Scientology Freedom Medal winner Minister Tony Muhammad, citing National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200) says, "They want to cull the population of our planet by two billion people." NSSM 200 does not say that.

Have you ever researched the National Security Study Memorandum 200? Go and look it up. They want to cull the population of our planet by two billion people. #Farrakhan #WarningToTrump

I took Minister Tony Muhammad's advice and looked up National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200). It is available on the web at:
http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/Pcaab500.pdf
NSSM 200 does not say, indicate or imply that "they" want to "
cull the population of our planet of 2 billion people." The use of the word "cull" is extremely (if not deliberately) misleading, and implies that "they" want to reduce the
present world population by 2 billion people -- i.e., that "they" want to kill 2 billion
existing people. NSSM 200 doesn't say that.
NSSM 200, which was issued in 1974 and has since been declasified, addressed then furture population growth. That is, it advised reduced population
growth, and not reducing the then
existing world population or killing people. Thus, for example, NSSM 200 stated in 1974 at pages 10 to 11, paragraph 29:
* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *
29. While specific goals in this area are difficult to state, our aim should be for the world to achieve a replacement level of fertility, (a two- child family on the average), by about the year. This will require the present 2 percent growth rate to decline to 1.7 percent within a decade and to 1.1 percent by 2000 compared to the U.N medium projection, this goal would result in 500 million fewer people in 2000 and about 3 billion fewer in 2050. Attainment of this goal will require greatly intensified population programs. A basis for developing national population growth control targets to achieve this world target is contained in the World Population Plan of Action.
* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * *
The fact that NSSM 200 did not call for "culling" the existing population, and addressesd only then future population growth, is further demonstrated by the statement at page 9, paragraph 28:
* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *
28. World policy and programs in the population field should incorporate two major objectives:
(a) actions to accommodate continued population growth up to 6 billions by the mid-21st century without massive starvation or total frustration of developmental hopes; and
(b) actions to keep the ultimate level as close as possible to 8 billions rather than permitting it to reach 10 billions, 13 billions, or more.
* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * *
In short, Scientology Freedom Medal winner Nation of Islam Tony Muhammad misrpesents, or most most charitably has mistread, National Security Study Memorandum 200, and has done so in a way that only serves to promote conspiracy theories and irrational fear.
