That this decrease has been achieved throughcovert methods is amply demonstrated by the fact that Cambodia has the lowest contraceptiveprevalence rate in Asia, with only 7% coverage in 1995, 18% coverage in 2000 and 27% in 2005according to government data.The evidence points towards tetanus toxoid vaccines as the covert method of sterilization used bythe Cambodian government and the usual international organizations involved in thedepopulation agenda. Since 2008 your government has also added fluoridated salt to the arsenalof covert population control.

That is why I ask that you132 | P a g e
