### Washington and Lee University, Black Lives Matter Name Analysis

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1275-hypocrite-oath/chapter/washington-and-lee-university-black-lives-matter-name-analysis.md

A discussion regarding the naming of institutions like Washington and Lee University suggests that historical figures are being systematically removed from public spaces. An analysis of the phrase "Black Lives Matter" posits that the word "lives" may be used in a denigrating sense, referring to biological organisms rather than individual people. There is speculation that the state of Washington could eventually face pressure to change its name.

George Washington University professor Jessica Krug admitted to falsely claiming a Black identity for years while she is actually white and Jewish. The university has announced that Krug will not be teaching this semester and is offering counseling services to students "hurting" from the revelation. This case follows a pattern of "racial Dolezal" incidents where academics fabricate their backgrounds to advance in diversity-focused fields.

A 2017 recording from George Washington University features Dr. Anthony Fauci predicting that the next administration would face a "surprise outbreak" of infectious disease. Fauci cites his 32-year history as the director of NIAID as the basis for his certainty that every administration faces such challenges. The phrasing is scrutinized for its seemingly prophetic nature regarding the current global health crisis.

Donald Trump's dispute over the revised death toll of 2,975 from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico is analyzed. The hosts examine the discrepancy between the initial 64 confirmed deaths and the George Washington University study commissioned by the Puerto Rican government. They argue the higher number is a statistical estimate of "excess deaths" rather than direct casualties, suggesting the figures are being used politically.

Adam Curry plays a clip from the NPR program *On the Media* featuring Mark Lynch from George Washington University. The clip discusses the linguistic battle over whether to call the militant group ISIS, ISIL, or IS. The hosts suggest that George Washington University is a front for intelligence agencies and that the media's refusal to use the President's preferred term (ISIL) shows a power struggle.
