COLLUSION:  Damning Thread Shows Plans for Campus Unrest Started in November

 

The chaos and unrest that we see on campuses across the country -- from Columbia to UCLA -- are not organic movements.  They are not spontaneous: they are coordinated, well-funded, and completely planned and intentional.

'Shark Tank' star Kevin O'Leary says pro-Palestinian student protesters are 'screwed' when they apply for jobs because employers will identify them through AI

 

"Shark Tank" host and investor Kevin O'Leary says pro-Palestinian student protesters will be "screwed" when they start job hunting.

This, O'Leary says, is because employers can now use AI technology to screen applicants and filter out those who have taken part in protests.  Advancements in technology have made it much easier to identify people on camera, the businessman added.

"Here's your resume with a picture of you burning a flag.  See that one.  That goes in this pile over here, cause I can get the same person's talent in this pile that's not burning anything," O'Leary told Fox News' The Five on Wednesday.  [...]

I predicted exactly this all the way back in 2016 and paid a reputational price for it, commenting on the insane and incomprehensible alliance between "feminists" (those resentful harpies) and Islamic fundamentalists. The idiot hedonist females on the left, bereft of any… Show more

Exclusive:  Columbia Custodian Trapped by 'Angry Mob' Speaks Out

 

It's the viral image that captured the clash between the anti-Israel protesters who stormed Columbia and the campus workers who tried to stop them.  As the mob invaded Hamilton Hall in the early hours of April 30, a facilities worker was photographed pushing a demonstrator against a wall.

Later, it emerged that the protester was a 40-year-old trust fund kid named James Carlson, who owns a townhouse in Brooklyn worth $2.3 million.  The man who tried to hold him back was Mario Torres, 45, who has worked at Columbia—where the average janitor makes less than $19 an hour—for five years.  [...]
