The Western world considers itself a bastion of free thought – a marketplace of ideas. But some scholars who questioned prevailing liberal groupthink have quickly discovered that academic inquiry has tightly-controlled limits.
There are more Democrat than Republican supporters among scientists of almost every academic field in the US, voter registration studies have shown. In fields such as social studies and sociology, conservatives can be outnumbered a dozen or more to one. With such an overwhelming advantage in numbers, one might think that dissenting viewpoints in these fields would not pose a meaningful threat to prevailing orthodoxies. Unfortunately, a number of high-profile cases reveal that scholars and thinkers – some who do not even identify as conservative – risk their careers when they challenge the liberal majority.

Another of the Tawba Jail survivors spoke to me in Adra Al Balad. Kidnapped on December 14, 2013, Yasser Ali Al-Hweish was held for one year inside Al Batoun where he was interrogated and tortured on a daily basis before being transferred to Tawba Jail.
Al-Hweish told me that the prisoners were regularly used to stage alleged attacks by the SAA. The White Helmets would bring them outside and make them act out an attack, they would be filmed and then taken back inside the prison.
Hweish also claimed they would be taken out and told to rescue dead bodies from under the rubble, the White Helmets would film them and then film themselves taking credit for the rescue.
He said: “For example if someone was dead under the rubble, we would dig and take him out, and after we finish, they (White Helmets) would film themselves as if it was them who have done the work, but in the end, we were doing it, not them.”
Al-Hweish believes that the White Helmets were “subordinate” to JAI and were responsible for the PR and media campaigns to secure further financial support for the terrorist group. This claim is made more plausible by the fact that the UK Foreign Office was reported to be funding the PR for JAI via an international communications consultancy called Incostrat.
The UK FCO and intelligence agencies were also involved in the creation of the White Helmets in 2013 and their continued funding via the same Conflict Stability and Security Fund that siphoned money to Incostrat. Therefore it is no great leap of logic to make the connection between the UK FCO, the White Helmets and the PR campaign for JAI to whitewash their murderous, extremist reputation in Syria.
It is worth noting that these testimonies were not isolated. I interviewed many civilians from Eastern Ghouta after liberation both in Ghouta and outside in the camps for the internally displaced in the Damascus suburbs. Most of them echoed much of what Hweish and Al-Othman told me regarding the White Helmets and their collaboration with the armed extremist groups.

Ex-psychiatrist to Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza charged with sexual assault of former patient
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS |
Apr 22, 2016
A former psychiatrist who treated Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza has been charged with sexual assault for carrying on an illicit relationship with a former patient, authorities said Friday.
Paul Fox, 63, was arrested in Maine Wednesday and returned to Connecticut Friday.
Fox's relationship with the female patient was initially uncovered by Connecticut state police detectives investigating Lanza's history in the aftermath of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
The woman, who was 18 or 19 at the time, initially refused to come forward to the police. But she changed her mind and filed a criminal complaint two years later, said a Brookfield, Conn. police spokesman.
Fox, who treated Lanza when he was a teenager, surrendered his Connecticut medical license in 2012 after the relationship was uncovered.
The patient, in a nine-page sworn statement, said she had sex with Fox "in his office" and spent time on his sailboat, according to state health records obtained by the Hartford Courant.
The patient said the relationship lasted for more than one year.
The woman also reported that one of Fox's other patients told her that she was "having phone sex with the same doctor," according to regulatory records.
Fox was living in New Zealand when the 20-year-old Lanza murdered 20 children and six school staffers.
In a December 2012 phone interview, Fox told detectives that he had destroyed any records related to Lanza and had last treated him when the boy was about 15.
Fox said the troubled teen was "very rigid … resistant to engagement" and recalled that he had "aggression problems," police reported.
