Of course, Russia is far from the only country to come up with catchy nicknames for cultural repression
while pushing a political agenda, but I would argue that it was the most pronounced of the bunch.
It sort of reminds me of certain writers» organizations that try to lull you into believing they have your best interests at heart all the
while it appears those in control are simply stroking their own egos and
pushing their own social or
political or who - knows - what
agenda.
What I take from Paul Nurse's comments is that, apparently, the climate scientists thought they could do «science» AND be heavily involved in radical
political agendas that directly benefited their enterprise, and
while doing so, NOT expect to get some
push back by the tax paying public (who, after all, are paying their salaries
while also being the targets of the CAGW activists).
