In 1949, two very competent people, neither
knowing the other, were performing assigned duties in China, shortly before the
Nationalist government was overthrown and Chiang Kai-Shek
was forced to retreat to Taiwan.
Each of these two men, a specialist in
his own field, came to the same conclusions about a strange phenomenon both
witnessed in China. One called it
brainwashing, the other called it the "tenth principle of warfare" in
use in China courtesy of its ally, the Soviet Union. Both men were right, and both were also
wrong. Hunter, a foreign
correspondent for a major news service in the United States, recognized the
phenomenon as a method of altering the thought process. Hutton, A Colonel in the United States
Armed Forces, found its special function in military application was to paralyze
the will to resist.
What these two men observed was the
activation of a management and control system, used to hold captive the second
largest nation on earth, and at that time being used to conquer the most
populous. Each man identified it as
it impacted his particular field of expertise, not as it impacted the entirety.
In 1949, George Counts, professor at
Teacher's College, Columbia University, who had for years enthusiastically
supported the Soviet regime, but who more recently had become embittered when
the Soviets made a deal with Hitler, exposed their secret weapon in a his book,
The Country of the Blind, and in a article he wrote for the NEA Journal, in 1951.
In the book, Counts described the use of The System to control the
economy in the Soviet Union. In the
article, Counts described The System as,
. . . the product of perverted genius. It is the most comprehensive thing of
its kind in history . . . Employing with complete ruthlessness and singleness
of purpose all the resources of science, of mechanical invention, of medicine
and psychology, it is able to attain power and reach heights of efficiency
which dwarf the efforts of previous despotisms.
Twenty years later, a homemaker in
California inadvertently uncovered evidence of that same system in a textbook,
up for adoption in that state in 1969.
In the teachers' manual for those texts, the anomaly was called
"Planning, Programming and Budgeting Systems" (PPBS). Eventually, it became known that the
California legislature had been implementing various pieces of PPBS for years and did not have a clue what they were
building: a replacement
system for the lawful government of the United States.
PPBS has gone on to become known by other names: mastery learning,
outcome-based education (aka performance-based,
competency-based . . . education, . . . aka education reform), performance-based budgeting, total
quality management, continuous quality improvement . . . all built on the same
framework of systems thinking or systems theory. This massive system, built in a
wholistic web encompassing and controlling all facets of the life of the
populace, is based on data feedback – the establishment of massive
computer systems holding personally identifiable information on every man,
woman and child in Washington State and the United States. That system is being built as this is
written.
It is the same system described by the
two men in China in 1949. It is
easy to oppose communism in name, it is not so easy to know what the system is,
what it looks like, what it does, unless one has studied the semantics of
communism and recognizes the component parts. Performance-based education is a
communist system of education that intertwines with all other systems, until no
one system can be extricated from the other, until the lines of any one system
are so blurred that one cannot discern them.
In his rise to power, Hitler stated
that it gave him great pleasure that the people did not know what was happening
to them. The United States saved
what remained of the German people following Hitler's heinous acts in his
efforts to establish the perfect system.
Who will save the American people from the same fate?
It is easy to call people opposed to
this "system" as "right wing", "extremist",
"right wing religious fanatics", make fun of, laugh at, etc, etc,
etc, but I have to ask: will those same people feel so smart down the road when
they realize they have been used to destroy their own freedom, liberty and
justice? It can't happen here? It is happening here — just as it
did in Germany with people not realizing what is happening to them.

With appreciation
to Maureen Heaton for her untiring commitment to our nation and our continued
freedom, liberty, and justice. Special note: Maureen passed over to the other side in
2000. She will be sorely missed.
The above letter to the Senate and
House Republican legislators, serves as a prelude to the following links that
outline the communist strategy for destroying a nation — more especially,
the American nation. How many of
these goals and strategies have already been, or are now being, implemented in
the United States?
