"WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration is clamping down on scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey, the latest agency subjected to controls on research that might go against official policy.
New rules require screening of all facts and interpretations by agency scientists who study everything from caribou mating to global warming. The rules apply to all scientific papers and other public documents, even minor reports or prepared talks, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.
Top officials at the Interior Department's scientific arm say the rules only standardize what scientists must do to ensure the quality of their work and give a heads-up to the agency's public relations staff.
"This is not about stifling or suppressing our science, or politicizing our science in any way," Barbara Wainman, the agency's director of communications, said Wednesday. "I don't have approval authority. What it was designed to do is to improve our product flow.""
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1152AP_Bush_Scientists.html?source=mypiAs always, the truth is inconvenient to Bushhitler, so scientists must be gagged. We're returning to the days when scientists were persecuted for speaking the truth. That will set back our technological and scientific development for who knows how many years. But I'm sure Bush approves of that, as long as he gets to be dictator.
This is one subject that totally and completely disgusts me. EVERYTHING we do is based on science. Reigning in scientific discovery has massive implications for our future. Soon, we'll be reversing technological development because it doesn't fit the Bush agenda. No computers for YOU folks who spread all that Democratic terrorist ideology. The people will only receive messages from the Bush Ministry of Propaganda.
It's nothing short of mind control. 1984, here we come.
