Propaganda and other more subtle forms of media communication have always been used to build support for war, militaristic policing and government surveillance on the grounds of ‘national security.' The images and messages contained in film, TV, popular music and video games form an important part of this process, especially because there are now only five big media conglomerates that control over 90 per cent of everything that is seen and heard across America.

"Someone who's not educated is basically limited. It's almost as if they're walking through life with a blindfold on. They're easily led astray, used and manipulated for other people's agenda, usually people with a better education and greater access to resources."

The curriculum implements this holistic perspective shift by asking students very subjective questions about their personal mentalities. This model demands a reader's interactivity. There is no memorizing vocabulary by rote repetition. The students here must be active in analyzing their own personal lives using English. In this way, their English lessons don't just cover the basics of the language, but the framework for their own personal success.

The point is, when you see a story being played over and again on various news outlets, you have good reason to believe that the information isn't coming to you organically. It's not something you really need to know or something that is genuinely relevant to day-to-day life in your community. It's the execution of an agenda. The information is being deliberately disseminated to manufacture awareness and recalibrate the standard for normal. It's something the corporate media wants you to focus on. Like in the shell game.

When you understand this fundamental of corporate media, the landscape of information today looks totally different. You're able to see narratives unfold and evolve, and able to recognize when your attention is deliberately being drawn towards an issue. Or away from an issue. - Sigmund Fraud

As such, if students feel "unduly stressed by a grade for any assessable material or the overall course," they can "email the instructor indicating what grade [they] think is appropriate, and it will be so changed" with "no explanation" being required.

The World Socialist Web Site has obtained statistical data from SEMrush estimating the decline of traffic generated by Google searches for 13 sites with substantial readerships. The results are as follows:

* wsws.org fell by 67 percent
* alternet.org fell by 63 percent
* globalresearch.ca fell by 62 percent
* consortiumnews.com fell by 47 percent
* socialistworker.org fell by 47 percent
* mediamatters.org fell by 42 percent
* commondreams.org fell by 37 percent
* internationalviewpoint.org fell by 36 percent
* democracynow.org fell by 36 percent
* wikileaks.org fell by 30 percent
* truth-out.org fell by 25 percent
* counterpunch.org fell by 21 percent
* theintercept.com fell by 19 percent

From my own research, these losses of readership in the last six months, from highs to lows amounted to a colossal 30.4 million unique visitors a month. I can't vouch for other websites but at TruePublica the average visitor reads 1.84 pages per visit. At this calculation over 55 million pages of content a month are being withheld from just the 13 websites listed above. It is not possible to come to any other conclusion that Google has blatantly been involved in an act of global censorship.

In further extracts from the wsws article:

"In late May, changes to Google's algorithm negatively impacted the volume of traffic to the Common Dreams website from organic Google searches," said Aaron Kaufman, director of development at progressive news outlet Common Dreams. "Since May, traffic from Google Search as a percentage of total traffic to the Common Dreams website has decreased nearly 50 percent."

... Google is a private company, they are not breaking the law. It might be immoral, unprincipled and shameless, but lawmakers across the western world have done nothing to diminish this transnational anti free speech power. But then, why would they?

The WSWS article closes by saying "The fight against corporate-state censorship of the Internet is central to the defense of democratic rights, and there must be a broad-based collaboration among socialist, left and progressive websites to alert the public and the widest sections of the working class." Whilst this sentiment is surely true, it is not enough and it never will be and it's not about the working class - it's about all of us, irrespective.

What is required now is a collaboration project to actually work together - to create a penetrating and deafening noise to alert the unaware, give a bigger motivation and resources to combat the rising scale of censorship and defend the civil liberties of everyone. If we don't, before long, it will indeed be too late. And then what? - Graham Vanbergen

Today, Silicon Valley has quite a visible Indian population and many of its members are very talented and in top positions. This helped change the perception of India. There are a total of one million Indian engineers and scientists in the US.  To put this number into perspective, the population of India increases by more than a million souls every month.

These were the best and the brightest of India, and while their number is not even noise in the grand scheme of things, the exception to the rule began to be seen as the rule. A completely faulty assumption was taking root, namely that India is a land of high-tech people. Neither Indians nor politically correct Westerners challenged this notion.

Remember, over half a billion tax-dollars are funneled to this leftist-indoctrinating abortion mill on an annual basis, where they've murdered over 7 million babies to date.

Ron: As with virtually everything else in our global human society, our understanding of and attitudes towards "education", need to be completely overhauled and reinvented. It should also be emphasised that our problems with "education" on this world are not simply the result of what this author labels as 'an archaic, industrial model of forced schooling [that cannot] ... keep pace with a new, technologically-enabled, information-saturated economy'. This world's global education and knowledge preservation and dissemmination systems have been diabolically and comprehensively manipulated, distorted and corrupted by Talmudists for millenia. We will need to start from scratch as regards both the truth content and the methodology needed for the proper education of all humans on this planet once we return after the Star Fleet Evacuation needed to preserve us from the coming Earth changes.

Kerry McDonald: As former Google CEO Eric Schmidt stated, "every two days we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003."

It is impossible to think that an archaic, industrial model of forced schooling can keep pace with a new, technologically-enabled, information-saturated economy that requires agility, inventiveness, collaboration, and continuous knowledge-sharing. A truly transformative 21st-century education model will cultivate, rather than crush, human creativity.

It's frightening to think of the ramifications of this type of manipulation. Not only can wrongful convictions devastate families and leave criminals free to offend again, but purposeful memory manipulation can help authorities find a believable reason to put those they disagree with or who speak out against them behind bars.

Today, however, many American students are being admitted to colleges without ever having read a book from start to finish. They are part of a cohort of students known as "book virgins."

It's important to note that the unnamed author of this article does admit that he was once a pedophile, and that by seeking help he was able to overcome it. But in condemning the general social response to pedophilia, this author actually contradicts the driving factor behind what drove him to seek help in the first place - the fact that society views pedophilia as being so aberrant to what's normal and decent that those who practice it require removal from society.

In pratice, all these discussions mask another, essential - if religion is what attempts to link mankind to God, it is obviously the source of all chicanery. Indeed, how can we pretend to know God if He is of a radically different and superior nature than our own? And, even supposing that He actually expressed Himself through the prophets, how can we pretend to understand what He told us? We should note that from this perspective, the question of the existence of God - that is to say a conscience superior to our own - has no meaning. This is, for example, the idea supported by the Christian saints Gregory of Nazianzus or Francis of Assisi.

Still from this perspective, people who attempt to approach God - that is, not to apply His Law, but to help the evolution of human nature to make it more conscious - have a tendency to share their experience and thus to found churches.In order to function, these churches have a tendency to form permanent staff, priests or imams. In Christianity, this function only appeared as from the 3rd century - several generations after the death of Jesus. In all religions, these clerics wind up enjoying an intermediary status between the lay community and God. But none of the founders of the great religions ever created a church or formed a clergy.

And these mainstream sources are currently shouting and bloviating about independent media spreading fake news. I guess you could call that number 11: accusing their opponents of committing the crimes they are, in fact, committing.

Information mind control, as delivered by elite television news, depends entirely on the elite anchor. His modulated voice and presence and delivery are the glue that holds the illusion together. If by some miracle, the news bosses could raise Walter Cronkite, "the father of our country," from the dead and put him back in the chair, they might have an outside chance of re-establishing their dominance. But too many years have gone by; years of unaccomplished anchors. Humpty-Dumpty is in pieces on the floor, the horse is out of the barn, the cat is out of the bag.

During a speech in Chicago, Zuckerberg added: 'As I've travelled around, one theme is clear: every great community has great leaders. A church doesn't just come together. It has a pastor who cares for the well-being of their congregation. Leaders set the culture, inspire us, give us a safety net, and look out for us.'

In comparison to Facebook's 2 billion users, there are 2.2 billion Christians around the world and 1.6 billion Muslims.

In the UK church membership has fallen from 10.6 million in 1930 to 5.4 million in 2013, a drop from 30 per cent of the population to 10 per cent.

On the odd chance that $185 is out of your budget, and if you can live without the Prada logo on your silver paper clip, Barneys sells a similar product for only $150.

On Children
Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, 
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, 
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, 
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, 
and He bends you with His might 
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, 
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

The worst part of all this is that the teachers are not only being allowed to get away with this engineering, but that they are encouraged to promote the one ideological perspective. Consider that part of the UK's £20 Billion budget per year membership of the EU is spent on EU colouring books for kindergarten children, and you'll begin to understand the depth of indoctrination processes happening today.

After conducting a multi-center, phase-3, double-blind, placebo controlled, independently reviewed study, encompassing 39 countries, various undersea kingdoms, and the moon, I’ve concluded that the best reason parents shouldn’t home-school their children is: They can’t.

They can’t, because the public education they received was so wan and thin and bereft of substance, they’re unfit to teach.- Jon Rappoport

“Why is it that millions of children who are pushouts or dropouts amount to business as usual in the public schools, while one family educating a child at home becomes a major threat to universal public education and the survival of democracy?” (Professor Stephen Arons.

It is interesting that by being a moderate leader and trusting of his people and allowing them access to the wider world, both electronically and intellectually, Bashar al-Assad has inadvertently - or perhaps by design helped to keep Syria independent and sovereign, despite the established media's lies that the ‘moderate' rebels are winning.

Now of course, you'll never fully wake up. None of us will. It isn't a race to see who can get to the finish line first; it's an individual experience of continually becoming more conscious, whilst others do the same too.

" Thus, the real purpose of the education system is to cultivate conformity and prohibit critical thinking about anything of real importance."
