We are entering into very dark and dangerous times, when objective truth and morality or a sense of honor do not matter in elite academia, (and I might add, the mainstream media or government). Thomas Jefferson’s University is the home of the original Honor Code. Students are expelled for lying or cheating, or tolerating those who do. That is, knowing about a lie and failing to report it is an Honor Code violation. Ms. Sullivan, that P.C; commissar maven, late of the UVA putsch/counterputsch, knows that a vile and despicable slander and lie has been told against the PKP fraternity. She virtually watched from her high window when the mob was sent to throw rocks and paint “RAPISTS!!!” on the side of their house.

This is brownshirt stuff, folks. This is riling up a mob for Kristallnacht.

In this case, thank God, the originator of the lie appears to be a very disturbed young lady, who began with “cat-fishing” an imaginary 3rd year dreamboat, to influence a desired first year beau. The lie went up in spirals, embellished and increased with each retelling until it was purveyed to Rolling Stone by a UVA staff interlocutor. When the bomb was dropped, it quickly became apparent that the mass rape frat initiation reported in Rolling Stone was perhaps the worst group libel since the German Nazis set up false Polish attacks on their border on August 31, 1939, as a pretext for invasion. Or the libel that German Jews were poisoning the Berlin water supply.

In this racially-charged post-Ferguson environment, to send the mob against a house representing white male privilege, with bricks and spray paint, was the act of a Himmler or a Goebbels. This time, the lie was outed, and the damage contained—even if the libelous smear will always exist. The next time, the fury of the mob may not be contained, if the false flag operation or intentional smear campaign against a hated scapegoat group is not revealed in time. The blood will be on the hands of those evil people who stirred the mob into a frenzy. Sharpton at Freddy’s Mart and the subsequent fatal arson attack comes to mind.

Ms. Sullivan, who might as well have passed out cans of gasoline and nooses, must not only apologize, she must be expelled from the Grounds and from Albemarle County, befitting any gross violator of the Honor Code.

If she keeps her seat, well, take it for the signal that it is. It’s brownshirt time ahead.
