Scientist in Canada

The title above is not mine. This is the title of the next editorial in Can.Med.Ass.J. (March 27, 2007):
http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/176/7/905

The editorial was written by Wayne Kondro (who wrote the previous piece) and by Dr. Paul Hébert, recently named as CMAJ Editor-in-chief.

They are asking this question:
“Why has Canada lagged so far behind its Western counterparts in establishing comprehensive mechanisms and processes to deal with scientific misconduct?”

One of the possible answers they give, is this:
“The mistaken notion that secrecy is in the best interest of all concerned because it shields institutions and individuals from having their reputations tarnished?”

So, they did not publish my letter, they are participating in the conspiracy of silence, and, they have the temerity to ask: May be we should blame the secrecy?

Very interestingly, in the last part of the editorial, they say: “Let’s not wait for the next scandal.”
Well, of course, everybody, including the staff of CMAJ, is waiting for the next scandal, more precisely, for the results of the bloody provocation.

Is it an absolute dishonesty?

Is it an absolute dishonesty fortified by bribes?

It is a routine procedure in Canadian academia to cover up plagiarism and other fraud. The last issue of Can.Med.Assoc.J. admits this. It starts thus:

“It’s the classic Canadian response to a problem like scientific misconduct, says Toronto physician– scientist Dr. Paul Pencharz. “Deny, deny, deny. Sweep it under the carpet.”

However, this organization is corrupt also. They did not even publish my letter to the Editor. This letter follows here.

Re: Call for arm’s-length national research integrity agency

There is no doubt that some highly placed individuals in Canadian academia act as a criminal organisation, committing fraud in research and higher education. I am the victim of such fraud. My case and the documents are posted on the Internet: “University of Toronto Fraud” at http://ca.geocities.com/uoftfraud/.

This fraud started in 1986 and is continuing now. My PhD supervisor, Ellen Larsen, had removed me, after five years of my very successful research from the University of Toronto by making a fraudulent academic decision, and then stole my research and my discoveries. Despite all my complaints, University of Toronto and then - NSERC only continued the fraud.

The case of Prof. V. Fabrikant in Concordia University is well known. In Concordia, the integrity of research was violated, Fabrikant’s legitimate complaints were ignored, moreover, he was threatened. He, in fact, was provoked for violence.

Yet, the Fabrikant case was not a good lesson for the corrupt academia: when documents of my case were received, they were treated the same way - officials continued the fraud. It is not possible to believe that the corrupt academia does not understand what it is doing the second time: this new provocation is continuing for twenty years now.

President of NSERC and its other officials, in my case, have committed concealment of fraud: instead of referring the case to the prosecution (which was a specific point in NSERC policy), they gave the same university administration that committed the fraud to “investigate” it. NSERC has intentionally covered up the fraud, supplied ridiculous “justifications” for it and was sending me one lie after another. All this is in the documents.

It can not be believed that the proposition to establish some new agency was even made seriously. Paul Pencharz knows very well about the fraud in his university. Jim Turk knows this very well also, the exchange of e-mails between him, UofT, CAUT and me is posted on my web site. All this is a criminal, indecent game.

Eventually, when corruption has corroded the officialdom, the victim whose life was destroyed should be able to find a way to expose the criminals in the press. In Canada it is not possible. This puts an end to the peaceful quest for justice.

 ***

RCMP (fraud and corruption division) also covered up the fraud in my case. Responding to my complaint, RCMP refused to investigate the fraud at the University of Toronto, giving completely fraudulent reasons:
1) Instead of investigating the evidence, they stated that, generally speaking, it is difficult to prove whose research it was. The documents they received from me (including two letters from the professors-experts one of whom was President of Canadian Genetics Society), however, proved without any doubt that the research was mine and that it was plagiarized by my supervisor.
2) RCMP also lied that it had no jurisdiction to investigate the fraud; no explanation or any reference to the law was given.

As many others, I believed for years that Valery Fabrikant’s explanation for shootings in Concordia University, namely, that he felt his life was threatened, may not be true.

However, I now have discovered a document written in 1994 by his former graduate student, Dr. E. N. Karapetian, giving a number of dirty and shocking details of what really took place, the details previously unknown to me and to the public at large. Among the details: Before the shootings, Fabrikant tried to assert his authorship of some scientific articles in a civil suit, and, strangely, he was criminally charged with the contempt of court that was found… in his university e-mails. That was followed by the threats that “anything can happen in jail” to him if he is convicted of the contempt of court.

We certainly know (see Prof. Arthurs Report) that Fabrikant was right in his accusations against Concordia. And now, it appears that he also had very good reason to be afraid that the professors were planning to kill him. (I have a number of other reports and comments on Fabrikant case that are no longer on the Internet. If you wish to see them, please, ask me.)

The letter of Karapetian contains evidence partly given by Fabrikant and partly by Karapetian.

This letter reveals, quite correctly, the psychology of a honest and reasonable man provoked beyond human endurance, in a state of utter despair intentionally induced by criminals.

The letter is copied on several sites on the Internet. Read this letter: http://www.vic.com/~dbd/minifaqs/fabrikant.faq

It now appears that, indeed, some figures in Canadian universities operate as a criminal organization. For the corrupt Canadian academia Fabrikant case was not enough; the criminals were not punished, and, subsequently, my case was taken as the next opportunity to show their unlimited criminal power. They continue operating with the full support of the Government and are never touched by the media.
