How Bill Gates and his ‘bright idea’ caused mass starvation in Africa

Letter to Melinda Gates from an African woman with medical training—
"All I can say with certainty is that we, as a society, LOVE and welcome babies. ...every baby's life is celebrated by the entire village with dancing (real dancing!) and clapping and singing - a sort of "Gloria in excelsis Deo." So a few weeks ago I stumbled upon the plan and promise of Melinda Gates to implant the seeds of her "legacy" in 69 of the poorest countries in the world (most of which are in Sub-Saharan Africa).

Her pledge is to collect pledges for almost $5 billion in order to ensure that the African woman is less fertile, less encumbered and, yes, she says, more "liberated." With her incredible wealth she wants to replace the legacy of an African woman (which is her child) with the legacy of "child-free sex."

Many of the 69 targeted countries are Catholic countries with millions of Catholic women of child-bearing age. These Catholic women have been rightly taught by the Church that the contraceptive drug and device is inherently divisive.

Unlike what we see in the developed Western world, there is actually very high compliance with Pope Paul VI's "Humanae Vitae." For these African women, in all humility, have heard, understood and accepted the precious words of the prophetic pope. Funny how people with a much lower literacy level could clearly understand that which the average Vogue- and Cosmo-reading-high-class woman has refused to understand. I guess humility makes all the difference. With most African women faithfully practicing and adhering to a faith (mainly Christian or in some cases Muslim), there is a high regard for sex in society, especially among the women. Sex is sacred and private.

The moment these huge amounts of contraceptive drugs and devices are injected into the roots of our society, they will undoubtedly start to erode and poison the moral sexual ethics that have been woven into our societal DNA by our faith, not unlike the erosion that befell the Western world after the 1930 Lambeth conference! In one fell swoop and one "clean" slice, the faithful could be severed from their professed faith.

Both the frontline healthcare worker dispensing Melinda's legacy gift and the women fettered and shackled by this gift, would be separated from their religious beliefs. They would be put in a precarious position to defy their faith - all for "safe sex."

And what about disposal of the medical waste? Despite advanced sewage disposal in the First-world countries, we hear that aquatic life there is still adversely affected by drugs in the system. In Africa, be rest assured that both in the biggest cities and smaller rural villages, sewage constitutes a real problem. So as $4.6 billion worth of drugs, IUDs and condoms get used, they will need safe disposal. Can someone please show us how and where will that be? On our farm lands where we get all our food? In our streams and rivers from whence comes our drinking water?

I see this $4.6 billion buying us misery. I see it buying us unfaithful husbands. I see it buying us streets devoid of the innocent chatter of children. I see it buying us disease and untimely death. I see it buying us a retirement without the tender loving care of our children.

Please Melinda, listen to the heart-felt cry of an African woman and mercifully channel your funds to pay for what we REALLY need.

We need:

- Good healthcare systems (especially prenatal, neonatal and pediatric care).
- Food programs for young children.
- Good higher education opportunities
- Chastity programs
- Support for micro-business opportunities for women
- Fortify already established NGOs that are aimed at protecting women from sex-trafficking, prostitution, forced marriage, child labor, domestic violence, sex crimes, etc."

True, Paul. But many of these African countries don't even have clean water. They do not have companies that could bear any cost of drilling. They have next to nothing. Many don't have shoes. That is why the Christian organization Elijah Streams has gone in to Uganda and to maybe another, and are drilling water wells. There are times and situations when mercy is needed and politics is not. Otherwise, I would agree with you. One older woman,,.. I heard someone give this woman's testimony. Years before, her young daughter went the mile or more, in the am (they go 2x a day for water from a pit) to get water for the family. The pit was down an incline. The girl couldn't swim. She slid in. Drowned. Every day after that, 2x per day, the Mom had to go get the water for the family.

When Elijah Streams heard the story, they sent their team in. Found water. Close to her home. Drilled. The entire community lives of that water. I saw the video. And imagined being that Mother.

  Jea9, most of the things you list are handouts. People who don't work for it will never appreciate it. That's why no one sane supports these things in the United States of America, where people are taught to rely on themselves and not on the government.

  That's a sad story. It's always better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish and it's also always better to bet on self reliance rather than government handouts.

  I know that. But a Mother's heart, broken like that. And a life situation of helplessness before brutal conditions. It's just too much. What could she do? Nothing.
