Reversing Another Obama Policy, Trump Pulls Funding for UN Population Fund

The Trump administration said Monday it was ending funding to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), long a target of conservatives over concerns that its work in China abets the communist authorities’ controversial population limitation programs.

The administration’s first confirmed cut to a U.N. agency will cost the UNFPA $32.5 million.

Its budget proposal for fiscal year 2018 calls for unspecified reductions to contributions to the U.N. budget, and further “seeks to reduce or end direct funding for international organizations whose missions do not substantially advance U.S. foreign policy interests, are duplicative, or are not well-managed.”

The move comes as a follow up to President Trump’s decision, three days after his inauguration, to restore Reagan-era policy that denies federal funding to abortion-supporting or promoting groups. …

This was one of those many organizations where the name means exactly the opposite. “Population fund” = depopulation fund.

The thing about wars of attrition is that eventually you reach a breaking point and the opposition collapses.

Still not tired of winning.

Clearly, this action is strikingly different from the opinion expressed by Joe Biden (previous administration)“But as I was talking to some of your leaders, you share a similar concern here in China. You have no safety net,”Biden said in the prepared remarks. “Your policy has been one which I fully understand — I’m not second-guessing — of one child per family. The result being that you’re in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable.”

“So hopefully we can act in a way on a problem that’s much less severe than yours, and maybe we can learn together from how we can do that,” he continued.

Gotta love the globalists. Dumb down the masses, thin the herd and merge them all together to take away their culture, identity, individuality. Easier to manage from the Oligarchs in their high palaces.

Probably can’t divert from State to DHS, but there will be plenty of drug lord Civil Asset Forfeiture money for the wall.

Forced abortion is not fixing a problem, but creating one. That kind of spending is never to fix problems besides.

UN Agenda 21 calls for reduction of Earth’s population by 85%. Them (the “elite”) and enough serfs to keep them fed, clothed and housed. The only question is, if we don’t start killing them now, when will it be too late?
