A former U.S. Air Force intelligence specialist accused of espionage for Iran, Monica Witt, was allegedly radicalized in part during a stint at a George Washington University, which has taken $100 million from Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries.
Certain American universities have received funding from .... Middle Eastern countries. In some cases, the programs have been staffed by academics who are critical of U.S. policy and who publicly espouse fringe positions.
Witt was charged Feb. 13 by the Department of Justice with sharing government secrets with Iranian officials. She was allegedly helping create a cyber-hacking operation on fellow former agents. She is at large and believed to be in Iran.
Witt’s radicalization “was rooted in Ms. Witt’s military service and … accelerated while she was in graduate school” at Georgetown University, where she earned a master’s degree in its Middle East Studies program,

Muslim-majority nations — plus a handful of private groups associated with them — have given $100 million to George Washington University in the form of gifts and contracts since 2011, according to Department of Education disclosures. That includes $80 million from Saudi Arabia, $14 million from Kuwait, $4.5 million from the United Arab Emirates and $730,000 from Turkey.

This situation “has opened up a back-door route to Saudi influence over America’s K-12 curriculum,” a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Stanley Kurtz, wrote in National Review in 2007. “Believe it or not, the Saudis have figured out how to make an end-run around America’s K-12 curriculum safeguards, thereby gaining control over much of what children in the United States learn about the Middle East.”
The Muslim nations awarded $603 million to the 12 universities from 2011 to 2016 — 80 times more than the allocated Title VI funding,

How did payments to GWU affect her radicalization at Georgetown?
“We are many and have a big military, while you in Saudi Arabia have much oil but are militarily weak; let’s do some horse-trading...”
THAT is the fragile deal that substitutes for the gold standard. THAT is the deal by which Saudi accepts only US dollars for oil sales, thereby forcing others, too, to stay with the US dollar.
This means we have to see things their way. This means we substitute as their military. And this means their tentacles and those of many Sand Countries reach into all aspects of our culture, including the University system.
Is she scum? Yes.
But if we had our financial house in order Mizz Witt would not otherwise have been exposed to nearly the same level of anti-US/pro Middle East propoganda that she did.
Add in the Chinese and Russians and American communists
I thought she was already in Iran?
She just wanted to wear the hijab and pretend people hated her for it.
I hope the military is reconsidering its Graduate Studies programs in Middle Eastern Studies.
You know we really should have a US government effort to identify sources of radicalization in not just Mosques but also US universities. Examine books required reading, follow up on rumors about professors who openly urge jihad, violence or otherwise subversive or dangerous.
There is some time line blurring in the story, re was she at Georgetown or at GW, or both?
They are two separate liberal universities.
They were very liberal and anti American in the 1960’s.
US universities, teaching anti-USA for decades. Operated and funded by enemies of USConstitution, foreign and domestic. China and _pieceful_religionists_ heavily involved.
How could foreign ideolog countries giving scores of million of dollars to US universities _NOT_ have massive influence on the mission and operation of them?

illustrious alums of Georgetown in the late 60’s include willima Jefferson “bubba” Clinton.
a fertile time for his indoctrination.
A perfect example, from another posting about a _professor_ at a university. His title:
“Associate Professor of Law at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law and Senior Affiliated Faculty at the University of California-Berkeley Islamophobia Research and Documentation Project”
Scores of hundred million dollars _given_ to US university to fundamentally alter them.
How much is the bounty on her? Dead or alive?

Apparently, she was radicalized at GW - masters program taught by a fellow traveler .
>> Cory Ellis knew Ms. Witt when they were enrolled in the same master’s degree program at George Washington University.. he said, she did not hide her strong feelings against American foreign policy. “Everyone just kind of sat and watched it.”

Apparently, she is in Iran now.
Elana Kagan kicked US military recruiters off the campus of Harvard Law, as she welcomed Muslim recruiters to campus.
Ms. Kagan was unwilling to use Harvard Law to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States, but was perfectly willing to use it to advance Sharia.
George Washington would be so proud that university bears his name.
Thanks posting. At times pardon the pun, the NY Slimes does some excellent investigation into stuff like this.
This link is excellent reading, thanks for posting it.

Also, how did Saudi influence make her a spy for Iran, Saudi Arabia’s biggest regional enemy?
