A Global Network of Indoctrination Centers

1/24/2020

Through their dishonesty, incompetence, nugatory programs, and lowered standards, nearly all universities in the West have become or are becoming what I personally refer to as citadels of darkness.* Nevertheless, the pursuit of a university education is still highly regarded and highly valued in the West. Of course, the education most universities offer currently barely rises above indoctrination.

This holds particularly true for any post-secondary institution affiliated with philanthropist extraordinaire, George Soros - a man so committed to ensuring young people receive the "right" kind of education that he recently announced he would be investing one billion (yes, billion with a 'B') into "a new global network of universities designed to promote liberal values and his vision of an open society." Soros hopes his investment will "stop the drift toward authoritarianism" around the world."

Last year, Hungary forced George's Central European University - which Soros set up in Budapest and which had served as the flagship for the esteemed philanthropist's open society vision - out of Budapest.

That must have been a real 'ouchy' moment for Soros because he recently acknowledged that "
the CEU had not been strong enough by itself to become the educational institution the world requires."

The solution? Establish an Open Society University Network (OSUN) which, according to Soros, will be 
“a new and innovative educational network that the world really needs.”

Yes, that's exactly what the world needs. Do tell me more, please.
  

“OSUN will be unique. It will offer an international platform for teaching and research. In the first phase it will connect closer together an existing network. In the second phase, we shall open up this network to other institutions who want to join and are eager and qualified to do so.

“To demonstrate our commitment to OSUN, we are contributing one billion dollars to it. But we can’t build a global network on our own; we will need partner institutions and supporters from all around the world to join us in this enterprise.”


Well, at least he admitted that a current network exists. As for the network he envisions, imagine a giant spiderweb of citadels of darkness spanning the globe churning out vitriolic Greta Thunberg-like activists, agitators, lawmakers, professors, and journalists all fanatically dedicated to Schwartz György's mission of building "vibrant and inclusive democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens."

Man, I love the smell of demonically-inspired totalitarian utopia in the morning.

"the drift toward authoritarianism"

What a bare-faced liar! Firstly it is not a drift, but a conscious and planned strategy; secondly, Soros is one of its prime architects.

Soros creates the exact problems for which he (so generously) offers the solution of putting himself and his like into total command...

'Authoritarian' is an interesting word, however, because it is used such as to apply only to what the hard Left call 'right wing' organisations and nations. A bit like 'captalist' in this respect.

Whereas the original and proper term 'totalitarian' is understood (and was intended from the start) to apply to the Left (communist) as much (or more) as to the (so-called) Right (fascist).

Meanwhile, all the richest and most powerful institutions and nations *and corporations* unite (see Davos, this week) to espouse some version of Leftism (no matter what they call themselves).

Attention is drawn away from everybody's everyday experience of bureaucratic authoritarianism/ totalitarianism - eg in and from the most 'liberal' of liberal universities, from the Woke corporations (Amazon, Facebook, Google), from government agencies; with their bureaucractic micro-surveillance and regulation.

Their attention is directed towards a wholly false and imaginary Hard Right/ Authoritarian/ Hate-driven 'threat' from mildly-Leftist people like Trump, Boris Johnson, or centre Left parties like Conservatives and Republicans, and Emmanual Goldstein-style fabrications like neo-fascists, White Supremacists, and 'Extreme' white nationalists...

Ho Hum... But at the bottom line, in face of such a vast avalanche of propaganda and fakery; people are going to work out their own salvation - as is usual, one way or another.

The lies are easier than ever to spot, if someone is honest and has a good heart - but if they aren't and don't - well, what can be done?

@ Bruce - "The lies are easier than ever to spot:"

That's what prompted me to post this in the first place. It's all so blatant and upfront. This is even beyond communist-levels of ridiculousness. Whoever doesn't see it at this point is either complicit or brain-dead.

I'm not driven or obsessed by politics, but I must confess, it felt good when Hungary succeeded in driving Soros' beloved CEU out of the country. The problem is, they only managed to drive him as far as Vienna. Another problem is he has a veritable army behind him all working on finding a way to return. In the case of Hungary, it's personal for Soros.

About the Open Society - the idea comes from Karl Popper, and it is supposedly Popper's views that are being propagated. But as someone who used to be a keen Popperian from my middle teens, and who read and thought about Popper for a couple of decades or more - Soros seems very obviously to be doing almost the opposite of what Popper advocated. I wonder if Soros even realises this, or whether he truly believes he works towards a Popperian society?

Not that I personally would want a Popper-type society nowadays; but I can't see that KP would have agreed that funding terrorism and riots, fomenting intra-societal group hatred, misleading and lying, and blocking all dissenting opinion by all possible means - was what he was advocating...

@ Bruce - Yes, Soros proclaims his admiration of Popper at every possible opportunity, but like you, I cannot fathom how what Soros has done/is doing has anything remotely to do with Popper. Soros' idea of an open society seems to be an easily pliable puppet government that will jump at his every whim and provide him every opportunity to strip the nation of all possible resources and real power while his various groups revel in creating chaos and hatred at every turn.

On a side note, Bruce, I would like to add that this ties in well with your post on fear today. No matter what, people should not live in abject fear of the global elite nor fear what they do. The global elite/Establishment are fallible, and they have committed many blunders and errors lately. In fact, I get the sense they are the ones gripped by fear; hence, the frantic effort to push things like this network and other efforts like climate change hysteria through.

@Frank - Important point. I am reminded of how Aragorn precipitates Sauron's attack on Minas Tirith before it is fully prepared (by revealing himself to Sauron as the living heir of Isuldur, via the Palantir) - and how this hasty strike enables Sauron to be defeated (albeit, only just). We should therefore be encouraged by this haste, and apparent panic; because it gives us a greater probability of defeating the dark powers (in *this* world, I mean; there is no problem about defeating the Dark Lord in the Next world - for those who follow Jesus).
