NAS tipped to run American AUSCHWITZ after Nazi conquest ???

Organized Science, if it knows nothing else (a claim easy to defend), sure knows how to sing for its supper.

That is why Scientism is our one and only God.

Organized Science knows just when to switch sides and to start sucking up to the newest powerful entities in town and it knows just who is powerless enough to safely kick in the teeth.

It also picks its opponents it chooses to publicly battle very carefully so that none of the resulting mud sticks to its priestly skirts.

The NAS choose not to criticize Raymond Loewy's ROCKETPORT vision at the New York's World Fair of 1939-1940----- and silence is assent.

The Rocketport was the most scientifically loony idea at a Fair replete with scientifically loony ideas.

The so called 'Rocket' , a small ocean liner in size, was actually a cannon projectile fired in New York and designed to land in Paris  ------- somehow without the resulting enormous G-Forces mushing everybody inside the projectile into protoplasm.

(Humans might survive 200 Gs all over their body, if its only for a fraction of a second as in a car crash, but this voyage would impose at least 20,000 Gs for a fatally long time, even if we ignore the peak force of about 200,000 Gs at blast-off......)

Loewy got away with his loony tune idea because he claimed it came to him from studying scientific journals (rather than saying he saw it in a vision after praying to the Virgin Mary).

Whether the idea came from the Journal SCIENCE or MATTHEW 12 in the Bible, the idea was equally crazy.

But rest assured that the NAS would only have rushed forward to condemn it as scientifically invalid if the idea  had come from their bete noires in the camp of the dreaded 'Religion'.

The All-American idea of applied negative Eugenics (can you say Auschwitz, boys and girls ?) was a much more damaging loony idea the NAS choose not to publicly attack - until it was far far too late and after eugenics had been already discredited by the march of events in Eastern Europe.

That is what I mean by Science's Bad Faith --- its unwillingness to attack anything as unscientific, no matter how loony or deadly, if doing so risks lowering the awesome respect ordinary people still have for those 'wonder-working wizards' of science.

In the end, it all comes down to "JOBS,JOBS,JOBS" as that famous scientist Brian Mulroney once observed ---- he also said "there is no whore like an old whore".

True, so true.....
