Vladimir Putin, George W Bush, and Prigozhin, 2006

What does it mean? 

Over 300 Canadian Soldiers Launch $500 Million Lawsuit Against Military For COVID Vaccine Mandates

Now we're getting somewhere. 

In 1976, 20% of adult American women took Valium regularly.

It does shock me.  It shouldn't but it does.  The drug companies have the best marketers, making their drug appear as the only solution all the while there are nutritional compounds that work just as well if not better; oh, and, the nutritional compounds ALONG with good food, won't kill you.  So there's that.  





Thanks to Stacy Otto for the book recommendation.

The Way We Never Were, Stephanie Coontz

Will anyone ask Milley why he was involved in pre-Jan 6 planning then immediately classified his correspondence so it was hidden from investigators and the public?

Ehrlich's supporters included President Lyndon Johnson, who told the Prime Minister of India that US foreign aid was conditional on India's sterilizing lots of people. The broader Democratic Party and environmentalist movement were completely on board.

Ehrlich's book, Population Bomb, calls for a multi-pronged solution to a coming overpopulation crisis. One prong was coercive mass sterilization.  Ehrlich particularly recommended this for India, a country at the forefront of rising populations.  He wrote 

When we suggested sterilizing all Indian males with three or more children [Chandrasekhar an Indian official who shared Ehrlich's views] it should have encouraged the Indian government to go ahead with the plan.  We should have volunteered logistic support in the form of helicopters, vehicles, and surgical instruments.  We should have sent doctors to aid in the program by setting up centers for training paramedical personnel to do economic aid.  

I wish I could offer you some some sugarcoated solutions but I'm afraid the time for them is long gone.  A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people.  Treating only the symptoms of cancer may make the victim more comfortable at first, but eventually he dies --often horribly .  A similar fate awaits a world with a population explosion if only the symptoms are treated.  We must shift our efforts from treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer. The operation will demand many apparently brutal and heartless decisions.  The pain may be intense.  But the disease is so far advanced that only with radical surgery does the patient have a chance of survival. 

Ehrlich's supporters included President Lyndon Johnson, who told the Prime Minister of India that US foreign aid was conditional on India's sterilizing lots of people. The broader Democratic Party and environmentalist movement were completely on board.  Mr. [Sanjay] Gandhi allocated quotas to chief ministers of every state that they were supposed to meet by any means possible.  The chief ministers, too, in an attempt to impress the younger Gandhi, strived hard to meet those targets.  Mr. Gandhi often visited villages and towns in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to encourage and approve the tremendous work being done in terms of meeting sterilization goals. Commissioners were awarded gold medals for their hard work.  As a result, nothing mattered when it came to meeting the targets.  Uttar Pradesh and Bihar were at the top when it came to exceeding the targeted number of sterilizations, resulting in more commissioners from the states receiving medals.

Force was not only physical in form but also indirect. The government issued circulars stating that promotion and payments to employees were in abeyance until they were sterilized or completed their assigned quota of people they convinced to undergo sterilization.  People had to produce a certificate of sterilization to get their salaries or even renew their driving licenses.  When asked in 2015 if he still agreed with everything in his book, he said that "I do not think my language was too apocalyptic in The Population Bomb, 1971.  My language would be even more apocalyptic today.  The idea that every woman should have as many babies as she wants is, to me, exactly the same kind of idea as everybody ought to be permitted to throw as much of their garbage into their neighbor's backyard as they want." 

Luckily for Ehrlich, no one cares.  He remains a professor emeritus at Stanford, and president of Stanford's Center for Conservation Biology.  He has won practically every environmental award imaginable, including from the Sierra Club, the World Wildlife Fund, and the United Nations (all > 10 years after the Indian sterilization campaign he endorsed). He won the MacArthur "Genius" Prize ($800,000) in 1990, the Crafoord Prize ($700,000, presented by the King of Sweden) that same year, and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2012.  He was recently interviewed on 60 Minutes about the importance of sustainability; the mass sterilization campaign never came up.  He is about as honored and beloved as it's possible for a public intellectual to get.

Just as Ehrlich received every accolade, any teaching position he wanted, and every esteemed award following the implementation of his sterilizing recommendations in India, so, too, is Dr. Tony "Dr. Moreau" Fauci getting his cush position at Georgetown, a Jesuit school, and an academic pod for CIA bots.  Oh, and BTW, I wouldn't expect Fauci to be doing much work.  That will all be given to his Teaching Assistants, who will do the lesson planning and the occasional lecturing.  Fauci will stop in a couple times a semester and say hello.
