As we continue this series on the appointment of czars I need to give you a prerequisite. The information you are about to read is not only alarming but shocking in many instances. It would take volumes to unveil to you all of the information I uncovered in my research. I am only scratching the surface. Feel free to do your own due diligence in verifying this information. I am confident it will lead you to many more paths of concern. We left off in Part 2 with a list of the current czar positions appointed by our President, Barack Obama. Let’s take a look at probably the most alarming to date: our new Science Czar, John P. Holdren. Let’s first look at Mr. Holdren’s extraordinary resume’ and credentials:
According to Wikipedia: Holdren was previously the Teresa and John Heinz Professor of Environmental Policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, director of the Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program at the School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, and Director of the Woods Hole Research Center. He earned his bachelor's degree from MIT in 1965 and a PhD in plasma physics from Stanford University in 1970. He taught at the University of California, Berkeley for more than two decades. His work has focused on global environmental change, energy technologies and policies, nuclear proliferation, and science and technology policy.
Dr. Holdren served as chairman of the board of directors of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) from February 2007 until February 2008. He was the founding chair of the advisory board for Innovations, a quarterly journal about entrepreneurial solutions to global challenges published by MIT Press, and has written and lectured extensively on the topic of climate change. He was unanimously confirmed as Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy on March 20, 2009. He has authored over 20 books, including many on climate change, and countless articles over the last four decades. He has also won numerous honors and awards. In 1969 he advocated (with Paul R. Ehrlich) substantial spending for expansion of nuclear power on the grounds that nuclear plants generate electricity without greenhouse gas emissions.
All of this is very impressive on the surface and regardless of your stance on “Global Warming,” most would consider him as very qualified. So where is the cause for alarm?
As far back as 1969, overpopulation was of major concern and interest to him. Again writing with Paul R. Ehrlich, Holdren claimed that, "if the population control measures are not initiated immediately, and effectively, all the technology man can bring to bear will not fend off the misery to come." In 1973 Holdren encouraged a decline in fertility to well below replacement in the United States, because "210 million now is too many and 280 million in 2040 is likely to be much too many" In 1977 he co-authored (with Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich) Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment, which discussed the possible role of a wide range of solutions to overpopulation, from voluntary family planning at one extreme, to enforced population controls at the other extreme. Here are just a handful of quotes from the book that are alarming:
“Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.”
“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.”
“Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.”
“All the children who are born, beyond what would be required to keep up the population to a desired level, must necessarily perish, unless room be made for them by the death of grown persons.”
Here is a quote from Ben Johnson of Front Page Magazine in an article he wrote in February of this year:
“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.”
It appears by all of these statements that Holdren has a greater concern for the environment than the human race; even suggesting population control as a way to save the environment. Nearly all totalitarian regimes in history implemented population control. Is that what this entire “Global Warming” scare is all about? Without Congressional approval or a vote of the people can this man declare an environmental crisis that requires population control? One of the major areas of debate on the Health Care Reform issue is the rationing of care for the elderly; weighing the costs of medical procedures and treatment against the life expectancy of the patient. That sounds like more population control.
This next statement is an opinionated statement on my part:
“Isn’t that a form of abortion of the elderly? Couple that with abortion of children and you have genocide. Does that concern anyone, it sure does me. God created the heavens and the earth and all creatures in the air, land and sea. He is the giver and taker of life. We can’t control our own stubborn wills and selfish desires let alone control the environment. I believe in Global Climate Change, it’s called WEATHER. It’s going to change whether we do anything about it or not. Attempts to control population growth alone is playing God, let alone trying to control the weather. Maybe these scientists need to spend more time studying why the temperatures on Venus and Mars is rising. Is that proof that there is life on those planets? Who is causing their climate change? Maybe Al Gore has a vacation home there. We don’t have Global Warming, we have Universal Warming and it’s caused by the SUN.”
Take a deep breath, Jeff. …..Sorry, I had to vent for a moment. Join me for the next episode of this ongoing look into the world of czars. I’ve got to go take a blood pressure pill.
