Certainly not. But Birth control is not the sum total of demographic warfare either.

You haven't even an inkling, that Kissinger approved of forced abortions and / or forced birth control usage . You are attempting to tar me with a gigantic brush, and haven't the slightest idea about what any of my positions, on anything , are; except that I said that Kissinger is no Goebbles. LEARN HOW TO COMPREHEND THE WRITTEN ENGLISH WORD !
You may listen to Rush; however, you don't understand what he's saying. You have no reasoning / logic capabilities . When you don't know what you're talking about , don't post; you just look stupid by doing so. :-)
Your CCPred garbage made a lot of claims, which you attempted to backup. The birth control issue, seemingly being THE reason why we were hit on 9/11 and for all of the rest of the problems, intendent upon Islamacist fanatics. Now, you're trying to run away from that. It won't wash.
Oh? Kissinger seems to hold as much concern for the unborn as he did for the millions that suffered and died under a system he capitulated to, and deemed inevitable...Communism.
And I understand Polycarp's reasoning here. After all, any investigation into 9/11 would require one to have an appreciation of life, unless you're a heartless bastard. ;^)
You took the words right out of my mouth!
I'm curious if either of you would've said that to the author of the Conscience of the Nation?
I reckon these folks were told, and shouted at, to "get a life".
They ignored the savants, on both sides, and did their best to save lives.
Polycarp...You will have done a great injustice to the human beings that have, and will, be killed via abortion if you ever become intimidated enough to stop speaking on the Right To Life.
I'm especially sorry that some of this comes from those in the Grand Ol' Party.
While the population-control terminology used in press releases, official addresses, and in initial aid contacts with various needy nations may be encouraging and supportive, back-up measures ensuring compliance are also practised.
In a September 1998 World Bank report evaluating its "Costs, Payments, and Incentives in Family-Planning Programs," the Bank wrote about the use of "incentives" and "disincentives" on fertility choices. The report said of "incentives" that, "First, payments are made to: (a) acceptors, (b) providers, and (c) recruiters, all focused on the act of accepting a method (usually sterilization). These payments may be in cash or in kind and are usually given immediately upon acceptance."
'Disincentives'
"Disincentives" are described in the report as, "Oriented directly to fewer births, as distinct from inducements to practise contraception. Some involve benefits (or penalties) ... salary level, tax exemptions, maternity leaves, eligibility for preferred housing, schools, and so forth."
As instructed by NSSM 200, international banks have tied financial aid to the the practice of population control. A clear example comes from a 1992 evaluation paper by the World Bank discussing "Population and the World Bank" in Senegal. The report described a rural health project in the country which focused on the provision of buildings and equipment for expansion of basic health services.
The study noted that the agreement to provide the buildings and equipment was contingent on family planning. The study added that the "failure to implement this element" resulted in a stagnation of the project. The report went on to say that in 1985-1986, the Bank concentrated on helping the government develop a comprehensive population policy. As a direct result of the acceptance of the population policy (a "condition of release") the Bank released the money (called a structural-adjustment loan) needed to complete the project. "This recommendation was accepted and eventually implemented by making the development of such a policy statement a condition for release of the second tranche of the third structural-adjustment loan."
Taking into consideration that the origin of the population-control agenda stems from some of the highest echelons of U.S. political power (as evident from Kissinger's NSSM 200), it is not surprising that President Clinton refuses to fund the IMF and UN unless the monies are used to promote abortion, an essential element in population control
If your aim is to just win political races, and have braggin' rights at the local town social, or hopefully be invited to a black-tie function of an important political figure...then maybe folks like me aren't doing enough and all that we should to bring about the kind of the G.O.P. that that President Reagan envisioned, and continues to be endeavored by the one's who brought us to the dance...Mr. Falwell, Mrs. Schlafly, Mr. Buckley, et al.
Then why are you doing it here?

Look, there are MANY Republicans he could have chosen to sweep this mess under the rug- Danforth, for one, comes to mind. Why Kissinger when he is infamous as a proabort?
Why are those who oppose killing defensless unborn the ones supposed to "get a life?"
