The North American Education Swindle: How Tax-Free Private Universities Use Public Money to Divide a Nation

 

The Myth of “Neutral Education”

In the United States and Canada, nonprofit universities are granted immense privileges. They're shielded from federal taxes, their endowments grow tax-free, they receive tens of billions in public funds annually, and they enjoy nonprofit legal protections — all in the name of “public good” and “education.”

But here's the truth: many of these institutions no longer serve the public and no longer educate in any classical sense. They indoctrinate, manipulate, and rewire minds not for liberty but for collectivism, entitlement, and ideological submission.

It is time to reassess their nonprofit status, their tax-exempt empires, and their cultural influence, because the bill for their distortion of society is being paid by the very taxpayers they deride.

πŸŽ“ Tax-Free Indoctrination: How Nonprofit Universities Became the Engine Room of American and Canadian Divisions.

Although private universities have been established in several Canadian provinces, the majority of universities in the country remain publicly funded.

πŸ’° The Nonprofit Scam: Tax Breaks, Billion-Dollar Endowments, and Zero Accountability

Let’s follow the money.

  • Harvard holds an endowment of $50.7 billion.
  • Yale sits on $42 billion.
  • Stanford boasts $38 billion.

These amounts are not merely stored wealth — they’re invested capital, generating billions more in tax-free returns each year. And while they operate under a “nonprofit” umbrella, these universities:

  • Charge obscene tuition fees (often $60K–$80K/year),
  • Lobby for taxpayer-funded student aid to sustain their pricing power,
  • And churn out ideologically radical graduates trained to attack the very system that feeds them.

This isn't education — it's a self-reinforcing propaganda economy with nonprofit perks and no market consequences.

πŸ“š Indoctrination Over Education

Studies from Heterodox Academy, FIRE, and the National Association of Scholars all confirm the same trend:

At elite U.S. universities, more than 90% of faculty in humanities and social sciences identify as liberal or far left. Fewer than 5% identify as conservative or libertarian.

Departments once devoted to free inquiry — political science, sociology, history, education — now enforce intellectual conformity, treating capitalism, individualism, and patriotism as diseases to be cured.

Meanwhile, students who dissent from progressive orthodoxy often face:

  • Grade penalties
  • Social ostracism
  • Denied opportunities
  • Cancellation of speakers they invite

This is not education. This is ideological reprogramming subsidized by your tax dollars.

πŸ” The Ivory Tower's Tax-Free Ideology Complex

Despite claiming to be bastions of “truth” and “diversity,” many of America’s and Canada's top nonprofit universities are actively shaping society through radical collectivist narratives — all while receiving billions in federal grants, student loans, and state/provincial funds.

They produce policy architects, media influencers, and corporate HR bureaucrats who carry this ideology into every corner of society.

🧱 The Ideological Powerhouses – Billionaire Nonprofits of the Woke Elite

  1. Harvard University – $50.7B
    • 77% of faculty liberal; <2% conservative.
    • Massive DEI bureaucracy.
    • Over $1B in federal funds yearly.
  2. Yale University – $42B
    • “Objectivity” is called a tool of whiteness by faculty.
    • Open DEI enforcement in curricula.
  3. Stanford University – $38B
    • Racial affinity groups, reparations studies, and climate justice activism.
  4. Columbia University – $14B
    • Anti-Israel epicentre; major player in critical race dissemination.
  5. Brown University – $6.5B
    • Courses in “abolishing capitalism” and eco-socialism.
    • 94% left-leaning faculty.
  6. UC Berkeley
    • Speaker shutdowns, radicalized departments, and activist faculty unions.

πŸ’Ό The Progressive Performers – Privilege Wrapped in Activism

  1. USC – $8.1B
    • Rich student body, radicalized arts & social science programming.
  2. UPenn
    • Internal battle: Wharton (pro-market) vs. CAS (radicalized).
  3. Emory
    • Supports police abolition discourse, identity-based grading models.
  4. Northwestern
  • Mandatory ideological training for most faculty and students.

πŸ”¬ STEM Safe? Think Again – Ideology Creeps In

  1. CalTech

  • Even physics courses face grading pressure through "equity lenses."

  1. Rice University

  • Strong in science, but social studies promote intersectional theory.

  1. WashU (St. Louis)

  • High DEI payroll, “justice-focused” faculty hiring policies.

  1. University of Michigan

  • $14M/year in DEI bureaucracy; censorship of conservative student press.

  1. Cornell University – $10B

  • Teaches “Decolonizing the Mind” and “Prison Abolition” as core studies.

  • Demands mandatory anti-racism statements for hiring and promotion.

πŸ›‘ Why This Matters: Influence Without Oversight

These universities:

  • Craft the worldview of tomorrow’s judges, senators, journalists, and tech execs.
  • Reject merit in favour of identity metrics.
  • Normalize speech control, collectivism, and guilt-based policy.
  • Yet enjoy full tax exemption and federal privileges without checks.

It’s long past time to ask:

Should institutions that enforce ideological dogma, violate intellectual neutrality, and abuse public trust retain nonprofit protections?

🧭 What Needs to Change?

  1. Annual Ideological Disclosure: Require nonprofit schools to publish faculty political diversity stats and ideological hiring practices.
  2. Reform or Revoke Tax-Exempt Status: If an institution functions as a political advocacy platform, it should be taxed like one.
  3. Federal Grant Audits: No more blank checks. If public funds are misused for activism, cut the spigot.
  4. Restore Intellectual Balance: Tie accreditation to true viewpoint diversity and academic freedom protections.

Public Awareness Campaigns: Voters must see these schools for what they are — ideologically weaponized aristocracies

πŸ”š Final Word: The Empire Hides Behind “Nonprofit”

2.      The American university system once stood as a pillar of free inquiry and debate. Today, too many of its elite members act more like ideological corporations — tax-free, state-funded, and utterly devoted to reshaping society in their image.

3.     They do not deserve our silence.
They do not deserve our money.
And increasingly, they do not deserve our protection under tax-free statutes. Here we have turned the lights on by letting the public see it for what it is — and maybe, just maybe, spark the reform we need.

Reimagine Kingston Penitentiary — A Museum for the Past or a Sanctuary for the Present?


Every May, thousands of visitors step inside the stone walls of Kingston Penitentiary to experience a guided tour of Canada’s most iconic prison. They walk through cell blocks, hear stories from former staff, and marvel at the grim architecture that defined incarceration for over 180 years.

But just outside those walls, another story unfolds — not from the past, but in the present. Kingston’s downtown streets are increasingly occupied by Canadians who are visibly struggling: individuals battling mental illness, addiction, and homelessness. They are not tourists. They are citizens left behind by systems stretched thin, and the city is visibly bearing the burden.

The question we must now ask is simple: Why are we preserving empty cells as historical attractions while living, breathing Canadians suffer without shelter, treatment, or dignity just steps away?

It’s time for Kingston Penitentiary to serve a higher purpose.

Addressing the Reality on Our Streets

Kingston, like many Canadian cities, is facing an urgent mental health emergency. Emergency rooms are overwhelmed. Shelters are full. Policing costs rise while real recovery rates remain dismally low. People are falling through the cracks and onto our streets — and that reality is hurting everyone.

Tourism cannot flourish where there is visible human suffering. Downtown business owners quietly worry. Visitors see things they didn’t expect. Locals feel helpless. And still, year after year, millions of dollars go into preserving a prison for entertainment while the crisis grows on our sidewalks.

A New Vision for an Old Fortress

Let us be clear: preserving our history is important. But so is responding to the crises of our time. Repurposing Kingston Penitentiary into a secure, state-of-the-art facility for those with chronic mental illness and substance abuse issues is not just a social responsibility — it’s a strategic imperative.

The infrastructure already exists. The prison’s design includes individual units, large-scale facilities, and security features that could be adapted for compassionate therapeutic care. Instead of cells that echo with history, imagine recovery suites, wellness clinics, and safe housing spaces for people in crisis.

We are not proposing a return to confinement, but a pivot to care. Done right, this would not be an institution — it would be a sanctuary.

The Case for Change

Repurposing Kingston Penitentiary into a therapeutic care facility would offer three key public benefits:

  1. Human Dignity: Mental illness and addiction are health issues, not criminal ones. We owe people the opportunity to recover in safety and dignity, not on a sidewalk or in a holding cell.

  2. Public Safety and Civic Renewal: Addressing these challenges head-on would help restore safety, cleanliness, and pride in our urban core. A healthier city is a more vibrant, prosperous one.

  3. Cost Efficiency: Housing someone in a hospital bed, jail cell, or shelter costs far more than providing them long-term therapeutic care. This is not just a moral decision — it’s a fiscally responsible one.

A National Opportunity

With the right leadership, Kingston could become a model city for a new approach: one that blends heritage preservation with human restoration. Some areas of the Penitentiary could remain open for limited educational tours, preserving our past. But the majority of the space should serve our present and future — helping people rebuild their lives with proper care, support, and stability.

Let’s stop walking tourists through empty cells while vulnerable people lie curled up on grates.

Let’s be a city that doesn’t just remember its correctional past, but corrects its course, and leads by example.

It’s time for Kingston Penitentiary to serve the living.

Masked Protesters: Wreckers of Democracy, Not Defenders of Rights



In 2012, I wrote a warning: Masked protesters during demonstrations must be outlawed, labelled as shirkers, idlers, attempted wreckers of democracy, and considered possible terrorists under the Criminal Code. Over a decade later, not only has little changed, but the threat has intensified.

Masked protesters now regularly hijack causes, weaponizing anonymity to destroy property, disrupt institutions, and intimidate civilians. These acts are not expressions of freedom; they are deliberate attempts to undermine democracy through fear and chaos.

In Canada and the United States alike, the rise of masked protesters in recent years has revealed a disturbing trend: coordinated efforts by socially harmful elements—often affiliated with student unions or radical activist groups—using intimidation, violence, and chaos to impose their political will. These are not peaceful protesters. They are masked hooligans, agitators, and wreckers of democracy. And they must be called what they are: attempted domestic terrorists.

Gangs of masked student union protesters storming classrooms or shutting down campuses commit unlawful and violent acts against students, faculty, and property. Their goal is not to persuade, but to coerce and control through threats, occupation, and destruction.

In Montreal and across Canada, such incidents have only increased. And as in the United States, this pattern of lawlessness continues virtually unabated, enabled by political indifference, judicial leniency, and law enforcement hesitation. These perpetrators exploit democratic freedoms while actively working to dismantle them.

Even more troubling, the mainstream media often refers to these actions as "mischievous pranks" or "harmless dissent." This framing is dangerously dishonest. Masked rioters are not "scamps" or likable rebels. They are ideologically driven extremists who aim to disrupt civil society. Their actions meet the basic threshold for domestic terrorism: using violence or the threat of violence against persons or property to advance political or social objectives.

The Pattern of Lawlessness in Canada and the U.S.

In Canada, we’ve seen:

  1. Masked gangs storming university classes in Montreal and Toronto during pro-Palestinian encampments (2024–2025), using threats, physical blockades, and property damage to coerce institutions.

  2. The “Freedom Convoy” (2022) in Ottawa, where masked agitators embedded in a larger movement harassed residents, defied police, and paralyzed the capital.

  3. Pipeline and railway blockades, often led by masked activists who vandalize infrastructure and threaten workers under the guise of environmental or Indigenous solidarity.

In the United States, similar chaos unfolds:

  1. Portland and Seattle riots (2020), where masked radicals torched police stations and federal buildings night after night, calling it "resistance."

  2. Columbia, NYU, and UCLA university occupations (2024–2025), where masked protesters barricaded buildings, threatened Jewish students, and shut down campuses, abandoning any pretense of civil discourse.

  3. The Capitol riot (January 6, 2021), where masked and unmasked individuals stormed a democratic institution, claiming patriotism while practicing sedition.

In both nations, the masked element is consistent: they arrive not to protest but to dominate, coerce, and destroy. These are not “scamps” or pranksters as today's media sometimes portrays them—they are professional agitators, social outlaws, and enemies of democratic society.

Call It What It Is: Domestic Terrorism

The Criminal Code of Canada and U.S. law define terrorism as the use of violence against persons or property to intimidate a population or compel a government or institution. When masked mobs threaten students, silence voices, or burn public infrastructure to further political agendas, they cross that threshold.

These are not protestors. These are domestic terrorists.

They cloak themselves in moral outrage, but their true aim is coercion, not justice. They abuse the liberties of democratic societies to pursue authoritarian goals. And too often, they are excused or enabled by politicians, judges, and media figures who lack the courage to draw the line.

No More Excuses, No More Leniency

It is no longer acceptable to minimize these acts as youthful rebellion or ideological passion. The rule of law must be upheld. Civil disobedience loses its legitimacy when it adopts violence, threats, and destruction as tools of change.

We must no longer tolerate:

  • Masked individuals storming classrooms,

  • Organized rioters destroying civic infrastructure,

  • Student unions giving cover to habitual disruptors,

  • Judges who downplay violent acts as minor infractions.

This behaviour is criminal, anti-social, and explicitly hostile to democracy.

This behaviour is not a democratic expression. It is mob rule, and it must be confronted with strength and clarity.

Such lawlessness cannot be excused as civil disobedience or youthful rebellion. Those who incite violence and destruction behind masks are not agents of change—they are habitual social offenders, shirkers, and enemies of open society. They undermine legitimate protest movements, distort public discourse, and embolden political extremism.

It is time that lawmakers, judges, media, and society as a whole reject this normalization of violence and treat masked, organized disruption for what it truly is: an assault on democracy. We must defend our institutions, protect our campuses, and enforce the law with the full strength of our democratic principles.

In a free society, protest is a right, but using violence and fear to silence others is not. It is time we make that line unmistakably clear.

Conclusion: Defend Democracy—Unmask the Truth

Democracy does not die from censorship alone—it dies when fear replaces dialogue, when mobs replace debate, and when violence masquerades as virtue.

Masked protestors who use coercion and destruction should be treated not as activists but as wreckers of democracy, habitual offenders, and domestic enemies of the social contract. Let us protect the sacred right to protest, but draw the clearest of lines: freedom ends where violence begins.

It is time we name this threat and deal with it accordingly. The law must be enforced. The masks must come off.

Canada Has Drifted — And Voters Are Asleep


 Mark Carney’s declaration that “Canada’s old relationship with the U.S. is over” wasn’t a warning — it was a victory lap. And most Canadians barely blinked.

That silence is the problem.

Canada hasn’t just begun to drift — it has already drifted. From free enterprise to managed economies. From principled alliances to transactional diplomacy. From individual liberty to expanding state control. And while the warning signs are flashing red, the electorate seems lulled into passive acceptance — as if national identity and freedom are footnotes to be rewritten at the whim of globalist ambition.

“We’re going to reimagine our place in the world… the old relationship with the United States is over.”
Mark Carney, 2024

That’s not leadership — it’s detachment from reality. The U.S. remains Canada’s largest trading partner by far, responsible for over $2.6 billion in daily cross-border commerce. Our economic integration and shared democratic values are not “old news” — they are still our most vital lifeline in a world darkened by authoritarian resurgence.

Meanwhile, Canada’s government pushes forward with ideological policies that prioritize control over freedom:

  1. Government spending now eats up nearly half the economy, up from 38% in 2015.

  2. Debt has soared past $1.2 trillion, with interest payments alone exceeding $46 billion annually — more than we spend on health transfers to provinces.

  3. Tax rates in some provinces exceed 53%, punishing productivity and discouraging growth.

  4. The media is subsidized, with over $600 million in bailouts, leaving journalistic independence compromised.

  5. Foreign aid and green deals are now funnelled into regimes like China and Iran — countries hostile to free speech, free markets, and democracy.

And yet, Canadians barely stir.

The media class shrugs. Academia cheers. The bureaucracy grows. And the average voter? Tired, disoriented, and too often disengaged.

This isn’t accidental. It’s the consequence of a slow boil — where comfort replaces courage, and ideology replaces accountability.

“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
Plato

Canada has drifted — and many voters are asleep at the wheel. We are trading our legacy of resilience and independence for slogans, subsidies, and soft socialism.

This drift won’t stop on its own. It must be resisted, reversed, and reawakened.

We need to speak — not out of nostalgia, but out of clarity. We must reassert that:

  • The free market is not the enemy.

  • Our alliances with democracies are not outdated.

  • Bureaucracy is not a substitute for leadership.

  • Citizens are not subjects.

The question is no longer, “Are we drifting?”
It’s, “When will we wake up?”

Truth Without Blinkers: Crimea, Russia, NATO, and the Betrayal of Trust

 

In a world increasingly dominated by manipulation and propaganda, the truth about Crimea, NATO expansion, and the collapse of post-World War II alliances must be told clearly and without political blinkers — out of respect for history, dignity for the future, and service to humanity.

History teaches us that betrayal, arrogance, and unchecked expansionism — whether Eastern or Western — ultimately lead not to peace, but to suffering. The true enemy of humanity is not one nation or another, but the cycle of deception, pride, and dishonour that corrupts all who wield unchecked power.

Today, as we reflect on the tangled story of Crimea, NATO, Russia, and Ukraine, we must reject simple narratives and embrace the full truth. This truth acknowledges both Western broken promises and Russian aggression. Neither side holds the moral high ground.

We must demand from our leaders something radically different:

  • Honour over technicalities.
  • Truth over propaganda.
  • Respect over domination.

The future of peace depends not on blind loyalty to flags or alliances, but on a global awakening to the shared responsibility of all governments to act with dignity, transparency, and restraint.

The world does not need more sides. It needs more truth. It needs more courage. It requires us — the ordinary people — to hold power accountable, no matter what flag it flies.

Only then can we break free from the cycle of betrayal and build a future worthy of the sacrifices of those who came before us.

The Historical Foundation

Crimea has deep roots in Russian history, culture, and national identity. Annexed by the Russian Empire in 1783 after victory over the Ottoman Empire, Crimea remained a strategic and emotional cornerstone of Russia for nearly 171 years. Even after the Bolshevik Revolution, Crimea was part of the Russian Soviet Republic until 1954, when it was transferred to the Ukrainian Soviet Republic.

The 1954 transfer, orchestrated by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, was made within the Soviet Union under the assumption that Ukraine would remain inseparable from Russia inside the communist bloc. The transfer followed Soviet constitutional procedures but was motivated more by political maneuvering and internal Soviet strategy than by genuine historical, cultural, or demographic logic. There were no conditions attached for future reconsideration or reversal because no one at the time imagined the Soviet Union would ever cease to exist.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Ukraine declared independence, taking Crimea with it. Russia, in turn, formally recognized Ukraine's borders — including Crimea — through the 1991 Belovezhskaya Accords and again in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, where Russia, alongside the United States and Britain, pledged to respect Ukraine's sovereignty in exchange for Ukraine surrendering its nuclear arsenal.

The Misleading of Russia

At the same time that the Soviet Union was peacefully disintegrating, verbal assurances were given by U.S. Secretary of State James Baker, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, and others to Soviet leaders that NATO would not expand "one inch eastward." These conversations, though informal and undocumented in treaties, created powerful expectations in Moscow that a future European security order would respect Russia’s historical fears of encirclement.

Yet no written commitment was ever made. The U.S. and NATO later argued that without a formal treaty, they were free to expand eastward — and they did. From the Russian perspective, this was a betrayal of the spirit of the understanding that had helped end the Cold War peacefully.

The West, led by the United States and its European allies, began integrating Eastern European countries into NATO — Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and eventually even the Baltic states that were once Soviet republics. Russia, weakened economically and politically in the 1990s, was powerless to resist, but the sense of betrayal and humiliation grew year after year.

From a factual standpoint, NATO expansion was legal. From a moral standpoint, it was a clear breach of the trust that had been built during the Cold War's end. It was, as explored in Two Sides of the Same Coin, an example of how great powers prioritize expansion and influence over honouring the spirit of their own promises.

Crimea, Ukraine, and the Road to War

In 2014, after a Western-supported revolution in Ukraine toppled a pro-Russian government, Russia seized Crimea by military force. It justified its action partly by pointing to the historic Russian identity of Crimea and partly by citing NATO’s broken assurances and Ukraine’s drift toward Western alliances as existential threats.

In 2022, the tensions erupted into a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

None of this excuses Russia’s military aggression, the suffering inflicted on Ukrainians, or the violation of international law. But it also cannot erase the reality that Western governments, particularly the United States and Germany, helped create the very conditions that made this war more likely by discarding the trust established at the Cold War’s end.

The conflict is not the result of one side’s actions alone. It is the product of broken promises, mutual suspicions, and the relentless pursuit of influence by both East and West.

Truth, Dignity, and the Future

The truth is uncomfortable for every side. Russia violated international law through force. The West violated trust through duplicity. Neither side acted with the honour that the sacrifices of World War II demanded from future generations.

In a world craving honesty, the lesson must be clear:

  • Honor must matter more than technicalities.
  • Sovereignty must be respected consistently, not selectively.
  • Peace must be built not just through military might, but through trust and restraint.

Today, ordinary people — Russians, Ukrainians, Europeans, and Americans — are paying the price for the failures of their leaders to uphold basic principles of dignity and truth.

History demands that we see these events not in black and white, but in full colour — with all the complexity, responsibility, and sorrow they deserve. Only by facing the truth honestly can we hope to build a future based not on betrayal, but on dignity and real partnership.

The world deserves nothing less. And the future demands nothing less.

Closing Call

Dedicated to the countless souls — Russian, Ukrainian, European, Americans and beyond — who have borne the cost of broken promises, lost honour, and forgotten truths.

History teaches us that betrayal, arrogance, and unchecked expansionism — whether Eastern or Western — ultimately lead not to peace, but to suffering. The true enemy of humanity is not one nation or another, but the cycle of deception, pride, and dishonour that corrupts all who wield unchecked power.

Today, as we reflect on the tangled story of Crimea, NATO, Russia, and Ukraine, we must reject simple narratives and embrace full truth — a truth that acknowledges both Western broken promises and Russian aggression. Neither side holds the moral high ground.

We must demand from our leaders something radically different:

  • Honour over technicalities.
  • Truth over propaganda.
  • Respect over domination.

The future of peace depends not on blind loyalty to flags or alliances, but on a global awakening to the shared responsibility of all governments to act with dignity, transparency, and restraint.

The world does not need more sides. It needs more truth. It needs more courage. It needs us — the ordinary people — to hold power accountable, no matter what flag it flies.

Only then can we break free from the cycle of betrayal and build a future worthy of the sacrifices of those who came before us.

✅ NATO now openly commits to absorbing Ukraine, knowing it is Russia’s deepest red line.

✅ NATO uses beautiful language — "freedom," "democracy," "self-defence" — while maneuvering Ukraine into becoming a military outpost against Russia.

✅ NATO ignores its own broken Cold War verbal promises while acting shocked at Russia’s violent responses.

NATO claims it is a defensive alliance, yet its steady expansion eastward broke Cold War verbal assurances and fueled Russian security fears. Ukraine’s membership path is framed as a sovereign choice, but no great power tolerates military alliances on its immediate borders, as history repeatedly shows.

While Russia’s invasions are illegal and brutal, NATO’s deepening military role in Ukraine makes it an active participant in escalation, not merely a bystander.

NATO’s promises of peace are contradicted by its actions, which sustain and prolong conflict rather than seeking true diplomacy. The future demands honesty about both Western and Russian mistakes, not sanitized myths that excuse endless war.

NATO is no longer a purely defensive alliance. It is an expanding military power bloc that prioritizes strategic domination over honest diplomacy. The tragedy is that ordinary Ukrainians, Russians, Europeans, and the world’s people will suffer — while elites gamble recklessly with history.
