The change in mass psychology has been largely successful. In schools, colleges, many industries and businesses, local and federal governments- and most importantly, Media and Gov’t Bureaucracies. A very large number of Americans are VERY THOROUGHLY brainwashed, and we will not convince them otherwise. Yuri Bezmenov advises us, “they are contaminated … you can show them black is black and white is white, and they will not believe.”

It is a situation rather like the invasion of the body snatchers. They are all around us, they are no longer like us at all, they mean to destroy everything we hold dear, and we have no REAR AREA in this war with them.

One thing that is not made clear by people like Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter, etc. is that U.S. Liberals do not know they are working to DESTROY America for our enemies. They think they are making a better America.

Notice that Gramsci believed that this mass psychology method, The Long March through the Institutions, could not be defeated through violence.

They have already nearly won total victory. We will not easily prevail.

Beverly,

No, it was not a school for kids who were in trouble or had been kicked out of school. The curriculum there was based on “experiential education.”

Experiential education is “a philosophy of education that focuses on the transactive process between teacher and student involved in direct experience with the learning environment and content.” The Association for Experiential Education, which I was also involved with, “regards experiential education ‘as a philosophy and methodology in which educators purposefully engage with learners in direct experience and focused reflection in order to increase knowledge, develop skills and clarify values.’”

Experiential education is closely related to “educational progressivism.”

Educational progressivism is “the belief that education must be based on the principle that humans are social animals who learn best in real-life activities with other people. Progressivists claimed to rely on the best available scientific theories of learning.”

At the root of all this you will find the philosophy of “collectivism,” which in essence holds that the individual is nothing, the group is everything, and the the individual must sacrifice himself for the group whenever society, or its representative the state, deems this necessary.

Ayn Rand was absolutely right when she referred to progressive educators as “the Comprachicos of the mind.”

“Comprachicos (also comprapequeños) is a compound Spanish neologism meaning ‘child-buyers,’ which was created by Victor Hugo in his novel The Man Who Laughs. It refers to various groups in folklore who were said to change the physical appearance of human beings by manipulating growing children, in a similar way to the horticultural method of bonsai – or through deliberate mutilation. Allusion to this myth is common in reference to any group or body who seek to alter the minds of children through calculated manipulation.”

That describes leftist “progressive” education perfectly.

As to your question regarding ACORN, it would be a waste of time. They simply will not tell you the truth. They explain who they are and what they do on their website. They’ll feed you this same line. And it’s not exactly as though they’re lying, it’s just that when dealing with the public they use flowery, positive sounding language to disguise the subversive nature of their activities.

Simply put. They talk in code. But the sick thing about it is that the naive and brainwashed people at the lower levels don’t have a clue that that’s what they’re doing. The leadership knows better, however. They know exactly what they’re doing.

I wish I could, Beverly. The fact is that unless they’re caught engaging in illegal activity and convicted in a court of law, there is very little that can be done.

I don’t know if anyone has ever walked into one of their offices and made such demands. I suspect that they haven’t, and it probably wouldn’t accomplish much if they did.

I completely understand and share your frustration.

One reason our side is at a serious disadvantage is because we refuse to allow ourselves to be victims. These socialist activist groups appeal greatly to lazy, whiny people with a pathetic victim mentality. They promise to deliver great benefits and windfalls from their “activism” which in reality are just entitlements from the state, seized from productive fellow citizens. We promise no such thing. All we promise is freedom. And these people don’t want freedom because freedom means responsibility. They want everything free, handed to them on a government-subsidized silver platter.

Until this mentality begins to change, things will only get worse. And at this point it doesn’t show any signs of changing. It’s actually growing.

Good idea!
