The ecofascist movement has long consisted of people who want fewer people on the planet. They value this rock called earth more than the people on it. Commentator Matt Walsh explores some of the origins of this depopulation movement, which he draws back to Planned Parenthood.

About five decades ago, in 1969, Planned Parenthood produced a step-by-step roadmap for depopulating the United States. This document is called the “Jaffe memo,” after the man who drafted it: Frederick Jaffe, who is also the founder of the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute. He wrote the document in response to a letter from Bernard Berelson, who was the head of the Population Council. Berelson wanted a summary of expert opinions on how to make sure we have fewer people in this country.

Jaffe’s memo makes clear that the feminist movement is a core component of a much broader depopulation agenda. And that agenda has been achieved, for the most part. Point by point, it has become reality, just like they drew it up. If you want evidence that pretty much every problem facing Americans today wasn’t just predictable, but planned, then this memo is a very interesting read, to say the least. And if you want to know where the depopulation agenda is heading in the future, then it’s vitally important that you understand every word of the document. …

The Jaffe memo begins with this statement: “Continued U.S. population growth will inevitably cause a deterioration in the quality of life of this and future generations.” The document adds that many experts believe that, “explicit U.S. policy to encourage or compel smaller family size in the U.S. is necessary.”

That statement is really enough to understand the objective, but Walsh proceeds to analyze the memo for all its implications about human population. It includes a column from a chart near the end of that memo:

“Restructure family: Postpone or avoid marriage. Alter image of ideal family size. Compulsory education of children. Encourage increased homosexuality. Educate for family limitation. Fertility control agents in the water supply. Encourage women to work.”

Note especially that Planned Parenthood is admitting that homosexuality can be “encouraged.” That’s the whole grooming conversation.

But more to the point, as Walsh concludes:

With every passing year, we get closer and closer to realizing every single wish-list item on the Jaffe memo. We have seen this agenda unfold, in front of our eyes, for decades. It is not natural. It is not inevitable. It was preplanned, and even now, it’s still in progress.

When you realize that, it puts the fake debates over “climate change” and “gender affirming care” in context. Whatever branding they come up with, the end goal is, and has always been the same: depopulation. That just happens to be where all of this activism leads.

You can choose to believe that’s a coincidence. You can come up with some alternative theory for why every single Left-wing cause happens to match perfectly with the Jaffe memo. But whatever the case, there’s one thing you can’t deny — which is that all the way back in 1969, Planned Parenthood planned all of it.
