College Campus or Reeducation Camp?

Indoctrinate U.

Abraham Miller's review of this important documentary film.

Evan Maloney's "Indoctrination U" is the film college parents will need to avoid at all costs. Not that Maloney's characterization of the campus as an Orwellian reeducation camp is inaccurate. Nor are the praises for Maloney as a documentary filmmaker exaggerated. Quite to the contrary, Maloney might well be, as critics claim, America's best, young, documentary filmmaker, and "Indoctrination U" just might be the most important documentary of the year.

But, after shelling out what can only be characterized as an obscene amount of money to send a child to college, can parents really come to grips with the reality of what their money is buying?

For nearly four decades, I was a college professor, an identity I whisper about behind closed doors. Today, as a parent of one college student and two about to be sent to reeducation camp, I'd like nothing more than to go through some reprogramming myself so that I can avoid the dissonance wrought by too much information.

Read the rest here.

Brainwashing American Students

By Julia Duin, World Peace Herald.

In the summer of 2007, Harvard appointed an Islamic history professor to head its Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Islamic Studies Program. Harvard is hiring the first of four endowed chairs in the program and is using some of the $20 million donated by a Saudi prince.

Georgetown University received a similar donation—funneling $20 million toward its Center for Muslim Christian Understanding, after its benefactor.

The center, part of the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, trains many of America’s diplomats.

Winfield Meyers, director of Campus Watch said: “The prince new very well Georgetown’s in a milieu filled with lobbyists and opinion makers; thus any program of his will exert more influence there than at a university not in a power center like Washington.”

According to one Saudi press organization, the grants are meant to promote understanding and change America’s perceptions of Islam in the most fertile place, the university campus. The practice started around 1976, when the Saudi government established a King Faisal Chair in Islamic Studies for $1 million at the University of Southern California. Since then, grants for endowed chairs in Islamic and Middle Eastern studies centers have popped up at several major universities.

In 1998, the Sultan bin Abdulaziz al Saud Foundation gave $5 million to Berkeley’s Arab and Islamic Studies Center, whose post-docs have gone on to important tenure-track academic jobs, including Oxford, DePaul, Fordham, and Harvard universities.

In July 2000, the Harvard Divinity School accepted $2.5 million from the ruler of the United Arab Emirates to endow an academic chair in Islamic Religious Studies. However, Rachel Fish, a divinity student, began a protest, accusing the sheik of funding an anti-Semitic think tank in his capital, Abu Dhabi. Harvard officials said they would reconsider accepting the gift. In 2004, the sheik withdrew the funds.

The Israel on Campus Coalition, a group of Jewish organizations, released a study recently saying out of about 4,000 American institutions of higher learning, only nine have Israel studies centers, nine have Israel studies chairs, and 16 have visitng professors teaching about Israel.
Zuhdi Jasser, a Phoenix physician and a moderate Muslim who is chairman of the American Islamic Forum For Democracy said: “Islamists such as the radical fundamentalists seen with the Saudi Wahhabis exploit American universal tolerance to provide a vehicle for the dissemination of their propaganda free of critique. It is important to emphasize---‘free of critique’…it is the tolerance which permits that. One hopes that we correct our reponse, not by changing our tolerance, but by intensely critiquing political Islam and its incompatibility withour pluralistic democracy.”

Does this bother you? Consider the cost of tuition at a major university or college for 1 year, around $30 or 40,000 isn’t it? What is it they are teaching our kids at these so called institutions of higher learning? Do you know? Do you care?

For that much money you should know. But it isn’t just about the money.

The left has infiltrated nearly every campus in America. Many are teaching professors or are an integral part of college or university administrations and boards.

You expect your children to graduate with a degree that will set them on a path of self determination and hopefully individual success and prosperity, but it is also likely they will come away from their reeducation masters indoctrinated with a philosophy and ideology that is appalling and quite chilling.

Find out what your children are learning, afterall it is likely your hard earned money that is paying for it.

As a side note and just as important I reference “The List of 45” taken from the book “The Naked Communist", written by W. Cleon Skousen. You can find the list clearly detailed here, thanks to my good friend Snooper at A Newt One.

Pay particular attention to items number 16 through 19, and 40 to 42. Chilling isn’t it.
To gain an even better in depth understanding you may want to consider reading the book Naked Communist. If you are unable to find this book at your local library or book store, which is likely, it is still available for purchase online at Amazon.com or Alibris.com .

Myth vs Fact-Part 248

Myth	Fact
Islam: Religion of peace.	Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59, Number 380: Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: When the Prophet set out for (the battle of) Uhud, some of those who had gone out with him, returned. The companions of the Prophet were divided into two groups. One group said, "We will fight them (i.e. the enemy)," and the other group said, "We will not fight them." So there came the Divine Revelation:-- '(O Muslims!) Then what is the matter within you that you are divided. Into two parties about the hypocrites? Allah has cast them back (to disbelief) Because of what they have earned.' (4.88) On that, the Prophet said, "That is Taiba (i.e. the city of Medina) which clears one from one's sins as the fire expels the impurities of silver."

If I Had to Make a Choice...Hillary or Obama?

I hate to say it ladies and gents, but if I had to make a choice between Hillary or Obama, I'd probably choose Hillary. Better the devil you know....

We all know Barack Hussein Obama (don't give me crap about using his middle name--no one bitches about using Hillary RODHAM Clinton, do they now?) likes to talk about "hope" and "change". This week, we started to hear (from his wife) some of the "changes" he wants to make.



But first, of course, we had to hear her spout her hatred of America in her now famous quote, courtesy of the AP on February 20, 2008 here:

In Milwaukee on Monday, Michelle Obama said: "Let me tell you, for the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country. Not just because Barack is doing well, but I think people are hungry for change."

Of course, from the same source, we have Barack himself trying to backpedal and tell us what she REALLY "meant" (what IS the definition of "IS" again?):

Barack Obama, interviewed on WOAI radio in San Antonio, Texas, expressed frustration that his wife's comments became political fodder.

"Statements like this are made and people try to take it out of context and make a great big deal out of it, and that isn't at all what she meant," Obama said.

"What she meant was, this is the first time that she's been proud of the politics of America," he said. "Because she's pretty cynical about the political process, and with good reason, and she's not alone. But she has seen large numbers of people get involved in the process, and she's encouraged."

She's only "proud" now because she sees herself as the black version of Jackie Kennedy (a woman of far greater stature and class) when in fact she is nothing more than the black version of Hillary Clinton. That statement has nothing to do with color per se--it has everything to do with entitlement mentality and trailer trash actions.

Don't give me the racism crap--facts is facts. Another particular fact is both she and her husband have played the racism card for all it's worth, but we're not supposed to notice that.

A woman who ostensibly is eying the White House as her next address had damned well better be proud of this country and all it stands for and had better get over her "lack of pride" in it as well as her entitlement mentality damn quick. This is the internet babe--this isn't (to quote an old commercial) your father's news sources.

But wait--she went another step further a day or two later. We "right" thinking people are often accused of "Orwellian" actions and thoughts. However, any person with a brain knows when you are accused of something, most often the accuser is guilty of the actions he or she is accusing YOU of. Such is the case here, in another quote from Miss "I Can't Stand My Country" Michelle, (from The Campaign Spot at the National Review Online here):

Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.

and:

"You have to stay at the seat at the table of democracy with a man like Barack Obama not just on Tuesday but in a year from now, in four years from now, in eights years from now, you will have to be engaged."

To further quote Jim Geraghty, same source above:

I'm sorry, nowhere in the Constitution does it authorize the President of the United States to demand anyone shed their cynicism. And I'm all for people pushing themselves to be better, but I don't think the President demanding it is the way to go about it.

And what if we kind of like our lives as usual? What about Americans' freedom to be uninvolved and uninformed?

and:

Ah. Apparently apathy will be criminalized, then?

Does anybody on the left side of the aisle find this rhetoric a little creepy? Isn't this describing an authoritarian presidency way beyond anything George W. Bush has done or proposed?

Do the powers of the presidency really encompass everything Michelle says Obama wants and plans to do? Based on this rhetoric, isn't he actually running for
messiah?

Who is truly "Orwellian"? Here's a hint--it's not the Republicans.

Let's look at the "faith" issue.



The MSM made mincemeat out of Romney's mormonism. Well, while I am uncomfortable with a lot of the tenets of mormonism, I would much rather have a mormon, someone with values, in the White House than a closet muslim AND a man who practices his particular brand of Christianity in a church based on racism against whites. In fact, a leading member happens to be Louis Farrakhan. The church believes in AFRICA first--NOT America. He and his family's membership in this church is immediately suspect BECAUSE of that allegiance. He's running for the AMERICAN presidency--not Africa's. He's running in a country PREDOMINANTLY white. So, he and his wife are going to throw all the whites under the bus? No, they haven't come out and said so--however, it does leave one wondering. WHERE does his allegiance lie? The church--Trinity United Church of Christ--can be found here.

This doesn't address his muslim ties, either. He can proclaim all he wants he isn't muslim. I don't buy it and I don't believe it. He has strong familial ties to the current upheaval in Kenya through his cousin Odinga. His father is tied to the upheaval as well. The issue plain is not settled nor has it been investigated properly.

I WILL make one clarification for the ignoramuses out there--there are many who continue to state Obama is the one who wouldn't swear into office on a Bible but chose to do so on the koran. This is false--it was Keith Ellison who insisted upon swearing into office on the koran. So those who think Obama exercised this inanity, get it right--it was Ellison.

Yeah, I went there.

So far, we have an America hating woman who has decided to be the black version of "Trailer Trash Hillary" although she would like to be "Camelot Jackie". And she hates America so much she has decided to engage in full "Orwell" speak, hoping there are enough out there she can snow, by apparently mandating thought control during her husband's messianic campaign and presidency. We have a man who refuses to be honest about his and his family's muslim ties and who the MSM has chosen to ignore faithwise because it's not "politically correct" to question either those ties or his connection to a racist church but it was fair game to go after a white mormon.

But wait Dick and Jane, there's more!

Now, we see a report of part of a speech made by Obama in which he quotes an alleged Army Captain (as if he spoke with this source himself--it turns out it was third hand information) who only wishes to speak on conditions of anonymity:

[...] You know, I've heard from an Army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon - supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon. Ended up being sent to Afghanistan with 24 because 15 of those soldiers had been sent to Iraq.

And as a consequence, they didn't have enough ammunition, they didn't have enough humvees. They were actually capturing Taliban weapons, because it was easier to get Taliban weapons than it was for them to get properly equipped by our current commander in chief.

Now, that's a consequence of bad judgment. And you know, the question is, on the critical issues that we face right now, who's going to show the judgment to lead? [...]

This quote comes from several sources, but I found it at A Newt One here. Granted, troops in theater often have to do without needed items--that's been a fact in every war this country has ever fought and is not exclusive to the Bush administration. Further, I don't think there has ever been an administration which has had to tolerate as much treason as this administration has had to tolerate. Obama speaks as if it's once again "all Bush's fault" when he seems to forget how much funding he and his fellow traitors refused the troops for necessary items. He definitely seems to forget he and his fellow traitors have done all they can to tie the hands of the president and imperil the troops. How convenient for him to forget.

Moving right along, let's look at some of Obama's friends and associates.

Jay at Stop the ACLU! has an excellent post here in which he describes Obama's associates--radical, liberal and revolutionary associates. These associates were members--along with Obama--of the Weather Underground. A quote from Jay's article:

Ayers and Dorhn are extremist radicals from the 1960's anti-war terrorist group the Weather Underground, and they are unrepentant in the bombings they were a part of. They disappeared in 1970 after a bomb designed to kill army officers in New Jersey accidentally destroyed a Greenwich Village townhouse. They turned themselves over to authorities in 1980. While the Weather Underground claimed 25 bombings, these characters were never prosecuted.


Charges were dropped due to improper FBI surveillance.

Go read the full article.

Ladies and gentlemen, there are too many alarming things coming to light regarding this man and his wife. He truly is NOT what we need leading this country and I truly believe he would be much worse than Hillary. And I can't stand Hillary.

The question is, when is the left going to wake up? When are they going to start educating themselves into the reality of their anointed messiah? This man and his wife are dangerous. If anything, they're closer to prison cells than they should be to the White House.

He would endanger our country by refusing to acknowledge the enemy we face. He wants total control of your life and your thoughts. He has a rather shady past, a past which has (one way or another) formed his sympathy towards terrorists and extremists (the home grown kind). His wife hates America. He stands for racism of the worst sort.

Truly--wake up America. Come out of the drug induced haze and stupor and see where your idiocy is taking you. Oh, and my choice is NEITHER Hillary nor Obama--I'm voting a REAL American--John McCain.

Obama--muslim Style

I'll be doing a catch-up linkfest for Jay at Stop the ACLU! in a bit, but this just came through. For all those who like to say Obama has no muslim ties and it's all propaganda, here's the post and picture from Stop the ACLU!




Via Freerepublic and the National Examiner. Yes, it came from a tabloid, but it isn't photoshop. The photo was taken from a 2006 trip to Kenya to visit his cousin Odinga. Very Presidential outfit, doncha think?

Hat tip: Sweetness and Light

So he has no muslim ties or sympathies, eh?

Catch the Wave at Memeorandum!
