Not in my lifetime,” I used to think when contemplating America’s decline and fall—a decline and fall I eagerly anticipate as a prelude to remaking our crumbly republic such that it stands for the ideals it professes to uphold but unreservedly ignores. Blind justice, disinterested leaders and institutions, tolerance of others, freedom of thought and speech, a Jeffersonian respect for reason and knowledge: Those who come after me will see the imperium’s collapse and will begin the work of restoration, but not I.

So I long assumed. And so does the pace of events suggest I may well be wrong. Things I used to think would take, maybe, 20 years now occur in five or six or seven. If I reckoned some turn of history’s wheel was a decade out, what do you know but that it now seems hard upon us.

Decline and fall. It is not pleasant to live in such a time as ours, but it is, as the Chinese are credited with saying (or was it the Arabs?) interesting. Let us not, as we accept our fate, lose sight of the optimism within the apparent pessimism.

On May 2 the House passed a bill that, broadly speaking, defines as “antisemitic” any criticism of Israel, or—heaven forbid!—disapproval of Israel as a “Jewish state.” The kookier House members have been trying to get this rationally disconnected piece of legislation to the floor for eight years. The House now sends the Antisemitism Awareness Act to the Senate on a 320–to–19 vote.

As if to second the House’s intent, President Biden announced, a May 7 event marking the Holocaust Memorial Museum’s annual remembrance day, a series of new legal and administrative measures to counter the nonexistent crisis of antisemitism that now overtakes the U.S. the way a Communist takeover did in the 1950s. Will someone explain why we hear daily about all this antisemitism but cannot see anything of it more than the odd, unalarming case—the everyday here-and-there variety? Someone, anyone?

This is an assault on reason, language, law—and even that highest of American “values”—common sense. It is a sign of American weakness and further advances this weakness. I would ask what the people pushing this bill are thinking, but the question implies an assumption one ought not make.

On Monday an interesting new website called Zeteo published a letter 12 Republican senators signed and sent to the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, in response to the ICC’s reported-but-unconfirmed plans to serve various Israeli officials, among them Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with arrest warrants charging them with war crimes in Gaza. You have to read this to believe it, and you can do so here. “Target Israel and we will target you,” the letter reads. “If you move forward with the measures indicated in the report, we will move to end all American support for the ICC, sanction your employees and associates, and bar you and your families from the United States.”

And then the much-remarked punchline: “You have been warned.”

Think about this. This missive is an outright rejection of international law. At the same time, we see in it an imperium that broods in a defensive crouch, waging rearguard actions as 21st century realities arrive. There are only 12 signatories, and they include such Ciceros as Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio. But do not kid yourself: Their letter reflects a strong and prevalent current of opinion in Washington—even, I would say, among Democrats such as Chris Van Hollen, who thought the letter, if not its sentiments, “thuggery befitting the Mafia.”

What strikes me most of all about the senators’ letter is this: Those purporting to lead this nation are very little interested any longer, if they are interested at all, in what the rest of the world thinks of America—or even what Americans think of America. Power is all the late-phase imperium has left to rely upon. And power alone in any of its three principal forms—military power, coercion, and bribery—is not fated, present circumstances notwithstanding, to define the era that is hard upon us.

We are talking about decline and fall. This is what it looks like, piece by piece, perversity following perversity. It is often announced with bold assertions of authority by people who presume to make law as it suits them but stand above it—what scholars, beginning with Carl Schmitt, the Nazi theoretician, call “the state of exception.”

The most startling events of the past few months, approaching a climax as we speak, concern what is now a prevalent effort to destroy America’s colleges and universities as independent institutions of higher learning. It is true, as some have remarked, that the confrontations on American campuses, and may they continue, are not to be taken as the main event. The main event remains the Israeli–U.S. genocide prompting students across the country—and the Western world at this point—to pitch tents and demonstrate in support of the Palestinian cause.

As I type these sentences, the early Tuesday bulletins arrive, reporting that the Israelis have shut the two crossings in southern Gaza, Rafah and Kerem Shalom, that serve as lifelines for Palestinians in need of aid and medical treatment. It does not get more barbaric, except that, in the Israeli case, it consistently does.

But with these developments bitterly in mind, we should recognize the meaning and gravity of the vicious responses—state and private—to the honorable displays of principle, integrity, and clear thinking we witness on American university campuses. In any imperium’s late phase, all institutions are required to serve the state and the reigning ideology. This is a structural reality, an historical imperative, that is rarely remarked upon but easily identified nonetheless. We have already witnessed this coerced enlistment in the cases of corporate media, previously independent courts, nongovernmental organizations, and all manner of cultural institutions—book publishers, libraries, museums, the Hollywood studios. Now it is the turn of the colleges and universities.

In this late phase of decline, no one or no entity is permitted to stand beyond the fence posts in the name of independent thought or free speech. The special gravity of this when tertiary education is the target cannot be overstated. Destroy colleges and universities as sanctuaries of uncircumscribed, purposefully exploratory thought and speech—academic freedom in the common parlance—and you are a good way along to destroying the nation’s intellectual dynamism, and so the nation’s future.

Here is an exceptionally well-crafted segment of the Al Jazeera program called Listening Post, broadcast over the weekend under the headline, “The problem with the coverage of the U.S. campus protests.” Look at the footage, especially of the police—local police departments, state police, highway patrol units, campus police. If there is a term for this other than state repression, I cannot think of it.

Listen to the commentary. It is clear, analytic, grounded in reality, professional, dispassionate, more or less spotlessly objective. It is near to impossible to find footage of campus events this bold, this balanced, this undoctored, and it is absolutely impossible to find analysis and commentary of this insight and honesty in American media.

On American screens we instead see this presentation—the ne plus ultra in television coverage last week—in a segment of Inside Politics, Dana Bash’s CNN program. Let me go back to that list of attributes just mentioned. This piece is neither clear nor analytic nor grounded in reality nor professional nor dispassionate, and it does not even pretend to objectivity. It is one coerced institution that has succumbed to the state and its ideology doing its bit to help coerce another into submission. Nothing more.

“We start with destruction, violence and hate on college campuses across the country,” Bash begins. After a couple of minutes of paranoia-pumping, this, in Bash’s italicized delivery: “Protesting the way the Israeli government, the Israeli prime minister, is prosecuting the retaliatory war against Hamas is one thing. Making Jewish students feel unsafe at their own schools is unacceptable, and it is happening way too much right now.”

Then a video clip of a Jewish UCLA student, who, it is perfectly obvious, does not feel the slightest unsafe, as he tries to argue his way past a picket line to his class. Then Bash again: “What you just saw is 2024 in Los Angeles, harkening back to the 1930s in Europe. And I do not say that lightly.

Jiminy Cricket.

If Dana Bash’s May 1 program was egregious, it also reflected the rest of corporate media. Can you beat the spectacle of boastfully liberal broadcasters and newspapers cheering the suppression of free speech and free inquiry—attacking, this is to say, one of the most fundamental institutions sustaining a liberal order? Media opposition to “free speech fundamentalists” is not a new phenomenon, true, but it worsens as it carries over into educational institutions. The only thing I liked about the Bash segment was her introduction of the old “outside agitators” theme. What fun. She dredged this straight out of the John Birch catechism and sent me on a weirdly amusing walk straight down memory lane.

To stay briefly with the matter of media, I found it just as concerning, if not more so, to read last week that The Real News Network has canceled The Chris Hedges Report. Why?

Well, if you want to list journalists of high professional standards whose integrity is exemplary, it will be short, yes, but Hedges would have to be on it. His dismissal at the hands of people who couldn’t, as we used to say, change his typewriter ribbon is something approaching obscene. Though Hedges was told that an interview he did with a Congressional candidate threatened the station’s nonprofit status, in my understanding knees wobbled at TRNN because Hedges is consistently critical of the Biden regime and the genocide it sponsors, thus jeopardizing Biden’s chances in the election this November. Those running the network folded.

It has been a long, long time since corporate media, from The New York Times on down (or over), surrendered their sovereignty, their status as an independent pole of power, to the reigning ideology. This is a sort of “mission accomplished” for the national security state. So far as I can make out, and I am not going to make a study of The Real News Network, its treatment of Chris Hedges is symptomatic of the creep of the liberal authoritarians into independent media. The Dana Bash Monster, let’s say, appears to be drawing nearer. This is an increasing worry now. The No. 1 task of these media now, what they must get done before they do anything else, is to refuse to serve the state and the neoliberal ideology.

Conservatives in Congress have long planned an attack on universities in the cause of suppressing academic freedom. And it has been evident since last December, when they held those McCarthyesque hearings prior to demanding the dismissal of the presidents of Penn and Harvard, that they have identified the Gaza crisis and the antisemitism shuck as the opportunity they had waited for.

The abiding desire is to defund colleges and universities that do not conform to the way they see the world. We now read that four members of the House have begun investigations into the fantastical crisis of rampant antisemitism among university demonstrators.

What struck me last fall, and keeps on striking me now, are the intrusions of very wealthy donors into questions of academic freedom. This started among University of Pennsylvania graduates, when numerous of them either threatened to withhold donations, or did so, because Penn administrators defended academic freedom instead of agreeing to suppress those at the university—students and faculty—who stood against a genocide and in favor of the Palestinian cause.

Last week another such donor announced he would stop supporting Brown University, his alma mater, after the administration agreed to negotiate with student leaders on the question of divesting endowment funds from companies profiting from Israel’s various atrocities. The most determined of these intruders—O.K., the most obnoxious—is William Ackman, who pledges to use his money to go after media as well as universities that do not conform to his way of looking at the world. “I fix things,” he told Fortune magazine in an interview published in January. “This is just fixing things.”

Look at this list, which is very partial. David Magerman (Penn, hedge fund billionaire), Cliff Asness (same), Mark Rowan (Penn, private equity), Ronald Lauder (Penn, the cosmetics empire), Barry Sternlicht (Brown, real estate), William Ackman (Harvard, hedge funds). We now have money people and a landlord—yes, a landlord—purporting to dictate how institutions of higher learning run themselves: what they teach, how it is taught, what can be said or thought and what cannot. It is beyond unconscionable.

Michael Massing, the writer and journalist, published “How to Cover the One Percent,” a brilliant piece on the fraud of “disinterested philanthropy,” in The New York Review of Books back in 2016. There is no such thing as disinterested giving, he argued with plenty of evidence. Leaving private wealth to support institutions in the public sphere—universities, museums, public broadcasting, what have you—is at bottom a way of controlling public discourse—and so a method of political, social and (most of all) ideological control. This is what Massing meant.

A few commentators remarked, as the Israel–U.S. genocide proceeded, that Israel would prove the downfall of the West. The principles by which it, the West, purported to live, its old, old claim to global superiority: backing the hideous apartheid state would leave all this a shambles. And now it is plain. Law, language, free thought, knowledge: In all such spheres, Israel is taking down what is called the liberal order. One cannot be altogether surprised: The state of Israel was an unworkable fallacy, funded on cruelty and intolerance, from the start.

“But the utility of intelligence is admitted only theoretically, not practically,” Bertrand Russell wrote in a wonderful essay, 102 years ago, called “Free Thought and Official Propaganda.” “It is not desired that ordinary people should think for themselves, because it is felt that people who think for themselves are awkward to manage and cause administrative problems.”

We should consider this as we think about the students and the attacks on them from many quarters, about the Dana Bashes corporate media push at us, about the attempted sabotage of Chris Hedges’ work, about the nonsensical laws moving through the House, about the corrupted language deployed in the antisemitism-everywhere routine, about the attacks on institutions of learning. What is under siege in all such cases is our knowledge and our intelligence. We are not supposed to see and think about these things as they are.

It is by far best that we do—to see and think, to guard our intelligence. Then we will know our time for what it is, as it moves so swiftly along.

    Needs repeating, and often, at that.

    As comforting as it is to see so many here conscious of the realities of our political world, such consciousness typically carries with it the hard realization that most of us seem powerless to affect meaningful change in the ominous status quo, a realization that often leads to pessimistic despair.

    I’m pleased to see Lawrence speak of America as a ‘late stage empire’, comparing it to other such polities that have gone before as a means of allowing us to see the greater historical picture: the collapse of the American regime will invariably result in that of Israel, the parasite that has afflicted us for all too long.

    It’s a hard road ahead, but one that must be traveled to reach a more promising destination.

  2. Lincoln’s “house divided” speech comes to mind, because the system today is again where it was in 1858, and we cannot go on pretending that it is worth preserving as half of one thing and half of another. We must meet and pass another “great national trial” before we can hope for a “new birth of freedom.” Our belief in freedom and self-government is too strong to ever abandon, but it has been distracted (and even perverted) for a long time by the same kind of ill-designing oligarchs whom Lincoln confronted in his day. The fall of empire is essential, for it creates the space for the restored republic to fill.

    House GOP drafting Biden impeachment articles over Israel aid cutoff threat
    ‘The House has no choice but to impeach President ‘Quid pro Joe’ Biden,’ says Rep Cory Mills
    By Elizabeth Elkind Fox News

    FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., is preparing impeachment articles against President Biden over his threat to halt U.S. offensive aid to Israel, the first-term lawmaker told Fox News Digital on Thursday.

    Mills accused Biden of forcing Israel into a “quid pro quo” situation by leveraging U.S. dollars against the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza, drawing parallels to Democrats’ first impeachment of former President Trump over his handling of Ukraine aid.

    “The House has no choice but to impeach President ‘Quid pro Joe’ Biden.

    This fellow lives in a fantasy world. Every university, every academic to the last man (save Arthur Butz) has supported and promoted the most absurd and greatest hoax (save Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) in the history of the human race . This hoax is the primary cause of the wars in the ME and the ongoing genocide in Palestine, and the proximate cause of the incredibly dire situation the world is in now because of the looming war with Russia. The universities have been prime players in the creation of the fantasy world in which the greatest accomplishment of the greatest generation was to design, develop, and deploy the Doomday machine that can destroy civilization. It can’t get any more upside-down than that.

    if you look at the history of the west and especially the US you see a steady flow of genocide culminating in the current slaughter of innocents by vermin in somewhat human form (or its inverse in the russian “cleansing” of azov bros). the only thing that has changed is the reacton to said atrocity by the subspecies of human actually deserving of the name – who, for any “unwashed masses” faults they may have don’t bury children alive and steal organs.

    in the 1930/40s WWII era people may have known about the plight of russians (plus any other slavs), jews, gypsies and anyone else on the wrong end of an SS or banderite rifle but they gave zero sh_ts. that’s just how it was. it’s not like they had 1080p footage of the carnage.

    it’s like the west’s hoi polloi are just now realizing killing brown people for land isn’t a great “look”. if they grow some balls and build some guillotines they may put the other dominant but sparsely populated subspecies of “human” in their place.

  16. “A few commentators remarked, as the Israel–U.S. genocide proceeded, that Israel would prove the downfall of the West.”

    Great article but somehow it evades focusing on the powerful source behind the censoring of free speech and totalitarian policies.

    The corrupt politicians like Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio and Tom Cotton will not be bribed by Israel but by the “donor class”. 95% of the media that is censoring the genocide and falsely accusing the college student is not pressured by Netanyahoo who has no real power, the power he does use is granted by global organized Jewry. That is who is behind the destruction of our freedom of speech and assembly.

    I understand that it probably wasn’t Voltaire who said: “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” But it is such a important point that it needs repeating.

    The lies we hear about the genocide, the college protests, the ridiculous comments and legislation passed by corrupt politicians are now and have for a very long time been the work of organized Jewry. And yet, articles like this talk in generalities and euphemisms like “imperium’s late phases” “serving the state and reigning ideology”. We have been in a decline for, at the very least, 30 years due mostly due to the actions of the neocons, globalists, elite, cosmopolitan class, donor class or otherwise known as global organized Jewry. How is it that after 6 months of the slaughter on an industrial scale of Palestinian women and children, the heads of state of Britain, France, Germany and Italy all flew to Israel to support Netanyahoo and his genocide?

    Perhaps Washington had Israel in mind.

    Thanks Muh Muh and I agree with you. As more of us become aware and tuned to the evil around us, we become insulators and less and less conductors to the movement of evil.
    The Petrodollar system was established to maintain the supply of oil to the US at a great cost to the tax payer and at a great profit to the oligarchs. Israel played the role of the hammer, anybody that came up must be hammered down.

    Today the US is a net producer of oil and with sufficient resources and a workforce capable of delivering if it would be trained and economically maintained. It happened once before when the Christians ran the country.
    It is logical to deduce that the maintenance of the Petrodollar is a diminishing return and at the very least unnecessary at least for the US. When the Petrodaller is over and done so will the need for Israel the hammer.
    Then Israel will be told you are on your own and have to make peace with your neighbors. In addition, when our students become our leaders and realize the damages done by zionists, they will not assist Israel, for there will be no reason for it or lost love.
    Then zionists will face half a billion Arabs without anyone coming to their aid, they will leave if smart. Then we will have a tabula rasa or a clean slate.

  27. One slap at the students is that they are “Marxist” in nature. That they are the same as those of the BLM/ANTIFA strain that rioted in ’20. This while saying they want to destroy Jews and Israel.

    But, a raw look at “Marxism” reveals that Marx and Engels were Jews. Most of the Bolsheviks were Jews. Soviet Palestine was a Jewish project in 1919-1921. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(Mandatory_Palestine)

    After the fall of the Soviet Union massive numbers of Jews fled to Israel. Israeli Kibbutz is nothing less than a communist housing project.

    Yet, those students are anti-Semitic while being Marxist/Communists which is a Jewish political philosophy.

  28. Why is it difficult to sympathise with the Mohammedan settlers in the Holy Land and the Qazawis in particular ?

    1_They celebrate every year the fall of Constantinople.
    2_They applaud the desecration of Christian churches in Turkey by Erdogan and his followers.
    3_They dream of reconquering Spain to restore the criminal past glory of the Mohammedan invaders.
    4_They dream of capturing Rome to realise the prophesy of Mohammed, the founder and prophet of Mohammedanism.
    5_They dream of taking control of the Holy Land and giving ISIS treatment to the Jewish and Christian owners of the land.
    6_Since they consider Mohammedanism as the only true religion they are led to believe that even their non-Mohammedan sympathiser would directly go to hell. Poor Annamaria !!

    Three suggestions:

    1. Take your website offline until you finish it.
    2. While you are working on it, make sure that links are set. At first, all I saw was one small page of rhetoric and had to hunt to find the Project Page. For those who haven’t located it yet, here is the link: https://www.mccarthyplan.com/project-page
    3. Don’t promote that you have worked for politicians. That is an immediate red flag in some quarters. Besides, it does not look good on your resume.

    Now, as to your list of things to accomplish, if I wanted to, I could pick that apart all day long, but your proclamations are safe from my criticism…for the most part. However, I will go after the one which I found to be the worst, #24, as copied below.

    “Any philosophy, mystery school or religion, publicly promoted, that regards those that do not adhere to its doctrine or beliefs, as being less than fully human and not worthy of full respect as a fellow human being, may be criminalized.”

    Please define what you mean by “publicly promoted”. That could be a conversation between as few as two persons. Do you really want to go down that road?

    Let me get this straight. If you hold to a philosophy, teaching of a mystery school (I had to look that up and will not promote it), or religion which tends to denigrate and look down upon other human beings because they do not fully subscribe to your doctrines and beliefs, is subject to prosecution and punishment.

    Wow! The world is going to need more prison cells. Or guillotines.

    In other words, you will not be allowed to say what you really think about many of your fellow human travelers. If enacted and enforced rigorously, it would immediately take out at least half, probably more, of the commenters on The Unz Review. I would be included as well because I preach a philosophy of anarchy and individual sovereignty which has nothing good to say about politicians, bureaucrats, and statists of all types.

    Now, whether you think that others are your equals, above your station, or well below it, is a matter of personal opinion and you should be able to express that opinion as you wish. It does not mean that you are correct in your beliefs, but you do have the right to talk about them without fear of punishment by law.

    The truth is we live in a highly abusive mind-controlled dystopia where peoples thoughts, words and actions are largely predetermined by an information system controlled by powerful plutocrats and empire managers, and the genius of it is that it controls us to a greater degree than overt tyranny ever could while at the same time giving us the collective delusion that we are free.

    The Tikvah organization has been in my sights for several months, starting in Fall 2023 when Tikvah held a conference aimed at “young Jews” to keep them strong in their “love” for Israel and to train them up as the “new leaders” of “Jewish civilization” and the “renewal of Western civilization.”

    Elliott Abrams was chair (or director or something like that) of that project. Participants included Leon Kass, Ruth Wisse, Larry Arnn of Hillsdale College.

    In the aftermath of the conference, the “young Jewish” target audience was urged to consider and be leaders in the “renewal of universities in the US” and, indeed, “leaders in renewal of Western Civilization,” to which they would commit their “manifold gifts.”

    Recently, Tikvah has taken a more urgent turn, toward Exodus.

    The anti-Israel encampments …force us to confront the moral confusion that plagues so much of higher education. This assault on Jews and Israel is also an assault on America and the West.

    Can our most prestigious universities be saved, or is it time to build new centers of learning that advance our noblest Jewish and American values?
    Are these storied institutions of higher learning worthy of our children, our creativity, and our support, or is it time for an exodus?

    Exodus you say?

    This time, leave the gold and silver, if you please.
    And if you feel compelled to slay leadership of the nation that harbored you for so many years and gave you the best lands, don’t bother with Biden, he’s Dead Man Walking. Wipe out Congress & Senate if you’re so inclined (sparing a few).

    But by all means, Go.

    But the presumption that Jews are the suitable guardians of “Western Civilization” — don’t even think about it. Stew in your own juice, and take it with you. We’ll do fine with our own cuisine, thanks.

    What Tikvah is telegraphing is this: Having reached the limits of market-saturation, the Jewish brand has lost its luster; exceeded its shelf-life. The audience has figured out the slick movements behind the Magic Show.
    The Goy Know.

    Dana Bash was not that far off-base with the reference to 1930s Germany.
    I view Kristallnacht as a operation led by zionist Jews (Mossad el-Aliyeh bet) to frighten the remnant of German Jews who had hitherto refused to leave Germany, to get out of town: Jewish leadership knew what was coming next: even before Kristallnacht, Henry Morgenthau, Jr. had convinced FDR to start building planes; had already begun extracting income taxes from wage-earners; young German Jews had already begun migrating to USA and to train as anti-German spies and saboteurs at Fort Ritchie in Maryland.

    Similarly, constantly blaring the 3,970,641% spike in antisemitism, not to mention the attacks on Jewish eyeballs, are calculated to induce young Jews to do something outside their comfort-zone but in compliance with the needs and demands of the managers of the transgenerational criminal gang, to borrow Jeff Gates’s term.

    That transgenerational criminal gang of zionists has a laughably limited playbook.

    I’ve never played or coached sports, so wiser strategists than I will have to put their talents to the task:

    How to respond to this coming, next iteration of the scam/scheme of the transgenerational criminal gang?

  60. It’s painfully obvious that Americans are literally slaves of the Jews.

    2016 Presidential Election: Judah had planned for Ted Cruz to be the Republican nominee. Cruz’s wife had been given an executive position at Goldman Sachs. She stepped down to hide this connection. Goldman Sachs then promptly funded the Cruz campaign. It appeared that the plan was that after Cruz won the nomination, the Jewish controlled media would release evidence of Cruz’s involvement in extra-marital sexual liasons with various women. Ultimately, Hillary Clinton, an individual in which Israel was heavily invested in, was to be victor, but Trump’s popularity derailed all of this. The careful placement of certified Israeli asset Hillary Clinton in the position of President of the United States was a major operation and innocent American lives were taken (human sacrifices) along the way, to achieve this Judean goal. It is no wonder that the Jews are still furious with the outcome and are continuing to use the American justice system to punish Trump and his supporters. They are within reach of jailing any White person, anywhere in the world, who criticizes Judah.

    Trump 2024: It is ridiculous to assume that Jeffrey Epstein was the only individual running a sexual blackmail operation for Israel. Recently, President Trump has shifted from America first, to Jewish first, and it seems puzzling. There is some connection between Trump and Salomon Melgen, a person suspected of running an operation in Florida very similar to that of Epstein’s.

    I had read a conspiracy theory on this subject, but I cannot find this on the Web, now. The theory stated that Trump has been hosted by Dr. Melgen, in Florida. Here are two remaining links of interest:

    “• Recovery from significant long-term national decline is rare and difficult to detect in the historical record. …

    • The United States may be entering a period requiring the kind of anticipatory national renewal that we found in several historical cases …

    • Several common factors appear to distinguish cases of successful anticipatory renewal from failures. …

    • The United States does not yet appear to be demonstrating widespread shared recognition of societal challenges or determination to reform and change in key issue areas. …

    The most startling events of the past few months, approaching a climax as we speak, concern what is now a prevalent effort to destroy America’s colleges and universities as independent institutions of higher learning.

    Is that a (f’ing) joke?

    …Now it is the turn of the colleges and universities.

    In this late phase of decline, no one or no entity is permitted to stand beyond the fence posts in the name of independent thought or free speech. The special gravity of this when tertiary education is the target cannot be overstated. Destroy colleges and universities as sanctuaries of uncircumscribed, purposefully exploratory thought and speech—academic freedom in the common parlance—and you are a good way along to destroying the nation’s intellectual dynamism, and so the nation’s future.

    which planet from which solar system have you been living on?

    during my lifetime, (the last 60+ years) has there been an unfettered debate on such issues as the ‘Holocaust’, or racial or gender realities in America’s universities? Do the universities allow unfettered intellectual discussion and debate about Climate Justice, or Covid or Putin’s ‘unprovoked aggression’? How many political science professors at those universities have been declaring (the obvious) – that Obama and Hillary are unambiguous war criminals, as are (obviously) Cheney and Bush and many, many others. But as near as I can tell, there is an iron pall over all discussion, (like ((9/11))), whereby no one dares push the ((Overton window)) that even entertains actual conservative (honest, traditional) values ~ (like the idea that treasonous war criminals should be talked about by our intellectuals, and justice sought after).

    ….Conservatives in Congress have long planned an attack on universities in the cause of suppressing academic freedom.

    You write conservatives without quotation marks. I consider myself a nominal conservative in the traditional sense, and no scum on this planet are more egregiously outside of the tenets of that conservatism that these Republican Zionist whores in D.C.

    While I agree generally with you vis-a-vis the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and the larger questions of Zionst control of our governments and media and police forces, etc.., it seems you’re just realizing it now, because for all those decades, you’ve been fine with the Orwellian anti-free-speech policies of our universities, when those policies shut out actual conservative perspectives and suited your narrow perspectives, huh?

    when they held those McCarthyesque hearings

    McCarthy was right, (obviously).

    The abiding desire is to defund colleges and universities that do not conform to the way they see the world.

    ♫♪♪ ‘How does it feel?’ ♫♪

    Here’s a clue: The universities, (in my lifetime) have *never* tolerated, (let alone conformed) to the way actual conservatives see the world. That you’re just discovering that they’re intolerant, at this very late date, is quite telling, actually.

    What struck me last fall, and keeps on striking me now, are the intrusions of very wealthy donors into questions of academic freedom. This started among University of Pennsylvania …

    You didn’t suspect something was rotten, when it was revealed that a serial child rapist was being coddled at the Penn State athletic department? A scandal so pervasive that even the president and vice president of the University had to resign in disgrace?

    Additionally, three Penn State officials – school president Graham Spanier, vice president Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley – were charged with perjury, obstruction of justice, failure to report suspected child abuse, and related charges

    from Wiki

    They all knew this monster was raping little boys wholesale, for many years it went on, and they said nothing.

    This is the kind of thing that alerted a true conservative like myself, that our universities are simply bastions of liberalism, like the massacre at Waco, TX, taught me all I needed to know about liberal, progressive Democrats, who- to this day coddle the murderous, treasonous fiend Bill Clinton and his wife, who were in the White House, and were responsible for that (and other) atrocities. Not a problem for liberals, but a big, *big* problem for actual conservatives.

    —yes, a landlord—purporting to dictate how institutions of higher learning run themselves: what they teach, how it is taught, what can be said or thought and what cannot. It is beyond unconscionable.

    what’s beyond tragic, is that you’re just realizing this now

    I suppose better late than never.

    A few commentators remarked, as the Israel–U.S. genocide proceeded, that Israel would prove the downfall of the West

    If anything, the downfall of Israel, (and the Zionist Jewish supremacist Satanic cabal controlling the West’s institutions), would be the salvation of the West. Zionism and the true West, are mutually exclusive, just as Tom Cotton and true conservative Americans are mutually exclusive.

    What we, and the rest of the world must start to do, is examine the degree of Jewish supremacist subversion and corruption of our governments and institutions, because that is what has led directly to the events in Gaza, and the corrupt, treasonous whores in congress, (on both sides of the isle) who’ve been facilitating wars for Israel from before I was alive.

    That some people are just now discovering that there’s an Orwellian pall over honest inquiry at our universities, just goes to show how insidious has been the corruption that’s been going on for generations. And indeed, if they continue to refuse to speak of the problem, (powerful Jews and their insidious corrosion of our institutions), and instead try to blame “conservatives”, then that will only push the problem down the road, and the rubble on top of more children.

    I would surmise that the jews are finally seeing the “handwriting on the wall” yet have no where to go to find a truly receptive “audience”. Jews are used to getting whatever they want without opposition, that not being the case presently.
    The jews have “overplayed” their hand and are starting to realize it.
    No amount of support from tel aviv will be enough to temper the criticism that the jews are receiving for the genocide that their fellow jews are committing. They cannot justify the outright genocide that they are responsible for.
    Of course, the “israel-firsters” are attempting to “put the genie back in the bottle” by attempting to pass unconstitutional legislation to protect the jews from the righteous anger and groundswell of non-support for their actions in Gaza and the West Bank that they are experiencing.

    while this libtard seems convinced that for the last several decades our universities have been bastions of free-speech and unfettered intellectual inquiry.

    when the liberal is the guy standing,

    he’s quite content and convinced that the relationship he’s having with the conservative in the chair, is altogether proper and fair.

When these institutions teach how to steamroll over people, squeeze blood from stones, get something without giving, get rich on the backs of poor, ruin the planet with irresponsible “science” that thinks nothing of the future or the inhabitants of it, well…..who needs it?

  73. Of all the Jewish tricks, perhaps none have fooled more goyim than the false dialectic. You see, the Jew has a deep instinctual compulsion to manage opposing ideologies within society. This is evident when observing clowns like Norman Finkelstein and Gabor Mate take up the cause of anti-Zionism, while at the same time utterly failing to expose Jewish diaspora political power at the root of Zionism. The truth is, the vast majority of Jews are foaming at the mouth insane ethnic chauvinists that totally approve of the genocide in Gaza, and from this perspective, Netanyahu is a moderate.

    Now that we know the Jews love dialectics, maybe it’s time to rethink this whole communism versus capitalism thing. Is it now not obvious these two paradigms are two sides of the same Jewish coin? Are Jews not collectivists? Tussle one hair on one precious Jew’s head, and they all cry out in pain as if each was sucker punched in his own solar plexus. Does the torah not command the Jews to rule the world through the practice of usury? There it is, usury and collectivism, capitalism and communism. In one word: Judaism.

    either way, this poor deluded fellow seems to believe our universities were free-thinking bastions of unfettered inquiry, up until the Gaza protests. Which are being cracked-down on and condemned by “conservatives”, only he doesn’t put quotes on the word, which means he thinks (the ultimate enemies of conservatism); Mitt and Hagee- are conservatives.

    As you know, there is a concerted campaign to paint the Gaza protests as being little more than BLM and Antifa riots, which they aren’t. If they were, I’d be the first person to mock them. (George Floyd was not murdered by a racist cop, and ‘Hands up, don’t shoot’, is a lie).

    The Gaza protests are based on the truth, that Israel is a racial supremacist (on acid), murderous, genocidal state. And has been since it’s depraved and iniquitous inception. Duh, I know.

    And so all people of good faith and decency, should be supporting these protests, and condemning the draconian crack-downs by ZOG’s whores. But then right on cue, we have these whores of Zion trying to paint the protests as Antifa goons, or BLM losers, in a transparent attempt to de-legitimize them in the minds of actual conservatives, who rightly have no patience for BLM or your typical university shitlib- who calls all Deplorables = Nazis and white supremacists.

    There is a divide in the nation, (and beyond) on the respective sympathy we should have for people like Kyle Rittenhouse, vs. his victims.

    Many people honor Kyle’s victims as the best America has to offer. And alternatively, many on the right honor Kyle, as the best America has to offer.

    OK, I agree with the latter, but I also recognize the numbers and significance of the former.

    If those people of the former, (university college girls of both sexes, liberals and so on..) are now protesting the horrors of Gaza, and by extension the indefensible advent of Israel itself, then this can only be a wonderful development, and one all honest and decent people on both sides of the ideological divide, should all embrace.

    We now all can condemn the governments of Germany and America, as fascist regimes forcing their respective citizens to be party to crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing and the mass-slaughter of even children.

    https://thecradle.co/articles/hamas-reorganizes-in-gazas-north-battles-invading-army-in-rafah

    Intense battles reignited in Gaza City’s Al-Zaytoun neighborhood on 11 May between the Palestinian resistance and Israeli troops, months after Tel Aviv claimed Hamas had been defeated in the north of the enclave.

    The Israeli army has also deployed to the city of Jabalia north of Gaza City, where it claims fighters from Hamas’ armed wing have “reorganized.”

    A field commander from the Palestinian resistance told Al-Mayadeen that, in Al-Zaytoun, the invading tanks were forced to withdraw from the vicinity of the neighborhood’s clinic.

    “The resistance targeted in the past two days the forces that were positioned in the area with mortar shells and anti-tank rockets … Artillery and aerial bombardment is still ongoing on several axes in Al-Zaytoun,” the Palestinian commander said.

    The Israeli army on Saturday confirmed to Hebrew media that troops initially prepared to operate in Rafah are preparing to enter Jabalia.

    — Keep repeating this nonsense if it makes you feel better.

    “Ashkenazi Jews, as well as the Yiddish language, came from four villages in Turkey:” https://nationalpost.com/news/world/ashkenazi-jews-as-well-as-the-yiddish-language-came-from-four-villages-in-northeastern-turkey-study
    https://academic.oup.com/gbe/article/8/4/1132/2574015

    In an effort to discover the origin of the Yiddish language, researchers say that they have found evidence that proves that Ashkenazi Jews are descended predominately from four villages in northeastern Turkey.

    The study, titled “Localizing Ashkenazic Jews to primeval villages in the ancient Iranian lands of Ashkenaz” was conducted by researchers from three universities in the U.K., U.S., and Israel. It was published in the journal Genome Biology and Evolution.

    Using a Geographic Population Structure device researchers converted the DNA of Ashkenazi Jews into geographic coordinates. … [There is] evidence that Yiddish is a Slavic language that was created by Irano-Turko-Slavic Jewish merchants, and is not of German origin as is commonly thought. .. it was devised as a “cryptic trade language,” and was used to gain its creators an advantage in trades along the Silk Roads. …

    Today, half the world’s 10 million – 11.2 million Ashkenazi Jews live in the United States, with another 2.8 million residing in Israel. They make up approximately 75 per cent of Jews, while Sephardi Jews comprising the remaining 25 per cent

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sephardic_Jews

    Sephardic Jews are a Jewish diaspora population associated with the Iberian Peninsula. … The name Sephardi means “Spanish.”

    Here are some facts that expose the ever ungrateful nature of jews

    The Jewish communities of the Iberian Peninsula prospered for centuries under the Muslim reign of Al-Andalus following the Umayyad conquest of Hispania.
    … The Alhambra Decree (also known as the Edict of Expulsion) was an edict issued on 31 March 1492, ordering the expulsion of practicing Jews from the Kingdoms of Castile and Aragon and its territories and possessions. Many Spanish Jews fled to the Ottoman Empire where they had been given refuge. Sultan Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire, learning about the expulsion of Jews from Spain, dispatched the Ottoman Navy to bring the Jews safely to Ottoman lands, mainly to the cities of Salonika (currently Thessaloniki, now in Greece) and Smyrna (İzmir, currently in Turkey).

    And see how jews have repaid the Muslims for their generosity and hospitality.

    jewish fascists on the murder spree:

    https://consortiumnews.com/2024/05/10/whistleblowers-further-expose-israels-torture-of-detainees/

    Israeli doctors sometimes amputated prisoners’ limbs due to injuries sustained from constant handcuffing; of medical procedures sometimes performed by underqualified medics earning it a reputation for being ‘a paradise for interns’; and where the air is filled with the smell of neglected wounds left to rot.”

    The testimony provided to CNN is consistent with details that a doctor at the camp’s field hospital included in a recent letter to top Israeli officials. The doctor described unlawful and inhumane conditions; in a single week, the person said, “two prisoners had their legs amputated due to handcuff injuries, which unfortunately is a routine event.”

    “A 19-year-old detainee told an Al Mezan lawyer that he was tortured from the moment he was arrested. He described how three of his fingernails were removed with pliers during interrogation. He also stated that investigators unleashed a dog on him and subjected him to shabeh — a form of torture which involves detainees being handcuffed and bound in stress positions for long periods — three times over three days of interrogation. He was then placed in a cell for 70 days, where he experienced starvation and extreme fatigue.”

    Mohammed Al-Ran, a Palestinian doctor who was arrested by Israeli forces in December, told CNN that he was “stripped down to his underwear, blindfolded and his wrists tied, then dumped in the back of a truck where … the near-naked detainees were piled on top of one another as they were shuttled to a detention camp in the middle of the desert.”

    It becomes clearer with each day that the sadism and genocidal actions of jewish Bolsheviks against Russian, Kazakhs, and Ukrainians was a “feature, not a bag;” that jews enjoy torturing and murdering the innocents, whatever the age and ethnicity of the victims. This “feature” reflects on the talmudic/judaic education that systematically dehumanizes all “others” and indoctrinates jewish children in supremacism and genocidal proclivities.

    Jews will not be able to adjust to western civilization unless talmud/tora/judaic education are banned and all pro-Israel jewish organizations and synagogues are closed and outlawed. Westerners have been too patient towards the jews’ subversive activities. Up to date, all major jewish organizations and all jewish colleges support the ongoing Genocide of the Palestinian women and children. Zionist thugs attack peaceful students’ protests against the Genocide, and the corrupt US congress reinforces the zionist domination over US policies, both internal and foreign.

    The root of jewish evilness is jewish education that indoctrinates jewish children in sociopathy and reinforces psychopathic tendencies and the psychotic fear/hatred that are both characteristic for jewry worldwide.

    There are over 8,000 Palestinians inside Israeli prisons – including women, children and journalists. Almost 3,000 of them are being held without any charge.

  100. Will someone explain why we hear daily about all this antisemitism but cannot see anything of it more than the odd, unalarming case—the everyday here-and-there variety? Someone, anyone?

    You should be ashamed of yourself for the statement above, Mr. Lawrence. You yourself might have just committed the crime of antisemitism just by suggesting that there is such a concept as “an unalarming case” of antisemitism. There is no such thing. You offend the Jews and the millions of Holocaust survivors with your vile, antisemitic statement. Because of your offensive remarks, you will now be earmarked as a no-fly person and soon as a non-person, tout court.

    You, of all people, Mr. Lawrence, should know full well that ANY case of antisemitism, however slight, however seemingly insignificant, might very well lead to another Holocaust of The Six Million. This must be prevented at all costs since it would not be just another everyday variety of genocide, like in Gaza, but would entail the annihilation of the Chosen People of God. This is unthinkable. It is because of people like you, Mr. Lawrence, who still don’t understand the error of your ways, that a new bill will have be proposed in congress, which will make the Antisemitism Awareness Act (AAA) seem like a slap on the wrist: this new law will be called the Zero Antisemitism Tolerance Act (ZATA).

    I hope you understand what this means, Mr. Lawrence: it means that when ZATA becomes the law of the land, those who are even minimally suspected of antisemitism will be identified, persecuted and destroyed. A massive lawfare campaign against these Unrighteous among the Nations will start off this offensive. But then much more drastic measures must ensue: college protesters, for example, will be stripped of their dorm rooms, their cars and their boomboxes. ZATA will be rammed down their throats. You have no idea what awaits antisemites like yourself, Mr. Lawrence.

    Indeed, AAA and ZATA are just the beginning of what may be called the New Antisemitism Law of the Land (NALL): all legislations will be remade in which the antisemitism ZATA law will be inserted as the preamble. And all these new laws will be brief, plain, stable, leaving room for no kind of interpretations, so that even confused individuals such as yourself will have no doubt about the real meaning of Antisemitism.

    The main feature of these new antisemitism laws, Mr. Lawrence, will be complete and utter Submission to Orders, and this principle will be carried to a grandiose height. Every antisemitic abuse will then disappear in consequence of the responsibility of every American, from the lowest and most humble to the highest authority of the representative of power. Any and all cases of antisemitism will be so mercilessly punished that no one will ever again consider any of them “unalarming”, as you so callously stated above.

    I hope I have answered your question above to your satisfaction, Mr. Lawrence. And I also hope, for your safety, that you will be more careful with your words in the future. You have been warned.

    They’ve polished their conservative credentials by deploring the Left’s censorship of free speech and open debate. But now they show their true colors in the case of Israel. Suddenly free speech is not to be allowed if it includes criticism of Jews and Israel.

    Marx was a Jew? Well, yes and no. Define “Jew,” then as sophist Bill Clinton
    would say,define” yes and no” and define, “define.”

    By ancestry, and presumably genetics Marx was a Jew, and since both his
    parents had been Jews before they converted, Marx probably absorbed some
    aspects of Jewish culture from them. Marx was baptized as a Lutheran and
    received a typical German Protestant education of this period, but became an
    atheist in late adolescence. It is notable that his parents were secular Jews
    and later secular Christians.

    Hegel was the most influential philosopher in Europe at the time, but his
    ambiguous ideas were given a traditional interpretation by some and a radical
    exposition by others, including Marx and Engels.

    Some of what Marx wrote would be interpreted as anti-Semitic today, such
    as “money is the jealous god of Israel in face of which no other god may exist,”
    and “what is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering.” But, the context of
    these statements was an argument for emancipation of the Jews since Marx
    believed that the unsavory Jewish business practices were a by-product of
    their lack of full citizenship. Now, that argument has been refuted by time.

    THAT is exactly what the Jews want you to think.

    Their whole goal is to discredit the movement in the eyes of Americans of all kinds, especially conservatives and white men.

    So the Jew media and Jew government play the bad Muslim terrorist card, when in fact, all the so called bad Muslims are Crypto-Jewish or made up invisible boogeymen the Jews can call patsies for their Jewish-orchestrated false flags…

    i.e. 9/11, 7/7, 3/11, etc… ALL Jewish deep state run false flags.

    Anti-Semitic MEANS NOTHING.
    LESS THAN NOTHING ACTUALLY, since 90% of Jews aren’t even of Semitic lineage, whereas ALL Palestinians are Semitic People.

    JEWS CO-OPT AND REDEFINE EVERYTHING TO SUIT THEIR INTERESTS AND CRIMINALITY.

    THERE IS NOT A LICK OF TRUTH IN ANYTHING THEY SAY, WHICH SEMI-AWAKE SEMI-BRAINWASHED INTELLECTUALLY LOST BOYS LIKE YOU BUY INTO.

    Everyone who wants to know what is happening and why needs to first understand how the Jews use lawfare and floating definitions (or strategic NON Definitions) to wield power and control over the Goyim.

    Well, American patriots have been warning about the US Wars for Eretz Israel (see Oded Yinon Plan), which have destroyed the functioning societies and made millions of people into refugees. Moreover, you have your beloved jewess Barabra Specter who have been demanding the mongrelization of Europe but defending the apartheid and racist policies of the jewish state.

    And just to remind you about “special jewish virtue” of leaning toward fascism: Remember Jabotinsky, Shamir, Begin, and other jewish thugs collaborating with Ukrainians and Italian fascists.

    Jews have no morals. They have been shameless profiteers on WWII tragedy (which began as Judea War on Germany) and vicious and sadistic mass murderers — as the Russians tragedy of jewish Bolshevik revolution and the ongoing tragedy of genocide in Palestine illustrate so well.

    The jewish fascist state of Israel was founded on terror and has been run by self-proclaimed terrorists.

    There is not one Muslim whining about Islamophobia – that’s all done by Hegelian Dialectic Jews and the people they brainwash.

    But anti Muslim sentiment in the West does need to be countered, because it’s based on lies and fraudulent boogeymen. I.e. It was Mossad Jews, Shabbos Goy Masonic slime, and Sayanim that orchestrated the 9/11 false flag, not Muslims.

    You, in your infinite intellectual loserdom, think you can cite Wikipedia as a legitimate source to people here on UNZ. Lolololol

    Get back to your desk in your Smell Aviv Hasbara troll center.

    Islam has no in-built supremacy complex like the Jews do.

    Jewish Supremacist apologists think they can just project onto Islam, Christianity or Buddhism their Talmudic ideology of Supremacism. But that’s all just another Jewish bait and switch tactic, because Supremacism and Chosenness only appears to the deep rooted extent it does, IN JUDAISM.

    Islam: The Arab National Movement

    Preface

    Islam has caused more damage to the national dignity and honour of non-Arab Moslems than any other calamity that may have affected them, yet they believe that this faith is the ambassador of:

    1. Equality, and
    2. Human love.

    1a. This is a fiction which has been presented as a fact with an unparalleled skill.

    In fact, the Prophet Muhammad divided humanity into two sections – the Arabs and the non-Arabs. According to this categorisation, the Arabs are the rulers and the non- Arabs are to be ruled through the yoke of the Arab Cultural Imperialism: Islam is the means to realise this dream because its fundamentals raise superiority of Arabia sky-high, inflicting a corresponding inferiority on the national dignity of its non-Arab followers.

    From the Arabian point of view, this scheme looks marvellous, magnificent and mystifying but it is debilitating, derisory and destructive to the non-Arab Moslems. Yet under its psychological impact they rejoice in self-debasement, hoping to be rewarded by the Prophet with the luxuries of paradise.

    Jihad = Arabo-Muslim Invasion-Occupation of the Civilized World

    Islam is the Arab National Movement
    Islam is the Arab Imperialism

    2b. The Islamic love of mankind is a myth of even greater proportions.

    Hatred of non-Moslems is the pivot of the Islamic existence.

    It not only declares all dissidents as the denizens of hell but also seeks to ignite a permanent fire of tension between the Moslems and non-Moslems; it is far more lethal than Karl Marx’s idea of social conflict which he batched to keep his theory alive.

    In view of its deep-rooted tendency of Arab- glorification, Islam does not qualify as a religion but the Arab National Movement.

    Its success lies in total brainwashing of its non-Arab believers who begin to deplore their own national roots to adore the Arab sanctity, superiority and supremacy. Its spring is the mythical Intercessory Power of the Prophet Muhammad.

    This psychological paralysis caused the decline of great Asian nations such as India, Egypt and Iran, which once constituted as the great gushers of civilisation but now rank as members of the “Third World” for losing their national identity and zest under the influence of Islam.

    The issue this book discusses is a serious one though mischief-mongers may try to make a religious and political capital out of it. If they are really honest, they must not forget the Koranic principle of debating:

    “Bring your argument, if you are one of the truthful.” (The Cow: 111)

    Finally, I may add that this essay is a part of my unpublished work: “Culture, The Destiny.” It is being printed as a separate book owing to its religious and international significance. The reader may find it repetitive in style but it is deliberate to remind the reader of its salient point.

    Freedom of speech and tolerance were never more than “open the gate for MEEEE” whining from parties who have observably and reliably enacted their own preferred blasphemy laws, intolerance, and shunning and punishments once they are allowed in. They’re moronic pretenses of ideals for lazy ignorati to vapidly champion.

    Things can’t be free, only people can. Free markets for example just means slavery, whether you want to call it chattel or sweatshops or a rose. “Free” means lowest-common-denominator is your god.

    Freedom of speech means pornography, literally. Look up how pornography was legalized.

    Freedom of religion means the cult called, among other names, Gnosticism inducting naïve people into it as, for example, Freemasons and atheists, while pretending it doesn’t exist. Secrets for me and ignorance for you is the power of “knowledge”, so of course you’re not going to be told you’ve been programmed into the slave tier of the cult, you’re just going to be indoctrinated in its tenets via its slave-presented philosophical presuppositions disguised in terms of biology, mathematics, economics, psychology, and politics.

    Of course everything can have transformed out of nothing. Of course 1 is the same as 0.9… you can’t tell the difference, right? That’s all I need to know, that you literally cannot tell the difference between holy and unholy, and don’t understand the relation between that and the prior assertions. Welcome to my subordinating philosophy disguised as your education.

    Failure of blasphemy laws is a large part of why you think that “Jews” have anything to do with Christianity and the Bible, or Israel-the-person. Hint: The word “Jew” was not in any Bible whatsoever prior to the 19th century, and it is not an accurate translation of the terms that WERE, because it’s a modern slang-idiom from the most confused language on Earth to describe a people they did not actually know the origin of.
