Back in November when university dons (a lot of them donnes) were roused from their DEI daydreams by student protests against Israel’s response to Oct 7, B Weiss wrote a piece on “undisclosed” billions (!) these unis received from foreign donors…and the winner is: Quatar, with close to $3billion!!! That buys a lot of humanities professors lunch, if not tenure!!! Very revealing.

Foreign funding simply buying anti-semitism at colleges? I'd want to see more than she offers. OTOH, Max Blumenthal has something to say about Harvard's funding--everyone knows that plagiarism isn't the big story there. And John Mearsheimer can talk to you all day about the Israel Lobby owning DC. Also MB and Judge Nap and ...

Foreign funding is hardly the whole story. Domestic funding ...

Yes, Blumenthal was sizzling. I agree Weiss doesn’t push it far enough.

Yeah, I would suggest that Weiss' piece is a bit of misdirection, supported by those she quotes. They're the establishment that MB refers to.

The axis of evil runs through neocon hearts… but from where? Who’s pushing these neocons? That’s the source.

Taiwanese party relations to U.S. parties is strange. My gut feeling is dark money related. Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan surprised me.

The majority of Taiwanese just want the status quo, and don’t want to be another Hong Kong, while not upsetting China which is seen as a bully.

Never heard of Qatar before yr 2000. Then I’m made aware of major construction project that yr. Then all hell breaks loose the following yr. I’ve been suspicious of official narratives ever since.
