“Humanistic Cesspools”

Day 31: Skin­ner Hor­ror Files The ulti­mate trou­ble with Skinnerian  “sci­en­tif­ic, research-based” standards, out­come-based methods, and “com­mon core” results   Who were these chil­dren?How were they the sub­jects of a “sci­en­tif­ic, research-based” study?[1] If we as par­ents and cit­i­zens believe that the same “sci­en­tif­ic, research-based” standards[2] applied to research in edu­ca­tion and psy­chol­o­gy are those applied […]

Shaping Mankind’s Behavior

Day 30 : Skinner Horror Files The Hor­ri­ble Truth Comes Out!  In 1982, just as the Skin­ner­ian machine was rolling full-speed ahead into the class­rooms of Amer­i­ca, THE COMPLETE WORKS OF FRANCIS A.

Smart Growth a Dumb Deal for the Poor

Yesler Ter­race, Seat­tle, 1200 Res­i­dents to be displaced In 1880, he was notice­able. Dressed in long coat and top hat, his one hand wield­ed a mag­ic wand punc­tu­at­ing the elixir in the oth­er.  His con­coc­tion cured all from headaches, to “kid­ney trouble.” Today’s snake oil­er is col­lege edu­cat­ed, mar­ket­ing savvy and lends an infec­tious pas­sion […]

It’s Not Fearmongering or a Conspiracy Theory when Elitists Are on Record for 95% of the Population to be Eliminated

“If I were rein­car­nat­ed I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to low­er human pop­u­la­tion lev­els.” ‑Prince Phillip, Duke of Edin­burgh, leader of the World Wildlife Fund Recent­ly, we have post­ed a cou­ple of arti­cles at D.C.

Hornbeck’s Horrors

Day 29: Skin­ner Hor­ror Files Part 2: Trick or Treat? As men­tioned in yes­ter­day’s post, David Horn­beck­’s “draft” plan for Iowa’s edu­ca­tion trans­for­ma­tion ini­tia­tive, leaked to the press and dat­ed Sep­tem­ber 19, 1990, told the whole sto­ry. It was a most com­pre­hen­sive expla­na­tion of the Skin­ner­ian total­i­tar­i­an sys­tem applied to society. For the next 25 years Horn­beck […]

The Free Trade Deception Almost No One Understands

The sev­enth round of U.S./EU (TTIP) nego­ti­a­tions [began] Sep­tem­ber 29 in Chevy Chase, Maryland. If you have heard about the two huge free trade agree­ments — theTrans-Pacif­ic Part­ner­ship (TPP) and the Transat­lantic Trade and Invest­ment Part­ner­ship (TTIP) — being nego­ti­at­ed by the Oba­ma admin­is­tra­tion, you prob­a­bly think they have some­thing to do with an attempt to […]

Skinner Arrives on Your Doorstep

Day 28: Skin­ner Hor­ror Files Trick or Treat? In the Fall of 1990 a doc­u­ment was pre­ma­ture­ly leaked to the Iowa pub­lic. This doc­u­ment was a land­mark guide to under­stand­ing the direc­tion that edu­ca­tion reform would take in the decades to come. It was nev­er intend­ed to be reviewed by the pub­lic, but was sup­posed to remain […]

Opting Out as the Remedy May Mean Accidentally Accelerating Nonconsensual Transformations

Did you notice that trans­for­ma­tions is plur­al? That added ‘s’ is  not a case of ear­ly morn­ing hyper typ­ing. As I have men­tioned numer­ous times with sub­stan­tial evi­dence in my book Cre­den­tialed to Destroy and this blog, we can­not sep­a­rate out the end goals in our real world from the inten­tion of using edu­ca­tion to […]

Massachusetts Public Schools Teaching the Shahada: ‘There Is No God But Allah’

This is an out­rage, but expect­ed and exact­ly what I warned of in my book, Stop the Islamiza­tion of Amer­i­ca: A Prac­ti­cal Guide to the Resis­tance, in the chap­ter “The Mosque­ing of the Pub­lic Schools.” The sha­ha­da that the chil­dren are forced to recite in Mass­a­chu­setts pub­lic schools is the Mus­lim pro­fes­sion of faith (“there […]

“We Can No Longer Afford Freedom”

Day 27: Skin­ner Hor­ror Files B.F. Skin­ner’s Legacy I am not the only one who has writ­ten the his­to­ry of edu­ca­tion reform.

Far-reaching “Waters of the United States” rule could be the most significant EPA regulation you have never heard about: opinion

In 1972, Con­gress enact­ed the Clean Water Act (CWA) to “restore and main­tain the chem­i­cal, phys­i­cal, and bio­log­i­cal integri­ty of the Nation’s waters.” The fed­er­al gov­ern­men­t’s legal author­i­ty to reg­u­late water is large­ly derived from the Con­sti­tu­tion’s Com­merce Clause, which the­o­ret­i­cal­ly lim­its the gov­ern­men­t’s juris­dic­tion to the type of nav­i­ga­ble water­ways where such com­merce occurs. Sad­ly, […]

PA Senate Amends Buffer Rule that Represented the Worst Sort of Government

A win for the little guy  Government’s role is to serve the peo­ple.  Amer­i­ca is a peo­ple with a gov­ern­ment, not a gov­ern­ment with a peo­ple. The people—their needs, their inter­ests, their rights—come first in all things. Our Con­sti­tu­tion pro­hibits gov­ern­ment behav­ior that is arbi­trary, capri­cious, abu­sive, or uncom­pen­sat­ed tak­ing of pri­vate prop­er­ty, among others. […]

Washington State Protects Endangered Gophers Better than Cops, Citizens

Third in a series on new ESA list­ing. Part Four will be pub­lished on Octo­ber 28, 2014. Do Wash­ing­ton State offi­cials believe that threat­en­ing exces­sive force against peace­ful cit­i­zens is jus­ti­fied if a rodent’s life may be in dan­ger?  Or that rodents have more rights and deserve more pro­tec­tion than under­staffed cops and the cit­i­zens they protect?

Common Core and Agenda 21

Bill Gates, the Unit­ed Nations, and the Oba­ma admin­is­tra­tion have been try­ing with all they’re worth to nation­al­ize, along the lines of Unit­ed Nations Glob­al­iza­tion stan­dards of edu­ca­tion under the guise of Com­mon Core. Many of the major schemes dri­ving these very deeply dis­turb­ing “stan­dards” was over­looked. It’s not­ed, offi­cial UN doc­u­ments and state­ments by […]

Can a Well-Endowed “Endangered” Gopher Really Drive a Tractor?

Sec­ond in a series on new ESA List­ing. Part Three will be post­ed on Octo­ber 27, 2014. In Wash­ing­ton state’s Thurston Coun­ty, bureau­crats won Endan­gered Species Act (ESA) pro­tec­tion for a tiny clus­ter of pock­et gophers because of their alleged super-sized penis­es. How­ev­er, nobody but local offi­cials appear to have seen this fea­ture.  They have offered no proof of this endow­ment, nor does […]

Gopher wins ESA Listing Based on Genitalia Size

First in a series on new ESA list­ing. Part Two will be post­ed on Octo­ber 26, 2014. Does size real­ly mat­ter? Accord­ing to the Wash­ing­ton State Depart­ment of Fish and Wildlife and U.S. Fish and Wildlife, it sure does. The odd claims of state and fed­er­al offi­cials have been enough to earn a small group of this incred­i­bly […]

The Target Date for America’s Depopulation Has Been Set

The Inter­net is filled with rev­e­la­tions of how the glob­al elite want to depop­u­late human­i­ty by 90%. Land­marks such as the Geor­gia Guide­stones are top of the evi­dence list for proof of this agen­da. There is an emerg­ing body of evi­dence that the Geor­gia Guide­stones are a cor­rect rep­re­sen­ta­tion of this idea. Thanks to Ted Turn­er […]
