This is most certainly true. They are the tenured folks at colleges and universities - they have way too much power over grants written and curricula nonsense. Their goal is to grow up to be pres of an Ivy League indoctrination camp with way too much mid east money flowing in (with strings).

There's a word for that -- parasite.

Academia was getting heavily infiltrated by Marxist ideology in the early 70's. It has since been just about fully consumed. I don't buy into every conspiracy theory yet some are very real. We are living through another cold war that I hope to God never escalates with China. It is different than the cold war with the USSR. I find it fascinating that so many "leaders" are publicly shaming Trump for bombing Iran yet haven't denounced Iran for its hand in so many egregious attacks. It was past time to neutralize that threat. I don't applaud loss of life, war or violence. Yet at the same time it can be necessary to utilize force to stop those who wield any weaponry upon others. Iran has been a bully in the region for too long. Even other Muslim nations became tired and wary of their tactics
