Hannah Fearn at Times Higher Education has an article on the warring factions of anthropology departments. Fearn presents this divide as evolutionary anthropologists versus social anthropologists. Actually, there are more schools of anthropology than these two, but Fearn offers an oversimplified public introduction to the subject, with varied commentary, that may be helpful to the new student.
“In some departments they hardly speak. … universities now face a challenge in keeping their anthropology departments operating civilly.”
Students entering the study of anthropology should be warned in advance that they are entering a fragmented and politicized discipline. They may be forced to choose sides very early in their career and waste their time negotiating their way through academic politics.
The article generally ignores the fact that feminist anthropology has now been entirely discredited by follow-up research studies by responsible anthropologists. Some comments in this article treat feminist anthropology as a sort of unfortunate failed series of hypotheses rather than a bogus political movement based on sloppy research methods offering false conclusions as part of the Marxist takeover of the academy.
Readers of The Hidden Masters understand the fatal flaw of anthropology and are spared from wasting their time with pseudoscientific poseurs and academic politics. What should we do about the war between the Marxists and the Darwinists inside the universities? Answer: cut the socialist funding for all of them. Let them find their own sources of funding. An unfunded Marxist has an opportunity to become a polite and responsible member of a society and find a productive occupation.

NWOU is on the lookout for stories about local governments dealing with the bad outcomes of the socialist takeover. Now that California’s budget problems are forcing the state to cut funding for counties, the counties must also cut spending to balance their budgets. CBS News reports that Sacramento County will begin denying nonemergency health care to illegal aliens next month. Those who depend on socialism eventually end up feeling betrayed by its false promises. (more…)

KansasCity.com has a brief article on the Missouri Law Enforcement Report, which warns Missouri law enforcement about the dangers of organized conservative opposition to Obama’s New Order. NWOU wondered why President Obama would bother to publicly engage Rush Limbaugh right after taking office. We interpret Obama’s permanent campaign in light of Clinton’s precedent. (more…)

Media attention lately has focused on Elkhart, Indiana as the poster city for U.S. economic decline. That’s because Elkhart is the center of the nation’s RV manufacturing industry. RV sales have tanked, and most RV manufacturers have gone out of business or are facing bankruptcy. But Cleveland may be in worse shape. Alex Kotlowitz reports in the New York Times Magazine on Cleveland’s real estate problems. One out of 13 houses in Cleveland is vacant. When large numbers of homes in a neighborhood are foreclosed, neighbors often leave in a “downhill snowball effect. ” Who wants to live in a dangerous neighborhood populated by transients camping in deserted houses that have been stripped of plumbing, wiring, fixtures, even front steps? Plummeting house prices in bad neighborhoods leave most mortgage-holders under water. There is little incentive for them to remain in their homes. Around 100,000 residents have left Cleveland recently. Former middle-class neighborhoods have been decimated and probably will never recover. Kotlowitz does a nice job of explaining how mortgage companies and banks evade their ownership responsibilities, even ignoring local court decisions. The inability of the criminal justice system to catch up with and regulate the behavior of real estate predators emerges as a central theme in this failing system. Cleveland’s solution to the problem of gutted and abandoned houses is now to destroy them. That’s how much of the “stimulus” funding allocated to Cleveland will be spent.

Understanding the history of Planned Parenthood should be a requirement for all graduates of New World Order University. Planned Parenthood’s founders had ties to both the Nazi eugenicists and the Russian Communists. Planned Parenthood has been a driving force for population reduction around the world. Many of Planned Parenthood’s policies have encouraged coercion and have exploited the weak.
Today’s post is not about the history of Planned Parenthood, it is about what actually goes on during counseling at Planned Parenthood clinics today in the United States. Do you suspect that Planned Parenthood counselors encourage abortion and fail to protect pregnant teenagers? Lila Rose at Live Action has some answers.

The Sacramento Bee has a graphic showing the increase in California’s unemployment rate by county. California’s unemployment rate is now over 10 percent. Some California counties have unemployment rates over 20 percent. Of course the official statistics are juggled to make the unemployment rate seem smaller than it really is. The Bee also has a story on Moody’s downgrade of California’s general obligation debt rating. (more…)

Useless Dissident has published an interview with former Soviet journalist Yuri Bezmenov, who defected to the West in 1970. The interview, by G. Edward Griffin (The Creature from Jekyll Island), is in three parts. Part One deals mainly with Bezmenov’s biography. The good stuff is in Part Three, where Bezmenov explains how Soviet disinformation and propaganda permeated the American media and educational system. Although he doesn’t offer an exhaustive survey of the ways the U.S. government cooperated with the Soviet Union, Bezmenov offers enough details of economic, cultural, diplomatic, and journalistic exchanges for anyone to grasp the load of propaganda transferred from the Soviet Union to the United States. For example, the Soviet Union wrote the talking points for anti-Vietnam war propaganda adopted by the Left in the United States. (more…)
