How the public education system is rigged to turn individuals into automatons

FROM THE EDITOR:

DEAR READERS: In the course of a research I found this excellent article that deals with a hidden truth behind the current educational system. Written in 2004, the content of this piece may enlighten many who still believe our current schools curriculum is far away from what, we as people, need to learn and acquire knowledge, and to make us independent and develop our highest potential to make a better world. You be the judge. This is PART 2 OF A SERIES

Advice for anyone still in school

Students are not at fault

But that’s not the worst part. The worst part is that public schools not only have a crappy curriculum, they actually oppress their students by forcing them to participate in it. It is one thing to offer a profundity of shallow assignments, and quite another to make students do them.
Simply put, students are forcefully occupied with junk to prevent them from learning something useful.
Almost everything important I have learned, I learned on my own time outside school. During junior high, the assignments given to me were few, and I often completed them in class. This left me with enough time to go to the library to begin my study of metaphysics and the paranormal, to learn truth on my own and experiment with what I had learned to confirm the nature of absolute truth.
But as I progressed through high school, increasingly useless assignments were given to me which taught me nothing (and believe me, I searched for something useful in them), but occupied my time nonetheless. What was being taught to me was compartmentalized, full of holes and errors, shallow, and politically correct to the point of nonsense. Was it my duty to integrate the parts and learn the material well enough to be applied? Sure, but the sheer quantity of homework prevented me from finding time to do just that. Quantity over quality once again.
Now I am in a state college, and it’s no different. The oppression continues, except now I’m getting wiser and have caught onto their tricky scheme to graduate robots instead of humans.
I wish I had more time to do research related to this site, to learn true physics and history, to continue writing music, and make a difference. But this time is erroded by the wasteful components of the school curriculum.
Students, except for a few genuine slackers, are not at fault when lagging in critical thinking skills. They are not being held back by their own laziness, but by direct oppression from a system with the power to punish them or put a bad mark on their transcripts if they don’t give up their individual pursuits of knowledge in favor of hollow schoolwork.
Overloading creates dysfunction
There are multiple consequences to this program of quantity over quality. Children are under a lot of stress nowadays in schools due to this, and as a consequence they shift into a survival mode.
This survival mode consists of taking shortcuts and getting by with the least amount of effort possible, but even this small amount of effort is too much and applied toward futile ends. Grades become an ends to a means, and the true goal of education is detached from daily work. Studying is only applied toward taking the test, but not for retention thereafter. Escapism takes hold and watching television, taking drugs, engaging in delinquent behavior, and over-socialization result. This further detracts a student from learning what’s truly needed.
Under such stress, the student body splits into two groups: those who conform and those who fail.
The ones who conform learn the rules of the game, no matter how illogical they are and play the game to the satisfaction of faculty. They become detached from reality, from what truly matters, and are stifled in their potential as they are stripped of their inspiration, creativity, and originality. Quantity over quality matters as part of the survival mode, and there is no profit in overdoing quality when the profits of doing so are decades away in the reaping. Due to this survival mentality, thinking that far into the future is neglected. The ones who conform become roboticized and are respected for how well they fit the mold. What was once innate curiosity to discover the world is turned into neurotic attempts to escape punishment.
The ones who do not conform fall behind unless they are clever enough to find another source of education that befits them. Their grades are mediocre as they are disillusioned with the system and no longer care about pleasing it. Chances of graduation and pursuing higher education is slim, and most of these either drop out or graduate and immediately acquire low paying jobs. The price of refusal to conform is rejection into substandard wage earning.
Either way, those entering public education leave either as robots or peasants, hyperbolically speaking. TO CONTINUE NEXT WEEK.

Natural remedies for acne: Vitamin B6, tea tree oil and zinc

acne treatment 2

by Talya Dagan

Acne is a skin condition can be caused by a variety of nutritional deficiencies, as well as food allergies food intolerances and fungal infections. Natural remedies for acne include vitamin B6, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin C and herbs like tea tree oil. Acne occurs when the skin becomes inflamed. Oil glands secrete sebum that is a normal component of skin lubrication, however when the glands produce too much oil, the pores become blocked and blackheads and pimples occur. The pores then become filled with bacteria, which causes inflammation and redness. Acne occurs commonly during the teen years because of the increase of hormones during this time.
However, this type of acne usually resolves itself by the time people are 30 years old. Acne usually occurs on foreheads, cheeks, chins, noses, and sometimes on backs or torsos. Acne can cause whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and inflamed lesions on the skin, which can leave scars. Cysts can also occur, which are inflamed lesions that form under the skin.
Causes of the excess sebum vary and can include any form of inflammation or blood sugar irregularity. Hormonal imbalances can also cause acne, because it causes increased sebum production.
Blood sugar imbalances, or insulin resistance, create an inflammatory cycle that leads to acne as well. Some pharmaceutical drugs also can lead to acne, especially oral contraceptives, steroids, Phenobarbital, excess iodine, and lithium. Those with a family history of acne are more at risk for the condition. Food allergies and fungal infections, such as Candida, also can cause acne.
Fat consumed in the diet goes into the bloodstream and reduces the body’s ability to regulate insulin. Air pollution or exposure to second-hand smoke can cause acne, as can food allergies. White sugar and other chemical additives in foods find their way to the skin and cause acne as well.
Hygiene to treat acne
Washing the face twice a day is recommended for those with acne. Mild cleansers are advised, as strong soap or scrubbing the skin can make the condition worse. Use of water-based skin care may help alleviate the clogging of pores. Clothing, such as headbands or collared shirts, can encourage acne to develop.
Vitamins to treat acne
Studies have shown that adding zinc to the diet may reduce the appearance of acne. The dosage used was 30 mg twice a day for one month. Niacinamide as a 4 pecent gel may also be useful. Vitamin C is also important for skin health. L-carnitine has been found helpful but can interfere with some pharmaceutical medications, such as Coumadin. Vitamin A, another helpful nutrient for skincare, can cause toxic reactions from overdosing, so a doctor’s recommendation is advised.
Herbal remedies for acne
Herbal remedies may help reduce the appearance of acne as well. The herb Guggul from the Commiphora wightii, plant, taken internally, has shown some effectiveness, as has the use of tea tree oil externally. Tea tree, or melaleuca alternifolia in a 5 percent gel can be applied to the skin to reduce inflammation. Studies reported that the effects of the gel were similar to using benzoyl peroxide lotion.

Thousands of farmworkers in California can’t make a living

HOLLISTER, CA - 21FEBRUARY09 - The home of the family of Alberto Martinez and Rufina Perez, Triqui migrant farm workers, in a plywood shack in the fields outside Hollister. Triquis are one of the many indigenous groups of southern Mexico, and many people have migrated from their hometowns to California to work in the fields as farm workers. Pictured: Rufina Perez and her baby Silvana Martinez. Copyright David Bacon

por David Bacon
New America Media

Editor’s note: California farmworkers once made a decent living but according to NAM contributing writer, David Bacon, those days are long gone. Now the majority is struggling to survive. More than a third of the farmworkers population makes less than the minimum wage, while the other third earns the exact minimum. Many suffer from various health issues as the result of years of backbreaking work.

Undocumented farm laborers find movement back and forth across the militarized border far more dangerous and expensive than before, and many are stuck even when picking season has ended. In a three parts series, Bacon gives his analysis of the situation and provides two moving portraits of struggling Triqui farmworkers. Bacon’s analysis is below.

At the end of the 1970s California farm workers were the highest-paid in the U.S., with the possible exception of Hawaii’s long-unionized sugar and pineapple workers.  Today their economic situation is not much different from that of their coworkers elsewhere around the country.  California’s agricultural laborers are trapped in jobs that pay the minimum wage and often less, and are mostly unable to find permanent year-around work.
The decline in income is apparent in three ways.  The minimum wage is the current wage standard for most farm workers.  They receive a tiny percentage of the retail price of the crops they produce.  And their living conditions reflect incomes that are at the bottom of the U.S. wage scale.
In 1979 the United Farm Workers negotiated a contract with Sun World, a large citrus and grape grower.  The contract’s bottom wage rate was $5.25 per hour.  At the time, the minimum wage was $2.90.  If the same ratio existed today, with a state minimum of $9.00, farm workers would be earning the equivalent of $16.30 per hour.  At the end of the 70s workers under union contracts in lettuce and wine grapes were earning even more.
Today farm workers don’t make anywhere near $16.00 an hour
In 2008 demographer Rick Mines conducted a survey of 120,000 migrant farm workers in California from indigenous communities in Mexico – Mixtecos, Triquis, Purepechas and others.  “One third of the workers earned above the minimum wage, one third reported earning exactly the minimum and one third reported earning below the minimum,” he found.
In other words, growers potentially were paying an illegal wage to tens of thousands of farm workers.  Indigenous workers are the most recent immigrants in the state’s farm labor workforce, and the poorest, but the situation isn’t drastically different for others.  The case log of California Rural Legal Assistance is an extensive history of battles to help workers reclaim illegal, and even unpaid, wages.
To raise wages, workers need to increase the share of the money paid at the supermarket checkout stand that goes into their paychecks.  In recent years the price paid to workers for picking a flat of strawberries, for instance, has hovered around $1.50.  Each flat contains eight plastic clamshell boxes, so a worker is paid about 20ó to fill each one.  That same box sells in a supermarket for about $3.00 — the people picking the fruit get about 6 percent of the price.
According to UC Davis professor Philip Martin, about 28% of what consumers pay goes to the grower. Produce sales from Monterey County alone, one of two counties where strawberries are concentrated, total $4.4 billion.
If the price of a clamshell box increased by 5ó (a suggestion made by the UFW during the Watsonville strawberry organizing drive of the late 1990s), the wages of the workers would increase by 25%.  Most consumers wouldn’t even notice, since the retail price normally fluctuates far more than that. Florida’s Coalition of Immokalee Workers has used this idea to negotiate an increase in the price paid for tomatoes bought by fast food chains, which then goes to the worker in the field.
Low wages in the fields, however, have brutal consequences.  When the grape harvest starts in the eastern Coachella Valley, the parking lots of small markets in farm worker towns like Mecca are filled with workers sleeping in their cars.  For Rafael Lopez, a farm worker from San Luis, Arizona, living in his van with his grandson, “the owners should provide a place to live since they depend on us to pick their crops.  They should provide living quarters, at least something more comfortable than this.”
In northern San Diego County, many strawberry pickers sleep out of doors on hillsides and in ravines.  Each year the county sheriff clears out some of their encampments, but by next season workers have found others.  Romulo Muûoz Vasquez, living on a San Diego hillside, explains: “There isn╒t enough money to pay rent, food, transportation and still have money left to send to Mexico.  I figured any spot under a tree would do.”
Compounding the problem of low wages is the lack of work during the winter months.  Workers have to save what they can while they have a job, to tide them over.  In the strawberry towns of the Salinas Valley, the normal 10% unemployment rate doubles after the harvest ends in November. While some can collect unemployment, the estimated 53 percent who have no legal immigration status are barred from receiving benefits.
“The fruit that brings growers the most money here is the strawberry crop,” says Oxnard picker Lucrecia Camacho, “but they pay us a wage that barely allows us to live.”

Study finds that every police department in US failed to meet use of lethal force standards

‘Shocking lack of fundamental respect for the sanctity of human life’

by Steve Watson

A study undertaken by Amnesty International USA has found that every state in the US is failing to comply with the minimum international standards on the lethal use of force by police.
The report also found that 13 US states, more than a quarter, fall beneath the legal standards outlined in US constitutional law, while 9 of those 13, shockingly, have NO laws whatsoever that encompass lethal use of force.
This means that in nine states, police can kill someone and avoid the consequences by claiming they had no choice but to use lethal force.
“While law enforcement in the United States is given the authority to use lethal force, there is no equal obligation to respect and preserve human life. It’s shocking that while we give law enforcement this extraordinary power, so many states either have no regulation on their books or nothing that complies with international standards,” Amnesty USA executive director Steven Hawkins told the London Guardian.
Hawkins described the findings as evidence that law enforcement departments have a “shocking lack of fundamental respect for the sanctity of human life.”
The study compared the statutes regarding use of lethal force of all 50 states against international principles which outline that lethal force is only ever used “in order to protect life” in “unavoidable” circumstance and after attempts to employ “less extreme means” to manage the situation.
International standards also outline that law enforcement officers should always identify themselves and give a clear warning if they intend to use deadly force.
The study found that not one single US state complies with both these standards, and only eight states have a requirement of a verbal warning before engaging in the use of deadly force.
“None of the laws establish the requirement that lethal force may only be used as a last resort with non-violent means and less harmful means to be tried first. The vast majority of laws do not require officers to give a warning of their intent to use firearms.” the study concluded.
Amnesty noted that the 13 states that fall below US constitutional standards have statutes which are so vague in their wording, that they can easily be manipulated to allow for use of force in practically any circumstance.
The report notes that in North Dakota, police are sanctioned to use deadly force if an individual “has committed or attempted to commit a felony involving violence.” The level and scope of said violence and felony are not outlined in any way.
The nine states that do not have any laws regarding lethal use of force are Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming – in addition to Washington D.C.
The report notes that this means police in those state nearly always investigate the actions of their own officers based on some arbitrary standard they have comprised for the specific circumstance.
Perhaps the most troubling finding in the report outlines how in nine states, police are legally permitted to use lethal force during “rioting”. The study found that in Pennsylvania, lethal force can be used if it is deemed “necessary to suppress a riot or mutiny after the rioters or mutineers have been ordered to disperse.”
International standards on lethal force also require all police related deaths to be reported. The central database for this activity to be logged, an FBI database, is completely voluntary, however. This means it is not really known how many “justifiable homicides” there are in the US, and the figure could be exponentially more than official records show.
Amnesty recommends a nationwide review of police use of lethal force laws, in addition to a thorough review and reform of oversight and accountability mechanisms at all levels of government.
Given the recent spotlight on police brutality in the US, Amnesty believes that “this report will produce some energy for change.”
Of course, US states are not beholden to comply with international laws. However, the findings, correlated with the huge number of police related killings in the US compared to other developed nations, paints a clear picture.
“Those states can of course argue that they follow common law or supreme court standards, but is that good enough?” Hawkins said. “Certainly we would expect that international human rights standards are what should govern and our fear is that, unless these are clearly quantified, a citizen in any state can’t look at what the law is. That’s critically important to ensuring accountability.”
A separate study recently compiled by Fatal Encounters, an impartial nonprofit organisation working to build a national database of police killings in the US, found that cops in the US are responsible for way more deaths on American soil than terrorism since the year 2000. Indeed, in that time, police have killed at least 5,600 people via gunshots, taserings, beatings and other forms of violence. That figure represents more than the total number of US combat deaths in all wars since 2000.
Americans are, at the very least, eight times more likely to be killed by a police officer than a terrorist.
Vox took the data gathered by Fatal Encounters and created an interactive map of every documented police killing over the past 15 years. It looks like this:
The organisation estimates that it has only captured about 35 percent of total police killings since 2000 so far. So at best, this map represents a minimum of police related killings over the past 15 years.
By those calculations, around SIXTEEN THOUSAND Americans are likely to have been killed by police in that time. Over 1,000, every year.
In comparison with other first world nations; only three people were killed by police in 2014 in the UK; 12 people in Canada, and eight over the past two years in Germany. All this despite the fact that the crime index highlights that countries like the UK aren’t that far behind America in regards to overall crime rate.
The level of police killings only appears to be escalating into an epidemic. It is indicative of an endemic societal divide between Americans and their government (yes police work for the government).

Thousands march against Canal project in Nicaragua

by the El Reportero’s wire services

Thousands of people took to the streets of Juigalpa, a city in central Nicaragua, for a march against the inter-oceanic canal being built by China’s HKND Group.
People from across Nicaragua, the majority of them peasants, traveled to Juigalpa for Saturday’s march.
The protesters demanded that President Daniel Ortega’s administration cancel the project because it will push farmers off their land and harm the environment.
The peasants are unhappy about a provision of the canal law that effectively compels residents along the route to sell their land to Hong Kong-based lead contractor HKND Group at whatever price the company offers.
The marchers carried signs that said “Ortega Sellout” and “Out with the Chinese,” and they chanted slogans against the project.
Some 15,000 people took part in the march, surpassing the 10,000 that organizers expected, Sandinista Renewal Movement, or MRS, alternate Congresswoman Silvia Gutierrez told Efe.
There were some scuffles between protesters and government supporters, but only one person was reported injured and police did not intervene to stop minor acts of vandalism.
The $50 billion project officially got under way last December despite widespread opposition spurred by the government’s failure to even conduct studies of the canal’s potential impact on the environment and affected communities.
The waterway is to wind 278 kilometers (173 miles) from the Pacific coastal town of Brito to the mouth of the Punta Gorda River on Nicaragua’s Atlantic shore.
A significant portion of the canal route – 105 kilometers – runs through Lake Nicaragua.
The project is to include two deepwater ports, an airport, an artificial lake, two sets of locks, a tourist complex, a free-trade zone, roads, and cement and steel factories, HKND Group says.

More than 200 000 women are exploited in Central America’s “maquilas”
About 263 thousand women aged between 18 and 35 years old are victims of exploitation in the free zones in Central America, working in the production of clothes for exporting, a report by Oxfam International shows today.
The represent the 58 percent of the labor force in the region and are prone to catch diseases by repetitive movements and poor working conditions, causing problems to their spines, vision and even chronic sinusitis due to the inhaling fuzz from the clothes.
The report details other violations to women’s human rights in the “special economic zones”, specifically in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
The his sense, the document denounces the 24 hours of non-stop labor, the miserable wages and the lack of hygiene in many of these factories called “maquilas” in Latin America and the Caribbean.
It also stresses women’s vulnerability since their continuance in their jobs depend n the international context and the demand for textile products. These factories usually close down and lay off women without paying the corresponding social benefits, it adds.
Most of these women are single mothers, lack studies beyond the primary level and come from rural areas.

Gente de Zona and Marc Anthony will perform in video clip for Latin America

by the El Reportero’s news services

Cuban filmmaker Alejandro Perez is willing to spread the joy of being Latin American with the presentation on social networks of his most recent video clip with Gente de Zona and Puerto Rican singer Marc Anthony, filmed in the Dominican Republic.
Just a few hours from the official launching on Vevo, the music video platform of Youtube, Pérez corrects colors, images and sound in new projects because he is deluged with offers of works, and contrary to what people may believe, he has a lot of work with Cuban artists.
In his famous and prize winner video clip Bailando, popularized by Descemer Bueno, Gente de Zona and Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias, he used many dancers from the Ballet Lizt Alfonso and students from the National School of Dance.
For La Gozadera (The fun), title of the new song by Gente de Zona, Pérez called the skilled modern dance group Ballet Revolution with choreography by Roclan González (same as in “Bailando”).
The title of the video suggests part of the nature of the song, nevertheless, Pérez did not took it lightly and based on the lyrics he highlighted in the video the links amid Latin American countries.

Several cinema companies will restore Federico Fellini Film
Important Italian and world cinema companies join forces to restore the legendary Federico Fellini’’s film Amarcord (1973), announced today the Cineteca di Bologna.
This institution will join the Italian Internet sales portal Yoox in the restoration process, as well as other well-known companies, such as American Warner Bros. and Cristaldi Film, which took part in the original production of the film.
The Cineteca di Bologna also announced that the international premiere of the new and improved version of the film will take place during the 72 Venice International Film Festival edition, next September.
Despite it is not considered a Fellini ‘classic’, as well as La dolce vita (1960) and (1963), Amarcord won the Oscar Best Foreign Language Film in 1975.

Favorite film for the Oscars will premiere this weekend
The film Me and Earl and The Dying Girl, which premieres on Friday, is already one of the favorites for the still distant 87 edition of the Academy Awards, according to many specialist on the subject.
His director, Mexican-American Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, prefers to maintain a conservative position about the Oscars, however, the film has already obtained perfect ratings on IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.
I don’t want to believe it, and what if it doesn’t work? What if nobody goes to watch my film? There are many months left to the Oscars and many good films yet to premiere”, modestly said to the media the 42-year-old filmmaker Gómez-Rejon.
“This is why I prefer to focus on the present”, expressed the director. “I am scared to death before the premiere, I feel total panic. As a filmmaker, you always intend to transform the original text into something related to your personal life and I really liked de script because of it’s dialogues and because it is about an important topic”, concluded Gómez-Rejon.
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl script was written by Jesse Andrews and based on Andrews’s novel. The plot centers on a young student’s life, who loves filmmaking and avoids close relationships. However, he gets to experience new feelings when he meets a girl, who has leukemia.
The Academy Awards ceremony will take place on Feb. 28 next year. Although it may seem a little premature, the experts predictions about winning films have rarely failed in previous years.

Globalism and the push for mandatory universal vaccination

by Jon Rappoport
NoMoreFakeNews.com

“Once you really understand the truth behind the lies in a given arena, then you can finally back up far enough and see the actual reasons for the lies. You can see the secret program the lies are protecting. You can see why the program is being pushed. You can see what most people would rather not see.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)
In many previous articles, I have established a number of facts about vaccines.
They are not safe. They are not effective. They were not responsible for the major decline in so-called contagious diseases.
In most if not all cases, the diseases they are supposed to prevent affect only a tiny fraction of the people claimed to be at risk.
In some instances, (e.g., seasonal flu, Swine Flu, SARS), the “outbreaks” have virtually nothing to do with the viruses touted as the cause of illness. Therefore, even if vaccines were safe and effective, they would have no relevant effect, because they are targeting viruses which are not causing illness.
The rabid claim that unvaccinated children pose a threat to vaccinated children is, on its face, a lunatic self-contradiction, since those who are vaccinated are supposed to be protected.
Having established these points, it’s possible to assess the real reasons for the push to vaccinate every human on the face of the Earth.
Among these reasons, you will recognize the controlling hand of elite Globalists, for whom planetary empire is the goal.
One: The most underrated reason for mandated vaccination is: compliance. Secure compliance from citizens. Put them into a medical channel from birth (even before birth). Induce them to obey orders. Produce a deep blind loyalty: march straight ahead, eyes closed, mouths shut, from cradle to grave.
Two: Because vaccines and medical drugs are grossly toxic, the obedience becomes debilitation, illness, confusion. Death. Populations are unable to think about, much less resist, multiple vectors of tyranny.
Three: In the “developing world,” where mega-corporations, in line with the Globalist blueprint, plunder cheap labor, mineral resources, and land, use vaccination as a “solution,” when in fact it is a solution that does not work, causes greater destruction—and functions as a cover story to obscure what is really maiming and killing populations: enforced poverty, provoked war, chronically contaminated water supplies, lack of basic sanitation, stolen land, severe generation to generation malnutrition and starvation, overcrowding, industrial pollution.
These horrendous conditions go unsolved (on purpose), in order to keep populations unable to resist mega-corporate takeovers, while vaccination is touted as a wonderfully humane gift to the people.
Four: The claim of preventing disease before it occurs is one of the strongest propaganda efforts of the global medical cartel. It is used to pump up and justify all other medical druggings and procedures and diagnoses. It is “a banner of pride” flying on the medical flagship.
Five: Vaccination, through its toxic effects, is an attack on what would otherwise be a much healthier early childhood in many countries around the world. In short, if wellness and health staged a strong universal comeback, it would expose the lie that “everyone needs doctors all the time.” That egregious and repulsive lie is one of the cornerstones of modern medicine.
Six: Based on the first five reasons, how confident and trusting would you be, when this medical establishment has gained direct access (by needle) to every individual bloodstream in the world? How confident are you that no one would dare enter secret substances in vaccines? The most obvious of these, documented in the Philippines and Kenya, is a hormone (HCG) that causes miscarriages in women who later become pregnant. The altered vaccines are instruments of birth-prevention and population control. The World Health Organization and the Rockefeller Foundation—Globalism personified—have been researching these vaccines for decades.
Seven: The massive propaganda hailing the miraculous benefits of vaccination obscures very unpleasant truths about the crimes of the medical cartel. For example, see the Journal of the American Medical Association, July 26, 2000, Dr. Barbara Starfield, “Is US health really the best in the world?” Starfield concludes that, every year in the US, the medical establishment kills 225,000 Americans. That’s 2.25 million killings per decade. The strategy is simple: hog and clog the media with positive fairy tales about the medical cartel. Cover up the wholesale destruction.
Eight: The money. Medical care and treatment is a multi-trillion-dollar business, globally.
Nine: Maintaining the all-important fiction that “disease is inevitably caused by germs and nothing else,” the vaccine establishment can trumpet its fairy tale as the triumph of medical science in the war against germs. In doing so, it can, for example, divert attention from the toxic illness-effects of industrial pollution. Needless to say, this diversion is a major goal of polluting mega-corporations who forward the goals of Globalism.
It would be foolish, of course, to suggest that many doctors or medical bureaucrats are aware of all these nine reasons. Most medical personnel are brainwashed, through education, into believing what they support is real and true.
The hallmark of any long-term organized conspiracy is compartmentalization. Each player is only aware of his small part.
Rising through the ranks, players see a bit more of the actual picture, but they continue to believe they are doing the right thing.
And there is always the threat of loss of status, money, job, future career (and even life and limb) to offset the desire to blow the whistle.
At upper levels, players understand still more of whole picture. Few of them, however, are willing to grasp the intentionality of what is being visited on populations.
The top controllers are the contented psychopaths. They, too, believe they’re doing the right thing—but their definition of “right” and “good” is unique. It involves widespread destruction.
Understanding all these points should convince those who resist vaccination that playing defense, hoping for acknowledgment, and pleading for understanding are not enough. Going on the offense with great energy is required.

How the public education system is rigged to turn individuals into automatons – Part 1

FROM THE EDITOR:

DEAR READERS: In the course of a research I found this excellent article that deals with a hidden truth behind the current educational system. Written in 2004, the content of this piece may enlighten many who still believe our current schools curriculum is far away from what, we as people, need to learn and acquire knowledge, and to make us independent and develop our highest potential to make a better world. You be the judge. This is PART OF A SERIES

Advice for anyone still in school

“School sucks”
Most students will agree, and many have voiced their disgust concerning this abomination we call public education. They spite the good students who obey like little sheep, frown at imposed conformity, and laugh at the hypocritical nature of the system.
The same will be done here, but there is a big difference between these defiant students and me, the author. I was one of those good little sheep. I graduated high school with a 4.0, perfect attendance record, two years of student council under my belt, and a host of top scholarships to get me through college.
Teachers loved me, students both feared and respected me, and the principal knew me better than I knew him.
It’s enough to make you sick. I know it made me sick. So here I am, biting the hand that feeds because it’s been feeding nothing but propaganda and sour grapes.
I’m not writing this article because of envy or spite against system-indoctrinated valedictorians, nor am I trying to put blame on my school for all my academic failures. In fact, I cannot because I was that valedictorian and had few if any academic failures.
I’m writing this article because the system itself is messed up. Having been to many different public school systems over the past 15 years, I have more than adequate credibility to make this claim.
What is taught is random, useless, and meaningless
In class, too much time is wasted on useless topics.
The quality of education has been sacrificed for quantity, and as a result, academic inflation and the devaluation of information has turned intellectual ambition into apathy and bright minds into gray mush.
In an effort to be multicultural and eclectic, class curricula have become shallow and disorganized in their effort to teach students a global viewpoint. Topics are taught piecemeal, and never do teachers spend time to help students integrate the pieces into a coherent picture that can be used or built upon. And even if within a class the ideas are put together, between classes the grand education still remains compartmentalized.
For example, both geometry and physics can be mastered by the average student, but the connection and communication between the two often are not. When physics is taught in a junior high or high school physics class, it involves only the most elementary of geometry concepts, and vice versa. Without synthesis of the two, each remains without purpose or effectiveness.
Such synthesis between topics is neglected in the school curriculum, and consequently one’s experience in the public education system becomes a vague memory of random, meaningless, and useless facts, just as a disassembled engine is just a junk heap of random metal parts.
Most school subjects themselves aren’t even real knowledge.
History books are full of purposely engineered inaccuracies and distortions for the sake of corporate gain and political correctness.
Much of school is wasted time
The purpose of education is to make one an independent, competent thinker, one who can make a difference in the world for the better, and one who has the best chance for survival and success in the world.
So what the hell are we doing with such profundity of pep rallies, football and basketball games, proms, crazy hair days, sex education, death education, quiz bowls, and student council meetings?
Sure, without them, school would be dull.
But, school is supposed to be an incubator of young humans to prepare them for excitement in the real world. School is doing more than it’s supposed to and has instead become a surrogate provider of such excitement, turning it artificial and socially harmful. Is your vacuum cleaner also supposed to do the dishes, trim your hair, balance your checkbook, and be your Friday night date?
So much in school concerns extracurricular activities that time which could be spent on real world activities is instead being wasted in these trivialities. The effect is the amassing of students dependent upon the system and isolated from the real world. Social, financial, and academic dysfunction result.
Once again, quantity over quality has prevailed, because there is no profit for the supplier in quality. Quality only helps those in the demand, but when consumers of education have themselves been dumbed down to primal levels, discernment and appreciation of quality disappear.
Despite these problems, almost everyone is happy.
Parents are happy. Moms get to watch their soap operas and dads get to work while their kids are being babysat. They don’t have to worry about teaching morality or ethics to their children because it’s being done for them in school.
They don’t have to entertain them or spend genuine time with them because these children are too busy being entertained in school functions. Moms just have to drive their girls to soccer practice, and dads toss the football a few times.
Perfectionist parents keep their child competitive not by guiding them and helping them on a daily basis, but by yelling them once a school quarter when report cards come out.
Teachers are happy, as they have a secure job from 8 to 5, and the more they work, the more they get paid. The more school programs there are with federal or state funding, the more money they get. The more schools have the programs, the more funding and perks they receive from federal benefactors.
Everyone is happy, that is, except for the students.

But who cares? Who are they to complain?
Those with the gold make the rules, and all students have is some pocket change for cookies and milk. As is well known, in school, you spend more time learning how to obey and what to think, instead of and how to think and think for yourself.
Fact of the matter is that at least 3/4 of the time spent in school is waste.

Breastfeeding can cut childhood leukemia risk

by Amy Goodrich

Breastfeeding is the healthiest option to give your little one the best start in life. The benefits go way beyond providing basic nutrition. In addition to providing all the vitamins, nutrients and immune-building substances a baby needs, researchers at the University of Haifa in Israel suggest that it can cut the risk of childhood leukemia as well.
“Breast milk is a total food, intended by nature to exclusively supply all of the infant’s nutritional needs for the first few months of life. Breast milk is a live substance, containing antibodies manufactured by the mother and other unique qualities that promote a healthy flora in the intestines of the infant and influence the development of the child’s immune system,” said the study’s lead author, Efrat Amitay, of the School of Public Health at the University of Haifa in Israel.
Around 175,000 cases of childhood cancer occur worldwide every year. Leukemia accounts for about 30 percent of all childhood cancers. Very little is known about the cause and development, but these researchers found that breastfeeding may be the key to cut the risk by nearly one-fifth.
They based their findings on 18 different studies from around the world. They included more than 10,000 children with leukemia and about 17,500 healthy children.
This new study was published online on June 1 in JAMA Pediatrics. Efrat Amitay and his team report that there is strong evidence that breastfeeding for six months or longer is linked to a 19 percent decreased risk of leukemia compared with no breastfeeding or breastfeeding for a shorter period.
It is still not entirely clear why breast milk seems to have a protective role. Scientists believe that chemicals are transferred through the milk which boost the infants’ immune system and work as an anti-inflammatory agent which may reduce the risk of childhood leukemia.
While more research is needed to unravel the whole process, the scientists stress how important it is to educate women on the health benefits of breastfeeding. They also note that there is a need for making breastfeeding more openly accepted by the public.
“Because the primary goal of public health is prevention of morbidity, health care professionals should be taught the potential health benefits of breastfeeding and given tools to assist mothers with breastfeeding, whether themselves or with referrals to others who can help,” they wrote.
“The many potential preventive health benefits of breastfeeding should also be communicated openly to the general public, not only to mothers, so breastfeeding can be more socially accepted and facilitated,” they added.
This is not the first study to find a positive link between breastfeeding and health. Previous studies already associated it with a higher IQ, fewer ear or chest infections, a lower risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), and protection from becoming obese or developing diabetes later in life.
Most scientists will definitely agree that breast milk is the best option, but Professor Chris Bunce, of the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research charity, says that more research is needed and mothers who feed their baby formula shouldn’t be too concerned about this study.
“We do not want mothers who are unable to or choose not to breastfeed to worry as a result of this research,” he said in the Daily Mail.
“Although this research represents a comprehensive analysis of many different studies, it can still only tell us about associations rather than proven causes, which may be complicated by other background factors,” he added.
