Many great men in history have told the truth and warned about government and war many times, yet people don't know history and whatever the current government war propaganda is always works. We're going to cover a lot quickly. Richard (Dick) Marcinko was a Navy SEAL who fought in the Vietnam War. He received one Silver Star, four Bronze Stars, a Legion of Merit, two Navy Commendation Medals, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, and reached the rank of Commander. Then in 1980 he formed SEAL Team Six. After that he formed Red Cell to test the Navy's defenses against terrorism. There's a documentary on it. He was very successful at infiltrating the US military installations. He was able to place fake bombs on Air Force One and kidnap Naval officers. He was so good at it, or the Naval defenses are so weak and didn't like being exposed, that they placed him in prison for awhile. First lesson, the most powerful military force ever created in the history of humanity is vuln...

This article is like a journey. A journey to colonial Massachusetts, ancient Athens, the magical land of King Arthur, and a small perfect society formed by Henry Ford. 'The Old Deluder Satan Act; Or, The Massachusetts General School Law of 1647' Massachusetts has a long and interesting history of education. The first school founded in the American British colonies was the Boston Latin School in 1635. Five signers of the American Declaration of Independence attended there: Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Robert Treat Paine, and William Hooper. (Franklin only attended one year when he was 8, and then went to an English school the next year, and then left school to start working when he was 10, but he still technically went there for a short time.) Massachusetts was also the first colony to pass a public school law in 1642. More famous are the adjustments made in 1647 by 'The Old Deluder Satan Act'. Here's the whole thing, with updated spelling: "It...

In this article we get to see the philosophical foundations of a unique democratic school, a practical approach to modern homeschooling, the education of blacks during slavery, the failure of a genius, and a disagreement with a hero. 'A Place to Grow: The Culture of Sudbury Valley School' by Daniel Greenberg 2016 Greenberg was a physics professor at Columbia University. In 1965 he had the idea for a new type of school. In 1968 he founded Sudbury on a democratic model of education, and wrote many books on that experience from the 1973 to 2018. This is one of his later books. I like that he opens the book talking about where American culture comes from, and then how the education system was modified to provide workers for a newly industrialized society. He talks about how words are used to communicate culture, and how cultures are invaded by other cultures that adapt their wording. Intellectually it's an impressive understanding of the philosophical concepts and processes tha...

The French drop is a classic sleight of hand move by magicians. The basic technique is easy to learn. I learned it from a video by Penn and Teller so I could entertain my young niece and nephew. It worked great. I could make coins or small toys disappear, and then reappear somewhere else. Magic. I did it over and over and they laughed and applauded. It was fun. I only know the one trick, but it works over and over and over. Government propaganda for adults works the same way. Invading countries because of weapons of mass destruction that don't exist is going to work for the US government every time for the same reason that the French drop tricks kids every time, they don't know how it works. And, they can't know how it works. Young kids aren't developed enough to understand the French drop. They have to get older and be shown the trick to understand it. By definition the government isn't going to tell the public that it's lying to the public, so the trick can...
