Manning as a scholar
The traitor and spy who was known as Bradley Manning when he was in the Army, up until he decided that he was a woman, who was eventually had his sentence commuted by the President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama, is now teaching at Harvard University, according to Military Times;
Chelsea Manning will be joining Harvard University as a visiting fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, according to the school’s website.
Manning will speak on issues of LGBTQ identity in the military, Institute of Politics Fellows co-chairs Emily Hall and Jason Ge wrote in an announcement posted Wednesday.
“We welcome the breadth of thought-provoking viewpoints on race, gender, politics and the media,” Bill Delahunt, IOP acting director, said in the announcement.
Yeah, if you’re sending your kids to Harvard, and this shows up on your child’s transcript, you should pull your child from the University because they’re not learning anything. Manning hasn’t shown any remorse for his crimes, and Harvard hired him because Manning has name recognition…and nothing more. Otherwise they would have hired someone who was transgender and in the military and wasn’t imprisoned for being a traitor.
And really, what do “issues of LGBTQ identity in the military” have to do with anything – it’s right up there with underwater basket-weaving.
From the Harvard announcement;
“Chelsea E. Manning is a Washington D.C. based network security expert and former U.S. Army intelligence analyst. She speaks on the social, technological and economic ramifications of Artificial Intelligence through her op-ed columns for The Guardian and The New York Times. As a trans woman, she advocates for queer and transgender rights as @xychelsea on Twitter. Following her court martial conviction in 2013 for releasing confidential military and State Department documents, President Obama commuted her 35-year sentence, citing it as “disproportionate” to the penalties faced by other whistleblowers. She served seven years in prison.”

Quibble, Jonn: I believe Manning had his sentence commuted, he was not pardoned. He remains a convicted felon.
That’s okay though because only his security (paid for by pussified rich liberal whiner-babies) will be armed for his protection…..
Bwahahahahahahahahaha….FU Harvard
The same school that pays Senator Elizabeth “fauxcahontas” Warren 400 grand to teach one class is not surprising me with this. Though, they are rather infuriating me.
The US Government should sue him for all the monetary cost his dumbass bullshit caused. That includes all the man hours to change plans and strategy, respond to wikileaks bullshit, along with all the time we spent dealing with his trial, etc etc etc. Fuck that little piece of shit.
When this was posted on facebook by Doctrine Man, SJW’s couldn’t help but pipe in to say, “She!” every chance they could get because that’s “common decency”. So ridiculous that we’re supposed to give decency to a scumbag traitor who uses transgender as an excuse, along with using it to gain sympathy about what he did.
GOD, Jesus, Joseph, Mary and Haile Selassie, are they giving maximum effort to make themselves as big of a launching stock as they can? These days I see a Harvard edjimacayshun being as useless as one from UC Berzerkely.
Kids are better off going to trade school
ABSOLUTELY, some kid going to say, Welding School can easily earn $50+K a year after graduation while someone graduating with a four year degree can only get about half that most of the time, ditto with Plumbing, Electrical, or Mechanical training and if they become a Machinist/Millwright they will have a skill that’s in VERY high demand.
One of my daughters could have gotten into any college she wanted, but decided to go the electrician route. She was making around $20 an hour while still in school. Now that she is a Journeyman she is making a pretty good living.
BZ to your daughter! We need more electricians!
KUDOS to her, she now has an education and skill set that is in FAR higher demand than what the vast majority of four year degrees will give someone.
Not to mention the sheer value of a 4-year head start in bringing in an income by the time the college graduate is finished. And then too that with possible high five figure or six figure debt before earning their first dollar. Mathematically it’s very difficult to ever “catch up.” I have a degree but if it weren’t for the GI Bill + Army college fund I would not. Also worked the whole time in college.
People also play lottery with their welfare checks and one of them from time to time wins becoming a millionaire. One case doesn’t prove the argument. Over and over again, it has been shown that a college education leads to higher income- annually and accruing over a lifetime. Nothing wrong with either choice- trade school is essential to the economy and the right fit for some people, while college and a profession is better for others. Graduates of 4y college programs earn an average of 2.4 million in a career. Up to 4.1 million for engineers and mgmt, down to around 1.4 million for the service industry. Yes, while it is true that there are some people in technical fields making 50k a year, most of these people end up making a lot less, while their employees make a killing- example: auto mechanics. Shop charges $100 an hour, pays the mechanic $25 an hour with no guarantee of full time.
Then college grads can well afford to pay their student loans with no taxpayer help.
Amen. And zero loan forgiveness for them either if that’s the case.
WTF really? You compare a young man or woman who goes to welding school at 18 and works hard for 47 years to a welfare queen lottery whore? Totally unrealistic.Bullshit.
Me and a friend graduated in 1989. We both left to the military immediately. We both ets’d in 1992. He went straight to work at a local global chemical plant. I went to college 5 years. No regrets from either of us. He is eligible to retire now 25 years in with the company he went to work for. He isn’t going to, but he can. Between that and his 401k it would be a sweet deal, but he is young and healthy so he is keeping on. In spite of my degree, and my significantly higher income, he is well ahead of me for retirement and we both are misers with our money. My college degree got me in the door, but my work ethic (thank you Army) moved me along nicely in income.
Eric,
Many of those successful people don’t earn a good living and succeed because the have a college degree, but IN SPITE of it.
Unless they get a degree in Engineering, Medical or Law or a field of that nature many college graduates end up having to work in something they didn’t learn fuck all about in college.
The bullshit about having to have a degree top be successful in life started being pounded into our heads in the 60s and 70s.
The “Education Industrial Complex” insists there are only two types of workers ditch-diggers and CEOs.
“-a- college education”?
No. Not where “a” means “any”.
Certain highly valuable college degrees? Certainly. Some of the decent schools that actually teach how to learn and use facts and logic? Probably.
But if one borrows the value of a decent house to get it, and pays it off over 30 years? Probably not.
If the cost of a degree in (mumble/fumble) from some non-reality diploma shack is $200k, and takes 30 years to pay off, that has to come -out- of the “lifetime earnings” column.
Those lifetime earnings curves are -very- different if you 1) borrow nothing and 2) start the savings early and significantly.
Obviously those “greater lifetime earnings” proponents didn’t get their degree in accounting or economics or business.
There is a significant difference between gross revenue and net profit. Or total income and disposable income.
Um, no. It is a capital mistake to generalize about college degrees in general providing a higher-income job. Take a look at the news and the unprecedented number of college grads moving back in with the parents because they just can’t get a job.
That’s not to mention the fact that not all degrees are created equal. Or do you claim that a degree in 16th-century French literature or Queer Studies provides the same attraction to head hunters as a STEM or medical degree?
You might want to provide some cites to support your claims, including your over-broad statement that “Graduates of 4y college programs earn an average of 2.4 million in a career.”
Yeah, freedom of choice is soooo overated.
No academic credentials…..check
No experience in the field…check
No relevant peer reviewed research…check
Agrees with the approved viewpoint…check
First Ballot Harvard Professor!
This is really nothing new for Harvard…they’ve been bringing in people as speakers that have no credentials to talk for years.
That includes race baiters and criminals.
They soooo hipster.
So …… Is manning their first “Chick With A Dick” ?
I keep saying this, “There are no such thing as chicks with dicks, only Guys with Tits!”
I use that phraseology now when I teach.
Thanks for that MSG Eric. 🙂
My god, “they” let you teach our young impressionable warriors and you use that phrase!/sarc SJWs will be having their heads explode.
If it’s got a prick, IT AIN’T A CHICK!
He’ll be in good company with Cornel West and Henry Gates…two of the finest Harvard luminaries
Isn’t West over at Princeton?
Ivy League douchebags, in any event.
Think Henry Louis Gates jr is still hunkering down in that valuable Harvard African American studies dept (at least according to Harvard’s website) when he’s not attending his next beer summit with kkk cops..but he could have moved, and would be a fine addition to Princeton’s African American dept.
Send your kids to trade schools. Plumber, electricians and truck drivers can always find work, as can roofing contractors.
Aside from the hype, which will die away at some time, the media’s focus on this jackass is worthless. Any bets on how long it takes for the ‘charm’ to wear off?
I concur that they’ll use him up and throw him away just like they did with Cindy Sheehag.
Couldn’t agree more….
Trade schools are certainly a good option, but I’d also do cheetah flips and Tarzan yells if my kids were going to Harvard Med, Harvard Dental, Business or any number of their professional programs. If that was their passion.
The whole University isn’t batshit cray cray.
No argument there, IDC_SARC. Even USBerserkely has its NASA center and the science and business schools are the reasons most students are there in the first place.
Unfortunately, it’s the loud-mouthed, trouble-making wankers that get the most notice.
Every year every medical school in this country fills every seat…..that alone is a lot of talented young folks you never hear a word about from the MSM.
Kinda like every newly minted 12 year old that gets his/her first hunting license every year and acts responsibly.
Pity the poor snowflake students, who in a few years will take their shiny new and hugely expensive Harvard degrees into the Real World, and find no one is hiring those with a major in foreign film studies and a minor in interpretive dance, and credits in “LGBTQ identity in the military.”
Or not. Caveat Emptor.
Good bussiness for Harvard Med grads that become Psychiatrists….hmmm probably a good idea to start a Mortuary Science program too. 🙂
No they won’t.
That might happen to the student of no particular connections who graduates with a 2.5 gpa from Podunk State University but just having that Harvard sheepskin will be of significant benefit to anyone with the skills to use it.
Furthermore, given that the ivy league schools put them in a position to rub shoulders with the scions of the rich and powerful, if they have even half a brain they can get the “hookup” with their old college buddies and/or professors who will set them up for life.
Graduates of public universities working at Starbucks or punching a time clock at Wal Mart may be common but I doubt there are many Harvard, Yale or Columbia grads doing the same.
I concur. The best thing you can say about Harvard is that even if you don’t get a real education there, that is irrelevant. You’ll get the job that keeps you living comfortable for life.
Though they do push for more veterans to attend Harvard. But, Manning being given a visiting fellow job there would most likely hurt their veteran recruiting effort.
I’d like to know how this weenie w/ weenie got a teaching gig there without a college degree. Is notoriety now the only job requirement at what was formerly America’s most prestigious university?
It is NOT a teaching job. Just a week or two babbling in front of a class. There was an article buried in the inside pages of the KC STAR newspaper about THE KC mayor, Sly James,m getting a a one week trip for the same fellowship lecture gig.
Because he’s popular in the news, which equates to Harvard getting more money from alumni, fundraisers, grants, etc.
Media attention = money.
Perhaps, Martinjmper, but my comment ‘…no one is hiring those with a major in foreign film studies and a minor in interpretive dance, and credits in “LGBTQ identity in the military.”’ still stands.
One of the brilliant things that the left has done is set up safety nets for those who carry their water. It can run everywhere between a >$60M book deal to guaranteed employment regardless of qualifications, supported by political, commercial, and educational institutions.
Just wait ’til Bowe Bergdahl gets his fellowship to speak about his “identity” (whatever he picks after his case is over)…or the superiority of life with the Taliban to life in Terra Islamophobia. Or maybe one of the other Ivies will outbid Harvard for him.
Oh I doubt he’ll get one. He didn’t throw out the Transgender or even Gay Card. If he had, he’d definitely be pardoned prior to 21 January 2017.
He can still play all his cards after his sentence is finalized…to include the “Islamic convert victim of Islamophobia.” If the judge gives him too short a sentence…hell, the Ivies might give him an extra bonus because Mr. Trump mentioned him by name and doesn’t like him.
He can, but it won’t work on Trump like it worked on Obama….

is correct.
He is still a male in a dress with a dick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and always will be a traitor to boot
One thing about Manning. He’s still a cocksucker.
The sucking of cock used to be a bar to enlistment. Too bad it wasn’t still the rule when this waste of skin volunteered. I loved that article by one of his BCT classmates that showed what a pathetic POS he was from the get go.
I read the BCT classmate’s account as well and thought, they should have booted him then, before he had the chance to act out the drama he did.
Do either of you have the link to the article? Haven’t seen it posted.
It is listed in one of the articles posted by Jonn months ago about Manning and his commutation. Or it may have appeared in a comment. Use the search function on this site.
My experience in the Marine Corps doesn’t make me an automatic scholar on military history, military logistics, military tactics/strategy, geopolitics, or how to bake a great cake. How does being a mentally disturbed guy who thinks he’s a girl and sold classified information to a foreign power suddenly become someone qualified enough to teach at HAVAD?
One would think they’ve turned into YALE.
Break the law become a hero to a bunch of mentally ill nut cases
BHWHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
What next !!!!!!
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2013/04/04/the-gory-details-about-terrorist-teacher-kathy-boudin/
careful…no telling what’s next.
I see Associate Professor Bernardine Dohrn also gets a few mentions in that article…though she at least has a law degree.
IDC SARC, for a comprehensive list of 60s destroyers, please pick up “Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About the 60s” by Peter Collier and David Horowitz. Rogue’s Gallery of all the Biggies, including Kathy Boudin, Ayers, Dohrn, etc. Quite informative!
FFS accreditation my ass.
What gigantic scumfucks.
Is it a traitor? Yes. Is it a scumbag? Yes. Should it have been executed? Yes. Should it still be executed? Yes.
But on top of all that, it just isn’t that smart. Go read its tweets (if you can stomach severe idiocy and overuse of emojis). It actually believes rich people don’t pay taxes (note: it doesn’t simply believe they don’t pay their fair share, it believes they don’t pay them at all). Dude is a fucking imbecile who gobbles down every progressive talking point it hears without even checking it for basic common sense.
P.S. I don’t at all believe you can change your sex any more than you can change your race or other biological facts. But I’m a nice guy- for most trans people, I’ll abide your pronoun choice. But betray your country and you get “it”.
“…who gobbles down every progressive talking point it hears without even checking it for basic common sense.”
Now that would be a true waste of one’s time…
This is also exactly why he has 6 figures worth of donations in the bank to “take care” of himself with.
Best description I read of Harvard is that it’s a multi-billion dollar hedge fund that also operates a non-profit education facility as a minor side business.
I thought you had to actually know something before you were allowed to teach…
From the Washington Free Beacon:
“Former acting CIA Director Michael Morell resigned his non-resident Senior Fellow position at Harvard on Thursday in protest of convicted military leaker Chelsea Manning joining the Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics.”
http://freebeacon.com/national-security/cia-director-resigns-position-harvard-chelsea-manning-senior-fellow/
At least someone is showing some class.
Not so much. Read the full content of his letter, where he says the shemale felon has a “right” to serve in our military as a trannie.
Anyone thinking Morell is strong on wisdom or integrity should do some research on him, including reading his Aug.16, 2016 editorial at the New York Slimes endorsing the Hildabeast and pushing the Russia, Russia narrative.
An uneducated clown will be teaching fools?
Sounds about right to me.
Manning the scholar is like calling Bernasty a lawyer.
😂 😜 😅 🤣 😁 🎉 👍👍👍👍
Off subject but is anybody here suffering from PTSD – Pelosi Trump Schumer Disorder
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
From the Harvard announcement;
Harvard has become a socialist anti-American Shithole.
Every bit as much as UC Berzerkely.
This -fuck- (he, she, or it) is allowed to -profit- from being a traitor. Something is so wrong.
Harvard has rescinded the invitation.

Anyone want to bet outraged alumni threatening to withhold donations had a lot to do with Harvard’s sea-change?
GEE WHIZ, could be!
Should terminate the employment of the idiot who thought of the fellowship for the traitor BRADLEY MANNING…
AND FIRED!
thank you Harvard..
I guess Klaus Fuchs and Julius & Ethel Rosenberg would be speaking there too if they lived in this day and age?
Aside from being a convicted felony & traitor, what does TSFKABM have in the way of credentials? Aside a wrap sheet and no penis, what qualifications does this clown have? Network Security Expert my ass…dude was busted cold.
Has he had his tinydickectomy yet?
