A Tip of the Toque to Gatordoug at
The Daley Gator.
And I thought Al Gore wask nutters. But apparently, the man that Community Organizer in Chief Obama has picked as his head advisor on science and policy issues is...
well, just scary.
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.
And this is the man who has the ear of the most powerful man on the planet.
Hope.
