    The concept of killing for mere sport is something I'll never comprehend. While I grasp the necessity of hunting and fishing for sustenance, the idea of taking a life simply out of boredom is perpetually astonishing to me.

  • THE ORIGIN OF COMPULSORY SCHOOLING

    “In our dream we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand. The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science. We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians. Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply.”

    - Rev. Frederick T. Gates, Business Advisor to John D. Rockefeller Sr., 1913 [1]

    The current American school system took root around the turn of the century. In 1903, John D. Rockefeller founded the General Education Board, which provided major funding for schools across the country and was especially active in promoting the State-controlled public school movement.


    Rockefeller Education Board, 1915

    The General Education Board was not interested in encouraging critical thinking. Rather, its focus was on organizing children and creating reliable, predictable, obedient citizens. As award-winning former teacher John Gatto puts it, “school was looked upon from the first part of the 20th Century as a branch of industry and a tool of governance.” The Rockefellers, along with other financial elite and their philanthropic organizations (such as the Gates, Carnegies, and Vanderbilts) have been able to mold society by funding and pushing compulsory state schooling for the masses.

    Here’s a timeline to show the radical shift in education and the influence of the financial elite.

    Pre 1840: Literacy Rates High, Schools Predominantly Private and Locally Controlled

    Up until the 1840’s, the American school system was mainly private, decentralized, and home schooling was common. Americans were well educated and literacy rates were high.

    1852: Massachusetts Passes First Mandatory Attendance Law

    1902: John D. Rockefeller Creates the General Education Board

    At the ultimate cost of $129 million, the General Education Board provided major funding for schools across the nation and was very influential in shaping the current school system.

    1905: Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is Founded

    1906: NEA Becomes a Federally Chartered Association

    1913: Frederick T. Gates, Director of Charity for the Rockefeller Foundation, Writes “In our dream…the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand”

    Frederick T. Gates wrote in The Country School of Tomorrow, Occasional Papers Number 1:

    “In our dream we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand. The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science. We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians. Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply.”

    1914: National Education Association (NEA) Alarmed by the Activity of the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations

    At an annual meeting in St. Paul Minnesota, a resolution was passed by the Normal School Section of the NEA. An excerpt stated:

    “We view with alarm the activity of the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations — agencies not in any way responsible to the people — in their efforts to control the policies of our State educational institutions, to fashion after their conception and to standardize our courses of study, and to surround the institutions with conditions which menace true academic freedom and defeat the primary purpose of democracy as heretofore preserved inviolate in our common schools, normal schools, and universities.”

    1917: NEA Reorganizes and Moves to Washington DC

    The NEA is the largest labor union in the U.S., representing public school teachers and other school faculty and staff. It generally opposes merit pay, school vouchers, accountability reforms, and more.

    1918: Every State Requires Students to Complete Elementary School

    1932: “Eight Year Study” — Largely funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York and the General Education Board

    This laid the groundwork for education reform and the schooling system we have today.

    1946: Rockefeller Foundation grants the General Education Board $7.5 billion

    1953: Reece Committee of the US House of Representatives Reveals Agenda of Carnegie Endowment and Rockefeller Foundation on Education

    “It seems incredible that the trustees of typically American fortune-created foundations should have permitted them to be used to finance ideas and practices incompatible with the fundamental concepts of our Constitution. Yet there seems evidence that this may have occurred.”

    -Norman Dodd, Director of Research, Special Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations, 1954 [2]

    1968: Edith Roosevelt’s Article “The Foundation Machine” Indicts Carnegie Funded Textbooks

    Carnegie funded “Programmed Textbooks” were distributed to “culturally deprived areas.” Edith Roosevelt stated that “these young children are being indoctrinated with a pattern of anti-social ideas that will completely and violently alienate them from the mainstream of American middle-class values.”

    1979: US Department of Education Created

    1986: Carnegie Teaching Panel Charts New Teacher Framework & Provides $900,000 in Grants for Reforms

    2003: 14% of American Adults are Illiterate

    The National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) administered tests which revealed 14% of US residents would have extreme difficulty with reading and written comprehension. In 2003, some 30 million American adults had Below Basic prose literacy, 27 million had Below Basic document literacy, and 46 million had Below Basic quantitative literacy.

  • Washington’s reckless spending comes with a cost to US taxpayers. While the fed may simply roll over their debt and issue new debt to pay off the old, the American public is on the hook for immediate liquidity every single year via taxation. The misconception that Biden would only target the wealthy needs to be dispelled as a recent study reveals that 63% of new audits targeted Americans earning under $200,000. Every new war, aid package, climate change package, social program, and migrant who crosses the border is now the responsibility of the US taxpayer. Did anyone vote for this nonsense? We do not live in a Democracy and anyone who says otherwise is either misinformed or lying.

  • FILM PREMIER - The Beginning Of The End (Cult Of The Medics)

    If you wish to change the world....
    You MUST begin with changing YOURSELF!

    Until the world takes to heart the concept of
    "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" mankind will remain lost

    "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is a biblical concept spoken by Jesus in Luke 6:31 and Matthew 7:1212. Matthew 7:12 says, "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets"1. Luke 6:31 says, "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise"


    Matthew 7:1 - 7:5
    1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

    2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

    3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

    4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

    5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

  • 1990s politics setup a discovery in the village of Nikiti northern Greece
    1990s politics setup a discovery in the village of Nikiti northern Greece.

    Fossils in Greece Suggest Human Ancestors Evolved in Europe, Not Africa a concept dating back to Darwin’s proposal in 1871 to reshape our understanding of our own origins. NOT university of today.
    The village of Nikiti in northern Greece has become the center of a groundbreaking discovery that could reshape our understanding of human evolution. Fossils unearthed here, believed to be around 8 or 9 million years old, were initially thought to be linked to an extinct ape known as Ouranopithecus. However, recent analyses have opened the door to the possibility that these fossils may belong to a previously unknown species, suggesting a European origin for human ancestors.

    This revelation stands in contrast to the widely accepted view that our lineage began in Africa, a theory rooted in Charles Darwin’s 1871 proposal. Darwin posited that all hominins, our modern and extinct human relatives, originated from a common group in Africa. Yet, he also considered the potential for a European origin, given the fossil evidence of large apes found on the continent.

    The fossils from Nikiti lend support to Darwin’s alternative hypothesis, indicating that Europe may have been the cradle for the group that eventually led to hominins. This line of thinking suggests that the first known hominin, Graecopithecus, which lived in what is now Greece, was preceded by the species represented by the Nikiti fossils. It raises the intriguing possibility that hominins later migrated to Africa.

    It is crucial to acknowledge that this new interpretation is not without its skeptics within the anthropological community. The debate continues, fueled by ongoing research and scholarly discussion. The notion that Southeastern Europe might have once been home to the ancestors of many species now associated with Africa adds a fascinating layer to the discourse. The Nikiti discovery indeed offers a fresh lens through which to view human evolution, underscoring the intricate tapestry of our origins.

    This version maintains the essence of the original post while omitting specif.-ic references to the research.

  • CDs were a significant step in the evolution of music.

    Here’s a brief history of the compact disc (CD) for music, excluding its use for data storage:

    Origins and Development:
    The compact disc was developed in the late 1970s as a digital optical disc storage format for audio.
    The first compact disc player was demonstrated by Philips and Sony in 1979.
    The first commercial CD release was the 1982
    Conceptualization (Late 1970s): The idea of a compact disc for audio recordings emerged in the late 1970s through the collaboration between Philips and Sony. The goal was to create a digital format that offered superior audio quality and durability compared to analog formats like vinyl records and cassette tapes.
    Development and Standardization (Early 1980s): Engineers at Philips and Sony worked on developing the technical specifications for the CD format, including disc size, encoding method (PCM – Pulse Code Modulation), and error-correction techniques. In 1980, they jointly established the “Red Book” standard, which defined the CD-DA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) format.
    Commercial Launch (1982): The first commercially available compact disc for music was released in Japan in October 1982. It featured recordings by artists such as Billy Joel, ABBA, and Dire Straits. The CD launch marked a significant milestone in the music industry, offering consumers a new, high-fidelity audio format.
    Technological Advancements (1980s

    These included the introduction of CD players with features like shuffle, repeat, and programmable playlists. Additionally, improvements in mastering and manufacturing processes enhanced the audio quality of CDs.

  • The history of food is as old as human civilization itself, with various cultures developing unique cuisines and culinary traditions over millennia. Here's a brief overview of some key moments and developments in food history:

    Hunter-Gatherer Era: For thousands of years, early humans survived by hunting animals and gathering edible plants. This period laid the foundation for basic cooking techniques such as roasting and boiling.

    Agricultural Revolution (10,000 BCE): The transition from hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities marked a significant turning point in food history. The cultivation of crops such as wheat, rice, and barley led to the development of farming villages and the domestication of animals for food.

    Ancient Civilizations: Civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and the Indus Valley contributed to the advancement of agriculture, irrigation systems, and culinary practices. They developed cooking methods, fermentation techniques, and food preservation methods like drying and salting.

    Classical Era (Greece and Rome): Greek and Roman civilizations greatly influenced Western culinary traditions. They introduced olive oil, wine, and various herbs and spices to cooking. The Greeks also established the concept of symposia, social gatherings where food, wine, and conversation were central.

    Medieval Europe: The Middle Ages saw the rise of feudalism and the dominance of the Catholic Church in Europe. Monasteries played a crucial role in preserving and developing culinary techniques. The use of spices, herbs, and exotic ingredients became more widespread among the nobility.

    Age of Exploration (15th–17th centuries): European exploration of the Americas, Asia, and Africa brought about the Columbian Exchange, which facilitated the global exchange of foods, plants, and animals. Potatoes, tomatoes, corn, and chili peppers were introduced to Europe, while coffee, tea, and spices became more accessible.

    Industrial Revolution (18th–19th centuries): Technological advancements revolutionized food production, transportation, and preservation. Canned foods, refrigeration, and pasteurization transformed the way people consumed and accessed food. Mass production and urbanization also led to the rise of fast food and convenience foods.

    20th Century: The 20th century saw further industrialization of food production, as well as the emergence of food science and technology. Fast food chains proliferated, and processed foods became ubiquitous in Western diets. However, there was also a growing interest in organic and sustainable food practices.

    Contemporary Food Trends: In recent decades, there has been a resurgence of interest in traditional and regional cuisines, as well as a focus on health, sustainability, and ethical food production. Food globalization continues, with fusion cuisines and cross-cultural culinary influences becoming more prominent.

    Throughout history, food has not only been essential for survival but also a reflection of cultural identity, social status, and economic conditions. The evolution of culinary traditions and food systems has been shaped by a complex interplay of factors, including geography, politics, religion, technology, and globalization.
