Regarding the statement: ""John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, 'has proposed forcing abortions and putting sterilants in the drinking water to control population.'" -- Glenn Beck on Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 in his TV program" and the point that this was a lie by Beck.

Please read the book "Ecoscience" co authored by Holdren, and Paul and Anne Ehritich, published in 1977.

In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977, the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that:

• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation's drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who "contribute to social deterioration" (i.e. undesirables) "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility" -- in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational "Planetary Regime" should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans' lives -- using an armed international police force.

This may sound so bizzare as to not be believable that someone could have written it in 1977. The proof is in the pudding..Read the book.
