Lies, Damned Lies, and Medical Science
Lies, Damned Lies, and Medical Science
By DAVID H. FREEDMAN
Much of what medical researchers conclude in their studies is misleading, exaggerated, or flat-out wrong. So why are doctors-to a striking extent-still drawing upon misinformation in their everyday practice? Dr. John Ioannidis has spent his career challenging his peers by exposing their bad science.
...
Ioannidis ... [is] one of the world's foremost experts on the credibility of medical research. He and his team have shown, again and again, and in many different ways, that much of what biomedical researchers conclude in published studies-conclusions that doctors keep in mind when they prescribe antibiotics or blood-pressure medication, or when they advise us to consume more fiber or less meat, or when they recommend surgery for heart disease or back pain-is misleading, exaggerated, and often flat-out wrong. He charges that as much as 90 percent of the published medical information that doctors rely on is flawed. His work has been widely accepted by the medical community; it has been published in the field's top journals, where it is heavily cited; and he is a big draw at conferences. Given this exposure, and the fact that his work broadly targets everyone else's work in medicine, as well as everything that physicians do and all the health advice we get, Ioannidis may be one of the most influential scientists alive. Yet for all his influence, he worries that the field of medical research is so pervasively flawed, and so riddled with conflicts of interest, that it might be chronically resistant to change-or even to publicly admitting that there's a problem. ...

The Hidden History of Marx and Engels.
Below is given a selection of quotes taken from various books and websites, not a comprehensive list by any measure, but indicative of what the Founding Fathers of Marxist Communist Collectivism were thinking and advocating. I've debated this material with several Marx-friendly associates and friends, and in every case they were adamant that Marx and Engels were good and decent sorts, while all blame for the horrors of the Russian Revolution, and later communist tyranny elsewhere, falls to the likes of Stalin and Mao Zedong. Certainly, those latter two dictators perfected the arts of communist slaughter. However, the quotes given below are prima facia evidence that both Marx and Engels knew very exactly that, in order for their communism to work, it had to be pushed into society with extreme violence, and also to undertake a "revolutionary holocaust" of the "racial trash" and "counter-revolutionary" peoples who would have the audacity to refuse the communist utopia.
Criticisms have been mounted against these quotes to follow, such as:
1. They are cherry-picked. Certainly the quotes to follow are selected out from their publications for the sole reason of their alarming nature. But there are no other group of publications which stand as a corrective, and which are being ignored. Did these men issue retractions or corrections? No. Not once so far as I can determine. If a man curses "Jews" and "nig*ers", and rages that whole ethnic groups and peoples he doesn't like should be exterminated, and does so in not just private letters but in published articles which get widely circulated among his followers - but never once says "Oh God what a stupid thing I just said", or "I was drunk or feeling awful and must retract that" - then should we ignore those statements as uncharacteristic? Should we rest easy with the claim that the quotes are "cherry picked" in an effort to say, the quotes don't really mean what they say?
2. They are mistranslated No, the quotes are accurate, and it is up to the defenders of Marx-Engels to clarify exactly where some problem might exist in translation. These materials are often found on pro-Marx and pro-Communism websites, so the hard-left people certainly don't have much problem with them. In fact, I will argue, that genocidal butchery of their enemies today - the conservatives, religious people, "counter-revolutionaries", capitalists, and so on - is a part of their current agendas and goals.
3. They are isolated examples without meaning to larger Marxist theory. The example is given, if Picasso or Van Gogh were Jew-haters and black-racists, muttering ethnic hatreds to commit genocide, this would not undervalue their art. Or if Edison or Ford held anti-Jewish sentiments (and with Ford, it was very true!) that this would not negate their inventions. This certainly has some truth. But Marx and Engels were not inventors of devices or artwork irrelevant to their social ideas. They helped create social movements and proposed new collectivist social institutions which, in detailed arguments and theory, laid out how this or that ethnic group was to be treated. They anticipated that certain ethnic groups or populations would resist collectivism, and so understood the "necessity" for mass-murder to implement their cherished communism. It was understood, their utopian goals and aspirations could only be implemented by great violence. And indeed, history shows great violence was used in every single case where Marxist Communism was implemented. So the statements of Marx and Engels openly advocating social violence as a "means to the ends", are extremely important and there is no reason one should shy away from taking them at their word. The importance is ten-fold increased when considering how modern Marxists try to white-wash the crimes of the communist dictatorships, even while trying to re-institute new Socialism, as a precursor to later Communism, within the world's liberal democratic republics today.
Personally speaking, I feel these quotes must be taken at face value, that the writers meant what they said. There's no need to look for "hidden meanings" and they cannot be softened down in meaning or intention by excuse-making. It is all quite transparently clear what they mean. And this becomes especially clear when one considers what Marxist-communism became in every single case it was undertaken: A totalitarian nightmare of mass-murder and enslavement of entire nations and peoples, with a wiping out of the middle class.
The theme of murder and chaos being necessary for communism to succeed, that "counter-revolutionaries" and certain whole racial or ethnic groups were low-life scum who should be eradicated, and that democracy, liberty and freedom were contemptible institutions, all got started with Marx and Engels. The quotes below document how this ugly attitude towards the "non-believer" in Marxism got started with Marx and his earliest followers, and was not something added-on or invented years later by Lenin or Stalin. It therefore proves the structural nature of genocidal violence right within the core of Marxist thought. Taking away private property from entire social groups, for example, cannot proceed without extreme violence involving thugs with guns who shoot dead those who resist. And this is hardly different from a street criminal who demands a stranger hand over his wallet, with threat of bodily harm or murder.
Today, the Marxist left tries to conceal these ugly facts, even while making political alliances with totalitarians overseas, in the hard-communist and Islamic nations. The hard-left also is today the major carrier of the virus of Jew-hatred, even if black racism has been fairly well eradicated in most of the USA and Europe. But one cannot say that the hard-left is particularly helpful for the aspirations and well-being of black Americans, or any other social group. The message as it is handed down to us from Marx-Engels (and Trotsky also, as I will expose in another communication later on) is one of immense hatred against minority groups across the board, and this attitude has been transmitted and preserved down the years by all kinds of Marxist, communist and socialist organizations. So everyone at the leadership level of the hard-left groups knows fully well, that extreme violence is anticipated and expected in order for their Marxism to "work", even if public propaganda to win over the "workers" and the contemptuously treated (but manipulated) "lumpenproletariat" promises everyone the Moon, or Heaven on Earth. What they got was always just the opposite. Prison states where a living Hell was created.
A simple consideration of the Marx-Engels book-pamphlet Communist Manifesto, perhaps the most widely read of their publications, reinforces this critical understanding. The central tenets and points for institution of any authentically Marxist communist state would clearly require extreme violence with mass-killings to put it into place. Ordinary people, world-wide, want to enjoy the fruits of their own labor, to control their own lives and destiny, and this demands that THEY, "the people" retain ownership of their own private property. And there is a value to having wealthy people also, as only they have the power to stand up to the power of The State, when the State is taken over by power-drunk bullies and criminals. And if there is collective social actions to use their property for the common good, as with honest taxation through representative government, those ordinary people want a say in who is elected, and so forth. The "dictatorship of the proletariat" is merely a sham for Red Fascism, a committee of petty pistolero dictators, out of which one of them will certainly prove to be the most ruthless of the bunch, and rise to the top. Only "they", the proletariat pistoleros get to become the dictators. Everyone else gets to become a slave of the State, under Marxist organization - and both Marx and Engels knew this well, and both argued and organized for it, even while their primary books Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital make only cloaked references to such methods and agendas, and did not include the kinds of terrible racist genodical talk as I document below.
Perhaps serfs and slaves living under rigid Tzars or other dictators might find the Communist Party something appealing. Maybe some living under Islamic tyranny would find a Communist tyranny a bit more expansive, and certainly this might be true for women, who currently live as slaves within Islamic nations. But in every case, the people who rallied around the Marxist-Communist flag suffered just as much as those who did not, from the Great Betrayal of life, love, and freedom, known as Communist Socialism.
The Meaning of the Marx-Engels Quotations to Wilhelm Reich's "Work Democracy"
To those friendly to the work of Wilhelm Reich, as I am myself, and who note Reich's own embrace of Marxism during his early life, and his rejection of Stalinism and the Communist disasters - from my detailed review of the matter, it seems clear Reich did not know of these quotations. So far as I can determine, there are no references to any of the books or journal materials in which these quotations appeared, in any of Reich's writings, neither the actual quotations nor citations to the articles in which they appeared. This is not unexpected, since the various genocide quotes were written mostly in private letters, foreign newspapers and published articles by Marx and Engels long before Reich was born, rather than into their several major books which were widely read by Marxists of that day. But I would also argue, the leadership of Marxists and Communist Party movements around the world knew this material, even as contained in the private correspondence of Marx-Engels, which were hoarded and safeguarded by those Marxist movements, who translated them into multiple languages and distributed them world-wide. The genocide quotations appear to have conditioned the tone and agendas of Marxist movements, and also became a part of the spoken tradition of Marxism. The exact personal writings and obscure publications of Marx-Engels have always been hoarded and poured over for enlightenment by the most deep core believers in Marxism, much as religious people pour over their respective holy books, from which guidance is obtained.
But Reich's ideas on free human societies came more from Malinowski's writings on the Trobriand Islands, and A.S. Neill's work with free schools in England, as well as from his deep background in Freudian psychoanalysis, and his own new clinical and social findings. All of these carried an emphasis upon human sexuality, love, the needs of mothers and babies, and of children, and all in a language which was foreign to the typical Marxist sentiments and jargon. One might find the occasional mention in Marxist literature, where such issues as Reich raised were given some scant appreciation. But mostly, women and children were to become merely emotionless cogs in a Marxist machinery. And for those very reasons, Reich progressively began to distance himself from the rigid tenets of Marxist economic determinism, and became anti-communist in sentiments, starting shortly after his first visit to the Soviet Union in 1929. From then onwards, it became increasingly clear to him that the Soviets and German communists were anti-freedom in basic nature, and not just on the issues of sexual freedom or the raising of healthy children, which was of foremost importance to Reich. And the suspicious sentiments were mutual. The Communist Party of Germany expelled Reich from their membership around the same time. We also know some things today that Reich did not, namely that the NKVD (forerunner of the KGB) was tracking Reich thereafter when he moved from Germany into Scandinavia, putting him on a death-list. And we know also how American communists went after Reich with a vengeance following the 1946 publication of an English version of his Mass Psychology of Fascism, which spoke about communists as Red Fascist, exposing their anti-freedom agendas. For details and citations on that, see my article
New Evidence on the Persecution and Death of Wilhelm Reich
While Reich continued to believe Marx had some important things to offer the world all the way to the end of his life, he powerfully rejected the "ism" of Marx. He became a staunch anti-Communist and loathed the deceitful left-wing and sneaky fascist-apologist sentiments of liberalism. I would lay the argument, if Reich had known of the material which follows, these horrible quotes from Marx and Engels advocating genocide and expressing outrageous race-hatred, he would probably have reacted with revulsion - as I and many others have - and then fully dissociated himself from Marx and Marxist thinking. And from there, with a bit of research, Reich could have discovered what others have, that "Marxist" claims on dialectic materialism, which were productively used in Reich's own thinking and experiments and later emerged as the important method of orgonomic functionalism, was factually developed into Western philosophy well before Marx and Engels. Such ideas began at least as early as the ancient Greeks. Marx and Engels were not the originators of those useful concepts, no more than they originated the "value added" concept, which was known and understood by every exploited laborer or craftsman since the ancient times of feudalism. Neither Marx nor Engels were the originators of the many social-reform movements, which pre-dated them and in fact blossomed into the public consciousness with generalized rebellion and revolution against the power of Kings going back hundreds of years. The American and French Revolutions were two such social movements which owe nothing to Marx or Engels, and many others followed. Marxists everywhere exploited those social-freedom movements, however, generally by use of lies and skullduggery, shooting their way into power, and diverting them from freedom-oriented goals towards their own bloody dictatorial ends.
By my own impression, Marx and Engels come off as rather disgusting characters filled with hatred for the whole world, and just boiling over with a rage and lust for power, and really wanting a big bloody genocidal war, to "punish the non-believers" who had rejected their beloved communism. Nobody here would want them to baby-sit their children, much less turn to them for guidance on how the world should be run, or hand them the keys to power. And virtually every Marxist social movement which was successful in grabbing power behaved in a manner congruent with this unflattering picture of the two men, as emerges from their own lesser-known writings.
More will be said on this in a later context, but for now, it becomes increasingly important that the unmasked and true characters of Marx and Engels be understood by all those who currently view them as "friends of the worker" or "friends of human freedom". They were not.
More later. Read and learn.

PS. If anyone cares to try and refute any of the quotations given below, they are welcome to send me whatever documentation they feel requires a change or retraction. My commitment here is to the facts, not to any political ideology, save for exposure of certain dangerous political agendas which are currently at work on the global scene. If warranted, I will make whatever changes are necessary such that this essay remains true to the facts of history, even if that means nearly all the quotes were wrong, and I would be proven 100% wrong. However, if all the critic can do is to repeat the kinds of "reasons why these quotes should be ignored" and which merely repeat the excuses already given above, then I should feel justified to leave everything here unchanged. I should also claim, as Reich did himself, "the right to be wrong, without being hung by the neck for it." Having said that, however, I have a high confidence that nothing is wrong with either the presentation of quotations below, nor in my interpretation as to their meaning. Though if the Marxists ever do grab full power, they would surely try to hang me for it anyway.
Within the next week, I shall also post this entire essay to a new OBRL webpage, where it can be indexed by the various search engines. In the meanwhile, it will remain available via the OBRL-blog at wordpress.

Organized Chronologically
Additions or corrections are welcomed.
NOTE: This is not an exhaustive list. It was gathered from various internet sites where others had already done most of the work, and from a half-dozen books in the author's library. It should only be considered a bare-bones start of research into the question of the Marx-Engels responsibility for, and willful planning for, what tyrants and useful idiots call the "Communist Utopia" but which the rest of honest humanity will know as the "Revolutionary Holocaust", which claimed over 100 million lives in the 20th Century.
Reference sources and websites are given where additional information, often including the original German language and context, can be found. Most all of these quotes are found at the marxist.org website, with English translations, and are very much favored to and promoting of communism. Other with either identical of slightly different translation come from George Watson, from the marxwords.blogspot.com website, and are critical of communism. Nevertheless, they both pretty much agree on the content of the quotations, even if they develop radically different interpretations of their importance and meaning. My native German-speaking wife, and several of my friends in Germany have also read the German originals, and inform me these Marx-Engels quotes carry an even greater viciousness and repellent tone in the original German, than they do in the English translations, which tends to soften them down somewhat.
I also feel compelled to issue an apology to the reader for the necessity to quote verbatim the more extreme race-hatred quotations of Marx and Engels. But there is no getting around this problem, and for me to try and soften their words or to delete their expletives would detract from both their intensity and meanings.
Read and decide for yourself.

True, it is a fixed idea with the French that the Rhine is their property, but to this arrogant demand the only reply worthy of the German nation is Arndt's: "Give back Alsace and Lorraine". For I am of the opinion, perhaps in contrast to many whose standpoint I share in other respects, that the reconquest of the German-speaking left bank of the Rhine is a matter of national honour, and that the Germanisation of a disloyal Holland and of Belgium is a political necessity for us. Shall we let the German nationality be completely suppressed in these countries, while the Slavs are rising ever more powerfully in the East?

The French Revolution was the rise of democracy in Europe. Democracy is, as I take all forms of government to be, a contradiction in itself, an untruth, nothing but hypocrisy (theology, as we Germans call it), at the bottom. Political liberty is sham-liberty, the worst possible sort of slavery; the appearance of liberty, and therefore the worst servitude. Just so also is political equality for me; therefore democracy, as well as every other form of government, must ultimately break to pieces.

As for slavery, there is no need for me to speak of its bad aspects. The only thing requiring explanation is the good side of slavery. I do not mean indirect slavery, the slavery of proletariat; I mean direct slavery, the slavery of the Blacks in Surinam, in Brazil, in the southern regions of North America. Direct slavery is as much the pivot upon which our present-day industrialism turns as are machinery, credit, etc. Š Slavery is therefore an economic category of paramount importance.

Among all the nations and sub-nations of Austria, only three standard-bearers of progress took an active part in history, and are still capable of life - the Germans, the Poles and the Magyars. Hence they are now revolutionary. All the other large and small nationalities and peoples are destined to perish before long in the revolutionary holocaust ["world storm" ? J.D.] For that reason they are now counter-revolutionary. Š these residual fragments of peoples always become fanatical standard-bearers of counter-revolution and remain so until their complete extirpation or loss of their national characterŠ [A general war will] wipe out all these racial trash [Völkerabfälle - original was given at Marxist websites as "petty hidebound nations" J.D.] down to their very names. The next world war will result in the disappearance from the face of the earth not only of reactionary classes and dynasties, but also of entire reactionary peoples. And that, too, is a step forward.

But this website is run by devoted communists who, by the complaints of others, have censored or altered materials unflattering to key founding figures of communism. Some translations also use the term "revolutionary world storm" instead of "revolutionary holocaust", though by what I am informed from native German speakers, they both have about the same meaning. The word "Holocaust" has been pinned so exclusively to the Nazis, however, there seems to be a reluctance in some quarters to see this word put into the mouth of the founding figures of communism. However, such a word clearly is suitable when referencing what the communists actually did once they got power. The Stalinists and Maoists in fact created a much bigger "Holocaust" in their respective nations than did the followers of Hitler. J.D.

Germans and Magyars [of the Austro-Hungarian Empire] untied all these small, stunted and impotent little nations into a single big state and thereby enabled them to take part in a historical development from which, left to themselves, they would have remained completely aloof! Of course, matters of this kind cannot be accomplished without many a tender national blossom being forcibly broken. But in history nothing is achieved without violence and implacable ruthlessness... In short, it turns out these "crimes" of the Germans and Magyars against the said Slavs are among the best and most praiseworthy deeds which our and the Magyar people can boast in their history.

Thus we find every tyrant backed by a Jew, as is every pope by a Jesuit. In truth, the cravings of oppressors would be hopeless, and the practicability of war out of the question, if there were not an army of Jesuits to smother thought and a handful of Jews to ransack pockets.
Š the real work is done by the Jews, and can only be done by them, as they monopolize the machinery of the loan-mongering mysteries by concentrating their energies upon the barter trade in securitiesŠ Here and there and everywhere that a little capital courts investment, there is ever one of these little Jews ready to make a little suggestion or place a little bit of a loan. The smartest highwayman in the Abruzzi is not better posted up about the locale of the hard cash in a traveler's valise or pocket than those Jews about any loose capital in the hands of a traderŠ The language spoken smells strongly of Babel, and the perfume which otherwise pervades the place is by no means of a choice kind.
Š Thus do these loans, which are a curse to the people, a ruin to the holders, and a danger to the governments, become a blessing to the houses of the children of Judah. This Jew organization of loan-mongers is as dangerous to the people as the aristocratic organization of landownersŠ The fortunes amassed by these loan-mongers are immense, but the wrongs and sufferings thus entailed on the people and the encouragement thus afforded to their oppressors still remain to be told.
Š The fact that 1855 years ago Christ drove the Jewish moneychangers out of the temple, and that the moneychangers of our age enlisted on the side of tyranny happen again chiefly to be Jews, is perhaps no more than a historical coincidence. The loan-mongering Jews of Europe do only on a larger and more obnoxious scale what many others do on one smaller and less significant.

...the Jewish Nigger, Lassalle... it is now completely clear to me that he, as is proved by his cranial formation and his hair, descends from the Negroes from Egypt, assuming that his mother or grandmother had not interbred with a nigger. Now this union of Judaism and Germanism with a basic Negro substance must produce a peculiar product. The obtrusiveness of the fellow is also nigger-like.

The most interesting acquaintanceship I have struck up here is that of Colonel Lapinski. He is without doubt the cleverest Pole - besides being an homme d'action [man of action] - that I have ever met. His sympathies are all on the German side, though in manners and speech he is also a Frenchman. He cares nothing for the struggle of nationalities and only knows the racial struggle. He hates all Orientals, among whom he numbers Russians Turks, Greeks, Armenians, etc., with equal impartiality.... His aim now is to raise a German legion in London...

I have arrived at the conviction that there is nothing to his [Tremaux's] theory if for no other reason than because he neither understands geology nor is capable of the most ordinary literary historical criticism. One could laugh oneself sick about his stories of the nigger Santa Maria and of the transmutations of the whites into Negroes. Especially, that the traditions of the Senegal niggers deserve absolute credulity, just because the rascals cannot write! . . . Perhaps this man will prove in the second volume, how he explains the fact, that we Rhinelanders have not long ago turned into idiots and niggers on our own Devonian Transition rocks . . . Or perhaps he will maintain that we are real niggers.

The French need a thrashing. If the Prussians win, the centralisation of the state power will be useful for the centralisation of the German working class. German predominance would also transfer the centre of gravity of the workers' movement in Western Europe from France to Germany, and one has only to compare the movement in the two countries from 1866 till now to see that the German working class is superior to the French both theoretically and organisationally. Their predominance over the French on the world stage would also mean the predominance of our theory over Proudhon's, etc.

Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is an act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon, all of which are highly authoritarian means. And the victorious party must maintain its rule by means of the terror which its arms inspire in the reactionaries. Would the Paris Commune have lasted more than a day if it had not used the authority of the armed people against the bourgeoisie? Cannot we, on the contrary, blame it for having made too little use of that authority?

That a host of somewhat muddled and purely democratic demands should figure in the programme, some of them being of a purely fashionable nature - for instance "legislation by the people" such as exists in Switzerland and does more harm than good, if it can be said to do anything at all.... Now, since the state is merely a transitional institution of which use is made in the struggle, in the revolution, to keep down one's enemies by force, it is utter madness to speak of a free people's state; so long as the proletariat still makes use of the state, it makes use of it, not for the purpose of freedom, but of keeping down its enemies.

The compromise with the followers of Lassalle has also led to compromises with other half-baked elements, (Š) but also with a whole gang of immature students and overly wise PhDs who want to give a "higher, ideal" twist to socialism, i.e. to replace its materialistic foundation through modern mythology with their goddesses of Justice, Liberty, Equality and fraternité [brotherhood] .... The workers themselves, when they give up working and become professional literati like Mr. Most and his ilk, always incite "theoretical" trouble and are always ready to attach themselves to muddleheads from the alleged "learned" caste.

Being in his quality as a nigger, a degree nearer to the rest of the animal kingdom than the rest of us, he is undoubtedly the most appropriate representative of that district.
- Letter from Frederich Engels to Karl Marx's daughter, Laura, speaking about her husband Paul Lafargue, April 1887, who ran for public office in a district holding the Paris Zoo. Engels felt license to write such filth to Laura (Marx) Lafargue, because Karl Marx himself had violently opposed her marriage to "a nigger". Marx referenced Lafargue as "the little negro" or "the gorilla". Jenny Marx, the mother, wrote to Engels that she hoped her daughter would not have "ten little nigger boys". Apparently this kind of hard-racism ran in the Marx family, except for Laura Marx.

The devastations of the Thirty Years' War compressed into three or four years, and spread over the whole Continent; famine, pestilence, general demoralisation both of the armies and of the mass of the people produced by acute distress; hopeless confusion of our artificial machinery in trade, industry and credit, ending in general bankruptcy; collapse of the old states and their traditional state wisdom to such an extent that crowns will roll by dozens on the pavement and there will be no body to pick them up; absolute impossibility of foreseeing how it will all end and who will come out of the struggle as victor; only one result is absolutely certain: general exhaustion and the establishment of the conditions for the ultimate victory of the working class.

"Never Blame the Left", by George Watson
There are many other quotes from Engels expressing contempt and arrogant moral superiority towards other groups, such as the Slavs, the natives of India and China ("heredity stupidity"), Irish ("little above the savage...favoring drunkenness... a people related in their whole character to the Latin nations, to the French, and especially to the Italians"), Scandinavians ("rudeness... perpetual drunkenness"), Balkan peoples ("This miserable debris of former nations, Serbs, Bulgarians, Greeks and other thieving rabble, whom the liberal Philistine raves about in the interest of the Russians, deny each other the very air they are breathing, and have to slit each others' greedy throats."), Turks ("This splendid territory has the misfortune to be inhabited by a conglomerate of different races and nationalities, of which it is hard to say which is the least fit for progress and civilization." ) etc.

George Watson made note that Marx and Engels typically used the English pejorative "nigger" which was well known as extremely derogatory among authentic social reformers at that time, in addition to occasionally also using the benign "negro". Even in the mid-1800s, given the struggles by some Christian groups to abolish the black slavery which existed in the Americas and Europe, abolition was a hot topic in newspapers. The rights of man and issues about equality and race-theory were hotly discussed. The British Empire abolished slavery in 1833. So Marx and Engels were expressing clearly racist attitudes for those times, using language most educated people were dropping away in public discourse, and which social reformers would have denounced them for using. But... as we see from their quotations, they didn't care much for the fate of black slaves, nor for the "bleeding hearts" of authentic liberals.

Hal Lewis: My Resignation From The American Physical Society
From: Hal Lewis, University of California, Santa Barbara
To: Curtis G. Callan, Jr., Princeton University, President of the American Physical Society
6 October 2010
Dear Curt:
When I first joined the American Physical Society sixty-seven years ago it was much smaller, much gentler, and as yet uncorrupted by the money flood (a threat against which Dwight Eisenhower warned a half-century ago). Indeed, the choice of physics as a profession was then a guarantor of a life of poverty and abstinence---it was World War II that changed all that. The prospect of worldly gain drove few physicists. As recently as thirty-five years ago, when I chaired the first APS study of a contentious social/scientific issue, The Reactor Safety Study, though there were zealots aplenty on the outside there was no hint of inordinate pressure on us as physicists. We were therefore able to produce what I believe was and is an honest appraisal of the situation at that time. We were further enabled by the presence of an oversight committee consisting of Pief Panofsky, Vicki Weisskopf, and Hans Bethe, all towering physicists beyond reproach. I was proud of what we did in a charged atmosphere. In the end the oversight committee, in its report to the APS President, noted the complete independence in which we did the job, and predicted that the report would be attacked from both sides. What greater tribute could there be?
How different it is now. The giants no longer walk the earth, and the money flood has become the raison d'être of much physics research, the vital sustenance of much more, and it provides the support for untold numbers of professional jobs. For reasons that will soon become clear my former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years has been turned into shame, and I am forced, with no pleasure at all, to offer you my resignation from the Society.
It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare. (Montford's book organizes the facts very well.) I don't believe that any real physicist, nay scientist, can read that stuff without revulsion. I would almost make that revulsion a definition of the word scientist.
So what has the APS, as an organization, done in the face of this challenge? It has accepted the corruption as the norm, and gone along with it. For example:
1. About a year ago a few of us sent an e-mail on the subject to a fraction of the membership. APS ignored the issues, but the then President immediately launched a hostile investigation of where we got the e-mail addresses. In its better days, APS used to encourage discussion of important issues, and indeed the Constitution cites that as its principal purpose. No more. Everything that has been done in the last year has been designed to silence debate
2. The appallingly tendentious APS statement on Climate Change was apparently written in a hurry by a few people over lunch, and is certainly not representative of the talents of APS members as I have long known them. So a few of us petitioned the Council to reconsider it. One of the outstanding marks of (in)distinction in the Statement was the poison word incontrovertible, which describes few items in physics, certainly not this one. In response APS appointed a secret committee that never met, never troubled to speak to any skeptics, yet endorsed the Statement in its entirety. (They did admit that the tone was a bit strong, but amazingly kept the poison word incontrovertible to describe the evidence, a position supported by no one.) In the end, the Council kept the original statement, word for word, but approved a far longer "explanatory" screed, admitting that there were uncertainties, but brushing them aside to give blanket approval to the original. The original Statement, which still stands as the APS position, also contains what I consider pompous and asinine advice to all world governments, as if the APS were master of the universe. It is not, and I am embarrassed that our leaders seem to think it is. This is not fun and games, these are serious matters involving vast fractions of our national substance, and the reputation of the Society as a scientific society is at stake.
3. In the interim the ClimateGate scandal broke into the news, and the machinations of the principal alarmists were revealed to the world. It was a fraud on a scale I have never seen, and I lack the words to describe its enormity. Effect on the APS position: none. None at all. This is not science; other forces are at work.
4. So a few of us tried to bring science into the act (that is, after all, the alleged and historic purpose of APS), and collected the necessary 200+ signatures to bring to the Council a proposal for a Topical Group on Climate Science, thinking that open discussion of the scientific issues, in the best tradition of physics, would be beneficial to all, and also a contribution to the nation. I might note that it was not easy to collect the signatures, since you denied us the use of the APS membership list. We conformed in every way with the requirements of the APS Constitution, and described in great detail what we had in mind---simply to bring the subject into the open.
5. To our amazement, Constitution be damned, you declined to accept our petition, but instead used your own control of the mailing list to run a poll on the members' interest in a TG on Climate and the Environment. You did ask the members if they would sign a petition to form a TG on your yet-to-be-defined subject, but provided no petition, and got lots of affirmative responses. (If you had asked about sex you would have gotten more expressions of interest.) There was of course no such petition or proposal, and you have now dropped the Environment part, so the whole matter is moot. (Any lawyer will tell you that you cannot collect signatures on a vague petition, and then fill in whatever you like.) The entire purpose of this exercise was to avoid your constitutional responsibility to take our petition to the Council.
6. As of now you have formed still another secret and stacked committee to organize your own TG, simply ignoring our lawful petition.
APS management has gamed the problem from the beginning, to suppress serious conversation about the merits of the climate change claims. Do you wonder that I have lost confidence in the organization?
I do feel the need to add one note, and this is conjecture, since it is always risky to discuss other people's motives. This scheming at APS HQ is so bizarre that there cannot be a simple explanation for it. Some have held that the physicists of today are not as smart as they used to be, but I don't think that is an issue. I think it is the money, exactly what Eisenhower warned about a half-century ago. There are indeed trillions of dollars involved, to say nothing of the fame and glory (and frequent trips to exotic islands) that go with being a member of the club. Your own Physics Department (of which you are chairman) would lose millions a year if the global warming bubble burst. When Penn State absolved Mike Mann of wrongdoing, and the University of East Anglia did the same for Phil Jones, they cannot have been unaware of the financial penalty for doing otherwise. As the old saying goes, you don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing. Since I am no philosopher, I'm not going to explore at just which point enlightened self-interest crosses the line into corruption, but a careful reading of the ClimateGate releases makes it clear that this is not an academic question.
I want no part of it, so please accept my resignation. APS no longer represents me, but I hope we are still friends.

Letter on "Chemtrails"
Dear (deleted),
If I could find even one major component of the chemtrail claims that was supported by proofs or anything solidly empirical or scientific, I might have more sympathy for it. But I cannot, and have a low confidence that you or anyone else could provide anything which withstands serious scrutiny.
The "chemtrail" advocates also today include more outright fraud and photoshopped fabrications in their inventory of claims.
See here:
This contrailscience.com website is the best one I know of to address the issue from an empirical and scientific viewpoint. May I suggest, you spend an evening reading it. The whole thing.
This is also pure poison for orgonomy, given the frequent references to Wilhelm Reich in the chembuster and orgonite "solutions" being claimed in the "battle against chemtrails". You will remember my own webpage covering that aspect of the subject:
Rather than believing in unproven government conspiracies about chemtrails, which require tens of thousands of people to lie and supposedly poison and kill their own loved ones and countrymen, I would suggest to apply your PhD-level capacities and consider it is the smaller number of chemtrail advocates who are the big liars and fraudsters, cherry-picking whatever they find convenient from classical medicine or air pollution research, concocting wild claims and photoshopping fake photos and videos, and other things to support their own grand conspiracy to sell plenty of books and DVDs to all-too-willing believers. In this regard, it is not too different from the widespread 911 conspiracy theories, about an "inside job", or about the "evil Americans using HAARP to create the Indonesian tsunami", or whatever natural disaster happens around the planet. And by no accident, the same people and websites promoting "chemtrails" frequently promote those other things.
I just did a small experiment, a Google search on various words related to these issues, and showing the following numbers of weblinks which came up for each of them:
"chemtrails" 2,800,000 weblinks
"chemtrails + orgone" 200,000 weblinks
"orgonite" 67,600 weblinks
"chemtrails + chembuster" 49,300 weblinks
"chemtrails + wilhelm reich" 43,700 weblinks
"Montauk Project" 38,900 weblinks
"Wilhelm Reich" 396,000 weblinks
"orgone energy accumulator" 89,500 weblinks
"emotional plague" 66,200 weblinks
"orgonomy" 28,900 weblinks
"cancer biopathy" 14,400 weblinks
"infant trauma" 13,500 weblinks
"Wilhelm Reich Museum" 3,920 weblinks
"desert dusts" 2,020 weblinks
"bionous disintegration" 282 weblinks
What this tells me is, orgonomy is being increasingly re-defined by concocted mystical nonsense, and that more people want a de-sexualized orgone energy without social or personal consequences, integrated into fantastic conspiracy theories about shape-shifting space alien reptiles, than who want the original and full measure of Wilhelm Reich's natural science.
Best wishes,
James DeMeo
PS. Along similar lines, the distortion "WR Mysteries of the Organism" brings up 1,210,000 weblinks, while Reich's "Function of the Orgasm" brings up 753,000.
