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.
