|content=@AlexBerezow Well, given that you hadn’t yet heard the expression before I’m thinking you may want to look at the history before retooling the implicit accusation that this was nothing. [[Erich Bloch]] wasn’t a nut. Nor was Roy.

|content=@AlexBerezow I’m sorry! I’m only aware of your book on the anti-scientific left (which is a huge problem as well), but not any work on the “anti-scientific” right. What do you write about [[Erich Bloch]]? I’m curious because I also covered him in my work. Can’t wait to discuss.

|content=Don’t blame China. The US STEM leadership conspired against our own people just to save a few bucks. Of course PRC used our idiotic leadership against us. 

No one will talk about this paper. Try it! No one challenges it yet no one reports the claims made within it? Still amazed.

|content=EVERY single top research university in the US in EVERY STEM field is used by CCP.

I don’t understand the shock. The [[Erich Bloch]] &amp; [[Peter House]] at [[National Science Foundation (NSF)|@NSF]] via the [[Government University Industry Research Round Table (GUIRR)|GUIRR]] coordinated the giving away of our US STEM advantage just to save US employers $ in 1986:

|content=This was written more than 20 years ago. It has sat on the NBER server for 20 years. No one reports the story.

There is no press. No outcry. There is just a freakish silence that has been unbroken for almost 40 years. We gave it all away to the CCP.

|content=I highly recommend learning about the history of where [[H-1B Visa|H-1B]] came from before getting emotionally invested in it.

It was born as a [[Labor Shortages|labor tampering conspiracy]] against American scientists headquartered at the [[National Academy of Sciences (NAS)|@theNASEM]] ([[Government University Industry Research Round Table (GUIRR)|GUIRR]]) & [[National Science Foundation (NSF)|@nsf]] (PRA) under [[Erich Bloch]].

|content=This is fascinating. [[Erich Bloch]] and [[Peter House]] employed economists to specifically and intentionally design our scientific immigration system to drive down U.S. scientific compensation using foreigners and “lures”. Yes, the @nsf and @theNASciences in 1986 secretly designed our U.S. stem system so that our STEM employers could save money if we drove away our own top STEM talent.

Scientific backstabbing. Plain and simple. We took the world’s top scientific workforce and destroyed it to save money on science salaries and to get access to more pliant employees. Why? Because our leaders appointed idiots to save a few bucks. I’m sorry but that is what happened. 

So, who is this Collins guy and what is he doing at the top of the U.S. science pile? Why are we listening to him? Is he some great thinker? Is he some kind of policy genius? Is he more ethical and merit loving  than the rest of us slobs and mere mortals? 

Ah. Yes. I remember now. Francis Collins! The one who calls for “devastating” take downs against his “fringe” MD/PhD professorial colleagues and their work. And yet, here he is again! Why won’t he slink off somewhere where he can’t do even more damage? Why is he here??

This is what DC science policy circles look like. Two faced. Francis Collins would end your career without a second thought for principaled scientific dissent. As he tried to do to my colleague @DrJBhattacharya at Stanford. 

He should not be speaking for science. He does not represent science. 

Science cannot afford Francis Collins and his culture of backstabbing officials.

|content=The visa *IS* the abuse. It was created at [[National Science Foundation (NSF)|@NSF]]/[[National Academy of Sciences (NAS)|@theNASciences]] by [[Erich Bloch]], [[Peter House]] &amp; [[Myles Boylan]].

Happy to explain how the Reagan-era plot worked, to *any* large national news outlet supporting [[H-1B Visa|H1B]]. On camera.

The program *IS* the fraud. It’s not fraud in the program.
