by Jon Street The Federalist Society chapter at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School in Virginia hosted Nigel Farage Thursday, but the Brexit leader’s speech was disrupted by a heckler who was then escorted out of the room. Campus Reform obtained exclusive video footage of the disruption, which lasted about one minute. Farage joined the conservative law student group to share his “reflections on Brexit,” according to a Facebook post. In the video, the disruptive protester stands and holds up his laptop, but what exactly he said is unclear. “You’re grown up. Why don’t you listen and ask questions?” Farage tells the protester. The unidentified heckler then says “I will leave” as student Sean MacDonald approaches him. “I’m a larger guy, and as someone who’s pretty involved in FedSoc and in setting up the event I took it upon myself to escort the protester out of the room,” MacDonald told Campus Reform. “Once I walked up, he quickly grabbed his things, but continued to scream and shout the entire time I was escorting him out.” “It’s too bad he decided to conduct himself that way, he may have had the opportunity to ask a question at the end that challenged…

The term “oligarch” derives from the Ancient Greek oligarkhia, meaning “the rule of the few.” Such power structures allow a very small number of persons to control the vast mass of people. Regimes of that nature were not uncommon during feudal times in medieval Europe and in earlier primitive settings.
They more recently predominated during the Russian privatization of the 1990s, when “businessmen” quickly acquired huge wealth in post-Soviet states. Such kleptocracy led to considerable crime and instability in the East. The new superrich “czars” came to buy celebrity status on the Riviera, in Knightsbridge, and New York City. Their mega-yachts still clog harbors and their Maybachs, fancy five-star hotels and casinos, wherever they frequent.
