Columbia professor has mic cut after warning university infiltrated by ‘groups who are supporting terrorists’ at faculty meeting

A Columbia professor was quickly shut down after warning her colleagues that the Morningside Heights campus had been infiltrated by outsiders with “known ties to terrorist organizations.”

Professor Carol Ewing Garber immediately had her mic muted after speaking out about campus security at the May 3 Zoom meeting of the university’s faculty senate — which was held hours after the school’s Hamilton Hall was overrun by a mob of Hamas-supporting students.

“There really is a need for good security on campus and it was very clear . . . that the university was unable to do that given the number of people from outside who were able to pass through our tight security to get onto campus,” Garber said. “We do know that there are groups who are supporting terrorists.”

Garber’s comment prompted pandemonium among the faculty Senate, video of the meeting shows.

The senate is a “policy-making body which may consider all matters of University-wide concern” but has little formal power in practice.

Jeanine D’Armiento, an associate dean for gender equity, shut off Garber’s mic while asserting there was “no evidence” for her claim.

“There is danger in that statement,” said D’Armiento. “I am trying to take our community a level down and that word is not going to do it. Maybe I broke the rules . . . but I cannot allow that kind of thing in a time like this.”

As other senators objected to the forced mute, D’Armiento shouted them down. “This is my meeting, my meeting, my meeting.”

Probably identical to that kill switch in your new car.

....”said D’Armiento. “I am trying to take our community a level down and that word is not going to do it. Maybe I broke the rules . . . but I cannot allow that kind of thing in a time like this.”

Oh, yeah..”down” is where you are headed.

The truth is toxic to the woke Marxists in charge at Columbia. Unacceptable and intolerable. They don’t realize that when the Republic is finally toppled, they’ll be among the first to be sent to the gulags and/or executed.

Standard Zoom meeting feature; the host has the ability to mute anybody at any time. It usually happens when an attendee does not mute and has some background noise. Or when whoever has the floor is making a presentation that should not disturbed. Usually you can chat to everyone with a comment. Harmless in the usual context.

When in the hands of a free-speech limiter, it can be used to mute anybody, for any reason. Sort of like a gun-thingy in the wrong hands. In both cases, it's the person, not the device that is to blame when the device is used incorrectly.

Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.

Either they don’t realize or they don’t care. Probably both.

Rudy was taken off his radio show in NY for saying the election was stollen. Ya can’t have a solid opinion if it differs from the radical left.. They want to dictate what is real and what is not. Evidence is clear Biden did not win.. The power elite dictators don’t want Trump in power.. They know he is tough and will not put up with their power drive.. What a mess they have created.. Take God out and lie about everything.. Turn the country into a lawless state.. Invite the mentally sick to invade open borders.. Flood the country with distrust.. Threaten everyone.. Attack and destroy our country and the people..

congrats and thanks to the professor for trying to point out the obvious, that King ColumbiaU has no clothes

Wish that faculty at the several other IslamoNazi/communist-infiltrated colleges will do likewise

Love that good old American freedom of speech. Back when Norman Rockwell painted the Saturday Evening Post Covers.

Gotta go. Ernie Kovacs and Milton Berle are coming on soon.

Critical Race Theory has a tremendous hold on those indoctrinated with it. For me, it is like nuclear fuel reaching critical mass and the resulting chain reaction, taking down a civilization. CRT is working like it was designed to do.

I can imagine the chaos these minion will create when President Trump is reelected in November. We are in danger—great danger!!

Garber is right, of course, which is why the nutcase jumped on the mute button.

Anti-Israel activists behind Columbia University protests trained in Cuba for years

Some of the anti-Israel protests taking place at U.S. college campuses, including the recent demonstrations at Columbia University, have been supported by organizations that traveled to communist Cuba to receive resistance training, an ADN investigation has uncovered.

ADN’s investigation coincides with a recent Sunday report published by the New York Post that revealed a radical NYC based organization known as The People’s Forum familiarized anti-Israel activists with Black Lives Matter protest techniques just hours before they stormed Hamilton Hall at Columbia University, and that the group was incited by Manolo De Los Santos–a radical activist organizer with deep ties to communist Cuba....

I love this. Anything to utterly destroy the world of “university education.”

Jeanine D’Armiento, an associate dean for gender equity, shut off Garber’s mic while asserting there was “no evidence” for her claim.

So the DEI communist shut her down. What a shocker.

[Chgogal]

Fascists.

Jeanine D’Armiento, associate dean for gender equity, is chickens**t!
