June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

8. Scrooge’s early scene (stave 1)
Mocking/sarcastic
“Merry Christmas! What right have you to be merry? What
reason have you to be merry? You’re poor enough.” (pg.3 par.3)
“If they would rather die,” said Scrooge, “they had better do it,
and decrease the surplus population.” (pg.6 par.1)
Frantic
“Nobody under the table , nobody under the sofa; a small fire in
the grate; spoon and basin ready and the little saucepan of gruel
(Scrooge had a cold in his head)upon the hob. …” (pg. 8 par. 8)
“Quite satisfied, he closed his door, and locked himself in;
double-locked himself in, which was not his custom. Thus
secured against surprise, he took off his cravat; put on his
dressing-gown and slippers, and his nightcap; and sat down
before the fire to take his gruel. It was a very low fire indeed;
nothing on such a bitter night. He was obliged to sit close to it...”
(pg.8 par.9)
9. Encounter with the three spirits (stave 2-4)
• The Ghost of Christmas Past (stave 2)
Sorrowful and reminiscent
“The school is not quite deserted,” said the
Ghost. “A solitary child, neglected by his
friends, is left there still.” Scrooge said he knew
it. And he sobbed. (pg. 18)
They walked along the road, Scrooge
recognising every gate, and post, and tree; until
a little market-town appeared in the distance,
with its bridge, its church, and winding river.
Some shaggy ponies now were seen trotting
towards them with boys upon their backs, who
called to other boys in country gigs and carts,
driven by farmers.
10. • The Ghost of Christmas Present (stave 3)
jolly and happy
“The walls and ceiling were so hung with
living greens, that it looked a perfect
grove; from every part of which, bright
gleaming berries glistened. The crisp leaves of
holly, mistletoe, and ivy refelcted back the
light, as if so many little mirrors had been
scattered there; and such a mighty blaze went
roaring up the chimney, as that dull
petrification of a hearth had never known in
Scrooge’s time...” (pg.28)
“For, the people who were shovelling away on
the housetops were jovial and full of glee;
calling out to one another from the parapets,
and now and then exchanging a facetious
snowball...” (pg. 30)
11. • The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (stave 4)
ominous; foreshadowing future, morose, dark
“Quiet and dark, beside him stood the
Phantom, with its outstretched hand. When he
roused himself from his thoughtful quest, he
fancied from the turn of the hand, and its
situation in reference to himself, that the Unseen
Eyes were looking at him keenly. It made him
shudder, and feel very cold.” (pg.45)
“Scrooge crept towards it, trembling as he went;
and following the finger, read upon the stone of
the neglected grave his own name, Ebenezer
Scrooge. ‘Am I that man who lay upon the bed.’
he cried, upon his knees. The finger pointed from
the grave to him, and back again.” (pg. 53-54)
12. THE END OF IT (STAVE 5)
• Happy
“He dressed himself all in his best, and at last got out into the streets. The
people were by this time pouring forth, as he had seen them with the Ghost
of Christmas Present; and walking with his hands behind him, Scrooge
regarded every one with a delighted smile. He looked so irresistibly pleas-
ant, in a word, that three or four good-humoured fellows said,’ Good morning,
sir. A merry Christmas to you.’
• blissful
“He went to church, and walked about the streets, and watched the people
hurrying to and fro, and patted children on the head, and questioned
beggars, and looked down into the kitchens of houses, and up to the
windows, and found that everything could yield him pleasure. He had never
dreamed that any walk — that anything — could give him so much
happiness.”
13. Other characters’ scene
• The Cratchit’s: joyful and grateful
Oh, a wonderful pudding! Bob Cratchit said, and calmly
too, that he regarded it as the greatest success achieved by
Mrs. Cratchit since their marriage. […] The compound in the
jug being tasted, and considered perfect, apples and oranges
were put upon the table, and a shovel-full of chestnuts on the
fire. Then all the Cratchit family drew round the hearth, in
what Bob Cratchit called a circle […] the chestnuts on the fire
sputtered and cracked noisily. Then Bob proposed:
"A Merry Christmas to us all, my dears. God bless us!"
Which all the family re-echoed.
"God bless us every one!" said Tiny Tim, the last of all.
(pg.34-35)
14. • Fred’s and other relatives: mocking/cynical
“His wealth is of no use to him. He don’t do any good
with it. He don’t make himself comfortable with it. He hasn’t
the satisfaction of thinking –ha, ha, ha!—that he is ever going
to benefit us with it.” (pg.38)
“Do go on, Fred,” said Scrooge’s niece, clapping her
hands. “He never finishes what he begins to say. He is such a
ridiculous fellow.” (pg.39)
“A Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to the old
man, whatever he is,” said Scrooge’s nephew. “He wouldn’t
take it from me, but may he have it, nevertheless. Uncle
Scrooge.” (pg.41)
