US Physicists Make Weapons of Mass Financial Destruction


I read with interest your articles in Rense.com. In the present article you
mentioned a you mentioned a PhD physicist and quoted from his letter to
the NY Post. That physicist is me.

I did my PhD from University of ---. I had a grade point average of over
4.9/5.0. But I tried to just stick with physics and I am glad that I did so.

People with training in disciplines like physics can do great work, but
they can also be used to create havoc by powers that be.

Without physicists, no matter how much money you have you cannot make
a nuclear reactor (for good) or nuclear bomb (for bad).

It must be mentioned that in the USA most of the physics research is
supported by the Federal Government in one way or another. In the mid
90's due to serious budget cuts, research money started drying up.
Hundreds of PhDs were competing for one university job. So many gave up
and went for other options. Those were in banks and financial institutions.

As the employers who earlier employed physicists to make atom bombs got
their bombs made, similarly the employers in banks and other financial
sectors got the physicists, mathematicians and others with technical
skills to make these weapons of financial destructions (WFDs) which
they have finally started to release.

This present situation is plain and simple warfare by the rich to grab
all they can from the middleclass and poor. The WFDs are the choice
weapon as they are the ultimate destroyers of life, liberty and persuit of
happyness but preservers of real estate.

I do not know, but you may want to look how these financial institutions
went after physicists and mathematicians and what was their purpose of
hiring so many so called 'rocket scientists.' I even saw a poster from Surrey
University, UK, about graduate studies with physics and finance.

I do not want to downgrade physicists (and I hope I am wrong) but one
needs to examine their involvement very carefully to understand the
dynamics of the present chaos.

Interesting. I, too, know a physicist who is doing accounting at the moment. On the one hand, he is certainly not trying to trash the system. On the other hand, one wonders if this trend is a way to get people who are very good at math but have no idea how their equations sum up the fall and the destruction...
