MIT Shut Down Internal Grant Database After It Was Used to Research School’s Israel Ties (theintercept.com)

The Israeli Ministry of Defense has poured more than $3.7 million into developing warfare technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology since 2015, according to a recent report from students and faculty organizing against the war in Gaza.

The report was published last month by the MIT Coalition for Palestine, which represents 19 student and faculty groups on campus, including MIT Divest, MIT Jews for Collective Liberation, and MIT Faculty and Staff for Palestine.

After the student organizers began further probing grant information, the school took down the grant software used for the coalition’s research, said Rich Solomon, a member and MIT graduate student who worked on the report. “MIT has engaged in a sustained and organized campaign of disinformation and propaganda in order to silence and suppress this information,” Solomon told The Intercept.

I'm sure buying them is generally easier, this being the United States Of America.

Ya that's fair,.crazy low sums people will do corrupt stuff for. If you're going to be corrupt... At least get paid substantially for it. All this nonsense for stuff below like 200k is astonishing. I do hope Trump prosecutes the Democrats for that. At least some US federal politicians will see jail time 🤣 if the Trump admin doesn't actually go after some of them well..

They are just supposed to be controlled opposition, sending the higher ups to prison might lead to an actual workers party. Which as we know based off the decades of stories of "trump stiffs contractors because he can" is questionable as an outcome Trump particularly cares for, his donors definitely wouldn't be fans.

They can go that route. I don't think the business leaders and federal politicians of the world realize how fragile their lives are. How easy it is to 3d print guns and have your tracks covered with enough planning. Personally, I highly doubt Luigi was the one that killed that CEO considering his ties to Pelosi. That is a very, very repeatable event. At scale. Especially if co-ordinated to split glowy resources.

Get some mental help. You're seriously delusional and seem unstable.
