When Gabriel Zucman manipulated tax rate stats to show the wealthy paying less than the poor and tried to memory hole his own previously published numbers that undermined this claim, academia cheered him on because they liked his political narrative and gave him the Clark Medal.

When Kevin Kruse plagiarized multiple passages in his published works over the past two decades, academia circled the wagons around him, attacked the person who discovered it (i.e. me) as "politically motivated," and dismissed overwhelming evidence as "accidental copying and pasting."

When Quinn Slobodian got caught altering the text of Mises quotations to make them sound racist, academia made him co-editor of the journal where he did it and showered him with prizes.

When Nancy MacLean got caught engaging in wholesale fabrications of evidence (as well as egregious incompetence) in her book about James M. Buchanan, academia made her a finalist for the National Book Award.

When Nikole Hannah-Jones got caught denying and ghost-editing one of her most controversial claims out of the 1619 Project, academia handed her a cushy endowed professorship with full tenure despite her having nonexistent scholarly research outputs and zero teaching experience.

When Michael Bellesiles falsified historical documents to make an anti-second amendment argument as part of his history of gun ownership in America, academia gave him the Bancroft Prize and only rescinded it after the evidence became so overwhelming that they could not deny it anymore.

When Claudine Gay plagiarized multiple scholarly works over her career, academia made her president of Harvard and also tried to circle the wagons until the evidence became so overwhelming that they could not deny it anymore.

Yes, higher ed has a politicization problem and it often shows through in the exceedingly low standards of rigor in many of these fields. But it also manifests in other ways that are much more serious than a simple lack of rigor.

Watch this 17-second clip carefully. What you are about to see is not what it claims to be.

For over 25 years I’ve worked as a specialist forensic analyst, both within the intelligence world as well as private security sector. So I’m going to show you how forensic analysis really works to uncover the truth about what we see put in front of us.

TRT World, Turkish state media, released this video claiming it shows an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Al Zaitoun, Gaza on January 5, 2025. The dramatic footage with emotional Arabic overlay text was designed to generate instant outrage.

While obvious Pallywood often uses fake blood and staged injuries, this one is more sophisticated. It relies on perfect timing and internal preparation.

Here is the second-by-second breakdown:

Seconds 0 to 1: The camera is already perfectly framed on the building. White smoke begins venting from multiple windows simultaneously. At around the one-second mark, a bright red dot appears on an upper window for a fraction of a second right before the blast. This is the trigger light that lights up the instant before an explosive charge is detonated. It also acts as a marker for the cameraman. No incoming missile, no external impact flash.

Seconds 1 to 2: A massive dark smoke plume erupts violently outward and upward. Debris is ejected. When a real missile strikes a building, you typically see large flames from the missile’s fuel and the force ripping apart major sections of concrete, producing large chunks of debris. Here, we see no significant flames and only small debris mixed with heavy dust, exactly what you would expect from a small internal explosive device designed mainly to blow out windows and create a dramatic smoke plume. The explosion originates from inside the building and expands symmetrically.

Seconds 2 to 4: The smoke cloud balloons dramatically. The cameraman, already positioned and recording, smoothly tilts up to capture the most cinematic part of the plume.

Seconds 4 to 6: The camera tilts down to street level. A girl in bright pink walks across the dusty area almost casually, not showing the expected panic.

Seconds 6 to 9: Civilians appear relatively composed. Then the man in the red hoodie runs in, stops dramatically, and points upward while shouting in a theatrical manner.

Seconds 9 to 17: People mill about with surprising calm as dust swirls. The camera work remains composed enough to capture the drama while TRT World adds the emotional propaganda text.

This was not an airstrike. It was a carefully timed internal detonation, triggered from within (signaled by the red dot), filmed by someone who knew exactly when it would happen. The internal multi-window venting, perfect camera placement, and staged reactions all confirm it was manufactured for propaganda.

If you value the truth and appreciate such detailed analyses, please share.

Real tragedy does not need this level of staging. The information war continues.

[Masih Alinejad 🏳️ @AlinejadMasih]

This is a total betrayal…Do not even dare to speak on behalf of wounded women.

An Afghan man, perfect English, telling you women in Afghanistan are fine. Just fine. Don't worry.

This is not nuance. This is normalization. This is normalizing Taliban.

Let’s women in Afghanistan talk.
Women who have been flogged. Women who have been imprisoned. Women who have been denied an education. Women who have watched their lives disappear under gender apartheid.

We the women of Iran have seen this movie before. Just watch the second video.

An Iranian man, same perfect English, so relax, saying IRGC the terrorist organization that massacres protesters, and morality police are not that bad, they’re just fine and women if you don’t have fun with them!

To every Afghan woman, every Iranian woman: Be louder than these men.
Do not let anyone with microphones, normalize what is being done to your bodies, your lives, your freedom.

🏆 Roland Garros 2026 – FINAŁ

Maja Chwalińska przez lata próbowała przebić się do światowej czołówki. Na 14 wcześniejszych prób aż 12 razy kończyła grę jeszcze przed turniejem głównym Wielkiego Szlema.

Wielu zawodników po takiej serii niepowodzeń odpuściłoby marzenia. Ona nie odpuściła.

Dziś, choć finał Roland Garros zakończył się porażką, Maja osiągnęła coś, co jeszcze kilka lat temu wydawało się bardzo odległe – zagrała o tytuł na jednej z najważniejszych tenisowych aren świata.

To nie jest historia o jednym meczu. To historia o determinacji, konsekwencji i wierze w siebie mimo kolejnych przeszkód.

Ogromne gratulacje dla Mai Chwalińskiej za fantastyczny turniej i osiągnięcie, które zapisze się w historii polskiego tenisa. 👏🇵🇱

A dla nas wszystkich to również powód do dumy, bo dziś Polska ma nie jedną, lecz dwie tenisistki na światowym poziomie. Przez lata symbolem polskiego tenisa była Iga Świątek. Teraz do grona zawodniczek rywalizujących z najlepszymi dołączyła także Maja Chwalińska.

Brawo Maja. Finał Wielkiego Szlema to nie koniec historii. To początek kolejnego rozdziału.

If driving businesses away and destroying a state were an Olympic sport, JB Pritzker would be a gold medalist.

Add the losing the Chicago Bears to his impressive list of failures.

It’s hilarious that JB thinks that he is presidential material. 🤡

The sole purpose of mass-mailing ballots is to produce millions of unwanted, unclaimed ballots floating around in the wild.

California takes it a step further by insuring there is no way to know who filled out the ballot, who collected the ballot, or who delivered the ballot.

The whole thing is a transparent sham ... BY DESIGN.

For those who may not have seen the Clinton video about the Camp David proposal Arafat rejected last minute, here it is.

Here is why California will forever be corrupt as it relates to voting:

They created the jungle primary because it was the best way to keep from having to compete with Republicans, knowing California was a strong blue state.

When that backfired because Californians were starting to go purple and slowly red, they ensured no ID was needed to vote and mail-in would save the day.

To ensure that didn’t fail, they allowed counting of ballots for 30 days, to ensure that if their desired candidates were struggling, the aforementioned mail-in could save the day. Basically they keep counting until the win.

They created a law that would keep anyone from investigating illegal activities with the voting process. That’s called corruption. We are doomed out here. The only good thing we have left here is the weather.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

Every word of this Sam Harris essay on Israel is obviously true and it’s crazy that we live in an intellectual environment where this is called contrarianism.

I documented the sharp leftward shift in academia several years ago, along with its accompanying decline in research standards. The Vanderbilt report is welcome, but it's also simply confirmation of what was already obvious (although adamantly denied by many faculty on the left)
