The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 243
As was previously shown, in NSSM 200, Henry Kissinger detailed how the U.S. would
use international multilateral organizations such as the UNFPA, the World Bank and the IMF to
carry out their population control policies in LDCs. By using these organizations the U.S. hoped
to avoid criticism for their population policies. NSSM 200 also details how the World Bank and
IMF could require nations to adopt population control policies and goals as prerequisites for
receiving aid.
They have done this. “At the International Forum on Population held in Amsterdam in
1989, policy makers set targets for fertility reduction for the first time in many years arguing that
it is an essential development strategy for the 1990s. The World Bank has also been increasingly
demanding that Third World countries accept stringent population control programs as a
condition for receiving World Bank loans. Many Third World governments have adopted strong
family planning programs pursuing fertility reduction through extensive use of targets and
economic incentives.”

“During a briefing in November, 1998, at UN headquarters, Dr. Richard Feacham, the
World Bank’s Director for Health, Nutrition and Population (HNP) disclosed that approximately
30% of the World Bank’s annual portfolio for HNP loans or about $800 million was devoted to
population initiatives in 1996. He also stated that the World Bank has adopted an overall
mandate of reducing fertility rates, claiming it will alleviate poverty.”

At the World Congress of Families II, Gwendolyn C. Landolt, spoke regarding the World
Banks involvement in the proliferation of abortion throughout the third world. The following is
an excerpt from her speech:
The World Bank is the largest single source of external funding for third
world countries. Debt forgiveness, for development funds now provided by the
Bank, are at a reduced interest rate if the borrowing countries agree to implement
population control policies, disguised as women's empowerment policies.
In implementing these policies, the World Bank policy is influenced by
powerful NGOs. In fact, the World Bank has established an NGO/Civil Society
Secretariat and nearly half of all new projects approved by the bank in the past 5
years have included NGOs - who, of course, have a feminist, anti-family agenda.
As a result, in the past three decades, the World Bank's population control
division, called the Health, Nutrition and Population Division, has become the
fastest-growing area for bank lending, accounting for 20% of lending between
1996 and 1998, as compared with 3% a decade ago. Current estimates indicate
that “reproductive health” (i.e., abortion, contraception and sterility) now
constitute just under one third of the World Bank's population, health and
nutrition lending. Over the past 3 decades, the World Bank has loaned over US$4
billion to support “reproductive health” alone, through 212 projects in over 80
countries.
Significantly, the World Bank now also works in close cooperation with
anti-family UN agencies, such as the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA),
the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF and the UN's Human Rights
