My father used to discuss how one could not get grant money if one did not play to the prejudices of the grant-givers. That was well over 30 years ago.

My favorite circle jerk story is EPA, funds a study to say XYZ is bad for the environment. The EPA then funds enviro activist group to use the study as a basis to sue EPA to get a new rule implemented.

We need to interrogate the inherent whiteness in Newton's laws.

To some extent, that's inevitable. What's changed (IMHO) is the shocking absurdity of those prejudices.

True. But on some level, you'd think a fairly-distinguished scientist working for a national lab---for which he'd worked since the lab's creation---would have some immunity to such things.

One cannot avoid the suspicion that Fauci has long been engaged in something similar with the pharma companies.

I doubt EPA is the only agency running the scam. Trump / Russia is similar, pay for a phony document, use that document to investigate Trump.

You forgot, leak it to certain media newspapers and media companies so that reporting can be used to support investigating Trump as if it is independently corroborated.

And now the very same FBI team wants us to believe Trump has secret nuclear docs which would be virtually impossible for him to have.
