Answering My Most Asked Question

 

More than any other question is one few would expect to top my readership and friend list of questions. So, with no further buildup, here it is. Will there be a civil war in the United States. The answer in a single word is more than likely not. Much of the violence which appears to have plagued the United States has been in the major metropolitan areas and a few smaller but still main cities. These are areas which, even those in the most conservative states, are largely blue regions, also known as largely liberal and leftist areas where the Democrats basically rule the roost. As far as anti-fa instigated violence, it is mostly committed within cities and often against easily recognized chain stores such as McDonalds, Starbucks, the Gap and other smaller unit stores. They usually do not target major chain stores such as Sears, IKEA, Nordstroms or other stores which have security as the anti-fa people are interested in causing unopposed damage and violence with the exception being their attacking conservatives at Second Amendment, Republican candidate or similar rallies where they expect to be opposed by largely unarmed people. When the main people behind the violence are carefully choosing their targets in order to minimize the chance of real pushback then there is little if any possibility for any confrontation to escalate into that vital flash-point from which general violence would result. But this diagnosis holds solely through the next elections which will be Presidential Elections.

 

With the next Presidential elections, there will probably be additional violence above and beyond these elections. But that will still not escalate beyond the cities in which the problem will continue to exist. The real problem could come, if there is to be any problematic escalation, after the elections should President Trump win reelection carrying the Electoral College but losing the popular vote by a more than what people on the left believe reasonable margin. This has occurred before with Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876 losing the popular vote by about 4% but winning the Electoral College by 19 votes, Benjamin Harrison in 1888 winning the Electoral College by 65 votes while losing the popular vote by 90,596, and George W. Bush in 2000 where he won the Electoral College by a slim five votes after a contentious series of recounts and hanging chads in Florida and Al Gore won the popular vote by 543,895 votes. There are stories that President Trump also lost the popular vote but there are also stories which claim he won the popular vote once all votes had been tabulated so it is safe to say that it was very close. The thing is a President can win the Electoral College by winning a number of smaller states as well as Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Michigan or Wisconsin by narrow margins while the Democrat had a healthy showing while losing Texas and took over two thirds or three quarters of the popular vote in California, New York, Oregon, Washington and across most of New England thus having a very large popular vote victory. This is close to what happened in this past election except the margin in the Democrat victories in the high population states was closer to 55% to 60% and not too overwhelming. But if the above were to occur, it would be possible for the elected President under the Electoral College to lose the popular vote by tens of millions which would cause an uproar, especially in the high population states and in virtually every major city breaking out in rioting and worse. How serious such might become would depend heavily on the actions of the mayors as if they, as happened in the riots in Baltimore after the unfortunate death of a person in police custody, decided to order the police to simply attempt to contain the rioting while allowing the riots to play out, that could cause the President to use federal power to end the riots which would appear to be completely out of control. That might cause an even greater amount of disruption as it might be interpreted as being overt and being used to punish the people who did not support them in the election causing even greater violence. Where such might lead is anybody’s guess.

 

We still doubt that a civil war is likely in the United States unless a President decided to impose martial law and suspend elections, then there would be people fearing an end to the democratic base of government and an end to the Republic. As long as government continues under normal operation, the majority of the American public would continue to have faith that the system was still functioning, and only if the electoral system appeared to be being ignored or completely suspended would there be sufficient cause for universal upheaval. The reason there would not be a civil war in the United States short of a President usurping power by such actions as suspending the Congress or dismissal of the Supreme Court replacing these Constitutionally established institution with the rule of the President, the one person, then the concept of a nation ruled by law and not man would be turned upside down replacing it with a nation ruled by a person and not the law. This is something most of the American people would not stand by and allow to happen. Also, should a President suspend the powers of the people provided by the Bill of Rights, this too would be going a step too far and likely to cause a general upheaval from the population. Were such to be done in a slower series of measures limiting freedoms through slow steps using laws and the legal system to end freedoms, then it might be possible to bring an end to elected governance and have a dictatorial takeover of the United States. Such an erosion of freedoms might begin with laws against ‘hate speech’ which could be utilized to shut down expressions which were against the sitting government and thus allow only those supporting the strict policies of those in power to be expressed. This could be followed by restricting assembly of groups where such speech and positions which opposed those in power from occurring. Then, should those in power have such a control over the powers of government on all levels including almost every state and large city, the people who hold opinions which might unseat those in power could be brought up on charges of holding hateful positions and even begin to have criminal charges brought against opponents for having hateful thoughts. Once it can be established that people can be arrested and charged with thought crimes, then nobody would be safe and those in power would have complete and total power. They could move against the opposing party starting with their representatives in the Congress and on the Supreme Court replacing them with only people having the approved opinions and now you have a hierarchy where a select group of people holding what is defined as correct thought are the sole holders of power. This is something which would have been inconceivable in the United States just ten to twenty years ago. The problem on the horizon is that an ever-growing number of youth coming from many of the major colleges when queried if hate speech should be illegal, agree and say that free speech should only come with limitations and restrictions. This is a frightening reality which if it should continue signals the end of the American Experiment. Such a series of events starting from this and spreading to all corners of political power would cause a civil war with uncertain results.

 

Should sufficient officers be selected, as Generals need be approved by the Senate as they are selected presumably by the President or at least the executive branch, hold the same beliefs that free speech need not be a total right and that only certain approved speech should be free, then there has started a slippery slope to a dictatorial governance. This would not be the kind of dictatorship where one person was chosen and no further elections were held, this would be a form of dictatorship where all government positions, even elected positions, would be restricted to those who were the most correct in their ideas and thoughts. This is the opposite of what the Founding Fathers had envisioned but by simply adopting limitations of freedom of thought could come into existence. By restricting thoughts and expression through speech to a certain set of politically approved ideas and concepts, then one has also subjugated the media and limited even what religious leaders would be permitted to preach. From that point, it would be a short jump before people would be rounded up and sent for additional schooling, otherwise known as reeducation camps. Soon after such has taken place, we can predict what the next step would be, and that would be limitations on religious thought and then practice. The first ones to be selected for eradication would likely be the same as has always been the first religion for subjugation or attempted for eradication, the Jews. They may be selected along with other groups such as Evangelical Christians has been one such group which some claim would be included with the Jews should the United States turn to the dark side. The reasoning on these predictions are predicated on the belief that as the mainstay of Judeo-Christian ethos, these two groups could be considered the largest threat to be the mainstay against far leftist ideology and these theories all believe that such a thought based governance would be extreme leftist styled fascism. As such, those against abortions on demand, euthanasia, open borders, no corporate profits over half a percent, open work hours, fixed incomes, extending public lands, elimination of private vehicles, elimination of fossil fuels and whatever else one could conceive from the far-far-far-left on top of free speech as long as it agrees with the government and a similarly restricted media, after all, don’t we all love Big Brother, and doing away with privacy and full surveillance would also be implemented just to detect even the slightest indication that one was outside of group-think policies, this is where such would eventually lead. This could only be established slowly over about two decades, and that is about all that would be required as the job has been half way to accomplished with the ideas supported by far too many college graduates. The nerds would be tolerated as long as they simply quietly made everything work and minded their manners and were not too obviously nerdy.

 

Many people think that such an end for the United States is so far from being the America of the past two and a half centuries that it would be impossible and might be surprised if they were to become aware of what is taught in the finest of higher education, and that is slipping ever so slowly but inevitable into high school and even further. Eventually, the concept which has already begun in some region where they are not teaching children to read independently but only of approved readings. How, you ask? They are not teaching phonics and sounding out words from their spelling but whole word recognition, which works fine for words such as enough, but for most words that would not be the preferred means of reading new words. But they do not desire your reading new words because words represent ideas and ideas are very dangerous. Thoughts lead to ideas and if a child can read anything, then they can have thoughts which are uncontrolled and then they might have uncontrolled ideas which lead to undesired conclusions which then may cause difficulties, especially if they are able to express them and spread these concepts. Thus, through this new age teaching methods using whole word recognition, children grow up with limited vocabularies and thus have free thought stolen from their lives. They have a new form of math that they teach. They teach children to solve equations the way a computer might be good at but which leaves the child with no ability to ever learn algebra, let alone calculus and higher mathematics. They are taught to guess and then make another guess and if that second guess comes closer to the desired answer, go further until they guess and are further from the answer and then reverse direction. I can think of numerous problems where this method might drive a child insane. This also only works well for equations with one variable, as soon as you add a second variable the number of answers could easily become infinite as it is for the very difficult equation where y=x3-4×2+6 which has a strange graph and uncountable correct answers (see graph below). For any value of y from -3 to +6 there are multiple answers for x which makes guessing rather difficult. That was not even a difficult equation as there are trigonometric equations where there would be multiple solutions or no solution depending on the values for x and y such as circles and ovals. But this is not as earthshakingly important as what they do not require and in too many schools do not teach at all. That is our next stop on this tour de force.

History is not required for a high school diploma. Not just world history, but they do not teach American history and even recent history such as the study of the two World Wars or the American Civil War. They no longer require a civics course or a course that includes and explains the make up of the American government. They do not study the Constitution, the Bill of Rights or the Declaration of Independence, so do not even bother to ask about the Magna Carta. When they did finally have a single six-week course in American history and government, these were all placed together, they never studied the Founding Fathers or any of the so-called old white men outside of the great emancipator who was included with Fredrick Douglass as they were mostly studying the Native Americans and Americans of color. In English, they read largely the writings of people of color and none of Shakespeare, Dumas, Dickens, Mark Twain, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Louisa M. Alcott, Mary Shelly, Dostoevsky or any of the classics because those had been taught already and it was necessary that the youth be introduced to writers of color. Perhaps the school district where my kids were educated was more progressive than most, or maybe they were just fortunate to have enlightened teachers, all I know is the teachers would dismiss my questions as ignorant and lacking depth and I just did not understand their new methods. This was nowhere more true than the mathematics teachers who basically told me that the methods I had been taught were the reason mathematics was so difficult and children hated it so much because the old ways just were not fun and they were not going to turn children off from math. One even said that if they got the wrong answer but could explain their reasoning, then they would get full credit. That included the reason of I guessed and it seemed close enough, as I actually asked that I was so frustrated by the eighth grade with the mathematics teachers. They are no longer educating the children and because of their unions, a teacher is next to impossible to fire once they have taught and received tenure. I can only try to imagine how future education will be and can only hold out hope that there will be machines teaching which realize that educated humans are easier for them to deal with and as such, they will actually educate children. Perhaps this education or lack thereof has been designed such that when everything falls apart, nobody will know any better and it will all appear to be normal and orderly no matter how discombobulated governance becomes.

 

Beyond the Cusp

 

Argument for Free Speech, Old Style

 

The college scene is not what many of us remember it being. We knew a place where all sides met on the stage of debate. Professors would take the opposite side of every student and force them to defend their positions. This built confidence and forced everyone to understand their own side and the opposition side just as well. Why know the other side, that would be the question from students today. Their response to any opposition is to shut down all discourse and disallow their opponents from speaking at all. There are some serious deficiencies with that approach, namely what do you do when you no longer have complete control over the debate and the new rules are defend your position or shut up. That is called the corporate world or the business world. Even a salesperson needs to shop their competition such that they know why their product is superior or how best to show their product or ideas to perspective clientele. In the real world you cannot just show up to a convention with baseball bats and cans of paint and try and intimidate your competitors as doing so will soon put your company out of business and you in prison. The real world, that’s the place you end up after college, demands more from you than running to a safe-space and grabbing a coloring book or cuddling with kittens or puppies. They demand that you actually produce and then they grade you, it’s called your annual review, on your performance against the other employees. I realize for many of you coming from a liberal arts education, or should we say indoctrination, will find the real world filled with triggers, microaggressions, full-on aggressions, challenges and not one single safe zone outside your parent’s basement, will be quite a system shock. Your current college education costing your parents $50,000/year or more is leaving you dreadfully unprepared for the horrors awaiting you out there in the real world.

 

If we have gotten your attention and you now are wondering what you can or should do, we do have some advice. The first thing you should do if you are remotely capable of handling something in the hard sciences, change majors and probably schools and take a hard science where opinions are not important, only facts in these parts, real provable facts. Engineering is demanding and dependent upon mathematics, seemingly the courses which most Liberal Arts majors have the greatest fears and trepidations over. Differential Equations will be your nemesis that stands in the way for a fair share of engineering majors. Let us assure you that it is not that horrific, just remember and learn to use the quadratic equation. It works much the same and they keep that a secret until about three weeks before the final just to make you learn how to do proofs. Just get through the course as once in the real world much of the equations and solutions are performed by calculators, very nice calculators. Other courses include Mathematics, Physics, Cosmology, Chemistry and Biology, which all are straightforward sciences. Computer Sciences and numerous Computer fields also exist but we would recommend avoiding simple repair as that field is slowly disappearing and will require ever increasing competition over fewer and fewer positions. But first, you are going to have to look inside and make some decisions.

 

College is supposed to be an adventure through which you find out who you are and what you are made of. This requires meeting challenges head on and often failing at them. Failing at a challenge does not mean you fail a course, it means you need to do some more work and prepare better for the next time. If your professors were honest and sure of themselves, they would challenge you honestly and debate and they would usually win, as they are slightly older and hopefully more knowledgeable. The same professor would defeat you when you took one side and then in the same class defeat the next student who took the opposite side. A good professor can argue both sides equally well and defeat every student except that rare student who surprises his teachers. Such students were prized, not scorned back when we went to college and was often given more challenging assignments. You want to become that student because challenge is presumably why you are in college. College is where you can try different ideas and find the ones which will define you for most of your life and it is up to you to find these core beliefs, not for some leftist professor to assign you core beliefs. When you have a good and solid education as your base, then you do not need be afraid of people who oppose what you believe because you know your side and the weaknesses of their position and this makes you the one holding the power. That is real power, not a mob of masked zealots wearing black and threatening people while preventing those they oppose from speaking. Somebody who honestly believes an opposing view would debate the speaker during question and answer and prove their beliefs to be a better solution. These people using violence and claiming that all ideas they do not support are hate speech and must be banned are insecure and afraid of honest debate and will not have any power outside the university. What job would they be hired for anyways? What skills have they shown? What prowess? What proficiency? What competence? What ingenuity, resourcefulness or useable mastery have they shown?

 

Are you getting the idea here yet? University or College is not just a place to drink beer or whatever and smoke whatever you wish and other recreational activities; you are also supposed to prepare yourself for the remainder of your life. Many of you who have demanded trigger warnings about courses which might challenge your beliefs or even slightly make you feel uneasy or who demand safe spaces where nobody can say things which might offend you are not going to be prepared for anything except a world controlled by robotic creatures who are programmed to keep a certain number of humans alive as their pets; you will be fully capable of being a robot’s pet. But let us for a minute take your beliefs and inspect their viability in the real world. Let us also inspect a world made to honor and respect your sensitivities and also another person your age with the same degree as you and identical grade point average and all the same recommendations. The two of you are perfect bookend, and like bookends, your composure and beliefs are exactly opposite. So we have the two of you identical in all ways but holding opposite views and sensitivities. Now you are both working in the same company and the company has extremely progressive tendencies except they are unfeeling so they do not fully understand that safe spaces are supposed to be exclusively for protecting left wing ideology holders and are supposed to be closed to people like your opposite who have right leaning ideas, remember you are bookends, you on the left, then all the books and then your opposite on the right. Now somebody starts defending President Trump and his policy to hold immigrants from six Middle East and North African (MENA) nations and you get all flustered and feel threatened by this person so you run to the designated safe room where you grab a coloring book. Now right after you leave another employee berates this person as a racist and spouts collective ideas and your opposite now feels challenged and afraid and also runs to the safe room and starts holding a puppy. In your world, what happens when the two of you start to discuss the situation and the argument out in the office? You are both in a safe room so your opposing beliefs cannot be offensive or is your opposing viewed bookend not permitted feelings? That is the problem with the real world, even if they had safe spaces they would be sued to make them equal opportunity safe spaces.

 

But we hear Google and many other Silicon Valley giants have found a solution to this kind of problem, namely selective employment where only those people who hold correct thinking views, which agree with the left, are safe in their employment. We are waiting for the next step where some employees gather together, go to management, and inform on the conservative in their department. Will this poor unfortunate be dragged into an office and badgered to determine whether they are truly one of those? What after that, maybe told to take an Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and if they score too right of center with their indicators they are fired. Then the witch-hunts will start and those companies will start to tear themselves apart and that will be their downfall. There was an entire nation which fell because of this exact deficiency in their community.

 

Destruction of the Second Temple

 

The Israelite nations had fought and gained their freedom from the Greeks and were once again united and were one people. Even though the Assyrians and then Romans conquered their lands, they remained united. They fought the Romans and gained their freedoms only to be reconquered when Rome sent many Legions such that the Roman Legions about equaled the number of Judeans (Jews). Imagine a conquest where there are almost as many soldiers as people. The Romans appointed a King over the Judeans who the Romans lazily and with scorn simply referred to as Jews (pronounced Juze). The people turned one against their neighbor. Gossip became the main form of communication. This made the people very argumentative and restless. Some groups blamed the Romans for their troubles while many simply blamed their neighbor, their employer, anybody but their own actions. This made the province more difficult to manage and eventually the Romans decided to remove the central institutions and erase the Jews from the earth like they had so many other tribes of people. They burned the Second Temple and stole all of the holy objects with one glaring exception, the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark simply seemed to disappear completely from the face of the earth. The Romans searched but were unable to find even a trace of where it might have been taken, hidden, or even carted out of the nation, absolutely no trace, and this was immediately after the Temple was destroyed and it presumably was within the Temple just before the destruction. The exception was most evident on the Arch of Titus, the Roman General who paraded through Rome with the artifacts he stole including the great seven armed candelabra (see image below). This was supposed to be the end of the Jews as many were taken to Rome as slaves. Another seventy years later and thousands more Jews were sent to the far corners of the Roman Empire and the Jews were given the same treatment as the Carthaginians and numerous other Roman enemy tribes who were rebellious against Rome.

 

Titus Arch

 

The name of the Carthaginians remains solely because of the Punic Wars and Hannibal and his elephants taken over the Alps. Why are there no Carthaginians to be found today, or more amazing, why are there still the Jews? We can answer that question with a single word, Torah. Judaism does depend on a land to flourish and the land depends on the Jews to produce, it is a marriage arranged by Hashem. But the land of Israel belongs to Hashem and the Jews are tasked with caring for the land belonging to Hashem. Our covenant is written in a single document that describes what is expected of us and how we are to live, Torah. We can carry our binding law and all we need with us and as long as there are Jews anywhere near, we will become a community. While we follow Torah, we will thrive; to not follow Torah will lead to our downfall. By the way, idle talk such as gossip is one of the things we are taught to avoid, both speaking and hearing and especially being the conveyance of such. Gossip cost us our Temple, our homeland, our communities but Torah saved us from extinction. Torah will bring our lands and communities back and Israel will thrive as long as we follow and do as we are expected by Hashem, it is all in Torah. That too is a challenge and takes understanding and often the accepting differences of opinion. As some claim, give me two Jews and they will produce at least three opinions. If you read the Talmud, you might be pressed to believe that to be true.

What Price Multiculturalism?

 

The prefacing theory which underlies all of multiculturalism is that all cultures are equally valid. Well, if by this you mean that all cultures hold the same position in their societal definition and that they form the structure and define the acceptable limits for a society, then that is a true statement. This is the definition you will receive if you are ever bold enough to try and claim that all cultures are not equal. If you have the audacity to contend that modern western culture, which includes the separation of church and state, the priority of scientific proof and a dependence on democratic governance for the governance of the people, and this is just scratching the surface but some of the mainstays, is superior to almost all other cultures currently practiced on our planet Earth, you will find yourself on the receiving end of the leftist multiculturalism truth police. You will hear the above definition which then will be slowly but inexorably twisted until it claims that western culture is an insult to the planet which it will completely destroy if left unchecked and that humankind must return to a more subsistence culture where we all live within the limits of what we ourselves can produce. The people making these claims use computers, use motor vehicles whether public transport or their own Mercedes, buy their food at a store even if it is the farmer’s market or health food store where everything is chemical free using only natural fertilizers and pesticides plus the foods are all organically grown without use of Hybrid or GMO seeds, use electric lighting while avoiding incandescent bulbs, use electric appliances, watch televisions, listen to radios, have cell phones but claim that aboriginal cultures are equal to or superior to western culture and then challenge you to show them how western culture is superior other than its use of technology. It reminds me of the scene in the movie. “The Life of Brian” where John Cleese is claiming that the Roman culture brought nothing to the society of Judea asking, “What have the Romans ever done for us?” (The scene is below.) Western culture was honestly well behind Islamic culture which was scientifically behind the culture in India and China gaining from the former much mathematic knowledge including the concept of the number zero, the decimal point, the Indian numbering system and some of the highest mathematical theories and concepts of the era resulting from their conquests in the Indian Empire’s northwestern provinces. It is further true that western society gained from the records of Greek and Roman math and physics knowledge which the scribes of Islam had preserved which became their base for the technological advances made after the Protestant Reformation and the Renaissance which led to gains in the sciences which vaulted Western culture into preeminence which it has held to this day. But what has Western culture given to the world?

 

 

Multiculturalism is a pry-bar used to try to enforce radical environmental culture which will break society into a bi-level societal structure where the elites live lavish lifestyles and enjoy all the fruits of technology and scientific discoveries and be permitted to use unlimited amounts of power while the underclass masses live in mire and filth with questionable water quality, a meat free diet as meat will be beyond their ability to afford and life will revert to a culture similar in many ways to the Medieval social caste system. The main disgust which many of the elitists have which drives their multiculturalism is their disdain for the middleclass and their ability for upward mobility and the fact that the middleclass have education and equality to the ruling elite which threatens their superiority and if they can force the West to compromise their culture replacing this with some more primitive culture where there is no middleclass and only defined two classes, the leader class and the masses which have but one purpose in life, to serve the leader class. Some of the cultures they idolize and try to immortalize through their miseducation are some of the most barbaric in all of human history. Further, if all cultures are equal and have identical value systems, then there can be no reason to restrict immigration of any group no matter their culture. This could be taken to an extreme that should a group of headhunters claim a desire to immigrate that there should be no reason to forbid them continuing to live by their native culture of headhunting and that those of us who do not live behind electrified fences with twenty-four-seven guards both at the front gate and in vehicles and foot patrol on the perimeter will be vulnerable to these new immigrants pursuit of their monthly sacrifices. Perhaps they will institute Mayan culture when they get their society and people like me will be amongst the first sacrificed because of my challenge to their superiority. Maybe we will return to worship of Baal and child sacrifice will resume as a replacement for abortions. Child sacrifice to Baal was also used to keep the underlings in their place by threatening to sacrifice their children and it also served as a means for ridding the society of children born with deformities or handicaps as these were considered as punishments which should be returned to the gods to prove that the people only permitted the normal and best of society to serve the gods.

The leaders of the multiculturalism equality of cultures are the same leftists who once claimed that we should emulate Germany and Italy as their new form of government was so much so efficient and capable of making progress than the messy form which was democracy whether it was a republic, a parliamentary system or a constitutional republic where the nation is under the rule of law and not the rule of any man. The leadership of Germany and Italy back in the middle 1930’s was Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Yes, their leadership which was absolute did manage to accomplish things much faster through their central control and the lack of personal freedom and liberty. In the end, it was the democracies which prevailed in the conflict which inevitably followed, World War II. Following World War II, the elitists who were so wrong only a decade earlier had not learned and found a new better way to run the world. This time it was communism which was vastly superior and was capable of getting things accomplished with its central planning. One might wonder what it was about central planning with which these elitists are so enamored. Well, it is simple. Central planning leads to an elite central group which dictate how everybody else will live, what they can own, what they will produce, and run everything allowing the masses the leftovers after their lavish lifestyles have been satisfied. Well, much to their chagrin, communism also failed to out-produce and out-perform the free world and Western culture.

 

After the fall of communism, there was no other culture which initially challenged Western culture and the United States and her allies were the only game in town. This made for difficulty for the elitists because modern Western culture is what produced a middleclass and the challenge to their unchallenged importance. A middleclass includes an educated class which is capable of having equal education and knowledge to those elitists and for them this is unacceptable. This allows for people who can argue and raise doubts to the absolute knowledge and correctness of the elites. Correctness, that is another word the multiculturalists like to use as another means of quieting the masses. Political Correctness is a large concept of multiculturalism use as another lever to silence all who oppose them and challenge their supremacy. All of these leftist elitists demagoguery, their manipulative approach that plays on emotions to refute rational thought, is used to expound their illogical claims which go against all logic. They demand that the people follow because these actions will make them a better person and they will feel better about their actions simply by following without challenging the truths that they are fed. These elitist leftists have conquered the entirety of the educational systems in order to end education which allows people to have equal knowledge to the elites and instead make the people completely dependent upon the elites all knowledge and truths. In order to keep the people from experimenting with knowledge the elites prefer to keep for themselves and to deny to the masses becomes defined as Politically Incorrect speech thus unspeakable. The elites also have changed the means of teaching going from phonics to teach reading to whole world recognition. Why would this matter? Whole word recognition limits a person to the words which they have been permitted knowledge by the educators. If you do not teach the word freedom or liberty, then these concepts eventually disappear. This was well explained as “newspeak” by George Orwell in his epic novel “1984” where words were limited and the language was restricted to that which the government permitted and history was altered when the government required something different. The government could literally write a person from history and the Ministry of Information would go through every record and remove all references of the person including altering pictures which today would simply mean Photoshop them out of history.

 

The takeover of the education system by the leftist elites and their minions has had other destructive effects. They no longer teach traditional history. The Founding Fathers are no longer included in American history in the same manner as they were back in my day. Now they are flawed ignoramuses who owned slaves and thus everything they ever did was tainted by this fact and that fact nullified everything they did. This makes the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution flawed and suspect. They teach new math where for algebra the way to solve quadratic equations the student is told to make a guess. If it is wrong, then try a larger number and a smaller number and see which is closer. Continue using ever-smaller differences in guessing until you find an answer which will be close enough to suffice. Where this works well for a computer which can do millions of calculations per second, a human being is not in any way a computer and does not perform millions of calculations per second and thus this is a ridiculous means for solving algebra problems. They now teach inventive spelling where one is permitted to spell words in any manner they will recognize and understand. This is wonderful provided you do not desire people to be capable of writing to one another and have their messages understood. Perhaps in this day of texting and Twitter and one-hundred-forty characters per tweet then original spelling will work just fine as long as we all can agree to use the same texting abbreviations.

 

So we will soon have a population with no knowledge of history, no knowledge of political science or systems, no knowledge of governances, no knowledge on how to spell, limited word knowledge through recognition only and mathematical ability limited only to basic calculator functions. Another way of putting this is we will have a population in the western world with limited educations and almost no knowledge with which to function and govern or to judge almost anything we are told by the elites. They will have achieved constructing a people who are dependent upon them for their knowledge and for them to do all the thinking. Looking at the colleges today where they have safe spaces, trigger warnings, microaggressions and other such leftist insanities which are producing snowflakes who will be unable to take criticism, unable to handle reality if it does not match their preconceived notions which they had molded by their educators, and unable to do anything without having it be a team effort where the effort requires anywhere from five to twenty people to accomplish what used to be a task for one diligent and hard working person just ten to fifteen years ago. If the hope of the elitist leftists with their ploy of multiculturalism and the education farce was to end Western culture and take the world back to the Middle Ages and the old monarchal system with the elites and the peasants, they appear to have all but succeeded. The main challenge is those home-schooled children who are becoming more common as people see what the education system had become. Still, the elites appear to be on the verge of winning and this is part of why they are so upset that President Trump defeated Hillary Clinton. Their fear is that President Trump just might undo all they have accomplished, especially with Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos who just might disassemble public education and make all education private enterprise providing parents to choose where their child will be educated and what they will be taught and by whom. Such a system would improve education immeasurably immediately which the Leftist elites simply are beside themselves trying to prevent this catastrophe to all they have done. This is such a sad state of affairs, all that work and President Trump might topple everything with complete disregard for their feelings, and it should all be about their feelings, you know.
