The Hidden Agenda In The RH Bill

The Hidden Agenda In The RH Bill
By Dennis Yu (dennisjyu@gmail.com)

Aside from the IPPF, Hillary Clinton (the current U.S. Secretary of State) is also aggressively pushing for a worldwide RH legislation (mainly in the Third World countries). When her husband, Bill Clinton, was the President, he pushed for two things in the Cairo Conference (1994). First, he wanted a universal access to family planning including “safe” abortion. Second, he wanted a global mobilization of resources for population programs.

This, in turn, is coherent with the Memorandum 200. The complete name is National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for US Security and Overseas Interests. This was written in 1974 and was kept secret until 1980. The report says that the increase of the population of developing countries can endanger the future of the US. At that time, the US population was 6% of the world’s population and yet it consumes 1/3 of the planet’s resources. High birth rate in a (developing) country rich in natural resources is risky for the US’s interests. These countries will become “competitors” of the US. Hence, the strategy is to put a population control to neutralize this danger. There were 13 countries identified where the US has special political and strategic interests: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Brazil, Philippines, Thailand, Egypt, Turkey, Ethiopia and Columbia.

The sincerity of Uncle Sam has been questioned many times. In the Iraq War, the “official statement” was to destroy the Weapons of Mass Destruction. Yeah, right! But where are the WMDs? Even Alan Greenspan, the ex-U.S. FED chairman, in his book , The Age of Turbulence, said that the U.S. did it for its interest in Iraq’s oil. Of course, everybody knew it!

Most, if not all, of the “aids” that the U.S. gives to the Philippines have so many “strings attached”. Not only the US but also World Bank and International Monetary Fund attach certain conditions for population control. The foreign debt is crippling the Philippine economy. More than half of the BIR’s inefficient collection of taxes goes to foreign debt servicing. And part of the little money that is left, a whopping P13 billion, the pro-RH legislators want for condoms!

The Cairo Conference’s Program of Action, global population control, has a 20-year plan that will end by 2015. For this end, the United Nations allocated $1.7 billion in 2000 which will increase to $2.05 billion in 2015. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund also pitched in some money to help. (This explains the “population control clause” attached to foreign debts.) More funding is given by individual governments. Just a few weeks ago, the British Government and the Melinda Gates foundation, in a summit held in London, received pledges of $4.6 billion to promote contraceptions.

The IPPF is supported by governments, European Commission and UN Population Fund. They work closely with the World Health Organization, UN Development Program, UNICEF and the OECD (Organization for Economic Development).

I enumerated these institutions so that when you hear them supporting the RH Bill, you shouldn’t be surprised. For example, when the United Nations says that the Philippines need the RH, that’s simply being hypocritical. They project themselves as a “neutral” institution trying to “advise” the Filipinos. But the UN is one of the institutions lobbying strongly for the passage of the RH Bill!

What do we see from all these? I see big guys trying to bully the small guys for their (big guys) own selfish benefit. The RH Bill is part of that worldwide bullying. Magpapa-uto (na naman) ba tayo? (5-VIII-2012)
