The Evolution of Population Control

As Minister of Balance, I speak plainly: throughout history, those in power have sought ways to manage populations deemed by the racist as undesirable. The British Empire, facing poverty, chose deportation, sending thousands to Australia for minor crimes. This strategy removed the poor from sight and colonized new lands, often at the expense of indigenous peoples. Survival itself became criminal for the vulnerable. 

Modern Methods: Gaza’s Containment

Today, Gaza stands as a modern example. Instead of deportation, containment is achieved through blockades and restrictions. Movement, resources, and economic opportunities are tightly controlled. The result is a slow, deliberate reduction of a population, justified by security concerns and reinforced by constant surveillance. 

America’s Adaptation: Structural Marginalization

In America, similar strategies persist under the guise of democracy. Dispossession began with slavery and continued through land theft and segregation. Policies and policing restrict movement and wealth accumulation, while surveillance and narrative control reinforce inequality. The system ensures that marginalized groups remain powerless. 

God condemns rulers who enrich themselves by exploiting the vulnerable. Not suggests. Not cautions. Condemns. The mathematics of empire, the strategies of population control, the careful balance sheets of who deserves resources and who deserves deprivation, all of this collapses before a single question: Did you defend the cause of the poor and needy?

The machinery of oppression grinds on because we allow this Billionaire mindset, because a selected few benefits from it, because dismantling it would require sacrifice not many are willing to take. But Jeremiah’s rebuke stands, woe to those who build wealth through oppression. Woe to those who make people work for nothing. Woe to those whose eyes and hearts are set on dishonest gain rather than justice.

As Minister of Balance, I can report the strategy: dispossess, segregate, surveil, dehumanize, impoverish, disempower. But I cannot escape the judgment that strategy deserves. The plan to reduce the population of the ex-middleclass-poor through which ever mechanism reigns supreme, I’ll tell you this much its stands condemned by a higher arithmetic than empire has ever calculated. ~Balance Due
