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.

Science czar Holdren prescribed a less prosperous future for the U.S.
In 2007, John Holdren, the Obama administration's science czar, said in an interview that the United States will have to be less prosperous in the future so the available wealth can be spread more evenly.
HOLDREN: There has been a strain of what many people call “US exceptionalism” in the United States, the notion that the United States is so big, so important, so powerful, so technologically advanced that it can and should do what it wants. I think this strain is misguided.
Q: Will Americans need to reduce their living standards? Is that politically viable, or will technology [unintelligible] do it?
H: I think ultimately that the rate of growth of material consumption is going to have to come down, and there’s going to have to be a degree of redistribution of how much we consume, in terms of energy and material resources, in order to leave room for people who are poor to become more prosperous.

In White House, global cooling is warming, and liberal fascism is on the march
Not content with frenzied spending, President-for-the-time-being Barack Obama is now preparing to extend panicky policy-making to other realms.
His science advisor, John Holdren, has told the Associated Press that officials regard global warming as so dire that they are talking about engineering the climate. One possible approach: shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays. Holdren said that such an experimental measure would be used only as a last resort.
Bear in mind that, the AP reports, twice in a half-hour interview, Holdren compared global warming to being "in a car with bad brakes driving toward a cliff in the fog."
If Holdren is to decide when the last resort must be unleashed, the decision may already have been made.
In light of the disastrous consequences of previous government social engineering projects, such as subprime mortgages, one shudders to think of the potential results of atmospheric engineering.
Unintended consequences, of course, do not figure in public discussion of panic-driven presidential actions or proposals. That's why panicky policy making is so much in favor.
The question is especially pertinent because the administration's feverish and costly spending on bailouts and stimulus plans has failed to produce discernible signs of economic recovery.
Moreover, the world's average temperature has been falling, not rising, for the last seven years. If the administration can claim that global warming is dire at a time when it actually is vanishing, who is to say what would trigger deliberate high-level pollution as a remedy?
Obama's apparent vision of an American society in which government intrudes more and more on individual and corporate decision-making relies on a series of building blocks.
Global warming is vital. If the propagandists can persuade the public that it is real, and human life itself is at stake, there is no limit to the extent of government inroads that might be tolerated.
Obama's administration already has gained control of major banks, car manufacturers General Motors and Chrysler, and insurance companies. The fairy tale of global warming could lead to government control of the energy industry and pave the way to extensive control of other industries.

Science advisor favors planetary government
"When Barack Obama nominated John P. Holdren as his Science Adviser last December 20, the president-elect stated "promoting science isn’t just about providing resources" but "ensuring that facts and evidence are never twisted or obscured by politics or ideology."
In nominating John Holdren, his words could scarcely have taken a more Orwellian ring. Some critics have noted Holdren's penchant for making apocalyptic predictions that never come to pass, and categorizing all criticism of his alarmist views as not only wrong but dangerous.
What none has yet noted is that Holdren is a globalist who has endorsed "surrender of sovereignty" to "a comprehensive Planetary Regime" that would control all the world's resources, direct global redistribution of wealth, oversee the "de-development" of the West, control a World Army and taxation regime, and enforce world population limits.
He has castigated the United States as "the meanest of wealthy countries," written a justification of compulsory abortion for American women, advocated drastically lowering the U.S. standard of living, and left the door open to trying global warming "deniers" for crimes against humanity. Such is Barack Obama's idea of a clear-headed adviser on matters of scientific policy."
