Yes, I figure they are just trying to help these companies obfuscate responsibility so they can use those resources to be competitive. The problem with that in addition to victimizing the victims again is that your doomed to repeat the error that led to making them sick in the first place. When some simple cost effective fix could have prevented that. Like for instance simply not putting dioxin in agent orange. Or removing pcb's before you dump your toxins into river's people depend on for drinking and food.
*nods in large agreement*
it's never as simple as a single reason/conspiracy/person in these things
With Agent Orange, the US military higher ups *knew* before they used Monsanto's evil brew, that it had 100 times the levels of PCBs that their competitors' herbicides had
so, there's only two ways that they let Monsanto win the contract:
1) Bribery...but knowing it would poison US troops as well as Vietnamese civilians still makes this mass murder
or
2) They knew and WANTED it to kill and maim millions of innocent Vietnamese civilians, which is exactly which it has done since then...and of course not give a damn about US troops who also got poisoned
it was genocide, a Weapon of Mass Destruction and a banned Chemical weapon attack all in one, by stealth
it will probably be a mix of both of these, with varying military officers and politicians etc having mix of reasons
if you consider the criminality, the stupidity, the zealotry of some of those involved back then, any or a mix is perfectly possible
same with M.E.
I think it started in the UK with the "typical" evil cowardly hypocrisy of covering up a problem that got lots of ordinary folks harmed:
manufacturing nerve gas during the Cold War caused accidents that made many workers sick, possibly killed some
they used the D-Notice to crush any attempt to bring this problem to light, all using the excuse of "national security interests" to cover it up
but, not only did it harm those folk, by covering it up, they hid the truth about how dangerous organophosphates are in general
later uses of those ghastly chemicals and problems from them, were also covered up, such as the farmers poisoned by sheep dip etc
and so it spread, it became a literal "Industry" of it's own, with the likes of Wessely etc being used to "spin" problems to make them "go away"
this is PROVEN by the "Legend of Camelford" garbage Wessely wrote
if you read it, and way he laughing compares it to the Braer incident, you should note something especially when compared to many other such things he and his colleagues have come out with over the years:
a snide contempt seems to be a common attitude
and Braer oil spill was vastly different, but still the risk to Human health was much higher than the slimy government/oil lobby crowd would admit
Camelford was direct ingestion of aluminium compounds and other toxins in a densely populated region using one major water supplier
Braer was vapour on a sparsely populated area which was very windy, though Scottish crude is extremely" light" and thus, has much higher vapour risks (see toluene for example), and risks form those are worse than officially recognized, the geography and climate prevented most harm
which is vastly different ot a complete bloody cover up and CRIMINAL refusal to aid in a crisis that let thousands be poisoned who shouldn't have
So either the psychs are monumentally naïve and blinded by their zealotry into not investigating properly and thus being eager to spout their beliefs and given a "soapbox" to do so by the Elite for their own ends,
or they are willing stooges of the Elite to cover up serious problems
can't have it both ways and they cannot be "honest and reliable scientific researchers" as PACE has torpedoed that claim for once and for all
and yes, all these things, which scum or morons in power did to "save money", in the end, cost vastly more in the end because of all the harm they ended up causing, or not being prevented
these gits always feel like any tax money spent is coming from THEIR purses.
alas as I keep pointing out, this is typical Human behaviour
these rats talk about the "issues of psychology"
well then, why not investigate their OWN psychology?
or compare it to the likes of the cover ups and resulting catastrophes at Chernobyl and Fukushima, or many other such events?
it is Standard Operating Procedure for the scum who nearly always end up in power, to use glib bloody minded, compassionless ass-weasels to make "problems go away"
and like the proverbial "Jaws scenario", by refusing to admit a problem is real and deal with it honestly, it leads to much greater tragedy
Mercury amalgams
Organophosphates
Nuclear industry/use of uranium/plutonium rather than thorium because it's ALL about making bombs to keep the Elite in political power, not providing cheap safe electrical power
Oil Coal industry, cars...leading to Global Warming and society glibly ignoring the enormous death toll on the roads (folk freak out about guns, understandably at times, but ignore the carnage cars cause, during late 1960s to mid 1970s it was the equivalent of a Hiroshima bomb going off EVERY year, 100,000 dead, that was the death toll on America's roads, and few people gave a damn about that!)
etc etc
many issues being covered up, ignored, misrepresented, squelched by legitimate but misguided or misused researchers/groups/media, and corrupt ones
