(CNSNews.com) – John P. Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, advocated having the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) force radio and television stations to surrender free time for advertisements calling attention to what he called “the population-resource-environment crisis.”

He cited, as examples of the type of advertising he was talking about, ads produced by Planned Parenthood, the Sierra Club, and Zero Population Growth (ZPG).

Holdren made his argument for using the FCC to advance his vision for population control and environmentalism in the 1977 book, Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment. Holdren co-wrote the book with renowned population-control advocates Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich.

“In the United States a great step could be taken merely by requiring that both radio and television assign some of their commercial time to short public-service ‘spots’ calling attention to the problems of population, resources, and environment,” Holdren, Ehrlich and Ehrlich wrote.

If it were not for immigration (legal and otherwise) the United States would be in negative growth. This is also the same for most European countries. It is why we have the Baby Boomer problem.

all those who are in favor of pop control should take the first step and kill themselves. Then that would show that they are truly committed to the cause;

A special zoo trophy room will need to be built so future generations can study the kooks and weirdos of the Obama administration.

Fixed.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

THEY ARE LUCIFER ADMIRERS? Did you know that Saul Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer?

I am NOT joking. Did you read Hillary Clinton’s thesis?

Let’s see, Hillary wrote her Thesis about Saul Alinsky who dedicated his book to LUCIFER. Does that bother anyone?

From Front Page Magazine, linked below.
“In her alleged autobiography, Living History, Hillary explains the importance her thesis: “My senior year at Wellesley would further test and articulate my beliefs. For my thesis I analyzed the work of a Chicago native and community organizer named Saul Alinsky…I agreed with some of Alinsky’s ideas…but we had a fundamental disagreement. (Alinsky) believed you could change the system only from the outside.

I didn’t.…my decision (to go to law school instead of training as an Alinsky organizer) was an expression of my belief that the system could be changed from within.” This is critical to understanding Hillary’s life plan. Also notable are the many things about Alinsky which did not cause Hillary to have “fundamental disagreement.”

Ehrlich is not "renowned", he's notorious, or at best (from a strict journalistic perspective, rather than the skewed partisan shilling perspective that passes for journalism) controversial.
