Why Antioch College, Ohio, is definitely going down the tubes for good! Bad alumni!

Hi from Yazz Allen, Never Gives His Grad Year Date To Fight Ageism (complaints answered OFF LINE to YazzAllen@Yahoo.Com)!
Well, the game is over.
Yogi Berra of the NEW YORK YANKEES once said, accurately, that "the game isn't over til it's over"....but it seems to me, THIS game is over.
The AU BOT have won.
Smart, bad guys. Too bad for Antioch College and all who like it, including me.
This was a set up from long, long ago. It started when Larry Pearl, 55, a Yale Law School grad lawyer working for the USA Federal Government was ordered in 1974-5 to make Antioch College look bad.
His (Pearl's) boss at the time was USA President Gerald R. Ford, who in roughly 1973 made a speech from the floor of the USA House Of Representatives (Horace Mann was part of that...he was the successor USA Congressman from Massachusetts to John Quincy Adams, and well respected all over America during his 1848-52 terms in the USA Congress) which condemned Antioch College, Ohio in clear terms.
EVERYTHING was done by the USA government Nixon and his successor Ford ran to assassinate Antioch College. The FBI office in Cincinnati OH was detailed to engage COINTELPRO assassination activity against Antioch in the 1970's before and during Pearl's arrival as Antioch BOT Chairman, and did so.
Pearl worked for Ford. Pearl hired Ford's enemy, Antioch College President James Payson DIxon, Antioch '38, Harvard Med. School ''43, Antioch College and Network President from 1959 - 1975.
Ford wanted Dixon out. Pearl used his office and got rewards from Ford and his people to get rid of Dixon.
THAT was the start of the closedown of Antioch College we see completed by Pearl's fellow 1955 grad, Arthur Zucker, who became a millionaire in the electronics business after 10 years working as a travelling salesman for the Square D electrical parts company, then started to import electronics from foreign sources, and became a big time, very, very rich capitalist internationalist businessman of great wealth.
A "malefactor of great wealth," as Teddy Roosevelt would have said.
An "evil capitalist" as Karl Marx did say.
And Zucker bought the AU BOT chairmanship with his substantial money from ANOTHER 1950's big money Antioch grad, Robert Krinsky '57, who had become Chairman and main owner of the Segal Co. of ONE PARK AVE. NYC NY USA and himself "bought" the Antioch BOT chairmanship in the 1980's and 1990's.
The crisis meeting last at Antioch College last June 22-24, 2007 discussed and publicized NONE of this.
The perfidy of AU BOT leaders and those who came before starting with Larry Pearl '55 and his firing of Jim Dixon '38 in 1975 was NOT discussed or recognized as an issue.
The mire of corruption of Trustee leadership at Antioch College for more than 30 years went unchallenged and not at all publicized by Antioch Alumni who gathered at Antioch in June 2007.
Good friends of the AU BOT had gained leadership in organizations claiming to represent alumni.
Nobody talented or brave challenged the impudent meeting held in Kelly Hall, Antioch Hall, Antioch College, YSO on June 22, 07 between 9 AM and 12 Noon.
The video taping of that meeting offered by the Antioch Library AV crew for free (I have a copy of that and have screened it often) shows the closedown plans of the AU BOT was unchallenged and not skillfully opposed in ANY way!
The meeting was covered by major USA mass media, and no report of serious opposition by Antioch Alumni or their representatives was made....because....NO opposition of a serious or challenging or intelligent or skillful nature was offered.
Right!
Soooo,.................the AU BOT dragged the whole thing out, let the stream built up objecting to what they announced they would do...close down Antioch College after 155 years....drain off and die down. And THAT is what has happened.
The AU BOT waited it out. That was their plan, and it worked.
The Antioch Alumni screwed up.
NOBODY is reponsible for the closedown of Antioch College more than the sons and daughters of Antioch College.
If it were otherwise, the OBVIOUS case against the AU BOT and its key players and movers and shakers, the OBVIOUS history of malfeasance starting in 1975 with the very wrong and illegal but then unchallenged firing of President James Payson Dixon '38, and other obvious evidence in need of exposition and exposure...would have been brought forward.
And the bad guys...the AU BOT ...would have been vanquished. But...the game ended up being played by rules the AU BOT set up...played their way on their turf with no serious challenge to them.
They never lost power, and still have it.
Folks...this whole thing has been ALL about power! Take it away from the bad guys ASAP, and the good guys come back and win.
Didn't happen here.
Antioch is gone because of that.
