Eugenics Education Chapter 1: History

This is a research project that I am conducting with friends.

The information I present is this article may be detrimental to your mental health and may cause severe cognitive dissonance. Please proceed carefully. There is no possible way I can cover every single angle and subject. the reader will be expected to do their own research. However, I will follow a specific path as this subject can get out of control really fast. Lets see if we can get an understanding of what this is and how it works. We will discover why there is such a thing as a conspiracy.

Chapter 1:
The true history of eugenics

Eugenics, while not at the time formally named, is an ideology the human race has experienced for thousands of years. Out of historical slavery we can trace eugenics back to Moses and before. The concept of the Pharaohs seeking out the first born sons and slaughtering them is a eugenics concept considered negative eugenics. Eugenic can be traced back to the time of the Greco-Roman who would through feeble babies over a cliff. While the validity of that claim is currently under debate we have record of both Plato and Socrates supporting the killing of new born who showed physical defects (http://internetbiblecollege.net/Lessons/Killing%20new-borns%20in%20ancient%20greece%20and%20rome.pdf )
From the image in the first post regarding the Eugenics Society of America. We can see their slogan “Eugenics is the self direction of the human evolution – like a tree draws its materials from many sources and organizes them into an harmonious entity”. We can also see the vast amount of categories the society plans to control for the betterment of the human race. They accomplish this through revisionist history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_revisionism ).
‘These, and other, scholarly voices, called for a more comprehensive treatment of American history, stressing that the mass of Americans, not simply the power élites, made history. Yet, it was mainly white males of the power élite who had the means to attend college, become professional historians, and shape a view of history that served their own class, race, and gender interests at the expense of those not so fortunate — and, quite literally, to paper over aspects of history they found uncomfortable. “One is astonished in the study of history”, wrote Du Bois (we will address him at a future time) in 1935, “at the recurrence of the idea that evil must be forgotten, distorted, skimmed over. . . . The difficulty, of course, with this philosophy is that history loses its value, as an incentive and [as] an example; it paints perfect men and noble nations, but it does not tell the truth”’

What we experienced in America during slavery would be considered positive Eugenics in a negative way. Positive being pairing desirable traits for desirable outcomes. We look back at the African American who arguably out performs in almost every sports endeavor, and we can trace that to selective breading. Selective breeding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_breeding ) is a process used by farmers for their livestock, horses, and plants. While most people are familiar with the world famous eugenicist Hitler, the narrative leads most to believe Eugenics started in Europe. However, this is far from true.

Eugenics is based on the pseudo-science put forth by Darwin's “Origin of the species - 1859” more widely known as Darwin’s Theory Of Evolution (for those who would argue this as a pseudo-science, its written in the name “Theory”) (Support: https://www.livescience.com/474-controversy-evolution-works.html , Against:

), this combined with Gregor Mendel (

) and his pea plants experiment would eventually be combined by Sir Francis Galton (Cousin of Charles Darwin) to develop and term the concept of the pseudo-science “Eugenics” in 1883 America. Galton was quite a scholar who coined the term Nature vs Nurture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_versus_nurture) to study whether human behavior are hereditable or environmental. Galton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Galton ) was also one of the first to apply mathematics and statistics to human behavior and patterns.

Before we can go further with the discussion we need to analyze the mission of Eugenics and what feeble minded and/or unfit means. I chose the website listed with the picture because It portrayed an somewhat accurate perception of what feeble minded means. Here is an excerpt from (http://knowgenetics.org/history-of-eugenics/ ):
“”The ERO spent time tracking family histories and concluded that people deemed to be unfit more often came from families that were poor, low in social standing, immigrant, and/or minority. Further, ERO researchers “demonstrated” that the undesirable traits in these families, such as pauperism, were due to genetics, and not lack of resources.
Committees were convened to offer solutions to the problem of the growing number of “undesirables” in the U.S. population. Stricter immigration rules were enacted, but the most ominous resolution was a plan to sterilize “unfit” individuals to prevent them from passing on their negative traits. During the 20th century, a total of 33 states had sterilization programs in place. While at first sterilization efforts targeted mentally ill people exclusively, later the traits deemed serious enough to warrant sterilization included alcoholism, criminality chronic poverty, blindness, deafness, feeble-mindedness, and promiscuity. It was also not uncommon for African American women to be sterilized during other medical procedures without consent. Most people subjected to these sterilizations had no choice, and because the program was run by the government, they had little chance of escaping the procedure. It is thought that around 65,000 Americans were sterilized during this time period.””

I really hope you absorbed that. If you deemed to be: poor, low societal class, immigrant or minority, mental disability, insane, physical disability, alcoholic, chronic poverty, blind, deaf, “feeble-minded”, and promiscuous, then you were a candidate for government mandated forced sterilization in 33+ states and you could be grabbed off the street. This was a similar condition in Europe as well. The article goes on to state “In response to these ideas, some US leaders, private citizens, and corporations started funding eugenical studies.” This was the science of the times and anyone who is anyone leader or businessman with money threw dollars at the problem including, Carnegie, Rockefeller, Alexander Graham Bell, to fund and support forced reproductive rights, forced sterilization and selective breading (http://listverse.com/2014/02/05/10-things-youve-never-heard-about-american-eugenics/ ).
The reason I said Eugenics Is a pseudo-science is because the classification of a candidate is so vague it can be used towards anyone at anytime (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics ). How many of us would classify as feeble-minded or unfit according to the definition? While we are lead to believe this was a racial issue, and no doubt it was narrated that way in America, the reality is people of any gender, race, social status, etc was subjected to this treatment. This can be seen in Europe. Eugenics was executed on the Jewish people, by Hitler and was being practiced even before world war one. I do not believe the Jewish people to be black, and therefore we must make the appropriate connections on a higher level of thought. Eugenics from the picture, indicates that if you find controversy in any established system, you are more than likely to only find a compartmentalized root of revisionist history, and never fully see the interconnected nature of the whole.
It would seem that the world was in the perfect spot in history to use the guinea pigs already available – slaves in America and Jewish people in Europe (under the guise of war and racial cleansing) to experiment with their philosophies.
After the horrors of Nazi Germany, the term Eugenics became unpopular and rightfully so. During the Nuremberg trials Nazis (The National Socialist German Workers' Party) defended themselves stating that their Eugenics program was no different from that of the US. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics ). The attention of the upper class would focus on renouncing the ideology closing down established societies and using Public Relations Firms to propagandize the people to clean up the image of remaining organizations. However, the Eugenics Society of America would survive all the way up to 1972, When it would be renamed: Society for the Study of Social Biology (https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/american-eugenics-society-1926-1972 ).
Welcome to the matrix.
For my question I will source a liberal newspaper and provide background info.
California, which is arguably one of the most liberal minded states in our nation had an investigation conducted from 2006-2010, where a journalist discovered that almost 200 women were forced sterilized in the prison systems. The journalist informed the governor that she would quietly allow him time to resolve the problem and remove Eugenics laws from his books. She would return at a future date to determine if the problem was rectified. When she returned in 2010 to discover nothing had changed she went public with the article. It would take until 2014 for the law to be repealed effective January 1st 2015. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/29/california-prison-sterilization_n_5903304.html )
At this time there were still 30+ states with these laws on their books. As of right now I am unable to determine how many states still have them on their books and I have devoted enough time to this first article I need a rest. (https://rewire.news/article/2017/01/30/state-eugenics-sheds-light-north-carolinas-sterilization-abuse/ )

The questions I pose to all:
Where you aware of this?
If not why do you think you were not informed?
Why is this not discussed on mainstream media?
