White House Science Czar Says He Would Use ‘Free Market’ to ‘De-Develop the United States’
CNS News ^ | September 16, 2010 | Nicholas Ballasy

In a video interview this week, White House Office of Science and Technology Director John P. Holdren told CNSNews.com that he would use the “free market economy” to implement the “massive campaign” he advocated along with Population Bomb author Paul Ehrlich to “de-develop the United States.”

In his role as President Barack Obama’s top science and technology adviser, Holdren deals with issues ranging from global warming to health care.

“A massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environment in North America and to de-develop the United States,” Holdren wrote along with Paul and Anne H. Ehrlich in the “recommendations” concluding their 1973 book Human Ecology: Problems and Solutions.

Can you imagine, just try to imagine the quantity and volume of insanity that the next president will have to undo to get this country back on a patriotic road . . .

We're still suffering greatly from the aftermath of the Clintooon years, and now we'll have to basically upturn our society to repair the damage from the two grifters living in our White House. My God, we're in trouble.

OK, Mr. Holdren, send me a picture of your log cabin sans electric service, your bicycle you use for your primary mode of transportation, provide proof you have no cell phone, do not fly in any air craft, have no investments in any industrial companies, and then we can talk.

It is amazing how the enemies of the United States and our civilization can speak so openly now of their goals, whether they be Islamic Jihadis in our midst, Marxists or proto-Nazis.

And even worse, many of these people are in our Government or maintained by the Government.

simply shocking.

Many of the practices inadequately supporting today’s population of 5.5 billion people are unsustainable

All 5.5 billion people can be stood up with a square yard of space in the Grand Canyon. Give everyone a house with maybe 4 or 5 to the house, and you couldn't fill up Texas.

To recycle Erlich is incredibly scary since the fool was shown to be an idiot back 20 or 30 years ago.

Is there no end to the radical communists in this illegal administration?

The only way a free market would decide to "de-develop" the U.S. would be after a massive (think cataclysmic scale) brain washing campaign. .... I guess you couldn't really call it a “free” market after that, could you?

A massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environment in North America and to de-develop the United States,” Holdren wrote

They usually aren't this open with their agenda. But in a nutshell, this is why the left fights domestic energy development, because expensive energy is their lever towards "de-development" - if commutes by car become unaffordable, people will have to move back into the cities, and the exurbs can then be bulldozed.

So to all of the liberals that have moved out into the suburbs from the city, take note - your political fellow-travellers on the far left want to send you right back from where you came.

If you tried to de-develop a neighboring country, it would be called a war. In this case, the illegal czar is at war with us. Where is the Justice Department... oh, wait... never mind.

White House Science Czar Says He Would Use MANIPULATE ‘Free Market’ to ‘De-Develop the United States’

Seems everything already going to play Mr. "Science" Czar. Does anyone see the irony in his stated goal? By a science czar?

Yes Holdren and a lot of the czars are a bunch of sickies. We need a day of reckoning for them in the not to near future.

The 'free' market has not existed for decades.

When the government attempts to control nearly every aspect of the economy, it is anything but free nor does it resemble authentic capitalism.

Holdren is a Neo-Eco-Luddite Collectivist Hypocrite piece of Inhuman Trash.

Think that sums him up quite nicely.

And how, exactly, would this help the poor and others in need? What about the Children? The elderly?

Obviously, the obama Regime hates the poor, children and the elderly, the most defenseless among us.

The first thing we need to do is “de-develop” them with extreme prejudice.

Well said.

I second that.

To people like Holdren, "de-develop" means eliminate suburban sprawl and push everyone back into massive urban centers.

People like Holdren believe that families who own single-family homes are using "more than their fair share" of the surface footprint, and would prefer to see many families stacked into the same square footage.
