'Global 2000' gang calls for
genocide against China and India Author - Kathy Wolfe and L. Wolfe The elite Population Crisis Committee in Washington released two major reports Sept. 14, attacking "overpopulation" in China and India, and calling, in effect, for the genocide of 1.5 billion Chinese and Indians. The reports are a
major new policy assessment by the Anglo-Saxon oligarchy
of world population after the collapse of communism. They
complain that even Beijing's brutal one-child-per-family policy has failed to control China's population; that communism
in China is on its last legs, with vast implications for world
population; and that India is surpassing, even China in growth
rates. "All this is good news for normal humans who love people,
but not for the Population Crisis Committee (PCC)." At current rates, China and India will add another 1.5 billion to the
world'.s population before growth levels off," and this must
be prevented, the PCC reports say. "China and India, with a
combined population of more than 2 billion people, are the
key to the future size of world population," the accompanying press release states. "Together they account for more
than one-third of the 92 million people added to the [world]
population each year." The PCC complains, shockingly, about their discovery
that China has not actually met the one-child goal set up in
1971. "The effectiveness of China's family planning has
been routinely overstated," PCC Senior Vice President Sharon Camp told the press Sept. 14. "Most couples in China
have two to three children, not the one child cited in official
Chinese rhetoric. "
"If present trends continue, the Chinese population will
probably grow well into the 21 st century, adding at least
another half-billion people before stabilizing " at about 1.5
billion, says the PCC's new China report, "China's Family
Planning: Challenging the Myths."
"The situation is worse in India," Camp continued, since
India has never even tried a one-child policy, whereas "China's program has more successfully ... lowered family
size" since 1971.
"From a demographic standpoint, India may be the
world's most critical country," concludes the second report,
"India's Family Planning Challenge: From Rhetoric to Action." India, they warn, will reach 2 billion people before
"leveling off."

Genocide is our business
If Clinton wins the White House, the PCC gang will
control his State Department, just as it ran Jimmy Carter's
State Department under Cyrus Vance.
The PCC is no stranger to genocide in China in particular.
The PCC was founded in 1966 by Gen. William Draper, the
leading Anglophile population-reduction ideologue of the
postwar era who was closely associated with Britain's Prince
Philip and his World Wildlife Fund. With advice from Draper, PCC board member C.P. Snow worked directly with Mao
Zedong in China in the late 1960s and 1970s to implement
China's first "population experiment, " the one-child policy.
Under it, any Chinese woman pregmant with a second child
was given a forced abortion at bayonet point. In 197 5, PCC executive director Phyllis Piotrow, in her
book Six Billion People, praised China's forced abortion
program: "The most stringent family planning policies have
been those of the People's Republio of China, implemented
under strict totalitarian control, O¢casionally by coercive
measures .... Is it possible, in a world of rapidly increasing
popUlation, not to restrict some elements of freedom?"
Draper, Piotrow, and the PCC were the main advisers to
President Nixon's National SecuritYiAdviser Henry Kissinger in the drafting of his 1974 N atiomU Security Study Memorandum 200, which made it official U. S. policy that population in the Third World be severely curbed, in order to protect
U . S. access to raw materials.
Under Carter in 1976, the PCClstaffed the entire Cyrus
Vance State Department. There, they drafted the infamous
Global 2000 Report, which called for the elimination of 2
billion people by the year 2000, issQed by Vance in 1980.
Piotrow, executive director of the PCC in the 1970s, is
the chief Malthus expert for the New York Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the U.S. branch of Britain's Royal
Institute of Intemational Affairs. SiX Billion People was written for the CFR' s "Project 1980s " study in 1975, which was
the blueprint for Global 2000.
Anglophiles fear a free Chu.a
The PCC's new China report contains a bombshell: The
Anglo-American elite admits its feat that communism cannot
long survive in China, and that if China wins freedom, its
Economics 11
population will zoom. "Since restrictive government policies
have helped limit family size, China could face a rise in fertility, should current policies be relaxed. . . . [It isla program
that is not voluntary, at least in the generally understood sense
of that word. It is not at all clear that the current program could
be maintained under a democratic political system. "
The report cites as the main "danger " today, China's pre1971 baby boom. "Because of the large number of births that
occurred in the 1960s and early 1970s, the number of women
in peak childbearing years will increase over the current decade. Thus in the 1990s, China appears likely to grow by
another 160 million people-a number roughly equivalent to
the population of Brazil. "
The world outcry against China's one-child campaign
forces the new PCC report to give lip-service to world opinion. "Despite the negative publicity official Chinese population policy has generated in the U. S., the Chinese program
has many positive attributes," it says. "The most troubling
issue for most observers is the absence of true reproductive
choice in China. " The report then turns and endorses the
Beijing government's denials that there has been coercion; it
pooh-poohs all reports of forced abortions and infanticide.
Even if there were atrocities, Beijing gets results, the
PCC says! "The Chinese approach has yielded swift and
impressive results. Average family size has fallen by about
60% in just over two decades " since 1971. While the policy
arouses "intense emotional debate," the PCC insists, only
results count: "This report looks beyond the political rhetoric
of the Chinese government or its detractors, to the demographic realities " (emphasis added). The report explains
away the dramatic evidence of infanticide in China's 1990
census, which showed an unnaturally low ratio of females to
males in the Chinese population. The census demonstrated
that in the 20 years of the one-child policy, couples who have
girls often commit infanticide, until they have a son, for sons
are China's only form of social security. However, the report
lies, "recent analysis suggests the low ratio reflects significant under-reporting of female births. "
This repression, PCC complains, has now proven so unpopular and impractical, that since the mid-1980s, family
planning officials have begun to allow second children and
to ease child registration.
The report all but calls for the sterilization of new demographic groups created by China's economic crisis. "A number of important groups are under-served at present by birth
control services," it says. "These include the 70 million unregistered urban migrants, the 120 million inhabitants of the
poorest rural communities, and a growing number of sexually
active unmarried men and women, including adolescents. "
The report concludes that the "reproductive choice " which the
Chinese need, is the right to choose from a "cafeteria " of more
"popular " birth control measures. Most Chinese receive
cheap "one-shot " steel-ring IUDs or sterilization, notthe more
expensive "repeat " measures used in the West.
12 Economics
The report lastly insists that the next U.S. State Department must reverse recent Washington policy of cutting population reduction aid to China, and move to financially support
Beijing-a return to the Global 2000 program of Jimmy
Carter. 'India has no option'
The PCC' s China report is labeled "Country Study # 1,"
and the India report is "Country Study #2. " As this implies,
what is said about China is also brutally proposed as the
model for India. India, the pce stresses, is now the world's
second largest country, after China, but unless it adopts
Beijing's methods, India's population will surpass China's
and become, in this twisted view, an intolerable threat to the
Anglo-Saxon world.
The PCC clearly wants an end to the view stated by Prime
Minister Rajiv Gandhi, just before his assassination in 1990,
that "economic development is the best method of family
planning. "
"Given the magnitude of its population problem, India
does not have any other option " but draconian reductions in
birth rates, the report begins. ;
"From a demographic perspective, India may be the
world's most critical country. ltts current population of about
883 million, is growing over 2% a year. With roughly 27 million births annually, India cuntently contributes one-fifth of
total world population growth-rmore than any other country.
If present trends continue, India will surpass China as the most
populous country early in the, next century. " In particular,
the PCC is worried about the c1ilrrent number of childbearing
women: "With its young age profile and continuing increase in
women of childbearing age, India's population could exceed 2
billion before stabilizing" (emphasis in original).
The PCC's beef is that aU these young women, very
simply, are still having four to five children, while the Chinese have got it down at least to an average of two per couple
by Beijing's charming ways. "Average family size is still
about four children, almost double the 'replacement' level
of slightly over two children needed to achieve stable population," says the report, and "population stabilization remains
a distant goal. "
Singled out is northern India, where "use of modem contraception is low and family size still averages around five
children. Lagging fertility in this region, which accounts for
40% of India's population, has slowed the overall pace of
change. "
The real problem, the PCC says, is that India has dared to
decrease death rates. "Rapid population growth in India is a recent phenomenon. After centuries of minimal growth, India's
population began to increase rapidly" after independence from
Britain as a result of public health, "which contributed to a steep
decline in death rates, without a corresponding decline in birth
rates. " No doubt recent reports of1the rise of AIDS spread in India
have caused some satisfaction at the PCC.
