Huzzah! Enlightenment! And it "Only" Took Ten Years?

By Rich Kozlovich 

Yesterday, April 25, 2024, Bob Parks posted this article, It Took Ten Years For Powerful People To See That Leftism Has Crossed A Red Line, at American Thinker saying

I’ll preface my commentary with the obvious: All of the “mostly peaceful” protests by our “college educated” on campuses nationwide that are clearly pro-Hamas and aimed at Jewish students are wrong, illegal, and all involved should either go back to the classes their parents and taxpayers are funding or be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

He went on to describe the unruly mob activity these leftist misfits have perpetrated, all of which has been tolerated by the rich, famous, powerful, and wealthy, because it's they're right to "free speech"!  So we had to "suck it up"!

But now we're seeing moral outrage because their ox is being gored.   Just like the antisemitic outrage at Harvard and Claudine Gay, triggered a series of events and the discovery of Gay's plagiarism, which based on my experience in life, I believe to be endemic throughout the academic world.

You remember Ackman the Barbarian don't you?  Bill Ackman is a very wealthy man who got upset Harvard was blatantly antisemitic, and he said so.  What happened?  They went after his wife for plagiarism, and that upset him all the more.  

Let's make sure this is clear as a mountain stream. He didn't give two squats about all the corruption and plagiarism going on in academia until his wife was attacked for her plagiarism, of which from all indications, she is apparently guilty...... 

It's revenge for exposing his wife's perfidy. So, I think it's appropriate to ask this. If his wife hadn't been attacked, would he be launching this crusade? And if wouldn't why not, since it seems clear to me he must have already known this corruption was pandemic in academic and scientific circles........

But where was he and all the other prominent, wealthy, Harvard graduated American Jews, and conservatives in general, before this? They were giving money to Harvard, all playing the game, and yet this attitude and mentality didn't exist in a vacuum! It was well known.

So, now some months have gone by, and what has Ackman produced?  Nothing I've seen of any consequence.  The fact is Ackman will do nothing because he's part of the culture, culture is king, and heterodoxy isn't for the faint of heart.  It takes guts and the willingness to suffer the slings and arrows of your peers to stand against the group, and it seems clear to me, that's not him, and when it comes to Democrats, Bill Ackman still doesn’t get it.

Well, I have the same view about the wealthy men mentioned in Parks' article, "Cooperman, Blavatnik, and Kraft, who've donated nearly $100 million in total to Columbia", as I do about Ackman.   Where were all these prominent, wealthy, American Jews, and wealthy conservatives in general who've been throwing away hundreds of million of dollars to these destructive academic fever swamps before this?  

They were all playing the game, all being lauded and praised, and yet this attitude and mentality they're so upset about didn't exist in a vacuum! It was well known.  Academia is a fever swamp of cultural, intellectual, and morally corrupt inbreeding.  They knew this crap was going on for years, and they deliberately ignored it.

These left wing fascist tactics aren't anything new.  They've been used to destroy stable societies in order to attain power forever.  Julius Caesar was a master of it.   All of Caesar's destructive maneuvers were so obviously dangerous to the Roman Republic, and obvious to many of Rome's leaders.   But only a few of Rome's leaders would listen, and fewer yet were unwilling to be rock's in the current standing against the go along to get along crowd.  By the time they realized their folly, it was too late, Caesar was to be dictator for life, which the sycophants in the Roman Senate begged him to become.  Then Caesar was murdered, civil war followed for thirteen years and Rome's republican days were over forever.   

We're seeing this same gutlessness playing out now.  The danger these leftist misfits represent is obvious to many in the nation, and many  have spoken out, but there were very few in powerful positions who were willing to be rocks in the current and stand against the machinations of these vermin.  

The corruption and cowardice they embraced has been mind boggling.  But huzzah!  Strike up the band!  Now they've become enlightened, and have become vertebrates.  

Unfortunately, it may be too late, and truth be told, just like Ackman, I doubt they really get it, and I doubt it will last.    History is everything!  The patterns of life play out over and over again, and culture is king.
