“A Trump State Department official has, on a number of occasions, called for the sterilization of “low-IQ trash,” a new report has revealed.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has appointed Darren Beattie to be the acting undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs, a senior role that represents American foreign policy to the world.

In May 2024, Beattie wrote on X: “Population control? If only!”
“Higher quality humans are subsidizing the fertility of lower quality humans,” he added, calling it the “Foundational reality of social and political life in the post-war West.”

““Pay smart people to have more kids, disincentivize stupid people from having kids. So simple but molds destiny on deep intergenerational level.”

He responded in September 2023 to news regarding African migrants rioting in Israel by saying that the Israeli government “could literally just round them up and drop them in the ocean. Let the ‘human rights groups’ whine... drop them in the ocean too!

Darren Beattie was a speech writer for Trump in his first administration

this all has a horrible ring to it from the 1930's.

Apologies re the above. I forgot this is an international group. I was referring to the UK in particular as I don't know the laws on this in other countries.

Many of the “low-IQ trash,” were they not born into abject poverty (in the 'States), with little access to health facilties and poorly educated might well not be 'low IQ trash if they grew up in a less poverty stricken home with access to good food, good medecine and good education.

What is wanted is not eugenics in any form but a reduction in the level poverty, fewer obscenely ricch and fewer obscenely poor.

Yes absolutely. But Trump and his cronies are playing to the gallery with this, as all populists do, making others feel superior by dint of how much wealth they have, their skin colour, and gender.
This is how supremacists talk.
And sadly appealing to people’s egos works.

I wonder who would fight their wars when they needed "boots on the ground" - is it not often the so-called “low-IQ trash” whose patriotism is called upon?

Ditto keeping the streets swept and cleaned, etc, - who's going to do all those menial, but essential, jobs that keep things ticking over? Are the high-status / IQ tech bro's going to make a roster and take it in turns to do these jobs?

Especially when the illegal immigrants are sent back home.

Perhaps the likes of Trump, Musk and Vance don't care about clean streets or menial jobs. Their electric gates and money will insulate them from any deterioration in the world us ordinary folk will be forced to live in.

They went after veterans health care, jobs and services yesterday. The mental health crisis hotline for veterans in crisis is being affected.

Add another group of Trump voters unhappy with Trump.

We're reading here (UK) about National Parks staff being laid off too.

Surely with this many people hitting the employment market at the same time jobs will be scarce and people will be struggling to meet their outgoings right across America.

Trump wants to sell off our public lands to the highest bidder to drill on. He doesn't need Park Rangers if there are no national parks.

Our national parks are so popular that they have resorted to metering entrance by forcing visitors to buy tickets for certain days. This will leave a big hole in my heart because I have spent most of my life camping and visiting National Parks.

Hundreds of thousands of people are being laid off, by the government and as a direct result of the government. A recession is looming
I fear a depression.

They can only live inside the palisade (the 'pale') for so long before those 'beyond the pale' become restless. You cannot subjugate people permanently.

He already has. One of his sons is a now transwoman. He has disowned her and cut her out of his will.

I thought it was the other way around M0nica..?: www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-61880709 .....

imaround I feel for you. I live in a national park here and know how precious they are to people, visitors and residents alike, not to mention the wildlife that live in them.

I think it is a mix of the two. Both have disowned the other.

Hitler emulated the eugenics in the USA and praised what was happening. Forced sterilisation is fairly recent in the US. Google Mississippi appendectomies.
