It isn’t a coincidence that governments everywhere want to educate children. Government education, in turn, is supposed to be evidence of the state’s goodness and its concern for our well-being. The real explanation is less flattering. If the government’s propaganda can take root as a children grow up, those kids will be no threat to the state apparatus. They’ll fasten the chains to their own ankles.

While various groups have refuted the truth of NASA’s moon landings since the mid-1970s, consider that the moon landings themselves weren’t the big lie that NASA and other government agencies sold to the world. 😉
Well, since our domestic and racial enemies are so very fond of reidentifying things – e.g., racism, sexism, violence, terrorism, men, women, and children – I’ve decided to reidentify firearms as cordless hole punchers. 😉
Nothing to see here. Move right along. This is just what actually fuels an Electric Vehicle (EV). And please, please, please don’t consider the fully weighted comparative environmental costs of your brand now, sparkly, virtue vehicle. 😛
Yes. That’s what I do. I read books of all sorts. I drink coffee in what most would consider improperly copious amounts. And I know things, things both sublime and uplifting and things dark, noisome, and soul-staining.
Yeah, we don’t talk about Pluto being a planet or why it was “reclassified” as a Dwarf Planet. It’s highly frowned upon amongst the “intelligentsia” to do so and even more derided among the Liberals and Progressives, who will call one some variant of “knuckle-dragging science-denier.” Nobody is supposed to talk about how in August of 2006 a mostly European conclave of accepted masters of the astronomy, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), needed to make a new definition for planet so that an American wouldn’t be credited with discovering Planet X.
And, for the many of you that don’t know, Pluto was just collateral damage. The IAU’s exuberance of Humpty-Dumptyism was aimed at permanently refuting the discovery by and American of a planetary body past Pluto.
But Maybe We Should Talk About Pluto
Accepted by so many, secular science and scientism aside, the effects of this choice and insult may just be more far-reaching than the vast majority of people want to understand and internalize. I mean really? You can’t look back and see what’s happened – and at what pace! – to the world since 2006 vs. what was happening before then? 😉
