DUMBING DOWN AND DRUGGING PEOPLE

The Problem: Dumbing Down People For at least 75 years there has been a sad and steady downward reversal as the world culture spiraled out of control toward disaster with fear mongering, bigotry, racial hatred, corrupt government, stupid actions by people, ignorance, homophobia, base decadence, debauchery, drug use, chemical additives in food and water, huge shift in crimes and punishment, and lowered ethical values. Instead of becoming a utopia led by technological advances, increased wisdom and knowledge, and progress for all people in our country and the world, the vast majority of people in our society have instead digressed into a crude and unsophisticated state where they have lost the ability to think and reason and are easily manipulated and controlled. Many have become dependent and addicted to sports entertainment, mass media, entertainment and merry making, drugs such as alcohol or worse, and given up the ability to think. A myriad of reasons explain what is happening - chief among them is that we are being dumbed down throughout our society with mind control and manipulation. We are being trained to become a world of serfs or slaves to serve the elite and become docile like sheep by not questioning or thinking about what is happening, which groups are behind this shift and what they have to gain by this, and to what lengths they will go to. Dumbing Down Society Although television, video, the computer and internet, computer games, and movies have the power to be a fantastic educational and information tools that could help a society reach and educate multitudes of people, these media has instead become a tool that is causing people to become a nation of passive observers who are mesmerized by news, sports, entertainment, and other programming that is for the most part used as propaganda and to influence the viewer to buy, behave, or react in certain ways. For example, why does the CIA spend $3 billion dollars a year to own newspapers, radio and TV stations to influence people in foreign countries to look upon the US in a favorable manner? Why does the military spend billions on mass marketing and computer game development? Why have individuals such as Conrad Black, Rupert Murdock, and Bill Gates to name a few purchase and own huge television and other media conglomerates, control software development of all types? Is it really for the betterment of society that they do this or is it to control and put their spin on controlling us? Dumbing Down the Media Within my lifetime, the news media (radio, television, newspapers, the internet, and magazines) and the people who reported news had integrity gave an attempt to report in a fair and unbiased manner what was news. It was not perfect, but honesty and integrity were valued. PBS actually gave both sides to the journalist story. Something happened to this and now we have the sad excuse for "news reporting" going on. In another era this was called yellow journalism and harshly criticized. Sensationalism, people's opinions, shock statements, propaganda, one-upmanship, outright lying, etc. have replaced ethics and integrity in mainstream journalism and the media. Government has created propaganda 'fake news stories' that have been aired as the truth. One reason for this is six (6) corporations own all the news outlets in our country - the main mission of the majority of the (6) corporations produce entertainment so it is no mystery that the news we get is based upon entertainment and not facts. By their very nature, corporations are more interested in profit than truth or integrity. The question that needs to be ask is why we are being dumbed down and what can a person do to avoid being dumbed down? Dumbing Down Education People rely upon an education system that panders to the lowest expectations (while claiming to have high expectations),i.e. dumbing children down and subjecting them to obedience training so they will be easier to manage; is obsessed with teaching to tests and passing the tests, and rigid obedience and control while ignoring reading, writing, math, and thinking. The vast majority of youngsters who graduate are not really taught to function in the real world because the system has failed them. Our state and local education systems lie about how the test scores, grades, etc. of students continue to improve. In order to have "accountability" schools where students are "failing" are given a short amount of time to shape up or be "privatized" and changed into a "charter school". Privatization and charter school is a fancy name for stealing from the public and giving this public money to a non public Corporation or private school that has no accountability on how the money is spent or the students learn. Teachers are hired who can barely read or write, have no knowledge of their subject area, are more interested in a second paycheck, and who have not been trained to teach are also responsible for this decline. Many classrooms are staffed with full time substitute teachers since it is so hard to fill the positions. Poor pay, lousy Gestapo Hitler like principals, and unsafe learning environments are also to blame. While public education is political and dependent upon the whims of whichever political party is in power, our education system will be a failure. While the main focus of many of our high schools is on a sports program where millions are misspent, our schools will fail to educate. While our schools stress control and obedience to all authority, we have set our youngsters to become obedient "citizens" who will blindly and unthinkingly follow authority figures. Many people focus on a winning football team and never really look to see the dropout rate, or if the young people graduating can read, write, count change, balance a check book, etc. Children who rebel are labeled as behaviorally disturbed, special education, and/or are medicated with powerful mood altering drugs to mold them into an obedient state. We, the people, need to become involved in changing this around and demanding the best public education system for our children that we can have. Education can change the world if people are really taught to critically think, read, write, do math, be creative, etc. Students also are responsible since they exacerbate the problems by misbehaving and not taking responsibility for their own education - blaming everyone but themselves. Dumbing Down Politicians At one time a politician who misused and spoke their native language like our current President does with English in an ignorant and dumb manner would never have been elected to any office much less the office of governor or President. President George W. Bush is such a politician - he is not alone. What is really sad is that he is the product of one of the most exclusive private schools in America and university education where he was given a "superior" education to public schools and universities. In a recent political congressional hearing, many congress men and women from both political parties showed their ignorance about legislation they had passed when they admitted that they had voted on a bill that gave away their oversight and ability to hold hearings on US prosecutors that the President recommended. The bill in question was USA "Patriot Act II" without having read or understood what they voted on! Years earlier in 2001, they passed the original "Patriot Act" within two months where again the vast majority of them did not bother to read or debate what was in this law or the fact it would abrogate the US Constitution. The "Patriot Act" literally does away with constitutional rights of those US citizens deemed a "terrorist". The definition of a terrorist in this act is anyone or any crime that are committed in the US. This law needs to be repealed. Some Suggested Solutions to Avoid Being Dumbed Down What can you do? With in our society there are multiple examples of how we are dumbed down. The writer has just shown a few examples of these - there are more. One way to do this is make a resolve that you will change your life and our society for the better by becoming involved, avoiding stupid behavior and actions, and become more informed. This means you can empower yourself to help change your world. Because it is so easy to control those who fear, many leaders use fear and intimidation to dominate, control, and conquer people. In the United States our fear mongering leaders and media blast war, death, negative stories, stupid actions, and destruction out to people on a daily basis. We see images of people in prison, natural disasters, murder, mayhem, criminal acts, horrific acts, etc. They know if they can create fear in a person, that the fear will become a 'mind prison' and thus captivate the person. Many people become slaves to their fear because it is an illusion that they accepted. What can a person do to avoid this? 1. Limiting TV news viewing to 1 hour a day - until you can cut out TV altogether. 2. View positive and uplifting programs such as spiritual films, old classics, etc. 3. View films that challenge your thinking and beliefs and are educational media, etc. 4. Avoid news, journals, and newspapers that just give one side to a story only. 5. Avoid news, journals, magazines and newspapers that use fear based stories. 6. Read books that are interesting and have a positive uplifting messages or story. 7. Study the great religious literature, philosophy, and spiritual books. 8. Study books that enhance your thinking in mathematics, philosophy, spiritual matters. 9. Study history and science to increase your thinking. 10. Meditate and pray at a minimum of twice a day - in the morning and at night. 11. Find an animal, person or group that you can show compassion to and help everyday. 12. Avoid people who waste your time or worse cause you to have fear and panic. 13. Do not take microchips or other implants in your body - ever. 14. Watch what you eat and drink - distilled water and organic food. 15. Take vitamin supplements to enhance your immune system. 16. Eat 75% of your food raw and 25% cooked. Avoid refined foods. 17. Refuse to take vaccines - they contain chemicals that are deadly, i.e. mercury. In order to become enlightened and share the perfect love and compassion that man was meant to have, we need to become educated about the demeaning and destructive practices that are being done to us to manipulate our thinking and behavior to become docile and subservient to a fascist state. We can no longer afford to be ignorant and stupid in how we act. The above are some of the reasons why people who are grounded in perfect love need not fear anything and can avoid being dumbed down. If they kill me and I have perfect unconditional love, I will ascend and be with those who practice perfect unconditional love. A person who has this type of love in their life cannot be defeated or brought down with fear. This is why it is so important for people to start to practice love - both on themselves and then others and toward God.
