The people closest to the Jews from a genetic point of view may be the Kurds, according to results of a new study at the Hebrew University.
Scientists who participated in the research said the findings seem to indicate both peoples had common ancestors who lived in the northern half of the fertile crescent, where northern Iraq and Turkey are today. Some of them, it is assumed, wandered south in pre-historic times and settled on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean.
Professor Ariella Oppenheim and Dr. Marina Feirman, who carried out the research at the Hebrew University, said they were surprised to find a closer genetic connection between the Jews and the populations of the fertile crescent than between the Jews and their Arab neighbors. Oppenheim pointed out that previous research of DNA of Jews, including her own work, had revealed great genetic similarity between Jews and Arabs, particularly Palestinians from Israel and the territories.
The present study, however, involved more detailed and thorough examinations than previous research. In addition, this was the first comparison of the DNA of Jews and Kurds.
Genetic similarity between peoples is measured by comparing the frequency of genetic mutations among them. This information makes it possible to reconstruct their paths of migration and to discover their unwritten history. The present study, however, reveals only part of the story, since it is based on mutations of the Y chromosome. Since this chromosome, which determines male gender, is passed only from father to son, it does not contain information about the mothers' contributions to the genetic reservoir under study.
The study's findings are published in the current issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics.
The researchers used the DNA of 1,847 Jewish men of Ashkenazi, Sephardi and Kurdish descent; Muslims and Christians of Kurdish, Turkish and Armenian descent; various Arab populations; and Russians, Poles and residents of Belarus.

"The Genetic Bonds Between Kurds and Jews"
by Kevin Alan Brook
Kurds are the Closest Relatives of Jews

In 2001, a team of Israeli, German, and Indian scientists discovered that the majority of Jews around the world are closely related to the Kurdish people -- more closely than they are to the Semitic-speaking Arabs or any other population that was tested. The researchers sampled a total of 526 Y-chromosomes from 6 populations (Kurdish Jews, Kurdish Muslims, Palestinian Arabs, Sephardic Jews, Ashkenazic Jews, and Bedouin from southern Israel) and added extra data on 1321 persons from 12 populations (including Russians, Belarusians, Poles, Berbers, Portuguese, Spaniards, Arabs, Armenians, and Anatolian Turks). Most of the 95 Kurdish Muslim test subjects came from northern Iraq. Ashkenazic Jews have ancestors who lived in central and eastern Europe, while Sephardic Jews have ancestors from southwestern Europe, northern Africa, and the Middle East. The Kurdish Jews and Sephardic Jews were found to be very close to each other. Both of these Jewish populations differed somewhat from Ashkenazic Jews, who mixed with European peoples during their diaspora. The researchers suggested that the approximately 12.7 percent of Ashkenazic Jews who have the Eu 19 chromosomes -- which are found among between 54 and 60 percent of Eastern European Christians -- descend paternally from eastern Europeans (such as Slavs) or Khazars. But the majority of Ashkenazic Jews, who possess Eu 9 and other chromosomes, descend paternally from Judeans who lived in Israel two thousand years ago. In the article in the November 2001 issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics, Ariella Oppenheim of the Hebrew University of Israel wrote that this new study revealed that Jews have a closer genetic relationship to populations in the northern Mediterranean (Kurds, Anatolian Turks, and Armenians) than to populations in the southern Mediterranean (Arabs and Bedouins).

A previous study by Ariella Oppenheim and her colleagues, published in Human Genetics in December 2000, showed that about 70 percent of Jewish paternal ancestries and about 82 percent of Palestinian Arabs share the same chromosomal pool. The geneticists asserted that this might support the claim that Palestinian Arabs descend in part from Judeans who converted to Islam. With their closer relationship to Jews, the Palestinian Arabs are distinctive from other Arab groups, such as Syrians, Lebanese, Saudis, and Iraqis, who have less of a connection to Jews.

A study by Michael Hammer et al., published in PNAS in June 2000, had identified a genetic connection between Arabs (especially Syrians and Palestinians) and Jews, but had not tested Kurds, so it was less complete.

Many Kurds have the "Jewish" Cohen Modal Haplotype

In the 1990s, a team of scientists (including the geneticist Michael Hammer, the nephrologist Karl Skorecki, and their colleagues in England) discovered the existence of a haplotype which they termed the "Cohen modal haplotype" (abbreviated as CMH). Cohen is the Hebrew word for "priest", and designates descendants of Judean priests from two thousand years ago. Initial research indicated that while only about 3 percent of general Jews have this haplotype, 45 percent of Ashkenazic Cohens have it, while 56 percent of Sephardic Cohens have it. David Goldstein, an evolutionary geneticist at Oxford University, said: "It looks like this chromosomal type was a constituent of the ancestral Hebrew population." Some Jewish rabbis used the Cohen study to argue that all Cohens with the CMH had descended from Aaron, a High Priest who lived about 3500 years ago, as the Torah claimed. Shortly after, it was determined that 53 percent of the Buba clan of the Lemba people of southern Africa have the CMH, compared to 9 percent of non-Buba Lembas. The Lembas claim descent from ancient Israelites, and they follow certain Jewish practices such as circumcision and refraining from eating pork, and for many geneticists and historians the genetic evidence seemed to verify their claim.

However, it soon became apparent that the CMH is not specific to Jews or descendants of Jews. In a 1998 article in Science News, Dr. Skorecki indicated (in an interview) that some non-Jews also possess the Cohen markers, and that the markers are therefore not "unique or special". The CMH is very common among Iraqi Kurds, according to a 1999 study by C. Brinkmann et al. And in her 2001 article, Oppenheim wrote: "The dominant haplotype of the Muslim Kurds (haplotype 114) was only one microsatellite-mutation step apart from the CMH..." (Oppenheim 2001, page 1100). Furthermore, the CMH is also found among some Armenians, according to Dr. Levon Yepiskoposyan (Head of the Institute of Man in Yerevan, Armenia), who has studied genetics for many years. Dr. Avshalom Zoossmann-Diskin wrote: "The suggestion that the 'Cohen modal haplotype' is a signature haplotype for the ancient Hebrew population is also not supported by data from other populations." (Zoossmann-Diskin 2000, page 156).

In short, the CMH is a genetic marker from the northern Middle East which is not unique to Jews. However, its existence among many Kurds and Armenians, as well as some Italians and Hungarians, would seem to support the overall contention that Kurds and Armenians are the close relatives of modern Jews and that the majority of today's Jews have paternal ancestry from the northeastern Mediterranean region.

The Jewish Kingdom of Adiabene in Ancient Kurdistan

In ancient times, the royal house of Adiabene and some of the common people of Adiabene converted to Judaism. The capital city of Adiabene was Arbela (known today by Arabs as Irbil and by Kurds as Hawler). King Izates became closely attached to his new faith, and sent his sons to study Hebrew and Jewish customs in Jerusalem. His successor to the throne was his brother Monobazos II, who also adopted Judaism. In her 2001 study, Oppenheim references the kingdom of Adiabene, but suggests that while Adiabene's conversion to Judaism "resulted in the assimilation of non-Jews into the community... This recorded conversion does not appear to have had a considerable effect on the Y chromosome pool of the Kurdish Jews." (Oppenheim 2001, page 1103). Some of the Jewish Adiabenians may have eventually converted to Christianity.

Conclusions

Research has just begun into the ancient ties between Kurds and Jews. It would be interesting to see if the various Jewish groups have as strong a family tie to Kurds in the maternal lineages as they do in the paternal lineages. Preliminary studies indicate that Jewish populations in eastern Europe and Yemen have maternal origins that contain much more non-Israelite ancestry than their paternal origins. Despite this admixture with other groups, the Jewish Judean people ultimately began their existence in an area within or nearby Kurdistan, prior to migrating southwest to Israel. This exciting research showing that Kurds and Jews may have shared common fathers several millennia ago should, hopefully, encourage both Kurds and Jews to explore each others' cultures and to maintain the friendship that Kurds and Jews enjoyed in northern Iraq in recent times (as chronicled in Michael Rubin's recent article "The Other Iraq"). As Rubin indicates, the Kurdish leader Mullah Mustafa Barzani once visited Israel and met with Israeli government officials. Rubin refers to the Iraqi Kurds' "special affinity for Israel" and writes that "In the safe haven of Iraqi Kurdistan, the Jews and Israel are remembered fondly, if increasingly vaguely." Let us hope that this relationship can be renewed and strengthened.

"The Jewish Roots of Kurdistan
The history of Judaism in Kurdistan is ancient. The Talmud holds that Jewish deportees were settled in Kurdistan 2800 years ago by the Assyrian king Shalmaneser. As indicated in the Talmud, the Jews were given permission by the rabbinic authorities to allow conversion from the local population. They were exceptionally successful in their endeavor. The illustrious Kurdish royal house of Adiabene, with Arbil as its capital, was converted to Judaism in the course of the 1st century BCE, along with, it appears, a large number of Kurdish citizens in the kingdom (see Irbil/Arbil in Encyclopaedia Judaica).

The name of the Kurdish king Monobazes (related etymologically to the name of the ancient Mannaeans), his queen Helena, and his son and successor Izates (derived from yazata, "angel"), are preserved as the first proselytes of this royal house (Ginzberg 1968, VI.412). [But this is chronologically untenable as Monobazes' effective rule began only in CE 18. In fact during the Roman conquest of Judea and Samaria (68-67 BCE), Kurdish Adiabene was the only country outside Israel that sent provisions and troops to the rescue of the besieged Galilee (Grayzel 1968, 163) - an inexplicable act if Adiabene was not already Jewish].

Many modern Jewish historians like Kahle (1959), who believes Adiabene was Jewish by the middle of the 1st century BCE, and Neusner (1986), who goes for the middle of the 1st century CE, have tried unsuccessfully to reconcile this chronological discrepancy.

All agree that by the beginning of the 2nd century CE, at any rate, Judaism was firmly established in central Kurdistan.

Like many other Jewish communities, Christianity found Adiabene a fertile ground for conversion in the course of 4th and 5th centuries. Despite this, Jews remained a populous group in Kurdistan until the middle of the present century and the creation of the state of Israel. At home and in the synagogues, Kurdish Jews speak a form of ancient Aramaic called Suriyani (i.e., "Assyrian"), and in commerce and the larger society they speak Kurdish. Many aspects of Kurdish and Jewish life and culture have become so intertwined that some of the most popular folk stories accounting for Kurdish ethnic origins connect them with the Jews.

The tombs of Biblical prophets like Nahum in Alikush, Jonah in Nabi Yunis (ancient Nineveh), Daniel in Kirkuk, Habakkuk in Tuisirkan, and Queen Esther and Mordechai in Hamadân, and several caves reportedly visited by Elijah are among the most important Jewish shrines in Kurdistan and are venerated by all Jews today. "


"Judy Siegel. "Genetic evidence links Jews to their ancient tribe." Jerusalem Post (November 20, 2001). Excerpts:

"Despite being separated for over 1,000 years, Sephardi Jews of North African origin are genetically indistinguishable from their brethren from Iraq, according to The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. They also proved that Sephardi Jews are very close genetically to the Jews of Kurdistan, and only slight differences exist between these two groups and Ashkenazi Jews from Europe. These conclusions are reached in an article published recently in the American Journal of Human Genetics and written by Prof. Ariella Oppenheim of the Hebrew University (HU) and Hadassah-University Hospital in Ein Kerem. Others involved are German doctoral student Almut Nebel, Dr. Marina Faerman of HU, Dr. Dvora Filon of Hadassah-University Hospital, and other colleagues from Germany and India. The researchers conducted blood tests of Ashkenazi, Sephardi and Kurdish Jews and examined their Y chromosomes, which are carried only by males. They then compared them with those of various Arab groups - Palestinians, Beduins, Jordanians, Syrians and Lebanese - as well as to non-Arab populations from Transcaucasia - Turks, Armenians and Moslem Kurds. The study is based on 526 Y chromosomes typed by the Israeli team and additional data on 1,321 individuals from 12 populations... Surprisingly, the study shows a closer genetic affinity by Jews to the non-Jewish, non-Arab populations in the northern part of the Middle East than to Arabs."
"Study: North African, Iraqi Jewry nearly genetic twins." Jerusalem Post (November 19, 2001). Excerpts:

"Sephardic North African Jews are genetic twins of their Iraq brethren, says a study by researchers [Nebel, Faerman, et al.] at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.... Although the genetic affinity of Jews to the ancient, Middle Eastern non-Arab populations is greater than to Arabs (as shown in the present study), a substantial portion of Y chromosomes of Jews (70%) and Palestinian Muslim Arabs (50%) belong to the same chromosome pool. An additional 30% of the Muslim Arab chromosomes belong to a very closely related lineage... [because] part - or perhaps the majority - of Muslim Arabs in the Land of Israel descended from local inhabitants, mainly Christians and Jews, who had converted after the Islamic conquest of the 7th century A.D."

Other studies have suggested Jews were most closely related to Palestinians, Syrians, and Druze but according to this Kurds were not tested in those studies.

Interesting that the Kurds are the other decendants of an ancient Middle Eastern kingdom that is fighting to have their own country again.

Genesis of Jews - The True Juice

Posted in Articles by Rasta Man on January 28, 2006.

Salman Rushdie presumably citing Indian history books claims in a book “Last sigh of Moor” published in 1995, that three waves of Jewish refugees has landed in India in the past.

The first Jewish refugees, that had settled in India, arrived after Nabuchadonezer, king of Babylon conquered their land in the 6th century BC and expelled some andenslaved the others. They were…dark skinned people, probably of the AFROCOIDAL RACE. (Recall that Moses married a wife from the Medianite tribe, from the country of volcanos, which corresponds to Ethiopia of today.)

Salman Rushdie further claims that the second wave of Jewish emigration to India, came after the destruction of Israel by Romans in 1-2nd century.

The third wave of Jewish emigration to India, which occured after 1482, when Queen Isabelle threw Jews out of Spain, arrived and settled at Cochin peninsula in Southern India.

According to the late 19 century Larousse Encyclopedia, Jews from the tropical Conchin were the most dark skinned Jews known at that time.

The dark skinned Jews of Ethiopia are known to be the oldest Jewish community, having some of the oldest living Jewish traditions. Some legends go on to assert that this community an extract of the tribe of Dan was in existence even before Abraham. (See Genesis Chp 14 verse 14).

Besides a religious link, the “Jews” of today have hardly any genetic links to the Israelites of the Bible. Historian scholars of Jewish have established that at least 90% of all modern Jews come from a Turkish-Mongol mix of people and are largely sourced from the Khazar Kingdom.

The Jewish scholar Arthur Koestler provided overwhelming evidence, for the above in his famous 1976 work, “THE THIRTEENTH TRIBE - THE KHAZAR EMPIRE AND ITS HERITAGE” showing, “that in the 8th century, Khazaria which was greatly made-up of the Turkish-Mongol mixed people known as Khazars, converted to their national religion of Judaism which was based on the Babylonian Talmud.

The Khazars later migrated to eastern Europe, especially to Hungary and Poland, taking their Babylonian religion with them. “The Khazar origin of the numerically and socially dominant element in the Jewish population of Hungary during the Middle Ages is thus relatively well documented.” Page 144. “As already mentioned, the trade in fox and sable furs, which had been flourishing in Khazaria, became another virtual Jewish monopoly in Poland. (Page 157 )

Benjamin Freedman, another Jewish researcher, wrote his famous treatise FACTS ARE FACTS in 1954. Freedman quotes from many historical sources and shows that the vast majority of Jews derive from the Turkish-Mongol mixed people of the Khazar Kingdom of the 2nd to 10th centuries, NOT from Biblical Israelite stock.

Relatively recent genetic studies corroborate the historical facts that the Jews are of partly Turkish origin. An article published in “Ha’Aretz” a leading Jewish newspaper on Nov. 22, 2001 was entitled, “Study finds close genetic connection between Jews, Kurds.”

The article commenced by unequivocally stating that, “The people closest to the Jews from a genetic point of view may be the Kurds, according to results of a new study at, the Hebrew University.

Scientists who participated in the research said findings seem to indicate both peoples had common ancestors who lived in the northern half of the Fertile Crescent, where Northern Iraq and Turkey are today. Some of them, it assumed, wandered south and settled on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean.” (Abraham) The article goes on to state, “The study’s findings are published in the current issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics.

The researcher’s used the DNA of 1,847 Jewish men of Ashkenazi, Sephardi and Kurdish descent, Muslims and Christians of Kurdish, Turkish and Armenian descent, various Arab populations, & Russians, Poles and residents of belarus.”

Finally, it has been known for many years that a large proportion of Jews have oriental admixture in their ancestry. So Mongol infusion is also a probable part of their mixed heritage.

US missile plan aims to encircle Russia’
Friday, February 08, 2008

‘WARSAW: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Thursday blasted US plans for an anti-missile shield.

He labelled US plans to build a global missile defence shield an example of “imperial thinking,” and suggested in comments published Thursday that Washington was using the system to try to encircle Russia.

Sergey Lavrov said in an interview published in leading Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza that elements of the missile defence system “exist or will be built in Alaska, California, north-east Asia.”

“If we look at a map, it’s clear that all of it is concentrating around our borders,” he was quoted as saying. “Most likely in the near future we are going to hear about hundreds, and maybe even thousands, of interceptors in various regions of the planet, including Europe.”

Washington wants to place 10 missile defence interceptors in Poland and a radar system in the neighbouring Czech Republic as part of a global system that it says is necessary to protect against future attacks from Iran.

The US and Poland have stressed that the system poses no threat to Russia and its vast nuclear arsenal, and is instead designed to protect the US and Europe from Iran.

Lavrov brushed aside those assurances, saying “such a threat does not exist.” He said only one country in Eastern Europe has strategic ballistic missiles Russia.

“That’s why you would have to be very naive to assume that the American missile defence base in Europe is aimed against anything but Russia,” he was quoted as saying.

“It’s difficult to interpret it as anything other than a manifestation of imperial thinking.” Russia is incensed by the prospect of US installations in a region that it controlled during the Cold War, and has threatened to attack the bases causing deep anxiety in Poland. Lavrov called US plans to build a missile defence base in Poland “only a trial balloon,” adding that “Russia does not fear 10 interceptors.”

“Much more dangerous for us is the trend of American infrastructure getting closer to our borders,” he said, Gazeta Wyborcza reported. “We don’t see any justification for this step.”

“We are talking openly with the Americans about our fears. If the plan goes through, we are going to be forced to respond adequately, developing our strategic forces near our borders.”

Last week, Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski said during a visit to Washington that Poland had agreed in principle to hosting the base after Warsaw received assurances that the United States would help Poland strengthen its short- to medium-range air defences.

Endgame: The Rabbit Hole Doesn't End Here
Alex Jones' excellent new documentary, as much as it covers, doesn't catch it all
Old-thinker news | Oct. 26, 2007

By Daniel Taylor

Upon hearing the announcement from Alex Jones that he was embarking on a new filmmaking adventure - and later finding out what the film would cover - I decided to conduct my own research into the various subjects that Endgame would discuss. Rather than get the information for the first time from the film, I wanted to see what I could dig up on my own prior to viewing it. The information I found - which is openly available to anyone willing to look - is incredibly sobering, but not all hope is lost. If we live our lives in fear of what the future may bring, we allow ourselves to be defeated. We still have the power to raise awareness among our fellow man, and despite what the elite may believe, they do not have a monopoly on the future.

You may have heard Alex say that Endgame only covers a small percentage of the information out there. After watching his excellent film, I can tell you from my own investigation that this is absolutely true. I point this out not because I am criticizing the film, but to drive home the true gravity of our situation.

The subject of Eugenics and population control was the main focus of my research. In August I wrote an article on eugenics covering a short history of the pseudo science, and detailed possible future applications of it. The following is a sampling of some of the other information that I've been able to find detailing a small part of the elite agenda and possible future scenarios.

China as the world model

"Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose. The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history." -- David Rockefeller, The New York Times, August 10, 1973

China, as noted in Endgame, has long been supported by the global elite in its population control policies and tyrannical measures of control.

In 2000, the Rockefeller foundation gave $2 million to upgrade a drug factory in China which produces the abortion drug RU-486. As the Washington Post reports, the drug has been widely used in China's population control efforts,

"RU-486 has been a key ingredient in China's population control strategy for years. Of the estimated 10 million abortions performed annually in China, about half are carried out with RU-486, said Gao Ersheng, director of the Shanghai Institute of Planned Parenthood Research."

In 1995 China adopted the law on Maternal and Infant Health Care. The law, shaped around Francis Galton's model of eugenics, is dedicated to "improving the quality of the newborn population." The law details methods of "educating" the public on the importance of genetics and good marriage. If a couple is deemed unworthy of childbearing they are either not allowed to marry or are sterilized. Using modern genetic screening, fetuses deemed to be "medically considered inappropriate for reproduction" are terminated.

Population control via one child policies are also enforced in China. The Chinese government has heralded the one child policy as contributing to the reduction of their "carbon footprint".

Eric G. Swedin, assistant professor at Weber State University, speculates in the May-June 2006 edition of The Futurist that China is likely to be the first to develop "designer babies", triggering a "eugenics race" between the United States and China. Swedin says,

"Around the world, parents seeking the best opportunities for their children may want to buy biotechnology that gives their children an edge, and we will see the birth of specialized human beings. Moral qualms will be brushed aside, and keeping up with the Chinese will be seen as a patriotic duty."

Swedin goes on to speculate, like many others in the field of genetics and biotechnology, that a new elite upper class that is able to afford the new technology could arise.

"Before the Enlightenment of the eighteenth century, which promoted the essential equality of every human, people believed that noble blood entitled the aristocracy to rule over the peasants... Genetic enhancement could lead to a new feudal order. If a new aristocracy arises, those people whose parents can afford to provide genetic enhancements will not just be stronger, brighter, and less prone to disease, but will actually have "noble" blood in the form of their new and improved genes."

A technocratic, genetically enhanced elite

The idea of a new class of elite ruling over a lesser, genetically inferior class is not new. H.G. Wells wrote about it in his book The Time Machine, while thousands of years before him Plato's Republic promoted the idea of elite "Guardians" specifically bred for ruling over the masses. Some warn of its grave dangers, while others promote it as an inevitable, positive development.

Rather than rely on non-technological means of enhancement, advanced technology will be used by the new aristocracy. John Campbell of the University of California writes in his paper The Moral Imperative of Our Future Evolution,

"The costs [of genetic enhancement] will be enormous, far beyond what most people could afford. This has kept our democratic society from appreciating that these possibilities will be used and will be important. However, their feasibility cannot be judged from what the average person will be willing to pay to procreate. What matters are the resources that the most successful generative lines will be able to apply to their goals. A million dollars per conception seems a great underestimate to me for the beings who hold evolution's frontier."

"We should not imagine that people will just dabble in their evolution. Another generation will fan autoevolution into the all-consuming endeavor of the intellectuals, scientists and economists. The resources of the world probably will suddenly be shifted to this enterprise. Remaining "humans" will realize that they have been displaced from their former privileged status as the masters of destiny."

John Glad, former Professor of Russian studies, comments on Campbell in his book Future Human Evolution: Eugenics in the Twenty-First Century,

"Campbell’s projection of rapid, small-group-directed evolution is at once heartening and depressing. Greater, even openended,
intelligence is awesome to contemplate. On the other hand, how sad it is for those “living fossils” who constitute the mass of humanity – humanity, at least, as we know it today."

"The two societies projected by H.G. Wells in The Time Machine, one producing material goods and the other, childlike, consuming them, is probably going to arrive sooner than we think, and the childlike creatures will be us."

Lee Silver, Professor at Princeton University and former senior investigator for Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, writing in Remaking Eden: Cloning and Beyond in a Brave New World, sees a future in which,

"The GenRich--who account for 10 percent of the American population--all carry synthetic genes. Genes that were created in the laboratory....The GenRich are a modern-day hereditary class of genetic aristocrats....All aspects of the economy, the media, the entertainment industry, and the knowledge industry are controlled by members of the GenRich class."

Another angle on advanced technology taken by the elite is the deliberate dumbing down and domestication of the majority of humanity. A picture emerges of a technologically advanced elite sitting atop an oppressed mass of humanity that fails to benefit from advanced technological and genetic developments.

William Sims Bainbridge, a top figurehead in the Transhumanist movement writes,

"Techniques such as genetic engineering, psychoactive drugs and electronic control of the brain make possible a transformation of the species into docile, fully-obedient, "safe" organisms."

The future as seen by the CIA and the U.K. Ministry of Defense

Like the new genetic upper class, the CIA and U.K. Ministry of Defense envision a future in which global integration brings inter-communal conflict as borders are erased, and a large percentage of the population lives in poverty while only a tiny elite benefits from globalization. At the moment, the European Union exists and is expanding, the African Union is nearing completion, and the North American Union project is currently underway. Ultimately, as Zbigniew Brzezinski has stated, these "post-national" forms of organization will be foundations for a world governmental structure. The future scenarios identified by Global Trends 2015 and other similar reports can undoubtedly be identified as possible responses to these developments.

The CIA's 2001 report called Global Trends 2015 outlines trends in technology, globalization, and governance to name a few. The report, as noted by the May-June 2001 edition of The Futurist, includes contributions from the RAND corporation and the Carnegie Endowment (who's leaders attend the secretive Bilderberg conferences regularly). Global Trends 2015 states,

"The continuing spread of information technology and biotechnology will stimulate more innovation in advanced countries. New medical breakthroughs will improve the health and longevity of the wealthy."

"Established governments are likely to lose some control over their borders... Corporations and nonprofit organizations will exert more influence on state affairs. Winners and losers in globalization will emerge..."

An alternative to positive globalization is given,

"Pernicious Globalization: Global elites thrive, but the majority of the world's population fails to benefit from globalization. Internal conflicts increase, fueled by frustrated expectations, inequities, and communal tensions."

The scenario presented by the U.K Ministry of Defense mirrors Global Trends 2015, with a few twists. The London Guardian reported on the MoD report in April of this year. "The development of neutron weapons which destroy living organs but not buildings 'might make a weapon of choice for extreme ethnic cleansing in an increasingly populated world'", the report says.

"'The middle classes could become a revolutionary class, taking the role envisaged for the proletariat by Marx,' says the report. The thesis is based on a growing gap between the middle classes and the super-rich on one hand and an urban under-class threatening social order"
"By 2010 more than 50% of the world's population will be living in urban rather than rural environments, leading to social deprivation and "new instability risks", and the growth of shanty towns. By 2035, that figure will rise to 60%. Migration will increase. Globalisation may lead to levels of international integration that effectively bring inter-state warfare to an end. But it may lead to "inter-communal conflict" - communities with shared interests transcending national boundaries and resorting to the use of violence."

Education is the key. Awareness of the global elite is spreading like wildfire. Take an active role in history and do your part in educating others. You don't have to have the biggest website, be well spoken, or be the best leader. No matter how insignificant your contribution may seem, it makes all the difference in the world.

Endgame: The Rabbit Hole Doesn't End Here - Part 2
Population reduction under the guise of humanitarian effort
Old-thinker news | Nov. 1, 2007

By Daniel Taylor

"It seems like every new corner we turn, the Rockefellers are already there. And in some cases, they have been there for a long, long time." -- William H. Gates Sr.

If you have watched Alex Jones' Endgame, you know that population reduction has been a leading goal of Rockefeller, Kissinger, and other global elite for many years. You may be wondering; How will the elite fulfill their plans for global population reduction? There are many theories as to how this will be done, and speculation abounds. Race specific bio-weapons, as written in the Project for a New American Century, "...may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool." A report released early this year by the U.K. Ministry of Defense outlining possible future scenarios says that, "The development of neutron weapons which destroy living organs but not buildings 'might make a weapon of choice for extreme ethnic cleansing in an increasingly populated world." Documentation can be shown demonstrating that at this very moment massive population reduction programs are being carried out.

Henry Kissinger's National Security Study Memorandum 200, as noted in Endgame, is a foundational document regarding population reduction plans for the third world.

The 1974 NSSM 200 document cites "Injectable contraceptives for women" as a possible method of population reduction and control. Depopulation, as stated in the document, should be pursued because it would be in the "...economic interests of the United States."

"Wherever a lessening of population pressures... can increase the prospects for such stability, population policy becomes relevant to resource supplies and to the economic interests of the United States."

The Rockefeller Foundation and the Population Council, both Rockefeller organizations, have been instrumental in the funding and development of sterilization vaccines. The Rockefeller family has been involved with population control and eugenics since the early 1900's. The Population Council, founded by John D. Rockefeller in 1952, was first headed by Frederick Osborn, who served as the Secretary of the American Eugenics Society.

"Injectable contraceptives for women" have been developed in the years after the infamous NSSM 200.

In 1989 research was conducted by the National Institute of Immunology in New Delhi India on the use of 'carriers' such as Tetanus Toxoid and Diphtheria to bypass the immune system and deliver the female hormone called human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). The effect of the hCG hormone was the sterilization of women by causing the body to attack itself. By using four women as test subjects, the research found that multiple doses - around 5 - of the Tetanus toxoid hCG carrier vaccine was required in order for it to effectively raise the level of hCG in their bodies. The research also found that if an alternate carrier such as Diphtheria was used, less doses would be needed to maintain the desired level of hCG.

The Rockefeller Foundation and the Population Council are listed as giving grants for the research.

The aforementioned research paper was carried in the Oxford University Press in 1990, and was titled "Bypass by an alternate 'carrier' of acquired unresponsiveness to hCG upon repeated immunization with tetanus-conjugated vaccine."

Are these plans being implemented right now?

NSSM 200 outlines recommendations as to how to carry out population reduction and control policies. The World Bank, World Health Organization, UNICEF, and donor countries are listed as possible implementation arms.

GAVI (the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization), which was founded in 2000, has the goal of vaccinating most of the third world. The member organizations of GAVI include many of the same partners listed in NSSM 200, including the Rockefeller Foundation. Listed on the GAVI website,

GAVI partners include: national governments of donor and developing countries, the Bill and Melinda Gates Children’s Vaccine Program, the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Associations (IFPMA), the Rockefeller Foundation, UNICEF, the World Bank Group and the World Health Organization (WHO).

In December of 2000, David Rockefeller and William H. Gates Sr., among others, visited the Rockefeller University campus to take part in a meeting on "Philanthropy in a Global Century". While there, Gates spoke about his inspiration from Rockefeller in founding GAVI,

"Gates said that 'Taking our lead and our inspiration from work already done by The Rockefeller Foundation, our foundation actually started GAVI by pledging $750 million to something called the Global Fund for Children's Vaccines, an instrument of GAVI.'"

He also praised the Rockefeller family's century of philanthropy, saying, 'It seems like every new corner we turn, the Rockefellers are already there. And in some cases, they have been there for a long, long time.'"

The targets

The targets of NSSM 200 for population reduction and control included "...countries where there is special U.S. political and strategic interest." Those named include: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Brazil, the Philippines, Thailand, Egypt, Turkey, Ethiopia and Colombia.

In 1995 the BBC aired a documentary titled "The Human Laboratory", which covered the use of birth control drugs and vaccines in the third world. The discovery of "contaminated" Tetanus toxoid vaccines and the resulting negative effects on the Philippine population were covered. The documentary was never shown in the United States. A transcript of the program can be seen here.

Contained in the program are the accounts of doctors from the Philippines who found that their Tetanus vaccines were "contaminated" with hCG, resulting in sterility and miscarriages. As the research shown above indicates, these are not contaminants, but rather scientifically crafted.

The following are excerpts from the BBC program:

MARY PILAR VERZOSA: The women would say why is it that the tetanus shots that we've been getting have had effects on us? Our fertility cycles are all fouled up, some of the women among us have had bleedings and miscarriages, some have lost their babies at a very early stage. The symptoms could come soon after their tetanus vaccination - some the following day, others within a week's time. For those who were pregnant on their first three or four months the miscarriage was really frightening.

...

MARY PILAR VERZOSA: I began to suspect that here in the Philippines that's exactly what's happening. They have laced the tetanus toxoid vials with the Beta HCG. The only way I could make sure that they hadn't done that was to examine the vials, and how to get a hold of those vials was going to be a problem. Who was I to collect them from the health centres?

...

MARY PILAR VERZOSA: Oh boy that was really something when this came out of my fax machine. Report on HCG concentration in vaccine vials. Three out of those four vials registered positive for HCG, so my suspicions are affirmed that here in our country they are not only giving plain tetanus toxoid vaccination to our women, they are also giving anti-fertility.

NARRATOR: Sister Mary was not alone. Many women and doctors reported similar findings. Dr. Vilma Gonzaga became suspicious when she had two miscarriages, both times after receiving the tetanus jab. She is now suing the government since tests showed she had very high levels of antibodies to Beta HCG.

Dr Fays Schrater comments on his suspicions that there is a deliberate campaign to immunise the Philippines with hCG.

DR FAYS SCHRATER: If there is a conspiracy to immunise the women of the Philippines with chorionic gonadotropin rather than tetanus, then it requires the knowledge of some member of a government, or two. It requires the participation of a manufacturer to link the chorionic gonadotropin physically to the tetanus toxoid - you can't just throw it in the vial and expect it to do its work. And it requires that it be mislabelled and that it be shipped then to a centre who knows what's in it and who is going to distribute it in a guise of tetanus vaccine.

Rural populations of the third world have caught on to possible negative effects of vaccination such as sterilization, while their fears are dismissed as "rumors" and "myths" by the mainstream press. Often, those reassuring that the vaccines are safe are the very organizations listed in NSSM 200 as partners in population reduction and control efforts. A 2006 press release from UNICEF (United Nations Children Fund), which is involved with vaccinating many third world countries, quotes the Assistant Project Officer for Health in Ethiopia’s Southern Nations, Tersit Assefa,

"In other places, women of this age often stay away,” said Ms. Tersit. “All sorts of misguided rumours go round that the injections will sterilize them or harm them in some way. But here, the village elders are on board. They are here, encouraging the women to come along.”

Nigerians have also become suspicious of vaccines. CBS news reported in 2004 that the Nigerian state of Kano was resisting Polio vaccines on grounds that the injections would render the female population infertile.

"In September, Shekarau suspended participation in a global immunization program on the grounds that local scientists had discovered traces of a hormone in foreign-made vaccines that they feared could make girls infertile.

Some local Islamic leaders accused the Nigerian federal government of being part of a U.S. plot to kill off Muslims with the vaccines.

The WHO insisted the vaccines were safe, and urged that vaccinations resume to stave off a resurgence of the paralyzing disease."

Thailand, another target of NSSM 200, is ripe with stories of miscarriages and sterilization. According to the local population of the Akha, pregnant women are forced to receive the vaccine in order to get ID cards for their children. The vaccine often results with violent miscarriages. In the video below, Matthew McDaniel, a human rights activist who has been working with the Akha people of Thailand, speaks with two Akha women about the forced Tetanus vaccine and the resulting miscarriages.

The third world populations, which are largely out of sight and out of the minds of a large portion of the west, are taking the brunt of the global elite's population reduction plans.
