The Chilling Truth Behind Memorandum 200: Henry Kissinger’s Population Control Agenda

When people talk about Henry Kissinger, they usually mention diplomacy, Cold War strategies, or the Nobel Peace Prize. But there’s a darker chapter that rarely gets the spotlight — National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200) — a government document that quietly outlines how population control in developing nations could serve U.S. strategic interests. Drafted under Kissinger’s direction in 1974, it remained classified until 1989.

Wait — Why Was It Classified?

If NSSM 200 was just a basic demographic study, why did it need to be locked away for 15 years?

Because it wasn’t just research — it was a blueprint for controlling the reproductive futures of entire nations, especially in the Global South. It explicitly connected population growth in countries like India, Brazil, Nigeria, and others with threats to U.S. access to resources, particularly minerals.

The memo recommended that the U.S. use foreign aid, food assistance, and health programs to influence and reduce birth rates — while avoiding any appearance of coercion or colonialism. In short: “Control them, but quietly.”

Kissinger: Diplomat or Demographic Engineer?

Kissinger’s name is already linked with controversial foreign policies — from Vietnam bombings to supporting authoritarian regimes in Latin America — but NSSM 200 reveals another layer. It shows a mindset where human life is weighed against geopolitical benefit. And when it comes to the developing world, that life is often seen as expendable.

These weren’t just population concerns — they were economic and strategic calculations, treating human beings as a resource problem.

Genocide in Disguise?

Some critics argue NSSM 200 was nothing less than soft genocide — not carried out with weapons, but with policy. The goal wasn’t to empower developing nations, but to reduce their numbers so the U.S. could more easily extract their resources without resistance.

If it wasn’t dangerous or unethical, then why was it kept secret?

The Bilderberg Connection

Here’s where things go even deeper. Kissinger wasn’t only operating within the U.S. government — he was also a key member of the Bilderberg Group, one of the most secretive and elite global networks of power. Founded in 1954, Bilderberg meetings bring together top politicians, bankers, CEOs, and media figures to “discuss global issues” — always behind closed doors, with no media, no public oversight, and no transcripts.

Kissinger was a regular presence at these meetings. That’s not coincidence — it’s coordination.

Combine that with NSSM 200, and the picture becomes clearer: population control wasn’t just a U.S. idea, it was part of a larger, transnational agenda among global elites to manage the world’s resources — and the people on the wrong end of that system.

Why We Should Still Be Talking About This

The ideas in NSSM 200 didn’t disappear when the Cold War ended. They just evolved — hidden in phrases like “reproductive health,” “sustainable development,” or “climate resilience.” But the core idea — that certain populations are a threat to global order — still lingers in international policy circles.

So we ask:

Who gets to decide whose population is a “problem”?

How many modern policies are echoes of NSSM 200?

And why are these decisions still being made in secret rooms by unelected elites?

NSSM 200 isn’t just a historical document — it’s a warning.

And Kissinger’s legacy isn’t peace — it’s power without accountability.
