Philanthropy -- or self-interest?
As most of us understand it, true giving is ideally without strings or benefit to the giver.
When John D. Rockefeller, Sr. died, leaving his heirs enough money that they could have paid off 75% of the United States' debt, instead
they set to work giving away the money with strings attached, including launching the United Nations and many other causes that suited
their social goals; there's a partial list at far right of this page.

Friends, a lot of us have spent a
lot of time trying to figure out
how we reached this place where
the feds are nationalizing our
local public schools in a climate
of much else being nationalized
and globalized under our noses.
What a relief it is to finally have
some names and a simple time
line.
The challenge is that because the
path has been both labrynthine
and long -- a century in the
making -- it's been hard to
explain in relatively few words.
Recently when a Tea Party
organizer told his membership
that he'd invited me to talk to
them about local public schools,
he sent an email with the
tantalizing promise that I'd "make
your head explode." Here, then,
at right is the abbreviated version
guaranteed NOT to make your
head explode.
But did our problems really
start in the U.S. in 1913?
No, of course not; 1913 is when
a formal apparatus was
established with national and
global connections. But before
that there was . . . .
France (1762)
Former diplomat Charlotte
Iserbyt in The Deliberate
Dumbing Down of America
credits Jean-Jacques Rousseau's
Social Contract (in Emile/1762)
as laying the groundwork for a
child-centered 'permissive
education' in which teachers
'should avoid strict discipline and
tiresome lessons.'...Both
Rousseau and his contemporary,
Swiss educator Johann Heinrich
Pestalozzi, believed that the
'whole child' should be educated
by 'doing,' and that religion
should not be a guiding principle
in education, a theme...repeated
over the next 238 years."
U.S.A. (1786)
Declaration of Independence
signer, Pennsylvania's Benjamin
Rush, wrote that:
England (1862)
"The first experiment with
outcome-based education (OBE)
was conduced in England
in 1862. Teacher opposition
resulted in abandonment of the
experiment....Both OBE and
'Payment for Results' are based
on teacher accountability
and require teaching to the test,
the results of which are to be
'measured for accountability
purposes." (Ibid.)

Mr. Magoo, Boy Robin and Dr. No!

1913: The Rockefeller Foundation established. The Rockefellers -- aided by their
strategist, Colonel Edward House -- helped elect Woodrow Wilson as US President and to
establish the Federal Reserve System (modeled by Paul "Daddy Warbucks" Warburg after the
Bank of England). Rockefeller interests give us the League of Nations, the United Nations, the
International Monetary Fund, the Trilateral Commission, The Americas Society / Council of the
Americas, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg; also: Asia Society, The Population Council,
Group of Thirty, World Economic Forum, the Brookings Institute, the Peterson Institute and the
Club of Rome. Because they carry official-sounding names, many Americans including the well
educated and well informed are under the assumption they're somehow connected to the US federal
government.
MONEY: David Rockefeller controls money interests, de-industrializes America (see greybar below
left) starting in the 1960s, continues work on regionalism and population issues among others.
POLITICS: George Soros breaks the Bank of England, helps get Mr. Obama elected, is involved
now in PetroGas, etc.
MECHANISM: Bill Gates via Microsoft provides the computers/networks.
IDEOLOGY: Rockefeller, Soros & Gates are all aligned with the idea of one world government
based not on individual or national rights but on elitism: wealthy & intellectuals control the world
show.
ALSO: Warren Buffett aligns with Gates, after betting against the dollar:
FOUNDATIONS (501(c) corporations) are established allowing wealthy individuals to push their
own agendas directly with the government, bypassing the legislative process.
THE DUMBING DOWN & NATIONALIZATION OF AMERICAN PUBLIC EDUCATION:
The schools are dumbed down by bribing powers that be (Congress, state legislatures, local
superintendents and school boards) to accept faulty curriculums guaranteed to make education
delivery fail thus making them ripe for takeover by the feds -- which is
now being done for suprisingly little money but the promise of more, a la
Eli Broad via a subjective reckoning. National standards are introduced.
The next step, as outlined by former IBM chair Lou Gerstner (at far right
here) will be the consolidation of our 13,900 local school districts into
70, to be run not by local elected officials but out of the White House's
back yard via the United States Department of Education. We've already
got a middle education layer in place throughout America (often named
something like regional education service centers; in Michigan they're
intermediate school districts, in Alabama they're in-service centers, etc.)
complete with big new buildings, ready to serve as distribution/
administrative centers for the US DE -- interesting transformations for
what started out in most states as shacks for housing audio-visual equipment so school districts
could share expenses. Conservatives are led down the primrose path by the false promises
vouchers/choice and charters hold; both will be controlled not by elected officials but by individuals
receiving money from the government.
2008: A dumbed down populace is in place, with the voting age lowered to 18, so that young
people who can't tell you what 8 x 7 is without a calculator vote based on emotions (hope) and
pizazz. A president who has not convinced a lot of us that he really even likes America is elected
and quickly moves to take over weakened US industries one by one: automotive, banking, health,
education.
NEXT, EXECUTIVE BRANCH-CONTROLLED STANDING ARMIES?
The kid with a nightstick in Philadelphia at the Nov. 2008 presidential election polling place was a
forerunner; Mr. Obama has also quietly been bringing Hamas families to America. There's also the
Ready Reserve in the new Healthcare bill. (More coming tonight.)
Voila!
Kruschev told us, "We shall destroy you from within."
SOLUTIONS: Yes, there are plenty.
Helps to remember that most colonials were not engaged in the American Revolution, preferring to
live their lives in relative comfort apart from the conflict with the world's greatest superpower of the
time.

Questions reporters
& others ask most:
Q1: When did this grass-
roots check register
project start, and why?
A1: We compiled the first
national roster on October
1, 2009. There were
several precipitating
incidents, including this; it
was clear that
administrators, lobbyists
and vendors didn't like
public records requests.
Q2: How many school
districts are now online in
how many states?
A2: As of March 2010
there are over 800 in 36
states.
Q3: How quickly has this
grown?
A3: When we first started
asking districts to
voluntarily post, there
were only a handful in a
handful of states posting.
Q4: How can I find out if
my district is online? Are
any in my state online?
A4: You can look them up
on these rosters:
o Alabama
o Alaska-Louisiana
o Maine-Tennessee
o Texas
o Texas financials
o Utah-Wyoming
Q5: How do I make my
district put its checks
online?
A5: Unless we're
dictators we can't make
anybody do anything -- but
we can persuade. Here
are some easy to follow
directions based on
treating your schools as
you'd like them to treat
you. (The Golden Rule
really does work.) Just
like in baking or anything
else involving special
skills or plans, the steps
we've found that work are
successful 100% of the
time when followed as
scripted; as with making
pastry, shortcuts lead to
failure.
Q6: Why don't you just
pass a law?
Q6: Have you ever tried
getting a law passed? As
the Texas Public Policy
Foundation and similar
groups elsewhere have
learned, the folks who
stand to benefit the least
from public ed financial
transparency are a very
active lobbying force,
especially in larger states
where more money is
involved in public
education. (With just 17
school districts, only
Delaware has a state law
requiring schools to post
their checks online.)a

| President Barack Obama, accompanied by Education Secretary Arne Duncan, speaks to the media after a discussion with 6th grade students at Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church (VA), Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2010. (AP) |
| Only Texas -- thanks to Governor Rick Perry, Education Commissioner Robert Scott, and our State Board of Education -- all supported by those who cherish individual freedoms and local control of our school districts -- has had the courage among the 50 states to stand firm against the power grab by the United States Department of Education, the school equivalent of what Mr. Obama's crew is trying to do with healthcare. As with healthcare, Race to the Top's national curriculum standards have less to do with education and more to do with being a vehicle for increasing federal control. |
| Bringing you the information and tools you need in order to improve public education and lower taxes and spending; during the past two decades of the voucher debate an entire generation has grown up in the public school system. If you don't think this is important look at the Nov. 2008 election where folks voted based on emotions and hope rather than facts. Let's put a stop to the school-to-prison pipeline -- and keep our public schools locally run, strong and free.. |

| De-Industrialization of the U.S., Growth of World Regionalism Richard Day, MD, medical director of Rockefeller- sponsored Planned Parent- hood, told a meeting of Pittsburgh pediatricians in March 1969 that American industry will be sabotaged and shown to be uncompetitive. He said: “The stated plan was that different parts of the world would be assigned different roles of industry and commerce in a unified global system. The continued preeminence of the United States and the relative independence and self- sufficiency of the United States would have to be changed… in order to create a new structure, you first have to tear down the old, and American industry was one example of that. Each part of the world will have a specialty and thus become inter-dependent, he said. The US will remain a center for agriculture, high tech, communications, and education but heavy industry would be “transported out.” Among Dr. Day's other comments, according to the late Lawrence Dunegan, a Pittsburgh pediatrician who attended the meeting and -- despite Day's admonition to the contrary -- took the notes that are the source of the following: |
- The US goes off the
gold standard. - Environmentalism
helps drive industry
from US. - Planned Parenthood
diminishes the value
of the individual. - God is removed from
our national dialogue.

| Rather than dismantling the US Department of Education as he said he wanted to do, "during the Reagan administration all of the reform ground- work was laid for what later became America 2000/ Goals 2000 and ultimately the No Child Left Behind Act." (SOURCE--Charlotte Iserbyt) Q: What interests were so powerful that President Reagan's mind could be changed on so fundamental an issue as an unconstitutional US DE? |
| International Baccalaureate: This UN-originating European-based education system promotes globalism over US citizenship. More here and here. Charter Schools: The good idea about charters as schools where the average parent might have a choice in directing what kind of curriculum their kids study -- hence its early embrace by conservatives -- has been co-opted by the federal government and the liberal progressive education establishment preparatory to their takeover of any schools receiving tax dollars. The charter school system has also allowed citizens of other nations to push their own national interests at the expense of American taxpayers, such as the Gulen movement's 25 Texas Harmony charters. Put another way: Anything Bill Gates, Arne Duncan and Mr. Obama are aligned on -- well, say, adios, muchachas. s/Sc |

Cuddy: Dialectics, Rockefellers, and Population Control 15) 1959---Rockefeller Brothers Fund (for whom a young Henry Kissinger has worked) publishes The Mid-Century Challenge to U.S. Foreign Policy, in which one reads: "We cannot escape, and indeed should welcome, the task which history has imposed on us. This is the task of helping to shape a new world order in all its dimensions---spiritual, economic, political, social."... 16) 1968---James Simon Kunen's The Strawberry Statement is published and includes a report from a meeting of the radical Students for a Democratic Society, which indicated they "were offered ESSO (Rockefeller) money to make a lot of radical commotion so they (left wing of ruling class) can look more in the center as they move more to the left."... 17) March 11, 1969---Vice President of Planned Parenthood-World Population Frederick Jaffe's "Activities Relevant to the Study of Population Policy for the U.S." is printed containing a memo to Population Council president Bernard Berelson. It includes examples of proposed measures to reduce U.S. fertility, such as (a) encourage increased homosexuality, (b) fertility control agents in water supply, (c) encourage women to work, (d) abortion and sterilization on demand, and (e) make contraception truly available and accessible to all.... 20) 1970---David Rockefeller becomes chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) until 1985. During this time, Rhodes scholar Richard Gardner will write "The Hard Road to World Order" in the CFR's FOREIGN AFFAIRS (April 1974), in which he will advocate that "an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece-by-piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault."... 22) August 10, 1973---THE NEW YORK TIMES publishes an article by David Rockefeller praising "the social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership," despite the fact that tens of millions of innocent people have been slaughtered by the Communist dictatorship there.... 25) 1973---THE SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION by John D. Rockefeller III is published and applauds sexual liberation and the "humanistic revolution" while disparaging "old-fashioned nationalism."... 26) 1974---CFR chairman David Rockefeller (and other globalists) encourage David R. Young to form in early 1975 Oxford Analytica, which will be the first private-sector, overt, global intelligence network. Among its clients will be the U.N., NATO, the World Bank, Chase Manhattan Bank, Bechtel, ChevronTexaco, Shell Oil, IBM, etc. Among its international advisory board will be Rhodes scholar and former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley as well as James O'Toole who is Mortimer J. Adler Senior Fellow at The Aspen Institute. And among its members will be Rick Warren, mega-church pastor and author of THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE, who is also a member of the CFR.... 29) 1975---Rockefeller Foundation president John Knowles in the annual report states: "The web of interdependence is tightening. We are one world and there will be one future---for better or for worse---for us all. Central to a new ethic of making less more is controlled economic growth which conserves scarce resources, provides equitable distribution of income and wealth....It is also necessary to control fertility rates at the replacement level and to achieve zero population growth as rapidly as possible.".. 30) November 1977---The Soviet NEW TIMES reports that David Rockefeller just sent a message to Kremlin leaders saying: "My congratulations on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the October Revolution."

- Kids would spend more time
in schools, but in many
schools they wouldn't learn
anything. They'll learn some
things, but not as much as
formerly. - Schooling would be
prolonged...through the
school year. - To get what originally had
been in a bachelor's
program would now require
advanced degrees and more
schooling. So that a lot of
school time would be just
wasted time. - Schools would become not
a place of childhood but the
hub of the community. - There will be a climate of
constant disorienting
change. - Education would be lifelong.
Adults would be going to
school. There'll always be
new information that adults
must have to keep up. When
you can't keep up anymore,
you're too old. This was
another way of letting older
people know that the time
had come for them to move
on and take the demise pill.

| ORIGINS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKING SYSTEM By Joan Veon When America was founded, there were great and serious debates over who should control the monetary system of our new country. While President Washington was chosen by unanimous vote, he appointed a number of constitutional advisers. Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson believed in the capacity of the common people for self-government. Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, an aristocrat by birth and breeding and connected to the Tory element of the Revolution, believed our monetary system should be like that of England's with a private corporation -- central bank (Bank of England). Washington accepted the views of Hamilton and signed a bill into law creating our first central bank (The Coming Battle, M.W. Walbert, 1899, republished 1977, 3). When Congress refused to renew the Bank's charter in 1811, the War of 1812 ensued, and in 1816 Congress re-chartered the bank with a capital stock of $35M. "From 1816 to 1828, it was the sole arbiter of the financial affairs of the nation, both public and private. Its power in politics was immense and it swayed elections as well" (Walbert, 11). Senator Benton of Missouri thoroughly understood the means by which the bank had obtained its mastery over the commerce and industry of the nation and at the session of Congress presented a resolution in the Senate to the effect that the charter should not be renewed (Walbert,12). Senator Benton said, The government itself ceases to be independent, it ceases to be safe when the national currency is at the will of a company [Bank of the United States, now Federal Reserve]. The government can undertake no great enterprise, neither war nor peace, without the consent and co- operation of that company; it cannot count its revenues six months ahead without referring to the action of that company -- its friendship or its enmity, its concurrence or opposition -- to see how far that company will permit money to be scares or to be plentiful; how far it will let the money system go on regularly or throw it into disorder; how far it will suit their interest or policy. People are not safe when such a company has such power. The temptation is too great, the opportunity too easy, to put up or put down prices, to make and break fortunes, to bring the whole community upon its knees to the Neptunes who preside over the flux and reflux of paper. All property is at their mercy, the price of real estate, of every growing crop, of every staple article in the market, is at their command. Stocks are their playthings -- their gambling theatre on which they gamble daily with as little secrecy and as little morality and far more mischief to fortunes than common gambles carry on their operations (emphasis added) (Walbert, 14). When Andrew Jackson was elected President in 1828, he announced in his first message to Congress that he would not renew its charter. By that time, the Bank had great accumulations of reserves. Jackson advocated the passage of a law distributing these surplus revenues back to the states. He ended up vetoing the law Congress passed to re-charter the Bank. His reasons were salient and vital to future U.S. security. Jackson pointed out that the bank's stock, worth $8 million, was held by foreigners, chiefly in Britain, and that this was the most dangerous feature of the plan because a majority of shares of its stock might fall into alien hands, which, if we were involved in a war, could use its influence against the United States (Walbert, 17). In 1881, President James A Garfield said, Whoever controls the volume of money in our country is absolute master of all industry and commerce....and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate. Needless to say, the move to re-establish control over the economy of the United States did not abate. Between 1840 and 1913, there was much done to try and re-establish a private corporation to control our monetary system. In 1910 a group of men met in secret on Jekyll Island to plan the establishment of the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States. These men were members of Cecil Rhodes secret circles: Frank Vanderlip, Benjamin Strong, Paul Warburg, Henry P. Davison, Charles Norton, and Senator Nelson Aldrich. Three years later in 1913, the central bankers took action. This time the people involved in this effort included some of the wealthiest people in America: Senator Nelson Aldrich (grandfather of David Rockefeller); Jacob Schiff and Paul Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb and Company, an international banking house; Piatt Andrew, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury; Henry P. Davidson, Senior Partner of J.P. Morgan & Company; Charles D. Norton, and Frank Vanderlip, President of National City Bank which today is CitiGroup. The passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was done through chicanery. Those in the Senate who favored the Act did not go home while those that were against it went home for Christmas. In a special session convened with quorum, the Act passed at 11:45 p.m. on December 24, 1913 -- an evil act of bondage for the American people. Today, only five countries in the world are without a central bank: Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Cuba and Libya. All of these just happen to be on George Bush's "Evil of Axis" list. With the passage of the Federal Reserve Act, our monetary system changed back to one of control by a private corporation and not the U.S. Treasury. Our currency is an IOU against the "Federal Reserve Note." Earlier in the day on December 24, 1913, Congressman Charles A. Lindberg, Jr. stated from the House floor: "This Act established the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President signs this bill, the invisible government by the Monetary Power will be legalized...The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking bill." We should note that President Woodrow Wilson could have vetoed this bill like Andrew Jackson did, but he had been put into power by the same powers that passed the bill. Since 1913, the Federal Reserve Act has been amended over 195 times. In 1914-1939, U.S. Federal Reserve Notes were backed by gold certificates to 40% of their value. This was reduced by 25% in 1945 and today it is questionable as to how much gold backing there may be. |

short-term move in a country where
free access to up-to-date software like

for many schools that would

money from a billionaire prep-school graduate best known for his software empire: Bill Gates," reported Nick Anderson at The Washington
Post recently; his colleague Valerie Strauss also seems to have just noticed:
| In the past eight years, the [Bill & Melinda Gates] foundation has spent nearly $4 billion promoting his personal education agenda; at first providing subsidies to districts that would agree to close down large neighborhood high schools and start small schools in their place; and now encouraging the rapid and widespread proliferation of charter schools. Gates also is aggressively promoting efforts to create programs that link teacher evaluation and compensation to standardized test scores. And his generosity has not merely been expressed through his foundation. In 2008, he contributed $4 million to help persuade state legislators to extend mayoral control in New York City. As Gates explained at the time: "You want to allow for experimentation.... The cities where our foundation has put the most money is where there is a single person responsible." In other words, he supported mayoral control because it allowed him to impose his large-scale experiments on inner city public school students, without fear of resistance from communities; instead, he has only to convince one person. No wrestling with elected school boards, nor with parents who resent having their children’s schools closed, privatized, or otherwise radically transformed; no need to bother with any of the messy artifacts of democracy which might stand in his way. |

| Last May, [Bill] Gates, [George] Soros, Warren Buffett and David Rockefeller Jr, Rockefeller’s great- grandson, held a long private meeting in New York, not far from the UN, along with an assortment of media potentates such as Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey and Michael Bloomberg. It was reported that Gates had been involved in summoning them all together and that the “Good Club,” as it supposedly called itself, discussed the world’s economic, environmental and health problems, the dangers of over-population and how rich people could better help poor people.. The Sunday Times quoted an unnamed participant at the meeting, who said that without anything “as crude as a vote” the gathering had agreed that the world’s problems “need big-brain answers... independent of government.” |
