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. "
