Political Polls Are Shepherd Hooks for the Weak-Minded

Instead of really getting down to brass tacks, not only where the candidates stand on issues, but also on the reality of our collective situation -the poll trumps analytical thought. This is a bandwagon advertising technique designed to tap into the herd instinct to pick the winner. Doesn't matter if you wind up choosing between Hitler and Stalin, the most important thing is to pick a winner. Notice that the media, who we know is bought and paid for by the large corporations who got large via the Federal Reserve working in tandem with Congress in the Iron Triangle model of business, talks about polls, polls, polls. They don't talk about solutions, issues, or records, unless it is cherry-picked data that advances the agenda of their employers, who are interlocked in all this mess.








I saw this post at Hot Air a week back and thought it exemplified the cognitive dissodance that "conservatives" seem to be having:




First thing, you have to see this "fan video" done by a Ron Paul supporter. It's a well-done ad.




Now here are the outtakes from Tina Korbe's piece (emphasis mine)

It takes just one run-through to recognize that this video was not made by an official campaign — not because the production values are low (they’re really, really not), but because it’s somehow fun to watch. And it is that even though it points out inconsistencies in the two GOP frontrunners — inconsistencies I’d really rather not think about! 
Yes, prole, turn off your brain, it makes assimilating your country just sooo easy. That's how we've gotten as far as we have with our plan to erode national sovereignty into a world wide tyranny run by central banks.


Make no mistake: It’s an attack video that could just as easily have come from the Democratic National Committee as from a supporter of a GOP candidate. It’s not above cheap shots, either. It references Newt Gingrich’s affairs, for example — a relatively untouched subject this election cycle.
All it does is condemn them with their own words, without taking them out of context. It's only reporting what you in the mainstream conservative community won't. It's so much easier to watch the polls like you're watching NASCAR or something. Referencing Newt Gingrich's affair is a obligatory mention because not everyone can say that they were the Speaker of the House of Representatives having an affair whilst leading a very historic impeachment of the President of the United States for having a BJ. That is really unprecedented, thank goodness.


With just one quote from Ron Paul — and a brief screen shot of “Ron Paul 2012″ at the end of the video — this piece somehow does exactly what it’s intended to do … reminds viewers that Paul, of all the GOP candidates, has arguably been the most consistent in his views. If only those views were consistently conservative!
Poor Tina doesn't really know what a conservative is. I imagine she is referring for Paul not towing the line on an obscenely LIBERAL foreign policy. Yes, I said liberal, because our foreign policy is being run by a bunch of liberals and has been for decades. Who decides when we go into a foreign country and what we do there? Not our Congress, not the people, not even the top military brass, although they have some strategy input once the decision is made. No, these decisions are made by Elites in an the Ivory Tower of the RAND Corporation, the CFR, and other such think tanks. Just look at the mission statements of these organizations. Oh, and by the way, these groups are not pro-America, or pro-Constitution. Quite the opposite, they are for the submersion of national sovereignty into a globalist government. That's who's putting our young people out on the front lines of bongo bongo land guarding opium fields and keeping the chessboard open for more plays. TPTB are using the military might of America as their mule, and a whole bunch of servicemen know it too:




Getting back to polls, here's where we were about this time last election cycle:

(Nov 28, 2007) 
Avg poll position.
Giuliani- 25%
 Thompson - 14%
McCain- 14%
 Huckabee - 13%
 Romney - 13%
 Paul - 5% 
If you recall, Guiliani was not the nominee and since that time an increasing number of people have become aware of role of central banking in every facet of our government, including foreign policy. Not a majority, mind you, but the American Revolution was fought counting on support from 3% of the population.



It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds. --Sam Adams

Consider it lit.

My Grandpa's English Book

Working in the garage this weekend, I came across a book entitled Literature and Life: Book Three published in 1936, revised from a 1929 edition. It is a book on American literature. Each section features literary selections from a period in American history. There is a little historical background introduction prior to the selections to set the stage for the reader. My grandpa is currently 89 years old and graduated high school in 1940. This book was published by Scott, Foresman and Co, which is still a huge public school textbook publisher.

So what? Well, remember that post awhile back about the Reece Committee? Do you remember what Attorney Kathryn Casey found when she was allowed to read the founding minutes of the Carnegie Foundation? What were their three objectives, can you remember without clicking the link? Ok, I'll go ahead and tell you: 





1. Gain control of the State Department
2. Transform public education
3. Teach a "revised" form of American history, especially at the university level.

We'll be focusing on the last two points. 


Let's start with the three authors:




• Dudley Miles - Head of English Department, Evander Childs High School, New York City. 



Here is Dudley in his own words : Composition is Training in Thought, which appeared in The English Journal, a publication of the National Council of Teachers of English. This was a round table group founded in 1911, which is of course, liberal as all get out today. The whole goal was to "standardize" English instruction. Now some of you might be thinking I'm going a little overboard with the paranoia and the average person wouldn't see anything wrong with writing projects being used to hone the thought process. That is until you realize that the industrialists of the time were plotting how to gain control of the American schoolchildren's minds. Dr. Miles has written many articles and books on "how to" teach English. In the Jeffersonian education style, you just give the kid some great books and get them to respond to it. Take note of my homeschool guide tab, there is a list of books to get you started. But look at what 100 years of these 'teaching experts' have handed us: a nation full of idiots. 




• Robert C. Pooley - Assistant Professor in the Teaching of English, University of Wisconsin

Says English Teachers need more training
Gave the 1963 Keynote address to the NCTE
Didn't think underprepared writers should be admitted to his school, UW, but there should be lax standards elsewhere
He headed up The Wisconsin Project, a federally funded 1964 english cirriuclum study.
Are we getting the picture?




UNC Chapel Hill


• Edwin Greenlaw - Late William Osler Professor of English Literature, The John Hopkins University.



From the UNC-Chapel Hill site:



 A distinguished scholar who studied Edmund Spenser, Greenlaw was among the first group of faculty chosen for Kenan professorships. 
What is a Kenan professorship? This relates back to point three, in how the industrialists that set up their tax-exempt foundations for the purposes of socially engineering the population to accept central planning more easily.

According to the John Hopkins website, a Kenan Professorship is described thusly:


A North Carolina native, WILLIAM R. KENAN JR. traveled throughout the region to attend to his wide-ranging business interests in railroads, real estate, and the Standard Oil Company. After his death in 1965, the Kenan Trust sought to promote his strong interest in enhancing student-teacher relationships at prominent educational institutions through the creation of chairs in his memory.The WILLIAM R. KENAN JR. CHARITABLE TRUST has endowed more than 85 professorships at colleges and universities on the East Coast, including Johns Hopkins.
What do you want to bet that those chosen for these "paid for" experts were just a little sympathetic to progressivism and internationalism? Now I want to make clear that the teachers using the books probably just skipped over the attempts of micromanagement of the curriculum and did what they'd been doing their whole careers - whatever it took to help their students succeed.  Charlotte Iserbyt has highlighted how the old-guard teachers were pushed out to make way for the "certified" teachers (read: indoctrinated teachers) to move in and actually read the scripts and accept the federal and state intrusions into what had once been a purely local endeavor. You don't have real representation when  a group of nine people are representing dozens of schools as is the case in some counties. Used to be each school had its own board. Decentralized government is more adaptive to the people, but isn't that the point? Isn't that what our "planners" work against?

One thing I noticed in the book that was not to be found in earlier modes of instruction were the leading class discussions at the end of each selection. As if the teacher is too stupid to lead a class discussion, his/her thinking has already been done for them. Isn't that kind of our intellectually superior overlords? It was an after reading assignment with leading questions for my second grader that launched me into the home-school world, but that's a story for another day.

This has been my little case study in where things started to go so wrong. I hate to speak in generalities and throw around terms like Elite when these people have names, histories and a past to explore and root out. I hope you've enjoyed this little journey that started with just an old textbook.
