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
