WARNING: THIS POST MAY CAUSE DISTURBING MENTAL IMAGES

As if you needed a new reason to be resistant to the idea of the president of the United States appointing unconstitutional czars to his administration, we now have this. Science czar John Holdren co-authored a book in 1977 called, 'ECOSCIENCE: Population, Resources, Enviornment'.

He's obviously 'green-friendly' so what did he say that's so bad? ZombieTime tells us...
These ideas (among many other equally horrifying recommendations) were put forth by John Holdren, whom Barack Obama has recently appointed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology -- informally known as the United States' Science Czar. In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977, the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that:

• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation's drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who "contribute to social deterioration" (i.e. undesirables) "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility" -- in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational "Planetary Regime" should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans' lives -- using an armed international police force.
Isn't that nice?

ZOMBIETIME has done some exhaustive analysis on Holdren's writings. He even posts Holdren's defense of his writings some 32 years after he wrote them (Zombie still shreds him).

One Zombie perspective I do take issue with is his personal rationale for being pro-choice. He's pro-choice but doesn't believe in abortion while taking exception to the notion that government should do the choosing. Zombie, with all due respect, making abortion an issue of choice to begin with helped inch us closer to the government doing it.

I'm just sayin'..

Otherwise, excellent work.
