It’s Time To Rethink Education - Part 2 - Unschooling
There are several components, but the real shocker is that more of us aren’t embracing the current age of access to mastery of any topic. But that may not be so surprising—most of us were taught to be passive learners, to just “get through” school. It’s easy to be lazy. The rewards of becoming an autodidact, though, include igniting inner fires, making new connections to knowledge and skills you already have, advancing in your career, meeting kindred spirits, and cultivating an overall zest for life and its riches.
One good reason to dive head first into self-initiated learning is that much of what you were taught is already obsolete. “Knowledge workers succeed not based on what they know, but rather how they learn,” writes James Marcus Bach in his book, Secrets of a Buccaneer-Scholar. He dropped out of school when he was 14 and, in the early days of home computing, taught himself enough to become a software tester for Apple. He’s now an independent consultant.
Bach’s philosophy is rebellious yet inclusive: “Intellectual buccaneering is about self-education, but schools are OK, too. I’ve learned in schools, and I’ve learned from people who were trained in schools. I happily plunder knowledge wherever I find it.

Why The Documentary Must Not Be Allowed To Die
By John Pilger: I first understood the power of the documentary during the editing of my first film, The Quiet Mutiny.
In the commentary, I make reference to a chicken, which my crew and I encountered while on patrol with American soldiers in Vietnam.
“It must be a Vietcong chicken – a communist chicken,” said the sergeant. He wrote in his report: “enemy sighted”.
The chicken moment seemed to underline the farce of the war – so I included it in the film.

Washington Post Comes Out For War And More War
By Stephen Lendman: What’s euphemistically called defense spending is all about funding America’s war machine – always active, never idle, inventing enemies to attack.None existed since imperial Japan formally surrendered in 1945. Yet America is permanently at war directly or indirectly – at home on streets in minority (mainly Black) communities turned into battlegrounds, abroad in multiple theaters, new ones pending.
The Washington Post (WaPo): “The Pentagon and the welfare state have been locked in brutal combat for decades, and the Pentagon has gotten clobbered.”
“Protecting the country was once the first obligation of government. No more. Welfare programs – Social Security, Medicare, food stamps and other benefits – dwarf defense spending. As a result, we have become more vulnerable.”
Fact: The neocon Washington Post is connected to America’s intelligence community, mainly the CIA, operating as its virtual house organ, promoting militarism and warmaking, deploring world peace and stability.
Mackenzie Eaglen is a resident fellow at the hard-right American Enterprise Institute’s Marilyn Ware Center for Security Studies.
She works on defense strategy, defense budgets, and military readiness – earlier worked on these issues with House and Senate officials, as well as at the Pentagon’s Office of the Secretary of Defense.
Trump’s Doomsday Jerusalem Speech
'Why is it that the rest of
the world is following this
pied piper into
Armageddon?'
By Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich: In 1995, a few short years after the official end of the Cold War when hope-filled nations were focusing on peace and prosperity, the United States Congress unanimously passed the “Jerusalem Embassy Act” into law. The law recognized “Jerusalem” as the official capital of Israel. The passage of this law was left unnoticed by most. Few objected to a law passed by the preeminent power of the new unilateral world order. Fewer still understood the consequences of the law.
On December 6, Donald Trump reminded the world of the decision made years ago. There was outrage, but the true implications of this decision were not discussed. Predictably, stories centered on Palestinians – and Jews. Some justified the decision while others condemned it. Many reasoned that the Palestinians had to be defended. While others thought that it was up to the Arabs and Moslems to challenge America’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.The Jerusalem question raised legal challenges to religious claims. The cacophony of protests and cheers obscured the approaching doomsday scenario that had been in the making for decades.

The Feminist Mafia Hit Squad
Lamar Campbell: I'm here to save my brothers.
"The hit squad are going to come for the man, take his children away and put him on child support for 18 years. If times get hard the hit squad are going to hit him with a warrant and take his licence away or put him in jail and eventually make him a felon. Women have so much power in today's gynocentric world and we don't have an idea of how much power they truly have. ...Women have sold their soul to the devil to destroy men, brothers. We have to be aware of this, because we're in danger. ...In 2017 we're in bad shape and we have tyo look past the bullshit, we have to wake up."
The President Who Stole Christmas
'How can one man decide to take our historical capital away and give it to another country?'
James M. Wall writes: Below is an email from a close friend, Laurie Salameh. She lives in Jerusalem with her husband Estephan, and their three children. By Laurie Salameh: President Trump stole our Christmas. And he did it standing in front of Christmas trees.
In what was an unusually polished speech (for him), President Trump announced the U.S. recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and has plans to relocate the U.S. embassy to there from Tel Aviv. We sat on our couch watching, our hearts pounding and our fists clenching, wondering whether it was ignorance, lunacy or plain hubris that drove him to make this announcement.
How can one man decide to take our historical capital away and give it to another country? How can he do that without acknowledging the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who live in Jerusalem? Who live in the city of their birth without access to services, without basic human rights, who live unacknowledged? What happens to them?
Amnesty International In Ireland Will Fight Order To Return George Soros’s £137,000 Donation For Pro-Abortion Activism
By Mike Buchanan: A piece in The Irish Times. George Soros is, of course, infamous for funding ‘progressive’ causes and organizations. Breitbart too has published a piece on the Amnesty International in Ireland story. It ends: Soros’s organisations have been working across the world to undermine nations’ cultures, autonomy, and laws, with Hungary most notably hitting back by pushing for legislation on greater transparency of foreign-funded NGOs and universities – both directly affecting Soros interests.
In response, the European Union has threatened Hungary with probes and legal action. Leaked documents reveal that at least 226 Members of European Parliament are considered “reliable allies” of Soros.
In late 2015, while we were searching for a venue to host ICMI16, we approached an Amnesty International venue in London which, on the face of it, could have been perfect. The venue staff refused to even have a phone conversation on the matter, denying us the opportunity to host a conference at the venue on the basis J4MB is an anti-feminist organization, and Amnesty a pro-feminist one. Amnesty were making it clear it didn’t give a damn about the human rights of men as a class.
Kremlin Treats Trump's Tweets As Official Announcements
As well as material to be referred to the KGB's psychiatric evaluation team.
By RIA Novosti: The Kremlin considers the messages on Twitter by US President Donald Trump as official statements, it was reported by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin on Tuesday via the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov."I do not consider myself in a position to comment on the actions of the President of the United States of America. But in any case, everything that comes out of his authorized Twitter account is perceived in Moscow as his official statement, in no other way, and, of course, is reported to President Putin along with other information about the constant statements of politicians and heads of state," Peskov said.
