What do a Yale scholar, a Columbia student, a Georgetown researcher, 60 colleges and universities under investigation for relentless antisemitic eruptions, and Hamas – have in common?
In traditional times, the answer should be absolutely nothing. Institutions like Yale, Harvard, UPenn, Georgetown, and Columbia were once guardians of liberal democratic values, committed to fighting hatred and violence. Yet, today, this is far from the case.
A dangerous alliance has formed between the progressive movement in the United States and radical Muslim groups, using the guise of victimhood to create an anti-American coalition. Though antisemitic and anti-Israel at its core, the ultimate goal of this Red-Green coalition is far broader: the systematic destruction of America from within.
To accomplish its goal the movement has exploited American institutions, using democracy itself as a tool to undermine the very values that have made the United States the world’s most successful democracy.
The Long Game: Indoctrination and Radicalization
For years, the Islamo-Leftist alliance has been laying the groundwork to infiltrate academia. Starting with faculty and staff before trickling down to students. With foreign funding funneled into higher education institutions, this campaign of radicalization has steadily gained ground. The results became undeniable after the Hamas – October 7 barbaric attack on Israel, when the alliance mobilized in force, targeting America and its closest ally, Israel.
Over the past several years, the Red-Green network of terror sympathizers have systematically radicalized young minds, fostering a generation that views America as an illegitimate entity. They push for open borders, the abolition of law and order, and the delegitimization of democratic governance – all under the banner of “justice” and “liberation.” But their goals are clear: to dismantle the very foundations of American society.
The consequences are visible. Radicalized student mobs have stormed administrative offices, taken over campus buildings, and issued violent threats against those who dare to dissent. Freedom of speech has been suffocated, unless it aligns with the Islamo-Leftist narrative.
The Terror Connection: The Threat Within
We now have evidence linking these radical campus activists to terror groups openly calling for the destruction of America.
Consider Helyeh Doutaghi, an Iranian academic recently suspended from Yale for her involvement with Samidoun, a U.S.-designated terrorist entity. Doutaghi has openly called for a fight against America and the overthrow of its so-called “dictatorship.”
Then there’s Khalil Mahmood and Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), a student-led initiative that seeks to dismantle both Israel and the United States. CUAD views America as an imperialist power, referring to their own activism as a fight from “within the belly of the beast.” Mahmood and CUAD activists have led aggressive protests, disrupted campus events, and pressured universities to cut ties with pro-American institutions.
Now, Mahmood’s legal case has become a rallying cry for leftist activists, who misleadingly frame it as a free speech issue while conveniently ignoring his open hostility toward the United States. His support among the progressive left underscores the extent to which the Islamo-Leftist alliance has gained influence, shaping the next generation of political extremists.
The Collapse of the Progressive Movement
The progressive movement has long harbored radical elements, but for many years, they remained on the fringes. Today, however, the radicals are no longer on the fringe, they are setting the agenda.
Leading progressive organizations now openly embrace slogans like “Globalize the Intifada” and “Bring Down the Empire.” Many young students chant these phrases without understanding their true meaning, believing they are fighting for “justice.” Yet these are not metaphors. The Red-Green radicals themselves admit they are direct calls for violence against American citizens.
At its core, the movement’s anti-American rhetoric represents a direct attack on the principles that define this nation. The United States was founded on liberty, democracy, and the rule of law, principles that have made it the freest and most prosperous country in history. But the Islamo-Leftist alliance sees these values as obstacles to its agenda. It embraces socialism, authoritarianism, and the suppression of free speech through intimidation and mob violence.
By radicalizing young Americans through university protests and social media propaganda, this movement is fueling a domestic insurgency designed to destabilize the nation from within.
The Global Threat: The Islamo-Leftist Alliance and Foreign Adversaries
This movement is not just a campus issue. It is a national security threat. It aligns itself with America’s foreign adversaries, openly supporting authoritarian regimes like China, Iran, Qatar, and Venezuela while demonizing U.S. foreign policy.
Radical activists in the U.S. describe American military efforts against Hezbollah and the Houthis, both designated as terrorist organizations, as “American terrorism.” Their hostility toward national sovereignty is evident in their push for open borders, knowing full well that a country without borders ceases to be a country at all. This is not about humanitarianism; it is about eroding America’s strength, identity, and ability to defend itself.
The Fight for America’s Future
The radicalization of American academia is no longer a fringe issue. It is a clear and present danger to national security. What we see on college campuses is a symptom of a larger problem: an organized effort to undermine America from within.
Universities, media outlets, and political institutions must stop legitimizing these extremist groups in the name of free speech. Law enforcement must take decisive action against those inciting violence. And American citizens must recognize that this fight is not about Jews or Israel – it is about the future of the United States itself.
By exposing and holding these extremists accountable, we can ensure that America remains a beacon of democracy and freedom. It is time for Americans to unite in defense of our country, reaffirm our commitment to its founding ideals, and resist the forces seeking to divide and destroy us. The future of the nation depends on it.

The radicals know what the slogans mean. They are true believers.
Time to start defunding leftists run campuses and fund the Police and Border Wall
Yes, we need to push back.
But it’s high time to be specific with our terminology.
America is NOT a democracy. The founders wanted nothing to do with democracy. Democracy becomes tyrannical through mob rule and destroys society.
America is a Constitutional Represented Republic.
The DOGE identifying the taxpayer funding of the anti American NGOs could be an excellent tool to get the lazy off of their butts. It will also determine if the socialist “philanthropists” are willing to spend their own money on demonstrations. Probably not.
It would also be an interesting study to look into the funding of the BLM and other protests of the last 10 years. It will not happen but it is fun to laugh about.
The radical Left are naive to think they can dismiss America civilians without being pawns to the Islamic state. They better think what they wish for
funded by middle east, george soros open spciety & others.
I cannot emphasize enough, the reading of Kurt Schlichter’s “The Attack”, his possible description of what a complete breakdown of law and order in this country, fomented by the Campus Jihadists and their willing jihadist campus idiot wannabes, the pampered white kids from the affluent suburbs.
Thank God Trump was elected by large majorities. The America-hatred tracks very clearly now and we know who the ringleaders are. While Trump is making inroads into cleaning up these radicalized campuses we have a ways to go before we actually start deporting the Muslim Jihadists and arresting the American accomplces.
District judges, appointed by Obama/Biden/Clinton will try their very best to prevent Trump from actually implementing his agenda. We see it happening already. And that’s when the fun begins and it gets real.
The kiddies and their Muslim leaders will be mucho pissed off, and then will come the “Bat” signal. The weapons will come out of the mosques and handed off to the “kill” squads.
Be ready for that. Have your guns and ammo at hand. Form your ad hoc protection groups/militias. There will be no police presence at first.
Good luck. America First.
You’re right. There are thousands of Sleeper Cells hidden in those Mosques ready for the alarm to ring, but they only have two weapons and there will be no way to stop them because even their woman and children will be the combatants. Since PROFILING will be outlawed so they are then free TO BURN THE COUNTRY DOWN…. WITH MATCHES AND GASOLINE! Every Muslim will be a combatant, and millions of Americans will join them… so now what?
You should read the book. If you do you will find out that any semblance of law and order has broken down. No one will be worrying about profiling.
And stop looking for reasons not to defend yourself. Better to die standing up than on your knees.
Adam: “Over the past several years, the Red-Green network of terror sympathizers have systematically radicalized young minds, fostering a generation that views America as an illegitimate entity.”
MAKE THAT “OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES” starting during the Vietnam War when the Communist Party USA teamed up with the SOVIET KGB’S WORLD PEACE COUNCIL which aided and abetted the Vietcong. Again, in the ’80s when they teamed up again to take over Central America and the beginning of attempting to take over Mexico starting with the Zapatistas in Chiapas, the most southern State of Mexico.
NOW A COMPLETE TAKE OVER OF ALL COLLEGES. When a Democrat is in a hiring position, they only hire Democrats.
(I had my plane ticket to go there this past Feb. but I got a call from the State Department that there was no travel to Chiapas from Juarez. My FB friends there said, “Muy Peligroso”, very dangerous, so I cancelled. I was there in March/April 2022 and Army checkpoints all over. During a newscast, the news clip showed a large Soccer stadium parking lot in Tapachula, right on the Guatemalan border, filled with about fifty plus white unmarked buses with ILLEGALS getting in them. “The MEXICAN ARMY is going to escort them to the United States border.” SO… THERE YOU GO… MEXICO WAS HELPING THEM and certainly with the approval of KAMALA/MAYORKAS. The scenes showing people walking on the roads, implying that they’re walking thousands of miles, is actually between the two countries in a BUFFER ZONE of about a mile at most. A private vehicle took me to the Guatemalan border for $15. The border was a rope across the road and a checkpoint to get a Visa which I had to bribe the official with $20 to get one. CORRUPT!)
TRUE, i live in mexcio-
It’s not just the funding – it’s the FREEDOM of the RADICALS to espouse ANTI-AMERICA hatred that leads to violence and damages! At that point it’s not FREE SPEECH! I firmly believe that the Supreme Court was WRONG long ago when they ruled that burning Our Flag was “free speech” – where would they stand on a bonfire of korans”?? What these radical terrorists are doing is attempting to OVERTHROW OUR GOVERNMENT! Now they might not be storming the Military Bases, but poisoning the minds of those young nitwits with their ANTI-AMERICA ideology is just as dangerous – look what the ones in CONGRESS do!!
Columbia should be shut down- NOW! I’d sent in the National Guard to clear it – remove the “protesters” – and reopen to allow REAL students to study in peace! THEN I’d keep a small group of Guards to quell any future protests! College is supposed to be about learning – not protesting! Set up a “Protest Area” far from the Educational sections so that serious people can have a safe environment! But ideally – just shut it down!
The ones who really crack me up are the Politically Correct Woke University professors.
They spend their career teaching their students that America is a systemically racist and evil white male patriarchy.
They teach their students that America is the source of all of the injustice in the world and the most evil and racist country that has ever existed.
They teach their students that Israel stole land from the poor Palestinians and that the Palestinians who murder, rape and kidnap Jews are justified in resisting the evil colonialist Jewish state because they are Oppressed.
They teach their students that Western Civilization is just a racist white male invention and the most racist and evil civilization that has ever existed and the source of all suffering and misery in the world.
They teach their students that capitalism is evil and the reason for all suffering throughout history and around the world.
They teach their students that they all vestiges of Western Civilization and capitalism must be destroyed.
Except, of course, for their tenured positions and six figured salaries. Those must be preserved.
They don’t even realize that their jobs and their salaries are the products of Western Civilization and capitalism.
The radicalism we see was present on many campuses in the late 1960’s but did not typically have strong, unified backing by administrators and faculty members. Now they’re one big angry family pulling in the same destructive direction. They now have many reinforcements from radical Muslim movements. Cutting them off from their money supply and removing legal protection from their non-citizens could do some good, but too many institutions are beyond all repair.
This is the latest generation of “useful idiots” created by the Soviet KGB’s Operation SIG. Everything coming out of this “Free Palestine” movement is verbatim from Operation SIG. Everything. This was one of the most successful active measures campaigns in history. We can clearly see how this diabolical campaign still reverberates throughout academia and elsewhere.
This may require a revolution of those of us committed to our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Sometimes it seems that we law abiding citizens are too passive looking to law enforcement authorities to address these issues. Now, we are rapidly descending into a very dark, evil reality from which mankind might find it virtually impossible to exit. While the left sees itself as co-authoritarians of this coalition, they too are being very deliberately misguided. Islamists will conveniently ascribe to their leftist rhetoric the delusion of great value and use them until such time as they are certain they can wrest control from these infidels and then pivoting from their secular system (from which they have derived great benefit) to their extreme religious, theocratic. authoritarian beliefs and the willful subjugation of all peoples under sharia law or dhimmitude.
While many on the left think themselves as the elite brainiacs, they truly are unaware of the deeply nefarious evil they have bedded down with for whom all actions are allowable in conquering land and people for which they are not and will never be the exception. Their rainbow flags but one admission of their depravity to the god they are unwittingly defiling and the adherents who will, as the time comes, behead them for this and other transgressions against Allah.
Muslim terrorists have been taking full advantage of any place where large numbers of people gather to learn or get information.
The schools and the media are perfect examples for such places.
All they need to do is plant their agents, bribe some others, and simply fool many others to promote islamic evil lies and propaganda.
Well, Adam,
There’s an article in today’s Arutz Sheva wherein Nir Barkat rightly says that Qatar must be declared an enemy state, but Bibi says it isn’t one and won’t be declared so. Of course, given how deeply infiltrated Jewry is by Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood, he would say that, wouldn’t he?
The Islamification of American higher education didn’t begin with radical faculty and staff, it started with the Muslim Student Organization in 1963 which now numbers over 500 pro-Hamas chapters at universities, as well as two year colleges.
From Wikipedia on the origins of the Muslim Student Association:
“The first MSA National chapters were formed in 1963 at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (UIUC) by international students. The initial leadership primarily came from Arabic-speaking and Urdu-speaking members, with guidance from students of the Egyptian-based Muslim Brotherhood and Pakistan-based Jamaat-e-Islami Islami movements. A Saudi Arabian charity, the wahhabist Muslim World League, provided early funding for the groups.”
Perhaps the earliest Islamist faculty member was Edward Said, hired by Columbia University in 1963. Said went on to have faculty appointments at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, etc. Who was funding this advocate for the Muslim Brotherhood? Rashid Khalidi now carries on Said’s work at Columbia.
And don’t overlook Sayyid Qutb, who after spending time at American universities from 1948-1950 authored the foundational manifesto for radical political Islam titled “Milestones”. As a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, his disdain for the West lead to the
formation of the MB’s military wing known as HAMAS.
