Harvard The Nation's Most Respected Whore House (With Apologies To Those Who Are Forced To Prostitute Their Bodies)

If it were not so hot and I were not so tired and if I didn't have so much work to get to, I'd write a really long article about what a friggin' whore house Harvard is, especially the hilariously named "Kennedy School Of Government" for adding to the long, long list of oligarchic prostitutes and pimps and worse criminals it has given "fellowships" and who knows what other honorific titles and positions to.

The latest one to make a sensation in the media, since they gave one to Sean Spicer, was the criminal against humanity, the poisoner of Flint Michigan, the imposer of state imposed dictators on many a mostly Democratic and, especially, Black majority municipality - his means of poisoning Flint - The Shame of Michigan, Rick Snyder.   Only, as rarely happens, The World's Greatest University (in so many a status seeking mind)  sucking his cock as they kiss his ass and shining his shoes, simultaneously, in this case created such a furor that Snyder bypassed the honoring.   

The guy who has been trolling me pretty much every day since sometime in about 2012 was first offended when I noted that so many of those who disappointed Democrats so badly in the Obama Administration were Harvard Products, not least of whom was, of course, Barack Obama.   I sinned against the whore house filled to overflowing with oligarchic liars and prostitutes that proclaims as its motto "Veritas" even as it was among the Ivy class institutions that specialized in producing amoral liars of the ruling class and its lackeys.  It's one of the defects of having an ersatz left that is so dominated by the college credentialed that it is so bound up with the kind of whoring after status and a respect for that status that comes with a degree in so many cases.

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm an ornery farm boy in New England where even in my state Harvard products are thick on the ground but I've known lots of them and know their educations haven't made them especially wise as it has allowed so many of them to make a lot of money out of being especially amoral.   Not a few of them aren't all that competent, either.

But before someone points to Elizabeth Warren, SHE'S NOT A PRODUCT OF HARVARD, SHE'S A PRODUCT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION, INCLUDING HER LAW DEGREE FROM RUTGERS.   And her public career as well as her academic work proves that Havard may have hired her but they didn't corrupt her.   There are even Harvard grads - the legitimate ones, not the Kennedy School types - who aren't whores of oligarchy but I would guess that numerically they're the exception, not the rule.  It certainly isn't the case with the administrators who would all seem to be servicers of oligarchic fascist rule.  How else would the Kennedy School get away with honoring so many criminals of the worst type going on decades.  Get a load of this


“The people of Flint, Michigan — and especially low-income black residents — have suffered acutely because of their poisonous water supply, and I have been deeply moved by the personal and thoughtful messages I have received from people in Flint,” Douglas Elmendorf, the Harvard Kennedy School dean, wrote in an email on Wednesday to students, faculty and staff members.

“We appreciate Governor Snyder’s interest in participating in such discussions in our community,” he continued, “but we and he now believe that having him on campus would not enhance education here in the ways we intended.” 

That's the kind of blatant dishonestly shamelessly spouted by Ivy products of the kind who rise at Harvard,  Elmendorf is a product of two, Princeton and Harvard.   You almost get the feeling that he really doesn't understand the problem of having someone who belongs in prison for killing people and other crimes against humanity and democracy when you know very well that Dean Elmendorf knows exactly what they were honoring Snyder for, service to the worst of Republican-fascist oligarchy.   

Later in the NYT piece linked to, it says:

Tiffani Ashley Bell, the founder of the Human Utility, a nonprofit organization that uses crowdsourcing funds to help low-income residents in Michigan and Maryland pay their water bills, started the online petition. In 2017, she served as a technology and democracy fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School.

“It would have been another slap in the face to the people of Flint,” if Mr. Snyder had taken the fellowship, Ms. Bell said in an interview on Wednesday. “The Harvard community deserves better.”

Passing up writing the long, long piece that the concept of "Human Utility"  is begging for, for the moment,  no "The Harvard community" doesn't deserve better, as someone who is, no doubt, familiar with the place and the Kennedy School as she must be would know.  Harvard's "community" is full to the top of people who are as thick as the thieves they are with the Rick Snyders of the world and people like Ms. Bell pretending that the place is any better than it is are a big part of the problem of why it is allowed to maintain a status that makes criminals like Rick Snyder and the myriad of other such "fellows" value an association with it, why stupid, status seeking mid-brows with no association with it fall for that bull shit.  Harvard and its fellow elite institutions need to be taken down enough notches till they stop being a danger to democracy and decency, which are the same thing. 

I'm surprised they haven't offered one to The Shame Of Maine, Paul LePage, yet.  Maybe he's too down-market for them.  They at least like them presentable, no matter how deep the gore stains on them are. 

Update:  Now that I see I expressed myself ambiguously, I will get around to writing that piece about "Human Utility" if for nothing else than to apologize to Ms. Bell.  The group apparently doesn't conceive of human beings in terms of utility but in utilities such as a municipal and regional water system being things humans have a right to.
