Here is a post from a Utah anti-Common Core group:
Hey ya’ll! My friend was told by the Principal that she could opt her son out of Sage but it would effect his grade and they would find something harder for him to do. They opted another son of hers last year and they did give them harder stuff. So my questions are, what are her options? Should she report this principal? Where is the law that states no penalties? Where can she get her own form to opt out?
He made her feel really guilty saying “it’s your choice, it’s your choice. But it’s good practice for the act”
_____________
And here are some replies to said post:
This principal is a “BULLY” he needs to be gone!
________________
yes and no. It could just be a misunderstanding 😬. I doubt it. But I don’t want anyone to lose their jobs. Just corrected.

yes I understand but experiences go far past this and I’ve been to the District and nothing changes.

You should be able to find the opt out form online at the Utah state education website. Sage is not required. Have her sign the paper and turn it in. Then if he continues to be annoying just have her check her child out whenever there is a test.
______________
Illegal! Illegal! Illegal! Tell her to contact the assessment director or the superintendant.
___________
If you message me and tell me the school district, I can help you find your first point of contact.

These decisions belong 100% to the parents, not the principal at a government school. Tell your friend to go in and ask this principal if they can sit down and review this test together so she can see if it’s appropriate for her student. He will tell her that no one, including himself is allowed to see the questions. So how does he know if it’s a good practice for the ACT?… They should not be administering tests that they cannot see the questions to. If they want to administer an alternative test, have her ask to review that one as well. Opting out of SAGE testing cannot affect their grade.

She’s kinda nervous to report him bc it’s a small community and her son is in sports. Can it be anonymous?

Doing what she feels is best for her child is always the right decision. If she’s already talked to them then they’ll most likely know it’s her. If I was her I would go in and sit down and explain that as the parent she will not be allowing her student to take this test, and she would appreciate it if they would kindly respect her parental rights and wishes for her child. I would respect a parent more if they came in and were kind but very straight forward about what they wanted for their child.

I have had the same experiences. Will you please PM me the principals name?

This should be of great concern to ALL Texas Parents.
“Project Unicorn partners presented at SXSWedu March 2018. Dell Foundation presented that data interoperability meant a 360-degree view of student data, information on past test scores, attendance, behavior, etc. right there on the spot and the USDoE’s Digital Promise, who is interested in leveraging the mind, brain connection in education, moderated a panel on bringing brain scanners to measure students’ learning. Read more about this and Bill Gates’ investing in a brain research company that develops next-generation Mind Tracking Solutions, which can be integrated into existing eye tracking devices and software here. ]
“So Mike Morath, Texas Education Agency (TEA) commissioner, failed at his Home Rule attempt in Dallas (See Panning a Charter Takeover of all public schools). So via legislative mandate in SB 1882, Texas has now empowered TEA to use gangster moves to force schools into private management.”
Here is a post from a Utah anti-Common Core group:
can Nebo District do this?
Email from teacher below. I will post her first email from during school yesterday in the comments. This is what she sent today.
“After I emailed you last, I attended an ethics training for SAGE and received new policy information from the district and state. This year, schools are required to provide an alternate learning experience during SAGE. That means that opt-out students will have a different assignment that will still be required–so if you were to check out Trent on those days, he will still need to make that assignment up. Just for your information, this is found in Utah Code 531-15-1403: “Teachers may not reward or punish a student for being excluded from testing. Schools are required to provide an alternative learning experience for the student while the rest of the class takes the assessment.” This particular alternate assignment is the same for each 7th-grade English class at our school. This assignment will neither be a punishment or a reward–just a different option for those opting out.
As far as grading for SAGE goes, we have been directed to give participation grades–this has nothing to do with how well they score on SAGE or whether or not they opted out, but it is based on their effort in participating. Students who opt out of the SAGE will earn these points by taking the opt-out assignment, which will also be graded based on effort–not mastery. If you’d still like to check Trent out of school, he can make up the assignment at home.
If you have any other concerns or questions about the new policy, my administrators would be happy to explain this further.”

Watch out for these freaky educational mind-benders …
.
They’ll infuse ‘em with norms and ethical standards … which they’ll approve … and auto-correct their emotions so they lose any traces of childhood … and become perfectly calibrated, social creeps.
And that’s how they’ll retool your kid’s personality … and rehabilitate their identity … pretty much without bothering you at all. But that should bother you to no end.
I went to my great-grandaughters school to have lunch with her (that’s nice that the school allows that) as I stood in the hall watching the class arrive I thought “my Lord it’s the Hitler army” perfectly straight line of perfectly spaced littles, no touching!!, no talking (pretend you don’t see Grammy standing over there) God forbid that she show any delight in seeing Grammy. A far cry from my school days when “best Friends ( you are not allowed to say the “best” part anymore) actually held hands in the hallway on the way to lunch. It’s no wonder when I greet a teenager on the street they look at me like I have 3 heads! It’s so pathetic – indeed no joy.
This is my 10 year old daughter’s vocabulary words this week. Thought you would appreciate this 😔

my son hasn’t seen spelling words since 3rd grade & they weren’t little words. Yet he cant spell small daily words. I’m doing spelling, cursive & the states with my kids over the summer. my daughter is 15 & my son is now 12. They don’t know much of any of that.
_________
I’ve seen the same. The village mayor’s son taught 1st grade. He literally told the kids to look straight ahead, eyes on the back of the head in front of you. haven’t you heard the little songs they sing while being on line. indeed looks like prison.

I’m really considering pulling my last 2 (of 4) out of school and home schooling. I am seeing my bright vibrant children being literally dummed down and commonsence being squashed. Heartbreaking to say the least.

My seventh grade granddaughters are going on a field trip, job fair! Can you believe that!? But they make kids believe that is a good thing!

Here is a post from a New York anti-Common Core group:
Assemblyman Ra and Assemblyman Murray Disappointed the Assembly Majority has Blocked Transparency in Schools
Assemblyman Ed Ra is disappointed to announce that his bill, the “Standardized Testing Transparency Act” (A2312) was held in the Assembly Committee on Education. The legislation would have allowed the Commissioner of Education to release all questions and content on state tests as well as data on the number of students who completed, opted out or were eligible to be tested within 30 days following the test.
“We need to provide our families with this information so they can feel confident when making their personal decision on whether or not to have their children take the new Common Core tests,” said Ra. “Students and parents deserve this transparency, as it will help them determine what is right for their families, as each family has a unique situation. By blocking this legislation, Assembly Democrats are once again refusing to allow families the opportunity to decide what is right for their children. Our teachers are also being let down, as they are caught in the middle of all this. It is already known that there are issues with the content of the tests and its administration, this secrecy is not helping anyone. Though the Assembly Democrats continue to refuse to help students and their families, I will continue to fight for this transparency. We need to be open and honest about what is going on behind the scenes so each family can decide what is right for them.”
“It was disappointing that Assembly Democrats once again let down our teachers, parents and students by blocking the Standardized Testing Transparency Act, legislation that would have given families peace of mind in helping to determine if it was appropriate for their children to take these standardized tests. We have already seen a myriad of problems with the contents of the test’s questions and with how they are administered. I will continue to fight for the highest level of transparency and accountability in regards to the curriculum being taught and the tests that are administered, to help our parents make the best educational choices for their children,” said Assemblyman Dean Murray (R,C,I-East Patchogue), the Ranking Republican Member of the Education Committee.
A good friend of mine spent $40K per year to send her child to a good private school to avoid Common Core and the school to work infiltration. She wanted a truly educated child not human capital for the planned economy. The result for her sacrifice…..her daughter could not score well on the SAT. Even though this child had a 4.0 gpa and had all AP classes. The problem, she knew real math but did not know Common Core math. So her mother had to put out $80 per hour all summer so her child could now learn the CC way to do math and score better on the SAT. I tried to convince her to by-pass the SAT and go directly to the college entrance exam but she was stuck in the same paradigm as many other parents. They think the SAT is the only way to get into college. There is sadly only one solution to this problem. We need to stand up and STARVE THE BEAST. We need to take down this system. Make implode upon itself. But it will take parents willing to stop sending the children into the belly of the beast. If we could get 30% of parents to pull their kids we just might be able to bring it all down. If not we will have 30% of future population with a real education.
I found this post from a California group, though the post was from 2016:
Do you want your student’s data collected and housed in a longitudinal data system outside of the CDE? Well, it’s happening.
The CORE districts are experimenting with your kids. After conducting a two year pilot on ways to measure social emotional learning (SEL), the lead psychologist (Angela Duckworth) backed out of CORE’s project. She felt the implementation of SEL measures was ahead of the science, but that hasn’t slowed CORE down.
CORE Districts are now collecting extensive data on your kids that reaches well beyond academics.
More importantly, this data is being collected and housed outside of CDE’s data system, CALPADS.
Per CORE’s federal wavier, these districts agreed to build a robust longitudinal data system, which is housed at Stanford’s John Gardner Center for Youth. The system was designed to share data across key sectors related to education, such as heath and human services, welfare and criminal justice departments, after school and community programs etc.
The goal is to generate a comprehensive digital profile of every student in order to track his/her performance and progress from cradle to career. The endgame is a sustainable (planned) economy. Although the shift to SEL is couched in the well being of students, it is actually driven by corporate interests, folks who see your kid as human capital.
Thanks to FERPA and CORE your child’s data can and will be shared widely with any number of third parties that have a “legitimate educational interest.”
This year CORE has added several more schools and charters into the fold. From the first federal waiver, CORE intended to scale its approach across the state.
The extensive data collection is a threat to your child’s privacy and safety. More importantly, it won’t improve the quality of his/her education.
So, if you don’t want your child’s personal information collected and shared, you have to speak up. Opt out of adaptive learning software. Demand textbooks and teacher generated assessments, old school paper and pencil tests.
Teachers on strike in Arizona, marching in Colorado. I went to some of the Red for Ed Facebook pages, all are supported by “BATS”. That should tell you everything you need to know about Red for Ed. BATS is run by Mark Naison who is a close friend of Bill Ayers. BATS is not Against Common Core! They are all about empowering the Teachers UNION.

Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Hill told Harris that she left the AEA after her first year of teaching. She is not alone.
Because AEA has failed miserably to represent teachers in the state for years, fewer and fewer teachers belong to the organization. This is not strictly an Arizona phenomena. In fact, across the country, as teachers’ associations took on political fights that had nothing to do with teaching and everything to do with progressive issues like climate change, membership has fallen off. #Redfored
Here is a post from a North Dakota anti-Common Core group:
Excerpt –Google measuring “soft skills” in k-12 NH schools:
“According to this recent article in the Manchester Union Leader, SNHU received a $1 million dollar grant from Google to develop an assessment to measure “soft skills.”
Soft skills include behaviors, attitudes, and the mental health of the person being assessed. In NH, these soft skills are being assessed k-12 too. In some cases this is being done without parental knowledge or consent. This is part of the Competency Based Education model that includes measuring attitudes, dispositions, and behaviors.”
Here is a post from a Georgia anti-Common Core group:
NWEA MAP TESTS. Parents, did you know that all students who take the NWEA MAP growth test, have a separate ENGAGEMENT profile? (It has nothing to do with whether they answered the questions correctly or incorrectly.)
What follows is a brief account of a nearly 7 month NWEA Q & A communication and related FOIA. Many questions remain unanswered. I invite NWEA, teachers, students, other parents to give input — as this is something that potentially affects millions of US students. If you are short on time, here is the very short ‘Top 10’ version:
1. NWEA rebranded in 2017, won award for new Social Emotional Assessment tool for MAP Growth, announced new “engagement” profiling for every student, and hired new CEO, Chris Minnich, of CCSSO, the Common Core copyright co-owner.
2. Detecting Social Emotional skills is a $43 Billion global market for edtech.
3. NWEA maintains one of the largest repositories of student growth data in the nation. Why hasn’t NWEA signed the SIIA privacy pledge to not sell student data?
4. Where is NWEA data being shared; how is it being used and analyzed? Collaborators, Researchers, Hitachi.
5. Do parents know their child has an engagement profile with NWEA ? Can parents opt out of this profile? (No).
6. In a study with Harvard’s Center for Education Policy Research Proving Ground Network , and a Gates funded CORE school district, NWEA has used personal data from the NWEA engagement profile and COMBINED this pii data with personal, student-level (pii) data from students’ self-reported behavior surveys. NWEA’s study concludes that test disengagement (rapid response) is “connected to risk of dropping out of school …and a lot of deep-rooted problems”.
7. Who will be able to see if a student has been flagged as disengaged (or at risk for these “problem areas”) by NWEA? (ie: Will this disengagement profile or flag ever be shared with colleges, employers?) Did parents give informed consent for this NWEA study that combines and potentially re-purposes sensitive student data? In asking NWEA and FOIA of the school district, (here), I could find no evidence of explicit permission or informed parent consent. Will NWEA obtain informed consent in the future and allow parents to opt out of SEL or Engagement data?
8. Accuracy?
9.NWEA Reading Fluency now uses Voice Recognition technology. How is THAT data being analyzed, used?
10. NWEA and researchers, edtech, Congress can learn from the Facebook scandal. Children’s data should not be taken without consent, should not be repurposed, researched, and analyzed without transparency and consent. You need to do better. We deserve #GDPRfor ALL.

Here is a post that was shared by a friend of mine:
The Interagency Day Care Standards of 1971 federal law.
Excerpt: “Any agency, public or private, which receives federal funds directly or indirectly through a grant or contract… or by way of a voucher plan” must meet all program requirements (ed) that are set down for public schools. Acceptance of Federal funds is an agreement to abide by the requirements.”
Then, in 1981 the American Legislative Education Council, formed by Paul Weyrich (“We are radicals who want to change the existing power structure. We are not conservatives…”), mailed to 16,000 state and federal officials and legislators a suggested educational voucher.
Thomas A. Shannon, Executive Director of the National School Boards Association, said, “Tuition Tax credits for private schools profoundly change the character of private education. Private schools that operate with public money will be subject to public regulations.”
Sure enough, concurrently, on July 18, 1971, key federal legislation underlying and controlling any subsequent education legislation was adopted.
This master control system, “The Interagency Day Care Standards,” hinged upon the federal government’s own definition of day care: “Day care is defined as the care of a child on a regular basis by someone other than the child’s parents for any part of the 24-hour day.”
It states that “Any agency, public or private, which receives federal funds directly or indirectly through a grant or contract… or by way of a voucher plan” must meet all program requirements (ed) that are set down for public schools. Acceptance of Federal funds is an agreement to abide by the requirements.”
School Choice Corporate Reformers are not pushing quality education, they are just pushing… “Choice” and “Competition”.
Who could be against “Choice” and “Competition” in America?
As my friend Michael Bohr correctly states…
“Parents, who are the first and forever educators of their children, are the only people who hold the right to determine “the best interests of their child.
Everyone one else has an agenda that puts their best interests over those of the child and they have done so by taking control of our government.
Their hope is that we continue to fight the false battles they lay down before us and forget that we, the parents, are the sole authority in determining the education and upbringing of our children.”
“SCHOOL CHOICE” IS THE MOTHER OF ALL PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS, THAT WILL BE THE DEMISE OF EDUCATION IN AMERICA!
Does Brent Lawson know what has been written into the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which is the re-authorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), originally passed in 1965, opening the door for Title 1 federal dollars to go to economically disadvantaged students?
Anita Hoge clearly laid it out…..
“Specialized Student Support Services” and “Direct Student Services” mandate equitable services to all private schools, the same as in public schools. This is referred to in the ESEA legislation as “meaningful choice.”
There are specific lists of providers that must be used, as well as, an ombudsman that will oversee compliance in private schools. This is where the mandate will force teachers to identify students as being At-Risk of not meeting College and Career Ready/Common Core as a disability and perform psychological services paid for by IDEA. These interventions are defined as positive behavior intervention and supports, PBIS, multi-tiered system of supports, MTSS, response to intervention, RTI, and early intervening services, EIS, etc.
These interventions are happening NOW because of the Flex Waivers.
By identifying students as At-Risk under Title I, ALL will receive psychological treatment and interventions on your children in private, Catholic, and Christian schools, as well as homeschools (defined as a private school.)
THERE WILL BE NO ESCAPE FROM THE COLLEGE AND CAREER READY/COMMON CORE OR THE PSYCHOBABBLE IN THE LEGISLATION.
Regular classroom teachers are being trained to identify children who would need services through PBIS, RTI, EIS, & MTSS.
Once EDUCATION SAVING ACCOUNTS (ESA)’s are in full operation, dedicated to each individual student, an individual career pathway meeting College and Career Ready/Common Core soft skills (Grit) interventions and a treatment plan which will be funded by direct student services known as psychobabble.
Because these specialized services are defined in the legislation as psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, etc, these services will be mandated. These members of the psych profession will be in a position for MEDICAID TO BE BILLED FOR SPECIALIZED STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES. This is your meaningful CHOICE.
Medicaid is on the scene as mental health wrap around services. Your family and child will be assigned a case manager. This initiates an individual family service plan. The federal government has just walked into your front living room door.
Bell has written extensively about parents not being capable to raise their own children.)

I just received this email from an angry parent who lives in another state. I’m trying to figure out if this is a ACT requirement or a local one. Has anyone’s child had a similar experience?
“Hi All,
My son took the P-ACT this morning. He came home angry because the first hour was spent collecting data on the students, question after question regarding their preferences on various topics. Because he is my son, he entered “indifferent” to all that would allow him to do so.
Furthermore, at the beginning of the questionnaire, he had to sign a waiver to allow third parties to use the data collected on the data sheet. Though he did not want to agree, he didn’t feel he had any choice but to sign off on the waiver.
87% of Teachers vote to DISASSOCIATE from the NEA teachers union. One of the Nations two largest teachers unions (the other is AFT)
“Las Vegas teachers, fed up with how their dues are being spent, voted overwhelmingly late Wednesday to cut all ties with their state and national parent unions.
The vote by the members of the Clark County Education Association, which represents almost 20,000 teachers in the Las Vegas area, is a significant loss to the National Education Association, the nation’s largest labor union.
It devastates the NEA’s Nevada affiliate, the Nevada State Education Association, as the Clark County local makes up half the membership of the entire state.
The national NEA now has a $2 million hole in its budget for this year, and it will also need to send money to the state affiliate, which won’t be able to sustain itself and will likely see staff layoffs.
The problem resides with top-down accountability itself. Accountability—which started here in Texas with GW Bush and his faux “Texas Miracle” turning around “failing schools”—is a set of neoliberal management tools deployed to undermine local democratic control of public education, destroy public unions, disempower parents and educators, and ultimately privatize public education. We should work to oppose all forms of hierarchical, top-down accountability. Schools instead should be accountable to students, parents, and the local community.
Here is a post from a Washington anti-Common Core group:
My 6th grader came home worrying about SBA testing and having to write an argumentative essay. She said something about failing 6th grade if she doesn’t do well. I told her that was garbage, they couldn’t fail her for this test but now I want to make sure. Anyone know off the top of their head?
The best thing about being a Dyslexia mom with a reputation for advocacy? Other moms are always still telling me about their kids successes and struggles. The recent instructional tour with its pictures has sure brought out a few discussions.
Flipped Algebra in 8th grade. Did you know it is almost completely digital? Students are assigned videos, they take Cornell notes at home and return to school to work in class. I actually had a kid whose teacher started this more than 5 years ago. But, what this mom was telling me, actually it is 2 moms. The videos aren’t always the same presenter or the same quality. Kids come to class and use the new NSpire calculators purchased by the district. No longer does the student need to understand factoring, they just need to understand how to translate the problem into equations on the Nspire “scratch Pad” and allow the calculator to solve. The work is multiple choice. If the answer isn’t one of the 4, assume you typed it in wrong. The “I am a mean mother,” of the 2 moms who brought up Algebra, says she has been teaching her student how to actually solve problems all year; factoring, the quadratic equation, systems of equations…she makes her child demonstrate he can solve Algebra problems based on knowledge. This is very different than when her older students took Algebra. And she is concerned because it is always a battle. Her student just wants to plug in answer choices and see which ones work. The teacher does not grade, the answers without work are simply reported into a google doc. Her concern is that the kids aren’t really learning Algebra and will not be prepared for HS science or math courses. Her older students have not graduated from high school.
Parents with students in Algebra, using the Nspire calculator, it is the end of the year, if your student had a paper and pencil test, could they solve Algebra problems?

Here is a post from an anti-Common Core group:
Superintendent McGrath states that they want to reduce over testing. But the students in 8th grade have always taken state math tests and one day of a math final, same as this year. The difference is they have ADDED a day of the math final to punish kids whose parents have opted them out state tests. Unfortunately, those kids are already sitting through the flawed state test which wasted their instructional time and your taxpayer dollars.
Here are some posts from the anti-competency based education group:
Workforce = competencies. Education is now a talent pipeline and about earning a set of competencies / skills needed by business and workforce. ACT follows this w their Career Competencies model:
“Industry competency models are descriptions developed by the US Department of Labor (USDOL) to establish the skills, knowledge, and abilities required in growing industry sectors. The models help individuals obtain the training needed for various career paths in a specific industry, and they identify skills that are transferable across an industry. They are important because they promote an understanding of the skill sets and competencies that are crucial to building a globally competitive American workforce.
How does the ACT National Career Readiness Certi cate (ACT NCRC®) align with the models?
Each USDOL industry competency model is built on a series of tiers. At the base, Tiers 1–3 represent the essential foundational skills. The ACT NCRC, based on ACT WorkKeys assessments, certifies these skills and enables an individual to rise to the next tier—to advance toward success in a chosen occupation.” https://www.act.org/…/doc…/WK-Brief-CompetencyModels.pdf

Why they are killing the GED: “Skills-based hiring has provided the city of Albuquerque a higher quality applicant pool and significant return on investment in our hiring practices. It has also allowed us to replace the GED requirements with skills scores which then opened up a significant population of applicants we would not have seen before.
Albuquerque was the one city I did research on for the WorkKeys, career pigeonholed assessment. The City was using it on their perspective employees as well as current ones. Passed it off as happier employees. The sales pitch WorkKeys video expressly states no national work certificate, no job.

Ugh. It is so insulting as a older worker to have to take a skills assessment to get a job. Your resume and work experience mean almost nothing to today’s HR. And no test currently used accurately measures soft skills. Companies are missing out on great candidates because the 20 somethings in HR only know how to read a score not a person.
In response to an article, on an Illinois anti-Big Government group, about the costs of higher education, one person said:
It wasnt the cost that drove my son out of an Illinois college. It was the constant barrage of politics. The damned teachers spent so much time bashing Trump and the Republicans you’d swear they were running for office. Complaints to the school, state and the feds went nowhere. The students are quite tired of not learning what they signed up for. I’ve spoke to dozens of students who are leaving Illinois colleges and you would be shocked to learn how many actually say they are not learning anything because of the agendas.

My daughter and I went to a University of Chicago Admissions event. They disgusted me during the event with their Liberal agenda. The deciding factor putting them OUT of the running was when they started talking about Obama having “been a teacher” there. No mention that faculty rejected him and that he was a token patronage appointment on a non-tenure track position. She is very happy at Purdue.
Here is a post from a Utah anti-Common Core group:
Looking for clarification. I’m in Nebo district. I’ve got an 8th grader who keeps getting put in in-school suspension because he is opted out and isn’t doing the alternate assignment. Is he required to do it? From what I’m reading on the group, the school is required to offer one, but he’s not required to do it, right?
____________
And here are the replies to this post:
No, he’s not required to take it. I wish this were more clear on the books, though.
_______________
That’s how I understand it. Personally, I would be okay with alternate assignments as long as it isn’t SAGE related & as long as it doesn’t effect their grade.
This is what the rule says: “(9) An LEA shall ensure that a student who has been exempted from participating in a state required assessment under this section is provided with an alternative learning experience if the student is in attendance during test administration.” https://rules.utah.gov/publicat/code/r277/r277-404.htm#T7
And the Testing Ethics Policy gives some examples, but they are only examples & not requirements:
“Students are provided an educational activity if they are opted-out of a state assessment
Some examples are:
*LEA, school, or teacher created assessment on course standards
*A short essay (grade appropriate expectations) related to a Utah Core standard which could be student selected or assigned” https://schools.utah.gov/…/bd4cdc0e-1892-4b64-bac4…

And here is another post from said group:
Anyone know if a law got passed—if a school District approved full-day optional kindergarten they would receive more funding? I know it was talked about a few years ago. But I can’t find anything recent. Also, I need opinions about KEEP. I’m trying to determine if I should opt out. Thanks in advance!
_________________
And here are some replies to this post:
I have administered the KEEP assessment, I think it’s a well designed test. I think the data could be used to show that full-day kindergarten has benefits with the assumption that the full-time kindergarten children will score better that 1/2 day children
_____________
I’m not sure about the law & funding, that might take a little while to find. The search function hasn’t been working for me since they updated the website. I am very concerned with the KEEP assessment though. The questions are fine, but I don’t like the social-emotional questions. A huge thanks to [name withheld] that those questions aren’t reported to the state (originally they would’ve been, but she stood firm during the State Board meeting to protect our children’s privacy). I will be opting out of it, even though it’s not listed on the state opt out form. We are over testing our children in our obsession with data & I don’t want to encourage it, especially when it’s coming from the state level & not the local level.
_________________
My school district has recently adopted an all-day optional Kindergarten. My main concern is not academics, it’s the reason behind the move. I tend to look at things in a macro-scale. Why after all these years are they doing this? Is it for the good of the child or is the real reason, their pocketbooks. I have done a little research and two years ago it was proposed in the Utah Senate that schools who offer full day Kindergarten vs half day could get more money for funding. Even if it’s offered as optional. It has always been optional at certain schools in our county, Huntington, for example, but why make it District wide? The more I research the more I find its less about the children and more about their own bank accounts. I think the reason I’m really upset about it, is because I see my influence upon my children moving more and more toward the government. Us commoners don’t know what’s best for our children. They take God out of everything at school, while we teach it at home. It’s no wonder our society is turning less and less to God. I don’t like that most of his friends are going to do it. It puts a lot of pressure on me to be full day, even though it’s optional. He’s going to wonder why his friends get to stay. I’m going to have to pray about it a lot. My sister’s kids do a full day in Texas, and they come home tired and wanting to sleep. We need to protect our little children, not burn them out. So what if they can read at 5? I want to know if he can be kind and learn to play nicely with others. The more practice he has at that, the more I can see his leadership skills, creativity, etc. He’s taken 2 years of preschool and has done UpStart this past year, already beginning to read. But he’s just a child and people will soon forget that, if their not careful. Thanks for the insight. I have a lot to think about.

My Thoughts on college degrees..
Most college degrees are completely and utterly worthless.
From my recent job hunting experience, I saw tons of jobs that “required” a bachelor’s degree yet only paid just a tad over minimum wage.
Why would anyone in good conscious saddle their children with $60,000+ (usually more) of debt that they had no chance of ever paying off in their entire lifetime when their fancy degree doesn’t even help them get better than a minimum wage job?
They wouldn’t even be able to afford basic necessities such as rent, utilities, food, etc and this doesn’t even remotely include the costs if they decided or happened to have children of their own.
Trade classes in middle/high school are all but extinct and it seems that there is no push at all for any trades. People need people who know how to build and fix things.
There are virtually no classes or parental involvement to teach kids how to cook, take care and clean up after themselves, how to be a decent human being and not treat others like complete crap either. This list could go on for quite a while.

Substitute Teacher Observes Blatant Indoctrination In A Public School Classroom
For her exposure of partisan politics in the classroom and support of the #purpleforparents group, Jennifer Hill came under attack on social media.
On Friday, Hill, a 20 year veteran teacher, who has been a certified substitute teacher for the Chandler Unified School District since 2012, was notified that she had been fired.
“I have been speaking out against the #redfored “movement, have been posting my opposition in a respectful manner and have been on the radio speaking about the facts on the progress and budget. In the week before the teacher walk-out/strike, the district began canceling substitute jobs I had accepted and planned to work,” said Hill. “During the strike of course, there was no work. I had substitute jobs scheduled for after the strike and next week. The District cancelled all of them. On Friday morning I began to get harassing messages from teachers in the District saying they got me fired. They said they hoped that I would never sub anywhere else, ever again, and were laughing at me.”
Perhaps if Gates really cares about the learning disadvantage he should stop pushing the vaccines that are causing so many children to be on the autism spectrum. Or perhaps her should study the effects of the rise in fatherless homes on a child’s ability to learn. Gates has long been involved in research to change brain function and other sicko projects. He was involved years ago in an education initiative with Bill Ayers that fell flat on its face and cost Gate billions. His involvement in Common Core is failure #2, Common Core 2.0 will also fail and this new venture again it is marked to fail already. The man is a leper and does not have the best interest of education or our children in his hear. How come his boys went to a private school that does not use Common Core and only limited technology. He is a guy with a big fat check book that thinks he is God. He is a rich guy that wants to be even richer and make all of his buddies richer. We have people buying education that have no clue. This includes our President, our First Lady and the US Secretary of Education. Parents………listen up…..there is only one way to fix this situation because believe it or not it is functioning as it was intended to function 100 years ago…..they just didn’t have the technology back them. So you cannot fix what is not broken. We need to circumvent their plan to train workers for the planned economy. We have to pull our kids out and work together in the community to educate our children outside the federal institutions. Just research John Dewey and Horace Mann. They say it outright. Public school is not to educate but the train workers. They perpetuated illiteracy because illiterate people are easy to control and make into obedient workers. How many of you have churches that sit empty all week? We need to fill those empty church rooms with community school run by community workers using Freedom Project Academy we do not need trained or license teachers…..FPA is teacher led. let me know if you are interested in finding out more. But we need to fight a battle we are not going to win and think outside the box to circumvent these vulchers that see our children as nothing more than human capital.

Here is a post from a Mississippi anti-Big Government group:
The State Testing that we have in place in Mississippi is a waste of time and taxpayers dollars and needs to be done away with beginning next year. There are teachers all over the state who are into double digit days of testing / retesting and it’s ridiculous. I spoke to one teacher who stated she was on her 18th day, that’s 18 days of instruction that isn’t taking place because of testing. I’d like to discuss options with as many teachers as possible to get opinions, but I think we need 3 different tests for students to graduate.
1. The ACT for college bound students as well as any other student wishing to take it.
2. A Career entry exam for graduates planning on entering the workforce upon graduation.
3. A Special Education test for students with disabilities.
Our Focus in Mississippi has to be shifted to doing what’s best for our kids instead of doing what’s best for testing companies.
How do we do this?
Expand Job Training Vocational courses in High School.
Auto repair, welding, electrical, HVAC, CDL, Large Equipment Operation, Carpentry, Website building, Masonry, etc.
Our Motto should be “Let Teachers Teach!” not “Let Teachers Test!”

And here are some replies to this post:
that is a scare tactic and not true.
_________________
My daughter has also been told this, that the SBA is on equal footing with the SAT/ACT in that colleges look at that score as well. This won’t help with the law part of it, but there were a few colleges at our local homeschool convention, and very, very few homeschoolers subject their kids to the state standardized tests. The only thing the SBA did for my daughter was to allow her to walk at graduation with her class and be handed a diploma, whatever that is worth.
_______________
What about students who get sick, miss the tests, miss the make-up days, etc.
He/She is using scare tactics.
_______________
No law for something that isn’t illegal. (In other words, the existing laws you will find do not support what she is saying)
I don’t know where you are, but what I would do is dial a local community college admissions office on my phone and ask put it on speaker.
When they pick up, ask “I was told by [WOMAN’S NAME] that it is your policy not to admit students who have not taken [TEST].”
Let this imbecile listen when they answer.
Personally, I would go a step further and write letters to local colleges explaining that your school officials are telling kids they should not apply to their college if they haven’t tested. I would say this represents potential economic harm to the college, and if this is not the case, the college admissions office should call [WOMAN] and tell her the actual policy.f

My daughters school (CA) told me that if I opted out, she would have to take a hard test that will go on semester grade instead. Very effective blackmail. 😞

Opted out my kids from state testing. Two days ago I get a phone call that they need bodies in front of the computer to get their 95% participation. Why don’t they just leave me alone? I had a few choice words for them, but bit my tongue 😣
_____________
And here are some replies to this post:
So funding isn’t dependent upon 95% PASSING the test, just TAKING the test?
____________
Im in California. Only 37% passed the math last year. I don’ t think they are going for quality LOL
________________
Which completely negates the purpose, and proves it’s political.
______________
That is, essentially, correct. Varies state to state a bit, but to get their “grade” a school has to have 95% participate. Less than that costs them on their grade. They also get to designate a certain percentage of their students “untestable” so it doesn’t skew their score (or arguably, accurately represent it).
_______________
That’s correct. It’s an ESSA requirement. Below 95% makes the test results invalid statistically speaking.
________________
It sounds as if you have 95% participate, but only 30% pass, you’re fine with your funding?
____________
It is all about participation. We wouldn’t even get the results of the test. It is all for funding purposes
____________________
I cant see how having your kids just sit in front of the computer could help them achieve their participation count. Typically, from what I’ve heard, is that they at least need the children to log into the test for it to count. I was told they could just log in but wouldnt have to take it. I said “Um….no way!.” They can eat the loss but my children would NOT be logging in to anything. They could either arrange for them to be somewhere else or I would come and get them just during testing hours and bring them back when it was done. I did that for 3 days with my 4th grader. Took him out of school each of the days for about an hour and a half and brought him back. (Pulled them from public school after that year and are in year 3 of homeschooling now so things may be different now…idk).
______________
That’s what I’ve learned. The federal law states they could lose funding, going below 95%, but that has never happened. The law is not being enforced. (Even if it was, I really wouldn’t care. That’s really my point, I am not happy with schools doing this so if they hurt a little, maybe they’ll rethink this crappy system. I wish more families opted out so they’d get our message loud and clear!)
________________
I don’t bite my tongue. My kids school flips out when my kids are absent 1 day…gotta get all the head count for the $ they are not helping our kids out with 😠
Don’t bite your tounge they can’t keep running all over us. Stand your ground put your foot down (hugs to you) Good luck
_____________
I live in CA, and my high school daughter was bullied into being at school for 4 hours while the rest took the test. I have been backed in a corner by teachers about the blasted test. One told me that my daughter’s results would help her look good on the test and another one told me that they needed that data to help the teachers. The teachers even wanted my children to do the practice test! I give the teachers one chance to find something for my children to do during the test, if not I find things for my children, so the stupid school can get their money for the child for the day.
_______________
The thing is my kids don’t give a rat’s patootie about the test. It is my stand on the political agenda of it. If we are to fight this crap, I have to stand my ground, and not bend over backwards for them. Giving in would be giving up on this fight
_________________
They told me that my special needs high schoolers (who are easily manipulated by authority) HAD to be there but it was their CHOICE to open the test. I can only hope that whatever they DID take helps to skew the school’s stats since they are being “graduated” with a first grade reading level.
______________
We had our Principal and Vice Principal call multiple times to both mine and my husband’s cell phones. We have high testing special needs kids. They are the gold mine in the school funding world for testing. I didn’t find that out until I became the school’s Special Needs Parent Representative.
_____________
Can you opt out in Michigan the school has told me numerous of time’s I can’t opt put it’s Michigan Law?
______________
I’m in Michigan. My girls do not take the test. Technically, it’s not “opting out.” If you use those words, they may tell you that you can’t. There is no law that says your kids must take the test. Hence, no reason to “need to opt out.” Make them SHOW YOU THE LAW, requiring they take the test. There is none. If they refuse to honor your request (& u think they are going to try & make them test) I’d keep them home. I was told they had no place for them to hang out during testing (3rd&4th grade) which is ridiculous. But I gladly kept them home. Then in 5th grade I pushed back, due to their age. They “found” a place for them. Same this year for 6th grade.
______________
Is this opt out option only for certain states? Washington state requires us to give pur kids an end of the yr test. We keep the results. I test my kids on their subjects all yr, I never understood why I need to do the end of the yr test.
________________
My kids test the week of May 14 and the week of May 21. They took their last math unit test last week. They won’t have another test but are reviewing each unit now with review homework for prepping for the SBA. There is NO MORE LEARNING FOR THE NEXT EIGHT WEEKS!!! What the heck are we paying teachers and admin for if they are done teaching math and English for two whole months. 140 days out of 180 are scheduled learning and 40 days are wasted. I’m ready to pull them since they aren’t taking SBA. This just seems like a complete waste and a cram session for the next two weeks. So sad.

A 12 year old autistic student was ARRESTED for shooting an IMAGINARY gun at school:
I hope parents see what is happening here. This is the same agenda that forces parents to shoot poison into their children’s bodies in order for them to attend public school or daycare. Of course I blame parents for complying but that is just me. But this article again demonstrates how they are forcing compliance to follow an education agenda that is nothing more than training for obedient workers. You either follow the agenda or you don’t go to college, you don’t play college sports and even worse you are not employable. This is straight up Communism. Parents are still sitting back and playing right into their hands. The agenda is called DELIVEROLOGY. Deliverology is a plan for implementing change created by Sir Michael Barber of the UK. He also works for Pearson (surprise, surprise) He also is the founder of the Education Delivery Institute (EDI). Deliverology teaches change agents how to implement change that in a way that it is irreversible. This is exactly what we are seeing. I cannot speak for any other state (you might want to do some research) but I can speak for Tennessee. In 2010 the state of TN entered into a contract with EDI to implement Common Core. I bet if you dig deep you will find not only TN hired EDI but other states did too.
We have been deceived into a global agenda that if parents do not bring it down NOW will forever hold our children captive as obedient workers filling the human capital needs of the planned global economy, not their own wants, needs and dreams. PARENTS it is time to stand up and wage war. It is time for neighbors, friends, relatives, communities to come together get our kids out of these hell holes and educate them outside the system. You can NEVER say you weren’t warned.
This is Vivienne Ming’s project Socos Labs. She spoke at the New Schools Venture Fund Conference this week. “Naturalistic Data
Data from the real world is noisy and confusing, full of holes yet still flooding in at dizzying speed. Microphones in classrooms, real-time wearable data, pictures of kids’ artwork, information flowing through corporate social networks, and so many more forms of naturalistic data seem overwhelming, but they reveal insights into human behavior that structured surveys, high-stakes exams, and annual 360’s can never achieve. For example, we’ve shown how a bot monitoring free-form discussions among students could outperform final exams in assessing their conceptual understanding of course material, and do it starting on week one.”

The Countee Cullen/Public School 194 elementary aide, referred to in court papers as Mr. Kaseem, allegedly dragged the boy off a school stage on Dec. 7, 2017, according to his mother’s Manhattan Supreme Court suit.
Countee Cullen administrators didn’t tell the boy’s mom, Bernadette Torres, about the alleged incident, the suit says. Torres found out when her son, identified as ‘JL’ in court papers, came home ‘with a ripped shirt and deep scratch marks across his chest,’ she told the Daily News.” — New York Daily News’ Laura Dimon and Victoria Bekiempis.

No it’s not legal.
it is written in Utah code that there is to be no reward for taking the test. Utah code is the law.
________________
My school has a sage reward, but even those who opt out get to participate. Make sure you verify that. Sometimes they just use it as a way to explain why they are having a party
_______________
My 7th grader’s school advertised rewards for Sage that did originally exclude some students. I complained about it violating the law and it was changed to include all students. I didn’t have a problem with them getting to watch a movie once testing was done, so long as it wasn’t in any way related to how they did on the Sage testing and whether they completed it.
_____________
I may make a call to the state. A teacher at this school also instructed my son’s class to be sure not to opt out because it’ll affect her paycheck. My son said she basically said that if you opt out you’re an idiot and don’t care about her job.
Here is a post from a Massachusetts anti-Common Core group:
I have just had a serious awakening. My granddaughter just told us “they” lost points in school today because one kid didn’t sign their name on their homework in their class. Excuse me? What does that mean? I’ll tell you what it means folks. It means our kids are being taught to think and act like little automatons. To do what is “good for the group” and encouraged to NOT be individuals. “They,” (as in the class), get rewarded with a party if all goes well and everyone does as they are told. Demerits for the group if not, such as today, because one child forgot to write their name on their homework. Does this not blare out warning bells??
___________________
And here are some replies to said post:
Wow! Not ok. My son has lost credit for forgetting his name on classwork/ homework but only as an individual as it should be. I would complain with your teacher and principal directly.

They also have what they eloquently call the “golden plate” and “golden whistle” in this school. Children are judged on which is the best behaved class (ie who is the quietest) in the halls, outside on the playground and in the lunch room. We unfortunately can not afford private schooling for the kids. Homeschooling is a hopeful alternative
_____________
A child forgetting his name on a paper isn’t the concern of everyone else. It’s demoralizing and embarrassing to the student.
_________________
I totally agree. That’s one of the things my granddaughter and I were discussing. She was saying that she was the “fault” one day because she forgot her name and the date at the top of one of the numerous sheets of homework one night, and was disdainful of the child who’d forgotten recently. We had to have a heart to heart on that one. It seems like such a little thing but it’s indicative of what’s going on in our public school systems. I also understand that those in authority don’t want chaos in the lunch room but a “golden” prize to the ones who (do not speak and) stay quiet?????
_________________
I became suspicious of ‘group work’ about 7 years ago when I noticed the desks in my kids classrooms placed in clusters of 3 or 4. Teachers said collaboration was good because the advanced learners would push the slower learners along. I had several issues with that reasoning- 1. I didn’t send my child to school to ‘teach’ the other children. 2. One time my child was told by the teacher she could not advance to the next problem until all in the group were ready to move to the next problem. 3. My child was not necessarily grouped with ‘slower’ learners, but sometimes the ‘class clown’ who had no interest in moving in a forward direction. And 4. when members of the group agreed to do different ”parts of a single assignment, sometimes not all kept up their part of the bargain, so I made my kids do the entire assignment to be sure they didn’t lose points.
______________
I am frighten for the future of these children. Truly.
______________
Me too. So many young parents I know seriously believe I’m a nut and none of ‘this’ affects ‘their’ child. I saw and I KNOW what my children lost after 2012. Never to be made up.
______________
keep up the good fight. I know my son’s school principal and teacher are sick of me because I have had many meetings about the way my son has been treated. The teacher uses parties as rewards also comparing what each child does and deducting points. Also, being quiet at lunch, (when this supposed to be when talking is allowed) but yet they have a game to keep them quiet. It’s manipulative.
They do the party thing as a “reward”’for good little robot behavior here too. Horrendous.

EXPLOSIVE AGENDA REVEALED.
And today’s school shootings tie in the “Rethink” and Promise Programs” it’s Gun Control. Don’t believe me?
“But even before victims were laid to rest after their fatal shootings, former U.S Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Chicago’s Mayor Rahm Emanuel exchanged messages on how to frame the tragedy, politically.
During a roughly 10 minute period, the native Chicagoans exchanged seven messages two days following the massacre, in which Mayor Emanuel, who had previously served as President Barrack Obama’s chief of staff, advised Secretary Duncan on what position he should take on the Sandy Hook shootings.
At 6:57PM EST on December 16, 2012, Duncan wrote to Emanuel in a message titled “CT shootings.”
Duncan asked the Chicago mayor, “What are your thoughts?”
Five minutes later, Emanuel responded, “Go for a vote this week before it fades. Tap peoples emotion. Make it simple assault weapons.”
Duncan responded immediately, “Yup- thanks.”
“When I did brady bill and assault weapons for clinton we always made it simple. Criminals or war weapons,” Emanuel said in the email to Duncan.
“Gun show loophole?” Duncan responded. “Database? Cop-killer bullets? Too complicated?” he said.
“Cop killer maybe,” Emanuel responded. “The other no.”
The exchange ended when Duncan concluded with, “Got it.”
Two days after the Sandy Hook massacre, the former education secretary and the sitting mayor of Chicago were already discussing a national strategy…”
Here is a post from an Ohio anti-Common Core group:
HORRIFYING !!!! I assisted a 7th grader get wi-fi access to her school iPad for her “English Language Arts” homework. She needed to read 13 articles from the school district “NewZella” site and answer questions. Well folks….. the first article was about the shooting in Texas. Absolutely nothing about one’s right to self defend, nothing about the 2nd Amendment. Nope! Only about how the Florida Parkland students had solidarity with the Texas students is creating “reasonable gun laws”. Another article was about how Prom King and Queen could be transgender. PURE DESPOTIC PROPAGANDA!! If that’s not enough, then she “answered questions”. WOW! These were not questions which required critical thinking or English language skills. Nope! There were plainly data collection on what position this child held toward their social agenda. Folks, the schools today are not only NOT EDUCATING kids, they are patently collecting data on kids so as to peg hole them in life by an overreaching, fascist government. They are plainly EVIL!!!!!! This child has been in private schools previous to this year and based on what I see, I would venture to say that this 7th grader has a far better education already than does her “college educated” teacher. PLEASE PARENTS!!!! Get you kids out of these “schools”. They are a real danger to your child.
BTW: This school is in the conservative state of South Carolina in a country town with a population of 540. How bad is it likely in the big city schools in Northern and Western States. GET YOUR KIDS OUT NOW !!!!!

Thank you, Chris Berg, for reporting and admitting to blushing as you read the questions. Now, how about exposing the Youth Risk Behavior Survey with its “blushing” questions? According to one ND parent, who after picking up her child from school one day, said her daughter asked what “Oxxx SEX” meant. The mom said she almost crashed the car. Why did the child ask such a question? The YRBS (Youth Risk Behavior Survey) had just been administered at her child’s ND school. Chris Berg, will more reporting from you on all of this be coming shortly? Many parents and children will thank you for this and certainly there will be a special blessing from heaven for you, also.
UPDATED ALERT…..ND PARENTS LET’S SPEAK UP AND PUT AN END TO ALL OF THIS—EVEN THE YRBS WITH SEX QUESTIONS (links below) GIVEN TO OUR ND STUDENTS!!!
Inappropriate freshman physical science class assignment given in Parshall, ND. May 14. INSANE. Please note this dovetails right with….
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) given to our ND students is from the CDC. How many parents are aware that the survey contains many vulgar sex questions. Links provided below for Middle and High School Survey questions. From the survey results, many funds/grants have been given to some schools deemed at risk due to the results. The validity of the results has and will always be in question due to the fact some kids just answer whatever way let alone that surveys with such questions of attitudes, behaviors, values, beliefs where no parent notification was given makes them “illegal”.

Reading Plus was just approved after a one year trial in our district. I tried to get the board to vote against it and thought I had done it but then they went ahead anyway because our asst super of curriculum told the board that teachers and students that used it this year just love it!
before I found this source I tried to do a lesson on my own on the website. IT WAS HORRIFIC. Then I found this. Read the comments below. I really wonder if this is not a great idea to get our districts to stop buying this garbage.
My district dropped 266K on this garbage and another 218 on school city assessments. That is almost a half million bucks on garbage.
Any other info on reading plus. I will continue to bring the issues to our board regarding this. This will be in all of our middle schools and high schools next year. What a waste of money.
I remember getting a survey from someone on this asking us what we LIKED about Reading Plus, and what our kids liked, but nothing about what we didn’t like. I’ll bet they used that information as the green-light to go ahead.

It gave me a headache and blurry vision and i could only answer the comprehension questions based on prior knowledge. I go before the board to co test every single CBE purchase and for the last 4 years this same deputy super says the same bs. I’m sick and tired of school boards refusing to research any of this garbage.boards rubber stamp these purchases sight unseen with zero data to justify buying more CBE. Is there any way that we can educate our local school boards? We need more investigative journalism done by parents abs students.

This is FANTASTIC!!
Maybe after Zee State has #identified the “potentially violent” students [probably children of those pesky bitter gun clinging constitutional conservatives], they can make them wear a proud *Lone Star of Texas* on their clothing too, so others are fully aware.
With all the nuts in the mental health field and in schools Heck no to Mental Health programs ….this is just bring in part of the health care bill that was killed. Leave the kids alone if we had people acting responsibly in this country and hearing each other we wouldnt have these issues.

Folks this has been in the works for a long time. Anita Hoge has been warning it was coming for years now.
In 1994, Anita Hoge was asked to testify as an Expert Witness, at the Department of Interior National Infrastructure Health and Education Data Security hearing. On December 8, 1994 she presented a paper entitled “Exposing The Medicalization of Schools.” This paper and presentation explained how Medicaid would become the financial vehicle mandating and remediating mental health outcomes. It documented how schools would be required to obtain a partial hospitalization license to bill for Medicaid through Mental Health Wrap-Around Services at school through the identification and re-definition of disabilities of ALL children as “AT RISK” through Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. This substantiated the following statement by Ira Magaziner of the Hillary Care hearings in Washington, D.C., in which he said: “Medicaid would merge into the main healthcare system.”
_____________
Education, Mental Health, and 2nd Amendment Gun Rights
Hillary’s agenda has always been control – control the kids and control guns… through mental health. If Hillary would get her way, mental health at school under the soothing banner of social, emotional, and behavioral standards, will fully implement her original plan from 1993, which will eliminate the 2nd Amendment by coding children with mental health disabilities.
ObamaCare, the successor to the HillaryCare plan, has funded school-based health/mental health services called Promise Neighborhood Schools, as a precursor to the next step in this agenda. ESSA has legislated Promise Neighborhoods and Community Schools which have now merged with ObamaCare. Here Common Core psychological standards have been legislated to identify and label kids as disabled for normal behavior using Title I and IDEA Special Education. CHILD FIND uses scavenging psychological techniques to identify and put as many normal children as possible into the brain-dipping meat grinder. (See my previous articles for extensive documentation on these key points.) These psychological techniques identify children who are leaders and followers. Leaders are the target for interventions. Go along to get along are the global citizens of tomorrow.
_____________
These intervention strategies will change our American children into the worker drones for the global economy birth to age 21. No child will escape, especially independent thinkers, children of patriotic parents, or any child who refuses to bend under the grip of these “change makers.”
The Common Core social, emotional, and behavioral aspects of our children, their personalities, are the target. CHILD FIND promises to find every normal American child and mold them to the international globalist agenda, Common Core and Common Core psych interventions.
Bill Clinton had a favorite slogan that was popular when he was President,
“It’s the Economy, Stupid.”
But, Hillary’s slogan is just as potent and much more dangerous,
“It’s mental health, stupid!”
Think the state is not taking over local control of traditional public schools? Think Again!
The decision by Tx Commissioner of Education Mike Morath highlights risky nature of PSJA Superintendent Daniel King’s scheme that promises to protect teacher rights while proposing a charter-like takeover of the entire district.
“The commissioner of education has published regulations that he is now simply ignoring,” said Texas AFT President Louis Malfaro. “His agenda of promoting charter school takeovers of public schools is more important to him than the rights of school employees spelled out in the law. In his rush to rubber stamp charter takeovers, he flouts his own regulations and violates the spirit of the law that speaks to the preservation of basic teacher rights.”
“All the assurances Superintendent King has been selling his teachers are being denied by TEA in the San Antonio case,” Malfaro said. “What the Commissioner is telling school districts (and by extension school district employees) is that even if districts want to preserve the rights of teachers and students in these contracts with partners, they can’t do it. These entities taking over the neighborhood schools have to have total autonomy in almost all areas, according to Commissioner Morath.”
I am the mother of an identified gifted learner. Proficiency Based Learning has turned our world upside down. My daughter is in the 7th grade. She’s going through everything – physically, emotionally, socially and psychologically – that every 7th grader goes through. And then they decided to experiment and throw this on top of it all. She cries every day. At school and at home. This is not right.

Homeschool if you cannot afford a private school

Homeschooling is not, in my opinion, a very good option
______________
homeschooling may be the only option for a family in order to obtain an education for their child. We must protect educational liberty which allows the parent-guardian to make educational decisions for their children, unlike school choice where the government makes the decisions.
But to dictate that every student must learn on a device and that is what is going on here. They can use any glamorous terminology they want it is wrong and still a one size fits all.
_______________
I’m not worried about individual teachers. I believe that, as teachers, we must refuse to comply with abusive policies.
because , when there are no more professional teachers ,
there will be no more “real” education” except for the very wealthy. ( and I speak as a refuser)
___________
I call it abuse of the worst kind.And teachers, although most do not like it, have been too slow to refuse to participate.( And I speak as a life long teacher and worried grandmother)
_____________
Every time a teacher implements anything in their classroom that packages learning, they are assembling the same box that will ship them out of a classroom.

And to carry on with your perfect image, that same box will morph into a coffin for the “good little teachers” who tried to appease.!

And NONE of this is what’s best for children. I promise you, it’s the CC standards themselves. They drive this machine of profit, data collection and mining. They drive the tech use and the related social dysfunctions. The Standards are the uranium in this bomb.

Thank you for all of your very thoughtful responses. I’m hoping other parents – and maybe some teachers – will share their war stories. I knew this was going to be a disaster for my daughter from the outset. She is creatively gifted (although I hate to use the “g” word since so many people have an allergy to it). Past classroom awards she has received include “Most Animated Learner” and “Most Creative – For always being an original thinker.” How (and why) could anyone rein in all of that unbridled creative energy and try to shove it into little boxes? You’d have to break her first. The biggest tell in this is that she’s having the most difficult time in Language Arts. Language Arts! She writes books in her spare time, for goodness sakes! Really good books. But she’s being told that she needs to meet a long list of very dry standards, and told to “Be creative!” while slogging through all of the requirements. She stopped doing the work – and I really can’t blame her. Nothing ruins a fun time like a bunch of useless rules. Thanks for letting me vent.

i am afraid you can talk to the district until you are blue on the face. There is only one thing you can do opt your child out of all technology period. No digital for assessments classwork, homework, or games etc and only allow pencil, paper, and books. However depending on where you are it may not be an option. You have to protect your child and ensure an environment that is comfortable for her needs and the public school setting may not be it. Know you are not alone your family is one of many.

Here is a post from a Washington anti-Common Core group:
Please do not believe Betsy DeVos when she said “Common Core is Dead.” It’s not. It’s everywhere still. It’s our WA State Learning Standards.
Online digital learning platforms use Common Core (as it was designed to do) to build their software.
Update: It’s Third Sector Capital working with DEL. I do believe I have seen ReadyNation also working with WA, but I can’t find the link right now. I will post it in the comments. I am sure that Third Sector Capital works with ReadyNation.
ReadyNation is a Social Impact Bonds Group that has received lots of monies from the Gates Foundation.
They are holding a pre k Summit for business people only.
Yep they are trying to make money off of preschoolers.
BTW our DEL already works with these people.
Ready Nation is a Social Impact Bonds Group that has received lots of monies from the Gates Foundation.
DEAR, PARENTS WERE YOU POLLED? No? Me either. Let’s be clear this is UNION —->
The UNION letter was addressed to state Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia, who later said during a Newsday interview that NYSUT and other educational groups had been consulted before the state regulations were drafted.
The regulations would restrict the way that penalized districts spend federal Title I dollars by requiring them to set aside money to be used in encouraging greater student test participation, according to union analysts who have reviewed the 95-page regulatory document. (Hate to say it BUT, Told ya!)
Details on the amount of money to be set aside would be worked out after the regulations passed, education experts said.
In addition, “analysts” said, the proposed rules would change the way test-participation rates are factored into schools’ overall academic ratings, making it more likely that schools would be classified as scholastically deficient. (AGAIN, Told ya)
This could pressure reluctant parents into allowing their children to be tested, NYSUT officials said. (Wait, you guys supported passing ESSA right?)
The disputed regulations, posted last month by the state Education Department, are intended to meet requirements of the federal Every Student Succeeds Act, which was approved in 2015. New York State’s Board of Regents is tentatively scheduled to take up the regulations for adoption at its next meeting June 11-12. (Of course they are, this is no surprise right?)
Previous state regulations required districts with low test participation to come up with plans for improvement but did not include sanctions like those evidently spelled out in the latest proposals. (Stop acting surprised will ya.)
Here is a post from an Ohio anti-Common Core group:
From Alice Linahan
In a nutshell-
While elections divide us- And, unelected bureaucrats like the Texas Commissioner of Education Mike Morath regulate us, and while America’s children are being shot in their classrooms; all of us are being controlled. How?
A system has been locked in place by both federal and state legislation. With government regulated “choice” comes accountability through rules and regulations by unelected bureaucrats.
Even if the US Department of Education is dismantled there are federal education dollars tied to mandates coming in via the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) from the Departments of HHS, Labor, Defense, and Education.
Below are the purposes of the College and Career Readiness/Common Core National Standards now codified into law through the passage of (WIOA) and the Every Student Succeed Act (ESSA).
Shifts Education Philosophy– from an education of Opportunity (Equal Opportunity) based on academics; reading, writing, math, and history to an education of equity (Equal Outcomes) based on attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors.
Broadened Impact – The College and Career Readiness/Common Core National Standards expand the target from K-12 (Kindergarten through 12th grade) to a P-20W (Pre-school through College, Trade or Graduate School) workforce system.
Testing Based Outcomes– The College and Career Readiness Common Core National Standards shifts from the “Mental” (Academics and Knowledge-Based Tests) to “Behaviors” (Performance Standards and Competency for the workforce).
Adjustments to Ideology– Change American’s worldview from nationalism into globalism and allows for a government controlled economy known as “Dirigisme” or the more common use–a dirigiste economy. It means essentially a state-directed economy.
Dismantle traditional public schools– With locally elected school boards, in favor of charter-like structures (public/private partnerships) that will be forced to generate student data for global corporate profit and state control.
This NEW system known as a P-20W system will now track, psychologically profile and sort students from Pre-school through the Workforce.
Eventually, any student who opts out of the P-20W system will not be able to get a job in the workforce. Competency-based credentialing begins in Pre-school with this system. Therefore, it negatively impacts a student who does not take the state or federal dollars.
When they say…
Every Student Succeeds they mean Lifelong learning so every student means EVERY American from pre-school through the workforce.

Here is a post from Lynne Taylor, the Common Core Diva:
If ever we needed proof what “education” has become..
Remember this the next time someone says we need skilled workers. Many of us here know that has been the plan all along. The CCSS Machine isn’t hiding this truth anymore. ESSA made no bones about it, “all education must be aligned to post-secondary readiness as laid out by WIOA”. (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act)

If you think small time media hasn’t sold out to the CCSS Machine, take this truth, for example:
I gave a fact based, truth filled interview a couple of years ago to this magazine as the ‘con’ side to Common Core in NC. My 5 pages, was of course, reduced, but the content was re-arranged so more room was available for the pro side. Here is their latest set of lies, and my response.

Warriors, I’ve recently returned from and education related conference. Sex Ed and its inappropriateness was a key portion. Did you know “Dr.” Kinsey was NOT anyone of scientific worth?
His ‘research’ was forced. His victims abused (some died). Parents were not informed of his activities. All our modern sex ed is based on this quack’s findings. WHY?
________________
And here are some replies to said post:
Yes, I’ve known about him for years. His research subjects were generally men from mental hospitals and prisons. They participated in every kind of sexual deviancy known to man. He used this data to make it seem like this type of behavior was normal within the general population. That’s the equivalent of using members of an AA meeting to provide statistical proof that addictions are so ubiquitous that they must be typical human behavior.
______________
have your read Dr. Judith Reisman’s evidence? She was granted money by the US Dept of Justice to investigate Kinsey. Her proof was so powerful and truthful DoJ buried it.
______________
Yes, I am aware. I’m also aware of the trash…reworking of the DSM. How do you even begin to deal with this when it’s infected the culture to this extent?
_______________
I don’t recall reading anything specifically by her, but it doesn’t surprise me that evidence was buried. Kinsey has been the driving force behind so much of the sexual education movement, and of course comprehensive sexuality education is a very critical component to the overarching plan to destroy traditional morality. To do this, the plan’s proponents must undermine the thinking/reasoning centers of students and feed the emotional, instinct driven centers of the brain. It sure makes it a lot easier to move from a society focused upon individual action and accountability and founded upon “natural rights” to one that acts collectively and venerates “human rights” if you can move a large group of people to endorse your political platform based solely upon emotional appeal. Normalizing all types of sexuality also feeds the diversity beast and promotes the idol of “tolerance”.

Here is a post from a Utah anti-Common Core group:
Sometimes when I do the math I become very angry. Utah has just approved two new state wide testing contracts to replace the SAGE test. I added up the price tag for the two and the total is $80,243,642. Lets just say that a teacher’s benefit package equals $100,000 (which was not my case but lets pretend). These tests are costing the state of Utah the equivalent of 800 teachers. Will this test tell us more about the education of our students then 800 teachers could? Will it enhance our student’s education more then 800 teachers would?” Thanks Joylin Lincoln, very well said.
What irks me more is the pretending that RISE is somehow different from SAGE even though the questions are the same. What is a shiny new outhouse when you leave the inside the same? Just saying….
______________
And here are some replies to said post:
The rebranding price tag of $44,000 was more then my salary last year.

What happened today with the discussion for opt outs? With SAGE gone, is there still a parents right to opt out of these two tests?

Yes, they are applying for a moratorium for a year why they try to develop a plan.
______________
Spending another $80m of our taxpayer dollars to perpetuate common core. 😡

Utah is going interoperable with other states with assessments. This is the next step towards the complete loss of local curriculum control. Parents need to understand that curriculum IS assessment and assessment IS curriculum. Common Core was always about “Next Generation Assessments.”
_______________-
both are STILL aligned to CCSS, both data rape students. I have researched both before. Let me know if you want the truth USBE left out

It irks me too. It is so frustrating that the rebranding is happening. Every parent needs to know they are the same test. Opt out!

Here is a post from the anti-CBE group:
“Children are naturally curious and learning is naturally pleasurable. Small releases of dopamine in the brain encourages a child to persevere with the long-term difficult practice needed to build skills naturally over time, such as with sports, arts, and music.
What Silicon Valley is banking on, is to bypass human social interactions and community education experiences by hijacking children’s brains directly with more potent and powerful interactive technologies, where larger doses of dopamine are released, such as happens with drugs, video games and gambling. Their goal is to make the education software as addictive as possible, and they are quite up-front about that.”
And it then quotes another post:
“Many parents intuitively understand that ubiquitous glowing screens are having a negative effect on kids. But it’s even worse than we think. Recent brain imaging research is showing that they affect the brain’s frontal cortex — which controls executive functioning, including impulse control — in exactly the same way that cocaine does.
Technology is so hyper-arousing that it raises dopamine levels — the feel-good neurotransmitter most involved in the addiction dynamic — as much as sex. This addictive effect is why Dr. Peter Whybrow, director of neuroscience at UCLA, calls screens “electronic cocaine” and Chinese researchers call them “digital heroin…”
“The Edu-tech Revolution has begun. At this very moment new computer games and education software are being developed to teach children academics one-to-one via computers. Following on the success of the hi-tech gaming industry, the goal is to use technology to transform schooling.
By merging education and entertainment technologies, advocates and investors of these products stress the potential for educating children faster, more effectively and less expensively than schools currently do. Unfortunately, there are a number of potential problems.
First, many of these new programs are being designed to collect data from children so as to maintain individual personal profiles, that investors and corporations can utilize to design future products and monitor individuals as they move from education into the workforce. T
Moreover, some investors hope to use this data to construct what they expect will become a trillion dollar education market (such as we had with housing) to bundle and sell school and software investments on Wall Street.
Also VERY concerning, is that many Silicon Valley engineers are attempting to make edu-tech software as “pleasurable” as possible, using addictive video “gaming” strategies to design their education products.
Children are naturally curious and learning is naturally pleasurable. Small releases of dopamine in the brain encourages a child to persevere with the long-term difficult practice needed to build skills naturally over time, such as with sports, arts, and music.

Here is a post from an Illinois anti-Common Core group:
This filthy anti American progressive agenda driven organization has infiltrated the NW suburbs school systems as it says; Yo collect data and push their agena with the information collected from students their families and the schools. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR KIDS TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY QUESTIONNAIRES OR SURVEYS OF ANY KIND. We need to get a full transparent accounting of how their tentacles are in the schools and who asked us.
Here is a post from a Utah anti-Common Core group:
“The most recent casualty was Utah which had requested a waiver for the 95% test rate to comply with recently passed state statute which says students can be opted out of statewide testing by their parents and, the school and its employees are to suffer no ill effects as a result of a parent exercising those parental rights. Secretary Devos, carrying out the instructions of the publicly unknown members of the plan review committee, denied this waiver request.”
Here is a post from a New York anti-Common Core group:
The state’s Board of Regents, in a split vote Monday, tentatively agreed to controversial new rules aimed at school districts on Long Island and across New York where large numbers of students boycott state tests.
The new regulations — which among other provisions could result in some schools being required to set aside federal aid money to encourage greater student test participation — passed with 14 Regents in favor and three abstaining.
Regent Roger Tilles, who represents Nassau and Suffolk counties on the board, voted with the majority but expressed continuing concern over what he described as “onerous” sections of the regulations.
State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia, whose staff drafted the regulations, emphasized at the board meeting that a final Regents vote on the rules would not be held until September and that the public would have another opportunity to comment on the regulations in the meantime.
“Everybody didn’t get everything that they wanted,” the commissioner said. “But we came up, I think, with a very comprehensive plan.”
Some board members contended that parents and others with misgivings about Albany’s testing program probably would be confused by certain aspects of the new regulations, including the use of complex formulas to factor in test opt-out rates as part of school district’s academic ratings.
“I think our message is garbled,” said one of the Regents who abstained, Susan Mittler of Ithaca. “There is not an understanding of what these tests are and why we are asking children to take them.”
The rules, aimed at districts with high test-refusal rates, are part of broader regulations that would enforce a federal education law, the Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA, which was adopted in 2015.
ESSA, like a previous federal statute that it replaced, requires at least 95 percent of eligible students in every public school nationwide to take annual state tests in English and math. Only a handful of schools on Long Island meet that requirement due to a series of massive annual test boycotts.
In April, nearly half of all eligible students in Nassau and Suffolk counties — 91,974 in all — declined to take the state’s English Language Arts assessments in grades three through eight, a Newsday survey showed. The inquiry drew responses from 115 districts out of a regional total of 124.
The state’s latest regulations would affect schools falling below the 95 percent benchmark in several ways, both financial and academic.
On the fiscal side, the regulations would authorize the state education commissioner to take certain steps, “which may include requiring that the district set aside a portion of its Title I funds to use on activities to increase student participation in state assessments.”
Title I is a major federal program that provides more than $15 billion a year nationwide, mostly to help students struggling with their math and reading lessons.
Groups representing unionized teachers and the parent boycott have attacked the new rules, which are more sweeping than regulations initially proposed in April.
On Wednesday, leaders of New York State allies for Public Education, a statewide parent and education group, sent a letter to Elia contending that the rules would allow her to “impose a financial penalty” on districts — action that the state has not taken in the past. New York State United Teachers, a union group, takes the same position.
Elia aides disagree that the Title I set-asides would constitute a penalty. So does the Education Trust – New York, a nonprofit private agency based in Manhattan that supports ESSA as a means of raising academic achievement, especially among minority students.
You just don’t get it and why my child no longer attends public school.

Here is a post from the anti-CBE group:
GEF has released a new report. Peter Senge wrote the intro. I had extensive conversations last year with one of the authors concerning their last report and the dangers of so much celebration of an edutech-centric future.
Can you imagine a radical shift in the way we teach kids to walk? Of course not.
The proposal of where we need to go is scary. “Societal wisdom” sure sounds like indoctrination.
Are the authors suggesting our founding fathers had no wisdom? The citizens who supported the noble ideals presented in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution had no societal wisdom?
We need to stop meddling in K-12 education, return to the proven practices to teach kids to read, write, do math and know stuff. The future belongs to them!

“Protopia” sounds a lot like a pseudo-utopia wherein technology and AI will be used to “make today a little better than yesterday”. Tell that to the dying man, eh!
_____________
Biofeedback devices? Personal competence profile and personal reputation….??? 😦
_______________
This is all very exhausting! It’s hard for me to imagine learning this way. So many children and adults learn by doing, project-based learning, growing plants, drawing, painting, investigating how cells work, making new discoveries from manipulating variables, observation and study of animals, etc. The only way I see to counteract this technical system evolving for profit, is to work around it and create environments that most people can relate to, that draws them, ignites their interest, that pulls them into wanting to learn more. Much of what students have learned in the fragmented educational system has left them with the question, “Why do we need to know this?” When we get to work and collaborate ideas and expertise and create projects and hands-on real-life experiments that immediately show us why we are learning it, then maybe we can beat this thing. Being physical while working is also mentally and physically healthier. I don’t know, I think we better start collaborating with scientists, artists, horticulturist, farmers, culinary and nutritionists, environmental engineers etc, and create model learning environments in the real world for our future education. Whatever we teach, whether it is math or reading, we need to make many living connections to it.
____________
Working in the International Baccalaureate, I see this all the time: good ideas about student at the center of education then turned into a massive set of criteria and metrics surrounded by impenetrable language and constant micromanaging of the students themselves. This is not what is needed; it is just another competence based system with fancy graphics. We need kids in real life with real people and real problems.
______________
totally agree. It’s often all about hidden control, for various motives, like sales of tech metric systems to teachers fearing chaos in class, but perhaps most of all, states fearing critical citizens.
_____________
and of course fearing chaos in class comes from large classes of disaffected students, so there is a positive feedback loop that is constantly, if not purposefully, amplified.
______________
Exactly. I think we need a deep study into loop cycles that make matters worse, and stack logical expansion on logical expansion into madness, like if one test works, why not two, why not prepare for the tests better, why not drop everything else just to be sure students score the best, then why not bring in tech that measures every tiny choice leading up to the test, and why not then call those who fail or drop out losers? etc. Similar with our whole society and surveillance. oh boy.

And another post from this group:
Wow-just wow. “However, we added a little wrinkle just to be spicy. Working with our behavioral research team, we modified a player’s charity vote by their in-game honor level, or how sportsmanlike and pleasant they were to play with. The higher their in-game honor level, the more weight their vote carried. Our goal was to link the in-game behavior to real-world implications in order to help change the self-narrative of players, both in and out of the game…We are excited to continue exploring what we can do to help mobilize our players (and ourselves) to keep making social impact and changing the narrative about what it means to be a gamer.”
Riot Games is funding Institute of Play, which is promoting gamification of education. If folks are looking for a summer read, check out Daniel Suarez’s books “Daemon” and “Freedom.” The first is a bit schlocky, but you have to read it to get to the next one which is more thoughtful IMO.

I have been in schools recently that have 50 kids in one classroom all sitting facing a computer screen. Charter schools around here are not held accountable at all. I worked for a school that took all of my language, and still uses it today but does not have a program that represents the language.
____________
Yes, education has become highly profitable with the charter schools and new Edtech methods which they call “personalized” “learner-centered” and competency based. But it really means more time putting kids on computers.
______________
And is there any link between New America and GEF? A friend who had contact with some GEF advisory board members (they wanted her to join) said her sense was they don’t have much money. New America appears to be rolling in it… https://www.newamerica.org/our-funding/our-funders/
___________-
I haven’t done much research on the advisors, though a number of Emily’s posts discuss Vander Ark. GEFF is headed by Pavel Luksha, with the Skolkovo Institute in Russia. Obviously the current political climate has put a damper on US/Russia partner initiatives. I think MIT pulled out of a relationship they had had a few years back. I don’t know of a direct tie between New America and GEFF.
_______________
“The primary operator of GEFF is Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, a world-class research institution co-founded by Skolkovo Foundation (Russia) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA). RF Group serves as the initiative co-founder, and sets the initial context of the event with our Education Futures Global Agenda report.” http://refuture.me/
Are there other American ed tech company consortiums that have a similar manifesto?

#Deepshit We live in a system where profit at the cost of the whole is rewarded, where destruction of nature makes sense, and smart new forms of slavery are welcomed by the ‘owners’. We live in a system where children either learn to support the system, for if they’ll fail, they’ll feed the system with forced labour if need be. Countless people seek alternatives, seek change, address issues. But the core is rotten, succesfull change far away. Ideas of how to change it are many, but none yet succesfully going viral across the globe igniting a massive shift. What essential arguments, would make all eyes go open en all teachers join the revolution? Sadly the insights above, many here will share, aren’t doing it.

If you are in Norway, you should have NORDEFCO on your radar. It is an Scandinavian extension of the Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative that originated in the US Defense Department. They, in partnership with the US Department of Education, have largely coordinating been coordinating the ed-tech transition here since the late 1990s. I believe they are behind the shift in places like Finland to tech-heavy “phenomenon-based learning.” https://nordicadl.com/archive/adl-conference/
One of the early pioneers of Facebook and its first President Sean Parker, voiced his regret regarding helping create social media in the form we know it today, saying:
“I don’t know if I really understood the consequences of what I was saying, because of the unintended consequences of a network when it grows to a billion or 2 billion people and it literally changes your relationship with society, with each other… God only knows what it’s doing to our children’s brains.”
Parker says the social networking site exploits human psychological vulnerabilities through a validation feedback loop that gets people to constantly post to get even more likes and comments.
“It’s exactly the kind of thing that a hacker like myself would come up with, because you’re exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology,” he said. “The inventors, creators — it’s me, it’s Mark [Zuckerberg], it’s Kevin Systrom on Instagram, it’s all of these people — understood this consciously. And we did it anyway.” https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-21/depressing-chart-mark-zuckerberg-does-not-want-you-see

Here is a post from an anti-Common Core group:
Cathy Ruse reports for Family Research Council, May 15, 2018, that public school students in Fairfax County, Virginia, are subjected to 80 hours of “Family Life Education” sex ed — on the kids’ evolving “sexual identity,” the proper handling of contraceptive drugs and devices, and how to give consent for sex.
But Fairfax County’s longtime Democrat-controlled school board is set to take things from bad to worse…
Here is a post from an Ohio anti-Common Core group:
Her mother says that she was told by the principal that her daughter did not meet all of her graduation requirements for the 2018 school year – specifically for not taking one of two required Ohio State tests.
Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
Moms and Dads in Millard County. Guess what? Your district has now become the pilot rural district for “personalized,” global-citizen-based, curriculum. If you wonder why your kids are getting Google Chromebooks, it’s because your district has sold out to UNESCO—the UN’s education ministry.
Millard District has received a grant to partner with the Consortium for School Networking. The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) is a partner with UNESCO—the UN’s education ministry. President Trump and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have called UNESCO anti-Israel for a reason. If you need that translated, it means anti-Christian.
This technology partnership is designed to, eventually, gut local curriculum control through online learning. UNESCO is heck-bent on sexualizing curriculum worldwide. This is well documented. Just do a quick search for UNESCO, Planned Parenthood and Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE). CSE is designed to integrate throughout online, globalized curriculum—including through subjects like Digital Citizenship and Digital Literacy.
Dads. On this Father’s Day, this is your battle cry. Don’t march in Millard’s 4th of July parade, or bother watching it, unless you truly defend America’s children—your children. Rise up and protect your children from these soul-destroying, globalist tyrants. You’re selling your souls for a mess of pottage.
I grew up in rural Utah. Dads in rural Utah “get” freedom and what it takes to defend and maintain it. It’s time, Dads.
“there is need for ongoing technical guidance, mentorship and supervision of teachers; moreover training for school inspectors is required to ensure there are mechanisms in place to ensure effective monitoring at the district level.”
_____________
Yep. They’re tracking districts through the data systems.
____________
I’m in Millard County and often wondered about the Chromebooks… what do I do about it? Can I keep my kids off of them?
____________
Yes! You are the parents!!
___________
But, just know that the school will likely challenge you because the entire district is starting to grade children on their global competencies: values, attitudes and behaviors.
__________
The reason they need each child on their own Chromebook is that children are supposed to be moved from 3x per year assessments into curriculum-embedded assessment so that their behaviors can be tracked (and shaped) continuously. When your children can’t be tracked, their “growth” can’t be measured and so the school gets caught between federal laws for student growth measurements and parental rights to control curriculum.
__________
The district has received a grant so they cannot back away from this plan now. They have chosen money over parental rights.
_____________
Please, do what you can to protect your own kids and keep us posted on this thread on how the district and school react. They will tell you that local/state teachers are developing the curriculum, and there’s nothing to worry about. But. The young teachers are being trained to choose pre-curated curricukum. Often, they don’t actually vett the curriculum. And, logistically, they can’t vett it if every child is learning something different on a computer-adaptive platform. When the online curriculum adapts, in real time, it can’t be vetted—by design.
___________
I would encourage you to watch the video I posted above where I explain the goal for Google, Microsoft and UNESCO. Share it with any parents who will listen. I would be happy to come to Millard and give the presentation in person too, where I could answer questions.
____________
Prayers for you and yours!
__________
I spoke with the principal at the high school about their increased usage of electronic learning last year and how it was affecting my kids and unfortunately it fell on deaf ears.
_____________
In our school district’s enrollment process, there is a question that asks parents if we would allow internet access. Does your enrollment process ask that? If so, just say no. And even if it doesn’t, just tell the teacher you want paper printouts for everything. No online assignments.
____________
Our district does digital citizenship and I opted my kid out. I later found out that one of the software questions asks kids if they considered a truck a gift option for a boy birthday and a doll a gift option for a girl birthday. When answered yes, the student was told that is a sexist thing to think and then it explained why. This was through the (not-so) Common Sense Media online program. This group has backed legislation here in CA that is anti parental rights under the guise of “helping” kids. Thankfully it was defeated, for now. The group frequently backs children’s privacy legislation but their own privacy statement does not. Complete hypocrisy! Wolves in sheep’s clothing all over the place!
______________
The power of Common Sense Education is in their content curation systems which are starting to precurate online content for teachers. Have you seen Common Sense’s Digital Citizenship curriculum for 6th-8th graders? I can email it to you if you want to message me your email.
____________
I have had a preview of it through an hour long district presentation. But more info. would be great! I will message you my e-mail. I know they also give surveys at the end without parental notification or permission. CSM is a huge political thorn in my side! The Steyer brothers are political activists and Chelsea Clinton is on their advisory board. Bad news all around.
_______________
Yep. Bad news! And with teacher training favoring their friend Darling-Hammond’s SEL (InTASC) Standards, it’s going to get much harder for parents to fight Common Sense curriculum integration into the schools.

Public schools all around our nation aren’t teaching our innocent children what they deserve toward their futures. Instead reformation and rewriting American History as well as other mandatory learning textbooks aren’t even mentioned anymore. This in itself is the downgrading producing more illiteracy than good. Homeschooling and Charter is much more effective as a proven accomplishment students deserve.

UDPATE: The first link about Millard and CoSn didn’t work. Here is the corrected link. I’ve tried to update it on those pages that shared it, but not everyone’s page is public. Please revise it if you’ve shared this story so that people can access it:
WE KNEW IT!! Unions will hold hostage schools in the Fall? Rumbling across states of Fall mass strikes
“Ms. Harrison urges a change in public schools from “an education model” to a “medical/behavioral/tactical model” where teachers will become well versed in medicine, fire arms handling and psychology so as to be better able to do the government’s work of treating, protecting and molding the minds of the state’s children.
Of course, it’s all tied together with more training, more administration and more money for the public school leviathan. So it goes. Big government grows bigger by creating legions of government employees represented by big government supportive unions who have a vested interest in supporting even bigger government. The rest of us are left to watch and experience government’s continual incremental takeover of just about everything…”
Here is a post from a Washington anti-Common Core group:
**The History of Goals 2000**
In 1989, a coalition of state governors concerned about the ailing state of America’s public schools proposed a solution: “Goals 2000.” This program would set educational goals for the nation’s public schools to be achieved by the year 2000, create a framework for implementing the goals, and provide incentives for the states to cooperate in meeting the goals.
By 1994, the eight national goals were in place and Goals 2000 was an official federal program.
The Eight National Goals
1. By the year 2000, all children will start school ready to learn.
2. By the year 2000, the high school graduation rate will increase to at least 90 percent.
3. By the year 2000, all students will leave grades 4, 8, and 12 having demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter including English, mathematics, science, foreign languages, civics and government, economics, arts, history, and geography, and every school in America will ensure that all students learn to use their minds well, so they may be prepared for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive employment in our Nation’s modern economy.
4. By the year 2000, the Nation’s teaching force will have access to programs for the continued improvement of their professional skills and the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to instruct and prepare all American students for the next century.
5. By the year 2000, United States students will be the first in the world in mathematics and science achievement.
6. By the year 2000, every adult American will be literate and will possess the knowledge and skills necessary to compete in a global economy and exercise the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
7. By the year 2000, every school in the United States will be free of drugs, violence and the unauthorized presence of firearms and alcohol and will offer a disciplined environment conducive to learning.
8. By the year 2000, every school will promote partnerships that will increase parental involvement and participation in promoting the social, emotional, and academic growth of children.
Warriors, take note: the merger of Ed and Labor will not rest solely on PreK to College education, but on every single American citizen in need of going to work or getting ‘education’ to earn credentials TO work.
The merger will NOT close the U.S. Dept. of Education, but enlarge it. The merger will disrespect your school choice.
Both Ed and Labor Cabinet Agencies are ILLEGAL. Why do we need to comply?
We should revolt.
Quote me, if you like.

Here is a post from Women on the Wall:
“Jane Robbins, senior fellow at American Principles Project (APP), told Breitbart News in a statement the administration’s proposal is “riddled with problems.”
“Rather than returning government to the people as the president promised, it centralizes government,” she said. “It codifies the Common Core-type workforce development model of job training, rather than genuine education, and gives Big Business outsized influence on what happens in schools. It promotes data sharing and citizen tracking for the benefit of a government-managed economy. It’s a mess. We can only hope Congress rejects it outright.”
In an interview with Breitbart News, Eunie Smith, president of the Eagle Forum, said the administration’s proposal is mind-boggling in its apparent acceptance that it is the role of the federal government to plan the workforce.
Smith said the proposal is a “Jeb Bush-type plan” that suggests “the only purpose of education is to prepare a citizen for a slot in the workforce.”
“Rather than equip an individual to pursue whatever goal he sets for himself as part of his God-given freedom, this is, instead, the German model being pushed by misguided business interests and some state interests,” she explained. “As a result, the type of education an individual would receive would be influenced by crony corporations dictating to schools the skills needed for future workers.”
This graphic appeared in a 4 part video series from Freedom Project Media in 2017. I was one of the 3 expert panelists. With the HEA (Higher Education Act) being re-vamped by the same Sellout Congressional traitors as ESSA, we saw the writing on the Wall.
With the Ed/Labor merger, this is all we will know in America. Look how closely we are to the end game goal: global workforce training. #ourtimeisrunningout

Here is a post from the Common Core Diva Lynne Taylor:
Is this really education’s goal? It wasn’t supposed to be. How to think, act, and live; not what the think do, or where you will work.
_________________
And here is a reply to this post:
I still remember the day my principal stood before me in a staff meeting (way back in about 2000?) and asked, “what should be the purpose of education? Shouldn’t it be workforce ready?” I was like No. Hell no.
That was back in NCLB years (and anyone who complained, about how we were actually REDUCING education, and NARROWING it, was accused of just suffering from the soft bigotry of low expectations ) and I’ve had to watch the nonsense train ever since, especially since it’s through constant measuring and torturing of data in accountability that forces compliance.
So, Big business and monopoly power, has already changed the purpose of education to fit big business, –mostly, but not completely–this is just a final continuation of that and digital makes it all the easier.
Two words: Powell Memo. Oh, and one more: Greed.
Here is a post from a New York anti-Common Core group that helps explain why more attacks are happening at schools:
“…Under Mayor de Blasio, the Department of Education required teachers provide full documentation of a range of non-punitive interventions to at least three midlevel offenses before asking their principal to issue a suspension. Principals, in turn, had to apply in writing to a central office that often rejected their requests.”
The Poughkeepsie school district board just sent me a statement, announcing the 2018 four-year June graduation rate for Poughkeepsie High School: 48 percent.

It is tragically ironic how this 13-year-old faces a FELONY for doing (recording someone without their consent) what Ed Tech companies do to HUNDREDS of students EVERY DAY without repercussions:
The letter lays out the master plan of the Clinton Administration to take over the entire U.S. educational system so that it can serve national economic planning of the workforce.
The letter makes it clear that Hillary participated in the development of that plan some time before the election, though it was scarcely reported at the time. The plan is sweeping in scope, and largely signed into law in 1994 by Clinton’s Democratically controlled Congress (in the Goals 2000 Act, the School-to-Work Act, and the reauthorized Elementary and Secondary Education Act).
That legislation continues to move our system today, and is being implemented in all fifty states, driven by money and mandates from the federal level.
🚩🚩🚩A bipartisan agreement has been reached to update the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education (CTE) Act. It DICTATES at least $1 billion of our federal tax dollars on career and technical education programs. Fine? But…
THE PLAN: “Broad authority” to the States to develop their own improvement plans. BUT if states don’t hit their goals, then the Secretary of Education could “hold them accountable.”
That PLUS the Trump administration proposal to merge the Education and Labor departments and Education Department funding !!!!! #StopFedEd 🚩🚩🚩🚩THIS IS THE MARC TUCKER PLAN….🚩🚩🚩🚩

Here is a post from the anti-CBE group:
[name withheld] and I went down to Washington to confront the impact investors about their “secret bipartisan political plan” to privatize pretty much everything.
[name withheld], you regularly do yeoman’s work to expose the economic and workforce development agenda (and for anyone chancing to read this comment who hasn’t figured it out yet, workforce development is simply the education arm of economic development). This article is yet another example. Thank you. You and [name withheld] are two of my preferred sources when I’m looking for details to back up what I’ve been saying to the conservative and libertarian crowds for a long, long time now–that the economic/workforce development agenda is not free, open, or voluntary in any way. It is, rather, the exploitation of the many by the few.
_______________
I chuckled when you said that people seemed confused by your presence. I’m sure they were. The whole goal of the economic/workforce development crowd is to do their deals in a way that excludes the rest of us. And to a large extent they’ve succeeded in keeping it this way because most people are (sadly) not going to go to the lengths you do to investigate, analyze, and understand what is being done to them and their children in the name of “public good.”
_____________
We are up against giants. Now that I‘ve seen the machine, I have to contest it. I‘ll go down swinging anyway.
____________
Just an addendum…You know, we’ve been trained so thoroughly, most of us. Folks on the so-called “Left” have been conditioned to side with the unions as at least the more trustworthy of government “partners.” Folks on the so-called “Right” have been conditioned to believe that the unions are the devil, while Big Business is the great savior. It occurs to very few that corruption pervades all of these institutions/groups, that they’re all mixing it up together to a greater or lesser degree, depending on what’s to be gained…and that none of them can be trusted to do the right thing. It’s up to us, and us alone, to engage and expose the truth. I thank you for all you do to disabuse people of the notion that the people who pose as saviors are anything of the kind, to let the corrupt know we’re watching, and to put the truth out there for all to see. I am more than grateful for you.
I was particularly peeved when both teachers unions threw us under the bus. While I dread the thought of no unions at all, what use are they if they’re bought out by Bill Gates? At the first NPE convention, Diane Ravitch extracted a promise from both unions not to accept more Gates’ money. Three days later, they accepted a grant from him.
In Chicago? I was there. I heard that promise from both union leaders. And sad to say, I was not surprised when they both broke those promises. What is more surprising to me is that Ravitch and the rest of the NPE crowd, some of whom are extremely intelligent, principled people (Cody, Burris, others) have failed to take a stance that holds union leadership to any substantive account.
I wasn’t there, but I followed the convention online. I will never forget it either. Or forgive.
Have you seen this? Ohio just voted down a bill to combine the state’s school, university and workforce development systems into a single new Department of Learning and Achievement — and now here it is at the Federal level. Plus MORE!
And frankly it’s a miracle that Ohio voted the measure down. Now that the Feds are openly heading that direction, Ohio is likely to follow suit…unless the people of Ohio throw themselves on the train tracks.
With the Feds pushing it, no need for states to do it too. Or maybe it was our legislators growing a backbone. Or Kasich wanting to appear to thwart Trump without actually doing so. Like the old Chinese curse, we DO live in interesting times.
The Feds will do what the Feds always do. They’ll pass enabling legislation that incentivizes the states to go out and do likewise. In a word: comply.

Kindergarten coders: When is too early to put kids in front of screens?
Updated: JUNE 27, 2018 — 5:00 AM EDT
YONG KIM / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
Jennifer Lentz with her children (right to left) Bryan, 7, Daisy, 4, and Thomas, 9, reading in their Swarthmore home. Lentz has concerns about her children’s screen time exposure.
by William Bender & Kristen A. Graham – Staff Writers
Last year, Jeremy Seedorf’s 9-year-old daughter and her classmates received tablet computers from their Lancaster County school. He wouldn’t let her bring one home: “The iPads were coming, and there was nothing we could do about it.”
In the Neshaminy School District, Jessica Reeder was taken aback when she discovered that her daughter had to use the Internet to do her 1st-grade homework: “That was a little bit concerning to us.”
Jennifer Lentz limits screen time at home for her sons, but she can’t stop the increasing amount they are getting in class at their Delaware County elementary school: “There are a lot of parents who feel like me. But I think they feel defeated.”
Hadi Partovi might consider that a victory.
Partovi, a tech entrepreneur and co-founder of the nonprofit Code.org, is leading a national effort to convince schools that more and younger is better when it comes to coding and computer science. Tech giants Microsoft, Facebook and Google are among Code.org’s financial backers. The goal is to fill the next generation of computer-related jobs.
Code.org has expanded its reach even as parents such as Seedorf, Reeder and Lentz try to slow the tech tide for their own children.
Twenty-five percent of all U.S. students now have Code.org accounts and 800,000 teachers use the site for class lessons, according to the nonprofit. Partovi said two-thirds of all 5th graders in the country have an account.
“It’s mind blowing, considering it’s something I started five years ago,” Partovi, an early investor in Facebook and Airbnb, said in a recent interview with the Inquirer and Daily News.
Code.org, headquartered in Seattle, has been pressing states to pass laws and adopt policies that support computer science, and, by extension, put technology in the hands of students at a younger age.
“Many would say we’re leading the movement,” Partovi said.
Gov. Wolf has embraced the tech approach, hoping to fill an estimated 17,000 to 21,000 computer-related jobs in Pennsylvania. Advocates say early access to technology in schools can help break the cycle of poverty for disadvantaged students.
“There is definitely a supply and demand gap,” Judd Pittman, a STEM consultant to state education secretary Pedro Rivera, said of unfilled jobs that require computer skills.
Wolf’s latest budget proposal includes a $50 million job training initiative to improve STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and computer-science education. At a summit being held in Harrisburg this week, elementary school teachers can take Code.org’s one-day computer science fundamentals course. Over the past year, more than 1,300 teachers have been trained through a collaboration between the state’s intermediate units and Code.org.
In New Jersey, where Code.org says demand for computer jobs is even higher, all high schools are now required to offer computer science classes. Code.org and its partners have provided K-5 computer science training to 3,350 teachers.
Code.org has had remarkable success in advancing its agenda by offering free programs for schools and through a social-media-savvy marketing campaign and lobbying. It has raised $70 million since 2013. So far, 43 states have adopted education policies supporting computer science, Partovi said.
In Pennsylvania, Code.org has hired Bala Cynwyd lobbyist Sean Reilly, who served as political director for former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum. Reilly said Code.org is seeking state funding for computer-science training for teachers. The state has endorsed computer-science standards and now allows those courses to count toward graduation, he said.
Code.org’s critics, however, question whether Silicon Valley should have so much influence over public education.
“Why is Bill Gates concerned about schools? He sees it as another market. He sees students as workers,” said Paul Thomas, an education professor at Furman University and a former high school English teacher. Thomas doubts the value of teaching so narrow a skill as coding.
“It’s better to teach them literacy, numeracy, how to think, how to be critical,” Thomas said, “so then they can kind of adapt to whatever the future requires.”
Lentz and other like-minded parents worry not just about excessive screen time, Internet addiction and data privacy. They ask whether the new courses are being taught too early in the name of workforce development – and at the expense of more fundamental skills, like critical thinking, empathy and collaboration.
“They should be doing what kids do and not thinking about their careers, when they’re eight years old, in a field they may not even go into,” said Lentz, a former Philadelphia assistant district attorney whose sons are in the 1st and 3rd grades.
Alison McDowell, a Philadelphia education activist and mother of a high school junior, questions Code.org’s motives.
“They’re pushing it down into really young grades,” she said. “Do we send kids to school so Oracle can pay people less because they have twice as many people for the jobs?”
Partovi, a father of three, describes computer science as a “basic foundation” for current and future jobs, not just in the tech industry, but in government, finance, manufacturing, entertainment and other industries looking to hire technology talent.
“The screen time, I think, is harmful when kids are just watching movies or playing video games,” Partovi said. “But if a student is creating a video game, that’s very different. Taking that away from a student would be like taking a paint brush away from a student that’s learning to paint.”
At Ridge Park Elementary school in Conshohocken, five- and six-year-olds are introduced to coding through Kodable, an education program with the tagline, “Learn to code before you know how to read.” Teacher Brian Adams said such lessons emphasize perseverance, problem solving and efficiency.
“I tell them to think logically,” said Adams, who has been using Kodable for four years at the K-3 school. “You’re trying to get from point A to point B. What’s the best way to get there?”
Mimi Ito, a cultural anthropologist at the University of California, Irvine who has researched educational software, noted that the American Academy of Pediatrics has loosened its screen time guidelines for children, emphasizing instead high-quality programming and parental involvement.
“If your kid is doing something valuable and creative at school and happens to use devices, I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with it,” Ito said.
In the Philadelphia school district, 129 schools have a digital literacy and technology teacher for grades K-8. Students can learn to program a spherical robot called Sphero through a Bluetooth-connected iPad, then use it, for example, to power a model boat or test a model bridge. They have programmed an Ozobot robot to follow a paper map of the Underground railroad, with colored markers, not a screen.
“We want students to understand coding, but in context with everything that’s going on, because that’s how our world is,” said Luke Bilger, senior project manager in the district’s office of education technology. “Everything you do, there’s some sort of programming involved.
Parent Bob Stewart is taking it a step further, supplementing his 8-year-old daughter’s education at Anne Frank Elementary School with a week-long robotics camp this month.
“I want her to understand that she can do these types of things,” Stewart said. “I think it’s important, almost like another language. I don’t know where the jobs are going to be in the next 10 or 15 years.”
But demand is also up for no-tech education at the Waldorf School of Philadelphia, a small private school in Germantown that teaches children from 24 months until eighth grade – without iPads, Chromebooks, or any screens whatsoever. There is a waiting list for first grade and other programs, according to Alexandra Borders, the school’s director of advancement and enrollment.
“I used to have to explain why we’re a tech-free school,” Borders said. “Now, I find parents are actually searching us out. They get it.”
Several Silicon Valley executives and other tech industry employees from companies like Apple, Yahoo and eBay have sent their children to Waldorf schools.
So does Zack Seward, the Philadelphia-based editor-in-chief of technology news network Technical.ly. His 7-year-old daughter will be entering the 1st grade at the Kimberton Waldorf School this year and his 4-year-old son will start kindergarten.
“Skills like being present and thinking creatively and imaginative play are so much more important than any technical skills that can be offered at a young age,” Seward said. “It bums me out when I see a kid absorbed in a phone.”
Seedorf, the Lancaster County parent and guidance counselor, has since relented and allows his now 10-year-old daughter to bring her school-issued iPad home to manage her school assignments. But he thinks the “train is moving too fast” when it comes to technology initiatives that are getting schoolchildren online at earlier ages.
“It’s like everyone is caving and accepting this is the new norm,” he said, “and not taking into account what some of the consequences might be.”

And here are some replies to said post:
This year in Virginia our Standards of Learning include standards to be met in computer science in grades k-12. Code.Va is offering teachers free professional development to incorporate the standards as they’re incorporated into so many subjects. I’ve asked if the teachers will be paid for their PD time but no response. I don’t think they are being paid to do this training and right there we have people working for free for corporations.

The thing I don’t get is what exactly do they mean by “coding”? There are many different computer languages and they change over time. One thing that does need to be taught – and not in kindergarten, more like middle/high school – is computer literacy. Not tablets, computers. How to save a file, how to hook up a printer, stuff like that.
One needs to have a good foundation of math skills, writing, and logic to code. It’s not just learning to code.
_____________
My sense is coding will be the next sweat shop, low wage work required to manage cyber warfare threats posed by the vast expansion of IoT. They don’t want thinkers, questioners or designers.
______________
You got it. It’s all about expanding the labor pool to decrease worker pay and compensation and increase insecurity knowing you can easily be replaced. Meantime actual top-tier coders and CS people are saying that future coding will be AI-assisted and won’t require writing base-level code as much as an being able to design, create, and critically curate systems.
__________________
I once led a CS PD with New York High school teachers focusing on defending against digital surveillance and critiquing Facebook and the social impacts of automated systems and algorithmic bias. My sense was that such critical “digital literacy” skill-development was not what the higher ups behind the CS push were interested in. They wanted kids coding, not exploring ethics, thinking critically about the unseen embedded values and biases in digital networks, or how these systems work as mechanisms of social control, exploitation, and oppression.

#Read this study commissioned by Google for Education.
Who knew Google played a role in the ed-workforce talent (data) pipeline? But of course Google is involved in this–it’s good for business, right? No need for knowledge when you can Google it. More users dependent on Google means more data, more ads, more marketing…more Google business. As Google points out in the study, “Technology has a central role to play in skills development.” Chromebooks, G-Suite, Google Classroom, Google app bundles are ready to help!… and Google today is teaming up with Common Sense Media to create Digital Citizenship Curriculum. How …fitting.)
———–
Google for Education commissioned a 2015 study entitled, Driving the skills agenda: Preparing students for the future. The report apparently tries to predict how to best prepare for an unknown future and jobs that don’t yet exist, as evidenced by the following quotes,
“This research programme, sponsored by Google, [is] to examine to what extent the skills taught in education systems around the world are changing. For example, are so-called 21st-century skills, such as leadership, digital literacy, problem solving and communication, complementing traditional skills such as reading, writing and arithmetic? And do they meet the needs of employers and society more widely?”
“How can education best prepare young people to navigate their way through an increasingly interconnected and complex world in which factual recall will perhaps matter less than their ability to understand differing perspectives?”
“As proponents of 21st-century skills point out, we have no way of knowing what challenges tomorrow’s graduates will face, and still less what jobs will exist for them to apply for. The best education can hope to do is to equip students with sufficiently transferable skills to be able to respond to whatever the future holds.”
“The business executives surveyed agree that broadening access to technology in schools and universities is one of the top three ways in which the education system in their countries could benefit business.”
——-
Tech in schools to benefit business. That’s rich. What about education benefitting …children?
——-
If the Trump Administration is looking to do a little pruning with their recent proposal; maybe they can **instead**, hone their focus and make some cuts to the unconstitutional, incredibly expensive, non-consensual student data pipeline.
Have you seen that HSLDA is pushing GSuite into homeschool co-ops? Makes me wonder what deals are going on.

If I had a dime for every time I heard someone say, “Unknown future and jobs that don’t exist yet.” How ugly is this future going to get? We’ve never had a crystal ball about future jobs and trends.
____________
LIkely pretty ugly as so many businesses/schools will be closed. They’ve been saying this since that 1989 NGA education conference in Kansas with Lamar A, Shirley McCune, et all.

The Neenah school district in Wisconsin has adopted a radical K-5 sex-ed curriculum:
A Pennsylvania school district was forcing students to watch LGBT indoctrination videos and parents weren’t even allowed to know what their kids were being shown:
Several years ago when I was researching Michael Crow and Arizona State University and the Koch money flowing into it – a lot of it ostensibly for “sustainability” – I came across a document talking about how it would be much better for the environment if people didn’t go away to college, but just did it all from home. You know, to reduce car trips. That seemed kind of far-fetched just two years ago. I couldn’t wrap my mind around how it would happen. Now I am mapping all the investments of Charles Giancarlo, former Cisco CTO and now venture capitalist – SO MANY video conferencing companies. You know they knew all along how they wanted this show to run. It is making me more and more upset every entry that I add to LittleSis. We are being robbed of our lives – every damn day. 😕

Back in May, I did an interview with Michelle Malkin regarding Abbott’s ties to Big Pharma and the K-12 lobby. https://youtu.be/69MdtkCZ9Xg
This should be a red flag to both liberals and conservatives. Abbott needs to be exposed.
And the post that she quoted:
Abbott Wants to Keep His Dictatorial Power So He Can Mandate COVID Vaccinations. Huge Fortunes $$$ for Big Pharma, Lobbyists and Politicians Lt. Gov. Patrick’s “silence”, AG Paxton’s defense of Abbott, and Abbott’s lust for power are likely a result of the enormous influence exerted on these men by the Texas Legislature’s Big Pharma lobbyist, Mike Toomey. Abbott wants to keep his unconstitutional authority and power, so that he can mandate the COVID-19 virus vaccine without legislative approval. The powerful politicians, Big Pharma and their lobbyists will make a fortune with forced vaccinations. The politicians who support forced vaccinations will receive a “piece of the profit pie”. The language Abbott uses in his public statements clearly indicates that he is planning to force the population to be vaccinated. If a person refuses to be vaccinated, then his ability to participate in work, school, travel, etc., will be greatly limited. Through his executive orders, Abbott has deprived Texans of their life, liberty and property without legal due process in violation of the Texas Constitution. Millions of Texans have suffered the loss of jobs, loss of businesses, loss of homes, and even loss of life because of Abbott’s tyrannical actions. Only the Texas Legislature has the authority to suspend or make laws. The Texas Constitution states in Article 1, Section 28 that “No power may suspend laws in the state except the legislature.” In the emergency act of 1975, the legislature delegated this authority to the governor in time of emergency in Texas Government Code, Section. This is in clear violation of the Texas Constitution as noted above. The legislature cannot delegate to the governor the authority to legislate, an authority which the Texas Constitution strictly gives to the legislature. Abbott placed Big Pharma lobbyist, Mike Toomey, in a position of prominence on his “Coronavirus Strike Force.” Toomey is infamous for serving as the driving force behind former Governor Perry’s disgraceful HPV vaccine mandate debacle in 2011. This established Toomey’s role as Big Pharma’s puppet master within the office of the Texas governor. Investigate and research texansforvaccinechoice.com regarding Gov. Perry and Mike Toomey. Read the articles relating to Toomey and his questionable appointment to the governor’s “Coronavirus Strike Force”. Why do you need a forced vaccine for a viral infection that has a 99.2% survival rate of the mere 2% of the population that has even had a COVID-19 infection with symptoms. Only 6 out of every 10,000 people have died COVID, the average age those who have died is approaching 80 years, with 50% of the deaths in nursing home residents. Annually, 22% of the over 2,800,000 deaths in America are nursing home residents. That’s 618,000 annual deaths of nursing home residents. According to the CDC less than 11,000 people have died of COVID-19 alone. The rest of the people who died with COVID-19 had 2.6 pre-existing health conditions, i.e., heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, diabetes, obesity, liver and kidney disease, etc. The COVID-19 virus is easily treatable with Hydroxychloroquine (HCL), Zithromax and Zinc, and with corticosteroids, like Dexamethasone and Budesimide. Additionally vitamins A, B complex, C, and D3, magnesium and probiotics have been clearly demonstrated to strengthen the immune system which helps prevent or minimize the effects of viral and bacterial infections. There is no need for a COVID-19 vaccine. If the COVID-19 vaccine is mandated for everyone, then a significantly larger number of people would develop side effects from the vaccine than the number of people who contracted COVID. The flu vaccine has proven ineffective, because the flu virus mutates. The flu vaccine is derived from the previous year’s flu virus. By the time a person receives the flu vaccine, the flu virus will already have mutated. The same thing is happening with the coronavirus, COVID-19. It has already begun to mutate. COVID-19 is an insignificant cause of morbidity and death when compared to the multitude of causes of the over 2,800,00 annual deaths in America; heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, kidney and liver disease, auto accidents, accidents if all kinds, drug and alcohol abuse, pneumonia, tuberculosis, strokes, flu, etc. The mass hysteria and panic over COVID-19 is a media and political ploy to get people to sacrifice their Constitutional rights and liberties for a delusion of safety. They have neither. Big Pharma lobbyist Toomey and his political puppets will line their pockets with money from Big Pharma if vaccinations for COVID-19 are mandated. The whole plannedemic Is about power, control and money. Steven Hotze, M.D., CEO Conservative Republicans of Texas

Take a good look. It’s people like Gary Glickman who’ve spent their careers preparing markets that will put toddlers on blockchain.

The Bicycle and The Great Reset Here’s a small little snapshot of our life that perfectly illustrates what’s happening on a global scale and how it affects each of us on the micro level. So, my son broke his ankle mountain biking a month ago. Of course I couldn’t go into the urgent care with him because of COVID and they sent him home with a cast and a X-ray. His follow up appointment was made with their managed care dashboard (Fourth Industrial Revolution, 4IR). He was never seen by a doctor or any specialist on his follow up visit (4IR). Now that his ankle is healed (we hope), he wants to get his bike fixed. It took him weeks to find this bike because there’s a bicycle shortage due to COVID-1984 (The Great Reset). He took his bike to a repair shop and they said he will have to order the crank shaft he needs from Amazon because the supplier has an exclusive deal with Amazon that prevents them from selling to other retailers. Once he gets that part from Amazon, he can bring it to them for repairs. This bicycle company will not be able to pay their rent or employees by selling services only. To make matters worse, by design, California has Prop 15 on the ballot that will increase the property taxes of commercial property which will in turn increase the rent for these small businesses. They will close and the small time commercial real estate owners will default on their loans. This Prop 15 is backed by Chan-Zuckerberg, Michael Bloomberg, and the whole merry cast of neo-liberals. When these properties default, Blackstone will scoop them up at rock bottom prices. Facebook will not pay this new commercial property tax because they are converting their San Jose campus to a live/work/company housing building which exempts them from the commercial property tax they are supporting. Expect to hear the other mega corps to convert their buildings in California to a live/work/company housing as well (4IR, Agenda21, SDG2030). According to Business Insider, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos saw his wealth rise an estimated $48 billion from March to June of 2020. Meanwhile, who will replace the bicycle repair businesses? There will probably be a badge for that someone can earn and they will advertise their service in the new gig economy and we’ll pay for it with our Federal cryptocurrency and verify the exchange on the new Federal Reserve blockchain.

So 2 weeks ago Costco nearby changed the payment registers to no longer allow customer to withdrawl out cash back, from when you use your bank debit card. Now 7-11 is currently to change their registers as well. The owner I spoke to said Something about rounding up amount and then donating your coin change to their charity. 2 days ago I noticed they changed the bank machines at my bank, not sure why. They still give cash . Yesterday McDonald owes me 0.23, this time they rounded up to a quarter change, whereas they have been trying to keep my exact coin change and I stand in the drive through until they do things right. These times are strange ones…… Prop 15 ….

Not entirely unconnected, but since the beginning of this whole episode, I keep coming back to the question: What’s the connection between Epstein and Gates? I had an epiphany in April about Epstein’s role ( blackmail in exchange for celebrity endorsement) that my intuition is fairly certain of by now, but the possibilities are likely to extend beyond realm we’re privy to.
Tulsa, are you paying attention?! ◾◾◾◾ The future of smart cities is based on the integration of Internet and Communications Technology (ICT) as a backbone for all forms of communications. Whether it be person to person, application to application, or devices to devices, ICT plays an important role in maintaining the continuity of data and information being exchanged or harnessed by programs such as healthcare. As smart cities are being redefined by the concept of their liveability where urban spaces take into account the quality of its air, the sanitation of its environment, the sustainability of its structure, and the quality of life being experienced by its citizens, data-driven information is being harnessed more and more to enact policies towards the future of healthcare. Interoperability of Electronic Health Records As networks and devices are converging over a person’s set of records, new integrated services are being created to personalized healthcare. As cities are expanding their medical facilities and enacting new laws on privacy and user-consent, computational trust over a person’s healthcare records are made certain that the patient owns their records and would give permission to physicians, medical specialists, and medical aid groups to preside over their records in an emergency situation. EHR interoperability is also vital for the public healthcare space as hospitals that suffer from long waiting hours over a doctor’s clinic hours will be able to streamline their patient experience as public doctors will have more time in making diagnoses compared to the time spent on medical questioning presiding on each patient. By encapsulating patient records over the public hospital space for specialist collaborations, we are able to uplift the efficiency and quality of healthcare coverage of public hospitals.

I thought you might find this interesting – an article in a Dutch newspaper about a Dutch school where they are handing out coins (tokens?) to students if they wear a mask and sanitize their hands when they arrive, with which they can then buy school necessities in the school shop, or a sleep in card if they get enough coins. This helped me understand what you talk about with tokens.
Limiting food access / food sovereignty is a longstanding strategy of social control. I continue to say Gaza is the model for “smart city” open-air prisons and THAT model is based on what the US Government has done to Indigenous people. By removing them from their lands, they cut off Indigenous peoples’ access to independent food sources. Hydroponic greens in cargo containers – weaponized weather – printed CRISPR protein – this is all a legacy of colonial domination by financiers. That is what the Rockefeller food system transformation is about. People need to realize the past matters, because it is not even “past.” For really important insights into this read Nick Estes’ book “Our History Is The Future.”

Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
Attention Parents – Beware of Planned Parenthood and Social Emotional Learning Planned Parenthood gains access to students in MA schools in multiple ways, through their Comprehensive Sexuality Education curriculum taught in about 150 schools across the state, by partnering with organizations like Girls Inc. and Advocates for Youth who also push CSE curriculum, by recruiting students to become peer sex educators in the schools through their Get Real Teen Council program, and by offering training and classes for teachers, just to name a few. See the training they are offering to educators below. This webinar will help teachers learn how to incorporate Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into sex education classes. SEL is the vehicle being used to psychologically prepare your students to accept sexual orientation and transgender identity lessons by focusing on feelings as facts and doing away with the notion of objective truth, like believing that there is such a thing as male and female and that no one is born in the wrong body. SEL replaces parents and seeks to capture the heart and mind of your child. Parents don’t suspect a thing, because SEL teaches things like kindness, empathy, and compassion – all values that are important to all of us. But, SEL uses these shared values to manipulate children into rejecting what their parents have taught them about sex and gender. SEL teaches that kindness, empathy, and compassion requires consensus on issues of sex and gender. SEL promotes group think. Disagreement = hate. Is Planned Parenthood in your child’s district? Has your child’s health teacher ever attended a training by PP? Find out. Opt your child out of CSE classes. Use the sample Opt Out form found in the files section of this group.
And some replies to this post:
The SEL is running rampant on distance (virtual) “learning”. It takes up the first hour of the day. It even includes yoga for mindfulness. I may be the only one here to say this, but I’m not a big fan of the teachers calling the children “my friends” . To me it seems like they’re putting themselves at the same level as the children. When they should be at a level of mentorship.
my son is 10 and he has known from the first day of school that mommy and daddy are in charge the teachers work for us anybody says anything or does anything that goes against what mommy and daddy have taught you then you tell them you want to go to the principal and have your parents pick you up from school. Our son also knows that you don’t just blindly trust a doctor because mommy and daddy always know better we always have the last say never let a doctor or a nurse or anyone do anything to you without us being there without our permission. We have to stop allowing the school systems to try to overrule us and stop society from teaching children that just because someone have a paid for title somehow makes them a good moral honest person when we all know that that is not true.
What grades are they presenting this to?
it varies, but SEL lessons usually begin in elementary school. CSE usually starts in middle school.
SEL was a class for my 8th grade child in Haverhill MA. Was. I now homeschool
It is being incorporated into classes at all levels, elementary, middle, and high school. Some of the buzz words are “growth mindset,” “grit,” “non-cognitive skills,” “skill set,” “self-awareness,” “self-management,” “social awareness,” “empathy,” “appreciating diversity,” “communication,” “cooperation,” “responsible decision-making,” etc. On the surface it appears to teach things we can all agree on and in some cases that might be true, but the problem is in the application of these things. SEL psychologically prepares students to accept much of the indoctrination happening in public education. Also, it often incorporates Buddhist meditation, although it isn’t framed that way. SEL is difficult for parents to recognize, because after all what’s wrong with teaching empathy? The problem is like I said, how these things are being defined and applied. For instance, if you believe that a child who is struggling with their gender does not need to be affirmed in their confusion, but helped to accept the reality of their biological body then you are not empathetic and you don’t appreciate diversity. When it is included in CSE classes, “responsible decision making” is using contraception, not choosing to abstain. SEL replaces the parent and the church. Now educators are the moral instructors of our children. Very dangerous. I have written a brief document on it that can be found in files section of this group.
The University of Pittsburgh has jumped on the gender bender bandwagon:
My teen attended outdoor 3 hour training camp for the school district figure skating team. Outside and in August (heat, humidity) Team claimed to be REQUIRING masks. I asked about medical exemption. They told me EVERYBODY had to wear or mask or don’t come. I argued it and they wouldn’t budge. So I went to district Athletic Director and even after he said quite clearly that mask are NOT required in the district for sports, they were still pushing me on it. So bottom line was that I would have settled for an exemption for my 1 kid. But because they were being jerks, they wound up having to change the training event to masks are encouraged but not required. I told my kid that maybe she won’t be the only one without a mask now! So we show up and guess what? All the others STILL had a mask on!!! She was so nervous but so brave! They took a team picture where they were all spaced at least 6ft apart and my kid is the only one with a big smile on her face. The others all were covered up in their masks.

Portland NWEA MAP tests on hold after parent pushback “Last week, parents in Portland Public Schools received an update from district officials about the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) test which, on its face, is intended to give teachers a sense of student aptitude levels at the start of the school year. But by Monday, they’d reversed that decision, just as the planned assessments were set to begin. The back-and-forth began last week, when families were informed via email that testing would continue as planned. In a fun bonus for all the working parents out there, the district wrote that “many students, especially younger children, will need assistance from an adult in the home,” to complete the tests. (Note: administering the tests was expected to take at least two hours, and teachers would likely have had to break students into groups to administer the tests, thereby cutting into already reduced instructional time for all.) Then, on Monday morning, the district announced via email that all MAP tests were suspended for the fall, effective immediately.”

The United Nations October Surprise: A Trick Or A Treat? The UN has declared October as “their” month. As such, what does that actually mean? They are actively promoting October as LGBTQ+ History month. How does that affect you? Between the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) & education, this all infiltrates our lives in every aspect. Common Core Diva Lynne Taylor joins me for this episode of Rotten to the Core Wednesday on The Sons of Liberty to explain that this is not a treat, but a trick in usurping more power and control by the UN.
Federal Highway Administration (US Department of Transportation); the US Environmental Protection Agency; the Federal Transit Administration (DOT); the Rural Economic and Community Development Administration (US Department of Agriculture). All of these agencies were members of the President’s Council on Sustainable Development which ran from 1993-1999. Private funders included the Siemens Corporation; Henry M. Jackson Foundation; Annie E. Casey Foundation; and the American Planning Association. These private organizations promote smart growth. Siemens, for instance, benefits from the development of the ‘smart grid’ and is a key private for-profit corporation for solar, biomass, and other subsidized power generation. This huge multinational corporation is involved in health care, building systems, financing, communications, and more. Siemens is a German company that was nearly bankrupt until Hitler supplied free slave labor and money for technological development. Siemens USA has revenue of over $20 Billion. They also just appointed Michael Kruklinski Head of Siemens Real Estate for the Americas. In this role he’ll oversee all operations for Siemens Real Estate in the U.S. He also is on the NEW YORK CITY REGIONAL PLAN ASSOCIATION BOARD. http://www.usa.siemens.com/answers/en/

Career Impact Bonds – opening new markets in Income Sharing Agreements (to be securitized straight way). New Jersey is first out of the gate. Someone commenting on my blog post tipped me off. The great reset is all about reskilling human capital to build the global digital prison. That’s why Fatima can’t be a dancer anymore. Cyber-fascism for predatory impact investors. Will post about ALICE below. Lots of links between this program and the United Way Effort. “Career Impact Bonds (CIBs) are a distinct form of income share agreement, designed to upskill low-income and underserved learners and workers to achieve economic mobility, made possible by leveraging philanthropic, corporate, and for the first time, government funding. New Jersey will be the first state to launch and dedicate government resources toward a CIB Fund. CIBs pay for the cost of the training programs and wrap-around services on behalf of the student beneficiaries. Students then pay back the costs over time once they attain and maintain employment with a salary above a certain threshold. The repaid money is recycled to fund training for future students.”
Here’s what’s going on NY: We’re BROKE & the state will NEVER reopen schools if they can get away with it. MUST READ ————-> From Dr. John Metallo, Slingerlands, NY: (The author is a retired teacher and administrator. Among the positions he has held are principal of Albany High School and adjunct instructor at the University at Albany and SUNY Plattsburgh.) SCHOOLS FACING A CHALLENGE THAT FAR OUT DOES COVID 19 The biggest disaster in the history of education is about to destroy a number of school districts across New York State, many which serve the most disadvantaged children in the state. Schools in these districts are not going to open. They are going to implement “on-line home instruction” which,simply stated, amounts to no instruction for the majority of kids. The motivation for this move is especially troublesome. The schools are not being shuttered due to the Covid 19 panic. They are failing to open because they do not have enough money to support traditional instruction due to reductions in state aid made by the administration of Governor Andrew Cuomo. The most dangerous aspect of these draconian steps that are about to be taken are largely bring ignored by community leaders, school boards and the parents of students. The thought of not opening school buildings for financial reasons would have resulted in an uprising in any community 365 or even 180 days ago, now due to the corona conditioning to which we have all been exposed it is being accepted by many in a ho hum fashion. The truth is no public school in New York State is set up to deliver effective on-line instruction across all grades. In most cases it would be teachers emailing students work to complete on their own. The schools do not have the technology to conduct classes on line. Those who believe that are being duped. So if that is the plan it would be better to close the schools period. Further, opening schools at half capacity, social distancing etc can be done but at a huge cost because at least 2 sessions (shifts) per day would be necessary … including double bus runs… additional staffing and expenses would be cost prohibitive. Neither Governor Cuomo nor any other politician has a clue as to what it would take to “open” schools per the above scenarios. Of course PARENTS ALWAYS HAVE CHOICE KEEP KIDS HOME PRIVATE SCHOOL HOME TEACHING PRIVATE TUTORING So the choice is to fully open the schools or shutter them for the year and furlough or lay off staff. Not a good choice …. Open them up !
They are literally rolling out indentured servitude and almost no one is talking about it. The “future of work” is being narrowed to IT, healthcare and “green” energy. I’m sick. I don’t know how to relate to the vast majority of people anymore.
These people are insane. They are going to bet against student’s future salaries while the kids are still in school? Trading “revenue streams” on the market? This is the danger of blockchain. This is exactly what I have stressing about for quite some time. EVERYTHING that can be given a metric, can be tokenized and traded. EVERYTHING! Before you know it, your reputation will be on the market, your thoughts and emotions. Your walks to parks and stores will be tokenized. Your study or reading habits. Your showers and toilet use will be tokenized and on sale on the market. Even a person’s time in rehab or prison will be measured and tokenized and traded on. Blockchain is an idea that sounded good in the beginning, but is now a runaway train and it’s not even reached full steam. Anyway, this is the beginning of what I believe will become a very dystopian future.
WOW!! That is predictive journalism right there! They are telling you what is coming. Investing against your LIFETIME earnings for an education. 10 to 60 % of your earnings taken for life! That’s f***ing insane! So, that is very similar to what is above with Josh Lawler and his TISA proposal he’s pitching in that video. That has got to be STOPPED! That is predatory capitalism on the poor, who are desperate to survive. And don’t think this won’t fall on the parents as well. For LIFE! It’s sickening and has to be exposed.
And “wrap around services” in the program – not just “training.” The blockchain company store of social services. It is the most twisted thing imaginable.
Psychedelic business law for “visionary clients”? That’s from the actual law practice, not the Onion. Psychedelic business laws apparently have to do with patents. I guess Zuber Lawler knows how to get creative about slapping patents for their visionary clients onto certain botanicals that would ordinarily defy patent law because they occur freely and grow naturally. Everything is becoming a commodity that can be bundled up in derivatives on a blockchain system.
Sooo….in the spring of 2018 I wrote about Google putting sensors in a public park in Kirkland, Washington to track student “learning.” You know that “anytime, anywhere” learning ecosystem stuff? So now it looks like this same parks system is offering Covid “school” with regular public schools closed. Go figure, right?
I’m guessing this really has NOTHING TO DO WITH PUBLIC HEALTH.
For those who laughed off the idea of governments forming quarantine camps when we started voicing concern as early as last year when NY was making bills to this effect, we TOLD you so!
USPS files patent for secure blockchain voting system back in February. Now it might not happen if Trump has his way “A voting system can use the security of blockchain and the mail to provide a reliable voting system. A registered voter receives a computer-readable code in the mail and confirms identity and confirms correct ballot information in an election. The system separates voter identification and votes to ensure vote anonymity, and stores votes on a distributed ledger in a blockchain.”
I think the progressive / liberals want to believe all the privatization of education is coming from the right. Nope – look at crunchy Vermont going all in on the “flexible pathways” to graduation. Online education, work-based learning, 21st century skills. You don’t need a classroom for this. You don’t human teachers for this. The steps children take on their “pathways” will be tracked by xAPI as structured data to refine AI. So tell me what a great guy Bernie is again… CovidReset MyTeacherIsAnAlgorithm
“BREAKING: Durham is reopening public elementary schools as ‘learning centers.’ They are charging families up to $140 per child per week. That’s on top of what families already pay through property taxes.
Geez – looks like Nellie Mae scrubbed their grants database. Oh well. Lots of $$$ flowing into VT for “voice and choice” education – as long as it’s on your assigned “path.”

Reminds me of all the things I have read of past history of the Soviet Union – Can we say Surveillance? As colleges across America reopen for in-person learning this fall, some are asking students to report peers who might not be following guidelines that universities have set up to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
Is anyone active in athletics? For example, swimming is allowed at schools this fall. However, due to the drastic changes with COVID19, I am looking into swim clubs. I learned Owatonna’s swim club has been denied access to OMS pool, which they usually use, so they cannot have a season. Likewise, Atlantis in Faribault and Storm in Lakeville do not allow registration on their websites. My fear is they are shutting down the private swim clubs (denying access to public school pools for practice) so anyone who wants to swim 6-12th grade has to feed through the public school swim team.
And another post from this group:
“If the child tests positive, the school must contact the county, who will interview the children and family and contact tracing will begin.”
Anderson confirmed, “We have a dedicated secretary as a hub for all COVID related cases. We will have that person tracking every day and communicating with parents.” H/T Minnesota Citizen Lobbyist
my kid goes there…I wonder what would happen if you refuse to talk to the county
I’m a physician, you can choose to keep them home 14 days and not test as of now, you don’t have to talk to the county. Most pediatricians offices will not see/handle covid and return to school notes. The county is not medically authorized to write medical return notes.
My concern is that some schools may not give parents information until their kids are already attending.
bingo!
This is from a friend in North Dakota (I assume very similar to MN process). I haven’t read the entire “Contact Tracer Guide” yet, but OMG!!
So there’s a lengthy contact tracer document for the state here. Now I want to see what Minnesota has which may be a complete replica in every state.
Agree, likely the same (or worse) in MN. We are now “cases” not people. Our privacy is going out the window. We can be turned in to the State for non-compliance!! Just UNBELIEVABLE! How’d this happen in just 6 months?
Someone needs to tell Bill that people are not like software. You can’t beta test vaccines on real people like how he uses his customers as beta testers for his software. I’d be really happy if he could just vaccinate his software from all the viruses it catches. He should use his influence and wealth in things he might actually know a little bit about.
REMOTE LEARNING (IN SCHOOL) in New Hampshire Shared from my friend, [name redacted], NH education researcher and activist.
“BTW, this isn’t innovative, it’s intentional. As I’ve said, this is all part of the redesign in public education that was formulated by education reformers MANY years ago. They are using the current pandemic to move it forward. I suspect this will be challenged in court due to the NC Constitution. EXCERPT: …families will pay a $35 registration fee and a monthly weekly rate as follows: Regular rate: $140″
Didn’t you have a post last year before COVID showing about what a personalized learning style classroom would look like? This is nothing new, just an opportunity to advance what was the goal all along. Get all of the middle men such as the teacher and the text book out if the way and connect the child online to the government directly. With 100% online learning, no need to wait for new text books to be revised and updated with the latest socialist narrative and agenda, government can update the social studies/history/science/literature immediately! They can get their latest message/narrative out in all subject areas right away!!
Wow. They have figured out how to have parents pay twice for even less education.
Faribault just announced hybrid learning. So kids will need supervision a few days per week via daycare.
BTW, I think Durham is in North Carolina, not New Hampshire.
And yet another post from this group:
Yet another takeover in what was our schools! Excelsior Elementary has a very nice teacher giving an explanation of all the health requirement hoops. First, children must be socially distanced 6 feet apart. Parents: Please realize that your kids will be isolated all day. Teachers, in this case, will only be with students for 1/2 of the day and paras will apparently help with their online homework for the rest. (School is open but teachers are not teaching. The computers are now teaching.) Children will be masked. No one will know how your child is feeling or whether they understand the lesson. Pod groups are the mainstay. Small groups of children who will have online class together, eat together in the same room, and have recess together. Together but alone! The teacher explains, in comments, that the reason for pods is for the contact tracers and school appointed-tracers to keep an ever-close eye on each child.
Here is a post from talk show host Tara Gowen Fricano:
Had a thought…. With city schools systematically announcing the shift to remote learning because they can’t accommodate the ridiculous mandates from the state, do you think all the new taxpayer funded low income housing will be offered to parents who need to stay home due to this heinous mess? I’ve always wondered how they were going to imprison citizens in cities that weren’t already tied into the system… What are your thoughts??
And some replies to this post:
The govt will use all of this to formulate their idea of what Neighborhoods should be made of, who lives in them, and, how the system can control it all.
That’s AFFH
I completely agree! Dictator Cuomo rushed low income housing projects ALL OVER New York State over the last few years! MANY were abandoned SCHOOL buildings. We have a school building TRANSFORMED into housing here in our city and the apartments are even filled! Who would want to live in an old school building?! Oh, wait… Those that have been beaten down by our government 😦
what’s Affh?
That’s where they bring in low income families and move them into middle class neighborhoods. It was a big battle in Westchester County NY in 2013. The County exec fought it tooth and nail. It gets in by accepting grants. Other localities across the nation have seen the same. It’s for “equality” it’s funded thru HUD
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
KTSP: “Shadow Schools” to monitor student “education” via online computer learning
“Shadow Schools” are acceptable, but not actually attending school? Will teachers be hired? No need! Artificial intelligence and EdTech companies are now teaching your kids. Who are they and what is their agenda? School districts will train YMCA and LifetimeFitness counselors, who we’re sure are very nice but aren’t actually teachers. But this goes to show that with EdTech we really don’t need teachers anymore.
Remember the “Great Start for All Minnesota Children” bill introduced in 2019? MACC gave a tremendous group effort to thwart these plans. It included Child Care Assistance for families making up to 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Guideline. For a family of 4 that threshold is approximately $120,000. It included placing babies in schools because some in the legislature think that all parents are idiots, we guess. Additionally, the bill included weekly home visits which were mandatory at one point for all pregnant women up to the 3rd year of the child. Then they switched this bill making it all about “health equity”. Home visits for health. Authored in 2019. Before the Pandemic. The GSfAMC was the largest piece of legislation in many, many years. (28 pages or so)
Keep your eyes open at the next Special Session. By that time school will be in session and with all of these children in need of child care, keep your eyes out for the agenda.
A storm is on the way. Be ready!! H/T Minnesota Citizen Lobbyist
This was interesting too. Brings to mind so many questions and problematic senerios. “Maury County Mayor Andy Ogles said “NO!!!” to Gov. Bill Lee’s Big Brother-style child wellbeing program that plans to send government officials to families’ homes to do welfare checks of children. The Tennessee Department of Education says it released a toolkit on child wellbeing checks to ensure the needs of children are being met during and after extended periods away from school. It is promoted as protecting children.”
My “in” to unpacking the world of techno-fascism and human capital futures markets was through EDUCATION. My friends who know me beyond Facebook will remember that I was a teacher at a private liberal arts university here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was “reimagined” in April of 2019, and for the life of me, I couldn’t understand why the (then) top-100 research university with a $1.1 Billion endowment was (seemingly) suddenly doing an about-face to offer a sub-par 21st-century education to “first generation students.” TU was going to become a professional, practical school that would focus on healthcare, aeronautics (drones), and – my personal favorite! – cybersecurity because that was what future-workers expected of a university education. My first thought was, This sounds like a program straight out of the Cold War era! So I started to search for the buzzwords and jargon that permeated the university’s nefarious plan. Long story short, I was right. And I discovered that the same nefarious strategy is not only happening in every educational institution in Tulsa (creating the P20 pipeline), but it’s actually happening everywhere. EVERYWHERE. And it is for the purpose of turning children and young people into digital slaves. For billionaire investors. Who are NECROMANCERS to the core.
This 50min video clearly explains this very complex assault on children. It explains everything I’ve been trying to communicate about the HORRIFIC CRISIS that we are in right now.
If you are a PARENT who cares at all about your child’s future, please take 50 minutes to watch this expose’ of an oft-neglected form of CHILD SACRIFICE. I understand this system, and the film still chills!!

If you’re in Tulsa, I’m happy to help you understand how this works locally and who supports it. We have the SURVEILLANCE PLAYTABLES here, you know.
Here in UK they are doing more or less the same. They claim it’s not viable. Small towns and villages loosing their atm’s if I need the bank I have to catch a bus, which is every two hours, travel 8 miles. I refuse to bank on line or shop on line.
could it be because of the new currency reset? according to a few other articles this is going to happen around the world.
I haven’t seen removing ATMs in Illinois, USA, but did hear talks about a coin shortage (LOL, very funny, as dollar bills break apart easily and it’s rare to see any older than 15 years, yet I’ms till finding coins older than 50 years and I’m sure there are some out there, probably not so much in circulation, older than 60 years.) However, I did see a gas station, Speedway I think it was, have something at the counter about a coin shortage and suggesting that we might give the change to a charity or something.
So some friends and I were talking about how we noticed a trend of how Obama was talking about federalizing elections back in 2016 after the so-called Russia hacking stuff broke and also after we suffered a series of cyber attacks. He made some moves in that direction in 2017 right before leaving office. We’d also noticed our foes at the Council on Foreign Relations talking about putting the post office into the work of digital idenitty and all of that, and I’d wondered if that was some setup that would work on to not only track mail (supposedly to make things more efficient, but also to go after the people who might try and organize things against the powers that be by mail, given how they’re increasingly being snoopy online) and seeing how this social distancing crap is meant to also keep us apart, anyway, not only to do that, but possibly to have something to tie in with mail in voting and a possible move toward blockchain voting.
I’d just thought on that and we were wondering about it and we swear we hadn’t seen this article from two mere days ago talking about how the USPS had been setting something up LAST YEAR for blockchain VOTING, and that they just recently revealed it to public record. The article seems to mention that it likely won’t be in place by the 2020 election, but might in the future.
And that’s very interesting as if Trump wins, the Left will say it was Russia hacking or something, and if Biden wins (and likely steps down and lets Harris take over), then the Right will say it was voter fraud via mail-in-voting and corruption. Either way, they’ll use the fuel of half the country thinking the election was cheated to push us in the US toward blockchain voting for future elections. And if they can tie that into other blockchains, like Real ID or ID2020 and vaccine IDs, they might use it to lock people out of the voting system that won’t play along.
Here is a post from an anti-trans transitioning group:
Madison school district trains teachers to help a child of any age transition without parental knowledge or consent. Attorney Luke Berg discusses his case John Doe et al v. Madison Metropolitan School District.
This is terrifying. They are targeting the “gay-acting” kids for sterilization. That is literally what is happening. And it’s so horrible and so blatant that people have cognitive dissonance and can’t believe it’s really happening. Nobody’s sex is being changed, it’s being REMOVED.
Great interview! Every parent with kids in public school needs to see this interview. Problem is most parents don’t even know it’s an issue because the schools are so secretive about their transgender policy. And you don’t even know about this policy until it affects your child. Then once the school plants the seed by affirming the child as a different gender, pronoun and name, good luck finding any help to get your child back and reverse all the damage.
They really want the kids to just suck it up and code the virtual world so they can run their impact markets. Higher education is so complicit is this awfulness – horrifying. Teachers College Columbia saying that critical thinking isn’t really all that important.
Shutter the school – then open it as a day care center. And double charge parents their taxes PLUS day care fees. CRAZY ——->
‘Even though they are not offering in-person instruction, parents (and all taxpayers) are required to pay taxes to pay for district schools. As frustrating as that may be for parents, some districts—including Fairfax County, Virginia; Howard County, Maryland; Gilbert, Arizona; and Durham, North Carolina—have decided to open up classrooms to groups of children, basically providing day care.
The kicker? Parents must pay the public school to participate in these custodial programs.’
One of the worst CCSS Machine educratic undermining leaders, has passed. MSM is heralding him as a good guy. Sir Ken Robinson’s Pearson ties and alignment to Common Core, they have ignored.
Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
Story time. My son came home from school yesterday- he is a junior- with a story. He said he had a disagreement with a teacher. My son is a free- thinker and very opinionated. We have taught him well. Anyway, there was a particular class activity, a picture of a group of teenagers was shown, and the teacher asked the students what it was that was wrong with the image. My son said that he didn’t feel anything was wrong in the picture. He ended being pulled into the hall and told he needed to answer what was wrong. Any guesses what the picture was? The teenagers didn’t have masks on. THAT was what was wrong. My son said that there was nothing wrong with that and then gestured to the class with their masks and stated that that was the true problem. Indoctrination at it’s finest. I submitted our mask exemption for him that had been prepared by Defending Utah, but the district is not budging. I withdrew him from school today. I wanted to give the district the opportunity to do the right thing. They’ve failed.
And some replies to this post:
What school is this?
Polaris.
I’m not surprised. We had a problem with our school on Monday. We have pulled our son and he will be going to Private school. Anyone know when the deadline for the un-enrollment? I want to make sure they are not getting money for my child!
My wife subbed in a PE elementry class today teaching games on how to social distance. What is this world coming to?
The sad thing is the governor has the school by a string and he could cut them at any time. I think that is why schools are being so strict about the masks. I don’t agree with it but if we want our kids to go to school we have to follow these stupid mandates.
I agree it will be tough, as they will threaten to send kids home and inconvenience parents if we fight, but if we don’t fight, then they’ll keep adding stuff, playing off the fears of having the schools shut down if we don’t comply. What we NEED is an across the board rebellion both in schools and in the distance learning where we don’t play their game. It’s time parents and teachers got off the sidelines and stopped making excuses and stood up for the future of America. I agree it won’t be easy, will be an uphill battle, and will involve personal costs, but I DON’T see another way if we hope to be rid of Common Core, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, etc unless we stand up to these bullies.
Three kids and all of mine are free thinkers. They don’t fit in to school systems. Oldest took his GED and got out a year early because he said the pace and subject matter in HS were BS. He scored 99% on the GED. The second went to adult high school mid way through junior year and did packets and online, he hated the whole drama, drama, high school scene. My daughter chose an alternative high school after doing traditional homeschooling for 9th grade, Valley High and she did amazing. She also didn’t want the BS of traditional high school
mine all had their bachelor’s by 18 because I homeschooled them and they tested out. The public system is a waste of time. If you really want them well educated, you are best to do it yourself.
What class subject was this for? It sounds like propaganda 101. Not that people shouldn’t wear masks or choose to wear masks, but the required conclusion that they must wear masks is the issue. As it was once said, a picture is worth 1000 words but what a person sees in a picture can be a perception. This class is teaching someone to have a perception, not the ability to analyze. The bully-approach had to be used when the outcome was not arrived. This is the problem with ideologue propaganda teaching, there is no room for values, opinions, and discussion. One size fits all. Thank you for this posting. Sure raises the bar of ignorance and concern about this hearld garbage. We need to demand better out of the schools even if we don’t have our kids there. It is our nation that we are losing.
Every class period every single day my freshman’s teachers read off a list of covid symptoms. Every. Single. Day. This week.
unbelievable. Where is your student?
Skyridge high school. Alpine School District. I’m not sure if this is being done in elementary and jr high schools. My other students are homeschooled and not through Alpine SD.
We have had discussions with our daughter about the less than .1% risk of her age group having complications if she contracts covid. She’s not scared of it…yet. 🤦🏽♀️ But I do know one of her friends thought the death rate was 30%. Until her mother told her the real data. Terrorizing is right!
We are going through some similar stuff with my kid in Alpine school district too.
which school? Making any progress?
Lehi High, they still haven’t responded. I’ll be going in person Monday if they don’t do anything by tomorrow morning.
Please congratulate your son for me for standing up for his principles. It’s really tough today for kids. With all of the indoctrination in our schools the easy thing for them to do is just to go along. You should be very proud of him for not caving and being strong enough to stand up for his Constitutional rights and freedoms. He did a great job. And you did a great job raising that boy! We need more parents like you.
What are the school board members saying about masks in general? Are they someone we could reach out to on this?
no, they will be no help. Hundreds of parents made comments at their board meeting two meetings ago. So many parents expressed their desire to make this decision for their children. They said they’d consult with the health department. Then, parents were ignored. They claim they are interested in our opinions, just as the governor claims, but then they do as they please- all for the almighty federal dollar. There was one board member who was sympathetic, however.
the state or county health boards?
The school board voted to make is a choice, but Governor Herbert along with the health department made it mandatory. Many school board members are upset about it, but because its public school they “have to comply” that’s what our school superintendent said when I checked mine out of the school district to homeschool. Its sad
Wow. I pulled my 2nd and 6th graders last week here in GA. I saw day 2 in my 6th graders science class, the teacher was playing an animated video all about Covid and all the characters had masks on. That was the end for us.

Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
Mask disciplinary in our schools is bullshit! Tyranny!
1st refusal is a warning
2nd refusal is to Principals office
3rd refusal is put in a “quarantine” room and parent is called.
And some replies to this post:
I’m just going to throw this out there…. Kids could miss an entire year of school and they would be just fine. They would not get “behind.” If everyone pulled their children and did nothing but field trips and help their children find what they’re passionate about, the year would be a succes!
I could not agree more. My 16 year old son and his brother started a mobile interior car business during these last 5 months. They bought the equipment, advertised, made business cards. Learned what if takes to build a business, learned some awesome entrepreneurship skills and how capitalism works. There business is actually going quite well. Not to mention that he picked up more lawn mowing jobs and learned how to do the stock market. My kids actually all did really well without the 7 hours of school. Most of that time is wasted anyway.
I wish I could keep mine home… my husband doesn’t agree that pulling kids out of school is the best option. Our three kids are all on different school plans this year, so we’ll see who does the best. My 9th grader can’t miss school this year. She’d lose her spot and she is getting college credits. My jr. will be homeschooled..not online school, just homeschooled. My youngest is 3rd and she is going in everyday. We’ll see how it goes. I think I’ll be extra lenient with the “sick” days this year.
So I turned the exemption to the school. My child went to school for 2 days with no mask. The only one in the school not wearing one. On the 3rd day I got a call from the assistant principal. Who said they couldn’t find the exemption… but it was the wrong one..?? (How could he know if it was the wrong one if he hadn’t seen it?) Anyways….he then called me again and said that I needed to come pick up my child because my child refused to put on a mask or face sheild. (I was so proud) So I picked up my child. They had them stand outside of the school with “the proper” exemption form from the district. They said I needed to haveit filled out by a physician. I was told by a very reliable source that doctors had been instructed to only give exemptions to those with down syndrome or autism. So long story short….I have an appointment on Monday with the principal and the assistant principal. I will not stop fighting!! They do not have the right to do this!! I part time homeschool and could full time but this is about so much more than a mask!!it’s a violation of our parental rights. It violates the oath that they took to support support and defend the Constitution. Our tax payer dollars payed for their building and pay for their salaries. Enough is enough! I’ll keep you posted and let you know what happens after the appointment on Monday. I’m going to make sure and record the event. I’ll try my best to stay calm and not get so upset that I forget everything that I have to say to them. Pray for me. Pray for all of us. We can not comply!! It only takes good men to do nothing..right?? Well they had better hang onto their shorts!! Because I am not famous for doing nothing:)
A friend of mine sent me this:
Secretary DeVos Issues New Distance Learning Regulations to Spur High-Quality Distance and Competency-Based Programs, Better Serve Diverse Population of Higher Education Students
Emphasize demonstrated learning over seat time. Remove confusion over whether a course is eligible for Title IV aid by defining “regular and substantive” interaction between students and instructors. Clarify and simplify the requirements for direct assessment programs, including how to determine equivalent credit hours. Add a definition of “juvenile justice facility” to ensure that incarcerated students remain Pell eligible. Allow students enrolled in Title IV, Higher Education Act (HEA)-eligible foreign institutions to complete up to 25% of their programs at an eligible institution in the United States. This provision is particularly important for students temporarily unable to attend courses abroad due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Encourage employer participation in developing educational programs. Create a new, student-centric system for disbursing Title IV, HEA assistance to students in subscription-based programs. Require prompt action by the Department on applications to participate, or continue to participate, as an eligible institution in the HEA, Title IV program. In the past, these applications have been stalled for months or even years. Allow clock hour programs, which often lead to state licensed occupations, to utilize innovative learning models.

The CDC Introducing “emergency sleepovers” at schools.
I want out of this low budget pandemic horror film now.
I don’t trust the CDC. If something happens I’m coming to get my kids whatever it takes. You are not quarantining, medicating or vaccinating my kids and keeping them overnight at all.
Could this be the reason why remote education providers for K-12 do not want parents looking at their coursework? Your kids might be learning about the 4IR’s new token gig economy without your knowledge.
Thanks [name redacted] So a generation of children is about to transform, on Blockchain, as a raw material for the “impact economy”, a system that will work on predictive profiling and real-time ′”smart city” data aggregation. This is what is now being discussed in Davos under the flag of ′′ stakeholder capitalism “, neoliberal poverty management carried out as an extension of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Blockchain credentials promoters advertise their convenience and ability to aggregate demonstrations of skills acquired from a variety of sources. This, of course, is the necessary infrastructure to create ′′always and everywhere lifelong learning ecosystems”. It will also allow people to keep track of economic production compared to their ′′education′′ over time, opening the door to the widespread adoption of distribution agreements of income. Both are crucial elements needed to climb global human capital investment markets. If social impact funders get what they want, future generations will no longer have access to physical school buildings in their communities. It will be in the interest of the elites to suppress social discourse and free sharing of ideas among the masses as the Fourth Industrial Revolution begins to speed up. Instead, we will witness efforts to move to screen-based and wearable technologies that provide ′′personalized just-in-time′′ learning content via OER (open educational resources) The blockchain will be used to ′′verify′′ that individuals, now reduced to raw material for digital processing, have acquired the skills that chamber of commerce managers consider desirable to keep planned regional economies.
As people progress along the assigned paths ′′from cradle to career”, service providers and global investors will collect ′′impact′′ payments. Children and ′′lifelong students′′ are expected to be more great demonstrate ′′success”, jumping through the circles designated by government officials and investors who have established ′′pay for success′′ Offers. “Education′′ will turn into an exhausting playful exercise carried out in a world of augmented reality, of surveillance from which there is no escape.
Right now children are being introduced to a new school learning model that will never help them move forward in life. This new model will only lead them to a lifetime of debt and servants. In the early stages of life, how a child is perceived or how he behaves now will determine his future and how he will live for the rest of his life.
So a generation of children is about to transform, on Blockchain, as a raw material for the ′′impact economy”, a system that will work on predictive profiling and aggregation of ′′smart city′′ data in real time. This is what is now being discussed in Davos under the flag of ′′stakeholder capitalism”, neoliberal poverty management carried out as an extension of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Right now, children are being taught how to build their own brand.
Right now children are being transformed into slaves. And they are taught: that it is better to be slave than to be free.
And some replies to this post:
I’ve been aware of these math (stem) websites for yrs and why they use the stars and tokens for correct answers. The avg teacher and parent don’t have a damn clue and don’t care when you do inform them of the obvious purposes of these online ‘education’ websites set up as games. People just cannot see the damage its doing and going to do in the future. They get a glazed over look and that ‘you’re a crazy conspiracy anti’vaxxer’ idea when you attempt to educate them . it’s quite sad, and scary.
So sadly true and this is why, in the context of what is happening today, I’m hoping that people will now see and make the connection of what is really happening. I’ve been noticing this for over a decade and it’s had me alarmed, but not until this ushering in of the 4IR and the Great Reset did it all click together and become an imminent threat. Now is the time sound the alarm. Let’s just hope people start to have a clear understanding and act.
I am learning how all these surveillance systems work by reading their coding API libraries, their hardware and figuring out their vulnerabilities/weaknesses, and there are plenty!
Im not entirely sure whats being said? What we already have is a token economy… Modern money is a glorified token system. How to keep what is a simple tool for measuring value from taking over the planet.
This will all be tied to a blockchain system, coupled with a cashless society that will have a reward-punish system attached to it. If you don’t comply, you’ll be punished and not receive your “tokens”. Our current monetary system is not based on this model – yet.
How is it not already a reward punish system? Credit ratings etc?
you’re partially correct, but it is not implemented on a vast scale. The plan is to have every person on the planet tracked of their behaviors and actions and then impose a reward-punish scoring to it. A highly surveilled micro management system of all persons and resources.
[name redacted] is totally right about this building on existing credit rating systems. This is one of the figures in human capital investing – if you look at his background you can see how this goes – this is not a “China” thing, but very much a US finance/ tech thing.
War war war — the purveyors of the military state, the CIA, NSA, DoD, Cops, etc., they have Trumped Us All — What better game than war war war: ‘Fraught as all of that may be on future battlefields, replacing generals and admirals with robots is another matter altogether. Not only do legal and moral arguments arise with a vengeance, as the survival of major civilian populations could be put at risk by computer-derived combat decisions, but there’s no guarantee that American GIs would suffer fewer casualties in the battles that ensued. Maybe it’s time, then, for Congress to ask some tough questions about the advisability of automating combat decision-making before this country pours billions of additional taxpayer dollars into an enterprise that could, in fact, lead to the end of the world as we know it. Maybe it’s time as well for the leaders of China, Russia, and this country to limit or ban the deployment of hypersonic missiles and other weaponry that will compress life-and-death decisions for humanity into just a few minutes, thereby justifying the automation of such fateful judgments.” [..]
The goal is rather obvious – Terrify the population with poverty, internal conflicts and a broken supply chain until they lobby the establishment for help. Then, offer the “solution” of medical tyranny, immunity passports, martial law, a global economic system based on a cashless digital society in which privacy in trade is erased, and then slowly but surely form a faceless “multilateral” global government which answers to no one and does whatever it pleases. I remember back in 2014 when Christine Lagarde first began talking about the reset. That same year she also made a very strange speech to the National Press Club in which she started rambling gleefully about numerology and the “magic number 7”. Many within the club laughed, as there was apparently an inside joke that the rest of us were not privy to. Well, I would point out that the World Economic Forum meeting on the global reset in 2021 will be held exactly 7 years after Lagarde gave that speech. Just another interesting coincidence I suppose.
Some of these I recognize as visual aides for people with autism.
Yes, true that some are from autism education. But much of what is learned here is extended to other early childhood learning. There has been debate and suspicion that autistic children are targeted and exploited for behavioral studies and often funded by philanthropic institutes that at face value look like they mean well, but do they? Is there another agenda? Are they studying and determining ways to control any person’s behavior? If so, how? Here is from one site: “How do you collect data in the classroom and track behaviors? Read more on collecting behavior data in special ed or Autism classrooms and make your BIPs amazing! Includes tips and ideas on ABC data, frequency data, duration data, and more!”
That’s from aba therapy – applied behavioral analysis. They pride themselves on observing behavior, recording data, and making recommendations based on the data. For example – they might notice that the child has a meltdown after announcements on the p.a. because they are sensitive to sound. It’s an approach that can be severely misused – but when the child has limited language to explain – it can be helpful. I don’t think its bad in and of itself – its its the application that is good or bad.
I see no place for artists, entertainers, creativity, spontaneity t any of the greatest joys in life in the cold and heartless technocratic system. I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN THAT WORLD AND BE ENSLAVED!
And another post from him:
AI in education. What could go wrong? “A significant aspect of the social life of AIed is the controversies emerging over automated decision-making and judgment by opaque systems. In summer 2020 this became especially apparent in relation to predictive grading. The first case was the predictive grading system used by the International Baccalaureate Organization to replace exams during Covid-19 school closures. Rather than basing grades on exam scores, the IBO employed an algorithmic grading and awarding model based on student coursework, teacher-delivered predicted grades and historical prediction data. The system, many have argued, is unfair and potentially discriminatory, with more than 20,000 students signing a petition protesting the algorithm. The Norwegian Data Protection Authority has since ordered the IBO to provide further detail on the model as part of an investigation into whether it violated the European General Data Protection Regulation.
The use of statistical modelling and historical performance data to predict and award grades in the four UK nations, and the inequalities of outcomes that resulted from this standardization process, fueled further public, legal and media backlash over the use of predictive algorithms in education. At one protest in London, affected students began chanting ‘fuck the algorithm‘, a phrase quickly taken up on social media. It resulted in eventual political capitulation, the abandonment of algorithmic awarding models, and the reinstatement of teacher assessed grades. One UK Conservative politician later lamented that the scandal was the result of ‘technocratic governance and government by computer’ that failed to recognize ‘that the decisions that are made affect the lives of thousands of people individually’. Although exam grade prediction, moderation and standardization is certainly not unique to these events, the widespread outrage at the outcomes in this case meant governmental trust in numbers in the four education systems of the UK was not able to withstand public calls for returning trust in teachers and legal demands for fair outcomes for students.”
Testing the AI system.. at the expense of real human lives. Many of my friends children were subjected to this 😢. Now our NHS has gone digital, NHSx, no A&E walk in’s allowed from November .. our health care system is now telemedicine/telehealth. Yet most people here still think it’s about COVID..
Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
A school board member is asking if there are any reports of students passing out or getting dizzy at school. If you have incident to report you can MESSAGE HER as indicated in her post TO MAKE AN OFFICIAL REPORT.
And the post quoted:
Parents, I need your help again. If your child has passed out at school or gotten dizzy due to dehydration or their mask, please message me. I am hearing reports of this and it really needs to be documented.
And here are the replies to this post:
And I have realized that when I wear the mask for over one hour, I actually get itchy all over my torso. It lasts about two weeks. I’ve never had it before, didn’t change anything about diet or cleaning products, and each time this began when mask was on over an hour (different material masks, so not chemicals from that), and lasted two weeks. So add itching to the list.
I saw a woman nearly pass out in a mask today at the dentist’s office. She had to take it off to breathe. 😦
Escalante High school has had three just today. The school doesn’t have air conditioning and then there’s the masks. Even teachers are getting sick.
Multiple kids a day throwing up, headaches, dizziness, anxiety you name it. It is all happening and absolutley ridiculous!
Hypoxia causes increased anxiety because when the brain doesn’t get the oxygen that it needs, it freaks out.
I get lightheaded and my heart rate increases within a few minutes of wearing a mask in warm temperatures. I’ve tried several different fabrics/designs. I withdrew my kids from their gifted magnet school because mask wearing for 7 hours is an unacceptable condition for children. In stores, I go into empty aisles to slip my mask down to breathe.
Headaches for my kids
Migraines for my kids. 😦
One my child’s teacher had to leave the classroom yesterday because she got an anxiety attack from the mask. She had to leave the classroom to take her mask off and breath/calm down.
I almost passed out, twice, at my obgyn’s office.
From a friend who is on administrative paid leave in Nebo School District for refusing to wear a mask while teaching, is reporting that Utah Valley Hispital was filled with kids yesterday (Tuesday )with respiratory problems from wearing masks at school.
My 9th grader gets light headed just about every day and he’s only at school a couple hours in a mask
Mine keeps coming home with head aches. She sleeps right after she comes home and says it’s hard to hear what is being taught. She loves the teachers and thrives in that environment but it’s hard to see her come home physically worse than a construction worker in heat
yep headaches and fatigue are sign of hypotoxia and wearing masks too long. She needs a medical exemption.
I heard they won’t give those anymore. We are in Tooele so we only have to wear them in class. Which isn’t good but I told her to get up and walk out to get some air. If they have a issue I will go all momma bear on their butts
my daughter has said that the last two days as well. My other daughter hasn’t complained about headaches but comes home and sleeps (both of my kids are).
my daughter went in for kindergarten testing yesterday and scored very low. I was surprised (she does know her alphabet) so when I asked her teacher about it she said well it was kind of hard to hear. Well no duh you covered up her face. Hello!
yes we have kids in school with speech struggles and it was already hard to understand and masks are making it so hard!!!! I feel bad asking them over and over again what they said but also want them to know they are heard
that’s one of the reasons why I pulled my child out. When I have to ask her a few times what she just said, she tells me “nothing don’t worry about it.” 😭 I don’t want that happening at school.
I am hearing impaired so my daughter knows how I can’t understand people with masks on and will tell waitresses “my mom is deaf she can’t understand you with the mask on”. The other day she told her kindergarten teacher (teachers wear masks kids don’t) “I can’t understand you. Please take your mask off”.
Yes, my 9 year old daughter came home school with a major migraine (she’s never had one before) she couldn’t even form a complete sentence. She was scared and disoriented. I felt so helpless. This is not how her back to school experience should be….
3rd grade- headache everyday, can raise her hand and point to her mask and she’s allowed to go to the corner and remove her mask 🙄 6th grade- wears his mask under his chin, behind his ears are sore. 8th grade- no mask breaks, mask police all over the school, headache everyday, no lunch during school because there’s too many kids in school and it’s too hard to be safe and feed the kids, ears are raw, chin is all broke out, light headed and dizzy when he had to go up the stairs for class. All my kids come home so tired and ornery.
Wth? No lunch at all? How can the school do that?
lunch is provided at 1:30-1:45 if they choose to stay.. otherwise school gets out at 1:30. They said that teachers will allow the students to snack during class… but most of them do not because they don’t want the mess.
My senior told me tonight when I asked him about it that at the end of the day he starts feeling lightheaded. Their school is from 8 to 3:30. My 10th grader said that they ran a mile outside for PE , then went inside to get a drink of water but had to mask up. He felt that he needed to breathe.
My son passed out at school this morning he got dizzy passed out and when he fell he hit is head really hard he doesn’t remember anything after he passed out just that he woke up in a chair
Our 17 yr old has had incident with dizziness. She mostly complains about headaches. Once the mask is off she’s fine. We’ve tried 5 different types of masks for her also. We found one she likes but still struggles with it… just struggles less I guess.
My 6th grader has had 4 bad headaches, two that were migraines causing him to throw up, since school started. My first grader came out from school crying today from a bad headache. She has been fine until today. We had to switch from a clear plastic mouth shield to a full face shield so I am assuming that the full shield is the culprit. My fifth grader seems to be the least affected. She has had mild headaches on the days she wore a cloth mask but has fared ok when wearing the mouth shield.
my 6th grader has had the same problem! I sent him yesterday with the clear plastic mouth/nose shield and he was feeling fine until one of his teacher made him put a mask on. I got a call and he barely made it to the bathroom and puked in the mask. 😔
my 10yr old got in the car after his first day and sobbed! They made him wear his mask outside during recess in the heat! He told the aide he was dizzy, and sick to his stomach. He was told they’d take his temperature later, but never did. They were put in zones separately. No playing together. So, I don’t see why the masks are mandated there. He tried to tell his teacher later in class because by then his head was hurting too, but she said he needed to stay in his seat. He was so excited to go back and see everyone, but in the way home amidst sobs begged me “please don’t make me go back!” This is seriously insane! If I covered my child’s nose and mouth restricting their breathing for 8hrs a day, isolated them, and psychologically messed with their heads by telling them to stay away from people that they were dangerous and could kill people I would have CPS CALLED ON ME! We need to turn the GOVERNOR IN FOR CHILD ABUSE!
I work in a school and wear a mask for that period of time. I am also a crossing guard. While crossing outside for an hour and a half, I am required to wear a mask. We run sometimes. After the first half hour, I develop a headache. An hour, my focus is shot. Its really difficult to pay attention. By the time I’m done, I go home feeling exhausted with a headache. I’m afraid with the focus problems, I may misstep and it could be serious for the kids.
WE can thank Dirk Burton. Dirk is fine with the closed playgrounds they had all over the city back in March. Dirk is aligning himself with the county mayor, wilson.
First day for my kids. My 15 yr old said he only had a headache for half the day, and his throat feels raw. They only had lunch time to have a break from the mask. Something needs to change. Kids are not getting sick, no masks needed, or let them wear a shield!
My 12 year old in middle school has complained every day of being dizzy, having headaches, and feeling nauseous due to her mask. This isnt healthy
My 6th grader who has asthma came home today with a headache and said he felt dizzy his 5th hour class. When I asked him how come he didn’t call me he said he was afraid to ask because all the teachers just get mad at the kids all day long. I hope this can be stopped. I hate that they have to wear these things
My 6th grader is getting headaches from the mask. He was rubbing his temples in class and the teacher told him to go call home. Instead he locked himself in a bathroom stall and took his mask off so he could breathe. After about 10 minutes his headache went mostly away and he returned to class. This breaks my heart. My 2nd grader has a rash all over his chin from the mask and on the back of his neck from the lanyard they have him wear to hold the mask when he takes it off. This is not healthy. Thank you for listening and caring and standing up for what is right.
My 7th grader has gotten headaches and very lightheaded while wearing the masks. My 5th and 2nd grader has cone home with headaches as well. Kinder started today for us so I’m not sure what they will feel like. I can only imagine how scary it must be for them and top it off with not being able to breathe it’s a downright nightmare.
My son has not passed out, or gotten dizzy. His eyes are getting swollen,red, and irritated from his breath being forced upward into his eyes. He can’t even barely open his eyes up after school. When he gets home we take a cool wash cloth to them and after a few hours they start to clear up ……. until the next day.
It’s disgusting what schools are doing to children. Please end the mask mandate!!! This was in one of the groups I follow posted by the father. [name redacted by me] Excitement to tears. Meet my son [name redacted by me]. He has been diagnosed Autistic and also has a genetic condition. He has sensory issues and doesn’t like people/things to touch his face. He was refused entry on his school bus because he couldn’t wear an ear loop mask (he pulls his shirt over his face in areas a mask is required, it’s pretty cute.) After militantly stating the Governor’s order (I’m sure the assistant was just doing what she was told). We said we would drive him to school. When loading him in the car he said “I don’t want to go to school any more”. Totally breaks my heart. Governor Herbert, teacher’s union, Davis School district … remind me the science behind cloth masks? I’m in health care and it’s obvious to me we are acting out of fear rather than science. And giving up so much freedom in the process.
My 7 year old wanders around the field by herself each recess, because she was told if she is alone she won’t have to wear the mask. Walking alone is the only time she has to take a break from the mask so she has yet to make any new friends. She says it’s hard to breathe and hear what anyone is saying, so she is better off alone.
My daughter told me that she started getting a headache about halfway threw school today. It was our first day of school. Got home from school and told me she wanted to go to bed before having to go to work. This needs to end before all our kids and up in the hospital or worse
My child is IEP eligible and is in preschool. He has a speech delay and they are saying in order for me to have him made exempt from wearing a mask I have to hold another IEP meeting when they already know that he is there for speech therapy and he doesn’t understand why he has to wear it. And it doesn’t make sense for a child who has a communication problem to wear a mask. Thank you for addressing these concerns.
Mine came home today (third day in school) and said that he just randomly got a bloody nose while sitting at his desk. He felt something and looked in his mask and the inside of his mask had blood in it. My daughter says that the masks give her a terrible headache, but within 10 mins of having it off, she says that goes away too.
My 14 year old son is getting stuffy noses and can’t breathe. Once he takes it off after school, it goes away. He says that the teachers are constantly on any kid who has one below the top of the nose and if he takes a second to pull it down to breathe… the teachers will say something. Way to cause anxiety in children. Good job Gary! My second grader and nurse/office staff called from the school office today to tell me he had a sore throat but it was a dry throat from not being able to breathe and getting dehydrated. He asked me to let him come home because the teachers won’t let him pull down the mask to breathe. Sick of this. This is after my kids begged me to let them go and were excited. It’s been one week. My two of three are now asking to homeschool. They are just so bothered by the mask and have lost that excitement for school not to mention that they can’t really socialize very well, at least that’s what my middle schooler says. We went into this with the very best attitude and were hoping for the best. I want them in school so they can have a life away from home. This is abuse.
My 9 year old daughter complains of a headache almost everyday when she gets home from school, my 6 year old hasnt made as many complaints but says sometimes it’s so hot that he starts getting dizzy.
12th, 9th, and 7th graders are getting headaches and nausea at school. 9th grader is deaf in one ear and can’t understand a thing anyone says because of the masks.
My asthmatic son had to use his inhaler 2 times yesterday cause he couldn’t breath with his mask on. Not to mention it made him super grouchy ( not sure if it was a headache or just the lack of oxygen
the first 9 days of school for my 7 year old went really well considering masks on in the school. the school has made mandatory mask breaks through out the day and also have no masks on at recess or lunch time unless they want to use them outside. during lunch they have to wear masks in line to get the food but get to take them off to eat and go outside to play. as for hydration her school also made a new rule about water bottles so the kids n teachers have their own water to drink when the want or need to. daughter came home the first day and second with headaches and really tired its wasnt all about the mask it was also because she wasnt used to being in school and having fun with friends also we live in a spot where its 100 pluse everyday still and that always will play a huge part if being tired and thirsty and hot! I personally dont like or agree masks on kids all the time in school or other wise but I know it may help the spread of the virus slow down a bit. I want my daughter to be in school and have a normal childhood as much as possible and wearing a mask todo so well anything to let her have some normal! I just hate masks!
My tenth grader feels dizzy and lightheaded after wearing a mask and he only attends two classes at the high school!
Yes all four of my school aged children have been coming home with major headaches. Two of them lightheaded.
I’m in Colorado, so I don’t know if that means you can’t use my story, but my oldest has an IEP. I think some parents pointed out that the state has to provide services to kids with IEPs because they are the only kids in school in our district. But I talked with her teacher before school started because my daughter has anxiety and is on the autism spectrum (with other developmental delays). Her teacher said she didn’t think kids with special needs would tolerate masks, and not to worry. Then on the second day of school, she came home with a mask. Because she wore it most of the day, they want to put it in her IEP as a life skill. They are ignoring her disabilities and American Disability Act, AND she has a doctor’s note giving her an exemption, but they’re disregarding that, too. I have never had any troubles with the district or any of the teachers, but they are pushing me to the breaking point. They also won’t let the other kids go to school and e-learning for a boy with ADHD doesn’t work, and neither does online Kindergarten. 😡
My sixteen year old is coming home with headaches. Once he comes home, he passes out in his room and sleeps for long periods of time.
My two school age daughters (7th and 12th grade) have started getting bloody noses every night. This started after the first week of school
My daughter had a headache every day by second period. She is in 8th grade.
I’m a para and get a headache every day and can’t breath in the stupid masks! This mask crap needs to go away.
The bus is also an issue. They are cramming a whole bunch of kids on a hot bus with sub par air conditioning and won’t let them even take their masks off for a moment. We live out by the Arizona border and so our kids are on that bus for about 50 min before they reach home. My kids get hot an anxious and feel like they can’t breath but get yelled at by the bus driver if they pull down their masks even for a moment.
I have a child home today because she has been complaining about being light headed at school. Today is day #7 of school. I’ve had one child miss 4 days, another miss 2 days and another miss 1 day- because of the masks. ______–
My 7 year old started school about a week and a half ago. She goes to a charter school in person. She comes home every day with a headache and dehydrated. She almost passed out at school. She HATES masks. She also has anxiety and it makes it so much worse. She said it’s hard to breathe in them. She tries to pull the mask down below her nose sometimes to breathe better but she’s been threatened a few times for doing so. She’s nearly in tears every single day. She broke down crying this morning and had an anxiety attack saying she can’t go. I let her stay home today. I’m going to have her do school at home. We tried in person because she normally loves school and does better in person. She says she hates school now. 😥 My son is 4 and starts preschool next month. He’s on an IEP and also has sensory processing issues. He can’t stand things touching his face. His preschool told me several times even though he’s on an IEP he has to still get a medical exemption. His doctor won’t sign an exemption for him. He definitely needs to go to school in person. He’s also in speech therapy. They just don’t care though! This is making me sick 😡
My 19 and 16 year old girls have become more tired and irritable from wearing the masks for work. I worry how it will affect my 16 year old when she’s in school all day.
Here is a post from a California group:
Any parents whose children are doing online education through Chico Unified or any other school district I urge you all to monitor their Zoom classes! During my High School freshman’s biology class this morning the teacher was introducing the scientific method. The teacher had them watch a video which depicted the use of face masks in preventing laboratory induced “smoke coughs”. The video stated that masks are to be used by the public to protect those around us, and that those who do not wear masks are irresponsible! There was no context or further information provided about particle size differences (smoke/saliva vs. Virus), particle size filtration for different face masks, health risks associated with face mask use, long-standing medical practices for face masks in healthy populations, Etc. THIS WAS NOTHING BUT BLATANT PROPAGANDA AND INDOCTRINATION! Whatever your stance or political beliefs on mask use is this type of propaganda should not be taught in our children’s school! I’ve already contacted the school and the district and of course I’m now concerned about what other information they will be trying to teach my child that has nothing to do with the subjects she is enrolled in. This is what our schools are now and parents need to be aware.
And some replies to this post:
My friend’s daughter, in middle school, was told that eating meat will cause cancer. Veganism was pushed in PE.
this happened in my nieces cheer team in high school from the coaches. I was outraged by it to be honest. Teach nutrition not what you like to eat. Goodness
If teachers don’t stand up to the blatant indoctrination and propaganda proscribed by their schools & unions, then I see no reason to stand up for the teachers. It takes COURAGE to buck the system. I have an education degree myself and worked in the field of museum ed for 22 years, writing curriculum, training docents, teachers and worked with thousands of children from K-college. As in any field, there are outstanding teachers and less than stellar teachers (that’s being kind). I met both types. But as parents and grandparents we have a responsibility to insure that the children are receiving a quality education based on TRUTH, not a political agenda. I very much appreciate the work of this group. Keep it up and spread the word.
I do agree with this. There was an incident in town today with middle school students getting a lesson on tolerance and George Floyd was the theme and the teacher started bashing the police. If my children get a lesson like this and police are bashed, that is going to be an issue because their grandfather is a retired officer and I know my kids, they will stand up for their beliefs.
Here is a post from Shannon Joy:
Brighton, NY.
This principal is not only coercing CHILDREN to embrace a specific political agenda, he is also enriching a privately owned company with sales of gear and paraphernalia.
I wonder if he’s being paid a commission?
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
CHILDCARE REQUIREMENTS CHANGE DAY TO DAY Minnesota is now sending out surveys to childcare providers asking them to care for children whose parents are hospitalized with COVID. What’s next? Caring for children exposed to Covid? In June, childcare providers were told to continue working and especially for kids of “essential workers”. This was in the form of a “decision tree” based on children’s symptoms. In August, another update was required of providers, the covid preparedness plan and Make-A-Plan Minnesota. And now? Providers are encouraged to care for children who have been exposed to Covid and whose parents have been hospitalized! This action is reminiscent of the long-term care facilities taking on positive cases. Do you recall Make-A-Plan Minnesota where parents gave up personal information about their children – their favorite foods, toys, stuffed animal as well as information about parents’ Last Will and Testament? Now the MN DHS states the opposite. “Unfortunately, this virus doesn’t provide families time to make plans including for the care of their children.” Note the reasons for alternative plans may include a family without other plans but also parents who’ve been hospitalized and children who’ve been exposed. Each day, this entire event is more and more dystopian.
Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
A quiz my daughter took today. 9th grade, Skyridge High School, Alpine SD. (The same school who’s teachers are required to read a list of covid symptoms every day, every period). She sent me her response. What are your thoughts and what action against the school would you take? Curious if you think this is overstepping their boundaries as educators or if this is a lost cause. Tia.
Here are the repleis to this post:
Pure Indoctrination and forced surveillance of a child’s willingness to comply to the State. [name redacted] Do you know where this survey system is coming from? Is it crossing the line of legality because it’s a survey?
surveillance…I hadn’t thought of that but yes makes sense they would ask them why. 🙄
Some types of surveys are illegal under Utah law. The people I’ve tagged should know if this crosses that legal line.
Is it any different than the “educational” video and quiz you have to go through to obtain a vaccine exemption for your kids? They’ve been getting away with garbage like this for years. No one has ever stopped them before from trampling on our parental or medical rights.
This isn’t education, this is indoctrination. This is a new trendy attemp to guilt the kids out of normalcy. If this virus were killing people like we were told it was supposed to, we wouldn’t need anyone to tell us to wear a mask or avoid people or stay home. This is abusive overreach and over-reaction from people the students are supposed to trust & respect. These kids don’t deserve this garbage.
The overwhelming reason there is such a huge push on this is to create a hype and scare to encourage more testing. “EACH” positive test in Utah takes in $94,000 in federal aid (taxpayer money). Some people that test positive are tested multiple times. Very few are hospitalized, but the majority are sent home. The only service they received was a swab in the nose. West Virginia alone bags $471,000 in federal aid for each test. And you wonder why they encourage lock downs and more testing. This is very disturbing folks.
Honestly, schools are always indoctrinating our kids. I’ve been through it on other topics with my kids teachers. They will get defensive and then back peddle to make it sound like my student just didn’t understand the assignment. While I hate this.. loathe it.. it happens every year.
And another post from this group:
I am livid…. I don’t know where else to post this, felt this was a good spot. First week of online school (through a Charter) and everything is going…well we will say “ok”… Then today they are doing an art project to draw a self portrait… with a face mask!! – WHY is this OKAY!? I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do…. conditioning our children even through an online platform? They don’t have to wear the mask while drawing it, but they have to draw the mask on their face!?
And some replies to this post:
Good time to have a discussion with your kids about propaganda and how to recognize it and have critical thinking skills. We all need to be teaching this to our kids in our homes. The school platform is turning them into sheep who can’t think for themselves.
My second grader is in person and they made “mask books” the first week.😡 Now let me clarify, there is absolutely NO way I could get through to this kid doing homeschool, so yes he is in person, but definitely has his opinion on masks.
I had him draw a self portrait with NO mask… I’m trying to figure out how to word an email to the teacher because it is ridiculous!!
So this was my final draft and sent email to the teacher… we shall see if anything comes of it!! Hi xxx, Can you kindly help me understand why the art project is for the students to be drawing themselves with face masks on? Self portraits are great, but they are just that, a self portrait. Their faces do not come with masks. XXX drew his self portrait as it should be done. We will not allow for conditioning and political indoctrination. Sadly, 6 months ago this would not have been a discussion or an assignment that would have been a thought in anyone’s mind. We need to keep life as normal as humanly possible, not the “new” normal, but normal. Things like this should not affect what is taught to our children in school. History is still history and self portraits should still be self portraits. Thank you,
I’ve been disappointed in the online learning for my kindergartener. We get done with their garbage if I even let him do it then I do practice writing, reading, phonics, spelling and math. Some days we even do science or geology. My kid loves rocks. I feel as if they are dumbing him down. I’m ready to pull him too
My kindergartener first assignment through the charter school was decorate & color the paper mask. I didn’t jet him do it or any of the other crap on germs, etc. this is out of control. I’ll give it a month but I’m already doing my own curriculum and in a month, if it’s not better, I’m pulling him out.
When someone (a teacher) has proven that they are willing to indoctrinate your child, why would a parent trust that person ever again? No amount of emailing or discussions will change the fact that that person is willing to indoctrinate your child…and that they will do it again. Be brave parents. Walk away from the broken system and let’s build our own family systems. Drawing self portraits can happen at home…so can every other subject.
Exactly 100% spot on. I have watched this for nearly 3 decades now. Something happens at the schools, the parents complain and gripe, and the schools do whatever they want because the parents will not leave. Ultimately you have zero leverage unless you were willing to leave the system. People have become so dependent on someone else to educate their children, that they simply refuse to take back responsibility. And the unions and the administrators all know it.
I’ll play devil’s advocate for a moment. Is it possible that the teacher was trying to come up with a way to help the students feel more comfortable adjusting to wearing a mask in school? I can’t speak for all teachers, but most have good intentions. Wearing a mask is awful, and I don’t like doing it all day. If I could, I would teach without it. I understand your concern though. But just know that us teachers really do care about your kids, and we’re trying to do the best we know how to do.
it is possible. However we are an all online group of kids. Not to mention I don’t feel it’s the teachers place to do a bunch of “masks” projects. Especially on a self portrait. Then you have the other individual who’s 9th grader had a test on masks. It all just feels to outta place. We shouldn’t be in this predicament in the first place. 6 months ago a self portrait would have been just that
Maybe the teachers shouldn’t normalize this either. Maybe the teachers should teach the students the fundamentals of the subject they specialize in. Maybe the teachers should say NO this is not teaching. This is “masking “ these children’s individuality, their personality. Maybe the teachers who say they love the kids they teach should stand up for their students right to breathe clear and free. Teachers are people in power, use it.
That’s the dumbest damn thing I have ever heard, this is the second art project I have seen posted today which includes a mask.. the other one was for little kids, to cut the mask out and paste on a picture… I would turn one in without the mask..
And yet another post from this group:
Can anyone tell me about Raz kids? I’m concerned that my child may be reading inappropriate materials. Anyone have experience with it?
And some replies to this post:
Honestly, some of the books my kid brought home we would not read, because I didn’t think it was appropriate, others my kids refused to read and then some my kids actually enjoyed reading.
My daughters both used raz kids for online schooling end of last year, but I wasn’t aware of inappropriate materials. Now I’m curious… what specifically did you discover about it?
I have heard of there being BLM-ish material. I’m just wondering if it’s a fact
In the past there has not been. There might be this year. I recall a book about President Obama once. I read it because I wanted to know what they were teaching. It was fine fairly neutral. Overall they are good but I would keep watch and scan books that seem biased.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Google is getting into the health insurance business: meet Coefficient Insurance Company. Combine this with Google’s bid to acquire Fitbit and get access to vast amount of health data, and Google’s access to health related search queries, and you get the full picture: insurance premium to be decided & defined by Google.
“U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services wants to greatly expand its processing of our personal information, in the name of containing COVID-19, but without showing actual benefit to public health. EFF opposes this data grab.”
“All over the Western world ever since 9/11 there have been incremental steps towards what many liberty advocates would call a “police state”; a system in which governments are no longer restricted by the boundaries of civil liberties and are given the power to do just about anything they want in the name of public safety. The use of “the law” as a tool for injecting tyranny into a culture is the first tactic of all totalitarians.
The idea is that by simply writing government criminality into the law books, that criminality somehow becomes justified by virtue of legal recognition. It’s all very circular. Whenever government abuse of the people is initiated, it’s always initiated in the name of what’s “best for society as a whole”. To save society, the individuals that make up a society must be sublimated or destroyed. This mentality is the complete opposite of what the Founding Fathers in America fought and died for, but as Thomas Jefferson once said:
“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.”
In countries like Australia, which claim to value Western democratic principles of liberty and rule by the people, the perception is that civil rights are codified into the legal framework just as they are in the US. However, there are some glaring differences and issues; specifically, Australian citizens (like many European citizens) have absolutely no means to compel their government or the elites that influence their government to limit themselves. It is these nations, in which the populations have been mostly disarmed and pacified, that any agenda for tyranny will first be established. But we will get to that in a moment…
Make no mistake, there is a very OPEN and easily identifiable agenda on the part of globalists to establish a heavily centralized police state system in every country they are able. This is not “conspiracy theory”, this is conspiracy fact.
For many years now there have been numerous analysts, economists and geopolitical experts in the alternative media that have predicted and warned the public about the globalist strategy of “order out of chaos”. In other words, the ultra-wealthy power brokers that hold influence over most governments on Earth seek to “reshape” the existing social order through the creation of crisis and disaster. By engineering public desperation, they hope to lure us into accepting restrictions on our freedoms that we would have never considered otherwise.
The goal of a single global economy and government has been spoken of by elites time and time again, yet it is still to this day called “conspiracy theory” or “paranoid delusion”. I could quote these elites and their organizations all day long, but I’ll cite a few choice statements to make my point.
As former Deputy Secretary of State under Clinton and Council on Foreign Relations member Strobe Talbot wrote in an article for Time Magazine in 1992 titled ‘America Abroad: The Birth Of The Global Nation’:
“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.”
As elitist and Fabian Socialist HG Wells outlines in his non-fiction treatise titled ‘The New World Order’:
“…When the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people … will hate the new world order … and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people.”
And how about one of my favorite revealing quotes from Trilateral Commission member Richard N. Gardner, former deputy assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations under Kennedy and Johnson? He wrote in the April, 1974 issue of the Council on Foreign Relation’s (CFR) journal Foreign Affairs (pg. 558) in an article titled ‘The Hard Road To World Order’:
“In short, the ‘house of world order’ will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. It will look like a great ‘booming, buzzing confusion,’ to use William James’ famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault.”
Members of globalist foundations and think-tanks like the CFR have inhabited nearly every US government office and presidential cabinet for the past several decades. This includes the two dozen or so CFR members in Donald Trump’s cabinet. Draining the swamp? Not going to happen.
As Harpers Magazine candidly revealed in a 1958 expose titled ‘School For Statesmen’:
“The most powerful clique in these (CFR) groups have one objective in common, they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the U.S. They want to end national boundaries and racial and ethnic loyalties supposedly to increase business and ensure world peace. What they strive for would inevitably lead to dictatorship and loss of freedoms by the people. The CFR was founded for “the purpose of promoting disarmament and submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all powerful one world government.”
The easiest method for the globalists to get what they openly say they want is to either conjure a crisis or exploit an existing crisis in order to “erode sovereignty”. The current pandemic fits this plan perfectly, but before sovereignty can be eliminated on a national level they need to undermine sovereignty on an individual level first.
Actions within the US and nations allied to the US suggest an accelerated attack on personal liberties is at hand.
There are sister foundations to the CFR in many other countries. For example, in Australia they have the highly embedded and influential Strategic Policy Institute, which has been consistently advocating for complete centralization of government power in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Their stated plan is to concentrate policy administration in the hands of a new “commission” or “department” made up of the “brightest minds”. This commission would not be tasked with getting Australia back to normal, but convincing the public to ACCEPT the “new normal” beyond the pandemic.
The ASPI enthusiastically heralds the idea in an article titled ‘Coronavirus Response A Chance To Reimagine Future For Australia’:
“The agenda of such a department now is not about getting Australia back to normal after the pandemic. It’s about re-imagining what Australia can be and how we can thrive and prosper in our future beyond the coronavirus and in light of drought, bushfires and climate change. Think about the kind of new economy we can have after the forced, rapid adoption of dispersed home working and schooling through digital means. We can be the leading digital economy the prime minister desired before the pandemic, not by 2030 but much earlier.”
This reminds me immediately of the post 9/11 push to rapidly remove constitutional protections while the public was blinded by fear and confusion. As US globalist Rahm Emanuel would say:
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”
The ASPI reveals the true agenda, which is the complete federalization and unilateral implementation of law without public approval. The plan is to do this by exploiting the pandemic event to its full potential and then applying the rapid societal changes in government structure. This will then be carried on long after the coronavirus disappears in the name of the economy, welfare programs and so-called “global warming”. The pandemic response is just a means to an end, and the end game is total dominance of the population.
I focus on Australia and the surrounding regions in particular because this seems to be the place where globalists are enforcing technocratic policies first. Or at the very least, they are test-running their strategy and using Australians as guinea pigs. When the ASPI says they plan to keep the pandemic changes in place well after the virus is gone, they aren’t just talking about shifting into a digital economy.
Right now, Australia and New Zealand are slamming citizens with perhaps the most draconian measures yet in the Western world. These are policies that the elites want to introduce everywhere, but they are going full bore in Australia, and it just keeps getting worse.
In various areas of Australia “Level 4” response measures have been enforced for at least the next six weeks, including curfews, strict mask policies including people being forced to wear masks OUTSIDE (contrary to everything science and virology has to say about low possibility of transmission in sunlight and open air), residents are not allowed to travel more than 3 miles from their homes and only one person from a household is allowed to leave at any given time. Citizens violating these rules are subject to $10,000 fines or arrest. And yes, people are being arrested simply for not wearing mask or being too far from home.
In New Zealand, the situation has become exceedingly grim and I think it should be treated as a warning to Americans specifically as to our potential future is we allow the narrative of “public health security” to be turned into a vehicle for tyranny.
While Australia has been using quarantine facilities to force people considered high risk to isolate, NZ quarantine camps are now fully under the control of the military, and ALL citizens that test positive or are suspected to have Covid can be separated from their families and placed in the camps, which are hotels converted into prisons.
It is the complete erasure if personal liberties all because of an increase in cases which has amounted to a mere 525 deaths in Australia and 22 deaths in New Zealand.
I believe the reason Australia and New Zealand have been targeted with this level of restrictions first is because they have been almost fully disarmed and have no means to defend themselves from government overstep. That said, I see signs that similar measures will be attempted in the US as well. In states like New York, there are low key programs to set up Covid checkpoints stopping and checking vehicles coming into the state. This is where heavier restrictions start.
First, checkpoints will be established in the name of keeping infected people out of a state or city. Then, those same checkpoints will be used to keep people from leaving a state or city. Then, checkpoints will be set up at random to test people for fever or symptoms of illness. If allowed to continue, the natural progression of checkpoints is to terrify the population into not traveling anywhere for any reason. Like in Australia and NZ, people will effectively be imprisoned in their homes. At this stage, bringing in laws or executive orders punishing people for leaving home will be easier; they will have already acclimated to being trapped at home anyway.
Furthermore, elites and globalists within the US are calling for hard lockdowns for at least six weeks, just like the Level 4 lockdowns in Australia. Federal Reserve member Neel Kashkari recently asserted that Americans are saving more, thus they should be subjected to hard lockdowns “because they can afford it”.
Virginia is planning mandatory Covid vaccinations, even though vaccines for SARS like viruses have proven impossible to develop in the past, and rushed vaccines have a history of harming or killing people rather than protecting them. Set aside the issue that giving government the power to force citizens to inject anything into their bodies is immoral.
What’s next? Covid camps? Well, yes, unless Americans make a hard stand. Mainstream media outlets have been suggesting this strategy for months. The Washington Post applauded the use of forced isolation camps in other nations and asks why the US has not yet used them beyond ports for foreign travelers? The reason is this: Many Americans will not go along with such measures, and will use force in-kind against anyone trying to lock them up because of a virus that is a moderate threat at most to a small percentage of the population.
That said, don’t assume that the establishment will not eventually try it here. They will. Be ready when they do so. Look to the actions in places like Australia and NZ and ask yourself, am I willing to go along with that? And if so, for how long? Because the globalists intend for these restrictions to become the “new normal”. They intend for this nightmare to last forever.” The thorn in globalists’ side is 197 sovereign nations, each with their own legal and tax systems, inconsistent regulations, court systems, etc. Grabbing global resources is effortless when the nation-state system is destroyed. Trilaterals understood this in 1973 when they reintroduced Technocracy a…
Weekend read, Anti Fed Ed Warriors. Very, very important education news you won’t get anywhere else. More on Noahide laws ruining our lives, AI from the feds which will only increase, and, much more.
Here is a post that was shared in the Utah anti-Common Core group:
“I’m not sure how to begin this post except by saying, masks are causing harm! I am not a scientist and I’ve read stories from people on both sides of the debate but let me share an experience that is close to home.
My dear wife is a 2nd grade teacher in the Alpine School District. Utah Governor Herbert mandated masks for all employees, students, and visitors in schools this year. School started on Tuesday, August 18th, just 2 days ago and my wife has not been excited that she has to wear a mask for the full day. Side note, my daughter is a 1st grade teacher in the same school district.
“Masks don’t hurt anybody”, “masks allow airflow”, “there is nothing wrong with wearing a mask”, I’ve heard it all. Well, here is what is happening right now.
My wife came home from school on Tuesday (first day of school) with a slight rasp in her voice. She wears a microphone in her classroom so there is no need to speak loud enough for all the children to hear but the full day of teaching and masking caused her voice to start going out. Yesterday, she comes home and more of the same symptoms but now her chest also hurts, almost like it feels congested. After a couple of hours of being home with no mask, she begins to feel better and her voice returns — for the most part.
She told me that she is not alone. The teachers at the school are all having similar issues due to the fact that they are teaching, talking, and wearing a mask all day. (Now let me insert here, “doctors and nurses wear masks all day”. Yes, they do but they are not talking and teaching for hours on end and they remove the masks when not in with patients). Many of the teachers remove their masks as soon as the day is over even though they are still at the school and technically, breaking the mandate.
The school district has provided face shields for the teachers to use but the mandate states that they must wear a mask even if they wear the face shield. So, she is doing her best to comply.
However, last night was the breaking point. As we were laying in bed, she literally started crying and saying she did not want to go back. She’s cried herself to sleep before but this was different. She’s hurting, not just physically but emotionally. She loves to teach and she loves the children but not being able to communicate with them effectively is breaking her heart. After two days she is telling me stories about how the kids look at her with the “can I take my mask off” look in their eyes. The kids are confused and hurting. They want to be with their friends and teachers while at school but they cannot — “social distancing”. One of her students even told her that he likes it better when she takes her mask off (which she has done a few times so the kids could see her mouth).
My daughter is having the same experiences at her school. She had a rough cough yesterday due to wearing the mask all day.
This is not a political post and I will delete any comments that come across that way. I am simply sharing my first-hand account of what is happening. Our teachers are not going to make it. They won’t make it a year, a month, or maybe not even a couple weeks. The children are so confused. The State of Utah, Governor, and school district need to make changes. I don’t know what the answer is but I do know that the masks are causing more harm than good and the way this is playing out has a very bad ending.”
And some replies to this post:
My 10 yr old son is starting to get daily headaches, I don’t feel good about giving him pain reliever every day. I think that our government officials need to know what’s going on.
Because the “ officials “ have staked this out as the hill they want to die on, I am not sure any rational, scientific fact based studies or arguments will work. If enough teachers refuse to teach in person or online because it is negatively impacting the children, then it may be reviewed. If parents refuse to send their children to these schools or pursue Utah online school options, schools loose money for lack of attendance. Money talks, bull poop walks. Think about it. A few weeks of civilly disobedient non-compliance can make a big change.
I’ve said this several times, and I will say it again! I strongly believe that within the first month of Teaches and Students being forced to wear facemasks, we are going to start to see MANY severe medical conditions. Anyone who is being forced or threatened in any way about wearing a facemask, should file a lawsuit against any lawmaker that is mandating the wearing of facemasks. NO EXCEPTIONS.
My high school daughter is required to wear a mask at her work (we live in Ok) She has been battling a skin rash around her mouth all summer from “masking” the 4-6 hours, 3-4 days a week. She is now on steroid medication to try to control it. We are NOT looking forward to “masking” during school!
my daughter (a nurse) is battling the same. “Mascne” and it’s just getting way worse…
People, listen. “THEY” DON’T CARE! Mark my words. They want you to be uncomfortable, they want children to hurt, they want you to lose your job, they want you to lose your business. Why? So that life becomes so bad that when a vaccine is available, you will all stampede, like a black Friday sale, stumbling all over yourselves to get that vaccine so the pain will end. How many times have you heard that the masking, shutdowns and closures must continue until we get a vaccine? But they will inject you with an mRNA vaccine which will permanently alter your RNA and DNA for generations to come. Masks are horrible in every way, but they are not the end game. The end game is genetically modified humans that can be more easily controlled. BTW, I’ve seen this type of thing done before in school districts, where the parents did not want to raise taxes. So the school district simply made things uncomfortable and cut their favorite programs until the parents screamed for higher taxes.
I came home and cried too! The students talk less than they usually do because of the mask! I heard a few of my students came home and cried not wanting to go back. I too am complying- but it is tough!
As a former teacher, this breaks my heart! Also thinking of no hugs for those kiddos!😢❤
I work in the counseling office and I honestly don’t know how much longer I can deal with the masks. I still get a headache from wearing mine.
I believe this. I can barely make it thru Walmart and Costco before ripping off my mask in the parking lot. I can not breathe!
Yes, that is how I feel too. Nothing about this feels healthy. It sure seems to me that the treatment is worse than what’s truly needed. Sure, it’s a real and dangerous (at least for some) virus and let’s all use common sense, but why are we not hearing more about boosting our immune system, and why are doctors who have treated hundreds if not thousands of patients successfully with hydroxychloroquine and steroid breathing treatments being censored? I absolutely believe that it’s because they want to make this vaccine mandatory and have people so miserable about masks, etc. that they’ll be begging for something and be accepting of the vaccine. I’ve been studying up on this upcoming COVID19 vaccine (and those with conflict of interest who are behind it) from great sources and who have a history of accuracy. I would not touch it!
As a teacher, I’m experiencing the same thing!! It’s not a good situation.
My second grade grandson had a sub teacher and didn’t realize it until they were told! With a mask on these kids don’t know and someone can come and say they are from the office and need a few kids, away they go! Who know who they could be? 😡
From a perspective of wearing one day after day at work for eight hours since April (big box retail): It. Does. Not. Get. Better. I cannot emphasize how much it still makes employees dizzy, hoarse, and very sweaty to the point that several of us have to pull our masks down every few minutes during our shift just to be able to breathe. And many employees are wearing cloth masks that promised “breathable” on the package. They are not. Even the disposable ones are bad. My own sons have been threatened several times at school by students and teachers because they pull the masks off their nose so they have access to oxygen. It’s only been a week since school started. This is getting ridiculous.
And here is another post that was shared in this group:
Don’t help. Don’t share. Remember that one rule! You can’t help! Kids put things into perspective in the simplest ways, with very little effort. It’s continually eye-opening to me on a day-to-day basis how easily, clear and concise, a child can convey. Today my 2nd Grader said something that once again, made me think. “Mom, the thing that is hard this year (speaking of school) is that we can’t help and we can’t share!” Let me repeat that. There are two rules: Don’t help. Don’t share. “Like, if my teacher drops her pencil and we all want to help her pick it up she has to remind us…Wait kids, remember that one rule—don’t help!” Now, this is NOT an attack on my daughters wonderful teacher. She is WONDERFUL and I know they are doing their best to follow policies and procedures, setting aside any of their personal opinions, to bring their VERY BEST to the classroom—and we are lucky to be IN a classroom. They have my support. I also get that in the grand scheme of things, this is temporary, and as good citizens we have been compliant and respectful. But today I wondered. (That’s been happening a lot lately…) Because I’m a Mom and these are my babies, so I’m allowed to do that. I wondered about that statement, “Don’t help. Don’t share.” That innate desire that children possess to help. To come to ones aid. To be a helper. We are now asking them, enforcing them even—to repress, restrict and refrain. To suffocate. And I wonder. I wonder how much we are saying NO to by saying YES to a virus. These are formative years, full of character building and setting the societal standards of goodness for humanity. And I wonder what the world will look like for kids who learned in early childhood, even as an unintentional side-effect of a global pandemic: don’t help, don’t share. Because I know the world of social media…I am not underestimating my role as a parent to double-up in my home what the world would double-down. It actually gives me great comfort to know how much is in my control when it comes to raising my children. Thank you for allowing me to share a thought process.
Here is a post from a Nevada anti-Common Core group:
CCSD won’t call it a DATA BREACH, they call it a “data security incident.” Washoe County School District does the same thing… School districts, and all of us paying attention, know school districts CAN’T protect our children’s data! Unfortunately it doesn’t stop Nevada school districts from collecting, storing, and sharing more data about our children than at any time in human history.
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
Parents beware of propaganda! I hate to highlight Amaze once again, but their videos so perfectly illustrate the negative messages and indoctrination being pushed on our children in school.
Take a look at their latest video, “Why are Parents So Annoying?” It undermines and disparages parents and elevates the independence of youth above their wisdom and experience. Here’s a quote: “But, as you grow older and more independent you grow your own understanding of the world and yourself and you start to see your parents are not perfect. That’s normal!”
The brief and subtle (or not so subtle) message in this video is that parents are outdated in their thinking and that a child’s view of the world and themselves is superior to the wisdom and experience of their parents.
Take note of the idea that is expressed, “you grow your own understanding of… yourself.” This lays the psychological ground work for dangerous sexual and gender ideology, also being aggressively pushed in schools, to take root in your child’s heart and mind.
Children are being convinced that they are not really boys or girls, that they are the opposite of their biological sex. Johnny gets introduced to this idea in school and eventually believes that he is a girl and not a boy. He goes home to tell his parents and they assure him that he is not a girl, but a boy. Johnny tells himself that his parents just don’t understand the world like he does. They are relics of a bygone era. They don’t understand him either. He disregards their admonitions and decides to follow his own ‘truth.’ This sets him up to go down the path of taking dangerous untested chemical treatments like puberty blockers and cross sex hormones that have serious side effects including infertility and erectile dysfunction. Not to mention increasing his chances of eventually wanting a body mutilating surgery, from which there is no return.
Everything teaches. EVERYTHING. Even the very brief message in this video. Add it to the unscientific and unhealthy assertions about sex and gender being presented in sex ed class, in other classes, through school assemblies, on social media, other forms of media, and by the school culture and what we see is a clear propaganda campaign meant to entice your child into the latest trend. Except this trend isn’t the same thing as say, getting a tattoo because all the kids are doing it. A tattoo can later be covered up or removed. Perfectly healthy body parts cannot be grown back after they are surgically removed, nor can fertility be restored in every instance. This trend victimizes and hurts children. Some of the consequences are for life. For. Life. Let that sink in.
The organizations that promote Comprehensive Sexuality Education and also produce these Amaze videos know exactly what they are doing. Their motto is “sex ed for social change.” In order to captivate the hearts and mind of youth to help advance their social and political agenda they have to destroy the foundations of our society, one of which is the family. In order to do that, parents must be silenced and forced to submit to the agenda.
Parents, wake up and speak up before it is too late. Don’t think your child is above the deception. Parents tell me their heart wrenching stories of their children’s gender confusion. Kids who come from homes with loving parents are being caught up in the transgender craze. It breaks my heart. 💔
Amaze videos are used in public schools across the nation, including in MA. Find out if these videos are being used in your child’s school. Voice your objections. Opt your child out of sex ed.
Talk to your child about everything. EVERYTHING. Be proactive. Teach them to discern fact from fiction. Train them to think critically. Take care of their heart. Stay close. Be equipped to protect your kids.
I’m so angry at my school district right now… I’m having to homeschool my daughter because of this stupidity 😠 I don’t have the freaking patience for homeschooling but I’m not sending her to school so she can learn to be afraid of something that’s less likely to kill her than the freaking flu 🙄
And the post that was quoted:
Davis School District August 24 at 8:00 AM Just as a reminder. Face coverings are the norm for the time being. Every student needs to wear a mask at school and on the bus. We look forward to seeing everyone in school this week! If you would like to share your first-day-of-school photos, send them to us at news@dsdmail.net. We’d love to share as many as we can.
And some replies to this post:
The sight of that should disgust and enrage every parent . THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND WE DONT WANT IT TO BE . Stop 🛑 showing pics of these kids in masks like it’s normal and the new way of things 🔥🔥🔥
I understand 😦 the reason i sent my child to school was to prove we are not afraid, now having to submit to a mask or the kids are threatened to be sent home. My kid got in trouble for pulling her mask down below her nose for a “breather” and got yelled at. Now shes laying down with a bad headache! She wants to go to school and knows this is BS so i guess off to poking several little holes in her mask i go
I just got told i was a shit parent for feeling this way and that “its my responsibility as a parent to do this” from some dem retard fucken sheep today. Like uhmmmm, i pay INSANE amounts of taxes! THATS what it goes for. EDUCATION. period. Ooooo i wish that it was a fucking LAW if u talk shit to someone on social media you’re required to square up face to face. Lol Idiots. You’re NOT ALONE!! I work full time, and i dont have the patience for the bullshit either. And what they are teaching in highschool? Hell nah i wanna come unglued with how stupid it is.
My take on this is even if they don’t learn as much as maybe they would have in school. But I bet they learn more. They know you love them too much to let this be their normal.
Our school district pulled a bait and switch. When working on reopening, they had everyone go online to select virtual, homeschool, or traditional, with the caveat that masks were NOT going to be required, just encouraged. The DAY AFTER the selection deadline, they mandated masks. F-ing nazi ass tactics. My girls are okay with wearing them, but i got them these masks that are basically beads stitched together and don’t restrict oxygen. I seriously hope there are nuremburg style trials when all this is over
It is so frustrating. They made a decision for us that said masks in hallways and once seated in classroom they can take them off. I can live with that. Now the ridiculous teacher’s union is trying to sue for masks all the time. It’s almost like they want everyone miserable. All of this for less than a 1% death rate. This solution is worse than covid itself. Ugh, praying they don’t win and best of luck homeschooling. We really need to something or this crap never ends!
Can you claim medical exemption where you live?
yes but the state medical association has barred doctors from giving them
Oh. Everyone in az just says it to go everywhere and no papers are needed.
In UT, the schools require a doctor signed exemption. Except you’ll be hard pressed to find a doctor willing to give one now 🙄
So, I actually signed my daughter up to go back in September, hoping that they would come up with a better plan, or hoping the mask “supposedly only for a lil while ” mandate would be changed by September…since it’s not and not even our corrupt government wont even go back to work but want to send kids back to school full time, I have decided to retract the application and homeschool, until things go back to normal…
Pulled my first grader out of charter school. Last I heard they switched to hybrid model, doesn’t matter, more burden to parents anyway. Excited to homeschool for the first time! She will be well cared for and loved by her mama bear, 10thousand times better than current craziness at school. Waiting to hear the narrative in some news to see the stats how many parents pulled their kids to homeschool beginning this year🤔
I am SO sick of TCU where my son goes. Every single post on social media they do has to do with masks. They need to give it a rest and maybe motivate our kids instead of focusing 100% on this crap!
Our daughter (7th grade) did two days at school before asking to switch to virtual. She was miserable…masks were required all day, social distancing, no socializing, no using lockers, and backpacks are left in hall outside classrooms to be sprayed and sanitized while students are in class. She would much rather be in school but with the hyper-focus on covid protocols it’s not healthy.
I have a friend that teaches music. At her school the kids are not allowed to sing or chant in class. She’s struggling as a music teacher having to discourage her kiddos from singing when they come to her.
I feel you! I quit my job in order to homeschool. These BS mandates are not fair to our children and the long-term psychological effects will be far worse than if they had contracted the virus.
Here is another post from this group:
My School District is a flippin joke!!! I wrote them a nice 5 page letter how I disliked their opening plans for students and employees considering I’m a Teacher Assistant …Long story short I also put in there that I am a Christian and that it goes against my religion to wear a face covering and how could my district allow one religion to practice their faith meaning the Muslims wearing their burkas but not Christians and expect them to sin… I get this letter in the mail today… I love how they say that all these mandates that they’re requiring “outweigh my concern” ohhh ok then they continue with If I don’t believe that I am “prepared to comply with their mandates to please contact their office and they can coordinate my exit plan from further employment with the district!!” Wait the best part is highlighted in red at the bottom of the page “we are an equal opportunity employer which fully and actively supports equal access for all regardless of race, color, weight, national origin ,ethnic group religion, religious practices” …ect ect NOPE PRETTY SURE THAT’S A LIE!! I go Monday to the Dr. for a medical exempt praying I’m approved I don’t see why not I do legit have health problems but I’m curious to see what my school district will say when I hand them that Dr. Note.. If they deny me employment with a doctors note isn’t that grounds for a discrimination lawsuit??
And a reply to this post:
My kids attend a private Christian school and my middle schooler must wear a mask at certain times. I emailed the Christian school principal to tell him of my concerns about mask wearing (masks play a role in occult worship and signal submission to entities other than God) and he basically said I was wrong. And that Compliance was necessar
Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
I ran into a friend today and we got chatting about our families. He mentioned that his 12th grader has just been sent home for 2 weeks because he sits near someone who tested positive for Covid. I said, well what about the 6 foot social distancing and the masks? Isn’t that supposed to prevent transmission? He said they talked with the Utah County Health Department. They said that the students were closer than 6 feet- and that they don’t consider masks a measure that provides protection. What!?!! I am incredulous. And incredibly tired of this whole game. Our children are being held hostage and are being used to further this garbage control agenda.
And some replies to this post:
Grrrrrr That infuriates me!! Everyone has to stand up about this. This is about so much more than masks.
I think it is about the vaccine. Put fear in people and mandate insane dictates, saying the only way back to normal is with a vaccine. There is something very, very fishy about the vaccine. Plus it is giving tyranny a platform to see how far they can go.
The end goal in using the vaccine for depopulation and putting a chip in anyone who survives it. Bill Gates says flat out he supports vaccines for population control.. He also holds the patent on the chip and is a top investor in the vaccine as well as his money being used in covid itself.. Fauci is on his payroll. Watch Plandemic 1 and 2 on either ise.media or banned.video. (Don’t believe the “fact checkers” that are bought and payed for by Bill Gates.) He has his hands in everything. Common Core etc;) The elite want total contol. Ever heard of the Georgia Guide stones? They are a tourist attraction that has 7 large stone slabs with the illuminati ‘s goals on them in 7 different languages. Or read any of the long list of books written about this by so many? I recomend “None Dare Call it Conspiracy” or The Naked Capitalist” to start.. or watch “Behind the Green Mask” or “Out of the Shadows”. They ar all must watches and reads… Standing up for our freedoms and standing together is more important than ever. Everything depends on it. It will be the fight of our lives.
I’m a music teacher at an elementary. We were told that if a child tests positive for covid any child that is near that child for more than 15 minutes cumulative, in a day, will have to be quarantined.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Thank you to my friend Lynne M Taylor for making this video. In it she carefully highlights the points outlined in the military field manuals regarding Psyops and Internment Camps.
BTW, I’m an Army combat veteran of 13 years. So I have a bit of knowledge/experience here. I can tell you that these field manuals are treated like gospel to the soldiers and commanders in field operations. They are like the bibles of warfare. So whatever is contained in them is adhered to like glue.
A few days ago I had posted about two important manuals. In particular FM 33-1-1 Psychological Operations Techniques and Procedures and FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations. They outline the procedures and rules of operation against civilians, including Americans (if necessary) in the event of a national emergency. The crisis we have at hand today qualifies as such an event.
At this time, no one is saying that these measures will occur, yet, but we are slowly creeping towards that moment when American civilians might be considered in some form an enemy of the state, considered enough to be detained for the “good of all people” then it’s our duty to be informed.
Education is mentioned 18 times Civilians: 83 times (especially how they can be classified)
Look especially for page 3-9 where ‘state enemy and state friend’ are mentioned. The US approval for UN use of force in times of conflict (who/what defines ‘conflict’?)
So my spouse would prefer to believe that I’ve thrown in with “right wingers” or am “deluded” or “misguided” rather than respect my research and informed analysis. Welcome Monday – I very well may need a shot of whiskey in my next cup of coffee.
And some replies to this post:
I was called a “right wing nut job” who sides with Glenn Beck and kicked out of the house of a friend who I’ve know for 23 yrs. 🤪 uh….sure…..ok
So many of us have had that experience – and some have made this discovery on our own… As we found that those who affirmed our ideas were the people we never imagined agreeing with, inc Glenn Beck fans.
a man I’ve known for over 30 years here in Seattle, and counted as a good friend, questioned my “mental health” and “sincerely” hoped I’d get help with that… it’s all such fucking bullshit!
Have you seen the movie “Red”…..I am affectionately referred to as “Marvin” in my family. Oh….and accused of wearing a tin foil hat at times….but have also had great satisfaction as some of my “predictions” come to pass! Hang tight. Truth matters here….politics not so much. The left and right have both been complicit….money, corruption and power are the common factors. The high ground cannot no longer be claimed by either the left or the right….both complicit at this point. IMO, anyway
Here is a post that I found on the wall of a friend of mine:
5 years ago, I knew about this (as a person living in Australia), I posted things, and got described a nutcase. Who is laughing now – I do not, because I knew. Well, Here some other UN info: AGENDA 21 COUNCILS IN EVERY NATION (UN). ** Agenda 21 was birthed out of the Rio Summit 1992. Agenda 21 (A 21), a.k.a. Smart Growth, Sustainability, Regionalism, Visioning Processes, Action Plans, Shared Values; 20/20, Best Practices; Community Festivals & Public/Private Partnerships. These are some of the words you will hear associated with Agenda 21, the buzzwords. ** ** Every country must set up a council to oversee the implementation of A 21. A 21 is Sustainable Development. Steven Rockefeller (another rich crook) set up the Earth Charter. The Earth Charter is the new One World Religion: Earth worship – GREEN AGENDA, but it is just green in terms of sustainable money making and control of everybodies lifes. The earth is considered to be ‘sacred’, and its protection is a ‘sacred trust’. Global responsibility will demand basic changes in values, behaviors and attitudes of government, the private sector, and civil society. ** Under Sustainable Development man is considered to be responsible for the pollution of the planet (fair enough) but puts the elites in a position of dominance over the entire earth and it’s minion people slaves. The elite will worship the money created from taxing every conceivable aspect of normal people’s lifes. ** “The environmental agenda is a spiritual agenda with earth worship at its root. As such, the following practices are all considered to be unsustainable: Fossil fuels, artificial fertilizers, modern systems of agricultural production, irrigation water, herbicides, pesticides, farmland, pastures, grazing of livestock, consumerism, dietary habits, salt, sugar, private property, paved roads, dams, reservoirs, logging activities, fencing of pastures”. – Joan Peros
** “Every environmental resource must be measured. What can be measured can be managed under the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment Project.” – Joan Peros
** Among the things considered to be unsustainable, as listed above these are included: Monotheism and the family unit. The health care plan of Resident Obama is / was under Agenda 21! Under this health care plan, the family unit is / was very much being attacked. Anyone over age 65 must undergo ‘end of life counseling’ by their doctor every 5 years. Abortion will be pushed that much harder, especially with the Science Czar wanting sterilants put into our water supply! One of the new appointees to the Resident Evil Obama Administration once said in a book he co-wrote that ‘a child could be killed up to the age of 2 years old’! What kind of a monster could think that is acceptable? ** Nearly the exact language used to define Sustainable Development was taken from the 1977 Soviet Constitution! ** The Family Dependency Ratio, under the United Nations, will look at every household. They will gauge what that household has produced in accordance with what it has used (i.e., resources) by the water bills, energy bills, etc. Are you using more than you are producing? Are you adding to the collective, or merely taking away? This is how the powers that be will determine whether you are a productive citizen, or, in the words of Henry Kissinger, “A useless eater”. ** In 1990, Prince Charles formed The Prince of Wales Business Leaders Forum to bring together 50-60 of the world’s topmost multi-national/transnational corporations to start buying up governments around the world. This is Public/Private Partnerships… This is the very definition of fascism. I must stop here. At the rate things are now moving, I could add to this daily. DO WHAT YOU MUST. PEOPLE ARE ASLEEP. THEY MUST BE WOKEN UP.
And some replies to this post:
I bet it’s pretty much the same with many people who follow you. So many aren’t willing to put down the “news” and listen to the truth. Your voice is so very important, please continue to use it!
I’m getting that from friends and family. Fortunately my partner agrees with me. That’s a tough one when it’s your spouse. I try to see it that everyone is on their own path, and will wake up in their own time. There is no forcing anyone.
I do understand, mine thought I was off my rocker a while back. Even when I traced the agenda to his place of work.. that’s ok, he does support most of what I do. God supports it all.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” Upton Sinclair. I know you’ve heard it before.
Ha ha! He’s right you know! About throwing in your lot with “right wingers!” Because that is where you’ll find the left. I’ve looked, and it’s definitely not on the left. Not to worry, there will be some necessary and innovative cross fertilization and hybridization that the inbred, degenerate, and tired left desperately needs. Some new blood. It is not any reflection of you, but says everything about what the left has become. At least there’s some potential on the “right.” I’ve noticed this since 9/11 and how us Truthers were treated, then after obama was elected, and also as an anti-vaxxer, when I had to seek solace among the libertarians. My left economics have remained completely intact, as the left’s has devolved into UBI.
It’s a result of media brainwashing. My parents say the same things to me. I listened in this morning on my dad’s daily dose of NPR – it was pure left vs right propaganda, not a shred of depth to it, and my dad – am ordinarily very bright guy – was just sitting there, passively soaking it all in while having his coffee. And I couldn’t say one word, because I know it would set him – an ordinarily calm and collected guy – off. Mind control.
I see this same attitude from my other family. I know better, but the propaganda IS enticing so many.
NPR is a very dangerous drug. Should only be consumed by those with the strongest constitutions. Most completely succumb to its powers, as it is very intelligently designed to strip the last vestiges of critical thinking, while conferring onto its users delusions of superior knowledge. I now listen to it on a regular basis, in the hope of developing more effective antidotes, so that one day people like your father can be restored to their right minds.
I quit NPR about 20yrs ago. It wasn’t hard and everytime I listen, it takes fewer than 10m for them to mention something about Aparthrael that’s supposed to engage me emotionally. NYT and NPR are the worst offenders.
there’s a fabulous documentary, The Brain Washing of My Dad, by Jen Senko, that you’d appreciate. In her case, it was right wing radio/TV that captured her father, but the dynamic is nearly identical.
I remember 15 or so years ago, my husband was doing all kinds of reading and researching on this very type of thing, and I thought he had lost his mind. It’s true, it was all-consuming and I was really worried about him. Perhaps your husband is just worried about you. It took me this long to finally catch up to where he was at. He was patient, but I tell you what, he constantly reminds me of where I used to be lol. (Head in sand). He may get there. Stick to your truth and be gentle with him. And remember – you are doing so much good in this world. ❤ ❤
It’s a remarkable propaganda coup. The ruling class have got the left in the UK and US demanding more top down authoritarian control from governments they hate and accuse of fascism. It boggles the mind.
We ALL, no matter what political Jersey we wear, have to coexist in our nation of laws. We ALL get to enjoy the natural rights from our creator in this country. It’s really no different than how all of us care together in the beginning of common core—unfortunately it was just the beginning. It’s a republic if WE the people can unite to keep IT— I’ve enjoyed your research so much, because it has helped me connect the Marble Caker dots (originally, I thought it was Technocrats working singularly) The bigger picture is truly more evil and more selfish and more freedom crushing than any of us Common Core moms could have imagined— Have you done any work around studying (pre-technocrat ) Charles Merriam? I have conversed with someone nationally about him- but not sure it was you. It will be a good rabbit hole to find the Marble Cake entities, and their spawning entities (hint, NGA is an offshoot) I love you my fellow warrior- and believe it or not, we may not wear the same jersey. (I’m in the process of burning mine 🤣). 💕 Have a better rest of your day!
All i do is follow the veins of what seems to add up – now corruption by any person is precisely that – it doesn’t matter what political or ideological stance you have – follow the money On a personal level I have a new partner and now her father is a retired Hungarian Top Academy Award Virologist who loves Fauci – needless to say that bombshell has me perplexed 🤔- A good example I am following is a path of trying to eek out terrain theory over germ theory and stating that bacteria and viruses are within us anyhow and it is the terrain that predisposes infections of already existing health issues – Needless to say i am not disapproving his life’s work here and wouldn’t stand a chance but I have to go about it like walking on mousetraps 😳🤯😱🤣 So a few things I feel as an ecologist trained academic myself is as follows – we are part of evolution for millions of years and if we all of a sudden have virus issues – how the hell did humanity evolve in the first place Basically the medical mafia haven’t got a magic pill or a stupid vaxxine to save humanity – it’s all contrived nonsense frankly that has come about via Rockefeller and his idiotic notions of ‘coal tar snake oils’ So let’s get back to basics in life – follow the money – analyse the corruption – see the truths Somewhere along these lines we can sort this In the meantime don’t get pigeonholed by anyone Bloody impressed by your research and commitments and like us all stick with your gut feelings regardless of what someone else says however close they are to your nest … My mother a retired nurse of 30 yrs plus also really feels something is amiss – well of course it is – corruption always is amiss – it stinks and the quicker we expose these half truths and agendas the better it will be for everyone whether we like it or not – truths are truths … We are in this together unfortunately 🤣 keep your fire burning bright – we have a false house of cards to burn down 🔥 🤣😎 🔥 Would recommend a good single malt ☺️ cheers
I think at this point anything that the establishment left publicly disagrees with is a “right wing conspiracy” to people. It’s funny because if you dig deeper into most democrat views it’s very hollow and they, because of never taking any action and also supporting the more inclusive violence of the left, end up doing the same things. I believe thoughts matter but not in the thought police left way. That sounds painful though and I’m sorry.
TBH it’s less the political stuff as these days I’m pretty much beyond all of that, but the idea that somehow that by investigating what is behind this larger program I have become “misguided” or “deluded.” I mean I am open to opposing analysis, but it has to be based in fact and not simply I’m giving those in power the benefit of the doubt until I see otherwise, until it all happens. Why should we not contest these plans before they are fully realized? Why should we not be sounding the alarm about unethical practices? Why should we not look to past history to realize these players do not deserve the benefit of the doubt? All humans should be openly discussing militarized bioweapon injections, even if they are being sold to us as “safety” measures – re DARPA / Profusa. I am not going to quiety go along with this. I’m just not.
My best friend for the past 18 years has unfriended me over her similar delusion. I sent her the photos of people as far as the eye can see protesting in Berlin and London. Crickets back from her. The mainstream news told her they are right wing conspiracy theorists, so I guess she will have to unfriend humanity.
My husband and I are feeling validated by you so hard right now. We are suburban white people in Seattle area and we keep getting accused of this kind of shit from our identity politic loving peers. I’m sorry you have to deal with this in your primary relationship. Like you, I’ve had more time to research what is going on than my husband. He was skeptical and resistant for awhile, but he really gets it now. Sean commented on a local school parent’s post of an article saying that Trump would win the election. He said something about how Dem governors would enforce dangerous changes to attempt to move foreward a technocrat agenda and a former friend threatened “Are you still a teacher in the X school district? Do they know you are knee deep in conspiracy theories?” Wtf? All teachers have to fall in line with corporate D’s?!
The whole Trump thing has weighed heavy on my relationships too. But what’s the alternative?
Trump, Biden…it will all end in the same result. I think it is unrealiatic of us to believe one party is not sold out to the technocratic globalist.
This reminds me of another story. I remember when my best friend told me in 2008 that Obama wasn’t who he said he was. I wanted her off of my cloud. I thought there was something wrong with HER. I couldn’t talk to her for months and it took me years to realize she was right and I still voted for him twice. Awakening takes time and the people doing the jiggling are often not at all appreciated by the slumbering.
i remember losing most of my American friends on YT for pointing out that Obama was a bad guy during his election ..i was accused of spoiling the party . I then continued to lose my father , 3 brothers 1 sister all of my nieces and nephews , nearly every other relative and most of my friends over the subject of weather mod and the over medification of the elderly . Ive since written them all off , i imagine they still dont get it .
It’s f’ing bewildering. My favorite thing is to look at how media works. We have Chomsky and Bernays showing us the nuts and bolts and people still shame people who refuse corporate programming. My husband went to a nice private liberal arts college and has recently realized his former classmates can’t think. They trust NPR. 😂
Yes i watch the media tactics . They always create a celebrity controlled opposition spouting subliminals . The latest one i noticed was people who mean well posting an interview with a known celeb speaking out about harsh lockdown restrictions during which she says ..oh im not one of those conspiracy people who thinks bill gates rules the world { which is saying really , vaccination is ok} and then she says , I vote labor , Im not one of those RIGHT WING conspiracy theorists ! … Its just blatant . scripted . …. If u look at Chomsky on 9,11 by the way u might see his true colors . He is what is known as a gatekeeper .The Corbett report does a good evidential breakdown on Chomsky and controlled opp .
2nd wave feminism was extracting historic concessions from the ruling class & it was getting scared. So in the ’70s, the ruling class invented 3rd wave, which is really antifeminism, & started rolling it out. The fake virus false flag has really underscored how profoundly reactionary & counterrevolutionary 3rd wave really is & why it must be stopped. 4th wave all too often is reduced to single issue politics involving the transcult & sexploitation of Wombyn & Children. Your work is adding more impt issues to 4th wave, as is the work of other activists, incl me.
I’m in the same boat with you, Alison and so many others I see on this thread. My husband and adult daughter are die-hard germaphobes with this crisis. It is extremely hurtful when my daughter says she has lost all respect for me, when I have given her my life since she was born… Which makes me wonder if there is an innate personality characteristic the social engineers of this crisis knew would kick in.
“there is an innate personality characteristic the social engineers of this crisis knew would kick in.” Yes, they’re preying on deep seated fears of the collective unconscious, that are part of our DNA. They have the most sophisticated minds working on this, they can afford them. Remember the shrinks on their payroll for new and improved toture methods at Gitmo?
It’s very difficult for people to leave mind controlled states. Emotionally it’s difficult to realize the structure of the world is not what you have spent a life believing. Even more distressing is taking person responsibly outside the system after realizing vote and go on with your life doesn’t work. In America the Hegellian dialectic of Right/Left political paradigm is keeping many from acknowledging the global nature of the lockstep operation for the Great Reset. While the rest of the Western world protested the Covid operation, Americans went to Trump rallies believing they were doing the same. Sad.
Many years ago, black democrat Doctor Gary Thompson got thrown together with us “right wing nut jobs” in Utah. Gary quickly realized that we “white moms” with limited government ideals were just trying to protect our kids. And, we quickly realized that he was just trying to do the same thing. That’s when the left-right Matrix fell away and we started to walk away from its mental fog. Hope shines much brighter in these new circles! Love you Alison!
It makes you wonder, if the selection of Orange Clown was precisely for this reason, so that those non-aligned with anti-colonial and anti-racist leanings would be cast as rightists. They’re doing the same in Germany around any who oppose the agenda.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Rockefeller Foundation wants to RESET the way you eat.
For those who are still a little slow about the Bad Guys….
(1) Columbia is one of the names of the Great Whore of Babylon, also known as the Great Abomination—- the goddess known also as Semiramis, Ashtoreth, Astarte, Isis, and Cybele.
(2) The Federal Government is based out of? The District of Columbia. The District is named after? Columbia. The Babylonian goddess.
(3) The District Government is a theocracy that worships Columbia. Her worship was brought here by renegade Freemasons and by the so-called “secular administration” of the Roman Catholic Church. The secular administration is a separate and worldly activity and those involved in it worship the goddess; they operate under their own High Priest known as the Roman Pontiff. This semi-symbiotic relationship has led to the pernicious cruelty of the Church — pogroms, inquisitions, killing-for-Christ wars like the Crusades and mercenary expeditions like the Spanish Conquest, were all carried out by the so-called “Secular Church”.
Count that as the Mother of all Oxymorons.
(4) The Statue of Liberty is a giant image or idol of Columbia; the Babylonian goddess in all her many iterations is always shown with rays of light coming out of her head, and similar to her male consort, Lucifer, she is touted as “the light bringer”— hence, she is seen carrying a torch or lantern or pictured as standing before the blazing sun, or with halos around her head in iconography.
(5) The seat of the District Government, Washington, DC, is absolutely full of signs and symbols of her worship— note the pentagram shape of the Pentagon, realize that the Washington Monument is a giant phallic symbol, and see the minor obelisks, pine cones, owls, and images of bundles of tied sticks (faggots) which are all emblems of the worship of this goddess and symbols of the Ancient Roman government.
(6) Whenever you see the word “district” you have cause to know that you are dealing with this venal and secretive pagan theocracy being promoted by the “District Government”: US District Court, school districts, voting districts, District Assemblies, etc. Anything called a “district” or a “municipality” is part of the problem and contributing materially to it.
(7) The goddess these foreign bureaucrats worship is, among other things, famous for prostitution, slavery, all forms of sexual deviance, child murder and infanticide, drinking of blood as a religious observance, orgies, cannibalism, demon worship, the creation of money and taxes, using sexual intercourse as a sacrament, and many other repugnant ideas and practices.
(8) The priests of Cybele (different name for the same goddess) wore black robes and white wigs and castrated themselves in honor of their goddess. They came to Rome in the Second Century BC and were promptly hired as tax collectors by the Roman government and set up Tax Courts. Members of the Bar Association continue in this role to the present day. They work out of temples, and particularly, the Temple Bar complex in the Inner City of London.
So now that you know the source of the rot, you know why the adherents of this profane “religion” are stealing kids off our streets and sacrificing them and drinking their blood as a drug. You know why their “district” school boards think it is okay to teach five year-olds about sodomy and have them practice putting condoms on life-like penis models. You also know why they promote abortion and trade in “sacrificed” fetal organs and tissues and do things like make face cream out of the foreskins ripped off baby boys in their hospitals.

And it also makes sense that you need to get your kids out of their schools and other institutions and yourself protected as much as possible and— most of all, get your own government fully restored ASAP.
Here is a post from a Nevada anti-Common Core group:
Naviance is the software the new counselors at Incline High School want to use and The Boosters want to pay for. Not sure if WCSD approved it, probably. If you have kids at IHS or IMS you can request your kids not be involved. But who knows if the school will really honor your request. From the article: “Perhaps the poster-child for the lack of accountability to which pledge signatories are held is Naviance by Hobsons — an Ed-Tech provider used by middle, high school, and college students that collects dates of birth, ethnicity, and other sensitive data — having reported at least three data breaches in 2019 alone. The first was a data breach in Virginia, involving sensitive information of 21 former students; the second was a breach in Pennsylvania involving 12,000 students, and the third involved close to 6,000 students attending Montgomery County, Md., public schools. With three breaches in a single year, one could argue that Naviance is not compliant with the pledge’s commitment to ‘[m]aintain a comprehensive security program that is reasonably designed to protect the security, privacy, confidentiality, and integrity of student personal information against risks.’

TRACKING YOUR FAMILY TO THEIR DOORSTEP
A threat intelligence firm called HYAS, a private company that tries to prevent or investigates hacks against its clients, is buying location data harvested from ordinary apps installed on peoples’ phones around the world, and using it to unmask hackers. The company is a business, not a law enforcement agency, and claims to be able to track people to their “doorstep.”
The news highlights the complex supply chain and sale of location data, traveling from apps whose users are in some cases unaware that the software is selling their location, through to data brokers, and finally to end clients who use the data itself. The news also shows that while some location firms repeatedly reassure the public that their data is focused on the high level, aggregated, pseudonymous tracking of groups of people, some companies do buy and use location data from a largely unregulated market explicitly for the purpose of identifying specific individuals.

Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
DEVOS STATES LIKELY NO WAIVERS on FEDERAL TESTING OPTOUT REFUSETHETEST MCAs US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has informed states that they should not count on getting the same waivers from federal testing mandates for this school year that they got last spring as the pandemic shut down schools. In a Thursday letter to chief state school officers, DeVos said that these annual, summative assessments in English/language arts, math, and science are “at the very core” of the bipartisan agreement behind the Every Student Succeds Act, the main federal K-12 education law. And at a time when vulnerable students have been hurt the most by the pandemic, such tests are “among the most reliable tools available to help us understand how children are performing in school.” “It is now our expectation that states will, in the interest of students, administer summative assessments during the 2020-2021 school year, consistent with the requirements of the law and following the guidance of local health officials,” DeVos wrote. “As a result, you should not anticipate such waivers being granted again.” DeVos’ letter is not especially surprising. In July, Assistant Secretary for Planning, Evaluation, and Policy Development Jim Blew told reporters that the Department of Education’s “instinct” at the time was not to give out those waivers again. But DeVos’ letter to states does make it clear what the department’s position is going forward. Of course, the department’s position could eventually change if Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden wins the Nov. 3 election. As a candidate, Biden has criticized standardized tests. The letter does not completely shut the door on such waivers being granted again, since the secretary does not say unequivocally that they won’t be approved again no matter what. But it’s bad news for states like Georgia and Michigan that over the summer indicated their desire for such a waiver. The letter squares with DeVos’ push for schools to excel during the pandemic without special favors or exemptions from federal mandates. In the letter, DeVos also says that “necessity is the mother of intention” and that it may be time for states to rethink their traditional assessment systems and consider forms of testing like competency and mastery-based assessments. And she also left some wiggle room for states to change how these tests factor into things such as school ratings, telling states, “We are open to discussions about what, if any, actions may be needed to adjust how the results of assessments are used in your state’s school accountability determinations.” To support her position, DeVos pointed to groups that have recently called for states to “stay the course” on annual testing despite the impact of the coronavirus on schools. And she highlighted a survey by the Data Quality Campaign from late April and early May showing that 89 percent of parents “are interested in information about how school closures and other COVID-19-related interruptions affected students’ long-term outcomes.” Asked for a response to DeVos’ Thursday letter, Carolyn Phenicie, a spokeswoman for the Council of Chief State School Officers, referred us to the group’s statement in July, which read: “We recognize that COVID-19 and its impact on our education system is ever-evolving. CCSSO stands ready to continue supporting every state in navigating these unique circumstances and providing educators with access to the high-quality, relevant tools necessary to measure student academic progress and inform decision-making now and in the future.” Read DeVos’ letter below:
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
PARENTS BEWARE, is sex on the school calendar in your district?
All year long there is a day, week, or sometimes even month set aside to promote sexual ideology. Many public schools advertise and promote these national and international events.
When you look at these events listed together in the info graph posted below, the picture becomes very clear. There is a real and persistent agenda aimed at sexualizing our children and pushing dangerous and harmful transgender ideology on them.
Schools need to go back to teaching academics and stop inundating our children with sexual content.
Parents, it is time to show up and speak up to protect our kids. If we don’t, who will?
And some replies to this post:
some time in Aug is anal sexual awareness. I don’t think its the whole month. Maybe the last week, while the kids are getting back to school. Channel 1 used to promote it.
In our school in Winchester they are promoting this kind of crap.

I really can’t think of other scenarios. Like maybe hmmm…no I can’t think of any plausible reason why covid19 test kits would be purchased by member countries before covid19 was even known to be a thing. I really cannot see how this is not weird except for the fact that it it not hidden, but nothing is really that hidden, is it?

exactly, along with Belarus mentioning they would get 10x more money from the World Bank if they modeled themselves after Italy & extended lockdown measures, implemented curfews and mandated masks. He refused and outed them. The promise was initially $93 million to $930 million. Almost a BILLION dollars to perpetuate the fraud and destroy his economy… Gates’ “fundraisers” for B&MGF, GAVI & the WHO looking more like slush money campaigns for buying off member nations to play their role in this live “exercise.”
The corona program is starting to show its hand. I expect perhaps deliberately lifting the veil. A move soon ( now ) from the cover story Deception to ” it’s too late , we’ve done it “
If this info begins to gain any traction, they’ll add something crazy like linking it to a flat earther to discredit the whole story. At this point, I don’t think any amount of proof of prior planning will change the masses compliance levels. People are just too far gone. And yeah, they love to leave crumbs for us peons to find i.e., lifting the veil on purpose.
Yes, this live exercise has been planned over time, the Ghouls could turn it off in a minute.. .. OBEDIENCE TO TYRANNY IS NEVER PATRIOTISM .. .. The Ghouls of the Imperial West have outlived their usefulness. Every dog knows to get rid of their fleas. .. .. IT IS UP TO US .. .. Resist and Defend .. .. Bizarroland Confidential: The theme of this “live exercise” has been considered for over 100 years. Words, in public documents, spell out the timeline. In 2003, an episode of the Deadzone, embedded the story and vocabulary into people’s brains. In 2005 the UN, under the auspices of the WHO and signed by every member, proposed to hold a global exercise themed around a pandemic. Public meetings during this time show the plan progressing and the aim of the organizers. Vaccines mentioned so many times, constantly. In Fall of 2019, a team from the US military services and 172 athletes, receives their vaccines to attend the Wuhan World Military Games. Some of the athletes have a reaction to the vaccines, become symptomatic, and the active, agitated organism finds nearby hosts. .. .. at this point, it becomes a “live exercise”. Each nation had signed to participate within certain guidelines. .. .. In 1918, it was also the nations of the Imperial West that had the biggest numbers..
The MATRIX around us has evolved and operated since more than 250 years – Oppenheimers, Rockefellers, Warburgs, Rothschilds, Morgans, Kochs, Sachs, etc – they bought, created, merged, instilled, infiltrated while everybody was still asleep – in the meantime there are thousands of corporations, companies, philanderers and others operating from, through, by them, creating our future – and, we can never go back – the future came and goes now you cannot even follow it, that is how fast and complex this shit is folks.
Well, the OECD references the product codes and says they were not produced before the crisis. I still do not understand how they would create such codes retroactively.
are you saying that this test kit probably used to be called something else and has since been renamed as a COVID-19 kit and that’s changed the entry from 2017? Genuinely trying to understand what this is all about and what this means.
These two codes refer to all test kits of a certain kind, IE all antibody and PCR test kits The code allows customs to instantly know the class of object being imported It is likely that they changed the name to COVID-19 Test Kits to expedite processing through customs Customs see the COVID-19 stamp and lets it through instantly
It is for sure odd that it references Covid-19 in 2017. So- the standard inventory nomenclature references supplies which would make sense. (ie: we know countries have this many pcr plates or this many cotton swabs etc) but still trying to decipher HOW they can state this in 2017: “In 2017, Top exporters of COVID-19 Test kits are Switzerland ($23,684,716.51K , 2,538,500 Kg), Germany ($17,464,406.19K , 7,242,210 Kg), European Union ($16,940,789.16K , 8,953,990 Kg), United States ($8,283,146.64K , 7,020,260 Kg), Ireland ($6,356,054.92K , 590,259 Kg)”
Yes, see my article posted below, it clarifies the 2 codes used, and points to the source doc that defines the meaning of the codes. I found only 2 types of test codes on the WITS site, and two years where the test kits were shipped, only 2017 and 2018. I put together a very detailed spreadsheet, and from that file the data becomes very interesting to look at! The spreadsheet is downloadable from the article: https://www.thrivingagile.com/bombshell-256-trillion-spent-on-covid-19-test-kits-before-novel-virus-outbreak-world-bank/
So this WTO document references that HS Unit Number 300215 is for immunological products. It doesn’t reference Covid per se. So why would the World Bank add that language their database index? https://www.wto.org/english/news_e/news20_e/rese_03apr20_e.pdf
On that same page, the footnote says “Columns “ITA-Exp”, “Parma”, and “WCO” indicate if the HS codes are also part of the ITA Expansion, Pharmaceutical Agreement, or WCO HS Classification reference for Covid-19 medical supplies” So, 3000215 (the Covid-19 test kits) are part of the Pharma agreement and the WCO HS nomenclature). I guess I am trying to figure out this: Did they group a bunch of supplies together and name them “Covid-19 test kits” –BEFORE or AFTER Covid pandemic in 2020.
It does not appear that they would have re-designated the code for this purpose as it is part of a global set of standards that is updated as a whole every few years. Hard to imagine they would make a one-off change for such purposes.
it would make sense to re-label the code to make it easier/more obvious that any transport of COVID-19 related goods should be fast-tracked through customs, but I can’t find the evidence of the code being changed. It must exist, or these psychos are either brash or careless to an incredible degree.
Don’t forget the 2012 London Olympics, Opening Ceremonies. It’s all there.
I should have screen shot that darn page .. Didnt think they would edit it and change it so now it says Medical Diagnostic Test instruments and apparatus instead of Covid 19 test kits .
They did the same thing with the Wayback Machine saves of the United Nations New World Order Project. It now says United Nations New Economic Paradigm Project. (Luckily, we had archived it in other place, which still has the correct stuff.)
The one that says “Medical test kits” was the most recent. The other ones say “Covid”. Somebody changed it.

Cut ir not, tbeyll still get paid for as long as they still have you on tbe books. My agency demanded that i cut my part time work by 2 hrs EACH WEEK, because i cpuldnt make it to ” compulsory appointments”. Just an example of how it works. Than they charged me $10,000 under ROBODEBT) 4) chummy-chummy with David Toohey, head of Australias covid comission , on par with Jane Hulton and Nev Power. Was chummy with Toohey for AT LEAST a DECADE prior to CONVID 5) duel citizenship with Israel 6) founder of a wholova bunch of ” tech startups” which would ABSOLUTELY dig into government coffers just as ” work for the dole” so called ” start ups” did. Therese Rudd, who owned these ” work for the dole” agencies, the wife of an ex PM Kevin Rudd made an absolite KILLING on COMPULSORY requirements of Aus social security payments.

Benchling: Making a splash on the Next Billion Startups this year is the Life Sciences collaboration platform Benchling, which offers a suite of natively unified applications aimed at accelerating scientific research and development. With Benchling, scientists can design, share, and record experiments and even share DNA-sequence data in the cloud, from the discovery stage all the way to bioprocessing. Today, more than 215,000 scientists at companies like Pfizer and BP use Benchling to manage their projects and businesses with greater efficiency, transparency, and confidence – doubling the productivity of their R&D teams in the process. The company raised $34.5 million in Series C funding from Menlo Ventures last July to grow globally and to expand commercial relationships.

YOU SEE, EVEN AGRI- BIOLOGY OF THE SYNTHETIC TYPE, IS BEEING EVOLVED TOWARDS THE HUMAN GENOME DNA. If you read the 170 page pdf consisely, it should be clear where all this is headed. By reading, you will discover how they openly state it in this publication. And next to the picture below that they use, the following statement is: n high-profile cases heard before the US Supreme Court in 2013 and the High Court of Australia in 2015. Synthetic biology constructs are less likely to be judged products of nature and more likely to meet patent criteria such as being new, involving an inventive step, or resulting from a method of manufacture. Whilst synthetic biology is likely to lead to many patentable products and processes there is also considerable emphasis in the synthetic biology research community on the open source model, particularly in the development of standards, components and platforms for research (McLennan, 2012). The open-source approach has been pioneered by the Biobricks Foundation. The BioBrick Public Agreement provides researchers a means to licence use of components on open-source principles. In addition, the foundation’s Open Material Transfers Agreement (OpenMTA) is one of a number of efforts to facilitate the transfer of materials between researchers (Chapter 1, Box 2). The open-source model is associated with the effort to create technical standards and platforms to facilitate cooperation across the field. At present, despite the efforts of organisations such as the BioBricks Foundation and iGEM to encourage standardisation, activity in synthetic biology is not tightly constrained by a single set of widely adopted standards. Concern has been expressed that such an outcome could constrain future research, as well as enable it (Torrance and Kahl, 2013). Other authors have argued that nation states may need to play a role in ensuring that the synthetic biology landscape that emerges as a result of efforts towards standardisation is a genuine commons and not one that gives excessive power to individual players, as has been seen in the emergence of dominant platforms on the internet (Grewal, 2017)”
The forced destruction of economies worldwide aimes for obtaining a pool of desperate slaves, robbed of income, forced receivers of dole and as such ready to be exploited and abused. And also ready to have taken their kids into state custody.
In a few simple words: If they manufacture synthetic plant (food) and there is nothing natural on the shelf, you are forced to eat synthetics. By doing so, you need the other “jab” to survive. That is it. The publication itself is a look towards 2030 and beyond. Basta Pasta.

Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Must read if your school is requiring an app for test proctoring. AI fails Suspicion scores …”Jared Nielsen, an assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, initially used Proctorio to proctor exams for an upper-level psychology course early this year that was held partly in person and partly online before the pandemic took hold in the US. He explained that after each test the software provides instructors with a suspicion level of 0 to 100% for each student: On one exam, out of 49 students in the class, two-thirds were rated above 90%. The student who appeared least suspicious to the software received a 53%, he said. After his teaching assistants reviewed those results, he emailed nine students who had been flagged for suspicious behavior such as staring off screen for a short period of time. Each student responded lengthily and, in his estimation, sincerely, that they had no idea they were doing anything wrong. Some offered to redo the exam in his office. He apologized….”

They gotta get every child into the mental health databases with benign diagnosis like ‘adjustment d/o nos” all the way to ptsd . if a parent or school official even calls a mental health provider seeking services for a child, if enough info is provided, a diagnosis will be generated right at that one phone call whether the child is ever seen or not. This is for insr purposes which ties data to everything else. These diagnosis will follow the child for life..even if it was simply bc of a family move to a new home that may have caused some temporary stress. Future activities such as certain jobs, firearm ownership, etc can be disrupted all from a normal adjustment issue that everyone experiences .

I have been disturbed by the growing focus on SEL in the classroom and the suggestion that teachers gather “data” regarding a student’s behavior….without parental knowledge. The teacher does not have mental health training but that does not stop the request that they essentially do an “inventory” of their students. And this is for ALL students not just students whose behavior has been identified as cause for concern. YUCK! I send my kids to school to learn…..not to be programmed or sorted according to personality traits.

Once you grasp the importance of educational data-mining to human capital markets, the placement of Teach for America alumni after their 2-3 year stints into positions at Goldman Sachs, etc. makes a lot of sense.
And some replies to this post:
Once you understand the whole concept of a “new workforce” model, based on data capturing, data analysis, data predictions and data modification for expectation of performance, then everything else falls into place. In other words, people will be programmed to work like robots in real time, till death. Unlike any workforce ever created before. All controlled by AI.
are you familiar with McKinsey’s program of Deliverology? I have been looking into that – Pearson (online education), Sir Michael Barber, and Tony Blair. Governor of RI’s husband was colleagues with Barber and pushing the “deliverology” program.
This is just another way of cleverly speaking: SMART CONTRACTS. Don’t be fooled by the jargon. At the end of the day, they want to place expectations, outcomes, based on modelling and predictions, with sets of rules that are managed on a blockchain, a smart contracts blockchain.
Data is the new GOLD, and the NGA and CCSSO simply are data raping our children. Taking their 4th Amendment rights and infringing on their “intellectual property” for the benefit of crony Capitalists using our own tax dollars.
I still have difficulty grasping the connection between Teach for America and educational data mining. I do know that the alumni are considered a rather elite group (family members are alums; one now works for the State Dept. So bizarre, because their parents are/were “radicals”).
Teach for America had a definite leftist ring to it because it was all about working for very little, but serving an under-served population. Teach for America jobs, like those at Green Peace, were popular, but only kids from wealthy families could afford to take them. The rest of us had to pay rent. Really, these organizations only bandaged the ills created by the elites, but people working for them could feel virtuous.
I get that, def. (My sister and husband were professors at Berea College in KY and received excellent tuition exchange benefits for their kids; all 3 attended “elitist” colleges). Allison tried to explain the workings behind Teach for America. Is it for mining the education of the lower classes?🥴🤔
All I know is that I could not afford to work for the “liberal” organizations (and I should have said “liberal” instead of “leftist” since the liberality was the appeal for me). I did well in school, so I attended Columbia University in NY and the University of Chicago; but these schools are really traps, at least, as I see things now. I discovered that I wanted the elite education, but not the jobs that went along with it. For most of us smart, but poor and middle-class kids, elite education offered social/economic upward mobility. After all, there were very, very, very few rich kids in graduate school . . .
every child has a unique ID number that is tied to each teachers SSN.
So is it the “eliteness” of the TFA interns, and the lower classes of students that offers the perfect environment for data mining/blockchain hedge betting?
what gets me is that these kids ( basically what they are…I know one) are put in low income schools and they are not even teachers…data, data, data, I heard that word a few times…
Here is a post from talk show host Tara Gowen Fricano:
Here is a post from Tim Brown, host of Setting Brushfires. This exposes the satanic ties to both Black Lives Matter (being taught in schools) and Karl Marx as well as the Great Reset and the danger of a cashless society, plus talking about the globalist attack upon the food supply:
The Witches Of BLM & The Great Reset: What They Have In Common Recently, it was disclosed that the Marxists behind the Black Lives Matter movement have been conjuring up spirits, something that is expressly forbidden in the Scriptures. They do this because at the heart of Marxism is not atheism, but occultic paganism. A lesser-known issue, The Great Reset, has been reported for some time now in the alternative media while largely ignored in the mainstream media. It has far more to do with a resetting of man’s consciousness than it does with a financial reset. Both of these things, BLM and The Great Reset have a commonality. Find out what that is as Alex Newman from The New American joins me for this episode.
It just struck me that the concept of an HMO – health maintenance organization – was always about setting up chronic illness management pathways – now for IoT impact investing / surveillance. Kaiser Permanente has been a player in it since the 1940s, but ramped up in the 1970s with the rebound of technocratic governance.
If you consider the planned economic impact of digital health sectors anticipated by Israel below – the trajectory seems pretty consistent. Our bodies are their profit centers. Many chronic illnesses arise from environmental exposures or social determinants of health, and there is a lead time between enacting disease-inducing policies and having illness symptoms manifest. Corporate interests have sowed the seeds of illnesses in abundance – physical and mental. Now they have the devices they need to monitor us all and capture the impact data. I really wonder if all that is written down somewhere….

Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
HOUSE FILE 1: CALL YOUR LEGISLATOR! This 35-page bill which is one of the most far-reaching bills ever authored in Minnesota. Here’s more detail: H1 covers children, parents, childcare, business, schools, babies in schools, home visits, workforce development, childcare start ups. We even discovered a legislative-funded organization that implements UN sustainable development goals. Read… Ask questions… If we don’t speak up, no one will! Make your calls and thank you!
Slowly but surely, there is a inventory of all people, animals, plants, goods, services and non-tangible assets to be placed on the global blockchain. This is what I was telling you when we first met. Countries have been placing an inventory of all they have on blockchains and are just waiting for ID and cashless societies so that they can then “manage” the rationing of resources to those that meet social credentials.
The massive Utah Data Center is small compared to the corporate data storage. And the governments of the world can just buy it all.
“The UN Secretary-General’s High-level Panel on Digital Cooperation, in its report published on June 10th 2019, recommends (as 1B) “broad and multi-stakeholder participation in global efforts to facilitate the creation and sharing of digital public goods, defined as open source software, open data, open AI models, open standards and open content that adhere to privacy and other applicable best practices, do no harm and are of high relevance for attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”.”
Financing new DPGs and helping new sustainability models emerge As it becomes clearer where new and adapted technologies are most needed, various modalities will be explored for incentivizing the development of, upkeep and new iterations of digital public goods. Resources from existing mechanisms for funding digital public goods, such as the UNICEF Innovation Fund, will be leveraged. This will include both traditional donor or private sector funding and support, as well as blockchain-based solutions for connecting needs, contributors, and incentives in a more distributed way.”

Covid-19 Fingerprick Test on Blockchain Minnesota, These kinds of tests in public, charter or private schools are starting to roll in. Know what this is about ahead of time! My public comment submitted to the Board of Chula Vista Elementary School District in Chula Vista, California, on the September 9, 2020 vote to approve the MOU with Kahala Biosciences for COVID-19 testing on blockchain.
Dear Members of the Board: My name is [name redacted] I urge you NOT to approve the consent calendar for item “B” which is for the Memorandum of Understanding with Kahala Biosciences LLC to Develop a COVID-19 Testing and Tracing Program. Chula Vista Elementary School District’s misguided path towards Stakeholder Capitalism and Public-Private Partnerships is setting up our communities of marginalized children and families to be bought and sold on the Social Impact Bond market where poverty pays dividends. This Public-Private Partnership with Kahala Biosciences goes against the NAACP resolution in opposition to the use of blockchain identity which states in part: “Consolidation of personal data in Blockchain identity systems will position the global poor who receive benefits via smart contracts to become data backbones upon which “impact” metrics would rest, in effect amplifying investment wealth of elite investors on the backs of vulnerable communities; and WHEREAS, researchers have warned of the harms of relying on Blockchain systems, given the immutable nature of the technology that would mean false data and/or embedded vulnerabilities would never fully be able to be reversed, remedied, redacted, nor deleted.” This MOU would allow for Kahala Biosciences ADIONA™ COVID-19 antibody testing platform, which integrates with a blockchain-based smartphone software application, to use our children, teachers, and staff as free test subjects without informed consent of the ramifications and harm of such a biocapitalist-biosecurity system to our communities. While no one could predict the COVID-19 Pandemic, the pattern of capitalizing on disasters on the backs of marginalized communities is well documented. Your vote on this will be a public record which places you on the right or wrong side of history. I urge you to vote wisely; the world is watching.
SHAME on Braley University in Peoria, Illinois for implementing this stupidity:

Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
I submitted an opt out form and was sent a doctor signature form along with an email saying your child must wear a mask. Today in Art he was told to draw himself in a mask. He didn’t include the mask and the teacher refused him his art work but gave everyone else back. He is constantly being told he doesn’t care about others since he doesn’t like to wear a mask. I’d love some suggestions for when I go to complain about what they are doing. I also am disgusted that no parents are allowed in the room… what the heck.
tonight I said I’ll with draw you next week and he didn’t want me to tell on them or complain cause he said they’ll talk about him when he’s gone and he has all his friends there …he’s intimidated. Didn’t want to be used as their bad example of those who don’t care about others.
And another post from this group:
My daughter was given a pre-test in her English class. I found it very disturbing and have contacted her teacher and administration and voiced my daughter will not be taking this pre-test. More desensitization, this one from Alpine school district. With all the mental health issues our children face why on earth should they be subject to violence and violent suggestions!? Not to mention illegal acts! *there were questions she was to answer but i didn’t have access to them to see where they were relating it with the story.
And some replies to this post:
What grade is your daughter in?
7th
I don’t even understand what they could be trying to teach with this. Surely there are better pieces of writing that aren’t about such twisted acts.
Sickening. Selfish. Disturbed. To destroy someone’s defenseless precious companion, and not to mention it’s an attack on a disabled person. If students write anything this disturbing, teachers or admin suggest counseling for them –– I would suggest the admins send this teacher to attend some counseling for sure.
My friends daughter had to write a paper on how murder is justified. The word wasn’t self defense it was murder. My friend didn’t have a problem with it either. This was several years ago and she was in 9th or 10th grade. I was appalled
I saw something similar in my sons school last year. Unfortunately, I didn’t see it until the end of year when they sent all the papers home. Definitely learned my lesson to watch assignments much closer
I had to read The Stone Boy for a final when I was a freshman, and The Scarlet Ibis. Those two make this look like a pleasant bedtime story. I never have figured out why teachers always seem to gravitate to the most disturbing literature they can find. I guess some has some worth, if it makes you think, like The Lottery, that is messed up, but has a point.
It’s like an amateur tried to blend the Tell-Tale Heart and Crime and Punishment in to one horrible story. Most definitely not appropriate for any age, in my opinion.
This is just one of many assignments being sent out to our children I’m sure. We need to keep posting these, keep a file of them, make copies, and get the word out to our neighbors! People just don’t realize what is happening and rarely as parents do we see our kids assignments. What can we do? I pulled my 6th grader out of the district but still have one in 11th grade. _–
definitely! Especially with most assignments done online even when “in-person”. Had i not been checking on all her assignments i would have never known. She told me that it was uncomfortable to read and she didn’t like the story so she didn’t take the test part, if she had i wouldn’t have come across it in her “to-do” file for her School work on CANVAS.
exactly!! I had a similar experience when my son got behind on his work so the teacher sent it home and I was able to see it. It was over a year ago. I am sure it’s even worse now. How can we get a hold or see what these schools are indoctrinating our kids with? At the time I requested to the teacher to send me the curriculum – I think it was for history. She sent me the google files. So just an idea- if you ask- they might send it to you to review.
What???!!!!! I think that is what this pre-test was to grade for comprehension. So disgusting. Why?! Do teachers have a choice in what they assign?
UPDATE Got a response from my daughter’s teacher, still no word from the principal*** [name redacted] ***** does not need to take the pretest. The pretest was designed by the 7th grade team in order to see where students are at in their reading skills (making connections and inferences, story elements, etc.) so we know what we need to work on during our first unit. While this pretest was specific to our first unit, ***** will also be taking the Lexia reading test. I can use those results to gauge where she is at. I do not feel that the story promotes violence against pets. The main character is not intended to be a likeable character. Furthermore, he is caught by the police, and although it does not say it in the story, it can be inferred that he will subsequently be arrested for his crime. The story is a 7th grade text, and conflict in stories helps to open up discussions. However, we will be discussing the story as a team for future use.
And yet another post from this group:
I am upset and wasn’t sure where else to post this and hoping someone else maybe has found their child’s work inappropriate like i have. My son is in 5th grade, he’s 10 years old and we’ve been doing distance learning and he’s in the granite school district. I was helping him last night in his history class. I clicked on an assignment about election 2020. It goes into detail about where each candidate stands on the subjects. Racial justice, climate change, pandemic response. It goes into talking about blm and George Floyd as well as how white people make more money than black people. Also asking about the national conventions and how trump is a racist. Is anyone else seeing this type of school work and feel it super inappropriate to teach a 10 year old? I feel like its brain washing. Ill post some pictures I took of his assignment. This isn’t history it would be current political affairs.
And some replies to this post:
My kinder has been given stuff on how bad germs are and color a mask. I didn’t have him do any of it. I had to explain to my kinder why germs are good as he tells me how hates them….. so frustrating. This stuff is not for teachers to teach. People are not dirty and disgusting (most of the time) and as hygiene is important, being a germaphobe is not healthy….
Wow. Thats insane! My kids are terrified to go without a mask incase they get germs.
Who do I yell at? I’m pitchfork ready. Sad thing is a lot of great teachers are getting out of education because everything is culminating against them. If they don’t want to go along with this twilight zone level of craziness they will either get mocked profusely or have to self deport
Here’s the truth. I have two patients who are teachers in the Granite school District. And I’ve heard from others. One of them is very outspoken against this sort of crap and says she thinks she is the only Trump supporter out of all the teachers and colleagues she’s met. She seriously is on the borderline of quitting altogether because of how crazy it’s getting. She says all the administrators are far left How do we let this happen in Utah? How in the world is this happening?
Retired 25+ year history teacher here (including Constitution for half that time). It’s not just about pushing one’s own political views, it’s a gross violation of good teaching standards. These events are CURRENT events, not HISTORY. Common Core is indoctrination and social engineering. HOMESCHOOL!!
Not that what I’m about to say, hold any water. But parents I would pull Your kids out of school. Make your own curriculum, tell The district to shove it, and keep them out of the public schools. My son and his friends are now 19-20-21. If I would have known how they were being indoctrinated (I knew) just to how badly, I did not I would have pulled my kids long ago , I beg you do not let them do this. It’s grooming them to give up Their rights. Easily. We must stop it and you as the parents are the first line of defense. Trust me if you leave them in it will be much harder if not impossible to reverse their thinking. Trust me I know, my sons are liberal/Marxist/ This home is 100% conservative/constitutionalist Christian. No way did they learn it from us,

Sooo…the Overdeck Foundation (John Overdeck of the Two Sigma Investment Fund and one of New Jersey’s richest people) just put $1.2 million into LENA technology for 2020-21. This is poverty management via digital surveillance of families. This is the aftermath of Covid. This has been planned all along. This is human capital bond(age). “A parent or teacher places a LENA device in his or her children’s LENA vest and records an entire day of the child’s sound environment.[24] The device is then connected to a computer with special software that processes the recording into data metrics including the child’s exposure to verbal stimulation, the number of child utterances, and other information. ” https://overdeck.org/grantmaking/grantee-listing/
“Texas Children’s Hospital is the first regional healthcare center to adopt the model.”
Overdeck also put $1.5 million into Waterford Upstart online pre-k. Waterford Institute Project Support – UPSTART $1,500,000 2019 – 2021 Active
Really their whole grant list is stomach churning once you know what the plan is.

Here is a post from the Washington anti-radical sex ed page:
Why is it called a blow job? What is 69? Is it perverted to get turned on watching porn? Those are just some of the questions OSPI thinks is perfectly acceptable for teachers to discuss with your 12 and 13-year-old children. To close the activity they ask: “Which questions, if any, made you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable?” (And make them uncomfortable again?) and “How comfortable do you think you would be discussing these questions with a parent/guardian?”(Once again, teachers inserting themselves between children and their parents.) From Our Whole Lives, Grades 7-9
And some replies to this post:
With these questions, are teachers/facilitators given specific answers they are supposed to guide students towards or is any answer okay? Just wondering how much further the curriculum takes these questions.
I watched an open session in Olympia. They stated it was up to the teacher to to go as far as he wanted. During the session principals that were attending were very concerned because the curriculum didn’t have a set Manuel for teachers to teach from. It was totally up to the teacher – they could encourage and go as far as the kids are interested.
I asked for the syllabus from the class and it was pretty bad so I gave my child permission to get up at anything that made him uncomfortable and teachers weren’t happy but he chose to walk out and we discussed all his work
Teachers DO send kids to websites including Scarlateen. In fact, they’re instructed to have the IT disable the firewall so they can access them. Scarlateen’s founder wrote the S.E.X. book that tells teens about BSDM, fisting, and blood play and is displayed on their home page. You can see more curriculum examples on our website. https://www.scarleteen.com/
the curriculum for 12 year olds in California…. yeaaaa our kids are never going to public school. If ANY adult brings up even ONE of these questions to my child they are going to catch these hands man!!!!!!!!

Everything about that is dangerous. That completely outlines every single classification needed by an AI machine in order to identify you, identify your physical location with time stamp, your thought patterns, your emotional demeanor, is able to analyze your intent, predict your behavior and actions, intervene in actions not suited to the AI, nudge you in the direction the AI wants you to move towards. The AI machine would reward and punish you for every action you take. The AI would control your input and output. Would guide you in performing tasks. Would notify other (nearby) people of your actions and advocate for them to intervene in your actions or suffer penalties for non-compliance. I could go on and on. There would be no freedom whatsoever. In the meantime, there are gamblers on the sidelines making bets on your behavior and treating you as a token in the crypto space. You will be a commodity like cattle to sold and bought to the highest bidder. You’ll be placed in tiered pools of prospective investments. You’ll be mined and harvested on-demand for specialized human resources and discarded when no longer in demand. You’ll be herded into coding camps for the discovery of high-value talent and the rest relegated to part-time massively competing on-demand gig jobs. This is ONLY the tip of the iceberg. What is actually coming is far far worse. Your children are being conditioned to build a slave world for robotics and transhumanist cyborgs. This is all part of the 4IR – Great Reset aka – Technocracy.

open-source sounds good, in a free society, but we are not in a free society. The whole concept of “open-source” is that the code is made public for all to see and for all to contribute to it’s development. That’s supposed to make the software “transparent”. But, in reality, that is NOT the case. 1) The code is usually under some limited license. People can code and see it’s openess, but the code belongs to a corporation. 2) Because it belongs to a corporation, the corporation is getting FREE coding for a product it put out as “open-source”. They own the code, but the public freely built it and no one got paid for it. 3) when these open-source code get written, the libraries they use are NOT open-source, so it can still have hidden code that no one is aware of.. so it is deceptful. 4) “Open-source” makes it look open and honest but is often NOT. In the end, the program gets built by coders that have their code APPROVED by the company that is hosting the code. So, it’s guided and ends up not being the code it set out to become. 5) The company can take the openess of the code later and close it, AFTER it has been developed or even start selling it. Also, if you want to use it, you have to get a license to use it. 6) It’s riddled with lots of loops and holes and dishonesty. 7) Many companies are now expecting that you have open-source code experience before they will hire you. So in other words, you must give away your labor to some company for free if you want to be placed on a leaderboard for job placement. I hope that gives a short summary, off the top of my head. _________–
We’ve been primed for several decades now to worship computers and everything hi tech, there are many kids who cannot talk to one another, can only communicate by texting.
found your explanation of open-source coding very interesting. In fact, it seems to parallel a phenomenon in education here in Maine. You see the Maine Department of Education hired 400 teachers this spring to work on a digital platform for a complete k-12 curriculum that consists of project modules that can be completed on-line. Teachers have been tasked with creating a module that if approved will earn them a stipend. I was curious about this “arrangement” so I asked the teachers about who owns the module/project that they create. Teachers in my local district had previously pushed back against our local administrations efforts to get teachers to put their intellectual property essentially on line for the benefit of others. Teacher resisted in our district and the issue was dropped. I was told that the teachers that are working on the state digital platform were told that the platform is being done under a “creative commons” license. The teachers participating would have agreed to the terms presented under that arrangement. Upon researching this “creative commons” license, it sounds an awful lot like what you are describing in the open source coding. The only think guaranteed to the teacher is that they will get their measly one time payment (I think it is $1,000) and be given credit, but that beyond that the state can essentially adapt or modify the teacher’s work. SO much for getting royalties!!!! Depending on the specifics/terms of the creative commons license it is possible that the state could also sell the platform commercially. The name “creative commons” sounds so collaborative, but in my mind it is actually a means of exploiting the intellectual property of a teacher for future uses. And of course, the pandemic made the circumstances ripe to ask teachers to volunteer to work on this project that would help to guarantee education during these trying times and in the future for remote learning. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/?fbclid=IwAR22CrMjeuqhGFeQpMijpLRMwKy5WNPyEIYrIV0YN1THRvYezMfiHF68VwQ
sorry to hear that the state is paying so little. This is exactly the issue I have with “open-source” projects. The host is able to present projects as open-source for volunteers to work on projects and then keep the benefits of the low-wage or free labor. That same project then is shared with the hosts’ associates and customers and the volunteers never get any royalty. It’s a giant scam. There are many creators that make content and never see a penny for their labor. Of course some don’t mind but then those are usually kids living with parents that don’t have the responsibility of making a living and paying bills. For the rest, it’s a race to the bottom.
HP is behind the Open Education Resource program – they will be the ones to benefit most.
yes, and they use personality traits as metrics to guage a person’s potential ROI, as does most other large impact investment industries.
Getting teachers to create digital curriculum and train the AI that will take their jobs is cheap. We’re in a post wage labor, post industrial, even post consumer economy now.
Oh….trust me I know. Try to convince the teachers of this. Too many just think they are lending a helping hand to help deal with the pandemic….even though the signs that this has always been the plan pre-existed the pandemic. Near impossible to fight this rising tide. Even the teachers turn on you when you suggest they are helping to outsource their jobs in the future. Crazy.

This is horrific. I can’t believe they want to do this for kids under 5. “One of the major challenges faced by children is their engagement and motivation to learn” – huh, really? In kids under 5? Have these people ever spent time with a 2 or 3 or 4 year old? We already know young kids learn best through play, but this VR thing is a warped, passive simulation of real play which necessarily involves real interaction with all the senses in the real world. I’m so outraged this is being funded and promoted by UNICEF.

These elements build the core for a human trained artificial intelligence. «LearnIn» is based on a global open-source digital campus, designed to empower communities to learn, research, reflect on their learning path, share knowledge, promote their know-how, and collaborate on projects. Remarkable achievements, user engagement or collaboration, can get rewarded with tokens. As a solution to enable also under-banked or unbanked learners’ access to paid parts of educational offerings, the LearnIn-Token will be backed-up with real value as a stable coin and can then function as an exchange voucher.”
“The LearnIn initiative came at the right time. The situation with COVID-19 in our country has shown how vulnerable the education system is and the difficulties in realizing distance learning (for teachers, students, parents, for all educational institutions).It was necessary to do something urgent.” Mitko Cheshlarov, Head of Sector for Curricula, North Macedonia”

I’m sure. Turns out 201 Mission Street is right around the corner from the Salesforce Headquarters.
Good effing grief! 201 Mission is also right by HQ of Bechtel Corp. The world’s largest engineering/construction firm, my first job out of college, lasted 15 months in that hell=hole.
You know it makes a difference to be able to go to these places and SEE what is surrounding them. Context is everything.
You know Bechtel is funding all sorts of K12 “character education” programs these days – even managing recess in poor school districts via Play Works.
It’s vitally important that people understand children are being groomed for cyber-military careers where the battlefront will be the entire world 24/7. Child soldiers will be linked to digital devices. I don’t think the anti-war / peace movements are catching onto this transition. It is linked to “smart” city roll out. Military operations will be deployed against domestic populations as much as any outside perceived “threat.” ReadyNation, featured here, also has ties to the human capital bond hedge fund market via Robert Dugger / Tudor Investments. They will structure pay for success training deals that compel children, especially “opportunity youth,” to code and secure the global panopticon. They will use online apprenticeship programs and defense contractors will get tax breaks for it.

This makes me want to throw up. Now it all makes sense why there has been this push to disconnect from nature and be addicted to technology. It’s deliberate like everything else (including making us all sick and stupid with toxic crap in everything we eat, drink, and breathe). Come on mothers… protect your children!

“In order to keep pace with innovation and engage commercial technological expertise, the DoD created the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental (DIUx). Headquartered in Mountain View (CA), DIUx aims to establish innovative public-private partnerships in order to leverage emerging commercial technologies and address shared military challenges.” Hmmmm….that sounds pretty ominous.
Allegedly US$ 21 Trillion has been embezzled through HUD and the DOD over the past few decades in accounting fraud. Some experts conclude it might be up to US$ 90 Trillion in order to fund this stacked system of IoT/Weather Warfare/DEW and the Space Fence. Remember they plan to have us all suspended in a militarized electric field that is the Internet of Things. Experts also say that there is zero oversight over DOD or any other government accounting.Transhumanism and Technocracy loop into what some refer to as the Secret Space Program, i.e. the space program from the 60s went underground with embezzled funds intended for private profit,
This same generation that is being primed for entering coding and robotics for securing their and our panopticon, are also being molded into unquestioning obedience through forced masking and social distancing for nearly 8 hour days. That’s creating a miserable life for the most vulnerable of the human capital bond markets. By then by the time they’re adults, most will lack the capacity to acknowledge what an aberration and wasteland their lives have become.
many are excited, they see it as progress and new recruitment opportunities for the young. In the UK, army recruitment groups have always moved into deprived areas with vast unemployment, is this a planned demolition of the economy to gain access to more desperate people in dire straits?
The entire Covid Reset is market shaping for global poverty management.
You are correct, the anti-war movement is stuck in the past. Most peace activists are old. Young people have been conditioned to see racism and sexisms as the only problems and ignore militarism.
They are embedding the military further into our lives, our young are prime targets and the schools are opening the doors to this. The anti-war movement should consist of parents now at the school gates.

While I’ve been following the history of “government education” for the past 150 years and seeing it become more and more of the nature of indoctrination camps for NuWrldOdor goals, I’ve not kept up with these precise details – have been suspicious of “STEM” programs for a while – will look further into this and likely share reference to it in upcoming “Back to School 2020: What Parents Should Know” vid series — delayed due to my preparing to support homeschool and more and more things coming out like CSE, “critical race theory”, the horrors of Common Core like pornographic material and drag queen story hours, gender dysphoria and forced vax and quarantine plans from schools, etc… – guess I just need to stop, draw line in sand and share as best as I’m able to raise more awareness – we MUST be able to look ourselves in the mirror and know we did our best to protect our children and turn around their usurped liberties, freedoms and constitutional rights… ❤

Here is a post that was shared in the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
A “question” that came over our 16yr old’s zoom schooling out of Stevenson, WA.
Make this go viral. This isn’t schooling, this is gauging an individual’s psychological demeanor so the “schooling” can verify who submits to “authority” and who could potentially be a threat to the system. This is testing before mass conditioning.
What pisses me off further is the situation implies no self defense. No arms. It literally proposes killing your own child as a viable solution to the situation vs being armed and rebelling against said “soldiers”.
Where’s the answer option that says shoot them in the face? Fight to the end. No, apparently you should kill your own to save yourself.
Update- School superintendent was contacted and immediately found issue with this. The “lesson” has been pulled and is being looked into. We are pushing for full disclosure of the purpose/intent of this “lesson” as well as how it was to be graded and WHERE that information was going after being collected.

CASPER SURVEYS COME TO MINNESOTA: HEALTH OFFICIALS BEGIN STATEWIDE COVID-19 SURVEYS and FREE TESTS Why do they want as many people to test as possible? It drives up the positive test cases since most of these people have had the virus and are asymptomatic. More cases = Lockdowns coming. News Release: Health officials begin statewide COVID-19 survey of Minnesota households Minnesota Department of Health sent this bulletin at 09/15/2020 02:04 PM CDT Health officials begin statewide COVID-19 survey of Minnesota households Survey includes free COVID-19 testing and will assist in responding to COVID-19 in Minnesota The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is conducting a voluntary statewide survey between Sept. 14 and Sept. 30 as part of an ongoing effort to better understand the prevalence of COVID-19 in Minnesota. The modified Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response, or CASPER, survey will include a household questionnaire as well as free virus and antibody testing for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Information learned from the survey will help health officials and others who are part of the COVID-19 response make decisions that best meet the needs of our communities. “Through the CASPER survey, we hope to better understand how COVID-19 is spreading in Minnesota and how it is affecting people,” said Dr. Ruth Lynfield, MDH state epidemiologist. “With a new virus, we have to learn as we go and adapt our response based on new data. Information we gather in this survey will allow us to refine our recommendations to best meet the needs of our Minnesota communities in the prevention of COVID-19.” The goals of the survey are to: Understand how COVID-19 has spread in Minnesota communities. Understand what caused COVID-19 to spread in certain areas. Explore how COVID-19 transmission and infection rates differ among regions in Minnesota. Identify the percentage of people infected with COVID-19 that have no symptoms. Improve health messaging and help stop COVID-19 spread. During the survey period, teams of public health professionals will visit randomly selected households in 180 preselected sites around Minnesota. After agreeing to participate, one member of the household will complete a questionnaire. All household members who consent can receive a COVID-19 test using a swab to test for current infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and an antibody test using a finger stick to draw a few drops of blood to see if someone has previously been infected with SARS-CoV-2. Participants with positive results for either test will be contacted by a nurse to receive additional information. All questionnaire responses and results will be kept private. “We encourage people to participate in the survey if their household is selected. Along with being able to receive free, in-home testing for current and past COVID-19 infection, this is a unique opportunity for people to help us learn more about the impacts of COVID-19 and aid in our efforts to fight this pandemic,” said Lynfield. The areas that teams will visit throughout the state are census blocks, used by the U.S. Census Bureau, and were selected using a sampling method that takes into account population size. Households were randomly selected within each area. Only households approached by the investigation teams are eligible to participate. Teams will be wearing facemasks, vests, and badges identifying them as members of the MDH COVID-19 Survey Team. CDC developed this CASPER approach as an evidence-based tool to assess community needs. The tool has been used to collect household information during public health emergencies such as hurricanes, oil spills, and the Zika virus outbreak. Several other states are also conducting COVID-19 CASPER surveys. The survey is funded through COVID Relief Funds that MDH received to conduct this survey and other studies—Legislative Advisory Commission 10-day Federal Coronavirus Relief Fund Review Order (PDF).

From our friends in New York NEW YORK — To avoid the possibility of a teachers strike, New York City reached an agreement with the United Federation of Teachers, which includes monthly COVID-19 testing AT school buildings. Under the school reopening agreement, educators and students are subject to random COVID-19 testing once in-person learning resumes on Sept. 21. Monthly random testing throughout the year, students without parental/guardian permission will be required to switch to remote learning only. Teachers that refuse to participate will be put on non-paid administrative leave.

You DO KNOW that Disney is the primary funder of the UNICEF Innovation Fund that is pushing the VR headset education, right?
Nope. But that sorta neatly folds into the concept: paedophiles seeking to mind control next generation— through cartoons. Just like they did since good ole Walt times. And Walt, if memory serves well, loved to hang around kiddies. Not saying it because i am biased—- quoting whatever i can remember from documentaries about Walt Disney. Him( and John Rockerfeller) were well known for their habit to leave guests at the party & go and ” play with the kids”( whatever TF it meant)
I’m aware of this. I’ve been getting notification for this for a week or so in my email. Sadly, the Unity game engine that I’ve been using for over a decade seems to heading down the SDG road. I hate it! It looks like stakeholder capitalism is permeating everywhere, especially for those businesses that are to survive this shit show. I would love to know what crap they are going to talk about though. I just might sign up.
Nubian VR used Unity for their “educational” software.
Permeating..everywhere… l stumbled across your account.. and .. l have learnt ..and looked into things..but.. this is so much deeper.. l am perplexed why others can’t see the tip of their nose…. this is the craziest time..ever… and MSM, a beer and Netflix has zombieland out humanity….. God help us. Amen.
when people start to look under the layers of finance and the tech that promotes and implements it, they start to see a pattern that is a bit disturbing. People soon discover that there is a massive amount of exploitation and corruption and in some cases, the corruption is baked into the algorithms that drive the mechanism. Even as a programmer in the game industry, I remember having to bake-in algorithmically rigged outcomes for games that rewarded with money. This is the norm in all of business. So what we see here is a new and more advanced system of servitude that will tax us and steal and exploit us at every turn of the day, in real-time. A stakeholder’s dream come true. This is what we’re trying to warn about.

Maine is launching its SEL curriculum Using Evolution Labs. Too early to know what the “curriculum” consists of, but Evolution Labs and Apex Learning partnered to trademark a “product” or platform known as Suite360, which appears to promote personalized SEL platforms with curriculum for school districts. The intro. by Evolution Labs actually references the World Economic Forum and robots replacing jobs in the future, so we need to essentially “emotionally train” our children to be prepared to work and live in a world where the jobs that will exist are yet “unimagined.” It is like listening to the pitch for personalized learning but it is for kids emotional “health.” Check it out. https://evpco.com/suite360
Here is Evolution Labs statement on why SEL matters: “Our economy is shifting from one based on manufactured goods to one based on ideas.By 2030, 85% of available jobs will be for positions not yet invented and over 2 billion current jobs will disappear- that’s about 50% of all jobs on the planet! How do we prepare our students for an unknowable future? While much is unclear, we do know that equipping students with social- emotional competence increases their likelihood of success. The importance of strong social skills will only increase as robots and automation change the landscape. The World Economic Forum and The National Bureau of Economic Research agree that to prepare for the future our focus must be on social skills. Emotional intelligence, a job skill not even on WEF’s list in 2015, jumped to #6 for 2020. Employers will seek those who can collaborate with others, adjust in relation to peers, and show sensitivity to people’s needs.“ At the rate we are going with the economic impact of the pandemic/lockdown…..yes, those jobs are going to be disappearing faster than anticipated or imagined and the tech sector will, with unending capital, usher in a new era of “ideas” (automation and robots that they will profit off as we allow our kids and ourselves to be used as guinea pigs. But hey, at least they are willing to help us regulate our behavior and emotions in reaction to all this change they are promoting!
do you know of the Unity Experiment Framework? UXF? “To provide behavioral researchers with the power of Unity and the convenience of programs such as PsychoPy, we created the Unity Experiment Framework (UXF). UXF is a software framework for the development of human behavior experiments with Unity and the main programming language it uses, C#. UXF takes common programming concepts and features that are widely used and are often reimplemented for each experiment, and implements them in a generic fashion (Table 1). This gives researchers the tools to create their experimental software without the need to redevelop this common set of features. UXF aims specifically to solve this problem, and it deliberately excludes any kind of stimulus presentation system, with the view that Unity (and its large asset-developing community) can provide all the necessary means to implement any kind of stimulus or interaction system for an experiment. In summary, UXF provides the “nuts and bolts” that work behind the scenes of an experiment developed within Unity.”
“The Immersive Cognition Laboratory The Immersive Cognition (ICON) Laboratory specialises in studying the processes underlying human sensorimotor learning and decision-making. Our research takes advantage of the unique capabilities afforded by immersive technologies (virtual and augmented reality)- technologies that we believe will transform the study of behavioural science over the next decade. Our programme lies at the intersection of psychology, computer science and engineering. We take a multidisciplinary approach towards furthering the scientific understanding of how the systems involved in action execution interact with the neural processes that facilitate reinforcement learning and action selection. We use this fundamental research to help drive forward solutions to real-world problems. Application areas include facilitating surgical performance and informing the development of human-like robot systems, through to developing state-of-art approaches for assessing cognitive and sensorimotor capacity for the world-leading Born In Bradford longitudinal research project housed in the Centre for Applied Education Research. Our research sits at the heart of the University of Leeds’s newly established Centre for Immersive Technologies, with state-of-art AR/VR/XR laboratories. We also benefit from the advanced computational infrastructure housed at the Leeds Institute of Data Analytics and the new Wolfson Centre for Applied Health Research. This website details our team, publications, and provides example projects and toolkits being developed by the group. Take a look around and use the contact page to get in touch.”

So the creepy thing here is that it was not easy to find out where this company is based. It took some poking around. Turns out it’s been around since 2000 or so and is based in Gloucester, UK. The neighboring town is Cheltenham, the home of GCHQ. [name redacted] to you remember the mom who chimed in about that. I don’t remember her name

And some replies to this post:
ATTENTION!!! Gloucester UK is an area of Forrest of Dean satanic coven, on of the most profolic UK satanic covens. Fred and Rose West, Pauline Chrichton & partners —- all Gloucester based. On my old phone ive had a screenshot: poster at the entrance to Glocestershire , someone graffitied ” Welcome to Paedo Central Glosestershire, home of Rose West & Pauline Crichton” on a welcoming sign
We also have the second largest Masonic Lodge in the UK here. If you look up Operation Tiberius, mafia were infiltrating state institutions via the lodges. So the police, HMRC, council offices were all being compromised.
What really annoys me is the heads are inviting all of this into the schools and they are mums too. They don’t consult the parents either, we have to find out via alternative media or our kids, and that all depends on them being old enough to understand and the ability to explain. It’s sickening. I guess the state really view them as their property.
i am absolitely positive that cops are all on it too— Fred was a caterer for the coven, deeper in Satanism & Kabbalah than fly in a horseshit.Rose was pimping 11 yo Anne Marie around the area for years, likely in Chrichtons pub, too. Cops all were Roses Johns and knew full well about dissapearing people in Wests house. 25 Midland Street just had human slavery ring busted literally less than 5 years ago—- which means traffickers still own that property even 30+ years after 8 yo Charmaine Wests murder and dismemberment which occured there. Stephen West was busted for paedophilia, John West hanged himself a day before he was to testify in mafia trial. This shit is spread thicker than the tar.
Also: VR is giving them , perhaps, one of the more unique identifiers: the iris scan. Iris scan+DNA= GUARANTEED report on genetic abnormalities, general health etc. Call me paranoid but ive mentioned Glocester coven because i wouldnt put the sumbliminals past these fuckers.
I just spoke to my husband, he said about a year ago there was a cargo container set up in Cheltenham to promote VR headsets, he can’t remember the name of the company.
REAL learning through experience is going on FIELD TRIPS and experiencing life in REAL LIFE! AR/VR should not be a substitute. That is robbing the children all the sensory experiences they need for development.
so are the masks and social distancing
i have to say having kids sit in side dirty cold petrie dishes for over 6 hours daily does the same damn thing
My friend and her husband have a VR headset, because their tech heads and love gaming. She said to me last year how they make you feel really disorientated afterwards. How on earth can this be allowed on toddlers is beyond me! Some evil 💩 right there 😢

From my 9th grader today 😂. Umm can a teacher flunk a kid for taking off their mask? 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Updated: the teacher backed off after my kid made that comment and allowed them to take masks off if they were six feet apart. But still. Don’t make threats! Hopefully this will empower other kids and parents to say “that’s not allowed”.

This is BIGGER than HUGE for the whole world! Kraken became the first crypto exchange to win a U.S. banking license this week. Here’s why that matters.
Yes I had posted information about that – Here is the vixen who worked on that agenda . Notice from Wall Street Oh that peace agreement UAE and Bahrain have agreements with Ripple and including Israel’s largest bank .
For anyone who is worried about unmasked children infecting/injuring older teachers, I’d like to point out that school systems have been forcing older teachers out in droves. The endgame of the 4IR is to replace face-to-face instruction with screens and these little robots. The coronapocalypse is the catalyst for a complete and fundamental transformation of education.
I have just discovered today our local high school is using google learning. I was talking about the reset intention for education to a friend and she informed me her son had received 100 points for doing his homework on line. She went on to say parents were happy their school had been chosen to do this as they thought their kids would get ahead. They are happily oblivious in the notion that their money had bought them some kind of priveledge. None of them including the teachers have any idea what is going on and what the plan is. My friend is now more enlightened and horrified. It’s happening now in the UK. They were even doling out free laptops during lockdown. We are going into lockdown again in the UK and you can be sure that the kids will continue google learning at home.
it’s excruciatingly painful to watch this happening! People really don’t know what education is, and they have no idea about the nightmare that is the ‘future of work.’ It’s heartbreaking!
I was still shocked when I found out it was happening in my village school. Everything I have read has been about America so far. Even though I knew it was coming here it was still a sickening shock to discover it is already here and happening. My nephews and nieces are either there or going to be going there.
The World-Eating Forum published the Davos Manifesto of 2020, from which I copied this quotation: “A company is more than an economic unit generating wealth. It fulfils human and societal aspirations as part of the broader social system. Performance must be measured not only on the return to shareholders, but also on how it achieves its environmental, social and good governance objectives. Executive remuneration should reflect stakeholder responsibility.”
See: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2019/12/davos-manifesto-2020-the-universal-purpose-of-a-company-in-the-fourth-industrial-revolution Sounds nice, doesn’t it? The big corporations are going to share the love and the value with the global community. It’s so, “we’re-all-in-this-together”-ish! But it’s not. Allow me to translate Davos-speak. Corporations are going to be valued (their net worth) according to how well their mission, operations, and ⚠people⚠ align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which are the global standard for ESG or impact investments. The C Suite execs will receive higher compensation to the extent that they can prove (i.e. measure the impact of) their company’s commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance global goals. Still not so bad?? Try this. Human capital assets are people who are all-in – and I mean ALL IN – when it comes to supporting these goals. Human capital assets will be those who think and talk and act like motivational speakers and promo agents for the corporate social justice schmoozery. These ard your change agents and thought leaders and social entreprenuers. This process has already begun – how many corporations donate to United Way and incentivize employees to be ‘engaged’ in their communities, especially by participating in non-profit work? Yup – you’re already an impact opportunity. But what if you disagree with some prong of the UN agenda? Or what if you don’t want to mix the personal and professional aspects of your life? Or what if you slip up and say the wrong thing about an issue that you haven’t considered thoroughly? Well, the chances of that happening will be very unlikely since your human capital score will have been accumulating from womb (to tomb), and unless you pass the ESG threshold, you’ll never make it past the algorithms that serve as Human Resources Gatekeepers. You’ll never work for the company store. More likely, however, is that you’ll be in ESG lockstep because personalized learning will have ‘meducated’ away any inclination to question the cult of corporate ESG impact. Just look at how schools and others are preaching the ESG kool-aid, repeating it nonstop untill everyone believes it 100%. They are set up to turn human capital liabilities into human capital assets for the company town. Since the C Suite fat cats will be paid more if they can demonstrate asset attitudes vs liability attitudes, you’ll see a flurry of Pay fof Success opportunities. All designed to turn individuals into thought-leader followers for the sake of the corporate bottom line. The Pay for Success contract can then be securitized so that the hedge funds can bet on whether or not some social engineer can fix you or whether you’ll be a permanent liability. Not so nice is it?!?? It’s NWO stakehokder capitalism packaged in a soft, Deloitte-velvety veneer.
And yet another post from her:
Interesting that both Sweden and South Dakota are vanguards of Five G rollouts… If I’m not mistaken, 5G radiation is more intense or has a more intense effect in the wintertime and in very cold temperatures. Who wants to bet that people in Sweeden and South Dakota are going to become very sick this winter, and will be cast as object lessons of the dangers of staying open during this hoaxemic? Just a guess here. Thoughts?
South Dakota has a lot of pilot programs to test military technologies. 5G is designed for tracking and tracing everything. Literally, everything through the Internet of Things. So no small town will be spared this beast.
And some replies to this post:
while all microwave radiation is bad, i think the idea of 5G directly causing illness is a red herring. 5G is so their surveillance control matrix runs faster and more efficiently. people will get ill from the vaccine they are about to push this winter, same way most illnesses have been causes in the last 200 years.
that was my thought too, but I’ve heard that certain frequencies thin out oxygen-levels in the air. Like a vaccuum. So I do wonder if something is up.
if as many real scientists come out and tell me how dangerous they are and produce lots of evidence as they have done with the covid hoax then i’ll be more inclined to believe it. lots of misdirection in the truth movement though; we often don’t need to speculate, as you well know there is enough real and present danger right in front of our faces they are doing without having to do so. like chemtrails – they’re not directly poisoning us or it would be obvious and also affect their minions and puppets as well (and we would want to wear masks..) but they are very likely to control the weather, which does affect us indirectly. plus if known shills are going on about 5G diretly attacking us, i tend to err on the side of ‘bullshit’ 😉
I am pretty sure Sweden was allowed, or told, to take door number two (no lock down ) by The powers that decides this. In 2015, 196 nations signed on to the global preparedness monitoring board. (A board which Consists of Fauci, Gates foundation, Russia, China, Netherlands, etc and headed by Norwegian ex prime minister, Gro Harlem Brundtland.) each country is asked to basically make sure to have one strong public health figure who can implement all the measures put forth by the board (Co founded by the WHO and World Economic Forum, btw) routed in the United Nations sustainability goals and global public health. That, and the fact that the Swedes basically practiced eugenics on their elderly population had me convinced that all the countries have assigned roles and the politicians are just puppets along with the main health official which answered the call. Right now they are working hard on their second wave all over the world, testing healthy people, identifying the virus and calling it cases ( which goes against known medical practice, because you are not a case until you are sick). That and the control of the population by ordering masks, thus increasing both fear and chance of illness you lowering immune systems, seems to be working well in their favor.
I am not betting against you, there is definitely a reason behind theiR tactic, and everyone I have talked to who knows Sweden says that just like the other Nordic countries they openly talk and breath sustainable development with no opposition whatsoever, so sweden is blazing full steam ahead into technocratic tyranny. 5g seems to be key.
Here is a post from Alison:
I want you to read this whole article. I’ve spent most of the day mapping the Oracle / Walmart acquisition of a large share of TikTok, which seems like it may end up micro-video-impact-“education.” I’ll post my map soon, but read this. It’s important. This was in the NY Times April 2002. We are running out of time.
Keeping people off of planes for minor infractions.

And some replies to this post:
It is my belief that this has already been the case, only it’s now being leaked out. Oracle (how appropriate a name) has been at the forefront of database technology for 30+ years. So this is no surprise. The question is, will they have a blockchain database and how will they host a supposed “decentralized”, “distributed” system at their location? Probably at data farms worldwide in conjuction/collaboration with IBM, Facebook, etc. Anyway, no big news (at least to me). This has been coming a long time. I’m sure the military (DOD, Pentagon) already have a working version and access to such a database. All that is needed is a biometric IoT world to complete the data tracking and prediction package.
This is from 2002 – so my point is this has been in the works since then (if not earlier). Very telling notes in this that 9-11 really expanded their reach into federal contracting “services.”
Kulkarni is with Oracle – current chair of IEEE Humanitarian Aid Committee. Published in 2012 on need for unique identifier / blockchain.
yes, it’s all tied together. Remember, there is no borders anymore. There is just global corporations. The corporations, via the WEF and UN are rewriting all the rules of governance. That’s public-private partnerships for you. National sovereignty is dead. We are effectively working as a one world government now. People just have not caught onto it yet.

Forwarded from a parent in the Webster Central School District. Proof that knowledge is no longer the goal in education. It is fear, submission, division and ultimately Marxist indoctrination under the guise of ‘equity’ … September 21, 2020 2:00 p.m. Dear Webster CSD Parents/Guardians, My message to you just a few days ago focused on health and safety in regards to the coronavirus and COVID. But today I felt it was important that I share another health and safety perspective, especially in light of the events around the death of Daniel Prude. We spent much of the summer working to ensure the physical and emotional wellness of our children and adults in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As our focus has been on masking, cleaning, and physical distancing, we cannot disregard that some of our students do not find school to be a place of safety and wellness due to their race, ethnicity, and/or language. Sadly, no vaccine has been or can ever be developed to protect our children of color from the racism and microaggressions that they can experience in our hallways, classrooms, and community. We must all recognize that we are not immune from the physical, psychological, and emotional trauma of racism. It is important to acknowledge that racism, if left unchecked, can and will continue to infect and affect our children. It is our responsibility, then, as educators and leaders to change these conditions so that children can be proud of who they are and are valued for what they have to offer because their lives matter. To that end, we have taken numerous measures to redress historic disparities in opportunities and achievement for African American and Hispanic/Latinx children. Our board of education has provided strong leadership in this, as they have made addressing issues of equity and diversity a top priority. A group of teachers, administrators, and board members has been working to redesign our district’s Code of Conduct with a lens toward equity. I have charged a district committee, the Equity and Diversity Task Force, with leading district- and building-wide work to address these inequities in our policies, practices, and curriculum. Equity and diversity have also been a central focus of professional learning for Webster employees. To start the school year, all teachers and administrators completed a study on the Social Justice Standards from Teaching Tolerance. It is expected that these standards will be integrated into student learning experiences throughout the school year. Ongoing training will be provided throughout the year to all of our employee groups, as all staff must recognize their role in disrupting the forces and actions that have historically resulted in inequitable treatment for students and families. Additionally, a group of teachers will be piloting a new curriculum that focuses on the history of systemic racism in the Greater Rochester Area, particularly as it relates the policy of red-lining. The purpose of this curriculum is to spur conversations among adults and students, regardless of skin color or ethnicity, in order to foster civic consciousness. It is only then that we begin to understand the untold history of structural racism and resistance in our society. Adults from across the district, including staff, teachers, administrators, and board of education members, are becoming allies who are all passionate about building a One Webster community that creates opportunities for productive, crucial conversations and supports individual and group agency for change. I would hope that many of you consider becoming part of the Webster F.I.R.E. (Families Igniting Racial Equity) group. F.I.R.E. is a vibrant, parent-led organization whose mission is to build a racially, socially, and economically-just community. I am excited to work alongside you, and more importantly, your children. Our sons and daughters are poised to bring about change… a change that includes us all. Sincerely, Carmen Gumina Superintendent of Schools

Here is a post from the Florida anti-iReady group:
I am sooo pissed right now! My daughter’s teacher “convinced ” her to do achieve, even after a letter clearly stated she’s not allowed on it. “It’s ok because it’s not for a grade”.. GRRR!.. anyone know if her assessment test can be erased? Thank you!
And a reply to this post:
I’m in hillsborough they forced my daughter who is in 1st grade to get on she cried and said no I’m not allowed the teacher insisted so my daughter told her but my mom is going to get mad can you call her she told her I don’t want buts go get on the computer now 🤬🤦♀️
My son got detention for picking up a pen that someone dropped…. Great message! 🙄
I asked my son what he learnt (he’s 11) his response ….. ‘not to be kind to others?’ A perfect example of where we are headed!!!!
Children have been punished enough that’s ridiculous. I’m an FE lecturer p/t for 2 different colleges. Felt like bursting out crying 😢 today. Most students don’t have access to laptops for online learning. I’ve arranged a Zoom class with my first lot of students tomorrow. I’ve had it with this shit show 😩
The Chamber of Digital Commerce, a blockchain advocacy group based in Washington, D.C., announced Wednesday that former acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney has joined the group’s board of advisors. Digital Chamber Adds Mulvaney to Board of Advisors; Visa, Goldman Join Executive Committee
The unified voice of the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry Why We Exist: Our goal is to improve the public policy environment so that blockchain networks can thrive in the United States. Today, there are barriers to these advancements. Innovators face regulatory minefields while lawmakers must navigate complex consumer protection and security concerns. We’re committed to creating deep partnerships—within and between industry and government—to share knowledge, identify opportunities, and co-create a digital future that’s more transparent, inspiring, secure, and equitable.
As I stated last night Ripple+ Stellar = World Government currency …………. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has given federally chartered banks the green light to hold “reserves” on behalf of customers who issue certain stablecoins. The move gives clarity to banks offering services to stablecoin issuers in situations where the coins are backed one-to-one by fiat currencies and held in hosted wallets.
On Wednesday, the Chamber of Digital Commerce announced the addition of Visa, Goldman Sachs and Six Digital Exchange (SDX) to its executive committee. Mick Mulvaney, a former White House Chief of Staff and a co-founder of the Congressional Blockchain Caucus will also be joining the chamber’s board of advisors. Mulvaney left the White House in March. On the board, he will be joining a number of figures familiar to Cointelegraph’s readers, including Don Tapscott of the Blockchain Research Institute and former CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo, who is now with the Digital Dollar Project. The Digital Chamber of Commerce announces the addition of heavy hitters to board and executive committee

And some replies to this post:
It’s so sad and absurd. The behavior in schools is forcing families to online learning to avoid the abusive environment. My son lasted one day in-person. After teacher antics and required masks all day, he returned to online. I am beginning to think that is the goal. I’ll never believe “safety” is the motive.
My daughter, a teacher at LHJH, can’t use the boards on her classroom walls, because the students can’t see them over their shields! How about that for planning ahead!! This is making her teaching of 7th grade science exponentially more difficult than it should be, just what she needed in this already challenging time of instruction. Lynn, thank you for pursuing having these things removed!!!
The first time I ever spoke before the board I told them to shadow a third grader. The same goes for today. We need to be looking through the lens of a child. What do they see? What can they not see? Makes me want to cry!
Dont worry the vr goggles will be next they can stay glued to their seats and attend virtually from their cages
Lol someone’s pulling your leg. Haha if your child is really in this situation then you would do more than post on Facebook. Gimme a break.
mine is in the district in high school. Here’s his view. I have also notified the fire marshals in Richardson, Dallas, and Texas. I’m hitting the shields from all sides.
In August 2019 reps from the CDC, Rockefeller and Gates of Hell foundations and Partners in Health (Chelsea sits on the board) met at the Apsen Institute in Rwanda and hammered out a $100 Billion taxpayer funded deal on contact tracing, phone apps, ect. Allegedly there were about 60 companies in attendance…who could that have included? Our children are being sacrificed…their minds and spirits crushed and remolded into the little communist robots the globalists want
When contact tracing was sealed 6 months before we were shut down it screams of something terrifying to come if we don’t stop it! It will be used to medically kidnap children, detain people in facilities and the Clintons are tied deeply to this. Fauci tight with Clintons and Gates, Clintons tied to Partners in Health and Gates…Gates funds the WHO and the WHO is intertwined with CCP. People had better wake up! When I saw a video clip of BClinton skyping with Newsom and Cuomo and they were pretending their discussion on CT was an organic moment it gave me chills. I have been trying to sound the alarm since March and most people thought me a loon
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
While we are focused on Who is buying TikTok (Oracle and Walmart together would be 20%owners, leaving 80% ownership with ByteDance in China) … maybe we should pay attention to this: TikTok plans on getting into the online education biz. “The company has been committed to investing in the education field, and plans to work with partners and global shareholders to launch online classroom projects based on AI and video technology for students around the world,”
Does virtual distance learning mean you must be surveilled in your home? “The software turns students’ computers into powerful invigilators—webcams monitor eye and head movements, microphones record noise in the room, and algorithms log how often a test taker moves their mouse, scrolls up and down on a page, and pushes keys. The software flags any behavior its algorithm deems suspicious for later viewing by the class instructor.”

100+ districts in Texas signing up for blockchain-based online learning “credentials” for students, all running through the Strive Together human capital “partner” Commit. Kids as impact commodities for JP Morgan Chase. Things are speeding up folks. They won’t know what hit them….
I was looking at that last week- our district chose Schoology which was offered free to all Texas schools interested in it. San Antonio partnered with Strive Together a couple of years ago. 😔
Well done to MassResistance and this concerned mother for chasing BLM propaganda out of the classroom. Local activism is how it’s done folks!
We have constantly been giving our daughters highschool push back for the crazy going on. We have stood for what we know is right and voiced our opinions in that. At our daughters volleyball game last week we were approached by the assistant principal because my husband didn’t have a mask on and mine was on my chin area. He said my husband had to have it on because UIL required it. UIL also states that if you are social distancing you don’t have to have it and no one was around us. We complied finished her game and I came home and emailed the principal showing him what the guidelines said and told him we didn’t want issues in the future. Tonight we have another game both of us wear a mask on our mouth half butt the entire game no issues along with so many others doing the exact same. The assistant principal sends someone else to come speak with us about how it needs to be on our noses or we can move to the top of the stands to be away from others. My friend behind me and a neighbor who came to talk to us only barely had it on their mouths. We were then threatened to be banned from our kids activities if we did not comply. What the hell is going on? The superintendent and I have gone round and round so he isn’t going to listen, we were doing nothing wrong and he waited until the end in front of everyone a second time to come do this to us. We were asked why we were singled out and it’s only because I have stated my opinion, stood up for my kids, and done the right thing through this. I am so dumbfounded at how ridiculous this school system is being. We visited two other schools one we didn’t even wear a mask at all and had zero problems. I am so exhausted from this all.

Important that the very first funding round for it came out of MIT Media Lab.
Also the founders spent about four years on some unspecified embedded research in emerging markets in China – the wife was doing PhD anthropology “research in China.” Under whose auspices were they doing that work? Very sketchy.
And some replies to this post:
Which founders? BIA. Whose wife? May. Look into Vitol for a connection to China.
I’d seen some of those and added her Schwab award – it is just interesting that when you sniff around they are very careful to never say who was backing her time in China and she and Jay were there for three years doing “emerging market” research.
You know the big push by the ed-tech media a few years back touting widespread adoption of tele-presence robots in classrooms felt odd. At the time I thought, how many chronically ill children are out there who are in condition to actively participate in classes but unable to be physically present? Hmmm….well, with these mandatory rolling “self-isolation” programs of perfectly healthy children under Covid lockdown, now I think I have my answer.
Well, seems I found the project the Bridges International Academies co-founder Shannon May was working on in China – a model “sustainable” village that didn’t work out so well. The project emerged under the auspices of the China-US Center on Sustainable Development and was a special public-private partnership between the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology and….the state of Oregon in 1999? To work on Agenda21? Hmmmm….fascinating. “ “Formed by a Memorandum of Understanding in 1999 signed by China’s Ministry of Science and Technology and the State of Oregon, the stated purpose of the CUCSD is to promote sustainable development design principles through a unique network of public-private partnerships. The China Secretariat is housed within China’s Administrative Center for Agenda 21, while the Portland,OR-based International Sustainable Development Foundation houses the US Secretariat. The Chairmanship of the China Secretariat is taken up by Deng Nan, Deng Xiaoping’s daughter, and in 1999 the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Deng is complemented on the US-side by architect and designer William McDonough. Following the principles set forth in the book McDonough wrote with chemist Michael Braungart, Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way we Make Things, the CUCSD argues that sustainability should be viewed as an issue of design.”
San Diego State University has their private bio-security COVID force camped out in front of an off campus housing and they put all of the residents of the house on the Dean’s bio-security watch list because the house had 4 visitors come over. A neighbor called the police on another off campus housing because the 7 residents of the house, no visitors, were being too noisy before 9pm. The police wrote up the noise complaint and gave it to the university! Now those students who had no visitors are on the Dean’s bio-security watch list. I don’t know how many infractions they get but the university can expel them for not following the university’s COVID rules. I knew when they invited all of the freshmen back into the dorms for ONLINE learning that it was a set-up for the Technocracy; problem, solution. We received an email from the president today promising an announcement of new bio-security measures after the professors banded together to criticize for not having a plan to test for COVID. Here comes the COVID test and tracing! I knew this was their game plan!

Parents here in NY have been asking me the question: “Will children receive the COVID vaccine at school?” Before we answer that question, a brief introduction: I’m Elizabeth Glass: mother, teacher, activist, and a candidate for NYS Senate in Manhattan’s District 27. (1) Before we talk about the COVID vaccine, let’s ask the question: “Do minors currently receive vaccines at school without parental knowledge or consent? The answer is yes.” I have already documented this (2), and will share this post and other documentation in the comment section below. So let’s look at the COVID-19 vaccine. On April 15 NY Governor Andrew Cuomo said “it’s over when we have a vaccine…Anything we can do to work with the federal government to get the vaccine done faster, we are all in…We want to use New York as a laboratory. We are ready, willing, in any way.” (3) On March 2, the NYS Senate and Assembly passed the bill S7919 allowing Cuomo “to issue by executive order ANY DIRECTIVE NECESSARY to respond to…” COVID. (4) On September 16, the CDC published the “COVID-19 Vaccination Program Playbook,” describing how the vaccine would be administered in “congregate settings,” including schools, as well as school-based health centers (5), and the HHS and the Department of Defense published “The Operation Warp Speed Strategy for Distributing a COVID-19 Vaccine,” describing how 660 million cumulative doses (of the vaccine) (would be) available” – the US population is 330 million, so that would be two doses for every American – and how “Nimble delivery and allocation strategies will be essential.” (6) At a September 22 news conference, Cuomo acknowledged that most Americans DO NOT want the vaccine, but went on to describe detailed plans to administer it to every New Yorker anyway. (7) So back to the question: Will NYS children receive the COVID vaccine at school? The bill S7919 gives Cuomo unlimited power to deal with COVID. (4) Therefore, I strongly encourage everyone to ask Governor Cuomo and NYS Senators and Assembly members about this, and request their answers be put in writing.
Here is a post from the Elizabeth Glass for Senate NY 27 FB page:
Are minors permitted to get vaccines without parental knowledge or consent in New York? On page 22 of the federal government’s “C0VID-19 Vaccination Program Interim Playbook for Jurisdiction Operations,” the federal government’s plan to roll out the CV vaccine in the US: “Key Public and Private Sector Vaccination Settings” – or, locations that the C0VID-19 vaccine can be administered: https://bit.ly/3kCAjmS …includes “School-based health centers.” Here is information about NYC’s 387 SBHC’s:
Minors must have signed parental consent to use the SBHC’s, except “NY law allows minors to consent to their own care for…testing for and treatment of STI’s (Sexually Transmitted Infections), including HIV.” From NYAVR’s John Gilmore: “Governor Cuomo put in place regulations, not laws, in 2016, that allows giving minors vaccines claimed to prevent STI’s without parental knowledge or consent.” This includes hepatitis B vaccine (at any age), Merck’s Gardasil (9 years old and up) and Truvada/PrEP for HIV (any child weighing more than 77 pounds). Here are the regulations: https://on.ny.gov/3kCxOkv Are these regulations illegal? The state must think they are, because they are pushing the bill S3899a/A973a https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2019/s3899 that allows healthcare practitioners (including nurses at SBHC’s) to administer all STD vax’s to minors at age nine and up without parental knowledge or consent. My opponent is a cosponsor of this bill, as well as S4244b/A6564b https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2019/s4244 which allows children 14 and older to be vaccinated without parental knowledge or consent; this would include the C0VID-19 vax. Questions: Would you leave your child alone with a healthcare professional? What is your state’s/country’s rules on this? What do you think about children receiving vaccines, including the coronavirus vax, without parental knowledge or consent at school or other setting?
And another post from this page:
As some children started school (full, hybrid, or distance learning) in New York State – or NOT start, as is the case for New York City children – the reports of problems have been innumerable. Speaking of problems at schools: while this post is not from NY – it is from a California mother – it’s something all parents should be aware of. It is a picture of her sixth grade child’s writing assignment. If you look closely, it’s a photo of a naked human wrapped in clear plastic wrap. The writing prompt: “Your doorbell rings. You answer the door and find this on your front porch. You yell into the house ‘We got another one!’ Tell the rest of the story.” While this was not a New York school, inappropriate curriculum is also a concern here due to a bill being cosponsored by my opponent regarding Comprehensive Sexuality Education, or CSE. Here is my statement on CSE and the proposed bill S791 / A1904 : This bill would require “comprehensive, medically accurate and age appropriate sex education be taught in all public schools, grade one through twelve.” It is appropriate for children to be taught about their changing bodies, growing up, and sexual health. It is also critical for young children to be appropriately educated about sexual abuse in a non-threatening way in order to prevent it. For example, the award-winning book “The Right Touch: Read-Aloud Story to Help Prevent Child Sex Abuse” by Jody Bergsma helps empower young children and protect them. The bill S791 does the exact opposite. This bill promotes a curriculum known as Comprehensive Sexuality Education. CSE utilizes graphic sexual content, even for the youngest of children. CSE uses the same techniques pedophiles use to groom children: exposes them to inappropriate content. Our children are being psychologically abused and made more vulnerable to pedophilia via the institutional sex education in the public system. Similar to the justified uproar over the Netflix movie “Cuties,” concerned citizens across the state – and country – are outraged that our government is sexualizing our children. In order to make our voices heard, and show voters in the district the way forward, we must reach them…and we need your support. Please consider supporting this campaign; thank you! 🙏🏼🇺🇸❤️

Interesting history of the Seattle Space Needle here. Did you know the investors who got together to build it for the 1962 World’s Fair called themselves the PENTAGRAM Company and it’s just a hop, skip, and a jump to the Gates Foundation? One of the big investors was timber magnate Norton Clapp, stepfather of Booth Gardner, Washington State governor, promoter of ed-tech and competency-based education, Clinton’s ambassador to GATT (predecessor to the WTO) in Geneva (UN Finance, etc) who pushed sustainable growth AND the assisted suicide bill. Old Norton was a lifetime trustee of the University of Chicago and a national Chairman of the Boy Scouts (good citizen badges, etc.) for a time in the 1970s. So many bits to this puzzle. John Lennon refused to go up in it, lol. Evidently Gates won a contest reciting the Sermon on the Mount while in school and won a special dinner there. Crazy! https://www.spaceneedle.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Fact-Sheet-History.pdf
I don’t know whether it’s mentioned in the article, but The Kirlkand Life Care Center, alleged to be ground zero for CV-19 in the US, is very close to Bill Gates Lake Washington home.
It’s not just students in places like Bradley University, IL that are being placed under covid house arrest, excuse me, lockdowns/quarantines, but UK college students are experiencing it as well:

Folks, education privatization has moved on from charter schools to the pod / micro-school model. Charters have extracted all the gentrification-related real estate value and tapped out insider deals from bankrupted school districts. Proceed to in-home / small-scale data-farming of children. No more pesky facilities management or administrative overhead. Perfect for pandemic semi-isolation and social control. It’s all so horrific. Just check out the plan from Lakeside School – Bill Gates alumnus and parent. It’s all there for those with eyes to see. 2015 – 2015 – 2015
Cue “equity” and digital vouchers – “community-based” YMCA centers for work-based learning for “impact” for low-income kids.
They’ll want everyone begging for their own pod program.
And some replies to this post:
Pods are a disaster only if people turn to ones created by our system. I think most people are waking up and rejecting the current state of affairs. They don’t want to continue the old ways of being, and that includes the educational system
Not sure if you follow my research – if you do you will realize people are not prepared to address global AI telepresence micro-work and badging or digital “social impact” education vouchers.
The “pod” people will have to invent and be able to secure a non-badge / non-micro-credential economy within this empire. Not to say it can’t be done, but right now most people don’t even realize that is going to be what is needed.
Ya I think those of us who don’t want to participate in this, will need to brainstorm structures and ways of getting away from this digital white power structure. One reason why I will listen to Indigenous/black leadership before I will listen to the left. I feel like a lot of people on the left don’t see this happening.
Well, in my city much of the program is being implemented by the Black Democrat misleadership class, sadly. Though the Left is clueless. So…not much to work with.
I think we have to be really cautious about labelling people, because if anything the past six months has shown me that when you speak the truth the people who can hear it often surprise you.
Oh wow, I didn’t realize that, with that I think it is the grass roots leadership I would personally listen too. The democratic party is totally owned by the corporations (I live in Canada, our equivalent would be the liberals).
The way the law is structured in my State, pod-schools are “illegal.” Homeschooling requires a parent to be responsible for the education of their child, and ONLY their child. Anything more than that is a private school, with the exceptions of private tutors for single subjects. Which means that the pod-schools have to comply with all of the regulations that private schools do, through the State’s OSPI. Private schools, pod schools, homeschools, they’re all available markets for data harvesting.
Alison, when you see the word “micro” that is a reference to cryptographic badge system, that requires digital blockchain identity. Your entire life will be based on your “badge” accumulation verified on a global blockchain. When you see “governance” that is THE technocratic principle of alienating middle-man representation of government and instead replacing it with “smart-contracts” blockchain system. It’s called Distributed Autonomous Organization (DAO). Algorithms will become your representative. When you see “smart” you are seeing a mass surveillance system. They all use the same words but people do not understand their true definition. As a blockchain developer, I see them all the time and know exactly what it means and what is coming.
Global Online Academy – Summer of 2011 Lakeside School (Bill Gates) brings 15 “elite peer” private schools together to develop “luxury” brand digital education. This distancing stuff didn’t just “happen.” It is a central feature of the program. Biocapitalism is grounded in physical isolation and digital connection. “In March 2011, Lakeside School invited representatives from 15 global peer schools to Seattle to discuss what best-in-class online learning looks like, why it’s important right now, and how a consortium of leading independent schools can work together to shape the future of online learning and bring the benefits of online learning to their teachers and students. Global Online Academy launched in April 2011 with ten member schools and five online classes. Today, Global Online Academy has over 50 member schools and in 2014-2015 will offer more than 50 courses.”
And if you will recall, this was the year that state education funds were slashed and ALEC legislation which unbundled student funding was unleashed across the country. Jeb Bush and Muchelke Rhea both visited Snyder at the annual Macinack Center Conference on Michigan. The wheels had been turning for a while.
We had a K-12 Inc. guy who was on School Board and running fOr City Council at the time. We also had three school board positions open. I followed the money rather naiviy and opened up a Pandora’s box. The writing was on the wall. I was in shock as my kids were quite young.
And yet another post from her:
I’ll be working it into a future post, but this map shows the international scope of education as an impact market sector that supersedes geo-politics. First see Shannon May, former UC Berkley cultural anthropologist, who conducted emerging market research with her husband Jay Kimmelman in China 2005-2008. Their focus was “sustainability” and ed-tech in rural areas. They leveraged this intel and global connections to create Bridges International Academies, which has franchises in four African countries and India. Their business model is LCPS – low cost private schools scaled with Silicon Valley $$$ and tech support from MIT Media Lab and the Cambridge, MA military industrial / venture capital complex. Educational data monitoring links with sustainable development goals, World Bank, and impact sectors. Data analytics are refined by DFID in the UK – various dash boards and portals paid for by the Gates Foundation. Just in time for the Covid reset, their approach was re-worked for fancy-pod-format “progressive” blended-learning / project-based / city as classroom education in the Seattle area. Lakeside, the school Bill Gates and his children attended, would be the institutional sponsor. Its headmaster, Bernie Noe, launched an elite micro-school pilot (The Downtown School in Seattle) as well as “luxury” online learning platform (Global Online Academy). Noe is current board chair of the National Association of Independent Schools and had placements at connected private schools like Sidwell Friends before his 1999 installation at Lakeside. Take a look – interactive version here – remember to click on any circle or line to open the record – URL sources on right side of each record.
OK – one more map before bed. This one of Booth Gardner, former “progressive” governor of Washington State. Very much involved in the alignment of education to workforce development and data analytics. Also he was an alumnus of Lakeside as was Gates and Paul Allen. On the left are his policy areas, many of which are now social impact sectors. He served as US Trade Representative and contact on GATT under Clinton. On the right are his ties to Marc Tucker and the National Center for Education and the Economy, which advanced standardized curriculum. His step-father was longtime chair of Weyerhauser, a timber baron who had a PhD from University of Chicago and was chairman of Boy Scouts USA in the 1970s. Interactive version here.
Question maybe I’m reading too much into it or maybe I’m not my son has tutors and tonight his math teacher didn’t teach one ounce of math which itotally understand schools are starting slow work on getting to know the student and emotional support. But when does talking about blm, Breanna Taylor, the riots, cop shootings, the presidential nomations and the supreme court justice fit into common core math. I was flabbergasted listening to their google meet all feed back is appreciated
I was proud of my son who’s on 12 he’s like yeah I know but I’m not really into politics and then talked about football. If she pulls it next week I’m going to tell the school y ah there on home lessons I don’t need your tutor for 2 hours just give him work and we will figure it out or I’ll go to an outside tutor to help
Here is a post from a Pennsylvania anti-Common Core group:
Wait a minute! I thought the “guidance” was “voluntary?????” What’s going on ??
Remember, what they perfect abroad they intend to bring back and use against the domestic poor as well. Look at this analysis of the Bridge International “Lower Cost Private School” model – cultural erasure, digital payments, and debt with ties to corporate affiliates. Re “language” – I expect soon the “global language” will be the language of coding.
Total surveillance in Smart Cities has not been curtailed in the slightest as new tech is rolled out to police forces around America. Components like sensors, cameras, license plate readers, CCTV and more are being rolled up into a single surveillance sledgehammer for police, DHS, Fusion Centers, etc. ⁃ TN Editor
Australia is passing stuff allowing the indefinite detention of citizens, just like Comrade Cuomo was pushing in NY (BTW, he and his ilk started that bill LAST YEAR)! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
From 2019. Super fucking relevant. If they will start imposing “probations” and taking money from the rich, what do you think they will do to the poor?
“After serving part of their sentence behind bars, we could, for example, continue to restrict an offender’s movement, their activities and their lifestyle beyond prison in a much more intensive way.
And that could also mean a real shift in the standard of living a wealthy criminal can expect after prison.
I want to look at how, once a jail term has been served, we can continue to restrict their expenditure and monitor their earnings, using new technology to enable proper enforcement.
They would be in no uncertainty that, once sentenced, they wouldn’t be able to reap any lifestyle benefits from their crimes and would need to make full reparation to the community as part of the sentence.”
Ripple XRP is part of the scam of ” carbon neutral 2030 ” agenda
Ripple is also connected to 3Degrees Bank of America Taps Duke Energy and 3Degrees to Expand Renewable Energy Commitment Partnerships Support New Solar Generation to Power Bank of America Charlotte Operations and Supports New Solar Projects in Local Communities
Ripple is very tied to the UN’s sustainable development . You will notice in this article 3Degrees – At 3Degrees, we are passionate about addressing climate change. We help hundreds of organizations incorporate clean energy and greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies into their business operations. And we connect over 275,000 residential customers with renewable energy through our utility and community solar partnerships. How do we do it? Through our custom renewable energy and climate solutions that meet each client at every step of the way. After all, solving the most significant challenge of our generation is a tall order. XRP Ledger Foundation, Ripple, and Energy Web announced the decarbonization of the XRP Ledger. This marks the first ever widespread decarbonization of a public blockchain, addressing a significant environmental challenge for blockchain technologies around the world. The pioneering innovation has been achieved using technology from Energy Web, the nonprofit energy tech company co-founded by Rocky Mountain Institute. This initial deployment uses energy attribute certificates (EACs) from renewable energy assets to decarbonize the blockchain’s electricity use. Energy Web’s open-source application, called EW Zero, enables individuals, businesses, or in this case an entire blockchain ecosystem to transition to verified zero-carbon electricity.

Going digital has been on the agenda of oil companies for quite some time. They have, however, been taking their time, testing the digital waters before diving in. That was then. Now, oil companies are in a rush to digitize. Energy companies’ investment agendas were just one more thing that the coronavirus changed dramatically. Exploration is on the back burner for most. It is all about survival now. And things like data analytics, remote monitoring, and cloud computing can ensure this survival because they reduce costs without negatively affecting operational efficiency. If anything, they can help boost that, too.
Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
BYU censors article posted in the BYU Newspaper, not allowing students to tell their stories about the tyrannical measures happening at BYU. Find out what BYU was so embarrassed about, that they didn’t want to be public knowledge.
So apparently if you did online the begin of the school year and want to change your mind at the end of the quarter and go back to school (Jordan school district) they are thinking they might not let you now! I’m so mad 😡 it’s so independent my son has questions he needs help I can’t give (and lord knows I can’t help with common core math!) I can’t homeschool I work full time. Does anyone know how or where we could hire a tutor to help him? The spring was already a huge set back. And here we go again.
I have a little bit of a skewed viewpoint probably, having worked for VIPKid- Chinese ESL company- for 3 years. I would love to discuss what I’ve observed here. I think maybe also from the health freedom standpoint, we are aware how our activities might even affect our future generations’ “value” in this system…..
VIPKid has been collecting data via AI on all students and teacher as with the assistance of Microsoft. Kobe Bryant was an investor in VIPKid. They’re apparently trialing some online phonics stuff on lockdown kids in California. My students there report they are already paying with facial recognition (as early as 12/2019 this was implemented in Beijing)….
I am not surprised. There is so much capital flow between the US and China. Ed-tech is an extractive industry. People are not getting that.
As one of the early AI pioneers, Microsoft has teamed up with HP and its Dynamics 365 AI solution system to transform customer support experiences. Now, it will help VIPKID in analyse student behavior and teacher’s teaching quality. And Zhang Qi, Senior Deputy Head of Microsoft Search Technology Center (STC) Asia, told CGTN that VIPKID is actually doing well in terms of collecting and analyzing data. According to Zhang Yanjing, VIPKID has collected tens of millions of hours of students’ speaking samples, training their AI model to understand facial expressions. “Interactivity and involvement are crucial in online education. We developed a complicated algorithm to analyze students’ eyes and how they move. And we train the model through deep learning. Each student has different ways to express feelings, so the feedback could be very different.” Zhang Yanjing explained.
I almost threw up when I was teaching a kid in China and a PinkFong YouTube song was in the lesson.
Baby Shark that’s brainwashing American children…. Korea.
I am grateful to have found you and I am learning and doing research to understand more. I have always been struck, as a teacher for students with Autism in the public school setting for 8 years… at the intuitive function of a touch screen device in front of a child. I noticed that the addictive effects of a TV screen paled in comparison to iPads. I worked for Arlington Public Schools outside of DC where the agendas were thick. Our superintendent and administration team spent almost a million to visit Apple in Silicon Valley! Prior to that I taught in fairfax county public schools, so many kids with autism from military families…. another layer of this. Some day I would love to chat and pick your brain.
Oh yes – iNACOL (renamed the nicer-sounding Aurora Institute) is based nearby in Vienna.
High profile anything , is controlled opposition , if it were not it wouldnt be there . If anything 9,11 was used to turn truth into a bad word that noone can trust ..David Cameron {years ago} announced that all conspiracy theory or anti israeli sentiment should be considered extreme , not many noticed why or what that meant , my court affair at that time had any reference about me using the word extreme as many times as possible throughout , Uk column recently reported that schools in UK have been telling kids , conspiracy means terrorist . I keep seeing reports by non MSM independent media repeatedly referring to conspiracy theorists as right wing fascists and people in interviews saying , im not a conspiracy theorist or a right wing fascist ..Supposed truth platforms maintain these kinds of subliminal messages ..I learned a long time ago ..that in certain areas , a group of ten people will almost certainly contain at least three people who are working for the other side ..You just have to realize that as you go along ..
Good point. As I have called out Israel’s running of the RI Covid reopen I guess I’m on the “extreme” list now, too.
I am listening to the religious leaders – if they actually understood the planned role of organized religion in impact investing it would make a huge difference.
not sure if that would be the case. do you realize they have been getting religious organizations to participate with the covid vaccine plan ? I heard this in dr june’s update on the vaccine congress it really ticked me off.
Well this was from the “line in the stand” call I was listening too. I know most of them are sell outs, but even those who get that there is a problem do know understand why faith communities are participating in what is happening.
i would educate the people forget the religious leaders other than the very few that have been telling people to get their kids out of public schools they are the only ones that will listen
Also where are the anti-5G people on this? Are they still downplaying the connection to lockdown? Because if they understood internet of bodies / stakeholder capitalism run on 5G they should be fighting the biometric ID systems tooth and nail.
I have a handful of homeschool moms who are concerned about this. We are seeing the street level boxes pop up here on the outer banks. Our county managers informed me the local middle school is getting a monopole placed on its property soon! I fwd the whole school admin and superintendent this info and posted it my local activism group and crickets?!?!!!!!! Or “the American cancer society says it’s safe.” 💔
They are trying to erect a 5G tower near my daughter’s school. It would feed/fry the local university, a primary school and a secondary school. I just found out that GCHQ funded the new maths block at my daughter’s school too, combine that with the school’s push to have every child on an iPad and you get the picture. They recently signed themselves up to an Apple scheme, they are now no longer in debt. I’m really at a loss. I’m trying to challenge the school but they just don’t want to know. Most parents see it as progress, they love the Class Charts app that monitors their child’s behaviour. I refuse to use it, why would I want to be surveilling my daughter? I’ll download the Opt-out app when it’s available.😄
I am one of the anti-5G people in Ireland (I’m behind Stop 5G Waterford and got many of the Irish groups going) most of the anti-5G people here are still very vocal, understand the connections and have joined or are running the anti lockdown rallies in various cities all around Ireland. We are fighting the biometric ID systems tooth and nail. They tried to bring in an app called “health passport Ireland” and they got 159 “likes” and over 10,000 “dislikes”… a lot of people here are connecting the dots
There are so many levels to the beast. To the layperson terrified of MSN and Pharma commercials, who can’t see past the Rockefeller Medicine Media and State Run narrative are blithely unaware of the true technocracy at hand and what is being done in the name of big biotech that shapes the models for future view.. These people cannot get past the fact that germ theory is wrong and the fear mongering over symptoms overtakes all other possible rationale. I speak from experience. If you can get any of these higher ups to actually admit that the whole of germ theory is wrong, then we’re hard pressed to find others than Dr Judy and Mikki Welles and a slew of other independent Alternative Drs to speak up against Big Pharma and their “model” of health. That is what this whole thing runs on… The fact that they can keep people in fear of themselves their bodies and other people too, the the direct determinant that keeps that which you seek to do at bay. There must be lawyers willing to step up against and fight the well funded narrative. Germ is one. Terrain is two… Everybody’s terrain inner and outer is unique and unique to treat, we know this. Billions do not, so they’ll take the Gates or whomever else funded pill or test or shot, again and again without questioning if there is another way. The fear mongering of selves is the main distraction of why folks are either unknowing enough to care, or the realm of all of this seems like some sci fi fiction, which is so scary and heartbreaking sad to me that ALL of this info is right here in the now but people won’t READ or review long enough to cross reference and determine truth from the information. It’s not sci fi, it’s right now. I think if you sat down with Del he might be the one to bust it open. Having lawyers in place is essential. My whole take… is that I am and you are a sovereign being , unique in my biome. I take my self sovereignty seriously, and until I realized through my own story the levels of corruption I wouldn’t have believed it. Until I understood my personal mission for health freedom (and it’s still a process), I couldn’t have understood the bigger picture for all people as “patients”, or understood the liberties that big pharma takes doing literal experiments on people every single day. They are taking all consumers and turning them into patients to be determined by value on health meds and future potential surgeries or implants or… Me going to the farmer’s market to get an apple for my health that I decide is the way I would always have it. But, the technocrats see it differently. As each country vies for funding, we are labeled, as commodity. That kills me. But it’s a fact nonetheless. Those that lift your goods (research etc) but make no mention of said work, are thieves.. Is it plagiarism? I appreciate you Alison and all you do in your mission. We Want To Stay Human And Stay Humane
I think it is because it’s easier to find the problem and put the blame on someone – that to actually make the requisite changes within one’s life that can reflect in a systematic breakdown of the institutionalised corruption. What I can clearly see is that people want their comfort, and they want someone else to hold responsibility, and blame. Spectating consumers, (unwittingly) playing a part in the theatrics. There aren’t too many people who would take the requisite steps, and hold up against authoritarianism. In the Indian context, for example, people would rather wear a mask without believing it’s actually helping, than pay a small fine. Largely, internationally, the arguments that I can see is ‘the government cares – so if I care about what the government says, then I care, and so should you’. Or, ‘it doesn’t matter until its at my doorstep; even if it does end up at my doorstep, I can take care of my people’. Empathy for the group took a backseat a long, long time ago it seems. No one really takes the time out to think about their action/reaction in society I feel, as long as they can keep the authorities happy, and their lives running as per usual.
Here’s what I’ve been posting for months. It’s a little long, but these guys explain what happened in the financial world to kick this whole thing off. They knew that they could not bail it out again like they did in 2008, so they had prepared.
So I was snooping around the big “fact-checker” site Poynter, and came across something called Teen Fact-Checking Network (or something like that) from some group called MediaWise (which is a project of Poynter.)
While teens are generally regarded as digitally savvy, research from our partners at Stanford History Education Group (SHEG) shows that the vast majority of teenagers have trouble navigating digital information — whether it’s viral hoaxes on Instagram, misinformation campaigns on Facebook, or sponsored content on news websites. MediaWise addresses these issues with new curriculum to be deployed in fall 2019, in-person events at schools nationwide and fact-checking content and outreach via social media.
The primary way MediaWise will reach one million teens is through middle school and high school curriculum designed by the Stanford History Education Group that will be available to teachers across the country this fall to download — for free.
While the curriculum is being piloted and tested, the MediaWise team at Poynter is working with Local Media Association and National Association for Media Literacy Education to visit schools and teach the fact-checking skills the curriculum is built on.
And look what I found near the bottom of the page:
The MediaWise project is part of the Google News Initiative and funded by Google.org. The Poynter-led project includes contributions from partners SHEG, Local Media Association (LMA) and the National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE).
Just announced this afternoon, Sec DeVos is doling out $131 million for public charters. Expect more lies from DC soon about “choice”. Then remember page 17 wiped ALL choice out by using “all Education must be aligned to the same post-secondary readiness standards.” Public charters are also fascism.
PII data collection (especially biometric) linked to nutritious food access should NEVER be allowed in schools or farmers markets! UNSDG2 ProduceRxPrograms SocialImpactOpportunity
their plan is to hook local farms into sending produce to schools and forcing children to use biometric fingerprint scans in order to access “healthy” free and reduced lunch – for “impact.” Same for SNAP tied to Medicaid. Thanks Michelle Obama. Just piecing this bigger picture together now. Food is the most basic energy input and the technocrats want to control it.
It seems to me that the pro-single-payer NGOs have either been in on the “social impact” “outcomes-based-contracting” game of biocapitalism all along or else were negligent in not seeking to truly comprehend what was at stake with mhealth, wearable tech, and digital payments. I don’t honestly know which is worse. This is so heartbreaking.
Raise your hand if you believe Michael Bloomberg wants healthy Americans? Is the significance of Event 201 sinking in yet? Covid was just the kick-off. The real payout will be in the coming Medicaid heist and ongoing health data surveillance. Comorbidities for the win! https://americanhealth.jhu.edu/about
And some replies to this post:
Healthcare has always been the primary control mechanism. We can improvise about anything except life saving medicine …
The significance of Event201 sank in during January, they have since been pushing out predictive programming for a bioweapon release, probs just more fear as they are most of the way to total control, it’ll be us and them
Wow- as I’m beginning to understand more about social impact investing, this is leaving me with a very bad feeling. One of our top Public Health institutions has been completely co-opted.
“Covid comorbidities” are in keeping with the CDC death counts, which had Covid-19 as the cause of death on their forms whether tested positive or just speculated while the actual causes of death like Stage 4 cancer was relegated to a co-morbidity. Of course, the CDC had to remove 94% of its death counts or “Covid comorbidities” or morbidities late last summer. Anyway, it begs the question (rhetorically for the most part) why Covid-19 comorbidities are being featured. I believe academic technocrats throughout the world in higher education are beneficial in muddying the waters for the globalist agenda and evidently are thought to lend credibility to its various kinds of Orwellian double-speak. Sure, “Medicare and Medicaid market shaping for public health” clearly means raiding them as resources and transferring their wealth to Bloomberg and his cronies, who don’t give a damn about public health outside of it being a source for their own exploitation.
I’ve noticed that several of their solutions to energy and healthcare involve “Synthetic Biology”. If your not familiar, I would recommend checking it out.
This was in the USMCA document which was signed by Mexico, United States and Canada “U.N.’s model e- commerce law”….
Here is a post from the Common Core Diva:
US Taxpayers, while Bigtech is testifying in the Swamp, did you know US House Appropriations Bills are out? Do you know the federalized national plans for your internet will cost us almost $20 billion?! Do you know the educratic BS laced into gov’t designed neighborhoods? Will you care that Dept of Ed will devote millions to streamline data tracking your children everywhere they go? What about quasi-healthcare in the name of student ‘outcomes’? Lastly, millions for alien children’s well being is set aside for SEL testing. I hope you are mad enough to read & rise up against tyranny like this!
Event Sept. 21- 24 …… The COVID-19 crisis wracked havoc on societies and economies and dealt a major setback to achieving the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Climate Agreement. Putting the world back on a path of sustainable, equitable and inclusive growth will require more than a global recovery; it will require a Great Reset of social and economic systems. Taking place in the context of the United Nations General Assembly, the World Economic Forum’s fourth and, for the first time, fully virtual Sustainable Development Impact Summit will convene leaders from government, business, international organizations and civil society along with a diverse group of experts and innovators to initiate, accelerate and scale-up entrepreneurial solutions to tackle climate change and advance sustainable development.
So the guy bringing the world Covidpass (blockchain health passport) is a World Economic Forum affiliate, Harvard/Oxford graduate with a background in urban design and social innovation who worked with the UN and World Bank on public private partnerships and risk assessment and “smart technologies” tied to carbon trading. I mean how much clearer can the agenda get folks. It’s not that hard to see.
Lots of trails to follow from exploring that link. Ya pretty much read what’s coming, how they’re gonna do it and who’s involved. Their article on the dangers of capitalism and how its the worst system in the world is quite disturbing. Coming from those people, who wdnt even exist without capitalism…I suppose they are fixing to place the capstone on the pyramid cuz they talk like the Great Work. “The Enterprise” is just about complete. Jerkwads.
Um – this is running through Davos. We are here because of capitalism. You think the WEF is something other than capitalist. The whole thing is being orchestrated out of the US Chamber of Commerce (with the US military).
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
During his decade there he also consulted for the National Security Agency (NSA), helping integrate the agency’s networking software with the existing security and public key infrastructure technology. In other words, Schwartz was gaining a working knowledge of cryptography at a high level. “It was a fantastic experience,” Schwartz says.
In short, Schwartz wants to disrupt SWIFT, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, a Belgian cooperative organization founded in 1973 that counts more than 10,000 financial institutions as its members and is the ultimate middleman in banking.
How many of you have heard of Ken Kurson ? Kurson a board member of Ripple.

Ripple invited Clinton not only for his fame and influence in general, but also for his proven experience as a politician in drafting policies for emerging technology. During his presidency, Clinton signed the historic Telecommunications Act of 1996 to govern the then-nascent internet industry. The law was a major overhaul of the Communications Act of 1934 (which had been in effect for over six decades) and was regarded as a defining piece of legislation that kick-started the modern age of int

I’m sure all of us who’ve visited city centres in the last few years have noticed the dizzying number of new flat builds shooting up everywhere, as well as a lot of super-modern “student housing”. What’s it all for? Up to now, there hasn’t been any mass exodus from the suburbs and countryside to the city, nor has the nation’s student count suddenly shot up.
Now we see what it’s all been for. All these people about to be made homeless are going to be herded into the city-centre builds, all of which will have been fully kitted out with 5G and SMART-everything. Your fridge will literally be watching you, whilst you’ll be bathed in constant high-frequency EMF exposure, leading to possible radiation poisoning. And what are the symptoms of radiation poisoning? Wouldn’t you just know it, they just happen to be respiratory! They just happen to resemble almost exactly the symptoms being attributed to “coronavirus”. So there’ll be a lot of sick people, helping to further perpetuate the illusion of a “second wave”, and we will then see all those extra “emergency hospitals” that have sat completely empty until now, getting some use.
Universities, meanwhile, are never going to return to the traditional model – everything will move online and students will “Zoom from their room” at home, which begs the question of what will be done with all this “student housing” that’s gone up everywhere. Same answer. These have all been designed to be used as 5G-enabled SMART-pods; environments deftly designed to have complete surveillance over people’s every move and to create sickness (to further the illusion of a “deadly pandemic”) and premature death (to meet Agenda 2030 depopulation goals).
Crazy conspiracy theory? I sincerely hope so – but once the government has been called on to fix a problem caused by the government, we know there can only ever be catastrophic consequences.
And some replies to this post:
I knew someone in York who got planning permission to commence the building of ‘SMART housing’ on the site of an old gas works, somewhere in the city centre (this was last year, and I expect work may have started on it by now). I saw the plans, and he was very excited about it, as it was quite a big deal. Everything in the original post was described – SMART meters, SMART everything. The people involved in the building of these things actually believe they are involved in ultra-modern ‘progress’ – “a whole new way of living”, as I once heard it described. They are useful idiots with no idea whatsoever what they are helping to usher in. They also stand to make a lot of money, so I can’t see them being particularly receptive to any information that contradicts their current understanding of SMART.
I’ve been telling people this for years now, with regard to the huge numbers of high rise prison dwellings going up round Manchester city centre. It’s Agenda 21, I cried, in vain. It’ll get worse when October comes and the furlough schemes stop, and there are millions of new unemployed unable to pay their rents/mortgages. 😦
Absolutely, I call them stack n packs, these we’re rolled out in a major towns & cities that were bribed with the “regeneration” of their town centres. I literally watched it happen where I live and everyone cheered it on, while I tried to tell people you’ve just destroyed all those independent run business and allowed big business to monopolise them all. You can go to any town or city now and it’s the same shopping centre just in a different area.
It’s happening all over the U.S. Seattle, where live, is being destroyed.
yeah every western nation signed up for this BS agenda21 way back in the early to mid 90s and all councils on a local level too
yep, I live in walking distance of Brum city centre and theres been a frenzy of flat building which seems to be connected to the destruction of the pub trade, two local pubs, one of them listed, have been demolished for small flats, the listed one caught fire of course
It makes you wonder whether the massive expansion in the university sector over the past 20 years was just an excuse to build lots of student flats in city centres as part of the ‘sustainable development’ agenda…
A very good point, because it was always obvious this wasn’t about improving the prospects of students, tens of thousands of whom have ended up with useless degrees, a drinking problem, and £££s in debt. What you say makes perfect sense.
Yes!! This has been happening in Coventry city centre for the past 3-5 years!! Apparently a Chinese investor owns the majority of these buildings. Warwick university isn’t even close to the town centre!! We’ve often discussed the fact that there’s no need for so much “student accommodation”. Now after reading your post it makes perfect sense what it’s all for 😳
And another post from her:
SCHOOLS: BRAVE NEW NORMAL?
I am becoming increasingly convinced that a major agenda item of the overlords is to scrap traditional schools (and colleges and universities) and move everything online.
I know in the first instance this seems difficult to believe, as schools have played such a central role in indoctrinating the next generation and moulding them into good little NWO foot soldiers; the “elite” would not have been able to sustain their servile and psychopathic system so effectively were it not for the machinations of school. After all, the only real purpose of school is to knock any individuality or rebellious spirit out of people, so they grow up to meekly and unquestioningly serve the agenda (see the brilliant books of award-winning teacher, John Taylor Gatto, for more on this).
However, it’s important to bear in mind how different the world looked when government schooling was first instituted. A million miles away from the digitised, technicised, information super-highway we have today, and where the only way of the state getting into the minds of children was by physically removing them from their homes.
Now, that is not necessary. The state can have full invasive control over a child’s mind via the most powerful and addictive mind-control device ever known to man: the screen. Children LOVE screens (a lot more than they love teachers), and every home is now equipped with several of them. Therefore, the overlords now have the infrastructure in place to dismantle physical schools, isolate children from friends, and have them sitting alone in their rooms, plugged into the grid, 24/7.
We can see with the current “lockdown” measures, such as social distancing, banning large gatherings, and even the demonisation of large families (that’s why “local lockdowns” only target areas with large immigrant populations, where multigenerational living is common) how keen the overlords are to put an end to socialising and strong social bonds. These are typically formed at school, and many people make friends for life there. I, like most people, am still in touch today with people I was at school with decades ago (and am delighted to see that several of them are wide awake 😊).
The elite doesn’t want this. They want isolated, atomised people with few or no social bonds, because this makes them as controllable by and dependent on the state as possible.
My prediction is that the much-vaunted “second wave” will hit around September-time, schools will shut down again, and within a few months, it will be declared schools simply cannot be made safe enough for pupils to return – ever.
I also think pressure is intentionally being put on schools to apply utterly ludicrous “safety measures” that they won’t be able to reliably adhere to, and that parents and children alike will hate, thus preempting many parents to remove their children before the schools are officially shut down.
Most parents will feel utterly unqualified to homeschool their children themselves, which is when the government will “benevolently” step in with its online curriculum. Then the overlords have what they want; children sitting alone in their rooms, separated from family, severed from friends, and with no remaining distractions left from full-on, inescapable, 24/7 state mind-control.
I know all this sounds a bit bleak (and indeed, what doesn’t these days…), but I’m just giving a heads-up of what I think is a very likely scenario, for anyone with school-aged children. It may be a good idea to look into homeschooling and link up with other homeschooling families now, to get ahead of the curve and ensure you’re not left at the mercy of the government’s “online curriculum”, the horrors of which we can only imagine.
Obviously, I’m all for homeschooling in the traditional sense and it is infinitely superior to any kind of government-controlled school. But the one redeeming feature school has is the presence of other children; the engagement and distraction of friends play an enormous part in ensuring children don’t get too “radicalised” by the state’s agenda. So imagine if that distraction is removed, and instead of “school” meaning boring old Mr. Jones droning on whilst children ignore him and whisper to each other, it instead means being plugged into a super-interesting and modern, all singing and dancing, internet extravaganza, deftly perfected to ensure maximum immersion and engagement?
I think this could be a very real future scenario and that it would be a really good idea to prepare for this possibility whilst one still can.
And some replies to this post:
That is totally the plan 100% has been in the works since the mid 1990s at least. See this 10 minute testimony from December.
I’ve already seen commercial online ‘high schools’ popping up, grabbing their market share of what’s to come. What will become of us thousands of redundant teachers in this scenario?
Batteries in the matrix. Human capital data commodities.
Sadly, I foresee teachers being in the same predicament as many – redundant; skilled and qualified in an industry that’s collapsed, and with no similarly sized industry emerging to replace it. Obviously an online system will need to employ FAR fewer people than a country full of physical schools. Thus many teachers will become reliant on government assistance, and that assistance will come with conditions, such as mandatory annual vaccination. It’s the same pathway they have in mind for many. 😦
I hate to sound harsh but teachers have been somewhat complicit, agents of their own destruction led by Marxist unions. They should have thought about this and spoken out long ago but instead they have gone along with it even as the schools have opened. And before anyone jumps down my throat my husband was a secondary teacher and also a local secretary of the NASUWT. My husband had teachers interests at heart, but the NASUWT or the other lot the NUTs did not, the NUTs were rabidly Marxist, no idea if they still exist, hope not.
Homeschool will not be the same once community based learning spaces, even libraries, start taking the digital vouchers and having to align curriculum to standards / badges and feed back the data to impact investors.
I’m in Scotland, we’ve just been told all schools will be returning as normal in 11 days, no face coverings, no social distancing by the pupils although they will be doing ‘additional surveillance’ by randomly testing some staff and puplis who are showing no symptoms!
I think it is just an excuse to find positive cases that don’t exist to shut down schools in a local lockdown tbh. We all know that coming into winter you’re going to catch a cold and this will show as a positive result 😦
Please read this post. It went semi-viral for me in Scotland when I first wrote it. Scotland is being set up as the first “ACEs Aware” nation – ties to Silicon Valley, Kaiser Permanente/NHS, Annie E Casey Foundation, Carnegie Corporation. Be very aware of in school mental health services and profiling. Huge ties to forced family separation (criminalized poverty) linked to the now jettisoned named person scheme.
Also, beware that test! [name redacted] and others have made a very compelling test the nasal swab is being used to covertly vaccinate people and/or infect them with something.
I have told both my children to run if they see a swab coming, even if it means leaving the building and coming home. I’ll deal with the fallout later!
I think the same for workers too. Apparently gov, big corps and NGOs had all this work from home set up in 2010. Again the aim is to isolate people. Lots of people talk at work. Can’t have that!
Yes, completely agree. Many people are now too scared of the virus to go back to work, and many employers realise there are a lot of financial and administration benefits to not having to run physical premises, ergo, homeworking becomes the “new normal”.
Military personnel and police officers have been feeling alot of pressure these days under this New Coronavirus system, because they are being forced to do things which they know are against the law and immoral (ie., breaking social gatherings, forcing people to wear masks, fining innocent people for no reason etc.). My guess is that when the next schooling season comes around, teachers will also be uncomfortably pressured to do things which feel objectionable. They will have to operate under new rules that feel painfully unnatural, and insulting to the human spirit. Just like police and military officers, teachers are going to have to make a choice as well. Will they serve the Lord, and all that is good and holy, or will they serve Baal for a paycheck and fear of lack. This mental psychosis which has been foisted upon the world – although obviously evil and terrible – has still been good for one thing. It is truly revealing the difference between those men and women who choose to stand on principle, and those who will make compromises.
I am sure that the police know what is going on. What will it take for them to come clean?
It will ultimately take the fear of God being instilled into their hearts. Police officers must be unafraid of the threats that this system throws at them, whether it be social ostacisization, unemployment, loss of income, or any other manner of persecution. They have to make a conscious choice to fear God, and not their government. Because in truth, God is above all of their plotting, planning, and scheming, and he will provide for those people who choose to follow after what’s morally right. That’s what it will take for them to come clean. A change in mindset.
India have just announced a revamp of the education system,
Seems highly likely. The only thing is that in many families nowadays both parents go out to work and rely on the kids going out to school to make that possible.Maybe there will be a combination of job losses and working from home that would make that irrelevant.
Yes, that’s what I think – there’s going to be so many job losses once “furlough” ends, and so many moves to permanent home-working, it will make it possible for children to remain at home.
Another thought , maybe its a round about way of discouraging people from having children . Some couples may be less keen if they think they are going to have to take care of their children 24/7 365.There already seem to be quite a few who are eager to dump their kids in nursery / childcare as early and often as possible.
You have to protect your oral history and make the kids understand that they are being exploited by their government.
I think you’re probably right! 🙁 I’ve been a secondary school teacher for 14 years and I’m dreading going back in September. I’m no longer able to teach in my art classroom which means the children won’t get their usual learning experience like painting, sculpture etc. The new everyday guidelines are absurd and totally unrealistic. If my school brings in masks I will walk out! Also planning to move in with family so I can leave my job if necessary and home school my daughter.
This will all contribute to the pre planned economic crash. Student let’s, empty offices, empty city centres. Huge domino affect on suppliers and contractors in different sectors. Not to mention mass unemployment and culling of businesses.
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
Here’s the latest video release from the sex educators over at AMAZE. This video tells kids its ok to masturbate all day long if they want to. You have to watch it to actually believe it. This isn’t sex ed, this is grooming.
AMAZE videos are listed as a recommended resource in Comprehensive Sexuality Education curriculum being taught in some MA schools. Find out if your school district uses or recommends AMAZE videos. Let school officials know you object. Opt your child out of CSE classes.
More inappropriate and harmful content for our kids from the sex educators at AMAZE. Watch this video for a sample of the kind of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) that is being taught in MA schools.
This video sends the message that the only factor in determining when to have sex is to whether you feel ready. It makes no mention of age or marital status.
Some of the scenes include youth dressed up as characters getting into bed, insinuating fantasy role playing, a boy and girl exchanging sexual history with the girl sharing a long list of people she has had sex with previously, and even suggests that some youth might like to have sex with older people and shows what is clearly an adult man, but then adds a disclaimer about laws that might exist against that sort of thing (mind you, it doesn’t necessarily disapprove of sex with an older person).
Really?! This is the kind of sex ed that our legislators want to mandate with the so called “Healthy” Youth Act, now pending on Beacon Hill?!
WE CAN DO BETTER! Find out if AMAZE videos are used in your child’s school. Tell school officials you object. Opt your child out of CSE lessons.
😮 Teacher training: Measuring SEL during online learning. Get familiar with MAKING CARING COMMON… a project from HGSE. “Making Caring Common is among several initiatives nationwide that support school districts’ efforts to implement SEL. A project of the HarvardGraduateSchoolofEducation, it has partnered with more than 200 K-12 nationwide to train educators on how to develop empathy in students. And part of that work involves helping teachers broaden their own empathy.”
I work in public school system. We recently received an email stating that we will have to perform “extra duties“ corresponding to Covid. They’re asking us to help clean, monitor students, monitor their seating charts, and also taking students temperatures. I feel so uncomfortable that they’re asking us to do this. I am not a nurse, I don’t wanna be involved with anything medical like. Surely I’ll be able to opt out and just clean desks extra?? 😕😕
And some replies to this post:
are they offering to pay more for you or anybody else to perform these duties that don’t fall under your job description? Not that this answers your question except maybe you could ask for more pay since they are asking you to do more.
I’m sure they won’t. It was not mentioned in the email. I am close to calling my principal. I don’t want to make a fuss, but this gives me extreme extreme anxiety. I hate it all.
You can’t take a temp???
i can, but I don’t want to.
It’s how it happens. Slowly, slowly….take away rights, add more pressure. It’s just a mask, it’s just this, it’s just that…..it’s just a vaccine. Fuck that. They are breaking us down emotionally. Well, they are to me anyway.
This is not right. If you’re a teacher how will you have time to teach? Are you seriously expected to keep them in their seat? I guess kids aren’t allowed to be kids anymore. This is wrong on so many levels.
I am not the certified teacher. I am a para. I understand extra cleaning. But i swear I will look the other way if I see students out of line or not wearing their masks. Too much responsibility, I am responsible for myself and that in itself is a task. 😔😫
I was a sub but I’m not going back. Looking at kids in masks will break my heart. I’m upset enough knowing it will happen. My only hope is that those in power who forced masks on our children will answer for it. Karma now, not later.
My take on this is that they are going to make every teachers job a living hell, specially on the districts that are not happy about reopening. Why? If the teachers are unhappy they can blame them and tell the parents that the teachers are being forced to work against their will. I actually know a lot of teachers that want to go back. But their job as a teacher is that, TO TEACH. I do not expect nor will I want my child’s teacher to take my son’s temp every day(which really is not an indicator of the virus and a lot of those thermometers are not very reliable. I would not expect, nor would I want a teacher to waste her/his time telling kids that they need to wear a mask, or monitor them to make sure they do. Or even making sure that the kid stays on his/her little quadrant/bubble. They already have enough work.
And if the kid has a temp, will you be responsible for having to report it and totally F up somebody’s family. Will you be responsible for a kid being taken away from his family to “safely quarantine” to make everyone else “safe” especially when they have proven that the tests are faulty?
Are you ready to see how HR 2 will make Johnny, Suzy, and, you a credentialed placeholder? Part 2, in my new series shows how the “Moving Forward Act” plays right into the CCSS Machine’s Competency Based Education.
By [name redacted], just now: 🌹 I saw a grade school today holding a relay race in the park. 90% of the kids had masks on including the teachers. These kids were running relays with face diapers on out in the park, beautiful 70 degree-breezy California weather and these covidians are outside with muzzles on. Running. In the open air park. Unbelievable. I guess the parents will learn when they start dropping dead. Where is common sense anymore? Maybe I should embrace this as a survival of the fittest and just enjoy the show and keep my Temple strong and mind my own business. ❤🌿🌹
Here is a post from the Common Core Diva:
Parent alert!! Sen. Rand Paul just unleashed a new Bill for Fed funds to follow your children. This is a trap! It promises “choice”, but doesn’t mention the data tracks attached to these funds. Page 17 of ESSA killed true school choice! You’ve been warned several times by the likes of Charlotte Iserbyt, Alice Linahan, myself, and others who have evidence from DC about this trap. Be wise! Tell Sen. Paul, “No!”
Cashless society is coming and sooner than I thought . There is a massive cryptocurrency ecosystem being created which includes central banks , cross boarder payments, payroll gifting, and I Hub innovations … all of these are partners of Ripple ..
Simple TRANSLATION: Expect that The Fed. will VASTLY and I mean VASTLY increase its asset acquisitions, and debt purchases.
Four Fed. Reserve presidents in the last 2 days stating “The Fed. is willing to do more”.. This means issue more debt in any amount. Are you seeing a pattern? The intentions are to deliberately kill the dollar to issue in a new system.
They finally have ditched the dollar , other countries will fall right in line with China and Russia – The end is very near for the dollar as the global reserve currency and then onwards to digital ..
China and Russia ditch dollar in move toward ‘financial alliance’
We just picked up yearbooks for our kids this morning. I’m guessing next year’s edition will be pointless due to lack of content. Virtual events aren‘t really worth capturing, are they? Who wants to see pictures of their kids in masks while surrounded by plexiglass or 6ft apart?
Meet Alvah Clayburn Lewis. This is his yearbook photo below. He had his whole life before him that day. Despite the odds, he went on to become a successful lawyer and was elected to Dallas County Judge over the Commissioners Court with JJ Koch, John Wiley Price and others. He now goes by Clay Jenkins.
Coach-led practices in our public schools were supposed to start this Monday. Clay J called a special meeting recently to tell the area superintendents they cannot hold fall sports practices and he will put a temporary restraining order (TRO) on any district that goes against this order.
RISD and the coaches have been working diligently to implement a set of protocols and procedures to keep the kids safe during practices only to be undermined by this runaway judge with an ego the size of his hair.
The next commissioners court meeting is on August 18, the day before distance learning begins. Will you sign up to speak (virtually)?
My son plays soccer on a club team and the LH varsity team. He has been practicing with his club team for weeks, safely, with his coach who works for a private school. Private schools are not under this order and they have also been practicing without the overreach of Clay J. Once again, our public school children are screwed. fakequity 
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
We expect to have a new article out tonight around 10:00/10:30pm on new policies which removes superintendent/school authority and replaces with state/regional authority over students in the public and charter schools re: testing, tracing and quarantining.
We’ll be including the video as well as a lengthy transcripted segment regarding students and teachers for those who prefer to read or re-read.
US GOVERNMENT WEBSITE TRACKS OUR CHILDREN ON UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS INDICATORS
Look what we just found!! Have you ever wondered why our educational system seems to be promoting United Nations standards in our schools and in our curriculum texts and online curriculum? That’s because our country is teaching the sustainable development goals of the UN. This US government page shows how we in our country are tracking our children in their understanding of UN SDGs.
The SDGs have become more important than academics. They are the crux of social-emotional learning, comprehensive sex education, online distance learning and every other agenda being pushed alongside academics, and frankly, squeezing academics out!
Tool around and take a look! Go to SDG #4 Education. You’ll see SDG 4.1.1. You can choose look at the report statistics. It’s obvious they are back filling data to at least the year 2000. SDG 4.1.1. pertains to testing children in the 3rd, 5th and 8th grade which we see now has been a UN requirement.
There’s a lot to see here. Enjoy and wake up! The UN’s structure has been used to push a global education agenda on each country.
Here is a post from talk show host Tara Gowen Fricano:
If you are handing your children over to an insane system that does this.. It’s on you! Many of us warned you about the TRACKING SYSTEMS that were already occurring for YEARS NOW… you laughed, you mocked, you told parents that were taking THEIR OWN TIME to research what was occurring in our education system that they were nuts!! Well, at this point… Who is the crazy ones now???
UMMM➡️ NJ. New Jersey’s Butler School District wants students to wear health-related armbands (page 16). “Butler School District has worked with Accwell to purchase armbands (Appendix K) that all students and staff will wear daily while on the premises. Armbands will provide daily temperature readings. Armbands will provide daily reports to our nurses to track wellness within our school district.
Students and staff will be responsible for charging their armbands daily and wearing them to school – students who do not have their armbands will not be permitted into their classrooms.
The Butler School District will provide the armbands – in the instance of loss or breakage,families will be responsible for replacement and students will need to remain out of the building until a replacement is in place.”
MUST WATCH VIDEO for California parents! As you know, Social and Emotional Learning pedagogy grooms kids to embrace and agitate for Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE). Teachers are being trained as Social and Emotional Learning (CSE groomers) while online curriculum will be the syringe that delivers most CSE curriculum.
Pay attention to the fact that CA’s State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, State School Board President Linda Darling-Hammond and the Governor’s wife Jennifer Newsom have partnered with Beyond Differences to bring a Social and Emotional Learning tidal wave into schools (see 2nd link). Then, watch the video below from Beyond Differences’ Youth Board members and prepare to see how kids are being turned into hate-filled, sexual rights marxists.
It’s time to protect your children and families from this tidal wave.
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
Look what Advocates for Youth (AfY) is up to. They are recruiting your 11-15 year old daughter to participate in a study about the birth control pill to be used for their Free the Pill Youth campaign.
They posit that the shelves at CVS have ✅ condoms, ✅ emergency contraception, ❎ but no birth control pills? And they want teachers and organizations that work with young people to help them spread the word to help with their recruiting efforts.
‼️❎‼️ “It’s crucial that we recruit as many young people as possible, particularly those who are 11-15.” ‼️❎‼️
Parents, how do you feel about YOUR 11 year old little girl having access to over the counter birth control without your knowledge or consent?
Easier access to birth control for minors = more teen pregnancies. The failure rate for oral contraceptives is higher for teens because it requires correct usage in order to be effective. The more kids having sex, even if they use contraception, the more customers and profit for Planned Parenthood (an ally of AfY) who sells STI treatments and abortions.
Former PP manager Ramona Treviño says, “Planned Parenthood is not in the business of prevention. Preventing unplanned pregnancy doesn’t generate a profit. Promoting abstinence, self-control, or monogamous marriage does not keep the blood money flowing in. SEX. Sex is how Planned Parenthood meets its abortion quotas.”
Get AfY and PP out of our schools!
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
The old “brick-n-mortar” classrooms and schools of the past you once knew are history. This “pandemic” has made sure of that. Now be prepared for a blockchain-AI-crypto based education system within this new gig economy.
“The coronavirus pandemic is transforming the education sector as much as it is transforming various important aspects of our lives. The majority of teaching and learning has been transferred to digital platforms as many cities remain in quarantine or begin to ease lockdown restrictions. But the education sector will never be the same again.
Education is going through several developments and changes. These changes were accelerated over the last few months by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the novel virus did not outrightly halt the delivery of education. It merely demanded new ways of delivering and receiving learning content. One of those ways includes peer-to-peer learning, which has been around for some time.
In a formal classroom setting, an educator shares knowledge with students. In peer-to-peer learning, students share knowledge with other students. P2P learning extends to workplaces and industries. It should be noted that peer-to-peer learning is supplemental learning and not meant to replace formal education.
Peer-to-peer learning should provide benefits to those who share and receive knowledge. Students need to learn as much as they would if they were in a formal classroom. The same applies to workers who have to acquire as much knowledge as they would from a hired external expert. Some of the benefits of this kind of learning include:
A study, conducted by Degreed, found out that employees prefer to learn new things from their peers rather than approaching their bosses. Peer educators understand what learners go through every day. They know the experiences that learners face and this gives them an edge over external trainers or teachers. Peer-to-peer learning is changing as the online education sector grows. Some students prefer to watch video content instead of reading notes. The same thing can be said for young professionals who are likely more interested in watching practical projects in advancing their careers. Peer-to-peer learning platforms are aimed to bridge this gap by providing practical step-by-step learning content delivered in video format.
Blockchain technology has been called a hammer looking for a nail because of its ability to solve problems found in many industries. Blockchain’s use cases in education are as important as the technology’s application in finance and payments. The technology’s applications in education include identity management, verification of degrees and certificates, cloud storage, record management, digital rights protection, security and tracking donations made to educational institutions.
An increasing number of students are taking online courses. More than 6 million Americans are taking online classes and looking forward to getting degrees. Some of the online students are career professionals who are either looking to switch or accelerate their careers. This growing number of online students could easily pave the way for counterfeit degrees and certificates. The University of St. Gallen in Switzerland introduced a blockchain pilot project to verify the authenticity of its degrees. Using such a system would reduce the amount of time required to verify degrees from a few days to just seconds.
Students have lots of records to keep. These include attendance, modules, grades and even payments, among others. Instead of these records belonging to institutions, they can be recorded on the blockchain, where the data is immutable. The students can access their data whenever they want without going through the hustles of contacting their alma mater. The University of Nicosia in Cyprus has developed a blockchain system to store students’ information such as grades, certificates and more.
Blockchain is still an emerging technology and its true potential and limitations are yet to be fully explored. The technology will likely have more use cases in the education sector in the future. What is clear so far is that the coronavirus pandemic has shown the need for new, innovative ideas in the delivery of education. Students need a new way to learn while young workers could use online platforms to advance career skills.”
Interestingly, Eric Schmidt former CEO of Alphabet/Google -and- Bill Gates were selected by Gov. Cuomo to determine how school systems can more easily integrate technology and remote learning.
Also note* Eric Schmidt is now the Chairman of the NSCAI: National Security Council on Artificial Intelligence. On August 13, 2018, Section 1051 of the Fiscal Year 2019 John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 115-232) established the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence
As many of you might know, Ripple (XRP) recently signed a deal with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for a blockchain to create a financial and services app for 1.7 billions of people around the world. More than 100 financial institutions have partnerships with Ripple, including the Bank of England, The Federal Reserve Bank, The Royal Bank of Canada, JPMorgan, major credit card, etc.
Well now BlackRock, the company that stepped in to manage the Federal Reserve Banks and the U.S. Treasury, from collapsing, is now restructuring it’s operations and hiring a former founding executive of Ripple.
“BlackRock Inc., the largest asset management company in the world is set to undergo a massive management overhaul with the aim of focusing on alternative investments. The company recently hired a former executive of Ripple who is tasked with leading the digital asset team in the firm.”
And so it begins. The transitioning to a blockchain slave society. It begins with offering all public services on a blockchain. It places all tangible (hard) assets on a blockchain. Soon after society goes 100% digital and is pushed into accepting a cashless society. That cashless society has to then digitally identify itself on a global blockchain identity network. Data that is scattered around the world, regarding your personal traits and habits, gets consolidated into a super data store, supercomputer for analysis, scoring, and predictive analysis. Your profile is created on a blockchain. With the advent of mass surveillance, you’ll be monitored in real-time using creative means 24/7 on 5G and later on 6G high-speed networks. You’ll not be able to buy or sell anything without proper credentials and acceptible social credit scores. You credits will be your currency. Bad social credit, no food. Bad social credit no home. Bad social credit, no travel.
You’ll have a wallet that transacts these social tokens off and onto the blockchain if you’re a good “global citizen”. If you do not comply, you’ll be sanctioned, punished, shamed, isolated and geo-fenced, and possibly worse, just as is done in China.
With the collapse of brick-and-mortar retail businesses, you’ll be forced to buy and sell online. You’ll also have to work online since jobs will have evaporated. In the new gig economy, you might want to work in a VR world acting as an administrator or moderator. Maybe you’ll have a job in customer support? Or perhaps doing gig services when they become available, but only if you have enough badges verifying you can fulfill the position.
You might want to trade virtual assets used in video games (that are all unque on a blockchain. Yes, imaginary digital assets that gamers would buy and sell!
You’ll have to constantly go to school online for specialized online jobs that you hope will land you high on a dashboard-leaderboard. You’ll have to compete with the rest of the world for the top 10 spots that employers look for.
This is the danger of being on a government (public-private partnershiped) blockchain. Along with blockchain ID and a digital mass surveillance and predictive analysis machine that is scoring you in real-time. You’ll become tokenized workforce assets for “stakeholders” world-wide to be traded on the market, like chips in a casino. Only this will happen in high-speed trading with you being the actual chips or tokens.
The ONLY way to avoid this nightmare scenario for you and your loved ones is to not let it happen this way. You really have to let your voice be heard and say you will not accept this new digital human capital economy.
Pulled from my files – before some of you became friends I had posted this – Here is some more to add to what you have . Fink’s letter to investors and guess what ? His sentence “I believe we are on the edge of a fundamental reshaping of finance.” Another quote from his letter “in the near future – and sooner than most anticipate – there will be a significant reallocation of capital.” Fink mentions climate Change so what else could Fink be thinking of when he mentions the 2 above ? Could it be social credit score, digital currency, digital identity, and a Universal Basic Income.?………… And “We are a signatory to the UN’s Principles for Responsible Investment, and we signed the Vatican’s 2019 statement advocating carbon pricing regimes, which we believe are essential to combating climate change.”
demonizing blockchain technology is like demonizing computers when they started getting used by governments. It’s a tool, not a literal chain for enslavement. There’s way more blockchain crypto-currencies out there that are completely out of any banks control and will never be in a banks control becasuse they are distributed networks….like pirate bay torrents, they can’t shut them down or ‘own’ them. It’s all a matter of which cryptos the public allows to gain support. Don’t support ripple. I’ve never liked it honestly. It seemed from the get-go to have been set-up by the bad players.
and also coincidentally ripple has been surging in price erratically lately completely out of step with the rest of the cryptos….which suggests to me it’s getting a leg-up on the competition from suspicious donors

You are always being profiled. As a seasoned game developer of many games, one of the tasks I had to perform was developing character traits or personalities for game characters. This allowed for variations of characters in games just by changing the numerical parameters of these traits. One could use these traits to “genetically” evolve characters over time using genetic algorithms. One could also learn, with neural network AI, the behavioral patterns that certain character traits displayed during game play in a game arena. Character analysis and behavior modification could then be applied to each character profile as needed when needed, if needed.
The metric often used for character traits (among many others) was the popular Myers-Briggs Personality Types. This metric requires 4 key categories, with each category having 2 choices as inputs:
1) Interaction with World I = Introverts E = Extroverts 2) Absorption of Information N = Intuitives S = Sensors 3) Decision-Making F = Feelers T = Thinkers 4) Organization J = Judges P = Perceivers
The combination of these choices give 16 sub-categories.
So, if for example the character is calculated to have the traits of being extroverted, sensory, thinker and judges, then that person is an ESTJ. According to this classification, ESTJ people make up 11% of the population and are suited to become a: Teacher Project Manager School Admininstrator Factory Supervisor Executive Military Officer Public Official Bank Officer Insurance Agent.
Where as an INTP (5%) is classified to become a: Researcher Computer Programmer Chemist / Biologist Lawyer Financial Planner Mathemetician Technical Consultant Artist / Photographer College Professor
This metric, Myers-Briggs, is used by hiring companies that often as a potential employee candidate to take an online test. These online test measure your traits and determine, algorithmically, if the candidate is suited for the job they are seeking. There are of course many other personality metrics in use in the field besides Myers-Briggs. They do come with many criticism but nonetheless, they are used.
Dating companies use them to build up your profile by asking you to build your profile by asking many personal questions. The answers are used to classify you in a Myers-Briggs table and then are used to compare your traits with others. There is a sample in the pics I’ve added here.
Other companies use other forms of profiles to invoke their AI data-driven recommender systems. Amazon and Facebook are famous for that.
Now the reason I am bringing all of this up is because I know how AI and algorithms work. I know how gaming works. In a sense, we are all in a virtual game. Your profile is either out there or waiting to be created. Your child’s profile is ready to be created as well. This type of testing (and much more advanced testing) can assess your child’s character and personality and algorithmically determine that the best pathway for your child’s learning might be best suited in a field that you or your child might not like. If your child wants to become a musician, the AI educator might disagree and nudge your child to become a veterinarian. If your child wants to become a doctor, the AI teacher might disagree and instead lead them to become a factory supervisor. I think you get my point.
Take a close look at each of these image and realize we are already living in this kind of world, but once we are in a cashless society, with online commerce and online education being the mainstay, and our ID tied to blockchain and all public services online, you will realize that we will be ruled in a world where smart-contract tokens determine what you can and cannot do, in an AI governed world.
You are being profiled and manipulated.
And here are some replies to this post:
People need to understand that the push for gathering “social – emotional” data in schools is related to this and it is an impact market. Thanks Teacher’s College Columbia. A lot of the online platforms capture information about OCEAN “big five” traits.
These are the kind of metrics that are used by algorithms. I’m just hoping that if we educate people more about how this actually works, they’ll see it’s not made up “stuff”.
People also don’t seem to realize that a lot these online apps/quizzes are feeding data. 🙃 It isn’t the same things as circling answers in a paper magazine, these exist for a reason.
I have also seen a shit ton of terrible games being advertised on fb, but they’re mainly almost always these games that need a choice of 2 things. I have also seen so much stuff with animal crossing pushing people towards VR life 🙃
.to be fair, a lot of people are still out here claiming to be left vs right brained or that they know “how many spiders the average person swallows per year” 🙃
you’re right. All those quizzes are feeding knowledge to machines. The same goes for labeling pics with names.
I realized it a while back that these online personality tests for jobs were data mining you. Problem is, it’s impossible, unless you know someone, to get around them, and with HR and the system in the way, getting around it is getting harder and harder.
I think FB’s AI is telling whoppers too. It keeps saying “so and so invited you to play such and such and such game” or “so and so invited you to like such and such page”. Eventually, it dawned on me that likely these people weren’t actually inviting me but instead Facebook itself was sending this out based on what games they were playing and pages they were liking. Granted, I DO believe that people can try and add you to a group and you get an invite that way, but I think the other things are computer-generated.
it’s always altruistic at first. That is how they sell us our poison. People fall for it everytime. And yet, after damage is done, people go right back to accepting altruistic presentations once again. Why are we not enforcing more strict restrictions?
our new state gun legislation, called the Ohio Strong bill is all about labeling children for purposes of pre crime. It’s totally a “mental health” bill thinly disguised as “sensible gun control.”
Tech workers (some) wanting to push out of part of the colony, the hive –
What’s the biggest obstacle workers face: “Office tech workers are recognizing that their technologies are inherently political and are never ‘race neutral,'” Gonzalez said, pointing to the growing surveillance state and “the insidious relationship between tech corporations and law enforcement.” Gonzalez said that at companies like Google and Microsoft, “tech workers have made clear demands that all contracts with law enforcement be dropped, a necessary and long overdue step.”
I totally agree. Many of the tech jobs have slants and biases that are not friendly to the public.
did you see this? ”To address this problem, biometric digital IDs can be a game changer. For example, Simprints has deployed biometric IDs on health and humanitarian projects across 12 countries, which have increased health care visits and quality while preventing fraud. It is now partnering with Japanese telecom giant NEC to develop an affordable, interoperable, biometric solution for vaccines that can identify patients even in rural and offline settings. Using robust digital tools can help governments overcome identification barriers to ensure that everyone receives a Covid-19 vaccine.”
That is the goal. To get everyone registered on a global registry (blockchain) so that resources can be “sustainably” rationed to each and every person if they are socially credit worthy. I’m sure you get the idea.
Do you know anything about the Gallup personality analysis used by companies in the work setting?
I once had to take a personality test for a job at a video store (back in the day). Apparently I failed. They told me so in so many words. What was hilarious about this is that I have a passion for film and knew more about movies than probably most of their employees. I always wondered what on that test made me unqualified to work at a video store. 😆
they were not looking for your qualifications. They were looking to see if you were docile. If you took orders. If you were not a trouble maker. If you would not be seeking a raise soon after. If you were a took initiative without incentives. It was your character they were measuring. This is common in many of the chain stores across the nation. Prospective candidates take a test and fail because they have too much independent thinking.
That must be why I could never get a job and had to go into business for myself, I have to say when in the army they also gave me a really hard time as well 😂
So, having worked with just released prisoners and others not high on the American totem pole of Capitalism and legitimacy (sic), I have helped them navigate employment applications for major grocery, hardware, retail companies. ALL hands down have the personality tests — I am talking about 35 or more minutes of absurd, Joseph Mengele, BF Skinner, punishment society type questions that are supposed to match the person with the job, or in many cases, eliminate the person from the job applicant pool . . . Imagine how stupid this is, but this is the way of Lowes, Nordstrom, Safeway, Fred Meyer, Costco, et al . . . . For YEARS now. You want to know how many ex-felons (always carrying that label to the grave!) make it through that bullshit set of hurdles? Then the “intelligence” tests on top of that . . . word problems (math) and other word association and shape association problems . . . Several hours of a person’s time before the messed up face to face or Zoom interview . . . all for that golden $12 an hour job! Gulag America!
Yes, that is what the tests are for. To eliminate candidates. Recidivism is high in the US because of the damn tests. The companies are looking for docile people that take orders and ask no questions. No trouble-makers. That is what they are for.
Gulag America is right! Combine it with place-based neighborhood planning and, yes, we’re right there in the Hunger Games.
This is very disturbing and the saddest part is that none of these tests are fluid like humans. Once you test a certain type, that’s will be where you are locked. A personal example, in high school I was extremely left brained, advanced math and other courses, became a computer programmer, data analyst, governmental accountant, but as I matured, I became off the charts right brained and explored my unknown artistic talents, humanitarian side, and became a missionary. My Hermann brain quadrant tests CHANGED over time. Now I am both left and right, and flow in both as needed. LIfe consequences, socio-economic, and location greatly affects the person, in different seasons of their life. These computers are not adequate in assessing a miraculous human being! Or able to help them reach their full potential and self-actualization. What about spiritual development and maturity? Is that part of human kind even considered in these AI systems?
The algorithms do not take that into account, that you can evolve or that you can become a different being. These tests only look at you as a workforce component. And, if on the blockchain, your profile plasticity gets rigid. There are so many faulty aspects of these stupid tests.
Oh, come on, this country’s education system was based on a Prussian model from the 1860’s. So, gong from there, PK12 has been a success for colonizing minds, for turning creative youth into dead brain thinkers, for making an almost-entire populace compliant to the masters’ orders. As my black friends remind me, “This is not our house, Paul. And as a revolutionary and way beyond socialist, it is not your house either.” So you can think you are in Richard Florida’s Creative Class, or working for a really progressive corporation or organization, but it ain’t our house, man. John Taylor Gatto wrote about it, and I know in my 37 years teaching in colleges/PK12/gang prevention programs/prisons/more venues (add a few more years as a dive master) that the only way “it” works (learning) is way outside the box (prisons) of traditional learning. I am talking about experiential learning, outdoor learning, what the youth want to learn, and actually respecting and loving the youth that we teach. None of that is happening to scale, maybe in school districts (like the woman I just met on the beach from Issaquah School District) where there is so much more to teaching than a battery of tests, assessments, idiotic stuff. Even so, the youth are not learning enough and have no sense of vital history. Gatto —
Most “leadership” seminars offer these assessments. At the university where I taught, freshmen would take a gallup strengthsfinder assessment -ostensibly for helping them to understand themselves better and to make prudent choices about a major, etc. But in reality these assessments were – just as Joseph says – for identifying which students would be the change-makers and thought-leaders. Those students would be flattered and weaponized against their peers to spread an ideology on campus. At TU, our situation was a particularly gross example of it. The University president was a military psychiatrist who worked with US Dept of HUD, UPenn, and the NSF!
here’s a slide from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education that mentions how Leadership programs are used to “seed” the student population. The language is really perverse if you ask me.
Looks like they were using the students as agents of change for their own agenda and also as a supplemental workforce. Sad that they are mass brainwashing them before they even get out into the real world.
I began to notice the “every student will attend college”. push as a new teacher (second career) and it just felt wrong to me. It was one of the first things I noticed in addition to the the constant diversity training (more important than teaching methods/classroom management). I tried to explain my feelings to some friends, but now those friends don’t talk to me because in their minds I am some right-wing elitist.
I empathize completely! No one wants to face the fact that schools and universities are controlled by human capital speculators. The content of the indoctrination doesn’t even matter – it’s the hamsterwheel of training that allows no time for genuine thinking that is the real weapon here. It’s a seige – just wear out the thinkers so that the followers are the only ones who remain.
rapid successions of events don’t leave much time for critical thinking and reflection. I can see your point. Kind of like a strobe light causing a seizure.
Yes, I feel worn out. from trying to function in that system when all I wanted to do was help kids. To trying to wake people up. My mom was a teacher for like 33 years and she saw it, especially the college push when volunteering a little while ago and she knew that some of the kids she was quoting would excel in a different environment, but how dare you say it. She and other notice things, but when I talk about the “agenda” the eyes glaze over…
Not sure if this post, shared by a friend of mine, is true or not, but it’s NOT the first such story of the Covestapo causing meat and livestock shortages and wondering if they are doing it deliberately to create shortages. As some in the comments have suggested, all they’d need to do shut down everything again for a so-called second wave and more stores would be hit. This would lead to more shortages of food and thus leave people more at the mercy of the government and the corporate allies. Also, even more insidious, some stores, and perhaps governments were banning the sale of seeds or something like that too. With them putting the food supply on blockchain, the idea of them doing this for some kind of control scheme seems all the more believable.
MIDWEST MEAT COMPANY CONFIRMED WITH ME TODAY THAT LIVESTOCK HAS BEEN SLAUGHTERED BY VIRUS REGIME.
And the replies to this post:
Who slaughtered what cattle?
Health Department or FDA orders due to fake virus.
They are preparing us for food shortages.
COVID is the excuse for everything. Nobody is sick where I live, yet we have to wear masks . . .
We cannot get in to see our doctors because they are all part of the virus regime. The hospitals are empty, so no one can get regular health care . . .
it’s to intentionally have a food famine. When they manufacture the second wave, stores will be forced to shut down again, including grocery stores and unless you have the means to grow and preserve your own food, you will be at their mercy in order to survive. Depending on the area you live, you see retailers claiming a coin shortage or no cash accepted policy, as digital currency takes over. With the lockdown extending out indefinitely, more and more will become dependent on the Gov. in order to survive and at that point, they will make you do do whatever they want – take the drugs, snitch out other people, lie for them, they will “provide” some kind of shelter and tell you where you get to live, work whatever job and hours they give you, take your kids away – if you do not comply. This mask wearing is to see how well the public will comply – unfortunately, I’d bet even they are surprised by how easily the masses have just bought into this. The list of compliance is endless and killing off the food supply is just part of the end goal. Very Orwellian, I know, but there are very few other reasons that it could be than to make us surrender.
And people don’t even see it coming. Sheeple are blind. Just wait until you have a starving mob of people who are not ‘nice’ and want to try to take what the want, will be much worse that the looting that is already going on
Well, on the Ice Ag frmer, it was stated that state and federal governments are also buying up as much food as they can, so much that there’s back logs. So even if people order things online, there would still be severe back logs. They have certainly thought this out quite well
plus, the very companies – like Amazon, who got so rich, by having such low prices, will now jack the prices to levels most cannot afford and that segment will have to do what they are asked, as something of a barter to earn what they don’t have the means to buy and they could be asked to do some very ugly things just to stay alive. Everything we’ve been seeing, from the opiate epidemic to autism, cancer, diabetes and every other chronic illness, has been intentional. For those who survive – We are entering The Hunger Games.
And the inflation coming from the lockdown (and of course the coming lockdown), and also the high demand with limited product – Will certainly add to the same. Making people more afraid, more dependent on government, more acting based on fear, like you’re saying
All the insurance companies are in on COVID-19 —- anyone with health insurance will be told they have to vaccinate to keep their insurance. All these big corporations have to go down.
do you have a link to this info about cattle? I can’t find a single story online about it that’s within the last couple of months
Google is suppressing a lot of information and the TV is not going to tell you. Just try to find canned beef anywhere . . .
You have to make phone calls. Go ahead and look up meat companies and phone them as I did.
Lots of lab grown meat companies on the scene. Bill Gates had invested in Beyond Meat a while ago, but read recently that he had sold his stock. Notice they refer to it as “Clean Meat”.
Yes, they are also setting us up for lab-grown meats.
Meat prices here in NC are astronomical
Remember when the Clinton’s had the Haitians peasant farmers wild pigs slaughtered? They did it because the farmers refused the free GM seeds they tried to manipulate them I to using after the earthquake. They starve people into compliance it’s a tactic they’ve used from time long long ago
Starvation is the fall back mode of population reduction. (All bison were slaughtered to reduce a particular population not so – very long ago.)
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
It’s the latest fad? Remote learning— in school. But no teaching IN school. Oh and you pay EXTRA for the “childcare” while they’re IN school. Not being taught in class — but REMOTELY. IS THIS THE GOLD STANDARD FOR EDUCATION?
Wait, I don’t even understand…if they can do this why wouldn’t there just be class?
It’s a long-time agenda to get all kids onto devices. It is believed by some that kids’ minds can be trained and indoctrinated more easily through devices.
and isn’t another goal to get rid of teachers and buildings, use AI to teach and monitor/spy on people’s homes? Alexa kind of does this already.
This was the goal. The big common core device push was all a part of this set up.
yes! I agree. And now there’s the perfect excuse. Parents must get involved and speak out if they want teachers and classrooms on a regular basis again.
agreed!! And we must see that even this, is a part of a larger plan.
Maybe this could work to the advantage of parents who want to know what their kids are learning. Could parents be allowed if requested to have access to the same online material their kids are learning from? Could I, from home on my computer, log into what my child is doing online at school? If so, it might provide greater transparency.
I doubt most parents would have the time or inclination, and they know that. It’s about surveillance, biometrics and data mining.
Right. Which they can also do during distance learning from home. Either way, it’s very hard to know what your child is exposed to online, as they are increasing replacing textbooks with online learning. For example, my daughter’s math book was here at home during distance learning this spring. It wasn’t touched. Nothing was assigned from any of the textbooks. It was all online, Kahn Academy, teacher led, etc.
right. Even Catholic online courses provide material online. My biggest concern is what the content is and whose agenda is being taught…..
Laugh. Cry. Laugh. Cry. It’s ridiculously stupid. I’m so glad I homeschooled my kids. Public schools have been prisons for many years and it’s becoming blatantly obvious now. What a bunch of fools!
Yes, I’m thankful for homeschooling too. But some people can’t, or won’t homeschool. Those people should and can speak up about more transparency in the public schools, more input. All the taxpayers deserve that.
I have done that, ask for transparency, especially when it comes to the push to legislate mandatory comprehensive sex education curriculum. It is absolutely horrible and unacceptable, however all but 2 democrats in the MN Legislature voted for this bill the last time it was introduced. I have written to each MN legislator and state senator to oppose this ‘education’ and I get nowhere – just cut & pasted talking points. Make no mistake, I will continue to make my voice heard – but they don’t want to hear it for whatever reason. Gross! But we do need more people to stand up against the landslide of legislation that is coming from outside the state to change our way of life in MN.
I tried working with teachers when my kids were in school. My son got locked in one of those closets because the IEP thought he may act out. He spent half the day in that closet and he didn’t even do anything. There were other major problems I had with the industrial school complex along with the medical industrial compex. I have talked to legislators and while some of them do care, the majority of democrat LAs won’t even allow you to book an appointment to hear a bill. Federal education needs to be abolished. Schools belong to communities and the state needs to stay out of it. The system is corrupt and there is no working it out anymore. The taxpayers need to wake up and take their schools back or have their kids turn out to be indoctrinated stompers of the state.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
Canadian friends – digital identity and blockchain credentials coming online with the national “Talent Cloud.” Pay attention. https://talent.canada.ca/en
And another post from her:
US Chamber of Commerce setting up longitudinal tracking of “lifelong learning” against income for their human capital bond markets. Crazy given what we know is coming with the Fourth Industrial Revolution that anyone would think there is going to be a guaranteed income tied to ANY credential. This is all a scam pushed by Bill Gates.
OK – I’m asking all of you out there who are still Bernie supporters to check out this guy’s resume. Peter Smith spent much of this career setting up online higher education and digital credentials. He’s now advising Ridge Lane – Tom Ridge’s merchant banking firm. He’s been in and out of Vermont since the 1970s, holding three elected offices and serving on education committees. Can you look at this, knowing that Vermont is NOT a big state, and tell me Bernie and Jane know nothing of this? That they don’t get that the “free college” proposal will be this stackable badge model? This is part of a larger research project I have underway around the takeover of Marlboro College by charter school interests. We’re going to have to be our own heroes.
You realize that the “stackable” badge model lines up with the e-learning protocol of the “stackable” knowledge storing that is used and implemented with xAPI? AI will navigate your pathway, but it also opens the door for tokenizing each and every “experience” you have in your career and life as part of your profile. It opens the door for predictive analysis of your future actions. Think futures market.
I do. I have known it for a long time. And xAPI is wearable tech, so spatial computing. The true all seeing eye.
xAPI is a format that allows for interoperability (system to system sharing) of accumulated knowledge. Both people and devices will be entering data into these formats that can then be stored, indexed, searched and sorted. It can then be used for analysis and predictive analysis as well. It is data of the human experience. AI will be able to predict the best actions against you or for you. Right now this is in the early stages, but education schooling is a center piece to getting this much needed knowledge/info/data.
And what is more amazing and eerie is that all this accumulated xAPI knowledge that is accumulated and indexed, can later be used by AI, after it has learned the outcomes of “experiences” of humans, to do the jobs of humans. It will know all the “pathways” of human experiences, competencies and decisions. In other words, all the data will be available for it to mimic humans in the workforce.
ODEM is a smart contract based on Ethereum. In this system, a student places a “stake” (money) and by doing so, unknowingly, secures the network more so that transactions can occur. The more you place a stake, the more you recieve, but unknowingly, people (investors) with greater stake will make more money with your help of “securing” the network, due to your staking. That is how proof-of-stake consensus works for writing blockchains in the smart contract platform, like Ethereum. Just thought you might want to know that.
This is a rather chilling bit referencing Uber pattern sense-making to education systems, especially considering predatory management of global labor markets by automation-loving billionaire impact investors.
“GPS applications offer clues to a navigational model for learning. When the creators of the Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation system were designing it, did they anticipate that businesses would emerge from the ecosystem that GPS made possible?
For example, Uber relies on the affordances of the navigational ecosystem—a place where people travel as nodes tracked by sensors within maps supported by guidance systems. But Uber is doing much more. It is building atop the sensors and flows of data at new levels in order to understand the patterns in a different way. This understanding allows the company to connect all passengers with drivers to get them to their destinations. And if there aren’t enough drivers, Uber finds ways to push the pool to meet the needs of the riders—Uber’s understanding of patterns creates a balance within the ecosystem. This balance is causing new value to emerge from the network. In fact, there are already many business models that take advantage of the affordances of the GPS ecosystem, and the number of examples is growing.
Navigation using GPS relies primarily upon the ability to define a destination. What makes GPS navigation really smart is that it can also include:
Maps of the terrain Data from other travelers before you Data from other travelers right now These data, in concert, allow some amazing things to work automagically. What does this have to do with the xAPI and the learning ecosystem? Are there value creators that can emerge from learning ecosystems, similar to the way Uber emerged from the GPS ecosystem?”
“What are our maps for learning? We don’t really yet have a “global map.” We have a lot of data, but we don’t have a global standard. Different products or projects try to tackle this at different levels. Efforts like LinkedIn Skills lists, the Learning Registry and even Wikipedia are trying to map the world’s knowledge and learning. We don’t yet have the whole map—we essentially have only local versions available within a company or domain. Competencies and experiences (content) are the key to making the map. Think of competencies as intersections of pathways or roads. They are the little destinations that someone can get to from a number of directions while the content provides the steps between the intersections. Competency models and maps take many forms and have no unified data models in practice. Currently, we have the equivalent of hand-drawn maps of villages or towns. We have “cave-like” line drawings of steps as well, such as in onboarding. We need better ways to describe and map competencies (yes, and knowledge, skills, behaviors, and measures) and their relationship to content or experiences.”
This is an interesting article. It spells how building a map of human knowledge and then navigating it, like one does in navigating terrain in a 3D game. I understand fully what they are attempting to do. It’s actually easy.
What is missing is billions of profiles that are later built up with experiences denoted as nodes in a graph. Each node (experience) is connected to another node as pathways or “competencies”. In game AI, if an AI agent wants to traverse some terrain, there are certain terrains (nodes) that should be avoided. Mud, rock, fire, water, etc. So the AI does a search from terrain node to terrain node and builds a list of the least cost path to take. The path with the lowest cost of traversal to a goal is the path the agent will take. So in essence, this is what is being created. Create a bunch of nodes, in this case, profiles of people and their experiences, and then connect from experience to experience their competeencies towards a goal using a least cost effect calculation. That is how the AI is going to determine what badges or courses you need to learn in order to reach you career goal.
Of course, this can be used for so much other applications, including military and impact investment.
And yet another post from her:
Please keep in mind many people do not have access to affordable healthy food or a home where they can cook it. Many people are not in a position to devote lots of time to self care. Under techno-fascism “healthy” behaviors will be mandated and digitally monitored to serve impact market investors. We need structural change that allows everyone to heal and live their best lives on their own terms. Be VERY careful when making pronouncements about what people SHOULD be doing to “protect their health.” You can be sure health mandates are on the way – stuff like eat your vaccine-laced salad, upload your step counts, and show us your brain waves, or else.
They are weaponing social determinants of health, so Black and Brown and Indigenous communities that carry health-impacting trauma will be targets of these interventions. They will frame it as recognizing their past mistakes to do better, but they are lying. It is a giant trap.
And some replies to this post:
My best friend is a disabled woman and I’m worried for her and her family who are all disabled or elderly.
We need to look at this with clear eyes and be willing to take stands for them. I am not 100% sure what that looks like, but that day when we have to stand up against Google and AWS and Palantir is going to come.
What happens to our disabled community? I already know the answer…
This is what is behind the Victoria lockdown I think.
a friend of mine in Australia is mad about the lock down but she said most people are cheering for it. Said it is completely baffling that no one is fighting against it.
Thank you for this – yes to all of it. We are in Philly and Comcast wanted to use their IoT sensors in the garden where I work. Knight Foundation pushing “hydroponics” when the whole point of our garden is land-based healing. Clearly the intent was green-washing drone IoT agriculture. I am just sick at how big this is. Duke is behind the impact markets – David Gergen and his son is at Duke in impact investing – NC has the video game development industry in the research triangle – they are building the virtual world. Soon I think the plan is for them to just pump crap into our stomachs and give us VR so we can imaging we are eating real food. I don’t think I’m too far off.
All of it is about remaking life as data to be controlled on a dashboard – plant life, water, people – to the billionaires we are just molecules to be managed for profit, and yet maybe a tiny fraction of a percent of people understand what is coming.
As long as we permit a handful of financiers to own our central bank, their agenda will proceed.
Do you have a sense if those advancing public banks have an understanding of the human capital bond market? My fear is that public assets will be channeled into these instruments and framed as “doing good.”
I’m one of the founders of the Public Banking Institute, but have never heard this term until you used it. If the central bank were public, then capital itself would be eliminated (we would return to money being the value created by labor, and not a commodity [capital] created when interest is charged] and the way that bonds work would also be different. I cover this in chapter four of my last book, “7 Steps to Global Economic and Spiritual Transformation.” I have one post from 7 years ago that has a section which covers how this works. It’s about 40% of the way into the article. If you search for “mathematics,” you’ll get to the start of it:
The Fed has set up the markets – derivatives markets in toddlers. If advocates don’t know, you all are going to end up carrying water for them. All public benefit systems and most economic activity will be channeled through these deals. They would love to virtue-wash it through public banking.
I understand the issues with capital. All these programs are perpetuations of this system of debt slavery, just like “public-prirvate” partnerships. I’m opposed to capital in all its forms, so I’m not “carrying water for them.”
If you don’t understand pay for success you’ve missed that capitalism has jumped into the AR / VR panopticon. Trust me.
Yes, the Anglo-Euro-American banking cartel is now trying to follow its German model and confine public banking to city, county, and state banks, to facilitate what you are describing. I get that.
I’m just asking you to get up to speed. You can’t do the work of the people if you don’t dig into this. It is an entirely new form of capitalism. Militarized, financialized biocapitalism. It’s one thing to say you all know and are ensuring it doesn’t happen. But that’s not what I’m hearing.
Public banks should be on the vanguard of exposing this and speaking against it – there should be a resolution against Pay for Success human capital finance in all forms and against blockchain ID. It is the only thing to stave off full-on “moneyball” government.
UBI is not the answer – it has all been set up for blockchain token economies – behavioral scrip. There were never going to be no strings attached. ALICE is the model – libertarian billionaires like Thiel are ready to swoop in.
It dawned on me this morning, with more mental clarity than visceral repulsion, my discomfort and anger around cameras on during distance learning and the constant scolding of the children around comportment. They’re grooming our kids to be docile & manageable under house arrest & getting us in the habit of reinforcing the home invasion in the name of education & our hopes for ease in our children’s futures. It’s fucking disgusting. I never understood so thoroughly the link between ‘compulsory education’ & incarceration. I’ve been a tool and I’m angry & disappointed with myself for being so slow to see it.
We have been conditioned intensely over the last decade to embrace online information absorption. The technocrats were out in force during the Common Core debacle with intense legislative agenda to uncouple funding from school districts to allow for anywhere anytime learning. Teachers were suddenly evaluated on their incorporation of tech in the classroom and K12 Inc. and Smarter Balance Reps were snuggling up with Broad Certigied Superintendants who were rapidly moving their way through districts. While the threats of charters loomed, the greater evil was the automation of learning despite the cry from reformers to take back our schools from rote learning models Think ‘Kids Aren’t Cars’ and ‘Waiting For Superman’, each with their distinctive funding sources and agendas. Lobbyists were everywhere. And those of us who were trying to engage our kids brains in real world activities and reading books for pleasure, were horrified.
And yet another post from her:
Attention social justice people – now is the time to get very clear on this point. Those in power intend to tie survival to submission to digital nudges and perpetual surveillance of the poor. If you are not surfacing this in your movements for liberation, you are in fact helping the augmented reality jailers. If you have questions about this, ask me. There is no excuse for not committing to figuring this out – unless perhaps you are not actually for liberation, but rather for fleeting validation that you are a “good person.” https://nudge4.org/who-we-are/
if you haven’t seen the Galton one above, I think you would appreciate it.
I cannot believe she is openly and proudly teaching Galton. LOL. I studied him in grad school 20 years ago and NOBODY praised him. Everyone understood his role in the rise of Nazism and the inherent evil of selective breeding and discrimination based on genetics.
Operation Paperclip 🤦♀️
Wasn’t Operation Paperclip where the government brought the Nazis into Hollywood and other industries? I do know that mostly hidden dark secret that the whole eugenics thing that Hitler implemented was actually already being talked about in elite circles in the US and UK. The Rockefellers, among others, were big proponents of it.
I wish to thank you for your remarkable research work. Thanks to you and to the high standard in the discussion under your posts I am now better equipped to face the unfolding situation. Tomorrow, I’ll be among the thousands Quebeckers outside the provincial police headquarters in Montreal asking for help against the current corpo-fascist assault against the People of Quebec. We will remind them that police officers must take heed of the Nuremberg Code. Canada’s national security is endangered as never before. The Chinese possess many assets. The Canadian Parliament passed a bill allowing members of the Chinese Army to watch their assets on premise. CTV has reported that there have been many sightings of Chinese military personnel in British Columbia since 2018. We learned this week that Chinese investors want to buy a gold mine in Nunavut (Northwest Territories) offered to a bargain price. That mining facility has the size of Paris. The silence of our political class and media is deafening. Since Harper, we’ve been sold out to China.
Some issues not mentioned in the above posts:
Starting in the ’60s, the sugar industry bribed scientists to falsify data to claim that cholesterol causes heart disease when in fact SUGAR causes heart disease. Most cholesterol is MADE BY THE LIVER bcz it is required to sustain life, incl glucocorticoids. Statin (anti-cholesterol) drugs ‘work’ by inhibiting the cholesterol anabolic pathway every early on so that other products required for life are also inhibited. As we age, our brains’ requirement for cholesterol increases in order to keep neuronal membranes fluid enough for neurotransmitter receptors to be able to change conformation, i.e. function. The war on cholesterol is a SETUP FOR FAILURE which will cause Alzheimer & other neurodegenerative disease.
Mammograms CAUSE breast cancer. The easiest way to eliminate breast cancer is to abolish bras outright. Epidemiology in Africa in the ’90s confirmed the link. This is bcz bras cut off the circulation of lymphatic fluid which is needed to remove carcinogens from the breast. This is why bra cancer involves the lymph nodes. Mammograms are a SETUP FOR FAILURE.
BMI is junk science. The real causes of heart disease besides sugar are caffeine, tobacco, psychiatric drugs, street uppers & stress from oppressions, e.g misogyny, racism, elitism, classism, homophobia, ageism & ableism. Fatphobia is another SETUP FOR FAILURE.
Vaccines cause autism & ADHD, etc. Reams have been written on this subject although it hasn’t been my strong suit bcz I came to it later than I shd. Another SETUP FOR FAILURE.
Racism isn’t the only oppression at work here. There’s misogyny, elitism, classism, adultism, homophobia, xenophobia, Russophobia & Slavophobia, ableism & more. The impacts of all of these are more SETUPS FOR FAILURE.
High carb diets (the food pyramid, another failed theory) are another SETUP FOR FAILURE. Real scientific evidence points towards low carb diets as optimal for nearly everyone. While meats contain no drugs of abuse, carbs break down into sugar which is as powerful a drug as cocaine. All this sugar is guaranteed to cause diabetes 2. With all of these SETUPS FOR FAILURE, what’s going to happen to the victims whose health is actually ruined by all these nudges? They can be intentionally be given a killer in the guise of a ‘COVID’ ‘vaccine’ which will eliminate the hassle & inconvenience of boxcars & gas chambers.
And yet another post from her:
I need people to realize squabbling over Covid-specific details at this point is NOT helpful. We must instead confront the global biosecurity apparatus head-on. Those in power are now able conjure up a health threat from a cauldron of data whenever it suits them. We need structural analysis and strategy, not diversionary infighting. In the coming months students in San Diego schools will have their blood put on blockchain. Gee, thanks again teachers. Just like with the Austin homeless, you go after the powerless first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nMtRsyt5jI&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR0oDr5w_tRcAsKTt8PYaN0gPpBbfg6iA9Jauhq6LvW1M3wEcf1t8GC7szI —
At this point it is NOT about Covid anymore – the specifics of the illness, treatment of it, source of it, presentation, etc. – because it was NEVER about a single event. This is a new STRUCTURE where public health threats can simply be created at the will of global finance. We need to understand THAT is the thing we need to deal with – this is the trial launch. If if was truly about caring for the health of people, it would have been handled very differently.
And some replies to this post:
But people THINK it is. That’s all they’re thinking about. So nudging them in this direction is important.
Which is why the nature of the conversation HAS to change.
They want us dithering around fighting over HCQ, etc. It is a vast time suck.
storing DNA- Rna is the next step ushered by Covid testing….. all as planned for the rulers
Once we feel like we are making ground with Covid – poof- you can be sure Rockfeller will unearth some new “asymptomatic” threat.
we need to be talking about the system being imposed and the constant blood draws and analysis, especially with AI machine learning, it is like a vampire.
What I’m saying is that instead of talking treatments, source, numbers we should be talking about health passports, DNA profiling, e-carceration / quarantine, abuse of all of us via social isolation especially children and the ederly, bodily autonomy. Because those are the things that will carry over to Goldman Sachs’ next imposed lock down.
Are they taking our DNA when they do the Covid swab tests? it seems very similar to the tests from Ancestry.com. In my area there’s a huge push for people donating plasma who have had the virus so it can be used as a treatment? Baystate Medical center which I’ve long felt is a human trafficking, harvesting source( we’ve had too many people, mostly younger, missing in this area and end up being found dead or never found at all, very bizarre) has been pushing this on all media outlets.
I feel sure they must be feeding the DNA into some machine learning systems for AI, but I do not know the specifics.
do you know about this? Ancestry was bought by Blackstone for 4.7billion 👇🏾 this from a bloomberg article ..
when i talk with people in person, i talk about the endgame. for the most part, blank looks, mouth agape. however, most, by this point, have heard of 5g, and some, the controversy surrounding it, so i try and start there. of my fb friends (incl family, etc), there is a wide range of people, to those (few) who are aware to those who are in fear of a ‘virus’.
And what do you know?? A Covid-19 health dashboard! There it is! I’m not so crazy now am I?
San Diego is a “smart” city, also LRNG, also badges. They’ll be able to tie it all to DNA profiling.
everything is happening so quickly from every angle. We need to focus at the head of the snake.
what is that ? what is the head of the snake?????? who sits at the apex?????? who’s runnign the script????
I have to say that the earth is being turned into one big giant corporation, or rather, a federation of corporations, whom are all members of the WEF, IMF, World Bank, UN, NGOs, and philanthropists. Our economy is being transformed into a global stakeholder capitalistic system, also known as Technocracy. Where all stakeholders are following the agenda of UN-SDG and Agenda 21/30. Those are the people at the head of the snake. They are the ones declaring this GREAT RESET.
I’ve gone pretty far up the ladder. I keep running into the Rothschilds, JP Morgan, Rockefellers, etc, and also, back in US history, go back from the Fed to Abraham Lincoln and his growing the government and all and then back to his pal Henry Clay in the Whig Party and their support of mercantilism and then back to Alexander Hamilton and the Federalists and their support of big government and a centralized bank to enrich the 1% at everyone else’s expense. Supposedly around the time of the Napoleonic Wars, the Rothschilds took over the UK by manipulating both sides and then finding out early that the French had lost but making the public believe that they were winning, which caused a mess in the UK market for a while and they took advantage of it. However, there’s also Freemasonry in there, and I’m finding stuff from the Kabbala and the Talmud possibly too and maybe even Noahide (which was subtly made our National Religion in 1991 by a Congressional Proclamation signed by George Herbert Walker New World Order Bush, and which has been continued (at least supporting some Noahide Rabbi) even through Trump. But it goes back to Carter, the same guy who made the DOE and also was from the Trilaterial Commission. Anyway, was able to tie to Council on Foreign Relations and Chatham House back to the Rothchilds. Anyway, further back, I’m trying to figure out the link between these Talmudic Bankers and the Vatican and the Jesuits.
What I’m also finding is that from the Bolshevick Revolution through the current rioters like Antifa, they are actually being funded by industralists/capitalists like George Soros and the Rockefeller famiily. So the commies, including perhaps the USSR, the “evil empire”, were never THE real threat. Which makes me wonder if they were an excuse to go interfere in other countries and topple their leaders during the Cold War under the guise of stopping communism. At any rate, if so, it seems that the policy has been continued in areas like the Middle East under the guise of fighting the War on Terrror.
Also finidng that CFR had ties to the CIA and may have helped form it, in fact. Mr. Allen Dulles was a member. And there are talks about the CIA wanting JFK axed. And also rumors that JFK wanted to get rid of the Federal Reserve but was unable to do so before his assassination.
And the CIA-backed company In-Q-Tel helped start Google with some cash, and now Google is in our schools and other places and owns Youtube, etc, and is silencing people contradicting the WHO and others on covid, among other things.
Oops, when I said “national religon” for Noahide, I meant that they declared Noahide and hence the Kabbala and Talmud as our national backbone, instead of the Torah and the Gospels, which would have made both the Founding Fathers and their ancestors, the Pilgrims, roll over in their graves, as they were hoping to make a free system based on the Gospel and the Torah, not the Talmud.
Some of those works in the Torah and Kabbala, or so I’ve heard, are Jewish supremacist. Kind of like how in Islam, one wants to subject the “infidels” to Islamic subjection, they seek to the same here with Gentiles.
In much the same way that the Catholic Church was a mixture of the Gospel of Christ and the Torah with Roman/Greek/Assyrian/Egyptian/Babylonian paganism and sought to subjugate “heretics” during the Middle Ages.
It seems that all of these groups, Catholics, Talmudic Jews, Muslims, communists, technocrats, etc have their own plans for a totalitarian system and seek to wipe out and subjugate any “heretics” in their way.
Do parents know neither the Covid test nor this Adiona platform are FDA approved at this time?
What about HIPAA? It is just waived? People don’t know what block chain is. I had to look it up.
No HIPPA in schools.
I was told on the phone recently that the digital medicine is waived from HIPAA. I did quite a bit of digging and couldn’t find anything about the HIPAA laws that are currently in place.
In schools FERPA applies and Obama gutted it in preparation for this.
the company had a partnership with a Salt Lake City biotech firm, too. “The company initially partnered with Salt Lake City-based Co-Diagnostics Inc. to distribute the latter’s Logix Smart COVID-19 test, which received emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. FDA in April.”
Please read this article written by Jonathan Johnson—Utah’s top blockchain evangelist. You might be shocked to read that Johnathan is promoting the idea that it’s a good thing that blockchain-based COVID immunity passports will be used to allow or deny people access to the economy. In this article, Johnson tells us that blockchain-based immunity passports will allow us the “freedom” to participate in the economy and that it will, essentially, be a good thing when businesses can deny access to people without immunity. He’s espousing forced compliance. (So Libertarian of him: Not!)
As Utah adopts blockchain tech in all the various economic sectors (which we are doing at lightening speed due to COVID), we are being moved into a digital currency and losing our Republic to the Big Tech overlords.
“Thanks again teachers”? I am confused and saddened by the teacher bashing going on right now. It’s such a bummer to see that on your posts and the comments of your posts. I remember serving with you on Meredith’s H and S years ago. Have you forgotten those teachers? All your years in Philly public schools and you so readily join the teacher vilification camp? If you’re trying to spread awareness and concern about high-minded concepts of government control, then it baffles me that you include the public school workforce as a group to point fingers at. I was following you, but I think I’m out now. You just sound political, sadly, like so much else right now.
The teachers are sell outs. I deeply regret all the hours I gave advocating for them. What they are doing now made it a farce.
Interesting as someone who has home schooled / unschooled all of your own children and never engaged in any of the content I have been diligently sharing since all of this began. Those teachers have turned their backs on the children and you of all people know you would never force your own children to submit to what they have planned – blood draws on blockchain.
Where are the teachers speaking out against medicalizing schools? Against imposition of digital contact tracing? Against twisted social isolation protocols? Instead they are begging Comcast to take over their jobs to put children and families under digital surveillance and calling it “resistance.” The “social justice” teachers are completely MIA. Put in a fork in it – it’s over. Let the robots take over. I weep for the children.
I would not trust these people to teach my child. I just didn’t see who they actually were at the time. Now I know better. They have made that very clear. Their job is to serve up the next generation to meet the demands of virtual world builders and jailers.
A generation raised on Khan Academy will not resist techno-fascism. Rather they will be trained to compete against one another on behaviorist gamified platforms to see who can the most conformist.
Soon they won’t need human leaderboard managers – the AI can just zing them points for compliance.
I do homeschool, and I have taught in schools, and my kids have attended schools (currently one does now), and we worldschool, and my husband teaches in school, so we are all over the map in terms of schooling. We are flexible and would not paint any group of professionals who work with children with such a broad, negative brush. Teachers are the workforce, not the authorities, not the administrators, not the big-wig decision-makers, and not the think-tanks. Teachers go into teaching in order to teach. Generalizing teachers as the boogieman seems really misguided. This is like a twighlight zone conversation.
Good teaching, teaching that moves hearts and minds IS political – but not in a partisan way. Your decision not to have your kids in school and to take them to other countries for cultural experiences IS a political choice, too. It’s ALL political. I would challenge you to show anything in my threads that is partisan. I suspect there are people from across the political spectrum who contribute to these threads, but we understand that EVERYONE is in on the game, which is why we don’t talk about political parties. We talk about what is right and humane for children – period.
We have a RESPONSIBILITY to be role models and do the right thing. Silence, as so many social justice folks like to say, is complicity. If you are not fighting these draconian policies, you essentially endorse them.
I find it terrifying that so many people are willing to throw away the last vestiges of freedom remaining to us, all so that they can feel safe again – worse, that they are willing to sacrifice the freedoms of others, usually more vulnerable than themselves, so that they can enjoy the privileges of their lifestyles. That desire for safety is something that can never be satiated; it is essentially limitless, a false infinity opening up within a disordered soul, like an addiction, like the desire of the rich to heap up ever larger piles of (digital) wealth in their bank accounts – there’s never enough money, one always needs just a little bit more. So also with safety, and the desires for regimentation and control that are being supercharged by the desire for perfect safety. There will never be enough. America was sold that lie after Sept. 11, 2001, and at least a million, probably 2 or 3, perished as a result of this illusion. How many lives will be stunted, foreshortened, reduced to something inhuman and buglike in the years to come, all to pursue this illusion of safety, or protection from illness? I’ll give it to the technocrats, though: they learned from the failure of the Global War on Terrorism and the attendant security theater productions – not enough were convinced that this was the thing over which all liberty should be surrendered to the Panopticon, to the godawful blockchained anthill society elites have planned for us (and which they tell us about in their dull books). But disease – that’s the thing that will keep on giving – and taking: it will never go away, and neither will the human fear of mortality, especially among people stripped of any spiritual foundations. Stoke the infinite fires of the fear of disease and death, and many will beg to be treated like bugs or lab rats, or cattle on a feedlot, just to keep alive the thin, wan hope that they’ll somehow get out of this place alive. I’m truly disgusted, really. Because of my job, I’ve been reading about smart cities planning since the mid 90s. I didn’t do all the research, or connect all the dots; but I kinda knew what the geography was. I didn’t want to know all the details, because knowing the basics was terrifying enough, like a glimpse into the palantir in Lord of the Rings. But now, it’s just disgusting how people are rushing to comply with this anti-human future, believing that somehow compliance will save them. That future isn’t for us. It’s being done to us, for Them, for the technocrats, the people who draw up the plans beyond the reach of any democratic mechanisms I know of.
I could not agree more. As I said in my videos – the resistance is not going to come from the middle or professional class. They are brainwashed for the most part and unwilling to examine their complicity in the system. Most of us are complicit, but we have to wake up and make a plan. The above exchange shines a glaring spotlight on that. Many seem to prefer a pretend reality where they imagine they still have freedom while living in chains.
the librarians have disappointed me as much or more than the teachers. Removing books and putting in ridiculous alphabet climbing walls. It’s like some terrible dystopic novel, but it’s totally real and I feel like I am in bizarro land trying to point it out to people who refuse to look.
they are literally blockchaining toddlers and homeless people- no one left behind – Amply will be in my city soon – and yet rather than trying to wrap our minds around this problem far too many “intelligent” people seem to want to double down on their right to NOT know and be given a pass on the fall out. I just don’t get it. It must be psychology, compartmentalization, something, but I never studied it. Still – this is real dammit. https://vimeo.com/264055837
I have been quietly lurking trying to figure out how I’m to do this in a few weeks. If my district mandates staff and students to wear masks, temperature check, plastic partitions and I don’t agree, or I want to speak my opinion to students, how can I make a difference if they fire me?
at this event at Temple the community outreach coordinator for WHYY (NPR) said when I told her about PBS’s predictive profiling behavior training apps that she made her career on Ford Foundation grants and what did I expect her to do about it. AND the one women who raised the issue of race in the discussions ended up being part of the Solutions Journalism scheme and told me that she had been briefed on Amply. Banner day for sure. But hey, people are insisting I not panic, right? Because none of this is happening…only they are wrong.
Aren’t teachers mandated reporters? I think you could make a solid argument that what is being advanced is child abuse
that is why I am trying to figure out a sustainable living situation for people. I foresee a day when I will have a vaccine mandate for my job – or we will be meting out badges and I will have to figure out what to do next. We know how terrible things happen – people are afraid to speak up. I know none of this is easy, but sometimes it just takes a few people speaking out to change the trajectory. Also try to connect with your internal greater power – the power for good in the world. I was never a spiritual person before all of this hit – but there is a reason we are drawn together. There is something we are supposed to do and we are not alone. The creator would never want something to happen to hurt children. We have to believe that those forces for good are with us when we stand up. Reflect and ask for guidance and let the truth of your good heart shine through. I believe that like attracts like. I know it’s not easy. I hear you. These are scary times, but we are made for them.
I agree that it is child abuse and more. Much more. The community of parent and students are being shamed to do all the things to get the virus “under control” so we can open schools. So, implying that it’s their fault their children’s education is going to shit.
We have to be able to risk talking to each other about this – I mean I wonder if there could be a group of families willing to gather at a school board building and have a social learning experience. I think there is a lot of power in that – of non-violent resistance, but it would have to be everyone willing. You know if there are people who want this crazy medicalized blockchain model online – ok, but all children have the right to a free and appropriate public education and those who want to have a human-based education should be able to get it. The thing in the unions are solidly against it, so it would mean going against them to do it.
After talking to a colleague, I am wondering if actually one form resistance might take is all of us teachers going to our schools, inviting our students and families to join us and then just setting our own school schedule but learning together. A very weird work action..but I think one thing that might affirm we were on the right track was if the school district, city or state brought police to shut it down. It’s a confusing time. Forces being arrayed against us, but really hard to figure out how to fight them.
I just had to drive to the coast for an annual mammogram and saw that a local coffee place looked like it was open so I stopped, but instead of being open the door was blocked by a table where two young college students (Arctata is a college town ..Humboldt University) were masked behind the table and asked if I had a mask and said they could not serve me if I did not have one on. I said you know, this is probably the way this is meant to be forever more and they both said, yes, we know. I asked if they were OK with that and rthe girl said, we have to protect the community. I said Protect the community! You know you are giving up your futures, don’ you? At which point they both got condescending and said loudly GOODBYE! If college aged people are this unquestioning and compliant, I fear we are doomed. How do we fight back? On the hour’s drive home through the mountains I started thinking about the sales pitch and remembered the slogan “For the greater good.” If only we could help the youngsters who are thinking they are sacrificing for the greater good understand exactly what the greater good is. That the greater (the too big to fail corporations owned by the multinational billionaires) good (what’s good for the corporates and the rich)..not for us. How to do that before it’s too late? Any suggestions?
Have to say I feel like I’m bumping up against this with my own college student. Maybe the answer is a coven in the woods for the oldsters to wait out the asteroid hit or pole shift, lol….
And yet another post from her:
RANDA is pushing blockchain credentials – what you are seeing below is NOT just about education “accountability” or even “pay for performance.” No, this is about free market education linked to a digital all-seeing-eye, harnessed to serve global impact markets. The plan is no more schools – every “teacher” a free agent – every “learner” a free agent – but not actually free, because everyone’s “fitness” and “growth” will be tracked on blockchain forever – pre-k to grey. Teachers when you sit on your hands and listen to your union leaders and beg Comcast for Internet for your students – this is what is coming. If I seem angry with you, it’s because I know the future and I am trying to protect children. https://randasolutions.com/
Alison Hawver McDowell is correct… RANDA has been in Colo since 2013. The RANDA Tower system observes / evaluates (including videotapes) teachers. It also collects student Pii. Colorado requires contracted vendors to post their contracts. Here’s a list of state contracts

That would make sense. Social workers seem to have a lot of power, especially when it comes to children. HR are often dragons. Damn!
“Abolish the police” & “abolish prisons” are Trojan horses for private mercenaries, biopsychiatry & geofencing. Don’t be fooled! Social workers are the new Gestapo.
When your online friends, your words, your internet usage predict and profile you — be very aware of putting kids in front of a Videoconference or Edtech app.
“In the past, capturing information about somebody or analyzing a person’s statements to make a diagnosis relied on the skill, experience, and opinions of individual psychiatrists. But thanks to the omnipresence of smartphones and social media, people’s language has never been so easy to record, digitize, and analyze. And a growing number of researchers are sifting through the data we produce—from our choice of language or our sleep patterns to how often we call our friends and what we write on Twitter and Facebook—to look for signs of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and other syndromes.
To Rezaii and others, the ability to collect this data and analyze it is the next great advance in psychiatry. They call it “digital phenotyping.”
Time to reimagine Post Offices as Digital Identity trackers? This Council of Foreign Relations publication is from June 2019: “Thus, the Better Identity Coalition and other leaders in the field have looked to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to provide in-person identity-proofing services for online accounts, as it does for passport applications. While the USPS role would be useful for the online identity ecosystem, identity-proofing services would be far from the core mission of the postal service today: delivering the mail. Yet with mail volumes down and revenues declining, the postal service needs to find a way to stay relevant in the digital age, or it risks privatization, as proposed by the Donald J. Trump administration. Instead of taking on a limited role in in-person identity proofing, USPS should make identity services the cornerstone of a suite of new service offerings.”

EdTech is growing at 16.3% and will grow 2.5x from 2019 to 2025, reaching $404B in total global expenditure. Even at this level, EdTech and digital expenditure will only make up 5.2% of the $7.3T global education market in 2025. Driven by Higher Education tuition deflation, combined with faster/cheaper credible alternatives and digitization driving a lower administrative cost base across all sectors, HolonIQ has revised our Global Education and Training market size, downgrading total spending by ~$500B in 2025 compared with HolonIQ’s Pre-COVID outlook. We now expect the global education and training market to reach $7.3T in total expenditure by 2025 (all products and services and including digital).

The HR 2 will take millions to streamline the WQDI, Workforce Quality Data Initiative. Millions for the IES, Inst. of Ed Sciences for increased data tracking & Common Ed Data Standards updates.
It’s SLDS for adults. It’s almost comical how we predicted this.

Attention parents! Zoom has changed their K-12 privacy policy several times, including July 2020. They also changed their opt-in advertising cookies.
When you visit the Zoom for Education webpage, you will see a pop-up box asking if you want to opt-out of third parties using your information–DON’T IGNORE THIS WHEN YOU SEE IT; this alert doesn’t appear every time you visit the page. Every parent and school district, education official should click More Info and review the cookies on the Zoom for Education website.
Common Sense Media recently gave Zoom for Education a high rating for privacy even though they admit to the following uncertainties:
User information can be transferred to a third party. Unclear whether users are notified if their information is transferred to a third party. Unclear whether user information can be deleted prior to its transfer to a third party Unclear whether the vendor describes their deidentification process of user information. Unclear whether data are shared for research and/or product improvement. Unclear whether contractual limits prohibit third parties from reidentifying deidentified information.
And when they ask if there are advertisements or tracking, they say:
Traditional or contextual advertisements are displayed. The vendor can send marketing messages. The vendor does provide promotional sweepstakes, contests, or surveys. Users can opt out of traditional, contextual, or behavioral advertising. [should be opt-in for student advertising] Users can opt out or unsubscribe from marketing communications. [should be opt-in for student advertising]
What (little things) you can do to protect your student on Zoom.
In March 2020 we wrote a piece advising parents and educators to seek alternatives to screen time, get outdoors, cover your camera when possible. If your school requires your student to use Zoom, ask your school if your student can keep their camera off. We would add to turn off (opt-out) of non-essential cookies when possible. If using your home computer or device, you can install free plug-ins like EFF’s privacy badger, Lightbeam, Ghostery, UBlock that will also alert you or block third party trackers. You can also use a web browser like Brave or Firefox that will block ads and spyware.

This following happened to a friend in Arizona. Have you heard anything about what she’s talking about? My High School Junior just told me something very disturbing. One of his teachers asked him to stay on the zoom session after everyone logged off. She told him he was being targeted among a few other students. Being watched “his camera pinned” in every class. She vouched for him as staying logged in and keeping camera on and staying engaged. As did his other teachers. She also stated she doesn’t like it. And she’s not supppsed to say anything. I understand the legality. My kids were required to use school provided chrome books. Something that initially gave me pause when we were notified of it. I’m just trying to understand the need for the targeted watching? While he’s in his home? And what is the plan with this? When students disengage, slack off, don’t show up, don’t do their homework, lack focus and as a result they perform poorly on tests and earn a poor grade. That IS the consequence. A few things could happen in between. A teacher could reach out with concern based on what she’s seeing in the classroom and based on the turned in work. If it’s about attendance you’ll be noticed by the attendance line. The student doesn’t earn a good grade or falls behind and has to catch up. It’s an organic choice leads to consequence effect. Watching or spying is not ever been necessary or a even a thing. My son is not currently guilty of the above. He’s engaged in each class with his camera on. But that isn’t why I’m disturbed. Like he said “what are they going to do with this?” Any raw and authentic insight and opinion would be appreciated. We are all navigating this untraveled path with our children. And I appreciate hearing about anyone else’s on going on-line school experiences 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
In response to those saying “It’s just reality-We live in Zoom now” Perhaps. However, even more so, with kids being required to use these virtual platforms, we should be requiring that companies comply with all security and privacy laws — and be transparent about how they use, profile, or sell kids’ info. … I think I speak for most parents when I say that Zoom for Education (and all the virtual learning companies) should be required to tell parents how their children’s voice and video and data are used, and should be required to let parents know who else has access to our kids’ information. These companies should not be allowed to exploit students for marketing and advertising. This pandemic is tough enough, the last thing parents need is worrying about a company profiling their student.
Can’t find a non-subscriber version of this yet but it’s another argument against virtual schooling.
The Texas Tribune recently did a deal with ProPublica for a “jointly operated, 11-person investigative reporting unit serving Texas — an initiative that will invest more than $1.6 million a year into critical accountability and watchdog journalism.”
Guess who is a big funder of the Tribune deal? The guy from Enron who worked with Morath to take over Dallas ISD.
It’s kind of like the recent deal with the Dallas Morning News where local philanthropies are funding the education news they already control. They are all buddies:
DMN’s Mike Wilson said, “I think 10 years ago, I might have been more skeptical of this model, but we’ve seen it play out effectively in a lot of other contexts in journalism, including nonprofits like the Texas Tribune, and for-profit newspapers like the Seattle Times.”
We are the media now. They have abdicated their roles to bow at the feet of the fauxlanthropists.
Here are some of the fun guests for the upcoming Texas Tribune virtual event:
I’ve been (casually) keeping an eye on university newspapers and journalism depts, and they are absolutely under attack from propagandists. The faculty who taught the reporting of facts have been pushed out. Empathy and social impact journalism are all that remain.
people can’t see it. Alison Hawver McDowell called it “solutions journalism” and “impact media”, I think. Our newspapers and media outlets are being nudged into this space in order to stay alive. They are beholden to the oligarchy. Now it makes more sense why Steve Ballmer came to town and why DMN wrote about it TWICE.
And who isn’t being traumatized right now?! They’re making sure that EVERYONE is an impact opportunity. DontTakeTheBait
Look who is funding Pro-Publica: Lisa and John Pritzker Family Fund, Knight Foundation, Open Society Foundations (Soros), MacArthur Foundation , Ford Foundation , Annie E Casey Foundation, etc https://littlesis.org/org/131980-ProPublica

Here is a post from a friend of mine:
But we’re so resilient, adaptable, gritty, kind, empathetic, vibrant, inclusive, diverse, equitable, committed, trusted, reimagined, transformed, sustainable… !!!
Heckman. The same guy who developed the equation for determining the economic value of a child’s life.
“James Heckman, a Nobel Prize–winning economist at the University of Chicago, suggests researchers need to take to heart former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s adage: Never let a crisis go to waste. “Here, scientifically, I think we need to operate on that credo,” Heckman says. “We’re getting new information. It’s very valuable information.”
For some researchers, the pandemic has created an unexpected opportunity to run “natural experiments.” Unlike physicists or biologists, social scientists are frequently constrained from using controlled experiments to test hypotheses. No university, for instance, would approve an experiment that involved firing one group of workers and seeing how they fare compared with their still-employed colleagues. But interventions such as natural disasters—or a pandemic—can help create such experiments, if a researcher is ready to take advantage.
“According to the World Health Organization, Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) are conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age that impact their health. Socioeconomic data is information that provides insight into those conditions so healthcare organizations can better understand how the combination influences health. You will often hear terms like SDOH, socioeconomic data, and sociodemographic data used interchangeably in the market.”
I see they really target “medication management” with the excuse that rural areas and older people may not have access to a pharmacy. They’re damn right bc they ran the Independant pharmacies out of business w Marxist regulations. The “corner drugstore” and neighborhood pharmasict used to be a mainstay of every community. They’re replacing family responsibilities for hirelings collecting a paycheck.
And yet another post from her:
This is from an excellent blog that I recently discovered. Here, the author describes the regional planning networks (with cool maps!) that have been operating as shadow governments for decades. Later in the post, which takes Colorado (the vanguard of blockchain life!) as an example, the author explains the connection to broadband agreements and the surveillance panopticon. The Colorado example is very helpful for understanding what is happening in Oklahoma as well.
“Central economic planning for a communist system of economic management must begin with baseline information on the current economic status of a region. Michael Porter, Harvard University was the key “thought leader” in describing what came to be called Cluster Studies. A cluster study identifies businesses in a region and the relationships between businesses to identify the supply chain structures fo those businesses. The economic planners then use that information to increase the strength of a desired business or to put a business out of business by bringing in competitors using loss leader pricing. The Chamber of Commerce as an anchor institution with a membership of businesses is the facilitator of this aspect of central economic planning behind the rhetorical propaganda of competitiveness.
The following are several reports concerning cluster studies and their use:
A Governor’s Guide to Cluster-Based Economic Development
Industry Cluster Analysis: Regional Economic Base: Analysis
In previous work titled, The Organization of Power (Part 3), it was found that the Chamber of Commerce has a subgroup of executive leaders (Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives) and within that subgroup, there is another subgroup called the Alliance for Regional Stewardship. The history of the Alliance can be read HERE. You can go to the current website for ACCE and type in the search box Regionalism or Alliance for Regional Stewardship and you will find more information on their regional activities.” ________“The person who discovered the data said previous attempts to flag similar weaknesses in information security at the department were ignored years earlier.” If this doesn’t infuriate you… WTF.
“Angela Morabito, a spokeswoman for the Education Department, acknowledged the error but called it “nonevent.” The data was “was on the department’s secure, internal server, and there is no indication anyone outside the department could have had access to it,” she said. “There is also no indication anyone inside the department handled this file improperly.” But anyone at the federal agency, and some of its contractors, could have accessed the personally identifiable information through a shared folder before it was secured on Friday, putting thousands of people’s personal information at risk, according to internal documents obtained by The Washington Post….
“… A person with access to the database, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution, found files in December containing the Social Security numbers of nearly 200,000 applicants. The files, which should not have been accessible by this person, were available on a shared folder that is used by some contractors and various divisions within the agency.
Morabito said “department protocols prevent sensitive data from being emailed,” and that the department’s cybersecurity team would know if anyone tried to remove the data from the government’s servers. Asked if the department was certain that no one with access could have simply written down Social Security numbers for later use, Morabito did not respond. Cybersecurity expert Tony Scott, who served as the federal chief information officer during the Obama administration, said in general, federal agencies should encrypt files containing sensitive data, or create a two-step authentification process to secure the information.
“There is a legitimate need in some cases for people to share personally identifiable information,” Scott said. “But the policy is, generally, people have access just on a need-to-know or need-to-use basis.”
The person who discovered the data said previous attempts to flag similar weaknesses in information security at the department were ignored years earlier. So when this latest gap was discovered toward the end of last year, the person alerted congressional committees and expected the issue to be resolved.
During a House Education Committee hearing in December, Rep. Alma Adams (D-N.C.) didn’t mention the files specifically but asked Education Secretary Betsy DeVos whether she was taking appropriate steps to protect the personal information of defrauded borrowers. “Can you commit to reviewing the security of that data and reporting back to this committee to assure that current and future applicants and their data is being managed responsibly? Can you commit to that?” Adams asked DeVos.
“Yes, I commit to that, just as I commit to continuing to being responsive to data security across the board,” DeVos responded.
Everyone thought the issue had been resolved. But when the person looked at the shared folder last week, the files, now containing the sensitive data of about 240,000 people, were still accessible.
“The Department of Education’s mishandling of personally identifiable information adds insult to injury for defrauded borrowers, some of whom have waited more than three years for relief,” Rep. Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (D-Va.), chairman of the House Education Committee, said Tuesday. “The Department’s failure to faithfully implement Borrower Defense has already forced hundreds of thousands of borrowers to put their lives on hold. Now, it appears the Department exposed borrowers’ private data — an issue Secretary DeVos committed to addressing months ago.”
The Education Department’s Office of Inspector General contacted the department Thursday after learning about the files, according to Catherine Grant, a spokeswoman for the inspector general. Grant would not disclose whether the office has launched an investigation into the matter.
In an email exchange Thursday, IT contractors working for the department warned an internal cybersecurity team that the Federal Student Aid office had a bigger problem on its hand than it realized, and that there were ways to block access to the folders, according to documents reviewed by The Post.
By the next day, the department had shut off access to the data.
“We learned of this issue late Thursday, and within 24 hours, restored the proper file permissions to a more limited number of employees,” Morabito said. “We are currently conducting a comprehensive internal review.”…
It’s called a breach. Data should be encrypted. Access to files should be password protected. been ignored for years….WHO is making sure this doesn’t happen again? Will students be notified? Don’t collect, if you can’t protect.*
Google GSUITE for Ed — fired. “After more than 14 years at Google, my last day is today,” Jaime Casap, the company’s former chief education evangelist, said in a YouTube video posted on June 27. “This isn’t my choice. Several months ago, during one of Google’s reorganizations, it was determined that my role wasn’t vital and therefore was eliminated.”
From the “reorganized” link in the article: “Ben Gomes moves from Search to Education Gomes isn’t leaving Google; he’ll be taking on a new role connected to various Google education and learning initiatives: Google for Education, Google Scholar and education search, as well as Google Arts & Culture. These areas are said to be a “big priority” for the company with the increased importance of distance learning in the wake of COVID-19. Gomes, according to a Google spokesperson, will also remain a technical advisor to Search. Gomes has been at Google for 20 years and was one of its first principal engineers. He’s also described as “one of the founders of Google search.” This move makes total sense if one understands how Big Tech is starting to curate (control) online curriculum for states, districts, teachers and kids. We are losing local curriculum oversight to the radical ideologues that are creating internet search algorithms.
And yet another post from her:
Summit Learning (Chan Zuck Initiative) is under fire for how it uses and shares children’s data.
Over the past five years, the Summit Learning Platform has become one of the best-known online platforms and is now used in hundreds of schools. The closure of schools this past spring because of the coronavirus pandemic suggests that it could gain wide prominence.
The platform was developed by the Summit charter school network with help from Facebook engineers, and grew with the backing of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a for-profit business that started with a focus on individualized online learning.
The Summit platform markets itself on its website as a “complete, customizable, standards-aligned curriculum for grades 4 -12 in core subjects” that “comes with hands-on projects, teaching and learning resources, as well as assessments — all of which are customizable by educators.”
In recent years, concerns about student data privacy have been raised, and there have been protests in multiple places by students and parents objecting to the digital learning culture that it fosters.
On Thursday, the National Education Policy Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder released a research brief that critiques the Summit platform, titled “Big Claims, Little Evidence, Lots of Money: The Reality Behind the Summit Learning Program and the Push to Adopt Digital Personalized Learning Programs.”
The post below was written by Alex Molnar and Faith Boninger and is based on the new brief. Molnar is the publications director of the National Education Policy Center and a co-director of the center’s Commercialism in Education Research Unit. Boninger is also a co-director of that unit.
I asked Summit to respond to some questions raised in the research brief and its response follows the post. By Alex Molnar and Faith Boninger
The covid-19 pandemic has intensified the focus on virtual education and digital technology in schools. Technology platforms are now being marketed as affordable solutions to the problems that have arisen as schools search for safe ways to provide high quality education programs.
The Summit Learning Program, including the digital Summit Learning Platform at its heart, is among the most prominent and widely promoted digital personalized learning packages in the United States. We have spent the past year studying Summit Public Schools and the Summit Learning Program (a/k/a “Summit Learning”) it created. Our findings offer a warning to communities, schools, and states currently exploring virtual learning, particularly in the form of “off-the-shelf” digital personalized learning programs.
We found no solid research evidence to support the claims Summit Public Schools makes related to the success of its whole-school digital personalized learning program. Instead, we found anecdotes and fragments of self-selected data served up by a Chan Zuckerberg Initiative-financed marketing program designed to “create the societal conditions” amenable to widespread adoption of personalized learning and to persuade potential and current “partner” school communities that “Summit Learning works.”
We also found a curriculum and assessment program that requires that massive amounts of student data be recorded by Summit’s proprietary digital platform. And finally, we found provisions in contracts with partner schools that provide for the transfer of the student data collected by its digital platform to Summit Learning and thereby also to its long-term technology partner, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, for their use in perpetuity.
Summit Public Schools, founded in 2003, currently operates 11 schools enrolling approximately 4,675 students in California and Washington State. In 2013-2014, there was no Summit Learning Program or “partner” schools. Things changed quickly after a 2014-2015 agreement between Summit and Facebook established the goals of enhancing Summit’s self-created software platform and collaborating on a marketing strategy for its nationwide adoption.
Since then, Summit Public Schools has received extensive technical support from Facebook and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and almost $200 million in funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and others.
Summit Public Schools claims that its educational program does an exceptional job of preparing students for college and that its graduates succeed in college. Its specific claims are that its students are “100 percent Eligible For 4-Year College,” that “98 percent [of its students are] accepted to four-year college,” and that its students graduate from college at “2X the national average.”
These claims are at the heart of the marketing pitch made to schools across the country by Summit Learning. Schools that agree to become “partner” schools agree to adopt Summit’s free off-the-shelf program, use its digital platform, and participate in the required staff trainings and Summit-organized support activities.
“Partner” schools are told that, as a result, their students will be equipped with the skills that colleges and modern workplaces demand; that their teachers will be freed from mundane tasks so they can mentor students; and, that student achievement and life competence will improve.
This marketing pitch has met with considerable success. By the 2018-2019 school year, nearly 400 schools nationwide, with nearly 3,800 educators and more than 72,000 students, were using the Summit Learning Program.
Summit Public Schools — and, since 2019, T.L.P. Education, an organization Summit Public Schools spun off to manage the Summit Learning Program — has persuaded schools to adopt a program based on largely unsupported claims of Summit Public Schools success, even as it gets millions of dollars of support from well-heeled backers.
This may be the reason Summit Public Schools leadership maintains a careful public face and assiduously avoids providing more or different information than it has chosen to share as part of that public face. Our experience researching Summit Public Schools and Summit Learning mirrors the struggle of some district officials and parents who have tried, with limited if any success, to obtain information about their schools’ use of Summit Learning.
We found Summit Public Schools unwilling to provide basic information about the educational program and platform that it created and has aggressively promoted. When we requested information from Summit Public Schools related to its claims of success, its instructional program, its curriculum, and its digital platform, Summit staff were unfailingly polite, but nonresponsive. They declined our request for an interview.
When we submitted our questions via a California Public Records Act request on Nov. 5, 2019, Summit Public Schools’s lawyer claimed that the Summit Learning Program and Summit Learning Platform, created and used by Summit Public Schools, had nothing to do with the operation of Summit Public Schools.
He declined to answer questions about the Summit Learning Program and the Summit Learning Platform, including questions about data security and the procedures Summit Public Schools followed upon receiving a request from a partner school to destroy its students’ data.
As of June 25, Summit Public Schools has failed to provide any of the information we sought in our public records request. T.L.P. Education, the nonprofit organization that currently administers Summit Learning, never responded to our many inquiries and is not subject to California’s Public Records Act.
We were able to obtain copies of a few contracts between Summit Public Schools and “partner” schools. What we learned was troubling.
The Summit Learning Platform collects a lot of data about “partner” school students. It obtains some of these data — such as English Language Learner information, school attendance information, state assessment data, and bus pickup and drop-off locations — from school data systems as part of Summit Learning’s contractually defined status as a “school official.”
It gets other data — such as project grades, student goals and mentoring notes — when teachers and students voluntarily enter them in the Summit Learning Platform. It collects still other data automatically as students work within the Summit Learning Platform. Among these are such details as students’ content assessment attempts and results, times and locations of activity, and IP addresses.
Particularly disturbing is the careful distinction the contracts make between personally identifiable “student data” and “de-identified data.” The contracts set limits only on the use of “student data,” and Summit’s privacy policy notes that it de-identifies “personal information” for uses including research and product improvement.
The 2018 contracts we examined allow Summit to retain and use “de-identified data” in perpetuity for any legal purpose. They also allow Summit to “destroy” the identifiable “student data” by de-identifying it. “De-identifying” student data does not “destroy” it in the sense that most people understand the term.
Nevertheless, the term “de-identified data” sounds reassuring. It seems to promise that anyone who possesses those data will not be able to identify individual students. This is, however, not the case. Computer scientists and data experts have known for more than a decade that so-called de-identified data can be easily reidentified.
The contracts we examined allow Summit to share de-identified data with third parties such as the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, its long-term technology partner. “Lawful” uses of those data may include analyzing it for insights about student learning and psychology using big data statistical methods, selling it to third parties or creating for-profit enterprises to exploit it — all of which may legally be done without the knowledge and consent of either students or their parents.
Given this context, it is concerning to note that compared to the 2017 contract we reviewed, the 2018 “partner” school contract we analyzed expanded Summit Learning’s (and thereby the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative’s) right to access and use de-identified student data.
Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook have taught the world that data are fungible and can mean big money. And, also that data can be very dangerous when controlled by an opaque organization immune to public oversight. Regardless of who is named the owner of student data in partner school contracts, as Summit Learning’s technology partner, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has full access to the de-identified data and certainly has access to the technical expertise to re-identify it.
Though it is often thought of as a charity, it is important to note that the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is neither a charity nor a philanthropic organization. It is a limited liability corporation. A business. As a result, although it may make charitable contributions, it may also make political contributions, engage in political lobbying, and invest in for-profit companies.
Among the things the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative can gain from its collaboration with Summit Learning is access to significant amounts of student data that it can convert into a considerable amount of money.
The Summit Learning Program is a slickly marketed digital personalized learning program that has provided no solid evidence that it can or has delivered on its promise to provide a higher quality education with superior student outcomes in the schools that adopt it.
Moreover, aside from any valid education purpose, its approach to assessment and collection of information about students through the Summit Learning Platform, coupled with enabling contract language, opens the door to the transfer of large amounts of student data to third parties without oversight or accountability. These concerns are compounded by the overall lack of organizational transparency of Summit Public Schools and now also of T.L.P. Education.
The rapid spread of the Summit Learning Program since 2015, despite the lack of convincing evidence that it can deliver on its promises, provides a powerful example of how schools, their leaders, and their communities have been outgunned and outplayed by a well-financed push to get them to adopt digital personalized learning programs.
There is now an urgent need for policymakers to move quickly to protect the public interest by establishing regulatory oversight and accountability mechanisms related to digital platforms and personalized learning programs.
Based on our research, we have made a number of recommendations to state policymakers. For example, we recommend that states create an independent government entity to evaluate and publicly report on the pedagogical approaches, assessment, and data collection embedded in digital personalized learning products before determining whether they may be used by public schools.
To avoid creating privacy threats to student data and undermining their pedagogical program we recommend that before state, district and school-level officials consider digital personalized learning programs they first define their values, goals, and practices and clarify how a proposed digital personalized learning approach would advance those values, goals and practices.
Establishing state oversight and conducting the kind of rigorous review we recommend is more complicated and more difficult than quickly adopting a slickly marketed, turnkey digital personalized learning program.
Summit submitted a lengthy response. Here is an edited version:
TLP Education has one of the toughest privacy policies in the field. Educators, students and families control their own data. … Protecting student privacy is our top priority and data is solely used for educational purposes. There are no exceptions to this, and we share our privacy policy on our website in our dedicated Privacy Center for full transparency.
Common Sense Media — one of the most trusted and objective independent evaluators — gave Summit Learning one of the highest possible scores in a recent evaluation. You can find their evaluation of the Summit Learning program on their website here. When you are referring to student data, it’s important to note that the only information we have access to is the academic information that teachers outside of our platform have been using for years to drive student progress — information like grades, progress, and attendance. School staff, parents, guardians, teachers and students own and control their own personal information.
In addition to having one of the highest possible privacy scores, we also go above compliance to ensure student information is safe. On top of our compliance with federal privacy laws like the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), we voluntarily comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and are committed to the Software & Information Industry Association and Future of Privacy Forum’s Student Privacy Pledge …
We’re proud of the progress and positive data we are seeing in our partner schools across the country. Schools and districts across the country using Summit Learning have reported positive impacts of the program, including higher test scores, increased student engagement, stronger attendance rates and improvements in student behavior.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY WAS CREATED BY THE CLUB OF ROME IT IS NOW THE GREEN NEW DEAL – In both Canada and the United States, new companies and technologies are changing the world as we know it, faster than ever before. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation works with these cutting-edge companies to design circularity into their business models, and to discover how they can enable the transition to a circular economy. Collaborating with city governments helps to understand how the circular economy can be implemented in dynamic and diverse urban environments, and how citizens, the environment, and the economy will benefit.
THE GREEN NEW DEAL WHICH IS ACTUALLY THE CLUB OF ROME CIRCULAR ECONOMY.. A circular economy is a systemic approach to economic development designed to benefit businesses, society, and the environment.
The new paradigm, circular economy,[ New Green Deal] is based on three principles: design out waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use and regenerate natural systems. Another way to put this is consuming better, spending less and using rather than buying.There is a catch to all of this industrialists that run the United Nations are not the ones stepping up to build recycling stations and governments are not pushing recycling as was once done in the 70s and 80s. It turns out that the recycling industry is a failure as a money maker. So, the industrialists that run the United Nations have stuck with the primary source of income – what they can dig out of the ground to make into products. A circular economy requires limiting growth. Limiting the growth of what? Limiting economic growth. But that leads to the need to limit the growth of something else.. What is that something else ? Think of eugenics by a virus . Think who are the real useless eaters at this time . Could it be the elderly , could it be those with a immune deficiency ————- those who can no longer work .. The climate change lies did nothing to make John Q. Public fall in line with the narrative that the planet is dying. The planet is not dying but the global governance elites are killing it and their lust for power is what is unsustainable. The more the ego gets, the more it wants. Climate change – Green New Deal recycling – and COVID-19 are deliberately , planned disasters designed to work together to show the servants who is in power
The definition of a circular or “green” economy is to increase recycling and stopping the use of non-renewables like trees. “Green” for you and me means more trees and less people. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff says over 300 companies have agreed to help plant one trillion trees
There is no democracy on earth now. All the nations use the word “democracy” to keep people believing they have rights but people’s rights have been removed step by step since the Reagan years. Both circular economics and viral epidemics destroy economies and people.
federal government regulation of GM foods was set in 1986 during the Reagan administration, in a document by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy called the Coordinated Framework for Regulation of Biotechnology. The document concluded that foods made with genetic engineering techniques are not fundamentally different from conventional foods in terms of overall composition, so there was no need for legislation specifically dealing with GM foods. In other words, agencies should use the same regulatory processes to evaluate conventional and GM foods. Ultimately, the document established that regulation should focus on the nature of the final food product rather than the process by which the food product is made
2014 article – The Club of Rome is a Swiss-based global think tank founded in 1968 consisting of current and former heads of state, UN bureaucrats, government officials, diplomats, scientists, economists and business leaders. Its latest report, to be released on 12th June, conducts a comprehensive overview of the history and evolution of mining, and argues that the increasing costs of mineral extraction due to pollution, waste, and depletion of low-cost sources will eventually make the present structure of industrial civilisation unsustainable.
I write a lot about Social Impact Investing, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset, and other topics that might not be familiar to a wide audience. This short video gives a good intro to the horror that awaits us and our children if we don’t resist the economic implosion that is being forced upon us. PLEASE take a few moments to view this. When the Chamber of Commerce talks about “workforce development” and “lifelong-learning,” THIS is what they mean. Social impact investing in Human Capital projects is when investors support the development of human capital skill sets through edublocks/ledger technology.

Breanna Taylor’s neighborhood was zoned for the Vision Russell development plan which is part of the Choice Neighborhood Iniative, under ICLEI and Agenda21. “Sustainable Development” is language the political class uses to hide their looting of land and resources.
“Lawyers for Taylor’s family allege in court documents filed in Jefferson Circuit Court Sunday that a police squad — named Place-Based Investigations — had “deliberately misled” narcotics detectives to target a home on Elliott Avenue, leading them to believe they were after some of the city’s largest violent crime and drug rings.”
Any investigative bloggers out there who could help cover an ongoing crisis in Melbourne, Australia? There’s a public housing development that’s been locked down and it’s very serious. Reach out if you or someone you know could help. I’ll continue to post updates from my local friend. Thank you!
And some replies to this post:
Praying for those involved. I can easily see something like this happening anywhere ; given there doesn’t seem to be masses of people waking up to the true agenda. There is no let up on this mask fiasco that I’ve seen. And its hitting 100 degrees! Those who continue to swallow this agenda will have to swallow their pride to admit they were conned. If we want our children to have a fighting chance in this world run by priests of mystery babylon, we’ve ggot to wake up .
Everyone complies with the mask mandate, but a segment of the population such as special ed and rape victims have issues with mask compliance. It is easier for schools to offer some students 100% remote learning and avoid labor costs by simply denying real education to those who can’t wear masks. No masks, no entrance? Smart move! Kids who want some social experience will accept whatever just to get a spot in school.
You’re right. Of course, the “independent” , very small private school I’ve been shelling out huge bucks to for 14 yrs is “following CDC guidelines” — just received an email outlining the fricking rules for kids to play sports..(NO passing, throwing, kicking or serving any balls to another student)— I kid you not. And you can’t get out of contract signed last Jan,unless you move 300 miles away.
So many 5G towers along midwestern interstates. Hardly a stretch where there isn’t one on the horizon. This taken at an Iowa rest stop advertising IoT wireless vending – all the better to track your junk food / soda intake so it can be factored into your health behavior compliance score. Smart LED lights in the parking area. The picnic shelters all had quotes – this one from the Music Man. Have to say the trouble is going to come from the 4IR robots, not the pool tables. Better that people start gathering in pool halls to strategize how to derail the coming techno-fascist regime now being ushered in under the guise of medical apartheid. Oh yeah – Hoover wayside. Prepare for IoT Hoovervilles in the post-Covid economic collapse aka Davos reset. Did you miss my cheery posts, lol?
And some replies to this post:
I was seeing those things along I-80. Was pretending to shoot them as we went to PA and back for my brother’s wedding. I even think I saw a 5G tower right by the Tower of Voices at the 9/11 memorial in PA.
SO MANY – it’s creeping me out. I keep wondering if any of the other drivers get it…but probably listening to the “Robopocalypse” audio-book has primed me. Check it out – it’s better than the title suggests. Human resistance based out of the Osage Nation, OK.
Seeing all these in industrial corn fields makes me think they are getting ready for autonomous harvest / planting / drone spraying IoT ag systems. But along interstates could also be driverless trucking, too.
I think it might be vehicle tracking. My aunt, who used to live in Singapore, told me that over a decade ago, they had something in their cars or whatever that would charge them a toll when they went into the downtown. They could use these things to track for mileage taxes, tolls by miles, etc, as well as movement. And my concern is that it won’t be just phones being tracked by this stuff, but all sorts of IoT stuff, even watches and possibly pacemakers.
See how this is coming together? My journey to techno-fascism began with a question I had about education, and why it was that so many ed-tech companies were using the same language (of impact, workforce development, 21st century skills, innovation, equity, etc.), taking such a keen interest in academia, and partnering with Chambers of Commerce and Venture Philanthropy.
The answer: they want children’s human capital data. They want everyone’s data, but the younger the person, the greater the ROI for impact investors. Because impact investing ROIs are determined by future-cost offsets that are linked to specific behaviors, and because younger children can be shaped and managed more efficiently than older persons, personality data and data about how young children make decisions is particularly valuable. Recorded on the blockchain ledger, this data will contribute to the child’s SocialCreditScore.
ONLINE GAMING COLLECTS THIS DATA FROM CHILDREN. And it will be used to refine algorithms guiding Impact Investors’ big bets on human capital outcomes.
Social Distancing and Video Games: A New Way to Learn and Interact
Sofía García-BulléJuly 3, 2020
Online games offer children an opportunity for human contact and socialization in times of social distancing.
Last March, one of the most widely used platforms worldwide to play online games, Steam, surpassed 20 million active users, while the “Call of Duty: Warzone” game reached 15 million. In May, “Animal Crossing” attained 11 million players.
An unprecedented digital exodus is happening in the community of gaming fans. However, how does this relate to social distancing and the mental health of children and young people?
Because of the precautionary measures that have closed millions of schools and college campuses around the world, students find themselves not only in need to continue learning but also in search of interaction and socialization outside the school to continue developing their social skills and emotional intelligence. Surprisingly, that space is being filled with video games.
A change in the gamer community
Before the pandemic, the interest of video game fans dominated the dynamics of the gaming community. People meeting each other in multiplayer video game sessions usually became friends after playing the same title and joining the game consistently in the multiplayer modes. Nowadays, we are experiencing the phenomenon in reverse. Young girls and boys use the gaming platforms to have contact with friends from school from whom they have become estranged because of the social distancing measures.
The video game creation platform Roblox is one of the most used by students to engage in cooperative online activities, be creative, and maintain a healthy frequency of social interaction with other children and young people.
Roblox is similar to Minecraft in the sense that it provides users with a set of tools to create various environments from scratch. Yet, Roblox takes it a step further, facilitating the creation of complete games that can be shared and sold on the platform. In this way, the players are not only having fun and sharing with other users but also learning the basics of how a game is structured based on code.
A game with a purpose
The response of children and young people to games that allow them to be creative and social has been enormous. Roblox has 120 million active users per month. According to company statistics, 52% of adolescents are spending more time with friends they previously knew in person, and 69% are playing more because of the isolation conditions imposed by the pandemic.
Besides the positive effects that this exercise of creativity and socialization is having on students, these types of games offer the possibility not only of learning to program video game designs but also really earning an income by creating a new game.
Success stories about young programmers who used Roblox to potentialize their intellectual properties (IPs) show the power of the platform beyond its use as a creative pastime and a vehicle for interactions to alleviate the effects of isolation.”
See how this is coming together? “Letting your kids know ahead of time that schools may need to close again will help them to be prepared for the period of adjustment ahead. It’s also important to continue to remind them that learning can happen anywhere – at school and at home – and that they can also keep in touch with and support their friends online in the meantime Safe and monitored use of online games, social media and video chat programmes can provide great opportunities for children to connect with, learn and play with their friends, parents and relatives while at home. You could also encourage your children to use their voices online to share their views and support those in need during this crisis. You can encourage your children to take advantage of digital tools that get them up and moving, like online exercise videos for kids and video games that require physical movement. Remember to balance online recreation with offline activities, including time outside, if possible.”
Where are the teamsters on 5g and autonomous truck transport? I saw a number of towers in IL that had empty brackets indicating recent installation.
And here is a reply to this post:
They used lockdown to install without resistance. Just like the ALEC legislation passed in 2011 for education privatization and oil /gas drilling ( preventing local control), states passed legislation allowing installation in towns across this country. Our town had installation within the first three weeks of lockdown.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
HeadsUp: Zoom. Colorado Board of Education voted to have the state Attorney General investigate privacy and security issues surrounding Zoom use in schools. The Board will be discussing Zoom at tomorrow’s Wed July 8,2020 Board meeting. One HUGE issue: Zoom, as a contracted vendor in some schools, is not compliant with state law– has not told schools or parents what data points it collects, how Zoom uses student data, what subcontractors have access to student data. #HB1423 Does Zoom get a free pass?
Broadband companies suing Maine state law– in hopes of quashing broadband privacy laws in all states.
The Most Important Privacy Case You’ve Never Heard Of
Privacy:from the pay-attention dept Tue, Jun 30th 2020 12:00pm — Gigi Sohn and Jeff Gary
“One of the most important privacy cases you’ve never heard of is being litigated right now in a federal district court in Maine. ACA v. Frey is a challenge by the nation’s largest broadband Internet access providers to a Maine law that protects the privacy of the state’s broadband Internet users. If the broadband providers prevail, this case could eliminate sector-specific privacy laws across the nation, foreclose national privacy legislation, and have broad implications for broadband regulation generally.
In May 2019, the Maine legislature overwhelmingly passed LD 946, “An Act to Protect the Privacy of Online Consumer Information.” The law largely tracks the now-repealed FCC’s 2016 broadband privacy rules, requiring broadband providers to obtain customer consent before disclosing, selling or otherwise using customer personal information. When the Maine bill was being considered, broadband providers complained that the law didn’t apply to online companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon. If everyone was treated the same, they claimed, they would support privacy legislation.
But the industry’s lawsuit shows that its true intent is to avoid privacy regulation of any kind. Instead, they claim that giving consumers any control over their own data violates the First Amendment rights of the broadband providers to market goods and services. The industry also claims that by targeting only broadband providers, and not edge providers or any other company, the law is based on their status as a “speaker” and should be subject to “strict scrutiny” under the First Amendment, which requires a law to be “narrowly tailored to serve a compelling state interest.”
The court should reject these arguments. Should it accept them, it would set the stage for overturning any and all sector-specific privacy laws as unconstitutional “speaker-based” violations of the First Amendment. If that were the case, then federal and state laws regulating the privacy practices of, among others, hospitals, financial institutions, pharmacies, credit reporting agencies, and libraries would all fall. Maine alone has nearly a dozen sector-specific laws. Now multiply that by 51.
The broadband industry argues that there’s no good reason to regulate it differently than any other company. But their claim that “no special characteristics of ISPs justify that distinction” doesn’t reflect reality. Broadband access providers do have “special characteristics” that other companies—including edge providers—do not.
As the FCC found in 2016, a broadband provider “sits at a privileged place in the network, the bottleneck between the customer and the rest of the network.” This gatekeeper position allows broadband providers to see every piece of digital information a customer sends and receives over the Internet while on the network, often including the content of the information. Broadband providers see every website a customer visits, every communication they make, every device they use and, in many cases, every location they have visited.
Despite Big Broadband’s breathless objections, the principles underlying Maine’s broadband privacy law are nothing new. Instead, the law fits within a longstanding tradition of state and federal laws that prohibit those that deliver messages of all kinds—whether paper or electronic—from disclosing any information relating to those packages; in other words, a duty of confidentiality. This “common law” covers everyone from the post office to the telephone company to a broadband provider.
The reasoning is simple: in order to receive service, customers must expose their personal information to those entities. Like the post office or a telephone company, broadband providers shouldn’t be allowed to unfairly exploit that information or reveal that information to others for profit. None of these laws violate the First Amendment. If this duty of confidentiality were found to be unconstitutional, all these laws, and those that protect lawyer/client, doctor/patient, and other fiduciary relationships would fall as well.
In any case, the core behavior prohibited by the statute—collecting and selling data—isn’t even speech. The First Amendment typically protects “expressive” activity—something meant to convey a message. Instead, the law regulates the commercial exchange of data. Just because the data could potentially transmit information does not make it expressive. My former colleagues at Public Knowledge said it best in a “friend of the court” brief supporting the State of Maine:
Selling a collection of data to be used as a tool to develop products, enhance a search engine or develop marketing strategies is no more “expressive” than selling inside information to enhance a stock trade or selling paper at a retail outlet. The customer data is not commercial speech “proposing a transaction,” it is the object of the transaction. [. . . ] No one has ever found that regulation of raw materials – such as marble or paper – that imposes incidental burdens on speakers as well as others raises First Amendment concerns.
While the broadband industry should lose this case, there are never any guarantees. A decision favoring the broadband industry would put every consumer privacy bill and law—including those seeking to regulate the data collection and data protection powers of big technology companies, retailers, banks, hotels, credit reporting agencies and others—at risk, whether or not they are sector specific. Worse, a broad ruling in favor of the industry’s First Amendment “rights” could put other regulations at risk, including net neutrality and other efforts to protect consumers and promote competition. While normally a federal district court case in the sparsely populated state of Maine wouldn’t raise much nationwide attention, ACA v. Frey should. The future of consumer privacy protections may depend on it.

Pennsylvania is forcing masks on schoolchildren all day except to eat, along with social isolation. 20 minutes in the grocery store, huh? We’re living in a mentally ill society.
And some replies to this post:
China lost no children to Covid19 but several children to mask wearing whilst exercising.
At the begininng I figured this was a test to see how they could push us. I no longer think it is. I think this is it. Everything will just keep sliding from here until we have to physically fight our way out of being chipped and locked in smart cities
I agree. We’re grieving so hard bc it feels like we’ve been given a terminal diagnosis, and basically we have.
Sometimes I get depressed, especially because of the financial hardships this is bringing. But then I remember I always knew even as a very young girl, spiritually, that I came here to this time by my choosing and for a reason. I now know what that reason and while we may wish we didn’t have to go through it I think many if not most of us who can see what is happening and aren’t fooled came here for this. To be here. To fight. And it’s not that it makes it any easier but it reminds me to take responisbilty and follow the destiny I chose for myself. To fight empire.
funny I had this same sense as a child. It was not empire but evil that I had to fight.
I think they are the same. But I hear ya ❤✨. Too bad our society wants to indoctrinate our innate connection to the universe and conditions us to ignore it and turn it off. And I think this is why the point of this post is so pwerful They accomplish the complete subjugation of our spirit and love starting as a child Imagine the future generations if we do not stand up and stop this? How will it effect children spiritually and psychologically to be muzzled and forced to stay apart from each other? It truly breaks my heart imagining it. I know I will fight this with everything in me including my life if I have to because it is atrocity.
Rumor has it that Governor Northam in Virginia is going to extend the mask mandate until June 2021. This is 4th or 5th hand information so take it with a grain of salt. Meanwhile, Maryland’s governor is off on a book tour……
How often will they test school children?
With the fraudulent nonsensical tests? idk but this whole operation is about exploiting them & stealing their future.
And the data shows unequivocally that children are largely unaffected by covid, with a 0.0% chance of dying from it.
They will shove a swab somewhere. The baseball players are tested every two days. They will torture the children without thought.
Yes it’s what they do. I saw a headline that children are best tested rectally.
It’s starting to make me feel off that’s for sure. The feeling of a bleak future is not helping either what next?
I really hope it’s starting to dawn on more people that we are under attack.
They better not make them wear masks when they are exercising. Those masked kids in china who were running died, and several masked adults who were running had collapsed lungs.
As I understand it they will be forced to wear masks during gym.
This was yesterday at my son’s summer camp… in 85 degree humid weather! My heart breaks to see these kids muzzled. My son is the only one NOT wearing one (he’s not pictured here) with a medical exemption written from his doctor. [Picture removed by me]
oh my gosh!! Where do you live? Most of the camps around me make you wear them at drop off and pickup which is stupid. I guess the virus can tell the difference.
I’m in Massachusetts. It’s been ridiculous here from the start. We’ve had a mask mandate for almost 2 months now and the masses are getting vicious towards “non-compliers”. I got ridiculed, shamed, and attacked yesterday at the store for not wearing one. It’s horrible. 😦
I’m in MD. We’ve had thr mandate since April I think. Its getting really bad here too with mask shaming. My husband had the police called on him. Luckily they didn’t show up.
I have a medical exemption because of a breathing condition. My doctor told me not wear a mask two years go. It’s very upsetting to go to a store and they have these signs everywhere and arrows on the floor and 1984 talk from the speakers telling you to social distance, blah, blah! And that’s if they even let you in. The larger chains usually do if you call ahead because they know that they cannot legally make you wear a mask because it’s technically practicing medicine without a license. I called our health department to see if I needed a doctor’s note because I’m exempt and the person I talked to said I simply can’t go in. I told her about the ADA and she didn’t know what that was!
Again this reminds me off what men did and still.do to women in a patriarchal society,it is a repression and control in that case and the CV19 Both of which will use a mirriads of excuses and reasons to justify such abuse and if we do not nip it at the bud it will be that much harder to weed out
It seems very dominating and ominous to look at the picture of the man standing above (like a position of power) over the toddler girl and place the mask upon her face. It gives me the creeps and I suffered a horrible series of violent attacks when I was 17 by a few men and was gagged over the mouth. My heart races when I put on the mask (we have to in California to enter any indoor facilities)
And another post from her:
Remember when Ventura County threatened to remove family members from the home? Deaths are decreasing, we’ve reached herd immunity, why now? What if it’s your child and you’re not allowed to see them?
July 2: “Toronto’s top public health official is recommending that the city establish a quarantine facility to “support members of the general population who need to self-isolate but are unable to do so safely.”
The recommendation is contained in a report by Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eileen de Villa that was considered during a virtual meeting of the city’s board of health on Thursday morning.
In the report, de Villa says that idea behind a centralized quarantine facility would be to provide a safe space where “specific groups of cases and contacts where home isolation or quarantine is likely to be suboptimal” could reside.
An example of this would be people who live in large, crowded households where adequate space is not available to follow isolation or quarantine guidelines,” she said.
The risk of COVID-19 shouldn’t depend on where you live, how much you make, or how many bathrooms you have in your home”, Board of Health Chair Joe Cressy said in a press release following the meeting.”
Here is a post from Alison:
It feels like everything I’ve been working to expose about the amplification of public education as a racist technological vehicle for privatization, social surveillance, and human capital finance is rushing forward at full tilt and most educators – even ones I thought understood the dangers – are embracing it. All that research – straight in the giant Covid rubbish bin. Welcome to anytime, anywhere, AI learning folks. Once that horse is out of the barn, face-to-face instruction will be a luxury available only to the rich.
And another post from her:
Pit stop at Loomis Physics Laboratory on the campus of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Home of US military-backed, Skinnerian operant conditioning via online education – PLATO. Very relevant as the same military / finance interests seek the complete takeover of “education” delivery for human capital markets.
We can say NO to the Covid reset – no liberation in the PLATO model for those forced to consume content and demonstrate compliance – the only “freedom” lies in the hands of those tapped to code the game. Highly recommend the book “The Friendly Orange Glow” that lays it all out.
Be sure to read Paul (edu-block) Leblanc’s pitch to the World Economic Forum that online higher ed is the only option in the Covid era. Predators – then and now.
My sister, used to have prof tenure at a college. She dropped it to write a novel which never happened, due to other unforeseen circumstances. She now teaches L A high school online zoom Eng comp/lit classes. She says NOT ONE student turned in their final assignment. I’ve heard the same news from other teachers face-to-face and online. Online/zoom education is NOT WORKING, at least below 12th grade. Kids are not benefiting at all.
That is interesting information. I’ve known about “PLATO” but never knew from whom or where is started, and I think most online school follow that model like Phoenix Univ, DeVry, etc. I wonder what it looks like now.
It was taken over by Control Data Corp in the 1970s.
I just saw the news that the CSU chancellor is saying that California state schools may be online up to 24 months at a minimum. Is there any college immune to this? I don’t know what to tell my boys.
maybe Hillsdale, but I don’t know of any others.
And another post from her:
Stopped in Indianapolis today on behalf of many mothers to say we do not give our consent to the Lumina Foundation, Salesforce, Eli Lilly Pharma or the Lilly Endowment to carry out their human capital agenda through debt, surveillance of social work or education activities, or bio-engineering. We must be willing to see it and fight together, especially on behalf of targeted communities.

What is evident is that the deeper a corporation’s ties with the WEF, the greater its ability to ‘shape‘ the group’s agenda. Which brings us to what the WEF call their Strategic Intelligence platform – the mechanism which brings all the interests that the WEF concentrate on together.
They describe the platform as ‘a dynamic system of contextual intelligence that enables users to trace relationships and interdependencies between issues, supporting more informed decision-making‘.
As for why the WEF developed Strategic Intelligence, they say it was to ‘help you (businesses) understand the global forces at play and make more informed decisions‘.
Growing the platform is an ever present goal. The WEF are always looking for new members to become part of Strategic Intelligence by joining the ‘New Champions Community‘. But they will only allow a new organisation on board if they ‘align with the values and aspirations of the World Economic Forum in general‘. A 12 month ‘New Champions Membership‘ comes in at €24,000.
In arguing for the relevance of Strategic Intelligence, the WEF ask:
How can you decipher the potential impact of rapidly unfolding changes when you’re flooded with information—some of it misleading or unreliable? How do you continuously adapt your vision and strategy within a fast-evolving global context?

MORE ON WHITE BEAR LAKE BOOKS– CANCEL CULTURE
More pictures are circulating from people who live close to Sunrise Middle School in White Bear Lake school district. Here is what one individual wrote about what they encountered.
“UNBELIEVABLE- White Bear Lake, MN
“It was true. Hundreds and hundreds of books regarding American history including Black History and Civil Rights, Native Americans, foreign nations far and wide, the Holocaust and even Mister Rogers, found in dumpster behind Sunrise Park Middle School in White Bear Lake. No sign of any fiction books, just non-fiction regarding history, cultures, wars, tyranny, communism, politics, etc.
My child is supposed to start kindergarten in WBL this fall. Now I have MANY questions to ask the school district, as should many, regarding this disgusting and sickening sight. Cancel culture happening here I’m certain.
This was a very ugly sight and it got me a bit emotional. Books regarding of our Flag, those that served and our Constitution should NEVER be placed in the trash. NEVER!!!!!”
And some replies to this post:
This is horrible. I can’t throw away any book , much less children’s books. And. The older they are, the most likely to be decent, moral and contain accurate information. Thus crap my kids get from scholastic and modern companies are full of sjw, and other agendas like climate change and totally inaccurate , unproven “science”. Uggh..Orwell 1984 100 %. I’m so thankful my mother saved my old books from the 70s. We use a 1979 set of encyclopedias for assignments sometimes. 😠
Our library has been culling the past few years. We have gotten Many history books in their weekly book sales.
the social engineers are trying to erase historical memory! And they want to track all the information that people encounter. If it’s digital, they can track it.
They can track it and edit it whenever they want to edit the narrative.
This is nothing new. I got my Masters of Educational Technology in 2012, and I was getting all this propaganda then, only I had no clue as to the direction it was taking.
And another post from this group:
March 2015. Out with the Old? Replace with the “new” (everything is Common Core now) books. Library throws out over 100,000 books that are less than 5 years old. We’ve been going digital (baby!) for quite a few years.
(I’ve heard that Hennepin County Library is also throwing out books into their dumpsters. I can’t remember when our public libraries or school libraries would ever throw out books without donating first. This is not an isolated incident.)
And yet another post from this group:
MACC Reported on districts and individual schools throwing out books in the past. This article occurred closer to the inception of the Common Core.
To us, books are friends (many) and it is a waste. This one from 2014 about the time that Tom VanderArk spoke on that infamous video about how “personalized learning” which means online, will overtake the schools. (He was speaking to school supers and administrators on the future of ed.)
◾◾◾◾ Monetran has developed Moneda, an asset-backed, redeemable, stable token. Moneda has been designed to maintain its value, making it a true store of value and a perfect medium of exchange. Moneda encompasses all of the features necessary to achieve mass adoption and is poised to obtain the popularity needed to become a universally accepted method of payment on the internet.
In the preceding pages we have introduced Moneda, an asset-backed, redeemable stable token issued by Monetran and created for use on the Stellar network. Moneda has been transfused with tangible value from its inception, with a viable plan to increase its value over time. It is redeemable – something that no currency has been since the days of the gold standard – for a portion of the principal in an asset account which contains income producing U.S. Government financial instruments. Built on the ultra-rapid Stellar network, Moneda is built to enable swift, secure, economical transfers and transactions for any amount, large or small, either domestically or internationally. Because Moneda is backed by Government assets and redeemable, it has a high degree of stability with a likelihood of gradually increasing in value, making it a perfect store of value.
In short, Moneda has been designed to encompass all of the qualities that any currency, digital or otherwise, should possess to be accepted as a universal medium of exchange. We believe that this demonstrates that Moneda, issued by Monetran for use on the Stellar network, is indeed a cryptocurrency worthy of mass adoption and everyday use in internet transactions.
The many advantages of Monetran / Moneda / Stellar
Is SEC compliant and available to U.S. investorsThe Stellar Network will enable transactions in 3-5 seconds
Moneda is backed by a portfolio of U.S. Government financial instruments
Will provide very economical transaction fees
Will enable micropayments – even those less than $1.
Provides token stability benefiting customers and merchants
Moneda functions as a store of value and increases gradually
Will enable P2P international transfers including conversions
Will not require mining which wastes valuable resources
Will be available in areas underserved in financial systems
Federated IDs take the place of complicated cryptographic keys
Stellar NetworkStellar is an Open Source, Distributed Ledger Technology
Stellar is a complex, distributed ledger blockchain system which enables financial transactions that resolve in approximately 3-5 seconds. It operates on protocols known as a Federated Byzantine Agreement, which differs from the way Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most other blockchains work. This method of consensus, or verification of transactions, was created by Professor David Mazieres and forms the backbone of the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP.) The Stellar network enables Monetran to make swift, economical transfers of funds on a global scale. It also eliminates the need for “mining’” which requires an extremely large use of electricity, thereby increasing cost and causing undue environmental strain.
One of the features exclusive to Stellar are federated IDs. Federated IDs are akin to email addresses and they take the place of the long, cryptographic keys which make systems work. This makes sending money on the Monetran system as easy as sending an email. This will be extremely important in helping the public at large use blockchain systems such as Monetran.
“One of the reasons that no cryptocurrency has achieved mass adoption by the public is the complexity of making transactions. Being able to substitute federated IDs for complicated cryptographic keys will go a long way toward making things simpler and easier for customers.”
CrowdfundingPR
In addition, Monetran has designed its token to be stable, redeemable, and to serve as a store of value. This makes Moneda a perfect candidate to serve as a universal medium of exchange and, therefore, a candidate for mass adoption. Monetran intends to use its system to enable all types of payments over the internet in a faster and cheaper manner. With this in mind, Monetran expects to eventually forge partnerships with major retailers such as Amazon and Walmart as well as any other business that accepts payment over the internet. At every turn, Monetran plans to earn transaction fees for the company.
“What Amazon did in the retail space we hope to achieve in the financial quarters, and that’s a possibility once Monetran is widely recognized. There’s no reason why we can’t achieve it. Our idea and plan are that revolutionary.”

Company presentation at the Washington, D.C. Elite Blockchain Summit
All this is, is a centralized crypto currency system. No “mining” means there is no distributed consensus and no distributed storage of the blockchain. What this means, is they have FULL control of all decisions and entries into the “ledger” they have created. All that will be needed is your ID (which Bitcoin and Etherium do not require) to verify your person so that it can add and subtract entries on your behalf. You, of course, can not do it yourself (unlike with Bitcoin). There is much more I can add, but bottom line is this is a complete CENTRALIZED SYSTEM FOR CORPORATIONS AND GOVERNMENTS. This is not a real blockchain system.
The only part I don’t exactly know what they are referring to is the “assets” by which the tokens are backed by. Are they physical assets such as gold, minerals, oil, etc., or are the assets such as T-Bonds, other bonds, stocks, etc.? They did not clarifiy that point. That makes it very suspicious to me. VERY suspicious!
that’s what immediately struck me about this company. I wondered if they were Pay for Success contracts!
now that would be interesting!! Digital slavery that drives the currency. That’s kind of circular. Slaves that create the currency they need with currency that creates the slaves.
circular economy = sustainable development.
If it was a basket of country assets that would be more interesting. Agree this is just a centralized crypto. What I envisioned in the former project I worked on was a global member owned credit union. Members were part of governance, was not state owned or corporate owned. They were also distributed back their share of all network fees. This again just makes a classic rent seeker rich. The enlightened form of capitalism.. Cooperatives. Of the people.
Because of SEC guidelines a stable coin in the US was a de facto money transmitter and had to get licenses in each of the 50 states. Like Western Union or Money Gram. It put a project like ours out of the big boys game.
I wonder if this has anything to do with SDRs “Special Drawing Rights”, created by the IMF, where countries created with gold, currencies and other assets created a currency reserve and then other countries would draw or “borrow” from the IMF based on their assets.
[name redacted] what kind of crypto did you try to create? Was it based on a particular platform such as Bitcoin, Altcoin or Ethereum? I’m curious. Do you develop or just trade?
we had a three tier crypto system designed. I was a co-founder. We were building on Ethereum’s Rinkeby testnet , it is a POA Proof of Authority design. We were going to fork Ethereum when we were ready. Top tier were utility tokens to be Mints, these were businesses creating network value (storage, network or compute transactions), not rent seeking banks. They minted second tier network tokens to pay nodes completing transactions. Mints vote quarterly on the base price of network 2nd tier token and the network was designed to let it float 10% above and 10% below that price before system kicked in with supply and demand mechanisms…taking from mint’s reserve accounts or additional supply minting to bring price back in range. The 2nd tier was designed to be primarily used to pay nodes from mints and for traders to play within a predictable range. The third tier was our XUSD, XEUR, XMXN, which were our base token represented in local form, XEUR is always worth one euro of the base token, XUSD is always worth one dollar of our base token etc. To truly scale for the public benefit we understood business and public are comfortable pricing and thinking in terms of regional currency value and volatility in price and transaction speeds was not scalable. All participants had private anonymous wallets and could transact peer to peer, and were only subject to a mints aml/kyc requirements if they decided to use their services. We were going to deploy an atm network, which could be Mints in countries so we could keep regional cash in circulation. All transactions were honored instantly by network and mints settled weekly with a traveling salesman algorithm and winning node was awarded a scarce new mint utility token. Foundation verified all Mints, they were known and why all transactions were honored by network. Design was to Aml/kyc all Mints NOT users. Mints had their own side chains, and only data that needed to be on the blockchain went there. We were setting up as a foundation and I was going to attempt setting up the first member owned global nonState or bank run credit union. Completely decentralized. We would then have system owned by the people, where they could then make institutions that served them transparent. I was deep in this design for several years. Sorry if I rambled on, it is the end of the day and I am tired.

Have you heard about the partnership between The University of Tulsa and Team 8 (IDF and NSA) for TU’s new cybersecurity complex.
“We are serial entrepreneurs, former leaders of Israel’s technology and intelligence Unit 8200, startup executives, researchers, marketeers, business developers and talent recruiters, applying our domain expertise and company-building experience to accelerating the success of transformative companies.”
Here is a post that was share by yet another friend of mine:
Another big chain goes cashless—-notice how it says”To PREVENT THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 WE WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTING CASH PAYMENTS” .
Just one more example of how this COVID thing is being used to implement a plethora of agendas, all designed to give those pushing this more power over our lives.

Saw that crap too online in some places talking about a “coin shortage” Dang Federal Reserve and their Rothschild and CFR overlords messing with stuff, as usual.

Saw a sign at Subway today, at least one of them, that said that a certain 2 $5 footlongs for $10 or something like that would be only for the remote app. Also heard that they are getting rid of roast beef and some kind of chicken, so there goes the Subway Club. Beyond the pale!
I see that University of Illinois-Springfield has taken the Covid stupid pill:
Face coverings, hand sanitizer and frequent cleaning are all part of the University of Illinois Springfield’s plan for students to return to campus in the fall.
The university will offer both on-campus and online options for students this fall up until November 25. After the Thanksgiving holiday, all classes will be online through the end of the semester.
There is truly ZERO silver lining to what is happening in education in relation to COVID. However, the more draconian agenda is being overlooked. Don’t be fooled, the government’s biggest moves to barely educate, over-medicate, and slot your job for life are all in the USMCA. Which was kicked off officially this week. Are we going to sit by and do nothing, once again?! Time to wake up, Americans!
It’s about the human capital markets. But people are not resisting.
From below this entry in the map: “The Matrix Has You – Standardization of educational trajectories imposes limitations on special skills development.”
Also: “HR Companies Become Talent Investors – HR companies merge with MOOCS to become investors in talent.”
Also: “50% of the employed work flex-time: knowledge nomads work flex-time with no fixed workplace.”
All THIS based on genomics. This is biocapitalism
Meanwhile the educators are hysterical about all the wrong things, because they refuse to open their eyes and are just swept up in the behavioral programming.
And another post from her:
So this map expands on a transaction in which Oracle and Walmart are planning to purchase a significant portion of stock in the Chinese company TikTok, creating a new entity, TikTok Global. The company’s platform supports short videos and is now pushing “educational” content under Covid lockdown in partnership with STEM personalities like Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. The map shows global capital flows East / West – Silicon Valley / Beijing. It also touches on how digital interactions feed signals intelligence and privatization interests. Ellison and Oracle being the big data partners with ties to Israel, and Walmart being the education privatizer shifting into human capital management.

And some replies to this post:
former local union guy here, now in politics toes the digital learning like a puppy, not a ounce of a brain……. my oh my
The union leadership will be pushing the pension assets into human capital investments – of course the pay for success deals require digital real time surveillance than means people replaced by AI / online systems.
I was so disgusted when I heard this guy……. also always pushes lockdown narrative….. a turd…..
Plus there are all the people signing up for 23 n me and whatever other genetic testing companies sales pitches…. Then there are plenty of people who feel the medical necessity to attain some sorts of genetic testing…. It should be private and protected sensitive medical information.
So, a cotton bud with a little spit on it can give you a complete DNA history of whether or not you come from the Vikings, but it takes a swab from the back of your throat to figure out if you have covid. And people don’t question it. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤷♂️🤷♂️
the key to the creation of the human capital markets is that all the data be interoperable and for that they need to implement “self sovereign” digital identity. The data from your genomics will factor into the predictive profiling, but each new bit of data from wearable tech or ICT inputs further refines your “risk / value” profile. Right now they have the DNA, but it isn’t yet interoperable. That is what the National Interoperability Collaborative is setting up.
“A central player in Santa Clara County’s impact investing program is their Office of Education, which has built a centralized education data warehouse called “Datazone.” Their language around data integration indicates it may be a prototype for an interoperable platform that would expand impact investment markets by linking education data with out of school service providers. Datazone is a hub for the Silicon Valley Regional Data Trust (SVRDT) launched with financial support from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative in January 2017. DataZone SVRDT is one of six founding partners in the National Interoperability Collaborative (NIC), an outgrowth of work done by Stewards of Change and Academy Health. This collaborative intends to pull together health, human service, criminal justice, child welfare and health data across platforms. Funders include, not surprisingly, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Microsoft, and IBM. But the Kresge Foundation is the lead funder. Kresge, based in Troy, Michigan, participated in the financing of ROCA, an early juvenile justice Social Impact Bond in Massachusetts. On that project they were teamed up with Third Sector Capital Partners, Goldman Sachs, the Arnold Foundation, New Profit, and the Boston Foundation. In addition to NIC’s six founding partners there are eighteen other “members.” Most work in healthcare, workforce development, and social service spaces, but there are two outliers. Of grave concern is the fact that The National Fusion Center Association and the National Council on Crime and Delinquency are also on the list. Fusion Centers are part of the Homeland Security apparatus. My sense is impact investors need to have seamless data integration with the justice and surveillance system, because public expenditures associated with predicted future incarceration will be the primary cost-offset that permits profit-taking for “impactful” youth interventions. We are very likely looking at replacing the school to prison pipeline with compulsory “pre-carceration” intervention services.”

MINNESOTANS: KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
We are just keeping an eye on this situation. Arkansas is removing Covid patients to an isolation facility. This short article doesn’t mention the age and states that removal to an isolation facility would be decided based on family considerations.
Do you remember MAKE-A-PLAN MINNESOTA? A plan to include lots of personal information (even a parent’s last will and testament) to have on record, should they have to come to remove your child.
At first, Minnesota agency officials stated that families who are sick may quarantine together. Then it appears, officials changed their minds to include a quarantine outside the home.
Please feel free to contact MACC is you here of isolation camps being set up in our state. Thanks!
Here is a post from an Ohio anti-Common Core group:
From a Concerned Teacher
As a teacher, I want to make something very clear about what the president said in his speech last night about the indoctrination in education. Trump was not attacking the great teachers in the USA. He was attacking the system that has developed.
I grew up in a small, close-knit, working class community. We had teachers who taught us well. We learned history from the perspective of loving this nation, knowing our heritage and how history teaches us lessons moving forward. Sometimes, reminders of the wrongs of the past teach us lessons we cannot understand without studying them. I grew up in a Christian home, a Christian community, and my teachers loved children, valued life, and taught from a perspective of faith, family, and country. We said the pledge every day and proudly learned true history, its ills as well as its greatness. We learned of ALL of our American culture and we cherished it.
When I became a teacher, in the beginning I was not constrained by a federally mandated curriculum that sought to prove my worthiness of being a teacher by constantly assessing my students on government mandated standardized tests. Those tests would be the evaluation of how I was teaching what the government deemed appropriate for my students to know.
No, I was allowed to teach from a perspective of allowing my students the ability to learn to think, at a higher level. I was an English/Language Arts teacher, but I taught from an historical and sociological standpoint. I was able to get them to dig deep and research, to discern truths from various credible sources. I taught them about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and I played his “I Have a Dream” speech. We talked about his vision and I had them look at the world and write their own Dream speech.
We studied the Civil War and looked deeply at all the different types of people who lived at that time: the average Southern farmer, the plantation owner, the slave, the northern factory worker, the free black living in non-slave states, the abolishonists, and those who housed runaway slaves on the Underground Railroad. We looked at the different causes of the war. And, we looked at all of history. We read slave diaries and stories of divided families who chose different sides during the war. We looked at the complexity of all aspects of our divided nation. And, we learned why our nation reuniting as a whole and being rebuilt during Reconstruction made for a better and stronger nation.
When we did our folktales unit, we looked at the heritage of the Native American and the stories they told. We looked at how so many of the folk tales from their heritage paralleled the stories from the Bible. When we read the classic American Folk Tales, we closely examined how they promoted the American Pioneer Spirit. These were stories of characters with Super Human abilities and strength. But, they were the characters that encouraged adventurous Americans to move West, to forge out new land. They encouraged self-reliance, perseverance, and determination. They gave young people an ability to dream and never give up.
In everything I taught, I was able to stretch the imaginations of my students, encourage their ability to “Dare to Dream”, as my class theme. I was able to make my students believe that as Americans, they could accomplish anything and be anything if they worked hard and gave their all.
But, as time passed, the government came in and tied my hands. They robbed my classroom of autonomy, innovation, and creativity. We first were handed NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, which was just the opposite. Tests became the focus. The ability to score a minimum standard in order to be called— NOT EXCELLENT, NOT SUPERIOR, NOT EVEN GOOD—-but adequate. We had to make Adequate Yearly Progress.
I had worked very hard to continue to teach toward excellence and in preparation for all students to strive to achieve their goals, no matter how many obstacles they had to overcome. I had an established, engaging, thought-provoking yearly curriculum. I did not want to let that go for the sake of enough students mastering a minimum score on a standardized test to be called adequate. So, I took a novel my students always loved reading and formatted it to fit our testing format. I took the novel chapter by chapter and re-wrote the chapter questions, quizzes, and final test in standardized test format. Then, in meeting with my principal and explaining what I had done, I was shocked by the response I got. I was told in harsh, blunt words, “Forget about that novel. Get out those test prep books, and get them ready for that big test. We must pass AYP.”
Then, on top of NCLB, came Common Core dangled out for states to apply through funds from RACE TO THE TOP. States had to apply and willingly accept the terms because it was illegal under 3 federal laws for the US Government to mandate a national curriculum.
But, states got greedy and wanted that money. In the middle of fighting against Common Core on a national level, I participated in the state review of textbooks for adoption for the state of Alabama. I was appalled by what was contained in those textbooks. They were full of left-wing bias, indoctrination, opinions stated as fact. They were anti-Christian, and they promoted socialist viewpoints. There were literature selections that promoted everything from abortion, to promiscuity, to values opposed to basic, traditional family values.
The more I researched, the more I learned about a bigger picture. This was exactly what my president spoke about last night. There is a BIG AGENDA. It even had a name. At that time, it was being called Agenda 21. Later, it was known as Sustainable Development, and currently as Agenda 2030. The atheist globalists want our nation, as a new nation. They want to create an America that is fundamentally different from the America as it was founded.
As I spoke across the South and the nation, on radio and tv shows, I encountered college students in teacher education programs at various colleges and universities. And, I discovered that my greatest fear had come to pass. These bright, young minds with caring hearts for children had been sold a bill of left-wing goods and had bought it whole-heartedly. They had been indoctrinated and were not being taught the realities of anything in our history, in our culture, in our AMERICA. They had accepted the lies as fact and as the great plan to bring Hope and Change.
But, that plan destroyed hope, created the division we see now and brought about a change that looks nothing like the America I grew up loving. We are once again in a civil war. We have seen violence, destruction, bloodshed and death. But, the real battlegrounds for this civil war are the battlefields of the mind and heart.
Pay attention to what is happening. Pray for our AMERICA, the one created by our Declaration of Independence and our US CONSTITUTION.
Another large school district going virtual in the fall:
Did you know that two mints closed before there was even a “pandemic?” – This coin shortage was all planned. But people don’t believe it. San Francisco and West Point is what I hear.
Here is a post from Alison:
Hey educators, which of these new jobs would you want? Just know this is “ad-hoc” employment, part of a “swarm.”
Learning Pathway Designer Competency Tracker Pop-Up Reality Producer Social Innovation Portfolio Director Learning Naturalist Micro-Credential Analyst Data Steward
Are there ANY pro-public education people out there who have been following my research over the past five years who understand that the Covid response is THE FINAL stage of privatization for the purposes of advancing biocapitalism?
That learning ecosystems will use biometric e-wallets to pay for community-based skills badging and online data-mining. That the digital vouchers will be linked to predatory pay for success deals? All tied to UN Sustainable Development Goal 4.
That the program will not only tank public schools, but will also harness charters, private, religious, and even traditional home school / unschool families into the data harvest IF education partners take the vouchers. This includes libraries, makerspaces, community sports and theater, art centers, etc.
Reimbursement = hand over impact data for investors. That means perpetual data surveillance of children. The data profiles will triage human capital. If deemed good workers, children will be slotted into the gig economy. Regional economies are planned to benefit transnational corporations.
Do you understand that now this will all be justified in order to meet “social distancing” requirements?
That manipulatives, labs, sports equipment, art supplies will eventually disappear to be replaced by VR head sets and haptics? That probably there will be no more choral singing or woodwinds in the orchestra – too dangerous – you know.
Or has everyone been body-snatched?
And some replies to this post:
where to go, beyond fb? Its infuriating and agonising…
I have two young grandchildren so it is very scary to me.
Bless you. Do not be disheartened. As a whole we have come a long way in awakening. Every little matters. X
I have 7 young grandchildren & I’m listening & learning. I live next door to a school. My grandsons teacher quit.
We’ve been a public school family and do agree that the recent implementations (in the last four years especially) are all about data mining and virtual ‘learning’ among other disagreeable agendas.
I am new to following you, but I am terrified of what you are saying here. This whole technocratic, cybernetic nightmare crap scares the shit out of me, especially in regards to children being raised as though it is at all in any way “normal” So, apparently I’ve not been body snatched anyhow. Thank you for the work you are doing 🙏
Crystal clear. I have no children in school but I have a lot of nephews and nieces I hate to see this happen to but the parents won’t even consider looking around. Channel 13 is God.
I am new to following you, but have been following the education shift for years. I do understand. I know others who understand. I couldn’t explain as concise and as in depth as you are able to. I just sound crazy when I try to explain.
Yup – we aren’t crazy. This really happening. It may take 3-5 years for every bit to fall into place, but it could happen much faster than that. I really, really thought we had more time, like 10 years to try and educate people. I did not see that pandemic would be their tool of choice
New to you as well but I hear what you’re saying and completely agree with your points. This whole time those that are close to me scoff at me when I speak of my views and berate me as if I am being selfish because I don’t want to be inconvenienced. How many times have I heard-‘if we all would just comply and do what they say we could all go back to normal faster’ 😞 I get called crazy when I say things like-‘you think they’re just going to give us all our inherent rights back?’ Nothing but eye rolls and it is very discouraging but I remain humble and hopeful trying to spread love wherever I can. I absolutely refuse to live in fear of any virus or my fellow brothers and sisters. 💙
And if you are an educator who claims to be about social justice and are not fighting to keep contact tracing out of your schools, shame on you. I challenge any teacher who claims to care for undocumented students and their families to prove to me this will not cause far more harm than good.
We’ve been at this for quite awhile, eh? I still remember you telling me about the online profiling with the kid on the camping trip and the candy bar. Oh my. Now here we are.
I’ll take the camping trip!! This is how they are getting schools online and the community centers – my dad talked about this when I was a kid. I always thought it would be a hard sell and it otherwise would be. Now parents are demanding online education and social distancing … be careful what you wish for. 😢😢
I’ve been hearing this and agreeing with you for years – it’s hard knowing what the future is going to be like for our children and their children. Makes me want to cry every time I think about it. You are so right when you speak of staying connected to the earth and humans … that’s where we are nourished. I appreciate all your efforts and research!! ❤️
The teachers and my former teachers union colleagues are falling for the distance learning bs because of fear of a virus that has a 99.97% survival rate. They are digging their own graves as teaching professionals. The oligarchic masters will replace them with a master, super-teacher that will instruct thousands at a time. Meanwhile the children will become robotic and dehumanized, lacking the human social interaction that only a real, caring teacher and warm peer interactions can provide! More school lockouts will help to kill public schools that we once knew!
Very true. I feel so bad for the children. We need to be building survival schools just to preserve humanity.
Yup..the teachers / admins in my area have bought this “health” scare 100%. Heck, I cdnt find one person that opposed CCore over the last 3 years. They are absolutely clueless around me, at least. The difference between him and his older brother who was was in the last “traditional” class is nite and day. Nobody has a flipping clue .
Even the social justice radical educators stayed mum when i tried to expose the dangers of ed-tech. At this point I’m not really about the adults but rather working so that maybe the kids come out ok.
agree. Since I’ve got 2 still in school, my interaction w teachers / admin is frequent. We never even did public sch. thinking we wd avoid it. Private / charter and home school have all been co opted in my area– I’ve tried all 3 w my 6th gr. We’re heading back to private next month simply for more socialization. He misses his old friends and as at a vulnerable age – dreaded middle school where few kids know where they fit in.
I think it was very intentional on the part of the philanthropcapitalists to pit parents of students in public school against parents with kids in charters and private schools and home school. As Aduku has noted – this machine is coming after everyone. If we don’t unite, and do it soon, the next generation will simply be handed over en masse through the various channels to AI for racialized processing and sorting.
Thinking back over 2 decades, you can put pieces together. The “virtuous” safety program “Identikid” in case of kidnap or lost children was a primer for data collection b4 computers. The anti-bully campaign was a primer for being able to teach gender/ sex identity issues… Pre-school and Head start to capture the mind younger… Everything they do under the guise of safety and health is always a ruse w the same end goal– technocractic slavery.
You had a sense of urgency about you when you came to Dallas. Little did we know why… We did not see this pandemic coming, but we did see the potential fallout.
Can you put it in simple terms please?
No more school buildings other than drop in centers. Children assigned permanent tracking number attached to a voucher/payement. Wearable tech tracks them in real time to document “skills” and competencies that are used to slot them into workforce pathways. Hedge funds cover “education” costs as investment deals in human capital and get paid for student behavioral compliance. Total regulation of body, mind, and spirit. Children become roboticized data commodities. Mental illness rises – mental illness digitally treated as an impact market. Wash, rinse, repeat.
There are a ton of whitepapers on the Knowledgworks website.
So, I’m just wondering – is it really that we are only isolated individuals in our various locales – or are there others out there to join with? I do believe we HAVE to make provisions to preserve human knowledge sharing and human connection. I think that could easily be lost within a three year timeframe. How do we do that? Because I really think we need to be preparing now – finding locations, securing books and paper, all of that.
I’m thinking we need a land as pedagogy school focused on food independence with a rich curriculum of real hands-on learning and literature attached to that.
Waldorf sort of has something like that – expensive schools tho
I was channelling more like the Black Panthers / AIM. Because after that kind of education you won’t fit into the AI badge economy. So it would have to feed into a larger alternate economic system / community structure.

When I went to Cincinnati and did a sage cleansing of Knowledgeworks, StriveTogether, and Procter and Gamble I found out that the P&G headquarters faces the Masonic Temple across a plaze and the Nielsen Consumer Neuro-Lab Building was at the far end. Seriously – same sign below as in the blog post above.
Not shocked that P&G Corp faces a Masonic Temple in Cincinnati. Did you know Foster Gamble of the documentary THRIVE is of the P&G family? He says he was introduced to U.S. Pres. Ford before pursuing an alternative path.
I’ve followed and agree completely. I do hold some hope as the bulk of what I’ve heard thus far about pilots of using community partnerships has been decidedly negative. Getting teachers to understand this while unions chiefs are yelling about how it’s not safe to open schools due to the lack of PPE etc. is imperative but extremely difficult.
Remind me – what state are you in NH?
Yes, I’m in NH and teach in MA.
So NH is the pilot for the ELOs. I would be interested if you hear anything more tied to school reopen and community based partnerships.
I heard of a problem in MA and another in Maine. In one case, the Boys & Girls Club offered class credit for going to homework help sessions (with non certified staff). The students who went through traditional class, did homework, tests etc. got the same credit, same diploma as the kids who went to the homework sessions. It caused some ill feelings with students and parents. (That’s the extent of what I know.) In the other case, someone told me that her daughter’s high school internship was completely botched in regards to scheduling it, making sure her daughter even had an internship etc. I will keep my ears open for anything new tied to reopening.
Again, we have to presume given their plan to make a world for robots – it could “work” for the billionaires even if the children are completely robbed of an authentic education.
They are definitely being robbed, and now at a breakneck pace.
“As we find ourselves in this new normal, we have seen long standing agendas, which have remained behind the scenes, hidden away from the public, now being offered as solutions justified by this crisis. The World Economic Forum’s ‘Great Reset’ and the ‘4th Industrial Revolution’ are perfect examples of prepackaged ‘solutions’ being rolled out to save us from ourselves. Today we will dive deeper into this agenda and also focus on how it may reshape our lives if the technocrats have their way. In this episode, Spiro is joined by John Klyczek, an Adjunct Professor, researcher, contributor to Activist Post as well as several other alternative news sites and the author of the book ‘School World Order: The Technocratic Globalization of Corporatized Education’ For generations the social engineers have used the strategy of indoctrination to target societies most impressionable minds, our children, through many avenues but primarily through our education systems. In this interview, Spiro and John Klyczek break down the how this longstanding and effective tactic is being ‘reimagined’ by the usual suspects, to reshape the future of humanity.” John Klyczek’s Website
Were teachers doing more than obedience training? Never met any who were rebellious enough to do anything but. Not surprised that they are falling in line en mass.
Further, are not the teachers the stewards of the school-to-prison production line? Or is it that Black folk just made that up?
Well when I started out around 2013 let us say my structural analysis was not great – I was coming to the problem of the destruction of urban public schools in a very naive way. You are right, of course. The schools are fulfilling their function. Once the digital vouchers tied to biometrics are put into place, the only knowledge sharing that will not be subject to surveillance will be sequestered. The unschooling people will be sucked in as well – if the community resources they use take the vouchers. So I am thinking what do we need to do to create spaces for knowledge preservation and for companionship and support among those of us who refuse to comply with the coming facist program.
The school to prison pipeline model is going to transition to different types of state control – that will come via the school social workers. The “community school” model. But my guess is the “schools” will really only be drop-in centers like a combo HR / probation office for poor families. They need the schools to be that because HIPPA doesn’t apply in schools and FERPA was gutted.
Smash the prisons. That has always been the imperative. It ought be of the utmost urgency now for “White” people.
For the geofencing we will have to smash the 5G infrastructure and refuse digital identity. I feel the urgency, I just don’t have an audience. Also many prisons are of the mind. I sense that is part of the problem.
The homes – regarded as sanctuaries only a few months ago – are now prisons. Thanks to the teachers, who have created a nation of morons, this phase of the mass incarceration has been achieved with remarkable efficiency
The actual model will not be so posh – BlackRock will do pay for success job training programs to have cargo containers adapted.
The Omidyar / Unicef backed pre-k franchises with blockchain ID – these are the “classrooms.”
Evidently the rulers became impatient with the school-to-prison pipeline; they’re taking the prison cells to the children.
With capitalist “growth” everything gets broken down into smaller and smaller bits for the purposes of value extraction.
The nature of state control is in flux. It is going to look different, but some will not recognize it as a system of control. It will be framed as paternalistic care.
I see it and agree with you. This covid is not just a virus… it’s a trojan horse… It lines up with Agenda 2030… as do you. Top down control system, no freedom..massive poverty. It’s easy to see but many people separate Covid from the rest.
This whole situation seems like a loaded dice where, if we don’t resist en mass, they’ll win either way. You see, if they can get everyone to go online, they’ll get into the homes with surveillance and increase home visits and quickly phase out schools with their personalized learning, competency based stuff, and anywhere anytime learning. If they can get us back to schools, they’ll have gotten so many to agree to put up with whatever “safety” measures they agree to (masks, temperate checks/scans, etc) and limitations just so that parents can be able to work and send their kids to school.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
If you have children or grandchildren in public school you might be interested in reading this article – Remember Peter Thiel is a Marxist
Hubby went to the grocery store this morning to buy a little meat – Ground round is $5.99 per lb. but get this – He looked at other meat and wrote down the prices for me .. T Bone steak per lb is $10.99 ,Chuck roast is $4,99 per lb. and a Eye of Round roast is $9.69 per lb… He bought 4 lbs, of ground round the total for ground round was over $24.00 , 2 bottles of jalapeno peppers @ $.2.79 per bottle, 1 pkg. of hamburger buns $2.29 , 1 bag of potato chips $3.78 I can not get over how food prices especially meat has gone up .. A long time ago i could buy around $200.00 worth of groceries which would last us over 2 weeks this included meat.. not any more ..
And yet another post from her:
I guess I am just going to have to give up my rolled coins in the bottom of my purse- I was planning on using as protection as whopping the hades out of some one if they tried to steal my purse – sigh
If the DMN wants to be the voice of parents and teachers, they should probably just ask us what we want. Instead, they have set up a philanthropy-driven Education Lab. They call it a lab, because it is a human experiment funded by elites. 
“Davenport isn’t the only skeptic. In a Twitter tweet about the newly announced Morning News’ community-funded partnership, New York Times reporter Matthew Haag said he covered Dallas schools for five years.
“These groups and their allies, especially Todd Williams, tried behind the scenes to derail our tough reporting, including trying to get me fired. Looks like they found another route to influence the coverage,” Haag posted June 20.
Dubbed the Education Lab, Davenport says reporters enrolled will likely be indoctrinated with a limited view of schooling that will include reforms, such as year-round classes, merit pay tying teacher salaries to test scores, standardized testing, full-time e-learning or distance learning and wrap-around services, including health care, meals and mental health counseling, that replace the academic institution schools are intended to be.
“These reforms will collapse the public school system, which will divert funds so that federal money will follow the child instead of school buildings,” Davenport said in an interview. “It’s a neo-liberal agenda and a neo-liberal agenda basically aims to decrease public funding in order to increase the private sector by diverting funds.”
“Smart” shopping carts. Online food ordering? It’s all about future risk-profiling you and your family via your data dust. The predator energy system plans to suck you dry. All of these changes to how we access food? You can be sure this was planned – in the works for years. Now with Covid there will be a push to “maintain your health” and embrace “preventative care.” Here they are pushing the carrot, but hidden behind that rabbit logo are sticks. There will be many more sticks than carrots. Be cautious about the narrative pushing healthy lifestyles – yes, you are right, but it will feed this monster. We have to be strategic. https://smalldata.io/
This is a major factor with the UN SDG and Agenda 21/30 plans; adjusting global food consumption. The high-frequency part tells me this is going to be monitored in realtime via 5G network.
The less we do for ourselves, the more they learn about us.
This is also another way to fuck over the poor; most of us out here don’t have cars and live in a food desert. Doing things like grocery shopping and laundry is incredibly tasking
not to mention the workers being fucked over and will eventually lose even those gig jobs due AI
WEF is a totally godless, modernist, materialist organization. It is backed by companies such as Microsoft and Mastercard (some call this fascism), entities that would provide essential elements for a new global economy that ushers in the aforementioned “fourth industrial revolution” – a technocracy featuring a new electronic world currency. WEF is represented by Big Industry, Big Finance and Big Fame. To name names, members of its board of trustees include: Yo-Yo Ma, the noted cellist; Jack Ma, head of the Alibaba group (China); former U.S. vice president Al Gore; Peter Maurer, head of the Red Cross; Christine Lagarde, International Monetary Fund; and David Rubenstein of the Carlyle Group. It is also in league with The Council on Foreign Relations, The Group of 7 (largest nations), and the Bilderberg Society. The United Nations does its bidding.
Here is a post that was shared in an Ohio anti-Common Core group:
Hi! Welcome to Kindergarten! I’m going to be your teacher, Miss Litten. I know you can’t see me because I’m wearing this mask with a shield over my face. Oh, no, hunny. It’s ok. I’m not scary. I’m smiling at you underneath all of this. Come hold my hand… ummm…nevermind. Let me give you a hug…errr…Let’s take a look at all the toys we will play with this year. Bummer, that’s right. Nevermind. We can’t share toys this year. But hey, you’re going to meet so many new friends in Kindergarten! You’ll get to play with them and everything!! Well, not play with play with. I mean like you’re six feet apart and you’re each bouncing your own ball. That’s fun, right? Well, anyways, here’s our library. We can’t have books on the shelves. You can’t touch the same books as your classmates because of those silly little germs! So, instead, I’ll give you these black and white paper books that I stapled together and put in your very own cardboard box! You can take it to your seat aaaaalllllllll the way over here. I’ll be aaaalllllll the way over there if you need me. Oh, what’s that? Your shoe is untied. Let me tie it for…did you just have that shoe lace in your mouth? Sweetie, I can’t tie it now because it has those pesky germs on it. Just tuck them in your shoes. Ok. Now let me see if you can write your name. That’s not how you hold your pencil, Kiddo! Here, let me show you. I’ll put my hand over your hand and guide you…oh, I mean, let me just show you how to hold it. Put your pointer finger…no that’s not pointer…oh, shucks. Nevermind. We will be using computers most of the time anyways, who needs to learn pencil grip?! Here’s your computer 💻. Isn’t it so neat and shiny?! I know it looks like everybody else’s but I also know that as a five year old you can keep track of yours and bring it to and from school everyday. We need computers this year because we might not be at school very long. If too many people get sick, I may not see you for a long time. But, I’ll email you and we can learn from our computers. What’s that? You want to learn how to read? We will try the best we can, Kiddo! Why are you crying? You’re hot with that mask on? Me too. No, Sweetie, we don’t have air conditioning at school. Water? We can’t use that water fountain anymore, Dear. Here’s a water bottle to fill up. You’re tired? I know, me too! Welcome to Kindergarten in 2020!
•••I had to capture my thoughts of what’s to come and the REALITY of it. No matter what schools choose to do, or what parents choose to do, I feel terrible for all students having to endure the school year ahead! I know I’ll try my very best no matter what, Kiddos!
And another post from this group:
My Granddaughter just left to go back to get settled in at the UofOregon, one Professor, one, is holding classes, the others are all on line! How frustrating is that?
I sent this to the Common Core Diva:
Have you heard of “place-based curriculum”? It was mentioned in this article which ties environmentalism, education, communities, and sustainable development:
links to several CCSS Machine groups, UN, UNESCO & uses STEM for SDGs in churches, schools, communities. I already found an ag archive of mine which more likely be tied. Article:
A common feature in Socialist Revolutions is the closure of schools. Mao & Castro forcibly closed schools for at least ONE year and Stalin oversaw a 50% decline in schooling in the early years of his revolution. Food for thought …
Here is a post on the wall of a friend of mine:
well UN Sustainable Devopment/ Agenda 21 was signed by ush in 1992 ( I think that was the date) ipon the first Rio Earth Summit. Walmart were sponsors at that Summit. I worked for WM from 2003-13. In 2012 I hosted an Agenda 2q Expose that was presented by Hal Shurtleff of the John Birch Society i was running Round inviting people from work. Despite their ‘ no politics ar work’ policy they czlled a big meeting of all the employees. ( several 100 ar a big distribution center) They proceededto bore everyone to tears for an jour telling us about their proud role sponsoring the 2012 Earth Summit. Of course they fidnt say ‘ Agenda 21’ but just Sustainable Development. I was likely one of the few people not falling aslerp becsuse I was livid with the propaganda being spewed. . Pretty sure they didntblike me much anymore and spent the next year trying yo chase me out the door. It hot so bad that I found another job and gave notice. I have read articleswhere past CEO Lee Scott dpecifically talked about Agenda 21. As far as Sam, I have heard that he wasnt the darling everyone made him out to be but was in charge of the Japanese interment camps. Dont know if it’s true.
I might have the specific article bookmarked on my tablet.
Months from now, when America wakes up , people will ask “When did we get a permanent Cyber Czar with 75 employees in the White House?” Well, it’s happening in the NDAA .
During a recent webinar hosted by The Block, when asked about the U.S.’s take on central bank digital currencies (CBDC), Bench said that work is being done on the technology front that could further the mission of the Federal Reserve system. Sweden for instance, he said, faced a challenge wherein the use of cash slowly dwindled and was eventually replaced by a cashless model
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston’s Bench says the U.S. ‘better be ready’ for a future digital currency issuance
A word of EXTREME caution to anyone who is supporting the mass closure of schools as a win for ‘the right’ …
A common feature in ‘Socialist Revolutions’ is the closure of schools. Mao & Castro forcibly closed schools for at least ONE year and Stalin oversaw a 50% decline in schooling in the early years of his revolution.
What is even more important is what they DID with the children.
They did not relinquish them to their parents for homeschooling – They ushered the children into new ‘educational entities’ and WEAPONIZED them as foot soldiers for the state. Mao created the Red Guards & Fidel created the ‘Literacy Brigade’ which was forced labor and military service.
So Conservatives – Be VERY careful about advocating for mass closure of schools (even though we know they are liberal). I’m quite convinced that there will be an alternative put in place (especially for lower income children) and it will be FAR WORSE than existing public education. We’ll need to fight that.
And be ready for a battle if you choose to homeschool.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
This strategic plan is taken from the Tulsa Regional Chamber of Commerce website.
You’ll notice that the very first goal is to subordinate education to the “needs” of business and industry. In other words, how to transform a child into a means of economic production. I’m astonished that more people aren’t taken aback by this.
Skilled Future – Workforce Development: -Implement a comprehensive strategy to align educational curriculum to the needs of regional business and industry. -Convene and collaborate with regional partners to increase regional attainment of post-secondary degrees and certificates. -Attract and retain skilled talent through recruitment tools and programs. -Assert Tulsa’s regional identity to attract skilled talent through branding and public relations strategies. -Strengthen and build upon the strategic objectives and programming of Tulsa’s Young Professionals (TYPros) to continue efforts to attract and retain young talent. -Impact local, state and federal policy to secure education funding and skilled worker tax credits while protecting and improving the region’s higher-education infrastructure.
This link describes the process by which giant corporations hope to get everyone to accept the shift from university education to national credentialing databases, where every person carries a record of microcredentials that prove his or her economic value. All the pipeline language in “education” these days is curated to get us used to thinking of ourselves as commodities, the stuff of employability accounts.
I am astonished and appalled at the dehumanizing language and totalitarian program outlined in Adecco’s whitepaper:
“Arguably, companies are obliged to drive change in how intangible value assets are recognised. Doing so helps free them from shareholder constraints, increases competitive advantage, benefits the workforce and strengthens national economies. These efforts should be supported by cultural, political and economic incentives and include: • Companies, together with special-interest groups, must address standard-setting bodies for change in the way human-capital investments are constricted and assets are recorded. • CFOs and business leaders must become more forward-looking and actively promote creative solutions to training costs and mitigating associated risks. • More weight must be given to value creation and value reporting to stakeholders, particularly in relation to training expenditure, in order to make the most of accounting possibilities. • Companies should publicly and politically stress the benefits that human-capital investments are creating for society especially in the context of rising skills-motivated redundancies. This includes addressing the ageing population and widespread shortage of new hires. Companies should motivate peers to push for similar change and statements. • Policymakers must explore feasible tax incentives or the foundation of value-add employability fund accounts. They should look to similar programmes like those in France and those proposed in the US, as a mechanism to reduce national unemployment and increase productivity.
A friend of mine in California just sent me this… An entire living complex forced into mandatory testing and lockdown regardless of what the testing reveals for each individual person.
Medical Note
Detection of SARS-COV-2 protein sequences using a PCR molecular tests DOES NOT CONFIRM that a person has an active COVID-19 infection…they are 2 very different things.
It is possible to be positive for SARS-COV-2 weeks after your immune system has effectively cleared the infection, developed antibodies along with ready to act Memory Cells and T-Cells, and you are therefore no longer contagious.
A positive PCR test alone is NOT definitive medical proof of an active COVID-19 infection unless there are also definitive symptoms to corroborate the positive test.
What you have been told about asymptomatic transmission is not based in immunological science…it’s just a severely flawed theory postulated by the WHO and CDC.
And some replies to this post:
Any way to confirm this? I’ve looked for news sources. I sent to a sheriff’s deputy. Not finding anything official yet. Although I believe we are headed in this direction now or later.
This is the result of contact tracing. Anybody who supports such measures needs to know that this is what it looks like. At any point, you could be pulled from your job and put into quarantine for two weeks. I hear people talking about it casually, as though it’s the best approach. I imagine it’s only a preferred method until you’re the one being locked up.
already happened in public housing in Melbourne. 3,000 people forcefully held by 500 police in 9 20-floor towers. Follow hashtags 9Towers and 33AlfredStreet to know more or look up posts on my timeline
Is it section 8?? I think they are purposely using government programs to force testing in these areas. No way I would get tested unless I had symptoms that needed attention!
AZ public Health and safety Authority during a state of emergency has some revised statutes. 🥺
The British Virgin Islands just imposed mandatory lockdown and testing for everyone on the island Jost Van Dyke.
Follow-up to this story… As of Yesterday 7.21, and thanks in large part to public pressure in the form of a large volume of phone calls, the Ventura Public Health Department lifted the lockdown and asked the 4 out of 78 people who tested positive to self-quarantine for 14 days. Incredible what coming together can do isn’t it? 🙂
Here is a post from another friend of mine:
No end of year High Stakes Test?.. No problem. Formative, CommonCore aligned, data collecting online tests with hidden algorithms are here to save the day. 😉 NWEA MAP, iReady and more… CompetencyBasedEd=No more “data poverty” CA has approved these formative tests to “examine student progress”: “The CDE has approved a set of assessments for diagnostic testing in ELA and mathematics that meet the requirements of EC Section 60644. These assessments have been identified as aligned with the Common Core State Standards and can be used for tracking learning progress and for guiding instruction mapped to student needs. They are listed and described on the CDE website (refer to the Grade Two Diagnostic Assessments web page) as well as in table 1, below. (We note that other publishers have inquired about adding their resources to this list; however, funding is no longer available for vetting additional grade two diagnostic assessments.) LEAs can certify to the CDE the number of students in grade two who are administered these assessments pursuant to EC Section 60644 for the purpose of determining apportionment funding as set by the California State Board of Education annually.
These assessments were initially evaluated for grade two diagnostic testing, but all are scaled assessments that show how students are progressing along a continuum that extends across grade levels and can be used over multiple school years to inform instruction. LEAs that already use one of these assessments can examine student progress over time from prior years to the present and into the coming year(s).“ See full list here https://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/he/hn/guidanceonassessments.asp
Data driven algorithms : it’s what’s replacing teachers.
And some replies to this post:
Never mind that there’s not one iota of evidence that supports the use of iReady in the classroom!
Back 10 years ago before I retired from teaching at the RI School for the Deaf, the school had started using NWEA. I saw it first hand–complete crap.
IReady has truly replaced teaching in FLorida. I am shocked at how fast the teachers gave away their super power to teach. The sales pitch was pretty slick. Now with distance learning all of our Elem. kids will be on it with little hope of opting out.
Candidate Jamaal Bowmen former principal of CASA, just beat NY Rep Eliot Engel for his Congressional seat, endorsed by AOC. Jamaal piloted iReady in his school in the Bronx. He received accolades from NYCDOE for highest test score increases that year. The boxed drop down menu curriculum included assessments. Oddly enough he was an Opt Out of testing proponent.
Are these the tests that, instead of measuring knowledge, force compliance with radical ideologies in order to progress?
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
The plan is to track your child’s mental state in school to triage them as human capital and benefit investors. Would you want some software system labelling your child neurotic? To go on their permanent blockchain record? This is where things are going folks. Straight from the oak-paneled rooms at the University of Chicago. These folks are not playing. Very short clip – listen.
In this one the Nobel Prize winning economist proposes to incentivize parents of Headstart kids to get their kids to use data-mining apps by gamifying it with pornography (for the parents) – you know a “good incentive.” These people are sick.
I live in metro Detroit and was inundated with these tech sales people proposing all sorts of technical solutions to our supposed educational problems under the guise of austerity measures and attacking those horribly selfish teachers. Most were lobbyists working for Mackinac Center (SPN think tank started by DeVos in early nineties). I was in shock because these folks were my neighbors and had kids in our district. There was clearly a disconnect between what is developmentally appropriate and recommended and what would make money for their sponsors. Their goal was to eliminate teachers all together. Of course, this is when the ‘Right To Work’ frenzy was sweeping the nation and education was under assault via ALEC. It is as if we have been slowly boiled to the point where we are willing to accept the absurd under the guise of progress. These industries and their minions make me ill.
So the thing with SEL (social-emotional curriculum) is that they have created investment markets in behavior change, and the plan is to track and measure children’s behavior using these technologies. So it is FAR more awful than just making money on the software itself. It is the predictive profiling and surveillance and using children as portfolio assets that is so treacherous. Also this is bipartisan. Many times I think ALEC provides cover for a lot of liberals to overlook the Silicon Valley surveillance machine. Also SICK of unions. They don’t actually protect children and their leadership is working with these people. So a lot of the simple framing they would like for use to believe to keep us divided is actually pretty harmful.
Also, the teachers aren’t fighting this. I begged them for years and they really didn’t care. They shunned me for it.
I suspect the teachers are not fighting this because they can not fight it. Public school teachers have been under assault for years. Unions have pros and cons but that is another subject. The driving down of wages was the obvious reason behind the assault but what you are exposing is obviously far more frightening. Yes, I get that this is a bipartisan effort. The fact that Race To The Top was a Federal program while ALEC legislation was state level assault, made the whole education debacle a political nightmare with everyone siding with their respective lens. I am well aware of the way politics has been used to divide us and blind side us. Similar tactics were used by the oil and gas industry.
Quantities of profitability via hyper-categorization, overruling the unmeasurable freedom of making human mistakes, and non-linearly failing our way into success and mastery of our own dreams? Dunno!! Most people call me insane these days.
The 2nd is probably more relevant to what I was trying to say. First one is a bit intense and deeper into other matters
I Can’t believe that rhe superintendents AREN’T TELLING THE PARENTS about this. How about designing a query for the fekin parents first LOL
I guess policy doesn’t have to be run by everyone first. Then nothing would get done right? Technological Progress and Profit stops for no one? Dunno! Can we soend some time designing a new regenerative economy? I guess it just is what it is. https://youtu.be/lCwVyPVWMkI
If they give them mental health labels then we can determine whether they ever get to own a firearm for self protection, whether they are eligible to live freely, make their own decisions in healtjcare, housing etc. Who needs parents!?
That’s why redflag l.aws are being passed linking fire.arm ownership w mental health. There were already laws on the books re people being a danger to themselves or others and certain restrictions. Redflag open it up to more diagnosis and less proof needed for confis.cation.
University of Chicago is a Friedman Mecca, the origins of our testing frenzy and the Chicago boys. Frighteningly rich and detached folks making profits off of looting and exploiting.
Perhaps this explains all the new surveillance cameras at the Antigonish education centre
And another post from her:
Still not clear how digital ID and digital education vouchers advance global human capital markets? Wake up, the Libertarians (Reason Foundation = Libertarian think tank) want to “invest” in your children’s (mis)education using Education Savings Accounts. Homeschool / Unschool families, this means you, too. Institutions that take the federal money will be hooked into the blockchain data mining system. We need to be making plans now. This is not “revolutionary” but rather counter-revolutionary.
I swear to god if there are any educators left following me, LOOK at this. LOOK at the image presented here. Consider its meaning, its implications for the future of humanity. This child’s companion is a stuffed animal. Is this what you really want moving forward?
These are not dumb people. I think they could get it if they really wanted to. I mean they don’t even oppose my assertions. They just stay silent.
Agree. They don’t want to get it. I’ve explained simple yet worrisome consequences to ‘decision makers’ in my little area, with no response. I suppose when your paycheck is tied to whether you toe the line or not, the paycheck is a the necessary factor. I honestly wish I cd go back to that state of innocent bliss when I, too didn’t know a thing about what’s coming.
Nevermind..the folks running the private sch I’ve been living pay check to pay check for 15 years to avoid my children being eaten by the technocratic monster do not have one clue what’s going on. My child has 5 students in his 6th grade class… 5– and the avg class size is less than 10 students. Yet these bureaucrats have decided to comply w all govt and cdc guidelines— masks, social distancing, no changing classes, no electives — the whole gamut. We are a tiny sch in a rural, conservative area– the only reason they wd follow same guidelines as the largest inner city public school in the state is because they don’t have a clue. They saw ZERO wrong w adopting CCore 3 yrs ago and they see nothing wrong w 10 yr olds wearing masks in a huge classroom w less than a dozen humans near them. Alll I see is cruelty to children . they say “saving lives”…
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. It’s like a steam train..and all the teachers are jumping on board with armfulls of coal.😟
Why yes, yes they are. Soon to be micro-credential analysts.
have you been in touch with any of our former comrades in the CTU or other unions? From what I can tell, they are on board with schools not even reopening 😦
Well, you know Chicago = futures markets.
This dedication to catalyzing the destruction of in-person education and data-mining our students has a Ro number much larger than Covid-19 and has infected the entire population of educators. It’s grotesque.😠
It really is. The long term consequences are grave. I mean I am not super-surprised among the general educator population, but it seems many of the social justice groups have been lined up to advance the impact agenda whether they understand that or not. I mean I have been telling anyone within earshot for five years, but really have gotten no traction. Who knows – maybe some seeds will bear fruit eventually, but I am worried we are running out of time.
But don’t worry – I hear this avatar is awesome on engineering “equity.” He delivers great ROI “impact” with data fidelity.
^^^ And whether we like it or not these celebrity figures are tapped to deploy identity politics as cover for the oligarchs’ treacherous agendas. They are insulated from critique, hand-chosen for that purpose.
This will shift to AI control shortly – though it will be sold to the unthinking masses as “liberation” from the system.
When a key figure pushing MMT (modern monetary theory) is the research director for the Digital Fiat Currency Institute, you kind of have wonder why these folks are not vehemently opposing the rise of blockchain digital ID and UBI / digital benefit payment systems? Are MMT folks educating people about the very real dangers of human capital markets? Sorry, just like the Green New Deal – this MMT stuff is a scam of faux progressivism. Many of their economists are on the payroll of I-NET and Open Society. They hated me for pointing that out to them.
Not sure who needs to hear this, but your UBI / housing voucher is going to come with a side of Palantir’s data surveillance.
And some replies to this post:
Most people won’t care. They just look at the “free” money.
Not enough people even know what Palantir is.
that is true to, but they would probably still have the attitude of “if you’re not doing anything wrong, then what have you got to worry about?”. I’ve had that debate many times with people and they don’t care or think it’s a big deal. Now you throw in UBI free money, and they’ll run with the money. This is from my experience.
People are way too trusting. Many do not fully appreciate the deep depravity embedded in the systems they are navigating.
yes people think this is all for their own good. it will keep them safe, they get free money, and the tech is cool. that is what i am hearing from the neolibs.
yes. The tech is presented with pretty colors, pleasant voice, lots of cute bells, dings and whistles, and full of hope, meanwhile, it’s tied to databases that are analyzing our every move, monetizing our every action, manipulating at every turn, and punishing us for not properly allowing their data extraction with sanctions and restrictions. It’s for our own good, but meanwhile, the super rich are invisible to the same systems.
People who are desperate for housing will not be able to refuse it on the terms offered by the “great reset”.
Correct. Not unless we organize an alternative.
i know, it’s weird. is it the nano/chemtrails, is it the food…Or is it simply that people’s brains are damaged from too much screen time? i read this book called “Alone Together” written several years ago, by an MIT professor who examined the effects of tech/phones/internet on the brain and physiology. Much of her research was funded by Kurzweil and co., but it is fascinating how this stuff changes our brains, and our nervous systems, reduces capacity for empathy and relating to others, short circuits the ability to put two and two together, to synthesize information, and more. It’s a fascinating book and without saying so directly it sort of outlines the birth of transhumanism and our slow but steady indoctrination to it.. children growing up with furbies, robots to take care of the elderly, etc. etc. Anyway i think peoples brains have been so damaged by screen addiction they literally cant’ think beyond the screen, what is right in front of them, happening Right Now. there is no future, no past, no seeing patterns, no analysis…
It’s like a 20-level game – they’re still at level-1 (what they learned at high school – university grads maybe reached level-2 (with a bit of narrow specialty technical skill but never learning any more about general social control systems than they were taught at high school – not much more than “go to university and get a specialty skill to get a job to get into debt to the banks”) – and when people at even level-5 (probably as with a lot of us here – who learned through independent media about, for example, the monetary system etc) try to tell them what they’ve learned outside formal education and have come to understand – they already look at you sideways. This was the case even with 20th century financial system architecture – so now with this new 4th IR digital economy system being another order of magnitude further again – i can’t see any chance of them waking up – fundamentally they are totally uninterested in any knowledge outside the formal education and professional systems – they don’t actually really care at all – they’re not curious to know stuff – they are motivated only by socio-economic status – they just want to play the game to “get ahead”.
that is it in a nutshell and I totally agree with that statement. Most people just care about their short game and their status in their local group. Anything else outside that local group of influence is not of their concern and so they informally and indirectly give consent to the overlords, and we are all screwed royally.
Right on – i had one of them respond to me literally with what you just said – he said “Your focus of concern is outside your focus of influence – dial it down to things you can affect” What an attitude! Absolute slave mentality! SMH
and that itself is part of the problem. People are self-compartmentalized and so the problem continues. It’s selfish to think of their own immediate interests and not of their neighbors, their history, those the sacrificed their lives, and the future generations. It’s just pure self-centered thinking.
And the Vatican Bank’s hand are all in this, too. Philly I’m talking about Project Home cozying up with the predator impact investors and the Federal Reserve. Dig deeper. You are being fed lies and misinformation.
Do you see Palantir’s surveillance being significantly more of a threat to our freedom than surveillance from, say, Google or the federal gov’t? And if so, why/how?
Oh – Google, Palantir, and AWS are all working in this together, through P3s the government has outsourced their “big-brother” program.
In project “Welcome Home” the seed money was in part from Google. Palantir was the “third party” data verifier and they run their data through AWS. Is it starting to get clearer?
At DMV rn and they ask you to get a number online. But 1st that means do an “id.me” NO THANKS!!!
Yes – the DMV is the point of data interoperability. The soon to come digital driver’s license. That is where all the data will intersect AND allow them to control mobility.
No real I D for me Refused it. See how long I can go w out
Look up Idemia – “augmented identity.” First pilots rolling out in various states. Soon it may not be an option to not go digital.
So now there are commercials for this product, they are really pushing the grass fed concept. It just means that there can only be 1 cow for about 2 acres. You can see from the ad that they have to add dried forages to the grass that their cows eat so I don’t know how many cows that they have per acre but the goal seems to be to radically decrease the number of bovines in the world along with people.
And a post from this friend:
The idea of a U.S. digital dollar is no longer a fringe novelty. Now, it may be a means to an end.
The U.S. Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Subcommittee on Economic Policy conducted a hearing on “Winning the Economic Competition” between China and the U.S. on Wednesday. Once again, the idea of a Federal Reserve-administered central bank digital currency reared its head.
Much of the hearing was about America’s economic relationship with China, and both nations’ economic relationships with the rest of the world. Four of the five speakers had no close ties to the crypto space, and discussed issues like supply chain dependence and technologies like 5G.
Rather than focus a major part of the hearing on crypto, as two previous hearings did, crypto was brought up as one of many possible tools to maintain U.S. economic supremacy. This could be interpreted as crypto’s increasing acceptance as a mainstream idea.
Former Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Christopher Giancarlo, a longtime advocate for a digital dollar and one of Wednesday’s witnesses, once again called for the U.S. to begin conducting pilot programs to test out different facets of a tokenized dollar.
The idea is not just academic, said Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), who chairs the subcommittee. During a previous hearing, Cotton also advocated for modernizing the dollar, saying it would need to be better than bitcoin.
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
HUFFPO: NUMB – A MINI-FILM by LIV MCNEIL
One young ladies’ capture of a teen’s life in lockdown in conjunction with distance learning.
“This is just a generalization of the feeling of isolation, not my personal feelings, I for sure haven’t been enjoying quarantine, but some have it worse. We have all been going through stuff right now, especially with Black Lives Matter, my struggles are in no way comparable to some things people are going though right now. this is my own experience, some are a whole lot worse than mine. I’m just showing what I know.
This is a mini film, Numb by me. I did this for a school project but I’m really happy with how it came out, so I’m posting it here. This took me a combined 3 weeks or so. hope you enjoy! please feel free to share as much as you like, just please credit me and M83, the band who made the music.
This is a COVID-19 youth mental health resource hub if you’ve been negatively affected by isolation. https://jack.org/covid

Here is a post from Alison:
Compliance currency – the children will be indoctrinated to this global economic human capital system. Back-to-school arguments are beside the point if you can’t grasp this.
This makes NO sense if these people were truly concerned about limiting potential exposure. This isn’t about public health, it’s about privatization and human capital markets.
For goodness sake if you want to limit exposure, kids should be able to attend the same school all week. Don’t mix groups of kids between schools and out-of-school time child care. SMH. How do people actually make sense of this?
And some replies to this post:
this can’t be about exposure. it has to be about engineering for optimum behavior as capital. (as public schooling generally is, really.)
No one can justify this in terms of a public health intervention.
“Free childcare”, even if the article were taken at face value, it definitely isn’t “free”.
“The program will serve students from age 3 through eighth grade”. They are coming for our children.
Yes. Yes they are. I predict residential schools for homeless children soon.
Absolutely! This is completely nuts and sooo transparent. And we have seen this before: Remember when they shamed everyone and their grandmother for not wearing masks, one week, and then cheered all the unmasked not-social-distance-complying demonstrators the next week?
Minnesota announced free child care for all kids of “essential workers”. Pretty soon all workers are essential workers. The childcare was primarily offered in public schools, head starts and chain centers. These were the “winners” of the 4-star rated QRS system with Race to the Top – ELC. Bonus: I believe the QRS is tied into Pay for Success.
And yet another post from her:
For those who need to hear it: our children do not have to learn to code the virtual world in service of digital capitalism.
And some replies to this post:
What are your thoughts on good potential careers for kids to aim for that wouldn’t be technology based?
TBH I think in the coming decade it will be at least 90% of humanity put on data dashboards as impact commodities and then a group of data analysts and coders and cyberwarfare specialists. We have to STOP this world from being built at all. Even if a person “wins” and isn’t on a dashboard they will be compelled to perpetrate violence against their fellow humans and the planet. They will be mentally devastated. As a mom of a 19 year old, I think about that a lot. The future of work is AI dictated microwork tied to skills badges and social credit / reputation scoring.
Self-employment. Organic farms. Naturopathic medicine. Barter economy/gift economy. Separatism. Buy guns, ammo & more weapons. Lots of them. We’re going to need them. One cannot negotiate w/ psychopaths. Period.
They should become farmers carpenters electricians roofers so we can keep ourselves housed and fed
ARTISTS, PERFORMERS! CREATIVITY! FUCK ALL THIS TECHNOCRATIC SHIT!
Hi. What do you mean “Even if a person “wins” and isn’t on a dashboard they will be compelled to perpetrate violence against their fellow humans and the planet.”? So you think the 25-35 year old kids who are now really good at programming, know all the graphic skill sets, 3-D modeling used in computer games are going to be persuaded to do psychopathic service/work? Asking for clarification…Personal concern…
As students and professors move across campuses, they leave plenty of digital traces—such as when their smartphones connect to Wi-Fi hotspots, or when they swipe their keycards to unlock buildings or enter dorm rooms.
Some campus officials plan to use that data to try to contain COVID-19 when campuses reopen in the fall. That information, they say, can be useful to health officials trying to track down people who have come in contact with students or professors infected with the virus.
But tapping into such data systems is unusual, if not unprecedented, and some worry about whether the practice overly invades personal privacy.
Officials plan to inform the campus community about the tracing effort, and notify users when they log into the network that “OSU explicitly reserves the right to share necessary information from its computing system with appropriate authorities during a health and/or public safety emergency.”
There will be no way to opt out
That seems to go against a best-practice recommended in a recent report by EAB, an education consulting firm, which says the use of contract-tracing apps should be voluntary. That said, the report and other experts note that participation in any tracing program must be widespread to be effective.“
One important point that the author of this article misses is that these housing bills ARE part of the post-pandemic plan in California. Just as we are going to see the Chan-Zuckerberg Schools and Communities First/Prop 13 proposition that will raise taxes on commercial properties, these businesses owners won’t need to worry about it because they never intended for workers to go back into these buildings after COVID is over. These commercial properties will convert to pack-n-stack housing and avoid the higher property taxes. Social Impact Bonds will pay to build the housing. It’s a financial windfall for these companies! SDG2030 Agenda21 fourthindustrialrevolution
“Among other things, this package would effectively end single-family zoning in California, a longtime Wiener goal.”
Oh look – the Federal Reserve is really excited about Covid and child care. 🙄 Cue the surveillance play tables. Seriously – f*ck these people.
Who Will Mind the Children? The Impact of COVID-19 on the Child Care Market
Join us to learn how public policy and non-government organizations can address child care challenges that existed before and are exaggerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Child care plays a critical role in people’s ability to work, but many lower-income households do not have the economic resources to afford high-quality child care. On the provider side, already-low margins mean many providers may close due to pandemic-related cost increases and revenue reductions.
Speakers will discuss how a successful response to the pandemic will require strengthening the child care sector to address both the short-term economic threat and also provide for a more sustainable business model for child care operators. The program will highlight how bolstering the sector can advance progress on racial and economic equity through access to high-quality child care.
Speakers:
Julia Barfield, Senior Manager of Policy and Programs, U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Eric Buchanan, Director of Strategic Partnerships, Buffett Early Childhood Fund Bevin Parker-Cerkez, Managing Director, Program Services & Senior Director, Early Childhood Education, Reinvestment Fund Ben Horowitz, Senior Project Manager, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Matuschka Lindo Briggs, Director of Communications and Strategic Support, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (moderator) Register for this session at the Connecting Communities® website. Participation is free, but preregistration is required.
It’s moving so fast. It’s just unbelievable . Treasurer josh frydenberg already talks in Melbourne re: mandatory code for electronic communications; he is clear as mud . In the middle of epidemic they reframe the legislation ; so far it sounds real shit for whistleblowers . ” code will require digital platform to negotiate reiumeratuon to Australian businesses”. It’s a mandatory code ” governing media competition” I don’t quite understand it. But maybe you’ll make more sense of it.
i hope you werent sold on the its all ” for the children” lies
If the Federal Reserve, the same guys who create money out of debt and charge us interest on it are calling this child care thing a “sustainable business model”, then I can safely surmise that it’ll be profitable for THEM and a disaster for US.
Warren Buffett backs Educare. Just like his buddy George Kaiser. Early childhood education has a hefty ROI. Train poor kids to be robots.
Buffett Early Childhood Fund, one of the presenters, invests in Educare franchises. The Tulsa Educare has been using Hatch Education “We Play Smart” tables to surveil and profile children – surveillance play tables.
They are coming after the children. Don’t let them. Since when did the US Chamber of Commerce, Warren Buffet, and the Minneapolis and St. Louis Federal Reserve care so much about toddlers? Right as HUMAN CAPITAL BONDS. Who will mind the children? Maybe we should be asking who will stand between the machine of tech-no-logic and the children? What are you prepared to do?
And yet another post from her:
In this future the billionaires have got planned, folks are either going to be ON the dashboard or RUNNING the dashboard – oppressor or oppressed. If you’re a parent be prepared to fight for a different future for all our kids. “Winning” in such rat race means having the obligation to brutalize one’s fellow human beings and bear the mental trauma that goes along with it. Know the past (enslavement, genocide) and build a different future. We don’t want what is coming.
I say this as the parent of a child who attended a well-regarded public magnet school. These kids are being trained up to be the dashboard minders. There is a very clear plan if you are willing to actually look at reality (within a historical context). Ashamed to say things only started to come into focus for me rather late in life. Trying to make up for lost time.
i mean I am living in this world – I feel obligated to fight them. Even if it’s just me. [name redacted this was the post I was talking to you about – the Union League.
Just this morning coming up against a white UPenn credentialed magnet school administrator pushing “anti-racism” and Malcolm X all over his feed. And he knows all that I know, because we were part of a “social justice” teach in reading group way back in 2017, and he is smart enough to know. But he hides behind the idea that we should just wait and follow others – even when we know the truth of what is happening. More convenient to let identity politics let us off the hook of not knowing, not having to actually do anything outside a dmn “progressive” reading group. And so I called him out for his bullsht. White people holding white people accountable. Dropped this post – said he knew and said nothing about what is coming. These are the same people that will go to marches with “silence is violence” signs. Someone advised me not to write this post when I made it – too touchy, might be taken wrong. But I did it anyway, because it was the truth, and it is important that people knew I saw what was coming and now here it is. They neutralize them with good “woke” behavior micro-credentials. F*ck that. I’m far from perfect, but I’m not signing up for any of their stinking badges.
Well – there’s the digital vouchers you see and if you take them that means aligning to the standards, issuing skills badges, sending back the impact data. They will take over your libraries, community theater, maker spaces, sport leagues, apprenticeship programs. ALL OF IT. Moving forward no one is safe until we can build a non-badge economy. Where do you go if you become a young adult with no badges in a world of AI mediated HR. Nowhere. This is big. It’s not helpful to frame it as public/charter/parochial/private/home school/unschool anymore. It is humanity against militarized AI behavioral training. That is the fight and we have to all be in it together.
agreed. I personally am not holding out much hope that we’ll be able to alter the course of the mainstream-technocratic-statist economy in a fundamental way. It’s possible, and I feel there is great value in resisting the accelerated move to 4IR, but at the end of the day, I feel it’s also of high importance for people to wean themselves off of the bourgeoise-comfort lifestyle and learn to find joy and fulfillment in building an adventurous (albeit strenuous) lifeway outside the statist economy. The more people that act as if they don’t need the state to survive and thrive, the more robust the counter-economy will be, which will increasingly make it easier and more appealing for others to opt out (i.e. the network effect). Build Freedom Cells—> build alliances of Freedom Cells —-> create a robust Counter-Economy/“Conscious Agora”
And yet another post from her:
The ground for government mental health “solutions” was carefully prepped years in advance of Covid. All those polices will now be used manage dissidents and those who speak against what is coming. You can see it in the media framing already.
And some replies to this post:
And the closet fascists will cheerlead
the depressing thing has been seeing how so many I thought were on the left are actually fascists. Eye opening
Hands down the biggest eye-opener of the past 20 years for me – i never even realized until the past few years – makes you think.
Exactly. I mean I have been trying to act consistently with what I understood as a policy of collective liberation within a historical continuum of racial capitalism. I hadn’t changed but the world turned upside down.
the hints were there, but I failed to put the pieces together. All of that talk about fully automated luxury communism? I never bought it, but what I didn’t realize was that it wasn’t a mere delusion but a way of marketing technofascism to people who think they’re on the left. The technology itself can only ever be totalitarian.
Exactly – that is why struggles like Wet’su’weten nation inspire me. People in right relationship – not a world of robotic planned industrial labor and UBI. Ugh.
I had previously thought of propaganda brainwashing as being limited to perhaps a weakness for commercial advertising – but i now see that many people’s entire worldview is profoundly wrong yet it is immune to correction by rational analysis – seems to be a circular logic belief system rooted in identity built over a lifetime that is outside the realms of critical analysis.
Yes – but even the person who helped put me on this path and gave me the structural analysis fell into a spell and was lost from me. So it doesn’t take a lifetime to accomplish. It can happen in a few months time.
This person said I was educating the wrong people. If FB posts can be considered “education.” I mean who coming from a liberatory mindset would want to be selective about who is allowed to hear the “truth,” at least the truths that I am uncovering? It made no sense to me to restrict this information.
it’s like burn the witch behaviour I have already seen it on twitter.
ABSOLUTELY. SEE PART 3MHA: indefinite detention of considered ” under criminal proceedings”( refusal to cooperate with tracing ” authorities” and police ISa criminal offense)
what goes on in Britain eventually filters to Commonwealth. I’ll check Australian Mental Health Act 2014 under corona .
I haven’t checked, but anyone who questions the narrative would be another unfortunate recipient of forced treatment 😦 from what I’ve witnessed!
I just started following your page and really appreciate how you connect the dots here. Do you think there are any countries in the world that will not follow the agenda or at least have a decent chance of fighting it?
The governments will comply, but I have hope in our fellow humans to resist. This is a global project. They intend to force us all into the control grid – the systems are with the satellite constellations.
This is the UK go to document to gaslight the population – may of already sent it but here again –
” Nudging the population towards correct behaviors”—- that’s before drones and robots with ” nudge the population” with machine guns, give it 5 years…. FUCK ME😱😱😱
Yes, you can see the framing already. Dissenters are psychologically unstable. Non-compliers mental illness. Freedom fighters are “terrorists”. You see the framing almost everyday.
Yes, the attacks are always personal and do not speak to the issue being discussed.
They are actively picking up ” targets” who are not compliant, usually POC and usually poor. These two ” refused to cooperate”, hence GLOBAL SLANDER, their faces plastered all over media, their faces and names released. Yet the PM Brett Hazzard who waved cruise ship Ruby Princess through, allowing to disembark some 3000 people with few hundred ” positives” with ” zero quarantine”—– not a peep in the media. But then again, he is rich and white & Freemason of course, and male.
All those planted stories about learning “outside?” The subtle bit is that in short order it will come with wearable tech to track children in “smart” park settings. That is the future of “anywhere, anytime” learning. You’ll use your digital voucher for “school” to collect the badges. Just as they are imagining the day when they can force out-of-work people to exercise in order to prove compliance and continue to receive public benefits, they will do this to children – all of us really – “lifelong learning” on the ledger. Wrote this several years ago. Google and AWS play the long game. We’re all in their game only most of us don’t realize it.
This was the follow up piece to the above post. What does it mean to be a young Black teen navigating a militarized police state to earn skills badges in a “smart” surveillance city? You see they are not going to sell it that way. They are going to sell it as “choice” and “personalization” when really it’s predatory profiling within the panopticon of the debt-finance matrix.
Of course use of wearable tech on children is also being undergirded by the storyline about trafficking, too. Put them out in the “smart” world, unregulated, possibly dangerous settings, but it’s all good because they’ll be tracked every moment for Google’s data harvest. See how these storylines weave together?
And some replies to this post:
Have you seen the chore cards on Next Door?
Yikes – no I’m not on that platform.
Yes it is true, we are all in it. Some of us know and some do not. I see it so I have to learn to live with it somehow. I take the position of Martin Luther King. He knew that everything he was doing was being watched and recorded. He knew the government would one day have to kill him. He accepted it and continued to do what he believed to be right.
Even in the software engineering world (programming world), credentials are being promoted to Coursera badges, micro certificates, Micro Universities, Mini-degrees, etc. It’s almost impossible to keep up with the hundreds of mini-degrees and the specialties. I’ve been noticing this for the past decade or more. It’s only getting worse.
And yet another post from her:
Here you go folks. Op-ed advancing the idea that the poor and jobless should be tracked on fitbits in order to continue receiving benefits. This is Australia. I do think they are a target for phase one biocapitalism.
“As our government looks to wind back its special coronavirus supplement for people on JobSeeker, I say keep it but make some portion dependent on a willingness to commit to healthier behaviours.
I’m calling it “Walk for the Dole”. Stick with me.
There has been an explosion recently in wearable technologies to track health outcomes. The simplest is a pedometer or the steps trackers in an iPhone. Jobless people are particularly vulnerable to poorer physical and mental health outcomes, particularly the longer they are jobless. Why not deliver them a pedometer and incentivise them to walk a certain number of steps a day − say 10,000 − while checking in weekly with a mental and physical health support worker. We could have a boom in healthcare jobs while we’re at it.
Seem far-fetched? Seems to make as much sense to me as forcing JobSeekers to pound the pavement looking for jobs at a time when there are 1 million unemployed Australians – and rising − and only 130,000 job vacancies.”
Also the plan was to sensor up parks for and link to wearable tech for “anytime, anywhere” learning. Take note of all those “learn outside” planted stories.
FUCK ME, I am on the dole & fat & have COPD. I am bound to kick the bucket under ” new system”. FUCK .
It’s monstrous. All of it.
Monstrous doesn’t even begin to cover it, given that ppl who are ” fat” have SIGNIFICANT comorbidities and simply won’t be able to follow this ” exercise routine”, specifically when ” mental health workers” are pushed on them — and their body data is sold in order for them to be able to EAT. This is just outright insane. I know people on Job Seeker who reality should be on disability, including but not limited to mentally ill, chronically ill, addicts of ALL SORTS, alcoholics , drug addicts, people who have anxiety to the degree where they are physically unable to leave the house , people with zero written skills in English, people who speak very limited English & would not be able to register their Social Secirity benefits without help, people who are 27 yo and literally incapacitated with polycystic ( POS) or emphysema and let’s not forget AIDS & Hep C which are absolutely debilitating to persons health. These people WILL die. This is not just monstrous, this is murderous . Given how ” thoughtful” and caring” Australian bureaucracy is ( dealt with it as carer for 15 years), I can say with an absolute certainty that people WILL die
They are building a world for robots. That is the sick logic of it. They will push people until they die for the data they can get. I believe you.
Holocaust I began w/ T4, an eugenic pgm which murdered 250,000 elders & ppl w/ disabilities. There was a public outcry & the nazis lost patience w/ T4’s glacial pace & Holocaust I escalated to boxcars, gas chambers & ovens. Today’s 4IR is based on failed dietary theories, failed educational theories, failed racial theories, failed gender theories, failed economic theories, failed psychiatric theories, failed medical theories, failed theology, failed viral theories & a whole host of other failed theories. It is a setup for failure & will lead to hi tech concentration camps & gas chambers.
Patent WO/2020/060606 was registered on 26 March 2020. The patent application was filed by Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC, headed by Bill Gates, back on 20 June 2019, and, on 22 April 2020, the patent was granted international status. The title of the patent is “Cryptocurrency system using body activity data”.
It will likely also be what to eat. What medications to take. If the health id is fixed with a debit/credit card – won’t be able to purchase certain things. Regularising food tyranny. Access. Instructions on where to walk and what to buy to have a ‘healthy’ certificate. We must start sooner than later to wean ourselves off this tech. How? And more importantly – when?
Exactly right.
I unknowingly stumbled into it a few years ago. This is the AR video game we are in. https://anewcityos.org/
I totally confronted him at a civil protest about a Columbus statue ribbon cutting in a local park – about blockchain ID and “smart” playgrounds. I asked him if he knew about the Heckman Equation and he did – seemed surprised that I knew.
But – yes – the getting out part. I think we are all feeling the strain.
TBH being there was surreal. I was pulling back the curtain on all of these folks over the boxed lunches and you could just see them shrivel up inside.
And the weird thing is the space was a center on “energy.” So really totally right for the technocrats. Perfect.
Food pyramid is a failed theory which is a setup for failure. This is why the medical establishment is viciously attacking paleo, keto & low carb diets in general bcz they are the best. Hi carb diets being forced by pay for success will guarantee weight gain which is PERMANENT & will trigger fatphobia. Another excuse for genocide.
That’s our UK prime minister 😡
The op-ed was Australia citing Johnson as a model – fully colonial project this is.
I’ve thought all along they would attach health measures into the health passports for access to benefits. Everything’s so transparent now. Won’t be long and they will track what we buy at the supermarkets
They are already tracking what we buy/sell/talk about etc. Now they want to TELL you what to buy and at which supermarket, what you can say and cannot, who you can meet and cannot – if the plan goes through. For now, and for the most part, people are too lost and have succumbed the gamble – the fear – and have not yet realised the play at the compromise and full appropriation of choice-making. We really must to begin to understand ‘choice’ in this context. That is something they definitely don’t want anyone to have.
Indeed, hence the push to get rid of cash. We use cash now more than we ever did! Alison sure opened another Pandora’s box for me to get my head around! It’s all especially concerning due to having an almost 4 year old..
How condescending can you get. She was also implying I thought that jobseekers should get used to being unemplyoyed as there are no jobs & no prospect of any either. The Colonial Department of Nudges has a huge herd of human livestock to reprogramme as to what to do with their time in a world of no jobs, no travel, minimal socializing, no cultural events, sports or live entertainnment. If you refuse to participate you’ll be treated for your mental health condition or benefits will be stopped..
I just shudder to think of the world situation this time next year, it’s all happening so fast.
In the US most states have something similar for mental “health”. Involuntary Outpatient Commitment (also known as Forced Outpatient Commitment or Assisted Outpatient Commitment/AOT). Basically is it when you are forced to take psych drugs, attend day programs (therapy as a full time job), keep therapist/psychiatrist appointments, submit to drug testing, etc. as a condition of not being forcibly hospitalized again and/or continuing to receive govt benefits such as housing. In NY the law allowing this is called Kendra’s Law and was passed after a sensationalized violent incident. The courts that mandate it are total kangaroo courts; try sitting in on one if you want to really see what a fascist court system looks like. Most often the orders are to take antipsychotic drugs (known to cause drastic weight gain, fatigue and Parkinson’s like symptoms) as a condition of living “in the community” (ie not in a psych ward). Fighting these laws has been a major priority of the consumer/survivor/ex-patient movement for years.
Thank you for this important background as well as to those who have been opposing such measures. I have seen similar things in child “protective” services proceedings.
Yes, I have been a lifelong antipsychiatrist after being drugged in early childhood to cover up my mother’s abuse. There can be no feminism or antiracism w/o antipsychiatry. This is another part of the technofascist theocratic agenda.
There has been numerous attempts to introduce mental health assesments in the last few years here in the UK too. Last year a pilot study that doesn’t even use Dr’s or trained mental health workers but the job centre staff.
Don’t take anti-psychotics. They made me psychotic with years of insomnia even after finally getting off them. The manufacturers need to be in prison and none of my previous providers or therapists have the humility to talk to me about any of it or speak to my lawyer. They can all go fek themselves. Kids need outdoor self responsible leadership programs and bushcraft skills and to grow up resilient. Not tall therapy or psychiatry and fake parents. Sorry not sorry!
6 years of insomnia and not even going into all the other symptoms. And the same company Astra Zeneca announced they were making a covid vaccine some months ago. No thanks!
So dumb now tracking mental health behavior and useless interventions of case workers who have no idea how to rehabilitate a stump. You know what people really need? To be able to chop wood, care for a garden, feel like a non emasculated man and be able to think and speak for themselves. Not walk into offices walking on eggshells and whining with inherited projections of smothering doormat drug addled parents etc. In a sense I’m all for eugenics.. IF it’s a eugenics based on resilient and compassionate mentoring methods to self responsibility and freedom of divervisified personalization of one’s self.. through more nature based and student lead learning. I’m leaving into the woods. Bye bye society.
I agree that Australia seems to be at the forefront of the most draconian measures. Has anyone heard anything more about those tenement buildings they put on total lockdown a while back? People weren’t allowed to leave their apartments for any reason.
Here is a post from an anti-Common Core group: Nightmare…just picked up summer reading from my sons school…knowing what I know now…I am furious! All propaganda, US created false wars around the world and made Refugees!
And some replies to this post:
In my personal experiences, private schools have caved to the agenda as well. , plus “homeschool” programs. I’ve tried both. Its infested everything. A lot of those “refugee” books have sexually explicit scenes all thru out. That is what opened my eyes 3 years ago…. 8th gr summer reading— my son learned what anal rape with a coke bottle was. I’ve been on the warpath since. (And this is an exclusive private school w an avg class size of 10)–good ole small town America…
our children’s innocence is gone!
Yes, it is. And, the Board of Directors at this small school all supposedly lean conservative and attend local church services. Problem is, they don’t have a clue the evil woven into these curriculums they’ve approved. They have bought the party line hook, line and sinker. Any attempts at educating them on the reality and true agenda are met with “that lady is crazy. Conspiracy anti-vaxxer”— exactly how the people running this operation want them to react.
challenge them directly read read the book. Each person!
I did… They said they would moniter that history class more closely…. Eventually, the principal contacted G-oogle, and somehow had my emails to the school blocked. Its all about ‘who you are and who you know”… Bc the next year, the teacher was fired bc a parent w clout didn’t like the teacher sending her own children to school dressed as their “gender ” of choice.. No other parent saw anything wrong, and if they did– the fear of losing social status keeps then quiet.
In my experience, people, esp those with post-graduate degrees and highly successful, do not appreciate parents pointing out areas where they may have either dropped the ball or didn’t do proper research themselves. They become very defensive and will go on the attack instead of looking inward and admitting they are mistaken. After all, they are on the Board or they have been in the field of education for 2 decades…how could a parent with no experience in the possibly know something we don’t know?? My husband and I decided to keep our sons out of public ed so we’ve made tremendous sacrifices for 14 years for this “private ” school. Things were fine until they too caved to CC 3 years ago so now I’m simply paying big bucks for a common core curriculum in a country club setting. They have no clue what the agenda is. Sorry for rant… Absolutely no one around me has a clue what I’m talking about re these issues so I tend to ramble when given the chance.
Same battle with vaccines, got kicked out of so many doctors offices for refusing. Please soon wake the world up & tell the world the truth!
I had never been on social media until last month, but when current events really brought out the obvious lack of common sense and willingness of Americans to believe whatever they’re spoon fed, I had to see if there were like minded people somewhere in this upside down country we’re living in. Praise God there is a remnant! ✔!
Here is a post from the Common Core Diva in this group:
Warriors: Recent DC educratic moves conducted while all eyes on Covid-19, have upped the workforce prep ante. From one unconstitutional agency to another, the goal is 100% conformity to the SDGs.
The email I received from the local board of education flaunting their SJW opinions re “current events” even identified themselves as “CHANGE AGENTS”.. These local school boards honestly have no idea how they’re being used as pawns for tyranny. For the life of me, I will never understand the cognitive dissonance in ‘highly educated’ people agreeing to hand over Americas children to ngo’s and the fed govt. They simply do not see the true agenda.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
What started as the “Electronic Monitoring Indigency Fund” or “DUI Monitoring Fund” has been transformed into a Kafkaesque highway surveillance program
There are things I want to go back over with all of you – One thing I want to say I appreciate and love all of you as brothers and sisters in Christ. I realize at times I have not been charming in some of my expression when I have posted but the reason and my intentions was for all of you to take what is being told to heart . History does play a huge part in what is happening in our country . From the time FDR was president and his hiring of Keynes, who was a Fabian Socialist , concerning the changing of our economy .. Some examples – The senate hearing which I had posted in the past concerning David Rockefeller , Aurelio Peccei, who was co-founder of Club of Rome, and Under Sec. George Ball . Rockefeller and Peccei spoke on trade which was actually redistribution of America’s wealth aka manufacturing . Under Sec. George Ball spoke not only on trade but also a need for a new currency aka global currency. We have Nixon, Rockefeller and Kissinger traveling to China ,. Remember Nixon opened the door for trade with China this was actually the beginning of redistribution of manufacturing to other countries . Nixon took our gold base standard economy. Bush signed Agenda 21 in Rio, Clinton and Gore administration ” Reinventing America through technology . Bush creating what we are dealing with now concerning electronic filing of our health care . In 2009 the first G20 Obama attended the governments of the world began the process of changing to a global digital economy by the desire of removing the dollar as the global reserve currency , UN supported this as well as China . In 2015 both political parties voted for IMF Reform this needed to be done in order for China’s RMB/ yuan to be added to the IMF basket of currencies Obama supported financial technology/ Fintech as well as this administration . I have mentioned many times both political parties have used Hegelian Dialect on Americans this is deceitful .. They have actually used every American for their benefit / goal of creating what we are seeing digital global governance which we have known in the past as new world order – This administration is also doing the same as the movement to a digital economy and digital currency . The government system knows that humans can not survive with out a means of a currency . . Ripple , which we know now is one of the major pushers behind a digital currency – They have a member on the IMF Advisory Board as well as a member on the Federal Reserve Fast Track Payment Advisory Board , the same rep. is also on Better Than Cash Alliance which is connected to the United Nations.his name is Ryan Zagone , Chris Larsen is the rep on the IMF board. The United Nations as well as our own government is involved in digital ID this too is part of the monetary/ economic system as well as health care , etc… Ripple is also connected to ID2030 through Accenture .. The pyramid is huge on all the connections of developing a new digital global governance . Smart cities which is also being created slowly in our country is connected to the UN and to our own government this will also involved digital economy and currency – Smart cities was actually the brain child of Lenin and Stalin … China has been working on building smart cities in their country as well as Russia and all the other countries including Israel and Arab countries this is global my friends .. An example of this is when the hurricane almost destroyed Houston the mayor of Houston flew to Israel to discuss smart cities – An example ” Tonight, Mayor Sylvester Turner will lead a delegation on a week-long economic investment and trade mission to Israel to explore “Smart City” management while promoting Houston as a high-tech business gateway and tourist destination.
Here is an example of America and smart cities – The gentleman denied having anything to do with the UN since the article has been written the information of the agenda of smart cities connection to the UN has been removed . There is an excellent video of him speaking on Smart Cities and yes there is now a caucus in our government concerning smart cities
“Look at the way technology is fundamentally changing lives and places like Kenya. Think of this. In Kenya, the phone, your smartphone, our smartphone is that way to financial inclusion in Kenya. The “movement of money cheaper” in Kenya than it is here because of this simple device. It’s more powerful in that jurisdiction than in ours because of regulation and forward-looking regulation. And instead of loading buses filled with luggage that’s filled with cash in moving money in Kenya, they’re now doing it through a fast transfer over their mobile device. They’ve moved generations ahead overnight. And in fact, in many ways, they’re leading the world in Fintech deployment. So, we’re living in a new and exciting era in financial services. It’s actually matched the best interest of consumer protection with the demands of global smartphone-led revolution that we, as consumers, are driving. Now, that’s what’s happening in the real world. ” https://youtu.be/fzcNBrgvbjA
In closing some of the history of what I have shown here is NOW trying to divide all of us and a means of pushing us into their communistic system -They want us to hate each other , they want us to destroy each other – When they divide, they conquer and this is not the way of God’s teachings .. Do not allow hate to fill your heart against one another . Keep the teachings of Christ in your heart , pray for each other , and be watchmen of TRUTH for everyone and teach the TRUTH to one another , and be good Christians … Teach what is happening now that is the most important Remember the truth always prevails … Remember Luke 11:28 ? But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Here is a post from another friend of mine:
You might as well say good-bye to the brick-and-mortar shops and retail outlets you have enjoyed all of your life. The Covid-19 Great Reset is occurring and soon the majority of commerce will be done completely online. If you want to see what your online experience in the future is going to be like, consisting of no human handling, complete with self-driving delivery drones, vehicles, and robots, then look no further to how it is done in China. You definitely will want to read this article (which btw, is written by CapGemini, a company that performs mass data collection, data-mining and predictive analytics for corporations and governments around the world – just so you know).
They are flying drones in Melbourne during the night. I travel to different suburbs for various reasons, as to get contraband goodies like tobacco. Anyhoo, within one night I saw FOURTEEN drones in one suburb, 3 in my ( upper class super rich) suburb( I live in shirty flat there for many years lol ), and seven or nine drones in third suburb patrolling parks & public land. They never fly over roads, in full view of motorists , etc—- I KNOW that this is a trial run for future “ great reset”. They fly drones covertly, during the night, over public land like parks, Forrest areas, empty land etc—- and over public housing. When I saw one, during the day, above my block of flats, during the time of very little or no lockdowns I was so infuriated that I gave it a nice juicy middle finger: it immediately flew away. I also see literally thousands of small businesses closed with signs “ for lease” on empty shops. Scary shit. And that’s Melbourne, voted 7 years in the row as “ most livable city of earth “.
Problem is, the choices of goods will be severely depleted also
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
UN MEGAREGIONS Would Megaregions work better than state governments? Floating the idea that megaregions would be a better fit for America. Defunding police is only the start. Abolishing city councils, mayors, school boards and state legislators could be next! As you know, Minnesota is part of a 7-state regional compact. “Looking ahead, megaregions could become the policy vessel for new realities, including more people working remotely, allowing them to spread out across agglomerated labor and housing markets. “It might actually help mitigate the overconcentration of jobs and population in our largest urban regions — and alleviate the extreme congestion and run-up in housing prices that has undercut the livability and functionality of America’s densest urban places,” Yaro says.
GREAT START FOR ALL MINNESOTA CHILDREN MAY BE ON THE DOCKET THIS FRIDAY! It appears the MN House Early Childhood Committee is meeting about matters found in the Great Start Bill –> HF 1. The House already passed HF 1. The Senate passed portions. It could all pass this time! This is Rep Pinto’s committee and they are meeting a day early. Unfortunately or inconveniently, the Senate pages are all down under construction making it difficult to check on Omnibus bills.
And yet another post from this group:
School without the Arts and Phy Ed sounds so inhumane!
“Randolph Public School District, located in the Greater Boston, Massachusetts region, has cut their entire K-12 arts, music, and physical education (PE) programs and staff from their 2020-21 budget. In a district with only 250 teachers, at least 25 teachers and other workers were given RIF (reduction in force) notices this week. This already comes after extraordinary losses, with the Washington Post reporting in early May that the district told “dozens of workers—including teaching aides and food service staff […] they will be furloughed full time or part time.”
So, if this is true, can’t we just go back to school and school activities as pre-COVID? Children are almost always asymptomatic. “From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,” Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing from the United Nations agency’s Geneva headquarters. “It’s very rare.”
You’re trying to be logical. 😉 The last report out of the CDC basically said “Whoops! We made a lot of mistakes and the “Rona isn’t so bad but for LTC facilities and those with significant disease. So to reply… WHY are we still masking, distancing, testing (without illness) and contact tracing?? There’s only one possible answer. Covid was used for nefarious purposes all across the globe.
Don’t get me started on losing the arts…I have my bachelors in fine arts. I’m a practicing artist as well as Having worked In Childcare for 29 years. I taught Com Ed classes for adults and children for just as long- love it. But in order to teach in a school, I need 3 years of “how to teach”. VS. a teacher- who has a broad spectrum of many subjects and those teachers that specialize in art, have minimal art training. My child’s grade school art teacher was awful…my daughter ended up hating it because her teacher wanted perfection; end results and never looked at process. Elementals were taught & learned, but sacrificed to no self exploration. The teacher had lines permanently marked on the tables where pencil & eraser were to be😳. So the daughter of an artist was turned off of creating art due to the system…sad sad days. There needs to be a bit of revamping. And I say, it may be more enjoyable to find programming outside of school- new faces and different perspectives. I’m a bit disillusioned by the things I’ve seen working in school district for the last 30 years.
Here is a post on the wall of a friend of mine:
“NO!!!!! My daughter goes to Belmont. The University decided to host the debate between Trump and Biden. The students all got an extra $750 fee added to their tuition for both semesters next year for “betterment in the quality of education” … I’m barely able to pay tuition… actually we completely run out of money after 1 more semester but the University decided having Trump and Biden “enriching” the campus is worth $1500 more per student!! I don’t want the RNC or any politicians in our city!!! No political party or person actually gives a shit about their constituents! Our country may as well be led by monkeys! NoRNCinNashville”
The World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” is a transition to a resourced-based (vs. price-based) economy. Instead of determining prices based on supply and demand for goods and services, the U.N.’s NWO economic model – “Happytalism” (yes, that’s really the official name) – controls the production and distribution of energy in order to align consumer choices with the Sustainable Development Goals. Resource certificates – or some other token – are issued to consumers who may use them or not, but cannot accumulate them. Think Cap and Trade meets UBI (universal basic income).
This system requires continuous monitoring and control of ALL resources so that an “equitable” distribution may be made. I often write about human capital and “data as the new oil.” Human beings become “resources” or “capital” by accumulating useful skills and qualities and by providing a stream of data to the system (to hone AI algorithms). Human resources, like any other resources, must be continuously monitored and controlled as well. And that brings us to light rail infrastructure.
Light rail infrastructure is designed to connect global cities and to transport people from housing to the workplace. It is also set up to monitor and to limit human beings’ free movement. Happytalism is based on place-based urban planning. In other words, districts that are self-contained and restrict traffic in and out of the boundaries. Individual vehicles and the freedom they offer will become a thing of the past. Think: Hunger Games.
In the wake of the Coronapocalypse, this Great Reset is being forced on people here in the U.S. and across the globe, amidst the confusion that makes it difficult to be a vigilant citizen. Here, we see Smart Growth America and T4America’s plan to introduce “game changer” transportation legislation. Here is an excerpt from a legislative summary that describes the transfer of public monies and authority to MPOs – Metropolitan Planning Organizations – which are U.N. proxies and operate as shadow governments.
None of this was ever about a virus.
◾◾◾◾
7) A few other exciting new programs
🔸There is congestion pricing provision that allows the conversion of non-tolled lanes to variable tolling lanes if the Secretary finds that the “toll facility and the planned investments to improve public transportation or other non-tolled alternatives in the corridor are reasonably expected to improve the operation of the cordon or corridor.”
The planning for such a conversion must include consideration of air quality, environmental justice and equity, freight movement and economic impacts. Further, the operator must report on the impact of the program on congestion. Wouldn’t it be nice if state DOTs had to do that on regular highway expansions?
🔸This bill creates a new $600 million competitive program akin the TIGER/BUILD program to fund local and tribal governments, MPOs, transit agencies for projects that improve safety, state of good repair, access to jobs and services, and GHG emissions. The Secretary of Transportation will have to create a transparent new system for objectively evaluating projects and developing a rating system to compare the benefits and costs of each application, using these metrics above. And only the highest scoring projects would be eligible for grants, which can be up to $25 million.
🔸The bill proposes a new $250 million program to provide direct funding to “high-performing” MPOs for locally-selected projects. Awarded amounts would vary from a minimum of $10 and a maximum of $50 million. High-performing MPOs would be determined based on the financial, legal and technical capacity of the MPO; its coordination with the state DOT, transit agencies, and other MPOs in the metropolitan area; and its management of the planning program and past competitive grants.
I keep thinking about that America 2050 megaregion map and how it’s on a transportation UN page.
I was just thinking about this today too! Trying to see into the future with their timeline.
Speaking of seeing into the future, I’d come around to thinking that they AREN’T going to outright go and whack the food supply. That would be TOO obvious and get riots going (and not the BLM kind either). What they would instead do, and they are already doing with the Trump tariffs and other laws plus the shutdowns taking out meat markets (plus the riots destroying grocery stores too), is to make sure that the only guys in town are the Big Farmers that are in public private partnership with DC and the UN and also all of them pumping GMOs and other crap into food to get us sick. Like I believe and their partnership with Gates to create Frankenmeat. If they want us all urbanized too, that would mean less room to garden for ourselves (and also add in “environmental” regulations to prevent us collecting rainwater, or trying to live off the land or raise animals in the city. Again, this might tie into what they are REALLY with the stuff like the IBM Food Blockchain (or whatever it was called). They claim that they are trying to use it to stop food waste and also use this blockchain to stop getting stuff from third world child labor/slavery operations. What they REALLY want, though, I’ll wager, is to stop anything that’s non-GMO and doesn’t go with their agenda getting into the stores. Thus, instead of seeing all the food go away, we’ll see guys like Generals Mills and Tyson take over the grocery stores and drive out the more local brands.
The elites have been playing the long game since at least the mid-1800’s, going from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy. Then, after they’d started to get us to get the food from the store rather than grow it ourselves, they sent it overseas, killing lots of jobs and also ensuring that we now would be at the mercy of other countries to make stuff, hence how countries like China and India were able to blackmail us.
I can see them doing this — all fake food.
I got to thinking, more like them putting the bad stuff in food like they are doing in vaccines, all claiming it’s for our own good and sustainability. Then they can cause sterility and lots of diseases and start killing us off to create the population control Gates and the other elites want.
Also, if history is any indicator, at some point, perhaps to save social security and all of that, they’re going to give the order, if not to outright euthanize, than to cut off all healthcare to the “useless feeders” (or the elderly, sick, and those that they got messed up with their GMO food and vaccines). And I foresee this coming, whether we have a government-run system like the UK or some kind of fascistic public private partnership between a few big insurance companies and hospitals that are in league with the globalist governments.
We do have to wonder if they’ve done it already under the guise of the lockdowns. Them keeping everyone out of the nursing homes and then bringing covid patients into the homes. A lot of the deaths were in nursing homes.
Also, while they cut off “non-essential” surgery and care, they declared abortion “essential” in loads of places.
This Transportation for America thing is also tied to the Green New Deal: In February 2019, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) and Senator Ed Markey introduced the Green New Deal to Congress, momentous legislation that, if passed, would set goals for future climate lawmaking. But the bill had one glaring omission: it was “devoid of the bold reimagining of federal transportation spending which encourages more roads, more driving, more sprawl, and more emissions,” as T4America director Beth Osborne wrote at the time. Until now. A Green New Deal for City and Suburban Transportation, a joint report authored by TransitCenter, Transportation for America, Data for Progress and the Ian L. McHarg Center for Urbanism and Ecology, lays out federal policy recommendations for reducing emissions from the transportation sector in cities and suburbs while making communities healthier, more equitable, and prosperous. Americans want to see many of these recommendations put into action. New polling shows that the report’s recommendations, such as the expansion of public transit and prioritizing roadway maintenance over expansion, enjoy broad, and in many cases, bipartisan support, with Americans supporting expanding public transit by a 77-15 margin.
School calls cops on 11-year-old after seeing his BB gun during virtual lesson
COLLEGE FIX STAFF
JUNE 11, 2020
A fifth grade student in Maryland had the cops called on him after someone noticed a BB gun in the kid’s room during a virtual lesson.
The child’s mother, “a Navy veteran with four years of active duty” who has “extensive knowledge” of guns and their use, told a local news station the police came to her house on June 1 in response to a complaint.
“[The officer] explained to me that he was here to search for weapons, in my home,” Courtney Lancaster said. Her son, a student at Seneca Elementary School in Baltimore County, is in the process of becoming an Eagle Scout and thus “has learned how to shoot a BB gun[,] an airsoft gun [and has] taken three levels of archery lessons.”
The boy’s guns and bow are mounted on a pegboard in his bedroom.
Police told Lancaster “someone had seen the guns in her son’s bedroom during a Google Meet class on his laptop” and had made a screenshot of the image. After trading emails with a school administrator, Lancaster discovered Seneca’s principal had been notified, and then the school’s “safety officer” called the cops.
She said the principal “compared bringing a weapon to a virtual class to bringing a gun to school.” Lancaster added that she was not permitted to see the screenshot photo.
From the FOX-45 story:
“I thought, this is outrageous. This is despicable,” [Lancaster] said. “I had no idea what in the world could this be over? BB guns never even once entered my mind. How many 11-year-old boys have BB guns?” …
“I felt violated as a parent, for my child, who’s standing there with police officers in his room, just to see the fear on his face,” she said. …
“It’s absolutely scary to think about,” Courtney said. “Who are on these calls? Who do we have viewing your children and subsequently taking these screenshots that can be sent anywhere or used for any purpose?”
Project Baltimore reached out to Baltimore County Schools requesting an interview. We received this statement, “Our longstanding policy is to not debate individual circumstances through the media. There are multiple ways for families to share concerns with us. In general terms, the safety of students and staff is our chief concern, whether we are meeting in classrooms or via continuity of learning.”
Mrs. Lancaster asked a good question: What if a kid is set up for online learning, say, on a kitchen island … and there’s a butcher block full of knives in view? Would the police be called then?
And the post quoted:
Principal allegedly compared “bringing a weapon to a virtual class to bringing a gun to school.”
I’ve said this many times. The second I saw reporters on tv ‘reporting” the news from their private homes, and my children were asked to Z-OOM w teachers and classmates, I knew they are simply breaking down our warning system regarding electronic surveillance in the privacy of our homes. Snowdrn prepared the way— a nation goes from outrage finding out Smart Tv’s can surveille them, to voluntarily signing school age children up for live sessions online from their bedrooms…all in 5 short years. No one sees what “they” are doing and why. Its to acclimate every citizen to accepting video surveillance in their homes 24/7. And I don’t know any one who thinks its a dangerous idea.
Close all the schools.
that’s actually what they want… To use “health concerns” to force families to sign up for these mandatory virtual classes… 24 hour surveillance… Acclimate children to being monitored in their homes.. And parents and teachers are puddy in their hands– believing its the nearest thing EVER… Makes me nauseas people can’t see the evil agenda.
That is a blatant invasion of privacy!!! I think the school should be legally advised!!! In very strong terms!!!
I’ve been furious for months about teachers , and parents happily going along with these ,virtual meetups…” My radar went off immediately. Yet every mother I know who goes crazy if their kids eat too much candy is gleefully logging on to these voyeuristic , tyrannical live classroom link ups. I don’t want to see the inside of every kids home my kid has class with. Its creepy.
In addition, parents will scare their kids by making them wear a mask to walk the dog but they’ll allow the child to shut the bedroom door and participate in virtual ‘lessons’… I think the latter is much more dangerous than the former. Upside down thinking based on pure emotions guided by fear. Fear “turns off” critical thinking and the bulk of America is that mode and has put their kids in the same boat. If you fall for anything, you stand for nothing… I m done..sorry for rant. (I’m in a small rural town w very little ‘exposure’ yet 95% are walking around in spacesuits in 90degree weather .
This crap has gone on for years. I’ve heard, some time ago, of them punishing a kid for something, possibly a fake gun or whatever, that they had IN THEIR OWN YARD before getting onto the bus. And I’ve heard of kids getting suspended from school for posting stuff to their Facebook or whatever of them at gun ranges on the weekend.
Plus, I’ve been tracking this Common Core stuff and they’re all into this afterschool stuff like YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, Afterschool Alliance, as well as these STEM groups. STEM was actually invented by the United Nations. And they’re doing home visits, someitmes part of Mediciad, sometimes tied thorugh United Way, and sometimes through this group called StrveTogether Cradle to Career Network.
Here is a post from the Common Core Diva:
ICYMI this morning. My latest interview with Sons of Liberty. It you thought STEM was your friend, you’ll want to break up after this.
JUNE 11, 2020 United States House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services Task Force on Financial Technology Today, I would like to propose a far more fundamental “digital dollar”: a US central bank digital currency. This type of “digital dollar” would be a new, additional format for US currency. It would be a digital bearer instrument that has the same legal status as the dollars in one’s purse, but on a smart phone. It would operate alongside existing forms of money, would be primarily distributed through the existing two-tiered architecture of commercial banks and regulated money transmitters and would be recorded on new transactional infrastructure, potentially informed by distributed ledger technology. Before explaining how such a “digital dollar” will address the topic of inclusive banking in a pandemic, let me first provide some background.
GOP Representative McHenry – “Look at the way technology is fundamentally changing lives and places like Kenya. Think of this. In Kenya, the phone, your smartphone, our smartphone is that way to financial inclusion in Kenya. The “movement of money cheaper” in Kenya than it is here because of this simple device. It’s more powerful in that jurisdiction than in ours because of regulation and forward-looking regulation. And instead of loading buses filled with luggage that’s filled with cash in moving money in Kenya, they’re now doing it through a fast transfer over their mobile device. They’ve moved generations ahead overnight. And in fact, in many ways, they’re leading the world in Fintech deployment. So, we’re living in a new and exciting era in financial services. It’s actually matched the best interest of consumer protection with the demands of global smartphone-led revolution that we, as consumers, are driving. Now, that’s what’s happening in the real world. ” https://youtu.be/fzcNBrgvbjA
“We need to harness technology and data to enable people to have their information in their iPhone,” she said, listing high school degrees, health records and on-the-job skills such as CPR for what she called the “resume of the future.”
As I have tried to tell everyone both political parties are involved – Never be fooled by politics and in researching as I have done over the years one president sets the pace for the next one to implement the goal of global governance ..
Here is a post from another friend of mine:
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. wrote last week about Malibu police’s ticketing Point Dume surfers $1,000 apiece for using the ocean during the quarantine. Was this merely an appalling police judgment at which we will laugh post-quarantine? Or does anyone else feel that this is the first wave of compliance and obedience training for something more permanent? Are powerful state and corporate entities using the current crisis to remove basic rights, and intensify pressures to promote vaccines and surveillance? Does anyone else feel the suffocating darkness of tyranny descending on our nation? And finally, does anyone share my dread that Bill Gates—and his long-time associate Tony Fauci—will somehow be running our Brave New World?
Imagine a world where the government doesn’t need police officers to apprehend those surfers or ticket you when you violate social distancing with your girlfriend. Suppose that computers discover your beach trip by tracking your movements using a stream of information from your cell phone, your car, your GPS, facial recognition technology integrated with real-time surveillance from satellites, mounted cameras, and implanted chips. Desk-bound prosecutors or robots will notify you of your violation by text while simultaneously withdrawing your $1,000 penalty in cryptocurrency from your payroll account. Welcome to Bill Gates’ America. It’s right around the corner.
5G Strategies Recently, Bill Gates announced his financial support for a $1 billion plan to blanket Earth in video surveillance satellites. The company, EarthNow, will launch 500 satellites to live-stream monitor almost every “corner” of the Earth, providing instantaneous video feedback with only a one-second delay.
According to Wikipedia, the company expects its customers to include “governments and large enterprises.” 5G Antennas deploying a vast array of ground-based 5G spy antennas. Through his Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Gates purchased 5.3 million Crown Castle shares currently worth a billion dollars. The Foundation’s second-largest tech holding after Microsoft, Crown Castle owns 5G infrastructure in every major U.S. market. It operates and leases more than 40,000 cell towers, 65,000 small cell nodes which are the central infrastructure for 5G and 75,000 route miles of fiber to every major U.S. market that, instead of going to your home, providing you safe, fast, wired internet, has been confiscated to connect 5G cell towers. … 5G has almost nothing to do with improving your lives; it’s all about controlling your life, marketing products, and harvesting your data for Artificial Intelligence purposes.
Data Mining Big Telecom, Big Data, and Bill Gates are baiting Americans into a digital tyranny-trap with million-dollar TV ads that pretend that their multi trillion-dollar 5G investment is about faster download speeds for video games and movies. But 5G has almost nothing to do with improving your lives; it’s all about controlling your life, marketing products, and harvesting your data for Artificial Intelligence purposes. The 21st century’s “black gold” is data. 5G is the infrastructure for Gates’ “Internet of Things”—a world where tens of billions of “smart” devices: cell phones, computers, automobiles, garage door openers, Apple watches, baby diapers and even our living bodies—are wirelessly interconnected to enable Big Data to gather and sell our personal information. Gates, Elon Musk, Amazon, Facebook, and Telecom are launching the flagships for the new Gold Rush, a teeming fleet of 50,000 satellites and a network of 2,000,000 ground antennas and cell towers to strip mine data from our smart devices. This microwave radiation-emitting spider web will allow Big Data/Big Telecom and Big Brother to capture what happens inside and outside every person at every moment of life. Gates will harvest, control, sort, characterize, analyze, and sell millions of terabytes of personal information from smart devices—private health data, medical records, our shopping habits, our biometric and behavioral responses to advertising, our children’s ability to learn, our facial expressions, and conversations overheard by Siri, Alexa, and your open cell phone’s microphones. His and other corporations will use these analytics to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) and turn you into a predictable, easily-manipulated consuming machine.
Next time you buy a “smart” device, remember the device is not the product—you are.
Surveillance State & Transhumanism Corporations will use Gates’ 5G surveillance system to sell products and escalate AI capacity. Governments will use it to transition the globe to a totalitarian singularity more despotic than Orwell ever imagined. Silicon Valley titans like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Google’s Chief Engineer Ray Kurzweil talk longingly of “transhumanism,” the process by which humanity will transition to become part-human, part-machine via genetic engineering and surgical implants. Bill Gates is investing heavily to accelerate this altered reality. His ambition to tag us all with injected subdermal vaccine data chips seems to be merely a steppingstone toward an all-encompassing surveillance state.
Rewarding Compliance Microsoft has patented a sinister technology that utilizes implanted sensors to monitor body and brain activity. It will reward compliant humans with crypto currency payments when they perform assigned activities. The Patent, WO |2020| 060606 has gained notoriety and the nickname “World Order 2020 666.” Microsoft describes this device as a “Crypto Currency System” and explains that it is “capable of” using body activity data to mine bitcoin in response to compliance with assigned tasks.
People who agree to install the Microsoft harmful wireless sensors will receive periodic “duty” smart phone instructions to watch a certain advertisement, listen to a specific song, walk down a specific grocery store aisle, or to take a certain vaccine. This chip will collect data from embedded sensors that monitor brain waves, blood flow, and other body reactions. The system will transfer cryptocurrency into the subject’s account after completion of the assigned task. On the bright side, Microsoft’s dystopian invention should be a welcome source of income for the 40% of Americans put out of work by periodic COVID quarantines, by Musk’s self-driving electronic cars, which also rely on the 5G rollout, and by Artificial Intelligence, including robots. Will Gates sell the data we freely give him to companies that will take away our jobs?
Owning Smart Cities Maintaining and analyzing the data collected by a 5G infrastructure require massive computers housed in major data storage complexes. To keep control of this infrastructure, Bill Gates is building his own “smart city” in Arizona. According to KPNX-TV, he spent $80 million on a 24,800-acre plot near Phoenix with the goal of turning it into a “smart city” where everything is interconnected via a wireless grid, including fleets of autonomous vehicles. The 80,000 residents of Gates’ company town will mainly work in data centers.
To consolidate his control over what people hear, learn, and think, Gates bought shares in Liberty Global, one of the largest international television and Internet companies, operating in 30 countries and growing.
Controlling Reproduction Gates will even control your body, your bedroom, your medicine cabinet and even women’s menstrual and ovulation cycles. He invested approximately $18 million in MicroCHIPS, a company that among other chip-based devices, develops birth-control implant chips with wireless on/off switches and chips for drug-delivery that allow a single implant to store and precisely deliver hundreds of therapeutic doses over months or years. The implants will be operated wirelessly by the patient to deliver medication. Knowing of Gates’ missionary zeal for population control, however, some customers might worry that the system could be remotely activated as well.
The expansion of the wireless cloud between 2012–2015 was equivalent to adding 4.9 million cars to the roads.
Controlling Climate: Geoengineering Gates’ apparent conviction that God has ordained him to use technology for humanity’s salvation is exemplified in one of his most ambitious projects. Gates is funding Harvard scientists to use Geoengineering to block the sun to reverse global warming and climate change.
That project is a template for both hubris, hypocrisy and risk. The massive expansion of wireless use and the 5G wireless grid—for which Gates is a major player—is the most significant contributor to increased energy consumption. The expansion of the wireless cloud between 2012–2015 was equivalent to adding 4.9 million cars to the roads. 5G is expected to exponentially increase energy use by upwards of 170% by 2026. Proposing to use the wireless “smart” grid to combat the carbon footprint with geotechnology is a hare-brained scheme—not a solution for climate change.
Cashless Society To consolidate global control, Gates has declared war on cash, and the COVID-19 lockdowns have provided governments a convenient pretext for scuttling cash as a health hazard. Gates and his foundation are spearheading the global shift from a cash economy towards digital transactions. Gates and Microsoft are perfectly positioned to profit from a digital payments system. By controlling digital transactions (and removing cash), Gates can control and monitor everything commercial that a country and its citizens do.
Western financial institutions—Mastercard, PayPal, Visa, eBay, and Citi—have long pushed for a cashless world. Electronic banking allows banks and financial consortiums to levy fees on every transaction.
The Digital Economy will allow the Government to monitor and scrutinize every transaction, to freeze digital accounts, and to block “financial flows” to punish disobedience. Operating in a public-private partnership with government, tech billionaires will not only control the nation but will be able to micromanage the worldwide population. Digitized currency is the ultimate instrument of social control. After all, in a cashless society, survival is impossible without access to the digitized economic system. The poor—lacking bank accounts—will suffer disproportionately.
Trillionaire Borg While the lockdown is a cataclysm for the world economy, it is an opportunity for Gates. By purchasing our devalued assets at a penny on the dollar, Gates’ $100 billion might make him the world’s first trillionaire. But the quarantine is also an opportunity to enlarge his power and domination. Under Gates’ leadership, Microsoft became known as “The Borg” because of his appetite for total market control. Now, Gates seeks to bring all humanity under his boot. His worship of technology and his megalomania threaten our freedoms, our democracy, our biology, our planet, our humanity, and our souls.
The microwave radiation used for wireless surveillance of the world is not biologically tolerable, especially for developing children. Thousands of peer-reviewed, published studies abundantly document wireless technology’s profound, adverse, physical effects on humans, animals and plants. Sickness and environmental degradation from wireless technology is already widespread. Big Telecom control of U.S. and global regulatory agencies and media and Gates’ financial control of the World Health Organization have allowed a few billionaires to propagate the patent lie that wireless is safe.
Gates’ technological dreams are not biologically sustainable. His Tower of Babel is bound to collapse, with catastrophic impact for lesser humans. It’s time to dismantle the Tower before it’s too late.
And another post from him: This is starting to look a lot more like a “PLAN-demic” every day. Who agrees to a $100 billion contact tracing deal six months before a pandemic unless they have a pretty strong sense one is coming? This needs to be taken together with Fauci’s statements warning that Trump would definitely see a “surprise” pandemic during his term, Fauci’s support of “gain of function” (weaponizing) research for the coronavirus in US P4 labs and then his support of that same research when transferred to to a P4 lab in Wuhan, and all the investment in a new form of vccine that seems like the first step in creating GMO humans. The promotional material from the UN and other agencies about for a new sustainable future sounds really good on the surface, but it turns out to be greenwashing for a vast vccine and immunization passport scheme via which Gates and Big Pharma would earn billions, and plutocrats would earn hundreds of billions from lucrative megaprojects like new dams, nuclear plants, and LNG terminals none of which will be determined democratically. They corrupted the WHO and the CDC. The whole morass is a seething viper pit of corruption and self-dealing, dressed up in flowery Davos-speak and symbolism that includes girls in pigtails and insincere Black Lives Matters posturing.
Here is a post from another friend of mine:
Read this for an example of impact media. Notice how the vaccine agenda is promoted (we hope for this life-saving solution, we’re so scared without it, doomsday will be upon usif we don’t have a vaccine, etc.), and how anyone who questions this agenda is demonized (a risky person, willing to sacrifice everyone else’s health for a personal choice). That alone ought to make anyone skeptical of this program.
The fact that Bill Gates and his billionaire-buddies are eugenicists is another good reason to reject these social engineering programs.
This is a great piece that illustrates the sheer audacity to hoodwink the popukations over natural medicine use ! I am lost for words now on the ignorance of humanity as it dumbly accepts the flaws of moving away from nature … I have been researching this for decades
From the World Economic Forum- “Vaccine hesitancy must be dealt with. 14 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals are addressed through immunization. “Universal health coverage, primary health care, health security- NONE OF THAT IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT IMMUNIZATION.”
wow. “Vaccine hesitancy must be dealt with.” I have no words.
They couldn’t be any clearer could they. You WILL be vaccinated and you WILL NOT stand in our way.
Why do I get the strong suspicion that it’s strongly about control and population, and not about “health”? More like “Universal BAD health coverage”, “Primary BAD health care”, “BAD health security”, etc… re-engineering the human body, via mRNA.
it’s because your attention is honestly concerned with wellbeing, yours and others, that (not well being) stands out for you. Your listening is for health, freedom and wellbeing, and so what’s not that stands out against the background of the listening you chose. Those who can’t see the problems you see aren’t listening for wellbeing. The choice of what you’re looking and listening for affects what you see and hear and highlights certain aspects while blinding you to others. This is caused by the action of purposely looking and listening through a specific lens. They’re listening for- How can I best signal my desire to belong to and become a member of the group that is rich and powerful? How can I advance my position towards being on that team so that I become rich and powerful? What policies would you like me to implement to signal my allegiance? You get the feeling it’s about control of the the population by benefiting from their misery because their purposefully causing misery. If you look at what they’re up to without being shocked by the difference to your own view you’ll see it more clearly. If you look without coloring your view with anger and rage over the inhumanity of it you’ll see it clearer still. Some emotions, when overlaid on what you’re seeing, cloud what you see rather than clarify it. Emotional reactions are easily manipulated as the current riots make clear. Notice that the rioters in all their righteousness aren’t dismantling the actual imprisoning structures, but just striking out blindly to signal their upset. The UN SDG’s are the prison bars. Their sold as representing concern for wellbeing and are anything but that. They are as you pointed out, harsh and uncaring measures of population control.
and you are correct! I could easily just shut my mouth, take my software and engineering skills and make my way up the ladder and into the inner circles of wealth and privilege. But the problem is, is that those people are the most insincere people I have ever met. They are cheaters, liars, abusers and could care less about anyone less fortunate than themselves. They are the biggest hypocrites I have ever seen in my life. I have rubbed shoulders with the rich going back to my first 40 years of living in NYC. Starting with the beginning of the internet, I had a skill that was in great demand and so I got to work with the Wall Street titans, setting up their internet presence and developing software for them. I got to see their inner workings at their board meetings, their books (that I had to add to databases), and their operational staff members and executives. They were all assholes and looking to be rich. Greedy MFers all. One thing I learned in all those experiences was that they don’t give a rats ass about you once they determine that you serve no use to them. There are no friends among them. Just business prospects. At one time I had a business that was thriving, in the early to mid 90’s and the sky was the limit. But since I had returned from war, I started losing my vision and when that happened, and I lost my business, all of my business associates abandoned me. No help whatsoever. So I learned that they are careless fuckers that don’t care about anyone’s health and “wellbeing”. I know this for a fact! That is why I don’t trust them no matter what they say. Since then I have done well again, but I never get close in association with that class because I know they will stab you in the back if they find that you are in the way of a big buck. So yes, be suspicious of all those that say “well being”, but they are not looking for YOUR wellbeing.
they’re living in a prison of their own making. No genuine happiness among them. So they have to destroy everyone else’s with a a sham like “Happytalism.” It’s tragic on every level.
it is very much so. I used to go to the Hamptons in NY and everyone was so fake. No one was truly happy. Yes, they had nice cars, boats, gulf courses, but no real friends. Just fake people worried about the neighbor or co-worker near by, or competing with their neighbors for who has the most junk. And no one trusting one another. To them, everyone is an enemy. No real friendship. It’s a sad life.
Last year I spent a month in Guinea, Africa. The poverty was extreme and dire. The spirit of the people we stayed with was intoxicating. They had nothing of any material value. What they did have was Spirit, human connection, community, drumming, singing, dancing, storytelling and a level of deep joy and spirituality that is utterly lacking in Western Society. They would of traded what they had in a heartbeat for western goodies. I would of traded all my goodies in a heartbeat for their spirits.
that’s awesome! I do believe you because I have a cousin that goes there each year as a goodwill ambassador and she tells me the same kind of stories. The people have big hearts.
this is also why so many want to come to Europe in search of a better life. That better life is the lure of material goods. More often than not they end up with a few material goodies, a hostile host nation, and a loss of self, culture, connection, family, traditions etc. Alcoholism, substance abuse and depression is rife. The grass is never greener.
I did live in Europe (Germany) for 2 years when I was in the Army stationed there. I had a chance to visit many of the western nearby countries and I enjoyed it very much. Most pf the people were kind and respectful and the cultures run deep in history, but in the end I came back the the U.S., where I belong. Thou, I did gain a different worldview from it all. I wish people would get the chance to experience different cultures and realize we can’t be selfish and judgmental. I’m sure you understand what I’m saying. We make things more complicated than they should be.
travelling deeply into other countries in such a way you mix, speak with and even live with the locals absolutely does broaden the mind and negates a lot of the bigotry we carry within. I too returned to where my heart is, which is my homeland. It is a known fact that if a country or locality provides for its people’s needs then very few of them will ever seek to live permanently elsewhere, such is the human way. I absolutely do know what you mean.
it seems to me we all need to stand up and fight for our freedoms and liberties where ever we are and whatever country we are living in. The true enemy though is the global elites, not the useful idiots doing their bidding for them including your corrupt sock puppet politicians. the one chance of a hard left government was defeated in December 2019. So we don’t have that element to contend with, just a simple global takeover not complicated by anything at all really..
I know. I find it incredible that the so-called elites, the globalist, are trying to perform the heist of the ages, by placing the people of earth in siege. It’s breath-taking of the audacity of their attempt to take the earth in one giant take-over with this “virus” and then attempt to do a “Great Reset” of the global economy and governance of all nations. Are they insane? Apparently so. Their massive wealth has them believing that they can take-over the planet, via their UN tool and think that people will accept it. They are so sorely mistaken. There is clearly more of us than of them, which is why they are working so hard to manipulate our minds and trying to get us to give them consent. Again, poor judgement.
i think you’re right about local action. The one thing the social engineers HAVE to have is the disguise of legitimacy. They need this program to look like it developed legitimately out of the current system of popular government. The best possibility of breaking that veneer of legitimacy is to expose it to neighbors. I’ve tried to do that here in Oklahoma, but, damn, it’s still not working. Our city was colonized a long time ago.
it’s absolutely incredible!!! I think, ‘this cannot be real!’ But venture out and there’s the new fiber optic line, the smart city cameras, and National Security Administration and Israeli Defense Forces breaking groundon a best-in-kind cybersecurity complex. And I don’t know a single person who has had Covid.
I spent time in OK at Fort Sill, in Lawton. Yes, Oklahoma is hard to convince. They are very trusting of government and yes, the legitimacy would have to be done at the local level. Top-down and bottom-up. How to break through the cognizant dissonance is baffling to me. I think the best you can do is give them a strong seed, plant it and then water it. I hate that terminology because it’s like mind control tactics, but it’s trying to re-educate them on what is really happening, after so many years of being duped.
the technology involved is so complex, so vast in scope, and so well tested and ready to roll, that to most people, it’s shocking to know it even exists. This has always been on the floor waiting for a Covid moment. None of this shocks me because I’ve been reading about all of this tech for decades, in the journals I have subscribed to over many years. I just did not tnink it would ever come to fruition, especially against us.

Greenlight Debit Card for Kids is more than just an app and a debit card — it’s three accounts in one: a spending account, saving account and giving account. NBC News dives into how Greenlight provides real-world ways to teach kids about money: https://nbcnews.to/2BIcu8R
Police and security robots coming to airports, malls, stadiums, casinos and other private but densely populated businesses. Knightscope, a commercial security robot company, which calls its Knightscope models “autonomous data machines,” claims the dome-shaped robot can:
Respond to civilians’ verbal or text comments with pre-recorded messages
Uses machine vision to detect people and license plates
Captures thermal imaging
Geotag and mapping its location using GPS and laser technologies
Use four built-in cameras to record and survey the surrounding 360 degrees
Navigate autonomously to a charging pad when it is low on battery
Allow users to contact authorities through its touchpad
A 2017 report published by UC Davis Law School noted that Knightscope was also in the process of developing weapon recognition technology for the robots which can identify shapes like that of a gun or knife. They did not note what other weapons might be recognized by the robot.
In 2018, the company released an open letter saying it would offer $500,000 in services to a college campus that submitted the most “compelling letter” about how autonomous robots could improve security in a school setting.
The marketing (⬅and that is precisely what it is, developed by the likes of McKinsey and Deloitte) of “Social Justice” in higher education is designed especially for the purposes of Technocrat social engineers. They want student data – to compete with China (I posted about this earlier today) and to gain an edge in human capital futures markets. To that end, they have embellished, re-casted, and often recreated a narrative of injustice that MUST be addressed by “objective,” (though that is debatable) outcomes-based, data-driven, evidence-based, and results-oriented social impact programs. Notice that “outcomes” and “evidence” have the same status here. It’s akin to a ponzi scheme.
Every institution of higher education is being boldy transformed by social justice visionaries who are preparing first-generation students for global impact, innovation, entrepreneurship, the 21st century, thought-leading, change-making, trauma-informed, resilient, adaptable, gritty, sustainable, and equitable, community-engagement, and on and on and on. It’s a pathway or a pipeline to the brainwashed one world together.

In 1943, towards the end of World War II, the original plans for today’s United Nations were drawn up by a secret Council on Foreign Relations steering committee funded by the Rockefellers. These plans were eventually finalized at a big conference in San Francisco known as the United Nations Conference of International Organization (UNCIO). UNCIO was held from April 25 to June 26 of 1945. Receptions for UNCIO delegates and other dignitaries were held at the Bohemian Club’s S.F. clubhouse. This is significant because both the United Nations and the Rockefellers are heavily implicated in the New Manhattan Project.
Hubby has been purchasing a few groceries for us – Yesterday he asked me what would I like to have for dinner tomorrow – I said if you can find a roast that would be great I could cook it in the crock pot . When he arrived home he told me he found a roast , I said oh that is great [ it has been quite some time that the grocery store has had any roasts] I took the roast out this morning to prepare it . I almost had a stroke – That roast was a sirloin tip roast and it weighed 1.08 and cost a whopping $19.38… Hubby said that was all they had in a roast … We will be rationing that roast for at least 4 to 5 days … Any one would like to tell me inflation is not here ?
Here is a post from the Minnnesota anti-Common Core group:
EARLY CHILDHOOD COMMITTEE RAISES CCAP RATES WITH A TWIST
Today the Minnesota House voted 6-4 to approve a rise in Childcare CCAP rates. Do you remember the CCAP program from last year?? The corruption??? Where will the funding come from?
COVID-19 CARES ACT. Minnesota received $65M. Yes, they want their hands on the Covid money. This is one-time funding with no promise of funding the elevated rates for next year. Thus the rate rise might be scrapped one year after passage. An official from the Office of Management and Budget couldn’t say if it was prudent to make such a decision.
One representative questioned twice if the Covid money could be used for another purpose. (Mostly likely she was thinking about her home visiting bill.)
THEN THEY SIDE-STEPPED WHO MIGHT ELSE PAY FOR THE RAISE HIKE??? WHICH IS OF COURSE…
YOU!
This entire scenario occurred in the space of 10 minutes.
Here is a post from an anti-Common Core group:
Massachusetts school district gets rid of art, music and PE teachers for coming school year
By Will McCalliss
30 May 2020
See also: “Massachusetts teacher denounces cuts to Randolph and Brookline schools”
Randolph Public School District, located in the Greater Boston, Massachusetts region, has cut their entire K-12 arts, music, and physical education (PE) programs and staff from their 2020-21 budget. In a district with only 250 teachers, at least 25 teachers and other workers were given RIF (reduction in force) notices this week. This already comes after extraordinary losses, with the Washington Post reporting in early May that the district told “dozens of workers—including teaching aides and food service staff […] they will be furloughed full time or part time.”
While the severity of these cuts may be particularly shocking, with the elimination of entire essential departments, Randolph is far from alone in the impact of budget cuts. With anticipated statewide cuts of up to 10 percent in Massachusetts, the nearby Public Schools of Brookline is facing as many as 300 pink slips for this coming school year, in a district with only 645 teachers. The city of Brookline projects that their deficit will be $12.8 million, and will cut $6.3 million of this total from their education budget.
Empty classroom After hearing of the educational departments that would be cut, concerned Randolph citizens took to social media to express their dismay. Concerned about the pandemic, one person wrote, “the thought of cutting any teacher right now is insane to me, because you’re going to need every abled body in order to keep students safe in small groups… to cut the arts right now when all we’ve doing during quarantine is TURNING TO THEM?!”
Following the social media outcry, the World Socialist Web Site interviewed an art teacher who has worked in the Randolph school district for over a decade, who provided valuable insights into the proceedings. The teacher requested to be kept anonymous.
Describing the Randolph school district, the teacher said, “The district is mainly low to working class with a few pockets of higher income but a lot of low income housing options. Many single parent homes and parents working multiple low income jobs to make ends meet and still needing assistance.”
They added, “We are the most diverse district in the state. Over 40 languages are spoken in the homes across the town. We saw a huge increase in our Haitian population after the 2010 earthquake. The fact that we have a high ell [English language learner] population makes art, music and gym all the more important because they can be successful in these classes without knowing much of the language.”
The announcement of job cuts, it seems, was made clumsily at best. On Wednesday, multiple art teachers were informed individually that they were losing their jobs. After talking amongst each other, teachers quickly put the pieces together, and reached out to administration. A principal set up an emergency Zoom meeting that night, where he notified the art teachers of the aforementioned cuts. Music and PE teachers, after hearing rumors, were informed Thursday via emails from HR that they were also given pink slips.
Superintendent Thea Stovell has asked the district to be “mindful of the impact these decisions will have on staff, students and our community,” and that “she remains hopeful that changes will occur that will allow them to call people back.” This hope is both without foundation and little comfort to said staff, students, and community, especially those who are now jobless.
The art teacher we spoke with noted that the loss of arts, music, and PE will be devastating to students, who use them “as an escape from their AP classes.” On top of providing needed stress-relief, many love the classes, where “they feel successful… because they are not ‘typical learners.’ At the elementary and middle school level, kids are assigned to the classes, but the early exposure and success they feel leads them to continue.” Next year, students will not have the opportunity to discover these passions and triumphs, and those who already have will miss them sorely. Also missing will be the classes included in the PE program that teach “health, human sexuality, drug and alcohol awareness,” all of which are crucial topics for youth to learn.
Lost classes are not the only threat facing students next year. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to swell, and reopening schools remains far from safe. Already, the virus has had a major impact on Randolph’s students. The teacher we spoke with stated, “I have at least two students that reached out to me because they had the virus. I have at least one student that I know of that lost his mother. I have another that lost a grandmother and another that lost an uncle. Those are the ones that I know but I’m sure there have been more.”
This should infuriate every parent. These are the classes students need as an outlet, a break from the academic. When a Totalitarian Society is determined to create a workforce, it’s government cuts all but the work.
Of course… because THAT makes sense… not. Cutting programs that give kids some stability and pleasure… of course they would.
This actually IS common core related. Cutting those other programs for their version of stem training and “manual” (like instruction manual) learning is in common core parameters. They are recommended options to fit the plan – just like cursive handwriting.
I remember back in 2015, I asked the school why there was no music or art class and she told me it was due to “budget cuts”. I later found out it was actually because they chose to remove them so afford more technology and common core related classroom “essentials”.
Here is a post shared by a friend of mine:
Bahrain’s app was linked to a game show designed to shame residents into social distancing
A new study analyzing COVID-19 contact tracing apps conducted by Amnesty International has found that Bahrain and Kuwait are using their public health apps as mass surveillance tools.
The study analyzed a collection of contact tracing apps, which are designed to inform and monitor physical contact between people in the event someone contracts COVID-19, from 11 countries: Algeria, Bahrain, France, Iceland, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Norway, Qatar, Tunisia, and United Arab Emirates. It found three particularly egregious apps that collected satellite location data from users, instead of relying simply on Bluetooth signals, and matched accounts with real identities.
In case you didn’t see the article I shared earlier today, here are some more concerns regarding “Contact Tracing” aka surveillance AND the “new normal” for flying in the COVID1984 age:

“Flying seems like just about the most dangerous thing you could possibly do right now. You’re spending hours confined in a metal tube, with hundreds of strangers from all over the world, without any way of knowing where they’ve been or whom they’ve been with. Under those circumstances, you’d expect a few additional safety requirements. No one wants to get sick—so what’s the loss of a little more privacy, if it keeps you out of harm’s way?
That, at least, is the rationale behind a fleet of new measures either under consideration or already in place at airports around the world. In the U.S., the Transportation Security Administration is reportedly preparing to begin checking passengers’ temperatures before they board. New arrivals to the U.K. must, as of June 8, provide an address where they will self-isolate for 14 days. (Police will follow up with “surprise” in-person checks.) More than 45 countries have rolled out “digital ankle bracelet” tracking apps, which are likely to be either mandatory or strongly encouraged for air travelers. Meanwhile, biometric scanning, to check people against their ID, is being aggressively tested by airports from Munich to Sydney.” (link in the comments)

“It is imperative that we recognize the predicaments of the people who are most oppressed within our society, while we firmly recognize the dynamics within the capitalist hierarchy, and stay away from being a part of the mechanism which safely turns our predicaments into driving forces of capitalism.” — Hiroyuki Hamada, Lockdown Therapy for Capitalism, April 27, 2020
I highlight Hiroyuki’s astute observation as collectively, the citizenry continues to function as the essential and moving parts of the very mechanism which continues to succeed in safely turning our predicaments into driving forces of capitalism. The citizenry is being masterfully played, exploited and manipulated – in order to maintain the capitalist system built and dependent upon both the continued and brutal exploitation our fragile biosphere and those most oppressed and marginalized. As long as we collectively continue to fail in identifying these mechanisms, our energies will be harnessed and channeled to further empower those that are destroying our shared world, and all life within it.
“The biggest team the world has ever seen” – Purpose PR firm (sister org of Avaaz) partners with United Nations, Omidyar NGO and Ikea for “Share Verified”.
PR spin: “Combating misinformation… Verified, an initiative of the UN in collaboration with Purpose, to provide content that cuts through the noise to deliver life-saving information, fact-based advice & stories from the best of humanity.”
Reality: Storytelling that aligns with, protects and expands capital.
PR spin: “Like the virus itself, misinformation spreads from person-to-person, heightening the risk to health & spreading fear and division.”
Reality: NGOs such as Purpose/Avaaz are the virus. Misinformation experts “spreading fear & division” akin to contagions.
“You’re engaging right now in the biggest project of social collaboration the world has seen. Bigger than the moon landing, than the Olympics, than the building of the tallest skyscraper or longest bridge.”
Together – they are rebooting the system.
-Fourth Industrial Revolution. -The financialization of nature (New Deal for Nature & Voice For The Planet campaigns led by World Econmic Foru, World Wildlife Fund, United Nations, et al. -See yesterday’s post.
Irony. Purpose “to deliver life-saving information, fact-based advice & stories from the best of humanity.”
Says the PR firm behind the White Helmets. Says the Purpose/Avaaz founders – up to their necks in the blood of Syrian and Libyan peoples. Says Avaaz/Purpose founders – in servitude to empire.
PR: “Organisations, businesses, civil society and media platforms partner with Verified to spread information…”
This is : 1) social engineering, 2) behavioural change, and 3) storytelling – deployed at scale – waged against the global citizenry.
“Verified” will be used to build social license for the fourth industrial revolution and the “New Deal For Nature”.
“Verified’s team of communicators, creatives & researchers produce content based on the latest information & guidance from the UN, the WHO & other UN agencies. We work with leading experts on misinformation First Draft.”
“partners all over the world”
Perhaps the same corporate partners (1,000+) that comprise the World Economic Forum COVID Action Platform.
June 13 2019: WEF partnered with the UN.
March 11 2020: WEF partners with the WHO (UN agency) to create the COVID Action Platform for Business.
It’s worth mentioning here that Purpose/Avaaz have played key roles in the climate strike / Thunberg campaigns organized/backed by The Climate Group, co-founder of We Mean Business. We Mean Business was created with the assistance of both Purpose and Greenpeace. We Mean Business works at the side of the World Economic Forum. Key people overlap both organizations within this high-level interlocking directorate.
The following is a quote by Avaaz/Purpose co-founder Jeremy Heimans. From his acceptance speech for the Foreign Policy Association Medal at the 2019 World Leadership Forum Dinner Nov 2019:
“If we can put the movements, these movements, like Greta’s movement, these new power forces, in favor of these values of internationalism, together w/ the institutions that we still need – that’s when it happens.”
What’s important to understand is that Greta is no MLK. The movement that she stewards she’s just one of thousands of leaders & I’ve had the opportunity to meet some of them as I’ve traveled around the world, and Purpose works very closely with the climate movement.”
As instruments of empire Avaaz/Purpose specialize in behavioural change and the behavioural economics of hatred.
It is also imperative to acknowledge Purpose partners which include organizations, institutions and corporations at the helm of the dystopian “global reset” desired and designed by the ruling classes:
-Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation -Google -Bloomberg Philanthropies -Unilever -IKEA -WWF (The financialization of nature) -The World Health Organization (UN agency) -United Nations -The Rockefeller Foundation etc. etc.

The fight accelerates for independent journalism – journalists that serve people/planet rather than ruling class, foundations & capital. As an example, all articles/links from my own website, the Art of Annihilation, are no longer allowed to be shared on Facebook.
If you want to see the future of policing, look no further than here, as it is happening today and stands to be ramped up even more…
The software Beware, made by Intrado, scores a suspect’s potential for violence by pouring through billions of data points, including arrest reports, property records, commercial databases, deep web searches, and the person’s social-media postings. Also gathered is information about your vehicle license, the members of your household and your facial identification. From this information, combined with more, a threat score is created and then sent to a real-time crime center, where it is then used to alert police on the ground.
How the private software determines its scoring is kept a company secret. There is no oversight and no information on what metrics and what postings or comments are used in a person’s social media.
Want to know the future of education? Take a look at this poster and whitepaper from Knowledgeworks…. Navigating the Future of Learning-Drivers of Change Poster (from 2018)
NAVIGATING THE FUTURE OF LEARNING EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Navigating the Future of Learning, KnowledgeWorks’ fifth comprehensive forecast on the future of learning, aims to further conversations about ways education institutions and influencers can shape a future where all students can thrive.AN ERA SHIFT A new era is unfolding, one in which people, smart machines and the code that powers them are interacting in new and deepening ways. Over the next decade, exponential advances in digital technologies will require us to redefine our relationships with one another, with our institutions and even with ourselves. Every facet of our lives, including how we teach and learn, will be touched by this new era of partners in code.During this period of transition, education’s role in supporting the healthy development of young people, effective lifelong learning and community vitality will be increasingly crucial. Many of the organizations, institutions and systems that structure our daily lives and support learning are increasingly out of sync with both existing and emerging needs. The new era could exacerbate the current misalignment or inspire new frameworks for how we live, work and learn. Exploring the future of learning today is an act of stewardship to our future communities and to the young people who will live in them.
FIVE DRIVERS OF CHANGE
The exponential advances in digital technologies described above are contributing to a variety of shifts in our daily lives, either directly in the form of disruptive innovations or indirectly in the form of reactions to, or the effects of, rapid advances in technology. Five drivers of change describe key shifts that will shape education over the next decade.
AUTOMATING CHOICES Artificial intelligence and algorithms are automating many aspects of our lives.
CIVIC SUPERPOWERS Engaged citizens and civic organizations are seeking to rebalance power.
ACCELERATING BRAINS People have increasing access to tools and insights that are reshaping our brains in intended and unintended ways.
TOXIC NARRATIVES Outdated and misaligned systems and metrics of success are contributing to chronic health issues, including rising rates of mental illness among children.
REMAKING GEOGRAPHIES Communities are working to remake themselves in the face of deep transitions. KnowledgeWorks.org
Navigating the Future of Learning: Executive Summary | 1 PROVOCATIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF LEARNING As these drivers of change unfold and combine over the next decade, they will present opportunities to imagine new kinds of educational practices, programs, structures and roles. If education institutions and influencers took concerted action to respond to the changing landscape, the following zones of future possibility could support the healthy development of young people, enable effective lifelong learning and contribute to community vitality.Within each of these provocation zones, Navigating the Future of Learning identifies more specific future possibilities illustrating ways the drivers of change might be harnessed. It also identifies signals of change showing how the future possibilities that it describes are beginning to play out today. RESPONDING TO THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE TODAY As the emerging era ushers in ever-greater complexity, education institutions and influencers will need to take action to pursue their preferred futures and to address new or deepening challenges. The areas below represent critical starting points for responding to the changing landscape today.
»Design for Equity – Equity must be an explicit aim and a core design principle of all efforts and reforms. It will often require strategies that focus on specific populations and on individual students’ needs, along with frank and inclusive conversations about how and why inequities in learning persist.
»Prioritize Human Development – As emerging technologies and workforce needs continue to influence many conversations about the future of learning, stakeholders will need to keep learners’ fundamental human needs at the center of their decisions.
»Distinguish between Efficiency and Transformation – Pressure to adjust rapidly and the temptation to mislabel increased efficiency as system transformation are likely to intensify. There will be a role for guides who understand that using new tools to make tasks easier does not necessarily improve student learning and that pursuing major changes often leads to unintended consequences.
SIGNATURE LEARNING ECOSYSTEMS Situate learning in place in ways that integrate technology, culture and learner and community identity to enhance and extend opportunities for learning.
SAFEGUARDS FOR EFFICACY Provide vision and stewardship for implementing effective data strategies and for embracing emerging technologies for intentional learner support.
HUMAN-CENTERED LEARNING Reorient teaching and learning systems, expectations and experiences to put a holistic view of human development at the center.
AMPLIFIED VOICE AND IMPACT Reconfigure engagement and outcome frameworks and communications channels to bolster individual capacity and to increase community impact.
It is a lot like the Global Education Futures 2035 map..which Knowledgworks is affiliated with. Pretty questionable stuff.
Knowledgeworks is one futurist organization; GEF is a global group of futurists. Their goals overlap. I am going to post some of the GEF reports here–which are also supposedly a map of education futures. This is the most recent GEF summary report (from 2014-2017) published 2018
” As Francis Heylighen argues, the observed acceleration of socio-technical change may be seen an indicator of a more fundamental transition towards a new level of civiliza-tion, a meta-system transition towards Global Brain of the society”
“An extrapolation of the corresponding hyperbolic growth model would forecast a singularity around 2040. This can be interpreted as the evolutionary transition to the Global Brain regime.”
pg 45 2016-2025: “On the Sidelines! A significant share of population start losing their professions to automation and are unable to adapt to changing conditions.Gerbil on a Treadmill. Involving socially marginalized people into employment & personal development through alternate reality games.”
Another big data breach and why you should care about this Oracle Blukai leak.
“Have you ever wondered why online ads appear for things that you were just thinking about?
There’s no big conspiracy. Ad tech can be creepily accurate.
Tech giant Oracle is one of a few companies in Silicon Valley that has near-perfected the art of tracking people across the internet. The company has spent a decade and billions of dollars buying startups to build its very own panopticon of users’ web browsing data.
One of those startups, BlueKai, which Oracle bought for a little over $400 million in 2014, is barely known outside marketing circles, but it amassed one of the largest banks of web tracking data outside of the federal government.
BlueKai uses website cookies and other tracking tech to follow you around the web. By knowing which websites you visit and which emails you open, marketers can use this vast amount of tracking data to infer as much about you as possible — your income, education, political views, and interests to name a few — in order to target you with ads that should match your apparent tastes. If you click, the advertisers make money. …for a time, that web tracking data was spilling out onto the open internet because a server was left unsecured and without a password, exposing billions of records for anyone to find.
Security researcher Anurag Sen found the database and reported his finding to Oracle through an intermediary — Roi Carthy, chief executive at cybersecurity firm Hudson Rock and former TechCrunch reporter.
TechCrunch reviewed the data shared by Sen and found names, home addresses, email addresses and other identifiable data in the database. The data also revealed sensitive users’ web browsing activity — from purchases to newsletter unsubscribes.
“There’s really no telling how revealing some of this data can be,” said Bennett Cyphers, a staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told TechCrunch.”
So a video game as a “drug” to fix ADHD… but aren’t there studies that say screen time worsens ADHD?
“It might not look like much of a video game, but Akili Interactive’s EndeavorRX, formerly Project EVO, may go down in history: it’s the first video game that can legally be marketed and prescribed as medicine in the US.
That’s the landmark decision from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is authorizing doctors to prescribe the iPhone and iPad game for kids between ages eight and 12 years old with ADHD, after it underwent seven years of clinical trials that studied over 600 children to figure out whether a game could actually make a difference…”
Whoa. Colorado “One group that is expected to use the “state-of-the-art” facility is the Pahara Institute, which operates a well-known networking group and training program for activists and teachers aligned with the education-reform movement. Hastings heavily funds and serves on the board of the Pahara Institute, which currently hosts its retreats at different locations around the country rather than at a single place. It was Pahara that initially contacted local landowners to buy the acreage before Hastings personally stepped in and decided to do it himself… not everyone has been thrilled about the arrival of construction crews to build a ritzy retreat in the rural, close-knit town of Bailey, a modest bedroom community about an hour southwest of Denver. It is one of the largest construction projects in the history of Park County, which is where the animated show South Park is fictionally set.
“The reaction to this was primarily negative,” recalled John Deagan, who oversaw the permitting process. “Some people just want to stop developments. That’s what the attitude was with this one.”
As is true with some billionaire philanthropy, this is all happening with minimal transparency, too. Park County residents have, until now, been totally in the dark about who exactly was financing the massive development, fueling conspiracy theories about where the money was coming from. Activists even voiced theories like these in government meetings.“
Do you know Pahara? You should. Reed Hastings (Netflix) & Gene Wade (UNow) are on the Board of Directors Pahara-Aspen are building capacity by having all the reformers take this leadership training. It’s a “Who’s Who” and a “How To” in the future of corporate online ed reform. Look at their graduating class from 2014, 2015 and 2016, you will see Susan Patrick from iNACOL, leaders from Walton Foundation, KIPP, Kaufman Foundation, 50CAN, Agile Mind, Jumpstart, TFA, US Dept of Ed, Community Schools, Colleges, State Depts of Ed, Innovation schools… 2014 Pahara-Aspen Grads
Of course, Pahara-Aspen reformer training is on the Gates Gravy Train.

Local county departments of public safety are now asking parents in Minnesota to MAKE A PLAN MN in order to house your children temporarily elsewhere should you the parent come down with the Covid. Here are just two examples from Wright County and Minnesota Prairie Alliance (Dodge, Steele and 1 other).
There’s a lot more to this information. Once this latest CCAP CHILDCARE bill package gets passed over at the legislature, it will set so much in motion.
Here’s another.
So this is a K-12 school sending out letters to families.
And some replies to this post:
In April, Child Care Centers received a letter. Many exceptions were given. Including those for overnight care. I am a child care provider. This is extremely alarming what they are preparing for. It’s important to be aware and avoid this if at all possible. This is letter. There is currently funding as well for COVID that is Child Care related.
This makes no sense
We need more credible information in this area. I saw something similar in LA County but not enough information. No documentation, etc.
I don’t understand why they would even think of breaking up families-unless it’s for Foster children.
Well I saw that in WA. But seems they’re changing the story from allowing a parent who is sick to self-quarantine at home in a designated bedroom with designated bathroom to a new narrative. In the old narrative, kids were allowed in the home. I think that’s what I was trying to express on your post (sorry). But there’s constant flip flop happening.
Here is a post from another friend of mine:
Would anyone care to see the plans for smart cities for UK – I am sure the same will be implemented here also – Let’s see what is interesting ..”The plan is to transform cities into self-learning, self-modulating organisms known as smart cities, which are being designed based on the structure and function of human cells.” “In 2007, the Commonwealth Fund launched the Triple Aim Initiative which represented a range of healthcare organisations in the United States, England, and Sweden, and was later expanded to include more countries. The initiative shifted the focus away from individual healthcare institutions and providers—and their outcomes—to population health.”
◾◾◾◾ Each module will be designed around the essential question, “How do I Interact with and Impact My World?” The format will organize modules by grade level in grades pk-5, and by grade span for grades 6-8 and 9-12.
The essential elements of each of the modules include:
💥A project-based format 💥Best practices in asynchronous lesson design 💥Embedded formative assessments and opportunities for students to check for understanding 💥Standards in two or more content areas, three preferred 💥Opportunities to demonstrate growth in one or more of the Guiding Principles 💥Content that is inclusive of the experiences and multi-cultural backgrounds of students. 💥Considerations in accommodations for special education and English Learners 💥Embedded elements of social/emotional/behavioral learning and trauma-informed practices
I will have to leave education if this comes here. When.
‘when’ is right. They’re finagling with Gist’s contract bc of covid.
I read that. Thank God I’m not in TPS, but as TPS does, everyone follows is true. At least IN Tulsa.
My partner is a high school level alt ed English teacher and we’ve probably got similar concerns. Her contract is secure for the next school year, but who knows after that? And this forced indoctrination will most likely be included in the curriculum. She does have a property inspection/realtor background as well, but this will most likely be another dead end by that time…
Humanities, if taught at all, will be a shell of what they ought to be.
How quaint; the star of Lucifer on their logo , again…. Or, one of the “thousand points of light” bush Sr so cleverly spoke about decades ago. They truly are transparent once you learn the language they use. Its beyond pathetic that each county school system doesn’t tell the Fed’s to get the F out of telling them what to teach their local kids. Heaven forbid each school district take control instead of being lackeys and kissing the boots for papa Fed. All for that Fed grant 💰… Our kids future were sold to the highest bidder.
BTW, they dont say it in their statistics, but according to the criteria to have an ACE (which is a funny way to think about it, it’s an “ace” for THEM) just about everyone has had one. That means just about everyone needs to be treated with trauma informed practices. You know what that means? It means these days that if a child acts out around you it’s thought to be due to the adults in their immediate vicinity. Children apparently no longer push to see where and how consistent the boundaries are any more. No….if a child acts out, even repeatedly, you, as the adult in the situation, have not made the child feel safe enough to act calmly and rationally. 🤦♀️ This is, from what I can tell so far, is what having a trauma informed teacher will do. No boundaries, no consequences. Children need to know what is the right thing and not have their world be so squishy. This is tried and true. Even Dr. Spock knew this.
Great point– even if Dr.Spock was the pioneer of wussyifucation of America’s children. In addition, they must get every person/child possible a mental health diagnosis so when the red flag laws are enforced to prevent the 2nd amend from being exercised. people will be denied based on mental health criteria. That’s why they are so concerned w making sure people receive these services…
so all this removal of stigma around mental health issues is not to help more people but to out them. Exactly right.
and to place everyone on a “personalized” learning track. An IEP, if you will. They want to roll out a special ed model for everyone. That’s how they will harvest everyone’s human capital profile. Since there’s no way to provide a human-teacher-led IEP for every single child, they will argue that a personalized ed-tech solution is the only feasible solution.
We know from years of experience that burden of implementing even simple IEPs isn’t good for anyone in a classroom setting. Mainstreaming so many spec ed kids is to blame. Now what started out, in my humble opinion, as a cost saving measure (few spec ed teachers and more paras who cost less) has dovetailed nicely into this.
it’s calculated and evil.
I believe that more and more every day.
Exactly—- calculated and evil.. They never do anything except to benefit their goal of total control and tyranny. Any soc wor w a bsw can ask the right questions and diagnose any person on this planet w ‘adjustment d/o nos” and you’ll be red flagged for life.

Advancing toward a cashless society.
SPECIAL REPORT
QuikTrip wants exact change, and the contents of your piggy bank, with coins in short supply nationwide
By Andrea Eger Tulsa World 39 min ago
QuikTrip is in the business of selling things Tulsans love — Hotzis, pizza slices, hot dogs and taquitos off of a spinning roller grill — for a little pocket change.
But this summer, the locally based convenience store chain wants to literally buy the change from your pocket.
“Signage is up now, or in the process of going up, notifying customers about the coin shortage,” said Mike Thornbrugh, manager of public and government affairs for Tulsa-based QuikTrip Corp. “If they can, we’re asking that they use exact change to help out or use a debit or credit card or other contactless forms of payment.
“And we are asking people who have extra change to redeem it with us.”
The coin shortage Thornbrugh is referring to is related to disruptions to the supply chain and normal currency circulation patterns because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Last week, the Federal Reserve issued a rationing order, meaning banks will receive far fewer rolls of nickels, dimes, quarters and even pennies. That is having an immediate effect on retailers’ ability to obtain coins for their cash registers.
“In the past few months, coin deposits from depository institutions to the Federal Reserve have declined significantly and the U.S. Mint’s production of coin also decreased due to measures put in place to protect its employees,” stated the Fed’s announcement. “Although the Federal Reserve is confident that the coin inventory issues will resolve once the economy opens more broadly and the coin supply chain returns to normal circulation patterns, we recognize that these measures alone will not be enough to resolve near‐term issues.”
For those without exact change, QuikTrip is offering to place the change owed on QT gift cards, but Thornbrugh hopes the open call for cash exchange of people’s coin stashes will buy them some time.
“I think I’m probably like most people. I collect coins and redeem them at a certain point, so I probably have $50 to $60 worth of coins,” said Thornbrugh. “Don’t bring a wheelbarrow full — let’s use moderation. But we want to be proactive because this potential is out there, and I think you are going to see a lot of places doing things like this. If you can help us, we think it will help out the situation quite a bit.”
Here is a post from the California anti-radical sex ed group:
This is one of the monthly texts I receive from an organization I was directed to through the sex ed curriculum in three of my local school districts and dozens of other districts. Organizations like this not only recruit our youth to become activists through the curriculums in our public schools, they also train them. They are taught how to protest, how to agitate law enforcement and others they target, and they train them on what to do if they get arrested among other activist tactics.
If you do not speak to your children and young adults about your politics and your values, our government funded public education will take it upon themselves to do it for you.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
MTA Explores Use Of Artificial Intelligence To Measure Mask Compliance On Subways
China’s central bank governor, Zhou Xiaochuan met with the UN Secretary General’s Special Advocate on Inclusive Finance for Development (H.M. Queen Maxima of the Netherlands), during her visit to China in November 2014 to discuss China’s experience and lessons in financial inclusion, and the support that China could provide to the UN-led program ( United Nations 2015 ). The Special Advocate met again with Governor Zhou during the World Bank-IMF Spring Meetings in April 2015. The Special Advocate highlighted two goals in particular: finding solutions that can have the widest impact and reaching neglected populations, particularly women. During her trip to China in November 2014, the Special Advocate also met with Alibaba founder and chair Jack Ma, at Alibaba’s corporate headquarters in Hangzhou, where they discussed the potential of online financial services to expand financial inclusion, and enrolled the support of Alibaba, one of the China’s leading private high tech companies into the global initiative.
She met also with Alibaba, Tencent and China Mobile, together, to discuss the unfolding digital landscape in China, where digital finance extends beyond mobile money, and how online financial services are being offered inside China by a growing range of Internet-based providers. After her meeting with the leading edge Chinese ITC firms, the Special Advocate remarked that: “The potential growth of online financial services, targeting especially the excluded and productive segments of society, is enormous. China’s embrace of technology-based finance could be particularly promising for small businesses, which often have limited access to traditional banking. As partnerships emerge between mobile operators, banks, and internet-based companies, the newly blurred lines between what were once distinct businesses point to a broader path to financial access for enterprises” ( United Nations 2015 ).
Jeremy Heimans is Australian – Years ago he created what is called Get Up something like what Americans have used called MeetUp to tell of events etc… Heimans’ Get Up was financed by George Soros – Heimans new organization is called PURPOSE .. PURPOSE is connected to Bill Gates Foundation, United Nations , WHO/ World Health Organization , etc.. … The future belongs to Airbnb and Black Lives Matter, in other words, and the book is a manual for us to learn how to be more like them.
And now look what is being used to change the system – Foolishness will cause us to collapse – Ignorance of being brainwashed – Communism did not end with the fall of the Berlin Wall it was to spread and it is – some communist philosophy believes our country is Atlantis and Eurasia is to own it or destroy it … The game is which will it be totally out of existence or changed ?
some history – In the early 1980s the NYC government decided to go with what is now Vision 2030 it pertained to the water area of Manhattan to develop the green areas – tRump first bid for the project failed and he made another bid for the job which he received .. He could not complete that job and sold … . It is now called Comprehensive Waterfront Plan Vision 2030 … Quote : “Riverside South is an urban development project in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City. It was originated by six civic associations – The Municipal Art Society, Natural Resources Defense Council, The Parks Council, Regional Plan Association, Riverside Park Fund, and Westpride – in partnership with real estate developer Donald Trump. The largely residential complex, located on the site of a former New York Central Railroad yard, includes Trump Place and Riverside Center. The $3 billion project is on 57 acres (23 ha) of land along the Hudson River between 59th Street and 72nd Street. —– Trump sold Riverside South to investors from Hong Kong and mainland China,”

Have any of you wondered why it has to be exactly 6ft. apart in social distancing??? Think about it for a while – Hint could it be this is the only way that tech can ID you ? There is technology which can also ID you with a mask on too..
And yet another post from her:
The BIS report adds to the discussion between the central banks about how to modernize the payments systems for the digital world. An earlier publication from the institution focused on financial stability: More than a dozen countries are either researching, piloting, or, like China, have ongoing work in place for central bank digital currencies. As physical cash becomes less prevalent, consumers are becoming more reliant on commercial intermediaries like banks and fintechs. In a financial panic, consumers may regret not having as much access to physical notes and coins.
Covid is accelerating the demise of cash, highlighting racial inequities in digital payments
Soon doctors and nurses will no longer be needed. Yes doctors and nurses, your jobs are in jeopardy! You better start pushing back now! Technocracy is coming!
“In a collaboration between Google Brain, Intel Corporation and the University of California, Berkeley, researchers have ‘trained’ robots to mimic surgical procedures through the use of instructional videos.
UC Berkeley professors have previously used YouTube videos as a guide for robots to learn various motions such as jumping or dancing, while Google has trained robots to understand depth and motion. The team applied that knowledge to their latest project, Motion2Vec, in which videos of actual surgical procedures are used for instruction. In a recently released research paper, researchers outline how they used YouTube videos to train a two-armed da Vinci robot to insert needles and perform sutures on a cloth device.
The medical team relied on Siamese networks, a deep-learning setup that incorporates two or more networks sharing the same data. The system is optimal for comparing and assessing relationships between datasets. Such networks have been used in the past for facial detection, signature verification and language detection.”
I knew this was coming. I saw China as a testing ground for this and it was just a matter of time before they would bring it here. I didn’t know how they would do it, but Covid-19 ended up being the ticket. If we allow this, we are so fucked!
You’ll become slaves to Technocrats that see you as a number on a ledger, where everything is input-output, data collection, searching, sorting, analyzing, pruning, adjusting, optimizing, fed to AI algorithms, and placed in feed-back loops. You will be part of a digital AI economy where your output value will be measured and marked as “essential” or “non-essential”. You will be managed as useful asset or a non-useful asset. There will be no escaping your matrix. You are about to enter a world of hurt! Welcome to your modern digital feudalism and authoritarian depopulation. Welcome to TECHNOCRACY!
“Sold: 50 million digital health passports “A British cyber security company, VST Enterprises has signed a contract with international digital health technology firm Circle Pass Enterprises (CPE), owner of ‘Covi-Pass’, to supply 50 million of its ‘digital health passports’ to 15 countries. VST was founded by tech entrepreneur Louis-James Davis to integrate its state-of-the-art VCode & VPlatform technologies into the Covi-Pass Digital Health Passport, which will be paired with approved testing kits.
Put simply, the user downloads the app to their smartphone device and uploads his/her key information, such as name, address, age. Their identity is then verified using a biometric fingerprint or facial scan. A COVID-19 test is then carried out by an authorised healthcare professional, nurse or medical doctor. The test is geo-fenced to that location – using GPS, RFID, Wi-Fi or cellular data to set a virtual boundary around a geographical location – and the test results are then scanned from the testing kit into the Covi-Pass Health Passport.
A colour mapping system (green, amber, red) authenticates and provides the COVID-19 test history and relevant health information, so the accurate data metrics can assess those who have tested positive and negative and the location only of their testing. The user can then show the Covi-Pass to authenticate their health status. ‘A traffic light system confirms their health status as either red or green, red for positive and green for negative,’ the company points out. ‘The amber colour indicates a countdown timer to when another test would be due and required. The Covi-Pass can be used as an authenticated gateway for public services, businesses and employees to manage a safe return to work, life, and safe travel. One of the many unique features of the VCode cyber security,’ adds CPE c-founder Adam Palmer, ‘is that the technology can be scanned from up to 100 metres, ensuring its social distancing compliance is robust and making it the only choice for a safe and secure digital health passport.’ Plus, CPE points out, scanning is viable while the person is moving and at various angles.’
We firmly believe that the digital health passport, alongside government approved testing kits, is the key to removing the lockdown restrictions in a gradual and controlled way.
Shipping has begun for the first phased release of these 50 million digital health passports to the private sector and Governments in over 15 countries, including Italy, Portugal, France, Panama, India, the US, Canada, Sweden, Spain, South Africa, Mexico, United Arab Emirates and The Netherlands, the company reports. ‘We firmly believe that the digital health passport, alongside government approved testing kits, is the key to removing the lockdown restrictions in a gradual and controlled way,’ Davis believes.””
Last year my partner had to go onto UC and they said it was online only. He said he didnt have a phone they looked at him blankly and said well you’ll need to get someone to do it for you then or go online or buy a phone. They can give a cash advance to cover it that needs paying back. They didnt give any other options I’m pretty sure if people dont have a phone they will offer a free microchip. I read somewhere theyll be free I’m betting this will be the options. I know this happened last year people were saying online about it but they didnt care unless you access the online account you dont get paid. Thousands were having money stopped they just stopped poeoples money. They put everything under one roof but if you dont go online everything gets stopped. Housing, child benefit, esa, disability and 1000s were starving and committing suicide over it. To me this was the beginning of it
after cashless society they will bring in a credit system where you are scored based on your behaviour. So I think it will work differently. Instead of money itll be that if you are a good citizen you’ll get most points but lose points or credits if you disobey. We probably wont own anything maybe our cash in the bank worthless . Maybe theyll give us credits to the value of what we own but detract them for bad behaviour. Maybe that’s how they take our property. In the UN plan they say it will be more equal so spread assets out. I’d imagine that theyll do it so we all own nothing under the guise of restribubuting wealth to the poor
And some replies to this post:
Under the UN Sustainable Development Goals, they intend on moving people from rural areas to urban smart cities. I’m assuming they can use eminent domain, or rezone territory, classify an area as national or historical park, perhaps burn it down or poison the ground water, or what not. I’m not an authority on land or real-estate laws and management. I just know they intend to take land / property away from land owners. The belief is that people need to be contained in tighter concentrations where there is 5G and can be monitored and controlled better, and that land should go to the very wealthy, held in trust for profit. He who controls all the land and resources has more power than he who prints money!
you’re correct. The way it will work is that they will have everything on a blockchain. The tokens that are generated are just tokens. They can have the appearance of being dollars or the appearance of being credit or bonus points or chips, or stars or cookies or whatever they want It to represent. The tokens will be programmatic. They will be programmable money. If you meet conditions, transactions will take place, but if you don’t meet the conditions, you cannot make a transaction. They can deduct from the blockchain ledger any negative points you accumulate in real-time (thus the high speed 5G). Or, they can punish you and sanction or ration your tokens/credit/cash/points in whatever manner they wish. This is the danger of being registered on a blockchain and then having a cashless society. You become a real slave.
yes sounds about right. I dont know how we fight this. They already use this system in a way. I know people that have had benefits stopped for months if they are 10 minutes late for an appointment. Banks already charge if you bounce a cheque for example. The ID chip and health cert will probably give you access to cash shops ect so without that wont be able to function. Theyll probably issue fines for not obeying or if we cant pay Bill’s as they do now but they maybe hefty as they are now ridiculous fines for leaving the house for example. It wont take long to build up. I think if you leave your house if you test positive its £1000 a day or refuse treatment. This will probably be taken back in the form of your home if you own it. As they do with the elderly now. Buy there house and give them it back by renting it out with an allowance. Many old people fell for this scam. Release the equity in your home… made it sound attractive while taking their homes away from them
They are going to take as much value and wealth from people as much as they can. I strongly believe that they are going to try to reduce the aging population since they consider the old a burden on society. This has been written in their textbooks for ages and they still make mention of it from time to time. Now they are acting on it. They are going to keep the children since the children are the future engineers for their technocracy. Gone are the days of liberal arts, music, history, literature, etc. Instead, they are grooming the kids to be engineers, scientists, technicians, statisticians, etc. for the data-driven technocratic AI surveillance system. I could go on and on, but it be too long. These nutcase transhumanists, are hell bent on reengineering the planet, not just the economics and men. They want to reinvent it all.
How do you think they will do that? We have A LOT of rural dwellers in Maine.
most counties in all the states have some form of “sustainable development goals” that they plan to implement. Your best bet is to find out what your county couselors have in store for the county that will meet the agenda (21) of your county. Every county in the nation have a different program they are following, but they are following it nonetheless. Also, your commerce office will have information regarding plans for “sustainable” “impact” development goals. Thos are all guidelines of WEF and UN agendas.
What is UC?
Universal Credit – benefits system in the U.K.
My gut feeling tells me that Real ID will be a big part of this. You already are limited, kind of like “No mask no entry” from what the rules are now if you don’t have it: i..e no driving, no entering government buildings, no flying, etc. And I’m sure once they make it digital, it’ll go to no voting and no government benefits and other stuff. I even saw something from the National Governor’s Association suggesting that the take the time of the Real ID deadline extension to update the system with modern technology.
I also think that the lifeblood of implementing the Sustainable Development Goals is going to be the public private partnerships (and yes, that WOULD include the Federal Reserve and the other Rotschild central banks in other countries.) These are the main reactor to the SDG Death Star. Take that out and the whole system goes down.
This is all global. No matter where I go or what I do, this global event is going ot be all around us. So I’m just sticking around. I’ll just continue to post what I know about technocracy, transhumanism, 4IR, technology that will be used, etc. I’ve been doing technology for over 30 years as an engineer and have worked on a lot of the tech that is now being employed, so I have a lot of first hand knowledge of this stuff. I never thought it would come to this though. I have no idea how I’m going to make a living, if there is a living to be made. Things are changing rapidly and I’m afraid my services may no longer be needed or I might be considered a liability because I’m not complying or won’t be complying with the draconian measures. So everything is up in the air for me. I might as well dig back to my Army days and fight back as best as I can. The best weapon to use information. The more allies we can get by awaking people with knowledge of the facts, the better our chances of surviving become. But we need to keep informing others and rally together. At some point, we’re going to have to show up on the stage. In person, if we want to enact change.
And another post from him:
This is the President of Ghana. He explains, reading from the Rockefeller Foundations documents, what is coming in the next few months.
He explains that the lockdown measures are going to become more severe. There is going to be 2 to 3 waves of Covid-19 from now till end of year. There is going to be mandatory vaccines. There is going to be rioting and a resistance against the resistance. There is going to be name shaming and prohibition of commerce for anti-masks and anti-vaxxers. Basically, anyone that does not comply with the NWO reset will be deemed a threat to the world and will be blamed for the multiple waves of Covid-19 infections that ensue.
He has a lot more to say. I think it’s worth watching. Take what you can from it.
Here are some links: Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development
INTERESTING HOW 2020 is the year we are beginning to see radical changes – 2021 is when the Fed. Reserve rolls out fast track payment system … Hmmm 2021
The “21” in Agenda 21 refers to the original target year of 2021 where they were hoping to achieve their development goals by then. It has been affirmed and had a few modifications at subsequent UN conferences. Since it found 2021 was an overly optimistic date, its new timeline is targeting 2030. Its aim is to achieve global sustainable development. One major objective of the Agenda 21 initiative is that every local government should draw its own local Agenda 21. Since 2015, Sustainable Development Goals are included in the newer Agenda 2030.[citation needed]
Can it be any clearer? Everything the UN does is for global governance. Lima Agreement, Rio Declaration, Kyoto Protocol, Paris Agreement all designed to destroy capitalist western nations.
U.N. Chief Guterres Calls for One Supreme Body of ‘Global Governance’
The featured image was from 2017. It was featured in an article about the massive technology efforts embedded in the US BECAUSE of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). Those same Goals are why we have Science, Technology, Engineering, (the Arts), and, Math (STEM/STEAM) in not only, education, but EVERYWHERE in the USA.
Here’s an interesting exchange that happened to me at the gym today. I was getting my youngest his own membership since he’s old enough now and the employee told me that they aren’t giving out key fobs for memberships anymore bc they are going “touchless” bc of COVID. They want him to put an app on his phone and scan the barcode that way. I told her he doesn’t take his phone into the gym so she said he can give his phone number to the employees at the desk. I said, “So corporate doesn’t want you to touch a fob and hand it to the customer bc they are afraid of COVID transmission but they are OK with customers talking to you from across the counter? You realize that I touched the pen and keypad and then you touched the pen and keypad, right? Does this make sense to you?” She replied, “I dunno I just know they want us to get customers to go touchless.”
Of course they do. Contact tracing apps, anyone? Leave your phones at home or turn off the COVID apps and Bluetooth when you go out.
A friend of mine shared this on his wall:
My husband pulled this notice off the door at the bank yesterday. “Due to a national coin shortage, the Federal Reserve is rationing coin shipments. Wells Fargo has limited coins available and we encourage customers to deposit rolled coins to assist with this shortage.” Who else thinks this supposed coin shortage will help usher in the digital dollar?
Here is a post that was shared by another friend of mine:
Friends,
This is my latest for The Last American Vagabond. It’s a very important topic. Please read and share.
People around the world are already being judged and denied access to financial services because of their social media data – and they don’t even realize it.
According to a new report from cybersecurity experts Kaspersky, 32 percent of adults between 25 to 34 have had issues getting a mortgage or loan due to their social media activity. The denial of loans comes as part of “social scoring systems” which are being used at an alarming rate by government and businesses to determine customers or citizens “trustworthiness.”
Unfortunately, the survey also found that 67 percent of people are willing to share their profiles to secure online shopping discounts and 52 percent are willing if it means skipping lines at airports and other means of travel. Finally, 51 percent of people said they are fine with government monitoring their social media behavior if it means keeping the public safe. The post-9/11 indoctrination appears to have worked to an astounding degree.
Regardless of one’s politics, this article is important because it is a popular media outlet acknowledging the seriousness of the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset plan. This is not a drill. And the technocratic surveillance state that is being erected without our consent is already profiting from slave labor.
“The purpose of the Great Reset isn’t merely to enact policies that would lead to additional wealth redistribution, but rather to completely overhaul the world’s existing structures and institutions. Among other things, Schwab has said of the Great Reset, “the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions.””
Al Gore has invested 100’s of millions of dollars in fake meat industry and in “green” energy companies, that stand to make him billions of dollars. He and all of the globalists are in a scam so big, you would die if you knew the scope of it. Carbon credits = social credits scores. Yes, and Gore is working with Goldman Sachs in the scheme along with an exchange they created for carbon taxing in Chicago. Oh, that is only the tip of the iceberg!
Given his TN origins I’m sure he is closely linked to Paul Tudor Jones and Corecivic.
Alison right another billionaire. And I had forgotten that Gore was an investor in private prisons. I’m sure he just can’t wait till all of the anti-vaxxers/masks not complying with orders start to fill up his prisons. He’s a fraud if ever there was one.
So it’s a pay-for-success mental behavioral prison program? So there is impact investment on the prisoners individually, as in tokenized metrics and valuation?
OKLAHOMA friends, the Vera Institute project is the model for Oklahoma’s criminal justice reforms. Bloomberg and Kaiser are investment partners (Blue Meridian) and Kaiser is a funder of MDRC, which runs predictive risk analytics on schoolchildren, too.
I’m just blown away by the depths of the conspiracy. They are neck deep into this NWO reset / agenda.
Here is a post from yet another friend of mine:
Remember the invented 4th arm of our government known as BlackRock? Are you aware BlackRock received a bailout ? The national lockdown left states, cities and local businesses in desperate need of federal government aid. But according to David Dayen in The American Prospect, as of May 30 [the Fed’s last monthly report], the only purchases made under the Fed’s new BlackRock-administered SPVs were ETFs, mainly owned by BlackRock itself. Between May 14 and May 20, about $1.58 billion in ETFs were bought through the Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility [SMCCF], of which $746 million or about 47% came from BlackRock ETFs. The Fed continued to buy more ETFs after May 20, and investors piled in behind, resulting in huge inflows into BlackRock’s corporate bond ETFs.
Yep, I was right not to wish any one a Happy New Year – Welcome to the beginning of ” global governance “
Several major US cities to explore Universal Basic Income pilot projects The mayors of Los Angeles, Oakland, Compton, Stockton, California; Atlanta, Georgia; Tacoma, Washington; Newark, New Jersey; Shreveport, Louisana; Jackson, Mississippi; and Saint Paul, Minnesota announced today that they have joined the “Mayors for a Guaranteed Income” program—a coalition for universal basic income. According to the plan, which was devised by Stockton mayor Michael Tubbs, residents will be provided with basic cash payments.

Wow! So he’s working with Jeb Bush and Chiefs for Change! Yikes!
always: this just goes on and on and on
Wow! Expensive for something the district’s can create for themselves.
Shared. I give up, parents putting masks on their children, boasting of accomplishments with Common Core! There is no hope for them or their future. Only saving grace, they won’t know what freedom, rich history, or opportunities they were denied due to lack of parental involvement
Denver Public Schools plans to hold in-person classes five days a week this fall, a departure from earlier plans that called from alternating days of in-person instruction or other part-time scenarios. District officials announced the new plans in a letter to families today. There will be mandatory daily health screenings and masks will be required for students and staff who attend in-person. Read the story below.
Denver Public Schools plans to hold classes in person this fall, joining a number of other metro area districts in a more complete return to the classroom.
The announcement represents a change from an initial plan that called for separating students into cohorts and having them attend on alternating days or weeks to keep class sizes small. State public health rules still limit schools to no more than 10 people in any given classroom, but Gov. Jared Polis has said repeatedly that he expects those rules to be loosened by August, when class resumes.
Denver Superintendent Susana Cordova announced the change in plans in an email to parents Friday. She said evolving public health information and parent demand drove the decision.
“Every week, we learn more from our health experts about the COVID-19 virus,” Cordova wrote. “We learn from school systems around the world how to keep our students and staff learning, working and healthy. We’ve considered the overall effects of having schools open at full strength for our students and families, something that we have heard is critically important to our community.”
New guidance from metro area public health agencies emphasizes that children do not seem to play a major role in transmission.
The district will also offer a full-time online option for all grades for families who do not want to send their children to school.
And some replies to this post:
Masks, what the hell? Haven’t they kept up on the research regarding masks? Wait until Thanksgiving rolls around and the kids all have breathing problems. This is one of the stupidest things I have heard. As a teacher, I would quit!! As a parent, I would be applying for my non-profit status and start a private school
It’s interesting to hear the different perspectives on in-person school. I’ve spoken to many parents, tending to be conservative leaning, that won’t send their child to school due masks being unhealthy. I’ve heard from more liberal leaning that they won’t send their kid to school in a mask & partitions because it’s too military and/or fear of the virus. Many parents are opting for Homeschool (not remote) – some for fear of COVID, but mostly if SB163 is signed into law. All of these reasons above (and more) it will be interesting how many students actually will be in class. I think the per pupil funding the state is counting on is extremely underestimated. There is no way my kids are wearing a mask 7.5 hours a day. It is essential for kids to see expressions and the teachers mouth move, especially young learners. Plus the multiple screenings & tracking, over-sanitation, no PE, lunch in the classroom, and etc. Yuck.
i find it interesting there is such a stink about masks and pare ts not sending back yet there was next to nothing when it came to common core and the invalid assessments wth.
And yet another post from her:
Replacing end of year tests like PARCC,SBAC, SAT, /ACT with online formative, & hidden data collecting tests like NWEA MAPs or iREADY is not better. You cannot see the data streams (every keystroke) cannot opt out.
As Nancy Bailey says, “There’s social-emotional data, academic data, demographic data, and more.
It’s critical to understand the threat of competency or performance-based testing and challenge the new assessment. If not, students will be reduced to data points, and used for investment schemes. Schooling will become all about profit-making.”
And the post that she quoted:
Do not become complacent. Standardized testing is morphing into online embedded competency-testing. Watch for it.
Covid sets up conditions that are just too perfect for human capital speculators.
If you saw how Common Core ruined education, you’ll recognize the similarities with the program listed below.
Notice that the way “to protect” vulnerable children is actually TO SURVEIL THEM and create comprehensive digital records of them. 👉This is INVENTORY CONTROL.
The role of technology is critical in this endeavor, as we begin to define what the “new normal” looks like, creating a society with limited physical interaction and movement to carry on the business that needs to be done: working the children’s cases so they can be returned to a family. The pandemic has highlighted the need for governments to have a centralized system that collects accurate digital records. With Children First Software (CFS), the government child welfare institution can continue their work remotely in a safe and secure way, collaborating with colleagues and NGOs across the country. With this understanding, the BEB development team remains focused and productive while working from home during these uncertain times, continuing to enhance CFS.
In another milestone for BEB, our first mobile application, Profile Mobile, is ready for use! This mobile app works “offline”, allowing countries to visit children’s homes in remote locations without internet or cellular service to conduct a simple census and identify all children living there. Once the user returns to an area with internet access, the information of these children will be uploaded to CFS, creating a digital record for the child. This enables the government to obtain a more accurate understanding of the vulnerable children population living outside of family care. This digital record in CFS provides increased visibility to designated government supervisors, making it easier to ensure the child is receiving the appropriate care and their case might be completed more expeditiously.

Hats off to the Washington State parents who collected enough signatures to place a referendum on the ballot to repeal “Comprehensive Sexuality Education” (CSE) legislation that was signed into law earlier this year.
MIP’s counterpart in WA, Informed Parents of Washington was very instrumental, along with others, in gathering the required signatures. See what a difference engaged parents can make?!
“Elementary age children do not need to learn about masturbation. Teens should not be told that the pull-out method is more effective than they think. Kids should not be taught that sexting is as innocent as watching a movie together, and schools should not be suggesting co-bathing as an alternative [to sexual intercourse].”
Here is a post from the California anti-radical sex ed group:
Right under your/Our noses Our Children are being poisoned and brain washed…BrainPOP is a Leftist Liberal Organization and Application on Your Smart Phone or Computer…which was an extended learning tool advised by School’s to help teach children at home. My own Daughter HAD (past tense) it on her tablet which is how I found out about it just yesterday.
I opened an email from BrainPOP regarding the “Protests” and teaching your Children about “Black Lives Matter Movement.” And now today there is another one regarding the Legacy of the LGBTQA and “How Children can become Allies to the LGBTQA + Peers”
I discovered they are based out of New York, NY which was not a surprise. During the BLM video they told lies as truth in a Animated documentary. Said Blacks had twice the chance of getting killed by police than whites. Said the Protests have been Overwhelmingly Peaceful and the news has been only reporting the bad stuff Said We live in Structural Racism with a built in system which makes it easier for whites than Blacks Portrayed George Floyd who was “Murdered” by the Police as a Family Man Made no mention of Family when they reveal Blacks are 60% more likely to end up in Prison; Attributing it to the “Structural Racism” which is Oppressing Blacks
This is Pure Evil…and Spreading these Socialist Ideals onto our Children when their minds are the most able and willing to learn
And some replies to this post:
This app was assigned every other day for my 2nd grader during distance learning. I made sure to listen in on some of the videos, I did notice bias in some of the historical figures/biographies. We need to be vigilant of all of the assigned and recommended educational programs.
it’s disappointing that it is not left up to parents to decide if and when they deem certain topics appropriate for their own children. I can’t even let my kids watch Nickelodeon, Noggin, or Disney without being in the same room. I never even considered myself an over-protective parent until media and schools began not giving us the choice to filter messages to our own kids.
you are being exactly the parent that God asks you to be. I was welcoming people at a parenting class at a conference and this is exactly what the teacher said to do. Deuteronomy 6.
wow 2nd grader is WAY too young. No wonder the youngsters want to topple our founding fathers’ statues too.
What’s also alarming about Disney and HBO and them is that Disney is now flagging older movies like Lady and the Tramp with warning saying that some of the content in there might be “old fashioned” or “outdated” and HBO is already pulling stuff like Gone with the Wind.
My sons public school would assign this app during distant learning thank god that was our last year in public school
yes I’ve seen that on Disney+. I never realized we would ever see a time like this.
What’s really alarming is that, and I talked to a computer DVD repair guy last year, and my DVD player was having issues and he said that they don’t really make them good anymore as they plan to phase them out someday in the future and replace them with stuff like streaming. Without VHS, BlueRay, or DVDs, it would be far too easy for Disney, Amazon, Netflix, HBO, etc to “disappear” stuff that was un-PC and move us closer to Orwell’s world of Big Brother with history and material constantly being replaced.
yes my husband works for an entertainment company so he has long been saying that that streaming will become the norm for everyone eventually. So much easier to control us then. I don’t know how so much of media and entertainment is a monopoly by companies that are anything but wholesome.
Disney owns over 1/3 of the market and Comcast now owns both Universal and Dreamworks. There really IS a small group of companies owning most of the pie.
I sure don’t need Tim and Moby teaching my kid about these issues. He’s 7 and has no clue what racism is beyond the basics. Brainpop has overstepped their boundaries here. Especially with sexuality matters.
Wow! Our private school used this during distance learning and my son loved it. Crazy. Thanks for the heads up.
This is Critical Race Theory (CRT) tailored to plant seeds of hate in trusting children. Want to learn how CRT causes racism just watch this eye opening interview. https://youtu.be/FwyJk1G_Dm0
Talk Show Host Shannon Joy from NY mentioned how she came across this being shown in schools near her. She said tht you had to go in and see it and that they really wouldn’t let the parents check it out (big red flag): http://www.notracistmovie.com
Wow, I know I shouldn’t be shocked, but thank you. My son had this on his laptop and used it once or twice, I will be deleting it immediately and letting them know why.
They also collect a TON of data. Read their terms of service. Yikes
I stopped using brain pop last year when they added a lesson glorifying Harvey Milk. Total liberal trash and indoctrination site.
Oh my goodness! Seriously?? We get this app through our charter school. I definitely will not be using it now. Unbelievable!
How long until people realize they children and teens don’t need smart phones. They need a desktop, in the living room, with limited time to get their homework done. That’s it.
In my opinion, children do not need a smart phone. Teens need monitored. Phones are now used in the classroom for interactive games and activities, like Quizlet. It is important to be aware what your teen does and to have constant discussions as needed. These ideas and agendas are not going away. Students need to be prepared.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
The oligarchs and tech-billionaires are forcing authoritative Technocracy on us whether we like it or not, using the cover of Covid-19. This is what the New World Order looks like. This is what “The Great Reset” is ushering in. The oligarchs are finally getting their way, as outlined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the World Economic Forum Covid-19 Action Plan. According to these people, there is no going back to “normal”.
Soon, it will be required to be masked, vaccinated, IDed and do business with a cashless government wallet. Every human and property, will be registered on a blockchain and each person will have a social credit score attached in real-time, with the assistance of AI, that will determine if you are a “trustworthy” global citizen. Depending on your score or “traffic light color”, you may not be allowed to travel, or buy food, or buy goods, or not receive services, medical attention, or rent an apartment or buy a home or car. If you complain against the government, your score can drop precipitously, and forbid you entry to schools, theaters, shopping malls, taxis, hospitals, etc.
This is what you call population control and behavior modification.
This is an oligarchs wet dream come true. There is no going back to “normal” until the oligarchs are removed from power.
“Visitors and staff at Jersey city’s municipal buildings will soon be greeted with a camera and thermometer.

Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING‼️
🔥❌ How to Make Condoms Fun and Pleasurable ❌🔥
This title is from:
A. An article on a porn site B. A book sold at an adult book store C. Sex education curriculum being taught in MA schools
If you answered A or B, you are wrong. The answer is C.
This is a lesson from Module 11 of the Comprehensive Sexuality Education Curriculum, Making Proud Choices. MPC is taught in classrooms across the Commonwealth. It might even be taught in your child’s school.
Here are some of the ideas that teachers are encouraged to mention to the kids for making sex with condoms fun:
📌 Make putting on the condom a part of foreplay. 📌 Think up a sexual fantasy using condoms. 📌 Act sexy/sensual while putting on the condom. 📌 Hide a condom on your body and ask your partner to find it. 📌 Use extra lubrication inside and outside the condom. 📌 Experiment with different colors, types and textures of condoms. 📌 Have a sense of humor and make jokes. 📌 Tell your partner that using a condom can make an erection last longer.
It’s interesting to note that the word “pleasurable” is mentioned six times in this very short lesson. Not surprising, given the fact that the proponents of CSE believe in sexual rights for kids and that youth have a right to sexual pleasure.
The facilitator’s notes encourage teachers to “emphasize strategies for making condom use more pleasurable.” And then says, “Emphasize that you are not endorsing sexual activity among teenagers.” 😳🧐🤔
So when I tell my kids not to do something that could have negative consequences for them and that they are not old enough or mature enough to handle or participate in, I always follow up my directives with a list of ways that they can actually DO the very thing that I am telling them NOT TO DO and I make sure that I suggest lots of ways they can have FUN doing the thing that I told them not to do (sarcasm). 🤦♀️🤨❓
The lesson ends by suggesting that the teacher encourage the kids to do something positive and fun together with their sex partner like go to the clinic or store together and buy lots of different brands and colors of condoms and then plan a special day where they can experiment together, adding, “Just talking about how you’ll use all of those condoms can be a turn-on.” ❌❌❌
This is not sex education. This is grooming.
❌🔥 STOP CSE 🔥❌
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
Stanford is working to build mRNA transistors / computers inside living cells. R. Brad Lane is at Stanford on special assignment. Look up Ridge Lane, LP. This is dirty, dirty business. The American way.
VALUATION ANALYST “He founded Lane Financial Corporation, a multi-family office for high-net-worth individuals where he oversaw the firm’s wealth management platform as Chief Investment Officer and served as Managing Director of Atlas Capital, the $12 billion investment advisor where he led the origination of private equity investments in Technology, Education, Healthcare, as well as Real Estate, and was co-head of Capital Markets where he was responsible for raising external capital for follow-on financings of portfolio companies. Mr. Lane serves or has served as a Member of the Board of Directors of Big Brothers Big Sisters, Mount Sinai Medical Center, The David Lynch Foundation, and as Chairman of the New York Forum. He actively advises ranking officials from the United States Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Transportation and Education. Mr. Lane is a Chartered Financial Analyst, a Certified Merger & Acquisition Advisor, and a Chartered Valuation Analyst.”
“With about nine in ten school children around the world at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, the United Nations’ scandal-plagued “education” agency wants to make sure the indoctrination continues uninterrupted”
Alex Newman is dedicated, however if you want to wake parents up its time to do some mud slinging – soft ball style. The year, 1984, UNESCO put their official stamp on J.C. Pauvert’s ‘Guide to the Application of the Notion of Common Core’ “It can easily be shown that all subjects, indiscriminately, can lend themselves to a vast range of different cognitive interventions if the way they are dealt with is deliberately slanted in preferential directions.” [A Methodological Guide to the Application of the Notion of Common Core in the Training of Various Categories of Educational Personnel by J. C. Pauvert] AKA subtle indoctrination – slant information in “preferential directions”
Could you send me that document if you have it? Also, we touched on some of that here:
Is this the same thing you’re talking about? That globalized education regime will include globalized standards under the guise of having a “Common Core” for all children everywhere. UNESCO’s use of that very term goes back nearly four decades. In 1984, the same year President Ronald Reagan ended U.S. participation in the agency, UNESCO released a document entitled “A Methodological Guide to the Application of the Notion of Common Core in the Training of Various Categories of Educational Personnel.” It was aimed at training educators worldwide with the same standards, so they could fan out across the globe with the same ideas. A 2011 document about the UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning also uses the term Common Core, again in relation to training education chiefs worldwide. Socialist and humanist John Dewey used a similar strategy — seize control of teachers’ colleges — to successfully hijack American education. It was extremely effective.
Names you need to know – Portland State Univ. is familiar with Rosalyn McKeown who provided not only a toolkit in understanding Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), but openly expressed UNESCOs intent on erasing exceptionalism (in schooling and economy)……. [ Authors noted: Kim Smith, Debra Rowe, Peter Adriance, Rosalyn McKeown, Victor Nolet, and Madison Vorva, members of the US Delegation to the UNESCO World Conference on ESD.] “Generally, more highly educated people, who have higher incomes, consume more resources than poorly educated people, who tend to have lower incomes. In this case, more education increases the threat to sustainability (McKeown, PhD. Education for Sustainable Development Toolkit)
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
This excerpt is from a study sponsored by The Future Worlds Centre, which is a partner organization of Global Education Futures (GEF). This is some serious stuff, folks. They are assessing how parents perceive and respond to their children’s internet activity, specifically web-based gaming. This is important because GEF, the billionaires, and the hedge funds have been planning to connect every human being – especially youth – to a screen to harvest data. Sound twisted? It is! But it’s here. Coincidence that everyone is working, learning, practicing on a screen? Not at all. … InetRisks
InetRisks was funded under the Research Promotion Foundation’s Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Innovation – Desmi 2008. The project was coordinated by the Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute, Cyprus and was carried out in collaboration with partners from Cyprus and Greece.
The very difference between real Internet-related risks and Internet-related risks as perceived by adults (parents) could constitute a new type of risk in itself. There is a similar difference between the means to deal with these risks and the means to deal with these risks as perceived by adults (parents). ⚠The conception adults (parents) have on what (their) children do when they “play” (spend time) on the Internet is largely based on ignorance; ⚠certainly experiential ignorance in that they have not “played” (spent time) on such activities themselves and often ‘literate ignorance’ in that they have not studied the matter. ⚠Media and church hype add insult to injury. ⚠Furthermore, there is a difference between the real attitude of adults (parents) towards their children (in general, and with respect to their children’s activities on the Internet) and their self-perceived attitude. ⚠There is a further difference between their real attitudes and the results of their behavior. The project studied the attitude of such adults towards the fact that their children immerse themselves into video games (Second Life in particular). Specifically, the project team studied the change in attitudes of the adults regarding the activities of their children and the ⚠risks related before and after they had an opportunity to “play” along with their children for several months. The project addressed Internet safety issues with the aim to achieve an ⚠in-depth understanding regarding safety breaches and protective measures and actions, primarily within the family environment. For this purpose, a limited section of the Online Virtual Environment, ⚠Second Life, was customized to host study teams who were playing on the Internet and were ⚠“exposed” to real risks in a controlled way. Project participants developed ⚠skills in recognizing safety pitfalls and dealing with them as well as ⚠appreciated Internet Risks in their true dimension.
Just in case you are not aware massive pressure is placed on the housing market – Know what this means? Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase have dropped the home equity credit lines…. In simple plain English many are going to default on their payments . Why give you a line of credit on your home, when many are going to default anyway.This way, the bank can save money by not lending it to you, and they get the house to boot. 7% of current mortgage holders cannot make a payment, and over 30 million Americans have become unemployed in the last six weeks… End of the American dream …
I had been telling people for a while about the toll booths pushing stuff like digital passes to “nudge” people by charging them more for cash. Now, I’ve found that, in some places, they’re already STOPPING cash altogether.
“Free” money isn’t free. “If approved, the ABC Act would provide every American with a BOOST debit card that is preloaded with $2,000. The card would be reloaded with $1,000 each month until one year after the end of the COVID-19 crisis.”
Uh-Oh. Republicans introducing a “balanced” Covid privacy bill… Any time I hear the word “balance” with personal data collection, makes me nervous. Any Covid or health related tracking database must be voluntary, with consent, and no loss of services or discrimination for those who do not opt in.
Likely a big fat happy family of billionaires and stakeholders (congress) in conjunction with google and Michael Bloomberg who is now tasked with contact tracing in NY. And all through Bill Clinton CGI who is asking Governors pacts (7 midwestern states led by Inslee) and (7 states consortium led by Cuomo) of Governors to lobby Congress. CGI has already begun hiring people. 30 for every 1000.
They want people who are out of work to work for this?!
Lay people as contact tracers – AKA data collectors!
And yet another post from her:
Another app to prevent cheating… “It’s talking about how it wants to access my computer, my microphone, the webcam. Monitor what’s in the room around me, scan my room. It wants to scan my ID!” he said in an interview. When his professor said he had no option to take the test in person, he opted instead to drop the class. “It’s just a huge step backward,” Buettner said. “Everyone’s giving up their freedom just for the virus.” (Proctorio app)
Must download an app, agree to measuring your biometrics, keystrokes, facial recognition, remote access to your computer? Ummm #no.
“The syllabus instructed Hayes and his classmates to sign up for Examity, an online test-proctoring service.
To create his account, Hayes was required to upload a picture of his photo ID to Examity’s website and provide his full name, email, and phone number — pretty banal stuff. But it got weirder. At the end, he typed his name again; Examity would store a biometric template of his keystrokes…
A month later, Hayes was preparing to take his first practice exam, with an Examity proctor watching him over Zoom. Hayes didn’t want to download Zoom — he’d heard about its laundry list of security concerns — but it was required to take his midterm.
Sharath told Hayes to share his screen, and then to display both sides of his driver’s license in the webcam’s view. “I need to see your desk and workspace,” the proctor said. “Please rotate your webcam 360 degrees so I can see the area around you.” Hayes complied. “Please take a step back and show me the entire desk,” the proctor instructed. Again, Hayes obeyed. Finally, Hayes was instructed to grant the proctor remote access to his computer. “Please open your system preferences and click on the lock icon,” the proctor said monotonically. “Please enter your computer password. Perfect. Thank you.”
This SO MUCH THIS. Covid online learning is disrupting kids’ lives in so many ways. “Sydney Goins cries when she goes on walks.
The college senior lost her dining hall job at the University of Georgia after classes were moved online in March because of the coronavirus outbreak. She delayed graduating and has already dropped one class. Facing an uncertain job market, she hopes to return to campus — and her dining hall gig — in the fall. Paying rent and caring for her nearly 90-year-old grandmother (who lives in assisted living) are all at the top of her mind right now — the last thing she worries about is school.
“I have no motivation,” Goins told Teen Vogue. “I don’t have in-person professors or classmates to motivate me, just myself, and I’m depressed….” “Without teachers and friends around, Owen Midgette, a senior at Matthew Fontaine Maury High School in Virginia, says he’s less motivated to do schoolwork. The lack of a structured routine has jumbled his schedule. He feels like “every day is somehow a school-related day,” and there’s always an assignment looming in the back of his mind. When he’s not consumed with school, he worries about losing his friends.
“At school, I was constantly surrounded by my friends in classes or at lunch, but now the only way I can communicate with them is digitally,” he told Teen Vogue. “There are a few people I never had the chance to get contact information from, so now I have no way of checking up on them.”
Students and teachers fearing for each other’s well-being is another tenet of the coronavirus zeitgeist. About 15,000 high school students in Los Angeles aren’t even logging online for classes. Wong, the New York City math teacher, says some of his best students went completely AWOL…”
My son dropped out of high school during the stay at home crisis…… 😫
I’m so sorry [name redacted]. I know other high school students in this boat. It’s so sad.
I am totally there with you! Even my introverted college students are cracking…..
So many kids are falling apart. Their futures are upside down, unknown. My kids have not left the house, let alone their $@@! Zoom screens for weeks. They don’t know what day it is, it feels like an endless stream of online assignments and meetings and homework. Can’t go anywhere or see friends… and no guarantee it will get better. Online college just doesnt have the same appeal. Why bother.
I do not like where this is going and where they are allowing this to go. They are breaking the kids down. We as parents can’t let this happen.
I’m in NY. I have a freshman in college. Upheaval to say the least. Missing campus and friends and working on campus. Understatement. I have two grandkids I’m distant learning and adapting to meet their needs. My time schedule for them to thrive. My rules now. Thriving they are. More outdoor freedom, exercise, hikes, play to handle four walls closing in and excessive screen time overloads. No one is going to force me or them to melt down. Coping with quarantine is not allowing your family to be constrained or defeated.
In NY? They’ve closed a bunch of the state parks and regular parks in IL and are reopening SOME of them now (others are staying closed till June.) I can’t imagine NY being any better than IL with Comrade Cuomo at the helm.
Truly sooooo devastating for all, except maybe big tech. Teachers cry, kids cry, parents cry, parents who teach cry a lot. I ha SERIOUS concerns about the social emotional learning. You quit disciplining kids (for self-regulation), you start “personalized learning” (meaning take the personal teacher out of the equation, and then build “families” in school (I’m all about hugging kids, telling them how important they are) and although we would like to think our students are like family (we love them like our own) AND then you pull a COVID and kids suddenlly feel like they lost their family (because that’s what schools are convincing they are). You can only imagine what losing an entire family feels like with a mind that’s not old enough to drive, vote, or drink and you expect them to be fine. ADULTS AREN’T fine no way to expect kids to be fine! The kids that I know whose parents did not let them use any remote learning are fairing much better. As an educator I believe it’s completely reasonable to just let kids be kids. And is Home Depot and Walmart can open we can certainly figure out graduation. Much love to you all!
The kids who are stuck are high school kids, especially seniors with only 2 months left of school. When this started, most thought shut down would be two weeks. So, they agree to two weeks of Zoom or GoogleMeet or whatever because seemed less disruptive…to finish out the year for graduation. And geting admitted to college. Then the states decide to close school buildings all year. Some schools decided kids’ well being during this turmoil and chaos was more important, some schools doubled down with all day Zoom. It’s too much but now with two weeks left, gotta stick it out.
What my husband and I are noticing is that kids who have enough graduation requirements are dropping whatever is not neccesary, ie. electives, advanced, honors or other classes. For some, that might be the bigger part of their senior year schedule.
Many states go into June with school, 2nd or 3rd week.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
What will “no excuses” look like for dissidents in a covid-charter city? Think about KIPP’s earn your desk policy.
I think KIPP was set up to start to roboticize people for the transhumanism shift. “Basically they would come in and they [the children] wouldn’t have desks at first, so they would sit on the floor and that’s how they would have class at first and then they were teaching how to SLANT, how to track the teacher and making sure that they keep their eyes on the teacher. It was conditioning I would say, so that was the main thing that they basically did–and setting them up for their homework, so how to have homework so that they would get homework for every subject and the teacher would have to come in with a checklist for every child and just mark off that they did the homework and they would have to have specific periods and capitalized letters. There isn’t really room for error, so it took away the fun, just really making mistakes and learning from your mistakes. It was more like trying to teach them to be perfectionists at the beginning.”
I fear sociopathic impact investors will run our cities like KIPP charter schools, using public health to justify digital control.
Remember what I said about geo-fencing and digital rights and borders and immigration last week? “Stanford economist Paul Romer has proposed an intriguing concept: the “charter city.” A charter city is a newly created city governed by a country other than the one within whose borders it exists. Its residents would remain citizens of the home country.”
here’s an excerpt from a piece of legislation developed by TU social engineers (though it’s attributed to students) that focuses on mental health, learning ecosystems, marijuana as a substitute for opioids (Lumina Foundation!), charter schools, and CHINA: “As an effort to expand and diversify Oklahoma’s economy in the global market, Oklahoma elected officials, the business community and universities commit to the following to improve trade with China: a. Support the lowering of tariffs by both the USA and China. b. Lower the US corporate tax rates. c. Increasing US tax rate on US companies that outsource work to other countries. d. Increase cross-cultural interactions specifically with Chinese government, businesses and universities.”
It will happen in an Opportunity Zone!
That’s the HUD – CAP Tulsa – Promise Neighborhood!
The ‘City’ of London springs to mind, the Vatican too, no thanks I like the good old fashioned city
I can see the IU’s being the charter city boundaries in PA.
Microsoft blockchain patent of providing a task to an individual – loaning of collective areas as human resource to fulfill financial obligations – financial resource exchange between companies/countries. The hyper real economy, based on forced human labour hooked up on surveillance. The insanity of all this just keeps getting worse.
Yes – microfinance + gig economy regulated by AI beholden to DAOs. We are entering the borg for sure.
This sounds almost like the whole premise of how the One Belt Road is built. China controls the zones that the Belt runs through and in return, the hosting nation gets favors and perks from China. I’m assuming this might have been a test bed for the charter city. This is fascinating. Are we becoming like China and or is China buying us? And, is this a way of stitching together a one world government?
Intermittent testing of various tactics in separate regions. Technocrats do not think in terms of political/national boundaries. Only the public does. Which is why politics is an easy distraction to keep the masses entertained/entrained, as they’re going about their business as usual.
and that is why they are dangerous. The think in terms of system optimization and not in terms of individual rights and liberties. Technocracy is gong to be the human races’ failure.
i wonder if these are also related somehow to downstream trust funds/ Econ Diversification Trust Funds, like those in West Virginia, Alaska, Utah, etc. I’m not clear on how these might be connected, but I have a sense that there’s something there.
Individual liberty exists under quite a strict and trained paradigm if we really look at it. And largely it rests, and is mistaken for, more consumption, rather than playing an active part in society’s upkeep. That’s the most dangerous psychological game that has been played. Liberty immediately translates to ‘what I want to have’ instead of an exchange. This is the sliver where the negotiation happens between individuals by religion, by state, as well as by the technocracy. They are always the primary providers. And individuals and their liberty is always dependent.
They can create coalition of cities to be governed in regionalism and target specifically remote indigenous practices such as Inuit throat singing to be transformed into Scratch computer code. A big theme is use of computer jargon “power-on” etc. that reminds me of new lingo that you think is cool because nobody understands the nuances. Minute 2:30
“The leadership team sets value for all stakeholders by requiring their input and constant evaluation of the organization.For example, community members helped to create standards. “We want our kids to enjoy what they are learning while hey are learning, and to have a good humor in life,” said a Tatitlek Elder attending OTE meetings. These words are clearly reflected in CSD standards P/S Level 2.5 Demonstrates responsible use of humor.”
This is my first time hearing about charter cities. This might explain why Bill Gates and others like Musk, and even GW Bush have bought large swaths of land in order to build cities. Smart cities or Charter Cities? I’m not familiar with much of this. I do know that the One Belt Road has used their influence to build up on foreign nations in return for economic and technological favors. Is this part of being a charter city? Where land is bought / sold ot foreign entities for trade? I’m not well adept at this. I find this interesting and alarming. This is, in my mind, weaving a one world government.
Looks like they have Refugee Cities too. (I found that out while searching Charter Cities Institute to see if I could find funders or partners. I found a conference and found someone who was a speaker from Refugee Cities. https://refugeecities.org
I think the plan is to trap refugees and make them code the AR/VR world for free/cost of room and food.
Romer is a Chicago boy…goal, use digital health status to fence targeted people into improvement zones. “He is currently a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a non-resident scholar at Macdonald-Laurier Institute in Ottawa, Ontario. In 2002, he received the Recktenwald Prize for his work on the role of ideas in sustainable economic growth. Paul earned a B.S. in mathematics from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago after completing graduate work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Queens University.”
It is no coincidence that Romer gave a TED talk proposing this in 2009 – the year after the crash and two years after Judith Rodin / Rockefeller set up GIIN.
Paul Romer is in on education policy in Singapore. “Paul has made numerous contributions to public policy, including writing an opinion for the United States Justice Department on the Microsoft Antitrust ruling, serving on the Singaporean Prime Minister’s Independent Academic Advisory Panel on University Policy, and consulting for a host of other governments and legislators on policy initiatives tied to education, urbanization, science, technology, and innovation.”
Moving beyond real estate tax breaks and the Reagan-Bush-Clinton pro-market cage of tax-incentive-based urban policy to more insidious. Always the Nobel or Congressional Medal of Freedom winners who create plenty of trouble with Romer’s endogenous growth theory of human capital and intellectual property rights. It is Hegelian dialect with Romer, geocentric model or heliocentric models that he wants to dispense with. Basically, he establishing a new order thinking in regards to scientific thought to be pushed in harmony with the economic zones. First define the parameters of acceptable thought and proceed with unchallenged science to rule over the smart cities. I’d imagine a purge in all sectors beyond scientists and now teachers. We are now seeing in our governor this thought path. We are trading Hegelian dialect for an authoritative top-down approach based on impact investing. No need to solicit input when centralized powers make all decisions. Romer’s views…
I’m sure it will all run on Blockchain with weighted algorithms running in the background.
Honestly I feel like NYU Tandon is a major player in all of this.
COG’s exist in CT; this must be another level. Thanks. Telling after our Govenors established the COVID Corridor..🤔
And yet another post from her:
Ok – second map of the day. This one features two Event 201 participants from Singapore and Australia. The two countries are linked through their adoption of the TraceTogether app. Both are involved in digital government transformation, including cashless benefits, blockchain, and IoT. Interactive version here.
I have been logging a ton of stuff in Littlesis lately. This is an analysis I did of the content of the 8.5 minute video Google prepared in 2016. Related topics are color coded. Google’s business interests at the bottom in black. It seems that they may be advancing some sort of new digital evolutionary approach to transhumanism. It is pretty unsettling. I’ll post the video link again below. Curious what you think. Interactive version here
Raise of hands- who thinks a “public-private technology testing accelerator” backed by the Rockefeller Foundation (the “philanthropy” that launched the field of “big data” global impact investing) is a good idea? Anyone? Anyone? Bottom of page 2.
I’m sorry, but why in the world would we need to test 30 million people per week? This is totally bonkers. “Our National Covid-19 Testing Action Plan lays out the precise steps necessary to enact robust testing, tracing, and coordination to more safely reopen our economy – starting with a dramatic expansion of testing from 1 million tests per week to initially 3 million per week and then 30 million per week, backed by an Emergency Network for Covid-19 Testing to coordinate and underwrite the testing market, a public private testing technology accelerator, and a national initiative to rapidly expand and optimize the use of U.S., university, and local lab capacity. The plan also includes: launching a Covid Community Healthcare Corps so every American can easily get tested with privacy-centric contact tracing; a testing data commons and digital platform to track Covid-19 statuses, resources, and effective treatment protocols across states and be a clearinghouse for data on new technologies; and a Pandemic Testing Board, in line with other recommendations, to bridge divides across governmental jurisdictions and professional fields.”
The Rockefeller Foundation sponsored and then covered up the horrific behavior of Dr. Cornelius Rhoads – who wrote of killing his Puerto Rican patients and injecting them with cancer. Know your d*mn history people. There are NOT benevolent actors in this game. They want your DNA and they want to link it to an interoperable system.
My concern is the larger program to use IoT in PFS deals linked to social determinants of health. Hook folks with comorbidities to IoT to sensors and surveil them for global finance under the pretense of remedying long term environmental racism and trauma.
And some replies to this post:
I don’t know what’s true BUT I have wondered a couple things… whether something other than covid is killing people of color in “hotspots”… I also read a story about a woman who lost her husband to covid – he was lucid, telling his wife not to worry, then they put him in an induced coma in order to ventilate him… and then he died. 😦 Now we are learning the high percentage of people who die on ventilators…and the 39k Medicare payouts hospitals get for putting people on them….and no legal recourse if it kills anyone because liAbility has been wavered… and it makes me wonder how many of these people would have lived if they hadn’t ventilators shoved down their throats… and how people probably knew that all along. The word murder comes to mind.
Ventilators are notorious spreaders of nosicomial (hosp acquired) infections & are harsh & brutal. Totally agree w/ you on this point: assassination by ventilator.
I would not put anything past these people/this system. Now we do also die at much higher rates from the flu, (and of most inflammatory illnesses due to systemic racism and its many effects). BUT does that rule out these other deliberate actions toward killing/experimenting on us? No. So much is already known historically about this. But why wouldn’t there be stuff that we still don’t know? With ventilators, I read months ago already that many doctors in China and Germany had realized that ventilators were making people worse. The medically-induced comas– are they doing that to white people too? My mom has several friends-of-friends who this was done to (older Black folks in Chicago). I had not heard about this as a treatment.
I don’t know if they are doing it to white people… they were a black family in the story I read. I will try to find it. It really chilled me
“Within days, Sandy received a call that his lung collapsed and to rush to the hospital, where she learned that doctors were unable to save him, according to the report.” He was put in a coma to go on a ventilator, and then his lungs collapsed.
My opinion is that they are inducing medical coma & intubating whites @ a statistically significantly lower rate. Factors like sex, age, class, orientation, ability status are also coming into play.
I really think it isn’t covid that’s so deadly In the hotspots but the protocols they are using that is killing people. Did you see the video of the Brooklyn ER doctor who says the ventilators aren’t working? And then there is this guy, who says “they are bringing people in from Nebraska who have no idea what they are doing and it’s killing a lot of people” and theres “a breakdown in the medical system.” I really think people have been killed not by the virus but by the system. https://youtu.be/I2m3LHuFxGg
“13. According to leading lung specialists, invasive ventilation of Covid19 patients is often counterproductive and causes additional damage to the lungs. The invasive ventilation of Covid19 patients is partly done out of fear of spreading the virus through aerosols.
Contrary to original assumptions, however, the WHO determined at the end of March that there is no evidence of aerosol dispersal of the virus. A leading German virologist also found no aerosol and no smear infections in a pilot study.” There are many hyperlinks if you go to the site; this is on the first page of a very long document. It’s probably my favorite site for actual information about covid-19 and the political response. A lot of the links are not in English but can usually be translated automatically.
Simple, they need everybody’s DNA collected at testing to analyze who is worthy of future investing impact and discard the rest. Act too slow and we might get wise to the idea. Maybe some us just need a bit of tinkering with personalized medicine to make us into annuitized cash generating assets. Ditto.
2020 is a Census year so they have everybody locked down and accounted for and were interested mostly in race as criteria determinant. Look back to 2000 when they asked those invasive questions to help make communities better. Today, they just want to know your race. 🤔 You know it is all theatre. Left/Right and Yes/No have beers in the pub to go over their talking points while decisions were predetermined anyway on high. You can’t tell me you’ve gotten taken in at those school board meetings and believe genuine debates/discussions were happening. Just dinner theatre. Think of Donald Trump as a college frat boy with Fauci who are best of friends and give tips. I’ll give you the Fauci no handshake video and a congratulations to his fellow actors’ performances. Actors, politicians are just actors.
Ok – so here’s the other thing Rockefeller Foundation has a MAJOR presence in Northern Italy – Bellagio in fact. Coincidence?
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM SOMEONE IN SPAIN!!!
This is xxxxx, I am currently in Spain. In the US you have no idea what is happening in Spain (and Italy). March 13 was the last day of school, we were asked to stay home for 2 weeks to allow the Covid 19 danger to pass and avoid more victims. Everyone felt they were doing it out of responsibility and sense of community and fear. We were supposed to start on March 16, but it kept on getting pushed closer and closer, I barely had time to get some food and water. On March 13 the stores had security guards and lines in front. March 14 Grace and I were able to sit on beach 5 minutes, then we were told to go home asap, the police was fining people €200 if found outside. We rushed home, and Grace has not been outside of apartment for 2 months since those 5 minutes on beach. Since March 16, as we were home, the rules suddenly changed: they became stricter every day, and the fines got higher and higher. We have extremely strict rules. We lost freedom completely. I had no idea this could happen, until you experience this, you absolutely have no idea what it means. Only one person is allowed out of the house, and only to nearest food store or pharmacy, police patrolling area stops people and checks receipts and address. Everything is closed, businesses are dying. Use of car is only to go to essential work and only one person per car and you need a special permit signed by employer. Anyone under 18 is not allowed out at all!!! Children have been locked in apartments for 2 months!! Even dogs are allowed out, but only 10 meters from home. Children have not seen sunlight in 2 months!! The fines are now a minimum of $2,000. And yes that is the fine we get if we talk to someone outside of the house even with social distancing!!! Police brutality has become a big issue. People have changed, they now call police on people they see in the street, the police arrive in a group and beat the person up. People on balconies clap. This stressful prison situation has created pain and tension, it has removed compassion and sense of community. Terror of numbers of contagion rising make people hateful towards anyone in the streets. Because any person outside can cause us to be caged longer. People are hanging from these artificially inflated numbers desperate to find a sliver of hope to see sunlight again. As the government keeps on promising fast release if everyone behaves. And the fake numbers go down. But the day of prison release gets pushed further and further out. It is impossible now to get together and protest. We are a broken community. People are terrified of each other. Nobody talks, the eyes with masked faces are the eyes of scared animals now. Something was broken. The handlers know how to break humans and reduce them to cattle. After 2 months of complete and traumatic caged life, we are allowed to take our children under 14 out of the house, but only 1 hour a day and in a half a mile radius from home. Only one adult per child. Gea is not allowed out. We are praying to be able to have 1 hour a day outside per person, they are holding it as a carrot on a stick to keep us hoping as many are hungry and there is no financial help. Apparently over the weekend the politicians shared among each other 10 million Euros. Was this supposed to be help money for the people? I am begging you to not give away your freedom!!! You will never get it back!! As we are praying to get some fresh air, we already know that by end of May we will be in lockdown, heavier than before. Probably like Italy, we will have to ask police permission to go get food. We are unable to leave, no flights out! And I would not even make it out of town anyway. Police blocks everywhere. Please please do not give up your freedom!! We lost freedom, dignity and soon we will be all homeless here. Don’t be scared of any virus!! Loss of freedom has serious repercussions!! It causes a lot more deaths than any disease! We have no hope here, we allowed the forces of evil to turn us into cattle ready to be branded and injected with poison and microchips! We have been reduced to lab rats in cages, ready for September, supposedly it is the estimated date for testing. In meantime we lost all dignity and rights to our bodies. Laws are passed secretly, as we can be forcefully used as lab rats. Please pass this along! Obviously the vaccine is not a vaccine!! We have to be united now for the survival of the entire human race! And fight now before the cage doors close forever!
Here is a post from another friend of mine:
University of Tulsa Presidential Leadership Fellowship Class Project. (Sound like the George Kaiser plan to anyone else?)
ENROLLED HOUSE BILL NO. __, KNOWN AS THE: By: proposed to ⚠ Nichols (Monroe) of the House and _ of the Senate OKLAHOMA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LONG-TERM INVESTMENT ACT A proposed act relating to legislative rules, policy, revenue, tariffs and taxation to promote quality jobs and long-term ⚠economic development in Oklahoma. Be it recognized that: 1. As the world rapidly transitions to a ⚠ knowledge-based ⚠ global market, Oklahoma’s economic future rests on the level of ⚠education, ⚠health and ⚠mental health of its children. 2. To be well educated, one must be healthy. To be healthy, one must be well educated. 3. Over the past 10 years, while other states have recognized the importance of the knowledge economy and increased their level of spending per pupil, Oklahoma has divested in K-12 public education more than any state. 4. Dramatic cutbacks in K-12 school funding has forced many Oklahoma school districts to resort to 4-day school weeks. In the past year, the number of 4-day public schools in Oklahoma doubled to 91. Schools with 4-day school weeks have lower academic scores than 5-day school week school districts. 5. The impact of this divestment in K-12 education has been significant and includes dramatically worse standardized test score averages, flight of Oklahoma public school teachers to other states and the need for more than 1,100 emergency teacher certifications each year. 6. The ⚠ recruitment of new businesses to Oklahoma has been derailed by the current state of Oklahoma’s K-12 education system.
Oklahoma ranks among the bottom 5 of US States in all measures of⚠ health, ⚠mental health and ⚠addiction illnesses. 8. Most notable among these health measures is Oklahoma’s high rates of ⚠ early death, suicide and ⚠ opioid and methamphetamine drug overdoses. 9. Oklahoma has chosen to not ⚠ expand Medicaid coverage for its lowest income families, while other states have improved their percentage of citizens with health care insurance coverage. 10. Oklahoma is faced with significant ⚠ access to care and physician shortages, particularly in ⚠rural Oklahoma where 3 hospitals have closed in the past 24 months. 11. ⚠Funding of State of Oklahoma ⚠ core services are strongly tied to Oklahoma’s oil and gas production. It is vital for Oklahoma to expand its economic base beyond the energy industry to the ⚠ global market and the ⚠emerging knowledge economy. ⚠12.China has the world’s largest population and the world’s second largest economy and will soon surpass the US as the world’s largest economy. 🚨 It is vital that Oklahoma prepares for economic trade with the world’s largest population and economy. 🚨
THE OKLAHOMA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LONG-TERM INVESTMENT ACT was generated by the freshman students of the University of Tulsa’s Presidential Leaders Fellowship. This Bill proposes new policies, programs and revenue generation to improve the economic future of Oklahoma by new investment in ⚠ K-12 education programs, ⚠illness prevention, ⚠wellness, ⚠ health workforce and increased ⚠economic trade at the global level with a focus on China. It is recognized that this Bill is comprehensive and proposes ⚠multiple sources of new revenue generation. It is recognized that: a. This Bill requires 75% majority for passage in the House and Senate. b. This will require components of this Bill to be split into individual Bills to avoid claims of “log rolling.” c. This Bill proposes ⚠ new levels of local control regarding funding of education and that ⚠new legislative rules regarding the constraints of “pre-emption” must be enacted.
SECTION 1. EDUCATION PART I – THE 5TH DAY INITIATIVE The 5th Day Initiative is a stop-gap measure to backfill educational experiences on Fridays for K-12 students in school districts with 4-day school weeks. ⚠Organized through a consortium of community non-profits, local universities and local school districts, a 5th day of educational offerings are offered to K-12 students. Nonprofits such as churches, YMCAs, universities, university students as teacher volunteers and after school programs would provide ⚠online and in person educational sessions.� LEGILSATIVE ACTIONS REQUIRED: a. Certification process for university student teacher volunteers by Oklahoma Office of Educational Quality and Accountability (OEQA). b. ⚠ Tax credits would be provided to those helping to fund after school programs and for volunteers. c. ⚠Require school districts to be informed about the “Fifth day Program.” d. The 5th Day School Partnerships will receive up to six projectors and six monitors for ⚠streaming additional teaching by university student teachers on Fridays where elementary schools don’t have a fifth day of school. e. School holds the projectors and gives them to a ⚠non-profit organization. f. For those children without internet capacity at home and needing supervision, ⚠ bus students to the non-profit instead of school. g. One volunteer is recruited per section or room to supervise kids. � h.⚠ For 4 hours (a half day) 4 classes are given over the internet, one from each school (Math, English, Science, History). i. Buses take the kids back home or to after-care programs. j. ⚠University student teacher volunteers receive college course credit and state-supported Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education ⚠college scholarships for participation. k. ⚠The University of Tulsa’s Department of Education and True Blue Neighbors would serve as the first pilot program for the 5th Day Initiative.
PART II – LOCAL BOND ISSUE FLEXIBILITY TO FUND SCHOOL OPERATIONS.
Currently, local bond initiatives can be issued for capital projects within local school districts. But there are restrictions on local taxation and bond issues to be applied to local school operations (pre-emption.) LEGILSATIVE ACTIONS REQUIRED: a. Allow local school districts, municipalities and counties to ⚠allow elections for bond issues to apply funding directly to their school needs and operations.
PART III. – CHARTER SCHOOL AND PARTNERSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT FLEXIBILTIY
⚠Charter schools and partnership school districts have been successful in⚠ tailoring education programs to meet the needs of specific neighborhoods and communities (e.g. ⚠KIPP schools.) ⚠Current state legislation and policy are onerous in establishing, operating and funding of charter school and partnership school districts. LEGILSATIVE ACTIONS REQUIRED: a. ⚠Remove the barriers to establishing and ongoing funding of charter schools and partnership school districts. b. Tulsa’s ⚠Kendall Whittier Elementary School, ⚠ Will Rogers High School, and the University of Tulsa would serve as a pilot partnership school district within Tulsa Public Schools District.
SECTION 2. HEALTH ⚠A comprehensive approach to Oklahoma’s health is required including addressing improvements in ⚠ wellness and habits of health of Oklahoma’s children, tobacco use prevention and cessation and improved access to care particularly in ⚠ underserved rural and urban areas. It is recognized that ⚠marijuana, although not harmless, has similar detriments to long-term health to other legal and taxed substances e.g. alcohol and tobacco. Among highly addicted ⚠opioid abusers, Marijuana has proven to be a far safer alternative drug of abuse to the highly deadly abuse of opioids. LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS REQUIRED a. Reinstate physical education for grades K-8. b. Establish 1.5 credits per semester physical education requirement for grades 9-12. Sports, spirit squad and marching band participation serves as credit for this requirement. c. A semester each of middle school and high school⚠ health and wellness classes established. d. Through the Oklahoma State Department of Health,⚠ local seminars on tobacco use, poor eating habits and healthy lifestyles. e.⚠ Through Medicaid and commercial health plans, provide reimbursement to clinicians for assisting patients with⚠ preventive health measures. Funding for this would be through an increase in Oklahoma’s tax on all tobacco and nicotine products (vaping.) f. ⚠State-supported scholarships for students that commit to medical school and to practice medicine in Oklahoma. Funding for this would be provided by the ⚠legalization and taxation of recreational use of marijuana. g. State-supported financial aid to rural hospitals to assist with maintaining access to care in rural Oklahoma. Funding for this would be through an increase in Oklahoma’s tax on all tobacco and nicotine products (vaping.)
SECTION 3. OKLAHOMA, UNITED STATES AND CHINA TRADE AGREEMENT As an effort to expand and diversify Oklahoma’s economy in the ⚠global market, Oklahoma elected officials, the business community and universities commit to the following to improve ⚠trade with China: a. ⚠Support the lowering of tariffs by both the USA and China. b. ⚠Lower the US corporate tax rates. c. ⚠Increasing US tax rate on US companies that outsource work to other countries. d. ⚠ Increase cross-cultural interactions specifically with Chinese government, businesses and universities.
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
NPR describes what schools will look like based on teacher union and tech company input. Hygiene, smaller classes lead the list. But if you haven’t been reading information coming out of the Big Tech/Big Data websites, you might be missing the huge amount of control that they will have over us when we do reopen. It’s a staggering loss of freedom! (More on this soon.) Note: “Every expert NPR spoke with predicted that the need for remote learning would continue because of staggered schedules, schools prepared to close again for future waves of infection…” “future waves of infection” “many students need remediation” “teachers [newly] trained” “equipment for children” The next paragraph uses the term equity and as many on the Left and Right and in between are increasingly pointing out, the technocracy is not for equity but for equitable enslavement. There is a whole agenda here based on digital citizenship, digital human capital, digital people. Data is not the representation of people. Data is US within a digital world. Once we have digital wearables, implantables we become apart of the digital world more and more. Reality will not be based on the world we know; it will all be digital and easily surveilled. Digital badges, digital certificates, digital health certificates, testing, testing, testing, tracing all your contacts, drugs, vaccines, vaccines with nanoparticles (straight from Gates’ mouth) and digital worlds. What goes into your data profile if you test positive? negative? MACC called this year’s ago and that’s why for some years our primary focus was stopping the data flow which is a control mechanism for the workforce pipeline.

Former Florida Governor Makes the Case for Machine Learning Going Forward! It’s Coming folks, It’s Coming! Our country has been experimenting with full-time machine (distance) learning for nearly 2 months. What has been the result? Thousands of students aren’t checking in to class and parents are really seeing what online learning offers.
What about the mental health effects of machine learning on kids? It’s:
Sterile
Isolating
Anti-social
Unhuman
Competitive
Gamified
Continuous distractions
Every keystroke collected
Biometric collections of facial expressions
Character and attitudes collected for profiling
Predatory curriculum in some cases

“Congress has already set aside $13.2 billion for states and schools to spend on pandemic-related education issues. A portion of these funds should be used to provide needed technology tools to students who don’t have access to WiFi and laptops or tablets.”

Now Oklahoma is talking about using distance learning for at least part of the fall semester.
“You know what I have zero interest in doing? Reading Jeb Bush’s op-ed in the Washington Post. But I will read Peter Greene:
There is not a shred of evidence that internet education would “better enable students to learn” or be better prepared for college or workplace. Teachers are already innovative and personalized; there’s no evidence that the internet would make them more so. What does “distance learning has the capacity to help students go deeper” even mean? The benefit is so tenuously detached from reality that we’re going to stick with, “Well, it maybe could happen.”
Cuomo will use COVID19 to obliterate locally controlled, public education once and for all. Complete state control, your child tethered to machines …
And here is a post that she quoted:
From Cuomo’s press conference today……………..
“We’ve all be talking about remote education…and there’s a lot that can be done. The old model of everybody goes and sits in a classroom and the teacher is in front of that classroom and teaches that class you do that all across the city, all across the state with all these buildings with all these physical classrooms…why with all the technology you have?”
And…He’s enlisting the Gates foundation to “re-imagine” education. Apparentlly we’re to forget Gates’ past failures while dipping into educational waters. Cuomo knows nothing about teaching. His disdain for teachers is well documented. He is rightfully listening to doctors when dealing with COVID-19 but has never listened to teachers when it comes to educating our children. I’ll give him credit for his handling of this crisis. He has done well, but let’s not forget what he has done to education, teachers and children over the years. Now we need to prepare ourselves for his next wave of catastrophic “reforms.”
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
he George Kaiser Family Foundation sponsored a town hall meeting on the Future of Higher Education. 😂😂😂
Leigh Goodson and Glen Johnson took pre-screened questions. TU Interim President Janet Levit sat this one out, I gather. Perhaps because she is married to the CEO of the GKFF? Or because TU is about to be liquidated?
Was it full of propaganda extolling STEM, cybersecurity, healthcare, aerospace research, workforce development for the 21st century, personalized start-up changemaker innovation hubs, and digital everything?
I bet it really made folks feel great about investing in a 529. Sheesh.
So, in the middle of a ‘pandemic’ the City of Auburn found it NECESSARY to sign a 5G installation contract?!?!?! Does anyone else know about this??
And some replies to this post:
I am in Florida, and the other day I overheard a man talking about how overworked he is. He said they are installing 5G towers all over our area. Said he is working 24/7 and lucky to get 3 hours of sleep a night.
we are in a rural part of Florida, so why the heck do we need 5G out here??
I can’t help but wonder if this is what the shut down has been about all along. Get 5G installed and running while everyone is preoccupied with a virus that has NOT overwhelmed our healthcare system.
exactly…in our kids’ schools too
The connectivity crap. They say that since we’re all online that we need to be connected during this “crisis”. What better excuse to put in all of that 5G under the guise of “helping” with that.
Dark agenda is always done under the guise or cover of “save the people”
There’s some big project going on I81 northbound of Syracuse starting tomorrow I believe. Installing some big controlling device of we the people. They’ve got the signs up for awhile now.
Here is a post from an Ohio anti-Common Core group:
This will be great for working parents….unless they are planning to keep us under house arrest longer! Grrrr….
If Gates is working as grant advisor in NY and WA, you have to know that he’s working with many states, if not all. This IS the money for education. The agenda? machine learning.The DeVos CoronaEd $13B Stimulus. Out of desperation and with a lack of ethics, states will again commit to certain atrocities on our next generation all in the name of a competition. Unless we speak up… (Who do you call? The education committee chairs, entire ed committee and party bosses.)
Do you recall the last time this happened? Think 2008/2009 and the subprime mortgage crisis. States were incentivized to commit to an unknown national standard. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act would require states to agree to accepting a new standard, whatever it might be if they were ever to see any federal funding. They also had to agree to building a state longitudinal data base to collect information on the little ones. Later, they slipped in the Common Core.
Here are the first 3 states stepping up! Within weeks we’ll likely see a good percentage of states signing on to the Gates Foundation/United Nations plan to hurt our children. Illinois, Colorado and Ohio are already announcing that the entire year, 2020-2021 will be “remote learning”.
I actually believe that online distance learning will continue until January 2021. Governor Walz has mentioned in meetings that he doesn’t want students K-12 going back to school until there is a vaccine or a Covid treatment plan. Public school administrators are frantically working to fit in the social distance piece… how does that look? Smaller class sizes? Half days? Every other day? The real issue is bussing; there is not a realistic way to bus children to school with the social distance requirement in place, thus the reason online learning will continue into next school year.
I totally remember this press conference and wrote down what he said. But I’ve not heard of an official announcement.
yeah, not really official yet. I have a family member decently high up that attends round table discussions regarding the state of education in MN. Families will not respond to the thought of this type of learning continuing. It’s not good, districts are all in lock step because MN already has an achievement gap and the governor does not want that to widen. I am not sure how to put this in an inoffensive way, but public schools are teaching to the lowest common denominator. Please remove if I’m too inappropriate or suggest a better way to put this. 😢
They didn’t say the “entire” year of fall 2020 would be remote, just that they are thinking it COULD be. Granted, I think that’s already what they’ve decided, but i’ts just my thoughts at the moment.
They are signaling that it will be the full year. Our Strib had an article today marketing distance learning – there’s no reason to go back to the old way. DeVos’ competitive grant all 3 parts are for distance learning of some sort.
The grants are the money for the states. States may choose which of the 3 distance learning options they want.
I meant in IL and some of the other states.
However, when you said grant and distance learning just now, I got to thinking, these CARES act bills are probably loads of pages long. Who’s to say that, embedded in there, there isn’t an edict to the states that take this money that they HAVE to go along with the distance learning and the “oh no a virus” charade and that the fall distance learning is already a done deal? In short, Race to the Top all over again. Hope I’m wrong.

iReady did analysis of which kids were engaging online during Covid19 shutdown, and which kids were not. Their results make me wonder how the techlords plan to “fix” this in the future?…free internet and chromebooks for all and penalize parents who don’t make their kids use edtech for x amount of hours a day? 🙄 iReady found: “More troubling is the usage based on income levels. By the third week of school closures, 93 percent of students in the highest income bracket were back to normal usage. By contrast, only half the students in the lowest bracket were using i-Ready as regularly as they had been prior to closures.”
iReady is horrible and I can imagine only the top tier kids could manage to do it by themselves. did you see my DM about FutureReady.org asking the FCC to pay for wireless for ALL US students who can’t afford it? We are never going back to true education.

These folks (experts) from Harvard Graduate School of Education explain how it won’t be that bad when teachers are laid off (due to budget cuts) because we can fire teachers based on their “effectiveness scores”. 😬 Covid is going to be death of brick and mortar, ushering in virtual schools. Who could have foreseen teachers replaced by computers?
School district leaders may be able to protect their most effective classroom teachers By Heather C. Hill, Susanna Loeb & Eric Taylor May 5, 2020
With the United States suddenly in a recession, school districts will be thinking seriously about reducing their teaching workforces. On average, salaries account for about 80 percent of district spending, so layoffs may be an inevitable step when budgets must be cut.
For many, budget crises and potential layoffs may feel all too familiar. The long and severe 2008 recession led many districts to let teachers go. Even more teachers received a reduction-in-force or RIF notice—an advance warning issued to teachers whose jobs are at risk. Two federally funded district bailouts helped districts rescind many of the RIF notices, but still, one estimate indicated nearly 300,000 school employees lost their jobs.
During the 2008 recession, most districts generally put novice teachers at the top of the list for layoffs because leaders were following seniority rules baked into collective bargaining agreements or state statutes. Since 2008, however, 17 states have either prohibited basing layoffs on seniority alone or have mandated that districts take teacher performance into account.
What can we expect this time around given that change? Research shows that teacher layoffs generally hurt schools and student performance, but that strategically choosing which teachers will lose their jobs may mitigate the negative effects. “Last-in, first-out policies not only burden the schools with the greatest challenges and increase class size the most, they are also not a good approach to keeping the best teachers.”
The bad news first: Teacher layoffs and even the threat of layoffs can depress student-test scores in several ways. A team led by Michigan State University scholar Katharine Strunk studied teachers who were threatened with RIF notices, though ultimately, the notices were rescinded or the teachers were rehired. Strunk and her team found that those teachers often became less effective after they got the notices as measured by their contributions to gains in student-test scores. The researchers attributed the change to the teachers’ greater stress and their reduced commitment to jobs that might be taken away.
If layoffs in fact occur, class sizes typically rise–and that, too, can in some instances lead to diminished student learning. And laying off teachers by eliminating novices first means even greater increases to class size than if a mix of experienced and inexperienced teachers are given pink slips. Novices are generally paid less, so more have to lose their jobs to meet budget targets.
A third way that layoffs or the threat of layoffs affect students is through teacher mobility. Layoffs create obvious staff change, but even the threat of job losses tends to increase turnover, as teachers leave before they can be laid off.
Research led by Matthew Ronfeldt of the University of Michigan showed that teacher turnover affects the teachers who remain in the school, perhaps due to changes in routines and responsibilities. Student-test scores in both math and English/language arts suffer as a result, with stronger negative effects in schools serving low-income students and students of color. Still other research shows that when a teacher switches grades, another common occurrence during periods of teacher mobility, her students’ test scores decrease, likely because the teacher must teach new content at a different developmental level. About this series
This essay is the seventh in a series that aims to put the pieces of research together so that education decisionmakers can evaluate which policies and practices to implement.
The conveners of this project—Susanna Loeb, the director of Brown University’s Annenberg Institute for School Reform, and Harvard education professor Heather Hill—have received grant support from the Annenberg Institute for this series.

Overall, then, teacher layoffs—even the prospect of them—are likely to negatively affect students. And these negative effects may be the greatest in the most challenging schools. Layoffs from the 2008 recession disproportionately occurred in schools that serve low-income, high-need students. Such schools are more heavily staffed by first-year teachers, who were much more likely to be laid off.
Last-in, first-out policies not only burden the schools with the greatest challenges and increase class size the most, they are also not a good approach to keeping the best teachers. While more experienced teachers are more effective, on average, than less experienced teachers, many novice teachers are excellent. In fact, experience explains only a little of the difference in effectiveness across teachers.
And here’s the good news. While recession-induced layoffs are bound to be detrimental, schools and districts can reduce the negative effects by protecting their greatest-need schools and their most effective teachers.
First, districts can protect schools that have high existing rates of turnover or large proportions of at-risk students either by exempting those schools from layoffs altogether or by requiring layoffs to be equal across schools. Following a lawsuit, the Los Angeles Unified school district adopted such a policy in the middle of the 2008 recession and succeeded in sharply reducing teacher turnover in 45 schools.
Second, districts can also protect students by using information about teacher performance when making decisions about which teachers to lay off. Two recent simulations showed that basing layoffs on teachers’ effectiveness in promoting student learning would result in fewer layoffs to meet budget targets and better teachers for many students.
More Opinion Follow Opinion here.
A 2015 paper by Matthew Kraft of Brown University describes how the Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools in North Carolina laid off teachers using several criteria, including enrollment trends, principal-assigned performance ratings, and length of service. Layoffs were still concentrated among untenured teachers (84 percent of those laid off), but of the teachers the district let go, 58 percent had below-standard performance ratings. Holding the number of layoffs constant, the analysis showed that the discretionary layoffs saved the district about $5 million more than would have been the case under a last-in, first-out scenario and boosted student achievement above what it would have been in that case.
Of course, it would be better to prevent layoffs than mitigate their effects. In that regard, state and federal government action can be powerful. The number of teachers laid off in this recession could be reduced, as it was in 2008, by federal aid. That kind of aid would parallel the assistance already given to private-sector workers.
But should layoffs occur, the greatest-needs schools may benefit from special consideration. And students will be harmed less if administrators use measures of teacher effectiveness, among other criteria, to determine which teachers stay and which go.

‘I Could Solve Most of Your Problems’: Eric Schmidt’s Pentagon Offensive The former Google C.E.O. has reinvented himself as the prime liaison between Silicon Valley and the military-industrial complex.
By Kate Conger and Cade Metz May 2, 2020, 5:00 a.m. ET
In July 2016, Raymond Thomas, a four-star general and head of the U.S. Special Operations Command, hosted a guest: Eric Schmidt, the chairman of Google.
General Thomas, who served in the 1991 gulf war and deployed many times to Afghanistan, spent the better part of a day showing Mr. Schmidt around Special Operations Command’s headquarters in Tampa, Fla. They scrutinized prototypes for a robotic exoskeleton suit and joined operational briefings, which Mr. Schmidt wanted to learn more about because he had recently begun advising the military on technology.
After the visit, as they rode in a Chevy Suburban toward an airport, the conversation turned to a form of artificial intelligence.
“You absolutely suck at machine learning,” Mr. Schmidt told General Thomas, the officer recalled. “If I got under your tent for a day, I could solve most of your problems.” General Thomas said he was so offended that he wanted to throw Mr. Schmidt out of the car, but refrained.
Four years later, Mr. Schmidt, 65, has channeled his blunt assessment of the military’s tech failings into a personal campaign to revamp America’s defense forces with more engineers, more software and more A.I. In the process, the tech billionaire, who left Google last year, has reinvented himself as the prime liaison between Silicon Valley and the national security community.
Mr. Schmidt now sits on two government advisory boards aimed at jump starting technological innovation at the Defense Department. His confidants include former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and ex-Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work. And through his own venture capital firm and a $13 billion fortune, Mr. Schmidt has invested millions of dollars into more than half a dozen defense start-ups.
Thanks for reading The Times. Subscribe to The Times In an interview, Mr. Schmidt — by turns thoughtful, pedagogical and hubristic — said he had embarked on an effort to modernize the U.S. military because it was “stuck in software in the 1980s.”
He portrayed himself as a successful technologist who did not believe in retirement and who owed a debt to the country for his wealth — and who now had time and insight to solve one of America’s hardest problems. The goal, he said, “should be to have as many software companies to supply software of many, many different kinds: military, H.R. systems, email systems, things which involve military intelligence, weapons systems and what have you.”
Mr. Schmidt is pressing forward with a Silicon Valley worldview where advances in software and A.I. are the keys to figuring out almost any issue. While that philosophy has led to social networks that spread disinformation and other unintended consequences, Mr. Schmidt said he was convinced that applying new and relatively untested technology to complex situations — including deadly ones — would make service members more efficient and bolster the United States in its competition with China.
His techno-solutionism is complicated by his ties to Google. Though Mr. Schmidt left the company’s board last June and has no official operating role, he holds $5.3 billion in shares of Google’s parent, Alphabet. He also remains on the payroll as an adviser, earning a $1 annual salary, with two assistants stationed at Google’s Silicon Valley headquarters.
That has led to allegations that Mr. Schmidt is putting Google’s financial interests ahead of other considerations in his defense work. Late last year, a federal court ordered a congressional advisory committee he leads to turn over records that could shed light on whether Mr. Schmidt had advocated his business interests while heading the group.
Mr. Schmidt said he had followed rules to avoid conflicts. “Everybody is rule-bound at the Pentagon, and we are too,” he said.
Google and the Defense Department declined to comment on Mr. Schmidt’s work.
Even without those complications, shifting the military’s path is no simple task. While Mr. Schmidt has helped generate reports and recommendations about technology for the Pentagon, few have been adopted.
“I’m sure he’ll be frustrated,” said Representative Mac Thornberry, a Republican of Texas who nominated Mr. Schmidt in 2018 to an advisory committee on A.I. “Unlike the private sector, you can’t just snap your fingers and make it happen.”
Mr. Schmidt acknowledged that progress was slow. “I am bizarrely told by my military friends that they have moved incredibly fast, showing you the difference of time frames between the world I live in and the world they live in,” he said.
But he said he had little intention of backing down. “The way to understand the military is that the soldiers spend a great deal of time looking at screens. And human vision is not as good as computer vision,” he said. “It’s insane that you have people going to service academies, and we spend an enormous amount of training, training these people, and we put them in essentially monotonous work.”

Bill Richardson of New Mexico, standing right, watching North Korean soldiers working on computers in Pyongyang in 2013.Credit…David Guttenfelder/Associated Press Mr. Schmidt’s first brush with the military came in 1976, while he was in graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley. There, he focused on research on distributed computing, funded by money from Darpa, a research arm of the Defense Department.
The work catapulted Mr. Schmidt into his technology career. After completing his graduate studies in computer science, he worked at various tech companies for more than two decades, including the networking software maker Novell. In 2001, Google appointed him chief executive.
The search engine company was then in its infancy. Its 20-something founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, were fresh out of a Stanford University doctorate program and had little business experience. Mr. Schmidt was hired to help guide them, providing “adult supervision,” which he did — and then some.
Mr. Schmidt took Google public in 2004 and built it into a behemoth, diversifying into smartphones, cloud computing and self-driving cars. The success turned him into a business celebrity. In 2009, he served as a tech adviser to the Obama administration.

Mr. Schmidt became executive chairman.
In that role, Mr. Schmidt took on new projects, many of which brought him to Washington. In 2012, he participated in classified briefings on cybersecurity with Pentagon officials as part of the Enduring Security Framework program. In 2015, he attended a seminar on the banks of the Potomac River, hosted by then-Defense Secretary Ash Carter, on the use of technology inside the government.
“It was all interesting to me,” Mr. Schmidt said. “I didn’t really know much about it.”
He also traveled to North Korea, Afghanistan and Libya while writing a book about technology and diplomacy, and dabbled in politics, lending technical support to Hillary Clinton in the run-up to her 2016 presidential campaign.
His venture capital fund, Innovation Endeavors, was active too. It invested in start-ups like Planet Labs, which operates satellites and sells the imagery to defense and intelligence agencies, and Team8, a cybersecurity company founded by former Israeli intelligence members.
At the 2016 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Mr. Carter asked Mr. Schmidt to meet. He had a proposal: Could Mr. Schmidt lead the Defense Innovation Board, a civilian advisory group tasked with bringing new technology to the Pentagon?
“We were in one of these dumpy hotels, and there he is with his small entourage walking in, and he basically said to me, ‘This is what I want to do. You’d be the perfect person to be chairman,’” Mr. Schmidt said.
Mr. Schmidt said he turned down the role because he was busy and had no military background. But Mr. Carter argued that Mr. Schmidt’s tech expertise was needed, as the U.S. military — which had once been a center of innovation — was falling behind companies like Google and Facebook in software and A.I.
Mr. Schmidt ultimately agreed. (Mr. Carter did not respond to requests for comment.)
As head of the Defense Innovation Board, Mr. Schmidt began touring military bases, aircraft carriers and plutonium strongholds. The trips, which took Mr. Schmidt to about 100 bases in places like Fayetteville, N.C., and Osan, South Korea, were a distinct break from his well-heeled life in Silicon Valley.
“You want to see these things,” Mr. Schmidt said. “I got the nuclear missile tour. Things that are hard. I got a tour of Cheyenne Mountain so I could understand what their reality was.”
One of the first trips was to Tampa to visit General Thomas, who is known as Tony, where Mr. Schmidt saw maps and live video feeds displayed on massive screens. “Eric’s observation was that a huge part of what the military does is it sits and watches,” said Josh Marcuse, the then executive director of the Defense Innovation Board who was on the trip.
The visits made tangible what Mr. Carter had told Mr. Schmidt about how the military was lagging in technology. Mr. Schmidt soon made suggestions to change that.
Some of his ideas were impractical. Eric Rosenbach, then the chief of staff to Mr. Carter, recalled Mr. Schmidt once telling him that the Pentagon would be better off if it hired no one but engineers for a year.
Others were useful. At an Air Force facility in Qatar in 2016, Mr. Schmidt visited officers who scheduled flight paths for the tankers that refueled planes. They used a white board and dry-erase markers to set the schedule, taking eight hours to complete the task.
Mr. Schmidt said he recalled thinking, “Really? This is how you run the air war?” Afterward, he and others at the Defense Department worked with the tech company Pivotal to ship software to the officers.
On another trip to a military base in South Korea in 2017, an intelligence analyst complained to Mr. Schmidt that the software he used to review surveillance videos from North Korea was clunky.
“Let me guess,” Mr. Schmidt said, according to a Defense Department aide who traveled with him. “You don’t have the flexibility to change that.”
Wishing He Weighed In At Google, Mr. Schmidt’s influence waned as new leaders — such as Sundar Pichai, now Alphabet’s chief executive, and Ruth Porat, its chief financial officer — rose. Google also faced questions when the #MeToo era began in 2017 about Mr. Schmidt’s conduct as C.E.O. Mr. Schmidt, who is married, had openly had extramarital relationships when he ran the company.
In December 2017, Mr. Schmidt stepped down as Google’s chairman but remained on the board. He said he was seeking a new chapter.
“If I stayed as chairman, then next year would have been the same as the previous year, and I wanted a change of emphasis,” said Mr. Schmidt. “As chairman of Google, what I did is I ran around and gave speeches, and went to Brussels and all the things that Google still does today. It’s much better to work on these new things for me.”
Google declined to comment on Mr. Schmidt’s departure as chairman.
By then, Mr. Schmidt’s ties to Google had caused problems in his defense work. In 2016, Roma Laster, a Defense Department employee, filed a complaint at the agency raising concerns about Mr. Schmidt and conflicts of interest, Mr. Marcuse said.
In the complaint, earlier reported by ProPublica, Ms. Laster, who worked with the Defense Innovation Board, said Mr. Schmidt had asked a service member what cloud computing services their unit used and whether they had considered alternatives. She said Mr. Schmidt faced a conflict of interest because he worked for Google, which also provides cloud services.
allegations that Mr. Schmidt is putting Google’s financial interests ahead of other considerations in his defense work. Late last year, a federal court ordered a congressional advisory committee he leads to turn over records that could shed light on whether Mr. Schmidt had advocated his business interests while heading the group. Mr. Schmidt said he had followed rules to avoid conflicts. “Everybody is rule-bound at the Pentagon, and we are too,” he said. Google and the Defense Department declined to comment on Mr. Schmidt’s work.

Virginia’s governor invited the Trojan Horse iNACOL into the inner circle.
Remember what I mentioned concerning negative interest rates and now it will happen in 2021 .. Just as I stated Fast Track Payment System will also begin in 2021 .. SCROLL down this post – Globalization has linked the economies of the world into an interconnected web of mutually-assured destruction. Banks have turned to charges on consumers in order to mitigate the coming impact. Reaganomics — the nickname for the economic stimulus package under Ronald Reagan — was famous for its ‘trickledown’ policy. Reagan believed that if business owners were incentivized to invest and spend, the result would be an increase in middle-class wealth and overall economic stability for the nation. The International Monetary Fund [IMF] is now analyzing potential ways to reduce interest rates below zero. Simply put, negative interest rates would mean that consumers would be charged to keep money in the bank. The stated goal is to move liquidity into the market by making it costly to keep money in the bank. The method IMF has suggested has been to create dual currencies in order to reduce overall cash in the marketplace. Electronic funds controlled by a central bank can be controlled with interest rate changes, but cash cannot. By removing cash out of the system, central banks can control the amount of interest charged without the freedom that cash provided
-“In a cashless world, there would be no lower bound on interest rates. A central bank could reduce the policy rate from, say, 2 percent to minus 4 percent to counter a severe recession. The interest rate cut would transmit to bank deposits, loans, and bonds. Without cash, depositors would have to pay the negative interest rate to keep their money with the bank, making consumption and investment more attractive. This would jolt lending, boost demand, and stimulate the economy.”
It Begins: For The First Time Ever, US Fed Funds Price “Fatal” Negative Interest Rate Starting Jan 2021 What does a negative interest rate mean, aside from the obvious death sentence for banks? We have written thousands of articles (literally) why sliding into this monetary twilight zone – where both Japan and Europe already are to be found, frozen in monetary carbonite – means game over, but instead of recapping them all, we will give the final word to the bond king Jeff Gundlach himself, who conveniently summarized it best last night when he tweeted that a rate < 0 is “fatal”.
Harvard rolled this out Friday night, hoping you would miss it. “Harvard University joined its cross-town rival MIT in belatedly acknowledging deeper-than-disclosed, extensive ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter to alumni on Friday, Harvard President Lawrence Bacow detailed an internal review of the Ivy League school’s relationship with the late Epstein, concluding that the $9.1 million in gifts he gave directly came to a halt following his sex-crimes conviction in 2008. His relationship with the school continued, however, with gifts through surrogates and more than 40 visits to a program that he had given money to before his conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. He even maintained until 2017 what came to be “Jeffrey’s Office” on campus.”
These billionaires are buying policy “research” to support their agendas at universities across the country. The most recent is Eli Broad and his giant “donation” to Yale to “study” education management. His academy already trains businessmen in privatization efforts and how to take over public schools. His ideas are widely known to dismantle public schools and turn them over to charters so now he’ll go buy the reputation of Yale to support his ideas with “research”. It’s sickening. It’s shadow governments working via universities – they buy predetermined outcomes to give to politicians to make policies they support their programs.
The bought and paid for “experts” Meanwhile Harvard was slated to lend their brilliance to banning homeschooling. When challenged with facts counter to their suppositions and elitist opinions they cancelled. Cadres of self proclaimed smartest in the arena educrats have sold their souls. Circular citations to lend credibility to their inane ideas.
Here is a post from Alison:
Mask protocol peer pressure is a way cultivating people to feel superior to others and make it seem normal when they come to pull your neighbor out of their home and put their children in foster care. Wake up and realize what is happening here. NONE of this is about caring for our communities. It is about terrorizing people, inculcating fear of one another, and conditioning the masses to authoritarian government. I get it if people didn’t see this three weeks ago. Ok, but now there is really no excuse.
IL gov basically said no gatherings of 50 or more till there is a vaccine. That means that we’ll be lucky if they have churches and schools meeting regularly before CHRISTMAS. However, they may end up rushing the vaccine and then everyone will hate us for daring not to take it and wanting to turn us in for “spoling everything” by not going along as we’d be “putting them at risk”. They used the same logic in NY last year, claiming that those were unvaccinated could put everyone at risk and they were VERY strict in Rockland county, NY last year. This A99 came about sometime in 2019 after the mandatory vaccination for schools as well as the hype in NY about vaccination
Until Illinois gets to stage 5 (which governor JB the Hutt said would need a vaccine or whatever, which could take months and up to a year or so), that no gatherings of 50 or more would be allowed, meaning schools and churches could NOT meet regularly.
Just to make it clear – for me this is about the “culture” of masking – the idea that as a society we are being set up to monitor and judge everyone around us regarding their fidelity of mask wearing – if they are wearing – if they are wearing “properly,” etc. – Same goes for social distancing. Right now we are conditioned to see our fellow human beings as threats and menaces – some folks are taking to this more than others. My goal is not to debate the “science” of the masks – but the way in which it is being used as a tool to break down social relations. So when they authorities come for someone – well, they must have deserved it – they must not have been sufficiently compliant.
This has been going on for a while. Medical kidnappings at hospitals for daring to have a second opinion than the doctors. CPS taking kids just for money or for crooked reasons because they get money if they place a kid, even in a bad situation, not with a relative who cares, but in CPS custody. Many people probably think the parents who had their kids seized “deserved it” without ever checking to find out.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
This is no good. Oklahoma is already setting up for government by P3s (Public-private partnerships). This bill, authored by Representative McCall, the CEO of AmeriState Bank, would make it very difficult to “follow the money.”
It would be important to know that Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg are funding our state’s healthcare, schools, digital transformation, and Covid Contract Tracing… wouldn’t it?!?
This 7-minute-long video isn’t polished, but the info on Reinventing Government through P3s is good.
SB1491 would bar any public agency from requiring a nonprofit 501(c) group to provide the agency with personal affiliation information about its donors. The legislation would also prohibit a public agency from publicly disclosing any such information it might have and exempt personal affiliation information from disclosure under the state’s open records law.
Here is a post that I found on Shannon Joy’s wall:
This is called the TRACE bill. It would literally track, trace and tag everyone in the USA. We the people need to fight against this if you want to live as an independent human being.
GOP Congressman McHenry – “Look at the way technology is fundamentally changing lives and places like Kenya. Think of this. In Kenya, the phone, your smartphone, our smartphone is that way to financial inclusion in Kenya. The “movement of money cheaper” in Kenya than it is here because of this simple device. It’s more powerful in that jurisdiction than in ours because of regulation and forward-looking regulation. And instead of loading buses filled with luggage that’s filled with cash in moving money in Kenya, they’re now doing it through a fast transfer over their mobile device. They’ve moved generations ahead overnight. And in fact, in many ways, they’re leading the world in Fintech deployment. So, we’re living in a new and exciting era in financial services. It’s actually matched the best interest of consumer protection with the demands of global smartphone-led revolution that we, as consumers, are driving. Now, that’s what’s happening in the real world. ” https://youtu.be/fzcNBrgvbjA
And some replies to this post:
Yes. Fintech AND health care are going hand in hand. What better way to control you than with your life….if you give your life to them. Fortunately, nobody need to be complicit. Humanity has survived and thrived without their help for 6000 years, no need for assistance now. Dogs have always been resourceful too.
and will you look at this. ““The program has nearly tripled in size from $800 million in 2009 to $2.2 billion per year in 2012,” the senior Republicans on the Energy and Commerce Committee wrote in a March 26 letter to the Democratic minority. “American taxpayers — and we as their elected representatives — need to know how much of this growth is because of waste, fraud and abuse.”
What o started the t got it injected on steroids, huh?
Yes and I think it was all planned , everyone has got to have a smart phone to become part of the globalization system . Ivanka even stated at the W20 many people do not have a smart phone in order to do banking business, etc..
NOBODY should have to own a ”smart phone” to access their means of making a living. This implies “smart phone“ is the “new currency”.
this is the prelude to the next generation of dermal and subdermal smart sevices to attach your person to an account number. Once that happens, your birth certificate is no longer required to function im your society.
Remember what Ivanka stated at the CNET 2020 conference – quote : “We need to harness technology and data to enable people to have their information in their iPhone,” she said, listing high school degrees, health records and on-the-job skills such as CPR for what she called the “resume of the future.”
Only to be “oops” wiped out with the next iOS update, bad idea. Ohhh you mean put it on the cloud? Then it becomes THEIR property. Nope. Bad idea. STUPID STUPID STUPID.
He leapt on that right after the dreadful earthquake in Haiti, like it was their priority Hes a vampire
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
The seriousness of our situation cannot be overstated. This is Singapore, but the dog was made by Boston Dynamics, a company now owned by Soft Bank (Japan). I hope the world wakes from its trance soon.
Boston Dynamics has been around for about 10 years or so. They were bought up by Google/Alphabet and did contract work with DARPA. They have a large assortment of quadraped and bipedal robots.
Now Soft Bank owns them – they are running the money for the Saudi Vision Fund.
You know the MA state police are already using them to break into people’s homes.
these same robots were used as ‘mules’ on the battlefield in Afghanistan.
I just keep imagining the history of dogs and slavery. Not good.
From 2018- The Huntington Park, CA Police Department has “sworn in” an autonomous scanning robot with 360-degree HD video capability to monitor a public park, according to KTLA News, The Associated Press and others.
at Pennovation – I drive by it on my way to the garden – they have the GRASP robotics lab where they are doing the Army hive mind drones, but very often the police use the lawn out front to train the police dogs – German Shepherds. One day I was waiting at the light and one was running around with a padded arm in it’s mouth. I swear I feel like I am living in a surreal world and wonder if anyone else is noticing.
I see the connections you are making – people need to be making these connections.
Somebody had a quote up that said the most studied science by the one percent billionaire class is the science of population control.
And a post from another friend of mine:
With the shortage of meat brought on because of Covid-19, Beyond Meat is in prime position to provide meat for the world, that is FAKE meat. Of course the usual suspects can be found behind the scenes, namely, Bill Gates and Al Gore. Al Gore stands to become a billionaire from his heavy investments in Beyond Meat.
This is disturbing because we know Dr. Stone generally does whatever DISD does. She alluded to this in her latest YouTube video at 3:00: https://youtu.be/BDuAiRLESdY
Here’s my suggestion…if our kids are going to be forced into some blended/hybrid edtech model of at-home learning, why should we allow the district to collect the **WADA/ADA?
The schools get paid from the state and federal government for the number of kids in the seats. Under this technology dependent model they will likely eliminate 20% of our teachers.
**ADA is the number of students in average daily attendance, or the sum of attendance for each day of the minimum number of days of instruction as described under the TEC, §25.081(a), divided by the minimum number of days of instruction.
**WADA is the weighted average daily attendance figure used in several state funding formulas to calculate the amount of state and local funds a district is entitled to.
I guarantee that if we threatened to starve them of the funding by unenrolling our kids, they would open schools promptly on August 19. The same goes for our colleges. Why should we pay these exorbitant costs for our kids to go to online school?
They know that if they open school in the fall, some worried parents won’t send their kids which will cause them to lose money for each one. If they do a blended model, they can ensure the money will still come regardless of whether the kids ever enter the building. You see?
Open school in the fall or pull your kids. You are doing most of the work anyway. Teachers, you would be wise to support opening back up because your jobs don’t exist much longer in this technocratic future. Betsy DeVos and Jeb Bush are making their rounds pushing “distance learning” and vouchers. They want the schools empty.
And another post from her:
Jeb Bush published this op-ed in the Washington Post today. If he gets his way, our kids will not be going back to bricks + mortar schools. You think it sounds impossible, but that’s the sad reality. Jeb and DeVos have been pushing and funding virtual K-12 for years. They also want school vouchers and will never let a crisis or pandemic go to waste (see Katrina and charter schools).
Jeb wrote:
“Some might push back against these measures, but the benefits are clear: Such changes would better enable students to learn. They would be better prepared for the learning platforms of college and the workforce. Teachers would be able to deploy more innovative and personalized instructional strategies. Distance learning has the capacity to help students go deeper where their interests take them and get more focused attention in areas where they’re struggling. And Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, dual-enrollment courses and other intensive offerings could be expanded in districts where they are not currently available.”
RISD: Just yesterday Dr. Stone put out a video asking for our input on a survey that will be coming out this week. Please look for it. 👀 If we want to preserve our neighborhood schools, we need our kids to attend them. Distance learning is an oxymoron. You can’t serve special needs kids on a device. You can’t teach kids to read from a device. The schools will still collect money for each child enrolled regardless of whether their buns are in the seats. (I suspect our DOI plan will be revisited)
Teachers, the legislature is already talking about cuts to the state budget because of the oil crisis and drop in revenue. This will make the 2011 cuts pale in comparison. Let’s assume 80% of you can keep your “virtual” teaching job. Do you want to be a data dashboard driver and virtual instructor? 
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
It’s awful that people whose careers were destroyed by this economic reset are about to be pushed into AmeriCorps to carry out surveillance on their fellow citizens for ridiculous wages. Important to note that AmeriCorps is a sibling program to the Social Innovation Fund that seeds social impact investing / pay for success projects. This whole situation is just so sickening.
My understanding is they will get paid $20 to $25 per hour!! We are gonna have an army of uneducated, uninformed people stalking and detaining us. This is scary stuff! You could not have thought this up in a science-fiction horror novel.
Wonder if there will be quotas…
I don’t know, but if they are wanting to test millions per week/month, then I would imagine they would have quotas and bonuses as incentives.
Leaderboards even? Honestly, based on what I am seeing Bloomberg and Johns Hopkins are going to be setting up the training of these people as an online competency-based education human capital investment market. It is layers and layers of awfulness.
you could create a leaderboard much like in gaming. In fact, blockchain is perfect for leaderboard creation and is in fact used in games today with blockchain as the anchor. So, I can see tokenization being developed there and thus a market made for impact investors.
So this is part of a transcript from one of the talks. I’ll finish with a transcribed statement Joseph Turow, a Penn Annennberg Professor of Communications, delivered following Zuboff’s presentation at that 2017 Digital Tornado Conference. It confirms what I have laid out regarding IoT, branding, and the ways government policies and human capital management are being inappropriately influenced by powerful corporate interests. Why are we all not shouting this from the rooftops? What exactly are we waiting for? “They both reminded me of two industry experiences I had directly relating to this that will lead to a comment about the nature of policy. I was at an industry conference about a year and a half ago, two years ago maybe, and people were talking. It was a conference on the use of the Internet of Things in business, particularly in retailing. And one of the people at the conference who was an executive at the WPP, one of the major advertising holding companies, said: “We have to treat people like a frog in boiling water. We have to figure out a way to make them slowly get used to the idea of what we’re doing, because otherwise they’ll resist.” There’s this myth, I think it’s a myth, that if you put a frog in water that’s boiling it will jump out. If you put it in the water and it slowly boils, it will get used to it. He didn’t want to kill his audiences, but he wanted people to get used to the ideas that they were formulating. Not too long after he spoke, a researcher for one of the big advertising holding companies got up and showed slides with trend lines that by 2024 half of Americans are going to have a chip in their arm, so when they walk down a supermarket aisle, the supermarket will know that they feel nervous when they lift a product up, and they might be able to get rid of that nervousness by lowering the price directly for that thing, and thereby know how to sell that product. He then added that he thought by 2050 everybody in the United States would have this chip. The first guy, I felt bad for him, I didn’t put his name in the book. The second person, because it was online I figured it was fair game. Apparently, they’ve taken that slide off. But the larger point that I am trying to make here is that there are industrial logics that are taking place that really relate to a kind of policy that we’ve been, that has been underplayed in the last couple of days. It’s been implicit, but I still think I’d like to foreground it, which is corporate marketing and commercial policy. Companies have ideas about where they’re going. And it’s networked systems of companies, particularly in the marketing arena, that are shaping the kinds of things we’ve been talking about in the last couple of days. They also shape government policy in very strong ways, and I think it’s terribly important to realize how these things interconnect with one another. A year after the Tornado piece came out (1998), Procter and Gamble had a conference called FAST, and it was in Cincinnati in their headquarters and it stands for “Future of Advertising Stakeholders,” and I was at that conference. And they invited their competitors. Unilever was there, which is pretty amazing, and a whole lot of people from ad agencies and media buying companies and stuff like that. The goal of the conference was to get the Internet workable for Procter and Gamble. They didn’t think that the Internet was acceptable to them at the time. It was too slow. It wasn’t viable for commercials. They didn’t know what the metrics were, and they wanted to set up a way to set that up. They invited Steve Case to give a talk, Steve Case the head of AOL, at lunch. He freaked a lot of people out, because during the talk he said Americans do not want broadband. P&G wanted broadband, see, to show the commercials. He said Americans don’t want broadband, and they don’t care about broadband, because AOL, and he didn’t say this, because AOL was really dependent on the idea of dial-up. But from that time on P&G, which had already started the interactive advertising, it was then called the Internet Advertising Bureau, really decided together with other companies to set the policies that a lot of people the past couple of sessions have been talking about. The notions of personal assistants, the notion of AI, the notion of how advertising messages are going to be conversational-what I would call “conversational advertising,” based on who we are. The industrial constructions of audiences is not just an issue of government policy, it is an issue of interconnection of government policy with the logics and desires of the industries that relate to them.” November 2017 Kevin Werbach, After The Digital Tornado Conference After the Tornado 12 – Humanity 2 Discussant: Joseph Turow, Annenberg School of Communication Presenters: Shoshana Zuboff, Harvard, and Brett Frischmann, Villanova
I’m at a crisis with my career. I don’t know what direction to go. I’ve invested heavily over 30 years in game design and AI, and did work with blockchain and other technologies. Where do I go from here?
Sending you a big hug my friend. These are uncharted waters indeed, and you are doing a profound service in bringing us along. I think many of us are trying to figure out what comes next and trying to hold on to some agency around our futures. There’s so much grief. Please know you are appreciated. We make the path by walking. And there are a lot of us walking.
All I know is that my heart tells me the direction we’re heading is not good. I may end up sabotaging my career and my method of income, but I can’t stand by knowing what I know and not sound the alarm and warn people of what this technocracy will bring.
And another post from her:
The head of Belgium’s Covid-19 Task Force has a PhD in BioTech, an MBA, and a certificate in Private Equity-Investing & Creating Value from Wharton. He is the head of Digital Transformation and served as a member of European Parliament. We are living through the dawn of an age of straight up biocapitalism. Watch this video. It is a wake up call
Allright, I see Masonic handsign there thrown by De Backer. Funny how it works, because Freemasonry seems to be a common denominator between the whole process. Australian COVID committee “ expert” Brendan Murphy’s Mercy Hospital in Melbourne ( he was a CEO there for over 15 years) received a funding from Freemasons as well( they are listed as sponsors).
Can you please look into Australian links sometime? Prof Brendan Murphy( a nephrologist , how did he ended up being the outmost medical voice behind COVID response in Australia? Beats me) Neville Power ( ex CEO Fortesque Metals) Andrew Forrest( Fortesque metals owner) Prof Raina McIntyre ( Australian Head of Biosecurity)— linked to genetics research; practicing Kabbalist Prof Sharon Lewin( TB research, AIDS research, granted 30 million +20mlion AUD for “ COVID research) Dr Norman Swan Given that common denominators are Biosecurity , genetic research, biotracking, tuberculosis, AIDS, meningitis , freemasonry and Kaballah, whatever they are cooking is going to rip Australia apart.
You know about Jane Halton at Event 201?
Something makes me think that she is full of goodness & integrity 😂😂😂😂
Can you read this? I’ve hit paywall. Also: I’ve told you —- I love true crime. My research on Fred & Rose West ( serial killers)& covens of Forrest of Dean pointed me to the FACT that Fred was a procurer of children for covens in the area & higher. Gloucestershire is famous for its abundance of witch covens, and if you are not familiar with the West case, I can tell you that it haunts me in my nightmares : paedophilia, torture & murder of children & adolescents, snuff, west’s raped ALL their children on camera , etc (and enjoyed police protection for some 30+ years). West’s best friends from the area, Pauline Crichton & her husband had their backyards dug by cops in search for bodies as late as 2013-2015). BS aside, statistic probability of 2 serial killers living in one very remote area is unreal, and Jane just had to be from the same area. Everything I know points me to the fact that only these who swear allegiance to “ the craft” make it to the very top. Halton was born in Gloustershire —- and REQUESTED to come & take a leading position in Aust government & Aus public service from Britain under Gough Whitlam government. SRA ( satanic ritual abuse ) whistleblower & survivor Fiona Barnett outed Whitlam as paedophile who raped her between ages of 6 and 8 yo). Whiltlam is the PM who specifically REQUESTED Halton to come from Britain & take the position in Aus public service, as by decree of the king or pharaoh. She was not ELECTED, she was INSTALLED; there is a huge difference. Halton was THE longest serving public servant under Liberal gov( direct allegiance to Royals). These links make my skin crawl.
“Vault Systems attracts Moelis, former mandarins Jane Halton, Dennis Richardson Carrie LaFrenz Carrie LaFrenz Senior reporter Updated Nov 7, 2017 – 9.20am, first published at Nov 6, 2017 – 11.00pm Save Share Moelis Australia has taken a minority stake in secure cloud platform provider Vault Systems, which has also has snared former high-profile bureaucrat Jane Halton as its chair. The ASX-listed financial services group made the investment via its newly created Moelis Australia Government Infrastructure Fund, which is backed by high net worth individuals. The fund will invest in the expansion of Australian government secure cloud services through Vault, which was founded by Rupert Taylor-Price in 2012. Vault Systems is the physical part of the cloud. It does not own the underlying property of its data centres, but owns and operates everything inside a centre. It charges a fee based on consumption – similar to a monthly electricity bill – to tech partners including Fujitsu, Leidos, Unisys, Accenture, and IBM, which are delivering services to government. Vault Systems CEO and founder Rupert Taylor-Price (left) and head of Moelis Asset Management Andrew Martin. Vault government cloud platform was purpose built with the sole intention of managing sensitive Australian data at the highest levels of security. Peter Braig Ms Halton was previously one of the most powerful public servants in Australia as the former Secretary of the Australian Department of Finance. She is also a non-executive director of ANZ Bank. She told The Australian Financial Review she was attracted to Vault Systems as an Australian start-up in a high-tech industry. Advertisement “If you think about the world about where the opportunities are for young people in our country it’s about being employed in these kinds of businesses,” she said. “So when I was approached by Rupert I thought I better put my money where my mouth is, because I’ve been talking about the need for technology and start-ups and innovation and here is a company doing exactly that.” The Moelis-backed investment could help create as many as 300 tech jobs. The business is not profitable as it heavily invests for future growth, but is cash flow-positive. Ownership structure Other high-profile directors include former politician and diplomat, Dennis Richardson, and former global head of infrastructure and private equity for UBS Asset Management, Paul Moy. Moelis will provide up to $350 million in a staged investment over many years, and will raise funds as needed as demand by government agencies increase after the Turnbull government mandated a “cloud-first” policy in 2014. Moelis will initially own 23 per cent of the company, while Mr Taylor-Price will own the balance. But the ownership structure may change over time depending on funding models. Vault System’s government cloud platform was purpose built with the sole intention of managing sensitive Australian data. It is only one of three companies in the world, along with Macquarie Telecom and Sliced Tech, to meet the standards of the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) and achieve Protected certification. Under the ASD, which is part of the Department of Defence, government data is classified into four levels: Unclassified, Protected, Secret and Top Secret. Mr Taylor-Price brushed aside concerns of mega competitors like Microsoft’s Azure or Amazon Web Services looking to muscle in on the market. “While these global providers have data systems in Australia, the security operations, network operations and management of these businesses is done at a global level and is integrated in to commercial services. “So in terms of holding sensitive government information, they don’t have the same level of security and we have not seen they intend to fund that.” Security standards Mr Taylor-Price added while Microsoft is building a public cloud in Canberra, that it not the same as building a government community cloud as they have done in the USA. “The challenge is for these organisations is Australia is not as big as the US market and the cost of running these independent but highly secure systems is quite high,” he said. “Instead, their strategy will be to try to ask government to lower security standards to meet their business model but my belief is they will not fund a change to their business model in Australia. “Last week there was another 50,000 records compromised, I struggle to see ministers lowering security standards in Australia.” Ms Halton agreed, saying while the big players will be trying to offer product in the same sort of domain, they don’t have Protected status, putting them at a disadvantage. “In a world where cyber threats and cyber crimes are becoming increasingly important and where citizens are very concerned that their data is held securely, and government has a real need to make sure its business is not able to be viewed by people who do not have their interest at heart,” she said. “Then having that level of protection is incredibly important.” Mr Taylor-Price said it is highly unlikely Vault Systems will ever list on pubic markets given the highly sensitive information it protects like tax and social security records and matters of national security, like defence and intelligence. Asked if Vault could be the next Atlassian, Ms Halton said: “I don’t know. But bottom line is you never know where tech goes, but certainly [Rupert] has made a great start and we are keen to help him do even better.”
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
Planned Parenthood’s friends over at Amaze know that if they market contraception to kids pregnancy rates and STIs will go up, and so will their bottom line. The rate of contraception failure is higher for teens because of improper use.
Take a look at this video from Amaze, complete with bunnies having sex (yes, they show it!), advice for kids on how to get condoms no matter their age, and a recommendation to visit the local Planned Parenthood.
If CSE proponents were really interested in protecting kid’s health they would invest their time and money in teaching them to avoid risk altogether by delaying sexual debut until marriage.
I really do not like the idea of kids taking puberty blockers for several years followed by a lifetime of hormones. I’ve seen TV stories of one family where both their kids are transgender and another where 3 best friends were all born boys but now suddenly identify as girls.
It’s really sad. The rise in transgenderism can partly be contributed to social contagion.
I think the media is a huge part of it along with parents who have a hard time to say no or in some cases being told they can’t say no or their child will commit suicide.
I encountered a woman whose son was told that and she was terrified.
what was she told?
the threat of suicide is being used to manipulate parents. Look at this:
Her high school son went to a school sponsored LGBT event, they told him if he should be transitioning to a female and he did not there was a high likelihood of him committing suicide. He went home and asked him Mom to please not let him commit suicide, he was scared, which is how she found out. Reading.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
So it looks like they expect us to give up our livelihoods and become indentured data brokers living in a “smart” panopticon. There is still time to say no to this. “Furthermore, much of the high-value data for AI is sensitive personal information (for example health records), and so is either protected by regulation or the understandable reluctance of individuals to share it. Enterprises also generate a great deal of potentially valuable data that they may be reluctant to share for business reasons. Those enterprises or individuals interested in selling their data will find that there is no readily available means for them to monetise it or control the use of their data once it has been sold. On the other side of the equation, procurers of data face quality issues, as it is often difficult for data gatherers to trace the provenance of data or judge its merits. Blockchain could help address many of these issues by supporting the development of decentralised, open markets for AI training data. Blockchains can be used to identify and permanently record individual data points and small data sets at their point of origin, making it possible for information owners or aggregators to package the data they generate.” Page 13
Note their particular interest in “health records” as a “high-value” trustworthy source of info to refine AI. So interesting that we are now being set up to have a standardized test and contact trace system that will likely be linked to electronic health records. Google running all of this behind the scenes with AWS. Are you following how this fits into the Covid-19 puzzle?
Blockchain smart contracts and tokenized digital “assets” will play a major role advancing the “wrong kind of green” financialization of nature.
What happens when your “rights” and “privileges” are tied to a digital ID and live on a device where they can be foreclosed at will? These are things we need to be talking about right now
We really need to start to understand the ways in which “tokens,” smart contracts and sensors will shape the way we live on blockchain. Slideshare here:
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
TESTING, TRACING, CASE INVESTIGATORS and FOLLOW-UP INVESTIGATORS
MACC expects to have a CALL to ACTION in the morning. Please do check in! The TESTING, TRACING, CASE INVESTIGATION and FOLLOW-UP BILL is expected to have a last hearing in the Senate this week. Hearing in the House tomorrow for inclusion into the Health Omnibus Bill. Unfortunately, CONSENT LANGUAGE and DATA OPT-OUT was removed and now this bill will allow major profiling of citizens and healthcare workers. SF 4500 and HF 3479. Both bills are in amended format and not original versions. Testing will be mandatory for all citizens and healthcare workers as well as alternative housing for some.

REAT ARTICLE for information on coming surveillance
“Now, in the midst of the carnage of this ongoing pandemic, and the fear and uncertainty about the future it has brought, these companies clearly see their moment to sweep out all that democratic engagement. To have the same kind of power as their Chinese competitors, who have the luxury of functioning without being hampered by intrusions of either labor or civil rights.”
“All of this is moving very fast. The Australian government has contracted with Amazon to store the data for its controversial coronavirus tracking app. The Canadian government has contracted with Amazon to deliver medical equipment, raising questions about why it bypassed the public postal service. And in just a few short days in early May, Alphabet has spun up a new Sidewalk Labs initiative to remake urban infrastructure with $400 million in seed capital. Josh Marcuse, executive director of the Defense Innovation Board that Schmidt chairs, announced that he was leaving that job to work full-time at Google as head of strategy and innovation for global public sector, meaning that he will be helping Google to cash in on some of the many opportunities he and Schmidt have been busily creating with their lobbying.”
It is strange that the meat packing companies are closing – Remember EchoHealth Alliance CEO has stated in a UN document “There is a single species that is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic — us.” Remember at a UN biodiversity conference many years ago it was stated ” only the wealthy would be able to afford to purchase/buy meat “… .As U.S. meat workers fall sick and supplies dwindle, exports to China soar
How many of you are aware that the DoD was giving money to EchoHealth Alliance ? EchoHealth Alliance is not only fascinated with bats but also declared that bats were the culprit for Ebola, SARS, and now Corona plus EcholHealth was working with the Wuhan Lab in China – Awfully strange bats were in hibernation when Corona virus broke out , isn’t it ? EcholHealth Alliance once was Wildlife Trust but rebranded their name .. Echohealth’s CEO Peter Daszak is a greenie he and others wrote an article for the UN declaring ” “There is a single species that is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic — us.”
The project was run by a U.S. nonprofit called EcoHealth Alliance. For more than a decade, the group has been sending teams to China to trap bats, collect samples of their blood, saliva and feces, and then check those samples for new coronaviruses that could spark the next global pandemic. The idea is to identify locations that need to be monitored, come up with strategies to prevent spillover of the virus into human populations and get a jump on creating vaccines and treatments. Already the project has identified hundreds of coronaviruses, including one very similar to the virus behind the current outbreak.
Nature magazine has censored over 1,000 articles at the request of the Chinese government over the past several years. And it seems pretty clear that their recent article, “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2” is just one more example of their influence.
What if your child has a slight fever without other symptoms, as is so common in the early years, and you want to wait a few days before scheduling a doctor’s visit? Will the state force you to complete a telemedicine check up? Or will they removr your child? Or will they tell you that you can’t leave your house for 14 days (or longer) unless you submit to a Covid test?
This is a regime of terror.
Before commenting that this statement is hyperbole, I urge you to read – and seriously, seriously consider – the field research that is so thoroughly documented at http://www.wrenchinthegears.com. Then Nadezhda Mandelstam’s Hope Against Hope. The swiftest way to fall into totalitarianism is to pretend that it’s no longer possible.
I literally just posted a breakdown of what the Center for American Progress is “demanding” our policymakers put into practice. Short answer: if the Progressive Left in America gets its way then Yes, people will forcibly remove your child from your home if your child has a fever – whether it’s COVID or not, whether you have insurance or not, whether you’ve consulted a doctor or not.
I heard mention of the Center for American Progress earlier today. To truly understand the game, you must understand the players. So, for those of you who aren’t tracking everyone on the chessboard:
The Center for American Progress is a strongly-Left-leaning outlet founded in 2003 by John Podesta – Chairman of Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 campaign. Funded almost exclusively by Soros’ Open Society Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Gates Foundation, etc., CAP works to influence public policy by omitting inconvenient facts and selecting reports which favor the Liberal Progressive agenda in the US while simultaneously using its subsidiary, Think Progress, to actively lie to its diminutive audience with content which is factually dubious at best and rarely more than overt propaganda.
CAP states that President Trump “didn’t act fast enough” to manage the COVID outbreak. This from the same Leftist camp who stated back in February that Trump was “overreacting” by suspending travel to/from China and that COVID was “no big deal.” Also in February, the Progressive Left labeled any concerns about exposure or ideas of limiting group sizes as “racist.” Today, those same Lefties scream and foment at the idea of people gathering in “large numbers” – a term which, like “large capacity magazine,” CAP and its ilk use to stoke fear in their audience without ever putting out a uniform, objective definition or consulting experts in the appropriate field.
Rather than provide a workable solution as to how American households and businesses were supposed to pay their bills in the meantime, CAP – a collection of political activists, not doctors – also “demands” the following erosion of our freedoms:
comprehensive “instantaneous contact tracing” – FYI: there’s no such thing; it literally DOES NOT EXIST, and trying to implement it would require us to live in a complete surveillance state that requires the complete suspension of your 4th Amendment Rights
nationwide surveillance… even in counties where there are no COVID cases reported
public notices a la “Amber Alerts” and real-time mapping of positive patients (HIPPA, anyone?)
restrictions on mass transit
masks required in public (but wait – where can I actually BUY a mask?)
forced removal and isolation of ALL people who test positive (a la UN video from weeks ago…)
forced isolation of ALL persons who come in “close contact” (revealed via contact tracing) with anyone who tests positive; oh, and “close contact” has no set definition…
forced isoation of ALL persons with a fever (what if it isn’t COVID?)
mandatory isolation of healthcare workers (so, nurses can’t go home to their families after work; do we force doctors, nurses, CNAs, LPNs, etc. to live in The Camps now?)
But, hey… make up your own mind. If you want Clintonistas and the Soros Foundation to lead you around by the nose like cattle, please listen to and obey your Leftist masters. After you’ve worn their yoke for a while, you’ll be BEGGING for right-minded folks to lead you back to your God given Freedoms.
Common Core Diva : “Extensive article jam packed with how education, once again, is being made into a change agent against America. Is the CCSS Machine behind it? Absolutely. Is DC creating this? Unconstitutionally, yes.”
Lynne Taylor said on Setting Brushfires radio that the California letter threatening to take away benefits might be a fake; however, she did say that they were allowed to use “whatever force necessary” to get their testing and tracking.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
I fully expect the Department of Defense is paying for the RFID tracking option on the Covid-19 injections. The contract is for up to 500 million doses by 2021. They intend to incorporate our health into their biocapitalist supply chains. Know this. https://www.apiject.com/
Oh look – the founder of the company is a social entrepreneur made “an Officer of the Order of the British Empire” yikes! FOUNDER, HEAD OF R&D: The inventor of ApiJect, the first BFS injection device, is Marc Koska, one of the world’s most respected and successful social entrepreneurs.
Here’s the list of US Senators who voted against an amendment that would have stopped this warrant-less surveillance. VoteThemOut
“A bipartisan amendment that would have prohibited law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI, from obtaining the web browsing and internet search histories of Americans without a warrant failed to pass in the U.S. Senate on Wednesday by a single vote.
Twenty-seven Republicans and 10 Democrats voted against the amendment to H.R. 6172, which will reauthorize lapsed surveillance powers under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The amendment offered up by Sen. Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, and Sen. Steve Daines, Republican of Montana, would have forced the government to get a warrant before obtaining the internet search history of Americans.
The final vote on Wyden-Daines Amendment was 59-37. Sixty “ayes” were required for it to pass. Members had to be physically present to vote. Below is a list of senators, by party, who voted against the reform (and those who didn’t vote at all):
Republicans (27):
Barrasso, John (R-WY) Blackburn, Marsha (R-TN) Blunt, Roy (R-MO) Boozman, John (R-AR) Burr, Richard (R-NC) Capito, Shelley Moore (R-WV) Collins, Susan M.

BILLION STUDENT UNIVERSITIES – “Galloway, a Silicon Valley runaway who teaches marketing at NYU Stern School of Business, believes the pandemic has greased the wheels for big tech’s entrée into higher education. The post-pandemic future, he says, will entail partnerships between the largest tech companies in the world and elite universities. MIT@Google. iStanford. HarvardxFacebook. According to Galloway, these partnerships will allow universities to expand enrollment dramatically by offering hybrid online-offline degrees, the affordability and value of which will seismically alter the landscape of higher education. Galloway, who also founded his own virtual classroom start-up, predicts hundreds, if not thousands, of brick-and-mortar universities will go out of business and those that remain will have student bodies composed primarily of the children of the one percent.” Yep. Also predicted by the Global Education Futures map (GEF).
And… CA State University campuses will stay online this fall. “California State University, the nation’s largest four-year public university system, said on Tuesday that classes at its 23 campuses would be canceled for the fall semester, with instruction taking place almost exclusively online.”
What if a popular hands-free gaming system ended up being used to refine AI motion capture, advancing behavioral biometric surveillance for global financiers looking to leverage pandemic lock down and jumpstart a future of robotic telepresence gig labor? That would sound kind of crazy, huh? Or maybe not.
Yes, like having Amazon drones flying to your doorstep delivering your food, because you’re not allowed out. How much money do you think Amazon would make? A new market in a new economy for Amazon and many other behemoth companies. Welcome to the new industrial age.
This is all the Xbox Kinect stuff- the programs out of UW are startling and of course all of the vaccine development tied into that as well.
Alison they’re all tied together as components to a total system. The underlying components support each other and are interdependent with each other. Lot’s of technology is needed in order to get this Technocratic governance and economy into action. AI motion capture. AI facial and gesture recognition. AI speech and voice recognition. VR simulations. DNA data storage synthesis. And I’m sure that “vaccines” (which will make 100’s of billions of dollars) is the catalyst for acquiring and implementing global ID systems for blockchain transactions. It all interconnects.
I’ve looked at it. I looks like a lot of big and influential players in the development of a technocratic economic system. It does not look like a accident. Does not look like chance. It looks like the implementation of DAVOS WEF and UN SDG. Put into technical action. It’s impressive but also frightening.
So – kind of what you were envisioning? Any big pieces missing I should add? If you think of any related to Microsoft / Gates let me know.
Here is a post from an Ohio anti-Common Core group:
AND SO IT BEGINS!!! If you think this is happening because of a virus you are WRONG. Research CBDG (central bank digital currency) and the term “cashless society.” This has been planned for years before this outbreak. Facebook has already tried rolling out global digital currency but they were stopped thank god. The outbreak has become a means for the powerful to change society for their own benefit, such as taking away our right to use cash to keep the government and corporate America out of our business.
Here is a post from a Washington anti-Common Core group:
Teaching positions are being cut already…
“Facing a $6.3 million shortfall for next school year, the Aberdeen School District will cut the equivalent of 46 teaching positions, and it still has to find another $2 million in cuts. Most of that is likely to fall on the support staff, which would include para-educators who help in the classrooms.
The cuts are due to expected reductions in state funding because of COVID-19 expenses and because of falling enrollment in the Aberdeen district, some of that also likely due to COVID-19.
The orchestra teacher is in that group, putting that program in peril. Head football coach Todd Bridge is a veteran teacher, but in his first year in the district and his teaching contract wasn’t renewed. Coaching contracts are separate, but fall sports are up in the air because of the pandemic.
Nineteen veteran teachers are being asked to move into new positions to backfill for the provisional teachers. But some veteran teachers didn’t have certification matching the classroom needs and that means a cut of another 5.3 positions. The cuts also include the equivalent of 2.7 administrative positions.
The net loss of teachers and administrators is 49. Central Park will have a half-time principal. Derek Cook, principal at Harbor High School, will split time between there and being athletic director at Aberdeen High. All remaining Harbor High teachers will also teach at the high school.”
I do too. Some people get so mad and tell you you have a tin hat on when you try to get the truth out. I wish these people would wake up and research. The main stream media is fake you got to dig deep. The problem is a lot of people work and too tired to research, which is their plan. Television shows, schools to control our children, professors at college, judges, doctors, nurses, politicians, movies, fake news, radio, songs ( some not all) are all part of their plan. Please wake up people before we lose our country or our lives. This pandemic is part of it. Think if they come out with a vaccine the vaccines, Gates and many others want a chip in us, track us. Think about our soldiers, the enemy will be able to track them. Please people start researching!!! Quit saying we need to all stay home and not open our businesses. More and more people will have no money they will be living on the streets. Also check out pedophilia, politicians, Disney, celebrities, underground . This is all a plan!!! Watch Rosa Koire. UN Agenda 2030 exposes to start with.
They cut teachers, but not the Supervisors salary or get rid of any staff, other than teachers. This is how a government agency works, when they cut back, they get rid of the employees that directly help the public, but not anyone away from the public’s eye. That way, you feel the hurt directly, and will be panicked into voting for whatever taxes that will solve the situation. The governments attempt to manipulate you. Happens all the time.
In February, the Highline School District gave a retroactive raise to administrators. I’m not sure if this meant only the people at the district HQ, or the school level administrators as well. The meeting was not video recorded, but audio recorded. I read the transcript, produced by an automated system. Someone, I think a board member, joked about how this was the third time the district had given retroactive raises. I don’t recall what the fiscal impact was, or if there was any discussion of where the funds would come from this year, and also in years to come (local levy? state ?) But I think the amount was 5%, I’m sure the impact is in the millions, and remember this resets the base (bumps it up) for additional step increases. I do not know how many administrators there are, but my sense is the number has gone up in order to implement a lot of programs, like social emotional, and testing. I am putting this out in public because I really think some professional reporters should look into this. But at the elementary my kids attended, they seem to have Principal, Asst Principal, and Success Dean who’s almost like an AP. The latter position is new since my kids were there. Meanwhile, they moved 6th grade out to middle school. I looked up some salaries in the Kitsap news database, and I’m not sure they are fully accurate in some cases. But it was quite a surprise to see that an elementary school principal is now earning (for 500 or so kids) what a high school principal at a school of 1700 was earning just a few years ago. And of course the defined benefit pension is going way up too because of the higher salary. The cost of just the three people per student in the elementary school appeared to be in the ballpark of $900 / student. There are multiple aspects to school finances for 20-21. The first is obviously the state funding per student. But another is what the enrollment will be. I can think of two big factors for enrollment numbers. The first: do kids move because their parents have lost work? This could impact some districts a lot more than others. Second: do more kids exit for Running Start, online public schools like WAVA, or home schooling? We may not know that for a few more months, but the community colleges have had online classes that Running Start kids could take, and I would sure look into those as an alternative to the one hour of work per week that some districts seem to think is acceptable. A number of districts seem to be perfectly fine blowing off, dissing, angering parents whose kids are ready for acceleration. I can tell you from the perspective of having a child in college, this is not fun and games. The costs of college are really high, and if kids enter needing remediation, needing more time to get through pre-reqs they could have taken through Running Start, well, districts are dreaming if they think they will be able to keep a captive audience forever. There are alternatives for some kids whose parents can put in some time and find those alternatives, then make them work. Getting Algebra 1 in 8th grade sets up being able to take Calc in high school. If students want to major in STEM, that Calc is very important. Our district (Highline) is following the strict common core alignment of no Algebra 1 until 9th grade, so I fully expect parents are looking into alternatives.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
What used to be the University of Tulsa is now just Tulsa’s Anchor Institution…
The areas I marked with an asterisk coincide with Oklahoma’s Workforce Development Plan. Job training. I’m sure this collaboration with Tulsa Innovation Labs was planned out years ago – to drive the new world order planned economy.
“Tulsa’s Economic Leadership” (excerpt from an email to TU alumni from Interim President Janet Levit)
“Earlier this week, members of our administrative team and I had an opportunity to hear a presentation by officials from Tulsa Innovation Labs (TIL). This group is focused on positioning Tulsa as a *technology hub and a leader in emerging job sectors. TIL has spent more than two months researching Tulsa’s opportunities; this effort has included conversations with more than 100 stakeholders. While I will leave it to TIL to roll out its findings to the community at large, I can say that TU is poised to play an active role in the proposed economic development initiatives. In particular, our expertise in *cybersecurity, *data analytics, *energy, *engineering, and *healthcare would be key resources. I look forward to working with TIL and others to develop TU’s role in driving Tulsa’s economic future.”
Last year seems a lifetime ago, but even then, cash was no longer king. The greenback had already lost its premier role as Americans’ medium of exchange in dollar terms. Plastic card and digital transactions had taken over. And that’s how stores, restaurants and other businesses seemed to want it.
COVID-19 has accelerated this process for several reasons. Cash cannot change hands at a distance of six feet, and besides, who wants to grab that dirty bill? Sheltering at home means more purchases are being done over the internet.
The move away from legal tender was well on its way pre-virus. Some stores and eateries had stopped accepting cash altogether. If you’re a sandwich shop doing a brisk lunch business, processing plastic takes less time than waiting for someone to fish 55 cents out of their pocket. The restaurant chain Sweetgreen ran a stopwatch and found that cashless payments could be completed up to 15% faster than ones using paper money. That would enable businesses to hire fewer of what we used to call “cashiers.”
The Federal Reserve reports that debit cards are the most frequently used means of paying. Cash is employed in 26% of all transactions and 49% of those under $10. But every age group up through the baby boomers is doing more of them using digital means and plastic than cash. Not surprisingly, millennials lead the pack.
Despite these trends, a few states and cities have passed laws requiring businesses to accept cash, and here’s why: Some elderly people still don’t do technology. They don’t even have a cellphone, much less a PayPal account for transferring money.
Many poor people don’t have credit cards or even bank accounts. Some 6.5% of American households are “unbanked,” according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Cashless establishments discriminate against this group.
The Pew Research Center found 29% of adults reporting that they made no purchases with cash during a typical week. But those making less than $30,000 a year were about four times as likely as higher-income Americans to say they make all or almost all of their purchases using cash.
Given that the average check price at the Dos Toros Taqueria was only $11.50, it seemed odd that the fast-food chain would attempt a nationwide ban on cash payment. But it did before reversing course when forced.
Some of us who are not poor prefer cash for valid reasons. Those wanting to control spending like it because psychologically, cash still feels like real money in a way plastic cards do not. Cash is anonymous, making transactions more private. That protects users from identity theft (though it makes them more vulnerable to pickpockets). Meanwhile, waiters, drivers and hairdressers seem to like cash tips.
For business owners, on the other hand, not having a lot of cash in the register deters robberies and saves them the trouble of hiring armored trucks. And they don’t have to worry about counterfeit money.
Cash has long been a medium for hiding criminal activities. The society that no longer uses it can better monitor drug dealers and tax cheats. The federal government in 1969 made the $100 bill the highest bank note obviously to force drug cartels to carry more bills, making them more detectable. The $500 bill, with William McKinley’s face on it, is no longer issued, as well as the $1,000 (Grover Cleveland) and $5,000 (James Madison) bills.
Of course, there’s nothing new about cashless societies. Centuries ago, peasants typically conducted transactions by bartering — say, trading two sheep for a straw-stuffed bed. Come to think of it, that wasn’t very sanitary during plagues, either.
In the U.S., mobile payments have spiked dramatically since the coronavirus outbreak. The U.K. saw ATM withdrawals drop 60%, according to the BBC while many businesses all over the world are asking customers to refrain from cash payments.

The fact that job openings and hiring did not fall more in March suggests companies held out hope that the recession would be brief, and that they would be able to soon return to previous job search and hiring plans. Data from job sites like Indeed, which are more current, indicate that job openings fell further in April, a sign that businesses are bracing for a lengthier slowdown.
Layoffs jumped the most in restaurants and bars, where they surged almost 20-fold to 4.4 million. Retailers also reported an enormous increase, to 1.1 million in March from 224,000 in February.
The figures lag more recent data such as the April jobs report, released last week, which showed the unemployment rate leapt to 14.7% that month, the highest since the Great Depression. More than 20 million jobs were lost. But Friday’s report, known as the Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey, or JOLTS, helps illustrate how businesses responded to the initial viral outbreak.
U.S. layoffs surged to record high of 11.4 million in March
U.S. factory production plummeted in April by the most in records dating back to 1919
And yet another post from her:
The biggest losers from negative interest rates are people with savings and companies with large cash balances. If interest rates drop below zero, companies will essentially be penalized for holding cash. Instead, many companies will be forced to invest that cash, which is the theoretical justification for negative rates in the first place. By forcing companies to invest and spend money, negative rates in theory will help drive economic growth. That same stimulus also benefits stock investors. In addition to forcing companies to invest cash, negative interest rates also make low-risk sources of investment income, such as savings accounts, CDs and Treasury bonds, unappealing. The lower interest rates fall, the fewer viable options investors have and the more money flows into stocks, driving share prices higher.
The states of the Eastern EU tumble toward their worst economic slump since communism Damage from the coronavirus slammed into the European Union’s fastest-growing region in the first quarter, with more pain coming as the bloc’s eastern members head for the worst recession since the fall of the Iron Curtain.
Here’s a somewhat unsettling throwback from the fall of 2018. There was a conference in Philadelphia on urban reinvestment and they were pitching having hospitals as community anchors – which felt like a really strange thing to choose. I mean we certainly need hospitals, but as community anchors? That felt weird…and now, here we are. Makes me wonder what the future of hospitals is even going to be moving forward. Clearly, though, the big insurance interests have A LOT of capital to plow into human capital investments.
“We recently had the Reinvest Philly Summit here where social impact bonds were advanced as a financial tool in creating economic opportunities, healthy communities, and a “just economy.” The summit emphasized the role of hospitals as anchors in community development, which is somewhat unnerving given Alphabet’s (parent of Google) interests in promoting “Smart City” infrastructure through Sidewalk Labs. A spin-off of Sidewalk Labs is CityBlock, a managed healthcare provider for “complex, urban populations.”
The central premise is around using insurance to patch over “risk” issues with digital ID. Much as credit card companies do. I think it is all related.
I think this is why the push in the US for digital dollar legislation tied to Covid. From Gates / Better Than Cash Alliance.
In the future I sense blockchain tokens will replace currencies and thus the “idea” of money will change in ways most can’t yet wrap their mind around. These tokens will be like loyalty points that can be exchanged for basic items, but I do not believe the people will have control of these scrip systems. I feel like I have to go back and learn more about the dynamics of company towns.
^^^ There is something about the “attention economy.” “Value exchange” in media creation and consumption. I am sensing a lot of it is tied to “reputation” as well. Then there seem to be token economies around mindfulness and meditative states, too. I think that may be what was up with that weird link you shared the other day, but it wasn’t obvious at first glance and I was caught up in other things and couldn’t figure it out. Everything is a commodity in liquid, globalized, micro-free-markets. What progressive economists are talking about this?
That screen shot was for a conference at UPenn Annennberg School of Communication that got cancelled in 2018 – so didn’t happen. This is the link to the same space. http://www.mediafuturesummit.com/#overview

And some replies to this post:
from 2018 : We need a genuinely pro-people government, not a government of the western financial elites, the big corporations and the Indian super-rich that pretends to be pro-people. Our sovereignty to choose our own economic and foreign policies also shouldn’t be in danger. Our government needs to protect the interests of the people of India, and avoid collaborating with elite foreign powers to impose unwise policies – which are also damaging western societies – upon us. One has to write a separate article to point out the socio-economic devastation, loss of civil liberties and massive inequality caused by neoliberal policies in the West, which are now being mindlessly imported into India. The reckless experimentation to forge a ‘cashless society’ has caused unprecedented loss and suffering, comparable to the brutal misdeeds of the colonial past. But colonialism is not dead; it has resurfaced as neo-colonialism in the guise of pro-corporatism neoliberal ideology – that Noam Chomsky ideates is destroying democracy – which is in the process to re-colonize the world on the behalf of unelected western elites – Brett Scott’s ‘Big Finance’. Sovereignty and Demonetization Enquiry The issue of sovereignty – to choose economic and foreign policies which might not synchronise with the policies backed by the dominant Western powers: US and ‘Big Finance’ – is also a crucial issue of our times. I hope greater awareness and public debates will ensue in the regard to the collaboration/coercion/meddling by vested foreign powers – elected and unelected – upon the policies of India, the dangers of becoming a vassal / client state and losing our traditional non-aligned status. Sovereignty lies at the very root of moral, intellectual, emotional and spiritual nourishment of a person, and also of a nation. India has fought the brutal exploitation of colonialism and imperialism to gain sovereignty, freedom and independence. But the battle is not over; we suddenly need to fight in the 21st century to keep it that way.
Here is a post from the Florida anti-iReady group:
TN: they need to pay almost $16 million since cancelling end of year tests (they would have paid about $5 million more normally) How about we scrap the testing? And pay our teachers what they are worth, smaller class sizes, have reading and math specialist, evidence based programs like OG, Wilson and Barton for ESE kids.
Side note: Florida’s contract with AIR is $220 million for a 6 year contract which amounts to $36 million. (According to 2014 numbers)
Hello Parents, I opted my kindergartener out of iReady from the get-go because the only reason it exists is to make money for a massive corporation and politicians. I have no interest in discussing the intricacies of the program b/c it was done in bad faith. With that said, my kid was the only one that opted out in her classroom, and I think in her entire class. Parents seemed to be very compliant with the school demands, which I understand. Things have changed. After the last two weeks of diagnostics, I am now getting calls from frustrated parents that might have never really given thought to the program before and are now questioning its validity. How do I seize on this opportunity? The PTA is not a viable choice as they only exist to raise funds and advocate for the school. There’s no real parent organization that’s there to advocate for the kids. Opting out is a powerful choice but it needs to be done en masse to send a message to the powers that be. Have any of you been able to create parent groups to influence school/district policy?
And some replies to this post:
You need to get in touch with the superintendent. They are the ones to make the decision on i-ready.
I don’t even try with the parent groups, but people come to me “on the side”‘and ask how to opt out…i always direct them to these groups to learn more. I think a lot more parents will be opting out next school year. I have, however, spoken at school board meetings and sent emails to the superintendent and school board members. The more people that write to the school board, the better.
same but we no parents here that speak up. Maybe 4 of us sporadically.
I’m afraid no one else will really be able to help, because they aren’t going to go against the district and they are trained, and have workshops after workshops. Plus, in many schools it’s the only curriculum. There are books to teach from also. Student copies and teacher manuals that support the computer program. With all that money dumped in it’s unlikely they will listen. I would ask when the next curriculum adoption is and how to get involved.
I am following. I threw in the towel and homeschool my 4th & 6th grader now. I have an upcoming PreK kid and I would really like to get her into K without all this nonsense. I would do anything to help.
I am thinking that the most powerful people left are parents and having a en masse opt-out would force change. Advocacy (speaking out, writing letters, etc.) needs to continue parallel to this but a show of force is also necessary. This time is ripe for starting local initiatives that are as much about support as they are about opting out. The only obstacle I see I terms of getting people on board is that opting out seems…hard. I am just getting my feet wet as my kid is only 6.
opting out isn’t hard. It’s dealing with brainwashed admin and teachers that’s hard. I had my son’s PII deleted completely so he doesn’t take do any online curriculum that requires a unique log in. That’s what you want to fight, not the individual programs or companies. I assure you, if IReady goes away, there’s another shitty program taking its place.
Dealing with the teachers and admin can be hard for some families. The pushback/pressure is always there so it’s better if you can get support from other families in your school community that are doing the same. I have no interest in fighting a corporation, this is about cutting the cord entirely regardless of who’s at the other end. Opting out can be used not just as a way to protect your children but also to steer the direction of the education system.
that’s why we don’t do anything that requires a unique log in…Nothing!
We are generally the only one in our class too. There’s maybe 2 of us in each of my children’s grade. We were one of 2 that opted out of FSA as well last year. Many parents I know don’t like it but their kids continue to do it. 🤷🏻♀️
I was looked at like I had 3 heads when I mentioned opting out (FSA) or refusing (iReady). The PTO even renamed field day to FSA fun day.
I remember the first year we moved here and mentioned it to a teacher about opting out of FSA and got home and and a call from the testing coordinator with lots of lies I learned later. We opted out the following year and I told them to not to bother having the testing coordinator as I knew our rights and there was no changing our minds. We have had no issues. We did have issues with opting out of iReady diagnostic but will not again. FSA fun day 🤦🏻♀️
what were some of the lies?
telling me opt out isn’t allowed and that my son would be placed in remedial classes in middle school (he was in 5th when we moved here). My husband at the time was too nervous for repercussions. I researched and learned and know statutes and advocate for my kids 💯
they will tell you anything to get you to comply
And yet another post from this group:
Hello everyone, it’s my first post on this chat. Since I’ve been homeschooling and working at the same time. I was shocked!! When the Iready diagnostics came up. I have a 4th, 6th and 7th grader. My 6th grader is on a 504 plan and the reading questions he was getting on the diagnostic were for a highschooler! My son was so frustrated and he kept telling me ” mom I don’t know this, we haven’t been taught this. What do I need to do in order to get them out of doing iready? All it does is frustrates them, sometimes in tears..they feel dumb, mad because they don’t understand why they’re tested on things they haven’t been taught. I can’t imagine other kids out there that might get spanked because they don’t ” bring their numbers” up and parents don’t realize how iready works.
And some replies to this post:
I havent had my kids do it since we started distance learning. Its really garbage and not needed. My 2nd grader is considered “gifted” and even he gets frustrated, says he doesnt understand. My 5th grader also has a 504 and an anxiety disorder, it used to make him so mad, I just stopped it.
I live in South Florida..Lots of Latino families..like mine..I didn’t spank my kids, but I use to tell them that they didn’t do well because they weren’t paying attention to the teachers….come to find out a week ago today..that 50% of what’s in diagnostic is not taught! It’s a guessing game and your guesses better be right….( sarcasm) Crazy!
We don’t use Iready. But as a teacher I think it’s fair to say that diagnostic assessments are going to give a variety of questions of varying difficulty. Students should do their personal best and if they get them wrong, they will soon see less challenging questions. It’s not a pass/fail assessment. It’s trying to identify strengths and weaknesses in these areas. But, again, my own kids opt out.
but also used for k-2 teachers VAM which affect how they get paid and another way to retain kids in 3rd grade. It’s also really hard to explain to a young child especially in K or 1st grade when they are getting super difficult questions that they shouldn’t know the answers because it’s not age appropriate.
Exactly what you said is what the councelor told me, but they put a lot of emphasis on the results. When my son didn’t go up points on the assessment. I would get a phone call, a letter I needed to sign and the scores highlighted as if he had just committed a crime.
IReady doesn’t bother me, I sit with my son and assist him and anything he wasn’t taught we research.
but that doesn’t happen at school. It’s supposed to be teacher led but it’s not. At our school we had 19 kindergarteners with headphones on.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
That worst-case scenario has been revamped as we speak. The notion of a generalized obligatory confinement is not warranted by any medical justification, or leading epidemiological research, when it comes to fighting a pandemic. Still, that was enshrined as the hegemonic policy – with the inevitable corollary of countless masses plunged into unemployment. All that based on failed, delirious mathematical models of the Imperial College kind, imposed by powerful pressure groups ranging from the World Economic Forum (WEF) to the Munich Security Conference. Enter Dr. Richard Hatchett, a former member of the National Security Council during the first Bush Jr. administration, who was already recommending obligatory confinement of the whole population way back in 2001. Hatchett now directs the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), a very powerful entity coordinating global vaccine investment, and very cozy with Big Pharma. CEPI happens to be a brainchild of the WEF in conjunction with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Only a crisis, actual or perceived, produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function; to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes politically inevitable Naomi Klein in The Shock Doctrine quotes Milton Friedman
Interesting that our own government helped fund the biolab in China through EchoHealth Alliance and of course the CEO of EchoHealth Alliance blames “us” as the reason for this virus – Hmm, I have heard of lame duck excuses but this one tops the cake – Oh and by the way Echohealth Alliance is very much a supporter of the “green climate ” ” Gaia ” , ” Mother Earth ” agenda … EchoHealth Alliance was formed by the merger of The Wildlife Trust and the Consortium for Conservation Medicine in 2010. Founded under the name Wildlife Preservation Trust International in 1971 by British naturalist, author, and television personality Gerald Durrell, it became The Wildlife Trust in 1999. In the fall of 2010, the organization changed its name to EcoHealth Alliance. The rebrand reflected a change in the organization’s focus, moving from solely a conservation nonprofit which focused mainly on the captive breeding of endangered species, to an environmental health organization with its foundation in conservation. EcoHealth Alliance partners with USAID on the PREDICT subset of USAID’s EPT [Emerging Pandemic Threats) program ] PREDICT seeks to identify which emerging infectious diseases are of the greatest risk to human health.
EchoHealth Alliance Peter Daszak is a zoologist who works in China and runs the EcoHealth Alliance, an organization that studies the connections between human and wildlife health.
There’s plenty of speculation over the origins of the pandemic that has ground much of the world to a halt. But there’s little doubt about who caused it. As a panel of international scientists noted in a release issued this week, “There is a single species that is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic — us.” The statement — authored by professors Josef Settele, Sandra Díaz, Eduardo Brondizio and zoologist Peter Daszak — goes on to point the finger squarely at our obsession with “economic growth at any cost.”

Conclusion – . . . the epidemic has caused to appear with clarity is that the state of exception, to which governments have habituated us for some time, has truly become the normal condition. There have been more serious epidemics in the past, but no one ever thought for that reason to declare a state of emergency like the current one, which prevents us even from moving. People have been so habituated to live in conditions of perennial crisis and perennial emergency that they don’t seem to notice that their life has been reduced to a purely biological condition and has not only every social and political dimension, but also human and affective. A society that lives in a perennial state of emergency cannot be a free society. We in fact live in a society that has sacrificed freedom to so-called “reasons of security” and has therefore condemned itself to live in a perennial state of fear and insecurity.
As I have stated in the past all it takes is using common sense among all of us but the government of each country did not give us the opportunity to make our own decisions, to use our own God given common sense ..
Just what we need a military – corporate public / private partnership! Thanks.
While in a conversation with a friend of mine about Facebook and “fact-checkers”, a friend of ours posted this:
there is a push to put all history and reading material on blockchain. In fact, I think (I may be wrong) that the entire Library of Congress Is on a blockchain. Which means that all “official” history and books would have to come from a blockchain that you would need access to and rights. Otherwise, it will not be deemed credible. This is something I read a few years ago and I thought was pretty alarming.
And some replies to this post:
yes, i’m sure that’s where this is going. I’ve been buying paper books like crazy. I want my children to be able to read without the voyeuristic technocratic spying on them – at least as long as that’s possible, anyway. I have a hunch that rare books and artwork will be security for cryptocurrency. They’re removing many European masterworks from our museums permanent exhibits. So i’ve been buying quality art books as well.
yes, so you’re already aware. They have started tonormalize the idea that you do not own books with “books” such as Kindle. You only borrow the books. And there are digital libraries where each book can only be borrowed if it is not taken by someone at the moment. So, you have to wait till that digital book is “available” when all they have to do is make a copy for you to read. But, they don’t, because that is how blockchain based books will become. You’ll have to have a lot of reward points and special access creds for high valued books that are checked out temporarily until it’s your turn.
Is it just the library of Congress or do you think they’re going to eventually put all of the “valid” stuff on there so anything in print will be deemed “invalid” merely for not being on the blockchain network?
Granted, so far, I think would be VERY dangerous to online digital conversations and source sharing if such a system were put in place, but I can’t yet see how it in and of itself could stop people talking off the grid, unless there was lots of 6G and 7G around listening to every word and noticing someone stating a “falsehood” that didn’t align with the “official” stuff on the blockchain. However, with them stopping teaching cursive (in many places) and reducing lessons on spelling, it’s possible that they could simply get rid of English and every other language. This new language would be the only official language of business, education, etc. That way, the only people would could have access to the old stuff in the first place would be outlaws (true, older people would have it, but only the older people who defied the system and passed it on to their kids and so on would still have it in the family and those descendants would be outlaws then).
eventually, all tangible assets will be on blockchains, smart contract blockchains, to be more exact. So yes, ALL physical and “tangible” assets.
yes exactly! If the information is all on a blockchain (so much for decentralization), then it’s binary signature can be detected if there is an attempt to copy/paste without permission, or copyright infringement.
yes, facebook and google would use it a lot, along with youtube (google)
That brings up another question I’m wondering: what about the Dark Web? I’m a bit confused there, as, on the one hand, Tor was originally designed by the government, but supposedly all sorts of people use it and don’t get caught. Is there a way to make a “dark web”, either the main one or a network of computers that are hidden from the rest of the world, kind of like a private internet? Supposedly companies already may have such systems to keep proprietary information safe and I’m sure the government does as well. Could we build such a thing?
the answer to all those questions is Yes, Yes, Yes and more Yes. You can build another internet just with private servers/gateways. You can have private networks and hook them up. It does not have to use DNS domain names. YOu can create your own IP addresses that others can access and grant your own access and rights to users. So yes to all of the above.
Also, I might add that another thing they are doing is vilifying the liberal arts (old books/history) and pushing STEM, STEM, STEM. So we’ll be building the code that will produce our own enslavement while treating as “bad” the very works of the past that will be most dangerous to the elites.
With them handing over the Internet to ICANN, which is globalist, I think that, at some point, they’ll deplatform you if you don’t tout the party line anyway, so avoiding the DNS domain name is a necessity.
yes, they want to get rid of the books that initiated the enlightenment age and now just want people to learn modern day field plowing tools.
yes, you don’t need DNS to communicate, but you wont have one for the general population, but that’s okay.. small price to pay.
Am I right or way off in assuming that, at some point in the future, that all computers will be like a Chromebook, where everything is accessed online, only it will be via a cloud. You won’t have Word or anything that you own but would access it (and probably have to pay for it every year. I know they’re doing it now with Office 365 but you can still get the regular Office, they just don’t update it like they do 365.) So you would no longer own your Word, your Age of Empires (fun game), your Photoshop, etc. Am I right or am I too paranoid?
Also, my other concern, especially after, about a year ago, the computer DVD player repair guy said that they were having to repair more of them (or something like that) as they weren’t trying anymore when making them as they were planning to head toward all streaming (or something like it) and no DVDs in the near future. So my fear is that there is going to be a time where you cannot see Pinnochio, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars (the original 6), The Ten Commandments, etc without paying for some streaming service from Disney or some other megamedia company. You wouldn’t be able to own your own copy anymore (unless you could make your own DVD or VHS player bootleg). Though the problem with making a bootleg DVD or VHS is that you can only play them so many times before they get worn out and the data would be lost. In short, Disney or whomever would block access to it unless you paid for it.
And you guys think it’s going to be the same, with authors in the future writing more toward digital than paper books and with old books being converted to digital.
And once the books and movies are all digital/streaming, the censorship will begin and they’ll destroy anything they don’t want. out there.
As for blockchain, is it like a giant OneDrive in the cloud, only it stores information about you and could hold currencies too?
And it could be used as encryption too to block access unless you pay a fortune for a service or if you’re part of the 1% allowed to access it.
actually, you are very correct! The internet is already going through this transformation. The standards have already been created. The plan is to make something like Etherium become the operating system for an internet that becomes one giant computer. All transactions (not just monetary) will be via an internet that is based on smart-contract blockchain. It is the internet that Tim Lees-Berner says he wishes he had created (he’s the inventor of the WWW). So yes, the soon to be there internet will have EVERTHING-as-a-service coming to you via some tablet or sorts. No more owning any digital assets. You lease or rent it. No more copying it either and no more local storage. Oh, and you’ll need to bring your digital ID.
if you have your own computer and you converted everything, you’d still be able to access your own material, but if the OS changes on your old computer and you install a new one, then you’re out of luck.
if the hardware is of this time period and not future made processors, then you’d be okay.. you’d have a legacy system and a legacy network
And that’s REALLY why they want the 5G and connectivity. It’s not so that everyone can access school or work stuff in remote areas, it’s so they can bring us into their system and force us out of the old ones that aren’t under their thumb.
you’re right about the 5G. It’s about changing our economy. It’s part of an economic Reboot.
6G will be about Ai-to-AI communication.
The problem with the newer hardware is it’s planned obsolescence. The past ones 10 years ago were made to last 10 or so years. The current ones were made to intentionally die after 4 or 5. I kept wondering why my old stuff seemed to last longer than the new ones. My family thinks I’m just rougher on my newer laptops and stuff, and maybe I am, but I think, deep down, they’re being designed bad on purpose and that updates from Windows and other stuff are deliberately sabotaging it, trying to make ti die sooner so I’ll have to go onto newer and newer systems.
personal computers will be around for a long while since developers cannot work without them. We developers need faster processors and large local data storage that can’t be done with tablets. So, you don’t have to worry about that. But they are getting lesser in quantity since the average person if fine with a phone or tablet or lightweight laptops.
and I think you’re right about the planned obsolescence.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
In my opinion, transnational global capital’s Fourth Industrial Revolution program benefits greatly from distraction and division generated by social media feeds steeped in identity and partisan politics. Look behind the curtain. If we want to confront racialized biocapitalism, should be focused on the World Economic Forum, Davos, the World Bank, the OECD, the WHO, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
And some replies to this post:
If dependence on their ‘System’ is maintained none of that will matter… why confront something that could much easier be made irrelevant by not complying and not participating and simplifying out lives to the point where their institutions are unnecessary…. I’m all for gaining knowledge as to how the ‘System’ works and have dedicated much time to it myself.. but.. at what point do you suggest we take action on things within our actual sphere of influence.. which is in our personal lives and our personal environments… not in some ivory tower. somewhere …
I believe there is an education component – both as to the changing nature of the system as well as the history of resistance to enslavement, as well as putting resources into making the preferred future manifest. I don’t think there is a way to escape it. See Gates and satellites and targeted weapons.
Yep.. totally agree.. wasn’t meant as a criticism of your work in any way.. i get a lot out of your posts and you are by far the most knowledgeable person on these Systems… I’m just calling for a degree of balance that I’m not seeing… in fact I’m mostly seeing.. even among the ‘truth seekers’ .. a call for the very System they are supposedly against to somehow also be their savior from itself.. and that has GOT to be sidelined right now before it goes any further.. not saying you are doing this as I have chatted privately about this and know that is not the case… but I have seen this among the general followers… technology and dependence on institutions is a vile addiction that need some serious intervention and the sooner the better… once all this tech you describe is fully in place it will be harder if not impossible.. we have a small window of time to continue to use ‘their’ tools against them such as communicating over the internet as we’re doing now.. let’s not waste it… wanted this to be more eloquently written but am in a rush.. hope it makes sense…
Maybe we should worry about keeping our own spirits intact rather than whether we can ‘escape it’ or not…
yes, we could walk away and work on our own spirits, but what about our kids and grandkids? Do we not owe them a chance to not live in digital prison, unlike anything we’ve ever imagined? It would be easier walking away, resuming our lives, but is that what we should do? I’m battling that question everyday, but I keep thinking about our kid’s future. They cross my mind everyday. I think that is the bigger question.
I totally get that optimally it would be great for lots more people to be able to disconnect and become self-sufficient outside modern society. That said, most people are not in position to secure land to do that now. Also it is not easy to abandon a career, home, maybe even loved ones to do that. I for one still love my city, even thought I see the prison they are turning it into. So I will not pass judgement on those who are making their way outside of the system. That may even be me one day – but honestly I know how much I don’t know and it is really intimidating. Until then I will use my position to expose this and shine and light and welcome doing that with others who share the same outlook.
remember the discussion we had, when we first met, when I told you that governments, and agencies were placing all tangible and physical assets on blockchains for the past 4-5 years? They have done so and are still doing so. Going to the blockchain are deeds to land and real-estate, water, minerals, etc. Eventually, in a purely digital age, you will not have access to land unless you are given access to that land via cybersecurity. If you do not have the digital credentials, you will be removed from said land. In a digital future, you’ll need digital credentials and authorization for any kind of (blockchain) transaction. If you need fresh water, food, fuel, etc, you’ll need proper digital validation. Eventually, no one will be allowed to drive cars. You’ll have to use self-driving cars. But, you wont be allowed to travel in them if you have not been rewarded your Boost tokens based on UN SDG contribution points. No contributin, no tokens. No tokens, no travel, “money”, food, medicine, etc. So, living outside the system might not be possible. Our globe is being turned into a global prison. We need to think further.
The vast majority of people have never heard of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and all it entails. National party politics are utterly irrelevant now yet in Britain social media is saturated with age old red and blue party politics. People are so entrenched and angry and divided there is little chance of them taking anything new on board. They just want to fight the age old fight. The working class have no voice and haven’t for the last 30 plus years. They and we are the only hope for change and resistance. They intuitive ‘get it right’.
Absolutely 🙌 Identity politics isn’t meant to empower and uplift. It’s designed to facture and divide and maintain divisions. It cannot function and ceases to exist in an MLK philosophy of unity beyond the colour of skin or differences in genitals – that your character, behaviour and values are what matters. Take it a step furthebr and that is at the core of most religions. That your eternal soul is your true identity, not the material package it happens to be in. Identity politics chains people to the most superficial indentification of self and others. I frequently watch those intoxicated with identity politics, say the most prejudicial, racist, offensive, reductive things about others, oppressing and attacking them without even realising they are being the very thing they think they are fighting against. Having people squabble over tiny words and terminology as if it were life and death. Truly fighting over nothing. I think it fits into ego attachment and narcissism. Popular culture, celebrity culture, music, and then social media have all fed the glorification of self and created societal levels of narcissism. When you assume and base who you are on identity politics, you can’t let that go otherwise “you” cease to be relevant or exist. You even hear people say that their right to exist is threatened by someone else not using a pronoun like “she”, if the person is a biological male. I think it has all been encouraged to fracture, divide and distract and not just from those in power, but to the very core of what it means to be human, to be kind and to put others before yourself. I think the removal of religion and awareness of all this was a precondition to enabling the current state.
Here is a post from a firend of mine:
How many eviction notices were served last month? Who owns those properties? Watch for Pay for Success programs rolling out soon!
And some replies to this post:
I own rental property.. my family and I . We are besides ourselves over this mess. We have one tenant who gets SSI for three of her family members but yet she can’t pay her rent. That was the only reason why we agreed to rent to her because she had proven/stable monthly income . Now we can’t evict her bc of “Covid”
yet, we’re going to see the major corporate real estate speculators turn this debacle into a “perfect” way to stack and pack people into urban centers. Blackrock wins. The rest of us… not so much. 😥
I have a feeling this is the plan. Hoods/ghettos are not designed to build you up. They are designed to keep the lower class in one area. Easier to track and let them kill each other off! Not sure what black rock is. Off to research.
BlackRock investments?
exactly! Like Pottersville.
yes. And there’s Blackstone too. They are buying up all sorts of property to turn it in to e-commerce warehouses. 😨
In this case I think the beneficiary will be Blackstone.
I found this on a friend’s wall: Fed Chair Powell has upwards of $11.6 Million INVESTED WITH BlackRock, the firm that is MANAGING a $750 Billion Corporate Bond Bailout Program for the Fed
here’s where they roll out “inclusive capitalism.”
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
After the Wisconsin Supreme Court Decision — WI DHS to receive new “powers” and up to 150 days, or 5 months. DHS will be working with MDH for Contact Tracing
“Gov. Ton Evers this week announced a plan to restore emergency powers to the Department of Health Services.
Less than 24 hours after the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down SHD Secretary-designee Andrea Palm’s extension of Evers’ Safer at Home order, it was the first step towards allowing the DHS to issue emergency orders without public input or a vote in the Legislature.
Written by the Department of Health Services, the seven-page Statement of Scope was released, and approved by Evers, on Thursday. The Statement is the beginning of the process of creating new administrative rule-making authority for the DHS during a public health emergency, allowing it to issue social distancing orders without permission from the Legislature.
The Scope will be open for public input beginning Monday. Following the 10-day comment period, the DHS plans to publish a draft of the proposed rule.
But the rule is also subject to changes by the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules. Co-chair Rep. Joan Ballweg said it wasn’t immediately clear if the new rule would be a “repeat of the Safer at Home order or something that will be negotiated between the Legislature and [DHS].”
If approved, the new rule could be in effect for up to 150 days (about five months) and could be subject to an extension.
Public input can be submitted to the following members of the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules.”
UPDATE: A friend of my relatives in WI has stated that Evers has, for now, redacted the above. _______________—
Here is another post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
Could this be our Minnesota school model for the Fall? When outlining the rationale for the summer guidelines, the state Department of Education wrote that the hybrid model of in-person and distance learning was “a plausible option for the summer and could serve as a pilot for full implementation in the fall, if needed.”
“A report by the civil liberties group contends that reliance on thermal cameras and temperature-sensing guns to resume work at factories and offices and to encourage travel is flawed and intrusive.”
Which is why I said ‘no’ to these at the very start eight weeks ago. As much as they dislike it, they are becoming conditioned. And parents? The computer or iPad will be the babysitter.
“Remember, in a lot of ways this is even harder for kids than it is for adults Adults had at least been following the COVID-19 news before everything shut down, but kids’ worlds changed in an instant. “A lot of them went to school one day, and the next day it was just … over”
teachers please make old school work packets and focus on place-based activities you can do in your home (think kitchen science) or maybe yard or nearby park—study dirt, rocks and who lived in your area first. let’s finally let our kids learn about local ecology and how everything is connected. start with identifying local trees, and which tribes lived in your area and how did they survive, etc…
this is what USED to happen during hurricane season when I lived in Texas waaayyyy back before everyone had a computer.
Its definitely real. Soooo many of my students have repeatedly expressed that they miss school. And mostly I’m hearing it from the students who admitted to being excited about the time off but then reality sunk in. This just sucks.
Totally, ^^same here. My kids MISS their teachers and miss friends. My kid said I wish I could give them a hug, but I probably won’t even see them again. (Graduating senior)😪
Oh that makes me so sad! Students will be coming to school over several days next week to drop off laptops, clean out lockers, etc. I signed up to be there every day just so I can see their faces from mask up. Interacting with them, even one last time, is something I’m looking forward to….so much so I’m tearing up as I write this. And to do this again next year?? Ugh.
As a teacher who was not allowed to use live instruction, and had to focus on packets, then recorded lessons with digital assignments, and just now finally allowed live meetings on Google meets, first a caveat – they all pale in comparison to real school, of course. But adding live meetings was the best thing to happen during this time and I’ll tell you why. First if all, we are only doing small groups or individual lessons. (I request parents stay for the whole time, since it’s Kindergarten.) Parents are learning how to instruct by watching and listening and asking questions. The children have a renewed motivation for school type activities. And I’m actually teaching. Anyone who know me know I am very outspoken against developmentally inappropriate and/or canned digital learning. I am a proponent for play, hands on, and old school instruction. But in this situation, I am so glad I can now do live meetings. We meet once or twice a week, as the parents sign up for a time slot. And it’s completely optional (for staff as well as students). And the students are over the moon. I also have a friend who teaches middle school on a different district. They began right away with scheduled meetings and her kids have expressed so much appreciation for her time and for the relationship. These kids had real and meaningful relationships with their teachers that were suddenly ripped from their lives. They need and want that to continue for the post part.🤷 I hesitate to admit that here and I’m prepared to be crucified.
Of course I’m only saying for this situation, I find it’s been positive in the manner I am using it. And I pray to God school goes back to what we know and love next year.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
I’ve been saying all along it’s going to be about geo-fencing.
“Holness had earlier announced, during the press conference, that the 1,044 Jamaican crew members aboard Royal Caribbean cruise line’s Adventure of the Seas vessel, who will be allowed to quarantine at home, must consent to being monitored using the technology through the JamCovid19 app, and will be required to do a video check-in multiple times per day.”
From my story written December 2017. “As the economy was digitized, transportation and movement became increasingly circumscribed. No one has personal vehicles anymore, so unless you are walking or have a bicycle, you have to use DigiGo, the autonomous ride sharing system. The system requires you to have a Citi Badge. Access to different sectors of the city varies depending on your citizen score. Each sector has a digital border. Many opt to get implanted Citi Badge chips, which allow you to travel between sectors without manually checking in at each crossing. Citi Badge interfaces are cumbersome, and many of the newer operating systems no longer process device-based transactions.”
Does anyone have a copy of the original Senate Bill of “Goals 2000” that was the. Companion bill for HR6 back in the 1990’s? Because it’s all in there! Common Core, the idiocy happening right now with COVID19, and SOOOO much more. I thought it was defeated, but no it was passed. There’s so much more evil in that bill that we haven’t even seen yet. But it’s coming. How can we get rid of it when it’s already law, passed right under our noses!
Is this what you are referring to or is there a Utah Bill by the same name?
I am aware of the rhetoric, and if I had not read the lengthy document myself, I’d be satisfied with what has been put out there. But I’ve just seen one after another item of Goals 2000 incrementally implemented over the past several decades to doubt their words. Unfortunately, I gave my copy away to a liberal friend of mine who had supposedly reformed, which he did not. That being said, this was all started by the UN and Robert Mueller, the undersecretary general at the time. If I had any advice to give to parents, it would be to take your kids out of public school, and make sure you teach them, at an age appropriate, of what is going on, so they don’t get deceived.
the House Bill was called HR 6, if I could only remember the Senate Bill #. There are a few things I do remember, one thing that has not yet been implemented, and if it ever does, we’ll know it’s still going on probably under the guise of some other bill. It really alarmed me: every child born in a hospital would be assigned a social worker, and that sw would go home with the family, and teach the parents how to raise their child, and WHAT to teach them. The child would have sw from birth to age 18. Also other items in that bill that did pass, business would be heavily involved with public education, and all schools would be called learning centers, and have medical offices on campus, abortion on demand there, and no permission required and no info given to parents. There would also be education for parents at these learning centers. I’m skeptical that everything in that bill died, because so many things that were in it, maybe altered, but still active today.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
A biblical wave of bankruptcies and mortgage defaulting is on the horizon just after the current covid storm has passed. The number of repossessions post the economical crash of 2008 will fade into memory.
We will see an unprecedented number of businesses and homes taken under control of the banks. Without employment people will be forced to leave not only their homes but the communities that they have spent years building. The economical institutions and their henchmen will not be waiting years for court orders.
Free legal help will be cut, your right to fight evictions will disappear. Now is the time to group.
Waiting until the storm has arrived is never the right time to prepare. We have seen local community groups prevail over the last few months when we needed them, now we will need them to step up once again but this time with a louder voice before the storm arrives.
Your elected political representative with their high salary and all it’s perks will not be working on your behalf, it’s the local community workers that understand you. The role of the 1% is to divide us, the role of the community workers is to unite us irrelevant of race religion or color. Now more than ever before is the time to support local businesses and stand together.
As jobs disappear and our everyday lives are disrupted in the name of flattening the curve of the coronavirus pandemic, a picture of what tomorrow will look like is still too uncertain to make out, but all indications show that we are close to a breaking point.
And another post from him:
It just gets worse. New CDC guidlines for reopening schools:
◦ Wear masks over the age of 2 ◦ No sharing of any items or supplies, all belongings in individual cubbies or labeled containers; no sharing electronic devices, toys, games, learning aids ◦ Desks 6 feet apart, all facing the same way ◦ Distance on school buses- one child per seat, skip rows ◦ Install sneeze guards and partitions wherever you cannot space 6ft apart ◦ One way routes in hallways; tape on sidewalks and walls to assure kids stay 6ft apart ◦ No communal shared spaces – cafeterias, playgrounds ◦ Physical barriers or screens between sinks in bathrooms ◦ Only pre-packages boxes or bags of food instead of cafeteria food; kids eat in classrooms ◦ No field trips, assemblies, or external organizations in the schools. Limit volunteers and visitors. ◦ Same children stay with same staff all day, no switching groups or teachers. ◦ Stagger arrival and departure times for students to limit exposure to crowds of kids. ◦ If possible, daily health and temperature checks. ◦ And several rules about cleaning and disinfecting throughout the day and hand washing frequently.

Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell: Pierre Omidyar is perhaps even more dangerous than Bill Gates, because he operates under the radar. There’s a reason he secured the Snowden archive / The Intercept. Human capital futures tied to digital ID is the story that no one, even the alternative media, is really inclined to tell you about. It is the missing piece that brings everything into focus.
I’ve been saying it all along. The one SINGLE biggest threat to ALL of humanity is the BLOCKCHAIN! If your ID is tied to a blockchain, and ALL IoT devices (including wearables) are hooked into the blockchain, we will be living in a pico-second to pico-second surveillance state unlike anything anyone has ever known or seen before. Beyond anyone’s imagination! You will have ZERO privacy and you will be taxed for any and all transactions.
Once we give it up, we will never get it back. It seems a lot of people are looking forward to advanced tech. They do not understand the costs. There is something eerily comparable with the tech agenda to human zoos.
Yes! I realized this back when I started to learn about blockchain and how it worked. Once I learned about it, and smart contracts, then it hit me like a ton of bricks! We were in DEEP trouble! This was back in 2014 or 2015 for me. I’ve been trying to sound the alarm but no one seems to care of the harmless sound of “blockchain”. They have no clue and still have no clue.. and it’s here! The prison is built and all it needs now it occupants.
Obama and Google built the digital jail we don’t realize we are living in…yet.
I in particular have been just one of hundreds of thousands of engineers working on this digital jail. We the people have been providing our information to our jail masters. We just didn’t notice it at first. But now that I know, that I have made that connection, I have to warn people. The window is about to close if people are placed on a blockchain with their blockchain ID. We’re gonna be screwed!
WHAT DO WE DO TO STOP IT?!
we resist the ID! Do NOT get on a blockchain ID system. Do not participate. They have no power if we don’t give it to them.
that is you and me … there are millions upon millions (INdia, africa) uneducated/poor – already subjected to biometricdata id’s in adhhar, tied in with their bank accnts (and their “ration cards” the gov subsidy for food supplies here in India) it is these the people .. how do we stop this from happening? because they will not know what is being done to them .. it will just be done to them as the biometricid was, as demonitization was, as the lockdown (pre this cv19lockdown) in kashmir/ it’s the people… we need to find a solution …
more people from around the world need to become aware of this. There has to be more exposure. If we can get a good percentage of people, globally, to acknowledge that this is not what humanity wants or needs, then maybe we can stop and reverse this insanity. We just keep putting pressure. We can do this.
we need a very simple analogy or explanation for people to start their understanding of what it is. Alison posted a couple of links for me and I read and informed myself. I have asked a lot of people if they know what blockchain is and the simple answer is they don’t. Some never heard of it and some have a vague idea about something to do with bitcoin. I have managed to explain to just one interested person using education as a means to explaining it to them through their own kids. I do my bit but it’s simply not enough. I am struggling to find a simple way to get the message across via Facebook. Even the people who are against lockdown don’t know about the 4IR.
you’re absolutely right. When I explain blockchain, I tell people “it’s a way to turn you into a token that can be traded”. They immediately get it and don’t like it. And that is just part of what it is. It’s much more than that, but in essence it is that. The tokenization of assets on an immutable ledger doesn’t sounds as threatening. We have to find a way to encompass the entire 4IR and broadcast it to the world. You are absolutely correct!
I think the biggest threat we face is the gullibility of people who believe the lies they are told by mainstream media.
I wonder what happens to the right to be ikognito once your identity has been tattooed on you? If you ever have to escape political prosecution, terrorist networks, violent husbands or just escape from some threat that needs to track you down? How does this affect people fleeing political disturbence, dictator regimes or such? There will be no way one can go incognito with this. Im not sure this amends to human rights?
You’re right, there would be no way to escape, short of cutting off your skin or limb. With facial recognition and smart dust or nanobots emitting ID transmissions, you would have no way to hide. I mean, there is always a way to hack a system, but not everyone is a hacker, right? This does not align with nature. We can’t allow this creature into our lives and our homes.
If there’s a barcode on your forehead, you’d have to cut off your head! Just joking. Nah – won’t happen due to collapse of economies and societies and lack of electricity. Without constant power, 5gee is dead and the whole plot depends on active 5gee.
And here is another post from her:
The National Research Council pitched smart dust, swallowable health monitors & automated buildings in 2001!
This document (2001) is a prelude to what is now known as Internet of Things (IoT). Back before there was IoT, they called it embedded systems networks.
So Szabo had theorized smart contracts as early as 1996. I wonder if that was all part of there thinking – smart dust / biometric sensors embedded even in your DNA that would enable / restrict mobility / access?
Alison the thought of “smart contracts” was conceived long before the blockchain was invented in 2009. Yes, the smart contract, I believe had earned someone (was it Szabo?) an Nobel Prize in Economics. Not until the blockchain was invented by “Satoshi Nakamoto” of Bitcoin was it not possible to implement this smart contract concept. Once realized, then yes, all of the above technology could be hooked into the blockchain and be used to monitor all beings and devices on a ledger, in real-time.
This was the vanguard of folks behind “smart” environmental sensing. Health data capture has always been central to this enterprise.
The Pentagon was a smart building on 911 = i have reports which mention it
This has been in the planning for more than 20 years. My other job, aside from programming strictly software, was as an embedded systems engineer. This is the stuff that makes for automated hardware-software. For your smart toasters, washers, dryers, microwave ovens, phones, drones, automobiles, and anything else that can be IoT.
And yet another post from her:
As we watch Washington Governor Inslee’s response to Covid – it is worth remembering he was at the ribbon cutting for the World Economic Forum’s Fourth Industrial Revolution Center at the Presidio in 2017. Synthetic biology is a key feature of 4IR.
As we consider the push for contact tracing know that 1st District WA Representative Suzan DelBene (former Microsoft) co-founded the Caucus of the Internet of Things in 2015.
Virus management is fundamentally about harvesting our lives as data for transnational global capital – the fin-tech / debt-finance matrix. None of this “just happened.”
This guy, Jayme Illien, Founder and Chief Author, CEO behind this crazy crap used to work for the CIA, has big ties to all of the central banks around the world, ties to AI industry and the 4IR. He claims “he was found on the side of the road by mother Theresa abandoned as a baby”. Right! This guy wants to change the world, along with Gates, Bloomberg, and all the tech billionaires on a system he calls (now get this…) Happytilism! A MULTI-TRILLION dollar economy based on HAPPYNESS! WTF is he talking about? This has got to be the biggest con ever in the history of this planet. The people are demented. In my honest opinion, I think they just want to keep us locked down, controlled, dumb down further and just turn us into minimum wage earners as STEM employees from your smart cubicle, feeding the technocratic massively surveyed matrix!
Who is this guy? And why have we not heard about him before? This guy is a crackpot, but he’s extremely influential and dangerous!
We don’t hear much about K I S S I N G E R, either. His name came out at the beginning of this Gates stuff and that’s the last I’ve heard the name lately.
I’m sure he’s studying the fear-action-response plan, and updating it.
OMG! I saw this on Twitter yesterday and was trying to figure out if it was a hoax or not. I assume this “happitalism” will come when our brains are connected to the digital world via implants, allowing us to live in their fake “neuroreality”? Or maybe with something like WestWorld’s limbic pharmaceuticals… And notice how they say “freedom OF all life on earth by 2050”, instead of freedom FOR all life on earth?!! It’s crazy how fast this all seems to be unfolding. Too bad the tech is mostly being used for tighter control (and other nefarious reasons). The Fourth Industrial Revolution! Yay.
I know this may sound silly, but can you verify that that’s for real? While it wouldn’t be the first time they outright said “new world order” cough George HW Bush cough, I can see people saying “Fake News” right away, as they won’t want to admit that the enemy is THAT in-your-face if I try and share it.
I did check on the Wayback Machine (to see if this was a hoax and if it was a recent invention of some prankster, just because it seems too beyond the pale to see them being THAT forthright,) I could only find back to 2018 on the Wayback Machine, which does seem a little odd for something going back to 2009 (and yes, the Wayback Machine was archiving stuff that far back.)
UPDATE: Looks like a real site to me. (Or else a very clever hoax. Due to the fact that nobody has sued them for having a fake site since at least 2018, I’m going to assume that it’s for real.)
have you checked out the Happytalism guy’s other company? Look at these partners!!!
Unknown to most, India is a testing ground for the 4th Industrial Revolution and the coming global Technocracy. As you see done in India, you can be sure to see it coming to your home town! The clock is ticking…
And here is the post that he quoted:
I thought the government was going to help the workers, but in fact they change the laws so workers have to work minimum 12 hours, not 8, and take away the minimum wage (which is nowhere near enough anyway), and all rights. Oh, and they have to be paid in the bank, not cash. Yet the whole world is now seeing the Indian workforce is treated abysmally and is already just a few days away from starvation. Shocking. They need much more, not less. Love & Light
I think you’re correct. They were testing vaccines there, but also they tried out the cashless society there in an area and many people lost everything. The people were given a deadline to turn in all their cash because it was declared worthless into an account, but there wasn’t enough time to do it, so many were stuck with all their wealth in paper. The excuse was to “stop the black market.” “They have to be paid in the bank” in this post says it all.
& our friends & neighbors applauding the technocratic revolution that will make us all peasant labor, call themselves ‘left’ or ‘progressive’. it boggles.
Yes, there are plenty of cues available to show what is in store for the rest of the western world, and the globe for that matter. The Techocrats have it all figured out. They’re gonna give us “what is good for us”.
How do we stop all of this?
Do not get on the blockchain.. that is, do not get a digital ID. That is key to their entire system. You have to be tagged in order to be tagged, tracked, monitored, and controlled.
You DO realize they will first target the disabled, the poor, the elderly, and threaten withholding all aid to them. No social security, no retirement/Medicare payments, no disability, no welfare, etc. I’m CERTAIN that will be their first sets of targets.
As such, we need, last week, to start preparing something to help all of those people avoid being blackmailed into going into the system.
I wonder how far people can be pushed before the pushers end up regretting they ever pushed? Let’s face it, these businesses are nothing without the labor force. Ya know in America we have a second amendment and it’s too late to take that back.
If I know the elites, they’ll use the “mental health” and “red flag bills” they got out or on the docket BEFORE the plandemic to go after loads of people suffering depression, etc, to take their guns under the guise of “mental health”.
Here’s something from a Canadian pro-life group that mentions radical sex ed in Canada, which looks VERY similiar (albeit somewhat worse) to the sex ed we’re seeing in the US, yet more proof that the agenda is GLOBAL: https://www.campaignlifecoalition.com/sex-ed-curriculum
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
This is the intersection of innovative western finance with sophisticated Asian facial recognition / blockchain technology. This is the data extraction process – fracking children for “social impact” profit. We should not stand for this
I hate that they tout how these blockchain systems are decentralized as if the term “decentralized” was the only feature of a true blockchain system. The only thing that is decentralized is the totalitarian reach to innocent people of the corrupted system. They then attach a Digital ID (DID) to it, when anonymity was one of the pillars of a true blockchain system. Instead, what you have is a surveillance system that commoditizes people into tokens for trade. This is the danger we are facing. We have to somehow explain this hard-to-explain concept to people globally. This is the danger I discovered 4-5 years ago. The key to the success of this whole draconian system is both the blockchain ID and the 5G real-time data transactions. Stop those two, and the system is dead.
And another post from her:
Hey folks. Here’s a long, wide-ranging conversation I was part of with three Oakland-area educators and activists thinking about “school” in the fall. Check out this “What’s Left” podcast episode. Thanks for reaching out
The global system was already under pressure before Corona virus due to the trade conflict between our country and China as well as an ongoing global economic slowdown, trade stagnation, and liquidity crisis prior to the virus crisis we are experiencing .
Here is what the G20 Systemic Risk Council concerning the current state of the Global System : “Unlike 2007/08, this is not a financial implosion that threatens the economy and society. It is not a shock from within the economy that threatens the stability of the financial system. It is a devastating shock to people’s health that threatens their livelihoods, the businesses in which they work and invest savings, the wider economy, and therefore the financial system. Weaknesses in the financial system are exacerbating the potential feedback loops, which risk deepening the downturn and impeding eventual economic recovery.”
JPMorgan stated: “As we resign ourselves to the inevitability of a large and broad-based shock to global growth, the key issue is whether we can avoid a traditional and longer-lasting recession event.”
We are sliding into a global depression in a much more interconnected Global System than during the Great Financial Crisis 2007/08, let alone the Great Depression in 1929. We are at the beginning of the greatest uncertainty in the last hundred years cycle, with potential major shocks to our main economic system due to the Global System failing ..
Conclusion – The final statement by G20 Systemic Risk Council: “If things deteriorate a lot more, whether quickly or slowly, governments may find themselves facing the question, not seen outside major wars, of whether to steer the economy’s production priorities, whether to support household spending with subsidies and welfare payments much higher than in normal circumstances, and whether to fund themselves via their jurisdiction’s monetary authority. Obviously the threshold for steps of that kind should be very high given the interference with normal freedoms and constraints. But governments should be conducting contingency planning to think through the issues in advance rather than, however remote it seems, being overtaken by events.”

Covid Innovation Bonds linked to Pay for Success are being floated by Sir Ronald Cohen, father of British venture and creator of the social impact bond. If you thought this was about managing public health for public good, you’ve missed the point entirely.
I’m a programmer with experience in AI and blockchain technology, so someone just asked me “what is blockchain in simple terms and why is it dangerous?” I’m going to try to answer it here in as simple of terms as I can without going into any of the technical details. Okay, here goes…
Blockchain, in simple terms, is just a different type of database. It’s special in that there can be no double-entries in the database. Each entry is unique with it’s own cryptographic signature. The signature cannot be tampered with. That means, that it can be used securely as an identification ledger without risk of being tampered with. Thus the push for a digital ID.
But that’s not all. Since each entry is unique and cannot be copied or duplicated, it can be used to create unique digital “tokens”. That token can represent a thing, an idea or a person, or anything you can think of with value. So, because of this, there can be full accountability and management of all assets on the globe and accessed by anyone that has the proper credentials to access it.
What’s more, because it cannot be copied or duplicated, it solves the problem of double-spending. You can’t forge or counterfeit it. So, it can be used to create a new kind of money or currency. Cryptocurrencies to be more exact, like Bitcoin! This will be the new foundation of the economic reboot.
What this means is that any asset can be exchanged on a market, including rewards, bonuses, tangible items, and even a human’s performance! Yes, people can be sold and bought on the exchange without the individual in question even knowing it just like cattle or slave trade!
With data being the new gold, your data and all other data will be placed on a blockchain, will be tokenized and traded on the blockchain, making the rich super wealthy, while you get victimized during those transactions. Pray that you don’t get disabled, or you’ll have low trade value and not get good incentives in your US Digital Dollar Wallet, as determined by an AI agent.
With everything tied to a global blockchain, managed by AI, you’ll be forced to participate in a socially engineered society, much like in China. You’ll be socially tracked and monitored. If you don’t have your vaccine authenticated on the ledger, you will not have access to your wallet nor access to public transportation, goods and services and even food. And of course, you’ll be identified easily with mass surveillance devices, using blockchain and AI. You can see how this could turn into an Orwellian nightmare impossible to escape. A real Black Mirror society.
This is the danger of being on a blockchain.
I hope this helps explain. I did not get into any technical details, but in the threads below I do touch on some tech info.
Here is a quick summary of what it should and is not a blockchain with more tech info: Assuming we are talking about Bitcoin, the blockchain characteristics would apply, however, the blockchains now developed, do not follow the protocols of Bitcoin. They are ALL hybrids of the bitcoin blockchain with many holes in them. I’ll see if I can point them out for you. Bitcoin is decentralized (Hybrid blockchains are not): Bitcoin does not have a central authority. (Hybrids do) There is no central server; the bitcoin network is peer-to-peer. (Hybrids have central servers) There is no central storage; the bitcoin ledger is distributed. (Distributed only on centralized servers) The ledger is public; anybody can store it on their computer. (Only if you are a node, and nodes/servers are housed in central locations) There is no single administrator; the ledger is maintained by a network of equally privileged miners. (again, miners are servers are nodes and they can all be pooled, managed and centralized.) Anybody can become a miner. (not if the node belongs to a bank or any other central system) The additions to the ledger are maintained through competition. Until a new block is added to the ledger, it is not known which miner will create the block. (Not in a hybrid system where the centralized system is not obliged to use proof of work for competition) The issuance of bitcoins is decentralized. They are issued as a reward for the creation of a new block. (only be distributed miners, but not by hybrid systems. In fact, hybrids can mint as many coins as they wish anytime they choose.) Anybody can create a new bitcoin address (a bitcoin counterpart of a bank account) without needing any approval. (same for hybrids) Anybody can send a transaction to the network without needing any approval; the network merely confirms that the transaction is legitimate. (in a hybrid system, there maybe need to be approval or some contract parameter set first). Definitions: Blockchain – public ledger that records bitcoin transactions Block – each block containing a hash of the previous block up to the genesis block of the chain Nodes – A network of communicating nodes running bitcoin software maintains the blockchain. Network nodes can validate transactions, add them to their copy of the ledger, and then broadcast these ledger additions to other node every 10 mins. Mining – The proof-of-work requires miners to find a number called a nonce and alongside the chaining of blocks, makes modifications of the blockchain hard. Wallets – Contains private and public addresses for transactions. Criticism: Forking debasement Fraud at Exchanges Mining pools controlled and manipulated Energy consumption – Carbon footprint Open-source developers need approval by programmers in order to make changes by the people in charge of the project. Those that approve can be corrupted and can add their own code. Over 50% node attack can change ledger contents. There are more… just to name a few. One more thing, placing a person’s ID on a blockchain defeats the entire anonymity of what Bitcoin was created for. If I buy a bag of chips from you, and hand you a dollar bill, I should not have to give you my name, home address, date of birth, etc. You should not care of any of that. You should just take my dollar bill, and give me my bag of chips and off we depart. Blockchain, not allowing anonymity goes against the entire reasoning and principle of having it. I thought I’d add that piece of information.
And some replies to this post:
there’s been a lot of news lately of institutional money coming into blockchain. It’s definitely our future. Beautiful technology too bad people will use it to manipulate and control other people
I agree. There was a window of opportunity to do great with it, but it got hijacked and manipulated. What is coming is nothing like the original rendition of blockchain. What we will be seeing is a perverted version of blockchain technology. In fact, when bitcoin first came out, the manifesto was that it was to be anonymous transactions. No NAMES or personal ID needed for transactions. But now, they want biometric information and everything along with the identify of that person. Totally against the priniciples of blockchain. That is why I’ve been warning for so long.
it’s pretty much in use already in China, financed mostly by American and European tech money
yes! We have mainly provided the research and financing. If you check out finTech, you’ll discover a lot more. You are correct. Shameful.
having lived in China for ten years and overseen it happening it truly is scary.
NEUsoft were pioneering this from 2005
yes, it happened so quickly. It was not an organic development. It was very well planned and financed. Nothing of that scale has that much logistics and financial support without first planning long in advance with models… many many models.
how long do you think before this comes a reality? What happens to peoples social security and pensions?
its more about social credits than actual money.
I have no idea and that is a good question. Will UBI complement or be integrated into SS? I don’t know. We shall see.
once your ID is attached to a social credit score, and your money becomes cashless in a digital wallet, you’ll find it hard do commerce of any nature, including travel, without the approval of the state. That is not a good outlook for our future.
most of the young techies are not aware of the big picture and really do think the are changing the world for the better. But they are not, once you look at the fine print and the blue prints.
Like branding cattle 🐄 Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, DC, told the BMJ that use of an implantable chip was “like branding cattle.”
He thought it was a mistake for the FDA to have approved the chip because of privacy issues. FDA approves implantable chip to access medical records Janice Hopkins Tanne Copyright and License information Disclaimer The US Food and Drug Administration has approved Verichip, an implantable radiofrequency identification device for patients, which would enable doctors to access their medical records. Doctors hope that use of the device will result in be better treatment for patients in emergencies or when a patient is unconscious or lacks medical records. Some people have raised fears, however, that it could lead to infringements of patients’ privacy. The chip is the size of a grain of rice and is implanted under local anaesthesia beneath the patient’s skin in the triceps area of the right arm, where it is invisible to the naked eye. It contains a unique 16 digit identification number. A handheld scanner passed near the injection site activates the chip and displays the number on the scanner. Doctors and other medical staff use the identification number to access the patient’s records on a secure database via encrypted internet access. A similar chip has been used for about 15 years to trace lost pets and to identify livestock. More than 30 million “Home Again” chips have been implanted in pets, and a million are implanted each year in the United States. The chip’s manufacturer, Applied Digital Systems, of Delray Beach, Florida, will donate 200 scanners to major trauma centres in the United States. The company sees its main markets as physicians’ practices, emergency rooms at hospitals, and extended care facilities. Each scanner costs about $650 (£354; €508), but the cost will decrease with volume, said Angela Fulcher, the company’s vice president for marketing. She said that implanting a chip in an individual costs $150 to $200. “We foresee that scanning a patient for a Verichip—as it is a very simple procedure—will be part of the standard patient entry protocol [in an emergency room], such as taking temperature, checking blood pressure, etc,” Ms Fulcher told the BMJ . The Verichip database can include medical records, information about implanted medical devices, personal information, family contact information, and insurance information. The patient and his or her doctors would enter data in the database. Dr Richard Seelig, the company’s vice president for medical applications, says that the chip would be useful in patients who receive care from several doctors in different locations, who have complex medical histories, and who take many medications. The chip has potential applications for protecting security, such as limiting access to nuclear power plants, for identifying military personnel and including their medical information, and for protecting financial transactions such as using cash dispensing machines. About 1000 people worldwide have been implanted with the chip. The attorney general of Mexico and some of his staff use the technology to access secure facilities in Mexico city, the company says. Because the chip can be activated only at close range and because it becomes inactive immediately afterward, it cannot be used for long distance reading of information or tracking of individuals. Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, DC, told the BMJ that use of an implantable chip was “like branding cattle.” He thought it was a mistake for the FDA to have approved the chip because of privacy issues.

If people get “chipped” and placed on a blockchain, the consequences are going to be disastrous! I cannot emphasize this enough. There will be no escaping a massive satellite surveillance 5G network. It’s the worst idea in human history.

James Corbett concludes that Bill Gates and thousands of the people he works with believe in centralised control and eugenics, a very bad combination.
my undergrad degree is in computer science (graduated 1991) and I work in it support. I’m not a programmer like you, but with Moore’s ‘law’ and compute power potentially doubling every two years, and the global elites in control, I can see very dangerous times coming for humanity. By 2030, supercomputers could be 30x more powerful, and by 2040 1000x. Do you agree with Jay Tuck that AI will kill us? https://youtu.be/BrNs0M77Pd4
they now have the means to store data on synthetic DNA which solves the problem of data storage. As for Moore’s law with computing, they have optical processors that will radically increase speed and efficiency, and if you combine that with quantum computing, well then that blow’s Moore’s law out of the water. So, AI could destroy us if it finds that to be necessary in order to best optimize it’s algorithm. At that point, anything is possible. It would not necessarily need to be conscious.
wow. Yes. And with the birth of General AI it could reprogram itself and redesign its own hardware even. And the goal of the elites is trans humanism, to merge man and machine. To achieve immortality. What do you think about that?
programs are already reprogramming themselves. Both data organization (such as deep fake images) and with algorithms in sand box environments. So, it won’t be long before General AI will be able to modify it’s code base and run away with itself into something super intelligent. I see this happening within 10-20 years. Tech growth is exponential, not linear. So yes. And if you were to read the whitepapers I read out of academia, and there are hundreds, you would realize this is a MAJOR effort to merge man and machine… yes, transhumanism. For military purposes, for VR economy (Trillions to be made) and for the end game of immortality, thus escaping extinction.
Thank you! I was trying to explain this to a friend the other day; he kept saying that it was such a “stretch” to get to this point- it’s not far away, is it? The tech world seems to have already exploded years ago when we the non-techies weren’t paying any attention.
Five or six years ago, I saw the potential to do either good or bad with this and I tried to get people to turn this into something good, but we failed. Greed took over. So, now that window is closed and banks and corporations took over and now we’re faced with a possible dystopian Orwellian society. We still have a window of opportunity to stop this by not getting placed on any blockchain ID. But we have to act fast and aggressively.
and this is also where Alison comes in with the education “reform.” Educating/monitoring our kids via blockchain, is that correct? How do we battle this fast and aggressively?
yes! Alison and I converged just recently. I discovered her and we connected. She’s been on the investment end of this threat and I’ve been on the tech development end of this threat and we came together. We first and foremost DO NOT allow ourselves to get placed on a digital tracking blockchain-based ID system. That is a must. And we inform everyone as far and wide why and what the ramifications are.
How does one avoid getting on blockchain?
By not getting chipped?
that is a tough question because it can be disguised. One would be an ID in conjunction with the vaccine. Another would be with a digital wallet for stimulus money. You’ll have to do research before you ever divulge information to receive an ID and find out if it is going to be on a blockchain.
I read a comment by an electrical engineer somewhere that he thought he could make a device to destroy the chip electronically or neutralize it. This is SO scary. Thanks for the definition, I had no idea how it was set up.
Here’s my guess, at least for the US. i think it’ll come through Real ID. They pushed it back and the NGA even said that they wanted it updated to go with modern technology
I think, in other countries, it’ll come through the ID2020 and also the Gavi vaccine birth certificates. Perhaps it’ll be like a social security number where you start having to get one at birth or else you’re, well, illegal.
It is also a double edge sword and ditto for those companies who abuse it. Since there is no global government yet, nor even possible with 6 billion people, it can also be with out regulatory laws or against human rights. Since there are no regulatory boundaries we can hold those corporations, programmers or countries who are also identifiable and responsible as we do individuals. Not necessarily one sided, it’s can be a double edged sword. As we can hold China responsible only if we don’t use their hardware or software. Those who have sold out our sovereign country also still be held accountable.
Technology is moving fast. The laws will be codified in smart contracts on blockchains, all managed by AI. If we allow that, we’ll have no control any longer. There are a lot of parts to this monster.
I don’t think AI is there yet by any means. What I see people calling AI is really silly. Much still dependent on the root level domains which are physical connections. Since those were taken over and sold out by Obama we now have anarchy of media and content delivery. No incentive to create new. Unfortunately those have been taken over and need to be put back into a governmental authority for regulation. That can be done. Network is still physical layers of root level domains. And what is needed is multiple domains of social digital domains. Separate. But I see the Satellite domain above as a root level above all, no physical. By passing the current ones we can still have governmental authority. The unique identifiers have always been there in your browser and MAC address and at times encrypted. Berkeley network protocol has always been capable of filtering or redirecting as Linux as too using different network protocol but similar. Where the protocol can be different or separate based on DNS domains historically 13 levels. Or using ipv6 which can be Point to Point only. Those can be bypassed. The cloud domains can still be bypassed and content delivery networks also bypassed. It will take awhile to be open again but possible. We just regressed into the dark ages again. And what was open source is now available on your bookshelf. So patent, copyright and intellectual property are now gone.
there are new protocols being developed. In fact, China has a protocol that is more advance than our current protocol and the fear is that most of the developing world will adopt it and force the US to adopt China’s protocol for internet communication/5G/Iot/Ai.. The root might very well be satellite network. China has also developed the first and ONLY quantum network satellite. So, there Is a lot that is changing and the US is playing catchup. As for AI, it’s not sentient AI I’m concerned about, it’s sophisticated data-driven statistical modeling machines that can compute and analyze in real-time using our data that scares me most, using a smart-contracts blockchain platform.
And as well IBM with various protocols. And even during the open source era there was encryption that no one could break with SSL – or an operating system that had passive fingerprinting of the protocol. Or driven by atomic clock time synch. Their isn’t much new that I’ve seen for the last 35 years in the study of about 25 thousand software ports of code. IBM Berkeley, Sun Microsystems Berkeley, Free, open, etc. the only unique one has been Linux and it doesn’t use Berkeley network. The remainder have been variants of DEC PDP and IBM CICS. No one is going obsolete billions of investment in network infrastructure overnight. That’s always been the fear. China developed the first VPN (those who oppose within China who did oppose). Created VPN PPTP – even Skype PPTP. Ipv6 was PPTP. The VPN broke through the firewall China set up. For each new layer or protocol you can still bypass the that protocol or physical connections through WAN nodes. China doesn’t control the protocols written. Currently there are many. The source code I know of that load balances, encrypts, directs content for the majority of the networks is Berkeley network stack and Linux. Berkeley have entirely different network stacks from Linux redirects nicely. Even Apache or Chrome are different as browsers and non servers as virtual machines. As is ipv4 and ipv6 which have been around to cover the lack of address spaces. There are as many protocols as VMWare has virtual machines. Even NetBSD Berkeley has a 128 bit operating system. Last count NetBSD probably had about 100 different hardware platforms you could run a network on, even electrical grid or scsi, hdmi, usb, wireless, etc. The beauty of our system is we are a diversity of institutions and platforms – that is the secret sauce of success and creativity. There are a few who piss in the well of knowledge – Amazon by reverse engineering the open source sales kiosk and never put back what was earned – shame on Jeff Bezos.
I don’t think the big threat is the variance of the internet protocol/s. What is being developed is a layer that would reside on top of the internet protocol that implements smart contracts and turning the internet into a Turing machine. An OS if you like. With this new OS, on top of the underlying layer, would be the transaction on a smart contract blockchain such as Etherium. This has been the plan for some years now and I know that IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, HP, and other heavy hitters have had consortiums regarding this and have been working with many standards organizations to create a new internet standard that encompasses this. I don’t think they are concerned bout the underlying machinery at the IP/TCP packet level. I don’t know, I’ve not followed those protocols for 20 years or so. they’ve not changed much except for when they changed form ipv4 to ipv6. That is all I’m aware of.
I agree with you for each new abstraction layer we have concerns. It becomes a rules machines that learn and how it is applied or implemented to control. Much will be lost in creativity and intellectual property. Much of my early days where dealing with mimicking flight using flight simulators and all the algorithms. All had resemblances of rule engines, and heuristics of the brain. Many that have patents because of speed and data caching. With me my expertise was load balancing cluster domains and backend SAN across the continent. I was like a synaptic guide of network infrastructure. For example creating 6 business copies of backend journaled memory of 10 hours of work. One for production and another for development work. Rocket launch, Health insurance or Research clustering. Using SAP / ERP on the front end and large SAN of backend data for rocket launch. Being able to journal or cache data that was current was key to testing in development and separating development from production. If you lost power you lost your cache. With China it’s a hydroelectric dam with the power of 50 nuke plants of power. Having access to the cached data was always a concern. One can now redirect content in memory. Wherever it was stored across FIFO data streams or aged out on disk it was a simple algorithm of age. What was in cache memory was lightning fast, and when scaled and with virtualization across 1000s of machines as one machine. With a network you could index the whole world, load balanced and only driven by age. Akami and Inktomi data caching across disparate countries and satellite data links was cool. So AI to me will be a huge caching machine of data. The only advantage I see China having is clean and free electricity with the Hydro electric dam. We have too many power outages as a country and no clean power – that is where we are losing horribly – when power goes out everything goes with it, including cached memory. What was old aged out memory stack cleaned up. For example the mortgage service processing used back end mainframes of years of mortgage information. The middle tier Unix Machines became an Oracle midrange caching machine fast in and first out data. One of my favorites for years has been Pega Systems (Rules Engine) that finally beat the best chess player. AI still has so many flaws – the Pandemic has brought much to light with faults.
Most of that was way over my head, but what about the availability of electricity? A year or so ago they were talking about doing some kind of blockchain thing near Walla Walla at the port, but it was nixed because of some huge drain of electricity that it would use. Is there a need for some level of electricity availability to do this stuff?
AI can now do the load caching. I agree that the power system we have is antiquated. It’s pretty much still based on coal and is too centralized (regionally). I’m not network engineer but much of what you’re saying I’m familiar with. As a game developer, we have to distribute data across different servers, cache systems and networks. There are various latency issues with the different parts of a game, such as real time data, portal dashboard updates, local reckoning and syncing with terminals, and data dropping along with error correcions due to different lan and wan systems and different conduits such as telephone wires, cable, optics, etc. So I’m familiar with many of the issues with networking. I think there is more a desire to create distributed networks with higher bandwidth. And, smart contracts is supposedly to be part of that transactioning (sp). Honestly, it’s hard to keep up with all the fields of computer science. My specialty has been with Game Development, AI and some blockchain development for gaming and game assets.
ditto all to take us back a few steps for all the wrong reasons. The best open source tools keep it in balance. Unfortunately much of Berkeley software UC was shutdown by the California regents and replaced with offshore programmers- with it went control of the Internet. All the BSD load balancers like F5s and DNS caching services went too. 5G would obsolete billions in investment. And 5G would be controlled by CCP or Huweai – that is why we are standing our ground with alternatives. I may sound old school – to be honest not much has changed. Like Florence Italy, the facades change only. I’ve always asked the question to Robert Reich why UC Berkeley would replace US programmers with offshore? The aspects of national security and separation of roles went too far. UC Berkeley has contributed more to security than anyone can possibly know, including control systems for power plants and putting a Rover on Mars that was only designed for 30 days that lasted 2004 til 2017. When I listen to the congressional leaders talk about how Americans are not smart enough, ask if they know who they are talking about – we invented the internet in the mid 80s and 90s – never believe what they say about Al Gore, he had nothing to do with Vincent Cref and the early Internet or Metcafts Ethernet or Englebarts mouse. For that matter distributed war gaming and SIMNET- we built Google Earth from the ground up for simulation – and shared it and the models. What your doing with Edge caching is awesome and allows for older networks to keep up or backup data in a journaled cache. Those are classic and will always be necessary. UDP doesn’t care TCP does care about data integrity as in the differences QOS (voice vs non QOS). I always loved RSynch- it only updated across cache what changed and could do a network rolling checksum of every packet. The most secure way was always rsynch. It made disaster recovery and error recovery with Journaled data that everyone now calls a “cloud” or network pipes.
I’ve used both UDP and TCP depending on the importance of the data. In turnkey systems, UDP is fine. There are many instances in a game where a few packets of data are not critical so losing a few does not matter so much, but in any mission critical application I would use TCP instead. I’ve not used rsynch but I’m sure if I do any MMO I’ll give it a try.
those are good concerns. Same question could be asked of China why they would need the equivalent of 50 nuke plants with running water. I don’t like how that energy gets used including the I/O of my phone and it’s battery use. I want to know what my network is sending and receiving because when it is it is using my data and it runs the battery down. There are weapons that can be used with power and without electric power. Fires, outages, cellphones that have no service or disaster recovery, etc. And then all these people say 5G and there is no power back up for 4G or 3G. 5G has no backbone or critical availability – not possible in a medical realm or a GPS self driven car.
Thank you. Most people have no clue. I think this is al wrapped up into the agenda 21/30 stuff happening while we argue about orange man bad.
Yes, this very much ties up perfectly with UN SDG and Agenda 20/30. You could not do any of the SDG points without a blockchain.
the best way to avoid any kind of blockchain identification / tracking system is to not have any electronic device attached to you. Do not let any embedded device get injected or placed in / under your skin. Do now swallow and pill that might have an electronic device (they exist). Do not get any tattoos (invisible or not) on any part of your body. Do not take the Covid-19 vaccine. It might have an RFID emitting nano-particle in the vaccination. Anything that might be emitting an electronic signal is potentially a tracking device. So if you’re issued a card for some reason, it might have an RFID in it and you’d be carrying it all the time unknowingly. These are just some examples. I don’t know how stealthy they are planning to be in administering IDs, but we have not gotten to that stage yet. That will happen exactly when they declare they have found a vaccine. It’s then they will being IDing.
Hence using a global pandemic to justify swabbing every being on the planet including the remote hundreds of millions without “certification”. Basically they’re faking the “Apocalypse” to resolve conflict driven society – programmed into us, whilst simultaneously counting the chattel – the assets for the “new economy”. They old paradigm symbolised by the Pyramid is being replaced by the Corona. All countries are in the process of reframing national perception to a global one to erode confidence in the old structures and embrace the new one… After that will be pets, gardens, parks, the whole thing as you rightly point out [name redacted]. Society 5.0, 5 interlaced rings, which represent the union of the five continents in the Olympic Charter, 5 Crowns (or Coronas) – check the pic. “Language is a virus” In that light, the messaging is clear – lockdown was to interrupt our habits in order to reframe them – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7k9i9pKI0w
What you have to say is really interesting! Wasn’t the corona virus featured in an Olympic ceremony? Complete with nurses in face masks? I’ve not heard about your explanation before. Thanks for sharing that.
There’s a strong pschological component to “encourage” people to “meditate” on their “value systems”. For the most embedded in religious end-time dogma, they need to fake their apocalypses simultaneously to remove those cultural ideologies which now are an obstacle to the new ideology. A shift from competitive national imperialism to a planetary global imperialism as they see not only Earth, but our local celestial bodies as the prize.
Star Child at the end of “medical” section of the 2012 ritual… erm… ceremony. They even used Tubular Bells (exorcist) in there! A maternity ward. The stadium itself a crown.
yes, it was creepy and very ritualistic. I was quite surprised by it.
I actually know someone who particpated in that segment and can be clearly seen at the moment the voiceover says Great Ormond Street staff, and she’s waving. She’s a professional extra, I think 2020 Casting Ltd got her the gig. 2020 Casting? Ummm… ok. I watched it with her at the time! I didn’t spot a damn thing – just considered a bizarre spectacle. No inkling. Now it’s as clear as a bell.
There’s the younger generation already “educated” to perceive all this from a different lens. Great Thunderbird, teenage activist was used to harness them to invest in the new paradigm, for example Them is now also us. Each flaming spike in the corona is a demographic invested in it. The business sector is on board. They see opportunity. The WEF forum lays it out pretty much.
I’ve seen the WEForum site and it’s a complex site that as a programmer, would have taken me more than a year or more to put together. I know there is no way that was put up in just a week or so. No way.
Yeh – let alone the doc’s published predating all this, agreeing what the G4, G7, G77 would implement “whenever such a global crisis arises” and using coronavirus imagery in the header. All there for anyone who cares to look.
Its like a blockchain without the privacy benefit which they needed to promote the technology publicly at first now they are revealing its final and true version which is the ultimate form of control
I’ve often thought of that. They teased us with the benefits and promise of Bitcoin but they then turned around and gave us TyrannyCoin. Bait-and-switch.
yeah me too but i knew that such a technology with that scale can’t be solely developed by some anonymous figure for something small as bitcoin. It has to have wider applications that could be used by banks governments etc.. _–
till this day I still think Satoshi Nakamoto is an alias for some government cryptographic development team. There is no way such an ingenious program and idea dropped in out of no where after the 2008 economic crisis, was designed by one person. Whomever designed invented it, had to have been an expert at economics, math, cryptography, networking, peer-to-peer networking, programming, and have the skills to remain anonymous till this day. It all seems very suspicious to me. I will say that it is one heck of an ingenious invention.
the picture in the article of their blockchain diagram zoom in on the architect part see the masonic compass right there under the architect. This is not a coincidence just like the masonic symbols on the fiat dollar
what we are afraid of is already happening visa has applied for digital dollar blockchain patent
look at the symbol in their patetnt blockchain diagram under the “architect” part pretty intresting choice of symbols i would say
holy crap! Is that an Illuminati / Freemason symbol? Wow!
yeah its called the masonic compass a pretty famous masonic symbol like the star of david. Its pretty obvious what they are doing they are showing people that the same people who invented fiat currency are the ones behind the new world order with its new digital currency the UN even launched a new website called NWO bringing a new economic new world order people need to wake up before its too late https://unnwo.org
And another post from him:
IPSoft Inc. CEO Chetan Dube is also the head of the Vatican for Communications and the creator of Amelia the AI avatar. He’s also a big transhumanist. Hear what he has to say about AI and the Vatican’s future role with AI and the “symbiotic” role that man and machine can have living together. I kid you not!
“During The Digital Workforce Summit 2018, IPsoft CEO Chetan Dube spoke with Monsignor Lucio Adrian Ruiz, head of the Vatican’s communications department, about the role of morality in Artificial Intelligence. The conversation delved into the Vatican’s use of technology to help reach out to its followers, as well as an explanation of what Adrian Ruiz believes man’s role should be in ensuring safe autonomous technology.”
[source: entrepreneur.wiki] Math professor-turned-entrepreneur Chetan Dube is the founder of IPsoft. Born in New Delhi, Dube grew up in Paris and London. He later came to the United States for post-graduate work, pursuing his doctorate in theoretical computer science at New York University. During his time at NYU, he began exploring artificial intelligence principles and philosophies while researching deterministic finite-state computing engines. In 1998, he left his assistant professorship at NYU to found IPsoft as a place to expand on these ideas, building software that could mimic the human brain.
The young company used its discoveries to build software for efficient problem solving, aiming to automate a range of IT environments and business processes. Their flagship product, IPcenter, consolidates information into a single, integrated operations management platform. An early exercise in the self-evolving artificial intelligence central to IPsoft’s work, IPcenter used “virtual engineers” that communicate with each other to brainstorm solutions to problems. Today, IPcenter processes 56% of all events across millions of infrastructure devices and services, completely autonomous of human aid.
In late 2014, IPsoft launched Amelia, a “virtual service-desk employee” with incredibly human interactions and learning capabilities. In development since IPsoft’s founding, the versatile program is the product of more than 15 years of research and development. For the first ten of those years, the company didn’t write a single line of code. Instead, IPsoft devoted its focus to studying the human brain. Centering their approach on “neural emulation,” they acquired a deep understanding of how the mind maps connections between objects.
IPsoft then built Amelia to mimic human neural activity, learning with every transaction and building mind maps as she goes. The result is an interface that can solve problems as they arise and learn from past interactions. Amelia, named for Amelia Earhart, is now in trials at a small group of businesses including Shell Oil, Accenture, NTT Group and Baker Hughes.
As of 2015, IPsoft has grown to close to 2,000 employees. Seven hundred of those are based at the company’s New York City headquarters, with the others spread across offices in close to a dozen countries. The company serves hundreds of leading brands and more than half of the largest IT outsourcing service providers. In April 2015, they purchased ab1 Group, a Swedish IT professional services firm, to help meet the demand for IPcenter.
In addition to serving as IPsoft’s President and CEO, Dube sits on the board of numerous IT institutions. He is also a widely recognized speaker on autonomics and utility computing. He lives in New York with his wife, Jessica, whom he married in 2012.

I listened to someone who went thru the contact tracing training recently. Maybe you already know this? as I haven’t been closely following your page until now. In any case, he said that if a person is in the same building (such as a grocery store) with someone else who tests positive for an hour or more, that person could be tested, even if he doesn’t come in contact with the said positive person. The key is an hour. If someone comes within a few feet (it was like 6 or 10 feet?) of the positive-testing person, the time frame inside the store doesn’t matter. Of course, one shouldn’t bring their phone with them, but also, using credit cards could help establish that you were at the store. And, they could then say that they assume you were in the store for an hour or more. Also, once our IDs are digital, I assume they will have GPS capabilities? Eventually they will switch us all away from cash, but for now, using cash at the store makes sense. I can see where this is all going, though: Eventually people may get scared, and not want to use the local grocery stores at all because they might have to get tested and then be hauled off to an isolation center (which Cuomo said this week are being built to keep the (empty) hospitals from being overrun). I imagine most who go to the isolation centers who start off healthy eventually are reported to be very sick and then don’t come home. So eventually people don’t want to leave to use their grocery stores. They just order their food from home. More money for Amazon and whoever else. What do you think?
Yes, everything you just said is what would eventually happen. This is of course against constitutional law, but they are bypassing that. Once there is a tracking ID on you and a cashless wallet that you have to use to purchase, they basically own you and you’d have to comply or starve, that’s if they don’t locate you with geoloction. This is not conspiracy anymore. This is rolling out as we speak.
I’m sure you’re aware that the hospitals have been dumping Covid patients into nursing homes. Then, of course, the media can tell us that X-number of nursing home residents died of Covid without connecting the dots for us. I kind of wondered if there might be Covid teams that come in. I looked it up, and sure enough, they have these “Go Teams” that come in and take over. I can’t help but wonder who people on these Go Teams really are and what protocols they might be following, which can assure a lot of deaths (such as the hospital protocol to not use the less invasive Cpaps and Bipaps prior to intubating Covid patients, which also assures extra deaths). So then I think, wow, who will be running these isolation centers that Cuomo talked about? I imagine the vaccine itself will kill most of us (though we’ll be told that it’s a new strain of Covid or something similar), but how many will enter the isolation centers perfectly healthy and end up dead? (They’ll tell the family members they took a turn for the worst.) This rule that family members can’t accompany their loved ones is perhaps one of the most diabolical parts of their monstrous plot. As one guy put it, they hit the ball out of the park on this one. They have every angle, every i dotted and t crossed.
yes, they really cover the bases with this one. They can kill as many people as they want and still look like they are the good guys. No one would ever know. There has to be a revolt. This is beyond anything I or anyone has ever dreamed of.. you would have seen a scifi horror flic if this had been the case. This one really takes the cake.
“Isolation centers” are concentration camps. No one comes out of those alive. “Digital ID” is a high tech version of tattooed nos on concentration camp victims. This is Holocaust II. It’s been planned since V-E Day in 1945 stopped Holocaust I.
it’s funny how you mention military. This has all the hallmarks of a military operation. When I was in Iraq, we would capture enemies and then keep them isolated until we could take them to a containment site and then get their identification so that we could account for them and track them and monitor them. We kept them in isolation so that that could not communicate. It reminds me of our stay at home and quarantine situation. It just has a taste and feel of a military operation from the perspective of one whose beein in combat
Absolutely! I’ve noticed from the word go that this is Holocaust II & nothing less. I agree w/ your assessment based on your military experience, something I do not have. However, I’m descended from stock which was victimized by Holocaust I so I recognize its MO immediately. Also, social ISOLATION is the abuser’s oldest tactic.
I think they’re likely to roll it out as voluntary and just watch the sign up rate rather than risk push back early. If they see the voluntary movement progresses well they just have to wait and they can incentivize joining with rewards rather than penalize people. They’ve been at this a long time. They understand the risk of pushing to hard to fast and yet because the whole world basically laid down for lockdown they might just risk it.
Of course that is how they always start out. “All the great benefits” and “look how cool this feature is” or “this is for you safety and the greater good”. Yes, they slowly cook the frog.
satellites pick up tower signals. The tower signals can only triangulate your position, but not with great precision. They are off by hundreds of feet, so what gets relayed to satellites is inaccurate information. That is why they need tighter 5G mini cell towers every block or less, so that they can get more precise location information.
Here is a post from another friend of mine:
Let’s put on our thinking cap – The other day there was an article which stated Social Security was in trouble , by 2029 there would be no funds . Hmmm no funds .
Now let’s use logic what is the age group who draws Social Security and disability .? Who are the ones dying from this virus , the elderly and those with immune deficiency ? Who are the ones who want population control ? Now let’s think who desires digital payment system and a digital identity , etc.. https://youtu.be/rRdk5n4G1Bk
An example weeks ago I posted an article concerning how Japanese government and their central bank wanted to use digital money but the elderly were the ones who stood in their way , in other words , the older generations refused to use digital and wanted to use paper money ..
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group: Just got this gem this am….
And some replies to this post:
Thanks for sharing. Didn’t you opt your children out? Why did they send this assignment? Do they require and grade the kids on these assignments?
They sent it to 500 students and forgot, it was immediately handled and she was given an alternative assignment. They are getting credit/no credit in terms of grading right now.
so what does credit/no credit mean? Does it effect a student’s grade? And what subject is this included under? Does SEL have it’s own category?
This is under “health” class right now there is no grading; just complete or not complete…
a meditation assignment is just incredible to me. This is so outside of what schools should be teaching.
for those who do meditate as a form of religious expression or even as a “secular” activity (which we know isn’t really possible), isn’t it an invasion of privacy to have to report that you have meditated?!
Here are the reasons that assignments like these are concerning:
Schools are using unsuspecting language to hide from parents what they are really teaching. In this case, Buddhism is being sold as “stress management.”
The lesson above is part of a trend in education called Social Emotional Learning. There are many concerning elements to SEL, including Buddhist meditation.
Schools are replacing parents in more and more ways and are not communicating to parents when they teach lessons that might conflict with their faith traditions. I have been highlighting the dangers of SEL lately. There is a document in the files section of this group that explains what SEL is, why it is harmful and why it violates parental rights. Also, I have done two interviews concerning SEL, one with a former school teacher and another with a school board member from the Cape. I will post the links below.
They are using Yoga all the time now. Rather than having to teach my daughters about avoiding stress I had to teach them about recognizing spiritual exercises.
Here is a post from the Common Core Diva:
Anti Fed Ed Warriors, Congress is becoming more predators, than protectors, at least in education. How closely is the 116th following the Yogyokarta Principles? What are the YPs?! All the information is in my expose. Comprehensive Sexuality Education is not the only goal.
Look what Trump did. I personally think it’s a bad situation all around. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc ARE acting like corporate fascists and ARE a threat to liberty as they have the power to shut up someone online or ruin their careers for political reasons, yet giving the federal government more power has RARELY worked out for the best in the end in the past.
If you study the congressional bills and newly passed 5G and related laws, you would know each set the government in charge of the internet. There are cybersecurity jobs about to be increased. There’s also the USMCA, where a committee made up of other countries’ leaders & appointed US reps who will decide for US, We the People. Internet included. The EO is a way to speed this process & well as bypass Congress. Just like every other EO by every President who has used them. Think my foul hat is showing? Think it’s all opinion? Nope, I have the research & published articles.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Yep, I am so mad I’m still shaking. I finally got notice from my dentist that they can accept patients for non-emergency procedures again. I had missed my bi-annual cleaning during this LOCKDOWN (not “quarantine”). So, I call for an appointment only to find out that I would have to wait in my car in the parking lot. So I ask how long this wait period is likely to be because it gets hot here in the Deep South. Was told I need to keep my a/c running so my temperature won’t get too high. So I’m asking what my temperature has to do with getting my teeth cleaned. I already suspected something was up because my “conspiracy meter” works in high gear. Just as I suspected, I was told that they would have to take my temperature before they would clean my teeth. – And that right after they had mentioned in their e-mail to me that they would also have to take my blood pressure! – SURE!!! So if I sit in my car in the parking lot in over 100 degrees heat, and if I don’t pass muster at the door with their thermometer, they can send me straight to “evaluation.” And with my background, I surely know what that means. It is really getting bad out there, friends. – And so now I don’t have a dentist any longer because I ain’t playing that game. I know it’s not their fault, but the country is going to hell in a hand basket real quick. I’m only very thankful that I don’t have to go do other doctors for anything, because if I did, I’d probably be in deep doodoo. – End of rant.
In this article: ⚠DATA-MINING STUDENTS TO REFINE PREDICTIVE ALGORITHMS. ⚠NO GOING BACK TO TRADITIONAL INSTRUCTION ⚠COMMUNICATION SKILLS ARE SO WEAK, WE NEED A ROBOT TO FILL THE GAPS. (Gee, thanks, Common Core!) …. A Note from Lewis Johnson, Alelo President and CEO (call for investments pop-up)
“Who is Alelo?”
We’re not a startup. I founded Alelo in 2006 to help people realize their potential using artificial intelligence and natural language processing. With over 500,000 users, we are the world leader in AI avatar-based training. Since our inception, Alelo has generated over $55 million in revenue.
Our customers include the U.S. Department of Defense, Joint Staff J7, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army, the Office of Naval Research, NATO and the governments of Australia, Germany and the UK. Our academic customers include major universities across the globe.
“Why is Alelo poised to succeed?”
The shortage of workers with effective communication skills is three times greater than the shortage of workers with software engineering skills. Alelo’s AI avatar-based products reduce training costs while improving effectiveness when compared to conventional training. Our extensive experience in government and academic applications consistently proves this. Alelo’s training products are more than state-of-the-art AI, natural language processing, and speech recognition technology. They’re built on a comprehensive knowledge base of language, culture, behavior and gestures. Our established products for government and academic applications provide us with a stable fiscal platform for growth into the corporate market. We expect the government and academic markets to grow as well.
This is how your digital dollars can be taken away from you. If in the near future you have a digital wallet, in an economy that is cashless, and determines your trustworthiness in a social credit scoring system (like in China), and you happen to be an outspoken critic of the government or big industry, you can get your funds cut off from you just like that as a form of punishment! That is the danger I am trying to warn you about if you get a digital blockchain based ID. And if our government turns to digital cash and stops the production of paper money, we will be forced into digital ID and digital cash! Tell your representatives that you will not do business with digital dollars, demand that paper dollars are printed as normal and demand that ALL business must accept CASH, now and in perpetuity! I keep warning that Technocracy is just around the corner! This is a big threat to our freedom!
They did the same to Julian Assange. They cut off his paypal, but he luckily had a bitcoin wallet. But, eventually his internet was shut off. This is the kind of automated treatment and punishment one would get if you were on a blockchain with ID and an AI program determined that you were not a good citizen.
Here is a post from yet another friend of mine:
From bikes to blockchain: Shipping industry goes digital in lockdown
Anti Fed Ed Warriors, the Supreme Court could reach a decision anytime now on Ed Savings Accounts & school choice. Both of which are lies based on the Every Student Succeeds Act. ESSA is 100% unconstitutional. Justice Kavanaugh is a backer of both school choice & ESAs. His ties to the CCSS Machine are thick. Will We the People see real truth prevail?
Let’s be clear here. This is NOT about addressing genuine mental health concerns. The people offering the solutions are the same ones who have created this problem. This IS about data-mining for predictive risk profiling. They want to “intervene” early for the best ROI on their HUMAN CAPITAL investments. In the social impact economy, this isn’t about sound business practices, it is about social engineering.
A Chief HAPPINESS Officer? Really?!? I guess that coincides perfectly with HAPPYTALISM. Ugh. … “It’s a very good and efficient system to reduce long-term absence and dropout,” says Van Hoof.
Axa Belgium S.A., a Paris-based insurance company, has beefed up existing infrastructure. The company already employed a wellbeing team of eight and trains managers how to converse with employees about mental health, allowing them to intervene before problems arise.
“People that already had difficulties before the pandemic—now life becomes even more difficult because it’s an extra layer of problems,” said Axa chief happiness officer Elke Aelbrecht, who works out of the company’s Brussels office. The company created digital toolkits for both employees and managers on relevant topics like stress, fear, insecurity and parenting.
Chief “Happiness” Officer? WTF! This all ties in with the UNNWO mantra. Bloomberg news of course. How perfect the timing. And btw, all of that predictive analysis is done with AI deep learning. Those very examples are used in training AI how to predict health issues and cluster the groups of people that are more likely to be prone to such health risks. Thus, you can place bets on them, umm I mean “invest impactfully” on them.
exactly! And they even use the language of “big bets!”
oh wow! Well, at least they are telling you in your face what they think of yur health. Pretty sick.
And another post from her:
In this new 4th Industrial Revolution, now rolling in and governed by AI, 5G, blockchain, smart contracts, IoT, surveillance cams, digital ID, self-driving cars, automation, robots, drones and a cashless society, we see a new world order that will force everyone to meet the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. This new system is Technocracy. A totalitarian system much like China and possibly worse. Slowly but surely, more and more people will become unemployed and replaced by automatons and machine. This is the true nature of what you are witnessing all around the world. The united effort to consolidate land, water, resources and human capital and distribute it in a prescribed manner dictated by AI and blockchain based smart contracts. Meet your new citizens. Digital cops, digital employees and digital citizens.
“The police have unveiled their first AI officer, with hopes she’ll soon be smiling and blinking out of screens in stations all around New Zealand.
Ella, the artificial intelligence cop at the centre of the police’s new digital services, was revealed at the police national headquarters in Wellington this morning. Ella, which stands for Electronic Lifelike Assistant, is part of two new digital kiosks police have designed to help reduce queues in stations and to provide a modern way to connect with the public.
Designed as a mix of 26 different people, Ella is the brainchild of project manager Erin Greally, and will primarily be available only at the headquarters building in Molesworth St, where users can ask for information or be connected to whoever they’re visiting.
If the three-month pilot goes well, police hope to have Ella’s friendly, CGI face spread across kiosks throughout the country.
The other kiosk in the pilot is the police connect service, which people can use to ask for information on commonly asked questions, report a crime, or be connected to someone at the call centre.
During the pilot, these kiosks can be found at the Wellington, Johnsonville, and Featherston stations, but Commissioner Mike Bush said they hoped to have them in stations across New Zealand, as well as non-police locations.
“We believe we could put these anywhere.”
The kiosks will have CCTV monitoring and other alarms built into them.
The new services were “a continuation of the modernisation of the New Zealand police force”, he said.”
“BIG PICTURE: They deployed military to deal with the riots under the Insurrection Act of 1807.
Now imagine militarized police patrolling your streets, indefinitely, to prevent any kind of civil disobedience. Imagine this plus another possible lockdown in the fall.
Welcome to the engineered police state.
You’re already used to being imprisoned in your home. You’re already used to being banned from public assembly, from freedom of association, from going to church, from taking your children to school. You already have mandatory mask rules, so you’ve got a muzzle. You’ve got social media shutting down anyone that veers from their chosen narrative, no matter how inconsistent and false it is. You’ve already got the idea being floated that people can be taken forcibly and quarantined indefinitely. That they can take your children from you. The idea is being floated that they can, without your choice, inject or even implant you, with whatever they deem is best for the health of the common good. Now add possible bans on any protests. Curfews in all major cities. Militarized police patrolling the streets in what amounts to a war on the citizens.
I envy those that still believe things will go back to normal, and that this is not all connected. That this is not all manufactured. It very much is.”
And some replies to this post:
People bought the laughable fake official story about 9/11. They easily removed our rights, and got us used to ‘showing our papers’ and being inconvenienced for ‘our own safety’; then people bought the official stories on the fixed elections, several obvious smaller false flags, the reasons we need to go to other countries and regime change them, or rain bombs on their citizens, or remove their heads of state. Americans buy all this obvious bullshit. So it will be a walk in the park removing the small remaining rights we have, to bodily autonomy, and full government control over our every move. It will be a snap.
our media’s going crazy covering the riots in a black man bad type of way. Facebook going crazy with every left winger in Britain standing in solidarity with Black Lives Matter hashtags. Protests being organised for them in London by Antifa yet they are to stupid to see that. They simply want to virtue signal their anti racist credentials. 🙄
yes, true. And they don’t realize that these organized protests are not organic. They are funded and funded by people that have a vested interest in the overall outcome. They are being manipulated by people that are masters of group and mind manipulation. It just never ends.
I have been on several socialist forums known for their advocacy of continuing the lockdown for ever. I asked for opinions or comments on the breaking of the social distancing rules they are so passionate about. Silence, absolute silence. Not one person has responded to my questions. Tells you everything you need to know about intelligence levels. They are so confused by this they don’t know what to think. Yep it goes from bad to worse and back again on a daily basis.
I sometimes think we’re swimming up a raging river, making no headway up the river. What does it take for them to realize they are being manipulated and controlled? When they see their children ripped from their homes? When they get thrown in FEMA camps? I mean, what more evidence do they want?
the only answer and glimmer of hope I can offer is this. When I choose to talk to certain people they instantly get it. They get it because they are awake but don’t know what they don’t know. As soon as they are given a Road in they are up and running and on it straight away. Others who I try to talk to and give up in minutes as they are, what I don’t know, unconscious. The politically awake often tend to be those of a spiritual nature and are able to listen and be comfortable with the not knowing and the luminal space. The others tend to be spiritually dead and political party politic Gob shites. I don’t really have any answers just theories.
yes, we are very fractured and factioned. People have been pitted against each other and others either don’t want to know or are mentally clueless and don’t want to change that. But, I keep reminding myself that you only need a small percentage to make a difference. 3%-5% of the populaton would be a huge number of people to have in unison. If only.
I have posted this type of thing so much my friends are probably tired of it, but I really think this is what it’s going to come down to. I worked for a sheriff’s office and the courts for many years. Most people do not know that a sheriff is over everyone in his/her county, even the President and Governor. A sheriff answers ONLY to the citizens in the county that he was elected by and has sworn to uphold only Constitutional laws. Spiro has been interviewing many sheriffs. Many are speaking out and many regular officers are, too. Why are they getting censored? Because it doesn’t matter what illegal “laws” that are passed, if they are not enforced, they don’t exist. Please watch.
One of these guys is obviously Soros, though another is NoVo, which also is funding CASEL and the SEL stuff in schools.
It’s not just the socialists who don’t realize they’re being used. I’ve been mocked and called a Democrat and “an idiot” by some of my old friends in the conservative movement for daring to suggest that the Trump vs. Biden was a distraction and a show like Trump vs. Hillary was. All this stuff about Pelosi ripping up speeches and impeachment and all of that was just smoke and mirrors. Yet, if I bring up what’s really going on, I either get asked if I’m drinking or else told that I’m helping the Democrats.
Charles Koch has been funding a lot of Tea Party groups and Soros the “Resistance” groups. Yet, despite them supposedly being enemies, they’re working together on open borders, Common Core, criminal justice reform, buying “fact checkers” (Yes, both Koch and Soros give money to the Poynter Institute which certifies the “fact-checkers” of Facebook.) Loads are afraid, and even I have to trust in God and not get daunted by this fear, that if we back down from Trump and the GOP and stop letting them walk all over us, that the Dems will win and push the Equality Act and the Green New Deal and all of these horrible bills and that freedom in America will cease to exist and that Trump is the “lesser of two evils”.
yes, they both are on the same side, pretending to be enemies. The goal of both sides is to keep us divided while they accumulate wealth and power and ultimately full control of the populace. I never buy into any kind of group identity. They are all controlled by powerful interests that are looking out for themselves. It’s one big charade.
“This is important for all of us to be aware of, not just the people attending these protests. Any time we are told a protester threw this or “rioters” set fire to that, we must take this information with a very large grain of salt, because we usually won’t be able to know it wasn’t an undercover cop acting as an agent provocateur to shape a narrative and justify more use of force to disperse the crowd. The idiot with the umbrella did it in a very ham-fisted and obvious way, and we can expect other police infiltrators to be more clever about it as well. This is not to say none of the anger we’ve seen exhibited at these protests is real and grassroots; people have a lot to be angry about, and surely much of the destruction we’re seeing is the organic result of way too many people being pushed way too far by a cruel and abusive system. It’s just to say that we should all be as skeptical as we would be when dealing with any other narratives we know powerful factions have a vested interest in manipulating, and not treat any claim about protester behavior as a certain fact. The powerful few are afraid of the many. Always have been, always will be. And there’s nothing they and their goon squad won’t do to try and rein in any group which poses a threat to their power if they can get away with it.”
Police corruption…. “Its believed Ortis had helped organised crime gangs murder uncover officers, by providing classified information that allowed gangs to track their victim by turning the victims own phones into a tracking device. Ortis had also over seen the billion of dollars money laundering investigation involving Russian and Mexican cartels using New Zealand and Australian banks. Otis arrest has caused a tsunami within Five Eyes ranks as becomes clear corruption reaches the highest levels of New Zealand and Australian society and political circles and causing concern among other Five Eye members.”
In it together… Hmmmm “Members of the Five Eyes intelligence bloc are already raising questions about the type of information accessible to Cameron Ortis as the director of an intelligence unit within the RCMP, diplomatic sources tell CBC News. The Five Eyes, made up of Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia, is one of the world’s leading intelligence-sharing networks, linking some of the most powerful countries in the world.”
Time magazine: Since Eric Garner died five years ago while being wrestled to the ground by a New York City police officer in a case that sparked national outrage, few instances of civilian deaths at police hands, either accidental or intentional, have ended with cops facing trial. According to Mapping Police Violence—one of the few groups that tracks deadly police encounters in the absence of a comprehensive national database—law enforcement officers in the U.S. intentionally or accidentally killed more than 6,800 civilians between 2013 and 2018. Other groups and media that track data report similar figures. In 2017 and 2018, KilledbyPolice.net said more than 2,300 people were shot and killed by police, and the Washington Post recorded 1,978 instances in the same two-year period. Among deaths reported by Mapping Police Violence, an officer was charged with a crime in 1.7% of the cases, says Samuel Sinyangwe, a policy analyst who co-founded the on-line non-profit site, which compiles data from news articles, police reports, social media and other sources. https://tinyurl.com/yckuec62
And another post from him:
Who We Are Crisis Solutions have prepared crisis events for clients in financial services, retail, entertainment and automotive industries, as well as for national and local government organizations. We have worked with both large organizations with over 200,000 global employees to smaller business enterprises with under 50 members of staff. Crisis Solutions’ knowledge as of the crisis management plans and performance of these teams places us in a unique position to understand how crises evolve in the real world.
Leaders in crisis simulation and Training The global leader in the delivery of crisis management and business continuity crisis exercising and training, Crisis Solutions are the preferred provider of crisis management exercises, simulations, workshops and training for some of the world’s largest and well-known organisations.
Our specialist knowledge in crisis simulation exercises and business continuity plan testing has been gained from delivery of thousands of crisis management exercising and training events.
Solutions Our role play actors are psychologically trained in criminal and victim behaviour. They bring intense realism to simulated mass casualty incidents on the battlefield, during kidnap and ransom and emergency evacuation situations and in hostile threat incidents in urban or public places. In so doing, CrisisCast provides learners with an irrevocable first encounter with the emotional challenges of any hostile incident.
Cast Our crisis management actors rehearse and deliver in teams of two. We find that saves fees on directors and wranglers and gives each actor responsibility for his or her ‘buddy’. So our minimum offer is for two actors to work with you in a classroom environment for a day. But we can – and do – supply up to two hundred fully trained and rehearsed actors. The way we do this is by building teams of twelve (six pairs per team) and each team of twelve will have a wrangler whose job is to make sure all logistics are handled for his team; from casting and contracts (including NDA’s), to being paid and put safely on the bus home. The Team Wrangler will also be responsible for Health and Safety during a simulation.
Prosthetics Make up, wounds and blood are created by professional makeup artists who are credited in film and television for managing highly effective and sometimes horrendous injuries. We really recommend good make up because it shocks – and that generates the sort of feelings we want trainers to be able to identify in simulations.
A big step towards a highly surveilled totalitarian U.S. One step closer to 4IR Technocracy!
“Customs And Border Protection Reaper Drone Appears Over Minneapolis Protests
The unmanned aircraft looks to be surveilling the city, which has seen increasingly violent protests following the police killing of George Floyd.
The drone’s callsign, CBP 104, identifies it as one of CBP’s older Predator B types, which are configured for overland surveillance. The primary sensors on these drones are electro-optical and infrared full-motion video cameras in a turret under the nose, though they can also capture still imagery using the Lynx synthetic aperture radar. They also have data links capable of sending this video and imagery back to control stations on the ground in near real-time.
Other avialable data indicates that this particular unmanned aircraft is operating from Grand Forks Air Force Base. CBP Predator Bs typically fly from this base to conduct patrols along the U.S.-Canadian border.
The unmanned aircraft’s ability to stay in the area for up to 21 hours at a time would make it an ideal asset for persistently monitoring the protests and rioting across Minneapolis. It could help law enforcement personnel best focus their resources in response to developments they might not otherwise be able to see and to generally document the situation as it continues to evolve.
The exact authority that CBP is operating under in order to support state and local officials is unclear. The agency does have controversial authority to conduct various activities within the United States inside a 100-mile-deep buffer area along the country’s borders, but Minneapolis is outside that defined area.”
An adviser to the ID2020 Alliance, which aims to bring digital identities to billions of people, has resigned over the organization’s direction on digital immunity passes and COVID-19.
In her resignation email Friday, Elizabeth Renieris cited ID2020’s opacity, “techno-solutionism” and corporate influence along with the risks of applying blockchain to immunity passes.
“At this stage, I can no longer even describe what ID2020’s mission is with any confidence,” wrote Renieris, who was one of six members of ID2020’s technical advisory committee. “All I can perceive is a desire to promote decentralized identity solutions at all costs.” Renieris (an occasional CoinDesk contributor) is a fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University and an expert in cross-border data protection and privacy issues. She was previously in-house counsel at two digital identity startups.
Her concerns about the technology, which highlight the trade-offs between health and privacy during the pandemic, are spelled out in a white paper published in mid-May. She says the introduction of immunity passes could interfere with people’s privacy, freedom of association, assembly, and movement.
“Blockchain-enabled ‘immunity certificates’ or ‘immunity passports’ for COVID-19, if implemented by public authorities, would have serious consequences for our fundamental human rights and civil liberties,” she writes.
The discord within ID2020 hints at larger debates around where to use distributed ledger technology (DLT), and where it may create more problems than it solves. But when it comes to the issue of immunity passes, the stakes seem higher. Renieris worries about how the influence of corporations like Microsoft may influence the development of these systems.

Anti Fed Ed Warriors, a new article is set for in the morning, in the meantime, take about 45 minutes to listen to my latest interview on “Living In the Solution” with Dr. Elaina George. You’ll be glad you did. Author Lynne Taylor the Common Core Diva, joins Dr. George to discuss how government is using the COVID-19 crisis to further entangle itself in education.
It is very unhealthy to wear a mask for 7 hours a day every day. What the hell is wrong with these people? Breathing in your own Co2 creates hypoxia. It can cause organ damage/brain damage.
My son started to practice football this week and they are running with masks. One of the boys in the team started throwing up during practice today.
I am so sorry. That’s insanity. It’s like they are trying to shut it all down! Make it so difficult for our kids to do anything. All they want from our kids is to sit behind a screen for hours so their data can be collected.
HA HA “For any parents who don’t want their kids wearing masks next year. You might want to contact your local school boards and let them know.” What a joke. Like the freaking school board cares what the parents want.
they don’t. Local school boards are for show to make the parents think they have control or say. All decisions are already dictated and made. I have been to meetings and have been the only parent there. It’s sad how many parents are so disengaged and just assume their boards are making the best decisions. There is no push back.
or they feel that it is pointless to go, as the school board pays no attention to as anything said.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
“it just lives in a digital wallet on a smartphone, rather than a physical wallet” is NOT a true statement. Your digital money would be held at the central bank and your wallet only holds the balance that is on the blockchain held by the central bank. Unless the user is a holder of the private key (of a public-private encryption key set), then you are holding nothing. You are just holding a balance statement and have to have the central bank make the purchases for you in real time. It is not a true cypto like bitcoin.
These are deceptive banking systems.
Here is an example to help you understand more easily. Here goes…
Think of your email server as your bank. Think of your email address as your public key. Everyone can know your email so it’s public. Think of your email password as your private key. You never give this out to anyone.
In order to get to your bank account, you use your public key just like you use your email address to get to your mail. You use your private key to get into your bank account just like email password to get to your mail.
Now suppose you were not allowed to have your password to get to your email, but instead could only request to see your email. Because you were not ever given a password. That would really suck.
Well, that is how these central banks plan to issue crypto money.
They will only give you a public QR code on your phone to access your account. You are already registered with that bank. So they know who you are and what you will withdraw and deposit, along with ALL transactions you make all day long.
They hold the private key, so you do not have direct access to your money. They have access to your money. Your digital wallet holds NO MONEY! It ONLY holds the QR code that accesses the bank account and you never can withdraw from it. You can only deduct from it via any and all transactions.
You never hold your own money. THEY hold it. You NEVER can withdraw your money. Where would you withdraw It to? Cash is gone! Your wallet does NOT hold money. It ONLY holds a QR code to your account.
What this means is that if you are for any reason out of step with the government (or any other agency), you money can be frozen and your wallet is useless.
I hope you now understand how a FED coin or any other central bank blockchain based digital wallet and cryptocurrency works.
Bottom line is, do NOT let your government eliminate cash!
And here is the post that he quoted:
“People in China are no strangers to digital payments—if anything, it’s easier to move around and shop in Shanghai or Beijing with an Alipay or WeChat Pay smartphone app than it is bearing a pocketbook filled with yuan notes. Now the Chinese government has begun a pilot program for an official digital version of its currency—with the likelihood of a bigger test at the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022. Some observers think the virtual yuan could bolster the government’s power over the country’s financial system and one day maybe even shift the global balance of economic influence. Most money that gets swapped around electronically is just credits and debits in accounts at different banks. China’s digital cash is designed to be an electronic version of a banknote, or a coin: it just lives in a digital wallet on a smartphone, rather than a physical wallet. Its value would be backed by the state. But virtual cash would be quicker and easier to use than the paper kind—and would also offer China’s authorities a degree of control never possible with physical money.”
You do realize that with such a system, they could effectively shut down all gun and ammo purchases. How do 2nd Amendment supporters not realize this?
I know! They can do anything they want to us. This would be absolute control of our activities.
This is why I have been warning for so long.. and am posting this.
Did you know that there were laws passed in Canada and the US back a little after the 2008 bailout, if I recall, that made all of your money in the bank property of the bank, basically? In other words, if the bank were to go under for any reason, they could use all of the deposits to pay off their debts. The FDIC, as you know is not going to bail you out, or at least most of us, but probably none of us. I was on Market Watch a lot when someone posted that. There was a disgruntled GS banker who actually helped me get my state retirement out and rolled into an IRA shortly before the 2008 crash. I didn’t roll it all out in time, but most of it. He saved me about 40% that I would have lost if I hadn’t done that. Of course, he and all the others knew ahead of 2008 that there was going to be a crash. I started thinking about it when our credit union was having financial problems. Credit unions have their own version of the FDIC, but we all got a letter saying that if the credit union did not get bought out, that they would have to use our shares (deposits) to pay off their debts! They would have to call in all the loans (mostly car loans), but could not touch our IRAs. They were bought out by Gesa, but that sure woke me up.
yes I knew that money in bank accounts could be used to bail out banks a few years ago. Disgusting! I did not know about the credit unions though. The whole system is rigged. And this new system would be 100% worse than any of those. Scary!
Is it time to get out of all banking, including credit unions?
I don’t know. I think the interest rate is negative which means your accounts are paying the banks for you to keep your money there. If the banks go completely digital, then paper cash might not be an acceptable form of currency. So I would just buy tangibles goods, if it came down to it.
Would we be able to convert our “money” to digital money?
I’m sure there would be a window of time to allow conversion. You would have to use India as an example. They went from cash to complete digital and went bonkers.
no we have not gone completely digital – the biometric digital id, adhaar card was pushed hard first, till most of the population was covered (else no services / utilities for daily life functions were possible : passport/ travel / phone / bank / ration card / any/all gov services ++) – then came the demonitization which was of two denominations of the INR currency (Rs 500 & Rs 1000, the most commonly used cash notes) it was announced as the way to remove corruption and “black money” … it’s only recently research revealed that the gatesfoundation / cash alliance was behind this devastating experiment. In fact, most of what we have seen play out globally, during these months of the “plannedemic”, were first tested here in India : biometric/digital ID – Adhaar card / demonitization – cashless economy / lockdown – Kashmir annexation (they’ve been in lockdown/curfew since August last year)
India has been turned into the world’s biggest open-air laboratory for extreme financial experimentation, after the Modi government decided, at the drop of a hat and apparently without warning even the banks, that the two biggest denomination notes were all of a sudden worthless, to be replaced by new notes. Before Modi’s fateful decision, on Nov. 9, the 1,000 rupee ($14.67) and 500 rupee ($7.33) notes accounted for 86% of India’s cash economy, which itself represented well over 90% of the country’s retail transactions. The result has been widespread financial and economic chaos. Consumption in the cities dropped considerably. In the countryside, where bank branches are few and understaffed, the economy has ground to a shuddering halt.
What was the role of the USA to forge a ‘cashless-economy’ in India, just prior to Demonetisation? | 02 Aug 2018 Devdan Chaudhuri Demonetisation – the ‘Mother of Bad Ideas’ – was the most critical policy action of the Modi Government, and also one of the most critical policy actions by any Government in the history of Independent India. But we still don’t have any clear answers to a Mount Everest of unanswered questions: what really led to the policy decision, who was the actual adviser of the Government, whether any ‘socio-economic viability study’ was done before putting the entire nation through the ordeal, why the implementation slacked, what was the volume of the new notes which were printed, why The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is still unable to release all the data pertaining to Demonetization and so on. We urgently need laws which will compel every Prime Minister – from any political party – to conduct open press conferences; we also need an official spokesperson of the PMO and the Government who will answer unscripted questions from the press and media. The misty opacity of Governmental doings needs to be cleared with policies which favour openness and transparency. We all know that nothing has been more opaque than Demonetisation Policy and the people have the right to know the truth in the midst of organised propaganda, spins, myth making and psychological operations. As a nation, we need to understand, why we suffered – and still suffering – and who are the actual beneficiaries of our collective angst, trauma and loss of well-being.
Thank you for the explanation. Many people are going to be asking questions and the only two examples I know of are China and India. Yet, I don’t know the specifics of their cash to digital transition. We are in a gray area here. You input helps a lot. Thank you.
we’ve all got a piece of the puzzle [name redacted].. as your work helps me understand so much of the blockchain/crypto which I’m grappling to wrap my head around as well .. equally thank you … here’s another piece that gets behind the floated narratives, for a very different and scary view > > > Speaking for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation at the “Financial Inclusion Forum” in Washington, organized by the Treasury Department and USAID, Bill Gates said (min 17): “We worked directly with the central bank there (India) over the last three years and they created a new type of authorization called the payments bank, and those customers will be able to use their mobile phones to perform basic financial transactions. And 11 entities applied, including all the mobile phone providers, and were granted that payment bank status.” “It is a wonderful thing to go in and create a broad identification system. Again India is an interesting example of this. There, the Aadhaar system, which is a 12-digit-identification that is correlated to biometric measures, is becoming pervasive throughout the country. This will be the foundation for how we bring that switch to every mobile phone in India. We are expecting to use these IDs, so that when you show up for any government service, say you walk into a primary health clinic, we will be able to use this ID to bring up your health record very quickly. If you move from one part of the country to another, you will be well tracked and served.”
more and more businesses/merchants (well before lockdown that is – and increasingly so since) used this phone-banking system “paytm” was one – there are others – digital wallets as you’ve explained .. (one needs to fill the paytm or link to bank account, and continue replenishing the balance for useage) it gets down to digital payments being the ultimate heist – if i pay you say a 100rupees cash and buy a sandwich from you, that’s that, we’re done – i’ve got my sandwich, you’ve got the 100rupees you’ve earned. With digital currency/bank debit cards (another version, works the same as a credit card, except it’s not interest one pays, but a “transaction fee”) – so I use paytm or debit card and now I pay 2% transaction fees, so 102rupees for the sandwich i buy – and you have to pay a trnsaction fee of 2% as well, 2rupees on that 100 you earned, for the sandwich you sold … paytm/debit the banksters made 4rupees on that 100rupee transaction .. and you’re left with 98rupees
most fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) also carry an 18% Goods and Service Tax (GST) … so the system, as it always has been, is rigged all the way, at each step .. it’s a racket isn’t it? digital just makes it easier for them to run the racket leaving us prone and exposed and vulnerable to their mechanizations.
I read about the cashless society travesty in India in passing back when it happened. They were saying that it was to catch the people in the black market so that they had to pay taxes. I don’t remember if that was when Bernie and Warren came out with their “payday lender” reason to go to bank accounts at the post offices or not, but the postal services are now Global and it’s really hurting American online companies with the exception of Amazon. They get a huge discount for some reason and so did China. I’m not sure if that’s still going or not. If you go on eBay, shipping for very inexpensive items from China are free shipping. That doesn’t make sense when Americans have to pay much higher shipping so cannot compete. Deals have been made. As I realtor I know that about 25% of people do not have bank accounts. It’s hard for cash people to get financed because of the “pillow money” because they don’t have a record on paper of paying rent, or making other regular payments. That sure didn’t matter once Glass-Steagall was repealed – thank you Phil Gramm and Bill Clinton for that. Anyway, nearly everyone has access to a post office, and many trust it more than banks, so the idea was to give a place for people to deposit their money before it is declared worthless like they did in India. Not everyone was able to deposit their money and lost everything.
The elite bankers, particularly the Rotschildes, took over the banking system of the US in 1913. I believe they were also behind World War I and World War II (they had taken over the banking systems of a bunch of Europe and staged the Russian Revolution so that they could take over Russia as well.) Since they’d taken over Europe in the late 1800’s, they could set things up so that the entangling alliances would start World War I and then the big burden the treaty that ended World War I set up the stage for World War II. They got the United Nations out of all of this, and, if I may say so, also set up the state of Israel. Granted, I don’t think these guys are all working alone, as I’m sure the Vatican has played a big role too. Lately, the Treasury and the Federal Reserve merged. The Fed is now buying up a bunch of stuff. When the monetary systems go under, we could have a chance to break free if we act and kick out this fiat system. If we don’t stop it, however, they will push us onto a global blockchain cashless system. I believe this groups of elites like the Rothschildes and the Vatican are the handlers of those like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Marc Benioff, George Soros, Charles Koch, Warren Buffett, etc.
I also predict that they’ll start trying to take down areas like the Dark Web, again claiming that they’re going after human traffickers, fraudsters, terrorists, child porn, etc, but really they’ll be after the last great anonymity stronghold left.
Also, when you started mentioning these transaction fees, I felt a shiver go down my spine as I recalled some of the Robin Hood movies and TV Series episodes, who Nottingham was always extorting the peasants of England for this or that tax or fee. With this new system of currency, however, they could add whatever tax or fee they felt like and “Robin Hood” couldn’t just steal it back as it would all be digital (unless there’s a way to hack the money back from the central bankers, and, if so, we should look into that.)
My head spins. Amazon packages “The World Health Organization also notes that it’s very unlikely for a package to be contaminated after being exposed to different conditions, and therefore the risk of a person contracting the virus from a package is considered low.”
Cash “Banknotes may be spreading the new coronavirus so people should try to use contactless payments instead, the World Health Organization has said. Customers should wash their hands after touching banknotes because infectious Covid-19 may cling to the surface for a number of days, the UN agency said on Monday night.”
WeChat, through alipay, started pushing cashless payments in 2013/14 although they used before this, it was then that it started to take off. DIDI, uber, where at the forefront of this and really got people used to the idea of cashless payments by offering 50 -80% off the normal cost of a journey. This had two effects, it encouraged people to go cashless but most importantly it was the start of the cash only business to go digital. By 2017 you used wechat app to buy bananas from a vendor in the street markets. ( wechat is an app much like fb, to make a payment you just hold your mobile phone in front of the other person’s phone and that’s the money transferred). What was surprising about this in such a sort period was that it became difficult to find shops that accepted cash. The Chinese always accept new technologies rapidly without thinking of consequences. The gig, or cash economy has all but disappeared in China cities now.
I talked to the top Postmaster around here before he retired and he said that “they” came in in 2006 and busted the union. He said that USPS was made to pay all their profits plus some every year into an unsegregated retirement fund that was around $70 billion at the time I talked to him which was years ago. He said that the people that would possibly receive that weren’t even born yet. The gist I got was that it was being used as a slush fund of some kind. So Bernie and Liz both said that they wanted the USPS to become little banks. They said they were losing money! They were making about $5 billion in profit, but were forced by Congress to put $5.5 billion in that retirement fund. Why? They said so that people without bank accounts could cash checks instead of going to payday lenders! I mean, come on! The postal service is global now, and you can hardly afford to mail a package any more. I was selling antique quilts to Australia and Japan for a thrift store that supports a free clinic. Shipping was about $25 with tracking. Then, overnight, it went to over $70 for shipping and NO tracking to the door. Well, we couldn’t do that. If it didn’t get there we would lose everything. But to ship here from China it was free ornearly free! So where did that retirement fund go? They are saying that they don’t have enough to pay people retirement? Maybe I’m wrong, but there is something wrong when we give a deep discount to Amazon.
Also, I’ve noticed in Illinois that the toll booths started having IPasses for about a buck or so per toll but cash was about $2.00/toll. And, in some places like Florida and PA, some tolls are already cashless only. I see what’s going on. I have only made transactions in cash (if I had to buy something online, then I normally paid someone else back for it for them doing it.) I actually was thinking of buying some books that I wanted from the library itself (sort of as if I’d lost them and had to replace them (though I haven’t) so that I can avoid going through Amazon or whatever as the local book stores have gone under around here some time ago.) My own family seems to get everything from Amazon (or a lot). They ditched cable (well, we still have it but plan to move away from it) but instead have replaced it with Prime (my father did that) and my mother gets tons of stuff from Amazon too. I’d already been wary of companies like Amazon because of how large they are. As they were partnering with Southern Poverty Law Center and blocking some Christian groups that SPLC called “hate groups” from their charities and also blocking anti-vax stuff plus that book of that bloke in England, Robinson, Mohammad’s Koran, I think it was, and realized that they could threaten to deplatform any authors or sellers that didn’t taut the globalist line. Now, Trump has promised to go after Big Tech and them all for censoring us and all, but as he’s done nothing about the public private partnerships of these same companies with Big Government, I doubt that much will happen to Facebook. If anything, these regulations would likely be applied to us but the Facebooks and Twitters will still skate through as before.
China is changing faster than the US and the US (govt.) feels that it needs to keep up using the same technologies as China. Currency control, population control, 24/7 surveillance of its population, data mining every aspect of a human being, meaningless mind numbing jobs, all “for the betterment” of society.
Pandemics, Police Brutality, perpetual war, ALL DISTRACTIONS from the MAFIA which originates all money for nothing as debt to them with interest due them. The profit margin for originating money for nothing is….infinity. One scam. The rest is distraction. Only JFK broke the silence in my lifetime. Executive order 11110. Until a cartoon-like person said in response to a question about the “budget” deficit : “They can just print the money”. “They” hate a rat.
The goal is to tax, impoverish, legislate, and force everyone off the land and force us into what UNNWO/WEF calls mega-cities where you are under control, rationed food, money, energy, and commodified via surveillance and compliance with investors ideas of what to do to you or the earth. Zero freedom. Zero autonomy. “Social Equity” is about impoverishing huge portions of the population and bringing down developed nations, destroying communities, bringing people under central control and stealing our natural resources. Power. It has already progressed in Europe to a public knowledge level. Rosa Koire worked valuing land for imminent domain thus became intimately aware of the totalitarian control represented by the SDGs, that the powers that should not be, are implementing since 1992. Listen to these wise words. You need to educate yourself because we are all indoctrinated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PrY7nFbwAY My favorite comment from this link is this simple truth: “Seems like this virus is being used to make us so poor that we lose everything we have so the powers that be can put us where they want…” That is it exactly.
Governments are going to eliminate cash whether we like it or not. As you rightly point out, they will be doing so in an attempt to gain more control & surveillance. It will backfire on them as people forced into the ‘digital cash’ world start realising there are other, better, digital cash options (such as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies). The key is to educate people on the difference between centralised ‘blockchains’/cryptocurrencies like the goverments and banks will push, and decentralised blockchains that give people the safest place to keep their money. Stacking government paper cash is better than keeping it in a bank as one still has access to it. Although it’s depreciating in value every day as the central banks print/counterfeit more out of thin air. It’s already difficult to spend any significant amount in paper cash without the vendor ringing the alarm bells and calling the AML/KYC authorities. Many merchants are restricted by unlawful government regulations on accepting cash. Decentralised blockchains are the only thing I can see setting people free and actually giving them choices on which currencies to use.
And here is another post from him:
From a combat veteran perspective, do you want to know how you militarily control a nation? By controlling its central political, financial and governmental centers. Controlling it’s central communications centers. Controlling it’s core supply chain routes, namely the ports. Controlling it’s core navigation hubs, including major airports and hubs. By controlling major marine navigation vessels and ports, as well as the major land navigation systems into and out of central cities. You don’t need to occupy the entire rural and small towns in a country. You don’t need a full scale occupation. You just need to occupy the core centers of finance, trade, energy, politics and communication, and you will effectively have control of the ENTIRE nation.
So, as a military guy, that has been in combat and has seen this before, I can’t help but see what is happening here, and I can’t help but wonder if we’re under a military operation. A hostile invasion. The similarities are striking!
And here is the post that he quoted:
If you’ve kept up at all with the expansion of IMPACT INVESTING opportunities into FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS, you will see that this situation is EXACTLY what social engineers have been waiting for in order to control consumers’ food choices.
Revolution Foods, which delivers federally-reimbursable meals to school-aged children, has been featured prominently in TIME Magazine. It’s CEO is a member of the World Economic Forum.
Impact investing in health outcomes (diabetes and obesity, for example) will be more successful if nutrition is managed. A recent issue of TIME discussed “personalized” nutrition plans based on DNA analysis.
Are we ready to relinquish control of our bodies to the government and venture philanthropy? These are many of the same folks who have a history of supporting eugenics policies.

So that means that any child with and IEP that will bring down the school or district grade and is not making learning gains can be sent to HORIZONS? Currently there is just over 20% of the 417 students at HORIZONS that have IEPs.
That means that 84 of the students at HORIZONS are ESE students.
Is your child one of these children being tossed away to Horizons where their FSA or iReady score won’t hurt the teachers VAM score or the school grade?
You do know that HORIZONS did not earn a school grade, ever. This school has become the dumping ground of far too many children of color and who are ESE. That is how the school grading system is played, parents. If the school feels that your child is a risk to their grade they will even go so far as to make up a fake disciplinary record or they will expel your child enough times for petty issues so as to make your child eligible for Horizons based on behavioral issues.
When you are sent to Horizons the district denies your child their DUE PROCESS RIGHTS to a fair hearing before your child is tossed away and is forced to “serve time” at Horizons Academy.
Enough is enough parents. Your child deserves a free and appropriate public education in a traditional public school not an alternative school that now holds kids from grades Pre K to 12. This not ok. Horizons Academy is the START of the SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE. Parents, you must start educating yourselves on your child’s rights to a FAPE- a Free and Appropriate Public Education.

Here is a post from a friend of mine:
D.C. bunch are planning on another trillion dollar stimulus package – Be sure and hold on to a life raft – We are going to sink like a ton of bricks
You think the situation is bad now , wait until half the country is unemployed and the other half is working 3 days a week to fund the government , somebody better be making tons of money to go into paying taxes so people can receive benefits … It want change even with a new president .. We had another 1.84 million humans to sign up for unemployment … The clock is ticking ..
And another post from her:
PMorgan Chase is committed to creating a more sustainable future for the employees, customers and communities it serves. That’s why we’re taking additional steps to address climate change and further promote sustainable development. In 2020, we commit to facilitate $200 billion to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including $50 billion toward green initiatives that also fulfill our 2017 clean financing target.
Seriously?!? This isn’t good. This is destroying the human elements of life. Labels, labels, labels. Everyone will be categorized and personalized until there’s nothing but machine architecture left.
They start this with babies, btw.
And here is the post that she quoted:

Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radial sex ed group:
🔥 WARNING – GRAPHIC CONTENT 🔥
Amaze videos are used in MA schools. Watch this video and see how it normalizes watching porn to kids. This is the kind of irresponsible and inappropriate content that is being included in CSE lessons.
Many MA school districts are using Human Relations Media (HRM) for sex ed across all age groups.
Watch the trailer to Teen Romantic Relationships. If you skip to the two-minute mark they start to discuss “hooking-up.” The moderator acting as an educator in the video states: “So no matter if you want to hook-up or want a relationship, the key take away message or the key ingredient in that is to communicate. When it gets sticky and people get hurt is when one person wants a relationship and one person wants a hook-up.”
The message to the young students is that the issue is not with meaningless hook-ups, it is with a lack of communication. A clear takeaway from the clip is that these impressionable teenagers think that it is okay to just “hook-up” with people so long as you communicate.
Is this a message that you want your child to get in their sex ed class? Is “hooking up” for sex emotionally, physically, and spiritually healthy for your teen?
Opt your child out of sex ed. Find opt out letters that you can use to give to school officials in the announcement and files section of this group.
The proposed Growing Climate Solutions Act directs the USDA to create a program that would help the agriculture sector gain access to revenue from greenhouse gas offset credit markets.
The bill is co-sponsored by Republican Senators Mike Braun of Indiana and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Democratic Senators Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan.
In rare bipartisan bill, U.S. senators tackle climate change via agriculture
IMPORTANT! Common Core’s requirements for structured academics – precluding play – in young children is harming the development of their sensory systems.

Bank of Canada exploring digital currency that would replace cash, track how people spend money An internal Bank of Canada presentation says benefits of a digital currency include the sharing of personal information with police or tax authorities
“The school district, with five schools and 4,800 students, plans to test a system that would require each student to wear an electronic beacon to track their location to within a few feet throughout the day. It will record where students sit in each classroom, show who they meet and talk to, and reveal how they gather in groups.”
Eric Schmidt, Google/Alphabet, is on the Trilateral Commission. 4IR SDG2030
This was written in 2018!!
“For Alphabet, these constraints are no more: ubiquitous and continuous data flows can finally replace government rules with market signals. Now, everything is permitted – unless somebody complains. The original spirit behind Uber was quite similar: away with the rules, tests and standards, let the sovereign consumer rank the drivers and low-scoring ones will soon disappear on their own. Why not do this to landlords? After all, if you are lucky to survive a house fire, you can always exercise your consumer sovereignty and rank them down. Here the operating logic is that of Blackstone Urbanism, even if the techniques themselves are part of Google Urbanism.
Google Urbanism means the end of politics, as it assumes the impossibility of wider systemic transformations, such as limits on capital mobility and foreign ownership of land and housing. Instead it wants to mobilise the power of technology to help residents “adjust” to seemingly immutable global trends such as rising inequality and constantly rising housing costs (Alphabet wants us to believe that they are driven by costs of production, not by the seemingly endless supply of cheap credit).”
Cindy Martin, the Superintendent of San Diego Unified, and Austin Beutner, the Superintendent of Los Angeles Unified, the two largest school districts in California, play their role in this money laundering scheme and demand contact tracing for our children.
Why? Because Gov. Gavin Newsom has awarded contracts for contact tracing apps to Salesforce, Amazon, and Deloitte.
We are currently hearing unified cries for “defund the police.” Why? Because with COVID-19 we officially began the Fourth Industrial Revolution and just like with schools and distance learning that will lay off hundreds of teachers, we are being nudged/coerced into the “new normal” of policing citizens which includes geofencing and predictive policing of Black, brown, and poor white people.
What does this have to do with our schools? These districts are the supply chain of the school to prison pipeline and DELOITTE is in the business of creating new policing technologies to reduce human labor costs, increase profits for the 4IR race with China, and geofence poor people in their homes and neighborhoods. If you are saying “defund police” and not “defund contact tracing” YOU AREN’T PAYING ATTENTION.
If you defund the police, instead of reforming them, then what you’ll potentially end up with is a privatized police force.
Privatized police means you get a poorly regulated police force with lower quality training, lower entry requirements, more automation, AI crime predictive analysis (much like Minority Report Pre-Cogs), robots, drones, massive number of surveillance cams with facial recognition, bio-metric detection and mandatory contact tracing apps.
And what happens to the police that are laid-off? They will venture to the next best thing – Contact Tracing! You will have tens of thousands former cops doing contact tracing for the state and corporations. Former cops coming to your home to make sure you are complying with state orders, or off you go to a quarantine center separated from your kids and family!
Remember, for every action there is a opposite reaction. So be careful of what you wish for!
Just keep in mind what they did with private prisons. They turned that into a corporate franchise for profit. Not to mention the quotas for minimum occupancies. Bad quality training and poorly regulated. Just think of what your police force would be like if they all became Blackwater-like operations. Mercenary types units. Combine that with a militarized contact tracers and you have a maximum police state. Slippery slopes.
Seems strange that when the sheriffs and other officers came out publicly NOT to enforce some of these unconstitutional edicts such as shutting down businesses, and making people wear masks (against OSHA regulations in the work place for most employees to mandate them), then all of a sudden we see all this “cops bad” stuff. We see a very iff’y staged looking “murder” of a black man (not saying that doesn’t happen, but the timing and the huge publicity and all the media attention seems obviously suspect. Also seems odd that many of the videos of the sheriffs and other officers speaking out against the unconstitutional rules (not laws) put in that allowed the big chains to operate, but shut down the mom and pop businesses, the videos were often censored. The public only sees bad cop videos online. Why is that? Why not all the good things that officers do every single day. I know that there are bad ones, but who would you get if you defunded the local officers? You would get the mercenaries like the ones who showed up at the NoDAPL protests. Who would you call if you had a heart attack? The dispatchers are most often cops, you know. Why don’t you watch this video and see what the real life sheriffs say? Not all, but many.
Whew.Wake up.Scare people with a virus. Place them in quarantine. Count the number of dead every second of every day in every news headline. Close all businesses. 40,000,000 out of jobs. Peak unemployment. Remove entertainment: parks, gyms, bars, restaurants, sports. No dating. No touching. Mask people. Dehumanize them. Close temples and churches. Create a vacuum. Let depression and anxiety and desperation set in. Then… ignite hatred and civil war. Civil unrest. Empty the prisons because of the virus and fill the streets with criminals. Send in Antifa to vandalize property as if they are freedom fighters. Undermine the law. Loot. Attack law enforcement, but tell government to order a stand-down. We are all being baited by adversarial governments who want to destroy America – China, Iran, Russia. Have the Far Left abuse the racial wars to fuel the fires. And, in an election year, have Democrats blame all of it on the President. Can’t take America in a war, destroy it from within. We are being conditioned, manipulated, and programmed by multiple agendas as never before…..time to DO OUR OWN RESEARCH and MAKE UP OUR OWN MINDS rather than eating everything being spoon-fed to us! I did not write this I copied and paste !!! SHARE….!!!!
The whole government needs defunding. Using the tax dollars not paid to governments, local communities can fund their own security/police forces. They can receive annual statements and progress reports and if the security company are not performing, the residents can remove their funding and try an alternative company. All the time we’ve got top down government control no real change will happen.

If you aren’t familiar with BlackRock, they are the largest investment firm in the world and manage the pensions and permanent school fund (PSF) with TEA. I have been watching them for years given their shift to global impact investing and the predatory “social innovation” movement:
“Some investors haven’t been so receptive of Fink’s message. Sam Zell, a billionaire investor who founded investment firm Equity Group Investments, in an appearance on CNBC on Tuesday said Fink is “extraordinarily hypocritical” in pushing social responsibility. “Either they’re a passive fund that follows the market or they’re a leader that’s setting the tone,” he said, arguing that BlackRock can’t have it both ways. “I didn’t know Larry Fink had been made God.””
BlackRock Authored the Bailout Plan Before There Was a Crisis – Now It’s Been Hired by three Central Banks to Implement the Plan:
“It’s called “Going Direct.” That’s the financial bailout plan designed and authored by former central bankers now on the payroll at BlackRock, an investment manager of $7 trillion in stock and bond funds. The plan was rolled out in August 2019 at the G7 summit of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming – months before the public was aware of any financial crisis. One month later, on September 17, 2019, the U.S. Federal Reserve would begin an emergency repo loan bailout program, making hundreds of billions of dollars a week in loans by “going direct” to the trading houses on Wall Street.
The BlackRock plan calls for blurring the lines between government fiscal policy and central bank monetary policy – exactly what the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve are doing today in the United States. BlackRock has now been hired by the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Canada, and Sweden’s central bank, Riksbank, to implement key features of the plan. Three of the authors of the BlackRock plan previously worked as central bankers in the U.S., Canada and Switzerland, respectively.
The authors wrote in the white paper that “in a downturn the only solution is for a more formal – and historically unusual – coordination of monetary and fiscal policy to provide effective stimulus.”
We now understand why, for the first time in history, the U.S. Congress handed over $454 billion of taxpayers’ money to the Fed, without any meaningful debate, to eat losses on toxic assets produced by the Wall Street banks it supervises. The Fed plans to leverage the $454 billion into a $4.54 trillion bailout plan, “going direct” with bailouts to the commercial paper market, money market funds, and a host of other markets.”
I have never forgotten the first time I was in a 1st grade Detroit classroom observing a student for an evaluation. The 2 team teachers were administering a standardized test to 35 kids – barely room to walk around. The test was the usual, read a sentence and identify the picture of the italicized word. The word(s) were “gourmet menu”. I recall looking up at the teacher in shock. She knew what I was referring to and could only shrug her shoulders (talking not allowed of course). As the test continued, there were other challenging words but that gourmet menu really got me. These kids lived in abject poverty; most they knew of menu was the ones at the fast food places in the neighborhood.
I just found this in a Dec. 5, 2019 presentation to the DallasISD Board. How did I miss the indication that DallasISD has the intent of putting the Daycare facilities out of business in South Dallas. Going after the most vulnerable at an early age. I guess Trustee Justin Henry knew this all the time. Wake up Black people!!!! —
It seems like DISD has one every year.Just bonds piled upon bonds.
DISD going from 0-3 at Rhoads was always part of the plan that was presented to the community. They asked for input and then disregarded it totally. However, we were not told the plan was to fund this expansion with the Bond money.
So DallasISD would have to create a policy for 0-3 year old students. We currently do not have a policy that would address these babies.
I think this is bigger than prioritizing. There is a national effort to start at birth to the workforce.
the indication was there when they began partnering with the community centers but no one was listening to me when I brought this up. Community centers put themselves in a vulnerable situation when they accepted the partnerships.🤔
That was for 4 year olds only. How do you think they will fund the 0-3 children?
it does not matter. The strategy was to find out how they operate and take their employees. We are governored by two different bodies. Good question, maybe the bond or TEA as an expansion of district from birth to 3. Look at Zero to Three and Children at Risk. They have the dollars and so does Commit. That will not be a problem, trust me.
community center were between a rock and a hard place. Parents were told PreK could and would be free. That left little choice for parents in the community we served to ensure care for their children and at a price they could applaud. Those of us providing care for three and four year old children would have found our classroom empty. We all lost money on this venture, but what little we got was better than nothing. Now, it appears, we will get nothing.
And, Commit was the ” wolf in sheep’s’ clothing”.
And now with the pandemic, TEA is working with the TEXAS Workforce Commission to loosen regulations to allow traditional ISDs to serve as daycares. I will go find the link.
it is scary. First they want us to raise our standards and become TRS OR NATIONALLY ACCREDITED now loosen them for the district. Ain’t that a blimp.
yes ma’am. I don’t know what door this opening.
the way it is being presented is that this is to help with first responders and hospital workers needing childcare. If that is a need in a community an ISD can step in and help.
The district has its place. They are becoming more greedy. The are not taking our small business owners into consideration. They have separated themselves from the community.
They will be setup after the pandemic and ready to takeover.
They sneak in these laws while everyone is working!
TEA is being run by a pro charter snake.
IDEA schools are very lock-step, robotic type learning, not in the least bit innovative.
YEP! Todd is pulling the strings! Got the laws to fit so he could profit ! We all must Remember he is Goldman Guy
And he’s tight with Morath. I’ll never forget his connection to Goldman Sachs.
agee! Orlando Riddick, Midland ISD Supt was the Principal at WT White.
Orlando Riddick is new at Midland?
been there long enough they community has a petition to fire.
They are absolutely trying to put the child care facilities out of business. A similar strategy was being used in DeSoto. They were threatening them in order to force a partnership under SB1882.
yes they did. But they didn’t tell us the reason why. Investing in young children yields higher results relative to workforce and life outcomes than do investments in older children and teens. The highest returns will be on interventions directed at ages 0 to 3. Children have achievement gaps documented as early as age 3. IQ doesn’t increase much after a child reaches the age of 10, but interventions can continue to shape a child’s “character skills” to improve workforce outcomes. It’s not just about being smart; it’s about being motivated. Heckman identifies non-cognitive skills as a “target of opportunity” for investors. But first they need to develop an inventory of social emotional skills to assess, track, and measure non-cognitive traits. (For the purposes of predicting outcomes for impact investment evaluation). Having the OECD (promoter of PISA) on board is a good sign. By “improving outcomes” through interventions, they claim poor children will require fewer public expenditures in the future. Social impact bonds will then capture those anticipated savings as profit to be handed over to private investors. Factoring in health outcomes, the return on these investments could be as high as 13% per year, which is HUGE. Pritzker plans to identify cheap, scalable interventions-like parenting apps. (Because all impoverished families really need is an app to tell them what they should be doing to parent their children.) There has been push-back from both ends of the political spectrum against using Pay for Success to Fund early childhood interventions, but they were able to convince communities by using compelling financial structures and promising “results.” In closing, Heckman says you have to get parents on board or the whole thing is going to fail.
No wonder Justin had to deceive the community force the vote in the middle of National Pandemic. He had to play for the pay. This is DISGUSTING
Is this action due to HB 3?
I believe it is connected to HB3 early childhood allotment
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
So I had been meaning to write up weaponized social determinants of health by impact investors for quite some time (Bloomberg) and then the pandemic hit. I am promising myself that I’m going to start writing this up tomorrow. I think this map shows how the quantified self in a surveillance city can scale up to a quantified population via pandemic protocols. Interactive version here – click any title or line and it will open the corresponding record – source material hyperlinked on the right hand side.
Quote from hedge funder Bill Ackman’s letter re Covid-19 strategies moving forward- I suspect this is a signal that Bloomberg’s IoT tracked preventative health impact investing agenda is about to come online in a big way. UN SDG 3 “Beyond the ethical considerations of such an approach, it has become increasingly clear that the high percentage of younger U.S. citizens with co-morbidities – including obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, as well as those who take medications for other conditions that reduce immunity, and/or who smoke or vape – will have a substantially higher death rate than has been experienced in other countries.”
Bloomberg has advanced a lot of anti-smoking legislation and it is linked to health impacts. I’m sure vaping is a part of that. While I’m sure there is a lot of anecdotal information out there about comorbidities, it seems waaaaay to early for any real scientific studies to have been done on this. I mean this guy is a hedge fund investor. Why are we even listening to him? Oh, right – it’s not actually about public health it’s about financial markets.
I’m glad that real health experts are coming forward lately with data to refute the exaggeration of this virus. But sadly, people who are neck deep in fear will be looking for a savior/billionaire to placate their fears instead of believing truth and fighting for our freedoms.
Just to be clear, I want people to have access to the resources they need to live a healthy life, I just don’t think it should require fit-bit data or be linked to global hedge funds.
Look at this. Gates + Zuckerberg teaming up on coronavirus
It’s really vital that people get up to speed on digital identity systems and public benefit access. I was revisiting this white paper about digital wallets and Medicaid today. The token arrangement described in the screen shot documenting chronic illness seems pretty much like what Bill Gates has been floating regarding digital verification of vaccination status and disease exposure. This is from Institute for the Future, Blockchain Futures Lab in 2016.
In 2016, the Institute For The Future was floating the idea of using Blockchain Medicaid records to manage epidemics. It is imperative that we recognize power imbalances in who collects data, who controls it, and to what end. Disease has been used historically to amplify existing systems of oppression.
during a pandemic we all need to stretch our imagination 🤯 “As the Director of Game Research + Development at IFTF, I’ve tried to do my small part to help people get past the mental barriers to anticipating and believing in the full economic, social, and emotional ripple effects of global threats like pandemics. In 2008, I was the game designer for a six-week future IFTF forecasting simulation called Superstruct. During this game, nearly 10,000 people worldwide simulated living through five different threats, including a global outbreak of a fictional virus called ReDS (short for Respiratory Distress Syndrome). (Just a warning: The content of the linked video is a fictional news report on the hypothetical virus that we considered in our simulation, and it may be upsetting to some given the current situation.)”
Quote from the Institute for the Future’s Dallas 2026 study: “A new source of value will emerge as ambient computing and AI make it possible to constantly track behaviors and interactions (online and in the physical world) and instantaneously convert them into mineable data streams. Over the next decade, more people will realize that their behaviors, practices, and even their biological information are generating considerable value for enterprises and organizations. As a result, a marketplace for personal data will develop. As expressed in a 2011 report by the World Economic Forum, “personal data will be the new ‘oil’—a valuable resource of the 21st century.” Already people are becoming aware that their health data is an asset that they can choose to share or not. Ownership of one’s personal data will drive a new set of entrepreneurs who will actively guard their data assets and expect remuneration for their use. They will have new demands for companies that currently extract socioeconomic, social, location-based, financial, and other types of personal data as part of the service offering, and enterprising individuals will be keen to monetize their personal data assets.” IFTF Dallas 2026 study:
Yes. I just read the WEF report. Dallas got it’s own IFTF plan? Wow. No wonder you all got the Ides of March stern smart cities lecture – no brooking dissent on that huh? D*mn.
In the WEF report they envision a mom having to jog to earn enough credits to feed her kids and elderly dad!!!
Oklahoma Public Schools… watch out! This article explains that State Superintendent Joy Hoffmeister has a long track record of allowing online education models to compete with teachers and traditional schools. The current pandemic is an opportunity to boldly reimagine K-12 education. Education reformer Michael Horn, a Clay Christensen devotee, is also mentioned here. It’s worth noting that TU’s former present Gerard Clancy was a big fan of Michael Horn and has participated in efforts to bring about several educational transformations – not only those at TU. Joy Hoffmeister, Gerard Clancy, Janet Levit, Elizabeth Smith – each of these individuals is a P20 pipeliner. That is, someone who wants to align every level of education in order to track student skills and pump workers into the (seriously messed up) economy. Another similarity is that they’ve all traveled to China in order to establish closer ties between China’s educational system and ours here. Tulsa Beyond is a program that comes dangerously close to a learning ecosystem model – ubiquitous surveillance and skills tracking.
This 2006 speech by Bill Gates, Sr. reflects on education reform in Oklahoma. Notice the effort to centralize control of school districts and the praise for George Kaiser’s hand in transforming Oklahoma education.
This 2006 event with Gates was before Gist and Hofmeister. It was Keith Ballard TPS Supt. and Sandy Garrett State Supt in 2006. Ballard is now GKFF Chair in Leadership at OU Tulsa. Here is some info on his work with Gates. “He led the way for the district to work with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on Teacher & Leader Effectiveness, one of only 10 school districts selected in the U.S.”
it is really hard for those of us who have researched education “reform” and know the problems that are being magnified now with the push for online as per Nancy Bailey’s article. All the nice glowing things they say (DeVos & Hofmeister) are embraced by so many parents and teachers who don’t know the poison pill that comes with it. I’ve never been against the use of computers in the classroom or homeschool. We know the great benefits of both but we also know the agenda that is being driven. Computers should be a tool used by teachers at their discretion instead of to replace teachers. To some DeVos’ speech this past week will sound like Hofmeister is a national star. Her words were “comforting” to the unaware but like the bible says her “mouth was smoother than butter, But war was in her heart; Her words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords.” 5 days ago I posted — Schools & Internet — a Digital Divide or a Political Agenda? The political agenda is her goal and I was pointing it out the day after the state school board meeting on Wed. I will relentlessly pursue the goal of educating the public about this. Many are already in agreement with the concerns and many more are listening. It truly is a war for the minds, will and emotions of the children. That is their very soul. Will there be a way made to turn this around or will it just be a time of warning those who will listen. I don’t know but this shut down is a major turn of events. I walk in hope but also know there could come a time we our work is done with this. That isn’t yet……… so on I go.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
This is what the National Academy of Sciences envisioned for IoT in 2001. As we consider what disease surveillance will look like in a future of repeated viral outbreaks (or so they say), what are the implications?
Geez…reading this makes me think they might peg it against human capital valuation…”Called Tradecoin, it will be indelibly logged on a blockchain and anchored at all times to a basket of real-world assets such as crops, energy or minerals. Doing so will help stabilize its value and make it easier for the public to trust it. The core idea is that a broadly useful currency needs both human trust and efficient trade systems.”
Ah, it seems Sandy Pentland at MIT has been running “social physics” digital behavior tracking programs for years in a variety of cities, including Trentino, Italy. This slide from 2012 is interesting.
Predatory philanthropists aren’t “bad” on one issue and “good” on another. Keep that in mind with Bill Gates and public health.
And some replies to this post:
I can’t wrap my mind around the way people seem to compartmentalize with this. Most Ed advocates know that anything gates touches turns to poison in education… but they are completely willing to look the other way with public health? I don’t get it
It boggles the mind…..or even, how quickly the education sector is forgetting the recent past efforts to digitalize education and with a few thank yous and “we feel your pain” are ready to be lab rats again. It’s exhausting. No one seems to remember beyond yesterday.
In fact, in the aftermath….I expect teachers to be begging to digitalize education just in case this happens again….there goes the $$$$ for “quality education.”
I always said VAM was ultimately going to be for the online education programs.
People are compartmentalized by education and profession. They hate intruders on their own expertise, but therefore might be hesitant to call out the same bad actors when they are doing a Dunning-Kruger in other fields, because then it appears as a “personal” or political objection rather than a strictly professional one. Also, money and endless repetition in the hegemonic media really wear down resistance over time. You finally think there’s no point, you think you’re alone, you adapt to the hegemony.
There are A LOT of hardcore educators and activists who know exactly what it means to have Gates money injected into your world. It is poison. For them to set that aside and try and explain it away given his central role in Covid19 treatment – well it’s telling. It makes me wonder are they going to be rushing out to get the Gates-funded vaccination using “innovative” mRNA technology backed by DARPA, the “software of life” if the mortality rate doesn’t end up being really terrible? It will be interesting to see what happens.
Here is a test for you. Should we worry about vaccine safety?
I admit I do have concerns when it comes to Gates’s involvement and an untested platform that is being branded as “Software of Life,” and that people are floating it out there are a possible requirement attached to your digital ID. I mean if this were Ebola – well that would be one thing. If the mortality rate ends up being like a bad flu year – that’s quite another.
I asked that question because the people who rant against the pharmaceutical industrial complex somehow suspends that insight when the issue of vaccine safety comes up. I believe you read about the removal of a Danish physician from the Cochrane institute because he raised concern about the fast tracking of the HPV vaccine. I was trying to make a point here regarding the siloing of insight as it was raised above.
Vaccine safety? They’re immune from liability even without the coronavirus being here thanks to some bill Reagan signed. The government has paid out $4 billion to injured and dead out of taxpayer money via a secret vaccine court. Since that bill, they’ve been pushing vaccines earlier and earlier and updating the number of jabs. The last few years, they’ve been axing religious exemptions and making medical exemptions harder to obtain. They’re also adding other required vaccines such as the HPV vaccine (BTW, HPV is pretty much only sexually transmitted yet they’re trying to require it for 12-year-olds to get into school.). I’d already been looking at vaccine mandates and health emergency overreactions after the “the unvaccinated cannot go out in public” order in Rockland County, NY last year and the big hype over the measles. Currently I know that Illinois and NY have HPV vaccine mandate bills out there. (NY and CA had measles mandate bills last year that removed religious exemptions.)
I think the third rail of vaccines is the threat that if you don’t you’re not just hurting yourself, you’re hurting others. But then you see stuff like this that make you go ummmmm….
There’s a lot of pressure to vaccinate already so this really scares me. If you speak up about vaccinations, you’re targeted as being foolish and uneducated. When my oldest was just over a year he received a vaccine, stopped talking and lost his pincer grasp. This was with a delayed vaccination schedule. I delayed it based on my pediatrician’s advice. She hinted strongly that I should consider this after he stopped breathing about a day after a vaccine when he was an infant. I’m the type to speak up, but I pretty much gave up on speaking out on this I’m sorry to say. It’s like a gang/bullying mentality that you are up against when you try. People don’t want to hear about it or the fact that vaccine companies have absolutely no liability, that the vaccine injury court is funded by our tax money.
I could not agree more. I am so sorry to hear about your experience. I am afraid it is about to get worse. Way worse.Hope your baby is ok.
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
‼️⚠️ Making Proud Choices Student Survey ⚠️‼️
Making Proud Choices is a CSE curriculum that is taught in MA schools. This curriculum is essentially a how-to manual for sexual activity. It assumes that many, if not most teens are already sexually active. It teaches kids inappropriate ways to make condom use more pleasurable and teaches minors who are not legally capable of consenting to sex how to say yes to participate in sexual activity. MPC promotes acceptance of LGBTQ ideology that conflicts with many families personal beliefs and even contains same sex role play scenarios for teens to act out. DVDs that are part of the program include sexual discussions among teenagers and lessons on reducing the risk of STDs, not on eliminating the risk by practicing abstinence. One video contains animated steps to condom use including animated figures acting out vaginal, anal and oral sex. (For a full harm analysis of MPC check the files section of this group.) ⚠️💥⚠️
And as if all of that isn’t bad enough, MPC instructs teachers to give a pre and post survey to students. Kids are asked to answer questions on a scale, and given the option to answer with varying levels of agreement and disagreement. Here are just some of the questions / statements:
-If I have sex during my teen years, then my parents will find out. -If I have sex before I am married, then God is likely to be angry at me. -I plan to have sex in the next 3 months. -If I do not have sex, people will call me names. -If I do not have sex, no one will want to go out with me. -When a condom is used, sex is more fun. -If I used a condom, sex would not feel as good. -Saying we have to use a condom is like saying to my sexual partner, “I don’t trust you.” -I can put a condom on without turning my sexual partner off. -How easy or hard would it be for you to not have sex in the next 3 months? -I have never been mad when people have had ideas different from my own. -I have never said something in order to hurt someone’s feelings.
What gives the school the right to ask such private and sexually charged questions of minor students? These questions are not only inappropriate, but they are an invasion of privacy and seek to influence students with the power of suggestion, planting doubt in a child’s mind about their parents directives and their religious beliefs.
The producers of Making Proud Choices and other CSE curricula know that what the subconscious mind accepts, it will act upon. CSE sends the message loud and clear that it is perfectly normal and okay for kids to be sexually active and that kids have sexual rights. It sells kids on the idea that sex is pleasurable and they can indulge if they want, regardless of what their parents have taught them at home.
Find out if MPC is being taught in your child’s school. If it is, opt them out. Find a sample opt out letter in the files section of this group.🙅♀️⚠‼️
‼️Breaking News – Washington state Governor Inslee signed controversial Sex-Ed Mandate into law on Friday‼️
“Gov. Jay Inslee signed Senate Bill 5395 which mandates a curriculum be available for instruction to students in grades six through 12 in the 2021-22 school year and then all grades, including kindergarten, beginning in the 2022-23 school year.”
It’s always amazing to me how such a gross and unconscionable agenda to sexualize and victimize our children hides behind such unsuspecting language. Look at this quote from the article and then allow me below to translate what is really meant by all of these descriptors.
“The new law calls for phasing in instruction that is age-appropriate. Starting in fourth grade, and continuing through high school, a school’s curriculum should contain instruction in areas such as physiological development, intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, choosing healthy behaviors, health care, developing meaningful relationships, and affirmative consent.”
Physiological Development = Children are taught that both solo and mutual masturbation with others is normal, healthy and a part of natural development.
Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Skills = Children are presented various graphic sexual scenarios and are instructed to role play possible decisions they might make including things like hiding their sexual activity from their parents and convincing their partner to use or not use a condom.
Choosing Healthy Behaviors = Children are taught how to use condoms with inappropriate games like relay race competitions to put condoms on wooden penises, how to use internal condoms for anal sex, or how to use a dental dam made out of Saran Wrap for oral to anal or vulva sex.
Health Care = Children are taught how to obtain abortions, use contraceptives and get STI treatments all without their parent’s knowledge or consent.
Affirmative Consent = Children, who are not legally capable of consenting to sexual activity are taught how to say yes to sex by using phrases like, “Do you want to help me take these clothes off?” “Show me where you want me to touch you.” “Wanna show me your bedroom?”
Please tell me what is AGE APPROPRIATE about any of the above⁉️🙅♀️⚠️
‼️‼️ We must stay alert here in MA and not allow a similar mandate to be passed. ‼️‼️
There is strong opposition to this law and parents and community leaders are already mobilizing to repeal it. Here is an excerpt from the article below:
Mindie Wirth of Bothell is one of those leading the effort. She said Friday that “thousands of individuals” are waiting for petitions so they can begin gathering signatures from friends and family “at the proper social distance.”
“Opposition to this bad law is strong across the state,” she wrote in an email. “As parents we have a responsibility to protect our children from inappropriate, ideology-based curriculum.
“This bill was passed late in the session, on an almost party-line vote, with no amendments accepted, and very little opportunity for ordinary citizens to testify,” she said. “As a public-school parent, I can say that we already ask enough of our teachers, and many school districts simply cannot afford a new, expensive, unfunded mandate.”
‼️‼️ MIP Parents BEWARE of Social and Emotional Learning ‼️‼️
Some of you are reporting that your school district is sending online links to Social and Emotional Learning lessons for your kids while the schools are closed. DO NOT expose your children to these dangerous ideological lessons. I just posted some notes and links to research I’ve done on SEL in the files section of MIP. SEL lessons psychologically prepare students to accept what will be taught through Comprehensive Sexuality Education.
MIP member [name redacted], an Indiana public school teacher who was just recently fired for exposing the agenda behind SEL has the following to say about it:
“SEL is used to change the entire “school culture” and influence the “whole child”. The programs are designed to push everyone to conform to radical left ideology. They want children in these programs to compromise their morals & values to benefit a new age society. (Think just because a girl is uncomfortable with a boy in the locker room, she needs to compromise because we must be accepting of everything.) The program takes over EVERYTHING. Once it is fully implemented in your school, it becomes the priority over academics.
Here are a couple of articles (posted in the comments below) that were written about the same SEL program I experienced. Even though these reference the Leader In Me program, please keep in mind they all have similar playbooks & goals.
It is also important to realize SEL programs are very expensive. My school will be over $150,000 at end of year 3. In our state, grants were offered to get schools going on it from Eli Lily PHARMACEUTICAL company. In return for the grant money, the pharmaceutical company provides counselors (trained in left ideology) to service the students and collects data on the children. Very scary stuff. This is all done without parental consent.
SEL is the tool schools use to bring in CSE, Deep Equity, etc.”
Much like how proponents of Comprehensive Sexuality Education state that their intent is to provide age-appropriate, medically accurate and evidenced based information and guidance about the physical and emotional aspects of growing up and starting relationships, when instead it actually encourages high risk sexual activity for even the youngest of students, makes kids feel pressured to have sex, and promotes LGBTQ ideology, promoters of Social and Emotional learning conceal their sinister goals behind seemingly innocuous and ambiguous language too.
We must be able to see what is behind the language and to discern true intent. SEL is nothing more than a way to psychologically prepare students to accept new cultural norms, to undermine religious and traditional moral belief, and to produce generations of unthinking citizens who are led by their emotions, leaving them vulnerable to be easily controlled by the state.
As with CSE, there are multiple curricula available. To know exactly what is being taught in your child’s school you would need to evaluate the specific curriculum being used. You can request the name from the school and do some research. Although there are many curricula providers, they will have similar content and intended goals.
Here are some posts from the teacher in Indiana who was fired for exposnig what was going on with SEL:
Post 1:
So parents- you know you can’t possibly be responsible enough to care for your children’s social and emotional needs during this time of turmoil. No worries- the public school system has you covered! They are now sending out Social Emotional Learning lessons for part of their E-Learning 🤯. THIS SHOULD INFURIATE PEOPLE! It should also tell you how important this “learning” (programming) is to the school. Aren’t they supposed to teach academics? Let’s not forget the massive cost of SEL and the grants some were given to implement these programs. You think the grants were given out of the kindness & love of children? No! It’s because the school is selling your kids data & influencing them to benefit a radical agenda. So now that school is out, the school needs to continue the program! Those schools that have already used that grant money & signed the dotted line need to pay for the fancy school furniture somehow! It’s like I have been saying- SEL has taken over the schools. Education is no longer about academics- it’s about INDOCTRINATION. If you are a parent receiving SEL stuff in your home during this time please share in the comments. This agenda need exposed!
And a reply to this post:
Our PE curriculum that is being sent for our distance learning is from a website gonoodle.com — odd for PE and then wonder why kids cant sit still 🙄
Interesting,, I have not heard of this website. As soon as it is loaded , it says “whole child” – SEL phrase. I’ll look into it , thank you
It also uses the keyword ‘mindful’ 3 times.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
It’s a very bad sign that one of the three Emanuel brothers is weighing in on Covid-19 registries. “Create a Covid-19 certification system. States should use blood tests to certify people who have had Covid-19, are immune and are no longer contagious. These people could then work in hospitals or other areas where being risk-free would be a benefit.”
Great, just great. “Israeli Defense Ministry Launches COVID-19 Voice-Test Study, March 24, 2020: JERUSALEM — An analysis of coronavirus patients’ voices could yield a “vocal fingerprint” to help detect COVID-19 symptoms in others and prioritize testing and treatment, the Israeli Defence Ministry said on Tuesday.”
It’s not necessarily tied to actually getting an injection. They will put this on Blockchain.
“Medical pattern recognition: Smart profiles could support new medical and epidemiological research practices. Again, without creating vulnerable collections of personal medical data linked to a particular individual, researchers could query millions of profiles to gain high-resolution views of patterns of illness and response to therapies. These queries could include not only medical data, but also all the financial, family, residence, and age information that could reveal a much more complex picture of the correlations among these factors and health outcomes. Some of these patterns could be tracked in real time to manage epidemics.”
We are referring to the “financialization of housing” and the dominant role you, (the Blackstone Group L.P.) play in financial markets through residential real estate. Impact Beyond Returns
I’m pretty sure the UN is waving Blackstone into “impact investing” in “smart housing.” If we accept a ring doorbell and a smart TV and an alexa and Amazon food delivery we can perhaps earn the right to shelter. They’ve leveraged the last “big short” into the financialization of humanity. We’re being shorted, as human capital, but it will probably take another 3-5 years before people understand how it went down.
This is really awful. I was looking around at Blackstone’s page, and found the 2019 chairman’s letter that describes the BILLION of square feet of warehouse properties that Blackstone owns!
From Institute For the Future, the folks who brought us “Learning is Earning” re Blockchain healthcare. What pray tell is “peer to peer insurance”? The profile further supports the potential for new kinds of peer-to-peer insurance and health financing products. By linking the Medicaid information to other health insurance opportunities, it can create an on-demand market for custom tailored health insurance products. For example, it could theoretically configure a plan that provides the best coverage for a nontraditional family with one or more outstanding health requirements—and offer it as an investment opportunity across a wide network of nontraditional insurers.” This doesn’t sound good.
Put a damper on today’s walk seeing 5g install around the corner from my house. Yes, I confirmed talking to installers. Every 1,000 feet. All the telecoms get their own rigs and Verizon in the “backbone” installer for all of it. Pretty much told them where they could put their Fourth Industrial Revolution, too.
Screw the telecom companies. “Introduced this summer, proposed Pennsylvania legislation would strip local towns of much of their zoning authority over small-cell antenna placements in public rights-of-way. The measure would be another blow to local towns that would like to retain control over the antennas when they are proposed for historic districts, in neighborhoods without utility poles, or in front of residential homes.”
I was told basically about the above back in 2005 but I pictured it being used in the suburbs.
I got a tour of a research lab which was in very large building which was basically empty.
Well the plan for rural areas is the satellites – OneWeb.
A FB acquaintance just said he drove across the country—from Montana to Arkansas to North Carolina and saw the same thing. During the pandemic.
and he hastened to point out that he is not a “conspiracy theorist.”
Right? How are these people essential employees?
I mean the thing is that this is actually happening. And the Davos folks have said the plan is to use IoT automation to put millions of people out of work. None of this is ok. That fact that local officials have no say about this is not ok. Even if you aren’t convinced about the health concerns. The 4IR is only going to be good for the billionaires and the military police state.
All of these installations are within a 20-minute walk from my house.
More ImpactMedia support for Mayor GT Bynum. Mayor Bynum has national political ambitions and he, like the billionaires who support him, is using Tulsa as a #BetaCity to further them. We are a proving ground for the development of human capital markets, monitored by digital identity, and policed by hedge fund impact investors.
The red-blue-purple metaphor is one that George Kaiser’s devotees frequently use. Make no mistake, this is not a middle-of-the-road course that our Mayor supports. His track record on education, property rights, and turning a brutal hate massacre into political capital are telling. We must vote him out.
Just my “conspiracy theory” thoughts…. Timeline: 2019: In the months leading up to the Corona virus spreading worldwide, over 1,300 CEO’s stepped down. CEO’s are restricted from selling large shares of their stock. They resigned so they could dump their shares. (Imagine of they sold them at pre-pandemic (high) rates then re-purchased them after an economic “crash” (low rates). Oct 18, 2019: Event 201, John’s Hopkins Center for Health Security along with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, a high level pandemic exercise. Curious coincidence? Nov 15, 2019: The CDC posts job openings for Public Health Advisors (Quarantine Program) in over 18 cities in 14 states. Another coincidence? Nov 17, 2019: The first case of Coronavirus appears in China according to South Morning China Post. Feb 2020: Shoppers clear the shelves of cases of water and toilet paper in Costcos and big box stores across the country in reaction to virus. Why not food or medicines? (Note: water/ TP are two of the largest items on shelves. So, it doesn’t take selling many units to clear the shelves. Also, both can be stored almost indefinitely. A “panic” could easily be started by buying up these items then broadcasting video of “empty shelves”). Mar 12, 2020: Death rate comparison. 1918 Spanish Flu: Est. 50-100 million. Seasonal Flu: Est. 1 billion. Covid-19: 4731. Mar 25, 2020: Democrats allocate millions of dollars to unrelated special interests in Covid-19 Aid Bill. Mar 27, 2020: Ventilators in NY withheld in storage not distributed to those needing them. Cuomo orders 1,100 parole violators released from jails over coronavirus concerns. Mar 31, 2019: Newsom to release 3,500 inmates early as coronavirus spreads inside prisons.
Also, over the course of this lockdown, the media has pushed the narrative of packed hospitals while images/videos have surfaced showing nearly empty facilities.
Also, Bill and Melinda Gates Pledge $10 Billion in Call for Decade of Vaccines | Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Imagine the profit potential in a world wide vaccine offering. Especially if it was mandated.
Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
Utah’s State School Board, despite some very good & valiant members on the Board, is ceding their Constitutionally-mandated authority to control state education standards. Their actions are helping big tech take down local curriculum control. Here’s just one example of how it’s happening. Please share this with your legislators:
On March 26, 2020, Facebook, the anti-family UNESCO & the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) unveiled their partnership on Digital Literacy curriculum. This is Social Emotional Learning curriculum curated for teachers & children & it’s built around mass data surveillance of teachers’ & childrens’ values, attitudes and behaviors.
Lady Gaga’s pro-LGBT foundation is involved in the effort through InspirEd which is one of Facebook’s partners. They call it an “Emotion Revolution.” (There’s really no better way to control kids then to manipulate their emotions).
Does this partnership effect Utah schools & online curriculum? Yes.
How does this partnership work, like other big tech partnerships with UNESCO, to take down local curriculum control? Easy. Through International Education Standards.
I’ll try to explain:
As noted above, one of Facebook’s & UNESCO’s listed partners in the effort is the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). Who is ISTE? In a nutshell: ISTE = Common Core Standards 2.0.
ISTE played a huge role in nudging states into Common Core national standards from 2009-2016. Today, ISTE is nudging states into Global Competency-Based Education & international technology & artificial intelligence standards. In Africa, ISTE’s technology standards have been used to drive Comprehensive Sexuality content into online curriculum. The standards do this by providing the open-data framework necessary for big tech to curate online curriculum for schools, teachers & children. Teachers are trained to be facilitators of online curriculum & nothing more.
Most teachers’ colleges today are training their teachers as technology facilitators. This is due to national teaching standards developed by UNESCO’s favorite education leader, Linda Darling-Hammond. UNESCO credits Darling-Hammond with helping them integrate sexual themes into most curriculum content—largely by controlling teacher training. Darling-Hammond now serves as California’s State Board President.
ISTE’s former CEO Donald Knezek now works for UNESCO. (UNESCO created Comprehensive Sexuality Education standards). ISTE’s current CEO, Richard Culatta, is a BYU graduate that worked as Obama’s Chief Technology Officer. He was tasked with using technology to drive states into Common Core—and now, Common Core 2.0: Global Competency-Based Ed.
Because of Culatta, BYU’s teacher college has adopted ISTE standards for teaching & learning which means that they are training K-12 teachers to be facilitators of online curriculum (curriculum that teachers don’t necessarily see).
Don’t you think it’s convenient that COVID-19 has given big tech another big opportunity to curate online curriculum content & gut local curriculum control? The vast majority of online curriculum will be curated to meet Global Competency-Based metrics. Metrics defined by the international assessment system known as PISA. PISA says that kids will be deemed “globally competent” when they no longer share the same values as their families or schools.
(See PISA’s Global Competency for an Inclusive World, 2016 version).
The only fix for this problem is to set schools free from national & state school grading policy (accountability laws) & allow local parents to choose the standards, curriculum & assessments for their schools. On March 26th Facebook in partnership with UNESCO IITE, International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and other organizations launched their digital literacy program, Get Digital, to provide lessons and resources to help… Read more Facebook in cooperation with UNESCO IITE, ISTE and othe…
Here is another post from the vaccine skeptic group:
So, I drove to my kids high school today….can anyone tell me what this is?! Please tell me it’s just “electrical” stuff. If it is, I’ll be relieved and delete.
*Edit: it would seem most of you are saying it is 5G…I feel sick to my stomach now. I urge you guys to go drive to your local high school, or any school and look around. I did today…almost missed this as I was leaving.
**Edit: So the online 5G maps don’t show any 5G locations/towers in this area. Now I’m confused.
After showing the above images to Alison and asked if these too were 5G, she said:
Yes. I took a bunch of photos today. Ours are a bit fancier – brown but they are the same. Every 1,000 feet.
Here is another post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
Ok, so Njoroge runs the Central Bank of Kenya, got his PhD in economics from Yale, was a senior advisor to the IMF, AND is a member of Opus Dei…also on board with WEF initiatives to examine the creation of a global digital currency (and the Pope is working with Microsoft and believes AI will “solve” poverty). Ok then.
Token‑based CBDC Token‑based retail or wholesale CBDC is said to be held by the owner in digital wallets of various kinds and, like physical cash, represents a “token” or object of stored value that is digital fiat money and that can be directly transacted by owners who are either known or pseudonymous. Because token‑based CBDC centres on the token object rather than the holder’s identity (particularly related to transaction validation), it can arguably afford greater anonymity and fewer user‑identity requirements than account‑based CBDC

Ok. Today I mapped the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine / research enterprise that is running parallel with the Gates-funded Moderna mRNA venture.

Well, they got the digital dollar out of the stimulus bill this time around. We need to educate people about what is underway. I don’t think we can stop it until more people understand what is happening. I do believe this is related to the Federal Reserve’s efforts around human capital investing.
Well we have to realize what is coming is digital slavery, which is a central part of our nation’s history – along with Indigenous genocide (advanced in part through epidemic disease). If we want a different future we have to work to set all of that to right moving forward. I believe we also have to look at this as a movement that will require global solidarity, because it is the billionaire class of the world united against everyone else. We have a lot to learn from communities that have been trying to stand up to the World Bank and IMF and globalization for decades. It is also important to realize that faith communities are very much entwined in this – all of them. So people of faith are going to have to chart a course away from human capital impact investing.

Here is a post from the Florida anti-iReady group:
Edgenuity?? Has anyone used this? Any info on this program?
And some replies to this post:
My son is using it for the first time. Needed his student id # with clay added to it (county school is in) and a password that was provided. He says he takes quizzes on it
Yeah, my daughter’s teacher said they will be using it & I’m just not familiar with it.
So Everfi? I asked if child could opt out. It uses her birth date but just first initial of last name. It’s about mental health but been told it is not personal questions. It’s a health class and it is a graded I think just based on completion but if she didn’t do it it will affect her grade. She is in 6th grade. Thoughts please?
the company is Everfi. I didn’t know anything about it until this home school thing and it’s a graded assignment about social emotional learning and mental health
Check out that company, which is, I believe, the same Everfi you’re talking about, and see if it’s worth handing over that information for a mere participation grade.
I wouldn’t fill out any mental health thing unless you are allowed to look at it first beforehand.
yes I haven’t signed her in yet to check it out but it asks questions about what would you do if this happened or that. It covers mental health addiction I hear human trafficking but I have not logged I. Yet to verify
I agree that is what I am talking to her teacher about but he said she is in a health class and it’s part of the state curriculum that they have so many hours of mental health. I stated that talking about mental health in groups or interactions is different then completing it one line. There are 10 segments all for a grade. I asked if we could have an alternative assignment and he asked me to check it out first. So. I will do that tomorrow
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
This email update has info pertaining to Bloomberg’s Cities of Service Covid response. Find out how medical surveillance will be used to promote the social engineering policy of Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, Jeff Bezos, George Kaiser and the Mayors. Saint Paul, Seattle, Tulsa – sign up for a webinar.
Yipes! Could these also be the cities who early implemented A2030 to ban single-family housing, etc.? How’s that working for everyone with the pandemic? People squished together in apartment buildings…
i think so!! Panelists from National League of Cities, MetroLab, and What Works Cities are listed for the webinar. Lots of other scary links too!
On Bloomberg’s transportation response: “Bloomberg Philanthropies PRESS & MEDIA MAR 30 2020 BLOOMBERG ASSOCIATES CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE PUBLIC HEALTH SHARE Bloomberg Philanthropies and NACTO Launch Online Hub for Transportation Officials Responding to COVID-19 Emergency Latest Offering in the Bloomberg Philanthropies COVID-19 Local Response Initiative to Help Cities Navigate Crisis NEW YORK, NY — Bloomberg Philanthropies and the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) today announced the launch of a transportation-focused online resource hub to give mayors, city officials and other practitioners real-time information on the transportation strategies cities are deploying to adapt to the rapidly evolving international health emergency. The Transportation Response Center is the latest support from the Bloomberg Philanthropies COVID-19 Local Response Initiative to help mayors confront the COVID-19 pandemic. “The coronavirus has disrupted transportation across the nation, but it’s imperative that we keep emergency personnel and supply chains moving, residents safe and transit workers protected,” said Michael R. Bloomberg, Founder of Bloomberg Philanthropies and three-term mayor of New York City. “As mayors and other officials work to do all of that, this new resource will help get effective strategies into the hands of transportation leaders nationwide when they need them most.” Transportation agencies suddenly face new challenges, even as workplaces shift to working from home and overall travel demand drops across the U.S. From innovative measures to enhance social distancing while retaining critical transportation to hospitals and healthcare facilities and essential services like grocery stores, to the need to keep front-line employees safe, transportation agencies across the U.S. are mobilizing rapidly to respond to changing needs. The Transportation Response Center is a clearing house for actionable, adaptable practices already implemented in many cities, such as: Seattle and Austin converting parking spaces into restaurant food pick-up zones; New York, Seattle, Detroit and other cities allowing rear-door bus boarding or waiving transit fares; and cities like Philadelphia and Minneapolis opening former vehicular traffic roads exclusively for pedestrians and bike riders in order to allow citizens to exercise outside while maintaining healthy social distancing. “Transportation systems play a key role in responding to emergencies and need to be nimble,” said Janette Sadik-Khan, NACTO Chair and Principal, Bloomberg Associates. “The COVID Transportation Response Center has the new rules of engagement cities need to keep people moving and support the local and national response to this unprecedented pandemic.”
Alison Hawver McDowell and I have been comparing notes with parents across the country who have studied the intersection of education and “social impact” finance. She was in Dallas in January and wrote about her visit:
She has taken her research above and beyond what I have done by connecting this pandemic to behavioral data and social control. Her latest today:
Pandemic, Public Health, Policing, And Pay For Success “Solutions”
“My research into “pay for success” over the past three years made it clear that health and behavioral health data would be used to fuel the growth of “social impact” finance around the world. Over the past three weeks, however, it has dawned on me that it will also likely be used as a tool of social control. As populations become more volatile with the roll out of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, digital quarantine will be a powerful method of regulating economic systems and human bodies.”
“Google has complete control over the data collection, use, and retention practices of the ‘G Suite for Education’ service, including the biometric data and other personally identifying information collected through the use of the service, and uses this control not only to secretly and unlawfully monitor and profile children, but to do so without the knowledge or consent of those children’s parents,” the lawsuit says.
Google is using its services to create face templates and “voiceprints” of children, the complaint says, through a program in which the search giant provides school districts across the country with Chromebooks and free access to G Suite for Education apps. Those apps include student versions of Gmail, Calendar and Google Docs.
The data collection would likely violate Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act, or BIPA, which regulates facial recognition, fingerprinting and other biometric technologies in the state. The practice would also likely run afoul of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, a federal law that requires sites to get parental consent when collecting personal information from users who are under 13 years old.”
Too bad school kids are forced to use Zoom. Ironic that the CEO can escape but kids can’t. “The CEO and founder of Zoom Video Communications has offloaded more than $38million worth of stock in the company now facing intense scrutiny over alleged privacy breaches…”
Zoom sued for sharing pii with companies. Violation of privacy law. “According to the suit, Zoom’s privacy policy doesn’t explain to users that its app contains code that discloses information to Facebook and potentially other third parties.
The company’s “wholly inadequate program design and security measures have resulted, and will continue to result, in unauthorized disclosure of its users’ personal information,” according to the complaint.
Robert Cullen of Sacramento is seeking to represent other users and asked for a declaration that Zoom violated California’s Consumer Privacy Act. He’s seeking damages under the act and punitive damages.”
My research into “pay for success” over the past three years made it clear that health and behavioral health data would be used to fuel the growth of “social impact” finance around the world. Over the past three weeks, however, it has dawned on me that it will also likely be used as a tool of social control. As populations become more volatile with the roll out of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, digital quarantine will be a powerful method of regulating economic systems and human bodies.
Framing future pandemics as an issue of national security allows public health to be subsumed within an increasingly sophisticated global apparatus of of digital surveillance, predictive analytics, and enclosure. The nature of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has been characterized by asymptomatic carriers and inadequate testing protocols, has led populations around the world to embrace diminished civil liberties and even welcome the opportunity to be deputized as community enforcers.
In our present state of emergency mismanagement, the vast majority of people do not have a solid understanding of the territory into which we are rushing. But the World Economic Forum with its Covid Action Platform does. Theirs is a future of robots and algorithms, where the masses are valued only so far as they demonstrate compliance to a new global order dictated by behavioral economics.
The spectre of future public health crises will be leveraged by transnational global capital to advance “pay for success” preventative “care,” where “care” is managed through the soft-surveillance of data-dashboards. Venture capitalist Bill Ackman and Solutions Journalism outlets like Atlantic magazine have highlighted the fact that Covid-19 patients with co-morbidities including asthma, diabetes, hypertension or a history of smoking have significantly worse outcomes.
And that my friends is where Michael, global envoy for the World Health Organization, Bloomberg comes in. As mayor of New York, Bloomberg established numerous precedents for “non-communicable” disease management that conveniently dovetail into “healthy city” initiatives. Once we come out the other side of the immediate Covid-19 threat, I foresee impact investors calling for resiliency and advancing generous grants for “preventative care.”
Communities that have for decades borne the brunt of environmental racism, food insecurity, trauma, and chronic stress, will be put on self-improvement pathways, lest they become “vectors” of disease transmission in some future viral outbreak. The “solutions” proffered will never eliminate the source of the problem, because that would foreclose future profit. Global hedge funds will link improved pandemic outcomes to data-driven investments in “social determinants of health.” “Public health” can thus be harnessed to manage dissent as a new globalized economic regime based on biocapitalism is installed.
For the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Warren Buffet, health and mental health data is an asset class that sits conveniently at the intersection of “pay for success” profit and coercive force. We must have clarity around this as the world transitions to a “new normal.” It cannot be allowed to become a “normal” that advantages the interests of a billionaire class and the corporate state.
Data for these purposes will be harvested from screen-based devices, including phones and apps, wearable tech, personal digital assistants, and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors integrated into our homes, modes of transportation, and neighborhoods. Data collection will increase as care begins to prioritize tele-medicine and tele-therapy. That transition, of course, is being hastened by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The pace of 5G installation, the infrastructure upon which these Fourth Industrial Revolution systems rely, has ramped up even as we are under stay-at-home orders. In March, the same month that the World Health Organization recognized Covid19 as a pandemic, the White House issued the document: National Strategy To Secure 5G of the United States of America. Keeping a safe distance, we take evening strolls through our urban neighborhood a few times a week. Every few blocks there are new small cell installations, pavement markings for utilities, and loops of cable overhead. Trucks for Verizon, the backbone 5G installer for our city, are a regular feature.
Even without 5G in place, the digital dust of our tele-presencing has skyrocketed under lockdown. In addition to our regular social media habits, we’ve added zoom meetings, online education, watch parties, organizing events, virtual family visits, classes, and online shopping. As we slog through the coming weeks, if not months, of quarantine, it is vital that we understand our online interactions as signals intelligence.
We are filling the Internet with information rich in sentiment analysis, a goldmine for folks like Martin Seligman at UPenn’s World Wellbeing Project to analyze for insights into our collective consciousness during a time of stress and uncertainty. We are being coerced into creating training data to inform efforts like DARPA’s Ground Truth program and the DoD’s Minerva Research Initiative. Sandy Pentland at MIT has run living labs to digitally track populations for years in cities like Trentino, Italy. Now it feels like we’ve all been co-opted into one giant experiment. Those in power are working their magic to “learn” the social physics of pandemic. Consider this a test run. They’re taking our temperature to strategize the next phase of the campaign.
And some replies to this post:
I knew something serious was up last yr when there was a saturation campaign to recruit for natl guard. I assumed the motive was to crush the antivaxx mov’t by deadly force. All these liberals who think the crisis is going to automatically usher in regime change are ignorant & naive.
Transnational global capital is running the show. No elections will change WEF. This is only going to be stopped via global solidarity among the masses.
Unf, there will never be ‘global solidarity among the masses.’ Just today after paying rent, I had a confrontation w/ a mundane handmaid who dismissed my legitimate criticism of the fake emergency (I have 2 biology degrees & worked in labs for 15 yrs. & know what cesspools of corruption, misogyny, racism, elitism, classism, homophobia & more they are). None of my life experience mattered. The Stepford wife just smirked a stupid, ignorant smirk @ me. Such mundanes have been purpose bred for thousands of yrs. for obedience amid mass extermination of intellectually gifted ppl amid continuous genocide against First Nations over 10,000 yrs. (according to my theory, intellectual giftedness is as much a defining characteristic of First Nations as is melanation; this is why I am no longer a Marxist or socialist). Our plm is entirely biological & only extensive genetic engineering by either AI or an invading offworld egg-layer can stop it. I recommend viewing BORN IN FLAMES by Lizzie Borden, which barely scratches the surface.
That sounds like a really interesting film. I will check it out and Joel Kovel had a guest appearance, too. I guess what I should have said is that we should aspire to global solidarity, because we are up against transnational global capital – soon to become a DAO. I know most cannot see it. Many will just shrug if off and wonder why I am so upset. For me, my coping mechanism is to try and track this machine, and provide a counter-narrative, and to connect with others who see it, too and to do on the ground work where I live. I feel like this is what I’m supposed to do. It may already be game-over, but I’m not in a position to sit back and wait for it. I would just fall apart. I’ve seen it and I can’t go back to not knowing it’s out there.
It’s an alternate reality sci fi story abt a socialist revolution in the US in which misogyny & racism persist. I saw it online a few yrs. ago & found it helpful. I totally agree w/your stance & tactics. All the neighbors here are hopeless, incl those who fancy themselves liberal, incl the arm candy I sparred w/ today. The only neighbor who was worth a damn, a Black lady, moved in w/ relatives in 2019. We still stay in touch via text.
As you know about me, I am not sure about global solidarity happening anytime soon or at all, and instead expect various levels of collapse and authoritarian and liberatory responses from up and down various power spectrums across locations. The emergence of various degrees of neofeudalism is more likely. A reckoning certainly is in order in many ways based within historical and persisting structures of domination that are more than likely to intensify existing social divisions between the so called “masses.” The tired Marxist axiom that workers of the world will unite when unchained from capitalism continues to be largely based in patriarchal Eurocentric constructs of society, derived from white supremacist and anti-Indigenous worldviews.
I hear you. I just speak to the way I think things should happen, knowing that the odds don’t look great right now. We have lessons to learn from anti-globalization struggles – those who have been fighting structural adjustment and the World Bank / IMF, often Indigenous led, for decades. Neofeudalism – well, you should check out The Diamond Age.
And another post from her:
Quite interesting that Christiana Figueres, an early promoter of emissions trading schemes and lead negotiator in the Paris Climate Accord negotiations, writes a book on the climate crisis and gets such an eclectic group of endorsers: Jane Goodall, Yuval Harrari, Richard Branson, Klaus Schwaub (founder of the World Economic Forum) AND Naomi Klein. Hmmm…the latter’s keynote at the UPenn Climate Conference is pretty consistent with that.
Larry Summers chairs the Lancet Commission on Investing In Health, tied to UN SDG 3. It’s a numbers game. Public health will become an engine to channel capital in a way that allows the billionaires behind “benefit corporations” to use their foundations to extract profit and exert social control. There will be tight messaging and controlled narratives that twist real and present dangers so as to make dissent nearly impossible.
“First, we need bold leadership and a strong voice, communicating to patients and advocating to governments that climate change is fundamentally a public health issue. Second, the health benefits of responding to climate change must be realised and maximised globally. Third, we must benchmark and monitor efforts to meet and overcome these challenges. Only then can the true impact of climate change on health be understood, and the health benefits of responding to climate change be realised.”
Here is a post from the Florida anti-iReady group:
Suggestions… My daughter’s teachers are taking grades for iready/ achieve. Since my daughter does not partake in these programs they usually have had a printed sheet that gets graded. They were told they were not allowed to drop off any work/ packets, etc.. i need suggestions/ ideas/ programs that the teacher can grade that would go along with what she’s teaching.
Here is a post that was shared by a friend of mine:
The U.N. report grew out of the financial problems that swept the world in the last year or two, which it diagnoses as arising from too much speculation in commodity markets, a bubble in stock markets and housing markets, and trade imbalances between countries like China and the United States. Its prescription? “More stringent financial regulation” and “diversification away from dollars” as part of a new system of constant exchange rates. (Supachai Panitchpakdi, UNCTAD’s secretary-general, also wants “vigorous” global actions, including “managing” energy prices through taxes, to dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions.)
Here is a post from someone on Facebook (a friend of a friend):
With the return to the home, we are asked to acquiesce to a different kind of intrusion: software that allows companies to monitor who is actually working. That is no accident. The post-virus world is likely to be ever more Orwellian. For the first time in history, governments can actively surveil and respond to everyone and punish those who defy public ordinances — such as health orders. Just as people have come to expect cameras recording their movements on the street since 9/11, Americans in the post-Covid-19 world may see nothing unusual about more intimate measures like public monitoring of their temperature and blood pressure.
PFS in a nutshell: A private funder (a philanthropic foundation, for example) will agree to pay the upfront costs of some public health, safety, and education services. The government will pay that money back, plus a success payment, if certain RESULTS or OUTCOMES are met and documented by the social service provider (a non-profit org approved by the private funder).
NO WONDER Tulsa has so many non-profit organizations that replicate each other’s efforts. They are postured to relieve government of its responsibilities. How CONVENIENT that they are ready to go just as so many people find themselves in desperate situations. 5G infrastructure will power IoT sensors’ data collections and smart contracts, making the OUTCOMES verification an automatic process. How CONVENIENT that this infrastructure is being put into place while we’re all in lockdown.
WHAT’S WRONG with PAY FOR SUCCESS? No democratic oversight. The billionaires get access to ALL your information (they already have most of it if you live in Oklahoma). They have HUGE incentives NOT to solve pressing problems AND to make us jump through hoops to ensure that they meet those success metrics. TULSA is already using THE NUDGE.
“The CIA has a non-profit venture capital corporation called In-Q-Tel (IQT). Top managers of IQT are founders or board members of Facebook. IQT is linked to Facebook through Palantir’s Peter Thiel. In August of 2004, Thiel acquired a 10.2 percent stake in Facebook for US$500,000. The next two capital injections were US$12.7 million from Thiel and Accel Partners in May 2005 and then US$27.5 million from an Accel-led round of financing that included Thiel, Accel and Greylock Partners in April 2006. In 2012, Thiel sold the majority of his shares for over US$1 billion, but remains on Facebook’s board of directors.
Google’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, were both on the payroll of the National Science Foundation (NSF) while working on its Stanford Digital Library Project (SDLP), which involved creating search algorithms to scan large quantities of data to find relationships. Funded by the U.S. federal government, the NSF’s mission statement includes intent to ‘secure the national defense.’ NSF has a longstanding relationship with the DoD’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Not only was Google’s development nurtured by NSF/DARPA, but Google was also was aided by the secretive Massive Digital Data Systems (MDDS) program, administered by private contractors for the CIA and NSA. In 2004, Google bought Keyhole from IQT. Keyhole’s mapping technology software, EarthViewer, became Google Earth. Both IQT and Google funded the ‘threat intelligence’ company Recorded Futures and have seats on its board.”
The “Fourth Revolution” that’s being shock-doctrined upon us has been in the works for a while. In fact, the tech investors, hedge funds, and human capital speculators have been busy preparing children for it through programs introduced in “reimagined” schools. This propaganda* piece from the NYT provides a glimpse into the process of programming children to become coders.
“TULSA, Okla. — The class assignment: Design an iPad video game. For the player to win, a cow must cross a two-lane highway, dodging constant traffic. If she makes it, the sound of clapping is heard; if she’s hit by a car, the game says, “Aw.” “Let me show you my notebook where I wrote the algorithm. An algorithm is like a recipe,” Leila, one of the students in the class, explained to the school official who described the scene to me. You might assume these were gifted students at an elite school. Instead they were 7-year-olds, second graders in the Union Public Schools district in the eastern part of Tulsa, Okla., where more than a third of the students are Latino, many of them English language learners, and 70 percent receive free or reduced-price lunch. From kindergarten through high school, they get a state-of-the-art education in science, technology, engineering and math, the STEM subjects. When they’re in high school, these students will design web pages and mobile apps, as well as tackle cybersecurity and artificial intelligence projects. And STEM-for-all is only one of the eye-opening opportunities in this district of around 16,000 students.”
(*I have a growing list of these “opinion” pieces. They all follow the same pattern and often mention some benevolent Foundation that is bringing light and reason to backwards Oklahoma. Let’s face it, New Yorkers probably don’t care what’s happening in Tulsa. But Tulsans are impressed when they see something in the NYT, and they fall for it without thinking that one of our billionaires paid for Solutions Journalism to create some impact.)
To be fair, no foundations are mentioned in this piece. Moreover, I think it’s important to make nuanced, but important, distinctions between what is happening at Union and what is going on at TPS. I don’t even think that the differences are all that nuanced in this case: they’re got soy different. TPS is foundation driven and Broad infected. Union appears to be neither. TPS is all about disruption. Union seems to be more about systematic, academically-rooted improvement. TPS doesn’t mention any of its initiatives without mentioning standardized testing in the same breath. While union does use evidence-based decision-making to decide whether to move forward at scale after prototyping, I didn’t see a single reference to standardized tests from their admins in this article. TPS seems intent on outsourcing their mission to charters. Union certainly doesn’t seem interested in that, and the article itself is anti-charter. I think you’re painting with too broad of a brush here. Some public schools are doing a good job, and just because some focus on STEM and vocational training doesn’t mean they’re TPS clones.
You’re right that the foundations aren’t mentioned in this article. They often are (e.g. from the New Yorker:
But the connections between Union and TPS are much closer than they might appear. Both Union and TPS have been pilot districts for the community-based schools model, which was coordinated by TACSI (Tulsa Area Community Schools Initiative) through the Community Service Council of Tulsa. TACSI is a leading affiliate of the national organization, “Coalition for Community Schools,” and it came out of Kathy Taylor’s and the Tulsa Community Foundation’s 2005 Step Up! Education Trendbenders initiative. That initiative led to a 2007 conference hosted at OU-Tulsa in collaboration with UPenn (Center for High Impact Philanthropy – Ira Harkavy, Gerry Clancy, Anchor Institutions, etc.), and then TACSI. Here is a narrative:
Many of the people who were supporting the community schools model in TPS and UPS are now in ImpactTulsa, which is, of course, coordinating the regional transformation of public education according to StriveTogether’s Cradle to Career model. While there have been some divergences between TPS and UPS, I think the similarities are that both are pilot districts for a scaleable high-impact transformation to align the P20 pipeline and create guided pathways to the workforce (which here in Tulsa is going to be a coding workforce). What is really important is that UPS is using blockchain credentialing. Somehow, nobody is talking about this. But that’s HUGE! It’s all about the data.
Also, there’s this from the 2019 ChildTrends report
I hope I’m wrong, but I think the whole region will be aligned. “GKFF is using findings from the self-assessment to plan strategies to strengthen partner organizations in Year 2. To support BEST’s emphasis on continuous learning and improvement, GKFF and the two organizations serving backbone functions, ImpactTulsa and MyHealth, partnered with the Center for Public Research and Leadership (CPRL) to select the Evolutionary Learning Frameworke as a continuous learning and improvement model for BEST’s collaborative efforts. One reason for selecting this model is that it fits well with BEST’s diverse service sectors (education, health, social service, and criminal justice). GKFF, ImpactTulsa, and MyHealth introduced the framework to all BEST program partners and provided more intensive training for a subset of these partners. GKFF plans to offer this intensive training to a broader group of partners in Year 2. Build an integrated data system To support the creation of a network of services and supports for children and families, BEST will develop the Community Holistic Integrated Linked Data (CHILD) System. When completed, CHILD will provide a way to link data across service providers to better serve the BEST target population. GKFF and two partners, MyHealth and Asemio, are taking a multi-stage approach to developing CHILD. The first stage, a proof of concept that examined the extent of service overlap for four early childhood programs, was completed in Year 1. The proof of concept demonstrated the possibility of integrating data from four programs and provided examples of where children received services from multiple programs. Work on the second stage of CHILD began toward the end of Year 1. Tasks included working with program partners to develop a governance committee to provide oversight for the CHILD system’s development and implementation, and initial work on the system’s technical architecture. In addition to launching the inaugural CHILD system, other goals for Year 2 include developing a framework for managing client consent, establishing partner data-sharing agreements, and defining a roadmap for the future vision of CHILD. Establish and execute a shared leadership structure GKFF has adopted a hybrid shared leadership structure to guide BEST’s integrated, collaborative approach. Several backbone functions typically found in collective impact initiativesf are shared by three organizations: GKFF, MyHealth, and ImpactTulsa. GKFF is building on its existing partnerships with programs that have included seeding individual programs and managing grantees. With BEST, GKFF is focused on coordinating and aligning partners around shared goals, strengthening partner organizations, and evaluating the initiative’s overall success. To carry out these new tasks, GKFF hired six staff for the BEST GKFF management team, which is led by BEST’s managing director.
One last thing – because I’ve been researching this! It’s a chart of the governance structure.
Wow – what an opportunity to go all in with high-performance computing bioinformatics. Unsettling that most of the coalition members are also involved with digital identity, AI and smart citiies.
So Obama’s “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act” of 2009 not only set the stage for the ed-tech takeover public education, it also mandated adoption of electronic heath records, which is being combined with IoT and Blockchain to turn us into data commodities? These folks by a long game. No doubt about that.
Gamification, competition, UN SDGs, and surveillance of the self are all elements of “social impact” investment wearable tech. Once we are on Blockchain all bets are off. Hats off to the folks taking down those 5G towers. I think we’re going to need more of that.
It gets better – Star Wars branding – of course that’s George Lucas “Edutopia.”
And some replies to this post:
It’s just so exhausting.
Honestly I want it all to collapse under the weight of it’s own corruption while protecting the children from their selfish plans.
we’re going to have to overthrow it.
Ok, how? The message from the school this week stated that students are going to be held accountable & taking attendance after spring break. Honest to bog I am fed up.
[name redacted] weren’t you just looking at P.E. surveillance?
I know for years in Florida they were allowing kids to do online PE – jogging with a fit bit and even wii sports.
And yet another post from her:
Until this month, I thought that digital identity would come through high school / college transcripts. Now I think it could very well be electronic health records. Easier to get the biometrics connected to the latter. Remembr, Chan Zuckerberg and Bezos and Gates are all into both sides education / healthcare. We need an abolition movement against 5G and Blockchain. These are participants in a 2016 Blockchain Challenge hosted by the US Department of Health and Human Services, NIST, and the Digital Chamber of Commerce
Deborah Estrin was the chair of that group. Moved to Bloomberg / Google-Funded Cornell-Technion (MIT of Israel) campus on Roosevelt Island NY. See Small Data Lab
All held in your permanent record as you navigate smart cities generating pay for success data for global investors. https://smalldata.io/
And the really creepy thing is I went there last summer – to see it. At the end of the island is a monument to Roosevelt on the site of a former small pox hospital and the sweeping view down river is of the United Nations headquarters I kid you not.
I’ll give it a read.. I’ve been watching this whole blockchain/biometric etc. ‘system’ unfolding for a few years now…. I definitely thought it would be more gradual… pretty genius really… although it’s being presented as a very b grade production … in my opinion.. apparently they no longer have to try very hard as far as production quality…nice view of the U.N. … how fitting…
Oh…Evgeny I used to be such a fan. Now I realize you just wanted us to own our own brand instead of Facebook. So we can sell ourselves to FB and make money for the impact investors. Argh
The head of the St Louis Federal Reserve is proposing Covid-19 badges tied to testing, daily badges. You all realize how WRONG this is, don’t you? “BULLARD (head of the St. Louis Federal Reserve): You know, I have good news for you, MARGARET, because we have a- there is a solution using available technology today to fix the economic part of this problem. The solution is universal testing. What you want is every single person to get tested every day. And then they would wear a badge like they would at a- after they voted or something like that to show that they’ve been tested. This would immediately sort out who’s been infected and who hasn’t been infected. That would help the health care sector. But it would also help the economy because we could interact with each other with a lot of confidence.”
Hey, why don’t they all require us to take a daily nano-pill that will upload our certification to our blockchain health passport / surveillance device so the authorities can properly contain the disease vectors. SMH
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
Planned Parenthood has a plan. And they fully intend on carrying it out. We must stop them.
I have highlighted the very inappropriate videos put out by Amaze and promoted by Planned Parenthood multiple times in MIP. Take a look below at a quote I found on the Amaze partners page from International Planned Parenthood.
In their Spring Newsletter, Giselle Carino, the new IPPF/WHR Regional Director made the following comments:
“Today we are positioned to amplify this progress under our new strategic plan, which commits to reaching more than five million young people in the Americas and Caribbean with quality sexuality education by 2022. While ambitious, I have no doubt that we will do for sexuality education what we did for family planning more than sixty years ago: create a culture in which sexuality education is viewed as an essential part of gender equality and social development for our nations; an investment that helps governments, communities and families challenge the harmful gender norms that perpetrate a culture of violence; reduce the number of unintended pregnancies, and ultimately, create happier and more equitable societies. I have no doubt we will achieve our goals. We have a strong, imaginative team of staff, volunteers, and allies like you that are dedicated, determined, and open to new approaches and innovative ideas. We have solid partnerships with sister organizations, academic institutions, and governments, and unwavering support from dedicated funders.”
Look at these key phrases:
“our new strategic plan, which commits to reaching more than five million young people”
“challenge the harmful gender norms”
“We have solid partnerships with sister organizations, academic institutions, and governments, and unwavering support from dedicated funders.”

No, 5G doesn’t “spread” coronavirus, but scientific research indicates exposure to EMF radiation causes damage to immune systems, particularly those of people already immunocompromised or stressed. Before folks join in the 5G shame game, realize if you do you’re backing global Telcom interests that intend to use small cell installations to implement technological authoritarianism, automate many jobs, and set up human capital markets tied to digital ID and Internet of Things. I hope people would have better sense than that. Seriously people. Wake the hell up.
“The Bioinitiative Report-A Rationale for a Biologically-based Public Exposure Standard for Electromagnetic Fields (ELF and RF), 2007)], it must be concluded that the existing public safety limits are inadequate to protect public health, and that new public safety limits, as well as limits on further deployment of untested technologies, are warranted.”
February 2019 Gates buys Crown Castle stock (5G). $627 Million One year later we’ve got lockdown and fast track 5G installation.
And some replies to this post:
Now that makes sense as to why he didnt say anything until after the lockdown!
what fast track installation?
It’s going up all over right now. New fixtures every 100 feet or so mounted under the length of most of the El in Kensington. All over the Parkway. I’m Art Museum area – talked to the installers from Verizon last week. The fixtures need to be put up every 1,000 feet. They have been going in for awhile – at least 6 months or so, but it is really speeding up now. The FCC has been converting the bandwidths over the past 18 months.
“While a 4G cell site might cover a dozen city blocks, 5G’s fastest, millimeter-wave frequencies might need one site for each block. An Accenture study commissioned by the wireless trade group CTIA estimated in March that there would be 769,000 small-cell deployments in the U.S. from 2018 to 2026. In a separate report, CTIA estimated that the U.S. had 323,448 cell sites in service at the end of 2017.”
This is in preparation for the 5G phones rolling out. “The fact is, 5G has unlimited potential, and Crown Castle International Corp. has been busy installing thousands of small cells in cities across the U.S. 2019 is the year it all begins. AT&T, Verizon, Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), Samsung, and Verizon are expected to launch their first 5G phones this year. The second 5G rollout will take place in 2020 or 2021.”
this been in the works for a while tho. i donno if its a fast track
Can you tell me why Verizon employees would all be out now doing the installs? They shouldn’t be essential employees, and yet there are trucks out all over the city.
like most of philly isnt 5g yet and because they need so many damn towers might not be a for a min
5G is NOT essential work. And yet they were putting in a small cell around the corner from my house on April 1.
alot of shit not essential. i think there is alot of fear over 5g and i dont know if its warranted. i’m more annoyed by the police cameras they put up everywhere\
You don’t realize this is the same thing? Blockchain runs on 5G.
blockchain is a way of keeping files it doesn’t run more on 5g than it does on 4g or 3g. 5g is just a new use of frequency to transfer info at higher volumes. its cell phone shit.
i guess in therory is block chain needed higher volume to transfer 5g would be useful for that…. but i can’t say it does. near as i know it doesn’t need high volume. i do think 5g will allow of other surveillance issues. i just dont think its a good focus of alarm currently. tho appreciate you watch dogging the tech
They are tracking people on Blockchain. It is already online. This is not speculation. This is REAL.
That’s the whole PREMISE of them doing this. They need to expand cell service and Internet access so we can all remain connected during the lockdown. What a perfect excuse for them to put in all this 5G crap and IoT stuff and build their Agenda 2030 infrastructure. Also, they can cite that they need 5G or whatever because they need to make sure that the Internet can handle so many people being online at once since so many people are at home.
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
“This is a hairy penis!” Would you approve of your child shouting this out during sex ed class while participating in a classroom activity?
Watch this video about genitals put out by Sex Ed School, a sex ed resource for homeschooling that is being recommended by SIECUS. Just to help you understand all the connections… the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education used SIECUS resources in writing the sex ed standards for our public schools>SIECUS, Planned Parenthood, Advocates for Youth, Amaze and others are all allies> SIECUS resources and PP, AfY and Amaze curricula and videos are used in MA public schools>Amaze is heavily marketing their online resources for sex ed during the pandemic, including Sex Ed School videos.
In this video, sex researcher Eva and sex educator Nadine give the kids a lesson about genitals, “What’s Up with Down There.” The children all participate in a game where they are told to attach removeable genital parts including pubic hair, vulva lips, penises, testicles and breasts to two dolls named Ginger and Blue. The instructors tell the kids, “Be creative!” One student is pictured putting a penis through a vulva.
Other low lights of the video include walking penis and vulva graphics being flashed across the screen, another game where the kids play pin the ovaries on the uterus, a featured word of the day, “asexuality,” and a game of true and false where kids are asked various questions about genitals.
Some of the quotes by the class facilitators include, “Get to know your genitlas,” “Penises come in a range of sizes,” “We love talking about sex.”
Efforts like these from the kinky kinship of CSE proponents serve to sexualize children and lower their natural inhibitions. It’s no mistake either that co-ed classes are encouraged in order to get boys and girls comfortable talking openly about sexual parts and behavior. This is not healthy sex ed.
Find out if these videos are being used or recommended by your child’s school. If so, tell your school officials that they are highly inappropriate and that you want them removed from the curriculum.
Geez folks. This author of this Harvard Business Review piece is affiliated with the Harvard Medical School and managing director of the Draper Kaplan Richards Foundation. Biometric digital ID linked to vaccines combined with AI behavior tracking and prediction. The writing is on the wall here.
“To address this problem, biometric digital IDs can be a game changer. For example, Simprints has deployed biometric IDs on health and humanitarian projects across 12 countries, which have increased health care visits and quality while preventing fraud. It is now partnering with Japanese telecom giant NEC to develop an affordable, interoperable, biometric solution for vaccines that can identify patients even in rural and offline settings. Using robust digital tools can help governments overcome identification barriers to ensure that everyone receives a Covid-19 vaccine.
Leveraging data to predict behavior. We need to understand risk of transmission at the hyperlocal level and the likelihood of adherence for specific geographies and sub-populations. In settings with limited individual-level health data, we will need to leverage available sources. For example artificial intelligence company Macro-Eyes uses satellite imagery, digital conversations, and publicly available data to predict with 76% accuracy which child will drop out of routine immunization programs.”
I’m sick. And people ask where’s the proof? Here, Harvard says exactly what they are planning to do. For God’s sake “Macro-Eye?” Satellite monitoring. Sounds like that would be right up John Arnold’s alley.

Black Mirror today, but how about next year? Five years from now? What is your “health brand” in this new age of pandemic? How “risky” are you? What level of discrimination will you be subject to? How are you managing your health? How are you tracking it? How will we hold you accountable?
My sense is that they want to mostly contain people in pods with VR and have us move our consumption to virtual items.
Here is the tie in between “education” and the Gates-funded Solutions Journalism Network: The Solutions Journalism Network offers robust teaching resources to engage high school and college students in creative and critical thinking about solutions to the climate crisis. The Climate Solutions Teaching Collections provide educators with material that is easy to access and integrate into courses across disciplines, and that shifts the focus from climate doom and gloom to climate solutions. Each Climate Solutions Teaching Collection includes: three or more solutions journalism stories, published by reputable news outlets and curated for educators; six to eight discussion questions aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy of cognition to “help teachers teach and students learn;” robust teaching notes so educators across disciplines can easily integrate solutions-focused climate education into their courses; a copy and customize feature for educators to adapt each collection to align with their course learning outcomes.
Here is a post from a friend of mine on what a blockchain is:
in short, it’s a distributed digital record of everything about your life. Because it’s distributed (info is stored in multiple “blocks”), it’s permanent. And because it’s digital, you can link any tracked transaction (e.g. a comment on Facebook, a purchase online, biometric data from a fitbit) to it. It’s supposed to have greater privacy and transparency, but it also carries the danger of centralizing all your info in one place. That sounds confusing since it’s a distributed ledger, but I like to think of it as a login. So blockchain identity is like the login to which all your data is tied. That idea doesn’t sit well with me personally. Also, those stores of data that are recorded on the ledger contribute to predictive risk profiling and targeted behavioral interventions that exacerbate inequalities and can be coercive.
And some more posts from others on the matter:
while I’m here, I’ll add to the definition. You’re right that it’s a ledger, but to say that it’s “a digital record of everything about your life” is completely false. You could, in theory, put all of that information on there, but it isn’t currently and would be an impossible task. Blockchain merely describes the system that is a distributed ledger, it’s not some database that has been accumulated
right. That’s why schoolchildren and formerly-incarcerated persons are being trained to code it right now.
There’s plenty of great uses for blockchain, just as there are pluses and minuses with everything and 2. Students are taught to code lots of things (and many are eager to, despite prior insinuations you have made). It’s a new and developing technology, and we’d ought to engage it, rather than catastrophize. (This means passing policy that limits nefarious uses, not ignoring social distancing guidelines)
Unfortunately, I don’t think the folks from the World Economic Forum, MIT, Harvard’s GovLab, or DARPA care much about limiting nefarious uses. Refugees have been the test subjects for most of this. Blockchain identity is going to be used in schools, from preK forward, to track skills that will then be used to indicate the specific career pathway that each individual ought to take, as determined by AI algorithms. Then hedge fund investors are going to speculate (in various ways) on the human capital measures that are captured via blockchain. For example, here’s what EPIC is working on in terms of valuing businesses: Human Capital Deployment This working group focused on measuring a company’s ability to deploy the knowledge, skills and capabilities of its workforce. They recognized that companies tend to report on this through qualitative narratives or data that is not comparable, which makes it difficult to evaluate companies in a rigorous or consistent way. To remedy that, they outlined a series of metrics – like percent of voluntary turnover – that all companies could disclose to offer a clearer picture of how effectively they deploy and manage their human capital.” Notice the investors.

Gates is providing cover for Bloomberg. Folks need to realize these technocrats have teamed up to create social impact profit streams using public health concerns to impose digital surveillance of targeted populations. https://littlesis.org/maps/4967-bloomberg-gates-partnerships
And another post from her:
We have to understand the following:
Bloomberg = electrical engineering / data / finance guy
Bloomberg has maintained a longstanding relationship with Johns Hopkins, specifically their school of public health.
Bloomberg’s advocacy around data-driven non-communicable disease management began around 2007.
These activities were meant to advance pay for success finance and normalize tracking people through tech.
Now, add pandemic as cost off-set for future impact deals.
Leverage pandemic to usher in anti-body certificates.
Regulate dissent through disease surveillance tied to global health monitoring.
World Bank and IMF broker deals around preparedness “gaps” tied to UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Interoperable health data is gold. Health = UN SDG 3
Digital ID + Internet of Things will be the alchemist’s stone. Interoperable Map here:
They are hell bent on getting their immunity passport & tracking system in place. Do you think that 16k deaths warrants such draconian measures? If so, why wasn’t this done for flu deaths that were 80-100k? Are you going to comply?
“…The CAP and Harvard plans both foresee a digital pandemic surveillance state in which virtually every American downloads an app to their phone that geotracks their movements, so if they come into contact with anyone who later is found to have Covid-19, they can be alerted, and a period of social quarantine can begin. Similarly, people would scan QR codes when boarding mass transit, or entering other high-risk public areas. And GPS tracking could be used to enforce quarantine on those who test positive with the disease, as is being done in Taiwan.”…
Heer is a post that was shared in the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
PRIVACY!
Today, Governor Walz unilaterally removed an existing law which safeguards private health records by releasing the addresses of all patients (kids and adults) who test positive for COVID-19 to all first responders. This order was not only made unilaterally, completely ignoring the democratic process and legislature, but it creates massive patient data privacy concerns!
After the Minneapolis police department made a request to Governor Walz for this data, the legislature met on April 7th and passed legislation to give them financial protections if they became sick in the line of duty. As I posted last week, protecting patient data was a major consideration for many legislators when voting on the workers compensation for first responders legislation. Yet, even after the legislature responded, Governor Walz gave an order to release medical records without adequate protections and without patient consent. Most issues have multiple sides and many are not simply right or wrong; they are a balance of the rights and interests of multiple groups. This is why one person should not have too much power.
How far does this line of logic and reasoning extend? What kind of precedent did he set? Do all people with communicable diseases forfeit their data privacy? Why not HIV patients, Hepatitis patients, Influenza patients, Staph infection patients? The list goes on and on. From Rep Jeremy Munson
Here is additional guidance from Rep. Erickson. Friends and Neighbors, please tell our providers about this. URGENT: GRANTS EASE STRAIN FOR CENTRAL MINNESOTA CHILD CARE PROVIDERS Focus is on family and center-based providers serving children of essential works birth to age 5 Dear early childhood advocate, We know that now, more than ever, Central Minnesota child care providers face new challenges as the coronavirus impacts families, businesses and communities. Today we’re asking for your help to spread the word about a rapid-response emergency grant program we’ve created at the urging of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and in concert with our five Minnesota Initiative Foundation partners. The Emergency Child Care Grant Program launched today, March 26, provides immediate financial support to licensed family- and center-based child care providers in Central Minnesota who are serving emergency and essential workers. Grants of $500 to $3,000 will be awarded to providers who serve the children (birth to 5) of first responders, emergency personnel, health care workers or anyone else deemed essential to work during this crisis. See the state-approved list of essential personnel . We intend to provide a response and funding to qualified applicants within two weeks of application submission. Grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Use this short online application to apply. The Emergency Child Care Grant Program is being coordinated throughout Greater Minnesota by the six Minnesota Initiative Foundations through the investment of $50,000 each. Fundraising from additional partners is ongoing, so there may be an opportunity for additional grant rounds. If you know a provider in another community beyond Central Minnesota, please have them contact their local Minnesota Initiative Foundation for more information. Providers in the seven-county metropolitan area should contact Think Small , an organization that is providing a similar grant opportunity for metro-area providers. We don’t know what the next few weeks will bring, but our team is ready to help where and when we can, and we’re sending good thoughts to all you! Please contact me with any questions. Be well, Don Hickman Vice President for Community and Workforce Development dhickman@ifound.org (320) 631-2043
Via the Emergency Child Care Grant Program now even the licensed home-based and small-center providers can get in on the free $$$ for childcare, birth to 5!! The Initiative Foundations push only childcare that is Parent Aware. Think Small is also part of the Parent Aware pushing system and one of the “stakeholders” at the Capitol. Childcare is nearly taken over. This means a child’s life…. the life of your family.

CT waived student data privacy law for edtech during covid.
How do societies gradually ease into socialism’s madness?
1980s: Mass borrowing begins, and since govt borrowing is counted in the GDP, the people imagine private business grew with the GDP, and stocks go up. The percentage of the GDP being government spending grew, not the private GDP.
1990s: Mass borrowing continues, and since govt borrowing is counted in the GDP, the people imagine private business grew, and stocks go up. One president tried to raise taxes to balance the budget, then he got de-elected quickly, in favor of the more generous party, the Democrats, who continued to deficit spend and even “borrow” $198 Billion from social security to “balance the budget.”
2000s: Mass borrowing continues, and since govt borrowing is counted in the GDP, the people imagine private business grew, and stocks go up. Mass federal borrowing becomes the most reliable revenue source for many markets: Big education, big medicine, big pharma, and big finance are all suddenly dependent on “QE” to pump up their prices. Wall Street realizes they are beholden to the FED and the Treasury, the GDP will fall if they stop printing money. A full on fake-money addiction has begun.
2010s: Mass borrowing continues, and now the FED begins monetizing the Treasury’s debt. Stock prices now routinely rise and fall with FED money printing announcements. FED policy meetings are evasive and vague. Hard questions meant the reporter is ejected. But the people vigorously refuse to question the connection, they prevaricate, and then begin to lie to help cover up the fraud, just like Bernie Madoff investors really didn’t want him busted. None of the Bush-era criminal behavior behind the meltdown was prosecuted. The gov’t repeatedly propping up stock prices, was now obviously the peoples’ “money tree,” and they did not want to talk about it being a con game. The rich then had their welfare, and the poor have theirs.
2020: So many people are fully aware the FED is propping up their stocks, they have lost all their drive to fight for honest government. They know the FED is lying, so anyone else who is “fiscally deceiving” about the alleged “market,” won’t be criticized nor spoken of harshly.

“But, as a scientist, I should make clear: this is still an assumption. I have not seen any evidence that children play an important role in the spread of the virus in scientific studies. Of course, that doesn’t mean they don’t. It just means there is no evidence yet…
It is clear that children can get infected, few get sick, but one important question is, if they are infected, how much virus do they produce, and is that enough to infect others? The truth is, we don’t know.”
-Guido Vanham, former head of virology, Institute of Tropical Medicine, Belgium
[Published April 6, 2020 by World Economic Forum]
“there is no evidence yet” – “The truth is, we don’t know.”
And yet –
April 9, 2020: “Global statistics reported by UNESCO reveal that since the last week of March roughly 1.7 billion students from pre-primary to tertiary education levels are out of school, affecting 91.3 percent of all enrolled learners and including every student in 188 countries that have mandated nationwide closures. With most schools set to remain closed through the rest of the current academic year, the scale of these closures is unprecedented in the history of world capitalism.”
“stress-system overload can significantly diminish a child’s ability to learn and engage in typical social interactions across the lifespan.”
To be clear. As of the last week of March, we have approx. 1.7 billion children & youth isolated from friends, nature, play and socializing – locked up in homes, “consuming unprecedented levels of media”. [Source: World Economic Forum]
“And when I walk through Berlin and I see the playgrounds with warning tapes & police cordons, as if they were crime scenes, then our society really has to reflect on whether we really see playing kids as a danger these days.” — Dr René Schlott, German historian, Potsdam
Taking the opposite approach, Professor Knut Wittkowski, Head of The Rockefeller University’s Department of Biostatistics from 1998-2018, Epidemiology, and Research Design states: “We should be resisting and we should at least hold our politicians responsible. We should have a discussion with our politicians. One thing we definitely need to do, and that would be safe and effective, is opening schools. Let the children spread the virus among themselves – which is a necessity to get herd immunity. That was probably one of the most destructive actions the government has done. We should focus on the elderly and separating them from the population where the virus is circulating. We should not prevent the virus from circulating among school children, which is the fastest way of to create herd immunity.”
Simultaneously, with students in lockdown, we have this: “The notion of an educator as the knowledge-holder who imparts wisdom to their pupils is no longer fit for the purpose of a 21st-century education.” – World Economic Forum, Jan 2020, Schools of the Future, Defining New Models of Education for the Fourth Industrial Revolution
The shift to “learning ecosystems” – no more bricks and mortar schools – is underway. “Teaching” to move online, subjected to data-mining and surveillance. See white papers by Knowledgeworks, heavily funded by Gates.”

Yesterday, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau announces that “social distancing” in Canada will last until a vaccine is ready.
Vaccine – or herd immunity (Iceland, Denmark Japan, etc.) Those are the two options.
April 9, 2020: Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (US environmental attorney, author) – on Gate’s vaccine experiments: “Vaccines, for Bill Gates, are a strategic philanthropy that feed his many vaccine-related businesses (including Microsoft’s ambition to control a global vac ID enterprise) and give him dictatorial control over global health policy—the spear tip of corporate neo-imperialism.” [Link to article at bottom of post]
“It’s a Global Problem, and We Are Not Immune”: The deterioration of mental health/wellness is a global health issue. In Canada 75% of children with mental health issues do not have access to specialized services. Native youth are five to six times more likely to die by suicide than non-Aboriginal youth. Suicide rates for Inuit youth are among highest in world at eleven times the average.
National Scientific Council on the Developing Child, 2010:
“Science shows that early exposure to circumstances that produce persistent fear and chronic anxiety can have lifelong consequences by disrupting the developing architecture of the brain.”
“While some of these experiences are one-time events and others may reoccur or persist over time, all of them have the potential to affect how children learn, solve problems, and relate to others.”
“Many policymakers, educators, and even medical professionals are unaware of the potentially significant, long-term risks of exposure to fear-provoking circumstances in children…”
“Serious, fear-triggering experiences cause changes in brain activity and have been shown to have long-term, adverse consequences for learning, behavior, and health.”
“While typical fears disappear with age, the fear and anxiety elicited by maltreatment and other threatening circumstances do not.”
“Elevated stress hormones such as cortisol have been shown to affect the growth & performance of the hippocampus & the activity of the amygdala [] and early and persistent activation of the stress response system adversely affects brain architecture in these critical regions.”
“Behavioral neuroscience research [] tells us that the prefrontal cortex is highly sensitive to the detrimental effects of excessive stress exposure and that its developing architecture is vulnerable to the negative effects of chronic fear.”
“Very young children can actually learn to be fearful through a process called “fear conditioning,” which is strongly connected to the development of later anxiety disorders.”
“For young children who perceive the world as a threatening place, a wide range of conditions can trigger anxious behaviors that then impair their ability to learn and to interact socially with others.”
“Indeed, children who have had chronic and intense fearful experiences often lose the capacity to differentiate between threat and safety. This impairs their ability to learn and interact with others…”
“Young children who have been exposed to traumatic circumstances also have difficulty identifying and responding to different expressions of emotions, and, therefore, have trouble forming healthy relationships.”
“Children do not naturally outgrow early learned fear responses over time… Fear learning and associated memories that occur early in life get built into our brain architecture and do not dissipate with age.”
“the extent to which children w/ a heightened attention bias to threat view the world as a hostile and threatening place can be viewed as both a logical adaptation to an abusive environment and a potent risk factor for behavior problems in later childhood, adolescence, & adult life.”

April 9 2020, World Economic Forum: “… every generation is relying on their devices during this pandemic to inform and distract more than ever before, creating a huge opportunity for media companies to engage a captive audience.”
I’ve been teaching ESL and Spanish to adults and college students for 20 years. The only thing that the crap virtual education employed during this pandemic will do, regarding the implementation of tech in the classroom, is to accelerate the process. The process is well, well underway — though it is being realized in a very patchwork fashion, with some classrooms (like my present classroom) employing virtually no tech and other classrooms (the last two colleges I taught at Baltimore) utilizing a death-by-tech curriculum: totally disastrous, interfering in formidable ways with students’ ability to learn. If this shit continues apace, both being a student and being a teacher will be pure pursuits of misery.
An interesting dicussion by, imo, good scientists who have been destroyed by the establishment. Judy Mikovits insists that it’s been in the population for quite some time and Fauci and Wuhan are mostly involved in the cover up It’s been here for a while.
He also signed the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund grant which began to tie standards, testing, teacher evaluations, and data collection together and was the precursor to the Race To The Top grant.

Mind the Gap: The Violence Of Pandemic Dashboards by Alison Hawver McDowell
“Pay for success” finance is a performance-based contracting system that been applied to a wide range of social issues ranging from pre-k, mental health and elder-care services to workforce training and supportive housing. It clear to me that “pandemic preparedness” is being fitted out for pay for success profit-taking, too.”
“In 2017, through the Pandemic Emergency Financing Committee, the World Bank issued the first pandemic bonds in response to the 2014 Ebola epidemic. While at first glance that may seem like a humane gesture, the truth is that the bonds were structured in such a way that it is almost impossible to trigger the payouts public health systems need to respond to disease outbreaks. Erikson speaks directly to the ways in which data can be manipulated to preference certain outcomes and how harmful consequences can arise when “success” becomes tied to narrow impact metrics.
What are the consequences of large sums of money riding on death statistics?
What happens when in order to access healthcare funds, governments must allow a certain “death rate” to be attained?”
Look at the social impact investing people listed in this DMN article yesterday. Sounds like TFA for the healthcare industry:
Raj Panjabi, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, was mentioned for an article he wrote for the World Economic Forum. He used to work for the Clinton Global Initiative and Draper Kaplan Richards (social impact foundation run by our Dallas Federal Reserve president).
“What IS clear is that powerful global interests, including members of the World Economic Forum, are using this time of disruption and desperation to try and push through many elements needed to implement their Fourth Industrial Revolution program. This includes global digital currency, smart biometric surveillance, wearable technologies, online education, and tele-presence labor including tele-medicine and tele-therapy. All of this is happening against a back-drop of increased policing, diminished labor and environmental protections, and 5G infrastructure installation.”
So, it appears, just as in education where failure is planned for and models and means are put in place to profit from the failure, so too we have “pay for success” programs planned and ready to be implemented when pandemics break out. It’s not that we were caught off guard by Covid-19; no, in fact plans were put in place some time ago to take advantage of the misery and prepare a pathway for profits. Boy, does that ever sound familiar!!
that’s correct. So while we are all obediently sheltering in place, these sickos are planning the future for us through ID2020, blockchain and digital immunity proof. Sounds exciting.

Mandatory testing, tracking/surveillance and isolation. Sounds groovy. “And they say any successful lifting of interventions would have to include the development of a system for robust testing, tracking those who have been directly exposed to the virus, and then isolating those who are sick or exposed.
I can’t figure out if this is The Hunger Games or Snowpiercer and I only glanced at the maps
You know – when I started this five years ago…I did not think this would even be a conversation we would be having. Trying to take a deep breath and not overreact. I mean why would six state have to set up a region to do this? It makes no sense.

And yet another post from her:
More on predatory pandemic bonds. “A 2017 paper by Clare Wenham of the London School of Economics highlighted that, out of 60 pandemic cases studied, PEF would only have been triggered on two occasions, the outbreak of Rift Valley fever in 2006 and Ebola in 2014-16. Meanwhile, by mid-2019, it had paid $114.5 million to private investors as coupons, suggesting that it seems “to be serving private investor interests more than contributing to global health security.” At time of writing, no country has received PEF funds to prepare for the COVID-19 outbreak. While the funds are likely to be triggered soon with the COVID-19 crisis evolving very rapidly, the delayed response has already prevented PEF from enhancing developing countries’ ability to respond to the crisis.”
Now let’s get down to some dirt – BlackRock is the new operating system [OS] of the Fed Reserve and the Treasury. The world’s biggest shadow bank – and no, it’s not Chinese. BlackRock was founded in 1988 by Larry Fink, and it’s the top investor in Goldman Sachs. Fink’s letter to investors and guess what ? His sentences as “I believe we are on the edge of a fundamental reshaping of finance.” Another “in the near future – and sooner than most anticipate – there will be a significant reallocation of capital.” Fink mentions climate Change so what else could Fink be thinking of when he mentions the 2 above ? How about social credit score, digital currency, digital identity, and a Universal Basic Income,? .
A bonus – Fink mentions SASB in his letter – Donors [ I see several which I recognize as EY[ is connected to Lynn de Rothschild’s Inclusive Capitalism] , Rockefeller Foundation, etc..
This 2018 article raises serious concerns about the power imbalance between employees and employers. These concerns ought to be exponentially troubling given the
1) shift to online work-from-home platforms 2) the astronomical numbers of unemployed people
“This report offers some preliminary research and observations on what we call the “datafication of employment.” Our thesis is that data-mining techniques innovated in the consumer realm have moved into the workplace. Firms who’ve made a fortune selling and speculating on data acquired from consumers in the digital economy are now increasingly doing the same with data generated by workers. Not only does this corporate surveillance enable a pernicious form of rent-seeking—in which companies generate huge profits by packaging and selling worker data in marketplace hidden from workers’ eyes—but also, it opens the door to an extreme informational asymmetry in the workplace that threatens to give employers nearly total control over every aspect of employment.”
See also: “The ‘AI Agenda’ is Furthered by the Financial Crisis of 2020 We’ll move increasingly towards a world of remote work, E-commerce, grocery delivery and social distancing where AI and not the consumer becomes the central part of human society. The levers of production, consumption and demand will be altered and engineered accordingly. If algorithms already took over a larger place in how human beings behave on the internet, what happens when AI takes on the same role in the actual physical economy? In the 21st century we’ll find out, and it won’t be a more human-centric system. The business collapse of 2020 ironically leads us to greater centralization and a distribution of wealth that favors a more extreme pyramidal capitalism, where human agency is more limited and the economy is more determined by automation, algorithms, AI and powerful corporate companies. The stock market of 2019 already saw that technology companies such as Apple, Microsoft and FANG stocks become “overweight”. The financial crisis of 2020 isn’t a great depression, it’s a great reorientation of the global economy. A liquidity crisis and business collapse favors the wealthy and forces downward social mobility for the rest of us. It kills small businesses and uplifts powerful companies with huge reserves of cash. The global economy post 2020 will be vastly different and will likely favor countries like China, which are rapidly investing in technology and AI. The temporary shock to the global economy is a global reset that favors the business models of the most dominant technology companies of the world.”
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
“People can choose sex work and performance within porn as a career. They can do that in ways that are healthy and fulfilling to them.” So, when you think about possible fulfilling career options that your child might choose, does sex worker or porn performer come to mind? ⁉️
Over the weekend, Planned Parenthood partner Amaze in their Askable Parent series featured a FB live discussion about porn with Melissa Pintor Carnagey, founder of Sex Positive Families. Amaze and Sex Positive Families (launched in June 2017) have been “growing together” and have a shared mission “to raise sexually healthy children.” They assert that they are “really bold and unapologetic” about it.
Before I tell you about the advice they offered parents regarding teaching their kids how to “think critically” about porn, I have to tell you about the blatantly harmful ideology that is being espoused by these groups. In the video posted below, Melissa explains how she didn’t grow up with “sex positive” messages. She grew up Catholic. I’m assuming this means that she was taught sex was private, reserved for marriage and that being chaste and modest were virtues that should be embraced. I imagine this view of sex is what she refers to in the video as “sex negative.” She goes on to say, “I knew that as I approached my own parenting journey I wanted to do better. I wanted to make sure that my daughter had an understanding of her body, had an understanding of her rights to pleasure without shame.”
So, there you have it. Children have sexual rights. Children have a right to experience sexual pleasure. This is the very dangerous underlying philosophy behind Comprehensive Sexuality Education. It is “Kinseyian.” Alfred Kinsey, known as the father of the sexual revolution and instrumental in the founding of SIECUS, asserted that children were sexual from birth and that they should be allowed to participate in all sorts of sexual activity, even from a young age. Not only does Melissa assert Kinsey’s ideas about sexual rights for children, she also promotes the idea that abstinence until marriage is a “sex negative” message.
Here are lowlights from this video, including quotes from Melissa. My commentary appears after the quotes:
@29:46 Melissa explains the difference between ethical or feminist porn and mainstream porn. “Ethical or feminist” porn compensates the performers fairly and secures their consent, whereas mainstream porn exploits women. 🧐🤔 So, Melissa tells parents that they should encourage their kids to know the difference between these two types of porn and if they are going to watch porn it should be the “ethical” kind. ❓🤦♀️
@30:30 Melissa recommends the website Scarlateen and Heather Corinna’s book, S.E.X. as a resource for kids to learn about sex. I have featured Scarlateen in MIP before. This is the vile site where kids can buy condoms and lube from the Slippery Slope Shop or where they can find links in articles to interviews of porn stars or where they can download the ezine F*ck Me, a place to list the kind of people they like to have sex with. I will be doing an expose on Corinna’s book, S.E.X. soon. ❌❌❌
@34:10 “People can choose sex work and performance within porn as a career. They can do that in ways that are healthy and fulfilling to them.” Yes, because we want to promote to kids that sex work is a viable career option (sarcasm). 😲
@38:00 “If they are experiencing arousal, if they are high time in puberty period and they are feeling really aroused or seeking pleasure then you can talk about what are some ways again that you can enjoy pleasure that don’t have to be dependent on porn, on watching porn.” Melissa says that if parents don’t feel comfortable with their kids watching porn (even though it is perfectly normal to watch porn… well, as long as it’s ethical porn) they can redirect them to masturbation as an alternative activity instead. 🤨
@39:40 “Sexuality isn’t something that you age into with puberty, with hormones. Sexuality is lifespan. It’s with us from womb to tomb.” Enter Kinsey. No hiding it. Melissa just states it very matter of factly. ❗️❗️❗️
@40:12 “Our young people are getting to know their bodies from infancy and even in utero, in womb, they’re getting to know their bodies and we want to encourage, not discourage that. We want to encourage our children getting to know their bodies.” This is grooming. 😠
@41:00 “A connection to our bodies is what keeps us safer ultimately. So when parents can understand that too, is that through a young person exploring their body and it’s not always about the genitals, it could even be just recognizing that if you stroke your hair and you feel like that feels good to you, do you have the language and the context to explain that to someone else, just the same is if your hair got pulled and that didn’t feel good to you would you be able to speak up about that? Would you know what to say and how to describe that? That helps you have a connection to your body and develop the language that keeps you safer. So related to masturbation, masturbation is a process that can happen as an activity, that can happen in toddlerhood on through. And so, the best thing that parents can do is not shame it, not shut it down, acknowledge that it could happen, and you can help a young person find private spaces for it.” Melissa is instructing parents to teach their kids that if it feels good and they like it, then it is okay to do it. Here is the philosophy behind teaching kids how to consent to sex. Kids are being taught in CSE curriculum to consent to sex by saying yes or no to certain sexual acts. This sets them up to be manipulated and victimized by a person who wants to take advantage. The most skilled perpetrators groom and manipulate children into sexual relationships by helping them experience pleasurable sexual feelings and then convincing them to participate in sexual acts. Many victims of sex abuse recount that the violation felt good or experience guilt over “consenting” to the abuse. Teaching still developing, mentally, emotionally and physically immature children to consent to sex sets them up for victimization. 🙅♀️🔥⚠️‼️
@41:57 “It can feel good to touch our genitals, because our genitals have a lot of nerve endings packed into small places. It’s great that you are getting to know your body.” 🤨
@42:10 “Masturbation or self-pleasure is something that they have access to, you can redirect them if necessary to their room or the bathtub, just spaces in the home, so they can have their own private space… body aware young people is a goal.” Melissa actually brainstorms ways parents can help their kids masturbate. ‼️😠
One of the most dangerous things about this video discussion is how reasonable and likeable both the interviewer from Amaze and Melissa from SPF appear. I can see how people can be easily drawn in by them. They’re just moms who seem to be generally interested in protecting their kids. Yet, they have been taken captive by a very unhealthy and destructive ideology that perpetuates the gross sexualization of children, an ideology that grooms children and sets them up for victimization and puts them at risk for early sexual debut that can lead to STIs, unplanned pregnancy and emotional and spiritual damage.
Find out if Amaze or Sex Positive Families are recommended resources in the curriculum being taught in your child’s school. If so, report it here and then tell your school officials that they should not be promoting them. We can only bring change if we make our voices heard.

These people are sick. I hope you asl watch Out Of Shadows 4 million views in 3 days. Truth about manipulation by media and Hollywood. And their satanic worship. Parents should see this documentary It took 2 years to make. By a 28 year veteran of Hollywood ( stuntman, fight coordinator, director, former cia whistle blower and a 20 year award winning journalist Liz Crokin. You tube or fb page of Liz Crokin Out of shadows
It will give you more to work with trying to help people see we need to stop this education system
It is an excellent documentary filling in the details how we have been brainwashed by the media. It exposes Disney and the trauma and sex they expose our kids to.
I found that group (Sex Positive Families) in my research. They are aligned with the Texas Freedom Network sex ed push: http://tfn.org/sex-ed/partners
Yes, I was just on the phone with someone from Texas last week and they explained how these groups are working together to insert CSE into the schools.
SEL is a problem too. It psychologically prepares students to accept the gross sexualization presented in CSE.
And another post from this group:
“In 2018, UNESCO released “international technical guidance on sexuality education” urging schools to teach children about “sexual pleasure,” masturbation, and “responses to sexual stimulation” before they even turn 10. By 12, the standards call for children to be taught that “non-penetrative sexual behaviors” can be “pleasurable.” “ See it here: https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000260770
This article names all the players peddling pornographic sex ed… SIECUS, Planned Parenthood, Amaze, and Sex Positive Parenting. There are others too, but I found it interesting that these are all the organizations that I have highlighted over the past week and they are all named together here.
“Topics such as anal sex and gender identity cannot be properly processed by a young mind that has not yet developed the executive function of the brain. This is why much of the content taught under the guise of sex “education” amounts to child abuse.”
“These sex peddlers lie to children. They tell them that they have sexual ‘rights.’”
“At this time, parents have a great opportunity to reclaim the right to teach their children about chastity, purity, marriage, and responsible sex-education.”
Here is a post from the Florida anti-iReady group:
Hi my daughter is struggling with Iready and successmaker. She has no problem with other assignments but it’s a daily battle to get her to stay focused with these 2 platforms. It is so boring!
I really want to tell them we refuse and won’t be participating any longer. Can anybody tell me what the repercussions are and what she will do instead? Thank you.
Also what are these platforms used for? What is the purpose? I’m ready to go crazy over here. I’m going to start by emailing and asking for answers.
And some replies to this post;
We have issues with Iready too.. my son can’t focus on it as well
I told the teachers that we will not be doing it. They continue to assign, we continue to ignore. Every week I remind that we will not do it. I’ve offered to do something in place of, such as a novel study or AR tests for reading or Khan Academy or Delta Math for reading. The first week, my 5th grader was assigned an essay in place of I-Ready, but nothing since. To be totally honest, I am no longer concerned with my kids grades this year. Elementary grades will follow them nowhere. Even 3rd graders are getting promoted. Don’t do it, and don’t worry about it.
Side note: I believe anything that is boring and that a student absolutely hates WILL NOT promote learning. I-Ready makes kids hate the entire idea of reading. Also, I’m an ELA teacher.
We don’t do it. My 1st grader in school reads books or does tumble books. She has done nothing to replace it during elearning. My 4th grader had printed out achieve 3000 articles now she’s doing articles from Newsela & the math teacher makes up or prints out a alternative for her. This week i printed out the iready sheets & she did those. In science/ ss she researches a subject & writes a 2 paragraph essay about it.
I would just use ANYthing that was relevant (online or offline) and keep records. SuccessMaker and iReady are junk!
To respond to the repercussions aspect of your question, I would maintain that this situation we are currently in is unprecedented and without protocol. Therefore, as the PARENT, you are making decisions for your child(ren) and family that should prevail over ANY other (or educational). Keep working, keep records, and dig your heels in HARD if anyone tells you your child will suffer academic consequences.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Beyond “Smart” cities, we now have something called “Cognitive” cities.
“Verma makes the distinction between safe, smart and cognitive cities: “A *safe city aims to ensure the safety and security of its residents, whilst *smart initiatives go further, improving the operations of city. *Cognitive cities take things to the next level by keeping citizens engaged and contributing to the gathering of the relevant data. The insights from which can be used not only to improve security, safety and city operations, but also the lives of residents.” He adds: “Cognitive cities are much better positioned to thrive in the face of significant challenges such as clean water scarcity, climate change, and providing functional and efficient mass transportation at mega-city scales. It is an ambitious goal that not only holds the promise of being more resilient, but at the same time promotes civic participation, sense of community and the health and wellbeing of citizens.”
This company, Qognify, piloted a surveillance program at the University of Tulsa.
Wouldn’t you know that the UniversityofTulsa was an early adopter of advanced campus surveillance using artificial intelligence algorithms.
“According to analysts, the technology is gaining ground at colleges around the country as artificial intelligence algorithms get better at integrating with high-resolution cameras to identify objects and patterns of activity.
For example, applications with facial recognition systems, paired with tools such as Cisco’s video surveillance manager, can control access to residence halls. Similar systems can scan the license plates of visiting vehicles.” For higher education public safety officers, analytics software automates searches of video footage.
I think I just found a big development. I was looking at the evil Scarleteen site to try and see who funds them.
I came across this part:
Our educational model and philosophy is and has always been guided by both unschooling and the Montessori method. Our content and approach is original and strongly youth-driven but is also in alignment with current guidelines for comprehensive sexuality education for adolescents such as those suggested by SIECUS (US), UNESCO (International), the National Health Education Standards (US) and Sex and Relationships Education (UK). We also meet the standards suggested in the new American School Health Association’s National Sexuality Education Standards: Core Content and Skills, K-12. It is in alignment with the core of most current, quality comprehensive sex education curricula, such as Our Whole Lives, Advocates for Youth’s Life Planning Education program, F.L.A.S.H., and is in particular accord with the newly-released It’s All One curriculum, developed by the International Sexuality and HIV Curriculum Working Group.
So I went to the CDC page for the National Health Education Standards, and found what I’d long suspected:
First published in 1995, the NHES were created in response to several model standards being developed for other areas of education by educational leaders across the United States in the early 1990s. With support from the American Cancer Societyexternal icon, the Joint Committee on National Health Education Standards was formed to develop the standards. Committee members included: American Public Health Associationexternal icon American School Health Associationexternal icon SHAPE America (Society of Health and Physical Educators)external icon Over the last decade, the NHES became an accepted reference on health education, providing a framework for the adoption of standards by most states. A review process begun in 2004 resulted in revisions to the NHES that acknowledged the impact and strength of the original document and took into account more than 10 years of use nationwide. The 2nd edition National Health Education Standards—Achieving Excellence promises to reinforce the positive growth of health education and to challenge schools and communities to continue efforts toward excellence in health education.
Loads of these groups like Shape America are tied to the Sex Ed stuff from 2020 (or earlier). Which even more points to what I’d long suspected, that the sex ed is actually part of the ESSA’s “health’ stuff.
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
I know people that work for a text book company.
The company has been notified by many of their College and University clients, that they are not planning to have on-campus classes in the fall.
Instead these Colleges and Universities are planning on having only on-line classes this FALL due to Covid_19.
So have any of these colleges notified their students? I’ve only heard of a few. (such as Boston College)
And what price will students be asked to pay?
So far, some colleges and universities have refunded room and board only.
On-line coursework is substantially less money in most cases.
How many students are already locked into housing for the next year? Most students have to find it the year before and they start paying rent in June.
Yet you may only receive on-line classes now?
The company is xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. (I have been asked to remove the publisher in concern for jobs – which is totally fair – though many people are discussing this and I have heard it from other people from other publishers as well. )I do not know which clients aren’t moving forward with a normal school schedule in the fall.
Here is a post that my friend from Oklahoma shared:
School may be out, but sexual health education is still going! 🎉
Amplify Tulsa is partnering with our most popular curriculum developer to sponsor independent study courses for middle and high school! This means you and the young people in your life can have access to comprehensive, evidence-based sexual health education in the comfort of your home!
We are incredibly excited to bring this opportunity to the community. Evidence-based sex education has been proven through rigorous evaluation to reduce teen pregnancy, behavioral risk factors underlying teen pregnancy, or other associated risk behaviors.
Sponsorships are limited, so please only sign up for the course if you are committed to utilizing the resource
Folks – once we go down the blockchain ID road, there is no turning back. Don’t give up everything for the illusion of “safety.” Digital health passports tied to mobility and access is social credit scoring pure and simple. Go along and you’re giving your life and the lives of your family and neighbors to big tech. Mark my words. You will regret it terribly. Don’t. Just don’t.
Providence Health, a Catholic health system serving seven western states, developed an AI chat bot with Microsoft. Of course they called it “Grace.” Welcome to mHealth in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. “Health” = UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 – The Pope believes AI will solve poverty-or perhaps just “impact” it.
“Providence, one of the largest health systems in the U.S. headquartered near Seattle and serving seven Western states, had previously used Microsoft’s Healthcare Bot service running on Azure to create a healthcare chatbot named Grace that could help answer patient’s questions online. Using CDC guidelines and its own clinical protocols, Providence was able to build a similar Coronavirus Assessment Tool in just three days to help people in the communities it serves know whether they should seek medical attention for their respiratory symptoms. The tool, which launched in early March, can bring a prospective patient directly into a telehealth session with a clinician to get immediate care. It also aims to prevent healthy people or those with mild symptoms from showing up at clinics and emergency departments, which helps to limit community infection and save hospital beds and equipment for those who need it.””
“Providence was able to build a similar Coronavirus Assessment Tool in just three days…” Imagine that…
“Healthcare organizations have emerged as a major market for large tech firms as they look to build out their enterprise cloud platforms with Microsoft’s Azure platform competing head-to-head with Google Health Cloud and Amazon Web Services.”
Tulsa has had it’s fair share of CBDG activity. Bank of Oklahoma and the Tulsa Industrial Authority worked together to develop the Kendall-Whittier Promise Neighborhood, which houses an Educare Early Childhood Development Center. TU and GKFF built a mixed-income housing development for the neighborhood, too. I wonder if it’s SMART housing? Were the previous property owners fairly compensated for the land that will become part of the tech-innovation corridor that runs from TU’S campus to downtown?
TU announced mandatory furloughs today. Probably not long before TU’s bond holders call the notes. Who holds TU’S bonds? Who manages the endowment?
From 2011: Treasurer Miller Appoints Investment Advisory Committee OKLAHOMA CITY – State Treasurer Ken Miller today announced appointment of a committee to advise him on investment of the state’s $5 billion investment portfolio. Miller said the goal of the five-member committee is to examine the state’s portfolio structure and provide recommendations to maximize investment returns given changing market conditions. “With our macro environment transitioning from a recessionary to a recovering economy, the committee will complete a thorough review of the state’s current investment allocations and make suggestions on how best to restructure our portfolio to maximize the return on the taxpayer’s dollar,” Miller said. Former State Treasurer Scott Meacham will chair the committee. Other members of the committee include: Bob Neville, Executive Vice President of Investments for BancFirst; Gordon Sellon, PhD, former Federal Reserve economist and professor of economics at Oklahoma City University; Robert Thomas, Chief Investment Officer for George Kaiser Family Foundation and James Wilbanks, PhD, Executive Director of the Oklahoma Teachers Retirement System. In the current fiscal year, the office is projected to earn $92 million on its investments. Earnings for next fiscal year are estimated to be $96 million. Miller said the committee held an organizational meeting on Monday in the treasurer’s office. Plans are for the panel to meet monthly for the next year. “In this challenging investment climate where market returns are expected to be low and potentially volatile, I am confident this committee’s vast investment and economic experience will add significant value. I appreciate their service and look forward to working with them in the coming year,” Miller said. Meacham is a shareholder and director at the Crowe and Dunlevy law firm. He served as state treasurer for five and a half years. He also served as State Finance Director for two and a half years. During his eight-year tenure in state government, Meacham was Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Revenue. He is a Certified Financial Planner and holds a bachelor’s degree in finance, Masters of Business Administration and Juris Doctorate from the University of Oklahoma. He previously served as president of First National Bank of Elk City. As Executive Vice President of Investment for BancFirst, Bob Neville is responsible for the management of the bank’s investment securities portfolio and three common fixed-income funds of the bank’s trust department. He previously worked in the Investment and Funding Division of First National Bank of Oklahoma City. A native Oklahoman, Neville earned a BBA from the University of Oklahoma. As Chief Investment Officer for the George Kaiser Family Foundation, Robert Thomas is responsible for the financial administration and management of its $4 billion investment portfolio. He previously was a portfolio manager for the Bill Gates Investment Office, which invests the personal assets of Gates and the assets of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Thomas earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from Claremont McKenna College, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Prior to becoming a professor of economics at Oklahoma City University, Gordon Sellon was Senior Vice President and Director of Research at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, retiring at the end of 2009 after a 30-year career. He was chief economist for the Kansas City Fed and served as an associate economist for the Federal Open Market Committee. Sellon received his undergraduate degree in economics from Harvard College and his master’s and PhD in economics from the University of Michigan. Prior to heading the Oklahoma Teachers Retirement System, James Wilbanks served as Director of Revenue and Fiscal Policy for the State Treasurer’s Office from 2005 to 2008. Previously, he headed the fiscal and Research Division of the Office of State Finance. Wilbanks holds a PhD in economics from the University of Oklahoma. To prevent any conflict of interest, no member of the committee is employed by a company that is on the approved vendor list of firms authorized to bid on state treasurer’s investments. # # # For more information contact: Tim Allen, Deputy Treasurer for Communications & Program Administration (405) 522-4212
And the post that she quoted:
HEY ARE HOLDING YOUR MONEY For all the small business owners out there struggling to keep things afloat, worrying how you’re going to make it, you can thank Mayor Holt and the greed of the following OKC “non-profits” as they have joined together with others across the nation, and are insisting they be paid $53.55 billion dollars and that it be paid out using “CDBG structure”. I had never heard of that before, but apparently it is wrought with fraud and is just more social justice nonsense. Every single one of these nonprofits on this list, should be thoroughly examined, or at the minimum, the directors should be exposed and publicly humiliated. I understand how these people work, they stick together, but we don’t need our tax money going to this #COVIDSham! Oh, and it seems these non-profits are big proponents of testing as well! What a joke!

Do you see the third column over – they are tracking HOW LONG you are in proximity to a given person.
MIT definitely wants us all on their “path.”
And this from the Covid-19 Credentials Initiative website – “controlled,” yeah, got that. Now MEASURABLE – that is 1000% impact investing language – pandemic bond language. F*ck the World Bank. Seriously. I’m SO angry. And what, there’s maybe a fraction of a percent of people who are even going to bother to try and understand what I’m saying. https://www.covidcreds.com/#Partners

I’ve been following the so called ‘truth’ movement since the late 1980’s…. and everything they’re rolling out is exactly the goals of the shadowy Elite I’ve been hearing about for decades now.. even ol’ Henry Kissinger has been rolled out into the public eye once again … to watch these plans come to fruition so rapidly after all this time is truly mind blowing…. and to add insult, act as if they are pulling this together out of no where just in time for public panic event.. makes my head spin….
And look at the two GPS pin drops interlocked….ugh. That’s what we’ve become? Conjoined data points…
[removed taking God’s name in vain. that catch phrase.. ” the way back to normal starts here” …. puts my stomach in a knot just repeating it out loud..

They are partners in the Covid-19, get back to normal with digital surveillance effort. It will be linked to digital ID. https://www.covidcreds.com/#Top
Um, he provides cover for LOTS of people no one knows about. That’s his role in this drama.
He is the out in front bad guy to keep the eyes of the public on him so Harvard and MIT can get the programs online for the larger system.
He is thus, a key orchestrator for all of it: Vaccines, digital money, digital passports, etc.
A key orchestrator, but not the only one. Bloomberg’s role is to get the IoT / Smart Cities / Behavioral Digital Nudge / Automated Police State Online for example.
Perfect set up, as the sheeple think he is a hero. Mother f* who has already poisoned our food with glyphosate.
Pierre Omidyar is also working on digital ID and behavior tracking apps and impact finance.
They are roughing out the plumbing now for the entire human capital finance system – but it is a many-headed hydra. The Impact Management Project has 2,000 members. So in a way anyone who has a pension or a 401k or pays into insurance is part of the machine. It is capitalism moving to liquify the real world as data and push us into transhumanism to extract our essence for profit and control. Gates is a touchpoint for all of this, but if we imagine the target is one person rather than a structure, we will not come up with the most effective resistance strategy.
Controlled Opposition Everywhere
I witnessed it for years in education. “Social justice” bleeding heart liberals who would never step in to protect children from predatory ed-tech. We are supposed to be allowed to protest a bit, but only on the terms that suit their purposes.
Who are the “digital privacy evangelists”? I find that hard to believe.
See, that is the trap. The trap of “privacy.” It is the digital identity that will turn us into data commodities / brands. They say you can keep your data private, but maybe you need to get on a bus and unlock your data to get a QR code with an approved health status to be allowed to ride. The rich control their own destinies. So, they will have the “privacy” that is pure. Everyone else will be forced to give it up. Personal data will be the new digital currency. It is sick, twisted stuff.
There is no place left to go. That’s more unsettling than any piece of this rollout.
So we fight were we stand. It is the masses against transnational global capital. As long as we don’t fall back on nationalist tropes, it is an amazing opportunity to organize for world peace and right relationships – IF we can wake people up. It is fight for hearts and minds. People’s minds are so cloudy now.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
A PermanentCrisis is perfect for PayForSuccess profiteering.
“The new coronavirus pandemic and the resulting government response have already revealed several areas in which PFS principles can turn emergency measures into sustainable social programs to achieve lasting outcomes. To do this, however, calls for unprecedented commitments and collaboration by all of the actors in the PFS ecosystem.”
The number of PFS projects like Denver’s are growing every year. The first project in the United States launched in 2012 in New York City, and now there are about 20 projects that are in progress or complete, hundreds more in the planning stage. On the Federal level, the most recent budget included the Social Impact Partnerships to Pay for Results Act (SIPPRA). SIPPRA enacts a $100 million fund housed within the Department of Treasury. It is still to be seen how the fund will work, but it will likely support Pay for Success projects across the country in the areas of early childhood, foster care, juvenile justice, education, employment, and homelessness among others.
Watch for this in the use of stimulus funds – this is why they’re wrecking the economy: “By embracing data and technology, for example, government could make anonymized administrative data available to the social sector, with strong privacy safeguards. Governments could then work with service providers to actively manage their performance and adapt as needed. Both service providers and policy makers could track outcomes and measure them at the population level, enabling data-informed policy and program decisions, and ultimately ensuring that results—rather than inputs or outputs—determine how agencies and communities allocate public dollars. To make this a reality, philanthropies should partner with government and nonprofits, and fund their capacity to do this work. In addition, the federal government should give state and local governments the flexibility to blend and braid together tightly controlled federal funding streams, encouraging investment in better data systems, good evaluations, and the staff and technical assistance necessary to fundamentally improve the way governments and service providers execute their work. Creating new state and local “outcomes funds” to make payments based on results could catalyze healthy debates in city councils and state legislatures across America about where communities most want to see measurable progress.”
But I’m wondering if the various stimulus disbursements to businesses and govt will promote the data capture infrastructure. Also, by wrecking the economy and pushing more people onto public service programs, they’ll expand the data grab to so many people! Here’s a letter requesting CARES support for non-profits. Is this weird?
Here’s how profiteers are goimg to require that our EVERY behavior is going to be tracked. Starting with health care workers: “Thrive Global is working with its corporate partners to both scale immunity-building preventive behaviors — like sleep, hydration, nutrition and healthy mental habits — and help newly-remote workers adjust to their new normal (with a special emphasis on focus and interpersonal connection). And we are developing programs to address the ongoing crisis of provider burnout and better care for health workers, not just during this epidemic, but over the long haul. But all of us can help combat the spread by taking simple steps to protect our own health and boost our immune system. By simply washing our hands regularly and vigorously, avoiding touching our faces, steering clear of anyone who is sick — and leaving the supply of surgical masks in place for healthcare personnel — we can significantly mitigate our own risk of illness and lessen the strain of those on the front lines. And finally, just like doctors and nurses, it’s imperative that we prioritize whole-human well-being in our own lives — building healthy habits around sleep, movement, nutrition and hydration that help us mitigate stress, avoid burnout and truly recharge. Ultimately, these are the most important disease-prevention steps all of us can take.
On P3s and rationing: “Across the globe, rapidly scalable innovations in distribution are urgently needed to ensure high-quality, essential products are available, accessible, and affordable for all. …
Changing Policies to Ensure Widespread Consumer Access One of the most important roles governments played was in issuing new regulations or updating existing policies that might hobble efforts to quickly, extensively, and efficiently distribute health products. And businesses demonstrated a willingness to adjust their products and services for the sake of everyone’s health. Mandating equal access can prevent hoarding. Previously, sales of masks to the public were not rationed. As fear of COVID-19 rose and demand for masks grew, the potential for consumers to hoard masks could have increased, leaving some without access to preventive products. To reduce inequities in access and optimize widespread use of masks, governments in Taiwan and South Korea mandated the number of them that could be sold to each individual every week. In Taiwan, each person had the right to obtain three masks. In South Korea, each person could buy two masks per week. Rations were linked to national identification numbers, and in a rural region of Korea, provisions were put in place to waive the printing fees for the national identification card for vulnerable populations, such as youth, to lower barriers to access. Policy changes to limit purchasing were enacted by retailers, signaling a willingness to shift business practices for the greater good.”
those LiftFund supporters are a grand slam! Since we’re headed into the Texas Triangle megaregion together, I figure we ought to start thinking about some joint TX-OK actions.
I bet it will! Those govt grants to businesses… I can see why the businesses need them because they’re likely not being paid for services up and down supply chains. All the ed grants I’ve read came with a ton of govt strings..
this is why the 5G towers are going up all over the place. They are using this pandemic as the catalyst for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, surveillance state. They are going to track – and control! – all our actions. Tulsa is already working with the UK-based Behavioral Insights team to develop “nudge” programs. With Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg.
How much you want to bet this is tied to those San Jose tiny houses
they have to get those “return” investments… I will never forget in one of the articles on tiny homes from like a year ago about it talking about how the light turning a different color … Like I can’t even imagine being trapped in one of those tiny houses being mined for impact data. They could literally even do simple stuff like constantly alter your house temp/lighting color/etc. by clicking a button like how is a person supposed to remain stable in an environment like that.
Blackrock has just taken over the FED and the Treasury no?
How much money did Bezos make this past month? Well positioned to make that Sorry To Bother You’s “WorryFree” a reality.
these are incredibly frustrating times for sure. people that i used to think were intelligent are now screaming at me that i’m killing people if i leave the house without a mask, or if i post anything questioning the official narrative. neighbors are reporting on neighbors. some sick shit going down. it’s too dark for most ppl to fathom. and it’s right out in the open, which seems to make the general public trust it. “oh gee if it’s out in the open like this it must be good for us!” ugh!!
Thanks. I just feel like we are in a state of psychological warfare and people are incapacitated by it.
absolutely. It is total war. war on every front. Economic. Biological. Psychological. Don’t forget paperclip and MK Ultra. Mind control/psychological warfare is definitely part of the big picture.
Many people won’t be able to readily or easily take in your research because the fear of survival instinct has taken over.
Human employment eviscerated. Imagine the mental harm, the poverty, the devastation, the social disruption. It is almost unimaginable what is ahead. That so many people simply parrot their framing language and choose not to have a more nuanced discussion of what is really happening – people who KNOW what has been laid out by the education privatization agenda. I’m just feeling like I’m being pushed to move on and it feels like a loss, a breach of trust. There’s just a lot of grief.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
Ah…a new wrinkle. So, Blockchain is meant to ensure “quality.” Tracking for safety of food / medicine – that things are kept at the right temperature during transport, etc. AND there are many concerns about quality in Covid-19 – are the tests right? Do they work? So in 2017 the World Bank (same year they started selling pandemic bonds) pitches Blockchain for vaccine tracking. I suspect the goal is to link specific doses to specific people – measuring “efficacy” over time – for the pay for success deals. In this way immunity passports on blockchain will provide needed infrastructure. The quantum-dot tattoos are essentially barcodes, linked to blockchain data. And Gates’s plan is to continuously upgrade our biological operating system (in response to future outbreaks) with the mRNA synthetic biology “software” he is funding (Moderna). And investors are already gambling on human capital – what happens when the metrics for “success” become measurable biological change? How do we keep this plan from coming together?
For all you Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, and Michael Bloomberg lovers out there…
Here are a few projects they’re funding right here in Tulsa. Particularly concerning are the programs with Behavioural Insights, a UK-based group that uses the “nudge” to encourage specific behavioral outcomes.

“The 10 cities have already begun working with a team of advisors from Results for America and the Behavioral Insights Team, both partners in What Works Cities, a Bloomberg Philanthropies initiative that helps cities confront urgent challenges through data- and evidence-based decision-making. The cities will deepen their data skills and strengthen their ability to deliver results to residents with the help of experts from other What Works Cities partners, including Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Government Excellence, the Harvard Kennedy School’s Government Performance Lab and the Sunlight Foundation.
Additionally, Opportunity Insights at Harvard University is helping the cities draw insights regarding economic mobility in their communities using data from the Opportunity Atlas, an interactive resource developed in collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau.”
Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Ballmer Group announced today that Tulsa was selected as one of ten American cities that will participate in a new national initiative to identify, pilot, and measure the success of interventions to accelerate economic mobility for their residents. NextUp, a new program administered by Tulsa Community WorkAdvance (TCW), a successful evidence-based non-profit organization, will serve as the key partner for the initiative. The City of Tulsa will serve as the government agency partner.
The organizations that will provide support for the cities’ efforts are Results for America, the Center for Government Excellence at Johns Hopkins University, the Government Performance Lab at the Harvard Kennedy School, Sunlight Foundation and The Behavioral Insights Team. The What Works Cities initiative is one of many Bloomberg Philanthropies programs designed to, as its press release says, help cities innovate and find solutions to issues as diverse as climate change, public health and employment in a global economy.
Part of the selection criteria for the participating cities was also whether they demonstrated a willingness to use data and evidence-driven decision-making. Karen Pennington is the managing director of Tulsa Community WorkAdvance, a nonprofit group that partners with that city and is helping to lead the work there. Tulsa’s project involves helping young people who are not currently working or going to school to get the education and training needed to change that, eventually getting good jobs. There are many industries in Tulsa — oil, gas, aerospace, manufacturing, health care, accounting and IT — where businesses are experiencing a shortage of qualified candidates, Pennington said. The work there involves helping local young people get the skills and training they need to fill those jobs, thereby helping both employers and individuals, ultimately bolstering the local economy.
James Wagner agrees. As Chief of Performance Strategy and Innovation in Tulsa, Okla., he worked with BIT on two behavioral trials. One produced a 15-percent boost in the number of people paying off traffic fines after receiving a text message from the city reminding them when their payment is due. “The takeaway for me was to test something before going all-in on a strategy,” Wagner said, noting that the text-messaging trial cost just $100 to run. “It might not have worked. We could have easily just assumed it would work, and before we’d know it, we’d be $15,000 down the road with a vendor and not know if it works or not.”
Mayor GT Bynum thanks for involving the good people of Tulsa in this awful technocratic plan. Are you aware of the ways that this will contribute to social credit scoring and short-selling of children’s life outcomes? Do all the folks at ImpactTulsa know that these “data-driven” plans turn children into data commodities? If they don’t know, are you comfortable keeping them in the dark about it? Because I can’t imagine how anyone who understands where this is headed could, with a clear conscience, accept it.
These are surveillance playtables. Capturing data from preschool children, turning them into the data supply stream. Are you guys really comfortable with this??
yes. Educare. And ImpactTulsa is StriveTogether, which is not only Kaiser, but Ballmer and KnowledgeWorks and plenty of other HuCap speculators.
the vulture philanthropy cycle is so insidious. No concern to solve the real problems because that would dry up the profit/impact stream.
you said it and we see it at play right now. Shelter in Place, while we stick it to you!
The “nudge” sounds so innocuous, but it is the idea of a push from the outside because they can’t allow things to happen organically. This model here is the model they used when passing our Better Streets, Safer City initiative. They ushered in all of these dangerous individuals, right under our noses. I believe Tulsa partnered with these same players under Dewey Bartlett’s leadership, to pass the Better Streets, Safer City. You might check.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
Pandemic disease surveillance is a cattle prod to force acceptance of digital ID, unlocking infinite impact investing schemes.
I was thinking about a possible backlash related to these nanotechnologies… Once folks understand they can be tracked with digitally created bio-marker ID’s, those folks sensitive to maintaining their civil liberties might have something to say.
you know it’s a bad sign when the majority of them are already in Little Sis.
Unfortunately at the moment the folks pushing around these issues are being framed in partisan ways, which is not helpful to us. Check this out. The Matrix.
If you remove some of the zeroes, it says “2020 666”.
I found this and posted it:
Maybe I’m going crazy and have finally cracked, but I’ve heard of things scanning people to see if they have the virus. Now apparently Amazon is scanning for fevers.
It would seem now that we have a danger of them scanning us with questionable technology that could send us into quarantine or for “treatment” and ruin livelihoods (among other things) by classifying someone, be it an employer or a customer or whatever, as “sick”.
Or am I reading too much into stories like this? Amazon.com Inc has started to use thermal cameras at its warehouses to speed up screening for feverish workers who could be infected with the coronavirus, employees told Reuters.
Quite frankly it is now necessary, more than ever, to see school spending reigned in… In the post McCleary days Washington property owners were already reeling under assessment increases.. and next year will be worse.. The one thing I learned over my years working in the public schools is than no matter how much money they were given, it was never enough.. And now they essentially have a blank check. The cost of providing education must be decreased. If that means providing basic education via internet, in order to not have to maintain buildings and keep the utilities on, or it means that sports fields and other facilities are no longer a cost to the system.. But the average family will not be financially able to weather another property tax bump. We will have more homeless on the state than we already do. The reality is, while legislators may be coming to understand that no matter how much they feed the beast, it will never be satiated; the SPI wants to lengthen both the school year and the school day.. Costing even more and keeping kids away from their homes and families more as well. The sky is really not the limit.. and yes, some families can afford to give their kids something different.. that’s life. We can’t keep doling out more and more to schools, until people are losing their homes.
tax Gates. Tax Bezos. Tax Boeing, Microsoft, McKinstry and all those corporations and billionaires that received huge tax breaks. It should not be all on the shoulders of the average citizen .
Washington State has the nationally recognized most regressive tax system in the country. By far. Citizens,” in their wisdom,” have voted down a more equitable system (income tax) several times. At the same time, we have a number of terribly profitable businesses and wealthy individuals who proportionally pay very little tax. If you don’t like the amount that individuals pay in school taxes, change the way they are collected and who pays for them. Giving school less money won’t fix anything. And please recall that the McCleary decision is the 2nd time in the past 40 years that the State Supreme Court has had to enforce the “paramount duty” clause of the State Constitution since the Legislature failed in that duty to provide sufficient funding for “basic education.”
Unfortunately, people still believe in trickle down economics. Too many support the ongoing tax cuts to the corporatons. However, those particular corporations do provide many jobs that enable an impressive number of people to be in the higher end of the property tax rosters, while still being able to afford to have the money to do the things that keep countless others employed as well (restaurants, hotels, retail) all with their own taxes associated. So, there’s that.. Don’t forget, Washington State already had Boeing HQ pack up and leave, taking more jobs with them than many people may realize. Can we afford to do that again? Imagine if in the midst of this economic fiasco (which was not caused by any virus) Amazon or Microsoft pulled out.. how many more jobless would there be? Have you ever wondered how much in taxes the professional sports teams have weaselled out of; on top of the taxpayers footing the bill for multi billion dollar stadiums? They provide for far less jobs, particularly ones where people can afford McMansions and have disposable income.. Unfortunately, the conundrum of the schools was brought on by the schools themselves and an increasingly pathetic public.. The system was never designed to be a subsidized sports program, complete with stadiums. Or to provide for every kind of therapy, from counseling to speech, known to mankind. Nor was it designed to open its own health clinics and food pantries. The system has continuously expanded itself with the full realization that it was breaking the bank, and nobody said “Stop, this is not what you’re supposed to be doing.” Instead, we hear “for the sake of the children”… which is often the biggest lie ever told.; It’s usually about power grabs. Schools may have to learn to live within their realistic means, and only provide those things for which they were intended, while letting parents raise their own children. Parents may need to step up and parent. They may need to take Johnny to Dr. appointments, and pony up money for speech therapy, or work with Johnny themselves. Self sufficiency is NOT a bad thing. The lesser hours if indoctrination are not a bad thing either. And the schools (government) being the primary provider of all around care, is an indoctrination tactic. Those who implemented all of these services knew that. In the meantime, I expect to see private “learning centers” pop up… Some will offer full day services, with mainly paras on hand to help kids. Others will be more along the line of Asian style cram schools.. afternoon and evening tutors.. again staffed by paras. If the public bucks the online format, it will be the financial ruin of many families; unless services and extracurricular are drastically cut. This sky’s the limit attitude with education funding is not sustainable. The cram schools will likely become a thing either way.
They will now push online learning more than ever along with personalized learning programs, which btw replaces a lot of teachers. The reasoning will be saving money.
bingo! We aren’t going back. Teachers will lose their jobs and online class sizes will be double what they are now.
yep i am wondering what is going to happen to real estate and property taxes next. Are people going to lose homes and be pushed out of the suburbs and into cities and complexes. Digital learning would be a necessity their too. I also noticed news articles posted how private schools are closing now because of funding issues due to this crisis.
yep, private schools are being shuttered. And real estate is still going up. I don’t get it.
real estate is going up our home hasnt for the past 10 years but property taxes sure have
yeah we had neighbors take a 20% increase on taxes. Ours went down-but I had to fight for it.
and just exactly do you think these kids will need to be used to receiving instruction when they enter the workplace? Remember, vast numbers of them will head out into a service economy… Employers increasingly use online training modules not just for new hires, but for employees seeking promotions, as well as to meet corporate and state mandated training, ie workplace safety, sexual harassment, HIV/ pathogens, hazmat, there’s no risk that an instructor forgets to mention something, every person gets a uniform instruction. Everywhere from fast food, to retail, to working in education relies on this training format now. The move towards it came with the scripted curricula that made a big splash in the early/mid 2000s. Initially it will not replace teachers.. what it will do is eliminate the need for transportation and to build and maintain facilities, and the cost of utilities. The growing demand that every school be a featured as a tribute in Architecture Digest, complete with its own professional recording studio, has been a contributing factor to this; as have the sports stadiums. Those are all major expenses, before any teachers or kids walk in.. Nobody ever thinks about that. In the meantime it also eliminates the need for the further expense of security systems and personnel that is necessary in today’s world… Students being violent with each other, with teachers and oddball and pervert teachers that were increasingly in the news before the shut down.. not to mention the ever looming threats of schools targeted with firearms and explosives. Those problems are automatically solved. The private institutions will need to pony up money for that stuff themselves and the costs can be passed on directly to the consumers using them.. and we will likely see privately operated “learning centers” and something akin to cram schools popping up. Some might be full day programs, others afternoon/ evening.. paras will not be left without jobs, but the source will be privatized.
hm has anyone noticed the increase in student mental health and violence has coincided with the push to digital curriculum products and assessments ? suicide rates have also substantially increased since the implementation of common core, but no one will come out and show this in the media. if you do not believe that teachers are going to be replaced it has already been reported on and students were ticked off so much so they walked out and protested. they have been pushing personalized learning and reducing human teaching time in low income districts already.
i do not believe in pushing preschool and kindergarten children to point and click mice just for the sake of digital assessments and claiming they are learning coding skills. it is full blown bs even in grade school. students need reading writing and arithmetic period. they have been creating problems purposely to sell products and services for profit. smart devices for stupid people is what it is coming down to if we keep allowing them to put into place their crappy agenda. i couldnt believe i had a young teacher tell me agenda2030 is 10 years away and she isnt worried about being replaced because it is 10 years away – really ? insane oh continue on – just thankful we are not participating bring on the physical books ! i just started to teach programming when a student is ready and shows interest. before the brain is developed to understand the concepts of a loop etc then it makes sense. before then it is just clicking and moving boxes of code that mean nothing pretty pictures.
amazing that people are buying into the coding push for their schools too because soon coding is going to be done by artificial intelligence anyway. but then our politicians and ed reformers claim they are teaching for the jobs of the future yet when asked what particular jobs they may be they have no clue its crickets.
the majority of coding is done overseas.. has been for years, the more informed parents know this. It’s done in places like China and increasingly India because coders are for hire a dime a dozen there.. They don’t have to worry about moving into AI for coding until cheap outsourcing runs out.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
It’s important to understand that the choice for Santa Clara to be the subject of the Covid-19 community study has everything to do with Google and interoperable data systems tied to pay for success and smart cities. The immunity passport on blockchain is what they need to mine us as data commodities. This is about more that just digital surveillance, it is about a new era of biocapitalism. Please understand what is happening – the bigger picture. We must resist blockchain ID and ongoing disease surveillance. It’s not just about public health it is about systems control – our social systems subsumed within technocracy. See the map below. Interactive version here.
IF other communities are able to replicate the Stanford / Santa Clara antibody study with similar findings – namely a 0.12 to 0.2% fatality rate – why should we be willing to submit to ongoing biometric disease surveillance, especially if these systems are linked individual blockchain health passports? I do not see how such a loss of civil liberties could be justified if those fatality rates hold.
Here is a post from a Washington anti-Common Core group:
University of Washington (aka Bill Gates) wants to listen to you cough at home. Gee…maybe Alexa can help with that, too. “A team from the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering is developing an app that will allow health organizations to monitor coughs from self-quarantined COVID-19 patients at home. Right now, the researchers need to train the app to recognize coughing sounds, so they are asking for participants who can complete a quick 15-minute survey to collect coughs and other vocalizations.”
This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS as oil prices continue to decline, especially at this time due to COVID-19. I can explain in one word PETRODOLLAR. (Means an EXTREME DEVALUATION of the DOLLAR).
Not sure if this is something malicious or merely what the article title says, but I believe that there is more to the story.
Based on my concerns some months ago of groups like IBM putting the food supply on blockchain being used to track all the food supply and also crack down on black markets that might try and send people food around globalist rationing (which might be put in place, in part, in the name of “climate change” legislation.) I’d also noticed that the climate change pushers had it in for meat and wished to reduce meat consumption.
Well, this could be an opportunity for all of that. They could put it all on the blockchain in the name of stopping the spread of the virus and also start limiting food supply (like they’re already doing in some NE states with the seed bans at Walmart). They can also start limiting the food supply later due to the “climate change” stuff as well, and this coronavirus hype will give them a big opportunity to do it all.
Another concern of mine is consolidation of food markets. While we might have a lot of farmers, if we only have, say, three to four major meat markets, it’s quite easy for the government to turn them into cronies that will ration the supply as part of their globalist “inclusive capitalism” scheme as part of Agenda 21/2030 and the SDGs.
The farmers have already been under attack by the Farm Bill and also Trump’s trade war. (Which for a while I’d wondered if it was DELIBERATE to help the globalists and not really about China.)
I mentioned the above to a friend of mine and they said that another friend of mine had seen some stuff that would back up my fears. I went to their page and found this:
Oklahoma Beef Supply – Ranchers in Oklahoma and several states have been working to get the regulation of beef out of the hands of global corporate packers. The ranchers around our state who do the hard work to provide quality beef are being shut out of the process, while being paid less and less. Foreign meat is being brought to the USA and labeled USDA. This MUST Stop!
And someone else said in reply to their post:
this evil globalist entity which includes powerful radical environmental groups such as the World Wildlife Fund have been working for a decade to destroy us. They have been very clear who they will target and begin to control – cattle producers and fishermen are on their list of groups who they pointed out needed to clean up their “SUSTAINABLE “ practices. That term is what was used as a Trojan horse to destroy our food producers- get sustainable according to their standards or you won’t get to market your product: beef, fish, milk. In the beef industry they did this through the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef cartel groups (they have arms within the US- USRSB, Canada- CRSB and other counties which includes the only four protein packers we can market to. They use this tidy monopoly as an iron fist to force our following of their financially unattainable regulations- do it ( with an outside third party audit verifying you followed their rules) or you don’t sell your product … cattle in our instance. Covid 19 just shed a light on what many of us have tried to tell our leaders Congressmen and Senators. It took empty shelves to get people’s attention. The door to this corruption was held open by our own Ag associations using our funds (checkoff dollars were used to partner with WWF and advance the GRSB) to do it. We need prayers lots of them.
Farmers are destroying their own crops after the coronavirus ravaged the food market — and say USDA failed to help them get it to hungry Americans in time
Mayor GT Bynum has selected a Task Force to guide Tulsa’s transition into the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Are any of these members NOT beholden to George Kaiser? He’s one of our local billionaires who has perfected the strategy of stacking Boards and executing hostile takeovers. Case in point: the University of Tulsa. Several members of this task force are directly tied to Kaiser’s banking and private equity interests.
Former Mayor Kathy Taylor is also on the list. She is the founder of ImpactTulsa, a member of the StriveTogether network that reforms public and private education systems in order to establish a P20 pipeline to the workforce. They collect massive amounts of student and teacher data, which is shared with a national network of partners and investors. Representative Monroe Nichols, a protégé of Taylor, sponsored the Oklahoma Pay for Success Act of 2019. This type of financing encourages ubiquitous data collection and human behavior futures markets. Blue Meridian Partners is a venture philanthropy group in which Kaiser, Bloomberg, and Steve Ballmer (Microsoft) are partners. It is an Impact Tulsa funder.
Have you noticed the 5G infrastructure installations across town? That will support Bloomberg’s What Works Cities / Cities of Service initiative here. Tulsa is becoming a SMART city, which means that everyone’s data will be collected everywhere. That creates infinite possibilities for private impact investors to profit of any number of measurable “impacts” through Pay for Success contracts. The data collected for PFS contract evaluation may be shared with AI and ed-tech developers, marketing firms, and insurance agencies.
This barely scratches the surface of the conflicts of interest that are reflected among the members of this task force. When I consider how these interests have pilliaged Tulsa’s educational institutions, I cannot be optimistic about their plan for Tulsa’s future. Tulsa is being used as a Beta City – George Kaiser’s phrase. Everything is going exactly according to plan.
Tulsa Regional Chamber announced the creation of the Mayor’s Economic Recovery Advisory Committee on Monday.
The committee will help guide Tulsa’s economic recovery “while also identifying long-term opportunities for growth” as Tulsa responds to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“As we manage a public health crisis using guidance from independent local public health experts, so too will we rely upon guidance from some of the best minds in Tulsa’s private sector to recover from this economic crisis,” said Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum. “I am very grateful for these Tulsans stepping up with their time and expertise across a broad array of industries. Working together, we will work to restore Tulsa’s economy while protecting public health.”

Attached is a link to George Kaiser’s 2007 Speech on Early Childhood Education. Read it and let it sink in. And then consider if Tulsa will be better off with him and his pep squad leading us into FourthRevolution digital slavery.
Just so you know – the Rockefeller Foundation launched the Global Impact Investment Network back in 2008. The used that wave of dispossession to create the poverty for this hostile coup of humanity. They aim to own us – under the pretense of disease surveillance. Resist.
I’m sure right now a lot of people who are homeschooling children who go to public school are finding out quickly how much useless information government schools try to force onto children.
Public schools don’t teach they manufacture people who think they are smart but they are not because memorizing and repeating information isn’t intelligence.
Schools also manufacture people who are convinced they are dumb but they are not. They likely just aren’t meant for conforming and repeating information.
And some replies to this post:
My Down syndrome nephew had a packet on climate change and Greta Thurnburg today.. I was appalled.
Did you see Harvard attack homeschool? They’re trying to get a ban on homeschool going:(
This was me. I had A.D.D really bad likely from vaccine injury. I didn’t do well in school and I was made to feel stupid about it from teachers and classmates. I grew up thinking I was stupid until about 5 years ago when I started learning the truth if the world we live in.
Most people I know who HS BECAUSE of fake beer virus…wonder why their kid is finished “schooling” in about 40 mins…what the “school” is requiring them to do every day. I am sure they miss their free babysitter and will probably return the kids to brick and mortar schools instead of enjoying time with the kids they brought into this world. So sad. 😭
Not sending my 16 year old back. Sick, that I sent my kids to these industries in the first place because I was so brainwashed. We looked into homeschooling 20 years ago, but we never did. Hanging my head in shame now. I knew better, but I didn’t do better.
I am realizing how much propaganda is slipped I to their busywork. Disgusting!
Schools were created to churn out workers and soldiers only, as evidenced by the then implementation of a Prussian program that was at the time over 100 years old. So proven to meet that agenda then and now.
Here is a post from a friend of mine in Utah:
Did you know this about the World Health Organization (WHO)?
Somehow, I didn’t realize WHO was an offshoot of the United Nations, but knowing that, is my version of “You had me at hello.” Add the connections to International Planned Parenthood, and you’ve got a sobering, agenda-driven triangle.
The WHO knows that digital curriculum can be curated for states and schools that take federal funds. They have been working with the UN to enforce a universal online curriculum on schools. See:
India’s largest software services firm Tata Consultancy Services [TCS] will launch Israel’s first fully digital bank in what is being seen as a transformative initiative that can impact the business model of other sectors as well.
“We’re looking at a commodity-price collapse and a collapse in global trade unlike anything we’ve seen since the 1930s”, said Ken Rogoff, the former chief economist of the IMF, now at Harvard University. An avalanche of government-debt crises is sure to follow, he said, and “the system just can’t handle this many defaults and restructurings at the same time”.
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
Great Start Promoted by StarTribune
StarTribune Editorial Board pushes Great Start for All Minnesota Children Act, but not in so many words. It’s for the economy, you know? Babies pushed into public schools, years of home visits and 50 other initiatives all wrapped up in a 32-page bill. It’s all free! In case you didn’t realize, Great Start is one of the largest bills affecting early childhood ever! Such a nice totalitarian dream, right?
Close Gaps by 5 –> Parent Aware –> Art Rolnick –> Human Capital Bonds –> Pay for Success. It’s not about the kids, you can be sure.
Governor Walz has already passed some of this bill by Executive Order, offering “essential” workers free childcare. Much is already passed in the MN House and portions have been passed in the Senate. If you haven’t already, please keep the pressure on your legislators to stop pushing state-control over babies and toddlers and families.
Parents, Ed Activists, Concerned taxpayers if America. If you missed the U.S. Dept of Education COVID-19 K-12 Briefing call this afternoon, I’ve got the video (includes the call), as well as resources about information US Ed didn’t tell you about the billions of $ being used by them via the CARES Act. https://www.facebook.com/CommonCoreDiva/videos/541915416755961/
My Resources from my blog that expose what DC didn’t share in the phone call: First, those waivers to for testing relief will only increase the amount of testing when it resumes. Second, grants and waivers in the name of the federal gov’t gives them MORE control, NOT the States. The money will have to be paid back, as well. Find all this and more: https://www.commoncorediva.com/…/04/13/marching-into-mayhem/
Second: Ed Savings Accts and COVID-19 are a nasty mix. It is through the companies holding the ‘savings’ which will profit the most off all the DATA tracking.
Fourth: We’ve got until 5/4/2020 to speak out to STOP DeVos and U.S. Ed from using COVID-19 as an excuse to increase the data tracking for Higher Education. This data track will reach back to preK.
The pharmaceutical company Eli Lily and the Lumina Foundation, student debt, are power brokers based in Indianapolis. The two also stand to benefit from blockchain badging / tokens – these will document health AND education “credentials.” It is important to understand the degree to which interoperable data is prized for use in predictive profiling and pay for success finance. The platforming of these two industries is interrelated and they should be considered jointly moving forward.
And another post from her:
Wait, so nobody told me the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services Azar, who declared Covid-19 a public health emergency on January 30, 2020 and signed-off on the liability waiver on vaccine/treatments, was former president of Eli Lily, the pharmaceutical company working with DARPA on the Covid-19 Pandemic Prevention Platform. Why does this not surprise me? https://littlesis.org/maps/5023-covid-19-vaccine-waiver
And some replies to this post:
I didn’t realize the liability was already signed off on. WeNeedAccountability
I’m disgusted, not surprised but disgusted the same. How do people not see the agenda
and if you look it provides liability immunity from ANY covid related treatment… now think about the incredibly high rate of death from those out on ventilators, all the doctors saying they aren’t helping, and Medicare paying 39k for patients put on them… and no way to sue. Scary.
just another rabbit hole that I’ve never surfaced from. I’m not okay with any of it, scary how so many were so quick to jump on the wagon and pay no attention to these facts.
I know you know this, but we are letting criminals run the show. How can anyone in their right mind be okay with this? Was just looking at this settlement list…
When Gates’s solutions make the problem worse. Congo 2018, polio outbreak from circulating vaccine-derived polioviruses (NOT the wild virus).
“The outbreak also underscores the latest complication on the bumpy road toward polio eradication. It is caused not by the wild virus hanging on by a thread in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and perhaps Nigeria, but by a rare mutant derived from the weakened live virus in the oral polio vaccine (OPV), which has regained its neurovirulence and the ability to spread. As OPV campaigns have driven the wild virus to near-extinction, these circulating vaccine-derived polioviruses (cVDPVs) have emerged as the greatest threat to polio eradication. If the outbreaks are not stopped quickly, polio scientists warn, they could spiral out of control, setting eradication efforts back years. “There is an urgency” to stopping these vaccine-derived outbreaks, says epidemiologist Nicholas Grassly of Imperial College London. “It is so much more important than controlling the wild virus.”
Above article from the American Association for the Advancement of Science. “The world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society and a leading publisher of cutting-edge research through its Science family of journals, AAAS has individual members in more than 91 countries around the globe.”
The last case of polio in the United States was caused by the vaccine in the 90’s. The father of the child worked hard to lobby Congress and have the vaccine removed from circulation. No one had bothered before him so every year in the United States there was vaccine induced polio cases.
Hmmm…kind of puts a crimp in the vaccine bond markets…
That’s Gates and Bloomberg money in there.
Imagine if they can make us sick and send drones around to track our temperatures forever. I’m so angry at how all of this is going.
Salk even regretted it and knew he was spreading it further than taking it out of the population.
Makes me wonder about that new mystery disease striking children that looks so much like polio.
Do you have a link?
This sounds really bad.”Meanwhile, the risk of explosive outbreaks around the globe is ratcheting up, because millions of children born since the switch have little or no immunity to type 2 virus.”
As many offer up vaccine as the “answer” to our Covid-19 situation, it is important people realize HHS has issued all developers of vaccines and treatment protocols for this illness a liability waiver. This means there will be very, very limited recourse available to people who experience serious effects from such measures. Also the PREP Act under which the waiver was issued does NOT require informed consent of parents to vaccinate children in school-based clinics. This was litigated in New York. Do your research to understand whose interests are being protected. Public health should prioritize public safety.
I think it needs looking over by a lawyer. . . Whats willful misconduct. You cant stop ppl from lining up for this but they cant make it mandatory AND waiver liability. Groups are needing to be formed to give support to ppl wanting to say no . Even if its just a place to take accounts of thier experience and explore legal options to decline these measures. We have to be able to peacesfully decline and we need to explain how its reasonable to the ppl who believe its putting them in danger
Many lawyers have looked at this. The most famous is Robert Kennedy. This fight has been the focus of the anti-V movement for over a decade. Please join us. Liability was removed from the childhood schedule in 1986, but mandates have never been successfully challenged. Adverse reactions are recorded in a database called VAERS, but less than 1% of them are reported. A family of an injured child can try for a payment in a special, tax-payer funded court called NVICP, but it is almost impossible to win a judgement. In many states children can give consent in a clinic or pediatrician’s office as well as a school, and the doctor/nurse does not need to inform the parent. If you wish to join the fight, follow Robert Kennedy, We Are Josh Coleman, Marcella Piper Terry, Ginger Taylor and the NVIC on FB.

thanks for sharing . Pleased to meet you . I will look up these groups and take note . . As the coming scheme is not just in the states but europe and world wide we will need to collaberate
Take a look at that page. It seems that harm from vaccines related to public emergencies are handled differently – only death or serious injury and any payout is from a separate fund that congress has to actually put money into – in fact there may be no funding for successful suits.
Sorry, I was thinking that the public emergency would end long before a shot would be mandated. I don’t think the emergency is going to last much longer, and certainly not the number of years it will take to produce such a pharmaceutical for mass distribution.
I went out to garden and thought some more about this. I think this new legislation sounds very much like what is in place now. The govt will probably set up a fund with a point-of-use tax paid by the tax payer, and set such impossible standards to prove injury that no one will be able to collect. I don’t think that we will get a covid vacseen though. Even Hotez and Offit are saying it is a mistake. I think what will happen is that they will mandate the flu shot to reduce hospital admissions from the flu to free up beds for covid victims. If a covid shot is mandated, the injuries will come the next time the recipient is exposed to a version of a corona virus which will not be within the compensation window (by design.) Just thoughts, feel free to shoot them down.
I’m hoping for effective therapeutics. I really doubt a vaccine is possible.
there’s a lot of evidence that homeopathy is having great results all over the world..
the liability waiver is for everything, including therapeutics.
It just seems that public safety should be the priority and if you read their own words the deck is really stacked against anyone who ends up having any bad reaction. The law is not on the side of the people on this, unfortunately.
How long have they been jabbing people with a flu vaccine that in a “tremendous” year is 45% effective? Who in their right mind will be running out for a covid v@x
This if true is very worrying… a second video in a series investigating bill and Melinda gates foundation funding in UK.
Despite multiple vaccines being researched, my hunch is the DARPA hydrogel (P3) as mentioned in NPR that grows 5G compatibility inside you via injected instructions. They are probably conducting vaccine trials in minority communities right now. America will probably adopt China-like use of QR codes for secure digital passports. The 50 States are in a disaster emergency so you can’t decline, and your body will be a sender/receiver antennas for geo-location as people might ditch smart phones. The approach will have surprisingly less force and involve more incremental encroachment. 97% of children are vaccinated anyway so nobody cares if it is RNA/DNA or human/mice derivatives. Early adopters will choose passports out of economics, fly airplanes, and other restriction-less pursuits, while hold-outs lose more privileges until they can’t even afford a lawyer. I’d imagine protesters are being counted to determine precise rollbacks of draconian measures and an incremental reward system (pizza for vaccines) to entice compliance endemic of a social credit system. Families who are most obedient and loyal will procreate the next generation of children as a reward. Repeat a lie for months and people will believe it and act like the vaccine is the carrot on stick string. Using the mypass system, drones + fixed cameras can target individuals, initiate and dispatch police, and catch someone in a minute flat so there is no need to rove the streets looking with human eyes when AI does that work for you. Figure you probably got the point, but the vaccine replaces the function of the wearable so you can’t turn off or dig out your tracker because it is not a microchip, but a gel that integrates on your body. The wearable tech helps hand-hold us to our new future. The cardboard signs won’t be sufficient to protest what is coming.
You paint a very vivid picture.
Do you have a link to the DARPA vaccine? Is this the kind of sensor? Doesn’t seem like it.
I have not heard about the 5G angled tied to the vaccine.
“PALCA: So they can fish those out of people’s plasma, their blood. And then they’re going to – that usually – that takes some time, but they’re trying to shorten that period to three weeks. And then they’re trying to develop a drug that can be used based on these antibodies. Now, typically, when you make a drug like that, you make them in these big bioreactors, but they’re going to try something different. They’re going to try and just take the genetic material that codes for these antibodies and put that into people and let the people’s own cells make the antibody. So the people become the bioreactors, so to speak.”
If I know the elites, they’ll tie it to Real ID and start requiring it to drive and other things and thus sneak Real ID into ID2020 through the backdoor. We really need to get rid of the PATRIOT Act and the other leftover stuff, including Real ID, from the 9/11 government expansion (yes, that means we’ll have to get rid of DHS too. I think we should get rid fo the NSA as well.)
No more driving – that’s legacy. We need autonomous cars to get the AI training data to stay ahead of China, evidently – argh.
That’ll be even WORSE. I’ve seen the show bait car where they could remotely stop a car that car theives took from some distance away. That means that they could stop the cars of anyone not complying with thier nonsense even remotely. And that was on a show I saw between 2007-2010, without all the AI and stuff that is more modern. Imagine how bad it would be today!
And yet another post from her:
Our bodies = their training data. China is winning the race to capture biometrics from its population – the US wants in. We lose.
Traffic safety is being used as a front to install surveillance cameras everywhere. There is a reason early smart city pilots are running through the US Department of Transportation.
I was just talking about that earlier today. The whole concept is to keep everyone comfortably at home consuming online and giving up more digital data for the service providers. Digital enslavement.
We are the product, the batteries. People don’t realize what is in the pipeline.
today I was thinking that we really are enterging into the state of the Matrix. The movie. We will one day be placed in pods that mine our minds for an economy that feeds an AI machine. We really are not that far removed from it.
I know. This past week feels like pushing up against transhumanism in a big way. There was a huge focus in education around behavior in recent years – resilience – tracking it – grit. It feels like they knew this would push people to the breaking point. To hold onto one’s mental health, anchoring in the real world is starting to feel really challenging. We are in a war.
yes we are. We truly are entering or marching towards a transhumistic world. Have I ever sent you my links to academic papers on transhumanism? The studies, the research, the philosophy, the issues that confound it? I would love to enlighten you more on it. By the way, that link above about the haptic glove, that is the coolest thing ever! As an electronics and software engineer, it’s fascinating and excites me, BUT, I still see it as a big threat. This means we are soon going to be in an age when robots replace humans and war machines become autonomous with no compassion or feelings. It means an age when police will be robots patrolling the streets with senses that are hundreds of times better than our own, thus listening on all our conversations. As much as I LOVE technology, I am also AFRAID of what it WILL become. We have crossed a line that we will not be going back to. Technology ALWAYS moves forward, but we as a people have to give it context that is helpful and beneficial to us, not technology that enslaves us and oppresses us. This is not good.
Barbers, tatoo artists, and many personal service providers that intersect with the 6ft social distancing rule are being targeted. For our grand children growing up, it would be natural for them to enter an empty building, be identified, and sit at a chair with a digitized personal attendent, that you customize voice, hair, etc. to one’s personal liking before receiving a a chosen haircut. These attendants will converse about your day, ask about your children, sports, and generally resume conversations from prior discussion points so that you think you are talking and gossipping with a live person. Social distancing from illness requires us to surround ourselves with robots and virtual attendants who shall replace inefficent human connections. Just an excuse to get out of the house will be welcomed, compassionate interaction for shut-ins who live alone and crave connection.
Ok folks. Seriously, they are coming after your brain wave data – this 5G network has got to be stopped. Check out the links on the Emotiv EEG website. Combine this with “pay for success” mental health data dashboards… https://www.emotiv.com/epoc-x/

Oh me…trying to get a link to map a connection between 5G, satellite, and cyber-physical fusion and up comes a paper from 2018 from iDirect. Ok what is iDirect? Well..
Signals intelligence – all of it. “About Us Founded in 2007, iDirect Government, LLC (iDirectGov), a wholly owned subsidiary of ST Engineering iDirect, Inc., offers IP communications technology to enable constant connectivity for voice, video and data applications in diverse and challenging environments.

Ok – new word for the glossary – cyber-physical fusion. Coming online in the 2020s with major ramp up planned for 2030 with intro of 6G. Projection in NTT DOCOMO (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Company) White Paper January 2020.
“What the heck is cyber-physical fusion? According to DoCoMo, it’s the transmission and processing of large amounts of information between cyberspace and physical space with no delay. For humans, that means thoughts and actions are transmitted in real-time through wearable devices, or as we say in the Sci-Fi world, mind control. If this sounds pretty far-fetched to you, you are not alone. I studied the white paper with a heavy level of cynicism. Having lived through the transition from analog cellular to 2G, 3G, 4G and now 5G, I’ve become pretty accustomed to hearing the hype about new networking technologies that never quite live up to the promises.”
Soooo…who knew the UN also had its hand in space matters? Do we have to move from a discussion of the “globalists” to the “universalists?” It has also become very clear to me they are leveraging space R&D (satellites, GPS, etc.) to control living systems on earth. Moving the data on dashboards from space. I guess space is a good place for AI to live maybe? SkyNet?
For all of you out there demanding single-payer and looking at socialized medicine as a model – see this from the NHS. If you’re not yet grasping what is happening with blockchain health records and value-based payments and IoT mHealth that will be tied to human capital investing (bio-metric surveillance), you’re in for a NASTY shock when you get what you thought you wanted. “Commission what you want, but it has to meet our standards on cyber security, data access and interoperability. Otherwise we won’t approve the spending.”
Be advised, Microsoft, Palantir, Google, and AWS using all of our data to predict the next “crisis” will not ultimately advance the interests of humanity or life on this planet. Privacy = Blockchain #SocialPhysics
“Already this crisis has reinforced the value of quick, secure collaboration. After the emergency is over, we hope to be able to use what we have learned from our technology partners to get better within the Government at data collection, aggregation and analysis in a way that protects the privacy of our citizens. Having relevant data to hand will make our systems more resilient and better able to respond immediately to the next crisis – or even predict it before it happens.”
I have this sickening feeling Blockchain, Brexit, GCHQ, Government Digital Innovation Around AI Healthcare (NHS), and Ronald Cohen’s ties to Israel are all in the mix of the Covid-19 shock doctrine 4IR program.
With textbook merger, Pearson would hold 80% of the market. “problematic” merger of the No. 2 and No. 3 largest textbook companies, Cengage and McGraw-Hill and Pearson.
“The combination of high concentration, a history of skyrocketing textbook prices that far outpace inflation, and a captive market makes this anticompetitive merger one that risks further aggravating the affordability of education,” Senator Richard Blumenthal and five colleagues said in a letter dated Friday. The senators, who also include Cory Booker, Richard Durbin, Dianne Feinstein, Mazie Hirono and Tina Smith, noted that Pearson (PSON.L) and the two merging companies together have more than 80% of the market, that prices rose more than three times faster than inflation between 2002 and 2012 and that students cannot bargain-hunt but must buy the book ordered by their professors.”
Oh look. Gates funded, CommonCore promoting FordhamInstitute and ProjectUnicorn team up to use Covid as an opportunity to push online ed for kids with disabilities.

Kindergarten Book 5,4,3,2,1, Here We Come You’ll Never Find Me tee-tee! This is a book the CA Department of Education was recommending in the CA Healthy Framework last year, until we EXPOSED it and they “Removed” them.
What is the definition of “Removed” to the CA Department of Education mean? That they removed the book title from the framework, however, they are not banning books or even saying that they are bad books. The books will still be available for teachers as resources on line.
Hmmm . . . Are they books really removed?!

Research SB145 from Scott Weiner and it will all start to make sense. Proposed language: This bill would exempt from mandatory registration under the act a person convicted of certain offenses involving minors if the person is not more than 10 years older than the minor and if that offense is the only one requiring the person to register.
I did not read all your comments here & maybe this was already said — I apologize if I am a repeat. I wanted to let you know most of our libraries have this same agenda where they set aside a day of the week for Safe Time. (not right now but when the library is open.) I think every parent needs to know this… check out your local library & see if your teen area has this type of agenda also. It is just as controversial… like here — in my area, at one point, they were saying no parents allowed. The San Diego County library is 12-18 years. 18 is an adult. Library is your tax dollar too.
Oh Commit. What are you up to now? And don’t tell me it’s about equity and internet access. DISD and RISD just paid millions to Crown Castle for that. No. There’s something else going on with the cozy relationship between Commit and the Federal Reserve. The founder of Commit and the president of the Dallas Fed have been friends for 30 years.
According to Inside Philanthropy, “Robert Kaplan is co-chair of Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation (DRK), an outfit founded by venture capitalists William Draper III. and Robin Richards Donohoe in 2002. In 2010, the pair partnered with Kaplan and a group of fourteen others to scale up operations. DRK is a venture philanthropy outfit that is focused on early-stage organizations with the potential to create effective, scalable solutions to pressing social problems in the U.S. and abroad.”
“Kaplan has also supported Social Finance, a “nonprofit dedicated to mobilizing capital to drive social progress,” and Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC), which encourages “inner-city revitalization.”
According to their 990 in 2014, Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation gave $250,000 and another $50,000 to StriveTogether (Commit’s parent org) Cincinnati, OH.
You realize that a lot of kids attend charter schools. I raise the question of how many of their parents have broadband internet subscription and access. I hope that being anti charter school doesn’t mean you don’t care if those kids have access to the internet. I’m sure that’s far from the truth 🤷🏾♂️
It’s actually a larger question of the origins of ed-tech as a militarized venture that will advance predatory human capital data markets.
The federal reserve branches are all facilitating the growth of human capital bond markets. Target is pre-k and workforce training “skills” for planned regional economies.
The data is harvested via devices for the impact markets, so closing the digital divide is a precondition. It won’t all be chrome books and tablets on 5G though. Also wearable tech and surveillance play tables.
no one is advocating for the denial of internet access for kids. The point I’m making is the usual posturing of education reformsters giving the illusion of concern while they usher in some new agenda. They will let no crisis go to waste. Districts are paying for hotspots and devices. Kids are still not getting access to quality teaching. Distance learning is an oxymoron. I am anti-charter in that they siphon funds into private hands and skirt transparency (see IDEA or Harmony). I’m not anti-charter school kids though.
But remember, the end game of learning ecosystems is that there are no more bricks and mortar schools, at all. Everyone “learns” and is profiled on a device. Littles at the YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, church halls, and older kids at home or roaming around. Low income families will still have to shell out hundreds of dollars a year (even subsidized) for surveillance learning to their local broadband provider. Paying for your own personalized Cointelpro. And the Feds and Commit’s hands are all over that, because data is the new oil. People won’t realize their families have been put into digital incarceration until the door swings shut, and then it will be too late.
here’s a view of the office https://youtu.be/ff2shv4u8hY They are building massive longitudinal databases on our kids in order to use machine learning and predictive analytics to predict future behavior. “As a result of this comprehensive approach, The Commit Partnership is now able to run highly relevant models against its data sets. The solution provided by AKA includes both machine learning and predictive analytics.”
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Can we say EMINENT DOMAIN ABUSE, anyone? The City of Tulsa has a reputation for this lately. Save the Pearl is one prominent controversy, but it’s by no means the only one. North Tulsa and the Kendall-Whittier area have faced it too, and I vaguely remember hearing something about strange dealings concerning Crosbie Heights property values. TIF zones – which have very long lease terms and often take advantage of federal redevelopment programs – are another means by which property ownership is made practically impossible for individusls and small businesses.
In Tulsa, we have a “deep city” problem. We have layers and layers of administrative and philanthropic leasing, granting, sub-leasing, and selling that make it difficult for the public to determine who owns what and what ordinances are in effect. This is an indication that our oligarchs are moving full-speed ahead with Agenda 21/2030. Consider the Gathering Place, Peoria-Mohawk Park, the downtown and North Tulsa sites where Race Massacre excavations have been (or should have been) conducted. Consider the finagling of UCAT land and property held by Tulsa Public Schools. Land Trusts are also relevant.
How does UN Agenda 21 infiltrate America’s cities and towns – especially small to midsized cities like Tulsa? Billionaires, hedge funds, Regional Chambers of Commerce, and Mayors. The law review article, “Bottom-Up International Lawmaking” by Interim President of the University of Tulsa, Janet Levit, does a fine job of explaining this process by which quasi-governmental organizations usurp Constitutional rights. The Tulsa Star has several excellent articles about how this process has exploited the North Tulsa community again and again and again.
Wasn’t our City Council just recently hearing comments on city ordinances concerning backyard chickens? 😐
Here is a post from a page called Stand Up For Children ATX, Defendiendo Los Niños ATX: Would you expect your child to receive condoms at a CAREER FAIR? Several AISD middle schools brought their students to a City of Austin youth career fair yesterday, where they were given these. 8th graders reported feeling very uncomfortable when offered the condoms repeatedly, and were distracted from the purpose of exploring CAREERS.
And another post from this page: Recently, an Austin parent shared with us, “I send my daughter to Headwaters School and they bring in Planned Parenthood in Kindergarten to teach consent.” Imagine that…a parent choosing what to teach their child when it comes to human sexuality and selecting a school that matches their values. 🤔
And yet another post from this page:
We have been told that in the training sessions for AISD’s sex ed, teachers are being told they are required by law to teach it. Would you help get the word out that sex ed is not mandatory in Texas, and they are not required by law to teach it. Your school campus website may list the teachers with their email addresses. If they do, will you send them an email telling them they are not required by law to teach sex ed along with a copy of District Policy DGA(LOCAL) which says they cannot be forced to teach anything that may “result in any political or social pressure being placed on stu- dents, parents, or staff.”
Comprehensive Sex Education advocates, The Texas Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, the North Texas Alliance to Reduce Unintended Pregnancy in Teens (Ntarupt), and Healthy Futures of Texas, are collaborating on advocacy to influence the Health Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards Review process.
Their recommended standards include advocating contraception, promoting inclusivity, and normalizing affirmative consent. Their recommendations are based on the National Sexuality Education Standards written by abortion industry and LGBT+ advocacy groups.
It is medically inaccurate to list the anus as part of the Reproductive Anatomy. This excerpt is from Big Decisions taught all over the state of Texas.
Well, if the Federal Reserve is touting the importance of “reputation scores” for the gig economy, what does that mean for surveillance play table sales?
Leave it to the kids. ❤️❤️❤️ “Children (in Wuhan) were presumably glad to be off school – until, that is, an app called DingTalk was introduced. Students are meant to sign in and join their class for online lessons; teachers use the app to set homework. Somehow the little brats worked out that if enough users gave the app a one-star review it would get booted off the App Store. Tens of thousands of reviews flooded in, and DingTalk’s rating plummeted overnight from 4.9 to 1.4.”
Could it be the ed-tech industry is behind the pandemic? Jack Ma (Alibaba)? “In Wuhan, China, where the novel coronavirus outbreak began, schools are closed, so kids have had to use an Alibaba-owned corporate app called DingTalk to attend classes remotely. (In January, DingTalk got a slew of new education features.) “
I sincerely believe that this is on purpose. How relaxed higher up politicians are about this, as well interactions between themselves and the general public, also makes me consider that there might be a vaccine that isn’t available to the public 🙃

it could boomerang- after forced into online education situation and realizing how much it sucks could in effect slow any future trajectory to sell people on its merits as a “reform” solution
I think that’s possible.
The thing is it was NEVER about the quality of the student or staff experience. It’s only about data markets. The one way it could turn out ok is if some people take this to heart to create new responsive models. For Penn, Harvard, Stanford this is pushing their business model for education. Now everyone chasing the golden credential is getting a taste of the medicine their education and business schools have been pushing on everyone for decades. Still, it sucks for students and families who sacrifice to pay the fees. They are caught in the crossfire.

Larry Fink’s Aladdin is really good at “risk analytics.” BlackRock, one of the largest asset holders in the world, is a major partner in Ronald Cohen’s Impact Management Project that is tasked with funneling capital into UN Sustainable Development Goal aligned ventures. (From 2017)
Once preventative-health human capital impact investing markets intersect with surveillance, social engineering, and synthetic biology what’s to stop that from veering into eugenics? Anything?
Don’t mind us over here, we’re just engineering your media feed and maybe a bunch of your cells, too.
Well the UN Conference on the Status of Women and all the related events were cancelled, but I still prepared my talk. Will blog it soon, but sharing it here as well.

Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
Take a look at the Sexualitree. This is a graphic being included in some CSE curricula currently taught in MA schools. According to the handout, the Sexualitree is a way for students to explore and discuss how they experience sexuality in different ways.
Students are instructed to discuss 45+ items related to how they experience sexuality or what their personal beliefs are on issues related to sexuality. Some of them include: abortion, fantasy, fetish, gender, masturbation, oral sex, pornography, sex toys, sexual orientation, skin hunger and more. Are these topics that you want included in your child’s sex education class? 😳‼️❓
I found this definition for skin hunger online: “a deep desire for physical contact with another person. It might be the longing for a hug, or the need for connection that can’t be met with words, texts or even video chat.”
Every human longs for connection with others, to be loved and known. Are we teaching our kids that connection equals giving yourself away sexually over and over again to multiple partners? How is that safe or healthy for them? Having multiple sex partners only increases their likelihood of getting a harmful STI or causing them unnecessary emotional and mental pain.
At the top of the tree, students are instructed to fill in the numbers of the various items related to sexuality that apply to their intimate relationships, namely the people they are “dating or having sex with”. PEOPLE? PLURAL? 😳‼️❓
CSE sends the message to kids that is it completely normal to have multiple sex partners and grossly sexualizes them by teaching that things like fantasy, fetish, and pornography are completely normal and legitimate ways to explore their sexuality. CSE sets our kids up for victimization and unhealthy behaviors and relationships. STOP CSE IN MA PUBLIC SCHOOLS NOW ‼️🔥‼️🔥‼️
Here is a post from a New York anti-testing group:
The principal of my sons school handed him our refusal letter this morning stating they are not accepting them. He will still not be taking the tests. I am writing this so people are aware this is happening. We have been opting out for years & I do understand my rights & the correct procedures. this is not about regents exams!
And some replies to this post:
that is almost verbatim the answer I got yesterday when I suggested my daughter shouldn’t take the test. She’s in 3rd grade but we moved to NY from Iowa and she is doing a mental 180 to try to barely keep her head above water here. She went from previously being an 80s and 90s level student to averaging 60s. Im concerned the tests will cause her to totally shut down.
it’s hard on kids. They lose two months of educational time just preparing for these tests! Our district tries to scare the crap out of the kids to get them into testing. Just remember you have a right to say no!!! It will not effect your child’s education or grades. We’ve been opting out for the last 5 yrs
did you get the letter from the Principal? They refused the opt out letters last year too. The kids are told they HAVE to take the test, and bullied into it. They also bribe the kids by offering them pizza parties, fun days at school, etc.
If he has to go in the testing room, nothing says he has to pick up the pencil.
my kids are grown up. My youngest was in the group that began the opt out movement and I opted him out of the test. Our district was actually very supportive.
ours is absolutely awful! We get Robo calls telling us how it’s mandatory. They offer pizza parties to those who participate etc
The problem is, our school uses scare tactics with the kids, and some believe the teachers/principal. Last year, my son was told he would no longer be allowed on the school Baseball Team if he didn’t take the test. Even though I explained to him they couldn’t do that, he was scared and took the test anyway, because Baseball is his life.
And another post from this group:
So my kids came home from school to tell me that the new principal wanted to speak to me about NOT opting my children out. He proceeded to tell them that when I opt them out, the school loses funds, there will be less teachers, and that the kids will have to start going to school on weekends and holidays. Is he allowed to say things like this?
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
MN PRIVATE CHILDCARE TO BECOME PUBLIC: PARENT AWARE COMPONENT PUSHES TAX PAYER SUBSIDIZING OF PRIVATE BUSINESS MARCH 12, 2020 (Our MACC WordPress blog is not saving or publishing articles. Please stay with us as we work through this issues. :-)) ALERT!!!
Minnesota Private Childcare to Become Public
Parent Aware Component Pushes Tax Payer Subsidizing of Private Business
Great Start & Senate Clones Do the Work of the Constitutional Amendment
Is it just possible that the Parent Aware system has been the catalyst to do away with non-public childcare and preschools in America? Remember that the Parent Aware system (QRIS) is a federally-devised program which our state adopted. The optimum 4-stars were automatically given to the public schools venues and big chain centers immediately. No questions asked. (Read HF 1, Great Start, Article 2, to see the similarities between the Great Start and the Constitutional Amendment at the bottom of the article.)
The home-based and small centers were put on the slow path, receiving immediate 2 and 3 stars and forced to wait a few years for a better rating. Can you imagine? We’ve seen the damage to the private childcare industry with our own eyes as it declined 37% from 2012 to 2017. Truth is, they’re not hiding it anymore!
Within HF 1 and SF 3606 – Sens. Nelson, Relph, Wiger – some legislators apparently desire a complete takeover the private childcare market. The legislature has announced we have a “crisis,” which is one of their own making! The legislature now moves to “fix it.” Do you see how this works? (Sen. Nelson’s SF 3606 will be heard in Sen. Abeler’s, Health & Human Resources Committee, Monday, March 16th.) Let us hope forward motion on these bills slow down!
New language clearly demonstrates that the legislature is locking down Parent Aware as a permanent fixture here in Minnesota. But why? Here you see Parent Aware is no longer a framework but a permanent, established program.
124D.142 QUALITY RATING AND IMPROVEMENT SYSTEM
Subdivision 1, System established. (a) There is established a quality rating and improvement system (QRIS) framework, known as Parent Aware, to ensure that Minnesota’s children have access to high-quality early learning and care programs in a range of settings so that they are fully ready for kindergarten by 2020. Creation of a PUBLIC SCHOOL will be increasingly the ONLY OPTION available to parents and kids in the early learning and care services.
The legislature moves to “INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PUBLICLY FUNDED AND REGULATED EARLY LEARNING AND CARE SERVICES IN BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MARKET PROGRAMS.” This is a takeover of the private market.
Taxpayers, this is you!! You are going to now fund (increasingly) all of the private childcare market as well as the public!
If the private childcare market is transformed into public childcare, can we assume that K-12 might not be too far away? In the end, EDUCATION BECOMES ALL PUBLIC! In the end, EDUCATION IS WHOLLY OWNED BY THE GOVERNMENT!
I. Do you remember that the Constitutional Amendment embedded a fundamental right to make all education high-quality public education?
What else would become permanent? Direct statements from the federal Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge (2011) grant. Article 2, Subd. 2 (2), Line 3.19, pg 3.
(2) a framework shall be based on the Minnesota quality rating system rating tool and a common set of child outcome and program standards and informed by evalution results; This “common set of child outcomes and program standards” refers to the Common Core Standards for birth to 5.
II. Do you remember that the Constitutional Amendment embedded the “achievement standards” which are the Common Core Standards? Are you connecting dots?
What else?
If a childcare business voluntarily chooses to participate in Parent Aware, their families can access CCAP and Early Learning Scholarship monies. But if you’re not in Parent Aware, nope! Parent Aware is just that important.
Under the guise of a “high-quality” rating system, Parent Aware is being used to embed the Common Core Standards into our Minnesota Early Learning Laws and increasingly transform all private childcare to public. What effect will this have on homeschoolers?
(4) voluntary participation so that if a program or provider chooses to participate, the program or provider will be rated and may receive public funding associated with the rating. The state shall develop a plan to link future early learning and care state funding to the framework in a manner that complies with federal requirements; and
Line 3.25 and 3.26 includes some language they are striking re: our state’s federal compliance.
At what point must all childcare small businesses have a 3 or 4 star-rating for families to receive grant money? 2022! It was supposed to be this year. That day is coming!
EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY
Subdivision 4 (2) beginning July 1, 2020 2022 have a three-or-four-star rating in the quality rating and improvement system. And?
Tracking! Article 2, Subd 2 (5), Line 3.27, pg. 3
(3) (5) tracking progress toward statewide access to high-quality early learning and care programs, progress toward the number of low-income children whose parents can access quality programs, and progress toward increasing the number of children who are fully prepared to enter kindergarten. What are they tracking? The increase in the number of low-income families enrolling their children into Parent Aware programs AND the increase of all families in Parent Aware programs.
The legislature wants to track increases in Parent Aware -enrolled programs which evidently will all be public shortly.
III. Do you remember that the Constitutional Amendment requires that all schools must offer a “high-quality” public school education? What if a child or parent purports their education experience to be less than “high-quality”? The schools and quite possibly the teachers will be sued!
House File 1 and Senate File 3606 (Great Start) are very dangerous bills that remove private childcare increasingly replacing with public education. Additionally, this section seeks to embed Common Core Standards into the Birth to 5 realm, track the increase of families enrolling in Parent Aware childcare
Whether taking the accelerated route by adopting a Constitutional Amendment or taking the near-accelerated route with Great Start, some Minnesota legislators are making it clear, “We seek to remove educational options and We’re coming for your children!”
Here is a post from the California anti-radical sex ed group:
California Schools have started to place Planned Parenthood Clinics starting with 50 in Los Angeles. Santa Ana School District just approved 57 wellness clinics on campus.
We need to get Planned Parenthood out of our schools and away from our kids.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
I’m feeling like this collapse is going to push so many people onto digital benefits / digital payments / digital identity / credit scoring. It feels really orchestrated and it makes me so angry.
I feel very deeply this is not a “natural” disaster. It is a bio-warfare “Katrina” in the making and the technocrats have been preparing for this for quite some time. It is meant to crash the economy and cause fear and instability so they can implement their broader program at a global scale.
I am trying to educate people and stop biometric public benefit payment systems. But it’s hard getting the message to scale, because most people don’t have any idea what is happening.
^^^ “Health – Support countries achieve good health and well-being for all, within the context of the 2030 Agenda, focusing on key emerging global health threats that require stronger multistakeholder partnership and action.”

Here is a post from a friend of mine:
This is actually happening in Minnesota – dramatic limits on individuals’ ability to own a single-family home. Property rights are being curtailed across the country. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Land Management is amassing significant holdings, often via pass-through by the Nature Conservancy. Sound like Agenda 21/3030 much? Whatever it is, it benefits the 1% and further erodes the rights and the political power of the 99%.
The Tulsa Regional Chamber has a Transportation Plan that looks eerily similar to the Agenda 21/2030 call for light rail to connect districts in megaregions. And all vehicles must have real-time gis tracking devices by 2045. As the city has been looking closely at housing strategies, it’s worth considering the possibility that a bill like the one in Minnesota might be introduced in Oklahoma as well.
My sense of this is that these “sustainable development” reforms have very little to do with protecting the environment. Their proponents are the opposite of tree-huggers. Rather, these reforms are about social control and stack and pack policies that subject everything to the invisible hand of the technocratic surveillance state.
Well, well, well…Bloomberg-funded health program at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore (home to many key players in impact investing – Annie E Casey, Catholic Relief Services among them) playing out global bio-warfare scenarios in 2018. Lots of video content here, including very slick “fake news” programs to go along with it. Super creepy. One of them demands nationalizing the health system with controls and rations. How quickly the scenario flips once tied to “value based payments,” blockchain healthcare records, wearable tech, and pay for success finance. I guess we’re just going to have to sit back for the ride and see where this is headed. Some people have an idea where they want it to go..
What? You didn’t realize the Bloomberg folks might have their own single-payer model in mind? One that runs on necro-capitalism, hedging people’s live outcomes data via IoT tracking and pay for success? Well, it’s UN SDG 3 folks. And Bloomberg is ALL IN.
I don’t think many people know his ties to the UN on “climate change” and the WHO. Make is clear why WHO has taken NO action to investigate health risk of 5G
Just a friendly reminder as many are shifting to online education – the ed-tech sector emerged from and maintains close ties to the US military industrial complex. Which doesn’t mean there aren’t cool apps and features. It does, however, mean educators should recognize that the virtual landscape within you and your students are operating is a militarized one and subject to digital surveillance, feeding data into the predictive analytics systems… Now back to Zoom, Canvas, Edmodo, etc.
from the article. In a recent paper of his titled “Massive Predicted Effects of 5G,” (Dec. 17, 2019) 69 Pall states that “given the high pulsation level for 5G radiation, even short exposures may well produce severe biological effects,” not to mention the power densities of up to 30 times higher than previous systems of 1G to 4G and with penetration being enhanced via the magnetic component. He is predicting that with the full-fledged turning on of 5G (versus just its trial phase, where there is little communication yet happening with the 5G), that we will be seeing (1) decreased human reproduction, (2) lowered collective brain function, (3) very early-onset Alzheimer’s, (4) increased autism and ADHD, (5) deterioration of the human gene pool, and (6) massive increases in cardiac arrests. While following the rollout of 5G, he has tracked numerous signs of its biological effects. For example, he has outlined increases in neuropsychiatric effects, cardiac effects, and electromagnetic hypersensitivity, taken from Swiss online articles, 70 71 as what we are already starting to see with the advent of this technology: • Increases in insomnia, tinnitus, headaches, inability to concentrate, and fatigue. • Increases in electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). • Increases in cardiac arrhythmias. He reports that while these effects had been reported before with occupational exposure studies and smart meter studies, “the effects appear to be much more severe following [the rollout of] 5G” with “even more severe apparent [yet to be published] 5G neuropsychiatric effects [appearing] in Southern California,” with their own recent massive rollout of 5G.

So, is the pandemic going to provide cover for the death knell of end of year standardized testing as we move to “anytime, anywhere” online learning and constant data aggregation / profiling including behavioral data? Hmmmm….
From a friend…..”Some states, districts are making an ask for the stimulus package to include major immediate expansion of E-Rate funding for mobile hotspots to provide distance learning options for families without access.”
Google will be hosting the platform to decide if we get tested.
On the federal website, Google is creating and hosting the platform that will collect our personal and medical data to determine if we need screening for virus. It will then direct us to a parking lot at Walgreens, Walmart, Target or CVS if we qualify via the Google algorithm.
Seeing all of the tech / impact investor money being poured into bio-engineering and nano-tech research really doesn’t make me feel any safer. Read Stephenson’s “The Diamond Age” for a preview.

“SOCIAL JUSTICE” Counseling for ALL K-12 Students in Oklahoma Bill
HB 2980 did not get on the floor for a vote…. but it shows what is being pushed by the State Department of Education for all students in K-12 grade in all schools through Counseling. The bill requires Counselors to integrate “Social Justice” into their programs. (Click on picture of bill excerpt.)
The bill originally also required that “Common Core Language” be used in Counseling for K-12 but that wording was reportedly removed after State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister decided it should be changed to OAS – Oklahoma Academic Standards.
Well…. we can’t be surprised about that. Changing names of programs when they come up against opposition has moved this top-down state control of K-12 agenda along very well so far. These efforts that fail temporarily will come back in another bill and in fact can already be covered under the K-12 Mental Health Standards bills.
HB 3540 – “Maria’s Law”- Requires Mental Health Standards to be created by the Dept. of Mental Health & State Department of Education.
SB 1253 – Requires pre-K-12 grades Mental health training; social and emotional health training; teachers will be required to to be trained to receive micro-credentials for this area.
Mental Health should NOT be defined, tested, trained and labeled by the State for ALL students! There is a better way to help students in need and to improve the safety and discipline in schools!

Now, tell me this isn’t creepy! If AI can predict what books a researcher will request, just imagine what other ways AI will be predicting and controlling our lives. EndangeredLibraries BuyBooksNow
“Artificial intelligence, to take one example, could pave the way for predictive interlibrary loans. Imagine a library predicting ahead of time when a particular resource will be needed. This revolutionary idea depends on big data analysis of trends over time as to which resources are requested most, by whom, and when. With these metrics, a library could initiate sharing requests or acquisitions even before patrons know they need the resources.”
This crisis is EXACTLY the opportunity that the technocrats have been hoping for. Ruin education, healthcare, and brick-and-mortar businesses. Plunge what’s left of the middle class into the task-rabbit gig economy, and set up the conditions for lifelong-re-tooling for Pay for Success deals. Rationing (Perhaps beginning with bath tissue?? How appropriate!) will set the stage for token economies and use of the “nudge.” And, of course, BLOCKCHAIN DIGITAL SLAVERY. Maybe social credit scoring will begin by ranking each person according to coronaviRISK factors? Lots of ugly possibilities here.
This crisis is a symptom of a much deeper problem which is, at its core, the outbreaking of the libido dominandi and its ethos of contempt and necromancy. The practical reconfigurations of our social, political, educational, and cultural institutions that follow from this crisis will be based on that underlying ethos of contempt and necromancy. As a consequence, these institutions will usher in the decay that T.S. Eliot so powerfully evoked in The Wasteland.
If this sounds far-fetched… well, on one hand it does to me as well. It’s absolutely shocking to me to think that anyone would wish to re-engineer human existence with no serious concern for those who would be affected by it and with no regard for the moral and ontological limits that oblige us. But that’s exactly the reason why studies in the liberal arts, humanities, and the natural sciences (genuine science, not this STEM sham) are so important for a healthy society. History is chock-full of examples of the technocratic libido dominandi: from the Tower of Babel to the Thirty’s tyrannical regime in Athens, to Nero’s brutal persecutions, to the French Revolution, to the Holocaust, to the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. I could never, ever imagine how anyone could build gas chambers to murder people – innocent people (though I think categories like innocence or guilt are completely out of place in the context of an atrocity such as a gas chamber). But it did happen, and similar travesties have happened throughout human history. Each time, the individuals who warned of these were treated as conspiratorial hotheads, delusional spooksters, and simplistic fools. Eric Voegelin, who was the subject of my PhD dissertation, was one of those voices calling out in the wilderness before the dark days of the Third Reich. Here’s a link to an article I wrote on his very brief essay, “On Classical Studies.” Little did I know then that this article was a portent of things to come in my own struggle.
This is the consulting firm that was hired by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education in order to develop a strategy on the Future of Higher Education. This doesn’t look good for Oklahoma’s public universities. Keep an eye on this as the University of Oklahoma presents its new strategic plan.
By Daniel R. Stoller and Sara Merken Mar 13, 2020 • Federal student privacy law has emergency exceptions • Schools should follow best practices with data-sharing Schools that share novel coronavirus information about their students must do so carefully to comply with federal education privacy law, attorneys said. Federally-funded schools can share personal information from education records without consent under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act in limited circumstances, such as to protect health and safety, attorneys said. But they should document their sharing and limit it to appropriate parties. “Community health and safety takes priority over personal privacy in emergency situations, and this is one,” said Paul Lannon, a partner who co-chairs Holland & Knight LLP’s education team. Education institutions around the country have canceled classes or shifted to online instruction amid the coronavirus spread. Some schools question what student information they can share with public officials or others seeking to limit the spread, attorneys said. Schools are generally barred from disclosing personal information from education records without permission. But during emergencies they can share it under an exception to protect the health and safety of other students, teachers, and community members. Schools also can announce closures or other precautions without identifying individuals, which would not require consent, attorneys said. Public health officials haven’t started asking for the information in part because students are self-reporting outside of FERPA, attorneys said. “Formal data-sharing requests will come later,” said Paul Lannon, a partner who co-chairs Holland & Knight LLP’s education team. The Department of Education issued guidance Thursday on how schools can protect student privacy as they think about disclosing personal information to public health officials, students, and parents. The agency underscored that schools can share information under FERPA when public health officials declare a public health emergency. Law enforcement, public health officials, medical staff and parents are among those who can get information from student records under the FERPA exception, according to the guidance. “It’s not a blanket authorization,” but schools’ “hands are not tied by FERPA in responding to the coronavirus,” said Alexander Bilus, who advises higher education clients on cybersecurity and data privacy at Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr LLP. ‘Little Window’ Education institutions should document how they use student records in emergencies, train staff on how to handle information requests, and limit the amount of data shared, said Amelia Vance, director of youth and education privacy at the Future of Privacy Forum. Schools should share only what is necessary, and limit the number of third parties they give it to, attorneys said. “In the current state, sometimes concerns about privacy get pushed to the background,” Bilus said. “That would be an unfortunate effect of what’s going on.” Past outbreaks, such as meningitis, have helped the University of Wisconsin-Madison “make sure we’re well prepared to handle this situation,” said John Lucas, the school’s assistant vice chancellor of communications. The university “will share information with public health authorities as appropriate under” the emergency exemption but “will continue to abide by FERPA and ensure that our communications to the campus community do not violate students’ privacy,” Lucas said. Lucas said he isn’t aware that the university has received any health-data requests. Schools that don’t yet have plans still have “a little window” to prepare for coronavirus student privacy issues, said Kirk Nahra, co-chair of Wilmer Hale’s privacy and cybersecurity practice.

MACC is going to follow this SF 3606 to the very end! PLEASE HELP! Hearing 3:00pm in the Senate. This bill will remove parent’s freedom to decide on childcare, early preschool and homeschool options. Birth to 4. It affects all public and non-public options. Everything will be run by the state. Government options only and common core curriculum and testing for littles. Please call or write the senators linked into this post. By working together we positively effected the suspension of the Constitutional Amendment! This SF 3606 does the same as the amendment. (Talking points and call numbers/emails are linked.)
How did I miss Soros has a new network to transform higher education? President of Bard is the Chacellor. ASU (Michael Crow) also on board. From this January.
The health studies conducted in animals revealed that millimeter waves which are used in 5G system, caused change in the body, manifested in structural alteration, suppression of all functions of the organism, the nervous, cardiovascular, immune, blood and other systems with the development complex symptoms. Based on evidence from studied carried out up to today by USA National Toxicology program, Italian Ramazzini study EU Reflex study and a growing number of several scientists say EMW is a “human carcinogen”.As is known from EM Theory, the millimeter waves has weak penetrating ability, and absorbed mainly by human, buildings and trees. Therefore the base stations will be installed approximately in every 10 meter. This leads us in addition to present base stations, have millions of new base stations. This will increases the electromagnetic pollution and risk of health effects at least 100 time more.In this presentation, I will discuss health effects of 5G, millimeter waves and IOT systems.

From the 2009 Homeland Security Hearings on Pandemic Influenza – see role of private sector in securing infrastructure. Also state border closings, which may now be imminent.
Security and Prosperity Partnership…begun 2005 in Waco with Bush, Fox and Martin. Partnered with US Chamber of Commerce. “DEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY BASTIAN: On the NAFTA super highway and comments people are making [inaudible], articles that are being written, books that are being written on the subject. It is not just NAFTA super highway. Are we as a federal government planning a NAFTA super highway? No. Are we creating a common currency? No. Are we subverting the Constitution of the United States? No. Have we been transparent in the process? I think the answer is absolutely yes, even though we’ve been accused of holding meetings with our Canadian and Mexican counterparts behind closed doors, private meetings. [Inaudible] from the private sector. We’ve been up to the Hill, talking to members of Congress and SAT about what it is we are doing. I don’t think there’s anything that we are doing here that is underhanded or in any way smacks of lack of transparency.”
FFS – closing with a quote by Rahm Emmanual. ““You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” (Rahm Emanuel)…foster innovation and make use of digital solutions, promote e-payment, increase automation, focus on customers, quality of facilities and high service levels to ensure long-term oriented competitive, attractive and safe public transport.”
And some replies to this post:
Nobody is looking to kill off public transportation.
Um…yeah. “Ms. Ellis is part of a widening experiment for Uber. As the company seeks new growth, it has teamed up with cities and transit agencies in the United States, Canada, Britain and Australia to provide tickets, to transport people with disabilities or sometimes to substitute for a town’s public transportation system entirely.”
So how do you read their closing statement of letting no crisis go to waste? Perhaps not “kill it,” just a hostile takeover?
Do you think there would be any way for SEPTA to implement such infrastructure changes, especially during an economic free fall, without turning to private investors? This is what the Global South has been fighting with the privatization brought by the World Bank for decades. And now here we are.
Oklahoma city is telling public trans riders to sit 3 feet apart. That’s the first step.
This does not look like a “temporary” solution. “This can be done by increasing the frequency of public transport (as in the Example of Copenhagen), by extra markers as shown in the image below or by demand control using apps. As a counter-draft to larger capacities, the city administration in Ulaan Bataar reduces bus operations by 50% to reduce travel opportunities (and thus risks for infections).”
That is a confusing text. Copenhagen increases frequency of public transport ie. more trains/buses etc to while Ulaan Bataar reduces travel opportunities?
My guess is we aren’t going to see restrictions. But what is with those dots? They look to be glowing? Were they put in as part of some long-term pandemic planning?
This video has some info about how travel affects virus spread. If the population tends to be clustered, and distant from each other, then travel serves to increase the spread.
You know all those awful Lime bikes and scooters littering our cities that seemed so useless?
“Beijing plans to experiment with a “subway by appointment” system to prevent crowding at entrance of subway stations. Users can use apps getting appointments to enter two of the busiest subway stations in Beijing during peak times. In works via a QR code on user’s phones that is valid for a half-hour time slot to enter the station.” Imagine the data generated from this.
Not too hard to imagine some people might not be able to get the QR code ticket. I’m sure there’s a Black Mirror episode about that.
And 99.9% of people will be thrilled to participate and have no problem with tracking.
I highly recommend Cory Doctorow’s novella “Unauthorized Bread.” I suspect people aren’t realizing that QR codes are IoT.
If it isn’t UBER plan, it isn’t transportation? ALL MONEY goes to the top. Isn’t that the game? Meanwhile, people still think socialism is the evil, as they use models for socialism for the rich, austerity hunger games for everyone else. 😦 And the thought of how this can work with surveillance economic behavior nudges is chilling. We moved to authoritarianism so much already, I especially remember the shift right after 911, as they tapped into people’s fears…the next move really does feel like potential totalitarianism. BUT….there will be more people seeing the Shock and Awe, so, …I always try and reserve space for hope. Meanwhile, I’m thinking with all the shut down, how many are going to be more vulnerable? I think we need to open our minds to sharing our homes, while also not just assuming I’ll have SS and a pension to keep it. I got a basement for instance. I like my social distancing…but before this is over, someone may need it? And I’m looking at my garage and wondering how it could be cheaply converted 😦
The scheduling recommended here will lead to the appification of transit access. With decreased revenue coming in there is no way transit systems will be able to fund the increased number of buses / subway trips that will be needed to address the restrictions on how many people can ride. The perfect P3 opportunity! All based on data analytics. The QR model will probably be to create the baselines for the “new normal” of ridership.

So how did the head of corporate philanthropy for UPS (Annie E. Casey Foundation) end up with an invitation to participate in the Gates-funded pandemic table-top game last fall?
MAYORS and BLOOMBERG = disaster surveillance global common core confucius gmo gig-economy capitalism.
It’s called “Bottom-Up International Lawmaking.” The process works through mayors because they are ambitious middle-managers who need the help of elites to move onto the national scene. Our Mayor, G.T. Bynum, is a paradigmatic example of a petty technocrat who likes to rub elbows with social impact investors – human capital futures speculators.
They’ve been practicing for this and setting it up for a long time! That’s why they’ve been pushing all this resilience, grit, mental health, and trauma propaganda. And the destruction of our schools is part and parcel of the effort to introduce a massive transformation of society. People of common sense, trust your gut here – this is fishy!
Lots of important folks, mayors, etc., one week ago, crowded in a room in DC to hear Bloomberg’s Corona Virus strategies. Bloomberg was recently Global Envoy to the WHO. The very next day WHO declared Covid 19 a pandemic. When geopolitics and finance intersect with public health you can be sure it’s poor folks who lose out
The day the WHO declared the pandemic, the White House hosted dozens of NLC attendees to discuss the virus with Pence, even though Pence has been exposed. What is wrong with this picture folks?
Re Pence exposure: “Fabio Wajngarten, a top communications aide to President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, tested positive days after accompanying him to Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort and posing for a photo with the president and Vice President Mike Pence. In the photo, which he posted on social media, Mr. Wajngarten is standing shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Trump, who is clutching a brown “Make Brazil Great Again” baseball cap.”
You know its fascinating and awful to see how these education and health privatization elements are being woven together. I guess they probably have always been, but it’s really getting much more obvious now.
I can totally see them doing phone surveys about the impact of school closures in addition to churches, etc.
2,000 mayors gather last week at the National League of Cities conference and have a Corona Virus briefing about a local response plan funded by Michael Bloomberg? Things are not adding up people. Not at all. If it was so dangerous, why did they hold that conference? Why was it not cancelled?
Scientists has been asking for the WHO to look into 5G for YEARS and they turned a blind eye. Bloomberg was global envoy to the WHO. Bloomberg is funding the “local response.” 5G suppresses immune systems. Many of these communities are 5G testbeds – Wuhan, Milan, Bergamo, Sweden, Spain. We are getting it here – all over Kensington, Frankford. I saw it today. No answers. This is their “pandemic” communications plan. It’s about containing and directing conversations. Suppressing information.
The EMF radiation that is coming with 5G suppresses immune response. It is all the small cell infrastructure that is going in now – all the new lights under the El and on posts all along the El and all the new brown boxes on all the poles. They need installs every 100 yard for it to work and it involves increased concentrations of radiation.
It’s like the first words out of the guy’s mouth were “record breaking attendance numbers.” For the conference held a month after the US Department of Health and Human Services waived vaccine liability for Covid 19 product development due to pandemic.
So the US Department of Health and Human Services declared Covid 19 a public health emergency on February 4th. This is a precondition for waiving liability for companies working on vaccines and therapies (I have heard since that this is typical). Nevertheless weeks went by – all of February without a peep. I would presume local officials were notified. 2,000 of them attended a national conference on March 9 where Bloomberg rolled out a national coordination initiative for Covid 19. So at the very least we need to be asking these officials – when did you know about this? Why was not action taken? Why the lockdown now? What is Bloomberg’s involvement in shaping public policy around this crisis? Lots and lots of questions and things that don’t add up in my mind. The people who went and smirked through the press conference – especially the guy from LA – are either 1) dumb 2) irresponsible 3) withholding information. So I’m not sure why we would have much faith in the political establishment at all at this point.
Well, it seems like we probably aren’t going to die. Just get some untested vaccine tied to a Mastercard digital ID. Also maybe radiation sickness from 5G after martial law lets up lol.
And some replies to this post:
According to the technocrat education commissioner of New Hampshire, it’s OK for small groups of five or six students to work together on their online assignments.
OMG – none of this is consistent. So many holes. The emperor has no clothes.
Well you heard in Maine… they are closing all schools but working with DHHS to get around guidelines around how many kids a daycare center can have. And Working on “stand up” daycares or some other warehouse the kids type thing. How does that make sense?
My only hope right now is that they are gonna blow their handling of this so bad that even the most skeptical of what we’ve been saying will start to open their eyes.
They are doing the same thing in New Hampshire. I guess it’s OK for small groups of students to work together and little ones don’t need to social distance🤷♀️
And totally fine for 2000 politicians to gather in DC right?
Little kids in the germ Petri dishes that are daycares? Itll be fine. So will the workers. Small groups of kids working on blended learning projects? No prob. 2000 Politicians visiting with Bloomberg? Nothing to worry about there either. BUT EVERYONE ELSE FLATTEN THE CURVE [removed taking God’s name in vain]!
Tell me more about these “stand up” daycare centers.
Oh and PS if you think you’re sick, DO NOT GO TO THE DOCTOR. We do not have enough tests.
Hang on I’ll find the link.
Governor Mills has also directed the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to pursue federal waivers that will help ensure additional child care capacity. Additionally, she has directed Maine DHHS to work with health care organizations on standing up child care centers for their workers along, along with other options to keep front-line workers protecting the public’s health and safety.
At this point I can’t even figure out why you would get a test? There isn’t a cure, right? And they say there are already a half a million cases out there so once it’s in the community then what? I guess it’s just about quarantine – but what about the 500,000 other people wandering around with it asymptomatic?
Nothing about this makes sense. Absolutely nothing.
I’m sure all of this being home online is doing amazing things to refine DARPA’s social monitoring algorithms.
NH has encouraged daycares to stay open and waived licensing requirements for daycares that want to expand
In VT and NH they are worried about children being left unattended in homes and children starving. Teams are meeting at schools and are assembling breakfast/lunch bags that will be delivered by school buses to all the bus stops for all citizens 18 and under. The bus then goes to the town green and waits for the next cluster of people to arrive before heading back to the depot. Everyone is supposed to congregate at the bus stops which kind of defeats the purpose of a quarantine. Quite a few families up here do not have internet, so online schooling is going to be interesting with the libraries and restaurants closed. Some classes might be continuing to meet despite the quarantine. (Not sure about this, my daughter said her two discussion classes were doing this, and she wanted to go.) This is the most pathetic quarantine imaginable.
Aaack – “what works” quarantine??? “Separately, Bloomberg Philanthropies, in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative, announced a new initiative to help American mayors respond to the rapidly evolving Coronavirus epidemic. Announced Tuesday at the National League of Cities 2020 Congressional City Conference in Washington, D.C., the Coronavirus Local Response Initiative will provide municipal governments with virtual technical assistance, coaching, and information urgently needed by the local leaders on the frontlines of the public health crisis.”
Here is a post from the Washington anti-radical sex ed page:
Many times parents think that having lessons on affirmative consent as a part of a CSE curriculum is a good thing. What exactly does affirmative consent mean? Saying yes to sex. Students learn ways in which they can negotiate for sex, for example;
“Can I hold your hand?” “Can I touch your knee?” “Can I kiss you?” “Can I take off your shirt?” And so on.
Here is an example of learning about affirmative consent taken from the 3Rs curriculum for 8th grade. I have cut and pasted the instructions to the top of the page in order to condense the info onto one page.
A little break from Corona to point out what OSU-Tulsa is gearing up to do. R.I.P. TU.
“My vision over the next few years is for OSU-Tulsa to become a premier, nationally recognized metropolitan and urban-serving research university.” — Dr. Pamela Fry, President, OSU-Tulsa
“OSU-Tulsa will be an anchor institution in Tulsa and play a key role in building diverse and prosperous communities,” she said.
What’s more, Fry staunchly believes OSU-Tulsa is in a strategic position to contribute to the overall OSU system.
A big-picture thinker, Fry is no stranger to leveraging her influence to improve the education system. Over her career, she has provided educational leadership at local, state and national levels, including as editor of one of the top national journals in teacher education and as one of four nationally elected representatives to the board of directors for the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education. At the community level, she served two terms as a Stillwater Public Education Foundation trustee and was honored with the 2010 SPEF Pioneer Service Award.”
Just in case you have not figured out what is happening the world is turning socialist state capitalism including our country and here we are. Corona virus only amplified and accelerated, makes certain the trend. This is what had been bugging me for the past several days …. The answer is right here in sentence below .. . Larry Kudlow said the administration may consider asking for an equity stake in corporations who want aid from taxpayers..
Attention parents: is your school using ZOOM? “Does Zoom sell Personal Data?” … “Depends what you mean by ‘sell,'” is literally the next sentence. Gulp….
“Zoom does use certain standard advertising tools which require Personal Data (think, for example, Google Ads and Google Analytics). We use these tools to help us improve your advertising experience (such as serving advertisements on our behalf across the Internet, serving personalized ads on our website, and providing analytics services). Sharing Personal Data with the third-party provider while using these tools may fall within the extremely broad definition of the “sale” of Personal Data under certain state laws because those companies might use Personal Data for their own business purposes, as well as Zoom’s purposes. In other words, even if you can make the argument that Zoom isn’t selling customers’ personal data — an argument which, to be clear, Zoom is making — the company still admits it shares some of your data with third parties and that privacy sticklers might argue that such activity counts as selling. “ Should also note that there has been a FTC complaint agaisnt Zoom filed by EPIC.
“The standard Zoom privacy policy allows data to be shared for targeted advertising,” Mr. Polonetsky wrote in an email interview. And some of the company’s standard terms are not consistent with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, “in addition to many of the 130+ state student privacy laws passed since 2014,”
The videoconferencing service is a privacy minefield.
Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
Question, If the kids are online for regular class whats happening with their data? If they’re being tracked it’s no wonder ‘no more testing’ was this easy… Anyone? Thoughts?
And some replies to this post:
yep and think about how these devices are on your private network what do you think they are gathering on your home activities ?
Absolutely true. Common Core and global Competency-Based Ed’s biggest funder Bill Gates has orchestrated the Corona “pandemic” to give progressive big tech the time to install mass data surveillance mechanisms. Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg and the World Economic Forum (all UN partners to advance Global Competency-Based online, data-guzzling curriculum/assessments) hosted a Corona Virus simulation summit last October:
In China, the UN says they are using Corona and kids online learning from home as a mechanism to put monitoring systems in place—systems that will remain in place after the “pandemic” is over:
Corona virus deaths are nowhere near “pandemic” levels. But, guess who controls the narrative? Yep. Gates and Bloomberg are two billionaires who own much of the global media outlets. Data is power. And, parents should only use online curriculum if they know what’s in the curriculum and who gets their kids’ data.
Here are a bunch of posts from Alison Hawver McDowell. Few are directly education related but all are tied to the global agenda of Agenda 21/2030 and the SDGs and its various aspects as well as tying the coronavirus into the mix:
Post 1:
World Bank in 2012 costing out a 100 year pandemic with ROI on preventative investment.
DARPA’s ElectRx program – research on electrically engineering neural activity via injectable biosensor “dust.” This is from 2015 on legal / ethical concerns regarding remote-control of life processes – change heart rate with the push of a button, etc. Important to note that Moderna, developer of vaccine technology being tested by Kaiser Permanente for Covid 19 partners with DARPA and BARDA.
So George Gao is a leading expert in public health around corona virus pandemic. He was a participant in last year’s Gates-funded Event 201 pandemic simulation. The “game” involved many international players, including many affiliated with the United Nations. I am having a hard time figuring out how the collaborative framework set up last fall has completely fallen apart just a few months later. One more thing that doesn’t quite add up.
what do you know about The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board? (includes WHO and World Bank) “The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board would be well positioned to help monitor and contribute to the efforts that governments, international organizations and businesses should take for pandemic preparedness and response.” https://apps.who.int/gpmb/board.html
2017 – same year World Bank started issuing pandemic bonds.
Interesting that Norway has such a prominent role.
This ^^^ group’s 2019 report on preparing for a pandemic is exactly what we see happening now. “Non-pharmaceutical interventions include public safety protocols, school and business closures, airline and transportation protocols, communications protocols, supply chain readiness etc., as well as coordination between the public and private sectors, national and local authorities.”
Evidently her book store also did erotica readings in the 1990s. What movie are we in? She did a gap year after leaving Hunter College High School to study Judo in Japan…
Last year the Global President of Edelman, among the world’s largest PR firms by revenue, also participated in the Gates-Funded pandemic game last October…now the firm is rolling out a Covid 19 trust barometer. Spin doctors spin….
Expertise in “structured finance solutions.” “Mr. Thiru spent more than a year on secondment to Clifford Capital, a specialist provider of structured finance solutions established with support from the Government of Singapore, to act as a catalyst for companies that have a meaningful presence in Singapore, in support of their investments or exports overseas.”
Post 8:
I’m sorry, but this is coming out of the war machine and none of this is ok. F*uk MIT
How much do you want to bet all the rich CEOs who stepped down over the past month are on their own island with NO F*CKING social distancing?
This is technocratic bioweapon used to impose a 4IR surveillance state. This should be F*CKING clear to you all right now.
This is Bloomberg and Gates and Benioff and Omidyar. This is DAVOS. This is stakeholder capitalism. This is people harvested for data. This is how they plan to enforce it. Digital ID and biometric tracking ALL THE TIME.
This is to cover the 5G radiation sickness.
“Ultimately, however, I predict that we’ll restore the ability to socialize safely by developing more sophisticated ways to identify who is a disease risk and who isn’t, and discriminating—legally—against those who are. We can see harbingers of this in the measures some countries are taking today. Israel is going to use the cell-phone location data with which its intelligence services track terrorists to trace people who’ve been in touch with known carriers of the virus. Singapore does exhaustive contact tracing and publishes detailed data on each known case, all but identifying people by name.”
Honestly, the pandemic element was never part of my overall analysis, but clearly that was an oversight on my part. I wrote this story about two years ago to try and pull together a sense of what was coming.
If you read my post about incarcerating the world – I think we will see something similar applied to people identified as “at risk” for infection / disease. Like they track people on parole on Blockchain and use the data to predictively profile. It can be used to do network mapping of social relationships. Preventative health is a big focus of Bloomberg’s too. So if we are all stuck inside I imagine some kind of wearable tech to make sure we are getting our steps in, etc. But honestly, I don’t know. That article really upset me.
I don’t trust Gates. I also think compulsory vaccines will be used to advance digital identity systems and those will be tied to subsidy / benefit payments in e-wallets. A terrible combo.
So this diagram is from the bizarre report out of Imperial College London that indicates for the indefinite future – at least 18 months or more, maybe forever, we will only be able to have school and go to work without social distancing in these tiny green slivers of time – a month or so. Then two months in seclusion. I mean who comes up with this stuff? How do they imagine we will have any economy or any shred of humanity left at that point. I don’t buy this. I simply don’t.
It seems FAR too early for them to be making such pronouncements. My god, this is the last sentence from their intro. “Last, while experience in China and now South Korea show that suppression is possible in the short term, it remains to be seen whether it is possible long-term, and whether the social and economic costs of the interventions adopted thus far can be reduced.”
They have NO idea and yet they circulate these models. Ridiculous.
The Business School of Imperial College London has a whole division working in innovative healthcare finance. There is a strong incentive to have a situation that is never resolved – always managed on the verge of crisis.
Just keep in mind this is what they are saying, really. “Last, while experience in China and now South Korea show that suppression is possible in the short term, it remains to be seen whether it is possible long-term, and whether the social and economic costs of the interventions adopted thus far can be reduced.” So they admit they don’t know how things will play out, and yet make graphs that are intended to condition people to accept a permanent police state.
Post 11:
My assessment of what is underway is a clearing of the commons, dispossession and immiseration on a vast scale, and the creation of a new basis of wealth for the Davos crowd. It is the dawning of an era of human capital finance that will compel many into working to build out the virtual world.
I feel like there must be some sort of “resilience” monitoring going on. And I keep thinking back to Duckworth’s statement about getting technology to “help” us make “good decisions” and how that is going to play out in the years to come. D*mn grit and Duckworth and Ideas42.
So it seems the Rockefeller Foundation (our buddy Judith Rodin / GIIN) and the Global Business Network were playing out the old pandemic / lock down / police state scenario back in 2010.
Important to know that as Ethiopia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ghebreyesus, current Director General of the World Health Organization and trained as a physician, played a leading role negotiating the 2015 Addis Abbaba Action Agenda. That effort, which brought in the IMF, WTO and the World Bank together with representatives of 174 UN-member countries, focused on financing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Health, including vaccinations, is UNSDG 3. The UN SDGs were passed in 2015 – the same year. All of this is tied to social impact finance, global capital flows. Remember it is a model that relies on misery and trauma. That s what fuels pay for success. What we’re seeing now is a result of “financial innovation” on steroids. Following me?
The UN Sustainable Development Goals are simply another apparatus for transnational global capital to continue dominate the world through the World Bank, IMF, and WTO. Remember “health,” including vaccination rates is UN SDG 3. From the Addis Abbaba Finance for Development Report.
As government jumps into bed with big tech to track “pandemic related” data – it behooves us to look back. How have Google and Amazon been setting up tele-medicine business models tied to AI, wearable tech, and “smart” infrastructure? Did you know there’s a “Google Health,” and it was set up in 2008? I’m sure the plans are to link that data to “Sidewalk Labs” Smart Cities eventually. Imagine public private partnerships that take over sections of a city with gate-keeping access tied to proof of health. Welcome to the future. I feel like we’re getting closer to The Circle every day. Article from 2018.
“Nineteen countries around the world are represented on the AI expert group. They are joined by representatives from the European Commission, business and labour groups and outside groups like the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center, and the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (INRIA). “
Post 17:
I feel like I’m the only person adding any Covid-19 related information into LittleSis. Seriously, what is up with that?
Ron Conway is in this article – he’s a tech angel investor and started setting up homeless tracking services with Newsom in cA in 2014.
From a WAPO article. “A task force created by tech executives, entrepreneurs and investors presented a range of ideas around disease mapping and telehealth to the White House during a private meeting Sunday. The discussions included representatives from tech giants, including Apple and Google; investors led by the New York-based firm Hangar and well-known Silicon Valley venture capitalist Ron Conway; public-health leaders from Harvard University; and smaller telehealth start-ups like Ro, two people said.”
And some replies to this post:
This is the PERFECT scenario for completely transforming the economy. I mean, anyone who dares to question the shelter in mandates is labeled as selfish and stupid by every new expert on flattening the curve. You not only have people begging for digital slavery, they themselves are silencing any alternatives.
Cultural hegemony. A global coup with barely a whimper.
I’m ok with that summary of how the pandemic economy will look, except the last part about the war machine. Not sure if beauty salons and barbers are necessary, but that’s just my opinion. Mortgage brokers, real estate agents, marketing departments, Space X, all shut. We’re going to be doing more sewing, gardening, cooking, fixing things, etc. a while.
Part 18:
Having allowed the creation of a massive global business model that profits from tracking disease, I guess we shouldn’t be all that surprised to hear those in power, people backed by such companies, predict there will only be more and more disease moving forward and we must be ever-vigilant and collect all the data, just in case – forever. This company participated in recent corporate sector talks with the White House about disease monitoring.
With the rise of tele-health, medical professionals need to get up to speed on blockchain credentialing and smart contract micro-work platforms. It’s coming. There’s a reason the state of IL targeted health credentials for its first pilot. The plan is cross border platform labor.
Do you know anything about Bowen Advisors in Boston? I tripped across the outfit in doing research on Steve Bowen, former Commissioner of Education in Maine. I was trying to figure out Steve Bowen’s “career path” and what might have influenced him so quickly in going over to the “dark side”. Anyhow, I had noted on FB that there is a Paul Bowen listed as a friend. Chased down that lead….and I discovered Bowen Advisors. Still not sure if any connection to Steve Bowen. What I do find interesting, however, is the relationship between Bowen Advisors, education, investments, blockchain…..and some very recent activity around the sale of the business in relation to all these things…going back to earlier this year, February 2020. Seems they recognized that there would be an increased market value to blockchain soon. Check it out….
Very interesting timing. Yes – Learning Machine is the key technology for credential tracking.
And this is interesting to me…..Mr. Gilder is seeing the same thing we are seeing, but clearly in a more “positive” light… Notice the timing of his coming “out of retirement”….I think it was last July….
I’m making a big map. It will probably be broken into lots of little ones later. If you have suggestions about Covid-19 related items that relate to 1) global finance 2) technology 3) UN SDGs or WHO or 4) “what works” “evidence-based” government / data analytics, drop it in the comments. Interactive version here.
And here is a post on the wall of a friend of mine:
Online education is a PRIVACY DISASTER. Impromptu TELEMEDICINE is as well.
TEACHERS, if you switch to online instruction, you’ve basically accepted your pink slip. As legislatures try to cope with the economic suicide of the Corona virus, how will education funding fare? It wasn’t sufficient BEFORE online instruction. Now that we’re proving that classrooms and schoolhouses aren’t necessary, prepare for huge budget cuts. How will that affect staff? Most importantly, how will it affect students? It won’t be long before screens and learning ecosystems ruin the teaching profession altogether. Proceed with caution!
STUDENTS and PARENTS, every interaction through Zoom and similar programs – especially the free ones! – is valuable data for predictive risk profilers. Think insurance companies, creditors, potential employers, ideological technocrats. Your digital footprint is the new oil, and Zoom is a derrick, drilled right into your mind (though the ed-tech prospectors prefer to speak of “brains” rather than minds).
This data is then used to send subtle, behavior-modifying nudges to turn you/your child into the person that’s most profitable to the technocrats. A resilient person who will be okay with being re-tooled over a lifetime.
“Distance learning” and “innovation” were the buzz words from the CDE today. Then, Newsom suspended state testing for the year. Anywhere/anytime learning is here. Continuous embedded assessments are here. It sounds like they’ll keep teachers so frazzled and distracted by “innovating” that they won’t push back. This is the same way they rolled out Common Core. Goodbye, teachers. Hello, guides-on-the-side. Cox will provide the free WiFi. We were told by our principal that the district wanted to allow students to use their own personal devices even before the virus. They’ve planned for this.
“Education is being re-imagined in real-time in North Carolina”
I always knew. This whole thing was definitely preplanned
And here is a post from this friend:
Now that everyone’s savings have tanked (for those fortunate enough to have savings!), we’ll see lots of adults re-entering higher education. Funny how colleges and universities seemed to know this was coming. Funny how I received this mailer today.
Making some smaller maps. This one is about vaccine finance and how Gates Foundation funding links vaccinations to digital identity and digital payment systems. Interactive version here.
Your home’s carbon footprint on the blockchain Butters believes that blockchain technology can be applied in many other areas as well. One of those areas is carbon emissions. Butters explains:
“Honeywell must report carbon emissions for all of our facilities, we must do those calculations manually. There is an opportunity here. But it doesn’t have to be just for corporations, it could be for your home, some basic calculations, whether it’s electric or diesel or gas. That is something we are looking into”.
I found two posts from friends of mine in reply to an article about Google and Amazon getting into the healthcare and telemedicine business:
Ha! I just got finished reading that FB also had a highly decorated doctor on their board of directors too.
Open Philanthropy (foundation of Dustin Moskovitz, early co-founder of FB) funded Event 201 pandemic game with Gates and WEF last October, too. They are working with the gov’t on social media tracking and geo-location tracking.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
😯 Is Corona virus the first of many? DigitalPromise thinks yes. “Experts believe COVID-19 will not be the last pandemic we face. School districts and policymakers need to plan now for how to respond not only to this public health event, but future ones as well.”
“On Monday evening, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to push through a vote on the USA Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2020, legislation that would reauthorize abusive government spying powers that expired yesterday, Sunday, March 15.”
They ask, “Is it normal to watch porn?” and then answer Yes. I tell people these things are being pushed on children in the public schools, and most adults turn their heads the other way. Our town, Grand Haven, MI made national news for their recent school board meetings. One lady who got up to speak said that 8 and 9 year-olds are experimenting and having sex. She then said, “Love is love.” The only way kids that young are having sex is if adults have exposed children to sex. There is not any rationalizing with so many adults over this topic.
the evil madness! Parents really don’t see it!
The mom who stood up against all of this has been and continues to be bullied and attacked by the “popular” adults, including a local priest, a college professor, and many of the public school teachers.
They are teaching 6 year olds “self-pleasure”.
And another post from this page:
Dr. Ken Williams, serving District 3 of the Orange County Board of Education, wrote this piece in the Orange County Register, July of 1995. The sex ed enthusiasts have been pushing their radical agenda for decades and none of their radical initiatives have resulted in healthier, better adjusted adults.
Working collectively as SexEd, artists Norene Leddy and Liz Slagus develop radical pedagogies that combine art, reproductive health, and participatory tools. As A Blade of Grass Fellows, SexEd created Wearing Consent, an arts-based sexual health curriculum at the in-school heath center at New York City’s Washington Irving High School Campus. Wearing Consent focused on consent as a key theme identified by students, teachers and health center staff on campus.
So Seattle / King County is a hot-spot for the pandemic. It is also home to the Gates Foundation and a test-bed for “what works” data-driven government. I put this together. Let me know if there are items to be added.
For a minute imagine those poor kids fed through the benchmark testing mill….now imagine it’s your city being measured against a pandemic readiness data dashboard. That’s what Bloomberg and Gates are after. Only the readiness part isn’t because they want to keep you healthy. It’s to make money on financial instruments like pandemic and vaccine bonds. Bloomberg has SO many cities under this thumb through 1) What Works Cities / Results For America 2) National League of Cities 3) Harvard City Initiative 4) Global Parliament of Mayors, and 5) Digital Innovation Project Europe…so the good news is we got rid of standardized tests this spring. The bad news is we all got put on pandemic dashboards.
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
Our Whole Lives, Grades 7-9 contains 15 out of 15 of the harmful elements typically found in CSE curricula or materials. The presence of even one of these elements indicates that the analyzed materials are inappropriate for children. Having several of these elements should disqualify such materials for use with children.
Program Description: This nearly 500-page manual seems to have two purposes: redefining gender and teaching tweens and young teens how to have sex. Our Whole Lives teaches that humans are sexual beings from birth. They operate under the assumption that sexual behavior is a normal part of life; therefore, children of this impressionable age need to be guided on how to do it safely. The majority of the abstinence instruction in this program encourages ‘outercourse’ as a safe alternative to intercourse. There seems to be no belief by the writers of this program that humans are capable of controlling sexual feelings and urges. As is typical in most CSE programs, Our Whole Lives also teaches about contraception and abortion, promotes sexual pleasure, normalizes anal and oral sex, and teaches children how to apply condoms using penis models. Students role play sexual scenarios (both same- and opposite-gender) and are informed of the sexual health services they can receive without parental consent. Students are taught about a spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations. Our Whole Lives boasts of being aligned to the National Sexuality Education Standards, a radical set of standards developed by Advocates for Youth and SIECUS.
Target Age Group: 12-15 years old
Planned Parenthood Connections: Planned Parenthood of New York (NY) helped support the development of the first edition. (Acknowledgments) Planned Parenthood is frequently recommended as a sexual health resource for students, and Planned Parenthood videos are shown to students.
Our Whole Lives: Sexuality Education for Grades 4-6, 2nd edition contains 13 out of 15 of the harmful elements typically found in CSE curricula or materials. The presence of even one of these elements indicates that the analyzed materials are inappropriate for children. Having several of these elements should disqualify such materials for use with children.
Program Description: Divided into ten workshops, this program utilizes the sexually explicit book It’s Perfectly Normal as a “core text,” with students assigned weekly readings from the book. While it strongly encourages parent/caregiver participation and reinforcement – including requiring parent/caregiver attendance at a program orientation meeting with their children and weekly “HomeLink” activities – it must be assumed that parents enrolling their children in this program share the values of the program: approval of youth sexual autonomy and sexual exploration, rejection of modesty, embrace of radical gender theory, and acceptance of all forms of solitary and consensual sexual behavior. It was developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association and the United Church of Christ, which are considered “progressive.”
The program heavily promotes transgender ideology, repeatedly delving into explicit discussions about gender fluidity and sexual orientation. It goes so far as to teach children that hormone-blocking medications are “safe” and beneficial for gender-confused youth. Gender-neutral names are deliberately used in stories and scenarios, and same-sex relationships are used in examples nearly as frequently as opposite-sex relationships.
It specifically teaches about pornography, which is defined as “a form of adult entertainment.” While the program includes a statement about how pornography “does not represent healthy relationships or sexual interactions,” children are encouraged to consider when they might choose to watch pornography, with no information given about its damaging effects or explicit direction to avoid it.
Information about STIs is always accompanied by assurance that STIs can be cured with medicine or that the symptoms can be easily managed. It also recommends that children “avoid unprotected sex” in order to “reduce risk,” with only one mention of abstinence being the “best protection” against STIs. However, abstinence is narrowly defined as “avoiding sexual intercourse or skin-to-skin genital contact of any kind.” Masturbation is condoned as “perfectly normal.” Other sexual behaviors, such as touching a girl’s breast, showering with someone or “masturbate[ing] with someone,” are discussed in multiple places. The overall message is that healthy sexuality amounts to doing what feels good as long as the other person consents and avoiding sexual intercourse – which children are taught includes anal, oral and vaginal intercourse – until children are “older.”
Target Age Group: Grades 4-6 (9-12 years old)
Planned Parenthood Connections: The “Circles of Sexuality” poster used throughout the program was created by Planned Parenthood partner organization Advocates for Youth. The program refers parents and students to Planned Parenthood websites. Author Kirsten DeFur is on the staff of the Center for Sex Education, which is an education-focused project of Planned Parenthood of Northern, Central and Southern New Jersey. First edition author Elizabeth Casparian volunteered and worked at Planned Parenthood and served as Board Chair for SIECUS, which has ties to Planned Parenthood. First edition author Eva S. Goldfarb was a member of the national advisory board that developed the National Sexuality Education Standards: Core Content and Skills K-12 and National Teacher Preparation Standards for Sexuality Education and co-authored a publication for Advocates for Youth.
Our Whole Lives, Grades 10-12 contains 15 out of 15 of the harmful elements typically found in CSE curricula or materials. The presence of even one of these elements indicates that the analyzed materials are inappropriate for children. Having several of these elements should disqualify such materials for use with children.
Program Description: Our Whole Lives teaches that humans are sexual beings from birth. It operates under the assumption that sexual behavior is a normal part of life at all ages; therefore, young people need to be guided on how to do it safely. This program includes detailed instruction on the sexual response cycle and how to achieve orgasm. As is typical in most CSE programs, Our Whole Lives also teaches about birth control and abortion, promotes sexual pleasure, normalizes anal and oral sex, and teaches children how to apply condoms using penis models. Students role play sexual scenarios (both same- and opposite-gender) and are informed of the sexual health services they can receive without parental consent. Students are taught about a spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations.
Target Age Group: 14-18 years old
Planned Parenthood Connections: Planned Parenthood is recommended in Our Whole Lives as an informational and family planning resource for teens. One of the authors, Elizabeth Casparian, served as the Chair of the Board of SIECUS, which has ties to Planned Parenthood. The other author, Eva Goldfarb, served as a reviewer of the SIECUS Guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education.
It really is unbelievable [name redacted]. That’s why parents and school officials need to understand how the inappropriate books being included in school libraries fit into a larger picture. There is a clear agenda to sexualize children. Planned Parenthood and their allied organizations are deliberately marketing their services to children. In order to sell abortions, STI treatments, contraceptives and now transgender hormonal therapies, they need to create customers. Especially now since more and more people are engaging the abortion issue and realizing what a great evil it is. They have to generate a revenue stream through indoctrinating and sexualizing children. PP and the LGBTQ lobby have joined forces to not only grow PP’s business, but to change the gender and sexual norms of society. These players have also gained control of the American Library Association, the teacher’s unions, and the PTA. PP is also recruiting people to run for local school boards here in MA to advance their agenda in our schools. Do you know what sex ed curriculum is being taught in Ludlow? Can you find out? If you send it to me I can tell you what I know about it.
And yet another post from this group:
Get Real, Grade 8 contains [15 out of 15] of the harmful elements typically found in CSE curricula or materials. The presence of even one of these elements indicates that the analyzed materials are inappropriate for children. Having several of these elements should disqualify such materials for use with children.
Program Description: Get Real is a middle school curriculum produced by Education, Training and Research (ETR) and Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts (PPLM). It is targeted at children in Grades 6, 7 and 8, or 11-14 year olds. Children are encouraged to think about and discuss sex and sexuality in a number of ways. Lessons include a lot of open discussion of a variety of sexual behaviors. Children are taught about condoms and, optionally, how to use them. Masturbation is encouraged through extensive discussion of the practice and frequent assurance that “it’s okay.”
While a number of activities are ostensibly designed to prompt family discussion and include parents, the very same activities encourage students to form their own values, emphasizing that those values may be different from their parents’. The teacher also provides information about “other resources” to answer their questions. Resources listed in the curriculum include Planned Parenthood and similar graphic resources.
Target Age Group: 8th grade (generally 13-14 year olds)
Planned Parenthood Connections: This curriculum refers students to Planned Parenthood as a valuable resource. The curriculum uses worksheets copyrighted by Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts (PPLM). ETR Associates, the publisher of this curriculum, has a member of Planned Parenthood Federation of America on their Board of Directors. According to an endorsement on getrealeducation.org, PPLM provides teacher training for the implementation of this curriculum.
Get Real, 7th Grade contains [14 out of 15] of the harmful elements typically found in CSE curricula or materials. The presence of even one of these elements indicates that the analyzed materials are inappropriate for children. Having several of these elements should disqualify such materials for use with children.

Planned Parenthood Connections: Get Real is produced by Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and ETR.
The CSE Harmful Elements Analysis Tool was created to help parents, school administrators, educators, and other concerned citizens assess, evaluate, and expose harmful elements within comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) curricula and materials. For more information, visit http://www.stopcse.org.
Making Proud Choices, 5th Edition contains [15 out of 15] of the harmful elements typically found in CSE curricula or materials. The presence of even one of these elements indicates that the analyzed materials are inappropriate for children. Having several of these elements should disqualify such materials for use with children.
Program Description: Making Proud Choices is essentially a how-to manual for sexual activity. It implies that many, if not most, teenagers are sexually active and teaches them how to negotiate condom use and obtain consent for sex. This program promotes acceptance of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities and even contains same sex role play scenarios for teens to act out. Making Proud Choices encourages detailed condom demonstrations using penis models and suggests ways to make condom use more pleasurable. This curriculum includes DVDs with sexual discussions among teenagers and lessons on reducing the risk of STDs, not on eliminating the risk by practicing abstinence. One video contains animated steps to condom use including animated figures acting out vaginal, anal and oral sex.
This curriculum claims to be “evidence-based.” However, the one and only study cited in the Facilitator’s Manual was done by the authors themselves, presenting an extreme conflict of interest.
Making Proud Choices is being implemented with federal grant funds in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Target Age Group: 12 – 18 years old
Planned Parenthood Connections: One of the authors, Konstance A. McCaffree, is a long-time member and former secretary of the board for the Sexuality Education and Information Council of the United States (SIECUS), which was founded in 1964 by Planned Parenthood’s medical director. ETR, the publisher of this curriculum, has a member of Planned Parenthood on their Board of Directors. Planned Parenthood is a recommended resource throughout this curriculum.
Here are some posts from this group about Common Sense Media:
Common Sense Media is good. I like their categories and the format of their reviews are informative. However, sometimes their conclusions don’t line up with my values, so I just make sure I take that into account.
Just beware of them. They are not in favor of parental rights and have authored notorious legislation in CA that goes against parents. They are also FULLY on board with the CSE agenda. And they have a Digital Citizenship curriculum that they are promoting hard core throughout the country. Take a look at their board members.
I actually started looking into them a few weeks ago and came across some concerning things. I do think they are biased for sure. Their categories for content are somewhat useful, but I don’t agree with many of their conclusions.
CSM is trying to place themselves at the forefront of communications and reviewership under the guise of advocating for children. I notice they are also the official show reviewers for Netflix.
CSM sponsored SB 18, a bill authored by Senator Pan. It’s a children’s bill of rights. When the state tells parents their kids have rights above and beyond what parents think is best or can afford, it places parents in a legal and moral predicament. One example out of many in this bill would guarantee access to high speed internet for every child in the state. Would that preempt parents from taking away a child’s cell phone or being required to pay for a service they couldn’t afford? What about kids who live out of range from such a service? Would they have to move? CSM benefits from kids having high speed internet access.
Our local junior high school has signed on with CSM’s Digital Citizenship curriculum, which all online and conveniently out of sight from parents. One of the questions in the curriculum asks students a question about what kind of gifts they would bring to a birthday party for twin children, one being a girl and the other a boy. Most kids choose the answer that said a truck for the boy and a doll for the girl. The system automatically generates responses for what they feel are incorrect answers stating that this answer is sexist because the boy may want the doll and the girls may want the truck. The best answer, which wasn’t an option, was that you’d ask the parents of the twins ahead of time what kinds of things their children enjoy. The online curriculum also asks a ton of personal questions about how the child uses their time online, where are they when they are online, what time of day, what types of sites they go to online, etc. CSM claims it’s anonymous but when you have to log into a school computer to use the curriculum, it is not anonymous. And the information collected in those surveys are used by the company to substantiate and promote their company and the “need” for legislation like SB 18.
A friend of mine shared the following research with me: Following UNESCO’s playbook, the Obama administration helped create online curriculum curating systems—formed around national curriculum standards that states can’t escape— in order to control the online curriculum content that children and teachers use. The idea is that they can get children accessing gender-bending, online curriculum in order that they can build an army of CSE/LGBTQ advocates out of our children. So, while we parents are fighting the “whack-a-moles” that pop up in health curriculum, LGBTQ advocates are 10 steps ahead of us, creating an advocacy army out of our children by inserting gender theory into MOST ONLINE CURRICULUM and pushing most children into online learning. To illustrate the above, I want to tell you about the power of Common Sense Media/Education and how they are using Digital Citizenship to infuse CSE into most subjects: I talk about Common Sense Media/Education in my video presentation. They brought Utah, and most states, our Digital Teaching and Learning plan which became state law, SB222. Common Sense Media is a media ratings platform that provides media ratings for parents to judge the appropriateness of media content on platforms like: Comcast, DirectTV and Time Warner. You may have heard of them or seen their logo. Their logo has become synonymous with “this is a trusted ratings system.” With the help of the Obama administration, Common Sense Media/Education and the Gates Foundation used Common Core national standards to move this ratings system into schools (as well as similar ratings systems under different names). You can read a 2015 story in the New York Times about Common Sense Media/Education called “Turning a Children’s Ratings System into an Advocacy Army.” The writer of that headline probably did not realize just how accurate they were, or that the Advocacy Army would be an LGBTQ army created out of our children. The New York Times piece, without explicitly stating it, tells us that Common Sense Media/Education, the Obama administration and the FCC were following UNESCO’s Broadband Plan to push broadband into schools very quickly, and get all children learning online–just like in Africa where CSE is spreading like wildfire. Most religious organizations don’t realize that Common Sense Media/Education has built a reputation as moral gatekeepers, while they have simultaneously been building a suite of online curriculum products to support UNESCO and CSE. So, teachers are being trained to select online curriculum—without vetting it— by looking at a ratings system, and they will choose what is rated the best for student outcome scores on assessments (which are now behavioral assessments). Teachers don’t want to lose their jobs, so that’s what they will use. They are accountable to state and federal laws, after all, for “student success!” A private, Christian school administrator recently told me that they can no longer hire the top graduates from certain universities because they only know how to pull from online, pre-packaged curriculum, and don’t know how to think or teach. One of Common Sense Media/Education’s curricula that I recently came across is for Digital Citizenship. Digital Citizenship curriculum is probably the main driver of gender theory and CSE into our schools because of how UNESCO designed it—to infuse into all subjects through national curriculum standards. The Obama Foundation issued a call for digital citizenship and asks youth: “What people or organizations do you think exemplify digital citizenship when it comes to questions of embracing difference—of thought, identity, or any other variable that you value?” Common Sense Media/Education is pushing this narrative into schools through online curriculum and video games. Here is a picture of an online Avatar world that children are incentivized to enter through Common Sense Media/Education’s Digital Citizenship curriculum for 6-8 graders. Notice the thought control. Notice that the first picture is of a 45 year old man who plays the game as a young, sexy, female Avatar. You can see a slide-show of other players in this avatar world called “SecretBuilders” at:
Beware Parents ! Just another example of the abortion industry infiltrating the school system with their CSE programs, pushing their pro-abortion agenda on young impressionable children!
When it explains how a surgical abortion is performed, the video shows a tiny red cartoon blob being “gently suctioned” out of a uterus. It also claims abortions are “very safe.” Yikes. Cartoons for pregnant kids
it sends the message that it’s just a blob or clump of cells and not a little baby. This is so upsetting.
Unbelievable that these agencies have been given free access to our children
What they fail to point out is that the little friendly talking blob in this cartoon scenario dies in the end.
I looked up Common Sense Media to see if they were directly advocating for sex ed. While I haven’t, yet, found anything advocating for the California Healthy Youth Act, I did find that they promoted a sex ed site here:
In the “Resources” section, one of the listed resources hints that it might possibly be conservative-leaning (the very first one in fact) but the rest are Left-leaning.
(And after a further check, on the Amazon review of the possibly pro-life/conservative resource, which was a book, all the one star reviews said that the book was actually pro-choice. Even someone who had said they had an abortion because they thought they would pass on a terrible medical condition said that the girls in the book seemed to just shrug off having abortions for what she called petty reasons. So there are NO pro-life/family resources on that site.)
These are some of the ones that are listed:
Advocates for Youth Athlete Ally Becoming Visible: A Reader in Gay & Lesbian History for High School & College Campus Pride Coalition for Positive Sexuality Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) Network NARAL Pro-Choice America National Abortion Federation National Network for Abortion Funds Planned Parenthood Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice SPARK The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD)
Also, at the bottom of the page is a link to Answer at Rutgers.
Anyway, if there was ANY doubt left about them being bad, the “good” review (4/5) they gave to the evil Amaze should remove all doubts as to their loyalties: https://www.commonsense.org/education/website/amaze
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Today, someone sent me an article about Dr. Larry Brilliant stating that we needed to follow his advice on COVID-19. Alison, I looked him up and he’s on the Board of Salesforce. Used to work at a chief at Google and is the President of Skoll’s Foundation Fund (Jeff Skoll is eBay’s former President). It looks like those profiting off climate crisis are the same folks profiting off of COVID-19 crisis. Skoll’s fund was essentially a pilot program to lay the groundwork needed to turn citizens into informants that send them citizens’ behavioral data. In other words, they are using “crisis” to turn neighbor against neighbor
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
So I remember our kid being in school a few years back and they implemented SLOs – student learning objectives (lead up to CBE). It was crap, and we opted them out. But the idea was that students were supposed to participate in some skill test with no real instruction beforehand. Then later in the year they would “do” it again to show “growth.” So logic dictated that the teachers/students would want to be really crappy at it the first time around in order to make it more likely they would show “improvement.” Since “pandemic preparedness” seems to be being set up as a “what works” “pay for success” market sector, how likely is it that what we’re seeing now follows the same pattern? Come up with a really crappy baseline so next time around we’ll show “improvement” and investors will get a nice slice of profit from the horror-show cost offset (health and economic impacts) we’re in the process of creating?Hmmmm….
And another post from her:
When Idemia came up with the concept of “augmented identity” for digital driver’s licenses it makes you wonder if they set up their system to include vaccination records. Now that would be interesting to know. I wonder how many of my friends are living in a state that’s on track to get digital driver’s licenses in the next year? https://www.idemia.com/we-stand-augmented-identity
And yet another post from her:
Ok, so the neoliberal Dems are looking to slip provisions into the Covid-19 stimulus bill that would set up digital e-wallets for the poor? Haven’t I been warning about this for the past two years? Well, here we are.
Here is a post that was shared by a friend of mine:
Broward County public schools hand out thousands of laptops to students. 90,000 to be exact, which leads me to my next questions, how long does it take to order 90,000 laptops, when did they order these laptops to make them available yesterday?
Here is a post from this friend of mine:
See this. This is what ed-tech prospectors have been waiting for – fear and social distancing, a bankrupt economy, and credulous people who believe that online platforms can substitute for real life. DontTakeTheBait DataMiningSurveillanceCapitalism
And here is the post that she quoted:
School closure? Create virtual field trips for students. This online micro-course will provide resources on how to create virtual field trips for PK-8 learners.

Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
High School FLASH, 3rd Edition contains [15 out of 15] of the harmful elements typically found in CSE curricula or materials. The presence of even one of these elements indicates that the analyzed materials are inappropriate for children. Having several of these elements should disqualify such materials for use with children.
Program Description: High School FLASH is a sexuality curriculum designed for high school youth ages 14-18. This curriculum teaches youth where they can go to find protection or have an abortion and frequently refers students to Planned Parenthood resources. It normalizes anal and oral sex and gives detailed instruction on consenting to sexual acts. FLASH includes same-gender role play scenarios and heavily emphasizes transgender ideology, going so far as to avoid using the word ‘woman’ and to instead use the term ‘person with a uterus and ovaries’. This curriculum is being used in California, Illinois, Texas and Washington.
Target Age Group: Grades 9-12
Planned Parenthood Connections: The advisory board of these standards includes members from Planned Parenthood Federation of America, SIECUS, Advocates for Youth, and GLSEN. This curriculum recommends Planned Parenthood as a resource for professional development for teachers.
Middle School FLASH contains [15 out of 15] of the harmful elements typically found in CSE curricula or materials. The presence of even one of these elements indicates that the analyzed materials are inappropriate for children. Having several of these elements should disqualify such materials for use with children.
Program Description: FLASH is a sexuality curriculum that is created and owned by the Family Planning Program of Public Health – Seattle & King County, designed to be implemented in middle schools. This 2nd edition contains seven lessons that can be implemented in less than two weeks in a classroom setting.
Middle School FLASH teaches youth where they can go to find birth control, condoms, or have an abortion and frequently refers students to Planned Parenthood resources. It normalizes anal and oral sex and heavily emphasizes transgender ideology. It also has children ages 11-14 learn the detailed steps of condom use.
Target Age Group: Grades 6-8 (Ages 11-14)
Planned Parenthood Connections: Planned Parenthood is specifically recommended as a resource for birth control and abortion. The advisory board of these standards includes members from Planned Parenthood Federation of America, SIECUS, Advocates for Youth, and GLSEN.
FLASH for Grades 4-6 contains [8 out of 15] of the harmful elements typically found in CSE curricula or materials. The presence of even one of these elements indicates that the analyzed materials are inappropriate for children. Having several of these elements should disqualify such materials for use with children.
Program Description: Family Life and Sexual Health (FLASH) for Grades 4, 5 and 6 is the earliest curriculum in the FLASH series. This program is a precursor to the explicit content found in Middle School and High School FLASH. Intended for children as young as 9 years old, this curriculum uses group discussions and activities to break down modesty and normalize sexual vocabulary and actions such as masturbation.
Target Age Group: 9-12 years old (Grades 4-6)
Planned Parenthood Connections: Planned Parenthood of Western Washington is credited with contributing material used in this curriculum.
Get Real: Comprehensive Sex Education That Works contains [14 out of 15] of the harmful elements typically found in CSE curricula or materials. The presence of even one of these elements indicates that the analyzed materials are inappropriate for children. Having several of these elements should disqualify such materials for use with children.
Program Description: Get Real is a middle school curriculum produced by Education, Training and Research (ETR) and Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts (PPLM). It is targeted at children in Grades 6, 7 and 8, or 11-14 year olds. Children are encouraged to think about and discuss sex and sexuality in a number of ways. Lessons include a lot of open discussion of a variety of sexual behaviors. Children are taught about condoms and, optionally, how to use them. Masturbation is encouraged through extensive discussion of the practice and frequent assurance that “it’s okay.”
While a number of activities are ostensibly designed to prompt family discussion and include parents, the very same activities encourage students to form their own values, emphasizing that those values may be different from their parents’. The teacher also provides information about “other resources” to answer their questions. Resources listed in the curriculum include Planned Parenthood and similar graphic resources.
Target Age Group: This is the rubric for the sixth grade curriculum (11-12 year olds).
Planned Parenthood Connections: This curriculum is produced by Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and ETR.
Digital currency has been in the works since 2008 – RIPPLE has held meetings at the White House as well with 50 central banks – RIPPLE has representatives who are working with the Fed. Reserve, IMF and Better Than Cash… as I have told all of you many times –
Saw this post on the journal of a furry group page:
I went to Ace Hardware today to get an extension cord and a fruit tree picking tool for high reach.
At the check-out counter was a sign that read, “In the interest for the safety of our cashiers, we ask that you consider using debit or credit card instead of cash”.
And a reply to this from a friend of mine:
Yep! My parents got carryout over the weekend and had to.use a card, because we’re not allowing people to pay cash.

Post 1:
Imagine how much easier it will be for human capital markets if we all maintain digital currency accounts managed by the Central Banks. Gee, thanks Neoliberal Public Radio for this insight into the bigger plan. From 2018.
In order to understand what is happening with the proposed Covid-19 stimulus bill you need to look to Australia. There they are piloting blockchain disability benefits, digital driver’s licenses, social impact bonds, blockchain bonds issued by the World Bank (bond i), new central bank payment systems, and Pay ID a “data rich” payments platform.
We ARE being systematically impoverished and set up to become investable commodities, global portfolio items. Please, please stop consuming the media narrative people and wake up to what is really happening. This is a global game and we are all pawns.
The PAY FOR SUCCESS Lab at the University of Virginia has a partnership with the City of Tulsa. Here’s an overview of it from 2018.
People who have been financially pummeled in this Corona disaster are going to need help. Through public service programs. Pay for Success contracts OUTSOURCE these public services to UNACCOUNTABLE ORGANIZATIONS that benefit from the data harvest and have their own values and priorities that they promote through the service delivery process.
The new COVID 19 STIMULUS package includes provisions for BEHAVIORAL MANAGEMENT through the MONEYBALL FOR GOVERNMENT, WHAT WORKS GOVERNMENT approach.
OF COURSE, this will hit service industry and part-time workers the hardest! How will they be able to refuse this “help” that comes with surveillance strings attached?! I wonder what the racial impact will be?!

Have you come across this bit of UN agenda. NESARA is a treaty or is it law in the US brought in by Clinton 2000. Pretty prophetic! UN in charge of all religion.
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
Welcome Big Brother to your home! The program will collect all voice, visual and movement interactions within the home including others in addition to students. MACC used to talk about these very privacy issues as far back as 7 years ago and here we are!
Here is a post from the Florida anti-iReady group:
Tell me what you know about Study Island. Is it similar to iReady? My son opts out of iReady, but this week teachers are asking kids to access Study Island through Launchpad to complete an assignment and “try it out.”
And some replies to this post:
My older two used to do SI and both hated it. This was long before I knew our rights and how much data mining was happening. We just stopped doing the assignments because they were a huge waste of time.
Hoping they are just examining all options at this point, the very beginning stages of virtual learning for OCPS, and that this will not be an ongoing assignment. We love love love this 4th grade teaching team and I expect they will come up with something better as time goes on!
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
This vid is long but it’s a good example of what’s going to happen w/ the solutions offered. New normal=⛓⚰.👇👇👇👇👇
I regret to inform you as a nation we are in serious trouble
The Fed tapped BlackRock to shepherd several debt-buying programs as the U.S. central bank works to revive the economy ..the biggest robbery of U.S taxpayer funds in history
Fox News is reporting that the price tag for the $6 trillion stimulus/bailout package may already be up to $10 trillion. At this point it really doesn’t matter how much money the Fed prints to fund this nonsense as soon the money will be practically worthless anyway
Here is a post from another friend fo mine:
On Monday, March 23, 2020, the President signed into law:
S. 893, the “Secure 5G and Beyond Act of 2020,” which requires the President to develop a strategy to: (1) ensure the security of next generation mobile telecommunications systems and infrastructure in the United States; and (2) assist allies and strategic partners in maximizing the security of next generation mobile telecommunications systems and infrastructure; and
S. 1822, the “Broadband Deployment Accuracy and Technological Availability Act or the Broadband DATA Act,” which requires the Federal Communications Commission to issue rules relating to the collection of data with respect to the availability of broadband services.
Gates is not a “humanitarian,” he’s a predatory billionaire for whom vaccines are just another tool in his “social impact investment” tool box. See these comments from Davos last year
Ok, so research into creating a vaccine for HIV has been underway for over 25 years. Still no vaccine.
The IAVI project was launched by the Rockefeller Foundation in Bellagio in 1994.
The current CEO of GAVI, Seth Berkley, launched that project.
Gates has poured tons of money into HIV research.
Gates is also a major funder of GMO research.
The first “smart” social impact bond on blockchain, HEAL Bonds (supported by GAVI), was to fund HIV research.
Last year Gates donated $100 million to the NIH (Fauci is contact) for Sickle Cell Disease that will use HIV elements as a method of therapeutic gene delivery.
Deborah Birx, on the Covid-19 task force, is a US Army Colonel who spent her whole military career doing HIV research.
HIV-like elements have been found in Covid-19.
The Birx / Army / Fauci / NIH / HIV gene therapy / GAVI connections really feel unsettling.
I don’t have any illusions about Gates at all having tracked his predations on public education for years. I don’t want to speculate on things that I do not know – but seeing how HIV is threaded through US Military-backed research, gene therapy, global finance and the billionaire class – is a whole new area for me. I know these folks are dealing in transhumanism as well. I just keep going deeper into the rabbit hole.
And yet another post from her:
Gates has weaponized public health by linking it to global finance through social / development impact bonds. Tracking”impact” is also what will enable digital surveillance of entire populations. Vaccines are tied to UN SDG 3, Health.
Oliver Sabot was a member of the 2012 Development Impact Bond (like SIBs, but for global aid) Working Group. His LinkedIn profile gives you a glimpse into how predatory financiers have targeted public health and education systems for disruption, data-mining, and profit extraction. Whether ed-tech or vaccine injections, to them it’s just fodder for data dashboards. Numbers. Impact. None of it is to benefit the public – just a big old gambling game run by the hedge fund racket. Note Sabot’s ties to ARK (Absolute Return On Kids), the largest charter operator in the UK. Education and health systems are inextricably intertwined. Take note of his expertise in product development for finance.
Sorry but here it is again!!! That color wheel is there and modified, and it also has the hexagon imbedded in it which until you pointed that out I’m not sure I would have seen. Those bright colors are very distinct and eye catching.
is that Saturn? On Saturn’s north pole, there’s a vast, seemingly permanent storm, twice the size of Earth, rotating perfectly in time with the intense radio waves that blare out from the planet’s core, and shaped like a flawless hexagon. Six points. Six lines. The sixth planet. Just what is going on?
Check this out what I’ve found. And yes, it does involve Saturn: Acts 7:42-43: Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. Amos 5:26-27 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts. Moloch, Chiun and Remphan are all names for the star god, Saturn, whose symbol is a six pointed star formed by two triangles. Saturn was the supreme god of the Chaldeans. The hexagram was brought to the Jewish people by Solomon when he turned to witchcraft and idolatry after his marriage to Pharaoh’s daughter in 922B.C. It became known as the Seal of Solomon in Egyptian magic and witchcraft. David had absolutely nothing to do with the hexagram and that star most certainly did not, in any way, represent God’s people. Solomon gave himself up to satanic worship and built altars to Ashtoreth and Moloch (Saturn). The hexagram faded from Jewish usage for 2,600 years. Then in the 1800’s, in Germany, it was adopted by Mayer Rothchild to mark his house. The six pointed star was used as the Rothchild coat of arms. It is difficult to pin down the date at which the six pointed hexagram star became known as the so-called Star of David. In fact the earliest Jewish application of the symbol outside the Rothchild banking and financial empire is 1873. That was the year that the Magen David was adopted as a Jewish device by the American Jewish Publication Society. It is not even mentioned in the rabbinic literature searches. Other than that fact, no one seems to know when or how the Occult or Satanic star, became the Star of David. What should a Christian or observant Jew have to do with this symbol, NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING. Keep the symbol out of your house. The evidence is overwhelming that it is a cursed symbol which may give demonic ground or license. http://www.moresureword.com/starof.htm
So while we are distracted with COVID19, the house is trying to sneak in bill H.R.5717 during a global pandemic which will pretty much take guns away.
This bill says 30% tax on firearms, 50% tax on ammo, federal license requirement, every semi-automatic rifle that isn’t a .22 is banned as they are described as “assault weapons”.
Thousands of 5G installs ongoing in NYC. This from early February.”Allowing wireless equipment on its streetlamps isn’t something new for New York City. It’s been allowing this for 15 years. The effort has resulted in nearly 6,000 pole installations — with 5,000 more in the pipeline — by franchisees throughout the five boroughs.”
“To give you one example, there’s reporting about 5G in places like Chicago and Las Vegas. Chicago is obviously a big city as well, but the 5G there is tiny in terms of the coverage, in terms of how many people can use it. And it’s expensive in terms of the cost of the phones. I don’t think there’s any hurdle that’s not overcomeable.”
Heads up – I was told by a very good friend ,who writes conservative articles and has connections , that our loving government is going to do the digital currency – coming soon to your community …
And another post from her:
Letter to Fed. Reserve Powell from Congressman Hill and Foster ” In the private sector , JP Morgan became the first bank to create and successfully test a digital coin representing a fiat currency. Additionally , next year , Well Fargo plans to begin piloting Wells Fargo Digital Cash which will be a cryptocurrency linked to the U.S.Dollar …. “
Here are a bunch of posts from Alison Hawver McDowell:
Post 1:
So, correct me if I’m wrong. It appears mRNA vaccines, as a product, are attractive because they can be developed quickly and are relatively inexpensive to produce. This article from a year ago mentions there have been clinical trials where the results in humans are not as good as those in animals. Are there ANY mRNA vaccines on the market now? Or would the one for Covid-19 that is being developed using the platform created by Moderna be the first? BTW Moderna calls mRNA “the software of life.” Below from March 2019.
I have a long response to this that I will try to type later tonight. Traditional Vs can’t combat HIV, SARs or corona because of an effect called ADE. mRNA Vs will launch the zombie apocalypse, if they don’t kill everyone outright. ADE should also be a problem as well. Weapon of mass destruction here.
I mean they call it the “software of life.” They are looking at us like we are Microsoft operating systems.
Douglas Noble knew it.
WHO intentionally released H1N1. I read all about it on their website at the time and was dumbfounded. They do periodic intentional releases of engineered diseases as tests. Undoubtedly ties into your research. Embarrassed it didn’t occur to me earlier.
Yup. Look up Clade X – same group 2018. Much more measured response. Even the In-Q-Tel rep.
Post 2:
In 2016, the Gates Foundation entered into an agreement (including non-exclusive licensing) with Moderna (creator of the mRNA platform being used for the Covid-19 vaccine) for up to $100 million over six years. The company describes its patented mRNA platform as “the software of life.” Shouldn’t we be thinking about this before rushing ahead? That’s not even taking into account the data tattoos and vaccination certificates Gates wants.
Seems there are lots of fans of Fauci out there in social media land. You all need to realize Fauci has maintained close ties with Bill Gates over MANY years – he was one of Gates’s Global Challenge lead advisors. The Gates Foundation gave $100 million to the NIH last year for research. Gates’s money is underwriting Moderna’s mRNA platform that is being used in trials for the Covid-19 vaccine to the tune of another $100 million. Moderna calls their patented mRNA platform the “software of life.” In addition there are NO mRNA vaccines in use yet – the ones in development are ALL still in trial phases. Stop for a minute. All of my comrades who understand what Gates has done to education, his support of GMO seeds, his foundation’s investments in for-profit prisons – do you really think in this ONE case he’s turned over a new leaf? https://littlesis.org/maps/4929-fauci-and-gates
Post 4:
I guess we’re just supposed to just go along with this timing – nothing to see here folks, just move along. The WHO, World Bank, and IMF just happened to convene a gathering on pandemic preparedness and finance in September 2019? Ok.
For “Disease X.” Ok.
All my education peeps know about “achievement gaps.” So it would appear we are being set up for “preparedness gap” pandemic monitoring next. Enormous global markets for “rushed-to-market” mRNA health products emerging right under our noses as we sit on our sofas dozing through zoom meetings and online education.
They’re not just going to profit from developing new vaccine technology platforms; the big money (the hedge fund money) will be in the “development impact bond deals” that will finance product development and implementation. This isn’t a “humanitarian” enterprise, it’s market shaping.
“The final aid package not only omitted language that would have limited drug makers’ intellectual property rights, it also left out language that had been in an earlier draft that would have allowed the federal government to take any action if it has concerns that the treatments or vaccines developed with public funds are priced too high.
“Those lobbyists deserve a medal from their pharma clients because they killed that intellectual property provision,” said Posner, who added that the omission of language allowing the government to respond to price gouging was even worse. “To allow them to have this power during a pandemic is outrageous.”
This will play into the intellectual property rights in the USMCA, too. Those rights will be decided on global standards by a cherry picked commission, not American politicians.

So this screen-grab is from a 2016 PATH slide share re projected growth in global vaccination markets. Does this not beg the question of whether or not public health protections like vaccines should even operate within global market systems? Vaccination efforts are being managed through the UN and the WHO in coordination with Gavi. This is being done to advance the interests of the World Bank and the IMF. Gavi plans to transition out of vaccine subsidies in many countries over the next decade, shifting the cost onto domestic budgets in countries that are already impacted by structural adjustment. This is about pay for success finance profit followed by coercive debt.
You don’t have to dig too far below the surface to see that threats to public health are viewed by the powerful as market opportunities. The UN is all too happy to facilitate that arrangement for the benefit of the World Bank, the IMF, Bill Gates and his lackeys.
I think one of the things to consider with mRNA is that the PFS metric will probably be number of injections delivered. The reason they want this new vaccine technology is because they say it is fast and can scale cheaply. As with ed-tech it’s always about what will scale.
Read this article to see why global finance and public health are a toxic mix. The insights into the World Bank’s pandemic bond in the Ebola outbreak are chilling. “In my research, though, investors and other governors have shown more interest in developing data collection, analysis, and visualization systems than in addressing the truculence of a health care system. Influencing data is possible from several sides. Higher death rate data mean that the bond money would be released for emergency response. Increasing death rates from a viral disease like Ebola is as easy as slowing down or stalling medical supply deliveries with simple customs concerns at transport facilities. On the investor side, deflating death rate data would be as easy as buying off the data collectors, restricting the gasoline supply for their motorcycles, or getting into their smart phones and tablets to alter data. When investors are gambling, when there is so much money to be gained or lost, there are a lot of creative ways to play with data triggers if that is what stands between gaining or losing a lot of money (see Kolhatkar, 2018). In the new forms of global health financing, data have become the lucrative deal makers and breakers in speculative finance, quite removed from the actual lived experiences of a well body.”
Figures can lie and liars figure. As a cancer survivor….we use to laugh in our support group about data and the relevance to statistics in making personal choices. Seriously, it was a joke! If I had listened to the doctors who had advised me according to statistics then I’d likely be dead. Their previous screening tests never picked up the second tumor or any of the other diseased tissues. It was only my desire to lower my risk as much as possible that changed the outcome. Sadly, I can envision a day coming where those personal “choices” will no longer exists. Data will rule the day. And….oh, if data is to be so reliable….I should not have had cancer to begin with. Data can be manipulated….intentionally and unintentionally. As a society, we are treating it increasingly as if it is reliable and infallible…..forgetting that data and what it represents is sometimes only as good as the person or entity that enters it into the damn computer. Personally, knowing the algorithms, programs and plans Gates promoted for education…..well, let’s just say….I prefer the “Industrial age model” they have desecrated with their simplistic but effective marketing campaigns. In our district, what I saw fueling its implementation was a nasty combination of narcissism, misplaced loyalty, and a desire for certain individuals to be deemed important and better than their peers. After all, they were in the presence of a successful famous billionaire or two.
This is a super good study/article. I fear the part about how cell phones are not that reliable for tracking humans, will be solved with better human sensors, i.e. chips implanted, 5G cameras etc. The data pieces are Campbell’s law and for the life of me, I don’t get why so many intelligent people are willing to let that piece be ignored. Guess it’s who butters your bread and in the P3 and world of science, it’s pretty much the corps., big banks, vulture philanthropists, ect. so don’t bite the hand that feeds you. These type of bonds are probably going to have to go really bad, for things to someday change. What that means for the world, I don’t know, scared to think. But there could be irony to what helps cause mankind’s final doom is measure, measure, measure and it’s relationship to capitalism–should that ever be the case.
Gates has a financial stake in Moderna, a company that describes its patented new vaccine mRNA delivery platform as the “software of life.” And we have Anthony Fauci, long-time advisor to Gates, telling us we should be preparing for continued viral outbreaks. This presumably indicates a plan is in place for ongoing vaccinations – with this mRNA platform that is supposedly fast and cheap and scalable. For me, this begs the question – does Bill Gates see humans as operating systems that will need to be upgraded with his vaccine “software?” Bill Gates who is a big investor in GMOs. What will this mean for society? There are big ethical questions we need to be prepared for as this vaccination program advances over the next 18 months.
For everyone in a school district that has been set up to fail, measured on a data dashboard, and had their autonomy taken away. Think about what that is going to look like for your city in relation to “pandemic preparedness” metrics. Learn from experience. Civil liberties are easily lost and not so easily reclaimed
Those “health security metrics” are all the work of Gates + Bloomberg.
Part 12:
Screenshot from what appears to be a Johns Hopkins briefing document released a month before the Gates-Funded pandemic table-top game “Event 201.” Data…data…data…pandemic preparedness data. https://apps.who.int/gpmb/assets/thematic_papers/tr-6.pdf
“A commonly cited limitation is insufficient availability of laboratory testing.”
“During large-scale events involving a respiratory pathogen, it will be critically important that countries and the international community have ready access to information to support decision making about how best to respond. A key question that is likely to emerge right away is how severe the event is in terms of health impacts (eg, percent ill, percent of cases resulting in death or severe outcomes). As demonstrated in the 2009 influenza pandemic, the answers to these questions are likely not readily available in traditional public health surveillance systems. Health officials should identify additional data sources that may provide insights to these questions and make plans for accessing and analyzing them.87 To enable this, countries should invest in developing surveillance systems that produce timely, accurate, and highly resolved data that can be easily analyzed and shared.”
So… even if it turns out that the predictions were overblown, they will win, because we will end up clamoring for better surveillance systems so that it doesn’t happen again.
More disease surveillance! Google, Amazon, Microsoft help us!
“Technological advances are needed to modernize our diagnostic capabilities to become faster and nimbler at the onset of outbreaks, particularly around novel pathogens. Diagnostic tools are required in settings beyond centralized laboratories.”
“large influx of patients during a respira- tory pandemic would require additional staff and supplies. Healthcare workers would need to be trained in appropriate infection prevention and control practices, including personal protective equipment (PPE) donning and doffing, and appropriate hand hygiene. The availability of essential basic supplies and equipment must also be included in global planning efforts. There is a severe maldistribution of medical supplies between countries and health systems around the world, and a dedicated effort is needed to determine how low- and middle-income countries would maintain access to critical supplies (eg, masks, respirators, gloves, gowns, IV fluid bags, medical gases) during a large-scale respiratory disease outbreak.”
…seriously clairvoyant.
“Some recent health security reports and reviews strongly advocate community engagement as a “core function when managing a health emergency.”4,44,46-48 Helping prompt such a stance is recognition that “community engagement ultimately made the difference” in the countries most affected by the H1N1 and H5N1 outbreaks,47 and that greater efforts to understand, and to earn the cooperation of wary villagers who resisted care and containment measures, could have reduced the impacts of the West Africa Ebola outbreak.”
social distancing anyone?
we are the wary villagers.
Nucleic acid vaccines, for example, are readily adapted for new targets by simply changing the nucleotide sequence; manufacture and its attendant safety testing is simplified because these vaccines could be considered “chemicals” and, like the manufacture of small-molecule chemical MCMs, may not need extensive batch testing once the manufacturing processes are established.
Yes! The platform treatment – industrial bio-engineering.
While healthcare workers in a pandemic would require and be comfortable using PPE, specifically masks and respirators, providing masks for the public to limit risk of trans- mission would be a greater challenge. Widespread use of masks and respirators by the public would be complicated by the challenges of proper fit, the costs, and the inability of the supply chain to provide masks at that scale.119 The same mask suppliers would be besieged by countries and healthcare facilities around the world. If there were limited availability of masks and respirators in a given country (which would be highly probable), they would need to be prioritized for health facilities to provide protection for healthcare workers and increase infection prevention and control measures. Beyond this, in the public setting, there is very little available information that studies the effectiveness of masks outside of health facilities. Additional research into the development of easy- to-use, effective, and reusable masks for wider use should be considered.
Quarantine is a separation of potentially infectious individuals from susceptible populations. It is often confused with isolation, which refers to separating individuals known to be transmissible (typically implemented in a health facility). Though isolation is routinely used in healthcare and public health practice, the use of quaran- tine is rare and has been controversial. Social distancing covers an array of measures aimed at reducing contact between members of the community that could potentially result in disease transmission, including closing schools, canceling mass gatherings, facilitating remote- or tele-working, and suspending mass transit operations.
who had heard of “social distancing” before any of this? oh thats right… ^^^
f they saw it coming….and how unprepared the world was….why didn’t their philanthropic foundations immediately go to work donating the expected needed supplies and donate them around the world to insure the safety of millions? (Ummm….could it be that there would be no return on that kind of philanthropy?)
It’s the SLO model. You need to create an intentionally sh*tty baseline to show “growth” the next time around.
Post 13:
It appears pandemics are ripe for public-private preparedness partnerships. How handy that Bloomberg and Gates are so well-positioned. Note the references to “Disease X” that appeared a few months after the Event 201 exercise. https://apps.who.int/gpmb/assets/thematic_papers/tr-6.pdf
Interesting that the Federal Reserve was having a “rate crisis” since September 2019. What a convenient excuse for the well-connected to pull out of the market before things got really ugly, citing “coronavirus fear”.
“For some time now there has been increasing interest in healthcare systems around the world in the use of social prescriptions, i.e., the ability for GPs and other healthcare professionals to refer patients to activity- or community-based services rather than offering medicalised solutions. It is felt that social prescriptions may offer better and more cost-effective long-term solutions to common physical and mental health conditions. However, despite the promise around social prescribing, the evidence base and the means to implement it at scale are lacking. This is one aspect where Internet of Things (IoT) technologies could play a significant role. For example, networked wearable devices such as step counters have already been used to motivate users to become more active and in some cases encouraged social engagement.”
And some replies to this post:
OMG. Pretty much exactly as I envisioned, including using SP for markets that tap the free labor it can provide. God help anyone with a hidden disease in this system, or that needs costly treatment the insurance companies don’t want to provide. And technologists and entrepruneurs designing the healthcare system over Drs. and nurses? Well, they’ve done such a good job ruining education and other industries, ….it’s entrepruneurs as Gods in this society. When in fact they are no smarter, just many of them more comfortable with using and abusing others for profit.
“People-powered health” to cut costs – by 20% at least.
“The workshops will also support innovators and investors to understand the market potential of IoT-enabled social prescriptions. The first workshop will be a focus group aimed at understanding the key challenges social prescription prescribers (represented by GPs and link /community health workers) and social prescription providers face. “
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Wondering if this 2017 exercise included a pandemic? ORU is promoting blockchain credentialing for higher education.
Any of my friends’ schools use Zoom?…or NOT use..because concerned about privacy?
And some replies to this post:
Our homeschool high school group is using it and our dance studio is using it. Kids click on a link and just type their first name. My daughter did most of dance class today with the microphone muted and the camera turned off. She was the only one who did that. It was her choice. I didn’t say anything to her. She is 13. Her teacher did ask her to turn it on for her solo part and she did.
PSD has said NOT to use Zoom because of the privacy issues.
What is PSD?
Poudre School District
Idk how much different is it if the school is already using all the Google education suite, clever, and so forth?? From their own devices?!
Our district is not 1 to 1 but now everyone including staff are using personal devices. It’s all nuts
I have never used Zoom but can everyone in the meeting see everyone else in the meeting? Students/teachers are seeing inside each others’ homes?
Yes, you can see everyone in the meeting if they have their camera on. you can change your background if you are techy– but most parents/ elelmentary kids arent going to do this.
I really don’t want people seeing inside my home…between this and google, we are giving away quite a bit of info about ourselves before the students even log into some tech learning program…
There is a requirement to meet special ed Students’ needs. A speech pathologist must see the child’s mouth. Schools are between a rock and a hard place.
As a sped parent, I will be declining services during this time. The privacy in the privacy policy for “ring meeting” (which is being used by Solace home therapy services) is non-existent and families with sped kiddos the consequences are far greater because of the medical Pii that could be collected. Zoom is likely the same and parents should be warned not to discuss medically sensitive data when in use. INFORMATION WE COLLECT As used in this Notice, “personal information” or “personal data” means any information or data relating to an identified or identifiable natural person or household (an “identifier”) that we process in connection with our Websites, Apps, and Services; an identified or identifiable natural person or household is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person or household.
I heard a student already posted porn during a conference with a class.
The issue here: schools are forced to shut down, they are panicking and under pressure to show accountability and learning and seat time and loads of other “helpful” mandates from state and feds. That said… Our teachers /children are being exposed to so much screen time and Data Collection. There is nothing wrong with schools saying, hey we trust you to read a book or packet or do some learning at home with parents, do a project, etc and we will all get through this…we care more about the kids than the process and the politics. Take care of yourselves. Some schools are doing just that. ❤ But some, are rushing to the tech. I ABSOLUTELY think schools need to do a better job vetting tech vendors. And edtech are making a killing as PREDATORY VENDORS in this climate….largely with no one but themselves to self monitor and enforce privacy “promises”. We need change and we need people to say protect kids above all else. Do No Harm.
I’ve never spent this much the in front of screens. And my assignments are not only screen based but it’s the communication method. Some Emil, some apps, some Google classroom. Some phone calls. It’s so much. And all those trying to find worthwhile things for my students. Not to mention not all of them have materials at home that are needed for homemade games etc. This is a tough call for all but esp those if us who are more aware of these problems. I have parents who are telling me they don’t understand the worksheets and packet materials. Kindergarten. How do I help them?! And if we aren’t “working” and it’s all on parents how long until people insist teachers not get paid? Just some thoughts from my perspective
I appreciate and understand your perspective. I value teachers and do not want teachers to be replaced by screens. I also think tech can be useful when used age appropriately, in moderation… and there is NO REASON that edtech has to be creepy and collect data, monetize it. If tech wants to help, tech should work on screens that don’t emit blue light /emf, tech should stop collecting or processing children’s data without parent consent.
[child’s name redacted]’s teacher sent out a bunch of stuff to do. [child’s name redacted] was supposed to do it at home within the timeframe they use at school and return it between 2:30 and 3pm in order to be counted present for the day. I emailed the teacher and assured her it won’t be happening like that. I said that when she is with them, they can make those determinations and follow that schedule and we are fine with that. But if she is at home, and we have to guide and work with her on the things that were sent AND do our responsibilities that may or may not have real times that are attached, we’d do it on our schedule and get it to her when we get it to her, and they need to be fine with that. I assured her that we are invested in education, but would not be adhering to that schedule. She lightened up pretty quickly and told us to just send an email daily that “work was being done.” No problem. After spring break, they are moving to Google Classroom. I’m not sure what we will do then, but I still can’t see us keeping our kid at home on the schedule they dictate. I’m not worried about adhering to their curriculum during this time. They can’t grade this stuff. I’m certain the edvestors are slapping their foreheads right now saying, “A pandemic! Why didn’t we think of this?!? It makes everything so EASY!”
A couple of things that people should be concerned about and watching during this time: 1) STALKING: I wouldn’t be surprised if school districts can collect information on all activity on a home computer when a student is logged into their school Google account. 2) FREE STUFF: There are a lot of free tools that are being offered during this time. It is generally a bad practice to list bad sites. Unfortunately, when parents don’t find a site listed on a “bad site” list then they tend to come to the conclusion that other sites are “good”. I will list some KNOWN bad sites at the bottom. If you find inappropriate material on a site that I do not list, please notify me at takebacktheshac@gmail.com 3) FILTERS: School districts have internet filters required through the Child Internet Protection Act (CIPA). Home networks generally do not have strong enough filters. Get filters ASAP on your home network to protect your children and monitor their activity. 4) SCHOOL ONLINE RESOURCES: School districts in Texas often use TexQuest (state wide cost sharing model) resources or contract with the same companies directly. The Texas State Library and Archives Commission, legislators, and many school districts have been notified about the pornographic material in EBSCO eBooks and GALE resources contracted through TexQuest paid for by tax dollars. Unfortunately, when a student is logged into these databases, it is like a VPN portal and the network filters do NOT work. 5) PUBLIC LIBRARIES: Public libraries should be “parental guidance” zones including their online resources. Librarians protect pornographic materials on the shelves, in online books, and through online research resources through the “Right to Read.” All of the efforts that we have done to clean up online research resources do NOT effect public library resources. TexShare resources are FULL of inappropriate materials. Per #2 – Sites with inappropriate material: EBSCO GALE Amaze TexQuest TexShare Sites with material that should be monitored by parents: BrainPop Discovery Education
A lot of public libraries are also closed due to the virus.
Also, only the ALA-loyal ones protect porn. Loads find it as revolting as we do.
Amazing. I just found out that our local neighborhood schools are not even using Zoom because of privacy and security concerns! But a Charter school can choose to use it, which is the situation I’m in. Does anyone know if I watch a pre-recorded Zoom video, does this compromise our privacy in any way, and do we have to agree to their privacy policy in order to do that?
Here is a post on the wall of a friend of mine:
THE GLOBAL VIROME PROJECT – The more I research, the more I am finding that there is JUST TOO MUCH COINCIDENCE with the events of the day and the PLANS made by the GLOBAL SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. It begs to question, is this the ENDGAME to initiate GLOBAL GOVERNANCE? Think About it very Carefully B4 you Answer…
The Beck Group’s Skyport draws inspiration from the transportation hubs of the past and the beauty of hexagonal form found in hives created by honeybees. eVTOLS much like bees, will fly away from the Hive and return in a never ending cycle of activity.

Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
SHARE and CONTACTLEGISLATORS At a time of great crisis, will our governor’s response to the pandemic change early childhood and the family forever? At other times of crises, such as 9-11 and the collapse of the World Trade Towers, we witnessed sweeping legislation under the Patriot Act bringing our citizens under increasing state surveillance.
Here is further guidance on new executive order. Rep. Erickson remarked. Friends and Neighbors, please tell our providers about this. URGENT: GRANTS EASE STRAIN FOR CENTRAL MINNESOTA CHILD CARE PROVIDERS Focus is on family and center-based providers serving children of essential works birth to age 5 Dear early childhood advocate, We know that now, more than ever, Central Minnesota child care providers face new challenges as the coronavirus impacts families, businesses and communities. Today we’re asking for your help to spread the word about a rapid-response emergency grant program we’ve created at the urging of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and in concert with our five Minnesota Initiative Foundation partners. The Emergency Child Care Grant Program launched today, March 26, provides immediate financial support to licensed family- and center-based child care providers in Central Minnesota who are serving emergency and essential workers. Grants of $500 to $3,000 will be awarded to providers who serve the children (birth to 5) of first responders, emergency personnel, health care workers or anyone else deemed essential to work during this crisis. See the state-approved list of essential personnel . We intend to provide a response and funding to qualified applicants within two weeks of application submission. Grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Use this short online application to apply. The Emergency Child Care Grant Program is being coordinated throughout Greater Minnesota by the six Minnesota Initiative Foundations through the investment of $50,000 each. Fundraising from additional partners is ongoing, so there may be an opportunity for additional grant rounds. If you know a provider in another community beyond Central Minnesota, please have them contact their local Minnesota Initiative Foundation for more information. Providers in the seven-county metropolitan area should contact Think Small , an organization that is providing a similar grant opportunity for metro-area providers. We don’t know what the next few weeks will bring, but our team is ready to help where and when we can, and we’re sending good thoughts to all you! Please contact me with any questions. Be well, Don Hickman Vice President for Community and Workforce Development dhickman@ifound.org
So now we see that the article above is correct AND that via the Emergency Child Care Grant Program now even the licensed home-based and small-center providers can get in on the free $$$ for childcare, birth to 5!! The Initiative Foundations push only childcare that is Parent Aware. Think Small is also part of the Parent Aware pushing system and one of the “stakeholders” at the Capitol. Childcare is nearly taken over. This means a child’s life…. the life of your family.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Keep in mind both political parties endorse a digital currency – A DIGITAL CURRENCY NEXT YEAR? “The ultimate vision here is that at some point down the road, probably next year, people really would have a direct account with the Fed consisting of digital money and there wouldn’t be any other intermediary bank,” Ricks said. “The Fed doesn’t have that retail capability right now.” The language first appeared, and was then promptly stripped from one of two House bills, on Monday – and is likely to be dropped from the other House bill. Then the digital dollar roared back to life with its own dedicated draft bill before the U.S. Senate. That bill was introduced Monday by Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), who is also the ranking member on the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.
GOP McHenry : “Look at the way technology is fundamentally changing lives and places like Kenya. Think of this. In Kenya, the phone, your smartphone, our smartphone is that way to financial inclusion in Kenya. The “movement of money cheaper” in Kenya than it is here because of this simple device. It’s more powerful in that jurisdiction than in ours because of regulation and forward-looking regulation. And instead of loading buses filled with luggage that’s filled with cash in moving money in Kenya, they’re now doing it through a fast transfer over their mobile device. They’ve moved generations ahead overnight. And in fact, in many ways, they’re leading the world in Fintech deployment. So, we’re living in a new and exciting era in financial services. It’s actually matched the best interest of consumer protection with the demands of global smartphone-led revolution that we, as consumers, are driving. Now, that’s what’s happening in the real world. “
Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan delivers remarks at the Blockchain Forum, at the Department of State on October 10, 2017. It’s no wonder that Blockchain technology, a market that could grow to more than $40 billion by 2022 according to at least one estimate, has captured the attention of governments and international organizations worldwide. Estonia, a leader in this technology, has embraced the use of Blockchain to offer government-issued digital IDs. Last year, the Georgian Government launched a project in partnership with the private sector to register land titles using a private Blockchain. In the UAE, the government has started a goal of using Blockchain technologies to create a paperless Dubai by 2020. The Singaporean Government has also partnered with the private sector to open a center for Blockchain technology. And finally, the UN is working with a number of companies to create Blockchain pilot projects that help vulnerable populations, such as refugees, by developing economic identities and delivering humanitarian aid more efficiently.
COVID-19 – A Catalyst to initiate GLOBAL GOVERNANCE-NWO?
“This funding opportunity will support the planning, catalyst, and pilot implementation of social science research projects focused on any topic relevant to improving our understanding of how to design and implement effective global governance arrangements, institutions, and/or structures for addressing AMR and related infectious disease threats.”
I dont think its any secret anymore that covid-19 is the catalyst used to freeze the credit/distribution system because of liquidity shortage. It is also apparent any new credit will ne be issued in a blockchain based technology. Close the 1st tap then open the new and improved 2nd tap.
And here is another post from this friend of mine:
For a long time I have sat and read so many posts of people who were either for the ” blue wave ” the ” red wave ” or Libertarian , and I have to admit I have been frustrated and irritated to have so much information that I have gathered for years wanting to show the truth of what was coming … It does not matter who you support the government on both sides of the canvas are working towards what we know as the new world order or as I call it global governance . I knew from 2008 this was going to happen due to a lecture George Soros gave at a EU university and was transmitted via satellite to universities around the world .. His lecture was a new economy and a need for a new currency –
I honestly did not know if the government of our country would collapse the old monetary system to create the new one but I knew it was coming … It is so important for everyone to understand the economy is what gives us the means of life as food , water, shelter ,jobs, etc.. Once this digital system is completed we will be controlled just as in China and other countries who claim they are using soft socialism … There isn’t anything soft about it – They can watch every move you make, they can control your spending, if you become a rouge citizen and not agree to everything they have planned they simply will cut you off from essentials that maintain life .. They will hold your life in the palm of their hand …
I know the agenda of Common Core Education is important to stop but if you do not have the essentials to live than what does Common Core Education or any other agenda really mean ? In other words what I am trying to say how you survive is the most important – You have to have the life giving essentials to live … As far as knowing what to do about this I honestly do not know but to have strong faith in our Christian belief and to do what is necessary for you and your family to survive through the perilous times we are heading into until we are called home by our Savior.. and by all means do a great deal of praying for all Americans .. Digital 2021 is coming
The Oklahoma DIGITAL DRIVERS LICENSE pilot program is run by IDEMIA, whose major shareholder is the Advent International Global Private Equity hedge fund.
TULSA PUBLIC SCHOOLS contracts with IDEMIA through the OK State Dept of Education to collect fingerprint data from TPS teachers.
“According to IDEMIA, the system includes multiple algorithms with the ability to recognize not only faces but silhouettes, vehicles, number plates, and an unspecified number of objects. All of those capabilities raise serious civil rights concerns, but a particularly pernicious advancement in the technology is its automated “access control system,” which claims to identify a “person of interest,” provide a direct alert, and automatically deny that person access to a space. Presumably, the same technology could be used by governments to track people as they move through public space in real time.”
Is there a merger taking place between the Federal Reserve and US Treasury with the Treasury taking authority?
“In other words, the federal government is nationalizing large swaths of the financial markets. The Fed is providing the money to do it. BlackRock will be doing the trades.
This scheme essentially merges the Fed and Treasury into one organization…”
If you understand the money structure…the very elite families (not the government) invented the federal reserve bank…these families “loaned” our USA government money “at interest”….we pay the interest on that loan when we pay federal taxes. That’s old… There is soo much more going on right now…that this mild flu is a cover for…we are at war, an internal secret global war between the elite power structure (that controls the governments of the world)…and the people. If releases are anywhere near correct…you will be watching the power structure fall. Personally…if we can reclaim our control of money from the friggen Rockefellers and Rothschilds…I’m ALL for it!!! Huzzah!!!
I’m not a fan of the Federal Reserve at all. At least one president was assassinated over this very idea of removing the Fed. Yes, I do agree that there is an agenda behind the CV. Two things are happening simultaneously.
So happy to see how awake people are getting. ❤️
Not sure how “awake” I am. Just information to consider. Why does Trump want to inflate the stock market 10,000 more points? I’m not a financial person but have a lot of questions.
I don’t rightly understand stocks…or why we’d create events to alter the stock market…to me…it’s all imaginary digital money. But the 2nd Zeitgeist movie gives details into how money in the USA works. I think it’s good to know, as we sort out WHATs coming.
This has to have been in the works for a while. Perhaps this is why the Fed Reserve Neel Kashkari wanted to pass a bill to change our governmental structure replacing it with language of a treaty w/UN (Convention on the Rights of the Child) as a new government structure? I’ve heard of no other bill in another state like this. Minnesota was the first state to sign on to the Dec on Human Rights as well as sign on to UNESCO.
Essentially, a “merger” is a kinder, gentler way to say “Abolish” the Fed which is something that should have happened long ago, and all Presidents who have tried thus far have been assassinated. I too wonder how this virus might also be a smokescreen for other, perhaps good, changes coming. If you can entertain conspiracy theory, even for fun, as pure fiction, this video is probably a good intro to the whole “Q” thing for anyone who in’t familiar. I’ve watched and read a lot on this subject, but there was a take-away in this video which I was not familiar with called “Gray Zone 4th Generation Warfare”. The military research document referred to in the video, “Unwriting the Future: Decoding the Next Strategic Shock” actually exists, so I searched and downloaded it. It’s about 35 pages and absolutely fascinating. If you read it, you will then be able to imagine many plausible scenarios which bolster the idea that there is more to this virus thing.
This will end with hyperinflation if the Treasury and congress get control of the printing press
We are in the “unseen” war. Pray each hour.
And hopefully end “shrink-flation” which is the corporate way of hiding what is going on with the dollar. No more 2d cereal boxes!
Inflation is just getting started.
It’s obvious what they’re after: tanking the dollar (among other currencies) and replacing them with digital blockchain currencies. Then they can digitally wipe out the savings and livelihoods of all in their way.
Here is another post from her:
I just learned that there is funding in the stimulus package for BARDA, CDC tracking, biomedical surveillance. This is Orwellian.
Here are some posts from a New York anti-Common Core group:
I wasn’t too comfortable with how fast my district set up online “learning”. It seemed more of an effort to meet a mandate, deadline, or some other administrative issue then to set up true learning opportunities.
makes ya wonder how much of the school day was already flipped to majority online anyway.
had this discussion with our principal 6 or 7 years ago when my son was in middle school…most of their day was spent on the computer, hardly any interaction with teachers..a great teacher would go out on maternity or disability and they’d just hire a music teacher or other sub to be a place holder, but teaching was all done on line then. He tried to reassure me..”Mrs. [last name redacted], it isn’t like we’re going to get rid of the teachers and classroom learning..”>..
I saw so many posts about how wonderful it is to get the kids back to a “normal” routine. Some parents are elated their kids are doing online exercises 6-10hrs PER DAY! 🤦♂️
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
Chrome book education is largely an extractive enterprise. Monitored consumption
And some replies to this post:
My school district supplied low income families last week with one to a household. The students are to do work on them.
And this history is long forgotten – the richest school district in PA, too.
Yep. My kid’s high school gives one to every student. I tell him never to do anything besides school work on it and don’t even let him turn it on at home. I wish they had a place they could leave them at school.
I know other kids don’t have that luxury though, as the Chromebook is their only access to a computer at home.
This is the end game. I will fight it all the way down. I got screwed on opt out. “Privacy” is the next “opt out.” Fool me once…
I hate all of this. “Four-year-old Cherrise Parrish sits crosslegged on her living room floor working on early reading activities on a Chromebook in her lap, even though her home–located on a remote parcel of rugged land in the red desert wilderness of Monument Valley, within the Utah side of the Navajo Nation–has no running water or electrical power.” Online pre-k in this instance.
And some replies to this post:
That pales in comparison with the San Diego SD ask for three billion for online learning.
It’s probably the career badges. I hear those are quite pricey. 😉
Important to understand the history. Ed-tech is an extractive business model tied to the defense department. Most people have no idea.
Once the digital divide is closed it becomes a digital panopticon / digital jail.
“We Can Track It” + Digital Badges + AI + Structural Racism – things most people are not thinking about when they embrace these systems. We need to look to the GEF agenda – human capital portfolios. Our nation’s history is shaping this future.
They’re literally attempting the exact same play in Richmond, VA
“Anytime, Anywhere” no school buildings or face-to-face relationships required.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Oh hades no – if what I think is going to happen – This gov/ Fed. Reserve will bail out pension funds, states , corporations, and I think they are going to do MMT [ Modern Monetary Theory]
They will do helicopter money and where will this leave us ? The Government /Federal Reserve will have much more of a say on our every day life through corporate America .and eventually through mid-size and small businesses depending on how involved the gov./Fed. Reserve become in issuing these bail outs and how much equity and debt they are taking on not only corporate America but most businesses in general … If this happens we will go totally socialist – You can mark that down in your little black book and I think this is exactly where we are heading …
And another post from her:
85% of small businesses – which employ 80% of China’s population – expect to run out of cash within three months, and a third expect the cash to be all gone within a month. China’s People’s Bank of China is already working on a digital currency
Here’s a post from a Nevada anti-Common Core group:
In Nevada schools once something gets logged into Infinite Campus (IC) by a school district employee, typically without parental knowledge, it never gets deleted. An incident can be added to IC in at least one of four tabs (places): Discipline, Minor Discipline, Counseling, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). In addition, IC uploads student data to the SAIN (System of Accountability Information in Nevada) at the Nevada Department of Education. SAIN student data is also never deleted. So when something like this incident happens in a Nevada school, if it’s recorded by a district employee in IC, it will be stored forever in two places.
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
This surveillance state is for all of us, but what group of society is now being forced to do their school all online?? Our kids! Pretty convenient wouldn’t you say?
First up, Senator Franzen who just so happened to Co-found New Publica. If you visit New Publica’s Website, you will find a list of their clients. One of these clients is Minniminds who is pushing the Great Start for All, a socialist plan for young children.
Getting the picture?
Stay tuned, we’re just getting started.
And some replies to this post:
I find it SUPER weird the department of transportation is funding childcare anything….😳
The Great Start uses nearly all the agencies honestly.
I knew there was someone behind this bastion of legislation. Who can come up with it as quickly as it was voted on and passed? Only someone who was READY for a crisis all along!
All the stakeholders were ready and likely knew this was coming. The WEIRD Constitutional amendment was the red flag that freedoms were about to be removed.
well, we’re all about to lose our freedoms and livelihoods. I’d be shocked if this lockdown ends in a couple of weeks like it’s supposed to.
And another post from this group:
COVID-19 bill being discussed right now. Other “extras” included.
The House bill is passed. We don’t know what exactly is in it.
They didn’t know exactly what was in it either…
I was just going to ask…hmmm…what’s NOT in it, is a provision agreeing to lift the out of state licensing restrictions on doctors. And did I catch this right…funding for planned parenthood??? Did they just FLEECE Minnesota of 330 million dollars to shut out the Federal Government???? Are we in a state of internal war??? What about the poor??? Why is MN NOT dealing with staying rent requirements??? Or helping the poor???
We’ve been sold out to Gates….that’s what just happened!!!
I don’t get why DL are even a part of this. What does that have to do with CV?
REAL ID, data badges, trackable data on everyone
Here are some posts from a Nevada anti-Common Core group:
In Incline Village we kept a WCSD/AT&T cell tower off of our high school football field, but many schools have cell towers. The going rate was $1,200 per month. I’ve brought this up at school board meetings a handful of times, no one (except me) had concerns.
Former Superintendent of Public Instruction in AZ said the contracts the AZ schools had with the cell phone companies allowed them to “upgrade to new technology” with no additional approval from the school districts.
There are so many important things for children to learn,…that they are not learning at WCSD. I would much rather they work at those things, without computer technology than with. There is a time for that but after they’ve learned without.
Click on link to go directly to Trustee Minetto talk about one of here old students, at one of the new 1:1 schools, and how he has a headache all day and all night now. No one knows for sure why this kid and many others have so many headaches but until we can say WiFi is safe why are we installing at all the old and even the new (could be wired only) schools?
At a board meeting staff said WiFi and wired internet is being installed in all the new schools. WiFi has been added to most (maybe all) pre-existing schools.
Granted, I haven’t read ALL of the posts above (yet) but I don’t think, so far, that it’s mentioned more than health effects from what I’ve seen so far. There’s another threat that hasn’t been brought up: one VERY pertinent to this group: surveillance.
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
my daughter’s history teacher is constantly trying to indoctrinate the class. When my daughter questioned her on a topic, the teacher mocked her and laughed at her in front of the whole class. I did complain but of course nothing was done. Then she mocked her again just before vacation started. I emailed the principal and superintendent this time and had a conversation with the principal. But what can I demand? I’ve been told by a trusted source that the teacher is untouchable and all I can do is make the school’s life hell so they in turn may do something on their own. Very frustrating to have a bully for a teacher and you can’t do anything about it.
This was one of her propaganda slides. It was in the civil rights curriculum, I went to the MA DOD site and did not see anything about discussing this in the curriculum. Other topics they discussed in class were listed. Whether for or against illegal immigration, this slide is pure BS. This teacher also added her preferred pronouns to her work email signature, and went on a rant about how women get paid less than men. When my daughter questioned this saying her mom always made more than her dad, the teacher asked where we both worked and used that as an excuse to say my daughter was wrong because they were different jobs. She also went on rant complaining about she missed making tenure a few years ago because she missed 12 weeks of work (which were not all paid!) when she chose to have a baby. Claimed is discriminating against women. I told my daughter if she brings that up again, just say well a man who was in a car accident or needed surgery and missed 12 weeks of work also would’ve missed tenure since he did not actually work the required number of hours, as stated in your union contract. So do you want equal rights or more rights than everyone else? But she immediately shuts anyone down who does not agree with her. I will see how the school responds to my bullying complaint. My daughter has autism, so this teacher is attacking a disabled student, and the majority of her teachers cannot follow a simple IEP.
After I made a post showing a picture of where Facebook’s “fact checkers” were accusing of “fake news” and threatening to limit their reach if the “fact checker” labeled them “fake news” too many times and he said in reply
Look into the OECD’s International Artificial Intelligence Principles co-created with help from all the big tech giants. The Trump administration has signed on. They are AI Standards (Common Standards) for an “inclusive” internet. The UN Smart City gurus are outsmarting this administration and eliminating free speech (think of what will be curtailed in online curriculum).
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
Uh sound familiar ??
“G. K. Chesterton once said that the family is a cell of resistance to oppression. Unfortunately, this was one point of Catholic theology that the communists agreed with. To undermine Polish culture, communists struck at its heart—the family. Work and school schedules were organized so that parents had minimal contact with each other and with their children. Birth control and abortion were encouraged, state-sponsored sex education was implemented in schools, and apartments were built to accommodate only small families.”

Here is a post from a friend fo mine:
Here are just a few of the sketchy items on the TulsaPublicSchools agenda for the meeting on Monday Feb. 24:
NOTICE THE SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL DATA GRAB. Check the sponsors/funders/investors of the named programs, e.g. City Lab.
My friend Alison has taken a lot of abuse from parents and teachers who simply cannot face the reality of this. It’s happening, folks. TPS is going down and taking 40,000 children and youth with it. She is 100% correct about where this is going.
RATIONALE: The colaboration between The Opportunity Project and Tulsa Public Schools was developed through the Walace Foundation’s Partnership for Social Emotional Learning Initiative (PSELI), where the work centers around school day staff and out-of-school time partners aligning efforts to implement social and emotional learning strategies for students and adults. A key component of the co laboration is to develop and implement comprehensive systems and supports, that bridge in-school and out-of-school programs, in order to create seamless expanded learning experiences that provide students with the time and space to master skils, explore interests, and to build positive relationships with peers and adults.
RECOMMENDATION: Enter into a contract with the Yale Center for Emotional Inte ligence to provide training and technical assistance services for the implementation of the RULER program in the folowing authorized schools: McClure, Whitman, Eugene Field, Council Oak, Robertson, Grissom, and Hamilton, in addition to the RULER district team. RATIONALE: RULER is an evidence-based approach for integrating social and emotional learning into schools, developed at the Yale Center for Emotional Inte ligence. RULER applies “hard science” to the teaching of what have historicaly been caled “soft skils.” RULER teaches the skils of emotional inte ligence — those associated with recognizing, understanding, labeling, expressing, and regulating emotion. Decades of research show that these skils are essential to effective teaching and learning, sound decision making, physical and mental health, and success in school and beyond. Currently, RULER is implemented in these schools across the district: McClure, Whitman, Eugene Field, Council Oak, Robertson, Grissom, and Hamilton.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with YMCA Go Club of Tulsa to provide an extended summer school program for kindergarten through fifth grade students enro led at Hamilton, Kendal Whittier, Clinton West, Cooper, McClure, and Whitman elementary schools for a total of up to 240 students at each site for the 2020 summer school session. The district wil include the use of space at each site and sharing of data colected for evaluation purposes. The program wil be offered to students for free.
Enter into a contract with Great Minds LLC, Washington, DC, to provide the district with access to mathematics professional development sessions at Wilson Teaching and Learning including “Preparation and Customization of a Eureka Math Lesson”, “Focus on Fluency”, and “Lead Eureka Math”.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize Tulsa Public Schools to enter into a multi-agency agreement to support City Lab, a spring and summer break youth development and employment program. This agreement defines roles and responsibilities between and amongst Tulsa Community Colege, Tulsa Public Schools, City Year Tulsa, and the Tulsa Regional Stem A liance.
RATIONALE: City Lab is a youth employment development and employment program that Tulsa Public Schools and Tulsa Community Colege deliver in partnership. City Lab connects high school youth to real-world problems and prepares them to design solutions. The program is grant funded and focuses on students at Hale High School, East Central High School, Central High School, and Rogers High School. Tulsa Public Schools designed and piloted City Lab in the 2018-2019 school year.
The district, working in conjunction with Dallas education nonprofits Big Thought and Dallas Afterschool, received a million-dollar grant from the Wallace Foundation to launch the effort, focused on concepts such as self-efficacy, goal-setting, empathy and teamwork.
Commit!
I think Big Thought was connected to the badging, Wallace and MacArthur stuff Alison Hawver McDowell wrote about. They also have had contracts with TEA. hexagons
I’m sensing a theme.
The Texas Triangle!
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
GLOBAL GOVERNMENT AT WORK – Create a global tax system which has been in the works for years
US Treasury’s Mnuchin: Tax certainty needed on global basis
Gorbachev’s address to the Club of Rome 20 November 2009
Your Majesty, Dear Members of the Club of Rome, Ladies and Gentlemen,
The theme chosen for discussion at this Assembly, the interdependency of environmental problems, energy and the overcoming of the global economic crisis, indicates that the Club of Rome continues to be highly responsive to the trends observed in the global development. It is the interconnectedness of these problems that is of fundamental importance today. However, by no means everybody has come to realize this.
The events of the recent years and months have shown with renewed sense of urgency just how tightly all the key challenges and threats the humanity confronted during the last decades of the past century are intertwined. Today, they are felt increasingly keenly.
The environmental challenge is the biggest of them.
It has accumulated virtually every problem of concern to humanity. Today we are no longer talking of a purely environmental agenda. It relates directly to the problems in the area of security, to the probability of increasingly dangerous inter-ethnic and international conflicts. It relates directly to multimillion migration flows that are already having their destabilizing effects on politics and the economy. It relates directly to the growing poverty and social inequality, water crisis, and the shortage of energy and food.
The latest climate science is deeply disturbing. It is the last wake-up call. All the excuses and justifications for inaction, as well as pseudoscientific arguments should be finally discarded.
And another very important point I need to make: the talk about the efforts to save our environment undermining the economy has been refuted by life itself. We have seen even more clearly in the recent months that it is not the desire to ensure normal conditions of life for current and coming generations that undermines the economy. Crippling the economy are factors of a very different nature: the irresponsible drive for profit at any cost, the blind faith in the “invisible hand of the market”, failure of the state to act, and the patterns of consumerism that have been forced onto the world.
The current economic crisis is, in my view, far from over. Those who have been on the periphery of the economic development before are yet to fully see and comprehend its consequences. For the rest of us, the implications of the crisis will be severe as well. However, they will be deemed inconsequential compared to the devastation that the threat to the environment might bring to the world. And this devastation is inevitable if the efforts to steer ourselves out of the financial and economic crisis are confined to stop-gap measures, leading to the preservation of the old model and business as usual.
We must take action to save our planet. This should be a common task for the governments, the business and scientific community and civil society. Each of the stakeholders in this noble cause has a role to play and opportunities that are offered in the process. However, the world today is such that the main burden of responsibility lies with the states and their institutions.
Only the state can enforce strict standards and norms without which the efforts to tackle the climate change are meaningless. Only the state can mobilize resources and funds to encourage and deploy breakthrough technologies. Only the state can provide adequate support to those who find themselves particularly vulnerable in the context of the changing climate. And this support will be definitely needed. It is already clear today.
However, the states today are all too often acting quite the opposite: spending hundreds of billions on weapons, the trade in which has blown into a corruption scandal on a global scale, subsidizing the past century’s fossil fuel-based industries, not the energy sector of the future, saving money on social programs instead of investing in human capital.
A few weeks from now, state representatives will gather in Copenhagen to usher in a new and important era of cooperation between the states in addressing the climate change. It depends on them whether it will be a strong and convincing start or a weak and hope-shattering act.
Green Cross International, of which I am the Founding President, is concerned by the gap between the negotiating process and the latest scientific evidence. Proposals that are now on the table are more consistent with a path to 3-4°C warming than the science-based ‘maximum of 2°C’ endorsed by the leaders of the major economies in L’Aquila. Because of the differences between the industrialized and developing countries the official UNFCCC negotiating process has run into gridlock.
Much is determined today by the US position. President Obama’s personal commitment to success in Copenhagen is obvious; however, his opportunities are limited by the systemic difficulties related to the position of the US Congress. Without meaningful contribution by the United States no success is possible in cutting emissions or assisting developing countries.
A number of countries have already achieved significant progress.
China is on track to meet the energy targets in its 11th Five Year Plan and has announced its intentions to do more.
India has unveiled an ambitious solar program. Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, and other developing countries have also taken far-reaching steps.
The European Union appears to be holding firm on its target, and the new Japanese government recently announced an ambitious plan to cut emissions 25% by 2020.
Russia has set for itself ambitious goals in cutting the energy intensity of production and reducing gas flaring.
At the recent UN climate summit, the tone was more positive than it has ever been. The speeches were already about ‘how’ not ‘whether’. The state leaders can no longer fail to hear the alarm bell ringing. A strong effective agreement in Copenhagen or soon afterwards is feasible. This should be the baseline assumption and the goal to be sought vigorously.
Achieving meaningful progress will require the exercise of political will at the highest levels. Therefore, it is essential that the conference is attended by the heads of state and government. This is required both by the scale and the complexity of the challenge.
A kind of a ‘global deal’ between industrialized and developing countries is needed. Industrialized countries must lead the way with both deep emission cuts at home, and strong financial and technical support for mitigation of climate change in the developing world.
Developing countries – especially those with large fast-growing economies such as China, India and Brazil – must recognize their growing responsibilities for the health of the planet and the fact that low-carbon development is the only viable future for any economy.
It is clear that fleshing out of political decisions that are taken is a colossal task. They should be converted into real technologies and mechanisms. A dramatic increase in investment in energy-efficient technology and production, renewable energy sources, new engineering solutions for power industry and transportation sectors will be required. Again, political need would be needed for this process not to be stalled.
The cost of implementing these efforts will be huge. We talk about hundreds of billions of dollars. However, these estimates should be viewed in context. Trillions of dollars have been spent to bail out the global banking system. Trillions are still being spent for military purposes. That what will be spent to build a low-carbon economy will work for the future of humanity.
However, a low-carbon economy is only a part of this new economic model we need so badly today. The model that has been around for the past five decades should be replaced. Of course, it cannot be achieved overnight, but I think we can already discuss reference points and general contours of this new model.
It means, above all, the overcoming of the economy’s ‘addiction’ to super-profits and hyper-consumption, which is not possible unless societies reshape their values. It means shifting of the increasingly larger swaths of the economy to production of ‘social goods’, among which the sustainable environment takes a centre stage.
These social goods also include human health in the broad sense of the word, education, culture, equal opportunities, and social unity, including the elimination of the glaring gaps between the rich and the poor.
Society needs all this not only because ethical imperatives dictate it. The economic benefits to be brought by these “goods” are enormous. However, economists are yet to learn how to measure them. An intellectual breakthrough is needed here. A new model of economy cannot be built without it.
Ethical re-education of the business community would also be needed. Today businesses and their leaders tend to take their stand on environmental issues depending on the anticipated impact it will have on their business over the short, or at best, mid-term. There are some exclusions to it – socially and environmentally responsible companies – but these exclusions should become a rule. It is this kind of business that will be competitive in the coming decades. This should happen under the influence of shifts in taxation and the structure of subsidies and incentives. But this not enough: civil society also has its role in ‘educating’ the business, including through shifts in consumption patterns.
I have come now to a very important point. Civil society has already played a huge role in changing people’s mindsets, in exerting pressure political processes. However, at the present, critical stage it has an even harder task to accomplish: become a full-fledged participant in the process of making and implementing the decisions that will shape the face of the environment and the economy for decades to come.
Green Cross International believes that non-governmental organizations should take action both individually – in line with their goals and opportunities – and jointly. An integrated approach is needed, reflecting the inter-related nature of the global challenges. Within this approach solutions should be sought to amplify the voices of the public. We see the emergence of increasingly more communications channels for this, including the so-called ‘social networks’.
This approach forms the basis of an initiative launched by a number of organizations including Green Cross International, the Club of Rome, the Club of Madrid, Nobel Peace Laureates Summit, and other NGOs, as well as prominent scientists to develop a joint “beyond Copenhagen” roadmap. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, with whom we had a fruitful meeting in Geneva recently, has shown support to our initiative.
We expect that the Task Force we have launched will provide an impetus to the negotiating process as early as at the stage of working out an agreement in Copenhagen. We seek to stir the public opinion on the issue by disseminating ‘alerts’ available to everybody via a cell phone or PC.
I would like to inform you that yesterday the second meeting of the Task Force took place. We had a heated debate, which helped us understand more clearly what we want and what we can do. I hope some of you in the audience would be able to join this initiative.
The other day, my family and I celebrated the first birthday of my first great-granddaughter. She is one of those who will inherit our planet from us. We, who are past our life’s meridian, bear responsibility for the disastrous, virtually emergency state of our planet, our home. Therefore, we cannot sit idle. We must take action to assure our grandchildren and great-grandchildren of a future.
Here is a post that was shared in the New York anti-radical sex ed group:
🔥🔥Every year educators from around the country head to the CSE National Sex Ed Conference in New Jersey to participate in a 4 day conference where they learn all about teaching Comprehensive Sexuality Education in their classrooms.🔥🔥
Here are some of the names of the workshops that have been included in the conference in prior years:
Woman’s Anatomy of Sexual Arousal: Secret Maps to Buried Pleasure
Transgender Inclusive Sex Ed: The Basics and Beyond
Saying Yes to Consent: An Interactive Curriculum
Lust that Lasts: How to Inspire Sex-Positive Thinking about Older Age
Viva La Vulva: What’s Up With Down There?
Let’s Talk About Sex: Strategies for Teaching Sexual Education to Students from Conservative Religious and Cultural Backgrounds (In other words… how to separate children from their families beliefs and values. 😳🔥‼️)
Rural Rainbows: Starting an LGBTQ Youth Group in the Country
Developing an Online Sex Ed Scavenger Hunt (So dangerous‼️‼️‼️)
Teaching Condom Safety to an Audience with Special Needs
Make It Happen: Teaching Sex Ed without a Safety Net
Secrets of Male Pleasure Men’s Anatomy of Arousal
Walking in Her Shoes: Education About Abortion While Simultaneously Changing the Debate Around Reproductive Health Care
‼️‼️Massachusetts’ very own, Shira Cahn-Lipman has been a speaker at this conference in the past. Ms. Cahn-Lipman is the Manager of Youth and Professional Education at Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and is on the panel that is currently rewriting the sex ed standards for the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.‼️‼️
So, let’s summarize. Ms. Cahn-Lipman, who works for Planned Parenthood and attends and speaks at a conference that offers workshops titled “Viva La Vulva: What’s Up with Down There” is on the panel rewriting sex ed standards for what will be taught to YOUR CHILDREN.😳😳😳
Are you okay with this? ❓❓❓
See additional links below in the comments that verify the information I have posted here.
More Tulsa World propaganda here. George Kaiser Family Foundation and Tulsa Community Foundation are promoting an engineered society right here in Tulsa. If you want to know why a fine liberal arts university is being destroyed (complete with harsh retaliation against those professors who have been courageous enough to decry it), if you want to know why Tulsa Public Schools is firing hundreds of people even as GKFF is supporting cyber training for every classroom, if you want to know why preschoolers are data-mined with SurveillancePlaytables, look no further than a Malthusian program of SocialEngineering. Ole George has a dream for a Beta City, and Tulsa is unlucky enough to be his raw material. And Oakland, too. Oakland and Tulsa are in the same petri dish. See: https://sandiegofreepress.org/2018/04/oakland-is-californias-destroy-public-education-petri-dish/#.XlLg-B5ME0N
And the post that she quoted:
With optimism and revenue soaring, Flipcause, a software company based in Oakland, California, recently made a bold move.
“If you want to know why a fine liberal arts university is being destroyed (complete with harsh retaliation against those professors who have been courageous enough to decry it)…” Can you elaborate with examples of the harsh retaliation?
Here’s what’s happened to Jake. He’s by no means the only one.😧
thanks, I had forgotten about this sordid episode. There are others as well as a plethora of more subtle pressures to shut up and get with the program! NEVER!!!
i’ve been hearing that TPS teachers are afraid of retaliation as well. Maybe not by 900-partner law firm, but by being black-balled if they ever tried to get a position in another nearby district. 😢
I never thought about owning a gun until I my former principal retaliated against me. However, there enough teachers who have escaped that other districts realize TPS’ bullshit.
And another post from her:
Community-based schools are being pushed by education reformers in Tulsa. Union Public Schools, and Eugene Fields and Kendall-Whittier elementary schools in Tulsa Public are paradigmatic examples. ImpactTulsa, part of tbe StriveTogether network, will expand this model throughout its partner school districts. This is about DataCapture.
Skills mapping. For human capital futures markets. This is digital slavery, people.
Let’s imagine you have a child who is 13 years old. If this awful scheme becomes standard practice in 5 years (as it will if no one opposes it), your child will be skills-rated (including soft- skills and personality traits) so that employers and HuCap market speculators can make a solid bid on her. Pre-K and K-12 are doing the same things, so if you have a 2 year old now, his permanent skills map would begin to be added to blockchain at 7 years old. And what if, when he’s 11 years old, his map shows that he’d be a phenomenal musician. But the OneBorg doesn’t need any more musicians. It needs remote drone operators. What happens then? Impact intervention time! Re-tool that 11 year old so that once he’s of age to work, he won’t miss his cello at all. In fact, he’ll be glad he was ridded of it! But market speculators love wild cards. They have amazing upside potential. So who knows? He might get to keep his cello after all. Let’s just hope he’s not being shorted.
so many things wrong with this! The mental disorder analogy, the fact that this one is well-written as far as these articles go, the Lumina Foundation involvement. Pseudo-humanity choosing to deform itself and taking the rest of us down too. I just saw a Lumina funded report about student success coaches – the mappers of this grotesque. American Council on Education is also mentioned.
Explaining higher education through legos. No, seriously. Real legos. Or maybe virtual legos?
“At the kickoff of his talk, Michael M. Crow elaborated about how a universal learning system should be designed and what building blocks would be needed to create a new university.”
Guess what? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has a program called “The Honesty Gap” that rates each of the fifty states according to how closely State reports of student proficiency levels reflect NAEP standards. States that match the NAEP standards are labeled as “Top Truth Tellers” while States like Oklahoma are “Honesty Challenged.”
In the technocratic future, Trust is an all-important asset. That’s why the social impact investors from the Chamber of Commerce have to take over hospitals and universities – like St. John Health System and the University of Tulsa. It’s because most of us would be horrified to know how impact investors are experimenting on vulnerable people and setting up a reality that looks like The Hunger Games. So impact investors do this work through a “trusted partner” whose activities aren’t likely to be scrutinized. Here are the buzzwords: Fidelity, loyalty, sharing culture, true commitment, strive together, rowing in unison, mission aligned, etc.
Labeling Oklahoma as “Honesty Challenged” is quite a reprimand, then! And it paves the way for all sorts of honesty impact pilots. With lie detector tests perhaps? Or maybe just FB’s fact-checkers. Either way, this is quite a disturbing acceptance of thought-police tactics by the U.S. Chamber. Maybe that’s why so many of the Chamber of Commerce folks are so susceptible to group think.
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
If we don’t stand against the Sex-Ed Mandate now, this is next for MA. In fact, Jeff Perrotti of the Safe Schools Program for LGBTQ Youth said as much at a presentation he gave in Newbury last spring. I attended this event along with a friend. I could hardly believe what I heard.
Jeff opened the evening by introducing himself and declaring he was there to “gay up the school.” He then immediately began to explain the function that his department serves in the schools and what he is responsible for specifically. Here’s the list: develop policy, conduct training for teachers, administrators, and student leaders, coordinate student leadership councils, develop and implement inclusive curriculum to teach LGBTQ human sexuality and gender, and to implement LGBTQ content across the curriculum, in other words to extend LGBTQ lessons and the plethora of gender pronouns throughout all subjects. I imagine this might show up in things like math word problems, inserting content into English and writing lessons, like using the pronoun “they” to refer to a single non-binary identifying person, history, etc.
It was this presentation that so alarmed me and motivated me to do deeper research. The more I learned about what was happening in MA schools, the more concerned I became. I began to understand that our children were in real danger and that they were being indoctrinated and sexualized with my tax dollars. Fast forward six months and Massachusetts informed Parents was launched.
Parents and concerned citizens, it is time to engage and to stay engaged. Momentary outrage doesn’t accomplish much. This will be a long and hard fight. But our children are worth it. Invite all of your like-minded friends to join MIP!
I am a longtime educator in New Jersey and I am adamantly opposed to what is occurring here and am fighting against it at every turn. This is an extremely aggressive agenda and will require outside helping hands. Regarding this agenda, it is my belief that we are a test state for the Northeast and after this takes hold here, [name redacted] is correct in stating that it will most assuredly be adopted in Massachusetts. I think this is a federal issue where in this LGBT curriculum mandate is in direct conflict with religious rights and freedoms. It is designed in Most states so that there is no opt-out. It is absolutely unconstitutional but scores of clergymen refuse to step up in opposition and that is one reason why this cancer is spreading so quickly. These are leaders in our communities and this is when we need them most. It is up to us to push clergy men and women to be at the Forefront of this fight. They are very influential and lead the masses. If ever we needed to hear from them, it is now. It is an outrage and an affront to God for clergymen to suggest that this is a political issue. This is very much a moral fight ________–
Thanks for sharing . Of course this is not without precedent. I have this saved . From Medical News & Perspectives – August 12, 1998: Melvin Sabshin, MD, who recently retired after 23 years as medical director of the APA, recalled “tumultuous” demonstrations by gay activists objecting to the classification of homosexuality as an illness and by Vietnam War protesters at the APA’s annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif, in 1970, a year when he served as program director. “It was guerrilla theater,” he said, “with lots of hard words,” so disruptive, in fact, that the APA hired a security consultant to try to ensure more orderly demonstrations at future annual meetings. Homosexuality was removed from the list of disorders by the board of the APA in 1973. In 1974 only 58 percent, a small majority, voted to support the board. “Gay and lesbian psychiatrists,” Cabaj said, “have worked within the APA, some holding high elective offices, and within the medical and larger community. After lobbying unsuccessfully to keep military psychiatrists from being seated in the APA assembly because they did not adhere to the APA’s guidelines on gay rights, Cabaj said, the gay groups sought to “educate” military psychiatrists about the “ethical bind” they were in. From wikipedia: In 1971, members of the Gay Liberation Front organization sabotaged an APA conference in San Francisco. From Newsweek magazine: Here’s what actually happened, according to the August 23, 1971 edition of Newsweek (cited here), … it is the psychiatrists who have experienced the full rage of the homosexual activists. Over the past two years, gay-lib organizations have repeatedly disrupted medical meetings, and three months ago – in the movements most aggressive demonstration so far – a group of 30 militants broke into a meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in Washington, where they turned the staid proceedings into near chaos for twenty minutes.‘We are here to denounce your authority to call us sick or mentally disordered,’ shouted the group’s leader, Dr. Franklin Kameny, while the 2,000 shocked psychiatrists looked on in disbelief.‘For us, as homosexuals, your profession is the enemy incarnate. We demand that psychiatrists treat us as human beings, not as patients to be cured!’ And that was just the beginning according to author Ryan Sorba. Citing pages 130-131 of The Gay Crusaders, a history of the homosexual movement authored by homosexual activists Kay Tobin and Randy Wicker, Sorba writes, On June 7, 1971, Franklin Kameny wrote a letter to the Psychiatric News threatening the APA with not only more, but worse, disruptions. In this letter he states,“Our presence there was only the beginning of an increasingly intensive campaign by homosexuals to change the approach of psychiatry toward homosexuality or, failing that, to discredit psychiatry.” Following these threats the APA’s Board of Trustees decided to remove homosexuality from its official list of psychiatric disorders. It is interesting that the three great pioneers of psychiatry – Freud, Jung and Adler – all saw homosexuality as disordered. And, while it is true that by the 1970s many psychiatrists had a different opinion, it was not science that ultimately settled the question; it was threats and intimidation. There is your proof that it was political pressure, not solid science, that got homosexuality removed from the APA’s list of mental disorders.
The narrative of the LGBTQ lobby is so deeply entrenched and the social price to oppose them so high that many prefer to be silent. We can not be silent any longer. When we are silent they own the narrative; when we speak we create our own narrative. Our children are being harmed. Our society is being harmed. We no longer have the luxury of letting others speak for us while staying in the shadows. Be brave, speak out, talk to your family and friends,call your legislators. Be heard
TX is a non-common core state but it’s not what you think. Apparently parents & teachers got together to keep elements of it – MATH!!! What’s shocking is that my Kinder grandson’s Christian school has it. Totally upset. If I read correctly schools are not required to use it. Am I correct? I’ll check the files also. 🙂 I’ve been looking online for articles/videos of how it is dumbing down kids and the whole system is failing. I want to take it to the administrators. Thank you so much for helping!
BLOOMBERG. You know it’s bad when a recent article in TIME Magazine (Salesforce) referred to him as “Peak Billionaire.”
This chilling post was written for Tulsa and for the cities like ours that have been targeted for a Peak Billionaire takeover. Bloomberg is a partner in Blue Meridian, a social impact investing collaboration, with our local billionaires. It makes sense, then, that Tulsa is on Bloomberg’s hit list. Moreover, Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum works with Bloomberg through Results for America, Behavioural Insights, and Cities of Service, to name a few interlocks.. Tulsa is test location for Harvard Gov Lab and Aspen Institute programs, and the Tulsa Community Foundation has given millions of dollars to the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City. And have you noticed all those intrusive security cams at every intersection? Thanks, Bloomberg! What about the Tulsa Regional Chamber’s transportation plan? Bloomberg and UN SDGs. New America, Raikes Foundation… we’ve got it all.
Become educated about this. And for goodness’ sake, don’t take the money!
The ubiquitous push for lifelong-learning is related to the massive upcoming disruption to traditional occupations by Artificial Intelligence. This not only affects unskilled labor, it will affect white collar professions – including doctors and lawyers – that provide services which can be delivered virtually or through smart contracts. A lot of educated people will be without work, and they will need to be managed and re-tooled so that a civil crisis doesn’t threaten the hedge funds. How to control people, then? Lifelong-learning! The Soviets knew how effective bread lines were for keeping the peace. Lifelong-learning is the new bread line.
See this post about athletics and social engineering. The University of Tulsa is testing the SHAPE program that’s mentioned in this post, as well as doing brain-trauma research. Want to know why Union is building a new stadium and TU won’t give up football? BRAIN STUDIES. I think I recall that Frederic Dorwart was on the Tulsa Stadium Trust board. The physical fitness and brain studies coincides with the ed-reformers’ militarization of education. Several ed reform groups are advocating for a military service year requirement after high school. The fitness impact studies aim to ensure that students are physically ready for military duties.
S.B. 136 Healthy Lifestyles Revisions will remove the prohibition on advocacy of contraceptive methods or devices (line 68), which means condoms could be handed out freely in class & demonstrated how they should be used (contraceptives are covered as part of our current sex ed, but they cannot be given out to students & advocated for). This bill also removes “marriage and fidelity after marriage” (line 60-61) from being taught as part of our abstinence-based sex ed & changes it to Comprehensive Sex Ed (all of the problems we had with the inappropriate Health CoreGuide resources will then be allowed to be integrated into the curriculum permanently).
“This is stuff that we do to animals in the wild and pets,” said Liz O’Sullivan, technology director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project. “It’s inhumane.”
Scary stuff. Watch this video..looks like prison monitors instead of a school . “The clip showed a man stealing a bag and then using logs of phone data collected throughout the day to match his identity with video footage. Inpixon calls this “RF Video Connector,” and Ali noted that this technique could also be used in schools. While Ali maintained that the data collected from schools is anonymized, much of what it collects from devices are persistent identifiers and can be easily engineered to figure out who a person is. ” (video from article)

EU poised to create massive transatlantic facial-recognition database …to link with facial-recognition database in US
“The EU is laying the groundwork for a massive international facial recognition database that may someday hook into the one maintained by the US, according to leaked internal documents.
National police forces of 10 EU member states are calling for a legal framework to create a massive system of interlinked facial recognition databases “as quickly as possible,” a report leaked to the Intercept on Friday reveals. Austria is leading the way on the project, which was still in its early phases as of November, when the report initially circulated among EU officials.
Produced as part of a project to expand Prüm, the EU-wide database-cross-referencing system that already allows for all-at-once scanning of individual DNA, fingerprint, and vehicle registration databases, the report calls for EU legislation that would create and connect country-level facial recognition databases, potentially all the way to the US. Because the US already has a Prüm-like exchange in place with countries that are part of the Visa Waiver Program, including most EU member states, some – including the alarmed EU official who allegedly leaked the report to the Intercept – believe any future facial recognition database network would include the US by default…Because the US Department of Homeland Security has required participants in the Visa Waiver Program to adopt data-sharing agreements ever since 2015, any facial recognition databases constructed going forward would presumably have their contents shareable with the US. This has been something the US has pursued in Brussels since at least 2001, when Washington negotiated a pair of agreements to share both analytical and personal data between Europol and US law enforcement agencies; however, Europol’s inability to collect the data itself meant it was dependent on what was supplied by member states. A facial recognition database in every nation, hooked into a central data-sharing network, creates an enviable transatlantic trough at which everyone’s law enforcement can feed…”
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO EARLY CHILD CARE AND LEARNING, ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, HOME VISITATION, CHILD WELFARE, PUBLIC HEALTH, AND HEALTH CARE, INCLUDING WOMEN’S HEALTH CARE.
The bill directs the department of human services (department) to design, implement, and operate a statewide program of early childhood mental health consultation (program). The purpose of the program is to support mental health care across the state in a variety of early childhood settings and practices. Specifically, the program must be designed to:
Increase the number of qualified and appropriately trained early childhood mental health consultants (mental health consultants) for on-site consultations; and Utilize the mental health consultants, through on-site visits, to support a variety of early childhood settings and practices from the prenatal period through 8 years of age.
The program must also include a:
Model of consultation for mental health consultants (model) that includes job qualifications and expectations, expected outcomes, and guidance on ratios of mental health consultants and the settings they support. The model must include standards and guidelines for mental health consultants developed from evidence-based programs. Professional development plan for mental health consultants; Certification process for mental health consultants; and A published list of certified mental health consultants.
The bill requires the department to actively collect data related to the program and make regular reports on the program to the joint budget committee of the general assembly and as part of its annual “State Measurement for Accountable, Responsive, and Transparent (SMART) Government Act” hearing.

Colorado. Annual mental health exam for kids (amending my post– I am asking legislators to ASK if this covers children, students in k-12 schools. Willing to publicly recant, hope I am wrong, but I would bet money that its intent is to have insurance pay for mental health assessments in schools. prove me wrong.) What could go wrong? Suggest every legislator who votes yes must also be subjected to a mental health exam. We need to know the mental state of those dictating our future. Here’s the bill
“THE HOME VISITING EXPANSION GRANT PROGRAM IS ESTABLISHED IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT. THE PURPOSE OF THE GRANT PROGRAM IS TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES SERVED BY HOME VISITING MODELS THROUGHOUT THE STATE, THUS IMPROVING SCHOOL READINESS FOR COLORADO CHILDREN.” Of course, it says it’s “voluntary” the sentence sounds exactly like the bill we had here in WA
until it is revoked
yep, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the word “voluntary”, struck from legislation….
HOME VISITING” OR “HOME VISITING SYSTEM” What is the difference between the 2? Sounds like the act of HomeVisiting itself, and whatever “system” your state (or local community) chooses.
“If data collection isn’t the main focus of Home Visit programs, ask WHY, in states like Washington, amendments (below) to protect personal information, make data collection and sharing voluntary and transparent, have been killed. With every state bill posted below, we wonder if bill sponsors would consider adding opt-in CONSENT and transparency before personal information is collected and shared.”
like how they removed voluntary from similar WA bill…
“(b) THE STATE DEPARTMENT SHALL CONTRACT WITH THE INTERMEDIARY ORGANIZATION THAT IS DESIGNATED BY THE MODEL DEVELOPER TO REPRESENT THE MODEL AT THE STATE LEVEL SO THE INTERMEDIARY ORGANIZATION CAN ASSIST WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MODEL IT REPRESENTS.” The model developer that presented here to WA was from South Carolina
Would sure be interesting if a legislator would ask if this bill for annual mental health exams would apply to k-12 school based mental health assessments.
LOOK how many mental health bills Colorado is proposing. Most are for k-12 kids and families (home visits, prenatal through age 8 consultants and data collection). Tell me this is not over reach.
This is how they take control of your household and kids. What your kids say will be misconstrued and you will be reported on!
So far in Colorado, we have a pilot k-5 mental health assessment from 2019, and now bills to expand behavioral assessment training for teachers, $6Million for home visit grants, and a bill to implement a statewide mental health assessment program from prenatal through 8 years…which includes home visits, and now asking insurance to cover mental health assessments. So much for preserving individual freedom, protecting human rights and local control.
Check out a portion of Article 2, of Great Start in Minnesota, 5th revision. We see the common set of standards, RttT CCSS, but then in (3) our state is going to take over/fund both public and private childcare centers!!
funny toy shoukd mention early childhood / childcare. Colorado is following suit. 2020 childcare bills thus far.
When asked about breaches at Colo Dept of Health, if they’ve had any in recent years and how they disclose them, their legislative liason told the committee, “She’d have to get back to them about their breaches” (plural).
Super cool that they didnt admit this breach when asked, and can claim the data is “safe”. Just amazing that MOMS have to find this stuff, and legislators choose to ignore or look the other way when they vote.
And in case anyone who was on the committee wants to ask again, is the data reporting in CIIS covered by HIPAA? It is Exempt from #HIPAA, per the Dept of Health website. …but they still must log disclosures. Colorado Immunization Registry Act (Section 25-4-2403, CRS)
“The reporting of immunization data to the Colorado Immunization Information System is exempt from the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy Rule because it’s considered a public health activity. HIPAA allows public health authorities to collect immunization information without an authorization. The requirement to track disclosures of information still applies,”

Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
🔥🔥PARENTS OF ELEMENTARY AGE CHILDREN BEWARE 🔥🔥
Many school districts are teaching puberty lessons in grade 5. I have viewed some of the puberty curriculum and have discovered that these lessons include dangerous transgender ideology. Wet dreams and masturbation is also introduced.
One puberty curricula is P&G. While much of the content is well done and contains good information, there is also content that many parents will find objectionable. This is one of the ways children are being exposed to inappropriate material. The producers of the curriculum understand that if they do a good job of including relevant, scientific information, parents will be less likely to push back against brief mentions of inappropriate content. Parents who are voicing their objections to school officials are often being made to feel like they are unreasonable. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. You are not being unreasonable for voicing your concerns. Schools need to know that parents are paying attention.
The power of suggestion is a very real thing, most especially for young students who are naturally curious as their body begins to mature. Their curiosity is normal and parents should encourage their questions and have productive dialogue at home. However, if topics like masturbation and wet dreams are introduced at school without the parent’s knowledge or consent there is a real possibility that a student will search those terms on their devices and a parent may never know what kind of content their child is exposed to online as a result. Also, once these topics are mentioned to immature elementary students, peer conversations about what they learned in class will likely not be beneficial to them either.
View the teacher’s guide for the P&G curriculum online. The link is below. Here are some of the concerning elements:
On p. 7 under FAQ, wet dreams are discussed. Nocturnal emissions are a fact, but parents might not be comfortable with a teacher discussing this in class with their son, especially in a co-ed class. Not to mention how this might make your child feel as well.
On p. 22 under Staying Confident and Healthy discusses a growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset. Seems innocent enough at first glance, but this exact language is being used by people like Jeff Perrotti of the Safe Schools Program for LGBTQ Youth when he is indoctrinating students in transgender ideology. This language is meant to psychologically prepare students to accept things that are against what their parents have taught them (fixed mindset). One of the most concerning patterns I have identified in CSE is language that brings separation between students and parents.
On p. 24 under Sex, Gender & Society, dangerous transgender ideology is introduced.
On p. 26 under Healthy Relationships, in the section titled “Personal Intimacy” the idea of masturbation is introduced.
On p. 33 recommends It’s Perfectly Normal as a resource. I have featured this book on MIP before; it has 67 nude illustrations in it, including adults having sex, a male putting on a condom on an erect penis, and teens masturbating. It also discusses and normalizes LGBTQ ideology and is biased in favor of abortion. It equates an elective abortion to a woman having a miscarriage and does not mention any of the real risks, both physical and emotional, of having an abortion.
Technically, puberty education isn’t classified as sex ed, so this is how schools are beginning to include inappropriate content in elementary grades.
Ask the school officials in your child’s elementary school if puberty education is being taught and if so, what grades and what curriculum is being used. Send me the name of the curriculum and I will tell you what I know. Email me at massinformedparents@gmail.com.
“On Thursday, February 27, the Human Rights Campaign (the lobbying, fundraising, and activism organization that pushes LGB & TQ policies and interests into every aspect of national life) is holding its annual readings of I Am Jazz in public schools across the nation.”
I Am Jazz is a story book about Jazz Jennings, a boy who was socially transitioned into a girl at the age of five and who now at the age of 19 has undergone surgical transition. He is also the star of the reality TV show, I Am Jazz.
This young man’s story is truly tragic and heartbreaking. He has endured multiple complications from his bottom surgery, and has had to undergo additional surgeries as a result. He will never recover from the permanent mutilation of his body. None of the adults in his life protected him or provided him the psychological help he needed.
And now the Human Rights Campaign in coordination with schools all over the country will exploit him once again and seek to normalize this child abuse with their Annual I Am Jazz readings.
Find out if this is happening in your child’s school. If so, opt them out or keep them home. We need to collectively say, “Enough is enough!”
It’s focused on elementary kids. Last year in Arlington (VA) the HRC and NEA sent a transgender person to read “I Am Jazz” to two classes of kindergartners. No opt-out, very vague and cheery letter sent to parents less than a week ahead, just talking about a “wonderful event” for their children. ____–

Orgies in School Bathroom “Not necessary wrong?”
Tulsa Public Schools Director of Student Engagement, Stephanie Andrews, implies that it is the parents fault that students are having Orgies in school Bathrooms!
Stephanie Andrews states “I can’t say it’s normal for students to have Sex at schools necessary.”
She goes on to Imply that the reason students have Orgies and sex at school is because the “Parents don’t allow the students who are in love with each other,to see each other.”
Well Stephanie Andrews, because you are too Ignorant to know and understand that Sex and Orgies at school is Wrong, your Dumb Butt needs to be Fired.
For you to have the Audacity to say that Students don’t know that Sneaking into the bathroom to have a threesome is wrong, I would like to ask you, then why did they not do it in Class?
If having Sex in a School Bathroom is not “Necessary Wrong” then having sex in a parking lot or a Public Park or even an Airplane is not “Necessary Wrong.”
Stephanie Andrews, the reason why many Parents don’t allow Children who are, as you say “in Love”, to be alone is because we want our Children to focus on their Education.
We understand that sexual attraction is an issue, but we desire that our children are driven to improve their education, not their Sexual experiences, while at school.
Your response to this behavior at Booker T. Washington school, shows that it is your Perverted Aim as TPS Student Engagement Director, to encourage students to engage in Orgies and Sexual Activities at School because “Parents Don’t Allow Students to do such at Home”.
For this reason, your Perverted Backside should be Fired!
And another post from her:
Here’s a good example of “the nudge” in action. This nudge was used on college students in order to promote their return to Tulsa. Is this an ethical practice? We should be having this conversation.
“Brian Paschal, Senior Vice President, Education & Workforce, Tulsa Regional Chamber, OK Project: Boomerang Project: Boomerang is a strategic outreach program designed to increase Tulsa’s bachelor degree attainment rate by focusing on Tulsa’s graduating high school seniors attending college. The initiative will send targeted communications during their four years highlighting advancements in Tulsa’s quality of life and educating them on career awareness and intern and job opportunities. The program will leverage volunteers from Tulsa’s Young Professionals to host events specific to graduating seniors and college students, including college outreach visits and a “Summer Sendoff” celebration in early August. The goal is to retain homegrown talent after they graduate from college and help increase the percentage of adults with a bachelor degree in the Tulsa MSA to 40%.”
It looks like Bernie Sanders is in favor of home visits, pre-k, and universal daycare, just like many GOP states. Also, the fact that he mentioned “ensure that all children have access to health and wellness services” means that he could also be open to Planned Parenthood clinics (with possible abortions without parental consent) and vaccination (without parental consent) as well as possible gender transition (again without parental consent) as well. He also mentioned spending $50 billion to give children access to summer programs and afterschool progarms (which are already tied to the Common Core agenda). Furthermore, he seems to have let the cat out of the bag as to what he intends. as far as expanding daycare. He has long talked about people needing to make “livable wages”. Nothing wrong with that and wanting things to be so that both parents don’t HAVE to work to make ends meet. In fact, it’s commendable. However, what gives the game away is that, rather than asking to have less daycare and have more stay at home parents, he is increasing the number of daycare workers. Why would someone do that if they planned to have livable wages so that both parents didn’t have to work anymore and thus wouldn’t need daycare in the first place?: https://berniesanders.com/issues/free-child-care-and-pre-k-all/
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Federal Reserve Officials Are Eager to Follow China’s Authoritarian Lead
Not surprisingly, authoritarian regimes such as Venezuela and China are leading the way in rolling out their own cryptocurrencies. But the U.S. may not be far behind.
Consider what Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard said at a recent conference hosted by Stanford University: “By transforming payments, digitalization has the potential to deliver greater value and convenience at lower cost.”
These are selling points for Bitcoin. But Brainard clearly isn’t a fan of this and other cryptos gaining wider use in the free-market. “Some of the new players are outside the financial system’s regulatory guardrails, and their new currencies could pose challenges in areas such as illicit finance, privacy, financial stability and monetary policy transmission,” she said.
Her solution? Centralization.
Brainard noted that the Federal Reserve is “conducting research and experimentation related to distributed ledger technologies and their potential use case for digital currencies, including the potential for a CBDC (central bank digital currency).”
Fed chairman Jerome Powell has also taken a keen interest in the concept of central bank digital currency – i.e., Fedcoin.
“Having a single government currency at the heart of the financial system is something that has served us well. It’s a very, very basic thing, it really hasn’t been in question, and I think before we move away from that, we should really understand what we’re doing. Preserving the centrality of a central, widely accepted currency that is accepted and trusted is an enormously important thing.”
Venezuela issued a digital currency called the “petro” in early 2018 – primarily as a way of getting around U.S. sanctions. It is purportedly backed one-for-one by barrels of oil.
But the petro also circulates at a fixed exchange rate with the Venezuelan bolívar, giving officials the ability to devalue it at will.
The Venezuelan regime may ultimately seek to push its citizens out of physical bolívars entirely and into digital petros exclusively.
“The petro makes it much easier to monitor transactions — and punish those conducting transactions inconsistent with the prevailing government’s objectives,” explains William J. Luther of the American Institution for Economic Research. “By requiring petro use, the Maduro regime tightens its grip on power.
China’s central bank, meanwhile, is actively pursuing digital currency as a way of enforcing its “social credit score” system on its populace.
Even as Chinese authorities have banned most cryptocurrency mining and trading, they have invested heavily in centralized cryptocurrency infrastructure. China has reportedly filed 84 patents in pursuit of a new electronic currency payments system. – Stefan Gleason, Money Metals Exchange
Here is a post that was shared in a South Carolina anti-Common Core group:
The amendment will reportedly help more than 13,000 more children have access to K-4 programs in SC. Do you support it?
A federal lawsuit has been filed against South Carolina’s superintendent of education regarding a decades-old law that prohibits districts from including any discussion of alternative sexualities in their health education courses, except in the context of sexually transmitted diseases.
No. Nope nope nope nope. Just no. K-12 education should not be transformed into workforce training. We don’t need career readiness standards and employability assessments for children in Kindergarten or Elementary school.
Nov 2019. All4Ed today ^^^ announced their partnership in the NewDeal for Education with a network of partners including HP, Gates, Markle, Jobs for the Future, Aspen Institute, Joyce Foundation, Third Way, Center for American Progress, and “180 carefully-selected state and local officials below the level of Governor, from 47 states”. What’s this NewDeal about? Well, read it for yourself, but we see: School-to-Work pipeline, Workforce pathways, Workforce databadges, Social Impact Investment and shifting education from children learning knowledge to children being trained to fill the economic needs of a global workforce.
And some replies to this post:
They literally wrote why this is a bad idea in the background statements “to allow students to be prepared for the ever-changing need’s of today’s workforce.” Well if they’re students they should be looking at the FUTURE workforce, not today. And since those needs are “ever-changing” you will never know what to teach them. The only skill that meets that definition is an openness to novelty and willingness to tackle new skills. That is pretty much the definition of school from its inception. I agree no, no, no, but mostly cause this is just stupid. Also, employers should be doing and funding the training, not the taxpayer.
With all the layoffs for American IT workers recently, I hold no faith in these architects of education & their workforce agenda. It’s not such a great thing to learn to code for American students apparently. What’s the next best plan? 😏
Money talks and Bill Gates dictates k12 workforce policy in Colorado.
I think this man runs a shadow government in federal policy. It’s unbelievable the amount of influence this guy has with no accountability.

Tulsa World = impact media. Don’t be surprised (TU!) when it doesn’t cover your story. The Voice used to print your stories. What ever happened to The Voice, anyway??
And some replies to this post:
It was rolled into TulsaPeople Magazine
yes. The GK media machine basically shut it down because it was exposing the corruption at TU. Can we say thought police???
The Tulsa Voice was superfluous. It was a slightly younger, hipper version of Tulsa People, and published by the same people. The publisher depends upon the good will of Tulsa’s big shots and was never going to publish any investigative report that might embarrass somebody important. This Land Press and Urban Tulsa Weekly were the last print outlets that might have gone there. Sadly, when This Land publisher Michael Mason led an investigative reporting class at TU that looked into the GKFF web of connections, the students didn’t want their work published at the end of the semester, for fear of hurting their prospects.
I agree 100%. I was told that the Tulsa Voice got a call from some of Kaiser’s folks who warned them to stop printing the TU stories. It wasn’t long after that TV was transitioned to the online-only format. The propagandists are absolutely shameless. TU’s psych dept (which, for obvious reasons, was well-represented on the PPRC) is involved in trauma studies of journalists and affiliated with the Dana Center at Colombia. I think that’s one reason why the Collegian runs GKFF propaganda. I think the controversy at OU over the journalism prof’s use of a racially-charged word is motivated by a similar effort to control student publications and indoctrinate the next gen of impact media journalists. More than a few stdent newspapers have been under attack for not showing sufficient empathy in their reporting. It’s shameful all the way around, and it shows us that this deform program depends on creating a class of opportunistic followers. Really awful.

“Raiche found that even if an individual attended every single school board meeting, and read all the supporting agendas and minutes, that person would have no idea that the district has been shelling out a lot of money to settle most of these claims.”
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell: Knowing IBM’s role in providing technological infrastructure for and profiting from the Holocaust, why would any city follow that company’s recommendation to create a digital “federated citizen” in the cloud? That suggestion was proposed in the final report for the 2011 IBM funded smart city program for Philadelphia. Look to this history. What are we prepared to do to stop Blockchain ID?
And here is a post from another friend of mine: I’ve been saying that the days of LIBRARIES and BOOKS are numbered. Libraries will be repurposed as maker spaces and digital literacy hubs, with a friendly Starbucks barista (robot?) to make sure you experience a perfect unicorn frappe. There are MANY reasons why this ought to frighten thoughtful people, but I’ll mention only one: when books, papers, films, and artwork are accessible only through digital platforms, all our encounters with them will be tracked by big-tech/data and those encounters will be recorded permanently on a blockchain ledger. When we consider the hyper-sensitive climate of the academy and the public sphere as well as the insatiable drive for signals intelligence to feed the predictive-risk-profiling machine, it’s not hard to imagine that the THOUGHT-POLICE will have a heyday with blockchain records of our reading history. If anyone can still read, that is. https://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/learning-innovation/reading-‘secondhand’-and-thinking-about-all-those-books-academics-own?utm_content=buffer3f8a7&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=IHEbuffer&fbclid=IwAR2yEhTvmnzYE85AdIiMF1A9lQTZLF1CG7KXgdREIXe0WYvbOpkpdyi0scw
Here is a post from the California anti-radical sex ed group: The Washington house committee has just passed a bill mandating that sex ed be taught in lower grades such as kinder. They will ween parents Into accepting this by completing the implementation over 2 years. 😡 I would not be surprised if California tried to pull this stunt. Kindergarten age children DO NOT NEED SEX ED. The California Healthy Youth act has a gauging loophole which allows school districts to teach sex ed in ANY GRADE that the district decides to teach it. It is going to have to be up to us , the parents, to make sure we remain informed as to what will be taught and when. In order to protect your children. . Here is a link to the bill: https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=5395&Initiative=false&Year=2019
And yet another post from this group: Does anyone know about this science curriculum: Amplify Science? Asking Bc this was sent out a few weeks ago, and I see how the materials are available for public preview and also a public hearing will be held regarding the new curriculum. Is it controversial in any way?! Am I reading into this? With the way schools are now, I question everything. Thanks!
Regardless of whether a parent agrees with having this in a textbook, I don’t see how someone’s physical persona is relevant in a science textbook. This has nothing to do with metabolism as your photo shows the chapter should be about.
The Fairness Act requires LGBT contributions to be included throughout the curriculum.
what grade is this book?
it appears to be 7th grade in the top two photos and 6th grade in the bottom photo. 🙂
Yes, grades 6 and 7.
I am in Alta Loma district and I have a hearing March 4th for the same new text.
My sons use the Amplify. My 7th graders teacher won’t provide him a workbook- when they do- they are the workbooks used only during class not to be brought home until the semesters already over. Now I know why. I’ll be looking into this
New Generation Science Standards are terrible! The Thomas Fordham Institute reviewed NGSS and gave it a C- grade, compared to the A they gave California’s former science standards. I would highly suggest getting a copy of their “Final Evaluation of the Next Generation Science Standards” dated June 13, 2013.
In Nevada, they are adding all kinds of things into the curriculum. My daughter came home the other day and told me she was shown a movie on how dangerous it is if you don’t have all of your vaccines. When she asked her science teacher to share the research behind the movie, she said, “I don’t really know much about that. We are just being told to show every 6th grader this movie as part of the curriculum.”
Wow, so our children are taught by mindless drones. If teachers and parents join up and say no more then we can be a force to be reckoned with.
the problem is that teachers are no longer allowed to think for themselves to teach; in order to keep their jobs, they are brainwashed into teaching our children what to think on every topic instead of how to analyze and explore information to develop informed opinions/beliefs/conclusions.
Interesting. I don’t know what the laws are in Nevada but in California I believe children over 12had the right to choose vaccines without parental consent. I didn’t double check this but since they have privacy once they turn 12 I would imagine it is the case.
And another post from this group: Teaching kids about sex in the 2nd and 3rd grade. I’m not ok with that!
And some replies to this post:
How is multiple sclerosis teaching about sex?
Did you read the top part? I think people should be recognized for their accomplishments but their sexual preferences should be their own business, not my child’s. A child doesn’t not even know what attraction or sex is at this age. I find it extremely inappropriate.
Wasn’t Harvey Milk a pedophile?
Yes, his boyfriend was only 16!
Pedophiles are someone who is attracted to prepudecent. 16 is not that. Don’t get me wrong, it’s wrong but he wasn’t a pedophile.
The picture above is from Pearson Publishing’s MyWorld Interactive. Senate Bill 48 requires the historical contributions of all individuals to be included in our social studies books, however, George Takai, Chaz Bono, Charley Parkhurst, Julio Surria and Harvey Milk are included beginning in the second grade. Sally Ride is also included, and although she is definitely known for her historical contribution, she is listed as the “first Lesbian in space.” Why do we need to know her sexual preference. Second graders are also exposed to a gay rights’ timeline. They aren’t even taught the timeline of California, so there should be no reason to teach them a gay rights’ timeline.
I know the system. I was a teacher and school counselor. I sacrificed my life to care for children and protect them. I cannot properly protect children in the system the way that it is now. I am in tears because I cannot understand how anyone can drop their kid off at these public schools. Parents need to stop expecting that they can just drop their kid off with the wolves and it’s going to be okay. Change your life! I am damn poor now! I don’t care. I will sacrifice anything I need to in order to save my children.
I honestly do not think it is a wise choice to drop off your child everyday, but we all make choices. Do you know how many nights I have tossed and turned feeling sick and worried about the children in public schools? I have insomnia about it. 💔 Too many families are broken! They need to learn to work together for the sake of their children. People need to set aside their ego in wanting a successful career instead of raising their children properly! People need to learn to live with less material possessions and use the few years we have with our children to protect and love them. It is the hours. No, it’s not “quality time”… It’s actual time and sacrifice. We are free, because we sacrifice for the freedom. We have been brainwashed to think we need public schools, when we don’t. You decide if you want to be free. (I apologize for any words spelled incorrectly. I was crying when I typed it and it was hard to see.)
My Son wrote this. We pulled him out of our “top-rated” public school after 1st grade. Only sorry we waited that long…Never sorry again.
Thank you for posting this. It’s good to protect him, as you are teaching him to speak up for others. I also took my oldest daughter out after 1st grade. We had her in a Christian school and after we paid they told the parents at a meeting they were now doing common core! The parents were shocked.
The above noted school is non-federally funded. They refuse CC; they refuse [NY] Regents; they refuse CSE [Ghastly new sex-ed]; they refuse to allow access to strangers and have armed guards. I wish I had such an opportunity, but to be fair, a million years ago when I went to p.s., it wasn’t half as awful as it has become. Your story is infuriating. You’ve been saddened by learning that you can’t save all the children. Meanwhile, failed altruists continue to redesign and tweak “the system.” I am here to let parents know they should RUN.
According to Brad Dacus, an attorney with Pacific Justice Institute, teachers will be tracked and monitor beginning in 2021 to ensure they are promoting the LGBT agenda, because of AB493
The last social studies assignment my daughter brought home that I reviewed, I told her this is not studies, but rather gossip. She agreed, and told her teacher what I said. He laughed and said he also agrees
And yet another post from this group:
Looking for some input. Here is the situation: Our two daughters go to a charter school in Vista. One is in 7th and the other is in 3rd and my wife is actually a teacher at the school. Recently they did the Comprehensive Sex Education program for the 7th graders. It was the ‘Making Proud Choices’ curriculum put on by a local ‘health’ clinic. We went to the parent information night and there were 3 other parents there besides us. Upon reviewing the curriculum, we were shocked at how explicit it was. (DM me if you want the links or name of the school or anything). Two solid weeks – 10 hours of endless instruction on gender theory, proper condom application, role playing in sexual situations, anal sex, oral sex, masturbation and so on. We opted her out. But of course knowing that kids talk, we were distressed about the reality our daughter was still going to get truckloads of TMI she is not ready to process from her friends (in some ways she is mature but she also still plays Barbies with her 3rd grade sister). I wrote to the curriculum director and asked who was in charge of this. He pointed me to the athletic director. I emailed him and expressed our concerns. I was given a canned response about parents being able to opt out, CHYA approved by CA and so on. In the meantime I did hours of research on what other charter schools are doing. Many were making the Sex Ed an independent study program the parents were to take home and do with their kid or choose not to. I wanted to present this to the decision makers at the school as a better option which would put the curriculum in the hands of the parents so they knew exactly what was being taught. I got stonewalled again by the athletic director who then sent me back to the curriculum director. During the back and forth emails, the Sex Ed started and JUST AS I PREDICTED, our daughter came home saying, “What is up with oral sex, condoms and masturbation?!?!” She also said that many of her friends who went to the classes were traumatized by it all and wanted to leave. I wrote the curriculum director and told him exactly what happened and said we would like to explore different options that insure every parent knows exactly what is being taught. Here is one key factor – there is a very high percentage of Hispanics at the school (65%) and many of the parents barely speak English. I wrote the health director and asked if the curriculum was available in Spanish. He said no. So a major concern is how do they expect parents to make an informed decision about whether their child is ready to receive the info when they might not be able to read it? Here is my last email to the curriculum director: “If what was presented to the administration was the same or similar to what the clinic presented on the information night, it lacks many specifics of what is taught. A general overview of the curriculum is insufficient in making an informed decision as to the appropriateness and necessity of the subject matter especially for the younger age group. The information night provided by the school and the clinic is also inadequate in conveying to parents the explicit content and the importance for them to thoroughly review it. It wasn’t until we attended the meeting and got the links to view the actual content were we able to review it. The school also failed in stressing to parents the importance of knowing exactly what will be taught and if it is right for their child. The fact only five parents were at the presentation is evidence of that. We are also curious as to whether the curriculum is available to parents whose primary language is not English. As I suspected, although we opted our daughter out of the curriculum, she has had to listen to other students discuss subjects she was not ready to deal with. This has created an uncomfortable school environment for her and undermined us as parents in choosing the appropriate time, place and situation to discuss with her such topics. She is also not alone in her reaction to the subject matter. When asked what the students said about the topics her answer was one word: ‘traumatizing’. A couple of her friends said they wanted to leave but were afraid to do so. In the Education code section 5193, the very first section (a) says ‘Instruction and materials shall be age appropriate’. When the CDC reports sexual activity for 12 and under is 4%, topics such as proper condom usage is clearly not appropriate for that age. But the people who are to best determine what is age appropriate for their children are the parents/guardians and they are not being adequately informed about the nature of the material when they very easily could be. I would like to request our concerns be addressed and changes be made to better inform parents about what is being taught to their children and we have ideas of how that can be easily accomplished. From my understanding the very reason charter schools exist is because parents wanted more involvement and choice with students’ education. Health and sex education is obviously part of that and I assume this school would consider the parents to be the primary educators of their children and the role of the school is to partner and support the parents in that education. Please let me know how we can move forward with getting our requests addressed.” Here is his response: “Thank you for your email. While I can understand your concern, as an organization we feel that this program and curriculum best meets the needs of our students. With that said, we will take your comments, and any additional parent feedback into consideration as we move forward.” In other words – GO AWAY. I am probably banging against a wall here but I am wondering what to do next. We are likely going to pull our kids out next year because this has so fried us, but we find it sad so many kids are getting this overload of info without their parents even knowing. I believe most of the parents at a charter school care enough about their kids to fill out the paper work, get in the lottery and so on so it’s not like they could care less. It’s just that the school is not making the effort to make sure the parents are involved and aware, ESPECIALLY the families whose first language is not English. These parents are getting duped into thinking it’s such a better school than the public cesspool down the street (Vista public schools SUCK) but it’s just another ‘leave the child raising to us’ school. The families that care enough to attempt to give their kids a better education probably would likely not be happy knowing their 12 year olds are learning about condoms and gay sex. It would be SO easy to at least provide links to the curriculum. Thoughts?
And some replies to this post:
This is so sad. The damage on our kids is inexcusable, and unfortunately your story has been repeated many times over -families get very inadequate response from the school administrators about their concerns. We have this coming to our charter school this year – I’ve have tried to be ahead of the curve but seems inevitable since all of those state approved curriculums are bad or worse. And I have found that other parents either don’t believe it can be that bad, don’t want to deal with it, or shockingly some don’t have a problem with it.
I have shared what is happening in public schools with many parents that do not speak English and the majority are unaware of what’s going on. I know they care, but the language barrier contributes to the lack of involvement with the schools.
This was a good description of the whole situation and I had a very, very similar experience in 7th grade at a Carlsbad school. I still wonder why, WHY more parents are not up in arms about this? Like you, I was one of only a few parents that reviewed the curriculum and opted my child out. The next year we left the school. I am starting to wonder if it is the nature of the material. Maybe parents are uncomfortable discussing such indecent material with other parents at school they do not know well? “Hi, I’m Johnny’s mom. Just wondering, are you OK with your child learning about oral and anal?” I can see that being an issue but we have to look out for our kids! Right now there are very few of us taking a stand and it is easy for the schools to ignore us.
Agreed! I have given a CSE presentation to hundreds of parents and very few have taken any action. It’s truly unbelievable to me! Parents need to research Advocates for Youth and SIECUS to learn that sex Education is evil at its core. It is based on Alfred Kinsey’s ideology and was designed to sexualize our children, NOT protect them. It is also grooming them for human trafficking.
It’s horrible I don’t know what to say except that here in NJ we have an opt out that no one tells you that you have. We have no link to a curriculum. We met with the superintendent and assistance and they couldn’t tell us where the curricula Come from. And for the opt out. It’s written someone vaguely in the student / parent handbook which is hundreds of pages and you’re supposed to figure out you have an opt out and ask for it. But the teacher still gives the kid a book to read just doesn’t talk about it. It’s the same garbage, different toilette.
Can you imagine how hard this will hit this Hispanic parents when they find out what their children are being taught with the language barrier making it that much more difficult.
I watched a Spanish speaking man speak before the Instructional Quality Commission last March. With tears, he begged them not to teach this to children, especially since he has struggled with masturbation since he was 11.
After 110 people spoke, the IQC thanked us but said, “We are moving forward.”😡
And here is a post that was shared in this group: This happened in an Indiana middle school. It isn’t just in health class. Your child can be exposed at assemblies as well.
And yet another post from this group:
So last week. My daughter got a new 1st grade teacher mid-school year.
Yesterday she came home from school extremely upset. We couldn’t even get out of the parking lot before the tears started. This is a little girl who loves school and has never cried after school. She proceeds to tell me, a new little boy threw a pencil during class. The teacher then blamed my daughter without any proof or actually seeing who threw it. She then gave my daughter a stop and think (mind u in 3 years she has never had a stop and think) where she made her write a note home with the untrue statement, “I threw a pencil”. You can imagine how devastating this was to my daughter.
I emailed the teacher addressing my concerns. At that point she responded with. “Your child threw a pencil and then wasn’t upfront with me nor would she admit to it when I asked her about it so I gave her a stop and think”. I responded, asking the teacher if her or anyone actually saw my child throw the pencil? She said no.
Not only did this teacher accuse my daughter of something she didn’t do but this teacher made a public example of her in front of her classmates. Then continued to call my daughter a liar!
This is not sitting well with me. My daughter should not have been made to feel the way this teacher made her feel. It’s completely unprofessional and counterproductive to a healthy learning environment.
To make sure I had all the facts, I phoned a few of her classmates parents. They asked their children about the incident and all confirmed it was in fact the new little boy threw the pencil…. As my daughter had originally said.
I have set up a meeting with principal and teacher for Monday.
Any thoughts? Or has anyone experienced anything similar?
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
FYI Louisiana : Universal mental health screening bill filed. Don’t be fooled by words wrapped in beneficent language. The unintended consequences of schools playing psychologist can be dangerous to children. This is the doorway to entering your home, monitoring, red flag laws, etc. Other states have already opened this door…
What happens if a bully in the room decides to use info gained in these sessions? How much private family info will be shared?
This is just another iteration of the failed conflict resolution program that I think lasted a year when I taught middle school.
“Take a look at the video embedded in this link where students sit around a circle discussing all kinds of problems. This is part of a Restorative Justice program used at many schools like Manchester.
Every school, I believe, now uses the Multi-Tiered System of Support MTTS-B for behavior modification. IT motes that this is TIER 1 and TIER 1 is aimed at all kids.
I will just say, it looks like group therapy inside the school. Interesting that they video tape the students and post it on the Internet. I do wonder about the qualifications and licensure of those who operate these sessions. Especially since it looks like all kinds of information on their family and their personal life may come up in the discussion.”
“Just so you know, SAU 16 (EXETER) uses surveillance technology (Social Sentinel) on students and their families:
Schools are also watching students online, and on their phones. Social media monitoring company Social Sentinel offers software to monitor students’ social media accounts, not unlike what the Department of Homeland Security regularly does to immigrants and Americans.”
Reaching Higher NH (community organizers) founded by progressives in NH (Former State Board of Ed Members Tom Raffio and Bill Duncan) push federal education fads on NH schools. Reaching Higher NH also assisted Manchester Proud with a PLAN for Manchester schools that included paying $30k to another organization (Community Organizers) in DUES to push MORE federal fads on the Manchester schools.
EXCERPT: o lead the organization through this transition period, Reaching Higher NH will bring on Charlie Toulmin, most recently Policy Director of the Nellie Mae Education Foundation, the largest education foundation in New England.
Nellie Mae is funded by the Gates Foundation. The Gates Foundation is the biggest funder of the failed Common Core Standards and reforms. Nellie Mae’s primary focus? Turning students into community organizers!!! NOT literacy. NOT academic excellence.
Regulatory changes removed legal barriers to the collection and sharing of personal data on students and their families. Since 2002, the federal government has incentivized states to build massive data-bases to collect information on students and their families. Nothing in Harbron’s article addressed privacy protections or the education and clinical training of those now charged with providing this new kind of mental health to students in the classroom.
SEL data goes way beyond academic performance or bio-graphical information. This information can include a student’s discipline history and social and emotional development.
In certain instances this kind of information can be shared without student or parental knowledge or consent. These kinds of data-bases make children and their families subject to research without any ethical boundaries. It is important to protect persons with diminished autonomy so that they enter into research voluntarily and with adequate information. Protecting children against the dangers of being involved in research is critical and ethical.
Right on cue! I hope Governor Chris Sununu doesn’t fall for this one! First full day kindergarten then Bernies universal pre school Can kids just be kids!!
Chris Sununu appointed Edelblut and has been on board with the switch from education to training. He’s part of the problem, not part of the solution. What we really have here, in addition to an orchestrated attack from both the right and left (Sanders and others implement daycare and the software oligarchs collect, store and sell the associated data ) is a case of taking advantage of children who are not in a position to speak for themselves, families who are kept in the dark, and a very, very large case of misogyny when you attack the teaching profession ( mostly women) by intimidating women into keeping silent.
He wants the prekindergarten teachers to be on the same payscale at kindergarten teachers. How much government involvement do you want in your child’s lives? His plan is to indoctrinate them as young as possible. Also why does everyone have to bear an even bigger tax burden? As it is all I hear is teachers don’t make enough.
What bothers me most is the NH GOP embraced ‘all day kindergarten’ as an “accomplishment” of the Governor’s when it was only an accomplishment for the socialists. The excuse I got was “Well, it’s popular so we’ll run with it”. Disgusting.
I suppose since he’s now listening to Agenda 21 and the ‘new urbanism’ scam…
And here is a post on her wall:
This is workforce training. Competency Based Ed was all about making sure students received the bare minimum. Nothing about literacy. Nothing about academic excellence. When the focus is on what the business community needs versus your kids, this is the result. When they refer to pre-schoolers as human capital, that should have been your first clue. EXCERPT: CLEVELAND, Ohio – High school students won’t have to be “proficient” in either math or English to graduate, under minimum required test scores proposed by State Superintendent Paolo DeMaria.
They will just need to know enough to do the most basic of jobs.
As I’ve said. First full-day kindergarten then universal pre-k. The toddlers are seen as human capital for the State and there is money to be made on Wall Street if the data can show progress. It’s never about what’s good for kids, it’s about $$$$$$
Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
This is one reason why it is so concerning to see Southern Poverty Law Center’s project “Teaching Tolerance” used over & over again as a resource in our state Health CoreGuides. They have a “hate map” on their website that their activists can use to target businesses or organizations that they deem as hateful.
There is no place for activist organization material in our lesson plans or in our teacher resources.
Here is a post from an anti-H1B visa group: They continue to dupe our young! This poster at an elementary school ! The dazzling exciting world of STEM careers. Notice the sponsors? Qualcomm?
And some replies to this post:
I don’t why they keep pushing this line about STEM careers when about 74% of our STEM graduates in this country are unemployed or working in non-STEM related jobs or occupations according to a survey done by the US Census Bureau and the US Bureau of labor statistics.
I don’t get it either. Kids today would be better off either going into the trades well those are taken by illegals mostly from Central America and Mexico or perhaps military/govt jobs.
Unfortunately most of those trades are going to be done by robots as according to a report by MIT 40% of all jobs in American today will be done by robots in the next ten years.
Such hypocrisy! These are the same actors who are systematically decimating the tech opportunities for Americans. I was replaced by an h1b in 2015 after 17 years of employment at Qualcomm.
can you believe no one is paying attention to this?!?
my favorite part: Digital Psychiatry: Develop a program with capabilities to use smart devices and facial and voice recognition to improve behavioral health and identify symptoms of high-risk behaviors. The technologies developed will help better diagnose and monitor individuals suffering with mental illness. Only 40.3% of Arizonans living with mental illness received treatment in 2018. In 2017, suicide was the eighth-highest cause of death in Arizona and rate per 100,000 that was 24% higher than the national average. Native Americans and individuals living in rural areas, who may benefit from remote monitoring, have significantly higher suicide rates.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
Read this! “A lot of people think that they know what skills will matter in the future of workforce development,” he said. “I don’t believe that they do. Who’s to say that dexterity doesn’t turn out to be the most important skill of the 21st century as we move into more of a VR- and XR-driven world? Then all of those video game badges that people have been earning — that, on the surface, might seem to be without merit — suddenly turn out to be data points in a representation of that learner’s ability to demonstrate the most important skill.”
“Gartner has forecast that nine out of 10 blockchain vendor solutions “will require replacement within 18 months to remain competitive, secure and avoid obsolescence.” So much money to be made off of student data.🤬
Badgr / Concentric Sky operates out of Eugene, OR. “Skipper does understand the need to fix learning records. His company created Badgr, a digital badging product that boasts about 20 million users across the world. Badgr allows users to stack a wide variety of badges, or credentials, and show them off to interested consumers, such as employers. Skipper believes learning records should go beyond the traditional forms of diplomas, certificates and so on. The dexterity to play video games, for example, should be recorded.”
I’m betting their desire for “dexterity” is for low-wage workers to “drive” the robots and drones for Northorp Grumman.
And another post from her:
NY Times “impact media” piece signalling Sir Ronald Cohen and Michael Bloomberg’s social impact finance program for Israel is about to launch.
ASU is aiming to create a network that will manage Blockchain lifelong learner records where every course a person ever takes has meta data associated with it that includes, rubrics, assessment types, evidence of mastery AND the syllabus. The president of ASU, Michael Crow, also happens to be the founding board chair of In-Q-Tel, venture capital arm of the CIA. Are we going to wake up to the threat of surveillance education? What will it mean for academic freedom if every educator must commit their course outline and readings to this ledger system?
And some replies to this post:
I’d be looking for another job.
I would presume the meta data would also include instructor. The plan is to track courses taken against economic “productivity” (income). Imagine rate my (online, gig, entrepreneur) professors with that data in the mix?
The reality of our situation is that online curriculum can be curated and controlled because of Soros and the Obama administration’s Open Data Initiatives. This is the future of curriculum—coming fast.
Yes. I think it’s complimented by the Research Network on Opening Governance at NYU Govlab. That is funded by MacArthur and Google (probably with Bloomberg’s involvement).
In education it’s the move to OER (Open Education Resources), which are being pitched as “free” textbooks, but are setting up a means to capture meta-data via screen-based and wearable tech for competencies to be stored in digital skills lockers that will make people data commodities.
Wow that IMS program is SOMETHING!!! You saw the Utah microcredential session?
Timestamp 44 minutes – everything in post secondary should be standardised like K12 (for easy comparison) read blockchain smart contracts for temp jobs.
Once the curriculum is established, the rubrics are written and the online coursework created, there will be no need for teachers — I realize this is obvious, but teachers in public schools are not aware that what they’re doing by creating personalized learning for each student is going to put themselves out of a job.
Yes. VAM is for online learning systems. They are just using it on teachers until the apparatus is fully in place. People don’t want to look.
Teachers also don’t have a choice about performing the duties they are assigned. That would be an immediate career ender.
That career as it was once known is essentially over. Now we need to figure out how to preserve the fugitive practice of human-based knowledge sharing for future generations.
this is ed reform 2.0?
It’s the proletarianization of intellectual labor.
This is the end game – digitally enforced gamified AR “life.” Yes, no human teachers. Meanwhile the sheeple are being corralled by the disinformationists into an un-ending discussion of charters.
you have crystallized my understanding of how deformers work
Meanwhile – none of this will be on the NPE program later this month. Not even ed-tech. Interesting, isn’t it?
I did attend the NPE program two years ago in Indianapolis. I do recall one presentation related to teachers being replaced by AI. I wanted to hear more. This topic deserved much more discussion. I am indebted to you for your extensive research. When I can, I share your research with my colleagues through your blog.
Right now educational kleptocrats need academic laborers who are adept at behaviorist implementation of test-centric curriculum experience. Lots of inexperienced teachers unknowingly work under the context of “doing what’s best for kids,” while at the same time enacting hegemonic practices on children. Meanwhile… there is a massive push to integrate cognitive behavioral therapy within schools. An attempt to “normalize” 16000 hours of non-consensual behavior modification experiences in the school-life of a child that leaves significant numbers of children disengaged and mentally deprived. I am beginning to see this mass system of behavior modification as a case of social violence enacted upon children.
Well said. And hegemony is why so many go along.
The teachers I mean. And soon the teachers will be avatars.
When Diane Ravitch created NPE I was sure she would understand what was going on, who was doing it, why and how they were doing it — and then work like crazy to stop it. Aside from extracting a promise from AFT and NEA presidents to stop accepting funds from Gates (a promise they promptly broke three days later), she has been a part of the problem instead of the solution.
. I would love for lots of people to be exposing this. I’ve done a lot of the legwork, but we are going to have to mount resistance outside the one that has been set for us – because that is the one that they will use to weaponize your pension funds into pushing children into school-based digital therapeutics for global impact investors. It has to stop. That is in NO WAY social justice. It is just “progressive” branded racial capitalism, and it’s sickening.

Thank you Illinois Family Institute for pointing out these other two Illinois sex ed bills that I dind’t know about that further intruded on the rights of local school boards to set their own sex ed policy (or opt out of it entirely):
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
This was a letter written from a superintendent, parents where discussing inappropriate books in their middle school library , What I thought weird is how this letter seemed to be focusing in on parents turning to social media as some sort of crime , the real issue needs to be addressed , what is your thought ? I did not want to post the name of the superintendent , and as far as discussion goes I never got 1 email regarding the book concerns , so discussion is not really the goal , just this email with the admonishing tone February 26, 2020 Good Afternoon, As you may be aware, there has been an elevated level of concern this year regarding material in our libraries, particularly in our middle school. Often times, such matters are brought forward and handled within the building. Parents or staff who have concerns convey them to the teacher or librarian and administration. They then discuss those concerns and attempt to reach a resolution. This year that has happened twice; and in both instances, parent concerns were addressed and agreement reached that the works were not appropriate for Middle School level students. The material was then removed from circulation. In other instances in the past, staff members have had discussions with the librarian that have resulted in access to material being limited to students based upon age and parent consent. Discussions like these are an important first step of our policy for Reconsideration of Instructional Material adopted by our school committee and happen with some regularity among professional colleagues. Sometimes, consensus cannot be reached through these conversations. However, our policy anticipates that and provides procedures for another level of review by a committee comprised of school committee members, a district librarian, two teachers and the principal of the building. Such disagreements and differences of opinions are to be expected in any learning community. That is why we have policies and procedures designed to address these disagreements in an organized systematic and straightforward process. Unfortunately, what has happened this year has escalated beyond a discussion of instructional materials to personal attacks against members of our staff, particularly online through social media. This is not the first time individuals have posted disparaging comments about our staff online. It is, however, one of the most egregious examples that has happened in quite some time. Social media can be a positive tool to bring people together in today’s society, but it does create challenges as well. Today’s educators work and teach in the fishbowl of public opinion. Every action we take is scrutinized and dissected on social media. Grievances against staff are aired publically rather than addressed with the individual or brought to the attention of the building administrator. Gossip, hearsay, untrue statements and personal attacks, such as those occurring now, inflame emotions and are counterproductive to working together to address the concerns of the parties involved. Nothing stirs our emotions more than our children. As educators, we understand that more than most. Teachers enter our profession with a passion to work with kids and educate young minds to help them grow as individuals and learners. We do not seek to substitute our judgment for yours as parents. We seek to partner with you to help your children develop into well-educated, strong, confident adults. Its states on our district letterhead that “The Ludlow Public Schools strives to provide a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment in which all students can thrive and succeed in its schools. The Ludlow Public Schools prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, age, sex, gender identity, national origin, pregnancy or pregnancy related conditions, disability or sexual orientation and ensures that all students have equal rights of access and equal enjoyment of the opportunities, advantages, privileges, and courses of study.” For us this is not merely a phrase written on paper nor a legal mandate. This is a reflection of who we are as an educational community. It is our goal to work with students on not only academic content, but also on how to raise concerns and express differences of opinion in a respectful manner. Today the “controversy” may be centered on books in our library, but tomorrow it may very well focus on another aspect of our curriculum. We need to be able to work together in a civil manner as a community to address areas of concern and move forward in a manner beneficial to all
And some replies to this post:
From a parent’s FB page: “I am absolutely seething. This article and the statement made by the superintendent are completely FALSE. Everyone needs to know what is going on at our middle school. First, I am an active member of this group and we are NOT bashing the librarian because she is a transgender lesbian. It’s just not true. We are upset because there are books in our children’s school library (who are ages 11-14) that are so beyond inappropriate. Books about sex, drugs, rape, incest, violence and teen pregnancy and books with such explicit language (just some examples). Books that are so sexually graphic that children have been caught masturbating in classrooms. Books that are so disturbing, 22 teachers from this school, got together and wrote a letter of concern, trying to protect our children. Books, where the authors themselves, say that children are not to be given these to read without a parent present. Books that are found in adult sections of public libraries. And in cases where the author visits the school, which happens often, it becomes a mandatory read for our child. But that is not all that is going on. Our children are not allowed to use terms like “boys or girls” in this library. They, without our knowledge or consent, we’re given the sheet attached below and those are the words they can use. The librarian ran through a fire drill, where the children were being lined up by girl/boy and yelled “there is no gender in this school”, disrupting the kids while they should most definitely be paying attention. A long time teacher “retired” the day she was reprimanded in front of her students for saying “boys and girls”. The librarian asked our children (again without our permission or knowledge) to go onto an app and record themselves as to how they identify. We have no access to this video. This is just some of what is going on at our children’s middle school. I attended a school committee meeting last night with many other fed up parents. We can’t seem to get our issues on the agenda. The superintendent was unwilling to answer our questions. We did speak at the end in an open forum. I am attaching that video. After the meeting was over, the superintendent asked for an executive closed door meeting. Perhaps that is where he decided he was going to call the news and blatantly lie to them. We went to our superintendent and school committee basically begging, some parents in tears, to help us protect our children. What does the superintendent do? He turns around, goes to the media, completely gives a false statement and tries to make us look like bigots. We will not give up. We will protect our children. Game on, Dr. Gazda.”
I am so grateful for what you do ! This is why I posted this terrible email , one of bashing parents not solving serious problems , you know what?? I never got an email from him explaining this was a discussion or this was a concern , or going on , I am grateful I heard it from another mom of a middle school kid. It’s infuriating! I stand with you all! Evil is in our school’s and we need to keep fighting together !! And let this superintendent know that his hypocrisy is not tolerated , this is why I homeschooled my kids all through high school except last kid who attends school for his last 2 years and man did the public school change him! He was influenced into the so called hate crime of standing up against the gender agenda , they make our kids feel like monsters if they rebel against them and their socialist mindsets .
truth is, what is happening in Ludlow is happening all the over the state and the country even. It’s time for parents to raise their voices, learn what is happening in their school district and speak up to protect kids. Together we can make a difference.
A similar thing happened in my district over a different issue. Parents took up some issue against the school committee, and the committee responded with faux outrage over how they were treated on social media, while deflecting and ignoring the real issue.

I may have psoted the article about Georgia, but it won’t hurt to post it again, especially now that I’ve found that Delaware is doing the same thing, though theirs is listed as “non-compulsory” whereas Georgia’s was cumpulsory::
Help!! My children are supposed to be taking their 9 week benchmarks. They’ve made sure to call and email telling us to make sure kids are in class. The kids are being given the PRACTICE STAAR in place of their benchmark tests, for a major grade. My kids are currently in school refusing the assessments. Do i let them take the zero grade, or let them take the test and take the grade? Im furious the district went about it this way and nislead us.
And another post from this group:
Just a heads up to my fellow Humble ISD parents (and really anyone walking this road). You might check with your school and see if they are doing STAAR on paper or online this year. TMS is going online, and our elementary school counselor is checking and will let me know. It seems they are already actively shifting to online administration. That makes the makeup window longer, which means this year there will be active refusal by my daughter (and possibly my third grader if it applies) instead of just missing school. She can’t miss 9 days in a row of middle school due to a longer testing window.
And yet another post from this group:
My granddaughter mentioned to one of the teachers that do the tutoring every morning that her parents were thinking about keeping her from school on test days. The teacher went to the principal of the school and the principal came to my granddaughter and told her if she didn’t take the STAAR she would have to take summer school. Burleson ISD.
And yet another post from this group:
My daughter had some difficulty with 4th grade math this year. I have Dyscalculia so I can’t help her. I met with the VP and learning specialists and her teachers earlier this year. I said, “Will she be okay for 5th grade?” The VP shrugged and said, “She’ll be fine. We spend all of fourth grade prepping for staar so 5th is basically a repeat of 4th.” I wasn’t quite sure how to feel about that. Like we’ve gotten up this early, every day this year- lost family time, sleep, etc so she could not learn anything outside of how to test. Now next year we do essentially what this year should have been???? Is that what you’re saying? How about teaching 4th graders 4th grade stuff and 5th graders 5th grade stuff. Mind blowing concept I know. 🙄🙄🙄 Maybe my kid is struggling in math cause teachers are squeezing it in fast around test prep time? Totally wasted year of education imo.
And yet another post from this group:
More of a reason to get rid of TEA!!! They are hurting all of our public schools horribly
That story is short on information. What’s really going on there?
It is a struggline small school. Neigboring districts have welcomed their stronger students, leaving the most difficult students to show improvement. What the article does not say is that TEA has been effectively running the district for a number of years. They have apponted the people in charge. And their appointed people have not been able to get all the campus levels to show improvement. And it is all and only about scores on that state test.
Marlin ISD had not made accountability status in years. Doesnt surprise me.
And TEA has been in charge of it for years…
and yet those kids got caught in the middle of the crossfire. Too many districts failing the kids… ONLY thinking about getting paid. Charter schools surely isnt any better.
Many school districts are NOT meeting accountability…😔😠
does that mean the districts are failing the kids? Or is the accountability system the failure?
I think its a little of both. If I’m wrong tell me. But i feel that our kids are a bank for the districts. I feel that districts have forgotten the REAL reason why they are on their campuses. I feel that districts and campuses have turned into walking robots. Nobody seems to protect and speak out on behalf of the kids. Teachers, schools and districts DON’T truly teach our kids anymore. They are in a drilling boot camp for the STAAR, and along the way they have failed to stay within the accountability needs. The accountability system I feel has failed because they are not taking into the consideration that their pressures are affecting the mentality and health of our kids, and for what, just to say that “Our kids in this country did this…our kids in this country did that”. OUR KIDS with special needs are being targeted, and in reality dont understand fully the information thats on that damn thing. Not Fair! There’s not one damn college in this country that requires that damn thing to get in nor get out of any college. I do know that colleges such as Wayland Baptist University does require that students take the GRE BEFORE you graduate. Back during the time when i had to take it to get my degree, it wasn’t a pass or fail, it was we just had to take it. Dont know if its the same today. I miss the days from when I was in school for our kids. When things were simple. We had weekly tests over things we did for the week. Called it a day. Upon leaving high school, we took either the ACT or SAT, and decide what college to attend. Now, our kids are being held back because of some damn assessment that in all reality has no damn validity to it. Its annoying…frustrating and makes no damn sense.
I grew up not far from there and while I know it’s been 20+ years since I graduated and moved away. I remember the majority of that town was lower income and it seems the tea has targeted many lower income areas. We currently live in a small town as well the majority is a very similar income levels I do worry about this happening too. Just because they are a small district does not mean they are lacking in great teachers. I’m so tired of schools being graded on how well the students take an assessment that is rigged from the beginning anyways! This is more reason to OPT OUT!
We already know the TEA is a rogue agency. But We need an investigation on Marlin’s superintendent. If it’s the same one who used to be in austin, she’s dangerous and very bad news.
Who?
Castarphen (sp?) went to Atlanta to terrorize students and teachers there. I agree she was awful–a Broadie and we are still feeling her effects 😡
Yes, Carstophen was terrible. I’m talking about Jean Bahney who is quoted as the superintendent of Marlin ISD. Assuming it’s the same one, she was very bad news when she worked at austin.
I don’t remember a superintendent in Austin by that name.
Plus TEA likes to take Suspend Teacher Certificates for unfounded reasons. This is a TERRORIST Organization. As long as I am alive and able I am going to do whatever I can to shut down the Treasonous organization.
Here is yet another post from this group:
This is a newsletter we are supposed to distribute to parents.
There is no state law that requires students to be at school every day instruction is offered.
Nor are the courts the next step for addressing attendance issues. This principal is sorry!
this is absurd! I’m surprised the district I’m in hasn’t sent something like this. They were pushing attendance big time last year. I’m already going to court next week for truancy on my 4 year old. I’m going to have problems as my youngest grows up here. I wish these schools would change already. 😡 😤
why is your 4 year old in truancy? What happened? How many days and what steps were taken before having to go to court?
22 in the first semester. She had strep most of those days until we got her into surgery in November for a tonsillectomy, where she missed over a week just for that. The school sent home a couple of letters and had a phone call meeting with me where they read the handbook and the compulsory attendance law to me. I withdrew her a couple days after I was served papers. So, she’s not in school anymore, but my summons says a warrant will be issued if I don’t go. So I’m assuming my court date still stands.
yes, it is best to go. That’s pretty outrageous on their part. I assume they never offered any home services. Since CA doesn’t apply until you are 6, your withdrawal from the pre-K or K program should keep you out of trouble.
I agree. I mean, she’s 4 and in pre-K. Who cares at this point?! They did not offer home services. I’m not sure what that would even be honestly. I’m hoping nothing comes of it since I took her out.
What district was this? I am interstate to know the names of assholes who demand that a kid show up to preschool with (highly contagious) strep. Infuriatingly ridiculous.
this is Bridge City ISD. And I agree. It’s ludicrous to me that they would be so adamant about a preschool child going to school. They also knew she was sick a lot because I let them know why she was having surgery as soon as I found out and that we would be out for at least a week.
This is awful. Parents are scared enough of opting kids out and then to be threatened with having courts involved. This principle needs some very informed parents to talk to. If I got this from my daughters school, I’d be up there in a quick minute.

Feeling like this corona virus / bank notes thing is a convenient excuse to further quash cash in favor of digital payment systems.
Is it fair to ask why New York City Council is funding this app to report housing violations along with the Robin Hood Foundation (Paul Tudor Jones, hedge funder) and Chan Zuckerberg? Because it seems to me that the poor should be able to secure safe and healthy (and affordable) places to live without having to constantly take pictures of conditions in their homes and write up notes on their living situation, right? Am I right? Tenant rights should NOT be tied to an invasive app promoted by hedge funds. Got it?
We have a city app “see click fix” and used it to report our broken city garbage container and a pothole. they left me a fine and ticket for a mess on a property I don’t own next to my house. I had to scream and yell at our council to get the real problem Fixed. I’m still waiting it’s been over a year
That sucks. This, however, is more invasive, because they are asking people to take pictures in their homes. Of course we know that is all training data, too.
What happens if a person accidentally includes in the photo some information those in power could use against them?
They real use these to fine people and increase revenues
So it is the same system to report issues with public infrastructure and private property?
Yes I used the app to report our broken shared garbage container and a pothole and they gave me a ticket for my neighbors private property. So yes they’re using it under the guise of infrastructure to attack private property. The first thing the city did was cut and clean their lot for five minutes and send the owner a bill
R. City put liens on private property and then takes the lot
Wow – so exactly that scenario.
Some city councilman was posting on Facebook how great the The app was and how it helped fix problems in a nice affluent area so I screamed and yelled what happened to me and I did get my garbage container fixed because sanitation told me they had no more garbage containers. But I still have a pothole and my neighbor got a fine
Which is why we really don’t need any more data – we need a redistribution of power and to have fully-funded public services including street repair.

Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
MORE THAN 30 BIPARTISAN BILLS ARE BEFORE CONGRESS USURPING THE CONSTITUTION TO CONTINUE THE UN AGENDA IN EDUCATION
Do you ever wonder why our state legislature puts forth thousands of bills each biennium?? Where do they get the ideas for all these bills? Constituents? No! Their own thoughts on school reform? No! Paid lobbyists who represent Big $$$ and Left-Right organizations? YES!!! The United Nations spawns most of these reform bills. And so it is the same with Congress.
We have an alert here in Minnesota for Friday morning in the senate at 9:30am, Capitol building. Senate File 3977 authors Sen. Howe & Sen. Pratt, seek to amend the Minnesota Constitution. This bill creates a “constitutional right” to public education. If a parent should choose private education, including home education, are they denying their children a Minnesota-protected constitutional right?” HSLDA.
The bill removes some of the most important and beautiful language regarding education, our state’s government structure and state’s rights. This is the first paragraph. The second lays out the vote and question before the public. (Screen shot below.)
Note how the sentences are crossed out. This is language they want to do away with.
“Section 1. The stability of a republican form of government depending mainly upon the intelligence of the people, it is the duty of the legislature to establish a general and uniform system of public schools. The legislature shall make such provisions by taxation or otherwise as will secure a thorough and efficient system of public schools throughout the state.”
THIS is the replacement language (with my commentary).
“ALL (all means all) children have a fundamental right to a quality public (not private, not homeschool, nor private childcare) education that fully prepares them with the skills (academics now completely gone as is the “intelligence of the people”) necessary for participation in the economy, our democracy, (We’re a republic, thank you!), and society, as measured against uniform achievement standards (Common Core standards) set forth by the state (adopted by our state, not devised by the state). It is a paramount DUTY OF THE STATE (not the parent, not the teachers, not the schools, the state is in complete authority in a way it was not before) to ensure quality public schools that fulfill this fundamental right.”
And that ladies and gentlemen takes you straight to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation where “the fundamental right to an education” has been pushed alongside the UN Treaty Rights of the Child.
From the UNESCO website: “Education as a fundamental human right lies at the heart of UNESCO’s mission and is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and many other international human rights instruments.”
“The right to education is one of the key principles underpinning the Education 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) adopted by the international community. SDG 4 is rights-based and seeks to ensure the full enjoyment of the right to education as fundamental to achieving sustainable development.”
This constitutional amendment is the brainchild of Art Rolnick, former head of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve and Alan Page, Minnesota Supreme Court justice.”
This bill is opposed by: HSLDA, MACHE, MACC and ParentalRights.org
And some replies to this post;
This is the UN Rights of the Child in other language. “All children have fundamental right to education.” This is the UN!
I just read the proposed constitutional amendment by a former MN Supreme Court member (Page) and a guy from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Gag!!!! But it does serve to support this “great start” nonsense.
It changes terminology, shifting political from “republic” to “democratic” as our understood system of government, for one example.
No doubt the schools that will serve as models for the new state standard of “quality” will include Edina, Eden Prairie, i.e. wealthy schools with lovely facilities. Trillions will be necessary to bring the rest of the state up to that level of “quality.”
The letter practically invites parents to prepare to sue their school districts for the injustice of their child receiving a less “quality” education in their district as compared to another in the state. Current struggling and failing schools will be at the front of the line to sue, with no requirement to fund the suit on their part. I can imaging that oodles of lawyers and even some additional judges will be needed to handle the uptick in suing the state for not providing a top notch education.
It will necessitate another overhaul of our educational system, likely common core on steroids. All schools will have to be the same, and have to be overseen by the state. This will create vast control of curriculum choices and other choices that parents can currently make if they desire a Christian education or homeschool education for their children. This constitutional change only allows for the state to determine “quality” and loudly states that it can only be done via public schools.
Isn’t this a backdoor method to ban anything OTHER than public education? After all, it says you have a right to a quality PUBLIC education (not just education in general). As such I could see some leftist social justice warrior types using this language as a legal platform to say that by sending your kid to private or home school, you are denying them of their “right to a quality PUBLIC education” even if they are getting a quality or superior education from another source. Home school students could sue parents, activist groups could sue or starve private schools out of existence, etc.
yes, this is to make all venues public. The Great Start bill seeks to “increase public funding and regulations” for “both public and private” childcare across the board, birth and up. Those who want improvements in the public schools only will soon see that this is the last stand before their schools are taken over by a Marxist entity – UNESCO. If people don’t know what’s actually going on in our world by now, I just don’t know what to say…
how can we fight this? Not terribly surprising about Pratt, but very disappointing about Howe
You haven’t seen the line up in the House. We loose that regardless, but so many unexpected co-authors. I don’t think they understand?? Testify at the committee on Friday. It’s Carla Nelson’s Ed Policy and Finance. After that, we need to make lots of visits. The House has passed this through the committee process I believe. Just a House floor vote left. It’s moving swiftly…
This constitutional amendment is also opposed by Child Protection League, who will also be sending out information. The achievement gap will not be “fixed” by passing a law saying “fix it.” It will spread the net of government oversight over all education, public, private, and homeschool. The courts will be in charge, and masses amounts of money will be thrown at the problem they cannot fix, because they refuse to acknowledge that the basis of young people succeeding in school and in life begins with an intact family. That reality they cannot stomach.
This is important – it goes into the language intentions according to the Federal Reserve. https://www.minneapolisfed.org/policy/education-achievement-gaps/why-a-constitutional-amendment “By focusing on children rather than students, this proposed language includes the possibility of encompassing early childhood education, as needed by individual children, without extending to post-secondary education.” “The proposed language will require the state to meet standards that are measurable, are based on outcomes”
Yes. We have Common Core in English and College and Career Ready in Math.
The concept was actually developed by Rolnick with Steven Rothschild in St. Paul in the mid 1990s. All of this human capital investing is linked to their human bond program.
Yes, StriveTogether is working in our state and I believe the Rochester, MN Cradle to Career Collaboratives was started or aided by the chair of the commitee who will hear the bill.
The children can’t move on to the 4th grade without achieving a certain score on their 3rd grade standards literacy assessments. It’s an impact metric. Lots of states have them.
In the impact space it’s going to be pre-k / kindergarden special education; 3rd grade reading scores; 8th grade math scores; graduate / FAFSA completion. Those are the targeted areas for PFS investments.
I don’t know. Is there a place I could look? and why is it germane to the topic?
What about early childhood?
They are setting up education to be engineered to these impact metrics to run the PFS deals. That is why all the talk of achievement “gaps.” The “gaps” are managed on the data dashboards.
Yes – well the impact metric for that is special education screening at kindergarten enrollment.
We have NEW kindergarten ready assessments legislation right now.
It is crucial you all understand that there are direct ties between the Twin Cities and the Bay Area tech and venture capital via Stephen Rothschild and Emmett Carson and his wife Jacqueline Copeland.

This story needs to be told. And while this movement is arguably most brutal to the indigenous peoples of the world, they are by no means the only ones who will be affected by the repurposing of land for the Green New Deal. We might as well call it U.N. Agenda 21. Regional and intergovernmental commissions – the Chambers of Commerce, usually – are already setting up restrictions on land use and property rights, supporting a “stack and pack” model of urban planning, and reworking food supply chains in order to remake the landscape into large areas of wilderness and strategic mega-regions. TIF Zones, eminent domain abuse, incursions into school boards, transportation strategies, and neighborhood revitalization projects are all a part of this.
As this article states, reclaimed wilderness land – land taken from people who depend upon it – will have to be protected from the displaced and righteously indignant people whose lives have been thrown into chaos in the name of the Green New Deal. That’s where all the surveillance comes in. Stack and pack and surveil the people to make sure that they cannot oppose the new feudalism.
We’re hearing a lot about “whole” approaches lately. Whole-child, whole-community, whole-health. Now we have the #wholeCAR approach. Imagine the information that these sensors will collect as they monitor the interior of your vehicle. Smart phones can collect much of this data already, but at least we have the option to leave them at home.
“This isn’t just speculation. Aptiv demonstrated these technologies at the recent CES 2020 show in Las Vegas, as part of our broader demonstrations on the benefits of interior sensing. And we will continue to use our whole-car perspective to create even more safety innovations that leverage all of the data generated by the car.”
Seems Philadelphia City Council’s “Poverty Committee” has been busy. Council President Clarke looks to be cooking up a local UBI pilot with the United Way. Remember – it’s never going to be cash with no strings attached. United Way is ALICE (Assets Limited Income Constrained Employed), and the working poor are being set up as a permanent underclass to fuel global impact markets. If it sounds too good to be true…
Well now, seems like the Federal Reserve branches are all in for pay for success workforce-aligned education / training. In Minnesota they are pushing a constitutional amendment that essentially reduces education to acquiring sets of skills deemed to be economically productive. This is bad news folks. Very bad.
The plan is for the Federal Reserve to advance via the Community Reinvestment Act, investments in “undervalued human capital.” This will involve pay for success finance and digital monitoring for pathway compliance of communities that have been systematically oppressed and marginalized under capitalism. Picture surveillance play tables for toddlers.
The screenshot is from a 2018 conference “Reinventing Our Communities” sponsored by the Philadelphia and Richmond Federal Reserve branches and Johns Hopkins. The conference was held in Baltimore in 2018.
One of the keynotes was Wes Moore, CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation. Rob Grunewald, protege of Art “Human Capital Bond” Rolnick, from the Minneapolis Federal Reserve also presented on PFS financed pre-k. I’ll put his slideshare in the comments.
They are in the process of changing the state constitution of Minnesota to enable this. Right now it’s mostly conservatives who are pushing back. So, I’m asking liberals/progressives if you prepared to look the other way as toddlers are blockchained to profit Goldman Sachs? Well?
Knowing what is happening with brain monitoring and this scary ass sh*t with neuroscience, how likely it is that they are going to actually engineer brain “growth” to fulfill impact deals? I mean imagine they get to the point that instead of benchmark testing they are doing actual brain scans. It that too far off. Julianne it makes me think of Leavitt and R. Brad Lane.
That is what the Gates / Chan Zuckerberg investments are into with the video gaming to “improve” executive function.
It’s interesting to me that the Dallas Fed was at the conference, but not a sponsor. There were like six other branches that sponsored the event.
The Providence school system was recently the subject of a scathing evaluation by Johns Hopkins. It led to the state takeover of the Providence school system. Guess I know why now…
Bloomberg owns Johns Hopkins BTW
I don’t get how they can still be using the Perry School research as though it’s scientific. Oh, scratch that. Education reform research doesn’t have to be scientifically valid, it just has to set up metrics 😦 But still…..that feeling of so much irony that education research is closer to snake oil I never quite get over.
And yet another post from her:
Wow, so it seems like PFS speculative investments in human capital are likely going to be hitched to speculative investments in multi-family rental properties with wrap around “supports” for “economic mobility.” That was something I hadn’t fully considered. Think about all those plans for affordable teacher housing, some of it associated with charters. So many of these deep pockets are operating in the home building space, including Eli Broad…
Imagine if those in power had something like an “opportunity atlas” developed at Harvard to prop up social engineering plans involving removal of people from areas targeted for gentrification. By offering vouchers to “choose” another zip code philanthropcapitalists are thus authorized to track those families over time to see if they are making sufficient economic “progress.” Ugh. This is so awful.
And some replies to this post:
The LAUSD built ‘teacher housing’ that ran into problems. Cali housing law doesn’t allow discrimination based upon employment and many teachers couldn’t afford the rent. Many tenants qualify with section 8 assistance including non-teaching district employees. This information is a couple of years old.
Maybe that is the plan. I think they want voucher tenants so they can push PFS supportive “services.” Maybe the teacher housing narrative is just a way to package it.
They wanted to make teacher housing so the district would be competitive at hiring teachers. Right now, a 1br apartment costs around $2000 a month. It’s unreal. So by building teacher housing, they could avoid needing to bump up the salary to be competitive with other areas. I think they’d need to make an offer that’s around $15,000 a year higher than in more inland areas. So, that pretty much covers the cost of building the housing. They could charge $1200 a month in rent, and the district maybe makes a small profit.
That is not the motiviation.
What I mean is that if it tied to PFS finance then the residents will have to be tracked against their economic “mobility” or improved “productivity,” because they must have a cost offset to take the profit. If it’s not teachers it will be returning citizens, people in recovery, youth aging out of foster care. Everyone will have to be run through the predictive analytics systems and then monitored on their assigned “pathway” of PFS services to justify access to the housing.
I don’t think they have PFS. These are affordable, not public or subsidized housing. Affordable housing is just a funding scheme to get capital for less money, and charge lower rents, but they still make money. They probably accept section 8, but they serve the band of workers who wouldn’t qualify for section 8, too. I mean, these are catering to LAUSD employees.
The irony is that they could have just funded it themselves, jacked up the rents a little, and profited off teachers, while still offering below-market rents.
This is what is coming – that Federal Reserve Conference. In anticipation of mass layoffs. They are anticipating how to make money off the unemployed. It will be trading in human capital data and the nodes of collection are education / healthcare / supportive housing. I guess I wasn’t thing about how the housing income intersects with PFS. LA does have PFS housing tied to reentry now.
I was thinking about the surveillance part. Around 10 years ago, there was a controversy because HACLA installed cameras at, I think, Jordan Downs or Pueblo projects. It’s part of a gentrification push.
I think Jordan Downs might be in the USC gentrification sights. Ramona Gardens is, for sure. That entire area around RG is getting gentrified by the USC biotech/medicine research campus, and they have intentions to expand.
I just started looking into Just in Reach. I didn’t know about that.
Could that be related to the change in zoning disallowing single family residences?
I think so. The push is for density, but new construction allows more infrastructure for data collection.
you mean like those new houses next to me with built in Alexa in the walls? 🤪
Ya, exactly like that!
I wonder what happened to those homes. I think they all sold out.
Most people won’t think to question. We are trained not to think, mostly.

Yes, Common Bond communities are all over.
This absolutely is something I have considered. They are creating ecosystems of human capital commodity hubs, meaning, not just using individual human capital for obedience, (and behavior economics string pulling) but social capital. Much more effective to intensify having people on the ground as social investment via group dynamics keeping us all in line. Harnessing the power of social capital,–over just individual human capital idea- is also something I read coming out of Columbia Teachers College? I would have to dig, but it’s in one of my bookmarks. But, engineered by those brilliant (sarc alert) administrative types taking old ideas and repackaging and leveraging them as new. Unfortunately in disaster capitalism, they will probably get their way. 😦 I’m ready to leave the mother ship and find a nice POD far away from most humans, just saying.
Well, it’s not what I was looking for, but in my mind it relates.
Columbia University was the incubator for Technocracy after all.
Also, I think this feeds into the work the Knight Foundation is doing around “citizen engagement” and the “civic commons,” some of which is happening at the garden. They talk a lot about “metrics” and measuring engagement and “mixing” ugh. All social relations have to be tracked and quantified for global capitalists. I’m guessing subaltern secret societies are going to be the way to go.
Hmm….also not what I was looking for, but interesting to the idea of harnessing group think for financializing human commodity groups? And of course….redlining used to be just for banks and housing, now it’s for interoperable investments via entire city and rural blocks. Using a map, I can get data on that aggregates where the highest pockets of opiod use is here in Wa. And I could come in with my own ideas for social innovation to profit from them and get a grant or loan….Hmmm…. How about a “How to profit from addicts” manual? An investment seminar. I’ll get my power suit together. Haven’t read this….
You know Michael Crow of ASU came out of Columbia, too.
New Profit has the New Teacher Center….Last I heard, they were partnering with my district. The future workforce pathways to teaching and learning, will make sure students can’t be a teacher, without being sheep. The deep dives into data using the big 5 personality, will make sure of that. That is until you are desperate to eat and as such are forced to help future students with their AI learning, including, helping them interact with their personalized Robot. It’s starting to be a good time to be what? What jobs will there be for those who are not sheep? Social capital = SHEEP 101. If you don’t agree, you must be disagreeable and how’s your social score? Hope you weren’t planning on flying anywhere, because collaboration is a National security issue. Should I get my Hester Pryrnne, F for Failure pinned to my dress ready?
There was a book by Farley Mowat I read years ago, that describe a group of people that lived along the Newfoundland coast. Their method of survival and wealth was to wait for ships to wreck and hit the rocky cliffs so they could raid them for the treasures. It’s tough to remember it was so long ago that I read it, (40 years ago), but it seems like they used lighthouses to confuse ships into wrecking. (if they didn’t they probably would, they were pretty ruthless) If people died, so what. In many ways a very sick society dependent on other’s misfortune for their own benefit. I feel like that’s what opportunity in creative social entrepreneurism is today in disaster capitalism: How can I reduce every person and every encounter to how can I profit off your misfortune while holding myself up as a do gooder ? They call this raiding and preying on others’ self agency being creative right in the Deep learning via the ed. reformers. Creativity is reduced to human capital value in the workforce i.e. how can I use you for my benefit? This is in Michael Fullan, Mission Ready, 21st century learning b.s. How does it get past so many people? Because suckuperism is career advancement. It’s like Amway on steroids. You think your friend invited you for coffee and then it’s “Hey, I got some soap for you, are you interested?” You mean you invited me over to sell me something? Crap. That’s best case scenario. Worst case they wait for you to ship wreck.
You know they call all of these innovation districts “beacon” districts?
They also use the term light house, too.
Tada—right this way to the rocky shore, compliments of Zuckerberg.
These are micro-communities that can be managed over and against each other. It’s like they’re hedging control groups for future impact opportunities – metrics that will present themselves further in to the fourth revolution hell. Also, i think you’re right about the geofencing, and surely this is being set up to coincide with that. I have lots of your stuff to catch up on today! Looks pretty intense.
And yet another post from her:
Given how perceptions of public school “quality” influence valuations of residential real estate, it is interesting to consider the havoc a non-brick-and-mortar “learning ecosystem” model would have on that market. Yes?
And some replies to this post:
I would think online school might be popular with people in areas far from schools, like they need to ride a bus for a long time to attend school. Who uses these schools?
The plan is within the decade there will be no more schools per se.
I don’t really see classrooms as a great learning environment. It works for some people, but not others. So, I think diversification is okay. At least there will be more modes of learning, for both success and failure. If an “A” depends on doing a bunch of things besides book learning, we’ll all be “B-” students. However, I see real problems with determining what activities get included into the “eco-system” and what is excluded. That’s going to be so politicized. Will kids get credit for being partially trilingual, because they have immigrant parents who have two different countries of origin? Is this fair to monolingual households? Will kids get credit for reading an ebook at home every week? What about kids who live in overcrowded apartments, and can’t find quiet space unless they sit outside? What books count? Physical schools do so much to put resources into students hands, if they are adequately funded. It may not be as ideal as, say, having a lab, workshop, and library at home, but provides something. It gives young people access to adults with college educations. It can also be a quiet refuge where people can study, away from the distractions, noise, smells, and drama at home. I know, in the press, they say schools are broken down and nasty, and so forth, but, sometimes, they are really nice environments. They’re only 20-40 years old, not totally falling apart, and clean. I think, given the choice, many people would choose physical schools and classes. I don’t mind it, for topics that I’m not that excited to learn – the schedule and rituals help me get through the material when I lack the discipline. At their best, the teacher lectures go beyond the mandated curriculum. My two memorable classes were high school honors history, where we diverged from the standard curriculum and learned about (Western) philosohpers, and then read The Fountainhead and The Communist Manifesto, and a intro to business class I took as an adult, where the teacher was a retired community banker who told stories about businesses, especially failures, about running out of money, bribes from developers, and that kind of thing. I guess that’s what I think would be lost: a kind of venue for older, experienced people, to ignore standards, and pontificate about how they see the world.
We have to understand that as we move into 4IR the elite don’t want an educated populace that might feel empowered to rebel and create a new system. They want to turn the educational process into one that is digitally mediated (screens and wearable tech) to maximize data extraction for human capital investments. People will never get a terminal degree, they will just have to get the next micro-credential and the next and the next – hoop after hoop after hoop. there are some people betting they will do it and some betting they won’t. It’s legalized gambling on human futures. This is the future they envision if we don’t intervene. When I first saw this image it kind of blew my mind, but we are not so far from it already.
From your perspective, is the learning ecosystem model being developed to replace all public school? Will the wealthy will send their kids to private school in order to avoid this? Or are private schools also embracing the ‘learning ecosystem’ model as well? It’s interesting to try to imagine what happens to say, the Penn Alexander catchment real estate market if the school no longer exists as brick and mortar option. Are there additional privileges that students in that catchment will get? Like music lessons or art activities? Or maybe parents form even more robust “friends of” organizations to pay for an actual human teacher for face to face interaction? I’m not advocating for extending the current inequitable education options into this ecosystem model, just trying to understand how the current inequalities translate or do not translate into that model, and who this model is being pushed onto.
Well, my sense is that it will go in phases. We are already seeing the first wave – the temporary closures due to health and safety issues. That is tilling up the soil – there will be more families who feel the system is failing their kids and that it is not reliable, so they will head to other options depending on their income. I’m sure that is why the district has the Virtual School. Once they have the e-wallet systems online the ecosystem can take off. It is NOT the same as a voucher, because it allows unbundled payments. It is NOT like making 1-2 tuition payments to another bricks and mortar school. In this phase the private “micro-school” will develop. They will keep labor costs low with lots of online learning, but there will still be a physical space provided. I think a lot of faith communities will start expanding informal learning programs. Of course the catch is that whoever takes the voucher will have to turn over the data, so the “impact” can be tracked. Same with out of school time providers – whether public or private. So we know the landscape of inequality that goes with the present system – trying to buy into or get the lottery for the “good” school. Incredibly stressful – more so if you have more kids, if your transportation isn’t reliable, if any of the kids have special learning needs, if English is not your first language. So now image that model, but instead of trying to figure out a school for your child every 3-5 years, you are combining some assortment of 20-30 modular CBE elements to cobble together a “personalized” “experiential” learning program? Where the competition for the “choice” extended learning opportunity is cut throat. Tell me who’s going to get the assignment at the law firm or cultural institution or research lab? The system is always set up for scarcity. How can you even make that work for a child with special needs? There is NO WAY the voucher will cover those costs – are we going to have to rely on private “investors” and income sharing agreements to supplement, even for children? There are HUGE ethical concerns about the ecosystem model that we need to be talking about NOW. Let us hope it never gets off the ground, though I do think we are already on the runway.
I can totally see these popping up all over gentrified parts of the city
I told you about my concerns about the Acton Microschools model. I’ve been watching it more & more and it’s horrifying!!
this is helpful. Yeah, it seems like we are not far from the micro-school model. It seems like this will exacerbate all of the inequalities currently baked into our system, in addition to raising new ethical considerations. And I assume high school will be largely dismantled in favor of dual enrollment in community colleges….
My daughter went to one briefly. It was a nightmare! Director was woman with zero training in education who was full on bonkers. My daughter hated it so much BS and I was utterly appalled by the lack of actual education going on. Just process, process, and more process. She home schools now & is done with all her academics by lunch. But it wasn’t until after she left that I met Alison and the more I learned from her the more aware I was of the connection.
Parents with money already pay up to get more teacher face time. The richest get tutors, or are themselves educated and provide their own time. Their PTAs raise money to hire art and music teachers.
Yeah – sadly the community colleges are consuming both ends – high school AND 4 year post secondary. The labor market engineers are all pitching the need for the middle-skill credential, which is that post-secondary credential. But that credential is probably still not going to get people the jobs they want in a shrinking market
Which is why we need to start now building some alternative structures. If we end up with the ecosystem model, it’s going to be hard to opt out, because you will have no badges and no badges means no employment prospects, unless we can build a parallel economy, but there need to be other spaces to keep some hope alive. That’s my feeling anyway. We can’t all just be stuck coding the apocalypse.
I think there is a rush to remodel our high schools, middle schools etc. so that when they are repurposed investors will get them on the cheap, from tax payer having paid for them. It also gives the illusion, we are investing in brick and mortar.
My old town wants to turn the current high school into affordable housing.
That was my take. New schools are being put up to bankrupt districts and precipitate the collapse. A lot of them are flex / open plan, which will work well for repurposing.
I’m pretty sure Strive together partnerships funded by Ballmer etc. have much to say about the designs of the new and remodeled schools in the pipeline. That will be the community input piece–guided via their leadership with an agenda, so no need to show up unless you want your time wasted. The public will go WOW. These schools are really going to be something else! ( then they really will be, something else, lol, but not) Businesses might take them too: Maybe Amazon will have a wing for it’s career pathways. After all, they’re the customer, right?
The micro school might be the best parents can get for their kids in the future? It will take a lot of privilege, that few will be able to afford, especially as 4th revolution kicks in and jobs are replaced even more with automation….it will contribute to more inequality then exists today, how could it not? I say this, loving the idea of the small school house on a personal level, and turning homes and old buildings into schools,– being the small town person I am and hating being crowded and seeing our schools dominated by top down standardization. But I know, they will be driven by CBE too, as it will be designed for everyone to be obedient to it in the birth through grey pathways. Milton Friedman said parents would always pay more for their children’s education. In China, one parent will work full time, with their entire salary going to their child’s education. We’re going to be there. Congratulations to the winners.
I will definitely be watching. Where I live the schools foundation sent out a newsletter that raved about the benefits “great” schools have in their ability to raise property values. Didn’t elicit much enthusiasm form the affordable housing community…..
Right? I wonder if the real estate people get it? Maybe those in the know are shifting into human capital impact housing.
tulsa public schools offers regular school tours to realtors.
Reformers and realtors are playing both sides and all sides depending on what pockets they are in, and knowing that it will take time for 4th revolution to fully kick in? Some people think schools have 20 years before they are gone? (I don’t think so, but anything is possible) I was told by a realtor that it would take at least 10 years or more before investors will want to build a multi house complex–or some such thing– where my house is located in the OZ. But that it would get here eventually. “so relax, your location will remain family housing for awhile, even though outside investors will keep mailing you fliers to sell them your house”. But I doubt she knows about the things we are talking about here, just saying. Still, she could be right.

People who care for children should find this shocking. In the world of pay for success finance, coming generations are only valued with respect to their future productivity in the STEM workforce.
Teach for America’s “What Works: Schools to Learn From” series glowingly describes a system of social credit scoring. From the description, I would have thought this school was in Karamay, China, not Chicago.
“Everyone on the Muchin team holds students accountable for good behavior. At the beginning of the school year, students receive a list of what constitutes unacceptable conduct and the consequences for breaching these rules. The expectations and protocols are clear, down to the smallest detail, such as the routine students must follow when greeting someone who visits their classroom.
Teachers keep track of student conduct through a merit/demerit system, which provides scholars with immediate feedback on their choices. Demerits accumulate into detentions, while students can use the merits they earn to purchase goods from the school’s “Merit Store.””

HB323, SCHOOL MENTAL HEALTH FUNDING AMENDMENTS, has been amended and is about to be uncircled. Please contact your State House Rep now! Let them know that we do not want to codify an annual mental health screening. We know that screenings are already taking place in some schools, but abuses can be corrected through State School Board rule-making, using the existing Mental Health Qualified Grant Program, and we do not need to put this in statute.
(Parental permission for these screenings is already required in statute: 53E-9-203. We do not need this bill to put parental permission into statute.)

Here is a post from a vaccine skeptic group:
This just passed at 2am. This world is so sick. Opting out isnt an option to me because the curriculum is integrated and the children will surely discuss this amongst each other. You guys I’m beyond livid😡😡😡
WA parents,
The mandatory sex-ed bill passed through the House this morning, despite the thousands of parents who vocally opposed it.
The Democrats voted against the amendment to remove the pornographic materials from the curriculum. It’s bad, guys.
Opt your kids out of sex ed in WA if you don’t want a stranger teaching them:
-how 12 year olds can masturbate each other or bathe together for STD-free pleasure -how to engage in bondage or blood/body fluid play -how men can have babies -why parents and religious groups are to be distrusted -why it’s mean for girls to exclude boys from their sports teams
how to get an abortion without telling you
how to get cross-sex hormones without your consent
how to get an HPV vaccination without your involvement
why porn is okay for kids
Gone are the days of the basic lessons about birds and bees. Today’s sex-ed curriculum teaches 2nd graders about boners. It includes Playboy and Penthouse magazine covers in its lesson plans. It tasks students with going out into the community to practice procuring free condoms as part of their homework assignments.
Of course it’s heavily lobbied by Planned Parenthood, who has a vested interest in prematurely sexualizing their prospective clients/cash cows.
It’s not just informative; it’s actually grooming. You can’t say no one warned you.
And some replies to this post:
CO passed a similar bill last legislative session. The schools don’t even have to notify you of when they are going to do it.
I think I read that parents are allowed to opt out?
“According to the legislation, kindergartners would be taught the differences between boys’ and girls’ bodies and that there are many ways to express gender. Older students would learn about LGBTQ issues, contraception, pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and sexual consent. Individual districts would be able to determine how much is taught as long as they follow the state’s minimum standards. Parents would also be able to decide to opt-out of the program.” One argument stated that having sex ed taught early on will help prevent/end sexual abuse at home…but, parents can opt out so won’t the pedophiles just opt the kids out?
What causes this kind of perversion to become legal? Well, to them there is no ultimate truth or goodness. We traveled this week from upstate New York all the way down to Chatleston SC. and then back. Guess what we saw all the way up and down? The sky covered with chemtrails and their fake clouds, guess what? Someones think they have a right to take the sky from us? What next? There are some pretty wicked people in power right now. What’s even worse is how many people are afraid to acknowledge its happening….worse yet is many don’t even look up to see whats going on!
We travel from MB SC to Pa regularly too, and see all kinds of chemtrails and chemical skies. It is maddening. I have tried so many times to get people to look up too. They are not interested. Last week at the beach here the sky was unbelievable, and I could not get anyone to notice.
Yah, I’m in WA, and I am NOT happy about it at all! It still has more steps to go through, but both houses are run by Democrats, who are all basically for it. They’re trying to pass stuff before the election this November. Lots of people are not happy about all the crap they’re trying to push through. I hope a bunch of Democrats get voted out, and people get voted in who understand that their job is to represent “we the people”. My husband and I are seriously considering homeschooling, but word is the Democrats are talking about passing a bill that would require CPS home visits for home schooled kids. 😤
I opted all my kids out of sex Ed when my fifth grader came home and told me in PE they were learning heath and sex Ed and did I know a penis can go into a butthole. I dang near choked on my dinner and pulled her the next morning
This has been happening at San Antonio, TX Public Schools and parents don’t seem to care. It’s been reported on the radio!
It still has to go back to the senate floor for a vote. While I hope it dies I honestly don’t see that happening and bet it passes. Cali has already started indoctrinating this crap to kids and I believe a few other states have as well. The biggest problem is parents just don’t know this is happening and they won’t until they get their kids homework asking them to basically write a porn story for an English assignment and fisting gets brought up at the dinner table

Banjo is applying artificial intelligence to government-owned surveillance and traffic cameras across the entire state of Utah to tell police about “anomalies.”
There’s SO MUCH going on in Utah – EVERNYM for one, Canvas/Instructure, Powder Mountain… But there are people who will resist, we just have to figure out how to convey the problem in such a way that we mobilize people towards a future that centers justice and takes into account that history. Got any tips, settler?

SLC is a known liberal hub which is tricky due to their allegiances with the Dems, while most conservatives around the state follow the directives of the LDS Church, Inc.

And another post from her:
So the Federal Reserve wants to engineer the future workforce, structuring it for human capital investing, AND their key partners are Walmart, Amazon, and McDonald’s. None of this is going to go well. And it’s all advancing with bipartisan support, pushed by the chambers of commerce and transnational global capital interests. Are you hearing about any of this in the media? From candidates for elected office? Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
So, I’m sure I’ve only found some of the PFS research that is being carried out by the Federal Reserve. Every branch has their own niche, but it’s pretty clear the infrastructure for human capital processing to profit global finance is far advanced. If you thought “eds and meds” meant lots of people were going to get JOBS in those fields – nah. It’s about tracking the masses as data commodities for impact investing, where education/training and healthcare/mental health/addiction treatment become primary nodes of data extraction. So who else is looking at this? Anyone?
How will the World Bank be able to financialize your life if you don’t have a unique identifier? How are they going to accomplish the UN Sustainable Development Goals if the masses refuse to be put on Blockchain? UN SDG 16.9.

Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
The Independence House on Cape Cod does great work, however they recently made a really poor choice. They sent a teen violence dating survey to 6th graders without parental consent that collected data from the students and asked them to enter their name, address and email. They were promised a gift card if one of the first 100 to take it then those would be entered into a drawing. I have had conversations with them and our school district regarding what was wrong with this. The questions were also not appropriate for this age group. If you have a student on Cape Cod, you should ask if they took this survey grades 6-12.
My background is that I was on the school committee and am on school councils. I sent out a red hot email to the super, asst principal and teacher who told [child name redacted] she had to do it. I followed up a call to the Independence House which followed up with calls to all of the above and to school committee members. Per usual, no one knew what the other was doing and no one knew what the others though the purpose was, etc. Independence House agreed to remove the contact information and took my feedback and went to their team and came back and asked me to give input to future programs. Super was going to get clarification from them. Then I followed up with another email stating that based on our conversation, you confirmed x y z etc.

And some replies to this post:
Would the framework and criteria under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act cover this? It’s Federal law but I don’t know of any exemptions for schools with regard to data collection on juveniles under the age of 13.
My kids were forced into a program via North River Collaborative. Some BS food survey and health questionnaire by the Brockton schools. I told them what I serve at home is none of their damned business. Sent the school and this North River Collaborative cease and desist letters and demanded this NRC loose all information the school illegally gave of my children. Never heard from em again.
These surveys are done routinely in many, if not all, Massachusetts public schools. It has been going on for years. I have always opted out of all surveys for my children because I feel it invades their privacy and asks suggestive and graphic questions. It is the Youth Risk Survey. It is done in both middle school and high school. It is used as a tool that supposedly helps decide what areas need more focus on in individual communities. Questions include things like how many times has your child had sex over a certain period of time; with how many partners; I believe, if partners are male or female, and what kinds (oral, anal, etc.). It asks about drinking and drugs, etc. My district puts out an email to parents to let them be aware of the survey and to tell them they can write to opt out. They can view the survey but I would bet most do not. My kids say they are told they are anonymous but students who take them say that each student has an individual number on their survey that could potentially track them. Many students lie to be funny on the surveys so I don’t feel the data is accurate yet the schools always refer to them as to why we need more health. I encourage anyone bothered by this to write a note every year at the beginning of the school year to your principal to opt out of these surveys, any health clases, any classes on bullying or diversity or conflict reaolution, just to name a few..As for issues of privacy, the mere fact that the use of the computers or lap tops are in most classrooms and anything the student does on them becomes a public record, you might as well give up on having anything private. Pus the use of laptops makes it harder to track what your child is learning.
And another post from this group:
🔥‼️‼️😳 WARNING: GRAPHIC MATERIAL 😳‼️‼️🔥
Scarleteen, “Sex Ed for the Real World,” is a website for teens. Several Comprehensive Sexuality Education curricula now being taught in MA schools list Scarleteen as a recommended website for kids. This site has some of the most graphic content I have come across in my research.
Go to the Scarlateen website and click the link on the front page of the site for the article, “Bare Bodies: Reality Checking Mainstream Porn.” I actually tried posting the link to the article and FB wouldn’t allow it because it went against their community standards!
I apologize for the graphic content and am posting this only to show you what your kids may be exposed to. You probably wouldn’t believe me if I just told you. Crazy, that not even FB thinks this article is appropriate, but apparently the producers of CSE like PP and others think it’s just fine for your kids!
Read some quotes from the article below. There are many linked phrases in the article which lead kids to other articles about porn and to youtube videos of interviews with porn stars. I can’t make this stuff up. 😳🔥😳🔥
“As Jiz Lee, a leader in the queer porn movement, performer, and writer, wisely observes, ‘In the absence of comprehensive sex education, people use porn to learn about sex—what sex looks like, who gets to have it, and what it means to be sexy. On its own, that’s fine. But a limited example of what porn is has the danger in dictating what’s ‘normal’, raising issues in our understanding of sexual health, and also our sexual psyche. Diversity in porn lets us find ourself in the erotic landscape, proving we are ALL capable and deserving of love.'”
So, let me get this straight… we need CSE (also graphic) because without it kids will watch porn for sex ed❓‼️ Porn on its own is fine❓‼️ And since when is porn equal to love❓‼️Unbelievable.
“When people with penises receive anal sex in porn, they’re also usually shown as having erect penises, which is hardly always the case in reality. This is true for bottoms in gay male pornography, and for trans women performers—who may have additional difficulty maintaining erections if they are taking estrogen and/or testosterone blockers. There are also plenty of scenes of trans women using their penises for insertive sex, despite the fact that this act may not play a major role in plenty of trans women’s personal sex lives.” “Many trans women do not feel comfortable with or particularly interested in having their penises play a central role in the sex they have.”
Transgender pornography… this is so troubling. 😳
“One area in porn where there is a somewhat more accurate representation of bodies is the variation among performers’ vulvas. As previously discussed, penises in porn are big, with very few exceptions.”
“In general, performers are rarely seen applying or using lube. Instead, they are often seen inserting penises or sex toys into their vaginas using only fluids produced by their own bodies, even if there isn’t much, or using saliva. This is also true in anal sex scenes, despite the fact that the anus does not naturally produce any of its own lubricant. You can bet that performers are reaching for their lube bottles off-camera, though!”
“Vaginal and anal intercourse (and other types of sex!) are usually more comfortable, pleasurable, and safer when one’s natural lubrication is supplemented by additional lube—and saliva is no replacement, since it only remains effective for short periods of time and isn’t as slippery as lube.”
“If a woman porn performer is not being typed as a “teen” she is probably being instead typed as a mom, stepmom, or “MILF”—meaning “Mom I’d Like to Fuck”. (Similarly, in gay male porn, older performers are often cast in “daddy” roles.)”
“Performer Chanel Preston says, ‘I equate it to sports, because it is a sport. People don’t watch sports and say, ‘I’m going to go try that at home, I can do that.’ They like sports because [athletes] are like gods: They do things that other people can’t. And porn should be [seen] the same way. We do prepare for it.”
“Preparing for anal sex scenes is far more elaborate. Every performer is different, but some common preparations include: limiting one’s diet to only water-based foods, at a certain point stopping eating entirely, taking laxatives, using an enema, and anal stretching with fingers or toys. As performer Charlotte Sartre says, the viewers, “see the penis going in, [but] they don’t see me laying on the bed for half an hour going back and forth between squeezing water into my butt and stretching it out.””
Why would any school official think that this is an ok site for kids❓‼️😳 This. Is. Disgusting. And what’s even worse. This is just part 1. This article has a part 2. But I couldn’t bring myself to read it.
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
FULL SENATE HEARING FROM YESTERDAY
THANK YOU ALL for attending yesterday’s hearing!! There were just a few seats open and a few parents with young children standing near the back. The Senate hearing rooms are fairly large so harder to fill than the House. YOU DID IT!!! The Senators verbally noted the numbers in attendance, though they confused attendees with home schoolers and private school parents only. Attendees were across the board – from public school parents to teachers to ed watchdogs to homeschoolers to data/tech watchdogs to citizens whose children have grown. We had a GREAT showing and GREAT CALL IN/EMAIL RESPONSE to the Constitutional Amendment!!!
So, it’s not over at this point! We had a first hearing without a bill and a vote. The next step is to stay informed and watch for another hearing where a bill would be presented and voted on. It only takes a simple majority to pass a Constitutional Amendment.
It would be very worthwhile to have talk with your representative and senator about the importance of our Minnesota Constitution and the freedoms that exist under a republic. We’re not perfect by any long shot, but the amendment surely brought back the importance of FREEDOM!
Here’s the Constitutional Amendment Senate hearing video (in full) from yesterday. The Senate E-12 (education) committee is chaired by Senator Carla Nelson. One must note that Senator Nelson has authored portions of the Great Start HF 1 clones herself, particularly making Parent Aware Rating System permanent and taxpayers subsidizing all of private education,private childcare too. Big sections of Great Start seem to echo what the Constitutional Amendment is all about.

Smile! Your Boss Is Tracking Your Happiness. Employers are turning to sentiment-tracking software, daily surveys and apps to monitor workers’ mental states. Does this pose a new threat to employee privacy? By Chip Cutter and Rachel Feintzeig March 7, 2020 12:00 am ET
Your company wants to know what type of mood you are in today.
At some workplaces, software trawls email and Slack messages for words that may be associated with depression and fatigue. At others, workers are asked to regularly log their frame of mind with a smiley or frowning face, or track their moods on apps.
Anxious to retain and energize staffers, more companies say they are making employee happiness a priority. The shift has fueled a cottage industry devoted to monitoring, analyzing and improving workers’ moods. It has also raised new questions about whether employee privacy is at risk as companies monitor more of their workers’ behavior.
At Amazon.com Inc., many workers receive a daily survey with questions like whether they have had too many meetings lately or if their manager has thanked them in the past week. At Workday Inc., the human-resources and finance software maker sends out employee surveys at the end of every week on what the company calls “Feedback Fridays.” At PepsiCo Inc., the beverage giant invites employees to identify systems that prevent them from getting work done quickly via a tool known as the “process shredder.”
The corporate world’s increasing focus on happiness reflects a reality, employers say: With the U.S. unemployment rate near a 50-year low, it can be difficult and expensive to replace workers. In a tougher economy, workers might just be happy to have a job, but retention will always be a challenge for top talent. Happy workers tend to be more productive, according to University of Oxford research published last year, and a strong corporate culture can make workplaces more attractive to potential job seekers.
“We’ve moved beyond just, ‘I want you to get 10,000 steps every day,’” says Cindy Bjorkquist, director of health and well being for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. “I want you to have an improved mental state.”
Slide Right for Frowning A Blue Cross Blue Shield app for employers that subscribe to the company’s insurance programs lets employees drag a slider from a smiling face on the left to a frowning face on the right to record their mood. They can graph their emotional fluctuations over time, and employers don’t see that individual data, said Angela Jenkins, a Blue Cross Blue Shield coordinator who helps companies set up wellness programs.
“It just feels really good to put that smiley face on there,” she said. Even if you’ve had a bad day, recording the emotion can be cathartic, she added, or prompt you to analyze the reason for your unhappiness.
One service offered by Toronto-based software firm Receptiviti plugs into email and messaging systems like Slack to search for signals that employees are depressed or burned out.
‘We worry about the perception of Big Brother.’— Receptiviti Chief Executive Jonathan Kreindler “These intangibles can be measured,” says Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Kreindler. When workers are down, they turn inward with their language, he says, using “I” and “me” more frequently than “we” or “us.”
The approach is based on research from James Pennebaker, a psychology professor at the University of Texas at Austin and a co-founder and minority owner of Receptiviti. He found that poets who eventually died by suicide used “I” more frequently in their work than writers who were presumably in better mental health. In a separate experiment where participants wrote stories detailing past experiences, he discovered the happy stories used “we” more often.
“The words we use in everyday life reflect our psychological state,” Dr. Pennebaker says.
The software is used by three companies in Canada and the U.S. to delve into the emotional health of their workers. Customers pay Receptiviti a fee that ranges from about $250,000 to $1 million a year to monitor their employees’ messages.
“We worry about the perception of Big Brother,” Mr. Kreindler says of his software. He says he prefers to think of the service as “corporate mindfulness,” adding that it is good for managers to know how their people feel.
Another happiness monitoring device is being developed by Cornerstone OnDemand Inc., a 2,000-employee company that provides software for recruiting and talent management to companies like Visa Inc. and T-Mobile US Inc. It is in the early stages of experimenting with heart-rate data gleaned from wearable devices such as watches. It hopes to tie that information, with an employee’s permission, to entries from a person’s calendar or project-management software.
Doing so could shed light on whether certain meetings, projects or even people in an office cause elevated stress levels, says Greg Haga, director of architecture at Cornerstone, who cautions that the company is still evaluating such a tool.
“Your stress data really does change from moment to moment,” he says.
Scoring Happiness Some companies are making a prominent display of their attention to happiness. A door inside the Manhattan office of software company Sprinklr is emblazoned with the words, “happy Sprinklrite, happy client.”
The company, which makes software for social media and customer management, in 2018 rolled out something it calls the Employee Delight Assurance Program. Every two months, all 1,900 workers meet with their bosses and report how happy they are, on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the happiest, and they list three improvements they or the company can do to make them more satisfied.
“I want everyone to be happier every day, more than they were before,” says CEO Ragy Thomas.
The initiative was meant to turn around sinking morale during what Mr. Thomas calls the “dark year.” In 2017, after a few years of fast head count growth, worker retention dropped. Employees became negative, work grew chaotic and infighting blossomed.
‘People aren’t going to be willing to tolerate an employer, regardless of how good the pay is, or how stable the job is, if they’re not happy.’— Julie Lodge-Jarrett, Ford Motor Co.’s chief talent officer The happiness scores get rolled up and aggregated, culminating in a companywide happiness index—7.87 now, compared with 7.2 when the initiative started. Artificial intelligence combs the results, scanning for common complaints. As a result of employee requests, Sprinklr has added more plants to the workplace, adjusted air conditioning in its conference rooms (some workers were cold), and implemented a monthly town hall so employees can give candid feedback to management.
Emily Sparks, a 25-year-old who works in marketing and sales at the company’s Austin office, requested a footstool— she’s 5’ 3” and said she felt less professional when her feet didn’t touch the ground—and more fresh fruits and vegetables in the office. A few days later, she received a black footstool with a roller massage feature on the top; the next week, produce like strawberries, carrots and snap peas started showing up in the kitchen.
“The little things make a big difference,” she says.
Gleaning insights from information already generated by employees, or what some call “data exhaust,” has become an increasing focus for many companies, although some HR experts say they have some apprehension.
“The obvious concern,” says Peter Cappelli, a management professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, “is that scooping up this info means listening in on individual employees.”
Though sophisticated methods exist to anonymize information, Mr. Cappelli says, “all it takes is one executive to ask the IT people to dive in and look at individual employees, and privacy is gone.”
Putting on a Happy Face A number of employers insist, though, that more advanced technology could help employees, and in turn, businesses. Grant Thornton executive Nichole Jordan says she is a proponent of laptop cameras that could regularly scan the faces of her workers to detect even subtle changes in their moods.
Should an employee at the accounting and consulting company appear stressed, distracted or even bored, facial-recognition and emotion-sensing software could intervene, suggesting someone take a brief walk or get a cup of coffee.
Employees would need to opt-in to such a system to allay privacy concerns, she said, but in a tight job market where companies want to keep workers satisfied and productive, she sees the potential benefits of making workers aware of their emotions. The firm isn’t currently using such technology, she said, but has discussed it with clients.
“Companies are going to have to figure out ways to better engage and drive up the performance of the employees that they have,” says Ms. Jordan, who is a managing partner for the central region at Grant Thornton. “If it were up to me, we would be moving down this path.”

Matthew Schuyler, chief human resources officer at the hotel giant Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc., which has 420,000 employees, says the company has considered using tools that claim to analyze employees’ social media use to pick up on signals outside of work that they may be unwell. But Mr. Schuyler says such software raises clear privacy concerns and may go too far for the company’s comfort. Instead of technology, Hilton is training hotel general managers to look for signs that workers may need help, coaching them to pick up on unusual statements or increased absenteeism, for example.
“We want them to be the wellness watchdogs,” Mr. Schuyler says.
Automotive giant Ford Motor Co. adapted a novel approach to surface employee feedback: HappyOrNot terminals, similar to the ones used in airport restrooms, with smiling and frowning icons on a tablet that employees can press in response to questions like “How optimistic are you feeling about your day today?” The machines also allow people to provide more detailed comments.
The company started using the machines in 2018, placing them inside some manufacturing plants, at the entrances of its corporate headquarters in Michigan and outside of meeting rooms, says Julie Lodge-Jarrett, chief talent officer at Ford.
“When you’ve got a company of 200,000 employees,” Ms. Lodge-Jarrett says, “it’s hard to sometimes get your arms around how employees are feeling on any given day.”
Ford has also started analyzing the sentiment of comments that employees post below articles and videos on the company’s corporate intranet using natural language processing tools. It can parse them by region or demographics like age to show, for instance, whether worker sentiment of early career professionals is different than people who have been with Ford for years, Ms. Lodge-Jarrett says. The company’s HR team can take the trends it spots to an internal committee made up of Ford employees and ask them to elaborate on issues.
“People aren’t going to be willing to tolerate an employer, regardless of how good the pay is, or how stable the job is, if they’re not happy,” Ms. Lodge-Jarrett says. “They’re going to vote with their feet.”

Pearson has long been behind EQ ( emotional quotient) in employment. I did an article a while back about that mixed with Gender Intelligence.
I am positive that it is happening in schools but I can’t prove it. I once saw a dashboard similar to what is used by the state of Texas that included behavioral/mood markers for multiple times during the day. Does anyone have proof including examples from the systems being used?

Social-emotional learning studies in schools fuel this type of monitoring. Companies like MDRC hone their predictive risk algorithms by examining student SEL data, for example.
Does anyone really think this is a good idea? Most people, I’d be willing to say, would think this is a dangerous foray into the world of cyborgs and skynet. Because it seems so ludicrous even to contemplate the actual implementation of this type of surveillance, we presume that it will remain in the world of fiction. But that, too, is a type of idealistic dreaming. History teaches us that human beings are capable of very dark things. To ignore the present threats to our children and to human agency is to sanction them.
Here is a post from an anti-radical sex ed group:
The report suggests Illinois’ public schools drop reliance on traditional male-female gender descriptions and train teachers to use more inclusive language when addressing groups of students. “The training should include how to ensure things such as inspirational speeches, motivational phrases, locker-room talk, pep rallies, and team chants are inclusive and gender-neutral. Examples of phrases that should be eliminated include ‘man up’ or ‘don’t be a sissy,'” the report recommends. The Illinois State Board of Education this month will issue guidance to schools for creating policies based on the task force’s recommendations, spokeswoman Jackie Matthews said.
A friend of mine mentioned something called Noahide laws and them being associated with the New World Order. I’m still not fully 100% sure what they are (sounds like something extra-biblical and possibly Zionisit) but, whatever they are, they are definitely tied to the UN Sustainable Development Goals: http://noahide.org/culture-of-peace-9-14-2018-in-un/

I belong to the RI Retired Teachers Association and just got the following email that Ed Siedle, an expert in pensions, has been temporarily blocked from fb for warning pensioners that there is a pension crisis.
Facebook Blocks Pension Protection Groups From Information About Mismanagement Of Workers’ Pensions Edward Siedle Edward Siedle
Facebook is keeping workers in the dark about mismanagement of their pensions. Facebook is keeping workers in the dark about mismanagement of their pensions. The messages I received yesterday from members of the Facebook group Protect our Pensions of Iowa/Nebraska could not have been more inviting: “I would like to welcome Edward Siedle to our group. It’s an honor to have you here Mr. Siedle.” “Please help us Sir, God bless you. WELCOME” “He is a welcome asset to our group!!!!!” “Welcome Edward Siedle, thank you for writing “Who Stole My Pension?” I’m finding that to be a very interesting read.” As eager as I am to respond to these workers and retirees, I can’t. Facebook won’t let me. For reasons unknown—suddenly and without warning—the faceless folks at Facebook have unilaterally determined that I, a leading global expert on pension mismanagement (who recently literally “wrote the book” about pension looting), must be blocked from communicating with groups formed for the very specific purpose of protecting pensions.
Workers who welcome me and seek my guidance, must be shielded from my knowledge—kept in the dark. By way of background, we are in the early stages of the greatest retirement crisis in the history of our nation and, indeed, the entire world. According to the World Health Organization, nearly two billion people around the world are expected to be over age 60 by 2050, a figure that’s more than triple what it was in 2000. For better or for worse, never before have there been more elderly people living on planet Earth. It’s estimated that there are over 50 million pensioners―in the United States alone. Like the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Italy, Germany and many other countries around the world are all in big trouble when it comes to the solvency of their pension funds. My message to pension participants is simple: Doing nothing―sitting back, confident your pension check is “in the mail”―is not an option. That’s a risk you can’t afford to take. Active workers and retirees are waking up to the pension crisis and taking action. Not surprising, millions of workers worldwide have banded together, forming and joining groups on Facebook dedicated to sharing information, learning about and protecting their struggling pensions. Clearly, such pension protection groups serve a laudable purpose and should be able to access via Facebook—uncensored—the leading experts in pensions worldwide. That’s not happening. The information they’re getting is being secretly censored by Facebook. Under the heading, “I’m blocked from doing something on Facebook, like posting, sharing or commenting” Facebook tells me: Our security systems are currently blocking you from doing something on Facebook, such as posting or sharing. This block is temporary. The length of a block depends on the severity of the violation and your history on Facebook. We understand that you may have had good intentions or may have not known about our policies on acceptable behavior, and we also understand that this block can be frustrating. To help keep Facebook open and welcoming, we try to prevent people from unintentionally misusing Facebook, even if you felt that what you did was acceptable. We may block people from doing something on Facebook when: · Something you posted or shared seems suspicious or abusive to our security systems. · Messages or friend requests you sent were marked unwelcome. · You’ve done something that doesn’t follow our Community Standards. To avoid blocks like this in the future, you can: · Review our Community Standards to understand what kind of sharing is allowed on Facebook. · Only message people you already know. · Only send friend requests to people you know. I have no idea why Facebook would be blocking this lone individual—I am not employing any army of robots, it’s just me—from responding to worker concerns about their imperiled pensions. That’s what I do for a living—advise pension stakeholders. In my world, that’s “acceptable behavior,” “follows community standards” and is neither “suspicious” nor “abusive” to anyone’s “security systems.” One possible explanation is that certain members of pension protection groups who are affiliated with sponsors of pensions, pension administrators, Wall Street financial advisers and unions who do not want workers’ attention shifted to the true cause of pension failures—gross mismanagement of investments—have complained to Facebook. If so, the members of the hundreds of pension protection groups on Facebook need to be told they are being blocked from expert insights regarding mismanagement of their pensions, as well as who’s responsible for the blocking and the reasons for the censorship. Blocking pension participants from information about mismanagement of their pensions—the squandering of assets which may undermine their retirement security—will harm them. More pensions will collapse, expanding the ranks of the elderly poor. It’s a foreseeable and foreseen, avoidable global human tragedy. Facebook tells me I’m temporarily restricted from joining and posting to groups until March 11 at 1:58 PM. Until then, members of Protect our Pensions of Iowa/Nebraska and other Facebook groups dedicated to protecting pensions, please accept my apologies. Facebook won’t let me talk to you. Check out my website.
On this West Central Initiative, it says right here:
For many years, West Central Initiative has operated as a regional community foundation with a transportation and economic development planning arm. In our new strategic plan, we are embracing the identity of both a philanthropic and a planning organization. This decision affirms the tremendous value of planning and aligns our charitable purpose with the needs in our region.
Through philanthropy and planning, West Central Initiative fuels insight and action for the benefit of our region and our world for generations to come. Learn more from video highlights from our annual meeting in November of 2019 (below).
Our Strategic Priorities for the Next Three Years Reimagine Regional. We’ll aim to develop a greater unity and pride in our unique geographic region while being cognizant of our increasingly global lives. We will foster mutually beneficial connections, model cosmopolitanism, and stand for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Invest in Local. We’ll aim to invest in new strategies that build resiliency across sectors and localities, honor the unique assets of each community, and ensure our children have the support they need to grow and thrive. Educate, Activate, Celebrate. We’ll aim to cultivate a greater sense of possibility and confidence in what we can do together, building capacity inside our organization and across our region to seize opportunities, try new things, and learn from all we do. West Central Initiative’s Strategic Plan in a Regional & Global Development Context Along the way, we will understand our progress through two lenses: the Minnesota Association of Development Organizations’ (MADO) DevelopMN cornerstones, and the United Nations’ 17 sustainable development goals. Both lenses focus in on what a region and community needs to accomplish in order to become strong and resilient for generations to come.

You said the Great Start thing did a lot of what the Constitutional Amendment (which clearly follows the UN SDG for “Education” as well as perhaps that convention on the rights of a child) already did. Now we know WHY it seemed that way. BOTH the guys pushing the amendment and the Great Start are serving Agenda 2030 and the SDGs.
We need to close down the funding for the Initiative Foundations and those 2 other organizations.
The Initiative Foundations receive appropriations out of the Great Start bill.
Minnesota Association of Development Organizations’ (MADO) DevelopMN cornerstones and Cornerstones of Regional Development Human Development
Yes, the Initiative Foundations are greatly tied into Parent Aware as well. They are also part of Close Gaps by 5, Think Small and more. It’s a web. I actually have the web drawn on paper, I just need to finish uploading it to LilSis
We have a Christian missionary, who actually asks that our church NOT share these letters with the public (perhaps in case they fall into the hands of a the government or some liberal?) that said that they were being constantly harassed by the Netheralnds version of CPS for years just because of their Christian beliefs. (I think recently the state, after finding how clean a record and good they were started to back down as they really couldn’t find much to get them with) Anyway, I fear if we’re not careful, this mental health, home vsiits, early childhood, great start stuff will make what’s happening to them happen here in the US.
Pharma is also tied into the heavily through “Health Equity”
WA had an “Early Start” bill which led to the “Welcome to Washington” bill for mandatory home visits.
Anyway, I also believe these health and whatever centers and health stuff will be used as a backdoor for Comprehensive Sex Ed. WA is now just a govenror’s signature away form having that pushed on them now.
Interesting that you brought up the Netherlands. I was put in touch with a private group on Twitter after my ACEs post. They are based in Scotland, but there were a number of folks from the Netherlands as well and they were seeing the same things. Children taken away from families due to poverty. Scotland had this “named person” scheme where an outside minder would be assigned to follow children from birth. They finally got it scrapped.
We’re seeing pushes for school based health centers, which I’m prepared to bet all the gold we used to have in Fort Knox that they’re tied to the ESSA somehow.
They’re pushing for Planned Parenthood clincis in 50 LA schools, and in CA for sure and in IL, it’s close or already happened, you can get an abortion without parental consent if you’re 12 or 14 or something. In IL and other states and in DC, they’re trying to get it so you can get vaccinated without parental consent if you’re 14 or older. Some insurnace companies I think have it so that if you’re 14 or older, your paretns only get the info if you authorize it. in short, more medical intrustion. And then we have this mental health stuff.
Plus I’m hearing more stories like Justina from MA and that medical kidnapping and things of that sort.
As government takes power unto themselves, you can be sure that the people have less freedom.
did you all kill the bill about home visits last year?
No! It’s bipartisan. (I wish!) They didn’t pass the whole bill but expanded funding in home visiting. It’s a 21 page bill. Health equity is now the first section.
Strive Together is big here! They’ve set up shop in 6 communities. Interestingly, the language used in a bill passed in 2013, Minnesota World’s Best Workforce, used a strange word very near the beginning “strive” then was removed a year or so ago.
This is my piece on Strive. They were spun out of Knowledgeworks (learning eocsystems.)
Wasn’t strive tied to Harlem Children or something too?
Not directly, except maybe through Ballmer and Blue Meridian, but Harlem Children’s Zone was the model and it is all running through the Promise Zones now – Canada is consulting.
Community Schools, Promise Zones but also… Trump wants to close down the Federal Reserve. MN invests children through human capital bonds through the Fed Reserve. Perhaps they’re trying to keep the Mpls branch open?
I posted this on the wall of a friend of mine:
I looked up the Oklahoma digital drivers license that you mentioned and came across this thing that said to contact some company called Idemia if you wanted more info.
I found that Idemia is a member of some group called the International Biometrics + Identity Association. I also found that IDEMIA, Network International and Mastercard partnered to launch smartphone-turned POS terminals in the Middle East and Africa.
Idemia also has made a smart digital national ID for Nepal.
She replied: Pretty sure @Alison traced Idemia to the military. They use Idemia here to track teachers’ professional development! Twisted, right!!
Here is a post from a Washington anti-Common Core group:
Colorado is one of the states that has piloted School Based Health Centers (SBHC). All we need to do is follow what happen there ,and in the other pilot states, to see what we’ll have here….
we now have student threat assessments. And many MS HS have mental health screenings for all students.
Ugh. So who is getting rich from this mess.
insurance companies… I doubt there are any kickbacks for school districts who refer. But then, you never know if that’s coming down the line either
they don’t need kick backs, just invest in the insurance companies
School counselors follow clear policy and procedure with the mental health issues of our youth. Guaranteed the student shared issues of self-harm and was required to be sent for evaluation. Did the parents have health care coverage? Doesn’t seem like it… What if that student shared with the counselor, the counselor did nothing, then the student hurt themselves? The counselor would be liable.
I understand what you’re saying. It used to be, that parents or guardians would be called if there was a clear and serious issue. In this case, authorities were called, the girl was sent away in a squad car…and parents were notified after the fact.
How do you know that? I can’t reasonably conclude that by reading the limited information in the article. What school officials did say is that parental notification is a priority and there was an imminent threat to the health of the student. Do you know, first-hand that school officials didn’t reach out to parents before transport and couldn’t reach them? No. No timeline is given. Facts are very, very loose in this. I make no judgment because I wasn’t there.
“Before I was put into the car, I asked if my mom had been called and if she knew what was happening and where I was going. And I was told not yet,” Gray said. Ashley’s father, Maverick Gray, says he found out about the situation after his daughter was already on the way to Children’s.”
I guess as a parent I have two problems with this. One I should be the first call you make. And 2 do you know what insurance coverage a family has or what their preferred hospital is? If you don’t maybe you need to wait and get a hold of parents or guardians first. Since you had the girl with adults and monitored at school already they could have waited IMO!
parents/guardians should be called…but probably like here in WA, privacy laws prevent this. Like the mother in Seattle, whose daughter was taken to have an abortion during school hours, w/o any notification.
This is another example of the state run public schools usurping the parent’s role it seems to me. Just call the parents to take care of the child, or call an ambulance to have the child taken to a hospital.
you’re exactly right. That’s the bigger picture here that people need to see.
Here is a tweet from Shannon Joy:
Coronavirus should make us really start to rethink mega-cities, urbanization and pack & stack housing. I mean – with everyone all piled up it’s a pandemic waiting to happen!!! Trump should announce a de-urbanization committee to incentivize people to SPREAD OUT!
Sadly here in MI it is the GOP establishment leaders that are some of the biggest investors in modern public housing developments.
This is what started my research into epidemiology almost 10 years ago. I was researching the history of the Plague of the 14th century, and the way it moved through cities. That got me thinking about how much more dense the pop is today. Perfect breeding environment for a virus.
Never happen. The UN plan to pen us in like cattle has been agreed to by all nations….
I say cynicism is a sign of real intelligence these days. Crisis always equals opportunity for corporate America!
“A major goal of the project is to collect as much information as possible online…”😡
And another post from her:
If genomic data ends up being factored into baselines for human capital impact investing – who do you think is coming out ahead? The Ancestry.com folks or Gates after the distribution of his home COVID-19 test kits?
And some replies to this post:
Ancestry is the Mormon Church.
Family Search is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. (Mormon church). They don’t do DNA testing.
my husband worked for Ancestry when it was bought by the church. The DNA is done by 23&Me aka Google.
Honestly my big concern is Sorenson’s ties to the genomic stuff.
I agree, Alison. The Sorenson family name is highly reputable in Utah. They are like every other foundation that may have started out with good intentions and quickly morphed into nefarious activities.
I finally got to talk to my husband. He worked for MyFamily years ago. It seems I was mistaken-it’s owned by Mormon members but it seems the church partnered with them for some part of it. Check out the article I sent.
I think I found the link between LDS and Ancestry. It is indeed from years ago:
Hmmm…game mechanics. “We have a name for entities in the real world which have access to your private data, which have controls on the economy, which can unilaterally affect real estate values, and which can set forth rules via commission or omission on how people interact. In the virtual worlds, we said that those who had power over the world were gods, immortals, wizards.
Facebook, Google, and yes now Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, and Niantic, as they move into AR, are basically like governments. And if they are going to start impinging upon the public sphere, it’s getting to be time that they take it seriously and actually walk through the consequences and ripple effects of what they are doing.”
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ .. Please remember I do not write articles .. I am a researcher I am only telling all of you what I have found …. Last night I just simply could not sleep due to the fact USMCA was going to be signed today and it included information on the new monetary system as e-payment which in that document was connected to the UN.. I began researching on Stakeholder Capitalism for the past couple of days especially since Marc Benoiff and Ivanka Trump were on a panel concerning Stakeholder Capitalism. Marc Benoiff is the CEO of Salesforce. He is also connected to what is Breakthrough Energy … The link is below , scroll down and look at the list of names you will see Bill Gates, George Soros and several others … https://www.b-t.energy/coalition/who-we-are/
When Trump was campaigning for president I began doing some research on him and if he had any connections which would not make me happy since so many of those who have been elected as president were following the path towards socialism .. Trump was bailed out by one Wilbur Ross who is the Commerce Secretary . Ross worked for one of Rothschild’s investment firms during the time Trump was having financial problems with his casino .. Information on Wilbur Ross connection to Rothschild
Trump in one of his campaign speeches mentioned private , public partnership .. PPP is part of the UN .. This speech was given in Gettysburg https://youtu.be/uQT1l4R67cc
After Trump was elected his son -in- law Jared was appointed to White House Office of American Innovation. Marc Benoiff and others were appointed by Jared to be on the team as strategic consultants.. In this article you will notice Ivanka planning to “collaborate” with the team
Benoiff has been attending WEF for over 18 years he mentioned this at the WEF2020 on the panel with Ivanka … in this article Benoiff is the one wearing glasses and sitting next to Ivanka on the left hand side –
Now I will show all of you what I found last night which connects more dots leading to Stakeholder Capitalism which is being pushed by Benoiff and Ivanka and how it is connected to Inclusive Capitalism which is Lynn Rothschild and others …
Several years ago there was a conference held in UK – Those who were present was Prince Charles and Bill Clinton and many other so called influential persons The Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism began as an initiative of the neoconservative Henry Jackson Society co-chaired by Dominic Barton – the UK-based Global Managing Director of McKinsey and key long-term economic strategist to the Trudeau government – and Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild – a New Jersey-born Democratic Party insider who married into the Rothschild banking dynasty after being introduced to Sir Evelyn de Rothschild by Henry Kissinger at the 1998 Bilderberg conference and spent her honeymoon being hosted by the Clintons at the White House. [ This article is from Socialist Project but it has a great deal of information.]
Stakeholder Capitalism for Long-Term Value Creation *EPIC was formed by the Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism “Society and the environment: To be successful in the long term, companies need to understand how they create the social value that provides competitive advantages in attracting talent and customers and that strengthens their “license to operate.” EPIC explored how companies can use the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by linking them to strategy and explaining how their contribution to SDGs creates long-term value for the company.”
What is EPIC – The Embankment Project for Inclusive Capitalism (EPIC) today releases its report identifying value drivers important for sustainable and inclusive growth, as well as potential metrics to assess them. The report is the result of a multi-stakeholder effort and includes contributions from more than 30 global business leaders.
**** Mark Weinberger – Mark Weinberger, EY Global Chairman and CEO, says: “There has been a lot of focus recently on short-term pressure in our capital markets and a lively discussion around quarterly reporting, but what we report is as important as how often we report it. It is time to update how we value companies and measure their impact on all stakeholders, not just shareholders. EPIC brought together companies and investors to help define how firms create long-term value and offer potential ways to measure and report on that.”

Nancy Pelosi on USMCA, ACA, and the climate crisis JIM CRAMER: Okay. Now, I always say at the top of Mad Money, it’s not about friends, it’s about money. But we do have a mutual friend in Marc Benioff, Co-CEO and Founder of Salesforce. He believes that business, and he’s got a great new book out: business has become the best platform and agent for social change. Do you agree? NANCY PELOSI: It could be. And in Marc Benioff’s case, it is. But I do think that there’s much more room for us all to work together for social change. The poet Shelley said the greatest source for moral good is imagination. So, let’s combine imagination with all aspects of our economy. Because we really do have to address the issue of disparity and income in our country. And as we do so, we can use our work that we are going to do to address the climate crisis. In a green way, create new jobs, be number one in the world in green technologies and the rest. But bring everyone along with that, as we go down that new path.
Gore’s fund leads $400 million deal with trucking startup Al Gore and Marc Benoiff In the four years since it was founded, Convoy Inc. has assembled a lineup of big-name investors that includes Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Marc Benioff. It’s adding one more to the list: Al Gore.
USMCA Art. 23.1 cites the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) “Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work” (1998), as guiding the treatment of labor issues under the Treaty. The ILO is an agency of the United Nations (UN); and part of the ILO’s “social justice” agenda is to formulate “fair migration schemes in regional integration processes.”
Have you looked at the Chamber of Commerce Agenda? Smart Cities, Fewer Vehicles, Creating a Caste System.
And some replies to this post:
Get this… the Superintendent of our elementary school district is also the president of the Chamber of Commerce. And yes, Chula Vista is a Smart City.
are you serious?!? I mean, I know you are. There’s no limit to the libido dominandi and the ugliness that would turn children into cogs in the machine. I need to check on some of the similarities between Chula Vista and Tulsa. I think I remember running across an impact study in which both places were pilots.
Isn’t this what Rose Koire talked about?
it’s EXACTLY what she talked about! We also have the Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance that’s pushing POPULATION CONTROL. It’s unbelievable!
Implement a comprehensive strategy to align educational curriculum to the needs of regional business and industry. Convene and collaborate with regional partners to increase regional attainment of post-secondary degrees and certificates. Attract and retain skilled talent through recruitment tools and programs. Assert Tulsa’s regional identity to attract skilled talent through branding and public relations strategies. Strengthen and build upon the strategic objectives and programming of Tulsa’s Young Professionals (TYPros) to continue efforts to attract and retain young talent. Impact local, state and federal policy to secure education funding and skilled worker tax credits while protecting and improving the region’s higher-education infrastructure.
Here is a post from the California anti-radical sex ed group:
Section 2 of Kentucky Senate Bill 296 will require Sexuality education be taught starting in KINDERGARTEN to grade 12. (I will attach a photo of this part of the bill in the comment section. You can see the draft of the complete bill through the link in the article).
This should concern us here in California due to the fact that California legislators have consistently voted against any bills securing out childrens safety or protecting our parental rights. These same legislators have consistently voted according to what Planned Parenthood supports.
Although Section 51934(b) of the California Healthy Youth Act allows schools to tech sex ed in lower grades than middle school at the discretion of the district, it is only a matter of time until California also decides to make sex ed mandatory in kindergarten if we do not step up as parents, grandparents and concerned citizens to fight this overreach now.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell: You know why I could really care less about our NPR station unionizing? Because really this is what “public television” is about. It’s about gamified behavioral conditioning. In this case to encourage pre-k children to play out their cop fantasies through customizable digital avatars and earn “rewards.” This is PBS Kids. Gross, gross, gross, gross. Don’t give them your money.
And some replies to this post: I’m not sure, but it definitely fit the model that Heckman mentioned in the interview that you blogged about. Building a character, unlocking a privilege. To a tee. These people are ruthless sociopaths who have conditioned a generation of sheep.
Hexagon backdrop
Thought of you when I noticed that.
did you watch any of the golden globes? Hexagon backdrop there too. Gave e the heebie jeebies!!
think you are correct. I didn’t write about the scripture stuff but follow it and believe it. Also have you seen this? https://youtu.be/Yovr_oJTBAw
And another post from her: Human capital investment equations are grounded in the premise that through psychological manipulation and coercion, digital technologies will produce behavior change “results” on data dashboards. That predictive behavior change is what hedge funds will be gambling on. The masses will be forced into transhumanism (melding consciousness and actions with computing systems) in service of global investment deals. Algorithmically-determined media consumption will be a key driver in this – to “change” people’s world views to an “acceptable” framework based on the interests of the transnational global capitalist class. Knowing this we can understand the DARPA Narrative Networks program not simply as a form of digital mind control, but as a necessary precursor to global digital incarceration. That ASU’s Google-funded Center for the Future of War would make “weaponized narrative” one of their three top focus areas is telling. Those who control the narrative and the media delivery systems control the game board. Everyone needs to get up to speed on behavioral economics, impact investing, wearable technologies, IoT, and smart policing. When you consume media, do it with a full awareness of this larger program. Please.
And yet another post from her: Tulsa is the second largest city in Oklahoma. Over the past year it has experienced significant disruption with the restructuring of Tulsa University, K12 school closures and elimination of critical education services. In addition it is a “what works” city that is being subjected to “smart” interventions with the backing of powerful local philanthropists working in coordination with Michael Bloomberg. Last week we came together to share information, and I gave two presentations. This is a recording of my second talk paired with slides. I added to the slide deck for this video, but the original can be accessed here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Q0asA6aKjp8Hn–0nCr6MstpTor8oY6GCd7sA6dWJcI/edit?usp=sharing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGbu-qI6X7g
And yet another post from her: Digital identity will catalyze an automated “faith-based” free-market economic system where the masses will be compelled to prove their worthiness through digital compliance to global power. Sounds pretty awful doesn’t it? Please get a handle on what is happening. Let’s not do this. We must organize towards collective liberation. We must learn from the experience of Black, Indigenous, Palestinian, Uighur, and other resisters. No more time to look the other way.
And another post from her: Haley Barbour, Board Chair and General Public Representative: Barbour was governor of Mississippi from 2004 to 2012, where he focused on education reform and improving student outcomes. Previously, Barbour had served in the White House under President Ronald Reagan and as chairman of the Republican Governors Association from 2009 to 2011. Barbour returned to BGR Group—the government affairs firm he founded—after leaving the governor’s office. His term as chair of the board will start immediately and end on Sept. 30, 2020.

And a post from another friend of mine: The next time you hear someone argue for Medicaid expansion, consider that many of its supporters are in it for the integrated data, here linked to population control (but only based on your risk profile, of course!) Check out the companies that service electronic medical records in Oklahoma. MyHealthAccess, Asemio, etc. Then consider these statements from the linked article. Chilling. “Health information managers, informaticists, and data scientists – many of whom are starting to find their way into the C-suite themselves – are also a key component of the population health dream team. These data governance experts can break down barriers that prevent providers from using EHR data, claims data, demographic and socioeconomic data, and information from other providers for patient care improvements. … For organizations that are ready to take the next steps, the options are nearly limitless. Health IT vendors have been quick to identify population health management as a lucrative opportunity to hawk their wares, and many developers are offering risk stratification and clinical decision support tools driven by cutting-edge natural language processing, semantic computing and data lake technology. These advanced technologies can finely segment populations for optimal monitoring, conduct predictive analytics, prompt providers to take preemptive action, and make it simpler to exchange information and coordinate care.” https://healthitanalytics.com/features/amp/how-to-get-started-with-a-population-health-management-program?fbclid=IwAR29_hHKFSgCRug7s7k6JDESGWPGKI83y1h8JFkAzXbvUFubH9bTa3zdkTU
And another post from this page: ‼️New Bill Alert‼️ SB 6563 would allow any school to enter into an agreement with any health care provider to put a clinic on their campus. This is the 3rd such bill entered this year. Why these are bad: 1) Eliminates parents from child/doctor relationship. 2) In WA, at 13 children are given access to services such as STI treatment, birth control, mental health and gender services all without parental consent or knowledge. 3) In WA, parents insurance may be billed for services their kids receive but they have no right to know what their child was seen for. 4) Puts schools and clinics in position of trust over parents. 5) Helps to allow/encourage kids to keep secrets from their parents 6) Too vague: What types of clinics will be allowed? How will clinic staff be vetted? Will chaperones be provided/required? Yes, there are bad parents out there, but sometimes kids just don’t want their parents to know because they don’t want to hear “No” or listen to their parents guidance. This bill and others like it treat every parent like an enemy rather than an ally when it comes to their kids mental, physical and sexual health. 13 years old is too young to be give complete autonomy over their health. Science tells us their brains are not developed enough to make adult decisions and won’t be until they are 25. The state needs to work towards including parents in the continuing development of their children, not cuttin them out once they reach one of the most vulnerable, influential and tumultuous stages in their lives. https://app.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFinder/ Legislative Hotline Operators: 1-800-562-6000 https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=6563&Year=2019&Initiative=False
And some replies to this post: They already do a lot of these with 13 yr olds. I was not happy at all after living in AZ then moving to WA & my 13 yr old would have to give me permission as a parent to know anything going on in her dr. Appts. 13 is way too young to make medical decisions like birth control that can screw up a woman’s body, they don’t understand all the risks with things.
Planned Parenthood’s alternative to diminishing abortion clinics is “health care clinics” in schools and in public community locations. The Sex Ed Program in schools was initially proposed by WA State Senator Claire Wilson (D) who supports Planned Parenthood and LGBTQ. Senator Patty Kuderer is one of co-sponsors. Unless parents and public consistently contact legislators adamantly opposing evil legislation, WA State will become even darker.Join Informed Parents of WA and other local organizations, church groups in our battle for our traditional values and constitutional rights. Keep informed. Pray.
There’s more to this than meets the eye. Very serious. Allowing schools to “lease” their property & enter into agreements w/ 3rd party medical providers for health clinics at the school is their attempt to work around FERPA. The patient/provider confidentiality for minors has exemptions at schools that allow parents the right to know medical information that they would not have access to at hospitals/clinics outside of school- such as illegal substance abuse, certain mental health, etc. By doing it this way- the school clinics will basically be their own entity & not subject to those school exemptions.
And yet another post from this page: Bingo with words like ejaculation, erection, and labia, for students as young as 9 in the FLASH curriculum, grades 4-6. Students are encouraged to keep a glossary at the beginning of the unit and look up the words as they’re learned. Internet searches show Wikipedia in the top two searches, where children will find photographs, not drawings, of each word
And some replies to this post:
My understanding is that the parents of children in CA public schools are about to lose the authority to opt out of certain sections of the personal health/sex ed courses. The article said they were not gojng to be notified when more graphic material will be presented.
California parents are currently unable to opt their children out of lessons on gender identity. It’s framed as an anti-bullying lesson and mandated on that basis.
And another post from this page:
Spokane Families: Did you know your district was already using a work group to update its Sex Ed program?
This is the declaration agreed upon by ETR, creator of popular CSE curriculums, at this years World Congress of Sexual Health:
“The participants of the 24th World Congress of the World Association for Sexual Health:
URGE all governments, international intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, health and education authorities, the media, private sector actors, and society at large, and particularly, all member organizations of the World Association for Sexual Health to:
Promote sexual pleasure in law and policy as a fundamental part of sexual health and well-being, grounded in the principles of sexual rights as human rights, including self-determination, non-discrimination, privacy, bodily integrity, and equality; Ensure that comprehensive sexuality education addresses sexual pleasure in an inclusive, evidence-informed and rights-based manner tailored to people’s diverse capacities and needs across the life span, in order to allow experiences of informed, self-determined, respectful, and safe sexual pleasure;”
We are not the only state fighting this. We are not even the only country. This is a global effort to sexualize children around the world. Read about Ghana’s fight to eject CSE.
“These CSE programs have an almost obsessive focus on sexual pleasure, instructing children and youth at the earliest ages on how to obtain sexual pleasure in a variety of ways. Some programs even encourage sexual exploration for children as young as age five. Planned Parenthood, one of the largest purveyors of sexuality education in the United States, explains on their website that sexuality education addresses “values exploration,” “safer sex,” “sexual attitudes and values,” “sexual orientation,” and “sexual pleasure.”
And yet another post from this page: In the FLASH curriculum a step-by-step description of an orgasm is read to a co-ed classroom of 14-year-olds.
Here is a post from Lynn Davenport:
I filed a public information request at the Texas Education Agency to see what this $48,000 invoice was all about with Commit. They said my request was “unclear” or “overbroad” (that’s not a word is it?). I told them to check again under the letter T.
Commit promotes data-driven decisions and champions a test-and-punish culture using high-stakes testing (STAAR) with merit pay (TEI) and their staffing model (ACE). Through data sharing agreements with ISDs, they collect baseline data for a “collective impact” model under StriveTogether in Cincinnati where investors gamble on the futures of kids and their “outcomes” in a social innovation/pay for success scheme. They have expanded their reach beyond DISD elections into influencing legislation (HB1842, SB1882, HB3), various ISD superintendent hires like DeSoto and Midland, as well as the appointment of the TEA commissioner. They have also partnered with TEA, Microsoft, StriveTogether and DataKind for a project that involves machine learning and predictive analytics after gaining access to 16,000 million academic assessment records matched longitudinally for students in 3rd to 8th grade. The office is conveniently located across the street from the Old Parkland business enclave where tenants like Commit founder, Todd Williams (Williams Family Foundation) have executive suites.
And another post from her:
I have long suspected districts are using minority children by keeping them in English Language Learner (ELL) services longer than necessary or even when not necessary at all. It is interesting to hear Michelle Malkin talk about her experience as a minority and native English speaker. She was placed in Limited English Proficiency (LEP) services despite her perfect English and her parents demanded she be removed. It took three months to get her out.
Schools receive more money for kids who don’t speak English. In other districts, they keep Spanish-speaking children taking the Spanish STAAR far longer than necessary, which hinders the kids when they enter middle school.
It is also fascinating to hear Malkin talk about her experience with crap math at a private school and how they came after her.
What’s the solution to education woes? Grassroots moms and dads raising a stink. She said, “Follow the money, find the truth.”
You can’t make this stuff up. Former Waco ISD superintendent Dr. Marcus Nelson was arrested while coming back from a work trip to Houston. He was given a misdemeanor for driving under the influence and in possession of pot.
Mike Morath is trying to get the city of Marlin take over Marlin ISD. The only applicant to apply to consult the city through the takeover was Dr. Nelson, the one who got fired from Waco ISD over the pot incident.
Now Mayor Carolyn Lofton says God put him in their path for a reason. What??? The TEA put him there. Where else is he gonna go?
Marlin: Nelson accepts flat fee to consult on education options:
“Lofton says Nelson was the only applicant who applied to consult the city through the process.
“With the expertise of Dr. Nelson, we have an opportunity to build something better than what we have,” said Nelson.
His hiring is controversial as he resigned from Waco ISD last year over a misdemeanor drug arrest.
“I think everything God does is purposeful, so I think he put him in our path for a reason, we may not see it right now, but down the road, we’ll see what God was trying to do,” said Lofton. “I feel like he’s blessed us by coming here.”
And yet another post from her:
Representative Matt Shaheen and I agree that STAAR does not measure learning and should be replaced. I went to the Public School Finance [window-dressing] Commission in 2018 and told them to get rid of the invalid assessment BUT…not by replacing it with computer adaptive assessments. https://youtu.be/Hm8VVmxoQtw
Is that what Shaheen is proposing?
He wrote in his editorial in DMN:
“We think student testing would yield more accurate assessments by adapting test content to each student’s knowledge level. By moving to an adaptive form of assessment, we can accurately measure grade level, college readiness, proficiency levels and growth. The STAAR fails miserably in these areas and clearly needs to be replaced.”
The problem with computer adaptive assessments is the embedded algorithms and predictive analytics used to create a constant flow of data on children. That data and metadata can be used to benefit venture capitalists who get a return on the academic and emotional “growth” of the child. The proposed replacement of the invalid STAAR test could bring in something far worse by increasing screen time, surveillance capitalism, and data collection.
This is happening in Tulsa. Smart City, TIFs, the Dumbing Down of our Schools, Learning Ecosystems, Blockchain Credentials for School Children, Mass Production of Surveillance Drones, Regulation of Midwives and Doulas so they can make sure EVERY child has a digital tag, the Tulsa Regional Chamber’s Transportation Plan, and celebrating Tulsa as a Top City for Vegans.
Here is a post that was shared in a South Carolina anti-Common Core group:
ALERT!!! The data warehouse bill has been scheduled for a special subcommittee in the Senate next week. . WHAT IT DOES: This bill would create a massive data collecting system to track children from preschool through the workforce (and possibly beyond). The goal? To help meet the needs of the state’s economy and to improve the workforce delivery system. . WHEN/WHERE: Interestingly, this bill was not assigned to the Senate Education Committee, but rather to the Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee, where a special subcommittee has been created just to consider this bill. .
Date: Feb. 5 (next Wednesday)
Time: 10:00 am
Location: Room 209 of the Gressette Building . THIS MEETING IS NOT SCHEDULED TO BE STREAMED OR RECORDED.
The data warehouse was originally created a couple of years ago by state law, so it already exists – this particular bill would just give it structure and parameters for usage. In fact, the Senate education bill references the data warehouse directly in Section 37, where it requires the Dept of Ed to give colleges and universities with teacher preparation programs data on their teacher graduates. That data would include “student learning objective data aggregated by classroom, content, or grade; school; district; and learner demographic.”
It would seem that EL Rothschild is a supporter of this “Inclusive Capitalism” as are our friends at the Ford Foundation and WeWork: https://www.inc-cap.com/about/
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
Great Start is Back!
A happy Saturday evening to all! The first of the legislative bills were dropped yesterday, Jan 31st. One of the first bills out of the gate is a clone of HF 1 Great Start for All Minnesota Children Act. HF 1 is a bill from last year which focused on numerous areas of early childhood. This bill is sadly government at it’s worst as government funds itself into a greater bureaucracy.
This bill advances $30M in home visits, prenatal to 3 years and with health equitable outcomes as well as a definition for health equal outcomes.
A significant $260.7M (not counting base funding of $70M) early learning money which includes the birth initiative. Last year funding extended up to the wealthy income level.
A sizeable allocation of $3.4M for the Parent Aware push.
$2.7M for a new Kindergarten Readiness Assessment to be given in pre-school.
Lastly, millions in funding for First Children’s Finance, the Minnesota Initiative Foundations and more. These groups are to help fund new construction, curriculum, etc. for childcare around the state while dictating that the childcare can only be connected to Parent Aware. As you’ve seen the articles, the government program, Parent Aware, is a sham.
hmm I think we are not talking about the same thing. Communities in Schools (CIS) is a group that puts volunteer mentors into schools.
oh oops – I keep mixing these two up today! Yes, we have CIS too! These are in CAP-Tulsa Promise neighborhoods, with housing, home visits, and the rest. I think they are expanding.
I know they are looking to secure impact funding. They literally advertise in our shopping malls for “mentors”.
the housing is smart housing, I was told.
So twisted! Everything is about setting up these crony networks of entanglement. They’re doing that at the University here too- it’s like predatory grooming. Same thing with “Leadership” programs.
we have a housing development that partnered with Amazon where Alexa is wired into the walls throughout the house. 😳😳😳
NO WAY!!!😨😨😨
yep. It’s called “The Amazon Experience” 😂😂😂
And yet another post from her:
“Data-driven” is Aspen-speak for surveillance capitalism. The hedge funds and billionaires are setting up human capital futures markets that will allow investors to move capital in the “Fourth Revolution” economy, an economy of gig workers, surveillance via Smart Cities, “nudges”, impact programs, and social credit scoring. Our Mayor is helping to implement U.N. Agenda 21 here in Tulsa, and Leadership gatherings like this one expedite the process. No photo description available.
And the post she quoted:
Mayor GT Bynum Yesterday at 1:07 PM
Quite a week for Tulsa on the global stage! Incredibly honored to be keynote speaker at the British government’s National Leadership Conference. The chance to address 400 of the nation’s top government officials on Tulsa’s experience in using data to bring people together and solve some of our greatest challenges was a reminder of how far we’ve come in making our city a global leader. Cabinet Minister Oliver Dowden told me the British government hopes to learn a lot from Tulsa as they pursue a data-driven agenda in the UK. And the brilliant Dr. Sabrina Cohen-Hatton – one of the world’s leaders in fire prevention strategies – is telling others they need to look to Tulsa when it comes to using data. The best part of all of this, for me, was the knowledge that we are only getting started.
And some replies to this post:
Wow. He’s certainly making the rounds isn’t he?
“look to Tulsa when it comes to using data”
All of the SIB stuff comes out of the UK – Sir Ronald Cohen. This is really terrible.
His friend there is a Cohen – probably just a coincidence, though.😁
“we are only getting started….” ominous
his wife works for Kaiser’s personal attorney, who’s New America through and through. And who (Dorwart) was working on foster care reform!!
This is the customary “public input” request that will allow the City Council to claim that it considered our opinions. The Tulsa Regional Chamber has already developed a Transportation Plan that includes autonomous vehicles, geospatial tracking systems for every car, and parking shortages designed to persuade us to give up cars.
Some of these things might be desirable, sure. But the ends don’t justify the means – especially the means that are designed to conceal the circumvention of democratic processes. There’s no use giving them your data in the survey. The plan has been fixed for a long time. This is U.N. Agenda 21, designed to cram people into small spaces where we can be tracked and controlled. By drones and robots that TU designs and that are mass-produced by McLain high school students who were deprived of a real education and instead funneled into a manufacturing class.
And the post that she quoted:
Tulsa City Council Yesterday at 3:02 PM
Tulsans, your input is needed and it only takes 5 minutes!
The City of Tulsa is launching a Mobility Innovation Strategy project and needs your help identifying the biggest challenges in day to day travel. Please take 5 minutes to answer the survey questions. In addition to understanding transportation challenges, questions are intended to improve our understanding of Tulsan’s travel preferences, priorities and attitudes to new forms of mobility such as bikeshare and autonomous vehicles. Your anonymous answers will be used to inform potential pilot projects and strategies to improve transportation for all Tulsans.
Here is a post from the Florida anti-iReady group:
Just found this on the district Osceola web site. This survey will be administered to children in in this district during the month of February. Did anyone get a letter sent home? Are they asking for consent?
Panorama is an SEL data mining company along with Kognito.
How will surveys be confidential if students log onto computer with their ID number
Why dont they give the survey to parents to also fill out? They are relentlessly collecting info from minors 👎. There was a similar survey that filtered through our previous sch in New England and they asked questions like- how many TVs are in your house? How many hours do you watch tv?… I was the one of the few that opted out my kid out. I would opt my kid out this survey too.🤐
IRC did it. Our handbook said they had to ask permission before any surveys, so a bunch of us told them our children would not be doing it. They then sent a permission slip home. I don’t know what kind of response they got, but they definitely tried to sneak it by. They’ve been doing it since last spring.
and our “permission form” was a opt out, not opt in. The letter was sent home via students, not mail, so you can imagine how many high school and middle school students actually gave it to their parents. The letters came home after the survey for high school and middle schoolers that stated you can have their data removed if it was already taken.
And another post from this group:
For those who have opted out of AR testing, what do schools typically provide as an alternative?
My son is in 5th grade- reading at an 8th grade level. Yesterday he got a poor score on a very long book (his first poor score!) that he dedicated 2 weeks of time to. Now he hasn’t reached his “goal” and has to spend their once a week recess reading indoors, and also cannot participate in “fun Friday”.
Is he at a public or charter? If public then they can NOT take away recess!
he is at a Charter
charters often do their own thing. They can take away or refuse all recess with no consequences. Public schools have mandatory recess.
THIS IS NOT how one creates lifelong learners and I would suggest attending a SAC meeting or request a conference with teacher first, curriculum specialist next.
Here is a post from a Nevada anti-Common Core group:
Until MyNews4 broke this story Washoe County School District forced kids to use Kahoot. WCSD students, starting in kindergarten, are still forced to use apps similar to Kahoot. The day before Caleb’s suicide he took a “test” on Kahoot, while at school, titled: “Should I kill myself?” Afterwards WCSD said: “We weren’t comfortable with all of their [Kahoot’s] data security and data privacy terms.” It appears they were “comfortable” with the content of Kahoot?
During the last legislative session WCSD was the only one in the state to oppose one of Protect Nevada Children’s bills, SB403, which would have allowed parents to opt their children out of apps like Kahoot. They were able to gut our bill. Trustee Ellen Minetto is the only current WCSD board member who seems concerned about all of this.
Here is a catalog of articles on the Eds and Meds strategy for using universities and hospitals to “transform” and “reimagine” life as we know it! I encourage you to look over these in order to understand how universities will be engines of globalization and population control.
The chaos at Tulsa has to do with a bunch of billionaires who are working to implement U.N. Agenda 21/30 under the radar. Sound like an unbelievable conspiracy theory? I would have thought so as well had I not been able to trace dozens of key local people and organizations, particularly the Chamber of Commerce, to the UN SDGs. The oil industry has given rise to massive fortunes in Oklahoma, and as we have a relatively low population and a general reluctance to fund public services with tax dollars, we’re an ideal location for this secretive and whole-scale remaking of our community. Moreover, TU’s new Interim President, Janet Levit, has argued for this “Bottom-up International Lawmaking” strategy in law review articles. TU’s former President Clancy was on the Anchor Institution Task Force at Penn. Tulsa is a TechHire and Cities of Service Smart City, and Michael Bloomberg is a frequent visitor. The University of Tulsa is being weaponized to be a hub of neoliberal social engineering, complete with surveillance drone development, trauma and brain studies, and a cybersecurity collaboration with a team of former NSA and IDF directors.
Here is a special issue of the Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement that contains several articles about Anchor Institutions, U.N. SDGs, and (as an added bonus!) contains a piece by an administrator at Tulsa Community College.
policies that are designed specifically to reduce the replacement rate. Our public schools are participating in programs rub by Zero Population Growth (under a new name that I’d have to look up), major funding for a social impact program entitled UpStream, run by Bloomberg and Kaiser through Blue Meridian partners (that targets minorities specifically), and public health insurance policies that require that “population health” be incorporated into all areas of healthcare. Kaiser cites Malthus in interviews, and I think he’s an old school social engineer, of the Herbert Croly type.
To be clear I follow: you’re referring to higher ed as one way to reduce childbirth rates in general, and in part targeting minorities?
yes, and in particular through a community engagement strategy that uses students and faculty to conduct impact pilot studies and administer impact interventions in nearby neighborhoods.
Some of the studies conducted by university faculty or students might touch directly on reproduction-related issues, but they don’t have to in order to contribute to the population mgmt goal. Early-childhood impact interventions that collect personal data contribute to predictive profiling that may lead health practitioners to encourage members of one group to exercise greater reproduction restraint than others. This link suggests how that might work. (And just as an aside, I’m not someone who is categorically opposed to birth control – but I think that’s a private matter and that we ought to stay out of the business of using statistics or anything else to tell women that they should or should not have a child.)
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
🔥🔥WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT🔥🔥
Advocates for Youth, an ally of Planned Parenthood and a proponent of explicit Comprehensive Sexuality Education, promotes the Netflix show, Sex Education, to teens. Their curriculum, Rights, Respect, and Responsibility (3Rs) is currently being taught in the Mansfield School District. Look in the files section for a harm analysis document detailing the content of the curriculum. Of 15 possible harmful elements the 3Rs scores 15!
The author of the article below is biased in favor of the show, and outlines various scenes in graphic detail. Look in the comments section, where I will also post screen shots from the AfY FB page, featuring the characters of the show. I also grabbed a photo from the AfY FB page that shows teens who have had abortions and promotes their “Abortion Out Loud” teen campaign.
AfY is sexualizing, victimizing, and exploiting teens. Is AfY in your child’s school? Is their 3Rs curriculum being taught in your school district? Find out and post about it here.
“Everyone at Moordale Secondary, a proper British upper school that’s the setting for Sex Education, is either thinking about shagging, about to shag, or shagging right now.”
“There’s the young woman in her first lesbian relationship who is terrified of her girlfriend’s vagina; the girl who thinks masturbation may make her clitoris fall off but does it every day anyhow; and the boy who seems to be at the center of an outbreak of pubic lice.”
“An early scene shows Adam having vigorous sex with his girlfriend, Aimee.”
“Adam has a well-deserved reputation for having a huge penis—and internal pressure to be really good at sex.”
“Otis’ first formal sex therapy client is a popular girl who threw up all over her boyfriend’s penis during a blow job and now gags every time she tries to go down.”
“Otis knows about not feeling normal. He is struggling with the fact that he can’t masturbate. He knows he should and goes as far as to pretend he has by leaving porno magazines and used tissues on his bed for his mom to find. He just can’t bring himself to touch himself, and he’s horrified when he has a wet dream about Maeve.”
One of the characters, Maeve has an abortion… “And she meets a loud older woman who is having a second (or possibly third) abortion and tells Maeve it will be OK. She says: “I have three kids, and I feel way more guilty about the ones that I had than the ones I chose not to.”
“The adult with the most screen-time is Otis’s sex therapist mom Jean, played by X-Files alum Gillian Anderson, sporting white hair and a British accent. Her house is filled with sex-related art, her home office comes complete with a file cabinet of dildos, and she hosts vagina workshops. She also sleeps with a new guy every night, spies on her son in an intrusive manner, and shares details of his sex life with her clients.”
‼️‼️🌟🌟 WAY TO GO LUDLOW PARENTS AND TEACHERS 🌟🌟‼️‼️
I am SO proud of the courageous parents and teachers in Ludlow who showed up to their local school district meeting this past week to voice their concern and outrage at some of the sexual, violent, and otherwise inappropriate content found in books that are in the school library. As a result, the school policy of keeping a contested book on the shelves while it is being reviewed by a committee was changed. Any book with objectionable content that has been brought forward by a parent or a teacher will now be removed pending a review by a committee. This is a win!
MIP member [name redacted] did an excellent job highlighting several books and having photocopied pictures from It’s Perfectly Normal (highlighted previously in this group) available to pass around for others to see.
One retired teacher in particular was very eloquent toward the end of the public comment portion, explaining how political correctness and activism has taken over our schools. Another parent argued that the books in question serve to sexualize kids and that it is wrong to expose young students to such graphic content. A mother made the point that the process by which books are reviewed needs to be looked at and revised, asserting that bad content should be caught BEFORE kids are exposed and not after.
Ludlow Superintendent Todd Gazda said that the school librarian makes book choices based off of recommendations from the American Library Association. Apparently, he isn’t aware of the fact that the ALA has been overtaken by special interest groups and political activists! Perhaps the concerned parents and teachers of Ludlow can provide him some reputable information to review on this matter.
I did have one question about the book review committee, which Superintendent Gazda said would be assembled. He stated that the school policy for the review committee says it should to be comprised of a librarian, a principle, two teachers, and members of the school committee from the district. Why not also a parent or two?
If you are a member of MIP and you attended and spoke at this meeting please comment on this post. And keep us posted about further progress made on this issue.
We can make a difference if we band together and speak!
Here we go again Elkhart ISD. We have a new principal and I’m now getting phone calls about my daughter (8th grader) not participating in STAAR. Ive once again been told that bc of the number of days that she will miss they are obligated to report to CPS for truancy. I send her everyday, THEY send her home. I have also been “advised” that they do not use GPC for promotion/retention. I would love to send her to a private school but there are NONE in our area. Advice/suggestions on how to handle this situation?
And some replies to this post:
Required to notify CPS? We have been referred to Truancy for several years in a row due to attendance, but never to CPS. Child Services doesn’t, from my understanding, deal with truancy unless they are considering it educational neglect
I’m a foster/adopt parent and an educator CPS has ZERO connection to truancy! And all you can do for a report to CPS is fill out their “form” and then they decide if they need to follow up and open a case! I’ve made numerous CPS reports for FAR WORSE then a child missing a week of school and they’ve done nothing! That’s a misconstrued threat they are making!
why would an administration feel the need to clog an already overburdened and understaffed state agency with crap like this? It is obvious retaliation.
they do it all. the. time. Had it done to us last year when we were pressing for sped services for our daughter who has more letter dx then the alphabet! They reported the exact same day we won our appeal for testing. 🤔 CPS closed the case in less then a week and the worker said to me “Sounds like a communication issue with the school…” yeah… a communications issue where the school hates that we “communicate” until our child has her needs met! 🙄. It was still a drain on our family and a definite nonneed for CPS who is already spread thin!
I have had 2 charter schools to tell me that because of my daughter’s absences that she would have to go to summer school. I informed them that the only way she would have to do it as truancy is if i had no idea where she was and since ALL of her absences was because of either sickness or dr appts and with ALL of her absences she returns with notes from a doctor that NO its NOT considered truancy… The 2nd charter school i convinced them to place in her IEP that regardless if she passes or fails that she would still be promoted to the next grade. They werent expecting me to use it against them when i still made dr appts for my daughter the weeks of testing. 🐻
And another post from this group:
So a teacher pulls my 9th grader aside and tells her she needs to take staar in spring to graduate. My daughter says it’s up to my mom and the teacher says that she heard I gave my Dtr an option and she not to take it. Then she tries to scare her telling her that her friends will leave her behind. I’m beyond pissed.
It appears that the Washington radical CSE bill, which has already passed the Senate, has now passed a House committee and will soon go for a full House vote.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
This is the kind of thing that’s coming, folks. And this is why the big-data speculators (think billionaire’s hedge funds) want access to schoolchildren’s data: for predictive risk profiling and cost-offset behavioral script. Because schools don’t have the same privacy protections as independent medical and mental health providers, the big-data speculators are pushing to locate those types of services within schools, as wrap-around services. It’s not motivated by a sudden concern for children’s well-being – it’s a predatory data grab for behavior control.
And here is the post that she quoted:
“The Milwaukee Public Museum and the union that represents their employees have entered a pitched battle over the terms of their new contract, which includes a unusual provision that would require employees to have their private medical data tracked and financially penalize them for falling behind in a wellness program.
“We would like to explain something more about forced labour in the Netherlands and surrounding countries. If you are unemployed in the Netherlands and you don’t have any income or savings you can apply for social welfare. However, if you do so, you are subject to a system of strict government control and legal obligations. You have to do everything you can to find a paid job, and you have to accept any paid job that you can get or that is offered to you. Municipalities can also force you to participate in forced labour programs, in which you have to work for free. You only get your welfare benefits, which is no salary, and the minimum wage rules for people with paid jobs are violated. You are denied normal workers’ rights, like the right to strike. You are still subject to the repressive regime of the municipality for welfare receivers, which means that you have to give the government access to your private data like bank accounts, that you are subject to government checks concerning housing and living together, and so on. Also, if according to your case manager you don’t try hard enough to find a paid job, your benefits might be suspended for up to three months, or even cut indefinitely. If you refuse to participate in a forced labour program, you can also expect punishment. The only legal argument for not complying to do forced labour or accepting any kind of shitty job is if you can prove that you have a medical condition.”
This post features videos from a selection of presentations I gave in Dallas and Tulsa a few weeks ago, but the real shocker is at the end – photos of the Debate Room at Old Parkland in Dallas. If you want to see where the shadow government is cutting deals, my bet is that a lot of it is going down in that room. Where Big Oil and Global Finance meets “Smart”Cities and Human Capital Investments.
This was written in 2011 by Parag Khanna, a senior research fellow at the New America. Khanna is a proponent of technocracy, but even his piece here signals the very dangerous trajectory of the New World Order.
New America has a strong presence in Tulsa, and is developing blockchain technology for social impact investing. It supports a militarized surveillance state, and the transformation of TU into a hub of aerospace, health, and cybersecurity innovation reflects that pattern.
George Kaiser and his social impact thugs are solidifying their death grip on education and representative government, beginning here in Tulsa, with the transformation of TU and TPS into weapons of tyrannical thought-leadership.
And guess who controls all the DATA in Oklahoma’s public health and public education systems? The same organization that has controlling interests in private health insurance, in managing corporate and individual retirement accounts, in smart ulities and housing, and in Department of Defense cybersecurity contracts. Blockchain slavery, Oklahoma is running toward you with open arms.
And the post that she quoted:
Governor Stitt — MEDICAID now used to pay Education costs
What is your plan for Special Education’s unlimited future cost via Medicaid? In your State of the State speech you called for a stop to big government….. but MEDICAID EXPANSION IS BIG GOVERNMENT!
Special Education is already costing untold millions of dollars paid out through medicaid. There is NO limit to what it can cost in the future. Medicaid is being used to pay schools for the cost for health (and mental health) services including: speech, asthma, diabetes, physical, occupational and behavioral therapists.
Now mental health testing and services in K-12 pubic schools are being expanded and Governor you have apparently joined State Superintendent Hofmeister to support her implementation of this costly and dangerous new agenda.
Her plan involves the state identifying, labeling and giving a number rating to children believed to be “at risk” due to “Adverse Childhood Experiences”. ACEs are a very broad category which includes everything from violence to parental discord. (Just think about that for a minute.)
Hofmeister testified before a Congressional House Committee on Trauma and Gun Violence on Sept. 11, 2019. She said that “Oklahoma’s youngest children suffer more trauma than those in any other state.” She said “75% of our students suffer moderate or serious depression” (which is a category of mental illness). Whose definition was used to label 75% of Oklahoma’s children?
This entire agenda is a slippery slope and needs close examination for many reasons. Tapping Medicaid for Behavior therapy is a NEVER ending cost…. and worse than the cost is the danger of expanding K-12 into state controlled psychological evaluation and treatment centers. The collection of personal private data from students working online is also being increased under the plan, adding to the power of government over our lives. Good teachers and parents are fleeing the public schools and this BIG GOVERNMENT control of mental health will make things even worse. (The state can add this to the curriculum and testing for public Charter Schools as well.)
Without even factoring in the increased costs in Special Education Behavioral Services, MANY people, especially Republicans, already have concerns about Medicaid expansion by the state.
OCPA estimates 40 percent of the state population would become Medicaid eligible. I talked to a very knowledgeable insurance specialist who says this will KILL his private sector business, which can serve citizens better than the state. How does killing the private sector and expanding this government program decrease big government, which you say is a problem?
How much will our taxes increase to pay for this medicaid expansion? NO one knows but we all know state and federal government only runs with our hard earned tax dollars.
If the only goal is “efficiency” that can drive us into more centralized control. The consequences need careful scrutiny too by getting ALL the facts on the table. I am a special education teacher and know well from experience and education what the students’ needs are and BIG GOVERNMENT is NOT the answer!
And yet another post from her:
Almost all of these individuals and organizations have influenced the downward spiral of education here in Tulsa. Look at who is at the helm at TU – Levit, Clancy, and of course everything goes back to Kaiser. The Levits and many University of Tulsa Board members have pumped tons of money into Teach for America, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they tried to wreck TU’s education program on purpose. Clancy did the whole Harvard Institute thing, and Gates, Ballmer, Kaiser and Bloomberg are thick as thieves. Then there is Gist and the Broadies at TPS, joining arms with Impact Tulsa, part of the StriveTogether network. Once TU and TPS are welded into the P20 pipeline… I shudder to think. That’s why I’ve consistently argued that both of these institutions -TU and TPS – have to be defended together. Because once one falls, the plunderers won’t let the other one escape.
Jacob Howland, professor of philosophy and religion at Tulsa University, speaks to the ways the humanities at his school are being dismantled and replaced with skills-based cyber-security training. If you want to see first hand how this shift in higher-education is creating an online, “just in time,” behaviorist rat race to see who can earn enough badges to win a short-term gig, give it a listen.
I think one thing we need to continue to reinforce is that the “jobs” backed by Lumina Foundation et al that will be forced upon people will be to build and defend a militarized surveillance state apparatus. Of course the surveillance state runs on data and energy and water. The energy piece is where the petroleum interests come in.
Here is a post from the Common Core Diva:
Warriors, maybe Medicaid funds in education don’t concern you. Maybe they do. They should, as Medicaid/care is the largest federal government entitlement we have. Has the CCSS Machine infiltrated Medicaid?! Absolutely! How will the President’s newest initiative help the CCSS Machine? Will the States be “punished” if they don’t comply? Indeed! I have it laid out for you.
TN is being punished in the new block grants. Because they didn’t expand Medicaid at the State level first. This initiative will be a manipulated tool to force States to expand..in others words Medicaid for all. It socialism from all sides.
Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
There are THREE education bills that will increase state testing in K – 6th grade and will cost us millions. One bill adds a math test at the beginning of the year, in the middle of the year, at the end of the year in kindergarten to 3rd grade. All the data goes to the state. https://le.utah.gov/~2020/bills/static/HB0114.html Another bill adds a reading test at the beginning of the year, in the middle of the year, at the end of the year in 4th – 6th grade. All the data goes to the state. https://le.utah.gov/~2020/bills/static/SB0073.html Another ties funding to the kindergarten KEEP test. All the data from the PEEP & the KEEP tests goes to the state, & this bill allows the data to go to the state even if the school is not participating in the grant program. https://le.utah.gov/~2020/bills/static/HB0099.html Wanna know how much all this will cost? $1,500,000 ongoing (meaning every single year) + $17,943,000 ongoing + $18,647,200 ongoing +
$45,000 ongoing
$38+ MILLION ongoing funds Yes, Utah, we have a spending problem & it’s always in education programs. And that’s not even the amount that they want to eventually get. They want MILLIONS more to expand all of these programs (and make no mistake, they will expand it in the years to come…. it’s what they do). These bills are not going to be easy to defeat because they are being driven by the State Office of Education as part of their strategic plan and they have been working with the Legislature Education Committees during the Interim.
Someone commented in the committee meeting that they want us to reduce the end-of-year testing, but keep adding these benchmark tests. We can’t. Wanna know why? Because those end-of-year tests are required by the federal government. If you don’t want them. STOP TAKING FEDERAL FUNDS. It’s the only way. But in the meantime, STOP ADDING MORE STATE TESTING.
Here is a post that I found from someone on Facebook from Oklahoma:
More and more homeless….. coming to OKC? Paid to come? Wake up leaders!! We are so rich here and have so much extra money from taxes that we need to keep expanding services? This is absolutely ridiculous. Thanks to FOX 25 for covering this important issue!
back in the 90s the state ran mental hospitals dropped patients off in Tulsa with nowhere to go when they lost funding. I heard this many times never really believing buses came to Tulsa till I talked to a dr from Miami who said it is very true 😢
I think this is part of the strategy to relocate people from rural to urban areas as part of U.N. Agenda 21. The social engineers are stepping up their game. People need to keep a watchful eye on city planners.
Also….. and not removed from Agenda 21 supporters is the undermning of culture and growing government services by social engineers. Our taxes, our culture, opportunities for our children all changed due to this overload of burden.
And another post from her:
Last week in Tulsa I presented an overview of K-12 education in Oklahoma. The video I planned to post had portions with a child talking in the audience…. so it was too hard to hear. I will be working on a new video using portions of the Tulsa presentation and other updated information about the ACT now the state high school test, which has been changed to the Common Core national model for workforce categories. I will post that new video in the future. For now…. here is a 12 minute radio interview I did about Oklahoma’s 8-year plan for K-12, which is still relevant.
Oklahoma’s 8-year plan for K-12 More top-down control from the State through this plan.

Guthrie is celebrated in Tulsa by a museum of his life and works and “greens” space named for him …. courtesy of George Kaiser changing the culture via social engineering
And the post that she quoted:
Nancy Pelosi -last night in protest, led with the song “This Land is Your Land”. I really liked that song in high school when we sang it in chorus. I only learned later that Woodie Guthrie, Oklahoman, said he wrote it to protest “God Bless America” by Kate Smith which was a top favorite nationwide at that time. Guthrie was an avowed Socialist/Communist. The song was meant to claim that land /property does not and can not belong to individuals. That is the history we didn’t know.
And some replies to this post:
Wow! Nice catch! So many things we go along with having no idea there true meaning! Deception is running rampant!
If you’ve ever read his biography, it would instantly bust your bubble about Guthrie. Another bubble that popped was to find out he was taken under the wing of Will Geer when Guthrie left for California. You know, Grandpa Walton on the famous TV series. They were peas in a pod. Ruined The Waltons for me.
I didn’t know Will Geer was a commie.
Senator Mc Carthy was right, thats why they destroyed him
Here is a post that I found from this user’s page:
Just what we are seeing in the beef industry. Same strategy being used on America’s food producers.
And some replies to this post:
we know the UN Sustainability goals are fueling this destructive top down control. We shall keep educating about what is happening!
yes we will! Take a look at the World Wildlife Fund’s 2050 goals for the commodities they deem UNSUSTAINABLE!
We better all wake up. Kaiser and Gates have been at this centralized control game a long time. If they can continue to indoctrinate children ( Hitler’s Youth comes to mind) they can over throw us. They almost have control of our food production system. A nation must be able to feed her own people not reliant on other countries but they have incrementally and strategically removed that ability.
[name redacted] and her family have ranch land in Western Okla. She has years of experience with the UN, Global Corporate meat packers and others who want to control and shut down our traditional ranching, beef production and land ownership. [name redacted] can you link the interview you did with Western Journal a few years ago…

The current state school board member from Tulsa (one of 6 members all appointed by the Governor) is also the director of Impact Tulsa. Such a convenient positioning to get the Impact investors through the process to make $$$$$$. Here is to hoping many more eyes are opening as we continue to lay out the facts. Love you and appreciate you!! https://sde.ok.gov/about/carlisha-bradley
Here is a post from a New York anti-radical sex ed group:
URGENT ACTION NEEDED!
NYS currently has a bill in committee to mandate teaching Comprehensive Sexuality Education aligned to the new National Education Sexuality Standards. There are approximately 70 sponsors and co-sponsors between the assembly and senate companion bill. We need to educate our legislators on what CSE is and why it does not belong in our schools.
Comprehensive Sexuality Education is a graphic and age inappropriate form of sex ed. It is a k-12 program, embedded in curriculum throughout the year, with no real opt out provisions. The Common Core State Standards for ELA and math served as a model for the National Sexuality Education Standards. Three organizations-Advocates for Youth, Answer, and Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S. (SIECUS)-collaborated on the Future of Sex Education Initiative (FoSE) to write and promote the NSES as a way to structure comprehensive sexuality education courses throughout the country. These are new standards, written around 2012, with much controversy in states that have already adopted. SIECUS was formed by Mary Calderone, a Planned Parenthood medical director, and birthed from the Kinsey Institute. (Read up on Kinsey and his experimentation with children). SIECUS believes the Common Core State Standards illustrates a way to enact systemic ed reform in sex education throughout the country.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
MIT really wants to analyze ALL our social relations. We’re not supposed to worry about it. That’s why everything has to be run through digital interfaces – education, healthcare, therapy. Whose interests are going to come first? The military/police state and global finance. To think otherwise is incredibly naive. https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/honest-signals
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell: You know why I could really care less about our NPR station unionizing? Because really this is what “public television” is about. It’s about gamified behavioral conditioning. In this case to encourage pre-k children to play out their cop fantasies through customizable digital avatars and earn “rewards.” This is PBS Kids. Gross, gross, gross, gross. Don’t give them your money.
And some replies to this post: I’m not sure, but it definitely fit the model that Heckman mentioned in the interview that you blogged about. Building a character, unlocking a privilege. To a tee. These people are ruthless sociopaths who have conditioned a generation of sheep.
Hexagon backdrop
Thought of you when I noticed that.
did you watch any of the golden globes? Hexagon backdrop there too. Gave e the heebie jeebies!!
think you are correct. I didn’t write about the scripture stuff but follow it and believe it. Also have you seen this? https://youtu.be/Yovr_oJTBAw
And another post from her: Human capital investment equations are grounded in the premise that through psychological manipulation and coercion, digital technologies will produce behavior change “results” on data dashboards. That predictive behavior change is what hedge funds will be gambling on. The masses will be forced into transhumanism (melding consciousness and actions with computing systems) in service of global investment deals. Algorithmically-determined media consumption will be a key driver in this – to “change” people’s world views to an “acceptable” framework based on the interests of the transnational global capitalist class. Knowing this we can understand the DARPA Narrative Networks program not simply as a form of digital mind control, but as a necessary precursor to global digital incarceration. That ASU’s Google-funded Center for the Future of War would make “weaponized narrative” one of their three top focus areas is telling. Those who control the narrative and the media delivery systems control the game board. Everyone needs to get up to speed on behavioral economics, impact investing, wearable technologies, IoT, and smart policing. When you consume media, do it with a full awareness of this larger program. Please.
And yet another post from her: Tulsa is the second largest city in Oklahoma. Over the past year it has experienced significant disruption with the restructuring of Tulsa University, K12 school closures and elimination of critical education services. In addition it is a “what works” city that is being subjected to “smart” interventions with the backing of powerful local philanthropists working in coordination with Michael Bloomberg. Last week we came together to share information, and I gave two presentations. This is a recording of my second talk paired with slides. I added to the slide deck for this video, but the original can be accessed here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Q0asA6aKjp8Hn–0nCr6MstpTor8oY6GCd7sA6dWJcI/edit?usp=sharing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGbu-qI6X7g
And yet another post from her: Digital identity will catalyze an automated “faith-based” free-market economic system where the masses will be compelled to prove their worthiness through digital compliance to global power. Sounds pretty awful doesn’t it? Please get a handle on what is happening. Let’s not do this. We must organize towards collective liberation. We must learn from the experience of Black, Indigenous, Palestinian, Uighur, and other resisters. No more time to look the other way.
And another post from her: Haley Barbour, Board Chair and General Public Representative: Barbour was governor of Mississippi from 2004 to 2012, where he focused on education reform and improving student outcomes. Previously, Barbour had served in the White House under President Ronald Reagan and as chairman of the Republican Governors Association from 2009 to 2011. Barbour returned to BGR Group—the government affairs firm he founded—after leaving the governor’s office. His term as chair of the board will start immediately and end on Sept. 30, 2020. Christine Cunningham, Curriculum Specialist: Cunningham is a professor of education and engineering at the College of Education at The Pennsylvania State University and founder of the Engineering is Elementary Program at the Museum of Science in Boston.

Yes
☹️ so what’s the point then? Do you know when it happened?
And a post from another friend of mine: The next time you hear someone argue for Medicaid expansion, consider that many of its supporters are in it for the integrated data, here linked to population control (but only based on your risk profile, of course!) Check out the companies that service electronic medical records in Oklahoma. MyHealthAccess, Asemio, etc. Then consider these statements from the linked article. Chilling. “Health information managers, informaticists, and data scientists – many of whom are starting to find their way into the C-suite themselves – are also a key component of the population health dream team. These data governance experts can break down barriers that prevent providers from using EHR data, claims data, demographic and socioeconomic data, and information from other providers for patient care improvements. … For organizations that are ready to take the next steps, the options are nearly limitless. Health IT vendors have been quick to identify population health management as a lucrative opportunity to hawk their wares, and many developers are offering risk stratification and clinical decision support tools driven by cutting-edge natural language processing, semantic computing and data lake technology. These advanced technologies can finely segment populations for optimal monitoring, conduct predictive analytics, prompt providers to take preemptive action, and make it simpler to exchange information and coordinate care.” https://healthitanalytics.com/features/amp/how-to-get-started-with-a-population-health-management-program?fbclid=IwAR29_hHKFSgCRug7s7k6JDESGWPGKI83y1h8JFkAzXbvUFubH9bTa3zdkTU
And another post from this page: ‼️New Bill Alert‼️ SB 6563 would allow any school to enter into an agreement with any health care provider to put a clinic on their campus. This is the 3rd such bill entered this year. Why these are bad: 1) Eliminates parents from child/doctor relationship. 2) In WA, at 13 children are given access to services such as STI treatment, birth control, mental health and gender services all without parental consent or knowledge. 3) In WA, parents insurance may be billed for services their kids receive but they have no right to know what their child was seen for. 4) Puts schools and clinics in position of trust over parents. 5) Helps to allow/encourage kids to keep secrets from their parents 6) Too vague: What types of clinics will be allowed? How will clinic staff be vetted? Will chaperones be provided/required? Yes, there are bad parents out there, but sometimes kids just don’t want their parents to know because they don’t want to hear “No” or listen to their parents guidance. This bill and others like it treat every parent like an enemy rather than an ally when it comes to their kids mental, physical and sexual health. 13 years old is too young to be give complete autonomy over their health. Science tells us their brains are not developed enough to make adult decisions and won’t be until they are 25. The state needs to work towards including parents in the continuing development of their children, not cuttin them out once they reach one of the most vulnerable, influential and tumultuous stages in their lives. https://app.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFinder/ Legislative Hotline Operators: 1-800-562-6000 https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=6563&Year=2019&Initiative=False
And some replies to this post: They already do a lot of these with 13 yr olds. I was not happy at all after living in AZ then moving to WA & my 13 yr old would have to give me permission as a parent to know anything going on in her dr. Appts. 13 is way too young to make medical decisions like birth control that can screw up a woman’s body, they don’t understand all the risks with things.
Planned Parenthood’s alternative to diminishing abortion clinics is “health care clinics” in schools and in public community locations. The Sex Ed Program in schools was initially proposed by WA State Senator Claire Wilson (D) who supports Planned Parenthood and LGBTQ. Senator Patty Kuderer is one of co-sponsors. Unless parents and public consistently contact legislators adamantly opposing evil legislation, WA State will become even darker.Join Informed Parents of WA and other local organizations, church groups in our battle for our traditional values and constitutional rights. Keep informed. Pray.
There’s more to this than meets the eye. Very serious. Allowing schools to “lease” their property & enter into agreements w/ 3rd party medical providers for health clinics at the school is their attempt to work around FERPA. The patient/provider confidentiality for minors has exemptions at schools that allow parents the right to know medical information that they would not have access to at hospitals/clinics outside of school- such as illegal substance abuse, certain mental health, etc. By doing it this way- the school clinics will basically be their own entity & not subject to those school exemptions.
And yet another post from this page: Bingo with words like ejaculation, erection, and labia, for students as young as 9 in the FLASH curriculum, grades 4-6. Students are encouraged to keep a glossary at the beginning of the unit and look up the words as they’re learned. Internet searches show Wikipedia in the top two searches, where children will find photographs, not drawings, of each word
And some replies to this post:
My understanding is that the parents of children in CA public schools are about to lose the authority to opt out of certain sections of the personal health/sex ed courses. The article said they were not gojng to be notified when more graphic material will be presented.
California parents are currently unable to opt their children out of lessons on gender identity. It’s framed as an anti-bullying lesson and mandated on that basis.
And another post from this page:
Spokane Families: Did you know your district was already using a work group to update its Sex Ed program?
This is the declaration agreed upon by ETR, creator of popular CSE curriculums, at this years World Congress of Sexual Health:
“The participants of the 24th World Congress of the World Association for Sexual Health:
URGE all governments, international intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, health and education authorities, the media, private sector actors, and society at large, and particularly, all member organizations of the World Association for Sexual Health to:
Promote sexual pleasure in law and policy as a fundamental part of sexual health and well-being, grounded in the principles of sexual rights as human rights, including self-determination, non-discrimination, privacy, bodily integrity, and equality; Ensure that comprehensive sexuality education addresses sexual pleasure in an inclusive, evidence-informed and rights-based manner tailored to people’s diverse capacities and needs across the life span, in order to allow experiences of informed, self-determined, respectful, and safe sexual pleasure;”
We are not the only state fighting this. We are not even the only country. This is a global effort to sexualize children around the world. Read about Ghana’s fight to eject CSE.
“These CSE programs have an almost obsessive focus on sexual pleasure, instructing children and youth at the earliest ages on how to obtain sexual pleasure in a variety of ways. Some programs even encourage sexual exploration for children as young as age five. Planned Parenthood, one of the largest purveyors of sexuality education in the United States, explains on their website that sexuality education addresses “values exploration,” “safer sex,” “sexual attitudes and values,” “sexual orientation,” and “sexual pleasure.”
And yet another post from this page: In the FLASH curriculum a step-by-step description of an orgasm is read to a co-ed classroom of 14-year-olds.
Here is a post from Lynn Davenport:
I filed a public information request at the Texas Education Agency to see what this $48,000 invoice was all about with Commit. They said my request was “unclear” or “overbroad” (that’s not a word is it?). I told them to check again under the letter T.
Commit promotes data-driven decisions and champions a test-and-punish culture using high-stakes testing (STAAR) with merit pay (TEI) and their staffing model (ACE). Through data sharing agreements with ISDs, they collect baseline data for a “collective impact” model under StriveTogether in Cincinnati where investors gamble on the futures of kids and their “outcomes” in a social innovation/pay for success scheme. They have expanded their reach beyond DISD elections into influencing legislation (HB1842, SB1882, HB3), various ISD superintendent hires like DeSoto and Midland, as well as the appointment of the TEA commissioner. They have also partnered with TEA, Microsoft, StriveTogether and DataKind for a project that involves machine learning and predictive analytics after gaining access to 16,000 million academic assessment records matched longitudinally for students in 3rd to 8th grade. The office is conveniently located across the street from the Old Parkland business enclave where tenants like Commit founder, Todd Williams (Williams Family Foundation) have executive suites.
And another post from her:
I have long suspected districts are using minority children by keeping them in English Language Learner (ELL) services longer than necessary or even when not necessary at all. It is interesting to hear Michelle Malkin talk about her experience as a minority and native English speaker. She was placed in Limited English Proficiency (LEP) services despite her perfect English and her parents demanded she be removed. It took three months to get her out.
Schools receive more money for kids who don’t speak English. In other districts, they keep Spanish-speaking children taking the Spanish STAAR far longer than necessary, which hinders the kids when they enter middle school.
It is also fascinating to hear Malkin talk about her experience with crap math at a private school and how they came after her.
What’s the solution to education woes? Grassroots moms and dads raising a stink. She said, “Follow the money, find the truth.”
You can’t make this stuff up. Former Waco ISD superintendent Dr. Marcus Nelson was arrested while coming back from a work trip to Houston. He was given a misdemeanor for driving under the influence and in possession of pot.
Mike Morath is trying to get the city of Marlin take over Marlin ISD. The only applicant to apply to consult the city through the takeover was Dr. Nelson, the one who got fired from Waco ISD over the pot incident.
Now Mayor Carolyn Lofton says God put him in their path for a reason. What??? The TEA put him there. Where else is he gonna go?
Marlin: Nelson accepts flat fee to consult on education options:
“Lofton says Nelson was the only applicant who applied to consult the city through the process.
“With the expertise of Dr. Nelson, we have an opportunity to build something better than what we have,” said Nelson.
His hiring is controversial as he resigned from Waco ISD last year over a misdemeanor drug arrest.
“I think everything God does is purposeful, so I think he put him in our path for a reason, we may not see it right now, but down the road, we’ll see what God was trying to do,” said Lofton. “I feel like he’s blessed us by coming here.”
And yet another post from her:
Representative Matt Shaheen and I agree that STAAR does not measure learning and should be replaced. I went to the Public School Finance [window-dressing] Commission in 2018 and told them to get rid of the invalid assessment BUT…not by replacing it with computer adaptive assessments. https://youtu.be/Hm8VVmxoQtw
Is that what Shaheen is proposing?
He wrote in his editorial in DMN:
“We think student testing would yield more accurate assessments by adapting test content to each student’s knowledge level. By moving to an adaptive form of assessment, we can accurately measure grade level, college readiness, proficiency levels and growth. The STAAR fails miserably in these areas and clearly needs to be replaced.”
The problem with computer adaptive assessments is the embedded algorithms and predictive analytics used to create a constant flow of data on children. That data and metadata can be used to benefit venture capitalists who get a return on the academic and emotional “growth” of the child. The proposed replacement of the invalid STAAR test could bring in something far worse by increasing screen time, surveillance capitalism, and data collection.
This is happening in Tulsa. Smart City, TIFs, the Dumbing Down of our Schools, Learning Ecosystems, Blockchain Credentials for School Children, Mass Production of Surveillance Drones, Regulation of Midwives and Doulas so they can make sure EVERY child has a digital tag, the Tulsa Regional Chamber’s Transportation Plan, and celebrating Tulsa as a Top City for Vegans.
Here is a post that was shared in a South Carolina anti-Common Core group:
ALERT!!! The data warehouse bill has been scheduled for a special subcommittee in the Senate next week. . WHAT IT DOES: This bill would create a massive data collecting system to track children from preschool through the workforce (and possibly beyond). The goal? To help meet the needs of the state’s economy and to improve the workforce delivery system. . WHEN/WHERE: Interestingly, this bill was not assigned to the Senate Education Committee, but rather to the Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee, where a special subcommittee has been created just to consider this bill. .
Date: Feb. 5 (next Wednesday)
Time: 10:00 am
Location: Room 209 of the Gressette Building . THIS MEETING IS NOT SCHEDULED TO BE STREAMED OR RECORDED.
The data warehouse was originally created a couple of years ago by state law, so it already exists – this particular bill would just give it structure and parameters for usage. In fact, the Senate education bill references the data warehouse directly in Section 37, where it requires the Dept of Ed to give colleges and universities with teacher preparation programs data on their teacher graduates. That data would include “student learning objective data aggregated by classroom, content, or grade; school; district; and learner demographic.”
It would seem that EL Rothschild is a supporter of this “Inclusive Capitalism” as are our friends at the Ford Foundation and WeWork: https://www.inc-cap.com/about/
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
Great Start is Back!
A happy Saturday evening to all! The first of the legislative bills were dropped yesterday, Jan 31st. One of the first bills out of the gate is a clone of HF 1 Great Start for All Minnesota Children Act. HF 1 is a bill from last year which focused on numerous areas of early childhood. This bill is sadly government at it’s worst as government funds itself into a greater bureaucracy.
This bill advances $30M in home visits, prenatal to 3 years and with health equitable outcomes as well as a definition for health equal outcomes.
A significant $260.7M (not counting base funding of $70M) early learning money which includes the birth initiative. Last year funding extended up to the wealthy income level.
A sizeable allocation of $3.4M for the Parent Aware push.
$2.7M for a new Kindergarten Readiness Assessment to be given in pre-school.
Lastly, millions in funding for First Children’s Finance, the Minnesota Initiative Foundations and more. These groups are to help fund new construction, curriculum, etc. for childcare around the state while dictating that the childcare can only be connected to Parent Aware. As you’ve seen the articles, the government program, Parent Aware, is a sham.
hmm I think we are not talking about the same thing. Communities in Schools (CIS) is a group that puts volunteer mentors into schools.
oh oops – I keep mixing these two up today! Yes, we have CIS too! These are in CAP-Tulsa Promise neighborhoods, with housing, home visits, and the rest. I think they are expanding.
I know they are looking to secure impact funding. They literally advertise in our shopping malls for “mentors”.
the housing is smart housing, I was told.
So twisted! Everything is about setting up these crony networks of entanglement. They’re doing that at the University here too- it’s like predatory grooming. Same thing with “Leadership” programs.
we have a housing development that partnered with Amazon where Alexa is wired into the walls throughout the house. 😳😳😳
NO WAY!!!😨😨😨
yep. It’s called “The Amazon Experience” 😂😂😂
And yet another post from her:
“Data-driven” is Aspen-speak for surveillance capitalism. The hedge funds and billionaires are setting up human capital futures markets that will allow investors to move capital in the “Fourth Revolution” economy, an economy of gig workers, surveillance via Smart Cities, “nudges”, impact programs, and social credit scoring. Our Mayor is helping to implement U.N. Agenda 21 here in Tulsa, and Leadership gatherings like this one expedite the process. No photo description available.
And the post she quoted:
Mayor GT Bynum Yesterday at 1:07 PM
Quite a week for Tulsa on the global stage! Incredibly honored to be keynote speaker at the British government’s National Leadership Conference. The chance to address 400 of the nation’s top government officials on Tulsa’s experience in using data to bring people together and solve some of our greatest challenges was a reminder of how far we’ve come in making our city a global leader. Cabinet Minister Oliver Dowden told me the British government hopes to learn a lot from Tulsa as they pursue a data-driven agenda in the UK. And the brilliant Dr. Sabrina Cohen-Hatton – one of the world’s leaders in fire prevention strategies – is telling others they need to look to Tulsa when it comes to using data. The best part of all of this, for me, was the knowledge that we are only getting started.
And some replies to this post:
Wow. He’s certainly making the rounds isn’t he?
“look to Tulsa when it comes to using data”
All of the SIB stuff comes out of the UK – Sir Ronald Cohen. This is really terrible.
His friend there is a Cohen – probably just a coincidence, though.😁
“we are only getting started….” ominous
his wife works for Kaiser’s personal attorney, who’s New America through and through. And who (Dorwart) was working on foster care reform!!
This is the customary “public input” request that will allow the City Council to claim that it considered our opinions. The Tulsa Regional Chamber has already developed a Transportation Plan that includes autonomous vehicles, geospatial tracking systems for every car, and parking shortages designed to persuade us to give up cars.
Some of these things might be desirable, sure. But the ends don’t justify the means – especially the means that are designed to conceal the circumvention of democratic processes. There’s no use giving them your data in the survey. The plan has been fixed for a long time. This is U.N. Agenda 21, designed to cram people into small spaces where we can be tracked and controlled. By drones and robots that TU designs and that are mass-produced by McLain high school students who were deprived of a real education and instead funneled into a manufacturing class.
And the post that she quoted:
Tulsa City Council Yesterday at 3:02 PM
Tulsans, your input is needed and it only takes 5 minutes!
The City of Tulsa is launching a Mobility Innovation Strategy project and needs your help identifying the biggest challenges in day to day travel. Please take 5 minutes to answer the survey questions. In addition to understanding transportation challenges, questions are intended to improve our understanding of Tulsan’s travel preferences, priorities and attitudes to new forms of mobility such as bikeshare and autonomous vehicles. Your anonymous answers will be used to inform potential pilot projects and strategies to improve transportation for all Tulsans.
Here is a post from the Florida anti-iReady group:
Just found this on the district Osceola web site. This survey will be administered to children in in this district during the month of February. Did anyone get a letter sent home? Are they asking for consent?
Panorama is an SEL data mining company along with Kognito.
How will surveys be confidential if students log onto computer with their ID number
Why dont they give the survey to parents to also fill out? They are relentlessly collecting info from minors 👎. There was a similar survey that filtered through our previous sch in New England and they asked questions like- how many TVs are in your house? How many hours do you watch tv?… I was the one of the few that opted out my kid out. I would opt my kid out this survey too.🤐
IRC did it. Our handbook said they had to ask permission before any surveys, so a bunch of us told them our children would not be doing it. They then sent a permission slip home. I don’t know what kind of response they got, but they definitely tried to sneak it by. They’ve been doing it since last spring.
and our “permission form” was a opt out, not opt in. The letter was sent home via students, not mail, so you can imagine how many high school and middle school students actually gave it to their parents. The letters came home after the survey for high school and middle schoolers that stated you can have their data removed if it was already taken.
And another post from this group:
For those who have opted out of AR testing, what do schools typically provide as an alternative?
My son is in 5th grade- reading at an 8th grade level. Yesterday he got a poor score on a very long book (his first poor score!) that he dedicated 2 weeks of time to. Now he hasn’t reached his “goal” and has to spend their once a week recess reading indoors, and also cannot participate in “fun Friday”.
Is he at a public or charter? If public then they can NOT take away recess!
he is at a Charter
charters often do their own thing. They can take away or refuse all recess with no consequences. Public schools have mandatory recess.
THIS IS NOT how one creates lifelong learners and I would suggest attending a SAC meeting or request a conference with teacher first, curriculum specialist next.
Here is a post from a Nevada anti-Common Core group:
Until MyNews4 broke this story Washoe County School District forced kids to use Kahoot. WCSD students, starting in kindergarten, are still forced to use apps similar to Kahoot. The day before Caleb’s suicide he took a “test” on Kahoot, while at school, titled: “Should I kill myself?” Afterwards WCSD said: “We weren’t comfortable with all of their [Kahoot’s] data security and data privacy terms.” It appears they were “comfortable” with the content of Kahoot?
During the last legislative session WCSD was the only one in the state to oppose one of Protect Nevada Children’s bills, SB403, which would have allowed parents to opt their children out of apps like Kahoot. They were able to gut our bill. Trustee Ellen Minetto is the only current WCSD board member who seems concerned about all of this.
Here is a catalog of articles on the Eds and Meds strategy for using universities and hospitals to “transform” and “reimagine” life as we know it! I encourage you to look over these in order to understand how universities will be engines of globalization and population control.
The chaos at Tulsa has to do with a bunch of billionaires who are working to implement U.N. Agenda 21/30 under the radar. Sound like an unbelievable conspiracy theory? I would have thought so as well had I not been able to trace dozens of key local people and organizations, particularly the Chamber of Commerce, to the UN SDGs. The oil industry has given rise to massive fortunes in Oklahoma, and as we have a relatively low population and a general reluctance to fund public services with tax dollars, we’re an ideal location for this secretive and whole-scale remaking of our community. Moreover, TU’s new Interim President, Janet Levit, has argued for this “Bottom-up International Lawmaking” strategy in law review articles. TU’s former President Clancy was on the Anchor Institution Task Force at Penn. Tulsa is a TechHire and Cities of Service Smart City, and Michael Bloomberg is a frequent visitor. The University of Tulsa is being weaponized to be a hub of neoliberal social engineering, complete with surveillance drone development, trauma and brain studies, and a cybersecurity collaboration with a team of former NSA and IDF directors.
Here is a special issue of the Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement that contains several articles about Anchor Institutions, U.N. SDGs, and (as an added bonus!) contains a piece by an administrator at Tulsa Community College.
policies that are designed specifically to reduce the replacement rate. Our public schools are participating in programs rub by Zero Population Growth (under a new name that I’d have to look up), major funding for a social impact program entitled UpStream, run by Bloomberg and Kaiser through Blue Meridian partners (that targets minorities specifically), and public health insurance policies that require that “population health” be incorporated into all areas of healthcare. Kaiser cites Malthus in interviews, and I think he’s an old school social engineer, of the Herbert Croly type.
To be clear I follow: you’re referring to higher ed as one way to reduce childbirth rates in general, and in part targeting minorities?
yes, and in particular through a community engagement strategy that uses students and faculty to conduct impact pilot studies and administer impact interventions in nearby neighborhoods.
Some of the studies conducted by university faculty or students might touch directly on reproduction-related issues, but they don’t have to in order to contribute to the population mgmt goal. Early-childhood impact interventions that collect personal data contribute to predictive profiling that may lead health practitioners to encourage members of one group to exercise greater reproduction restraint than others. This link suggests how that might work. (And just as an aside, I’m not someone who is categorically opposed to birth control – but I think that’s a private matter and that we ought to stay out of the business of using statistics or anything else to tell women that they should or should not have a child.)
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
🔥🔥WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT🔥🔥
Advocates for Youth, an ally of Planned Parenthood and a proponent of explicit Comprehensive Sexuality Education, promotes the Netflix show, Sex Education, to teens. Their curriculum, Rights, Respect, and Responsibility (3Rs) is currently being taught in the Mansfield School District. Look in the files section for a harm analysis document detailing the content of the curriculum. Of 15 possible harmful elements the 3Rs scores 15!
The author of the article below is biased in favor of the show, and outlines various scenes in graphic detail. Look in the comments section, where I will also post screen shots from the AfY FB page, featuring the characters of the show. I also grabbed a photo from the AfY FB page that shows teens who have had abortions and promotes their “Abortion Out Loud” teen campaign.
AfY is sexualizing, victimizing, and exploiting teens. Is AfY in your child’s school? Is their 3Rs curriculum being taught in your school district? Find out and post about it here.
“Everyone at Moordale Secondary, a proper British upper school that’s the setting for Sex Education, is either thinking about shagging, about to shag, or shagging right now.”
“There’s the young woman in her first lesbian relationship who is terrified of her girlfriend’s vagina; the girl who thinks masturbation may make her clitoris fall off but does it every day anyhow; and the boy who seems to be at the center of an outbreak of pubic lice.”
“An early scene shows Adam having vigorous sex with his girlfriend, Aimee.”
“Adam has a well-deserved reputation for having a huge penis—and internal pressure to be really good at sex.”
“Otis’ first formal sex therapy client is a popular girl who threw up all over her boyfriend’s penis during a blow job and now gags every time she tries to go down.”
“Otis knows about not feeling normal. He is struggling with the fact that he can’t masturbate. He knows he should and goes as far as to pretend he has by leaving porno magazines and used tissues on his bed for his mom to find. He just can’t bring himself to touch himself, and he’s horrified when he has a wet dream about Maeve.”
One of the characters, Maeve has an abortion… “And she meets a loud older woman who is having a second (or possibly third) abortion and tells Maeve it will be OK. She says: “I have three kids, and I feel way more guilty about the ones that I had than the ones I chose not to.”
“The adult with the most screen-time is Otis’s sex therapist mom Jean, played by X-Files alum Gillian Anderson, sporting white hair and a British accent. Her house is filled with sex-related art, her home office comes complete with a file cabinet of dildos, and she hosts vagina workshops. She also sleeps with a new guy every night, spies on her son in an intrusive manner, and shares details of his sex life with her clients.”
‼️‼️🌟🌟 WAY TO GO LUDLOW PARENTS AND TEACHERS 🌟🌟‼️‼️
I am SO proud of the courageous parents and teachers in Ludlow who showed up to their local school district meeting this past week to voice their concern and outrage at some of the sexual, violent, and otherwise inappropriate content found in books that are in the school library. As a result, the school policy of keeping a contested book on the shelves while it is being reviewed by a committee was changed. Any book with objectionable content that has been brought forward by a parent or a teacher will now be removed pending a review by a committee. This is a win!
MIP member [name redacted] did an excellent job highlighting several books and having photocopied pictures from It’s Perfectly Normal (highlighted previously in this group) available to pass around for others to see.
One retired teacher in particular was very eloquent toward the end of the public comment portion, explaining how political correctness and activism has taken over our schools. Another parent argued that the books in question serve to sexualize kids and that it is wrong to expose young students to such graphic content. A mother made the point that the process by which books are reviewed needs to be looked at and revised, asserting that bad content should be caught BEFORE kids are exposed and not after.
Ludlow Superintendent Todd Gazda said that the school librarian makes book choices based off of recommendations from the American Library Association. Apparently, he isn’t aware of the fact that the ALA has been overtaken by special interest groups and political activists! Perhaps the concerned parents and teachers of Ludlow can provide him some reputable information to review on this matter.
I did have one question about the book review committee, which Superintendent Gazda said would be assembled. He stated that the school policy for the review committee says it should to be comprised of a librarian, a principle, two teachers, and members of the school committee from the district. Why not also a parent or two?
If you are a member of MIP and you attended and spoke at this meeting please comment on this post. And keep us posted about further progress made on this issue.
We can make a difference if we band together and speak!
Here we go again Elkhart ISD. We have a new principal and I’m now getting phone calls about my daughter (8th grader) not participating in STAAR. Ive once again been told that bc of the number of days that she will miss they are obligated to report to CPS for truancy. I send her everyday, THEY send her home. I have also been “advised” that they do not use GPC for promotion/retention. I would love to send her to a private school but there are NONE in our area. Advice/suggestions on how to handle this situation?
And some replies to this post:
Required to notify CPS? We have been referred to Truancy for several years in a row due to attendance, but never to CPS. Child Services doesn’t, from my understanding, deal with truancy unless they are considering it educational neglect
I’m a foster/adopt parent and an educator CPS has ZERO connection to truancy! And all you can do for a report to CPS is fill out their “form” and then they decide if they need to follow up and open a case! I’ve made numerous CPS reports for FAR WORSE then a child missing a week of school and they’ve done nothing! That’s a misconstrued threat they are making!
why would an administration feel the need to clog an already overburdened and understaffed state agency with crap like this? It is obvious retaliation.
they do it all. the. time. Had it done to us last year when we were pressing for sped services for our daughter who has more letter dx then the alphabet! They reported the exact same day we won our appeal for testing. 🤔 CPS closed the case in less then a week and the worker said to me “Sounds like a communication issue with the school…” yeah… a communications issue where the school hates that we “communicate” until our child has her needs met! 🙄. It was still a drain on our family and a definite nonneed for CPS who is already spread thin!
I have had 2 charter schools to tell me that because of my daughter’s absences that she would have to go to summer school. I informed them that the only way she would have to do it as truancy is if i had no idea where she was and since ALL of her absences was because of either sickness or dr appts and with ALL of her absences she returns with notes from a doctor that NO its NOT considered truancy… The 2nd charter school i convinced them to place in her IEP that regardless if she passes or fails that she would still be promoted to the next grade. They werent expecting me to use it against them when i still made dr appts for my daughter the weeks of testing. 🐻
And another post from this group:
So a teacher pulls my 9th grader aside and tells her she needs to take staar in spring to graduate. My daughter says it’s up to my mom and the teacher says that she heard I gave my Dtr an option and she not to take it. Then she tries to scare her telling her that her friends will leave her behind. I’m beyond pissed.
It appears that the Washington radical CSE bill, which has already passed the Senate, has now passed a House committee and will soon go for a full House vote.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
This is the kind of thing that’s coming, folks. And this is why the big-data speculators (think billionaire’s hedge funds) want access to schoolchildren’s data: for predictive risk profiling and cost-offset behavioral script. Because schools don’t have the same privacy protections as independent medical and mental health providers, the big-data speculators are pushing to locate those types of services within schools, as wrap-around services. It’s not motivated by a sudden concern for children’s well-being – it’s a predatory data grab for behavior control.
And here is the post that she quoted:
“The Milwaukee Public Museum and the union that represents their employees have entered a pitched battle over the terms of their new contract, which includes a unusual provision that would require employees to have their private medical data tracked and financially penalize them for falling behind in a wellness program.
“We would like to explain something more about forced labour in the Netherlands and surrounding countries. If you are unemployed in the Netherlands and you don’t have any income or savings you can apply for social welfare. However, if you do so, you are subject to a system of strict government control and legal obligations. You have to do everything you can to find a paid job, and you have to accept any paid job that you can get or that is offered to you. Municipalities can also force you to participate in forced labour programs, in which you have to work for free. You only get your welfare benefits, which is no salary, and the minimum wage rules for people with paid jobs are violated. You are denied normal workers’ rights, like the right to strike. You are still subject to the repressive regime of the municipality for welfare receivers, which means that you have to give the government access to your private data like bank accounts, that you are subject to government checks concerning housing and living together, and so on. Also, if according to your case manager you don’t try hard enough to find a paid job, your benefits might be suspended for up to three months, or even cut indefinitely. If you refuse to participate in a forced labour program, you can also expect punishment. The only legal argument for not complying to do forced labour or accepting any kind of shitty job is if you can prove that you have a medical condition.”
This post features videos from a selection of presentations I gave in Dallas and Tulsa a few weeks ago, but the real shocker is at the end – photos of the Debate Room at Old Parkland in Dallas. If you want to see where the shadow government is cutting deals, my bet is that a lot of it is going down in that room. Where Big Oil and Global Finance meets “Smart”Cities and Human Capital Investments.
This was written in 2011 by Parag Khanna, a senior research fellow at the New America. Khanna is a proponent of technocracy, but even his piece here signals the very dangerous trajectory of the New World Order.
New America has a strong presence in Tulsa, and is developing blockchain technology for social impact investing. It supports a militarized surveillance state, and the transformation of TU into a hub of aerospace, health, and cybersecurity innovation reflects that pattern.
George Kaiser and his social impact thugs are solidifying their death grip on education and representative government, beginning here in Tulsa, with the transformation of TU and TPS into weapons of tyrannical thought-leadership.
And guess who controls all the DATA in Oklahoma’s public health and public education systems? The same organization that has controlling interests in private health insurance, in managing corporate and individual retirement accounts, in smart ulities and housing, and in Department of Defense cybersecurity contracts. Blockchain slavery, Oklahoma is running toward you with open arms.
And the post that she quoted:
Governor Stitt — MEDICAID now used to pay Education costs
What is your plan for Special Education’s unlimited future cost via Medicaid? In your State of the State speech you called for a stop to big government….. but MEDICAID EXPANSION IS BIG GOVERNMENT!
Special Education is already costing untold millions of dollars paid out through medicaid. There is NO limit to what it can cost in the future. Medicaid is being used to pay schools for the cost for health (and mental health) services including: speech, asthma, diabetes, physical, occupational and behavioral therapists.
Now mental health testing and services in K-12 pubic schools are being expanded and Governor you have apparently joined State Superintendent Hofmeister to support her implementation of this costly and dangerous new agenda.
Her plan involves the state identifying, labeling and giving a number rating to children believed to be “at risk” due to “Adverse Childhood Experiences”. ACEs are a very broad category which includes everything from violence to parental discord. (Just think about that for a minute.)
Hofmeister testified before a Congressional House Committee on Trauma and Gun Violence on Sept. 11, 2019. She said that “Oklahoma’s youngest children suffer more trauma than those in any other state.” She said “75% of our students suffer moderate or serious depression” (which is a category of mental illness). Whose definition was used to label 75% of Oklahoma’s children?
This entire agenda is a slippery slope and needs close examination for many reasons. Tapping Medicaid for Behavior therapy is a NEVER ending cost…. and worse than the cost is the danger of expanding K-12 into state controlled psychological evaluation and treatment centers. The collection of personal private data from students working online is also being increased under the plan, adding to the power of government over our lives. Good teachers and parents are fleeing the public schools and this BIG GOVERNMENT control of mental health will make things even worse. (The state can add this to the curriculum and testing for public Charter Schools as well.)
Without even factoring in the increased costs in Special Education Behavioral Services, MANY people, especially Republicans, already have concerns about Medicaid expansion by the state.
OCPA estimates 40 percent of the state population would become Medicaid eligible. I talked to a very knowledgeable insurance specialist who says this will KILL his private sector business, which can serve citizens better than the state. How does killing the private sector and expanding this government program decrease big government, which you say is a problem?
How much will our taxes increase to pay for this medicaid expansion? NO one knows but we all know state and federal government only runs with our hard earned tax dollars.
If the only goal is “efficiency” that can drive us into more centralized control. The consequences need careful scrutiny too by getting ALL the facts on the table. I am a special education teacher and know well from experience and education what the students’ needs are and BIG GOVERNMENT is NOT the answer!
And yet another post from her:
Almost all of these individuals and organizations have influenced the downward spiral of education here in Tulsa. Look at who is at the helm at TU – Levit, Clancy, and of course everything goes back to Kaiser. The Levits and many University of Tulsa Board members have pumped tons of money into Teach for America, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they tried to wreck TU’s education program on purpose. Clancy did the whole Harvard Institute thing, and Gates, Ballmer, Kaiser and Bloomberg are thick as thieves. Then there is Gist and the Broadies at TPS, joining arms with Impact Tulsa, part of the StriveTogether network. Once TU and TPS are welded into the P20 pipeline… I shudder to think. That’s why I’ve consistently argued that both of these institutions -TU and TPS – have to be defended together. Because once one falls, the plunderers won’t let the other one escape.
Jacob Howland, professor of philosophy and religion at Tulsa University, speaks to the ways the humanities at his school are being dismantled and replaced with skills-based cyber-security training. If you want to see first hand how this shift in higher-education is creating an online, “just in time,” behaviorist rat race to see who can earn enough badges to win a short-term gig, give it a listen.
I think one thing we need to continue to reinforce is that the “jobs” backed by Lumina Foundation et al that will be forced upon people will be to build and defend a militarized surveillance state apparatus. Of course the surveillance state runs on data and energy and water. The energy piece is where the petroleum interests come in.
Here is a post from the Common Core Diva:
Warriors, maybe Medicaid funds in education don’t concern you. Maybe they do. They should, as Medicaid/care is the largest federal government entitlement we have. Has the CCSS Machine infiltrated Medicaid?! Absolutely! How will the President’s newest initiative help the CCSS Machine? Will the States be “punished” if they don’t comply? Indeed! I have it laid out for you.
TN is being punished in the new block grants. Because they didn’t expand Medicaid at the State level first. This initiative will be a manipulated tool to force States to expand..in others words Medicaid for all. It socialism from all sides.
Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
There are THREE education bills that will increase state testing in K – 6th grade and will cost us millions. One bill adds a math test at the beginning of the year, in the middle of the year, at the end of the year in kindergarten to 3rd grade. All the data goes to the state. https://le.utah.gov/~2020/bills/static/HB0114.html Another bill adds a reading test at the beginning of the year, in the middle of the year, at the end of the year in 4th – 6th grade. All the data goes to the state. https://le.utah.gov/~2020/bills/static/SB0073.html Another ties funding to the kindergarten KEEP test. All the data from the PEEP & the KEEP tests goes to the state, & this bill allows the data to go to the state even if the school is not participating in the grant program. https://le.utah.gov/~2020/bills/static/HB0099.html Wanna know how much all this will cost? $1,500,000 ongoing (meaning every single year) + $17,943,000 ongoing + $18,647,200 ongoing +
$45,000 ongoing
$38+ MILLION ongoing funds Yes, Utah, we have a spending problem & it’s always in education programs. And that’s not even the amount that they want to eventually get. They want MILLIONS more to expand all of these programs (and make no mistake, they will expand it in the years to come…. it’s what they do). These bills are not going to be easy to defeat because they are being driven by the State Office of Education as part of their strategic plan and they have been working with the Legislature Education Committees during the Interim.
Someone commented in the committee meeting that they want us to reduce the end-of-year testing, but keep adding these benchmark tests. We can’t. Wanna know why? Because those end-of-year tests are required by the federal government. If you don’t want them. STOP TAKING FEDERAL FUNDS. It’s the only way. But in the meantime, STOP ADDING MORE STATE TESTING.
Here is a post that I found from someone on Facebook from Oklahoma:
More and more homeless….. coming to OKC? Paid to come? Wake up leaders!! We are so rich here and have so much extra money from taxes that we need to keep expanding services? This is absolutely ridiculous. Thanks to FOX 25 for covering this important issue!
back in the 90s the state ran mental hospitals dropped patients off in Tulsa with nowhere to go when they lost funding. I heard this many times never really believing buses came to Tulsa till I talked to a dr from Miami who said it is very true 😢
I think this is part of the strategy to relocate people from rural to urban areas as part of U.N. Agenda 21. The social engineers are stepping up their game. People need to keep a watchful eye on city planners.
Also….. and not removed from Agenda 21 supporters is the undermning of culture and growing government services by social engineers. Our taxes, our culture, opportunities for our children all changed due to this overload of burden.
And another post from her:
Last week in Tulsa I presented an overview of K-12 education in Oklahoma. The video I planned to post had portions with a child talking in the audience…. so it was too hard to hear. I will be working on a new video using portions of the Tulsa presentation and other updated information about the ACT now the state high school test, which has been changed to the Common Core national model for workforce categories. I will post that new video in the future. For now…. here is a 12 minute radio interview I did about Oklahoma’s 8-year plan for K-12, which is still relevant.
Oklahoma’s 8-year plan for K-12 More top-down control from the State through this plan.
Woodie Guthrie ….. hero to socialists/ Marxist/ communists…… (famous message in song — Your Land Doesn’t Belong to You)
Guthrie is celebrated in Tulsa by a museum of his life and works and “greens” space named for him …. courtesy of George Kaiser changing the culture via social engineering
And the post that she quoted:
Nancy Pelosi -last night in protest, led with the song “This Land is Your Land”. I really liked that song in high school when we sang it in chorus. I only learned later that Woodie Guthrie, Oklahoman, said he wrote it to protest “God Bless America” by Kate Smith which was a top favorite nationwide at that time. Guthrie was an avowed Socialist/Communist. The song was meant to claim that land /property does not and can not belong to individuals. That is the history we didn’t know.
And some replies to this post:
Wow! Nice catch! So many things we go along with having no idea there true meaning! Deception is running rampant!
If you’ve ever read his biography, it would instantly bust your bubble about Guthrie. Another bubble that popped was to find out he was taken under the wing of Will Geer when Guthrie left for California. You know, Grandpa Walton on the famous TV series. They were peas in a pod. Ruined The Waltons for me.
I didn’t know Will Geer was a commie.
Senator Mc Carthy was right, thats why they destroyed him
Here is a post that I found from this user’s page:
Just what we are seeing in the beef industry. Same strategy being used on America’s food producers.
And some replies to this post:
we know the UN Sustainability goals are fueling this destructive top down control. We shall keep educating about what is happening!
yes we will! Take a look at the World Wildlife Fund’s 2050 goals for the commodities they deem UNSUSTAINABLE!
We better all wake up. Kaiser and Gates have been at this centralized control game a long time. If they can continue to indoctrinate children ( Hitler’s Youth comes to mind) they can over throw us. They almost have control of our food production system. A nation must be able to feed her own people not reliant on other countries but they have incrementally and strategically removed that ability.
[name redacted] and her family have ranch land in Western Okla. She has years of experience with the UN, Global Corporate meat packers and others who want to control and shut down our traditional ranching, beef production and land ownership. [name redacted] can you link the interview you did with Western Journal a few years ago…
And another post from this user’a wall:
The current state school board member from Tulsa (one of 6 members all appointed by the Governor) is also the director of Impact Tulsa. Such a convenient positioning to get the Impact investors through the process to make $$$$$$. Here is to hoping many more eyes are opening as we continue to lay out the facts. Love you and appreciate you!! https://sde.ok.gov/about/carlisha-bradley
Here is a post from a New York anti-radical sex ed group:
URGENT ACTION NEEDED!
NYS currently has a bill in committee to mandate teaching Comprehensive Sexuality Education aligned to the new National Education Sexuality Standards. There are approximately 70 sponsors and co-sponsors between the assembly and senate companion bill. We need to educate our legislators on what CSE is and why it does not belong in our schools.
Comprehensive Sexuality Education is a graphic and age inappropriate form of sex ed. It is a k-12 program, embedded in curriculum throughout the year, with no real opt out provisions. The Common Core State Standards for ELA and math served as a model for the National Sexuality Education Standards. Three organizations-Advocates for Youth, Answer, and Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S. (SIECUS)-collaborated on the Future of Sex Education Initiative (FoSE) to write and promote the NSES as a way to structure comprehensive sexuality education courses throughout the country. These are new standards, written around 2012, with much controversy in states that have already adopted. SIECUS was formed by Mary Calderone, a Planned Parenthood medical director, and birthed from the Kinsey Institute. (Read up on Kinsey and his experimentation with children). SIECUS believes the Common Core State Standards illustrates a way to enact systemic ed reform in sex education throughout the country.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
MIT really wants to analyze ALL our social relations. We’re not supposed to worry about it. That’s why everything has to be run through digital interfaces – education, healthcare, therapy. Whose interests are going to come first? The military/police state and global finance. To think otherwise is incredibly naive. https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/honest-signals
And another post from her: So, Nancy Lublis mined the data from Crisis Text Line to generate corporate artificial intelligence software. She founded Crisis Text Line and now Loris.ai and sits on the board of McGraw Hill Education. The Board chair of McGraw Hill Education, Larry Berg, serves on the board of Crisis text line as well.
Evidently mining texts from people contemplating suicide gives them a “proprietary edge” in managing “hard conversations.” Sick, sick, sick.
Plus McGraw Hill Education, where she is on the board, is focusing on AI instruction delivery. So it’s like they are setting themselves up to carry out digital psychological warfare on students. The board chair of McGraw Hill is also on the board of Crisis Text Line.
I found it mapping the McGraw Hill Education Board. I found it really strange that the chair and the next person down were both with Crisis Text line.
The “Do Something” company she founded is supposedly “youth led” “social impact” volunteering. I can totally see how they might set up teens with anxiety or depression for a “social prescription” to “volunteer” or do “community service” with an affiliated community-based program and track all of that data to profit investors in mental health. https://www.dosomething.org/us
And some replies to this post:
Holy crap. These people are psychopaths. We have mental health counselors from Blue Shield on campus now. I wonder what data they are sharing with whom. We’ve had several suicides at our school.
Did you see my comment about “Do Something” and social prescribing?
And Omidyar is an investor in it.
I’m sure people who access that text line have no idea how their data is being used.
This is so awful, I can’t even process it right now.
And this tag line “A loris is a small, slender, tailless, large-eyed, nocturnal lemur. It is undeniably adorable…but a bite from the loris could kill a human. The loris is our mascot: effective conversation skills might seem soft and cuddly, but bad communication is the stuff that kills careers and companies.”
I mean who even thinks up stuff like that?
a necromancer. Only a necromancer could come up with that.
And another post from her:
I’ve been listening to talks today about “network science” put out by MIT Media Lab in 2011. Consider the fact governments are regularly acting on behalf of global corporate interests, harming the very people they were theoretically elected to serve. A powerful example of this is today’s raids on unceded Wetsuweten lands by the RCMP to allow devastating gas pipeline construction on lands that are not legally part of Canada.
This post is just a tiny bit of that signals intelligence network, feeding the borg. They want to know who the connectors are, what nodes need to be taken out when that time comes. Think of today’s youth who are being groomed to accept future careers as data scientists. Will they realize their training is meant to benefit those in power at the expense of all the people they care about?
Ok. This map is really giving me the chills. It’s signals intelligence and social engineering folks. I can’t figure out which is worse; that they know what they are doing or they don’t.
It’s actually hard to under-emphasize the perfect absurdity of this concept.
The raving lunatics in Albany (who cheered at the passage of infantacide legislation) have now appointed THEMSELVES as the arbiters of sanity in NYS.
NYS to mandate ‘mental hygiene’ tests for those who seek to buy, sell, loan/gift a rifle, shotgun or firearm. Bill establishes new department to execute exams determining the mental fitness of citizens. Who can’t see this being expanded to other areas?
Tulsa is a Bloomberg “Cities of Service” city, which is another name for a What Works City. Seattle and Tulsa are tracking very closely. Clayton Christensen value-based-payments healthcare, smart surveillance, and more.
Here is a post from the Minnnestoa anti-Common Core group:
Cradle to grave control by government. Destroying home and small center child care and is an added bonus. Big corporate child care receives a pass through the Parent Aware system. What about those Human Capital Bonds? The more children that government can place on assistance, the more human capital your kids they have to sell bonds.
“Minnesota House Democrats want to spend as much as $500 million of the state’s projected $1.3 billion budget surplus on a one-time bump in spending on early childhood education and child care, their leaders announced Thursday as they rolled out their agenda for the 2020 session.”
They want to establish a new infrastructure and protocols for putting three year olds in care of the state, and then demagogue next election cycle that the Republicans hate children because they refuse to fund it in perpetuity. You know, pardon my French, but f** these people. They want to turn MN into CA, and watching what is going on there and in other Leftist hellholes, it is looking like they are intentionally “Cloward-Piven-ing” entire states. They want collapse so they can seize control.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
This makes me want to drive to Norman to purchase these books! Libraries are being digitized – and transformed into maker-spaces – in droves. This is a sign of a society in decay and totalitarianism ascendant.
Reading in digital format is not the same thing as reading from a printed text. Comprehension and retention suffer in digital delivery. Beyond that, all web-based interactions – including accessing books online – are recorded. Somewhere. Permanently. And these apps not only track what one has accessed, but also how fast one reads it, when one reads it, what words one might need to look up, what facial expressions one displays at particular passages, and much more. As we move closer to digital identity and blockchain credentials for human beings, we must ask ourselves, do we want anything and everything we read or watch listen to to become part of our permanent record? Won’t this cause us to avoid books and ideas that aren’t approved by thought-leaders out of fear of some sanction? Will parents be willing to let their children access materials that are contrary to the social-emotional ethos that schools require?
If this sounds far-fetched, consider this: Common Core deliberately impaired students’ reading proficiencies. It prepared for the end of books. It’s taken about 30 years or so to get us to this point, but here we are. Just as the technocrats wanted.
That Ravitch piece in Time magazine? Notice how it says nothing about what is coming in terms of ed-tech, pay for success, or big data profiling of students? Well, Marc Benioff owns Time. He’s also the godfather to one of Gavin Newsom’s kids. His company, Salesforce, is involved with social service data dashboards, Sesame Credit in China, apps that track a student’s “soft skills,” and they have contracts with ICE. So how about we not give him any more clicks / exposure? He’s not on the side of the people, and the messages he chooses to put out are put out for a very specific reason. That reason is to keep you narrowly focused as his predatory data analytics people lock down all the systems before you even understand the nature of the game you’re in or that you have been completely played by the impact investors. Salesforce provided seed funding for Social Suite for blockchain identity based impact investing. See the slideshare here.
Exactly. The behavioral compliance of humans to authoritarian systems, as tracked digitally in real time. We are fucked and everyone is having all the wrong conversations online all the time.
Here is a post from the Washington anti-radical sex ed page:
“In Baltimore city, the nurses are not part of the school. They’re not school employees, they are health department employees,” Ledyard said. “So the nurse said, ‘we don’t have to talk with you,’ pursuant to this law. In Maryland, minors can receive contraceptive services without parental knowledge or consent, according to Planned Parenthood. “They call me for Tylenol, but they don’t call me about birth control,” Lambert told the station. “You gave my daughter this insertion so she might be suffering from that, but do they even look at that?“”
Maryland Public Schools has several School-Based Health Centers providing onsite preventive and primary health services throughout the state’s 24 jurisdictions. Several of Baltimore city’s 17 School-Based Health Centers provide reproductive health care services, according to WMAR-TV.”
School based health centers insert themselves between parents and their children by providing advice and guidance free access to birth control and other services minor children without parental knowledge or consent. Most parents would ask when and where their child is having sex, and with whom. They would start a discussion with their child about choosing the right partners and how sex works into their values and morals. School clinics just give them the goods without the uncomfortable conversations. Three bills have been introduced that would allow or mandate school clinics in our state.
SB6279-oppose Health clinic HB2288- oppose Health clinic SB6563- Oppose Health clinic
Follow the link and comment on each of these bills.
A friend in the bethel school district already received an email that one of these clinics will be opening on their campus soon. They aren’t even waiting for the official law- they have already begun!!
some school districts have paid to have lawyers look into the legality of these clinics and how to implement them without the schools taking liability. All of the proposed laws for school clinics do this legwork for them allowing them to easily add clinics if they wish. Some bills go so far as to mandate that schools add clinics.
This example here is exactly why this should not be happening in ANY state. You want to give kids “birth control” hand out condoms if you must. BUT, Do Not give medications, implants or any other device that could cause the minor child some kind of reaction. Especially one that may require surgical intervention. Even birth control pills can cause major issues. I know this because anything with progesterone whether I receive it thru digestion or skin will make me vomit for days and days and days. It happens. This is madness.
Steilacoom schools already have it, though i think it’s primarily for military
every law they are imposing on our children brings them closer and closer to being wards of the state! They have broken the family unit. You stating “sorry ladies it’s state law…” leads me to believe you’re okay with this all attack on families! You’re okay with 13yr olds getting abortions that carry inherent risks without receiving proper evaluation and care from their personal Dr. Then you’re okay when that child dies of sepsis because her mom was not informed of the procedure and thought her fever and not feeling well was just a sickness going around! Wake up Laura! We’re allowing them to harm our children.
And another post from this page:
“The colleagues also acknowledge that “Youth who engage in sexting open themselves up to possible significant and long-term consequences, such as humiliation, extortion, victimization, school sanction, reputational damage, and even criminal charges.”
Despite this, they believe that there should be education for children about how to “sext” safely. They define safe sexting education as “teaching youth about the possible consequences” while still “equipping them with the knowledge to minimize harms that may result.”
The report includes ten key take-aways for adults to teach children about sexting including only sending illicit messages to people who they “know and fully trust.” and a suggestion to “consider boudoir pictures” instead of full nude images.
Patchin told Campus Reform that this information “would fit best in a comprehensive sex education curriculum. The strategies might also be conveyed by parents who might be concerned about their kids’ online behaviors.”
Porn Literacy. OSPI had several articles on porn in their monthly Sexual Health Newsletter the last few months including this one in December.
Despite the well known harms of pornography the article says kids use porn to try to learn about sex and that “research is showing that porn might not be the “bad educator” we have made it out to be: young people may not be learning risk-taking behaviors from porn,” and it describes a Porn Literacy class in Boston, saying, “The curriculum does not intend to teach that porn is “good” or “bad” (nor do they view any porn); instead the instructors accept whatever outcome students leave the course with, whether that is feeling uninterested in porn, or curious to explore more. “
Given the workgroup making recommendations for HB 2184 called for revisions to the standards to provide information for pornography, sexting, and social media safety, more kids may start getting this type of class.
A long-time sex ed educator has carefully reviewed the amendments to HB 2184 that was passed in the education committee. One standout item is that the term “public schools” has been “redefined to include “common schools, charter schools, and other specified schools.” This grab of power in the area of sexuality is vaguely written; it will cause once protected schools to submit to these standards.”
The following amendments have been added to HB2184 which make it even more offensive to citizens who believe in local control and optimum health goals for individuals, families and society. Only the amendments that made mandatory sex ed intolerable were approved in the house education committee. The comments below explain the main points of concern.
AMH ED H4377.1 means that ALL students will be subject to CSE regardless of their need. Not only is this poor teaching strategy, it is harmful to students that have been abused. Graphic images and discussions trigger early childhood trauma. This also makes it impossible to have a class that would benefit students suffering from dysphoria that need additional care and considerations. Instead all students will be subject to the trauma and dysphoria situations of the most abused child in the classroom.
AMH ED MOET 106 adds many hours to the required school curriculum. Particularly for schools that were doing the required 2-hour HIV instruction each year, they will have to add materials. This amendment created another conflict needing resolution for districts.
Social and emotional learning standard requirements are now linked to the draconian measures, threats and reporting in CSE. Relating to sexuality issues, K-3rd benchmarks/standards[1]are open to interpretation. A teacher could justify bringing in Drag Queens, Clerics or transcendental meditation. The standards declare autonomy from the family and the importance of acceptance of all different values including peer pressure. Read the K-3 Benchmarks Early Elementary column that identifies individual and community rights and responsibilities, cultural acceptance to care of natural environment with sexuality issues in mind. These standards, as well as CSE standards, are changeable without any oversight by the local community, the legislature or any elected officials except the Superintendent of OSPI.
Grades 4 and or 5 will receive CSE at least once. Fifth grade already has HIV requirements. Grades 6th -8th will have two courses of CSE. Most of the currently used programs are between 20-30 classes, 4-6 weeks of sexuality instruction times 2. High school has been achieving the health education graduation requirement with one year of about 30 hours of sex ed but this amendment will require 50-60 hours during high school.
AMH ED H4459.1 This amendment brings in federal law, making content and values even farther from local control than it is now. Since the amendment didn’t identify which federal laws it may be the office that promotes abstinence until marriage or the one that uses the United Nations guidelines for sexuality and population control.
The reality is that they are alluding to copyright laws because they want to block parents from being able to see materials. Copyright laws are to protect the creator of materials from losing revenue. Using them to inform parents, education purposes and civic discussions do not violate copyright. Even having them for view in a library or online do not violate the publisher’s rights. Parents need to get an elected official to fight for a watermarked copy so that materials can be seen without paying for it or taking credit for the document.
OSPI will utilize K-12 learning standards from the January 2005 guidelines for sexual health information and disease prevention which are not in alignment with the standards online, now. This amendment is another conflict with HIV education implementation. OSPI “will determine the content for public schools (sic) ((districts)), teachers, and guest speakers.” OSPI “will make any related information, model policies, curricula, or other resources available on their web sites.” This is very far from local control or reflective of local cultural norms.
AMH ED H4385.1 OSPI shall periodically review and revise, training materials, for classroom teachers and principals to implement by March 1, 2021. OSPI is in capricious control of community norms and even control of individual teacher’s classrooms; this type of control is not like any other subject area in schools. There is no accountability for OSPI and its ever new and changing values, ignoring family and religious values. There is no end to the slide of values this amendment gives to OSPI.
AMH ED H4460.1 declares total control of content and training for ALL districts. In most cases, this would be considered, thought control or censorship.
OSPI will “provide technical assistance to schools and school districts that is consistent with the curricula review, selection, and development.”
AMH ED H4386.1 relieves OSPI from the responsibility of reporting to the legislature, the summary of what is happening regarding sex education to the state legislature. For the last 10 year, OSPI was supposed to report to the legislature and they didn’t compile or send a single report.
Now, this amendment lays the responsibility on the local districts to report compliance to OSPI and the results will only be given to the education committee. These decisions impact all districts and all legislators.
Note the adding of the word “comprehensive” to the description of “sexual health education,” means that only one kind of curriculum is allowable. The word “Comprehensive” should be capitalized since it is a trademark for the (Planned Parenthood, SEICUS, Advocates for Youth and LGBTQ movement) curricula.
Warning: When reports of compliance are not sent, a school is in jeopardy of a state take over or the loss of state funds. These threats are taken seriously by school boards.
AMH ED H4375.1 says that integration into the sexual education is not required in other subject areas.
It doesn’t prohibit or prevent content carryover. But last year, the legislature gave teachers a pass on bringing in LGBTQ graphic sexual materials if the teacher felt it appropriate. The teacher did not have to notify parents or the district and would have no negative consequences on their work history. This is still a concern since the curricula recommended by OSPI has recommendations for community referrals and methods of infusing sexuality concepts in other subject areas at the end of chapters. Those curricula should be disallowed, if this amendment is authentic.
AMH ED H4378.1 redefines “public schools” to include “common schools, charter schools, and other specified schools.” This grab of power in the area of sexuality is vaguely written; it will cause once protected schools to submit to these standards. Since OSPI may not have financial control over these additional schools, they may use accreditation as a tool against these personally-funded schools, because they do have absolute control over accreditation.
AMH ED MOET 107 incorporated a questionable practice of “affirmative consent.” All schools, apparently all students grade 4-12 will teach, “”Affirmative consent” means a conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity as a requirement before sexual activity;” Most of these students are not legally allowed to have sexual intercourse.
The topics not mentioned are boundaries, refusal skills or situation risk factors but they will teach how to know signals if the other person wants to have sex. This is preposterous for immature teens. There are no concrete instructional methods that have been shown scientifically beneficial in avoiding increases in coercion, date rape or later allegations evident in the “Me, too” movement. Will students smile and nod or will they be given a consent form to sign and what time frame will the permission cover?
Contact your schools, neighbors, friends and faith leaders! This cannot be healthy. The bill goes to the Rules Committee in the house and then for a vote by all house members. Rules committee members

“In public, including on Twitter, Salesforce boasted about fighting human trafficking using its data tools. But behind closed doors, Salesforce’s data tools were actually providing the backbone of Backpage’s exponential growth. Salesforce didn’t just provide Backpage with a customer-ready version of its data and marketing tools. Salesforce designed and implemented a heavily customized enterprise database tailored for Backpage’s operations, both locally and internationally. With Salesforce’s guidance, Backpage was able to use Salesforce’s tools to market to new “users” — that is, pimps, johns, and traffickers — on three continents.”
And a reply to this post:
Interesting that this was brought up recently too:
Women’s March also fought against the closing of Backpages. They said that it “hurt sex workers”. Actually, a bunch of areas are trying to legalize prostitution and I’m wondering if that’s connected too. I know that Planned Parenthood has ties to sex trafficking coverups as they only care about the money from abortions. Also, I believe a while back that Craigslist got in trouble or something for facilitating human/sex trafficking and that Craigslist donates to Planned Parenthood.
And then there’s talk of human trafficking in the CPS/DCFS system. (And a few statesmen trying to talk about it meeting untimely ends, like the Senator from Georgia.)
And here is a post from this friend of mine:
Rippleworks Foundation was created by Chris Larsen and his wife Lyna Lam
Crypto-powered foundation Rippleworks expands its reach
SAN FRANCISCO — UNICEF can now receive, hold, and disburse digital currency built on blockchain technology with the launch of the UNICEF Cryptocurrency Fund. A growing number of nonprofit organizations accept donations in cryptocurrency, but UNICEF is the first U.N. agency to accept “crypto as crypto without converting it,” said Chris Fabian, who co-founded UNICEF’s Innovation Unit and leads UNICEF Ventures.
Interesting, interesting – this article is from 1977 BTW. I did not know this side of Jimmy Carter-his ties to David Rockefeller and the Trilateral Commission. This sheds some light on how Habitat for Humanity will be fitting into the “housing first” social impact agenda. We are seeing this already in Philadelphia. Workforce training for “impact” in the trades? Smart housing innovation tied to UN SDGs, plus a smidge of surveillance? This is a deep, deep rabbit hole indeed. Wheels of technocracy…these folks play a LONG game.
“The Trilateral Commission’s executive director, Zbigniew Brzezinski, became quite literally Jimmy Carter’s tutor, and now, of course, directs the White House foreign policy staff, as Henry Kissinger did in the first Nixon term. Perhaps all David Rockefeller hoped for in assembling the American delegation, a Trilateral colleague mused the other day, was to be sure he included the prospective secretary of state in the era following Nixon’s. How could he have guessed that his Trilateralists would staff all major policy posts in the new government—including, as if by a miracle, the vice presidency and the presidency? How indeed?”
And some replies to this post:
Remember how a few yrs ago papers were declassified and it was revealed that Carter established the Muhajadeen? Rather than not comment on it he bragged that it was him and not Bush Sr.
I think the Trilateral Commission has been running the West since the early 1970s. Wow.
So, we don’t share the same political outlook, but the idea of technocracy running on some sort of industrial economic model tied to “energy” systems makes the role of TX and OK in this whole mix really interesting. I followed up on the info in his talk make my technocracy map yesterday.
I think it may also explain why so many key players have backgrounds in oil and mining like Vander Ark and Luksha.
he spoke in Houston years ago. Gates told him to visit schools and report back what he thought. Who cares what he thinks? 6 mos of touring ain’t nothin
I read Patrick Wood’s Technocracy Rising where he points out the reality that there will be no left or right under technocracy. Such compelling research.
Timestamp 9 mintes on Vanderk Ark – Milwaukee school pushing CBE. Not all teachers / parents “were ready,” so they cut the school in half and created an “in-district” charter to push the CBE agenda. I’m sure that is the larger plan. Plus, so much praise of Summit playlists.
The book from the time is Holly Sklar, Trilateralism.
Couldn’t find it online yet in complete form but here are big excerpts.
This is all so important. I find it so frustrating to try to break through the contrived media noise that would seek to bury this information. I don’t understand why it is not central to the discussions about a proper course to address the environmental needs of the planet? Clearly the UN SDGs are a total extension of Rockefeller’s imperial program to subjugate the planet and all things living on it for his profit. So frustrating.
“The shape of their plans to deal with these problems add up to an increased appetite for authority, discipline, and control. The U.S. ideological climate has shifted to the right over the past few years, _ providing the basis for a forced decline in the living standards of the working class. This trend bears close watching and appropriate ~ action by all those who desire a more, rather than less, democratic world.”
Like his peace conference that was unequal. It put no restriction on the military occupiers or their armed high tech settlers. My neighbors who worked for high tech went there from early on to set the settlers up and connect army, settlements and Checkpoints. In West Bank, my Verizon phone Only worked as we traveled near illegal settlements no matter how small or isolated.
And another post from her:
Pretty sure the MacArthur Foundation / Google-Funded project out of NYU GovLab “Research Network on Opening Governance” is the current manifestation of technocratic intent. Now, with Blockchain tied to the UN SDGs..
In February 2018 Kleiman came to UPenn to talk about a new operation system for government. That is technocracy. This is the video I took. If you want a chuckle forward to timestamp 57 minutes when I asked my pointed question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gY6t43vl50
And yet another post from her:
Interesting list of representatives supporting adoption of Agenda 21 back in 1992. Be sure to click over to the co-sponsor tab. I read this passed in the House, but not in the Senate.
George Miller introduced the legislation for Common Core in California along with Bonilla.
I wonder if Bernie Sanders introduced this in Vermont?
I don’t know, but VT is a full-on CBE state and was one of the early pilot states for NCEE’s “Restructuring Education” program (along with San Diego!).
So these are the guys who sold us out! And they introduced and passed the thing in only 20 months. I bet this was one of the UN requirements that it had to be passed in 1992. Just like ESSA, which had to conform to UN requirements by the end of their decade on education, 2005-2015.
Here is a post on the wall of a friend of mine:
Most people would be shocked to know that the modern-day ecology movement has its roots in NAZI Germany as documented in this paper from COLUMBIA University:
Compulsory education is set up to train youth to plug into a brutal globalized economy where telepresence “gig” work will become the norm. What happens when your school district is selected for the “drone operator” pathway program? When people are advocating for expanded CTE programs, they do not realize this is the direction things are headed. This is not work. It’s a dismal video game of surveillance and consumption. First Kiwibot food delivery robots, now this. This is the corporate garbage / propaganda being pushed by Achieve 3000. Wake up before it’s too late.
Does Achieve 3000 suggest these “careers?” I see it’s an ELA program.
It actually levels them to careers and tells them the career they can be based on their score.
That is so messed up. But so not surprising. And teachers are allowing this and not saying anything.
Soon that will be “lifelong learning.” Constant retesting (probably on a psychometric video game) so you can try and “level up” to get a better paying gig. It will become inescapable. Sickening.
it can adjust your level with every article. A teacher put my son on it even though he was opted out and he answered incorrectly to see what it would say and it came back “not college and career ready” with a “cook” as his highest career choice. I was actually surprised it didn’t say busboy or dishwasher. I guess that would be too soul crushing obvious.
Achieve “measures” “progress” through their system of “lexiles”. Students “achieve” “college readiness” when they reach a certain level.
That’s a set up for human capital investing.
Here’s the article in full (set to the highest lexile) SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (Achieve3000, May 17, 2019). Young people often dream of becoming astronauts, pilots, engineers, and of course, globe-trotting pop stars. But the future economy will produce some awesome jobs that we can’t even imagine just yet. For instance, have you ever thought about becoming a drone operator? Well, if you like excitement, helping people, and playing video games, being a drone operator might just be a fit for you! You probably already know a thing or two about drones, those autonomous little flying machines sometimes referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These nifty airborne gadgets were initially designed to perform rare or difficult jobs for the military. But by the 2000s, it was easy to see that drones had plenty of helpful commercial, scientific, agricultural, and peacekeeping applications, too. Today, drones are used all over the world, even out at sea, where they perform tasks like monitoring oil rigs and diving underwater to examine marine equipment or monitor aquatic wildlife. More and more of these speedy gizmos have been appearing in the skies each year. In fact, it’s predicted that by 2022, the number of service drones will more than quadruple to over 450,000. And as the UAV industry continues to grow, the world will need a lot more trained specialists to fly them. To become a drone operator, you might study engineering, aviation, or a similar field in college—but there’s another kind of training that may also come in handy: playing video games! In an effort to prepare for a world in which the skies teem with whizzing delivery drones, a team of graduate students at the University of Utah is designing a special computer game. Aspiring drone operators could one day use it for UAV training. The system simulates what it feels like to control drone fleets. It allows trainees to go on various complex missions, delivering things like medicine to distant places. Once you’re trained to fly them, there will be many important things you can do with your drone skills. In farming communities, for instance, drones have been used to monitor crops and keep farms healthy. They can cruise over fields and herds of livestock to spray crops or scan for signs of soil erosion and disease. But if that doesn’t interest you, maybe you’d rather get involved in the medical field. Drones help there, too! In Ghana, drones deliver medical supplies to isolated regions of Africa where the population is in need. In North Carolina, drones speed up the delivery of critical blood samples from hospitals to labs, allowing doctors to diagnose and treat patients faster. Drones are also being tested to aid in the quick and safe delivery of live organs to people who need immediate, life-saving transplants. In April 2019, Google’s drone delivery service, Wing, became the first to receive federal approval for delivering goods to homes and businesses in the U.S. The app-based service is currently operating in Australia. It will begin dropping packages on U.S. doorsteps in the state of Virginia later this year, a “potentially game-changing moment in the drone-delivery world,” said Jia Xu, an engineer at the Rand Corporation think tank. What else can drones do? So much more! They can study and monitor hurricanes, track endangered species, help in videography and photography, and they are perfect for aiding disaster relief by helping to monitor, prevent, and extinguish wildfires. That’s a lot of stuff for one little flying machine! For now, though, a future full of drones still presents questions that experts don’t know how to answer quite yet—like what about traffic jams in the sky, or how safely can drones function in overcrowded urban areas? Although the industry needs time to develop, there’s little doubt that one day you can expect drones to deliver everything from pizzas to prescription medicines right to your front door. And who knows—it may even be you who’s operating them! The Associated Press contributed to this story.
My district is shifting into panic mode over graduation rates. They haven’t figured out that poor grades and poor attendance are as a result of societal factors, etc. They’ll just keep shoving these “initiatives” down our throats until they can manipulate the data. I remember when I went through teacher certification/training, the mantra was “DON’T TEACH TO THE TEST!!!” That was a crock of shit; almost all we are told to DO is set up to teach to the test. I’m sure you noticed the “PREP for PSAT” in the upper right hand corner; RI is now relying more heavily on PSAT/SAT data in order to determine “academic success”, that virtually (no pun intended) assures that urban districts, like mine, will be lambasted when the results come through.
I wonder how many teachers actually even look at the content of any of the online stuff?
I’m pretty sure all teachers read it; I would never use an article like this one. Originally, we wete supposed to use Achieve twice a week! We put up some resistance and got it down to once a week. There is also a dearth of articles in some areas of history. I try to find readings that apply to what we are studying, but good luck finding any relevant articles about medieval history!
Notice the 1180 Lexile score
[name redacted] Do you know? Is this what you were talking about linking pathways to reading scores?
the “thought” questions are where the creepy DARPA level data collection come in.
Wow. So can parents see this stuff? Do students access these platforms at home or in school only?
what are the “thought” questions? Do students have to answer them?
They are assigned Achieve3000 for hw so if a parent wants to see they can. This is why teachers and parents have come to me to tell me what they saw. The really creepy questions only pop up occasionally so if you are just glancing at your child’s work you may not see it. I don’t have a screen shot but enough parents have told me about the questions that ask the child if their parents fight that I know they are asking very personal questions. Yes, the students must answer the questions to advance with the article. The worst part of the questions is that it comes back to show students “results” of how other A3k users answered and then it asks them if they’d like to change their opinion based on this. Straight up behavioral data collection. For example it might ask, “True or False: After reading this article I think having drones will make our cities safer.” Then it will show a bar graph with the responses and ask the question again.
I have screen shots of military, tech, and work attitude questions.
People wrote this off as crazy talk. It’s not. I think companies will be able to pay for the psyche profile of applicants and the government will have a list of all divergent thinkers.
Some of the questions are even open response.
AIR did employee evaluations before they got into psychometrics for the SBAC. SBAC is McGraw Hill/ETS.
Can your school give you a dummy account, to test drive achieve 3000 at home?
McGraw Hill was John Negroponte.
they give you a parent “trail” but it stopped at the section that asked the students to “tell us about yourself.” I took the parent trial 7 yrs and called the company and asked for the questions the trial wouldn’t show me. They wouldn’t tell me. That’s how I knew their was fuckery going on before I even saw the questions.
So Saki Dodelson was a co-founder of Achieve 3000. Apparently she was the finance manager of AT&T prior to that 1987-1999. From her LinkedIn “From 1987 to 1999, Saki Dodelson was a finance manager with AT&T. During this time, she redesigned and marketed the Israeli2000 project—the Israeli Knesset’s robust Website.”
Also, the 1080-1180 lexile is “meeting standard”; 1280-1380 “exceeds standard”. 780-1080 “approaches standard”. Everything below 780 is “Far below standard”. The average for all my classes is below 780. Here are some questions and answers from the “Stretch Activity”; correct answers are highlighted in blue
Damn. That’s why Boeing and Northrup Grumman want to take over the schools.
how about San Diego? I remember watching video of Clinton kick off Goals 2000 there back in the day and I know he specifically mentioned Boeing being a big influence.
yes! is this like the hive-mind drones you guys have in Philly?
as an aside you and [name redacted] should check out the Linkedin for the head of Walmart giving – out of Seattle. Now on the Blockchain Education steering committee. https://www.linkedin.com/in/gayatriagnew/
Here is a post that was shared in the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
elementary school, and you’ll hear a similar refrain. Children dropping out of their chairs is the new normal. But why? What’s going on that’s making simply sitting in a chair a physical challenge for our youth?
A highly respected director of a progressive preschool who has been teaching preschoolers for about 40 years says she has seen major changes in the social and physical development of children in the past few generations. “Kids are just different,” she said. “They are more easily frustrated – often crying at the drop of a hat.” She has also observed that children were frequently falling out of their seats “at least three times a day,” less attentive, and running into each other and even the walls. “It is so strange. You never saw these issues in the past.”
She went on to complain that even though her school was considered highly progressive, they were still feeling the pressure to limit free #play more than she would like in order to meet the growing demands for academic readiness that was expected before children entered kindergarten.
It is through active free play outdoors where children start to build many of the foundational life skills they need in order to be successful for years to come. It is before the age of 7 years — ages traditionally known as “pre-academic” — when children desperately need to have a multitude of whole-body sensory experiences on a daily basis in order to develop strong bodies and minds. This is best done outside where the senses are fully ignited and young bodies are challenged by the uneven and unpredictable, ever-changing terrain.
Preschool years are not only optimal for children to learn through play, but also a critical developmental period. If children are not given enough natural movement and play experiences, they start their academic careers with a disadvantage. They are more likely to be clumsy, have difficulty paying attention, trouble controlling their emotions, utilise poor problem-solving methods, and demonstrate difficulties with social interactions. We are consistently seeing #sensory, #motor, and #cognitive issues pop up more and more in later childhood, partly because of inadequate opportunities to move and play at an early age.
The #vestibular system, located inside our inner ear, is responsible for our sense of balance and spatial awareness. It also plays an important role in focus and attention, visual skills, and emotional regulation. It is stimulated and developed by moving through space in a variety of directions—particularly at high speeds.
“Inside your inner ear are little hair cells. And we need to move in all different directions so that fluid moves back and forth and stimulates those hair cells, and that develops the vestibular sense. That sense is key to all the other senses. If that’s not working right, it can affect everything,” says Angela Hanscom, pediatric occupational therapist.
Weaker core and postural muscles, an underdeveloped vestibular sense, and too many consecutive hours spent at a desk without a break for physical activity all add up. Once we put these factors together, we can start to understand why a child might fall out of their seat at school.
Research continues to point out that young children learn best through meaningful play experiences. Education has need to transition towards play-based learning rather than away from it, for the sake of our current and upcoming generations.
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
FYI
Yesterday Exeter 7th and 8th graders were treated to a presentation by a transgender athlete. The kids were told that they shouldn’t decide what gender they are until they turn 18 years old.
While the dumbing down continues in the public schools, they are also doing a great job of social engineering. That equates to illiterate political activists who are easily manipulated by socialists running for office.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
So the company TutorChat profits from unpaid “peer to peer” avatar-based online math tutoring by convincing youth ages 13 and older they can count the hours they log towards “community service” and that it will look good on their college applications. The “tutors” can get trained via online courses to earn badges. WTAF
HOW IT WORKS Get permission – Even though you’re 13 or over, we still need permission from your parent. We’ll make it easy and send them a text. Get qualified – Take a simple diagnostic assessment online & in your own time Get Set – Put an avatar together. Share your availability & interests with kids looking for a teen tutor Get trained – Earn badges on skills that Google considers more important than STEM skills by taking some fast-paced, online courses. Take as many as you like Get chosen by a student Tutor on your own personal learning space that connects you to your student via vidteo, chat, shared whiteboard and shared files.
WTH are the skills they are talking about here – is this psycho-metrics? “Get trained – Earn badges on skills that Google considers more important than STEM skills by taking some fast-paced, online courses. Take as many as you like.”
Here’s a post from a friend of mine:
For the past 10 months, I’ve used social media to try to point out the deeply troubling situation of our educational institutions, first at the University of Tulsa, where I was a teacher, and then at Tulsa Public Schools, which serves 40,000 area schoolchildren.
My children attend a parochial school, and some people have asked me why I’ve been so preoccupied with the public schools system. Here’s my brief response to that question:
I attended high-quality public schools from K-12. I am grateful for the knowledge I acquired during that time and to the professional teachers whose expertise in curriculum and pedagogy encouraged in me a love of learning that continues to this day.
I was a poor kid, and public schools were my only option.
After I graduated from high school, I attended the University of Tulsa, where I took classes with world-class scholars and encountered ideas that were entirely new to me. I fell in love with St. Augustine, whose writings directly led to my conversion to the Catholic faith. The value of a robust liberal arts curriculum lies in its ability to direct the intellect and the passions toward the most-real, the eternal, and the transcendent.
Both my academic studies (I went on to earn a PhD in political philosophy) and my Catholic faith confirm to me that the human soul naturally longs for what is real and eternal. They confirm that any effort to suppress or to dull that longing is contrary to human nature and sinful. Reason and revelation oblige each one of us to oppose any effort to deform something as precious as a child’s soul.
I think the doctrine of “workforce development” is just such a deformation, and I think its irrational and sinful nature reveal themselves in the appalling treatment of TPS students, families, teachers, and staff. Christ calls on us to love our neighbors, and I do not believe that love would idly stand by while such a terrible war is waged on the souls of young people.
That is why I support TULSA PUBLIC SCHOOLS, and the efforts of my neighbors to FLIP THE BOARD. If you are able to VOTE in this election (whether or not your children attend TPS), PLEASE VOTE for Kelsey ROYCE or Stephen REMINGTON.
And some replies to this post:
Well said. I teach at a private school and my daughter attends a different private school in Tulsa, but I am a proud product of sand springs public schools. From a purely financial perspective, I would prefer not to spend a significant amount each month on tuition for my daughter. On a much more personal level, I would feel much better about my daughters future and this country’s future if she were receiving a quality public school education, but that simply isn’t an option in Tulsa, at least at her grade level. Good public schools are essential to civic pride and foster a sense of community and shared responsibility. They’re also diverse in ways private schools can never achieve, no matter how well intentioned and comprehensive their diversity plans. It is beyond my comprehension how we even got to this point. When I think hard about some of the changes that have been implemented in public schools around the nation, as well as in TPS, I try to tell myself that these changes are the product of well-meaning educators and public servants who I disagree with, but who share my basic values and goals as a teacher. When I see policies and procedures that are disruptive (and by the way there is no positive connotation to that word when it comes to children), damaging to teacher and student morale and, at best, are confusing to parents, I try to remind myself that mistakes happen and they can be fixed. But this is an inaccurate view of the motivations of the people behind education reform as we currently conceive of it in this country. Many on the TPS board, most of the upper administration at TPS, and the philanthropists who fund many of the most destructive parts of the reform agenda, do not think about children first. They think of profits and bottom lines and they view teachers and students as capital, and the results of their work as product. While it’s fair to say none of them intend to harm children, it’s also not an exaggeration to say that they don’t fully consider the collateral damage done to children when they view education as a business and children as just another input in an equation that spits out profit and worships efficiency. I have news for these reformers: education, when at its highest level, is almost never efficient. It is slow and prodding. It detours and zig zags around, and it is conducted with patience at its core. It doesn’t seek the path of least resistance, preferring instead a thorough examination and a substantive discussion of competing options and paths. I don’t know where we lost our way, but it’s clear enough at this point to say we aren’t lost in the traditional sense. We didn’t wander off the trail into a dark forest by accident bc we were admiring the clouds above or the subtle contours of the land below us. No, it’s obvious now that we were lead into the forest by people who intended to make us feel the fear and confusion of being alone and disoriented. This is not an accident and we need to replace the people who did this to us and our kids.
so well written. I currently teach in TPS and I’m sick about the directions that we are going. I will only stay 2 more years to ensure my granddaughter’s elementary foundation is solid. When she leaves in 5th grade so will I. I’m so tired of fighting and raising my voice for my fellow colleagues and for my students. I do not live in Tulsa ( I’m a rancher’s wife) but I have loved teaching but not anymore. I appreciate all of you that are sounding the alarm and trying to get Tulsans to pay attention. I fear it may be too late.
thank you so much for the kind words, and for doing your part for grandchild’s school. There are so many like you out there, but the tactics of this group of people are designed to isolate and fragment opposition to their agenda. All I can hope is that as more and more parents, grandparents, and community members learn the truth about this monstrosity, that we’ll find the leadership to get our schools back on course.
I agree with everything you say here! Especially what you say about the health of our public sphere. Perhaps it’s not a coincidence that the collapse of our public schools and the breakdown of civil discourse seem to be tracking in lock step. Also, to your point about diversity – yes! 100%! I think families and students ought to have a variety of options, not only to reflect individual preferences, but because genuine diversity (not the sham that education reformers peddle) encourages longer, deeper, and more nuanced reflections on the objects that concern us. Life is so much richer when we don’t try to standardize everyone’s experience.
this is a travesty. I’ve heard from so many people who are facing this situation, and it’s one of the things that keeps me going. When our professional teachers – those who have been in this for the long haul and who are well-respected by their colleagues and students and who are good people, to boot! – are being ground down, we have a huge problem! I’m so sorry I didn’t see this before. We must stand up for our teachers! Grandparents. Such an important role. All grandparents should attend TPS Board meetings.
And another post from her:
TU joined the American Council on Education about 10 years ago. I wonder how long it will be before Interim President Janet Levit and Professor of Education Elizabeth Smith establish the TPS-TU-pipeline-to-the-workforce on blockchain? This is setting up for social credit scoring, which – in the “Fourth Revolution” – will enable corporations to select a particular gig-worker from the multitude of human capital options vying for the limited employment opportunities. The more data entered into the permanent digital ledger, the better! Because it will help corporations select just the right, resilient tool (they actually use that language) for the job.
I don’t think we want that for our children, do we?
And the post that she quoted:
The US Department of Education is backing the nation’s higher education association’s research efforts into and tests of emerging blockchain or distributed ledger technologies (DLT). Union Public Schools is the first school district in the nation to offer this service and Todd Borland, Union’s director of Technology, is on the national steering committee. http://bit.ly/2OHiAgA
Here is a post from a Colorado anti-Common Core group:
OPPOSE this new legislation! Your neighbors sixteen and seventeen year old kids (including those convicted in juvenile detention facilities) will have the power to;
Vote to elect the the District School Board Director candidate of their choice Vote to elect the Colorado Board of Education candidate of their choice Vote to raise the mill levy on your property Vote to raise and expend your property taxes Vote to increase the level of debt for a school district
In addition, this law would allow voter registration drives on school grounds by a drive organizer, such as the teachers union, to register those kids to vote.
Will those organizers also suggest who to vote for? Will the teachers in class suggest who to vote for? Will the kids want to keep those teachers happy in order to get a good grade? When you were sixteen, what changes do you think your classmates would have wanted in the school? Would they have wanted more or less time in classrooms? Would they have wanted a easier or more difficult curriculum? Would they want more money spent on fun classes or math and english?
Your opportunity to be heard by the legislators and express your feelings will be on Thursday February 20th at 1:30 PM, room LSB A. These dates and times are often changed shortly before the scheduled meeting, so watch the website for updates. call all the legislators in the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee.

I scanned that. The Census push…….why is lgbtq hard to count? Listed along with language barriers, homelessness, recalcitrance….why is not being straight a challenge to being counted in a census? So bored with all that.
hmmm, interesting. Yesterday when I posted the link their home webpage was encouraging 16 & 17 year olds to pre register to vote. Now this census stuff today…🤦🏼♀️
they have their tentacles in everything.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
I left several comments on Lt Gov Pinnell’s original post, observing that this new logo closely resembles the color wheel branding associated with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Oklahoma is clearly and rapidly moving in this direction, and branding campaigns like this one are designed to prime us for the change. It’s a very similar strategy to the “Tulsa’s University” campaign that features a negative image of the collegiate “TU” with a bold Tulsa city flag blazing through it. Almost like bull-eye.
After months of watching over 100 creative Oklahomans at work, I’m so excited to officially reveal our new brand. Our state has so much to offer residents, visitors and businesses – and we needed a new way to tell our story. I’m thrilled to finally reveal our new state brand!
Colorado looking to add NWEA MAP, Lexia RAPID, and Riverside as approved interim assessments. How accurate are these interim tests? How are they validated?
NWEA collects SEL data, student engagement based on hidden algorithms. Where is the accountability and transparency?
🛑Ummm A bill to waive FERPA? NO 🛑on Colorado SB20-137. What parent dreams of sending their child to compulsory k-12 education, so their behavior and mental health status can be assessed and #shared with agencies outside of the school?
Parents can ALREADY waive FERPA and can ALREADY give permission for school officials to share info with outside health care providers, if they choose. This is boiling the frog and not the proper role of government. We do NOT need this bill.
Under UNEP’s leadership and through proactive advocacy by the patrons and the partners, the Billion Tree Campaign catalysed tree planting action on all continents. The billionth tree, an African Olive, was planted in Ethiopia in November 2007.[14] The two billionth tree took root as part of the United Nation’s World Food Programme agroforestry initiative. The World Economic Forum during 2020, held in Davos, announced the creation of the One Trillion Tree Initiative platform made for governments, businesses, and civil society to provide support to the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2020-2030), led by UNEP and FAO. Forum participant Donald Trump, president of the United States, made an announcement that the government of the U.S. will be committing to the initiative
Republican lawmakers on Wednesday proposed legislation setting a goal for the United States to plant a trillion trees by 2050 to fight global warming, a plan intended to address climate change by sucking carbon out of the air instead of by cutting emissions.
Schools are a newer front, and the debate that took place in Lockport encapsulates the furor surrounding the technology. Proponents call it a crucial crime-fighting tool, to help prevent mass shootings and stop sexual predators. Robert LiPuma, the Lockport City School District’s director of technology, said he believed that if the technology had been in place at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., the deadly 2018 attack there may never have happened.
“You had an expelled student that would have been put into the system, because they were not supposed to be on school grounds,” Mr. LiPuma said. “They snuck in through an open door. The minute they snuck in, the system would have identified that person.”
But opponents like Mr. Shultz say the concerns about facial recognition — namely privacy, accuracy and racial bias — are even more worrisome when it comes to children.
“Subjecting 5-year-olds to this technology will not make anyone safer, and we can’t allow invasive surveillance to become the norm in our public spaces,” said Stefanie Coyle, deputy director of the Education Policy Center for the New York Civil Liberties Union. “Reminding people of their greatest fears is a disappointing tactic, meant to distract from the fact that this product is discriminatory, unethical and not secure.”
The debate in Lockport has unfolded over nearly two years. The school district initially announced its plans to install a facial recognition security system, called Aegis, in March 2018. The district spent $1.4 million, with money it had been awarded by the state, to install the technology across 300 cameras.
Dallas County Promise is a “scholarship program” set up ostensibly to combat the “skills gap” and aid students in acquiring post-secondary credentials. In reality it is just as much about creating an apparatus to grow human capital impact investment markets. Last year the program partnered with Manoj Kutty’s Greenlight Credentials and Salesforce.
According to Global Education Futures Initiative advisory board member Tom Vander Ark, this digital transcript will allow Dallas students to “tell their whole story.” Of course we know that means tracking in demand “soft skills” that will inform future investors of a person’s perceived worth as “human capital.” According to a project overview by Salesforce, which provides technical support for the program’s “Education Cloud” digital nudge service, students who sign up for the program are immediately put on a “communications journey.” Thus the digital processing and compliance monitoring begins.
Commit! managed by Todd Williams, a former Goldman Sachs executive, is a partner in the Dallas County Promise effort. It is one of the largest and most influential “collective impact” programs in the country.
First Oregon has a bill like this, then Illinois. I think that it’s a trap that any student that takes will get labeled, impacting future job opportunities and their 2nd Amendment rights (and also give government elites and corporatism the data they need to justify all sorts of interventions.)
Broadband, badges, blockchain, digital surveillance and debt. It’s all in the mix. Just finished mapping the steering committee for the American Council on Education Blockchain Education Research Project being funded by DeVos and the US DOE. How long before digital currency e-wallets for gamified online skills training to fly drones?
Once you understand global markets in “human capital” will run on credential attainment, the shift to early college high school starts making more sense. It not only disrupts the traditional education model and paves the way for “lifelong learning” and “learning ecosystems;” it also expands their window of investment opportunity by at least two years, which is significant in terms of profit extraction.
And some replies to this post:
And …I think tax payer money is now going to train for a narrow specific skill set that a particular business needs, saving monopolies tons of $$. One useful tool that will surely work with this is Non competition clauses that workers sign, in order to keep them a-float, after losing their job (or to even GET the job they have to sign) to keep them OUT of the industry and out of the competition? This happened to a friend of mine in radiology… But move it to manufacturing etc. .. the fact the tax payer is paying the cost of all training, makes it more likely they will churn through workers–with that cost gone, they will be less likely to offer full time and life time employment, because much or most all of the employee training cost is out of the equation. And of course flooding the market in supply and demand for workers is now handed to monopolists. PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE will also feed the knowledge economy, with the individual being forced to be retrained forever, as we know. If you think about it, that means society pays for a student to be pathwayed to an industry for how many years? And then, ….it’s just gone by the time they are 26. AND think how Amazon bullied cities across the US to get them to move their industry there, and other big business like Boeing is always threatening leaving the state, if you don’t give us this or that tax cut (and then they move the jobs to Russia or some such place anyway after they get them) ….if whole schools are geared to a specific industry, that business now has the entire community under their control via any threat they whip up….I can just imagine people saying, “what are our schools going to do, now that border patrol is hiring Columbians to maintain our borders?” And small businesses? Wa ha ha. GONE.
Yes! Yes! Yes! HP will NEVER have to pay a premium to “flight risk” employees again. The corporate state will deliver them on demand as the lowest age possible. That is why they have created OER and restructured the non-profit social service / training sector to suit pay for success finance. Because it’s not just the training, it’s the gambling on people’s compliance to the pathways set out for them.
And I found Europass – this is for global platformed labor. It is a CBE online learning locker. Started in 1998 for god’s sake. Why are labor economists not figuring this out?
“Assessments” will be data analytics (cognitive and non-cognitive) about how a person interacts with Open Education Resources (OER). Again, it’s NOT about “free textbooks.”
And yet another post from her:
Online “mastery-based” transcripts that “count all learning” will never level the playing field for low-income students and Black, Brown, and Indigenous students. Children of the elite won’t need a mastery-transcript to get a job. They will simply use their social capital. Instead, what xAPI learning lockers do is compel people without social capital to spend all their waking hours attempting to digitally demonstrate that they are qualified for gig work.
Here is a post from the Minnesota anti-Common Core group:
MACC from time to time goes back to the Common Core. Tonight we offer some historical information regarding the first Senate Resolution to put the United Nations sustainability goals as chief mission in our country. This is 1993-1994 and the resolution was introduced only and the committee on foreign relations did not take it up. There is one author (D) and 4 cosponsors (2-R, 2-D). Common Core is the UN’s Education for All just under a different title.
Each UN sustainability goal is to be embedded in every aspect of our lives. Yes, expect everything to come through the schools, especially areas like the comprehensive sexual education which becomes a how-to manual for our littlest kids (and all kids). It’s just inappropriate and does nothing to help our kids in poverty or our kids who are not in poverty. Honestly, to me, it is nothing more than a huge distraction that may end up with very disastrous consequences for some kids and they are not going to get any kind of education.
Then in the House side in 1993-1994, the Concurrent House Resolution was pushed by a D author and 67 cosponsors
During the 1991-1992 session, an earlier resolution was authored by the same D with 63 cosponsors. The senate did not present a resolution that year. Check out the names, folks! Some of these people are running for president.
Pelosi and Sanders, democrats, of course! So sorry but true.
And during the time of a Republican president, GHWBush.
I am saying this a lot now: the lesser of two evils is still…evil.
UPDATE: I have learnd that the Colorado bill that would wave FERPA rights also waves HIPPA rights.
UPDATE: I heard from friends that “mental health days” bills involving schools have also shown up in Minnesota and Colorado. I was right to guess that this was a national trend.
Here is a post from a friend of mine:
Around the world, governments are succumbing to the allure of biometric identification systems. To some extent, this may be inevitable, given the burden of demands and expectations placed on modern states. But no one should underestimate the risks these technologies pose. Biometric identification systems use individuals’ unique intrinsic physical characteristics – fingerprints or handprints, facial patterns, voices, irises, vein maps, or even brain waves – to verify their identity. Governments have applied the technology to verify passports and visas, identify and track security threats, and, more recently, to ensure that public benefits are correctly distributed. The Biometric Threat
Many Americans do not realize what Washington has been plotting behind our backs. When looking at past news and present news neither told or tells what was really happening . Propaganda not only brain washes citizens but hides the truth from what was or is happening .
Here are parts of page 6 of speech which was given by Reagan June 8, 1982 “While we must be cautious about forcing the pace of change, we must not hesitate to declare our ultimate objectives and to take concrete actions to move toward them. We must be staunch in our conviction that freedom is not the sole prerogative of a lucky few, but the inalienable and universal right of all human beings. So states the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which, among other things, guarantees free elections.“ “We in America now intend to take additional steps, as many of our allies have already done, toward realizing this same goal. The chairmen and other leaders of the national Republican and Democratic Party organizations are initiating a study with the bipartisan American Political Foundation to determine how the United States can best contribute — as a nation — to the global campaign for democracy now gathering force. *They will have the cooperation of congressional leaders of both parties along with representatives of business, labor and other major institutions in our society.” “I look forward to receiving their recommendations and working with *these institutions and the Congress in the common task of strengthening democracy throughout the world*. It is time that we committed ourselves as a nation — in both the public and private sectors — to assisting democratic development.” “At the same time, *we invite the Soviet Union to consider with us how the competition of ideas and values — which it is committed to support — can be conducted on a peaceful and reciprocal basis…* “ ” The task I have set forth will long outlive our own generation. But together, we, too, have come through the worst. Let us now begin a major effort to secure the best — a crusade for freedom that will engage the faith and fortitude of the next generation. For the sake of peace and justice, let us move toward a world in which all people are at last free to determine their own destiny.”
The American Political Foundation that was mentioned by Reagan was a “QUANGO” – quasi-governmental organization created in 1978. It later became NED – National Endowment for Democracy..
yes as all of them [name redacted]- when I state each president sets the pace for the next this is what I mean . It is sad but truthful
If that’s the case, most likely one will soon make themselves dictator for life like Xi in China (or else the office will end up more like a puppet, as something like a North American Union will start making the real decisions while the President, Congress, and the courts will pretend like they still care what we think.)
That has already begun – nothing is what we thought . Deceit is practiced every day .
Yes Reagan had some ties with some very shady people too.
The United Kingdom has become the first Western nation to move ahead with large-scale censorship of the internet, effectively creating regulation that will limit freedom on the last frontier of digital liberty.
Population control through Education? Sounds like bad news. And some of the donors to this thing are supporters of the global CSE. Also, this education and population control stuff, in addition to being tied to the Vatican and the UN, is also tied to the Gates Foundation.
Just from reading this article, I can see that this Global Education Compact, and the population control and “reproductive rights” stuff in it, is tied to the UN’S Sustainable Development Goals, much like the comprehensive sex ed stuff we’re fighting is.
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group: See what happens when we sexualize children?! This is unbelievable. Kids in school created a game called “Molest Me Mondays”. “That student said the inappropriate touching involved in the game often takes place in private areas of the school. Sometimes, it even involves getting followed into the bathroom, where another student will try to do inappropriate things.” “This is just Monday, but there are more games students play throughout the week and they do get graphic.” https://www.kxly.com/molest-me-mondays-the-disturbing-game-shaw-middle-school-parents-were-not-notified-about/?fbclid=IwAR3unbVQ1boLBRod9_J9e6Zo9YWEuDFP0Y2jz85zKvtE2_7qBoqF0XyvCBg

And some replies to this post: I am not one to jump into legal action but this social grooming and ignoring of sexual assault is getting so bad that if anything remotely like this happens to any of my children — I will sue — without a second thought. Sadly, that might be exactly what it takes to stop it.
___________________–
This is not an isolated problem ..I live in Massachusetts and my 13 yr. Old grandaughter was told by their principal at her school to deal with being touched by a boy and if they say anything it could be worse for her!! This is a nation wide epidemic!! Something needs to be done to stop this kind of sex in schools. I read one school was being taught how to put condoms on the male penis..the teacher used a dildo and the student watched as their teacher demonstrate the procedure to fit the condome. There was also a picture showing this action by the teacher.

Are the school officials trying to say that these games are only a construct of the children, and the teachers and staff have nothing to do with these events? The tone of the story seems to suggest that.
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell: Why does it feel like I’m one of only a handful of people fighting Blockchain identity in this country? Can no one be bothered to pay the tiniest bit of attention to the infrastructure of next-gen enslavement? I’m not making this up. I wish I were. If you are talking about Bloomberg and you are not ALSO talking about his plans to Blockchain unhoused people in Austin via “what works” “data-driven” e-government “pay for success” non-“solutions” you are missing the bigger picture. https://mayorschallenge.bloomberg.org/ideas/austin/?fbclid=IwAR16rUZq-f0kH8dDZ23OSu9McPcbuqGwjpvSpZeBMF5LAipWnBjdHlGz7Ug

And some replies to this post: I think the benefits of the system are explained, but few people can spot and extrapolate the negatives far enough to be horrified. The parallel is teenagers who don’t mind being tracked by their phones because they are so focused on the benefits of their apps. It’s also very difficult to follow the narrative because there are so many players moving in so many directions. I think if there were tear sheets that broke down the issues into bullet points and provided links and a timeline, it would be a lot easier to open people’s eyes.
ID2020 also is in Austin and works with the homeless. That’s why I’m wondering if there is some kind of connection. https://medium.com/id2020/welcome-the-city-of-austin-to-the-id2020-alliance-76b0ebe6776 The office created a proof of concept in 2018 as part of the Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Mayors Challenge. Members of the Austin Blockchain Collective, Austin’s Homelessness Advisory Committee and local social service providers proved out several components of a concept called MyPass. Through prototyping and testing, the Austin community proved that such a platform could enable access to services by homeless people in the community. https://www.govtech.com/health/Austin-Gets-Grant-to-Explore-Blockchain-Identity-Platform.html The MyPass project, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Pioneering Ideas in Technology and Health Grant, will create a blockchain-enabled platform that stores, secures, validates, and automatically packages personal documents, facilitating resident access to social and health services especially vital to ending homelessness, such as housing, benefits, and access to medical care. During the one year grant period, the project team will work with clients and service providers to develop and test a minimum viable product for a blockchain-based digital platform (MyPass) that will allow people experiencing homelessness to securely and permanently store, validate, and automatically package and submit information needed to access health and social services. Digital documents will be linked to an account accessible on any device, and a client will always retain complete ownership of personal information, even after no longer being homeless or after receiving care from providers, and will be able to remove any reference to personal data from the blockchain platform at any time. MyPass is intended to empower clients with their own history, enable self-advocacy, and catalyze client-centered care. How We Got to Now Though still in its early stages, the MyPass project has a strong history with community members and partners. The project began through the Bloomberg Mayor’s Challenge Grant, which the Office of the Mayor, City of Austin Office of Innovation, Dell Medical School used to work with community members to research and develop the concept. The culmination of this work was the Mayor’s Blockchain Challenge Hackathon held in July of 2018. Teams of designers and developers worked alongside people with lived experience of homelessness and social service provdiers to explore crucial aspects of the platform such as access, authentication, storage, privacy, automation, and the appropriateness of blockchain. By the end of the hackathon, we proved several concepts that together will form the backbone of the MyPass MVP. Though we did not receive additional funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies to contine the work, we had the validation and partnerships needed to move forward. In June 2019 the City of Austin Innovation Office was awarded a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foudnation to develop the MyPass platform MVP. We are excited to continue working with the Austin community, as well as partners like ID2020, in helping our neighbors sercure their identity and access the servies they need. We held a kickoff workshop to start this phase of the project, and you can see our slides and note from that event here. ID2020 will be collaborating with the City of Austin, along with the Austin Blockchain Collective, Dell Medical School, and the National Innovation Service, on developing MyPass — a blockchain-enabled digital identity platform for people experiencing homelessness. The MyPass project is funded by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
And another post from her: Not sure how many are familiar with the work of the late David F. Noble – specifically his research around online higher ed and his book “Digital Diploma Mills.” Much of his focus was connecting online higher ed to its predecessor, snake-oil correspondence courses managed by a number of prestigious universities, including Columbia, back in the 1920s. Michael Crow, an education advisor to merchant banking firm Ridge Lane, came to ASU by way of Columbia. Under his leadership ASU has been pushing digital higher ed in a big way. Crow is also founding board chair of In-Q-Tel, the venture capital arm of the CIA. Among the documents cited as influencing the Learning Economy’s “blockchain / human capital / gold standard” model of education is a recent ASU white paper titled “The Trusted Learner Network: Building The Foundation.” See screenshot below. It describes the creation of an infrastructure of perpetual re-skilling where digital lockers hold a lifetime of accumulated “credentials/badges” obtained from any number of “education” or training institutions or modules or probably even video games. There is no more learn, work, retire in this world view – there is only leveling up with new “in-demand” skills (with debt attached, or income-sharing agreements). ASU’s partner in this effort is Salesforce, a company that maintains contracts with customs and border control; is working with Ja Ma’s company Alibaba, a leader in social credit scoring and now a member of ALEC; and has developed an app (ImBlaze) to track “social competencies” for Big Picture Learning, a global work-based “progressive” high school franchise. The white paper notes that in addition to documentation of competencies, psychometric profiles and health data are to be included in the learning “wallets.” So, what does this mean for the future of academic labor? For the future of un-restricted knowledge sharing? For the future of society as a whole? https://uto.asu.edu/sites/default/files/general/the-trusted-learner-network-v1-3_0.pdf
The pay for success profit model is managed misery. They want people to be managed in their addiction, but not cured. The more people who end up needing addiction treatment, the larger their supply of impact investment raw material. Those in power would rather not pay to incarcerate people anymore. Now they can use IoT tracking to create digital jails and force people to behaviorally comply the the pathways the social work navigators put them on. Also, the more people who are incapacitated due to drug addiction the harder it is to organize sustained resistance to this agenda.
It will be VERY hard to organize resistance to their agenda once they fully have it entrenched. I see that they are pushing to have practically every supply chain put into blockchain. Supposedly it’s to “reduce waste” but I suspect that they REALLY mean to use it to control everything and limit access to supplies. Also, if they have everything in a blockchain, then any black market stuff made to get around their system will get seized as being black market as they’ll know it wasn’t from their system. And they’re also moving to get around another means of resistance: cash. There’s tons of central banks, including ours, moving to go toward digital currencies (possibly stablecoin). The US market isn’t that great already and the Federal Reserve is pumping money into the system to “put sawdust on the engine” (that’s a reference to Matilda, where Harry Wormwood would put sawdust in the engines and other parts of the old bad cars to make them run smoothly for a few miles to make them look good when they were really bad). And that coronavirus is hurting the supply chain too. They sent all those jobs to China in manufacturing, and now loads of factories are being disrupted by workers being out for the virus. Stocks are taking a tumble. And this will play right into the hands of those that want digital currencies. My worst fear is that the blockchains of currency, healthcare, education, workforce, etc will all be put onto one giant ledger and we’ll have to be tracked on all of that or else they’ll cut off supplies to us. I fear eventually they’re going to inject it into us and make it a form of ID. They’re making national IDs all over the place with Real ID and ID2020. My fear is eventually they will come up with a global ID.
____________
Yes. I do believe that is the end game, which is why global solidarity among all people affected is a priority.

No surprise. Now lets look at who his really “Boss” is and who he has taken an oath to and it was not the English people just as when Justin Trudeau became Prime Minister of Canada he did not take an oath to protect and serve the Canadian people but the Queen and her Heirs. Queen Elizabeth is not much in control Charles is and he has been pushing Agenda 21/2030 aka Green New Deal since 1972- Rio Earth Summit 1992 when it went into full gear under Clinton and they have been pushing it hard ever since. People need to out Charles and the UN and their cohorts for what they are really up to which is this one world Liberal government as Biden called it when he gave a speech in why they need control of Canada so much. They installed Trudeau and Obama made sure to keep him there. Boris was part of the Clinton Global Initiative when he was the Mayor of London and I doubt he is independent of them now. They have control of Scotland and Ireland. New Zealand and Australia and Canada. Commonwealth countries.. They are buried in all levels of governments and even if you want to fight them it is a daunting task.
Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
My son is having to complete a packet for the ACT test. It’s asking what his parents make in a year. There’s no option to decline answering the question. Is this common?
And some replies to this post:
they do not have to answer surveys and yes it is common unfortunately
You don’t have to answer. just skip any personal stuff. Of course they get you when the scholarships require you to fill out the FAFSA. It’s such a racket.
I’ve had my kids skip this and leave it all blank- one teacher tried to give my son a failing grade and I had to calm the counselor and tell them that our personal info is not allowed to go to ACT
He was told he HAD to fill it all out. He just picked random answers, because how many kids actually know what their parents make a year? Lame.
I would call the school and ask about it. It’s actually a violation of state law to ask a student about their parent’s income level without prior written parental consent.
And another post form this group:
I want you to listen to the entire debate that happened today on HB114. I want you to note that, at no point, was the Math Benchmark Assessment in K-3rd grade mentioned. https://le.utah.gov/av/floorArchive.jsp?markerID=109467 Now I know why they added a new required state assessment to a bill with a multi-million dollar teacher training program.

Here is a post from a friend of mine:
I am sure Robert Pastor is clapping in his grave after all this was one agenda he was pushing for years… Remember he is the so called Father of the North American Union who wanted Real ID… The ultimate goal of course would be to have RFID chips with the REAL ID number on the chip embedded in the skin at birth.
Congress adopted the Real ID Act as a security measure following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Some states have opened extra offices to handle demand, extended hours, launched publicity campaigns or posted quizzes to help people assess if they need one or have another form of identification that will be accepted.
REAL ID incorporates technologies that will allow government to track and monitor holders of REAL ID compliant identification cards. In addition to the problems of privacy invasion and increased identity theft risks, federal control over ID standards — which tramples state rights — eases the path to creating a North American ID card and database for citizens of the developing North American Union.
I am not the only one who saw the evil in Real ID… Thank God ..
Here is a post from the Massachusetts anti-radical sex ed group:
WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT
We are not alone here in MA. Read this story out of Scotland. Graphic and pornographic comprehensive sexuality education is being taught not only all over our country, but all over the world. Knowing that we are not alone is not much of a comfort, when we begin to realize just how pervasive the sexualization of children through public education has become.
Parents and every concerned citizen, we MUST respond. We have a chance to make a difference here in MA. Although CSE has not been mandated by law in MA yet like it has been in CA, it is already being taught in many school districts across our state.
Hear me. We MUST speak up. Many proponents of CSE are either closely related to the LGBTQ lobby or activists for the lobby themselves. As a result, people are afraid to speak up for fear of being labeled a hater or for fear of retribution. We MUST stop being afraid. Opposing the sexualization of children is not hate. Most reasonable people agree that adults are free to make their own choices regarding sex and gender. However, adults are NOT free to sexualize children, whether they are a part of the LGBTQ community or not.
Do not be silenced. Do not be afraid. But if you are afraid, it’s okay, still speak up. Because the health and well-being of our children is at stake.
Find out what is happening in your school district and act. Submit a post on MIP to network with other concerned parents in your community. Invite other concerned parents to your house to meet and brainstorm ways you can respond together. Schedule MIP to come and do a parent information meeting for your community. Invite your like-minded friends to join MIP.
We can’t leave this fight to someone else. This is everybody’s fight. We must protect our children. Let’s do it together.
“Now, under the SNP Scottish Government’s new policy, the mood has shifted dramatically to include discussions on genres of pornography (lesbian, interracial, facial); utilising porn in masturbation; paying for a prostitute; oral and anal sex.”
“Last year The Times reported that in Scotland there was a breath-taking 80% increase in four to ten-year-olds being referred with gender identity issues.”
“Mr Lucas asked Mr Swinney if he would endorse materials which promote such horrors as: licking of the anus; anal sex illustrated by dipping a banana into a jar of Nutella; and, porn genres including facial ejaculation. The SNP’s number two accepted that there was “some sensitive material covered” but claimed the contents were age appropriate, stating: “They’re promoting nothing … I repeat my commendation for the materials.” So, there you have it: the SNP Scottish Government has no intention of resiling from its harmful and corrupting national indoctrination of our children.”
This is not ok. Now, this child will have this memory for the rest of her life!!
They “Baker Act”-ed my elderly vetern father when he went to his doctor’s office (who had been arrested and put in jail for FRAUD)…and he got upset about not having access to his medical records.

I 100% agree – I had a deep feeling this was the Order Out Of Chaos agenda ..
The question is who will strike first, China or the U.S.? I think Trump will try to upend China’s foray into the realm of digital currency.
I think so too , – Ripple who has been a huge instigator in this digital currency has held meetings with 50 central banks including China. Ripple’s Chris Larsen is member of a advisory board of International Monetary Fund- Ripple’s Ryan Zagone is a member of the Federal Reserve Fast Track Payment advisory board and he also is a member of a Better Than Cash Alliance advisory board . Better Than Cash Alliance is connected to the UN .. When People’s Bank of China began to mention developing a digital currency this when I noticed Mark Carney Bank of England and the Federal Reserve began to really put a bigger effort into a digital currency . Ripple has also held meetings at the White House .. As I have stated I know over and over Clinton began the push to Reinvent America Through Technology during his administration , Bush pushed electronic health care filing, Obama supported financial technology during his administration which many are not aware of and then tRump takes up where Obama left off .. Keep watch on what is called Stakeholder Capitalism Ivanka tRump and Marc Benioff are working together on this project as well as what is called ” work force policy” … At the CES2020 quoting Ivanka ” “We need to harness technology and data to enable people to have their information in their iPhone,” she said, listing high school degrees, health records and on-the-job skills such as CPR for what she called the “resume of the future.” Before tRump was elected Jared Kushner was a big player in what is Urbanland Institute this too is connected to the United Nations .. I hope I did not bore you with this . I just want to stress to every one each president sets the pace for the next one .
one more thing I want to tell you Stakeholder Capitalism will have United Nations Sustainable Development goals attached to it . Stakeholder Capitalism is connected to Lynn de Rothschild Inclusive Capitalism – The first meeting was held in 2014 United Kingdom Bill Clinton was a guest speaker as well as Prince Charles . Lynn de Rothschild spoke at Marc Benioff;s Dreamforce 2017 …. Are you seeing connections ?

Social determinants says that all parents are bad and will hold children back. This is what they use in Minnesota to try to coerce legislators to put all infants in school.
I found this post in the Utah anti-Common Core group in response to an article about the girl committed to a mental health center for two days and given anti-psychotic medicine without parental consent in Florida:
If Eliason’s mental health bill passes in the Legislature this year, Utah will get the same experience. Already, the good Representative has proven he does not care for parental consent to obtain data. His conscience says he is to “save” children regardless of Constitutional rights, because he believes Government needs to be responsible for your children’s lives. Remember what Melissa Harris-Perry said “We have to get rid of this notion that children belong to their parents.”
Here is a post from Alison Hawver McDowell:
Finally getting around to putting Bloomberg into LittleSis. Wow, there’s a lot of stuff folks are not yet talking about that has serious implications for fin-tech’s “smart” UN SDG police state agenda.
I totally forgot he was behind creation of Microsoft’s Domain Awareness System.
Notable – Bloomberg’s undergraduate degree at Johns Hopkins was in electrical engineering.
Bloomberg got his Harvard MBA then worked for Salomon Brothers from 1966-1981. The company was known for innovation in bond markets. “During the 1980s, Salomon was noted for its innovation in the bond market, selling the first mortgage-backed security, a hitherto obscure species of financial instrument created by Ginnie Mae.”
I had not really thought about Bloomberg, Inc. as a data analytics company. It makes sense that the rise of his company providing online content should coincide with the rise of ed-tech. “Through Bloomberg Law, Bloomberg Government, Bloomberg New Energy Finance and Bloomberg BNA, the company provides data, news and analytics to decision makers in industries beyond finance.”
The first Bloomberg Terminal to compile market data analytics 1982. I suspect that is where his background in electrical engineering came in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomberg_Terminal That was the beginning – combined with Domain Awareness System. F*uck. “Sites and sources of resistance and compliance to this social order are conveyed through all digital activities and devices, connected to the sophisticated surveillance technologies of artificial intelligence as part of the ever expanding “Internet of Things.” More disturbingly, all of these integrated “data mining” activities are increasingly feeding financial speculation and derivative (bet) markets.” “First, the machine is structurally entwined with the interests of the most powerful and violent nation-states, particularly the United States. Second, any meaningful disruptions of the machine will crash the global economy.”
“The fund invests for financial return and chooses its investments independently, without preference for companies who have or want a relationship with Bloomberg. It is focused broadly on the future of work, and is inspired by Bloomberg as a template for startups — founded on a powerful idea, bringing transparency to markets, achieving global scale, with a strong and open culture that embraces technology, led by its founders for decades.” https://www.bloomberg.com/company/beta/
What works cities was a way to advance these cybernetic systems across the nation. He also launched Cornell-Tech on Roosevelt Island with the small data lab and was the World Health Organization liaison for non-communicable diseases (chronic illness). He intends to literally engineer society. All of the brutality on the streets and in the classrooms of Black neighborhoods in NYC were just the warm-up. We have to figure out how to talk to people about the ways social determinants of health are being weaponized. He owns Johns Hopkins Public Health and they are tied to Stewards of Change / National Interoperability Collaborative. Even if he doesn’t win, he’s not turning his back on those plans. Damn it all – an electrical engineer to boot.
And another post from her:
If you weren’t sure when I said the UN SDGs were set to channel global capital into IoT-ICT “non-solutions” that will deploy big-data “smart” surveillance to generate social impact profits for fin-tech predators, see what Michael Bloomberg has been up to over at the UN for the past few years. Um, yeah.
United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action Dates Employed: Mar 2018 – Nov 2019 As the Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Climate Action, Mike Bloomberg supports the action of global cities, states and regions, businesses and investors, and civil society to accelerate progress on climate change.
Special Envoy for Cities and Climate Change to the Secretary-General Dates Employed: Jan 2014 – Mar 2018 As Special Envoy for Cities and Climate Change, Mike Bloomberg assisted the Secretary-General in his consultations with mayors and related key stakeholders to drive cities to take action on climate change.”
And yet another post from her:
The scaling of “what works” cities and digital behaviorism makes a lot more sense once you realize Bloomberg is selling municipal data analytics that will inform hedge fund bets. It is social engineering at a scale most people simply cannot fathom. He has a new venture capital fund investing in the “future of work.”
Michael Bloomberg Founder and CEO Company Name: Bloomberg LP Dates Employed: 2014 – Present
Bloomberg, the global business and financial information and news leader, gives influential decision makers a critical edge by connecting them to a dynamic network of information, people and ideas. The company’s strength – delivering data, news and analytics through innovative technology, quickly and accurately – is at the core of the Bloomberg Terminal. Bloomberg’s enterprise solutions build on the company’s core strength: leveraging technology to allow customers to access, integrate, distribute and manage data and information across organizations more efficiently and effectively.
And some replies to this post:
Waiting to see if he might have a relationship with Lamont and Dalio…hmmm
They are working together on OceanX. Not sure how that relates to expanding oceanic mining operations.
I did not know he is putting his money into preserving the earths oceans. That puts Bloomberg in a whole new light for me. Compared to the alternatives…this is the most important issue on earth. This is the first of his kind that I know of who is not pushing life on this planet to a quick extinction. No matter what else he has done, this redeems him. I will be watching! My only reservation is whether it is too little too late and a token gesture to win folks like myself over. Need to research his lifestyle and other initiatives to see if he is just throwing out a bone for political purposes. On the other hand, what other politician has put his/her money and priority on the environmental crisis that is threatening life itself!
It’s not true sustainability. My guess is that it is about generating data sets. He is not to be trusted. He is a very, very evil man.
28 October 2009 Mikhail Gorbachev arrives in Amsterdam to participate in Club of Rome conference The Club of Rome has opened a two-day conference in Amsterdam today. Among the speakers are honorary members: former Russian president Mikhail Gorbachev, former Dutch prime minister Ruud Lubbers and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
The club, which was set up in 1968 to discuss sustainability, is meeting ahead of the Climate Conference in Denmark in December.
The club’s chairperson Ashok Khosla says the Denmark conference will be useless if climate change is the only issue on the agenda. He says the economic crisis and the loss of biodiversity need to be discussed as well.
At the meeting, Dutch Environment Minister Jacqueline called for an end to the expansion of agricultural land across the globe. She says technology and investment could save wastage. More efficient methods could improve harvests by 40 percent.
Before the meeting, the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency called on Western countries to avert a climate crisis by bringing down their CO2 emissions. The agency suggests this could partly be done by cutting meat consumption. This would save 16 million square kilometres of agricultural land, an area the size of Russia.
Every year, the Club of Rome brings together scientists, politicians and business people to discuss issues like pollution, the exhaustion of natural resources and the growth of the world population. The population is predicted to exceed nine billion by 2050.
In a report in 1972, the club warned that population growth will reach its limit in 2050. It stated that there will only be enough natural resources to go round if humans drastically change their lifestyles. https://www.gorby.ru/en/presscenter/publication/show_26968/

Here is a post from a friend of mine from Minnesota:
Nanny State. $30M in 2021 for the government to tell you exactly how you will raise your child and what medical treatments you and your child will receive.
School Based Health Centers will be coming to your local school district if these bills pass.
Our legislature wants to begin the process of implementing School Based Health Centers (SBHC) in every school district here in WA state.
While some districts here in WA have these facilities already, the bills introduced below lay the foundation and groundwork to expand them into every school district across the state. Districts will partner with local medical groups to have these full-service medical clinics operate within their schools.
Here are the bills below. Please click on the link to read the bill, and go to “Comment on this Bill”. You can leave your 3 legislators a message there.
SB 6563 – Creating statutory authorization for school-based health centers
One win we have so far, is HB 2288. This one has been pulled! HB 2288 – Authorization to lease space for school based health clinics SBHC “We just got HB2288, School Based Health Centers, removed from the exec list in committee. This had the possibility for some unintended consequences- especially after it was amended.”
The legislature’s goal with all of these, is to “improve student well-being”, by providing “mental, medical and dental services for students.” We have seen here in WA and other states that these clinics provide so much more.
This is all on the heels of a new health insurance law that passed last year, and went into effect this year. Here is an update from Regence in regards to what you – the parent – are allowed to (not)know about your child’s health:
“Let’s say you’re a parent who calls Customer Service, and you have a question about your 14-year-old child’s medication for anxiety. Starting Jan. 1, 2020, you will not be able to receive any information unless your child has authorized our customer service professionals to share it. Anxiety is considered a sensitive condition because it falls under mental health care.“
Here’s another article: “A 2019 Washington State Senate bill, 5889, just kicked into place on Jan. 1. If your children are 13 or older, they can withhold medical information about “sensitive conditions” from you, the parent. As a listener showed us, Regence Blue Shield’s website lays it all out, but it’s all insurance companies that have to abide by the new health insurance law now.”
So, beginning at age 13, your child can have access to medical procedures and interventions, have medications prescribed and counseling services, while they’re at school during the day… all without your knowledge or consent. But you – the parent – will get a bill in the mail for services rendered, not knowing what services you’re paying for since it’s confidential….
Many other states have piloted these. Colorado, New York, California, to name a few….
Should our public schools be turned into medical clinics?
Is it right to have parents completely removed from all knowledge of their child’s mental health and physical wellbeing?
How many millions will this cost you, the taxpayer, to implement?
If you don’t think this is the direction Washington should be going in: 1) Comment on the bills above 2) Call the Legislative Hotline @ 1-800-562-6000 3) Call the offices of your 3 elected officials, and let them know what you think about these.

That feeling when out-of-touch suburban moms insist you use a polite tone debating a cyber-hedge-fund-predator advancing blockchain digital enslavement of their children. “If you just said it “nicer” we’d be more likely to listen….” D*amn how do you say any of this nicely? You can’t.
I insist on running in and kicking the doors open. I get a person to state openly that the plan is to blockchain children as global data commodities for hedge fund speculation and multiple parents ask ME to just simmer down and be nice – no comment on what the perpetrator is doing. Thank god for the Wet’suwet’en women out there as a guidepost. I do despair these days a lot.

“Great Start” Expands in Dakota County and affiliates HUGE Government System going into place which controls parents and children prenatally. Anyone getting to their County Commission meetings? We need you!!
SF 3061 brings a “Great Start for ALL Minnesota Children”-like system to the COUNTY LEVEL. Authors: Abeler, Hoffman. Companion: HF 3311. Existing law is being amended.
We reported last year that Dakota County is building a huge database to collect information on every pregnant mother and child, from birth to 8 years old. Centered around developmental milestones, home visits will encourage government services if your child misses a milestone or question your house keeping or parenting skills. What happens if you refuse government suggestions??? We don’t know. We are building a huge government system at the beginning of life.
HAPPENING in OKLAHOMA! Oklahoma now has a Great Start bill, too!! HB 3539 — STATE CONTROL of YOUNGER CHILDREN What is happening behind the public view ——-
In an expansion of “BIG GOVERNMENT” the state control over early childhood continues to grow. Now a bill that would divert tax dollars to ONLY those early childhood facilities that comply with the state curriculum has passed out of committee and will go to the House floor for a vote. How can that happen? What does that mean?
3 Star Early Childhood Centers are the only ones which can receive the funds. 3 Stars mean that the center is complying fully with the states’ curriculum and includes whatever the state adds — such as social emotional learning standards, attitudes, values, beliefs, mental health intervention etc. What is pushed by the State Department of Education under Superintendent Hofmeister is being carried down to children from Birth – Preschool in the 3 Star Centers.
To get 3 Stars – Wonderful, caring and trusted early childhood directors are being forced to comply with the State Department of Human Services and allied State Department of Education rules and regulations that cover all aspects of child care and education. Folks this is dangerous and scary! It is real. You can see the danger of the wild animal with its teeth bared but this invisible danger is coming in behind the view of the public
So when you hear that HB 3539 is a great thing for parents…. for child care….. for education…. think again! The bill passed out of Committee yesterday with 6 voting for it and 2 against. It is another ESA Education Savings Account bill but this time it goes for children from birth and puts the STATE in CONTROL of YOUNG CHILDREN!

Wow this is interesting. I was a director for La petite and KinderCare 2010-2013 back then Stars had nothing to do with curriculum. It was all about health, safety and developmentally appropriate practice.
yes….. so many entities that started out well have been changed/transformed with the political agenda of “reform”. This is one thing that makes it so hard for people to see because they know from their own experience what something is but do not see that it is now being used as a “vehicle” for the “reform”. The transform to the top-down compliance system is getting all of the entities involved in education “locked in” to place. I call this hi-jacking.
They’re closing down private home-daycares and mandating federal curriculum for children.
this bill is definitely going to drive people to the highly controlled centers which will use federal curriculum.
the ELC ended in 2017 and in that last report on the states that participated Okla. is not listed with the others so I don’t think we had it. I think our early childhood was already developed past the point of building the foundation which that aimed at. We have Kaiser Family Foundation here which has put millions into early childhood and is behind the Educare system here.
New Horizons is headquartered in Plymouth, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis. The CEO is giving nice sums of money to our House Republican Campaign fund. The agenda is to put all children from birth into public schools, head start and a corporate chain childcare all under the QRIS system.
yes…. QRIS – Quality Rating and Improvement System….. just another Outcomes Measurement system. We know this is “needed” to code and enter data easily, track and report “improvement or growth”. The investors get paid in the social impact bond profits per growth in measured outcomes. The same thing we see all around in education.
Yep! These programs are nothing more than investments on the backs of kids. Enslave the kids into all these programs, then the investors get their human capital money.
and even before they figured out the social impact bond scheme….. just getting the control of our education system to use it for global job training was a big financial incentive for the global corporations who came to the table to get the legislation and funding done.
this bill would send money to Educare and shut out many other day care centers.
At this point it seems to me that when babies are born we oughta just sign them all over to DHS because they know better than anybody else how to raise your children. Keep in mind many of them don’t have children but believe me they’re the smartest mo- foes around when it comes to telling you how to raise your children. We can turn the kids over at birth, get the visitation schedule and the child support order all before being discharged from the hospital.
You paint a vivid picture of what is happening. Beyond the heads and assistants of these departments (DHS) is an army of 20 and 30 years olds. They typically send a 25 year old to testify at the Capitol here. They read scripts.
they are truly the Gestapo.
you are exactly right. The DHS and the SDE working hand-in-hand and following a plan laid out in writing by Hillary Clinton’s work group including David Rockefeller and Marc Tucker with the National Center for Education and the Economy (Carnegie founded). The plan was read into the Congressional record by Bob Schaffer who was a Representative from Colorado at that time. Their own words are that it is a plan from “Cradle to Grave”.
people dont believe the stories . . .until it happens to them. I know a reporter who is hesitant to do stories because hes in fear they will take his kids. That is not an unfounded fear in my opinion.
so now we will let the SEL Social Emotional Learning with testing and labeling come in which will accelerate direct referrals to DHS which is already out of control!
yes…… and some hoping the Governor will really dig in to what is happening in agencies….. but he seems to have no clue to the issues in most of them.
Here is a post from someone from Oklahoma:

Okla. State Dept. of Ed. -shifts blame to local school districts for giving names and addresses of children to the Turkey Muslim Cleric tied new online Charter School, which mailed letters to children statewide.
Here is what a parent wrote…… others are getting this same response: A “very frustrating part of this has been, when parents have called to inquire about how their child’s information was obtained, they were told: “from the local district where your child currently attends school.” This is of course 100% false.”
And yet another post from her:
OKLAHOMA’S COMMON CORE DECEPTION —
Yesterday I posted my current article “The ACT Test is Common Core” published in the Oklahoma Constitution newspaper.
This 12 min recording helps further explain TESTING K-12. It is my presentation to the Oklahoma State House Committee on Education, following the repeal of Common Core, when the NEW testing system was to be chosen and by law (HB3399) required to replace Common Core tests.
The law (HB3399) repealing Common Core was by-passed by the State Superintendent placing Oklahoma still on the Common Core track. Because this “bait and switch” was accomplished bit by bit……. and promoted with glowing descriptions many have been deceived once again.
Since the 2015-2016 school year, Oklahoma public high school students have been taking ACT tests paid for by the state. After eliminating the end of year academic subject matter tests, the ACT was promoted as the best solution by State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister. Most people thought they would be getting the traditional ACT college entrance level academic exams, which we had known for 60 years, but even before ACT was selected, the developer had already announced they would be changing it to Common Core’s outcomes-based aligned testing. …..full article at link below:
Ok, I think knowing Bloomberg’s financial support of soda tax legislation and the push to quantify nutrition data (DATA) for food purchases and knowing the Davos 4IR program will put a massive number of people onto SNAP benefits which will be put on digital platforms and tracked, micro-managing the poor regarding their purchases using coded nudges and built-in price penalties. We should take this very, very seriously. Bloomberg was a long time advisor to the World Health Organization. He’s a far more dangerous man than people realize.
What is worse, the World Food Programme is partnered with SABER, on education outcomes. I am betting they will tie nutrition into education “impacts.” So really tying food to test scores. I blogged about that a few years ago.
I’m pretty sure this is why they need to shut down any mutual aid feeding programs that exist outside the data collection metrics. It’s all going to have to be run through NGOs that will force people to get digital ID and that will collect the data to “prove” the pay for success deals. That is what Bloomberg and company are all about.
And some replies to this post:
They are tracking all the food supply chains by putting it all on Blockchain, supposedly to eliminate waste, but I think it’s really to track everything and thus give them an excuse to seize food or whatever that would try and go around their system.
Wow. I wondered what was up with that too. Also, i saw that there’s a new app that helps people share food in order not to waste leftovers. Now, that has got to be some creepy food supply tracking mechanism!! Oh, and i saw it in the Tulsa World, so yeah, it has to be.
Yes, his NY especially was a testing ground for monetized surveillance and control, exactly as you are describing it I believe.
Adding zero insight here, only that Bloomberg was mayor my first year teaching in NYC and one of my students (age 9) was well aware that he was up to no good and would say “it’s cause of that damn glooberg!!” whenever we had to do testing or surveys or whatever in our class.
And another post from her:
I’m pretty sure Michael Bloomberg (with Ronald Cohen) wants to Blockchain most of the people in the world and make them part of a global cybernetic social impact system.
The transformation of Tulsa’s educational institutions and the totalitarian obsession with work goes back at least to 2007 when the OU-CORE program, a collaboration between US Dept of HUD, Philanthropic Foundations, Civic Leaders, and Education Personnel (including Gerard Clancy) to establish the P20 pipeline to the workforce, was underway. The first excerpt is from a 2007 TW article about the OU-CORE program. The second excerpt, from 2015, provides a glimpse into the mature data-harvesting structure that is run by venture philanthropy and propped up by university students. Read both articles and consider what is happening at the University of Tulsa and Tulsa Public Schools.
2007: “The efforts of this coalition, which most recently met in October, is taking form as solid initiatives, [Pamela] Pittman said.
“We have met, and we are tired of talking and we want to do the work. We want to bridge the gaps between higher education and our school districts because we have a wealth of resources,” she said. “Those of us who exist within universities can identify and see them. School districts need help in training their teachers and long term strategic plans. They need help in after-school programs and bringing together higher ed as far as what opportunities 7th and 8th graders have to start thinking about what they want to do when they grow up.”
“This is all being talked about through the leadership that can make those decisions,” she said.
“The ultimate goal on many levels is the best education for our students, because their real world experiences, through community and service learning, really helps get them prepared for the work force,” Pittman said.
2015: “[Kirk] Wester said the first phase of the system will cost $120,000 and is being paid for by the George Kaiser Family Foundation. Costs after the first phase will be incremental, he said.
Local technology company Asemio is developing the data system, which managing partner Aaron Bean said is about 20 percent complete. A beta version is expected to be ready in the spring, and a full version will be ready by next school year, Bean said.
Asemio is a business intelligence and technology consulting firm focused on community change initiatives.
Wester and Bean say the plan is for the database to include three components: school information data, such as attendance, scores and demographics; data on interventions from partners like City Year and Reading Partners; and data on community efforts in the area.
But Stacey Vinson, the TPS instructional leadership director over the Growing Together schools, said that right now, the data system will begin only by tracking after-school activities including the interventions offered after school hours and efforts by community partners such as the University of Tulsa and the YMCA.
Vinson said the database will help Growing Together track students’ involvement and the “dosage” of involvement in these after-school activities. Growing Together can then share that data with TPS to help the district look at students holistically, she said, and TPS can compare that data to attendance, behavior and academic data.
“We’re really optimistic that this is going to be a model for other areas and other departments,” Vinson said.”
Here is a post from the Utah anti-Common Core group:
Should this be concerning?
And here is the post that was quoted:
“That’s a potential liability for everyone, so it’s definitely better to have well-enumerated policies when we’re dealing with transgender issues,” said Holly Bell, equity and advocacy specialist for the Utah State Board of Education.
It should concern everyone that the state board has a “equity” anything. Shows how marxist have completely taken over education. Even in conservative states.
This is scary from the first line in which it redefines “assigned gender” as “assigned sex” and removes the term “biological sex” because it is offensive
The UN holds a meeting in Salt Lake city and suddenly Utah becomes a globalist, progressive place.
Here is a post form an Ohio anti-Common Core group:
This is directly from the Ohio Department of Education website and is about Social Emotional Learning. What they are doing is the responsibility of the parent and they are teaching your children to be connected to the school and community. They are taking away parental rights and responsibilities. Do you really want the school teaching their values and morals to your children?

The Riksbank, Sweden’s central bank, is now testing its digital version of cash, the e-krona fiat stablecoin
Yup, Bloomberg and Harvard have been grooming over 100 mayors for impact investing. You were wondering how he got all those mayors to say nice things about him???
Among them: Lori Lightfoot Mary Salas Eric Johnson LaToya Cantrell George Bynum Rick Kriseman Tim Keller Vi Lyles Luke Bronin Chowke Lumumba Samuel Liccardo Jenny Durkan and Victoria Woodards Ethan Berkowitz
Map I just made of Bloomberg Philanthropies Government Innovation projects. He and Ronald Cohen (create of the first SIB) both are Harvard MBAs.
Well, Bloomberg’s got his hands in at least 5 of the 17 UN SDGs. When we talk about “sustainability” be sure you’re not advancing the kind that will commodify nature and the global poor for this jerk and his financier friends. https://littlesis.org/maps/4801-un-sdgs-michael-bloomberg

I found another SDG or part of one he’s tied to: Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety: Building on the success of phase 1 of the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety, the year 2015 marks the beginning of the second five-year phase of the Bloomberg Philanthropies’ programme aiming to reduce fatalities and injuries from road traffic crashes. For the second phase, with a new commitment of US$125 million over five years, Bloomberg Philanthropies invited 20 low- and middle-income cities and countries to submit proposals to compete for funding and support. The new programme will work with countries at the national level to strengthen road safety legislation, and with cities at the city level to implement proven road safety interventions. Ten cities and five countries have been selected as official participants in the programme. DECADE OF ACTION FOR ROAD SAFETY In April 2004, the United Nations General Assembly invited the World Health Organization (WHO), working in close cooperation with the United Nations regional commissions, to act as coordinator on road safety issues across the United Nations system. WHO subsequently set up the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC) which holds biannual meetings to discuss global road safety issues. We as Global Road Safety Partnership contribute to the UNRSC in several areas: We have been one of four organizations that collaborated to produce the Global Good Practice Manuals on Helmets, Seat Belts and Child Restraints, Drinking and Driving, Speed Management, and Data Management. We chair the “Good Practice” committee of the UNRSC. Together with many partners, we have helped create the Global Road Safety Commitment, a simple, one page document aimed at helping organizations start on a journey towards zero road crash death and injury. We have contributed to the development of the Global Plan for the Decade of Action, a guiding document that is helping to create a consistent approach to managing road safety. In our role as the Reference Centre for Road Safety for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, we help bring the voice of the world’s largest humanitarian organization to address road safety issues, particularly by developing the formal auxiliary role to public agencies that the Red Cross Red Crescent societies have in their countries. One of the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) targets (3.6) is to halve the global number of deaths and injuries from road traffic crashes by 2020. Our road safety programmes, seminars, and advocacy initiatives contribute directly to this goal.
