You post your articles and I will post mine- you can delete my comments as you see fit just as I can delete yours.
Your righteous indignation is comical. I think you both are lunatic fringe to be asking these questions on this blog. It is a forum for free speech- not your personal domain. Go away.

1) You ask me, what is the relevance of this blog post to Lifeboat’s mission?
2) You post a blog titled ‘Four Years Ago’ (http://lifeboat.com/blog/2012/08/four-years-ago) about “An Afghan local policeman opened fire on American troops on Friday”.
Please do tell what this has to do with Lifeboat’s mission?

I infer that you have one rule for yourself and another for everyone else.

What makes you the authority on what should be published on Lifeboat’s blog and what should not?

Finally you have not answered my question, who are you? And by association what are your credentials for passing judgment on other peoples’ work?

I gather from the link Tom Kerwick has provided that you have not published any physics or aerospace engineering papers at a peer reviewed conference or journal?

So if you have not walked in the shoes of someone like Prof. JD Williams, what makes you an authority on how funding works in these communities?

Joe six-pack is not going to give the OK on any anti-gravity research grants. How your post is a constructive contribution to this blog is not clear to me.

I doubt posting here is going to solve your problem.

Lets focus on positive comments/contributions on how to overcome media bias for big well funded organizations.
