while i dont agree with the assault weapons ban, because i feel the 2nd amendment is there to protect us from the govt, LAM is right on this. there are so many bio/chem weapons lethal and non-lethal weapons that the military possesses, its scary. i have to train for cbrne attacks all the time, and i hope i never have to dawn my m50
so i dont know what to think.. at least from a logical standpoint on what should be done.
US government reports & documents, briefings from global think tanks, etc. have all been talking about depopulation since the 60's and 70's. obviously none of this stuff ever gets reported by the "lamestream media".
here are 2 examples:
* this one an investigative piece about policy co-authored by Henry Kissenger
EIR Special Report
The Haig-Kissinger Depopulation Policy

Investigations by EIR have uncovered a planning apparatus operating
outside the control of the White House whose sole purpose is to reduce the
world's population by 2 billion people through war, famine, disease, and any
other means necessary.
This apparatus, which includes various levels of the government, is
determining U.S. foreign policy. In every political hotspot-EI Salvador, the
so-called arc of crisis in the Persian Gulf, Latin America, Southeast Asia,
and in Africa-the goal of U.S. foreign policy is popUlation reduction.
The targeting agency for the operation is the National Security Council's
Ad Hoc Group on Population Policy. Its policy-planning group is in the U.S.
State Department's Office of Population Affairs, established in 1975 by
Henry Kissinger.
This group drafted the Carter administration's Global 2000 document,
which calls for global population reduction, and the same apparatus is
conducting the civil war in EI Salvador as a conscious depopulation project.
"There is a single theme behind all our work-we must reduce popUlation
levels," said Thomas Ferguson, the Latin American case officer for the State
Department's Office of Population Affairs (OPA). "Either they [governments]
do it our way, through nice clean methods or they will get the kind of
mess that we have in EI Salvador, or in Iran, or in Beirut. Population is a
political problem. Once population is out of control it requires authoritarian
government, even fascism, to reduce it.
"The professionals, " said Ferguson, "aren't interested in lowering population
for humanitarian reasons. That sounds nice. We look at resources
and environmental constraints. We look at our strategic needs, and we say
that this country must lower its popUlation-or else we will have trouble. So
steps are taken. EI Salvador is an example where our failure to lower
population by simple means has created the basis for a national security
crisis. The government of EI Salvador failed to use our programs to lower
their population. Now they get a civil war because of it. ... There will be
dislocation and food shortages. They still have too many people there."

The Global 2000 Report to the President

cut and pasted from bottom of the 1st page:
* The Global 2000 Study, initiated by President Carter in 1977, is a three-year effort by
the federal government to discover the long-term implications of present world trends in
population, natural resources and the environment. The report was prepared by the President's
Council on Environmental Quality of which Gus Speth is Chairman, in conjunction
with the Department of State and eleven other federal agencies. Gerald O. Barney is the
study director. Global 2000 was transmitted to President Carter on July 24, 1980. The following
is an edited version of the report. Copies of the report in its entirety may be obtained
