Does anyone have anything concrete on the Biden regime aiding, coordinating, or assisting the crackdowns on college campuses in the USA last year?
I’m looking for something to throw at a lib. I’d thought that DC coordinated the crackdowns but I can’t find anything at all, all the news sources I can dig up either make vague claims based on Biden’s speeches or don’t talk about any kind of coordination.
I’d be frankly shocked if the waves of repression across the country weren’t coordinated in some fashion by some body. Since US policing has been steamlined and vertically integrated since 9/11 I assumed their would be documents showing it was coordinated by federal authorities through police intelligence fusion centers, national intelligence briefs, things like that but I cannot find anything. Before I eat my crow and admit I was wrong does anyone have anything showing federal coordination and involvement?
Framed another way, it should be damning that the US govt DIDN’T STEP IN to protect students on college campuses from violent zionists and fascist police forces
Glad to see you still around. Hope you’re doing well!
I haven’t seen anything yet… The closest thing to elite coordination that I’m aware of was the WhatsApp chats and some zooms.
I think there was a mix of intimidation and also collaboration with colleges. Putting several collage presidents through 5 hours of grilling on their “handling of antisemitism” on their campuses can only read as intimidation to me. After these hearings, a wave of reports about what the “Biden administration is doing to combat antisemitism” were released. Here are some links I found in my searches.

Don’t try and beat libs with facts. They’re like dogs; they only hear your tone. You can’t always communicate every idea.
Commenting so I can find this again. I would assume the answer is yes, as you have, but I haven’t seen anything definitive.
Yeah I’m just kind of shocked that there apparently isn’t any evidence of federal coordination of a nation wide violent police response. It’s a lot easier for me to accept “The feds helped/coordinated/did it” than believing a bunch of useless uni admins pulled together effective national scale police repression without help, especially given the enormous number of mechanisms that have been built up since 9/11 for exactly this kind of wide-spread repression.
but who’s going to report on it?
Iirc it took a while after Occupy before we got the confirmation that the feds were working hand in hand with the banks to shut down the protests. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time.
On my campus I gather that the administration called an FBI anti-terrorism hotline when protestors entered the admin building, and after that the campus police kicked off their wave of repression. I can try to find something concrete.
