Noah Carl
Rarely has the power asymmetry between the academic mob and its victim been so stark. Dr Carl is a young researcher, just starting out in his career, who is being mobbed for being awarded a prestigious research scholarship on the basis of his peer-reviewed research.
While getting a position like this is normally a time for celebration for junior academics, Dr Carl has gone to ground, unable to defend his reputation from libellous attacks, as he has been instructed not to talk to the media.
Three hundred academics from around the world, many of them professors, have signed an open letter denouncing Dr Carl and demanding that the University of Cambridge "immediately conduct an investigation into the appointment process" on the grounds that his work is "ethically suspect" and "methodologically flawed." The letter states: "we are shocked that a body of work that includes vital errors in data analysis and interpretation appears to have been taken seriously." Yet the letter contains no evidence of any academic misconduct. It does not include a single reference to any of Dr Carl's papers, let alone any papers that are "ethically suspect" or "methodologically flawed."
Comment: So Trump recently declared the withdrawal of US troops from Syria, shortly after repeated US airstrikes in the region, and yet visits troops in Iraq on 26th December saying that they'll be staying in Iraq because "we could use this as the base if we wanted to do something in Syria". Meanwhile, their partner in crime, Israel, ramps up their belligerence towards Lebanon; Afghanistan suffers a surge of incursions by the Taliban, Libya from attacks by ISIS; the US & UK backed Saudi's continue their war on Yemen, and the Western-backed neo-Nazi's in Ukraine threaten to provoke Russia, again, in the Kerch strait.
With this relentless Western-linked chaos creation, is it any wonder Russia is celebrating the successful launch of their Avangard weapon system??
