Although most adults who are aware of and speak out against the not so secret agenda of those behind our government, are often put down as crackpots. I find it highly, interesting and impressive, that so many young people who have yet to graduate, are aware that they are being systematically fed government propoganda. Some of them are making YouTube videos.
If you do not believe that the government is putting it's own spin on history and social lessons, you should watch some of them. They show actual pages from their text books, and share their opinions, which are far more educated and enlightened about what is going on in the world, than their counterparts, in the "adult" world.
As a product of the public school system, I experienced first hand many of the things that these kids are talking about, that are still happening in our school system. I saw kids beaten, not paddled, (although that is inhumane, as well. Picture children being lifted off the ground by the blows.). I saw kids cursed at, shoved into brick walls and lockers. I saw and experienced personally teachers trick kids into voicing their opinions only to have them ridiculed. The purpose of that was to smoke you out and then make an example of the ideas that are uncacceptable.I went to a school in a higher tax bracket, with mostly middle and upper middle class students and teachers.
And 20 years later, I unfortunately had my own children subjected to this same treatment and more.One of my children was beaten by other students and harrassed by both the teachers and principals. I had to seek medical treatment for my child, and when I complained to the principal, he said my child and I were both liars and that it never happened. We invented head and neck injuries. One of my children was abused and when I filed assault charges, I was visited by CPS, who proceeded to accuse me of bruising him and then blaming the teacher/coach. The interesting thing is, the bruises were hidden, with little chance of their being discovered if I had put them on my child. So, why would I go out of my way to draw attention to them? CPS served the function of putting my family back in its place.
There is a concerted effort to take away any belief systems that you might bring with you from home. They do this by overtly teaching you, that, since you are being taught in a more modern school system, you are smarter than your parents. If you are smarter, then you have no reason to respect your parents. Then they make sure you know that it then follows, that since they are smarter than you are, that they are the ones to be respected, i.e. feared.
Parents are not legally permitted to use any sort of corporal punishment on their children, but much more frequently than it is reported, our children are subjected to physical violence at the hands of those who we trust with their safekeeping for 3/4 of their lives(See news reports below). But the most pervasive violence is the attack on their psyches.
Their self esteem is damaged, by being taught that personal rights should be subject to the greater good. If a child is being bullied, they should be able to tell their teacher. Instead, often what happens is that they are accused of being a tattle tale. This is because the schools count on peer pressure to ensure conformity. This is called
collectivity.
If two students are talking to or harassing a third student, and the third student speaks, or complains, the third student is often the one who is reprimanded. They get notes sent home saying that they are the ones who are disrupting class. This is because they are the more vulnerable student, and therefore a prime candidate, to be singled out as an example of what not to do. Never, ever speak out, and make sure nobody can see that you are vulnerable. If you question something you are being taught, you are called down and shamed for original thoughts. This is not just something that happens because teachers are human and therefore subject to human nature. This is government policy and has been for many years.
Charlotte Iserbyt, Senior Policy Advisor for the Department of Education, under Reagan, has said that she was trained to look for "resistors" and once they were found, to try to bring them in line with the program. She also took part in what she called "the restructuring of American education as well as Global education." How often do you hear the term, "insubordination" in reference to students? To be subordinate, you have to be submissive to and controlled by authority.
Merriam-Webster Do we really want our children to be punished for not allowing themselves to be controlled by others? I taught my children that the best discipline comes from within, in the form of self-discipline. You should not do the right thing, because you fear punishment, but because it is the right thing, and the benefits of doing the right thing.
Much of our public education system, as it functions today, has the Rockefellers and their associates to thank for it's existence.
They established an organization called the General Education Board, part of the Rockefeller Foundation, and John D. Rockefeller, Sr. donated $1 Million dollars to it, initially, and it then became absorbed into the Slater and Peabody Funds.
Frederick Taylor Gates: "The object of this Association is to provide a vehicle through which capitalists of the North who sincerely desire to assist in the great work of Southern education may act with assurance that their money will be wisely used."
Frederick Taylor Gates: "In our dreams, we have limitless resources and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding bands. The present education conventions fade from their minds, and unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning, or men of science. We have not to raise up from among them authors, editors, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen, of whom we have an ample supply.
The task we set before ourselves is very simple as well as a very beautiful one, to train these people as we find them to a perfectly ideal life just where they are. So we will organize our children and teach them to do in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way, in the homes, in the shops and on the farm." From one of the Board's Newsletters.
Although, they have learned to hide their agenda, and opinion of the common people, the goals of public education have not changed. In defense of Rockefeller Sr., it is very likely, that he was used by people, who wanted his money to further their ideals. His health went down hill fast, due to the smear campaign against him that was printed in the press and by book authors. If he had been without conscience, he would not have cared what they wrote about him. On the other hand, his son and grandsons, are not so innocent, of maliscious intent toward the American people.
Modern medicine, including, psychology, psychiatry, cancer tretments, drugs and also educational methods, are a result of the fact that his money was almost limitless, and J.D. Rockefeller, Sr. had a desire to enhance his public relations, through philanthropy. The science and morals behind these systems is very dubious.
Psychology and the principals of it, dictate what is taught in the public school system, and is working it's way into private schools and home schooling, through government mandated educational standards.
Schools used to teach children, how to think conceptually, and to give them as broad a range of education as possible so that they might succeed in life. That was the goal of an education. Now, that we have psychology, they use it to make sure we have the beliefs, attitude and therefore behavior that they want us to have. They assure this, by force feeding us the idea, that how we feel, what our attitude is and what we believe in is more important to our happiness. We now concentrate on how we feel, instead of our ability to reason and think. Losing this ability to think, and lessening of our cognitive skills, is why students now score so much lower on standardized tests than they did a generation or two ago.
A definition of the word psychiatry is a good example of how, the system, has gradually been altering our understanding of certain subjects, and therefore, what we believe, and how we feel about them.
Psychology, comes from two root words, "psych" and "ology" which means the study of.
Originally, the word "Psyche" had the following definitions:
1. The spirit or soul
2. The human mind
3. In psychoanalysis, the mind functioning as the center of thought, emotion, and behavior.
"Soul" meant:
1. the spirtitual or immortal elements in a person
2, a person's mental or moral or emotional nature.
Oxford American Dictionary:
Psychology
1. the study of the mind and how it works
2. mental characteristics, can you understand his psychology?
Concise Oxford Dictionary:
1. a scientific study of the mind and its functions, esp. those affecting behavior in any
given context.
The last one implies a desire to understand how to control behavior.
American Heritage Dictionary:
1. The science that deals with mental processes and behavior
2. The emotional and behavioral characteristics of an individual or group
So we have moved from thinking that the psyche is the soul, to it's being how the mind works, to what causes you to behave the way you do and think what you do.
And in practice, psychiatry treats you by understanding your brain phsiology, chemistry and your genetics. None of those factor in the soul, or the invisible aspect of what makes up a human mind. Because to the scientific and materialistic person, if you cannot see it, it does not exist.
The psychiatric community, has a huge effect on the educational community, which in turn is responsible for writing dictionaries and thereby they have taken away from us the very idea that what makes up the human psyche or mind is intangible.
Psychiatry is actually a business with the purpose and intent to alter your, thoughts, attitudes and therefore, your behavior.
Why do they want to understand how to control our minds and behavior? Because, if they took away your material possessions, your social connections, i.e. family, friends, your ability to support yourself through a job, your physical health, if you lost limbs, you would still have an identity; your mind. Because your mind is intangible, people often associate it with religion, mysticism, and spiritualism, which are also intangible. That is why the first thing they removed from the definition of psychology was any association with the spirit or soul. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) basically says that there is no separation of mind and body, that the mind is not a separate entity.
"Although this volume is titled the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the term mental disorder unfortunately implies a distinction between "mental" disorders and "physical" disorders that is a reductionistic anachronism of mind/body dualism."\
While I readily admit that there is a definite connection between mind and body, I would ask, why do we have separate words for them, if they are not separate concepts?
Their aim is to remove, creativity, self-determinism(which is otherwise known as freedom),personal responsibility, morality, the ability to reason and a belief in the inherent value of life.
If you take away creativity, you are left with destructiveness. and violence. If you take away moral and personal responsibility, by teaching that it is all just human nature, controlled by biology, then you are left with persons committing all sorts of acts, who feel no remorse. The end result is a lack of social stability, and rampant mental problems.
The public school system is being used for behavioral manipulation instead of feeding the intellect. Instead of opening our minds, we are having our minds shut off and then closed. Think about it, what is your automatic response to the words, yogo, meditation, magic, alternative medicine, spiritualism, prayer?
A German man named,
Wilhelm Maximilian Wundt came up with the ideas that were the foundation of modern psychology. He decided that since you couldn't see a human soul, then it had no bearing on psychology, which was to only be concerned with experience. He believed man to have no spirit or self-determinism and he decided to prove that we are summed up by our experiences, and the external stimuli, that effect our conscious and unconscious mind. He took psychology from being a philosophical subject to being a physiological one.
To explain what self-determinism is, you can turn to
Merriam Webster, or you can just sum it up as the free will to decide how you will behave.
If we are considered to have no personality,or soul, it negates, your inner thoughts, feelings,ideas, hopes, dreams and your will. We went from, "I think, therefore, I am" to a study of the brain, and the central nervous system. The brain is not the mind.
Our educational system then went from finding out what your natural abilities were by teaching, languages,logic, history, literature, and rhetoric, to exposing a student to meaningful experiences in order to get the desired reaction.
The belief is that, since we don't have anything but, a brain, a nervous system and our bodies, the only way for us to learn is by having sensations in the nervous system. We learn to have the proper response. The scientific belief is that our environment is the cause of everything, and our behavior is the effect. So, as long as what they do ends in peace and order within society, that's all that matters.
Have you ever seen the Pink Floyd video for The Wall, where the children are peacefully and orderly walking into a meat grinder?
They simultaneously consider you to have no self-determinism, to be without, responsibility for your actions, and hope that they are correct. In order to assure that they are, they try to teach us to be that automaton. They are creating the reality, that they say is the reality.
But to return to the subject of a Rockefeller agenda, the man earlier quoted, Frederick Taylor Gates, became basically John D. Rockefeller's financial advisor. He handled any requests for money, and reinvested his money, and came up with the idea to use philanthropy to get rid of some of his money, and in return gain some better public relations.
"As a thank offering to Almighty God for the preservation of his family and household on the occasion of the destruction by fire of his country home at Pocantico Hills, New York, on the night of Sept. 17, 1902, my Father makes the following pledge:
Understanding that the total indebtedness of Teachers College at the present time amounts to $200,000 in round numbers, which same was incurred partly because of a deficit in last year's running expenses, and partly by reason of certain necessary repairs and alterations; as soon as he shall receive satisfactory evidence that this entire indebtedness had been wiped out my Father will contribute two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) as an endowment for the College.
Furthermore, during a period of two years from that date, my Father will duplicate, dollar for dollar, all contributions in cash made by others toward endowment, up to a total from him of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) ..." J.D. Rockefeller, Jr.
During the same year, a man named Thorndike, wrote, Educational Psychology:The original nature of man. He was later made a full professor and head of the department of educational psychology, at Columbia University'sTeachers College. He also wrote The Psychology of Learning and Individual Differences and Their Causes, the latter being about how, sex, race, ancestry, and training are what make us different. In his Educational Psychology, he refers to education as being a "form of human control."
He refers to the inborn tendencies that we all have and says, "The aim of education is to perpetuate some of them, to eliminate some, and to modify or redirect others. They are perpetuated by providing the stimuli adequate to arouse them and give them excercise, and by associating satisfaction with their action." He says that these inborn tendencies can be eliminated, "by withholding stimuli...or associating discomfort with their action." These tendencies can be "redirected" by "substituting...another response instead of the undesirable one...or attaching the response to another situation...which works less or no harm." He then says that the purpose of education is to use man's original nature against him, "as a means to changing him for the better---to produce in him the information, habits, powers, interests and ideals which are desirable."
In other words, education was to change from making information available to a student, so that they might use it in whatever means, they determined to be beneficial to them personally, into a means of changing our thoughts and behaviors into those that someone else decided was most desirable. And the information made available to us, would be of their choosing.
Also,that year, a man named John Dewey, became a member of the department of philosophy and also education, at Columbia University. A new concept evolved at Columbia called "Progressive Education."
He said that, "education is a process of overcoming natural inclination and substituting in its place habits acquired under external pressure."
Of course his writings color the old system of education as being the one that is repressive, by saying that teachers impose the "lore" that is written in text books upon their students. And he says that progressive education, teaches individuality, and through experience, focusing on the fact that the world is changing and because of that, the information/lore in the old text books is all out of date, and therefore questionable. But then he kind of lets the cat out of the bag by saying, "basing education upon personal experience" actually causes the student to be under the "guidance" of more, rather than less, people.These men at Columbia, were followers of Wundt.
As a direct result of Rockefeller money, Wundt's ideas, began to be taught to aspiring teachers and psychologists, and from there spread like a disease into our school systems.
Another member of the General Education Board, was Abraham Flexner. He had first worked for the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. While Flexner was with the Carnegie Foundation, he had done a study on the possible modernization of medical schools. Within the Rockefeller machine, The General Education Board, he would find the money to put his ideas to work.
Years later, in 1954, a Congressional Committee investigated how these non-profit foundations were effecting Americans. Norman Dodd was the Research Director. In a radio interview he gave in 1977, he said that he found in the archives of the Carnegie Endowment For International Peace the following:
"The only way to maintain control of the population was to obtain control of education in the U.S. They realized this was a prodigious task so they approached the Rockefeller Foundation with the suggestion that they go in tandum and that portion of education which could be considered as domestically oriented be taken over by the Rockefeller Foundation and that portion which was oriented to International matters be taken over by the Carnegie Endowment."
He went on to explain that they intended to change the way history was taught.
"They decided that the success of this program lay in the alteration in the manner in which American history was to be presented.They then approached four of the then most prominent historians--such as Mary and Charles Beard--with the suggestion that they alter the manner in which they were accustomed to presenting the subject. They [were] turned down flat...so they decide they [had] to build a coterie of historians of their own selection." This resulted in the Guggenheim Foundation, which endowed fellowships on professors, picked out by the Carnegie Endowment, and instructed on what to teach and how to teach it.These first 20 professors became the American Historical Association.
Not surprisingly, in 1928, the American Historial Association published a study that said the "future of this country belongs to collectivism and humanism."
Flexner, is responsible for the cessation of Greek and Latin being taught in public schools. He did not remove literature and history, but completely changed the method of teaching them.
Flexner had gone to Europe and particularly Germany, to observe how hospitals and medical facilities were run there, and what was taught. He became a big proponent of the German method. He was given millions of dollars on behalf of Johns Hopkins University, and through it began to develop the chemical driven modern medicine we have, to the detriment of homeopathic and alternative medicine. The General Education Board has given millions more to medical schools that further it's agenda, of discounting, homeopathic medicine, chiropractics, and other alternative medicine in favor or surgery and chemicals. One of the not so great results of this partnership between Rockefeller money, John's Hopkins, and the General Education Board, was the development of Ritalin, to treat problem children.
Every time the Rockefellers donate money to something it comes back three fold. For instance, with this drug/chemical oriented medical system, they profit because many of the key ingredients of this medicine comes from petroleum by products. John D. Rockefeller, Sr.'s father sold raw petroleum as a cure for cancer, and even listed himself as a physician in the city directory.
Under the younger Rockefellers, petroleum was marketed as a cure for constipation and it was called Nujol. It was discovered that Nujol caused the body to be robbed of fat soluble vitamins, which caused serious diseases. So rather than take it off the market, they added carotene to replace the fat soluble vitamins. The same company that made Nujol, made Flit, a fly killer and insecticide from the very same petroleum products. Thus began our merry go round ride of taking a pill to cure one disease, and another to counter the first pill. Eventually, psychiatry, backed by Rockefeller money, began to push drugs, manufactured by companies controlled by Rockefeller money.
Psychiatry convinces us of the illness, and creates the market for the drugs.
Flexner established a school called the Lincoln School, which was eventually moved to be close to the Columbia Teachers College, and paid for by the General Education Board. It was an experimental school, used to develop methods of teaching and textbooks, that fit in with their agenda. It is ironic and amusing to note that John D. Rockefeller, Jr. sent four of his sons to this school and both Laurence and Nelson have been quoted saying that they cannot read as well as they should, Nelson adding that he has to force himself to do it.
Having used the Rockefeller machine to gain control of the education system, they now have our children at a time when their attitudes are being formed. They control the ideas of this generation and those of future generations. It is not a coincidence that they put the emphasis on socializing students instead of educating them. Socialism is their end goal.
If you do not believe that socialism is the intent of these founders of the education system, take it from John Dewey's own words.
"All that society has accomplished for itself is put, through the agency of the school, at the disposal of its future members. All its better thoughts of itself it hopes to realize through the new possibilities thus opened to its future self. Here individualism and socialism are at one."
Watch some of these news stories about kids being abused, tasered, and etc. A few are put up by students themselves, but others are news reports.
