Reminder: The Population Control Freak & The Perv tonight on CBS
I reported on Monday that wackjob science czar John Holdren is scheduled to make a second appearance on David Letterman’s late-night CBS show. (He first appeared last spring to stir up global warming hysteria.)
Just a reminder to set your Tivos. It’s still a go, according to the Letterman Show website.
To help The Perv’s writers out, here’s my Top 10 List of nuttiest passages from Holdren’s works (all available at Zombietime and CNS):
10. Planetary control…
“Perhaps those agencies, combined with UNEP and the United Nations population agencies, might eventually be developed into a Planetary Regime—sort of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment. Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable, at least insofar as international implications exist. Thus the Regime could have the power to control pollution not only in the atmosphere and oceans, but also in such freshwater bodies as rivers and lakes that cross international boundaries or that discharge into the oceans. The Regime might also be a logical central agency for regulating all international trade, perhaps including assistance from DCs to LDCs, and including all food on the international market.
The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries’ shares within their regional limits. Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits.”
9. Regulating the number of children…
“Individual rights must be balanced against the power of the government to control human reproduction. Some people—respected legislators, judges, and lawyers included—have viewed the right to have children as a fundamental and inalienable right. Yet neither the Declaration of Independence nor the Constitution mentions a right to reproduce. Nor does the UN Charter describe such a right, although a resolution of the United Nations affirms the “right responsibly to choose” the number and spacing of children (our emphasis). In the United States, individuals have a constitutional right to privacy and it has been held that the right to privacy includes the right to choose whether or not to have children, at least to the extent that a woman has a right to choose not to have children. But the right is not unlimited. Where the society has a “compelling, subordinating interest” in regulating population size, the right of the individual may be curtailed. If society’s survival depended on having more children, women could he required to bear children, just as men can constitutionally be required to serve in the armed forces. Similarly, given a crisis caused by overpopulation, reasonably necessary laws to control excessive reproduction could be enacted.
It is often argued that the right to have children is so personal that the government should not regulate it. In an ideal society, no doubt the state should leave family size and composition solely to the desires of the parents. In today’s world, however, the number of children in a family is a matter of profound public concern. The law regulates other highly personal matters. For example, no one may lawfully have more than one spouse at a time. Why should the law not be able to prevent a person from having more than two children?”
8. Forced abortions…
“Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.”
7. Forced marriage, forced adoptions, and more forced abortions…
“One way to carry out this disapproval might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption—especially those born to minors, who generally are not capable of caring properly for a child alone. If a single mother really wished to keep her baby, she might be obliged to go through adoption proceedings and demonstrate her ability to support and care for it. Adoption proceedings probably should remain more difficult for single people than for married couples, in recognition of the relative difficulty of raising children alone. It would even be possible to require pregnant single women to marry or have abortions, perhaps as an alternative to placement for adoption, depending on the society.”
6. And it could be legal…
“Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.”
5. Involuntary fertility control…
“A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men.
…
The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births.”
4. Not quite human…
“The fetus, given the opportunity to develop properly before birth, and given the essential early socializing experiences and sufficient nourishing food during the crucial early years after birth, will ultimately develop into a human being.”
3. ZEG…“Why should we not strive for zero economic growth (ZEG) as well as zero population growth?”
2. De-development…
“A massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environment in North America and to de-develop the United States…De-development means bringing our economic system (especially patterns of consumption) into line with the realities of ecology and the global resource situation.
…The need for de-development presents our economists with a major challenge They must design a stable, low-consumption economy in which there is a much more equitable distribution of wealth than in the present one. Redistribution of wealth both within and among nations is absolutely essential, if a decent life is to be provided to every human being.”
1. Sterilants in your drinking supply…
“Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.”
Think these passages will come up tonight?
Cue the laugh track…

All Dyslexic maggots untie!
I think we should start exercising population control on those who wish to tear this country down.
I am not pulsating well this morning. I need more caffine. My 2 pulsating mini-maggots kept me up last night.
I want to know by what authority does the Sock Puppet have to not only appoint these so called “Czars” but to knowingly appoint such far out loons to begin with. These individuals have back grounds, where in any sane world, that would prohibit them from being Dog Catchers let alone serving in Government in any capacity. They are in charge and have the power to control all aspects of our life and liberty. This is a blatant circumvention of Congress and the Constitution. Where are and why are our so called representatives not calling for a full blown investigation? What is Congresses gain? What is the lame stream media gain? Why are all of these organizations, with the exception of a few, just going along with this?
Michelle:
“Wackjob” is too complimentary a label for this sad, dangerous, evil – yes, evil, arrogant, opposite-worldview holder.
tivo letterman? ahahahhahahahhahaha
good one Michelle.
I think not.
and don’t forget MM on Hannity tonight
I suggest we decrease the population by one. I would like to have John Holdren demonstrate the sport of sky diving without assistance of a landing device. No parachute.
So a Dyslexic maggot walks into a bra…
Speaking of population control, this is how Massachusetts is preparing for the “swine flu riots“.
Is swine flu going to be the mechanism for imposing a police state? A little over the top would you say? Forced vaccines or else?
I would say we are toeing the edge of the cliff here.
Next week, Van Jones will read the Top 10 List of “Locations for Caucasian Concentration Camps.”
I’ll paint a wall that doesn’t need painting and watch it dry b4 I watch that red herring.
Watch this interview be about bashing Glenn Beck and conservatives.
Hey guys. Wanna see a left-wing dingbat get totally pwned. Watch the expression on lefty dingbat Michelle Goldberg’s face and Megan McArdle totally exposes her hypocritical stupidity.
He’s a prime example of the fact that pieces of paper handed out by a college does not necessarily make one smart or wise.
I knew another “engineer” once who also felt that if it works on paper, then it’ll work in real life. Several times he’d hand me and another technician something he designed and tell us to do it.
It wouldn’t work.
We’d go tell him our findings, and he’d respond by showing us his pages of mathematical calculations and measurements.
We’d show him the non-functional prototype.
Guess who won the arguement?
Only blond haired, blue-eyed children would be allowed to live while all Jews would go to the gas chamber. Yes, I’ve heard of this style of government somewhere before.
Santayana’s Law of Repetitive Consequences: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
How about asking about the REAL purpose behind the Global Warming SCAM?
Thank you for the heads-up. I will continue to not watch tv. Please let me know when and where there is something worth my while to watch, and that is good for the spirit.
Where was this guy when Letterman was Concieved?Hatched? or whatever.
Michelle…watch this vomit-producing debacle? Aw…do I have to?? Really? Can’t you just tell me tomorrow what he said? I want to do my part for the cause, but that is a form of torture. I don’t think Obama would approve.
Did the Average American Voter actually KNOW what she was voting for, or is she just an incredibly uninformed and criminally negligent kind of fool?
My wallpaper is fading. I plan to watch its progress tonight.
Now, THAT I will watch!
Obama just disapproves of doing ‘mean things’ to jihadis, who have already murdered thousands of Americans, in order to gain intel from them regarding their next plot to mass murder more American citizens.
Torturing nasty ‘right wing extremists’ like you is A-okay.
This is way too close to the truth to be funny.
(Quote from above column)
See, the operative & dangerous word in that sentence is ‘we’.
Fascists are so power hungry & narcissistic, that they really do think they can think for us.
Happy,
a lil spit rub on rub off
lol I am getting sleepy darn I missed it
Socky–the lovely, telling thing about your video is how the leftist puts her hands up to partially cover her face when she is forced to answer ‘no’.
I’m for ZPG…
Zero Politician Growth!
Then you would enjoy the movie “Population 436″.
I’ll be watching me tivo’d recording of Beck, and then tune into Hannity.
Not that I ever watch Letterman anyway. I used to watch O’Reilly, but since Beck moved over to FOX, I can watch him instead of “fair and balanced” Bill.
rogue cheddar; lol
We know radical leftists don’t regard the unborn as human (what are they then, giraffes?)—but this clown doesn’t even recognize newborn babies as human????
Oh. My. Gosh.
I’m sure the Letterman producers are scripting this to make critics look stupid.
I can see it now…
Letterman: Are you a crazy, radical that wants to kill off portions of the world’s population?
Audience: [Laughter]
Holdren: Ha ha. Not at all, Dave. I’ve written scores of scientific papers that explore the cause and effects of all sorts of issues. That’s what scientists do – they ask lots of questions and then try to answer them from a scientific approach.
These people, such as Michelle Malklin, that are claiming I’m somehow advocating anything radical are really quite crazy.
Audience: [Laughter]
Letterman: Hee hee. Yeah, we’ve had some of that problem here ourselves. He he.
Audience: [Laughter]
GLOBAL WARMING!! GLOBAL WARMING!!
*oops* I mean climate change!!!
Their idea of deniability.
…which means they then agree, but that they completely abdicated their Contitutional duty to oversee the Executive.
It is rather interesting to see such alarmist presentations come from the WH and Napolitano rather than the CDC.
Huh. DHS knows better about Swine Flu than CDC?
Like thousands of others, I’m a 20-yr victim of NIH/CDC lies and so there’s no treatment or cure for our autoimmune disease. Being classified under Homeland Security really ticks me off..the government health agencies are nine-to-five jobs and they shove it off to Defense? Holdren would slip us (married 56 yrs) poison pills and retroactivelly kill our son w/Downs.
