On April 1, 1968 Robert S. McNamara takes up the role of the 5th President of the World Bank Group, having resigned as Secretary of Defense under President Kennedy and then President Johnson. McNamara was a “staunch believer in population control” and in his lead “position he was able to dictate a new policy, making World Bank loans to Third World countries contingent upon their governments’ submission to population control, with yearly sterilization quotas set by World Bank experts. Cash-short and heavily in debt, many poor nations found this pressure very difficult to withstand.”[1, 2]
The World Health Organisation, the World Bank, IMF, USAID and BMGF work hand in glove “aiding” developing nations which has morphed into “aiding” everyone.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank) were formed on December 27, 1945 following WWII, as permanent institutions, unlike the US “Marshall Plan” (a precursor to USAID) which “was specific: To stabilize Europe, not as a permanent program for European recovery but as an emergency tool of assistance”.
