Nobody Dreams of Becoming a Resource

"When Personnel became Human Resources, we all lost something."     Matt D.



While nobody dreams of becoming a human resource, how many ever come to realize the system in place and their part in it? And that it's been this way - even before they were born... 

"The Story of Your Enslavement" by Stefan Molyneaux, YouTube:
 

We have so many teachers during our lifetimes for which to be grateful because they extend beyond classrooms. Sometimes even the person cutting you off in traffic, the one screaming obscenities...and another giving a kind smile at the store are teachers. If self-aware, they teach us something about our own reactions. Some teachers include the commenters on various internet articles, and when taking the opportunity to question why people said or wrote whatever they did, I've been more pleasantly surprised than not to open up a greater world of understanding. Admittedly, sometimes it's easier, less painful to not know certain things going on around us, both in the animal and human realms, but it is what it is...shutting it out doesn't change the reality.

Money buys almost anything, even people's hearts and minds. The Rockefeller family through the Rockefeller Foundation has been funding research in propaganda and behavioral modification; collecting and analyzing data about factors including family relationship, level of education, and occupations, etc. - even before the majority of us today were even born. Why? So they can manipulate, and persuade a large group of people into "unwitting acquiescence" towards their own agendas and goals. The Research Council of the CIA is actually funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, and involved in a variety of covert projects. Popular political and social movements are both anticipated and quashed, and the Rockefeller Foundation has been involved in philosophical and pedagogical approaches to U.S. public education from the early 1900s resulting in a deliberate dumbing down of Americans (Early "Psychological Warfare" Research and the Rockefeller Foundation).  

Humans are creative, and some will not be kept in a box; they continue to go beyond the exuberance of youth, and manifest curiosity and chutzpah throughout their lives in order to reveal to the rest something beyond the standardized format those with power, like the Rockefellers, want us to stay inside. This human creativity can be found in so many ways if one starts looking. Once outside the Matrix, it's easier to see the propaganda. Here's a link about some movies used as political propaganda (Top War Films Used as Political Propaganda).

My "follow the money" friend recently sent a link to an Undernews article about communication by Abbie Hoffman, and in part it reads:

"Abbie Hoffman, Overthrow, 1986 - You have to take complicated ideas and make them simple, the language has to be constantly gone over for certain words that Americans will read and tune out on, and you have to be aware of a very short attention span...all I'm saying is, 'Look, this is how this society communicates.' lt communicates through symbols, styles, personalities, issues. It's non-literate and non-ideological, it's visual imagery, short bursts one minute long...". Hoffman understood the results of propaganda and manipulation. Besides "Yippies", seems Hoffman liked the f-bomb, too (Abbie Hoffman character in "Forrest Gump").




George Carlin was the realist, and bluntly so. We need more like him.


"Breaking Down Through American's Dumbed Down Layers of Deception and Denial" (Veterans Today):


George Carlin:  "Politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every day lobbying. Lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want – they want more for themselves and less for everybody else.
 
But I’ll tell you what they don’t want – they don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking… They want obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your  fuckin’ retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later ’cause they own this fuckin’ place. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club…

The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice… Nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you at all! The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes every day, because the owners of this country know the truth… It’s called the American Dream, ’cause you have to be asleep to believe it."

"We need a revolution in consciousness."

As James Corbett of The Corbett Report says, there's a great misconception of the word anarchist (anarchy); preconceptions follow the stereotypical image of violence, chaos, and "Russian-bearded bomb throwers".

Same with the word revolution, too; if one's thinking extreme violence instead of revolution as change in consciousness. Some people are currently teaching of our founding fathers being akin to "terrorists". Perhaps this is done in an attempt to negate the value of the Constitution and Bill of Rights as part of the psyops. Those in control want us to believe in the government as a parental figure, one that tells us what to do and believe, takes care of us cradle to grave, and tries to convince us that we are powerless to change anything.

Who Let ICLEI In, Brunswick?

"And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go to?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may say to yourself
My God!...What have I done?!"              Talking Heads, "Once in a Lifetime"


International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI, pronounced "ICK-LY") is a non-government organization (NGO), private, non-profit lobbying and policy group; a spin-off by the UN in 1990 to implement Agenda 21 locally, throughout the world (Rosa Koire). ICLEI is headquartered in Bonn, Germany, and helps create Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) using regional boards that are not elected and, therefore, not answerable to the citizenry.

ICLEI should stand for Ideally Conning Local Entities Incessantly, in my opinion; because it's a con on the grandest scale. The "Public" part is taxpayer money for Private organizations...to develop a sustainable world, with very little say in the matter. PPPs are about using other people's money to benefit private businesses including reaping of profits, supposedly for improving society and communities. And "local" is a guise, as the intent is to infiltrate at the roots level and then spread further PPPs globally, mandating participating countries to pay "global taxes" (see information about G20 Summit, "Low Gas Prices to be Followed by a Bank Bail-In?" January 24, 2015).
One of ICLEI's USA Board of Directors is Jeb Brugmann (ICLEI founder, Sustainability Strategist). From the website information, Mr. Brugmann is written as having conceived and founded the worldwide "Local Agenda 21" initiative known as ICLEI. The foundation of ICLEI's reason for existing is global warming. However, recall "global warming" is fabricated by a think tank established in 1968, as mentioned in "Club of Rome and the Origins of Global Warming" (January 26, 2015). And to reiterate, the evidence is from The Club of Rome's publication, found in the UN's website list of publications, "The First Global Revolution":

"...in searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came upon the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine, and the like would fit the bill."

So who let ICLEI into Brunswick? Seems reasonable to believe it may have started with the Planning Department, as ICLEI holds seminars and workshops, acts as consultants and helps planners "aid" communities by designing and selling systems that monitor environmental concerns and report and control water and energy use. ICLEI also helps guide planners in Comprehensive Plans and sustainability measures for sustainable community and development.

ICLEI appears to have been the main focus in the 2009 American Planning Association (APA) National Conference. According to the newsletter, Anna Brienich (AICP Commissioner and Planning Director of Brunswick) helped staff the two-day workshop prior to the annual Texas APA conference where Michelle Wyman, Senior Advisor to the ICLEI USA Board "motivated her audience (by) sharing her vision for a sustainable community..." and "Sustainability permeated" the conference program.

Certainly Mr. Manager (former town councilor, Joanne King's name for the town manager) should've been well-aware of ICLEI being part of UN Agenda 21. But what about the Town Councilors and citizens? Wonder how many people in the town even knew what crept into Brunswick.

Currently, the ICLEI website isn't listing all towns and cities which have membership with them. However, this must've been a relatively recent change because previously the list existed; now it's just a graphic of balloons with number of community members, no names. In searching the web there are other sites with such lists which have been cached. Brunswick and other towns previously listed as members aren't on this particular list from 2013 but shows up in other cached lists; however there's a document (Brunswick-Climate-Action-Plan pdf) on-line showing ICLEI's involvement in Brunswick. Since global warming was fabricated, the scientific data comprising a large part of the Brunswick-Climate-Action-Plan itself is moot. But the taxpayer's money is still being spent.

Sustainability plans also include codes, as mentioned in "Watch for Creeping Codes" (February 1, 2015). Surreptitiously, the UN's Agenda 21 is involved in creating International Codes; not U.S. codes on state and local levels with citizen involvement, but global codes. Clearly, the citizenry is to be muted throughout the process. When concerned citizens spoke against the International Property Maintenance Code in Summit Hill Borough in Pennsylvania, the town's attorney said the International Property Maintenance Codes weren't in any way affiliated with UN Agenda 21, and a councilor called the citizens' protests "fear mongering". Both of those people are wrong. Wonder who they are working for and if the majority of councilors and selectmen anywhere in the U.S. represent the best interests of their citizenry for which they were elected.

ICLEI is, indeed, in collusion with the International Codes Council as evidenced by a recent ICLEI USA @ ICLEI_USA tweet, January 30: "Big news: Plan for rising seas in all federal projects wapo.st/1zGGKw8 Now let's address climate in building codes @IntlCodeCouncil".

The following YouTube video is approximately twenty-four minutes and an excellent review of UN Agenda 21 by Tom DeWeese, and he talks about how the convoluted UN Agenda 21 system has reached all areas of our lives and at local levels as seen in Brunswick (due to technical difficulties, this particular video will not embed as previous ones have, but here's the link):

Tom DeWeese: Agenda 21 & International Redistribution of Wealth; CSPOA presentation

This opinion is in no way saying we shouldn't be concerned about our environment, looking for ways to reduce waste, and caring for our planet and communities. As previously mentioned, many are already on-board in finding ways to lessen their own personal impacts on the planet. What's occurring with UN Agenda 21 is insidious, and those in power have intentionally permeated all aspects of our lives, including education, and individual freedoms using the guise of environmental concerns in order to line their own pockets.

Citizens of Brunswick haven't been the only ones snookered; they're in plenty of good company with several towns and cities across the nation. But if you dig into the web, articles are showing that people are catching on, and getting UN Agenda 21's missions out of their towns. Therefore, it's not too late to realize what's actually going on, to speak up, and make some changes while we still have the chance.

Revealing the Hydra

Seemingly, it's hopeless to fight the Hydra, the guardian of the Underworld in Greek mythology. The Hydra, a beast of numerous heads with lethal breath and bodily fluids, grew two heads if one was severed. But the Hydra was, indeed, defeated by the hero Heracles with the help of his nephew, the Argonaut, Iolaus. First, the Hydra had to be found and forced out of its lair. After each head was severed by Heracles, his nephew cauterized the stump with a branding iron to stop the growth of new heads. But before its demise, the Goddess Hera who saw Heracles was succeeding, sent a crab to distract him. Even so, Heracles crushed the crab, then he and Iolaus dismantled and killed the Hydra.

Charlotte Iserbyt, former U.S. Senior Policy Advisor, U.S. Department of Education and whistleblower, and many others have identified the creeping process shaping the U.S.A. into a global socialistic entity whose progress is both measurable and well-documented throughout history. The magnitude is seen in the sheer numbers of groups including funding involved which are cohesively working towards the ultimate goal to take our freedoms and rights to: private property ownership and protecting our properties, choice in how we're educating our children, choice in our means of making a living, where we want to live and to be safe in our homes and on the streets, our modes of transportation, choice in using resources for activities of daily living (i.e. the temperature of your home, whether in heating or cooling, and even appliances you choose to purchase, etc.), the number of children we choose to add to our families, and so forth. These changes come through insidious gradualism while our Constitution and Bill of Rights similarily become defunct without the firing of a single shot.

Iserbyt says we're fighting a war here in our own country; it's a war without guns as those in power create the means of pushing forth their own agenda and control the resources and people using taxpayer dollars and a stroke of the pen. And to win a war we need to identify the enemy and we need ammunition. Our ammunition starts with informing the people; exposing the heads of the hydra, and taking away their power source - money - our money.



Most of us, who are paying attention, can think of instances in our own neighborhoods, towns, and State where citizens are being mowed over. Rights are taken away, and some will mumble that "those people" can take the issue to court. It costs money to go through the court system, and municipalities know this reality. Perhaps 95% of the people don't have the money, but the municipality has a seemingly never-ending source at the trough. Some will look the other way and say well, it's not happening to me, so it's not my business; I'm the lucky one! Reality is the courts are inaccessible to the majority of Mainers; as a matter of fact, the courts are inaccessible to the majority of U.S.A.'s citizens.

Coming across this blogspot, it's easy to see help isn't forthcoming from any level for Laurie Allen of Belfast:
http://boycottbelfast.blogspot.com/ 
Looking at the pictures, how can anyone in charge of the Town think they'd like the same happening to their own property? It's my understanding the Town of Belfast purposefully placed massive drainage systems knowing certain properties would be negatively affected by the amount of redirected water which ultimately ends up in the harbor.A DEP agent had once said to me, he (DEP) "likes to work things out with the town"; in other words, they're not looking to have the towns follow regulations, nor cite them, even when informed.


https://plus.google.com/105736045670734847961/posts/cgsRMGCaGqG?gpinv=AMIXal-jTaR6IUriiIidUMZeXRP0Mfc0pvSNtCiOKqNHKtWjjPLCGEz6p0Zz23oUjOaZ5Uj6Q8WeL7U4Dfk7sg75yi5zwJv3s-cnVF46lmSbkSYue_fuljE&cfem=1&pid=6052716949375264466&oid=105736045670734847961

And according to an article from Bangor Daily News, it seems the town is further planning on dredging and draining a man-made pond known as The Muck (which would similarly follow a drainage path through Allen's and others' properties in the same neighborhood). Someone wrote a comment about feeling sorry for the people who'd be affected by the foul-smelling, cheesy-like goo headed their way from the draining of The Muck. Seems there's a logical reason the pond is named The Muck.


The example here is just one of the many heads of the Hydra. With internet access it becomes easier to find many more instances of how the people's rights are continually violated across the nation, including through police brutality, and instances of misconduct in the judicial system. Seems the citizens' freedoms and rights are taken lightly, while the violator's are protected.


Getting back to the point of Iserbyt, and the purposeful conditioning of our children with Skinnerian/Pavlovian animal-training techniques, perhaps her explanation of what can be observed in the behaviors of people, in general, is actually showing the efficacy and success of the programming. And perhaps this is the reason too many are looking the other way. Expressing exasperation (beating head against a wall) because too many lack comprehension, Iserbyt said she realized it's not their fault.

(Iserbyt, The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, pg. 37):


"[Ed. Note: The reader should refer back to the preface of this book, the Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, for discussion of the need to create robots who do not know right from wrong and who do not have a conscience—leaving the determination of right and wrong to the proposed United Nations “Global Conscience.”]"

"C.S. Lewis's uncanny ability to predict accurately how society would be manipulated into acceptance of totalitarian control was displayed in the following excerpt taken from a conversation Lewis's fictitious Lord Feverstone had with a young man named Mark:
[Feverstone] "Man has got to take charge of Man. That means, remember, that some men have got to take charge of the rest - which is another reason for cashing in on it as soon as one can. You and I want to be the people who do the taking charge, not the ones who are taken charge of. Quite."

"What sort of thing have you in mind?"

"Quite simple and obvious things, at first - sterilization of the unfit, liquidation of backward races (we don't want any dead weights), selective breeding. Then real education, including pre-natal education. By real education I mean one that has no 'take-it-or-leave-it' nonsense. A real education makes the patient what it wants infallibly: whatever he or his parents try to do about it. Of course, it'll have to be mainly psychological at first. But we'll get on to biochemical conditioning in the end and direct manipulation of the brain..."

"But this is stupendous, Feverstone."

"It's the real thing at last. A new type of man: and it's people like you who've got to begin to make him."

"That's my trouble. Don't think it's false modesty, but I haven't seen how I can contribute."

"No, but we have. You are what we need: a trained sociologist with a radically realistic outlook, not afraid of responsibility. Also, a sociologist who can write."

"You don't mean you want me to write this all up?"

"No. We want you to write it down - to camouflage it. Only for the present, of course. Once the thing gets going we shan't have to bother about the great heart of the British public. We'll make the great heart what we want it to be." (pg.42)"

A Brunswick Education: Sit, Ubu, sit. Good Dog!

"Coexistence on this tightly knit earth should be viewed as an existence not only without wars...but also without (the government) telling us how to live, what to say, what to think, what to know, and what not to know." Alexsander Solzhenitsyn  (September 11, 1973)

It's said understanding occurs when one can see the pattern(s) ...and then connect the dots. Sometimes the revelations are followed by a sense of shock. How can this be? Why didn't I see this before? A recent Bangor Daily News comment to an article related a loss of innocence when he/she realized the truth, followed by the accompanying feeling of sadness. Once known, there's no going back. That comment resonates with me. Having a gut feeling alone isn't enough; the intuition is there for a reason and a niggling feeling begs asking why... to start searching, and then to act. And so it's been with the questions about education. What's going on in this country and why are we failing so miserably, in general, to educate our children when they are our hopes for the future?

First of all, to be perfectly clear, the failures in education are not the teachers' fault; we're losing a lot of excellent teachers because many are realizing what's been going on. As Charlotte Iserbyt (former Senior Policy Advisor, U.S. Department of Education, and whistleblower) explains, a model for teaching, based upon a goal, has been forced from the top, down; and the only mechanism currently stopping it has been by informed citizens, including parents, pressing elected officials to represent them in the form of school boards.

The goal put in place by those in control of our government (not us) is to create compliant human resources which is "...necessary to the U.S.' participation in a socialist world government scheduled for the early years of the 21st century..." 

http://deliberatedumbingdown.com/MomsPDFs/Back%20to%20Basics%20Reform_Iserbyt_book.pdf

The insidious gradualism (two steps forward, one step backwards) has been part of the long-term strategy. Seems the public can be easily manipulated if the goals are couched in certain words, and common ground and consensus created so long as those in control maintain the control, and are willing to practice patience.


How are they doing this? B.F. Skinner, a social engineer in totalitarian theories says human beings' behaviors are easily sculpted like a lump of clay. Children are viewed as human animals, akin to rats, chickens, and dogs; and through operant conditioning (stimulus-response-stimulus conditioning techniques) human organisms' behaviors can be shaped, conditioned, reinforced, extinguished, rewarded or punished until learners achieve the target behavior.

The public is buying into this scheme because there are tools, proven in effectiveness, over many years of experimentation on people. One such effective tool is "semantic deception". Similar to Rosa Koire's comment about U.N. Agenda 21 environmental strategy guise to take private property rights (who doesn't like the words: walkable, bike-able, vibrant, progressive, etc.?), who would object to the words regarding educational goals, such as: back to basics, excellence, accountability, equity, effective schools, critical thinking skills, etc.?

The programs used include: Whole Language, Mastery Learning/Outcome-based Education, Direct Instruction, Moral Relativism (no right/no wrong, the end justifies the means), No Child Left Behind, School-to-Work, etc. Sound familiar? If the programs don't appear to be working, a new method will be substituted (Hegelian dialectic), but it's the same Skinnerian/Pavlovian animal-training methods - programming for a desired behavior only if the positive reward or response is forthcoming.

When parents catch on and start resisting the programming, there's still another effective control tool: dialectical process - deliberately creating an educational "crisis". Radical reforms are then sold to the public, which wouldn't have been accepted without the "crisis" (pick your poison). The "change agents" are ready and continually deceive because, after all, most will only believe the "experts".

Iserbyt says the high cost of education is because of the Skinnerian program put in place, and that money predominantly comes from the American taxpayers. We're paying for an education not with an outcome of how to think, but rather what to think in order to fulfill an international elite's socialist quota for human resources. Most may believe the U.S.A. is mandating our country's education independently, but that's not true. Iserbyt's The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America shows the history, and the players:

http://deliberatedumbingdown.com/MomsPDFs/DDDoA.sml.pdf 
 
The U.N.'s original reason for existence immediately following World War II is defunct; the U.N. today is a different animal. Major contributors in funding education globally include the U.N.-created UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific Cultural Organization; nineteen out of twenty members are from Russia), OECD (Office of Cooperation and Development), the World Bank, with oversight by organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)... and think of names like Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford, etc.

Lastly, Iserbyt warns of the Charter School Trojan Horse. She warns the Charter schools are tax-funded - no books (focus on technology/computers), workforce training, no grades, no competition. No elected board. Common Core cannot be fought, because the name will be changed, and it'll be taught in Charter schools because there's no elected board to stop it. So kudos to those parents and citizens in Brunswick paying attention and staying connected with elected officials of the Brunswick School Board.

In all, it sounds similar to the movie, The Matrix. One can choose to know or not to know. Take the red pill and there's no going back.
