Politically Prostituting NASA

Politically Prostituting NASA

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden is a graduate of the Naval Academy, a retired, highly decorated Marine major general, and a former astronaut. Bolden is also a dutiful politician.

NASA’s website cites the agency’s aim to “pioneer the future in space exploration and aeronautic research” and outlines its “vision”: “To reach for new heights and reveal the unknown so that what we do and learn will benefit all humankind.”

There is no mention anywhere on the NASA site of getting involved international politics, such as improving relations with Islam, or promoting the global warming scam but both are on its agenda.

Bolden demonstrated that NASA’s mission had radically changed a year after he was named administrator when he said during an interview with Al Jazeera, the Arabic language news network. Under Bolden, NASA’s is being politicized and its “foremost” mission is to improve relations with the Muslim world, and not space exploration or aeronautic research.

He told Al Jazeera that he was “ordered” to effectively forget NASA’s historic mission of space pioneering, etc. and to adopt a totally new and markedly different goal. As Bolden admitted to the voice of Islam, “Obama wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science. . . and math and engineering.”

At the behest of his boss, Bolden was abandoning NASA’s position as the world’s pre-eminent scientific body in order to serve “foremost” as cheerleaders for ancient Muslim achievements, that is, to fulfill Barack Hussein Obama’s political ambition to suck up to Islam and help Muslims “feel good” about themselves.

That extreme departure contradicted the president’s own words spoken in March, 2009.

At that time, he said, “Let’s be clear: promoting science isn’t just about providing resources–it is also about protecting free and open inquiry. It is about letting scientists . . . do their jobs, . . . It is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda–and that we make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology.”

Except when those decisions and facts conflict with Obama’s ideology.

NASA has again departed from its mission on another Obama pet issue–the lie of anthropogenic global warming. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=21481.)
