Nearly two decades and $108 million worth of disturbing data manipulation with serious and far ranging effects forced a federal lab to close, a congressman revealed Thursday.
The inorganic section of the U.S. Geological Surveys (USGS) Energy Geochemistry Laboratory in Lakewood, Colo. manipulated data on a variety of topics including many related to the environment from 1996 to 2014. The manipulation was caught in 2008, but continued another six years.
Its astounding that we spend $108 million on manipulated research and then the far-reaching effects that that would have, Rep. Bruce Westerman said at a House Natural Resources subcommittee hearing. We know how research multiples and affects different parts of our society and our economy and if youre working off of flawed data it definitely could be in a bad way.
The problems were so severe, in fact, that the USGS has already closed the inorganic lab in question permanently, the Arkansas Republican said. The lab was terminated in January.

Exactly what Bradbury indicated when he was alive. All a “dog and pony” show—exactly like Rome’s “bread and circuses”— to distract and addict, and keep us from Truth (God) (just happy slaves of the State).
I hope so! That lab is a cesspool of liberal ideology.

We no longer have a government of, by and for the people.
We got fat and lazy after WWII, tuned into TV, junk food, sports and drugs. We let go of that bothersome self-gov stuff. Our elites took it over gladly.
They are now setting out the tartar sauce to go with us frogs.
The data will be lost in a hardware failure.
only astounding that it continued then actually got reported
