To be or not?

Thomas Sowell writes about the corruption that has perverted truth within the law and  academia...both of which have been targeted by Gramscian acolytes as 'instruments of power' within the Western ideological 'enemies' camp.

These examples though shocking, are played out in the main-stream-press of many Western countries on a daily basis.

This was not about winning a case. It was about winning an election.

Nifong could not allow a standard lineup to be used to have the accuser identify her alleged attackers, or else her unreliability would have been exposed early on, depriving him of a case to use to get the black vote in his election.

There is not the slightest reason to believe that Nifong was deceived or mistaken. He was not some kid fresh out of law school. He had decades of experience as a prosecutor. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Nor was the New York Times a naive ingenue in these matters. It had backed Al Sharpton's fraudulent accusations of rape in the Tawana Brawley case, which had the same politically correct elements of a black woman accusing white men of rape.

Nor were the 88 Duke faculty members who promoted a lynch mob atmosphere naive. Most were from departments promoting the "race, class, and gender" vision of victimhood.

This case served their purposes. That trumped any question about whether the charges were true or not.

Don't expect any of these people to recant or apologize. But be aware of how wide and how deep the moral dry rot goes.

That such people are teaching students at an elite university is a chilling thought. That they promote a campus atmosphere where political correctness trumps the search for truth is painful.

That such attitudes and such atmospheres are not peculiar to Duke University, but are common on elite college campuses from coast to coast is a time bomb with the potential to destroy individuals and ultimately undermine the whole society.
 

I trust that the conservative government currently elected to power in Australia, takes the bull by the horns and begins to chip away at the anti-Western ideologues within the professions of Law and Academia.
However I do not actually believe such a thing will happen because the rot exists even in the conservative camp.

To send your child to study the Humanities in almost any University in the Western world these days, is to expose them to propaganda, lies, degradation and a sniff of Hades...such a pity because I have always been an advocate of higher education and in particular the Humanities.
It's enough to break ones heart.

Defeatist? Maybe, but its enough to know that in the end God will prevail.
