in 1974, the eugenicist Henry Kissinger (National
Security Advisor at the time) published National
Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications
of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security
and Overseas Interests (NSSM200). this study
was adopted as official U.S. policy in 1975.
as the title implies, the report discusses
the need for population growth in developing
countries. the main form of population growth
endorsed is, of course, abortion.
Kissinger supported an interesting method
of encouraging countries to engage in abortion,
as seen in part 2 of the study:
Since population growth is a major determinant
of increases in food demand, allocation of
scarce PL 480 resources should take account
of what steps a country is taking in population
control as well as food production. In these
sensitive relationships, however, it is important
in style as well as substance to avoid the
appearance of coercion.
in case you missed it, let me spell that out
for you: we should give preferential treatment
with regards to food and aid to countries
which are committed to using abortion as a
method of population control. but, we should
be sneaky about it!
it is important to note that the US refuses
to rescind this policy, even after being called
upon to do so ever since the report was made
public in the early 90s. if something seems
familiar about this, its probably because
one of Obamas first moves in office was to
reinforce this policy of providing aid to
abortion-happy African countries.
and if you still think this is all in the
past, I refer you to a chilling statement
made by our current National Security Advisor,
James Jones to the CFR (Council on Foreign
Relations): As the most recent National Security
Advisor of the United States, I take my daily
orders from Dr. Kissinger.
hopefully this also gives some insight into
why violent wars are perpetuated by the US.
they are not meant to be won, only sustained,
for the optimal amount of death and financial
gain.
