“Government science exists because it is a fine weapon to use, in order to force an agenda of control over the population. We aren’t talking about knowledge here. Knowledge is irrelevant. What counts is: ‘How can we fabricate something that looks like the truth?’ I keep pointing this out: we’re dealing with reality builders. In this case, they make their roads and fences out of data, and they massage and invent the data out of thin air to suit their purposes. After all, they also invent money out of thin air.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)
Totalitarian science lets you know you’re living in a totalitarian society.
The government, the press, the mega-corporations, the prestigious foundations, the academic institutions, the “humanitarian” organizations say:
“This is the disease. This is its name. This is what causes it. This is the drug that treats it. This is the vaccine that prevents it.
“This is how accurate diagnosis is done. These are the tests. These are the possible results and what they mean.
“Here are the genes. This is what they do. This is how they can be changed and substituted and manipulated. These are the outcomes.
“These are the data and the statistics. They are correct. There can be no argument about them.
“This is life. These are the components of life. All change and improvement result from our management of the components.
“This is the path. It is governed by truth which science reveals. Walk the path. We will inform you when you stray. We will report new improvements.
“This is the end. You can go no farther. You must give up the ghost. We will remember you.”
We are now witnessing the acceleration of Official Science. Of course, that term is an internal contradiction. But the State shrugs and moves forward.
The notion that the State can put its seal on favored science, enforce it, and punish its competitors, is anathema to a free society.
For example: declaring that psychiatrists can appear in court as expert witnesses, when none of the so-called mental disorders listed in the psychiatric literature are diagnosed by laboratory tests.
For example: stating that vaccination is mandatory, in order to protect the vaccinated (who are supposed to be immune) from the unvaccinated. An absurdity on its face.
For example: announcing that the science of climate change is “settled,” when there are, in fact, huge numbers of researchers who disagree. —And then, drafting legislation and issuing executive orders based on the decidedly unsettled science.
For example: officially approving the release and sale of medical drugs (“safe and effective”) which go on to kill, at a conservative estimate, 100,000 Americans every year. And then refusing to investigate or punish the purveyors of these drug approvals (the FDA).
For example: permitting the widespread use of genetically modified food crops, based on no long-term studies of their impact on human health. And then, arbitrarily announcing that the herbicide, Roundup, for which many of these crops are specifically designed, is non-toxic.
For example: declaring and promoting the existence of various epidemics, when the viruses purportedly causing them are not proven to exist and/or not proven to cause human illness (Ebola, SARS, West Nile, Swine Flu, etc.)
A few of you reading this have been with me since 1988, when I published my first book, AIDS INC., Scandal of the Century. Among other conclusions, I pointed out that HIV had never been shown to cause human illness; the front-line drug given to AIDS patients, AZT, was overwhelmingly toxic; and what was being called AIDS was actually a diverse number immune-suppressing conditions.
Others of you have found my work more recently. I always return to the subject of false science, because it is the most powerful long-term instrument for repression, political control, and destruction of human life.
As I’ve stated on many occasions, medical science is ideal for mounting and launching covert ops aimed at populations—because it appears to be politically neutral, without any allegiance to State interests.
Unfortunately, medical science, on many fronts, has been hijacked and taken over. The profit motive is one objective, but beyond that, there is a more embracing goal:
Totalitarian control.
On the issue of vaccines, I’ve written much about their dangers and ineffectiveness. But also consider this: the push for mandatory vaccination goes a long way toward creating a herd effect—which is really a social construction.
In other words, parents are propagandized to think of themselves a kind of synthetic artificial “community.”
“Here we are. We are the fathers and mothers. We must all protect our children against the outliers, the rebels, the defectors, the crazy ones who refuse to vaccinate their own children. We are all in this together. They are the threat. The enemy. We are good. We know the truth. They are evil.”
This “community of the willing” are dedicated to what the government tells them. They are crusaders imbued with group-think. They run around promoting “safety and protection.” This group consciousness is entirely an artifact, propelled by “official science.”
The crusaders are, in effect, agents of the State.
They are created by the State.
Androids.
They live in an absurd Twilight Zone where fear of germs (the tiny invisible terrorists) demands coercive action against the individuals who see through the whole illusion.
This is what official science can achieve. This is how it can enlist obedient foot soldiers and spies who don’t have the faintest idea about how they’re being used.
This is a variant on Orwell’s 1984. The citizens are owned by the all-embracing State, but they aren’t even aware of it.
That’s quite a trick.

“Considering his background, Dr. John Ioannidis had good reason to expect that he might become a noted and respected researcher when he first entered the field of medical research. What he did not expect was that he would become known for challenging and exposing the bad science of his peers and finding that up to 80 percent of medical studies results are either wrong or fraudulent.
The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. ”

As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny “failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.” In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate would ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us.—Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death (1985)
“When one with honeyed words but evil mind
Persuades the mob, great woes befall the state.”
Euripides
Excellent Rappoport piece and great comment. A minor correction would be Postman’s description of Huxley who, as an elitist (check out his comments on Wikipedia), wanted humanity to love its enslavement and said exactly that. BTW, Jan Irvin of Gnostic Media recently wrote a lengthy well researched paper on Huxley’s involvement with MK Ultra.
Thanks for the Link. Much interesting data.
Still looking for Huxley, but been sidetracked on many alternative paths.
More bullshit. These 1000 scientists are not climate scientists with relevant research.” less than 1% of those signers had a PhD in anything related to climatology, and they allowed anyone to sign who claimed to have a bachelor’s degree in ANY science or engineering field, including veterinarians, entomologists (people who study insects), metallurgists, and electrical engineers. Since about 40% of the signers only had bachelor’s degrees,”
Barry Bickmore, a Republican scientist investigated and found that the 1000 scientists are not qualified to make professional assessments. At his website ,https://bbickmore.wordpress.com/2010/12/13/another-red-herring-survey/ gives detailed background on the leading “scientists.” For instance, the first dissenter listed is TomTripp ” Tripp is a metallurgist working for U.S. Magnesium,”
None are climate scientists with peer-reviewed research in the field. Virtually 100% of the world’s climate scientist accept global warming as an empirical fact, and 97% accept human activity as the cause, with the other 3% not sure what the cause is.
When an author uses such bogus documentation to promote the fossil fuel propoganda effort to create the illusion of a scientific debate on climate change, I lose patience and stop reading.
I do not doubt there is bogus science corporate control of research, as with GMOs but it is dangerous to throw away the baby with the bath water by using misleading terms like government science. Lumping the bogus with the legitimate only serves those who benefit by poisoning the well.
I reject this kind of BS as worse than the fake science that does exist, for it leads scientifically illiterate readers to doubt all science and leaves them then accepting only of corporate propaganda.
and yet the world gets cooler, Old Sol has no respect for titles nor reputations and traverses the sky ever-triumphant; high above the prattling fools.
That is false. All empirical evidence shows the last decade was the warmest on history, with the Arctic warming up twice as fast as the rest of the world. In the past decade, the rate of warming has slightly slowed down but the average surface and ocean heat continues to increase. If Old Sol were the only factor, we would indeed be cooling, but burning fossil fuels has raised CO2 to rise from 240/million to 400/million since the start of the Industrial Age and widespread burning of fossil fuels. The CO2 level is the highest in 800,000 years,and the earth continues to warm.
There is no scientific debate by climate scientists on this fact. Even the Koch funded Berkeley Earth Project, led by a leading climate skeptic, proved that government and UN data are reliable and have not been falsified.
The only refutation of this empirical fact comes from fossil fuel industry, which has known since 1980 that the earth is warming, have spent hundreds of millions to create the illusion of scientific uncertainty, in order to block legislation to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions (ie for profit). They cynically use the scientific illiterates in the public as “useful idiots” and buy Republican politicians to block action to reduce the source of the warming.
The government is demonized (and climate scientists,who sometimes use government funding,tho most have secure and well-paid academic careers at public and private universities) in order to shift blame from polluters to the one organization with the power and authority to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, along with the other lethal waste from the fossil fuel industry (which at the same time is trying to tax clean energy out of the market). So we non climate scientists have a choice of whom to listen to: the worlds climate scientists (99.9%) in 180 nations or the propagandists of the fossil fuel industry.
This summer, there have been record heat waves in North America (Portland was 104 two days ago), South America, Europe (Northern Germany hit 104),
Africa, South East Asia, and China, and the Arctic. 90% of the world’s glaciers are melting, leading to flooding and eventually lack of water. This is not computer modeling or speculation: this is empirical fact. So you can accept the finding of actual scientists doing research on climate (and not fake lists of non-climate scientists) or you can be a useful idiot of the fossil fuel oligarchs, who seek to block government action in order to maximize profits, since the damage to human health and the environment is “externalized,”ie passed on to the public and government in higher health insurance costs, premature death,environmental cleanup,and the costs of extreme climate events.
Proposals to tax carbon emissions would cap, if not reduce, growing emissions (and incentivize efforts to clean it up more cheaply),and this would raise the cost of energy; the proceeds of the tax (or fine) would then be refunded to the public to compensate for higher (but cleaner) energy costs. The other proposal is to accelerate the transition to clean energy like solar and wind, which reduces the need for burning fossil fuels and leads to huge savings in human healthcare, the environment,and the family pocket book. Household can get solar installations for zero down and with lower monthly bills, or buy teh
Household can get solar for zero down and lower monthly payments, so dirty energy companies are seeking “fees” which exceed the cost of energy to destroy the solar initiative (see APS in Arizona which wanted $100 fee for $70 energy bill for link to grid,which APS,by law, needs to meet mandated clean energy requirements.). If you buy outright, it pays for itself in 5-7 yrs and then you have 20 years of free, clean energy, and you can make money by selling it back to the power company. Free energy? No wonder the fossil fuel industry is trying to destroy it…..where’s the profit in free energy? So they spread lies to create public confusion and buy politicians to block legislation to reduce pollution. One of their lies is the earth is not warming, tho their own research, fore over 30 years, shows it is,with catastrophic results the cost of which is shifted to the public. If the fossil fuel industry had to include the externalized costs, gas would be $10 a gallon we would all be in electric cars,powered from our rooftop solar panels. But where’s the profit in that?
Well said 🙂
Same old, same old….still worshipping at the altar of authority…as Einstein once wrote:
“Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.”
Dale, try something different – think – and research – for yourself 🙂
You claim to have a higher (tertiary) education, and yet all you do is cite ‘authorities’ … unfortunately, it really does seem as though that supposed education has failed you (or you it?)
Dear Dale
You do realize that the Carbon “mirror” works both ways …. If it can keep heat in, it can also keep heat, from the sun, out.
And since your quoting heat waves …. how about quoting the record snow falls (in summer!!!)
He is the perfect example of the allegory of the cave by plato.
He prides himself on his false knowledge and thinks we are all wrong.
You could literally drag him out to the sunlight and he still wouldn’t see.
Just sad and pathetic.
However he his is providing a very strong lesson in what NOT to do.
Regarding DR’s comment below honoring scientific elitism.
You don’t have to be a structural engineer to recognize NIST’s explanation of the collapse of the trade towers on 9/11, particularly building 7, was utter bullshit. Neither did one need to be a lipid researcher or cardiologist, or medical professional for that matter, to see that the cholesterol-heart disease paradigm was BS medical groupthink devoid of scientific merit propping up statin sales. Nor did one need to be an esteemed member of the Warren Commission and a ballistics expert to figure out Arlen Specter’s magic bullet explanation was an absolute absurdity.
Critical thinking ALWAYS stands head and shoulders above top-down agenda driven authoritarian mandated DOGMA.
The bathwater doesn’t have any babies in it, it has billions of “frogs” on a slow boil.
Dead horse alert further down…
“Even the Koch funded…climate skeptic” … The Agenda 21 sponsoring GLOBALIST Kochs working arm in arm with two Rockefeller foundations on the Colorado Climate Change Project are going to actually go against the AGW meme??? Come on, get real, that’s a head fake. Their father was co-intelpro commandeering the JBS, he supported Stalin before that along with other international bankster protected oligarchs. Dorothy Bush Koch, daughter of George H.W. Bush married into the Kochs thus binding the two crime families. Our contrarian commenter DR studied graduate level political science at Harvard and Berkeley and can’t connect the dots? Hmm.
Another excellent post, CM. It is a shame that critical thinking skills are not always (or even often, nowadays?) apparent in those claiming a ‘higher education’, but with such skills, and a modicum of research methodology experience, it is often easy to see through quite blatant falsehoods as those you mention. At the very least, critical thinking makes one alert to so called claims of ‘expert authority’. Who decides who is an expert? I would remind some posters here – again – to have a read of Kuhn 🙂
Thanks again.
For example: stating that vaccination is mandatory, in order to protect the vaccinated (who are supposed to be immune) from the unvaccinated. An absurdity on its face.
Jct: But they don’t realize how absurd it is when they say it and most booboisie don’t realize how absurd it is when they hear it. Har har har har har har. Being afraid of people you are immune to has to be almost as absurd as trying to stop climate from changing. Har har har har har har. Won’t posterity enjoy that one for the rest of history.
