[Sundaycommunity] Chris Hedges: The Corporatization of American Science

[Arthur Blomme]

Hi all

I mentioned this _ON Contact _episode at Sunday Community today.

I would like to add the following.   Our vaccine producers are private 
corporations. Major players in these corporations and the development 
mRNA technology are associated with the genetic science derived from 
military applications. i.e. the weoponization of viruses at the Wuhan 
lab in China where the virus originated.

Peace and Love

On the show, Chris Hedges discuss the corporatization and corruption of 
American science with the author Clifford D. Conner. Science in the 
United States almost exclusively serves the interest of corporate and 
military power. Science historian Clifford Conner writes that the 
corruption of science exploded with the 1942-1945 Manhattan Project, the 
first “big science” project in which the government spent massively on 
developing the atom bomb. Science, from this point forward, became big 
business. Scientists are employed in “hypothesis-driven” research to 
promote the interests of the food industry, the tobacco industry, and 
the fossil fuel industry, attacking or silencing scientific studies that 
cast doubt on the claims of these industries. The result is a society 
awash in lies, many of them buttressed by bogus scientific studies 
carried out to reach the conclusion demanded by those who pay for the 
studies. This corruption is now endemic in think tanks, scientific 
institutes, and universities, which accept corporate money to do 
corporate bidding. The public is provided with industry-sponsored hype 
rather than truth. Objective scientific research has all but vanished. 
The consequences for our health and our planet are catastrophic. 
ExxonMobile and Koch Industries fund climate-change denial studies. 
Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds produce findings minimizing the link 
between smoking and lung cancer. Purdue Pharma and Pfizer peddle highly 
addictive opioids as routine pain killers, triggering an opioid epidemic 
that since 1999 has seen 500,000 Americans die from an overdose 
involving an opioid. Coca-Cola and Kellogg hire nutrition scientists to 
tout the benefits of junk food. Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and 
Microsoft pump billions into creating “machine intelligence.” This 
artificial intelligence is designed to serve private and military 
interests, not those of the public. Clifford D. Conner is author of the 
new book The Tragedy of American Science: From Truman to Trump.
