Entry: ANOTHER NEW LOW FOR "HIGHER EDUCATION" - THE FIRING OF WARD CHURCHILL 7.24.2007



Apparently the "empire" is not satisfied with stealing the freedom of people abroad under the name of "democracy," it attempts to silence free speech in the academic arena with a vengeance. It is interesting how lies mutate over a period of time, and how they have become the earmark of official government acts these days.

First when Iraq was attacked is was "weapons of mass destruction," than it became the toppling of a dictator, and finally it became "spreading democracy." The Churchill lynching started with an outburst of what he said in regard to 9/11 and how he should be fired, than turned into "he is not a real Indian," to academic improprieties! Isn't it funny that the same fingerprints produce similar results in two totally different set of circumstances?



You are fooling yourself if you think this has a single thing to do with academic improprieties, it is actually a concerted effort to silence any dissent in the academic community, a community which in the United States has always been the first line of defense domestically for the official positions of the status quo. Currently, you have democracy being rolled back - so that any gains of freedom in academia are made tenuous.

I mean, when you look at this 120 page plus piece of nonsense that came out of "investigative committee" you have to almost laugh, not because it's funny, not funny "ha, ha," but because it is a work of complete academic hackery! The inquisition of old had nothing on these modern day witch hunters. You have contextual fraud in the report, in regard to the work and even the emphasis of what Ward Churchill wrote.  You have the imposition of what he not only wrote and said, but what he was supposed to have  meant - which he did not even imply!



We have all been put through the academic mill, and the product from K-12 and on through "higher education" that they want to produce is compliant people, "good citizens" who have had every dissenting bone removed from their bodies, every critical thought or even the apparatus for critical thought removed from their minds, veritably predictable benign consuming slaves!  Where the population is primarily a commodity to be consumed by an engorged elite, used for canon fodder in the empires wars of aggression, a disposable populace which is nothing but a cog of complicity in the corporate machinery.

So, they in public pillory a tenured academic, with laws of plagiary which would make anyone academic or no, a flaming plagiarist! 
They make a mockery of free speech when that speech targets their crimes, and the consequence of their crimes exact a toll on the American public. Look carefully at anything that came out of the 9/11 commission report - do you see anything, anything that resembles changing foreign policy that would produce the backlash which the people experienced? NO. What horrifies them is a man which pleads - "please stop killing their babies!"



They recruit students like the Nazi brown shirts to record, write down, and report to the academic fascists that be. They do it in the name of "balance," that is, suppression in the name of "fairness," lies in the name of furthering an agenda of hegemony. When the real question is not balance, it is truth!

However, these people are not interested in the truth historically or in the present.  You can see this in the committee to crucify Churchill which uses falsification  which bears the University of Colorado's imprimatur - which is merely an authority to fabricate by all intents and purposes! No different than a kangaroo court set up for guaranteed prosecution (like the "courts" set up to prosecute so-called "enemy combatants"). The process is so invalid, that you might as well have tortured Ward Churchill to get the confession that you wanted! Why create this two year ellipsis, which is nothing but an academic charade?



Indeed, found in the heart of that infamous think (stink) tank document, PNAC, you find the goal of cleansing the universities of any dissent. Did you think PNAC was just a document about foreign policy (atrocity)? No, it also has a domestic agenda which was to clear the path to make these atrocities acceptable to the American people - and thereby to cleanse all dissent from institutions of higher learning in order to indoctrinate the American public.

Brought to you by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, founded by Lynne Cheney in 1995 that claims to have contributed billions of dollars to colleges and universities, connected to Horowitz and his fetid Campus Watch, the goal which is
``Defending Civilization: How Our Universities Are Failing America,'' the American Council claims that ``colleges and university faculty have been the weak link in America's response'' to Sept. 11. It also asserts that ``when a nation's intellectuals are unwilling to defend its civilization, they give comfort to its adversaries.''



WARD CHURCHILL IS ONE AMONG A NUMBER OF ACADEMICS TARGETED BY THESE ABOVE FASCIST GROUPS, AND IF YOU THINK THERE IS NOT CONNECTION YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN. IT IS TIME FOR THE PEOPLE TO RESIST THIS ONSLAUGHT, STOP THE ASSAULT ON DISSENT AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH, BECAUSE IF WE CANNOT CUT OFF THIS ACTIVITY IN OUR OWN INSTITUTIONS IT WILL NOT ONLY DOOM US BUT THE WORLD AT LARGE.


 
"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty" : Howard Zinn

"A true story which came from a presentation
given of the Cherokee 'Trail of Tears'."

Story from Freeman Owle
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians
November 1996

Copyright © 1996 Owle

Freeman Owle is a lecturer and storyteller from the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians. This is a true story he told in November 1996 at a Native American awareness program.

A few years ago, Freeman Owle went to Cincinnati to make a presentation before a university group. He told about the Trail of Tears and how one set of his great-grandparents had escaped from the march with their infant child, crossed back over the Mississippi River, and returned to find their Georgia home burned to the ground. Realizing that they could no longer stay in Georgia, they moved to Birdtown, a community on the Cherokee Reservation in North Carolina where Freeman was raised and where he lives today.

Mr. Owle also told the students that there likely will never be a Cherokee named Andrew because of the many deaths of Cherokees and people of other tribes during their forced relocation to Oklahoma...deaths attributed to President Andrew Jackson and his anti-Indian policies. [As it turns out, there were several named Andrew even back then.]

Following the presentation, several students stated that they wanted to help do something on the reservation. He said he had just the project and arranged for them a come down in a few weeks. The group of about 10 students arrived late one Friday night and called to tell him that they had checked into a hotel and would be ready to go the next morning. Early the next day he took them to the home of an 81-year old Cherokee woman who for the first time in her life was unable to plant a garden and grow the old Indian corn that had been with her family for many generations. Freeman equipped them with hoes and, under the watchful eye of the elderly woman, began to dig long straight rows in the rocky ground.

About 10 am, most of the students had stopped to get a cold drink and take a break under a shade tree, except for one girl who kept working. Freeman asked her if she wanted to take a break and she replied that she was fine and kept working. About noon, the students stopped to eat lunch, except for the one girl who kept working. Freeman went to her and asked if she wanted to eat lunch with the others. She said no, that she wanted to keep working. He told her "Joy, you need to take a break and get something to eat and drink." Putting his hand on the hoe, he pulled it gently from her hands. As he did, he saw that her palms and fingers were covered in blisters, many of which had already broken.

With her eyes turned downward, she said "You don't know who I am, or anything about me, but I need to keep working. I have to give something back to the Cherokee people." Looking up with tears welling in her eyes and her lip trembling, she continued "You see, Andrew Jackson was my great-grandfather."
