Remember the days when Hannity would say “In two weeks I’m going to release a bombshell!!” Everything he would say would always be a yawn.

It seems that now we are having huge real bombshells released several times a day!

President Eisenhower saw this coming.

“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist...we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite...

...As we peer into society’s future, we - you and I, and our government - must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow.”

Eisenhower farewell speech

(Beware the ) “domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money.” Eisenhower

I skimmed through the beginning of the transcript and found out what the indirect payments are. If a guy gets a $100,000 grant, then the university or host research facility gets additional indirect grants to offset physical plant costs and administration expenses. Most places get up to 60% of the original grant amount, money that they can spend as they see fit, since the amounts needed for facility costs are just a small part of that. It’s just a big slush fund scam.

That’s crazy. One lab could be conducting many studies at once. 60% X multiple studies for one lab really adds up.
