Iserbyt goes on to state the following about why Americans do not understand what has
been happening to their children without their consent:
"The reason Americans do not understand this war is because it has been fought in secret
--- in the schools of our nation, targeting our children who are captive in classrooms. The
wagers of this war are using very sophisticated and effective tools." She then lists the
three primary strategies, which have proven to be quite effective, especially in that they
are never explained to any of the students (or their parents) as part of their actual public
education curriculum:
·
Hegelian Dialectic (common ground, consensus and compromise).
·
Gradualism (two steps forward, one step backward).
·
Semantic Deception (redefining terms to get agreement without understanding).
John Taylor Gatto, who was a New York City public school teacher for thirty years,
becoming both New York City Teacher of the Year and New York State Teacher of the Year
a total of four times combined, had the following to say on pgs. xxxv-xxxvi of his
groundbreaking 1992 book entitled Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of
Compulsory Schooling:
"I began to wonder, reluctantly, whether it was possible that being in school itself was
what was dumbing [the students] down. Was it possible I had been hired not to enlarge
children's power, but to diminish it? That seemed crazy on the face of it, but slowly I
began to realize that the bells and the confinement, the crazy sequences, the age-
segregation, the lack of privacy, the constant surveillance, and all the rest of the national
curriculum of schooling were designed exactly as if someone had set out to prevent
children from learning how to think and act, to coax them into addiction and dependent
behavior."
Gatto further explained on pg. 154 of his 2003 book, The Underground History of
American Education, the reasons why someone wanted the children dumbed down:
"Faced with the problem of dangerous educated adults, what could be more natural than a
factory to produce safely stupefied children? You've already seen that the system has only
limited regard for brainy people, so nothing is lost productively in dumbing down and
leveling the mass population, even providing a dose of the same for `gifted and talented'
children. And much can be gained in social efficiency. What motive could be more
`humane' than the wish to defuse the social dynamite positive science was endlessly
casting off as a byproduct of its' success?"
Further evidence of this agenda to dumb-down the population is found within the pages of
a May 1979 Bilderberg Group internal white paper that had been leaked to the public in
1986, which has become generally known as Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars. Because the
Bilderberg Group is an international group, this document was likely the creation of the
Tavistock Institute, which itself does study and implement the psychological programming
of large societal groups. This 56-page report describes the many ways by which large
societal groups of people can be programmed, and manipulated by the analysis of
