Dumbing Down of America - Down-breeding a nation

It's Pathetic How Education is a Meltdown

It's Pathetic that we are Dealing with
Down-breeding.

........Unconstitutional Federal meddling has contributed to America's recent educational decline but a return to the Founding era's mix of private and home schooling could turn the tide. Even to go back to the 1920's would make a big difference. Anything that would eliminate the Federal government's intervention and control. The Bush administration of 2001 is wrong in this area.
........In April 1983 a special presidential commission on education issued an alarming report entitled "A Nation at Risk". The grim reality of America's precipitous educational decline was revealed in a litany of disturbing failures. The report found that "some 23 million American adults are functionally illiterate."
........One must understand that the government needs to keep it this way in order to undermine the people into a submissive state in order that their numerous brainwashing techniques take hold. Basically this is a socialistic-Communist way of keeping the people under control and also the way to make a Capitalistic society fold. In addition this report pointed out that "about 13 percent of all 17 year-olds in the United States can be considered functionally illiterate." The report also took note that SAT tests "demonstrate a virtually unbroken decline from 1963 to 1980.
........Now if an unfriendly power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war. This actually is what the Marxist Manifesto (1924) had intended, and we can see that they have already won their war without shooting a weapon or losing a life. Actually the way the socialists, the liberal democrats particularly, operate today it is quite obvious that they belong to a sinister agenda with a goal to undermine their own people without even knowing. The liberals are unconscous and you can observe daily that they make excuses for everything, their behavior and anything they do which receives criticism. (Watch Fox News and observe the battle of truth versus liberal mindsets) They are not aware of their psychotic conditioning and actually believe that they are working for the country. Even leaders like Hitler and Mussolini believed that they represented the welfare of the people and only to higher conscious individuals such as this author does the absolute truth appear. There is no difference between Fascism and Socialism when it comes to sinisterism and isn't that pathetic!
........It's quite pathetic that the American educational system, being the most expensive in the entire world's history, is one big failure. Even to think that most Americans wish to keep it this way is truly pathetic! What is wrong is that the people themselves have a serious problem when it comes to their conditioning, addictions and even obsessive behavior which keeps them in a frenzy always looking for escapes rather than painful correction. Correcting the educational system is correction and their egos are to big to make the correction. Just imagine a prideful teacher in the school system needing to believe that she and the entire system has failed. It's just oo painful!
........It is a big catastrophe with no solutions but one and that is to eliminate it. Leave the educating to the parents and local boards is truly the only solution. The results have been as predictable as they have been disastrous not only in their actual learning capability but in an area of self-destruction, anger and the feelings of no future for the young adult. Suicide even becomes a pattern and to even kill their own friends has been happening lately (2001). The "dumbing-down" has taken place, and this author has also described it as "down-breeding" in Volume III, WorldsGreatestConspiracy.com". There is even an acceleration into this digression and the Nation is at more risk than ever.
........The Bush administration is also digging the hole even deeper by continuing the same pattern of federalism. He is providing for new spending, new legislature, centralizing and reforming to continue the use of the same teachers who have been brainwashed over the past forty years to filter into the children the notions of communism and now even homosexuality is an acceptable behavior (California law 2001).
........Bush's "No child left behind" is the game played by the New World Order to indoctrinate socialism into the minds of the young Americans. This president is duplicating the work of his father and the results speak for themselves - nothing but a failure and worse yet. The New American magazine describes this as a gigantic debacle. To create the New World Order one must bring the mentality of Americans down to their level which includes lack of spirituality, virtues and morality. Just imagine being at the same conscious level as the Russians, the Cubans and even the Chinese, and wouldn't that be pathetic!
........The constitution does not provide for any federal involvement in education, and actually the 10th amendment prohibits such involvement. The intervention of federalism in education has resulted in a total disaster. We can only expect the worst and only when parents come out of the closets and express their distaste the inevitable will arrive even sooner as the nation collapses into a third class level with all the others around. Actually some of the other countries now have a better educational system but it is the comparing of the spiritual level of consciousness that truly matters not how much one is educated into rote which only displaces common sense anyway.
At one time the liberals even denounced the idea of federalism in the schools. It was about 1958 with the passage of the National Defense Education Act, that the federal government first stuck its nose into schools. With every federal initiative from that time on we saw the indicators demonstrating the slide of American education. All the teachers are to blame too because they are also only interested in how much they earn rather than what they are teaching and how they teach. This author remembers his wonderful education in a boy's school in England during the 1940's and early 1950's. At that time the children had respect for the teacher and respect for their parents. It did not make any difference how many children had been in the classroom at that time, even as many as fifty-five but they all turned out brilliant. The feds. have been saying, "Cut this classrooms down to twenty" with even worse results. Now you can understand where the problem truly exists in the teaching and attitudes.
........It exists in the corrupt nature the people not in the educational system itself. You just cannot get out something that does not exist there in the first place.
We can go back a long way and see that Americans were far better off before the intrusion of Washington into education. In 1765, John Adams said," A native of America who cannot read or write is as rare an appearance..... as a comet or an earthquake."
........Today (2001) illiteracy is rampant. All of the evidence proves that John Adams did not over exaggerate.
........The following comes from Managers of Virtue: Public School Leadership in America, 1820 -1980 (1982) and provides this favorable description of education in our young Republic:
Americans had been the most literate people in the world at one time. In the 1840 census, about 90 percent of white adults were listed as literate. A recent study of a 1860 census showed that 94 percent of free males were literate and among these the older men were only slightly less literate than the younger ones, indicating that instruction had been widespread even early in the nineteenth century.
........In the early nineteenth century, citizens tended to have an attitude towards education that Americans today have towards religion: attend the school of your choice. The choices reflected differences of class, religion, ethnicity, race, sex and regional tastes and needs. Benevolent societies and churches sometimes aided by governments established charity schools for children whose families were too poor to afford schooling.
........A useful picture had been provided by "The Colonial Experience 1607 - 1774 " from "A Basic History of the United States (1983) by Clarence Carson: The Boston Latin School started in 1635 where the ages of the students were about 7 to 15 (grammar school). This had been similar to elementary and junior high schools but that is where the similarities ended.
The catering to the teachers union specially in California has obviously resulted in the poor education for our students. This is now a political agenda which comes before the good of the people. This is well observed with Gray Davis governor of California (2000) who has a pot full of money from the teachers union to maintain the status quo and even the initiating of homosexual education. One must ask, "Is Davis a (censored) to have done such an act of regression against his oath of office?"
Now those who were admitted to the schools in 1635 had already learned to read and write, and the schools were devoted to the studying of Latin and the literature written in it. The older students studied Greek. This had been a preparation for college. Harvard College started in 1636 where the early curriculum consisted of logic, rhetoric, Greek, Hebrew, ethics and metaphysics....basically the continuation of Classical and Biblical studies.
The American colonists rarely confused schooling with education and they would not have tolerated today's immoral, intellectually bankrupt zoos that are now fraudulently passed off as public education institutions.
........There was no state imposed education and it was a family responsibility in Colonial America. It was left entirely up to the individual. There were no compulsory attendance laws enforced by the governmens. Most children received their early education at home where they were taught to read, write and figure, and would also be trained in housekeeping if girls and for boys the task to make a living. In many colonies there were church schools and schools provided by charity or schools maintained by several large families. They taught trades and professions by serving apprenticeships under someone who had mastered them. In the 1040's in England, this author learned under a divided educational system where the boys were separated from the girls for good reasons. Focusing on education and not other things defineitely provides for a better learning environment. Pathetically this is not happeniong in America. The fundamental changes which must be made in today's educational system must be recognized from that which really worked many years ago but is not in the sights of the present day's administration because the administration itself is fundamentally corrupt for self-serving reasons. A

........Also at the age of ten this author had to pass a test to go to the higher education level (Grammar School). Those who did not pass went to a trade school or at least had the opportunity to learn a trade at that school and pick the one of their choice. This author graduated high school (known then as Grammar School) and entered pre-college at the age of sixteen. He spent two years in pre-college and then one year at a job before going to America to the University of Southern California to complete six years of college at the age of twenty-two and then to become a businessman in several pharmacies.
........Only one fourth of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation and the Constitution attended college. George Washington was educated by his father, Benjamin Franklin by his father and a private school and Thomas Jefferson by a tutor.

They all held their own when it came to European intellect. For sure they dwarf - in erudition, eloquence, imagination, integrity and common sense - the political figures of our modern era. Just comparing Bill Clinton must be an embarrassment to those in America not true to any absolute truth. This author has for years been expressing the condition of the corrupted mindset of today which lacks common sense, perception, intuition and any good reasoning. What had been present over two hundred years ago has today disappeared as the society has given into "it" - addictions, materialism and power overcome with emotions and fear.
........Left-wing historians have portrayed the Founders as a cabal of high-born silver spoon aristocrats conspiring against the common man. Some had been born into considerable wealth and that is always the nature of prominent leaders as seen as follows:
William Floyd and Lewis Morris of New York, George Read of Delaware, William Paca and Charles Carroll of Maryland, George Wythe, Thomas Jefferson and Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, John Hancock of Massachusetts, and Edward Rutledge and Thomas Hayward of South Carolina were of this origin. However many were not.
........The author wishes to bring this out to illustrate that the difference today is the dysfunctional mindset which has become more and more dysfunctional while the society's backbone broke down losing sight of the difference between right and wrong, and education detriorated by way of an evil undermining. We have devil-oped inferior downbreeded people who have become leaders in a corrupt way. This is the only way they have learned from their parents. We had them hundreds of years ago but what we are now looking at is America and how it all began with basic common sense which we do not find today. Children graduate today from high school without common sense and even lack basic reading and mathematic skills.
........Here is a list of different origins from our Founders of 1776. Many of the Founders had come from humble (some even destitute) origins. They had fully availed themselves of the educational; opportunities at hand. Many were self-taught:
Roger Sherman of Connecticut: His father died when he was 19 and the whole care and support of a large family devolved on him. He had been apprenticed to a shoemaker and then took charge of the farm his father left him. He had earlier limited education (but his commons sense remained), but with a naturally strong and active mind he acquired a large stock of knowledge from books, during his apprenticeship. He would have that book next to him all the time. He had no guide or instructor in the study of law and borrowed them and yet became one of the most profound jurists of his day. This is what we must call converse to patheticism!
Francis Hopkinsons of New Jersy: His father died at fourteen. His mother then took care of a large family of children where the income was not enough. His mother took care of his education until he could go to college in Philadelphia. He commenced the study of law after leaving college and began practicing in 1765.
Dr.Benjammin Rush of Pennsylvania: His father dies when Benjamin had been only 6 years old. He was left with his brother. She did not have adequate means to educate him and he was placed in the hands of Rev. Dr.Findlay. When completed his studies he entered Princeton College and took his degree at the age of sixteen.
George Walton of Georgia: He had a limited early education and at the age of fourteen had been a apprentice to a carpenter. He had an inquiring mind and a thirst for knowledge. His master gave him no time to read during the day or even no lights at night. He then used torchwood for light and spent his evenings in study. He then went on to study law and became an eminent barrister.
In an 1817 survey of Boston we had 96% of the children in several schools and the rest had charity schools, therefore there had been no justification for any public school system which the Unitarians (socialists) had tried to formulate. The opposition to socialism was from a Bullfinch who had moral issues. He claimed that public primary schools were unnecessary because most parents who sent their children to private tuition schools did not look upon the expense as a burden and paid out of love and a sense of duty. This in turn made them better parents. If the public had paid for the education, the parents would have had less interest and payed less attention to the business of education.
........This is the way the socialists of America destroyed the minds of most of the children by making parents avoid their responsibility for education and by leaving it to the socialists allowed a brainwashing to occur and even to produce lengthy college curriculums and unnecessary fruitless studies which today cannot even be used for the future of the graduate. As the moral aspect of taking care of your own children disappeared when it came to education, the American socialist government grew and at the same time weakened the minds of all who gave into this patheticism we have today. In actuality, because of the public school system even America which is supposed to be Capitalistic is close to being ruled by Communism because of this particular mind-control phenomenon over the children. Because of the inferiority complex and lack of self-esteem coming from the dumbing-down affects we have gangs, crime, children killing children. One cannot mix this with the materialistic attitude which we see in most American families of 2001. More gambling and lotteries have also created a big dent in the morality of most Americans increasing the addictive state of mind and reducing the consciousness to a very low level.
........By giving power to the government and giving up the personal responsibility of parents to teach their own children themselves and even to watch over the way they are being educated has led to a disastrous time for America. Not only does America have so many other problems with pornography, homosexuality and pedaphilia, addictions to drugs, too much entertainment and gambling but with the creation of no mind of one's own and poor basic understanding and communicating skills we have created the beginning of the collapse of the society which Americans were proud of at one time.
........What we could have done to make parents better parents, even by having the education we have within these Volumes, we should have thought of the necvessity for correction or even a slight improvement not to leave the responsibility to undesirable people in Washington who have only one thing in mind but to rule and undermine while they feed upon their power trip with infidelity and coercion in order to unconsciously bring the country down even faster. They are guilty in Washington, and guilty people self-destruct into life-styles which are not deserving of any reward. America needs to wake up and make changes now. If they do not, it will surely be pathetic!
........We have seen in recent years how the bureaucrats have learned to isolate themselves from change and even make laws in their favor. It took many years for them to reach this pedistal of corruption. Seduce their constituents in believing anything and then move on in their own style. They have gone along with their own gradual change to arrive at where they are today. They have passed laws to educate children into accepting homosexuality in California even against the will of the parents. As these bureaucrats grew in power from one generation to the next they built a defense from the mainstream family influence in order to arrive at their own agenda to produce dumbed-down citizens who they can now control. A democracy no longer exists. Sinisterism pathetically rules today especially in governments. With sinisterism at the top this evil trickles back into the family environment and we arrive at the final goal of the alien identity which is an entire down-breeding of men, women and chilren totally addicted to everything within an abusive educational system.
........Bullfinch, who had morality in his mind, argued that the office of instruction belongs to parents, and that to the schoolmaster is delegated a portion only of the parental character and rights. In the times of this author's education, there had been a schoolmaster who actually had mastered the true moral principles of education. Today (2001) we have principals who follow their indoctrinations of socialism and personal feelings of insecurity. The scholastic success in the colonial years came from the parents and not from public education which always would contain subversive activity. This had been known two hundred and fifty years ago and this message is pathetically lost today because the authorities today are under the control of "it" even in an unconscious way - not to forget what spell the people are under. When people become conscious of sinisterism and how dysfunctional they can be then they can change the direction of education and other serious subversive activities. With self-denial so powerful today and with the use of psychotherapeutic drugs there is little hope without a very painful experience or disaster, These volumes of books written by Dr.Roy Foster have the basic ingredient for change but if not accepted there cannot be change. It takes going back to insight and perception, our original Creator's gifts, to weather this storm.
........Illegal migration is just another means to arrive at the end much more quickly. Even the new administration is going along with this down-breeding which has now changed Colonialism and the Republic into a third world nation. The bureaucrats have lost all vision of reason and America's sovereignty has been undermined now for nearly seventy-five years. They have been pecking away at the Constitution for sometime and even are going against it within the Federal Educational ideology. Education is in the hands of the government and even if the feds. loosen up the local levels are no different until the parents can take it over to have any hope. Isn't that pathetic!
........In the times of the colonies the parents did much teaching at home. We are beginning to see this growing and you will see how the bureaucrats will try hard to stop this. Teachers in America are brainwashed into educating the children not what is best for them but what will make the system control their minds. The teachers are so unconscious that they are not aware of what is happening to their country. Worrying about their own particular security and how much they must make and the union's power is a serious problem. This is what we have today. How pathetic!
In the time of the colonies, rural areas taught their children at home and even the urban areas did the same. In America's early history, it was the mixture of homes schools, tutors, academics, church schools, charity schools, apprenticeships and so on that produced the incredible intellectual flowering which became the base for America's growth.
........With too much intellectualism, we later created the downfall of today because it devil-oped the ego and this has not been understood otherwise they might have placed a damper on this. The basic dumbing-down which arrived had come from the complete lack of understanding of why the human mind can deteriorate spiritually from the overemphasis of rote learning and pride. This digression of a society is unconscious although the move of the sinister aspects have a consciousness that expands upon the power given to "it". It is frightening to see that evil can dominate a society which is supposed to be very intelligent but it is the intelligentsia that crates the unconscious mind-set and further self-denial of absolute truth. Over educating useless materials into young minds produces the down-breeding of spiritual humans into animallike entities who live from feeling life not from doing that which is correct. We have pathetically arrived at that !
........Today 2001, we have college graduates who struggle to read and comprehend The Federalist Papers. As a comparison we saw master essays by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay intended for the common man and these were first published in the local newspapers and were widely read by the general population. With The Political Sermons of the American Founding Era (1990) and American Political Writing during the Founding era (1983) we have found that most college graduates today find the rich vocabulary, sophisticated argumentation, complex concepts, references to Greek and Roman antiquity and literary allusions in these political speeches, debates and church sermons of two centuries ago very humbling.
........The McGuffey Readers first published in 1830's with over 120 million copies sold.... these venerable textbooks were the backbone of American pedagogy for over 90 years - until being supplanted by Dick and June, and other similar tripe. The McGuffey Readers employed sound phonics instruction methods and presented literature worth reading that inspired and elevated students. Most important was that the Readers unabashed moralizing and had "evening prayer" something completely forgotten and to be eliminated in public schools. The basis of meditating and being silent for a few minutes is the rule for raising one's consciousness. You will never see this in the schools of today if they remain public. By eliminating meditation and minutes of silence, the sinister movement keeps people under control. Once upon a time people were able to stay conscious through their religion and meditations but today it has disappeared into hypocritical life-styles which feed on the dumbed-downs and makes way to different forms of Communism. Even the past Russian leader Gorbachev is free to lecture all over America and isn't that pathetic! You can see just from this how America has become unconscious and the poor education has made a big dent in any true democracy left.
........The Readers would write: "At the close of day, before you go to sleep, you should not fail to pray to God to keep you from sin and from harm.....You should thank him for all the good gifts and learn while young, to put your trust in him and the kind care of God will be with you both in your youth and in your old age." Of course these were not politically correct books but the Christian religion was the religion of the country. Today it is a country of many religions without the respect needed for the Christian religion. The migration of millions of people who still have an allegiance to their past do not humble themselves to America's original culture and have actually undermined it as a requirement of sinisterism. Amnesty adds to it and what do they care. They had nothing when they left and were taught to resent those who were decent and respectful only to now express anger on a weakening society similar to the Romans two thousand years ago. There is no love for America because America has changed and no longer makes morality and virtue important. The honor and respect has diminished. It is now pathetically what you can get away with!
........McGuffey was only echoing the solemn convictions and plain wisdom of the Founders. George Washington had said in his Farewell Address: "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education.....reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles." There must be a return to these convictions, principles and truths, and a return to the proven educational methods of years ago....definitely not in the rush to vast and costly new expansions of the Federal Education Leviathan which we see to day.

This author had called his congressman and told him to stop this trend and go back to the way it used to be in the author's days when there had been respect for the teacher and an appreciation to be able to learn, as a gift from Creator. At that time about sixty years ago the teachings had not been subjected to subversive activities to any major extent.

........Education in the United States is being dumbed down deliberately now for many years. Since the Communist Manifesto had been written about 80 years ago it has been a gradual affect but accelerating as the officials became change agents. The effects of the Alien Identity which controlled the Communist party in Russia for so many years to have moved into the Western Regions of the world is now quite visible in America. Sixty Minutes TV program November 4th 2002 finished by stating," Russians are good people. Russians are nodifferent than Americans."

Article from The New American - February 14th 2000

........Charlotte Iserbyt, an education watchdog since before her days in Reagan's Education Department, argues that the academic meltdown in public education is intentional.
........In addition to her work with the U.S. Department of Education during 1981-1982 (now 20 years ago) she served overseas with the American Red Cross during the Korean War and with the U.S. Department of State from 1956-63. She is a free-lance write specializing in education and has seen her work appear in numerous publications including The New American . Her new book The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, contains a wealth of documentation indicating that the moral and academic crises in public education are not accidental but by design.

........This author had written his first book in 1992 explaining how education is a conspiracy. He had not known of Charlotte and would have given it the attention it deserved. The entire world is under the control of an Alien Identity which has a direct relationship with every ego. This must be considered the "world's greatest conspiracy" because it is never spoken about in the open either in homes, in the schools or even in religions. Never will you find any articles or TV programs discussing this because this "news" is the most devastating for the Alien Identity which controls the minds of most individuals upon this earth unaware to them.

......When one of my two sons brought home a questionnaire from school about his and our family's values she knew something was wrong. (1970) Then she saw incredible things going on in the schools: Kids rolling around on the floor; self-concept training; all the fuzzy, mushy, touchy-feeling type instruction. She also discovered that the school district was led by a Harvard-trained superintendent who later admitted to me that he considered himself a change agent.

........This author had realized at about the same time what was wrong with the system and America as a whole. He had changed his life through several years of group therapy and some one-on -one with psychiatrists and psychologists not forgetting the spiritual minister who truly made it happen. He simply woke up and even experienced exorcisms. They were mild exorcisms because this author did not have the chronic trauma conditioning found in most people today. For most people this would mean much more aggressive exorcisms to get rid of the Alien Identity and most of the sinister elemeWhat has been going on for so many generations in the modern era of America and for even thousands of years is this undermining of the spiritual soul and only for the interventions by Creator has the undermining been kept at a more constant level but what we are seeing today is an accelerating slide as the cultural indices indicate. (www.Empower.gov) In actuality the evil of socialism empowers most people to actually undermine that which Creator had produced for us within our conscience and original gifts of common sense, intuition and perception. Realization is another gift because without this there is no relief from the stronghold of the Alien Identity in all of us. Realization leads to salvation and forgiveness.

Article continued.........

........She began complaining to the principal and the school board about several programs, even about the curriculum itself. After two failed attempts to get elected to the school board, she won a position in 1976. She said that she had to laugh now because they counted votes three times in hopes of finding that she had not triumphed. Soon, a retired public school teacher came to her and asked her to attend an in-service training conference entitled "Innovations in Education" An ally, she even paid for her to attend. That conference was a real eye-opener and she had been on her "white horse" ever since.

.........This author must point out here that he believes that whenever there happens to be a change for the good there must be an intervention by Creator. For the conscious ones, we have always seen the constant undermining by evil elements with the resulting illnesses (Alzheimer's), diseases, wars and death. For the sake of humanity and its existence for thousands of years it is quite obvious that evil exists otherwise there would never be pain and suffering and the final reward of death. Why would Creator let us all go through that unless we disobeyed his orders and possibly this life of ours is an experiment or test of courage and obedience to Creation. Ask yourself, "What is my purpose in life?" There are many questions which need to be asked and be answered and they are never even in the basic religions as people go back and forth from the church, synagogue and temple never changing their sinisterism. When Charlotte triumphed this was a pure sign of intervention and even a miracle, but was is pathetic is that to what extent did this accomplish anything. This author had written a book in 1992 which had a difficult time reaching people because of the barriers of the Alien Identity and its control over the minds of most people. Absolute truth cause resentment and anger and as soon as this appears the self-denial sets in and no longer does the absolute truth have any effect. It just stops right there.

Article continued.............

........At the conference all attendees were given a copy of The Change Agent's Guide to Innovations in education, the bible for bringing our change in our schools and communities, written by Ronald Havelock of the University of Michigan. They were even taught how to identify resisters and, because this is precisely what she was, they were unknowingly teaching her how to identify herself. Part of the instruction dwelled on techniques to influence community leaders - businessmen, service club members, doctors and others - to gain their support for the introduction of absolutely disastrous programs. This manual, funded by the U.S. Office of Education (the forerunner of the department of Education), gave suggestions about how to "sneak in" controversial and "innovative" methods of teaching in such areas as health education, drug and alcohol education, sex education, critical thinking education and other types of "education".
........At this point, it occurred to her that no one ever termed math courses "math education" or reading courses "reading education". From that day forward, she had been suspicious of any school course that has the word "education" attached to it. But that's a small point. She had lived in socialist countries and traveled in Communist countries. And here she was being taught at federal expense to identify "resisters" who were opposed to these socialistic dumbing-down proposals.

........This demonstrates how the conspiracy truly exists and in such an extensive way that those who try to believe in conspiracies must have a difficult time to think that such a widespread conspiracy could exist today in America and even worldwide. This author has come to a conclusion after so many years of being aware of such a phenomenon that the Alien Identity has such an intrinsic power that it possibly comes from an extraterrestrial power. We could question this to fully understand this discovery. How could so many millions of people stay in a self-denial mode constantly listening to a power which controls their mind and where so many are together doing the same thing? (This is explained by the basic principle of the spiritual mind and how it functions and relates to conscience the one source of Creator in the human entity)
........It is a known fact that now for so many generations possibly back to 1920's we have a subversion by socialism in America which has grown into every corner of education, government and the media. For sure it can be seen in movies. It has been done so subtly that most citizens are unconscious of this phenomenon. A few people have been able to "resist" but as a whole the entire nations education is under its web.
........Only by chance did this author find the article from The New American July 2001, almost a year and a half past. He is happy that he is not the only one discovering absolute but where is this all going and how does the "news" reach a mind that is open to listen.

Article continued...........

Did she have any success as a member of the local school board? Her efforts succeeded in banning values clarification, putting an end to subjecting the children to survival games, and introducing a mere five minutes of grammar instruction per day, which was all they would allow for such a vitally important subject. Nevertheless, two weeks after she left everything she had worked to accomplish was overturned.

........Now you can see how deep-rooted the conspiracy is and what we are dealing with to day. In order to create correct change we are confronted with a very demonic Alien Identity because as the conspiracy brings together the same characters as a group, a club a cult or any form of government itself they all feed upon their own corruption and evil elements and never die. This is seriously pathetic. It is another great patheticism to which to be confronted. The experience of Charlotte in the local board is living proof of the conspiracy's existence. This should be quite frightening for you to read such a discovery. If you resist this, you are under "its" control.

........What else were she asked to do while working for the OERI? Hundreds of these mind-altering, values-destroying programs were funded out of her office. ED sent a huge catalog entitled "Programs that Work" to every facilitator center in the United States. These programs were then introduced into classrooms everywhere. Of course, what ED urged stood in stark contrast to the desires of virtually all local school boards. She had arrived at the funding and philosophical source of what she had objected to as a local school board member: the death-mentality survival games; "no right/no wrong" values clarification; behavior modification; globalist education; non-absolutist critical thinking. It did not take her long to realize that she was not going to be able to stop any of it.

........What is so pathetic is that this author does believe that it may be impossible or too late to destroy the powers of the Alien Identity as the conspiracy is now within a stronghold of millions and millions of powerful people who make the decisions for millions of others who have no minds of their own. Mark these words that 9/ll World Trade Tragedy and the "Sniper" of 2002 are the responsibility of our inadequate and dysfunctional government containing those same individuals. All these changes seem to be typical of the creation of a Communist mindset and just as the Communist Manifesto has said in 1924, "We will destroy capitalism within without the need to have even a war." This has already been accomplished and now we do not know if the conspiracy is still riding high in the George W.Bush administration. Is their education plan consistent with the same ideology which is to brainwash the children into destructive behavior patterns? Is America near to having an order of Big Brother which had been written many years ago by George Orwell?

........Charlotte wrote the "resister's book" as a compilation of information from a variety of sources going back over many years. It contains statements and position papers issued by individuals and organizations that are deliberately and maliciously working to achieve behavioral changes in students which will ultimately have virtually taken over the schools of America which are certainly not providing what is commonly understood as education. They are dispensing subversive indoctrination.

........This author now demonstrates how this book, the "resister's book" is even being resisted by them and "it" the Alien Identity. It does not seem to be noticed or is it still available. Check around and see if you can find it.... The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America. If you find it difficult to locate, you know that the conspiracy is truly working at its best.

........The overall goal is that they seek to destroy absolute values and cast aside the importance of right and wrong that form the basis of any stable and free society. In other words, they want to undo what our nation's founders established. To achieve this goal, they seek to train our children precisely as animals are trained, through a Pavlovian conditioning process innocuously called outcome-based. (performance-based) education. Those who are "trained" instead of being educated receive tangible rewards for their "correct" answers. A distinct result of such programming is fear to take the principled or controversial stand, or at least a disinclination to do so because there is no reward forthcoming. This is how animals are trained. But human beings are possessed of free will, have intellects, soul and consciences, and are not mere brute animals. For years, the schools have been giving children this non-absolutist trash and it has ultimately resulted in such horrors as the Columbine massacre.

........The author's first book : "World's Greatest Conspiracy", Volume I, emphasizes absolute. He brings in the initials APT and AST as absolute pure and spirituals truths. He discusses that without an absolute there is no truth but illusions and fantasies. He brings out that fantasizing is dangerous and that even sinister elements exist in Disneyland.

Note: Fox News TV Channel had interviewed an author who wrote that fantasizing is good for children (Haloween).

He brings out the fact that with sinisterism we have backward thinking as a phenomenon which must be recognized, where right is wrong and wrong is right. This is typical of socialism and liberal thinking. They always argue the facts. Charlotte has truly said it well in this article section above. Her words are well taken and rewarding to find another human entity who sees the light. How unpathetic this is. However, how pathetic it is to have America come to this point where education is nothing but a "dumbing down of the children".

........When Charlotte was in Washington at the time of Reagan did she expect that the Department of Education would be abolished. (This was a time when William Bennett had been in the position of secretary of education)? That's what we wanted and that's what had been promised. Recall that throughout 1980 candidate Reagan had stated his intention to do away with both the Department of Education and the Department of Energy. But once elected, he appointed Terrell H.Bell as Secretary of Education. Bell had been the Commissioner of Education in the old office of education during the Ford Administration. He had actually lobbied Congress for the creation of the new cabinet-level ED during the Carter years. Then in 1982 a courageous colleague , National Institute of Education (NIE) Director Edward Curran, recommended the NIE, the research and development arm of the ED from which most of the destructive programs emanated, be abolished. Bell immediately fired him. Any expectation anyone still had that ED would be abolished disappeared completely.

........One should investigate the background of Bell and see if he is a member of the CFR. He unmistakably is one of them. George W.Bush today is strong on education but has yet to show signs of turning things around which is so badly needed. Is he too a member of the CFR and a New World Order man? We shall see. Reagan had been the last president to see through the Order and he was not one of them. Some say that he was not shot by Hinckly but by a secret service man and then threatened if he did not follow the Order. Possibly this is what occurred and now he has Alzheimer's because of his need to conform knowing all the time of the conspiracy that kept him in a hold. The conscience sooner or later catches up with the soul and rational mind and has its damaging effects. It is always a serious matter when a top government official lies to his people and the end result nearly always is a severe punishment as seen for so many presidents of America and leaders such as Hitler and Mussolini. Bill Clinton's stange demise is yet to come, not to forget Hillary's too.
........In this case Reagan should have kept his promise but failed the people and his Creator and landed with a serious brain disorder. This change of mind affected millions and millions of children placing them all in the hands of the Alien Identity and the conspiracy between man's ego and evil. Bell for sure had been a member and of course fired the courageous Curran.

........She acquired the materials in her book while she served at ED. She saved and copied many of the documents crossing her desk. Eventually expecting to be dismissed, she started storing them in the home of a friend. When the hammer dropped on her she had already what she needed. Plus, she had acquired many friends throughout their nation who have supplied her with the product of their own valuable research.
........After her dismissal, she went on a nationwide speaking tour an spoke in 40 different states explaining the federal education agenda. She knew that the parents were being told that they were taking things out of context when they objected to something going on in the schools. They needed direct quotes from official documents drafted by the suverters themselves. They needed to know that there is a deliberate plan to dumb down their kids and to destroy the nation's values - a two-pronged plan to destroy this country. Her book provides the ammunition necessary to help the growing number of citizens who wish to expose these planners and keep America free. She doesn't want any American ever again to be confronted with "That's your opinion" when they object to the outrages which their children are being subjected. If they have her book, they can document their "opinions."
The following are specific examples from her book of the kind of information needed by parents in order to show deliberate design in the effort to remake American education. For a full week during the summer of 1974, members of the Chief State School Officers Institute representing the 50 state educational departments met at a plush resort in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. They were given recommendations by an array of top leaders of the U.S. Office of Education and other invited specialists such as Alvin Tofler and Willard Wirtz. The report coming from the conference, published and funded by the federal Office of Education states that "technology has created a new relationship between man, his education, his society" - a relationship in which "the home, the church" cannot meet current challenges. Conclusions reached at the conference included the following: "Individuals need more ... participating in group decision making": "problems of the future must be solved based upon values and priorities set by groups"; the states should ...provide alternatives to earning the high school diploma"; " educational credit should be available to students for activities related to their studies in work, volunteer action, community participation, school volunteer programs and other programs contributing to the betterment of the home, school, community and society." These are precisely the type programs that are now enshrined in virtually all of the nation's schools.
Did the U.N. set out from its creation to influence the U.S. educational system? In 1946, within a year of the founding of the U.N. a Canadian psychiatrist names Brock Chisholm spoke before the organizations's World Health Organization (WHO) on "The Psychiatry of Enduring Peace and Social Progress." In his talk, he actually recommended " their interpretation and eventual eradication of the concept of right and wrong." By 1948, when Chisholm was serving as the executive director of WHO's Interim Commission, the journal International Conciliation published his 1946 speech. It contained a glowing preface by his good friend, Communist spy Alger Hiss. Chisholm wanted all teachers retrained in the psychiatric methods. It is from this type of thinking combined with the pervasive influence of UNESCO, that behavioral science and values clarification programs were created and introduced into America's schools.

........This author has been writing for over ten years about his Nobel worthy discoveries which came from his personal experiences. The main cause of dysfunctionality and inadequacy of any human being is based upon a psychotic condition which is created at childhood by a corrupted environment. When the child changes its natural innocent state of mind (altered) it fails its original purpose and allegiance to its Creator (through temptation). While doing so it permits sinisterism to grow in the form of an Alien Identity. This AI is obviously present in everyone because we are sure that an evil exists and the name Satan has come to describe it. The child unknowingly leads his life into a unconscious state, somewhat hypnotic, and then permits a transfer of the parent's identity to enter. It generally takes in the identity of the parent it most dislikes or even hates. The hating often is derived from the most overbearing and manipulative parent. Often this parent can be called the "control freak" because this parent is emotionally out of control and must control all others in order to feel comfortable in his or her "zone" which he or she had created for himself or herself to feel comfortable while in such an evil state of mind. For this reason we establish cults, religions, parties and the Communist party which significantly harbors evil. Not foregetting the liberals too.
........In the article about Charlotte, we are directly dealing with a Communist agenda. This agenda and ideology came about as the capitalists forgot to establish a spiritual base for their people (lacked values). The need for security, feelings and power (greed) began to grow in their particular "curriculum" (see www.MentalGrowth.com for the curriculum needed in today's society). While materialism began to make capitalism what is it today, the people who lived within capitalism failed spiritually permitting the Communist agenda to even grow within their system. Russia had not needed to win a nuclear war but to filter through its ideology into America in a subtle way as Americans themselves began to be victims of their Alien Identity to unknowingly subvert the entire process especially within education and by way of brainwashing techniques.
........The lack of values has been at a peak these past decades. The indices put out by Empower America and the Heritage Foundation (www.Empower.org) have now shown for more then ten years the deterioration of attitudes in the teenager. The teachers themselves must contend with an Alien Identity with no knowledge that "it" exists and therefore add to the digressive environment in the schools. The books written even have essential materials removed which would provide a diversity necessary for a healthy mind. Teachers need to look at themselves and their personal problems because they function as a very important part of the lives of the children.

Too many years have gone by and the effects of brainwashing and breaking down the good standards which had existed already for two hundred years were now being minimized and America is now dominated by dysfunctional attitudes, psychoses and a lack of emotional control. The Alien Identity survives by way of emotions such as anger, hate, resentment and envy. We see this in everyone today and is the living proof which this author discovered many years ago that a sinister element exists and lives within everyone on this earth by way of these emotions. Without them "it" dies. This author discovered that without feeling life the AI is unable to exist. He noticed that calm collected people who do not react to life's pressure situations are basically spiritual and have the necessary values to function properly and are the only ones who fight the evil ideologies. The rest stand by pathetically and make excuses because they have basically failed in their lives and live in self-denial because of not facing the pain it would take to reverse their particular psychotic state of mind. This includes most psychiatrists and psychologists who through their own professional and developing ideology they feed of the week and inadequate and build a life upon taking and not giving. They gain their energy from others who are filing or have already failed and produce their own high to sustain their AI and allows it to grown. From this grows the undermining ideology of Communism and socialism.
........As the society deteriorates in this phenomenon based upon idolizing everything that is wrong and where wrong is right, we see the decline of a nation (America and the world). The base of the United Nations originally contained people who had this in mind. Remember they can only work in groups to create the conspiracy therefore created the U.N. to do their dirty work. All the other world organizations contain the same kind of people generally weak and inadequate who find a strength within the confines of the groups. (cults, religions, societies, parties, government, corporations, banks, schools and on it goes) Of course they will not back the attack of Iraq to remove a standout evil element.
........We have the pathetic families who kill each other. Even some families do the same and these are called "Mafia". Spiritually based families are made up of individuals who function only as individuals but with a loving base for each other. These spiritual families do not need leaders as seen within the Blacks where there are many corrupt leaders who feed off of their own kind. Within spiritual families we have a joy from giving each other independence with a teaching that children grow up as individuals and not under the control of the parent or anyone. Manipulative mind control is what we see today everywhere and this comes from evil leadership who are addicted to power. Give them more power and the worst it becomes. In America only ten percent of the Black people have been able to be free from this where the child learns to respect the parent from the role model created which provides the base for self-discipline and self-motivation. Blacks clinged to Bill Clinton because they have it backwareds.because most of them (90%) have it backwards.
........Within this natural family you will find true love basically a loving and understanding nature not a compassionate one with feelings. Compassion is not always loving under these circumstances and can often be the tool to weaken others. Anytime one brings in feelings it means controlling that mind which receives and takes in the feeling because all addictions need feelings. Without the effect of feelings there cannot be addictions. All addictions live through sinisterism where even the need to listen to music can be sinister, if the receiver is under the infleunce of "it". It is the way the human mind fails (through temptation). We therefore produce a feeling love rather than a giving love which comes from Creation. How we educate our children needs to be based upon true love and understanding not brainwashing techniques and a loss of common sense which we see today. Rote learning itself is mind-boggling and spiritually destructive. Because of this professionals such as accountants, attorneys and medical doctors are victims of an altered state of consciousness which makes them unworthy of any good judgements and common sense. The more they suppress common sense as they strived for perfection at their superiority grade level, the more they fall for "temptations" and destroy their spiritual base and the reasoning of right and wrong. This is one very good reason we have so much corruption in the society because the common per We have the pathetic families who kill each other. Even some families do the same and these are called "Mafia". Spiritually based families are made up of individuals who function only as individuals but with a loving base for each other. These spiritual families do not need leaders as seen with the Blacks where there are many corrupt leaders who feed off of their own kind. Within spiritual families we have a joy from giving each other independence with a teaching that children grow up as individuals and not under the control of the parent or anyone.

The child learns to respect the parent from the role model created which provides the base for self-discipline and self-motivation.

The more they suppressed common sense as they strived for perfection at the grade level, the more they fell for "temptations" and destroyed their spiritual base and reasoning of right and wrong. This is one very good reason we have so much corruption in the society because the common person has been made to rely upon them and unreasonably empowered them. Similarly politicians have been empowered through the weakness of the people and not from any strength and they become addicted to the power they obtain and begin to abuse it when corruption feeds into it from all directions, the lobbyists, big corporations, organizations, religions and even foreign countries which had been the case during the Clinton era. How pathetic!
........Creator gave human beings life and took nothing back. One thing that Creation has done is expect something from that which it created and that is honor and a thankfulness to have been created and to show these thanks in the deeds accomplished which does not include murder, greed, hate, jealousy, taking from and all the addiction in the world such as possessions, alcohol, drugs, music, work, money, power and lots more. All of the latter are created by the world and are of the world which involves sinisterism and evil. Creation is not upon the world but within the human entities as a soul and spirit which communicates with Creator by way of the conscience. It is this conscience that is essential for spiritual life and as a communicating source for all decision making and even opinions. For example, women's choice must come from the conscience and not from the years of conditioning that woman have had, and we all know that this conditioning has been sinister in nature and if not overcome will always lead to a destructive choice.

........What has exactly UNESCO's role been in the restructuring of America education? As far back as 1947, under the Truman administration, the President's Commission on "Higher Education for American Democracy," which pronounced that education "must be conditioned essentially by policies established by the State Department and by ministries of foreign affairs in other countries." More specifically, it then stated: "Higher education must play a very important part in carrying out in this country the program developed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization..... The United States Office of Education must be prepared to work effectively with the State Department and with the UNESCO." What began in 1947 has continued and grown ever since.

........The author must point out here that the conspiracy, the world's greatest conspiracy (www.worldsgreatestconspiracy.com will have more to say about this), has been proven to exist by way of these organizations. There had been a sinister intent behind the UN and UNESCO just by the nature of the people who are basically inadequates and who found a life for themselves within the organization and carried an ideology that feeds on the weak and needs to undermine the systems already established. There is always a subtle pretense from organizations who inevitably destroy anything which they did not create themselves. It is an unnatural inherent nature which picks up the sinister intent to eventually destroy itself and everything around. History has proven this to be true and the lack of awareness by the people permits this to occur in an endless cycle as civilizations and societies collapse into dust.
........Obviously power is given to the groups and organizations, the education department is the issue here in this chapter, and this is the only way the greatest conspiracy can do its dirty work. This explains the needs for all political parties, cults and gangs. Without them the individuals in the groups are nothing. Each individual group has its own personality and attracts its own kind. They need to be comfortable within the group and the characters of these individuals within the specific group must always have some power or depend on the others in the group.
........Religions are also groups otherwise the perfect religion would be one for all. You can observe that there probably are thirty five hundred religions throughout the world. Of course a perfect religion never occurred because people have egos (Creator's replacement) and carry their own burden of an Alien Identity which with all intentions is destructive and conversely anti-Creation. It is pathetic to see religions actually destroying those who believe in them just as if they were Cannibals or any cult, rebellious to Creator. They were created because of this in the first place. As human beings wished to find something purposeful in their lives, which they thought would be purposeful, they devil-oped their own particular religions not realizing that they are anti-Creation. In the eyes of Creation, people were supposed to learn and understand and then move on to do the duty under the eyes of Creator and conscience and not need something to lean upon such as a religion or party, or even the U.S.Educational system. The last thing anyone should need is an educational system or even a United Nations in order that all corrupted human beings can feed upon their own inadequacies and dysfunctionalities providing their base of power to rule as tyrants taking away the sovereignty and individuality of human beings especially a democratic society such as America. This is what has happened as explained by the experiences and evidence of Charlotte in her writings.
........This author has not had the opportunity to experience such things as did Charlotte and it takes discovering this woman's writings of truth to help us move further ahead to "Have Fun Destroying Evil." A combination of a few true Americans and those who believe in absolute and Creation may be able to stop the regressive trend of civilizations if it is not too late and if the people listen and realize / recognize from where this is coming . Not coming from an opinion but through them and from a supreme power greater than these individuals.
........Education must also come through individuals who have absolute at heart. We definitely do not have this in America and for this reason the school system has deteriorated to its lowest level. There is no hope for it unless the parents step in and take it over themselves with no obligation to anyone but a responsibility directly towards their children. True love is participating in correctness and correcting everything that is wrong. Parents could do this but the sinister society has kept them in an altered state of mind, brainwashed and corrupted, addicted and angry, therefore basically incapable to make the changes needed.
........Americans must get the government totally out of education before it gets any worse in order to also have some hope for the future.

........The take over of American education took place a long time ago. There are numerous citations in Charlotte's book showing the planned subversion as the late 1800's and the early part of the 20th century. For instance in 1934, the American Historical Association published Conclusions and Recommendations for the Social Studies, a book funded with a large grant from the Carnegie Corporation. British socialist Harold Laski enthusiastically endorsed this report as follows: "At bottom, and stripped of its carefully neutral phrases, the report is an educational program for a Socialist America." And he was absolutely correct because this book calls for changing the Unites States from free enterprise to a planned economy.

........The author has already explained in his other books how the greatest conspiracy began in the 16th century when powerful individuals only had one thing in mind and that was money and power. Certain people financed governments to make them dependent upon them even where there had been wars at stake. These sinister but powerful people even created wars because with their money the made them happen. Without the money they would not have the weapons and vehicles needed. These were the same people, certain banks, who financed Adolph Hitler. These same people had offspring who continued the pattern. The conspiracy grew from a base in which these people even were told to intermarry or they inherited nothing. These same corrupted people had offspring never to experience the life of the common person and always continued on in a debased life-style to rule and take as all addictions to power must. We do not read or hear too much about their offspring because their lives are miserable but not something the media, TV and newspapers would like to learn bout them. They are basically kept secret and they have agents doing their dirty work for them. With so much money they can buy anyone even presidents.
........We know they buy the political arena and from this they control the educational system of the United States. UNESCO is a feed off just like the International Monetary Fund is a feed off the U.S.Treasury where American tax money is thrown away to corrupt countries without Congress's knowledge. The undermining is quite subversive within the socialist and communist movement throughout the world and only today is it coming out of the closet more because of the immense egos involved within their organized leaders who because of their ego cannot hide anymore and do things in secret. They also know that they are winning over the people and are addicted to the feelings of power. They know just as we see in the U.S. Education that they have already won and their efforts have succeeded in dumbing down America. It has taken about fifty years to reach this point but success is at hand and they are celebrating their cause.
No longer do they need to hide and because so few people are at the higher conscious level to see it they will remain in control of the world's education as well this country's.

There is a 1985 United States-Soviet Union Educational Agreement. You will be surprised at those who place "conservatism" and conservative heroes above adherence to the U.S.Constitution. These incredible agreements opening the door to the introduction of Soviet-stye education into America's schools were signed by U.S.Secretary of State George Schultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Edward Shevardnadze. Then, Edwin Feulner, who today leads the Washington-based Heritage Foundation but who was then the presidentially appointed chairman of the Commission on Public Diplomacy if the U.S.Information Agency, urged speedy acceptance of recommendations contained in the agreements.

The problem with vouchers. Vouchers are a mechanism to gain control over private schooling, and eventually even over home schooling. If vouchers are used by parents to pay for education outside the government schools, then the issuer of the voucher (the government) will step in to certify that the alternative form of education meets government standards.

There is a savvy Texan named Billy Lyon who showed that many educators and politicians us the term "choice" as a substitute for "vouchers". What they really seek is control. For instance, Lyon pointed to Albert Shanker, the late American Federation of Teachers leader, so stated: "It may be that we can't get the big changes we need without choice." President George Bush announced, "Choice is the one reform that drives all others." And former U.S.Secretary of Education Laura Cavasos expressed his desire "to use the power of choice to help restructure American education." When these people employ the word "choice" then mean "vouchers," the back door approach to gaining control.

The author wishes to express how manipulating and ambiguous the English language is and can be used as a means to propagandize the public. One cannot truly know the intent of politicians no matter what they say. Those who have faith in politicians are fools. Wherever the power of the Alien Identity could easily be utilized in a corrupt manner that would affect masses of people for sure it is active. One does never need to doubt that sinisterism exists amongst everything which involves patheticism, and it is surely pathetic that Americans cannot believe the words of the politician, the people they elect.

Charlotte had an overall answer to the problem of dumbing down America. Prior to 1930, the United States had the finest education system in the world. We should be very proud of that fact. And we could easily return to that prominent position, but doing so has to be based on a realization that federal money not only is not the answer, it is the root cause of declining test scores and the other problems we have discussed. Federal money has been used for behavior modification not for academics. It has been used to "dumb down" America's children, not educate them as their grandparents were educated.

The first step that must be taken is to abolish the Department of Education. Once that has been accomplished, we will see the collapse of all the state education departments that get as much as 70 percent of their operating budget from ED.

The author knows in his heart that there should be an elimination of many departments of government or even the overall dumbing down of government itself to solve the serious problem in the department of education. In government we basically have weak minds who need a job in government because they cannot find work in the mainstream. Many in government have never worked anywhere else and are there for the lack of pressure and the pension. Now what can one expect from the Department of Education?

We do not know what it had been like in government a hundred years ago but this author seems sure that it could not have been so pathetic. The leaders who are selected to run each department are usually the choice of the president and his aides. The example of the rogues who headed the Clinton Administration is an extreme one but it tells us that it has been getting seriously worse. The secretary of education in the Clinton Administration looked a lot to be desired. We can be sure that he had the agenda described by Charlotte in her book "dumbing down". The years from 1992 to 2000 showed so many signs of serious problems in the schools not only the learning abilities but in attitudes and even crimes. Crimes are now on the increase again (2002).
