"Some of America's leading billionaires have met secretly to consider how their wealth could be used to slow the growth of the world's population...

A consensus emerged that they would back a strategy in which population growth would be tackled as a potentially disastrous environmental, social and industrial threat.

This meeting simply reaffirms their committment to the elitist eugenics policies of their predecessors.
