opt a select number of individuals who already possess an understanding of political and
geopolitical issues, and who are more likely to set aside cultural prejudices and historical
animosities (especially for personal gain), is a much easier and faster enterprise. The technocrats
and scientists employed by the United Nations have therefore concentrated on co-opting their
counterparts at the national level in key ministries once high level envoys have successfully
focused their attention on heads of state.
News Travel Faster Than Understanding – The Need for Secrecy
An enlightened country, or a country that has experienced population pressures for centuries
(such as the Netherlands), could conceivably receive popular approval for legislating family size
once it brings the issue out in the open and allows the media and civil society to discuss it freely.
But in so doing it would pass sensitive information beyond its borders to countries that are not
ready for general consensus and thus expose and jeopardize the covert methods that are in place.
By a domino effect, the depopulation policy could be brought to a sudden halt throughout the
world and thus the countries where only secret methods of population control are possible and
that are most likely to suffer from population pressures and resource scarcity would not benefit
from proactive measures that though painful and criminal nevertheless enable such countries to
survive the demographic transition from growing to stable populations before they either
collapse under the burden or are ready to accept and embrace legislation.
Since news travel faster than understanding the need for secrecy has remained paramount and
has been respected by nations that have already undergone the painful demographic transition by
covert chemical means.
Inglorious Past of Eugenics – The Instinct to Procreate
The mere mention of population control brings back memories of the Holocaust and the Nazi
eugenic agenda, which has tainted any and all efforts to institute enlightened and voluntary
family planning measures. The inglorious past of eugenics acts as a barrier to benevolent
population control. Furthermore, people have an innate aversion to the thought that the state
should be allowed to have a say in our sex life, as this strikes at the heart of our instinct to breed,
which is among the strongest instincts we possess.
The Logistics of Moving Billions
The world is a mighty big place and a depopulation program is a complex, expensive and labor
intensive project that cannot happen simultaneously across the globe. Problems of timing and
coordination have dictated a piecemeal approach. It is logistically impossible to proceed on all
fronts at the same time and this has limited the United Nations and its wealthy sponsors to
proceed gradually whereby resources are focused on specific countries on any given decade.
Once the program is established and national authorities can continue it with little outside
assistance then the international community shifts its focus to the next set of nations. It is thus
