Americas new director of science and technology policy, January 29, 2010
This review is from: Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment (Paperback)
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 this 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. [...]

EVIL, EVIL, EVIL!, December 8, 2009
This review is from: Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment (Paperback)
This is from a World Net Daily article written by Jerome S. Corsi,
Holdren co-authored with Malthusian population alarmist Paul R. Ehrlich and Ehrlich's wife, Anne. The authors argued involuntary birth-control measures, including forced sterilization,
may be necessary and morally acceptable under extreme conditions, such as widespread famine brought about by "climate change."
On page 786, the authors wrote that one way to discourage illegitimate childbearing "might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption - especially those born to minors who generally are not capable of caring properly for a child alone."
Alternatively, the authors suggested unwed mothers might place their babies up for adoption, writing: "If a single mother really wished to keep her baby, she might be obliged to go through adoption proceedings and demonstrate her ability to support and care for it."
While observing that government-imposed coercive measures should be considered "only if milder measures fail completely," the authors acknowledged extreme ecological situations could justify governmental intervention with coercive population control measures.
"It would even be possible to require pregnant single women to marry or have abortions, perhaps as an alternative to placement for adoption, depending on the society," they write.
The authors' wish to control births to unwed and teenage mothers appears to derive from their concern that overpopulation leads to "general social deterioration."
For instance, on page 838, they wrote the following: "If some individuals contribute to general social deterioration by overproducing children, and if the need is compelling, they can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility - just as they can be required to exercise responsibility in their resource-consumption patterns - providing they are not denied equal protection." (Italics in original text.)
Nor do the authors see any constitutional protection for the right to bear children.
"Some people - respected legislators, judges, and lawyers included - have viewed the right to have children as a fundamental and inalienable right," the authors continued on page 838. "Yet neither the Declaration of Independence nor the Constitution mentions a right to reproduce."
In a similar fashion, the authors argued that a right to privacy did not extend to an unlimited right to have children, elaborating on page 838 that, "Where the society has a 'compelling, subordinating interest' in regulating population size, the right of the individual may be curtailed. If society's survival depended on having more children, women could be required to bear children, just as men can constitutionally be required to serve in the armed forces. Similarly, given a crisis caused by overpopulation, reasonably necessary laws to control excessive reproduction could be enacted."
The article goes on. You all get the point. Don't take my word for it, research yourself!!
This stuff is real and they (the Globalists) DO WANT YOU DEAD!

RE: James Sposto, April 9, 2011
This review is from: Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment (Paperback)
Oh really Mr. Sposto? is this just fear mongering? Some of the proposed measures in the book have already been implemented. Not many know that even here in America approximately 40% of Native American women were sterilized without their consent after giving birth in the 1970's. Also an unknown number of black women. Of course this won't be taught in schools anytime soon. The line of thought of people like John. P. Holdren is no different than the much admired George Bernard Shaw winner of an Oscar and a Nobel prize who supported the killing of the unproductive and was a huge advocate for the creation of the "humane" gas like Zyklon-B. His interviews can be found on youtube. It is doctors and intellectuals like Holdren and Ehlrich that would have marched right on with Hitler.
Compulsory sterilizations is also in full force right now in other countries like Uzbekistan
