What todays college activism is all about; And the revolt against the empireJon Rappoport In the 1960s, there was a fearful and terrible thing called college activism. It was fearful and terrible for the US war machine, during the Vietnam disaster. From that moment, the establishment decided: this must never happen again. Flash forward to today. Political movements on college campusesmany of them funded by college cashare all about anything and everything EXCEPT a revolt against: The State; The war machine; Destructive mega-corporations. This is no accident. Its a large op. A diversionary op. Student groups on campuses are pitted against each other as they battle for college funding. Students operate under a cloud of government loans so huge they have to preoccupy themselves with a future in which they are basically debtors, trying to pay off the $. As a result of multiple Globalist treaties (e.g., NAFTA, GATT, and the upcoming TPP), the job market in the US is deeply depressed. Therefore, debtor students have to focus on strategies for landing employment after graduation. Millions of students are inevitably wrapped up in college courses which, in one form or another, are bankrolled by corporate and government money. The subliminal message: dont rock the boat; dont bite the hand that feeds you; dont revolt against The Machine. Here are some approved issues about which you are permitted to protest. Go to it. But dont step outside the line. On top of all this, corporate and government money, which drives the agendas of many college teaching departments, results in curriculum slanted toward officially approved ideas, concepts, paradigms. The result? Students are programmed within narrow parameters. The good news is: its darkest before the dawn. There are students around the world who can see through all this insanity. They know their education and their college experience are being tilted, slanted, directed, and reduced. They can imagine something else. Theyre at an age where shoot-for-the-moon still has vivid meaning. A locked-down society isnt their dream. They can turn the op around and begin investigating their own colleges and universities. They can follow the money and find out where its coming from. They can expose their schools as arms of the Corporate State. They can support those few professors who buck the tide. In my previous article, I strongly suggested a target: Monsanto. That mega-corp has its hands and money deep in the entrails of many colleges. The corruption is foul. It can be rooted out. Life is never what it seems to be, unless the order of the day is Surrender. There are always new roads and new possibilities. Most people dont want to know about that. But some do. Theyre the rebels against the empire.
