Covid and conspiracy part four - fashionable genes

Donald Trump was not the first professional wrestling figure to occupy the White House, at least imaginatively.

In the film Idiocracy professional wrestler and porn star Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is US president 500 years in the future because America's IQ level has dropped, which apparently is possible, because as the song goes “only stupid people are breeding”.

This is the worst nightmare of eugenicists and probably what keeps World Economic Forum (WEF) "big thinkers" like Klaus Schwab awake at night.

Eugenics is the bastard offspring of the hopelessly wrong Malthusian warnings about “overpopulation”, which in my previous post I linked to the ideas of the World Economic Forum and its collaborators.

These theories have done immense damage.

Paul Ehrlich’s warnings of impending doom are credited with convincing the Chinese communists to implement their hideous one-child policy, which has to be considered as one of the greatest humanitarian and demographic catastrophes of all time.

Eugenics, as we all know, metastasized into the Nazi horrors beyond imagining but what is less well known is how the Nazis drew inspiration from eugenics programs in the US and western Europe.

In the US women who were considered of inferior stock, often meaning not wealth Anglo-Saxon protestant, or mentally defective were forcibly sterilised from 1900.

The practice did not officially end in California until 1979 and 1974 for Sweden.

Forced sterilsation or the aborting of children deemed to be from inferior stock, as Winston Churchill said of Australians, are crimes and as such are recognised in the UN declaration that no one will be forced to have a non-consensual medical procedure.

Somehow non-consensual medical procedures have become quite common now though.

Eugenics was a belief widely held in wealthy “progressive circles” in the US, Europe and a bit closer to home.

One devotee was Margaret Sanger who began Planned Parenthood, America's giant pro-abortion advocate and provider.

Margert Sanger's dream of  "exterminating the negro population" may not have been realised but her organisation has taken part in aborting millions black Americans.

Since the landmark Roe v Wade case that set the precedent for legal abortion in the US over 20 million black babies have been aborted, which actually has had a measurable effect on the black population.

Bestselling book Freakonomics even put forward the controversial eugenics-style theory that a steep reduction in crime could be traced to aborted babies being not being born to black single mothers.

An interesting figure who sat on the original board of Planned Parenthood was Bill Gates... Senior.

He was better known as William Gates, his son has adopted the shortened form of Bill.

Gates the younger has continued the work of helping ensure fewer black babies are born.

His foundation has been very active in promoting birth control in poorer nations, and has even patented the notion of doing it by “remote control”.

Not surprisingly Gates is a Malthusian who worries about the "population problem".

When discussing climate change, the pivot Malthusians made after food shortages and resource depletion didn't work out for them, Gates said we need to get population growth down towards zero.

Incredibly he said the way to do this was "if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive services".

Those are all things you would normally think should lead to an increase, not a decrease, in human beings.

However, it is true that as countries become wealthier couples tend to have less children.

Worries about not having enough children to pay taxes to look after their parents even spurred Australian Treasurer Peter Costello to bring in a baby bonus.

Singapore's government goes a step further by offering its services as a matchmaker but only for the more "desirable" breeding stock of educated Chinese.

However, that method of eugenics is looking quite out of date.

Now genetic defects can be tested for in the womb and the pregnancy terminated. 

In some countries we may only be a generation off having no Down Syndrome babies.

The next step, already done at least once, is to edit genes before birth and create so-called “designer babies”.

Research into cloning humans and even creating Captain America-style super-soldiers is believed to be well under way in China.

Soon people could be bred to be less susceptible to sickness, thus reducing healthcare costs for countries struggling with ageing populations, or perhaps people could be womb-modified for specific occupations.

However, as we now know, vaccines now can perform genetic work on already the born, a field that Gates has an outsized presence in.

Gates takes a very keen interest in gene editing as does the World Economic Forum and, it seems not so coincidentally, other prophets of climate change apocalypse, best understood as a rebranded branch of Malthusianism, such as Al Gore and Bill McKibben.

What they seem to be arguing is that someone needs to have the authority to say which type of gene-editing is good and compatible with their idea of a more just, equal and sustainable planet.

In other words what type of genetic engineering works well in terms of complimenting a Great Reset.

Who might get to decide this new type eugenics brings us back to the idea I mentioned in the second post of this series - the Philosopher King.

Plato suggested the way to make sure everyone knew their place and didn’t get ideas above their station was to tell the noble lie that Philosopher Kings had souls made out of gold while those of warriors were silver and artisans had souls banged out of common brass and iron.

Being a golden-souled Philosopher King sounds a bit like being born to rule or being blue-blooded, aristocratic notions that found a "scientific" expression in eugenics, which is why it was so embraced by the elites.

The term "noble lie" has made a bit of a comeback in the US, where it has emerged White House top medico Dr Anthony Fauci has told several untruths about the effectiveness or need of Covid measures because he did not trust the public to behave in what he thought was the correct way.

Noble lies it seems are now fine for an unelected official because they are for our "health".

Looking after a population's health is often the rationale of authoritarian regimes, such as the Nazis who even called their hellish extrapolation of eugenics "racial hygiene".

As we might recall from no less a figure and WEF favourite David Attenborough the entire planet's health is under threat from the "plague" of humanity.

How then might our modern Malthusian Philosopher Kings deal with this plague?

I will look at that in my next post where I very well might possibly and maybe give an answer to how far I think Covid is a conspiracy.
