In the May 1985 issue of Fusion magazine (which the government shut down in its vendetta against Lyndon LaRouche) a solemn warning was given about a biological holocaust in the making, under conditions created by IMF austerity dictates, especially in Africa and the Third World nations. Warren J. Hamerman suggested in a 13 page report of that issue, that the world is raising towards a holocaust of pandemic proportions that may reach a point of no return.
Warren Hamerman traced the connection between poverty and pandemic diseases in the more traditional sense, related to cholera, malaria, hepititis B, but also to AIDS, and suggested back in 1985 that emergency measures are needed to avoid a catastrophe. He suggested that a multifaceted emergency assistance program is needed to upgrade Africa's nutritional levels, to create on that continent a safe water-supply system for all populations, to provide immunization, to create conditions for sanitation, etc, - and all this was needed just to repair the damage that the draconian IMF conditionalities have caused in the human populations. He also pointed out that this emergency assistance is not only required just to save Africa from the threat of pandemic diseases, but is a necessary project to protect the world as a whole. 25 million tones of immediate emergency food supplies were estimated to be needed to bring a breakdown under control that had been developing since 1974.
In the 1985, unlike today, such quantities of emergency food stocks did exist. The required assistance could have been provided. The transportation systems did also exist, which may no longer be the case today.
As nothing was done, the breakdown continued. Africa carried on playing its role as the breeding pond of the world, for pandemic diseases. Not only has the HIV virus (that causes AIDS) proliferated wildly on the continent and spread across the world, the breeding pond has also been busy evolving constantly new strains of it. In addition, the deadly new diseases that emerge from the breeding pond, make headlines, briefly, and then recede into the background. Under the most ideal breeding conditions, such as exists when the human immune system is severely depressed through hunger and poverty, the deadly strains of AIDS, or the Ebola virus, could begin to mutate wildly and evolve airborne strains that become aerosol infectious. The late Bertrand Russell would rejoice at such prospects, were he still alive, who has guided British policy to a significant extend. He wrote in 1923: "The white populations of the world will soon cease to increase. The Asiatic races will be longer, and the Negroes still longer, before their birth rate falls sufficiently to make their numbers stable without help of war and pestilence... Until that happens, the benefits aimed at by socialism can only be partially realized, and the less prolific races will have to defend themselves against the more prolific by methods which are disgusting even if they are necessary."*(Bertrand Russell, - Prospects of Industrial Civilization, 1923)
The most disgusting part is, that such an ideology can become policy, even though the real need is in the opposite.
The reality is in the opposite. The world needs more people to develop its potential for uplifting the universal status of man. Human survival depends on all people being as healthy as possible, in order for society to be protected from disease and be productive for a richer and fuller existence than primitivism and poverty provide.
Every increment of poverty is a denial of the nature of man and opens the flood gates to diseases. While policies have been put in force for the deliberate murdering of the dark skinned people of this planet, especially in Africa, and this 'project' has been made an aspect of international financial policy, the Malthusian game of population reduction is thereby enhanced and is taking a huge toll on the populations. This disgusting game that is played with the lives of hundreds of millions of people, is not only totally unnecessary, utterly immoral, barbaric, and unspeakably cruel, it is also plain stupid.
