Maybe Jewish Americans will stop supporting liberal causes?

Their fellow travelers appear to have turned on them. Ironic.

I do not know the exact time where he discussed this—he talks about his on line education venture in a few places.

(There is a lot of background you need to know before this podcast can make any sense at all outside of this topic—but he claimed to see high tech mass education—no teachers—in use as part of the Secret Space program and he wants to replicate the technology. He is convinced the US and the Western world are hopelessly bureaucratic but that places like Africa could benefit the most from dirt cheap widely accessible education modules.)

All that is going on in America now is just what has been done by global Communists in the early 1900s, just updating the tactic’s for our current society.

If you don’t understand that Freedom is their Target and Communism is their Objective then you don’t have the brains you were born with.

VDH is a true voice in the wilderness.

It is the “new” Trans-freako white-hating Pentagon that is allegedly driving the educational content.

This is not your father’s Pentagon.

The question is where do the standardized tests come from—exactly—who creates them and what criteria do they use to create them.

Excellent post. I’m almost 73 and I saw it, too.

They certainly can’t be challenged by logic. Group think binds most of them together. Logic, the ability to think critically, and discernment, among other things, are foreign to them.

The only thing that might sway them a little bit is when they are negatively affected on a personal level.

I, too am almost 73. You could see this all coming from a long way off. Kinetics and bloodshed at our doorsteps now.

I did not mean to judge death camp victims who were helpless and might have been promised their children would be saved. But 1-2% might be a low estimate among the number of living population of camps at certain times, but accurate WRT historical totals. Nazi rulers thought of some as more useful than others.

VDH was probably on it long before you were.

At one time I’d have trusted the ASVAB over the SAT. Any more, I’m not so sure.

I hear you.

The bottom line is that all of our major, traditional institutions have been corrupted by leftism, who are now taking the next steps to further control and deconstruction - including propaganda put out as truth, and censorship. VDH’s chilling prediction may be right ... the groundwork has been constructed.

“In the Nazi era, a significant number of Jews collaborated with the government. If white women have different reasons for helping the Biden regime (absolute and unlimited “abortion rights”), they are nonetheless helping an evil regime.”

According to Richard Overy’s “The Coming of the Third Reich”, it was middle class women that brought the Nazis into the bigtime in the 1930 election.

When I see those numbers of unborn deaths, I always wonder what if Michaelangelo’s mother had an abortion, or Mrs. Pasteur, or Mrs. Curie, etc. ?? I wonder too, have we already killed the person who was going to cure cancer or some other dred disease??

Soviet operatives targeted three influential American institutions: education, news media, and entertainment ***** I can remember the phrase “if it feels good, do it” Those three institutions have been pounding us with “feelings” over morality and logic for a few generations now, and it’s bearing bitter fruit for our society.

And this is what we get for our tolerance. Remember hearing, “i don’t agree with what you say, but I’ll die for your right to say it.” (about 1968)
Yeah, well here we are.

If thats the case, we will have the dumbest, most woke military on the planet. Looks like Obammy’s plan to disarm and go back to 1930s era ill-preparedness.
