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 And she'll gladly instruct the pope on how out-of-date he is.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!
