Search for his grants brings grants from US, he studied and did PhD in US and still affiliated with NYU, and the major and most valuable part of his network of academia connections is US, his private foundation in USA, etc. If he isn't in-line with the prevalent winds in US, he will be reduced to nothing, just a professor in some Uni, not a renown researcher with his own Wikipedia page, grants and conferences in US, etc.

Yes, man, for 20+ years you are peddling some politically favored theory, supposedly doing experimental studies (by 2013 already getting at least $3.75M dollars in grants - https://www.apa.org/monitor/2013/09/apf-grant ), and you have no idea that your theory is total BS until suddenly somebody else failed to reproduce yours and/or similar studies, and that is exactly when political climate is changing 180. It isn't a science, it is an ideology department serving whatever political regime is in power at any given moment.
