What Has Happened to Our System of Governance?

The government of the United States of America has declared war on its own People and it is winning! Your life no longer belongs to you, it belongs to the government.

The government will decide the curriculum best suited for your child and what school they will attend. When they graduate, the government will place them in a government job that best suits the talents developed, which of course are always to serve the best interests of the government.

If it is determined that you do not raise your children in a manner that government approves, Child Protective Services will take them from you and assure they get a proper government approved upbringing. You can get all of the expensive attorneys you can afford or deal with a court appointed one. In the end it really won't matter because the courts that no longer serve justice will rule in favor of CPS and the government, because after all, who knows better on what is right for children than the government?

You will not be permitted to have any arms because you may do harm to others or yourself with them. Those found with arms or commit any crime with arms will be put to death; or at the government's discretion, given a sentence in a prison camp as a guard. 

The government will determine if you medical needs warrant the expense versus your potential worth to the government. In a nation of share the wealth, nobody can be permitted to burden society unless they are privileged by their service to the government and loyalty to their leader.

A Congress is no longer necessary since all they do is argue and never get anything done.  Some even bring up issues such as constitutionality, when it is clear, that anything government deems, “necessary and proper” or “promotes the general welfare” (from the government's point of view) is constitutional period. The President will determine what the best laws are and will just write an executive order to make it law. Those laws already written will be ignored or changed to best suit the needs of the government.

Even the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land cannot be questioned once they decide a law is constitutional. Why if that were permitted, every law the People don't like can be called into question. Government cannot permit such blatant disregard for the tyranny it forces upon us.

Liberty is rarely lost all at once. The branches are pruned off the Tree of Liberty, until it is either restored or destroyed. Government has been allowed to cut branches off the Tree of liberty by using fear as a tool to enact laws that deprive liberty for the promise of security. And every time another 'crisis' arises, another few liberties are taken away. 

Government can take all of your rights if you allow them to. The only thing they cannot take is free will.  That is the root from which the Tree of Liberty grows.  Free will in inherent in all of humanity and is our birthright. 

Have we reached the point of total enslavement by the government, now an entity unto itself?  Knowing what the government has become, it makes me wonder if Americans have forgotten who they are! (Or is it simply a matter of education?)

Teach Your Children Well

Updated August 7, 2013

Ask most individuals today and they will tell you that the government needs to do more for educating the children. The problem is no matter how much money they take from the taxpayer or borrow from the banks, education in America is dying.

Most of our founders did not have formal education. Yes, some had wealth and attended university, but many were taught at home. And they did not have easy access to a wealth of knowledge as we do today. The internet and online classes allow more individuals to learn, so why are Americans so dumb?

This is caused by what is taught and not necessarily who is taught. It is further eroded by a generation of teachers who are more concerned with policy than what they are teaching. And they too lack the skills, not because they are stupid, but because they also suffer from incorrect educational information and are themselves taught how to present the slop they are federally mandated to teach.

Standardization equates to control and poorer quality based on results. During the debates, only one person advocated the elimination of the Department of Education and a return of control to the local communities. After all, who knows what subjects will best serve the needs and wants of the people who live there? Obviously there will be increased diversity in curriculum  and that is a positive move toward making education work for American.

In his book, The Underground History of American Education,





 John T. Gatto explains how and why the quality of education has plummeted in the U.S. and offers common sense to fix the problem. It puts the responsibility to educate on the parents instead of the government. and it further makes it clear that schools that are private will be forced to compete in order to be successful.

Home schooling and charter schools offer more diversity in education than public schooling because they can tailor to the needs of the students instead of to some government mandated social standard. Further, they teach that which the students want to learn to further their dreams and aspirations and in a manner that parents are aware of and approve of.




There are many detractors who will claim that only the wealthy will be able to afford to send their children to the best schools. In fact the opposite will be true as the "affordable" institutions will compete with the most expensive schools in what they teach and how they present it to create the greatest comprehension levels. The end result will be students who learn and excel in their respective fields, and once again compete for the best jobs.

Education Redux

It seems that this Administration has no regard whatsoever for the rights of We the People anymore, nor the government that We the People designed with the ratification of the Constitution for the united States of America.

In his latest bid for reelection, the President in his infinite disrespect for law has decided to use more tax dollars to thump for a "reinvestment" to support tuition for poor students who could not attend college without tax payer support.

It is important to know that the founders were themselves educated and well informed in the law, and most of the colonists were also. And none of them had formal schooling or advanced degrees from colleges and universities. They were educated by their parents and peers, and subjects that interested them they were self-taught. There were no provisions made in the Constitution or in any other laws of States or Federal Government that made schooling mandatory. That was something that begun when large industrialists realized the implications for profit.

Ideologies were adopted to fit their needs, not to develop a child. In fact, the opposite is true of their intentions. They created drones, obedient workers, and instilled the "work ethic" as a fervent religious dogma, that hard work somehow equals success.

Seems to me that the nation was most successful without the forced schooling of more modern times. Taking over control of children's minds and filling those minds with a social engineering agenda regardless of the rights of parents to instill their own values in their children. American People have been duped.

Through the manipulation of the curriculum, standardized courses based on the magic numbers of grades and ages, we have allowed further subdivision of children which in effect keeps them immature and in need of more schooling.

Benjamin Franklin didn't require more schooling. he only required the basics which he learned without  school. I myself learned from my mother and grandfather how to read before I started kindergarten. In fact, I was reading the daily newspapers before first grade. I spent the first six years in elementary school where I was bored to death most of the time because the rest of the class could not keep up. Not because they were stupid, only that did not enjoy the same opportunity to learn as I did BEFORE I ever started school.

My values were those of my family and faith, not standards produced by corporate sponsored bureaucrats who only required obedient drones to carry out the assembly-line production processes that required very little real learning. And now we have reached the point where any other nation in the world can achieve greater successes with students than we can, and yet we keep spending more and more on education as results decline.

We certainly live in interesting times.

Dumbing Down the Population Creates Corporate Control of Government

Have you ever wondered why we don't have great minds today like Nikola Tesla And Thomas Edison? Or why our government lacks great statesmen like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson or George Washington? The answer lies in government forced standards in education.

Have you ever noticed that with all of the rights stipulated in our founding documents, there is no mention of the rights to schooling? Was it merely an oversight of these great thinkers or a purposeful omission? I will take the latter answer as my own for in all their wisdom, it seems that such an omission was deliberate. They knew something then about education that has been lost on the generations of the present.

Most of these great thinkers were self-taught and what little formal schooling they had played only a minor role in the development of their character and creativity. They knew that not everyone would assimilate knowledge at the same rate, nor would people have interest or need in subject matter at the same ages. Many of these pioneers of ours were well read and self-sufficient before they were sixteen years old. Quite a few were very successful in business and trade before they were in their twenties.

They attended no schools yet knew more of math and the physical sciences than their college degreed counterparts in the modern age. And that is the reason why we have no such great minds stepping forth to solve the economic tribulations we now all face, not only here in the United States, but around the world as well. But there are rare instances where these creative and knowledgeable come forth and offer the solutions to problems. But because they are not only rare, but are bringing forth solutions that are so different than what is offered by the “well-schooled” in positions of commerce and government, they are labeled “radicals” and extremists by their peers, and in some cases imprisoned for their “insurgencies.”

No nation, regardless of its natural and human resources, will survive at length when it depends on institutions to maintain it. In production of goods, no company can survive when it must spend more than it can take in, and instead of prosperity there is bankruptcy at worst and stagnation as best. Innovation dwindles when there are so few that can see beyond what limited learning they get in schools.

The same is true with people as they are treated as resources by the corporations, and the corporations were the influencers of modern education in America. The goal was not to teach young minds how to think, it instead taught them what to think. It produced very rigid curricula in order to suppress self-confidence and free-thinking individuals. It was created to instate a class system that was to have working class and middle class segments of the population, those that would labor with their bodies and others who labored with their minds, but both within limitations so as to keep them in their place as it were.

In limited degree today, we have charter schools and home schooling advancing the idea that children can learn better outside the classroom. This has cause more than a little resistance from the many boards of education and the unions representing educators. And with hood reason they need to be concerned, for it is proven that these “alternative” schools and learning systems are vastly more effective than the government mandated systems in place.

Everyone has the right to an education but no one has the right to go to school. Learning never needs to cost the student or parent of the student, it must be part of the responsibility a parent takes on in raising children, just as instilling ethic and morals upon a developing mind is an obligation of parenthood. It was never meant to be in the province of the State to take on that responsibility.
