“We all live in the South Bronx because that neighborhood is the unavoidable proof that American civilization can stop. It can stop literally right around the corner, and if it does nobody can do a thing about it…”

Covert operations are moving through US university campuses and reaching epidemic proportions. What’s happening?
University campuses have felt the growing tentacles of centralization for quite some time. The financial sources of increased control have been growing for decades. The list includes:
- Military-industrial research
- Federal government grants
- Federal funding and enforcement in hospitals and in medical and nursing schools
- Big media involvement in college sports
- Federal credit support to student loans
Many years ago, I wrote about the relationship between narcotics trafficking and mortgage fraud organized around urban universities and how the academics failed to notice. This was, perhaps, due to the fact that universities were benefiting from laundered funds.
As universities have emerged as big business, we hear reports that students are (at best) inputs to make the engine go. Or (at worst) targets to be prayed upon – guinea pigs for research, mind control, subject to rape and abuse and loaded up with predatory debt. The result is debasement: more expensive schooling with much less education taking place.
Not only has central control been growing, so has central surveillance and access to students’ personal communication and information. The infrastructure is now in place via cell phones, social media and satellites to gear up significant covert operations targeted at administrators, professors and students at US colleges and universities.
What’s the target? First you move your people in. Then you gain control of the money, the jobs, the intellectual capital, and the credibility.
There are endowments worth billions to manage, large bank accounts, bonds to be issued, scholarships for the children of people who play ball, research grants, media contracts for athletic events, facilities construction and maintenance contracts. There is junk science to be engineered and published and respectability given to new government policies. In a deflationary environment, such an enormous flow of funds and assets grows ever more attractive.
Now we see waves of students protesting over divide-and-conquer social issues that are wholly divorced from the real issues plaguing them – issues such as student debt and the debasement of education. As a result, we see administrators and professors frozen in fear, ready to play ball or be fired, and a serious attack on freedom of speech. While presidential political candidates are floating trial balloons for totalitarianism, the university campuses are on a politically correct lock down.
A coincidence? Hardly.
I have asked Jon Rappoport to join me for a special Solari Report on what’s really happening at US colleges and universities.
Jon and I discuss the financial models of many large US universities: how the university is a critical hub within an investment syndicate that has a very different mission than educating excellent people. To help you grapple with this very old phenomenon, we strongly recommend G. Edward Griffin’s 1982 interview of banker and Congressional staffer, Norman Dodd:
Jon and I discuss what this means to you and what you can do about it. One of the things we can all do is make sure that university professors, students and academic administrators have access to this invaluable information.
If subscribers feel that Solari Report materials may be of help to anyone you know who is directly impacted, you have my permission to share this report with them.
