What?

First of all, that's an admission that kissinger himself never had good intelligence. If he did, he wouldn't have made such a categorical statement.

But it's also internally contradictory. If you don't know what the other side is thinking, how the fuck do you know they don't have spies listening to you? Did Russia call this asshole and say "geez, we're in the dark here. Is it like that for you too?"

Pick up any masterful piece of writing by this fucknozzle and you'll find nuggets like that on every page if not every alternate paragraph.

There are many things to criticize about Henry Kissinger’s career. Leftists point to the bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War, American complicity in the coup in Chile that brought down the Communist regime of Salvador Allende, and his interference in Iranian politics.

Conservatives, on the other hand, underscore his betrayal of the South Vietnamese and the abandonment of democratic Taiwan. They add that calling Kissinger a scholar statesman, as some do, makes no sense given his decades-long service to Communist China as a paid lobbyist/apologist for the regime.

But I would lay an additional charge against the one-time American diplomat.

It was Henry Kissinger, as Nixon’s National Security Advisor, who oversaw the production of an infamous memo that turned population control into a weapon in the Cold War. Even today, his argument that America’s national security depends upon waging war on people continues to be used to justify the promotion of abortion, sterilization and contraception around the world.

National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200), as the memo was called, was more commonly known as “The Kissinger Report” after its author. The 250-page report, a joint effort of the NSA, CIA, State, and Pentagon was kept secret—for good reason—until it was finally declassified in 1989.

Believing that people mean power, and worried about the demographic decline of the West, these practitioners of realpolitik unapologetically sought to engineer a fertility decline among more prolific peoples. And they were fully prepared to deceive and strongarm other countries into doing so.

The Kissinger Report warned that, “If present fertility rates were to remain constant, the 1974 population of 3.9 billion would increase to 7.8 billion by the year 2000 and rise to a theoretical 103 billion by 2075.” [italics added] Having conjured up this impossible flood of humanity, what consequences did these “secret” agencies foresee for America?

The report argued that rapid population growth is a security threat because it would lead to competition for the raw materials needed for the US economy, and provide opportunities for the Soviet Union and China to promote communist revolutions and recruit client states.

Thus was population control declared to be a weapon in the Cold War. The immediate result was a huge jump in population control spending by the US and its allies. Dozens of countries around the world were identified as targets, especially those which were considered to be vulnerable to communist insurrection, such as Thailand and the Philippines, and those sitting on top of valuable metals, including the nations comprising the southern tier of Africa.

Population control, by preserving our access to strategic raw materials and slowing the spread of communism, would eliminate future threats to US national security. In this way it would preserve America’s global advantage in arms, wealth, and all-around geopolitical muscle.
