My government outlawed that "for the children".
FIGHT THE POWER
There's the suspicion that some of us have, those who try to be "nice" most of the time, that we'll get forced into some final "not nice" acts. Some just aren't the type that will turn the other cheek, since our first experience with that didn't work.
And those "Politicians" know it.
Wow, what a great article!
She lost me right there.
These threads have an impact. Believe me.
Trust me ... folks have lived -- and triumphed -- under far worse conditions. This is merely a perfecting of the same old tyranny.
It's a Kinder, Gentler, Clean Hands sort of totalitarianism with plenty of down and dirty animal fun and sating of passions to make the inmates feel like they're living.
And most will. With enough Prozac or other drugs churned out in earnest to quell the death of their soul ... they'll proudly defend their atheism, their atomism, their righteous and bold staring with hopeful anticipation into the void wherein someday will live eternally in perfect health and intellection stimulation the Uber-Men.
And with all emphasis on protecting the really essential choices -- like whether to kill your child or pull the plug on your parents or get someone to help you off yourself -- most will also feel they've more "freedom" than ever.
For they don't understand that restraint is the better part of freedom and they fail to notice somehow that the primary targets of population control is -- quite literally -- PREVENTING the birth of a new soul. Every prevented life, every destroyed life is a VICTORY for those who would control our every move.
Back in my youth, I actually told my third sister upon her wedding that I hoped -- if she felt she HAD to have children -- that she would please limit herself to two. She now has three kids and, judging from the bliss that is their childhood and the substantive heart and conscience she's instilling in each -- they shall be heat-seeking stealth missiles of the highest order ... men and women who stand for what's right, refuse to back down, exercise true human charity and spark the souls of others.
In 1977 Robert McNamara, as head of the World Bank, saw in population growth the "gravest issue" short of nuclear war and in a particularly prophetic statement lamented that the decisions that had led to this growth were "not in the exclusive control of a few governments but rather in the literally hundreds of millions of individual parents who will determine the outcome."This is not to say that population control has made no headway in Asia. Pushed incessantly by figures like the World Bank's McNamara, the idea that nations could become rich only if they moved to control their population rates became an article of faith among Western and Western- educated intellectuals in Asia-a faith backed up by aid dollars linked to the willingness of recipient countries to develop control measures. In the Philippines, for example, the U.S. Agency for International Development obtained a provision in the Marcos-era constitution granting the state authority over population levels. The Western missionary fervor once directed at Christianizing Asia has been channeled, in the second half of the twentieth century, into proselytizing for fewer Asians. -Population and the Wealth of Nations
Of course, the World Bank is not technically a US government office. But before joining the World Bank, this fellow was none other than Robert S. MacNamara, US Secretary of Defense.
"Abortion is Vital to the Solution" ... A Key Point from Kissinger's NSSM-200
I think it's a grave defeat of hope to think for a moment the unborn are better off dead than alive ... regardless how some of us -- citizens of the most blessed and spoiled populace the planet's ever seen -- are feeling the pinch of the Police State that most citizens are cheering with all due enthusiasm.
I always wanted to be "queen for a day" and with just my "common sense" straighten up the school system, get rid of the NEArts, boot the liars out of our gov't . . . do all the common sense things that the so-called "experts", those who are more educated than I, have screwed up for the rest of us.
Great article. Thanks for posting it.
You know, if I found out I was dying in a few months, I would make some sort of last farewell smack in the face to those who would enslave us all... read into that what you will.
