I do not know how to title this post any other way. IN all honesty, and going strictly by definition, this is insanity. Sadly, however, it is what passes for ‘enlightened commentary’ on the Sunday ‘news’ programs. The truth is, these programs are not news; they are propaganda. In this case, I am reacting to a story I saw on CNN by Fareed Zakaria about something he called ‘information inequality.’ Here is a written version of the television telecast (I couldn’t find a video link):
Why world is overtaking America
I have no intention of analyzing Fareed’s argument. I listened long enough to realize he was trying to defend common core as a reaction to some supposed failure in education at the local level. This is insanity – period! The ignorance in America is by design, and anyone left with the necessary skills to do simple, high-school level research (at least, high-school level when I was still in school in 1984) – anyone with such basic skills can easily prove that the ignorance in this nation has been intentionally engineered. It can be proven because it can be shown that the people doing the engineering have openly bragged about doing it. If you doubt me, then just search this blog for the name John Dewey and start reading. But remember, he is just one of the many who have bragged about creating drones of our children.
However, just in case you still doubt me, I would like you to read this story and then answer a question: how and why can you expect anything but utter ignorance to result from a school system that asks its students to debate whether or not WW II actually happened, or if it is just some massive invention to influence public emotion and gain political power/wealth?
I hope you read that story, because it is asking our children to write papers about whether or not the sky is blue and water is wet. How can we possibly expect to keep up with a rational world when it is readily apparent that the people running our school system are insane?
Yes, I have nothing but contempt for those who deny the Holocaust. It is too well documented to deny. The proof still lives among us today. Those who deny reality are evil.
Yes, I have nothing but contempt for the people who are running our education system. They have openly declared that they see it as the primary vehicle by which to ‘engineer’ their utopian society by creating ‘model citizens.’ Those who seek to control others are evil — especially when they do it to children
Yes, I have contempt for the people who pretend to educate this nation through the ‘news.’ They are insane, because only someone who is insane could sit – day after day – and deliver their lies and push such absurdities as ‘information inequality.’
Finally, I have utter contempt for every individual who sees what is happening yet remains silent. They are just as insane (or evil) as the others. Only, to their crimes, we must also add cowardice.

Isaiah 5:20-30
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: 23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! 24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly: 27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken: 28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind: 29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it. 30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

Lara,
You have been reading my posts long enough to know I cite Isaiah 5:20-21 all the time. You bless me by letting me know I have not been doing so in vane.
Thank you, sister :*)
Joe,
I have seen those posts (and they tend to be some of your best), likewise, Isaiah 5:20 is quickly becoming one of my favorite bible references because it explains EVERYTHING wrong with our society in a few sentences!
Lara,
I know that it will get a lot of Christians up in arms, but if you compare Isaiah 5:20-21 to the warnings John gives about the antichrist in his letters (1, 2 and 3 John), you will notice they are saying the same thing. We have misunderstood prophecy. We should not be looking for an end time leader known as THE Antichrist. Rather, we should be looking for a spirit that dwells within the hearts of individuals which leads the individual to deny Christ and the Father, and to think of themselves as their own god. Now, if this does not describe secular humanism and the trouble we have been discussing here (Isaiah 5:20-21), I do not know what does? And since this spirit of antichrist is also called the son of perdition (i.e. destruction), and the lawlessness we see from our world today is a result of everyone doing what they think is right, we then find a further strengthening of this interpretation of ‘antichrist,’ and that then leads us to the conclusion that things are closer to the days of Noah than even many Christians realize.
