Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) helped me sew my class uniform at the Texas Institute of Reflex Sciences.
I was delighted when he ran out of thread due to my aversion to anything requiring mechanical dexterity.
“Adano,” I queried, “Why would someone, specifically myself, have such a resistance to machinery?”
“Wrong education,” he grunted.
Adano wasted only one day in school.
He told his father Benjamin, “They can’t teach me what I want to know.”
Carnegie and Rockefeller (the usual suspects) fashioned the General Education Board (GEB) in the U.S. over a hundred years ago to set up a national caste system in the form of compulsory schooling.
School was designed by the Robber Barons of the time to manage “evolutionary destiny” by “controlled selective breeding.”
(Yes, government schooling is a eugenics program.)
School bells were designed so that students “live in the moment,” restricted to a short attention span suitable for “sound bites” only, and losing all sense of historical perspective.
The blue-blooded men of substance who rule the Global Plantation make sure you finance “living in the moment” with your credit card.
Who controls the past controls the present, and, therefore, the future.
John Taylor Gatto (The Underground History of American Education, 2006) wrote …
“In 1928, Edward L. Bernays, godfather of the new craft of spin control we call ‘public relations,’ told the readers of his book Crystallizing Public Opinion that ‘invisible power’ was now in control of every aspect of American life. Democracy, said Bernays, was only a front for skillful wire-pulling. The necessary know-how to pull these crucial wires was available for sale to businessmen and policy people. Public imagination was controlled by shaping the minds of schoolchildren.”
Wisconsin sociologist Edward A. Ross (Social Control, 1901) wrote …
“People are only little plastic lumps of human dough.”
Today’s molecular biology is the last century’s eugenics in more “scientific” disguise.
Readers of my blog are advised to study the history of Indiana, and be mindful and vigilant about what’s going on there NOW.

Satyajit Das (Extreme Money, 2011) wrote …
“The ancient Aztec cultures used cacao [as commodity money]. The large green-yellow pods of the cacao tree produce a white pulp that, when dried, roasted and ground, becomes chocolate. Some European pirates seized a ship full of cacao beans – a true El Dorado worth more than galleons filled with gold doubloons. Unaware of the value of the cargo and mistaking it for rabbit dung, the pirates dumped the cacao into the ocean.”

Dear AtOm,
So if you’re to home school your 8 yr old boy, what curriculum would you use?
Hugs and blessings,

Before choosing a curriculum, it’s a good idea to read John Taylor Gatto’s The Underground History of American Education, 2006.
I enjoy holding books in hand, so I ordered my copy, but you can read the entire book for free on John Taylor Gatto’s Website.
The info is useful no matter where in the world you live. :)

According to Wikipedia …
“In a 2006 study, the Bay of Islands was found to have the second bluest sky in the world, after Rio de Janeiro.”

“Ours must be a leadership democracy administered by the intelligent minority who know how to regiment and guide the masses.” – Edward Bernays (1891-1995)
I prefer a participatory democracy. :)

it is always amazes me how much “education” has risen in price here in Ireland anyhow and most strive to go even though it divides families and the administration costs have gone through the roof. everything is being tied back to education and even apprenticeships in all fields. you need a piece of paper soon to tie a shoelace….
i think you mentioned before how Adano went through life doing any job and you don’t need too much to live,
enjoy New Zealand and glad to hear it is still paradise:)
