Speaker 1: The following presentation Isabel Marvis Studio's production.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to singers from around the world. It's time
for another edition of the Fact Hunter podcast. As we
record on this Monday, June the fifteenth, twenty twenty sixth
and I hope this message finds you well. Hope you
had a great weekend. The weather today has been phenomenal.
Eighty degrees, a nice breeze, about a fifteen degree drop
from last week. It was just insufferable, but a beautiful
couple of days before it starts to go back up again.
I hope everybody's doing well. And as we kick off
the summer, I hope you all have some downtime to
spend with your family and your friends. One quick note
kind of a thank you before we get started today.
The website Million Podcasts, they just release their list of
the best one hundred conspiracy podcasts in the country. We
fall into conspiracy, although we like to use the word truther,
but again we're number seven and we appreciate that. That again,
that's on a Million Podcasts, their list of one hundred
best conspiracy podcasts in the United States. So tip of
the cap. There you go. So today the longtime listeners
to this podcast know that this particular subject is near
and dear to my heart, and that is the American
education system. Now I'm going to have to provide a
supplemental podcast at some point to really help folks understand
how deep this goes. So this is obviously layer six
of the matrix, and the Rockefellers how they were able
to infiltrate the same way Gates is able to infiltrate,
and the people who are pallunteer are able to infiltrate.
All these corporate entities are able to get into the
government and take this power without being voted on in
a country where that's kind of what democracy is supposed
to be. We all get together and we you know,
the majority of rules basically, but we really live in
a time now there's nothing different than what King George
the Third was. If you have executive privileges and you
can put pen to paper and put anything to law,
and people will argue, well, you know, the Supreme Court
they can strike down this and that. Let me just
tell you something. Just go back a couple episodes ago,
or look at the sub stack I wrote last week.
We are not We're not truly you know, the free
country that we claim to be. And at the same time,
I'm not saying that we're North Korea or any of that.
I think a lot of Again, the words that are used, right, capitalism, Well,
how can it be a capitalist country if you dictate
who stays open and who doesn't. Right, That really ends
the conversation there. But the way they hijack the education system,
and it's incredible all of these things. You don't realize
how important the Civil War was, what a tyrant Lincoln was,
and then that year eighteen seventy one when the United
States became a corporation, because that's really when the education
system started to become this private entity under the guise
of a public umbrella. So let's get into it. And again,
when most people hear discussions about the American education system,
you know, they're often told that it began with the
little schools in New England. Now that is partly true,
but long before Washington d c. Became involved, communities educated
their own children. And today I beat this. I know,
I say this all the time, but it's so heartwarming
to drive past our drive past our Amish friends and
see them at lunchtime playing softball. Bare feet, you know,
being grounded and being a young man and running around
in the sun, which is really what it was meant
to be. But here's the thing that most of your
history books won't tell you so today that your education
system is mostly governed by the state you live in,
but that Department of Education, they kind of dangle that
character above them. If you want to get this funding,
make sure you do this, this, and this now, I
will tell you as liberal as the state of Delaware
is the one thing we have. And again we have
a man who costplays as a woman that holds quite
a bit of power in this state. And that's shocking
that in twenty twenty six that that would even be
a thing. Tim McBride is his real name, but he
he costplays and calls himself Sarah. But the fact is
churches played a central role right before nineteen thirty three,
when you had somebody falling upon difficult times, they didn't
go to the local government office. They went to the church.
The churches were the center of the community. And when
you get to the seventies, we'll get to it. You're
going to see exactly how they subverted the communities and
just destroyed it. So you had the churches, the parents,
You had states such as Massachusetts, they were really the
first big one. They developed the public schools, and then
you had the quote unquote reformers like Horace Mann who
promoted what became known as today's you know, school movement.
So by the mid eighteen hundreds, many northern communities in
the Thirteen Colonies, they had already had tax supported public education. Okay,
but that's not the story we're told to focus on.
That's really the question isn't when the schools first appeared.
The question is when education began moving from a local
community responsibility toward this state and national system with centralized goals.
And that is the key here. Now we're going to
go to eighteen seventy one, and it's interesting because they
always say eighteen seventy one. The Civil War ended in
eighteen sixty five, so there's always that six year gap there,
and that's something that we're going to be talking about
in the near future as well. This below the surface
struggle for power that a certain group infiltrated, but that's
down the road. So reconstruction, when the Organic Act, you know,
when all that came about, you had reconstruction all of this,
these things started to blossom. You had the United States
Office of Education. Officially, its purpose was modest, just like
right in seventeen eighty seven, we're going to replace the
Articles of Confederation with this constitution. We're going to just
a little bit of federal power. You'll never even notice it, right,
it's always under the guise of that right, it was
just gathering statistics. We're just going to track educational outcomes.
We're going to provide information to fellow states to see what,
you know, if Rhode Island's doing really well, we want
to share that information with Pennsylvania. It had no direct
authority to force policies on anyone. Education remained a largely
state and local matter. Yet you know the deal, guys.
History always shows that major transformations begin with these little
institutions that appear small and harmless, and they're here to help. Now.
First comes the collection of information, then comes the identification problems,
then the recommendation of solutions, and then standards emerge all
of these things. And the Office of Education didn't instantly
create some national school system. Here's what it did do.
It created this mechanism through which the education could increasingly
be studied, measured, compared, and basically be shaped on a
broader scale more than ever before now. At the time,
educational goals were varied dramatically from state to state. You
had Massachusetts, they had one set of priorities. The Southern
States obviously recovering from war, they had a whole other
set of priorities. Then you had your Western territories. They
were facing entirely different challenges. So there was no true
national consensus on what education should accomplish. And I want
you to think about that. Okay, they have basically made
this concentration of education across our country. But every family
and every community have different needs. So why aren't if
you live in a rural community those education system that
should offer you know, you have your four ah clubs
and things of that. In nature, Why aren't you, like
my daughter, raising chickens, tilling the land, you know, the
corn and the beets and all of the other things
that go along with it. If you know how to
grow your own food, that's what they don't want you
to do. They want you to rely on the system. Right,
And I still believe there's going to come a time
in the next ten years when they're going to really
hammer down on backyard chickens, where if you go back
to the twenties and thirties, there were the government actually
paid for magazine space to telling people, you know, raise
your own chickens. You should have. Was it one chicken
per person in the family, right, because your average chicken,
or maybe it was two to one, I forget what
it was. But you have your own eggs, you have
your own food, you raise meat birds eight to ten weeks,
I'm telling you get fifteen birds from Murray's right, and
fifteen weeks later you have your own homegrown chickens. Now,
not all of you are able to pull that off.
I certainly get that, but there are so many ways
you can hack the system. But again, sorry, this is
what makes this particular moment so important. Now as we
go through this episode, and we've talked a lot over
the years about the education system, but we're going to
ask a question that few people have ever even stopped
to consider, and that is, when education becomes standardized, who
determines the standards? And I know you've heard that said
many times on this right. When public speech becomes questioned,
when free free speech parton me right, who is the adjudicator.
Oh no, that's hate speech. Well who says, Because now again,
if you put revelation to or three to nine into
many social media platforms, you will get suspended. So again,
they are slowly normalizing, and that's what they do. They
are slowly normalizing the abstention of the Bible. Now when
history is taught, and we know who controls the history books,
who gets to decide which stories are emphasized and which
you're forgotten? Again, I had no idea about the USS
Liberty until I had an advanced history two class in
Texas A and M. And it was a paragraph. It
was a paragraph about Israel's accidental, you know, shooting of
the USS Liberty and duds in my history books. So
of course I believed it, you know, And then you
start to open your eyes, you kind of sneak into
the truth community, and then you find these websites about
the USS Liberty. And then a couple of years later,
I had two of the survivors on this podcast telling
the true story, and that was such an eye opener.
And then I realized too. There were many times when
I was in Iraq, we'd be on a mission, whether
it was operations Swarmer or what went down with Saddam right,
And we'd go to the chow hal or we'd look
on our little computer on the CNN dot com or whatever,
and we're like, wow, that's not really how it went down.
And then you start to understand that they have to
form that narrative. And you know, history is his story,
the victor's story. So and then again, you know, like
we said, when history is taught, who decides which stories
get printed in the history book? But this is one
step further. When education becomes standardized, who determines the standards?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: So the battle for education has never been about the reading, writing,
and arithmetic, or the three hours as they used to
call it. It has always been about shaping the minds
of the next generation. And I'll tell you, boy, and
I know there's somebody out there listening right now that
understands what I'm about to say. I've had many close
friends who their child were good, god fearing Christians and
then went off to college and came back four years
later a completely transformed person, different set of values. And
that's is that really what college is supposed to be about? Now?
Is the nineteenth century, you know, gave way into the
twentieth century. In the early nineteen hundreds, the education in
America it entered a brand new phase. So we saw
wealth on a scale never seen before started flowing into
these schools and universities and foundations, educational organizations, and of
course the teachers Union. I'd argue that's probably the second
or third toughest union in the country. Now. At the
center of that transformation was John D. Rockefeller, and through
the General Education Board, which was established in nineteen oh two,
Rockefeller money became one of the most influential forces in
all of American education. What had once been largely local,
community and church centered increasingly found itself connected to foundations,
to boards, to the quote unquote experts like we saw
in twenty twenty, and administrators operating far beyond the town's square.
So the General Education Board didn't emerge from this gathering
of school teachers. Actually, I should probably stop for a second.
I told you we need to have a supplemental podcast
in the very near future. It'll probably be the early July.
But I will tell you the Rockefeller Foundation, anybody can pull.
Their last filing was twenty twenty four, and their net
assets alone five and a half billion with the b dollars.
So again, these nonprofits are merely shells for the controlling elites.
Whatever term hidden hand whatever. They're not very hidden when
you say their name, but you get it right that
you know they use these billions and what it is.
They take the corporate money, they shuffle it in here,
and then they use this money to control the minds
in the future, to bring about this one world government,
you know, the endgame, right. But these General Education Board
once again, it emerged from meetings attended by these financiers, industrialists, bankers, educators.
You had names such as Frederick T. Gates, Daniel Gilman,
George Foster, Peabody yep, that Peabody, Morris, Jessup, Walter Page,
and all of these surround the Rockefeller family. Pardon me,
as these plans were laid for new educational vision, just
like the meeting a jeckyel Island, right, how we're going
to move forward? So these men moved comfortably between banking, philanthropy,
academia and all these little government circles, and they viewed
society as something that should be studied, organized and managed
and controlled. Now I know we've said the name Frederick
Gates many times on this podcast. He became one of
the most influential figures in this effort. Gate was more
than an advisor to Rockefeller. He was an architect of
philanthropy strategy. He understood that lasting influences did not come
from building businesses. It came from shaping institutions. The universities,
which is such a big one, and then the one
we've talked about many times, to the medical schools, right,
and if you want to have a certified medical school,
you have to get that Rockefeller approval. Now, education systems, right,
they shape the future citizens. So a generation raised under
a particular worldview often accepts its assumptions without question. So
the influence over education extends far beyond the classroom and
reaches into government, media, science, business, and even culture itself.
So the early twentieth century it witnessed the rise of
enormous foundations that possessed resources rivaling those of governments around
the world, truly rivaling some countries GDPs. So the Rockefellers
it was not just education obviously, medicine, agriculture, public health,
social research, and their supporters described these efforts as modernization
and progress. Their critics saw something different. They understood that
this private wealth was exercising extraordinary influence over public life.
They saw how unelected officials helping determine what should be taught,
what should be funded, what should be studied, what or
how the children's minds should be molded. And these are
not generally morally good people. Now, as these networks expanded,
education increasingly shifted towards standardization, credentialing, and administration. So the
emphasis moved away from local trade and towards systems managed
by experts. All these schools started to reflect one another.
The curriculum became centralized. The testing, right the end of
the year, we all have that standardized test to see
how the school did. And then they started doing credentialing,
and all these things were ways to get you to
conform to a certain way. Right, we're going to get
you to hear in order you to get here, you
have to go to four years of school, which we're
going to mold your mind. And oh, by the way,
we're going to set you back one hundred thousand dollars
in debt. And again I've said this millions of time
we pay for our own demise. It's one hundred percent.
True credentials became a gateway for employment and advancement, and
a person's ability to navigate institutions became as important as wisdom,
character or even independent thoughts. So this transformation occurred alongside
the growth of very powerful institutions, right you hear when
you think about these big organizations, you think of banks,
major corporations and things like that. But when you understand
that the gross net of education, you look at just
a couple of these Ivy League schools and how much
they're worth, it's mind blowing, it truly is. Now. The
thing is, you're going to see the same names appearing
on the same boards, commissions, advisory groups. It's always that
same circle of influential people who possess the extraordinary ability
to shape public policy. And we see it today here
in twenty twenty six. Generations of students pass through remarkably
similar systems across the country. They consume the same narratives,
and they come out of school with the same assumptions
about authority. Well, I got to follow the rules. I
can't think freely. History. We're told we've won every war
and the good guys always win. And you know, you
don't get the truth. You don't read about the Helota
more and the Cayton massacre, and why the truth about
why Mare, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, What really happened
all of these things? Right? Whoever shapes the worldview of
children genuinely shapes the worldview of tomorrow's leaders, teachers, pastors, judges, journalists,
and parents. And we were blessed enough to put on
the glasses that God offered to us in twenty twenty.
And you know, ten fifteen years ago, I would have
told you I'd be the last guy who would have homeschooled.
That was such a major decision for myself and my wife.
It's it seems overwhelming, But when you actually take a
step to change your life and you start to notice
the changes in that person and understand even the Bible
tells us that, you know, it's our responsibility to shape
our children's mind, it just becomes we have normalized so
many of these things, right, and we can't continue to
do the same thing and expect things to change right.
And the reality explains why education has always been really
contested ground. The battle for schools has never been confined
to textbooks and lessons plans, because it reaches into questions
of truth, morality, history, faith, authority, even the direction of
our country itself one hundred percent. And now you see
some of the things that go on in these public schools,
the you know, the pride flags that hang in classrooms,
and if you don't accept, you know, the Sadamite next
to you, then you that equals hate. When the Bible
clearly states if you see somebody sinning, rebuke them, and
if they repent, forgive them. God never told you to
stand by and watch sin happen without saying anything. One
hundred percent. So if Rockefeller money supplied the fuel, John
Dewey supplied the philosophy. Dewey is widely regarded as the
father of progressive education in America, and his influence on
teacher colleges, universities, how they develop the curriculum and the
educational theory can't be overstated. He is really a large
reason why we have these huge progressive liberal colleges in
our world today because for generations educators have been trained
in systems shaped by his ideas. It went from teaching
math to teaching Marxism. Do we believe education should play
a central role in shaping society. He viewed schools not
simply as places where facts were transmitted from one generation
to the next. But Dewey was all about using school
as an instrument for creating a new social order. Where
have you heard that term before? So he saw classrooms
as laboratories, and children became subjects of this educational theory,
and society itself became something to be engineered through education.
And he's the one who really do he did to
start to reach out side the realm of what a
school should be.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: We think for school, it's a place where you go.
Obviously you're respectful to the teachers, but you're there to learn, right.
The three ares, reading, writing, and arithmetic. But Dewey was
the one who's like, now, I think that's a great
place to capture the minds of the children. And you know,
social reform is really a great place that we can
use the school for this social reform. He made a
case that the importance of education right not only is
a place to gain knowledge, but as a place to
learn to live. So, in his eyes, the purpose of
education shouldn't revolve around the acquisition of a predetermined set
of skills, but realize the once potential and the ability
to use those schools for the or the skills. I
should say for the greater good. And anytime you hear
that quote for the greater good, you know that. You
know they're talking about Marxism and communism. It's these people
who get involved. And again, shame on us. Right if
you listen to Bill Cooper's classic audio Sunday Night, it's it.
You know, if somebody, if there's a group of people
controlling us, shame on us for allowing it to happen.
That's the bottom line. A lot of people don't get
we allow it to happen. And yeah, we go on
social media and we get mad and type our things
out there. But it's just as easy to you know,
find like minded people and walk away from the system.
For generations, educators have been trained in systems shaped by
his ideas. So again, for centuries, you know, education in
America rested on a completely different foundation. The Bible was
the central place in learning. So these children had a good,
centered moral compass, and students were taught the truth that
existed independent of human opinion. Because that's the problem in
most of these schools today. These teachers want to use
their opinion and their political thoughts and infuse it in
the education system. So back then, morality flowed from God
rather than government. Human rights came from the creator, not
the institutions. The purpose of education was to cultivate wisdom
and character and self discipline and knowledge. As these foundations weakened,
a different philosophy emerged. Truth became increasingly subjective, morality became negotiable,
and authority shifted from scripture to experts. The source of
wisdom moved from God's word to professional institutions.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: At the same time time, the structure of education increasingly
reflected the needs of an industrial society, So students moved
through schools in age groups. The bells dictated movement right,
just like an industrial society. Even back to Fred Flintstone,
Yaba dabado right, four o'clock the bell rings, he flies off.
The dinosaur schedules regulated behavior, testing measured compliance with prescribed standards,
and how do they judge success well? It depended upon
giving approved answers rather than asking the difficult questions, So
independent thought became secondary to mastering the system itself. So
a child quickly learned that challenging assumptions could create problems
while repeating accepted conclusions produced rewards. And that ladies and gentlemen,
just when a child learns that challenging assumptions creates problems
while repeating accepted conclusions produces rewards. That's why we're we're
in the predicament we're in. When you try to tell
someone the truth about nine to eleven Oklahoma City, you
name it, you get the zombie stare because they're not
used to challenging assumptions. And they've repeated ten thousand times,
you know, in fourteen ninety two Columbus ail the ocean blue.
Anything different. They just won't believe you. And all of
these evil things that they've perpetrated on us, the lie
about going to the moon, the lie of the Gulf
of Talking, allowing Pearl Harbor to happen, then al Sabahize,
the weapons of mass destructions, all those lies. We're the
ones who pay for them. They lie, We suffer in
normal life when you get caught lying, you're the one
who pays the consequences. You tell me the last time
a politician at the top of the food chain lied
and paid the price. Let's talk a little bit about
behavioral psychology. Because that added another layer to the process.
You have. Researchers such as Ivan Pavlov and Skinner explored
how behavior could be conditioned through rewards and punishments and
repetition and even environmental control. They're finding spread far beyond
psychological departments, right, Elements of behavioral conditioning found their way
into classrooms, institutions, workplaces, and of course government programs. And
human behavior increasingly became something to be managed and measured
and modified. So the language of conditioning and educational theory
often placing these older concepts such as virtue, character, and
of course moral responsibility. So over time, critical thinking often
gave way to informational consumption. So here you go. You
had students who became experts at memorize and content for
examinations and then quickly forgetting it afterward. How many times,
like for me, even when I was studying for the board. Right,
you go to a promotion board, you have to say
the nco creed right now, one is more professional than I.
I am a noncommissioned officer. Right, you give this whole thing,
and then they ask you what are the five colors
on a map? And all these questions and Sergeant Major
the five colors on a map are right, but when
you're done, it's like purge. And it was the same
for me in high school. A lot, a lot of
these classes you study, study, regurgitate, purge, study, study, study, regarditate, purge. Right.
Over time, I should say many could recite approved narratives,
but they struggled to evaluate these competing claims. Say they
learned what conclusions were acceptable before learning how to investigate
evidence independently, and curiosity became constrained by curriculum. Inquiry became
constrained by grading systems, and the student who repeated the
lesson frequently advanced, and the student who questioned the lesson
created friction. And when you're nine, ten, eleven, twelve years
old and on pardon the allergies are bad today, but
when you're that age, you don't want to be the
guy who sticks out questions autharty and get mocked, especially
at that age. And the people who created this education
system they understood that. So history is let's talk about
history itself. That became a primary battleground. Right, Every society
has their own stories. The stories selected for classrooms shape
how future generations understood the world. You had historical figures
that are elevated and diminished, events are emphasized or ignored.
And again you talk about the USS liberty. You have
entire subjects that can disappear from public awareness simply from
be excluded from a textbook. So most students never examine
primary sources. Most never compare competing interpretations. And it's sad
that for me, as a researcher, how I have to
go to yandex even has been compromised. But you basically
have to go into a search engine and then automatically
go five pages down and start looking there because the
first five pages are going to be gatekeeping narratives, right,
So they receive history through institutional institutional pardon me filters
and often assume that those filters are neutral. So by adulthood,
many possess strong opinions about events they've never personally investigated.
So over the next few days, I am putting to
pen to paper the test of asking strangers how many
buildings fell in New York City on September the eleventh.
I have a little pen and paper and not names,
just I think I'm just going to do male, female
and like age group. And it's not going to be
like forty to forty nine, it'll be a young person,
middle aged or older. I'm just going to keep those
little notes and I'm going to say, hey, how you doing.
I'm just taking a little survey for a project. I'm
doing how many buildings fell in New York City on
September eleven, two thousand and one, And I really want
to see if it's in the ninety percent area that
people say just too like how many people are awake
to building seven and those type of things. I think
it'll be interesting and I'll report that back to you
next week. So universities expanded these patterns, and higher education
increasingly became the gatekeeper for professional advancement. So again, degrees
became passports into careers. And I can't tell you how
many people I know who own businesses or are super
smart people that would be the best fit for the job,
but because they didn't spend that money and get that degree,
well they can't take that position. Even here in Delaware,
to be a chaplain in a prison, you know, you
got to have a master's and to do this, you
have to do this. It's really an organized ring. It
really is. And when you look at the textbook industy
for colleges. Get out of here. What did my wife
say the other day, twelve hundred dollars for her that
one nursing book, and that was eleven years ago. You
think it is now so psychological labeling, Let's talk about
that for a minute. That became another tool. Human struggles,
once viewed through moral, spiritual, social lenses, increasingly became categorized
through clinical terminology and brothers and sisters. That's one of
the reasons why everybody's on a medication today. Right, Some
diagnosis undoubtedly helped people receive need of treatment and support.
I do not deny that. I wanted to make that
clear up front. However, labels carry immense power. A label
can follow a person for years. And I know people
who have been psycho who have been on psychotropics for
twenty years and it's causing obvious wear and tear on
their psyche. These labels, both whether it's medical or clinical,
they shape self perception and they can influence expectations. It
determines how institutions respond to an individual. So you look
at this institution influence expanded. Right, parents found themselves displaced
from their historic role as the primary educators of their children. Okay,
churches experienced a similar decline and influence, and twenty twenty
completely now in the coffin into these churches. And I've
been talking to one of my best friends in life,
and I've really considered just kind of grasping the audio
from certain sermons from around me, who you know, broadcast
on YouTube and Facebook. Just clip the sermon, not tell
you the name of the church, not tell you the
name of the pastor, because I'm not judging their heart,
but i want to show you what is being preached here.
And maybe that's par for the course in twenty twenty six.
Maybe some of you will be blown away like I am.
Maybe it's just something I want to start doing these
kind of And again it's not to I'm not here
to be smirch any other pastors. I'm not here to
say I'm a better pastor than you. But it's very
clear when the church loses mission and it's not central
to the community anymore, what are they really doing. If
you're a church and you have eleven people coming every week,
why aren't you just meeting at your house and give
that church to somebody who's going to make a difference
in the world. So the lessons came from home congregations,
and these community relationships increasingly shifted to this state approved
riculum with credentialed experts and media platforms. Doctor was it
the science guy? Right, Bill Ny, the science Guy, and
the other knucklehead right they used to wield. I think
it was in the nineties. It was after when I
went to school, But I guess in the nineties they'd
wheeled the TV into the room and everybody watched Bill
Ny the Science Guy. And you start to understand that
we've taken our children and given them to the state,
and we're allowing the state to mold the minds of
the next generation. And then we can't figure out why
people are so happy and are not happy. They're they're
so compliant. They're okay with shutting down the church. They're
okay with shutting down their mom and pop businesses, as
long as the door dash doesn't get shut down, as
long as they don't close the liquor stores, and as
long as they can order their harmonica from Amazon and
have it here tomorrow morning from seven am to eleven am.
And look, guilty is charged with Amazon. I'm just saying
hypocrite there one hundred percent. But if it meant going back,
I would that's something I would give of course I
would give that up an RM beat. But the child
spent thousands of hours under institutional instruction while receiving only
a fraction of that time under biblical teaching. And what
we see today shouldn't surprise anyone. And again, the voice
heard most often usually becomes the voice believed most readily.
So today, here's the thing. When these children leave school today,
when these young adults, I should say, leave school today,
they leave school knowing how to pass the test. Just
think about that statement for a second. Thirteen years in
school if you count kindergarten, fourteen pre K. They know
how to pass a test, But they know do they
know how to navigate life? Like many of you, we
were never taught how to do our taxes. We just
get thrown out there and if you mess up, you
pay the price. Right. We know how to pass tests,
navigate bureaucracy. We know how to stand in line at
the driver's license right the DoD. We know how to
repeat the approved narratives. But man, too many people struggle
to identify the logical fallacies. The obvious lies come on man,
we didn't go to the moon. Get that garbage out
of our history books, right. Train these children critical skills.
You have fifty bucks, you got to get from Philly
to Boston. How can you do it? Examine original sources,
construct coherent arguments, understand biblical doctrine. Today we're going to
learn how to recognize propaganda. When you hear a term
repeated by the multiple organizations that are supposedly on different sides,
but they pair it the same narrative, Ladies and gentlemen,
that's probably propaganda. Okay. They've been taught to consume information,
but they haven't been taught to challenge it. And they've
been taught to trust the government and trust institutions don't
question them, and they've been trained to seek credentials rather
than wisdom. Let's continue on. The battle for the minds
of children didn't just begin yesterday. It has unfolded over
many generations, and the organizations in play include wealthy foundations,
government agencies, universities, and all of these professional institutions. They've
all played a role in shaping the modern educational landscape.
And anytime there's a population who is increasingly dependent upon
the experts is indeed a culture that is increasingly detached
from its biblical roots, so citizens condition to look outward
for answers rather than upward to God. So what we're
saying here is you have a generation fluent in information,
but oftentimes unfamiliar with wisdom. And Paul's warning to the
church at Colossi sounds as relevant as it did two
thousand years ago. He said, beware lest any man spoil
you through philosophy and vain deceit after the tradition of men,
after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
So the struggle has always been over truth. Whoever defines
the the truth shapes the future, and whoever shapes the
minds of the children shapes the nation that follows. Well,
that's probably one of the reasons our nation is such
a hot mess right now. So one of the most
effective ways to shape the future is to get people
to understand the past and to shape people how to
understand that. So every generation learns history. How do they
learn it? Teachers, textbooks, universities. Here's the thing. Most students
never read the original documents or compare the competing accounts.
They learn approved narratives, and they're simply tested on their
ability to repeat them. So again, the consequences extend far
beyond the classroom. A population unfamiliar with its own history
becomes easier to manipulate. So when you have people who
don't understand how these institutions gain power, well, they rarely
question why those institutions possess such power today, And historical
ignorance creates dependency. If people don't know where they came from,
once again, they become dependent upon experts to explain where
they're going. So this whole pattern has been accompanied by
a steady decline in critical thinking. Students spend years preparing
for standardized examinations, yet many struggle to evaluate evidence, identify propaganda,
to recognize logical fallacies, or even challenge assumptions. Genuine inquiry
frequently takes a backseat to institutional compliance. Now here's the thing,
this is what's kind of on our side. We can
measure their system's success. Now, longtime are going to remember
this part. Baltimore City provides one of the starkest examples.
According to the twenty twenty four National Assessment of Educational Progress,
only thirteen percent of fourth grade students and sixteen percent
of eighth grade students performed at or above the proficient
level in reading, and ladies and gentlemen, the word proficient
in the public school system is a very low bar.
That is the most extraordinary failure one could think of,
and look at the eighth grade students. More than half
of Baltimore's eighth grade students scored below the basic the
most basic cat dog the reading level. And it's not
just Baltimore, ain't Lewis. Multiple assessments show reading proficiency was
right around twenty percent nationally. The pictures equally troubling. Reading
scores have been falling for years. Recent NAAEP data showed
continued declines in reading performance across multiple grade levels, with
many students unable to demonstrate proficiency in skills considered fundamental
for academic success. Yet, we Americans are spending more money
on education than ever before. School districts they employ armies
of administrators, Universities collect billions intuition and grants and government
backed loans. Educational technology fills classrooms, Testing consumes countless hours. So,
like everything else, when the government gets bigger, when the
system grows larger and more expensive and more complex, basic
literacy the most basic of skills continue to deteriorate in
many communities. It's the system. So a person who struggles
to read deeply often struggles to investigate independently. Makes sense, right,
A person who can't easily evaluate competing sources while they
become increasingly reliant upon institutions to interpret events for him,
and a person who can't think critically becomes vulnerable to
manipulation from politicians, corporations, etc. Etc. Et cetera. That reality
explains why literacy and critical thinking are inseparable. Reading isn't
merely an academic skill. It is one of the primary
defenses against deception. A population capable of reading original documents
and examining evidence and drawing independent conc inclusions, well, they
become more difficult to control. A population that consumes information
without questioning it becomes remarkably easy to influence. So you
think about it. They keep us all in lockstep from
the time we're born until the time we go back
into the ground. Right, we from dust to dust. Right
were born. They vaccinate you, and then you're on the
bus back in two and from school for twelve years,
and then you're in the workforce. They keep everything orderly
and at bay. That's the biggest thing. They keep you
at bay. And you know, if you believe again the
Founding Father's story. The founders of America understood this principle.
The Reformers understood it. The Church understood it when it
translated the Scripture into common languages for ordinary people, when
the Gutenberg printing press came about and people were able
to read for themselves. The ability to read for oneself
has always been linked to freedom. The inability to do
so has always benefited those seeking power over others. And
in this world we live in where people blindly defend
things they know absolutely nothing of. I've had people who
have never left this state try to debate me on
Middle Eastern geopolitics. I spent six years of my life
over there. I lived with them, and people try to
debate me and tell me I'm wrong. That's because of
what they've been taught in school. Are you kidding me?
One of the greatest casualties of modern education has been
critical thinking. And I've of you to I know every
one of us has those rabbit holes. We don't want
to look down because we're afraid we're going to be
labeled man. Once that veil is dropped from your eyes.
You understand everything so much easier. All the fear is gone.
But the ability to ask questions and challenge assumptions, examine evidence,
and follow truth wherever it leads has steadily been replaced
by something far more useful to large institutions. That's the
C word compliance. A student enters school full of curiosity. Right,
do you remember when you were five or six and
you start school how exciting it was? Now? I know
not for everybody, it might have been intimidating, but I
think most humans inherently want to learn now during our time.
This is the part that I think a lot of
people miss. When you're a young man or a boy
turning into a young man, it's very hard to stay
focused on schoolwork. Right. That's why I don't like the
school model today. I loathe it. Keeping a boy in
a chair for seven or eight hours a day, driving
them twenty thirty, forty to fifty minutes to a school,
and propagandized all of the things. Not enough exercise, not
out there getting the vitamin D. It's just not a
good plan. But they're full of curiosity and they ask
the obvious questions. That gets snuffed out through the school system. Right,
we ask the questions, why is the sky blue? Why
do we do things this way? Why should I believe that? Right?
When you're a child, Right, everybody, when you were in class,
when you were younger, that why why? Always asking why?
And listen, maybe you were that one, and there's a
good chance many of you are. That's why you're listening
to this podcast and not a wrestling podcast or an
ice hockey podcast or one of the Hollywood Stars podcasts. Right,
But somewhere along the line, many learn that questioning approved narratives,
they carry the consequences, and it's better to memorize the
lesson to get that A on the class so you
can get called up at the end of the market
period and get your ribbon. That model produces workers far
more efficiently than it produces thinkers. A thinker asks who benefits.
A thinker follows the money. A thinker compares competing explanations.
A thinker reads original documents and notices contradictions, and that
person becomes difficult to manipulate because he or she does
not automatically accept claims based upon authority alone. So you
look at the difference between a worker and a thinker.
A worker follows instructions well, A thinker asks whether the
instructions are justified. A worker accepts the narrative. A thinker
investigates the narrative. A worker waits for experts. A thinker
examines the evidence. Large institutions have always preferred workers right. Factories, bureaucracies, corporations, governments.
Economies built on consumption requires workers who will earn, borrow, spend,
and repeat. Independent thinkers are far less predictable. We ask
uncomfortable questions. Right every time somebody posts something on social media.
We don't just like it because of who said it.
We like the content, not so much the person who
posts it. Look at the podcast industry. I have been
in this industry. When did I start doing the twenty eighteen,
twenty nineteen, just say seven years, okay, seven years, fifteen
hundred or whatever podcast we've done.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: It exists because millions of people have discovered that they
are no longer satisfied with these official explanations. Obviously, not
every podcast is a critical thinking podcast, but you're seeing
more and more of them. They want to hear different viewpoints,
and they want to hear people asking questions. Is that
the corporate media won't ask whether one agrees with every
alternative voice. Well, that's beside the point. The explosive growth
of podcasts demonstrate a hunger for independent thought that many
traditional institutions have failed. Now, the Internet should have really
ushered in a golden age of critical thinking, and it
was a flash in the pan before you know, I
think Google bought YouTube and you know, the wild Wild
West disappeared, right, But you know, many people use this
unprecedented access. You know, the first generation that is able
to pull up this you know what is this three
and a half by six inch piece of plastic and
you have access to millions upon millions of podcasts on
YouTube and Spotify at your convenience. Now, listen. When I
was twelve thirteen, when I was doing my reports, we
had the library and in my house we had encyclopedias
that we're probably twenty years old, fifteen years old. I
think they were from the mid sixties. I know they
had the jfk assassination in there. And it told me
very madly, matter of factly, that Lee Harvey Oswald was
a lone gunman and that Abraham Lincoln was the greatest
president of all time. I'm not even sure it covered
the moon landing yet, but I wish I still had
those encyclopedias right, So you know, back to this, Students
often graduate with these strong opinions on complex social and
political issues, but the thing is they possess little understanding
of the arguments on the other side. They learn what
position that they should hold before they learn what the
opposing position is. They're trained to identify approved conclusions rather
than evaluate competing evidence. And what I'm getting at here
is that's why, from the matrix's point of view, the
left right paradigm is so successful. That's one of the
greatest things they use to divide us conquered divide us.
But a truly educated person should be able to explain
both sides of an argument fairly, or at least listen
to right. He should understand why reasonable people disagree. He
should be capable of defending his position through evidence and
logic rather than slogans. If I hear hold the line
Patriot one more time, I'm going to drop a Macha
man elbow on somebody. I'm telling you. But you know,
if you think about it, is ignorance the greatest danger.
I don't know ignorance can be corrected through learning. When
you think about it, I think the greatest danger is
the illusion of knowledge. I think there's some people out
there who watch Bill and the Science Guy, and they
think they're super smart people. A person who knows he
lacks information, they remain teachable. But a person convinced he
already possesses the truth well, they often stop asking questions altogether,
and Scripture repeatedly warns against this trap. Proverbs eighteen seventeen
declares that he is first in his own cause seemeth just,
but his neighbor cometh and searcheth him. In other words,
he hears both sides, examines the evidence, tests the claim,
and refuses to accept conclusions simply because they're popular. And
that principle sits at the heart of critical thinking. The
battle for education is ultimately a battle over the mind.
A society filled with independent thinkers becomes difficult to deceive,
and a society trained to accept conclusions without examination becomes
vulnerable to every form of manipulation. The future belongs to
whichever group succeeds in shaping how the next generation thinks
or what they think at all. Behavioral conditioning is one
of the least discussed yet most powerful aspects of modern education.
A child enters school with curiosity, imagination, and a willingness
to challenge what he sees around him, and sadly, year
after year that child is taught to operate within these guardrails.
With this increasingly rigid structure, and all critical thinking, probably
by third or fourth grade, is out the door. The
bells determined movement, the authorities determine acceptable behavior, and of course,
the tests determine success, and the approved answers are the
ones that receive the rewards, and this conditioning creates habits
that follow students into adulthood. Many no longer ask whether
an authority is correct. They ask whether the authority has credentials.
They no longer seek evidence first. They wait for the
experts to interpret the evidence for them, which means they're
not seeking wisdom, they're seeking approval. The university often serves
as the final stage of that process. Right the students
arrive on campus after more than a decade of institutional conditioning,
many are away from the home for the first time.
The worldview is still forming, their identity is still being developed,
and this creates an environment where this ideological framework can
be introduced with enormous effectiveness, and for decades many university
especially here in Delaware, have embraced the theories that are
rooted in Marxism traditions, or I should say Marxist traditions.
Pardon me, but the languages may differ from the economic
Marxism of the twentieth century, but the framework remains the same.
Society is divided into oppressors and the oppressed, and power
becomes the primary lens through which history is interpreted. And
that's where all these self loathing, miserable people come from.
These traditional institutions are viewed with suspicion, and inherited beliefs
are treated as obstacles to progress. And that's important. Traditional institutions.
I saw on the news. You know, every time you
feel a little bit like, you know, I'd like to
go back into normal land just a little bit, you know,
I how many hours of lectures and preparing and everything
that goes on life. Sometimes you just want to put
your old behind on the sofa and put your feet up,
just for a few minutes and watch an inning or
two of a ballgame. And then the news comes on
and the Commissioner of the MLB is going off on
these guys for putting Bible verses on their pride hats.
I think it was the giants and this is the
latest thing, right, the dividing Conker shout out to. I
think Josh Howley. I just saw before I came back
on and started recording this part too, that he actually
put a letter out. We live in an upside down world.
We truly do, you know. Pride is the reason Lucifer
fell and became Satan. Right, was kicked out of Heaven
Pride before the fall, and they hijacked the Lord's covenant
with us after the flood. And again right, if you
watch mash back in the seventies, Clinger he used to
wear a dress so he could get a Section eight
and get sent home from Korea. Back in the day,
it was declared a mental problem. And now if you
write a Bible verse and don't bow a knee to
men wearing dresses, you are the problem. And that's exactly
what they're talking about here. Traditional institutions, right, nuclear families,
they are the bad ones. Students are frequently taught to
view family faith, patriotism, free markets, and Western civilization through
a framework of systematic oppression and power struggles as if
we're the only country in the world that has had
issues before. History becomes a story of victim groups and
oppressor groups, and personal responsibility takes a backseat to structural explanations.
Success is increasingly attributed attributed pardon me, to privilege rather
than discipline, sacrifice, talent, or character. The result is a
worldview that sees conflict everywhere, yet there's no reconciliation. Entire
generations are encouraged to define themselves by grievances instead of gratitude,
and you know, these identity categories that you see rather
than individual responsibility. But you know what, we still conquer
all with love. Even I just got home, had lunch
with my best friend of forty years, and we kill
them with kindness, even the people we pray out loud
before we eat. And you know, we don't hate. We love.
That doesn't mean that if you see somebody sinning, you
don't rebuke them, and if they repent, you forgive them.
But at the same time, when we see these people
who have that mindset that they want you to argue
with them, they truly do. And you know, when you
come upon those situations you realize how the irony is
so difficult to ignore because you have all these students
leaving universities and they champion these ideologies. Number One, they
don't even fully grasp it's because they want to be
part of a club, feel part of a group. But
they have failed repeatedly throughout history. Marxist systems produce poverty.
Listen to all these things. This list I came up with, poverty, censorship, surveillance,
political repression, labor camps, mass death. Whatever they gain power
were to labor camps. We're on the cusp of labor camps.
And when all the people say there's no way that
will ever happen, man, and you say, oh yes, it
already did eighty years ago, Genius, It already happened, and
it will again. You don't take that mark of the beast,
You're gone. They're going to take your property, and most people,
sadly will fold under pressure. And here I am talking
about it. It's gonna be a whole different world. You know.
I didn't take the jab, but I've said, and I'm
being frank and honest with you as open as I
can be. If I was still in the military in
twenty nineteen where I'm sorry it was say, I guess
the job started at the end of twenty twenty early
twenty twenty one. I retired in twenty fifteen. But I mean,
imagine the guy who had nineteen years in the military,
breaking his back, multiple deployments, and you know he's on
the cusp of getting a pension and health insurance for
his families, you know, and it's jabber job. That's why
I never judged people. But it wasn't the mark of
the beast either. You were basically putting your physical health
on the line, which was a lot. And I had
a moral problem with it, of course I did. Right,
If you don't have physical autonomy, you have nothing. However,
when that next one comes around, there's no repenting for it.
You're doomed. You're done. So remember that. But you know,
whether it was the Soviet Union, to maus China, Cambodia
under Polepot meant all of it. It is sustained with
suffering on a scale that for many of us, I
don't think, especially these younger people. You know, I've seen suffering,
But for many people, they just can't comprehend a lot
of people in this country they think they are going
through a difficult time. And I'm not saying they're not.
People go through a difficult time. People go through Kensington
and Baltimore and even Dover. Now, sure there's people going
through a difficult time. But when you have an entire
country that you know, when you have millions of people
that can't even feed themselves, that that's on a level
that we truly don't see. But many graduates emerging know
far more about the alleged futures, or actually say failures
of capitalism than the documented failures of Marxism. Now again,
I say that with this. Last week, I did write
an article on my substack. Please go to substack slash
the fact Hunter subscribe and look at the article I
wrote last week. We are no longer a capitalist country,
that's a fact. Now, we're not full blown the United
Socialist States of America either, the USSA, However, free markets
are supposed to be free markets. This government is not
stopping monopolies whatsoever, and the little guy has no shot
against corporate America anymore. But at the same time, we're
not full blown communist either. But the modern university increasingly
resembles an ideological sorting mechanism, So students who confirm prevailing
viewpoints are rewarded socially and academically. And I can tell you,
and I'm going to stop short, that I have seen
at firsthand, very recently. So those who challenge prevailing assumptions
often discover that open inquiry as its limits. Certain ideas
may be debated endlessly. Other ideas, well, they're declared unacceptable
before the discussion even begins. How painful is that when
you go to a class or whatever the situation is,
and you have a subject that you want to approach
from your viewpoint and to get it out there, and
then the group sits down and the teacher says, Okay,
we're going to get started and today we're going to
discuss this. However, we are not. I don't want anybody
mentioning this, this or this. And that's one of the
points that you had. That is just right. That's not
intellectual freedom, that that's approved boundaries, and that is what
just extinguishes critical thinking. And this outcome has been seen
throughout history. You have young adults graduating with degrees, debts,
strong opinions, but many have never seriously examined the philosophical
foundations beneath the ideas they champion. They have learned activism
before wisdom, and again they know the slogans throughout history
they outrage before they discern right. And the battle for
education has always been a battle for allegiance. Whoever shapes
the worldview of young people influences the future. So whoever
controls the classroom today influences culture tomorrow. So the struggle
isn't merely over curriculum. It's over the truth itself. As
Colossians two eight warns, beware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain desy after the tradition of men,
after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
That's important to repeat. Psychological labeling has become one of
the defining characteristics of a modern society. Every human struggle
increasingly receives a category, diagnosis and labels. Remember, and this
is the one that infuriates me. Children who once might
have been described as energetic, sure, distracted, and rebellious. I
was labeled a daydreamer. I remember getting yelled at. I
was playing left field in a little big game. I
always wanted to pitch, so I was out left field.
You know, imaginary pitching at six or seven years old,
and the coach is like, you're in left field. You're
not pitching hobbs. Get your head in the game right.
But they didn't take me to the psychiatrist and get
me on riddlin for it. You understand, It's just that,
you know, I'm telling you the power of a label.
You can't underestimate it. Once it's attached to a person,
it can shape how they view themselves, how teachers can
treat them, how employers evaluate them, and how society response
to them. So that explosion of psychological labeling has indeed
coincided with the entire rise of anxiety, depression and everything else,
which is led to a whole generation of people in
psychotropical drugs. And we've spoke about that at Nauseum. We
have many podcasts on that, so we're we're gonna not
dive any deeper there continuing on that. Like everything else,
those patterns lead to a dependency on institutions. You look
at one hundred years ago, Americans relied heavily upon the family,
the church, and neighbors. When my mom ran out of eggs,
she's baking making cookies. I don't have any eggs. Hey
run next door to s Miss Debbie for an egg.
Miss Debbie, can I get an egg? Sure? And Miss
Debbie shows up? Can I get a cup of milk?
Like literally, with a little cup measuring cup and pour
some milk. We didn't run to this to the store
every time we needed something. We depended on each other.
I knew the name of everybody on our street. I
know that's a lot different than most people today. Problems
were addressed close to home the community, much like the
Middle East. Even today, the community handles their problems. Of course,
you're going to have the exceptions to the rule. Right,
people looked first to parents, pastors, extended family members, trusted
members of their community. But as these institutions expanded, many
of those traditional support structures weakened. The individual increasingly turned
toward government agencies. And that's what FDR wanted all along. Right,
Modern citizens are conditioned from childhood to treat institutions more
readily than their own judgment. When a crisis emerges, look
to the experts. Even the people who look to the church,
the head of most churches, they're too busy looking to
the experts instead of reading the Bible. When confusion arises,
they look to the authority. The educational system reinforces this
dependency from an early age. Students are taught that experts
possess the answers. Universities reinforce the importance of credentials, Bureaucracies
determine who is qualified to speak, and professional organizations won't
they establish the acceptable opinions. Listen, A free people requires
self government. Self government requires self discipline, and that requires
personal responsibility. And that's why I continue to say that
most people say I want to be free, but most
people don't have it in them to be self governing.
Dependency moves in the opposite direction. The more people rely
upon institutions to think for them, provide them, guide them,
protect them, and solve their problems, well, the less capable
they become of governing themselves. History repeatedly demonstrates that populations
willing to surrender responsibility often surrender liberty shortly thereafter. I
guarantee you if Fox News and CNN and MSNBC all
came on the air and look the camera in the
eye and they said, aliens are descending upon us right now,
everybody go outside and look up, I bet you seventy
five percent of the people would be running outside looking
up and just because they believe anything right. Scripture, well,
that presents a different model. The family serves as the
primary institution established by God. Parents are commanded to teach
their children, Churches are called to disciple believers. Communities are
strengthened through voluntary service, mutual accountability, and shared responsibility. The
Biblical pattern emphasizes stewardship rather than dependents, right responsibility not victimhood,
and wisdom rather than blind trust. So when you have
a society that's grounded in these principles, well, it produces
citizens who can think independently and stand firm when the
institutions fail them. So, you know, again, the removal of
biblical foundations, it didn't happen overnight, but it happened layer
by layer. You know the whole story of Madeline O'Hare.
And again I don't obviously, I don't champion anybody's death.
She was the activist who supported atheism, the separation of
church and state, and feminist. She was a militant feminist
and in nineteen sixty three she founded the American Atheists
and she was the president of it until nineteen eighty six.
And she is the one that is known for Murray
versus Curlette, the lawsuit that challenged the policy of mandatory
prayers and Bible reading in You Guessed at Baltimore Public
Schools and look where it is now. She named her
son William Murray as the plaintiff, and that's one of
the reasons why they took prayer out of school. But
in nineteen ninety five, her Madeleine, her son Garth, and
her granddaughter Robin. They disappeared from Austin, Texas, just off
the face of the earth, and the initial speculation was
that the three of them had I guess they took
off with hundreds of thousands of dollars from the American
atheist people, but they in fact had been murdered by
their own former associates, and their bodies weren't found until
two thousand and one. And I'll put the link in
the show notes. I want to read the story on her.
She even filed a lawsuit against NASA because the apollo
ate genesis reading evil, evil person. But moving along, the
biggest thing that if you're a long time listener, you
know how I feel that the neighborhood schools being taken
away was the most devastating thing that happened, the destruction
of the neighborhood schools, so I remembered it affected me.
It was the nineteen seventies. Forced busing was soldest progress
and social repair, Yet for me and countless communities. I
used to go to school five minutes from my house,
and I ended up getting on a bus driving almost
thirty minutes into Wilmington in the city, far away from
my family and my home and my family and friends.
And that's how they destroyed community. Before that, I walked
to school with the people I knew, parents knew the teachers,
the teachers knew the families. We worshiped with these people.
Schools were a part of the community's moral fabric. Forced
busing broke it. Children were sent across town to unfamiliar schools,
far from their parents and their churches. That was the
whole plan, the evil plan. The school became less local
and more administrative. Parents became less connected. The neighborhood's identity
was weakened. And that's why we are where we are
today because now we have this community trust that's eroded,
and the child became easier to absorb into the machinery
because of the system. That was such a massive shift.
Once education was disconnected from the local community, it became
far easier to standardize, to centralize, and to shape mentally.
A school no longer had to reflect the values of
families nearby. It could reflect the values of boards, courts, bureaucrats.
Once the biblical foundation was gone, the moral vacuum filled quickly.
Humanism replaced holiness, psychology replaced an activism replaced wisdom, so
identity replaced character, on and on and on. That's why
Colossian's too weight. It's so hard. The battle for education
is the battle for the soul of the child. It
can't be underestimated. And I know we're between school years.
And if you were on the fence about pulling your
child out of a public school, and you are afraid
and you need guidance, you send me an email. If
you need to talk to me, I will call you,
but I beg you if you have the means, please
get your child either in a home school a community
school like me here, I'm registered in the state. I
can teach my daughter plus six other children. Start building
community schools, get them out of these cesspools. And again
This isn't, you know, bashing teachers because it's noble to
want to mold the minds of teachers. But I'm here
to tell you I have gotten hundreds upon hundreds of
emails in the last six years since we started this
podcast of teachers saying the same thing. They went in
noble wanting to make a difference, but they're handcuffed because
of the system. Then I also get you know, I
do get emails from teachers who are in private schools
and those type of situations. They love it and they're
able to teach the truth. But this is all social engineering,
and that is the destination toward which all of the
previous pieces have been moving. Revisionist history shapes a person's
understanding of the past, standardized education shapes how they learn,
and behavioral conditioning that really shapes how they respond to authority.
Every society educates its children. The question is to what
end are schools producing independent men and women capable of
self government, personal responsibility, and moral courage, or are they
producing citizens who look to institutions for guidance and permission.
The social engineering operates most effectively when people don't recognize it.
That's the whole fact of the matter, it doesn't arrive
wearing a uniform. It comes through curriculum, through media, entertainment,
academic theories, and public policy. When a child enters kindergarten
with a worldview largely shaped by family, right by adulthood,
that same child has spent tens of thousands of hours
under the influence of school rules, universities, media platforms, and
these government agencies. The real struggle the concerns who is
doing the shaping and toward what purpose. History shows that
ambitious governments, powerful foundations, and political movements and ideological revolutionaries
have always understood the following principle. If you control education,
you influence the future. You control the information, and you
can influence perception right. This explains why so many cultural
battles seem disconnected. I can't tell you how many times
over the last year or two that I simply say
to myself, I cannot believe what I am seeing, And
ninety percent of it is because of the education system
and the finance other things we've talked about in this
Matrix series. The goal of social engineering isn't just to
change laws and pass these nefarious like I spoke about earlier,
right laws can be repealed. The goal is to get
people to change beliefs and get these children to doubt God.
Once beliefs change, laws flow naturally. Once a generation accepts
a new worldview, resistance largely disappears. Citizens repeat the approved narratives,
Neighbors monitor one another. Now right that started, They reinforce
that with COVID. That's why the battle for the mind
is ultimately more significant than any political election. A society
that loses the ability to think critically loses the ability
to govern itself. If they don't find a purpose in God,
they will find it in movements. If they don't submit
to Jesus, they will eventually submit to human authority. The
architects of social engineering understand something many Christians have seadily forgotten.
Ideas shape civilization, and the beliefs that are planted in
classrooms today become the laws, policies, and institutions and cultural
norms of tomorrow. Remember that child sitting at a desk
today is going to be a voter or a teacher,
or a judge, or journalists or a business owner. That's
why the struggle for education it's never been about education alone.
It's about shaping the mind. And as we close this
episode of exposing the matrix, which again we will have
a supporting episode the first or second week of July,
getting into the people involved and deep diving into the
foundations involved and the teachers' union. Oh way, you can
do this in one in one sitting. It's impossible. But
you have to understand, this story is not about a
single school, district, or law or foundation. This has been
a century long transformation of how Americans are taught to
view truth and authority. On and on and on. By
the way, I got that subscription, we're in newspaper dot
com or something like that, and you can go back
to like the eighteen fifties and search all these newspaper
stories and print them, you know, one week for like
a dollar. Right then just cancel. I found the clipping
of bussing in the seventy five or seventy six, whatever
year it was, and outside of my development where I lived,
hundreds of people on the street Limestone Road. Look at
Route seven on a map in Delaware, in Stanton area
where routes seven and four cross each other. That's where
where I grew up, and a plethora, a huge group
of people protesting bussing and it failed. They didn't care.
I'm not saying that people who protested care, but the
powers that be they didn't care. They put us on
a bus and they destroyed our communities. Evil, evil people,
and the results from fifty years ago they surround us.
You know, we live in a nation where millions of
people graduate high school And did you see the was
that UCLA. The guy was walking around with a piece
of paper asking the students to read two sentences and
they were struggling to get through it. College. But these
same people, they have these strong opinions on complex political
and social issues. You know, again, we live in a
nation where these young adults know more about activism than history.
And the greatest tragedy isn't so much the educational failure,
which it is a tragedy, but the greatest tragedy is
this spiritual blindness and how people do not fear God anymore,
even people behind the pulpit. I don't see a fear
of God anymore. Go to your Bible dot com and
look and see what it says about fearing God. Yeah,
you now have a generation who have been taught to
trust experts but not God. Institutions but not scripture right.
Trust credentials, not wisdom. That's why Paul's warning into and
Colossians to wait, keep that on your mind. Right. But again,
when we talk about these things, the answer isn't despair,
it's discernment. It's truth. And Romans twelve to two declares
that and not be conformed to this world, but ye
be transformed by the renewing of your mind. That's the battlefield.
The mind. Scripture doesn't tell believers to surrender their minds.
It commands them to renew their minds. God never feared
questions or investigation or honest inquiry. The truth withstands scrutiny
because the truth comes from Him. The Bahreans provided the
model Acts seventeen eleven. Receive the Word with all readiness
of mind, and search the scripture's daily whether those things
were so, they didn't accept what they were told. They
tested everything against God's word. They were one of the
most noble groups of believers in the New Testament. And
the matrix survives only as long as people refuse to
question it. The men who seek to shape society, they
understand the power of ideas. Christians should understand it even more.
Every revival in history began when people returned to God's word.
Every great deception succeeded when people abandoned it. The battle
for the minds of children didn't begin yesterday and it
won't end tomorrow. The question facing every parent, every pastor, teacher,
believer simple, who will disciple the next generation? Will it
be the institutions of men? Or will it be the
word of God? Because whoever shapes the minds of the future,
and whoever owns the future owns the nation. So there
you go. That's this episode of exposing the matrix. You know,
test everything and hold fast to that is good. Stand
on God's words. You know. The philosophies of men are
always going to rise and fall, but the word of
God shall stand forever, is noted in Isaiah forty eight.
