Meanwhile, universities reported receiving $3.1 billion from Qatar and more than $1.1 billion from Saudi Arabia, and that’s just what was reported: “Federal law requires schools to disclose substantial foreign gifts and contracts to the Department of Education (DOE) twice a year. Many have for years failed to do so, while others severely underreported the income.”
With the Muslim Brotherhood, the Wahhabis, and others pumping billions into America’s universities, it’s easy to see why so many Americans, and young people in particular, see “Islamophobia” as a genuine threat and jihad violence and Sharia oppression as fictional constructs of an alleged “hate industry.” The propaganda is skillful and relentless. Then on top of that is the propaganda from China, as detailed here. All this is why the fog of misinformation and disinformation is so thick these days, it’s hard to see three feet ahead.
“Biden quietly nixes Trump-era rule combating Chinese Communist-funded ‘propaganda’ centers,” by Benjamin Zeisloft, Campus Reform, February 7, 2021:
The Trump administration attempted to enact a policy that would force American universities to reveal cooperation with chapters of the Confucius Institute. President Joe Biden quietly revoked the policy a few days after his inauguration.
Axios reported that in the final days of his presidency, Trump enacted a policy that would compel primary, secondary, and postsecondary institutions to disclose all contracts and transactions with the Confucius Institute. Under the policy, schools that do not report information would lose certification for the Student and Exchange Visitor Program.
Records from the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs revealed that Biden nixed the policy on January 26. A spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed to Campus Reform that the policy was rescinded.
Seth Cropsey — director of the Center for American Seapower at the Hudson Institute — told Campus Reform that the policy could be part of the Biden administration recalibrating on Sino-American relations. However, he said hopes that the new administration is not trying to “placate China.”
He expressed hope that the Biden administration is not trying to “make overtures… that make it sound as though the United States is unaware or uninterested in their military buildup, their aggression against neighbors, their militarization of the South China Sea, and their successful efforts to steal intellectual property.”
In terms of Confucius Institutes, Cropsey remarked that it is “not normal practice, and for good reason — namely, academic independence and freedom — to allow an outside organization… to say nothing of a country that is a strategic competitor to the United States, to be able to choose professors in a program… within a university.”…
Spiro says
Of course he did
He has to help cover up the corruption
In universities and government
That’s why he got elected and that’s why they hated Trump
Their level of hatred toward Trump showed their fear of being exposed
mortimer says
I wonder what total figure Bribed-en received in order to sell out the independence of American universities like this.
No foreign government should be dictating what is taught in US universities.
mortimer says
The corrupt Bribed-ens are experts in the matter of payola.
Question for lawyers:
ARE THE PAYOFFS BY FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS TO THE BRIBED-EN FAMILY GROUNDS FOR THE PRESIDENT’S IMPEACHMENT?
James Lincoln says
So it looks like the Confucius Institutes are going to have free reign in making American universities full commie…
gravenimage says
Universities get billions from Islamic entities, Biden drops rule forcing revelation of cash from propaganda centers
……………
Troubling but scarecely surprising.
Andrew says
I just dont understand why there is Studies in a US University such as Middle Eastern Studies,islamic Studies and the such like, or Asian Studies, when Im sure there is not such studies in Saudi Arabia,Qatar etc named Western Studies or Christian Studies.
Am I missing something here?>
James Lincoln says
Rightly so, Andrew.
Doubtful that universities in either Saudi Arabia or Qatar talk much about Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys…
Jayell says
This sort of infiltration must explain the advancing corrupt debasement of Western institutions worldwide ever since the oil price hike in the 1970’s gave Middle Eastern oil States the funds to conduct their stealth jihad, and we’re apparently only just now noticing. Qatar is without doubt an evil and corrupting entity boasting the misappropriated physical trappings of the 21st. century but ideologically and socially stuck back in Mohammed’s primitive Dark Ages.
PRCS says
My fear:
No matter how badly ‘ole Joe and his handlers screw up, enough idiots will keep voting democrat.
If unvetted illegal aliens bring even more deadly diseases with them, or NBC weapons and use them, will that get get their attention?
Will the Harris/Biden administration be held accountable should such disasters occur?
OLD GUY says
How sad our President is so willing to sell the American dream and our children to these thugs. But you can’t rule out the greed of our colleges and universities who are more than willing to change curriculum and campus organization rules and policies to allow islam and other anti-American groups to spread their propaganda.
