Czar Part 1- John Holdren

For the first czar let's look at John Holdren. John Holdren is the advisor to the President for science and technology, he is the Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and he is the Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. So just why should people be uncomfortable with John Holdren being an advisor to the president? Well many of his ideas are weird, and scary and wrong. In his book Ecoscience written with Paul R. Ehrlich, Anne H. Ehrlich, and W.H. Freeman discusses some ideas that most people would never think about. Some of these ideas are

•  That women could and should be forced to have abortions, if they want to or not.
• He advocates putting drugs in the water that will make people unable to have children.
•  Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies taken from them against their will and given to other couples to raise.
• Creation of a transnational "Planetary Regime" that would assume control of the global economy and dictate the details of Americans' lives and would have an armed international police force to to enforce this.  If you click on the second source the page has pictures of sections of the book in question. 
• John Holdren advocates for a de-development of the United States and other Western countries in order to conserve energy and facilitate growth in underdeveloped countries

In 1984 John Holdren worked for the editorial board of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.  This publications personnel were accused of giving information to the Soviet Union that helped them create their first atomic bomb.  A man who opposed the Reagan Administration because their military build up would anger the Russians, a man who is an anti-nuclear activist but worked for the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.

John Holdren is a man with not just weird, strange, and wrong ideas about what to do about population but is extremely against the free market, capitalistic economy we have in this country, the system that made this country what it is.  Whatever happened to the ideas of personal freedom and choice that for so many years have been one of the great things about this country?  And now there are people, people who advise the president that don't just think we need to have population control but in such ways as putting drugs in the drinking water.  Maybe population control is needed, but not is such a sneaky and underhanded way.
