We are living in a world where we have seen everything before. Politicians and People are openly calling themselves Progressives. Some
even go so far as to admit they are Communist or Socialist and claim they are fighting for Social Justice. We have seen this play out in this
country and around the world with the same dangerous results. There is nothing new, just new advocates. Ideas and ideals being brought
forth from Universities has enlightened us and has doomed us. We know that some of the enlightenment can make life easier or better. But
what is the cost of using some of these ideals? This is why ask people to consider ramification and consider sources of who is funding this at
all times. Is there a reason they are proposing whatever it is they may be trying to convince us of may lead to a great deal of harm in the
wrong hand or their hands.
Case in point during 1863, Sir Francis Galton came up with one of these ideas that the Progressive Movement embraced. He had a Theory
that boiled down to that if you have smart people mating you end up with smart people. Thus you could eliminate undesirable elements.
The Progressive Movement embraces the idea whole heartedly. After all it came from a Half Cousin of Charles Darwin. In fact Darwin’s book
influenced Galton to develop the theory. It was all the raves of the Intellectual and academics alike. Could this be where the arrogance of the
Progressives sets in? Perhaps and on the surface it would make sense to do selective breeding‐ ‐ ‐ for farm animals. But employ this to a
human population?
It did not take long for this idea to come to the shores of America and find a home in American Academia. With people like Carnegie,
Rockefeller to fund the idea, it was not long before it reared an unsightly outcome. They would take the theory to and try to develop racial or
segregationist policies against Italians, Chinese, Jews as well as other immigrants. They came up with convoluted Family tree diagrams to
prove their theories that later would simply point to their own biases. All this came from a simple academic theory of purifying the human
race. Hmm where have we seen that before? Actually you may remember from a later period. But it started right here with the Progressive
Movement of the latter part of the 1800’s.
It was set to start America down a very dangerous path. In the 1920’s it became acceptable to sterilize people in America, considered to be
progressing the human to eliminate impurities like disabilities. So from the
1920 through to the 1960 more than 100,000 Americans, with rights we take
for granted were sterilized by this Academic Principle gone awry. It started as
an ideal morphed into public policy and even executions. It didn’t stop there.
They decided to incentivize the theory in the1970’s. They repackaged it as
Family Planning and birth control. In this era they came up with the legalized
abortion and Government handouts for sterilization.
But the Eugenics story does not end there. No it was rationalized and became
acceptable by the American Progressive. It would be perfected by another.
We know that it was even funded elsewhere by American Progressives.
Rockefeller Foundation set up the German Eugenic programs. That’s right; we
taught Hitler how to do it. Hitler even mentions it in his famed book Mien
Kampf.
Hitler started his racist and discriminatory policy by first banning Jew from
public pools. Nobody said a word. In this picture is saying to the People of
Germany you pay 60,000 Reich Marks to keep this man alive. They were using
propaganda to justify ending this poor soul’s life. Still nobody said a word.
They began executing people slowly to clean out and purify the race.
Then Hitler turned his attention to all the various ethnic groups that were not
Aryan. Hitler took the American
Academic Idea and morphed it into a
killing machine to purify the home land.
It is estimated that Hitler Eugenics carried out the murder of 6,000,000 Jew and other so called
undesirables.
Can we learn anything from this? Yes indeed, if we do not study history we are doomed to repeat it
again and again. How?
A look at who is influencing Barack Obama a self proclaimed “Progressive”. Remember he said in the
