This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence.

When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government.”

Kissinger named 13 target countries for population control, including Brazil, India, Egypt, Mexico, Ethiopia, Columbia, and others.”
