Population

Sex sells, we are told. Sells what exactly? Well, sells more sex, mainly, which tends to result in babies.

In 1989 or thereabouts HRH the Duke of Edinburgh, member and leading spokesman for the Bilderberger Group, calculated that world population would reach seven point seven billion (seven point seven billion) by 2010, highlighting his own desire to be reincarnated as a deadly virus to reduce overpopulation.

In July 2008 the UN produced a report stating that world population had reached 6.7 billion (six point seven billion) and that the overburdened earth could not sustain a continually expanding population. It is easy to calculate that in the contest between the continually more automated slaughter machines (We now have drones that shoot hellfire missiles at a car speeding along the highway, saving our brave lads even the trouble of being in the plane) and the biological reproduction machines (aka humanity) the slaughter machines appear to be well on the Duke’s target, in fact considerably ahead of target.

On Dec. 10, 1974, the U.S. National Security Council under Henry Kissinger completed a classified 200-page study, "National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests." Dr. Henry Kissinger proposed in his memorandum to the NSC that ‘depopulation should be the highest priority of U.S. foreign policy towards the Third World.’ He quoted reasons of national security, and because `(t)he U.S. economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less-developed countries ... Wherever a lessening of population can increase the prospects for such stability, population policy becomes relevant to resources, supplies and to the economic interests of U.S.'

The study claimed that population growth in the so-called Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) was a grave threat to U.S. national security. Adopted as official policy in November 1975 by President Gerald Ford, NSSM 200 outlined a covert plan to reduce population growth in those countries through birth control, and also, implicitly, war and famine. Brent Scowcroft, who had by then replaced Kissinger as national security adviser (the same post Scowcroft was to hold in the Bush administration), was put in charge of implementing the plan. CIA Director George Bush was ordered to assist Scowcroft, as were the secretaries of state, treasury, defense, and agriculture.

Against whom are these efforts directed? Well, they are directed against all populations, including the American, but primarily against the Moslem population, comprising around twenty per cent of total world population, who happen to live where many of the most desirable resources are located.

Moslems are as often happy to take things easy as any one else, but one of their basic traditions, is Jahada, effort, more familiar in the form jihad, much traduced by the paid and unpaid hacks. Traditionally it exists in the form of the little jihad, when you grab a weapon and rush out in your night shirt to repel an attack on your community, since you have a duty to defend from obliteration the community that supports and shelters you, and the big jihad, which is making an effort to stay right with God. Jihad as I understand it means "effort" which can be spiritual or moral, and an oft-quoted phrase from the Qu'ran is jihad fi sabil Allah, effort for the sake of God. War can be one of the meanings, which is the little jihad. Scholars in the matter say the more accurate translation when jihad has the meaning of war is "just war," but jihad can be an effort to be kind to people or to give up drink, which would be the big jihad. Mujahid (one who is on jihad) is the present participle but the war idea has blocked out the other meanings. Mujtahid is from the same root and has the idea of intellectual cerebration on a religious matter. Ijtihad is the verbal noun.

The US already spends more on "Defense," i.e., the military, than all the rest of the world put together. By 1990, production for the Department of Defense amounted to 83% of the value of all manufacturing plants and equipment in the US. Only 17% of the US manufacturing base actually made products not meant to kill people and destroy property, the functions of any military, anywhere.

Senator Obama, Democratic presidential candidate, proposes greatly to increase spending on the military from present levels. He has also approved the invasion of Pakistan to winkle out Osama bin Laden, who was declared Saif’Ullah, the sword of God, by the Pakistani ‘Ulema or Council of Elders.
