What do you expect from a school dedicated to training elites on how to f--k over the masses. All top universities such as: Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Yale, MIT, etc... work hand-in-hand with the national security state, DOD and DARPA.

Sadly the case. It is a critical issue for me as a product of Yale and Harvard who has been awakened painfully. On the one hand these institutions were always resorts for the worst sort of elites. On the other hand an in the post war period there was excellent research and teaching at these institutions that had positive global impact.

These days, I get Harvard and Yale mailings and I cannot even read them. The manner in which the intellectuals at these schools were bought off is one reason we are where we are

Top universities are considered recruiting grounds for intelligence agencies like the CIA and FBI. Not to mention, all the dubious scientific experiments done in their labs.

'The End of Illusion Begins in Cambridge

For over a century, Harvard University sat at the center of the Western world’s intellectual web - an elite fortress cloaked in prestige, draped in crimson, and entrusted with shaping presidents, policy, and public trust. But that trust was built on illusion.'

'The recent cascade of revelations, liquidations, and criminal convictions has exposed something far darker: Harvard was never just a school. It was a global command node - a soft power empire cloaked in academia, now caught in a storm of treason, foreign subversion, and ethical collapse.'

I read the whole article and it is heavily biased to be a defense of Trump totalitarianism. Harvard s sin is working with China and Israel is completely left out. I would say this is valuable for the 50% that is accurate
