WEALTHY GLOBALIST/INVESTOR GEORGE SOROS: WORLD TROUBLEMAKER SEEKING TO TOPPLE AMERICA WHICH STANDS IN HIS WAY

Planned Parenthood Sought Soros Cash to Protect Federal Subsidies

Documents detail $1.5 million grant and Soros network’s rapid response lobbying strategy

George Soros’ dark money group planned a seven-figure cash infusion for a Planned Parenthood fund that spent millions lobbying to preserve its taxpayer subsidies after videos showed the abortion provider negotiating the sale of fetal body parts, internal documents reveal.
Soros’ Open Society Policy Center, his vast political network’s 501(c)(4) “social welfare” arm, sought a $1.5 million boost for a Planned Parenthood legal, lobbying, and rapid response operation it called the Fight Back Campaign.
The money would enable the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the group’s lobbying arm, “to mobilize grassroots and grasstops supporters and lobby Congress to counter attempts to defund Planned Parenthood at the federal and state levels,” an internal OSPC document said in language designed to brief its board on the grant.
It is not clear whether the funds were ever actually disbursed. OSPC is required to report its grants annually, but its most recent filing with the Internal Revenue Service cover grants only through 2014.
Planned Parenthood and the OSPC did not respond to questions about the Fight Back Campaign grant proposal.
The document outlining it was one of thousands of hacked files from Soros’ political and policy network released on the website DC Leaks. Metadata indicates it was written by Victoria Choong, an Open Society budget analyst until 2015.
The grant summary and other documents released by the hackers reveal the extent not only of Soros’ work to preserve subsidies for Planned Parenthood, but also how the Hungarian-born billionaire’s network of advocacy groups has honed its ability to address unforeseen and time-sensitive policy fights with sudden infusions of cash designed to sway specific policy decisions.
According to OSPC’s summary of its Planned Parenthood grant, the Fight Back Campaign’s budget was projected to reach as much as $8 million. “Countering this offensive requires an enormous amount of resources and staff time, which is the intent of the opposition,” OPSC wrote.
The campaign was a response to undercover videos filmed by the Center for Medical Progress, a pro-life group that exposed Planned Parenthood’s sale of fetal organs and tissue for medical research. The Center for Medical Progress says it amounts to a significant revenue stream for the organization. Planned Parenthood denies that it makes any money from the sales.
The videos led to congressional votes to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood, which receives more than $500 million from taxpayers each year.
Efforts to keep that money flowing put an immense strain on Planned Parenthood’s lobbying and advocacy budget, the OSPC document reveals.
“In the several weeks since the attack began, leading up to the Senate vote [to defund the group in December 2015], Planned Parenthood used up nearly all of its lobbying resources, so its greatest need for the campaign outlined above is an immediate infusion of c4 funding,” OSPC wrote.
Planned Parenthood had no trouble securing funding for its 501(c)(3) educational arm, but that nonprofit designation precludes it from doing the legislative lobbying and issue advocacy it needed to ensure a continued stream of federal funding.
“Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood, has recently secured a commitment for $2 million in c3 funds, with strong prospects for more on the c3 side. Funding for lobbying activities, however, is much harder to come by,” Soros’ group noted.
The Soros network has worked in the last few years to cultivate a funding arm that can provide sudden cash infusions to address unforeseen challenges and policy opportunities, and do so with specific policy goals in mind.
Open Society’s Opportunities Fund functions as a rapid response funding mechanism for groups in its giving portfolio, such as Planned Parenthood, that are faced with sudden funding shortfalls or specific needs due to developing policy opportunities.
“These funds emerged from one aspect of George Soros’ view about how OSF should run and what makes us distinct as a philanthropy,” an internal document explained.
“Rather than be exclusively wedded to the advancement of pre-conceived and long-term strategies, we should have the capacity to respond to unexpected events as they unfold, including using OSF funds to leverage other dollars.”
The Opportunities Fund’s budget has grown from $6.25 million in 2013—when it was known as the Reserve Fund—to $20 million this year, according to documents handed out at Open Society’s board meeting in May.
“We are aware that many issues will arise that we cannot anticipate but where an immediate infusion of funds can significantly advance our goals,” Open Society said in a 2014 strategy memo. “We will continue to devote 20-25% of our [U.S. Programs] budget to this opportunistic capacity.”
Soros’ son Jonathan, a top Open Society executive and OSPC board member, must sign off on all C4 grants from the Opportunities Fund, according to internal documents. That role dovetails with Open Society’s push to address a lack of C4 grantmaking capacity among left-wing foundations.
“OSPC’s capacity to make c4 grants will be of even greater significance given the wind-down of Atlantic Philanthropies, the only other major philanthropic entity with significant c4 capacity,” the 2014 strategy memo noted.
Its unique role as a lobbying grantmaker made support for Planned Parenthood of particular importance. “OSPC is uniquely situated to provide a critical resources PP will have a hard time finding anywhere else,” the group wrote.
In seeking to beef up funding for Planned Parenthood’s Fight Back Campaign, OSPC teamed up with the Democracy Alliance, a powerful network of Democratic donors whose president, Gara LaMarche, also sits on OSPC’s board.
Both houses of Congress ended up passing legislation to defund Planned Parenthood, but President Obama vetoed the measure. Despite defunding measures at the state level, OSPC described its efforts as a success.
“This emergency funding enabled PPAF to implement its multipronged Fight Back Campaign to mobilize grassroots and grasstops supporters and lobby Congress to counter attempts to defund Planned Parenthood at the federal and state levels, and to continue providing critical reproductive health care services across the country,” OSPC wrote.
Update 12:46 p.m.: A previous version of this story identified the group that released the videos as Operation Rescue.

Leaked Docs: Soros Aims to Enlarge Electorate by 10 Million Voters by 2018

Soros has bankrolled efforts to challenge voter ID laws, 

register minority voters

EXCERPTS: “The plan to grow the electorate by millions of voters was discussed during a May 2014 board meeting of the Open Society Foundations, a liberal grant-making group founded by Soros. A 220-page guide detailing the plan was among more than 2,500 hacked Soros documents released by DC Leaks, which publishes documents from influential officials around the world.
The guide covers strategies and tactics the group will employ in the United States from 2015 to 2018. The top goals listed by the guide are to “advance electoral reform” and “combat suppression.””

Hacked Documents: Soros Funded 

Black Lives Matter

EXCERPT: “DCLeaks.com — which claims to be run by the same hackers who leaked a trove of e-mails from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) — has published a 69-page report from OSF in which the Soros organization documents its plans to use the “unrest” following the death of Freddie Gray to “accelerate the dismantling of structural inequality generated and maintained by local law enforcement.” The decision to bankroll the subversive and violent anti-police organization was approved “per board consensus” and appears to have had as its goal the shifting of political power.”

Soros Migration Rent-a-Mob Amps Up for 

Aug. 28 Wash., D.C. Refugee Rally

EXCERPT: “The professional Soros migration/refugee agitators are rallying the street radicals to come to Washington, D.C., this Sunday, August 28. The aim of #DCRally4Refugees is to whip up the appearance of popular support for the UN’s September 19 Refugee Summit and President Obama’ plan to “surge” thousands more Syrian “refugees” into American communities. Virtually all of these organizations are synthetic “grassroots” groups that would be nonexistent except for continuous funding transfusions from U.S government agencies, United Nations agencies, and the “charitable” foundations of Soros, Ford, Rockefeller, Gates, McArthur, Tides, et al.”

RAISING KAINE~A DESERVING EXPOSURE

Raising Kaine
RAISING KAINE
BY C. MITCHELL SHAW
SEE: http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/23901-raising-kaine; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
As the Clinton/Kaine ticket gets under way, much is known of Hillary Clinton on the national scene: Her history as former First Lady, former senator, and former secretary of state — and the scandals which accompanied each of those positions — has been well reported and is well known, if not well accepted. Tim Kaine (shown), on the other hand, is another matter. His political career has been confined to Virginia and so — with rare exception — has his media coverage. Who is Tim Kaine?
Michael Timothy Kaine’s political career began in the 1980s at Harvard when he met, courted, and eventually married Anne Holton, the daughter of Linwood Holton, who served as governor of Virginia from 1970 to 1974. After they were married, they settled in Richmond, Virginia, where they both practiced law. Kaine also taught law at the prestigious — and liberal — University of Richmond School of Law. In 1994, he was elected to the Richmond city council. Four years later, he was elected by the council as mayor of Richmond, and served until 2001.
It was during his time as mayor that the “moderate” Democrat first encountered any real controversy. After the anti-gun Million Mom March in Washington, D.C., in May 2000 — which, of course, had nowhere near a million moms marching — Kaine was called on the carpet for using $6,000 in taxpayer funds to pay for buses to carry marchers from Richmond to the march. In the wake of the controversy, he raised the funds to reimburse the city. It does say something about the man, though, that he lacked a moral check on using taxpayer money to pay for the advancement of his own political agenda.
The kerfuffle was short-lived, and Kaine was elected lieutenant governor of Virginia in 2002 under Governor Mark Warner. Four years later, he was elected governor.
As a state, Virginia has perhaps two political oddities that stand out — one more distinct than the other. The first (and perhaps more common) is a political schizophrenia that compels residents of the Old Dominion to elect a majority of one party to the state legislature and the candidate from the other party to the office of governor. The second (which is unique to Virginia) is that governors are limited to a single term. The combination of these two oddities leads to governors who see the office not as a place to build and grow while looking out for the best interests of Virginia, but as a steppingstone to run for either president or Congress. Kaine was no exception to this rule. As governor, it was clear he was posturing for some higher federal office. He was reported to be on Obama’s short list as a VP running mate, but was edged out by Joe Biden.
During his time in the governor’s mansion, Kaine continued to stoke controversy. He meandered from the hard-left to the middle-left in what appears to be an effort to make himself attractive as a “moderate.”
In his delivery of the Democratic response to the 2006 State of the Union address, Kaine was quick to criticize President George W. Bush’s handling of the war in Iraq, correctly pointing out that Bush had misled Americans about whether Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. Of course, Kaine is now standing up beside a candidate who has misled Americans about her arming of Syrian rebels and facilitating the growth of ISIS, not to mention her e-mail scandal.
As governor, Kaine established the Climate Change Commission to promote the fallacy of “global warming,” yet also supported a project for a coal-fired power plant in the state against the wishes of the environmental lobby. By playing both sides against the middle, he was cast as a champion of both business and the environment.
He banned — by executive order — smoking in government buildings in Virginia and later signed into law a bill banning smoking in most restaurants and bars in the state, but resisted a bill passed by the mostly Republican state legislature to require girls to receive the HPV vaccine before they could be admitted to high school. One is left to wonder whether his resistance to the bill forcing girls to receive a vaccine against a sexually transmitted disease would have been the same if it had been passed by a Democrat-controlled legislature.
When his proposed tax increases of $4 billion ran into a wall with the Republican-controlled legislature, he cut spending on things such as highway rest areas, and managed to keep Virginia running. He was celebrated for his wise handling of the financial “crisis,” without much mention in the mainstream media of the fact that he should have cut spending without even trying to increase taxes. In the end, Virginia fared very well with the spending cuts. Forbes ranked Virginia number one in its “Best States For Business” three of Kaine’s four years in office. A large part of the credit for that goes to his failed attempt to raise taxes. In other words, it’s not what Kaine did for Virginia’s businesses; it’s what he was prevented from doing that helped the state through a rough economic period.
Of course, he took the credit, all the while courting greener political pastures. And it worked.
During his last year as governor, Kaine was elected chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) — a position he held until 2011, when he recommended Debbie Wasserman Schultz to succeed him. During his time in that position, he cemented himself as a political force to be reckoned with and — when he resigned the chair — announced he would run for the Senate seat that Democratic Senator Jim Webb would leave vacant upon retiring.
In 2013, when he was sworn in as the new Virginia senator, it became apparent how small a world Virginia politics really is: His Virginian colleague in the Senate was none other than his old friend Mark Warner, under whom he had served as lieutenant governor. Together, they have used Virginia’s voting power in the Senate to move the United States further to the left.
In fact, Tim Kaine has the lowest score in the Freedom Index published by The New American. His cumulative score for his tenure in the Senate is a paltry one percent. The one vote in which he aligned himself with the Constitution — the anomaly — was on January 28, 2015 when he voted against an amendment to remove exemptions for fracking and natural gas storage from regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act. This one correct vote is conspicuous by its loneliness.
On a range of bills dealing with everything from national security to federal involvement in housing to the environment to immigration to taxes to forcing employers to fund contraception, Kaine has voted the exact opposite of the Constitution 99 percent of the time.
As Kaine has continued to climb the political ladder, he has also continued to move to further and further to the left and progress in his abandonment of whatever principles he may have ever had. He appears to have made some sort of Faustian deal for political power: He has violated his oath of office wherein he swore before God that he would uphold the Constitution, and he has likewise abandoned his faith, though he claims otherwise.
Kaine describes himself as a “faithful” and “traditional Catholic,” even while supporting same-sex “marriage” and abortion. This dichotomy has caused more than one Catholic clergyman to publicly call Kaine out as an example of a bad Catholic. Fr. Thomas Petri, a Catholic priest in Washington, D.C., tweeted, “Senator @timkaine: Do us both a favor. Don’t show up in my communion line. I take Canon 915 seriously. It’d be embarrassing for you & for me.” Canon 915 forbids priests from administering Holy Communion to those who are excommunicated or obstinately persevere in grave sin.
Kaine, though, is obstinate — even recalcitrant — in his position. He will not abide by either his oath or his religion. Oaths and religion often stand or fall together, since they both deal with God and man’s duty before Him. Can such a man be trusted to be vice president under Hil­lary Clinton? Of course, any man who valued either his oath or his religion would not likely be standing up beside Hillary Clinton in the first place, so the question answers itself.

BACK TO SCHOOL: THE CESSPOOL OF ILLEGAL INDOCTRINATION

BACK TO SCHOOL: THE CESSPOOL OF ILLEGAL INDOCTRINATION

Former Education Secretary under Ronald Regan said, In America today, the longer you stay in school, the dumber you get…” –William Bennett
Outside of the fact the federal government is illegally (Violation of Article 10 of The Bill of Rights) and intentionally indoctrinating American students in public schools through International Baccalaureate, No Child Left Behind, and now Common Core, you have to ask the question, “Why are 86% of them thatcomplain about what is going on dropping their kids off at the school gate?” The 86% just happen to be Professed Christians, Patriots, and Conservatives? This 86% should also realize that which is being taught today is not what was taught 50 years ago in this country.
Case and point: In complete contradiction to America’s foundational principles, the National Education Association agrees with humanism. Humanism is summed up in the following excerpt by John Dunphy in his article, “A Religion for a New Age”:
“The Bible is not merely another book … it has and remains an incredibly dangerous book. … I am convinced that the battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in the public classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith. … These teachers must embody the same dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist preachers, for they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to convey humanist values in whatever subject they teach. … The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new – the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism, resplendent in its promise of a world in which the never-realized Christian ideal of love thy neighbor will finally be achieved.”
Furthermore, here are examples of what the public indoctrination center are teaching concerning various subjects.
Math:
In Texas, the State Board of Education found a total of 109,263 errors in math textbooks reviewed for use in 2008 alone. Yes, I said 109,263 errors. The board had to go so far as to place a possible fine of $5,000 per error found if they were not fixed by spring of the same year.
Science:
In textbooks all across America, science (the study of Creation) is well-known for being laced with the dangerous theory of evolution, which wars against Christianity, the Bible, God and His Law, which is the foundation of our Republic.
Evolution
The little Girl Who Knew Better
Concerning history, I had one principal jokingly tell me, “Science and history books are being changed every three to seven years.
History:
In Virginia, a state review committee found a slew of errors in many history textbooks. A committee of five historians caught errors ranging from the incorrect year John Rolfe married Pocahontas to quotes that do not even appear in historical records. One book illustrated Virginia soldiers in the Revolutionary War wearing red coats, when in fact, they wore blue. Another textbook erroneously stated many colonial Americans were illiterate. In fact, literacy rates were extremely high.
Retired Library of Virginia historian Brent Tarter wrote in his review of a textbook titled Our Virginia, “I also found some very significant omissions, some internal inconsistencies, and some erroneous or questionable descriptions and analyses of historical events. Some are so ludicrous and difficult to explain that I cannot understand where the misinformation came from.”
Muslim Indoctrination in Public Schools:
Interestingly enough, in recent years, American public schools have been indoctrinated with the Muslim religion. Studies have shown over 500 historical errors in public school textbooks, giving an Islamic slant to our youth.
As a result, our youth are subject to the following teachings and practices:
• Learning to become a Muslim
• Fasting for Ramadan
• Learning the five pillars of Islam
• Memorizing verses of the Quran
• Adopting a Muslim name
• Staging a Jihad (war against non-Muslims)
Muslim Infiltration
What of antidepressants prescriptions? They are simply attempting to set students up for the fall to prescribe dangerous psychotropic drugs.
Leon Eisenberg (Father of ADHD), in his last interview before his death, said,“ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease.”
There has been a dramatic rise in the sale of antidepressants in the past decade alone. According to IMS Health, sales of antidepressants in the United States surpassed $11 billion in 2010.
Antidepressants are one of the most commonly prescribed drug classes. Four out of five physicians prescribing antidepressants are not even psychiatrists, and the drugs are increasingly being given for non-psychiatric uses.
This dramatic increase in usage could possibly be in direct connection to the controversial TeenScreen survey given to children as young as 9 years old in public schools. TeenScreen has been responsible for policing the mental health of students over the past decade.
More and more public schools have brought in the manipulative survey for children, setting them up for a prescription. For example, one of the questions asked is: “Has there been a time when you felt you couldn’t do anything well or that you weren’t as good-looking or smart as other people?” Another question is: “In the last year, has there been any situation when you had less energy than usual?”
Nearly 20 percent of students who take the survey are then labeled mentally ill, which leads to a prescription. This process is being sold as suicide prevention; however, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force found “no evidence” that screening for suicide risk reduces suicide attempts.
In past generations, parents would train their children in the way they should go, using the rod of correction (Proverbs 22) to drive foolishness from the hearts of their children, while the pharmaceutical companies compete for the position contrary to that which God commanded.
In the meantime, pharmaceutical companies are raking in hundreds of millions of dollars a day while America’s students are used as political and medical guinea pigs.
Most Americans don’t even realize that Obama is attempting to deputize the medical industry to screen the mental health of every American. [Video]
Herein lies the “attention deficit.” The deficit lies within the responsibility of the parents, not the child.
To further add insult to injury with the help of the NEA, students are being made a prey to teachers. [Video]
The real question to ask here is “Why are there public schools?”
Only you can answer that.
Public Schools are teaching what? [Video]

THE UNMISTAKABLE RUMBLINGS OF AN AMERICA ABOUT TO POP

THE UNMISTAKABLE RUMBLINGS OF AN AMERICA ABOUT TO POP

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” — John F. Kennedy
Put two people in a room and disagreement, at times, is a virtual certainty. Put 320,000,000 people in a nation and disagreement, sometimes violent, is a daily fact of life. Now add to the mix a heavy dose of multi-culturalism and the brew gets even more volatile. Then add 86,000,000 Americans being forced to pay for the livelihoods of 148,000,000 unproductive Americans and the brew becomes explosive. (Those 148,000,000 Americans think everything is just fine and they can vote to keep it that way.)
In that same nation, millions of illegal aliens are allowed to enter, almostunimpeded and encouraged by a liberal government. They get on the welfare rolls thus costing those 86,000,000 productive Americans billions of dollars in taxes for illegal-alien subsistence and millions of lost jobs, not to mention the drugs, rape, robbery and murder brought to America by the fairly large illegal-alien criminal element.
Let’s not forget the effects of radical environmentalism on the cost of goods and the loss of property rights, fueling rising distrust and anger in our rural communities all across America. We know a lot about that anger and discontent of rural landowners by the calls and e-mails we get every week from besieged landowners. We try to help them with the tools our organization (NARLO) provides, but it isn’t enough. The ability of the government, local, state, or federal, to harass and abuse landowners is greater than our ability to counter it. (See “Rural America In the Crosshairs”)
Add a Federal Reserve that is neither federal or a reserve and an exploding national debt to pay for over one hundred years of liberal, give-away policies, a debt that could lead to a devastating financial collapse and you have a recipe for not only anger and discontent, but the potential for rising violence.
Americans have had difficulty remaining united under any circumstances, except when it is threatened by a foreign enemy. But today, almost eight years of President Obama, it would seem the nation is coming apart at the seems. The great “Uniter” is in fact the great “Divider” and he has done so with malice aforethought to implement his twisted vision of America.
Obama’s Blacks think they are getting a raw deal and invented Black Lives Matter for non-existent injustices, with a giant boost from the nation’s wealthy liberals. They are stirring up trouble, chaos, violence and riots in every big city in America just for the Hell of it. Blacks voting in a block for Democrats is not because Blacks like liberal policies. It’s because they like the Democrats stealing from everyone else to give to the Blacks. It’s there form of reparations for past American sins.
Latinos are all upset because millions of legal Americans are finally saying enough is enough to illegal immigration, whether it is from Mexico, Central and South America, or the Middle East. The INS and ICE have lost control of the immigration process and are instead just throwing billions of our tax dollars at it, releasing tens of thousands of criminal aliens into the general population and failing to keep track of the millions of visas given out to foreigners.
The Indians are angry because of losing the war 150 years ago and are getting even with the White man by erecting casinos all over the place and confiscating land and water rights using ancient treaties, with the help of the government and radical environmentalists.
On top of that, radical Islam (ISIS and Al Qaeda) is threatening to annihilate our very way of life and our government, sworn to protect us from all enemies, foreign or domestic, is doing so little to crush the enemy that the enemy is free to come to America and kill Americans. Obama’s policies of appeasement and non-confrontation at any cost, are reaching out to bite us in a very big way, with the prospects of it only getting worse. Do you think twice now before going to the mall or the theater?
Then there are the laws. The America government, at every level, has passed so many laws against every human activity to the point that Americans have become lawbreakers every day of their lives, without knowing it …. that is until they get caught.
The wide-eyed, radical academic environmentalist Bill McKibben wants to give wartime powers to government against climate change, giving government the absolute power to do anything it deemed necessary, including confiscation of property, coercing businesses into supporting the effort, telling businesses what to do, when to do it and whom to hire, along with strict control over the economy. Bill has millions of groupies, academia and the news media on his side. But waging war, at any cost, including the loss of liberty, against a boogieman, backed up by unsettled or bad science, is the epitome of tyranny.
But worse, we have allowed growing secularity and worldly forces to rip out the cultural fabric of our Judeo-Christian heritage by allowing certain minorities rights that are in direct conflict with cultural norms and the natural order.
Our public schools and colleges have become institutions of liberal propaganda and indoctrination. Each generation learns less and less about America’s beginning and foundation of freedom. This is born out by millions of young Americans finding socialist Bernie Sanders a fitting presidential candidate. Then you have millions more Americans eager to put one of the most corrupt individuals in American politics, on the Clinton dynasty throne.
Soon the old ones will die off and their perspective of a free and prosperous America will be lost forever. With no heritage of liberty available from the seniors in our midst and no teachings of freedom in our schools, liberty will surely die.
We can’t imagine why proud, self-reliant, responsible Americans are so angry, frustrated and ready to do harm to someone or something. We can’t imagine why millions of those same Americans are listening to Donald Trump and liking what they hear. Or, can we?
Donald Trump, as flawed as he is, is channeling America’s anger, however imperfect his style and demeanor. For the millions of Americans that are sick and tired of business as usual and the institutional corruption, Donald Trump has given them a voice. But Trump is not a Superman that can leap tall buildings in a single bound. He cannot, with a wave of his extended hand, eradicate poverty, provide everyone with a job and kill our enemies. But most of all he cannot change the mindset of a “gimee!” national mentality that has become accustomed to sucking at the teat of mother government. Unfortunately, that “gimee!” mentality can vote to keep the “milk” flowing and they are in the majority.
But there is more to the problem than just an out-of-control government. We as individuals cannot just abdicate our responsibility to hold government accountable if we want to remain free. We cannot give a pass to our kids when they misbehave or act out. If we don’t set standards for them and demand they meet those standards, they end up derelicts on the street, criminals, or workers and businessmen without a moral compass …. or God forbid, Democrats.
John Scolinos, a famous baseball coach, gave a speech at a coach convention in Nashville, TN back in January of 1996. John stated that: “This is the problem in our homes today, with our marriages, with the way we parent our kid and with our lack of discipline. We don’t teach accountability to our kids, and there is no consequence for failing to meet standards. This is the problem in our schools today. The quality of our education is going downhill fast and teachers have been stripped of the tools they need to be successful, and to educate and discipline our young people.”
If our young people are not brought up with true knowledge, discipline, standards and moral underpinnings, they will be incapable of holding government accountable and will be easily manipulated by or become dependent on government.
We are running out of time. So just how long will self-reliant, independent, responsible Americans, worried about the loss of their freedoms and the collapse of the Republic, put up with:
The government erecting a multitude of new offices, and sending hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
The government has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving its assent to their acts of pretended legislation:
For imposing huge taxes on us without our consent to pay for the unconstitutional promises they have made to millions of our citizens for their votes.
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.
We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.
We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred. to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
Millions of Americans have not seen this language before, or know the vital importance of its words, because they have no knowledge of how America came into being and the fundamentals of liberty contained in its beginning documents. They are truly freedom ignorant. How can they defend or care about what they don’t know?
The first reaction to tyranny is resistance. The final reaction to tyranny is revolution. We are in the first stages in the reaction to tyranny and we strongly urge Americans to resist wherever they can before the second stage becomes unavoidable? All it takes is a flash point and the whole experiment with freedom could begin to unravel overnight, if it hasn’t already.
But then how can we peacefully stop a tyrannical government and the mob mentality it created, if we don’t have the votes? Short of revolution, there is only open and defiant resistance.
Ladies and gentlemen, the colonials broke with England in revolution for far less than what the American government has heaped upon its citizens in the quest for power, lust, greed and control over the masses. If government continues this abuse and usurpations upon its citizens, eventually they will make “peaceful revolution impossible and make violent revolution inevitable.”
America is about to boil over, especially if Hillary Clinton is elected President. That 86,000,000 minority that is paying for everything, the rich and middle class alike, may just decide to stop paying. Some of the wealthiest among us already have. If that 86,000,000 minority wants to be free from the yoke of liberal servitude they had better start resisting and they better start now because their vote means nothing against the liberal mob.
When the checks don’t show up at the welfare or unemployment office, or there is no food at the local Albertson’s store, we guarantee you there will be riots, mayhem and burnings in the street in every city in America. That leads to insurrection and civil war. In such an event, what is to stop the government from declaring martial law and suspending the constitution and all of the rights it promises? Absolutely nothing! Abraham Lincoln and Congress suspended Habeas Corpus during the Civil War. It’s only a small step to suspend the whole constitution, or to confiscate all your money you have in the bank, or in your retirement accounts.
The fate of America, freedom or tyranny, is in the hands of its people that is if the people have even the slightest concept of what freedom means or place any value on it. We’re not convinced they do because of several generations of Progressive and one-world-government brainwashing.

THE COMING FREE SPEECH APOCALYPSE

THE COMING FREE SPEECH APOCALYPSE 
There is a good chance American enemies of American free speech will shortly mount a sustained and successful effort to drastically reduce American speech freedoms.
BY DANIEL PAYNE
SEE: http://thefederalist.com/2016/08/22/the-coming-free-speech-apocalypse/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
Americans generally do not appreciate the United States’ astonishing free speech regime, particularly compared to the historical bastions of political liberalism in Western Europe.
The French penal code criminalizes “defamation” of people based on “their membership or non-membership, real or supposed, of an ethnic group, nation, race or religion;” in Britain the police can investigate you for criticizing Muslims; in Ireland they have something called the “Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act,” which prohibits “inciting” “hatred” against anyone based on, among other factors, “membership [in] the travelling community” and “sexual orientation” (Ireland also forbids speech that “undermine[s] public order or morality or the authority of the State”). Even our neighbor to the north, Canada, forbids people from “incit[ing] hatred against any identifiable group.”
America is not like that: in the United States, you can incite hatred against a gay gypsy Muslim bureaucrat, even specifically becausehe is a gay gypsy Muslim bureaucrat, and you will not be thrown in jail. In America you can say just about any offensive thing imaginable, directed at just about any group or person imaginable, and you’ll be okay. Add to that the strong protections for political speech that statute and Supreme Court precedent have established, and America is almost unique among the nations of the world in terms of freedom of expression. We have it good.
But that might not always be the case. In fact in the very near future American free speech may be sharply curtailed. It is not a sure thing—Supreme Court precedent regarding the First Amendment is robust enough to present would-be censors with something of a challenge—but nevertheless there is a good chance that American enemies of American free speech will shortly mount a sustained and eventually successful effort to drastically reduce American speech freedoms.
Who are these enemies? There are three of them: Hillary Clinton (backed by a Democratic Party that is rabidly anti-free speech), Donald Trump (unchallenged by a weak and useless Republican Party), and, most tragically, the American people themselves.

Hillary Clinton

With the possible exceptions of John Adams and Woodrow Wilson, there might never be a president more hostile to freedom of speech than Hillary Rodham Clinton. Clinton has promised, if elected, to introduce a constitutional amendment within her first month in office that would effectively repeal the First Amendment by overturning the Supreme Court’s Citizens United v FEC decision from 2010.
Very simply, Citizens United ruled that Americans do not lose their freedom of speech rights when they band together in corporate form and under the auspices of labor unions and other types of organizations. Practically speaking, this was an uncontroversial and obvious affirmation of American First Amendment rights. But Hillary Clinton has set herself up against this ruling as if it were the Black Death, claiming her litmus test for nominating Supreme Court justices is if they will vote to overturnCitizens United and thus make it more difficult for Americans to speak freely and openly.
Clinton actually has a long history of anti-free speech positions, so in a sense this is unsurprising. But now she is poised to become president of the United States, and with that bully pulpit—and the power of the executive order—you can be sure her avaricious, relentless desire to curtail free speech will be a potent threat to our precious First Amendment freedoms.
You can be equally certain the Democratic Party will be happy to help her out. The Democratic platform not only calls for overturning Citizens United but also calls upon the Justice Department to “investigate allegations of corporate fraud” of fossil fuel companies “accused of misleading shareholders” on “the scientific reality of climate change.” This is a creative way of calling on government to prosecute skeptics of global warming hysteria.
In addition, the DNC calls upon Democrats to “condemn hate speech that creates a fertile climate for violence.” It is essentially guaranteed that, within a few years’ time, the “condemnation” of “hate speech” will progress to demands for an outright prohibition. Progressives in Europe have already done it; progressives in America are assuredly not far behind.

Donald Trump

You might think the Republican nominee for president would stand as a counterweight to the Democratic nominee’s censorious tendencies. You would be wrong. Trump himself has come out against super PACs, which are simply coalitions of American citizens who have banded together to voice their political opinions. Trump has also vowed to “open up” libel laws in order to silence his critics.
Lest you think this is an empty threat, it’s important to note Trump has already admitted to using libel laws to silence his critics. He also called for “closing [the] Internet up in some way” to combat terrorism, while dismissing those who would be concerned about freedom of speech as “foolish people.”
Would the GOP stand against Trump’s demonstrable hostility to the First Amendment? Not likely. Much of the Republican establishment has already proven itself reluctant to challenge Trump in any substantive way. Trump’s obvious antipathy to freedom of speech, coupled with his strongman ambitions and lack of resistance from an emasculated GOP, could pose a serious if not existential threat to American freedom of expression.

The American People

Surely, even if our corrupt and power-hungry elite ruling class opposes freedom of speech, the American people will resist any real efforts to curtail the First Amendment, right? Not so fast. There are genuinely distressing signs that the culture of American free speech is as endangered as the policy.
Some poll numbers suggest as much: two-thirds of Americans, for instance, think people who engage in “hate speech” are “more dangerous” than the people who would censor it. Among younger Americans—millennials—the polls indicate a staggering opposition to freedom of speech: out of 800 students polled at colleges across the country, more than a third believed the First Amendment does not protect “hate speech,” with a third also claiming the First Amendment is “outdated;” more than half believe colleges should have speech codes to police the speech of students and professors.
Forty percent of millennials, meanwhile, think government should be able to censor “offensive statements about minorities.” Indeed, millennials appear to be the most censorious generation alive. As older generations die off or become less politically active, we can assume that more and more anti-free speech millennials will make up a larger and larger share of the electorate.
All of which is to say: if we are worried about the anti-free speech ambitions of our two presidential candidates and the parties they represent, we should also be concerned about the American body politic, a substantial percentage of which is greatly inclined to censor “offensive” speech. A generation so inclined to muzzle its fellow Americans could pose an existential threat to the First Amendment.

Fight for the Right to Speak Freely

So how do First Amendment-loving Americans fight against this rising tide of illiberal anti-speech hostility? The solution is actually quite simple: we must take an absolutist zero-tolerance position regarding censorship and speech policing. In the same way that the National Rifle Association is relentless in fighting the curtailing of Second Amendment rights, Americans must relentlessly protect First Amendment rights.
The American tradition of free speech is very strong and well-established. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be swept away.
This means fighting against efforts to overturn Citizens United (and fighting more broadly against any efforts to censor and police political speech); combating speech codes on college campuses and elsewhere; working tirelessly against the wannabe-tyranny of people like Trump and platforms like that of the Democratic Party; and fighting vigilantly for the right of all Americans to say what they what, about what they want, in whatever way they choose to do so.
This does not mean you have to defend things like libel or other knowingly false and slanderous statements. It simply means you must fight for the precious free speech rights of every American citizen against the growing effort to criminalize those rights. (It might also help if you familiarized yourself with the Supreme Court rulings on free speech. Knowledge can be an invaluable tool when fighting against illiberalism and authoritarianism.)
These concerns are not academic or theoretical. As much of the rest of the world proves, governments are usually extremely willing to silence and censor their citizens, and too often the citizenry is willing to lay down and take it. The American tradition of free speech is very strong and well-established. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be swept away. It is up to all of us—as American citizens and freeborn men and women—to guard against these encroachments on our God-given liberties, and to ensure that the invaluable American free speech regime continues as long as does the American Experiment.

REPORT DEBUNKS “BORN THAT WAY” NARRATIVE & “TRANSGENDER” LABEL FOR KIDS

REPORT DEBUNKS “BORN THAT WAY” NARRATIVE & “TRANSGENDER” 
LABEL FOR KIDS
Political correctness about human sexuality is fostering horror stories for some of the nation’s most vulnerable children and their families. A new report attempts to clear that away to present the science.
SEE: http://thefederalist.com/2016/08/23/report-debunks-born-that-way-narrative-and-transgender-label-for-kids/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
A stunning new report on sexuality and gender exposes the shaky science behind the LGBT “born that way” narrative and the push to label young kids as “transgender.” The report comes as the health-care industry, pressured by the Obama administration, imposes new protocols pertaining to “sexual orientation and gender identity” grounded in faulty science and often dismissive of parents’ rights and children’s well-being.
The report, “Sexuality and Gender: Findings from the Biological, Psychological and Social Sciences,” is co-authored by two psychiatric experts affiliated with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Dr. Paul McHugh and Dr. Lawrence Mayer. Published byThe New Atlantis (a journal of technology and society) and dedicated to “the LGBT community” and “children struggling with their sexuality and gender,” the report aims to prompt further research to help provide the LGBT population with “the understanding, care, and support they need to lead healthy, flourishing lives.”
“This report is about science and medicine, nothing more and nothing less,” the lead author, Mayer, writes. A “sober assessment of the science” led the authors to decry the “great chasm” between “public discourse” and “what science has shown” about sexual orientation and gender identity, particularly among children. Indeed, the report indicates that many of our prevailing cultural narratives and health-care practices regarding the LGBT population have little or no sound scientific basis.

Here Are the Key Findings

The full report deserves to be read in its entirety. Several years in the making, it’s a careful, nuanced analysis of the weight of scientific evidence on sexual orientation, gender identity, and LGBT mental health. The report doesn’t shrink from findings perhaps more palatable to progressives than conservatives or vice-versa, and the authors are quick to point out existing gaps in the research. They conclude with a call for more high-quality research and “an ongoing public conversation regarding human sexuality and identity.”
That said, the report’s conclusions clearly challenge many progressive LGBT talking points. Major findings are summarized below. (Note: all quotations are from the report.)
“Born that way” is a myth. “The understanding of sexual orientation as an innate, biologically fixed property of human beings—the idea that people are ‘born that way’—is not supported by scientific evidence…Genes constitute only one of the many key influences on behavior in addition to environmental influences, personal choices, and interpersonal experiences.”
Sexual orientation is fluid, hard to measure, and has multiple dimensions.The view that “homosexuality or heterosexuality is in any given person unchangeable and determined entirely apart from choices, behaviors, life experiences, and social contexts…is not a view that is well-supported by research…Sexual orientation may be quite fluid.” An “ambiguous” term, “sexual orientation” may refer to one or more measurable dimensions: “attractions, behaviors, identity” and “belonging to a certain community.”
Further research should assess correlations between childhood sexual abuse and sexual orientation. Non-heterosexuals are two to three times as likely as heterosexuals to have experienced childhood sexual abuse.
Non-heterosexuals are at “elevated risk” for mental health problems and suicide.Compared to the general population, non-heterosexual sub-populations have an “elevated risk for a variety of adverse health and mental health outcomes,” with “nearly 2.5 times the risk of suicide.” “[T]he rate of lifetime suicide attempts across all ages of transgender individuals is estimated at 41%” (compared to under 5 percent in theoverall U.S. population).
Social stigma and stress are incomplete explanations for poor mental health.“The social stress model probably accounts for some of the poor mental health outcomes experienced by sexual minorities, though the evidence supporting the model is limited, inconsistent and incomplete.” Further studies are needed.
Science does not support de-linking gender identity and biological sex. “The hypothesis that gender identity is an innate, fixed property of human beings that is independent of biological sex—that a person might be ‘a man trapped in a woman’s body’ or ‘a woman trapped in a man’s body’—is not supported by scientific evidence.” Brain studies “do not provide any evidence for a neurobiological basis for cross-gender identification.”
Sex-reassignment surgery is not a panacea. Compared to the general population, adults who underwent sex-reassignment surgery continued to have a higher risk of experiencing poor mental health outcomes, including being 19 times more likely to die of suicide.
Most children desist from childhood cross-gender identification. “Only a minority of children who experience cross-gender identification will continue to do so into adolescence or adulthood.” “[N]o one can determine the gender identity of a two-year-old.”
“Premature” interventions for gender-dysphoric children are alarming. “The severity and irreversibility of some interventions being publicly discussed and employed for children” are alarming and disturbing. “Therapies, treatments, and surgeries seem disproportionate to the severity of the distress being experienced by these young people, and are…premature since the majority of children who identify as the gender opposite their biological sex will not continue to do so as adults.”
“[L]ittle scientific evidence” supports the value of therapeutic intervention to “delay puberty or modify the secondary sex characteristics of adolescents,” although some children may experience “improved psychological well-being if they are encouraged … in their cross-gender identification.” However, the report urges “caution” because of the “lack of reliable studies on the long-term effects” of those interventions.
Young kids are not transgender. Other factors likely explain their gender difficulties. “There is no evidence that all children who express gender-atypical thoughts or behavior should be encouraged to become transgender.” At least one “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders” criterion for diagnosing gender dysphoria (e.g., child exhibits a “strong preference for the toys, games, or activities stereotypically used or engaged in by the other gender”) is “unsound,” according to the report.
Furthermore, even when children do “identify as a gender opposite their biological sex, diagnoses of gender dysphoria are simply unreliable. The reality is that they may have psychological difficulties in accepting their biological sex as their gender” for other reasons, including uncomfortable gender expectations or trauma.

What Could This Change?

So what does this report mean, in practical terms? For starters, it gives all of us greater insight on the extent to which ideology has been driving health-care policies.
An ideological partnership among LGBT organizations, the progressive medical establishment, and the Obama administration has used erroneous narratives about sexuality and gender, based on thin science, to advance their policy agendas. (Expanding coverage for transgender surgeries under the Affordable Care Act, along with current pressure on states to extend coverage for assisted reproductive technology to “infertile” same-sex couples are recent examples.)
This new report gives us language and authority to push back, as it challenges these false narratives, and by extension, the policy protocols that rely on them. Although it’s impossible, in one column, to analyze the many policies implicated in the Left’s false narratives around sexuality and gender, we offer a few examples below, focused on children.

Federal Data Collection Violates Kids’ Privacy

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released new rules in October 2015 “mandat[ing] the inclusion of sexual orientation and gender identity” (SOGI) data in the demographic section of Electronic Health Records systems. Although federal rules specify that clinicians do not have to ask every patient to provide this information, once the forms and intake procedures are standardized according to this protocol, patients (especially adolescents) are unlikely to realize they have the freedomnot to answer. LGBT organizations have pushed for SOGI intake questions for political reasons: by validating their numbers, they become “visible” and acquire increased leverage for targeted health benefits.
Their answers to these questions will follow them the rest of their lives.
Under HHS “best practices,” electronic health records will soon include these questions on sexual orientation and gender identity: “Do you think of yourself as: Straight or heterosexual; Lesbian, gay, or homosexual; Bisexual; Something else, please describe. Don’t know.” “What is your current gender identity? (Check all that apply.) Male; Female; Transgender male/Trans man/Female-to-male; Transgender female/Trans woman/Male-to-female; Genderqueer, neither exclusively male nor female; Additional gender category/(or other), please specify; Decline to answer.”
Children, adolescents, and young adults, whose sexual attractions, feelings, and behaviors might be confused or in flux, will be pressured to self-identify according to ideological—not scientifically measurable—categories, using terms that are unclear, ambiguous, and subject to change. Their answers to these questions will follow them the rest of their lives. This is hardly fair to young children and adolescents, who will be asked prematurely to label sexual feelings or claim identities without fully understanding either what they mean or the implications of their responses.
Further, if the Family Equality Council, an LGBT advocacy organization, has its way, federal rules on data collection will soon require that children in the adoption and foster care systems be asked about their gender identity (including whether they are transgender) beginning at age three, and their sexual orientation beginning at age ten. What do you think: evidence-based policies? Or ideology?

LGBT-Friendly Offices Normalize LGBT Identities

Another example is as close as your pediatrician’s office. Most pediatricians now conduct a psychosocial interview (typically the HEEADSSS questionnaire) as part of a child’s physical—usually after showing parents the door, “because a parent’s presence is likely to limit how much sensitive information the patient will provide.” The psychosocial interview includes recommended questions about sexual attraction. “Are you interested in boys? Girls? Both? Not sure?”
That’s bad enough. But in 2013, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued a policy statement (and technical guidance) on “Office-Based Care for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning Youth.” The policy advises physicians on how to create a welcoming environment for “sexual minority” youth—and reminds docs to jettison hetero-normative assumptions because any (or every) child might be LGBT.
If a child or adolescent admits to gender confusion, the AAP policy instructs pediatricians, in one smooth segue, to “provide the opportunity to acknowledge and affirm their feelings of gender dysphoria and desires to transition to the opposite gender.” The desire to transition is assumed, with no suggestion that the gender dysphoria might have other causes, or that transition might not be desirable.

LGBT Kids and Recalcitrant Parents

In 2014, Oregon began to sponsor puberty blockers for minors under Medicaid. It’s not terribly difficult to begin treatment: just visit a counselor to obtain a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, and then off to the endocrinologist. The only problem, it seems, comes from “recalcitrant” parents who slow the process down.
Unless something changes, parents will find it increasingly difficult to find clinicians willing to flout the ideology-based treatment protocols.
But at least Oregonian parents have the opportunity to be recalcitrant. In five states plus the District of Columbia, parents don’t even have that option. Their ability to choose treatment for a child’s sexuality-related psychological issues is restricted by bans on conversion therapy. Although such bans might be laudable in some respects, preventing truly abusive practices, they also likely have a chilling effect on a parent’s ability to pursue treatment for a child’s co-morbid psychiatric disorders, and may prevent parents and the child from pursing desired treatment consistent with religious or moral beliefs.
Unless something changes, parents will find it increasingly difficult to find clinicians willing to flout the ideology-based treatment protocols. When accusations—even false ones—that a clinician practices “conversion” therapy are enough to get an international expert like Dr. Kenneth Zucker fired from his practice (because he happened to be successful in helping to resolve children’s gender dysphoria), you can be sure that the average clinician won’t go near treatment plans that even hint at client change, no matter what the research says.
The report by Dr. McHugh and Dr. Meyer is a valuable wake-up call, reminding us that when ideology, cloaked in the narrative of settled science, drives medical decision-making, it’s the vulnerable who will suffer most. In what may be the understatement of the year, the authors end their report by saying, “We anticipate that this report may elicit spirited responses, and we welcome them.” Let the sparks fly.

COMMON CORE’S BILL GATES-A GOD IN HIS OWN MIND

BILL GATES – A GOD IN HIS OWN MIND
SEE: http://www.newswithviews.com/Kepus/diane149.htm; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

America’s Answer to Bill Gates Hitler Youth Movement
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: — 1 Peter 5:8
For most of us the most important thing in this world is our children. We do everything we can to protect them from danger, keep them well and are willing to work at destroying anything and everything out to cause them harm in any way.
Millions of American parents now realize there are many of our elected legislators both in their State and Federal government who claim they are passing legislation that is good for our children, but we parents know better.
I want to acknowledge I understand parents have been busy working, playing, parenting, dealing with aging parents, their own health issues – this very thing has been a round robin forever. However, what you didn’t have time to pay attention to was the “deliberate dumbing down” of all of us since the beginning of the 20th Century.
For years now legislation has been passed leading up to the passage of the 2015 ESSA or “Every Student Succeeds Act” which if it wasn’t so dangerous to our children would be comical. Many of these individual’s names appear and re-appear time after time on bills to continue down the path to destroying our children and to be put under the CONTROL of the FEDERAL government advancing to the New World Order (NWO).
If you have the time and are so inclined I invite you to read “TIMELINE OF THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA THROUGH THE EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN”.
Whether you want to believe it or not, everything that has been put in motion in this country since 1896 has been a path to a “New World Order”. We also have non-elected corporate individuals who believe their money can buy them anything they want and that is for the most part true. Our elected’s are only interested in what money is flowing into their wallets which is why they could care less what we think about anything.
When you mention Bill and Melinda Gates names in some circles reporting they are not the “good guys” they want you to think they are, people respond with “Well look at all the money they give away!” Have you really ever looked at all the things they have used their money for? Who the recipients were?
Gates financial input into the push for Common Core is public knowledge. One must ask why he is such a strong supporter of this inferior form of education for the masses of the children while his own children and grand-children (and those like him) are attending schools which DO NOT use Common Core.
I can answer that because Gates 2 children have attended Lakeside School in Seattle which is a “private” school for Middle and High School grades. Disturbing to me is the 5th grade is focused on global themes such as change, interdependence, diversity, human migration, human rights, quality of life, and sustainability to explore the history of Washington State and the Pacific Northwest Grade 6 Eurasia and a touch of Aldous Huxley, (poet) who wrote about despair, poverty, violence and alcoholism who was also a Humanist and Marjani Satrape an Iranian film maker for ELA.
The truth is, the children of the elite are to remain the “elite” overseeing the rest of us and the rest of us are to be the “workforce”. They are along with those in public schools being taught Global Warming is truth
What is the point of placing your children in Charter schools when they are still teaching Common Core? Placing your child in a private school with a voucher gains you nothing because a voucher requires your tax $$ to cover your child’s education and the whole set-up is an oxymoron since once a private school takes one red penny from the federal government they are now under federal government regulations.
Our youth have been so flooded with messages of immorality aligned to the Communist Manifesto that our country is now set up for anything goes. The schools and news media are bombarding our children with lies (they admit are lies) about “global warming” and festering their minds with how great it will be with a New World Order in place.
Our children are being indoctrinated in school with messages which separate them from their parents and the family structure with phrases like “out with the old and in with the new”. Even some far right religious sects are following the same theme preaching the bible out of context telling our children and adults “their” version of the Bible should be the “new” enlightenment for the future of the WORLD. Keep in mind when being preached to that, if it is “new” it is “wrong” and if it is “old” it is “right”.
Any takeover of any nation must and has begun with the entrapment of the children by propagandizing them into a nation of new goals with leaders who are selfish and evil. In America this has been done by the imbedded lie that we “must” send our children to school 5 days a week for 6-7 hours for 13 years of their life (now to include Pre-K) to be trained by strangers who in some cases have been trained to turn your children into non-thinking robots.
YOUR CHARGE TO YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILDREN’S WELFARE SHOULD BE TO REMOVE THEM FROM ANY GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED EDUCATION AND HOME SCHOOL THEM.
But be aware, there are NEW youth programs cropping up around the country with the direct purpose of undermining your parental authority. These Hitler type movement’s springing up are spreading the message that conformity is good and individual expression of liberty is undesirable. In other words “group” think is right – belief and support of the Constitution is wrong since it is outdated and outmoded (thank you Mark Levin).
John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute commented on the brainwashing of our American youth: “How do you persuade a nation of relatively freedom-loving individuals to march in lock step with a police state? Among other things you indoctrinate the young people to your way of thinking, relying primarily on the public schools and popular culture’ to get the job done.
Obama told us he was going to create a civilian military force which of course is to be aligned and beholden to him. What do you believe this is going to give us?
Look at this way! What do you suppose the mental development and thought process of a 16-18 year old is when you make them a part of the Dept. of Homeland Security’s “first responder’s” especially when you know Obama has been increasing FEMA’s ammunition and heavily-armed fighting vehicles and you are putting guns into the hands of these 16-18 year olds. Do you believe these children will think before firing when they have been told they are working under a “population control” agenda?
Is this in fact a Youth Army? DHS will tell you NO but the leaking stories give us different facts! An illegal migrant refugee camp at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas has a security force referring to themselves as “Brown Shirts” being used as the security force over the workers not the refugee’s. Why over the worker’s? Because BCFS, a part of the Dept. of Health and Human Services, doesn’t want the American people to know about the diseases accompanying these refugees. Employees are under threat of firing if they leak information about the camp.
Bill and Melinda Gates have initiated an offshoot of Agenda 21 programs known as Global Citizen Nights. Also supported by Forbes, Global citizen nights are designed to lure in youth and young adults and have them engage in some kind of global service with regard to the UN agenda’s such as water sanitation, Ebola, youth protection and health. In exchange for their good deeds, the participating teens earn points and then are able to exchange their “globalist points” for high valued items such as concert tickets. Personal servitude to society sends the message to the young that your life does not belong to you. Charity towards one’s own community should be borne out of a desire to help or heel in the name of some cause that has personal appeal to a young person. Mandatory compliance to these “volunteer program’s” conditions youth that their lives do not belong to them and that the state has the final authority of one’s actions. A “mandatory volunteer program” is just another oxymoron – the two just do not fit.
Why do you believe Sen. Lamar Alexander, Joel Klein, Chester Finn, Marc Tucker, Hillary Clinton, Linda Darling-Hammond and others are such strong supporters of so much government control rather than parental control over the raising of our children?
When one joins this globalist propaganda program, they are told that “Bill Gates recognizes that individuals have diverse passions and offers the Global Citizen network as one where, ‘some people will pick women’s reproductive rights, some will pick agriculture and then there are NGOs in each of those areas that you can volunteer for, give money to, and feel connected.” [LINK]
Once again I want to remind the reader’s, America has and is pouring BILLIONS of dollars into the United Nations every year for programs such as these very programs listed for the children to “volunteer” their services for“credits”.
Is it the fault of the American people that after 60+ years the countries the UN was supposed to help are still just as sick and poor? What have they done with all that money? Where are the audits? Where is the accountability from an agency which is being used to turn our world into their idea of a world – a New World Order?
Are you aware the only reason for the creation of the United Nations was to become the head governmental agency of a New World Order? Too bad our government and these corporations are not as interested in our homeless and hungry including our veterans.
“Global Citizen” is copyrighted 2012-2016 Global Poverty Project, Inc. When one joins this globalist propaganda program, they are told that “Bill Gates recognizes that individuals have diverse passions and offers the Global Citizen network as one where, ‘some people will pick women’s reproductive rights, some will pick agriculture and then there are other areas they might support. Add into the mix the NGOs in each of those areas that you can volunteer for, give money to, and feel connected.”
To give a “positive” note, the Global Citizen Nights are intended to replace the drug-infested raves. However, rather than destroying their bodies with drugs such as ecstasy, the youth are destroying their minds with globalist propaganda. One of the central themes of the Global Citizen Nights is the deliberate denigration of national sovereignty (e.g. “sovereignty is so 20th century) and the adoption of the globalist agenda at an age when young people’s minds are prone to extremist thinking. Hence the huge following of our college students for Bernie Sanders!
Forbes is one of the biggest supporters of this movement. Never forget that it is the “elite” of the world that want us “average, low-life” to be the workers of the world, supporting them while we have nothing. Indoctrinating our children to believe the GLOBAL WAY is the right way which is teaching our children they should have no appreciation or allegiance to include their values and morals which created this great country. Their vision is for our children to be GLOBAL!
Even Michael Farris, the over Lord of the Home School Legal Defense Fund and supporter of the Convention of States wants to place an amendment to the Constitution regarding “parental rights” – offering parental rights come from “man or government” rather than God.
1934 – National Education Association (NEA) Former Executive Secretary Willard Givens warned that “…all of us, including the ‘owners’, must be subjected to a large degree of social control… An equitable distribution of income will be sought… the major function of the school is the social orientation of the individual. It must seek to give him understanding of the transition to a new social order.” [LINK]
1942 – The editor of the NEA Journal, J. Elmer Morgan, wrote an editorial titled “The United Peoples of the World.” In it, he explained a world government’s need for an educational branch, a world system of money and credit, a world police force, and a world bill of rights and duties.” [LINK]
1948 – Canadian psychiatrist and World War II General Brock Chisholm, M.D. head of the World Health Organization (WHO), promoted the behavior modification processes now mandated through Bill Clinton’s Goals 2000 leading to the current Common Core Standards, ESSA and Charter/Choice/Vouchers. Compare his vision with today’s Mastery Learning and planned control of the family. [LINK]
1951 – In a report entitled, The Greatest Subversive Plot In History, Rep. John T. Wood of Idaho, stated in the Congressional Record reference to UNESCO’s scheme to pervert public education appearing in a series of nine volumes, titled“Toward World Understanding” which presumes to instruct kindergarten and elementary grade teachers in the fine art of preparing our youngsters for the day when their first loyalty will be to a world government.”[LINK]
The record continues, “The program is quite specific. The teacher is to begin by eliminating any and all words, phrases, descriptions, pictures, maps, classroom material or teaching methods of a sort causing his pupils to feel or express a particular love for, or loyalty to, the United States of America.
Children exhibiting such prejudice as a result of prior home influence, “of which “UNESCO calls “the outgrowth of the narrow family spirit” are to be dealt an abundant measure of counter propaganda at the earliest possible age. Booklet V, on page 9, advises the teacher that: The kindergarten or infant school has a significant part to play in the child’s education. Not only can it correct many of the errors of home training, but it can also prepare the child for membership in the world society.”
PARENTS – This is exactly what Current Common Core is intended to do and now with the endorsement of the ESSA, there is no path to saving our children other than taking them out of Public Schools and Homeschooling!
1974 – Alvin Toffler (Newt Gingrich’s mentor) along with Willard Wirtz and other futurists wrote a report issued to the Institute for Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) (those wonderful Commissioners of Education who forced Common Core on our children 30+ years later) titled “Man, Education, and Society in the Year 2000”. Other CSSO participants were George H. W. Bush, James Baker and Edmund de Rothschild.
November 17, 2004 – And YOU want to believe Bill Gates is this great guy because he gives all this money away. Believe me – his money is spent for the intention to indoctrinate our children or support eugenics. At UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris, UNESCO signed a 26-page ‘Cooperation Agreement’ with Microsoft Corporation to develop a ‘master curriculum (Syllabus)’for teacher training in information technologies based on [global] standards, guidelines, benchmarks, and assessment techniques. The Agreement states that the Syllabus will ‘form the basis for deriving training content to be delivered to teachers,’ and ‘UNESCO will explore how to facilitate content development.”
In other words, that “Cooperation Agreement” calls for a world-wide system of global standards. Its manipulative techniques were designed to conform human resources to the demands of the rising totalitarian world government. No matter what we call its manipulative education standards — “Common Core,” “Outcome Based Education” or “No Child Left Behind” — the schools of the future would be pressed into the socialist shape of UNESCO and the NEA.
Remember, the NEA shares UNESCO’s goals. No wonder, since NEA elites helped launch UNESCO! Back in 1946, it celebrated the formation of UNESCO as “the culmination of a movement for the creation of an international agency of education.” What the NEA planned in secret has become today’s reality. The NEA Journal proudly announced their new rules: “…each member nation… has a duty to see to it that nothing in its curriculum . . . is contrary to UNESCO‘s aims.”
Like the NEA, UNESCO promotes abortion, disarmament and world government. It has a great deal in common with Agenda 21 (and Bill Gates) the radical framework for a totalitarian globalism under the banner of “Saving the Earth” and shrinking the world population. [See Gorbachev’s Plan for a United World] Our children would be trained, not just to conform to UNESCO’s agenda, but to serve as activists ready to serve, promote, spy and fight for a world government with zero tolerance for traditional values.
Hang onto your babies – we have a rough ride ahead!

 AUSTIN, Texas (TheBlaze/AP) — A federal judge in Texas has blocked the Obama administration’s directive to public schools that transgender students must be allowed to use the bathrooms and locker rooms coinciding with their chosen gender identity rather than their biological sex.
On Monday — the first day of class for most public schools in Texas — hundreds of school districts awoke to news of the order by U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor.
On Sunday, O’Connor ruled that the federal education law, Title IX, “is not ambiguous” about sex being defined as “the biological and anatomical differences between male and female students as determined at their birth.” O’Connor concurred with Texas Republican state leaders who argued that schools should have been allowed to weigh in on the directive.
Texas led 12 other states in challenging the Obama administration’s directive as unconstitutional.
In a statement, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, said, “We are pleased that the court ruled against the Obama Administration’s latest illegal federal overreach,” adding:
This President is attempting to rewrite the laws enacted by the elected representatives of the people, and is threatening to take away federal funding from schools to force them to conform. That cannot be allowed to continue, which is why we took action to protect States and School Districts, who are charged under state law to establish a safe and disciplined environment conducive to student learning.
Paxton had argued that blocking enforcement of the directive prior to the start of the school year was necessary because districts risked losing federal education dollars if they didn’t comply. The Obama administration had told the court that recipients of federal education dollars “are clearly on notice” and that they must follow their order. Texas alone receives approximately $10 billion in federal education funds.
The Department of Education and Department of Justice did not immediately react to the injunction.
Paul Castillo, a Dallas attorney for the gay rights group Lambda Legal that had urged the court to let the directive stand, said the ruling was a continuation of attacks on transgender people.
“I think today is going to be a hard day for transgender students,” Castillo said. “The decision is certainly emotional and certainly an attack on transgender students’ dignity.”
The federal government issued a directive in May that transgender students must be allowed to use bathrooms and locker rooms in accordance with their gender identity. The order followed the Justice Department’s lawsuit over a North Carolina state law requiring people to use public bathrooms that correspond with the biological sex printed on their birth certificate. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch characterized the law as akin to the policies of racial segregation. Republicans have argued that such laws are commonsense privacy safeguards.
The Texas-led lawsuit was filed in May alongside Alabama, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Utah and Georgia, and the Republican governors of Maine, Mississippi and Kentucky. Two small school districts in Arizona and Texas — which have fewer than 600 students combined and no transgender persons on their campuses — also joined the effort to prevent the directive from being enforced.

RABID ATHEIST MIKEY WEINSTEIN OF “MRFF” ATTACKING, PERSECUTING CHRISTIANS CONTINUOUSLY~”FFRF” ALSO ANTI-CHRISTIAN

Activist Seeks ‘Aggressive Punishment’ of Air Force Major Who Left Open Bible on Desk

BY HEATHER CLARK
SEE: http://christiannews.net/2016/08/22/activist-seeks-aggressive-punishment-of-air-force-major-who-left-open-bible-on-desk/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
COLORADO SPRINGS, Co. — The leader of a prominent activist organization that seeks to separate God from the military is asking that the Air Force “aggressively punish” a superior officer who has long displayed an open Bible on his desk.
According to reports, Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) recently sent a letter to Col. Damon Feltman, the commander of the 310th Space Wing at the Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, to issue a complaint about the Bible displayed by Maj. Steve Lewis, a supervisor at the Reserve National Security Space Institute.
“For years, [Lewis] has kept an open, yellow-highlighted Christian Bible displayed front and center, quite prominently, on his official USAF work desk in an open office work environment,” Weinstein said.
“The egregious constitutional and DoD regulatory violations of such a brazen display of sectarian Christian triumphalism and exceptionalism have been noted by many USAF members through the years,” he asserted, but none have expressed objection due to “fear of reprisal and retribution.”
Weinstein demanded that the Bible be moved out of sight, and kept to his own personal use.
“MRFF now demands that you order this Major Steve Lewis to immediately take down his Christian biblical display from his official USAF desktop,” he said. “It is fine, of course, if he wishes to keep his Christian Bible, replete with yellow-highlighted verses, in a desk or office drawer or even in a handy, nearby office bookcase but NOT open, yellow-highlighted and at the very epicenter of his USAF work desk for all of his helpless subordinates and many others to view continuously on a daily basis.”
Weinstein further requested that Lewis be investigated and “aggressively punished” for “poisoning” the environment at the institute with the biblical display.
“MRFF demands that … pending the results of the investigation, both he and his direct supervisor, Colonel Lisa Johnson, be swiftly, visibly and aggressively punished for allowing this long-running, repulsive violation of USAF regulations and bedrock Constitutional law to fatally poison the Command Climate in the RNSSI,” he wrote.
Following Weinstein’s letter, Lewis removed the Bible while the Air Force investigates the complaint.
“He has removed the Bible voluntarily because he didn’t want this to cause attention or disruption to his unit,” Feltman told conservative reporter Todd Starnes. “I’ve performed a walk-through of the office and everything seemed to be in compliance with Air Force regulation.”
He explained that he is waiting on the unit commander to review the situation, who will determine whether or not the presence of the Bible was inappropriate.
“As long as he’s not doing something excessive, the existence of a Bible or the Koran or the Torah or some other religious article is not prohibited,” Feltman said. “It’s what you do with it when you have it.”
“The 310th ‘Space’ Wing is NOT called the 310th ‘Space For My Personal Proselytizing Christian Bible Shrine’ Wing for a [expletive] good reason,” Weinstein said in a statement. “Major Steve Lewis has created an around-the-clock Christian Bible Shrine on his official USAF workstation desk that has been in prominent static display for YEARS.”
But some state that Air Force officials should ignore Weinstein as Lewis has done nothing wrong.
“I want to personally thank Major Steve Lewis for displaying his Bible replete with yellow highlighted verses, as I do all of the time. Major Lewis has a constitutional right to embrace his sincerely held theological convictions without anyone abridging his free exercise of religion,” Sonny Hernandez, an Air Force chaplain assigned to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, wrote in an article last week about the matter.
“His devotion to Scripture is evidence of being a Christian (Ps. 1), which is why it is important for the military to ensure that anti-God, anti-Christian hate groups do not subdue his rights that many soldiers, sailors, Marines, and Airmen have died defending,” he continued. “Supporters of religious liberty should be defending the Constitution, not denigrating Christians, which is why Weinstein should be ignored.”
“Mr. Weinstein’s legal affronts can easily stir emotions and cause foreboding, but this need not be,” Hernandez said. “[W]hen contacted by Weinstein, don’t act hastily; continue to protect the free exercise of religion for all your Airmen, and resist him—because once Weinstein is ignored, he will flee.”

SIMILAR ANTI CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION 

FROM THE “FFRF”:

Bibles Removed From College Hotel Following Complaint From Atheist Activist Group

BY HEATHER CLARK
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:



GLENDALE, Ariz. — Officials at a public university in Arizona recently agreed to remove Gideon Bibles from the school’s hotel rooms following a complaint from a prominent professing atheist organization.



The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) sent a letter earlier this year to the CEO of the Thunderbird School of Global Management, which is part of Arizona State University. It said that an employee, who remained unidentified, had contacted FFRF to express their objection to the presence of the Bibles at Thunderbird Executive Inn.



FFRF also asserted that the Bibles violate the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution, which reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”







“If a state-run university has a policy of providing a Christian religious text to guests, that policy facilitates illegal endorsement of Christianity over other religions and over non-religion,” the letter, written by attorney Madeline Ziegler, read. “Permitting members of outside religious groups the privilege of placing their religious literature in public university guest rooms also constitutes state endorsement and advancement of religion.”



“Providing Bibles to inn guests sends the message that ASU endorses the religious texts,” it asserted. “It sends the message to non-Christian and non-religious guests that the university expects they should read the Bible, and specifically the version of the Bible provided; the Gideon Bible.”



The correspondence also contended that “[r]egardless of whether the Bibles were donated by a private party, the placement of a holy book in guest rooms for guests to read demonstrates government endorsement of a religious message.”



FFRF consequently requested that the Bibles be removed from Thunderbird Executive Inn.



On July 19, CEO Allen Morrison provided notice to FFRF that he had instructed staff to remove of the Gideon Bibles from rooms.



“I have … requested that religious materials be removed from the inn’s guest rooms,” he wrote in the brief correspondence. “I trust that resolves your concerns.”



FFRF, which announced the development on Tuesday, applauded the outcome.



“Anyone zealous enough to need the Bible as bedtime reading will travel with one,” said Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor in a statement. “The rest of us paying guests seek a vacation from proselytizing when we’re on vacation. What is offensive at private hotels and motels, however, becomes unconstitutional at public-supported rooms.”



As previously reported, FFRF has also convinced the Iowa State University, the University of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania State University, Portland State University and Northern Illinois University to remove Bibles from their guest rooms.



But the religious liberties group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has asserted that FFRF’s contentions are in error.



“[B]y succumbing to FFRF’s demands, you may have exposed yourself … to potential liability. Presumably, your guest rooms include a variety of printed materials, including magazines, phone books, and information about the campus and guest facility,” it explained in a letter to officials at Iowa State University and the University of Wisconsin. “By removing the Bibles because they are religious, you may have engaged in viewpoint discrimination, which is ‘an egregious form of content discrimination’ and a ‘blatant’ violation of the First Amendment.”



Gideons International was founded in 1899 in Janesville, Wisconsin, and first began distributing Bibles in 1908.



“In view of the fact that almost all of the Gideons in the early years of the association were traveling men, the question quite naturally arose regarding how they might be more effective witnesses in the hotels where they spent so much of their time,” the organization explains of its history on its website. “One trustee went so far as to suggest that the Gideons furnish a Bible for each bedroom of the hotels in the United States.”



Gideons International now is active in 190 countries worldwide, and has printed Bibles in over 90 languages.



“Through God’s grace and to His glory, more than 1.9 billion Bibles and New Testaments have been placed through our association, and the work continues,” the group says.

COMMON CORE IS WHAT HILLARY & BILL CLINTON HAVE WORKED TOWARD FOR YEARS



BY DR. SUSAN BERRY



SEE: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/08/22/common-core-hillary-bill-clinton-worked-toward-years/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:







Emails uncovered by Wikileaks from the Democratic National Committee show a communications director warning his colleagues not to talk about Common Core because of its political volatility.



In fact, however, the unpopular nationalized standards are what Hillary and Bill Clinton have been working toward for years.



DNC deputy communications director Eric Walker directs his colleagues in the emails, courtesy of Wikileaks:





A) Common Core is a political third rail that we should not be touching at all. Get rid of it.



B) Most people want local control of education so having Cruz and Trump saying it on a DNC video is counterproductive. Would get rid of any references to that.



C) We wanted Christie in there bc he’s a trump surrogate / could be trump VP / most anti-teacher guy out there. He’s yelled at pretty much everyone, there HAS to be video of him yelling at teachers and looking like a bully



D) Need Cruz saying dept of ed should be abolished. If you can’t find it – use this<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQFrEknrumI> from AFP summit: “The department of Education – which should be abolished”





Democrats may not mention the words “Common Core,” but their party’s platform — and Clinton’s history in the development of the plan that ultimately became the Common Core standards reform — informs voters the social justice education program is exactly what she worked toward while her husband was running for president.



The 2016 DNC platform states:





Democrats are unified in their strong belief that every student should be able to go to college debt-free, and working families should not have to pay any tuition to go to public colleges and universities…



The federal government will push more colleges and universities to take quantifiable, affirmative steps in increasing the percentages of racial and ethnic minority, low-income, and first-generation students they enroll and graduate…



We will ensure there are great schools for every child no matter where they live. Democrats know the federal government must play a critical role in making sure every child has access to a world-class education…



We will hold schools, districts, communities, and states accountable for raising achievement levels for all students—particularly low-income students, students of color, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities.





As Missouri Education Watchdog reports, according to the platform, the only feature of Common Core that Democrats seem to be rejecting is high-stakes testing used to evaluate teacher evaluations.



During her first campaign event last year, Hillary Clinton praised Common Core, referring to it as “the most important non-family enterprise,” and questioned how the nationalized reform could become so unpopular:





And a lot of states…do not understand the value of a core in the sense, a Common Core, yes, of course, you can figure out the best way in your community to try to reach — but your question is a larger one. How do we end up at a point where we are so negative about the most important non-family enterprise in the raising of the next generation which is how our kids are educated?





In April, Clinton told Newsday that she has always supported national education standards:





[W]hat I want to do, again, just like you were talking about Common Core and to set some standards, we need to have a common set of standards by which we judge all the schools, all the public schools, traditional, charter, magnet, whatever we call them. I have always supported national standards. I’ve always believed that we need to have some basis on which to determine whether we’re making progress, vis-à-vis other countries who all have national standards.





In making that statement, Clinton articulated the false narrative that the Common Core standards have been “internationally benchmarked.” And later on in the interview, she – like the teachers’ unions – blames a “disastrous” roll-out of Common Core for its lack of popularity.



Clinton acknowledged that she has “been involved in the past, not recently, in promoting such an approach” as Common Core. In fact, immediately following Bill Clinton’s election to the presidency in November of 1992, Marc Tucker, president of the National Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE), was involved in the early stages of what would ultimately become the Common Core standards reform.



With Clinton’s presidency secured, Tucker proposed his agenda to the soon-to-be First Lady in his now well-known “letter to Hillary Clinton”:





I still cannot believe you won. But utter delight that you did pervades all the circles in which I move…



The subject we were discussing was what you and Bill should do now about education, training and labor market policy…



Our purpose in these meetings was to propose concrete actions that the Clinton administration could take — between now and the inauguration, in the first 100 days and beyond. The result, from where I sit, was really exciting. We took a very large leap forward in terms of how to advance the agenda on which you and we have all been working — a practical plan for putting all the major components of the system in place within four years, by the time Bill has to run again.



We think the great opportunity you have is to remold the entire American system for human resources development, almost all of the current components of which were put in place before World War II. The danger is that each of the ideas that Bill advanced in the campaign in the area of education and training could be translated individually in the ordinary course of governing into a legislative proposal and enacted as a program. This is the plan of least resistance. But it will lead to these programs being grafted onto the present system, not to a new system, and the opportunity will have been lost. If this sense of time and place is correct, it is essential that the administration’s efforts be guided by a consistent vision of what it wants to accomplish in the field of human resource development, with respect both to choice of key officials and the program.





Tucker continued with a description of his “vision of the kind of national –not federal – human resources development system the nation could have.”



He wrote:





This is interwoven with a new approach to governing that should inform that vision. What is essential is that we create a seamless web of opportunities, to develop one’s skills that literally extends from cradle to grave and is the same system for everyone — young and old, poor and rich, worker and full-time student. It needs to be a systemdriven by client needs (not agency regulations or the needs of the organization providing the services), guided by clear standards that define the stages of the system for the people who progress through it, and regulated on the basis of outcomes that providers produce for their clients, not inputs into the system.





As the Eagle Forum observed, Tucker’s plan was implemented in three laws passed by Congress and signed by President Clinton in 1994: the Goals 2000 Act, the School-to-Work Act, and the reauthorized Elementary and Secondary Education Act. These new laws established the following mechanisms to restructure public schools:


    

  • Bypass all elected officials on school boards and in state legislatures by making federal funds flow to the Governor and his appointees on workforce development boards.
    • 

  • Use a computer database, a.k.a. “a labor market information system,” into which school personnel would scan all information about every schoolchild and his family, identified by the child’s social security number: academic, medical, mental, psychological, behavioral, and interrogations by counselors. The computerized data would be available to the school, the government, and future employers.
    • 

  • Use “national standards” and “national testing” to cement national control of tests, assessments, school honors and rewards, financial aid, and the Certificate of Initial Mastery (CIM), which is designed to replace the high school diploma.
    • 




Tucker clearly saw Bill and Hillary Clinton’s advance to the White House as the start of the fulfillment of this “school-to-work” vision, one that is now actively shared by many governors of both parties, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and local state business and industry groups.



The Common Core standards and the student data collected through the Common Core-aligned tests are serving as a vehicle to provide big business with a government-guaranteed labor force – a genuine planned economy.



Kirsten Lombard, editor of Common Ground on Common Core: Voices from across the Political Spectrum Expose the Realities of the Common Core State Standards, told Breitbart News, “Where the true customers for education should be the parent and the child, school-to-work (STW) programs have replaced them with government and business, increasingly making of the classroom a career-tracking and a labor-fulfillment center.”



Lombard explains classical education that allows children and teens to think critically and prepares them for a variety of opportunities in careers or higher education has been replaced by the STW mentality.



“Where we used to talk about equipping children to determine their own futures through real and solid education, we now talk almost exclusively about strengthening the workforce through education and ensuring that our classrooms are producing students ready to work,” she said.



While some students will choose vocational training based on their own interests, Lombard says big business and government should not be making that decision for them.





“The bottom line is that, in a truly free society, business takes care of itself,” she said. “Neither the state nor the federal government has any legitimate role in either facilitating or managing the job training of private enterprise.”

HORDES OF DEMOCRATS SWITCHING TO TRUMP



MILLIE WEAVER OF INFOWARS REPORTS



Published on Aug 22, 2016





At a recent Donald Trump rally, Millie Weaver discovers that a significant number of attendees are democrats who have become Donald Trump supporters. It’s becoming very apparent that many registered Democrats support Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton despite mainstream media’s attempt to demonize Donald Trump while desperately propping-up Hillary Clinton.
