This seems like the perfect opportunity to redpill /pol/ newfags on all of this. See this Jewish man? This is Robert Maxwell, father of Ghislaine Maxwell and creator of Pergamon Press, the first scientific journal with the specific purpose of turning scientific knowledge into profit. Maxwell's tactic was simple: he would first invite prominent scientists to the most expensive dinner of their life and write them a big fat check in exchange for exclusive publishing of all their future papers on his journal, then he would request a large subscription fee from anyone trying to access the papers, whether it was for use or for peer review. This led to science being transformed into a business even larger than the music and movie industries. After Maxwell's death in 1991, another scientific journal named Elsevier went on to buy Pergamon Press for close to $1 billion. At the same time, it cut off all the payments to the scientists and continued to raise the subscription fees higher and higher every year, up to the ridiculous point of today in which the paywall is so high that only governments, universities and giant corporations can afford to access those papers.

The consequences of this scientific gatekeeping have been many and catastrophic:
>scientists do not actually see a cent out of the fees to access the papers they write anymore, in fact they now have to pay to have their paper on a scientific journal in the first place; all the money goes to the journal
>a few carefully selected (((editors))) get hired to do the vast majority of all the peer reviewing, leading to bullshit papers not being challenged for decades
>scientists who don't publish papers on famous scientific journals every year end up losing their job, which means scientists can no longer afford to do long-term researches and be productive in their field
>the quality of the papers no longer has any importance, all that matters is their number and how politically convenient they are (studies on covid-19 are what 2020 is all about, the years before it was gender studies)
>in order to stay relevant, universities and colleges have to buy the entire catalogues of these journals, which cost several millions of dollars; this has led higher education to being more and more ridiculously expensive every single year
>any unathorized person who tries to share scientific papers on the Internet (even those that have public access) gets legally persecuted and asked to pay millions of dollars; among these people was also Aaron Swartz, canceled founder of Reddit, who ended up killing himself at 26
>scientific journals have obtained a complete monopoly on knowledge, which is setting back human progress as a whole by decades, if not centuries

This is the video that originally opened my eyes on all of this:

There are now also many questions to be asked about Ghislaine Maxwell.
>what did Ghislaine inherit from her father?
>what's her involvement with Reddit?
>how much cryptocurrency did she create and obtain?
>why was Mossad so desperate to protect her?
>does she have top-secret technology on her hands?

>reee why do things cost money
fuck off socialist commie scum

This doesn't even scratch the surface of what 'Robert Maxwell' did and stood for
Hint: it was the publishing arm of Paperclip (and he sold it all to Israel and the USSR)
