George Orwell’s in his novel of a world of 1984 a future overrun by Doublethink, Thoughtcrimes and Newspeak. A total war waged on many fronts.
Fast forward to present day. In business, Politics and in universities Cultural Marxism infects all aspects of society. Its fundamental doctrine today as always total control. Where once the Marxists fought their battles for the most part on political and economic fields it is now Academia that has been made to suffer the most.
It is the Universities that have become the most blatant cesspits of Marxist Political Indoctrination. It should surprise no one that this has happened. Long ago with Marxism in terminal decline the left threw aside their losing hand of class warfare and moved their chips all in with Identity Politics and the Progressive Stack.

It is in this world that inconvenient truths are shoved aside on a whim by these Priests now disguised as academics. These men, women and those somewhere between were once hidden away. Not so now. These days, safe in their tenure, they carry out their plan to enslave the youth in an Ideological Gulag tailored to fit the whim of every victim who subscribes. Trolls and Hobbits that have till now lived unimpeded in the undergrowth, rot and decay of these so-called institutions of higher learning.
Enter to the stage Lindsay Shephard, a 22 year Masters Student at Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario. Ms. Shephard was teaching First Year Communication Students grammar and had the audacity to include in a lesson plan a short 5 minute video which sliced part of a debate on the use of pronouns in the English language.
One of participants was, horror of horrors Jordan Peterson. A man who has become the fly in the ointment and on the wall of the echo chambers of Marxist Academia. This man so reviled has had the gall to rise to prominence by pointing out the insanity the improper use of proper pronouns.
He for they,
Zhe for Zir.
The fateful day came and the Intrepid TA proceeded to include in discussion in a class that much maligned video. Not surprisingly snowflakes as is the case these days proceeded to melt away. Later after class finished the inevitable complaints were anonymously sent. First to higher ups in the school. Then to those in control of content of curriculum in the department where Ms. Shephard worked. Retribution for wrongthink would be then close at hand.
Predictably and citing a need for safe spaces and understanding as grounds for censure the Administration at this School of Indoctrination forced to Lindsay Shephard to submit to an interrogation by the professor in charge Ms. Shepherd’s class. A beard masquerading as a man by the name of Nathan Rambukkana. Joining him in the rebuke would be Herbert Pimlott a program co-coordinator and fellow in communication department. Soon followed by Adria Joel. A woman who has the job title of Manager of Gendered Violence Prevention and Support.
What followed was, contrary to what is advertised on that sign above, not at all inspiring.
These past few weeks haven’t been a great stretch in public relations for Wilfred Laurier University. The stench from that campus made all the more repugnant because all involved worked in the Communications Department at this University.
Christie Blatchford, an columnist at the National Post, did an excellent opinion piece that laid it all out in inglorious detail.
From article she wrote:
Wilfrid Laurier University teaching assistant Lindsay Shepherd is undoubtedly a better human being than I am — and at 22, probably a more mature one — and may well accept the raft of apologies now coming her way, but I would tell them all to blow the mea culpas out their various bums.

Christie Blatchford: Here’s where Laurier can stick their apology to Lindsay Shepherd
A couple of things struck me listening to recording.
What is most surprising is how unprepared they all were in confronting the wayward TA. And yet thru it all it was the student that was the one who sounded the most wise and the most mature.
To her credit as well she didn’t back down even while being forced to listen to the outrageous and insufferable Nathan Rambukkana. A man who claims to be a teacher yet is quick to use words like problematic and credibility where he is all that and none respectively.
Never missing a beat or a straw man Rambukkana then dismisses a fellow academic Jordan Peterson out of hand by using the pejorative alt-right. Doing so he did what all the great leftist thinkers of this age have done. He accused Peterson and by extension Shephard of white nationalist tendencies and being advocates of Hitler’s Ideals. Doing so he able to safely in his view put aside for another day any serious debate about direction of the Post Modern World.
Then enters Herbert Pimlott pissing and moaning about the tyranny of the Majority. Oh the irony! He even managed to interject somehow Global Warming and Richard Spencer into his dressing down of Ms. Shephard. Not happy with just that he then proceeded to lecture on her and everyone else present on the tyranny of the majority when the discussion was Three against One. The irony and double standards of his position somehow lost on him as he breathlessly puts aside any concerns at how unfair and unbalanced the conversation had become.
Not to be outdone Adria Joel eventually up-talks her way into the conversation by reducing the problem once and for all. Accusing the erstwhile Ms. Shephard of Trans-phobia of all things.
It ended up being nothing more than a Dog Pile of Post Modern Marxist horseshit. Made worse by fact that these three people work as academics. Though deeply angered that this brought Ms. Shephard to tears it does bring joy to my heart.
One can only hope that this young millennial from this experience was red-pilled.
The first instinct of a decent person shouldbe to reach out and protect this woman from these odious people. However violence shouldn’t solve anything. Instead might this world need a divine intervention. I think yes…
A quick cast of the net and I came up with my plan.
And so it is to you Lord Odin that I pray.
Though I am but one man would I be able to make a simple wish.
Could you shake the rust off that staff.
Take a cue from that last smack down of those now banished Ice Giants.
This world needs you now!
Us followers have come to count on you int he past.
These twats deserve what is now coming their way.
If you would be so kind to do this I make this solemn promise.
You can be first star at centre ice for this latest Fourth Turning
And this world would again be forever in your debt.
In the mean time those who believe will ready themselves for the fight.
Warmly Yours in Odin,

I like the writing…well done, RiNS.
-Safe travels.
Yoebbels tells a Hitler story……..take a look:
Bea, I almost watched it until I saw Key and Peele. I lost my enthusiasm for them after one of them did a emotional interpretation for Obama. It was a brazen bit of racial mockery similar to the YoBot trash. Fuck Key and Peele (and YoBot too).
Tinker Bell got madder than a mad dog over this .Look at you big boy. I think Yumbo has been saying similar things about how Culture Marxism has infested all levels of society Especially in the schools ,colleges and universities.At least most of us don’t have to listen to or hear their Marxist bullshit unless they have a position in one of the media outlets.Good for that young gal .I hope she learned who her True enemies really are .Have a good and safe holy day Tinker Bell .Remember to whom we give thanks and why .

FWIW, the Vikings are gone, the castles are still here.
Look for a different approach.
It’s not even just the universities anymore, the insanity is headed straight to grade school. UK schools are banning “best friends” at school to protect other students feelings. You can’t invite anyone at school to your birthday party unless you invite all the children. Apparently, each student can only bond with their electronic tether cell phone. The trend is already making it’s way across the pond where Canadian schools shuffle student groups around to keep friendships from happening. http://www.businessinsider.my/schools-are-banning-best-friends-to-protect-kids-feelings-2017-9/
Kill and Destroy, I detest the expression ‘the pond’ almost as much as the stupid ‘hella’.

This is a perfect example of physiognomy telling you everything that you need to know about the health of a particular specimen. There is something wrong with both men, they are physically ill and look off mentally, spiritually and psychologically. You don’t need to test them to know this, but we’ve become so indoctrinated and unable to formulate our own opinions about anything that hasn’t been approved that we just pretend they’re some kind of normal when they are anything but. I wouldn’t let anyone I care about anywhere near these guys.
It’s a curiosity of our time.
Doesn’t the Bible say something like “you’ll know the fruits by their accomplishments”?
Two very punchable faces. Thanks for the comments folks. I listened to this Tuesday night and was absolutely overcome with rage. To reduce a 22 year old to tears when she didnt do a thing wrong is beyond outrageous. Those two in picture above are not men. Pretty cowardly. They should hide their heads in shame.
Yet they won’t. Now they are the victims. Both of those fucken cucked arseholes are pissing and moaning about all the online hate they are receiving. As far as I am concerned both of them can get fucked with a rusty chainsaw…. sideways.
Anyways waiting in Bawston for flight overseas. Logan is a big Airport. Nice too and the flush toilets are a great touch…
There is a reason the term is ivory towers.
We were headed for a visit to the state mental institution in Austin. Prof Pangloss noted that crazy folks look ill, they don’t look right. I repeat that to say faggots also look strange. Then again, the gropers have proven that you can’t tell by looks alone. Although Harvey Weinstein looks like a lot of Hollywood types, they wear their degeneracy on their faces.
Thanks for posting this Rinzie–i saw this the other day at tom wood’s site and forgot to post it–you did better and wrote an article about it–
have a good trip and say hello to all the silent members of tbp who are trapped across the pond–
happy t’giving to all of you–
here’s a column that tom woods wrote about the incident–hell,they were accusing her of breaking the law,not just being insensitive–
notice her comments at the bottom regarding her liberalism–she’s a kid so i’ll cut her some slack but these lefties never seem to learn–

Most of you know about Jordan Peterson, the brilliant professor of psychology who generated controversy in Canada over his refusal to use the various pronouns by which transgender students insisted on being addressed.
There’s a new wrinkle to the story.
At Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario last week, a teaching assistant named Lindsay Shepherd wound up before a group of university faculty and administration after complaints were filed that she had shown a few minutes of a Jordan Peterson video in a course on critical thinking.
Shepherd had the good sense to record the interrogation.
In the recording, the interrogators falsely accuse her of breaking the law, and then explain that of course we need to explain to students that certain ideas presented in class are wrong and must not be defended.
Her interrogators included two professors (Rambukkana and Pimlott) and one administrator, Adria Joel (Acting Manager of Gendered Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention and Support at the Diversity and Equity Office).
Some excerpts:
Rambukkana: You’re perfectly welcome to your own opinion, but when you’re bringing it into the context of the classroom that can become problematic, and that can become something that is, that creates an unsafe learning environment for students.
Shepherd: But when they leave the university they’re going to be exposed to these ideas, so I don’t see how I’m doing a disservice to the class by exposing them to ideas that are really out there. And I’m sorry I’m crying, I’m stressed out because this to me is so wrong, so wrong….
Rambukkana: …[Peterson] lectures about critiquing feminism, critiquing trans rights —
Shepherd: I’m familiar. I follow him. But can you shield people from those ideas? Am I supposed to comfort them and make sure that they are insulated away from this? Like, is that what the point of this is? Because to me, that is so against what a university is about. So against it. I was not taking sides. I was presenting both arguments.
Rambukkana: So the thing about this is, if you’re presenting something like this, you have to think about the kind of teaching climate that you’re creating. And this is actually, these arguments are counter to the Canadian Human Rights Code. Even since…C-16 [the law Professor Peterson opposed], ever since this passed, it is discriminatory to be targeting someone due to their gender identity or gender expression….
Shepherd: What I have a problem with is, I didn’t target anybody. Who did I target?
Joel: Trans folks.
Shepherd: By telling them ideas that are really out there? Telling them that? By telling them? Really?
Rambukkana: Do you understand how what happened was contrary to, sorry Adria, what was the policy?
Joel: Gendered and Sexual Violence.
Rambukkana: — Gendered and Sexual Violence Policy. Do you understand how —
Shepherd: Sorry, what did I violate in that policy?
Joel: Um, so, gender-based violence, transphobia, in that policy. Causing harm, um, to trans students by, uh, bringing their identity as invalid. Their pronouns as invalid — potentially invalid.
Shepherd: So I caused harm?
Joel: — which is, under the Ontario Human Rights Code a protected thing so something that Laurier holds as a value.
Shepherd: Ok, so by proxy me showing a YouTube video I’m transphobic and I caused harm and violence? So be it. I can’t do anything to control that.
When you hear the entire exchange in the recording, where the tones of voice are present, it’s even more Orwellian. And you respect Lindsay Shepherd even more for standing up to these creeps.
Thankfully, the recording spread quickly, and the university — along with the inquisitors who had been recorded — was promptly made to look ridiculous.
An apology was therefore forthcoming from the university’s president — they’d been embarrassed, Lindsay said, so they had no choice but to apologize.
Of course, the university president also took the opportunity to deplore the effects all the media attention had had on the inquisitors themselves. “I remain troubled by the way faculty, staff and students involved in this situation have been targeted with extreme vitriol. Supports are in place at the university to support them through this situation.”
Well, boo freaking hoo.
The funny thing is, Lindsay Shepherd is on the left. She recently noted that the huge outpouring of support she’s received has generally come from people whose ideas are unlike her own.
“Obviously the vast majority are right wing, and that’s fine. But my question is, why doesn’t it matter for people like me who are left wing, or left-leaning, but still believe in being reasonable?”
A good question. But to ask it is to answer it.

The problem Tampa is with this is bill C16 it does not make it entirely clear that she wouldn’t be charged. It might not stand a court challenge. However the way things work in Canada is stuff like this gets shuffled to human rights tribunal anyways. There the government and social justice warriors take turns grinding the chosen target to dust with motions, delays and legal fees. Most in the end rool over and say Uncle. Example once made forces more of the rest to get back in line.
These places exist only in the nether regions of law somewhere between criminal and civil courts. Their entire and only purpose is to stifle and funnel debate to a place that is acceptable.
Which makes listening to that interogation all the moar interesting. The biggest takeaway from that recording is that these three assholes laid out the overall strategy in inglorious detail.
Hopefully Ms. Shephard will some day realize that people who are really on her side and the ones willing to protect her are folks like one finds here on the Best Blog in the Universe. TBP!
And here it is two days later and I still want to those two faces to punch my fist.
For some reason this seemed to fit..
Nice article Rins! Hell yes ! Praise Odin!. Destroy these pussies, should be a piece of cake after the Ice Giants. I send the rune Thurs in the vipers direction. May their bullshit come back on them ten-fold. Is that the Valkyries I hear in the distance?
As I normally do, I very very quick-scanned the article to see if I’d want to read it. Nope, figured it would just piss me off this THANKSgiving.
But, my pal in Odin wrote it. So, I relented.
As expected this fucken shit pisses me off to the max.
That’s why the 4th turning won’t end well. Can you imagine any circumstances whereby such totally brain-dead brainwashed pieces of shit will EVER become reasonable and normal? Not a chance in hell.
These type of people need to be sent to reeducation camps … or, simply removed from the gene pool. Hilarious fact!
Really sad to see how identity politics continues to be labelled along with Marxism. Marxism has nothing to do with sexuality, minorities, or even liberal vs conservative belief systems.
Mire importantly, you people who keep fixating on Marx are Pavlovian trained so that policies which fuck you over can be sustained.
The AMA for years has been lobbying against national health care because it is “socialist”.
So is barn raising.
It is truly amazing how well trained so many so called conservatives are.
“Marxism has nothing to do with sexuality, minorities, or even liberal vs conservative belief systems.”
But then why do socialists / communists lean liberal / leftist at 90%+ levels? Why did the socialists / communists invent “sexism” as a term, and as a method to divide communities? Why are minorities decrying “racism”, another term invented by socialists / communists?
Methinks you doth protest too much.
You posted the video of Jefferson Airplane twice, what’s your point, Maggie, mushrooms in the cowpies?
I am not getting a good signal for some reason. I think it is the alien visitors.

Nice rant. Thanks, Rob.
