PRESIDENT BUSH SURPRISES PRO-LIFE LEADERS BY SELECTING KISSINGER FOR 9-11 POST

Kissinger Strongly Implicated in Population Control and Abortion

WASHINGTON, November 29, 2002 (LifeSiteNews.com) - U.S. President George W. Bush announced Wednesday that he had selected former secretary of state Henry Kissinger as chairman of a new independent commission to investigate the September 11 attacks. Pro-life leaders were surprised by the selection given the President's aversion to coercive abortion and Kissinger's close association with it.

President Bush was praised by the pro-life community internationally for his defunding of the United Nations Population Fund due to their association with the forced abortion and coercive sterilization practices in China. However, Kissinger was intimately associated with coercive population control as he is the author of the now-declassified national security study memorandum calling for population control - coercive if necessary, in the third world.

Gilles Grondin, a veteran United Nations diplomat and past President of Le Mouvement en faveur de la Vie/Campaign Quebec Vie, (the pro-life movement in Quebec), told LifeSite that he was surprised by President Bush's selection of Kissinger. Grondin, who with his vast UN experience has been one of the most successful pro-life lobbyists at the UN, points out that Kissinger's memo NSSM 200 formed the basis of U.S. foreign policy in the area of population.

Grondin explained that the Memorandum suggested that competition from new world powers would rise when developing nations had sufficient populations to utilize their national resources to their full potential. Thus, NSSM 200 was about ensuring U.S. strategic, economic, and military interest, at the expense of developing countries, by proposing population control including by coercive means if mere propaganda could not succeed.

But what do his views on population control have to do with investigating the September 11, 2001 attacks?

A most excellent point.

The recent elections were by no means a mandate for any particular issue other than anti-terrorism and possibly anti-Democrat. The anti-abortion views of the Republican party have nothing whatsoever to do with this.

What lost control of the Senate last time was the perception of the voting independents and conservative Demoncrats that the paramount Republican issue was right to life, over running the country's economy and even over national defense.

[Polycarp]

And you swallow Askel5's bullshit about Kissinger hook, line, and sinker, Poly.

I have never seen anything Askel5 has posted regarding Bush or Kissinger. My knowledge of this stuff came from correspondence with a physician from the Phillipines, the head of HLI there, as well as the Diocese of Manila's web sites, and PRI and HLI. NSSM 2000 has had a devestating affect on these Catholic third world countries.

I'm sick to death of you Judie Brown followers who make the good the enemy of the perfect.

The article I posted came from Canada. Has Judie Brown commented on this too? Good for her if so.

I'm a CINO how, buster? I'm as pro-life as you, but I don't believe everything that spews from THE NEW AMERICAN.

I've never read it, buster. You smacked Don-o in the chops for his simple comments, buster, calling him a low-IQ idiot. And frankly those comments are the comments not of a Catholic but of one who stuck their finger in the air of non-conservative attitudes of this thread and found it safe to pile on.

You're going off half-cocked again.

You've provoked me again. Oh well...

Read up on Kissinger and NSSM 2000.

Talk to Third World pro-life leaders who have seen the effects of HIS policies first hand, as I have.

Then come back to this thread and apologize to me and Don-O, buster.

I expect this kind of crap from the self-professed "conservatives" on this Forum. You should know better.

[L.N. Smithee]

Rice should be sacked!

I agree. But sadly, she doesn't even know I am alive.

[skinny old man]

As near as I can tell,the issue missed is;Why was he resurrected at all?

Kissinger is your basic globalist,A CFR man member of the Tri Lateral Commission,a Bildeberger ect...

What about that?

The birth control/abortion issue is a Rockefeller mandate anyway...

[Common Tator]

I was around when Nixon was president and Kissinger was first national Security adviser and then secretary of state.

Nixon was his own Secretary of state. But he was a real loner. Anyone who knew Nixon knew he had a half dozen people he dealt with and no one else.

Kissinger had all the power of a telephone. Nations, senators, congressmen, ambassadors et all, would talk to Kissinger. He would go talk to Nixon and then Kissinger got back to the contact with Nixon's decision. The only authority Kissinger had was to listen, ask Nixon and get back to the contact.

When Kissinger got appointed to be national security adviser he was a Professor at Harvard. Nixon came to trust him and soon the only way to do anything on foreign policy was see Henry. Henry would see Nixon and get back. The secretary of state did not like being out of the loop, so with the usual Nixon problem solving technique, Dick made Henry Secretary of state.

The media could not believe that any Republican president could tie his own shoes so they atributed every thing to Kissinger. Henry was their only real contact with the media on foreign affairs.

Even Jerry Ford ordered Kissinger around. Jerry, by the way, does a mean Kissinger imitation. It is a riot.

Nixon liked Henry because he was loyal, followed orders with German precision and kept his mouth shut.

Jerry Ford liked Henry because he was loyal, followed orders with German precision and kept his mouth shut.

Dubya Bush likes Henry because he is loyal, follows orders with German precision and keeps his mouth shut.

I do know that doing anything Nixon did not like or failure to do as you were told could cost you your job. That was one of his big problems. Nixons would just blow off steam and people like John Dean would go do it.

[sinkspur]

You're new. Those of us upbraiding for Polycarp for his litmus tests are as pro-life as he is, and probably more pro-life than you.

Kissinger's role on the 9/11 commission has nothing to do with abortion. Nothing.

But, in the Judie Brown world Polycarp and you, apparently, live in, pro-choicers ought to be rejected out of hand for anything.

That's brain-dead thinking.

[Polycarp]

Anyone who looks at my profile page knows my name from my links there. I'm certainly not hiding anything.

[11th Earl of Mar]

BTW, I am not a RINO, never been a DemocRAT, am anti-abortion, and the like but I still probably don't meet your description of a conservative because I don't run around the Country claiming the sky is falling if President Bush appoints someone who is not anti-abortion to a position that has nothing to do with abortion.

By Polycrap's logic, we should believe that Bill Clinton is a pro-lifer since he appointed an anti-abortion man [Boston Mayor Raymond Flynn?] to be the ambassador to the Vatican.

[sinkspur]

Talk to Third World pro-life leaders who have seen the effects of HIS policies first hand, as I have.

What do these have to do with the 9/11 commission?

What do these have to do with the 9/11 commission?

What do these have to do with the 9/11 commission?

Then come back to this thread and apologize to me and Don-O, buster.

Not likely, especially when we're up to 60 posts, and neither you nor he have said what any of this has to do with Kissinger's position on the 9/11 commission.

You despise pro-choicers. Bush, wisely, is not going to govern this country without the contributions of half of the population.

[power2]

Thanks for taking the point position of the pro-life crowd. The incoming fire is tremendous.

[11th Earl of Mar]

Choose carefully the hill that you, prolifers, will defend alone, because the armies need you and you need them to defeat the enemy.

My point is that we will not get anywhere if we choose to do battle like this.

And if we begin fights to keep all abortions supporters out of law enforcement, we will lose the war.

[Republican Wildcat]

Back again with more silly, dishonest, intellectual bankrupt posts, I see. Oh well. If you insist on continuing to make yourself look silly, be my guest.

[Polycarp]

This is demographic WARFARE, and this WARFARE has taken more lives via abortion and abortifacient contraceptives than all the lives lost to US military action in our country's history. Kissinger is personally guilty of the deaths of tens of millions of humans, snuffed out of existence by his NSSM 2000 policy level directives.

Comparisons to the Nazis have become cheap, a dime a dozen. Yet this one man's policy level decisions, spelled out in NSSM 2000, are probably directly responsible for more deaths than the Holocaust via abortions alone.

But to you, in your situational ethics little world, there's nothing wrong with appointing such a godless man, responsible for the blood of MILLIONS, to any position, as long as it has nothing to do with abortion?

And you have the unmitigated gall to insult the intelligence of Don-O?

[APBaer]

"any position, as long as it has nothing to do with abortion?"

So finally, 73 posts on, even you have to admit that Kissingers position has nothing to do with abortion.

[APBaer]

If being prolife is *YOUR* criterion for the 9/11 position why not nominate James Kopp, he's pro-life, well, at least partially?

[SwordofTruth]

And few of your comprehend what it truly means to be Christian when you so smugly shrug off your duties to protect His least ones.

Many here are Christians in word only, much like Bush.

[sinkspur]

But to you, in your situational ethics little world, there's nothing wrong with appointing such a godless man, responsible for the blood of MILLIONS, to any position, as long as it has nothing to do with abortion?

I'll need more sources than the flimsy stuff you've provided to believe your hyperbole about Kissinger.

Oh, and names, dates, situations where deaths occurred, number of deaths, etc. You know. The statistics that make accusations a reality, and not just pure hysteria.

[L.N. Smithee]

Do we all forget so soon that the Clinton administration considered all non-violent pro-life protestors to be domestic terrorists, and all its leaders worthy of FBI surveilance? And now a rabid pro-abort CINO, Tom Ridge, is in charge of a big brother/ big government leviathon, in charge of defining and identifying terrorists, domestic and foreign, that even Clinton couldn't have dreamed up.

Good God, dude, cool your jets!

With Al-Qaeda cells hiding in plain sight all over the country, and the possibility of ground-to-air rocket launchers fresh in the minds of everyone who is halfway paying attention, it's astounding that you think Ridge's priority is going to be the few and far between clinic bombers, much less peaceful protestors! Especially since pro-lifers will almost certainly benefit from more non-activist judges being chosen by the same President Bush and confirmed by a GOP-led Congress!

You FREeepers are a pathetic sort of conservatives, it seems. And few of your comprehend what it truly means to be Christian when you so smugly shrug off your duties to protect His least ones.

Hello, McFly, helloooo?

Explain how keeping Kissinger away from this job will protect a single one of them. And this time, try to make sense.

Henry the Kriminal to head "independent" 9/11 investigation commission November 28, 2002 If there is a major criminal out there, George W. Bush is sure to choose him or her to serve in some official capacity. Birds of a feather? No wonder George didn't want any part of the World Criminal Court There is a sick hilarity to the idea of Henry Kissinger, who is a wanted war criminal in Chile, Argentina, and France for his role in the overthrow of Salvador Allende and his association with the terrorist network, Operation Condor, serving as head of the "independent" commission that will investigate the 9/11 attacks. It's comparable to appointing Hannibal Lechter to preside over the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. In his Slate article, The Latest Kissinger Outrage , Christopher Hitchens, who has developed a fondness for right-wingers, lays out Kissinger's crimes and asks, "Does the Bush administration feel proud of appointing a man who is wanted in so many places, and wanted furthermore for his association with terrorism and crimes against humanity? Or does it hope to limit the scope of the inquiry to those areas where Kissinger has clients?" To complete the circle, perhaps Bush can find a job for retired Major General Richard Secord of Iran-contra infamy. Poor Secord must be feeling left out. The F Words It is interesting to note how many so-called liberals, progressives and Democrats shy away from the words "fascism" and "fascist." Yet, they are silent when the right-wingers apply the words "unpatriotic," "commie" and "socialist" to us, and spit out the word "liberal" as though it were an epithet. The Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary provides this definition of fascism: A political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition The Italian dictator Benito Mussolini gave this definition: "Fascism should rightly be called corporatism, as it is a merger of state and corporate power." Let's add up where we are. We already had the merger of state and corporate power long before the stolen presidential election of 2000 and five members of the Supreme Court, instead of allowing the Florida vote recount to go forth, substituted their votes for that of the American electorate and thereby installed George W. Bush in the White House. Is not George W. a dictatorial leader, especially when Bob Woodward, in his new book, Bush at War, quotes him as saying, "I'm the commander—see, I don't need to explain—I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." Dictators don't explain things. Did not Congress comply with Dictator Bush's demands that they illegally amend the Constitution by passing the USA PATRIOT Act and the Homeland Security Act, which he then took it upon himself to ratify by signing both bills? Now we have a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, coupled with severe economic and social regimentation and the beginnings of forcible suppression of opposition. Fascism by any other name is still fascism. Splitting Hairs The word "democracy" when applied to the US seems to send some folks ballistic. We get letters scolding us that the US is a "republic," not a "democracy," oftentimes accompanied by long discourses—even references—about the evils of pure democracies. Yes, a pure democracy is among the worst forms of government. But there are democracies and democracies, just as there are republics and republics. Might we let the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary put this hair-splitting to rest? Note the italics where both converge: democracy [noun] 1 a : government by the people; especially: rule of the majority b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections 2 : a political unit that has a democratic government 3 capitalized : the principles and policies of the Democratic party in the U.S. 4 : the common people especially when constituting the source of political authority 5 : the absence of hereditary or arbitrary class distinctions or privileges republic [noun] 1 a (1) : a government having a chief of state who is not a monarch and who in modern times is usually a president (2) : a political unit (as a nation) having such a form of government b (1) : a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law (2) : a political unit (as a nation) having such a form of government c: a usually specified republican government of a political unit 2 : a body of persons freely engaged in a specified activity 3 : a constituent political and territorial unit of the former nations of Czechoslovakia, the U.S.S.R., or Yugoslavia Truth and Consequences for Some German Justice Minister Herta Däubler-Gmelin found herself pressured to resign for observing, "Bush wants to divert attention from his domestic problems. It's a classic tactic. It's one that Hitler also used." Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretein's communications director, Françoise Ducros, in an offhand, private remark to a reporter at the NATO summit in Prague, correctly called George W. "a moron" and now she has resigned As these public officials have discovered, speaking the truth can set off a firestorm in political and diplomatic circles. But there have been no repercussions for Bush when he told Bob Woodward (Bush at War), "I loathe [North Korean President] Kim Jong-iI." Nor has Bush been sent packing back to Crawford, Texas, for further telling Woodward that "underlying his foreign policy 'there is a value system that cannot be compromised, and that is the values that we praise. And if the values are good enough for our people, they ought to be good enough for others, not in a way to impose because these are God-given values. These aren't United States-created values. These are values of freedom and the human condition and mothers loving their children.'" If the above aren't outrageous enough, Woodward quotes him as saying, "You can't talk your way to a solution to a problem. And the United States is in a unique position right now. We are the leader. And a leader must combine the ability to listen to others, along with action." Is this guy a class act or what?

[Polycarp]

I don't give a damn what the position is, you don't appoint a Mengele wannabe to a supposedly pro-life Republican Administration's commission.

Is there any candidate you would oppose being placed in such a position, based on moral grounds alone, not political?
