Obama’s agendas
Obama & education: privatization + federalization + dumbing-down
..That’s not the worst part of standardized exams. They are a ‘dumbing down’ tool, greatly lowering the standard of education. That’s been the experience in the UK. Instead of a teaching-learning environment, you get an environment where kids are drilling specifically to get good marks on the standardized tests.

High-Speed Rail Drives Obama’s Transportation Agenda
Interestingly, this article does not talk about who is to build the high-speed system, who will own it, or who will operate it. We hear only about limited Federal funding, and about possible routes. We do get this clue: …”Beyond Amtrak” makes it pretty clear we’re talking about a privatized…

David Icke: Please Don’t Riot… It’s Just What They Want
I don’t usually pay much attention to David Icke. He talks about angels and shape-shifters and who knows what, and he focuses heavily on Zionism as the great evil.
