Being someone who has only recently awoken to the tragedy of a burgeoning government with a plethora of three letter agencies that control every facet of life, I can’t help but wonder how things would be different if we had just heeded the warning given to us by former President Eisenhower in his farewell address to the nation. You can watch it here (approx 16 min). In his speech he warns of the military industrial complex:
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 never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
The warning signs of a rising medical industrial complex were being written and he draws attention to this. I can only imagine that no one was really paying attention. We were too busy recovering as a nation from WWII (1939-1945), the Korean War (1950-1953) and entering into the Vietnam War (1959-1975) to be concerned with what might be happening in the scientific community and how this may impact our future. But, Ike warned us:
The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system-ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.
The eventual rot of the scientific community was further codified and incentivized with the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980. This legislation allowed intellectual property arising from federal government funded research in universities to pursue ownership of the invention. In other words, scientists at federally funded universities can apply for and receive federally funded (our tax dollars) grants for their research. If they develop a marketable product the scientists then can patent their technology and receive private financial benefit. Hard to imagine what could ever go wrong with this scheme 🙄 (said with much sarcasm).
Now fast forward sixty years from Eisenhower’s warning and we can see the damage of mixing the government with our medical industries. I came across this article from Newsweek admitting that Ike had predicted the eventual likes of Fauci.
If it wasn't obvious before, the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that science has become thoroughly politicized. Though normally focused on observable and verifiable causes and effects in the natural world, many scientists, especially government employed ones, have taken on a political role and have shaped scientific findings in the service of those political ends. The truth eventually came out, but at a massive cost to people's mental health, finances and trust. President Dwight Eisenhower foresaw this abuse by government scientists, and he shows us the way out.
What would have happened if this author had written his opinion piece two years ago? Why is he able to be so bold now to put this out to the world by a Pharma funded news source? Curious!
One reason that so few infectious disease scientists disagreed with Fauci is quite simple: the power of money. America offers around $5 billion per year to support infectious disease research, and almost all of it runs through the agency led by Collins and Fauci. Any infectious disease researcher would therefore be disinclined to run afoul of Dr. Fauci, as future grant funding or professional advancement may depend on the director's approval. Grants like those from NIAID give the project a stamp of legitimacy and open the door to other supporters. This system offers Fauci monopoly-like power over infectious disease research.
A pivot towards government research grants need not remove "the solitary inventor" from the picture. Those inventors may not be able to conduct the research on their own, but they can surely analyze the data. Government funded scientific data should always be open for scrutiny, because transparency enables the curious to understand the truth for themselves. Time and again, public officials attempted to force consensus over COVID. Government funded research that encourages competition and debate, rather than uniformity of thought, can help us figure out the truth.
Emphasis was added to the final sentence! There is a group of doctors/scientists requesting the Pfizer documents the FDA thoroughly reviewed for approval of Cominarty but the government is requesting 75 years to produce said documents. Fortunately a federal judge has denied the FDA’s request but the fact that our government even tried these shenanigans should concern EVERY LAST ONE OF US! Scientific discovery is constantly evolving, ever changing and NO ONE has the monopoly on it.
I was truly stunned at the honesty of this article coming from Newsweek. More discussion must be had regarding the disastrous relationship of science being the bed partner with government. I have heard that we are far beyond reform in this country, we will need a revolution to change our ways and end this destructive behavior.

This is for the generations that come after us. We may see small benefits in our lifetime but we must stand up and take control or our children will never know the comfortable freedoms we used to enjoy.
I saw my hacksxxinated associate today who required me to wear a mask because he doesn't want to get my cooties
That there shows the hacksxxxine ain't no vaxxine at all.
The mask makes me ill in my tummy when I'm forced to use it
Unsmiley face
I was ill few weeks back, a rarity for me
I think I got it from another hacksxxxinated associate ,, or, rollout of 5g to support terrain theory possibly
So I took melatonin
