Well after "the military police went on police," there was no telling what might happen!

That is why Socrates stated over 2400 years ago that the only purpose of education is to create virtue in children. Without virtue in people, there is no freedom.

Now, our Marxist indoctrination factories have been literally destroying virtue formation in children, ON PURPOSE, to create, dumb, ignorant useful idiots. The sodomites in Hollywood have been helping to destroy all moral formation and create narcissistic, ignorant, puerile adults (satanists).

If the masses are ignorant-—blame it on the schools because they knew before 1920 how to instill virtue with Classical Christian eduction. But the Marxists knew to destroy Christian ethics and literally ban the culture, traditions and history and erase the philosophy and theology from the minds of children, they will collapse civil society. We have 3 generations of completely brainwashed, ignorant people who believe lies and Slavery is Freedom and Boys are Girls they are so removed from Reality and reason.

They destroyed schools in S. America and Mexico by 1920.

Years of Marxist rule in Brazil have led to this.

I like the way Terence McKenna viewed it—are we apes or angels?......

Schools have been closed and even football matches cancelled in the affected areas due to the lack of security, which has meant many people are refusing to even venture outdoors.

Oh, it's serious now!
