     The University of Texas student reporter for UT’s student paper,  Ali Breland,  wrote of UTIMCO’s investment in the dirty business of genocide in Darfur.   Breland called for the University of Texas Investment Management Company, UTIMCO, which oversees the school’s $20 billion investment fund to withdraw its investments in Sudan (Ali Breland, UT System should divest from companies supporting genocide in Sudan," The Daily Texan, March 20, 2014).

     On May 29^th, 2014, Admiral William McRaven, head of JSOC, or the Joint Special Operations Command, which oversaw the hunting down of Osama Bin Laden, right under the noses of the Pakistani intelligence forces addressed the University of Texas 2014 graduating class. Today, the Austin American Statesman claimed that Admiral McRaven is a leading contender for an appointment to the UTIMCO Board  and new Chancellor of the university(Mary Ann Roser, "Hopefuls Emerge in Search for UT Leader," The Austin American Statesman, July 12, 2014).

     Historian, Dr. Lowell P. Wigglesworth, whose work on the manipulation of history by some of America’s leading fellow historians questioned the pending appointment….”Brain death is not merely a medical description of the discontinuance of thought processes.  We clearly see this in the cheering  of the 2014 UT class following McRaven’s speech.    Had General Westmoreland addressed a graduating class in 1972 there would have been jaunts and shreaks.   Where was Ali Breland and her fellow students during McRaven's speech?" asked Wigglesworth.

   "Claims that the video of this spectacle went ‘viral’ are equally disconcerting and highly exaggerated.   It was ‘viral’ before it went ‘viral!’  Besides, define 'viral',” said Wigglesworth pointing to the Youtube videos of  several popular songs with over 200,000,000 viewings.

     “I have heard that Ali Breland and Jeremy Scahill are planning a new documentary titled 'Really Dirty Wars.'   I hope it is true,” said Wigglesworth.   "I am also concerned that Bin Laden's body was buried at sea not to avoid his martyrdom, but his true identification and that Jesse Ventura, himself a former SEAL, has raised concerns that Bin Laden may have actually died years before his reported death and that so many of the SEAL Team 6 solidiers have died since the reported Bin Laden killing," Wigglesworth continued.

     On June 14, 2014, Willie B. Trayis, covered the McRaven speech and made many of the same conclusions made by Wigglesworth.  "With 15 of the 19 September 11 hijackers coming from Saudi Arabia and we invade Iraq on a false premise and with McRaven's fellow UT graduate and ethics professor at West Point, Col. Theodore "Ted" Westhusing, dying after his confrontation with General David Petraeus who was struck at Fort Campbell by that stray bullet that Dr. and Senator William Frist plugged, anything is possible with respect to the continual bamboozling of the American people currently emanating from a state that has the "Bonnie Blue" flag of a previous Fascist Confederacy sown into one of its panels," said Wigglesworth.
