Eugenics on the Sly

When people run into the word “eugenics,” probably the first thing they think of is Hitler and his hankering to eliminate undesirable people from his Third Reich Aryan utopia. This included getting rid of not only undesirable ethnicities, such as Jews and Gypsies, but also getting rid of sick people, people with birth defects, and people with mental disorders. Kind of the definition of eugenics, eh? Actually, eugenics means “good birth” and was coined by a bloke named Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin (figures) in the 19^th Century.

This idea of “good birth” caught on in the 20^th Century and it was all the rage until Hitler sort of put the kibosh on the whole thing with his rather obvious evil inclinations. Eugenics sort of went underground by mid 20^th Century, but before that, there were all sorts of programs that had as their prime directive to create better human beings. What made a human being better? Well, the obvious things (obvious to us now, at least) like physical health, intelligence, good personality, etc. The not-so-obvious things (obvious then, but not now) were colour, religious focus, moral character, and social status. Some of these things you could control through genetics. Some of them fell under the umbrella of “nurture,” i.e., training and indoctrination.

Of course, even after birth, there were things you could do to at least prevent “bad” people from coming into the world at a later date. You could sterilize the progenitors of those bad people which would keep them from producing any other undesirables. There were several sterilization programs in the United States before World War II.

The Planned Parenthood organization is an example of this shift from overt efforts to control the product of birth to a rather clandestine version of the same. It was founded in 1916 by Margaret Sanger. She was a “birth control” advocate even before The Pill came along. Her primary focus was to allow women social freedom, as well as to have control over what exactly was coming into the world. If you had control over pregnancy after a sexual encounter, you could then make clearer decisions regarding what exactly you were intending to bring forth into society. I’m not quite sure how this worked unless it was somehow enforced by law, but that was the idea.

Particularly after the United States started to mature a bit after WWII regarding racism and human rights, Sanger and her eugenic focus went a bit underground. Planned Parenthood even today has to make an effort to shake off this tainting of its previous reputation. I will not comment specifically on Planned Parenthood here, but I think it is rather obvious that eugenics, and the interest relegated to it by “The Powers that Be” is still alive and well.

Where?

Well, really everywhere if you think about it. Now being human may be the only real criterion for getting on the list for the firing squad, but “useless eater” may be a more universal condition at this time to get you axed—particularly with the recent effort to vaccinate nearly everyone, useless or not, with the Covid vaccine. It does seem that the Covid vaccine did not make much distinction in this regard, but maybe the “just human” attribute may have been enough to set you up for vaccine slaughter. The first round isn’t picky.

Getting back to the more traditional hallmarks of eugenic elimination, such as getting rid of the physically and mentally undesirable. Check out Canada’s MAiD program. MAiD is a clever acronym for “Medical Assistance in Dying.” I am not quite sure why “maid” as the acronym is clever, but they seemed to have gone through a lot of trouble to make it fit. I would think “Medically Assisted Death” is a better fit, but that would spell MAD, and maybe that was too close to being a literal response to the program. Whatever.

MAiD. Hmmm. I have written about this before. But I have revisited it here focusing more on the hidden eugenics qualities as opposed to just suicide by State decree. As I have said, eugenics has gone underground for the most part. Back at the turn of the century any powerful white guy saying to a crowd of fellow white, well to do, folks, “I think it is a good idea we try our best to eliminate inferior races, inferior health, and inferior moral character and mental, emotional, instability and mediocrity!” And further, “We can do this by sterilizing those people who are more or less guaranteed to give birth to such undesirable humans, and by making sure those who have already been born, live in and are educated in the proper environment.”

This powerful orator didn’t have to say much more regarding details—and what exactly was a “proper environment”? And for the most part, most people listening, probably didn’t have a problem seeing certain races as inferior, and certainly didn’t have a problem with any effort to remove or minimize crazy people, evil people, or violent and dangerous people. Back then most people thought everything about our makeup was genetic (remember the movie The Bad Seed?—although that came out much later) and people in general were not very bright regarding ethical considerations.

Nowadays you have to be a bit more underhanded to get away with such a eugenics program. You have to shroud it in education, birth control, abortion, and some other rather clever disguises such as DEI programs (WTF, you say? Think about it). Maybe eugenics is too strong of a word, but that is only because the definition has been elaborated since its original creation, “good birth” is more fitting. Who doesn’t want “good birth”? It is how you define “good” that makes this all the work of the devil.

Anyway, let me get back to Canada’s MAiD program—here is an example of eugenics on the sly. Most people when they hear about assisted suicide imagine some poor soul writhing in constant pain who has been given a terminal diagnosis and it is only a matter of time before they succumb to the cold hearted wiles of nature and shed their mortal coil. Good for those who think this, because that is how MAiD was originally sold to us, and probably was the way such a program was originally intended (although I doubt it).

In March 2021, Bill C-7 lifted the criterion that natural death must be “reasonably foreseeable.” To add insult to injury, in early 2023, the federal government’s Special Joint Committee on MAiD reported on the proposal to expand euthanasia on March 17, 2024, to Canadians whose sole condition is a mental disorder. There is some talk that this may get rescinded or postponed again, but I am not holding my breath.

There was a bit of hoopla at one point too about expanding MAiD to include BABIES!! (The idea lost favour and failed.) Very similar to the Nazi program of eliminating “undesirables” such as infants born with birth defects and the like. How about autistic kids? Kids with Down Syndrome? Kids with only one arm? On and on and on. This is where this sort of thing really starts to stink. Again, most people think MAiD is innocent enough, designed to put the dignity back into dying and allow those in misery to determine their time of death and relieve them of the horrors of pain. We do have the right to choose the time, manner and place of our death, don’t we? Maybe so, but state sponsored? If so, we are asking for trouble.

Slowly but surely, rules are changed, laws are modified, and concepts are expanded. And soon enough you’ve got a good old-fashioned, Hitleresque, eugenics program operating at full throttle. And I certainly should not give our ol’ friend scapegoat Hitler all the credit for being Satan-on-Earth—people were doing this crap long before he came along—and long after. It is all designed so anyone in any official capacity can manipulate any case to fit the loose criteria that allow for death by injection. How convenient is that? Read this excellent article here for some frightening examples of how all this can work.

Hey, why not call a spade a spade, eh? What’s happening here in the sunny climes of Canada (that’s a joke) is happening all over. We have been duped, as we have been repeatedly. The sly ol’ brer fox has done it again. Fooled, hook line and sinker.
