The History and Practice of Eugenics, PT. 7

The History and Practice of Eugenics

Up to this point, I have covered history, which might seem somewhat distant to you. Now I am going to cover information from the 1970's to the present, so that you might see that this is a current issue you should be concerned with.

In January 1973, The Supreme Court ruling on Roe vs. Wade legalized abortion. And then the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights was formed with financial backing to the tune of $115,000, from the Rockefeller Foundation. It was organized by the United Methodist Church. It is now called the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.

White House Tape 697/29--March 30, 1972

NIXON: A majority of people in Colorado voted for abortion, I think a majority of people in Michigan are for abortion, I think in both cases, well, certainly in Michigan they will vote for it because they think that what's going to be aborted generally are little black bastards.

White House Tape 700/10--April 3, 1972

NIXON: ...as I told you--we talked about it earlier--that a hell of a lot of people want to control the Negro bastards.

...we're talking really--and what John Rockefeller really realizes--look, the people in what we call our class control their populations. Sometimes they'll have a family of six, or seven, or eight, or nine, but it's exception. People who don't control their families are people in -- the people that shouldn't have kids.

In 1969, UNESCO, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization,

said that a Federal Population Commission "with a large budget for propaganda" should be created, and that tax laws should be changed "to discourage reproduction and instituting mandatory birth control instruction in public schools."

Richard Nixon created the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future. The bill had been supported by most of the Democratic party, and John D. Rockefeller was it's chairman. It's executive Director was Charles F. Westoff, a member of the American Eugenics Society and Planed Parenthood's National Advisory Council.

William Draper was a Vice President of Planned Parenthood, and had raised over $4 million dollars for the organization. In 1969 he was the US representative for the UN Population Commission. "to cure the present ghetto problem and deal with the population question among the poorer parts of our own population here in the United States will require valiant and much greater efforts than any exerted in the past."

In 1963, Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Fulbright bill, and made it law, within a few weeks of becoming President. It funded international population research. He was the first President who supported federal support of birth control through welfare and public health programs. He did this because of the urging of Texas Republican Representative, George H.W. Bush. He said, "America's progress toward a society of decency has been marked and measured by our attitudes toward the role and toward the rights of women." In 1966 Planned Parenthood Federation of American gave him the Margaret Sanger Award, for his foreign policy on family planning in foreign countries.

Dwight B. Eisenhower said, in 1965, that "society will find itself in the curious situation of spending money with the one hand to slow up population growth among responsible families and with the other providing financial incentive for increased production by the ignorant, feeble-minded or lazy." He also said that "history would rightly condemn us", if we didn't make welfare contingent on family planning.

Both he and Harry S. Truman were fund raisers for Planned Parenthood.

In 2009, Nancy Pelosi said that the Economic Stimulus Package should also fund population control to save the government from having to pay for health care and education for poor children.

In 1970, Planned Parenthood was the 19th largest health fund raising agency in the US, after the American Heart Association and American Cancer Society. But in 2000, they were third. This is largely due to government funding.

The Laurence G. Pauquin Middle School clinic was the first site for Norplant implantation; Out of 350 girls who received the implant, 345 were black. The first 100 clinics opened to use the implant were in minority schools. Norplant was developed by the Population Council of New York. John D. Rockefeller was it's first president. Frank Notestein and Frederick Osborn were members of the American Eugenics Society. Frank Notestein was on the National Advisory Council on Planned Parenthood.

In 1970, Alan Guttmacher,President of Planned Parenthood and one time V.P. of the American Eugenics Society, said,

"If you're going to curb population, it's extremely important not to have it done by the damned Yankees, but by the UN. Because, the thing is, then it's not considered genocide. If the United States goes to the black man or the yellow man and says slow down your reproductive rate, we're immediately suspected of having ulterior motives to keep the white man dominant in the world. If you can send in a colorful UN force, you've got much better leverage."

In 1974, The National Security Study Memorandum 200. It was the official US policy on population control around the world. The memorandum went to The Secretaries of Defense, Agriculture, the Director of the CIA, The Deputy Secretary of State, and the Administrator of the Agency for International Development. One of the goals was to reduce population in 3rd World countries so that there was no interruption in the supply of minerals from foreign countries. It said that no country had reduced its population without resorting to abortion. It was estimated that 30 million pregnancies would be terminated around the world. About 7 percent of the world population live in countries where abortion is prohibited and 12 percent live in countries where it is only used to save the life of the mother. It said that AID had helped a number of private family planning organizations which included Plane Parenthood to expand their worldwide population programs.

The memorandum suggested withholding aid to disaster stricken countries unless they implement birth control.

In 1977, Dr. R.T. Ravenholt, Director of the US Office of Population said in an interview with the St. Louis Post Dispatch,that the U.S. intended to try to sterilize of 1/4 of the women in the world because it protected U.S. economic interests, and that if goals were met, as many as 100 million women might be sterilized.

"In some countries, however, 'political sensitivity' makes it impossible for the US to negotiate such agreements. In those cases, he said, efforts are made to set up population programs under the aegis of

other organizations, such as the United Nations Fund for Population Activities and the International Planned Parenthood Federation. Both groups receive heavy US funding."

Ravenholt was given an award from Planned Parenthood for innovation and vision in the population field.

Henry Kissinger , while serving as chief foreign policy adviser, personally helped Planned Parenthood to set up an abortion counseling service for Vietnamese refugees at Camp Pendleton, in California, although they hadn't asked for the service and most of them were against abortion.

There was an abortion training program conducted by the Agency for International Development, which operated under the State Department. Henry Kissinger refused to stop this when people complained;even though it was against the law, to use foreign aid funds for that purpose.

President Bill Clinton issued an executive order two days after he was sworn in, to that allowed federally funded agencies to refer women to abortion clinics, thereby repealing Bush administration bans on abortion counseling in by those agencies. Military hospitals were also to be allowed to perform abortions. American money could now, also be used again to fund UN population programs.

In September of 2005, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation awarded $1 million dollars to Planned Parenthood for Hurricane Katrina Evacuees. It was played off as being because women had had to leave behind their medicines like birth control pills. But everyone knows that more of the evacuees were black.

On page 59 of the book, RU 486, Misconceptions Myths and Morals, by Janice G. Raymond, Renate Klein, Lynette J. Dumble The Abortion Pill was originally developed by the NIH and the Center of Population Research as a "means to inhibit corpus luteum functions" as "a desirable goal." The specific intention of such research was to restrict population growth in countries that were judged to be 'under developed.' If successful, the method(s) could be extended to groups in the United States--Black, Hispanic and Native American Women (Department of Health, Education and Welfare, NIH, USA, 1969)

American companies would not produce RU 486, so the Chinese Hus Lian Pharmaceutical factory produced it, as reported in the Washington Post October 12, 2000. But the Rockefeller Foundation helped the company to upgrade its equipment and train its staff to meet international standards so that it could export the drug. It provided $2 million dollars to The Concept Foundation that was established by the WHO and World Bank in 1989 and also provided aid.

Hiechst A.G.(formerly I.G. Farben, and manufacturer of Zyklon B) has a subsidiary in France called Roussel Uclaf, which developed RU-486. Both companies are connected to the Rockefeller Foundation.

Edward Allred owns one of the largest chains of abortion clinics in the US. He said in 1980, "The Aid

to Families with Dependent Children is the worst boondoggle ever created. When a sullen black woman of 17 or 18 can decide to have a baby and get welfare and food stamps and become a burden to all of us, it's time to stop. In parts of South Los Angeles, having babies for welfare is the only industry people have."

His clinics took referrals from Planned Parenthood, major community referral groups and private physicians as well as UC Medical Center. He said that,"We do virtually all the prepaid health care groups abortions in Orange County.

Although Planned Parenthood and other eugenics organizations never had making money as their ultimate goal, in 2006 Planned Parenthood made a profit of over 60 million dollars. And received 350 million dollars from the US government. In 2009 they received around 1 million dollars a day, from American taxes. Tax money went to fund the website, Take Care Down There.org, which is pretty offensive. It had a video that shows a black man performing oral sex on a white man, and another man walks up and begins telling them they should use a condom. Is it significant that the black man is the one servicing the white man?

Drugs, alcohol and tobacco have been shown to be targeted at black communities. Alveda King, the daughter of Martin Luther King, Jr. "Today the vast majority of Planned Parenthood Clinics are located in our neighborhoods. Are we really so naive to believe that this is all a coincidence? We all know that drugs, alcohol and tobacco are devastating, especially in the black community. We know that the big corporations target us with the adds and the marketing campaigns. And yet we don't notice that Planned Parenthood is doing the very same thing. We need to pay attention to the fact that in the 1960's, when we as African Americans began to demand our Civil Rights, for the first time in American History, there began a widespread cry in our government for legalized abortion. Was that coincidence too?

Or could it be that when we said we would no longer sit on the back of the bus, a place was being reserved for us down at the abortion clinic.

Alex Jones has said on his show that in countries that are industrialized, their start to be 1.3 children per couple. And then he pointed out what should be obvious, when you think about it. 1.3 isn't even replacement of the 2 parents. So if that continued indefinitely, people would go extinct in industrialized countries.

Historically, we look to the Supreme Court to protect us from unjust court rulings. But as we have previously seen, the Supreme Court Justices on the bench with Oliver Wendell Holmes were eugenicists at heart. We still have Justices that are of like mind.

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?

Instead of using terms like Social Darwinism, and Racial Hygiene, we now use terms like sustainability, conservationism, environmentalism, trans-humanism, and population control. At this time the term crypto-eugenics came into being because scientists went underground with their beliefs.

The human genome has been mapped. We now have prenatal testing, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis, therapeutic cloning, stem cell therapy, and the list will continue to grow. While in many ways these things are beneficial, there remains the potential for them to be abused. We have to ensure that scientists and government, realize that they are accountable for this science being used in a responsible manner.

China has a one child per family policy, and they adopted it because Planned Parenthood and the United Nations encouraged them to do so. If families have more children, they face heavy fines and being imprisoned. This plan was implemented in a gradual fashion. Back in the 1960's if you had more than one child, you just had to pay a tax, and were not imprisoned. There are 30 Million more men in China than there are women. This is because culturally, they prefer male children, and abort female children. The lack of female children is drastically lowering China's population. Genetics is important in China. Dissidents are sent to forced labor camps, where they have their blood and tissues typed so that their organs can be harvested and sold to the highest bidder on the world market. Sometimes, if the proposed recipient of the organ wants to fly to China to have the implant, the prisoner is killed so the organ can be implanted. But if not, they have mobile execution vans and the prisoner is killed on the way to the air port and the organ is sent to the buyer. It has been reported that China euthanizes the elderly and disabled routinely. The reason nothing is done about it is that our leaders support it. Henry Kissinger, for instance, said in 1974, "Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy toward the third world." They want to spread this tyranny and depopulation around the rest of the world.

Julian Huxley argued that since eugenicists had come up with the ideas of environmentalism and conservation, they should be used to form a world government. They want a world like H.G. Wells described that is governed by the scientific community, and through the use of eugenics. Did you know that the WWF, World Wildlife Fund was founded by a former S.S. officer named Prince Bernhard from the Netherlands, Prince Philip(Queen Elizabeth II's husband) and Julian Huxley? The Prince is also supposed to be a key founder of the Bilderberg Group. Some of the things these people say are mind boggling. Prince Philip reportedly told the Deutsche Press in 1988, "In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation." Well he hasn't died yet, but we do have quite a few relatively new and deadly viruses.

Bertrand Russell said, "Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton." He also wrote that vaccines and other chemicals would effectively lobotomize people and develop a zombie-like populace. "Diet, injections and injunctions will combine from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable. And any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible." (From The Impact of Science on Society)

Julian Huxley had a brother named Aldous Huxley, who wrote Brave New World, which was amazingly prophetic. During a speech at Berkeley in 1962, he admitted that when he wrote it, it was not based on fiction but on what he knew that the elite who were in power had planned for us. He said that his Brave New World pattern would most likely be the way that the scientific dictatorship was implemented, rather than the Orwellian world of 1984, simply because it was more efficient. "If you can get people to consent to the state of affairs in which they are living, the state of servitude, the state of being, well it seems to me that the nature of the ultimate revolution with which we are now faced is precisely this, that we are in process of developing a whole series of techniques, which will enable the controlling oligarchy which have always existed and presumably always will exist, to get people to actually love their servitude, where people can be made to enjoy a state of affairs which by any decent standard they ought not to enjoy. And these methods, I think, are a real refinement on the older methods of terror because they combine methods of terror with methods of acceptance. Within the various other methods which one can think of, there is for example the pharmacological method. This was one of the things I talked about in Brave New World, and the result would be that, I mean you can imagine the euphoric which would make people thoroughly happy even in the most abominable circumstances. I mean these things are possible."

It is not known by most people that our public school system was established not to educate more people but to dumb them down, so that they would be easier to control.

It is a not so well known fact that several countries have used nerve gas on their own people in experiments. And people in hospitals in the US have been injected with radioactive materials like uranium and plutonium. Hospitals were commissioned by the government to give these healthy people doses which were sometimes non-therapeutic all the way up to lethal. This experimentation was conducted between 1944 and 1994. The pregnant wives of military men were given what they thought were vitamins, which actually contained uranium and plutonium. The mothers miscarried and died. Soldiers were used in hydrogen and atomic bomb tests. I have no doubt that some of these men would have volunteered to submit to this experiment in the interest of their country, if they had been given the choice. Instead, they were treated as if they were mere lab rats in return for doing their patriotic duty, and denied the choice.http://www.rense.com/general36/history.htm

There were also Sephardic Jewish children, who were darker skinned than other Jews, subjected to radiation experiment as well. http://www.sudanesethinker.com/2006/11/28/israel-carried-out-deliberate-radiation-poisoning-of-100000-sephardic-jews/
http://redactednews.blogspot.com/2010/01/ringworm-children.htmlThe English people had biological agents like sarin, chemicals and radioactive materials sprayed above their country secretly, between 1940 and 1979 over 2000 times.http://www.prisonplanet.com/news_alert_101002_biological1.html South Africa developed race specific bio weapons and sold them to Israel back in the 1970's. These weapons targeted blacks and Asians.http://www.jonesreport.com/articles/260707_colbert_depopulation.html

Dick Cheney was quoted as promoting race specific bio weapons as politically useful tools, in a report from 2000, by The Project For A New American Censure.

Within the US, in 1979, the Pentagon tested bio-weapons in the subways in New York. And monitored the effects in local hospitals. Pesticides are being tested on low income children, due to EPA loopholes which allow it. There have been AIDS and other experimental drugs tested on foster children. Prisoners in US jails have been forced to be experimented on with chemicals and drugs. It has been estimated that the average foster child is on a cocktail of on average seven psychotropic drugs. Joe Burkett, Chairman of the Texas Society of Psychiatric Physicians, told an advisory committee subcommittee on income security and family support, during hearings to discuss the use of psychotropic drugs for children in the foster care system, that the main reason two-thirds of foster children were on drugs was because they were very sick due to a bad gene pool and were predisposed to mental illness. In 2007, The Guardian in the UK reported that unborn fetuses considered to be at risk of becoming criminals were to be targeted. Supposedly, their mothers were to be given "intensive weekly support from midwives and health visitors" from the 16th week of pregnancy, "until the unborn child reaches two years old." The article says that the program was copied from three large programs in the US.http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2007/may/16/ukcrime.children Another article says that most crime is committed by a small number of prolific offenders who could be identified almost from birth, and that the net should be cast as widely as possible to prevent criminality from developing. They are keeping databases on families in order to sift out undesirable criminality. Some of the behaviors they are looking for, you or I would consider normal in children, such as short attention span, or being aggressive toward other children. The article does not say if they are looking for abnormal levels of these behaviors, just the existence. Children ages 8-13 would be referred to Youth Inclusion and Support Panels if they are considered to be potential offenders and their data will be held in databases.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1546779/New-child-checks-to-identify-future-criminals.html  There have been news reports that think tanks in the UK have said that having more than one or two children should be frowned upon because too many children are what is causing all of the bad stuff like global warming. The British Commission on Population created by King George VI of England, in 1944, stated that overpopulation in 3rd World countries was a threat to elite governments like the US and UK. But they are not alone in that opinion.

National Security Memorandum 200 from 1974 decided that overpopulation in 3rd world countries was a national security issue. Kissinger came up with a plan in which the population of 13 countries were to have massive population reduction. His recommendation was that International Monetary Fund and world banks only loan money to these countries under the condition that they adopt population control programs, which included sterilization. He also felt that food should be used as a bargaining chip to get them to comply, basically as a weapon. He also suggested that wars be instigated to reduce population.

George H.W. Bush was the U.S. Ambassador to the UN under the Nixon administration. He advised China on the One child per family policy. He was also responsible for directing the government to forcibly sterilize 40% of Native American women living on reservations.

There are many organizations involved in this. The Club of Rome which is associated with the Bilderberg Group, recommended environmentalism be used as the method for population control, because they believed that people in the West would accept the idea of population control if it were disguised as saving the Earth. They also believe that people will be more willing to give up national sovereignty if it is to save the Earth. They promote the global carbon tax and trading in carbon shares to fund their implementation of a global government.

The UN Global Biodiversity Assessment says that population has to be reduced from about six million down to around one million. http://www.un.org/earthwatch/biodiversity/assessment.html

Newsweek reported that Ted Turner pledged to give over one billion dollars to the UN to spend on population reduction all over the world. During an interview with Audubon Magazine, he said, "A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95 percent decline from present levels, would be ideal." http://www.forbes.com/sites/kerenblankfeld/2011/09/21/ted-turners-plans-to-save-the-world/  

When Bill Gates announced that he would be retiring so that he could pursue charitable causes, I thought it was an admirable thing. But he and his wife Melinda have donated 2.2 Billion in 1999, to Planned Parenthood, the UN Population Fund, and other population groups. They have given over 30 billion dollars towards population control. This has been played off as an effort to help 3rd World children. Warren Buffet has given 37 Billion to population control groups.

"And I actually think the world will be better when there's only 10 or 20 percent of us left." (Dr. Eric Pianka) He is a professor at the University of Texas, and he has said that AIDS was too slow at killing people and that Ebola would work better, killing 90% of the population quickly. Some of his students came out to support him saying that all humans should be killed. He also said, "China was able to turn the corner and become the leading world super power because they have a police state and they are able to force people to stop reproducing."

While there are some immensely helpful things that have come from and are yet to come from the fields of genetics, nano technology and robotics, they have been funded by eugenicists from the early days of their development. They now call themselves trans-humanists or post humanists. They say they are bringing sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf and geneticists believe they can give humans the ability to live longer lives. But the origin of trans-humanism is Julian Huxley. Ray Kurzweil is an inventor and has been involved in OCR(Optical Character Reading) technology, text to speech, and speech recognition technology. But he has also written several books on health, trans-humanism, and artificial intelligence.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Kurzweil Trans-humanists like him believe in using technology and science to among other things allow people to live longer, enhance human intelligence. Julian Huxley wrote in 1957, that trans-humanism was "man remaining man, but transcending himself, by realizing new possibilities of and for his human nature". But make no mistake, they don't believe that all of us are going to be able to do that, and many of them want to make sure we aren't all here to do so. They say they believe in using technology to improve the human condition, eliminate aging, enhancing human intellect, and simultaneously, some of them study what the promises or dangers of this technology might be and the ethics of it. Obviously, if we eliminate aging, we will have to stop reproducing or we will run out of room and resources if nobody ever dies. That is where trans-humanism meets eugenics.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism This Brave New World is not intended for all of us. Kursweil has said, "Biological evolution is too slow for the human species, over the next few decades it's going to be left in the dust."

"The elite who occupy the commanding heights of digital reality are suicidal nihilists. Suicidal nihilists know that there is no longer any substantive purpose to their willing. But they would always prefer to go on will than to not act at all. They can very happily ally themselves with a notion of nuclear holocaust or perfect exterminism." (Arthur Kroker)

While they tell us that they are trying to create an evolved future society, what they really want to do, it take us back to the feudal system of the Middle Ages, when there was no middle class, and there were only two classes, the elite and those who exist solely to serve them.

I am not quite sure where the proper place to insert this information would be. Between 1973 and 1976, there were 3406 Native American women sterilized in the western states. If you compared this by ratio to non-Native American women, it would be like sterilizing 452,000 of them. These sterilizations were conducted by the Indian Health Service and by those who contracted with them to perform the operations. This figure was arrived at by the Government Accounting Office, but there were problems with who they counted. Independent studies estimated that somewhere between 25 and 50 percent of Native American women were sterilized between 1970 and 1976. Many of these women were coerced into submitting to the procedures, by physicians.

On one Navajo, reservation, between 1972-1978 the rate of abortions went up by 130% and sterilization went up from 15% to 30% of total surgeries performed on the reservation. Women were threatened with loss of government healthcare benefits to any future children they might have and or losing custody of the children they already had.(Center For Bioethics and Humanity, Trinity International University(http://cbhd.org/content/forced-sterilization-native-americans-late-twentieth-century-physician-cooperation-national. http://cbhd.org/content/forced-sterilization-native-americans-late-twentieth-century-physician-cooperation-nationalhttp://cbhd.org/content/forced-sterilization-native-americans-late-twentieth-century-physician-cooperation-national

This travesty of justice, first came to light when a young Indian woman went to see Dr. Connie Pinkerton-Uri, in Los Angeles. She wanted to have a womb transplant. Apparently, the doctor who had given her a hysterectomy, because she suffered from alcoholism, told her that the surgery was reversible.http://muse.jhu.edu/login?auth=0&type=summary&url=/journals/american_indian_quarterly/v024/24.3lawrence.html 

When Dr. Uri checked the records of tubal ligation’s and hysterectomies, she found that 75% were non-therapeutic,i.e. unnecessary.(Kurt Kaltreider, PH.D. "American Indian Prophecies." p. 71. )

Emery A. Johnson, who was the director of the IHS during the 1970's, told a congressional committee in 1975 that IHS "considered non-therapeutic sterilization a legitimate method of family planning... We are not aware of any instance in which such services have been abused."  

George H.W. Bush signed the Family Planning Act that resulted in the sterilization and abortions being performed on both Native Americans and African Americans. It legalized federal funding for the programs.

At the same time that the GAO was conducting it's investigation on how many women were affected, it stated that the consent forms did not comply with regulations.

History and Practice of Eugenics PT 6

History and Practice of Eugenics

Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood

Some of Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood's history needs to be covered, because her organization has branched out all over the world under the auspices of the United Nations and with the blessing and aid of the US Government. She was also associated with the American Eugenics Society.

Margaret Sanger was jailed many times for promoting birth control. She opened the first birth control clinic in 1916 for which she was jailed. In an interview, Mike Wallace reported that her first marriage ended in divorce because of her crusade. During the interview, he said that her Catholic mother died young after eleven pregnancies. Her father was an atheist, who suffered financially because of it. The people in the village she lived in called her and her siblings, "children of the Devil." But she denied having any antagonism toward the Catholic church as a reason for her work. She stated that she was a born humanitarian and that as a nurse she had seen a great deal of suffering and cruelty that were unnecessary. She said that besides alleviating the suffering of women, that the population problem was also a concern. She said that population needed to be kept at a static level until the level of available resources picked up, and when asked which was more important, controlling population or picking up the level of resources, she said that there is just so much you could do to pick up the level of resources.

She disagreed and took issue with the Catholic church's opinion that the natural purpose of marriage is to beget children. She said that many people had happy marriage without having several children. And said that the priests were celibate and really knew nothing about marriage. She said that she had read in the papers put out by the Catholic church that they had out-bred the protestants in Boston and other cities and speculated that their reasoning for being against birth control was because they wanted more Catholics, which would give the church more power. She denied having said that she believed that it should be illegal for the clergy of any religion to forbid birth control.

Toward the end of the interview, Mike Wallace asked her if she believed that sin existed, She said that "the greatest sin in the world was bringing children into the world that had diseases from their parents, that had no chance in the world, to be a human being, delinquents, prisoners, all sorts of things, just marked when they are born. That to me is the greatest sin people can commit."

(http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/multimedia/video/2008/wallace/sanger_margaret_t.htmlhttp://www.hrc.utexas.edu/multimedia/video/2008/wallace/sanger_margaret_t.html)

But whether or not she admitted to any negative agenda on television, she has been quoted as saying things that are thinly veiled racism. Speaking about eugenics, she said, "On it's negative side it shows us we are paying for and even submitting to the dictates of an ever increasing unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all--that the wealth of individuals and of states is being diverted from the development and the progress of human expression and civilization."(Margaret Sanger, 1922)

As I stated before, it was during the early 20th century that eugenicists began to use code words and phrases, such as feeble-mindedness, and quality of life, meaning that under classes had no quality of life, so would be better off not being born. They were not talking about eliminating poverty, but eliminating those who live in impoverished conditions.

In the paper that the Birth Control League put out called Birth Control Review, Walter Terpenning had this to say, in 1932, "As among whites, there are cases of degenerate Negroes whose propagation will be checked only by sterilization or institutionalization, but the practice of birth control among the majority of colored people would probably be more eugenic than among their white compatriots. The dissemination of the information of birth control should have begun with this class rather than with the upper social and economic classes of white citizens."

While the worst of that statement is directed at black people, he is also referring to eugenics being applied to lower class whites.

Newell L. Sims also said in the Birth Control Review in 1932, "In virtually every community where Negroes dwell one finds them in fat times and lean alike contributing a disproportionate number to the rolls of dependents and delinquents. They make excessive demands on the white man's charity and overtax his patience with the delinquencies."

T. Lothrop Stoddard was a member of the American Eugenics Society, Director of The American Birth Control League and wrote for the Birth Control Review. He wrote a book called The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy. The book The Dragon And The Cross says that he was the Exalted Cyclops of the Massachusetts chapter of the KKK.

"Non-white races must be excluded from America...The red and black races if left to themselves revert to a savage or semi-savage state in a short time."(Lothrop Stoddard)

He supposedly met personally with Heinrich Himler and Adolf Hitler on 19 December 1939, during a four month visit to Germany. When Halle University began to teach courses on race, Doctor Kuertner, told students that the course followed "American pathfinders Madison Grant and Lathrop Stoddard."

Stoddard wrote in his book The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy, "the white race divides into three main sub-species--the Nordics, the Alpines, and the Mediterraneans. All three are good stocks, ranking in genetic worth well above the various colored races. However, there seems to be no question that the Nordic is far and away the most valuable type..."

What you need to take from that statement is that whites can be racists against other classes of whites. Eugenics is not just a problem for persons of color. If they succeed at eliminating colored people, they will learn from the process, and be more practiced and efficient at eliminating whomever they deem to be the next group in their way.

As you can see, Margaret Sanger, may not have been willing to say what her true racist opinions were when she was interviewed by Mike Wallace, but she was aligned with men who had no qualms about it. She has claimed that the Birth Control League was never associated with eugenics. But at least until 1956, The American Eugenics Society listed her as a member. Many of the members of either group were members of both groups. She even at one point proposed merging both groups, or at least combining their publications, but the members of the American Eugenics Society were against it.

She is known to have made earlier statements though that give insight into her true leanings. "The eugenic and civilization value of birth control is becoming apparent to the enlightened and the intelligent...the campaign for birth control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical in ideal with the final aim of eugenics."(Margaret Sanger, 1921)

She wrote a letter to Catherine Dexter McCormick, "I consider that the world and almost our civilization for the next twenty-five years, is going to depend upon a simple, cheap, safe contraceptive to be used in poverty stricken slums, jungles, and among the most ignorant people. Even this will not be sufficient, because I believe that now, immediately, there should be national sterilization for certain dysgenic types of our population who are being encouraged to breed and would die out were the government not feeding them."(Margaret Sanger,1950) Catherine McCormick was heiress to the International Harvester fortune, and funded the development of the birth control pill.

In 1926, according to her autobiography she gave a speech at a KKK meeting, in Silver Lake, New Jersey, afterward, she was invited by twelve other KKK chapters to give speeches for them.

In 1927 she organized the World Population Conference in Geneva Switzerland, which was covered in Birth Control Review. Dr. Eugen Fischer attended the conference. If you will remember he worked for the Nazis.

Harry Laughlin from the Eugenics Society was also a member of the Birth Control League. He had some pretty diabolical opinions. "Eugenical sterilization is for the one purpose of preventing reproduction of persons who according to the known facts of heredity, in high probability, produce degenerate offspring. Several of the eugenical sterilization statutes provide for sterilization for the "benefit of the individual and for the good of society" No sterilization law is needed for providing for sterilization for the therapeutic benefit of the individual. Existing surgical laws amply cover operations which incidentally might cause sexual sterility."

What he is saying is that according to the law a doctor can perform an operation which has the added benefit of sterilization. He seems to be saying that doctors could slide this procedure by the law by saying the surgery was for something else. But most likely he also meant that the surgery could be snuck by the patient as well. In fact, this actually happened in some instances. Young girls were told that they needed appendectomies and while the doctors had them on the table, they also sterilized them.

Ernst Ruden was President of The International Federation of Eugenics in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, which was also funded by the Carnegie Foundation. He was a German and in Birth Control Review, he called for racial purity in 1933. He wrote the eugenics laws for the Nazis. He helped in the round up and sterilization of 600 bi-racial people in Germany who were reportedly fathered by black men. The were referred to as Rheinland Bastards. After the war, he was identified as one of the doctors who experimented on the prisoners in the camps.

The Nazis may have gotten their idea for concentration camps from Americans. In 1932, Margaret Sanger called for the US government to set up farms and camps for the poor, illiterate, unemployable, morons, defectives and epileptics would be segregated from the rest of society. They should be forcibly kept there until they developed better moral conduct.

In Indiana they actually set up some of these camps, where they could send people who were feeble minded. The state could label as feeble-minded, someone who was shiftless, poor, or did not do well in school or had insufficient moral judgement. There are people who are not black who could be defined that way now.

In the 1920's Massachusetts a Eugenics Project proposed sterilization of girls who were defective. i.e. unwed mothers, poor, or a non specific category of socially undesirable. Young teenage boys could be castrated for having signs of kleptomania, or something called solitary behavior.

Hitler wrote, in 1934 a letter to compliment Leon Whitney, Executive Secretary of the American Eugenics Society, for a book he wrote on sterilization. His book was called, The Case For Sterilization. He wrote that the "If we could purge the country of our typical slum elements in city and country alike, what harm would be done" Why would it not be well worth while to include them in the group whom we are weeding out of the population garden? " His writings were also published in the Birth Control Review. Obviously, he was indicating that the list of undesirable people should be expanded to poor whites. He also wrote that, "...we should probably be disposing of the lowest fourth of our population,,, and that they were "too stupid to comprehend or carry out the simple methods of contraception...we should hardly miss them."

The President of the American Eugenics Society, Frederick Osborn, stated that "Eugenics goals are most likely attained under a name other than eugenics."

In 1942 due to negative associations with the Nazi's, The American Birth Control League, changed it's name to Planned Parenthood. The were seeking to distance themselves from terms like "population control" and "eugenics." The agenda didn't change, however.

In 1929, Samuel Holmes, American Birth Control League, stated that mandatory birth control should be used as a tool to eliminate the menace to the white race, i.e the increase in Negro population. He proposed that a quota system be instituted by the government, which would determine who had the right to have children, and determined by race.

1936, Julian Huxley, stated that genetically inferior classes could be made to have fewer children if they were denied easy access to welfare. He also thought that medical care should be restricted to those classes of people so that fewer of their children would survive. People who were unemployed for too long should be forcibly sterilized. He received honors from Planned Parenthood and spoke at one of their conventions.

"We hope the restraint to population growth can come about through voluntary means. But if it does not, involuntary methods will be used."(Dr. Donald Menkler, 1972, President of the American Association of Planned Parenthood Physicians, and member of Board of Directors, Planned Parenthood Federation of America)

Garrett Hardin received the highest national award from Planned Parenthood in 1980. He was a Professor at UC. He called it insanity to rely on voluntarism to control population. He was a member of the American Eugenicists Society. He said that parents should be willing to give up their right to breed for the betterment of society.

Gunnar Merdal or Myrdal, wrote a book called, An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem In Modern Democracy. He had a staff of 75 assistants,while writing this book, who were paid by the Carnegie Foundation. He and his wife also received money from the Kennedy Foundation and were connected with Swedish eugenics and the forcible sterilization of 66,000 people. Sweden was his and his wife's Alva's native country. A few quotes from the book, " There were about 17 times as many Negroes in the Unites States in 1940 as there were in 1790, when the first census was taken, but in the same period the

white population increased 37 times (Figure 1). Negroes were 19.3 per cent of the American population in 1790, but only 9.8 percent in 1940. (Chapter 7, pg.1) "Commonly it is considered a great misfortune to America that Negro slaves were ever imported. The presence of Negros in America is usually considered as a "plight" of the nation, and particularly of the South."(chapter 7, pg. 167) "All white Americans agree that, if the Negro is to be eliminated, he must be eliminated slowly so as to not hurt any living individual Negroes."(chapter 7, pg. 168") "The only way possible of decreasing Negro population is by means of controlling fertility."(pg. 170) "...birth control facilities could be extended relatively more to Negroes than to whites, since Negroes are more concentrated in the lower income and education classes..."(chapter 7, pg. 176)

The first quote shows that either they had already been fairly successful at lowering the growth rate of the Negro population, or that it was really the whites who were overpopulating.

Eventually, the eugenicists developed the birth control pill and other forms of contraception that were more acceptable to some than sterilization had been.

"There is a campaign to bombard the poor with pills and potions. If this movement continues, we soon may be accused of fighting poverty by eliminating the poor and overcoming hunger by removing the hungry." (Hugh Carey, Congressman, New York, 1966)

"Contraceptives will become a form of drug warfare against the helpless in this nation. Those whom we could not get rid of in the rice paddies of Viet-Nam we now propose to exterminate if necessary, eliminate if possible, in the OB wards and gynecology clinics of our urban hospitals." (Jesse Jackson, 1971)

"Under the cover of an alleged campaign to 'alleviate poverty,' white supremacist Americans and their dupes are pushing an all-out drive to put rigid birth control measures into every black home. No such drive exists within the white American world."(Black Unity Party, 1068)

"Birth control and sterilization in the wrong hands would be more deadly to Negroes than all the tanks, riot guns, cattle prods, billy clubs and shackles we have overcome in the past." (Dr Leroy Swift, OB/GYN, 1968)

"Black people are the target of birth control not because the ruling politicians like them and care about their economic equality, but because they had them and can no longer use them in plantations and other cheap-labor conditions." (Muhammad Speaks, Black Muslim Newspaper, 1970)

In 1958 black people in the Caribbean began to protest birth control that was targeted at blacks. At the same time, whites were being encouraged to have children.

Newspapers have reported that in South Africa, under Apartheid, birth control was one of the main chief weapons being used against blacks.

Once they figured out that birth control was being used to eliminate overpopulation of Blacks, African American people began to resist. So eugenicists began to call for chemicals to be added to the water supply of urban areas. In 1969, it was considered during a UN meeting. If the plan had been implemented, couples would have to apply to the government to become parents, and they would be given an antidote to the chemicals that had been added to their food and water.

In a letter to Clarence Gamble from 1939, Margaret Sanger wrote, "The minister's work is also important and also he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." He was an heir to the Proctor and Gamble fortune and a backer financially of Margaret Sanger. He himself said, "For every one man or woman who has been sterilized, there are 40 others who can continue to pour defective genes into the State's blood..."

Clarence Gamble was the heir to the Proctor and Gamble fortune, and he founded Pathfinder International in 1957. This organization focuses on reproductive health, family planning, HIV/AIDS prevention and care. Pathfinder operates family planning and reproductive health programs in more than 25 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America In 1996, Pathfinder received the UN Population Award. In 1928, he opened a women's clinic in Cincinnati, OH. He worked closely with Margaret Sanger, in order to gain acceptance of the birth control movement in the United States. In addition to being a millionaire, he was a Harvard trained doctor. During the 1930's, he was president and delegate-at-large of the Pennsylvania Birth Control Federation; state delegate, one of five vice-presidents, and member of the Executive Committee of the Board of the American Birth Control League; medical field director of Margaret Sanger’s Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau; and treasurer and member of the board of Robert Dickinson’s National Committee on Maternal Health.

They began to recruit ministers to push the Planned Parenthood agenda and gave them sermons to preach. They did things like hold contests for the minister who could write the best pro-eugenics sermon.
