Reflections on Deconstructing EDUCATION AS INDOCTRINATION

July 21, 2023

 

When did the dumbing down of education begin?

Hmmm . . . Well, first of all, what does the word “education” actually mean, etmologically? I know we in our culture tend to follow the philosophy of John Locke, for whom a child’s mind is a “tabula rasa,” blank slate, and therefore to educate is to fill the child’s mind with “ideas” gleaned from the culture of which he or she is a part.

But what really, does the word education mean? Actually, the opposite! In western society, the original view of education hearkens back to the ancient Greeks, an inscription on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, and is often ascribed to Socrates: KNOW THYSELF.

In other words, to educate is “to pull out,” not “to put in.”

This changes everything.

It’s likely that the modern Lockean form of education came about with the industrialization of society, when peasants left their villages for the cities, to be trained in schools as obedient workers for fill various slots, like robots. Amazingly enough, all that is still around.

 

 

It may be that we will live to thank the woke folks, the folks who push CRT, trans, sex ed for third graders, masks and social distancing, for the demolition of education as “to put in,” i.e., as  indoctrination. Because an equal and opposite reaction to this nonsense was inevitable. Indeed, as far back as 2021, parents have begun to question the doctrine; and with that shift, you know the kids can’t be far behind with questions, questions . . .

 

 

 

Oh, and, for those who think themselves adults, but who were also indoctrinated by western education and did not manage to break through, and who therefore, consider Big Daddy Government (govern-mind), i.e., socialism, as the solution to all our ills, ponder this.

 

Next step, coming right up, digital currency.

 

Get it yet?

Which reminds me: I do wonder if Trump misjudged when he decided to screen Sound of Freedom and broadcast it to the world.

I presume he thinks that he can now actually do this without polarizing the world further; that, in fact, due to all the lawfare indictments against him a lot of people indoctrinated to hate him no longer do. True? I hope he’s correct.

If he’s right, then we are truly quite far along deconstructing the education as indoctrination agenda.

And furthermore, to hell with politics, it shouldn’t matter. Nothing should matter more than saving the world’s children from the horrors, formerly conducted in secret,  now blasting into the public arena. As should be.

Dedicated, passionate environmentalists, take note. We need you.

 

 

 

Okay. Enough of the tough stuff. Time to laugh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

OUR GREAT AWAKENING: Ukraine and Child Trafficking

July 20, 2023

 

These three offerings hit me hard.

The first hearkens back to yesterday’s post, and in the clearest possible terms describes Ukraine as the latest victim of predatory capitalism, while stressing the USG’s continuing neocon obsession with conquering Russia.

Why NATO was Obsessed with Ukraine and is Now in a Panic

Here’s a post that might serve as one welcome antidote to the above. A post by a reformed predator, John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.

Out With Predatory Capitalism, In With a “Life Economy”

Segue now to the latest offering by Martin Geddes, who, he confesses, is barely maintaining his mental and emotional well-being during this seemingly endless 5th generation mind war when all the mainstream structures of society, visible and invisible, are being decimated, their demolition unleashing untold volumes of dark, rotten secrets that poison air, water, soil, mind and soul.

And yet, you kept going and are still here

Excerpts:

“Many of us are weary at a deep soul level, and are experiencing the cumulative effect of micro-trauma, a kind of pervasive background hurt from the constant exposure to wickedness. The injuries are still disabling, just non-obvious and internal. We have been subjected to the most intense psychological and cognitive warfare ever conducted, including using artificial intelligence to manipulate minds and divide people via social media. There are neuroweapons on the battlefield, including EMFs, DEWs, nanotech, hypnotic devices, pharmaceuticals, GMOs, and poisons in our food and water. Pervasive war leads to new insidious harms.

“The “awake” stagger on, observing the mental harm and physical damage to their loved ones, who remain oblivious to the attack. Meanwhile, the mind violence is constantly reinforced via the mass media, as well as propaganda plastered on our roads, bus stops, store entrances, buildings, clothes, flags, products, and posters. Those who can perceive the hidden intent, and decode the symbolism, have to watch as those around them blindly follow its directions. Every single trip into the wider society involves some kind of encounter with the enemy’s mind control messages. There is no escape from this war, and no way to avoid confrontation with its harmful impact on the empathetic soul. The drain on one’s energy is endless.”

And here’s what strikes me: the extraordinary soul-based, faith-based, determination that kept the principals incubating the movie Sound of Freedom for eight long years, overcoming one obstacle after another, with a seemingly miraculous result: on July 4th, 2023, Independence Day for America, this film was introduced and continues to activate The Great Awakening by the millions. As Eduardo Verastegui, Executive Producer of (and actor in) this film, says, “This is not just a movie, it is a movement. A movement to change hearts, a movie that reaches souls.”

I thank Teresa for pointing me to this amazing interview. 

How might these two horrific aspects of current world dysphoria connect — Ukraine and Mexico/U.S.? Well, child trafficking is big business in Ukraine, too. And has been, for years. See this huffpost article from 2015.

Or this Newsweek article, from 2015, which speaks of trafficking going back to 1991.

I deliberately picked “leftist” publications to air this information, since so many people critique Sound of Freedom as right-wing palaver.

Bullshit.

The corruption is world-wide; so must the clearing be. And it starts within each of our hearts, our households, our neighborhoods. It really does seem as if this movie that narrates a single gripping story of heroic rescue of two innocent sex-trafficked children is the trigger that jolts the human race into remembering its divine origins.
