Obama Orders Military To Prepare For Spring Food Riots

Obama Orders Military To Prepare For Spring Food Riots

Has anyone else seen this? This article was in the EU Times NOT an American newspaper. Are the Europeans trying to tell us something our own President is not?

"According to this report, Sarkozy, as head of the G-20 group of developed Nations, called for and received an emergency meeting with Obama this past Monday at the White House wherein he warned his American counterpart that the shock rise in food prices occurring due to an unprecedented series of disasters was threatening the stability of the entire World and could lead to the outbreak of Total Global War."

You can't help but wonder what these guys are really doing behind our backs. So much for transparency, huh?

As schools tighten budgets, lists of supplies get longer: Rutland Herald Online

As schools tighten budgets, lists of supplies get longer: Rutland Herald Online

"Pre-kindergartners in the Joshua school district in Texas have to track down Dixie cups and paper plates, while students at New Central Elementary in Havana, Ill., and Mesa Middle School in Castle Rock, Colo., must come to class with a pack of printer paper. Wet Swiffer refills and plastic cutlery are among the requests from St. Joseph School in Seattle. And at Pauoa Elementary School in Honolulu, every student must show up with a four-pack of toilet paper."

Yet another good reason to homeschool. Think for a minute. You go out and purchase all these supplies for your child's school and you STILL pay exorbitant property taxes which go toward salaries and the physical plant. Where does it end?

Heritage asks 'What is President Obama's Education Agenda?'

In this short and to the point article The Heritage Foundation asks the question: What is President Obama's Education Agenda?' Well...

"National standards would not make public schools accountable to families; rather, they would make schools responsive to bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. Moreover, national standards and tests would be a one-size-fits-all approach that tends toward mediocrity and standardization, undercutting the pockets of excellence and the principle of federalism on which this nation is founded."

No surprise there. This has been going on for years. It was called Goals 2000 and Outcome Based Education when my children were younger. I wonder what pithy name it will be given this time? Problem is it's the same ol' same ol' and won't do anything to help create an educated populace. Once again it will simply increase the number of homeschoolers in this country when parents realize the damage it is doing to their children in public school. Those Democrats just keep on making my job easier and easier.

Children Exposed to Montana Sex-Ed for Kindergartners Will ‘Suffer in Countless Ways’

Children Exposed to Montana Sex-Ed for Kindergartners Will ‘Suffer in Countless Ways’

When will parents learn what public schooling is all about? What makes them think they can change or control public schooling from the inside? These days it's child neglect if you put your child into public school and it's child abuse if you allow your child to linger there year after year.

When you sign your child into public school your signature gives that school permission to teach whatever they want. In essence you've made the choice to follow the whims and policies of the public school. Once a parent gets that through their thick skull they may be able to finally see the real agenda of public schooling and decide not to participate.

Stop feeding the monster and it will eventually deflate or implode. Keep your child far away from those who would do harm to them, their education and to your family. Take charge of your life and take charge of your child's education. This means taking your child out of public school and finding a better and more wholesome alternative. You don't have the luxury of wasting time trying to reform the public schools since children grow up far too quickly. There is no time to waste.

New Hampshire middle school leader comes to Poultney High: Rutland Herald Online

New Hampshire middle school leader comes to Poultney High: Rutland Herald Online

Revolving door principals.

When I attended junior and senior high school we had 5 different principals in those 6 years! I'm just happy a dear girl I know at Poultney High School had the good sense to leave it behind this year and start homeschooling. Life is so much better when people lead family centered lives...not school centered lives. Move on people. There is a whole new world out there beyond public schooling that's full of wonder, truth and success. You don't need a diploma to partake in it either!

Independent gubernatorial candidate finally gets his say: Times Argus Online

Independent gubernatorial candidate finally gets his say: Times Argus Online

It took a bogus arrest and court appearance for Dennis to have his voice heard over the puppet campaigns of both Democrat and Republican gubernatorial candidates here in Vermont.

Note that Dennis is wearing a flannel shirt which is a normal part of his wardrobe. The only time you see our present governor or lieutenant governor wearing flannel shirts is when they run for office and want to 'dress down' in order to make people think they're regular Vermonters. In my estimation our present puppet governor and tailcoat lieutenant governor are as useful at tits on a bull! If integrity was a thunder mug our governor and lieutenant governor wouldn't have a pot to piss in!

Kudos to Dennis Steele and our Dork Award to our present governor and lieutenant governor!

Gerald Celente on The Alex Jones 05 Mar 2010




"Princeton, Harvard, Yale...Bullets, Bombs and Banks! They're robbing us blind and sending us to our deaths!" Gerald Celente

Are you aware? Are you teaching current events to your homeschooler? Here's an interesting take on civics, history and current events. Is this the reason homeschoolers are such a threat to public schooling and why government officials continue to crack down on homeschoolers? Hmmmmm.

Mother furious after in-school clinic sets up teen's abortion | KOMO News - Breaking News, Sports, Traffic and Weather - Seattle, Washington | Local & Regional

Mother furious after in-school clinic sets up teen's abortion | KOMO News - Breaking News, Sports, Traffic and Weather - Seattle, Washington | Local & Regional

"When she signed a consent form, Jill figured it meant her 15 year old could go to the Ballard Teen Health Center located inside the high school for an earache, a sports physical, even birth control, but not for help terminating a pregnancy."

This mom is clueless! Sneaky actions like this have been going on in public schools since the Clinton's were in the White House so what is her excuse for not knowing?

"We had no idea this was being facilitated on campus," said Jill. "They just told her that if she concealed it from her family, that it would be free of charge and no financial responsibility."

Who gets to pay for the years of therapy this young girl is going to need now?

"The Seattle School District says it doesn't run the health clinics at high schools. Swedish Medical Center runs the clinic at Ballard High and protects the students' privacy."

Why is Sweden running these clinics in American schools?

The War on Kids...Public Schools Or Prisons? You decide!

It seems like every decade a pattern of bizarre behavior surfaces in our public schools. I'm not talking about the students here but of the schools themselves and their policies. When we first started homeschooling and I became a home education advocate parents would come to me complaining about the behavior modification and indoctrination in global community their children were being subjected to in public schools. We were finally able to put our finger on it and pinpoint the culprit...OBE...outcome based education.

What is it now? What is it called today? Zero tolerance? Not sure but take a look at this documentary titled 'The War on Kids' directed by Cevin Soling. This is chilling!

Be sure to check out the trailer at youtube along with several other amazing clips here and here.

Fortunately, many parents are finally catching on. They're reworking their priorities and finances in order to rescue their children from the grips of public schooling. For some it's too late but we need to keep up the pressure to get children out of these dangerous hell holes. People who work in these public schools are only prolonging the problem and should be ashamed of themselves for perpetrating such a horrific injustice on these innocent children. What is happening in public schools is nothing short of criminal and unconstitutional.

The gauntlet is laid before your feet. It is a war and I for one am willing to lead with the battle cry....GET THE CHILDREN OUT NOW!

FOXNews.com - GOP Senators Question $1M Salary for Boys and Girls Club CEO

FOXNews.com - GOP Senators Question $1M Salary for Boys and Girls Club CEO

Posted using ShareThis

"The four senators said they were concerned that the chief executive of a charity that has been closing local clubs for lack of funding was compensated nearly $1 million in 2008. They also questioned why in the same year officials spent $4.3 million on travel, $1.6 million on conferences, conventions and meetings, and $544,000 in lobbying fees."

Lobbying fees? For what, more money!

"Roxanne Spillett, president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, received a total compensation of $988,591 in 2008, according to the charity's tax filings. She got a base salary of $360,774, a bonus of $150,000 and other compensation of $83,152, for a total of $593,926. She also received $385,500 in deferred compensation, most of which went to a retirement plan, and $9,165 in nontaxable benefits."

This is wrong on so many levels. It really doesn't pay to donate on a national level and probably never did. Be sure you know where your money goes!

Hooray! One less day in the system will benefit everyone, especially the children. What will parents and children do with that extra day off? Homeschool? De-school? Maybe once they get a taste of freedom (if only for one day) they may convert to homeschooling full-time. We can only hope.

Imagine seeing your child for only 1 hour every 5 weeks...

Can you imagine giving birth to your child and raising and loving him for 7 years? Now, imagine you live in a country where the government takes your child away because you chose to homeschool him. Can you imagine being allowed by that government to see your child for only 1 hour every 5 weeks? Difficult to imagine? Not for these parents.

If, for one moment, you can imagine what being a POW feels like, then try to imagine what this 7 year old is going through.

Sweden...the country of cruelty!

State takes custody of 7-year-old over homeschooling

State takes custody of 7-year-old over homeschooling

Make a stink over this folks! It doesn't matter this is happening in Sweden. This is a familiar scene in America as well, I know, I've seen it first hand.

"In an online statement at the time, Johansson said, "While we may do things differently than most Swedes, we have not broken any laws and we have not harmed our son. We decided as a family that we wanted to move to India where we could be near my wife's family. But the government has taken over my family, and now we are living in a nightmare. I fear for the life of my wife under this torture and for the well-being of my son who has only been allowed to see his parents for a few hours since he was taken. The government is alienating my son from me, and I am powerless to do anything."

Social workers think they are GOD! All the ones that I've met are miserable, self-serving, bitter elitist. They are some of the most dangerous people to walk this planet because they abuse their authority and know how to get away with it. I haven't met a social worker yet that gave a rat's ass about the welfare of children and I've met many of them. They were all on some sort of ego trip and were more concerned about their job security and the power that comes with it!

Make a BIG stink over this!!!

World Net Daily has done a great job of following this story and has a long list of links so that others can learn more.

Public school graduates and college students jeopardizing our liberty?

Joe Wolverton, II writes this article for New American revealing how college students are failing miserably at learning civics according to ISI (Intercollegiate Studies Institute). The basic knowledge these young minds lack is standard information we learned in elementary school when I was a child. How is it these college students don't know the basics? Could it be the elementary, middle and high schools in this country are deliberately skipping this information or, worse, teaching too much mind numbing liberal junk?

"ISI, a conservative non-profit educational organization, has recently published the results of this sweeping survey in a 32-page report entitled “The Shaping of the American Mind: The Diverging Influences of the College Degree and Civic Learning on American Beliefs.” Sit down before you read this report because the data will knock you off your feet. " 

Are you sitting down?

"So, while our nation’s most elite colleges are not imbuing our children with a knowledge of our history and our government, the study makes it clear that those universities are becoming round the clock factories churning out poorly instructed liberals with little civic knowledge and even less faith and less devotion to principles of liberty than those Americans who didn’t go to college. "


Take the Civics Quiz yourself here at ISI or watch the ISI video here. Kudos to ISI for all they do!
