The UN’s secret is out: It owns the science and there’s nothing you can do about it
American Thinker ^ | 3 Oct, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

Melissa Fleming made this startling announcement at the most obvious place of all for an announcement about world domination.

Melissa Fleming has a bachelor’s in German studies and a master’s in broadcast journalism. These degrees equipped the former journalist to become the head of the United Nations Department of Global Communications. From that august bureaucratic propaganda position, she just announced to a World Economic Forum panel that the UN and Google “own the science.”

Old-fashioned people like myself understand that science is a process. You propose a theory, you carefully construct an experiment that will isolate the truth or falsity of that theory, and then you hold the result of your experiment out to the world for it to be replicated (then it’s probably good) or challenged (bad theory, very, very bad).

Scientists are not a process. They are humans who make mistakes, who have or lack morals, who let their egos get in the way, and who are limited by the technology and knowledge of the era in which they live.

SNIP

But try telling that to the bureaucrats at the UN. Whether its climate change (which has seen every doom-and-gloom prediction proven wrong, scientists alter facts, and everyone ignoring natural climate cycles), COVID (here’s a short list of leftist errors), or gender (which ignores biology and offers only theory), the leftist bureaucrats who populate the Un have been wrong about everything.

However, the UN apparatchiks understand something that we, who believe in the scientific process, struggle to recognize: It’s not the process that matters; it’s access to information. And that, Melissa Fleming, with her German and journalism majors, completely understands. At a World Economic Forum panel on “disinformation,” Fleming stated explicitly that the process is irrelevant; it’s power that counts (emphasis mine):

1. The pandemic is to force you to get the vaccine

2. The vaccine is to force you to get the vaccine passport

3. The vaccine passport is to push you into the social credit system

4. The social credit system is to force you into obeying the government

Science is a question.

Politics is a life.

Scientia potentia est. That is, knowledge is power.

The UN takes that literally.

But 70% DID obey.

That leaves us in an ignorable group at best, targeted at worst.

By “the science” she means “the truth.” Except, of course, science is not about truth. It is about testing theories. But only falsifiable theories that can be proven wrong. Science is test and verify, then test some more.
If the theory is not unprovable it is considered not a theory but a belief and is not science. The only “influencer” is test and verify. There is no testing in environmental religion, only belief. Influencers present beliefs, not theories.
If they own the science it is not science but dogma, the root of a false religion. They do in fact own the dogma.

” The U.N. and Google own the science “.

That’s the key takeaway from this article.

“The U.N. and Google own the science.”

...and people thought the Enlightenment Age put an end to the big shots ‘owning’ knowledge without question.

I guess we’re back to pre-Enlightenment now.

Oh, I think there are some things the American people can do about it. If they have the balls.

Once. Now look up ‘compliance’ rates on boosters. Re-boosters. This new chimera shot. Even the sheep understand happenstance, coincidence, enemy action.
