THIS IS A STORY ABOUT THE RIDICULOUS HYPOCRISY OF THE EPA.

THERE IS A GROUP CALLED THE CONCERNED SCIENTISTS, THE

UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS AND THEY JUST WANTED

INFORMATION ABOUT THE EPA'S TRANSPARENCY POLICY.

THEY COULD NOT FIND IT SO THEY FILED A FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

ACT REQUEST AND THEY FINALLY GOT THIS INFORMATION ABOUT THE

EPA'S TRANSPARENCY POLICY.

OBVIOUSLY IMPLYING THAT THIS IS THE POLICY TO MAKE US YOU

COULD FIND THE EPA.

THEY HAD TO DO A HUGE REQUEST FOR IT.

THEY WERE PUT UP, THE INFORMATION WAS PUT UP ON A

WEBSITE, A FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT WEBSITE AND

HOW LONG DID IT STAY UP FOR?

THEY WERE UP, THE TRANSPARENCY POLICY WAS UP FOR THREE OR

FOUR DAYS BEFORE IT WAS ABSOLUTELY TAKEN DOWN.

BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE THAT TRANSPARENT.

TRANSPARENT JUST FOR THREE DAYS.

AT THE EVENT FOR THIS, THEY TOOK NO QUESTIONS, NO MEMBERS OF THE

PRESS OR MAJOR PUBLICATIONS WERE INVITED AND THEY TOOK A LONG

TIME TO SEND OUT THE RELEASE ITSELF AND DID NOT RESPOND TO

PETITIONS OR QUESTIONS FROM PEOPLE AFTER THAT.

AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THERE IS SOME CHANCE THAT THEY

STRUGGLE WITH WORDS.

CERTAINLY HE DOES, SO THEY MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT TRANSPARENT

MEANS.

THE TRANSPARENCY POLICY OF THE EPA IS ACTUALLY DESIGNED

TO MAKE THINGS MORE OPAQUE.

THEY WANT TO PUT RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT KINDS OF STUDIES YOU CAN

PUT OUT THERE THAT CAN INFORM THE WAY THAT THEY MAKE EPA

POLICY, SO THEY WANT TO MAKE A SO IT IS ONLY COMPLETELY

PUBLIC STUDIES AND NOT ONES THAT HIDE THE INFORMATION, YOUR

PERSONAL MEDICAL INFORMATION.

BUT THAT IS RIDICULOUS.

IT REMOVES A

LOT OF A LOT OF STUDIES AND EFFECTIVELY RENDERS A LOT OF

STUDIES, THEY WOULD NEED TO BE RE-CREATED IN A WAY THAT WOULD

BE INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT, SO THE WAY SCIENTISTS DO RESEARCH, THEY

COLLECT INFORMATION FROM PEOPLE, THEY GET IT LOOKED OVER UNDER

THE AUSPICES OF THE UNIVERSITY, THERE IS PEER-REVIEWED.

THESE THINGS ARE TO CHECK METHODOLOGY AND STATISTICS,

NOT JUST GET IN THE WAY OF OIL COMPANIES AND ETHICALLY, LET'S

SAY THERE WAS A RESEARCH STUDY THAT DID NOT FOLLOW THE

TRANSPARENCY GUIDELINES BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO PROTECT YOUR

PERSONAL IDENTITY IF YOU ARE POISONED BY A COAL PLANT, THE

ONLY WAY TO RE-CREATE THAT WOULD BE EXTREMELY UNETHICAL.

YOU HAVE TO EXPOSE PEOPLE INTENTIONALLY TO CALL OR

WHATEVER POLLUTANT AND THAT IS JUST SO AGAINST THE SCIENTIFIC

ETHIC OF THE SCIENTISTS WHO WOULD BE BEHIND IT.

OR IN ESSENCE, THIS BECOMES

LIKE MACRO-DOXING THING.

DOXING ALL OF

THESE FOLKS AND SO IT IS A WIN-WIN FOR THE REPUBLICANS.

EITHER WE'RE GOING OUT THESE FOLKS OR HAHA, YOU'RE GOING

TO GET NO TRANSPARENCY AT ALL.
