What’s happening at Columbia will go down as a pivotal moment in U.S. student protest history.
Yet Columbia, home to the Pulitzers and the Knight First Amendment, isn’t letting journalists, faculty, researchers in.
James Cameron: "In Star Wars the good guys are the rebels, they're using asymmetric warfare against a highly organized empire, I think we call those guys terrorists today."
George Lucas: "When I did it they were Vietcong. That was the whole point."
We need to understand, urgently, that we either divest from imperialism or we get fascism. The ruling class is eagerly ushering in fascism at home to defend their fascism abroad. And we have to reject all of it, right now.
For clarity....Columbia University, the institution that houses the Knight First Amendment Institute and the Pulitzers is barring journalists from being on the ground to cover whats happening on campus? Got it.
150 students occupied this hall for nearly three weeks in 1985 to protest South African apartheid and there was never this level of forceful police. But then again Afrikaaners didn’t have 86% of Congress voting to provide blank check support and obedient elite media support.
