"Dr. John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy - better known as the 'science czar' - has been a longtime prophet of environmental catastrophes. Never discouraged but never right," Denver Post columnist David Harsanyi writes. "And thanks to resourceful bloggers, you can read excerpts from a hard-to-find book co-authored by Holdren in the late 1970s, called 'Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment,' online. In it, you will find the czar wading into some unpleasant talk about mass sterilizations and abortions.
"It's not surprising. Holdren spent the '70s boogying down to the vibes of an imaginary population catastrophe and global cooling. He also participated in the famous wager between scientist Paul Ehrlich, the now-discredited 'Population Bomb' theorist (and co-author of 'Ecoscience'), and economist Julian Simon, who believed human ingenuity would overcome demand...He lost the bet on all counts.
"Then again, it's one thing to be a bumbling soothsayer but quite another to underestimate the resourcefulness of mankind enough to ponder how 'population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution,' as Holdren did in 'Ecoscience' in 1977.
"The book, in fact, is sprinkled with comparable statements that passively discuss how coercive population control methods might rescue the world from ... well, humans.
"When I called Holdren's office, I was told that the czar 'does not now and never has been an advocate of compulsory abortions or other repressive measures to limit fertility.'
"If that is so, I wondered, why is his name on a textbook that brought up such policy? Did he not write that part? Did he change his mind? Was it theoretical? No straightforward answer was forthcoming."

Erlich is cited as a source for Negative Population Growth plan to reduce the Human Global Population by 80% in fifty years. This will be Genocide.
With all these czars Obama is appointing, he’s going to have to come up with a Czar czar.
Obama is the Czar of his Czars.
Somebody needs to challenge the whole notion of Czars, and get these unaccountable whack jobs out of policy positions.
“No straightforward answer was forthcoming”
Well, then, that won’t be a problem, since we won’t have any of those unpleasant Senate confirmation hearings to deal with.
Somebody needs to challenge the whole notion of Czars, and get these unaccountable whack jobs out of policy positions.

It’s been mentioned before...get enough czars, you don’t need a Congress.
No doubt somebody’s ultimate plan.
