As is said, desperate times call for desperate measures –yes, these are desperate times!
This is so, particularly due to the unprecedented havoc sweeping across the world via the unleashing of a global pandemic – incontestably, corona is a Chinese-manufactured virus!
Even though the economy was roaring like gangbusters prior to the onslaught of corona – thanks to President Trump’s economic foresight and Midas touch, and despite the continuous investigations and incessant incitement hurled his way – the full-on economic wreckage has yet to be calculated. Not only that, despite it all, the deep state and the corporate media mob will never, ever cease and desist. They want him gone. Destroyed and diminished. They will do anything and everything to effectuate said end. Period.
For in reality and for all practical purposes, yesteryear’s liberal Democratic Party has devolved into an outright arm of fascism on Capitol Hill – albeit couched under so-called Democratic-socialism which is, in and of itself, an absolute oxymoron.
And despite the few who still cling to its dead and buried centrist roots, well, if it looks like a duck …
More pointedly, the all empowered left on Capitol Hill are hell bent on instituting a deadly mix of socialism, Marxism and communism, come what may. This is their end goal – through whichever Democratic candidate they field, even if it takes a mostly somnolent Joe Biden to be the party’s standard bearer!
Indeed, be it through a smoke-and-mirrors diet of outlandish promises, lies, spin, and shuck and jive, they will push forward their re-shaping of America.
Yes, Sleepy Joe, a faux centrist, is being propped up by Democrat power brokers who are running scared. “Gaffe- prone Joe” is being kept alive – despite his mental decline – to the delight of the deep-state puppeteers operating behind the scenes to guide him. This highly dangerous, outrageous, and outlandish spectacle is reminiscent of “Weekend at Bernie’s,” a 1989 comedy starring Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman. No kidding. As a result, the party of non-ideas will never loosen its grip on power. Never.
Be that as it may, the aforementioned power-brokers stand ready to shred the nation’s constitutional underpinnings – having been taught the tools of the revolutionary trade at college campuses across America.
To wit, millions of patriotic Americans are witnessing the main knock-on effect of leaving the far-left in charge of educating generations of students, from K-12, only to arrive at colleges which serve as higher education boot camps.
Yes, ever since the Weathermen and Black Panthers terrorized the public during the 1960s and 1970s, the campuses have been their playing field to (inevitably and eventually) bring down America.
Incontestably, today’s red-aligned troops are the devoted disciples and inheritors of said torchbearers. Having honed their tactics through years of domestic terrorism, the baton is now being handed to the poisonous fruits of Bill Ayers and like-minded revolution- aries. They are ready… set… go… to blow apart America’s foundation(s).
Due to the above and so much more, the urgency for AmericasCivilWarRising.org couldn’t be more acute. ♦
WHEN Senator Obama catapulted (seemingly) out of nowhere into the White House, he promised to “heal the racial divide”, over and over again. Yet, it was at a time when blacks were enjoying steadily increased upward mobility, some even more so than whites. Yes, there are enumerable poor whites too!
THE question dawned to some of us “knuckle-draggers”: What “wrongs needed to be righted”, when so many advancements for blacks – particularly, its growing middle class – were visible, other than those whipped up by professional race-baiters who are perpetually aggrieved, hyper-charged and highly paid hucksters? Always at the ready, they have many thousands of foot soldiers on tap. To what end? Wait. Read.
BUT never mind the facts at hand. In reality, the economic gains enjoyed by blacks have been wiped out under HUSSEIN Obama’s watch. Still, he claims to be their healer and savior from the so-called white “oppressor.”
Millions of Americans endured financial calamities in the recession. But for many in the black community, job loss has knocked them out of the middle class and back into poverty. And some experts warn of a historic reversal of hard-won economic gains that took black people decades to achieve.
“History is going to say the black middle class was decimated” over the past few years, said Maya Wiley, director of the Center for Social Inclusion. “But we’re not done writing history.”
Adds Algernon Austin, director of the Economic Policy Institute’s Program on Race, Ethnicity and the Economy: “The recession is not over for black folks.”
In 2004, the median net worth of white households was $134,280, compared with $13,450 for black households, according to an analysis of Federal Reserve data by the Economic Policy Institute. By 2009, the median net worth for white households had fallen 24 percent to $97,860; the median net worth for black households had fallen 83 percent to $2,170, according to the institute.
WHAT’S really going on? And, don’t dare dismiss, birds of a (race-baiting) feather….
AS always, questions must lead to an end goal: What’s Obama Inc. up to? Intrinsically, what are they “hoping to change?”
ADDING to the above queries, one must always be mindful of hard stats, as much as his surrogates attempt to wish them away.
MOVING right along, ignore all their distractions and sideshows, and please concentrate on what is at stake. The fact remains that there IS a war going on inside America but not against blacks. Rather, it is against America as a Constitutional-based, freedom-seeking nation!
EFFECTIVELY, to keep tensions on high boil, “Black Lives Matter” was created by Demster operatives. Its underbelly comprises the hard left and their domestic terror counterparts, as referenced below. For decades, many of them have been in the forefront, working continuously to bring America to her knees. And whether or not they act as “advisers” – or what not – the ends always justify the means.
In a video posted to YouTube on Tuesday, a Black Lives Matteractivist declares that it’s now “open season” for killing white people and police officers. Showing an image of black people standing on the U.S. flag, the host of the BlogTalkRadio program talks about “picking off” police officers.
“And,” the host says, “there’s nothing” that white people can do about it. “His day is up,” the unidentified host adds, speaking of white people.
“We will witness more executions and killing of white people and cops than we ever have before,” the host said. “It’s about to go down,” added the host, referring to the murder of Harris County Deputy Sheriff Darren Goforth and the Virginia shooting in which two employees of a television station were gunned down. The host of the program even found Goforth’s murder “funny.”
“It’s open season on killing white people and crackers,” the host added, echoing sentiments issued by leaders of the radical New Black Panther Party. The poster of the video, an individual who calls himself “Col. Hannibal Smith” of illwriteit.com, said that BlogTalkRadio “promotes terrorism” for allowing their services to be used by the group.
This is not the first time radical groups have issued calls for murder. As we have reported many times, leaders of the New Black Panther Party have called for white people to be murdered. One even advocated murdering white babies by bombing nurseries.
In 2013, we reported that an employee of the Department of Homeland Security advocated genocide on his personal website. “Warfare is eminent, and in order for Black people to survive the 21st century, we are going to have to kill a lot of whites – more than our christian (sic) hearts can possibly count,” Ayo Kimathi wrote.
Recently, Black Lives Matter protesters were recorded chanting, “pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon,” a clear call for violence against police. The group claims they weren’t calling for violence, but the claim appears to have fallen on deaf ears….continue reading….
STILL yet, where is Obama Inc. headed? Moreover, why aren’t those who incite to murder in jail, pending lengthy criminal sentences? Rhetorical.
AS sickening (and illegal) as the above is, there’s more. Much more.
AT its base, the left, as a revolutionary movement, understands when to utilize soft vs hard power. The nexus thereof. Effectively, by incrementally setting the American house on fire through slow-boiling akin to frogs – be it through illegal aliens running rampant, Islamists on the loose, racial warfare, economic free-falls, and other pressure points ala cop-killings – average Americans become increasingly scared. Nevertheless, they are nowhere near hysterical, until a tipping point shifts the national landscape. To a certitude, Obama and surrogates are fully primed. Indeed, plans are in place to swoop in, when an opening to exert TOTAL control is decided upon. Deadly serious.
PRAIRIE FIRE, anyone? Yes, today’s fires are mirroring the 1974 communist revolutionary manifesto, and it was written by none other than VERY close associates of HUSSEIN Obama! As domestic terrorists, Weathermen, they were wanted by the FEDS.
RESULTANT, bringing down America has always been their mission, and they are closer than ever, “thanks” to their dedicated disciple and friend, HUSSEIN Obama!
INDUBITABLY, when city after city turn into war zones, most citizens will BEG for Federal intervention. Obama Inc., the arsonists, are counting on it.
BASICALLY, it will be the masses who will, however unwittingly, help usher in martial law. Consider this scenario as a visual aid: imagine – within all the chaos – folks running into the arms of Obama Inc.’s FED agencies to save their burning homes/communities, thinking they are the firefighters! As such, “calm” will need to be restored, hence, the imposition of this and that restrictive edict. Easy peasy.
CONSEQUENTIALLY, a little known “legal” caveat will be at the ready to gain ultimate control, and it is called THEMA; a “provisional” government. What this really entails is a complete acquisition of power to whoever is President when a crisis is declared nationally, and said person becomes akin to a King! You got that? Forthwith, Congressional reps and senators head back to their home states, and they become the legislative gov’t in their respective states, and that is that. Most significantly, the President is the only one who can call the crisis over! Oh. Oh dear.
KNOW this: HUSSEIN Obama, evil as he is, is NOT (emphasis placed) foolish. In fact, aside from the criminal duo Bonnie & Clyde Clinton, he is the most astute political operative to date.
TRUE to political form, on the one hand, through the well-known usage of a “trial balloon”, and on the other via a finger-in-the-eye, the Potentate-in-Waiting recently intoned: He could win a third term as President! Mind you, he does “admit” that the law does not allow it. Whatever.
BTW, America’s revolutionaries do not abide by any stumbling blocks, least of which include the rights of the American people, nor the “pesky” Constitution. However, for Obama Inc., the real challenge is the criminally bent Clintons.
TRY as one might, one can’t separate the unfolding JADE HELM 15 nightmare from FEMA‘s plans. They are inextricably tied, and supportive evidence will attest to the same.
BUT before we proceed, it must be recognized that some folks reflexively deal with frightening scenarios akin to kindergartners, as they close their ears and wag their fingers at the bearers of bad news. No matter, facts are stubborn.
NOW, Bill Ayers’s nexus to HUSSEIN Obama is rock solid. Ongoing. The following evidence should suffice as starting points:
RESEARCH conducted by this investigative journalist for a book review at American Thinker, Bringing Down America, revealed more than enough iron clad proof of their past relationship, as well as their present one. Why does this matter? More importantly, how couldn’t it?
THEREFORE, as this site back-tracks into their relationship, the following becomes more than self-explanatory. Self evident.
Enter: Eric Holder, a comrade-in-arms, his revolutionary (red/green)”legally-cloaked” hatchet man…he appointed attorney Deborah Leff to take over the Office of the Pardon Attorney. She is the KEY link to connecting the Criminal-in-Chief to domestic terrorist Ayers, all those years ago. Full circle? You betcha!
SO with the above commentary backgrounder/building blocks set in place, internalize the mega ways in which Obama Inc. has turned America leftward, concluding with the absolute secretive deals cooked up ala TPP and its New World Order basis. Similarly, the Brotherhood Mafia is embedded within his admin. There can no longer be any argument re this matter, now that a heretofore hidden doc has been revealed. Alas, the aforementioned two pillars have set the stage for FEMA’s “re-education” participation in JADE HELM 15, as opposed to requisite national preparedness exercises executed by a patriotic regime. Believe it or not.
The guillotine has never been used inside of the United States. The United States has executed people by firing squad, hanging, the electric chair and lethal injection. Claims that the guillotine will be used on American soil against Americans, seem ludicrous on its face. However, several dots are connecting which casts serious doubt on that assumption.
Ted Gunderson
Former FBI agent, the late Ted Gunderson, has a very mixed level of credibility among the Patriot community. However, nobody can accuse Gunderson as being incorrect when it came to assessing the depth and depravity of child sex trafficking. Gunderson is quite clear when he says that Guillotines will be used against political dissidents….
The Fast and Furious Component of Guillotines
Today, my sources tell me that guillotines are manufactured by front companies in China which are controlled by the Chinese military. The component parts are subsequently shipped to the Muslim Brotherhood and they are reshipped to Peru where the world’s biggest drug dealers, the Sanchez-Paredes cartel assembles the guillotines and ships them to various locations controlled by ISIS.
A month ago, I interviewed former Army Special Operations officer, Scott Bennett, the author of many ARSOF psyops programs, about the funding of the CIA through Swiss banks accounts. Along the lines of the Bennett revelations, I have learned that exotic weaponry, such as guillotines, are funded in the same manner.
Has anyone else ever noted that since the Mexican drug cartels became involved with Middle Eastern terrorist groups, that beheadings have become the modus operandi for the cartels?
Actions Speak Louder Than Words
I get understandably nervous, at the prospect of guillotines on American soil, as I watch the endless series of beheadings of Christians in the Middle East by the radical ISIS. The following represents a small sample size of what is happening to Christians and their subsequent mass beheadings at the hands of ISIS.
Have you ever heard the allegations which accuse some doctors, primarily in China, of killing patients in order to sell their organs on the black market?
After you read the following paragraphs, you may conclude that those rumors are true. When Representative Teper was asked about his motivation to exclusively use the guillotine to execute death row inmates, he said, it would allow for death-row inmates asorgan donors. The very spooky Teper further reasoned that the “Blade makes a clean-cut and leaves vital organs intact.” I will be happy to let this statement speak for itself. Below is a draft of the legislation.
1- 8The GeneralAssembly finds that while prisoners condemned to death may wish to donate one or more of their organs for transplant, any such desire is thwarted by the fact that electrocution makes all such organs unsuitable for transplant.
The intent of the General Assembly in enacting this legislation is to provide for a method of execution which is compatible with the donation of organs by a condemned prisoner.
Summary
We have precedent for the beheading of Christians by radical Muslim forces, we have religious doctrine calling for the beheading of non-Islamic believers, we now have the “camps” where these acts could be perpetrated against American Christians and we have pastors hired to calm the people but they cannot mention Jesus or the Bible. We should all be connecting the dots.
People should be able to practice their religion without infringing on the rights of non believers. However, when one doctrine demands beheadings for non believers, then we have a problem. And when the United Nationsis mandating that the U.S. must accept 70,000 Muslim immigrants, maybe we should all be paying closer attention to the nature of the people being admitted to the country. Inexcusably, the FBI has said that they do not have the resources to properly screen these immigrants, under the Refugee/Resettlement UN program. Idaho was the most recent site for relocation as 9,000 Syrians were recently deposited in the state. Many are viewing this program as a ticking time bomb.
As ISIS incursions increase in number and intensity, such as the one we recently witnessed in Garland, TX., we should consider the fact that we are going to see beheadings of American citizens on American soil. We know that Muslim terror groups traffic in guns, drugs and children. Is trafficking in organs that far-fetched? Therefore, many are asking the question if beheadings will become a part of official doctrine and policy at FEMA camps under FM 3-39.4? Well, the document does provide that foreign troops will be trained to work in the camps and that these foreign troops will be training more foreign troops to work in the camps.
Will ISIS personnel be recruited to work in the camps as the executioners? Well, is ISIS funded by the CIA? Did Eric Holder oversee Fast and Furious?Do the guillotines represent a new flavor of Fast and Furious? Will this be the fate of political dissidents extracted by Jade Helm?
In my estimation, there is no question that guillotines represent a form of Fast and Furious and the American people will be the intended targets. Will the elite also make money in the Black Market organ trading business? Will they team up with these terrorists? There are a lot of dots that are connecting for there not to be some real substance to these events!
Gunderson’s guillotine claims are historically bolstered by Representative Doug Teper, of the Georgia Legislative Assembly (Democrat) introduced a bill which will supplant the method of execution, the electric chair, with the guillotine back in 1995-6? The referenced bill was Georgia State House Bill (1995-6) HB 1274– Death penalty; guillotine provisions. Certainly, Teper would have never thought that this was possible if there were not already guillotines inside of the United States.
YOU may want to re-read the above to ensure that your eyes are not deceiving you.
MIND you, as to the assertion that ISIS may become decapitating partners for the regime, well, consider the fact that ISIS already has a nexus to the State Dept., thus, it becomes a decided possibility. Indeed.
TRENCHANTLY, it is always the case that totalitarian leaning regimes understand certain rules of the game. Basics. Essentially, moving a free society into their orbit takes time, steadied patience and mass prep.
EFFECTIVELY, what we are witnessing relative to JADE HELM 15 has ALL the hallmarks of such an undertaking. And since an increasing amount of Americans/westerners (other than those who are comrade aligned) agree that HUSSEIN Obama is a cultural Marxist who is infused with Islamist allegiances, extrapolating from this assessment connects to the whys and wherefores of his major strategic policies. Indeed, the underpinning of his twinned red/green ideologies are clearly visible via America’s domestic and foreign fronts.
REGARDLESS of anything else, the fact remains that a patriotic POTUS would always have sundry preps in place against those who are plotting to bring down America as a FREE country. Nevertheless, however discomfiting and depressing the landscape is, rather, he is planning to overturn said freedoms by (eventually) having the plans/infrastructure in place to intern the most patriotic citizens of all; those whose essence reflects what red, white and blue embodies!
HEREIN lies the precipitous dangers of a run-away-regime, one which is hell-bent on TRANSFORMING the greatest democracy the world has ever known. History is replete with said monsters, in one variation or another.
SO what’s their end game? Consider: in a little over 7 years the malignant POTUS has succeeded (yes, he has) in turning the country into an unrecognizable shell of itself. If left unchecked, a blending of Marxist/socialist constructs – imbued with Shariah Law’s totalitarian maximalism – will become America’s underpinnings, if millions of patriots don’t put the brakes on it. Massive push back. Whatever it takes.
MOST well-informed folks realize that a leadership’s core plans, both on the domestic and foreign fronts, are subject to fluid timeline revisions. Tweaks. This is the case when situations on the ground warrant temporary postponement. However, this should never be mistaken for a volte-face, rather, it should be viewed as a re-jiggering.
IN line with the above considerations, readers should internalize a recent commentary and attendant updates regarding upcoming special ops exercises within the entire southwest. Said military “exercises” have left more than a few alarmed at its unprecedented scope. And the very fact that a highly co-opted DHS is in the mix, in tandem with the purging of the top patriotic spears of the military, well, it is good enough reason for patriots to be on HYPER alert. Rest assured, said removals were precursors to future plans and these plans are coming to fruition, sooner than later.
MOST significantly, it has never been the case – at least up until HUSSEIN Obama catapulted into the White House – that (mostly retired) military officers issued warnings against a sitting administration. Not only are said missives unprecedented, but they decidedly place a target on the backs of those issuing them! Regardless, they refuse to stay silent, and for that we should all give them a mega thumbs up and attendant support, come what may.
BUT let’s also add a DHS whistle-blower to their target bank. O M G !
INCLUSIVE in this growing list of “non-compliant” (retired) officers is….
I fully intend to address this in far greater detail within days, but ask yourself, with all the law enforcement available in the United States, who the DHS is preparing to declare war on inside the U.S.?
With the massive purchases of almost 3,000 new armored vehicles (MRAPs) and 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammunition, with associated weapons,who in the U.S. do they intend to kill? Short answer: You and me! Anyone they think is standing in their way to impose a new Marxist government! Anyone who stands for the U.S. Constitution!
We must demand that our representatives (Senators and U.S. Representatives) stand firm and immediately force, by law if necessary, the DHS turn over their arsenal of war making equipment to the Department of Defense.
Nothing justifies this massive arms build up of an agency whose jurisdiction is internal within the United States of America! They are preparing to go to war against American citizens!
Then we discovered a massive extraction of dissidents drill in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. and the drill had expanded to 9 states. This was yet another lie. And why would it be necessary to use the military to “extract” American civilians”?
Did you ever think you would see this in America? This is an extraction of dissidents drill in Florida.
In the past 48 hours, I have received multiple communications from Michigan regarding the call up of the National Guard to active duty status beginning on July 15, 2015, the start of JADE HELM!
Hi Dave,
I spoke to a national guard members brother today, who is in the same platoon. He says the two month-long training is for the use of what he called strykers (his spelling) which he says is similar to a tank but is completely sealed from the outside, and is capable of being used in chemical and radioactive situations as well as being outfitted with a 50 cal. machine gun
_________
Dear Dave,
My cousin is in the Michigan National Guard. He is being called to active duty on July 15. Doesn’t that correspond to the formal beginning of Jade 15. He said that the drill are going to take place in No. Michigan and it involves the relocation of large populations from imminent danger. Love your show, keep up the good work!
Ben

Dave,
My neighbor told me he will be drilling in some disaster drill for the Michigan National Guard this summer on July 15. I would bet that this part of Jade Helm. He is an operations officer and he said one thing was very curious. They were told to be prepared to work with foreign troops from several countries.He also said that an UN observer will be assigned to each unit.
Michigan National Guard plans to go to active duty status on July 15th.
__________
When someone is caught massively and repeatedly lying about something, isn’t it usually done to conceal a dark truth?
Jade Helm 15 is clearly a national extraction and martial law drill. It is not in 7 states, or 9 states, this drill is a national drill.
INDEED, more than enough evidence is being gathered that JADE HELM is a prep for martial law, whenever the order is given!
I am a former USMC Staff Sergeant that served at Camp Lejeune NC with 1st Bn 8th Marines. All of the training exercises you have been talking about are all true, I have personally participated in them in Virginia at Fort Pickett and on Camp Lejeune. Camp Lejeune constructed a multi million dollar training facility deep inside the artillery and heavy weapons firing K ranges. Attached are PDF files that I had from training exercises that shows the layout of the facility and the future expansion plans for the MOUT Facility. We were told this was supposed to be Iraq or Afghanistan, but it sure looks like hometown USA to me. It has a complete underground sewer system and many multi story buildings made of western style building materials not half shoddy construction to save money or time or Middle Eastern style. It’s a replica of a small western style town (I’d say American since the signs were in ENGLISH). How many Arabic/Middle Eastern towns in Iraq or Afghanistan have a Baptist church and an American high school in them? They have been training FOREIGN TROOPS at this facility and Federal and Local Law enforcement as well. While I was at Camp Lejeune, I personally saw and talked to many UN, NATO troops, and DHS. I have additional material if you are interested and the training guidelines that the military is training the police/DHS with under DOD Directive 302521.
CONCLUSIVELY, many readers know that domestic terrorist cum (mis)educator, Billy boy Ayers, opined about “re-educating” millions of Americans in FEMA-type camps and killing off those who refuse to learn their lessons!
In his 2001 memoir Fugitive Days, Ayers recounts his life as a Sixties radical and boasts that he “participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972.” Of the day he bombed the Pentagon, Ayers writes, “Everything was absolutely ideal…. The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.” He further recalls his fascination with the fact that “a good bomb” could render even “big buildings and wide streets … fragile and destructible,” leaving behind a “majestic scene” of utter destruction.
All told, Ayers and the Weather Underground were responsible for 30 bombings aimed at destroying the defense and security infrastructures of the U.S. “I don’t regret setting bombs,”said Ayers in 2001, “I feel we didn’t do enough.” Contemplating whether or not he might again use bombs against the U.S. sometime in the future, he wrote: “I can’t imagine entirely dismissing the possibility”……
IN this regard, does anyone believe it is a coincidence that the traitor-in-Chief jump-started his political career in the home of Ayers? Realistically, could he not have known about his buddy’s murderous ideas (which were public knowledge)? Rhetorical.
Gibbs called the Republicans’ assertion of fact a “myth” that had been debunked by the local and national press. This was a lie. Click ‘play’ and watch the balance of the clip, which includes Ayers’ nonchalant admission that the fundraiser did take place after all. Fact: Barack Obama launched his political career in the home of two people who coordinated bombings of the US Capitol, Pentagon, and NYPD headquarters, among other places. Their radical organization also plotted to bomb an army dance at Fort Dix, but (thankfully) failed spectacularly. Did Gibbs knowlingly lie to Chris Matthews, or did Obama lie to his staff? I’d imagine the reality is some combination of the two. I wrote extensively on this subject during the last campaign, when I was living in Chicago. In fact, I’ll direct you to my August 24, 2008 Townhall column, which offered a point-by-point refutation of the campaign’s perfidious Obama/Ayers “fact sheet.” A brief taste:
Let’s examine Obama’s claim that his connection to Ayers and Dohrn is “tenuous” and “phony.” Is it phony that Obama’s political coming-out party in the mid-1990s was hosted by Ayers and Dohrn? What about the panel discussions in which Ayers and Obama both took part—that were organized by Michelle Obama? Tenuous? I suppose the goodbye party for prominent Israel basher and Arafat apologist Rashid Khalidi, attended by Obama, Ayers and Dohrn, is also unworthy of discussion. That Khalidi himself hosted a fundraiser for Obama’s first Congressional campaign must be completely irrelevant, too.
Then there’s the pesky fact that Obama and Ayers served together on the board of the Woods Fund for three years—and continued to do so even after Ayers was quoted in the New York Times fondly recalling his days as a bomber, and despairing that he hadn’t “done more.” (This quote, the Obama fact sheet reminds us, comes from an interview that just happened to be published on 9/11—Ayers had made the incendiary remarks earlier. I don’t know about you, but that makes me feel a lot better). The funds Obama and Ayers helped control at the Woods Foundation funneled thousands of dollars into both Khalidi’s organization and the now-infamous Trinity United Church of Christ. Irrelevant, phony distractions? So what if the Obama campaign’s top strategist concedes that the Senator’s relationship with the terrorist is “friendly”? I apologize for even devoting this much attention to such tenuous and unimportant information.
Obama’s “fact” sheet then brings us the crucial bulletin that all charges against Ayers were dropped, and that he spent no time in jail. Absolutely true. Except a minor detail was omitted: Ayers openly admits he is “guilty as sin” but “free as a bird.” Charges were dropped because federal authorities overstepped their legal bounds in pursuing the Weathermen,not because the charges were unfounded.
In case there’s any lingering doubt about the nature of Obama’s close relationship with Ayers, watch this extraordinarily thorough CNN report. Pay close attention to the bit starting around the 4:30 mark:
“Where was that introduction made? At the home of the sixties radicals, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. The Obama campaign again says it is just a coincidence.”
Similarly, the kiddies – for generations to come – are a key part of their radical designs. Revolutionary predecessors prepped the groundwork for their co-option, but the Radical-in-Chief has ratcheted up said implementation at warp speed. A good portion of evidence can be found within a book review featured at American Thinker: Bringing Down America.
As such, keep in mind the CORE contribution of Billy Boy Ayers, yes, the domestic terrorist cum “educator”, who has been orchestrating the (mis)education of the kiddies for decades.
INDEED, he has also been a frequent visitor at the People’s House, courtesy of Barack HUSSEIN Obama, even as the Liar-in-Chief opined: “Ayers was just a guy in the neighborhood.” Oh really…Terrorist Bill Ayers: From Bombs to Obama.
No matter. Let’s not be bothered with pesky details, and never mind the fact that Ayers escaped the long-arm of the law (why isn’t he rotting in Federal prison?) as head of the Weathermen, a group which committed murder and domestic acts of terrorism for years!
Alas, onto the kiddies and Obama Inc.’s iron-grip core!
This article is about the travesty called the Common Core Standards. Its design began before Obama was elected but I and others refer to it as Obamacore because Obama played a major role in imposing it on the country, and like Obamacare it was passed without being read, and it involves centralized data collection of private information. States across the U.S. signed on to Obamacore because they were bribed with stimulus funds. As parents became aware of the changes that were made to their children’s education many joined organizations to oppose it. Many insightful and alarming critiques have been written regarding the danger of Common Core. There are fears that Common Core is paving the way for indoctrination of American students by centralizing control of education, collecting massive amount of data on students, and telling teachers what they must and must not teach. There are reports that scores have dropped when the Common Core was adopted and that a curriculum designed to meet the Common Core standards would only prepare students for entry level courses in nonselective community colleges.
James Milgram, the only mathematician in the Common Core validation committee , refused to sign off on the math standards. He said that Common Core math standards would put students two years behind those of high-achieving countries. He told the Texas state legislature that Common Core standards are, “in large measure a political document that . . . is written at a very low level and does not adequately reflect our current understanding of why the math programs in the high-achieving countries give dramatically better results.”
He said:
“I had considerable influence on the mathematics standards in the document. However, as is often the case, there was input from many other sources — including State Departments of Education — that had to be incorporated into the standards… A number of these sources were mainly focused on things like making the standards as non-challenging as possible. Others were focused on making sure their favorite topics were present, and handled in the way they liked.”
Dr. Milgram added that it led to a number of “extremely serious failings” in the Common Core that made it premature for any state hoping to improve math scores to implement them and that the Core Math standards were designed to reflect very low expectations.
The Common Core standards are low compared to those of high achieving countries but a study by the Thomas Fordham Institute found that the Common Core English standards are higher than those of 37 states and the math standards are higher than those of 39 states. The reason for this is that states dumbed down their minimum standards so they could show they were meeting their standards and get No Child Left Behind money. Previously it was easy for a school to exceed the minimum state standards. Common Core imposes a low level curriculum on schools which dictate what to teach and what not to teach.
Why are the standards of Common Core low when the ostensible purpose of Common Core is to raise the performance of American students? One can find the answer in a document by the American Federation of Teachers which states that one of the goals of Common Core is to “close the intolerable achievement gap between minority and non-minority students.” It’s much easier to close the gap by lowering standards than to raise the performance of poorly performing students and no teacher or school administrator wants to be in the position where their jobs depend on getting students to perform.
There are ideological reasons to lower standards as well. Common Core instructions tell teachers to “avoid giving any background context” to texts on the grounds that Common Core’s close reading strategy “forces students to rely exclusively on the text instead of privileging background knowledge, and levels the playing field for all.”
The ideology reason given above is to level the playing field although the argument that leaving out background information will somehow do that is ridiculous. Those making that argument should be going to school instead of designing a curriculum for schools.
Common Core tests do not emphasize getting the right answer. Instead they focus on essay questions, which makes possible grading in such a way that underperforming minority groups score as well as high performing groups.
The other goal of Common Core stated by the American Federation of Teachers is to help American students compete in the global economy. That raises the question “Is the reason for America’s poor economic performance low standards?”
Is Curriculum the Cause of America’s Poor Worldwide Education Rank?
You can have the best curriculum in the world but if there is no discipline you can’t teach it.A school staffer at Overbrook High School in Philadelphia told CBS that:
“It’s mayhem. Students are in the halls, they’re smoking in the bathroom; cigarettes, marijuana,” said a worker at the school, who asked not to be identified. “We can’t contain them and it’s really hazardous for us working and these kids are not being educated at all.”
“It’s a zoo in here. Parents really need to come up here and see what’s going on in this school because it’s ridiculous,”
Asian students who want to study are assaulted by blacks. In 2010, a federal judge found that black students at South Philadelphia High School had assaulted and harassed Asian students daily — for years but the principal said she did not call police because she did not want to “criminalize” the black students.
Laws prevent public schools from taking effective action to stop the violence. John Hood in an article for the Foundation of Economic Education wrote:
“A host of administrative decisions, court rulings, and legislative actions have created such a maze of regulations that school principals and teachers are often unable to exercise meaningful control over their schools. Furthermore, the prevailing “ethos” in the education establishment-made up of researchers, administrators, and bureaucrats-is suspicious of many forms of punishment, and exhibits a fixation with “sensitivity training” and building self-esteem among students.”
One would think that if the Obama administration was serious about improving education they would remove the regulations that interfere with classroom discipline. Instead in response to higher number of blacks being suspended than whites, President Obama issued an “executive order” which effectively placed “quotas” on school discipline based on race. If there are more disruptive blacks than Chinese in a school and you suspend the blacks you could face possible civil rights violationcharges.
David Coleman, one of the architects of Common Core said he believes there is “a massive social injustice in this country” and that education is “the engine of social justice.”
Common Core Literature and Writing books by Zaner-Bloser teach social activism to 6 year old children in first grade. Children are taught how to manipulate others by getting them angry with emotional words. Reading about this I can’t help but think how the Obama administration manipulates Americans with emotional words to get them angry at Republicans. An example that comes to mind is Obama’s accusation against Republicans that they were holding the government hostage when they blocked funding for Obamacare. A similar example of public manipulation was when the Obama administration blocked access to veteran memorials in order to make the public angry at the Republicans.
The Common Core approved book Barack Obama by Jane Sutcliffe indoctrinates children that whites mistreat black people and are racist and therefore didn’t want to vote for ‘Barack’, and only Barack can make the country better. The Common Core approved book, Barack Obama, Son of Promise, Child of Hope, shows Barack glowing with a heavenly aura.
A Common Core lesson plan blames Islamic terrorism on low self esteem. The Common Core approved text book World History devotes an entire chapter to promoting the virtues of Islam and has anti-Israel propagandaspread throughout the book. State Rep. Ritch Workman told Fox News that “kids are going to take this book as gospel and believe that Christians and Jews were murderous barbarians and thank God the Muslims came along and the world is great.”
The Common Core Science Curriculum teaches children that humans are dangerous to the planet, that man made global warming is an accepted incontrovertible fact even though it is not and that government action is required to fix global warming even though the taxes the Obama administration would like to impose on carbon dioxide producers would have a negligible effect on global warming but would have a devastating effect on a crumbling economy.
A February 2013 USDOE report that discusses measuring student attitudes, beliefs, and behavior lists desired competencies or improvement of attitudes such as “appreciation of diversity” and “recognizing bias in sources.” From the perspective of the left wing originators of Common Core conservative view points are biased and of course this is what children will be taught.
The Obama administration has already used the IRS to harass conservative groups, which raises the concern that parents of children who lack sufficient appreciation of diversity might be harassed as well. One can imagine a scenario where a child, who has some reservations about Islam, is labeled racist and his parents are determined to be the source of his racism. Perhaps separation of the child from the negative influence of his parents might be seen as a solution to the problem.
One of the reasons given for collecting data on student attitudes is to help improve their motivation. Studies have shown that students from fatherless parent families are less likely to be motivated to stay in school than those from two parent families. If the government wants to motivate students they are more likely to accomplish their goal if instead of collecting personal data on students, they reconsider welfare policies that have been shown to lead to the proliferation of single parent families and antisocial behavior.
Is a Single Curriculum better than Multiple Curricula?
The final question I will consider here is whether one single common curriculum is a good idea. Students have different abilities. Some thrive in challenging environments while others perform better in more laid back environments.
Problems of a single curriculum become problems for everyone and there is reason to believe that the experimental approaches of Common Core are problematic. Another problem of a single common curriculum is that it enables indoctrination by the Federal government on a massive scale as discussed previously. The focus of a good curriculum should be to teach critical thinking which is the opposite of indoctrination.
How to Really Improve Education
The first and most important step for improving education in the U.S. is reversing legislation that prevents discipline in the classroom. Attempts to level the playing field by bringing down performance of high achievers must be stopped. Legislators should not impose a common curriculum that makes all schools the same. Legislators should not interfere with school choice so that parents can use school vouchers to send children to the best schools for their children. Legislators should reconsider welfare policies that lead to badly behaved youth. Our government should step back and allow the free market of education to work without imposing restrictions on what teachers can teach and without passing laws that make it impossible for teachers and principals to bring peace to the classroom.
