Dear Colleague:

The extinguishing of a people does not have to be done with troops or
death camps.  Isn't it genocide to indoctrinate into the contraceptive
mentality the youth of a small nation with a low birthrate?

Kinder, Gentler Genocide in Mongolia
By Joseph A. D'Agostino


It is often useful to examine the front page of a major newspaper or home
page of a website just to see what is being presented and how.  Watching
solely the front page of a major newspaper could, over time, tell you the
most important biases and lies in which that newspaper engages.
Similarly, watching the home page of major organization, one with a
well-run website that tracks closely the propaganda desires of that
organization's leadership, will reveal a tremendous amount about that
organization.

One such revealing day came for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
on Thursday, July 27.  Of course, UNFPA cloaks its anti-human neo-pagan
religious dogmas in the language of long-discredited scientific research,
yet their roots in fascist, Marxist, and feminist spiritualities are
clear.  Looking at most of the items on UNFPA's home page July 27, UNFPA's
global efforts to reduce human populations were on exceptionally clear
display.

The top item that day was UNFPA's efforts to spread the
sexual/contraceptive revolution in Mongolia.  One wonders why this tiny
country of only 2.5 million, which UNFPA says is the most sparsely
populated in Asia, would need help from international agencies to reduce
her already thinly-spread population.  Just as UNFPA continues its
fanatical attempts to reduce childbearing worldwide despite suicidally
dropping fertility, and rapid global aging predicted by the UN itself (see
last week's weekly briefing, "World Population Aging 2006"), the agency
wants to make sure every nook and cranny of the planet is tainted by its
anti-family and anti-child jihad.

In fact, UNFPA's attack on Mongolia looks like genocide.  Just as UNFPA
eagerly assists Communist China's population control policy that imposes a
limit of one or two children on Chinese families, UNFPA is helping to
eliminate the Mongolian race and Mongolian culture from the face of the
planet.  Much of traditional Mongolian land has been annexed by China,
which ruthlessly represses expressions of nationalism and, worse, uses
Sinification to transplant ethnic Chinese into Mongolian areas and force
Mongolians to adopt Chinese ways.  Only the 2.5 million in poor, isolated
independent Mongolia may have much of a chance of preserving the ancient
Mongolian ethnic group and Mongolian culture for the future.

Yet that continued existence is threatened.  Mongolia's birthrate, still a
healthy five children per woman 20 years ago, has dropped dramatically to
only about 2.3 today.  The United Nations predicts it will be below
replacement rate by 2015, less than a decade from now, and continue on
down.  So what is UNFPA doing to help ensure the survival of this small,
unique people, the descendants of great conquerors of old such as Genghis
and Kublai Khan?  Exporting to them feminism, sexual liberation, and
contraception, of course.

UNFPA is taking advantage of urbanization in Mongolia to indoctrinate
Mongolian youth into the mysteries of the anti-procreation religion.  A
third of Mongolians live in or near the capital, Ulaanbataar.  "Until
recently, the outlying districts of the city have had little to offer
young people, many of whom are new to urban life," says UNFPA.  "But now a
network of youth centres in and around Ulaanbataar provide teenagers with
a safe space in which to get together, as well as opportunities to learn
about, and protect, their reproductive health.  The centres, which include
clinical services and sexual health counseling, are part of a major
collaborative effort supported by UNFPA, the United Nations Population
Fund, to improve the well-being of young people."

UNFPA is following a plan developed after taking the lay of the Mongolian
land years ago, even talking up Love, a new magazine for Mongolian youth.
"The magazine, like the teen centres, was launched following a major
survey conducted in 1999-2000," says UNFPA.  "The survey found that nearly
78% of Mongolian adolescents felt that they lacked open communication with
their parents.  A third felt intimidated by classmates and said that their
teachers were authoritarian.  The survey also pointed out the need for
out-of-school and after-school activities for young people, as well as for
reproductive health information and services."

As Mongolia faces dramatic dislocations caused by globalization, a newly
free market, and urbanization, UNFPA is not working to preserve Mongolian
culture.  Nor is it trying to support Mongolian parents in their efforts
to educate their children.  After all, imperialism can be benign instead
of brutal.  Instead, the imperialist UNFPA is making an end run around
traditional sources of authority over youth-parents, teachers-to
indoctrinate and contracept Mongolian kids.

"Young people are enjoying the freedom to hang out with friends and to
talk about issues like sexuality, dating and relationships, that are taboo
at home and rarely discussed in public," says UNFPA.  In fact, UNFPA's
article on its activities there is headlined, "Young People in Mongolia:
Finding Places Where Secrets Are Safe."  Needless to say, Mongolia's low
and rapidly dropping birthrate is never mentioned.

Is it an exaggeration to consider genocidal UNFPA's efforts to circumvent
families and other traditional Mongolian institutions and push youth into
the hedonistic, anti-family culture of sex outside marriage and
contraceptive use, when that tiny country's birthrate is so low and
dropping?  And when that country's traditional culture is already under
such threat from globalization?

UNFPA's home page had plenty of other examples of its efforts at
destruction around the world:

· "UNFPA Asks Donors for $6.2 Million to Meet Emergency Health Needs of
Civilians Displaced by Conflict in Lebanon": Such health needs include
"family planning"-contraceptives and almost certainly the abortifacient
morning-after pill (MAP), which is now considered de rigueur.  Based on
the previous track record of UNFPA, it probably includes surgical abortion
as well, though not officially.

· "Dying to Give Life: Maternal Mortality in Afghanistan": Amidst
justified complaints about poverty, lack of health care, and marriage at
too young an age forced on women in the rural areas of this Muslim
country, UNFPA adds, "Lack of access to modern methods of family planning
means many women are unable to choose when and how many children to have.
. . . According to UNICEF, fully 97.6% of married women surveyed were not
using any sort of contraceptive, while 78% had never even heard of family
planning."  Maybe that is why, despite decades of war-with Russia, then
civil war, then with the United States, now with Taliban holdouts-Afghanis
are in no danger of dying out thanks to their high birthrate.  UNFPA wants
to fix that.

· "Addressing the Sex Imbalance Ratio in China": This one is particularly
amusing in a dark, United Nations sort of way.  After decades of assisting
China in her population control efforts, UNFPA is now worried about the
huge gender imbalance in the country.  Yet how can those like UNFPA who
advocate abortion rights possible complain when Chinese families,
exercising their preference for sons, abort baby girls?  Is that any less
morally justifiable than aborting simply for the sake of convenience, as
is common in the West, or because the unborn child has a minor birth
defect such as a cleft palate?  So as a result of abortion's availability,
there are up to 200 million missing women worldwide-and 200 million men
and boys who will never be able to marry.  No one who believes that a
woman should be free to choose abortion has a right to complain about the
baleful and increasing ill effect of this rapidly growing global gender
imbalance.  However, in some countries and China in particular, it has
come about not just because of women's choices, but because of government
policies that restrict family size-which UNFPA has long subsidized with
its own population control activities in China.  If families can have only
one or two children, many take steps to ensure they have a son.

· "Partnership in Action: The European Union and UNFPA": Need more be
said?

· Plenty of other examples in UNFPA's standard links, such as "Improving
Reproductive Health" (measured primarily by how many women use
contraception), "Promoting Gender Equality" (measured in great degree by
how many women work outside the home), "Preventing HIV Infection"
(measured by how many people use condoms), and the like.

It is extraordinary that in a worldwide era of collapsing birthrates,
dissolving families, rampant promiscuity with its attendant spread of
disease, and the continued existence of small ethnic groups threatened by
lack of children, all that UNFPA can talk about is the need for more
contraception, fewer people, and freer sexual mores.

Genghis Khan wrote, "My descendants will be clad in cloth of gold; they
will be mounted on superb chargers and embrace the most beautiful young
women.  And they will have forgotten to whom they owe all this."  As he
was fond of taking beautiful young women as his concubines himself, 0.5%
of the male population of the world may be descended from him.  But, of
course, few are actually Mongolian.

Let's take Mongolians as a test case and see where that nation is in ten
years.  Under the tutelage of UNFPA and similar Western agencies, I would
wager they will be well on their way to permanent extinction-a kindler,
gentler kind of genocide.
