Thank goodness some other people recognize this pattern.

Lysenko was given free reign of terror over “wrong science thinking” and imprisoned and executed scientists who stood in opposition to his crank agrarian theories. And millions died. And his theory was picked up by other countries and it took decades for this to be “discredited.”

Lefitists [now warmists] recognized it for the useful tool it was and adopted it [environmentalism-green-climate disruption] as their new “friendly face” after communism was “defeated.”

Recognizing the pattern is inescapable if you know history.

It is an inescapable conclusion if not interrupted. I have much at stake. I am a signer of the petition. I am on 'the list', so to speak, and so many others, if it comes to that.

I come from a family of people who have been careful stewards of their land for 370 years, and are still farming part of that land grant.

Needless to say, the Federal (and other levels of) government have made it increasingly difficult for those members of my family still there to do so.

In the book, Dezinformatzia (search here for an inexpensive copy, if you don't have one), it was noted that some of the seed money for the budding environmental movement in the '60s and '70s came from KGB sources, with the express purpose of disrupting and damaging Western Industrial capability.

I have long thought the collapse of the USSR was a convenient rebranding of the system there, and Communism has never been so healthy as it has been after it was declared 'dead'.

The same jealous eyes hunger for paybacks and power.

Yes, the manner in which scientists and others are being “influenced” into accepting the AGW position is a perfect example of Lysenkoism.

If you get a chance, take a look at Richard Feynmann’s commencement address at CalTech: Cargo Cult Science

http://www.lhup.edu/~DSIMANEK/cargocul.htm

It’s a great read and gives another perspective on science vs. propoganda.

I will apologize for going off on a slight tangent, but the latest trend in Education has been ‘research’. Funding, Grants, teaching methods and so on are all suppose to be based on ‘research’. Sounds scientific, except no one actually has come out and defined just what the standards for accepting or rejecting the results of the ‘research’ are. Basically, teachers, administrators, school districts and so on must comply with the policies and procedures that are based on so called ‘research’. Again, Lysenko’s policies were based on his own ‘research’.
