Iserbyt am thoroughly disgusted with the neoconservatives, including President Trump, \u00a0who let this happen.\u00a0 Their role in this unconstitutional activity is equal to the \u00a0role of those who have been planning the globalist agenda since 1945 and before. Their lack of opposition to the education restructuring freight train, which left the station when President Ronald Reagan was elected and took orders from the Heritage Foundation, were essential for this final blow to our capitalist economic system: freedom for the individual to pursue education to suit his\/her purposes in the future.\u00a0 I cannot think of one single formerly true conservative group\u00a0 leader that does not have blood on his\/her hands regarding this treason.\u00a0\u00a0 (BTW, not speaking out is equal to participation.) Had the neocons fought as hard as about 500 (400\u00a0 no longer with us)\u00a0 who have been opposing this communist agenda since pre-World War II and creation of UN, this could not have happened.\u00a0 The left and right are joined at the hip and always have been.\u00a0 The late Erica Carle\u00a0 wrote an article entitled \u201cThe Chamber of Commerce: Its Power and Goals\u201d (December, 1983):\u00a0 She  outlined\u00a0the agenda for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as follows:<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nTaken from the \u201cdeliberate dumbing down of america\u201d, page\u00a0 34 (excerpt):<\/p>\n<p>United Nations Charter became effective on October 24, 1945. Playing an important role in the creation of the United Nations was the United States Chamber of Commerce. Two slogans were popularized in order to gain backing for Chamber leadership:\u201cWorld peace through world trade\u201d and \u201cMore business in government and less government in business.\u201d\u2028<\/p>\n<p>The following are some of the measures the Chamber of Commerce has supported:\u2028<\/p>\n<p>1. Creation of the United Nations<br \/>\n2. Creation of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.\u2028<br \/>\n3. Regional Government or \u201cNew Federalism\u201d\u2028<br \/>\n4. Medicare (Commercialization of medical professions)<br \/>\n5. Postal reorganization.\u2028<br \/>\n6. Organized Crime Control Act<br \/>\n7.

Management and human relations techniques for handling personnel in industry.\u2028<br \/>\n10. Health care planning councils<br \/>\n11. Prepaid medical practice (HMOs)<br \/>\n12. Federal land use planning.<br \/>\n13. Federally-imposed career education<br \/>\n14. Equal Rights Amendment<br \/>\n15. Cross-town busing for desegregation<\/p>\n<p>Now we can just add the <a href=\"https:\/\/cops.usdoj.gov\/Default.asp?Item=2558\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Community Oriented Policing System (C.O.P.S)<\/a> system to the mix, since it was spawned by regional government and is already in our towns, cities, and the schools (school resource officers).\u00a0 No one would listen to me when I tried to, from my son Sam&#8217;s and my first-hand experience, explain the role of the COPS group in Portland, repeating a murderer\u2019s\u00a0 lie that Sam, a U.S. Marine combat vet in Gulf War I, \u201chad shot himself in the leg\u201d . The unelected COPS group published the lying version on the Internet two weeks prior to the Portland Police Dept\u2019s excellent report, containing numerous eye witness statements, etc. which referred to Sam as \u201cvictim\u201d and murderer \u201cas suspect\u201d of \u201celevated aggravated assault.\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nAnd, only three of so-called conservative groups in the nation or media picked up on the story, although many of them were informed.  The only ones that would touch the \u201cfor some reason \u2018hot potato\u2019 story\u201d were <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rense.com\/general96\/hurley1.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rense.com<\/a> who interviewed me at least ten times, and posted  all of my articles related to the subject; John Stadtmiller at RBN.com; and  Daniel Brigman at Power Hour who gave me excellent one-hour interviews. <\/p>\n<p>Why are the following\u00a0 four important issues,\u00a0taking place as I write,\u00a0NOT included in the\u00a0Red Pill Expo agenda?<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n(1)\u00a0tax-funded school choice\/charters with unelected boards required for implementation of Soviet workforce training, which represents not only denial of\u00a0 freedom to choose one&#8217;s vocation (future), but\u00a0 end of our representative form of government through end of voting;<\/p>\n<p>(2) role of behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner in lifelong education and training (known as community re-education) mainly due to corporate need for\u00a0 creation of the &#8220;perfect worker&#8221; aka New Soviet Man;<\/p>\n<p>(3) Community Oriented Policing System (modeled on East German STASI) which will place the police, now being trained in Israel, to run and control our towns and cities through communist Total Quality Management techniques. \u00a0The late B.F.\u00a0Skinner would have loved the COPS\u00a0program since it uses the Skinnerian\u00a0method of rewarding citizens who do good deeds, good deeds determined by the unelected police.\u00a0COPS is a result of public\/private partnership carved in stone during President Reagan&#8217;s White House Private Sector Initiative<\/p>\n<p>(4)\u00a0\u00a0White House proposal to merge Depts. of Labor and Education into one agency as centerpiece of federal government overhaul, as mentioned at the beginning of this piece. \u201cThe plan to consolidate the Labor and Education departments, which first surfaced in Education Week and was later confirmed by other news outlets, would allow the Trump administration to focus its efforts to train students in vocational skills in one place.\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe importance of the above four issues takes precedence over any of the issues on the agenda at the Red Pill Conference which will lure innocent\/good Americans into efforts, the majority of which, at this particularly crucial time in our nation\u2019s history, are not as important as issues dealing with (1)\u00a0 COPS (E. German STASI) program; (2) Communist\/fascist merger of education with labor (school to work); approval of Skinnerian\/Pavlovian animal training method for workforce training and behavior\/value change; and (4)\u00a0approval of tax-funded school choice\/charters:\u00a0end of representative government?\u00a0 I am truly amazed that not one of those issues was directly addressed at the Red Pill Conference.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose one could accuse me of being a real PILL for critiquing what I am sure very good conservatives believe is a conference dedicated to sincere education of an army of people so they can take back their country.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nFor those who have accused me of being a PILL, yes, I agree that I am being a PILL, so\u00a0 please accept my apology and know that I\u00a0 mean no one harm.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nI only fear what is coming down the pike for future generations if good Americans do NOT understand how they are being intentionally or unintentionally diverted,\u00a0 perhaps by very well meaning people, from focusing on the primary issues outlined in this article.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About G. Edward Griffin\u2019s \u201cRED PILL EXPO\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Red Pill Expo of Ed Griffin&#8217;s rightfully includes Lavoy Finicum&#8217;s wife speaking on behalf of her husband who is no longer able to speak regarding the tragic shooting incident that took his life, and what lead up to it. But the question I have to ask is, why have they not invited my son Sam as well, who miraculously survived a shooting through the femoral artery and was meant to be dead (no vitals upon arrival at hospital, hypovolemic shock stage 4!) He is alive to speak about how his attempted murder was carefully planned,\u00a0how he miraculously\u00a0 survived, and is now able to tell the nation all about what is going on right now on the ground, through the Community Oriented Policing System, UN Agenda Smart Cities, STASI-type control of our cities.\u00a0 Sam could have spoken from first-hand experience. \u00a0Or, if Sam didn\u2019t feel up to it, I could have spoken since I know the tragic story all too well, from A-Z.\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nTwo days after Sam&#8217;s attempted murder we called noted Attorney Jerry Spence\u2019s office in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for legal representation.\u00a0 His office lead us to believe it was very interested in the case, but the next day they called and told us they were sorry they were too busy with local cases and couldn&#8217;t deal with something so far away in Maine.\u00a0 I sent info out to the NRA, GOA, Judicial Watch, Rutherford Institute  \u2014\u00a0 all the big groups that rake in dues from clueless Americans who think those groups really love our form of government and are not just money grubbing fancy luncheon-providing social climbers, really worse than the Commies. \u00a0 Participants at a Maine Heritage luncheon, which Sam attended in order to try to get the true story out regarding what had happened (Maine and the national press boycotted the story), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rense.com\/general96\/us_maine.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">told Sam to &#8220;shut up and sit down&#8221;<\/a>.\u00a0 Do those people represent true conservatism, telling a U.S. combat marine in Gulf War I to &#8220;shut up and sit down&#8221;? Maine Heritage Denies Sam Iserbyt Right To Speak<\/p>\n<p>I \u00a0believe I recall Whitaker Chambers, author of \u201cWitness\u201d regarding the Alger Hiss, communist spy case,\u00a0 saying words to the effect\u00a0 &#8220;the saddest day of my life was the day I left the communist party since I knew I was leaving the winning side.&#8221;\u00a0 How right he was.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s take a look at the list of speakers at Edward Griffin&#8217;s Red Pill conference. \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p><strong>Larry Pratt, Gun Owners of America<\/strong><br \/>\nGun Owners of America<br \/>\nLarry Pratt\u00a0is the Executive Director Emeritus of Gun Owners of America.

He is a policy advisor to The Heartland Institute.<\/p>\n<p>(See below regarding Heartland and Dr. Duke Pesta\u2019s connection with Heartland Institute.)<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>Tom DeWeese<\/strong><br \/>\nFounder and CEO of American Policy Center (anti-Agenda21)<br \/>\nTom DeWeese is one of the nation\u2019s leading advocates of individual liberty, free\u00a0enterprise, private property rights, personal privacy, back-to-basics education and American sovereignty and independence.\u00a0 He is the founder and CEO of the American Policy Institute.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nDeWeese bought a couple copies of my &#8220;deliberate dumbing down of America&#8221; book in 1999, and that was the end of his so-called interest in the above \u201cback-to-basics education\u201d.\u00a0 Did he ever read my Back to Basics Reform or OBE Skinnerian International Curriculum? (necessary for U.S. participation in a One World Socialist Government scheduled for the early years of the 21st Century) written in\u00a01985 and boycotted by ALL conservative groups in the USA?.\u00a0 He certainly never ordered, from me, at least, either of those books. <strong>Realizing\u00a0that his main issue is unelected boards taking over local control\u00a0through regionalism to implement Agenda 21\/2030, certainly he must be aware that those issues are\u00a0also tied into the school and policing systems I\u00a0have described\u00a0above?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2028<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>Patrick Wood<\/strong><br \/>\nAuthor, Researcher (anti-Agenda21)<br \/>\nPatrick Wood is a leading and critical expert on Sustainable Development, Green Economy, Agenda 21, 2030 Agenda and historic Technocracy.

Edward Griffin, both formerly close to Antony Sutton, rarely, if ever, discuss Sutton\u2019s seminal research on U.S. aid to Hitler and to the Soviet Union, AND especially on Sutton\u2019s research on how The Order of Skull and Bones at Yale University was the primary instigator of the deliberate dumbing down of Amerian education? \u2028<br \/>\n\u2028<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>Dr. Duke Pesta<\/strong><br \/>\nProfessor, University of Wisconsin<br \/>\nDr. Duke Pesta is a renowned expert on education and Common Core, and is\u00a0 a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin.

Berry, assistant secretary in the U.S. Office of Education (1977), regarding Chinese education. The following excerpts from Morris\u2019s report are too important to leave out of this book: (Note that Morris\u2019s article was written in 1979, repeat 1979!)<\/p>\n<p>Red China has eliminated testing and grades. The U.S. is rapidly going the same route. Testing is being downgraded and scoffed at, and grades, where they do exist are just about meaningless. For the Red Chinese, according to Ms. Berry, truth is a relative concept. In the U.S. schools students are taught the same thing in \u201cvalues clarification.\u201d It\u2019s called situational ethics and it means it\u2019s okay to lie or cheat or steal or kill when it suits your purpose.<\/p>\n<p>In Red China, according to Ms. Berry, education must serve the masses. Ditto the U.S. Only the semantics are different here. In the U.S. education is not designed for the benefit of individuals, but for society. \u201cSociety\u201d or \u201cmasses\u201d\u2014what\u2019s the difference?<\/p>\n<p>In Red China, according to Ms. Berry, education must be combined with productive<br \/>\nlabor and starts at six years of age, with children working at least one hour a day producing voice boxes for dolls. At the middle school level, children make auto parts as part of the school day. We are not at this low level, but Secretary Berry frankly admits, \u201cWe will draw on the Chinese model&#8230;\u201d We are fast approaching the Chinese model. We have work\/study programs and the U.S. Office of Education is working on development of Lifelong Learning programs\u2014another Chinese import. Such programs will enable people to work and study their entire lives for the benefit of the state. Ms. Berry admitted U.S. Lifelong Learning programs are indeed drawn on the Chinese experience, that such programs are expected to meet \u201cneeds for intellectual fulfillment and social growth. It is here that the Chinese have set the pattern for the world to follow, and it is here that American higher education may have its last, best opportunity for growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Secretary Berry lamented that the U.S. is only slowly moving into Lifelong Learning, but that \u201cThe community college system with its non-conventional enrollment, is one harbinger of change. The traditional extension program is another&#8230; But we have to go beyond them and bring four year institutions and secondary institutions, as well as private instructional facilities into the Lifelong Learning movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Berry is not talking about the future when she recommends radical proposals for<br \/>\nU.S. education. A meeting of the National Council for the Social Studies, held in Cincinnati last November, featured several presentations on Communist Chinese education as a model for U.S. education. In one such presentation, teachers learned how the Red Chinese educational system \u201cis related to achievement of national goals and citizenship preparation&#8230; how cultural activities and recreational pastimes provide a vehicle for transmitting new social values.\u201d Does this help you understand why U.S. schools usually list \u201cworthy use of leisure\u201d or \u201ccitizenship education\u201d as a goal of education?<br \/>\n\u2028<br \/>\n<strong>Jeanette Finicum<\/strong><br \/>\nGrass-roots activist, widow of the late LaVoy Finicum.<br \/>\nAs we mentioned above, Jeanette Finicum is the widow-turned-activist of the late LaVoy Finicum who was killed in 2016 by Federal and State troopers in Oregon. She is locked in a heated legal battle with the government to defend our liberty and to hold responsible parties accountable.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nI respect Jeanette Finicum and grieve with her over the loss of her husband.\u00a0 I am also pleased that the neoconservatives have chosen to\u00a0 support her in her legal battle with the government to defend our liberty and to hold responsible parties accountable.\u00a0 This is the kind of support my son Sam and I expected to get from conservative organizations\u00a0 related to a very similar situation in which my son fortunately was brought back to life, but has been damaged for life, and which relates 100% to his 2nd Amendment constitutional right to life and to bear arms. The intruder is fortunate indeed that Sam chose not to shoot him in self-defense prior to such a murderous attack.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, the story of Jeannette\u2019s murdered husband, Lavoy, has been put into a movie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Movie \u201cLAVOY\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nRed Pill Expo announced that there will be a \u00a0&#8220;world premier showing&#8221; of a movie, &#8220;Lavoy&#8221;.

These rip-off groups collected a lot of money from a lot of gullible people, while the original movement did not, and still does not, collect money or promote candidates. The original movement started because activists (mostly Ron Paul supporters) did not like the fact that the 2008 presidential primary candidates were NOT talking about important issues including those outlined above.

Iserbyt am thoroughly disgusted with the neoconservatives, including President Trump, \u00a0who let this happen.\u00a0 Their role in this unconstitutional activity is equal to the \u00a0role of those who have been planning the globalist agenda since 1945 and before. Their lack of opposition to the education restructuring freight train, which left the station when President Ronald Reagan was elected and took orders from the Heritage Foundation, were essential for this final blow to our capitalist economic system: freedom for the individual to pursue education to suit his\/her purposes in the future.\u00a0 I cannot think of one single formerly true conservative group\u00a0 leader that does not have blood on his\/her hands regarding this treason.\u00a0\u00a0 (BTW, not speaking out is equal to participation.) Had the neocons fought as hard as about 500 (400\u00a0 no longer with us)\u00a0 who have been opposing this communist agenda since pre-World War II and creation of UN, this could not have happened.\u00a0 The left and right are joined at the hip and always have been.\u00a0 The late Erica Carle\u00a0 wrote an article entitled \u201cThe Chamber of Commerce: Its Power and Goals\u201d (December, 1983):\u00a0 She  outlined\u00a0the agenda for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as follows:\r\n\u00a0\r\nTaken from the \u201cdeliberate dumbing down of america\u201d, page\u00a0 34 (excerpt):\r\n\r\nUnited Nations Charter became effective on October 24, 1945. Playing an important role in the creation of the United Nations was the United States Chamber of Commerce. Two slogans were popularized in order to gain backing for Chamber leadership:\u201cWorld peace through world trade\u201d and \u201cMore business in government and less government in business.\u201d\u2028\r\n\r\n\r\nThe following are some of the measures the Chamber of Commerce has supported:\u2028\r\n\r\n1. Creation of the United Nations\r\n2. Creation of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.\u2028\r\n3. Regional Government or \u201cNew Federalism\u201d\u2028\r\n4. Medicare (Commercialization of medical professions)\r\n5. Postal reorganization.\u2028\r\n6. Organized Crime Control Act\r\n7. Contracting for school services with private industry\r\n8. Voucher system for education\r\n9. Management and human relations techniques for handling personnel in industry.\u2028\r\n10. Health care planning councils\r\n11. Prepaid medical practice (HMOs)\r\n12. Federal land use planning.\r\n13. Federally-imposed career education\r\n14. Equal Rights Amendment\r\n15. Cross-town busing for desegregation\r\n\r\nNow we can just add the <a href=\"https:\/\/cops.usdoj.gov\/Default.asp?Item=2558\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Community Oriented Policing System (C.O.P.S)<\/a> system to the mix, since it was spawned by regional government and is already in our towns, cities, and the schools (school resource officers).\u00a0 No one would listen to me when I tried to, from my son Sam's and my first-hand experience, explain the role of the COPS group in Portland, repeating a murderer\u2019s\u00a0 lie that Sam, a U.S. Marine combat vet in Gulf War I, \u201chad shot himself in the leg\u201d . The unelected COPS group published the lying version on the Internet two weeks prior to the Portland Police Dept\u2019s excellent report, containing numerous eye witness statements, etc. which referred to Sam as \u201cvictim\u201d and murderer \u201cas suspect\u201d of \u201celevated aggravated assault.\u201d\r\n\u00a0\r\nAnd, not one of so-called conservative groups in the nation\u00a0or media picked up on the story, although many of them were informed.\u00a0 The only one that would touch the \u201cfor some reason \u2018hot potato\u2019 story\u201d was Jeff Rense at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rense.com\/general96\/hurley1.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rense.com<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhy are the following\u00a0 four important issues,\u00a0taking place as I write,\u00a0NOT included in the\u00a0Red Pill Expo agenda?\r\n\u00a0\r\n(1)\u00a0tax-funded school choice\/charters with unelected boards required for implementation of Soviet workforce training, which represents not only denial of\u00a0 freedom to choose one's vocation (future), but\u00a0 end of our representative form of government through end of voting;\r\n\r\n(2) role of behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner in lifelong education and training (known as community re-education) mainly due to corporate need for\u00a0 creation of the \"perfect worker\" aka New Soviet Man;\r\n\r\n(3) Community Oriented Policing System (modeled on East German STASI) which will place the police, now being trained in Israel, to run and control our towns and cities through communist Total Quality Management techniques. \u00a0The late B.F.\u00a0Skinner would have loved the COPS\u00a0program since it uses the Skinnerian\u00a0method of rewarding citizens who do good deeds, good deeds determined by the unelected police.\u00a0COPS is a result of public\/private partnership carved in stone during President Reagan's White House Private Sector Initiative\r\n\r\n(4)\u00a0\u00a0White House proposal to merge Depts. of Labor and Education into one agency as centerpiece of federal government overhaul, as mentioned at the beginning of this piece. \u201cThe plan to consolidate the Labor and Education departments, which first surfaced in Education Week and was later confirmed by other news outlets, would allow the Trump administration to focus its efforts to train students in vocational skills in one place.\u201d\r\n\u00a0\r\nThe importance of the above four issues takes precedence over any of the issues on the agenda at the Red Pill Conference which will lure innocent\/good Americans into efforts, the majority of which, at this particularly crucial time in our nation\u2019s history, are not as important as issues dealing with (1)\u00a0 COPS (E. German STASI) program; (2) Communist\/fascist merger of education with labor (school to work); approval of Skinnerian\/Pavlovian animal training method for workforce training and behavior\/value change; and (4)\u00a0approval of tax-funded school choice\/charters:\u00a0end of representative government?\u00a0 I am truly amazed that not one of those issues was directly addressed at the Red Pill Conference.\r\n\r\nI suppose one could accuse me of being a real PILL for critiquing what I am sure very good conservatives believe is a conference dedicated to sincere education of an army of people so they can take back their country.\r\n\u00a0\r\nFor those who have accused me of being a PILL, yes, I agree that I am being a PILL, so\u00a0 please accept my apology and know that I\u00a0 mean no one harm.\r\n\u00a0\r\nI only fear what is coming down the pike for future generations if good Americans do NOT understand how they are being intentionally or unintentionally diverted,\u00a0 perhaps by very well meaning people, from focusing on the primary issues outlined in this article.\r\n\r\n<strong>About G. Edward Griffin\u2019s \u201cRED PILL EXPO\u201d<\/strong>\r\n\r\nRed Pill Expo of Ed Griffin's rightfully includes Lavoy Finicum's wife speaking on behalf of her husband who is no longer able to speak regarding the tragic shooting incident that took his life, and what lead up to it. But the question I have to ask is, why have they not invited my son Sam as well, who miraculously survived a shooting through the femoral artery and was meant to be dead (no vitals upon arrival at hospital, hypovolemic shock stage 4!) He is alive to speak about how his attempted murder was carefully planned,\u00a0how he miraculously\u00a0 survived, and is now able to tell the nation all about what is going on right now on the ground, through the Community Oriented Policing System, UN Agenda Smart Cities, STASI-type control of our cities.\u00a0 Sam could have spoken from first-hand experience. \u00a0Or, if Sam didn\u2019t feel up to it, I could have spoken since I know the tragic story all too well, from A-Z.\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\nTwo days after Sam's attempted murder we called noted Attorney Jerry Spence\u2019s office in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for legal representation.\u00a0 His office lead us to believe it was very interested in the case, but the next day they called and told us they were sorry they were too busy with local cases and couldn't deal with something so far away in Maine.\u00a0 I sent info out to the NRA, GOA, Judicial Watch, Rutherford Institute  \u2014\u00a0 all the big groups that rake in dues from clueless Americans who think those groups really love our form of government and are not just money grubbing fancy luncheon-providing social climbers, really worse than the Commies. \u00a0 Participants at a Maine Heritage luncheon, which Sam attended in order to try to get the true story out regarding what had happened (Maine and the national press boycotted the story), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rense.com\/general96\/us_maine.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">told Sam to \"shut up and sit down\"<\/a>.\u00a0 Do those people represent true conservatism, telling a U.S. combat marine in Gulf War I to \"shut up and sit down\"? Maine Heritage Denies Sam Iserbyt Right To Speak\r\n\r\nI \u00a0believe I recall Whitaker Chambers, author of \u201cWitness\u201d regarding the Alger Hiss, communist spy case,\u00a0 saying words to the effect\u00a0 \"the saddest day of my life was the day I left the communist party since I knew I was leaving the winning side.\"\u00a0 How right he was.\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\nNow, let\u2019s take a look at the list of speakers at Edward Griffin's Red Pill conference. \u00a0 \r\n\r\n<strong>Larry Pratt, Gun Owners of America<\/strong>\r\nGun Owners of America\r\nLarry Pratt\u00a0is the Executive Director Emeritus of Gun Owners of America. GOA is a national grassroots organization representing more than 1.5 million Americans dedicated to promoting their Second Amendment freedom to keep and bear arms.\u201d\r\n\u00a0\r\nLarry Pratt is evidently \u201cout to lunch\u201d.\u00a0 I sent him info regarding Sam\u2019s second attempted murder and fact murderer came on his property with a gun, shot Sam, left him to bleed out, and was released that very\u00a0 night, and has never been arrested or charged. Sam, although he was armed, did not shoot the guy, although he had every right to do so.\r\n\r\nWhy did Larry Pratt not respond to our need for help?\u00a0\u00a0I hope the reader of this missive, if he\/she is a member of GOA, will ask Larry Pratt why he did not respond to Sam\u2019s request for GOA support on a very important 2nd Amendment issue.\r\n\u00a0\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rense.com\/general96\/hurley1.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. & Maine Constitutions Dead In Maine<\/a>\r\n\u00a0\r\nBe sure to click on the audio link under the photo of Sam\u2019s bloody jeans for a taped conversation between policemen which took place during the first of two attempts to murder Sam.\u00a0 Yes, folks, there were two attempts.\u00a0 The District Attorney provided Sam with police audio by mistake!\r\n\r\nWhy did Pratt not respond to my need for help?\u00a0\u00a0Is Pratt going to tell you the Second Amendment is dead on Main Street, USA?\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>G. Edward Griffin<\/strong>\r\nFounder, Freedom Force International\r\nG. Edward Griffin is the author of The Creature from Jekyll Island; A Second Look at The Federal Reserve and World without Cancer; The Story of Vitamin B17. He is Founder of Freedom Force International and Chairman of The Red Pill Expo.\r\n\u00a0\r\nWhy does Ed Griffin no longer list as one of his (Ed\u2019s) greatest accomplishments\/contributions to Americans\u2019 understanding of \u201cwhat happened\u201d which turned the tide towards communism:\u00a0 his world famous interview\u00a0 with the late Norman Dodd, Investigator, 1953 Congressional Investigation of the Tax-Exempt Foundations, who was told by Rowan Gaither, the President of the Ford Foundation that the foundations (Carnegie, Ford, Rockefeller, et al) got their instructions from the White House to use their tax-exempt status to bring about a merger between the United States and the Soviet Union?\u00a0 I, Charlotte, knew Norman Dodd.\u00a0 Dodd was shocked when we told him that President Reagan, in 1985, had signed education, cultural, and other municipal, etc. agreements with President Gorbachev of the USSR, and that the Carnegie Corporation had signed agreements with the Soviet Academy of Science to work with young children in the development of computerized critical thinking education.\u00a0\r\n.\r\n\u2028\r\n<strong>Lord Christopher Monckton<\/strong>\r\nInternationally known expert on climate change (anti-Agenda21)\r\nChristopher Monckton, Third Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, has held positions with the British press and in government, as a press officer at the Conservative Central Office, and as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher\u2019s policy advisor. He is a policy advisor to The Heartland Institute.\r\n \r\n(See below regarding Heartland and Dr. Duke Pesta\u2019s connection with Heartland Institute.)\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n<strong>Tom DeWeese<\/strong>\r\nFounder and CEO of American Policy Center (anti-Agenda21)\r\nTom DeWeese is one of the nation\u2019s leading advocates of individual liberty, free\u00a0enterprise, private property rights, personal privacy, back-to-basics education and American sovereignty and independence.\u00a0 He is the founder and CEO of the American Policy Institute.\r\n\u00a0\r\nDeWeese bought a couple copies of my \"deliberate dumbing down of America\" book in 1999, and that was the end of his so-called interest in the above \u201cback-to-basics education\u201d.\u00a0 Did he ever read my Back to Basics Reform or OBE Skinnerian International Curriculum? (necessary for U.S. participation in a One World Socialist Government scheduled for the early years of the 21st Century) written in\u00a01985 and boycotted by ALL conservative groups in the USA?.\u00a0 He certainly never ordered, from me, at least, either of those books. <strong>Realizing\u00a0that his main issue is unelected boards taking over local control\u00a0through regionalism to implement Agenda 21\/2030, certainly he must be aware that those issues are\u00a0also tied into the school and policing systems I\u00a0have described\u00a0above?<\/strong>\r\n\u2028\r\n\u00a0\r\n<strong>Patrick Wood<\/strong>\r\nAuthor, Researcher (anti-Agenda21)\r\nPatrick Wood is a leading and critical expert on Sustainable Development, Green Economy, Agenda 21, 2030 Agenda and historic Technocracy. He is the author of Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation (2015) and co-author of Trilaterals Over Washington, Volumes I and II (1978-1980) with the late Antony C. Sutton.\r\n\u00a0\r\nWhy do Patrick Wood and G. Edward Griffin, both formerly close to Antony Sutton, rarely, if ever, discuss Sutton\u2019s seminal research on U.S. aid to Hitler and to the Soviet Union, AND especially on Sutton\u2019s research on how The Order of Skull and Bones at Yale University was the primary instigator of the deliberate dumbing down of Amerian education? \u2028\r\n\u2028\r\n\u00a0\r\n<strong>Dr. Duke Pesta<\/strong>\r\nProfessor, University of Wisconsin\r\nDr. Duke Pesta is a renowned expert on education and Common Core, and is\u00a0 a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin. He also serves as a policy advisor on education with The Heartland Institute.\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\nHow can any true blue patriot conservative and so-called education researcher\/writer have anything to do with The Heartland Institute, which supports tax-funded school choice\/charters with unelected boards, and whose leadership includes Joseph Bass and Professor Walberg (highly acclaimed by UNESCO as a leading psychologist) who jointly wrote the book entitled \u201cRewards\u201d which recommends the use of Skinnerian behavior modification methods to teach children academics, correct their old-fashioned values, \u00a0and implement workforce training? <strong>While Pesta is well aware of the dangers of Common Core, he apparently has not yet realized the dangers of tax-funded school choice\/charters.<\/strong>\r\n\u00a0\r\n<strong>\r\nDr. Charles Lee<\/strong>\r\nPolitical prisoner in China\r\nDr. Charles Lee is one of the few political prisoners tortured in Chinese prisons who survived to tell about it. He was born and raised in China.\r\n\u00a0\r\nI would really like to hear Dr. Lee\u2019s presentation.\u00a0 <strong>Does he realize that the Chinese lifelong education and workforce training agenda is being implemented in the USA as I write and has been in the works certainly since the 1970s?<\/strong>\u00a0Wouldn\u2019t he be a great candidate to give such a speech?\r\n\u00a0\r\nThe \"deliberate dumbing down of America\", page 149:\r\n \u00a0\r\n\r\n<strong>IN THE AUGUST 1978 ISSUE OF THE NATIONAL EDUCATOR<\/strong>,  Barbara Morris, Editor of \"The Barbara Morris Report\" and author of many books related to education including her most recent book, \"The Great American Con Game\", reported on a speech given at the University of Illinois by Mary F. Berry, assistant secretary in the U.S. Office of Education (1977), regarding Chinese education. The following excerpts from Morris\u2019s report are too important to leave out of this book: (Note that Morris\u2019s article was written in 1979, repeat 1979!)\r\n\r\nRed China has eliminated testing and grades. The U.S. is rapidly going the same route. Testing is being downgraded and scoffed at, and grades, where they do exist are just about meaningless. For the Red Chinese, according to Ms. Berry, truth is a relative concept. In the U.S. schools students are taught the same thing in \u201cvalues clarification.\u201d It\u2019s called situational ethics and it means it\u2019s okay to lie or cheat or steal or kill when it suits your purpose.\r\n\r\nIn Red China, according to Ms. Berry, education must serve the masses. Ditto the U.S. Only the semantics are different here. In the U.S. education is not designed for the benefit of individuals, but for society. \u201cSociety\u201d or \u201cmasses\u201d\u2014what\u2019s the difference?\r\n\r\nIn Red China, according to Ms. Berry, education must be combined with productive\r\nlabor and starts at six years of age, with children working at least one hour a day producing voice boxes for dolls. At the middle school level, children make auto parts as part of the school day. We are not at this low level, but Secretary Berry frankly admits, \u201cWe will draw on the Chinese model...\u201d We are fast approaching the Chinese model. We have work\/study programs and the U.S. Office of Education is working on development of Lifelong Learning programs\u2014another Chinese import. Such programs will enable people to work and study their entire lives for the benefit of the state. Ms. Berry admitted U.S. Lifelong Learning programs are indeed drawn on the Chinese experience, that such programs are expected to meet \u201cneeds for intellectual fulfillment and social growth. It is here that the Chinese have set the pattern for the world to follow, and it is here that American higher education may have its last, best opportunity for growth.\u201d\r\n\r\nSecretary Berry lamented that the U.S. is only slowly moving into Lifelong Learning, but that \u201cThe community college system with its non-conventional enrollment, is one harbinger of change. The traditional extension program is another... But we have to go beyond them and bring four year institutions and secondary institutions, as well as private instructional facilities into the Lifelong Learning movement.\u201d\r\n\r\nMs. Berry is not talking about the future when she recommends radical proposals for\r\nU.S. education. A meeting of the National Council for the Social Studies, held in Cincinnati last November, featured several presentations on Communist Chinese education as a model for U.S. education. In one such presentation, teachers learned how the Red Chinese educational system \u201cis related to achievement of national goals and citizenship preparation... how cultural activities and recreational pastimes provide a vehicle for transmitting new social values.\u201d Does this help you understand why U.S. schools usually list \u201cworthy use of leisure\u201d or \u201ccitizenship education\u201d as a goal of education?\r\n\u2028\r\n<strong>Jeanette Finicum<\/strong>\r\nGrass-roots activist, widow of the late LaVoy Finicum.\r\nAs we mentioned above, Jeanette Finicum is the widow-turned-activist of the late LaVoy Finicum who was killed in 2016 by Federal and State troopers in Oregon. She is locked in a heated legal battle with the government to defend our liberty and to hold responsible parties accountable.\r\n\u00a0\r\nI respect Jeanette Finicum and grieve with her over the loss of her husband.\u00a0 I am also pleased that the neoconservatives have chosen to\u00a0 support her in her legal battle with the government to defend our liberty and to hold responsible parties accountable.\u00a0 This is the kind of support my son Sam and I expected to get from conservative organizations\u00a0 related to a very similar situation in which my son fortunately was brought back to life, but has been damaged for life, and which relates 100% to his 2nd Amendment constitutional right to life and to bear arms. The intruder is fortunate indeed that Sam chose not to shoot him in self-defense prior to such a murderous attack.\r\n\r\nAnd finally, the story of Jeannette\u2019s murdered husband, Lavoy, has been put into a movie.\r\n\r\n<strong>Movie \u201cLAVOY\u201d<\/strong>\r\nRed Pill Expo announced that there will be a \u00a0\"world premier showing\" of a movie, \"Lavoy\". This movie was produced by The Center for Self-Governance. Use of the term \"self-governance\" is a dead tip-off to some that this is a globalist group, not a patriot group.\r\n\r\nThe founder and current head of <a href=\"https:\/\/selfgovern.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Citizens for Self-Governance<\/a> is\u00a0 none other than Attorney Mark Meckler, co-founder of the Texas Tea Party, which he claims was the 1st Tea Party in the U.S.  It was NOT, and in fact, in addition to several other fake tea parties that popped up under the control of the GOP, it was created TWO YEARS LATER in 2009 by a bunch of fundraising operatives who stole the name from the libertarian movement which activists in NH and Massachusetts had started in 2007 at Fanueil Hall, Boston. These rip-off groups collected a lot of money from a lot of gullible people, while the original movement did not, and still does not, collect money or promote candidates. The original movement started because activists (mostly Ron Paul supporters) did not like the fact that the 2008 presidential primary candidates were NOT talking about important issues including those outlined above.
