I'm not really that interested in population control. Not because I don't think it's a real concern but because I think those interested in Eugenics are for now concentrating on Third World countries and the US isn't in the loop. So I have to focus on my concerns which are for my country. However, I am adamantly against population control that isn't voluntary. If you'd like to be smart and have 1 or 2, even 3 children, fine. If you want to breed a brood of 10 that's also your business but in today's world it doesn't seem very practical or intelligent to me. Still, forced population control is criminal even in Third World countries and perhaps even more so since it requires a mindset that you're preventing the poor and ignorant from reproducing to benefit the well educated and wealthy, which to me is absurd. I also want to mention that I've been defensive of Gates on more then one occasion and may have spoke too soon.
Here's the latest info on GMO corn being developed to control birth rates in Third World Countries.
GMO crops have never been proven safe for human or
animal consumption. Moreover, they are inherently genetically ‘unstable as they are an unnatural product of introducing a foreign bacteria such as Bacillus Thuringiensis (Bt) or other material into the DNA of a given seed to change its traits.
Perhaps equally dangerous are
the ‘paired’ chemical herbicides sold as a mandatory part of a GMO contract, such as Monsanto’s Roundup, the most widely used such herbicide in the world. It contains highly toxic glyphosate compounds that have been independently tested and proven to exist in toxic concentrations in GMO applications far above that safe for humans or animals. Tests show that tiny amounts of glyphosate compounds would do damage to a human umbilical, embryonic and placental cells in a pregnant woman drinking the ground water near a GMO field.
One long-standing project of the US Government
has been to perfect a genetically-modified variety of corn, the diet staple in Mexico and many other Latin American countries. The corn has been field tested in tests financed by the US Department of Agriculture along with a small California bio-tech company named Epicyte. Announcing his success at a 2001 press conference, the president of Epicyte, Mitch Hein, pointing to his GMO corn plants, announced, “We have a hothouse filled with corn plants that make anti-sperm antibodies.”
Hein explained that they had taken antibodies from women with a rare condition known as immune infertility, isolated the genes that regulated the manufacture of those infertility antibodies, and, using genetic engineering techniques, had inserted the genes into ordinary corn seeds used to produce corn plants. In this manner, in reality they produced a concealed contraceptive embedded in corn meant for human consumption. “Essentially, the antibodies are attracted to surface receptors on the sperm,” said Hein. “They latch on and make each sperm so heavy it cannot move forward. It just shakes about as if it was doing the lambada.”
Hein claimed it was a possible solution to world “over-population.”
The moral and ethical issues of feeding it to humans in poor Third World countries without their knowing it he conveniently left out of his remarks. Spermicides hidden in GMO corn provided to starving Third World populations through the generosity of the Gates’ foundation, Rockefeller Foundation and Kofi Annan’s AGRA or vaccines that contain undisclosed sterilization agents are just two documented cases of using vaccines or GMO seeds to “reduce population.”
These are gruesome and damning revelations and none of us should take them lightly. I would suggest that although these measures might be applied today to poor Third World countries with the consent of their governments and not the people the elite will still be allowed to produce and these policies may eventually drift across the ocean to the USA.
