Under the influence of Paul Ehrlich’s book, “The Population Bomb” and with funding from the US, World Bank, and other Western donor agencies, many third-world countries were forced to forcefully sterilize/castrate their populations in order to get funding and aid (more on this later under LGBTQ+ coercion). Governments around the world instituted measures to forcefully sterilize women and men in their countries to keep them from giving birth. In most cases, these were done secretly. The worst form of mass forced sterilization of both men and women occurs in India and Bangladesh, where health workers are given daily and monthly quotas (number) of people to sterilize/castrate. Failure to meet this minimum number of daily or monthly sterilizations is punishable. Health workers who fail to meet the minimum number of sterilizations are laid off. This situation forces these workers to force and deceptively sterilize poorer women and men without their knowledge. In 1978, the Bangladeshi government aimed to sterilize/castrate 50,000 people per month.
In Bangladesh, the government gives 2,000 Bangladeshi Taka (US$24) to women who are persuaded to undergo tubal ligation and to men who are persuaded to undergo vasectomy. Women are also offered a sari and men are offered a kurta to wear for undergoing sterilization. The referrer, who persuades the woman or man to undergo sterilization gets 300 Bangladeshi Taka (US$3.60). A 50% rise in the amount paid to men coincided with a doubling of the number of vasectomies between 1980 and 1981. Indeed, poor people were most vulnerable to this system as they were more inclined to receive the money and undergo sterilization. Innocent women who attend hospitals for other ailments are also secretly sterilized without their knowledge or consent. This is done by the health workers to help them achieve the minimum quota given to them by the government.
Since 1951 and especially during the time of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, India has been forcefully sterilizing millions of her citizens, either secretly or openly with government support. According to the UN, India alone is accountable for 37% of the world’s female sterilization in 2011. Funded by American philanthropists and institutions such as the Ford and Rockefeller foundations, and influenced by the dangerous theories from the “Population Bomb”, millions of Indian men were forcefully sterilized through vasectomies. When the resistance became too much, it was switched to women and young girls. Encouraged by loans amounting to tens of millions of dollars from the World Bank, the Swedish International Development Authority and the UN Population Fund, India embarked on an ambitious population control programme. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, with the support of her son, Sanjay Gandhi, instituted “the Emergency” in which government officials surrounded villages and forcefully castrated as many men as they could lay hands on.
Many men in India at that time had to run away from their homes, sleep on farms, avoid taking trains, etc., just to avoid being caught and castrated. There was no discrepancy between those with kids and those without kids. Any male who was caught was immediately castrated during this period. “An astonishing 6.2 million Indian men were sterilized in just a year, which was “15 times the number of people sterilized by the Nazis”, according to science journalist Mara Hvistendahl. Two thousand men died from botched operations.” “India carried out nearly 4 million sterilizations during 2013-2014, according to official figures. Less than 100,000 of these surgeries were done on men. More than 700 deaths were reported due to botched surgeries between 2009 and 2012. There were 356 reported cases of complications arising out of the surgeries.”
Under China’s one-child policy that was enforced in the 1970s-2016, millions of kids were killed through abortion, starvation, and neglect by terrified parents. Parents with at least one child were also forcefully sterilized/castrated to prevent them from having additional kids. Some women who even had pregnancies were caught and forced through an abortion to kill their babies and subsequently sterilize them to keep them from getting pregnant again. It was a time of fear and terror in China as millions had to dispose of their additional kids to avoid being found by the government. Many baby girls were thrown away while male children were kept alive, which has now caused female shortages in China. Currently, China has lifted the one-child policy (three kids are now allowed) and is struggling to convince her population to even give birth as birth rates rapidly decline and her population is ageing fast. Indeed, the government has embarked on a campaign to encourage people to have more kids.
Yet, numerous reports accuse China of forcing thousands of women in Xinjiang province (the Uyghurs) into concentration camps for forced sterilization/castrations. Such forced government-backed policies have also been in place in many countries under the US government, World Bank, and other international donor agencies’ funding. In Puerto Rico, the poverty of the country was linked to the very fertile nature of Puerto Rico women. Hence, an aggressive campaign was launched to sterilize as many women as possible. By 1965, approximately 34 percent of women of childbearing age had been sterilized in Puerto Rico, two-thirds of whom were still in their early twenties. “At one point, the levels of sterilization in Puerto Rico were so high that they alarmed the Joint Committee for Hospital Accreditation, who then demanded that Puerto Rican hospitals limit sterilizations to ten per cent of all hospital deliveries in order to receive accreditation. The high popularity of sterilization continued into the 60s and 70s, during which the Puerto Rican government made the procedures available for free and reduced fees.”
The BBC recently reported on a mass campaign by the Danish government against Inuit women in Greenland between the 1920s to the 1970s. Thousands of these indigenous red Indians had birth control coils (IUDs) inserted into them without their knowledge or consent. It is estimated that about half of all the women in Greenland had these implants placed in them. Some of them were as young as 13 years old. The Danish government, in collaboration with physicians in Greenland, implemented this policy such that whenever any woman visited the hospital, the physicians inserted the implants into them. Many of them struggled for years to have children without success. The Danish government has recently apologized for these evils and announced plans to investigate these atrocities and compensate the victims.
A similar programme was also instituted in Peru between 1990 and 2000 to drastically reduce the population of the indigenous non-European tribes and poor people. This mass sterilization against a particular tribe has been described as a genocide and was shamefully funded by the USAID(36 million dollars), the Nippon Foundation, and later, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). In February 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) itself congratulated Peru’s President, Alberto Fujimori, on his success in controlling demographic growth. The thousands of men and women who were forcefully sterilized/castrated during this period are still fighting the government for compensation in court.
In Singapore, people were paid enticing sums of money in exchange for them to be sterilized/castrated; uneducated women were especially targeted. Other countries that instituted government-backed forced sterilizations include Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic (against Romani women since the 1970s), Colombia (where sterilization rates among women remain more than 30% and are cheaper than other forms of birth control), Sweden (between 1934-1976 forcefully sterilized people with disabilities, racial minorities, uneducated people, promiscuous people etc.), and Uzbekistan (as of 2012, thousands of women with more than 2-3 kids were being forcefully and secretly sterilized to reduce the country’s population). There are also reports of HIV-positive women in Mexico, Kenya, and South Africa being forced, induced, or secretly sterilized under the excuse that they will transmit the disease to their offspring when there are medications to prevent such mother-child transmissions.
Recently, the Canadian government rendered an apology for the genocide against the Red Indians in Canada who were forcefully taken away from their parents into boarding houses to keep them away from their parents forever. Thousands of such young kids died and were buried in those boarding schools. Although the government has come out to apologize, the effect of the genocidal actions against these marginalized Indians remains today. These government-backed policies and laws to regulate the population growth around the world are being repeated today under the guise of enforcing human rights through the LGBTQ+ agenda. This shall be discussed in another article.
A happy Sabbath to all…
