CORRUPTION OF SCIENCE
I know that any reader of this blog is, right now, ahead of me on the complex cases that have paralyzed again. All the information this week, I remember that our self-made expert on the DRC, formerly of the UN, former ICG, co-author of the famous UN report that precipitated the outbreak of Umoja wetu, now acting in the role of the innocent face of an independent journalist-cum-philanthropist at university. That's Jason Stearns which I speak. His postings, however, can easily betray the apparent innocence, and show a watermark for whom he works. We can also see a new way chosen by a Euro-American establishment to send us the warning signs, except signs confirmatory claims calendars. A little work on how the singers of all organizations who claim to humanitarian and entrepreneurial as we see contributing to cutting the DRC with such gusto.
In an effort to intellectualism, this week we introduced several initiatives or seen his nose in their inspiration, perhaps. These are initiatives to promote the regulation or control, if you will, of mining in Eastern DRC. He tells us inter alia that there are two bills before the U.S. Congress probably on sexual violence in DRC and the control of the supply chain in natural resources. It seems that a deputy secretary has been charged with planning a strategy for conflict related to minerals. Where we see the inspiration is when he says he has already explained that the cause of conflict in DRC is not found in the ores. It is likely that he gave his opinion and in this I agree with him that trying to control the chain the exploitation and export of mines not solve conflicts. He was surprised that these initiatives have found a more positive reception that the campaign for the withdrawal of MONUC. What amazes me is that it adds to show how initiatives are realized. Excuse me for quoting him in English but I do not want to risk distorted the meaning of his words by an improper translation: "This past weekend, Stanford University has recommended icts That the Board of Trustees take minerals in the Congo conflict Into consideration in icts investment portfolio. They Said: We recommend thats the University vote in Favor of well-written and reasonable shareholder resolutions That companies ask for reports on Their Policies and Their efforts regarding conflict avoidance of conflict and minerals derived minerals. This last piece of text which makes me think of the corruption of science. In other words, since when is it that-a university that respects itself can be an approach as superficial as that contained in these four lines.
DRC chronically suffers from a disease or a short-sighted policy that would restore the state, and here is a prestigious university that calls itself appears to support, I mean an approach that fund, rather than solving the problem of eastern DRC is more complicated. Does Stanford works for the gangsters who bleed the country through Joseph Kabila and his gang of plutocrats? Is Stanford University working for James Kabarebe and his buddies who wanted to annihilate the Congolese General Laurent Nkunda because he worked to restore an environment that would allow the restoration of a true authority of the state. I can not believe that nokos Kigs to go until then. And even if I thought I would find it harder to believe that a university which respects itself to offering an aspirin to cure brain cancer. The only reason that I find is that perhaps our expert was able to present their this as a research project. Since when do we want to reduce the university methods NGO banal? That's why I think we're here on the way to corruption of science, its use for slowing down the peace. Really, really time that Nkunda resumed his job before these people who push Joseph Kabila dépiécer the country have not finished. It was the stuff of military course next Tuesday, but I do not expect much so much so that by appointing James Kabarebe defense minister, the general Kagame has made two things at once, keep the guy more (the guy was going to say destroy) and provide opportunities to the military court to decline jurisdiction as the previous ones. I bet she will say incompetent to judge his minister!! Unless the nokos not surprise me for once in my evidence to the contrary. Do you see a Rwandan court to judge the great James Kabarebe, not because he should not submit to what the English call it double jeopardy.
