History of Eugenics
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/Organizatio ns/ healthnet/SAsia/repro/rao3.html
In 1940 Henry Pratt Fairchild, president of The American Eugenics Society, told the annual meeting of the Birth Control Federation, the new incarnation of the American Birth Control League:
”One of the most outstanding features of the present conference is the practically universal acceptance of the fact that these two movements (viz, eugenics and birth control) have now come to such a thorough
understanding and have drawn so close together as to be almost indistinguishable” [Gordon 1976].
This momentous marriage had the financial backing of American corporatecapital that had
earlier supported eugenics; Gordon notes that "in no academic field was the coalition between corporate capital and scholars developed more fully than in eugenics ".
In America the eugenics movement
gained momentum early in the 20th century, mainly at the instance of natural scientists convinced by Galton that 'genius' was a heritable characteristic. The rediscovery of Mendel's work in 1900 led to the formation
of the American Breeders Association in 1903. In 1906, a Eugenics Section of the Association was established to "emphasise the value of superior blood and the menace to society of inferior blood"
[Hodgson 1991]. The American eugenic movement involved itself with legislation to restrict immigration for
"unrestricted immigration", especially of those not Anglo-Saxon or Nordic, was described as the "annihilator of our native stock". The eugenists were also instrumental in
initiating legislation and carrying out eugenic sterilisations on institutionalised mentally subnormal, the epileptic and the psychotic. Indeed, the eugenicist Leon F Whitney wrote, "We cannot but
admire the foresight of the (German) plan (of sterilising 4,00,000 people) and realise by this action Germany is going to make herself a stronger nation". He also observed "the Negroes furnished six
times as many sub-normals as did the native-born whites".
Let us note that the victims of all this 'scientific' hysteria were the weak, the powerless and the helpless. That the eugenist utopia continues
to exert a powerful attraction, despite being shorn of its scientific halo, is evident in even current legislation and practice; regarding, for example, the introduction of hormonal implant contraceptives in the US.
Women on welfare, with either a criminal record or a record of 'child neglect', must have Norplant implanted in order to be eligible for welfare. Thus the vast majority of women subjected to Norplant are blacks or Hispanics
[Srinivas 1992].
Eugenics was scientifically discredited by that famous biologist (and friend of India)
J.B. S Haldane. But it was Herman Mueller's discovery of mutation the early 1940s that
denuded it
of the very last vestiges of scientific respectability. The eugenic lobby now
turned to what they called crypto- eugenics or population control.
In 1956 the British Eugenics Society decided in a resolution:
”that the Society should pursue eugenic ends by less obvious means, that is by a policy of crypto- eugenics.
The Society's activities in crypto-eugenics should be pursued vigorously, and specifically that the Society should increase its monetary support of the Family Planning Association and the International Planned
Parenthood Federation
[Greer 1984].
The example of a backward nation (USSR) achieving planned and rapid industrialisation was heartening to demographers that believed that industrialisation and
modernisation
necessarily preceded fertility decline. But when America's war ally grew to be her most feared competitor in the cold war era, and when the third world became the arena of this competition, such
a line of thought- particularly in the paranoid McCarthy- years- was no longer possible. Population growth in these third world countries was now a source of horror; inseparable from the probable political consequences
envisioned. The establishment of a communist state in China injected a note of urgency to these worries. The ruling classes in the first world were acutely aware that the third world was the source of raw
materials that they must continue to have access to; the defection of these nations would be a blow to their economic interests.
Davis, like other western demographer, was attempting to influence US policy-makers
to include population control as a component of US aid by playing on their fears of
communism.
American Corporate Funding
Once very significant if not decisive, influence on the shape of
demography and the growth of the population control lobby was the quantum and nature of funding. We had earlier noted that eugenics had attracted American corporate capital. With the co-option of eugenics into
the population control movement, funds began flowing, initially from the Ford Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation,
into both demography as an academic discipline and its policy counterpart, the population control lobby. Between 195 and 1975, the Ford Foundation had spent more that 150 million dollars on population
control. Of this, about 80 million went into research and training in reproductive biology.About 35 million was used to finance family planning programmes. India received more than 20 million dollars [Domerath
1976].
Hodgson notes that:
the expenditures on demography had a profound impact. In 1950 it was taught at the
graduate level in only three places. Seven additional programmes were added between
1951 and 1961; nine more between 1961 and 1967. From 1952 to 1968 a dozen population centres in the United States were the recipients of major Ford Foundation funding.
In 1952 John D Rockerfeller, a major
actor in the arena of population control, established the Population Council. The Population Council stepped in to aid demography’s rapid growth with its fellowship programme and by institutional grants.
These funds changed a small group of scholars, sharing an interest in a subject, into a substantial group of researchers attempting to resolve a crisis of their own making.
Foundations also funded the establishment of population programmes as American universities with special fellowships for third world students.
These students were trained here to view fertility as a variable
capable of being manipulated by contraceptive technology; a variable, which could be moulded into a solution to the problem of poverty in their societies. Leading third world demographers were thus trained to
imbibe and share the perception of the West on the population problem and its solutions.
Journals dealing with demography were also funded by monopoly capital. (DILLON?)
The Population Council published
Studies in Family Planning and Population and Development Review;
The Ford Foundation provided the seed capital for Demography; and that handmaiden of US foreign policy then engaged in containing communism in Vietnam, USAID, funded the International
Family Planning Perspective
[Hodgson 1988].
It was in this period - the 50s. - That the population control lobby was consolidated.
Hugh M Moore, an American millionaire, established the
Hugh Moore Fund, which published a pamphlet called The Population Bomb in 1954. The Ford Foundation joined Moore and Rockefeller in their activities.
In 1952, Margaret Sanger and Lady Rama Rao launched the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) in Bombay. One of the most influential people invited to this conference was the eugenist C P Blacker who
set the agenda
The IPPF has been a major force in the population control movement across the globe. The funding for the IPPF initially came from the Hugh Moore Fund and Rockefeller Foundation.Soon it
attracted funding from Dupont Chemicals, Standard Oil and Shell. On the board ofIPPF sit representative of Dupont, U S Sugar Corporation, General Motors, Chase Manhattan Bank,Newmont Mining, International Nickel.
Marconi RCA, Xerox and Gulf Oil, a veritable Who’s Who of America's corporate and finance capital.
The Rockefeller Foundation and The Milbank Memorial Fund founded an office of Population Research in
Princeton University. The office included leading demographers such as Kingsley Davis and Frank Notestein. When Rockefeller founded the Population Council both these demographers took up employment there [Gordon
1976]. Hugh Moore founded the World Population Emergency Campaign in 1960 with funds from his foundation and from Dupont. The then president of the World Bank ran the campaign. The primary aim of the World Population
Emergency Campaign was to create and reinforce First World fears of a population explosion in Third World countries [Geoge 1976]. It has been suggested that the revolution in Cuba provided additional impetus to
these fears [Mass 1974]. The emergency campaign and the population council began
a systematic and forceful campaign to influence US policy-makers to include population control as a component of US aid to third world countries.
This campaign bore fruit in 1966, when president
Johnson included a commitment of federal funding for population control.
: John D Rockefeller emphasised the limitations of private efforts at population control hitherto employed and called for greater governmental
participation: "The problems o population are so great, so important, so ramified and so immediate that only government, supported and inspired by private initiative, can attack them on the scale required"
[Doyal 1981].
In other words, two developments followed the grant of government support for population control: one, the amount of funds available increased enormously and second, the
private foundation shifted some of the costs to the American tax-payer who had by now been convinced that population growth in Third World countries ate into the world's resources.The US government now
began to expend massive funds on population control. Expenditure increased from 4.6 million dollars in 1965 to 14.7 million dollars in 1969; USAID funding increased from 10.5 million in 1965 to 45.5 million in 1969 and 123
million by 1972 [Caldwell 1986].
At the same time, changes in American policy began to exert an influence on the United Nations.
The late 60s involved a number of UN and multinational agencies, including the UNFPA and the World Bank,
in population control programmes in Third World countries. The president of the World Bank, Robert McNamara explained:
My responsibility as president of the World Bank compels me to be candid. Are we to solve
this problem by famine? Are we to solve it by riot, by insurrection, by the violence that desperately starving men can be driven to? [Mass 1974].
The World Bank officially stated:
All such activity
arises out of the concern of the Bank for the way in which the rapid
growth of population has become a major obstacle to social and economic development in
many of our member states.
Family planning programmes are less costly than conventional development projects [Mass 1974].
The rich nations of the globe constituting 18 percent of the population consume 66 percent of the gross
world product, whereas the poorer nations of the globe with 50 percent of the world's population consume 14 percent of the gross world product [Bondestam 1980].
Population’s growth in the periphery is a drop
in the ocean compared to the consumption of the populations of rich nations. Neo-Malthusian views focusing on birth rates in the periphery obscure this critical issue. They divert attention from the fact that
resources are being exploited in the third world by first world nations, and that there is a net transfer of resources from the developing world to the industrialised world which is of the order of 40 to 50 billion dollars every year [UNICEF 1992]. This does not occur naturally, fortuitously or automatically; it is the product of social, economic and political institutions, both in the first world and the development world. In other words, the ruling classes in the third world are part and parcel of this arrangement of the utilisation of resources

AIDs
Face of AIDS changing
Minorities outnumber whites in new cases "a striking change in what was once known as a disease of gay white men, the U.S. surgeon general said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oct. 4 — Blacks and Hispanics accounted for nearly 70 percent of new HIV infections from July 1999 to June of this year
London: The theory that AIDS was an accidental
by-product of experiments with a polio vaccine about 1950 has been undermined by a study suggesting the virus first crossed from a chimpanzee to a human 20 years earlier.
AIDS, which has infected up to
40 million people, is now the leading cause of death among adults in sub-Saharan Africa.
Some claim the disease emerged in humans when the kidneys of chimpanzees, infected with a form of the virus, were
used to make a polio vaccine tested on people in the Belgian Congo in the early '50s.
This theory, which originated in the '80s, has been given a new lease of life by The River, a book by Edward Hooper.
Now a genetic study of the virus, conducted by Dr Bette Korber and Dr Tanmoy Bhattacharya in New Mexico, has shown that the last common ancestor of the virus that caused the AIDS pandemic appeared before the
vaccine was developed, in about 1930 - give or take about 20 years.
(Plenty time to research and develop:NBF)
It is not possible to say, based on this analysis, whether the last common ancestor resided in a human host or in a
chimpanzee, but it does undermine the vaccine theory by suggesting that multiple strains of the AIDS virus were well established in humans by 1950, several years before the polio vaccines were made.
Thus, for the
(Initial) transfer to have taken place through the vaccine, and to be consistent with their analysis, multiple strains of the virus would have to have been introduced through the vaccine. Dr Korber
believes that makes the vaccine theory unlikely.
Part of the reason many have concentrated on a post-war origin of AIDS is that the oldest specimen of HIV was found in blood taken in 1959 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, when a
Bantu man turned up at a clinic with symptoms resembling sickle-cell anaemia.
But those sceptical of the vaccine theory argue the virus has jumped from chimpanzees to humans many times in thousands of
years and, until this century, affected individuals had died before spreading
HIV.
Evidence to clarify any role the polio vaccine played in the AIDS epidemic is being sought by the Wistar Institute in
Philadelphia, which made the vaccine more than 40 years ago.
We couldn't clean up the adeno virus vaccine seed stocks grown in monkey kidney cells." The seed stocks apparently were always
contaminated but the vaccines were still administered. [The supplier of these contaminated monkeys from at least 1962 to the mid 1970s was Litton Bionetics, a top U.S. Army biological weapons contractor.
Dr. Hilleman was the chief investigator overseeing the Merckcontract to develop the hepatitis B vaccine that appears to have most plausibly initiated the AIDS epidemic. Merck's President, George W. Merck, was an
America’s biological weapon industry director personally appointed by President Roosevelt following WWII. Merck and Company, Inc. also is infamous for having received a large infusion of cash
around the same time to secure a virtual monopoly over the chemical and pharmaceutical industries by Martin Bormann,
Hitler's top financial officer for the Third Reich. (See: "Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile" by the reputable CBS News correspondent Paul Manning published by Lyle Stuart Inc., 1981, pp. 29, 56 and134).

According to Manning, Merck along with Germany's leading industrial organization--I.G. Farben (a Rockefeller Standard Oil partner)-
- received the money to help actualise Hitler's proclaimed "vision of a thousand-year Third Reich [and] world empire. This was outlined with clarity in a document call 'Neuordunung,' or 'New Order,'
that was accompanied by a letter of transmittal to the [Bormann led] Ministry of Economics. It declared that a new order for the chemical [and pharmaceutical] industry of the world should supplement Hitler's New
Order (pg. 56) . . ..
'Bury your treasure,'" Hitler advised Bormann, "for you will need it to
begin a Fourth Reich." According to Manning's report, that is precisely what Bormann
did "when he set in motion the 'flight capital' scheme August 10, 1944, in Strasbourg. The treasure, the golden ring, he envisioned for the new Germany was
the sophisticated distribution of national and corporate assets to
safe havens . . ." such as Merck.]

“In contrast to every previous occasion.... he met us alone.... What was more he seemed genuinely distressed...anxious to confide in us...degree of Friction within the Ranks of the Order.... caused by the Anglo-American Contingent...who wished to move in a different direction...He refused to elaborate...grew reticent.... already said too much.
In consequence we received, no indication as to who the Anglo-American Contingent might be, or of what might constitute the bone of contention.

FACT: AIDS RETRO VIRUS FIRST ISOLATED IN 1984.
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our union and have respected their promise of discretion for almost four decades...it would not have been possible to develop our world project if we had been subjected to the full fire of publicity all these years. The supranational sovereignty of an international elite and of world bankers is surely preferable to the self-determination which has been practised for centuries past.”
David Rockerfella at a re-union of The Bilderberg Group (where politicians get their orders from bankers) The Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission (on which banks and governments meet) at Sand, Germany in June 1996
THE FINAL SOLUTION Strategy-Concept of Operations 1. HIV does not cause disease 2. AIDS is not a single disease, it is a group of diseases that would have presented within the populations anyway.(albeit at a much lower frequency had
"vaccines" not been used to limit immune responses) 3. The presence of the HIV retrovirus is irrelevent to the progress of these diseases. 4. AZT and other immuno-suppresants have been introduced , with public funding and approval to reduce the population of: Homosexual males, IV Drug users, the
population of the 3rd world, and increasingly, indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities in America.
"Multiple Strains" Introduced via the polio vaccines between 1962-1971, would
appear to have been an epidemialogical study of the effects of immunosuppressants, which when combined with malnutrition, increase the frequency and impact of a wide range of diseases, with the
"discovery" of HIV in 1984, a way was opened for the eventual introduction of AZT etc.
By restricting access to AZT, the pharmaceuatical companies have now created a situation
whereby they can, with the full approval of "the people" deliver the "Final Solution" to the problem of over population in the 3rd world.
Because it is obviously
unfair to deprive the AIDS victims of Africa etc of the only "cure" for this disease.
AZT-Zyclon B, it even rhymes !!!
