Science has lost its way, at a big cost to humanity

18. What I think about quite often:

Back in the nineteen seventies, we still had real scientists performing real science.

Now we have a ubiquitous revolving door between industry, university and governmental positions. Rarely do American researchers use the International Protocols that define science for researchers in other nations. (If we used those protocols, things would not be so economically rosy for industries like the vaccine industry, or for pesticide manufacturers, or for our pharmaceutical firms.)

When it is announced in the US Mainstream media, that such and such is safe, scientists in foreign countries laugh themselves silly. Is Gm food or Gm seed safe? Why yes, because Mike Taylor proclaimed it to be so! (Circa Clinton era.) Not since the Holy Roman Catholic Church existed to rule medieval Europe have we watched a whole segment of human beings fall into a dark age of "proclamations" making up what passes for and is accepted as, science.

When a "new study" concerning vaccinations came out, and substituted the toxin known as formaldehyde for the toxin known as mercury, it was found that children still became autistic. So how was the result of this study announced, so as to spin it for the best possible result for Big Pharma? Why, the headlines read: Mercury PROVEN "not connected or involved" in being the source of children's autism.

When the massive radiation from Fukushima impacted the Western shores of the USA, how did our government respond under science-enthusiast Obama? He shut down the EPA monitoring stations. Later on, when the same radiation blanketed our food supply, the EPA raised the levels of radiation deemed to be dangerous for public consumption. That way, the radiation-contaminated foods could still be purchased and ingested.

After all, we are number one. WE ARE NUMBER ONE! Yeah! USA!

We rank Number One especially in how many people per capita are incarcerated, and how much money we spend on the military. In fact, we spend more on the military than the next 126 nations in the world combined! And remember, every dollar spent on the military is a dollar less available for classrooms, where people would be learning about statistics, scientific protocols, and about how to determine if the headlines really mean what they say...
