  Astronomers Build a Feminist Black Hole for a Former Star And plans are afoot to prevent future alleged “harassers” from receiving author credit in scientific journals JANICE FIAMENGO If you want to imagine a “feminist future,” consider the never-ending drama, at once sentimental and punitive, surrounding disgraced scientist Geoff Marcy, once a revered exoplanet researcher, now a scapegoated “sexual harasser” whom the politically correct cannot cease to accuse. The destruction of Marcy’s reputation and career as a result of dubious allegations never tested in court has failed to appease his persecutors, one of whom alleged  in a recent  Science  article  that even seeing the man’s name in print may be “triggering” for “survivors.” In this article, “After outcry, disgraced sexual harasser removed from astronomy manuscript,” the astronomy community is portrayed as eager to formulate rules whereby those deemed to have violated standards of conduct “should not be ...

It’s been a bloodbath for the majority of companies that go overtly woke in the new era of American consumer rebellion, and the establishment is not happy. Corporations like Disney, Anheuser-Busch and Target are plunging in profits and losing billions in market cap after pledging fealty to the trans agenda.

Twenty years from now we are going to look back at the early years of green energy seeing it as the apex predator in the Madness of Crowds sweepstakes. The wealth transfer from the poor to the rich, as taxpayers  subsidize  green energy projects in every country, is shocking. That money winds its way into hedge funds that promote new green energy projects accompanied by yet more taxpayer subsidy. At the same time, the money that could be used to lift up an increasingly miserable lower 50 percent is accompanied by a shutting down of fossil fuel supply, thus raising energy costs for the working poor and middle class, which then skyrockets the price of food. It is a pincer movement, a classic play by the rich to milk the poor, a driving of tens of millions into poverty and serfdom. I can read the face o...
