[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has degenerated into what's wrong with each FFRDC - as if what's wrong the FFRDC was the problem.  It's not.

This Administration is about controlling facts and analysis.  All contradictory facts and analysis are thought crimes and any organization/process that might generate a thought crime and all results from prior crimes - regulations, laws, ... have been/are being eliminated through a combination of defunding, personnel replacement, Schedule F, EOs, ...

Under this administration, one source of thought crimes are the FFRDCs.  FFRDCs were set up/funded for 60+ years to be [b]in the business of generating thought crimes[/b].  Prior administrations didn't always love the crimes, but they didn't just accept that it was OK for the FFRDCs to generate them, the Feds helped set up and funded them (as well as many Federal facts and analysis orgs that also generate such crimes - NIH, FDA, NCAR, BLS) because they understood their value.

A posting on the Political Discussion thread https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/330/1316799.page illustrates the value of thought crimes (as the current Administration would have them).  It discusses a Salon article https://www.salon.com/2026/03/11/the-us-had-a-blueprint-to-avoid-civilian-war-casualties-trump-officials-scrapped-it-partner/ about a DoD organization that was spawned from a [b]Rand[/b] analysis/report.  The purpose of the Org was minimization of civilian casualties in war with effects as needed on rules of engagement.  Among their recommendations/changes were, to the extent possible, ensuring that targeting information was based on current information.  160 schoolgirls died because Hesgeth made sure that wasn't done.

So, what's an organization built to develop thought crimes to do?  Continue to generate crimes until the Administration zeroes out their funding thus putting them out of business? Stop being an organization for development of thought crimes and, instead, develop approved lies on alternative facts? Attempt to get this Administration to understand the value of thought crimes?

Agreed. Good point.
