LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A Teacher Takes Issue with Editor’s Comments

To the Editor:

I know the publication Teaching Tolerance and I take issue with your comment that “…it is a primary reason why schools are so goofed up today.” I take issue for several reasons. First, your statement is much too simplistic to seriously address any perceived weaknesses in the school systems; second, the magazine in question is far removed from advocating social engineering; third, and moving through the rest of the paragraph, it is preposterous to suggest that teachers aren’t teaching. I know more teachers than I can count, and not one even has the time to engage in social engineering, should they want to – they’re much too busy being dedicated to their students and to the discharge of their professional and ethical responsibilities to them; fourth, I see no such connection between teachers and psychologists, mealy-mouthed or otherwise. Clearly you have no use for psychologists and take exception to psychiatrists prescribing medication. But repeated impugning of their professional integrity is a disservice to them, to the services they render and to the clients they counsel. Neither they nor the Southern Poverty Law Center (publishers of Teaching Tolerance) is laboring with an agenda of the subterfuge of civilization. The SPLC is simply indefatigable in its pursuit of justice; fifth, our schools do have their areas needing strengthening, but to peremptorily classify schools as “goofed up” is silly and fails to see their myriad strengths…strengths which far outweigh the weaknesses. The public school was a revolutionary and egalitarian idea and remains a foundation of our national democracy…blemishes notwithstanding.

Frances:

Thank you for your letter.  It's about time I got a response from a school teacher rebutting my analysis. I was beginning to think I was writing in a vacuum. I understand you are the Chairperson of the English department at Presque Isle High School; I appreciate you sharing your perspective.

The article you mentioned was illustrating how the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was advocating the elimination of acknowledging boys as "boys" and girls as "girls" within our schools in order to promote gender equalization.  I think that's confusing to our students because we do still segregate males and females with locker rooms for sports and restrooms, as well - which I believe to be prudent in the raising of a new generation for our society and should never change. Boys and girls are different, the SPLC’s belief system notwithstanding. 

The form of social engineering the SPLC advocates takes no time out of a teacher’s day, contrary to your insinuation, because it is done merely by packaging propaganda in “official-looking” publications - the most subtle of all forms of PSYOPS (psychological operations) as taught by the U.S. military. (see - FM31-21 Guerrilla Warfare and Special Forces Operations, 1961 Dept. of the Army, sections 150-151.)

Caribou High School - our next-door neighbor - was subtly teaching pedophilia and homosexuality simply by offering it in their required reading for English Class as recently as 2002. The book, Kaffir Boy described in intricate detail homosexual acts on young African teenage boys that would make even the most hard-core pornographer blush (see Kaffir Boy, ©1986 Mark Mathabane, p. 72) this form of social engineering also takes no time away from the teachers, since it is built into their curriculum. When I published the text of that page in the newsletter, Citizen Reporter, it was banned from a Presque Isle grocery store - even though kids were required to read it in public school! If you want more examples of sexual depravity being taught by public schools, type the word “fistgate” into your search engine to learn what Massachusetts schools were caught teaching their students. Nihil quod est inconveniens est licitum (nothing that is improper is lawful)!

Furthermore, that edition of Teaching Tolerance was also advocating the best method of handling a bully was to tell him: "We don’t want to listen to you anymore. We think you’re a bully." (Teaching Tolerance, Fall, 2005, p. 39)   So, when a guy is smashing your head in with a baseball bat, just tell him you don't like it and he'll stop...right?

In addition to Teaching Tolerance, I have also studied other SPLC's agendas and have found them to be extremely one-sided, leaning toward a quasi-totalitarian/socialist Utopian police state as the solution to all our nation's ills.  If we're going to wave our flags and claim to be the "land of the free," that is not the road map to follow.

You are correct, I have no use for psychiatrists or psychologists.  I have first-hand experience with them via a member of my family.  They were horribly inefficient, regardless of which one provided the "service."  They seemed to only exist to perpetuate their craft and keep a steady stream of state-funded customers coming through their doors, with actual solutions nowhere in sight.  That family member has since gotten away from that system and is doing much better without them or their drugs.

If drugging isn’t bad enough, on May 19, 2003, the American Psychiatric Association proposed at their conference in San Francisco to remove the several long-recognized categories of mental illness - pedophilia (sex with children/infants), exhibitionism, fetishism, transvestitism, voyeurism and sadomasochism - from their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). (-see Citizen Reporter, September, 2003, p. 1) Some of these psychiatrists are now teaching future public school teachers as college professors, training current public school teachers on some select “In Service days,” and guiding Department of Education bureaucrats on proper methodology of indoctrinating students. The writer of that Teaching Tolerance article regarding “boys” and “girls” was also a professor of psychology at the University of Texas - and a Ph. D., no less. Ergo, propter hoc your perception of no psych/teacher connection needs to be reconsidered.

I also respectfully correct your statement that we live in a “national democracy" - as your letter indicates. We actually live in a democratically-elected Representative Republic.

You are correct, though, about public schools being a “revolutionary and egalitarian idea” - Karl Marx advocated the same when he placed “Free education for all children in public schools” in the 10th plank of his Communist Manifesto.

 I truly hope things aren't as bad as I believe they are, or our society won't be able to make it...revolutionary and egalitarian public schools notwithstanding.

Hold "Conspiracy Theorists" Accountable!

Dave,

I DON'T just automatically dismiss things usually--even when they sound crazy. In the case of the 9-11 conspiracy theories, I didn't dismiss those either. I actually DID some work to find out if any evidence existed to disprove the early accusations (the ones that came out in 2001/2002/2003). And Dave, there was VOLUMES of evidence, of course, to show that any "evidence" was simply preposterous---that it was wishful thinking that even a smart 5th grader could see through. What's been AMAZING to me is that THE FLOOD of accusations just keeps on coming! There seems to NO LIMIT to the "facts" that conspiracy theorists bring forth.. So folks like me are left to decide: should I spend more valuable time continuing to pay attention to this never-ending flood of conspiracy theory stuff; or is it ALL PRETTY MUCH JUST GARBAGE THAT CAN BE DISREGARDED? I choose the latter. AND FURTHER: I choose to hope that those who come up with it (and spread it) are held accountable. We can't and shouldn't incarcerate them; but I hope they are socially ostracized, lose their businesses (including media holdings), and are stripped of any power they have. They are doing this country harm and an injustice. Finally, Bush and his like aren't conservatives and he's not a very good Prez, as I've said.) But there really IS such a thing as Bush Derangement Syndrome. As for Islamofascists, get your head out of the sand. They butchered 3,000 children, elderly people, sisters, wives, sons, etc. on 9-11, and will do it again if we don't stop them. Oh, and they'll also SHUT DOWN papers like yours if they get their way (I doubt BUSH has tried to do that to you, Dave). Of COURSE not all Muslims are terrorists. But 25% of all Canadian Muslims said that the failed effort to blow up downtown Toronto and behead the prime minister WAS JUSTIFIED. (Surveys in the US aren't are just as alarming).. My wife's Dad works in one of those targeted buildings--there is a human face to this butchery, Dave. I hope you never find that out personally. But you'd better hope we win this VERY REAL war; after all, YOU will be one of the first to go if they win. (Oh, and you never really answered my original question about accountability for conspiracy theories. I can't waste any more time on CTs, so I'm done with FFJ. Sorry.

Dear Anonymous Email:

“Islamofascists” (did you learn that term from Bill O’Reilly or Shawn Hannity?) is a misnomer. While “fascist” sounds scary and evil, all it means is one who advocates for government control of industry and labor. I don’t believe Muslim extremists, to whom your are referring, care one way or another whether the government controls businesses or not. Furthermore, Muslim extremists do not scare me. For over twenty years with our help and financial assistance and military training those in Iraq couldn’t even subdue their neighbor, Iran so I’m not too worried about them launching a massive military operation from 6,000 miles away and occupying our country. Besides, why should they go through all the trouble to steal our land and take our freedoms when our own government at the local, state and federal level is doing such a beautiful job to that end already?

Let’s not give so-called “Islamofascists” too much credit; they can not “shut down” this newspaper, as you indicate, unless the Lord God allows them to. If I’m “the first to go” as you warn, that’s okay with me, I’ll be at home in glory with my Heavenly Father!

As far as “winning” this current war is concerned, consider this: we aren’t supposed to win it - there’s no continuing profit in a war that is won, just in one (or several) being continually fought. What do you think is keeping our economy from crashing and burning into an uncontrollable depression?

I presume you are referring to my articles and references to the documentary movie 911 Mysteries: Part 1: Demolitions. The 9/11 "conspiracy theory" material you cite, is not "theory" at all; it is fact. Galileo's Law of Falling Bodies (d=½gt²) is a well-established scientific maxim that exists outside of political paradigms. It is not a theory that the buildings fell nearly as fast as an object would in a vacuum without resistance --- it is a fact we all witnessed. The only way a building can fall that fast is Controlled Demolitions (CD) removing the resistance of the floors below. The math has been shown that the "pancake" theory would have required the buildings, with all the resistance of the floors below the impact contributing, should have fallen in around 96 seconds - not 8.5-10.5 seconds. Have any of the mainstream television news networks discussed Galileo's Law of Falling Bodies? If not, why?

Couple that with:

 

1.) Evidence of squibs (CD explosions) visible throughout the buildings as they are falling (regardless of whose video you look at)

 

2.) The fact that the news reported the ground floor windows blown outward hundreds of feet below the crash site.

 

3.) Explosions in the basement destroying the parking garages - before and after either plane hit

 

4.) Traces of thermite and thermate being found on some of the columns that were shipped to so-called "freedom parks;" and

 

5.) The ground still burning at 1100 degrees Fahrenheit eight weeks after the collapse - only thermite/thermate with its built-in oxygen supply (in its iron oxide compound) can provide that massive amount of heat so many weeks later, buried deep underground - not jet fuel underground in an oxygen-less environment.

 

6.) steel beams weighing hundreds of tons thrown laterally 400 feet and imbedding themselves in neighboring buildings

 

7.) Larry Silverstein admitting to having building 7 "pulled" (controlled demolitions terminology for demolishing a building) on a PBS documentary...

 

I'm not going to go on. Applying a principle of inductive logic called Ockham’s Razor where the simplest explanation must be assigned until another more complicated one is proven, the evidence that controlled demolitions were used is overwhelming. For those who want to see the documentary, go to www.911mysteries.org and order it….But that's only if they want to consider scientific evidence and eyewitness testimony.

If you want to continue to believe the government's story while we're "in a time of war," there's nothing I can do about that. I'm not saying who did the WTC controlled demolitions, I don't have any evidence to that end; I'm only saying that based on the scientific facts and evidence available, it has been proven to me beyond a reasonable doubt that controlled demolitions were used. "Who" is up to the historians to figure out.

As far as "damaging" our country with "theories" I submit our country and its constitution has already been irreparably damaged since 1861 by politicians and bureaucrats not being held accountable by the now acquiescent, corporate-controlled press. We haven't had our constitutional republic destroyed from enemies without or from conspiracy theorists within - neither of them have the power to ignore our constitutional rights, put us in jail for violating fictional laws, or plunge our country into nearly $9 trillion of unpayable debt...please consider who does have that power...

Socially ostracizing those in the media who ask these tough questions would be a disaster, but unfortunately it is built in to human nature. Please refer to my editorial on page two of this issue in that regard.
