THE 10 STAGES OF GENOCIDE
1 - CLASSIFICATION: People are divided into “us and them”
2 - SYMBOLIZATION: People are forced to identify themselves
3 - DISCRIMINATION: People begin to face systematic discrimination
4 - DEHUMANIZATION: People equated with animals, vermin, or diseases
5 - ORGANIZATION: The government creates special groups (police/military) to enforce policies
6 - POLARIZATION: The government broadcasts propaganda to turn the populace against the group
=============== WE ARE HERE ===============
7 - PREPARATION: Official action to remove/relocate people begins
8 - PERSECUTION: Beginning of murders, theft of property, trial massacres
9 - EXTERMINATION: Wholesale elimination of the group. It is “extermination” and not murder because the people are not considered human
10 - DENIAL: The government denies it has committed any crime
And gates has been telling us all along.
Yup,
“We are Here!”

Yes indeed; Dr. Stanton really hit it out of the park with this one.
Wikipedia actually does a good job of explaining the 10 stages.
