Lew pivots the American Tyranny series to a discussion of public education with Alex Newman, Sr. Editor of The New American magazine, host of The Sentinel Report on Liberty News Radio, and top-notch researcher on all topics related to American tyranny. His most recent work is Indoctrinating Our Children To Death: Government Schools’ War on Faith, Family, and Freedom--- and How To Stop It.
Newman’s thesis is that public education was actually founded with three specific goals: 1) to subvert liberty and focus students on their relationship to the State; 2) Replace Christianity and encourage degenerate behavior; and 3) Destroy literacy. Each of these goals are major contributors to our tyrannical march toward Total Government. Every issue facing us today, whether it is moral decline, cultural distortion, the alien invasion, or all the efforts to centralize power in fewer hands is related to the indoctrination of our children in the schools.
Alex also discusses home schooling alternatives and the large support network that is now out there for parents willing to make that decision.
In the 2nd segment, Lew discusses “revolution within the form” in the light of the celebration surrounding the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. He also reads the Declaration and asks the audience where we stand today in relation to the tyrannical behavior of the British King that was called out in the document.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 - Look around you.
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06 - Wrong rules the land while waiting justice sleeps.
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08 - I saw in the congress
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10 - and crossing the country,
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12 - campaigning with Ron Paul.
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13 - Tyranny
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14 - rising,
00:00:15 --> 00:00:15 - unspeakable
00:00:16 --> 00:00:16 - evil,
00:00:17 --> 00:00:17 - manifesting,
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21 - devils lying about our heritage who want to
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23 - enslave and replace us.
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25 - But we are Americans
00:00:26 --> 00:00:26 - with a manifest destiny to bring the
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42 - because this is the Hour of Decision.
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48 - Hour of Decision with Lou Moore starts now.
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51 - And now I'd like to welcome Alex Newman
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54 - to Hour of Decision. Alex, thanks for joining
00:00:54 --> 00:00:54 - me today.
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 - Alex is also a host on Liberty News
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59 - Radio, the Sentinel Report, and,
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 - he covers a lot of very interesting topics,
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05 - folks, and he's knowledgeable
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08 - in so many areas. But, Alex, thank you
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11 - today for, willing your willingness to participate
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15 - in our American tyranny series because one of
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17 - the most important issues in my opinion,
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20 - looking at the tyranny that's come over us
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22 - over the last hundred years, is education.
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25 - And you've got a new book out. It's
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25 - fantastic,
00:01:26 --> 00:01:26 - folks.
00:01:27 --> 00:01:27 - Indoctrinating
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 - our children to death.
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33 - Certainly descriptive. And what I like about this
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34 - book, Alex,
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36 - is that you can pick it up and
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37 - get a concise
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41 - snippet of all of the most important topics
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44 - that I'm aware of on this subject. But,
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46 - anyway, why don't you go ahead and give
00:01:46 --> 00:01:46 - us some background,
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50 - about the topic, about this book, and I'll
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52 - let you go ahead. Well, thank you, Louis.
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53 - Great to be with you. Appreciate you having
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54 - me on the program. And
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57 - it it was about 2010
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00 - where I really started digging into education and
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02 - realized very quickly that this was actually the
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04 - most important issue. And people are always surprised
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05 - when you say that. Wait. What do you
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07 - mean the border? The gun rights? Free speech?
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10 - Abortion? Yeah. That's not the but the reality
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11 - is all those other issues are important, but
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13 - education is the one that transcends them all.
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15 - The reason we have commies winning elections in
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18 - Colorado and New York, the reason we have,
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20 - riots in our streets, the reason we had
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22 - the COVID tyranny, the Black Lives Matter,
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24 - absurdity where they're burning down our cities and
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26 - law enforcement is taking these. The reason, the
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29 - national debt all of this runs right through
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30 - the indoctrination
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32 - of multiple generations of Americans.
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35 - So, as I started digging into this, in
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36 - 2010,
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38 - I came to learn about common core,
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40 - started learning more and more about and so
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42 - out of eight books that I've written, three
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43 - of them have to do with education. I
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45 - did indoctrinating our children to death, as you
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47 - mentioned. I did crimes of the educators,
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49 - back in 2014
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51 - with doctor Samuel Blumenfeld, and then I also
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52 - did awoken weaponized,
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54 - how Karl Marx won the battle for American
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55 - education and how we could take it back
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58 - with Robert Bortons, the CEO of Classical Conversations.
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00 - That's the the biggest homeschool program in the
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02 - world. And, the reason I have spent so
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04 - much of my time and effort on this
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06 - is because this is the one issue where
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08 - if we don't get it right, we're gonna
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10 - lose on all those other issues that I
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12 - mentioned. The the government will keep stealing our
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15 - freedom. They'll keep surrendering our independence to globalist
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16 - institutions, and
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18 - the civilization
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21 - that our ancestors, in many cases, sacrificed their
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24 - lives for will be gone. So, what happened,
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27 - right around the early eighteen hundreds is a
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28 - a group of utopians,
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31 - who really did not like the American system,
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32 - who did not like Christianity,
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34 - who did not like the concepts that we
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36 - have of god given rights and individual liberties,
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38 - decided that they were gonna overturn that. And
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40 - they figured out that the best way to
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41 - do that would be to work through so
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43 - called education. So they had they started a
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45 - movement to have the government take over education.
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48 - Obviously, they've been very, very successful. Today, the
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51 - norm is government educates your children for you,
00:03:51 --> 00:03:51 - allegedly.
00:03:52 --> 00:03:52 - Right?
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54 - The government itself will tell you less than
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56 - one in three can They're doing a great
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58 - job, Alex. They're just doing a fabulous job.
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00 - I'm sorry. Go ahead. Oh, it it's a
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02 - dumpster fire, Lou. And, and you don't have
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03 - to believe us. I mean, just the government
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05 - does it every two years, the National Assessment
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07 - of Educational Progress. They will tell you less
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09 - than one in three victims of the government
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11 - school system. I mean, these are kids who've
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14 - spent, you know, eight, ten, twelve years in
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15 - these camps,
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18 - allegedly learning something. Less than one in three
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19 - even score proficient
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22 - on the standardized academic test that the federal
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23 - government did, which are, by the way, are
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24 - unbelievably
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26 - easy. Like, you would be appalled if you
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29 - understood what they meant by proficiency, and not
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31 - even one in three of the victims of
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33 - these institutions are proficient.
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36 - So the the the the it's, it it's
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38 - just critical that people understand this. So that's
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39 - why I have worked so hard on this.
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40 - I do think that if we don't deal
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43 - with this, we're gonna lose everything. Yeah. So,
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45 - I have a little prop I've used for
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47 - years. Well, I actually used it with my
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48 - kids.
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51 - It's the sixth McGuffey reader.
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53 - Oh, I love it. This is the sixth
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56 - McGuffey reader. This is back mid eighteen hundreds.
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59 - This is just what Alex is talking about,
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01 - how far we slip. Folks, this is a
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02 - college
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05 - level book today, and many people who have
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07 - graduated from college
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09 - would have a hard time mastering the material
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11 - in this sixth
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12 - grade
00:05:12 --> 00:05:12 - text.
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14 - Alex, you wanna comment on that as we
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16 - as we talk about the the background, the
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17 - history of this?
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20 - Yeah. I I have collected all the McGuffey
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22 - readers, and I've I've been collecting old educational
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24 - resources, going all the way back to the
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26 - pilgrims. Right? Going all the way back to
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29 - the sixteen hundreds. I love looking at how
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32 - our ancestors used to learn. It's it's glorious.
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33 - Right? I mean, you go back to the
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35 - earliest stuff that we had, the the, New
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37 - England Primer, which was ultimately supplanted by the
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40 - blueback speller created by Noah Webster. Like, not
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41 - only are the kids learning their letters and
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43 - the sound of the letters so they can
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45 - read properly, they're also learning their theology.
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47 - You know, you look, for example, you got
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49 - a. Right? The kids are supposed to learn
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50 - a, and then you got the little description,
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53 - a, in Adam's fall, we sinned all. They
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55 - got b, thy life to mend this book.
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57 - You know, there was a Bible, attend.
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00 - So it's just fascinating these old resources, and
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03 - I think, Americans would be shocked to understand
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06 - we have this really, really silly idea that
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09 - we are smarter than than our ancestors, that
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11 - we know more than them. Nothing could be
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13 - further from the truth. So I love going
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15 - back at the to those resources. One of
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16 - the things that we did in,
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19 - Woke and Weaponize, we actually republished
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22 - an old test. This was a an eighth
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24 - grade test out of the schools in Kansas
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25 - from about a 100 ago. And by the
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27 - way, this is after the government already taken
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28 - over education, so this wasn't,
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31 - our our best by any means. But I
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34 - would challenge people with college degrees to do
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36 - that test. You'll find out very quickly that
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38 - your ancestors knew a whole lot more than
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40 - you did. Yeah. So it's important that we
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42 - not lose that. I've got an incredible library,
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43 - and I would encourage people to spend some
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46 - time on this. Well, you have six kids.
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47 - Am I do I have that right? And
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49 - are are they all in the public school
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50 - system?
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52 - I do have I I have my wife
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54 - and I have been blessed with, six wonderful
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56 - children so far, and then we hope that
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57 - the Lord will send us more.
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00 - Children really are a blessing. Right? Psalm one
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01 - twenty seven.
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04 - But, no. I I wouldn't dream of letting
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06 - them go to the government schools. I mean,
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07 - you could put a gun to my head,
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08 - and I'd say shoot me before I would
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10 - allow you to take my children to a
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12 - government school. And then I'm not even exaggerating
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15 - or or using hyperbole. Under no circumstances would
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17 - I allow my children to set foot in
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19 - one of these indoctrination camps, because I love
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21 - them, because I want them to learn, because
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23 - I want them to get a real education,
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26 - because I don't want them indoctrinated with all
00:07:26 --> 00:07:26 - the the
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28 - absurdity. I don't want them dumbed down. So,
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31 - we we actually use classical conversations. We we
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33 - are members of a local homeschool coop here
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35 - as well, and, we use a variety of
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37 - resources. But, you know, one of the things
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38 - that we really focus on
00:07:39 --> 00:07:39 - is
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42 - true education. Right? For hundreds of years in
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45 - this country, the Bible was the primary resource
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46 - that was used in education.
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49 - And the Bible gives you the foundational elements
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50 - of a real education. So the fear of
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52 - the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53 - fear of the Lord is the beginning of
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55 - knowledge. So the the rest of it comes
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56 - naturally. You know, if you're teaching your children
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57 - to read the Bible, they'll be able to
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59 - read anything. If you're teaching your children to
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01 - understand the Bible, they'll be able to understand
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02 - anything. And,
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05 - yeah, it's I I tell people, treat the
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07 - government school building like it's on fire.
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09 - Right? If the building is on fire and
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11 - your children are inside, you don't think about
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13 - what you're gonna tell the school board. You
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15 - don't worry about signing a petition. You don't
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17 - wonder what you're gonna do if you have
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18 - them at home for five days a week.
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20 - You get them out of the burning building
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22 - like their life depends on it, because it
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24 - does. And I would say this is actually
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25 - far more urgent than a burning building because
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27 - a burning building is only gonna hurt you
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29 - physically. What we're talking about here is the
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32 - utter destruction of our young people mentally, physically,
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34 - morally, spiritually, academically.
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37 - It's an emergency, and and we need to
00:08:37 --> 00:08:37 - treat it as such.
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40 - Absolutely. So so we've kind of focused,
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43 - at the beginning here, Alex, on the competency
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47 - that has been lost, the the actual educational
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48 - competency.
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50 - But now you've gotten brought in a couple
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52 - of other areas, Christianity,
00:08:53 --> 00:08:53 - the moral
00:08:54 --> 00:08:54 - backdrop
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57 - of, our understanding of of the only way
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00 - a free society can operate with with that
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03 - moral framework that comes from Jesus Christ and
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04 - from the Bible.
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06 - And and then the idea the other one
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07 - idea, I just wanna make sure we get
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09 - into this. Going all the way back as
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11 - you point out to Horace Mann, how many
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13 - schools in America are named after him,
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16 - that he flipped the whole paradigm that this
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18 - was all about the state.
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22 - It wasn't about you and your children.
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24 - It was about the children
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27 - looking to the state and being educated in
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29 - the way the state wants. So if we
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31 - could talk about those two things a little
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34 - bit. Yeah. I'd I'd love to. So the
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35 - history of how the government came to take
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37 - over the education system is one of the
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40 - most important histories around, and, unfortunately, it's also
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42 - one of the least known. It's it's truly
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44 - a tragedy. So the first guy that seriously
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46 - proposed that the government ought to be educating
00:09:46 --> 00:09:46 - children
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48 - was a weirdo,
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49 - literally a communist,
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53 - by by the name of Robert Owen. He
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54 - was very prominent in his day. There was
00:09:54 --> 00:09:58 - always, like, Owenite societies across America, little, utopians,
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00 - and he believed so fervently in his ideas
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02 - that he set up a communist commune. He
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04 - told his commune that his mission in life
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06 - was to destroy what he called the trinity
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08 - of the most monstrous evils.
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09 - This trinity was,
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12 - marriage and family was one element of this
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13 - trinity.
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16 - Private property, the institution of private property,
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18 - which he regarded as evil. He thought we
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20 - should have collective ownership of the means of
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22 - production. This is before Karl Marx, by the
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24 - way. And then the last element of the
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26 - trinity was irrational systems of religion by which
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29 - in particular he meant Christianity, the Bible, the
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31 - biblical understanding of the world. That was his
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33 - goal in life, and he said so publicly.
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35 - And he realized that Americans were not gonna
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37 - go for this. In fact, his dumb commune
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39 - fell apart in less than two years. So
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41 - he launched a secret society, and we know
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43 - because a whistleblower eventually defected from his weirdo
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45 - little group. His name was Orisis Brownson. He
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47 - became a Roman Catholic and said, guys, this
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49 - is terrible. There's a secret society plotting to
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51 - have the government take over education. You won't
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52 - believe the stuff that they believe.
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55 - And and so he said, actually, the great
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57 - object was not to create well educated children.
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59 - He said the great object of the secret
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00 - society was to get the government in charge
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03 - of education so that they could destroy Christianity.
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05 - Those are his words. So he could destroy
00:11:06 --> 00:11:06 - Christianity.
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09 - That was the objective. So this is the
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11 - system that took root in Prussia. And Robert
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12 - Owen talks about how that happened. The Prussian
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14 - ambassador, Baron Jacoby,
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16 - actually got a hold of these weird essays
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17 - he was writing, took them back to the
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20 - dictator of Prussia. The dictator in Prussia, Frederick
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21 - William the third,
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24 - so much approved of these ideas that he
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26 - ordered the system to be constructed in Prussia.
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28 - He went around telling other European monarchs to
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30 - try to do this in their realms. And,
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32 - eventually, Horace Mann, who you just mentioned, there
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35 - are hundreds of, schools across America named after
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37 - Horace Mann, took these ideas. He actually studied
00:11:37 --> 00:11:40 - the Prussian system. And in his defense, he
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41 - was a bad guy, but in his defense,
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42 - he said, you know, yes. The Prussian system
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44 - is a brutal dictatorship. They're using this to
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46 - brainwash the kids to be, you know, obedient
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48 - little collective as zombies to to fight the
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50 - wars and whatever. But he said, hey. If
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52 - if a dictatorship can use this kind of
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53 - system for bad purposes,
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56 - we could use it for good purposes. And
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58 - so he gets himself selected as the first
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00 - ever secretary of education for any state. We
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01 - had never had that anywhere,
00:12:02 --> 00:12:02 - in Massachusetts,
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06 - and he imports the Prussian system into Massachusetts.
00:12:06 --> 00:12:10 - By 1852, they've passed the first compulsory education
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11 - law coercing
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13 - parents to send their children to this system.
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15 - And as soon as he's done messing up
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17 - Massachusetts, he goes out on the road like
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19 - a traveling evangelist preaching the good news of
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21 - salvation by government school. So, it's it's a
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24 - horror show from start to finish, and, and
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26 - and that really is the genesis of government
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27 - schools. And to go back to Robert Owen
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28 - for just a moment,
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31 - the guy who inspired this whole process, he
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33 - admitted, just a few months before he died,
00:12:33 --> 00:12:36 - he convened a conference in 1857
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37 - called the Congress of the Advanced Minds of
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39 - the World, and he said that he was
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42 - getting his ideas from conversations he was having
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44 - with his spirit friends. He said he was
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46 - using a Ouija board and and communicating them
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48 - with them, with through taps on furniture and
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51 - taps on the wall to find the superior
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54 - wisdom allegedly from these spiritual entities he was
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55 - talking to. And, of course, I'm a grandeur
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57 - by I just gotta interrupt you. Yeah. You're
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00 - kind of amazing on this. There was all
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02 - this reporting about black lives matter. And if
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04 - I'm correct, you're the one that came up
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06 - with the fact that they were talking to
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08 - spirits in some of their meetings.
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10 - Yep. And and we're just a video. Panic
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11 - to the core.
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12 - Anyway, we'll just interrupt.
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14 - Well, thank you, Lou. I appreciate you pointing
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16 - that out. This this is a long unbroken
00:13:16 --> 00:13:20 - thread of this interaction with the spiritual realm.
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21 - And, for those who haven't been in their
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23 - old testament lately, you know, go check out
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26 - Leviticus, go check out, Deuteronomy. Right? God actually
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28 - calls these things an abomination.
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31 - It was a capital offense in old testament.
00:13:31 --> 00:13:32 - Israel repeatedly,
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34 - God's people are warned that these alleged spirits
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36 - of dead people or whatever are actually demons.
00:13:38 --> 00:13:38 - And so,
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41 - god takes it very seriously. Actually, in, in
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43 - Deuteronomy, he puts this in the same category
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45 - as sacrificing your children to idols.
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47 - So very, very serious.
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50 - And, when you look all the way back
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51 - to Robert Owen,
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53 - Horace Mann's wife was part of the Transcendentalist
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55 - Club. They were communicating with spirits. You know,
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57 - you fast forward all the way to the
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59 - present day. Everybody's heard of social emotional learning.
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01 - Right? Social emotional learning, all the rage right
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03 - now. The NEA says it's the beating heartbeat
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05 - of what happens in the classroom. The leading
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07 - luminary of this movement, her name is Linda
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09 - Lanteri. She's a professor of education
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12 - at Teachers College at Columbia University, which is
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14 - where John Dewey was posted up.
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16 - She admits I've got her on video admitting
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19 - that she's getting her ideas from her communications
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20 - with her friend, who she said, I hate
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21 - to say she's passed
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24 - because I talk to her every night. So
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26 - let's just say she's in another dimension. Right?
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28 - So they don't realize. And I'll give you
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30 - one more, Lou. This is, hard to believe,
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31 - but anybody can verify this on their own.
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34 - The UN has what they call the World
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35 - Core Curriculum.
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37 - It was developed by a guy called Robert
00:14:37 --> 00:14:40 - Mueller. He was the assistant secretary general of
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41 - the United Nations,
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43 - very weird individual.
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45 - And, he wrote this World Core curriculum. He
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47 - said it should be taught to every child
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49 - in every school in every country on planet
00:14:49 --> 00:14:52 - Earth. And in the forward of the teacher's
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53 - manual for the World Core curriculum, which I
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55 - have, they've they've tried to disappear all these
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57 - copies because it's just so blatant. He admits
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59 - that the ideas
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01 - for all of this, that the whole global
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03 - system they're building
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05 - comes from, he says, the teachings
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07 - of Alice Bailey
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10 - and the Tibetan teacher, Javal Kool. Well, that's
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12 - not gonna mean much to most Americans, and
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13 - they know that, but I'll give you some
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15 - hints about what we're talking about here. Alice
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17 - Bailey was the founder of the Lucifer
00:15:18 --> 00:15:18 - Publishing
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21 - Company. It's still around today. It's called the
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23 - Lucius Trust. They renamed it because I think
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25 - Lucifer Publishing turned off a few people. I
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26 - can't imagine why.
00:15:26 --> 00:15:30 - Yeah. Believe that. Right. And this ascended mass
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33 - this, Tibetan teacher, Javal Kul, Alice Bailey claimed
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36 - to be channeling spiritual entities she referred to
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37 - as ascended masters.
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40 - The chief of these was Javal Kul. And
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41 - so he's not Tibetan, and he's not a
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43 - teacher, and he's not even a human being.
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46 - It's a spiritual entity. So the whole global
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48 - educational system that the UN is trying to
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49 - foist on humanity by the admission
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52 - of its creator is based on the teachings
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54 - of a woman who founded the Lucifer publishing
00:15:54 --> 00:15:58 - company and was channeling demonic spirits. Yeah. Absolutely.
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01 - Alex, our time's limited today. I wanna make
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03 - sure we get up into the time period
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05 - that, this audience, the people that are,
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08 - listening week after week or watching are are
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10 - following it. You know, we talk a lot
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12 - about the Fabian Society, all the things that
00:16:12 --> 00:16:15 - happened at Harvard, turn of the century, and,
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17 - of course, pretty quickly, we get to John
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18 - Dewey.
00:16:18 --> 00:16:21 - And you zero in on him very effectively
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23 - in this book. So can can we kinda
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25 - fast forward a little bit just for the
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26 - time that we have,
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29 - to to continue this story of the state
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32 - control of schools and all of these terrible
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33 - consequences
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35 - that they designed for our children?
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39 - Yeah. So, John Dewey is probably the single
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42 - most important individual in trying to understand American
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45 - education today. He's often called, along with Horace
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47 - Mann, the father of American public education. Oh,
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49 - yeah. And and I think that's a well
00:16:49 --> 00:16:52 - deserved title. I mean, he really took what
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54 - Horace Mann laid down. So Horace Mann was
00:16:54 --> 00:16:54 - the one
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57 - who got the ball rolling on having the
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59 - government take over education and on having,
00:17:00 --> 00:17:03 - the Bible kind of at least sidelined. They
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04 - they couldn't get it out completely, although Horace
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05 - Mann wanted that.
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07 - And and he's the one who led the
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10 - way in various states getting compulsory education laws
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12 - passed. So Horace Mann laid the foundation,
00:17:12 --> 00:17:15 - and then along comes John Dewey. Right around
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16 - the turn of the century, he gets a
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18 - huge amount of money from the Rockefeller
00:17:19 --> 00:17:23 - dynasty, of course. John d Rockefeller gets $3
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25 - to start an experimental school at the University
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26 - of Chicago.
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29 - And, they basically graduate a bunch of children
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31 - who cannot read, who cannot write, who cannot
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32 - do math, who cannot tell right from wrong,
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34 - and they both say to themselves, this will
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37 - be perfect. It's exactly what we need. Right?
00:17:38 --> 00:17:41 - So, his goal was to fundamentally transform side.
00:17:41 --> 00:17:42 - And I've got his book, so you can
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44 - read them. They're absolutely crazy.
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48 - He openly declared that his goal was to
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50 - use education as a means to an end.
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52 - And he actually went to the Soviet Union.
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54 - He was very fond of their educational system.
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55 - He was very fond of the system. And
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56 - you don't have to take my word for
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58 - it. You can read what he himself had
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59 - to say. He published a whole series of
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01 - articles on his trip to The Soviet Union
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03 - in the New Republic, a radical left wing
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05 - magazine. So people can go read those.
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07 - It's insane.
00:18:07 --> 00:18:10 - The guy's, like, practically worshiping this murderous anti
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12 - Christian system of organized savagery and barbarism,
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15 - and he wants that for America. But his
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17 - chief difference of opinion is that they used
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19 - violent revolution. He thinks a a smarter way
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21 - to do this would be a
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24 - gradual acclimating through the education system.
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26 - So he writes these essays about, you know,
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28 - how we're gonna use education to instill in
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30 - children a collectivistic mentality.
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32 - And, and,
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34 - I mean, you you you could say so
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35 - much about John Dewey.
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37 - He was a communist in the truest sense
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38 - of the term, but I I wanna just
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40 - mention one thing that I think people really
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42 - need to understand about him other than his
00:18:42 --> 00:18:45 - his crazy pedagogy and his ridiculous political beliefs.
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48 - He was a religious man, but not in
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50 - the way that a normal person would understand.
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52 - He and his friends actually got together and,
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54 - announced that they were starting a new religion.
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57 - They released a religious manifesto. They called it
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00 - the humanist manifesto. And you can still read
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02 - it. Go to Google. Type in humanist manifesto.
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04 - Now it's humanist manifesto one because their ideological
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07 - descendants have released a few updated editions. But
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09 - just read the thing. Right? The the first
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11 - tenet is, we religious humanists regard the universe
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14 - as self existing and not created,
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16 - which, you know, it's fine. It's free country.
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17 - You believe whatever dumb thing you want. You
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18 - know, whatever.
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19 - But compare that with the first words in
00:19:19 --> 00:19:22 - scripture. Right? In the beginning, god created the
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23 - heavens and the earth. So right off the
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25 - bat, they're telling you our religion is not
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26 - compatible
00:19:26 --> 00:19:26 - with,
00:19:27 --> 00:19:30 - biblical religion, with Christianity, with Judaism, with with
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32 - really any theistic religion.
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33 - And then,
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35 - they basically outline a program for communism. We
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36 - gotta have collective ownership of the means of
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38 - production. We gotta get rid of the profit
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40 - motive as the incentive for working in the
00:19:40 --> 00:19:40 - economy.
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43 - They talk about how we have to understand
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45 - that evolution is the basis of life. There
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47 - is no god. And and regardless of where
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49 - people are in their in their faith journey,
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51 - you know, with their religious views,
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53 - I want you to think as as we're
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55 - here thinking about the two hundred fiftieth celebration
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56 - of our country's independence,
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59 - what did our founding fathers say? First of
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00 - all, they didn't think you had to study
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02 - your Bible to realize this. They said it
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04 - was a self evident truth that god created
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06 - us, that he created us equally, and also
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10 - that he endowed us with certain unalienable rights,
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11 - the right to life, the right to liberty,
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13 - the right to property, the right to pursue
00:20:13 --> 00:20:13 - happiness.
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16 - Well, what happens if you embrace John Dewey's
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17 - false religion? Well,
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20 - there's no god, so how in the world
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21 - can you come up with the idea that
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23 - you have god given rights? So even if
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25 - you ignore the theological
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27 - implications of this false religion from hell, and
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29 - it is from hell, you have to consider
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32 - the political implications too. You cannot have god
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35 - given rights and a free society under the
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37 - religion that John Dewey and his friends invented.
00:20:37 --> 00:20:38 - Now one of the guys who signed the
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39 - humanist manifesto,
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42 - Potter Stewart,
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44 - he actually wrote a book called Humanism, a
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47 - New Religion, and he said we're gonna use
00:20:47 --> 00:20:47 - the schools
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50 - to spread our new religion. And he laughed
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51 - at churches. He said, what are you gonna
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53 - do with one hour a week with the
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55 - children at Sunday school when we've got them
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57 - for five hours a or for five days
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59 - a week for humanistic teachings? And it was
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01 - a rhetorical question. The answer is the question
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02 - nothing. So, they understood.
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05 - The Supreme Court kind of institutionalized that, established
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07 - that in nineteen sixty two, sixty three where
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09 - they put the last nails in the coffin.
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11 - They kicked out the Bible. They kicked out
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13 - prayer. And, hey. The rest is history. Right?
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14 - By its fruit, you shall know it. What
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16 - has been the fruit of this system? Well,
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18 - our society is collapsing all around us.
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20 - Yeah. So yeah.
00:21:21 --> 00:21:25 - Absolutely. Absolutely, Alex. So we're talking about,
00:21:26 --> 00:21:29 - public education to subvert liberty, have the government
00:21:30 --> 00:21:33 - have it all geared toward the government, have
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35 - it controlled by the government, the curriculum,
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37 - replace Christianity.
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39 - And these are two of the chapters that
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41 - you had that came particularly
00:21:42 --> 00:21:42 - associated with,
00:21:43 --> 00:21:43 - Dewey.
00:21:44 --> 00:21:47 - And then destroy literacy, which is kinda where
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49 - we started. Do you is there anything else
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51 - you wanna say about that? Because, you know,
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53 - Thomas Jefferson, I I mean, it's just common
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56 - sense. You can't have liberty. You can't have
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58 - an informed electorate. You can't have
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00 - responsible citizens
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03 - if they don't know anything
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05 - about their own past,
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06 - about,
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09 - about how this country is supposed to work,
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11 - about the constitution, about all these things.
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14 - Yeah. I I believe you can prove that
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17 - John Dewey and his allies deliberately set out
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20 - to destroy literacy in The United States. I
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22 - I actually think it goes back to 1647
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24 - when the first education law in North America
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26 - was passed. It was called the old deluder
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28 - Satan act. And, what the pilgrims in the
00:22:28 --> 00:22:31 - Massachusetts Bay Colony said in this statute was
00:22:31 --> 00:22:32 - that everyone in this colony must learn how
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34 - to read because one of the chief projects
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36 - of that Old Deluder Satan is to keep
00:22:36 --> 00:22:39 - men from knowledge of the scriptures. Therefore, parents
00:22:39 --> 00:22:39 - must
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42 - teach their children how to read. And just
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43 - to make sure that nobody falls through the
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44 - cracks, I said if you're in a town
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46 - of a 100 or more households,
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48 - that town must appoint a person to go
00:22:48 --> 00:22:51 - make sure that every child has been taught
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53 - to read by his or her parents because
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54 - otherwise, Satan will deceive you because you can't
00:22:54 --> 00:22:56 - read your Bible. And so you look at
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58 - John Dewey, the evidence is overwhelming that this
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00 - was deliberate. He wrote an essay in 1898.
00:23:00 --> 00:23:03 - It was actually so significant. We republished it
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05 - as an appendix in crimes of the educators
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06 - where he says,
00:23:06 --> 00:23:07 - you know, we really don't need to be
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09 - teaching these little kids how to read and
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11 - write and do math. He said, what they
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13 - really need is to be good little collectivists.
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15 - We need to get them used to the
00:23:15 --> 00:23:18 - idea of, you know, subordinating their own interest
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20 - to the interest of the whole, the society,
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22 - of the collective. And so I think John
00:23:22 --> 00:23:23 - Rockefeller
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25 - teamed up with John d. I think they
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27 - ultimately had very different visions for society. John
00:23:27 --> 00:23:30 - d Rockefeller wanted kinda like a neo serfdom,
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32 - right, where the the super capitalists would just
00:23:32 --> 00:23:35 - have endless legions of dumbed down worker drones
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37 - to, you know, do whatever in the factory.
00:23:37 --> 00:23:38 - I think
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40 - in his defense, John Dewey was probably more
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42 - of a utopian. He thought if we just
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44 - had communism, it'd just be like this wonderful
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45 - society.
00:23:46 --> 00:23:47 - But I think they worked well together because
00:23:47 --> 00:23:48 - their objective
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51 - both would be both of their objectives would
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53 - be easier to accomplish if you had an
00:23:53 --> 00:23:56 - illiterate society that could not read the bible,
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58 - that could not read the constitution, that could
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01 - not read history books and theology.
00:24:02 --> 00:24:04 - So it's, it it's very sad, but I
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06 - think it's really important for people to understand
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08 - this was deliberate. Right? The federal government in
00:24:08 --> 00:24:11 - 1992 did a literacy survey, and they found
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13 - that 50% of adults were in the bottom
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15 - two of five categories when it comes to
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17 - reading. In other words, half of American adults
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19 - in the early nineties were functionally illiterate.
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22 - Today, my guess is it's probably even worse,
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25 - and and I believe with every fiber of
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27 - my being that this was deliberately
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30 - engineered. They wanted us illiterate.
00:24:31 --> 00:24:31 - And, Alex,
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34 - you know, as so many can, I I
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36 - was an adjunct, professor for a couple of
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38 - years, '92 through '94
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40 - in Washington State,
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42 - and I was
00:24:43 --> 00:24:43 - absolutely
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45 - blown away? I mean, I was very familiar
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47 - with this material even back then. I knew
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48 - what was happening.
00:24:49 --> 00:24:50 - You fill in a lot of blanks on
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52 - that, but I I knew this story. But
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54 - I was still just stunned
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57 - at people at a university that had to
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58 - have a 3.5
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00 - grade average to get into this university.
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03 - That was what they were bragging about at
00:25:03 --> 00:25:06 - that time. That could not write a sentence.
00:25:07 --> 00:25:10 - That thought we were allied with Hitler and
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11 - World War two.
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13 - I mean, the craziest stuff in the world
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15 - as far as the facts, and then no
00:25:15 --> 00:25:15 - skills
00:25:16 --> 00:25:19 - no skills to even correct those things.
00:25:19 --> 00:25:20 - Unbelievable.
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22 - Yeah. Unbelievable. It it really is. And and
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24 - people need to know this stuff. I mean,
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26 - it's just it's so sad the level of
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28 - ignorance that we have where people just don't
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30 - know any of this.
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32 - So so we got a lot of villains
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34 - here, Alex, and we're also starting to run
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36 - out of time. And, I appreciate the time
00:25:36 --> 00:25:36 - you've,
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39 - given us today, but, you know, the Frankfurt
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41 - School is involved with this,
00:25:42 --> 00:25:43 - cultural Marxism,
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44 - all the degeneracy,
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46 - the l
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48 - g b t q I,
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51 - etcetera. You cover that. Talk about the relationship
00:25:52 --> 00:25:52 - to totalitarianism.
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54 - Matter of fact, do you wanna touch on
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56 - that one for a minute? That's an interesting
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57 - juxtaposition
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59 - is the sexual degeneracy
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01 - and totalitarianism.
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03 - Yeah. I I think it's actually such an
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05 - important issue that we have two chapters in
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08 - indoctrinating our children to death on why they're
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10 - sexualizing the children.
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12 - This has nothing to do with, quote, unquote,
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14 - safe sex. This has nothing to do with
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16 - preventing pregnancy or STDs.
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18 - It has everything to do with fomenting and
00:26:18 --> 00:26:19 - advancing the revolution.
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21 - They understood that if they could break down
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23 - children's moral values, if they could turn your
00:26:23 --> 00:26:27 - children promiscuous and get them fornicating before marriage,
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28 - get them,
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30 - involved in,
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32 - things where they reject the concept of right
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34 - and wrong, where they reject the concept of
00:26:34 --> 00:26:37 - divine and moral laws, that it would be
00:26:37 --> 00:26:38 - much easier
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40 - to break up the family. And if you
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42 - could break up the family, you interrupt the
00:26:42 --> 00:26:45 - transmission belt through which values and religion and
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47 - culture and ideas are passed from one generation
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49 - to the next. And their thinking was if
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51 - we can destroy the family, we would basically
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53 - have a bunch of little blank slates that
00:26:53 --> 00:26:55 - we could write on through our government schools.
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57 - That was always the objective, and it's very
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59 - easy to show because the people who did
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01 - this wrote about why they were doing it.
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03 - In fact, the first real experiment we had
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05 - with, raunchy sex ed in a government school
00:27:05 --> 00:27:05 - was in,
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07 - early nineteen hundreds
00:27:08 --> 00:27:08 - in,
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11 - communist controlled Hungary under the Bela Kun regime.
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14 - The deputy minister of culture and education, Georgi
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16 - Lukacs, who eventually went on to help found
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18 - the Frankfurt School in Frankfurt,
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20 - was doing raunchy puppet shows where the little
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22 - puppets were having sex to try to get
00:27:22 --> 00:27:26 - children to believe that sex was not something
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28 - that belonged within the confines of marriage, that
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30 - sex was not something that god,
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32 - instituted for the benefit of man and for
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33 - his own glory, but rather that it was
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35 - just this thing that anybody could engage in
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37 - any time. There was no morality attached to
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39 - it. And the specific reason he did that,
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41 - he said, was to undermine the family. So
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43 - So that's what they've been doing. They've been
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45 - obviously very, very successful at it, and we
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46 - need to stop them from doing this to
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47 - our own children.
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49 - No. Absolutely. Totally.
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53 - Another topic just briefly because we've been discussing
00:27:53 --> 00:27:56 - this in other context. We had, Pat Wood
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58 - was here last week talking about,
00:27:59 --> 00:28:00 - Technocracy
00:28:00 --> 00:28:03 - and the tech bros. You bring up this
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05 - whole big data spying on the kids, which
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07 - is something some of us have seen some
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09 - news articles on. Can you hit that one
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11 - just real quick as well, Alex?
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14 - Well, they actually are bragging now, the government
00:28:14 --> 00:28:17 - schools, that they are using all sorts of
00:28:17 --> 00:28:18 - tools and programs
00:28:19 --> 00:28:19 - and hardware
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23 - to gather hundreds of data points on every
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24 - single child.
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27 - Everything from their mental health to their dental
00:28:27 --> 00:28:30 - health to their well-being to how does dad
00:28:30 --> 00:28:33 - talk to mom to your facial expressions when
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35 - you're exposed to new stimuli.
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37 - And and they're bragging about this. Right? And
00:28:37 --> 00:28:38 - they're feeding it through algorithms. They're feeding it
00:28:38 --> 00:28:41 - through artificial intelligence, not just to build incredibly
00:28:41 --> 00:28:44 - detailed profiles on your children, but also they
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46 - say in their own documents, going back fifteen
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48 - years now I've got from the Department of
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50 - Education, they're gonna use this to predict
00:28:50 --> 00:28:54 - the future behaviors and attitudes and outcomes of
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56 - your children, and then they're going to try
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57 - to centrally plan. Well, this one will be
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59 - good for this job. This one will be
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01 - good for this job. This one must absolutely
00:29:01 --> 00:29:02 - not be allowed to be in a position
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04 - of influence. He can't teach. He can't practice
00:29:04 --> 00:29:06 - law. He can't, you know, be in journalism
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07 - or whatever.
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09 - So they're they're doing all of this. And
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11 - one of the key things to understand, and
00:29:11 --> 00:29:12 - I think this is where a lot of
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13 - people don't realize what all this data is
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14 - for,
00:29:14 --> 00:29:18 - not just to understand, not just to predict,
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19 - it's also to manipulate.
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22 - The more they know about the thought process
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24 - of your children, the more they're able to
00:29:24 --> 00:29:24 - manipulate
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26 - the thought process of your children. And they
00:29:26 --> 00:29:27 - tell you this is what they're doing. They
00:29:27 --> 00:29:30 - call it the effective domain. Right? The thoughts,
00:29:30 --> 00:29:33 - attitudes, values, beliefs, worldview
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36 - of your children. That's what's in the crosshairs
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38 - now. That's why they're harvesting all this data
00:29:38 --> 00:29:39 - from your kids.
00:29:39 --> 00:29:40 - Holy smokes.
00:29:41 --> 00:29:41 - So,
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44 - Alex, we should leave on a
00:29:44 --> 00:29:47 - higher note than some of the content here
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49 - today. I've just had a a a train
00:29:49 --> 00:29:52 - of bearers of bad news helping me with
00:29:52 --> 00:29:52 - this series.
00:29:53 --> 00:29:53 - But,
00:29:54 --> 00:29:57 - you've been involved very proactively with homeschooling,
00:29:58 --> 00:30:01 - and, I I want you to talk,
00:30:01 --> 00:30:04 - speak to that. Both to people who are
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06 - doing it now, who might be struggling with
00:30:06 --> 00:30:09 - it, and and and folks who, maybe their
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10 - grandparents or parents,
00:30:12 --> 00:30:12 - themselves
00:30:13 --> 00:30:14 - that are deliberating,
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16 - and they don't have the confidence or worried
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18 - they don't have the time.
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19 - They're stuck in this,
00:30:20 --> 00:30:23 - economic system that that we've ended up with
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24 - where the two
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25 - well, parents are working.
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28 - Can you just speak to that whole topic
00:30:28 --> 00:30:29 - just for a little bit to close this
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30 - out?
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32 - Yeah. If I could give one recommendation
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35 - for everyday Americans on what you can do
00:30:35 --> 00:30:38 - to help preserve our civilization, save liberty for
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40 - future generations, get your children out of the
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42 - government school system, and educate them at home.
00:30:43 --> 00:30:44 - You know, get yourself informed on all these
00:30:44 --> 00:30:47 - issues. Right? Get get whatever resources you need
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49 - for that. We can help. You know, I
00:30:49 --> 00:30:52 - I lead as a volunteer. I'm executive director
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54 - of a ministry called Public School Exit. People
00:30:54 --> 00:30:55 - can find out at publicschoolexit.com.
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57 - Everything you could ever need or want to
00:30:57 --> 00:30:59 - get your children out of the system, it's
00:30:59 --> 00:31:00 - right there. I serve on the board of
00:31:00 --> 00:31:03 - the Freedom Project Academy. It's a wonderful online
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05 - k through 12 classical Christian school for people
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06 - who want a little bit more help. I
00:31:06 --> 00:31:08 - serve as a fellow at classical conversations, which
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10 - is where I have my own children enrolled.
00:31:10 --> 00:31:12 - It's a it's a national actually, an international
00:31:12 --> 00:31:15 - homeschool program with, over a 150
00:31:15 --> 00:31:18 - students. So, homeschooling from for me has been
00:31:18 --> 00:31:19 - one of the best choices, one of the
00:31:19 --> 00:31:22 - best decisions we ever made. And, parents and
00:31:22 --> 00:31:23 - and grandparents, you could play a big role
00:31:23 --> 00:31:24 - here too.
00:31:24 --> 00:31:27 - I really encourage you to prayerfully consider it.
00:31:27 --> 00:31:29 - It'll be, I guarantee you, one of the
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31 - best decisions you'll make in your life.
00:31:32 --> 00:31:36 - Alex Newman, you are a national treasure yourself.
00:31:37 --> 00:31:39 - I'm so grateful you took some time,
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41 - with us today. I'm hoping maybe to get
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43 - you back. I understand you might have another
00:31:43 --> 00:31:44 - book out in a few months
00:31:44 --> 00:31:47 - talking about the spiritual foundations of our culture,
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50 - which is the most important topic. But, Alex,
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53 - congratulate you on this book that's come out,
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55 - and we'll we'll be plugging that.
00:31:55 --> 00:31:57 - And thank you so much. Thank you, Lou.
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59 - I really appreciate it. God bless you, sir.
00:31:59 --> 00:32:00 - Take care.
00:32:00 --> 00:32:03 - And now I wanna turn our attention to
00:32:03 --> 00:32:03 - the
00:32:04 --> 00:32:07 - fourth of July celebration this year, the two
00:32:07 --> 00:32:09 - hundred and fiftieth
00:32:10 --> 00:32:13 - anniversary of the signing of the declaration of
00:32:13 --> 00:32:13 - independence
00:32:14 --> 00:32:18 - on 07/04/1776.
00:32:19 --> 00:32:22 - And we yes. We should celebrate
00:32:23 --> 00:32:24 - the form
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26 - of our country,
00:32:27 --> 00:32:29 - our independent nation. The form of it has
00:32:29 --> 00:32:29 - survived.
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32 - And in some ways, our independence
00:32:33 --> 00:32:34 - has survived.
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37 - In other ways, it's been compromised.
00:32:41 --> 00:32:44 - And it's been compromised because there's been a
00:32:44 --> 00:32:44 - revolution
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48 - within the form. I've talked to you about
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50 - this before. I've talked to you specifically about
00:32:50 --> 00:32:52 - a monograph that was
00:32:52 --> 00:32:54 - written by a man named Garrett Garrett, the
00:32:54 --> 00:32:57 - editor of the Saturday Evening Post, the most
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59 - popular magazine in The United States
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02 - at the time he wrote this, '8 or
00:33:02 --> 00:33:05 - in '19, excuse me, 1944.
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08 - And he said the following
00:33:10 --> 00:33:11 - about the state of the nation
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14 - in 1944.
00:33:15 --> 00:33:17 - There are those who still think they are
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18 - holding pass
00:33:19 --> 00:33:20 - against a revolution
00:33:21 --> 00:33:22 - that may be coming
00:33:22 --> 00:33:25 - down the road, but they are gazing in
00:33:25 --> 00:33:27 - the wrong direction.
00:33:28 --> 00:33:28 - The revolution
00:33:29 --> 00:33:30 - is behind them.
00:33:31 --> 00:33:33 - It went by in the night of depression,
00:33:34 --> 00:33:36 - singing songs of freedom.
00:33:37 --> 00:33:39 - There are those who have never ceased to
00:33:39 --> 00:33:40 - say
00:33:40 --> 00:33:41 - very earnestly
00:33:42 --> 00:33:44 - that, quote, something is going to happen to
00:33:44 --> 00:33:46 - the American form of government
00:33:46 --> 00:33:48 - if we don't watch out,
00:33:48 --> 00:33:49 - unquote.
00:33:50 --> 00:33:51 - These were the innocent
00:33:52 --> 00:33:53 - disarmers.
00:33:54 --> 00:33:55 - Their trust
00:33:55 --> 00:33:56 - was in words.
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59 - They had forgotten their Aristotle.
00:34:00 --> 00:34:03 - More than two thousand years ago, he wrote
00:34:03 --> 00:34:04 - of what can happen
00:34:04 --> 00:34:05 - within
00:34:06 --> 00:34:06 - the form
00:34:07 --> 00:34:10 - when, quote, one thing takes the place
00:34:11 --> 00:34:11 - of another
00:34:12 --> 00:34:14 - so that the ancient laws will remain
00:34:15 --> 00:34:17 - while the power will be in the hands
00:34:17 --> 00:34:19 - of those who have brought about
00:34:20 --> 00:34:20 - revolution
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23 - in the state.
00:34:24 --> 00:34:26 - And to a great degree, folks,
00:34:27 --> 00:34:29 - that's the situation we're in.
00:34:31 --> 00:34:33 - That is the situation we're in. But I
00:34:33 --> 00:34:33 - still
00:34:34 --> 00:34:34 - celebrate
00:34:36 --> 00:34:38 - two hundred and fifty years since
00:34:39 --> 00:34:40 - our ancestors
00:34:41 --> 00:34:44 - signed the declaration of independence, and I think
00:34:44 --> 00:34:45 - rather than
00:34:46 --> 00:34:49 - going hip hip hooray for America, isn't everything
00:34:49 --> 00:34:51 - great? Let's go to the fair.
00:34:51 --> 00:34:52 - I think maybe
00:34:53 --> 00:34:54 - we should read
00:34:55 --> 00:34:56 - what our ancestors
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57 - wrote
00:34:58 --> 00:35:00 - in the declaration of independence,
00:35:01 --> 00:35:03 - which is now what I'm going to do.
00:35:05 --> 00:35:06 - The declaration
00:35:06 --> 00:35:07 - of independence
00:35:08 --> 00:35:12 - signed 07/04/1776.
00:35:12 --> 00:35:13 - When
00:35:14 --> 00:35:16 - in the course of human events,
00:35:17 --> 00:35:18 - it becomes necessary
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20 - for one people
00:35:20 --> 00:35:23 - to dissolve the political bands which have connected
00:35:23 --> 00:35:24 - them with another
00:35:24 --> 00:35:25 - and to assume
00:35:26 --> 00:35:28 - among the powers of the earth,
00:35:28 --> 00:35:30 - the separate and equal station
00:35:31 --> 00:35:32 - to which the laws of nature
00:35:33 --> 00:35:36 - and of nature's god entitled them,
00:35:37 --> 00:35:40 - a decent respect to the opinions of mankind
00:35:40 --> 00:35:41 - requires
00:35:41 --> 00:35:42 - that they should declare
00:35:43 --> 00:35:46 - the causes which impel them to the separation.
00:35:48 --> 00:35:51 - We hold these truths to be self evident,
00:35:51 --> 00:35:54 - that all men are created equal,
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57 - that they are endowed by their creator with
00:35:57 --> 00:35:59 - certain inalienable rights,
00:36:00 --> 00:36:02 - that among these are life,
00:36:02 --> 00:36:03 - liberty,
00:36:03 --> 00:36:05 - and the pursuit of happiness,
00:36:06 --> 00:36:08 - that to secure these rights,
00:36:09 --> 00:36:10 - governments are instituted
00:36:11 --> 00:36:12 - among men,
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14 - deriving their just powers
00:36:15 --> 00:36:16 - from the consent
00:36:18 --> 00:36:19 - of the governed.
00:36:20 --> 00:36:21 - That whenever
00:36:21 --> 00:36:22 - any
00:36:22 --> 00:36:26 - form of government becomes destructive of these ends,
00:36:26 --> 00:36:28 - it is the right of the people
00:36:29 --> 00:36:31 - to alter or abolish it
00:36:32 --> 00:36:34 - and to institute new government,
00:36:35 --> 00:36:36 - laying its foundation
00:36:37 --> 00:36:38 - on such principles
00:36:39 --> 00:36:40 - and organizing
00:36:40 --> 00:36:42 - its powers in such form
00:36:43 --> 00:36:46 - as to them shall seem most likely
00:36:47 --> 00:36:48 - to affect their safety
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50 - and happiness.
00:36:51 --> 00:36:54 - Prudence indeed will dictate that governments
00:36:54 --> 00:36:55 - long established
00:36:56 --> 00:37:00 - should not be changed for light and transient
00:37:00 --> 00:37:01 - causes.
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03 - And accordingly,
00:37:04 --> 00:37:06 - all experience has shown
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08 - that mankind
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10 - are more disposed to suffer
00:37:11 --> 00:37:12 - while evils are sufferable
00:37:13 --> 00:37:16 - than to right themselves by abolishing the forms
00:37:16 --> 00:37:18 - to which they are accustomed.
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21 - But
00:37:21 --> 00:37:25 - when a long train of abuses and usurpations,
00:37:26 --> 00:37:27 - pursuing invariably
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29 - the same object,
00:37:30 --> 00:37:33 - invinces a design to reduce them under
00:37:34 --> 00:37:35 - absolute despotism,
00:37:37 --> 00:37:38 - it is their right.
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40 - It is their duty
00:37:40 --> 00:37:42 - to throw off such government
00:37:43 --> 00:37:44 - and to provide
00:37:44 --> 00:37:45 - new guards
00:37:45 --> 00:37:46 - for their future
00:37:47 --> 00:37:47 - safety.
00:37:50 --> 00:37:52 - Such has been the patient sufferance
00:37:52 --> 00:37:53 - of these colonies,
00:37:54 --> 00:37:57 - and such is now the necessity
00:37:57 --> 00:38:01 - which constrains them to alter their former
00:38:01 --> 00:38:02 - systems
00:38:02 --> 00:38:03 - of government.
00:38:04 --> 00:38:07 - The history of the present king of Great
00:38:07 --> 00:38:08 - Britain
00:38:08 --> 00:38:10 - is a history of repeated
00:38:10 --> 00:38:12 - injuries and usurpations,
00:38:13 --> 00:38:15 - all having indirect object
00:38:16 --> 00:38:17 - the establishment
00:38:17 --> 00:38:19 - of an absolute tyranny
00:38:20 --> 00:38:21 - over these
00:38:21 --> 00:38:22 - states.
00:38:23 --> 00:38:25 - To prove this, let facts be submitted
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27 - to a candid world.
00:38:28 --> 00:38:31 - He has refused his ascent to laws,
00:38:32 --> 00:38:33 - the most wholesome and necessary
00:38:34 --> 00:38:36 - for the public good.
00:38:36 --> 00:38:39 - He has forbidden his governors to pass laws
00:38:39 --> 00:38:41 - of immediate and pressing importance
00:38:42 --> 00:38:44 - unless suspended in their operation
00:38:45 --> 00:38:47 - till his ascent should be obtained.
00:38:48 --> 00:38:49 - And when so suspended,
00:38:50 --> 00:38:51 - he has utterly
00:38:52 --> 00:38:52 - neglected
00:38:53 --> 00:38:54 - to attend to them.
00:38:56 --> 00:38:59 - He has refused to pass other laws for
00:38:59 --> 00:39:00 - the accommodations
00:39:00 --> 00:39:02 - of large districts of people unless
00:39:03 --> 00:39:06 - those people would relinquish the right of representation
00:39:06 --> 00:39:07 - in the legislature,
00:39:08 --> 00:39:09 - a right inestimable
00:39:10 --> 00:39:11 - to them
00:39:11 --> 00:39:12 - and formidable
00:39:13 --> 00:39:15 - to tyrants only.
00:39:16 --> 00:39:18 - He has called together legislative bodies
00:39:19 --> 00:39:20 - at places
00:39:20 --> 00:39:21 - unusual,
00:39:21 --> 00:39:22 - uncomfortable,
00:39:23 --> 00:39:24 - and distant from the depository
00:39:25 --> 00:39:26 - of their public records
00:39:27 --> 00:39:29 - for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into
00:39:29 --> 00:39:31 - compliance with his measures.
00:39:32 --> 00:39:35 - He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly
00:39:36 --> 00:39:36 - for opposing,
00:39:37 --> 00:39:39 - with manly firmness,
00:39:39 --> 00:39:42 - his invasions on the rights of the people.
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45 - He has refused for a long time
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47 - after such disillusions
00:39:48 --> 00:39:50 - to cause others to be elected,
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52 - whereby the legislative
00:39:52 --> 00:39:53 - powers,
00:39:54 --> 00:39:55 - incapable of annihilation,
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58 - have returned to the people at large for
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59 - their exercise.
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02 - The state remaining in the meantime
00:40:02 --> 00:40:05 - exposed to all the dangers of invasion from
00:40:05 --> 00:40:06 - without
00:40:06 --> 00:40:07 - and convulsions
00:40:08 --> 00:40:08 - within.
00:40:09 --> 00:40:12 - He has endeavored to prevent the population of
00:40:12 --> 00:40:13 - these states,
00:40:14 --> 00:40:17 - for that purpose, obstructing the laws for naturalization
00:40:17 --> 00:40:18 - of foreigners,
00:40:19 --> 00:40:22 - refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations
00:40:22 --> 00:40:22 - hither,
00:40:23 --> 00:40:25 - and raising the conditions of new appropriations
00:40:26 --> 00:40:26 - of lands.
00:40:27 --> 00:40:30 - He has obstructed the administration of justice
00:40:30 --> 00:40:34 - by refusing his ascent to laws for establishing
00:40:34 --> 00:40:35 - judiciary
00:40:35 --> 00:40:36 - powers.
00:40:37 --> 00:40:40 - He has made judges dependent on his will
00:40:40 --> 00:40:40 - alone
00:40:41 --> 00:40:43 - for the tenure of their offices
00:40:43 --> 00:40:45 - and the amount and payment
00:40:45 --> 00:40:46 - of their salaries.
00:40:47 --> 00:40:49 - He has erected a multitude of new offices
00:40:49 --> 00:40:52 - and sent hither swarms of officers
00:40:53 --> 00:40:56 - to harass our people and eat our substance.
00:40:57 --> 00:40:58 - He has kept among us in times of
00:40:58 --> 00:41:00 - peace standing armies
00:41:01 --> 00:41:03 - without the consent of our legislatures.
00:41:04 --> 00:41:06 - He has affected to render the military independent
00:41:07 --> 00:41:09 - of and superior to
00:41:09 --> 00:41:10 - the civil power.
00:41:11 --> 00:41:13 - He has combined with others to subject us
00:41:13 --> 00:41:14 - to a jurisdiction
00:41:15 --> 00:41:16 - foreign to our constitution
00:41:17 --> 00:41:18 - and unacknowledged
00:41:18 --> 00:41:19 - by our laws,
00:41:20 --> 00:41:23 - giving his assent to their acts of pretended
00:41:23 --> 00:41:24 - legislation,
00:41:25 --> 00:41:28 - for quartering large bodies of armed troops among
00:41:28 --> 00:41:28 - us,
00:41:29 --> 00:41:32 - for protecting them by a mock trial,
00:41:32 --> 00:41:35 - from punishment for any murders which they should
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36 - have commit
00:41:36 --> 00:41:38 - on the inhabitants
00:41:38 --> 00:41:39 - of these states,
00:41:40 --> 00:41:42 - for cutting off our trade with all parts
00:41:42 --> 00:41:43 - of the world,
00:41:43 --> 00:41:46 - for imposing taxes on us without our consent,
00:41:47 --> 00:41:49 - for depriving us in many cases
00:41:49 --> 00:41:51 - of the benefits of trial by jury,
00:41:52 --> 00:41:53 - for transporting
00:41:54 --> 00:41:56 - us beyond seas to be tried for pretended
00:41:56 --> 00:41:57 - offenses,
00:41:58 --> 00:42:01 - for abolishing the free system of English laws
00:42:02 --> 00:42:03 - in a neighboring province,
00:42:04 --> 00:42:04 - establishing
00:42:05 --> 00:42:06 - therein an arbitrary government,
00:42:07 --> 00:42:08 - and enlarging
00:42:08 --> 00:42:09 - enlarging its boundaries
00:42:10 --> 00:42:12 - so as to render it at once an
00:42:12 --> 00:42:15 - example and fit instrument for introducing
00:42:15 --> 00:42:16 - the same
00:42:16 --> 00:42:17 - absolute rule
00:42:18 --> 00:42:19 - into these colonies.
00:42:20 --> 00:42:22 - For taking away our charters,
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24 - abolishing our most valuable laws,
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26 - and altering fundamentally
00:42:26 --> 00:42:27 - the forms
00:42:27 --> 00:42:29 - of our governments,
00:42:29 --> 00:42:31 - for suspending our own legislatures
00:42:31 --> 00:42:35 - and declaring themselves invested with powers to legislate
00:42:35 --> 00:42:37 - for us in all cases
00:42:38 --> 00:42:38 - whatsoever.
00:42:39 --> 00:42:42 - He has abdicated government here by declaring us
00:42:42 --> 00:42:43 - out of his protection
00:42:44 --> 00:42:47 - and waging war against us.
00:42:47 --> 00:42:49 - He has plundered our seas,
00:42:49 --> 00:42:50 - ravaged our coast,
00:42:51 --> 00:42:52 - burnt our towns,
00:42:52 --> 00:42:55 - and destroyed the lives of our people.
00:42:56 --> 00:42:58 - He is, at this time, transporting
00:42:59 --> 00:43:00 - large armies
00:43:00 --> 00:43:02 - of foreign mercenaries
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04 - to complete the works of death,
00:43:05 --> 00:43:05 - desolation,
00:43:06 --> 00:43:07 - and tyranny
00:43:07 --> 00:43:10 - already begun with circumstances of cruelty
00:43:11 --> 00:43:11 - and profidity
00:43:12 --> 00:43:15 - scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages
00:43:16 --> 00:43:17 - and totally unworthy,
00:43:18 --> 00:43:20 - the head of a civilized
00:43:20 --> 00:43:21 - nation.
00:43:22 --> 00:43:25 - He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive
00:43:25 --> 00:43:26 - on the high seas,
00:43:27 --> 00:43:29 - to bear arms against their country,
00:43:29 --> 00:43:31 - to become the executioners
00:43:31 --> 00:43:33 - of their friends and brethren,
00:43:34 --> 00:43:36 - or to fall themselves by their hands.
00:43:37 --> 00:43:39 - He has excited domestic
00:43:39 --> 00:43:40 - insurrections
00:43:40 --> 00:43:41 - among us
00:43:41 --> 00:43:44 - and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants
00:43:44 --> 00:43:45 - of our frontiers,
00:43:46 --> 00:43:47 - the merciless
00:43:47 --> 00:43:48 - Indian
00:43:48 --> 00:43:49 - savages
00:43:49 --> 00:43:52 - whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished
00:43:53 --> 00:43:54 - destruction of all ages,
00:43:55 --> 00:43:55 - sexes,
00:43:56 --> 00:43:57 - and conditions.
00:43:58 --> 00:44:00 - In every stage of these oppressions,
00:44:01 --> 00:44:03 - we have petitioned for redress
00:44:03 --> 00:44:05 - in the most humble terms.
00:44:05 --> 00:44:09 - Our repeated petitions have been answered only by
00:44:09 --> 00:44:10 - repeated
00:44:10 --> 00:44:10 - injury.
00:44:11 --> 00:44:14 - A prince whose character is thus marked by
00:44:14 --> 00:44:17 - every act which may define a tyrant
00:44:18 --> 00:44:19 - is unfit
00:44:19 --> 00:44:20 - to be the ruler
00:44:21 --> 00:44:22 - of a free people.
00:44:23 --> 00:44:26 - Nor have we been wanting in attentions to
00:44:26 --> 00:44:30 - our British brethren. We have warned them from
00:44:30 --> 00:44:32 - time to time of attempts by their legislature
00:44:33 --> 00:44:34 - to extend an unwarrantable
00:44:36 --> 00:44:36 - jurisdiction
00:44:37 --> 00:44:37 - over us.
00:44:38 --> 00:44:40 - We have reminded them of the circumstances of
00:44:40 --> 00:44:41 - our immigration
00:44:42 --> 00:44:43 - and settlement here.
00:44:44 --> 00:44:47 - We have appealed to their native justice and
00:44:47 --> 00:44:48 - magnanimity,
00:44:49 --> 00:44:52 - and we have conjured them by the ties
00:44:52 --> 00:44:54 - of our common kindred
00:44:55 --> 00:44:57 - to disavow these usurp usurpations,
00:44:58 --> 00:44:59 - which would inevitably
00:44:59 --> 00:45:01 - corrupt our connections
00:45:01 --> 00:45:02 - and correspondence.
00:45:04 --> 00:45:06 - They too have been deaf to the voice
00:45:06 --> 00:45:07 - of justice
00:45:07 --> 00:45:09 - and of consanguinity.
00:45:10 --> 00:45:11 - We must therefore
00:45:12 --> 00:45:12 - acquiesce
00:45:13 --> 00:45:14 - in the necessity
00:45:15 --> 00:45:16 - which denounces
00:45:16 --> 00:45:17 - our separation
00:45:17 --> 00:45:18 - and hold them
00:45:19 --> 00:45:21 - as we hold the rest of mankind,
00:45:22 --> 00:45:22 - enemies
00:45:23 --> 00:45:23 - in war,
00:45:24 --> 00:45:25 - in peace,
00:45:26 --> 00:45:26 - friends.
00:45:27 --> 00:45:31 - We, therefore, the representatives of The United States
00:45:31 --> 00:45:31 - Of America
00:45:32 --> 00:45:34 - and general congress assembled,
00:45:34 --> 00:45:37 - appealing to the supreme judge of the world
00:45:38 --> 00:45:40 - for the rectitude of our intentions,
00:45:41 --> 00:45:41 - due
00:45:42 --> 00:45:43 - in the name
00:45:43 --> 00:45:44 - and by the authority
00:45:45 --> 00:45:47 - of the good people of these colonies,
00:45:48 --> 00:45:48 - solemnly
00:45:48 --> 00:45:50 - publish and declare
00:45:50 --> 00:45:53 - that these United Colonies are
00:45:54 --> 00:45:56 - and of right ought to be
00:45:56 --> 00:45:58 - free and independent
00:45:58 --> 00:45:59 - states,
00:46:00 --> 00:46:03 - and that they are absolved from all allegiance
00:46:03 --> 00:46:04 - to the British crown,
00:46:05 --> 00:46:08 - and that all political connection between them and
00:46:08 --> 00:46:10 - the state of Britain is
00:46:10 --> 00:46:12 - and ought to be totally
00:46:12 --> 00:46:12 - dissolved.
00:46:13 --> 00:46:16 - And that as a free and independent as
00:46:16 --> 00:46:18 - free and independent states,
00:46:18 --> 00:46:21 - they have full power to levy war,
00:46:21 --> 00:46:22 - conclude peace,
00:46:23 --> 00:46:24 - contract alliances,
00:46:24 --> 00:46:26 - establish commerce,
00:46:26 --> 00:46:29 - and to do all other acts and things
00:46:30 --> 00:46:31 - which independent
00:46:31 --> 00:46:31 - states
00:46:32 --> 00:46:33 - may of right do.
00:46:35 --> 00:46:37 - And for the support of this declaration,
00:46:38 --> 00:46:39 - with a firm reliance
00:46:40 --> 00:46:43 - upon the protection of divine providence,
00:46:44 --> 00:46:45 - we mutually pledge
00:46:46 --> 00:46:47 - to each other
00:46:48 --> 00:46:48 - our lives,
00:46:49 --> 00:46:50 - our fortunes,
00:46:51 --> 00:46:53 - and our sacred
00:46:54 --> 00:46:55 - honor.
00:46:56 --> 00:46:59 - Ladies and gentlemen, that is the declaration of
00:46:59 --> 00:46:59 - independence,
00:46:59 --> 00:47:01 - and read it carefully.
00:47:03 --> 00:47:06 - Listen carefully. Read it carefully on your own
00:47:06 --> 00:47:06 - time.
00:47:07 --> 00:47:08 - Where do we sit
00:47:09 --> 00:47:11 - today as a nation?
00:47:12 --> 00:47:13 - Where are we folks?
00:47:16 --> 00:47:18 - My name is Lou Moore, and you have
00:47:18 --> 00:47:20 - been listening to the Hour of Decision
00:47:21 --> 00:47:22 - on Liberty News Radio.
00:47:23 --> 00:47:25 - And I will join you again
00:47:26 --> 00:47:27 - next week.
