The resignation makes Gay’s tenure the shortest in the history of the university.

After weeks of mounting evidence that Harvard President Claudine Gay essentially plagiarized her way to the top, Gay announced on Tuesday that she is resigning Tuesday afternoon, the Harvard Crimson reports.

Gay’s resignation — just six months and two days into the presidency — comes amid growing allegations of plagiarism and lasting doubts over her ability to respond to antisemitism on campus after her disastrous congressional testimony Dec. 5.

Gay weathered scandal after scandal over her brief tenure, facing national backlash for her administration’s response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack and allegations of plagiarism in her scholarly work.

This is Claudine Gay’s resignation letter. Rather than take responsibility for minimizing antisemitism, committing serial plagiarism, intimidating the free press, and damaging the institution, she calls her critics racist. This is the poison of DEI ideology. Glad she’s gone. pic.twitter.com/WlqMKLn6pA

The resignation makes Gay’s tenure the shortest in the history of the university. Gay is expected to make a statement about the decision, which came three weeks after the Harvard Corporation – the university’s highest governing body – announced unanimous support for Gay after “extensive deliberations.”

Sounds like they weren’t extensive enough.

Which leaves just one question; how did Gay manage to write something without obvious plagiarism?

*  *  *

Scandal plagued Harvard President Claudine Gay has been hit with an additional six allegations of plagiarism Monday night in a complaint filed with the university, the Washington Free Beacon‘s Aaron Sibarium reports.

This brings the number of allegations against Gay to just under 50 – with seven of Gay’s 17 published works already impacted by the scandal, and now, an eighth!

In a 2001 article, Gay lifts nearly half a page of material verbatim from another scholar, David Canon, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin.  

That article, “The Effect of Minority Districts and Minority Representation on Political Participation in California,” includes some of the most extreme and clear-cut cases of plagiarism yet. At one point, Gay borrows four sentences from Canon’s 1999 book, Race, Redistricting, and Representation: The Unintended Consequences of Black Majority Districts, without quotation marks and with only minor semantic tweaks. She does not cite Canon anywhere in or near the passage, though he does appear in the bibliography. -Free Beacon

While Gay’s footnotes are copied verbatim from Canon’s endnotes. 

Claudine Gay is the Christmas gift that keeps on giving

This scandal is doing more to expose DEI than years of criticism by the right

Hope she never quits

Canon, pledging fealty, insisted that Gay had done nothing wrong.

“I am not at all concerned about the passages,” he told the Beacon. “This isn’t even close to an example of academic plagiarism.“

Oh really?

As journalist Paul Thacker of The Disinformation Chronicle reports, students are held to a much higher standard than Claudine Gay and other academics caught plagiarizing.

3) This is how they “do the scholarship” in the Ivy League, people.

But it gets better. Brand new allegations that Gay had copy and pasted sentences in 7 of her 11 publications then came to light.

— Paul D. Thacker (@thackerpd) December 28, 2023

In just one example, Thacker found a Yale professor who literally sighed their name to a GalaxoSmithKline paper to promote Paxil.

To ensure the professor erased the PR company’s writing involvement, STI prompted her on the cover page: “STI Cover Page – To be removed before submission.”

7) One example: PR company STI was working for GlaxoSmithKline and wrote a paper for a Yale professor to promote Glaxo’s antidepressant, Paxil. To erase the PR company’s writing involvement, STI prompted her on the cover page: “STI Cover Page – To be removed before submission.” pic.twitter.com/U47zo338MN

— Paul D. Thacker (@thackerpd) December 28, 2023

Thacker then lists over a dozen examples of plagiarism and other malarkey he collected from universities in the United States and Canada.

For example…

10) Some of you might be familiar with Timothy Caulfield and his multiple pandemic hot takes.

‘If this isn’t Orwellian I don’t know what is’

An awesome New Year’s Eve celebration at Paris’ historic Arc de Triomphe landmark was diminished by thousands of revelers marking the start of 2024 by filming the countdown on their phones.

A disconcerting video making its rounds on social media depicts the moment thousands ringing in the new year in the capital of France raised their phones to film the countdown, projected onto the upper section of the Arc.

The astonishing sight prompted criticism, with many noting the footage illustrates how phones are causing people to become more detached from reality, making them fail to live in the moment.

“Not a single person living in the moment,” reads the caption of one viral X post.

“This is some dystopian s***,” another person commented, with another adding: “This is so sad, like there will be so many copies online from this why not just enjoy life.”

This is some dystopian shit

— Johannes Walter Reich (@johanneswreich) January 1, 2024

“I stopped doing this,” said another X user. “Why record something that hundreds of others are recording? Someone else has a better recording than you. And you can find it on YouTube or social media. It just doesn’t make sense, put the phone down and enjoy the moment.”

“This clip is absolutely terrifying to me,” said We Are Change’s Luke Rudkowski.

They all missed what they showed up to see.

Looking at those old Dick Clark NYE specials when no one had smartphones. People were hugging, cheering, kissing ‘celebrating’. We’re just all robots now.

If this isn’t Orwellian I don’t know what is

— Crypto Smoothz✝️?? (@databreachez) January 1, 2024

No one jumping around? Celebrating? Kissing? Hugging? High fiving strangers even? Nothing? ??‍♂️

— Jeremy (Not a Canes Insider) ?? (@JeremyRFLA) January 1, 2024

None of those people will ever watch those videos and everyone on social media will skip their posts ?

— FloridaMan.eth ? (@votefloridaman) January 1, 2024

This is AI. It’s gotta be.

That’s 50k people, at least. There isn’t a single outburst in the entire crowd. No one going crazy in the whole frame. The camera is almost too steady.

Look at each phone as it “records.” There’s a luminescent Dr Mario pill at the top of every one.…

The phones are in charge

They just use the humans as a means of transportation

One Frenchman noted bizarre projections of fire on the Arc, asking, “What’s the message? ? it looks like they are announcing hell and what they are going to do to us.”

Hopefully, the footage does not suggest that 2024 will be a year of technological enslavement.

Biden administration doubles down on gaslighting and propaganda.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre started the new year with more lies about how puppet President Joe Biden is really doing all he can to secure the southern border.

Ignoring the hordes of migrants storming the U.S. border in recent weeks, Jean-Pierre claimed border security was at the top of Biden’s priority list from Day 1, but that his Republican counterparts have consistently thwarted his agenda.

“We need to do that,” Jean-Pierre told MSNBC on Tuesday. “We need to continue to work together on border security, right?”

“The president, first day in his administration, in a couple of weeks, we’re going to hit three years since the president [has] been in administration. The first thing that he put forward was a comprehensive immigration law. And that’s what he put forward to Congress. And that’s because he believed that our system was broken and that it had been broken for decades and wanted to take that seriously.”

She went on to claim with a straight face that Republicans have not wanted to work with the administration on a border plan.

“But we need, we need Republicans in Congress to work with us on that. We appreciate the negotiations that’s currently happening in the Senate. It’s headed into the right direction. We want to come up with a bipartisan agreement. But we saw what the House passed ending of last year. They wanted to take away law enforcement folks who are at the border trying to protect our border. And so that’s not what we want to see.”

Jean-Pierre clearly has her work cut out for her propagandizing and spinning reports for the inept Biden administration, as footage from the border continues to show throngs of illegal immigrants invading the country.

Just last week, Jean-Pierre attempted to gaslight the American people saying the hordes of illegals were part of an “ebb and flow” in migration patterns, and claiming it’s “not unusual.”

Of course, Biden himself told illegals to “immediately surge the border” during a 2019 Democrat presidential debate, revealing the current situation was planned long in advance.

Biden tried to tell us…

“I’m going to help them surge the border! They deserve to be heard.” pic.twitter.com/jWuLfWhpTL

As usual, far from admitting the problem, the Biden administration is instead doubling down on its gaslighting and propaganda hoping American voters continue to buy their lies.

Smashing The A.I. Threat Matrix: How Humanity Defeats Skynet

“The proverbial Deep State within the intelligence community will reemerge because presumably a Republican candidate will again be seen as a threat to the internal policies that many intelligence people like,” says Dr. John Gentry.

A former CIA analyst is sounding the alarm about plans by intelligence agencies to get politically involved in the 2024 election to stop the Republican candidate.

Dr. John Gentry, a Georgetown professor who spent 12 years as a CIA intelligence analyst, said the politicization of intelligence agencies in the age of Trump has become a “significant problem” and is confident they will interfere in the 2024 election.

“My guess is that the the proverbial Deep State within the intelligence community will reemerge because presumably a Republican candidate will again be seen as a threat to the internal policies that many intelligence people like,” Gentry told Fox News.

Watch the latest video at foxnews.com

Gentry pointed out how the CIA in a “clearly political” move days before the 2020 election with the “intent to help the Biden campaign” approved a letter penned by 51 former intelligence officials falsely claiming the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop published by the New York Post was “Russian disinformation.”

Gentry said he expects intelligence agencies to resume similar political ploys ahead of the 2024 election.

“I long have thought we are likely to again see former intelligence officers be politically active against Trump or whomever the Republican presidential candidate is next year, and I expect leaking to resume,” Gentry said. “The activities of ‘formers’ have resumed already, a bit before I expected.”

Gentry explained how the CIA and other agencies over the years have become “woke”, especially after the Obama administration accelerated “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” policies.

“It was an effort half a century ago to get more women and minorities into the intelligence community,” Gentry said. “This was done under the rubric of affirmative action. It gradually became more of a policy through the Clinton administration. But it took a significant step forward, or not, depending on your perspective, when President Obama signed an executive order designed to improve diversity and inclusion in the federal workforce.“

Specifically, Gentry said former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper were driving forces of DEI policies in the intelligence community.

Brennan and Clapper were both “very strongly supportive of Obama’s desire to transform the federal workforce, and so they began to accelerate this process and did a number of things from the standpoint of policy actions, in terms of specific recruitment efforts, for example, and they pushed their employees to be more concerned about diversity and inclusion issues and, even in Brennan’s case, to be politically active,” Gentry said.

Gentry went on to claim that the politicization of the agencies driven by the left has demoralized rank-and-file employees within these agencies.

“There are a lot of people who are unhappy about it because it’s politicizing the workforce, and it’s dividing the workforce among people who believe in DEI policies and those who don’t,” Gentry said. 

“And even in the Obama period, the analysis director had people who were beginning to talk about, quote, ‘soft totalitarianism,’” he continued.

“That was a direct result of Brennan’s top-down, politically driven policies; the totalitarianism being a reminder of the Soviet Union and China and so on. Well, this has a number of effects in terms of performance and in terms of credibility.”

“So, put all these things together, and I’m pretty confident that we’ll see a reemergence of activism,” Gentry added.

Soon after Joe Biden captured the White House in Jan. 2021, Time Magazine published an article explaining how a “well-funded cabal” of “powerful people” launched a “shadow campaign” to subvert the 2020 election to prevent Trump from getting reelected by “changing laws, steering media and controlling information.”

But don’t worry, the establishment is only interfering with democracy to protect democracy!

For the New Year, Congress should resolve to end the stranglehold of the military-industrial complex by reining in out-of-control military spending.

In the closing days of 2023, the Biden Administration once again announced a large military aid package for Ukraine, this time a “mere” quarter of a billion dollars. Without a new authorization of funds from Congress, it is said to be the last bit of money left over from the more than $100 billion already authorized by Congress for the proxy war with Russia through Ukraine.

President Biden’s request for an additional $100 billion to spread around Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan was rejected by a Congress eager for its winter break, and with each passing day it looks like it’s going to be harder to push it through. Poll after poll show that Americans are increasingly opposed to more of their money being spent on the neocon’s lost-cause war to overthrow Putin in Russia.

For example, a recent Fox News poll revealed that more than 60 percent of Republican voters do not want any more money sent to Ukraine. As we enter an election year, it’s probably safe to predict that Republican candidates will be wary of crossing the wishes of the clear majority of voters.

That is why the Biden Administration has been desperately trying to re-frame its request for more Ukraine war money as anything but a request for more Ukraine war money. For example, they even brought back the old discredited “domino theory” used to justify US actions in the Vietnam war. If we don’t stop Putin in Ukraine, Biden said in December, then he will keep going into western Europe where we will be forced to fight him there.

On the one hand, supporters of the Ukraine war warn that Russia is about to reconstitute the Soviet empire in Europe, while at the same time the same people tell us Russia is out of missiles and on its last leg. One more infusion of US money will end the “Russian threat” once and for all. Both of these things cannot be true at once. In fact, neither of them is true.

But still the Administration, much of Congress, and an insatiable military-industrial complex keep selling the lies.

Last month Secretary of State Antony Blinken inadvertently revealed what exactly all the spending for war is about when he stated that as much as 90 percent of the aid for Ukraine is actually spent in the United States. The money is used “to the benefit of American business, local communities, and strengthening the US defense industrial base,” he said in an interview. In other words, the money “for Ukraine” is actually a massive welfare program for well-connected military contractors back home.

As we begin the year 2024, we need to home in on the real threat to the United States. It is not Russia or China or Iran. The true threat is closer to home: it is a corrupt system that bleeds the country dry to fight imaginary enemies while enriching the military-industrial complex.

For the New Year, Congress should resolve to end the stranglehold of the military-industrial complex by reining in out-of-control military spending. Members should simply vote “no” on military spending bills until they are drafted to benefit the American people rather than the Beltway elite. I don’t hold out much hope of this happening in the short run, but it only takes a few dedicated Members to make a real difference.
