<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The lawsuit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Washington D.C.,

claims that most of the members of the independent scientific review

committee are not independent. The suit said that 22 of the 26 members

received a combined $192 million in EPA grant money and are dependent on

the agency for research funds.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">It was filed by the Energy and Environment Legal Institute, a

Washington, D.C.-based group that has previously filed lawsuits

challenging EPA regulation of particulate matter pollution and other

issues. The institute describes itself as an “organization engaged in

strategic litigation, policy research, and public education on important

energy and environmental issues.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The institute was joined in the suit by plaintiffs including the Western States Trucking Association.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“I think we have a pretty good case because the law requires that

this panel be independent and unbiased, and it’s clear to us that it is

not,” Steve Milloy, co-counsel for the plaintiffs, told Trucks.com. “The

EPA has poured ungodly amounts of money over the years to these

researchers, so how could they go against the EPA’s stance on PM2.5?”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">That is the designation for particulate matter — including dust, dirt

and soot — that is 2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller and

considered by the EPA to have the most harmful health effects.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Milloy said the institute believes that science does not support

EPA’s position that exposure to PM2.5 is harmful to people and the

environment.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“We are asking the court to prevent the EPA from convening the panel

until the panel can be formed in a balanced manner in compliance with

applicable laws,” said David Schnare, the institute’s general counsel

and a former EPA official.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">John Walke, clean air director for the Natural Resources Defense

Council, said the EELI lawsuit is “baseless” and “lacked merit.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“One of their attorneys filing this lawsuit is a notorious denier of

the very well-established link between PM2.5 air pollution and

mortality,” Walke told Trucks.com.</font>

<b><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Walke said that Milloy has called the U.S. Science Advisory Board,

Johns Hopkins University, Harvard University, the American Heart

Association and the World Health Organization part of the “junk science

mob” because they all agree that particulate matter is harmful.</font></b>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Particulate matter is regulated because it “can cause premature death

and harmful effects on the cardiovascular system” and other

“significant health problems,” according to the EPA.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Diesel trucks are one of the nation’s biggest sources of particulate

matter pollution, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The EPA declined to discuss the lawsuit with Trucks.com, saying only

that it “will review and respond accordingly to the lawsuit.”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The plaintiffs allege that the EPA violated federal law by failing to

appoint independent committee members to the Clean Air Scientific

Advisory Committee Particulate Matter Review Council last November. The

committee is scheduled to have its first meeting on May 23.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“The EPA is obligated to appoint an independent committee to provide

advice and recommendations to the administrator of the EPA every five

years,” according to the lawsuit.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The lawsuit claims that of the 84 EPA grants that “have produced

thousands of published studies” on particulate matter, the institute

isn’t aware of any that have challenged the agency’s stance on the

harmful health effects associated with exposure to PM2.5.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">It’s important to have an impartial committee review the EPA’s

findings because of the negative financial impact the agency’s rulings

could have on small-business truckers, said Joe Rajkovacz, spokesman for

the Western States Trucking Association.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The association, headquartered in Upland, Calif., represents nearly

1,000 construction and freight industry-related trucking companies.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Many members have spent thousands of dollars to retrofit their trucks

to comply with California particulate emissions requirements, Rajkovacz

said.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“Federal law requires the EPA to run all of its rule-makings through

an advisory committee, who is supposed to be an independent committee

that weighs the science they are basing their rule-makings on,”

Rajkovacz said. “What kind of science do you think we will get if most

of the independent researchers’ financial well-being is dependent on

grant money from the EPA?”</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">James E. Enstrom, a retired UCLA epidemiologist, also is a plaintiff

in the lawsuit. He published a critical analysis in the peer-reviewed

medical journal Inhalation Toxicology that failed to support a

relationship between PM2.5 and premature deaths in California.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The lawsuit asks the court to issue a stay, ordering that the panel

“may not convene to meet or hold session until it has been properly

constituted.” It also seeks to require the EPA to establish an advisory

committee that is made up of members independent of the agency, who have

a “balanced point of view.”</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><b>

Posted on August 20, 2015 by Hank Campbell
Congress has decided to boost funding for the National Institutes of Health by $9.3 billion over five years, and that is welcome news to researchers. But there are two ways we could have prevented life sciences researchers from feeling like they were being disrespected by the current White House administration.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The first is to recognize that the previous administration, and his same-party Congress, loved science a little too much and reset expectations somewhat. When NIH funding was basically doubled in a short period of time, it meant the creation of many new buildings for Johns Hopkins University and a whole raft of new R01 grants and hiring of post-docs to do research. However, science actually doesn’t get done that way. It is mostly a slow, measured process. If it was really possible to just spend more and get a result, we could throw $50 billion at cancer and solar power and the issues would be solved.</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Instead of boosting science output, it created an artificial bubble. The current administration wanted to focus on solar panels, not biology, and academia was producing 600 percent more PhDs than were ever going to get faculty positions, which meant a glut of post-docs, and suddenly, the average age for getting a first grant became 40-plus.</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">So while it was wonderful that the White House and Congress in the early 2000s were so pro-science, it didn’t help science to be over-funded in such a short period of time.</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The second obstacle has been a lingering one: waste and duplication. Former Senator Tom Coburn, one of the few fiscals hawks in either House of Congress, used to issue an annual report of such waste in transportation, and the military, and in science. But scientists reacted no differently than any of those other special interest groups when their funding was critiqued. They cried foul and claimed they were being unfairly targeted. Yet they should have embraced it. He was telling them that they could easily have more funding if the government started spending the money already allocated in ways it was supposed to be spend — not to fund things that were not science (i.e. how people build relationships in Farmville, why political candidates make vague statements) and to prevent funding from becoming bureaucratic waste.</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">More recently, a third issue has cropped up: Concern that even studies that are science may not be very good.</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I have written in the Wall Street Journal about reproducibility issues, and Adam Marcus and Ivan Oransky touch on it again today. A recent paper determined that half of examined papers could not be reproduced, and implied therefore they were flawed. But they are being too simplistic — reproducibility is actually a false metric in a lot of cases, so perhaps they mean replication, and erroneously use the terms interchangeably in their article.</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Yet definitions aside, the real issue is a modern Big Science culture that makes publishing things in a hurry so important in the chase for government money.</p><p style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sixty percent of American basic research, and almost 100 percent of applied research, is corporate — and America produces the best science in the world, with five percent of the population generating over 30 percent of total output. By instead promoting government Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) initiatives across multiple government departments at a cost of billions of dollars, we have created a belief in universities that only academic science is “real” science and everything else is basically some flavor of evil Big Pharma.</p></span></span></strong></div><p><strong style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">---</font></strong></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; direction: ltr; line-height: 21px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-stretch: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><strong style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The Shelby Amendment</font></strong></strong></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; direction: ltr; line-height: 21px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-stretch: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><strong style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Following these EPA battles, Sen.

Soon, the Washington Times and the New York Post published “secret science” editorials, and an oil executive attacked the “secret science” of the EPA rules.

has made a career of lobbying for polluting industries, heading

corporate front groups to deny environmental concerns, and ridiculing

individual environmentalists on behalf of corporate interests. </span>In the

world according to Milloy, any scientific study that does not support

the world view where all chemicals are safe is "junk science", all

environmentalists are alarmist, and pollution and second hand smoke are

harmless. The labels fly fast and furious, regardless of where the

scientific mainstream falls on an issue and regardless of what point we

are at in the scientific discovery process.</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">

</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><b>Interestingly, Milloy denies he was ever a lobbyist. In 1998, while

executive director of the Advancement of Sound Science Coalition,</b> he

replied to an inquiry into whether he was a lobbyist: "I do not lobby

for ANYONE. Before I became executive director of TASSC, I did some

technical consulting for a D.C. firm which had the policy of registering

all its employees and consultants as lobbyists (whether or not they

lobbied) pursuant to a new law passed in 1995. I am aware of the listing

and have asked it to be corrected since I no longer work for that firm.

I challenge anyone to produce any evidence that I have ever lobbied any

government official for anything."</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><b>However, Milloy

shows up in federal lobbyist registration data for 1997 as having

lobbying expenditures on his behalf, indicating his firm, the EOP Group,</b>

believed him to be an active lobbyist, "technical" or otherwise. The

same federal records indicate Milloy represented th<b>e American Petroleum

Institute, FMC Corp, Fort Howard, International Food Additives Council,

and Monsanto.</b> Interestingly, according to these records, Milloy lobbied

for Monsanto on the subject of "food safety and labeling", which is

lobbyist speak for "biotech foods". (<a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/">Center for Responsive Politics</a>,

was still<b> registered as a lobbyist with the EOP Group i</b>n 1999, with the

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Milloy defines

Junk science as "bad science used by lawsuit-happy trial lawyers, the

'food police,' environmental Chicken Littles, power-drunk regulators,

and unethical-to-dishonest scientists to fuel specious lawsuits, wacky

social and political agends, and the quest for personal fame and

fortune." (<a href="http://www.junkscience.com/faqs.html">http://www.junkscience.com/faqs.html</a>)</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">

</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Though Milloy refuses to disclose organizational details such as who

pays his bills, there are a few things we know about Milloy's outfit:

Though there is no contact information other than an email on the web

site, Junkscience.com is registered to Milloy Inc, at the same address

as the EOP Group, the lobbying firm in Washington, DC. where Milloy was

registered as a lobbyist . However, the phone number for junkscience.com

is registered to "Advancement of Sound Science Coalition" (a well

exposed corporate front group and a former project of the EOP Group) at

1155 Connecticut Ave NW, Suite 300 in Washington, DC. This is the same

phone number and address Milloy has used for the <b>Citizens for the

Integrity of Science, Junkscience.com, NoMoresScares.com</b>, and of course,

the defunct Advancement of Sound Science Coalition. The fax number used

on numerous press releases over the years is "an interoffice fax" at

1155 Connecticut Ave NW,. according to a simple internet search.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Milloy's <b>Citizens for the Integrity of Science, (CFIS)</b> the

supposed organization that sponsors Milloy's junkscience.com page, does

not exist in IRS records as a non-profit (as of fall 2001), though by

using a "dot.org" web address, non-profit status is suggested. Why

wouldn't Milloy register his "dot.org" as a non-profit? Non-profits are

subject to certain pesky rules of public disclosure- information that

could be damaging to junkscience.com and the Citizens for the Integrity

of Sceince's credibility. Thus, we are missing the elusive pieces of

evidence we need: a solid money trail, names of board members, articles

of incorporation- all things Milloy never wants us to find.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The internet site, <a href="http://www.cfis.org/">CFIS.org (Citizens for the Integrity of Science)</a>,

is registered to Steve Milloy's home address in posh Potomac, MD, with

Steve Milloy listed as the administrative contact. So who is actually

paying for junkscience.com? We don't know, and Milloy has repeatedly

refused to disclose his patrons. Steve Milloy answers question of who

pays for Junkscience.com (annoyingly in the third person), "Steve Milloy

[is paying for junkscience.com]. But who pays isn't important; the

substance is. Steve figures he has the junk science debate won when an

opponent raises a collateral issue like funding." Collatoral issue,

Steve? We see it is pretty central, especially if former (?) client

Monsanto is paying for all that pro-biotech spin, for example. And can

you blame us if we wonder why Milloy is pretending to run a non-profit

that exists as nothing more than the same phone number set up for an

known tobacco industry front group in 1993?</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">

</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">CFIS does appear to have some sort of board, though we know of only

two members, including Milloy. In a May 11,1999 Freedom of Information

Act filed by Citizens for the Integrity of Science posted on the

Junkscience web page, Steve Milloy listed himself and <b>Michael Gough of

the Competitive Enterprise Institute</b> as "Directors" of Citizens for the

Integrity of Science, with TASSC's old 1155 Connecticut address and

contact info, which is also Milloy's current business address.</font></p>

<li><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">According to the

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">P.R. Watch report "How Big Tobacco Helped Create the Junkman,</span>" Milloy

got his full fledged launch as an industry apologist in the early 1990s

working for the tobacco industry. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">In 1992 Milloy worked for James Tozzi

at <b>Multinational Business Services</b></span>. Tozzi, a former career

bureaucrat at the U.S. Office of Management and Budget who had

spearheaded the Reagan-era OMB campaign to gut environmental

regulations, is described in internal Philip Morris documents as the

company's "primary contact on the EPA/ETS risk assessment during the

second half of 1992." During that period, the memo noted, "Tozzi has

been invaluable in executing our Washington efforts including generating

technical briefing papers, numerous letters to agencies and media

interviews," a service for which Philip Morris paid an estimated

$300,000 in consulting fees.

Check out the <a href="http://www.prwatch.org/prwissues/2000Q3/junkman.html">full PR Watch report</a>, complete with links to original tobacco documents. </font></li><li><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></li>

<li><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">According to PR Watch, after leaving Tozzi's service, Milloy became president of his own organization called the <b>"Regulatory Impact Analysis Project, Inc.,</b>"

where he wrote a couple of reports arguing that "most environmental

risks are so small or indistinguishable that their existence cannot be

proven." Shortly thereafter, he launched the "Junk Science Home Page."

Calling himself "the Junkman," he offered daily attacks on

environmentalists, public health and food safety regulators,

anti-nuclear and animal rights activists, and a wide range of other

targets that he accused of using unsound science to advance various

political agendas. </font></li><li><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></li>

<li><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Between March 1997 and the fall of 1998, Milloy was the well-paid head of the corporate front group,<b>The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition</b>

(Milloy was paid $100,000 for the 1998 fiscal year according to TASSC's

IRS 990 form). For a time, the Junkscience.com web site and TASSC were

one and the same.

The<b> now-defunct </b>Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (TASSC), founded

primarily by Philip Morris in 1993, was part of a corporate plan to pump

millions of dollars into a campaign to cast doubt on a variety of

environmental and public health issues, including<b> global warming and

second hand smoke</b>.(<i>The New York Times</i>, April 25, 1998) TASSC,

originally set up as a front group by APCO and Associates (PR firm

related to EOP Group, Milloy's previous employer), and <b>faded into

oblivion after September 1998, possibly due to the damage caused by the

negative exposure in the 1998 New York Times article. </b>TASSC was funded

by Philip Morris, Exxon, Procter and Gamble, Dow, 3M and other large

corporations, primarily as a pro-tobacco and anti-tort voices. TASSC

left the scene in 1998, yet Milloy has used TASSC's phone number and

address for all his subsequent ventures.

Though later a project of the EOP Group, TASSC was originally based in the Washington, D.C. offices of the lobbying firm <b>APCO Associates </b>and

claimed a membership of over 400 corporations representing chemical,

agricultural, manufacturing, oil, dairy, timber, paper and mining

interests, including <b>Amoco, Chevron, and Occidental Petroleum</b>, as

well as industry trade associations. TASSC also had a science advisory

panel of over 200 members, including some of the most prominent science

skeptics in America. TASSC is mentioned by name in the now infamous

"tobacco papers" as a group organized to help with the "scientific"

message that second hand smoke is harmless. The purpose of TASSC, as

described in a memo from APCO's Tom Hockaday and Neal Cohen, was to

"link the tobacco issue with other more 'politically correct'

products"--in other words, to make the case that efforts to regulate

tobacco were based on the same "junk science". </font></li><li><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

<li><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Environmental Policy Analysis Network- </b>Created

and run by Steven Milloy, the Environmental Policy Analysis Network is

an earlier incarnation of a one-man front group. EPAN served as the

pre-TASSC vehicle for Milloy's editorial campaign for "sound science"

and as the home for Milloy's "Junk Science Home Page" This is

particularly interesting in light of the fact that "junkscience.com"

lists the EOP Group's address as the contact on its web registration. </font></li></ul><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4"><font>

Milloy rejoiced in the death of Dr. David Rall, founder of the National

Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, renowned public health

leader, and by reputation a very kind person. Milloy wrote, "As far as

David Rall is concerned, he was a bad guy when he was alive. ...Death

did not improve track record." Milloy began his commentary on Rall's

untimely death with "Scratch one junk scientist who promoted the

bankrupt idea that rats with a chemical predicts cancer in humans

exposed to much lower levels of the chemical -- a notion that, at the

very least, has wasted billions and billions of public and private

dollars." (Washington Post, October 12, 1999 and <a href="http://www.grist.org/">Grist Magazine</a>, October 18, 1999) </font></li><li><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

equally callous following the fall 1999 death of Senator John Chafee, a

Rhode Island Republican. Milloy viewed his death as a good thing for

polluters because, "Unfortunately, Sen. Chafee too often acted like a

Democrat on environmental and regulatory issues. The good news is his

replacement as committee chairman will be Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) </b>

who has shown courage in opposing the Kyoto protocol and the EPA air

quality proposals." (As Grist Magazine's Muckracker column pointed out

<p><b><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Background on Milloy & JunkScience.com</font></b>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">According to <a href="http://www.prwatch.org/prwissues/2000Q3/junkman.html">PR Watch</a>, Milloy became executive director of The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (TASSC), an organization that was covertly created by Philip Morris for the express purpose of generating scientific controversy regarding the link between secondhand smoke and cancer. The <a href="http://www.cspinet.org/integrity/corp_funding.html">Integrity in Science</a> file on TASSC:</font></p>

<blockquote><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">THE ADVANCEMENT OF SOUND SCIENCE COALITION (TASSC) [defunct]

</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">"Support comes from companies like Procter & Gamble, Exxon, Dow Chemical, and Philip Morris." (Village Voice, 4/23/97)</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><b>Milloy’s office is in the headquarters of APCO Associates</b>, a Washington, D.C., PR firm that specializes in creating coalitions like TASSC. (Village Voice, April 29, 1997, p. 39)</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><b>[Environmental Working Group’s (EWG)</b> Web site, August 16, 1998] [T]his "sound science" coalition is supported by hundreds of corporations, including 3M, Amoco, Chevron, Dow Chemical, Exxon, General Motors, Occidental Petroleum, Philip Morris, Proctor & Gamble and W.R. Grace. Its objective is to act as a speakers bureau to deliver the corporate message that environmental public policy is not currently based on "sound science," and to counter excessive regulations that are based on what it considers "junk" science.<b> O’Dywer’s PR Services reports that TASSC is "leading the charge against what it views as the unholy alliance between environmentalists and the media</b>" (Feb. 1996).</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">TASSC claimed to have 250 to 300 scientists as active members (Tulsa World, April 25, 1996).</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">TASSC was created in 1993 to promote "sound science" in policy decision making. TASSC is chaired by former New Mexico governor Garrey Caruthers, and claims a membership of over 400 corporations. In addition to many corporate representatives, TASSC’s extensive advisory board contains well known "science skeptics" S. Fred Singer, Bruce Ames, Dr. Patrick Michaels, Michael Sanera, and Hugh Ellsaesser. (EWG)</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Steven Milloy, executive director of TASSC, is a self styled "junk science" critic who previously launched the Junk Science Page through the Environmental Policy Analysis Network (EPAN), a group he started in 1996. Milloy is also a lobbyist for the EOP Group, a DC-based lobbying firm that represents the<b> American Crop Protection Association, the Chlorine Chemistry Council, Edison Electric Institute,</b> among others. Under Milloy’s personal listing of groups he represents through the EOP Group in 1996 were Fort Howard Corp., the International Food Additives Association, and Monsanto. According to the most recent edition of Washington Representatives, Milloy’s client list has grown to include the<b> National Mining Association</b>, among others. (EWG)</font></p>

In the biographical sketch that accompanies "The Fear Profiteers" (see cover story of this issue), Steven Milloy describes himself as the publisher of the Junk Science Home Page and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute. "Milloy appears frequently on radio and television; has testified on risk assessment and Superfund before the U.S. Congress; and has lectured before numerous organizations," it adds, noting that he has also "written articles that have appeared in the New York Post, USA Today, Washington Times, The Chicago Sun-Times, and the Investors' Business Daily."</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">These facts are all accurate as far they go, but they say nothing about how Milloy came to be a prominent debunker of "junk science." This omission is undoubtedly by design, because it would certainly be embarrassing to admit that a self-proclaimed scientific reformer got his start as a behind-the-scenes lobbyist for the tobacco industry, which has arguably done more to corrupt science than any other industry in history ...

Who produces the 'junk-science' claims, and who decides what is junk?</font>

More recently, Milloy has turned his jaundiced eye toward human-driven climate disruption, organic milk, and apparently, Syngenta’s herbicide atrazine. Beyond this, Milloy’s own public statements on climate disruption reveal him to be either <a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2011/05/20/milloy-either-incompetent-or-liar/">incompetent or a liar-for-hire</a>.

But he’s just one of the more visible tips of this particular iceberg.

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">...“There’s really only about 25 of us doing this,” Steve Milloy says, shortly after sitting down at Morton’s, a Washington, D.C., steakhouse favored by lawyers and lobbyists. “A core group of skeptics. It’s a ragtag bunch, very Continental Army.</span>” Milloy, a Fox News commentator and former tobacco-industry advocate, runs a website called JunkScience.com that is an outlet for attacks on those he calls “global-warming alarmists.” Many of those who question mainstream climate science resent being called deniers; they say it unfairly equates them with Holocaust deniers. They prefer doubters, skeptics or realists. “Me, I just stick with denier,” Milloy says<b>. “I’m happy to be a denier.”</b>

Milloy is dressed in a striped pink button-down shirt and khaki pants, classic Potomac prep. He moved into climate denial in the 1990s as funding from the tobacco lobby began to dry up. At the time, conservative and libertarian think tanks were just starting to take aim at climate science. Milloy, who has received funding from entities controlled by oil billionaires Charles and David Koch, helps them get their message to the masses.


<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><b>

Milloy and other aggressive deniers practice a form of asymmetric warfare that is decentralized and largely immune to reasoned response.</b> They launch what Aaron Huertas, a press secretary at the Union of Concerned Scientists, calls “information missiles,” anti-climate-change memes that get passed around on listservs, amplified in the blogosphere, and picked up by radio talk-show hosts or politicians. “Even if they don’t have much money, they are operating in a structure that allows them to punch above their weight,” Huertas says</span>.


<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><b>

Scientists who speak up quickly become targets.</b> Both Milloy and his counterpart Marc Morano, who runs the site ClimateDepot.com and once declared that climate scientists “deserve to be publicly flogged,”</span> occasionally publish the e-mail addresses of climate researchers, a stunt that can result in scientists receiving a flood of vitriolic messages. A few weeks before our meeting, <b>Milloy had offered a $500 bounty for a video of anyone who would heckle Mann with “an alarmism-debunking” question during the California leg of his book tour.</b> The hecklers never materialized but, as with the white powder in Mann’s letter (which the FBI determined to be cornstarch), the threat made an impact.

Mann calls Milloy “a valueless, all-purpose denier for notorious industries who need a hired gun.” But Milloy, like others in the movement, says that he’s fighting an existential war with forces that would, without his intervention, steal the American way of life. “This whole green thing, the <b>whole environmental scare industry, is really just an ingenious plan to exert government control over everything we do,</b>” Milloy says. “I have yet to see an environmental scare that is remotely true when it comes to human health. <b>Secondhand smoke, air quality, ozone depletion, pesticides, superfund sites—you name it.</b>....</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2012-06/battle-over-climate-change?single-page-view=true

But Milloy himself has been funded by special interests. Milloy, directly or through his organizational alter egos, formerly the <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Free_Enterprise_Education_Institute" title="reference on Free Enterprise Education Institute" target="self">Free Enterprise Education Institute</a> of the Cato Institute</span> and the "Free Enterprise Project" of the <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=National_Center_for_Public_Policy_Research" title="reference on National Center for Public Policy Research" target="self">National Center for Public Policy Research</a>, </span><a href="http://www.tnr.com/article/pundit-hire" title="reference on reportedly" target="blank">reportedly</a> received payments from <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Philip_Morris" title="reference on Philip Morris" target="self">Philip Morris</a> and <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=ExxonMobil" title="reference on ExxonMobil" target="_self">ExxonMobil</a>, among others. When the story broke a few years ago that he had received over $180,000 from Big Tobacco, Fox News said it was unaware of Milloy's connection with Philip Morris. Any affiliation he had should have been disclosed.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Documents obtained by CMD show that Milloy has also received <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/images/8/88/Syn_Email_Milloy_Asking_for_Grants.pdf" title="reference on an unknown number of checks for $25,000 each from Syngenta" target="_blank">an unknown number of checks for $25,000 each from <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Syngenta</span></a> (PDF) to amplify its talking points on atrazine. In one e-mail to Syngenta he asks if it is too soon to ask for another $25,000 and another email notes he was receiving payments in $15,000 increments. His projects at the time were about the "free enterprise" system. His most recent payment from Syngenta and the total amount he has received from corporation is not known.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">When it comes to atrazine, Milloy has helped target UC-Berkeley integrative biology professor Tyrone Hayes. The professor is a leading independent scientist investigating the potential damage to health from atrazine exposure. He has spent over a decade researching atrazine and has reported findings that the weed-killer causes gender abnormalities in frogs -- even among frogs that were exposed to the weed-killer in doses smaller than the EPA sets as the limit for the annual average amount in drinking water.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Milloy has called Hayes a "<a href="http://junkscience.com/2011/11/09/syngenta-atrazine-benefits-u-s-consumers-by-up-to-4-8-billion-annually/" title="reference on Berserkeley atrazine-hater" target="_blank">Berserkeley atrazine-hater</a>" and has repeatedly attacked Hayes' scientific findings publicly. The Fox blogger has even gone so far as to accuse Hayes of lying about how he conducted the experiments: "We can't even be sure the concentrations of atrazine in the lab tanks are what Hayes' claims. After all, it's a lot easier to say the solution is 0.1 ppb of atrazine than it is to actually verify the assertion."</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">In the same blog post, called "<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,69497,00.html" title="reference on Freaky-Frog Fraud" target="blank">Freaky-Frog Fraud</a>," Milloy asserts that "Hayes seems to be determined to scare the public about atrazine." Milloy seems determined to do the opposite. Documents obtained by CMD include an <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/images/0/09/Syn_email_Talking_Points_for_Milloy.pdf" title="reference on 2008 email from Milloy to Sherry Duvall Ford" target="blank">2008 email from Milloy to Sherry Duvall Ford</a> (PDF), head of external communications for Syngenta, which reads, "Beth Carroll said that you had some Atrazine talking points for me. Would love to see them. Thanks, Steve." Milloy has not mentioned his payments from Syngenta in his tv appearances.</font>

<h2><span class="mw-headline"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Milloy the Lobbyist</font></span></h2>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Milloy has spent much of his life as a lobbyist for major corporations and trade organizations which have poisioning or polluting problems. He originally ran the <a href="http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/orgfactsheet.php?id=56" class="external text" title="http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/orgfactsheet.php?id=56" rel="nofollow">National Environmental Policy Institute</a> (NEPI) which was founded by Republican Rep <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Don_Ritter&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Don Ritter (page does not exist)">Don Ritter</a> (who tried to get <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Tobacco_industry" title="Tobacco industry">tobacco industry</a> funding) using oil and gas industry funding.<sup class="noprint Template-Fact"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources" style=" white-space: nowrap;">[<i><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=SourceWatch:Citation_needed" title="SourceWatch:Citation needed">citation needed</a></i>]</span></sup> NEPI was dedicated to transforming both the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=EPA" title="EPA" class="mw-redirect">EPA</a> and the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=FDA" title="FDA" class="mw-redirect">FDA</a>, and challenging the cost of Superfund toxic cleanups by these large corporations.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">NEPI was also associated with the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Air_Quality_Standards_Coalition" title="Air Quality Standards Coalition">Air Quality Standards Coalition</a> (AQSC) which was devoted to weakening Clean Air laws. This organization took up the cry of "we need <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Sound_science" title="Sound science">sound science</a>" from the chemical industry as a way to counter claims of pollution -- and Milloy became involved in what became known as the "sound-science" movement. Its most effective ploy was to label scientific findings that were detrimental to the large funding corporations as "junk." Milloy was one of its most effective lobbyists because he wrote well, and used humor.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Milloy joined <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Philip_Morris" title="Philip Morris" class="mw-redirect">Philip Morris</a>'s specialist-science/PR company <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=APCO%26_Associates" title="APCO & Associates" class="mw-redirect">APCO & Associates</a> in 1992 as a consultant, working behind the scenes on a business venture known as "<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Issues_Watch" title="Issues Watch">Issues Watch</a>".<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Steven_J.Milloy#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup> By this time, APCO had been taken over and become a part of the world-wide <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_market" class="external text" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_market" rel="nofollow">Grey Marketing</a> organization, and so Milloy was able to use the international organization as a feed source for services to corporations who had international problems.<sup class="noprint Template-Fact"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources" style=" white-space: nowrap;">[<i><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=SourceWatch:Citation_needed" title="SourceWatch:Citation needed">citation needed</a></i>]</span></sup></font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Issues Watch bulletins were only given out to paying customers, so Milloy started for APCO the "Junkscience.com" web site, which gave him an outlet to attack health and environmental activists, and scientists who published findings not supportive of his client's businesses. Like most good PR it mixes some good, general criticism of science and science-reporting, with some outright distorted and manipulative pieces.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The Junkscience web site was supposedly run by a pseudo-grassroots organization called <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=The_Advancement_of_Sound_Science_Coalition" title="The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition">The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition</a> (TASSC), organized by APCO for Philip Morris,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Steven_J.Milloy#cite_note-1" title="">[2]</a></sup> which initially paid ex-Governor <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Garrey_Carruthers" title="Garrey Carruthers">Garrey Carruthers</a> of New Mexico as a <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Front_groups" title="Front groups">front</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Steven_J.Milloy#cite_note-2" title="">[3]</a></sup> Milloy actually ran it from the back-room, and issued the press releases. Then when Carruthers resigned, Milloy started to call himself "Director." <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Bonner_Cohen" title="Bonner Cohen">Bonner Cohen</a> -- who also worked for APCO -- became "President."<sup class="noprint Template-Fact"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources" style=" white-space: nowrap;">[<i><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=SourceWatch:Citation_needed" title="SourceWatch:Citation needed">citation needed</a></i>]</span></sup></font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Initially all of this was funded by Philip Morris, but later PM broadened the focus to gather even more funding by garnering participation from energy, pharmaceutical, chemical companies.

"According to Lisa Gonzalez, manager of external communications for Altria, the parent company of Philip Morris, Milloy was under contract there through the end of last year," Thacker wrote.<b> "But, whereas Scripps Howard fired Fumento and apologized to its readers, Fox News continues to look the other way as Milloy accepts corporate handouts,"</b> Thacker writes.

According to a January 26, 2006 report in the <i>Chicago Tribune</i>, "The fund's advocacy stance boils down to opposing many of the things supported by traditional 'social investment funds,' because issues like <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Global_warming" title="Global warming">global warming</a> or corporate governance distract business from its real role of operating in the best interests of shareholders." However, its performance as an investment has been less than stellar.<b> The <i>Tribune</i> called it the "Stupid Investment of the Week </b>... Strip away the rhetoric, and you're getting a very expensive, underperforming index fund, while Milloy and partner Thomas Borelli get a platform for raising their pet issues. ... An expense ratio capped at 2 percent--ridiculously high for a portfolio of corporate giants--makes stock market returns unrealistic.

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">On Monday we looked at the <a href="http://www.demanddebate.com/ipcc_survey.pdf">“first ever” survey of IPCC scientists</a> and concluded that not only was it useless as statistics and science, but that it only served as anti-global heating propaganda. Yesterday we looked at the people and organizations around Steven J. Milloy of <a href="http://www.demanddebate.com/"><span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">DemandDebate.com</span></a> and <a href="http://www.junkscience.com/">JunkScience.com</a> and we concluded that the work of both Mr. Milloy and his associates are draped under a pall of suspicion and doubt. Today, in the final part of this series, I look at the individuals and organizations who financially support Mr. Milloy’s work and make him such an effective conservative soldier in the culture wars.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">When I started looking into <em>DemandDebate.com’s</em> financial sponsors, I was unable to determine who they really are. There’s no board of directors, no staff listed, not even a phone number and address. Not even a <a href="http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=demanddebate&tld=com">“WhoIs”</a> query finds <em>DemandDebate.com’s</em> patrons because Mr. Milloy <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/2/15/141513/629">anonymized his registration</a>. Initially, I didn’t even realize that Mr. Milloy was associated with <em>DemandDebate.com</em>. It’s only when you look at the site’s publications (like the discredited IPCC survey) that you discover that Steven J. Milloy is the executive director of <em>DemandDebate.com</em>. However, in the process of hunting for, and failing to discover, who exactly is funding <em>DemandDebate.com</em>, I did discover an amazing web of patronage that weaves back and forth through Mr. Milloy’s past and present in fascinating ways.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Mr. Milloy’s <em>JunkScience.com</em> website is a black hole when it comes to who supports it. Officially it’s sponsored by Mr. Milloy’s Citizens for the Integrity of Science (CFIS), a group that a) doesn’t officially make enough money (<$25,000) to require it to reveal its backers and b) isn’t a non-profit that has to file public IRS Form 990s. This effectively keeps <em>JunkScience.com’s</em> monetary benefactors off the public radar.</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;Since <a href="http://www.junkscience.com/failure_to_disclose.pdf">at least one <span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">Free Enterprise Education Institute (FEEI) </span>document is actually housed on the <em>JunkScience.com</em> website</a>, it is possible that the FEEI is the source of CFIS’ money, but there’s no way to know with the information available. However, we do know that <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Citizens_for_the_Integrity_of_Science">Dr. Michael Gough of the Cato Institute is listed as the executive director of the CFIS</a>. Dr. Gough was a Director of <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Advancement_of_Sound_Science_Center">The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (TASSC)</a>, the discredited and defunct organization that Mr. Milloy ran out of his house for years and that I discussed in detail yesterday. <a href="http://www.cato.org/people/gough.html">Dr. Gough</a> is still associated with the Cato Institute as an adjunct scholar and worked with Mr. Milloy while Milloy was himself an adjunct scholar of the Cato Institute.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">While there’s a strong likelihood that <em>JunkScience.com</em> and <em>DemandDebate.com</em> are funded by some other individual(s) or organization(s), there’s always a chance that Mr. Milloy himself is the direct backer of both websites. Based on his various connections to foundations and securities, he certainly makes enough money to back both sites himself.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Mr. Milloy is one of the directors of the Free Enterprise Education Institute, along with <b>Thomas J. Borelli and Deneen Moore Borelli.</b> The FEEI sponsors the website <a href="http://www.csrwatch.com/">CSRWatch/SRIWatch</a>, a site devoted to opposing the <b>corporate social responsibility</b> movement as being too economically costly, and the <a href="http://www.freeenterpriser.com/FreeEnterpriser.aspx?name=guest">Free Enterpriser</a> online publication. According to the FEEI’s 2005 IRS Form 990, their total operating expenses over several years equaled approximately $477,000, of which $355,000 was paid to “Steven J. Milloy” of Potomac, Maryland for consulting services. The next highest expense for FEEI was for “website expenses,” presumably for CSRWatch/SRIWatch. In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Borelli are both associated with National Center for Public Policy Research, Mr. Borelli as a senior fellow for the Center in general and <a href="http://www.nationalcenter.org/bios/P21Speakers_Borelli.html">Mrs. Borelli</a> as a senior fellow for the Center’s <a href="http://www.nationalcenter.org/P21Index.html">Project 21</a>. Mr. Borelli used to work as Philip Morris’ director of scientific affairs and <a href="http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/action/document/page?tid=ylg52c00">Mrs. Borelli used to be his secretary</a> at Philip Morris. In addition, Mr. Borelli was <a href="http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/qaf57d00/pdf">involved with TASSC while he worked at Philip Morris</a>. While at Philip Morris, Mr. Borelli received and acted upon letters like <a href="http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/ofw87d00/pdf">this one from the <b>Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI)</b></a><b>:</b></font>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">This dichotomy [between<span style=" background-color: #FFF200;"> public panic over toxins </span>and chemicals vs. public acceptance of food risks] suggests a strategy for using our general acceptance of foods as a means of deflating fears of chemicals.

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Bottles of CEI’s “Vino Veritas-Freedom of Speech Wine” were prepared and distributed, carrying on their labels a statement that, despite its validity, is illegal under [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, BATF] regulations: “There is significant evidence that moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages may reduce the risk of heart disease.”</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">CEI’s position is that BATF policy prevents consumers from receiving truthful, useful information. BATF’s policy is illogical from the standpoint of public health, and illegal from the standpoint of the First Amendment.</font>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><b>Mr. Milloy is presently an </b><a href="http://www.cei.org/dyn/view_Expert.cfm?Expert=71"><b>adjunct scholar for the CEI</b></a><b>.</b></font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">While all of the FEEI’s financial backers are not available from the IRS Form 990, we know that the<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> FEEI received $71,000 in 2005 – of which between $45,000 and $70,000 came from<b> ExxonMobil,</b></span> according to <a href="http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/orgfactsheet.php?id=128#src4">ExxonSecrets.org research into ExxonMobil’s Form 990</a>. And we know that the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Claude_R._Lambe_Foundation">Claude R. Lambe Foundation</a> gave <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientgrants.php?recipientID=8117">$30,000 to FEEI in 2004</a>. The Claude R. Lambe Foundation is one of the three<span style=" background-color: #ED1C24;"> </span><a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/funderprofile.php?funderID=9"><span style=" background-color: #ED1C24;">Koch </span>family charitable foundations</a> that also fund the Cato Institute and <a href="http://www.freedomworks.org/">Freedomworks</a> among others (including, not coincidentally, many of the other organizations we’ll be discussing here).</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;The <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientsoffunder.php?funderID=8">Claude R. Lambe Foundation</a> also generously funds the Reason Foundation (mentioned both yesterday and below), the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the <a href="http://www.perc.org/about.php?id=719">Property and Environment Research Center</a> (discussed in more detail below), and the <a href="http://www.nationalcenter.org/"><span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">National Center for Public Policy Research</span></a><span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">,</span> where Mr. and Mrs. Borelli are both senior fellows. Another donor to the National Center for Public Policy Research is the <a href="http://www.scaife.com/cartha06.pdf">Carthage Foundation</a>, part of the Scaife family foundations (some of the grants of the Sarah Scaife Foundation are covered below), and it granted $50,000 in 2006.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Mr. Milloy and Mr. Borelli (and Mrs. Borelli too, via her husband) have worked together and in parallel since at least 1993, manipulating science to serve their ideological and political ends. During that time they’ve been funded by Philip Morris, Exxon Mobile, and some of the largest conservative foundations in the United States.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">But while they may not have worked alongside each other for much of that period, they do now: Mr. Milloy and Mr. Borelli are not only co-directors of the FEEI, but they’re both advisers for their politically conservative mutual fund, <a href="http://www.freeenterpriseactionfund.com/">the Free Enterprise Action Fund (<b>FEAFund</b>)</a>.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">As advisers to the FEAFund, Mr. Milloy and Mr. Borelli split a 1.25% commission. According to <a href="http://www.freeenterpriseactionfund.com/FEAF_Annual.pdf">the FEAFund’s annual report for 2006</a>, the commission was just over $75,000. While this is a significant amount of money, it’s in addition to the $355,000 Mr. Milloy earned via FEEI and to the estimated $130,000 earned annually by the law and business consulting firm “Steven J. Milloy Inc.” (data available from <a href="http://www.manta.com">Manta.com</a>). When combined, Mr. Milloy’s approximately $500,000 income would be more than sufficient for him to “self-fund” both <em>JunkScience.com</em>, <em>DemandDebate.com</em>, and all his other web projects out of his own personal wealth. Whether he actually does so is an open question.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">As mentioned above,<b> Mr. Milloy earned a hefty “consulting fee” from CFIS that was largely paid by ExxonMobil.</b> Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to dig deeper into “Steven J. Milloy Inc.” to find out whom Mr. Milloy’s legal and consulting clients are. At least, not yet. But because it’s federal law that the identities of a mutual fund’s principle investors are public information, and because I hadn’t ever seen these investors detailed during my research, I chose totrack down the main sponsors of Mr. Milloy’s FEAFund. Their backing is what enables Mr. Milloy to earn an advisory commission on the FEAFund’s assets, and as such they qualify as indirect backers of Mr. Milloy’s efforts via <em>JunkScience.com</em> and <em>DemandDebate.com</em>.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">As of April 1, 2007, <a href="http://www.secinfo.com/dsVS7.u3Fe.htm#9jmi">SEC documents show</a> that there were eight investors who held more than 5% of the Free Enterprise Action Fund, of which seven held 9% or greater. These seven are William Dunn (19%), Arthur Dantchik (10%), <b>Thomas L. Phillips </b>(10%), Robert A. Levy (10%), the Claws Foundation (9%), The Randolph Foundation (9%), and<b> Donors Capitol Fund </b>(9%). These seven investors control a combined total of 76% of the total assets of the fund.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The largest shareholder, William Dunn of Stuart, Florida, is the director of Dunn Capitol Management and the founder of <a href="http://dunns-foundation-for-the-advancement-of-right-thinking.idilogic.aidpage.com/dunns-foundation-for-the-advancement-of-right-thinking/">Dunn’s Foundation for the Advancement of Right Thinking</a>. William A. Dunn of Stuart, Florida is also a director of the <a href="http://www.cei.org/pages/bdunn.cfm">Competitive Enterprise Institute</a>.

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The next largest shareholder in the FEAFund is <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Arthur </span><b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Dantchik</span> of Bela Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. Mr. Dantchik is one of the founders of the Susquehanna Investment Group and is a Director for the <a href="http://www.ij.org/profile/board/index.html">Institute for Justice</a></b>. He works with fellow FEAFund shareholder and Cato Institute director/senior fellow Robert A. Levy (see below) at the aforementioned Institute for Justice. In addition, he is on the board of directors for another FEAFund shareholder, the Claws Foundation. According to Claws Foundation’s 2006 IRS Form 990-PF, one of Mr. Dantchik’s fellow Claws Foundation directors is a co-founder of the Susquehanna Investment Group and director of the <a href="http://www.cato.org/people/directors.html">Cato Institute</a>, Jeffrey Yass. The other director of the Claws Foundation is Alan P.

The Claws Foundation itself is not a political organization – it exists largely to fund medical research.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Since 1999, Mr. Dantchik has given over <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/search.asp?key=karmt&txtName=Dantchik,%20arthur&txtAll=Y&Order=N&Cycles=A&page=2">$263,000 to conservative causes, including approximately $22,000 to 2004 congressional candidates outside of his own state of Pennsylvania</a>. Mr. Dantchik’s Institute for Justice has received a total of <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientsoffunder.php?funderID=9">$265,000 in donations from the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation from 1986 through 2005</a>, another $1.35 million from the <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientsoffunder.php?funderID=10">David H.

The Institute for Justice also received over $2 million from <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientfundergrants.php?funderID=1&recipientID=170">The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation</a> between 1992 and 2005, a massive conservative foundation that has also given extensively to the AIE (over $17 million between 1987 and 2005), the National Center for Policy Analysis (nearly $1.5 million), the Reason Foundation (nearly $1 million), the Cato Institute (about $860,000), the CEI (about $770,000), PERC (about $600,000), and the Thomas L. Phillips’ Philips Foundation (about $560,000), all between the mid 1980s and 2005.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><b>Thomas L. Phillips,</b> creator of the Thomas L. Phillips Revocable Trust of McLean, Virginia, is another principle investor. Mr. Phillips has donated some money to local <a href="http://www.city-data.com/elec/elec-MCLEAN-VA.html">McLean, VA political races</a> and is the CEO of Phillips International, the parent company to the <b><a href="http://www.thephillipsfoundation.org/">Phillips Foundation</a>,</b> <a href="http://www.eaglepub.com/">Eagle Publishing</a>, and <a href="http://www.healthydirections.com/">Healthy Directions LLC</a> (formerly Phillips Health). The Phillips Foundation is a non-profit foundation that offers <span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">journalism fellowships for journalists “</span>who share the Foundation’s mission to advance constitutional principles, a democratic society and a vibrant free enterprise system,” with special fellowships for writing on the environment from a free-market perspective. Most of the <a href="http://www.thephillipsfoundation.org/index.php?q=node/">Phillips Foundation trustees</a> are associated with Phillips International in some way. Thomas Phillips is obvious, but the president of conservative uber-publisher Regnery Publishing, <span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">Alfred S Regnery</span>, is another trustee, as is Eagle Publishing director Thomas A. Fuentes. Eagle Publishing is the parent company for <a href="http://www.regnery.com/index.html">Regnery Publishing</a>, the publisher of the “Politically Incorrect Guides” and books like <a href="http://www.regnery.com/books/unfitforcommand.html">Unfit for Command</a> and <a href="http://www.regnery.com/books/meninblack.html">Men in Black</a>. Eagle Publishing also publishes the Evans-Novak Political Report, conservative “news” source <a href="http://www.humanevents.com/">Human Events</a> (which counts <span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">Ann Coulter as the legal affairs editor and Ms. Coulter, Newt Gingrich, Pat Buchanan, Robert Novak, Sen. James Imhoffe, Rush Limbaugh, Phyllis Schlafly, Michelle Malkin, Bill O’Reilly</span>, and other conservative luminaries as commentators), and runs the <a href="http://www.conservativebookclub.com/DefaultJoin.asp?">Conservative Book Club</a>. In addition, Mr. Phillips has given significant support to <a href="http://www.nccfpac.com/">the National Conservative Campaign Fund (NCCF)</a>, a group whose <a href="http://www.nccfpac.com/officers.cfm">directors and advisory board</a> are composed of <a href="http://www.hartwilliams.com/blog/2006/07/unlimited-terms-of-endearment-part-vii.html">Phillips and most of the rest of the leaders of the Phillips Foundation</a>. Mr. Phillips’ connections at the NCCF are good enough to have had <a href="http://www.nccfpac.com/events.cfm">Vice President Dick Cheney to come over for an NCCF reception at the Phillips’ home</a>.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Mr. Phillips has donated over $124,000 in support of conservative causes and elections since 1996, and his National Conservative Campaign Fund has given approximately $532,000 to Republican candidates since the 2000 election cycle (Source: <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.asp?strid=C00348359&cycle=2008">Opensecrets.org</a>). In 2006, the Phillips Foundation raised $68,000 from Phillips International, $10,000 from Foundation trustee Robert Novak, and $5,000 from the Randolph Foundation, another significant investor in the Mr. Milloy’s FEAFund, and it has also received over <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientsoffunder.php?funderID=9">$107,000 from the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation from 2002 to 2005</a>.</font>

<a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2007/11/28/we-berate-you-deride-a-look-at-steven-j-milloys-current-affiliates-and-backers/"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4" color="#000000">http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2007/11/28/we-berate-you-deride-a-look-at-steven-j-milloys-current-affiliates-and-backers/</font></a>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">As I mentioned above, the <a href="http://www.mediatransparency.org/funderprofile.php?funderID=21">Randolph Foundation</a> is another significant investor in Mr. Milloy’s FEAFund. <b>Randolph Foundation trustee James Q. Wilson</b> is also Chairman of the AEI’s <a href="http://www.aei.org/about/filter.,contentID.20038142214500076/default.asp">Council of Academic Advisers</a>. The Randolph Foundation is a relatively new conservative foundation, so there’s not a lot of information on them available, but the 2005 Form 990 shows that the Foundation is a significant donor to the AEI ($50,000) and the CEI ($18,000) and, as mentioned above, a minor donor to the Phillips Foundation.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">And while we’re on the topic of the AEI, we should probably point out that another major conservative fund, the <a href="http://www.scaife.com/sarah06.pdf">Sarah Scaife Foundation</a>, gave the AEI $575,000 in 2006, along with $60,000 for the Cato Institute, $350,000 for the CEI, $125,000 for the <a href="http://www.ncpa.org/">National Center for Policy Analysis</a> (where Mr. Milloy’s associate and AEI “briber” <b>Ken Green</b> is an environment expert), and another $125,000 to the Reason Foundation.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The second to last of the major investors is Robert A. Levy LLC, a business founded of Silver Spring Maryland. Robert A. Levy, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/17/AR2007031701055_pf.html">formerly of Silver Spring</a> and presently residing in Florida, is the <a href="http://www.cato.org/people/levy.html">Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies and a member of the Board of Directors at the Cato Institute</a>. Mr. Levy gave <a href="http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/cdj02d00/pdf">Congressional testimony regarding the <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">global tobacco settlement</span></a><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">, specifically suggesting that the settlement was “a shameful document, extorted by public officials who have perverted the rule of law to tap the deep pockets of a feckless and friendless industry.</span>” Given that Mr. Levy still works for the Cato Institute with Dr. Michael Gough, and Dr. Gough is associated with Mr. Milloy through CFIS, it’s not unreasonable that Mr. Levy would be in a position to become a major shareholder in the FEAFund.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The last major investor is <a href="http://www.donorscapitalfund.org/home.html">Donors Capital Fund (DCFund)</a>, a large fund associated with <a href="http://www.donorstrust.org/">Donors Trust</a>, a group that professes to be “the sole donor-advised plan dedicated to promoting a free society and serving donors who serve that purpose.” Several of the directors of DCFund have connections to groups that are related to Mr. Milloy directly or through other avenues. For example, two of the directors are associated with the American Enterprise Institute, namely <a href="http://www.donorscapitalfund.org/home.html?x=6">AEI’s President, Christopher DeMuth</a>, and <a href="http://www.donorscapitalfund.org/home.html?x=6"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Steven F. Hayward,</span> the F.K Weyerhaeuser Fellow in Law and Economics</a>. DCFund co-founder and Executive Director Whitney L. Ball once served as the Director of Development for the Cato Institute, is presently associated with <a href="http://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/">The Philanthropy Roundtable</a> and, via that association is also connected to <a href="http://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/content.asp?pl=406&contentid=434">Philanthropy Roundtable Vice-Chairman</a> and <b>Randolph Foundation director Heather R. Higgins.</b> Director Walter H. Mellor is the co-founder and President of the Institute for Justice, the same organization that fellow FEAFund principle investor Arthur Dantchik is a director of. The President of Donors Trust, Kimberly O. Dennis, is also the Executive Director of the <a href="http://www.searlefreedomtrust.org/">Searle Freedom Trust</a>, is Secretary for the Philanthropy Roundtable, and is a Director of PERC alongside fellow FEAFund principle investor William Dunn.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">In addition to all the personal connections between the various investors and the DCFund, the DCFund has also granted a total of $23,000 to the AEI, $44,000 to the Cato Institute, $36,000 to the <b>Reason Foundation</b>, and $12,000 each to the CEI and Institute for Justice in 2006 alone (from the 2006 Form 990).</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">These connections are what I could find via the various foundations’ websites and public FEC, SEC, and IRS documents. However, over the years there have been many more connections between Mr. Milloy and various corporations, conservative individuals, and conservative foundations. Given Mr. Milloy’s history of working for businesses who want to discredit profit-suppressing scientific data and his connections throughout the entire conservative money machine, it’s probably reasonable to guess that his financial backers for any particular project are the groups or individuals with the most to lose – ExxonMobil and Shell Oil vs. global heating, Philip Morris vs. second-hand tobacco smoke, <span style=" background-color: #FFF200;">Monsanto et al vs. Horizon Organic,</span> etc.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Mr. Milloy’s connections to the tobacco lawsuits in the 1990s as an official supplier of deceit and “junk science” casts a long shadow over his credibility, but he could have escaped that shadow by now if he had ever chosen to do so. Instead, Mr. Milloy continues to associate with purveyors of scientific propaganda and disinformation such as Kenneth Green of the AEI, Thomas and Deneen Borelli of the National Center for Public Policy Research, Michael Gough of the Cato Institute, and both the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Fox News in toto. In addition, via what little we’ve been able to glean about who funds Mr. Milloy’s various websites and institutes, it’s obvious that he’s continued a pattern of working for corporations (and their direct representatives) who have a vested interest in manipulating and distorting science to their particular ends. As such, even if <em>DemandDebate.com’s</em> survey of the IPCC “scientific consensus” were scientific, Mr. Milloy’s history and associations make him a dubious source for anything resembling real science, his publication of the ironically-titled <a href="http://www.junkscience.com/">JunkScience.com</a> notwithstanding.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">It’s important to understand that Mr. Milloy’s connections with the AEI, CEI, Cato Institute, Reason Foundation, and through them to the Randolph Foundation, Philanthropy Roundtable, Donors Capital Fund and Trust, the Phillips Foundation, PERC, et al doesn’t mean that Mr. Milloy is the guiding force behind these connections. <b>He is a single thread, albeit an important one, in an intricate tapestry of denial and misrepresentation of science in the service of conservative ideology</b>. Through the deep pockets of his various corporate and conservative supporters over the years, he’s become a very effective conservative soldier in the war for the minds, and votes, of the people.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Mr. Milloy’s connections and access to money fostered over years make him a very effective conservative soldier in the culture wars. And he’s not alone – the very same people who back Mr. Milloy also back Ken Green, Tom and Deneen Borelli, <b>Michael Gough, John Yoo, C. Boyden Gray, </b>to name just a few. Backed by money from corporations and wealthy conservative foundations, Mr. Milloy and his ilk attempt to use propaganda to further their own ideological ends, in this case by fostering a false sense of scientific uncertainty over global heating when in fact there is a <a href="http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2007/07/23/anti-global-heating-claims-a-reasonably-thorough-debunking/">great deal of certainty about the science of global heating</a>. And they won’t go away just because President Bush leaves office in January 2009 – they have too much to lose, ideologically and financially, to just roll over and go away when their <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/02/20030226-11.html">favorite President</a> has finished his second term.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Next time you read about something from <em>JunkScience.com</em>, <em>DemandDebate.com</em>,<b> <em>StopLabelingLies.com</em></b>, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, or watch Steve Milloy on Fox News, remember who the source is.</font>

Many of the sources below were created specifically to enable citizens and patriots like all of us to track the influence of money on politics at all levels. They are relatively simple to use and enable anyone who is concerned about the corrupting influence of money on politics to hold their various political representatives’ feet to the proverbial fire. I used each of them repeatedly and regularly in the process of researching this series.

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">According to a January 26, 2006 report in the <i>Chicago Tribune</i>, "The fund's advocacy stance boils down to opposing many of the things supported by traditional 'social investment funds,' because issues like <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Global_warming" title="Global warming">global warming</a> or corporate governance distract business from its real role of operating in the best interests of shareholders." However, its performance as an investment has been less than stellar.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The <i>Tribune</i> called it the "Stupid Investment of the Week ... Strip away the rhetoric, and you're getting a very expensive, underperforming index fund, while Milloy and partner Thomas Borelli get a platform for raising their pet issues. ... An expense ratio capped at 2 percent--ridiculously high for a portfolio of corporate giants--makes stock market returns unrealistic. From inception on March 1 of last year through Dec. 31, Free Enterprise Action returned 2.32 percent; the S&P 500 returned 4.72 percent. That's ugly."<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Free_Enterprise_Action_Fund#cite_note-2">[3]</a></sup></font>

Milloy’s team of science and policy experts (called the Regulatory Information Analysis Project) compiled a report titled, “Choices in Risk Assessment: The Role of Science Policy in the Environmental Risk Management Process.” Completed in the fall of 1994, the report concluded that environmental policy was largely based on politics, not science. But when the report was completed and circulated for review within the Clinton administration-run DOE, the report was flagged as politically incorrect and Milloy was ordered by staffers of Clinton appointee Carol Henry (a former EPA staffer) to keep the report secret. Sacrificing his business relationship with the Clinton DOE, Milloy disobeyed the order and released the report, which was subsequently featured in a Wall Street Journal editorial. The attention that “Choices in Risk Assessment” garnered coincided with the Republican takeover of 104th Congress and congressional focus on regulatory reform, vaulting Milloy into the regulatory reform debate about to take place on Capitol Hill.&nbsp;</font></a><font face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://www.debunkosaurus.com/debunkosaurus/index.php/Milloy_Congressional_testimony_March_6_1995" title="Milloy Congressional testimony March 6 1995" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Milloy testified before the U.S. Senate about risk assessment in the context of DOE clean-up on March 6, 1995.</a>&nbsp;The DOE never wound up spending hundreds of billions of dollars to clean up its weapons sites.

But the tide has turned in the last few weeks: The 1600-and-counting comments OMB has received so far are running 4 to 1 against the rule, says the Washington-based American Association of Universities.
