WORLD DEPOPULATION IS TOP NSA
AGENDA: CLUB OF ROME
A Timely Repost:
The Haig-Kissinger depopulation policy by Lonnie Wolfe
Special Report EIR (Executive Intelligence Review) March 10, 1981
Investigations by EIR have uncovered a planning apparatus operating
outside the control of the White House whose sole purpose is to reduce the
world's population by 2 billion people through war, famine, disease and any
other means necessary. This apparatus, which includes various levels of the
government is determining U.S. foreign policy. In every political hotspot -- El
Salvador, the so-called arc of crisis in the Persian Gulf, Latin America,
Southeast Asia and in Africa- the goal of U.S. foreign policy is population
reduction. The targeting agency for the operation is the National Security
Council's Ad Hoc Group on Population Policy. Its policy-planning group is in the
U.S. State Department's Office of Population Affairs, established in 1975 by
Henry Kissinger. This group drafted the Carter administration's Global 2000
document, which calls for global population reduction, and the same apparatus is
conducting the civil war in El Salvador as a conscious depopulation
project.
"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," all of which might occur in
El Salvador. Ferguson's OPA monitors populations in the Third World and maps
strategies to reduce them. Its budget for FY 1980 was $190 million; for FY 198l,
it will be $220 million. The Global 2000 report calls for doubling that figure.
The sphere of Kissinger In 1975, OPA was brought under a reorganized State
Department Bureau of Oceans, International Environmental, and Scientific
Affairs-- a body created by Henry Kissinger.
The agency was assigned to
carry out the directives of the NSC Ad Hoc Group. According to an NSC spokesman,
Kissinger initiated both groups after discussion with leaders of the Club of
Rome during the 1974 population conferences in Bucharest and Rome. The Club of
Rome, controlled by Europe's black nobility, is the primary promotion agency for
the genocidal reduction of world population levels. The Ad Hoc Group was given
"high priority" by the Carter administration, through the intervention of
National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and Secretaries of State Cyrus
Vance and Edmund Muskie.
According to OPA expert Ferguson, Kissinger
initiated a full about-face on U.S. development policy toward the Third World.
"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.
"We will go
into a country," said Ferguson, "and say, here is your goddamn development plan.
Throw it out the window. Start looking at the size of your population and figure
out what must be done to reduce it."If you don't like that, if you don't want to
choose to do it through planning, then you'll have an El Salvador or an Iran, or
worse, a Cambodia."According to an NSC spokesman, the United States now shares
the view of former World Bank President Robert McNamara that the "population
crisis" is a greater threat to U.S. national security interests than "nuclear
annihilation." "Every hot spot in the world corresponds to a population crisis
point," said Ferguson who would rename Brzezinski's arc of crisis doctrine the
"arc of population crisis."
This is corroborated by statements in
the NSC Ad Hoc Group's April 1980 report. There is "an increased potential for
social unrest, economic and political instability, mass migration and possible
international conflicts over control of land and resources," says the NSC
report. It then cites "demographic pressures" as key to understanding "examples
of recent warfare in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, El Salvador. Honduras, and
Ethiopia, and the growing potential forinstability in such places as Turkey, the
Philippines, Central America, Iran, and Pakistan." Through extraordinary
efforts, the Ad Hoc Group and OPA estimate that they may be able to keep a
billion people from being born through contraceptive programs.
But as
the Ad Hoc Group's report states, the best efforts of the Shah of Iran to
institute "clean programs" of birth control failed to make a significant dent in
the country's birth rate. The promise of jobs, through an ambitious
industrialization program, encouraged migration toward "overcrowded cities" like
Teheran. Now under Ayatollah Khomeini, the "clean programs" have been
dismantled. The government may make progress because it has a program "to induce
up to half of Teheran's 6 million residents to relocate, as well as possible
measures to keep rural migrants from moving to the cities." Behind the back of
the President Ferguson and others involved with the OPA and NSC group maintain
that the United States will continue a foreign policy based on a genocidal
reduction of the world's population.
"We have a network in place of
cothinkers in the government," said the OPA case officer. "We keep going, no
matter who is in the White House." But Ferguson reports that the "White House"
does not really understand what they are saying and that the President "thinks
that population policy means how do we speed up population increase. "As long as
no one says differently," said Ferguson, "we will continue to do our jobs.
