I’m not quite sure when progressive indoctrination replaced actual civics here in the United States.  I’m not sure anyone is because this transformation was gradual and stealthy.  In an attempt to research that point for this article I searched for the following phrase on Google: “when did social studies replace civics.”  Here is the most informative quote the anti oracles at Google provided:

Until the 1960s, it was common for American high school students to have three separate courses in civics and government. But civics offerings were slashed as the curriculum narrowed over the ensuing decades, and lost further ground to “core subjects” under the NCLB-era standardized testing regime

The response was just what I expected.  The transition began in the 1960s, when the Marxists began their transformation of the United States from a Constitutional Republic into a socialist democracy.  When I started grade school in the late 1970s the class was called social studies but civics was still at the core of the subject.  When I ended grade school it was more social studies and less civics.  That trend continued through my high school years.  When I attended the University of Massachusetts real civics was difficult to find.

The NCLB mentioned in the quote is the abbreviation for No Child Left Behind, one of George W. Bush’s crowning achievements.  Until Obama’s Common Core came along it was the worst thing to ever happen to American Public education.

It is extraordinarily safe to say that progressive indoctrination is now completely out of control here in the United States, at all levels.  It has infected all subject.  It has taken so many different forms, all of which are meant to turn every single student into an ignorant, unquestioning, and obedient slave.  The political left does not want educated free citizens.  The more ignorant, immoral, and unhappy we are the easier it will be for the Democrats to control us and all aspects of our lives

This quote from a Benjamin Rush Essay written in 1786 provided the inspiration for my article this week.  It appeared in my Facebook news feed in the form of a meme shared by the Atlas Society.

Freedom can exist only in the society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights, and where learning is confined to a few people, liberty can be neither equal nor universal.

James Madison wrote something very similar in a letter in written in 1822.

A popular government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”

My favorite founding father, Thomas Jefferson, wrote this to Charles Yancey, 6 January 1816.

 if a nation expects to be ignorant & free, in a state of civilisation, it expects what never was & never will be. the functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty & property of their constituents. there is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.

Unless the American people seize back control of our entire educational system real soon, we will no longer be a free country.

Senators Romney, Murkowski, and Collins have all announced that they will vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson, Joe Biden’s insanely radical nominee to the Supreme Court.   Thanks to the support of these three traitors, Judge Jackson will be confirmed.  This betrayal will do great harm to the American people.

A lot of attention on social media was focused on Judge Jackson statement where she rather foolishly argued that she could not provide a definition for the word woman.  I for one had a lot of fun sharing memes about that farce on Facebook.  That statement was exceptionally woke and cringe worthy, rather than dangerous.

The following exchange with Senator Cruz, as documented in this tweet, which took place during the confirmation hearings, is exceptionally dangerous, and should utterly disqualify her from the Supreme Court.

That one statement should bring chills to each and every American.  It shows a callous disregard for one of the most important founding principles of the United States.  This founding principle is enshrined in the Declaration of Independence through this most crucial paragraph.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

It is impossible to overstate the importance of the concept of God-given Natural Rights when it comes to understanding the meaning of the United States Constitution   Our Constitution was written specifically to protect the natural rights of each and every individual. 

Those seeking to turn the United States from a Constitutional Republic into a Socialist Democracy see the entire concept of natural rights, granted to each and every individual, as a serious impediment to their grand scheme.  They wish to dismantle our entire constitutional system, which is based on individualism, and replace it with a system based on collectivism.  Having Judge Jackson sitting on the Supreme Court will make those plans much easier to execute for the Democrats and these three traitorous RINO Senators will vote yes on her confirmation.

I have always been most proud of the fact that I am truly a unique individual.  I have never fit in anywhere and never wanted to.  The people who know me say that I am way, way out there in my own little universe.  I don’t march to the beat of a different drum, I wander aimlessly to music that only I can hear in my head. 

From the beginning of this great nation, individuality was most highly prized.  Rugged individualism was one of the cornerstones that the United States was built upon.  The Constitution was written specifically to protect the God-given natural rights of every single individual in the United States. 

Classical Liberalism, which is the precise opposite of modern liberalism, is the philosophy that was closely held by the founding fathers of the United States.  They infused that philosophy into the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution so thoroughly that it is the lifeblood of the United States.

Libertarianism is the modern equivalent of Classical Liberalism. That is the philosophy that is at the very core of my being because no philosophy is more individualistic.  According to Libertarianism and Classical Liberalism, each and every individual is free to do whatever they want to as long as they do not hurt any individual or interfere with the rights of any other individual. 

In a true Classically Liberal society, such as the United States was meant to be, each and every individual is free to live their lives as they wish, as long as do not hurt anyone or interfere with the rights of anyone.  As long as we do not hurt others or interfere with the rights of others, the government at all levels must leave us alone to live our lives as we wish, neither restraining or helping us in any way.

Today the United States is as far away from being a Classically Liberal society as can possibly be because this nation has been infected by various forms of collectivist philosophies, in ever increasing amounts, for more than 100 years.  Collectivism is the very opposite of individualism. Those utopian philosophies, when instituted, turn any society into a hell where any individual, or group of individuals, can be sacrificed by any government, for any reason.  This is most often done in the name of the “greater good.”

The Democratic Party has been completely taken over by collectivists of a socialist variety.  Since the installation of Joe Biden, thanks to the stolen 2020 presidential election, the Democrats have nearly completed their transformation of the United States into collectivist hell hole.

Rather than individualism, collectivist mob rule by brain washed masses is now the predominant culture of United States. 

The instinctual roots of collectivism and dangers of those misguided philosophies are discussed in this article: How Compulsive Conformity Can Get People Killed (thefederalist.com)

In primitive environments, the herd instinct serves as a means of survival. If some sense danger and rush to safety, all follow. But how does such a conformity impulse work in a high-tech society like ours? It doesn’t really.

Sure, a certain level of conformity is normal for a society to function. But an unchecked conformity impulse in a technological society like ours acts more like slow-motion suicide than a survival mechanism. We think we’re saving ourselves by conforming, but in the long run the opposite is true.

In fact, our instinct to conform has become a weapon tyrants use to control us by threatening social isolation for those who don’t obey. This is especially the case when a monopoly of tech overlords can broadcast propaganda to the herd, instantly and globally. In such cases there is no “wisdom of crowds.” When the masses obey the propaganda to avoid social punishment, they only prop up propaganda and thereby spread social turmoil.

The lack of resistance to the liberty destroying mandates and lockdowns imposed to combat the Wuhan Flu here in the United States was rather appalling to me.  This lack of resistance was brought about by decades of collectivist indoctrination and the destruction of our true history.

If we were still a nation of nonconforming nonconformists like me, the Wuhan Flu restrictions, mandates, lockdowns, and other nonsense would have ended rather quickly.  Unfortunately for all of us, the United States is now a nation of conforming sheeple.

When the truth is finally allowed to come to the surface about the true nature of the mRNA vaccines that have been authorized to combat the Wuhan Flu there will be an onslaught of outrage, the likes that has never been seen before. 

We are a long way from the truth actually getting out because there has been a concerted effort, which originates deep inside the Biden regime, to bury the devastating truth about these deeply flawed and dangerous “vaccines.”

The lid did slip off slightly this past week when the New York Times, of all sources, actually published an article noting that the Centers for Disease Control is sitting on most of the data it collects about the effectiveness of the Covid vaccines.  I would have much preferred to quote the original New York Times article, however, I was unable to access the article because I refuse to subscribe to that liberal rag.  Instead, I had to quote this article: CDC Tells New York Times It Hid Covid Data For Political Reasons (thefederalist.com)

According to a recent headline from The New York Times, “the CDC isn’t publishing large portions of the COVID data it collects.” That headline downplays what the article in fact reveals:

Two full years into the pandemic, the agency leading the country’s response to the public health emergency has published only a tiny fraction of the data it has collected, several people familiar with the data said.

When the CDC actually publishes data, it very carefully cherry picks the data that fits the narrative while hiding the rest.  The CDC hides this data because the truth would be obvious, and they believe we must be protected from it.

The article says when the Centers for Disease Control “published the first significant data on the effectiveness of boosters in adults younger than 65…it left out the numbers for a huge portion of that population: 18- to 49-year-olds, the group least likely to benefit from extra shots.”

“The agency has been reluctant to make those figures public,” according to the Times, “because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective.”

The cover up by the CDC is quite elaborate.

After “several inquiries from The New York Times,” CDC unexpectedly decided to publish its data on the risks of hospitalization and death from both unvaccinated and vaccinated Americans, with or without booster dosing. But it did so in a manner that obscures younger individuals’ overall Covid risks, which is very low, instead attempting to force a comparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals’ hospitalization. The exact data about Covid risks by specific age has not been released in any graphical or easily viewable form anywhere.

This rationale for deliberately hiding government-collected effectiveness data was even confirmed by the CDC’s spokeswoman, Kristen Nordlund. This taxpayer-funded agency didn’t want to give taxpayers the full picture of vaccine effectiveness—for their own good.

This article proves that the Department of Defense under Joe Biden is engaged in a cover up of devastating neurological issues caused by the vaccines:  Military Doctor’s Testimony: Ordered by High-Level Command to Keep Quiet on Vaccine Issues (thefederalistpapers.org)

An Army flight surgeon said she was ordered not to discuss military medical data when giving testimony in a case regarding a Navy commander who refused to receive a COVID shot.

Dr. Theresa Long testified COVID shots were resulting in members of the military developing demyelination of the central nervous system

When asked during her testimony about data in the DMED, Long, a lieutenant colonel, replied, “I have been ordered not to answer that question.”

“Ordered by who?” queried Judge Steven Merryday of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division. Long said she was told by high-level command not to bring up military data in her testimony.

According to the testimony documented in this article the Covid vaccines even harm the immune system.

In testimony, Chambers said 75 to 80 percent of military members got COVID despite having had two shots. Among the unvaccinated, the infection rate was 15 percent.


This article discloses the actual mechanisms in the Covid vaccines that are causing harm.

According to Tankersly, the COVID shots are causing injuries due to a required lipid nanoparticle as a delivery system to keep RNA in the shots from quickly degrading. The LNP-RNA combination sidesteps the body’s immune system and causes inflammation. That can result in compromising the body’s natural immunity.

Fortunately for us a system for reporting adverse reactions to vaccines existed before the advent of the Covid vaccines, the COVID Vaccine Data (openvaers.com).  The data reported there shows a frightening level of adverse reactions to the Covid vaccines.  The actual number of adverse reactions is most likely much higher.  It has been reported by many sources that the actual number of adverse reactions to any vaccine is under reported by at least a factor of 10. 

The Mainstream Media completely ignores the adverse reaction database and social media suppresses it through their phony fact checks. 

The fact check charade is nothing but an elaborate system to suppress the truth.  If you earn too many “fact checks” your account is restricted.  I recently earned two 90 day stints on the Facebook naughty list for sharing the truth.

You might be wondering how bad the is truth is.  Take a look at this graph from COVID Vaccine Data (openvaers.com).
