Things the Education System and Mass Media Don't Tell You

The real world rulers own and control the major corporations (weapons, gold, drugs, oil... ) and the banks. They have a secret worldwide agenda that doesn't involve having our best interests at heart as we-the-people. The senior politicians; presidents and prime ministers... etc ultimately do not serve we-the-people but are there to do the deeds needed for this secret worldwide agenda dictated to them by their lords and masters the elite world rulers.

If the people at large knew this, then because of its unpopularity they would revolt and eventually overwhelm the world rulers and their associate politicians in numbers. So, to cover up the truth, to avoid getting found out, that the worldwide agenda is a secret enslavement plan and to successfully implement it, the world rulers have to control just about every subject under the sun.

This grand deception relies greatly on influencing the consensus of the masses through the manipulation of 2 subject areas: The mass media and education system. Both are controlled by the world rulers. In these areas people's thoughts, feelings, attitudes and social behaviours... have been manipulated through various organisations funded by the world rulers to produce the desired behavioural effects in order to advance the worldwide agenda. Most people at large have been so well manipulated into obedience or compliance they have no idea that this is going on.

The world rulers just want you to fit into their boxes and be compliant. There are 3 boxes: Box 1 comprises children and young people receiving education. Box 2 is the working age group, while box 3 is made up of retirees. Because box 3 is unproductive, not serving the corporate/banker worldwide agenda, then the world rulers do not want this group: They have plans to make it more and more difficult for retirees to survive and be self-sufficient...

However, having said all that, people are slowly but surely waking up and realising what's going on. That the education and media systems have been controlled and manipulated with all its lies, deceptions and cover-ups to produce the desired behavioural effects in the masses for an enslavement agenda.

Given the realization that we-the-people at large are being screwed what can we do about it? If you've looked at the websites with their authors, reiterating what I've been writing about here in this article then what are YOU going to do about it? How could you ground this information and its implications into your reality, to produce a turn around and make something wonderful happen?

The crux of the matter is that we have come to a fork in the road: Humanity has to choose VHS over the Betamax option: That is, we must choose freedom over slavery or face dire consequences.

Parents of Aspergers Children, Don't Be Intimidated by Medical and Educational Professionals

After raising children for sixteen years, I've learned to trust my instincts. In fact, one psychologist told me that I have a PhD in my children. In this particular case he was referring to my autistic son, who was five years old at the time.

He said, "You've been studying him for five years now. That's how long it takes some psychologists to earn their PhD. You are an expert on your son. Don't let anyone tell you different."

Medical Personnel:

I wish I had this much confidence in myself when my middle son was an infant. I kept taking him in for his well baby check ups and complained about developmental delays. He was months behind his brother for smiling, babbling, crawling, walking, talking, etc.

I was intimidated into not looking for answers for three years by one simple comment from his doctor. "Oh, you had the perfect child first." When my son was three and a half years old, I ventured to ask my own physician in the same family practice. She administered some developmental tests on the spot. Then she immediately handed me a referral to a children's developmental clinic.

It turned out I was correct in my concern. My son received the diagnosis of Aspergers Syndrome from this clinic. Fortunately, my son was not adversely affected by the delay in a diagnosis and early interventions.

Educational Professionals:

When I took my son into preschool, the vice principal told me that my son was too young to receive a diagnosis of Aspergers Syndrome. When I requested my son be tested for speech and language disabilities, I was told that he had none. The Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) my son had at the beginning of preschool was withdrawn.

In kindergarten my son came home thirty-eight days in a row having had a wetting accident during class. I thought I had complained to everyone that something was wrong. Maybe I did and maybe I didn't. All I know is after a meeting between my attorney and specialists and the school board's vice superintendent, attorney and the school's principal, my son was immediately moved to a different classroom and teacher. The wetting accidents stopped.

There was a discrepancy between the quality of work he was bringing home and what he was doing at home. I felt my son had a learning disability. The school did not. I went to the local learning disability advocates who confirmed that the school did not have to do anything more for my child. I hired an attorney and educational consultant who affirmed my position.

In the end, I did not continue with the services of the hired professionals. Once I had begun to trust in my own instincts, I began advocating on my own for my son. Eventually we did receive a new IEP for my son. He went from a child in the top two thirds of his class to earning straight 'A' report cards and being placed in the Honors program.

John Dewey and Education

No discussion on educational reform will be complete without looking into the educational philosophy espoused by John Dewey. The progressive education movement was led by John Dewey. Progressive education sought to revolutionize the way students learn from a traditional test-driven, textbook and rote learning-oriented system to an experiential and project-based mode of learning.

His educational philosophy was well laid out in his book Experience and Education. He laid emphasis on a hands-on approach rooted in experience for nurturing and stimulating the curiosity of students. However, he was against a rigid or dogmatic adherence to one particular approach and felt an open approach incorporating the best practices of different approaches towards learning was the way forward. John Dewey voiced his concern that the extremes of progressive and child-centred education which focused on complete freedom could result in chaos and felt a flexible structured approach was important in experiential learning.

John Dewey put forward a theory of experience to be incorporated into the educational approach that he envisioned. In his theory of experience, John Dewey defined two aspects necessary for imparting education in an experiential mode, namely continuity and interaction.

Continuity takes into the account the importance of each prior experience affecting each new experience of a student or individual and shaping their perspectives and insights. John Dewey thus highlighted the importance of experiential learning building on a learner's prior experience and knowledge and the importance of continuity in a learning experience.

Interaction refers to the level of involvement of the learner to a particular learning experience which directly correlates with the prior experience of the learner and the learner's own inner motivation, perceptions and goals.

John Dewey's philosophy on education also laid great emphasis on the psychological and social aspects of a student's life that had a great impact on his/her experience. Traditional approaches on the other hand neglected this important factor that affected each experience of a student. He felt that the teacher needs to be a facilitator and guide who empathizes with the learner instead of an authoritarian figure who invokes fear in the minds of the learner. He felt that each new experience should arouse the curiosity of the student to develop new interests and broader perspectives and should enable the student to relate to his/her immediate surroundings.

John Dewey's philosophy of education thus envisioned a dream of education leading to an enhancement of social consciousness for the betterment of society.
