The Dying West

The Western World’s diminished population can be expected to limit the economic well-being of the western nations. Shrinking populations do not provide for economic growth. The imbalance of economic opportunity and control over world resources, as they currently exist, will not continue. Deluded by overconfidence that we in the industrialized west will always remain “in charge” with the help of scientific technology, we have determined to reduce the competition by reducing the numbers of people in Third World countries.

But the joke’s on us…our own population has been reduced to the point that we can no longer support our country’s labor needs, our economies are shrinking, and we are now intent upon euthanizing our elderly and handicapped through the newly discovered “right to die.”

“In 1985, 37% of the total population of the developing world consisted of children below the ago of 15… only 4% were 65 years or older. By contrast, the developed countries population of children under 15 was 22% of the total, with 11% 65 years or older.”1

Xmas Greetings to Nairobi from the U.S. Christmas Grinch

The U.S. sent special Christmas greetings to the people of Nairobi. On 20 December 1991, 175 cartons of copper T, 380 IUDs arrived at the port of New Orleans for shipment to Nairobi via the port of Mombasa aboard the Ashley Lykes. The shipping label contained a picture of hands clasped under an American flag indicating that the contents of the cartons were donated by the people of the United States to the people of Kenya. The packing list declared that this shipment, which left via the Port of New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.A., was sent courtesy of the United States Agency of International Development (USAID).

The freight bill listed Matrix International of Alexandria, Virginia, U.S.A. as the shipper. Three of the cartons had been ripped open at the bottom as if a fork lift had torn them. The destination of the shipment was the Director of Family Health, Mbagathi Road, Nairobi, Kenya.

Matrix International Logistics, Inc. is a USAID contractor which “shall provide the Agency with freight-forwarding/warehousing services required for the shipment of contraceptives.” The initial contract — DPE-3018-C-00-9025-00, in the amount of $6,400,000, ran from 9/21/1989 to 9/30/91.2

There are many ways to profit from the population control industry.

IPPF Nazi Nexus

Hans Harmsen, “The co-founder and president of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) [and] its daughter organization in the Federal Republic of Germany, Profamilia… developed a concept for a population policy at the peak of the world economic crisis (1928–1932)… [The concept] was the foundation for the systematic execution of the racial policy in Nationalist Socialist Germany. [Note: Harmsen co-founded IPPF with Anne Marie Durand-Wever and Margaret Sanger]. This concept originated from research into hereditary biology and the attempt to develop a qualitative as quantitative demography. It led to demands for a eugenically oriented ‘differentiated’ welfare policy putting the research findings into [practice]. Based on cost-utility calculations and according to a criteria of productive capacity, productively capable sections of the population were to be promoted. On the other hand, economies were to be made in the care and preservation of people designated inferior, which meant socially marginal groups. Through institutionalization and sterilization, they were to be excluded from procreation. As a member of the worldwide movement for birth control, Harmsen supported family planning and sexual counseling. For eugenic reasons he advocated conscious parenting. He maintained that sexual and genetic counseling should be available with the aim of informing women about birth control, because only a healthy woman within an intact family could rear “healthy” and “eugenically worthy” children. This concept was applied world-wide after 1945 not only in the rebirth of the Family Planning Campaign in the Federal Republic of Germany, but also in countries in the Third World.”3

Developing Nations Chosen for AIDS Vaccine Testing

Four developing countries — Brazil, Rwanda, Thailand and Uganda — have been selected by the World Health Organization (WHO) as AIDS vaccine trial sites. The countries were chosen by the Steering Committee on Vaccine Development of the WHO Global programme on AIDS. “Testing of HIV vaccines in developing country’s [sic] will accelerate the development of appropriate HIV vaccines where the need is greatest,” said Dr. Michael Merson, director of the WHO program. The group has entered into discussions with vaccine manufacturers to explore ways in which an effective vaccine could be distributed to all the countries in the world.4

Zimbabwe Reports 76 Percent Climb in AIDS

A total of 4,557 people were diagnosed in Zimbabwe last year as having full blown AIDS, an increase of 76 percent, according to figures released by the country’s national AIDS control program.

World Health Organization data for January shows that Zimbabwe, with 10,551 cases since record — keeping began five years ago has the fifth highest incidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in Africa after Tanzania’s 27,396, Uganda’s 21, 719, Zaire’s 14,762 and Malawi’s 12,074.5

The Angst of Population Institute’s Werner Fornos

Werner Fornos, president of the UNFPA-funded Population Institute, alerted U.S. President George Bush to the “excellent opportunity” for the United States and China to “resolve the dispute” which sparked the cutoff of funding to the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA).

In a telegram to the President, Fornos stated, “You have refused to accept the repeated denials that Chinese government population efforts are coercive. You will now be in a position to ask Premier Li Peng for his personal assurance that the Chinese government’s family planning program is absolutely and unconditionally conducted on a voluntary basis.”

When the U.S. Congress first denied funding to UNFPA in 1985, Fornos filed suit in the U.S. District Court of Washington, D.C., establishing ‘standing’ in the case on the basis of the Population Institute’s funding by UNFPA.

In addition to supporting China’s coercive abortion and sterilization program, Fornos spawned the Center for Population Options (CPO) in 1980 to take over the Population Institute’s adolescent sexuality work in the U.S. CPO has become the entrepreneur of school-based clinics in the U.S., carrying out population control programs among American youth. They also brag about changing American values through their Media Advisory Committee which gained input on television shows such as All in the Family, Maude, James at Fifteen, and others.6

Abortions in China

In 1979, the United Nations Population Fund began its first $50 million five-year program of assistance to China’s population activities. “UNFPA’s support has been repeatedly cited by the Chinese authorities as proof of worldwide approval of their family planning program. Clearly, they have been encouraged in the pursuit of extreme measures by what they not unreasonably interpret as a continuing vote of confidence by the UNFPA. UNFPA has now implemented its third five-year program for China. It is giving the country $57 million for the years 1990–1994.

In 1988, 12.7 million abortions were performed in China. Ninety percent of the abortions were compulsory. By contrast there were 23 million births. In a few specified circumstances, a second child was permitted, but only about 5 percent of Chinese couples could meet the requirements. The one-child policy applied to the Han majority who made up about 96 percent of the country’s population.…

Families that refuse to abort an unauthorized pregnancy are often subject to social and political pressures, various forms of direct harassment, and mass mobilizations of pregnant women designed to leave them no choice but to submit to abortion.7

Europe’s Missing Children

“If people mean power, Europe’s is dwindling. In 1900 about a third of the world’s population lived in Europe. Now about a tenth does. And with Europeans having fewer babies than ever, their world will shrink further.

The fertility rate in the European Community has dropped in the past 30 years from an average of 2.6 children per woman to 1.6. Europe’s lowest birth rates are: 1.5 children per mother in Greece and Portugal; 1.3 in Spain, a touch below 1.3 in Italy.”8

Euthanasia and the European Bank

There is growing pressure throughout Europe and the United States to legalize euthanasia. “M. Jacques Attali, personal advisor to President Mitterand of France and President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development holds the following views: As soon as he goes beyond 60–65 years of age, man lives longer than his capacity to produce, and he then costs society a lot of money .… Indeed, from society’s point of view, it is preferable that the human machine should stop suddenly, rather than face progressive deterioration.… Euthanasia will become one of the essential instruments of our future societies in any case. In the logic of socialism…the problem must be presented as follows: The socialist logic is freedom, and the fundamental freedom is suicide; therefore the right to suicide, either directly or indirectly, is an absolute value in this type of society.”9

Bombs Hurt 50 at Bangladesh ‘Condom Show’

About 50 people were injured by crude bombs that exploded at a song-and-dance show promoting the sale of contraceptives, according to the police in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Some fundamentalist Moslem groups oppose birth control, saying it is against the precepts of Islam. Six people were admitted to the hospital in the town of Mymensingh, 70 miles north of Dhaka. The rest suffered minor injuries. More than 300 people were in an auditorium for the show, sponsored by Social Marketing Co., which was celebrating its sale of 1 billion condoms over 18 years. Police said five young men hurled about a half dozen bombs near the stage and fled in the ensuing melee.10

Another IUD from the Population-Crazed Population Council

Finland’s Huhtamaki group, known for its Norplant contraceptive implant, is now using a new IUD which releases progestin over a period of five years. This causes tissue on the inside of the uterus to atrophy “dramatically reducing menstrual bleeding and pain.” The new device has “the lowest failure rate of IUDS currently available,” according to the Population Council in New York, which helped develop the product. Timo Peltola, president of the $1.5 billion Finnish conglomerate, Huhtamaki, has completed its field testing in Scandinavia and recently won approval to market its IUD in Finland. Next, it hopes to get the product accepted in other European countries and in the U.S.11

UNFPA ‘Watchful Eye’ Overseeing Pakistan’s Program

Under the watchful eye of UNFPA’s director Nafis Sadik, Syeda Abida Hussain, Pakistan’s Minister of Population Welfare spelled out a new program at a United Nations press conference. The target of the program is to reduce population growth to 2.5 in the next 10 years. Like a true politician, Hussain glibly assured the world-at-large and Pakistanis in particular that: the program’s ultimate purpose is “to improve the quality of life” by “emphasizing family planning as a ‘community issue — not a woman’s issue’…” She said that despite Pakistan’s tradition as a male-dominated society, men are showing interest in limiting family size. And she paid tribute to the Sharif govemment, which she said is positive on women’s rights and the status of women, citing her own appointment as evidence of the new government’s orientation in that direction. Furthermore, she said, her ministry — which is charged with implementing the new population program — is the only one in the Cabinet other than the Defense Department that did not suffer a 1991 budget cut.12

Surprise! Surprise!

Philippines Targeted Again

Cecile Guidote-Alvarez, wife of Heherson T. Alvarez, chairman of the Philippine Senate’s Ecology and Natural Resources Committee, is waging a war against her own people. A director of Population Communications International, a New York-based population control group, Ms. Alvarez is carrying out a program titled “Earth Savers Movement.” The program is supported by a cross section of government departments, the business community and non-governmental organizations. Based at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Nature Center in Quezon City, the movement “has been praised by president Corazon Aquino” as a “learning center for street kids, the disabled and tribal youth.”

Earth Savers, a private, voluntary, non-profit organization, claims to be “creating sustainable development strategies” by integrating population, development and health strategies. “It mobilizes ‘eco-defenders’ to battle pollution, global warming, acid rain, the trade in wildlife, deforestation and other ecologically degrading phenomena.”13

.… and Again

Someone should take a close look at the latest Philippine agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). On January 10, the Philippine government announced a conditional agreement with the IMF on its economic program for 1992 that “would boost growth and lower inflation.”

Finance Minister Jesus Estanislao said the Philippines and the IMF had agreed on all economic targets for this year except how much the government spending deficit could be relaxed to take into account expenditure for reconstruction after the Mount Pinatubo volcano eruption last June.

The question is…does this “assistance” from the IMF include a population control component?14
