Oh dear, poor old science has taken a real battering now that Governments and Institutions (like NASA) have decided to corrupt it for their own purposes. So welcome to the science category where posts will all be based against the absolute rigour of the Scientific Method. Briefly this entails having an insight into how something works (a theory) then doing real experiments to measure data (results) and attempt to verify that your original insight was correct (validation and conclusions). This elegant process has been the basis of scientific understanding and wealth creation for millenia. So we will expose its abuse and the sometimes deliberately science that pervades of lives.
There are plenty of examples!
Topics will include detail on the method and how it can filter out nonsense and refine the truth. Sadly the Peer Review system by which the quality of science has been judged in the past has been corrupted. It has been taken over by gangs of ‘clique scientists’ who review each others work in quiet collaboration – either to push an Agenda or to increase their chances of being funded. As with ‘fake news’ we have always had ‘fake science’. We now have quite open subversion of science by Governments and Oligarchs mostly to manipulate the population (eg covid policies) or make vast amounts of ‘profit’ (eg vaccine demand and supply).
All this leads to massive abuses of power (eg the European Commission attempting to ‘harmonise’ the totalitarian approach to vaccinate all citizens of the European Union). Coercion on a grand scale.
As the Chinese curse goes “may you live in interesting times”.
We will shine an unadulterated scientific light onto these dark pools of excess to see what lies under the covers, and the possible motives and who gains and who looses (usually you!).
- The Censorship of ScienceIt is a sad day when you have to sit down and write a Post about corruption in science. In my naive and idealistic way I thought science was about enlightenment, debate, the fair competition of ideas and promotion of understanding and that the ‘Scientific Method’ was widely accepted as the gold standard for exploring … Read more
- COPout #3: Liquid Natural Gas HypocrisyApologies for the lull of these COPout alerts, the spirit has been willing but the flesh has been a bit on the weak side … don’t worry there is plenty of ammunition for future Posts. In the aftermath of Mr Putin’s new concept of logic LNG, Liquid Natural Gas, has become all the rage these … Read more
- Lockdowns Don’t Save Lives – But Do Have Massive CostsJohns Hopkins University in the USA have just published (Jan 2022) a research paper which has caused quite a stir A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis on the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality This is a paper that focuses on the economic factors rather than medical factors affecting mortality. Its main conclusions are as follows:“Overall, … Read more
- Great News! Great Danes!Well its not often that you have your faith in human nature restored, but that happened a few days ago. If you’ve been following my musings you will know that my faith in most professional scientists, particularly Government, University and Institutional ones is very low. The performance of the UK Pandemic Modelling teams is a … Read more
- Stop Science being Strangled by PoliticsWe DO live in exciting times don’t we! One of the main reasons this Contrarian started this site was to expose the naked fraud and censorship being imposed on Science. Poor science has been the battered victim of the Pandemic, mainly due to a Globalist endeavour by Policitians, Oligarchs and Big Pharma working in tandem … Read more
