Cockburn quotes Frederick Seitz as an expert in his latest column.

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Seitz>

Shortly before his retirement from Rockefeller University in 1979, Seitz began working as a paid permanent consultant for the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, advising their research program.

By 1989, the CEO of R.J. Reynolds, William Hobbs, concluded that "Dr. Seitz is quite elderly and not sufficiently rational to offer advice." [2] However, in 1994, Seitz authored a report published by the George C. Marshall Institute, of which he was a founder and chairman of the board, entitled "Global warming and ozone hole controversies. A challenge to scientific judgment." In a broader discussion of environmental toxins, he concluded "there is no good scientific evidence that passive inhalation is truly dangerous under normal circumstances." [3]

The Cold Hard Facts: Frederick Seitz was once credible and famous. He was once President of the National Academy of Sciences, an organization which has repudiated Seitz's counterfeit NAS anti-Kyoto petition fraud. The reason that RJ Reynolds tobacco company bought Seitz was that his reputation was worth the money they agreed to spend. A "nobody" would not help them conceal the murders which they were premeditatedly engaged in conducting, falsifying the true state of medical knowledge of the DEADLY dangers of their hazardous products.

The evidence which convicts Seitz in the tobacco corporate serial murders numbers a collection of 40 million pages, or 4 million whole documents, online by court order after conspiracy trials conducted by 46 of the 50 US states Attorney Generals. Nobody can ever be sued for libel by using these public documents which have passed due process of law in court trials once already.

From 1975 through 1989, Seitz was visibly associated with tobacco payments, but after 1989 his connection goes under cover. From the records unearthed we know the many criminal conspiracy methods the tobacco companies used to hide payments to covert agents, including using lawyers as intermediaries to make all the contacts and deliver the payoffs because they could refuse to testify in court under "attorney-client" priviledge. A multi-layered game of pretenses was used by everybody to pretend that there was no financial ties between various culprits.

S. Fred Singer

Bruce N. Ames Seitz and Singer are tied together, and to tobacco by secret files wrenched from the tobacco conspirators file cabinets, but not every key document or cancelled check has been recovered and published so far. By 1990 Seitz disappears from tobacco company public connections, but SEPP is born. Neither SEPP nor Seitz has ever gone on public record as to the date of Seitz first involvement with SEPP, but Seitz has been board member and vice-president going back as far as public records still existing are available.

From public documentation we can demonstrate that SEPP (Science and Environmental Policy Project) was corrupt at inception, that it involved Seitz and Bruce N. Ames in various corrupt activities in its early history, that a pattern of corrupt behavior is publically established, and therefore appearances of corruption in other organizations associated with members of this crew are presumptively also actually corrupt.

Jerry Falwell & Moon Convicted felon Sun Myung Moon has hosted "science conferences" with a hidden agenda for three decades. He spends the money so he can be photographed giving speeches to "important people", and increase his propaganda value to gullible followers who don't understand science yet fear and respect it. Moon picked up S. Fred Singer at some unrecorded time in the past, probably at one of these mock-science gatherings. In 1990 we have recorded evidence that Singer is president and director of a Moon front organization named Washington Institute for Values in Public Policy, located in a Moonie owned office building.

Singer has claimed that the moonies loaned him offices for a year, and gave a charity grant of $10,000 startup money for SEPP. That is a lie. Singer was located in that building for three years, and He, Singer himself, gave SEPP whatever money they needed to operate that additional front organ. The Washington Institute has been very generous to "president" or "board members". Here is an IRS document showing one year that another Washington Institute president gave himself $142,708 salary, a Singer-sized salary. A pal of Singer's, Gerhard Stohrer applied for tobacco money on Washington Institute letterhead during Fred Singer's term as president of the front operation.

A non-profit watchdog organization created an interactive database to illustrate the slippery schemes of ExxonMobil's criminal conspiracy to deceive about Global Warming in the same manner that the tobacco criminal conspiracy deceived and committed corporate serial murders. Seitz, Singer, and Ames all appear in the database as crooked scientists lying for money. I created a graphic using their software interface and saved it to disk to share with you readers. By using this link: http://stopexxon.unfortu.net/index.php?mapid=95, you can go online and explore further connections and people aiding and abetting this broad conspiracy to commit crimes against humanity and mass murder. Unfortunately, their database was far from fully up-to-date at the time I created these graphics. I have notified them of many missing links they need to add to make a correct picture of this criminal conspiracy. It is funded by other lung pollution fortunes, like Killer Koch Industries (Koch Oil), Richard Maniac Scaife (Gulf Oil), and a few snake oil fortunes like Microsoft, Murdoch (Fox News), Moon (Washington Times, UPI), Coors (John Birch Society), Olin (chlorine and Black Talon bullets), and Earhart Foundation (White Oil fortune).

While Fred Seitz's role is not as big as Singer's, the $45,000,000 diversion smokescreen he operated on behalf of the tobacco murderers is the most obvious, easiest to prove. By exposing the utter corruption of Fred Seitz, the think tank that is a central nexis in the Anti-Global-Warming science frauds can be defanged: the George C. Marshall Institute.

FACTSHEET: FREDERICK SEITZ DETAILS Chairman, Science and Environmental Policy Project. Chairman Emeritus, George Marshall Institute. President Emeritus, Rockefeller University. Board Member, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow. Former Science Advisory Board, The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition.

A June 2000 Business Week article referred to physicist Frederick Seitz as "the granddaddy of global-warming skeptics". Seitz was once a director and shareholder of a company that operated coal-fired power plants.

Dr. Seitz is a former President of the National Academy of Sciences, but the Academy disassociated itself from Seitz in 1998 when Seitz headed up a report designed to look like an NAS journal article saying that carbon dioxide poses no threat to climate. The report, which was supposedly signed by 15,000 scientists, advocated the abandonment of the Kyoto Protocol. The NAS went to unusual lengths to publically distance itself from Seitz' article. Seitz signed the 1995 Leipzig Declaration.

Seitz is a recipient of the National Medal of Science. "In 1983 he reeived the Fourth Vannevar Bush Award presented by the National Science Board of the National Science Foundation and the R. Loveland Memorial Award of the American College of Physicians. Dr. Seitz is currently a member of the New York City Commission for Science and Technology and has served as chair of the United States delegation to the U.N. Committee on Science and Technology for Development." (Seitz biography)
