In a recent revelation, it has come to light that Democrat FTC Chairwoman Lina Khan has ties to a Marxist organization called the Law and Political Economy (LPE) Project. The LPE Project has actively supported the pro-Palestinian protesters involved in the encampment at Columbia University.
Khan, currently serving as the chairwoman for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), also holds the position of associate professor of law at Columbia University. Although she is currently on leave from the university, while serving in her present role, she has reportedly assisted Amy Kapczynski, a faculty co-director with the LPE Project and a professor at Yale University, in designing her first LPE seminar.

The goals of the LPE movement were outlined by Kapczynski in the Yale Law Report journal from the summer of 2023. According to her, the LPE aims to develop new intellectual theories and proposals that promote equality and democracy. The movement has gained significant recognition, with peer-reviewed publications and conferences dedicated to LPE ideas. Notably, Lina Khan, who leads the Federal Trade Commission and was part of the student group at Yale that helped design the first LPE seminar, has emerged as a prominent LPE scholar.
It is important to note that Kapczynski has openly acknowledged her admiration for various critical theories, including those from the Frankfurt School, queer theory, post-colonial theory, psychoanalytic theory, and Marxist feminist thought. The Frankfurt School, known for its application of Marxism to society and philosophy, is a key influence on critical theory.
Everyone is talking about the student protests. But *stunning* how little we've heard from student organizers themselves. We asked some to explain their aims and concerns. If you read one thing about the protests today, read this: https://t.co/onwo5G30Fa pic.twitter.com/6hgvSRItYE

The initial anti-Israel encampment at Columbia University, which commenced on April 17, resulted in the suspension of several students and the subsequent arrest of hundreds of protesters. While the university took steps to remove the encampment, another one was established shortly afterward, leading to the New York Police Department (NYPD) conducting a raid to regain control of Hamilton Hall, an academic building on campus.

In the aftermath, similar anti-Israel protests and encampments have sprung up on other college and university campuses in support of the one at Columbia University.
Kapczynski shared a post from the LPE Project in which law students from various universities, including Yale and NYU, expressed their thoughts on the anti-Israel protests and encampments. Corrine Blalock, the Executive Director of the LPE Project, also lauded the involvement of students from Columbia University, CUNY, Yale, and NYU in the encampments.
This is not the first instance of Khan’s association with the LPE Project. In July 2022, Khan and FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter participated in an event hosted by the LPE Project, discussing “anti-racist antitrust” and the FTC’s role in shaping markets and economic outcomes.
Most recently, during an event organized by the LPE Project, Khan expressed her admiration for Kapczynski’s leadership in the LPE movement, highlighting her profound influence and inspiration on her own journey.
These connections and associations have raised concerns in some circles about Khan’s ideological leanings and the potential impacts on her decisions as the FTC chairwoman. Critics argue that her alignment with the LPE Project, which supports pro-Palestinian protesters and subscribes to Marxist-influenced theories, could introduce bias into her role as the chief regulator of U.S. markets.
As the debate unfolds, it remains to be seen how Khan’s connections to the LPE Project will impact her approach to regulatory matters and the fairness of her decision-making process within the FTC.

with the clock ticking down, they realize that this is the time to go “All In” and take the steps to bring America to it’s knees.
Complete distruction is their aim.
I thought that it is supposed to be Russia and China that are taking steps to destroy the USA?
Pakistani Muslim, more infiltration.
Obama’s agenda to dismantle and destroy our country is on steroids after Trump’s hiatus.We do not have a government of Americans ,but led by a an old seniled crook and filled by America haters,Communists and Anti-Semites all hate America but insists to live here.
I wld not worry about “anti-semites”, I wld worry about the dual citizenship (isreal/U.S.) That are our elected officials and the ones like Josh Hawley taking almost 100,000.00 from Jewish lobbyists. No matter what your feelings are on jews, our elected officials should be doing the will of the AMERICAN PEOPLE, NOT A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT!
Marxist-Trotsky (Lev Bronstein) communists from the Jewish Marxist Trotskyite Soviet Union established the communist Zionist State of Israel in 1948 as a mirror image of the Soviet Union.
People seem surprised that anti-American communists are everywhere
in the Democrat Party, especially in the 3rd Obama administration.
It’s the least surprising thing in my lifetime.
Stolen elections have national suicide consequences.
They love the Marxists when they created Israel, when they subverted the Russians and tried the same in Germany and Austria… Now that they have their nation with it’s feeding tubes in western nations they want to be National socialist.
Butter face!
Whether it is Iran, China or Hamas or terrorists within the USA it always turns out the Biden administration is funding and enabling our enemies.
BLM, Antifa, and the Gaza riots have all been funded by Soros and the agents of the WEF embedded in our government… All for the express purpose of terrorizing America…
If I were Trader Joe’s the food retailer I would be quite upset with this headline that can be confusing on first read.
Russia, China, Joe Biden, no difference…!
