PACKARD AND TURNER TARGET 3RD WORLD FOR POP CONTROL
Boy Scouts Paid To Push Abortion
NEW YORK, Mar 27 (LSN.ca) – Last Thursday, the foundations of both deceased computer tycoon David Packard and CNN media mogul Ted Turner announced multi-million dollar spending for depopulation among people of colour in the third world. The David and Lucille Packard Foundation announced more than $13 million in new grants “to develop innovative ways to bring voluntary family planning services to young people in the developing world.”
The Packard money will go partly to the cleverly named “Family Health International” (FHI) which, exploiting and redefining the role of the World Association of Girl Guides and Boy Scouts, will educate up to 900 Boy Scouts and Girl Guides in India on adolescent and reproductive health. According to FHI, trained Boy Scouts and Girl Guides who earn the new Healthy Adolescent Project Badge will become peer educators and reach, in turn, at least 22,500 adolescents and young adults in the Health Adolescent Refugees Program (HARP).” The remainder will go to “Teen Healthquarters” in the Philippines. The foundation notes that Teen Healthquarters, “provides Filipino adolescents with counseling services, education, and primary healthcare including a full range of reproductive health services.” This means very explicit sex information and promotion of condoms, contraception and abortion and acceptance of unmarried sexual activity and homosexuality and undermining of important cultural and religious traditions.
Turner’s cash will go to projects such as: “improv[ing] the reproductive health of adolescent girls in rural Bangladesh” ($1,063,705); Social licensing of reproductive health clinics in Honduras ($2,513,338); and “voluntary confidential counseling and testing for HIV/AIDS, distribution of condoms, treatment of sexually-transmitted diseases, family planning and HIV/AIDS and sexual education” in Mozambique ($2,751,000).
