THE GUARDIAN HAS IN AN EXCLUSIVE FOUND A SERIES OF EMAILS BETWEEN
THE STAFF OF THE NATIONAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE,
USDA UNIT THAT OVERSEES FARMERíS LAND
CONSERVATION.
WHAT DO THE EMAILS SHOW?
NOT GOOD.
THEY EXPLAIN ñ
LET ME PAUSE HERE TO EXPLAIN WHAT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
AND THE HISTORY BEHIND IT.
ITíS NOT IF YOU FIND SOMETHING OFFENSIVE.
THAT IS NOT WHAT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS.
IT IS OFTEN MISUSED THAT WAY.
IT ACTUALLY HAS A
LITERAL BACKGROUND, HISTORICAL BACKGROUND WHERE IT
ORIGINATED FROM, AND SOME PEOPLE SAY IT WAS THE SOVIETS,
SOME SAY IT'S THE NAZIS.
IT WAS ACTUALLY BOTH.
THE SOVIETS AND THE NAZIS WOULD SEND
DIRECTIVES TO THEIR POLITICAL OPERATIVES SAYING, WHETHER
SOMETHING IS FACTUALLY CORRECT IS NOT IMPORTANT.
IT NEEDS TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT.
YOU MUST USE THIS KIND OF LANGUAGE WHEN DESCRIBING,
AND THEIR CASE, THE JEWS OR THE POLYGRAMS, THE FAMINES, ETC.Ö A
FAMINE, CAUSE SOMETHING ELSE AND THAT WOULD BE THE POLITICALLY
CORRECT TERM.IN THIS CASE HERE, WE HAVE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
TELLING SCIENTISTS WORKING AT THESE ORGANIZATIONS, YOU
ARE NOT TO USE THE FACTUALLY CORRECT WORDS, YOU ARE TO USE
THE POLITICALLY CORRECT WORDS.
LET ME GIVE YOU THE DETAILS.
THEY EXPLAINED IN THE EMAILS ñ
YOU SEE THE ORWELLIAN TWIST THERE.
IT'S NO LONGER A PROBLEM, IT SHOWS OUR RESILIENCE.
RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE EXTREMES.
GEORGE ORWELL FROM THE GRAVE GOING I TOLD YOU.
YES YOU DID, SIR.
THEY EXPLAIN FURTHER HERE ñ
I'M NOT SURE THIS IS EVEN
RELATED EVERYTHING IS
TURNED UP POSITIVE.
WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT REDUCING GREENHOUSE GASES, WE'RE
BUILDING SOIL ORGANIC MATTER AND INCREASING EFFICIENCY.
YOU SEE HOW THAT IS GREAT?
THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND
BY THE WAY, IF ALL THESE YEARS YOU ARE A RIGHT WINGER WHO
CLAIMS YOU POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, I'M SURE YOU
WANT A RAMPAGE ABOUT THIS AND I'M SURE YOU ARE BEING
HONEST AND CALLING OUT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, RIGHT?
LET ME GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS IN CASE YOU WANT THEM.
THIS IS JIMMY BRAMBLETT, HE IS THE DEPUTY CHIEF
FOR PROGRAMS THAT NRCS.
HE WROTE -
HE WROTE THAT FOUR DAYS AFTER THE INAUGURATION AND THE
EMAILS ARE FROM ABOUT A MONTH AFTER THE IN MIGRATION.
THEY COME IN AND IMMEDIATELY START CHANGING THE WORDS IN
THE CASE OF BRAMLETT HE IS SAYING, REMEMBER, IS
TALKING TO A BUNCH OF SCIENTISTS.
HE IS NOT SAYING HEY, ADJUSTED THE RESEARCH PROJECT YOU'RE
WORKING ON.
LET'S NOT ONLY INVESTIGATE CLIMATE CHANGE BUT ALSO
ECONOMICS OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE.
HE'S IS LIKE, NO, STOP LOOKING INTO IT.
WE'RE NOT DOING CLIMATE CHANGE ANYMORE.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT SCIENCE.
WE'RE GOING IN A POLITICALLY CORRECT DIRECTION.
HE ADDED -
IF YOU ARE A SCIENTIST AND YOU ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT,
HEY, IS THE STUFF GOING IN THE AIR?
DON'T LOOK INTO IT.
WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE FACTS.
WE'RE NOT INTERESTED IN SCIENCE.
HEY, RIGHT-WINGERS, BE PROUD.
SAY YOU LOVE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND THAT IS OKAY.
OR SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ON THIS ISSUE.
SIBLING YOU DON'T LIKE SCIENCE AND DON'T WANT THEM TO DO
SCIENCE.
PROBABLY DECLARE WHAT YOU ARE.
YOU DON'T LIKE FACTS OR SCIENCE.
OR SAY HOW DARE THEY?
WE KNOW GREAT CERTAINTY THAT IF YOU DID THE CORRECT SCIENCE
ON IT YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT THERE IS NO CLIMATE CHANGE.
9 OUT OF THE LAST 10 YEARS ALL BROKE RECORDS FOR THE
HOTTEST TEMPERATURE THERE IS, BUT IT IS A WILD COINCIDENCE
AND I'M SURE THE SCIENTISTS ARE GOING TO PROVE IT.
OWN IT.
BUT HERE, THEY'RE NOT DOING THAT.
THEY'RE JUST SAYING
STOP THE SCIENCE.
LET'S REMEMBER IN THE CONTEXT OF ALL THE THINGS THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION DID.
YOU PROBABLY HEARD THE STORIES BEFORE.
THIS IS A NEW ONE REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR AGENCY AND THE
EMAILS THAT PROVE EXACTLY HOW THEY WERE DOING IT, SO WHEN
YOU TAKE IT IN TOTAL, IT IS A TOTAL WAR ON SCIENCE.
ONE PERSON INSIDE THE AGENCY, A STAFFER ASKED A
GREAT QUESTION.
MAN, YOU COULD NOT HAVE WRITTEN IT BETTER BACK IN FASCIST
GERMANY AND COMMUNIST DICTATORIAL SOVIET UNION
AND IT IS NOT ON TIM HEFNER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HIS POSITION IS.
HE IS JUST ASKING AS A BUREAUCRAT, WHAT IS NOW THE
POLITICALLY CORRECT WORDS TO USE?
AND WITH THE CORRECT WORDS ARE DINED WITH THE
SCIENTIFICALLY CORRECT WORDS ARE.
I KNOW THE ENGLISH WORDS ARE.
WHAT IS THE LANGUAGE YOU WANT ME TO USE IN ORDER TO DECEIVE
PEOPLE?
HE DOESN'T HAVE LSR, BUT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT.
EVEN IF YOU THINK IT IS NOT TO DECEIVE, NOW THERE IS
POLITICALLY CORRECT LANGUAGE AND IT IS ENFORCED THROUGHOUT
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
WHAT CONSERVATIVES DO ALL THE TIME?
WHATEVER THEY WANT TO THE PROJECT ON THE LIBERALS.
LIBERALS WANT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
DON'T LET THEM USE SCIENTIFIC TERMS, MAKE SURE YOU STEP
THAT OUT.
THE LAST PART.
IF YOU ARE NOT CONVINCED YET THAT THEY ARE AGAINST
SCIENCE, WE UNTIL YOU GET A LOAD OF THIS.
AS THE GUARDIAN EXPLAINS ñ
AS EVERYONE QUICK SECOND BEFORE
I GET TO THE BEST PART.
IF YOU THINK THAT THE SCIENCE IS WRONG, AS THE CHIEF SCIENTIST,
HE IS, YOU WOULD BRING IN YOUR LEGENDARY OTHER SCIENTISTS, THE
TINY PERCENTAGE OF SCIENTISTS PAID BY THE FOSSIL FUEL
INDUSTRY TO COME IN AND GO NO GUYS COMING YOU HAVE THE
SCIENCE WRONG BUT IT IS OKAY, I CAN PROVE IT TO YOU.
NO, YOU WERE ACQUITTED YOU BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT IS NOT TRUE.
JUNK SCIENCE, WE WILL BE DOING THAT ANYMORE.
SCIENTISTS, TAKE A FOUR YEAR LONG VACATION.
LET'S BE FAIR, SAM CLOVIS WAS NOMINATED TO BE THE CHIEF
SCIENTIST FOR THIS GROUP.
LAST QUOTE -
THE MOST IMPORTANT THAT SENTENCE IS THE CHIEF SCIENTIST WHO
IS NOT A SCIENTIST.
THEY BITTERLY BROUGHT IN A PROPAGANDA GUY WHO MADE
OUTRAGEOUS PROPAGANDA CLAIMS AGAINST OBAMA AND OTHER
PROGRESSIVES AND THEY INSTALLED HIM OR THEY WANT TO INSTALL
HIM AS THE CHIEF SCIENTIST.
THEY ARE RUBBING YOUR FACE IN IT, INCLUDING YOU CONSERVATIVES.
THEY ARE SAYING THANK YOU, KEEP MAKING THOSE ARGUMENTS
ABOUT HOW KNOW, WE'RE PRO SCIENCE, 2.
WE GOING TO PICK A GUY IS NOT EVEN A SCIENTIST.
A CLEAR OBVIOUS PROPAGANDA GUY IN MAKING THE CHIEF
SCIENTIST AND WE'RE GOING TO TELL THEM, NO, POLITICAL
CORRECTNESS IS NOT AN OPTION ANYMORE, IT IS MANDATORY
THAT MAKE ARGUMENTS FOREST OPPORTUNITIES LIBERALS DOING IT.
NOW AT LEAST YOU KNOW, SO IF YOU WANT TO BE A CONSERVATIVE,
YOU'RE REPUBLICAN AND YOU WANT TO SUPPORT HAAS, HAVE AT IT.
JUST PROBABLY DECLARE YOU ARE.
YOU ARE IN FAVOR OF
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND DON'T EVER COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYONE
ELSE'S POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AGAIN.
YOUíRE AGAINST SCIENCE.
IT IS OKAY.
HOW STUPID YOU ARE.
ITíS NOT THE PROBLEM, HAVE PRIDE IN IT.
TELL US OUT AND PROUD, COME OUT OF THE CLOSET AND TELL US
YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN SCIENCE.
JUST SAY IT.
THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING RIGHT HERE.
