I just googled "Bush+eugenics"...

[devilgrrl]

There were so many results my browser froze.... pretty goddamned disturbing if you ask me?

1. Did you know?

Babs and Poppy are first cousins.

4. Really?

Tell me the family linkage. Who was the common ancestor?

11. That would explain the mutant offspring

2. ~24,900 Results

I saw some articles tying granddaddy Prescott to the eugenics movement...not surprising in the least, given his financial support for Hitler - support that enabled Hitler to build his war machine in the years leading up to WW II.

3. There's a pharmaceutical company based in TX

which has Bush/Baker ties all over it, incl. ties to Rice U. (which also has that Baker institute, if you recall). I never can remember the name of it. But there are some very interesting things that have gone on with that company and some of the forced vaccinations (IIRC -- which is why I'd like to remember the name, so I can check it out again). I've spent some time googling some keyword combinations that might bring it up, to no avail.

IMO these people are STILL into eugenics. Then there's the PNAC document which alludes to genetically-linked bioterrorism agents (kill off certain parts of the world population by targeting their genetic code).

5. Check PLANNED PARENTHOOD and EUGENICS

Margaret Sanger was trying to extermine blacks.

And all those population control Malthus/Social Darwinism types
only differ in who they want to die first and how.

6. Oh, you mean this?

Not content with exaggeration and distortion, anti-choice activists have also fabricated and attributed to Sanger points of view that she, in fact, found abhorrent. This fact sheet is designed to separate fact from fiction and to further explain Sanger's views and the background against which they must be judged.

Sanger and Eugenics
Eugenics is the science of improving hereditary qualities by socially controlling human reproduction. Unable to foment popular opposition to Margaret Sanger's accomplishments and the organization she founded, Sanger's critics attempt to discredit them by intentionally confusing her views on "fitness" with eugenics, racism, and anti-Semitism. Margaret Sanger was not a racist, an anti-Semite, or a eugenicist. Eugenicists, like the Nazis, were opposed to the use of abortion and contraception by healthy and "fit" women (Grossmann, 1995). In fact, Sanger's books were among the very first burned by the Nazis in their campaign against family planning ("Sanger on Exhibit," 1999/2000). Sanger actually helped several Jewish women and men and others escape the Nazi regime in Germany ("Margaret Sanger and the 'Refugee Department'," 1993). Sanger's disagreement with the eugenicists of her day is clear from her remarks in The Birth Control Review of February 1919:

Eugenists imply or insist that a woman's first duty is to the state; we contend that her duty to herself is her first duty to the state. We maintain that a woman possessing an adequate knowledge of her reproductive functions is the best judge of the time and conditions under which her child should be brought into the world. We further maintain that it is her right, regardless of all other considerations, to determine whether she shall bear children or not, and how many children she shall bear if she chooses to become a mother (1919a).

7. Bush is proof that eugenics was a stupid idea

If Bush represents the progress the followers of eugenics made toward achieving genetic perfection, then they better go back to the test tube and try again.


Maybe leave out the extra chromosome.

8. Check out Edwin Black's book

"War against the Weak." A history of eugenics in the US with a mention of Germany. He also wrote the book on IBM and Germany.

10. Yes! I do want to check out that book!

Thanks for bringing it up! :-)
