  Battle Of The Billionaires MARK WAUCK Huh—and you thought this Harvard dustup was about plagiarism? Please! My wife asked me who Bill Ackman is. Max Blumenthal has the answer: Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal Penny Pritzker  is at the center of the antisemitism drama at Harvard, where she serves as the senior fellow of the Corporation which presides over the university's endowment. She essentially purchased the position in 2021 with a $100 million donation  to build a new wing of the school's economics department. A year later,  she oversaw the appointment of Claudine Gay as Harvard president. For years, Pritzker has been one of the most identifiable faces of the Democratic Party's elite donor class.  Apart from her position at Harvard,  she serves as the Biden admin's Special Representative on the Economic Recovery (read: corporate looting) of Ukraine. She is also a dedicated pro-Israel donor  whose family built a Hyatt hotel on land seized from Palestinians in East Jer

  Scientists Discover Animals Breathe BY   BRIGGS Scientists— Expert  scientists—have discovered that animals breathe. And they are none too happy about it. For these same scientists tell us that animal respiration contributes to global warming. Now called “climate change.” And things that contribute to global warming, now called “climate change”, should not be allowed, because “climate change”, once called global warming, is bad. Why? Don’t ask. When I saw this shocking new research, I became alarmed. I knew there were a lot of animals in the world, and the wretched beasties breathe. Just how bad could animal breathing be? I checked. Insects, once source claims, number some  10 quintillion . Which is 10^18. Which is a lot. Ants alone account for some  20 quadrillion breathers . That’s 20 x 10^15. Ants breathe. They suck up oxygen through what passes for their skin and, what’s worse, emit  carbon dioxide  through that same non-skin! And as every schoolchild has pounded into them from b

  American Pravda: The Nakba   and the Holocaust  Eliminating the Entire Palestinian People RON UNZ   The Mainstream Media Recognizes the  Nakba EPub Format Two weeks ago the Sunday  New York Times Magazine  published  a long cover-story  on thirty years of failed Middle East peace efforts between Israelis and Palestinians, a tragedy that resulted in the enormous bloodshed and destruction of the last couple of months. The discussion featured three Israeli and three Palestinian academics, moderated by staff writer Emily Bazelon, and the overall tone—for better or for worse—probably reflected the historical and ideological assumptions of the liberal Zionists who dominate the editorial leadership of the  Times  and most other major American media outlets. Bazelon’s introduction ran a few paragraphs, summarizing the history of the conflict, which was portrayed as a struggle between right and right, with two unfortunate peoples battling over the same small piece of land.
