More on John Holdren
July 15th, 2009 - Written by Joey
Michelle Malkin has a great follow-up on the creepy ‘Science Czar’, John Holdren. PLEASE read it. Our news media isn’t even mentioning the book he co-authored–Ecoscience–which suggests forced abortions, making single mothers give up their children, forced sterilization, and placing birth control in the nation’s drinking water as ways to control overpopulation. (I have the book on order from Amazon, btw.)
Malkin contrasts the media’s disinterest (or denial) in Holdren’s unhealthy obsession with population control to their disgust in Obama’s choice for head of The National Institutes of Health, Dr. Francis S. Collins. The reason for their pillow biting? Dr. Collins is a Christian, and wrote a book about his conversion.
The New York Times recently warned its readers about a wacky scientist in the Obama administration. But the fish wrap of record let the real nut job off the hook.
Reporting last week on the president’s choice to head the National Institutes of Health, Times writer Gardiner Harris noted that praise for Dr. Francis S. Collins “was not universal or entirely enthusiastic.” The geneticist is causing “unease,” according to the Times, because of his “his very public embrace of religion.” Stomachs are apparently churning over a book Collins wrote describing his conversion to Christianity.
It’s called – gasp! – “The Language of God.” Harris intoned: “Religion and genetic research have long had a fraught relationship, and some in the field complain about what they see as Dr. Collins’s evangelism.”
And…that’s it. Yes, the mere profession of Collins’s faith is enough to warrant red flags and ominous declamations. A quarter of all Americans identify themselves as evangelical Christians and “publicly embrace their religion.” But to the Times, Collins’ open affiliation with 60 million Americans believers in Christ is headline news.
The rationality police in the newsroom have not, however, seen fit to print the rantings of a radical secular evangelist now serving as the White House “science czar.” John Holdren, Obama’s director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, co-authored the innocuously-titled “Ecoscience” in the 1970s with population control extremists Paul and Anne Ehrlich.
My husband and I were talking about how in the world we as a nation can escape the tyranny that awaits us, and he made a great point.
“If the media would do its job and report on the real things that are affecting and will affect us, the American people would wake up.”
Don’t hold your breath. I stopped holding mine last year during the POTUS election coverage.

This is an example of the ABC rule of political correctness:
