Re: quantum randomness is BUNK

all the uncertainity principle says is that you cannot measure the
location and momentum of a particle at the same time

No. It says you can't measure the *precise* position and *precise* momentum at the same time. The more precise your position measurement is, the less precise your momentum measurement is. And the other way around.

it says NOTHING about randomness, in fact it says that you CANNOT even
know if it is random or not, because you cannot measure it

Why do you think the uncertainty principle says something about randomness? Uncertainty is a natural phenomena of wave motion whether it be classical or quantum. Certainly, randomness and order exist both in classical and quantum domains.

this is an example of just how far the mainstream of science can stray
from ethics

I don't think ethics has anything to do with your particular confusion about this. ;-)
