   Is to devise the philosophies in the Victorian era which have led to the sinister use of Eugenics in the 20th and 21st century.
   
   I am not proud of that. And I doubt that this is what the great Charles Darwin would have wanted.
   
   Those elitist and somewhat disturbing ideologies were, ultimately, the rubble which laid the foundations for the early 20th century obsession with eugenics.
   
   Whilst most developed nations used them, they would go on to play a large part in Hitlers ideology. I don't think that we should forget that, Americans too.
   
   It saddens me therefore to see a new form of 21st century eugenics, some of which mirrors those used by the Nazi party; some of which are being used in the UK. It is a slap in the face for any man still alive who fought on the frontline and watched brothers die in the name of liberty and freedom.
   
   I am writing a book, by the way, on 21st century eugenics. I'll let you know when it is finished.

               That is true enough. Of course, eugenics is also widespread in Israel, so I do take that back.
               
               But eugenics is very much prominent in America, the illuminati have advocated eugenics to reduce world population for some time. Largely through the use of vaccines but also through GM crops, by reducing the fertility rate of those that consume. Fluoride in 70% of American drinking water. The intention of those is to reduce fertility rates.
               
               The "good club", to be more specific, Bates and Co. The organisations which existed pre-WWII remain to this day, despite eugenics being demoted from social norm to social taboo as a result of the Nazi party.

                     It's more toxic than lead.
                     
                     Flouride was a nazi policy, they put flouride in water because it causes minor brain damage and makes people easier to control.
                     
                     It doesn't make them more stupid, but makes it more difficult for them to express emotions, and thus people are less dangerous to the establishment. Martin Luther King wouldn't have been as good at talking had he been exposed to just 12 months of the flouride concentration in the drinking water which currently exists in some parts of America, put it that way.
                     
                     Giving a child under three flouride can induce severe autism, yet drinking water does not come with this health warning. I am luckily not in a flouride area, if I were I would be drinking only bottled water, which would cost me a fortune.
                     
                     Flouride will probably take up three chapters of my book, at least, its a big one.

         The British did not start the slave trade, the earliest record of slavery dates back to 1760bc.
         
         The Roman Empire was built on the slave trade, as was Ancient Greece.
         
         In Medieval times slavery was commonplace throughout the world, most notably in the Byzantine Empire.
         
         By no stretch of the imagination did the British start the slave trade. Perhaps what you are referring to is the Atlantic slave trade.
         
         The assumption that the British were the pioneers of that would be completely wrong, if you were to state something like: "The Europeans were responsible for the Atlantic slave trade" then your statement would be accurate.
         
         The country responsible for the most trafficking of slaves was actually Portugal, followed by the British. The French, Spanish, and the Dutch were also very active in this 'industry'.
         
         In fact the first to ship slaves across the Atlantic were the Portuguese and Spanish, who shipped them to South America.
         
         There were actually very few Europeans step foot in Africa, the vast majority of African slaves were shipped to Europe BY AFRICANS, that industry was very much one which Africans themselves played a major part in. African prisoners were sold to Europeans by Africans, perhaps the descendants of those Africans can also apologise for the role of their ancestors in the slave trade? Thought not.
         
         Just because the British are the only European country to formally apologise for the slave trade, it doesn't make us the only guilty party and certainly doesn't make us the founders of that industry. Neither should that apology be an admission that the British were wholey responsible for the slave trade, and frankly that apology should have been accompanied with a "And now, these countries, should apologise... etc, etc, etc".
         
         Of course, what people often fail to recognise, is that whilst the British (like much of the world) participated in the slave trade, despite in no way starting it, they WERE the first European country to make the slave trade illegal through the  Slave Trade Act 1807 and then made slavery illegal in the UK completely through the Slavery Abolition Act 1833. Most other countries followed suit within a few decades.
         
         If you want to pin the blame on Britain for a largely global industry (The Muslim world was also extremely active, as were Asians), then perhaps back up your claims with a little more knowledge.
         
         Now, Eugenics, that DID start in the UK. Anything to add to that one?

            They did pillage countless countries of their wealth by occupying them/subjugating them/enslaving them basically. Isn't it a fact that they treated the populace of many of the erstwhile colonies as slaves? Whether you buy and sell or seek to profiteer through their lands and deny their peoples of their rightful freedom/rights to the produce of their own lands, it is much the same thing!!

               Yes, I wasn't denying that. I was pointing out that the slave trade was largely a European thing, and that the same was practiced by Spain, Portugal, France and Holland, in their own colonisation of the world.
               
               The British are always most closely associated with colonisation and the slave trade. Anybody who cares to read more about the history of the slave trade would find that a) we didn't start it, b) were not the most active, c) we are the only European country to offer a formal state apology for these activities, d) we ended the slave trade.

               Shahid, everything you say is true, and White society, as a general rule, does not acknowledge that its current privileged status is a result of relentless exploitation of non-White societies. You ask, "do you read History?" The answer is probably yes, but the history that most of us white guys read is history written by other white guys, and much of that either overlooks or tries to justify the colonialism of the last several hundred years.

                        The theories and philosophies of eugenics were not developed then. I am specifically talking about the Sir Francis Galton movement.
                        
                        Which was a direct result of the Charles Darwin theory of evolution. Without the theory of evolution, we would not have seen the Galton theories, we would not have seen the Americans experiment and practice eugenics in the early 20th century, and we wouldn't have seen the Nazi party copy the American way. That, specifically, is what I am referring to with my 'apology'.
                        
                        If you want to go further back in history, to discuss the possible existance of eugenics in in our world pre-Galton, then you can go all the way back to ancient Greece and ancient Rome.
                        
                        Either Galton was the pioneer of eugenics, post-slave trade, or Plato was. You can't have it both ways. 
                        
                        Referring to 'eugenics' prior to the Galton papers would be like claiming that the theory of evolution had been devised two hundred years before Darwin, which it hadn't.

                           Of course, selective breeding is known as 'positive eugenics' which I can assure you is much more pleasant than the sinister 'negative eugenics' being discretely employed in the 21st century.

                     I actually see eugenics as having absolutely zero to do with the slave trade.
                     
                     The term 'eugenics' was coined by Sir Francis Galton, the cousin of Charles Darwin, in the 1870's (possibly even later).
                     
                     I can see absolutely no link between the theories and practice of eugenics and the use of slaves for profit, they are two entirely different entities and are entirely unrelated.
                     
                     I can give you examples of eugenics, sure. But it had very little to do with the transatlantic movement of slaves, the movement came much later.
                     
                     The forced sterilization of those with mental health problems in Canada and the US, THAT is eugenics. The fluoridization of water in low income areas of the UK and the US, to stop the poor from breeding, THAT is 21st century eugenics.
                     
                     The selective euthanasia of the physically and mentally disabled in Nazi Germany, THAT was eugenics. There is absolutely no link between the slave period and eugenics. Period.

                           You are right of course, it is effectively what eugenics stands for, being selective.
                           
                           But, Darwin was the one who said that civilization was thwarting  natural selection. In other words, we aren't letting mother nature pick off the weak.
                           
                           That is, more specifically, the basis upon which the word 'Eugenics' was created (by Galton).
                           
                           It has almost exclusively been related to one thing... resources. Hitler thought that physically or mentally incapable people were expensive and a drain on society.
                           
                           Galton believed that the poor should be given no assistance, no healthcare, and that they should be discouraged from breeding.
                           
                           The most disturbing thing about Galtons philosophy, one which was supported by a young Churchill, was his belief that those whom were poor were intellectually inferior.
                           
                           That was, of course, before the days of intelligience tests. The IQ test followed in the early 20th century, and that then formed a basis upon which people were 'selected'. The obvious flaw being that an IQ test can only measure three of the seven forms of intelligience.

Anyho, the info I get there is very unsure, the show itself says that slavery in the UK has been banned since april 2010 but it is pointed out that the European Convention on Human Rights prohibits slavery in all countries including the UK since the 3rd of September 1953, not massively long ago as the oldest date I can find.
                  
                  The thing that was pointed out is that a persons status as a slave was never recognised by local laws in the first place. A slave would never, legally speaking been seen as a slave in the first instance, so no ban on owning one. Oddly it is well reported that slavery is alive and well in cities like our good old London town
                  
                  edit - was going to give you the QI link and forgot

                     Slavery was declared illegal in England (and, subsequently therefore the United Kingdom when that formed) under the doctrine of the Somersett's Case in 1772. It was then made illegal in the rest of the British Empire under the Slave Trade Act 1807 (which prevented people obtaining new slaves) and the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 (which freed the last slaves in the British empire) and latter antislavery acts.
                     
                     England was the first nation in the world to declare slavery illegal.

            The history of British slavery is actually really interesting, it was pretty much stamped out in the 1100's, being viewed as distasteful and immoral, not to mention economically unviable.
            
            Slavery began to re-appear during colonial times, but for the most part it was done under the table, and not so much in British ports as in colonial British territories, where the slave trade was practiced much more freely.
            
            Though, this does not cover things such as the orphan workhouses etc, which were in essence another form of slavery.

   Clearly you are using this information to build a hub... so please ensure that you include this in the correct context.
   
   For Kiwis there are two things that have had a negative effect on the modern society here.
   
   1) The NZ Maori were involved in a treaty with the British in the 1840s ... this allowed Britain to colonize and Rape NZs resources.  Fifteen years ago the Maoris claimed all the land back from the Crown and were legally beaten in their ridiculous treaty claims, that also included air space, radio waves and everything else that was not invented or subject to the 1840 treaty. They appealed again and were thrown out again by our NZ legal system. So they took their claim to the British Privy Council and the English judges overturned the NZ High Court decisions and allocated the ability to sue the NZ Government for multi-Billion dollar claims.  The treaty was with the British and they dealt it back to the NZ Public in a way that ensured absolutely all culpability for the original terms of the treaty that lay with Britain, was flicked along with the settlement billions onto the NZ European population, while they slipped out the back door and pulled the 'CommonWeath' card!
   Today our country is severely affected by those rulings and Britain got off with ALL the resources for 150 years!
   Factually, the British should have supported the NZ Government and not reneged on payment on this deal... It Broke the Country's back and the money to settle should have come from England.. perhaps from the proceeds of the forests and produce that were stripped over the preceding 150 years.  Of course, this same process was used elsewhere in the world also...
   
   2) Even Worse than this is an absolute shocker!!

         I am sure Britain refined, as the most powerful nation, the concept of central banking beyond what any one else had done. Even Wikipedia says that the foundation of the modern central bank was the Bank of England. The primary reason the colonies revolted was the Bank of England, yet we have been taken over by the central bank cartel anyway!

         BTW, Marx wanted a central bank that was beholden to the communist party. That is not what we have. We have a central bank beholden to the banksters and they make the profit, not the communist party.

   While I agree eugenics was a dangerous avenue of scientific endeavour it wasn't the originators who have turned the science on the general population.
   
   That policy is one embraced by the Bilderbergs of this world who seek massive population decreases in order to keep control. Flouride in water being one tactic, others include chemical aerial spraying of aluminum, bromide and other toxic substances including biological ones into the atmosphere; unnecessary vaccination programs (funded massively by the Bill Gates Foundation) on the back of media driven scares such as bird flu; genetically modified food promoted by NWO companies such as Monsanto.

If you check the history, and even modern day success of the majority of ex-British colonial states you will find some fantastic sub cultures.
    
    The same applies to French, Portugese and Spanish colonies (All of which were also vast). There were bad people in some places, but for the most part they were successful.
