    Can you explain why these people were fired or sent to other projects? does the Government want intelligence from all perspectives or only facts they want to hear?

    In the case of Dr. Paul Houser, he wasn't fired for his opinions but the way that he broke protocol in how communication is carried out. That isn't to hide information from the general public but it's done because any time a scientist speculates without having sound proof, those communications can be (and often are) used to sew seeds of doubt and paranoia.

    Like in the case of this thread.

    You don't understand the science behind what he said but you're SURE the government is out to get you.

    They don't go into the specifics of why those people were fired or reassigned... some of them maybe because they were trying to push discredited theories... like Global Climate Change is caused by Radio Waves or that green house gases are GOOD for the ozone layer... Maybe because some of them were jerks.

    Without actually knowing the whole stories of why they are no longer in those positions... framing it with "Is the government out to get you?" Is... kinda Fox "news" like.

    The guy was head of ethics.....he went against what they wanted to hear....he went against what a senator wanted to do......why they picked him to be head of ethics in the scientific department I don't know....because he has always been a champion for ethics...he was a whistle blower in the unethical way that scientific data was being presented......I know this because he won his case in court....

    You know that 'Big Government' you are always bitching about? Well, it just got smaller by one.

    Well no... he was the head of "ethics" who was telling scientists what to find. And using improper channels to do it.

    Look... Global Climate change is real and it's caused by humans. No amount of fudging data or running around like a chicken with your head cut off will change that the only "scientists" who don't agree are on the payroll of the Koch brothers or big oil.

    And THAT is what is going on.
