Whether asbestos, CO2 emissions, 5G or corona: In the increasingly heated struggle for the truth, science is playing the dubious role of opinion maker, and for this it is influenced, manipulated and undermined at will. The report uses several major environmental and health scandals to show the strategies for instrumentalizing science.
Why did it take decades before tobacco was officially classified as harmful to health? Why do many people still believe that climate change is not man-made? Why do we not want to accept that pesticides are responsible for bee deaths, even though this has been sufficiently proven by numerous studies? Scientific knowledge has never been so great, never has it sparked more controversy. Why are scientific facts repeatedly questioned? It is no longer surprising that the industry withholds knowledge from the public that could reduce its profits; nor that it deliberately misguides the public debate in order to delay political decisions. But what sophisticated strategies she uses to misuse science for her purposes was not known until now. In more and more organizations, scientific facts are deliberately being questioned in order to hinder progress in sensitive areas. Interdisciplinary researchers have looked at the conscious production of ignorance and are revealing the underlying mechanisms. Using the example of spectacular social scandals, anotologists unmask the methods of impeding knowledge: "Smoke candles" are thrown, data series are doctored and test protocols are falsified. However, it also shows how unconscious patterns of thought and behavior cause people to sometimes prefer ignorance to gaining knowledge. The documentation explains scientifically and impartially about a mechanism that everyone is turning.
Research, fake and lazy tricks

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
