Darren Beattie calls for sterilization of “low-IQ trash,” - Trump regime appointee

“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.

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

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 .....
"Elon Musk: Billionaire's daughter cuts ties with her father"

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

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.

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

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.

Churchview Sun 16-Feb-25 17:46:10

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.

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.

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.

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.

👏👏👏👏👏

But how ironic some of these folks acted voted for Trump!

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.

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.

When it became possible to identify Down's babies in the womb my mother was very keen on the idea of terminating the pregnancies in the hope that the mutation could be bred out and Down's would disappear. I don't know how much further she would have taken it. What would she have thought if she had lived to see her two autistic grandchildren. Of course she grew up in the 30s, when Eugenics was seen as the way to improve society. She doesn't seem to have linked the eugenics she approved of with the actions of the Nazis.

Surely the practice of encouraging women to abort with Down's syndrome right up until 38 weeks is an example of eugenics in our own country? I am not anti-abortion in general, but this seems a very extreme way of using it against a particular kind of human who is viewed as being not good enough for our society.

I was interested to know how much pressure is put on women if they are found to be pregnant with a Down's child, and though these are random articles, and not very scientific check, I suspect that there is quite a lot of persuasion used, at the very least.

Now Trump is cosying up to both Trump and Netunyatu the rest of the world should be very wary.

As I’ve stated before, be afraid, be very afraid!

Trump is a dictator who prefers the company of those similarly inclined.
When I look at him, the way he walks, his gestures, his facial expressions, and of course his egotistical entitled and alt right attitudes, I see Mussolini.
If I believed in reincarnation I would swear that is proof positive.

Babs03 Sat 15-Feb-25 10:34:45

That saying sounds a bit wrong, I think is ‘believe them’ not ‘believe it’.
Oh well you get my drift.

@Rula
With regard to the Nazi salute. Based upon what I have learned about Musk and the increasingly fascist far right hirings in the administration, as well as States like Utah saying is lawful to display the Nazi and confederate flag in schools, I now have not a single solitary doubt that Musk was indeed giving a Nazi salute. A gold plated, officially stamped, Nazi salute. And he must have been laughing at all the people who tried to excuse this. More fool us. As the saying goes ‘if somebody shows themselves to you once, believe it’
I certainly believe it.

Hence the huge rise of Trad Wives in the States..

I am worried about how AI will be used.. it could be such a powerful tool for evil

She didn't speak up for him, she wrote this -

"I'm just gonna say let's call a spade a f***ing spade. Especially if there were two spades done in succession based on the reaction of the first spade,"

Actually she spoke up for her father when the 'Nazi salute' went viral. So there maybe little love there at the moment she clearly wanted to put right a wrong

I'm surprised that anyone would have the guts to actually say something like this. It's straight out of a Nazi handbook! The elimination of inferiors was a big part of their doctrine.

I do agree that certain criminals should be sterilised.

Which ones and why? The criminal will only contribute half the child's DNA and it is nurture and very rarely nature that produces, even deviant criminals.

There are already laws that can stop a parents seeing a child or being part of their upbringing.
