Again, I wrote some years back that educators and intellectuals would be singled out for a cleansing and that this we should recognize to be the death knoll of justice and democracy in America — eg., just as it did in early 20th century France, Germany, Russia etc. This combined with the brandishing of military weaponry on our city streets, the vilification of immigrants and the horrendous profiling and killings of innocent black people, arrests of witnesses with cameras; these events should have you on the edge of your seats. Teachers, professors, writers, and others who by profession or natural inclination set a high standard of objective intellectual scrutiny — these individuals of course will get the wrath of those whose abuse of the power of their aggregated wealth is exposed.
