I remember reading this in a paramilitary publication back in the early 90's. It was speculation, or a "conspiracy theory", but the article did make some interesting hypothesisessses. But I believe that this primarily gets it's strenght from peoples distrust of governments.
Historically, there have been other periods of "cleansing". Big ones like the biblical flood and the ice age, and smaller ones like the bubonic plague. I don't think that mankind will be wiped out completely, but I think the numbers will be reduced to a more manageable size.
Those who survive the cleansing will have developed superior technology and will live a utopian life under a giant polymer bubble.
