Columbia University has fallen
I may be grossly wrong here, but I think I may have found a reason for both the protests, and for the mainstream media's attention on them:
America is being pushed out of Africa and replaced by Russia. Don't believe me... Well believe this:
Russians sent to Niger airbase occupied by US troops (bbc.com)
Quote: The move comes after Niger's military rulers ordered the US to withdraw troops who had been countering Islamic insurgents in the region.
 
Russian forces were present at the base in Niger's capital Niamey, but were not mingling with American troops, US officials told the Reuters news agency.
Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said the Russians posed no "risk" to US forces.
 
"The Russians are in a separate compound and don't have access to US forces or access to our equipment," Mr Austin told journalists in Honolulu, Hawaii.
"I'm always focused on the safety and protection of our troops... But right now, I don't see a significant issue here in terms of our force protection," the defence secretary added.

Niger is in Africa's Sahel region, which is considered the new global epicentre of the Islamic State group.

The US has relied on the country as its primary base for monitoring regional jihadist activity, but its relations with the country's ruling military regime have deteriorated since it condemned last year's coup.

In turn, Niger has turned to Russia for assistance fighting Islamist insurgents in the south of the country.

The Russians deployed to Airbase 101 at Niger's international airport in Niamey are said to be military trainers.

They are said to be occupying a wing close to a contingent of US troops.

According to Reuters, earlier this year officials in Niger told the US that about 60 Russian troops would be deployed to the country. It is unclear how accurate that figure is today.

It is also unclear how many American troops remain at Airbase 101.

Most of the US troops in Niger are said to be at a drone base in the central city of Agadez, some 750km (460 miles) north-east of Niamey.
Relations between the US and Russia have been deteriorating sharply since President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, with the US leading Western efforts to supply weapons to the Ukrainians.

But Paul Melly, West Africa analyst at the Chatham House think tank, says he sees no prospect of confrontation between the US and Russian troops.
Mr Melly told the BBC the Americans had tried hard to remain in Niger, but that the country's military leadership had rebuffed their attempts to link their security assistance to a timetable to return to civilian rule.

"For the junta, the attraction of the Russians is that they make no demands about governance and democratic rules," Mr Melly said.
And to make this worse for the US, we all know how upfront and truthful Austin is, but it's not just Niger.
Concerns mount as Russian troops take over US base in Niger (rfi.fr)
Quote: 
The US and its allies have been forced to move troops out of a number of African countries following coups that brought to power groups eager to distance themselves from Western governments.
 
In addition to the impending departure from Niger, US troops have also left Chad in recent days, while French forces have been kicked out of Mali and Burkina Faso.

At the same time, Russia is seeking to strengthen relations with African nations, pitching Moscow as a friendly country with no colonial baggage in the continent.

This idea of Russia's about not interfering with how the local governments handle their own countries seems to be buying a lot of hope for these African Countries in taking control of their own futures (though the ends of that have yet to be seen) One story I had read was eluding to the weird fact that where ever US forces are/were groups like ISIS have been operating, and this is also creating the appearance of a Trotskyist style of control being asserted by the US. Basically, what is being touted as "Russian Dis/Mal Information" (and that term "Mal Information" concerns me since it was made up by the Biden Administration) is the facts that in US populated areas of Africa, these terrorist groups are running amok, except in cities where the US actually occupies. Giving the appearance of that Trotskyist tactic of "You are with us, or you suffer in chaos". 

I'm not sure if this is a real tactic being used by the current US political establishment, or if it really is just coincidence of fact, but either way it doesn't bode well for US interests around the world where this is taking place.

Oddly, and this takes us back to these college campus protests and occupations, is that the more the US loses in Africa to the Russians, the more we are seeing these protests and occupations on the news. We already know about how the Soros Family uses internation commerce to disable other countries economies. 
If you can find it, this is outlined in a segment in "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" episode on Kenya (S12: E1). In that episode there is a bit about how free donated clothing is used by "companies" to prevent Kenya from using it's textile industry. Soros has been known for supporting these big international shipping firms in the past (and most likely still does today), and it's that multi-prong model that Soros was known for that is being used to keep Kenya suppressed. It's also been reported on and exposed how Soros is supporting these College protest and occupations. 

So, here's the scam I'm picturing, and this is just my take, Soros is losing money hand over fist in Africa by the Russians removing US control of areas. By hiding this from the public, I bet Soros (either George or Alex) is going to sell off the interest in African nations before it's exposed that his scam there is up. 

Now I know some of you will say, "that's just stupid talk", but remember George Soros tanked the British Economy as well as a few other nations just to make a few bucks. Then he funneled those profits into groups and organizations that undermine democratic and republic styled governments around the world. This was one of the major reasons why Putin had so aggressively went after Soros backed groups in Russia a few years back (no, I'm not saying that Russia is right all the time, but just like how Stalin kicked out the Trotskyists for being corrosive to the people of the Soviet, Putin did the same to Soros). 

My opinion is that these college protests and occupations are a major distraction and not... NOT the main story we should be focusing on.

oh, and just as a bit of a follow up to my last post. This is a neat little video on protests at Columbia University over the years. There is a difference with this one we see today, but the actions really are not that different.
