The 7 Lessons of John Taylor Gatto

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | April 16, 2016

John Taylor Gatto

It’s hard to know where to start with the amazing John Taylor Gatto. Through the marvel of technology, I have witnessed the speeches and lectures of some of our most awake and aware; including Joseph Campbell (mythology), Anthony C. Sutton (History), Carroll Quigley (History), Richard Feynman (Physics), Leonard Susskind (Physics), Milton Friedman (Economics), G. Edward Griffin (Author) and many others; yet, John Taylor Gatto is different. He is more subtle, more joyful and more broadly read. With his vast body of knowledge, from many diverse fields of study, he draws his insightful, practical conclusions, seemingly effortlessly. He is a pleasure to watch as you observe his mind clicking through his body of studies to share unpretentious knowledge and wisdom with you.

So with John, like so many other great thinkers and writers, I have been the thankful beneficiary of his great works. During my personal pursuit to discover untainted, useful information, many great people have contributed to this quest; causing me to turn around and see what was making shadows on the wall of the cave I was haplessly born into.

John was a good, loyal teacher for 30 years, until he decided to stop damaging his students: “He was named New York City Teacher of the Year in 1989, 1990, and 1991, and New York State Teacher of the Year in 1991. In 1991, he wrote a letter announcing his retirement, titled I Quit, I Think, to the op-ed pages of the Wall Street Journal, saying that he no longer wished to “hurt kids to make a living.”” – Wikipedia

John slowly discovered that rather than teaching his kids, he was in fact damaging their ability to learn and think. He was in effect implementing a regimen of social engineering devised by very familiar tax-free foundations to advance a very different agenda. I think it is important for all of us as parents and concerned citizens to discover exactly what John discovered so that we too will understand how the school systems are damaging our children and what exactly we can do to stop and reverse this damage.

John Taylor Gatto’s Resignation: I Quit. I Think

Below, John Taylor Gatto, tells you what he use to teach in school until he discovered that he was harming his students.

The first lesson I teach is confusion.
The second lesson I teach is your class position.
The third lesson I teach kids is indifference.
The fourth lesson I teach is emotional dependency.
The fifth lesson I teach is intellectual dependency.
The sixth lesson I teach is provisional self-esteem.
The seventh lesson I teach is that you can’t hide.

Here is John in his own words. I encourage you to read it in its entirety to make this real for you…

Accountable Government

Ground Zero

Everyone seems to have their pet peeves or core issues when it comes to politics: race, jobs, abortion, education, ‘fill in the blank’. I’m mostly a libertarian since I just want to be left alone and I leave almost everyone else alone to do as they please. Everyone else’s rights end where my nose begins and of course this goes both ways. Live and let live, etc. And over the years, I’ve looked at government spending and abuse. I’ve noted that the more money you give to the government, the less money and freedom for everyone else. This is always the case despite your politics. But it’s more than money, since government has a monopoly on force and violence and can do many other things that would be illegal for the average citizen. Government has set itself up with special powers, but it is really not that special since it is just a collection of people much like any corporate body. But without the special powers of violence, force and without the discipline of a balance sheet or income statement, it is not constrained by the laws of economics as are all those subject to its control. Thus, we have a powerful and potentially evil group of men riding herd over the rest of us. Without the constraint of law or our constitution, there would be nothing to slow down or stop its natural growth in power, scope and size until one day –like a tumor– it consumes the body that feeds it; and it too will die.

So my basic political formula goes like this: More power and money to the government = less power and freedom for the individual.

This is the prism I use to view my politics. Many disagree with this assessment. They feel that government is here to take care of the poor, the needy, to build roads and bridges and to make sure we all behave. The government in a real sense for these folks, is like the big Daddy or Father of the family of humanity and many in government see this as their job too. But without constraints on government the men who control government will naturally be turned over to their own delusions and desires and we all suffer. This is always the case. So what to do? Well, you could have a set of fundamental laws and principles that are immutable; designed to constrain this beast we call a government, and we have such a thing called the US Constitution. While not perfect, it has mechanisms built in for change. All laws in this country by definition must therefore be based on this founding document or they are by definition illegal. In fact, all our government officials are required to swear an oath to defend and protect this document as a requirement of their employment. So there is no one in this country who can legally take away the rights, liberties and freedoms guaranteed by this document and we are thus said to be a ‘Nation of Laws’. The laws are there to protect us all. This includes the majority and the minorities. The majority for example cannot vote to take away the rights, freedoms or the property of the minority, or even those of a single individual, no matter how popular it might be. So it is a surprise for many to discover that this country is not a democracy and never has been a democracy; because in a democracy two wolves and a sheep could vote on what to have for dinner, and the sheep likely wouldn’t fare so well. In a republic –like we have– the sheep’s rights as an individual would be protected.

But even with all these protections in law, if you have a nation of people without morals or character, you will find you have created a government in your image who likewise has no morals or character, but unlike you, this government has a monopoly on power and force and so, is no longer constrained by anything but its own selfish desires.

This is where we find ourselves today.

Part of being a moral person with character is to hold yourself and your government accountable.

This means when your government lies you into wars that kill millions of innocent people, you must take a stand and hold this government accountable.
This means when your government murders in cold blood, in broad daylight one of your presidents, you must hold this government accountable.
This means when your government spies illegally on its citizens, you must hold the government accountable.
This means when your government lies to you about the attacks on 9/11, you must hold those responsible accountable; otherwise they will conclude they can do the same thing again.

The Walled-Garden Revisited (II)

The Walled-Garden

Imagine, if you will, a vast collection of people, scurrying about doing their daily chores surrounded by walls. Within these walls lay rolling hills of green grass, tall strong oak trees, and of course fruit, wine and game, all for the taking. You and your fellows live within these walls constructed so long ago, that everyone ignores them and has just about forgotten they even exist; so much so, they have become invisible to the average man. But still, every so often, a hapless chap ventures beyond the walls and becomes raving mad. No one will have anything to do with him or even hire him to do a job because he makes no sense. No one knows for sure, where precisely the walls begin or end but by fear. The story goes that if you were to get close to the wall, fear would surly warn of your impending demise and you would quickly go mad if you did not possess the good sense to immediately turn back toward home.

Over the many years of living within the walls, there were disagreements and ruckuses and tussles, but they all stayed clearly within the confines of this walled garden; and so life was not perfect but tolerable, understandable and well-behaved within the garden.

Yet still it is necessary to remind all through education and broadcasting of the tribal knowledge we have gained from past experience. Highly-trained and trusted experts inform the masses that these walls really do not in fact exist as described; they represent only an illusion, yet warn not to get too close lest ye shall surly lose your mind.

So this is where the majority of Americans find themselves today. Even our brave and brilliant luminaries like Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin and others give homage to our wall.

So what is this wall constructed of? It is made from mythologies and cherished beliefs based on false assumptions. What are some of these beliefs? I have listed a few below, all of which are demonstrably false, yet still the majority of Americans still believe.

That America is a good and decent country trying to save democracy and freedom
That America’s wars of the 20th century were justified to save democracy and freedom
That America uses its financial and military might to spread democracy and freedom in the world
That JFK was killed by a lone gunman
That the Warren Commission Report was a true and accurate report
That the attacks on 9/11 were planned and carried out by Al Qaeda
That the 9/11 Commission Report was a true and accurate report
That the invasion of Iraq was a mistake
That the invasion of Afghanistan was to fight Al Qaeda
That the invasion of Libya was to save the Libyan people
That the war in Ukraine was caused by Putin
That the war in Syria is to save the Syrian people
That the Federal Reserve is federal and has reserves

All of the above constitute parts or bricks of the wall that surrounds our garden. There are many more such bricks but they all have one thing in common. They are all false. Provably false.

RNC Dirty Tricks

RNC’s finger prints found on deceptive email.

Deception from the RNC … and I caught ’em Red-Handed.

The RNC sent me an email today (04/09/16) pretending that the email was from:
Donald Trump News at Reagan Reports (Screen shot below)

Here is the physical name and address located at the bottom of the email (omitted from the screen shot)…

Donald Trump News
1501 Northpoint Parkway, Suite 104
West Palm Beach, FL 33407 USA
Trump Breaking News <reaganreports@reply.reaganreports.com>

Notice that the domain name in their email address contains the words Reagan Reports.

Now, how do I know it came from the RNC? Since I own my own domain and am my own email admin, I can do some very interesting things. For example, when I subscribe to any web site, I always list the website’s name as the first few characters in my email address. That way if they sell my email address, I know exactly who the original seller was. In this case the first three letters on my email are RNC, to wit… RNCpoll@<<MY DOMAIN NAME>>.com. This is a made up email address but comes to my domain in any event since it has no other place to go.

My Take on the 2016 Presidential Primary

Leave a reply

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | April 06, 2016

police-850054_640

With Cruz and Kasich still in the game, Trump will not be able to achieve the 1,237 required delegates to win on the first vote at the Republican Convention to be held July 18–21 in Cleveland, Ohio. On the first vote the delegates won are committed to vote for the primary winners in their district, state, etc. based on the particular rules of the state RNC apparatus. If Trump does not have the requisite 1,237 votes on this first ballot, it goes to a second vote. On the second vote, however, the delegates are uncommitted so can vote for whomever they choose or the party bosses tell them to vote for. Most establishment Republicans do not want Trump, so a second vote is likely the end of the Trump candidacy. We could see a 3rd and 4th vote before a candidate is chosen. Right now, rule 40 –which was designed to stop Ron Paul in 2012– only allows those who have won 8 states to be considered. If this rule is not changed, the only two who can be considered are Trump and Cruz. Expect this rule to be changed just before the convention, allowing anyone to be considered, including Kasich. On the second vote, it is likely to be Cruz since there is such fear and hatred for Trump’s populous policies and the fact that the RNC and others cannot control or manipulate Trump. The RNC does not like Cruz because of his grandstanding in the Senate, but Cruz has been compromised and can therefore be controlled by blackmail. Additionally, Cruz has very deep ties into the Bush Crime family so that is a plus. The power brokers at the RNC will run an endgame to insert a key operative into the VP slot and the cake is baked.

Now the question is, can a Cruz campaign win against a Hillary or a Bernie? I believe it is likely that the Trump supporters will feel cheated and thus either not vote or vote in opposition for the DNC candidate to show their displeasure to the RNC. The RNC has been fully uncloaked by this fiasco and will be history. The RNC knows this, but a Hillary or a Bernie president is much better for the RNC than a Trump in any event and so we will have business as usual. The only benefit I can see in having another Democrat in the White House at noon on January 20th, 2017, is that when the massive financial bubble finally bursts, the Democrats will be blamed.

I’m not sure if this Republic based on the US Constitution and the rule of law can survive the criminality we are witnessing in every branch of our government, but there will be a reset of the economy and of the current political structure. The only question for me is what will this new structure look like? History has taught us that after a major reset (excepting 1776), the new regime is almost always much, much worse than the prior. We live in very interesting times. Buckle your seat-belts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

NWO Update

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | April 03, 2016

human-65930_640 The US/NATO’s underhanded destruction of Ukraine and MENA (Middle East & North Africa) has made it abundantly clear to anyone not fooled by the Western Media disinformation campaign, that US/NATO cannot be trusted. They have completed the same projects; the same way; too many times; too quickly to hide behind the protection of the ‘plausible deniability’ claim except for the profoundly uniformed American citizen. Since US/NATO has been caught red-handed using virtually identical covert operations to destabilize each of these US-targeted countries; China, Russia, Iran and anyone with an independent geopolitical policy, have taken sharp notice and have therefore been well-schooled in these common US/NATO statecraft techniques, and thus made strikingly aware of the real US geopolitical agenda of a mono-polar hegemony. China, Russia and Iran for example have no intention of rolling over for this rabid Empire of chaos, death and destruction. China and Russia have used the past 10 years or so making real improvements to their military –as Russia demonstrated in Syria; at the same time, the US has continued unabated its incestuous and corrupt practice of spending massive funds on unworkable and unneeded technology (for example, It is estimated that the worthless F-35 program will cost US taxpayers more than one trillion dollars in wasted money and effort); not for defense, but to line the pockets of their pals; American national security be damned. In the meantime, Russia and China have learned how to manufacture high-tech, highly-functional weapons of war at a fraction of the cost.

Now that Russia and China have witnessed the repeated lawlessness of the US policy of destabilization and regime change, they no longer contemplate a partner that they can learn to work with, rather they are now preparing to protect themselves from this rabid superpower; and, perhaps how to confront and put it down. Yes, with the EU facade crumbling, the threat of a Trump presidency and the refusal of Russia and China to commit national suicide, the NWO psychopaths have their work cut out for them as the idiom goes. There is also a global awakening that is eroding the NWO’s well-laid plans at almost every gated juncture, event or milestone in their rush to install their world domination project.

Now, James Corbett goes one step further. He describes the analysis above as 2D Chess while the real game is played at the 3D level, or as he terms it 3D Chess. His rationale is that all the oligarchs in each of these power blocks have much more in common with each other than they do with the people they supposedly represent, so the real game is going on at that level, out of sight of the average analyst. The three major power blocks would be 1) Russia-Oligarchs; 2) China-Oligarchs and 3) the Anglo-American-Oligarchs consisting of US and the UK elite. So the real game is being played at this level, and my analysis above is merely window dressing. Not definitive, but possible so we shall keep an eye on both the 2D and 3D chess game that is unfolding on the grand geopolitical chessboard.

BTW, while this game is being played, millions of innocent men, women and children have lost their lives and millions more are suffering horrifically in the wake of this cruel villainy. This is a game only psychopaths can truly enjoy.

Note: The House of Saud would be considered a 4th oligarch block, but since the Anglo-American Establishment holds a ‘Sword Of Damocles‘ over their ill-gotten throne –not by a single horsehair– but by their proven strategy of tension called Gladio, (or ‘Sword’ in Italian). With little effort, the Anglo-American Oligarchs could easily run a successful Operation Gladio against the House of Saud as they have done to so many others like Ukraine and Libya.

No matter who you are supporting –if anyone– for president, it is abundantly clear to anyone with an IQ above that of a stalk of broccoli, both the RNC and the DNC are unabashedly voiding the votes of their party members so that they can steal their respective nominations. This is not a theory, but an in your face conspiracy better known under RICO as Organized Crime and Racketeering. The media may want you to believe that this is acceptable behavior or that a few old boys are misbehaving but this is clearly a crime of deception and misrepresentation. It is a fraud. This is your bellwether notice that this country no longer belongs to the US Citizens but to someone else. This is also your notice that the US Constitution is not worth the paper it is written on until we as a nation rise up and hold these criminals accountable. Wake up and smell the coffee.

TRUMP

Leave a reply

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | Mar 30, 2016

Trump

WALL: Am I for a wall on our Southern Border? Not necessarily. I would be happy if our Border Patrol Agents were permitted to do their jobs; and I think it is important for any nation that intends on remaining a nation, to know who exactly is entering their country. Even if a wall is never built, Trump’s wall represents a symbol, a chess piece in the grand globalist game; it says that the days of the globalist are ending; it says no more open borders; it is a gutsy, in-your-face challenge to the establishment power structure that says no more, this charade of yours must end. The globalists are freaking.

TRADE: Am I for Free Trade? Hell, yeah! I am for free trade that is fair trade. Am I for trade agreements like TPP that cedes our sovereignty to an unelected bunch of bureaucrats who report only to cabals of international banks and corporations? Nope.

DEFENSE: Am I for a strong defense? Yep. Defense is the operative word; not offense. I am not for going all around the globe kicking everyone’s ass I see. I am not for foreign entanglements all across the globe which serve only to enrich a select group of military contractors and their bought and paid for pals in congress.

NATO: Has outlived its original purpose and has become a tool of the CFR, the RIIA and their geopolitical agenda.

PUTIN: Am I for working with Putin and Russia? Yes! Putin has proven he is the only adult in this crazy game of chicken our Pentagon planners are playing. There is mutual respect between these two.

VETS: Am I for taking very good care of our Vets? You bet’cha! That’s part of the price of waging all these pointless, illegal and unconstitutional undeclared wars. We need to own this.

FED: Am I for auditing the Fed? Duh.

ACTING PRESIDENTIAL (a.k.a. being PC): Since we are all so tired of professional politicians lying to us with their nice sounding words, it would be nice to have someone who was not afraid to say what was on his mind, even if it ruffled a few feathers.

FINANCIAL ACUMEN: Since we have fifteen hundred trillion in derivatives floating around the globe, it would be nice to have a president who actually knew what a derivative was. Since we have $19 trillion in debt and $101 trillion in unfunded liabilities, it would be nice to have a president who has actually read and understands balance sheets and income statements.

HATE: Trump’s list of haters are the same people who are trying to destroy this country and control the world: The Globalists, George Soros, the DNC/RNC duopoly, the Bilderbergers and the Davos crowd.

CAUTION: Will any of the Presidential Candidates be able to deliver on all or most of their promises? No. Why not? Because we have an entrenched structure of special interests and bureaucrats who control the mechanisms of government. Until you change this, there will be no fundamental change. The private CFR for example controls the US foreign policy and dictates our geopolitics. The private Federal Reserve for example can do whatever it wants irrespective of the President or the Congress. The secretive CIA and NSA keeps everyone in line using blackmail or worse.

P.S. Just Trump mentioning the ‘Wall’, sends shivers of fear and loathing down the spines of the Globalists since that would derail a major part of their plans; likewise, Trump’s comments on the so called trade agreements would set them back decades. I like that a lot; but what I’m curious about is the possibility of a real investigation that would expose their role in 9/11. Trump is a builder, a NYC builder and knows full-well that three buildings could not have been brought down by two planes; free-fall no less. Trump knows that this was a controlled demolition that had to be pre-planned months in advance. I bet the Globalists are wetting their pants over this. On the other hand, this might be a grand opportunity for Trump to make the deal of his life or for his life. Sit back and enjoy the full-on offensive as the Globalists and their hired hands uncloak and try to wreck Trump’s assault on their one world government Utopia.

Why Vote?

Many of my astute friends make fun of anyone who is stupid enough to even vote.

Why Vote?

I think their reasoning goes something like this:

Why vote when your vote doesn’t count
Voter fraud
Public manipulation
Pre-selected candidates by the party structure: you have no real choice
They select and then you choose from their rigged selection
Manipulation of the nomination process
Manipulation by the press
Why vote when by voting you are giving credibility to a corrupt system.
Voting is like voting on whose house to burn down.

These are all good reasons not to vote, and so they conclude those who vote are just being bamboozled by the entrenched system, ergo they are stupid.

It’s really hard to argue against their analysis based on history. While the DNC and RNC differ around the edges on divisive issues used to engender support, they are substantially the same on many important issues: More spending, more government, more corruption, more wars, etc. At the same time candidate’s promises are broken on a systemic and regular basis. One side will blame the other for this or that, but if you do a detailed analysis, you will find that both sides are colluding behind closed doors to offer each other cover. Texas Senator John Cornyn is a good example. He put on his boots and cowboy hat and campaigned telling Texas that he was against ObamaCare and would make sure it was repealed. Later we find out through a sneaky cloture vote he in effect voted to fully fund ObamaCare. This cloture vote gave him the cover he needed to maintain to the public that he was against ObamaCare, yet the effect of his vote was to fully fund Obamacare. This sort of thing goes on all the time on both sides and is prearranged out of site of the voters and they know no difference. The Republicans said that they needed the congress to stop Obama. We gave them the congress in 2010 to stop Obama’s unconstitutional usurpation of our rights and our constitution; only to watch them give in to Obama’s slightest whim or desire. Rubio, once the Tea Party darling turned on them once in office and did the exact opposite of what he promised on immigration. Rubio is not the only one.

So each election year is like a grand football game or the super bowl where we get to root for our team Red or Blue. We ignore faults of our team and accentuate the faults of the opposing team; and to make this dance really sad, most of these inflammatory faults are completely irrelevant; provided, du jour, by our master-manipulators in the media and political think tanks. Surly they laugh at us!

American Politics basically boils down to whose lies you like better…do you like the Democrat lies…or, do you like the Republican lies? Once you take sides, you turn your brain off and start yelling at each other until one side gets tired. After a short rest the cycle starts all over. Meanwhile, whilst you are busy passing your time with this popular American sport, your masters in D.C. are taking everything you own. This is the game.

And then along comes Trump. Is he another Marco Rubio or a Mitt Romney or is he different? We shall see.
