Former CIA Director Resigns Position at Harvard After Chelsea Manning Becomes Senior Fellow

BY: David Rutz September 14, 2017 1:22 pm

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.

"I am writing to inform you that I am resigning, effective immediately, as a non-resident Senior Fellow at the Belfer Center," he wrote in a letter to Dean Douglas Elmendorf. "I do so with sadness because I have enjoyed immensely my time at Belfer."

"Unfortunately, I cannot be part of an organization—The Kennedy School—that honors a convicted felon and leaker of classified information," Morell wrote, going on to write that Manning was found guilty of "17 serious crimes, including six counts of espionage" with her leaks to WikiLeaks.

Harvard this week announced Manning as its "first transgender Fellow" for the 2017-18 academic year and described her as a "Washington D.C.-based network security expert and former U.S. Army intelligence analyst." It also referred to her as a whistleblower.

Manning, formerly PFC Bradley Manning before transitioning into being female, served seven years in prison for one of the largest leaks in military history. Manning twice attempted suicide and did her gender transition during her imprisonment.

Wait, isn’t Chelsea being micro-aggressed by being called a “fellow”?

Mike Morell is a scum-sucking slut who is probably lower than that crazy tranny.

He is a mandible clicking, antenna waving swamp parasite.

harvard doesn’t give a rat’s a**. Their endowment is 35+ billion dollars. This should be seized and distributed to the less fortunate...it would only be fair.

Harvard is a joke today. It is simply a rubber stamp for the right people to move forward, but as a serious university, it’s basically over.

"Washington D.C.-based network security expert and former U.S. Army intelligence analyst"

Chelsea was a freakin' PFC in the Army for crying out loud. Exactly what extensive experience would hes'h have other than being a leaker? This is a pure political move like giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize.

The following report from an earlier time and another questionable set of circumstances is relevant to this thread.

Harvard University’s Founding Vision and Mission — A Timely Reminder

The tumult at Harvard University that culminated in the resignation of the university’s president Lawrence H. Summers yesterday, provides a good opportunity to be reminded of that university’s founding vision and mission — and for a reflection on how far it has strayed from that vision.

Here is the text of Harvard’s founding statement, known most commonly as “New England’s First Fruits,” (1640):

AFTER GOD HAD carried us safe to New England, and we had built our houses, provided necessaries for our livelihood, reared convenient places for God’s worship, and led the civil government, one of the next things we longed for and looked after was to advance learning and perpetuate it to posterity; dreading to leave an illiterate ministry to the churches, when our present ministers shall lie in the dust. And as we were thinking and consulting how to effect this great work, it pleased God to stir up the heart of one Mr. Harvard (a godly gentleman and a lover of learning, there living among us) to give the one-half of his estate (it being in all about £700) toward the founding of a college, and all his library. After him, another gave £300; others after them cast in more; and the public hand of the state added the rest.

The college was, by common consent, appointed to be at Cambridge (a place very pleasant and accommodate) and is called (according to the name of the first founder) Harvard College. The edifice is very fair and comely within and without, having in it a spacious hall where they daily meet at commons, lectures, and exercises; and a large library with some books to it, the gifts of diverse of our friends, their chambers and studies also fitted for and possessed by the students, and all other rooms of office necessary and convenient with all needful offices thereto belonging. And by the side of the college, a fair grammar school, for the training up of young scholars and fitting of them for academical learning, that still as they are judged ripe they may be received into the college of this school. Master Corlet is the master who has very well approved himself for his abilities, dexterity, and painfulness in teaching and education of the youths under him.

Over the college is Master Dunster placed as president, a learned, a conscionable, and industrious man, who has so trained up his pupils in the tongues and arts, and so seasoned them with the principles of divinity and Christianity, that we have to our great comfort (and in truth) beyond our hopes, beheld their progress in learning and godliness also. The former of these has appeared in their public declamations in Latin and Greek, and disputations logic and philosophy which they have been wonted (besides their ordinary exercises in the college hall) in the audience of the magistrates, ministers, and other scholars for the probation of their growth in learning, upon set days, constantly once every month to make and uphold. The latter has been manifested in sundry of them by the savory things of their spirits in their godly versation; insomuch that we are confident, if these early blossoms may be cherished and warmed with the influence of the friends of learning and lovers of this pious work, they will, by the help of God, come to happy maturity in a short time.Over the college are twelve overseers chosen by the General Court, six of them are of the magistrates, the other six of the ministers, who are to promote the best good of it and (having a power of influence into all persons in it) are to see that everyone be diligent and proficient in his proper place.

Are any so blind that they cannot see that something is wrong?

Mentally ill man "Manning" should have been shot as a traitor. Of course Harvard bestows what they consider to be an "honor" on this nutcase.

Says a lot about what Harvard has now become.

That money should be "redistributed" to the people. As good socialists they should appreciate the need for themselves to live in poverty instead of abundance.

Only a disgusting coprophilic queer would be elevated to such a high rank, in a disgusting institution of “higher” education.

Cut off all donations to higher ed.

The only thing academia in America produces and supports are anti-American freaks who have no issues honoring convicted traitors and felons.

Looking sharp America!

Manning never seemed particularly intelligent to me.

Is there a Harvard Community College?
