Creature From Jekyll Island by G. Edward полностью

humanity itself, as the Club of Rome says, then humanity itself must become the target. Fabian Socialist Bertrand Russell1

expressed it thus:

I do not pretend that birth control is the only way in whichpopulation can be kept from increasing.... War, as I remarked amoment ago, has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, butperhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Deathcould be spread throughout the world once in every generation,survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full....

A scientific world society cannot be stable unless there is worldgovernment.... It will be necessary to find ways of preventing anincrease in world population. If this is to be done otherwise than bywars, pestilences and famines, it will demand a powerful internationalauthority. This authority should deal out the world's food to thevarious nations in proportion to their population at the time of theestablishments of the authority. If any nation subsequently increasedits population, it should not on that account receive any more food.

The motive for not increasing population would therefore be verycompelling.2

Very compelling, indeed. These quiet-spoken socialists are not kidding around. For example, one of the most visible "environmentalists" and advocate of population control is Jacques Cousteau.

Interviewed by the United Nations UNESCO Courier in November of 1991, Cousteau spelled it out. Speaking of death by cancer, he said:

Should we eliminate suffering diseases? Hie idea is beautiful, butperhaps not a benefit for the long term. We should not allow our dreadof diseases to endanger the future of our species. This is a terrible thingto say. In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it's just as badnot to say it.

GORBACHEV BECOMES AN ECOLOGY WARRIOR

We can now understand how Mikhail Gorbachev, formerly the leader of one of the most repressive governments the world has known, became head of a new organization called the International Green Cross, which supposedly is dedicated to environmental T. See Martin, pp. 171,325, 463-69.
