In Plagiarists, Liars and Thieves We Trust

By Cliff Kincaid

The Harvard president is under fire for plagiarism. Daily news brings us more examples of her plagiarism. But our president is a serial plagiarist, and so was Martin Luther King Jr., for whom there is a national holiday.

Harvard was founded by a Puritan minister and dedicated to Christ and His Church. Its purpose was to educate a learned ministry. The 8th commandment is “Thou shalt not steal.”

Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) has sent a letter to Harvard “demanding more information about the university’s handling of plagiarism allegations against President Claudine Gay and the unequal application of Harvard’s Honor Code.”

The problem goes much deeper than that.

As documented in our book, Marxist Madrassas, Dr. Tina Trent notes that Marxist Haywood Burns, a Harvard honors graduate and Yale-educated lawyer “was an early and influential proponent of Critical Race Theory, which asserts that the American legal system is essentially an instrument for perpetuating white supremacy and black oppression.”

What is more, Harvard Law Professor and Barack Hussein Obama mentor Derrick Bell revered Haywood Burns as his own intellectual mentor, as did another of Obama’s important academic mentors, Charles  Ogletree.  

Both Barack and Michelle Obama graduated from Harvard.

But now that it has been decided by some in the media and Congress that Claudine Gay has got to go, what about Biden and King? Should the King holiday be repealed? Should Biden be removed from office because he is a plagiarist?

I would argue that plagiarism clearly fits into the category of high crimes and misdemeanors, used in Biden’s case to seize power in 2020 under fraudulent circumstances.

King, the famed civil rights leader, was a plagiarist who stole material from other people and claimed it as his own. In fact, he was a serial plagiarist.

In the past, however, when the scandal got too big to ignore, major media eventually did admit the truth.

Writing in the Washington Post, David Garrow wrote about the King case, noting, “There is no getting around the fact that the scale of King's unattributed borrowings -- almost word-for-word copying of sentences and whole paragraphs without benefit of quotation marks on scores of occasions, often without minimal footnoting -- is extensive and substantial. In particular, King’s heavy reliance on an unpublished dissertation completed three years earlier by Boston University doctoral candidate Jack Boozer is especially egregious.”

We are now supposed to forget all of this. King is dead but  Biden is president, making it relevant. Biden was picked as Barack Hussein Obama’s running mate in 2008, after Biden had already been drummed out of the 1988 presidential race for plagiarism.

At the time, New York Times reporters Adam Nagourney and Jeff Zeleny reported that Biden “quit the 1988 presidential race in the face of accusations that he had plagiarized part of a speech from Neil Kinnock, the British Labor Party leader at the time…”

His plagiarism was blamed on his brain aneurysms. But that didn’t stop him from becoming Obama’s vice-president and then running for president again.

I covered Biden’s career over the years, which included several incidents of plagiarism going back to his college days. These include a serious plagiarism incident involving Biden during his law school years, reports of exaggerations of his academic record, and the discovery that he had stolen quotations from other politicians, including Bobby Kennedy, in other speeches.

The Biden plagiarism cases have been well-documented. Still, he was picked as Obama’s vice president and is president. Who is calling the shots?  

Biden’ pick reflects the judgment of others that he can recite whatever is put in front of him. That is someone worth using for other purposes. Hence, he is a puppet.  That means that he is not the real president. He is a fraud in more ways than one.

On a practical level, however, how can parents and teachers tell students that they are not supposed to cheat in their studies when somebody guilty of plagiarism is the President of the United States?

What are they supposed to tell students about King’s plagiarism?

President Barack Hussein Obama presided over the official unveiling of the King memorial in Washington, D.C. on October 16, 2011. Taxpayer funds, to the tune of $10 million, and four acres of federal land, were donated for a 30-foot tall socialist-type statue of King made in communist China by a Chinese artist with Chinese granite.

It has been called “Martin Luther Mao,” for its similarity to grandiose Mao monuments made by the same artist in China.

In my two-part series, “Exhibits You Won’t Find in the National Museum of African American History and Culture,” I also examine King’s womanizing and communist advisers. These are also taboo topics.

I cover these issues in more detail in my column, “The Secret Life of Martin Luther King, Jr.”

My conclusion: “One can understand the Democratic Party honoring King. But why are conservatives and Republicans doing so? And why have taxpayers and citizens been forced to pay homage to him?”

Republicans defended King because they don’t want to be branded as racists. So they perpetuate a myth about a thief and womanizer with communist connections that went straight to Moscow.
