For the Record…

Human Events writer and Vice President for Communications at the Population Research Institute Joseph A. D’Agostino calls the UNFPA blitz in Mongolia, which has a dramatically falling birthrate, now at only 2.3 children per woman, as a ‘kinder, gentler genocide,’ comparing it to the one-child war being waged by UNFPA in neighbouring China. According to D’Agostino, 20 years ago the Mongolian birthrate was a much healthier 5 children per woman.

“‘Just as UNFPA continues its fanatical attempts to reduce childbearing worldwide despite suicidally dropping fertility, and rapid global aging predicted by the UN itself, the agency wants to make sure every nook and cranny of the planet is tainted by its anti-family and anti-child jihad,’ writes D’Agostino. ‘In fact, UNFPA’s attack on Mongolia looks like genocide. Just as UNFPA eagerly assists Communist China’s population control policy that imposes a limit of one or two children on Chinese families, UNFPA is helping to eliminate the Mongolian race and Mongolian culture from the face of the planet.’

“D’Agostino explains that the country will drop below its replacement birthrate by 2015. ‘So what is UNFPA doing to help ensure the survival of this small, unique people, the descendants of great conquerors of old such as Genghis and Kublai Khan? Exporting to them feminism, sexual liberation, and contraception, of course.’

“D’Agostino writes that the thinly-veiled agenda of the UNFPA is easily deciphered from its website. An article on UNFPA activity in Mongolia is titled ‘Young People in Mongolia; Finding Places Where Secrets Are Safe,’ and describes how a network of youth centres in and around the capital Ulaanbataar ‘provides teenagers with a safe space in which to get together, as well as opportunities to learn about, and protect, their reproductive health.’ Pro-life advocates who have worked in the UN are painfully aware of the fact that ‘reproductive health’ is a euphemism that most often covers abortion, contraception, and an ideological push for ‘alternative’ lifestyles.

“D’Agostino asks: ‘Is it an exaggeration to consider genocidal UNFPA’s efforts to circumvent families and other traditional Mongolian institutions and push youth into the hedonistic, anti-family culture of sex outside marriage and contraceptive use, when that tiny country’s birthrate is so low and dropping?’”

“Demographer Joseph A. D’Agostino of the Population Research institute in Virginia says concerns over the nation’s changing demographic and cultural makeup are legitimate.

“A lot of people feel that immigrants are coming in too fast, or maybe they are not being assimilated fast enough. So many Americans have experienced large areas of cities where people cannot speak English,’ says D’Agostino, ‘And if we can’t all communicate together with one language as Americans, it’s very difficult to see how we are going to have a cohesive society in the long-term. That’s a major problem that can result in the “Balkanization” of the United States over the long-term.’

“Based on current trends, D’Agostino says one of two scenarios is possible. ‘If by the year 2050 you have one-third of the population with Spanish as their first language, if you have people who have not assimilated the American ideals of rule of law and democracy, etc., America could face some really huge problems,’ says D’Agostino. ‘If on the other hand we restrict immigration severely but the birthrate doesn’t go up, then we’ll have an even worse problem with [an] aging population and not enough workers. So we’ve got to figure out what the right balance is. One great step forward would be to eliminate multi-culturalism and then again put a great emphasis on the assimilation of immigrants.’”

“Joseph A. D’Agostino (VP/Population Research Institute) admits that Americans’ birthrate is now lower than even the 1960s. In the first time since China’s Great Famine, rising death rates are slowing world population growth. Declining birthrates are resulting from abortion, fertility rates, AIDS, and contraception. In sub-Saharan Africa, the HIV virus, barring a medicinal miracle, will kill over one-fourth of the adult population in the next decade. For instance, in Zimbabwe the life expectancy has fallen from 6l years (1993) to 49 years (2000) [www.enerspace.com]. Fertility rates have dropped everywhere, and Population Reference Bureau cites South Korea, Japan, Kenya, and Ghana as some of the worst cases. In addition, many governments sterilize and abort citizens by force. This occurs with assistance of the UN, U.S., and government-supported agencies (i.e., Planned Parenthood).”

“In 2005, when the Ugandan program was under threat, U.S. researcher, Joseph A. D’Agostino wrote that it is the promoters of condoms who are endangering lives. ‘The UN’s approach has failed, and its own statistics show it,’ D’Agostino wrote. ‘HIV rates keep rising, to over 30% in some countries. Two decades of pornographic sex education and massive shipments of condoms have sent millions of young Africans to an early grave.’”
