This kind of outrageous libel is welcome on college and university campuses today, as they are no longer institutions of higher learning, but are now radioactive wastelands of far-Left indoctrination. Cornell wouldn’t dream of hosting a speaker who explained how Israel is facing a jihad that seeks a new genocide of the Jews. Cornell wouldn’t be caught dead hosting a speaker who opposed jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women. That would be “Islamophobic.”
“‘Extermination Camp Run By Jews’: On Yom Kippur, Cornell Set to Host Professor Who Compared Jews to Nazis,” by Alana Goodman, Washington Free Beacon, October 4, 2022:
Cornell University is set to host a panel—on the holiest day of the year for Jewish students—featuring a professor who compared the Jewish state to Nazi Germany, claiming that Palestinians in the Hamas-controlled Gaza strip are living in an “extermination camp, run by Jews.”
The Cornell Institute for Comparative Modernities panel, which is titled “Palestine and Indigenous North America,” is the final event in a series about “Settler Colonialism, Sovereignty, Apartheid.” The panel includes Cornell American Studies professor Eric Cheyfitz, who has compared Israel to Nazi Germany, and University of Kansas professor Robert Warrior, a vocal proponent of the anti-Israel boycott movement, who claimed that Israel “illegally confiscates Palestinian lands, it literally blows up Palestinian homes, house by house.”…
The event will take place on Oct. 5, which falls on Yom Kippur—precluding many Jewish students and community members from attending. Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year for Jews during which they are required to fast and refrain from working.
“The terrible ironies of history: Gaza has become an extermination camp, run by Jews,” Cheyfitz, the Cornell professor, wrote on Twitter in 2014.
Cheyfitz equated Gaza, the Palestinian territory that Israel withdrew from in 2005 and which is controlled by the Hamas-led government, to the Warsaw Ghetto under Nazi Germany.
He also described Israel as a “terrorist organization, projecting its crimes on the defenders of human rights,” and claimed “Apartheid Israel is in its death throes. The symptoms: Violence, in its desperation, is all Zionism can offer the world.”…

How true.

The Road We Are Traveling, 1914-1942; Guide Lines to America’s Future*
By Stuart Chase (March 8, 1888 – November 16, 1985)
*Glenn Beck states that Franklin D. Roosevelt included many of the ideas from this book in his speeches.
“The Free Enterprise System once we get out of this war (WWII) we will have to change a few things, we will have to change Capitalism and the Free Enterprise System to System X.”
• Strong Central Government
• Strong Executive Arm, stronger than the Legislative or Judicial Branch
• Government control of Banking, Credit and Security
• Underwriting of Food, Medical and Housing
• Deficit Spending to Finance Underwriting
• Abandon Gold for the Managed Currency
• Heavy Taxation of Estates and the Income of the Wealthy
• Youth & People Dedicated to the Government Ideology
From Wikipedia: Free Enterprise into “X”
On pages 95 and 96 of The Road We Are Traveling, under the heading of “Free Enterprise into ‘X'”, Chase listed 18 characteristics of political economy that he had observed among Russia, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain between 1913 and 1942. Chase labeled this phenomenon “… something called ‘X'”.
Characteristics include the following:
1. A strong, centralized government.
2. An executive arm growing at the expense of the legislative and judicial arms.
3. The control of banking, credit and security exchanges by the government.
4. The underwriting of employment by the government, either through armaments or public works.
5. The underwriting of social security by the government – old-age pensions, mothers’ pensions, unemployment insurance, and the like.
6. The underwriting of food, housing, and medical care, by the government.
7. The use of deficit spending to finance these underwritings.
8. The abandonment of gold in favor of managed currencies.
9. The control of foreign trade by the government.
10. The control of natural resources.
11. The control of energy sources.
12. The control of transportation.
13. The control of agricultural production.
14. The control of labor organizations.
15. The enlistment of young men and women in youth corps devoted to health, discipline, community service and ideologies consistent with those of the authorities.
16. Heavy taxation, with special emphasis on the estates and incomes of the rich.
17. Control of industry without ownership.
18. State control of communications and propaganda.

One of the greatest myths of American history, milo, is that FDR saved America in the 1930’s. Au contraire. FDR buried America into TMG—Too Much Government.
Not only did FDR prolong the Depression with his New Deal policies but, even worse, he expanded government overreach far beyond what President Wilson tried to do. Indeed, LBJ with his Great Society program admitted right up front that he wanted to out deal the New Deal. And trillions have been spent on ending poverty only to see that such trillions did nothing to end poverty. Truman was culpable here as well with his Fair Deal initiatives. JFK expanded White House staff exponentially from hundreds to thousands. And then Republican Presidents like Eisenhower and Nixon did nothing to stop government overreach, in fact Nixon expanded government hugely so, an example being the EPA.
Reagan and Trump tried to roll back some of this nonsense, to their credit, but they still failed. An example: How many federal government programs did Reagan cut? Answer: none. Well, if Reagan couldn’t even get rid of the Department of Education (and which has done diddly squat for education in America while sucking up billions to achieve nothing or worse than nothing), who can get rid of the ever growing monster which is the federal government? I fear no one.
Right now George III and Lord North are looking like mild annoyances to liberty compared to what exists in the highly fetid Swamp which is Washington DC. I would start, as an example, with what has happened to the FBI and which organization makes British policies in the 1760’s like the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts appear as nothing more than minor setbacks. We need a second American Revolution.

Wellington,
I’m not and never have been an FDR person. I despise the man.
I’m conflicted, as I struggle with what the Bible teaches, especially in the Book of Daniel, that it’s the God of the Bible who raises Kings up and takes them down, and raises Nations up and takes them down. FDR was POTUS for one reason and one reason only, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob allowed him to become President of the United States of America.
Amity Shlaes in her book, “The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression.” confirms what you have said about FDR.

Professors at American Universities today seem to be even more stupid that than the students they are supposed to be teaching and so they merely pass on their ignorance and lies..
I never went to any College or University and I feel more intelligence that this moron standing up there comparing Gaza to the Ghettos and Israel to Nazi Germany.
Truly incredible ignorance of history.

Judging by the high quality of your posts. I would say that is a true statement.
