As the Joker said in The Dark Knight , "And. Here. We. Go." This is what happens when a group of people with a political or ideological axe to grind begin funding science.

If the people pushing these agendas succeed they all personally stand to make a lot of money and acquire a lot of political power. Don't forget it.
