The Boston Globe, Michele Wu (Boston’s mayor), Ibram X Kendi, and others cite racism in the forced resignation of Claudine Gay. This is a patent lie. Claudine Gay was put in her position by the Harvard Corporation headed by Penny Pritzker, who was an early financial supporter of Obama for his presidential campaign back in 2008.
That campaign was successful in harnessing the attention of 17-25 year olds using social media which became a weapon to use to keep them engaged using certain narratives. The University of New Hampshire received millions of dollars to help shape those narratives and to make them seem realistic. It was chosen as the location to introduce the “Dear Colleague” letter signed by Russlynn Ali of the Department of Education Office of Civil Rights.
Emails obtained by KC Johnson show very clearly that Russlynn Ali’s goal was to “change America forever” and to get rid of due process – a civil right. Those emails discuss Notre Dame, Stanford, and Yale Universities – all private campuses. Russlynn Ali left DoE OCR in 2012 to work with Laurene Powell Jobs at XQ Institute which touts “DEI” and “Reimagining Education.”
Administrations were convinced they had to hire Title IX coordinators who’d been accredited by Brett Sokolow’s ATIXA, which he registered on April 1, 2011 – just days before the April 4 launch. The University of New Hampshire Prevention Innovation Research Center became a strategic partner with the White House, targeting private campuses for its purpose—St. Paul’s School in New Hampshire, in particular. The NHCADSV was involved as its partner, and so were Congresswoman Ann Kuster and Senator Jeanne Shaheen. They could raise millions under federal grants if they promoted this narrative, which, in turn, they could use to help the 2016 elections.

The White House hired interns from Harvard, Tufts, the University of Maryland, and elsewhere for “Civic Engagement.” These worked with narratives, social media, and # engagement, getting awards for social entrepreneurship. The White House worked with Political PR companies as well. (SKDK, Precision Strategies, Blue Crab Strategies, and Hill Impact in particular). This was always about recruiting young people on campus for political agendas to get federal money from the Government and to extort private educational institutions.
First, it was the Campus Survivor Movement with a full recruitment scheme going on with SurvJustice, It’s On Us, End Rape on Campus, Know Your IX, PAVE, and NHCADSV. Then BLM, MeToo, and Times Up were added. And lastly, DEI. Not one of these holds up to scrutiny. Behind every single one is a profiteering racket. They are businesses that figured out that they could get grants, hire PR, hire ambassadors, train recruits, and use them to increase their businesses and grow them further, all without paying any taxes because they were “non-profits.”
To add fuel to the fire, they worked with journalists and turned them into influencers for the AP, the Boston Globe, the NYT, the Washington Post, New England Newspapers, and Conde Nast publications that would reach the demographic they wanted: the 17-25-year-olds and their parents. They used political donors to fund propaganda documentaries and then gave themselves awards and rewards for their work. They partnered the recruited ambassadors for the cause du jour with major retailers: Target, L’Oreal, Uber, etc.
Who paid for all of this? The public. The taxpayers paid for the federal grants which went to campuses with “non-profit” enterprises. The families coughing up tuition fees that have escalated to accommodate hoards of badly trained, inexperienced administrators. The political donors whose money would find its way into political PR funds being used for the propaganda.
Who benefitted? Not the public. Not the students. It has been, from inception, a money-making extortion racket designed to rob the public purse and private schools, their donors, and their educators.
DEI is a business. It’s a WEF business, in fact – that means it’s a business that benefits the “stakeholders” of large corporations and large law firms. Don’t take it from me. Take it from the WEF site itself.
The Campus Survivor Movement was a business as well. It was also a WEF-tied business – Klaus Schwab’s daughter, Nicole Schwab, started the Gender Equality Project in 2009. She was a Harvard alum. Female students were useful for this cause.
The “rape” narrative would get them engaged. UN Women was fully behind it, out to get the “Harry Potter” generation. They hired SKDK and Emma Watson for the job. #HeForShe was launched in 2014.
So was BLM. SKDK launched the #OscarsSoWhite campaign in 2016.
They were ready to bounce off the success of #ItsOnUs in 2014, which was used for “The Hunting Ground” propaganda documentary, a 2016 Academy Award winner with Lady Gaga singing the theme song on the stage. This was all backed by the White House.
The newspapers and magazines that have promoted this nonsense are mostly if not all, partners of the WEF as well.
So was FTX — exposed to be a complete sham and tied to MIT and Stanford Law School via Sam Bankman-Fried — an MIT graduate — and his parents, Barbara Fried and Joseph Bankman. They were all star-struck with celebrities and fancied a life in offshore Bahamas using other people’s money, which could be funneled into election campaigns via straw donors. Michael Kives of the Obamas’ agency, CAA, and a close friend of the Clintons, was there to facilitate. His wife described his wedding in Palm Springs as a “Michael Kives production” — branding, product placement tie-ins to celebrities and politicians were the name of the game. His wife, Lydia, had attended Stanford Law and spent her summers interning for Obama’s WH legal counsel.
Next time you see someone like Gloria Allred, Sam Bankman-Fried, or Elizabeth Theranos promoted on the front of Forbes or Time Magazine, give some thought to the PR companies behind that promotion and who they are working for.
Penny Pritzker was the Commerce Secretary under Obama. She went to Qatar in 2014. Qatar is a large donor to Harvard. Qatar hired winners of the Pritzker Prize to design museums.
Claudine Gay joined the board of trustees for Phillips Exeter Academy in 2017. She graduated from the prep school in 1988 and went to Princeton before going on to Stanford and then Harvard.
How did she get into Princeton if her work included so much plagiarism? Kendra Stearns O’Donnell was the principal of Phillips Exeter Academy in 1988 when Claudine Gay graduated. Ironically, she, too, was a graduate of Princeton.
After Gay graduated, Kendra Stearns O’Donnell received significant attention (rightly or wrongly) for her handling of a sex scandal involving a teacher and child pornography.
“Exeter officials tried to quell the scandal at the 990-student school, where tuition is $17,050 and dozens of graduates each year go on to Harvard and Yale. Principal Kendra Stearns O’Donnell fired Bateman, ordered him out of his apartment and sent a letter about the case to 25,000 faculty, students, parents and alumni. Stephanie Casale, assistant director of communications, defended firing Bateman before his October trial: “The question … was not whether he was guilty or innocent. It was: could he continue to be an appropriate role model.”
History repeats itself at Phillips Exeter Academy.
Governor Maggie Hassan (now Senator) is married to Tom Hassan, who was principal of Phillips Exeter Academy when it covered up sexual abuse – keeping two sets of records. There was a media blackout as Hassan was running her campaign to become Senator in 2016. Only last year did a math teacher get prosecuted. He was found guilty of sexual abuse during the final years of Tom Hassan’s tenure.
Tom Hassan is also a graduate of Harvard (and Brown). His pay increased after he allowed a teacher to “retire” in 2012. The teacher, Rich Schubert, admitted to sexual abuse of a student and went to work on Maggie’s Senatorial campaign.
There’s always a quid pro quo. And there’s always a secret club with these “elite” schools.
Boston Globe, NYT, and co appear none too happy that the “elite” club where Democrats can go to raise money for political campaigns from wealthy donors has been exposed as the empire with no clothes.
