Part 2: Are Parents the Primary Stakeholders in their Children's Upbringing?
Plato, Karl Marx, Klaus Schwaub and the National Education Assocation say they're not.
In Part 1 of this article I introduced the importance of understanding why parents do not show up anywhere in Washington law as “stakeholders” in the public school system, and I hinted at the reason when I quoted George Bush’s vision for the New World Order.
The American government-run school system didn’t fall apart organically—like an old car that slowly breaks down as a result of time and neglect. Our school system has been designed, over time and with careful attention, to achieve a very different goal than what parents had in mind when they proudly registered their pride and joy for the first day of kindergarten.
And it’s not just parents who are waking up to the not-so-secret agenda behind government-run schooling. I would guess that 90 percent of the teachers and administrators who made the noble choice to devote their careers to education were not aware that they were also being groomed for a job in sales and marketing for the Globalist agenda.
The result of this growing awareness is a feeling of collective emotional whiplash.
Why? Why do the elites who planned and executed this agenda have no regard for human life and the sanctity of family, or the innocence of children?
How? How is it possible that we let all this happen right under our noses, and how do we turn this ship around?
Last week I watched the new documentary Whose Children Are They? Theaters across America released the movie a couple weeks ago, for one night only, and now parents are hosting watch parties across our state in homes and churches. I was nauseated and cried through most of the film, as educators came forward to expose the National Education Association to be a propaganda machine for Critical Race Theory, transgenderism, Marxism, and pedophilia grooming. The movie was very well done, but it was missing the key element that most of us need to understand the big picture—the history.
If we know when, where and why this Globalist agenda began, we can give ourselves a fighting chance at destroying it. And—God help us—we might have a shot at rescuing our dear friends and family who have fallen prey to the hypnotic power of the propaganda.
Last week a group of fired-up parents from across the state met in Snoqualmie Valley to take a class from Mark Herr with The Center for Self Governance (CSG). Mark took us back to Greece in 375 BCE, when the seeds of the New World Order were first planted into the minds of humankind by a man named Plato, who wrote a dialogue between a character named Socrates and his students in The Republic.
The method by which Socrates questions his students in order to facilitate philosophical debate has been named “the Socratic Method”. It has been put on a pedestal as the gold standard for teaching students to think critically.
Despite the merits of Socrates method, Plato’s conclusions in The Republic might actually be the most dangerous philosophy ever presented to humankind.
The Republic was meant to be a manual for creating the ideal city-state—a solution for a Greece that was obviously failing to foster domestic peace. Plato’s version of a republic is not the same as the American founding fathers’ vision for ours. In fact, there are apparently 314 versions of a republic in existence that we know, so be sure not to collapse them all into one idea. Even Google and Wikipedia can’t agree on a definition for the word “republic”, except to say that it’s not a monarchy.
Plato regarded politics as a dirty business that had to be carried out to manipulate the unthinking masses. His disdain for the poor common folk of Greece was obvious, as he explained why a well-functioning society would naturally be divided into classes. The more I read, the more I could hear a blatant patronizing tone undergirding the whole dialogue.
Mark with CSG gave us a brief overview of the key elements of Platoism. In the interest of being a decent journalist I didn’t take Mark’s word for it. I read a great deal of The Republic myself, and concluded that Mark’s summary checks out.
The backbone of Plato’s manual for the ideal society is the creation of a “Guardian Class” of soldiers, who would be educated and trained to defend the interest of the city-state. In order to facilitate their obedience, Plato suggests that the Guardian class would separate themselves from the other classes of Greek society to raise their children communally. Children would not be permitted to recognize their birth parents. Family loyalties were labeled “old time” and seen as detrimental to the state. Birth mothers would be prohibited from nursing their biological children and would instead give them up to state-designated wet nurses. Eugenics would be implemented—the practice of improving the genetic quality of the class by excluding certain people from breeding. Marriage for love or attraction would be outlawed as capricious and unsound, and all sexual intercourse would be strictly umpired.
Can you see how some of these practices were attempted, in part, by the families of monarchs across Europe centuries later?
Plato continues to wax eloquent about the brilliance of his plan, asserting that abolishing traditional parenthood would make all the children treasured by all the grown-ups. The Guardians, as an entire class, would be one big happy family, ignoring the chemistry between couples and the natural bonds between mothers and their infants.
Other key elements of Plato’s version of the ideal city-state include the “excretion” of any non-essential worker (i.e. the old and infirm), and the need for the rulers of the city-state to spread an idea called “The Noble Lie”—convincing the citizens of the necessity for them to stay confined to their class system. Most importantly, the governing class will determine what behaviors are considered selfish, and which are selfless.
Does this sound familiar? For the last two years social media has been drenched in propaganda telling us that wearing a mask and getting the vaccine were the selfless thing to do. All day long the mainstream media tells the Noble Lie, in perfect unison: “Russia, Russia, Russia”….”Hunter Biden is the smartest man I know”….”Donald Trump is a racist”….and now “Putin is to blame for the price of gas.”
But I digress…
In the dialogue between Socrates and his students (remember that Socrates is just a character in Plato’s writing—the voice of Plato’s views), Socrates fields many objections to his version of Utopia. The students protest that his vision for the Guardian class depersonalizes almost every aspect of the state. Socrates agrees. Depersonalization is his very intent. He says that personal ambitions, greed, and petty jealousy are what disrupt society and breed animosity between people. He believes unity and harmony in the state should be achieved at whatever cost. That cost is the unique individuality of the human soul. It is to be rooted out with state-run education, and communal upbringing. He even suggests that children should be brought onto the battlefield at a young age to be made accustomed to the horrors of war.
Parents, are you beginning to see the common thread of ideology between Plato’s most famous written work still studied over 2500 years later and the agenda of the New World Order? Can you hear it bleeding through the statement "You will own nothing and be happy," said by Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum and author of “The Great Reset”?
“Oh, but it was so long ago. Humans have evolved since the barbaric times of the Greeks!”, your progressive friends say.
Really? Perhaps the masses have evolved, but have the ruling elite evolved with them? Or have they clung to Platoism with a white-knuckled grip? Let your memory meander through history. If your public school system failed you by not providing enough history in your curriculum, than surely you have watched enough of the History Channel and Viet Nam War movies to know that Platoism has simply changed its brand name to Communism.
I learned just last week that Karl Marx and Frederick Engels were hired by the German elite to write the Communist Manifesto in 1848. The Manifesto was simply government propaganda--the reincarnation of The Republic.
As I was reading excerpts of Plato’s words, I was struck by their eerie similarity to the description of societies created and run by artificial intelligence in modern Sci-Fi movies. Scenes from Battlestar Galactic, The Matrix, Hunger Games, and StarTrek ran across the silver screen of my memory.
Plato wrote without soul, robotic, as if he’d never held his own newborn. Was he a psychopath, or just an old man tired of the hedonism and war of ancient Greece?
Mark with CSG pointed out another foundational element of Platoism: the Greeks hated women. I corroborated this point with my own research.
Famous Greek poetry drips with misogyny, describing women as a plague to men, directly responsible for all the evils and suffering of the entire universe. Apparently Greek men hated women because they could withhold sex to motivate men to go to war. Woman are, they believed, the source of all evil but the only means to produce more soldiers for war—a conundrum for sure. Plato knew that the best way to break a woman into submission is to take her babies from her and force them to be raised by the state.
My dear readers, this article could go on for days, ad nauseam. But I’ll pause for now in the telling of the story of how our role as parents was first identified as the most important bond to break if you wish to establish Platoism, AKA Communism, AKA Globalism.
The next article will pick up in Prussia in 1836, when Harriet Beecher Stowe’s hubby visited the country to see the first model of government-run schools, designed specifically to separate children from their parents’ influence. It’s another story that will turn your stomach. But let’s save that for next week. For now, I must turn my attentions away from the computer to the duties and joys of being a mother—joys I treasure even more than I did before I learned of this 2,500 year-old plot to cut the cord of divine connection between my beloved son and my heart.
I hope that by now you’re beginning to formulate a better understanding of why we ought not be shocked that we’re fighting for our right to put “parental controls” on the public school system.
It wasn’t designed to support our children; it was designed to support the state.
Don’t worry, my dear readers. The modern-day Platoists will not succeed.
As Mark said in our CSG training, “The Achilles heel of Platoism is Mommyhood”.
God as my witness, my children will be mine. Eryn, you are taking heroic steps and I thank you.
Great article!!
