National Security Study Memorandum (NSSM) 200, otherwise known as the Kissinger report of 1974 made the following mask-off observations:

  1. Population growth in developing countries provides those nations with more geopolitical power and fuels possible opposition to US interests.

  2. The United States relies on countries being underdeveloped in order to easily obtain natural resources.

  3. High birth rates result in more young adults who oppose established governments [ie, stooge regimes].

  4. US businesses are vulnerable to interference by foreign governments, which need to provide for their growing populations.

The United States has nothing to offer the world anymore but a face of death. Its rulers have long feared that “population growth [in the developing world] is a threat to US national security” that could “undermine US economic power”. This was stated explicitly in national security study memorandum (NSSM) 200.

Imperialism needs to impede the world’s technical development and productive forces if it is to maintain its parasitism and monopoly status. It should not be a surprise, therefore, that the USA has for some time already been promoting unrest and separatism

    Should we start a collection of official mask-off memoranda?

    How about George Kennan's Memo PPS23?

    we have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction.

    We should cease to talk about vague and—for the Far East—unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.

        Going to just start responding to chuds doing the 13/50 bullshit with “Despite making up only 6.3% of the world population the US controls 50% of its resources”
