As an aside, I think we should get more control over our research labs. A nice big corporate tax break would spur on research and development for a good 8 year cycle.
OK Bubba.....roll out that evidence and we'll have a look at it. Waiting.....waiting....crickets.
Re no real scientist would be a member of a union - yes, but the Marxists/Leftist Liberal scientists created two “unions/federations” to promote their anti-defense views.
They are the Union of Concerned Scientists (color me pinko) and the Federation of American Scientists (FAS). FAS was led, until his recent death, by Jeremy Stone, son of identified Communist Party USA member and secret KGB operative I.F. “Izzy” Stone, the communist propagandist who claimed that the US used germ warfare in Korea (along with a similar claim by Australian Communist, KGB agent Wilfred Burchett, a friend of Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, and fundraising events sponsor Norman Lear).(See: www.keywiki.org, search for “Wilfred Burchett” and see the list of his fundraising/birthday party sponsors. You’ll shit a brick at some of them.
Both UCS and FAS were members of the “Anti-Defense Lobby” that was created in part, in 1965 with the creation of Women Strike for Peace, a CPUSA dominated organization and the older red-dominated Women’s international League for Peace and Freedom. Then came the “coalitions” of the 70’s including the Hayden/Hanoi Lobby’s “Coalition to Stop Funding the War” and its successor, the “Coalition for a New Foreign and Military Policy”.
Can’t forget the liberal/communist group known as SANE (roughly Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy). Loaded with reds and liberal cowards.
Later the CPUSA founded/largely dominated Mobilization for Survival became the successor version of the older anti-defense organizations.
Off the top of my head, the names of a few “scientists” kept popping up in most of these organizations including “Philip Morrison”, an identified member of the CPUSA; Linus Pauling, I believe he was a Nobel Prize winner, also a longtime identified member of the CPUSA; Leo
Szilard (reportedly an id. CPUSA member; Michio Kaku, affiliated with the former Communist Workers Party (maoist); and others including the Hanoi Lobby’s group who supported Hanoi’s claims that the US was waging chemical and biological war in Vietnam, esp. concerning defoliation.
There are scientists who practice the Kemeny Method of Scientific Inquiry and there are scientists who don’t.
As Pres. Reagan used to say, “Trust but verify”. In the case of the “new scientists” it is “Trust us, we know everything. No need to verify”.
That’s not what I was taught in my college science classes.
Well, not exactly. Them-there unionized "scientists" have the proof in hand that they get more government money after they unionize. What else is there for them to care about after exchanging their professional credentials for a meal ticket?
That made me spit up!
