One Last Thing:
Keith Seffen and the progressive collapse of western science

"Profanity given up - Due to fatigue."
Mark Twain (The Notebooks)

With me, it's not the profanity, it's the spectating I'm inclined to give up due to fatique.

But whenever I turn my thoughts from the crimes and corruption of the global ruling elite, to matters closer to home (the local police chief suspended for reasons unstated, Vancouver Mounties insanely tasering a disoriented immigrant to death at the airport, Victoria police found guilty by a jury of murdering a car thief, rats, racoons, squirrels running rampant in Oak Bay (aka Rat Bay), while idiot animal activists agitate to have all cats spayed -- leaving the rats, squirrels and raccoons to multiply at will) something astounding comes down the pike from the more distant scene that seems impossible to ignore.

Among the latest of such items, is the BBC's report that Dr. Keith Seffen of Cambridge University is to publish a paper in a "peer-reviewed" scholarly journal proving that the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers at free-fall speed is easily explained, contrary to "many conspiracy theories [which propose] that the buildings came down in a manner consistent with a "controlled demolition".

But as the conclusions of the paper appear to contradict Newtonian mechanics, and in particular the principal of the conservation of momentum, it must be assumed to be nonsense. A hoax, in fact, designed to exploit the credibility of the World's most famous center of scientific learning to conceal the cause, and thereby the perpetrators, of the 9/11 mass murders, not to mention the ensuing mass murder of over a million Iraqis and an unknown numbers of Afghans.

Now a technical assessment of Seffen's paper by a highly qualified reviewer is available, which seems to confirm that the paper is a hoax, and a poorly executed one at that.

According to Doctor Arkadiusz Jadczyk, Member of the Editorial Board of Reports in Mathematical Physics, formerly Professor at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Wroclaw, Poland and holder of many other academic titles and distinctions, Dr. Seffen's paper is "not even wrong," a contention he explains in the simplest non-mathematical terms.

Seffen's paper thus appears to provide evidence, if more were needed, that we are now witnessing the end, or at least the beginning of the end, of the age of western science.

What Seffen's hoax (perpetrated with the backing of the University of Cambridge - Isaac Newton's alma mater) reveals is that the discovery of knowledge is neither the exclusive, nor even the primary objective of the leading western institutions of science. Rather, western science has embarked on its own era of Lysenkoism, its most important role being to implement the will of an anti-democratic elite intent on applying every means to the business of social control and the globalization of monopoly capitalism.

As C.S. Lewis noted, the seeds of Western science's demise have existed from the outset:

"If we compare the chief trumpeter of the new era (Bacon) with Marlowe's Faustus, the similarity is striking. You will read in some critics that Faustus has a thirst for knowledge. In reality he hardly mentions it. It is not truth he wants from the devils, but gold and guns and girls. In the same spirit, Bacon condemns those who value knowledge as an end in itself... The true object is to extend Man's power to the performance of all things possible. He rejects magic because it does not work; but his goal is that of the magician ..."
(The Abolition of Man)

We should not, therefore, be astonished if what we now see is the "progressive collapse" of the culture of Western science at free-fall speed.
