A Bad Idea Returns

 On Monday, I wrote about the depopulating of the earth that the WEF and others are planning.  Of course, it is to save the planet.  Some want to reduce the population from 9 billion today to 500 million world wide.  Gentle readers will see in this a disguised version of eugenics.  Eugenics, a discredited theory, was originally cast as a way to improve the human species through control of who got to reproduce, and who did not.  Naturally, certain prejudices came into play.  In America, blacks were often the cited as being "undesirable."  In Germany, Gypsies and Jews were slaughtered in the name of "improving" the race.  I can't speak to Germans, but here in America, Margaret Sanger's group, Planned Parenthood, still holds to the old prejudice.

Today, at the American Thinker, Andrea Widburg's post entitled Climate Eugenics describes how the old, discredited theory of eugenics is hiding in plain sight as "climate change." Instead of saving the human race, now you are saving the planet. But just as no matter whether the climate is warming or is cooling, the solution is getting rid of fossil fuels, for eugenisist, the only solution is killing. And getting rid of fossil fuels will kill a great number of us, because so called "renewables" will not be able to supply even current levels of electricity.

Suppose the world was in the grip of an Armageddon-type crisis with the finest scientific minds from around the world working at a feverish pitch in an international collaborative effort to find a solution. So much so that medical and scientific journals were dedicated to keeping pace with the latest developments. No, I’m not talking about climate change. I’m talking about eugenics, the early 20th-century belief that there were too many of the wrong people in the world. One hundred years on, though, eugenics has fused with climate change for the perfect anti-human storm.
The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, a progressive, was one of the most strident supporters of this new theory. Financial support poured in from the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Harriman fortune. (These funds all still support progressive causes.) In 1916, Sanger established the first “birth control” clinic.
Back in that era, it was commonly believed that “the best” human beings (white, Anglo-Saxon Protestants) were not having as many children as “inferior ones,” such the immigrants from Eastern Europe and Asia, blacks, degenerates, etc. Sanger spoke of the burden of carrying the “dead weight of human waste.” President Theodore Roosevelt, the first progressive presidential candidate, declared that “Society has no business to permit degenerates to reproduce their kind.”

Eugenics was a terrible ideology and one that should never be forgotten, but the world’s “elite” loved it...

In other words, the theory that man can "improve" man as a species, despite being debunked, continues to find fertile ground in the pseudo-sophisticated minds of pretend intellectuals. These self anointed elites do not believe in God.  They believe they are in fact gods.  But a belief and trust in God would perhaps have led to better ideas on how to improve society, while recognizing that man is a fallen creature.

Today we are in the throes of another false theory, i.e. climate change and all of its ugly ramifications. In fact, the parallels between climate change and eugenics are downright ominous. The first to person to recognize these ominous parallels and candidly discuss them was the late Dr. Michael Crichton in his 2004 book State of Fear. (At the time, Crichton genuinely feared publishing State of Fear, worrying that the book’s theme, which challenged climate change dogma, could get him killed.
Despite climate change theories being debunked as fast as they are propounded, the true believers make sure they won’t go away. They hide behind the word “unprecedented.” Everything that’s happened before on planet Earth—heat waves, drought, rain, wildfires, storms—is unprecedented, making it beyond challenge and justifying draconian, anti-human policies.

Gentle readers are encouraged to read the whole post.
