Something truly dark is happening at Yale University. It’s an intensified version of something happening across America, and particularly in its unversities.
Naomi Wolf recently visited Yale—it’s her alma mater—and gave a most-passionate speech at a protest event against an obscene policy.
I - we — were there to protest the “mandate” by the university of bivalent “boosters” into the bodies of the students; this was required of them before they could…return to campus after Winter break.
I may talk about her speech another time, but she just released an essay (and a reading-of-the-same podcast) about what she noticed when visiting, and about what she and her husband discovered after a little digging. Read or listen to this soon, because Wolf often locks her content away from non-subscribers after a few weeks.
…I was at the rally because I’d been informed…—not by the university’s communications with its alumni, not by CNN or by The New York Times — that Yale was, incredibly, “mandating” the “bivalent booster” - the one tested on eight mice - on its entire student population.
This demand was in spite of their having been twice mRNA vaccinated. It was in spite of their having been already “boosted”. It was in spite of any prior COVID-19 infection, or despite religious objections, physical problems, fears or resistance.
Most Americans are declining the latest round of boosters, and even more of them have moved on from mandates. They may not (yet) regard the mandates as the apostasy-from-liberal-democracy moment that they really were, but, they are done with them. In one of the last areas of mandate-retention, the U.S. military, the Biden people seemed to finally buckle to public pressure on the issue this last week.
But around a fourth of our universities are still frog-marching their students knee-deep through the spiritually and biologically poisonous mire of mandates, mile after mile, semester after semester. A select few, like Yale, Fordham, and nearly all of the UCs, are deepening the sin by requiring the very latest boosters.
Here’s the roll of shame. Compiled by NoCollegeMandates.com. An entirely necessary reference tool for our time.
Alas, my ever-beloved Great-Books-only institution, St. John’s College, Santa Fe,1 which so should have stood out as an exception, is among those still mandating away!
I once looked upon this little group of buildings as a kind of Jerusalem…
But back to Naomi Wolf and the far less liberally educated scene at Yale. She engages in some memories of her time as a starry-eyed undergrad there, and that results in the kinds of effective contrasts to today’s scene which you’d expect. And as with so much of her work, Wolf engages in some close observation of the social scene around her—in this piece she remarks that a lawn area of the university she fondly remembers as a hub of campus life was deserted when her protest group came to it, although the reader can’t help but think, “Uh, but Naomi, this was a day in December, right?” The other detail in her essay which slightly confuses us is her quoting of one student who either now attends, or once attended, another Connecticut institution, and her using her witness to set-up her sketch of the situation at Yale. Maybe she can clarify. Anyhow, here are the relevant passages:
A scary thread throughout the day was the suppression of free thought, free speech, among students. Phoebe Liou, a University of Connecticut student, described how lonely and desolate she felt after she had decided not to get mRNA vaccinated, and how the universities dangled students’ futures in front of them like a lure on a string. She described students being “switched off” of the CCP-style digital grid of their universities, if they are even late for weekly COVID tests. They are marked as “noncompliant.”
I think this “digital grid” switch-off means she was shut out of student email and internet-access. Maybe also the use of the dorms through electronic key-codes. Definitely smacks of totalitarianism, the present China, and the social-credit security-state system which we all have reason to fear is coming for us in the future.
It’s being tried out on the campuses!
I knew how fearful students were in the face of these “mandates” and in the face of this CCP-type surveillance and control of them on campus, because so many parents with kids in the Ivies, had told me that their children had begged them not to speak out, not to call the Dean, not to advocate for them to protect them from these injections, in any way.
They feared reprisals, and they were right to do so.
The vibe on this once-vibrant campus was: keep your head down.
As I pointed out in my speech, worse even than damage to the students’ bodies, is the damage to their minds, as they bend their instincts for self-preservation to distort themselves to be “compliant” to the pimping of themselves, and to tyranny.
…students…scared to be switched off, ejected, or penalized; and the campus felt indeed like a matrix of fear.
No, I don’t think the adjective “Satanic” is too strong for this.
But it’s even worse:
As I said in my speech, I had not yet looked at the money trail that would surely be behind such an egregious policy…
When I came home, later, my husband, intelligence analyst Brian O’Shea, quickly found the money trail - from a site called TAGGS that tracks government grants, and from Yale’s own documents. The crime scene he found is indeed stunning. [https://taggs.hhs.gov/]
Yale receives more from HHS than it does from tuition.
Yale has received $9 billion from HHS since 1998 — $1.7 billion since COVID began in 2020. Yale received $607 million from HHS for this year alone — versus the $475 million that the university received from tuition.
In other words, Yale needs HHS more than it needs its own students.
A rather telling fact.
More details in Wolf’s essay. Now one thing you should understand is that Wolf is trying to explore certain legal avenues for dragging Yale into court—one has to do with greater harms to women from the mRNA vaxxes, and thus Title IX violations, and another, which intially feels more stretched, is that Yale is engaged in human trafficking. However, if you read the relevant passages from the statutes on trafficking, you’ll see why she’s onto something actionable. That’s part of why she says,
So Yale is trafficking the bodies of its students, to please HHS and to keep that spigot open.
Her use of the term “bodies of students” also connects to her recent book, The Bodies of Others. (For supporting argumentation for the general idea of trafficking in the way Yale makes students hostages of their thirst for its imprimatur, see Harvey Oxenhorn.)
Wolf wraps all this up with a report on the psychology dept. studies Yale received similar outside funding for, studies that “identified the main forms of emotional manipulation” used to drive the Covid-19 narrative. You have to read it to believe just how amoral, anti-democracy, and cynically reductive these studies were. A sample:
Self-interest message: 1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message that COVID-19 presents a real danger to one's health, even if one is young and healthy. Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the best way to prevent oneself from getting sick.
Community interest message: 1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message about the dangers of COVID-19 to the health of loved ones. The more people who get vaccinated against COVID-19, the lower the risk that one's loved ones will get sick. Society must work together and all get vaccinated. […]
Small-talk at a Stasi office-party would be less repellent.
As anyone who studies American conservatism knows, one of its seminal moments was the 1951 publication of this book, by a young William F. Buckley, Jr., Yale graduate, who would found National Review magazine four years later.
This book attacked the growing fashion for atheism and collectivism at Yale, particularly evident in its hiring choices, even in its divinity school. To some degree, contemporary American conservatism began as a protest against the shoving of God out of the university.
There still are, of course, good things happening at Yale. The lecture course “Introduction to Political Philosophy” recorded by Steven Smith 14 years ago remains a must-hear monument to civilized learning, and others of Yale’s youtube courses, such as those by the historians Joanne Freeman and Donald Kagan, and the one by the Dante scholar Guiseppe Mazzotta, look quite enticing. Even a year ago, a couple of conservative undergrad Yalies, Aron Ravin and Michael Samaritano, made a case at today’s National Review for not giving up on Yale, despite the many notorious sins against free speech it has permitted in recent years.
Nonetheless, I am led to state the obvious rhetorical question: when God is kicked off campus, Who eventually takes up residence therein?
Let’s review.
a.) Here is an institution that is actively training up-and-coming elite-status Americans in the art of exchanging future status/connection for present complicity-in-tyranny. This complicity extends not just to squelching one’s—and one’s peers and professors’— free-speech, but risking bodily harm from an experimental drug. It is a risk which in our present season of not knowing how long-lived or how cumulative the harms from the mRNA vaxxes will be, is a very bad gamble indeed—even in the short term, Wolf is quite right (11:00-11:35) that we know for sure that some women and men of the present student body of 5,000 will suffer serious bodily harm as a result of this mandate.
Somewhere Montesquieu speaks, and with a good deal of contempt, of the way the hardships imposed by a monastery on its monks makes them all the more loyal to the rigors they have suffered, the experience paradoxically tightening their bonds with one another and strenghtening their commitment to the institution.
Isn’t that what Yale is doing? Creating a new Jannissary-like set of defenders of elite power, simultaneously slaves and guardians, ready to risk the ultimate sacrifice, and thus also perhaps ready to set aside ethics regarding the rights and bodies of others, to defend the all-holy Narrative?
Wolf presents the undergrads of Yale as victims. She needs to do so to win the cases she wants to bring to the courts.
And quite a few of them no doubt are, or will be, completely duped.
But I see them more of them more as willing participants, that is, like persons unjustly imprisoned and put in an impossible position, but who then mitigate their suffering by accepting the role of kapo, in part because they are also promised, later on, a position of similar power in the broader society outside.
I don’t know what to say to the good conservative students like those who wrote for NR, or to the various good professors there like Smith and Freeman, other than, perhaps you need to take a stand now.
I say these cadres of Yalies, trained to go along with Lies, are a positive danger to American democracy. The toxins curdling in their souls as they bow down to this are far more dangerous, ultimately, than whatever harmful ingredients are in the “vaxxes.”
b.) And who is it in HHS, in the Gates Foundation, etc., that has been funelling all this money into Yale? What is their agenda?
Wolf informs us in the last video (8:35) I linked to that Pfizer actually has a new experimental facility at New Haven connected with the Yale name, thanks to their 35 million-dollar donation.
With the April opening of the $35 million New Haven Clinical Research Unit (CRU), a 52-bed dedicated facility for Phase I drug trials, Pfizer further strengthened its ties to Connecticut and added new luster to a multifaceted Pfizer-Yale research alliance that began three years ago.
At the CRU, one of only four such Pfizer facilities in the world…volunteers will take part in studies in which they will receive potential medicines that have cleared several years of safety studies in the laboratory. Although the CRU is wholly owned and operated by Pfizer, some studies there will be collaborations between Pfizer and bioimaging experts at the School of Medicine…
Here’s a photo:
Oops! Wrong photo, that’s the Hawkins federal compound from Stranger Things. Here’s the real deal, shot with fewer shadows and more blue skies:
Kinda raises the question. One that might occur to you as you listen to Professor Freeman lecturing on the Declaration’s denunciation of “swarms of officials,” or Professor Smith lecturing on how Socrates refused to do the Thirty Tyrants bidding to arrest Leon of Salamis.
What the hell is Yale anymore?
Or, what kind of a Dominion is it now a portal to? Just what kind of hell-on-earth is it attempting, with its elite power and its legions of envious imitators, to bring to all of us?
I did the Graduate Institute masters program there, very late 90s. They do not require the bi-valent, i.e. the fourth shot, and at least do not enage in the chilly hypocrisy most mandating schools do, of not requiring the faculty to submit to the coerced jabs—although in this case that means that tutors I remember and revere—the title professor is not used there—are undergoing the biological risks. May God protect their bodies from the many mRNA-vax harms increasingly documented.
May all efforts of Naomi Wolf and all of you be truly blessed. WE are in this dark time, yet we know, by God's Grace, we continue to walk His road.... Thank you for this most excellent post....
"With the April opening of the $35 million New Haven Clinical Research Unit (CRU), a 52-bed dedicated facility for Phase I drug trials,..."
"At the CRU, one of only four such Pfizer facilities in the world…volunteers will take part in studies in which they will receive potential medicines that have cleared several years of safety studies in the laboratory."
Since the powers that be seem to be able to change the definition of words on the fly, like vaccine, without any trouble, I wonder what their definition of the word "volunteer" is these days. The word volunteer could use a good invasive inspection and a spotlight.
