On another site, someone wrote a post about asking an "AIDS expert" for an answer. The "expert" said he'd get back to the person in a week but did not (he's still waiting, several months later). He then asked if we should consider this a "lie."
Here was my post in response (with one "typo" error corrected):
QUOTE: They are politicians more than anything else, though not particularly good ones. There is just too much scientific evidence against their notions and claims (generated by the "HIV/AIDS" faithful) for them to risk looking like total fools, so they use these kinds of tactics.
I was thinking about Monica Goodling's actions in the Department of Justice, and why she acted as she did, and though I can't say for sure, of course (since I don't know her personally), I came to think of Tara Smith, Nicholas Bennett, and the rest of that group along the same lines. The "syndrome" these kinds of people seem to be afflicted with (or allow themselves to be, for whatever reason) is characterized by the following:
They are usually young (20s or 30s), ambitious, self-righteous, "know-it-all" types.
They don't question what their masters/mentors (or the reigning authority figures in a particular field) tell them.
Rather, they assume the role of "enforcer" of what is "right," or what I call "Ideology X."
The reasoning behind (though perhaps never articulated explicitly) Ideology X is simplistic:
1. We are good and right. There can be no Ideology Y or Z.
2. It is unacceptable to question us or ask us to explain our claims or actions.
3. Anyone who disagrees with us must be stopped.
4. Any means may be used to stop those who disagree with us.
5. It is never permissible to confront those who criticize us in a fair forum, such as a moderated, academic debate, because those who are wrong may appear to be right.
6. Instead, the kinds of "dirty tricks" played by the likes of people such as Karl Rove, are to be employed, because we can just "go on the offensive" with simplistic slogans that are successful with the ignorant masses.
7. If anyone questions us who appears to have just heard about "dissidents," and asks us a tough question, we can say, "oh that's a lot of nonsense - I'll write up a detailed explanation for you," and never get back to that person, hoping that he or she just forgets about it and moves on to something else.
