I am a scientist, professional ethics and scientific methodology impose on us a spatio-temporal distance, the scientific posture and ethos impose on us the distance from any emotion, and from ideological preferences, that is why scientific methodology and scientific techniques require us to deny all emotions, human emotions are our greatest weaknesses, the second greatest weakness is sensation or sensualization to observe because the senses deceive us, they do not allow us to take precise and exact measurements of all dimensions, not just heat, or temperature, as well as the perception of distance and time, of speed and acceleration, of depth, of ph and acidity, therefore, the scientist becomes non-human to be a researcher, for that he needs to debug his language, never use adjectives, and judgments since judgment and judgments are the consequence of the impression that precise numerical data should make secondarily in the process of psychological impact on people who will read or listen to the information collected coldly by scientists.

 

What is not lacking at the moment is the war of censorship and of opinion about the events currently taking place in Ukraine, since we are not dealing with war, such the disproportion of forces involved, it was an invasion or occupation, how could we qualify the presence in a another territory of an uninvited foreign military force, thus, the US military forces are since the second world war in the foreign territory in Okinawa Japan without the consent of the Japanese people since the second world war, 1944, so it is present in the Germany and Italy for the same reasons, the same military forces, so changing the name of war to occupation, or invasion does not change the concrete fact of having the presence of a military force from a country that is present in another country without having been authorized to be there and there to remain indefinitely.

 

Throughout history, we have always perceived a rule of abuse of power that presents itself as the ease with which a much superior military force imposes itself on another national group, asserting through the threat of influence and intimidation its desire to plunder the riches and the hijacking autonomy and sovereignty, forbidding others to develop their military arsenal so as not to threaten their superiority, thus invent false moral dilemmas that do not apply to themselves about the dangers of nuclear weapons, rocket and missile technology, of submarines, aircraft, satellites, explosives, always in a veiled way to protect others from the dangers against themselves, seeks to keep the internal politics of others under extreme control with false dangers created with the theses of pseudo scientists about forced threats on the destruction on earth of natural resources, on its own version of human rights principles, on its own versions and models of dem cracy, social rights, the rights of ethnic and religious minorities, in short, any litigation that can serve as a lever and a wedge for its automatic and divine superior intrusion into the admonition and application of disproportionate sanctions just to constrain and keep the other under control, control over the purchase and sales of strategic military weapons, access to advanced technologies, everything that can be controlled under a benevolent and quite moralistic, humanitarian, false, hypocritical, lying, deceitful, perverse, cynical, veiled, abusive and tearful speech.
