Holdren: Science Fiction Czar?

While perhaps more science fiction, than science fact, if you look at some broad themes in the thinking of Obama's science czar, Dr. John Holdren, they do fit nicely into the Obama administration. Abortion and eugenics combined with national health care? Well, all you need is euthanasia to really drive down costs. And undermine the family because the government is going to provide for everyone cradle to grave. What lovely thoughts. But then, people did vote for change!

From David Harsayi's column today:

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.

Thanks to resourceful bloggers, you can read excerpts online from a hard-to-find book co-authored by Holdren in the late 1970s called "Ecoscience: Population, Resources, and Environment."

"As it was in the days of Noah".

Or more recently, (sorry, Mr. Godwin) the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.

They were pretty big on forced euthanasia and the government replacing the nuclear family as primary providers and caretakers... all of course, "for the children".

And with the Boomers rapidly reaching an age where they will be more likely classed as "useless eaters"... you can bet that paring down the costs of health care and Social Security will come in terms of another fine piece of Science Fiction:

Logan's Run.

Indeed, who will be on Dr. holden's list to liquidate first - who will be the new century's "Lebensunwertes", or "unworthy of living"?

Betcha if the godless commie statists have their way, it will be the God-fearing Christians and patriots who will be the first to be frog-marched off to the extermination centres.
