It is not entirely clear that he actually said that, but there can be no doubt that he always believed it.

The idea that a Council, a committee, a UN can establish matters of scientific fact is utterly contrary to the scientific method. And it was for the scientific method as opposed to deduction from ideology done by authority that Galileo sacrificed his liberty.

Our liberty is about to be sacrificed to the same false service to ideology proclaimed by authority. Irony of ironies, our sacrifice will be distorted to the electorate as a commitment by us to ideology and a denial of science. Our world just, as Galileo's world, is being stood on its head.

The more it moves the more it stays the same.
