Eugenics has had a long history. Dr. Harmon Smith is from Duke University. Back in the late 1970’s, he said that North Carolina had one of the most involuntary sterilization programs in the nation. The Eugenics Board of North Carolina ended or was disbanded in that time. The Eugenics Board in North Carolina started in 1933. This was when the General Assembly formed a sterilization law that 38 states had such law. This law made sterilization under the sick justification of “the public good.” Anybody of an IQ under 70 was mostly sterilized. In Moya Woodside’s Sterilization in North Carolina (1950), it states: “The duty to institute sterilization proceedings is mandatory on ‘the responsible head of any State penal or charitable institution,’ (In practice, this means the correctional schools, county homes, and mental institutions.) or on the county superintendent of public welfare…. The law appears to have a compulsory character, since it is made the duty of institution or welfare superintendents to bring forward suitable cases for sterilization; and sworn consent is not required from the individual if he or she is a minor or inmate of a state mental institution.” Under the law, the Eugenics Board had jurisdiction in cases of “feeble-mindedness.” So, the whole sterilization situation was based on eugenics. The Human Betterment League of North Carolina was created in 1945. This has been a part of the eugenic sterilization movement. The director and charter member of the league was Alice Shelton Gray. She worked with the Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger. Alice Gray had a big role in rearing Gordon Gray (or the son of Alice’s cousin Bowman Gray). Bowman Gray founded the Bowman Gray Medical School in Winston-Salem. In 1940 to 1941, C. Nash Herndon was a Carnegie Fellow and he worked with Alice Gray in the eugenic sterilization effort. He later succeeded her for quite a few years as Director of the Human betterment league beginning in 1948. He was President of the American Eugenics Society from 1952 to 1955. This was in the time that Gordon Gray was the President of the Greater University of North Carolina from 1950 to 1955. Gordon was the Secretary of the Army back in 1949. When Gray was the head of UNC, he was appointed by President Truman to be the Director of the Psychological Strategy Board in Washington, D.C. in 1951. Gray’s college degree was in psychology ironically. Gordon Gray was a Democrat, CFR member, and one of his son named Boyden Gray became a Republican in 1977 (after serving as a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice and 33rd Degree Freemason Earl Warren). Gordon Gray was the Deputy Chief-of-Staff for Vice President George H.W. Bush for 8 years (and has been chief counsel for President Bush at the White House). It is not known to what extent Boyden Gray shared the eugenic philosophy of Alice Gray, or to what extent he disagreed with it, but it is interesting to note the high level of government contacts the Gray family had over the years with both Democrats and Republicans. The American government supported eugenics like policies. There is the Report from Iron Mountain on the Possibility and Desirability of Peace from 1967. This report wanted eugenics, new religions, and other globalist ideas to maintain people. Back in 1963, high-ranking officials in the Kennedy administration appointed a secret commission (called the Special Study Group) “to determine the nature of the problems that would confront the United States if and when a condition of ‘permanent peace’ should arrive, and to draft a program for dealing with this contingency.” There are those like author of the Report named Leonard Lewin that claimed that it was a hoax. Yet, in the article called, “News of War and Peace You’re Not Ready For” (Washington Post Book World, November 26, 1967), Harvard economist John Kenneth Galbraith, writing under the pen name of Herschell McLandress, said the Iron Mountain meeting did take place because he was invited to it and told to keep the invitation “strictly confidential.” This agenda is a part of a population control strategy beyond just about eugenics. There is Many Mission from 1991 was written by C.X. Larrabee. He wrote for the RTI or the Research Triangle Institute of North Carolina and the Carolina Population Center. Larrabeee wrote that population control wants people to have lesser children in exchange for a bigger role in women in the workplace. There is nothing wrong with gender equality in the workplace though so I want to want that clear. The Integrated Population and Development Planning came under the RTI/USAID project (from 1980-1988) to give technical assistance on policy analysis and planning to 50 countries in all regions of the developing world. Larrabee’s book also indicates that concerning education, RTI not only conducted and administered the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) from 1969 to 1983, but also that “RTI’s association began in 1966, not 1969, and the assessment’s name then wasn’t NAEP but ECAPE. This Exploratory Committee on Assessing the Progress of Education was already being financed by the Carnegie Corporation and Ford Foundation.” So, population control is a part of a bigger plan and strategy.
Glen Beck has taken historical revisionism into another level. He denied that Dr. Martin Luther King died fighting for labor rights. Beck tried to mock the AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka for saying that Dr. Martin Luther King died while fighting for public union workers, which he died. That is why Dr. King was shot while in Memphis trying to support striking municipal workers and Benjamin Mays (or King’s mentor and friend) spoke of King’s dedication to fight for a just wage for workers. We just a person on the content of their character and many reactionaries lack character. April 4th is the 43rd anniversary of the day that Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated. He spoke on the behalf of black garbage collecting in Memphis, Tennessee. King wanted the protesting workers to have a decent wage and labor rights. In fact, his “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech delivered the day before his assassination wanted fair dealings with workers in Memphis who were sanitation workers. Mayor Loeb didn’t want the workers to have reformers until after Dr. King was murdered. All workers need better safety standards and a decent wage. The union, which had been granted a charter by AFSCME in 1964, had attempted a strike in 1966, but it failed, in large part because workers were unable to arouse the support of Memphis's religious community or middle class. Conditions for black sanitation workers worsened when Henry Loeb became mayor in January 1968. Loeb refused to take dilapidated trucks out of service or pay overtime when men were forced to work late-night shifts. Sanitation workers earned wages so low that many were on welfare and hundreds relied on food stamps to feed their families. This proves that all people should experience justice including the poor. Glen Beck’s historical revisionism is nothing new, but his anti-union rhetoric is old and tired. Without unions, we wouldn’t have the minimum wage, improved workers conditions, and other real benefits that we Americans take for granted constantly. Glen Beck is an intelligent, so he might ignore information in order to promote his agenda. I believe in collective bargaining. I don’t believe unions are perfect at every single circumstance, but union busting don’t solve our problems though. Dr. King was expanding in to other issues like health care, Vietnam, materialism, and other foreign policy issues.
The Libyan intervention is still going on. Now, Joe Biden once threatened Bush impeachment if he bombed Iran without gaining congressional approval. This was back in 2007. Now, he is supported the military strikes in Libya. He is using the royalty from the United Arab Emirates and cajoling them to support Obama’s unconstitutional war waged on Libya. This occurred without Congressional approval in early 2011. He was running for President at the time. Many puppets tell lies from the elite to gain power and influence in the American politic. Some politicians promise the moon and deliver nothing or little to the people. The United Nations and the elite wanted air strikes in Libya. The alternative media is one of the few places where the truth is expressed really. YouTube even admitted to censoring the view count on Biden’s impeachment video. The Obama administration is engaging in military aggression against Libya, yet Biden said back in 2007 (in the Chris Matthews show from MSNBC) that it would be an impeachable offense if Bush attacked Iranian interests without Congressional approval. Under the headline Could Obama be Impeached over Libya? Let’s ask Biden, the video has been drawing thousands of hits as viewers have drawn the comparison to the subversion of Congressional authority by Biden and Obama via US involvement in UN sanctioned attacks on pro-Gaddafi forces and buildings. The video in Youtube is stuck in about 301 views. The actions in Libya are completely hypocritical and unconstitutional. It’s a violation of the oaths that both Biden and Obama swore to protect. Google CEO Eric Schmidt is a part of YouTube as Google is the parent of the YouTube Company. Biden in another video found out that Bush invading Iran without Congressional was an impeachable offense after using expert opinions from 5 leading constitutional scholars. In 2007, Barack Obama made the same statements as Biden. He noted that: “….The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.” “As President, I will not assert a constitutional authority to deploy troops in a manner contrary to an express limit imposed by Congress and adopted into law.” Obama also stated. Is he following his words from years back? We know the answer to that question.
