Philippines in struggle against abortionist population control initiative...

“Do not, My children, be deceived by the words of the evil ones about you who cry to you of no space left for man. There is space, for My Father has a plan for every life He sends.
     “There is, My children, a fear campaign to cause confusion among you. None of these fears are based on the fear of their God. No, these fears are only built on the socializing of man, and his humanism being exploited to cover every sin, that even the mind of satan could not conceive such diabolical folly." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1971

 

LifeSiteNews.com reported on July 22, 2008:

Filipino religious and pro-life organizations are locked in a struggle with pro-abortion groups over a legislative initiative to institute a massive regime of population control that would employ abortifacient contraceptives, sterilization, and sex education.

The legislation, called the "Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2007," would create a new agency called the Commission on Population (POPCOM) which would "encourage" families to have only two children, and promote the use of a variety of abortifacient drugs, including the IUD and the pill.

POPCOM would also require all public and private health care providers to provide surgical sterilization, and would institute "mandatory age-appropriate reproductive health education" starting in fifth grade and running through the fourth year of high school. 

The Filipino Catholic bishops have lead the charge against the bill, scheduling a massive national protest for July 25.  According to the Catholic news website AsiaNews, the protest will be held in every city, bringing together priests, nuns, and laity to protest "in defense of life."

The executive director of the Bishops Conference Commission for Family and Life, Fr. Melvin Castro, stated that the bill, if passed, would promote the "laxity of morality" and the "culture of death" in the Philippines.

After a meeting with a group of bishops, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has reportedly assured them of her continuing opposition to artificial contraception.  Arroyo has refused to spend government funds on birth control, and instead teaches Natural Family Planning, a method approved of by the Church which allows couples to avoid pregnancy for serious reasons by abstaining from sexual intercourse during the woman's period of highest fertility each month. 

However, the legislation is receiving much sympathetic coverage in the Filipino media. In one piece Aries Rufo of the ABS-CBN network complained, "In Congress, bills on reproductive health and population management are perpetually filed but these never get to be debated on the floor. The Church has an effective monitoring system on bills that could potentially go against its Canon and makes no qualm on marshaling legislators to 'kill' these bills."

In addition to the July 25 rally, bishop Jesus Dosado of the diocese of Ozamiz has issued a pastoral letter stating that politicians who support abortion are forbidden to receive Holy Communion within the diocese.  His decision has been endorsed by bishop Angel Lagdameo, president of Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines.

Part II: Creating "crises" and "shock attacks" in the "war" on population

New book cites US and UN-manufactured scares over population growth...

 

(See Part I: New Book Exposes Eugenics Mandate in Reproductive Rights Agenda
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/jul/08071007.html)

LifeSiteNews.com reported on July 17, 2008:

In the new book " Fatal Misconception: The Struggle to Control World Population," Columbia University historian Matthew Connelly shows how the population control movement created "future projections as evidence" of overpopulation, then justified "casualties" in the war on population caused by coercive methods. These included such "shock attacks" as quotas for millions of shoddy vasectomies and IUD insertions without follow-up care, public humiliation of poor families with three or more children, bulldozing entire neighborhoods that displaced countless thousands of the poor, and knowingly unloading defective IUDs that crippled poor women.
    
According to Connelly, when Malthusian theories used to justify eugenics fell out of favor, population controllers invented new theories. Founding members of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) returning from the Vietnam War, transferred the counterinsurgency tactic of "population control" to USAID's strategy. Chinese missile scientist Jian Song used computer generated modeling to create the appearance of "precise forecast" of disaster for China if the government did not limit women to bearing one child.
   
Africa, along with India, was the target of many such contrived scenarios, even though according to Connelly "the continent was a net food exporter and featured some of the lowest rates of growth in the world." What's more, he says family planning advocates ignored the fact that fertility was already falling in China and in other target countries, and ignored the "accumulating body of evidence showing that high fertility was not, after all, correlated with poverty." He demonstrates that fertility rates fell in developing countries between 1950 and 2000, whether or not they were subjected to population assistance programs.
   
Despite the facts, the movement's tactics became increasingly coercive in the late 1960s, due to the zeal and connections of people like U.S. Army general William Draper. Working with John D. Rockefeller, Draper helped convince President Johnson to include population control in the 1965 "war on poverty." Johnson tied humanitarian aid to developing nations' achieving fertility benchmarks set by the UN and USAID, even vetoing food aid shipments to India in the midst of its dire famines.

Draper founded the Population Crisis Committee, today's Population Action International, with the goal of creating an American public sense of urgency by tapping into the fears of the day, such as drawing a causative link between the lack of family planning in the slums with the chaos caused by youth in the late 1960s and calling for a "crash program for population stabilization."
   
Along with former Secretary of Defense and World Bank President Robert McNamara, Draper convinced Congress to earmark unprecedented levels of funding for USAID population programs between 1967 and 1971. So much money flooded into the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) that officials did not know how to spend it. This, along with growing skepticism in the third world of U.S. backing - then 90 percent of the total - led Draper to call for the creation of a fund centered at the UN which would "sanitize" U.S. funding, give the appearance of international consensus, and circumvent national governments. The initiative became the UN Population Fund (UNFPA).

Dying for Green? ABC game tells you when you deserve to die...

LifeSiteNews.com reported on June 6, 2008:

Dying to save the planet? The Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC) has spent countless carbons building a website to let all human beings guilty of contributing carbon dioxide to global warming know how long they deserve to live and what they can do to "live forever."

Australia's ABC has unveiled the "PlanetSlayer" site, which the Aussie network calls the "first irreverent environmental website" featuring the cartoon eco-heroine "Greena the Worrier Princess" - a red-haired peacenik tree-hugger accompanied by her trusty canine sidekick - and lets people know how much of a blight they are on the planet. http://www.abc.net.au/science/planetslayer 

"Get the dirt on greenhouse without the guilt trips," the site proudly proclaims. "Just fun and games and the answers to all your enviro-dilemas [sic] ... Use our greenhouse calculator to find out when you should die!"

"Professor Schpinkee's greenhouse calculator" allows people figure out "how your CO2 production compares to the Average Aussie greenhouse pig, and to an environmentally-sustainable greenhouse 'pig.'" Once a person answers all 10 questions, he can click on the skull-and-crossbones to know when he should die "so you don't use more than your fair share of the earth's resources."

Situated between an "Aussie pig" generating 24.6 tonnes of CO2 and the "green pig" generating 3.0 tonnes of CO2, a player can figure out who should live and who should die at what age depending on their use of the planet's resources or more accurately their total carbon usage.

Playing the game will let you know that ABC believes the average working class Aussie should die at 9 years of age for consuming too much of earth's resources. The eco-pig, however, "should die at age 77."

A rough estimate of CO2 usage of an ordinary family provider, who is unable to make "eco-friendly" investments because he needs to support his family, shows that he will have used up his share of the earth's resources by 2.7 years. Third-world inhabitants would average between 25-30 years before their time was up.

However, the calculator offers the secret to living forever without having to give up anything that emits CO2, like private jets, gas-guzzling SUVs, and the hot air of endless environmental conventions. The "green calculator" shows that all one has to do is consume material resources with abandon, but have enough wealth to invest in environmentally friendly businesses to go negative with carbon usage.

Unfortunately those unable to invest, including the working class and poor of rich nations obsessed with global warming must radically alter their standard of living, despite having no real chance of deserving to live more than 30 years, even in destitution.

Those interested in perusing the site can watch episodes of "Greena" and play the Planet Slayer game as "X-ON" in order to slay the planet or as the red-haired olive-drab Greena to save the planet. Winning a level as Greena shows a clip of Greena and her dog chained to a tree shouting "never surrender!" Winning at "slay the planet" lets gamers watch X-ON spray Greena in the face with chemicals. Gamers should be warned that excessive game-play uses up precious carbons and reduces the time they deserve to live on Earth according to the site's global warming "greenhouse" standards.

Costs twice as much to make gallon of ethanol from corn as it does for gallon of gasoline

Starvation scapegoat: Blaming population for a green problem...

“Do not, My children, be deceived by the words of the evil ones about you who cry to you of no space left for man. There is space, for My Father has a plan for every life He sends.
     “There is, My children, a fear campaign to cause confusion among you. None of these fears are based on the fear of their God. No, these fears are only built on the socializing of man, and his humanism being exploited to cover every sin, that even the mind of satan could not conceive such diabolical folly." - Our Lady of the Roses, August 5, 1971

 

LifeSiteNews.com reported on June 2, 2008:

Although the search for clean, alternative sources of energy is to be commended in and of itself, the environmentalist movement has a history of overreaching. The ethanol story is a case in point. Of course the farmers are happy that another major, government-subsidized market for their products has arisen - and we at the Population Research Institute (PRI) like farmers. But the ethanol story begins with a radical environmental push for renewable energy. And what better source of renewable energy, they argued, than one of the principal crops of America's farmers: corn.
 
It turns out that this is a lousy idea from several points of view. First, as studies have demonstrated, it costs twice as much to make a gallon of ethanol from corn as it does for a gallon of gasoline, even though gasoline is nearly twice as efficient.

In addition, according to a Cornell University study, although ethanol might burn cleaner than gasoline, the amount of oil and coal that must be consumed to produce it is so disproportionately huge that ethanol production is actually contributing to the energy crisis, not helping to resolve it. The huge machines that plant, fertilize, and harvest the corn used to make ethanol run on diesel, after all, and the fermentation plants run on electricity.

Not only is ethanol not worth the cost of producing it, the drive to make ever more ethanol is cutting severely into the food supply.

According to an article published last year by Business Week, the dent in American food production alone has been dramatic. "In the U.S., last year's [corn] harvest was 10.5 billion bushels, the third-largest crop ever," it reads. "But instead of going into the maws of pigs or cattle or people, an increasing slice of that supply is being transformed into fuel for cars.

The roughly 5 billion gallons of ethanol made in 2006 by 112 U.S. plants consumed nearly one-fifth of the corn crop. If all the scores of factories under construction or planned go into operation, fuel will gobble up no less than half of the entire corn harvest by 2008."

The very liberal New York Times columnist Paul Krugman pointed the finger at politicians: "You might put it this way: people are starving in Africa so that American politicians can court votes in farm states." But this is only part of the story. Politicians in non-farm states vote for ethanol because it is extremely popular with the environmental lobby.

And what does the radical environmental movement do? Assisted by its minions in the media, it is once again blaming "overpopulation" for rising hunger around the world.
 
"Debate Grows with Philippines' Population," writes Bruce Wallace of the Los Angeles Times, "As the food crisis looms, who's to blame?" The answer from this bastion of liberal sentiment is not, as it should be, environmentalism run amok, but the old stand-by: overpopulation.

Although the article concedes that the population growth of the Philippines is slowing dramatically -- families are now averaging only 2.5 children -- he still sides with the population fear-mongers in blaming the food shortages on too many people. The environmentalists cited in the article deny that their beloved biofuel movement is sending much of the world into starvation. Instead they attempt to shift the blame onto their favorite culprit -- the world's people, in particular, the world's poor.

This is not surprising. It is well-known that those with a pronounced Green outlook on life believe human beings to be nothing more than a cankerous sore on the face of the earth. Their "environmentally friendly" solutions to perceived problems often ignore the costs that such programs impose, especially upon those least able to bear them, the poor.

The cost of turning massive amounts of food into fuel is, by now, obvious. The Green Revolution, which doubled and tripled grain production around the world, is being undone. Nevertheless, these costs mean little to the Big Green, which seems perfectly happy to manufacture a crisis, as it has in this instance by causing a shortage of food, and then once again lay the blame at the feet of human fertility.

And why not? Thomas Malthus held that overpopulation would naturally be checked by the food shortages and starvation it brought about. He thus advocated a hands-off attitude toward world food crises, insisting that we allow "overpopulated" areas to starve themselves back into balance. The modern environmentalist movement's approach is similarly deadly -- a breathless advocacy of abortion, contraception, and sterilization-with an eye towards reducing the number of people in the world.

"Our hearts are torn because of the wanton murder of the young by evil man. Abortion, My children, is murder, the most foulest of deeds, that is punishable by death! And what is worse than death of the soul?
     "I say unto you, as your Mother, that any man or woman who performs or takes part of this abomination of the murder of the unborn shall be given a heavy penance upon earth, or if this penance is not given upon earth, that person found guilty in the eyes of his God shall suffer eternal damnation in the fires of hell."
- Our Lady of the Roses, December 28, 1976 

The awesome Bayside Prophecies...  https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm  
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

SIN OF OMISSION
"The sin of omission shall condemn many to hell, be they layman or Hierarchy.  I repeat:  not the sin of commission, but the sin of omission will commit many to hell.  Among them there will be also mitres." - Our Lady, October 6, 1980

U.S. SHALL BE FIRST STRUCK
"One of the reasons the Eternal Father chose your city and your state for My appearance was because of abortion, the murder of the holy innocents. Your nation, without repentance, shall be the first struck." - Our Lady, March 15, 1978

THE UNITED STATES SHALL FALL
"How can a great country like the United States fall, you say, My child?  You ask Me in your heart.  I read your heart.  I will tell you why.  Because they have given themselves over to satan.  When a country has lost its morality and seeks the pleasures of the flesh, giving over, themselves over, to all manner of abominations, like homosexuality, and condoning this up the highest courts of the land, then that country shall fall." -
Our Lady of the Roses, November 1, 1985

DOCTORS
"Doctors now are profaning their profession, those who have given themselves over to destroying human life in abortions." 
- Jesus,
June 6, 1987

FOULEST OF DEEDS
"Our hearts are torn because of the wanton murder of the young by evil man. Abortion, My children, is murder, the most foulest of deeds, that is punishable by death! And what is worse than death of the soul?
     "I say unto you, as your Mother, that any man or woman who performs or takes part of this abomination of the murder of the unborn shall be given a heavy penance upon earth, or if this penance is not given upon earth, that person found guilty in the eyes of his God shall suffer eternal damnation in the fires of hell."
- Our Lady,
December 28, 1976 

DESTROYED
"All who become part of or condone abortion, the murder of the young, shall be destroyed!"
- Jesus, June 2, 1979

HUMAN LIFE IS SACRED
"The Eternal Father command that you stop these murders at once! You will not destroy the lives of the unborn. Human life is sacred in the eyes of your God. No man has the right to destroy a life. The Father, He sends this life to you, and only He will decide when it will return back to the Kingdom.
     "Do not, My children, be deceived by the words of the evil ones about you who cry to you of no space left for man. There is space, for My Father has a plan for every life He sends." - Our Lady, August 5, 1971

WILL NEVER BE CONDONED
"You will remember, My children and My child, to guard the young. Your clergy have fallen into darkness. Abortion will never be condoned. But We must have others who fervently will go forward and bring out to the minds of those who have actually seduced the country and the children--bring them the knowledge of Heaven, hell and purgatory. Then they will not have free license to sin."
- Our Lady,
May 28, 1983

GOVERNMENT
"For that one reason among many, the United States will suffer unless there is placed into your government a group that fears the Lord if they cannot love the Lord. They will fear Him and find measures to stop the slaughter of the unborn." -
Our Lady,
April 14, 1984

NUNS
"That is what makes My heart ache, My child. That is one of the reasons Theresa is crying constantly when she looks into the convents and sees what is going on. Many now believe in abortion, the murders of the children; and many have committed this act upon themselves." - Jesus, October 1, 1988

SIXTY MILLION
"I say this for this reason: the Eternal Father is much disturbed at the numbers of abortions being committed throughout your country and the world. These numbers go upwards to fifty to sixty million in one year throughout the world."
- Our Lady,
June 18, 1986

TREATED AS GARBAGE
"O My child, My tears fall upon you all when I see all of the innocent little babies being slaughtered . . . cast into garbage pails like nothing but dirt and scum. They are living human beings! And all murderers shall get their just recompense."
- Our Lady,
March 18, 1983

BOMBS IN THE UNITED STATES
"These interlopers upon the serenity of the United States have dark skins.... With their plans there will be bombs placed in strategic places and many shall die at the hands of these ruffians....
     "One big reason for permitting this disaster in New York would be the abortion mills throughout the city and the country." - Jesus, October 1, 1988

HOLY SPIRIT
"At the time of conception, the Holy Spirit makes the child, and the breath of the Almighty gives it life." -
Our Lady,
June 18, 1991

LIMBO
"And what, My children, are We going to do with all the aborted babies? O My child, I know you feel as I do, for I can see the great distress on your face. What are We going to do, My child? Do you understand when they come to Us, they must go to Limbo? They are in Heaven, a happy place, but they cannot see God." - Our Lady, October 2, 1987

SORROWFULLY
"Sorrowfully, the penance that is to come upon the world for the murders of the unborn shall be a chastisement far greater in severity than man has ever witnessed in the past nor ever shall pass through again. Your world is plunging into a deep chasm of suffering and destruction." -
Our Lady,
May 20, 1978

OATH
"Your once loyal to the oath of a doctor, your once loyal doctors are now butchers! For money they kill the young!" -
Our Lady,
February 10, 1978

WOE TO THE WOMAN
"Know, My child, this simple lesson, that in these days of the latter times, women will seek to cast off their role as mother and a woman. Women will cast it off under the direction of satan, and murder her children. Woe to the woman who does not repent of this vile abomination! She has walked the road to eternal damnation and hell. Repent, O woman, or forever be lost!" -
Our Lady, March 18, 1975
