1. Introduction

The intersection between politics, science, and funding is a complex and often contested terrain, especially in election periods, when politicians seek to defend their policies and ideologies, some with patriotic passion and others with petty intentions to enrich themselves and/or satisfy the globalist agendas that fund them with the support of scientists and personalities who support the highest bidder who will line their pockets. This article examines how funding can influence policy positions on scientific and social issues, focusing on three key areas: abortion, gender reassignment in minors, and climate change.

In addition, the interaction between politics and funding can create conflicts of interest that undermine the credibility of scientific research. Economic interests may lead politicians to support or oppose certain scientific discoveries based on their potential impact on industry or commercial interests. This can lead to cherry-picking of data, manipulation of research results, and even suppression of unfavorable results, all of which erode public confidence in the integrity of scientific research.

2. Funding and Positions on Abortion

Abortion is an issue where funding can play a significant role in shaping political positions. This debate encompasses ethical, religious, and public health considerations, funding, and organizational practices.

Diverse Perspectives:

1. Pro-Abortionist View:.
   • Politicians backed by pro-abortion groups purport to defend abortion rights (the direct taking of innocent human life before birth)
   as a matter of bodily autonomy and reproductive health, sometimes so extreme that they advocate abortion without a time limit, including those who have survived after abortion and may also be unceremoniously terminated.
2. They argue that organizations such as Planned Parenthood provide essential health services, including but not limited to abortion. They classify abortion as a ‘compassionate’ method of reproductive control when in reality they are committing a crime against an unborn human being.
3. They argue that public funding to these organizations is crucial to providing accessible health care to populations they deem vulnerable, using the euphemism that is aid to ‘sexual and reproductive health’
.
4. Pro-Life Vision:
   • Politicians who receive support from pro-life organizations tend to adopt more restrictive positions on abortion in order to save the lives of unborn children.
   • They argue that life begins at conception and that abortion is tantamount to ending a human life.
   • They advocate legal protection for the unborn and the redirection of public funds to alternatives to abortion, such as adoption and support for mothers in crisis.
   • They emphasize the potential negative psychological effects of abortion on women and argue that abortion is often performed under pressure or lack of information.
   • They promote sex education that emphasizes abstinence and responsibility, as well as support for families and pregnant women in difficult situations.
5. A Critical View of the Abortion Industry: A critical view, particularly focused on organizations such as Planned Parenthood, presents the following arguments:
   • Volume of Abortions: It is noted that Planned Parenthood performs over 300,000 abortions annually, which some see as a significant contribution to population decline. Murdering the unborn. Planned Parenthood's 2022-2023 annual report, an appalling record of 392,715 abortions and $178 million in profits from killing nearly 400,000 babies | ZENIT - Espanol
   • Questionable Practices: Cases of botched abortions and maternal deaths at abortion clinics are alleged, suggesting safety and ethical problems with some practices.
   • Gosnell case: The case of Dr Kermit Gosnell in Philadelphia is cited as an extreme example of malpractice and corruption in the abortion industry, including allegations of infanticide. ‘Gosnell is a particularly egregious case. But it is also the tip of the iceberg. This person is a bellwether for the abortion agenda in our country, if enough Americans are willing to hear it.’ - Richard M. Doerflinger is deputy director of the Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
   .
   • Demographic Impact: It is argued that more than 50 million children have been unborn (killed during abortion) in the United States due to abortion, with Planned Parenthood accounting for a significant portion of this number. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 630,000 abortions were performed in the United States in 2019, although based on its own calculations the Guttmacher Institute claims the actual figure is closer to 860,000.
   • Funding and Ethics: Despite generating substantial revenue, Planned Parenthood receives taxpayer funding, which some see as problematic given its role in performing abortions.
   • Population Control: Abortion is a questionable form of population control, with more than 50 million children unborn (killed during abortion) in the United States arguing that it disproportionately affects poor communities.

Important Considerations:

Abortion: Abortion is a questionable form of population control.

• The abortion debate involves complex ethical, medical, religious, legal, and social considerations that go beyond funding issues.
• The funding of abortion-related organizations is a subject of intense political and ethical debate.
• Abortion positions are often deeply rooted in personal, religious or philosophical beliefs, not just financial considerations.
• Any policy regarding abortion must carefully consider the implications for public health, individual rights, and social welfare.
• The abortion debate illustrates how funding can influence policy and practice, but also how fundamental beliefs about life and individual rights can shape policy positions.

3. Funding and Positions on Gender Reassignment in Minors

The issue of gender reassignment in minors and gender-reaffirming surgery is highly controversial and sensitive. Funding can influence policy positions in many ways, but the debate also includes significant ethical, medical, and legal considerations.

It is curious to note how the same actors who fund and promote abortion are also involved in promoting gender reassignment in minors.

In light of these financial connections, it is vital to reflect on the autonomy of politicians and scientists in protecting minors and women. Are scientists and politicians ensuring the holistic wellbeing of women and children or are they exposing them to unnecessary risks for the sake of promoting certain financial and political agendas?

Mercantilisation and Denaturalisation of the Human

Behind the transgender movement lies the commodification and denaturalisation of the human being. Big billionaires and powerful foundations fund and promote this pseudo-ideology globally, seeking to change the perception of gender identity from childhood onwards.

Funding and support

Billionaires and Powerful Foundations

People such as Adrian Coman, Jennifer Pritzke, Peter Buffett, Warren Buffett, and Jon Stryker have invested large sums of money in institutions and organizations that promote ‘gender identity’. These funders seek to influence society and policy at the global level.

Impact on Education and Policy

Foundations such as Arcus devote millions of dollars each year to spreading ‘gender identity’ in American law and society through leadership training and funding to colleges and universities. Other actors such as George Soros are also involved in propping up transgender movements. In short, transgender movements have evolved from civil rights struggles to powerful Lobbys that seek to influence society and policy globally, promoting ‘gender identity’ as a new understanding of human identity.

Diverse Perspectives:

1. Vision Supporting Gender Affirming Treatments:.
   • Some politicians who receive funding from billionaires and powerful foundations are more likely to support policies that facilitate access to gender-affirming treatments for minors.
   • They argue that these treatments are necessary for the mental and emotional well-being of transgender youth by promoting pseudo-ideology worldwide, seeking to change perceptions of gender identity from childhood.
   • They argue that medical professionals and parents should be free to make informed decisions about the care of transgender children.
2. Critical Perspective: The testimony of Dr. Eithan Haim, a trauma surgeon and whistleblower, presents a critical view of certain medical practices related to gender reassignment in children:
   • Questionable Medical Practices: Dr. Haim alleges to have uncovered illegal medical practices at a children's hospital related to gender-affirming care.
   • Ideological Changes in Medicine: He points to a disturbing ideological trend in medical practice that may be influencing treatment decisions.
   • Corruption and Cover-Up: Describes attempts at intimidation by the Department of Justice and corruption within the system, suggesting an effort to silence critical voices.
   • Corruption and Cover-Up: Describes attempts at intimidation by the Department of Justice and corruption within the system, suggesting an effort to silence critical voices.
   • Professional Isolation: Mentions the isolation he faced within the medical community for voicing his concerns.
   • Concern for the Welfare of Minors: Expresses deep concern about the potential suffering caused to transgender minors by medical practices he considers misleading or harmful.
   • Call for Accountability: Emphasises the need to protect vulnerable people and challenge corruption in the medical profession.

Important Considerations:

• This debate illustrates the complexity of the intersection between medicine, ethics, policy, and funding.
• It is crucial to recognize that there are diverse medical and ethical views on appropriate treatment for children experiencing gender dysphoria.
• Funding may influence policy positions and medical practices, but decisions are also informed by scientific research, medical ethics, and human rights considerations.
• It is important to critically evaluate all sources of information and consider multiple perspectives in this complex debate.
• Any medical policy or practice must prioritize the welfare and safety of the children involved.

4. Financing and Policy Positions on Climate Change

The influence of funding on policy positions on climate change is a topic of intense debate. This debate encompasses not only the influence of the fossil fuel industry but also that of environmental groups and other actors.

It is important to note that the indiscriminate banning of fossil energy technologies or sources that politicians and scientists funded by large globalist corporations seek to impose with their alarmist climate change policies could generate imbalances in energy production and favor the development of low-efficiency, high-cost renewable energies that would affect the economics of consumers who would be influenced under the control of society and policies at the global level.

Diverse Perspectives:

1. Conventional View:.
   • Some argue that certain politicians adopt skeptical stances on climate change because of the overly alarmist policies being developed by large corporations to favor the renewable energy industry and the elimination of fossil fuels.
   • In the United States, it has been observed that some politicians who receive donations from oil companies tend to oppose strong climate legislation because it would raise the price for consumers not only of energy but also of most fossil fuel products and services.
   • On the other hand, there are politicians who receive support from environmental groups and companies funded by globalist interests that promote more aggressive climate change policies.
2. Critical Perspective: Martin Durkin's documentary presents an alternative view that challenges the consensus on climate change:
   • Questioning the Scientific Consensus: Durkin argues that there is a lack of sound scientific support for alarm about climate change, suggesting that the consensus may be influenced by non-scientific factors.
   • Criticism of the Media and Big Tech: He points to a lack of critical scrutiny in the mainstream media and accuses big tech companies of censoring dissenting voices in the climate change debate.
   • Environmentalism as a Form of Control: Durkin suggests that environmentalism has become a new form of snobbery, reflecting a certain contempt for the masses and a desire to control them.
   • Green Policies and State Power: He argues that the current ruling class uses environmental policies as a means to expand state power, implementing measures that disproportionately affect the working class.
   • Suppression of Critical Voices: Highlights the lack of support for critical voices in academia and the media, suggesting a possible suppression of alternative perspectives.
   • Growing Resistance: Points to growing public resistance to green policies, suggesting dissatisfaction with proposed measures to combat climate change.
   • Suppression of Critical Voices: Highlights the lack of support for critical voices in academia and the media, suggesting possible suppression of alternative perspectives.

Important Considerations:

• The correlation between funding and political stance does not necessarily imply causation. Politicians may align themselves with certain industries or groups because of their pre-existing beliefs.
• It is crucial to critically evaluate all sources of information, including both those that support and those that challenge the climate change consensus.
• The climate change debate illustrates the complexity of the relationship between science, politics, and funding, where diverse interests can influence the public narrative and resulting policies.

5. Measures to Safeguard Scientific Integrity

To protect scientific integrity from political and financial pressures, the following measures can be considered:

To protect scientific integrity from political and financial pressures, the following measures can be considered:

1. Transparency in Funding: Require politicians and scientists to declare all their sources of funding.
2. Independent Peer Review: Ensure that scientific research is peer-reviewed without conflicts of interest.
3. Public Education: Improve the scientific literacy of the public so they can critically evaluate scientific and policy claims.
4. Institutional Separation: Establish clear barriers between scientific institutions and political influences.
5. Public Funding of Science: Increase public funding to reduce reliance on private sources with vested interests.
6. Whistleblower Protection Laws: Protect scientists who report political interference in research.

6. Conclusion

The relationship between politics, science, and funding is complex and multifaceted. While funding can influence political positions on scientific and social issues, it is crucial to recognize that other factors, such as personal beliefs and scientific evidence, also play an important role. Society must strive to maintain scientific integrity and encourage informed and transparent public debate on these critical issues.
