Every year or so, or maybe more often, gullible reporters pick up on another campus hoax involving racist incidents. These incidents often involve some connection with the ancient KKK, such as nooses, white hoods, burning crosses, etc. I can’t remember the last time one of these incidents turned out to be “genuine.” It usually turns out that the perpetrator was involved in some minority activist outfit, and trying to drum up sympathy and/or hatred against perceived racial or gender rivals, usually heterosexual white men.
Despite the fact that these incidents are consistently found to be hoaxes, people on the left still rush to believe them because they fit the political narrative. Just as reports of Satanism invariably surface in religious fundamentalist communities, reports of KKK activity and the like are far more common in fundamentalist equalist institutions such as universities.
In Oberlin college, someone was allegedly spotted lurking around in a KKK outfit near the Afrikan Heritage House at 1:30AM. If that doesn’t scream “HOAX,” I don’t know what does. If there actually were a white male in a KKK outfit on a campus as left-wing as Oberlin, one would have to assume he was mentally ill, because the retribution against him would be overwhelming.
So why do people stage these hoaxes? For the same reason the Soviets staged show trials and the Nazis manufactured the Gleiwitz incident. It’s a pretext for taking aggressive action against a political enemy.
Feminists use rape in exactly the same manner. Every rape becomes a political act; a casus belli that justifies measures against the enemy — straight men. What was once considered a crime committed by a depraved individual becomes part and parcel of the narrative of oppression and the gender war. I’m not sure how many false accusations of sexual violence are directly politically motivated (probably not many), but as demonstrated in the Duke Lacrosse case, feminists are always on the lookout for incidents they can exploit.
This creates an environment in which accusations are encouraged because people are so eager to believe them. Just as Cotton Mather and his fellow Puritan fanatics created an atmosphere ripe for false accusation and hysteria, culminating in the Salem Witch Trials, assorted equalist political fanatics have done the same on campuses across the US. Perhaps it’s no surprise that higher education in the US is directly descended from Puritan institutions.

Too bad the police rarely prosecute false rape accusations with the intent of destroying the false accuser’s life for good (lengthy jail time for the accuser; loss of voting privileges; and inability to pay her debt to society as convicted felons CAN’T pay their debt to society even though most of them WANT to pay their debt to society).
Same thing for campus hate hoaxes.
I wonder how Manboobz will try to spin this one. Always notice the threads he tries to spin versus the ones he doesn’t even try to spin.
“Perhaps it’s no surprise that higher education in the US is directly descended from Puritan institutions.”
Aha! Is it no surprise then, that I am directly descended from Mary Easty?

Maybe not!

The big difference is, the Puritans were both introspective and honest enough, that they eventually realized that the witch hunting had gotten way, way out of hand, and they stopped it. And several of the leaders publicly confessed that it was a big mistake. This is a matter of historical record.
Campuse leftists, no matter how often they are proved wrong, NEVER admit it and NEVER apologize for it. In their sick worldview, if it hurts white male normalsexuals, it must somehow be good. Whether or not it’s actually the truth, just isn’t a consideration with them.
Welmer said:

A more cynical interpretation is that so much more than the mere fitting of a political narative, these hoaxes are infact the only bread and butter source for outcasts and misfits. That is, people whom cannot get on nor make it on merit alone.
It is no different with feminism, which is a similar grand hoax of misrepresentaion, by which millions of parasites and bottom feeding scum get a free share of the civil-social dividend.
I should however be borne in mind at the same time that these synthetic ghosts, phantoms, and warlocks only exist because the elites staffing institutions give them official validation and respectability.
So many salaries, wages and emoluments of State beureacrats are dependant on the provision and processing of service to inferior fools. And for these elite style system-parasites, there is no better way to guarantee continued service-provision for their borrowed wages and their salaries, than by validating big lies.
“Campuse leftists, no matter how often they are proved wrong, NEVER admit it and NEVER apologize for it.”
Being Liberal means never having to say you’re sorry.
The main street media emphasizes alleged rape instances while simultaneously downplaying the hoaxes . Reporters and journalists graduate from liberal cookie-cutter schools and their circle of friends and influences also mimic liberal and socialist thought.
These so-called reporters are influenced by communications from feminist groups. Sometimes 3 or 4 women will crank out hundreds of bits of correspondence demanding that ‘women’s’ issues be front and center in newspapers and in the broadcast media.
I’ll bet the denizens of Yellow Springs, Ohio, home of Antioch University, are secretly fuming over Oberlin being the center of attention in the anti-racist world.
Years of my life I sat in that treed area you see in In Oberlin college,To think Oberlin is now a college that uses such trashy low hanging fruit to garner attention turns my stomach .
A happy blend of Music and arts along with the engineering dept donated By Carnegie and one of his true passions . Was always the way I’ll remember the school .
Lorain County tucks away some natural wonders and park scenes so beautiful I still travel that way many time a year just to gaze at the natural beauty . This area is seen bye too few people .
Never have I seen a KKK presence or even a hint of such activity’s in or around that area . Although I can no longer afford to send my children to such a prestigious college This would be my choice for them .
In the fall on a warm morning a haze will appear in that area the leaves change and the native trees lay there old discarded branches on the ground a wonderful thing happens the area A smells like someone dumped a bottle of the most wonderful perfume on the whole county .
I can’t imagine the people of that area doing nothing but a small giggle and a appreciation for the right of even the small minded KKK , I think they would drive them away with kindness .
From Cascade park to the islands of Sandusky, Hatched between Mountain and the shores of the lake Erie I can assure you” if you haven’t experienced it ” you just won’t understand how foolish the Idea of a racily divided Oberlin .
The “KKK sighting” appears to be unraveling as we speak. Do they have to be such amateurs about it? What good is a hoax if isn’t clever and amusing so we can all laugh at ourselves? These incidents are strictly intended to gin up controversy and funding for Professional VIctim’s organizations, which find comfortable nests in our institutions of higher learning. Absent actual vitcimizers, they invent them.
Back when I was a youngster we had “Elvis” sightings and “streaking”.
Them were the days.
Absent actual vitcimizers, they invent them.
Paraphrasing Ayn Rand’s prophetic comment about excess laws….
There’s no way to rule innocent white men. The only power the politically correct have, is the power to crack down on “racists”. When there aren’t enough “racists”, one makes them. One declares so many things to be “racism”that it becomes impossible for white men to live without being “racist.”
This is the exact definition of ‘witch hunt’.
It is regrettable that in an article on a hoax one should be wheeled-out which almost certainly never happened, namely Gleiwitz: the (only) testimony and from the Allied show-trial which was Neuremburg looks distinctly odd and the Germans in any event had plenty of (as they saw it) justification for invading Poland without the need to go in for hoaxes.
Of course on other threads I get flak for suggesting that on another well known matter we are dealing with a hoax.
Thanks for the background joeb. As a former resident of Greene County, home of Antioch, I concur with your description. Positing the decent residents of Ohio as racist is preposterous on its face. I used to drive a delivery truck all over southern Ohio and Indiana, often to many quaint old towns full of conservative folks. Also I delivered to the black communities of Dayton and Cincinnati. What I found was that “conservatives” were the most tolerant and inclusive of others and that the rabid, militant bull dykes of Yellow Springs and their beta manginas were the most bigoted and ill-mannered folks in the region.
Missoula, Montana is now the “rape capital of America”.

Ever since the “Dear Collegue” mandate suspending habeas corpus for young men accused of rape on college campuses – there have been 80 cases of rape “mishandled” by local police. There had been NONE previous to this. The Feds are on the case.
Co-eds are drinking, having sex with atheletes, and accusing them of rape to FEED the hysterics and outrage. One could surmise that young feminist women on campus are conspiring to set men up for rape accusation. Don’t think they would stoop that low to forward their agenda? Think again.
Hook-up culture is no longer safe for young men on our college campuses. It’s a potential entrapment scenerio.
The Ohio region is also heavily populated by “hillbillies” (or “briars” as the locals call them); folks of Appalachian descent mainly. An interesting demographic well-described by the writings of George MacDonald Frazer (The Steel Bonnets: The Story of the Anglo-Scottish Border Reivers), and David Hackett Fisher (Albion’s Seed: Four British Folkways in America ).
These are the kind of people that outlets like Salon love to heap scorn and ridicule upon. Thing is, they actually live with or in close proximity to blacks, so much in contrast to the anti-racist liberals who bravely pen their diatribes from the ramparts of their all-white communities. In between candle-light vigils that is.

That area and especially the parks and beeches are simply beautiful . Living in Cleveland for 20 year , It almost killed me .
Just a short twenty minuet ride west give a man a new perspective on life .
this was a revaluation for me . Time to heal and time to rethink life in Oberlin and Lorain county was a fond memory .
And it’s never going to change. Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Asians are never going to forgive us for our real and imagined crimes against them. Why would they? Grievance is so profitable – but there’s more: it’s natural. Only Whites could have ever come up with an idea like Mulit-Culturalism or that Race doesn’t matter. So the question become existential, what do we do? Do we forgive ourselves and fight or do we accept their viewpoint of us and die?
It’s not like we would be destroying some kind of “Terrible Beauty”. The Left is a Grievance Coalition held together by hate and spoils. Once Whites are ruined they will turn on each other. America is no longer viable and there was never a chance that this would work. It never has. We are the decaying Roman Empire filled with Non Roman; we are the decaying corpse known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, filled with groups that hated each other. It has to fall and it will. Whites have to be ready to claim a hefty chunk or two when the time comes.
One declares so many things to be “racism”that it becomes impossible for white men to live without being “racist.”
This is where the term “dog whistle” comes from. Almost anything a white male says is a “dog whistle” (silent whistle only dogs can hear), for racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamaphobia, etc. Conservative, hetero-normative, privilaged white males speak in a subliminal, coded language only they understand. But the Left is not fooled, because they must see racism and sexism in anyone who doesn’t agree with their world view to protect their ideology from being scrutinized.
It’s a refined version of “Rules for Radicals” tactics to keep the opposition “frozen”, always on the defensive, never permitted space to debate liberal policies on facts, empirical data and merit. “If you’re against VAWA funding, you must be FOR women being beaten.” “If you’re against amnesty for illegal aliens, you hate hispanics.”
Critical Theory is also at play in how Obama is governing. He does nothing but blame Republicans for everything while offering no solutions himself. When Republicans propose something it gives him a target to criticize, diminish them, marginalize them publicly. Harry Reid (Senate Leader) does this as well.
He wanted tax rate increases, when the Republicans wanted to close deduction loopholes instead. The Republicans give him his rate increase, and 6 weeks later Obama wants more tax increases, but through loopholes. When Republicans refuse, he says, “Just last month they wanted to close loopholes, now they don’t!”. Nothing can be his fault because he never does anything. Most Americans don’t see through this three card monte.
The only reason an alpha male would go to a school like Oberlin is for easy pickin’s of all the women there. After all, it’ going to be easy when the “other” so-called males are either: 1) manginas or 2) white knights.
The fact that someone would make up such facts to close the College down is not shocking. It simply shows how far the political left will go to “drown out” speech which offends it.
And as for the “easy women,” most alphas know that pump and dumps only last so long with girls who have leftwing (i.e. feminist) political viewpoints.
Is this the new “bomb threat”? I remember when school would get closed down for a day or two due to bomb threats. These bomb threats usually coincided with days holding big exams…
@Jaego
Occasionally bringing up race in the context of PC hypocrisy is all well and good, but it isn’t really the most important issue here. After all, most people date, marry and have children within their own race/ethnic group, so the gender wars are a more pressing personal problem for most of us. Racial division, IMO, is more of a macro problem of political disunity on a large scale. Feminism and the like are much bigger problems in our own homes and families.
I tend to think white nationalists are blind to this. They ignore the problems in their own homes and families, focusing instead on more abstract issues like crime in Detroit. If you can’t keep your own house in order, you’re in trouble no matter what, so if you really care about your people the first order of business should be creating harmony in the most fundamental of communities: the family.
Never mind.
I read “Campus hate hoaxes”, but I knew for a fact that campuses LIKE hoaxes.
Proceed.
@Uncle Elmer
You said “candle light vigils.”
I think when you are addressing demoncrats and other assorted liberals the correct terms are “Wigi Board and sayonce” When they light candles. Or maybe they are just smoking a reefer with their false accuser in waiting girlfriend, and need to set the ambiance before they claim to have talked to Edgar Allen Poe? Or both?
I could be wrong, never had the pleasure of joining them, and contrary to popular belief I don’t smoke, do crack, or practice wiccan. So I am somewhat short on personal experience. You’ll have to ask. If you do ask though, make sure they call up Jim Morrison and Buddha.
I bet it would be hilarious.
If you can’t keep your own house in order, you’re in trouble no matter what, so if you really care about your people the first order of business should be creating harmony in the most fundamental of communities: the family.-WP
Too true! If it was 1900.
Since then, you could sweep, paint, fix, and organize like a ship full of sailors on cleaning detail on a daily basis, and still wind up the same as the laziest bum who was too tired to feed himself.
Sad times we live in. Of course, our exes get several benefits checks “for our kids.” So I guess that makes it all better?
Which reminds me, time to sweep up my own home; to bad I can’t sweep the woman out. So much more tidy when it is just me; quieter too. I honestly miss being single with no kids and no Damocles sword over my head. Does that make me selfish?
@Mr Price
I agree. White Nationalists need alot of work in this area just like the rest of America. I’m trying in my own way – often preaching the good news of MGTOW on other sites, both White Nationalist and Mainstream. And I often link to The Spearhead. Here’s a recent example where I debated a White Knight White Nationalist, Matt Parish – who thinks Christianity means equality between the sexes. To be fair, he is against Feminism and the ideology of sameness and it is a good article in this general sort of way.

“The big difference is, the Puritans were both introspective and honest enough, that they eventually realized that the witch hunting had gotten way, way out of hand, and they stopped it.”
I was under the impression that they “realized that the witch hunting had gotten way, way out of hand” right about the same time that accusations were being leveled at folks higher up the food chain.
When you count on fear mongering religious fanatics to do your political dirty work for you, it can bite you in the ass. They simply needed to shoot the rabid dog they had created.
“It is regrettable that in an article on a hoax one should be wheeled-out which almost certainly never happened, namely Gleiwitz: the (only) testimony and from the Allied show-trial which was Neuremburg looks distinctly odd and the Germans in any event had plenty of (as they saw it) justification for invading Poland without the need to go in for hoaxes.”
==============================================
Spot on, Opus. My understanding is that the so-called Gleiwitz incident was in absolutely no way “played up” by the German government, and therefore it cannot in any way be considered a “pretext” or “hoax” or “false flag”. The tens of thousands of ethnic German refugees from Poland were sufficient evidence to motivate any self-respecting German to act decisively.
I’m willing to stand corrected on this issue if any reader can enlighten me as to how this incident was played up. BTW, I am thoroughly unimpressed by testimony at what you justly call “the Allied show trial at Nuremberg” that is not backed up by authentic documents or other physical evidence. Soviet judges are not to be trusted, and neither are US judicial bureaucrats in league with the rabidly Germanophobic Eisenhower.
@Torgo and Opus.
You may be right, maybe the Iron Helmeted fascists did not need any pretext?
Yet the Brits and French sure did when they signed a treaty that allowed the Germans to invade Poland, and then spot them the proverbial broom stick with which to clean their colons when the sauerkraut’s declared war on them too. Brits sure did love them an Irish chimney sweep! Until they got to be a hassle and then sent as a “criminal” to the different colonies.
Maybe the Germans promised a closeted offer to bring back something they missed? The Irish sure as hell weren’t going to do it.
Also, I usually like asking “impolite” Frenchies if the reason they hate us (USA) so much is because they wanted to speak German?

Why the hell would you preach MGTOW to white nationalists? The NUMBER ONE priority of any white nationalist, should be, breed more white kids at any cost! Even at the risk of divorce, ruination, jail… the imperative to preserve the breed should, logically, require a WN to go right ahead and marry and procreate despite those dangers.
No sane white nationalist would ever go MGTOW. You’re not a true WN until you’ve produced at least 3 children. Til then, it’s all talk.
@Opus, Torgo
“Almost certainly never happened”… on which grounds?
Let’s look at the facts:
- Himmler requested from Canaris 150 Polish military uniforms for various false flags actions. He personally visited another planned false flag operation in Hochlinden.
- There was at least 200 prepared and few dozen executed propaganda actions by Third Reich with a goal of proving so called “Polish provocations”, these actions then resulted in Polish police taking actions against German Intelligence on the territory of Poland. The exact same scenario was successfully executed by Konrad Heinlein in Sudetenland against Czechoslovakia which was then used as grounds for Munich Conference.
- As El Bastardo pointed out already – the “Gleiwitz incident” was never aimed at finding pretext for starting a war. The goal of this (as in Sudetenland case) was to internationally isolate Poland and make the war to be Poland-Germany only. For this Hitler’s plan was: by isolating Poland and accusing Poland of crimes against German minority it gave France and Britain pretext to remain passive in the conflict and do not engage on Polish behalf (as guaranteed by treaties between these countries)
- The blame of this particular incident was expected to fall on participants of Silesian Uprising. For this one of the participant of original uprising Franciszek Haniok was arrested day before by German police. His body was found following day in the radio station with full documents as a proof (the only exactly identified body). Remaining dead bodies were of German concentration camp political prisoners (so called “Conserve” the term used by Germans to describe their expected function).
- Gleiwitz incident was staged to be executed by civilians (the mentioned Silesian Uprising). The remaining 2 more operations happening the same evening were Polish military uniforms were used: Hochlinden (mentioned Himmlers visit) and Pitschen.
The fact that Nurnberg trials were in many cases staged by Soviets, as evidence by an example of Katyn Forest massacre does not make the facts suddenly “Almost certainly never happened”….
Ah yes, the Gleiwitz Hoax. It must have been a coincidence that the Germans just happened to have over 1 million men positioned in the north, central, and southern areas opposing Poland and just happened to be ready to attack with planes, tanks and even ships the next morning.
The left always needs an approved target for hate. In the USSR, it was “Trotsky” for years, even after he was assassinated by one of Stalin’s killers. In Mao’s China, it was “landlords” and “rightward deviationists”.
The left in the US has many approved targets for hate, the KKK is but one. Of course, there isn’t a Ku Klux Klan anymore, the few old men sitting on porches in parts of the South, sucking their gums, simply don’t count. But facts don’t matter. It’s the symbology that counts.
So of course a noose hanging on a door in New York City must be the work of the KKK. Of course some hooded figure on the campus of Oberlin must be the Klan – that part of Ohio surely was a hotbed of Klan activity, it’s just that no one knew it. Because facts no longer matter, it is feelings that count. The more emotion, the better…
I suggest that we all re-read Orwell’s “1984″. Many of the techniques used or described are becoming commonplace in the US.
And yes, East Asia has always been at war with Oceana…
Hey W.F.Price,
I scanned through the posts and was surprised nobody commented on this.
New information has surfaced regarding the alleged KKK appearance.
“Oberlin police: Person in KKK outfit may have been a woman with a blanket”

I am skeptical of many things- but especially of anything coming out of the mouth of women. There’s an opinion that says they make the best spies — there must be a reason.
As an example of lying at its worst (or best) – take a look at this article- written by a female “specialist” on Cuba – asserting how much better her Sistahs are doing in Cuba now that they have more “equality”. I think Stephens is not her real name (aroma of Eastern Europe).
