Debt, Charity or Population Control? Trump Designates $55 Million to USAID to “Help” Iraqi Christians
By Julio
Severo
The Christian press is hailing efforts of
U.S. President Donald Trump to help Christians in Iraq.
The United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) said last week that $55 million of a $75
million tranche of aid money to the U.N. Development Program’s Funding
Facility for Stabilization will go to addressing minority groups in areas of
northern Iraq retaken from the Islamic State (ISIS).
FoxNews reported, “USAID payment
already forwarded to the UNDP fund is to be especially aimed at ‘those
who have been victims of atrocities by ISIS.’”
According to USAID’s press release: “The
United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have agreed to increase assistance to
Iraqis, particularly religious and ethnic minorities, to enable them to return
to their homes in areas liberated from ISIS.”
Yet, there are concerns.
“UNDP has been grossly mismanaged, is not transparent,
and has deliberately marginalized the genocide that targeted Christian and
Yazidi minorities for over the past two years,” observes Nina Shea, head of the
Center for Religious Freedom at the Hudson Institute, and a strong critic of
the U.N.’s behavior toward the minority refugees.
“What concerns me is that the bulk of the [Trump] money now for the Christians, the vast
majority of it, is going to go through the UN,” Shea said.
“I have no confidence in the UNDP,” said she.
Shea is right about UNDP. According to
Facts of Life, a pro-life handbook published by Human Life International (HLI)
and written by Dr. Brian Clowes, the United Nations Development Programme has partnerships
with pro-abortion groups, including the International Planned Parenthood
Federation.
Yet, USAID also deserves no confidence as
far as population control is involved.
In a HLI
article, Clowes said,
“The
United States National Security Council is the highest decision-making body on
foreign policy in the United States. On December 10, 1974, it promulgated a top
secret document entitled National Security Study Memorandum 200, also called
The Kissinger Report. Its subject was ‘Implications of Worldwide Population
Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.’ This document, published
shortly after the first major international population conference in Bucharest,
was the result of collaboration among the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),
the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the
Departments of State… Although the United States government has issued hundreds
of policy papers dealing with various aspects of American national security
since 1974, NSSM 200 continues to be the foundational document on population
control issued by the United States government. It therefore continues to
represent official United States policy on population control.”
NSSM 200, which was issued under a
Republican (“conservative” and “right-wing”) administration, presents U.S.
strategies to integrate population control measures (called euphemistically as “family
planning”) and health and medical services. USAID was actively involved in the elaboration
and implementation of NSSM 200, which mentions UNDP as included in its efforts.
What kind of “assistance” two population
control agencies (USAID and UNDP) will give Iraqi Christians who survived ISIS?
Health services integrated with “family planning”?
The Washington Free Beacon obtained photos of United Nations Development Program
projects in Christian and Yazidi towns in northern Iraq, showing “completed”
school-rehabilitation projects that amounted to a thin coat of paint on
exterior walls with freshly stenciled UNICEF logos every 30 feet.
Inside the building, the rooms remained
untouched and unusable, lacking running water, power, and furniture.
Usually, the only thing not lacking in such
areas in dire need is population control. Even though there is a lack of everything
necessary, there is an abundance of contraceptives, condoms, IUDS, etc.
Do
Christians deserve it?
Iraqi Christians |
This is a very serious accusation. If
Trump was right, the U.S. government under Obama committed crimes against
vulnerable Christians by training, funding and arming ISIS, which raped,
tortured and slaughtered Christians.
Iraqi Christians deserve much more than
population control “assistance.” They deserve due reparations, including
weapons to defend themselves. If the U.S. government under Obama could give arms
to ISIS and other Islamic groups to attack Christians, why cannot the U.S. government
under Trump give arms to Christians to defend themselves?
On behalf of the U.S. government, Trump
owes an official apology to Iraqi Christians and all the victims of ISIS
created by Obama. This apology is long overdue.
Population control is not assistance. It
is to finish the extermination job ISIS began.
Also,
the Trump administration should open America’s doors
for Iraqi Christians who survived ISIS. After all, they were victims of an
Islamic terror group created by an American president. To welcome them as
refugees is much more than charity. It is due reparation.
The U.S. economy has increased under
Trump. Why not use a good part of these profits ($7 billion would be a good
start) to help ISIS’s victims?
