Spare Me The Campus Fem-Zio-Fascists Ruining My Student Life: An Undergraduate’s Fearless Broadside Against The Joyless PC Cultural Marxism Takeover Of Our Universities
By
Jacob Furedi: The drunken
travails of Kingsley Amis’s Lucky Jim — a shambolic junior academic —
have long become a byword for the excesses of university life.
Flirting,
seduction and seeing how many pints you could fit in between lectures
were once relatively harmless pastimes on campuses across Britain.
Yet
today, too many universities seem determined to nanny students who are
deemed too fragile to be exposed to the rough and tumble of the real
world.
Consider
the fact that, this week, it emerged that all new students arriving at
Oxford and Cambridge are being asked to attend ‘consent classes’ aimed
at preventing rape and sexual harassment at the universities.
At
Oxford, the courses are compulsory as part of freshers’ week, while the
student union is urging rugby players to attend anti-sexism workshops
to fight ‘lad culture’.
Obama Warned To Defuse Tensions With Russia, "Unintended Consequences Likely To Be Catastrophic"

ALERT MEMORANDUM FOR: The President
FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity
SUBJECT: PREVENTING STILL WORSE IN SYRIA
We write to alert you, as we did President George W. Bush, six weeks before the attack on Iraq, that the consequences of limiting your circle of advisers to a small, relatively inexperienced coterie with a dubious record for wisdom can prove disastrous.* Our concern this time regards Syria.
We are hoping that your President’s Daily Brief tomorrow will give appropriate attention to Saturday’s warning by Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova: “If the US launches a direct aggression against Damascus and the Syrian Army, it would cause a terrible, tectonic shift not only in the country, but in the entire region.”

Austerity Is Turning The EuroZone Into A Dead Zone
Introduction by PCR: James K. Galbraith, like his father, John Kenneth Galbraith, is capable of thinking independently of neoliberal economic cant. He has published a good book that describes how powerful private economic interests, shielded by the cloak provided by “free market economists,” have destroyed European democracy in order to loot EU member countries. The European Union is allied with this expropriation of the public sector by private interests, because the development allows the EU to subvert the sovereignty of member countries and to centralize the fiscal policy of member governments in the EU.
I intended to review Galbraith’s important book, but Michael Hudson has done an expert job.

Here is Hudson’s review From CounterPunch:
By Michael Hudson: James Galbraith’s articles and interviews collected in his book Welcome to the Poisoned Chalice trace his growing exasperation at the “troika” – the European Central Bank (ECB), IMF and EU bureaucracy – which refused to loosen their demand that Greece impoverish its economy to a degree worse than the Great Depression. The fight against Greece was, in a nutshell, a rejection of parliamentary democracy after the incoming Syriza coalition of left-wing parties won election in January 2015 on a platform of resisting austerity and privatization.
