No matter what the media and others regurgitate, it’s always about money and control.

Anthony Fauci said he was the ultimate arbiter of science, and anyone who disagreed with him did not believe in science. The truth is that he simply fabricated most of the “science” upon which he suggested the dictatorial government edicts. He intentionally lied.

Governors used Fauci’s pronouncements to justify keeping schools, businesses, and churches closed. They falsely said their rules were based on science. There was no science that said that a six-foot separation or a three-foot separation would stop the spread of COVID; Plexiglass would stop the spread; anyone who got the vaccine would be completely protected from getting COVID again or spreading the virus; or masks would protect you from getting or spreading the virus.

There was no scientific reason to change the way deaths were classified to goose the numbers.

It was a bald-faced lie when Fauci and most of the media called it a disproven conspiracy to suggest the virus originated in a lab.

The media and others set out to destroy anyone who disagreed with Fauci’s decrees; politicians and others said we wanted people to die, denigrating us as “grandma killers.”

How many children, families, and small businesses were destroyed because of these made-up pronouncements?

It is pathetic that Democrats, in a congressional hearing, defended Fauci, despite knowing that he and others pushed a political agenda over truth.

On global warming and climate change, to push the green agenda, we are constantly told that the science is settled and anyone who disagrees is a climate change “denier” to censor any dissent.

No matter how many previous dire predictions have been completely wrong, they just repeat the lie that a man-made climate catastrophe is coming unless we hand over all our wealth and autonomy to government. If a scientist disagrees with the talking points and policies, they can expect to be cut off from research grants and other government funds. It’s the old, “97% of climate scientists agree with whoever is funding them, the other 3% are silenced by the media.”

The following article from Redstate lets the cat out of the bag on how much science is just made up, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg:

Academic Publisher Retracts Over 11,300 Papers and Shuts 19 Journals As It Is Overwhelmed by Fraud

Academic fraud is forcing Wiley, a major publisher of scientific journals, to close 19 journals after some were overwhelmed by industrial-scale research fraud. In the last two years, Wiley has retracted over 11,300 papers containing some fraudulent content.

Academic publishing is a major industry for two reasons. The publishing industry generates about $30 billion in revenue, approximately 40% of which comes from within the United States. These publications don’t make their money from advertisers. To have a research paper published in a top-tier journal will cost the research team several thousand dollars. That money typically is an authorized expense of the grant or contract the laboratory has received.

Why, you might add, would anyone pay $12,000 to have their paper published in one of Nature’s 156 titles? The way you win grants, acquire and maintain academic tenure, and move from the underpaid gypsy status of a post-doctoral researcher is by publishing. Nearly all the problems associated with academic publishing — fraudulent data, insipid and irrelevant subjects, and incoherent writing being top among them — stem from the role publishing in academic journals plays in scientific research. Paradoxically, the business model of academic journals is based on selling space to needy scientists, and so there is a tension between academic integrity and the bottom line that technology, especially the emergence of large language models, has exacerbated.

To summarize, scientists who want to advance in their career pay publications to publish their reports. It is essentially junk science. There is massive fraud in what people read.

Then there are rich people and rich countries who pretend they want to help poor undeveloped countries by giving them money to supposedly combat climate change. Basically, they confiscate money from the public, give some of it to poor countries, then shovel most of it back to themselves through green pushers and other kickback allies. From Reuters:

Wealthy countries sent climate funding to the developing world in recent years with interest rates or strings attached that benefited the lending nations, a Reuters data analysis found.

Japan, France, Germany, the United States and other wealthy nations are reaping billions of dollars in economic rewards from a global program meant to help the developing world grapple with the effects of climate change, a Reuters review of U.N. and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development data shows.

The financial gains happen as part of developed nations’ pledge to send $100 billion a year to poorer countries to help them reduce emissions and cope with extreme weather. By channeling money from the program back into their own economies, wealthy countries contradict the widely embraced concept that they should compensate poorer ones for their long-term pollution that fueled climate change, more than a dozen climate finance analysts, activists, and former climate officials and negotiators told Reuters.

If rich people and rich countries truly wanted to help poor underdeveloped countries thrive, they would encourage them to develop and use natural resources instead of pretending they can control temperatures, sea levels, and storm activity. Or, they can donate their own personal wealth, instead of stealing it from the working class to do so.

A significant cause of problems throughout the world is that we have a mostly sycophant media who have lost their curiosity genes. They just repeat what they are told to push agendas for political elites, and the people become secondary to the powerful government.
