Harvard University Jumps The Shark

On December 16, 2013 there was a threat made against Harvard University in the form of an email. This email allegedly stated that “shrapnel bombs” were placed in two of the following buildings: The Science Center, Sever Hall, Emerson Hall, and Thayer Hall. This was during finals week for the Fall Semester. I immediately took interest in the case. One reason is Harvard University is an incubator for future members of the ruling class. Two, it is also a hotbed for Marxist ideology and it would be interesting to see how such a place would deal with “revolutionary activities” against it. Third, I have noticed the Ivory Tower has been cracking for the last couple decades and  only a thin veneer remains living off its own pretentious self image, like an Iraqi Presidential Palace.

As events unfolded, I was not surprised at what happened or how the suspect is treated with favoritism due to his affiliations. I will start by sharing parts of the affidavit submitted by Special Agent Dalton of the Federal Bureau of Investigation:

Along with other agents of the FBI and officers of the Harvard University Police
Department, I am participating in an investigation of several bomb threats directed at Harvard
University on December 16, 2013. As set forth below, there is probable cause to believe that, on
that date, ELDO KIM, age 20, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, sent several e-mail messages to
Harvard University, intending to convey the false information that bombs had been placed in
several buildings on the Harvard campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, under circumstances
where the information might reasonably be believed, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §1038(a).

While this charge is serious, it does not really make it to the level of sending the alleged perpetrator to Guantanamo Bay. It would have been funny if they indefinitely detained him. That new power granted to the Executive Branch would be especially ironic if it was used in this case since I believe it was intended to go after enemies of the ruling class.

On December 16, 2013, at approximately 8:30 a.m., the Harvard University Police
Department, two officials of Harvard University, and the president of the Harvard Crimson, the
university’s daily student newspaper, received identical e-mail messages bearing a “subject” line
that read “bombs placed around campus.” Each of the e-mail messages read as follows:
shrapnel bombs placed in:
science center
sever hall
emerson hall
thayer hall
2/4. guess correctly.
be quick for they will go off soon
The Science Center, Sever Hall, Emerson Hall, and Thayer Hall are buildings on Harvard
University’s main campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I had a giggle at the “guess correctly” part. It seems the alleged perpetrator was channeling the Joker from “The Dark Knight.”  It made me even more curious as to this gentleman’s belief system.

In response to the e-mail messages, the Harvard University Police Department
immediately notified the FBI. The FBI immediately began an investigation on the Harvard
University campus, in coordination with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and
Explosives; the United States Secret Service; the Harvard University Police Department; the
Cambridge Police Department; the Boston Police Department; and the Massachusetts State
Police. Dozens of law enforcement officers, along with numerous other first responders, such as
firefighters of the Cambridge Fire Department, immediately went to the vicinity of the buildings
specified in the e-mail messages.

Well at least everyone got to turn on the lights and sirens, wear cool uniforms and carry neat guns. Can’t get too mad if this incident helps justify budgets.

In the course of this investigation, I have learned that the person who sent the e-mail
messages described above took steps to disguise his identity. Specifically, Harvard received the
e-mail messages from a service called Guerrilla Mail, an Internet application that creates
temporary and anonymous e-mail addresses available free of charge. Further investigation
yielded information that the person who sent the e-mail messages accessed Guerrilla Mail by
using a product called TOR, which is also available free of charge on the Internet and which
automatically assigns an anonymous Internet Protocol (“IP”) address that can be used for a
limited period of time. Every computer attached to the Internet uses an IP address, which is a
unique numerical identifier, to identify itself to other computers on the Internet and direct the
orderly flow of electronic information between them. IP addresses typically consist of four
numbers between 0 and 255 separated by periods (e.g., 216.239.51.99). Both TOR and Guerilla
Mail are commonly used by Internet users seeking to communicate anonymously and in a
manner that makes it difficult to trace the IP address of the computer being used.
9. Harvard University was able to determine that, in the several hours leading up to the
receipt of the e-mail messages described above, ELDO KIM accessed TOR using Harvard’s wireless network.

Wow. While Harvard had him on TOR, I was wondering how they were able to connect him to that email service. I read on in Special Agent Dalton’s affidavit:

On the evening of December 16, 2013, an FBI agent and an officer of the Harvard
University Police Department interviewed ELDO KIM at the building in which he resides on the
Harvard University campus. During the interview, the FBI agent advised KIM of his rights
under Miranda. KIM read and signed an advice of rights waiver, stating that he understood his
rights. KIM then stated that he authored the bomb threat e-mails described above. KIM stated
that he acted alone. He further stated that he sent the e-mails to “five or six Harvard University
e-mail addresses” that he picked at random from the university’s web page. According to KIM,
he was motivated by a desire to avoid a final exam scheduled to be held on December 16, 2013.
11. KIM further stated that he sent all of the threatening e-mails at about 8:30 a.m. and that
he used TOR to create a “guerrillamail.com” e-mail address for each of the e-mails. KIM
explained that he sent all of the bomb-threat e-mails from his MacBook Pro Laptop. KIM stated
he chose the word “shrapnel” because it sounded more dangerous and wrote, “2/4. guess
correctly,” so that it would take more time for the Harvard Police Department to clear the area.
12. KIM was scheduled to take a final exam in Emerson Hall, a building on the Harvard
campus, at 9:00 a.m. on December 16, 2013. KIM stated that he was in Emerson Hall at 9:00
a.m. when the fire alarm sounded and the building was evacuated. According to KIM, uponhearing the alarm, he knew that his plan had worked.

I would have thought a Harvard University student would be smart enough never to waive Miranda rights. I also would have thought someone who allegedly violates the law would not tell the police the who, what, why, and where without an attorney. Seems my preconceptions were wrong though. A lot of other preconceptions I had were also wrong in this case. I was expecting an incident like this to lead to the suspect being held without bond. Nope, Mr. Kim got out on a $100,000 unsecured bond. Must be nice being in the “inner party.” Try doing some computer crime over at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Federal Prosecutor will literally drive you to suicide. Also, the apparent Harvard University grade inflation problem makes skipping a final like this very peculiar.

After I got done laughing about this case, I came to a few conclusions. It seems Harvard University is a very sheltered social environment. I think the alleged perpetrator believed and still believes he will get a slap on the wrist. It is looking to be that is all he is going to get. I also noticed the cognitive dissonance of the people defending the alleged perpetrator’s  supposed actions. If a person is smart enough, disciplined enough, and has the connections to get into the undergraduate program at Harvard University, he will know right from wrong. I also suspect the alleged perpetrator might have done other not so moral things to get his way in the past, since most criminals do not get caught the first time they violate the law. While terrorist threats are a serious problem, this incident is important for its exposure of an academic society that may or  may not think the law applies to them.

    1. The stress of Marxist indoctrination got to them….I’m surprised no one even attempted this before.

    2. The stress of Marxist indoctrination got to them….I’m surprised no one even attempted this before.

  1. Harvard is indeed the self – anointed finishing school for those that will fast track to undeserved positions. This is the culture that bred Obama. Many of these people are mentally ill.
    That is a horrific combination. They believe they can do no wrong. This is why increasingly insane feminist state laws get passed and enforced and these Harvard people think it normal.
    Every bit of insulance, hatred, and rejection directed toward these products of Harvard is deserved. In fact, necessary for us to have better lives.
    When I run into them, they receive my scorn. I go after them with a vingence.

    1. I hate to be picky, but ‘vingence’ conjures up an image of one determinedly downing one bottle of wine after another. I like it!

    2. The entrance criteria are thinly veiled tests of the conformity of your beliefs to Cathedral approved beliefs. And to a lesser extent what is essentially an IQ test (although the writing section makes grading more subjective).

    3. I went to grad school at Harvard. While I would agree that there is plenty of masturbatory self-affirmation at Harvard, the students are generally the cream of the crop in terms of academic and professional potential. Harvard has an extremely low acceptance rate. I am not defending its left-wing dogma, however it seems that those who criticize Ivy League schools generally did not attend one.

      1. Fair enough, but those that criticize nazi rallies generally did not attend one either. Harvard has alot of book smart people there, no denying it but not going to an ivy league doesn’t reflect your professional nor academic potential. Onw could simply be lazy or occupied with other areas of life. Ie. I have done very well in business. I know smarter people with ivy league degrees who got lazy afterwards got divorced, got fat and didn’t achieve their full potential. I know dumb people who worked their hardest and achieved higher in professional life than ivy league grads.

      2. Um, there are plenty of people out there that had the smarts but not the opportunities to succeed. Even if the average IQ of someone at Harvard is 130 (which is way way high), that’s still only the top 84th percentile.

  3. It’s not a safe assumption that a Harvard student knows “right from wrong” or “knows better” than to waive his/her rights. You know what they say about assumptions.
    Just because someone got great grades in school, did community service, and participated in a number of extra curricular activities to meet upper echelon university acceptance requirements, does NOT mean they have a lot of life experience in dealing with the law or making the most ethical decisions.
    This kid may very well come from a typical high-expectation super-strict Southeast Asian family where his whole life he has been railed on about discipline in academia. That may be all he knows – school.
    I seems to me that it was handled pretty realistically, all government conspiracy and Orwell-ian dystopian theories aside. I’m sure he will be punished and face some serious jail time if he is convicted, but fact of the matter is he’s just a kid who made a stupid, selfish decision. Now his life is ruined. Way to go.
    I’m certainly not a supporter of big government or any kind of totalitarianism (PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE USER NAME OR AVATAR) but it seems like instead of totally using the Indefinite Detention policy to their advantage, the FED actually maybe realized that some stressed out university student trying a desperate effort to avoid finals he wasn’t prepared for is far from a national security matter or any kind of “terrorist threat” – even though they EASILY could have spun it that way.
    On the flipside, one may conclue that the situation was mitigated by the fact that Harvard is a school with a name to uphold and “the powers that be” know this and honor it.

    1. As long as anyone committing the same sort of offense gets the same treatment, fine. But if a Hahvahd kid gets a slap on the wrist while a Boston College student gets jail time, then fuck all of them and raze Cambridge to the ground.

  5. This douche should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. He should be on the hook for the total tax payer cost of mobilizing all of those first responders, agencies, and departments. I live in metro Boston and this guy picked shrapnel because it was similar to the bombs that the marathon terrorists used. All of the law enforcement around here is still keyed up from that abortion. No sympathy here.

    1. He is a nigger chingook, you are speaking as though this insectoid primate is actually objectively human which he isn’t. So using that terminology won’t work but stating the facts that he is a chinkazoo gookoid scum who has basically tricked and socially climbed his way to this position without merit is the nature of these socially deceptive camouflaging Asiatic chimps (most Asians etc) would be correct. They are socially irrelevant due to their gookoid looks and biology so they have to use every method necessary in the book to compensate for their racially inferior primate genetics.
      What you should be doing is kicking out these Gookoid shits out of your country because they are copying and looting everything valuable that you have like insects feeding in corpses. Chingook yellow ass filthy apes don’t invent shit or create substance or value; they are stealers, they are liars, they are backstabbers, they are copiers, they are cheaters, they are social climbers in a negative sense. Please stop treating these people as humans like you and like what they objectively are, inferiority complexed backstabbing corroding species.

    1. Or used nitrile gloves, a new box of dollar store envelopes, a new cheap label maker, and a few stamps, then burn it all once mailed.

  6. My Papa always told me to keep my mouth shut when being accused by the police.
    Lots of people use TOR today; it’s the job of the police to connect the emails to that person without reasonable doubt.

  7. I’m surprised no one has pointed out the obvious fact that he is Asian. Typical asian antics. They will do next to anything to ensure their grades are as high as can be. The vaunted Asian diligence at work. High IQ, extremely diligent, dumb as fucking rocks.

  8. I went to ‘Haavad’ and use that info only to get in good with people who are impressed with credentials,but am personally somewhat embarrassed about it.
    Grade inflation?Check.School for elitist,affluent Dumbfucks?Check.Bastion for Batshit Socialist Utopia?Check.
    Go there for their Grad Science programs(I consider Cal-tech,MIT and Stanford to be far superior) and Med School (pick if Hopkins,if you have the choice).
    Of course their Law school is legendary,but as pointed in an earlier ROK article,avoid the Law profession.Indeed if it’s not a STEM subject, then really, your Harvard Degree is simply a very prestigious nomenclature for your massive student debt.

    1. Watching an online lecture by E.O. Wilson to a Harvard freshman biology class, I was appalled by how little information was given. Most of Wilson’s presentation was showmanship. I did a better job teaching freshman biology at Podunk U. in Lafayette, Louisiana. Harvard is a finishing school at the undergraduate level.

      1. You can’t judge a Harvard class based on only the professor’s lectures. Lectures are the only part of a class that is open for the general public. The sections and workshops are the real meat of the education. The celebrity professors help fill in the gaps.

        1. So the real meat of the education is delivered by TA’s? That is what one hears about Harvard. At Yale, or MIT, the teaching culture is stronger.

    2. You know that Harvard gives out full financial aid to everyone, right? They have the FA budget to do so.

      1. Er..no they don’t.By their own admission only 60% get it (undergrads)and even those who do get it pay on average of 11,500$ a year.So that’s an average of 46,000$ in debt with financial aid.
        And in their graduate section ,which is more than double the student population of their undergrad section,there is far less financial aid. Research-PhD programs which are funded by Government grants,students might get a stipend and that too not all will get a full stipend.
        Oh and by the way,this is what their official reporting on financial aid.The inside story is far different.If you are Asian or white male prepared to either get denied scholarship or admission regardless of how qualified you are. However if you are female-homosexual-African american-Jewish-single mother with some Indian heritage,they will pay you to attend. and probably erect a statue in your honor,to overcome your victim-hood of oppression and patriarchy.

        1. Dude. They fill 100 percent of your need. This means that about forty percent of the students have none–their parents make 200,000 or more. The average indebtedness at graduation is $3000. Source : I know poor people who attend similar colleges and they don’t have to pay a cent.
          Also, PhD programs in the sciences offer full stipends nearly everywhere.
          You do realize that Asians and white males make up 50 percent of the undergraduate population right?
          Stop being delusional. It’s hard to get in but it’s not the tokenism that you like to believe.

        2. ottr :”You know that Harvard gives out full financial aid to everyone, right?”
          ottr:”This means that about forty percent of the students have none”
          Everyone = 100%.Not 60%.
          Just admit that your statement was false the first time.You would garner more respect than pretending it wasn’t but yet immediately contradicting yourself.
          ottr:Also, PhD programs in the sciences offer full stipends nearly everywhere.
          Me:students might get a stipend and that too not all will get a full stipend.
          There are umpteen PhD students who work on partial stipends and many also have their stipends terminated early.
          ottr: You do realize that Asians and white males make up 50 percent of the undergraduate population right?
          You do realize it was never written that there are no Asian and white males are Harvard ,right?
          It was stated that there were qualified Asians and white males being denied FA or admission,not that there weren’t any Asians or white males at Harvard.

        3. >Just admit that your statement was false the first time.You would garner more respect than pretending it wasn’t but yet immediately contradicting yourself.
          Sure. it was wrong. I misstated it. Doesn’t detract from the fact that if your parents make below $65,000, you don’t pay anything to go.
          >There are umpteen PhD students who work on partial stipends and many also have their stipends terminated early.
          Note: I said in the sciences, where you also have to pass exams to even do a PhD.
          >It was stated that there were qualified Asians and white males being denied FA or admission,not that there weren’t any Asians or white males at Harvard.
          No, you wrote,
          >.If you are Asian or white male prepared to either get denied scholarship or admission regardless of how qualified you are.
          That phrase, “regardless of how qualified you are,” implies all of them get denied. They don’t. I personally know people who are amazing scientists, artists, inventors, etc who are white male and/or asian at harvard.

        4. Thank you for admitting your errors.
          Most of your points are not in disagreement with anything I have said(merely some backtracking and moot points on your part), except for the last part.It was not stated that Harvard does not at all admit asians and white males,just that if one fits into those categories regardless of qualification one can still expect denial.This is not at all to say Asians and white males are not allowed in.What is being alluded to is Harvard’s diversity program which is based on affirmative action,where in order to meet some magical race-gender ratio,higher qualified candidates of one race-gender category are rejected in favor of lower qualified candidates of other race-gender categories.This is well known and that it occurs is not really a secret.

        5. Yep. Depending on your definition of “qualified.” If they have overcome extreme socioeconomic or background barriers then I think that is admirable, as not all children have the privilege of developing their talents or spending extravagant amounts of money on SAT courses (which I wouldn’t consider a qualification).

  9. Harvard undergrad is incredibly overrated. It’s much better for its business, law, and some Ph.D programs. If you’re looking at STEM, there are better Ivy’s and non-Ivy’s (MIT, Cornell, Princeton, Caltech, and some others) anyway.

  10. Am I the only person who thinks this recent overuse of the words “Marxist” and “socialist” ridiculously juvenile?

    1. Not really. If you take core classes at any of these schools (not that Harvard has any sort of core requirements- or requirements!) you will be exposed to a host of Marxist philosophy, both from Marx himself and his followers (such as EP Thompson or Weber). This is the philosophy of most professors (in humanities and non-economic social sciences) and since the professors have the most influence aside from the trustees…..other than that, the social hierarchy there is massively socialist- basically, of you are a student, a faculty member, or a trustee, you’re given anything you ask for for free, and the staff are all expected to cater to you. Additionally, if you’re disappointed in how much of a safety net your lazy ass has, you can go protest and be taken seriously. I know these things hold true because I go to another elite school, and it’s supposedly LESS socialist than Harvard – and these things are true. However, it gets worse. At Harvard, you can drop classes without a mark whenever – even right before the final. You can get corrections on every single test and homework. Finally, if you manage to completely screw up, you can go back to your professor, negotiate, and get him to change your grade to what you want it to be. It’s disgusting because a 4.0 means nothing from there, while at MIT or Caltech or Uchicago, 4.0’s appear twice a decade. Still, people in the outside world think “Oh, how smart you must be to get a 4.0 at Harvard!” so the problem persists…

      1. I’m pretty sure they teach more than just Marxist philosophy. And even if they do (which is ridiculous to even consider) Just because the students are “exposed” to it, it doesn’t mean they automatically come out as Marxists like it’s some kind of a factory. We all know that they are most likely to become one of the capitalist elites, not a Marxist revolutionary.
        And if Harvard is that easy to get a 4.0,why would this guy resort to this stunt?

        1. I’m “pretty sure” condescension is not a valid substitute for an argument.
          Easy does not equal automatic. Claiming that it is easy does not imply that it is impossible to fail.

      2. Weber a Marxist follower? Wow, tell him that. And you go to an “elite” school? Well, you are part of the subject of the article, it seems. Maybe you are good at hard science, but not at social sciences.

        1. If he meant Max Weber than I agree with you for once. Not only is Max Weber not a Marxist he’s also a real scientist.

        2. C´mon, Marx was a scientist, at least in his descriptive and analytic chapters. His “social movement” endeavors are normative. His science theories could be discussed, analyzed, proved right or wrong, and has nothing to do with Internationals or Soviets.

        3. I admit being a fan of Weber. I read the “Protestant Ethics” a few years ago and it completely changed my view on Christianity (being an atheist offspring of secular marxists myself), Western history and also of the science of sociology, which until then I regarded as a pseudo science (I always used to stay clear of the humanities in my younger years). His views on the reformation were a real eye-opener to me.
          I never read anything from Marx (which isn’t much anyway, admittedly), that doesn’t strike me as deluded. I did read “On the Jewish Question”, for example, and while it *is* descriptively correct, it’s also very judgemental in the opposite direction than my own.

    2. nope. it kinda pisses me off as a marxist, considering that I abhor Harvard and the Ivy Leagues, and their coddling of wealthy families and evading of taxes. how their service to the capitalist class is “marxist” is beyond me.
      and btw…only a very small proportion of university economics departments are marxists. “Marxism” is still considered a dirty word in academic economics.

      1. What was the death toll from Marxism and its offshoot ideologies? Over 100 million? Damn right it should be considered a dirty word.

        1. You may be referring to ‘Communism” as practiced by Stalin and Mao Tze Tung. And that same Communism has brought China to the place in the world it now resides. These were regimes; these concepts are not quite as simple as you make it out to be.

        2. Does that mean one can proudly call himself a fascist and still can get a hug from you? Because, you know, you don’t want to compare casualty figures.

    3. Yes, you are the only person who thinks that. What else should we call Marxists? I suppose we could be more technically accurate and call them “delusional, evil motherfuckers” but that takes too long to type.

        1. That suggests you’re a delusional, evil motherfucker so I don’t really care what you think.

        2. I think you and the others delusional and paranoid. I never said I supported Marxism or liberalism, but I guess that’s too hard to grasp for your black and white mentality. But suit yourself, your loss.

    4. Marxism = dogma, or the generic class of dogma, cultivated by the generational, seignoraged elite to domesticate, conquer, rule, and liquidate everyone else. @disqus_zMGRQLe0ui:disqus You think in terms of pattern recognition rather than verifiable empiricism. Sophistry relies upon false positives and negatives of association to mask the real causalities.

    5. Core Marxist tenets are class warfare and the idea that, absent of redistribution, capital accumulates in the hands of few.
      Since a lot of liberals believe those tenets (perhaps even a majority of people in Europe), there are in fact many Marxists.

      1. But American “liberals” (very different from classic liberal thinking) still support Capitalism (save for those that support cooperatives). So, why call them “Marxists”?

        1. Really? You sensed substantial disagreement with Michael Moore’s “Capitalism, a love story” out of the liberal camp? You mistake disgruntled toleration for support.

        2. Why would they disagree with one of their own? Michael Moore was never a Marxist, he was always a populist in the sense of “classic 50s America”. You can watch his excellent “Roger & Me” (his best movie) to get at the core of what makes him tick. He is a child of the destruction of the auto industry in Flint, Michigan.

        3. He is a Marxist as he believes in at least the two tenets I gave above. Since they (the liberals) see him as “one of their own”, they are also Marxists.

        4. Class warfare in itself is not a tenet, is a particular description of reality. Now, if you propose that the overthrowing the system must be done alongside social classes, then yes.
          Moore is more akin to “benevolent Capitalism” within a Welfare State. That is why he always remember that “golden time” in the 1950s. He is against “savage capitalism”, despite his travels to Cuba.

        5. I don’t believe class-warfare exists in any form other than have-nots trying to leech on the haves, justified and enabled by ideologues such Marx.
          If it wasn’t for such leftist ideas that promote it, class warefare wouldn’t exist. There certainly was much less of it in the times before Marx advocated for it and after his works it surged – peaking some time last century.

        6. Michael Moore is the result of 50 years of white male emasculation. He is what the NWO wants us to be. Fat, stupid, and willing to do what the elites say without resistance.
          Gun control is a basic foundation for communism, marxism, and genocide and that fucking fool is one of the biggest anti-2nd amendment voices. FUCK MICHAEL MOORE and if you think that blob has any redeeming qualities I will say to you…FUCK YOU as well.

        7. You should visit other countries. I think it could change your view of the world a little bit.

  11. Harvard’s classes are such a joke. One of my friends got a 3 on AP calc, C’s in college remedial calc (@Uchicago) and all A’s at Harvard calc (taken over the summer). She then took multi back at Uchicago, and had to withdraw so she wouldn’t fail! Honestly this guy must have gotten in on legacy or something, because they give out A’s like candy there, and avoiding a final implies that’s not what you’re getting. Also, people use Tor for other things there all the time (cough Silkroad) – if he was smart he woulda shut up until his lawyer could come up with a good alibi….but he obviously wasn’t smart enough to pass a final, so what can you expect? I think this case shows just how much favoritism the ruling class has for its own members- because this guy would be screwed if he were at any state school (or if he were a black Harvard student).

    1. The Cathedral looks after its own. Cops, judges, prosecutors… they are all part of the establishment. If you are part of the establishment, you have to try real hard to get arrested. Witness what happened to a former prosecutor who stepped out of bounds:

      He broke the law in front of the Law, broke the law in front of a CCTV camera, blogged about it, turned himself in several times, Fox News reported it on TV… but he could not get himself arrested in an area with 52,000 stop-and-frisk Constitution violations in 4 years.
      “On my fifth day of trying, a reporter from Courthouse News Service tagged along. At first skeptical, he watched in disbelief as the officer took my license, made a phone call, and sent me on my way.”

      1. Nonsense.
        The guy in the article just found out that if you dress properly, people don’t assume you’re out to make trouble. Do you disagree with that assessment? Does dressing properly makes you be part of the Cathedral? Please.
        On top of that, the asshole who wrote it *is* part of the Cathedral as his entire piece is trying to make it seem he just didn’t got arrested because of his skin color. I’m pretty sure if Thomas Sowell would try the same, suit, tie and all, the outcome wouldn’t be so much different.
        Dress like a thug, be treated like one. It’s just common sense.

    2. I’m not going to speak to their academics, as I am unfamiliar with them, but one thing guys.
      Harvard has been ‘slighted’ on for more than a couple generations now. I remember it being one thing (feminists), my dad heard jokes about the Jews, his dad heard jokes about something else.
      Unless you’re going to (today) Liberty university you’re on the libbiest lib campus that ever libbed. Guess what? It isn’t new. We’re talking centuries, certainly before the founders. Education has always been more liberal outside of religious schools, sometimes even in religious schools.
      Unfortunately the use of free form thought (professors) is part and parcel of discovery. Free form thought is not conservative, because it is often (especially in the past) considered heretical.
      Not saying Harvard Crimson isn’t crap, CMU myself. Just don’t think universities (or institutions that support learning in general) have been considered anything less than heretical by most for generations for any number of reasons,

      1. if thats the case, how come none of them speaks up about race differences?
        And Jews are still everywhere.

    3. “(or if he were a black Harvard student)”
      Yes, because blacks aren’t favored b the establishment. /sarcasm

  12. Harvard and the rest of the Ivys are destroying their own brand in the quest for “Diversity”. Instead of admitting the highest GPA and SAT scorers they want a “Well Rounded” applicant. Basically they want their applicants to have been birthed on a dirt floor in Africa, or have spent the last 5 years with their dicks tucked between their legs because they believe themselves have been “assigned” the wrong gender.
    Any way, Harvard Grad or not, I will never hire anyone other than a white man. I don’t need “diversity” when I need a dentist, lawyer, or accountant.

    1. Isn’t it awesome when a poor man birthed on a dirt floor beats a rich turd born on a marble floor? Diversity… it’s in your future… deal with it.

        1. Careful you may get what you wish for, just ask white people in California. They got rid of affirmative action and went merit based only, nothing but grades and scores mattered. Watch a UCLA, USC or Stanford game and look in the crowd, very few white faces. Asians ( and i mean all of Asia, India included) dominate , it is so bad white people are calling for a other factors besides merit to be considered. The community colleges in California also look like china town. Get used to it…

        2. I can’t blame them for figuring it out.
          It sounds like white parents need to start beating the shit out of their little fuck trophies; throwing away their kids video games and replacing them with violins, an ass whooping for anything less than an ‘A’ like the Asian “Tiger Moms”.
          The Chinese man came to the US, worked 14 hours a day in a restaurant and sent his son to Berkeley. The middle class white boy is “studying” communications at a 3rd rate state school and Shan’iqwa’s bastard son is rotting in a cell in San Quentin.
          Whites have no one to blame but themselves.

    2. Hilarious that you think the people with the highest GPA’s and SAT’s are white males. White males are outperformed consistently by Indians and East Asians. Obviously you didn’t attend any Ivy’s or comparable schools, as you would have the privilege to see people of all races and genders doing top-tier, excellent work. It’s better to leave that privilege to the intellectual elite.

  13. No is mentioning the obvious facts, that this fucker is an Asian chingook and this is what what they do. They don’t have high IQ at all and are insect like and backwards as fuck. They are basically primitives, yet the dumbshits here are always frothing about gookoids and chingook males like they are some sort of a special case. Climbing and backstabbing their way to power in a slimy way is the nature of the chinkazoo.
    I would say they are even worse than blacks, because everyone thinks these chink fuckers are the paragon of goodness and think that having relations with them is sort of social boon as indicated by the retards on the rforums. They are basically depigmented niggers in everything they do and in what they are.

    1. Out of ~7 billion people on Earth, bilions of blacks, Asians, Latins, etc. are not “human.” Makes sense. Words like “gookoids”, “chingook”, “chinkazoo”, “niggers”,etc., simply betraying your anger, frustration and fear. Racefear and buttfear, the fear of your looming irrelevance. Sweet.
      Each and every day, fewer and fewer people care about the color of our skin. The free ride is over, and it burns. So you sit there flailing around like a neutered baboon… for what? An upvote or five. Perhaps even 20. Fail.
      But after all is said and done, you remain an insignificant, irrelevant, neutered baboon; wailing and caterwauling and drowning your keyboard in tears. Nice.

  14. He is being indicted federally. Why do you believe he will get a less serious sentence than that offerred to Aaron Shwartz? 99% of criminal cases gets bail. If they wanted to cut him a break, they would have filed state rather than federal charges.

  15. This incident just happened a little over a week ago, right before Christmas break. I imagine everyone just wanted to get home for the holidays. The verdict is still out on what’s going to happen to this kid. It’s obvious they went soft if for no other reason he appeared way to pussy to be considered any threat. They might make an example of him just yet.

  16. A hotbed for Marxist ideology? Do you have any evidence for this assertion or are you just regurgitating Fox News and Rush Limbaugh? Do you even know what Marxist ideology is? Harvard may produce some socially liberal ideas and it could MAYBE be argued that they indoctrinate their students with them, but that’s a far, far cry from Marxism which would seek to completely overturn the system that their students will lead in the future. Stop regurgitating right-wing talking points and start thinking for yourself.

    1. You’re right, Harvard is really a hotbed of anti-feminist classes, and investigations into the genetic basis of intelligence.

        1. Feminism does equal Marxism – look it up.
          Frankfurt School and the Long March. What are you, new?
          Just because an idiot on Fox News says something, doesn’t mean that it’s not true.

        2. Its pretty simple Jose. Marxism, the ideology founded by Karl Marx ( makes sense right?) and Friederich Engels was the foundation on which Lenin built his communism. Communism used agitation propaganda in the form of feminism among other things to wage class warfare and destroy the society upon which they considered part and parcel of the bourgeois.
          Now you have permission to sit down and shut the fuck up.

        3. Actually pretty interesting stuff, if you are into economics and philosophy. Reading “Capital” right now. Its a pretty lengthy book.

        4. They’re not equal, right: Marxism is the promotion class-war against the rich, feminism is gender-war against men.
          Then there is the Frankfurt School’s cultural marxism of which the other two are special cases: critical theory is the promotion of C-wars by A against B for A and B being in C, while A is less useful than B.
          Further examples of that template are environmentalism, ableism, fat-acceptance, “richard-stallman-ism” and of course the all-time classic: racism.
          To find A, B and C for all those examples is left to the reader.

    2. So where did you hear that standard liberal line about “regurgitating Fox News”? Liberals use it all the time when they want to avoid confronting inconvenient facts.
      You can’t beat liberals for pure psychological projection. They all parrot exactly the same opinions, and what do they accuse people they disagree with of doing? Parroting opinions.
      So predictable.

      1. I’m just trying to inject some reason and remove hyperbole from the conversation. To say that Harvard is a hotbed for Marxist indoctrination is as absurd as saying that the University of Havana is a hotbed for the indoctrination of Milton Friedman style free-market economics.

        1. Ahh – I see. That explains my confusion. Marxism (of the non-cultural variety) is mostly an economic theory which is rarely accepted as valid in American universities, and much less so is it used to indoctrinate students. Thanks for the clarification. I have a feeling that many of the commenters here don’t quite understand those nuances.

        2. Classical Marxist economics is on the outs because it conflicts with neoliberalism and the gospel of free trade, suggesting that they may not be such a great idea after all.

        3. It is experiencing a comeback. My flavor is Free Market Socialism, as I have told here I think. The group I mostly follow is called “Real World Economics” (previously the “Post-Autistic Economics Review”).

        4. ‘Free Market Socialism’
          What other Oxymorons are popular these days?
          Chaste Whores?
          Benevolent Governments?
          Gay for Pay?

        5. The market is independent from the distribution of the results of production. In “Free Market Socialism”, also called “Market Socialism”, the means of production are owned by the workers, and they compete with other workers and their companies in a free market. Imagine if companies were cooperatives, and then they compete against each other, or in Corporations against other Corporations (coops of second degree). An example is the Mondragon Cooperative Corporation in Spain.
          You can have also Monopoly/Oligopoly Capitalism (more or less the system in use in the US). The market is always regulated in some way, its very existence is a result of regulation to define its bounds and rules.

        6. Most liberals are Marxists in both senses. It’s true that academics don’t self-identify as Marxists because they “don’t accept the economic theory”, but they do accept quite a substantial subset of it.

        7. Dude, you’re a marxist. And if you want to make it less obvious I suggest you lose terms such as “means of production” from your active vocabulary.

        8. Yes, I am a Marxist. The book(s) is called “Das Kapital”. Is the work that described how the system works. What defines this system from others is the ownership of the means of production, which are… well, that.
          How else would you call them? The “tools”? “Means of production” subsumes all the forms that serve production when a human utilizes them (by what we call “working”) into one phrase.
          Separate (in your mind) the description of the system from the proscriptive chapters of Marx (communism and all that), and you have a world-changing scientist that put a name and a meaning to what was going on in what we call “the economy”. Again, the book is called “Capital”, not “Communism”. That would come later.

        9. I’m founding a start-up myself. I have no “means of production” save a PC to develop software with and my brain. A PC costs about five hundred euro. Is that what you mean by “means of production”?
          The idea that “means of production” are what matters to make money in any shape or form is one of the core failures of Marx’ understanding of economics.
          He wanted to believe it because otherwise he would have to face the sad reality of being the spoiled, useless disappointment of virtuous (and Jewish) parents.
          Many others wanted to, and still want to, believe it for the same reason.
          The *human mind* is the source of all wealth. Of course that truth isn’t popular among those who would rather blame external factors for their impotence.

        10. “The *human mind* is the source of all wealth”
          Well, that is a Marxist idea, that all wealth come from work (objective theory of value). It was posited against the idea that, as an example, earth gave value (instead of the laborers that worked it). This was later reviewed by the “marginalist revolution” and its “subjective theory of value”.
          The question is: how to divide the gains between the guy that has the grand idea and the people that make that idea possible? That is another question, because Marx´s problem is with the guy that receives something just because he owns the capital, not the guy that works himself (sometimes being the same guy).

    3. Thomas Sowell look him up. Attended Harvard now heads a think tank for Stanford economics lectured at UCLA and Chicago U. He basically says the self anointed elite at Harvard manufacture social issues to protect their invested interests. They create a bureaucratic system with the power of the State this always leads to a Marxist ideology.

  17. When are people going to learn. Grades are just numbers on a piece of paper. They just show you you’re level of knowledge on a particular subject. Grades are not life. School is not life. Life begins after school. No one should ever let words or numbers on a piece of paper (grades or money) control your life. If you let an inanimate object cause you senseless stress, what does that say about you? If it’s not life or death situations….it’s not that serious. Act accordingly.

  18. Great reporting, Douglas. The big question I see: Will the dumbing down of America and the West destroy their control mechanism being used to dumb down America and the West?
    This question is philosophically the same as the engineering conundrum of maximizing the yield efficiency of a bomb, particularly a nuclear bomb. The challenge is to NOT blow up bomb structure BEFORE it contributes to the explosion. As are result of the law of conservation, corruption is vice that can win against rivals but itself in the form of dependency, which is weakness, and also the essence of femininity.
    Civilized patriarchy can’t be beat except by itself. We relearn that common sense that I suspect was not once regarded by the ancients as wisdom per se because it was too fucking obvious and anyone who did not get it was soon extinct, and good riddance.

  19. To paraphrase Thomas Sowell to his Harvard professor: Has anyone ever noticed when there is a monumental fuck up there is always a Harvard man in the middle of it. Harvard professor response: what you noticed that too…

  20. I recall about a year ago about 50 Harvard students were caught plagiarising and blatantly cheating on exams. Not a single expulsion ( an almost universal punishment for a crime of that nature) and I think parents were pushing that they should not result the exam or assignment. So much for the honor code

  21. Larry Summers was that place’s last chance. They kicked him to the curb at the first opportunity. I can’t wait to see them implode along with Penn-Child-Rape-State.

  22. Harvard has a side program that accepts any one that wants to pay for a Harvard degree. It’s called Harvard alternate or something like that but it impresses people and they just write Harvard down on their resume

    1. I have run into this. It is some sort of online “distance learning” degree like phoenix or liberty offers. I know a guy that has a masters in public admin or some silly shit from Harvard. He has never sat foot on the campus.

    2. It’s called Harvard Extension School
      http://www.extension.harvard.edu/
      Haven’t looked into it much, but I sense Harvard’s selling itself out for a few bucks. I’ve heard anecdotes where HES students were treated like interlopers if they attended certain Harvard gatherings or events.
      I agree with the general sentiment in this thread, higher-education in America has become an absolute joke.

  23. This article was written by someone who has clearly never visited Harvard or any other Ivy school, never known anyone who attended one, and probably couldn’t come close to getting in. You have no idea. (You know who goes to Harvard? The guys who end up on the crew team and in the final clubs and get hired by the I-banks and into the elite grad schools? Alphas. Not lame-ass cheap-suit-clad PUA wannabe alphas, real alphas. If you don’t know the difference, you don’t know anything at all about how the world works.)

    1. Lol argument unsupported by fact and word definition games. Butthurt ivory tower dipshit detected. I bet this article also rustled the Jimmies of charles and Spencer at Harvard club. Bradley cooper called, he wants his character back from wedding crashers.

      1. lol’d at this post. If he was in the ivory tower why would he give two shits about what faceless peasants on the internet think?
        Bemused, to a tee.

    2. I’m not an ivy leaguer I went to Stanford (we like to think we’re better) and I agree.
      Loads of unfounded claims in the narrative weaved by this author.
      Harvard is a private campus, first and foremost. The implications of such are considerably different had it been a public state school.
      The same goes for non-ivy private universities.

    3. Nice try. I looked up the student demographics and I can assure you there are not that many alphas on that campus.
      You are one dumb ivy league cocksucker if you think crew, final clubs, elite grad schools has anything to do with how the “world works”.

  24. How did they defeat TOR? Did they suspect it must had been a university student at Harvard, so they looked at the times who logged onto the private student wifi at Harvard and could perhaps see that he was using TOR? Perhaps Guerrilla mail used javascript that logged his real IP (didn’t turn off java).
    I’ve always been curious on how TOR anonymity would hold up against scrutiny from every federal law enforcement agency in the US, looks like it didn’t hold up very well.
    There are conspiracy theories that say TOR is really taken over by the NSA.

    1. “But the FBI also noticed that Guerilla Mail had been accessed through
      Tor. All the FBI had to do was get a list of Harvard users who accessed
      the Tor network and go through it until they found that Kim accessed
      Tor just before the emails were sent.”
      “‘This is one of the problems of using a rare security tool,” Bruce Schneier, a security technician, wrote on his blog. “The FBI didn’t have to break Tor; they just used conventional police mechanisms to get Kim to confess.’”
      http://www.ibtimes.com/harvard-university-bomb-hoax-how-fbi-used-tor-network-catch-suspect-eldo-kim-1517598
      According to Snowden, the NSA doesn’t like TOR. It’s nice to know that your ISP has a log of when you accessed TOR.

  25. “It seems Harvard University is a very sheltered social environment.” Yeah, Afirm that. And it’s not just Harvard. American universities are doing a tremendous disservice to their students by creating gender-neutral, neutered, polictically-correct incubation zones of leftist utopian-idealism. All the more ironic as if I’m not mistaken, Harvard began as a Christian (Unitarian) seminary.
