The Noble Lie

I try to devote a little bit of time every day to either reading or researching on the web. My latest topic has been the forced sterilization of Native American women in this country.

These sterilizations were done under the auspices of the Indian Health Service, in the name of public health. Jane Lawrence documented the stories of many Natives in her American Indian Quarterly article, "The Indian Health Service and the Sterilization of Native American women." This happened in the latter part of the 20th century, not hundreds of years ago.

A University of Omaha masters student also tackled the topic, examining it in light of other sterilization and eugenics programs in the public health system at the time.

Cecil of the Straight Dope doesn't buy this figure. He's a debunker, and he's ready to debunk this question from a reader. He makes a reasonable argument, but knowing a bit about Native American issues, I have to make a few points here.

• His first argument, and the one that concerns me the most, is that he thinks the number is inflated due to the utter shock and horror of such a revelation. Any student of 20th century history (or anybody that lived through it) knows that shocking, horrible, inhuman, monstrous things happened quite frequently in human events. Native Americans have borne the brunt of more than their share of atrocities in this country.
• His second argument is that Native American population figures have been going up, not down. Clearly his best argument, but people should realize that the definition of Native American (or Indian as the government refers to them) has changed time and time again over the years. Many Natives were not "in the system" until recently, less likely to be born in hospitals, less likely to have birth certificates, and less likely to have accurate population counts. Also, many Natives are fighting to get their Indian status back from the government as a result of a number of Termination acts which stripped them of their tribal status, especially in California. Establishing your tribal identity takes many, many years and a ridiculous amount of documentation, much of which doesn't exist for reasons I mentioned above. However, more and more tribes have been taking on this task and restoring their tribal status.
• He writes, "The GAO didn't find that the women had been coerced but did find the IHS guilty of sloppy paperwork--consent forms didn't comply with Health, Education and Welfare regulations, and management and record keeping were inadequate." I haven't seen these Health, Education and Welfare regulations, but I would hope these regulations exist to establish and clarify what constitutes "consent," and the lack of such documentation means there was no consent. Also, one must take into account that this is the tone the GAO uses when reporting all findings. They go into specific violations of specific rules. They're not going to come out and say "liar, liar, pants on fire" or "murderers!!"
• His next argument is to cite the Indian Health Service's own statistics. Oy vey. Did they compile those statistics from their "sloppy paperwork?" Even if they are honest about their own atrocities, it doesn't matter how small the number is. Even if it's just one person, forcible sterilization is an atrocity.

This was found on AfroVideo. It's in 8 parts, which I usually can't abide, but this is a great video which I haven't found anywhere else. Harriet Washington talks in great detail about her book, which I have just started reading.

Here is a quote from "Of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress upon Human life and Thought," a rather frightening piece of globalist propaganda written by none other than the famous author and socialist H.G. Wells.

"The ethical system which will dominate the world state will be shaped primarily to favor beautiful and strong bodies, clear and powerful minds, and to check the procreation of base and servile types.  The new ethics will hold life to be a privilege and a responsibility, and the alternative in right conduct between living fully, beautifully, and efficiently will be to die.  The men of the New Republic will have little pity and less benevolence.  They will hold that a certain portion of the population exists only on sufferance and on the understanding that they do not propagate, and I do not foresee any reason to suppose that they will not hesitate to kill when that sufferance is abused.  The men of the New Republic will not be squeamish ether in facing or inflicting death.  They will have an ideal that will make killing worth the while.  They will have the faith to kill.  If deterrent punishments are used at all in the code of the future the deterrent will be good scientifically-caused pain."

Since it seems we're now at the time of New World Order or Bust, we should be reading up a bit more on what we're facing. First, another by Wells titled "The Open Conspiracy," outlining the composition and morality of the New World Order. Next, a more occult work, The Externalization of the Heirarchy by Theosophist Alice Bailey, describing the establishment of the New World Order and the emergence of the "Hidden Masters."

This is a Democracy Now interview with Harriet Washington M.D. author of Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present."

Updated with some remarks below.

UPDATE: Polly made two wonderful comments and I want to highlight some of the points for those who can't be bothered to read the whole thing.

• Such stupidity about the "differences" between blacks and whites by the medical establishment can not be simply boiled down to stupid racism, but a callous, conscious social program to perpetuate a permanent slave class with no rights.
• J. Marion Sims, the father of modern gynecology, did all of his medical experimentation on black slaves. He wanted to remove the jawbone of one slave (for a medical experiment) who did not consent, and so he tied the man down to a bar stool and performed the operation with no anesthesia. He learned many medical techniques experimenting on black slave women without anesthesia, which were later performed for profit on white women with anesthesia. He was later made president of the American Medical Association and a statue was built in his honor in Central Park.
• Prison inmates were a regular and steady source of medical experimentation subjects up to pretty much the present day. Some of the horrible medical experiments done for Big Pharma and the cosmetics industry are documented in the book "Acres of Skin" by Allen Hornblum.
• We eject people from the public arena for the most petty reasons (for example, the Howard Dean "scream"), and then we wonder why we're run by a bunch of psychopaths.
  

So, what's the big deal about Genetically Modified Organisms, anyway? Why is it so damn important that I get that GMO-salad-in-a-bag instead of a local organic salad or, as I did for the first time last year, from greens pulled out of my own back yard? I know food contamination is all over the TV every other day, but as tragic as these cases are, we're talking about a few hundred people in the most high-profile cases.

Yes, money and market share is a huge motivator, and enough by itself. But, knowing what we do about the agenda and connectedness of the military-industrial-scientific-agricultural-pharmaceutical complex, what other nefarious goals might be on their minds? While I was digging around the web looking for more information on Monsanto, I stumbled across this page about spermicidal corn and population control. She cites the following two chilling articles -

From Brooklyn Skeptic:

Thank you CASFS Blog:

A small California biotech company, Epicyte, in 2001 announced the development of genetically engineered corn which contained a spermicide which made the semen of men who ate it sterile. At the time Epicyte had a joint venture agreement to spread its technology with DuPont and Syngenta, two of the sponsors of the Svalbard Doomsday Seed Vault. Epicyte was since acquired by a North Carolina biotech company. Astonishing to learn was that Epicyte had developed its spermicidal GMO corn with research funds from the US Department of Agriculture, the same USDA which, despite worldwide opposition, continued to finance the development of Terminator technology, now held by Monsanto. More here.

From AlterNet:

A more severe case of genetic contamination is taking place in Mexico, where the presence of GM corn has been documented since 2001. It continues to show up in rural farming communities, both peasant and indigenous, sown by small farmers who are not aware of the transgenic threat; and it is proliferating rapidly, across wild and mixed varieties, in spite of the Mexican government's ban on transgenic crops, in effect since 1998. This contamination deeply concerns environmentalists, scientists and farmers, since Mexico is the cradle of corn and axis of its diversity, rendering the long term consequences on the environment and human health uncertain.

In Mexico, people are distressed by the possibility that biopharmaceutical corn could be introduced in the country. Silvia Ribeiro, of the ETC organization, expresses great annoyance about the California-based company Epicyte, which ostentatiously declared having developed a spermicidal corn to be used as a contraceptive.

Ribeiro stated in La Jornada: "The potential of spermicidal corn as a biological weapon is outrageous, since it easily interbreeds with other varieties, is capable of going undetected and could lodge itself at the very core of indigenous and farming cultures. We have witnessed the execution of repeated sterilization campaigns performed against indigenous communities. This method is certainly much more difficult to trace."

Another jaw-dropping news story on the eugenics front:

Make Way for Designer Babies - MSNBC

Want a baby with blonde hair and green eyes? No problem.

A Los Angeles fertility clinic is offering a new service that would allow couples to choose their baby's physical traits, including eye and hair color, the BBC reported.

The LA Fertility Institutes said it has already received half a dozen requests for the service and expects the first designer baby to be born next year.

"I would not say this is a dangerous road," Jeff Steinberg, director of the clinic, told the BBC. "It's an uncharted road."

But as the Wall Street Journal reported in February, the demand is out there:

In a recent U.S. survey of 999 people who sought genetic counseling, a majority said they supported prenatal genetic tests for the elimination of certain serious diseases. The survey found that 56% supported using them to counter blindness and 75% for mental retardation.

More provocatively, about 10% of respondents said they would want genetic testing for athletic ability, while another 10% voted for improved height. Nearly 13% backed the approach to select for superior intelligence, according to the survey conducted by researchers at the New York University School of Medicine.

The new service has sparked debate within the global medical community, raising huge questions about the ethics of genetic enhancement.

My response: uncharted road my ass.

USDA Grade "A" Sheeple

Toxic chemicals in many of our products are making men sterile in developed nations. Is this eugenics? It's worth mentioning that studying the eugenics/population control agenda and studying the giants of the chemical industry (like Dow) leads to many intersections. The New Man is not only becoming more sterile, but he is becoming biologically more feminized. Bisphenol A has been in the news quite a bit recently, but that is the tip of the iceberg of this important and rarely-discussed issue.

This is more important than carbon dioxide. It needs more attention.

As an aside, notice where they stuck the Indian reservation -- yup, by all the toxic chemical plants. That's always been the way it has been done. In the past, all the good land was rounded up by the US Gov't while the Indians were put on reservations where the land was poor, near swamps, with cramped, packed-in populations, and suffered from other conditions that help disease to spread. This was not done on accident, any more than the distribution of Smallpox-infected blankets.

This is the best video I've found on an issue which to me is more important even than the economic crisis. Very handily, citing all of the sources I would cite if I were to make such a film (my video-editing talents are nil), this video properly ties together the Eugenics movement and Transhumanism. I already own most of the books mentioned in this video and have at least perused the military and NSF documents that are mentioned. I am familiar with pretty much all of the name. To be honest, I've been waiting haplessly for somebody to put this all together in a digestible video format. I'm glad he even added some of the old alchemical hermaphroditic art.

THIS is the endgame: the hive mind, and genetically engineering new types of humans. The economic crisis, and the rioting that will follow, the ever-present depression of our age, our love of quick-fix scientific solutions to perennial human problems, our worship of experts and complete lack of faith in ourselves, our disdain for individualistic people or those with fixed belief systems ("outdated" religions for example), all encouraged by mass media and culture, are all drivers towards this solution. The battle for money is but one front in the ever-ongoing war for the mind. I don't believe that any sort of global mass depopulations/cullings will happen until this technology is firmly in place. Once this technology is firmly in place, it is game over for what we know as humanity. If you think television, pop culture, and anti-depressants turn off people's brains and makes us apathetic, wait until they have a networked silicon chip in our wetware.

Especially if you've watched Zeitgeist: Addendum and its presentation of The Venus Project, please supplement it with this video. This is the real collectivist techno-utopia. Remember, it's the people provoking the pressure in society that also funded all the research into eugenics, bioethics, cracking the genome, transhumanism, human-machine synthesis, and all of the beautiful new technologies on the horizon. They want to save humanity from its own unhappiness -- unhappiness which is in large part deliberately created.

I echo the message of this movie - human consciousness is sacred and worth saving, in its current state, not some "oneness" or computerized "global hive mind." If I could sum of the goal of this site in a sentence, that would be it. It is such a brief and precious thing that were are alive on this planet to behold existence. We can have individual points of view, see through propaganda and cultural norms, look at the same facts and draw our own unique conclusions from them. Conscious thought, with all its flaws, is humanity's one and only unique gift, which should NEVER be given away at ANY price, no matter how much we might want to give it up when the sadness of life is too great to bear.

You might also want to take a quick read of this good analysis, that brings Malthus into the picture as well: Influence of Malthus and Darwin on the European Elite.

Here's an article about a historically prominent American eugenicist. At least, the first couple of pages are, before it kind of rambles off into an abortion discussion. Abortion is a touchy issue but cannot be avoided in a discussion of eugenics.

Did mother of free love urge selective breeding?

Planned Parenthood founder, radical socialist, feminist and birth-control advocate Margaret Sanger is said to have made a valuable contribution to humanity. Why, then, do some call her 'Hitler in a skirt?

Margaret Sanger, the feminist champion credited with creating the term "birth control," arrived in the world at a time when sexual activity meant the begetting of children. She left it, after a highly controversial lifelong crusade, a world more accepting of sexual intercourse as recreation.

Margaret Sanger's Proposed American Baby Code

Published in American Weekly Magazine, 1934

Article 1. The purpose of the American Baby Code should be to provide for a better distribution of babies. to assist couples who wish to prevent overproduction of offspring and thus to reduce the burden of charity and taxation for public relief and to protect society against the propagation and increase of the unfit.

Article 2. Birth control clinics shall be permitted to function as services of government health departments or under the support of charity, or as nonprofit, self-sustaining agencies subject to inspection and control by public authorities.

Article 3. A marriage license shall in itself give husband and wife only the right to a common household and not the right to parenthood.

Article 4. No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child, no man shall have the right to become a father, without a permit for parenthood.

Article 5. Permits for parenthood shall be issued by government authorities to married couples upon application, providing the parents are financially able to support the expected child, have the qualifications needed for proper rearing of the child, have no transmissible diseases, and on the woman's part no indication that maternity is likely to result in death or permanent injury to health.

Article 6. No permit for parenthood shall be valid for more than one birth.

Article 7. Every county shall be assisted administratively by the state in the effort to maintain a direct ratio between the county birth rate and its index of child welfare. When the county records show an unfavorable variation from this ratio the county shall be taxed by the State.... The revenues thus obtained shall be expended by the State within the given county in giving financial support to birth control....

Article 8. Feeble-minded persons, habitual congenital criminals, those afflicted with inheritable diseases, and others found biologically unfit should be sterilized or in cases of doubt should be isolated as to prevent the perpetuation of their afflictions by breeding.
