Death Panels, The Result, Sol Goes Home

All the craze at the time the movie "Solent Green" was made, was a book written by Erlickman and Holdren in 1969, "The Population Bomb". The book predicted that "in the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death", that nothing can be done to avoid mass famine greater than any in the history, and radical action is needed to limit the overpopulation.

John Holdren is also the co-author of a later 1977 book called Eco Science in which the book offered a series of recommendations that seem right out of dystopian science fiction. John Holdren, Obama's Science Czar, says in the "Eco Science" book: Forced abortions and mass sterilization needed to save the planet -- Book he authored in 1977 advocates for extreme totalitarian measures to control the population. Zobietime has more.

Soylent Green


A 1973 tale of Earth in despair in 2022. Natural food like fruits, vegetables, and meat among others are now extinct. Earth is overpopulated and New York City has 40 million starving, poverty stricken people. The only way they survive is with water rations and eating a mysterious food called Soylent. The film overlays the science fiction and police procedural genres as it depicts the efforts of New York City police detective Robert Thorn (Charlton Heston) and elderly police researcher Sol Roth (Edward G. Robinson) to investigate the brutal murder of a wealthy businessman named William R. Simonson (Joseph Cotten). Thorn and Roth uncover clues which suggest that it is more than simply a bungled burglary. The truth he uncovers is more disturbing than the Earth in turmoil when he learns the secret ingredient of Soylent Green.

In the last scene, Charlton Heston raised his blood streaked hand and yells, "Soylent Green, it's people" the evidence was what Sol was seaking as he knowingly went into soup where people were turned back into green crackers for food.

Wouldn't you like to be next?

Question, is Obama science czar John Holdren, Obama's Dr Strangelove?
