Question: Are scientists stooges for a consumerist society run amok,
selling out the secrets of uranium and enabling tyrant governments to
control every aspect of our lives?

In Sibling Society (1996) Robert Bly astutely describes American culture as
one of children who have never matured into adulthood, and where "adults
cling to self-absorbed adolescent values, television talk shows have more
clout than elders, children are spiritually abandoned to fend for
themselves, and in the place of community we have built shopping malls."
Only adolescents believe that they can have anything they want.

It's no secret that millions of human beings hate America. A large part of
the Islamic hatred of the west is because of our cultural sewage.

the elite super rich excesses and the destruction of their culture by
consumerism, all brought to them courtesy of the unrestrained Gods of

People continue to saw away on the homily that religion is the root of all
evil, when perhaps they should be looking at themselves. They continue to
regurgitate on the horrors of 700 years ago, as if it is really relevant to
the problems of today. It is irresponsible science that has killed more
people in the 20th century by far than religion in the all the centuries
prior.

foreseen the ultimate possible use of it by jihadists in the future? Islam
is a pragmatic faith whose outrage tends to be expressed in bold acts of
extreme violence. Worse yet, it nurtures an eschatology where the faithful
have a duty to START armageddon - not just wait for it as mainline
Christians do. Science has handed them the keys to fulfill their prophecy.

The cold war and consumerism and pollution and government intrusion and
nuclear annihilation and overpopulation- the greatest threats to mankind-
are the direct products of science serving the needs of greed and
capitalism.

Consider 9/11 not as some oddball conspiracy of "Jewish bankers" or "George
Bush's plot to invade Iraq." How about a scenario simply of frustrated
people LASHING out like frightened animals at an alien monster of
electronics and money. In their anger, they turned against it the most
advanced symbols of its technology. And ultimately they destroyed no one
but those who are just as much victims as anyone. Jihadists will continue
to lash out, again and again and again until they create a cheesy, low-tech
holocaust with the help of rogue science.

regurgitate on the horrors of 700 years ago, as if it is really relevant to
the problems of today. It is irresponsible science that has killed more
people in the 20th century by far than religion in the all the centuries

weapons for money. Scientists today place the newest technology in the

The cold war and consumerism and pollution and government intrusion and
nuclear annihilation and overpopulation- the greatest threats to mankind-
are the direct products of science serving the needs of greed and
capitalism. The philosophical derivatives of humanistic, so-called
"scientific" social models have enslaved billions upon billions of people
under communism. Whenever I consider the quack Karl Marx, I cannot but
laugh aloud at his self-proclaimed "science" of "dialectics." Have you
noticed how much that word sounds like one invented by the equally quackish
founder of Scientology?

Consider 9/11 not as some oddball conspiracy of "Jewish bankers" or "George
Bush's plot to invade Iraq." How about a scenario simply of frustrated
people LASHING out like frightened animals at an alien monster of

It will be the ultimate marriage of religion and science.
