How the deep state works to suppress the free speech (the truth) by employing "consensus" tactics:
“Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had.” - Michael Crichton
I subscribe to Tony Heller’s “Real Climate Science” video podcasts. He’s been censored several times on Youtube because, like Libs Of Tik Tok, he cites actual examples of the truth while exposing leftist hypocrisy. So, he’s come to post his podcasts on several other sites, like Rumble. Apparently, Tony subscribes to one of those newspaper archiving websites and is able to come up with endless examples showing how “science” changes with the times according to ‘the narrative’. Exposing “Climate Science” lies is his main thrust, but he will often delve into other issues that beg for an opposing viewpoint such as the coronavirus pandemic. In this video: <LINK> Tony points out how the abject fraud propagated by climate alarmists is promoted by “big tech” while opposing viewpoints are suppressed and/or censored. He also illustrates how deranged sycophants of climate change hysteria risk their very livelihood by showing their devotion to the “cause”.
Here’s a video that Tony did entitled, “Scientific Consensus And Mass Delusion”: <LINK> I find it interesting as it illustrates just how flawed “science” and consensus can be.
Here’s Michael Crichton’s quote in context:
“I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had.
Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.
There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period.”
The information regarding the former intelligence officials cited in Tony’s video apparently came from Glenn Greenwald’s Substack newsletter <HERE>. If you’re not already familiar with Glenn, I think you’ll find that he’s a fascinating guy. He’s a Pulitzer Prize recipient. He founded The Intercept, which he later left and there’s quite a story there as it also pertains to censorship. Something that the “traditional left” find loathsome. <The Intercept Story>.
