It was the very ORTHODOXY of their economic theories that doomed Hitler,Tojo and Mussolini

Devotedly orthodox economist Robert Solow won the 1987 Nobel Prize basically for just one very famous 1974 quote, taken a bit out of context:

"If it is very easy to substitute other things for natural resources, then there is, in principle, no problem. The world, in effect, can get along without natural resources."

But since he was born in 1924 and was only nine when Hitler came to power, he can hardly be blamed for acting as Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo's unofficial economic advisor.

Like Admiral Byng, but in reverse, AlexanderFleming was given a Nobel prize "pour encourager les autres"

Alexander Fleming pursued, preserved and publicized a foolish observation that turned out to be.... not so foolish after all.

Aside from VEGEMITE, what did Aussies Gray & Duhig have that Alexander Fleming totally lacked ? (Moral Fervour)

6 million might have lived

In the Fall of 1943, fifteen years after Nobel Prize winner Alexander Fleming proved that penicillin - at least his method of making penicillin - could NOT save lives, two intrepid Aussies using his very same penicillin strain and his very same methods (right down to the use of Seitz asbestos filter pads) plucked a half dozen patients from the jaws of certain death.

'Nasty' Abbott and Howard Florey : told they'd be important from day they were born

the new Howard Florey ?

Reading David Marr's fascinating walkabout through the early years of the next Aussie PM, A. 'Nasty' Abbott, an astute student of that other hard-driving Aussie, Howard Florey, can't help but see similarities in how both men's families deliberately distorted their only son's personality to suit their parental dreams.

"PETER C GLOVER" to receive NOBEL for 5th law of thermodynamics ?

GLOVER takes the Fifth

Peter C Glover, the well known evangelist, is said to be set to receive the Nobel Prize for Theology for formulating (stepping in for God) the Fifth Law of Thermodynamics : "Thou can not change the Climate, get over it".

"Member" of HOUSE OF LORDS ensnared in claim that global warming is a JEWISH conspiracy

Viscount Monckton, fond of announcing that he is a member of the House of Lords and winner of the Nobel Prize, now finds himself embroiled in a growing scandal surrounding The Galileo Movement , the well known climate changer denier group that says global warming is a JEWISH conspiracy.

Malcolm Roberts, the managing director of the group recently told Ben Cubby of Australia's biggest daily, the Sydney Morning Herald, that climate change science has been "captured" by some of the world's major "banking families" who form a "tightly-knit cabal".

These "dog whistle" phrases are well known for being coded references to the old faked book, The Protocols of the Elders of  Zion, a text that claims Jewish bankers are conspiring to take over the world and much used by Hitler to justify the Holocaust.


The morality of the  Cliveden Set re-visited : silently assent - or not - to rising tide of anti-semitism in the world of deniers


The Viscount Monckton, a member of the Galileo Movement's board of scientific advisors , now faces a moral dilemma : face a bruising public clash with his fellow deniers over this racial slur ---- or silently assent to it, to keep the deeply fractured denier movement united a short time longer .......
