    A part of the PBS American Experience series, The Eugenics Crusade tells the story of largely unknown campaign to breed a better American race, and can be viewed online. It traces the rise of the movement, which had a great deal of influence on German Nazi policies before and during World War II. This is not a theory, but it was a conspiracy, so I'll put it here. It could also be a fit in the history of science sections.

    We do it with animals and we do it with plants. Is this evil or common sense? Was it maybe a good idea, but the Nazis went too far with it? Is it scary or does it offer hope for a better future?

    I was unable to see the video because it is not available in the D.R. There is always the idea of selective breeding to improve the herd and you get into purebreds which sometimes are full of genetic problems. Some purebred dogs go blind as they get older others have back problems. So this type of inbreeding has many problems Even the Royal family suffered from to much inbreeding. Every time science gets involved with mankind improvement it scares me. Especially when the elites are the ones that paying the scientist. When you have people literately experiment on others because you think you are better. Like the medical studies [syphilis] used on blacks in the US they would have trouble doing that if they were white. Eugenics is a fancy way of saying I am better than you so lets have more of me and we will get rid of you.
    Here is proof that we need all people my wife, which I would say by my standards is poorly educated. One day she said it would rain I looked out side not a cloud in the sky and then checked the weather on the internet no sign of rain. Then I checked the satellite photos of the Caribbean not a cloud in sight. I told her there is no chance of rain but she said again it will rain to-day. Later that day we had a very heavy rain and I now know we need people who we think are inferior just might be the smart ones.

    They let you view all of the other conspiracy stuff but not something dealing with a conspiracy based on historical fact? Hitler got many of his ideas and much of his justification from American eugenicists.

    @Martin Alonzo , you say your wife is poorly educated. But there is a HUGE difference in not having learned and not being able to learn. I suspect that she is a very smart lady who just has not had what you consider a formal (Good) education. I expect that she is quite knowledgeable in things that you have absolutely no knowledge of.

    About Eugenics: I didn't see all the video because it is so long. Maybe I'll watch it later.

    I suppose it won't make me any friends here but I am not totally against Eugenics. I personally know a lady who was mentally impaired, not to the point that she couldn't function but could only do things that didn't call for a lot of intelligence. She married a man who was like her. They had a daughter who was the same. The daughter had two daughters who were the same. One of them was taken away temporarily for "Failure to thrive" because her mother did not (or could not) care for her properly. The daughters had children who were the same. So it goes from generation to generation. Most of them become dependent on welfare.

    I also knew a man who was mentally impaired. He was dependent on welfare. He wanted to marry someone like him. The welfare people told him that to get permission to marry, he or she would have to be made infertile. They agreed , married and lived happily ever after. I have no problem with that. That was back when the welfare people could do that.

    Not certain, but I suspect a socks proxy or VPN would solve that problem. I know those in Europe are blocked from Netflix (and similar crapola), but circumvent it via proxies and VPNs (https://thevpn.guru/get-american-netflix-abroad-outside-us/). Yep, looks like the same scenario for PBS (https://thevpn.guru/unblock-pbs-outside-us/). If you want, I will research it for you.

    Produced by PBS, you can be sure that this isn't a right-wing tirade, but it is a very good historical account of America's flirtation with eugenics, which resulted in the Pro-Choice Movement and the Holocaust.

    This is an excellent history and a warning about the dangers of allowing scientists and the elite to have free reign over the lives of human beings.

    What creates a culture? I think a lot of the problems with humans stems from upbringing rather than genetic influence.
    In Western cultures, people are free to marry/mate with whoever they wish. Other cultures choose their partners based on family ties. However, this doesn't make for a better society.
    In order to create a more civilised society, we need strict rules with decency and respect for others. Human attitude towards animals is something I find very concerning. People are free to hunt and kill as many wild animals as they wish. It should only be permitted to kill animals for food, not for pleasure.

    And for protection, for example in the cause of raging pit bulls and/or cougars (mountain lions, for clarification).

    John, John, John... The other type are pretty dangerous as well. They love to torture and play with their prey.

    But yeah, can't live with 'em, can't kill 'em.

    Sanger, one of the main Eugenicists advocating abortions, thought they would be concentrated among the dark-skinned peoples, who she referred to as "mud people". Planned Parenthood has continued her work and America seems to support it. As has been mentioned already here, many of Hitler's ideas came from the American eugenicists.

    Well, we are handing control of everything, human, animal, plant...to the WHO which will get rid of what they want paid for by the WEF.
    Like others have said, who controls what is defined as better?
