Perhaps he's not the John Holdren Obama once knew

Perhaps:

Forced abortions. Mass sterilization. A "Planetary Regime" with the power of life and death over American citizens.

The tyrannical fantasies of a madman? Or merely the opinions of the person now in control of science policy in the United States? Or both?

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.

Impossible, you say? That must be an exaggeration or a hoax. No one in their right mind would say such things.

Yet he did... and no one seems to care.  Certainly not the MSM.

I did some Googling on Mr. Holdren to see if any of this is in any way referenced.  Not here. Nor here. Not over there.  Or even there.

Interesting isn't it that a guy can write the things he written and yet somehow none of this shows up on any MSM radars.

Gosh... I wonder why that is?

Imagine if a conservative President had appointed someone who'd written these things and it surfaced some six months or so after that appointment. The charges of racism and fascism would be flying and rightly so.  But now... silence...

We live in interesting times people.
