Harvard Facing Accusations of Promoting Eco-Terrorism for Screening ‘How to Blow Up a Pipeline’ Film
“The consensus amongst law enforcement and the private oil sector is that this film may motivate attacks or disruptions on critical infrastructure throughout the country”
I’m betting there won’t be any protests over the screening of this film.
The Daily Wire reports:
Harvard Accused Of Promoting Eco-Terrorism For Plans To Screen ‘How To Blow Up A Pipeline’ Film
Harvard Law School is under fire for plans to host a movie screening of ‘How To Blow Up A Pipeline,’ a film that the FBI says promotes eco-terrorism.
The film, directed by Harvard alumni Daniel Goldhaber, will be aired by the law school’s film society. It grows ideas from Andreas Malm’s book with the same name, and tells the story of a group of young people blowing up a pipeline as an activism tactic. The film’s website includes a “Take Action” page on its website with a map of U.S. oil and gas pipelines.
Harvard is going beyond simply hosting a screening. Harvard Law School professor Jon Hanson is moderating a Q&A with the film’s director during the event, and encourages attendance by all students “interested in environmental activism.” His website, the Systemic Justice Project, describes the film’s plot as “the story of a group of activists who execute a daring plan to (you guessed it) blow up a pipeline.”
The FBI issued a terrorist alert due to fears that the movie would inspire eco-terrorism, Rolling Stone reported in April. Another 23 law enforcement entities followed suit.
“The consensus amongst law enforcement and the private oil sector is that this film may motivate attacks or disruptions on critical infrastructure throughout the country,” the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, wrote in a March 21 bulletin, according to Rolling Stone.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), in a social media post reacting to The Daily Wire’s report on Harvard’s screening, said the Ivy League university is “promoting domestic eco-terrorism.”
Harvard promoting domestic eco-terrorism.
If a Republican were teaching how to blow up an abortion center they would (rightly) be in jail.
Of course, the Biden DOJ will do…nothing. https://t.co/1bB8fpbuzn

The Harvard of today has totally destroyed the credibility and reputation that “Harvard” once had.
Somebody needs to get the FBI Facebook Task Force on this right away! The best part is it when you get to the right address, you know there’ll always be someone home.
Harvard can and should say whatever they want. It’s actually better for them to publicly express their insanity, so that the rest of us can keep an eye on them, and the criminal lunatics they pander to nowadays.
Grounds for shutting down the entire university
So a school can’t have a “No alien conspiracy theorist” policy but a college can’t determine “our students are adults they could watch whatever they want”?
It is as if there are different standards on this topic.
Harvard students are not children, if they aren’t already criminals they won’t become criminals by watching a movie.
