'Global Warming’ Fear is about Money Not Science

That today's university research into so called "global warming" is singularly tied to the money it makes for its proponents, has been the presentation that I have made to students for almost ten years. 

Naturally not only has the faculty not taken me seriously, the university itself has tried to get rid of me through various, unsuccessful, attacks.  Read the following to understand why:

'Global Warming’ Fear is about Money Not Science - Godfather Politics.

What all the "scientists" argue is not only that the weather is changing -- that is a fact since time immemorial and there is no debate on this.  Today's money-grubbing university researchers have to add the factor that it is MAN MADE.  Otherwise, why bother.  It is the later fact for which there is no evidence and it is the one that brings in the money to universities.

As has been true for the larger part of the Twentieth Century, scientists in their own utilitarian interests continue to make up stories to gain themselves money and prestige.  At one time this was only argued for the social sciences, or even worse the private sector, but now we know that the real money is in fake science, engineering, and technology.

PUC's Chancellor Keon is Forced to Recognize Free Speech

My readers were earlier informed, on this blog, that Purdue University was investigating this blog for its infingement on the freedom of speech of University faculty.   The claim was that this blog was the main culprit in denying the rights of the faculty:

Blog: Chancellor Colludes with Faculty to "get" Eisenstein

The charges were that I violated Purdue University's rules by pulishing what they provided to me under my FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request.  I should point out that by law in the State of Indiana the University has to provide them to me, or anyone else, the information.  They in turn have every legal right to make the information public. 

As absurd as it may seem, Purdue University convened a full investigation of me, again.  This has done more than anything to stiffle and chill free speech on Purdue's campus.  It is now non- existent, except for myself.  The big help came from FIRE (The Foundation for Individual Freedom in Education.)  You can see their many documents about my case for free speech at the following:

 Findings by Purdue University Calumet Chancellor Thomas L. Keon, June 8, 2012 - The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education - FIRE.

Remember, the sole goal of Purdue University's Chancellor Keon is to chill free-speech when it is not in conformity with his views of what is proper.  I know that is an oxymoronic statement; but, that is how free speech actions, during his academic career, have continued to reflect.

Green ‘drivel’ exposed | Global Warming (etc.) All a Fraud

Finally, the ultimate truth comes out.  I have been arguing and presenting that this is the case for many, many years.  All or most of my compatriots in academia have been making fun of me, ridiculing me, and demonizing me.  Global warming and climate change (dramatic) are all fraudulant ways for academics to pocket more and more money.  Now I hope they read the following:

Green ‘drivel’ exposed | Columnists | Opinion | Toronto Sun.

The main culprits in this fraud have been universities and academics.  They have made billions and billions of dollars by claiming the sky is falling and the world is ending with little or no evidence.  Academics need to be forced to retire or fired for fraudulent research work.

If you really want to see how true or false drastic climate change is, just cut off government funding for two years.  That is the length of focus of academics and they will find a new culprit to raise money to make them wealthy. 

We started with the "population explosion" and that added billions to universities to grow from the late 1950s through the 1970s.  Although that was shown to be completely false, the new end of the world came along as global freezing.  This added more money to academics through the late 1980s.  Then that ran out.  Then a miracle.  Science discovered (dramatic or catastrophic) global warming and that has been a new fraud that has been part of academic "Truth" for almost 30 years in-spite of all proof to the contrary.

Governor Daniels Presumed to be Next Purdue President

The following story came out of Indianapolis today:

New Purdue President Current Governor

The Indianapolis Star is only speculating at this point; but, it makes sense   The rumored choice is quite likely.  Governor Daniels must end his career as Governor of Indiana this term.  He is not ruining for president or vice-president.  There has been no announcements of any choice yet and normally if it was not someone political it would have been done.  The Board of Trustees of Purdue University is to vote this Friday on its slection.

Mitch Daniels as Purdue's President would be a great choice.  He has accomplishments and capabilities that the last President, Cordova, did not.  Actually, outside of being the first women, no one is clear why she was chosen; or what was the expectation upon her selection.

Finally, Purdue will have a President that will take seriously the Constitutional requirements of ruining a major American university.  He also understands the State well and its requirements for higher education, which sadly neither the Board of Trustees nor the Commission of Higher Education has determined as of yet.

Professor Sues Purdue for Violation of his Free Speech Rights on Islam | FrontPage Magazine

Frontpage magazine and Jamie Glasov did a wonderful job of interviewing me and getting out the issues that "got me here."  You can read about this in the following link:

Professor Sues Purdue for Violation of his Free Speech Rights on Islam | FrontPage Magazine.

I have to say that the only issue that needs to be further understood is that I, and honestly some others, have been fighting this battle for over 19 years on campus.  If you are not a Muslim, but religious, if you are pro-Israel, if you are right of center politically, you will constantly be harrassed, intimidated, and demonized on almost all of our universities. 

What is sad is that most of this is being done with our own tax dollars.

This is what the people of America need to understand very, very quickly.  The Muslims and their liberal allies are attacking religion, not Islam of course, and undermining the First Amendment, using your money.  All state institutions need to immediately audit their state universities for their usage of funds and their rules and regulations that permit Muslims to undermine the First Amendment and replace it with their version of Sharia Law. 

How is this done?  Very simply -- in Islam being "offended" is a legal term.  You are not allowed to "offend" Islam or Mohammad.  It is punishable in a variety of ways up to and including execution.  In the United States, offending someone is a badge of honor especially at a university.  To paraphrase a man who knows much about higher education and the First Amendment, Adam Kissel of FIRE, if you, a student, are not being offended once a week, someone is cheating you out of an education.

That is the fight I have to finish.

Chancellor Keon and the Board of Trustees Have Approved the End of Free Speech

At Purdue University, it is Chancellor Keon with the approval of President Cordova and the Board of Trustees who are attacking and demeaning the Constitutional First Amendment.  If you are disgusted by these activities, and those described in my last blog entry, then contact State Representative Sheila Klinker at 1-800-382-9842.   She is the State Reperesentative who "carries the water" for Purdue University. 

She not only represents the University and their interests, she is also employed by the University.  She is the important person that makes all of this happen.  She can also challenge the abuse of the Administration of Purdue University of the First Amendment.

Here is her letter to me: Dr. eisenstein, FIRE and 1st amend from Rep. Klinker

That was her only communication -- she was ready to investigate.  The result of her inquiry seems to have been an increased attack on my free speech.

Eisenstein Blog Under University Investigation

This is to inform my readers that Purdue University has decided to institute a formal investigation of this blog.   Under the confidentiality requirements which this state university operates, I cannot reveal any of the details.  But I do have an obligation to inform my readers when what they are reading is being investigated by the State of Indiana, or any other governmental body.

For those of you in Indiana, and pay taxes, now you know where your money, at least in part, is being utilized.   I have said from the begining that the attempt here, the goal here, is to close any dissent on my part.  This dissent has been political, religious, and fiscal.   I have presented conservative arguments, argued for the religious perspective, and have frequently battled with the University power structure about their misuse of State funds.

I am hoping for the best outcome.  If you Purdue's violating the First Amendment offends you, call Rep. Sheila Klinker at 1-800-382-9842

Doing My Part to End Student Abuse

Like my faculty colleagues – particularly Professors Colin Fewer and Alan Spector – I too am concerned about abuse of students by faculty.  It is simply unconsciousable that any faculty would ever have a political perspective that differs from their students or from the majority of other faculty members.  It is so wrong to offend anyone in America.

So, to all you students who feel as if you have been offended (particularly you Evangelical Christians – we all know how your world views are de-valued on a university campus) – please feel free to send me your anonymous audio tapes (edited, unedited – who cares) whenever you think your professors have said anything you deem crazy or inappropriate.  I will gladly post them at my website.  Did not get the crazy and/or inappropriate comments on tape?  No problem.  Just send me an email telling me what was said by whom, when, and where (what class, etc.) and I will post that information.

Remember, this in particular involves professors teaching inappropriate topics.  These are such things as politics in an english class, or the environment in a spanish class, or global warming in a sociology class, etc.

Do your professors not give you enough work? Do you think they grade too easily, too harshly?  What rumors have you heard about your professors? I will share your anonymous comments with the world! Just send them in.  I will publicly post the Professor, the class and all pertinent information – while making sure you, the student, remain anonymous.

Professors Fewer and Spector have made it very clear that it is all of our jobs to help students in this manner, and I intend to do my part.  And – do not worry – this is all anonymous.

Purdue Social Justice Club has Gone Crazy Against Conservative Jew

The Purdue University Chronicle_03.19.12, a student newspaper, is almost exclusively devoted to me, lucky me.  In it, the Purdue Calumet Social Justice Club, has gotten beside itself because I named the wrong person as its advisor on this blog.  Correction: it is not currently Prof. Alan  Spector, instead it is his (to the best of my knowledge) protege, another Marxist, Akili Shakur.  This does not change the nature of the club nor who its real "in the background" adviser is.   By the way, when was the club not under the organziation of either Spector, DeFelice, or both?  These comments in the paper were written by the Treasurer of the SJC and is not a news story; but, a propaganda piece, oh excuse me, an opinion piece -- although it is not presented as such.  Could this be because many of those on the Chronicle staff are also SJC members?

I have talked to Marxists in West Lafayette when these two Professors, Spector and DeFelice, went down there in the 1980's to sell them on the  Progressive Labor Party, and its house organ The Challenge. That publication is about as over the top as one can get (if you have any doubt, just look at a copy of a recent Challenge.)   Keep in mind that DeFelice and Spector had their students actually subscribe to this rag and made the library subscribe to this piece of garbage.  Why is anyone suprised that the Chancellor picks on me?  I wonder if it is because I am Jewish as well as conservative ("oh say it isn't so, he must be silenced!").  No one ever bothered DeFelice or Spector in over forty years of berating and baiting students every single day.

As the Treasurer of the SJC presents, it is true that the Social Justice Club (SJC) and the Criminal Justice Club (CJC) have been at war and have had "bad blood" between them for probably ten years.  Though the SJC Treasurer has it completely wrong as to the reason why.  The reason is, Prof. Spector, through the Black Student Union, identified Prof. Nicky Jackson as a racist.  This was when she was a part of Criminal Justice/Sociology.  They called her a racist in a public gathering in the Student Union.   This reference was the central focus of the gathering.  In addition, Akili Shakur and friends filed a harasment complaint against Prof. Jackson for racism and anti-Black behavior in Jackson's classes.  This was fought for over three years by Prof. Jackson.  The only, and I mean only person on PUC's campus, who stood by Prof. Jackson was me.  It seemed at the time that I was the only one, except for Prof. Jackson who believed in free-speech.  Prof. Tobin also chimed in and called Prof. Jackson a racist in her class around the years 2004/5.  (My, how things change.) By the way, the only way Prof. Jackson won was to get a lawyer and go to court to sue the University's Board of Trustees for failure to protect her civil rights.  The University knew it did not have a leg to stand on and settled.  The final monetary settelment was not disclosed; but Spector and friends including the Administration had to back off.   That is the reason, part of the agreement, that Prof. Jackson is in the History and Polical Science Department, not in Sociology (even though her Ph.D. is in sociology).

By the way, the University administration, under Chancellors Yaeckel and Cohen, told Jackson there is nothing they could and would do because it was free speech.  The students who called her a racist and described her as delivering racist rantings were allowed to do that on campus because the University considered it free speech.  As a matter of fact, Prof. Jackson had to go back to court because even after her initial legal agreement with the University, the Administration and faculty continued to treat her as a racist.  Here is the official filing:  Jackson_complaint.   If anyone is interested in other people who filed on a free speech basis while calling the kettle black, here is Prof. DeFelice's filing:  Gene_defelice_complaint.

What is sad for me today, is to see how someone, Prof. Jackson, who called me practically every day for over two years, crying for reassurance that the University will do the right thing and that truth and civility will prevail, in spite of what it looked like then, has so willingly decided to go after me in quite the same way that others went after her.  I was the sole support person through all her hearings, her interviews, and her legal ideas and strategy.  What is hurtful, is that she never even gave me the benefit of a doubt to even contact me first to see what was going on.

Now we have a revisionist history being written by the Treasurer of the SJC, when it comes to the CJC and Prof. Nicky Jackson. The blog they mention, which I did put up, focused on the collusion of the Chancellor and the faculty as was shown by emails I obtained through a FOIA request (by the way, I am still awaiting more emails from other FOIA requests).  Not a single word showed up about this either in the Chronicle itself or in the SJC commentary.  Is this what the anonymous professor was afraid of commenting about?   He knows too much?   (Given the public shellacking I have been taking, it is hard to believe that anyone on this campus is fearful of me retaliating against them).  It truly was a plan to "get me."  I wonder why?   To this day, not a single independent piece of evidence has been presented to show that I have ever done anything.  Everything has either been part of free-speech and academic freedom debate on a university campus or it is just items that students and faculty keep repeating that it is so.  Continuous repetition does not make it true; only the perception of it becomes blurred.  The one time that Spector asked me; I emphatically told him no, it was not said. 

All this is ignored by everyone, the CJC, the SJC, Prof, Jackson, etc.  What seems to be important is to get me.  I wonder why?  Have any of you?

Purdue Administration Colludes with Faculty to File Harrasment Charges

These pages have discussed how Purdue University investigated my free speech for over three months. The overall investigation and consequences to me are not yet over.  But that is a story that must wait for another day.

While the University found in my favor in 9 harassment/discrimination complaints, Purdue has done absolutely nothing to protect the First Amendment of the U.S Constitution.  Essentially, if some person, known to me or not, in my class or not, files an harassment complaint of against me tomorrow for exercising my freedom of speech -- such as on this blog, I will again have my free speech investigated.

Investigating free speech is in and of itself against Federal law.  In America, and only in America, can you not investigate someone because you disagree with what they said.  No matter how strongly you disagree.  This is the basis of the American democratic system.  Without it, we are nothing.  This is what Purdue University, its administation and the majority of its "liberal" leaning faculty, do not seem to care about. 

I am a conservative Jew. This makes me a target.  In the past, I vociferously criticized local Democrats.  This meant I was a target (the previous Chancellor Cohen went out of his way to use illegally his administrative position to support local Democrats against my criticism-- particularly Mayor McDermott Jr.).  See previous blogs NWI Comical Politics.

In the wake of my criticism of local Democrats -- and former Chancellor Cohen's efforts to defend those Democrats -- I became the target of baseless complaints; some claim that I hit on women, some claim I hit on men, some claim I harass atheists, some claim that I harass some or all religions; some claim I harass Hispanics, others claim I harass blacks -- the litany goes on and on.  

Now I have turned my attention to the problem of radical Islam and highlighting the failure of moderate Muslims to criticize their co-religionists in hopes of stopping Islamic Jihad.  And I was confining my comments to Facebook.  Yet -- somehow -- even with a new Chancellor, Keon, who has been at PUC about 6 months, he decided to pick-up where Cohen left off.

What did the current Chancellor, Keon, do to continue Cohen's illegal targeting of me?  Chancellor Keon decided that he would advise fellow faculty members to file hostile work environment complaints against me.  

How do I know this?  The answer lies in a series of emails that I was able to obtain through Indiana's freedom of information act.  (I am still waiting for others.  It has been over two months and the University is very slow in providing them to me.)

I am attaching the received emails that I have received for all to see:  Download FOIA_emails_Tobin.

When reading and looking at these emails, the most important information to understand and digest is the degree of collusion between the faculty and Chancellor Keon, with the Department Head's help, to ensure that harassment complaints were filed against me, and what those complaints needed to include in order to be successful against me.  Now -- remember -- Chancellor Keon is the person who must decide if wrongdoing occurred from  a University investigation; thus, it is inappropriate for him to participate prior to the filing of complaints.   It also shows a great effort to get as many faculty and students as possible to file complaints against me.  I DID NOT KNOW ANY OF THIS WAS GOING ON AT ALL.  I ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS COLLUSION AFTER I RECEIVED THIS DOCUMENTATION FROM MY FOIA REQUEST.  As is obvious from the emails, I was not asked to any of the meetings that were to take place between my department and Chancellor Keon.

Let's just focus on the collusion. 

The "Eisenstein problem" and the general hysteria about my free speech was solely genrated by the Department Head and some of the faculty.  It certainly seems that they met with the Chancellor together, without me.  In addition, it is certain that at least Professors Jackson and Tobin each had a private audience with him.  (By the way, I also passed Professor Joyce leaving his office during this time and when I called the Chancellor out on this his reponse was he meets with faculty about all kinds of issues and it is none of my business.)  

It is clear Chancellor Keon's business was me and he directed the faculty how to word and structure the harassment filings against me and when "he" needed them turned in.  He also makes it clear to them that he will be making the decision (wink, wink).  I have to admit that it is possible that the various members of the faculty are inventing stories in their emails to each other that they never knew would go public.  It is possible.  What is more likely is that what they say is true and it was Chancellor Keon who advised them how to attack my First Amenment rights.

Who are the players in the emails:

Nicky Jackson -- Associate Professor of Criminal Justice

Kathy Tobin -- Associate Professor of History

Saul Lerner -- Professor of History

Miriam Joyce -- Professor of History

Richard Rupp -- Head of the Department and Associate Professor of Political Science

Chad Steacy -- I have no idea who he is.

Purdue Social Justice Club -- An anti-American, Marxist group that considers American soldiers "angels of death."  Adviser is and has been Prof. Alan Spector.

Alan Spector -- Professor of Sociology, outed left wing Marxist (even Marxists reject his violent and anti-American views) and member of the anti-American People's Worker Party.  Paid over $85,000.

Colin Fewer -- Associate Professor of English

The Chancellor told them to file "work place" harassment complaints (to get around free speech). In trying to meet the Chancellors guidelines to show a pattern of behavior, one faculty member alleged a dispute over a name plate in 1991!

This is outrageous. More outrageous is that the University investigated it!

Stay tuned -- there are more communications coming from other FOIA requests.  And, there are substantive issues that I will also address, such as the problem with the alleged "tapes" of my alleged "lectures".
