Recommendations of the Task Force on Earth Resources and Population (George H. Bush, Chairman)

Congressional Record | July 8, 1970 | George H. Bush's Task Force

[Askel5]

Your tax dollars helped pay for that, Askel5.

I still am in awe over the way Bush's DOUBLING of the NIH's budget didn't merit any particular outrage whatsoever around here.

Naturally, if you listen to the words they use in the posts above, you realize this is a revolution from above.

monkey's metaphor about the State's big stick being most apropos.

[Askel5]

THANK YOU for the additional post.

Though, what with it's being even two years older than the first, it likely will mean even less to our listeners (if any).

Since you mentioned Humanae Vitae, I thought I'd throw in Bush's disappointment with the "recent encyclical."

[Askel5]

Are you talking about the Pope's clarifying his statement to Bush (based on the 1995 Encyclical) that removed all doubt as to a loophole for the R&D use of embryos ostensibly created for use as Children but part of the expected Excess?

Or did I miss something?

[toenail]

Humanae Vitae was issued on July 25, 1968.

This Congressional Record entry is from five days later -- July 30, 1968.

[Askel5]

Aaah ... gotcha. (It's so confusing with so many Bush's running around, is it not? Let's hope they come up with some appealingly Hispanic distinction for Bush III.)

I really must do a couple of posts from Dr. Jones' "Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control". Quite the page-turner. (And he gave me permission long ago to post whatever I wished though I still owe him a favor as well which diplomacy has prevented my fulfilling. Now must be the time to let 'er rip.)

Were it not for my read of Randy Engel's "McHugh Chronicles" and Anne Roche Muggeridge's "Desolate City: Revolution in the Catholic Church" ... I'd have been totally unprepared for the shocking and sorrowful facts Jones covers in detail.

Thanks again for the posts, Toenail. As we X-File sorts like to say: The Truth is Out There.

In the Congressional Record, among other places. =)

[Askel5]

The Rockefeller Foundation, working in Mexico, has developed something known as miracle wheat, which might be able to take up where the fastly diminishing supply of American grain runs out. And both Rockefeller and Ford, operating through the International Rice Institute in the Philippines, have developed a miracle rice-IR-8-which if produced on a huge scale will do much to save millions of Asians from starvation.

Ever heard of "Miracle Wheat" or "miracle Rice-IR-8"?

"...Bush's DOUBLING of the NIH's budget didn't merit any particular outrage whatsoever around here."

Was this after 9/11?

[Askel5]

Given his language about the NIH's much needed "anti-terrorism" efforts, I'm guessing yes.

[Pistias]

What we now need is a cheap, safe mechanism in which failure to use contraceptives would result in failure to conceive, rather than the present situation, which is the other way around--failure results in conception.

Thanks. You now hold the Scaring the Sh!t out of Pistias Award for 2002. Your prize will be arriving shortly.

[Pistias]

I mean that our understanding of living things is now so comprehensive that we should Soon be able to apply that information to human affairs, in order to improve the condition of man.

From pride, from pride, our very reas’ning springs;
Account for moral, as for nat’ral things:
Why charge we Heav’n in those, in these acquit?
In both, to reason right is to submit.

[toenail]

It's thirty years old, and they've been working on it for that long.

But what an enticing offer: "Listen, nobody likes abortion. Nobody wants their daughters impregnated by a rapist, or anyone else, until she's ready. The school-based health clinic will provide free immunizations against sperm. It's just a safety precaution, mind you, and we're not condoning sexual activity one way or the other. During and after college, the immunization is renewed free of charge. If she'd like the immunization reversed, she just needs to file a statement of intent with the local health department and provide adequate documentation that she's financially, physically, and psychologically prepared to have a child. That's all she has to do. No unwanted babies. No abortions. Deal?"

Considering the immense changes that have occurred in the last thirty years, I don't think this scenario's too far off the mark.

[Pistias]

Indeed. Skip one generation, and sperm immunity can be made a heritable trait requiring a suppressant or gene therapy to reverse upon receipt of a Procreation License. Or just get one designed, grown, and impregnated at the local clinic.

A crying shame we can't attribute these quotes to some Democrat and thereby focus much-needed attention on the truth about our Government

Here's a good one from one of your faves, E Michael Jones:

"...in November of 1964...Rockefeller and Bernard Berelson traveled to Washington seeking an audience with Lyndon Baines Johnson. What they got was a meeting with Dean Rusk, secretary of state under John F.Kennedy, and the Rockefeller operative who had pulled the plug on Kinsey when Kinsey's sex surveys became a matter of public embarrassment in the wake of the Reece hearings. Through Rusk's ministrations, a sentence was inserted into Johnson's January 4, 1965, State of the Union message, in which the president announced to the world that he would "seek new ways to use our knowledge to help deal with the explosion in world population and the growing scarcity in world resources." Rockefeller's biographers see the statement as "a decisive turning point "in changing the public's aversion to contraception and paving the way for the government's involvement in disseminating at first information about contraception and then the contraceptives themselves. pg.433, Libido Dominandi

It's not exactly a killer quote, but public statements had to be more veiled in 1965 before Griswald vs. Connecticut and the sexual revelution generally. Wouldn't LBJ's statement be the first public expression of the elite's intentions?

Also, it seems to me that Rusk, McNamara, et al. would have been more than happy to implement the ideas uttered be JHW Bush, but weren't in power circa 1970 when it was possible to implement effective policies. Rusk et al. were perfectly willing and able, but the GOP won the election and beat them to it.

Am also in total agreement that real pro-life action will come about through groups like ALL, Priests for Life, and I might add, Michigan RTL led by Barbara Listing. Thousands of local groups will have to provide the impetus if there's to be real change. That, plus Divine intervention, and we'll have the pro-aborts licked!!

One more thing--you know Mike? I take Celtic dancing lessons with him and his wife Ruth down at St. Pat's in South Bend on Sundays. They're kind enough to invite me over for dinner when they have guests in from out of town. I provide the "local color." He's a good man.

[Askel5]

Thanks for the excerpt! He did an amazing job, no? I like the fact you can pick it up and put it down, each chapter its own piece.

The stumbling block to my posting more of him at the moment is a long overdue promise to post something he sent me about Medjugorje. I ran into vaporlock here at my own St. Pat's when I realized I was surrounded by believers. Long story. Anyway ...

I figured he was cool but it's neat to hear that confirmed. Like Joe Sobran, he's been gracious enough to write me back when I've had a question. I think the world of him.

My cousin used to take Celtic dancing ... I'm delighted he's keeping his heart rate in fighting trim! We need his like around as long as possible. Please give him best regards and all gratitude from a devoted reader.

Michigan RTL led by Barbara Listing

... thanks for the lead, I'll add them to my resources.

Do you think man's current path- the culture of death, for example - is determined by leaders, movements, and international intrigue? Or is it determined by the human condition, playing itself out, and the aforemetioned usual suspects are riding the wave?

[ishmac]

BTW, I asked him about posting stuff from the Culture Wars website and he told me to "post away." I don't think he would mind if people posted snippets from his books. I wish more snippets from the book were available on-line. (I am among the world's worst typists--if I don't go straight to Heaven, typing will surely be one of my torments in Purgatory.)

I keep trying to get him to make the website a little more elaborate, but he's not a big fan of the internet. I'd like him to convert some of his taped presentations to .au or .wav files and post snippets of them on the site. It would give people a nice intro to his work. His tapes are awsome, I think he's a great speaker. When I suggested it, he told me that the website was mostly a way of making him bankrupt.

He does have a touch of the Luddite in him.

[ishmac]

I'm delighted he's keeping his heart rate in fighting trim!

He's an oarsman and a cyclist. He's got a shell on the St Joe river near his house and works out regularly. He also likes riding his bike From South Bend to Lake Michigan and back (about 70 miles round trip). He'll live to be 100.
