Holdren uses free market to get back to stone age

Nearly 40 years ago John Holdren (now “science” advisor to Obama) wrote a book with the infamous Ehrlichs. In the "recommendations" at the end of 1973 book Human Ecology: Problems and Solutions, they said: "A massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environment in North America and to de-develop the United States".

It’s a weird use of the word. But there is no mistaking “de-develop”: to undo development, to go backwards, to get rid of advances…

And it was hardly a juvenile slip of the tongue; 37 years later, all this time passes, and when asked about that passage he acknowledges it’s still on his agenda:

“What we meant by that was stopping the kinds of activities that are destroying the environment and replacing them with activities that would produce both prosperity and environmental quality. Thanks a lot."

CNSNews.com then asked: "And how do you plan on implementing that?"

"Through the free market economy," Holdren said.

Just imagine what twisted, sicko “free market” would freely choose to do some de-developing?

Holdren’s version of freedom is just another grand control scheme: “Let me tell you how to live”. “Free market” has become the false advertising banner of the totalitarians. A market is not free if you have to coerce people or jail them into joining the market.
