Nobody can protect their jobs by suppressing the greatest discoveries of the last century. For one thing they'll always triumph if they're real. For another, falsely suppressing a valid technology will destroy a career far faster and more definitively than promoting a scammy one. We seem to live in very different realities. Can you imagine being the person who tried to stop something extravagantly wonderful for the society or your country when all the facts were there for you to embrace it? I suppose there could be a very rare exception but in general, the idea that people will suppression wonderful new discoveries, in the presence of excellent evidence, to protect jobs sounds to me like paranoid nonsense.
