Prince Philip's Malthusians Launch New Age Killer Cults
by Mark Burdman and Roger Moore
Printed in the Executive Intelligence Review, July 18, 1997
In 1988, Britain's Prince Philip expressed the wish that,
should he be reincarnated, he would want to be a deadly
virus that would reduce world population. [fn1] Today,
his wish is finding expression in a proliferation of
bizarre, Malthusian grouplets, killer cults, which openly,
on the Internet and elsewhere, call for actions to
dramatically reduce world population, if not to eliminate
the human race in its entirety, on behalf of "Mother
Earth," or "Gaia."
These groups are not just some lunatic fringe that
can be brushed aside; they are the shock-troops of Prince
Philip and the British oligarchy. They have names like the
Church of Euthanasia, the Voluntary Human Extinction
Movement, and the Gaia Liberation Front. They represent a
more radical version of such clones of Prince Philip's
World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), as Earth First! and
other eco-terrorist organizations. [fn2]
In recent decades, it has been the desire of Prince
Philip and his WWF minions, that "Mother Earth worship"
be taught to children, from the elementary school level
on up. Is it surprising, that certain unstable members of
the younger generation could be programmed to grow up in
such an enraged state, that they would wish to destroy the
human race?
The killer cults, furthermore, are just the gutter
expression of ideas that are freely set forth, by
"respectable" groups and institutions, in universities
and think-tanks, and by individuals who have held
high-level posts in the U.S. government. These are
primarily grouped around an entity called Negative
Population Growth (NPG), which was created in 1972, and
which has become more brazenly homicidal in recent years.
NPG and its offshoots are effectively the
implementation tools of a section of the U.S. State
Department, which, during Henry Kissinger's reign as
Secretary of State, produced, in 1974, the National
Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM-200) report,
"Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S.
Security and Overseas Interests." Later in the 1970s, the
same State Department nest played a prominent role in
producing the Jimmy Carter White House's Global 2000
atrocity. The official State Department Coordinator for
Global 2000, Lindsey Grant, is, today, a seminal figure in
NPG. Grant's current State Department successor, Tim
Wirth, is praised by NPG is "the best Deputy Secretary of
State for Population and Environment we've had in a long
time."
With its propaganda for a massive reduction of the
American population, NPG serves the purposes of those
British forces, in the environs of Prince Philip, who have
openly stated their intention to destroy the United
States, to break the country into separate and competing
"bio-regions," over the coming years.
What makes all this more alarming, is the May 1
election of Tony Blair as British prime minister.
According to a key figure in Britain's leading
neomalthusian lobbying organization, Population Concern,
the Blair government is much more open to "policies of
population limitation" than was the previous John Major
government. Population Concern, whose official patron is
Prince Philip, sponsored a speech on July 10, before the
British All-Party Group on Population in the British
Parliament, by Clare Short, Blair's minister for overseas
development. The Population Concern source, who maintains
regular liaison with NPG head Donald Mann in the United
States, is hopeful that Short will follow in the footsteps
of her predecessor as overseas development minister,
Baroness Lynda Chalker, who is seen as the one figure in
the Major regime who had a strong bias for "population
limitation" policies. As readers of EIR know, Baroness
Chalker is a controller of the African governments and
military units now committing genocide in what used to be
Zaire.
Save The Planet, Kill
Yourself
Over the past months, increasing attention has been
drawn to the Church of Euthanasia, based in Boston,
Massachusetts, and headed by the self-professed
"Reverend" Chris Korda, the son of New York-based
author Michael Korda. Chris Korda is a biological male who
often dresses in women's clothes. In November 1996, the
German magazine Der Spiegel published a three-page
exposé of this "Church," reporting that it had some
1,000 members in the United States, and was growing.
In its literature, Korda's group advocates "suicide,
abortion, cannibalism, and sodomy," while its title
promotes the fifth means of what it calls "massive
voluntary population reduction": euthanasia. One of its
heroes is Jack "Dr. Death" Kevorkian. Among its slogans,
promoted on the Internet, are "Save the planet, kill
yourself," "Thank you for not breeding," "Learn to
masturbate." A Church "Commandment" reads, "Thou
should not procreate!" Korda writes that he would have,
long ago, killed himself, except that he decided it were
better that he stay around, to bring about the progressive
elimination of the rest of the members of the human
species.
Korda praises the work of Paul ("Population Bomb")
Ehrlich, a mainstay of the NPG.
Korda, who abhors the institution of the nuclear
family, promotes what he calls "Our Family Album" of
alleged supporters and members of the Church of
Euthanasia. The album includes a photo of none other than
Henry Kissinger! A leading anti-Malthusian investigator in
Germany has raised the point, that while this may be a
phony photo-montage, the fact is that Kissinger has not
repudiated the appearance of his mug in this location.
Eliminate The Human
Species
Korda is a regular "discussion partner" with the
more secretive Gaia Liberation Front, based in
Toronto, Canada. The GLF was launched on Earth Day 1990.
Its "Communiqué 1," issued at that time, proclaimed:
"Our mission is the total liberation of the Earth, which
can be accomplished only through the extinction of the
Humans as a species.... Every Human now carries the seeds
of terracide. If any Humans survive, they may start the
whole thing over again. Our policy is to take no
chances." The GLF explains, in its literature, that it
capitalizes the word "Humans," because it regards human
beings as an "alien species," who have genetically
programmed "technological propensities" that must
inevitably end up destroying "Gaia."
The GLF fumes, "The Humans have been usefully
compared to a cancer or a virus.... What does a surgeon do
with a cancer?" The "Humans" are particularly
obstreperous, GLF complains, because they always promote
their dignity and self-worth, as in the passage from
Shakespeare's Hamlet: "What a piece of work is man! how
noble in reason!" There can only be one
solution for such a species, according to the GLF:
"extermination."
In a document called "A Modest Proposal," cynically
spoofing Jonathan Swift's devastating attack on British
genocidalists, the GLF discusses various possible methods
for exterminating the human species. It rejects nuclear
war (bad for the environment), sterilization (not fast
enough, whether voluntary or involuntary), and suicide
(too narrow in application), but then exclaims about the
potentials represented by "bioengineering." This can
produce "genetically engineered viruses" that will
attack "only the target species." They continue: "To
complicate the search for a cure or a vaccine, and as
insurance against the possibility that some Humans might
be immune to a particular virus, several different viruses
could be released (with provision being made for the
release of a second round after the generals and the
politicians had come out of their shelters)."
In another document, there is a dialogue between the
Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT) and the
GLF, published in the VHEMT publication, These Exit
Times. Someone calling himself or herself
"Spokesorganism Geophilus" declares, "We would welcome
the escape of any new anti-Human viruses--such as the
airborne version of AIDS that might result from AIDS
research on mice." According to Geophilus, war is not
such an "efficient" means of human elimination, as it
doesn't kill enough people. "But every little bit
helps." Asked what it thinks about genocide, the
Spokesorganism responds sympathetically, but frets that
genocide usually refers only to the elimination of a
specific ethnic or racial group, and is therefore
"limited," or even somewhat counterproductive, for
reaching the aim of eliminating the whole human race!
Asked why it doesn't commit suicide, Geophilus
responds: "If I merely believed in Human extinction,
then of course, you'd be right. But, in my judgment, the
good I'm doing by promoting the idea of Human extinction
outweighs the harm I'm doing by staying alive."
In reviewing some of the "ideas" of the GLF, the
which he "unofficially" endorses, the Church of
Euthanasia's Korda reports about "a group of scientists,
including French chemists Jean-Michael DuPont and Henri
Mevel, who are developing a powerful toxin that will
completely eliminate the human species, without disturbing
the other inhabitants of the biosphere."
These maniacs insist on eliminating all apes, since,
they argue, invoking Darwinian theory, one day apes will
become humans, and the onslaught against Gaia will then
re-commence!
We Should Phase Ourselves
Out
The VHEMT promotes itself as more "reasonable" than
the GLF, since it supports "voluntary," rather than
"involuntary" approaches to human extinction. On
inspection, however, the VHEMT policies are no less
draconian.
The group was founded in 1991, in Portland, Oregon,
by Les Knight, a schoolteacher. His stated purpose is
to "phase out" the human race, primarily through putting
a "stop at once, to all reproduction." According to
Knight, "each child increases the environmental impact
of a family by 50%, and two children do so by 100%."
On June 8, 1994, Knight was interviewed on BBC World
Service's "Outlook" program. The BBC interviewer, who
chirped that Knight's views were "very interesting,"
reported that the VHEMT was gaining support from elements
of the environmentalist movement in the United States.
Knight told BBC: "Having made such a mess of the world,
we should phase ourselves out. We're incompatible with the
biosphere." In the same breath that he expressed his
affection, as a schoolteacher, for children, he said that
the appropriate slogan for the times in which we are
living, would be: "Make love, not babies."
One creature who is favorably cited by these
grouplets, is the Finnish writer, and self-proclaimed
"eco-fascist," Pentti Linkola. Linkola is quite a
celebrity in Finland, with a substantial following. In his
Finland Who's Who entry, he lists his hobby as
"destroying human culture."
Linkola's views were made known to a wide
English-language readership, in a May 24, 1994 front-page
feature in the Wall Street Journal-Europe, elements of
which were then reported on, not unsympathetically, in a
London Times commentary by Lord William Rees-Mogg.
Noting that Linkola was in favor of "annihilating most of
the human race," the Journal quoted him saying that
a new world war would be "a happy occasion for the
planet.... If there were a button I could press, I would
sacrifice myself without hesitating, if it meant millions
of people would die."
Linkola harbors a special hatred for the United
States of America, because "the United States symbolizes
the worst ideologies in the world: growth and freedom."
In his future eco-fascist utopia, only "a few million"
Americans would be allowed to survive.
What must rule the world, in the future, according to
Linkola, are "green police," unencumbered by the "syrup
of ethics" that governs human behavior today. They would
keep progress in check. People would work as fishermen and
farmers, and "everything we have developed over the last
100 years should be destroyed."
According to Linkola, "We still have a chance to be
cruel. But if we are not cruel today, all is lost."
"Respectable" Homicidal
Maniacs
Gruesome stuff. But how different is this, in
substance, from what is promoted by Negative Population
Growth? NPG, keep in mind, has considerable
"respectability" among British and Anglophile American
influentials. It regularly places advertisements in major
American newspapers, with its demands for a reduction of
the American population to 150 million or lower. Such ad
placements obviously require substantial sums of money.
One key source of funds, is the Nebraska mega-billionaire
Warren Buffett, whose possible links to a circle of
high-level satanic child abusers in that state, have
become a matter of public controversy. [fn3]
NPG has infiltrated its ideas into one current of
what passes for mainstream political debate these days in
the United States, by its opposition to immigration. Its
central, racist argument, is that immigrants breed more
than non-immigrant Americans, and so are the driving force
behind population growth. NPG propaganda was widely on
display during California's anti-immigration campaign, a
couple of years back. Their work was cited positively by
"conservative Christian" Pat Buchanan, and their
arguments were adopted, in significant part, by California
Gov. Pete Wilson. One finds the NPG in constant
communication with neo-conservative anti-immigrant groups
and propagandists.
The ideas of NPG's head, Donald Mann, as well as
those of the NPG's Paul Ehrlich, are promoted by a
group in Britain called the Council for Posterity. This
group, affiliated closely with the United Nations
Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization
(Unesco), is politically and philosophically close to
Oxford University Darwinian fanatic Richard Dawkins, to
New Dark Age fiction writer Sir William Golding (Lord of
the Flies), and to the chief British inventors of the
Gaia/Mother Earth mythos, James Lovelock and Edward
Goldsmith, the latter the brother of, and recipient of
funds from, wheeler-dealer Sir James Goldsmith. The
Council of Posterity also promotes the ideas of such
British malthusians of the past as Unesco founder Julian
Huxley and H.G. Wells.
In 1995, NPG began distributing an essay entitled,
"Confronting the 21st Century's Hidden Crisis: Reducing
Human Numbers by 80%." It was authored, in May 1995, by
J. Kenneth Smail, a professor of anthropology at
Kenyon College, in Gambier, Ohio, who gives courses in
"biological anthropology." Smail's article is written in
bloodless, academic language, but it is a document that is
1,000 times more bloodcurdling, in content, than Hitler's
Mein Kampf.
He begins: "My position is simply stated. Within the
next half-century, it will be essential for the human
species to have fully operational a flexibly designed,
broadly equitable and internationally coordinated set of
initiatives, focussed on reducing the then-current world
population by at least 80%. Given that even with the best
of intentions it will take considerable time and
exceptional diplomatic skill to develop and implement such
an undertaking, perhaps on the order of 25 to 50 years, it
is important that the process of
consensus-building--local, national and global--begin
now."
Smail then enumerates a series of "essential,
incontrovertible and inescapable realities," the which
make mass murder absolutely required. He rejects "zero
population growth" approaches as inadequate, since, even
if implemented, "human population would nevertheless
continue its rapid rate of expansion." This charming
creature further exclaims: "Unless there appears a deadly
pandemic, a devastating world war, or a massive breakdown
in public health (or a combination of all three), it is
inevitable that ongoing global gains in human longevity
will continue to make a major contribution to population
expansion over the next half-century, regardless of
whatever progress might be made in reducing fertility."
He rejects as "ridiculous," suggestions that
"extraterrestrial migration" could help solve the
problem of "excess human population, in either the near
or more distant future." He declares that "it is
extremely important to come to terms with the fact that
the earth's long-term carrying capacity ... is indeed
finite, ... notwithstanding the high probability of
continued scientific/technological progress." And
further: "Assertions that the earth 'might' be able to
support a population of 10, 15 or even 20 billion for an
'indefinite' period of time, at a standard of living
'superior' to the present, are not only demonstrably
false, but also cruelly misleading. Rather, ongoing
analysis by ecologists, demographers and numerous others,
suggests that it is quite likely that the earth's true
carrying capacity ... has already been exceeded by a
factor or more."
Bringing population to a level no more than 2
billion, and perhaps no higher than 500 million, will not
be a simple matter, Smail raves: "Obviously, a numerical
dislocation of this magnitude will require a massive
reorientation of human thought, expectations and
values.... Put most simply, there seems to be no
alternative to the premise, that a very significant
population reduction must necessarily follow population
stabilization.... For the stark reality is this.
Population regulation is the primary issue facing
humanity; all other matters are subordinate."
The New Malthusian Organizing Drive
As we indicated above, a key figure in NPG, is
Lindsey Grant. Grant's writings are frequently cited
or recommended in NPG literature, and it is he who edits
the documents (under the title, "NPG Footnotes")
distributed by NPG. During the latter 1970s, Grant was the
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Environment and
Population Affairs; he was the State Department
coordinator for the infamous Global 2000 project of the
Carter White House; his rise at State is related to the
NSSM-200 document commissioned by Kissinger. In its
argumentation that population growth in the developing
world would impede U.S. access to vital strategic raw
materials, NSSM-200 should be seen as providing a
before-the-fact rationalization for the raw materials grab
and genocide that we now see occurring in Africa.
The policies incorporated in NSSM-200 and Global
2000 are now receiving a new shot in the arm, in part
through the efforts of Cornell University professor
David Pimentel, who, with Grant and Ehrlich, is among
the most frequently cited writers in NPG literature.
In 1994, Pimentel presented a report to the American
Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in
which he and his co-authors argue for an "optimal"
global population of 1-2 billion. The report states that
"a drastic demographic adjustment to 1 to 2 billion
humans will cause serious social, economic, and political
problems," but that these are preferable to the presumed
consequences of "rapid population growth to 12 billion or
more."
In his above-quoted paper, Smail mentions
having received a personal communication from Pimentel,
evidently soon after that 1994 report to the AAAS,
indicating that Pimentel was drastically lowering his
estimation of what the "global optimum" should be.
Writes Smail, citing Pimentel: "Actually, this 2 billion
estimate may be somewhat on the generous side,
particularly in light of the fact that some recent
projections for the earth's long-term carrying capacity
have been set much lower, in the one-half to 1 billion
range."
Pimentel is on the executive committee of a new
group, the U.S. Population Policy Project (USPPP),
which released its Planning Document on May 30 of this
year. The group's "Project Focus" is described as
follows: "The Development and Implementation of a
Domestic Population Policy in the United States, to
Achieve Long-term Environmental and Economic
Sustainability." As footnoted recommended literature, the
USPPP cites the writings of Pimentel; Lindsey Grant; Paul
and Anne Ehrlich; the British Medical Journal; the
Carrying Capacity Network; and others of the Malthusian
species.
In its Planning Document, the USPPP proposes to
initiate a "three-year interdisciplinary project,"
leading to a "national population policy conference, and
follow-up activities to develop and implement a coherent,
fair U.S. population policy." The document asserts that
"the first serious attempt to develop a population policy
was in Chicago, June 7-11, 1970, when the First National
Congress on Optimum Population and Environment (COPE) was
convened." This was followed by the "Rockefeller
Commission," officially known as President Nixon's
Commission on Population Growth and the American Future.
The document goes on: "In early 1974, the Nixon
Administration undertook a comprehensive study, 'National
Security Memorandum 200' [sic], of population growth and
its implications for United States national security and
overseas interests. The United States contributed many of
the findings and recommendations in this report to the
draft plan of the approaching World Population Conference,
to be held in Bucharest. Later, in 1974, the United
Nations held its first international conference on
population in Bucharest. The U.S. delegation was led by
Caspar Weinberger, President Nixon's secretary of HEW. For
the first time, overpopulation was identified as a
critical global issue."
The document discusses other key moments in this
Malthusian proces, the UN population conferences in Mexico
City (1984) and Cairo (1994), the 1995 formation of the
President's Council on Sustainable Development, etc. A
consistent theme, throughout, is that the U.S. government
has been dragging its feet on implementing the necessary
measures, so, now, more decisive action must be taken.
