‘Science’ vs ‘The Science’?

Blog for 27-28 December

As we stumble miserably towards the end of one of the worst years in Britain’s recent history, I thought it might be worth taking a couple of moments to muse upon the difference between ‘Science’ and ‘The Science’.

According to one dictionary definition, ‘Science is the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained.’ So ‘Science’ seems to be a constant process of experimentaion, challenging, testing and learning.

‘The Science’ seems to be something quite different. ‘The Science’ is something which our ruling political, academic and media elites declare to be the one and only truth. It is supposedly ‘settled’, cannot be questioned and anyone who dares question ‘The Science’ is either a crazed conspracy theorist or just like a Holocaust denier and so should be ignored, cancelled, hounded out of their job and banned from ever publishing the results of any of their work.

So, ‘The Science’ is almost the opposite of ‘Science’. This conflict between ‘Science’ and ‘The Science’ and the Establishment’s brutal suppression of anyone questioning ‘The Science’ are, of course, nothing new. We’ll all be familiar with the story of astronomer and mathematical genius Galileo Galilei. When finally brought before the Inquisition for the heresy of claiming that the Sun (not the Earth) was the centre of the universe Galileo was found:

• “vehemently suspect of heresy” (though he was never formally charged with heresy, relieving him of facing corporal punishment), namely of having held the opinions that the Sun lies motionless at the centre of the universe, that the Earth is not at its centre and moves, and that one may hold and defend an opinion as probable after it has been declared contrary to Holy Scripture. He was required to “abjure, curse and detest” those opinions.
• He was sentenced to formal imprisonment at the pleasure of the Inquisition. On the following day, this was commuted to house arrest, under which he remained for the rest of his life.
• His offending Dialogue was banned; and in an action not announced at the trial, publication of any of his works was forbidden, including any he might write in the future

And there are probably many more such historical examples of people being crushed for questioning ‘The Science’. The public excoriation of Charles Darwin after his publication of ‘The Origin of the Species’ springs to mind.

So, is today any different? We seem to be bombarded with many examples of what we are told to accept is ‘The Science’:

• “Diversity is our strength” we are told, when time after time we see that when societies become too diverse they become fragmented, trust falls, different groups fight over resources and Lebanonisation and even civil war is often the result. But if you dare question mass uncontrolled immigration you’re branded a bigot, a racist, a fascist and you’re likely to lose your job and even be imprisoned
• “Increasing CO2 is leading to Global Boiling’ and the only way we can avoid our own extinction is by committing economic suicide through slashing use of fossil fuels, moving to expensive and unreliable supposed ‘renewables’ and becoming dependent on China for manufactured goods. You won’t get far in life, if you try to expose this modern-day end-of-times death cult for the complete nonsense it is
• “Populism is a threat to Democracy” – In Germany the main political parties have tried to have the ever more popular Alternativ fur Deutschland (AfD) banned for supposedly being a ‘threat to democracy’. As Reform increase their share of the polls, we can expect similar attacks on them. To the LibLabCon Uniparty, any challenge to them is “a threat to Democracy”
• There is no difference in IQ between different races” – as I don’t want to be hauled away by Starmer’s Thought Police, I won’t comment on this particular piece of ‘The Science’
• “All cultures are equal” – as in the above point, as I don’t want to be hauled away by Starmer’s Thought Police, I won’t comment on this particular piece of ‘The Science’
• “The Religion of Peace is a peaceful Religion” – as in the above two points, as I don’t want to be hauled away by Starmer’s Thought Police, I won’t comment on this particular piece of ‘The Science’ and so will not list examples of mass slaughter being carried out every single day by people who clearly ‘misunderstand’ the peacefuness of that particular religion
• “The vaccines are safe and effective” we were assured and will prevent you killing granny. Firstly, this is a lie as the vaccines were never tested to see if they reduced transmission of the Chinese lab-leaked plague. And secondly, the vaccines were only slightly effective in reducing the risk of hospital admissions for limited vulnerable groups of people. To force widespread vaccination may well have caused more damage than it prevented.

You can probably think of many more examples where there seems to be a not inconsiderable difference between what ‘The Science’ and ‘Science’ are telling us.

So, to get back to the original question: ‘Is today any different?’

I think it is. I believe that today we are in a world where the beliefs and priorities of the ruling political, academic and media elites are in direct conflict with the beliefs and priorities of the majority of people. The elites believe that countries should no longer exist as they lead to xenophobia and conflict, that borders should be open to mass migration, that all cultures are equal, that the West is somehow inherently evil and exploitative for being so successful when so many other parts of the world have failed, that we would all be better off ruled by transnational globalist bodies like the EU, UN, WEF, WHO etc etc. And so Western ruling elites have constructed a series of lies – ‘The Science’ – to bludgeon us into submission with their world view. Anyone daring to question those lies – ‘The Science’ – by using real ‘Science’ is hounded by the Thought Police, threatened with losing their jobs and forced into silence and even imprisonment.

I doubt whether the gulf between ‘Science’ and ‘The Science’ has ever been larger than it is in our blighted times.
