More bad polling news for Biden; RFK seeks race reparations; FDA study finds second (bad) safety signal for kids; dems restless about Israel; Hamas Hospital story debunked; Biden wants billions; more.
These are distractions meant to keep us dancing while the world burns. The bad cat explained it well a couple of days ago:
"woke and global boiling and covid and the ukraine and every form of hyper-aggressive inclusivity insanity are not ideologies of belief for elites, they are circuses to dismay, daze, and distract you because pretty much no one can pay attention to whatβs really going on when they are watching their daughter get slide tackled by a 200 pound guy in a sports bra on a high school soccer field or they find out their 3rd grader is being read sexually explicit books by drag queens who give twerking lessons." βhttps://boriquagato.substack.com/p/wag-the-deficit
It's difficult to form a coalition and mount an action to save the world when the ultra-distracting bread and circuses reach a fever pitch. Cue the fever pitch drama and the resulting unchallenged the new world disorder.
It's watch the Hama/god-State Clown World Conflict. Don't look who really is choreographing the show. Don't try to find the loot changing hands. Don't question the god-government and their US lobby. Forget the border, mRNA in the food, suspicious fires ... forget anything destroying your homes and family. Just let the pre-programmed Atrocity Manipulation push your buttons. Folks! Be the Good Puppet on a string, just like with our Covid Show!
Okay! One wonders! One wonders who initiated this abortion unraveling of a new false not exactly what it appears to be thing? The usual suspects? For now, the only thing certain is that Iran and the Arab countries are not willing to be fooled again, or so it seems, at least so far ... because nobody is bitting down on the baited hook. And just maybe this is what disconcerts the Israeli government powers that be. Maybe they are backing back from The Program because the script is not working out like it is supposed to? And this unsettles them big time. I mean ... who in their right mind wants to be sucked into another US disaster?
Wow, great two comments here TriTorch. Do you ever watch Darkhorse podcast? At the end of their 197th (I think thatβs the correct episode, where they mostly talk about the WHO treaty BS) Bret goes somewhat into his theory about the binary mind control, and suggests we donβt know enough yet about βmass formationβ. Your initial comment here is encapsulating that concept perfectly. Well done! (Iβm not attributing the full concept to Darkhorse, just stating a parallel)
Thank you for your comment RebeccaGrrrl. I've definitely heard of that podcast and good things about it, but I realized politics was mind control during the Brett Kavanaugh televised show trial which was clearly a stage production by the uniparty. During COVID the contrived political mind control became so unmistakably crystal clear that I wrote a short article about it here: https://tritorch.com/folly
Sir, your link led me this morning to not only that very brief read, but to the wealth of other writing on your website (thoβ I often visit your substack). I hope to eventually read and save all on the site & to share with others.
What else I read, following βFollyβ was your packed & loaded: βThe COVID-19 Lockdown Shakedown Breakdownβ(https://tritorch.com/shakedown/ , 3/22. Itβs a primer about cv19, early 2020 β but not just). It was a needed reminder in succinct form (with items I had forgotten, not known or understood only dimly.) of the well-coordinated and executed cv19 machinations, some key players, past like but failed efforts, and how cv19 initially went down β only this time with far greater success: they more fully controlled more spheres, money and shills.
Itβs like looking at a focused and magnified area in detail of a masterβs painting that lends fresh insight to the whole in front of us. The two pieces read back-to-back this morning added much toward comprehending the immense story, and to thinking about it β even though Iβve known these things well! Being led through them again in this form and structure, is a fresh reminder of things we must not ever forget.
The duping of the masses with Cv19 as a part of the whole, summed up in your brief βTerminal Delusionβ, (https://tritorch.com/folly/) is a clear admonition. Also to never let it be forgotten. We have so much in plain normal living to distract and then the machinations exploiting our own natures in a barrage from all sides. Sometimes itβs an overwhelming effort to just elude the mind-catchers.
Rembrandt (my favorite) told stories and truth in his works, in both his paintings and sketches; each work in both in its whole and elements is rich in meaning. Strokes and lines are sure, quick and suggestive and yet deftly to the point. like the facts, quotes and insight you present.
Thank you, Tritorch. Glad youβre here. Glad I found your site. Information, truth, awareness, is a protection, though not the end. Itβs good to remember that despair and fear of these powers is also a trap. I pray that you, and we, will arm our souls to battle that.
Stay well. God Bless you and yours, may your work reach many more with success.
I am glad! And honored. Youβve been hard at it, in sbstk. posts, engaging here in comments and now I learn of your website. Thanks, good knight, for your kind response. It encouraged me as well.
Same. I can't even remember Bible verses well nor a funny joke. I am always amazed when someone can rattle off a verse quickly. And especially, these days, my brain (and seemingly everyone around me) can seem to remember simple words during conversation. I think it's brain overlord X a million.
From today's article: "Maybe this kind of thing has been going on for a long time, but ever since covid, mediaβs constant lying has become especially obvious and irritating."
One thing I've had to come to terms with is that we live in a sea of propaganda and lies. I don't know when it started, but it seems to have started a long time ago. For example, our media constantly lied about Lenin, Stalin, and the USSR, pushing articles saying the USSR had more rights, freedom, and due process than the US. While they were executing people by the truckload and dumping them in mass graves. Very brazen lies.
The more I've processed the last 8 years or so (since Trump entered the scene, really), the more I've realized: it's all propaganda.
Take a look at the "viewership" numbers for outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. Outside of 1 or 2 hour-long slots, they have less viewership than many Substacks and podcasts. No one watches them except people stuck at the airport. How do they afford all that on-air "talent" and associated overhead? Why would any advertiser spend ad dollars on that, unless there was a kickback of some kind. Who can provide that kickback? My guess, all taxpayer money being routed to advertisers through government-sponsored propaganda "private" companies.
What about culture/art? Also, all propaganda. Just one example (could easily talk about movies, TV, visual art as well), do we really think that rap - and its glamorization of black gang culture - just happened to organically arise just after racially-motivated socialist/communist forces had taken over all the meaning-making institutions of the West? Do we really think an upper middle class ballet dancer dressed up as a gang member was authentic and legit? All propaganda.
What about the "healthcare" industry, which actually seems to be making people sicker and recently put out a new food pyramid chart with Coco Puffs on it. While feeding people anti-depression meds that they know can't work because the proposed mechanism of action was proven by every study ever done on the topic to be non-existent. I could go on and on with healthcare alone. All propaganda.
Education? How about we spend more per student than just about anyone in the world and get some of the worst outcomes. Most of our urban centers are filled with kids who "graduate" high school not being able to read, write, OR do math. Can't do even one of those. They do feel aggrieved, however. For the wrong reasons, of course. They should be mad at their school and teachers, and probably the lunch ladies feeding them Coco Puffs, but instead are mad at the world for made-up grievances. They know nothing about how their world or their government works. And then enter the workforce and the ranks of voting citizens.
Unbelievably huge problem. And thank you to anyone who noticed all this decades ago and tried to sound the alarm bell.
No, you really don't. But I understand what you are trying to say. We really don't want to be blissfully ignorant... And, really, I don't think anyone is blissfully anything these days. I think most are scared and disturbed yet also hopeless and unable to actually improve their situation. Jesus is capable of sustaining us, we can just ask Him and He can calm our turbulent hearts.
Regarding the education system, there is an excellent book called βThe Underground History of Educationβ by John Taylor Gatto (former Teacher of the Year in New York, of all things). Itβs out of print but can be bought used and there are free pdf files on the βnet. You wonβt regret taking the trouble to find and read it.
Same here. He was one of the homeschooling heroes who gave us all the courage and the rationale for teaching our kids at home. A couple others were John Holt and Raymond and Dorothy Moore. I was just in a bookstore this weekend and found a new version of "Teach Your Own" by John Holt, updated by Patrick Farenga, who worked on the journal "Growing Without Schooling." I have every issue!
Yes, Trumpβs winning & βlosingβ elections woke us up. Some to the truth, others caught tds. Then the COVID lies & lockdown craziness. Bottom line - tptb do NOT like us, they hate us. Believe it. As long as we shut up, keep paying taxes & fund their wars theyβll only continue to manipulate & lie to get more.
Well on education I believe it started with no child left behind. Once that started grade inflation began. Its a sad state when people start lying to protect their job/career/domain. Meaning schools pressured teachers so schools werenβt downgraded and teachers felt the pressure when they couldnβt get kids to performβ¦. hence grade inflation. Lies lies lies. Kids that canβt do it passed. They should have been held back. I saw it in 2000 when I was in grad school and many in FL could not write a clear sentence or write a 3 paragraph paper with a solid argument.
Florida used to βgradeβ their schools every year. If a school failed twice in a row I think the students were eligible to go someplace else ( I think, it was a while ago). Anyway, an elementary school in town failed the first year. The second year when the grade came out there was a huge celebration! Yaaaa! They got a D+. I knew a teacher at the school and she said that every year kids would disappear before the testing. The kids were here illegally , usually spoke no English and were mysteriously deported before the testing. Bill Bennett famously said that if an outside enemy did this to our education system we would consider it an act of war. And that was 20 years ago. Schools now are free babysitters so women can work and pay taxes to the machine.
They still get grades, but kids/families don't have to wait to jump ship - the Legislature passed a law this year that gives $7,000+ per child (equivalent, roughly, to what the government schools get per child) to families to use for any legit educational setting:
I was schooled in CA. But I was referring mostly to the black athletes in FL college. However, I clearly remember all but 3 students could barely write an articulate thought.
'No Child Left Behind' was - literally - "Most Children Left Behind".
"Race to the Top' was 'Race to the Bottom'
The perverse incentives guaranteed these outcomes. Teachers were slipping into locked rooms where bubble tests were held to be sent to be graded, were carefully opening the sealed bunches with exacto knives, changing the answers to the correct ones, and then sealing them back up again just to make sure their schools got funding.
The powers that shouldn't be know our psychology inside and out.
It actually started with LBJ, with his communistic view of the βGreat societyβ, then when Carter was President creating the Department of Education (βHi, Iβm from the gubmint and Iβm he-yer to hep β.....in his peanut farmer voice.). Then along came Bush.......who called himself a Republican, but was as bIG A DEMONRAT as Clinton.
These puppets take the long view. Demons are very patient, whereas Godβs people are impatient to get back to doing things right.
In 2012 I was taking an online course at college with a very good academic reputation. I had 6 months to take the course and do in aand take a proctor exam. A lot of things personally happened during that time. Was barely able to study for the test and it was very hard. Left thinking there was no way I passed. Got the grade in the mail and I got a B! Couldn't believe it.
I did some brief reading about the education system in the US, starting back in the late 1800s... I goes back to the inception, I believe. Bring the farm kids in (hence summer vacation) and get them and the city kids to think the right way. Integrate the immigrants. They made it sound good. But upon reflection, I think thatβs where it started.
It's all been lies for well over a century ... and lying has always been more the norm than truth when it comes to 'the government'.
Washington telling the country in his Farewell Speech 'to stay out of other peoples business' around the globe had one big benefit largely under-appreciated. That is ... what one 'stays out of' never requires lying about.
Heard about this book "180 degrees. Unlearn The Lies you've Been Taught To Believe" from C and C commenters. Fits right in with this discussion. A real eye-opener. Must read in my opinion
Exactly why I'm voting RFK Jr. despite his ludicrous virtue signaling on reparations. He's the only candidate who seems to be taking the Deep State Intel takeover of our govt. seriously.
Can you imagine what the "Department of Phony Guilt Assuagement" created to administer reparations would look like? It would be "deep state" on godzilla level steroids. So RFK Jr lost me completely on that thought.
He lost me last week after going full tilt on supporting Israel on a war against Palestine. Right after he won me by declaring "Independent" status. I guess he's not as "independent" as he would have us believe. For my part, I support peace on all sides.
I would be interested to see someone explain how to achieve "peace on all sides" when one side wants to, quite literally, genocide the other. How can Hamas be removed from power in a peaceful way?
(None of the above should be taken to imply that Israel is above criticism either, by the way. It's just that they haven't explicitly stated an intention of wiping out the Palestinian state, the way Hamas has about Israel.)
I read something recently that began to reveal his radical leftist ideology. He wants a 3% mortgage interest rate for everyone with presumably the difference between the real rate to be paid for by the government (i.e. us, the taxpayers). So much for the marketplace. Bottom line, more control over us by the government.
RFK Jr needs to be publicly challenged on his reparations stance. I like a lot of things he says and stands for, and certainly not everyone can or will meet any of our standards for a candidate. But he needs to answer loudly and public about this one thing.
Yes, the government is taking enough of my paycheck already. I personally did not benefit from the "sins of my fathers" - I'm not willing to pay one red cent to the descendants of those supposed sins.
I agree. I am highly suspicious when any US media, or anyone else, for that matter, characterizes RFK's "stance" or "position" for us. I have yet to read an accurate portrayal of anything RFK has said. He's smart and articulate, and if he's running for president, he should be able to explain what he believes. Unfortunately, since he is subject to media blackout and smears, it is difficult for him to get his message out. I'd recommend attending one of his live rallies and asking your questions.
He doesn't have a "reparations stance." What he proposed - and what I sincerely disagree with - was a non-race based assistance (read: more welfare) plan to those at the bottom incomes. It didn't have anything to do with reparations for descendants of slaves.
But since he's the Intel-Deep State's sworn enemy, the mainstream media pushed it as "reparations" to dissuade conservatives like you and like me from noticing that the GOP has kept ZERO of its propaganda promises to conservatives.
I recently listened to an interview of Feargus OβConnor Greenwood, author of probably the largest compilation of the lies and propaganda weβve been conditioned to believe, and how to reverse them. Itβs on my wish list to purchase.
βWhatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirableβif anything is excellent or praiseworthyβthink about such things.β
In fact, since I spend a great deal of time reading C&C and the comments, I will write this verse down on index cards and tape them in various places throughout my home and car so I can remember to focus on Jesus and that I am to be lamplight to a dark world. Thanks Mary H. π
One of my favorite passages! And yet, can be difficult to balance when taking your eye off of the enemy can be detrimental. Ultimately, our trust that the Lord is in control and on the throne needs to be our focus.
If anyone is looking for a hobby, learning to study photos and spot fake ones is a good hobby to have in this age of misinformation, I mean lying. The people who can do that are the reason the early photos of Chinese supposedly dropping dead from "the virus" were found out to be fakes. Trust me, after doing it for a while, you'll spot them immediately, even when on a TV screen where you can't study them for long. You won't be able to unsee the fakeness.
and he should know since his father was George S. Morrison, who commanded the fleet during the Gulf of Tonkin incident* that led to an escalation of the Vietnam War
I've saved a screenshot from Hananya Naftali, Israel's 'digital spokesperson' (on twatter/x) that is time-stamped 10/17/23 at 2023hrs:
"BREAKING: Israeli Air Force struck a Hamas base inside a hospital in Gaza. A multiple number of terrorists are dead. It's heartbreaking that Hamas is launching rockets from hospitals, Mosques, schools, and using civilians as human shields."
This tweet was supposedly deleted minutes later. Make of it what you will, I'm just passing on information.
and he should know since his father was George S. Morrison, who commanded the fleet during the Gulf of Tonkin incident that led to an escalation of the Vietnam War
Get Real, check out Jeff's coverage in today's update about halfway down the page. It starts with:
" The Wall Street Journal ran a followup to the Hamas General Hospital story yesterday headlined βU.S., Experts Say Evidence Suggests Palestinian Militantsβ Rocket Hit Gaza Hospital..β After all that hoopla, it was just a friendly-fire casualty, with some cheap European cars hardest hit."
The minute this Fake Thing started and when I saw the headlines and especially the 'pictures' all doctored up and composed to pose, I figured ... "Oh, here we go again." And the cinch of the thing, all the Suspect Media was screaming out the exact same thing like a rifle shot on cue.
Thank God we are getting a good C & C read on this today! A credit to Jeff.
It is possible that this thing is being walked back now because the propaganda roll out is not working like it once did, and as 'they' anticipated it would. Israel may be in the process of walking this back for this reason ... and for smelling another big US 'policy' failure in the making. And not working put too well for Uncle Joe Pervert as was planned.
Based, we've reached the point in our Orwell story where the reality and fiction have merged together - at least when it comes to the fourth estate.
The only thing left to do is stop believing their unrelenting crocodile tear manipulative lies and focus on putting our own houses, communities, and souls in order.
It's not so much that the US experts are reliable, as that "US experts" - at least ones that get quoted in newspapers - seem to be frequently pro-Palestine, so if they're admitting it's friendly-fire that suggests the evidence is strong enough that it can't be in any way spun into "Israel did it".
Besides that, there is also video on the internet of a rocket being fired from Gaza and appearing to malfunction in the air right above the hospital and the fire/explosion occurs just a second or so later, so that's consistent too.
Maybe there's more details that would change my perspective, but for now the odds seem to favor the "Hamas rocket misfire" theory.
American Universities should post honest virtuous signage; HATE FREE ZONE, Jews and MAGA Republicans NOT WELCOME!
Now the NPR and Academics are claiming the nuances and gray areas are difficult to navigate and understand (perhaps meaning Blame White Capitalist Climate Killers and excuse terrorist killers of color) explore and sort through the complexities; the varied and Non-Binary Views of the Palestinian Issue etc etc etc. They hate when their LEFTIST Groups infight and immediately run cover to excuse and obscure their actions and words as being the result of controlled Right-Wing manipulation and misinformation and Rightist peddled emotional intellectual ignorance upon the victims
Weird ... although some what predictable longer term, that the Division Operation divide and conquer would some day come back an bit the hand that sowed it.

He was certainly wrapped up in it. If anyone would know how much power the media holds over the minds of the populace it would be the son of that man - a son who somehow managed to rise ubiquitous stardom.
... which brings David McGowan's book, Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon, to mind. If you haven't read it, McGowan's thesis is that the whole Laurel Canyon music scene that produced The Doors, The Byrds, et al., was a psyop.
McGowan points out Jim Morrison's pedigree, that Steven Stills may have been Spec Ops in Vietnam in a prior life, that many of the other prominent members of Laurel Canyon society came from families with military and/or intelligence ties. McGowan also brings up how Miles and Stewart Copeland hail from a family with established intelligence ties and suggests that the tentacles of the so-called 'deep state' are firmly rooted in the entertainment industry.
No shock there and which may explain Taylor Swift. The book's a difficult read - at least it was for me with my limited attention span - but worth looking into.
Outstanding. Like Mao's legions of teenage Red Guards clutching their Little Red Books and beating college professors into ideological submission, Biden's puppeteers and the DNC will look to summon waves of enraged 'Swifites' to enforce compliance.
Tucker recommended a book, "Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties," by Tom O'Neil. I haven't finished it yet. He theorizes that Manson was working for the FBI.
Interesting take and worth reading. Thanks for the recommendation. I've read similar theories about Jim Jones and the People's Temple cult. I've come to accept that they probably weren't simply groups of isolated nutters as we have been led to believe in the ensuing decades. (Check out The Devil's Chessboard for a great take on the Dulles brothers and the 'deep state').
McGowan didn't quite go that far, as I recall. However, the whole Laurel Canyon scene as he depicted it was fraught with incestuous personal relationships between principal players like the aforementioned Morrison, David Crosby, Steven Stills, Dennis Wilson of Beach Boys fame, and the Manson Family with the intel community superimposed.
One of my best friends was the radarman on that destroyer. He personally told me it was all bullshit and the torpedo attack never happened - just as the Pentagon Papers confirmed.
Back then I was all pro-VN war like any "good" conservative. But somewhere between the Tonkin Gulf Incident and attacking Iraq for 9/11 I began to wise up.

We had quite a discussion in my ladiesβ Bible study group last week. Can prayer change Godβs mind? He has a plan that will not be thwarted, I know. It was an interesting question. Any insights? I think the key is asking in Godβs will.
I believe that God has a certain plan for if we pray and repent, and another plan for if we don't. It's not a matter of changing His mind, it's a matter of convincing Him to enact a certain plan.
Yes, in reading Jeremiah, God through the prophet several times appeals to the backsliding Israelites to change their ways so that he wonβt have to punish them.
It's a discussion that can make one's head spin for sure! God knows everything, so He knows what He's going to do. So if He already knows what He's going to do, how does changing His mind fit in to that? I don't think our finite minds can grasp the concept.
Regarding God's plan, I know one theologian has given the analogy of God as a chess player: he can allow you to take your own moves, and respond depending on your moves, but because he is the ultimate Power and Intelligence, no matter what moves you make He will still ultimately bring about the end result that he desires. It may just be more or less pleasant for yourself in the process, depending on whether you work with Him or against Him.
(And others have pointed out that when we pray, we should in the end be praying for what God wants, not what we want: "Your will be done, on earth as in heaven", and "If it is possible, let this cup pass from me... but not my will but Yours be done".)
The fake hospital bombing was a success. Everyone on one side of the binary mind control apparatus known as politics got their two minutes of hate.

Why would any advertiser spend ad dollars on that, unless there was a kickback of some kind. Who can provide that kickback? My guess, all taxpayer money being routed to advertisers through government-sponsored propaganda "private" companies.
What about culture/art? Also, all propaganda. Just one example (could easily talk about movies, TV, visual art as well), do we really think that rap - and its glamorization of black gang culture - just happened to organically arise just after racially-motivated socialist/communist forces had taken over all the meaning-making institutions of the West? Do we really think an upper middle class ballet dancer dressed up as a gang member was authentic and legit? All propaganda.
What about the "healthcare" industry, which actually seems to be making people sicker and recently put out a new food pyramid chart with Coco Puffs on it. While feeding people anti-depression meds that they know can't work because the proposed mechanism of action was proven by every study ever done on the topic to be non-existent. I could go on and on with healthcare alone. All propaganda.
Education? How about we spend more per student than just about anyone in the world and get some of the worst outcomes. Most of our urban centers are filled with kids who "graduate" high school not being able to read, write, OR do math. Can't do even one of those. They do feel aggrieved, however. For the wrong reasons, of course. They should be mad at their school and teachers, and probably the lunch ladies feeding them Coco Puffs, but instead are mad at the world for made-up grievances. They know nothing about how their world or their government works. And then enter the workforce and the ranks of voting citizens.
Unbelievably huge problem. And thank you to anyone who noticed all this decades ago and tried to sound the alarm bell.
Yea thereβs so much deception and irony that being aware is a burden. Sometimes I wish I could become blissfully ignorant again.
No, you really don't. But I understand what you are trying to say. We really don't want to be blissfully ignorant... And, really, I don't think anyone is blissfully anything these days. I think most are scared and disturbed yet also hopeless and unable to actually improve their situation. Jesus is capable of sustaining us, we can just ask Him and He can calm our turbulent hearts.
Grace from God. Grace is absolutely amazing. I wish it could last 24/7.
But it does, it really does!
Grace for me comes when I have intention and pray, which for me is a necessity for Grace. I have had it. God wants you to get closer to Him.
Totally ditto that comment!
Regarding the education system, there is an excellent book called βThe Underground History of Educationβ by John Taylor Gatto (former Teacher of the Year in New York, of all things). Itβs out of print but can be bought used and there are free pdf files on the βnet. You wonβt regret taking the trouble to find and read it.
When my son had his first baby, I gave him that book. He now has two more babies and he and his wife have decided to homeschool.
What part of the country? Kids returning from Sicily soon, sans jabs of all kinds, so homeschooling is a must.
We are in Fl
Thanks! No job openings there but Virginia with Youngkin and Sears might be a possibility.
Here it is: tritorch.com/degradation/JohnTaylorGattoTheUndergroundHistoryofAmericanEducationBook.pdf [pdf ebook]
TriTorch, thank you for the link.
Rich resource, this. Thanks so much!
I love Gatto - discovered him in the early 90s when my kids were young and i was embarking on homeschooling. Such an important voice!
Same here. He was one of the homeschooling heroes who gave us all the courage and the rationale for teaching our kids at home. A couple others were John Holt and Raymond and Dorothy Moore. I was just in a bookstore this weekend and found a new version of "Teach Your Own" by John Holt, updated by Patrick Farenga, who worked on the journal "Growing Without Schooling." I have every issue!
His book Dumbing Us Down is still in publication and is excellent.
Yes, I read that and it was an eye opener on many levels!
Yes, Trumpβs winning & βlosingβ elections woke us up. Some to the truth, others caught tds. Then the COVID lies & lockdown craziness. Bottom line - tptb do NOT like us, they hate us. Believe it. As long as we shut up, keep paying taxes & fund their wars theyβll only continue to manipulate & lie to get more.
Trump circa 2018: "It's not me they are after, it's you. I'm just in the way."
Trump has been consistently right ever since coming down the golden escalator.
We didn't KNOW HOW RIGHT HE WAS and continues to be in THIS REGARD!!!
Well on education I believe it started with no child left behind. Once that started grade inflation began. Its a sad state when people start lying to protect their job/career/domain. Meaning schools pressured teachers so schools werenβt downgraded and teachers felt the pressure when they couldnβt get kids to performβ¦. hence grade inflation. Lies lies lies. Kids that canβt do it passed. They should have been held back. I saw it in 2000 when I was in grad school and many in FL could not write a clear sentence or write a 3 paragraph paper with a solid argument.
Florida used to βgradeβ their schools every year. If a school failed twice in a row I think the students were eligible to go someplace else ( I think, it was a while ago). Anyway, an elementary school in town failed the first year. The second year when the grade came out there was a huge celebration! Yaaaa! They got a D+. I knew a teacher at the school and she said that every year kids would disappear before the testing. The kids were here illegally , usually spoke no English and were mysteriously deported before the testing. Bill Bennett famously said that if an outside enemy did this to our education system we would consider it an act of war. And that was 20 years ago. Schools now are free babysitters so women can work and pay taxes to the machine.
They still get grades, but kids/families don't have to wait to jump ship - the Legislature passed a law this year that gives $7,000+ per child (equivalent, roughly, to what the government schools get per child) to families to use for any legit educational setting:
https://www.fldoe.org/schools/school-choice/k-12-scholarship-programs/fes/
I was schooled in CA. But I was referring mostly to the black athletes in FL college. However, I clearly remember all but 3 students could barely write an articulate thought.
It's funny how the devil inverts everything.
'No Child Left Behind' was - literally - "Most Children Left Behind".
"Race to the Top' was 'Race to the Bottom'
The perverse incentives guaranteed these outcomes. Teachers were slipping into locked rooms where bubble tests were held to be sent to be graded, were carefully opening the sealed bunches with exacto knives, changing the answers to the correct ones, and then sealing them back up again just to make sure their schools got funding.
The powers that shouldn't be know our psychology inside and out.
It actually started with LBJ, with his communistic view of the βGreat societyβ, then when Carter was President creating the Department of Education (βHi, Iβm from the gubmint and Iβm he-yer to hep β.....in his peanut farmer voice.). Then along came Bush.......who called himself a Republican, but was as bIG A DEMONRAT as Clinton.
These puppets take the long view. Demons are very patient, whereas Godβs people are impatient to get back to doing things right.
It started long before that. But definitely got worse after No Child Left Behind.
Goals 2000
In 2012 I was taking an online course at college with a very good academic reputation. I had 6 months to take the course and do in aand take a proctor exam. A lot of things personally happened during that time. Was barely able to study for the test and it was very hard. Left thinking there was no way I passed. Got the grade in the mail and I got a B! Couldn't believe it.
I did some brief reading about the education system in the US, starting back in the late 1800s... I goes back to the inception, I believe. Bring the farm kids in (hence summer vacation) and get them and the city kids to think the right way. Integrate the immigrants. They made it sound good. But upon reflection, I think thatβs where it started.
It's all been lies for well over a century ... and lying has always been more the norm than truth when it comes to 'the government'.
Washington telling the country in his Farewell Speech 'to stay out of other peoples business' around the globe had one big benefit largely under-appreciated. That is ... what one 'stays out of' never requires lying about.
Great post! Thanks!
Ironically just speaking with a university prof who mentioned many of her students have not mastered basic math.
Heard about this book "180 degrees. Unlearn The Lies you've Been Taught To Believe" from C and C commenters. Fits right in with this discussion. A real eye-opener. Must read in my opinion

Exactly why I'm voting RFK Jr. despite his ludicrous virtue signaling on reparations. He's the only candidate who seems to be taking the Deep State Intel takeover of our govt. seriously.
Can you imagine what the "Department of Phony Guilt Assuagement" created to administer reparations would look like? It would be "deep state" on godzilla level steroids. So RFK Jr lost me completely on that thought.
He lost me last week after going full tilt on supporting Israel on a war against Palestine. Right after he won me by declaring "Independent" status. I guess he's not as "independent" as he would have us believe. For my part, I support peace on all sides.
I would be interested to see someone explain how to achieve "peace on all sides" when one side wants to, quite literally, genocide the other. How can Hamas be removed from power in a peaceful way?
(None of the above should be taken to imply that Israel is above criticism either, by the way. It's just that they haven't explicitly stated an intention of wiping out the Palestinian state, the way Hamas has about Israel.)
βDepartment of Phony Guilt Assuagement"
Now if that isnβt a spot on accurate name for it!! π
I read something recently that began to reveal his radical leftist ideology. He wants a 3% mortgage interest rate for everyone with presumably the difference between the real rate to be paid for by the government (i.e. us, the taxpayers). So much for the marketplace. Bottom line, more control over us by the government.
RFK Jr needs to be publicly challenged on his reparations stance. I like a lot of things he says and stands for, and certainly not everyone can or will meet any of our standards for a candidate. But he needs to answer loudly and public about this one thing.
Yes, the government is taking enough of my paycheck already. I personally did not benefit from the "sins of my fathers" - I'm not willing to pay one red cent to the descendants of those supposed sins.
I agree. I am highly suspicious when any US media, or anyone else, for that matter, characterizes RFK's "stance" or "position" for us. I have yet to read an accurate portrayal of anything RFK has said. He's smart and articulate, and if he's running for president, he should be able to explain what he believes. Unfortunately, since he is subject to media blackout and smears, it is difficult for him to get his message out. I'd recommend attending one of his live rallies and asking your questions.
RFK, Jr. on reparations:
https://youtu.be/uJInDnBFSbQ?feature=shared
I suspect Breitbart and NY Post want to tank RFK's independent candidacy.
He doesn't have a "reparations stance." What he proposed - and what I sincerely disagree with - was a non-race based assistance (read: more welfare) plan to those at the bottom incomes. It didn't have anything to do with reparations for descendants of slaves.
But since he's the Intel-Deep State's sworn enemy, the mainstream media pushed it as "reparations" to dissuade conservatives like you and like me from noticing that the GOP has kept ZERO of its propaganda promises to conservatives.

One of my very favorite quotes by Wayne Dyer!
If anyone is looking for a hobby, learning to study photos and spot fake ones is a good hobby to have in this age of misinformation, I mean lying. The people who can do that are the reason the early photos of Chinese supposedly dropping dead from "the virus" were found out to be fakes. Trust me, after doing it for a while, you'll spot them immediately, even when on a TV screen where you can't study them for long. You won't be able to unsee the fakeness.

Great analogy
and he should know since his father was George S. Morrison, who commanded the fleet during the Gulf of Tonkin incident* that led to an escalation of the Vietnam War
*false flag
Vietnam ( Indochina) conflict began way before that.
That just escalated it for the benefit of the MIC.
And... amongst other thing's, the WEF controls the MSM.
Interesting that Israel said they were going to bomb it.
I guess they didn't get around to it?
I've saved a screenshot from Hananya Naftali, Israel's 'digital spokesperson' (on twatter/x) that is time-stamped 10/17/23 at 2023hrs:
"BREAKING: Israeli Air Force struck a Hamas base inside a hospital in Gaza. A multiple number of terrorists are dead. It's heartbreaking that Hamas is launching rockets from hospitals, Mosques, schools, and using civilians as human shields."
This tweet was supposedly deleted minutes later. Make of it what you will, I'm just passing on information.
and he should know since his father was George S. Morrison, who commanded the fleet during the Gulf of Tonkin incident that led to an escalation of the Vietnam War
TriTorch...What did I miss? R U saying the hospital bombing was Fake.?
Get Real, check out Jeff's coverage in today's update about halfway down the page. It starts with:
" The Wall Street Journal ran a followup to the Hamas General Hospital story yesterday headlined βU.S., Experts Say Evidence Suggests Palestinian Militantsβ Rocket Hit Gaza Hospital..β After all that hoopla, it was just a friendly-fire casualty, with some cheap European cars hardest hit."
The minute this Fake Thing started and when I saw the headlines and especially the 'pictures' all doctored up and composed to pose, I figured ... "Oh, here we go again." And the cinch of the thing, all the Suspect Media was screaming out the exact same thing like a rifle shot on cue.
Thank God we are getting a good C & C read on this today! A credit to Jeff.
It is possible that this thing is being walked back now because the propaganda roll out is not working like it once did, and as 'they' anticipated it would. Israel may be in the process of walking this back for this reason ... and for smelling another big US 'policy' failure in the making. And not working put too well for Uncle Joe Pervert as was planned.
So after all the US Experts comments on covid and gender identity, we're going to believe them on this???
Based, we've reached the point in our Orwell story where the reality and fiction have merged together - at least when it comes to the fourth estate.
The only thing left to do is stop believing their unrelenting crocodile tear manipulative lies and focus on putting our own houses, communities, and souls in order.
Believe the Bible. All the rest is, in the end, just noise.
I couldn't agree more. Thanks!
It's not so much that the US experts are reliable, as that "US experts" - at least ones that get quoted in newspapers - seem to be frequently pro-Palestine, so if they're admitting it's friendly-fire that suggests the evidence is strong enough that it can't be in any way spun into "Israel did it".
Besides that, there is also video on the internet of a rocket being fired from Gaza and appearing to malfunction in the air right above the hospital and the fire/explosion occurs just a second or so later, so that's consistent too.
Maybe there's more details that would change my perspective, but for now the odds seem to favor the "Hamas rocket misfire" theory.

Now the NPR and Academics are claiming the nuances and gray areas are difficult to navigate and understand (perhaps meaning Blame White Capitalist Climate Killers and excuse terrorist killers of color) explore and sort through the complexities; the varied and Non-Binary Views of the Palestinian Issue etc etc etc. They hate when their LEFTIST Groups infight and immediately run cover to excuse and obscure their actions and words as being the result of controlled Right-Wing manipulation and misinformation and Rightist peddled emotional intellectual ignorance upon the victims
Weird ... although some what predictable longer term, that the Division Operation divide and conquer would some day come back an bit the hand that sowed it.

What sophistry are you spouting, nice try.
Sophocles a true hero of mine; if only i could aspire to the level of media and government officials, and corporate advertisers in this regard. I'll keep trying--spouting

He was certainly wrapped up in it. If anyone would know how much power the media holds over the minds of the populace it would be the son of that man - a son who somehow managed to rise ubiquitous stardom.
... which brings David McGowan's book, Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon, to mind. If you haven't read it, McGowan's thesis is that the whole Laurel Canyon music scene that produced The Doors, The Byrds, et al., was a psyop.
McGowan points out Jim Morrison's pedigree, that Steven Stills may have been Spec Ops in Vietnam in a prior life, that many of the other prominent members of Laurel Canyon society came from families with military and/or intelligence ties. McGowan also brings up how Miles and Stewart Copeland hail from a family with established intelligence ties and suggests that the tentacles of the so-called 'deep state' are firmly rooted in the entertainment industry.
No shock there and which may explain Taylor Swift. The book's a difficult read - at least it was for me with my limited attention span - but worth looking into.
hmmm...Taylor Swift as a dumbed down psyop...makes a sad amount of sense...
"Taylor Swift as a dumbed down psyop".
Outstanding. Like Mao's legions of teenage Red Guards clutching their Little Red Books and beating college professors into ideological submission, Biden's puppeteers and the DNC will look to summon waves of enraged 'Swifites' to enforce compliance.
Gives a fresh meaning to "Swift-boating". Sorry, Jean-Jacques Kerry.
The cultish devotion to these entertainers does seem very ripe to be used and abused for manipulation purposes π
Tucker recommended a book, "Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties," by Tom O'Neil. I haven't finished it yet. He theorizes that Manson was working for the FBI.
Interesting take and worth reading. Thanks for the recommendation. I've read similar theories about Jim Jones and the People's Temple cult. I've come to accept that they probably weren't simply groups of isolated nutters as we have been led to believe in the ensuing decades. (Check out The Devil's Chessboard for a great take on the Dulles brothers and the 'deep state').
McGowan didn't quite go that far, as I recall. However, the whole Laurel Canyon scene as he depicted it was fraught with incestuous personal relationships between principal players like the aforementioned Morrison, David Crosby, Steven Stills, Dennis Wilson of Beach Boys fame, and the Manson Family with the intel community superimposed.
The book is available to download free at

One of my best friends was the radarman on that destroyer. He personally told me it was all bullshit and the torpedo attack never happened - just as the Pentagon Papers confirmed.
Back then I was all pro-VN war like any "good" conservative. But somewhere between the Tonkin Gulf Incident and attacking Iraq for 9/11 I began to wise up.
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. And this is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.
β 1 John 5:13-15
βAsk, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.β
β Jesus, Matthew 7:7-8
You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

We had quite a discussion in my ladiesβ Bible study group last week. Can prayer change Godβs mind? He has a plan that will not be thwarted, I know. It was an interesting question. Any insights? I think the key is asking in Godβs will.
I believe that God has a certain plan for if we pray and repent, and another plan for if we don't. It's not a matter of changing His mind, it's a matter of convincing Him to enact a certain plan.
Yes, in reading Jeremiah, God through the prophet several times appeals to the backsliding Israelites to change their ways so that he wonβt have to punish them.
Yes, I often think of Jonah and the repentance of Nineveh.
Yes, in HIS will
I suggest doing a word study/verse search on the word βrelentβ in the NAS or LSB.
How about what to search in a different version? KJV
In the KJV, the word is translated "repent."
It's a discussion that can make one's head spin for sure! God knows everything, so He knows what He's going to do. So if He already knows what He's going to do, how does changing His mind fit in to that? I don't think our finite minds can grasp the concept.
Regarding God's plan, I know one theologian has given the analogy of God as a chess player: he can allow you to take your own moves, and respond depending on your moves, but because he is the ultimate Power and Intelligence, no matter what moves you make He will still ultimately bring about the end result that he desires. It may just be more or less pleasant for yourself in the process, depending on whether you work with Him or against Him.
(And others have pointed out that when we pray, we should in the end be praying for what God wants, not what we want: "Your will be done, on earth as in heaven", and "If it is possible, let this cup pass from me... but not my will but Yours be done".)
