"Weapons of Mass Deception"?

I've seen a bunch of sensationalist posters announcing an event called "WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception". Seemed a bit odd, so I thought I should put it up here, as I'm not completely sure about this guy's politics. Here's the details:

NewU: Changes to ASUCI Funding Process

This is a relatively slow-news week. Other than Reut R. Cohen's article on a Jewish writer and former Argentinian Secretary of Culture, the issue of ASUCI funding appeared to be the only other issue that I felt I should bring to your - my fellow readers - attention.

The interesting thing that I wasn't aware about was that the Cross Cultural Center - site of much of the anti-Semitic speech-making on campus - had up until recently a lot of access to ASUCI during the funding process.
