The result of planned
ignorance
Ignorance is a lack of knowledge, education or awareness.
There are many people today who know little or nothing about the
U.S. Constitution. There are many who know little or nothing of U.S. history,
let alone world history. There are many who know little or nothing about central
banks, and how they are used to steal our wealth.
There are many who are enraptured by the death of Queen Elizabeth
II and other glossy news of the day. There are many who take at face value the
words of the elected class, the pundits and mainstream media talking heads and
printed headlines.
There are many who buy into the party line of their preferred
political party. There are many who blindly believe the various political
parties have a platform on which they base their actions and agendas and are
committed to following through on those policies. There are many who believe
the president, senator or representative they elected has in their hearts the
best interests of the people they supposedly serve.
There are many who are ignorant.
It's not all their fault — particularly the younger generations.
Their education system has been corrupted by 1960s radicalism — the same
radicalism that has infected our government.
Public education has become a sad joke. Its downward slide
accelerated with the passage of "No Child Left Behind." None are now
left behind because none are allowed to get ahead. The intelligent children are
left languishing and fending for themselves while extra resources are devoted
to those unable to keep up.
Lack of understanding of the founding of our great country has led
us to where we are now. Lack of understanding of how a president's policies can
affect a country has led us to where we are now.
It is only this lack of understanding — ignorance — that leads
people into thinking government can do it better than the free market can.
Sure. With the compassion of the Department of Motor Vehicles and
the efficiency of the Post Office.
Don't think the elected class is ignorant. They're not. They know
exactly what they're doing. They rely on ignorance so that the people will be
conditioned to go full steam ahead with hurtful, ant-Republic, anti-free market
policies.
Never mind whether it's constitutional, says the elected class. We
know what's best for you.
Never mind whether it's constitutional, say the ignorant, it's
free.
Many will go to the polls in November seeking to remove
progressives from Congress. Hopefully, this effort will be a successful next
step after the Tea Party was destroyed, to slow the growing leviathan of
Marxism that has pervaded both the Democrat and Republican parties.
Unfortunately, the idea that the Federal government is supreme may
be too entrenched throughout the three branches of government and the populace
to depend on elections as the final remedy.
We can learn from our mistakes
Nullification of unconstitutional laws and a return to the
Constitution and the America envisioned by the Founders, is the only way for
Americans to take their government back. And it's got to happen one state at a
time.
Nullification has a long and storied history in the country, and
it stems from the idea that "the United States consists not of a single,
aggregated people, but of particular people, organized into distinct
states," writes Thomas E. Woods Jr., in his book Nullification:
How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century.
This idea, called the compact theory, is supported by the very
fact that the states voted separately to ratify the Constitution and that the
Constitution was not ratified by a single, consolidated vote of all individuals
in the original 13 states, according to Woods.
This, of course, is the opposite of what most
children — educated in public schools that propagandize the supremacy
of the Federal Government and centralized authority — are taught.
They are taught the nationalist theory designed to keep them ignorant. And what
we see today is the result.
Yes, rogue U.S. Supreme Courts have ruled that Federal law
supersedes State law. But that is because Supreme Court justices are employees
of the Federal government — just as Congressweasels are employees of the
Federal government — and they have long shown a proclivity to rule in favor of
more government.
But the 10th Amendment states: "The powers not delegated to
the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are
reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." That is, as long
as the people don't remain ignorant of their power in the first place.
Yours for the truth,

. How to Prepare Your Home for a Brutal Winter
According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, we’re in for a really
rough winter. But the Farmer’s Almanac doesn’t have the best batting average
based on past forecasts, so maybe there’s not much to worry about.
Then again, there’s something beyond the folklore of weather
forecasting that is showing up more and more in the news feed. Say hello to the
polar vortex.
The Polar Vortex was first mentioned a couple of years ago as
many parts of North America endured colder than expected temperatures. There
were also reports of unusually heavy snowfall.
It seemed like just another periodic weather anomaly like those
recurring references to fluctuating ocean currents like La
Nina and El Nino. But the Polar Vortex is a
little more complicated...

Planned ignorance=socialist indoctrination in US schools!
Stupidity in america seems to be planned by Marxist Teacher Unions & Universities; perhaps the CDC should look into this epidemic.
Politiians know that a stupid population is the easiest to control
The key word-PLANNED! Too many Marxists stink up schools & teacher unions.
• There is little doubt that a major contributing factor to the ever-growing ignorance of much of the native-born citizenry can be traced back to Marxist leaning education establishment that has been increasingly focused, for the past 45 years, on indoctrination not education.
