The History and Practice of Eugenics
Human Genetic Engineering
Aldous Huxley's Brave New World
depicted a future society, where people are selectively bred to be
genetically perfect. Their genes determine which class of people they
will be born into, a sort of genetic caste system. In our time, this
will play out through human genetic engineering. This field purports
to be trying to correct the genes that cause disease and chronic
health conditions.
What genetic engineering does is alter
a person's genotype, or their genetic makeup, in order to change
their observable traits, or phenotype. Under modern eugenics,
negative and positive are terms applied differently.
Negative engineering, attempts to fix,
things that are wrong, genetic abnormalities, etc. This is
accomplished, by removing genes to prevent diseases or treat genetic
diseases. The cells that are altered are called somatic cells. They
are non-reproductive cells. This is referred to as gene therapy and
somatic cell gene transfer,(SCGT).
Some of the systems in the human body
have self-renewing stem cells. They are constantly dividing to
replenish all of the cells within that sytem. Bone marrow has these
cells that regenerate in order to make new red and white blood cells.
But there are other areas of the body like nerve cells, that don't
have these self-renewing stem cells.These are the cells that
scientific researchers want to use embryonic stem cells for.
Embryonic stem cells, can become any cell type in the body, because
they are not already coded for a specific purpose or area of the
body.
Once the doctors have these replacement
cells, they have to get them into the area of the body they are
designed to fix or treat. They often use viruses to do this and the
patient runs the risk of a severe autoimmune response, which could
lead to death.
But there have been successes, and
there are projects being conducted, aimed at curing cancer, blindness
and bone marrow diseases.
Negative genetic engineering is also
being used to find genetic diseases before and during pregnancy. Most
people are at least slightly familiar with what an amniocentesis is.
It is when they take a sample of the embryonic fluid withing the
amniotic sac. It was only used during the first trimester of
pregnancy. Parents who have trouble conceiving can opt to undergo in
vitro fertilization and implantation of an embryo. Now they have the
option to have preimplantation diagnosis (PGD). This gives parents
the ability to only have the healthiest embryos implanted. The
embryos not chosen for implantation, are usually disposed of. Parents
have to decide whether or not an embryo with a medical condition
should be disposed of even if the condition is treatable. Parents
could conceivably pick the sex or eye color of the embryos they
implant.
If at some future date, the technology
is perfected to allow genetic modification of an embryo through gene
therapy, it would also affect the embryos sperm or ovum. This gene
modification would effectively be changing the genes passed on to
successive generations. This is called inheritable genetic
modification.
Positive genetic engineering attempts
to improve upon people's genetic makeup or the the genes of their
offspring. This is sometimes called gene doping. In 2008, the World
Anti-Doping Agency defined it as the "non-therapeutic use of
cells, genes, genetic elements, or modulation of gene expression
having the capacity to enhance performance."
It has not been documented to be
occurring, there are those who believe it is being conducted in
secret. Earlier, I wrote about the insulin-like growth factor
1(IGF-1) in food. But in 2002, researchers were inserting IGF-1 into
the muscle cells of mice to enlarge their muscles and creating
"Schwarzenegger Mice." It has also been reported that the
fat-burning protein PPAR into mice, gave the ability to run twice as
fast. If athletes began using this method of enhancement, those who
were testing for it, would have to completely sequence their genome
to find evidence of it.
In the not too distant future, people
will have to decide where to draw the line. If we altered the genes
of short people, so that they could become taller, or gave people
better eyesight, without regulation, what is to stop doctors from
making people more intelligent or more athletic.
Eugenics is being proposed to us as a
choice, as opposed to the forced government coercion of the past.
Julian Savulescu is chair of the Oxford Center for Practical Ethics
at Oxford University. In a paper he wrote in 2002, called Procreative
Beneficence: Why We Should Select the Best Children, he said,
"Couples should select embryos or fetuses which are most likely
to have the best life, based on available genetic information,
including information about non-disease genes." He supports
choosing children not just with their health in mind, but based on
intelligence and gender. He refers to it as a "private
enterprise" that is based on the choice of the parents. I have
already covered what has happened in China, due to the practice of
choosing the viability of a life based on gender. What is less well
known, is that parents in the U.S. are choosing in increasing numbers
to have male children, which is resulting in a declining number of
female children.
If we as a society value male life
above female life prior to birth, obviously, female children are
going to face discrimination their whole life for being female. A
system of giving women reproductive rights, in order to make their
lives better, will ultimately make the life of women worse.
The National Bureau of Economic
Research, published a paper called, The Demand for Sons: Evidence
from Divorce, Fertility, and Shotgun Marriage (NBER Working Paper No.
10281),by Gordon Dahl and Enrico Moretti. They say that "Parental
preference affects divorce, child custody, marriage, shotgun marriage
when the sex of the child is known before birth, child support
payments, and the decision of parents not to have any more children."
They compiled statistics from the U.S.
Census from 1940-2000. These statistics show that a first born
daughter is much less likely to be living with her father than a
first born son. This is because women who only have female children
are 2-7 percent more likely to never become married than women with
male children. When parents marry because of an unplanned pregnancy,
the so called shotgun wedding, it happens much more frequently when
they know from an ultrasound that the baby is a boy. If the parents
do not know the sex of the baby, the rate of marriage before birth is
about the same. Statistic are showing that men who know they are
about to have a son, are much more likely to marry the mother.
Couples who only have girls, get
divorced more frequently than parents of boys. This increase is
between 1 and 7 percent. This would indicate at least the possibility
that men prefer spending time with sons than with daughters. They
would lose this ability or find it severely limited after a divorce,
and therefore may be less willing to lose access to sons as a result
of divorce and therefore stay married. This difference in divorce
rate is not effected by geographic region, race or economic pr
educational level of the family. Fathers are also 11-22 percent more
likely to have custody of their sons after a divorce than they are to
have custody of their daughters.
Families that already have at least two
children, are more likely to have another child if their existing
children are girls. Divorced mothers are less likely to get child
support for two daughters than for two sons.
Dahl and Moretti say that polls taken
since 1940 show that men would prefer to have a son by more than a
two to one margin. Women have much less preference toward having
daughters.
At the present time, it is expensive to
have testing done to choose the sex of your unborn child, but in the
future such will not be the case. "As the cost of procedures
falls and their reliability rises, the sex-ratio in the population
may slowly become more male," Dahl and Moretti conclude. "More
importantly, the bias for boys evidenced by our results may lead to
worse outcomes for daughters."

But in the West, we have consistently
had a stronger prejudice against the sick and disabled than we do
against female children.
In April of 2012, ABC reported that a
new test to determine if your child had Down's Syndrome, as early as
the 10th week of pregnancy. It is called the MaterniT21. It detects
extra chromosomes floating around in the mother's blood from the
baby. The tests can result in miscarriage. And since most insurance
companies are not yet covering it, the cost to parents is about
$475.http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/health&id=8634164
A doctor at Children's Hospital Boston,
Dr. Brian Skotko, who is a clinical fellow in genetics was the lead
study author on a study of 3000 Down's Syndrome patients and their
families. It was published in the American Journal of Medical
Genetics in October 2011. The study found that siblings age 12 and
older were 97 percent said they felt proud of their siblings with
Down's Syndrome. The children who themselves had Down's Syndrome 99
percent said they were happy, 97 percent liked who they are, and 96
percent were happy with their appearance.
The level of disability and health
problems that accompany Down's Syndrome varies. It causes impairment
of intellect, heart and stomach problems weak immune system, poor
hearing and a shortened lifespan, typically living to their 50's.
Some of the children are high-functioning, and healthy. But others
can be severely disabled and unable to communicate. Up to 90% of
women abort their pregnancies, when told the fetus has Down's
Syndrome. While I would hesitate to fault parents who choose to abort
a child when faced with the daunting diagnosis of Down's Syndrome,
this study does show that there are some misconceptions as to whether
such a child and their family can lead happy fulfilling lives.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44703812/ns/health-health_care/t/down-syndromes-rewards-touted-new-test-looms/#.T-q5ZVTwGSo
What other sector of the population can
say that 90 percent of them are happy?
In the Journal of Legal Medicine a
doctor and lawyer said that a woman who gave birth to a child with
Tay-Sachs disease, after being given the diagnosis, should be
prosecuted. (Lori B. Andrews, “The Clone Age: Adventures in the New
World of Reproductive Technology,” p. 161).
Those who support modern eugenics, say
that since it is personal choice, it will not be plagued with the
evils perpetrated in the past. I would like to know when in human
history has the ability to have free choice, prevented abuse of that
freedom?
I believe that all human life is
valuable and it should be respected, protected and treated with
dignity. We all have human dignity. This is not dependent on our
genetics or our perceived disabilities. Our human dignity can not
been seen in our genes under a microscope. It has to be experienced.
“The people of our time, sensitized
by the terrible vicissitudes that have covered the 20th century and
the very beginning of this one in mourning, are able to understand
that man’s dignity is not identified with his DNA genes and that it
does not diminish with the eventual presence of physical differences
or genetic defects.”--Pope Benedict XVI, 2005
Darwin felt that, "Elite status is
prima facie evidence of evolutionary superiority."
I am not from any elite family, but my
genealogy goes all the way back to Cleopatra; I descend from the
kings of the once mythical city of Troy; I descend from a long line
of pharaohs; I descend from dozens of Roman Caesars; there are kings
from the Jewish diaspora in my heritage; I have several lines from
Merovic, the king who the Merovingians derive their name from; I have
countless families of European nobility within my line; I descend
from the kings of France, Spain, Britain, Scotland and Ireland and
Wales; The only difference between me and many other Americans is
that I have sought out the information and can prove it. The
difference between me and most of the so called elite, is that at
some point my ancestors stopped feeling that your bloodline was of
more importance than what you did with your life. I do not believe
anything is "prima facie evidence of evolutionary superiority."
I believe that you prove your superiority with your actions and your
character. And above all, I believe that God is no respecter of
persons. If it is not in his plan, eugenics will never improve upon
His creation. The created cannot improve on the work of the Creator.
They may be able to alter or change it, but never improve upon His
creation. He didn't put us here to evolve, but to transcend. We were
given free will with which to achieve it. If you allow them to take
it away, you will never fulfill your purpose.
Men, in their effort to improve
humanity have instead, committed some grievous wrongs against mankind
in their arrogance
“All animals are created equal, some
are just more equal than others”. --George Orwell, Animal Farm.

FEMA Camps
I recently saw some statistics, which
show the US as being the largest prison state in the world. These
statistics show the US having more inmates that China and Russia. In
2006, we had 7,000,000 inmates. Some of the statistics were taken
from Justice Policy Institute Report: The Punishing Decade, and US
Bureau of Justice Statistics Bulletin, NCJ219416, which shows inmates
in 2006.
Since 1971, when Nixon declared a "War
on Drugs," there has been a huge increase in the number of
prisoners. We also, now have, a large amount of privately owned
prisons. In 2001, there were about 140,000 prisoners in these private
prisons. I also saw video of a Corrections Corporation of America
prison that has railroad tracks going to it. Now, logic would make
you think that would be a security risk, so why do you suppose they
are there? So, they can ship in massive amounts of prisoners,
perhaps? These companies that own privately, run prisons, are less
accountable to the public.
H.R. 645 calls for the establishment of
detainment facilities all over the US, without specifying who would
be imprisoned in them.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZY-XIq1xrU On
this same video, you can see a place that has tens of thousands of
coffins, that will hold up to four bodies. They are made the the
Hercules Corporation, which is R&D for Halliburton.
If you look at the maps of these camps
on google, for Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Virginia and
Maryland, you will find that there is one in Cleveland, OH; Lima,
OH;Columbus, OH;Cincinnati, OH; Louisville, KY; Manchester, KY;
Lexington, KY; Ashland, KY; Beckley, WV; Alderson, WV; Lewisburg, WV;
Mill Creek, WV; Kingwood, WV; Morgantown, WV; Ft. Detrick, MD; Ft.
Meade, MD; Ft. AP Hill, VA; Petersburg, VA; https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&gl=us&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=118135173934136151745.00045bc25ee928a8872d0
This is a list of Executive Orders that
have amassed slowly over the last 30 years. Just because they had
logical reasons for being enacted at the time, doesn't mean they
can't be used for more diabolical purposes now.
Executive Orders associated with FEMA
that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These
Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be
enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen:...
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990allows the
government to take over all modes of transportation and control of
highways and seaports.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 1099allows the
government to seize and control the communication media.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997allows the
government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels
and minerals.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998allows the
government to seize all means of transportation, including personal
cars, trucks or vehicles of any kind and total control over all
highways, seaports, and waterways.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10999allows the
government to take over all food resources and farms.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000allows the
government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government
supervision.EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001allows the government to take over
all health, education and welfare functions.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002designates the
Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003allows the
government to take over all airports and aircraft, including
commercial aircraft.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004allows the Housing
and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with
public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new
locations for populations.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005allows the
government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public
storage facilities.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051specifies the
responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives
authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of
increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310grants authority
to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in
Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish
judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate
penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the
President.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049assigns emergency
preparedness function to federal departments and agencies,
consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen
year period.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921allows the Federal
Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control
over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energy
sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S.
financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also
provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President,
Congress cannot review the action for six months. The Federal
Emergency Management Agency has broad powers in every aspect of the
nation. General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA's Civil Security
Division stated in a 1983 conference that he saw FEMA's role as a
"new frontier in the protection of individual and governmental
leaders from assassination, and of civil and military installations
from sabotage and/or attack, as well as prevention of dissident
groups from gaining access to U.S. opinion, or a global audience in
times of crisis." FEMA's powers were consolidated by President
Carter to incorporate the...
National Security Act of 1947allows for
the strategic relocation of industries, services, government and
other essential economic activities, and to rationalize the
requirements for manpower, resources and production facilities.
1950 Defense Production Actgives the
President sweeping powers over all aspects of the economy.
Act of August 29, 1916authorizes the
Secretary of the Army, in time of war, to take possession of any
transportation system for transporting troops, material, or any other
purpose related to the emergency.
International Emergency Economic Powers
Act
enables the President to seize the
property of a foreign country or national. These powers were
transferred to FEMA in a sweeping consolidation in 1979.
Let's just take one of them from the
middle of the list. Near, Columbus, OH is a small place called New
Rome. There was a WWII internment camp that held German prisoners of
war. But recently, razor wire has been installed. There are also new
buildings, and loading or unloading bays near railroad tracks. The
buildings appear to be some sort of brick barracks with lots of
fencing around them. Those loading docks are color code, red, orange,
and green. The people around New Rome think it is for overflow from a
nearby overcrowded prison in Orient, OH. And most ominously, there is
something there that visitors describe as appearing to be
crematoriums.
Interestingly, there have also been
people who went looking for the place and said they couldn't find it.
But on another website, I found an account that said there were
underground tunnels near Trabue Road, which is where the barracks
were supposed to be. I wonder if it is possible that when the
information got out, the place was cleared out, aside from the
tunnels. They were supposed to have something to do with Marble Cliff
Quarries in Marble Cliff, a suburb of Columbus. Interestingly,
Prescott Bush had a mansion there.

The Codex Alimentarius
The altruistic purpose of this
commission is in "protecting health of the consumers and
ensuring fair trade practices in the food trade, and promoting
coordination of all food standards work undertaken by international
governmental and non-governmental organizations".
It is run jointly by the Food and
Agricultural Organization and the World Health Organization. What
actually happens through them is that corporations make more money
off of food and control us through food. Obviously, if you control
the food, you control the people. The Us is the chair of Codex.
The Codex organization is working
toward regulating everything we eat and drink including water. They
will implement their regulations in every country that belongs to the
World Trade Organization. If these countries do not follow them, then
they will face trade sanctions.
Regulations as of December 2009:
* All nutrients (vitamins and minerals)
are to be considered toxins/poisons and are to be removed from all
food because Codex prohibits the use of nutrients to "prevent,
treat or cure any condition or disease"
* All food (including organic) is to be
irradiated, removing all toxic nutrients from food (unless eaten
locally and raw).
* Nutrients allowed will be limited to
a Positive List developed by Codex which will include such beneficial
nutrients like Fluoride (3.8 mg daily) developed from environmental
waste. All other nutrients will be prohibited nationally and
internationally to all Codex-compliant countries .
* All nutrients (e.g., CoQ10, Vitamins
A, B, C, D, Zinc and Magnesium) that have any positive health impact
on the body will be deemed illegal under Codex and are to be reduced
to amounts negligible to humans' health .
* You will not even be able to obtain
these anywhere in the world even with a prescription.
* All advice on nutrition (including
written online or journal articles or oral advice to a friend, family
member or anyone) will be illegal. This includes naturalnews.com
reports on vitamins and minerals and all nutritionist's
consultations.
* All dairy cows are to be treated with
Monsanto's recombinant bovine growth hormone.
* All animals used for food are to be
treated with potent antibiotics and exogenous growth hormones.
* The reintroduction of deadly and
carcinogenic organic pesticides that in 1991, 176 countries
(including the U.S.) have banned worldwide including 7 of the 12
worst at the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pesticides
(e.g., Hexachlorobenzene, Toxaphene, and Aldrin) will be allowed back
into food at elevated levels .
* Dangerous and toxic levels (0.5 ppb)
of aflotoxin in milk produced from moldy storage conditions of animal
feed will be allowed. Aflotoxin is the second most potent
(non-radiation) carcinogenic compound known to man.
* Mandatory use of growth hormones and
antibiotics on all food herds, fish and flocks
* Worldwide implementation of unlabeled
GMOs into crops, animals, fish and trees.
* Elevated levels of residue from
pesticides and insecticides that are toxic to humans and animals.
Some examples of potential permissible
safe levels of nutrients under Codex include :
* Niacin - upper limits of 34 mcg daily
(effective daily doses include 2000 to 3000 mcgs).
* Vitamin C - upper limits of 65 to 225
mcg daily (effective daily doses include 6000 to 10000 mcgs).
* Vitamin D - upper limits of 5 μg
daily (effective daily doses include 6000 to 10000 μg).
* Vitamin E - upper limits of 15 IU of
alpha tocopherol only per day, even though alpha tocopherol by itself
has been implicated in cell damage and is toxic to the body
(effective daily doses of mixed tocopherols include 10000 to 12000
IU).
In 1995, the Food and Drug
Administration changed their policy and it stated that international
standards, i.e. Codex, would supercede US laws, if US laws were
incomplete. This is essentially illegal to make some other governing
body superior to US law. But in 2004, the US passed the Central
American Free Trade Agreement, which required US regulations to meet
Codex standards by 2009.
Effectively, we cannot get rid of these
regulations as long as we belong to the WTO. It is believed that the
purpose of this, is to control population, through food, with the aid
of Big Pharma and the US government. The FAO and WHO estimate that
the vitamin regulation will reduce popularized by 3 million.
The more natural things we eat for
health or take for health, the more we cut into Big Pharma's profits.
IF proper science were being used,
biochemistry would be used to assess nutrients. Instead, Codex uses
Risk Assessment, which is a branch of toxicology. Because they want
us to view nutrients as toxins.
The Codex Alimentarius Vitamin and
Mineral Guideline, can ban high potency vitamins, by setting
standards for dosages or supplements added to food extremely low.
The DSHEA, Dietary Supplement Health
Education Act of 1994 classifed supplements as food. But Codex
supercedes that and calls supplements a drug or toxins, by referring
to levels of them as dosages.
So Codex violates a US law with an
international law.
I looked around to see what kind of
news stories I could find on Codex. I found one that says Argentina
joined the International Olive Oil Commission in order to prove that
their olive oil was authentic, even though it is different that the
oils from Mediterranean countries. The information was found in Codex
documents. Things like that are important because the prices of olive
oil are down right
now.http://www.oliveoiltimes.com/olive-oil-business/olive-oil-prices-lowest-since-2009/27024
Despite the fact that Codex has
regulations about putting things like GMO's on the market without
testing them, that is exactly what happened in the US. And Codex has
done nothing about it. So obviously, they are not really out for our
best interests, and someone else is calling the shots, like maybe
Monsanto.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dave-murphy/dan-quayle-and-michael-ta_b_1551732.html
Greenpeace did a study on the
vegetables in our grocery stores and found levels of toxins and
chemicals at seven times what Codex allows. Yet where is Codex when
they could be
useful?http://asiancorrespondent.com/82758/contaminated-veggies-switch-organic-produce/
I looked around for some of the more
recent videos on Codex alimentarius, so I could post them here.
In 2009, in the mother of all conflicts
of interest, Obama appointed Michael Taylor as a senior advisor for
the FDA. He had previously served as vice president at Monsanto.
Among other things that they do, Monsanto in a leader in GMO,
genetically modified foods. He was also the food Czar at the FDA when
GMO's were first allowed onto the market, without any testing at all
to determine their safety.
Monsanto markets genetically modified
corn that is insect resistant. In Europe, six countries from the EU
refuse to allow it to be grown in their countries. The EU has been
highly resistant towards any GMO's. Corn or corn products are in
everything. The Monsanto corn has pesticide in the seeds, and now
there are indications that bugs are becoming resistant to the
pesticides, so why keep them in there if they don't work or are
starting to fail? It is estimated that before they started making
this modified corn, it cost farmers about $1 million a year in
damaged crops and pesticide costs.
Monsanto's corn is engineered to
produce the Cry3Bb1 protein from Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt, a
natural insecticide. There is also SmartStax corn that has an
additional chemical from Dow Chemical and Dupont. SmartStax corn has
eight different genetically modified traits in it. Prior to it's
development, the most any other product had was three. The corn
produces six insecticide toxins and is tolerant to 2 herbicides.
Monsanto also makes seeds for corn,
soybeans and cotton, that have Round Up in them. But weeds are
becoming resistant to that also.http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-06-15/monsanto-corn-injured-by-early-rootworm-feeding-in-illinois
One of their newer products is GMO
drought resistant corn. They developed it in partnership with BASF.
It was approved earlier this year. The USDA said, "corn and
progeny derived from it are unlikely to pose plant pest risks and is
no longer to be considered regulated article under APHIS’
Biotechnology Regulations." and "would have no significant
impacts, individually or collectively, on the quality of the human
environment and will have no effect on federally listed threatened or
endangered species, species proposed for listing, or their designated
or proposed critical habitats."
The Cornucopia Institute reported that
the USDA received almost 45,000 public comments opposed to MON 87460,
with only 23 comments in favor. Apparently, this had little or no
impact on Obama or Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack.
Now they are wanting to sell corn that
is resistant to 2, 4-D, which was the primary ingredient in Agent
Orange. If that doesn't sit well with you, the USDA is taking public
comments on it, but whether or not your comment will matter is
unlikely, given that they didn't listen to people opposed to MON
87460.
When I was growing up, my Grandmother
told me how they had a cow that was solely to provide my Dad milk.
This would be unpasteurized and unprocessed milk. But the FDA is
conducting armed raids on farmers who produce and sell unpasteurized
milk. Michael Taylor is responsible for these
raids.http://www.change.org/petitions/president-obama-dump-former-monsanto-lobbyist-as-fda-food-safety-czarhttp://www.change.org/petitions/president-obama-dump-former-monsanto-lobbyist-as-fda-food-safety-czar
Taylor's job at the FDA has been on
again off again, because part of the time he works for companies like
Monsanto. In1994, he wrote the labeling guidelines for dairy products
that have the hormone rBGH in them. So that these products wouldn't
be stigmatized, he forced companies that make products without rBGH
state on their labels that rGBH wasn't any different than the
naturally occurring hormone, so people would think that their product
wasn't any better because it didn't contain it.
Before he was able to do this, as a
lawyer for Monsanto, he advised them on whether or not it would be
legal for states to institute such labeling regulations, and whether
or not Monsanto would be able to sue
other companies for telling people that
their products were rGBH free. So while in the private sector, he
worked out the legalities, and through his public position he worked
out the logistics and implemented the program.
Taylor is not the only person who goes
in and out the revolving doors between Monsanto, the FDA, and the
EPAhttp://www.rense.com/general33/fd.htmhttp://www.rense.com/general33/fd.htm
Both of my children had trouble
tolerating infant formula, so they had to be switched to soy formula.
Now soybeans are GMO's and soy allergies went up by 50% when GMO soy
products were introduced to the UK. So, if your child is lactose
intolerant, or allergic to dairy, and they are allergic to soy, what
are you to do, especially if breast feeding wasn't an option. In my
case I was on massive doses of antibiotics for a year after my son
was born, and the medicine would have passed into breast milk.
One of the types of genetic
modifications in food, is antibiotics. We hear all sorts of
statements that germs are antibiotic resistant due to doctors over
prescribing antibiotics. But is more likely, that the antibiotics in
our food cause it. For one thing if those genes transfer to bacteria
in your digestive tract, then it would modify the bacteria and make
it resistant. Now with the idea that gene transfer is possible, what
happens if GMO pesticides in corn transfer within our digestive
tract, we would be turning the bacteria inside us into pesticide
factories. No tests have been done to see if these GMO genes do
transfer, but it is scientifically possible. The American Academy of
Environment Sciences doesn't think GMO's are safe. “Several animal
studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food,”
including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty
insulin regulation, and changes in major organs and the
gastrointestinal system. The AAEM asked physicians to advise patients
to avoid GM foods."
It sounds to me like a good way to
lower the population, to make people infertile, vulnerable to disease
because of damaged immune systems, increase their risk of diabetes,
cause organ damage, and cause them to die early.
At least sugar, fat and salt in food
makes it taste better, the GMO's usually don't unless you count the
new ones that are specifically made for that out of fetal cells. If
someone handed you two boxes, one that contained an all natural
herbicide and one that contained an all natural pesticide, would you
eat them?

One of the most telling things I found
out about Monsanto GMO's was that they had been busted on the fact
that they don't serve them to their employees in their cafeterias.
Bill Gates follows the same practice. And so do the
Rockefellershttp://templestream.xanga.com/759470927/gates-and-rockefeller-cafeterias-reject-monsanto-ge-foods/
This brings us around to David
Rockefeller, and good old Bill and Melinda Gates again. In February
2012, he was at a press conference hyping up his digital revolution
of the food supply in Rome. The reporters asked him about GMO's and
he replied,"You should go out and talk to people growing rice
and say do they mind that it was created in a laboratory when their
child has enough to eat?” I suppose right at the moment they were
filling their children's bellies, they might not mind, but if you
gave them a choice between GMO's and organic food, they wouldn't opt
for the GMO's. Their cafeterias are organic too.
AGRA or the Alliance for A Green
Revolution in Africa, is jointly funded by the Rockefeller and Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundations. Thanks to them, cassava, which is a
staple food in Africa, is now GMO cassava. Monsanto also introduced
GMO corn into Africa through the WEMA or Water Efficient Maize for
Africa program. The Bill Gates Foundation and Warren Buffet both
supported it. Rockefeller University's website says it only serves
rGBH free milk, cage free eggs and organic food. The Gates Foundation
owns stock in
Monsantohttp://templestream.xanga.com/759470927/gates-and-rockefeller-cafeterias-reject-monsanto-ge-foods/
They are all members of the so called
Doomsday Seed Vault in the Arctic. This is a stash of unmodified
seeds, ostensibly just in case of some environment catastrophe. But
the reality is that they don't want seeds to be sold or grown that
they don't have the patents on.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/PrintArticle.php?articleId=10300
In India, it is being reported that
there is an epidemic of suicide among farmers. These farmers are told
that they will become rich if they switch to growing GMO crops. But
when droughts and other things cause their crops to fail, they are
deeply in dept because they have to borrow money to buy these seeds
from Monsanto. Their government has encouraged these farmers to opt
into GMO crops, because in return for doing so, India received
International Money Fund loans back in the eighties and nineties.
These loans helped the economy of the cities at the expense of lives.
They were told that they wouldn't have
to use pesticides, but instead, their cotton crops were ravaged by
boll worms. They were not told that these crops require more water,
and then they were hit with droughts.
All through history, farmers have saved
seeds to replant next year, but with GMO seeds, they don't produce
seeds that can be planted. So, the farmers have to buy new seeds
every year. As a result of the plight of these poor Indian farmers,
Prince Charles is setting up the Bhumi Vardaan Foundation. It will
promote organic crops.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1082559/The-GM-genocide-Thousands-Indian-farmers-committing-suicide-using-genetically-modified-crops.html
In the US, Monsanto even made sure that
farmers who tried to grow crops that would allow them to save seeds
for the next year would be penalized for doing so. In 2011, they won
a court case that was begun back in 2007 against an Indiana farmer
named, Vernon Bowman. They said he infringed on their patent by
saving seeds that had some of the Monsanto seeds mixed in with them
for replanting. Bowman said he bought the seeds in part of some mixed
commodity seeds. Commodity seeds are not required to differentiate
between GMO and non GMO seeds.
The court ruled that Monsanto's
agreement with farmers prohibits them from selling the progeny of
Round Up Ready seeds, that it didn't prohibit the sale of second
generation seeds. But farmers are not allowed to plant those same
seeds in the ground in order to grow more seeds to sell.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/21/us-monsanto-lawsuit-idUSTRE78K79O20110921
Monsanto has been tracking down farmers
all over the Midwest and suing them for saving seeds. They have a
toll free hotline where people can make anonymous tips about farmers
who are cleaning and saving seeds. The farmers have to sign a
contract that says they won't do that, but instead buy new seeds
every year from Monsanto. These contracts say how much GMO Round Up
Ready acres they plant. Monsanto also runs television and radio adds
to encourage people to turn in their neighbors. When they get a tip,
they send out detectives to go through the farmers records and over
their farms looking for evidence. They look to see how much seed they
bought and how much they sold. Monsanto sues the farmers that if
feels it can prove have saved seeds. They say the money they will
goes to American Farm Bureau for scholarships.
Monsanto says that they are just trying
to protect the millions of dollars that they have invested in the
research and development of their products. But the National Family
Farm Coalition filed a suit, that claims that they are just trying to
monopolize the sale of seeds, and that they fix prices so that they
can create and maintain this monopoly.
Some of the court cases have claimed
that after the second generation of seeds, the patent exhausts
itself. Others have claimed that Monsanto cannot patent plants, which
self replicate in the first place; saying that patent law was
established for machines and things that someone invented.
In 1970, Congress enacted the Plant
Variety Protection Act. Under that act, farmers could save seeds. But
a Supreme Court case said that companies like Monsanto could patent
GMO'shttp://www.organicconsumers.org/Monsanto/farmerssued.cfm
Monsanto is following the lead of Big
Pharma with regard to patents. It's patent on the Round Up Ready soy
beans is due to run out in 2014. Under normal circumstances, that
would allow competition from other companies. But rather than allow
that to happen, they have already come up with Round Up Ready 2 and
are forcing it on the market, so that the Round Up Ready 1 seed will
be obsolete, and they will maintain their monopoly. This is the
tactic that pharmaceutical companies use. They will modify an
existing medicine slightly, give it a new name and extend their time
before the patent runs out. This makes the consumer have to wait
years before there is an affordable generic available.
Farmers would like to be able to start
saving their seeds when the patent runs out, but it will be difficult
to find seeds that only contain Round Up Ready 1, so that they won't
violate the patent. Cross pollination is a very real possibility,
because even Monsanto can't control the wind, or contamination that
occurs via animals. In a bit of false magnanimity, Monsanto says it
won't try to keep farmers from saving seed. But they know how hard it
will be to find only Round Up Ready 1 seeds, which is why, Monsanto
is trying to get the new Round Up Ready on the market now. They also
didn't start saying that until the Justice Department started
investigating them for antitrust law violation. It has been reported
that they were not going to re-license companies to use the RoundUp
Ready 1 gene, which will force them to buy the Round Up Ready 2 gene.
But with the Justice Department looking at them, they backed down on
that, but only in the U.S.
There are farmers who need to be able
to establish that their crops are organic, because they sell to
companies like Whole Food Market. And they are suing Monsanto,
because their GMO's are contaminating their crops, and they say, that
Monsanto can then claim their crops are GMO's. So, far they have been
unsuccessful, because they have been unable to prove in court that
Monsanto threatened them. But if they had gone about it, just by
saying that Monsanto had contaminated their crops they might have
won. Either way, it is highly doubtful that Monsanto ever intended
for their product not to cross pollinate with non GMO fields. And
that is significant when you realize that it is not just soy beans,
but corn and cotton that they are monopolizing.
Other countries require GMO patents to
be renewed periodically, and Monsanto intends to maintain those
licenses until 2017. American farmers would not be allowed to sell
seeds to those countries, which would probably cause them not to want
to grow crops that they can't export.
In 2005, the Brazilian government made
GMO soybeans legal. But they did this because it was shown that about
75% of the crops were grown from Round Up Ready seeds, made by
Monsanto. Round Up ready crops have been modified so that it can be
sprayed on them without hurting the plants.
Since the crops were now legal,
Monsanto started charging the farmers 2% of the sales of the soy
beans. The amount of farmers growing these GMO soybeans was now up to
85%. And they test all of the crops to make sure who is growing them.
If the farmer claims that his crops are not the Round Up Ready soy
beans, and they prove that they are, he has to pay 3% of his profits.
Monsanto says that the farmers are
getting the Round Up Ready seeds illegally. The Brazilian Association
of Seeds and Seedlings, says they are not. In April, the Brazilian
courts said that they were charging this 2-3 percent illegally, and
ordered them to pay it back. Right now, it is in
appealhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/18/monsanto-brazil-soybean-farmers_n_1606267.html
Monsanto does not want us using
bio-fuels like hemp and sugarcane. Hemp doesn't require insecticides,
or phosphate fertilizer. So that would cut down on their profits.
Instead, they prefer that we grow their corn, which requires their
pesticide.
Whether or not you believe in legalized
marijuana/hemp. The reason it is not already legal, may not have
anything to do with drug usage. It is estimated that 1 acre of hemp
could yield more paper than 2-4 acres of trees. Even though we are
living in the digital age, we still need paper, and the demand for it
will continue to grow. If we don't find another source for it, we
will have massive deforestation. This in turn will have environment
results, which ultimately will cause declines in population.
Even cars can and have been made from
hemp based plastic. Ford made one in 1941. This hemp plastic is
supposed to be 10 times stronger than steel. Only half of the oil we
import is for fuel. The other half is for plastic manufacturing. It
is ironic that organizations like PETA want us to use pleather,
without realizing that by using something that is a petroleum
product, we injure far more animals than those who might lose their
fur on a farm. And what about the children who starve or get cancer.
But save the animals?
Viscoloid Corporation was established
in 1900 to make celluloid which was basically plastic. About 25 years
later Dupont bought it. Another company that made celluloid was
Fiberloid, which was bought out by Monsanto. I.F. Farben's
Hoechst-Celanese, also makes plastic. And everyone know that plastic
is related to petroleum and therefore the Rockefellers. Round Up is
made with Rockefeller fossil fuels, as evidenced by it's chemical
name, glyphosate.
I am not sure if I mentioned this
before, but Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas used to be a
lawyer for Monsanto in the 1970's. He wrote the majority opinion that
Monsanto's GMO's were patentable under U.S. patent law.
Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone or
rBGH is the Monsanto growth hormone that causes cows to produce more
milk. It was approved by the FDA in 1993. The EU, and Canada, as well
as other countries have banned it's use. The American Cancer Society
says that it is not the rGBH that we should be concerned with but
IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor, which is linked to all sorts of
cancer. They say it is also in soy milk. This brings up an
interesting point, is IGF-1 in Monsantos soy products? It would seem
so. IGF-1 is not destroyed by pasteurization.
The FDA prohibits dairies from claiming
that milk with rGBH is different than any other milk. Because rGBH
injected cows get more mastitis, they have to be given antibiotics.
Monsanto was accused of trying to bribe scientists in order to get
rBGH milk approved in Canada.
http://www.ethicalinvesting.com/monsanto/news/10009.htm Kroger and
Walmart have chosen not to sell store brands of milk with rGBH in it.

The History and Practice of Eugenics
So
what kind of things are going on now during President Obama's
administration?
Dr.
Ezekiel Emanuel was the chair of the Department of Bioethics at the
US Institutes of Health. Bioethics is basically euthanasia education.
Now he is working for President Barach Obama and is seen as being
responsible for the "death council" that has made the list
of medical practices that will deny care to the elderly, chronically
ill, and poor. Ezekiel's brother is Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm
Emanuel.
In
1953, The American Eugenics Society joined Rockefeller funded
Population Council. Daniel Callahan was given a grant from the
Rockefeller Foundation in 1668-1969 to found the Hastings Center in
Garrison, NY. The Hastings Center is a bioethics center, Theodore
Dobzhansky, geneticist and evolutionary biologists, was a founding
director of the Hastings Center and was also chairman of the American
Eugenics Society. And Daniel Callahan was a director of the Eugenics
Society. Ezekiel Emanuel is a Hastings Center fellow, and so is his
wife Linda Emanuel. Ezekiel Emanuel's deputy director of the Federal
Department of Bioethics, Christine Grady, is also a Hastings fellow
and director of the Hastings Center.
Dr.
Emanuel wrote a book in 2008 called Healthcare, Guaranteed. In he he
advocated a National Health Board to oversee and cut healthcare and
to approve all payments and procedures. "To reduce political
interference and allow the necessary tough choices to be made. But he
believes this board should not have any pressure from elected
officials, Congress or the President, and that they should be funded
independently from Congressional appropriations. Basically, this
board would be autonomous and would not have to answer even to
Congress and they would be getting their money from rich backers and
we the voters would be at their mercy.
Senator
Tom Daschle was at one time the pick to be basically a health czar
for Obama. He too, wrote a book in 2008, called Critical: What We Can
Do About the Healthcare crisis. He feels that anyone who signs up for
Medicare should have to sign a document that says to what degree they
consent to be killed in an end of life situation.
You
can read some of the papers written by him here:
http://www.ncpa.org/pdfs/PIIS0140673609601379.pdfhttp://www.ncpa.org/pdfs/PIIS0140673609601379.pdf
http://www.ncpa.org/pdfs/Where_Civic_Republicanism_and_Deliberative_Democracy_Meet.pdfhttp://www.ncpa.org/pdfs/Where_Civic_Republicanism_and_Deliberative_Democracy_Meet.pdf
He
advocates prioritizing adolescents and young adults as far as
healthcare goes, at the expense of the very young and the very old.
He says that adolescents have had a lot of education and parental
care invested in them whereas infants haven't got much invested in
them yet. So adolescents if not saved would be a waste of that
investment. He is talking about a hypothetical healthcare emergency,
but the problem is, it's not so hypothetical. We could easily find
ourselves in some sort of pandemic, and what he is saying is that
people between the ages of 15 and 40 would get medical treatment
before anyone else. While he says this shouldn't be based on their
economic background, it would quickly degenerate to just that.
Because he also says that "instrumental value" could also
be used as criteria for deciding who gets an organ or a vaccine. This
means someone is going to be deciding how useful you are to society.
In
the second paper, he says that people who have dementia or children
with learning disabilities, should not have basic healthcare
guaranteed to them, because they are irreversibly prevented from
becoming participating citizens. But healthcare should be guarantee
healthy future generations, ensure development of practical reasoning
skills, and ensure full and active participation of citizens in
public deliberation. Again, the more valuable you are deemed to be to
society, the more likely you will be to get medical care, so that you
continue to be valuable to society.
President
Obama also has a man named John Holdren working for him. He is
referred to as his Science Czar, because he is his senior advisor on
science and technology, because he is Assistant to the President for
Science and Technology, and Director of White House Office of Science
and Technology Policy, and he co-chairs the President's Council of
Advisors on Science and Technology.
Before
going to work for the Obama administration, he was director of
Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program at Harvard
University's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, and
Teresa and John Heinz Professor of Environmental Policy at Harvard as
well. He also served as Director of the Woods Hole Research Center.
His
was trained in aeronautics, astronautics and plasma physics. He
focused his energies on environmental change, and energy technologies
and policies, how to reduce dangers from nuclear weapons, and science
and technology policy. So his whole life has been dedicated to
changing our national policies with regard to science. He also served
on President Bill Clinton's President's Council of Advisors on
Science and Technology.
He
testified before Congress during his confirmation hearing that he
doesn't believe that the .government should have a role in population
control and that he never supported forces sterilization.
But
he has written, " if the population control measures are not
initiated immediately, and effectively, all the technology man can
bring to bear will not fend off the misery to come." He believes
that we should lower our population increase below replacement
because, "210 million now is too many and 280 million in 2040 is
likely to be much too many." He co-authored a textbook titled,
Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment, with Paul R. Ehrlich,
and Anne H. Ehrlich. In this book they cover family planning,
enforced population control, forced sterilization after a
predesignated number of children, birth control and abortion. They
call these things possible options that could be implemented. They
suggest the idea of putting drugs into the drinking water to cause
sterilization. They feel that teen and single mothers should have
their children taken from them and given away to others to raise.
Rather than calling people degenerate or unfit, they refer to them as
people who, "contribute to social deterioration" and say
that they "can be required by law to exercise reproductive
responsibility."And he is in support of a One World Government.
He called for a "Planetary Regime" that would take control
of the economy of the world and government in general, and the method
of doing this would be an international police force.
After
his and the Ehrlich's book laid the groundwork by saying that it is a
fact that we are overpopulated, on pg. 837 of Ecoscience, it says
this: "Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory
population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory
abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the
population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the
society." By using phrases like "it has been concluded"
he avoids taking responsibility for making the conclusion, probably
so that he would meet with less criticism and was therefore able to
testify in Congress that he had not supported forced sterilization.
Page
786 is the source that says children should be taken away from single
mothers. "one way to carry out this disapproval might be to
insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for
adoption--especially those born to minors, who generally are not
capable of caring properly for a child alone. If a single mother
really wished to keep her baby, she might be obliged to go through
adoption proceedings and demonstrate her ability to support and care
for it. Adoption proceedings probably should remain more difficult
for single people than for married couples, in recognition of the
relative difficulty of raising children alone. It would even be
possible to require pregnant single women to marry or have abortions,
perhaps as an alternative to placement for adoption, depending on the
society."
Now
given that it has basically been the agenda of the elite for the last
100 years or better to undermine the traditional family, by
encouraging a relaxation of morals that resulted in more children
being born to single mothers, and through women's liberation,
encouraging women to think that fathers are not necessary, and they
are now condemning women for having children out of wedlock, they are
basically showing the ultimate aim; to make as many children as
possible wards of the state. This would result in easily
indoctrinated and trained drone type citizens for the future world
they are working diligently towards. While doing away with the legal
bonds between mother and child or father and child or man and woman,
they have forgotten to factor in the emotional bonds that were
provided by nature. Children are irrevocably changed by being
wrenched from their mothers' arms, and the mothers themselves are
devastated, often in a way that they never recover from. But they
want us to be robotic machines, so they convince themselves that we
already are beneath feeling human emotion, in order to absolve
themselves of any responsibility toward human decency and kindness.
By
proposing enforced abortions, he is effectively going to the opposite
extreme from anti abortion. Because he is taking away choice, just
for a different reason. And his reason has nothing to do with any
consideration for the sanctity of life. There is anti abortion at one
extreme, pro choice in the middle and enforced abortion at the
opposite end of the spectrum. Both extremes take away choice. Anti
abortion supporters want to protect the rights of the unborn child.
Those for enforced abortion take away both the rights of the child
and the rights of the mother by forcing a medical procedure upon her.
Even if a woman supported abortion, it would be horribly traumatic to
be forced to undergo one. And no surgery is without the risk of
complication and death.
He
discusses involuntary fertility control on page 786-7, "A
program of sterilizing women after their second or third child,
despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than
vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men.
The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be
implanted under the skin and remove when pregnancy is desired opens
additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule
could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official
permission, for a limited number of births."
When
this book was written, in 1977, we didn't have those implants, but we
do now, in the form of Norplant; and when they first came on the
market, the first women they were marketed to were young teen black
women. Baltimore was the first city to begin offering Norplant in
their high schools in 1993. And it was implemented without adequate
testing.
http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1993-08-27/news/1993239014_1_norplant-clinic-public-schoolRight after it came on the market in 1991, judges and legislators
started trying to mandate its use. Some states began telling women
that were convicted of child abuse or drug use during pregnancy, that
they either got the implant or went to jail. Some of the bills that
were introduced in some states offered financial incentive to women
to get them to have the implants inserted. What that means is that if
they wanted to receive public assistants, which they might need for
the survival of their family, they would have to get the implant. The
ACLU holds that forcing women to get these implants violates a basic
constitutional right to reproductive autonomy and bodily integrity by
interfering with the decision of whether or when to bear children and
by forcing a medical procedure upon them, because they are not in a
position to reject it.
The
ACLU says that these policies are based on the notion that low income
women have children indiscriminately. But according to their figures,
in 1990 just before Norplant came on the market, low income families
had 1.9 children, which was no larger a family than those who were
better off financially. They also bring up the point, that Norplant
would stop a woman from conceiving, but not stop her from using drugs
or abusing her children, so really does not address the problem. I am
of the opinion that what they state the problem is, is just their
public spin on their real aim, which is finding legal excuses to
sterilize women. The ACLU also says these laws discriminate against
women, because men are not punished for drug abuse or child abuse by
being forced to have vasectomies. They also say straight out that the
fact that low income women and especially women of color are targeted
by this type of sentencing, is overt racism and eugenics.
(http://www.aclu.org/reproductive-freedom/norplant-new-contraceptive-potential-abusehttp://www.aclu.org/reproductive-freedom/norplant-new-contraceptive-potential-abuse
On
page 787-8, he discusses adding drugs to the water supply to
sterilize people. "Adding a sterilant to drinking water or
staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than
most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed this would
pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to
say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists
today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable,
such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements:
it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received
by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and
sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or
unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the
opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock." There
is no mention of whether or not it poses any moral questions. And
animals seem to be more important than humans.
Page
838 of Holdren's book says that people who cause social
deterioration, should be sterilized. "If some individuals
contribute to general social deterioration by overproducing children,
and if the need is compelling, they can be required by law to
exercise reproductive responsibility- just as they can be required to
exercise responsibility in their resource consumption patterns-
providing they are not denied equal protection."
If
you could understand his argument on the basis of degeneracy, you
still can't possibly agree that having more children than some would
like makes you a degenerate. He is reverting back to the eugenics
term "degeneracy" but he is broadening the definition to
include someone who chooses to have a large family as degenerate.
Implying that people wouldn't be denied equal protection under the
law is meant to show that he wouldn't be racist in determining who
had to be sterilized. That just means that they wouldn't just be
limited to race in their ability to determine who has to be
sterilized. They just need to show that you are degenerate, which
would be relative to the person making the determination. They need
to make that distinction about "equal protection under the law"
because there has already been a Supreme Court case, Skinner vs.
Oklahoma, that determined that the Equal Protection Clause of the
14th Amendment prohibited state sanctioned sterilization being
applied unequally to certain types of people. It's hard to do away
with a Supreme Court decision, it is easier to maneuver around one by
giving the appearance that you are not being racist in your
decisions.
On
page 838, he suggests that if the law can tell you how many spouses
to have it should be able to tell you how many children to have. "In
today's world, however, the number of children in a family is a
matter of profound public concern. The law regulates other highly
personal matters. For example, no one may lawfully have more than one
spouse at a time. Why should the law not be able to prevent a person
from having more than two children?"
You
might wonder if he has trouble understanding the constitution or
something. But the fact is, he would like to do away with the
government we have and establish a One World Government. He thinks
the UN should be able to make the decisions on population and on how
all the world's resources are used. This effectively does away with
US sovereignty, and makes constitutionality a mute point."Perhaps
those agencies, combined with UNEP and the United Nations population
agencies, might eventually be developed into a Planetary Regime—sort
of an international super-agency for population, resources, and
environment. Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the
development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all
natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable, at least insofar as
international implications exist. Thus the Regime could have the
power to control pollution not only in the atmosphere and oceans, but
also in such freshwater bodies as rivers and lakes that cross
international boundaries or that discharge into the oceans. The
Regime might also be a logical central agency for regulating all
international trade, perhaps including assistance from DCs to LDCs,
and including all food on the international market.
The
Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the
optimum population for the world and for each region and for
arbitrating various countries' shares within their regional limits.
Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each
government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the
agreed limits."(page 942-3) Food, commerce on the oceans,
because they are a source of resources, and all of the economy that
is based on our resources, would then be under the control of the
"Regime."
In
case he wasn't clear enough there that he wants to do away with our
sovereignty, on page 917, he says it straight out. "If this
could be accomplished, security might be provided by an armed
international organization, a global analogue of a police force. Many
people have recognized this as a goal, but the way to reach it
remains obscure in a world where factionalism seems, if anything, to
be increasing. The first step necessarily involves partial surrender
of sovereignty to an international organization."
When
the book was published in 1977, he said we had to stop overpopulation
by the year 2000. It must get his gall to know that he didn't quite
meet his goal. And it probably makes him even more fanatical in his
desperation to see his plans implemented. "Humanity cannot
afford to muddle through the rest of the twentieth century; the risks
are too great, and the stakes are too high. This may be the last
opportunity to choose our own and our descendants' destiny. Failing
to choose or making the wrong choices may lead to catastrophe. But it
must never be forgotten that the right choices could lead to a much
better world." (page 944)
You
can look up the book yourself. I have given citations. If you think
that John Holdren didn't himself say the things in the book, ask
yourself, if he doesn't agree with the ideas within the book, then
why did he allow his name to be put on the book? Why are the
acknowledgments in the book to people at Berkeley, where he worked
and to his wife? Ecoscience is not the only book he has written
though. He has written other on his own. You can go to Google books
and look them up. The Obama administration tried to do a spin on
him, by issuing a press statement to the Washington Times, that said
that the book was "a three-decade-old, three-author college
textbook. Dr. Holdren addressed this issue during his confirmation
when he said he does not believe that determining optimal population
is a proper role of government. Dr. Holdren is not and never has been
an advocate for policies of forced sterilization." I won't cut
him any slack for the book being old, if he felt these things
strongly enough to make sure they were being taught in a text book,
and he has changed his mind, he should feel strongly enough about his
supposed new opinion to see that it is taught from text books. And he
should hold himself highly responsible for any student who was
influenced by his older opinion.
His
co-author Ehrlich said that the book was an encyclopedia and that
these things were descriptions and not necessarily endorsements of
the things that were defined in the book.
Which
thing do you give more weight to, an opinion that they felt strongly
enough to put in print and leave in print so that people could be
taught from, or Holdren's reply when asked whether he believed the
government should determine optimal population, "No, Senator,I
do not." Has he written a book titled, No Senator I Do Not? If
he thinks his earlier opinion was wrong, he should correct that
wrong, and it should have taken precedence over a job on the Obama
Administration.
Their
more recent statements make as much sense as a child pornographer
putting out a movie that depicts deviant behavior and then saying
they don't endorse the behavior, but just thought people ought to be
aware that it was an option.
Another
point to be made is this, if John Holdren is not eugenicist in
philosophy, then why does he consider Harrison Brown to be more or
less his hero? H has said that Harrison Brown's book, The Challenge
of Man's Future changed his personal philosophy and was the impetus
for him making a career in science and population policy. Harrison
Brown was a eugenicist. In 1986, John Holdren edited and co-wrote a
book about Harrison Brown titled, Earth and the Human Future"
Essays in Honor of Harrison Brown. I would think that if he worked on
a book to honor Brown, then he must honor him.
Interestingly, his comments in the book
on Brown, prove my point. "Harrison Brown’s most remarkable
book, The Challenge of Man’s Future, was published more than three
decades ago. By the time I read it as a high school student a few
years later, the book had been widely acclaimed. … The Challenge of
Man’s Future pulled these interests together for me in a way that
transformed my thinking about the world and about the sort of career
I wanted to pursue. I have always suspected that I am not the only
member of my generation whose aspirations and subsequent career were
changed by this book of Harrison Brown’s. … As a demonstration of
the power of (and necessity for) an interdisciplinary approach to
global problems, the book was a tour de force. … Thirty years after
Harrison Brown elaborated these positions, it remains difficult to
improve on them as a coherent depiction of the perils and challenges
we face. Brown’s accomplishment in writing The Challenge of Man’s
Future, of course, was not simply the construction of this sweeping
schema for understanding the human predicament; more remarkable was
(and is) the combination of logic, thoroughness, clarity, and force
with which he marshalled data and argumentation on every element of
the problem and on their interconnections. It is a book, in short,
that should have reshaped permanently the perceptions of all serious
analysts."
He straight out says, that reading a
book transformed his thinking and that he believed that the book
changed the aspirations and career choices of not just him, but many
others of his generation. Now he can't claim that his book might not
have had the very same effect of people who read it. And so, he is
responsible for it. The book by Harrison Brown that Holdren praises
so highly calls for the sterilization and birth control of the
degenerate and feeble-minded.
" The feeble-minded, the morons,
the dull and backward, and the lower-than-average persons in our
society are out-breeding the superior ones at the present time. …
Is there anything that can be done to prevent the long-range
degeneration of human stock? Unfortunately, at the present time there
is little, other than to prevent breeding in persons who present
glaring deficiencies clearly dangerous to society and which are known
to be of a hereditary nature. Thus we could sterilize or in other
ways discourage the mating of the feeble-minded. We could go further
and systematically attempt to prune from society, by prohibiting them
from breeding, persons suffering from serious inheritable forms of
physical defects, such as congenital deafness, dumbness, blindness,
or absence of limbs. … A broad eugenics program would have to be
formulated which would aid in the establishment of policies that
would encourage able and healthy persons to have several offspring
and discourage the unfit from breeding at excessive rates."
His co-author Ehrlich said that people
should read some of their other books if they wanted to know what
they believe in. I guess he was right. This book sure seems to make
it clear.
The most bizarre thing about this whole
issue of eugenics and Obama care is that people always thinks that if
they support the government it will never turn on them. The
Emmanuels, Rahm and Ezekiel are Israeli born Jews. And I read
somewhere, that they have a sister born with cerebral palsy. How does
a Jew support eugenics? They think it will be the other guy that is
sterilized, that's how. There were Jewish scientists that worked for
the Nazis too.
As a society, we have to make some
decisions. They have been claiming for 150 years that the world was
on the brink of a disaster because of overpopulation, and that the
more valuable elements of human society were going to be extinct
because they were being out bred by those deemed degenerate. So far,
we haven't had this predicted catastrophe. So the first decision we
have to make is whether or not they are right that the world as a
whole, really is overpopulated.
If,
and that is a big if, you believe it is, then the next thing we have
to decide is whether or not we want people in positions of power who
believe that the only thing that can stop overpopulation is the use
of totalitarian government force.
Or
you can decide to go for social reform and education policies. These
would be designed to get people to voluntarily comply with birth
control measures. In 3rd world countries where population is said to
be leveling off, it is believed that better standards of living and
better education are responsible. But there is a hidden danger here;
education and social reform have been the method consistently used to
push the very same communist/socialist agenda that was implemented by
force in China, the Soviet Union and other places. Just the very
suggestion that social reform and education needs to be used, smacks
of people saying, "get them to decide to do it for themselves,
because it is easier than pointing a gun at them, for all concerned."
It indicates that we are being brain washed to believe that
overpopulation exists, when it really doesn't.
So
is there any evidence that that is true? How about the fact that
China, which was supposedly so severely overpopulated, now has
another type of crisis on it's hands. They are expected to have as
many as 24 million men than women between now and 2020. The Pulitzer
Center reports that it will lead to a population of life-long
bachelors the size of Texas by 2020. Again governments and scientist
forgot to factor in the human element. Even though it is against the
law for Chinese couples to do genetic testing to see if the child is
male or female, it is still routinely done in rural clinics. Some
rural villages are so disproportionately male that they are called
"bachelor villages." This results in other social problems,
like women being sold by their families in poor regions. Because
women are scarce, they have become a commodity. It has been predicted
that a marriage economy could develop due to the trend of families
building up large savings in order to attract women to marry their
sons. And lower class families could seek upper class husbands so
they could raise the status of the family. And some people predict
that sexually frustrated men in such large numbers could lead to
social unrest.

If
the ACLU feels, as I do that forced abortions and sterilization in a
violation of constitutional rights, which are equivalent to human
rights, in the US, then they are a violation in China. The system in
China is so oppressive that one women takes her life every three
seconds there.
Last
month, May 16, 2012, CNS News reported a story about Chinese human
rights activist, Chai Ling testified during a House Foreign Affairs
Subcommitteeon Chen Guangcheng, the blind Chinese activist, who fled
to the US Embassy iin Beijing. He was imprisoned by China because he
was fighting for human rights for women.
Chai
Ling told the story of a woman named Deng Lourong. She was the second
of 3 girls. Her parents wanted a boy bad enough that they violated
the one-child policy. Chinese officials tore down their home and took
all their belongings.
The
mother and father both fled, and left the three girls with their
grandmother. The grandmother was subsequently imprisoned. The girls
had no one to be their guardian, and Lourong was raped at the age of
12. Because this happened, her grandmother was released to take care
of them but died soon afterward. The man who raped Deng Lourong one
served five days for it.
Deng
Lourong was sold as a child bride three years later, and her sisters
were sold by traffickers and no one can find them. The man who Deng
Lourong had to marry, prostitutes her out to bachelors, and as a
result she is mentally ill.

Even
if you believe we are overpopulated, should we do things that result
in even greater harm to mankind? I think not. The ends never
justifies the means.
In 2009 Ruth Bader Ginsburg made the
comment that, "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was
decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly
growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So
that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for
abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into
having abortions when they didn’t really want them. But when the
court decided McRae, the case came out the other way. And then I
realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong.
That sounds rather elitist, but she
then went on to say, "The basic thing is that the government has
no business making that choice for a woman." That sounds like
she believes women should make the choice, but do the two comments
taken together mean she thinks that poor women or whatever she was
referring to as "populations we don't want goo many of"
should be encouraged to make that choice?
At the time the interview was taken,
Obama's pick for a new Justice was Sonia Sotomayor.
Her detractors have pointed out that
she is a racist. While making a speech at a gathering of La Raza Law
Journal, she said, “Whether born from experience or inherent
physiological or cultural differences … our gender and national
origins may and will make a difference in our judging. … I would
hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences
would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male
who hasn’t lived that life.”
You
could interpret that to mean that since she is from a minority race
and a woman, which is often another minority, that she would be
doubly compassionate in her decisions, because she had been in their
shoes. But you have to consider the circumstances the statement was
made under. La Raza, means "The Race." If some white
lawyers had a Law Journal and called it "The Race," it
would be considered arrogant at best, and racist at worst. The point
is, in our world and in our country, racism and reverse racism,
happens in all walks of life, and everyone thinks they are justified
in it, and that they will personally should never be the victim of
it, and everyone else can fend for themselves.
On
December 25, 2010, the NY Times reported that Obama's healthcare plan
would pay doctors who encouraged or advised patients on options for
end of life care, which may include advance directives to forgo
aggressive life sustaining treatment. When this stuff came up before
Republicans like Sarah Palin said that the government was going to
use the healthcare bill to cut off care for the critically ill. Obama
denied it saying that they weren't going "to cut off grandma's
life support." But the final version of the bill that President
Obama signed, has Medicare coverage of "voluntary advance care
planning," to discuss end of life treatment, as part of the
annual visit. Doctors can provide information to patients on how to
prepare an advance healthcare directive. I really don't understand
what's to cover. They have been making those little pamphlets that
explain the whole procedure to people for years, and you can download
and print one off the internet. Unless they mean they will cover the
cost of printing those up, there's nothing to cover. So what it
appears to really mean is that they will pay doctors and nurses for
their time explaining and encouraging old people to get one set up.
When someone feels bad and someone in a white coat comes at them with
a bunch of pressure to make a decision, they could easily fall victim
to what they perceive as a person of authority. Older persons can
have trouble making decisions on a good day and sometimes need more
time than a younger person to think over the pros and cons of
something and work it out in their mind what they are going to do.
But doctors could easily get them to agree to something like a DNR
order right there on the spot, especially with a financial incentive.
There is nothing in the bill that says doctors are not permitted to
get an older person to make up their mind. One of the things doctors
have to explain is that Medicare pays for hospice care. And
basically, that is keeping a patient comfortable until they die, but
no medical intervention. Who are the persons or organizations on the
list of helpful resources that doctors are to tell their patients
about? They might give you the address for the Hemlock Society or
something.
As
messed up as that seems, if you don't have something in writing, the
doctors get to make the decisions rather than you and your family. I
chose personally to get a Medical Power of Attorney. In my state that
is the better way to go. But the states around me use the advance
healthcare directives. When you go to the hospital for the slightest
thing, they want to know if you have one, and they frown if you tell
them you have a medical power of attorney. But that is a much better
way of handling your wishes and it is what is required in my state
anyway. I imagine that if you don't take care of things yourself, you
could be encouraged to do all sorts of things by the doctors
providing the information to you. With a Medical Power of Attorney,
someone you trust is making decisions when you can't. You just do not
want some doctor or doctors doing that for you, when a situation not
described in an advance directive or living will comes up. When I had
mine made up, no one was paid to influence me. I told my lawyer what
I wanted and asked if that was legal, he said yes, and made up the
paperwork which was signed and notarized.
Whether
or not the end of life counseling will result in the government
forcing death on people, there are other aspects of the bill that do.
In July 2014, there will be an Independent Payment Advisory Board
that decides how much Medicare gets reduced by if it goes over the
limits of annual growth rate stipulated by the Obama administration.
There is a set amount of money that can be spent for Medicare every
year, and after that this board gets to decide who gets what.
I
can't find the actual London Times story, but there are websites and
blogs all over the internet, that say that in May 2009 they covered a
story saying that , Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Ted Turner, David
Rockefeller, Warren Buffet, George Soros, and Michael Bloomberg, met
at the New York home of Sir Paul Nurse, a Nobel Prize winning
biochemist and President of Rockefeller University.
The
purpose of the meeting was to discuss population reduction. A quote
from Patricia Stonsifer, who formerly headed the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation, said that these people would continue to meet over
the next few months. They were supposed to be discussing population
issues as a possible environmental, social and industrial threat.
http://www.wnd.com/2009/05/99105/http://www.wnd.com/2009/05/99105/
I
did manage to find an article on Market Watch at the Walls Street
Journal on the meeting.http://articles.marketwatch.com/2009-09-29/commentary/30802021_1_global-warming-collapse-bomb
Let's
address the opinions, policies and actions of some of these people.
In a CNN interview March 5, 2010, Bill Gates said that child deaths
and sicknesses are not the only benefits of vaccinations. And
population control is another benefit of vaccinations.
The
$800 million dollars that his and Melinda's foundation gives yearly
for global health is almost as much as the UN WHO annual budget and
is close to the amount that the US Agency for International
Development spends to fight infectious disease. He pays 17% of the
world budget for eradicating polio. In 2005 his foundation gave the
Global Alliance for Vaccines and immunization $750 million dollars.
He gave $27 million to the Children's Vaccine Program, which is run
by the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health in2003. This was
supposed to vaccinate against Japanese encephalitis. This vaccine
reportedly causes sterility. They gave the University of Washington
Department of Global Health, $30 million to found the department.
They have given $287 million to HIV/AIDS research. They gave $280
million to Aeras Global TB Vaccine Foundation. In 2012 he pledged
$10 billion to provide vaccinations to children world wide.
During
a speech that he gave at the TED conference in Long Beach California
in 2010 he said that vaccinations, healthcare, reproductive health
systems, could lower the population caused use of Co2 by 15 percent.
Reproductive health systems means abortions and birth control. He
also recommended reporting every birth by cell phone. Vaccines will
be the key. If you could register every birth on a cell phone—get
fingerprints, get a location—then you could [set up] systems to
make sure the immunizations happen.” He thinks that in rural areas
of the world, cell phones would be instrumental in insuring that
people get vaccinations and take their TB medicines. “Malaria and
TB are going to be the first things where you say, ‘Wow, without
this mobile application, all these people would have died."
I
guess now we are going to have an app for that. He told the audience
that there is "no such thing as a healthy high population growth
country." "If you are healthy, you are low population
growth." He has a weird idea that if parents have healthy
children, then within five years, they will decide to have less
children, and that is the basis for his push for vaccinations. OR so
he says. He thinks that robots are the next big thing in healthcare.
He suggested that C-sections are routine, so a robot could perform
them. Having had a C-section, I cannot imagine how surreal it would
be to be drugged up and have a robot cut into your body from your
belly button to your pubic bone and extract the life that you have
carried an nurtured for nine months. It makes my incision scar hurt
to think about it. Let's change the subject.
The
Bill and Malinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation
(David Rockefeller) created GMO biotechnology, and are financing The
Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa(AGRA). Former UN chief,
Kofi Annan heads it. It's board has people from both foundations on
it.
The
Rockefeller Brothers' Fund and George Soros sponsor the Center for
American Progress, which cooperates with Common Purpose. As I
pointed out earlier, the Rockefeller Foundation, as well as the Ford
and New World Foundations fund the Hastings Center. I won't get into
what all it does here but the Rockefeller's are tied to the Council
on Foreign Relations.
The
film maker Aaron Russo was friends with Nick Rockefeller and told
Alex Jones that he said the Rockefeller's bankrolled women's
liberation because half of the population wasn't being taxed and if
they entered the work force they would be. And their children would
have to enter the public school system earlier, which would make it
easier to indoctrinate them to accept the state as their primary
family. Their aim was to break up the traditional family model. He
also said that Rockefeller talked about the need for people to be
ruled or controlled by the elite, and one of the ways of doing this
was through population control. Population needed to be reduced by
half. He also said that Rockefeller wanted people implanted with a
chip to control their brain. This idea comes from trans humanism and
post humanism. They think technologies could be used to create
simultaneously better humans and more easily controlled humans.
This
video will give you a little more visual understanding of what I am
trying to get across. I found it after I finished writing this.
