<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="248" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/i1AAuB5P-V0" width="440"></iframe><br />
<br />
Here is a superb new documentary from the crew that produced the award-winning: <a href="http://www.anoblelie.com/" target="_blank"><i><b>A Noble Lie</b></i></a>, the definitive documentary exposing the role of the FBI and intelligence agencies in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in 1995. In <a href="https://www.facebook.com/stateofmindmovie" target="_blank"><i><b>State of Mind-The Psychology of Control </b></i></a>the filmmakers explore the tools and techniques the oligarchy uses to control the masses who get their reality through the tell-a-vision and glossy magazines <a href="http://involuntaryservant.blogspot.com/2009/03/bought-and-paid-for-central-bankster.html" target="_blank">of the bought-and-paid-for monopolized MainStreamMedia</a>. The film covers propaganda, the history and hidden curriculum of mandatory government "schooling", and the science behind how the flicker rate of the tell-a-vision puts viewers into an alpha wave brain state where information is received uncritically. As of this writing the on-line version of the documentary has gone viral garnering over 200,000+ views in a less than a week.

<br />
Bohemian Mom<br /><a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2012/04/5-outdated-concepts-to-remove-from.html">Activist Post</a><br /><br />In a previous article, I offered <a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2012/04/5-ways-to-improve-public-school.html">5 Ways to Improve the Public School Experience with Unschooling Techniques</a>.<br /><br />As an <a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2010/10/journey-to-unschooling.html">unschooling parent</a>, I often struggle with the thoughts of what happens to all the other children that are still in the public school system. While we believe very strongly in the benefits of having our children at home and following an <a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2012/02/5-biggest-misconceptions-about.html">unschooling lifestyle</a>, I know that it is simply not possible for everyone.<br /><br />I feel that the public school system is a completely inefficient model for gaining knowledge. Our <a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2012/02/11-reasons-to-get-your-kids-out-of.html">public school systems</a> are deeply rooted in an archaic mindset that we should consider updating to be in step with current technological and societal advancements. <br /><br />With the foundational goals of happiness, confidence, safety, and encouraging children to seek out their own passion, I think it is time that we look at what we should remove from public school philosophy, so that we prepare our children better for the real world that awaits beyond the orchestrated schoolyard experience. <br /><br /><b>Separation of children by age</b><br />The practice of separating children by age only fosters the idea that we cannot work with others that are different. This couldn't be further from the truth. Not only is working with different age groups good for development, but it also keeps in mind the highly variable rates at which young children develop. Not all five year olds are on the same level. Why not offer them the opportunity to learn from older children, or to help younger ones?<br /><br />Having a wide range of ages in a classroom will do a couple things. For starters, young children seem to benefit greatly by learning from older children, as they love to emulate older siblings and peers. Older children gain a confidence and pride in helping others and learn to be more tolerant and considerate of others when they are helping younger children. It benefits everyone and can easily be arranged.<br /><br />Mentoring programs are wonderful and they work well. But why not offer that same type of interaction in school? Institute an age range of possibly 3-4 grade levels together, at least for certain subjects and activities. Play with it and see what best works for the students. Montessori schools are already doing this and it works well to foster creativity and self-esteem. Two things that seem to be falling by the wayside in our school system at the moment.<br /><br /><b>Testing</b><br /><i>When test scores go up, we should worry, because of how poor a measure they are of what matters, and what you typically sacrifice in a desperate effort to raise scores. - Alfie Kohn</i><br /><br />Testing our children is sold to us under the auspices of accountability. How on earth will we know what our children know and if the teachers are doing their job without the tests, they tell us. Accountability should come from parents' and children’s happiness. Not everyone will be pleased, but if the overall sentiment is positive and the children enjoy their days, that should be enough. Again, if parents had choices, they could simply choose a school that emphasizes testing or one that does not.<br /><br />Universal testing of children is no longer an accurate measure of ability. Book smarts and ability are not universal. Additionally, many teachers complain that they are losing any autonomy they once had in the classroom in an effort to teach to the tests. The quality and flexibility of education drops as the focus is solely put on what the test makers think is important. Meanwhile, kids are having creativity and diversity sucked out of their lives. Finally, every answer to the questions on these so-called tests could be found or calculated with a tablet in seconds. So, really, what's the point?<br /><br /><b>Busy work</b><br />Busy work is a huge component to homework and the need for children to be in school so many hours a day. Relaxation or free time is not appreciated at all, yet we all need it. Playing games and interacting with parents and siblings is a far more useful way for children to spend their time. If they are done with their work in the classroom, allow and encourage them to do what they want. They will still be busy, but busy working on what has value to them. Isn't that important enough? Even forcing them into full-time extracurricular activities can be harmful.<br /><br />In my opinion, homework should be done away with altogether (I can hear all the children cheering now). When a second-grader is in school all day, five days a week, why on earth do they need to do more school work? It's madness! Mindless worksheets just to have the appearance that they are always working or always learning. I have news for you; they are always learning, and usually most effectively through play. Get rid of homework all together, and allow children time to be with friends and family, play, and view the world on their own terms.<br /><br /><b>Long hours away from home</b><br /><i>We ask children to do for most of the day what few adults are able to do for even an hour. How many of us, attending, say, a lecture that doesn’t interest us, can keep our minds from wandering? Hardly any. - John Holt</i><br /><br />Simply put, our children are overworked and separated for far too many hours from their family. Family ties are extremely important for child development, especially when children are young. Interaction with their siblings, parents, extended family and pets is vital to their formation of identity. At this point, we see our children for a very limited time during the day, and that time gets quickly eaten up with duties like extracurricular activities, homework, baths, dinner, and sleep.<br /><br />Cut back the hours that they are in the classroom spent on traditional means of educating. If we have smaller class sizes, then 4 hours per day should be plenty to gain what currently is achieved in 7 or so hours. If parents struggle with work commitments, then use that other time to allow children creative outlets to explore their world. Plant gardens, allow computer time, set up apprenticeships for older children, etc. Let children decide what they want to do and get them involved in it.<br /><br /><b>Institutional feel of classrooms</b><br /><i>If you wanted to create an education environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you would probably design something like a classroom. - John Medina</i><br /><br />Schools and classrooms are overly institutional feeling, which is cold and unhealthy. The oppressive rules are increasingly prison-like. This stifles creativity and curiosity and makes our children accept the life of living in a box. I know building all new schools is not possible, but bringing the outdoors inside, allowing classroom time to be outdoors, colorfully painting, and encouraging ideas from children are all things that can be done to help this.<br /><br />When a new school is being built consider what would foster your own creativity, what would help allow you to see the world and all its possibilities. Isn't that the best we can give to our children?<br /><br />The bottom line is that no matter what you think of homeschooling or unschooling, the public education system needs a massive paradigm shift. How can it hurt to incorporate new ideas into the classroom? I know many of you reading will probably question how to fund these changes. But again I would argue that it may not be about increasing funding, but rather a simple change in how and what we are funding. <br /><br /><i>You may say I am a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. - John Lennon. </i><br /><br />I know there are more people out there that see the pitfalls in the way our children are being educated. Let’s stand up together and make a change!

To echo what former first lady Hillary Clinton professed, these public school champions believe "it takes a village" to cultivate a society of competent human beings.<br /><br />As Hebrew University historian Martin van Crevald points out in his book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/052165629X?ie=UTF8&tag=lewrockwell&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=052165629X"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Rise and Decline of the State</span></a>, nineteenth-century state worshippers who wanted to impose a love of big government ideals upon the youth popularized the archetype for state-directed education. Additionally, there was an overall appetite for discipline of the "unruly" masses that reinforced the campaign to take education out of the hands of individuals. After all, the self-educated masses might resist government decrees, and this kind of disarray would be undesirable in the move toward building a powerful, controlling state apparatus. Prussia's Frederick William I and France's Napoleon discerned this, as did a legion of other despotic rulers throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. In a recent article published on the American Daily Herald "<a href="http://www.americandailyherald.com/glenn-horowitz/dumberer-and-dumberest">Dumberer and Dumberest</a>," Glenn Horowitz writes:<br /><br /><blockquote>If you're not familiar with it, the Prussian system was a teaching methodology designed to stamp out good little worker bees assembly-line fashion, trained to be complacent with their station in life and compliant with every demand of the State. An elite of those better educated but still proven unquestioningly loyal to the State were promoted to lead the proletariat, rewarded with elevated status and material success commensurate with their skills and the zeal they demonstrate in supporting the system. It specifically avoided developing creativity and independent thought, reasoning these were skills the worker classes didn't need in their roles as mass produced labor.</blockquote><br />Modern education is built upon a foundation set forth by tyrants. What is most disquieting about the public education mindset is that those who believe most strongly in it are convinced that there are no other suitable alternatives to the compulsory schooling provided via the public domain. The egalitarian core belief of these public education proponents is that society is responsible for obtaining, maintaining, and paying for the process of equally developing young minds.<br /><br />Since the laws of the modern state that control the educational system lean heavily toward equality, federal compulsory schooling is necessarily a bias against the best and brightest of America’s children. Federalized education sustains the philosophy that schools have the obligation to treat all students as pure equals – equal in intelligence, work ethic, performance, and desire.<br /><br />Such nonsense is refuted by H. George Resch in his article "<a href="http://www.honested.com/essays/resch/h_v.php">Equality vs. Equity</a>" on the Separation of School and State website. Mr. Resch contends that compulsory, government-controlled education is trying to achieve ends that are not possible due to the fact that general equality is not only impossible to define, but that biological, environmental, and cultural differences among us are so vast that a compulsory, standardized public education poses difficulties that cannot be overcome, and certainly not by a government-run school system.<br /><br />It's obvious that public schooling is neither beneficial to most students, nor is it efficient. Education is an acquired good, a good that has to meet the needs of the consumers or else face rejection in the free market. Accordingly, there is a necessity for unique, private educational institutions that cater to the urgencies of the marketplace, or home schools that provide a quality environment for each student's direct needs.<br /><br />In a blog titled "<a href="http://www.underpenaltyofcatapult.com/449/farmville-usa">Farmville USA</a>," writer Skip Oliva presents the idea that public schooling is organized along the same principles as factory farming.<br /><br /><blockquote>Public schooling is based on the same organizational principles as factory farming. They are both modern procedures designed to replace ancient methods of child-rearing and rural farming, respectively. Both rely on a core principle of confinement. In factory farming, animals are generally kept indoors in confined pens for duration of their lives. If we’re talking about male cattle raised for veal, they are literally confined to a small box and denied any exercise whatsoever. With public schooling, children are confined indoors for the majority of daylight hours and, in lower grades, generally restricted to a single classroom. They are expected to sit quietly at desks – analogous to a factory animal cage – with only limited exercise approved for limited, scheduled intervals. Animals and children alike are deprived of the ability to fulfill their natural desire to exercise and explore their outdoor environments.</blockquote><br /><br />The confinement of children on the part of authoritarian figures who demand mandatory attendance illustrates how the federal public school system has become a security garrison with satellite detainment facilities. Moreover, yanking children from their parents and assimilating them into dumbed-down, draconian learning pools based on age and collectivizing their learning experience in a quasi-prison environment hasn't worked, and it will never be ideal for the vast majority of the children. Skip Oliva continues:<br /><br /><blockquote>There is also the issue of socialization. Many farmed animals, including cows, pigs and rabbits, are naturally sociable and psychologically require healthy contact with other members of their species, particularly with their mothers during adolescence. Factory farming largely ignores those relationships. Young cattle are often denied any maternal contact, in order to preserve the mother’s milk for human consumption. Animals are often caged or together in inadequate indoor facilities which promote the spread of disease, aggressive fighting and even cannibalism. Similarly, when children are confined in large classrooms, they are more exposed to communicable diseases and subject to anti-social behaviors such as bullying.<br /><br />Of course, proponents of schooling claim socialization is a primary benefit, especially compared with continued instruction from a parent (aka "homeschooling"). Yet as is true with most high-order mammals, human children require an extended period of exclusive access to a parent, ideally the mother, who serves as a model for proper social behavior. Children of the same age are inadequate substitutes. They cannot model behaviors that they themselves have not learned. Nor is a teacher in a position to do so, as one person is incapable of developing the necessary relationship of trust with several dozen children during normal "business" hours.</blockquote><br /><br />The reality of public schools in America is that they resemble prisons, holding children captive and subjecting them to monitoring, authoritarian supervision, arbitrary rules, prescribed conformity, coerced abstinence, zero tolerance insanity, irrational fears, invasion of privacy, prison-like security, unlawful searches, mind-controlling drugs, and the police state. John Taylor Gatto, in his essay, "<a href="http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/schoolpr.htm">Some Reflections on the Equivalencies Between Forced Schooling and Prison</a>," noted that America’s public schools and its penal system are alike because within each environment an individual’s movements, thoughts, and associations are regarded with great suspicion and are therefore controlled. Gatto explains:<br /><br /><blockquote>Almost all Americans have had an intense school experience which occupied their entire youth, an experience during which they were drilled thoroughly in the culture and economy of the well-schooled greater society, in which individuals have been rendered helpless to do much of anything except watch television or punch buttons on a keypad.<br /><br />Before you begin to blame the childish for being that way and join the chorus of those defending the general imprisonment of adults and the schooling by force of children because there isn't any other way to handle the mob, you want to at least consider the possibility that we've been trained in childishness and helplessness for a reason. And that reason is that helpless people are easy to manage. Helpless people can be counted upon to act as their own jailers because they are so inadequate to complex reality they are afraid of new experience. They're like animals whose spirits have been broken. Helpless people take orders well, they don't have minds of their own, they are predictable, they won't surprise corporations or governments with resistance to the newest product craze, the newest genetic patent – or by armed revolution. Helpless people can be counted on to despise independent citizens and hence they act as a fifth column in opposition to social change in the direction of personal sovereignty.</blockquote><br /><br /><br />In 2009, a compelling documentary was produced that focuses on the control and containment that is the government’s compulsory school system: <a href="http://en.wikpedia.org/wiki/The_War_on_kids">The War on Kids</a> . This documentary has not received the attention it deserves, but every parent who has a child that has received a sentence of thirteen (or more) years in the compulsory schooling environment should watch this film.<br /><br />Note in Part 2 where the filmmaker visually shows how so many of the public schools look exactly like prisons. Some of the footage you will see throughout the film is staggering, and some of the interviews with public school bureaucrats are remarkably creepy. <a href="http://www.thewaronkids.com/">Here is the website for the movie</a>, and this is the general information presented for the film (it is shown in six parts on TagTélé).<br /><br /><blockquote>In 95 minutes, THE WAR ON KIDS exposes the many ways the public school system has failed children and our future by robbing students of all freedoms due largely to irrational fears. Children are subjected to endure prison-like security, arbitrary punishments, and pharmacological abuse through the forced prescription of dangerous drugs. Even with these measures, schools not only fail to educate students, but the drive to teach has become secondary to the need to control children. Not only do school fall short of their mission to educate, but they erode the country’s democratic foundation and often resemble prisons.<br /><br />School children are interviewed, as are high school teachers and administrators, and prison security guards, plus renowned educators and authors including:<br /><br />Henry Giroux: Author of Stealing Innocence Corporate Culture's War on Children<br /><br />Mike A.

Our children desperately need to focus on the basics such as reading, writing and math, but instead a whole host of politicians, "education officials" and teachers are constantly injecting as much propaganda as they possibly can into classroom instruction. Instead of learning how to think, our children are continually being told what to think. Not only that, our children are also being trained how to live as subservient slaves in a Big Brother police state. Today, nearly everything that children do in public schools is watched, monitored, recorded and tracked. Independent thought and free expression are greatly discouraged and are often cracked down upon harshly. If students get "out of line", instead of being sent to see the principal they are often handcuffed, arrested and taken to the police station. In addition, law enforcement authorities are using weapons such as pepper spray and tasers against young students in our public schools more than ever before. Children in U.S. public schools are not learning how to live as strong individuals in the "land of the free and the home of the brave". Rather, they are being trained how to serve a <b><a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/category/big-brother">Big Brother</a></b> police state where control freaks run their entire lives. If we continue to allow all of the liberty and freedom to be systematically drained out of our school children, then there is not going to be much hope for the future of this nation.</div><div><br /></div><div>The following are 28 signs that U.S public schools are being turned into indoctrination centers and prison camps....</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#1</b> All 50 U.S. states are now constructing federally-mandated databases that will track the behavior and performance of all public school students in America throughout their entire school careers. According to the <b><a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/how_the_feds_are_tracking_your_kid_xC6wecT8ZidCAzfqegB6hL">New York Post</a></b>, the Obama administration wants to use the information that is gathered for a wide array of purposes....</div><div><br /></div><div><i>The administration wants this data to include much more than name, address and test scores. According to the National Data Collection Model, the government should collect information on health-care history, family income and family voting status. In its view, public schools offer a golden opportunity to mine reams of data from a captive audience.</i></div><div><br /></div><div><b>#2</b> All over America, school children are being immersed in the radical green agenda. In fact, in many areas of the country children are actively trained to watch how their parents behave and to correct them when they are being "environmentally unfriendly". The following is from a recent <b><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/10/nyregion/10green.html?_r=1">New York Times article</a></b> about this phenomenon....</div><div><br /></div><div><i>“I have very, very environmentally conscious children — more so than me, I’m embarrassed to say,” said Ms. Ross, a social worker in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y. “They’re on my case about getting a hybrid car. They want me to replace all the light bulbs in the house with energy-saving bulbs.”</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Ms. Ross’s children are part of what experts say is a growing army of “eco-kids” — steeped in environmentalism at school, in houses of worship, through scouting and even via popular culture — who try to hold their parents accountable at home. Amid their pride in their children’s zeal for all things green, the grown-ups sometimes end up feeling like scofflaws under the watchful eye of the pint-size eco-police, whose demands grow ever greater, and more expensive.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Later on in that same article, a district superintendent is quoted as saying that they try to inject the green agenda wherever they can into the curriculum....</div><div><br /></div><div><i>“We’re trying to integrate it into anything where it naturally fits,” said Jackie Taylor, the district’s superintendent. “It might be in a math lesson. How much water are you really using? How can you tell? Teachers look for avenues in almost everything they teach.”</i></div><div><br /></div><div><b>#3</b> One 13-year-old student <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/01/suit-filed-after-nm-teen-_0_n_1124180.html"><b>down in New Mexico</b></a> was recently handcuffed and forcibly removed from a classroom just because he burped in class. In all, over 200 students in Bernalillo County "have been handcuffed and arrested in the last three years for non-violent misdemeanors".</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#4</b> All over America, students are being taught that the First Amendment does not apply in public schools. Expressions of free speech in school are often cracked down upon very hard. For example, one group of high school athletes was recently <a href="http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id/7357978/high-school-athletes-suspended-tebowing"><b>suspended </b></a>for "Tebowing" in the hallways of their school.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#5</b> Many public school sex education classes have totally crossed the line. Instead of just "educating" children about sex, many sex ed courses are now "indoctrinating" children about sex. One recent example of this was detailed <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/19/opinion/does-sex-ed-undermine-parental-rights.html?_r=1"><b>in the New York Times....</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div><i>IMAGINE you have a 10- or 11-year-old child, just entering a public middle school. How would you feel if, as part of a class ostensibly about the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, he and his classmates were given “risk cards” that graphically named a variety of solitary and mutual sex acts? Or if, in another lesson, he was encouraged to disregard what you told him about sex, and to rely instead on teachers and health clinic staff members?</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>That prospect would horrify most parents. But such lessons are part of a middle-school curriculum that Dennis M. Walcott, the New York City schools chancellor, has recommended for his system’s newly mandated sex-education classes. There is a parental “opt out,” but it is very limited, covering classes on contraception and birth control.</i></div><div><br /></div><div><b>#6</b> Sadly, this "sexual indoctrination" appears to be working. According to <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2078369/Sexual-activity-teenage-girls-higher-claims-new-research.html"><b>one recent study</b></a>, sexual conduct between teen girls in the United States is now at the highest level ever recorded.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#7</b> Putting kids in jail has become standard operating procedure in the United States. Today, nearly one-third of all Americans <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2076173/US-youth-crime-revealed-THIRD-young-adults-arrested-23.html"><b>are arrested by police</b></a> by the time they reach the age of 23. At this point, the United States has <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration_in_the_United_States">the highest incarceration rate</a></b> in the world and the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/23/world/americas/23iht-23prison.12253738.html"><b>largest total prison population</b></a> on the entire globe, and yet our society just continues to become more unstable.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#8</b> In some U.S. schools, RFID chips are now being used to monitor the attendance and movements of children while they are at school. The following is how <a href="http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/biomedical/ethics/goodbye-roll-call-hello-rfids"><b>one article</b></a> recently described a program that has just been instituted at a preschool in California....</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Upon arriving in the morning, according to the Associated Press, each student at the CCC-George Miller preschool will don a jersey with a stitched in RFID chip. As the kids go about the business of learning, sensors in the school will record their movements, collecting attendance for both classes and meals. Officials from the school have claimed they're only recording information they're required to provide while receiving federal funds for their Headstart program.</i></div><div><br /></div><div><b>#9</b> Increasingly, incidents of misbehavior at many U.S. schools are being treated as very serious crimes. For example, when a little girl kissed a little boy at one Florida elementary school recently, it was considered to be a "<a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/cops-called-for-school-kiss-657831"><b>possible sex crime</b></a>" and the police were called out.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#10</b> Even 5-year-old children are now being handcuffed and arrested by police in public schools. The following is from <a href="http://www.kcra.com/r/29847063/detail.html"><b>a recent article</b></a> that described what happened to one very young student in Stockton, California earlier this year....</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Earlier this year, a Stockton student was handcuffed with zip ties on his hands and feet, forced to go to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and was charged with battery on a police officer. That student was 5 years old.</i></div><div><br /></div><div><b>#11</b> A teenager in suburban Dallas <a href="http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/weird/Teen-Fined-637-for-Foul-Language-in-Classroom-114879844.html"><b>was recently forced to take on a part-time job</b></a> after being ticketed for using bad language in one high school classroom. The original ticket was for $340, but additional fees have raised the total bill to $637.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#12</b> It is not just high school kids that are being ticketed by police. In Texas the crackdown extends all the way down to elementary school students. In fact, it has been reported that Texas police gave "<b><a href="http://www.parentdish.com/2011/01/11/should-texas-cops-be-giving-tickets-to-6-year-olds/">1,000 tickets</a></b>" to elementary school kids over a recent six year period.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#13</b> Our children are being programmed to accept the fact that they will be watched and monitored constantly. For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is spending large amounts of money <a href="http://www.infowars.com/control-freak-society-government-to-monitor-school-lunches-with-cameras/"><b>to install surveillance cameras</b></a> in the cafeterias of public schools all across the nation so that government control freaks can closely monitor what our children are eating.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#14</b> If you can believe it, a "<a href="http://current.com/18d6mkc"><b>certified TSA official</b></a>" was recently brought in to oversee student searches at the Santa Fe High School prom.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#15</b> Last year, a 17 year-old honor student in North Carolina named Ashley Smithwick accidentally took her father's lunch with her to school. It contained a small paring knife which he would use to slice up apples. So what happened to this standout student when the school discovered this? The school <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/12/29/nc-high-school-senior-suspended-charged-possesion-small-knife-lunchbox/#"><b>suspended her for the rest of the year</b></a> and the police charged her with a misdemeanor.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#16</b> According to blogger Alexander Higgins, students in kindergarten and the 1st grade in the state of New Jersey are now required by law to participate "in monthly anti-terrorism drills". The following is an <a href="http://cdn1.alexanderhiggins.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Notification-Of-Terrorism-Drills-For-NJ-Public-School-Students.jpg"><b>excerpt from a letter</b></a> that he recently received from the school where his child attends....</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Each month a school must conduct one fire drill and one security drill which may be a lockdown, bomb threat, evacuation, active shooter, or shelter-in place drill. All schools are now required by law to implement this procedure.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>So who in the world ever decided that it would be a good idea for 1st grade students to endure "lockdown" and "active shooter" drills? To get an idea of what these kinds of drills are like, just check out <b><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbWjX9pZs0s&feature=player_embedded">this video</a></b>.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#17</b> In some U.S. schools, armed cops accompanied by police dogs actually conduct surprise raids with their guns drawn. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6r9neE89Fg&feature=player_embedded"><b>In this video</b></a>, you can actually see police officers aiming their guns at school children as the students are lined up facing the wall.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#18</b> The U.S. government is now encouraging children <a href="http://godfatherpolitics.com/2613/turning-schoolchildren-into-informants/#.Tuqyyi7Oz4I.email"><b>to spy on their parents</b></a> as part of the "war on terror". If a school official hears that a parent has said the "wrong thing" at home, that parent could potentially get labeled as a "potential terrorist".</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#19</b> The U.S. government has also been increasingly using "polls" and "surveys" as tools to gather information about all of us. In <a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/12-signs-that-americans-who-love-liberty-and-freedom-should-watch-their-backs"><b>previous articles</b></a>, I have noted how government authorities seems particularly interested in our children. According to <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/033717_CDC_National_Immunization_Survey.html"><b>Mike Adams of Natural News</b></a>, the CDC is starting to call parents all over the U.S. to question them about the vaccination status of their children....</div><div><br /></div><div><i>The U.S. Centers for Disease Control, which has been comprehensively exposed as a vaccine propaganda organization promoting the interests of drug companies, is now engaged in a household surveillance program that involves calling U.S. households and intimidating parents into producing child immunization records. As part of what it deems a National Immunization Survey(NIS), the CDC is sending letters to U.S. households, alerting them that they will be called by "NORC at the University of Chicago" and that households should "have your child's immunization records handy when answering our questions."</i></div><div><br /></div><div>You can see a copy of the letter that the CDC has been sending out to selected parents <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/images/CDC-Letter-1.jpg"><b>right here</b></a>.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#20</b> Last year, a high school student in Southern California <a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-student-suspended-for-sharing-faith-sues-school-district-49655/"><b>was suspended for two days</b></a> because he had private conversations with his classmates during which he discussed Christianity. He was also banned from bringing his Bible to school ever again.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>#21</b> In early 2010, a 12 year old girl in New York was arrested by police and marched out of her school in handcuffs <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/02/18/new.york.doodle.arrest/index.html?hpt=C1"><b>just because she doodled on her desk</b></a>.

After the crimes of these regimes became apparent the US government changed up the look of the pledge but the practice of having children pledge their allegiance to the government in government schools led by government teachers continues to this day. The Prussian Model of education that was adopted by the US Government was openly developed by the Prussian government to instill obedience to the state to ensure support for the government taxation schemes and to get the population to easily conscript into the military and obey the orders of commanders.<br /><br />This video from the sketch comedy troupe Whitest Kids U Know destroys the legitimacy of a system where young, impressionable children are forced by teachers and peer pressure to grow up swearing allegiance to a government that is openly controlled by corporate special interests that receive hundreds of billions from the government and then spend hundreds of millions supporting the candidacies of the politicians voting them money. The video also openly mocks the pharmaceutical company programs that drug MILLIONS of children every year in the schools.HSLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11749484042172146288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362960104423751192.post-7540022046103160552011-09-12T18:51:00.000-07:002011-09-12T18:54:04.439-07:009-11 - A Conspiracy Theory<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yuC_4mGTs98" allowfullscreen="" width="460" frameborder="0" height="288"></iframe>HSLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11749484042172146288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362960104423751192.post-44094456069045024302011-09-09T04:56:00.000-07:002011-09-09T05:15:13.005-07:001500+ Architects and Engineers Prove 9-11 Was an Inside Job<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hZEvA8BCoBw" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="288" width="460"></iframe><br /><br />Because the <a href="http://involuntaryservant.blogspot.com/2009/08/governmentmainstreammedia-puppet-show.html">Central Bankster-owned MainStreamMedia</a> keeps Americans immersed in a sea of propaganda and distraction, most are not aware that thousands of architects, structural engineers, physicists, chemical engineers, demolition experts, and other technical professionals have examined the evidence of 9-11 and concluded that the official story is a lie and that explosives were used to bring down the twin towers and a third skyscraper: <span style="font-weight: bold;">WTC 7</span> on 9-11. <br /><br />WTC 7 is the "Smoking Gun" of 9-11. A 47 story modern steel-framed skyscraper that collapsed completely and symmetrically into its own footprint at free-fall speed.. Defying the laws of physics and displaying all the hallmarks of a controlled demolition: blast squibs, symmetrical collapse, free-fall acceleration, melted steel, and even unreacted military-grade thermitic material found in the debris.

It contained New York City's "Emergency Management Center" which was coincidentally built the year before 9-11 with blast-proof windows, its own oxygen supply, uninterrupted power, and military-grade communications... all overlooking the World Trade Center complex. <br /><br /><br />But the government school system continues to teach kids that 9-11 was the work of 19 arabs who couldn't even fly light aircraft operating out of a cave in Afghanistan.HSLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11749484042172146288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362960104423751192.post-89912721953426225822011-09-06T19:13:00.000-07:002011-09-06T19:18:17.742-07:00Charlotte Iserbyt: The Secret History of Western Education & Scientific Destruction of Minds<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNLizqyctBvWr312hnheXlwBRCWHvhmbydEaM_c_V-1jM0-SlkGnpO_KNSJHk7uSjrtHiym4S3xILjajURTl212d8x-oLgYVmziMS-JkQ6B6qo6NlLvL_Mb7ftWXnd2256aMp27QnbeX_c/s1600/Charlotte-Iserbyt.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 336px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNLizqyctBvWr312hnheXlwBRCWHvhmbydEaM_c_V-1jM0-SlkGnpO_KNSJHk7uSjrtHiym4S3xILjajURTl212d8x-oLgYVmziMS-JkQ6B6qo6NlLvL_Mb7ftWXnd2256aMp27QnbeX_c/s400/Charlotte-Iserbyt.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649436182651832306" border="0" /></a>Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt served as the head of policy at the Department of Education during the first administration of Ronald Reagan. While working there she discovered a long term strategic plan by the tax exempt foundations to transform America from a nation of rugged individualists and problem solvers to a country of servile, brainwashed minions who simply regurgitate whatever they’re told. <p>Iserbyt breaks down how conditioning/training under a corporate agenda has replaced traditional education, leading to a deliberate dumbing down of Americans. Iserbyt further explains how Reagan signed agreements merging the U.S. and Soviet systems under the United Nations banner, turning over education and many other areas of public policy to global control.</p><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/D3n_c8AfQm4" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="288" width="460"></iframe>HSLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11749484042172146288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362960104423751192.post-6017893825341011742011-02-15T13:37:00.000-08:002011-02-17T16:24:35.444-08:00Fluoride - Poison in our Kid's (and Teacher's!) Water<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/blogphoto/Fluoride-1.jpg" /><br /><br />One of the techniques the government uses to keep the tax slaves under control is to put the toxic chemical Fluoride, which lowers IQ, in the water. The substance that is put into the public's water supply to, supposedly, prevent dental caries is <a href="http://www.fluoridealert.org/pesticides/fluosilicic.acid-page.htm">fluorosilicic acid</a> in Loudoun/Fairfax and Sodium Fluoride in other jurisdictions both of which are the toxic byproducts of aluminum and fertilizer manufacture. It is undeniable that fluorosilicic acid is poisonous. It states that it is poisonous on its <a href="http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9924083">Material Safety Data Sheet</a> that the government requires on all toxic chemicals transported through the US. It states that it is poisonous on the labels on the bags that are received by the water treatment plants. The notoriously pro-government <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexafluorosilicic_acid">Wikipedia</a> admits it is poisonous, as do <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/008511_medical_myths_counterthink.html">Natural News</a> and the <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/07/01/paul-connett-interview.aspx">Mercola Natural Health Newsletter</a> which are the most widely subscribed health newsletters in the world. It is so toxic that I have been told by a superintendent of a water treatment facility that its fumes alone will actually etch/ruin glass in the rooms where it is stored and used.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/blogphoto/SodiumFluorosilicateSmallPhoto.jpg" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">The Label from a container of Sodium Fluorsilicate / Fluorosilicic Acid</span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />How Fluoride is Harming Our Kids and Teachers<br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">Lower IQ - </span></span><span><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://fluoridealert.org/iq.studies.html">Fluoride has been linked to lower IQ in 23 published studies from around the world</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Major Health Issues including</span>: <a href="http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/thyroid/">Tyroid Problems including Hypothyroidism</a>, <a href="http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/gi/">Gastrointestinal Tract Problems</a>, <a href="http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/immune/index.html">Compromised Immune System</a>, <a href="http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/cancer/">Cancer</a>,<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dental Fluorosis</span> - Ironically, Fluoride ingestion in the early years damages the tooth-forming cells leading to a defect in the tooth enamel and discoloration known as <a href="http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/teeth/fluorosis/index.html">Dental Fluorisis</a>.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/blogphoto/dental-fluorosis.gif" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;">Does Fluoride Even Protect Teeth From Cavities?</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Not really.

Illustrative of the way that monied interests have and continue to cloud the issue, Dr. Bassin's faculty advisor at Harvard, Dr. Chester Douglass, appears to have suppressed this research within the School of Dental Health. It was discovered that he was on the payroll of fluoridated toothpaste manufacturer Colgate as an editor of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Colgate Oral Health Report</span>.

Parents & Teachers </span>- Get a water filter for your home that removes Fluoride and send your kids to school with fluoride-free water in a BPA-free bottle as I do with my kids. Buy Fluoride-free toothpaste (<a href="http://langelah.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/toothpaste-warning2.jpg">it says right there on the label that it is poisonous</a>)<br /><br />The most obvious solution is to get a water filter to remove the fluoride, chlorine, and any other contaminants from the drinking water and water used for cooking at the school. The last time that I saw the finances of the Ashburn PTO the organization was sitting on over $50,000+. The comment field is open below if anyone would care to name a more important use for that money than ensuring poison-free water for the students and teachers. I have already donated a small filter to the school which remains unused and I stand ready to donate, as I am sure that many other parents would as well, to any effort to buy the school a large capacity filter.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQnD7AogH0tX1hkHwi1Sv9Sh_K6j4EGptbzfox_RP9p9QbiNpU5jrYD-2MO5SyE0mJ7svDnM8J8VbAN3bfL-prmeOv1rXb1cANyoAcSt8_CCUtgMxHh_1fZhEzX4ouSPXxP-ucodBWDJ7A/s1600/Water_Fountain.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQnD7AogH0tX1hkHwi1Sv9Sh_K6j4EGptbzfox_RP9p9QbiNpU5jrYD-2MO5SyE0mJ7svDnM8J8VbAN3bfL-prmeOv1rXb1cANyoAcSt8_CCUtgMxHh_1fZhEzX4ouSPXxP-ucodBWDJ7A/s400/Water_Fountain.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514130794108091234" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Actual Sign over an Ashburn Elementary School Water Fountain</span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Research the Issue</span> - Last year I contacted Dr. William Marcus, the former chief toxicologist for the EPA's water quality program. At the time Dr. Marcus was willing to do a conference call with the school administration and the Ashburn Elementary PTO which I suggested to the School's principal Mrs. Walthour be recorded and made available to the parents and teachers on the school's website. Mrs. Walthour refused. Why? I have requested to address the PTO on the issue on 4 separate occasions and have been refused. If there is credible evidence that the water that is being given to the students and teachers at the school is toxic then why would they not want to investigate the subject?<br /><br />Additionally, the Loudoun County School District employs hundreds of science and chemistry teachers.

It is an excellent overview of the toxicology of Fluoride, the harm it does the body, and the corporate "tobacco science" that its supporters rely on to promote a program to dispose of millions of tons of toxic waste from the aluminum and phosphate fertilizer industry into the public's drinking water.<br /><br />I am constantly amazed at how cut and dried this issue is for anyone that spends an hour looking into the subject. The government is dumping poisonous toxic waste that has been <a href="http://fluoridealert.org/iq.studies.html">linked to lower IQ in 24 studies from around the world</a> into the public's water.<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span> It is an absolute, unequivocal FACT. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Period.</span> <br /><br />I have found that most people simply can't get over the cognitive dissonance involved in the realization that the government is poisoning their water (<a href="http://involuntaryservant.blogspot.com/2009/03/bought-and-paid-for-central-bankster.html">and controlling the MainStreamMedia to ensure that the subject is never covered on their tell-a-vision</a>). <br /><br />What is even more odd is that anyone that has a scintilla of understanding about world history should know <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">that is exactly the kind of thing that governments do to control their populations</span>. Look at the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, East Germany, China, etc. <br /><br />Does anyone really believe that a government that is taking 50% of your income for blatantly unconstitutional programs and openly transferring trillions to private banks and CIA front companies like AIG has any interest in a well-educated population capable of critical thinking?HSLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11749484042172146288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362960104423751192.post-37242352136789182011-02-11T22:17:00.000-08:002011-02-17T16:26:29.093-08:00Books Donated to the Ashburn Elementry School Library & The Hand that Rocked Your Intellectual Cradle<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/blogphoto/DSC00302.jpg" /><br /><br />I have donated the following titles to the Ashburn Elementary School Library:<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0865714487?ie=UTF8&tag=humanproducti-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0865714487"> <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Dumbing Us Down</span></a> by John Taylor Gatto, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0966707109?ie=UTF8&tag=humanproducti-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0966707109"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America</span></a> by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0865716315?ie=UTF8&tag=humanproducti-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0865716315"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Weapons of Mass Instruction</span></a> by John Taylor Gatto. <p></p><p face="arial" style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p face="arial" style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">I have done so because these books represent some of the most scholarly and well referenced works available documenting the hidden curriculum of government education:<br /></p><ul style="font-family: arial;"><li>The deliberate dumbing down of the masses so they can't understand how they are getting raped by the organized crime families that are stealing trillions though central banking/seinorage, military-industrial complex fraud, no-win wars in inhospitable places, etc<br /></li><li>Destruction of independent thought and critical thinking (Ibid)<br /></li><li>The instillation of essentially blind obedience to governmental authority</li><li>The ultimate creation of compliant tax payers and, when needed, military conscripts. </li><li>Social engineering a "Hive Mind" mentality on issues important to the ruling elite</li></ul><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Most evident in the government schools focus on "Green" and "environmentalism" to prepare the population to accept: carbon taxes, compact cities, and ultimately one-child policies/eugenics.</span><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;">Most teachers, administrators and school psychologists that I have spoken with about this issue don't have a clue that the system they work in has been set up to accomplish these nefarious goals.

The Master thought about this, then replied, "Ten years . ." The student then said, "But what if I work very, very hard and really apply myself to learn fast -- How long then?" Replied the Master, "Well, twenty years." "But, if I <i>really, really </i> work at it, how long then?" asked the student. "Thirty years," replied the Master. "But, I do not understand," said the disappointed student. "At each time that I say I will work harder, you say it will take me longer. Why do you say that?" Replied the Master, "When you have one eye on the goal, you only have one eye on the path."</span><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >This is the dilemma I've faced within the American education system. We are so focused on a goal, whether it be passing a test, or graduating as first in the class. However, in this way, we do not really learn. We do whatever it takes to achieve our original objective.</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >Some of you may be thinking, “Well, if you pass a test, or become valedictorian, didn't you learn something? Well, yes, you learned something, but not all that you could have. Perhaps, you only learned how to memorize names, places, and dates to later on forget in order to clear your mind for the next test. School is not all that it can be. Right now, it is a place for most people to determine that their goal is to get out as soon as possible.</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >I am now accomplishing that goal. I am graduating. I should look at this as a positive experience, especially being at the top of my class. However, in retrospect, I cannot say that I am any more intelligent than my peers. I can attest that I am only the best at doing what I am told and working the system. Yet, here I stand, and I am supposed to be proud that I have completed this period of indoctrination. I will leave in the fall to go on to the next phase expected of me, in order to receive a paper document that certifies that I am capable of work. But I contest that I am a human being, a thinker, an adventurer – not a worker. A worker is someone who is trapped within repetition – a slave of the system set up before him. But now, I have successfully shown that I was the best slave. I did what I was told to the extreme. While others sat in class and doodled to later become great artists, I sat in class to take notes and become a great test-taker. While others would come to class without their homework done because they were reading about an interest of theirs, I never missed an assignment. While others were creating music and writing lyrics, I decided to do extra credit, even though I never needed it. So, I wonder, why did I even want this position? Sure, I earned it, but what will come of it? When I leave educational institutionalism, will I be successful or forever lost? I have no clue about what I want to do with my life; I have no interests because I saw every subject of study as work, and I excelled at every subject just for the purpose of excelling, not learning. And quite frankly, now I'm scared.</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >John Taylor Gatto, a retired school teacher and activist critical of compulsory schooling, asserts, “We could encourage the best qualities of youthfulness – curiosity, adventure, resilience, the capacity for surprising insight simply by being more flexible about time, texts, and tests, by introducing kids into truly competent adults, and by giving each student what autonomy he or she needs in order to take a risk every now and then. But we don't do that.” Between these cinderblock walls, we are all expected to be the same. We are trained to ace every standardized test, and those who deviate and see light through a different lens are worthless to the scheme of public education, and therefore viewed with contempt.</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >H. L. Mencken wrote in The American Mercury for April 1924 that the aim of public education is not</span></p> <ul><ul><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence. ... Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim ... is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States. (Gatto)</span><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span></p></ul></ul><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >To illustrate this idea, doesn't it perturb you to learn about the idea of “critical thinking.” Is there really such a thing as “uncritically thinking?” To think is to process information in order to form an opinion. But if we are not critical when processing this information, are we really thinking? Or are we mindlessly accepting other opinions as truth?</span><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >This was happening to me, and if it wasn't for the rare occurrence of an avant-garde tenth grade English teacher, Donna Bryan, who allowed me to open my mind and ask questions before accepting textbook doctrine, I would have been doomed. I am now enlightened, but my mind still feels disabled. I must retrain myself and constantly remember how insane this ostensibly sane place really is.</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >And now here I am in a world guided by fear, a world suppressing the uniqueness that lies inside each of us, a world where we can either acquiesce to the inhuman nonsense of corporatism and materialism or insist on change. We are not enlivened by an educational system that clandestinely sets us up for jobs that could be automated, for work that need not be done, for enslavement without fervency for meaningful achievement. We have no choices in life when money is our motivational force. Our motivational force ought to be passion, but this is lost from the moment we step into a system that trains us, rather than inspires us.</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >We are more than robotic bookshelves, conditioned to blurt out facts we were taught in school. We are all very special, every human on this planet is so special, so aren't we all deserving of something better, of using our minds for innovation, rather than memorization, for creativity, rather than futile activity, for rumination rather than stagnation? We are not here to get a degree, to then get a job, so we can consume industry-approved placation after placation. There is more, and more still.</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >The saddest part is that the majority of students don't have the opportunity to reflect as I did. The majority of students are put through the same brainwashing techniques in order to create a complacent labor force working in the interests of large corporations and secretive government, and worst of all, they are completely unaware of it. I will never be able to turn back these 18 years. I can't run away to another country with an education system meant to enlighten rather than condition. This part of my life is over, and I want to make sure that no other child will have his or her potential suppressed by powers meant to exploit and control. We are human beings. We are thinkers, dreamers, explorers, artists, writers, engineers. We are anything we want to be - but only if we have an educational system that supports us rather than holds us down. A tree can grow, but only if its roots are given a healthy foundation.</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >For those of you out there that must continue to sit in desks and yield to the authoritarian ideologies of instructors, do not be disheartened. You still have the opportunity to stand up, ask questions, be critical, and create your own perspective. Demand a setting that will provide you with intellectual capabilities that allow you to expand your mind instead of directing it. Demand that you be interested in class. Demand that the excuse, “You have to learn this for the test” is not good enough for you. Education is an excellent tool, if used properly, but focus more on learning rather than getting good grades.</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >For those of you that work within the system that I am condemning, I do not mean to insult; I intend to motivate. You have the power to change the incompetencies of this system. I know that you did not become a teacher or administrator to see your students bored. You cannot accept the authority of the governing bodies that tell you what to teach, how to teach it, and that you will be punished if you do not comply. Our potential is at stake.</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >For those of you that are now leaving this establishment, I say, do not forget what went on in these classrooms. Do not abandon those that come after you. We are the new future and we are not going to let tradition stand. We will break down the walls of corruption to let a garden of knowledge grow throughout America. Once educated properly, we will have the power to do anything, and best of all, we will only use that power for good, for we will be cultivated and wise. We will not accept anything at face value. We will ask questions, and we will demand truth.</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >So, here I stand. I am not standing here as valedictorian by myself. I was molded by my environment, by all of my peers who are sitting here watching me. I couldn't have accomplished this without all of you. It was all of you who truly made me the person I am today. It was all of you who were my competition, yet my backbone. In that way, we are all valedictorians. </span></p> <span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;" >I am now supposed to say farewell to this institution, those who maintain it, and those who stand with me and behind me, but I hope this farewell is more of a “see you later” when we are all working together to rear a pedagogic movement.

Von Campe attributes the fall of Germany to the Nazis partly to "Godlessness," a collapse in moral standards, and the German people acting contrary to God's desires. Based on this revelation, he has created a formula to try and prevent countries from succumbing to tyranny in future.<br /><br />Von Campe explains how children were indoctrinated by the state and the education system to uphold Nazi beliefs and then spy on and inform on their parents if they didn't follow suit, as a way of breaking up families and enforcing a single ideology. He also reveals how the Nazis insisted upon discussion about religion and God being kept out of society, in the interests of ensuring that the people could not call on a higher authority than the state and therefore were less inclined to resist the Nazi takeover.</p>Von Campe warns that the process of taking God out of society and education, and the accelerating erosion of America's Christian foundations bears startling similarities to how National Socialism established itself in 1930's Germany, while chillingly pointing out that the US Senate, House and the Obama White House now more closely resembles the Nazis than it does the founding fathers.<br /><div align="center"><br />"I cannot understand how the American people can tolerate a thing like this," says Von Campe, making reference to the over 50 million babies that have been killed through abortion in the United States, while drawing other parallels to how the US is beginning to mirror totalitarian states. The only way to change the direction America is heading, warns Von Campe, is to reject immorality and embrace "absolute moral standards, absolute honesty, absolute purity, absolute unselfishness and absolute love."<br /><br />Please support Independent Journalism and PrisonPlanet.TV which produced this interview.

Chris Christie "in the toolbox," and talking about how hard it is to fire a tenured teacher.<br /><br />Some Stats Comparing New Jersey and Virginia:<br /><br />In the <a href="http://www.nea.org/assets/docs/010rankings.pdf">NEA's statistical ranking of states</a>.<br /><br />Salary<br />New Jersey # 5 - 116.1% of national average<br />Virginia # 30 - 88.4% of national average<br /><br />Revenue Per Student<br />New Jersey #4 - $16,765<br />Virginia #15 - $12,653<br /><br />Interestingly the NEA ranks everything but school performance (which I assume means that revenue and teachers salaries don't equal quality results or I guarantee you that would be ranked)<br /><br />Are these multiple examples representative of the average government school teacher?<br />Could the description of the school conditions in New Jersey mirror those of Virginia?<br /><br />You be the judge...<br /><br /><br /><object height="325" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2NuLVvVb4oc?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2NuLVvVb4oc?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="325" width="400"></embed></object><br />Here is another video showing the teacher's union complicit in vote fraud. <br /><br />Let me break it down for you: The government of the United States at all levels, just like the Soviet Union... Just like Nazi Germany... Just like Cuba, North Korea, the UK, etc. has become corrupt at multiple levels. The government's school system has been designed to inculcate obedience to the government no matter how obviously corrupt it has become. The local and federal governments can engage in vote fraud, hand trillions to private banks and CIA front companies like AIG, openly torture, wage wars based on lies and manufactured intelligence, practice rendition, infect Tuskeege African Americans with Syphilis, etc. and the schools will gloss over it because the system has designed itself to make them accomplices. They are essentially getting paid by the local mafia to <span style="font-weight: bold;">not</span> explain the way the system works and keep inculcating the kids in obedience to it.HSLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11749484042172146288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362960104423751192.post-43937383217702809832010-10-19T20:24:00.000-07:002010-10-19T20:44:59.345-07:00International Best Selling Author Robert Kiyosaki Rips Government Education<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimnYXMMvrgVdGIERhKLdrlkS3u4vEBYzQlVZ4mjdVuqbpDZjoOc89jVuaFWOVKwHQn-bpW4Xl8qcDXf9Y-C_k05o61CPc574o36tg8ovLkO3L6GsVwZ3rmR_tohTfpzIcv3Y-m4nbldGIP/s1600/Robert_Kiyosaki_The_Business_School_For_People_Who_Like_Helping_People.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 332px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimnYXMMvrgVdGIERhKLdrlkS3u4vEBYzQlVZ4mjdVuqbpDZjoOc89jVuaFWOVKwHQn-bpW4Xl8qcDXf9Y-C_k05o61CPc574o36tg8ovLkO3L6GsVwZ3rmR_tohTfpzIcv3Y-m4nbldGIP/s400/Robert_Kiyosaki_The_Business_School_For_People_Who_Like_Helping_People.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529965946463717794" border="0" /></a><br /><br />International best selling author <a href="http://www.richdad.com/RichDad/RichContent.aspx?cpid=100">Robert Kiyosaki</a>, who has sold over <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">26 million copies</span> of his books including: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0446677450?ie=UTF8&tag=humanproducti-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0446677450">Rich Dad, Poor Dad</a>; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/9992267429?ie=UTF8&tag=humanproducti-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=9992267429">The Business School for People Who Like Helping People</a>; and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0446559806?ie=UTF8&tag=humanproducti-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0446559806">Rich Dad's Conspiracy of the Rich</a> RIPS the government school system and explains how it was set up by the Rockefeller's General Education Board to train the next generation to be the proletariat" and calls it the school system "The Biggest Communist Thing He Has Ever Seen" among other insightful observations.
