The sanctimony and hypocrisy in this video is breathtaking! Melinda Gates, a white rich woman, is all for using contraception (and abortion) to eliminate the poor in the third world. (Those people of color are so profligate in their procreation, like rabbits for heavens' sake!) But, oh no, trust her...it's not about population control over blacks and latinos. No...those third world women are telling Melinda they just don't know how they will cope feeding and clothing their children. They need Melinda's help so they can plug and drug themselves into sterility like modern rich women in the first world who want to enjoy sex without responsibility. So Melinda will come to the rescue, not addressing corrupt governments that exploit their people and make it almost impossible for the poor to earn a living wage or get an education. No, Melinda will address the real problem...too man black and brown babies...and not enough "reproductive health services" offering a smorgasbord of pills and plugs and abortion machines to solve their problems. Melinda knows what the third world needs, not clean water, antibiotics, anti-diarrhea medicines and anti-malaria drugs. (Heck, more of those messy babies might live if they did that.) But Melinda knows what they really need - contraception! And Melinda cares...she says so as she waves around those well-manicured hands...so you just gotta believe her. And she'll gladly instruct the pope on how out-of-date he is. If he would just get on the bandwagon the Gates Foundation would gladly give him the Gates Award for Global Health!
Well, the Gates Foundation, despite Melinda's sanctimonious posturing, is just like the Rockefeller Foundation -- all about eliminating those smelly, unwashed poor people in the third world. And to do it, they will convene a summit this week in London touting concern for the poor and crying crocodile tears as they sell their snake oil population control poison.
Needless to say, their rhetoric is very effective along with help from their fellow travelers in the media. I recently had a discussion with an acquaintance who insisted that the world is overpopulated (Even though the entire world population could fit into less than a third of the U.S. at the population density of Houston). I doubt if my friend considers himself or his family among those causing the population problem, of course. It's all those "poor people in Africa." Well, when so much money and effort is going into forming the opinions of the average joe and jane, is his ignorant opinion surprising?
Wendy Wright of C-FAM had it right when she said:
"This is a new chapter in the population control movement. Elite billionaires and powerful governments use the guise of ‘helping poor women’ to extract permanent funding for abortion-promoting and population control groups. Contraception will have a higher priority than education, basic health care, infrastructure, and economic improvements - diverting funding from measures that empower women and communities. None of the contraception programs help pregnant women or newborns.” (More here.)Bill Gates is on record with his anti-population statements and is also up to his ears in promoting genetically modified food. Here's what Gates said at a 2010 speech in Long Beach, CA:
First we got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.This is a curious statement. How are "new vaccines" going to reduce population? Aren't vaccines meant to reduce the death toll from disease? In view of contaminated vaccines containing sterilizing agents used in a number of third world nations, Gates' comments raised a firestorm. Perhaps some people believe Gates, when he says vaccines that increase child survival will lead to reduced population, but those like me who know the history of these population control enthusiasts are more skeptical. (Now if they could just figure out how to control the population of faithful Catholic bloggers!)
Pray for Bill and Melinda Gates, David Rockefeller, and other rich elitists who plan to make the world over in their own image and likeness: white, rich, and few (except for the servants). Jesus made it very clear that it's hard for the rich to enter heaven. But I can't help thinking their goal isn't just eliminating the poor. Really...don't you think they also want to reduce the middle class so families won't have enough money to clutter up the nice vacation spots? That would certainly explain liberal policies that are bankrupting the middle class!
Mary Ann, you have got it right. I am alive today because I never took the birthcontrol pill or any kind of estrogen. I have had breast cancer three times, but all three times the tumors were minute and the estrogen in the pill would have caused them to grow larger and faster. That is what a pro-life female gynocologist told me. Also, breast feeding helps keep women from getting breast cancer. My mother and I did not breast feed very much since they were pushing bottle feeding back then and she got breast cancer at sixty nine and I first got it at about forty-eight years. My grandmother who breast fed all five of her children and her grandson never got breast cancer. She never took the Pill or had an abortion either. Abortion can also contribute to certain cancers. Melinda Gates has the money to repair any damage on her body from taking the Pill, but the women in third world countries do not. Woman are getting breast cancer at a younger and younger age.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Mary Ann, the third time I got cancer I had to have one breast removed since it had been irradiated in the first cancer many, many years before. Last year I had breast reconstruction from my stomach area, and although the surgeons did an excellent job for that kind of procedure, it is, of course, not the same, and besides what one goes through during and after the operation, it does leave one with more discomfort than one had before the breast was removed. So please, ladies and gentlemen out there, do not encourage women out there to take such unnatural things as artificial contraceptives. Married people can use the very up to date and effective natural family planning methods that are taught by such Catholic websites as The Couple to Couple League. Also, doctors really do not know how the Pill affects the babies born after the mother stops taking the Pill to have a child. I often wonder if this is not part of the cause of autism. Silicon Valley (Santa Clara) California, which the Gates's put a lot of money into, has an epidemic of autism. Married people can use breast feeding and/or modern, effective natural family planning methods such as the one taught by the teachers from the Catholic Couple to Couple League website to space children if there is a real need.
ReplyDeleteBreast reconstructive surgery from the stomach area produces a natural breast without feeling, though. If is done on the day of the masectomy, which I do not thing is good, it takes two teams of doctors and nurses for 12 hours, if it is done later by itself it takes two teams and doctors and nurses 8 hours to perform the surgery, so you can imagine what can happen to women in third world countries where they most often do not even have basic medical care. They argue sometimes that fewer the children, the richer the people. I say not if you are dead or maimed.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I was lucky my insurance covered such surgery, my husband and I are working class to lower middle class, so we could not have paid for this from our own pockets. Therefore the thing to do is to try to never do anything to cause such cancers in the first place, including using unnatural substances. It will always be impossible for insurances of whatever kind to cover everything for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI'm a breast cancer survivor as well with no risk factors. I had it when I was 39. My doctor said had I ever taken the pill I probably would have had it ten years earlier! I did not do reconstruction and have no regrets. I just tell people I'm a little unbalanced. LOL!
ReplyDeleteOne does need to be careful about taking genetic testing, though, since it could lead to your children, including boys, not being able to get health insurance if it comes back positive as it could be cosidered a precondition by insurances.
ReplyDeleteAlso It is interesting to see a practicing Catholic to go against an order of the church. I wonder if they'd excommunicate her or something.
ReplyDeleteBy the way , is Bill a Catholic too?
