Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Court Rules that Carnegie Mellon University Can Be Held Accountable for Taking Qatar Money to Permit Antisemitic Hatred on CampusFrom the Wall Street Journal: a student is suing Carnegie Mellon University. She says that she was harassed by antisemitic Muslims, but was discouraged from filing a complaint. She is suing on the theory that Carnegie Mellon discriminated against her because they were paid $1 billion by Qatar to permit antisemitic attacks on campus. A judge refused to dismiss this complaint and says that a "reasonable jury" may well find that Carnegie Mellon allowed the brutalization of its Jewish students due to the Qatar bribe. So the case goes forward.![]() Eitan Fischberger Steve McGuire Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

At the University where I don't teach anymore except for when I need beer money, I would, every so often, walk down into the student union hall and after passing all the student support groups for LGBTQ+. Hispanics, ragheads, etc, I would stop and ask where the Jewish Student council was located. The looks I received were excellent!

Irrelevant to this university, but perhaps not irrelevant to the overall wider topic of college, I saw an interesting ad recently.
It was for one of these online colleges that advertises heavily. It boiled down to, "sure, lots of people are saying college isn't worth it and are choosing to do something else instead, but we provide really good value so you should still consider us." That's a a *huge* shift in approach. If they're taking that tack, they're probably hearing that a lot during recruitment. "College? Nah. GFY" must be increasingly common if they're now directly addressing it in advertising. I hope that these guys as essentially a commercial college are just the first visible crack that ultimately brings down the colleges. Outfits like CMU are in a different category and will be immune to that kind of change, but most schools are not in that category.

Posted by: Diogenes ======= Back in the day, I taught Administrative Law and our university had a contract to teach local government officials from China.

I assume they just would rather have kids from other states (also girls) Posted by: BlackOrchid at January 30, 2026 01:58 PM (emBoF) 161

Thank you for responding.
You're far more adept about international politics than I. Posted by: L Khasshoggi, instead of his uncle Adnan, the arms dealer, was a registered agent of Qatar in the US and basically slapped his name on Qatar ghostwritten PR statements as a 'journalist'. Basically a front man for the Al Thani family that was also stirring up trouble in Saudi royal succession at the time. MBS took it personally and had Khashoggi painfully wacked by Saudi intel peeps. Wasn't reported much here but the Saudis and the rest of the Gulf States don't much like the Al Thanis and at one point during the Trump I term, I think, threatened to invade and remove them. Wiki "In June 2017, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, the Maldives, Mauritania, Senegal, Djibouti, the Comoros, Jordan, the Tobruk-based Libyan government and finally the Hadi-led Yemeni government severed diplomatic relations with Qatar and blocked Qatar's airspace and sea routes along with Saudi Arabia blocking the only land crossing over its relations with Iran, Al-Jazeera reporting negative information about other GCC states and Egypt and the country's alleged support of Islamist groups."

Silver spot price on Comex at $84.61 per oz. This is a huge drop since yesterday. and has nothing to do with the fundamentals of Silver. Try to buy actual physical Silver at this dip in price, and you will find very little is available. For example Silver Eagles in Quantity less than 20 each are selling for $101.09 on SD Bullion. China is attempting to corner the physical silver supply by paying $149.00 per oz for the metal in Shanghai. Gold at $4759 per oz is also down dramatically.

People are focusing on the fact she is hinting that something bad should happen to people that disagree with her but I want to focus on the other part. How does she know right wingers are wrong? She didn't give specifics, but this generally falls into one of two categories 1) Philosophy/morality - leftists will claim with a straight face that if conservatives don't support "trans rights" or "gay marriage" or any number of leftist goals they are not morally wrong but factually wrong. 2) The narrative cocoon - the other side of this is leftist disavow any information that does not come out of the approved leftist curated narrative sources. So COVID did not come out of a Chinese lab, the clot shot had no side effects, and Haitian immigrants did not eat wildlife in OH. Why? Well the approved documents say so!

Facts in the case,
"a Jewish student of Israeli descent, alleges she was subjected to “pervasive anti-Jewish discrimination” during her time at the university. The five-count complaint, filed by the Lawfare Project on Canaan’s behalf, claims systematic antisemitic behavior and abuse beginning in 2018 by CMU faculty and administration. The alleged abuse began when Mary-Lou Arscott, studio professor at CMU’s School of Architecture and associate head for design fundamentals, purportedly denied Canaan a homework assignment extension so she could attend an Oct. 29, 2018, memorial service for victims of the Oct. 27 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. In 2022, the complaint alleges, Arscott commented on a project Canaan created about the conversion of a public space into a private space through an eruv, and said a wall in the project looked like the wall Israelis used “to barricade Palestinians out of Israel.” Canaan also alleges that Arscott said she should instead focus on “what Jews do to make themselves such a hated group.” Canaan claims she reported Arscott’s behavior to her studio professor who told her not to worry because Arscott wouldn’t be grading her.

Wow. In the Epstein emails DOJ dropped, Jeffrey sent himself emails memorializing a fight he had with Bill Gates. In it he says that Bill Gates got STD’s from Russian hookers, and then asked Jeffrey for antibiotics that Bill could secretly give to Melinda without her noticing.

According to the complaint, Arscott sent Canaan a link to a “violently antisemitic blog,” the The Funambulist, and copied CMU’s chief diversity officer and the vice provost of diversity, equity and inclusion on the email.
When Canaan complained, other professors turned on the student, telling her to stop “acting like a victim” and that they would not “be an advocate for the Jews,” the complaint alleges. Lawfare Project attorney Ziporah Reich said Arscott is an “extremely influential” person at CMU. Riech noted that another professor, whom Canaan turned to for help, said she was reticent to speak up against Arscott because Arscott helped her get hired at CMU and she “needed to be careful about what she did.” The lawsuit lists detailed reports Canaan allegedly made to various school administrators who either ignored her pleas, failed to take any action to protect her, punish her abusers, or in the case of the schools Title IX coordinator, “aggressively discouraged Canaan from filing a formal complaint which would have trigged an investigation of Arscott." https://tinyurl.com/Complaint-in-District-Court Posted by: whig at January 30, 2026 02:27 PM (2swu2) 320

TJM I've been wondering about the legal recourse to this organized interference with LE. Confident there are various laws that could be used. DOJ saying funders are being investigated. Too much to hope that they're being investigated for funding illegal activity of the sort just mentioned? Because funding in itself seems OK (1st Amendment and probably many other things).

Posted by: pawn at January 30, 2026 02:28 PM (jnZe When I was going to grad school at (famous CS university) way back in the previous century (though not as far back as 1976) one of the labs I considered joining required that you be a US citizen, as they had lots of DoD funding. This lab had a surprising amount of physical security as well (no armed guards, but maybe only a couple of levels down from that). The prof who ran the lab described their current research something like "well, suppose someone goes missing in the woods, like their car breaks down or their plane crashes or whatever... it would be nice to have a program that could look at aerial photos and locate vehicles among the visual clutter, so that a rescue operation could be carried out." Yup. The only reason DoD would spend cubic fucktons of money is to improve search and rescue operations. There's no other reason they could be interested in finding vehicles concealed in terrain.

It was really well done, went a bit overboard to be cool, but it was overall well written and very well directed. Very beautiful to look at and listen to.

Have you ever tried searching the text in an email on outlook? CTRL-F ? Heck no, that will just forward your email. Why? Because at microsoft they were doing tests of the user interface and CTRL-F was search like every single other software but one tester said no, CTRL-F was forward on this shit email program he used to use so CHANGE IT! And that's what they did. Immediately. That tester? Bill Gates.

Wow. In the Epstein emails DOJ dropped, Jeffrey sent himself emails memorializing a fight he had with Bill Gates. In it he says that Bill Gates got STD’s from Russian hookers, and then asked Jeffrey for antibiotics that Bill could secretly give to Melinda without her noticing.

Gates, Jobs, Cuban....... Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at January 30, 2026 02:47 PM (Zz0t1) While Jobs didn't invent the tech directly, he was one smart motherfucker. There were literally dozens of Apple-equivalent computer companies at the time. Jobs made the difference there. Gates, on the other hand, lucked into getting the contract to supply what became MS-DOS/PC-DOS to IBM (as I recall, his dad had contacts there). He didn't write MS-DOS. He bought it. The guy who actually wrote it had hacked it together in a couple of weeks so he could have a rudimentary OS for the new 8086/8088 processor. Gates offered him $50K for it (conveniently failing to mention that IBM wanted to buy a gazillion copies). My dude was all "$50,000 for two week's work? Fuck yeah!" Then Gates turned around and stiffed IBM by making it a requirement that he be able to sell the OS to other companies. Result: IBM got its lunch eaten by PC clones. Gates isn't stupid either. He's smart and ruthless. Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at January 30, 2026 02:56 PM (IG3/x) 430

>>> 372 91 >>>Melinda was pissed when she found out that a Russian hooker gave Gates a penicillin resistant strain of VD.
Even better... in a recent dump of new Epstein File docs, Jeffery talks to Bill about how Bill asked him for the names of antibiotics to slip to Melinda without her knowing, so she wouldn't realized he'd cheated on her. And talked about how Epstein arranged for Bill to be introduced to the Russian hookers. When it comes to eating burgers and schtupping women, Bill Gates apparently has zero self restraint. Epstein was being pressured by Bill to resign from boards, I think one was the bill and Melinda gates foundation. In the emails he refuses. I will say this, Epstein writes very properly. I thought his emails would sound crass, and instead he sounds like a Victorian gentleman. Like Charles Augustus Milverton plotting his next blackmail scheme, before Sherlock Holmes can foil him.
