The Mystery of Iniquity
Adolph Hitler used the state education system to turn what had been the most sophisticated and cultured nation in Europe into the most bloodthirsty military regime in modern history in a single generation.
After the first World War, he captured the hearts and minds of parents. Once they elected him Chancellor in 1933, he used the state's educational system to steal the minds of their children.
Nazi-educated schoolchildren were taught Hitler was a god. Each school-day began with a state-mandated prayer to der Fuehrer. Family loyalty became secondary to loyalty to the Fuehrer. Children routinely denounced their parents.
As the children got older, their indoctrination was continued in state programs like the Hitler Youth. Each graduation day, another crop of youthful fanatics were absorbed into the state military machine.
Using the educational system, it took Hitler only 20 years to indoctrinate an entire generation so completely it could shovel 12 million people into ovens.
During the heydey of Soviet Communism, Russian citizens were among the best-educated in the world. One of the first social programs the Soviets instituted after the Revolution was free, compulsory education in the state educational system.
Entire generations of Soviet citizens were taught that the Soviet Union's worker's paradise was the envy of the civilized world. It was a point of national pride that every modern technology was a Soviet invention.
Soviet schoolchildren learned the East-West Cold War was due to Western envy of Soviet life and Western efforts to steal Soviet technology.
In 1932, William Foster, the chairman of the US Communist Party published a book, "Toward a Soviet America', that indirectly outlined the Communist strategy as it then-successfully being implemented by the Stalin regime.
In it, Foster called for a U.S. Dept. of Education, the teaching of evolution, elimination of nationalism and religion in schools, the teaching of internationalism, the use of the Pavlovian method (direct instruction) on the students, and so on.
Ultimately, the Soviet Union crumbled from within, not-coincidentally after Western news feeds began broadcasting images of full Western supermarkets and modern Western life on the other side of The Wall.
Once the Soviets lost control of the state propaganda system to technological advances it couldn't contain, the political system's collapse was a foregone conclusion.
But most of Foster's principles were already incorporated into Marxist ideology, repackaged and introduced into the American education system as 'progressive' education.
One can trace the progression of Marxist ideology through the American education system. The REALLY radical Marxist 'revolutionaries' of the Sixties grew up to become university professors in the Eighties.
Marxism became a hot item, and scarcely any academic department in the humanities and social sciences felt it could carry on without one or two Marxists on the faculty.
College protests became a thing of the past, mainly because the protestors were now in charge of the colleges. Liberal educators freely proselytized Marxism, feminism, Greensim, deconstructionism, and other isms, from Islamism to anti-Americanism and beyond.
The Marxist ethics of the 1960's came into its own in the 1990's. Longhaired professors in graying beards delivered their lectures wearing blue jeans and faded old shirts. They became friends with their students, eschewing traditional titles and conducting classes on a first-name basis.
They saw themselves as student mentors rather than teachers, and taught the 'values' of questioning and subverting traditional standards, openly espousing various activist agendas as part of the student's 'education'.
Ivy-League schools like Yale and Harvard turn out dedicated Marxists with each graduating class, many of whom go on to pass on those principles to the next generation of students.
Sadly, the one thing history teaches us about man is that man learns nothing from history.
Assessment:
The media uproar over high-school geography teacher Jay Bennish's classroom comments has begun to die down, now that Bennish has been returned to the classroom.
For those having just awakened from a coma, a quick recap: Jay Bennish is a product of the evolved educational system of the 1990's.
According to one of the parents, on the first day, Bennish announced to the class that Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto" was going to be a part of the GEOGRAPHY curriculum.
According to a recording made by one of his students of Bennish's assessment of Bush's State of the Union speech, Bennish told his 10th grade class;
"Sounds a lot like the things Adolf Hitler used to say." "Bush is threatening the whole planet." "[The] U.S. wants to keep the world divided."
Then he asks his class, "Who is probably the most violent nation on the planet?" before preempting guesswork by shouting out his own answer: "The United States!"
True to his promise to include Marxism as part of the curriculum, Bennish gave the students the "definition" of capitalism -- telling them that"capitalism is at odds with humanity, at odds with caring and compassion and at odds with human rights."
The 10th graders were taught by their teacher that; "the U.S. has engaged in "7,000 terrorist attacks against Cuba," together with equally anti-American propaganda -- as part of the unsuspecting student's compulsory, state-sponsored education.
Bennish became an instant media darling. He was all over CNN. Criticism soon gave way to deep, thoughtful analysis of academic free speech, the threat of McCarthyism and the right of the students to hear 'both sides'.
Finally, the media agreed that 'both sides' is Bennish's side and ummm, well, everybody knows the 'other' side, so why waste the student's time?
The Aurora, Colorado Overland High School District did too, and Bennish returned to his job of shaping the next generation of Marxists, severely punishing Bennish with the public criticism that Bennish's "practice and deportment need growth and refinement."
Paul described the social conditions in which the antichrist will find an eager electorate when his time arrives;
"For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:" (2nd Timothy 3:2-5)
Unlike the brainwashed Nazi and Soviet generations who had Hitler and Stalin to follow, the latest generations of state-educated Marxists have no single ideological leader around which to galvanize.
Just traditional principles to oppose and socialist experiments to offer in exchange. They oppose traditional principles like patriotism, the traditional family, religious faith, traditional culture and social standards, religious-based morals, home schooling, etc.
They favor gay rights, abortion rights, freedom from religion, globalism, educational indoctrination in secular humanist theology like evolution and liberalism, arguing any social breakdown is the fault of the religious right attempting to force its values on an unwilling society.
All they really need is an ideological leader around which to stage their 'revolution'. Right now, we are at Stage One. The 'mystery of iniquity is already at work,' indoctrinating unsuspecting children under the guise of compulsory 'education'.
The rest of the world is already in its post-Christian era, and liberal America is anxious to follow its lead.
Once the Rapture eliminates the opposition in Red State 'JesusLand', there will be nothing to stand in the way.
"For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only He who now letteth will let, until He be taken out of the way. And THEN SHALL THAT Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming." (2nd Thessalonians 2:7-8)
