What I meant was that there are ruling families. No, certainly in the public system, there are not. I'm familiar with the old conspiracy theories about politics generally -- the Rothschilds and whatnot. But I think they're really inapplicable, at least directly, when it comes to public education. P...

A "system" is not alive and cannot "serve itself." Maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems to me that you're anthropomorphizing it. No, I'm not doing that at all. A system is an impersonal entity that people create by collectivizing; but once it has been created, it generates its own r...

In short, they're happy to whistle while people go to Hell, just so the monolithic public system can continue to be the monolithic public system. And that's the truth. It is deliberate, carefully planned, and insidious so that the few can maintain power over the many. Systems are like that. They se...

I can answer that, BCM. The public school system is a monolithic institutional entity. In includes a wide variety of people of various ideological, cultural, religious and other stripes. The system's power depends on keeping all of these viewpoints suppressed, in favour of some minimum supposed &qu...

In the age of AI approachinf...what is a kid going to be taught but a reinterpretation of history? What is he going to need math or biology for? What is he going to even be needed for other than to act as a battery for the technocracy? Indeed. To this thread's creator, Public school teaches student...

I am becoming increasingly troubled by the idea that thinkers of the past who didn't even have the Internet seemed to have much more wisdom, knowledge, and depth than even the highly specialized professionals of today, who may be good at the one thing they rely on to pay their bills, but concerning...

People don't have time to read about what is destroying them. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's destroying people. Seduction doesn't destroy, it merely distracts. Okay, in the case of junk food, it's different. But watching a movie has never destroyed anyone, I think. People gain their identities...

Greetings new guy. I am the resident Gnostic Christian. Jesus talking. Luke 19:27 - “But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.” Regards DL Thank you for the welcome. I am a Bible-believing follower of Christ. "Then spake Je...

What bollocks. You talk as if single motherhood is a new phenomenon. When you do a bit of genealogical research you find that this is anything but the case. Women have been having and bringing up children on their own for as long as they have been having children. And what exactly is a 'real man'? ...

A great read! I can tell you put a lot of time, energy, and thought into this. And I'm glad you used the word "evil" at the end to describe this virtual reality that, similar to The Matrix film, gives us a pretty but false fiction to live in while the actual world had long been destroyed. ...

We are here to make a choice. This world reveals what type of people we really are. God could've created automatons, but he made us in his image and with the ability to choose him or Satan. Demons know God exists (James 2:19). So it's not only acknowledging his existence, but through your actions sh...

YHWH only loves those that love him. refer to the OT. not sure of Christian's view, (nor care - suspect it is "kick me while i'm down and i'll still love you" ) of their Christ, Jesus was a Jew and affirmed the OT of YHWH. "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not ...
