Yup, I got a notion earlier today and with a few search terms and additional clicks….low and behold it seems it all began in 2013 and White House personnel and Joe Biden and Valerie Jarrett is at the core. The activists are invited to the White House to systematically launch protests at college campuses…..it is working.

- Remember that fake 9000 word fake rape story at the University of Virginia posted in Rolling Stone? White House Adviser Introduced Fake Rape Story’s Jackie to ‘Rolling Stone’ The story turned out to be a hoax; Jackie’s tale was fiction. Now, in court documents we learn that the author of the piece, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, learned about Jackie from Emily Renda, an adviser on the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault, who told the Jackie story in Senate testimony months before the Rolling Stone story, Renda was also a UVA employee.
- Then we have the Department of Education, which was headed by Arne Duncan and he recently stepped down. Catherine Lhamon, who heads the Department’s civil rights wing, was identified in a letter sent last month by University of Virginia Dean of Students Allen Groves to Steve Coll and Sheila Coronel, the two Columbia Journalism School deans who conducted a review of the Nov. 19 article, written by disgraced reporter Sabrina Rubin Erdely. Groves’ letter was included as a footnote to the Columbia deans’ report, which was released on Sunday and cataloged the failures and lies that led to the article’s publication.
- Then we have Joe Biden and one of his top aides, Lynn Rosenthal. WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden is losing his top adviser on violence against women, The Huffington Post has learned. Lynn Rosenthal, who has been a senior adviser to Biden since July 2009, will step down Friday. She is moving on to become the Vice President of External Affairs at the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and will remain in Washington, D.C.
Rosenthal has coordinated the White House’s efforts to reduce domestic violence homicides, address domestic violence in the workplace and raise awareness about the effects of violence on youth. She’s also served on the White House Council on Women and Girls.
Violence against women is one of Biden’s signature issues. As a senator, he wrote the 1994 Violence Against Women Act, and he was instrumental in ushering through the law’s reauthorization as vice president in 2013, when House Republicans unexpectedly held it up over its inclusion of new protections for Native American victims of abuse.
He regularly works to keep the issue in the spotlight. During remarks last month at the White House Tribal Nations Conference, he described domestic violence as an “epidemic” that “cuts to the very core of how we measure ourselves as a society.”
