John Holdren who is now a Science Czar co wrote a book calling for Eugenics. The idea that the Earth’s population must be controlled through forced sterilization is an old one. It dates to the Late 19th Early 20th Century Progressive movement. The Progressive movement which today is back with full force, spawned the ideologies of Fascism, Nazism, Communism and Socialism. In politics right now, the Progressives are the most powerful and best organized force.

As you will see below the Progressives have been the driving force behind Eugenics.

What is less well known is that eugenic thought deeply influenced the Progressive Era transformation of the state’s relationship to the American economy. Progressive Era economics, like the regulatory state it helped found, came of age at a time when biological approaches to social and economic reform were at their high-water mark. Reform-minded economists (and other social scientists) argued that the labor force should be rid of unfit workers–whom they labeled “unemployables,” “parasites,” and the “industrial residuum”–so as to uplift superior, deserving workers. Immigrants, blacks, and those deemed defective in character or intellect were regarded by leading labor legislation activists less as victims of industrial capitalism than as threats to the health and well-being of deserving workers and of society more generally. Mostly neglected by historians of American economics, these invidious distinctions crucially informed the labor and immigration reform that is the hallmark of the Progressive Era (Leonard 2003a). (2)

This crude, eugenically informed sorting of workers into deserving and undeserving classes was applied to women as well. Many reformers classified women among the “unemployable.” In the United States, where nearly all Progressive Era labor legislation applied to women exclusively, laws regulating women’s work were promoted for the benefits thought to obtain when women were removed from paid employment. Leading progressives, among them women at the forefront of labor reform, advocated excluding women from the labor force on the grounds that (1) work outside the home threatened women’s health and morals; (2) working women usurped jobs that rightly belonged to male heads of household entitled to a “family wage”; and (3) women in the labor force improperly abandoned their eugenic duties as “mothers of the race.” (3)

Mothers of the Race where did we hear that term? Nazi Germany, that is where.

As you see Holdren’s views are part of the Progressive movement. Here is another comment from the above article.

By 1933, American demographer and eugenicist Paul Popenoe could boast that eugenic sterilization laws obtained in jurisdictions comprising 150 million people (Kevles 1995: 115). (9)

Could this be the reason that The Progressive Machine wants Health-care reform? With control of the Health-care system, medical care will be rationed by the government. This will allow the government to determine who gets care and who doesn’t. What will be the determination of who gets care? Could this be the means by which Progressives decide who lives and a dies? Who will be the undesirables?

Another overlooked aspect of Eugenics is the support it has among Darwinists. An example of this is Former Jazz Guitarist Charles “Icarus” Johnson owner of the Progressive blog LGF. Charles is a hardcore Darwinist and has banned anyone on his blog who questions this ideology. As the below Article shows, Darwinism influenced Eugenics thinking.

Galton introduced his own controversial idea—the theory of eugenics—in 1883.  At the time, Galton was probably thinking simply in terms of science, using his theory to describe selective breeding in humans as a means to improve the fitness of the human race.  However, when his theory was united with Spencer’s socially inclined concept of survival, the result was social Darwinism, a gripping theory about competition for survival among human races and social classes.

During Galton’s era—the Victorian Age in Britain—eugenics and social Darwinism seemed reasonable.  The notion that filth and disease were associated with immorality was widespread.  Furthermore, those who viewed themselves as superior, usually members of the upper classes of society, found that they could rely upon the theories put forth by Galton and Spencer to justify their discrimination against the lower classes.

Read the article.

This would explain Charles “Icarus” Johnson defending John Holdren’s Book on Sterilization on Scientific grounds.

As disturbing as the ideas in Ecoscience may seem, thinking through extreme situations and visualizing consequences and possible solutions is part of what science is about.

Interesting, Eugenics is OK since it is a radical Scientific solution to an extreme situation of over population. This analysis is disturbing and exposes Charles’s Darwinist ideology as Totalitarian and genocidal.

This puts Charles Johnson on the same side as Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. Nice company you have, Icarus.
