Environment News Encore: Elites choose Eugenics over Conservation

by Paul Chen

People who are concerned about the environment, have ignored the fact that elites are just as concerned about the Earth's dwindling resources. Elites just show their concern in a different way. Many people, including activist groups, seek to lobby elites to support conservation initiatives, that are sometimes linked to "sustainable development". Elites have sought to support certain 'conservation' plans, as public relations gestures. But, elites agree that 'conservation' as a basis of building a whole society, just gets in the way of a drive for achieving insatiable commercial profits and power. Instead, elites have tended to favour eugenics. This has historically encompassed "population control" or a "depopulation" agenda, that is often linked to the social Darwinian notion of "only the fittest should survive".

Lonnie Wolfe, in a Special Report of the Executive Intelligence Review (EIN) that was published 25 June 2000, documented a eugenics agenda to "reduce the world's population by 2 billion people through war, famine, disease and any other means necessary."

EIN also documents that Global 2000 is a document, that was officially authorized in 1976, under the then President Jimmy Carter administration, which "calls for global population reduction, and the same apparatus is conducting the civil war in El Salvador as a conscious depopulation project."

The EIN report then elaborated the following:

"There is a single theme behind all our work-we must reduce population levels," said Thomas Ferguson, the Latin American case officer for the State Department's Office of Population Affairs (OPA). "Either they [governments] do it our way, through nice clean methods or they will get the kind of mess that we have in El Salvador, or in Iran, or in Beirut. Population is a political problem.

Once population is out of control it requires authoritarian government, even fascism, to reduce it "The professionals," said Ferguson, "aren't interested in lowering population for humanitarian reasons. That sounds nice.

We look at resources and environmental constraints. We look at our strategic needs, and we say that this country must lower its population-or else we will have trouble. So steps are taken. El Salvador is an example where our failure to lower population by simple means has created the basis for a national security crisis. The government of El Salvador failed to use our programs to lower their population. Now they get a civil war because of it... There will be dislocation and food shortages. They still have too many people there."

Civil wars are somewhat drawn-out ways to reduce population, the OPA official added. "The quickest way to reduce population is through famine, like in Africa or through disease like the Black Death."

"For a long time," Ferguson stated, "people here were timid" They listened to arguments from Third World leaders that said that the best contraceptive was economic reform and development. So we pushed development programs, and we helped create a population time bomb.

"We are letting people breed like flies without allowing for natural causes to keep population down. We raised the birth survival rates, extended life-spans by lowering death rates, and did nothing about lowering birth rates. That policy is finished. We are saying with Global 2000 and in real policy that you must lower population rates. Population reduction and control is now our primary policy objective -- then you can have some development."

Accordingly, the Bureau of Oceans, International Environmental, and Scientific Affairs has consistently blocked industrialization policies in the Third World, denying developing nations access to nuclear energy technology -- the policies that would enable countries to sustain a growing population. According to State Department sources, and Ferguson himself, Alexander Haig is a "firm believer" in population control.

In the apparent view of ruling elites, people who seek to develop a "New Economy" based upon 'conservation', are unrealistic. Furthermore, elites have no interest in having their dominant position of power threatened by contemplating the development of a more equitable political economy. Elites view the world as being theirs for the taking, and as inheritors of the Earth, the masses are overpopulating the planet. Eugenics in the view of the elites is a "common sense" method, to free-up the dwindling resources of planet Earth to "racially inferior stocks" of human gene pools.
