DID YOU KNOW OUR US DEPARTMENT OF STATE HAD A POPULATION AFFAIR?
I DIDN'T --UNTIL THIS TURNED UP DURING MY RESEARCH:
"There is a single theme behind all our work - we must reduce population levels. Either governments do it our way, through nice clean methods, or they will get the kinds 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…."
“Our program in El Salvador didn’t work.
The infrastructure was not there to support it. There were just too goddamned many people….
To really reduce population, quickly, you have to pull all the males into the fighting and you have to kill significant numbers of fertile age females…." The quickest way to reduce population is through famine, like in Africa, or through disease like the Black Death….
