Suffolk U. Professor* Claims U.S. Plans to Sterilize "Women of the Entire World" by Winfield Myers American Thinker December 3, 2013 http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2013/12/_suffolk_u_professor_claims_us_plans_to_sterilize_women_of_the_entire_world.html Print Send RSS Share [N.B.: This version differs slightly from the American Thinker text.] Munir Akash,* a Syrian-born visiting professor in the department of world languages and cultural studies at Suffolk University in Boston, claimed in a recent Arabic-language interview with Lebanon's ANB TV that the U.S. government has a secret plan to sterilize women in thirteen Third World countries and even in "the entire world." This marks yet another bizarre assertion made by Akash, who is successfully bringing the Middle East's stultifying culture of conspiracy theories to America. Akash began his October 17, 2013 anti-American invective, made available by MEMRI, by blaming former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger for hatching the sterilization scheme: In 1974, Henry Kissinger proposed a plan to President Ford. . . . "We can't annihilate Communism, but we can annihilate the Communists. How? The more people there are in the world, the more Communists there are. So let us tackle the roots of the problem -- if we kill the poor, there will be no Communists." Akash went on to explain that the plan includes sterilizing women of 13 countries, including Egypt and Turkey. He also claimed that the plot included sterilization of men, too. Such claims trump even those of the man he says devised them: John P. Holdren. The controversial Harvard scientist, who currently holds several posts in the Obama White House, including Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, has a decades-long record as an alarmist on issues ranging from overpopulation to global warming. But the sterilization scheme Akash falsely attributes to him isn't bad science, but science fiction: This man has a plan to sterilize not just the women of 13 countries, but the women of the entire world.... he wants to plant a chip under the skin of men and women to control their fertility. Akash didn't explain what America would gain by wiping mankind (including Americans) off the map, but he's written a book that explains this. A glowing review by the Holocaust-denying Abdullah Mohammad Sindi, a retired Saudi-born professor of international relations in California, summarizes the book's thesis. In America and Genocide: Right of Sacrificing the Other (Beirut, 2002), Akash tells how the Pilgrims (whom he anachronistically calls "WASPs") turned on and "savagely stung Native Americans." Underlying Akash's anti-Americanism is a more sinister ideology: anti-Semitism. In his telling, the supposed genocide of Native Americans by colonists bent on seizing their land is analogous to the ancient Hebrews' "gruesome colonization of Canaan" and the "current savage colonization of Arab Palestine since 1948 by Western Zionist Jews." Akash's oeuvre includes another book with a similar theme, The Talmud of Uncle Sam (Beirut, 2004). One further quotation reveals his obsession with the Jewish people: the idea of America . . . was inspired from the Jewish stories and the Israeli tales found in the Torah and Talmud and Kabala. . . . the idea of assembling the Jews in Palestine and establishing an Israeli State and replacing one culture and one people by another culture and people was but one of the constituents of the idea of America. The Jews of both ancient and modern Israel are presented as genocidal; the Pilgrims and the nation they helped found are the Jews' genocidal heirs. This racist historiography emanates naturally from the same author who thinks the U.S. government plans to kill off the entire human species. Akash is a crank conspiracy monger and charlatan who should have no place in American higher education. But, by hiring him, Suffolk University has given its imprimatur to Akash's work and entrusted its students to his mercies, something that brings shame on their institution.
