Excerpt from Piotrow’s “World Population Crisis” Re: Jaffe
Source: WORLD POPULATION CRISIS by Phyllis Piotrow, pgs 150-156. 1973 Excerpt: [Strategies] Ravenholt who had drafted much of the cable was even more determined than Gaud to meet or exceed the congressional targets of $35 million in 1968 and $50 million in 1969. Under his leadership the Population Service became more than just a staff …
Ravenholt Comments on Various Population Control Organizations
From a transcript located here. Note remarks about Bernard Berelson near the bottom. [Very interesting remarks about Rockefeller’s interest in the Philippines, later in the transcript, not included here.] Sharpless Hm. What about your work with the International Planned Parenthood Federation? Ravenholt When we began, the International Planned Parenthood Federation was surely the leading world …
The Population Control Agenda as It Unfolded for Planned Parenthood
As stated on the home page, the purpose of this site is not to nail down precisely what Planned Parenthood decided to do, but rather to lay out the options they were considering. Even this modest purpose is fought by Planned Parenthood defenders, who would like us to believe that the organization is thoroughly committed …
Berelson’s Response to Jaffe
The table in Jaffe’s memorandum is singled out because it distills into one page the callous mindset of the ‘family planning’ advocates, regardless of whether or not any particular proposal was eventually implemented or discarded: the fact that they were even willing to consider them at all is quite telling. However, Jaffe was only one …
Michael Young, Meritocracy
Michael Young is listed as a source in the Jaffe memo table, in particular his remarks at the “NIH Conference” in June, of 1967. Bernard Berelson references the same remarks in his article, “Beyond Family Planning.” Evidently, a full transcript exists, but Young’s remarks are summarized in the Conference Report, which is what Berelson cites …
Judith Blake: Demographic Science and the Redirection of Population Policy
Judith Blake’s essay, “Demographic Science and the Redirection of Population Policy” as found in M.C. and Ridley, J.C. (Ed.) Sheps “Public Health and Population Change” is listed as a source for Jaffe’s table. [The development school of thought maintains that] “Policy must be therefore directed at accelerating overall social and economic development which, in turn, …
Arthur C Clarke, “Standing Room Only”
Arthur C. Clarke’s “Standing Room Only” was printed in Harper’s in 1958, and referenced by Lincoln and Alice Day’s Too Many Americans. Clarke proposes–reluctantly, as he puts it–various ways to save the earth from over-population devastation. Compulsory homosexuality and infanticide are included.
Lincoln Day and Alice Day: Too Many Americans, Tomorrow’s Issue
Lincoln and Alice Day’s book, Too Many Americans: Tomorrow’s Issue is cited as a source for the ideas on the Jaffe Memo table. Typical of all birth control and family planning advocates who are concerned about over-population, they prefer ‘voluntary’ methods but are not above coercive ones–should they be necessary. From the dust jacket: They …
William Shockley, Ontario Speech 1967.
The Jaffe Memo table lists William Shockley’s speech in Ontario, in 1967, as a source for ideas. The same speech is cited by Bernard Berelson, in his article Beyond Family Planning, which must in some way be a reaction to Jaffe’s memorandum. Here is the reference as provided by Berelson: As of this writing, the …

ABOUT THE BOOK
Average Americans were told, "You will own nothing, and be happy." They are not happy, but now they have nothing, so have nothing left to lose. But what to do? A mysterious 'Corn King' proves to be the catalyst. The 'Corn King' explains how activist-soldiers like Saul Alinsky have targeted them, and reveals how Americans can turn the tables on their oppressors using the same tactics that were used against them.
Individuals are tired of being chewed up and spit out in the progressive's bid to create a 'perfect society, ' but is it too late to do anything about it? In The Corn Siege, America finally ruptures, the rage spreading from 'fly over' country in a great wave that ultimately reaches the coasts, threatening to drown them.
The Corn Siege is satirical fiction, not prophecy. It glories in skewering the people who believe we don't need farms because we have grocery stores. It mocks the people who believe you can plant a cow and harvest lettuce. In The Corn Siege, people get what they deserve: the harvest of the kinds of seeds they intentionally planted.
REVIEWS
From Michael P. "Ripped from the headlines, if you live in a non-coastal US state this book could be for you."
From Joseph C. "I cannot recommend it strongly enough for the libertarians and conservatives in your life. It would also be good for liberals who actually think, or have the potential to rethink their position. It should be mandatory reading in college literature courses. But it won’t be, and that’s part of the point of the book."
From Snap. "Another landmark piece of literature, “Fahrenheit 451”, describes a dystopian future in which the noble purpose of firefighters is ‘corrupted’ by being tasked to burn books. In the “The Corn Siege” one gets a similar feeling and experiences that “451” provides, however there are subtle and simultaneously significant differences. Instead of book burning, it is a burning of the meaning and purpose of the Constitution. Thus, instead of securing the liberties of the people, the words are corrupted in order to justify any well-meaning intrusion that can be thought up, even when the words of the Constitution plainly preclude such intrusions. It is Horvath’s commentary on that corruption of the intended message that governs his entire story.
Somewhere, and Horvath alludes to Saul Alinsky’s writings in the 1970’s as being a possible root, American ideals have been hijacked to create a distorted present-day society. This is a major departure from what was intended by the founding fathers. Half the country has begun arming itself in response. The other half is confused, asking “Why? Why can’t we all just get along?”.
