Obama Fantasizes About Being Back in the USSR

/8 Comments/in , /by

iRANJust when it seemed things couldn’t get more absurd in the Obama White House, the President floated the idea last week of making voting mandatory in the United States. It would be “transformative,” he claimed.

To paraphrase a line from The Princess Bride: “he keeps using that word but I don’t think it means what he thinks it means.”

For one thing the term generally used is compulsory voting but that doesn’t quite have the slightly softer sound on the ears mandatory does.

Of course when Obama says “transformative” he means a way for his party to get a firmer grip on political power, sort of like making sure the dead aren’t unjustly deprived of their vote just because they are no longer breathing.

During a town hall in Cleveland last Wednesday, when he first mentioned the idea, Obama noted that other countries have mandatory voting. Do their dead vote too?

Just because other countries do it is no reason for us to accept the practice.

Proponents noted that at least 20 countries have mandatory voting, though only 10 enforce it. They point to how well it works in countries like Australia or Belgium, where missing a vote can mean a jail sentence, though it is rarely enforced. They failed to note how other, less savory, countries are also on the list, such as North Korea (with only one candidate on the ballot), Egypt, Libya, Mexico, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

This is the august company the president wants us to keep? It wouldn’t be the first time he has left many scratching their heads over his troubling allegiances.

“It would be transformative if everybody voted,” Obama said. “That would counteract money more than anything…the people who tend not to vote are young, they’re lower income, they’re skewed more heavily towards immigrant groups and minority groups. There’s a reason why some folks try to keep them away from the polls.”

Besides the Democrat fantasy that there is an active movement to stop some people from voting because of their ethnicity, Obama deludes himself into thinking that 100% voter turnout would turn things in his favor (why else would he support it?). Israel had 72% voter turnout in this last election and Obama’s apparent nemesis, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, won in an overwhelming landslide, yet the president seems to have no respect for the democratic process in that situation.

In any case, who would win or lose in such a system doesn’t matter. Even if the votes went entirely against the Democrats, it is a bad idea. How can a free country mandate participation in elections? It can’t. Voting is a civil right but no one is obliged to exercise one’s civil rights at all times. Would we require people to stand on a soapbox and speak, or write monthly letters to the editor, or perhaps require everyone to own a firearm? While the latter is a tempting idea, the basis of freedom and a free society is that everyone is allowed to choose for himself. That includes not voting if that is your choice.

Fox News interviewed Frank Askins, a professor at Rutgers School of Law, about the constitutionality of forcing people to vote. He was quite blunt about the matter. “People have a right to opt out of elections. It’s not happening.”

If you make voting compulsory it is only one more step to make voting for certain candidates compulsory. Thinking back to the Cold War, the Soviet Union always used to brag about its massive voter turnout, but there was never any question that the people had no choice. Compulsory voting was a symbol of a totalitarian system, not of people exercising their rights or freedom.

No wonder the president is so fond of the idea. (See “Obama Fantasizes About Being Back in the USSR”, originally posted HERE)

The NSA Doesn’t Need to Spy on Your Calls to Learn Your Secrets; Facebook in Cahoots with US Surveillance Agencies

/0 Comments/in , /by

NSAABy Bruce Schneier. Governments and coporations gather, store, and analyze the tremendous amount of data we chuff out as we move through our digitized lives. Often this is without our knowledge, and typically without our consent. Based on this data, they draw conclusions about us that we might disagree with or object to, and that can impact our lives in profound ways. We may not like to admit it, but we are under mass surveillance.

Much of what we know about the NSA’s surveillance comes from Edward Snowden, although people both before and after him also leaked agency secrets. As an NSA contractor, Snowden collected tens of thousands of documents describing many of the NSA’s surveillance activities. Then in 2013 he fled to Hong Kong and gave them to select reporters.

The first news story to break based on the Snowden documents described how the NSA collects the cell phone call records of every American. One government defense, and a sound bite repeated ever since, is that the data they collected is “only metadata.” The intended point was that the NSA wasn’t collecting the words we said during our phone conversations, only the phone numbers of the two parties, and the date, time, and duration of the call. This seemed to mollify many people, but it shouldn’t have. Collecting metadata on people means putting them under surveillance.

An easy thought experiment demonstrates this. Imagine that you hired a private detective to eavesdrop on someone. The detective would plant bugs in that person’s home, office, and car. He would eavesdrop on that person’s phone and computer. And you would get a report detailing that person’s conversations.

Now imagine that you asked the detective to put that person under surveillance. You would get a different but nevertheless comprehensive report: where he went, what he did, who he spoke to and for how long, who he wrote to, what he read, and what he purchased. That’s metadata.

Leave Facebook If You Don’t Want to Be Spied on, Warns EU

By Samuel Gibbs. The European Commission has warned EU citizens that they should close their Facebook accounts if they want to keep information private from US security services, finding that current Safe Harbour legislation does not protect citizen’s data.

The comments were made by EC attorney Bernhard Schima in a case brought by privacy campaigner Maximilian Schrems, looking at whether the data of EU citizens should be considered safe if sent to the US in a post-Snowden revelation landscape.

“You might consider closing your Facebook account, if you have one,” Schima told attorney general Yves Bot in a hearing of the case at the European court of justice in Luxembourg.

When asked directly, the commission could not confirm to the court that the Safe Harbour rules provide adequate protection of EU citizens’ data as it currently stands. (Read more from this story HERE)

The Neo-pagan Jihad of a “Oneist” Culture [+video]

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Scott Brown YoutubeRecently some fifty prominent British atheists sent a letter to the London Telegraph protesting the Prime Minister referring to England as a “Christian” nation. Oddly, the infamous Oxford professor and world-renowned atheist, author of “The God Delusion”, Richard Dawkin’s name was absent.

Apparently he is now describing himself as a “secular Christian”. He stated at the 2014 Hay Festival that while he was not spiritual, he longed for the traditions and nostalgia of the church!

But sadly in most of Europe and across the Atlantic there continues to be a mass exodus from the nostalgia and traditions of the church. Instead of describing themselves as secular anything, millions are now claiming to be spiritual but not religious! This is the new mantra. Secularism is on the way out. Spirituality is in!

But what kind of spirituality is this? In August 2009 Newsweek Magazine featured an article “We Are All Hindus Now”. The author cites a poll that reveals that 65 percent of Americans believe that many religions can lead to eternal life, including 37 percent of white evangelicals, the group most likely to believe that salvation is theirs alone.

Goodbye secular humanism. Hello Oneism!

There are many threats in the world today from ISIS to Ebola, from Iran to the shredding of our Constitution by a rogue president! But none so pervasive as “Oneism”. It’s never mentioned in the news. Not talked about in churches or over the dinner table. But the most formable enemy is lurking right at our door! Even at the door of the church!

So what is it? I call it the “Neo-Pagan Jihad”. And you thought only Muslims could have jihad. Oneism is pagan cosmology.

Here’s how it goes courtesy of Dr. Peter Jones of The Truth Exchange.

All is one: everything is divine. There is no external god but spirituality is in ourselves and in the universe around us.

Humanity is one: Everyone shares in the divine power. If we all unite, we can bring the world to a new level of happiness and peace.

All Religions are one: Each religion has some of the truth. If we bring them all together, we will discover real spirituality.

Oneism seeks to erase all distinctions that keep us from true unity. This is where the big rub with a Biblical cosmology comes in. God has made distinctions: Creator/creation; male/female; human/animal and so forth. Do you see where I am going?

If you look at the major breakdowns in our culture you will find the blurring of distinctions. Gender-neutral is just the tip of the iceberg! It goes all the way down to the equality of plants and humans in environmentalism gone mad! (See “The War On Humans” at Fellowship Of The Minds)

A Biblical cosmology embraces “Twoism”.

All is two: There are two kinds of reality: God and creation. God is eternal, triune, personable, loving and awesome. He made everything that exists.

Humanity is Two: There are two kinds of people: those who are for God and those who are against him. There is no neutral ground.

All Religions are Two: Spirituality means worship and service. We worship and serve either God or something created.

But is this new? There is nothing new under the sun as Solomon said and Oneism has been baking in the sun since the first bite of an apple.

The Apostle Paul recognized it in his day. In Romans chapter one he spells it out.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. Romans 1: 18-27

The wrath of God is revealed from heaven because the truth men know about God is being suppressed, leading to ungodliness and unrighteousness! God receives no honor or thanksgiving!

There are three basic exchanges that are made and they are not good exchanges!

1) The exchange of the glory of the immortal God for images.
2) The exchange of truth about God for a lie.
3) The exchange of the natural for the unnatural.

Again take a look at our culture and you will see every breakdown involves one or more of these exchanges. These bad exchanges are the blurring of distinctions! What’s wrong is right and what’s right is wrong. Relativism. Tolerance trumps truth. All guilt is removed, no judging allowed.

So now we have homosexual churches and pastors, Christian Yoga (Hinduism’s sneaky evangelistic program), contemplative prayer, trance worship, and emergent churches that have emerged right out of a true generous orthodoxy! Add this to many evangelicals who view the Bible as mythology or a legalistic set of rules to earn their way to heaven! A 2015 poll showed that 64% of evangelical millenials support same-sex marriages! (Taken from the Gay site Freedomtomarry.org who’s mantra is “Love Must Win”) Where have we heard that phrase before?

Many major churches and ministries are backing away from the issue. I’m embarrassed to mention them! I guess love without truth must win? (1 Cor. 13: 6)

It’s all exchange. The Gospel for the “not so gospel exchange” even in our holy sanctuaries! But then moral relativism screams, “Judge not lest ye be judged”.

The physical, intellectual and spiritual truths are all being suppressed by the spirit of the age! And God turned them over to what? Read it!

While oneism worships and serves the creation as divine, twoism worships and serves the eternal, personal creator of all things! While oneism eliminates all distinctions, twoism proclaims that God alone is divine and is distinct from his creation, yet through his Son Jesus, he is in loving communion with it! He is transforming redeemed lives to their original design for real glory!

Israel: Beware of Obama; His Promise to Transform America was too Modest

/1 Comment/in , /by

US-POLITICS-OBAMA-FILMBy Michael Goodwin. First he comes for the banks and health care, uses the IRS to go after critics, politicizes the Justice Department, spies on journalists, tries to curb religious freedom, slashes the military, throws open the borders, doubles the debt and nationalizes the Internet.

He lies to the public, ignores the Constitution, inflames race relations and urges Latinos to punish Republican “enemies.” He abandons our ­allies, appeases tyrants, coddles ­adversaries and uses the Crusades as an excuse for inaction as Islamist terrorists slaughter their way across the Mideast.

Now he’s coming for Israel.

Barack Obama’s promise to transform America was too modest. He is transforming the whole world before our eyes. Do you see it yet?

Against the backdrop of the tsunami of trouble he has unleashed, Obama’s pledge to “reassess” America’s relationship with Israel cannot be taken lightly. Already paving the way for an Iranian nuke, he is hinting he’ll also let the other anti-Semites at Turtle Bay have their way. That could mean American support for punitive Security Council resolutions or for Palestinian statehood initiatives. It could mean both, or something worse.

Massive Sinkholes Break Open as Dead Sea Shrivels

By Molly Hunter. There are more than 3,000 sinkholes on the banks of the Dead Sea — and they’re multiplying exponentially, according to environmentalists, as the body of water dries up.


“It’s nature’s revenge,” said Gidon Bromberg, the Israeli Director at EcoPeace Middle East, an organization that brings together Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli environmentalists to protect their shared environmental heritage.

“These sinkholes are a direct result of the inappropriate mismanagement of water resources in the region.”

More than 1,400 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on land. The first sinkhole was spotted in the 1980s. By 1990, there were 40, and 15 years later new chasms are breaking open every day.

“They could develop overnight. Or over time,” Bromberg said. “Making them unpredictable. And very dangerous.” (Read more from this story HERE)

Glenn Beck’s Charges against NRA Director, Divert Attention from Amnesty Threat [+video]

/3 Comments/in , /by

Conservative media powerhouse Glenn Beck told The Blaze, a news and editorial outlet he founded, that following a one-hour telephone conversation, National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne La Pierre is opening a “fully transparent” ethics investigation into NRA director and Americans for Tax Reform president Grover Norquist. The development comes after Beck announced that he will resign his membership if Norquist is re-elected to the board.

While allegations that Norquist is “an agent of influence” on behalf of Islamic interests will raise concerns of many NRA members and gun owners in general, Beck did not cite one reason why his activities in that regard conflict with NRA’s bylaws, the charter that defines director eligibility and all other matters pertaining to operational policies. And while it’s useful for NRA’s voting members to know the truth about such ties (not surprisingly, Norquist and his American Conservative Union allies dispute and condemn the legitimacy of such criticisms) so that members can decide if that’s a personal show-stopper for them, chances are his reelection is already a done deal.

That’s because the mail-in ballot was sent to voting members (continuous membership for five years or life member and higher) in the February issue. With only an estimated seven percent of those bothering to vote, odds are not too many of Beck’s callers qualify and that Norquist, who enjoyed Nominating Committee support, already has enough votes. Besides, based on the non-specificity of the “influence” allegations, there is no unequivocal rule La Pierre can use to overturn election results and boot Norquist off the board, meaning he can either throw the guy under the bus on a trumped up charge and lose much influence and access through “insider” alienation, plus face a lawsuit, or else offer Norquist some kind of secret deal to get him to take one for the team.

[Listen to the author’s interview last week here:]

Or just tell people there are no actionable justifications he is authorized to pursue…

Still, if nothing else, this shows the effects of high-profile influence on getting NRA’s attention and eliciting some kind of action out of Fairfax. Back when there was a much clearer case for ridding the association of a subversive member who was in demonstrable violation of its bylaw-defined eligibility criteria, NRA refused to respond to a rules-compliant request to expel anti-gun propagandist Michael Moore. NRA management ignoring that request was also a violation of the bylaws, but they could get away with it due to the limited venue the complaint was effectively buried in. Beck has a much more amplified voice, as evidenced by all of the related reports qualifying for the Google news feed.

And the thing is, even if Beck and the noise he’s making on this somehow succeed in keeping Norquist off the board, it distracts from another issue NRA is deliberately ignoring that this column has repeatedly raised, and that again, is confined to a relatively obscure venue: the danger a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal aliens poses to government recognition of the right to keep and bear arms.

Norquist supports amnesty, absolving and keeping foreign lawbreakers in this country. He supports it despite Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson’s insistence that illegal aliens have “earned the right to be citizens.” He supports it despite Democrat Rep. Kurt Schrader claiming immigration will decide “who is in charge of this country for the next 20 or 30 years.” He supports it despite all credible polling showing that giving Johnson what he and his boss and his party demand will result in millions of new anti-gun Democrat voters, with the capability of establishing unchallengeable majorities in the legislatures, a resultant stacking of the courts through confirmations of anti-gun activist judges, and a reversal of all legislative and judicial gains enjoyed in recent years.

Heller and McDonald were 5-4 decisions in favor of gun owners. Who thinks that won’t be reversed when Schraeder and pals control all three branches of government?

Note anyone dismissing the danger will offer arguments based on anecdotes and platitudes, but they will not offer data that contradicts these contentions. If they have knowledge to convince us this is not a concern directly impacting government recognition of gun rights, why do they not share specifics so their claims can be validated?

Yeah, if Beck wants to go after Norquist, fine. But aside from amnesty, he’s also ignoring other NRA-specific disconnects. For instance, he could challenge him on conflict of interest, such as the time Norquist put his tax interests ahead of gun owner interests, and endorsed anti-gun politician Bob Dold, who then went on to win a “leadership” award from the citizen disarmament zealots at Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence.

How does that make the director worthy of a Nominating Committee endorsement?

Perhaps if LaPierre really intends to investigate Norquist, he can look into his amnesty collaboration with Michael Bloomberg, and see if other Dold-style conflicts exist depending on which hat he’s wearing. No one thinks the politically-savvy Mayor of Everytown doesn’t pay attention to polls and isn’t working toward actualizing his vision of control, do they?

Pressuring Norquist off the board without raising that flag gives NRA a pass to continue ignoring the threat posed by making sure the vote is given to current criminal foreign invaders with documented Democrat sympathies. If anything, his removal without considering the “pathway to citizenship” dangers will undermine that bit of leverage and allow NRA to keep playing the access game, and avoid scoring amnesty support as anti-gun in its political ratings.

As things stand, that pressure is unlikely to happen. With the exception of Gun Owners of America, which has bravely stood alone on the issue, no national gun rights group has made the 2A/amnesty connection. Alan Gottlieb, head of the influential Second Amendment Foundation and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, has rejected it outright in his recent endorsement of Norquist. That further relieves pressure from NRA to acknowledge relevancy and then do something about it.


Also showing deliberate indifference to the political effects amnesty will have on gun rights are ostensible immigration watchdog groups, and of paramount significance, so-called “conservative news” outlets, including Fox News (created by a Hillary Clinton supporter), Newsmax (headed by a Bill Clinton admirer), Beck’s The Blaze, Townhall, The Daily Caller, WND and Drudge. What that means is, most gun owners will never be exposed to the evidence of why a “pathway to citizenship” should even concern them. Unless the readership of those sites challenges them in sufficient numbers to report on that danger, those relying on the issue being ignored will have their way.

One notable exception with a national presence is the syndicated Armed American Radio program. Continuing its practice of bringing breaking news and information to gun owners no one else provides, host Mark Walters will be speaking tonight with Grover Norquist, about Glenn Beck’s allegations, his stance on immigration and more. The program broadcasts from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern time, and can be listened to on stations nationwide, or via live streaming.

Obama Still Race Baiting Fake Ferguson “Hands Up” Case

/6 Comments/in , /by

By Daniel Greenfield. Obama is impervious to truth. It’s like he had Goebbels as his civics teacher. The only thing he knows is how to keep on lying.

His own corrupt Attorney General was forced to acknowledge that the whole Michael Brown “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” thing was a myth. It’s now as official as anything gets.

Does that stop Obama? Good luck. Instead he goes to Selma and Fergusons is up there.

“Of course, a more common mistake is to suggest that Ferguson is an isolated incident; that racism is banished; that the work that drew men and women to Selma is now complete, and that whatever racial tensions remain are a consequence of those seeking to play the “race card” for their own purposes. We don’t need the Ferguson report to know that’s not true. We just need to open our eyes, and our ears, and our hearts to know that this nation’s racial history still casts its long shadow upon us.”

Race relations worse under Obama: Poll

By Press TV. A new opinion poll shows that race relations have deteriorated in the United States since President Barack Obama took office.

Four in ten Americans say relations between blacks and whites have gotten worse under the Obama administration, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.


Forty-five percent of respondents said race relations remain the same under Obama, while only 15 percent said they have improved.

On Saturday, President Obama made a speech at a commemorative ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the historic civil rights marches from Selma to Montgomery, known as the “Bloody Sunday.”

“We just need to open our eyes, and ears, and hearts, to know that this nation’s racial history still casts its long shadow upon us,” Obama told thousands of people from across the country who packed the town of Selma, Alabama, for commemorations of the march 50 years ago.

Democrats are Planning to Win Elections Using Illegal Aliens Votes

/7 Comments/in , /by

The Obama Democrats have an audacious scheme for winning future elections. They just plan to import 5 million non-citizens and credential them as voters who will, in gratitude, vote Democratic.

The way this devious formula works is stunningly simple. Just get the new Republican Congress (under Speaker John Boehner and Sen. Mitch McConnell) to pass a full-funding bill for Homeland Security without any exception for the funding of Obama’s illegal executive amnesty, which will allow Obama to give work permits, Social Security numbers and driver’s licenses to 5 million illegal aliens.

Once the 5 million so-called undocumented persons are given those valuable documents, there is no way to stop them from voting. That conclusion is drawn from the testimony of voting experts such as Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who told the U.S. House Oversight Committee on Feb. 12, “It’s a guarantee it will happen.”

Kobach’s warning was reinforced by testimony before the same committee by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, who noted that the 5 million non-citizens would receive the “same documents that federal law requires the states to recognize as valid forms of identification for voter registration.” And once an alien registers to vote, Kobach said, it is “virtually impossible” to remove him from the voter rolls.

A third witness, Hans von Spakovsky, suggested that Social Security numbers issued to the 5 million illegal aliens should contain a code (such as “N” for non-citizen) that would instantly reveal their ineligibility to vote. But that simple fix would happen only if the Obama administration sincerely wants to keep them from voting, which I doubt. (Read more about the Democrats using illegal aliens votes HERE)

Netanyahu Showdown With Iran a ‘Replay of Bible Story’

/6 Comments/in , /by

Christian supporters of Israel see Tuesday’s address to Congress by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as more than just a political speech . . .

With the Feast of Purim and Netanyahu’s speech converging in the same week, there are lessons to be drawn from history, they say.

Purim celebrates Queen Esther’s brave intervention to stop a plot that, if allowed to go forward, would have led to a genocide against the Jews . . .

Netanyahu’s speech Tuesday will occur on the biblical Fast of Esther – the same day Mordecai told Queen Esther of Haman’s evil plot to kill the Jews and pleaded for her to approach the king of Persia on Israel’s behalf . . .

Could Congress be Israel’s modern-day Esther? Is Netanyahu, a modern-day Mordecai, pleading with America’s legislative body, the one that most directly represents the American people, to intervene in the situation by asking the “king” to foil the scheme of the ant-Semitic Haman, who in this case is the Iranian regime?

Obama’s Chilling Iran Nuke Lie

/4 Comments/in , /by

Reports that President Obama agrees Iran should be free to make a nuclear bomb in about 10 years put the lie to his repeated vow never to allow an Iranian nuke. The broken promise is the international twin to his domestic whopper that you “can keep your doctor.”

You can’t, but Iran can keep its enriched uranium, making this lie an even bigger bombshell. As in, bombs away.

It is impossible to overstate the potential catastrophe of the emerging deal. If the terms reported by the Associated Press, the Wall Street Journal and others become final, it would mean the United States and leading UN powers give their blessing for the world’s largest sponsor of terrorism to have the ultimate weapon, effectively rewarding Iran for decades of criminal behavior and acts of war against America, Israel and others.

The deal also would launch a new round of nuclear proliferation among Arab states, with Saudi Arabia long promising to get a bomb if Iran does. Others fearful of Iran’s dominance are sure to follow, escalating the tit-for-tat patterns in the region into a nuclear nightmare.

In addition, an unbound Iranian nuclear industry and spreading enrichment technology make it likely that one or more of the Islamic terror groups, including Hamas, Hezbollah, al Qaeda, Boko Haram and Islamic State, is likely to get the bomb. And there is no doubt they would use it. (Read more about the Iran nuke lie HERE)

The Mess Called Common Core

/2 Comments/in , /by

I was skeptical at first. As a 25-year retired educator I understand how things work on the inside and saw flaws in peoples’ arguments against it – or so I thought. I attended a Common Core Unveiled meeting that gave me evidence of a problem that far surpassed my skepticism, so I began to investigate further. There are several components to Common Core, and they all raise alarm.

First is the standards themselves. Have you ever heard of the ‘dumbing-down’ of America? I have figured one part of how they are accomplishing that. We were sold a philosophy with Everyday Math that I see in the standards of Common Core. It is called ‘spiraling’ and it replaces ‘mastery’ in education. With ‘mastery’ you master certain basic concepts before moving on to more complicated ones. With ‘spiraling’ you are hit with a tiny bit of many concepts every year in the hopes you will ‘catch on’ sooner or later. I saw first hand that it doesn’t work.

Many communities are sounding an alarm about Common Core textbooks incorporating a variety of curriculum that indoctrinates children in such areas as sexuality, homosexuality, and Islam. It is a little long, but I urge you to watch the Common Core video here:

Problems I see with Adaptive Testing are validity, violation of privacy, and potential for outright brainwashing. Districts ahead of us with testing say their length, difficulty, and inappropriate content are major issues. One aspect of Adaptive Testing is the ability to change questions on the tests so that one student/community is given more difficult test questions than another. You might question my brainwashing statement, but ‘forced compliance’ is nothing less than that. Student privacy is violated with the contract that our state DEED signed requiring testing data is shared with the federal DOE, and other ‘end users’.

Data Mining is here, and student testing is one component that those who compile data are looking forward to incorporating into their businesses to share or sell worldwide. We live in a glass bowl – especially if you talk on a phone, use a computer, use the internet, or have email. Did you know they are using our PFD information to identify Alaskans for their database?

Then there is the deception by our State DEED Commissioner regarding Alaska Standards that he claims publicly are not Common Core, but privately are Common Core.

Do you realize where this is headed? Federal control of education is merely a steppingstone toward UN control and world domination. They change the name every so often (right now it is called Common Core), but the goals are the same. How do you feel about that?
