Mills & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis - Don Dresden - 11-25-2008
A couple of interesting articles found looking up other things:
Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis
This article doesn't specifically deal with alleged "diploma mills," but it does articulate the strategy employed by destructive radical leftist organizations in the US.
Quote:To achieve their revolutionary change, Cloward and Piven sought to use a cadre of aggressive organizers assisted by friendly news media to force a re-distribution of the nation's wealth.
Sound like anyone we have seen in action? Where do we see "aggressive organizers," or as someone once more eloquently described them, "swarming assholes"? Who makes use of the news media to attack Christian schools under the guise of a diploma mill crisis? (e.g., Bear Shafts Christian College)
When you hear the clones preaching about a "crisis" in education because of alleged diploma mills, or anything else for that matter, understand that creating a false "crisis" is but step one in their strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis.
From the same website is another article, Mein Kampus, which discusses a theme posted here previously.
Quote:The creeping Leftist totalitarianism in academia is so ubiquitous and so mundane that when it appears in a discipline not thought to be overflowing with nutty Leftists, like Criminal Justice, we yawn. W[hen] students are told to do a "research paper" which explicitly directs them to sources that they must use and sources that they must not use, we shrug in indifferent despair.
Our colleges have adopted the same attitude toward intellectual inquiry and scholarly objectivity that colleges in the Soviet Union and in Nazi Germany. The Communist Party in the Soviet Union demanded, for example, that biologists use the fantastically silly theories of Lysenko, and those who did not ended up in the Gulag. The Nazi Party insisted that colleges use Nazi racial theories in every area of study, and with very few exceptions, the professors of Germany nodded in agreement.
Is Mein Kampus a more descriptive term for many colleges in America today? Once politically correct thinking was limited to those disciplines which deal directly with politics. Today biologists must have politically correct views on Darwinism, geologists must have politically correct views on global warming, and criminal justice professors must have politically correct views on President Bush.
Do I need to add certain physics professors as well?
