Democrat 'demon rat' woman attacks another child over MAGA sign on pushbike - [PEACE] [AND] [POLITICS]

Won't you please think of the children, the Democrat demonRats cry as they attack the children. The left eats its own, attacks children, and gaslights the nation. Spare the children? Nah: Police seek Colorado woman who pulled U-turn & PUNCHED 12yo boy on bike for carrying Trump sign https://www.rt.com/usa/499813-colorado-trump-boy-attacked/ Police are looking for a Colorado woman who allegedly assaulted a 12-year-old boy after seeing him carrying a Trump sign on his bicycle – the latest and perhaps most absurd instance of escalating political violence in the US. The attack reportedly occurred Monday afternoon in Boulder, after a woman on a moped passed a boy riding his bicycle and saw his sign showing support for President Donald Trump. Police said the suspect then made a U-turn, confronted the boy, assaulted him and tried unsuccessfully to take his sign. A police spokesman told the Denver Post that the woman punched the boy four or five times in the back of the head and arms with a closed fist and scratched him. The suspect was described as a white woman in her late 20s or mid-30s who was riding a gray or blue moped. ...

Curing Fear - Russian film - request for English subtitles (or Cyrillic, which could be auto-translated) - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

This Russian Film is a Soul cookie just waiting for subtitles and a translation into English: "Curing Fear": New Russian Film About 20th Century Crimean Saint (Luke) https://russia-insider.com/en/culture/film-about-holy-hierarche-luke-crimea… This article from our archives was first published on RI in May 2015 http://www.pravoslavie.ru/english/78953.htm One of Russia's newest saints, he was canonized in 2000. He was a brilliant scientist and surgeon, as well as a priest, who publicly professed his faith despite the dangers of Bolshevik repression. He was wildly popular, and the authorities were afraid to touch him. On April 30, 2015, the film, Curing Fear, will be released, based on the history of life of the outstanding surgeon, scientist, and Holy Hierarch Luke, Archbishop of Simferopol and the Crimea, reports the Rossiyskaya Gazeta Russian newspaper. http://www.rg.ru/2015/04/24/luka-site.html ~2min trailer, ~14MiB, in Russian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EezUzl0scNc He was born Valentin Felixovich Voyno-Yasenetsky (1877-1961, his feast-day is June 11). He was a brilliant surgeon-practitioner and scientist, and his notable written work, Purulent Surgery Essays, has been a manual and reference book for several generations of medics. A profoundly pious person all his life, the future saint was widowed in 1919 and became a monk in 1923 when the anti-religious and anti-Church campaign was rising in Russia. In monasticism he received the name Luke in honor of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke. In the same year he was secretly consecrated a bishop. Later he was destined to undergo arrests, prison, exiles, and many years of ministry for the Lord and to people. In 1937, following another arrest and 13 whole days of interrogations without sleep he went on a hunger strike for 18 days and did not sign any testimony against other people who were under investigation. He performed surgeries during his exile in Yeniseysk, and received patients in Arkhangelsk. He kept searching for new methods of medical treatment and collecting materials for their support. Everywhere he remained a true physician, monk, and priest. According to the website Pravmir.ru, the pre-premiere screening and discussion of the film, Curing Fear, has taken place at the Oktyabr cinema. The film’s general producer Oleg Sytnik, actress Yekaterina Guseva (who played the female lead), actor Vitaly Bezrukov (who played the role of Holy Archbishop Luke in his mature age) as well as Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov), Abbot of the Moscow Sretensky Monastery, took part in it. His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia has sent a message of greetings to the film makers: “With great interest I have watched the film, Curing Fear, devoted to the life and ministry of St. Luke (Voyno-Yasenetsky), Archbishop of Simferopol and the Crimea. From the bottom of my heart I express gratitude to the director, producer, and the film’s creative team for this remarkable work of art”. “It is extremely hard to portray sainthood by means of film-making. Not only does it require extraordinary professionalism and exclusive creative valor from the director and actors, but also the ability to touch intellectually and wholeheartedly this marvelous spiritual phenomenon. Reflecting upon sanctity, it is very important not to confuse it with the phenomenon of a superman.” “A saint, a holy man is neither a superman nor a hero in the usual sense of these words. A saint is identified not in loud words and grandiose deeds, but rather in everyday deeds – in execution of one’s professional duty, in one’s utmost personal honesty and decency, in the ability to endure all trials courageously and firmly, the ability to remain calm and with presence of mind in the face of terrible dangers, setting all hopes upon the good will and the all-wise providence of God. It is gratifying to state that the director together with the creative team have succeeded in developing the theme of genuine Christian holiness, without running to extremes, avoiding excessive sublimity and sentimentality.” The movie was shot for five years in Russia, Belarus, and the Ukraine. Producer Oleg Sytnik has expressed his hope that the picture would be watched by millions of people in Russia and the CIS states.

Trump: "I'm not saying the military's in love with me. The soldiers are.

Only an animal would say a thing like that.” His scathing critique of the Pentagon’s top leadership prompted a new wave of controversy, however, as a number of media pundits, Democratic lawmakers and bellicose foreign policy commentators lined up to voice horror at the “unprecedented public attack” on the military. https://twitter.com/rabrowne75/status/1303038895806992384 ...

ACLU: Nick Sandmann is a “provocateur in training with no intention of learning” - another settlement incoming? - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 08 Sep '20

08 Sep '20

Peak 2020 does not exist, as 2020 is a rolling reverse time cascade of peaks peaking the prior next peak as the multi dimensional swirls of reality coalesce and dealesce in a successful effort to stop the very fabric of multiple parallel realities from tearing asunder... ACLU, that famed, now infamous, traditional exceptional now exceptionally partisan institute once hailed as America's defining bastion of free speech with its old catch cry of "both sides", as many know has been usurped and its principles shattered on the rocks of its new Jewish leadership's hyper partisanship. One chuckles at the reality that ACLU may well be just a short legal proceeding away from entering into a CNN styled settlement with Nick Sandmann, for very similar defamatory reasons. For those who crave justice, call for righteousness, and try however feebly to live freedom, 2020 just keeps getting better: ACLU Official Attacks University For Admitting Nick Sandmann While Professor Promises To Monitor His Conduct https://www.zerohedge.com/political/aclu-official-attacks-university-admitt… Jonathan Turley https://jonathanturley.org/2020/09/08/aclu-official-attacks-university-for-… I have previously written, as a long supporter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), about my concern over how the venerable group has changed under its current leadership, including a departure from its long robust defense of free speech. https://jonathanturley.org/2020/08/12/court-dismisses-aclu-complaint-that-p… Recently, the ACLU has abandoned its famed neutrality and has not supported some on the right while supporting those on the left. Now, the ACLU’s Samuel Crankshaw in Kentucky has targeted Transylvania University for admitting Nick Sandmann, who was falsely accused of abusing a Native American activist in front of Lincoln Memorial. https://www.aclu-ky.org/en/biographies/samuel-crankshaw Despite various media organizations correcting the story and some settling with Sandmann, some in the media have continued to attack him. https://jonathanturley.org/2020/07/25/the-washington-post-settles-with-nich… Yet, it is far more alarming to see an ACLU official rallying people against a young man whose chief offense appears to be that he is conservative and unapologetic. Crankshaw went to Facebook to alert people that Sandmann would be attending the college and expressing veiled outrage that the school would admit someone with his opposing views. https://www.facebook.com/sam.crankshaw/posts/10222665746568963 He warns that this kid is “more dangerous” than figures like Milo Yiannopolous. ... The “danger” is that a young freshman holds conservative views that are shared by roughly half of this country: Does anyone else think it’s a bit of a stain on Transylvania University for accepting Nick Sandman? I’m sure it’s a “both sides” defense, but it’s pretty counter to their mission and another instance of there not actually being equal sides to an issue. I think TU should accept anyone willing to have an open mind and engage in debate, regardless of their views. That’s how we all learn. That’s Transy’s mission… https://www.facebook.com/transylvaniauniversity/?fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%… Having experienced the incredibly high standards Transy requires for admission and then holds its students to, this seems like a slap in the face. I hope some time in a real classroom changes him, but his twitter and public persona suggest otherwise. The “both sides” defense used to be the position of the ACLU in fighting for all sides to be given equal opportunities and protections. Moreover Crankshaw labels Sandmann a “provocateur in training with no intention of learning.” Putting aside the provocateur label how would Crankshaw know that Sandmann has “no intention of learning”? One person responding was Dr. Avery Tompkins, who works as Assistant Professor and Diversity Scholar at Transylvania University, acknowledged that the university supported diverse viewpoints but promised to closely monitor Sandmann while he is on campus: “If he were to cause problems by being disruptive, trolling, or engaging in unethical behavior of any kind, I would immediately document it (just like I would for any student doing the same thing)…and he would just be putting himself in a position for me to file a conduct report.” https://www.transy.edu/academics/faculty/atompkins/ Doing the same thing? What thing? Free speech? Rather than say that there is no reason why this conservative student should be singled out in this way, Tompkins declares publicly “I get where you are coming from.” Where would that be? It sounds like Crankshaw was coming from a place where a wrongly accused conservative teenager will be harassed or targeted for daring to take his views to a college. Crankshaw was describing the exercise of free speech by someone with opposing views as unacceptable. Tompkins responds that she will be closely watching him. Both single out this one students for such added scrutiny and Cranksaw thanks her for her assurance of close monitoring. Sandmann like all college students should feel greater freedom in expressing their views at colleges, not being closely monitored as someone with dangerous thoughts and ideas. That fact that figures in the ACLU and academia would publicly espouse such views of intolerance is a chilling example of how our faith in free speech has eroded in the recent years. https://jonathanturley.org/2020/08/04/turley-testifies-in-senate-on-antifa-…

Wanna drain the swamp? - do your bit -- Fourteenth Amendment allows the President to strip Electoral Collegevotes from states supporting censorship against voters; enables mass arrests ofmayors, governors and judges who support BLM
by Zenaan Harkness 08 Sep '20

08 Sep '20

OK, so, you feel like you wanna drain the swamp, or help drain the swamp, and really, there's a very swampy swamp that does in fact need drainin ("Our swamp is the biggest swamp in the world! It is so swampy, and really needs draining!"). The fourteenth amendment is all very well and good (potentially very good), BUT, note Section 3 which has the sentence "But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability." - in other words, the swamp itself can override any declaration of insurrection with a two-thirds vote of each house. https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-14/ In other words, to drain the swamp, needs you - or more specifically, your vote. Below we see this 14th amendment is a great and real possibility, but the president is just one man, one big orange man to be precise, albeit he is apparently well intentioned and currently is president ("Our president is the orange-est president in the -whole- world!"), and without your ACTUAL support at the polling box, he cannot (successfully) invoke the insurrection act/ 14th amendment, and put many of these swamp cretins behind bars. Don't complain if you don't do your bit. There are moments in history. This is a moment in history. This is the biggest moment in history in our lives. Our moments are the BEST moments, the best in history! In this moment, everyone needs to get off their high horse, get off the fence of pious high fallutin' "impartiality" ("I am so impartial, I am impartial even to the destruction of my nation, I am just so pious and so impartial I don't even vote, how good am I"), and vote. You need to vote. Vote and have fun doing it :) Vote your big, orange, supermodel marrying, niece complimenting, pussy grabber in chief. ... That is, if you want the swamp drained. It ain't draining itself snowflake. This is make or break for the USA, and for much of the West. "Will the people vote." And if enough people vote, the swamp draining is going to be the most epic swamp draining in the history of swamp drainings - that swamp will be so drained, it will be epic, and we will smile together! (Hopefully come 4th November 2020, we might be able to say with pride "we have the voting-est people ever!" - although it will be very hard to beat the Crimean referendum, that was epic beyond what the average "ever so slightly overweight Amurrican" can properly grasp...)

How does Trump accomplish this? President Trump has a “secret weapon” that I’ve been talking about for several months in Health Ranger Report podcasts on Brighteon.com <https://www.brighteon.com/channels/hrreport>. Until recently, I didn’t know the exact nature of the secret weapon but was told by highly reliable sources that plans were already in place for Trump to defeat the Democrats and protect America from left-wing efforts to destroy this nation. Now we’ve been able to confirm the content of this “secret weapon” that will be invoked to save America. It’s the *Fourteenth Amendment* to the Constitution of the United States of America. *How the Fourteenth Amendment grants Trump the power to strip power away from treasonous domestic enemies* The Fourteenth Amendment — see the full text here <https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-14/> — speaks directly to the powers of the federal government in dealing with officials, individuals and states that are engaged in “rebellion” against the United States of America. Specifically, the Fourteenth Amendment grants the U.S. President the power to: - Arrest and indefinitely hold all public officials — including mayors, governors, state legislators, *federal judges* and law enforcement officials — who support “rebellion” against the United States or who have “given aid or comfort” to the enemies of America. (Section 3) - Eliminate House of Representatives positions for California and other states which are engaged in supporting Big Tech censorship platforms that are supporting rebellion against the United States of America and “abridging” the right of voting-aged citizens to participate in elections (via censorship). This implies that Electoral College votes would also be proportionally reduced in these states. (Section 2) - Eliminate all federal financial support for cities and states which are engaged in “insurrection or rebellion” against the United States. Section 3 specifically states that all such claims of federal money obligations to the states “shall be held illegal and void.” (Section 4) In essence, the Fourteenth Amendment grants American citizens “equal protection” under law, but for public officials or states which are engaged in “insurrection or rebellion” against the United States, those equal protections are revoked. The Democrats already know all this, which is why they are pursuing a plan of election chaos, hoping to throw the entire election process into mass confusion, from which they plan to attempt an illegal coup to eliminate Trump from office and claim political power over the nation. *Many Democrat-run states are already in open rebellion, aiding and comforting illegal insurrectionists who are attempting to overthrow the United States government* It should be rather obvious that at this very moment, California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Illinois and many other states are engaged in open rebellion against the United States, and that thousands of public officials within those states — mayors, governors, state legislators, police chiefs, etc. — are granting “aid or comfort” to the rebellion. Under the Fourteenth Amendment, Trump merely needs to declare an insurrection, then he can have Mayor Lightfoot (Chicago), Mayor Wheeler (Portland), Mayor Durkan (Seattle) and even de Blasio (NYC) arrested and removed from office for violating their oaths of office. All those mayors (and many more) have taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, but they have violated their oaths, and under the Fourteenth Amendment that means *they have nullified their own right to equal protection under the law*. Because they violated the U.S. Constitution and actively engaged in rebellion against the United States, in other words, they no longer enjoy the benefits of protections under the Constitution. In addition, President Trump can *eliminate congressional House seats for states that support rebellion*, reducing their apportionment in the House. This means the states’ Electoral College votes are also reduced, since those numbers are based on the number of House + Senate representatives for each state. This is based on the fact that these states are aiding the efforts of Big Teach to deny the rights of conservatives to participate in elections and voting, via politically-targeted censorship and voter suppression tactics now routinely used by Google, Facebook and other tech giants. Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment specifically addresses voter suppression. It says that states which support the suppression of the ability of citizens to participate in voting will lose a portion of their own seats in Congress as well as Electoral College representation. Right now, the most overt and obvious voter suppression is being carried out by Big Tech platforms such as Facebook, Google, Twitter and YouTube, but similar censorship is also being undertaken by Microsoft, Apple, Vimeo and other tech giants. These companies are granted aid and comfort by numerous left-wing cities and states which often grant these companies property tax deferments and legal protections against legitimate investigations or prosecutions. In other words, states like California are actively protecting the Big Tech platforms that are suppressing voter participation via politically-targeted censorship. And this puts California in violation of Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment. Furthermore, President Trump can *arrest and imprison all state and federal judges* who have granted “aid or comfort” to insurrectionists by, for example, releasing them without charge after they were arrested for participating in riots or assaulting law enforcement officers. This means all Soros-funded District Attorneys and anti-America judges who have supported the insurrection can now be arrested and removed from office in one fell swoop. Finally, Section 4 of the Fourteenth Amendment says, “…neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.” This means that cities and states which are suffering extreme economic losses due to their support for rioting and insurrection — such as Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, etc.) — cannot make any claim to federal money to reimburse them for their losses. *Their losses have been incurred as a result of their support for acts of insurrection and rebellion* against the United States, and thus the United States has no obligation to reimburse them for such losses. All this explains why Nancy Pelosi recently declared President Trump and the GOP to be “enemies of the state.” This is the kind of language that would only be used by the Speaker of the House if they intend to attempt a violent coup followed by mass exterminations of their political opponents: *To initiate all this, Trump merely needs to officially declare an insurrection is under way* The reason Democrats went insane when Trump won the 2016 election is because holding the office of the presidency grants that person access to all the powers that the U.S. Constitution (and subsequent law) confers to the president. One of those powers is the power to declare an *insurrection* against the government. Such a declaration unleashes enormous powers of government which are then directed by the president against the domestic enemies which are waging war against the United States. It is now rather obvious that *we are already in that war*, which is being waged by radical, extreme left-wing terrorists on a nightly basis. That war is *supported and aided by the tech giants* who censor all critics of the insurrectionists while aiding their acts of treason by allowing their platforms to be used to coordinate attacks against America. Left-wing mayors, governors, judges, state representatives and other oath-swearing officials are also openly engaged in insurrection against the United States, and Trump’s declaration of an open insurrection will enable them all to be arrested and removed from power. This is what Trump must do to save America. It is unlikely that he will declare an insurrection before the election, however. This action seems likely to occur *after* the election. *Why Trump should declare an insurrection the day before the election* Strategically speaking, we urge President Trump to declare the insurrection *before* the election, because this would allow him to challenge the Electoral College votes from states which are supporting open rebellion against the United States (for all the reasons noted above). Even if Trump declares the insurrection just one day before the election, this grants him a basis from which he may challenge the Electoral College votes from insurrectionist states like California. It also grants Trump the opportunity to arrest all the corrupt, left-wing officials the day *after* the election, shutting down their criminal attempts to counterfeit ballots after the fact that try to “win” by cheating in the weeks following the election itself. Trump can largely shut down that effort by simply declaring an insurrection and arresting all these treasonous actors the day after the election. They cannot counterfeit more ballots, after all, if they’re sitting in jail. This action would, of course, cause the radical Left to ignite an attempted nationwide kinetic war against the government, but at that point Trump is free to issue escalated engagement orders for federal law enforcement while even bringing in the U.S. military to halt all domestic enemies of the United States who are engaged in acts of treason or warfare against America (deploying the military to defeat domestic enemies of America does not violate *Posse Comitatus*). Remember when I told you a year ago that when martial law comes to America, *you will beg for it?* Now you understand why. When the radical Left unleashes yet more violence, arson, looting, property destruction and anarchy across America, most reasonable Americans will fully support temporarily martial law and even military action on the streets of America to clean out the insurrectionists and restore civility to this nation. *Trump also has the NDAA, signed into law by Obama to imprison Americans who opposed the Clinton regime* The Fourteenth Amendment is the key to all this. But alongside it, don’t forget that Barack Obama signed into law the NDAA which was intended to be handed over to Hillary Clinton as a weapon against patriots and conservatives. Now, that government weapon is in the hands of Trump, and he can deploy it against communist sympathizers and treasonous insurrectionists. In fact, some of the FEMA camp activity being widely reported now, I believe, is actually all about gearing up these camps to house left-wing traitors who are arrested *en masse* in the coming months. These irrational, insane, lawless lunatics cannot be rehabilitated to rejoin civil society. At best, the nation will have to warehouse them in prison camps for an extended period of time. In the same way that you can’t teach a pigeon to play chess, and you can’t teach a pig to sing, you can’t teach a Leftist how to function in civil society. They no longer operate in the realms of reason, civility, fairness or freedom. All they know us authoritarianism and violence, which explains why they will have to be isolated from society for the rest of their lives. This is what their parents, school teachers and college professors taught them, of course: How to be crybullies and terrorists, not how to function as reasonable citizens in a free society. *Why Democrats will fail to destroy America, but succeed in destroying their own cities and states* Despite their best efforts to bring this nation to its knees, Democrats are going to fail in their attempts to destroy America. They will succeed, however, in gutting their own cities and causing an economic implosion that will see most of America’s left-wing cities plunged into Third World status over the next five years. California can barely even keep the lights on as it is. Just wait until they come up $100 billion short for this year’s budget and can’t force Trump to bail them out with federal money. *The mass government layoffs and pension slashing efforts are about to begin* in Democrat-run states like New York and California. It will be brutal, and any income earner who has the ability to flee such states is already in the process of bugging out, leaving behind ghost town cities filled with criminals, homeless people, left-wing terrorists and impoverished welfare recipients. Ultimately, Democrats will end up imploding and destroying their own future. After the failed insurrection attempt, the Democrat party will be disbanded, and thousands of former Democrat officials will either be dead or imprisoned. This is the fate they have chosen, since they refuse to live in peace with people who have different political views. (Exactly when did “coexist” become “kill all Republicans?”) Trump is in charge, and he has numerous “secret weapons” to deploy against the treasonous Dems, as I explain in this important podcast: Brighteon.com/ae41783d-4d33-496d-badc-b0dae52507d4 <http://brighteon.com/ae41783d-4d33-496d-badc-b0dae52507d4> *How to survive the escalating civil war* The war for November’s election is just one small chapter in the much larger war against America and humanity. In addition to the war to destroy America, there is a global war to exterminate the human race and depopulate the planet. This war is tied into the COVID-19 vaccines, which are being engineered to achieve global depopulation <http://depopulation.news/> through infertility and death. I have two online resources to help people prepare for the escalation of all this. First, I’ve posted a free nine-hour audio book called the Global Reset Survival Guide. You can download it for free, right now, along with a printable PDF transcript of the full audio book, at GlobalReset.news <http://globalreset.news/>. Secondly, I’m posting practical survival videos and podcast each day at PrepWithMike.com <http://prepwithmike.com/>, which also lists in-stock preparedness items from the Health Ranger Store. This page brings you how-to videos on choosing the correct firearms, deploying firearms in self-defense, bugging out of the cities, living off-grid and surviving the food shortages yet to come. In one video, I teach you *how to clean and lubricate firearms with coconut oil.* See new videos and podcasts each day at PrepWithMike.com <http://prepwithmike.com/>. Just because Trump wins doesn’t mean the Democrats won’t make our lives a living hell for as long as they can. Expect nationwide attacks on the power grid, food supplies, fuel infrastructure and telecommunications in the months ahead. Plus, the treasonous tech giants will continue to escalate their illegal censorship efforts to silence all pro-America voices while amplifying voices of terrorism and communism. Things are about to get *real* interesting. Get prepared or you won’t survive it. If you thought 2020 was bad so far, *this party has only just begun*, folks.

The Idea That a Scientific Theory Can Be 'Falsified' Is a Myth - Scientific American

Uhhhhh... so Marxianism and Freudianism are true, then, Dr. Popper? Pull the other leg. It has bells on it. ———- https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-idea-that-a-scientific-theor… The Idea That a Scientific Theory Can Be 'Falsified' Is a Myth - Scientific American Mano SinghamSeptember 7, 2020 J.B.S. Haldane, one of the founders of modern evolutionary biology theory, was reportedly asked what it would take for him to lose faith in the theory of evolution and is said to have replied, “Fossil rabbits in the Precambrian.” Since the so-called “Cambrian explosion” of 500 million years ago marks the earliest appearance in the fossil record of complex animals, finding mammal fossils that predate them would falsify the theory. But would it really? The Haldane story, though apocryphal, is one of many in the scientific folklore that suggest that falsification is the defining characteristic of science. As expressed by astrophysicist Mario Livio in his book Brilliant Blunders: "[E]ver since the seminal work of philosopher of science Karl Popper, for a scientific theory to be worthy of its name, it has to be falsifiable by experiments or observations. This requirement has become the foundation of the ‘scientific method.’” Advertisement But the field known as science studies (comprising the history, philosophy and sociology of science) has shown that falsification cannot work even in principle. This is because an experimental result is not a simple fact obtained directly from nature. Identifying and dating Haldane's bone involves using many other theories from diverse fields, including physics, chemistry and geology. Similarly, a theoretical prediction is never the product of a single theory but also requires using many other theories. When a “theoretical” prediction disagrees with “experimental” data, what this tells us is that that there is a disagreement between two sets of theories, so we cannot say that any particular theory is falsified. Fortunately, falsification—or any other philosophy of science—is not necessary for the actual practice of science. The physicist Paul Dirac was right when he said, "Philosophy will never lead to important discoveries. It is just a way of talking about discoveries which have already been made.” Actual scientific history reveals that scientists break all the rules all the time, including falsification. As philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn noted, Newton's laws were retained despite the fact that they were contradicted for decades by the motions of the perihelion of Mercury and the perigee of the moon. It is the single-minded focus on finding what works that gives science its strength, not any philosophy. Albert Einstein said that scientists are not, and should not be, driven by any single perspective but should be willing to go wherever experiment dictates and adopt whatever works. Unfortunately, some scientists have disparaged the entire field of science studies, claiming that it was undermining public confidence in science by denying that scientific theories were objectively true. This is a mistake since science studies play vital roles in two areas. The first is that it gives scientists a much richer understanding of their discipline. As Einstein said: "So many people today—and even professional scientists—seem to me like somebody who has seen thousands of trees but has never seen a forest. A knowledge of the historic and philosophical background gives that kind of independence from prejudices of his generation from which most scientists are suffering. This independence created by philosophical insight is—in my opinion—the mark of distinction between a mere artisan or specialist and a real seeker after truth." The actual story of how science evolves results in inspiring more confidence in science, not less. The second is that this knowledge equips people to better argue against antiscience forces that use the same strategy over and over again, whether it is about the dangers of tobacco, climate change, vaccinations or evolution. Their goal is to exploit the slivers of doubt and discrepant results that always exist in science in order to challenge the consensus views of scientific experts. They fund and report their own results that go counter to the scientific consensus in this or that narrow area and then argue that they have falsified the consensus. In their book Merchants of Doubt, historians Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway say that for these groups “[t]he goal was to fight science with science—or at least with the gaps and uncertainties in existing science, and with scientific research that could be used to deflect attention from the main event.” Science studies provide supporters of science with better arguments to combat these critics, by showing that the strength of scientific conclusions arises because credible experts use comprehensive bodies of evidence to arrive at consensus judgments about whether a theory should be retained or rejected in favor of a new one. These consensus judgments are what have enabled the astounding levels of success that have revolutionized our lives for the better. It is the preponderance of evidence that is relevant in making such judgments, not one or even a few results. Advertisement So, when anti-vaxxers or anti-evolutionists or climate change deniers point to this or that result to argue that they have falsified the scientific consensus, they are making a meaningless statement. What they need to do is produce a preponderance of evidence in support of their case, and they have not done so. Falsification is appealing because it tells a simple and optimistic story of scientific progress, that by steadily eliminating false theories we can eventually arrive at true ones. As Sherlock Holmes put it, “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” Such simple but incorrect narratives abound in science folklore and textbooks. Richard Feynman in his book QED, right after “explaining” how the theory of quantum electrodynamics came about, said, "What I have just outlined is what I call a “physicist’s history of physics,” which is never correct. What I am telling you is a sort of conventionalized myth-story that the physicists tell to their students, and those students tell to their students, and is not necessarily related to the actual historical development which I do not really know!" But if you propagate a “myth-story” enough times and it gets passed on from generation to generation, it can congeal into a fact, and falsification is one such myth-story.
