4/ U.S. government documents explicitly endorsed population reduction from the late 1960s through the 1970s, and an openly stated U.S. foreign-policy priority. The most famous example is NSSM-200 (1974). A declassified U.S. National Security Council memorandum titled...

14/ Western political, academic, and philanthropic elites, explicitly stated and WORKED TOWARDS slowing, capping, and REDUCING population. This was not secret or fringe. It was a dominant paradigm shaping policy, foreign aid, scientific research, and global governance. Wake up!
