[Sundaycommunity] The Corruption of Science by Politics and War

Hi all

I was astonished during my recent return visit  to Toronto when a few of 
my brothers contended that I was in an echo chamber of misinformation. I 
was troubled by this discourse because I pride myself on the diversity 
of news sources to which I subscribe.  I wish I had the opportunity to 
really dig down and compare available news resources in a format that 
would demonstrate which sources were in reality an echo chamber of 
misinformation and which were not.

Perhaps the movie, _The Matrix _provides a better metaphor for 
understanding our current context than does the metaphor of echo 
chambers.   In this  hero's journey story the hero, Neo has to choose 
between taking the blue pill  where he would live happily, a lie that 
everything was ok and normal.  Alternatively he could choose the red 
pill where he would see reality in all its ugliness and technocratic 
danger.

Korsibski the founder of the field of General Semantics taught that 
humans do not act on reality but rather act on their internal map of 
reality(the meaning they ascribe to reality).  Cognitive scientists 
largely agree that our internal map influences what we perceive and what 
we believe.  Whereas rational discourse helps us build better internal 
maps by sharing a diversity of perspectives propaganda propagates and 
reinforces a flawed internal map by insisting that only one perspective 
be allowed. Propagandists are well versed in the science of influence.  
They know how to spin a narrative that keeps a major part of society 
choosing the blue pill.

Often times we forget that skepticism is essential to the scientific 
endeavor. Science advances through a series of scientific revolutions.  
A model or paradigm is presented for peer review. When anomalies 
overwhelm a model through the peer review process, that model is 
rejected and a new model is proposed that accommodates the anomalies of 
the first model.  When the model is not scrutinized but held as absolute 
truth it is no longer science but scientism.  That is what we have 
today: absolute truth provided to us by state approved experts ,of whom, 
we are forbidden to question of challenge.  Sounds a lot like the Holy 
Roman Empire and the Roman Catholic Church.

I wish to share with you a number of red pill resources. Included is 
the  Epoch Times article on the corruption of Oppenheimer's science, The 
Corruption of Science by Politics <#Corruption_of_Science_by_Politics>

The rest of what I want to share comes from the think tank Global 
Research.   I used to work for Gatt Fly and the Sugar Workers Forum 
before it was amalgamated into Kairos.  At that time one of the 
intellectuals that we had affinity with was Dr. Chossudovsky. He is the 
founder and editor of Global research where a diversity of Canadian and 
world intellectuals present papers on current events.  I will feature a 
companion "corruption of science" article that I have spoke to some of 
you about  and Global Research's best articles on war during the past month.

Dare to think your own thoughts.

          “Corruption” of Climate Science: Nobel Laureate John Clauser
          Speaks Out


    Earlier this month, the 2022 Nobel Physics Laureate Dr. John Clauser
    slammed the ‘climate emergency’ narrative as a “dangerous corruption
    of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of
    billions of people”. Inevitably, the punishments have begun. A talk
    that Dr. Clauser was due to give to the International Monetary Fund
    on climate models has been abruptly cancelled, and the page
    announcing the event removed from the IMF site.

The Corruption of Science by Politics

*By Jeffrey Tucker*

/Commentary/

Been to the movies lately? Maybe you are trying them out again. They 
seemed to have improved under the desperate desire to get audiences back.

I know there are reasonable criticisms but I found “Barbie” to be fun, 
if only because it completely ignored the last 20 years of gender 
dysphoria and asserted bracing but welcome sex binary.

“Mission Impossible” was a blast too but we’ve come to expect that from 
this franchise. Unexpected is “The Sound of Freedom” which is a 
terrifying expose of contemporary issues that, for reasons which are 
unclear, is a film utterly despised by the left.

We should talk about “Oppenheimer.” It’s about many things but 
ultimately the theme concerns the use and abuse of science in service of 
state power.

The U.S. government tapped a promising physicist to build a better bomb. 
Once two years and $2 billion were consumed in the great project, it 
needed to be deployed, whether necessary to win the war or not. Germany 
was already defeated and Japan was ready to surrender but the chance to 
demonstrate to the world the superior military might of the United 
States was too good to pass up.

J. Robert Oppenheimer swallowed his moral scruples about the bombings in 
Japan—he thought the bomb would be used against Nazis—that cost hundreds 
of thousands of innocent lives. But he drew the line at pushing for the 
hydrogen bomb or building even more of the bombs he built. He became an 
advocate for arms control in order to avoid an escalation with the 
Soviet Union.

At this point, he was hounded by Washington for his personal Russian 
relationships that included dalliances with communists. So yes, his 
benefactor the state turned on him, exactly as the film depicts Albert 
Einstein predicting to him.

Later of course his reputation was restored. And this movie goes a very 
long way to memorialize him as a complicated but brilliant man.

One feature of the film I found particularly valuable was explaining the 
extremely strange relationship between the United States and the Soviet 
Union in these years. Following the Great War, there was a massive Red 
Scare in this country from 1918 to 1923, and that included Congressional 
hearings, censorship, and new sedition legislation that is today being 
used by the Biden administration against Trump and his supporters.

During the New Deal, which amounted to a rejection of free-enterprise 
dynamics of the American spirit, President Roosevelt brought into his 
administration many admirers of Soviet “achievements” in agriculture and 
housing. Among them was the hugely influential Rex Tugwell, an economist 
who embraced central planning and crafted much of the legislation in 
those years that cartelized industry, controlled prices, and embarked on 
Soviet-style projects.

This is one reason that champions of freedom in those days despised the 
New Deal. Reds were all over Washington. And despite the legend, their 
policies did not release the United States from the grip of depression 
but only prolonged it with controls, spending, regulation, and subsidies.

Yes, I know, we’ll never get rid of the myth that the New Deal saved us 
but the reality is that the Depression lasted through the next war and 
didn’t really end until peace came in 1945 and following.

But step back a few years in time. When the United States entered World 
War II, the U.S. and Russia became allies, and FDR and Stalin became 
fast friends in the effort to defeat the Nazis and Imperial Japan. It 
was “Roosevelt’s Road to Russia” that was completed in this alliance. 
During those days, there was no danger for scientists and others in 
having communist and Red connections but rather quite the reverse.

After the war, there was another switcheroo. President Harry Truman was 
facing party losses in Congress and cleverly triangulated by ramping up 
the Red Scare again. In 1948, the communists won an election in Greece, 
and this was highlighted in the United States as evidence of a growing 
imperialism under the influence of Moscow.

In the blink of an eye, Russia went from valiant ally to feared enemy. 
And this was a decade and a half after the United States went from 
feared enemy to valuable domestic influence. And this was only a decade 
and a half after Russia went from friend of the West to feared enemy. 
Yep, in the course of a half-century, the switch happened three times.

Did you ever wonder why George Orwell’s book “1984” was so named? It was 
a spin on 1948 when the Cold War began and within an instant the public 
mind flipped from celebrating to hating an entire nation. This is why in 
the book, international relations between Oceania, Eurasia, and East 
Asia were in continued flux. With each change, the announcement went out 
that we’ve always been at war with whomever the ruling class wanted war 
with next.

At the end of the Cold War, the United States celebrated emancipation in 
Russia and the demise of the Soviet Union and trade relations picked up. 
But sure enough, two and a half decades later, mainstream media—the same 
voices who once favored arms control and peace during the Cold War—is 
agitating for war with Russia. As in Orwell’s book, they tell us that 
we’ve always been at war with Russia.

The same crowd that agitated for decades for peace with Russia now wants 
all-out war!

In any case, this is the larger historical context in which Oppenheimer 
was grilled for his communist connections and why he went from friend to 
enemy so quickly. It was all about regime priorities. They have exerted 
more influence on science in modern times than we care to admit.

Let’s explore a case from the science of economics.

When the American Economic Association was founded in 1885, one of its 
first publications was an utterly vicious and disgraceful tract 
<https://lists.youmaker.com/links/HXGf860Qs/FyUWi451y/l4SARvCQl/H9JTASEwI5> 
that favored segregation, white supremacy, eugenics, and much worse, not 
only for blacks but also for southern Italians, Jews, and Slavs, if you 
can believe it.

This deployment of fake science kept up for decades in all the 
mainstream economics textbooks and journals. It didn’t really end until 
after the Second World War. This is a tragic history because economics 
as a science began in the late Middle Ages with an emancipatory spirit. 
It was corrupted in the United States during the 20th century by state 
influence.

And so it has been throughout the century. This impacts every discipline 
from physics to economics to engineering to climatology.

Speaking of which, the founder of climatology in America is Harvard 
professor Robert DeCourcy Ward (1867–1931). He was a consummate member 
of the academic establishment. He was a founder of the American 
Restriction League, one of the first organizations to advocate a 
“scientific” approach to immigration rooted in Darwinian evolutionary 
theory and the policy of eugenics.

“Darwin and his followers laid the foundation of the science of 
eugenics,” Ward alleged in his manifesto published in the North American 
Review in July 1910. “Why,” Ward demanded, “should the breeding of man, 
the most important animal of all, alone be left to chance?”

By “chance,” of course, he meant choice. Ward explained that the United 
States had a “remarkably favorable opportunity for practicing eugenic 
principles.” And there was a desperate need to do so, because “already 
we have not hundreds of thousands, but millions of Italians and Slavs 
and Jews whose blood is going into the new American race.”

Thus are the thoughts of the earliest Harvard climatologist. And his 
successors have not distanced themselves from state priorities either, 
as you can easily discover by picking up today’s newspapers.

It’s different but also the same. Daily we are told that our gas stoves, 
weekend getaways, and meat consumption are causing the planet to burn up 
into a ball of fire. The evidence: it’s summer outside. This they call 
climate change. Which is bad. This can only be remedied by giving up 
your standard of living and having fewer kids.

Like you, I’ve had it with this pseudo-science and the religion of 
“trusting the experts.” It was the “experts” who said we can only be 
safe from a common respiratory virus by giving up all our liberties, 
plugging our ability to breathe, and injecting ourselves with an 
experimental shot.

The lockdowns and what followed were the awakening we needed. They 
affected nearly everyone. They were blessed by nearly all mainstream 
“science” and the whole of Big Tech, government, and media cooperated in 
the sanctifying church and school closures and the brutalization of the 
population.

If there is any good to come of this, it is the spread of mass 
incredulity toward the expert class to which we have been long overly 
deferential.

The great lesson of the movie “Oppenheimer” is that science is not as 
independent as we are told. It can easily be bought by governments, as 
tragic as that sounds.

The real heroes of every age are the voices who stick to truth and facts 
regardless of the winds of politics. During lockdowns, those were few 
and far between. But maybe that is always the case.
