NYPD Ticket Fix Scandal

[From article]
"when the cops sent to the courtroom started wandering around like lost puppies and drew the attention of a sergeant who was not in on the scheme.
"A sergeant comes up and says, 'Can I help you?' and they say they're there to take care of this ticket, and the sergeant says, 'What?' and he reports them to IAB," the source said."

"On one side is the business-as-usual, the bipartisan, rigged Washington poker game in which the media act as the bouncers and the rubes are the taxpayers, being fleeced as surely as the hapless mark in "The Sting." There is only one way for government to go -- up.

On the other side are the disparaged Tea Partiers -- vilified by the Washington Republicrat-media complex as unlettered and unwashed rabble from flyover country, bitter clingers with a touching belief in the words of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution."

No Heavy Lifting For Obama

[From article]
"Our president's most muscular recent action was to co-author an opinion article with Britain's David Cameron and France's Nicholas Sarkozy. This plainly reflects Obama's view that writings and speeches are all that a president is really required to do. Sadly, of course, articles and speeches are simply the articulation of policy, not policy in action. Nor do op-eds constitute leadership."

How many other alleged journalists are really just government employees printing leaks from their colleagues and claim to be investigators? See Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin's book, Silent Coup.

FBI, Police Bullying Remains Unaddressed

Bullying is a problem for students in schools. Why do journalists seldom scrutinize bullying abuses of police and the FBI? Police and FBI use criminals to do their dirty work. A civilian has no recourse. Police and the FBI will not interfere with the other agent's/officer's informants. Journalists refuse to discuss abuses of police and the FBI unless it is part of a story about a court case. US Judge Mark Wolf exposed twenty years of FBI abuses by granting a defense motion by Attorney Anthony Cardinale. Adults and school officials can stop student on student bullying. Who will stop character assassination by police and the FBI?

Woodward's False Persona

According to Len Colodny in his book, Silent Coup, Bob Woodward was a briefer for the Joint Chiefs of Staff before he became a journalist. He briefed Alexander Haig and denied he knew the General. When Woodward appeared at Harvard's School of Government to get an award I asked him during a public session why he denied those facts. He became upset and told me that I should get my client's name right. He thought I was a lawyer and that Robert Gettlin ( I called him Rich Gettlin) co-author of Silent Coup was my client. He did not answer the question. There were audible gasps from the audience who worshipped him. Woodward is part of the liberal media-government cabal which for the past 50 years uses propaganda as reporting. Nixon was hounded from office for allegations and for helping persons he thought were loyal to him. Non of the liberal media discuses the infiltration of the Nixon administration to embarrass him from within. Nixon was a threat to the Eastern liberal elites who ran the country since its beginning. Nixon was transferring wealth and political power from them to new interests in the South and Western parts of the country. Watergate was a retaking of power by the Eastern liberal elites.

Five Rules of Propaganda

Think about how many people you know who use these techniques. The first one that comes to mind is a Boston FM radio talk show host, lawyer, former Cambridge, MA City Councilor Jim Braude.

Here are five basic rules of propaganda, courtesy of Norman Davies in his extraordinary book "Europe: A History":


* The rule of simplification: reducing all data to a simple confrontation between 'Good and Bad', 'Friend and Foe'.

* The rule of disfiguration: discrediting the opposition by crude smears and parodies.

* The rule of transfusion: manipulating the consensus values of the target audience for one's own ends.

* The rule of unanimity: presenting one's viewpoint as if it were the unanimous opinion of all right-thinking people: draining the doubting individual into agreement by the appeal of star-performers, by social pressure, and by 'psychological contagion'.

* The rule of orchestration: endlessly repeating the same messages in different variations and combinations.

Obama's Tax Hypocrisy

[From article]
"Like most limousine liberals -- who fly private jets to global-warming conferences and live in 10,000 square-foot houses -- Obama talks a great line but lives differently.

When he voluntarily gives up his deductions and asks his wealthy donors to do the same, he'll have some moral authority to argue that he wants a tax code that "is fair and simple -- so that the amount of taxes you pay isn't determined by what kind of accountant you can afford." Until then, spare us the hypocrisy, Mr. President."

When You Have Too Much Money

And you thought having too little money was a problem? This indicates what difficulties arise when you make money you cannot show and do not have a place to hide it. Occasionally drug dealers get into shootouts with illegal gambling rings because the bookies refuse to launder money for the druggies. Hiding it in cars and boxes of beer are some ways to deal with it.

"Some might argue that it’s unfair to include DeLeo in this rogue’s gallery, because he hasn’t even been indicted. But in January in the House chambers, DeLeo willingly posed for photos with all of these same sleazy, corrupt mentors of his.

I asked for those photos — I figure they’re public record. But DeLeo stonewalled me. I’ll bet if I were some racetrack tout in a leisure suit talking out of the side of my mouth and smoking a cigar, he’d have given them to me — in frames."

Celebrating Drug Dealing

This is a review of a book about how Jay-Z a multi millionaire record producer and performer began as a street drug dealer. He is celebrated for his successes. Compare how the FBI broadcast 30 years of character assassination telling local police in many jurisdictions and everyone I met that I was a retired drug dealer. After 30 years f lies it is believed as truth. Jay-Z was a real drug dealer. He is celebrated for having made millions in a legal business. To this day police and FBI informants conduct criminal surveillance and harassment acting on such allegations repeated for 30 years. Is this a racially motivated or simply corruption for personal and political purposes?

Black Leaders Exaggerate Abuses of Slavery

Use of Holocaust is misguided. It minimizes that event, and does not apply to the way that Black slaves were treated. They were exploited yes, but they were not murdered as government policy as Jews were in Germany and Poland. Jews were slaves in Egypt but don't blame Egyptians alive today, or Germans either. Few Black leaders recognize that 600,000 White Americans were killed fighting to end slavery. Instead of blaming contemporary White Americans for abuses of their ancestors, they deserve thanks for ending slavery in this country. 40 years of Affirmative Action (government racism) addresses past abuses.

Priorites, Money For Afghanistan Not For US

[From article]
"Visiting Afghanistan last month, I saw the flood of money, the gushing pipeline of dollars, we are spending to win the love and support, and foster the peaceableness, of the people of Afghanistan. I was told of and saw pictures of the newly opened health-care centers and schools. I'd think: "This is very nice, very kind, but Camden, N.J., could use a clinic. Camden could use a new school." We have such budget problems, a brutalizing tax system, an incoherent American culture. Don't these things need our attention?"

City Council Hires Experts

Recent history shows the wisdom of the City Council. They approved a $31 million library which cost $91 million to build. There was no clock in the building. The doors still do not work properly after 17 months being open. The building looks like Harvard's OIT which was torn down for the CGIS Terra Cotta brick monstrosity loved by chief architect Harry Cobb. Cambridge's new library looks like a building designed by architects for architects. For $375,000 I'll be an expert too. Can the design experts for Kendall Square do any worse than this? Did Mr. Obama teach the City Councilors that more taxpayer money is needed for more experts? Or did they come up with that pattern of spending other people's money themselves?

Ed Koch: War On Jews Continues

Ed Koch Commentary
March 21, 2011

The War Against the Jews Goes On

The latest Palestinian violence against Israelis, and the continuing abandonment of Israel by most of the international community, inevitably bring to mind the abandonment of the Jews during the Holocaust. Just this past week, a document emerged which raises disturbing new questions about President Franklin Roosevelt’s response to the Nazi mass murder of Europe’s Jews.

The document was brought to my attention by Dr. Rafael Medoff, a Holocaust scholar and director of The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, in Washington, DC. Several years ago, Dr. Medoff collaborated with me on my book “The Koch Papers: My Fight Against Anti-Semitism.” It was based on my writings and speeches about the Holocaust and anti-Semitism, during the course of my nine years in Congress and twelve as mayor of New York City.

The document which Dr. Medoff sent me last week, concerning FDR and the Holocaust, was frankly shocking. It had to do with the Allies’ occupation of North Africa, which they liberated from the Nazis in November 1942. At the time, President Roosevelt publicly pledged the Allies would do away with the anti-Jewish laws that had been in force in the region. But when FDR met in Casablanca with local government leaders in January 1943, he took a very different line. The transcript of those discussions, which Dr. Medoff cites, reveals what FDR said about the status of the 330,000 Jews living in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia: “The number of Jews engaged in the practice of the professions (law, medicine, etc) should be definitely limited to the percentage that the Jewish population in North Africa bears to the whole of the North African population...The President stated that his plan would further eliminate the specific and understandable complaints which the Germans bore toward the Jews in Germany, namely, that while they represented a small part of the population, over fifty percent of the lawyers, doctors, school teachers, college professors, etc., in Germany, were Jews.”

Hard to believe a president would say such a thing? Maybe, but the source is unimpeachable: the transcript appears in Foreign Relations of the United States, a multivolume series of historical documents published by the U.S. government itself. The Casablanca volume was published in 1968, but did not attract much notice at the time. Dr. Medoff has done a public service by bringing it to our attention again.

Fortunately, U.S. policy in occupied North Africa in the end did not follow FDR’s line. When it became clear that the administration was stalling on getting rid of the old anti-Jewish laws, American Jewish leaders loudly protested. (If only they had been so vocal throughout the Holocaust years!) One of the most memorable critiques came from Benzion Netanyahu --father of Israel’s current prime minister-- who in those days headed up the American wing of the Revisionist Zionist movement: “The spirit of the Swastika hovers over the Stars and Stripes,” he wrote. The protests eventually forced the White House to back down. North African Jews were gradually released from forced-labor camps and the anti-Jewish quotas and other laws were rescinded.

The American Jewish community reveres the memory of FDR. He will always be remembered and rightly so for leading us through the Great Depression and is responsible for this country not ending up in the column of fascist nations, as did Germany and Italy.

We had 25 percent unemployment in a nation of 132 million. We had Father Coughlin and Charles Lindbergh beating the drums of fascism and support of Adolf Hitler and his ideas, particularly those blaming the Jews of the world for the ills of the world. We had the German-American Bund led by Fritz Kuhn in Yorkville with signs stating “No Jews Allowed.” I saw such signs as a small boy on the beaches of Coney Island.

And, of course, FDR led us to victory in World War II. So the feelings of support for him held by much of the country’s Jewish citizens was highest then and still among the highest for his memory. To this day, Jews overwhelmingly support the Democratic Party. The Jewish community gave President Barack Obama 78 percent of its vote in the presidential election in 2008.

I appreciate FDR’s contributions to the survival of our country. At the same time, I have never forgiven him for his refusal to grant haven to the 937 Jewish passengers on the SS St. Louis, who after fleeing Nazi Germany had been turned away from Cuba and hovered off the coast of Florida. The passengers were returned to Europe, and many were ultimately murdered in the Nazi concentration camps before World War II ended. I have said that I believe he is not in heaven, but in purgatory, being punished for his abandonment of the Jews. The concept of purgatory is Catholic. I am a secular Jew, but I am a believer in God and the hereafter, and I like this Catholic concept. The Casablanca document reinforces my conviction that President Roosevelt was, at heart, not particularly sympathetic to the plight of the Jews.

Today, the war against the Jews continues. While Palestinian terrorists murder Israeli children in their beds and fire rockets into Israeli towns, the international community rages against Israel. To his credit, President Barack Obama vetoed the recent United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israel--yet in the same breath, the administration spokeswoman and U.N. ambassador emphasized the U.S. agreed with the substance of that one-sided resolution. That’s no way to treat an ally.

Why can’t Jews live on the West Bank? More than one million Arabs live in Israel now, about 20 percent of its population. When Israel and the Palestinian Authority settle their differences, shouldn’t Jews be able to choose to live in the new Palestinian state as citizens, or at least resident aliens? I don’t see why not.

Of course, Israel has made mistakes in its dealings with the Palestinians. The Israelis are no less human in that respect than other nations, including ours. But the intransigence, unwillingness to compromise, is far greater on the part of the Palestinian leaders, who fear for their lives threatened by the Arab radicals, fundamentalists and terrorists. Where are the Arab voices of moderation? I don’t hear them. But I do hear the voices of those threatening the destruction of Israel, of those seeking to delegitimatize Israel at the United Nations.

Yes, the war against the Jews is still going on, 66 years after World War II. But, thank God, there is now a Jewish state that will not be cowed and will do what is necessary to protect the Jewish people.

Did Psychiatric Drugs Cause Shooting in Brazil School?

[From article]
"Now the questions are being asked. How did this happen? Where did the killer get his guns? And why did Wellington de Oliveira, a 23-year-old, unemployed former student of the same school, carry out his appalling rampage?"
Question that needs to be asked is, "What psychiatric drugs was he taking? In USA the drug-company-controlled FDA requires a warning on these drugs that may cause violent thoughts and suicidal thoughts. Does Brazil require such a warning? Instead of blaming guns try blaming the cause of much violence, drugs pushed by psychiatrists.

FBI Runs Organized Crime

[This comment was taken down from the New York Post web page.]
The FBI now runs organized crime. The largest crime family is the witness protection program. Feds use these people to commit burglaries, to steal, to harass, and to conduct character assassination of civilians for personal and political purposes. FBI criminals are the greatest danger to safety of civilians. When will citizens realize that the government is run by criminals? Are journalists part of the problem?

[Tried again with this comment]

FBI continues to target one ethnic group on behalf of the privileged groups that run the FBI. They recruit new members for its witness protection program, the largest organized crime family in the history of the world. Protected criminals are employed by government thugs to harass, to steal from, and to assassinate the character of civilians for personal and for political purposes. Government criminals run free and are out of control. Journalists refuse to write about these egregious abuses.

Misguided Priorities

Do police keep the wrong people under surveillance? For 40 years one activist is under 24/7 surveillance, harassment and character assassination by police and FBI. Yet this charming fellow was left alone to do his life's work. Sending military forces to assist political activists in Libya sounds about right for this administration. US citizens are never abused by government criminals, who need to be free to conduct their business.

[Reply to post]
Your personal attacks show limited knowledge and vocabulary. Police and FBI waste resources watching and harassing civilians for political and personal reasons rather than targeting people like this serial killer. Obama sends military to Libya to protect critics of Ghadafy. Try a course in logic. It will help your reasoning ability.

[Another reply]

garydchance

You've raised a critically important point that is not sinking in with respect to innocents abused by surveillance while criminals are ignored. A key element of this has to do with economics on a personal and national scale. Those who cannot do a proper job as individuals concentrate on the innocent easy targets just like terrorists in order to fake it to make it. On the grand scale oil is at the heart of Libya not human rights. That oil is critically important to Europe and the overall world oil price. The stability sought in dictators for oil supply has been lost in Libya's Colonel Gaddafi who has gone berserk. He would destroy his own country and who knows what he would do with the oil now.

There is also an alternate government at work in the US and elsewhere hidden under the guise of intelligence, protection against terrorism, state security and law enforcement. The Washington Post exposed this last summer as Top Secret America with a revolving door between the military and civilian security activity. These people have to earn a living when they get out of the military at all levels, and they have no skills. They can carry out surveillance in conjunction with law enforcement however. What do they do? They fake it against innocents to make it and ignore the real criminals. They are fraudsters seeking to milk the system.

In a very strange and quite complex way this all fits together under greed, glory and power where those without skills can make a living and wealth by faking it. It is quite independent of the elected government and out of control by either Democrats or Republicans. I've been one of these surveillance targets in London by former US Marines who fake it to make it since February 2001. I thought Obama's election would change this. Nope. He is caught in it and cannot establish standards just as he cannot close Guatanamo since it is such a mess now. He has to go along with the alternate government created by the US military and the intelligence community.

I have the very same complaint you voiced: why aren't these efforts and sophisticated surveillance tools being used against real criminals instead of being used against the innocent by people who are criminals themselves? Going to Libya under the guise of ensuring some form of democracy results is just an option for keeping the oil supply open in the future because Gaddafi has gone off the deep end. Against his people, yes, but also against the economic interest of the West and world.

The common denominator in all of this is the abuse of power for self serving reasons which is at the heart of misuse of surveillance and even the ultimate objective for the action in Libya. Humans still operate on the basis of self interest. The question is: are we moving away from this toward altruistic motivations and objectives in a meaningful way? I don't know yet. I'll let you know if the indefinite surveillance torture abuse against me stops. There's no reason for this to be done at all.

Dirt Bags Still Run FBI

These FBI agents should all be investigated for the same kind of criminal abuses that Connolly specialized in, in Boston. It shows that the FBI remains as dirty as it was with Connolly and Rico and still needs cleansing. FBI informants run wild in Boston harassing citizens, stealing from them, and slandering them on behalf of FBI scumbags and dirt bags like Connolly. Too bad the current US Attorney General shares Connolly's relaxed rectitude. The FBI cannot be trusted. They lie, steal and kill through their criminal informants.

Is there any doubt among awake citizens that the states and US government are run by criminals? Before being shot dead after trying to run down police officers, he had a girlfriend and four children and was allowed to work.

[From article]
"Santos had 14 prior arrests, for gun possession, assault, drug-dealing and auto theft. In 1999, he was sentenced to two years at Sing Sing after ramming two people with a stolen car.
His sentence was extended after he was caught with contraband in jail.
Santos' family gathered together yesterday to grieve. Jennifer Velez, 26, his longtime girlfriend and the mother of one of his four children, said he went to White Castle at 10 p.m. to pick up food.
[. . .]
Velez said Santos, who was working as a livery driver, might have been fleeing the cops because his license had expired. He was driving a car rented from an illegal livery-cab company in The Bronx, police said."

More Concerns Than Obama's Birth Credentials

[From article]
"With all due respect to Donald Trump, he has not “legitimized” the eligibility issue, as the matter far exceeds the existence of the birth certificate and has adversely affected the lives of many patriotic Americans who have long fought for full disclosure of all of Obama’s records. Promising to be the “most transparent” president in history, Barack Hussein Obama is the most deliberately opaque president who has withheld many more records than his birth certificate. Not only has he withheld his records, he has fought to keep them hidden from public view, amassing legal fees that some claim to exceed a million dollars of his own money, and perhaps twice that amount if pro-bono and other legal work is counted.
[. . .]
The majority of Americans alive today do not recall the WW II postwar era beyond the revised history contained in textbooks that rarely reflect the truth of that time. Today’s well-coiffed but intellectually deficient anchors who deliver the news to ordinary Americans know little to nothing of the gritty reality of the origins of the “cold war” between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union, and the infiltration of communist agents into American government. It is that very infiltration that has paved the way for Obama.
[. . .]
As painstakingly revealed by M. Stanton Evans in his extensive work Blacklisted by History, important documentation well beyond the Klaus memo relevant to exposing the level of communist infiltration into the U.S. government is not limited to government sources such as the National Archive, but also to private data sources and repositories. He lists a number of instances where records were scrubbed and consequently, created a much different and much less accurate picture of that era of U.S. history."

Limited Diversity at Harvard

Not only low income students but also students with disabilities are ignored by the diversity police lobby. More importantly since this is an "international" issue, white people make up 16 percent of the world population. Why are they denied minority status and affirmative action privileges? Has anyone at Harvard ever thought about tolerating diversity of opinion? Why is it that children of highly educated, politically connected, often wealthy parents are the ones who benefit from affirmative action and diversity programs?

"If a fake network like ours has a stronger signal than the café's computers, the surfers would naturally gravitate towards our passage to the Internet -- and if we were actual crooks -- we could have swiped their bank account numbers, their customer IDs and their passwords."

Psychiatry as Excuse for Violence

Under what system of jurisprudence does having a "first potential psychotic break" create immunity from criminal laws? Lawyers regularly use alleged disabilities to escape criminal liability for wealthy clients. Courts equate mental illness with crime, use treatment as punishment and allow alleged mental illness to excuse atrocious criminal behavior. Is psychiatry like baking powder?

Making Crime Into a Disability

The psychiatric industry successfully lobbied the state to allow mixing criminals with persons accused of mental illness. Forced treatment is punishment meted out by the courts, which increases the client base of the psychiatric boondoggle. Psychiatrists claim superior knowledge and morality. They are greedy charlatans masquerading as scientists. Some chemicals pushed as medicine by taxpayer funded human services providers are the cause of violence. Even the drug-company-controlled FDA requires warnings on these drugs. Intense scrutiny of the psychiatric industry is needed to stop the criminal abuses. The MA DMH is run by the drug industry promoting drug treatment. There is no benefit to the taxpayer. Only the drug companies and their pill-pusher psychiatrists benefit from the DMH. Time to close it down. Put criminals in jail and leave the accused persons with disabilities alone.

Laws Are Applied Depending on Who Gets Elected

[From article]
"Auto dealer and ex-Giant tackle Brad Benson -- who gave the clergyman a car in return for a vow not to torch the holy book -- labeled him "unpatriotic."
When George Bush was President the ACLU handed out buttons saying "Dissent is Patriotic." Is patriotism and dissent dependent upon who is President? Do all laws include application dependent on what politicians run the government? I know that Massachusetts applies laws that way but the ACLU too? What is the world coming to?

Police, FBI and Crime Families Work Together

After experiencing 40 years of criminal harassment, character assassination, thefts and denial of many basic rights guaranteed to American citizens I conclude, police, FBI and crime families work together.

In 1973 government psychiatrists working at Harvard University drugged me using hallucinogens for 80 consecutive days. I was not a patient of any physician, nor did I volunteer for any human experiments. This was done because someone at Harvard believed that I was a spy. For two years I was unable to function. For 15 years the FBI used me to fight organized crime. They never paid me one cent. They did broadcast many false and defamatory allegations repeated for 35 years. The allegations were used by local police and the crime families who work with them to justify punishing me over and over again and again for the allegations. In 1988 the FBI abandoned me to two of their criminals in the witness protection program trying to get me to change my name and join them.

For 30 years these two FBI criminals (who said they were my friends) were highly paid by government criminals covering up what they did to me. Among the charming things they said about me was that I was a retired drug dealer. The FBI stirred up racial animosity, which was believed and acted on by no less than city officials, Harvard University professors, their campus cops and administrators.

At the same time other crime families and their police associates conducted total 24/7 surveillance, sleep deprivation, and brutal criminal harassment as I did errands and tried to create video productions. Tampering with my computer (second only to criminal psychiatric abuses) is a favored form of criminal harassment. This is one of many felonies committed by police criminals who work for Harvard and the local city government. The State of MA is run by one organized crime family and it explains why the state is so corrupt. In NYC there are 5 families who compete with each other and effectively keep each other honest. The NYPD has a few honest cops unlike the state of MA and the FBI.

Fake Harvard Test For Gambling Addiction

Ridiculous article with the link to the "Harvard" test, which is so very like Harvard, having nothing to do with reality. If Harvard could get Obama elected what can they not do, huh? Is this one more PR flack trying to stimulate business for the therapeutic state? Only psychiatrists will benefit from this "test." I have not gambled for about 34 years. Yet according to the test I need help. Stop listening to Harvard researchers who do it for the money. Science is as corrupted as the police, the FBI and the politicians. Wake up while you can.

Hackers Continue Attacks on Corporate Data

Government and corporate leaders who get billions after and while destroying corporations and stealing taxpayer funds assure civilains that their credit and personal information is safe on their computer servers. Criminal hackers continue to steal sensitive information from the servers of the very same inept corporations. Obama wants to have all medical records online too. Isn't that special? Still wondering who he works for?

Ads Opposed by CAIR In Detroit Legal

[From article]
"SMART was saying that our ads offering help to those threatened for leaving Islam were political. They were effectively admitting that Islam was political -- an admission that had immense implications (far beyond, I'm sure, what Detroit imagined). If Islam is political, it ought to be subject to the restrictions and scrutiny to which all political entities in the U.S. are subject. This could open the door to a reevaluation of the unthinking assumption that Islam is simply a religion like Judaism or Christianity, and transform anti-terror efforts that are now hamstrung by the all-too-common idea that all that goes on in mosques is purely "religious."

UN, Obama Blame Israel, Defend Islamic Terrorists

[From article]
"The OIC is successfully conning members of our government and liberal Americans into fixating on the so-called problem of Islamophobia. Never mind that the latest FBI hate crime statistics show that Jews were the targets of 71.9% of all religious hate crimes reported in the U.S. While hate crimes against Muslims was at 8.4%. Despite such statistics Democrats are clamoring to show their concern over the "spike" in anti-Muslim bigotry. Senate Majority Whip, Richard Durbin opened hearings this week regarding the "problem" of Islamophobia in America by saying, "Today, addressing anti-Muslim discrimination is an important civil rights issue of our time."

Fake Labor Statistics

Not even Mark Twain would be fooled by the Labor Department's statistics. They are official guesses and imaginary jobs that the Labor Department thinks were created. Each year they deduct hundreds of thousands from their guesses to bring the numbers down to reality. Spring is a notorious time for exaggeration. See John Crudele's columns on these figures in the New York Post.

Sports As a Diversion

This discussion sounds like it was run by the ruling class. Oh you say, Harvard educates children of the ruling class? Did anyone consider that sports is a way of keeping the herd bewildered as Noam Chomsky says? Is it pageantry to divert attention from the affairs of state where upper class elites steal taxpayer funds and keep each other in lifestyles to which they have become accustomed?

Disability At Harvard

Did anyone ask Mr. Glassman how many lawsuits the Disability Law Center filed on behalf of their clients? There are numerous lobbyists and technology providers eager to sell equipment to lawyers. Many legal advocates petition the legislature. Few lawyers who are paid as attorneys actually litigate to bring improved lives for persons with disabilities. That is why their status in society remains low. Even rehabilitation services organizations direct disabled persons into unskilled jobs. One wonders why with all of the thousands of taxpayer funded programs to address discrimination toward black people in America and especially at Harvard and in Cambridge why aren't persons with disabilities allowed to have a one-day event solely for their benefit?
