Comments on: California’s Killer Eugenics Program Inspired The Nazis https://barelyablog.com/californias-killer-eugenics-program-inspired-the-nazis/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Robert Glisson https://barelyablog.com/californias-killer-eugenics-program-inspired-the-nazis/comment-page-1/#comment-22241 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 21:41:04 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=48941#comment-22241 Scerie’s comment made me remember that I read that the 1929 Democratic Convention had as ‘Guest of honor’ or ‘Head Speaker’ the president of the American KKK. I have looked for that reference numerous times since then and have not found it. But your article and the comments are no surprise to me.

I don’t know if you have heard of it. But let me tell you,(although I shouldn’t be surprised), the way in which all of the Ivy League universities cultivated intimate relationships with the Nazis regime, it’s sickening. From student exchange programs, to inviting Nazis officials to visit, they were eager to show their support.

Hitler’s right hand man, Ersnt Hanfstaengl, a 1900 graduate of Harvard was a regular speaker at the university at the height of book burnings and their persecution of jews. This was common knowledge in the media and from German refugees. There were no secrets about the intentions of Nazis Germany.

The only good thing out of reading this book is that the students actively opposed their university administrators immoral support of the Nazis regime.

With the women’s colleges their administrators willingly and happily sent their students to a nation whose policies were to effectively turn women into breeding cows for the “Ayran” nation. Hitler had all women removed from the universities and the professions.

No one should be shocked by the willingness of the state to sterilize anyone they saw as “unfit”. Collectivism rears its ugly head.

I have seen this statistical allegation made in print, but I can’t remember where I saw it, nor do I have the expertise to know if the statement is justified.

You will probably find it interesting.

It appears CA had a long line of republican governors in the 1920s, 30s and 40s.

But I would expect present day CA liberals who run the state to compensate the survivors. Of course with that many victims, they probably don’t have enough money to do so.

Western Canada, at much the same time, was pretty keen on it, though not, it would appear as keen as Sweden, which kept up its own program of socialistic-eugenic snip-snip from the 1930s until Olof Palme lost office in 1976. As far as I know Palme never dared revive the scheme once back in power six years later. And in 1986 Palme was murdered, of course, so that was the end of that.

What I can’t understand is why Australian governments, so dictatorial in most other ways, never adopted such a program. Goodness knows there were plenty of “racial hygiene” doctors in Australia – no less than elsewhere – who would’ve jumped at the chance of sterilizing Jews, Catholics, Aborigines, those with limited IQs, or non-WASPS in general. And I mean doctors in the medical and political mainstream, not isolated Protocols-worshiping cranks stuck in far-north Queensland circa 1931.
