The fake Ms. Gay is clearly such a deeply unimpressive person, who has, I’ve read, never published a single book for all her “rigorous scholarship,” (I don’t think publish-or-perish is a good economy for scholarship, but we would expect the president of Harvard to be above-grade in output and contributions in her field), that I assume there is NO WAY the search committee and board didn’t know she was a hack from the start - she just happens to fit in the suit. So of course they will defend her; they knew who they were hiring.

"Fit the suit"!

It was all about checking the melanin box.

See the Stack from Chris Bray that does a nice review of her academic c.v.

Reminds one of B. Hussein's stint as Harrvard Law Journal editor.

“Did I do that?” should be appended with: “even if I did, it doesn’t matter.”

Did everyone else also hear that in Urkel's voice in their minds' ears?! Or was it just me?

She even LOOKS like him.

The adult actor is not a bad looking man.

Gay, not so much.

You're right about Gay. Of course, I was comparing Gay to the character, not the actor.

I bet the actor wasn't a bad looking kid when he wasn't in character.

😁 That or simply “I Didn’t do it!!”

Well theoretically if you wanted to have huge influence over an institution then you want to put your person into power there then it is going to be easier to own that person if they got the job through your assistance. So someone maybe could have given her that matter to use and held it over her. It’s like when Klaus S said he had penetrated the cabinet in Canada (look at how stupid and manipulated Trudeau et al are... they either are incompetent or blackmailed or both- how many people in key positions are out there are incompetent or may be honey potted?)

The Gods on Mount Olympus's BIG JOKE is what this is. They've gone like: "OK guys, so let's round up all the stupidest, most intellectually and morally corrupt people in America and put them.......in the UNIVERSITIES....and at the TOP as well! Now that'll be a right laugh".

It's the result of the DEI policies. Canada now wants this to be done in our medical schools.

The title says it all. Our medical system is completely broken, now they want to grind it into the ground with their heels.

Plagerism’s been in style since the 80’s with Biden leading the way

This further aligns with the theory you exposed here some days ago regarding how most people in high spheres are utterly incompetent and compromised. It’s not accidental, it’s a way to have control over these people. Knowing you plagiarized your own thesis is a good one. Maybe this puppet did something wrong or its just that the master wanted a new toy…

Or it could be the fact that we keep bailing out failure. Ask Gato what the significance of 2008 was, bet he won't tell you. All of our current problems, would have been nipped in the bud if we'd handled that correctly. Oh well, i'd go as far as saying if we'd handled it correctly, 2020 would have never happened.

This is why your vote doesn't matter, this is why i wonder who Gato works for. This is why 2020 had to happen:

Remember the Peter Principle?

Expand full comment

The Peter Principle only gets you so far, unless you can print money and bail all your cronies out. Ms. Gay wouldn't have a job, unless .gov hadn't inflated a giant bubble in Higher Education. The same goes for Healthcare, Obamacare was a bailout of the insurance industry.

Babylon Bee - Claudine Gay Responds To Plagiarism Accusations By Giving Inspiring 'I Have A Dream' Speech

Expand full comment

If you read Karlstack (https://www.karlstack.com/p/the-curious-case-of-claudine-gay), Claudine Gay has been a "problematic" figure for a while. I find it funny that only now we care. Wonder why that is? *tapping chin thoughtfully* Oh, that's right. She found herself on the wrong side of the narrative.

This hypocrisy kills me. I can't take much more of it.

I always struggle to understand why it's such a popular fashion to look hideous. While it's true my own photo album reveals some unfelicitous choices during my earlier years, I tended to do my shopping at discount outlets and lower-end mass market retailers. I'm fairly sure Ms. Gay has always been able to buy better and style a little less absurdly.

Exactly! How could anyone take this person seriously, much less make her president of Harvard?

I suspect that her plagiarism was already known, but held back for just such an occasion.

Just like the East German Stasi, US agencies keep files on everyone for use when convenient.

Also similar: Teslas are now being recalled because defects were "discovered" after Elon broke with the ruling cabal.
