SCIENTISTS, WHERE ARE YOU?
Commentary #048
May 18, 2011
It may be a bit understandable when 
    a lot of the mainstream public doesn't get that excited or jump up and down 
    over past news releases as to what Mars may be about. After all, such official 
    information is always based on the accepted official science consensus that 
    the Mars surface is a dry, frozen, barren, hostile place devoid of water and 
    life. So what's to get excited about?
    
    After all the general public's frame of reference is mostly families, what 
    they experience every day, and what they are most familiar with here on Earth. 
    Normally they just don't think that much about it and take information on 
    the closest planets for granted. So, except for a few, they frequently just 
    don't understand the full implications and place their trust in institutions 
    like NASA created to represent them in such matters.
    
    On the other hand, the well educated science community has no such excuse 
    and especially those of you specializing in the geology and biology related 
    fields with that unique insight where it is your professional business to 
    know more as to such matters. So what would be your reaction to any serious 
    revelation about the existence of surface water in a 
    liquid state on Mars or extensive old growth 
    forest plant life, all backed up by the official science exploration 
    data itself? Never gonna happen you say! Well when you see the hard visual 
    evidence at the link below 
/evidence-reports/2011/199/book-water-forests.htm
of multiple dark lakes of standing water in a liquid state on Mars surrounded by vegetation forests, you may begin to think otherwise. You will quickly have a very good idea of its implications and its ability to undermine the previously for decades well accepted official consensus position on Mars. You know that this is by official consensus science suppose to be impossible. It is so contrary to the current accepted view that you also know that someone is got to be very wrong. Likewise, when you see the hard visual evidence at the link below
/evidence-reports/2011/200/mars-biolife-samples.htm
of what clearly appears to be vast 
    super densely packed old growth forest plant life on Mars. Once again you'll 
    quickly have a very good idea of its implications and again its ability to 
    undermine the previously well accepted for years official position on the 
    impossibility of biological major form plant life on this planet. Again you 
    know that it means someone has got to be very wrong and you know who that 
    is likely going to be. You also know that seriously considering this evidence 
    may lead you into conflict with the official consensus supported by your profession, 
    peers, academia, and employers.
    
    With that in mind, the automatic reaction amounts to scientists too quickly 
    dismissing this contrary evidence from constructive thinking and analysis 
    perceiving it as too much change too quick and a threat to the status quo. 
    There is a knee jerk reaction rationalizing that such information is coming 
    from a lone small source with likely insufficient credentials. That equates 
    to the likelihood of questionable character justifying making it worthy of 
    dismissal. But, that kind of behavior is still wrong and, worse, you know 
    it. The only thing that counts is the truth verifiable 
    in the official science data quite apart from any messenger.
    
    Surface water in the south polar regions of Mars, especially surface water 
    in a liquid unfrozen state, as indicated by the verifiable visual evidence 
    in Report #199, is thought to be not just impossible when temperatures are 
    officially suppose to be so far below freezing and the atmosphere is suppose 
    to be 95+% CO2 with only very tiny trace amounts of 
    atmospheric moisture. Also, we haven't even gotten into pressure considerations. 
    As you are well aware, that kind of contrary evidence once again means that 
    something is very wrong.
    
    Likewise, a variety of vegetative forests in the south polar region, especially 
    vast huge old growth forests that take a lot of time and favorable conditions 
    to reach that kind of super dense coverage, are also just not possible, especially 
    when temperatures are suppose to be so far below freezing that can fracture 
    metal must less vulnerable organic plant cells. Again, that means that something 
    is very wrong.
    
    But, I don't have to explain the implications to you. The question then becomes 
    who has the wrong of it? But then the issue isn't really just who is wrong 
    now is it?
    
    If the official consensus is wrong, then there is a real problem because that 
    consensus is built on decades and layers upon layers of accumulated science 
    data that influenced your own science training. So scientists will anticipate 
    instinctively that the official science data has a real problem. Further, 
    it is not likely to have happened by chance or incompetency only and is likely 
    to have happened via manipulation subsequently believed to be truth but isn't. 
    You know that coming to such a conclusion will put institutions like NASA 
    and JPL in very bad light and your profession along with it in accepting the 
    consensus as truth.
    
    You know that, if you go down this path very far, you will likely wind up 
    in isolation with the largest science employers in the world (NASA, JPL, etc.) 
    and most of your own consensus science community and academia aligned against 
    you. As a scientist so dependent on reputation and university academia, it 
    is obviously not the way to achieve employment and funding to support a comfortable 
    private and professional life.
    
    So expediency rules and automatic dismissal of the potentially offending evidence 
    is the quick easy way out, no matter whether it represents truth or not and 
    it becomes the accepted norm. It is a sad scenario where the truth concept 
    given so much lip service in science profession standards is via expediency 
    knowingly avoided in favor of that which is not truth but which preserves 
    the status quo and the flawed system. Yes leave it to Man to avoid and corrupt 
    truth when it represents difficulty!
    
    On the other hand, well documented and verifiable 
    hard visual science data evidence like that exampled in Reports #199 and #200, 
    at this website and especially in my book "The 
    Hidden Truth: Water & Life on Mars," verifiable and fixed in 
    time and place remains to cause problems for the expedient. Truth is like 
    that, in the end hard to suppress and get away from.
    
    We need to understand that we are all at the nexus point on this space exploration 
    business. The truth is going to come out simply because it is the truth and 
    real whereas fantasy is not real and is a basket that will not hold any water. 
    In an age where wide spread electronic communication for the mainstream public 
    is the ever increasing norm, secrets of all kinds are subject to the process 
    of erosion. Further, with fast universal communications, collapse and change 
    can happen very fast as common people resisting tyranny are now demonstrating 
    in the Mid-East and north Africa. In fact, as we reach out to the frontiers 
    of outer and inner space, what we encounter there literally guarantees the 
    inevitable collapse of secrecy and especially the older larger secrets.
    
    When the collapse of this secrecy comes fast and suddenly, any scientists 
    that embrace objective truth prior to it becoming 
    common place will be viewed by posterity as visionaries and leaders. On the 
    other hand, those doggedly continuing to embrace the past fantasy will be 
    regarded as incompetent and debris to be left behind. In other words, save 
    yourself! The Earth is not flat even though it is complicated!
    
    I urge you to accept the risk now and step up. Become involved. Consider yourself 
    challenged to give the contrary Mars surface water and forest bio-life evidence 
    here an honest objective examination and consider that we have all been played 
    by those we trusted. Beyond that level of objectivity, let your conscious 
    be your guide. No one can ask more.
