Some time ago Boggart
Blog invented the Orwell - Huxley - Dick index to chart our descent
into a dystopian society that lets the oligarchs live in splendour
while the rest of us poor punters try to scrabble a living in the
lawless, uncleaned streets. We have reported on progress towards the
total surveillance society, the use of mass media in manipulating
behaviour and the development of new and ever more intrusive
technologies to report our activities and get instructions and
"advice" from data centres right in our faces.

The Science Fraud: Many Scientific Research Papers Are Pure Gobbledegook
The war between humanities and science goes on, both in academic faculties and internet comment threads. But in an environment that is increasingly politicised and influenced by corporate profit motives rather than the pure and unsullied pursuit of knowledge, can we trust either side? This article suggests not.
SciGEN is a computer program that generates scientific research papers. It's creators intended it to be a hoax with the intention of proving that scientific sacred cow the Peer Review Process is as corrupt as it's critics have always suggested.
Research they generated with the program was readily accepted for presentation and publication.
For fun the authors made their program a free download on the net. Now we learn many scientists are using it to gain prestige by submitting many nonsensical research documents to get their names seen.
As the article reveals in detail, it is clear nobody is reading this bullshit, but it gets favourable peer reviews anyway.

line. HAARP - the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program is a
research programme that experiments with changing the earth's upper
atmosphere. you don't have to understand much science to realise it
proves that as John Lennon said the world is run by insane people.

World On The Brink - USA And Russia Square Up In Ukraine
It
looks like this might be the big one. With all America's plans to
destabilise non supine nations in ruins as phase 2, the installation
of a puppet government proved impossible, Obama who has already been
bested by Putin several times cannot back down again as Russia
prepares to reverse the coup d'etat that took Ukraine with the
support of USA, Britain and France. And this time the Russians have
forced the crisis in their own backyard where the USA cannot possibly
win. We truly do live in Interesting Times.
