ARTH ping
Classrooms and campuses provide physical control over students for nearly two decades of their lives. That control was initially used for simple dogmatic preaching. Then it escalated to cult behavior with classroom role-playing rituals encouraging mass expressions of love and hate, transformations of sexual and gender identity, detachment from friends and family, and violent displays of pain and rage.

The belief can be anything, but the pseudo-religious ritual taps into an emotional core requiring them to believe that they were bad people, and that by accepting this new belief, they are now good people.
This false conversion is the essence of brainwashing and of leftist political awakening narratives. And BHO/HRC 101.

“Behind the theories and manifestos is a great darkness of fear and terror, of love and hate, of emotional instability and vulnerability on which its lies and propaganda are built.”
Mostly envy. Of all the mortal sins, envy is the most corrosive.
Envy is at the core of our destructive cultural devide that exists today, and the left is constantly stoking it.

Four fifths of our media ‘believes’ it is part of the same Hillary social construct system ‘she represented’, benefiting them all politically, socially and financially...... But within that system is grave incompetency...which is why they don't want transparency or accountability..because then they have to work harder to divert attention away from their incompetence and corruption.

The environmental crisis is just one example of how leftist movements can brainwash a nation. The growing number of millennials who say that they will not have children because of environmental panic is an example of how brainwashing can make suicidal behavior seem like self-preservation. Tucker Carlson needs to invite Greenfield to discuss this issue...

Smart people make the best brainwashing targets. Cults recruit bright students on college campuses, they target aspiring executives looking for leadership training, and dissatisfied professionals searching for meaning. Cults are rarely made up of stupid people. Theyre made up of smart, vulnerable people. Human beings dont behave rationally. We rationalize our behavior.If facebook and Hollywood don't figure it out - AI will ... so how do we stop the process from destroying us?

Any con artist knows that you can con smart people more easily then ordinary people.
Ordinary people have few illusions about their abilities. They know their limits and have a tendency to say, "let me think about this" and walk away to do their own research.
The Smart people do not. Secure in the belief in their own superiority they do not check things out but eagerly will swallow what ever you feed them as long as you can make it sound logical and intelligent.
You just have to twist the facts a bit, leave a few things out, flatter and presto! They are eating out of your hand. Ready to hand over their wallet, child and even their life if you have enough time.

AND make THEM appear logical and intelligent. The essence of successful brainwashing...

CIRCA 2015 Obama Executive Order Unleashes Behavioral Science Squad to Nudge You
by Alex Neman Sept. 18, 2015, The New American Under the guise of better serving the American people through government, Obama signed an executive order last year calling for federal agencies and departments to deploy emerging behavioral science techniques against the public. The Obama order also establishes a Social and Behavioral Sciences Team charged with applying psychological research to manipulate the beliefs and behaviors of Americans under various pretexts, and guide the vast federal bureaucracy as it hones its abilities to manipulate the public.
Important reply Liz - thanks...

That is where the flattery comes in.
They are Special! You are talking to them because you recognize their superiority. You are humbled and awed to find such a wonderful person to present such an amazing opportunity to.
If you find someone who is grounded and intelligent they will laugh at you and walk away.
If they don't, you have hooked them. Best of all they will never admit they have been conned.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

We are fortunate to have Greenfield with us, he is an intellect par excellence. Worth repeating because it's so true. A truly great intellect and this is one of his best writings.
