Going to be interesting when graduation ceremony time comes around in a few short weeks. Are they going to kick these people out so they can hold the ceremony, or let them ruin it for all those who worked hard to get a useful degree.

They'll probably try to interrupt graduation ceremonies for attention. :mad:

I feel sorry for the groundskeepers at these schools. They work hard trying to keep things nice and now years worth of work and maintenance is screwed up with these protests and occupations.

A few days ago, to little fanfare, organizers from the Yale and Columbia's "Liberated Encampment Zones" published this guide containing 14 points that explains the protestors' strategy in the weeks and months to come.

The guide was endorsed by the National Students for Justice in Palestine (it could have easily been written by SJP members, by the way).

It's currently being circulated among many of the encampments and is being translated into multiple languages.

Everyone who wants to understand how potential widespread anarchy in the US might look should read it. Here are some of the most important points:

Point 2:

"An occupation needs to spread in order to survive. New buildings need to be taken on campus, throughout the city, and across the country. Take the enemy by surprise. Strive for daily or even hourly successes, however small. At all costs, retain superior morale."

Point 6:

"Occupations draw strength from the specter of a riot. The April 1968 occupations took place in the immediate aftermath of the 'Holy Week' of riots in the surrounding neighborhood and cities across the country after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. Campus administrators, city officials, and the police department worried that any attempt to suppress the occupations might lead to unrest in the surrounding neighborhood; Harlem might invade Columbia. An occupation today will be in a stronger position if it is similarly able to build and mobilize support from the surrounding neighborhood."

Point 7:

"The first task then is to open the campus to the community. Students from other campuses, residents of the surrounding neighborhood, and outside agitators need to be welcomed in. In April 1968, five hundred people marched on the gate at 116th St and Broadway. The NYPD stood down out of fear that violence might otherwise erupt. Similar tactics might be necessary today."

Point 9:

"Form committees. Once you seize a building, get organized around practical tasks. In 1968, a defense committee built barricades and coordinated the night watch. A liaison committee established communication between occupations and with the outside world."

Point 11:

"This is only the beginning. A number of revolutionary organizations emerged from the 1968 occupations movement. Pushing the university struggle to its limit might contribute in a similar way to producing a constellation of revolutionary forces in the city today."

Point 12:

"Two, three, many Columbias. Then as now, it will take the opening of new fronts and the spread of increasingly disruptive tactics, such as building occupations, to pull the emergency brake on the war machine."

POINT 16:

POINT 17:

I saw a video yesterday of Bidumb sitting at his desk signing something and he and a half dozen people around him and all were wearing covid type masks.... just like most of these protestors. It immediately made me think that the idiots at the top are trying to suddenly justify the protestors wearing the masks. It's all so scripted.

This is unpopular opinion but there are a lot of ironies about these protests.

1. People who organized or help to organized them were paid by nonprofit orgs funded by Soros who is a Jewish man

2. Same liberals who organized these protests are the same people who were were responsible for 2020 BLM protests

3. 99.9% of the protesters are liberals who don’t even know what and why they are protesting just like 2020

#BREAKING: A Fox 7 News photojournalist has been thrown to the ground and arrested by police while covering a live broadcast during the protest at the University of Texas

#Austin | #Texas

Amidst the chaotic scenes that was unfolding earlier this evening at the University of Texas, where hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters clashed with police, a Fox 7 Austin News photojournalist who was covering a developing story live on broadcast from the state university campus was thrown to the ground and arrested by law enforcement in riot gear. Officers allege his camera struck an officer, though the photojournalist claims it was unintentional as crowds of protesters were pushing.

UPDATE: According to reports, as troopers moved the line back, the Fox 7 Austin News photojournalist, who was covering a developing story, was reportedly pushed by a trooper into another trooper. Subsequently, he was caught in the middle of it and then thrown to the ground and arrested

This is the Muslim Brotherhood's Plan to Destroy America, do not take this warning lightly!

These pro-Hamas protestors’ sole agenda is to eradicate every western value and every basic human right while establishing an Islamic Sharia law regime.
They are starting with the Jews in Israel as their main objective, and will continue with the entire west.
It is not a fight of Israel against Hamas - the fight is between a culture of life and a culture of death.

IMO, we have colleges who are beholden to the establishment for funding and access to resources (student loans.) We have professors who are far left, liberal and paid for by the establishment, doing what their college tells them. We have a bunch of children who don't know how to think for themselves, being told by professors what is wrong with the world and if you want extra credit for class show up at this address and hold this sign. Once there, the excitement and mob mentality takes over.

I suspect most of these protesters are not students. USC, Harvard, Columbia, NYU and most universities on the semester system, the spring semester ends at the begining of May. For most students, at this time, they're preparing for final exams and finishing courses required to graduate or advance to the next semester. Such BS! I live in a college town. All is quiet at the moment.

That sounds like almost all "patriots" that I've met, when asked whether they've ever read the Constitution, let alone studied it. Since no one I've ever met has ever said that they've studied it, I don't even bother bringing up the Federalist Papers as a study guide.

There's very little difference between the left and the right, when it comes to wanting to be part of something. They both go about it half-assed.

And, I'm that which is between them.

I guess we don’t have to imagine…since we’re all footing the bill for most of these stank hippies’ so called education -

And, with the tuition forgiveness, I’d kind of like to have a say in the curriculum from now on…

Yeah, I don’t think that’ll happen.

This is what that warning poster image that was posted online after 911 said. Learn their ways and take over their government. Infiltrate and destroy from within, with a map of America and the oil pipeline infrastructure overlayed. Jews first, Christians will be next. After 911 while researching the message board where Mohamad Atta posted, I think he was the terrorist leader, said 911 is a message to god a day before it happened with a typed art image of a building with plane. It was on a stock board for the company he worked at. Stock symbol was WWWW. This has been in the works for a long time.

No protests yet at USF but i forsee some idiots trying it.

Trouble following USF divestment debate updates? Here’s what to know.

Since last fall, a group of USF students have been calling for the university to divest. With months of protests and news, here’s a breakdown of the divestment movement. Related: USF student leaders narrowly pass divestment measure On Oct. 7, a designated terrorist group, known as Hamas, launc

The Oracle is USF’s paper. Only it is all digital these days.

The student senate barely passed the divestment resolution with zero understanding of how universities invest.

None of those idiots would be able to attend without these investments. USF is a relatively inexpensive uni.

POINT 18:
FIRE ALL PROFESSORS SUPPORTING THIS. --- They could only fire the ones that don't have tenure.

I'd like to add the following to your list:
A) Suspend students participating in the protests that get arrested or fail to disperse when ordered to by the university or authorities. Suspend them for at least one semester (and not refund their payments or credit them for any academic classes taken during the latest semester).

B) Expel foreign students who get arrested, fail to disperse, or commit any vandalism, damage or threaten other students in any way and revoke their student visas.

I graduated from high school in 1972 and had plenty of time to observe what had happened from 1968. There were plenty of arrests in those days. People who came from money got good lawyers and got off with no problems.

But if your family didn't have that kind of money, it was jail time for you. Not all of these students come from money and they are about to get a very hard lesson in life.

Another problem: most campus security, in my experience, is generally worthless. A lot are going to say: "I don't get paid enough to confront protestors," and "I feel the flu coming on. Going to miss work for a few days!"

And, yes, part of the problem will be the imported provocateurs. That's what was happening at the riots in Des Moines and Ames. As I recall, the BLM leaders were from Chicago and such.

We'll see what happens, but I suspect that if they try that here, this close to finals, Gov'nor Kimmy will make phone calls to the campus presidents, and if the problem isn't quickly nipped in the bud, she will probably send in the Nat'l Guard. Why? 1) some of her biggest financial supporters have Little Darlings attending U of I (etc) and 2) some of her pet educational programs (nursing is one) might be interrupted, and that won't be allowed.

I could be wrong. But my sense is that a lot of people were fed up with the riots and don't want any repeats of that behavior.

Lawmakers Ask IRS To Investigate Chinese Funding Of Anti-Israel Protests​



BY TYLER DURDEN
THURSDAY, APR 25, 2024 - 04:45 PM
Authored by Eric Lundrum via American Greatness,
On Wednesday, lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives called for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to begin investigating the financial links between China and anti-Israel groups that have been protesting throughout the United States since October 7th.


According to the Washington Free Beacon, the request comes from members of the House Ways and Means Committee, who wrote a letter expressing concerns that “foreign adversaries are taking advantage of loopholes to impact American political activity with little-to-no transparency.”

One such example is The People’s Forum, a group that organized anti-Israel protests such as public school walkouts in New York City.

The group is bankrolled by Neville Roy Singham, a tech mogul with pro-China sympathies, as documented by the New York Times.

The People’s Forum urged students to chant anti-Semitic phrases, including “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which calls for the extermination of all Israelis.

Another example is The Energy Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit group that focuses primarily on global warming, yet operates mostly out of China and has deep ties to the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

This organization has repeatedly advocated for “green” energy policies that would hurt the United States’ energy production, to the benefit of China.

“Not only do these activities raise serious national security concerns, but they also raise questions about whether organizations like this receive foreign funding from America’s adversaries and whether the Internal Revenue Service (‘IRS’) is conducting oversight of entities like these,” said the letter sent by lawmakers to IRS commissioner Daniel Werfel.

The committee members asked if the IRS has “a definition of antisemitism in place within the agency that it considers when evaluating the claimed exempt purpose of a tax-exempt organization,” for the purposes of cracking down on such radical groups. The letter also asked if the IRS would eventually start an investigation into the various financial links between China and various domestic groups.

BREAKING: University of Southern California (USC) is cancelling their graduation ceremony at Alumni Park which typically has over 60,000 people in attendance.

The cancellation, which was due to "security threats" came just one week after valedictorian Asna Tabassum was told she would not be delivering the traditional speech.

Tabassum was reportedly opposed by pro-Israel groups. (LA Times)

"We understand that this is disappointing," the school said.

The announcement comes after pro-Palestine protests at the school got violent this week with police.

On April 15, USC Provost Andrew T. Guzman sent out an email, saying the school was facing threats.

Guzman said attacks were of an "alarming tenor" and "escalated to the point of creating substantial risks relating to security and disruption at commencement."
