At least sixteen universities are promoting the book “How to Blow Up A Pipeline‚” which outlines for readers how to commit eco-terrorism — oftentimes making it required reading‚ a Daily Wire investigation found. The book was published in 2021 by Swedish professor Andreas Malm and calls for terrorism and overthrowing capitalism‚ acknowledging that people will be killed as a result. “Demolish them‚ burn them‚ blow them up. Let the capitalists who keep investing in the fire know that their properties will be trashed‚” the book says. Now multiple state-funded universities took classes that were nominally on unrelated topics‚ and contorted them into courses that read just four books‚ including the pipeline manifesto and a communist manifesto. At the University of California-Berkeley‚ for example‚ students of Geography &; Interactive Biology were required to read the book. Instructors Jake Kosek and Paul Fine took what was ostensibly a biology course and transformed it into one on “decolonization.” The syllabus states that the “class focuses on the scientific practice of modern botanical taxonomy as a colonial formation that conditions our modern relations” and how the names of plants “were often forged to be of service to empire-building.” The lessons across the country suggest that universities’ support for terrorism extends beyond the students supporting Hamas on many campuses. In fact‚ the book looks to Palestinian terrorists for inspiration‚ advising that‚ “As part of the mass resistance in the besieged Gaza Strip in the spring of 2018‚ Palestinians invented techniques for sending kites and helium-inflated condoms carrying incendiary materials across the wall to burn Israeli property.” U.S. intelligence identified the book as a “developing threat” and security risk because “Malm encourages pipeline sabotage and property destruction.” Twenty-three government agencies‚ including the FBI‚ warned that the film adaptation of the book‚ released in 2023‚ could spark terrorism. A New York Times interviewer was taken aback at Malm’s willingness to cause death. “It’s hard to think that deaths don’t become inevitable if there is more sabotage‚” the interviewer said. “Sure‚ if you have a thousand pipeline explosions per year‚ if it takes on that extreme scale. But we are some distance from that‚ unfortunately‚” Malm answered. “Don’t say ‘unfortunately‚’” the interviewer interjected. “Well‚ I want sabotage to happen on a much larger scale than it does now. I can’t guarantee that it won’t come with accidents‚” Malm replied. Malm said he hasn’t had the opportunity to blow up a pipeline personally but that he would “gladly participate” if given the opportunity. “If I were part of a group where something like blowing up a pipeline was perceived as a tactic that could be useful for our struggle‚ then I would gladly participate‚” he said. “I have engaged in as much militant climate activism as I have had access to” and “I’ve done things that I can’t tell you or that I wouldn’t tell others publicly.” He said he trained his four-year-old son to “be on the lookout for S.U.V.s” because the child “knows these are the bad cars” and has “an awareness of the tactic of deflating S.U.V. tires.” His own children were not the only youth being inculcated with an ideology of destruction. In Spring 2022‚ City University of New York professor Joseph Mohorcich required students to read the book as part of a course called Politics and Human Survival‚ which persuaded students that without radical action‚ “everyone could die a terrible death.” Students were also required to read “Revolutionary Suicide” by Black Panthers member Huey Newton‚ who was accused of murder and rape. Mohorcich wrote a paper called “What level of resistance to air pollution is justified? On violence and self-defense.” Arizona State University‚ a public university‚ required students of Professor Mina Suk’s “Are Humans Special? Environmental Theory” to read “How to Blow Up a Pipeline” that same semester. The University of California‚ San Diego required it in a class taught by Professor of Environmental Physics Brad Werner called “CGS 110 Intersectional Struggles for Environmental Justice.” The course says it focuses on “Colonial‚ capitalist and imperialist exploitation of and damage to the environment” and how “resistance developed‚” using “Critical Gender Studies Frameworks.” It includes “role-play exercises and simulations of exploitive/extractive-resistance movement systems.” Werner once argued for “sabotage by indigenous peoples‚ workers‚ anarchists and other activist groups” because the Earth was “f**ked.” The University of Washington required it in “Special Topics in Rights‚” where Professor of Political Science Jamie Mayerfeld asks‚ “Does capitalism help or hinder responsible climate policy? Is socialism a better way?” On the syllabus under the heading “What Should Activists Do?” is “How to Blow Up a Pipeline.” Only four other books are required; one is How to Be an Anticapitalist in the Twenty-First Century and another is A Planet to Win: The Case for a Green New Deal. At Illinois State University‚ students in an English class are required to read only four books‚ one of which is “How To Blow Up a Pipeline.” Another is a book on Marxism by Friedrich Engels‚ whom Vladimir Lenin called “the finest scholar and teacher of the modern proletariat.” Professor Christopher Breu describes capitalism as “cancerous” and “violence.” Next semester‚ Ohio State University may change the title of “Environmental Citizenship” to “Climate Justice‚” and require students to read the book as one of only four required readings. Another of the four is “Marx in the Anthropocene: Towards The Idea of Degrowth Communism.” That book‚ sold for $110‚ argues for making Western countries poorer. The course will no longer focus on “interdisciplinary perspectives on the environment‚” but instead on “political strategies for climate change” and “capitalism.” Professor Joel Wainwright warns ominously that “The carbon profiteers hope you fail to connect the dots‚” and argues for overthrowing not only capitalism‚ but also the concept of sovereign rule. Wainwright‚ a geography professor‚ is the author of Rethinking Palestine and Israel: Marxist Perspectives. In his book “Climate Leviathan‚” he praised “the most radical strategies of the climate justice movement” and called for “revolutionary events” overthrowing the U.S. government as well as that of China‚ because China is too “capitalist.” A spokesman for Ohio State said the course “is not listed for summer or autumn 2024‚” though the change request form says “Autumn semester 2023 Tuesday &; Thursday‚ 9:35-10:55 A.M.” and is listed as having been approved at every level except one‚ with the final one pending. None of the other universities responded to requests for comment. The Department of Homeland Security defines terrorism as any act that “is dangerous to human life or potentially destructive of critical infrastructure or key resources.”

Every Sunday morning‚ legacy media outlets are taken over by elected officials‚ aspiring elected officials‚ administration insiders‚ and the usual collection of talking heads — all of whom are there to discuss specific policies‚ push talking points‚ or simply promote their own campaigns. For those who don’t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to unravel a full week’s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed. ABC News‚ “This Week”: Political correspondent Rachel Scott and political director Rick Klein were on hand Sunday morning to break down the results of Saturday’s South Carolina Republican primary — which was called by multiple networks for former President Donald Trump within minutes of the polls closing. “Donald Trump was so confident‚ he barely even campaigned in this state‚ delivering a crushing blow to Nikki Haley in a state that elected her to the governor’s mansion twice‚” Scott said‚ noting that Trump had delivered a decisive victory despite the fact that his opponent was former Governor Nikki Haley (R-S.C.). “Donald Trump was so confident‚ he barely even campaigned in this state‚ delivering a crushing blow to Nikki Haley in a state that elected her to the governor’s mansion twice.” @rachelvscott has more on the South Carolina Republican primary results: https://t.co/8gU5fOzby2 pic.twitter.com/UszlmHnYNU — This Week (@ThisWeekABC) February 25‚ 2024 Klein observed that‚ at the end of the day‚ South Carolina voters just appeared to love what they were hearing from Trump: “Whether it’s immigration‚ whether it’s foreign policy‚ whether it’s the economy — Republican voters believe what Donald Trump is saying. They like what he is talking about. They like him.” “Whether it’s immigration‚ whether it’s foreign policy‚ whether it’s the economy — Republican voters believe what Donald Trump is saying.

You’d be doing a lot more. And all Americans that I talk to‚ nearly all‚ say that.” "What would America do?" Israeli PM @Netanyahu says about concerns over Israel's actions in the war and the civilian death toll in Gaza. "Would you not be doing what Israel is doing? You'd be doing a hell of a lot more.

Whitmer was responding to some Democrats on the far Left who are angry with Biden’s continued support for Israel in the war against Hamas — such as Rep. Rashida Tlaib — who have called for primary voters to write “uncommitted” on their ballots on Tuesday. “I’m not sure what we’re going to see on Tuesday‚” Whitmer told anchor Dana Bash‚ adding‚ “I know that we have got this primary‚ and we will see differences of opinion. I just want to make the case‚ though‚ that it’s important not to lose sight of the fact that any vote that’s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term.” Gov. @gretchenwhitmer tells @DanaBashCNN “I'm not sure what we're going to see on Tuesday” amid a push by some Democrats to vote “uncommitted” in Michigan’s primary to protest President Biden’s handling of the war in Gaza. pic.twitter.com/bQF7ugXnOh — State of the Union (@CNNSOTU) February 25‚ 2024 CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP NBC News‚ “Meet the Press”: Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) brushed off questions from NBC’s Kristen Welker about whether or not he was preparing to jump into the presidential race‚ taking Biden’s place if the party deemed it necessary.

Amidst the evolving retail environment and shifting consumer habits‚ retail giant Walmart has demonstrated a willingness to adapt by implementing a series of strategic store closures. This decision reflects not only a responsiveness to market demands but also a prudent approach in fortifying the sustainability of the company’s vast network of outlets across the nation. The closures signal a commitment to efficiency‚ a hallmark of conservative economic principles. In contrast to unchecked expansion‚ Walmart’s targeted strategy aims to consolidate its resources‚ enhancing the customer experience in remaining stores. With calculated retraction‚ the corporation can allocate more attention to service improvements‚ technological enhancements‚ and overall quality control. Obama ordered these guillotines to be used at FEMA internment camps for these times. Walmart stores were going to be turned into FEMA camps too. pic.twitter.com/BcDvznMsC4 — Qmum (@Nancy023922191) February 25‚ 2024 Furthermore‚ Walmart’s approach to streamlining operations includes a renewed focus on e-commerce‚ which has experienced unprecedented growth. By calibrating its investments towards online platforms‚ the retailer continues to secure its competitive edge in a market increasingly dominated by digital sales‚ therein safeguarding jobs and providing new opportunities for employment in burgeoning sectors. As Walmart assesses the performance of each store‚ underperforming locations are reallocated to bolster the rest of the network. This underscores the fundamental conservative value of fiscal responsibility and the avoidance of wasteful expenditure on outlets failing to meet the enterprise’s strict business criteria. According to this Bill‚ a plan is in place to divide the US into 10 districts or regions‚ to be implemented by FEMA in the event of martial law. This prospect is alarmingly reminiscent of the dystopian scenario depicted in The Hunger Games.

However‚ from a conservative perspective‚ the health of the broader economy is nurtured when businesses operate within their means and focus on profitability and long-term viability. The closures also present opportunities for local entrepreneurs and other retailers to fill the void left by Walmart. This can lead to increased diversity in the shopping options available to consumers and a move away from reliance on a single retail monolith‚ reinforcing the free market principle of competition. Additionally‚ Walmart’s strategic scaling back can be seen as a proactive step in navigating the lingering uncertainties in the economic landscape‚ maintaining resilience against potential downturns. This kind of forward-thinking is crucial as businesses confront a post-pandemic world and the unforeseeable challenges that lie ahead. Walmart’s story is one of adaptation and fiscal prudence‚ emblematic of the ethos that has long driven conservative economic thought. As the company continues to streamline its physical presence and bolster its digital platforms‚ it sets a prime example for other retailers navigating the complexities of modern consumer needs and preferences.   The post Walmart Adapts to Changing Economic Landscape with Strategic Store Closures appeared first on The Conservative Brief.
