"I got into the family planning deal a bit earlier than you. It was April 1929 at the Harvard Liberal Club when I was a sophomore. Margaret Sanger came and spoke and wowed the whole crowd. I became an immediate convert. Then at medical school her son Grant Sanger was a classmate and I go to know Margaret personally. Quite a gal!" (link)
Just as telling was Ravenholt's reply:
"I have known since the 1960s, when you were torn whether to accept the Population Council invitation, that we shared a deep interest in world population problems, but I did not, until receiving your letter, know how it began with Margaret Sanger's speech at the Harvard Liberal Club in 1929. 1 wish I had been there!
Although you did not devote yourself full-time to family planning, as I did during my years with A.I.D., you nevertheless, through EIS offspring and technical contributions, as with AID's Research Committee, contributed in large measure to the strength of the preventive population programs that were implemented. To my way of thinking, epidemiology is the creme de la creme of population sciences." (link)
The truth is, the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) is teeming with eugenicists and population control fanatics, thanks to Michael Fumento's hero, Alexander Langmuir. Most people have never heard of the EIS. It was and remains a semi-secret, elite unit of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). In addition to being a hotbed for eugenicist and population control fanatics, the EIS (otherwise known as the "medical CIA") has a very sordid history that has been carefully kept from the public by its willing accomplices in the media (many of them EIS alumni themselves). It's time the EIS got the attention it deserves. But with people like Michael Fumento, supposedly one of our own, running around heaping unqualified praise on the likes of Langmuir and the EIS, don't expect it to happen anytime soon--GGG

If you would like to be added to the RETHINKING AIDS PING LIST drop me a FReepmail. AIDS is the biggest public health scam in medical history. Like global warming, AIDS is being used to push a powerful leftist political agenda. For over two decades the Public Health Establishment has used your tax dollars and the full power of the federal government to wage a massive propaganda (and intimidation) campaign designed to (A) dupe the American public into believing that HIV is the cause of AIDS (B) scare the public into thinking "we are all at risk" (C) coverup the extreme toxicity of AIDS chemotherapy drugs (which are not just used on "fast-track" gays and junkies, but also given to pregnant mothers, infants, and children) (D) use this fear to push a leftist social agenda that includes socialized medicine, and the promotion of homosexuality and explicit sex "education" to tender-aged school children (E) use their "public health mandate" to bypass the authority of parents and local school boards who object to their social engineering schemes (F) create a massive federal bureaucracy encouraging the use of addictive drugs, to include prescription heroine (G) use threats and intimidation to silence dissenting scientists and to keep the press from covering the debate (H) and finally, to use AIDS as a model to push similar social agendas with respect to future epidemics. Every single point above can be documented on my profile page. |
Because despite his belief/support in eugenics, he actually contributed in a huge way to Medical Science, and doctors worldwide use his contribution daily to fight disease, illness, and death. Life is filled with dichotomy.

This would be a great place to start if you find the time to get up to speed re: the political agenda driving AIDS. If you’re interested see my first post, especially the link entitled “sordid history.” And finally you might want to give “The Hidden Agenda Behind HIV” (reply #11) a read. I think you will find that the political agenda driving the phony “War on AIDS” is the biomedical equivalent of the globalist agenda driving the phony war on global warming. Finally, if you’re up for a few extra pings per week, I would love to add you to my infrequent “Rethinking AIDS” ping list.
