Henry Kissinger's 1974 Plan for
Food Control Genocide

“Who Is Responsible for the World Food Shortage?”
by Joseph Brewda
Dec. 8, 1995
On Dec. 10, 1974, the U.S. National
Security Council under Henry Kissinger
completed a classified 200-page study, “National Security Study Memorandum 200:
Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas
Interests.” The study falsely claimed that population growth in the so-called
Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) was a grave threat to U.S. national
security. Adopted as official policy in November 1975 by President Gerald Ford,
NSSM 200 outlined a covert plan to reduce population growth in those countries
through birth control, and also, implicitly, war and famine. Brent Scowcroft, who had by then replaced Kissinger as
national security adviser (the same post Scowcroft was to hold in the Bush
administration), was put in charge of implementing the plan. CIA Director George Bush was ordered to assist Scowcroft, as were the
secretaries of state, treasury, defense, and agriculture.
The bogus arguments that Kissinger
advanced were not original. One of his major sources was the Royal Commission
on Population, which King George VI had created in 1944 “to consider what
measures should be taken in the national interest to influence the future trend
of population.” The commission found that Britain was gravely threatened by
population growth in its colonies, since “a populous country has decided advantages
over a sparsely-populated one for industrial production.” The combined effects
of increasing population and industrialization in its colonies, it warned,
“might be decisive in its effects on the prestige and influence of the West,”
especially effecting “military strength and security.”
NSSM 200 similarly concluded that the United States
was threatened by population growth in the former colonial sector. It paid
special attention to 13 “key countries” in which the United
States had a “special political and strategic interest”: India, Bangladesh,
Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand,
the Philippines, Turkey, Nigeria,
Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico,
Brazil, and Colombia. It
claimed that population growth in those states was especially worrisome, since
it would quickly increase their relative political, economic, and military
strength.
For example, Nigeria: “Already the most
populous country on the continent, with an estimated 55 million people in 1970,
Nigeria's population by the end of this century is projected to number 135
million. This suggests a growing political and strategic role for Nigeria, at least in Africa.”
Or Brazil: “Brazil clearly
dominated the continent demographically.” The study warned of a “growing power
status for Brazil in Latin America and on the world scene over the next 25
years.”
Food as a weapon
There were several measures that Kissinger
advocated to deal with this alleged threat, most prominently, birth control and
related population-reduction programs. He also warned that “population growth
rates are likely to increase appreciably before they begin to decline,” even if
such measures were adopted.
A second measure was curtailing food
supplies to targetted states, in part to force compliance with birth control
policies: “There is also some established precedent for taking account of
family planning performance in appraisal of assistance requirements by AID [U.S.
Agency for International Development] and consultative groups. Since
population growth is a major determinant of increases in food demand,
allocation of scarce PL 480 resources should take account of what steps a
country is taking in population control as well as food production. In these
sensitive relations, however, it is important in style as well as substance to
avoid the appearance of coercion.”
“Mandatory programs may be needed and we
should be considering these possibilities now,” the document continued, adding,
“Would food be considered an instrument of national power? ... Is the U.S. prepared
to accept food rationing to help people who can't/won't control their
population growth?”
Kissinger also predicted a return of
famines that could make exclusive reliance on birth control programs
unnecessary. “Rapid population growth and lagging food production in developing
countries, together with the sharp deterioration in the global food situation
in 1972 and 1973, have raised serious concerns about the ability of the world
to feed itself adequately over the next quarter of century and beyond,” he
reported.
The cause of that coming food deficit was
not natural, however, but was a result of western financial policy: “Capital
investments for irrigation and infrastucture and the organization requirements
for continuous improvements in agricultural yields may be beyond the financial
and administrative capacity of many LDCs. For some of the areas under heaviest
population pressure, there is little or no prospect for foreign exchange
earnings to cover constantly increasingly imports of food.”
“It is questionable,” Kissinger gloated,
“whether aid donor countries will be prepared to provide the sort of massive
food aid called for by the import projections on a long-term continuing basis.”
Consequently, “large-scale famine of a kind not experienced for several
decades—a kind the world thought had been permanently banished,” was
foreseeable—famine, which has indeed come to pass.
