University, Philanthropy and Cancel Culture. Back in September, 100 "independent" scientists at Stanford wrote a cancel culture letter to scream at Scot Atlas. Many of their points are now laughable. This wont age well. But let's see how they came to such woke outrage.
@Kevin_McKernan - Kevin McKernan
As many of you know, Stanford attracts a lot of money but one of the more noticeable donations is from Bill and Melinda Gates and is known as the Stanford Computer Science center. Woke Outrage Letter link below. https://drive.google.com/file/d/130OXUjdnwHmfmbiEZWK9d354QHaRi0-r/view
@Kevin_McKernan - Kevin McKernan
In addition to donating a Computer Science building, they also gifted $50M to the school for Vaccine development. https://philanthropynewsdigest.org/news/gates-foundation-awards-stanford-50-million-for-vaccine-discovery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gates_Computer_Science_Building,_Stanford

In fact there are over 151 grants to Stanford listed on the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation website. https://www.gatesfoundation.org/about/committed-grants?q=Stanford#jump-nav-anchor0
@Kevin_McKernan - Kevin McKernan
That is not a nice micro-aggression. Maybe "crackpot" is a better term for a MD in Neurology.
@Kevin_McKernan - Kevin McKernan
So Bill doesn't Like Scot. Bill has lots of investments in Vaccines. How should neutralize Scot? Maybe some of the recipients of his grants will get together and write a woke outrage cancel culture letter to underscore the diversity of thought found at a University.

Ann Arvin, MD. Serves on NIAID Advisory panel with Gates members. Works with the WHO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Arvin I've only covered the few names at the top of the letter but at the moment this seems pretty overt. Uncle Bill doesnt like anyone who challenges his vax goals.
@Kevin_McKernan - Kevin McKernan
So what happens? Everyone in the Gates cult gangs up on the independent thinkers to demand the university should contain only their thoughts. Monoversity would be a better name and this is a historical stain on the exceptional Stanford reputation.
@Kevin_McKernan - Kevin McKernan
Surprised? We witnessed the Yellow Snow Memorandum resort to the same type of hypocritical behavior. They crucified Scot for his Hoover connections The monopolistic ethos of their philanthropist shines through in the behavior of their grant recipients.

Just so we are clear about philanthropy. The Gates Foundation has over $430M in Pfizer/BioNTech stock. Nothing in Merck’s Ivermectin. NIH has patent royalties for Moderna. But none of this matters. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.axios.com/moderna-nih-coronavirus-vaccine-ownership-agreements-22051c42-2dee-4b19-938d-099afd71f6a0.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fool.com/amp/investing/2020/09/24/4-coronavirus-vaccine-stocks-the-bill-melinda-gate/
@Kevin_McKernan - Kevin McKernan
The holdings are not all BNTX. The 437M is spread across multiple vaccine bets but BioNTech is up 4X since last March and now valued over $100M trading at $107/share today. It was at $13 in Oct 2019.

Remember all the outrage when Billionaire Pedophile Epstein was caught buying university influence? Wrecked a department at MIT. Not suggesting Bill is this evil but it’s a reminder that these conflicts are important to have on the table when his influence network is so large.
@Kevin_McKernan - Kevin McKernan
This is where it gets interesting. Gates encourages AZ/Oxford to not take the free vax for all route. That can’t be good for Pfizer. Also set up CEPI to try to control vax pricing. Collusion through NGO/Philanthropy while stock portfolio banking on ROI? https://www.google.com/amp/s/khn.org/news/rather-than-give-away-its-covid-vaccine-oxford-makes-a-deal-with-drugmaker/amp/

In the NYT, @powellAtlantic notes that UC Berkeley carried out a cluster hire—eliminating 75% of faculty job applicants based on DEI statement alone. The second photo is Berkeley's own description. Universities around the U.S. have embraced this model. A quick thread.
@JohnDSailer - John Sailer
@powellAtlantic For a 2021 cluster hire in psych, Vanderbilt University's received over 400 job applicants. The search team cut the pool to 50-60 based on DEI statements alone. They used Berkeley's rubric—the one that penalizes candidates who for saying they want to "treat everyone the same."
@JohnDSailer - John Sailer
In 2020, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center lead a cluster hire—noting its commitment "to ensuring that all candidates hired share our commitment to diversity, antiracism, and inclusion." The guidelines for writing a DEI statement notes that that might including discussing one's understanding of "antiracism, decolonization, bias mitigation, social justice, etc."
@JohnDSailer - John Sailer
The NIH is funding DEI cluster hiring at universities around the country—to the tune of $241 million. For every job created through the grant, DEI statements mandatory and heavily weighed. When I FOIAed the DEI statement rubrics used by two of the grantee institutions, I learned—with no surprise—that they used UC Berkeley's rubric.

@the_redoubt - The Redoubt
Harvard Has Lost Their Minds Guest columnist @JCAndersonNYC Since its founding in 1636, Harvard University has been regarded as America’s premier institution of academic excellence and the gold standard of education. For centuries, their prestigious reputation has attracted the world’s brightest minds, offering graduates a pathway to many of the best jobs our country has to offer--including eight separate US presidencies. From Teddy Roosevelt to Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, Harvard played an integral role in nurturing some of the greatest minds in history. Despite all of this, any high school dropout with subpar vision can see that things at Harvard are not okay. Their recent behavior is akin to watching an academic institution suddenly decide to emulate scenes from Lord Of The Flies or Edward Norton in Fight Club when he punches himself in the face. If Harvard were a loved one, we would have them committed to a mental institution out of fear they are suicidal, and in need of serious help. Following the recent terrorist attacks committed by Hamas, the Harvard College Palestine Solidarity Committee issued a press statement blaming the Jewish state for the atrocities that unfolded. 34 separate student groups co-signed the letter saying that Israel “is the only one to blame” in an incident that claimed the lives of over 1,000 people including the lives of 29 Americans. When one thinks of Harvard, the first things that come to mind are a mixture of the brightest minds in the country and the Ivy league imagery of a Ralph Lauren catalog, making it hard to imagine that an institution that defines American excellence and privilege would align politically with a terrorist group. All of this raises the question, what is causing Harvard students to hold such radical beliefs? Well, we could start by looking at their current course catalog, which is filled with exactly that. A breaking report from Manhattan Institute’s Chris Rufo (@realchrisrufo) shows that Harvard launched a course in 2021 to “Decolonize Harvard'' led by a non-binary Latinx academic with they/them pronouns who claims that Harvard is a settler-colonial, genocidal, and eurocentric institution that must be decolonized and would no longer be recognizable after the process was completed. Have they lost their mind? Yes, you read every last word of that correctly - Harvard is currently paying someone to teach a class to decolonize and ultimately dismantle itself. After Harvard began to take heat for expressing solidarity with the actions of Hamas terrorists, a dozen prominent CEOs banded together and promised not to hire any of the Harvard students who signed the letter. Even this was still not enough for Harvard to back down. Harvard President Claudia Gray doubled down after this incident, claiming "Our university embraces a commitment to free expression. That commitment extends to views that many of us find objectionable or outrageous." As we all would agree, freedom of speech is one of America’s most important values, which would lead one to believe her statement is a respectable answer, only if it were true. A recent report from http://thefire.org, ranked Harvard an impressive 0/100 when it comes to free speech on campus, proving the President’s noble support for the first amendment to be nothing more than gaslighting. Harvard’s deep institutional rot doesn’t stop at their recent support for radicalism, but can also be found in their recent hires, all of whom further illustrate their departure from things like truth, merit, and excellence. The recent hiring decisions involving Mayor Bill de Blasio, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, and Brian Stelter raise serious questions about the institution's priorities, forcing us all to wonder if a commitment to progressive ideology is now the only thing that matters in the halls of higher education. While all three of these individuals are indeed notable names within mainstream politics, you would be hard-pressed to find people on either the left or right who would describe their professional track records as worthy of being championed. In fact, consensus across the aisle is that all three failed to do their jobs. Not one of them were guided by the oaths they swore or moral commitments to telling the truth, but appeared to be guided by their true north-star – their shared belief in far-left radical politics. Trust in mainstream media is currently at an all time low, and both Chicago and NYC are currently plagued by crime, looting, and disorder not seen in decades. De Blasio, Lightfoot, and Stelter all played integral roles in getting us here.Two of America’s greatest cities were destabilized under their leadership, while Stelter spent his days convincing the general public that things were going great and we should worry more about the dangers of conservative media. Despite the good years that occurred during Bill de Blasio’s tenure as Mayor, history will remember him as being the mayor who failed to rise to the occasion in NYC’s darkest moment since 9/11. Ceding the city to looters and instructing the NYPD to stand down during the George Floyd riots will forever be remembered as a stain on American history. Truth be told, the good years of his mayoralty had nothing to do with his ability to lead, but were the results of being handed a highly functioning city by his predecessor, Michael Bloomberg. His approach to governance left constituents from all walks of life in agreement that quality of life declined during his two terms as Mayor, an era where we lost our handle on critical issues such as crime, inequality, and homelessness. By extending a teaching position to de Blasio, Harvard appears to be rewarding his radical beliefs despite the harm he caused to NYC. Similarly, Mayor Lori Lightfoot's appointment to a teaching position at Harvard raises eyebrows considering it was clearly not based on her performance. While Lightfoot was campaigning to keep her job during the 2022 election, Chicago was approaching its third year in a row of a historically high murder rate that had not been reached in 25 years. With murder rates averaging between 700-800 per year, Chicago once again earned its title of being the murder capital of America under her leadership. By granting her a position at Harvard, the institution sends a message that it values leftist ideology over effective governance. Brian Stelter's inclusion on this list is particularly offensive given his dismissal from CNN over concerns surrounding his credibility as a journalist. The damage created by Stelter harms not only our cities, but the country as a whole. It brings into question Harvard's position on fundamental principles such as “is it even important to tell the truth?” Harvard's decision to offer him a teaching position stands at odds with thier commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity. By extending this opportunity to Stelter, the university risks compromising its own credibility and diminishing the value of its educational offerings, simultaneously tarnishing the reputation of our country. Ask yourself the question: Does anyone seriously believe that Bill de Blasio and Lori Lightfoot are smart enough to teach at the best school in the world? If presented with Harvard level tests, does anyone think they could pass them? Then why on earth would these same people be qualified to teach there? Only one answer remains, and that is that Harvard is no longer interested in remaining the gold standard of education, but now serves as a breeding ground for left wing radicalism, and a soft landing pad for the movement’s most prominent fallen soldiers.
@RealCandaceO - Candace Owens
Two years ago I enrolled in an online course at UCLA law. I kid you not when I say my final exam essay was to argue against Project Veritas by representing the arguments of the New York Times in their ongoing defamation case. For weekly extra credit in this class, we were encouraged to show proof of attending various social justice events. Imagine attending a protest for extra credit? I declined to attend these events but I am sharing this experience now to underscore just how severe indoctrination has become across college campuses. Professors will literally offer to improve your grade if you attend a protest or “get involved” in a variety of their left-leaning causes. In this same class, the assigned textbook stated that Donald Trump gassed protesters on his way to visit the church during BLM riots. It was a literal printed lie in a university textbook. I of course argued with my professor and the students who were convinced it did actually take place. People do not realize the state of college campuses today and how nearly impossible it is for students not to fall victim to the lies they are learning in their classrooms.
@RealCandaceO - Candace Owens
It is easy to blame the students. It is harder to examine the ecosystem of persistent lies that has cemented their hatred— even for their own country. In order to fix it, the American colleges themselves must be made to suffer financially. I would again like to state how wonderful it is that donors are beginning to pull their funding. It is long overdue.
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
1/ I like Rikki, and I like the fire; they want liberal values to win. So do I. But, most of the major universities are actually anti-liberal, and fixing that is actually very difficult and no one seems to have a plan which is both realistic and efffective.
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
2/ The fact is many if not most of our universities are no longer liberal, and this trend is worsening. These institutions are populated by people who do not support or defend liberalism. The radicals who took over are not persuaded by our ideas. So now what?
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
3/ What @realchrisrufo is trying to figure out, and what I am also trying to figure out, is simple: "What is a realistic and effective strategy for fighting back agajnst the illiberal, authoritarian, leftists take-over of our Universities." And I ask everyone "What's the plan?"
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
@realchrisrufo 4/ The plans put fourth by most people are either ineffective, or unrealistic. The most detailed set of suggestions for university reform was put fourth by John Searle in his 1971 book "The Campus War." But that was 50 years ago, and I am not sure that strategy would work today https://t.co/BmMYm5Ug6x
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
@realchrisrufo 5/ As I am sure @RIKKISCHLOTT and @glukianoff are aware, Searle was the first faculty member at Berkley to join the free speech movement, and he spoke at those rallies in 1959 (pics below) Searle is an ardent Liberal and free speech defender. https://t.co/li61V9z6r0
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
@realchrisrufo @RIKKISCHLOTT @glukianoff 6/ As far back as 1971 Searle was concerned about how universities were being sieged by radicals, and in 1993 he wrote about this problem in great detail. I see very few people reading Searle on this in spite of the fact he is perhaps the most cited philosopher of his generation https://t.co/YO33xP2EwF
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
@realchrisrufo @RIKKISCHLOTT @glukianoff 7/ As much as I appreciate @Yascha_Mounk @ConceptualJames @HPluckrose @RIKKISCHLOTT @glukianoff @JonHaidt and others doing intellectual geneologies of wokeness, Searle saw all this coming...in 1993 The rest of us, and I include myself here, are embarassingly late to the party. https://t.co/qKaMVbo2rD
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
@realchrisrufo @RIKKISCHLOTT @glukianoff @Yascha_Mounk @ConceptualJames @HPluckrose @JonHaidt 8/ The problem here is far deeper than most people are willing to look. Searle pointed out just how deep the rot goes in several published academic articles in the 90's and also in his book "Mind, Language, and Society." He has the same diagnosis @realchrisrufo and I do...
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
@realchrisrufo @RIKKISCHLOTT @glukianoff @Yascha_Mounk @ConceptualJames @HPluckrose @JonHaidt 9/ Namely that the academic arguments put forward by the leftists activist-scholars and professors are spectacularly weak and are not out forward in the name of truth and inquirey..they are only put forward for the cynical purpose of achieving leftist political change. https://t.co/19XbzbJJUe
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
@realchrisrufo @RIKKISCHLOTT @glukianoff @Yascha_Mounk @ConceptualJames @HPluckrose @JonHaidt 10/ If that is correct, and I think it is, then @realchrisrufo and I are in good company in saying that the problem goes right to the bone of education, and it was cynical leftists laundering ideas who did it. The question is....what do we do about it?
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
@realchrisrufo @RIKKISCHLOTT @glukianoff @Yascha_Mounk @ConceptualJames @HPluckrose @JonHaidt 11/ Searle put forward an answer in 1971, but I'm not sure that is programme for university reform would be very effective today. Things are much worse, and I think a much stronger medicine is needed. The question remains "what do we do?" I am open to suggestions. /fin
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
1/ The response to the Oct 7 Hamas attack exposed universities for the morally and intellectually bankrupt institutions they are. They have been hijacked by activists who are using them as vehicles to advance left-wing ideology, rather than using them to seek truth and educate.
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
2/ As John Searle pointed out in 1999, in the humanities departments of our most prestigious universities the dominant view is that the United States is inherently evil. And this is what they teach the next generation of professors, lawyers, teachers, and political leaders. https://t.co/elaphyC6GK
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
3/ Searle also pointed out that the result of this is "unthinking left wing orthodoxy" by people who see their role in the university as being to carry out a left wing political agenda. And we are now seeing the fruit of this on university campuses and in the larger society. https://t.co/xh8oEucVCW
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
4/ 1993 Searle pointed out that Marxism was "refuted by events" which had discredited it. So m Marxism retreated to literature departments where people who wanted to use culture as an instrument for "social change" (AKA advancing leftist ideology) used it as an interpretive lens. https://t.co/w1OrNQHJU7
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
5/ Searle went on to show that the activists no longer believed in objective truth, and believe that thebpurpose of educstion is not to pursue truth. The activists think education is always primarily political and ought to be used to inculcate leftist ideology into students. https://t.co/MlgFuBOdSx
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
6/ So how did this happen? How were unjversities takr over so easily? One reason Searle provides is that academics are timid and weak. They refuse to stand up for the truth and thus are easily defeated by activists who will run them over to gain power. https://t.co/y68FYgOPt8
@wokal_distance - Wokal Distance
7/ Many of us have been screaming about this for years, and nobody believed us. Now the truth can no longer be hidden or ignored and stench of the moral and intellectual rot in our universities is being exposed for the world to see. Now let's do something about it. /fin
@primalpoly - Geoffrey Miller
A little rant about American universities, in the light on the recent Congressional testimony debacle: Today I learned that Harvard President Claudine Gay seems to have published only 11 peer-reviewed journal papers in her entire academic career. 'So what?', you might ask. Well, that's about the number you'd normally need to get hired as a first-year tenure-track assistant professor at a decent state university. It's the number I published in the 12 months before I got tenure. It's about the number that my more workaholic colleagues publish every year, decade after decade, throughout their careers. And it's less than 1% as many papers as get published by outstanding researchers like behavior geneticist Nick Martin (with over 1,500 journal papers). The situation at Harvard is not unusual. The leaders of academia are not typically leading academics, in the sense of highly productive researchers or widely respected teachers. One might say they are career bureaucrats - but that would misunderstand their crucial ideological function. The American people need to understand that in modern universities, both public and private, administrators function more like party political officers in communist Russian or Chinese universities. They are selected, throughour their careers, largely for their political commitments, and their willingness to enforce them. Like Cold War commissars, their allegiance is to the party, not to academia where they happen to work. I mean 'party' quite literally: the Democratic party. Most American university administrators are loyal Democrats, and can't really imagine why anyone wouldn't be. Very few are Republicans or Libertarians. And an increasing proportion of them are fully woke identitarian Leftists: they often launched their careers with a short series of papers on woke topics, using woke ideological frameworks, published in woke journals - before turning to the administrative track that offers much more political power to propagandize, indoctrinate, and control. 'So what?', you're might ask. I've seen many calls for university administrators to enforce the rules of classical liberalism and free speech more fairly. This is like asking a Soviet-era commissar to abandon their Communist party allegiance, and to develop an entirely new identity and ethos grounded in an ideology that they have spent their entire career fighting. It will not happen. Political animals do not change their spots. University presidents who have prioritized amassing ideological power over producing academic research will not suddenly rediscover the merits of open inquiry. They need to be fired, and replaced with academic leaders who are actually leading academics - rather than party political officers. https://mindingthecampus.org/2022/12/16/the-president-has-no-clothes/

@CBradleyThomps1 - C. Bradley Thompson
650+ Harvard professors have signed a letter to the Harvard Corporation in support of President Claudine Gay. @Harvard is now in crisis. The Harvard Board is now stuck between a rock & a hard place: if they fire Gay (also now accused of plagiarism) the faculty will be in revolt; if they keep her, the university will be saddled with a national disgrace. The faculty letter is also proof that the firing of Gay will have no effect on the moral-intellectual culture @Harvard. @Harvard is gone. It cannot be saved. Harvard has a $50 billion endowment. It should never again receive a penny of taxpayer money. #defundHarvard @elonmusk, @BillAckman, @realchrisrufo, @realChrisBrunet, @jordanbpeterson, @VDHanson, @rogerkimball, @DouglasKMurray.

I’ll start by drawing a comparison between a scientific theory & a Critical Theory (CT), which is the theoretical work that underlies DEI administrations, most student activism, & the disingenuous testimony we heard at the hearings. 2/n

A scientific theory emerges from the observation of facts. It’s a kind of story we tell about why certain groupings of facts show up the way they do. 3/n

A CT, however, doesn’t hold itself to this expectation. Critical theorists claim that social science must integrate philosophy into its methods so that findings work practically toward a moral end. 5/n

Dear Mr. @derrickNAACP, Let me offer some rebuttals to the points that you raised in the spirit of the free exchange of ideas, which by the way @harvard scored last on out of 248 universities surveyed by @TheFIREorg. 1) President Gay is not a distinguished scholar using objective bibliometrics. She has an h-index that is well below what is typically required for someone to be promoted to full professor. 2) President Gay is not a distinguished administrator as she has spent her entire career promulgating the DIE cult (diversity, inclusion, and equity), which violates every fabric of the meritocratic ethos that one would expect from @harvard. 3) Some very serious repeat allegations about plagiarism have been levied against her, across many of her works including her dissertation. Unless you think that plagiarism is an inherent part of white supremacy then it is difficult to see your point. Plagiarism cannot be contextualized. 4) She was unwilling to deontologically condemn the open hatred of Jews on campus. Instead, she had to "contextualize" it. Do you think that the repudiation of Jew-hatred is a form of white supremacy? You do everyone a disservice by invoking the boogeyman of white supremacy here. President Gay is being criticized for her behaviors and positions. The only ones who have ever cared about her skin color are those who repeatedly promoted her to positions that she was unfit to hold. Be careful to accuse me of white supremacy as I'm a Lebanese-Jewish war refugee of color so I outrank you and President Gay in Victimology Poker. Let me tag @BillAckman; I'm sure he'll enjoy this exchange.

A Tale of Two Harvard Presidents In 2006, Harvard president Larry Summers was forced to resign. His crime, among other things, was a speech he had given the year prior, in which he suggested that gender disparities in science and engineering might be the result of innate differences between men and women. The speech led to a furious backlash, and a no-confidence vote from Harvard faculty. When Summers became president of Harvard in 2001, he boasted an impressive resume: He had served as the Secretary of the US Treasury, chief economist at the World Bank, and the youngest-ever Harvard economics professor to achieve tenure. He had published six books and well over 100 academic articles. None of his work had ever been accused of plagiarism. Fast forward to 2022: Harvard appoints Claudine Gay to serve as its newest president. At the time, Gay had published a career total of 11 academic articles. For context, Summers published more than that in the single year of 1987. Gay had never published an academic book. As David Randall of @NASorg noted when she was appointed, "very few professors can even get tenure with so thin a publication record — absent the tailwind from [diversity] quotas." But Gay was able to ascend to the most prestigious position at the most prestigious university in the world. Now, thanks to the reporting of @realchrisrufo and @realChrisBrunet, we know that Gay's anemic academic output wasn't even all hers. She lifted entire paragraphs of her work from other authors, without proper attribution. As we saw with Larry Summers, Harvard presidents have been ousted for far less. But in spite of all that, the Harvard board is unanimously standing by Gay — and the legacy media is circling the wagons. This is business as usual for modern academia: Political favoritism, racial preferences, and corrupt self-dealing. It's a racket. And if the polls are any indication, Americans are finally beginning to realize as much.

@njhochman - Nate Hochman
I noted this in the replies, but Larry Summers' 2005 speech—which argued that innate differences might explain some disparities between men and women in science—caused one MIT professor to fear that she "was going to be sick," because "this kind of bias makes me physically ill."

Eloquent and heartbreaking. From Harvard Law Professor Mark Ramseyer's email to a Harvard list (with permission). I came for my PhD in '99, he came as a prof in '98. We were each publicly attacked for our views in '21. "Harvard is a vastly less tolerant place than it was when I arrived in 1998. The intolerance is a function of an increasingly large fraction of our colleagues. And we – the rest of us on the Harvard faculty – let it happen. The cancelling, the punishments, the DEI bureaucracy, the DEI statements, the endless list that we could all recite – all this happened on our watch. We saw it happen, but we did nothing. We were too busy. We were scared to speak up. We – we on the faculty – let Harvard become what it is. The Harvard that we have is the result of our own collective moral failure. The alumni who are furious are not trying to turn Harvard into something we do not want. They are trying to rescue Harvard from what we let it become. We as a faculty failed. That is why the alumni are speaking up. That is why we formed the Council on Academic Freedom in the first place." @cafharvard @sapinker

This was back when they were openly pushing to be able to censor truth (conservatives and populist pushback) as a national security threat under the "Disinformation Governance Board". Once in DHS, it's untouchable. Our very own Ministry of Truth. 👁 This Time article was priming for that. Just one tiny piece of an avalanche of that identical material pouring out of every MSM and DNC crack at the time, which was all part of conditioning (brainwashing) our populace into accepting the abandonment of the First Amendment under the basis of "safety". Constant existential threat; the tactic of every regime. Yes, it's that horrifying. It's what Hitchens called the "Will to Obey". There is a second and perhaps even scarier aspect though. This is a textbook propaganda move where you get out ahead of a story you know will one day land by sharing a rose-colored version of the same. It allows you to confront and be the one who leads the topic, then those trying to get the truth out begin in an adversarial posture. "Limited hangout". It's a classic propaganda technique.

I've obtained documents alleging that Harvard DEI administrator Shirley Greene plagiarized more than 40 passages in her PhD thesis, making her the third black woman at Harvard to be accused of academic fraud. Harvard's plagiarism crisis is spinning out of control. 🧵
@realchrisrufo - Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️
Greene is a Title IX coordinator affiliated with the Office for Gender Equity. She has worked to advance "Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging," and hosted a panel on "The Past, Present, and Future of Juneteenth" with the DEI department. The Harvard Crimson previously downplayed the allegations against Greene, but I have obtained the full plagiarism complaint that paints a much more damning indictment of Greene’s scholarship than the student newspaper had let on.
@realchrisrufo - Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️
In the dissertation, Greene lifts multiple passages directly from Janelle Lee Woo’s 2004 dissertation, "Chinese American Female Identity." In one section, Greene copied words, phrases, and nearly entire paragraphs verbatim, without proper attribution or quotation.
@realchrisrufo - Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️
In addition, Greene lifted an entire table on "Racial/Ethnic Identity Development Models," a foundational concept in the paper, without proper attribution to Woo. This appears to be a flagrant violation of Harvard's plagiarism policy.
@realchrisrufo - Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️
In total, the complaint identifies dozens of such passages in Greene's dissertation, ranging from minor infringements to what appears to be outright theft of concepts and language.
@realchrisrufo - Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️
Harvard's policy is quite clear: "If you copy language word for word from another source and use that language in your paper, you are plagiarizing verbatim."

🚨🇮🇱Nick discusses how Israeli interests motivated the attack on schools, noting that the Manhattan Institute covered up a plagiarism story about Ackman’s wife and is funded by Paul Singer‼️ “TikTok was banned by Congress under pressure from the Jewish lobby. Anti-Semitism laws codify the definition of anti-Semitism in various states, deploying anti-Semitism monitors and interpreting civil rights law on campuses. These were two separate laws passed in Congress to shut down pro-Palestine protests. A group of students at Harvard who published an open letter justified the Hamas attacks, and there were major pro-Palestine demonstrations at Harvard. If there is a strain of pro-Palestine sympathy at Harvard, Israel must be deeply concerned, because that may be expressed in future generations of America’s elites. If the United States elite in both the private and public sectors did not have affinity with Israel, it could seriously compromise the aid that Israel relies upon for survival, as the most powerful country in the world needs to be their critical benefactor.” “Bill Ackman graduated from Harvard, and he is a Jewish Zionist. He is a major donor to Harvard and donates every year. He’s also a lifelong Democrat donor. Ackman began an activist campaign on the Harvard campus to shut down the protests on behalf of Israel. He coordinated in a group chat with over a hundred New York City elites, including other billionaires, the mayor, and members of the police force, to quash the protests. He organized with other billionaires, congressmen, media, and conservative activist groups to apply pressure on Harvard to shut down the activism. Ackman went after the president of Harvard, Claudine Gay, who is a DEI hire. She replaced the former Jewish president. So it was very clear that the goal of targeting Claudine Gay with this high-pressure campaign in media, Congressional hearings, and on-campus activism was about her refusal to shut down pro-Palestine activism.” “Claudine Gay resigned due to a plagiarism scandal that had been published about a year earlier by Chris Rufo and Chris Brunet, revealing that in her scholarship, she improperly cited some things. Ackman found the scandal and used it as a credible attack to pressure her to step down amidst a high-pressure activist billionaire campaign to force the resignation of three Ivy League presidents at Harvard, UPenn, and Columbia. The presidents were not Jewish, unlike others, and they entertained pro-Palestine activism. Chris Rufo, a senior fellow, and Chris Brunet worked for the Manhattan Institute, which is funded by Paul Singer, another Jewish, pro-Israel Zionist billionaire in the finance space who is an activist donor. His two big causes are gay rights and Israel. He is a mega-donor for Republicans like Bush and Trump.” “Brunet found out that Ackman’s wife, an Israeli-born Jewish academic, had heavily plagiarized in her scholarship as well. Claudine Gay improperly cited things; it was not technically plagiarism. Brunet discovered that Ackman’s wife had copied entire sections from Wikipedia and passed them off as her own. The Manhattan Institute told him he could not publish that piece. He was told in group chats and quite forcefully in private that he should not continue to explore that lead. At the same time they shut down a far worse plagiarism scandal, which would have implicated Bill Ackman’s wife, Rufo was seeking additional funding from Bill Ackman. After October 7th, Ackman shifted his party affiliation from lifelong Democrat to Republican and started giving to Republican causes. Suddenly, Paul Singer, a lifelong Republican, pro-Israel Jewish supporter of the Manhattan Institute, and Bill Ackman, a lifelong Democrat but also Jewish and pro-Israel, were suddenly supporting the same think tank and the same mission: to overthrow the Ivy League presidents who supported Palestine over Israel.”

🚨⚠️Nick points out that after Brunet exposed Rufo’s Israeli influence operation, everyone called him unstable instead of addressing the substance‼️ “Brunet came out a year later after being fired and admitted on Twitter last week that indeed Claudine Gay was fired because she didn’t toe the line on Israel. He was attacked viciously by his former mentor, Chris Rufo. Chris Rufo did not address the substance of what Brunet said; rather, Chris Rufo stated that Brunet was troubled, was fired for being disrespectful, and has mental problems, going towards a dark place.” “IM 1776, a publication funded by Claremont, began to attack Chris Brunet, among many, many others. They all came out to attack him, and again, did not address the substance of the allegation, which is this tremendous double standard. Specifically, the source of the funding of the think tank, their seeming complicity in a foreign influence operation, and passing off the plagiarism story as though it was some victory for academic integrity, when in reality they were serving as an extension of Israel’s foreign ministry.” “Chris Brunet raised the concern that two writers in particular, Leor Sapir and Ilya Shapiro, who are also fellows at the Manhattan Institute, might have a pro-Israel bias. He was called anti-Semitic for saying that. Leor Sapir was born in Israel and served in Israel’s military. Ilya Shapiro works at another think tank, which is specifically a Jewish policy think tank that serves to advance Israel’s national security interests. There was another Jewish academic who attacked Chris Brunet, a guy by the name of Nathan Cofnas. He said that Chris Brunet is a vile anti-Semite. But recently unearthed videos reveal that Nathan Cofnas said in a Zoom call earlier this year that Jews will hysterically call people anti-Semites when they don’t have an argument, and it’s getting ridiculous.”

🚨📰Nick dissects Chris Rufo’s article for Compact magazine, where Rufo calls for censoring groypers and anti-Semites and labels anyone who challenges operations like his as irrational‼️ “Rufo wrote a piece in a magazine called Compact, which was founded by Sohrab Amari, a former editor for the New York Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch is a donor for Netanyahu and a close personal friend of his. Sohrab is the editor and the founder of Compact, which published a piece by Chris Rufo attacking Chris Brunet and me. The article calls for total censorship of so-called racial anti-Semites. The term racism was created by Leon Trotsky, real name Lev Bronstein. The cultural Marxism and social Marxism that we see in academia today come from Columbia University, where the Frankfurt School fled to after Hitler took over Germany. The Institute for Social Research, or Frankfurt School, left Frankfurt when Hitler came to power because they were Jewish Communists. They carried on their work at Columbia, promulgating what we call cultural Marxism or critical race theory. Chris Rufo says that’s an anti-Semitic fringe conspiracy theory and should be censored.” “Trump destroyed the intellectual consensus within conservatism. Now who will create that new right-wing consensus? The right-wingers are terrified that it will be more nationalist, more Christian, more pro-white, and more traditional than what came before. When we say that Israel influences our politics, they say it is based on mental illness, irrational conspiratorial thinking, envy, resentment, fear, and the impulse to locate a scapegoat. An idea in the philosophy of René Girard, a favorite of Thiel. It wasn’t about plagiarism because when the protégé at the Manhattan Institute found worse plagiarism, it was buried because that academic was Israeli and the wife of another pro-Israel Jewish donor. They declined to cover a worse plagiarism scandal for someone that serves Israel’s security interests. The conflict of interest of their donors, like Paul Singer, and their fellows, like Leor Sapir and Ilya Shapiro.” “Chris Rufo, who leads the Manhattan Institute, publishes an article and says anybody talking about this story should be censored on the internet. He says the problem with free speech is there are no gatekeepers; there’s no control. We don’t get to control the conversation. Now that Trump has made everybody stop believing establishment Republicans, now the GOP base will believe anybody. Since Twitter allows every opinion, now they might believe these conspiracy theorists talking about Paul Singer and Bill Ackman and the state of Israel. He says then they should be censored because they’re conspiracy theorists. They’re not facts; it’s rooted in fear, envy, scapegoating. He says that since Donald Trump destroyed the right, the new project is to gatekeep the conspiracy theorists, gatekeep the Groypers, and the alt-right. Anybody who thinks that it should be America first and restore the intellectual consensus around what he calls a colorblind meritocracy. Judging individuals on their merits, fair play, colorblind equality. Who exactly does that benefit in the United States?” “If you go to Sovereign House, Claremont Institute, or any of these organizations, you’ll find it’s all Jewish people. Were they judging each other on their merits as individuals? Jews can operate as a collective, but we must treat them as individuals. When Jewish people go and give their billions to groups to support Israel’s national security interests, we have to let them because they’re individuals as opposed to agents of a foreign state. Compact is funded by Alex Soros, Peter Thiel, and Thomas Klingenstein. Paul Singer, Bill Ackman, Rupert Murdoch, Alex Soros, Peter Thiel, Klingenstein: they’re funding all these different projects, and every one of the anonymous Twitter people, they’re all downstream from that.”

✡️💰Nick Fuentes discusses who funds Compact to support Rufo’s call for censorship of any criticism of Jews while advocating for colorblindness and anti-racialism‼️ “Chris Rufo published this piece calling for the censorship of Groypers in Compact magazine, run by Sohrab Ahmari. Compact is funded by George and Alex Soros through the OSF. The Open Society Foundation takes its name from a book by a philosopher named Karl Popper, who said that the only way to prevent another Holocaust is to create an open society where there will be tolerance, diversity, pluralism, colorblindness, fair play, and individual rights. Karl Popper is the architect of what we would call globalism progressivism. Compact published Chris Rufo, who says we’re undermining fair play and colorblindness. Conspiracy theorists pointing to this Israeli-funded operation are abusing free speech, and they’re not legitimate opinions, and they must be crushed. Compact is authoritarian, which is confusing because the Open Society Foundation typically supports liberal tenets unless the discourse is anti-Semitic. Soros is not opposed to Israel. Soros is one of the biggest backers of Israeli causes. The difference is that Soros is a left-wing Israeli, so he supports progressives and liberals and leftists inside of Israel. He’s still an ardent Zionist; he just finds himself on the other side of a factional dispute with other Zionists.” “Rupert Murdoch, a backer of Netanyahu, owns Fox News and News Corp. The Likud party is the right-wing party; they’re in favor of a revision of Zionism, meaning expanding Israel’s territory through war. Before October 7th, there was the left, which opposed Netanyahu and his judicial reform, the one-state solution, and the solidification of Likud’s power over the state and the courts. Soros backs Netanyahu’s enemies. Netanyahu is tight with Viktor Orbán in Hungary. Soros backs opposition media in Hungary. Soros backs the left-wing opposition in Israel that’s protesting Netanyahu’s judicial reform. The political left and right are both funded by Jewish billionaires that are pro-Israel. They differ in their vision for the Israeli state. Soros pours billions of dollars into Israel; he just puts them behind progressive causes in Israel. American politics seems to be a proxy battle between the two sides of Israel’s politics because their billionaires put up the money for our politics.” “Compact is also funded by Peter Thiel and Tom Klingenstein. Half of Thiel’s net worth comes from Palantir. Jewish CEO Alex Karp flew the whole Board of Palantir to Israel after October 7th and said venture capital and private equity are coming together behind Israel. Palantir reserved 200 jobs just for Jews because of what’s happening to them. Thiel gave Vance $15 million to run in the Senate primary, securing Trump’s endorsement for J.D. Vance, which made him win the primary and become the senator and push Trump to make him vice president. Peter Thiel is one of the major backers for the Claremont Institute, which is one of the main think tanks providing that intellectual framework for a post-establishmentarian American right wing that Chris Rufo describes. Chris Rufo says after Trump blew up the institutions, there’s a vacuum, and now the right wing is figuring out a new intellectual consensus. The group that is figuring that out is one among them is Claremont, which is also backed by Paul Singer, who funds the Manhattan Institute. Tom Klingenstein is a major donor for the Claremont Institute and its current chairman. Compact magazine is funded by Alex Soros, Peter Thiel, and Tom Klingenstein. It’s funded by the OSF and Claremont, backed in part by News Corp publishing. Rufo says that we are poisoning the well for the post-establishmentarian right-wing consensus that’s being built after Trump with anti-Semitism and racialism.”

🌏🕎Nick Fuentes discusses the players behind NatCon and the Claremont Institute, highlighting how all of J.D. Vance’s intellectual influences are part of this Jewish influence operation‼️ “Peter Thiel also funds a group called The Edmund Burke Society, which puts on the annual National Conservatism Conference. NatCon hosts Thiel, Vance, Josh Hawley, Rubio, and DeSantis. It’s hosted by Saurabh Sharma, who runs American Moment, which will staff the Trump Administration. NatCon is run by Yoram Hazony, who is an old friend of Sohrab Ahmari. Hazony was born in Israel and lives in Israel. When he’s not running NatCon, he’s running the Herzl Institute in Israel. Yoram got his start 30 years ago when a group led by Irving Kristol funded his right-wing newspaper, the Princeton Tory at Princeton. That same group, led by Irving Kristol, funded Peter Thiel’s Stanford Review when Thiel was a student at Stanford roughly around the same time.” “At Thiel’s NatCon event, you had Curtis Yarvin, Josh Hammer, Michael Anton, and Sohrab Ahmari all hanging out. Yarvin, a Jew, writes Unqualified Reservations, which is published by Passage Press, which is run by Jonathan Keeperman, which receives funding from the Claremont Institute. Yarvin is the court philosopher of Thiel. Hammer is Jewish and used to write for The Daily Wire. Josh Hammer said that anti-Semitism is inherent in European DNA when writing for Ben Shapiro. Michael Anton is at the Claremont Institute. Michael Anton was a student of the founder of the Claremont Institute, Harry Jaffa, who is a West Coast Straussian. West Coast Straussians are hugely influential at Stanford, where Thiel was a student. Jaffa was a student of Leo Strauss, a Zionist Jew from Germany who was mentored by Ze’ev Jabotinsky, the progenitor of the Likud party. Anton was put in the National Security Council in the first Trump administration because Thiel was on Trump’s transition team. Thiel gave Trump millions, spoke at the RNC, became a part of the transition team, and then put Anton inside the administration.” “These are JD Vance’s intellectual influences according to Politico: The Claremont Institute, Peter Thiel, René Girard, who is Peter Thiel’s favorite philosopher, who Chris Rufo echoed in his piece, and Curtis Yarvin, Peter Thiel’s court philosopher, NatCon luminary, Passage Press author, and Sohrab Ahmari. Sohrab is a former communist, like his co-editors of Compact. Every neoconservative in the 1970s who founded the neocon movement were former Trotskyists. They were all Jews. The surprise attack on October 6, 1973, which started the Yom Kippur War. All the Jewish Trotskyists became neocons, became cold warriors backing Reagan, just like Sohrab Ahmari. But now, just like JD Vance, he has converted to Catholicism after being a neocon for all this time.” “Sohrab is tight with Vance. Trump goes out there in 2015 and he says Jewish donors won’t like me because I’m not going to take their money. He says Marco Rubio is a puppet of Sheldon Adelson. He says I won’t take from the international bankers and globalists like Hillary Clinton. It’s going to be only America First. Paul Singer doesn’t vote for Trump; he backs the Steele dossier, which is the Trump golden showers conspiracy from Russia. Ben Shapiro is a Never Trumper. He and National Review and all the conservatives condemn Trump. Bill Kristol, son of Irving Kristol, raises up a candidate from the CIA, Evan McMullin, and they run him as a spoiler in Utah. Sohrab votes for Hillary Clinton out of disgust for Trump because he’s odious and against the norms. Trump wins, and now they realize the GOP establishment consensus is in shambles.”

🚨🐸Nick Fuentes explains that Groypers advocate for nationalism, oppose Israeli interference, and disavow both legal and illegal immigration, but a subversion network is colluding to shape a post-Trump era defined by a colorblind meritocracy and Israeli occupation‼️ “After Trump cast doubt on the Iraq War wnd Israeli donors how do we intellectualize the new right after Trump destroyed the old one? It starts with Claremont. Claremont is funded by Straussians who are Zionists and Thiel, who is with Claremont, the CIA, backs Trump, and puts his people in the National Security apparatus. Darren Beattie, Mike Benz, and Anton. Claremont is funded by Singer, supports BAP, and backs all these people you see on the right. Like IM 1776 and other projects. We start to say the real vision of Trumpism is not colorblind meritocracy or multi-racial working-class populism. Not any of these other things that stress an open society. We said actually the true vision of Trump is nationalism, which must necessarily oppose the Israel lobby and foreign wars, free trade, and both legal and illegal immigration. We get censored on Twitter because Paul Singer’s Elliott Management is an activist investor in Twitter.” “Who is the heir apparent who gets to shape the post-Trump intellectual framework of the conservative movement after he leaves office? It’s JD Vance, who was at NatCon funded by Thiel, hosted by Hazony, attended by Yarvin and Ahmari. Vance spoke at the Quincy Institute, funded by the Open Society Foundation, Thiel and other donors. JD Vance receives all his money from Thiel. JD Vance has a personal relationship with Sohrab Ahmari , who worked for the New York Post, was a neocon, a former communist, and is now getting backing from the Open Society Foundation, Thiel, and Klingenstein. What Vance is promulgating, alongside Rufo and Ahmari, and BAP, and James Lindsay, is what they’re calling colorblind meritocracy. It’s not pro-white; it’s basically pro-Israel. They say that is going to be the intellectual successor, the intellectual heir to Trumpism. It is about recapitulating and redefining Trumpism. Vance is the VP, Trump is surrounded by Lubavitchers, Claremont shills, Thiel’s people, and Kushner’s people. They’ve recapitulated MAGA to mean colorblind meritocracy, individualism, a pro-Israel spin on America First. An occupation by Jewish billionaires with an allegiance to Israel. It’s Paul Singer, the pro-Israel Jew who backed George Bush in ’04, went against Trump, and funded the Steele dossier but now funds the Manhattan Institute, which took down Claudine Gay, and the Claremont Institute, which is creating your colorblind meritocracy consensus for the post-Trump right.” “Peter Thiel. Half his net worth in Alex Karp run Palantir, who gave Vance 15 million which made him a senator. You’ve got Tom Klingenstein, who backs Claremont and Compact, and Alex Soros, who backs Open Society, open borders, BLM, prosecutors, and Compact magazine. You’ve got Murdoch, who owns News Corp and Fox News, and supports Netanyahu’s PM campaign. Ackman used the plagiarism scandal to take down Claudine Gay because we can’t have free speech on an American university; it might convince Americans to stop sending guns to Israel to blow up Iran and Hamas. Michael Anton, who wrote Flight 93, Harry Jaffa’s mentor, Leo Strauss’ his mentor, and Thiel, and Yarvin, and René Girard, from whom they take their philosophy, which has a convenient interpretation for Jews. Rufo, Ahmari, Cofnas, IM 1776, and everybody affiliated with Claremont. The whole thing came undone, and we found out. Soros and Klingenstein and Thiel and Singer are all backing the same people. Even though they’re against or for authoritarianism, they all agree: open society, individualism, no anti-Semitism, no true free speech, gatekeepers on the right and left, no criticism of Israel. Vance the successor to steer the base back into neoconservatism, back into their colorblind, Jewish-blind meritocracy.”

A clip of Nick exposing how Rufo purposely didn’t mention the Israeli operatives working at the Manhattan Institute.
@OnlyMobKing - 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐛 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠
Nick Fuentes (@NickJFuentes) discusses Chris Rufo (@realchrisrufo) at the Manhattan Policy Institute, purposefully omitting the Israeli operatives working for him. “The Manhattan Institute is one of the major think tanks on the right, and Chris Rufo has been one of the major public intellectuals on the right over the past two or three years. Chris Rufo has a mixed marriage. Chris Rufo ran for city council as a Democrat, supporting gay rights, trans rights. So he’s a liberal in a mixed marriage, which is a pretty cosmopolitan liberal phenomenon. Now he’s omitting the involvement of these Israelis working under him as he defends them from their conflict of interest in supporting Israel.” “So he defends Leor Sapir, who is at the Manhattan Institute. We’ll skip over the part where he was born in Israel, served in the Israeli military, studied in Israel. Let’s just skip to the part where he came to America to infiltrate. Ilya Shapiro, in addition to working for the Manhattan Institute, also works for the Jewish Policy Center, where he’s a writer. Let’s read the mission statement of the Jewish Policy Center: it says the Jewish Policy Center provides timely perspectives and analysis of foreign and domestic policies by leading scholars, academics, and commentators. The JPC passionately supports a strong American defense capability, U.S.-Israel security cooperation, and missile defense. We support Israel in its quest for legitimacy and security.” “Immigrant Jew who was born in the Soviet Union and came to America. He also writes articles for the JPC and the Manhattan Institute about how anti-Semites should be banned from universities and how universities should disband pro-Palestine groups. This is your Manhattan Institute: a progressive liberal in a mixed marriage omitting key details about two of their Jewish contributors, one of whom was born in Israel, served in the IDF, and studied at a Jewish university; another of whom was born outside of America in the Soviet Union and works for another think tank explicitly promoting Israel’s interests. You’re born in the Soviet Union or born in Israel and then come here to support Israel’s national security interests at a think tank funded by Paul Singer.”

Nick breaks down an interesting connection between Bronze Age Pervert and Bari Weiss.
@OnlyMobKing - 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐛 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠
Nick Fuentes (@NickJFuentes) explains the connection between the Kristols, Hazony, Thiel, Costin Alamariu, Bari Weiss, and Bret Stephens and how Jews became more right-wing after Oct. 7th. “After October 7th, Claudine Gay was under attack in the media, in Congress, by the alumni network, by various officials, and billionaires in New York City. Ultimately, she was forced to step down and resign, and she was replaced by a Jew named Alan Garber. It was forced by a billionaire, a Harvard alumnus named Bill Ackman, a Zionist Jew who said that after October 7th, he had an epiphany and suddenly became right-wing. Ackman was funding digital billboard trucks to drive around the Harvard campus, doxing a group of left-wing students that wrote a letter in support of Hamas after October 7th. Jews worldwide were made more right-wing after October 7th, and because they run America, America has become more right-wing.” “Bret Stephens was a mentor to Bari Weiss, who is a Jewish Israeli spy. Bari Weiss studied at Columbia University. After she graduated in the mid-2000s, she moved to Israel, where she worked with the IDF and had an internship with Yoram Hazony at his Shalem Center. Hazony now runs NatCon, which is where JD Vance, Ron DeSantis, Josh Hawley, and Peter Thiel speak every year. Yoram Hazony wrote The Virtue of Nationalism, where he argued that Syria is not a real country, just like the Clean Break memo and Oded Yinon’s plan from the ‘80s.” “Hazony got his start at Princeton when Irving Kristol, the godfather of neoconservatism, funded the Princeton Tory, the conservative campus publication that Hazony founded there. Irving Kristol also funded the Stanford Review, which was founded by Peter Thiel at Stanford around the same time. Irving Kristol’s son, Bill Kristol at The Weekly Standard, was the biggest proponent of the Iraq War. They’re like the two big neoconservatives of the first and second generations.” “When Bari Weiss was at Columbia University, she rubbed shoulders with and probably worked with Dr. Costin Alamariu on the David Project, which is a pro-Israel project on campus. They both went to Columbia at the same time. They both wrote articles for the Columbia Spectator in defense of Columbia Unbecoming, a report that documented allegations of anti-Israel bias at Columbia. They were both involved in pro-Israel activism on their campus at the exact same time.”
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
Some reflections on academic hoaxes. 🧵 It's been about seven and a half years since "The Conceptual Penis as a Social Construct" was published by Cogent Social Sciences, officially making @peterboghossian and me "academic hoaxers." I've thought a lot about the genre since.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
Just by way of storytelling, after the "Conceptual Penis" was published, we were vigorously denounced by the Left, by friends and colleagues, including many surprises, not least for claiming we had showed more than we actually had. Much of that criticism was fair, but not all.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
The OG "academic hoax" writer, Alan Sokal himself, eventually weighed in, determining that we had showed something but much less than we hoped to have showed. Our aim was to show severe ideological corruption in the domain of academic feminism and gender studies, fwiw.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
Sokal, who is a brilliantly thoughtful man, came down on whether we had demonstrated our claim of ideological corruption (which we now know Peter and I were absolutely right about) with a crushing, "Yes and no, but mostly no." He was thoughtful, clear, and fair throughout.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
The internet, ofc, went wild, and many people were perfectly content to believe we had showed at least as much as we claimed if not more, but Sokal and at least one other Leftist lunatic criticized us with instructions for what it would take to put real legs under our claims.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
Sokal (and, for far less good reasons, the other guy) were right, though. Our hoax had not succeeded in showing what we had hoped or what Sokal's 1995/6 hoax had showed, and the reason was that the journal was simply too questionable in quality to make such a determination.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
The instructions we were provided indicated that more hoaxes in higher quality journals would be necessary to prove the point, and thus was born the Grievance Studies Affair (FTR: the only funded endeavor I've ever undertaken). We'd do it again, bigger, better, and more certain.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
About a year and a half later, on October 2, 2018, we announced to the world by way of the Wall Street Journal and our own write-ups and videos, that we had penetrated Leftist academia with no fewer than seven publications, some noteworthy, with more under the review process.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
The very online world was set ablaze, and the shot was heard throughout academe, if not further. We were front page of the NYT on 10/5, on Joe Rogan's show talking about it within about a month, and rapidly claimed to notoriety for having exposed Leftist academic corruption.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
The Leftist academics didn't agree. They merely said we took advantage of their high-trust system and had bad motivations. They scrambled to say we may have said a little about a few journals in a few fields but nothing more about peer review, activist disciplines, etc.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
This raises the question at the heart of this thread, which I've been chewing on for at least seven and a half years now. What does an academic hoax actually show? And how does it show it? That's the question at the heart of the disparate responses to both hoaxes.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
The fact is, I've never really had a good answer to this question until recently, and I got that answer from @SovMichael, as we discussed the subject just a few days ago, for whatever pertinent reasons I won't bring up just now. He said what I (and @peterboghossian) always knew.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
Peter, Helen, and I didn't hoax those journals. Alan Sokal didn't hoax Social Text. I mean, we did, but we didn't. Those journals are producing fraudulent materials. They're the ones perpetrating a hoax, and that hoax is on their audience, which is misled to believe it's research
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
The academic journals we "hoaxed" are hoaxing their audience. The papers we submitted (and that Alan submitted previously) are hardly more than a mirror submitted to their process so that it might be made to reflect what's really going on inside, behind the hoaxer's curtain.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
What the academic hoax shows is the true ideological leaning of those who fall for the bait and who publish the mirror. How it does it is by reflecting the ideological fraud (and commitment) already actively underway in an unmistakable way.
@ConceptualJames - James Lindsay, anti-Communist
So, did we hoax those journals? Did Alan Sokal hoax Social Text? Yes and no, but mostly no. We certainly fed them an ideological mirror, but they alone chose to certify, endorse, and publish it. The academic hoax reveals a bigger hoax more than it hoaxes anything in itself.

And speaking of Eyal Yakoby, turns out he’s one of those same fucking ISRAELI SPY operatives I JUST mentioned earlier. Seems he’s involved with those SAME CAMPUS PROTESTS, and the subsequent ‘PrOtEcT uS pOoR lItTlE jEwS, wE dInDu NuFfIn!’ HEARINGS that followed, which were used to REMOVE WHITE AMERICANS from UNIVERSITY EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP and TRUSTEES BOARDS, and install Israeli spies (like him) and their colleagues to lead schools like UPENN… where this fa***t graduated from. Looks like he’s up to his usual shtick today with Columbia University too. As a White American, I think his being an Israeli spy and engaging in espionage against Americans on American soil gives us as citizens the right to treat him as an “enemy foreign and domestic” and just shoot him. Would love to get your thoughts, @EYakoby.🫡

Those protests were then used to justify the ILLEGAL, TREASONOUS SPYING on American college campuses/students by ICC, Shirion Collective, Canary Mission, IAC, MOSSAD and the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs. What’s more, they even used facial recognition software to identify and doxx students/faculty/staff, and then threatened to destroy their future career opportunities and earnings potentials. THEN, they used that same pretext to hold some bullshit ‘predetermined outcome kangaroo hearings’ and justify replacing University Executive Leadership & Trustees with criminally-liable Jews and their co-conspirators, all under the guise of ‘we MUST PROTECT Jews!’ and ‘make Jews FEEL SAFE on campuses!’ *Now, considering ALL those facts above, it’s probably not great for them that I just found these… 👺ONE CAMPUS: “ONE Campus creates change by MOBILIZING COLLEGE STUDENTS across the country.

NEW: Brown University 'DOGE' student shares his side of the story with Pirate Wires At Brown University, there's roughly one non-faculty administrator for every two undergrads. Tuition, living expenses, and fees now amount to $93,064 a year. The school runs a $46 million annual budget deficit, and professors constantly complain they’re underpaid. Trying to make sense of this situation, Brown sophomore @alexkshieh emailed all 3,800+ administrators, asking a simple question: "What do you do all day?" Among the few responses he did get, one person replied "fuck you," and another told him to “stick an entire cactus up [his] ass.” Now, Shieh says Brown is investigating him for “emotional/psychological harm,” among other things. Today on PW, Alex tells his side of the story — and describes the aftermath. Link is threaded 👇

Did you know that Harvard lowered their admission standards significantly recently? Did you know that 95% of the faculty is hard left? Did you know that they receive enormous amounts of cash from foreign governments like Qatar and don’t disclose all of it? Did you know that over the weekend the Harvard law school students got together and spent all weekend trying to collectively overwhelm Wikipedia in order to punish law firms that told Harvard they would stop taking in candidates due to their discriminatory behaviors? Did you know that they no longer even have the same traditional math class that students were required to pass before? Now did you know that most of the judges on the bench are coming from these elite DEI indoctrination factories identifying as law schools? And that we were subsidizing it with our tax dollars? Maybe that’s why President Trump is going so hard after these failed institutions that we pay for which go out and try to destroy the country.

.@JTLonsdale is right about ideological capture in universities. Our report “State of the State Schools” shows DEI bureaucracies, radical grantmaking, and foreign influence thriving at public universities far beyond Harvard and Yale.
