CHAPTER 24 MANAGING HUMANITY The
implementation and permanence of the achievements of economic and biological
materialism can not be secured until it encompasses all of humanity and the
entire world, and the power monopolies, especially those of intellectual
leadership and of mass communications media, are firmly in the hands of
adherents of the elitist ideology and its ideological movement. (34) As
analyzed in the preceding two chapters, the ideology of the elitist movement and
the process of extra-political centralization have the following in common: (1)
the goal of lowering the world's population and eliminating its non-productive
members, (2)
universal applicability, (3)
overlapping leadership by elites belonging to the same ideological movement, (4)
the need for an international legal order to protect their activities and pursue
their goals. The
window of opportunity of this movement is the present, as long as the United
States is the only superpower and its only contemporary rival China pursues the
same depopulation policy and remains unable to oppose the creation of a global
economy, and as long as no other power centers (Russia, India, Moslem nations)
achieve consolidation. Even at present there appear limits to the possibilities
of the new world order imposing its will on very minor, but determined opponents
(the intervention in Iraq did not achieve the removal of its aggressive
government; in Somalia the resistance of one local tribal leader forced the
United Nations to evacuate the country; the efforts of the international
intervention in Bosna will, at best, only disguise the victory of the aggressor;
and the resistance of the Palestinians, Syria
and Israel to the conclusion of a lasting peace has not been overcome --
not to mention the continuous bloodletting in various areas of Africa). To the
global implementation of its goals, the elitist movement needs the creation of a
true international legal order with legislative, judicial and mainly executive
organs superior to its member states. Taking over U.S. Foreign Policy The
decisive event in elevating the implementation of the elitist movement's
ideology to the international and indeed global scene was a study undertaken by
the United States National Security Council in 1974 under the chairmanship of
Mr.Henry Kissinger. This study about 200 pages long dated December 10, 1974,
marked as Memorandum NSSM 200 and entitled "Implications of Worldwide
Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests" was immediately
classified as "secret" and not communicated to the legislative branch
of the U.S.Government. By an equally secret decision of President Ford
identified as NSDM 314 (National Security Memorandum 314) dated November 26,
1975, it was distributed as a binding political directive to the Secretaries of
State, Defense, Agriculture and Treasury, the Department of Health and Human
Services, commanders of all three branches of the U.S. military, to the
Directors of CIA and AID and the President's economic and environmental
councils. (For more details see Appendix 12.) Since
that time, all branches of the U.S. executive have followed, behind the back of
the elective organs and without the knowledge of the electorate, in U.S.
international relations and activities a radical depopulation policy. NSSM 200
is based on projected growth of humanity as it would be without deliberate
interference: 12 billion people in 2075. Due to disparities in the fertility
indices of countries, at that time the "developed" countries will
represent about 10% of the world population and the "poor" countries
about 90% (see Chapter 25, section on application of elitist ideology). Because
the United States with 6% of the world population would consume (at that time)
about 33% of the world's resources (and expect this share to grow), such a
discrepancy would create political and economic disturbances which would
endanger the supply of such resources. It is therefore in the U.S.' national and
security interest to protect their availability by artificially arresting the
growth of the "poor" world's population. The target was set at 8
billion permissible number of people. Because the projected number of the living
would, without interference, be 12 billion, the National Security Council
decided that the U.S. foreign policy should by intentional and deliberate action
prevent or destroy the lives of all people who would otherwise be born over the
limit of 8 billion until the denial of
life would reach the amount of 4 billion people in 2075. Compared with this
undertaking, the losses on human life of the two world wars and under the
communist and Nazi regimes appear almost puny. The
two documents then propose the methods how to achieve this result. To be effective, this strategy demands the creation of a worldwide
commitment of political leaders and of the people in favor of population
control. This presupposes two ways: it is necessary to enlist (more accurately:
to compel) the support of the governments of the underdeveloped countries and
carefully avoid the appearance of a industrialized nations' policy of taking
advantage (neocolonialism, exploitation, racial bias) of the underdeveloped
countries. The President and the Secretary of State are here charged with the
task to convince in person-to-person contacts the leaders of the target nations
about the need of braking the growth of their populations and of assuming the
"credit" for the introduction and implementation of the necessary
measures. It will also be up to these leaders to propose and assert the need of
family planning and population stabilization in multinational organizations and
in bilateral contacts with other leaders of the targeted nations (Appendix 11). The
argumentation must be couched in terms of individual and family rights to
determine the number of their offspring, and the introduction of anti-fertility
means and measures is to be portrayed as assistance for the exercise of such
rights. The campaign would be conducted on the basis of materials provided by
the UN or USIA (35). With the
carrot came also the stick: "population planning" and its organization
had to be integrated in the development plans of underdeveloped countries in
order to qualify for assistance. (36)
The documents also called for
the allocation of necessary funds. (37) Taking over the United Nations Rights For
the recommendation that the elitist ideology must be spread in the disguise of
implementing individual and family rights the activities of international
political institutions are indispensable. The process then follows an identical
sequence: (1) universal or widespread wants of individuals are identified; (2)
these wants are interpreted as universal "needs," (3) the fulfillment
of such needs is translated into "rights" of individuals, (4) the
United Nations Organization assumes the responsibility of having these rights
implemented through its bureaucracy and its members. The year 1994 was the year
in which a super-national organization -- the UN through the intermediary of the
Office for Population Affairs -- arrogated to itself the right to decide
population policies of member states as well as their methods including cultural
changes imposed from the outside. A
number of such "human rights" with openly depopulating or eugenic
purposes have so far failed to be approved as some sort of internationally
recognized norms. Such were the right to abortion (failed narrowly at the 1996
Cairo conference), the right to death, the right to homosexual unions or
life-styles, the rights of children to sexual activities or information about
sexual activities since the beginning of the age of reason (kindergarten),
although the legal systems of some (and most of the Western) countries have
already legalized them. Also attempts to cloak a right to abortion under the
terms of "reproductive rights" or "sexual rights" were
repudiated (at the Cairo Conference on Population and Development in September
1994); other "rights" have not made it to the UN level, such as the
human right of adultery or of prostitution (mentioned at the Second
International Conference on Health and Human Rights at Harvard University in
Cambridge, Ma., in October 1996). More
successful are proposed "rights" which respond to real needs of
individuals; their approval in principle is intertwined with anti-population
measures made possible by intentionally broad wording subject then to
interpretation by the executive organs (see Chapter 7, section on the lawless
state). The "right to
habitation" includes provision that this right is to apply only to small
families. The "right to health" includes provisions making assistance
conditional on submitting to depopulation measures. This pertains to individuals
as well as groups (f.i., cases of India and Indonesia --
see Appendix No.11). The
appeal to inalienable human rights served successfully as a battering ram
against autocratic states. After this
success, various formulations of inalienable rights became a part of
international agreements and treaties and became enforceable by joined military,
political and mainly economic operations of democratic states and of
international organizations. The content and nature of inalienable rights has
thus become subject to development; for instance, the last right added to the
previous ones is the right to free elections. Each of the
inalienable rights newly discovered or invented by international
organizations further limits the sovereignty of states and increases the power
of international institutions (and bureaucracies) and is used for this purpose. In
the progress towards a superstate, the individualist nature of human rights is
used to undermine and whittle down the sovereignty of states. The main
instrument to create global uniformity of thinking is the creation of a conflict
between the rights of the individual and the national interest and the one-sided
assertion of individual rights against the rights of any groups to which he
belongs - state, nation, family, church. The target is especially the nation as
an organic society which, while subsisting in individuals, has nevertheless its
own ontological existence; its existence is nowhere protected under
international law, and the protection of national interests is disparaged in
domestic law also by international measures limiting states' rights to regulate
immigration, to give preference to citizens or members of its founding and
sustaining nation, measures protecting minorities to an extent which
discriminates against the members of the majority. Other provisions embedded in
international treaties open the doors to penetration by extra-political
centralizing influences by economic, communication, health and other
multinational organizations and their untrammeled activities on the territory of
all member states, with the effect of promoting the creation of a homogeneous
mass culture on the foundation of common basic instincts and desires of
individuals. In 1993, UN's Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) created a
Commission on Human Rights which in turn established a Subcommission on Human
Rights composed of appointed experts, and the UN's activities concerning human
rights were to be coordinated by a Center for Human Rights and a High
Commissioner for Human Rights (position created in 1993) with a program of
creating a "universal culture of human rights" in the next century
through efforts within the UN system and dialogue with governments. UN
Development Fund includes in its program basic education, basic health care and
universal family planning as objectives for 2000; sex education is put on the
same level of importance as elimination of illiteracy. The
vulnerability of national independence is increased by the centralization of
culture in the direction of uniformity based on the lowest common denominator of
humans, i.e., their instincts, while their cultural differences are allowed to
wither away by neglect and omission. The culture which is at present the bearer
of the integration process, emphasizes the autonomy of the individual in his
relationship towards national cultures and religions which could generate
ideological movements aspiring at an integrated global order of a different
kind. This burgeoning conflict can produce effects dangerous to the whole idea
of global integration. The Way: International Bureaucracy The
structure of the United Nations Organization is not conducive to its
transformation into a superstate. Its norm-giving power rests in two
institutions: the General Assembly and the Security Council. In practice, and
largely also according to UN Charter, the Security Council has veto power over
resolutions of the General Assembly and each member of the Security Council has
a veto power over the resolutions
of the Council. Therefore, the norm-giving function of UN is at best cumbersome
and the center of activities shifted to an entrenched widespread bureaucracy which endeavors to build up an
effective enforcement through military formations created ad hoc from the armed
forces of (certain) member states (UNPROFOR, UNOSOM, and others). Plans for the
creation of a permanent UN army equipped possibly by nuclear weapons have so far
gotten nowhere. It
is of essence that the elitist movement accomplishes its goals through
institutions out of reach of the people, i.e., non-elective institutions, of
which bureaucracies are the most typical example. The growth of the power and
lack of responsibility of bureaucracies has been identified as one of the main
threats to democracy. While bureaucracies are hard to keep within bounds even in
democracies and were quite out of control in communist countries, the
bureaucracies of international organizations are twice removed from the people
since international organizations are organizations of governments and not of
elected representatives of nations. In the United Nations' organization, the
only time when member states can effectively influence its bureaucracy, is at
the selection of the Secretary General. Once elected he then appoints the heads
of UN Agencies who in turn select, appoint and hire their staff. Only those
member states which finance the bulk of the UN expenditures can influence behind
the scenes the composition of these international bodies, which means that the
United States with other Western industrialized states combined within the
framework of the European Union have a key voice in selecting UN staffs. Members
of the elitist movement, with a large representation from the Third World
countries, dominate the international bureaucracy and use their positions to
implement the ideology of economic and biological materialism. Managing,
i.e., at present containing, humanity's procreation by way of coercive
population control is the common goal of five specialized agencies of the United
Nations Organization: FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), UNDP (UN
Development Program), UNFPA (UN Population Fund), WHO (World Health
Organization), and UNICEF as evidenced by occasional pronouncements of their
respective directors and administrators and coordinated succession of world
conferences organized according the same pattern. The
bureaucracies of UNO's specialized agencies have practically accepted Kissinger
Commission's "World Population
Plan of Action" (see Appendix 12) as a plan of breeding the human race to
their specifications, have obtained the financial and material means for its
implementation and have enforced its execution on the global scale although no
such mandate has ever been given to them by the norm-giving bodies of the
organization. Moreover, even if the UNO's norm-giving organs wanted to adopt
such a plan, it would be against its Charter which does not recognize UNO as a
normgiver superior to the individual states and does not relegate them to the
role of UNO's subjects of duty. In spite of this, the coercion of nominally
sovereign states is routinely practiced through collusion (not conspiracy) of
the elites of the United States and certain Western states, agencies of UNO and
the World Bank as part of the movement towards reducing to territorial
administrative units nation states considered to be the greatest obstacle
towards a transformation of the world's nations into a new world order created
via facti and not by consensus of states and even less by the decision of their
citizens. The
pattern consists of the decision to organize a world conference on a subject
which corresponds to the agency's special purpose and touches simultaneously on
population control. Such conferences were World Summit for Children (1990),
the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo
(1994), World Summit on Social Development in Copenhagen (1995), UN Conference
on Women in Beijing (1995), Habitat II Conference in Istanbul (1996),
World Food Summit in Rome (1996). A
working paper is prepared by the agency's staff, repeatedly discussed and then
submitted to the conference. The conference is composed of representatives from
governments of member states with the presence and participation of
non-government organizations ("NGOs"); procedural technicalities allow
the organizers to aid those whose attitude is known to agree with the agency's
program. The working paper is then subjected to a discussion of the full session
of delegates and its various proposals are,
according to the opinions expressed by the governments' representatives, either
approved or amended; they are rarely rejected because, if the prepared working
paper meets strong opposition, the objectionable portion is amended. The
amendment is formulated to gain "consensus" by broadening the wording
so that it omits, but does not exclude the controversial provision: If a
provision asserting the right to abortion is contested, it is replaced by one
guaranteeing reproductive rights; if this is not acceptable, it provides for
health care, and if this does not meet with approval, it is replaced with
"social services" which, after the conference is ended, is interpreted
by the bureaucracy as including, as a matter of course, health care providing
also abortion or sterilization which, at the conference, was turned down. If
this manipulation fails, the matter is taken up by another conference which will
slip them in. This was the case with the Cairo conference whose rejected agenda
was subsequently taken up by the Beijing conference; when the FAO Food Summit
final preparatory meeting in September 1996 rejected outright the intentions of
the prepared working paper, FAO called subsequently a hastily scheduled
"intercessionary session" in October during which it managed to
introduce some of the rejected proposals into the document. The further step in
these tactics is the organizing of implementation sessions and stage-managed
follow-up meetings to circumvent the barriers elected by the government
delegates during the formal conferences. The results are then submitted to
member states for individual ratification, acceptance or implementation. Importantly,
in each of the documents, no matter what the subject is of the respective
conference, depopulation measures are dominant (38).
From the conference cycle, UNDP has composed an integrated plan whose first
objective is named "basic social services" interpreted as including
reproductive rights and the entire depopulation agenda rejected by the Cairo
Conference. The
latest link in this structure was the establishment of a self-appointed Earth
Charter Commission pretending to be a creation of "grassroots NGOs"
and actually hand picked by high-level UN functionaries whose declarations
evidenced the degree of their self-confidence (our emphasis) about the Earth
Charter: "This document will stand on its own authority. It
does not need government authority" (Maurice Strong) and
"Development assistance is a key ingredient of successful global
governance" (James Gustave Speth). The draft of the Charter includes as
a key element anti-population measures under the customary guise: "sexual
and reproductive health" (Art. 11) joined with "sustainable
development" (Art. 10). The
World Bank became an aggressive ally of the population control movement
world-wide under the leadership of Mr.McNamara and his elitist followers. In
allocation of credit lines and loans, the World Bank insists on inclusion of
depopulation measures among its conditions of granting assistance, on many
occasions acting as an instrument of U.S. depopulation policy. Private organizations If
left to the activities of individual governments, the depopulation program could
not proceed fast enough to prevent the development its originators and promoters
intend to prevent. To achieve this acceleration, cooperation of elitist private
organizations is necessary to form the third leg of the depopulation strategy. The
most important and influential among them is the International Planned
Parenthood Federation. It was founded as a rather cranky organization by a Mrs.
Margaret Sanger with a program of primitive eugenics of preventing the poor and
the lower races, i.e., Negroes, Latinos and Jews, from propagating, and having
recovered from the bad reputation eugenics suffered due to its Nazi version, it
became the main instrument of American upper and upper middle classes to support
the strategy of scientific breeding of the entire human race. Its international
headquarters are located in Great Britain. Funded generously by public monies (35) its network
spread throughout the world and became the spearhead of aggressive and sometimes
illegal (abortion, sterilization) birth control promoters in most states. The
IPPF is by no means the only important depopulation organization of the United
States with international influence; some of the others are: the Population
Council, Population Crisis Committee (later Population Action International),
the Pathfinder Fund, Association for Voluntary Surgical Contraception, most of
them disposing of millions of dollars annually from state budgets, UN's funds
and large private foundations. The importance of their support for the
"containment" of population consists of coordinating their role as
NGOs with the UN bureaucracy at international conferences and is evident also
from the share they contribute to birth control activities: (although in many
instances, they act only as a conduit of funds obtained from public sources to
their utilization in depopulation activities : from 1952 to 1991 it was
1,070,800,000 in constant US dollars (39). The
push contributed by the multi- and supranational economic corporations to the
depopulation movement worldwide can not be expressed in dollars. The
interpretation of human rights and the linkage of democracy with a market
economy allows an extra-political concentration of economic activities out of
control of individual states. By stifling free exchange of ideas especially in
the sphere of mass communications their influence is destructive of national
cultures and religious values and creates the universal world culture in the
image of elitist values . In September 1996, a "Soap Summit II" of
leading producers, directors and writers of "soap operas" took place
in New York, with the U.S. Undersecretary of State for Population Affairs
outlining the policy of his country: reducing reproduction of humanity was
identified as one of the administration's highest priorities and the role of
soap operas in the world's re-education was stressed and illustrated by examples
and their effectiveness (40). A
significant step in the direction of a universal world culture was the 1996
merger of the Time-Warner Corporation with the Turner Broadcasting conglomerate.
The resulting structure is the greatest global concentration in the areas of
information and culture; at the merger of these two gigantic enterprises among
the media the TV commentator on PBS Chicago stated on September 22, 1996, that
this joined corporation penetrates into minds of more people than anyone else
("no one not living in the woods is untouched") by its production of
movies, publications, music, rapp, television, broadcasts, scientific
literature, novels, pornography, video cassettes. It is the principal producer
in the fields of reporting and entertainment in the whole world, it owns the
most popular English language weeklies (Time, Life, Future, People and others),
TV and radio stations all over the world and with the exception of people
living in primeval forests every inhabitant of the planet is at least once daily
touched by one or another of the products of this mammoth conglomerate. Other
similar mergers followed with the same tendency: to spread into all areas of
communications and entertainment. Among them, the most important was the
conglomerate founded by the merger of Disney Corp. with ABC television whose aggressivity in programming the elitist ideology overtook in
a short time all others. When
internal guidelines of such a giant (issued by managers unknown and not
accountable to the people) "suggest" to its employees to substitute,
"for accuracy's sake," the
term "pro-choice" for
"pro-abortion" and the designation "anti-abortion"
for"pro-life", then such and similar manipulations of the language
have permanent consequences: since men think in concepts expressed by words and
the words are furnished to them by the media, they predetermine the boundaries
and the outcome of public debates on the issues or prevent thought from forming
true conclusions. Attempts of nation states like France or some post-communist
countries to isolate their culture from these influences were thwarted in the
name of human rights and/or in the interest of compatibility of legal systems of
various international bodies and treaties (European Union, NAFTA, BAFFT and
others). In this process, NGOs of international dimensions are assuming a
growing importance; from their originally consultative status they are changing
into pressure groups which homogenize life-styles and cultures of nations in
global dimensions. Results The
implementation of the depopulation plan has progressed very well. Between 1981
and 1991, the population growth of the following nations has dropped
significantly: Colombia by 27%, Brazil by 25%, India by 26%, Indonesia by 22%,
Mexico by 21%, Turkey by 14%, Nigeria by 10%. As of 1996, below reproduction
level, i.e., dying out were all European countries (except Malta) including
Russia, in Asia South Korea and Taiwan, in others, the survival is due more to
immigration (legal and illegal) than the vitality of the original stock. These
results indicate also that the homogenization of national cultures has made huge
progress and that elements of the elitist ideology mainly in the area of sexual
permissiveness and promiscuity have taken firm root everywhere. The main
obstacle to the spreading of the universal civic religion is the natural
inclination of people to have children and thus to extend their lives beyond
their death, tradition and religion; such resistance to the emerging universal
civic religion is being scientifically undermined. In order to weaken the
opposition of religion, AID funded in 1982 the John Hopkins University to
conduct research for overcoming Moslem resistance to contraceptive measures in
Africa, and in 1986 the University received a grant of 35 million dollars to
implement such a program. In the West, traditional churches, with the exception
of the Catholic Church, already yielded to the "signs of the times" by
relaxing moral norms governing family and sex life and by opening to women
participation in the priesthood: women can now be "priests" -- they do
not care to be priestesses. The United States has admitted women and homosexuals
to the military. Due to the papacy the Catholic Church has not changed its
doctrine, but the elitist civil religion has made great inroads: most of the
Church's theologians rejects doctrinal teaching concerning sexual morals, the
clergy generally avoid it and the majority of its believers ignore it. The
bulwark of the opposition to the new morality rests with the numerous
decentralized small evangelical and biblical churches whose members are
impervious to the elitist ideology. Evaluation Criticism
of biomaterialism and especially its program of quantitative regulation of world
population has pointed out the following errors: 1.
There is no world-wide food shortage. All Western countries have agricultural
surpluses in spite of programs of artificial restraints on production. Africa
would be self-sufficient and have food surpluses with introduction of modern
technology, especially irrigation. Three countries bordering Lake Malawi --
Malawi, Tanzania and Mozambique -- each could feed all of Africa with proper use
of the abundant resources: fertile soil and fresh water. A joint study of FAO
and UNFPA from 1982 concluded that the underdeveloped countries excluding China
could sustain 33 billion people; a publication of UNFPA of 1990 asserts that
land potentially capable of agricultural production could sustain a world
population stabilized at the level of 14 billion people. 2.
Famines are seldom occasioned by natural causes; usually they are
consequences of an incompetent economic system (in the past mostly
socialism/communism) or anarchy (Somalia, Sudan, Mozambique, Rwanda, Burundi,
Congo and others). These cases require political solutions;
reduction of the number of people can not solve them.
3.
Birth control causes progressive aging of the population which puts the
burden of sustenance of the growing strata of the aging population on the
present productive part of the people; this causes economic hardships and
dislocations. 4.
The free market system works best under the conditions of expanding
markets and demand. Therefore, developed nations strive to expand their markets
by penetrating into undeveloped or developing
countries through creation of free trade zones (NAFTA and its expansion into
South America, the inclusion of Russia into the global economy, expansion of
NATO eastward). The effects of depopulation go against this economic expansion
and can not be offset by the demand of an increasing standard of living. 5.
The use of contraceptives has social and sociological consequences well
beyond the control of population: the change of the function or abolition of the
institution of the family, disruption of moral norms and their integrating
effect, psychological dysfunctions in children and adolescents, epidemics of
existing and new venereal diseases. 6.
Population cannot be controlled any better than economy; in both cases,
the same principles of free market apply; the attempt to control births requires
an extension of the power of state bureaucracies to include the most intimate
sphere of human life and a totalitarian system exceeding any of its previous
incarnations. 7.
Depopulation politics can not be arbitrarily arrested or reversed; once
the public accepts the elitist civil religion as the normal way of life, it will
proceed below the reproductive minimum which will necessitate repleting the
population deficit through biotechnology. It
is a fact that a rapidly increasing population creates problems of growth which
must be solved by human reason. and that the World Population Plan of Action is
an attempt to do so. Based on erroneous philosophy and authoritarian ideology it
is bound to fail; but being the only one in existence, it has a monopoly on
implementation. Its secretiveness and manipulative ways of implementation
prevent its errors from being corrected and its critics who are right in
pointing out its mistakes are prevented by the Movement from formulating and
presenting alternatives. Such
are the following “Facts on Hunger and Poverty” disseminated by the Catholic
Relief Services of Chicago in July 2000: ∑
the world produces enough food to feed each human being with 3500
calories a day; millions of people are too poor to buy the food that is
available ∑
$13 billion would provide basic health care and nutrition for the
world’s impoverished people; in the U.S. and Europe $17 billion are spent
annually on food for pets ∑
it would cost $6 billion to
provide basic education worldwide for all people who lack any access to
education; the cost of cosmetics spent in the U.S. annually amounts to $8 billion ∑
the combined assets of the world’s 3 wealthiest people exceed the
combined gross domestic products of the world’s poorest 48 countries. No matter what is the accuracy of these dramatic assertions, they have met with the easiest and most deadly refutation: absolute silence.
