Who in American government, politics and the opinion makers attended Columbia and may have fallen under the spell of this dragon woman - Pivins??

Certainly Obama(graduate student), Stephanopolis(ABC), but who else??

“Hi. I’m Francis Fox Piven. I think oppression is the right thing for government to do. But I really don’t understand my own ideology. If I did, I would be able to articulate it openly. If I had a ounce of wisdom, I would be able to choose an ideology that doesn’t need to be hidden away and covered up like pus-filled acne buried under face makeup.”

They don't come any worse than this pair. Traitors to everything: their country, their profession, science, the search for truth (which is the reason for the Academy in the first place), Western civilization, Civilization in general, the human race in general.

They're the equivalent of... I can't think of anything horrible enough to compare them to. In time, they will be utterly discredited, like the Nazi judge Roland Freisler, who conducted show trials of doomed enemies of the state, berating them, ordering male defendants to be brought to court minus their belts so that they had to stand, holding up their trousers, while he screamed invective at them from the bench. When his body was brought to the morgue, his fellow Nazis breathed a sigh of relief.

That's the nearest I can come, without risking being banned.
