Busting the AIC

Jim Pinkerton has posted an interesting column on "Tech Central Station" concerning the ongoing Republican battle with what he calls the "Arts-Intellectual Complex," (AIC), a clever update, we think, of Ike's broadside against the military-industrial complex many years ago. The column is a little diffuse, but contains some good stuff which is really at the core of why our still-evolving blog, HazZzMat was founded. Pinkerton bobs and weaves around the notions of memorials and their symbolism, eventually highlighting the recent victory won by patriotic 9/11 victim families against the blasphemous, Amerikkka-hating "museum" that leftists were planning to sneak onto the old WTC site.

Pinkerton only strikes a glancing blow at a core issue involved in the corruption of the media and the arts by the hard left--the clever way in which it acquires taxpayer funding to erode American traditions and culture--but he does readily identify the way it uses politics and regulations to cover its tracks:

Over all this time, the AIC was not only dominating the media, it was dominating the process. Heck, it was the process -- all those boards, commissions, and panels, most of them operating out of sight to the public, visible only to activists and lawyers.

Yup, The Process controlled everything. It was The Process that enabled the Maya Lins and the Piss Christers to do their thing and get their funding, because each individual cog in the funding machine could thus evade personal responsibility for the end result, if need be. "Hey," each cog could declare when cornered, "don't blame me -- blame the process!"

Taxpayer funding and endless "process"--two ways in which the hard, Gramscian left in this country works hand-in-hand to undermine America's way of life and undercut our status in the world. The exposure of the taxpayer-funded literary and artistic community in the United States will be one of HazZzmat's main themes, so tune us in from time to time as we describe what's been going on, ranging from NEA to CPB, from the Lawyers Guild to the ACLU, from art galleries to the corrupt university system. American taxpayers are paying billions of dollars a year to leftists dedicated to destroying the culture, undermining US world status, and indoctrinating our kids in universities that should be the great centers of learning that tuition-paying parents imagine them to be.

Stay tuned. Lots of "hazardous material" to come.
