Harvard can quickly cut $450,000 a year. Stop paying Elizabeth Warren that much to teach one class each year. That would be sufficient to keep the refrigerators plugged in.
Well, in all fairness, he might be a hero who donated the freezers he had to keep the MRNA vax at their mandatory (-)70 degree temperature in order to make sure they would remain safe and effective.
I would be happy to have my tax dollars go to legitimate studies, but Big Pharma has co-opted the process and rewards researchers for specific results. Do they no idea we are on to the scheme? How could we have a randomized control study on the Ivermectin/Mebendazole combo for cancer treatment? I know I'm dreaming....
I saw a few places that needed remediation before it gets published. But..Harvard, so who knows. Maybe it was pushed out because nobody can afford to do a thorough non-paid peer review unless the government pays them indirectly.
All these stories just tell us what the research is “about,” never what it *is.* Odds this study is set up to support or avoid certain preconceived conclusions are very high. How many decades of cancer “research” while the real world outcomes get worse before someone points out that this research is mostly foam on a sewage effluent?
It's well accepted that Alzheimer's research has been locked into a false hypothesis ("the plaques on the brain cause it") for 3 decades now and yet studies and drug trials keep going forward based on the false hypothesis. Similarly, it's known that the climate scientologists ignore computer models which have (accurately) predicted that nothing's really happening in favor of ones that throw up a hammer and sickle on the screen and start playing The Internationale.
Even left-wing academics admit there's a crisis in science generating unreproducible results but change the subject when you suggest it's in service to the left wing.
Ding ding ding! give this man the prize. Never solve the problem because if they did the funding would stop. What more could be learned about the cause of a cancer when they have been studying it for many decades and only come up with highly toxic treatments that are usually ineffective and often enhance the fatality.
STOP OIL protesters drive to the protests to put glue made from petroleum distillates on runways to stop planes from taking off. it is all kayfabe and FUBAR
"Never solve the problem because if they did the funding would stop"
That sentence, Swabbie, accurately sums up the colossal, pervasive grifts that are our "NGO's" - and, sadly, our governments. All of them. Federal, state, regional and municipal governments have absolutely NO interest in solving - anything.
The March of Dimes effect. MoD was founded to eradicate polio (the name is a reference to Roosevelt being on the dime). They succeeded and polio *was* eradicated, so they simply rebranded as being against "birth defects".
Au contraire, Ian - "Beginning in 1934, the fight against poliomyelitis (also known as infantile paralysis, or polio) was commonly associated with the annual Birthday Balls held each January 30 in honor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's birthday."
"...FDR issued his proclamation announcing the creation of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis on September 23, 1937, to carry on the battle against polio on a national basis, it was left to Eddie Cantor [vaudeville singer & comedian] and other promoters to organize a fundraising strategy... in California".
At a meeting of studio heads of WB & MGM, "...Cantor recalled a successful 30-second radio appeal for relief funds after a catastrophic Mississippi River flood. Applying this idea to the National Foundation, Cantor said, “I am sure that all of the national radio programs originating in Hollywood would devote 30 seconds to this great cause!” He suggested that the money raised could be directed to the White House, pending the approval of the president. After another moment of reflection he suggested, “We could call it the March of Dimes.” " It was based "... on a pun on the contemporary newsreel, The March of Time."
"The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis was officially incorporated on January 3, 1938, and the first March of Dimes radio appeal..." went across the airwaves."
"By January 29, over 80,000 letters with dimes and dollars flooded the White House mailroom to the extent that official correspondence to the President was literally buried in an avalanche of donations, a total of 2,680,000 dimes or $268,000."
Sorry to be so lengthy but to make the story comprehensible required all of the above.
They used to give out little cardboard "books", with slots to put dimes into, that you could fill with dimes, and then send in. Like those old blue "coin collector" books. Banks also had similar books, often given to kids, to "collect" the dimes. Then, you could send in the filled books. Pre-digital fund raising! LOL!....
"They make more profit from actually causing and "treating" cancer, than they do from preventing and curing it." Do the math. Follow the money. Right?!....
Same thing with trans. Once someone gets the surgery, they're on the hook to a local hospital and Big Pharma for the rest of their lives. That's why we've seen the initially confusing result of all of the countries with "socialized" health care banning trans surgeries while the US goes full steam ahead.
I have known 4 "trans" people here in my small hometown. One, got off the hormones after 1 1/2 years, and is now back to male, and is glad they weren't on the hormones longer. Yes, after long enough, the drugs ARE irreversible. A second, over 20 years ago now, deeply regrets the "surgery"/butchery. Last I saw them, they were a strangely masculine woman, or a strangely feminine man, depending how you want to look at it. Another, the "change" destroyed his/her marriage, and hurt the 2 kids. I actually met "her" online, and she lived with me for over a month, after the sudden divorce & eviction from family home. The 4th, my friends former sister, seems to have smoothly become a bearded man, with a comfortable, but also quiet & limited life. I have a deep empathy & compassion for these 3 VICTIMS of the satanic "trans agenda". God ALLOWS adults to "trans", given our gift of free will, but I do NOT, and will NEVER believe that God "wants it" to happen.... And, unless there's an identifiable genetic disorder or anomaly, it's EVIL to "trans" children, IMHO. I'm working against the "Trans agenda" here.... <L.G.B.T.Q.+D.N.C.=N.S.D.A.P.,v.2.0> <--what do you think!? ->:<-
I've been hearing about this sort of research for years and it never really seems to find any answers (and refuses to look at things such as the chemicals in our diets, chemicals in our environment and chemicals given to us as 'pharma'). It's a grift. If they found out what the reasons were, they'd be out of a job.
“good enough to spend your money on but not our own” is hardly a ringing endorsement of “too vital to stop.….it’s not even a hostage puppy, it’s a sacrificial lamb being chosen to die in order to score political points.
King Solomon, “Cut the baby in half!” We will see who the real mother is.
I'm at the point on this stuff where my reaction to the hostage puppy antics is still "there is no money". Math always wins, and so people at Harvard apparently either don't know math or pretend not to, and I don't know which case is worse.
It's the latter. I'd expect Harvard to eventually cave, because the biggest driver of its behavior has always been money. This is why for all of its supposed belief in DEI, it allows major donations to massively influence its admissions decisions.
It is probably both that people at Harvard dont know math or pretend to not know it. Harvard did just start teaching remedial math classes. How far the mighty have fallen.
I love that you dug out that old Lampoon cover. It was absolutely one of their funniest. My mind went elsewhere, though, to the scene in Blazing Saddles where Clevon holds a gun to himself and says: "Nobody move, or the n****r gets it!" If their woke/DEI principles meant so much, why not just go it alone without any public funds? Quoting another very funny movie scene: "Show me the money!"
El Gato Malo's use of AI means that the posts now actually stimulate an auto-immune response creating certain innovative helper T-calls which have probably cured your allergy by now. Hope this helps!
In other news, someone pretty bright has suggested that the conspiracy theory about the "elites" taking saline appears to be wrong. The Demented Child Molester has turbo prostate cancer, half the Royal Family and a growing number of celebrities are struggling...
Cancer at the stage they're claiming Biden has would have to have been diagnosable while he was still in office. So either they were lying then or they're lying now to use the cancer as a hostage puppy for his dementia. The timing, hours after the Hur tapes showing Biden didn't know what planet he was on were released, suggests the latter.
The irony is they had to cover-up Biden's cancer (so they could roll it out when needed) in order to give cover to covering up his cognitive decline.
This was always the plan. They just thought, in all their hubris, he was their best shot at winning, and that he could be replaced by another pawn once he got reelected.
Yes, they think we're that stupid ...after all, we're merely peasants to them.
Right! I suspect that should the globalist/neo-feudalist plan succeed, there will be hundreds of thousands of people who find out that they're now Leon Trotsky.
that is what I think. A cover up within a cover up. They just can't say that the safe and effective injections aren't and are responsible for turbo-cancers.
Here too. There was a woman I would run into at the grocery fairly often. In early 2024 she told me she had a lung removed due to cancer 18 years ago and now all of a sudden she had cancer in the other lung and her doctor said there was nothing they could do. She was fully vaxed and boosted. I told her about Dr. Pierre Kory's clinic treating Vax injuries and cancers. She told me it was all a right wing anti-vax conspiracy about harm from the covid vax. I mentioned that Dr. Kory and most of the frontline docs had been democrats. Well, the upshot was she'd apparently rather die than try an alternative tx to save her life even if it was a "Hail Mary pass" I've never seen her at the grocery again.
The demented child molester allegedly has turbo cancer. He could be in end stage dementia, where the brain loses it's ability to control muscle, including those needed to walk, chew and swallow. Confined to bed, without a feeding tube or iv hydration death comes within weeks or even days. And no chance of any death bed confessions like 'hey, do you know why they really killed that cancer study? They were finding out that cancer is really caused by.....'
It's almost impossible to know what's really happening. However, I put nothing past them. They could be planning to off him with a pillow in the night in fear of him blabbing. We wait and watch.
I believe that, sadly, Biden will die soon, and all this cancer news is so his cause of death will be listed as some form of "cancer", and NOT Alzheimers or dementia. Let's wait and see. And as a "CYA" for the Secret Service, no, I do not wish death on the old sniffer! And answers are not the solution, lol!
The pride is astounding. As if those tax dollars come out of thin air. They’re not being pried out of the paycheck of some guy who has a wife and children to support.
China doesn't have an infinite supply of money, either. Part of why they flew to the negotiating table at a speed that defied every single media and Democrat "expert" is because their economy is essentially the middleman in a US government money laundering scheme. US citizens buy stuff from China, China sends the money to Treasury, and the system was deliberately designed to stop you from following it further. DOGE and DataRepublican have done fantastic work untangling the strings there but there's still plenty more to do.
That's Vance's story, making American multi-national corps the bad guys. But it's a false narrative. The real story is that the gov't spends to buy votes, with social welfare systems that fail because they defy subsidiarity, and China holds the debt for the while. Vance is all about creating further subsidies and further government clients, now drawn from the rust belt not inner cities.
I don't think Vance wants permanent welfare for Appalachia, but it would be great if western North Carolina got the same level of assistance as the more politically favored. Although to be fair, even that's not a guarantee. I saw the other day that months later there's still only been a single-digit number of building permits issued in LA after the fires destroyed tens of thousands of buildings.
Most multinational corps now are run by extremely stupid people who are running them into the ground. Some of them are dumb old-growth European Communists, and some are American MBAs, but stupidity is the common denominator.
Well said. Harvard is as rich as Croesus. The salaries of their staff and faculty are astronomical. They can easily afford to fund themselves. DEI is inherently unethical. That they continue to defend that practice destroys any moral authority that they may have had.
Seems to me, it shouldn’t take a threat of that funding removal based on their stupid dei crap. Seems to me, they shouldn’t be funded at all. For any reason. Why, with an intake of 1600.00/second, do they require any funding?
Why yes. They are greedy liars, always have been, and always will try to continue to be.
These people--the Ivy League--have always been awful, awful, awful and they've never been what they've always claimed to be. Not even from the very start. Go have a good laugh by looking up the reaction of the President of Yale at the time (who was also one of the founders of Brown) to the death of Ethan Allen. So much for moral principles and the beneficent influence of a Christian worldview steeped in charity and mercy.
To underscore--they haven't fallen from august heights. They just always got away with it before.
"Nobody's stopping you from giving them money" has become my go-to response to this sort of thing. Even if Harvard couldn't make up the difference by itself, everyone's free to give Harvard as much as they like, if they think the work it's doing is so important.
What's funny is when people outraged by the cuts unthinkingly make the same point -- i.e. fundraising off the fact that they need to make up for the loss of government grants, thus inadvertently proving that those government grants are unnecessary.
And people do step up and donate their own money. The Tulane school of Public health and tropical medicine has a new name, it’s the name of the lady who donated the money to keep it afloat.
On X, someone said that the endowment is severely restricted and can't be used for A, B, C, et al. I asked what is it used for then. No response, of course.
Sounds like Harvard finds itself in a “Go Fund Me” situation. It seems like public money is now, as ever, the quickest, easiest, way to becoming a millionaire (or, in Harvard’s case, a multi-billionaire).
Harvard can quickly cut $450,000 a year. Stop paying Elizabeth Warren that much to teach one class each year. That would be sufficient to keep the refrigerators plugged in.
maybe she's a DEI hire.
Isn't that one of the reasons she got the job?
They could knock another mill off by letting Gay get an honest job.
That’s right. They let her teach for the same salary she had as president.
Well, in all fairness, he might be a hero who donated the freezers he had to keep the MRNA vax at their mandatory (-)70 degree temperature in order to make sure they would remain safe and effective.

I read a Harvard preprint yesterday that may be considered legitimate:

I saw a few places that needed remediation before it gets published. But..Harvard, so who knows. Maybe it was pushed out because nobody can afford to do a thorough non-paid peer review unless the government pays them indirectly.

maybe what they should have done is stop spraying lead arsenate on the fruit trees: https://deeprootsathome.com/the-hidden-history-of-polio-the-disease-that-never-was/
one problem, lead remains in soils for a long time.
They have since addressed birth defects partially by eliminating those so afflicted prior to birth.
yeah i guess so . . . but then they start the brain-damaging vaxxes right away to make up for it
whereas polio was probably just vaccine damage (aka Guillain–Barré), which they gave my mom in 1954 (called "polio")
very interesting - even as a child i always kinda vaguely wondered what the name referred to - thanks.
They used to give out little cardboard "books", with slots to put dimes into, that you could fill with dimes, and then send in. Like those old blue "coin collector" books.

To underscore--they haven't fallen from august heights. They just always got away with it before.
"Nobody's stopping you from giving them money" has become my go-to response to this sort of thing. Even if Harvard couldn't make up the difference by itself, everyone's free to give Harvard as much as they like, if they think the work it's doing is so important.
What's funny is when people outraged by the cuts unthinkingly make the same point -- i.e. fundraising off the fact that they need to make up for the loss of government grants, thus inadvertently proving that those government grants are unnecessary.
And people do step up and donate their own money. The Tulane school of Public health and tropical medicine has a new name, it’s the name of the lady who donated the money to keep it afloat.
I have not yet passed the first paragraph and laughing already, big Cat!
"ejaculations of outrage"
preciously funny. Love it.
“which they are being erected … sleight of hand rooted…”
Turgid prose indeed.
I missed those! Good one.
On X, someone said that the endowment is severely restricted and can't be used for A, B, C, et al. I asked what is it used for then. No response, of course.
A majority of the endowment *is* known to be not liquid, but I don't know the details of what would be necessary to liquify it.
Sounds like Harvard finds itself in a “Go Fund Me” situation. It seems like public money is now, as ever, the quickest, easiest, way to becoming a millionaire (or, in Harvard’s case, a multi-billionaire).
