Czars were ruthless autocrats of former imperial Russia. President Barack Obama has appointed some 34 czars to push his policies in ”remaking” America. These czars are unelected operatives at to top of Obama’s progressive government agendas. Previous presidents have appointed czar-like operatives, but not in the numbers or pernicious partisan patterns of the Obama administration.
John Holdren is Obama’s recently-appointed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology – a.k.a., the United States' Science Czar. Holdren is one of the most widely published and tenured scientists in the issues of climate change. He is also known for his open antipathy for skeptics of global warming and republicans.
John Holdren is yet another Obama baby-boomer radical appointment. Holdren
had early association with the Pugwash Conference, a leftist think tank established in 1955 that was critical of U.S. cold war policies and apologetic on Soviet aggression. In 1977, Holdren co-authored the book “Ecoscience” with his close colleagues Paul Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich. This controversial book proposes central government policies for population control to mitigate environmental impacts. In 1968, Paul Ehrlich wrote a bestseller titled “The Population Bomb.” Ehrlich’s doomsday vision declared: “The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s and 1980s, hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.” As with most environmentalist predictions, time has proven Ehrlich to be flamboyantly and profoundly wrong.

Here are some of the radical and disturbing theories (with page references) from the “Ecoscience” book by Holdren and Ehrlich promoting human population control for environmental sustainability:
Compulsory abortions would be legal – page 837;
Single mothers should have their babies taken away by the government; or they could be forced to have abortions – page 786;
Mass sterilization of humans by drugs in the water supply is OK as long as it doesn't harm livestock – pages 787 and 788;
The government could control women's reproduction by either sterilizing them or implanting mandatory long-term birth control – page 786 and 787;
The kind of people who cause "social deterioration" can be compelled to have no children – page 838;
Nothing is wrong or illegal about the government dictating family size – page 838;
A "Planetary Regime" should control the global economy and dictate by force the number of children allowed to be born – pages 942 and 943;
We will need to surrender national sovereignty to an armed international police force – page 917;
Pro-family and pro-birth attitudes are caused by ethnic chauvinism – page 749;
As of 1977, we are facing a global overpopulation catastrophe that must be resolved at all costs by the year 2000 – page 944.

"The government could control women's reproduction by either sterilizing them or implanting mandatory long-term birth control – page 786 and 787"
You missed his AMAZINGLY sexist follow-up about how it would be easier to implement such a program against women, because men would be more resistant. Notice: more resistant; ie. it's better to target women because they will be more docile, not because it's easier medically to sterilize a woman than a man.
This guy makes me sick.
Please demonstrate where Dr. Holdren has ever actually advocated what you are accusing him of, rather than simply describing them.
