Particle accelerators have been around for many, many years and are responsible for some of the most important discoveries in particle physics. Up until CERN, they've been pretty innocent attempts at understanding the nature and composition of sub-atomic particles.
That being said, aside from CERN being down for the past 24 months for upgrades, they've done plenty there. The question is whether or not what they're doing is innocent scientific research.
A lot of signs that something genuinely sinister is going on. I wish your statement "It's a machine that does next to nothing" were true based on some of what we've seen.
Everyone knows journalists are idiots, and yet they still let themselves get led around by the nose by their efforts to sensationalise everything.
Same thing happened with the "god" particle. Some random scientist said something like "to find this would be like finding god" as a simile in difficulty, and suddenly journalists were trumpeting the death of the true God by finding this particle and wanna be mega church pastors were saying that what they were doing was demonic.
