Americans have been trained for decades to lock down
And what would you know, Americans gladly complied due to the common cold
“School is like starting life with a 12-year jail sentence in which bad habits are the only curriculum truly learned. I teach school and win awards doing it. I should know.”—John Taylor Gatto
When America locked down in 2020, did you ever wonder how Americans would so easily comply with unconstitutional, authoritarian and just downright stupid orders? Seriously, how did a term associated with what prisons do to prisoners, lockdown, be accepted as legitimate for our government to do to us?
I’ve often referred to the slave mindset of the American people. Prisoners in the prison camp that is America could be interchangeable with slaves in Slavelandia. We were placed under house arrest, and our government was the warden telling us what we can do. And we, who like to claim this to be the land of the free and the home of the brave, complied.
But how this happened becomes clearer when we understand what the goal of the government school system has always been. It has always been to create compliant, obedient servants to the government and corporate masters.
Gatto, quoted above, was a government school teacher. He wrote that in 1991, the same year he won the New York State Teacher of the Year award. It was also the same year he quit teaching. He was done serving the system he knew to be corrupt and evil. Gatto wrote:
“The truth is that schools don’t really teach anything except how to obey orders…. Schools are intended to produce through the application of formulae, formulaic human beings whose behavior can be predicted and controlled.”
We are viewed as essentially soulless automatons to be used by the central planners for their gains. We are trained every day to just follow orders, just follow the crowds. It’s done in so many ways, but the government schools are at the forefront of destroying individuality in favor of the “greater good.”
If you look at the history of the designers of the school system, they publicly admit the goal has always been to create compliance, not to educate or promote critical thinking. John D. Rockefeller, who was a major funder of the National Education Association (NEA), said in 1903: “I don’t want a nation of thinkers. I want a nation of workers.” At the 1934 NEA annual meeting, Willard Givens said that free markets “must be completely destroyed and all of us, including the ‘owners,’ must be subjected to a large degree of social control,” and “the major function of the school is the social orientation of the individual.”
When it comes to lockdown, the central planners have been training generations of kids, many now adults in the workforce, to obey. Today, over 95% of government schools conduct lockdown drills. It became widespread over two decades ago after the Columbine shooting.
Of course, the central planners do this in the name of “safety and security.” They ignore the godless worldview taught to children daily as being the problem. The so-called “left” blames the guns, and the so-called “right” blames not having enough cops in the schools. Both ignore the warnings of Benjamin Franklin that giving up liberty for safety results in you having neither.
And this is all based on a lie. The central planners don’t care about our safety. They don’t care about our liberty. They only care about their power and control. And if you believe them when they say they “care about you,” then you deserve to be their slave, to be their prisoner. H.L. Menken once said:
“People do not expect to find chastity in a whorehouse. Why, then, do they expect to find honesty and humanity in government, a congeries of institutions whose modus operandi consists of lying, cheating, stealing, and if need be, murdering those who resist?”
When it comes to the COVID lie, those wishing to actually see the evidence will see this has been planned for decades. The origins certainly weren’t natural. And the planners know that they have a government school system preparing generations for lockdown. They knew they could get away with it. And they continue to get away with it. And lockdown has never stopped. We are in permanent lockdown as long as the compliant, obedient slaves allow it.
Police State and the School Fear Tactics
“It’s getting harder by the day to tell young people that we live in a nation that values freedom and which is governed by the rule of law without feeling like a teller of tall tales. Yet as I point out in my book A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, unless something changes and soon for the young people growing up, there will be nothing left of freedom as we have known it but a fairy tale without a happy ending.”—John Whitehead
Lockdowns and lockdown drills are commonplace in America’s government schools. It is ultimately a show of force, a theater for the young minds to digest. After a child witnesses one of these events, they’ll know better than to ever cross their masters.
Matt Agorist has detailed a few of these lockdown drills for The Free Thought Project. Just earlier this month, the Forest Hill Police Department in Texas conducted a drill when an officer was shot in the face by another officer. Officers went through several checks to make sure there was no live ammunition, but somehow it still happened. But, of course, the police department never suspected foul play.
In 2017, Agorist wrote:
“In America’s modern-day police state, it seems the state knows no bounds as to how far it will go to keep children and adults in a perpetual state of fear. A recent lawsuit out of Hawaii illustrates the extent of the American fear culture and how its insanity is tormenting and traumatizing America’s youth.”
“For more than 10 minutes, middle school children were held hostage by a raging lunatic in a mask, swinging a hammer while threatening to kill them all. Naturally, officials claim this drill, involving a school official wearing a mask and holding a hammer while threatening to kill children, was done for the ‘safety of those children.’ Well, Michelle and Eddie Chavez aren’t buying that excuse.”
“According to a report from Courthouse News, the couple has since filed a federal lawsuit over this incident.”
This was an annual drill that became public in 2015. The school district ran this drill without notifying parents or students. And even when it became public, the schools defended it. Never mind the parents saying their kids are having “sleepless nights” or “crying” because “they thought they were going to die.” It’s for their own good, so says the “officials.”
In 2014, an unannounced active shooter drill took place in Winter Haven, Florida where cops burst through the schools with their guns drawn on students. Agorist wrote about the drill, and the quote from Police Chief Charlie Bird who defended it: “These types of drills are vital in order to evaluate not only law enforcement response, but more importantly to educate the students and school officials in case an actual event were to occur.”
Fear is important for the government, which views itself as a god, to instill in young minds. It’s the same fear the slavish Americans had allowing them to bend over and take lockdown.
Whitehead has written extensively on the police state schools for The Rutherford Institute. Instead of the three R’s (reading, writing, arithmetic), students are taught the three I’s (indoctrination, intimidation, intolerance), says Whitehead who wrote:
“This is what it means to go back-to-school in America today.”
“Instead of making the schools safer, government officials are making them more authoritarian.”
“Instead of raising up a generation of civic-minded citizens with critical thinking skills, government officials are churning out compliant drones who know little to nothing about their history or their freedoms.”
“And instead of being taught the three R’s of education (reading, writing and arithmetic), young people are being drilled in the three I’s of life in the American police state: indoctrination, intimidation and intolerance.”
“From the moment a child enters one of the nation’s 98,000 public schools to the moment he or she graduates, they will be exposed to a steady diet of:
draconian zero tolerance policies that criminalize childish behavior,
overreaching anti-bullying statutes that criminalize speech,
school resource officers (police) tasked with disciplining and/or arresting so-called ‘disorderly’ students,
standardized testing that emphasizes rote answers over critical thinking,
politically correct mindsets that teach young people to censor themselves and those around them,
and extensive biometric and surveillance systems that, coupled with the rest, acclimate young people to a world in which they have no freedom of thought, speech or movement.”
“Roped into the government’s profit-driven campaign to keep the nation ‘safe’ from drugs, disease, and weapons, the schools have transformed themselves into quasi-prisons, complete with surveillance cameras, metal detectors, police patrols, zero tolerance policies, lock downs, drug sniffing dogs, strip searches and active shooter drills.”
“Young people in America are now first in line to be searched, surveilled, spied on, threatened, tied up, locked down, treated like criminals for non-criminal behavior, tasered and in some cases shot.”
Whitehead details case after case of students being suspended, expelled and punished for making a toy gun out of Legos, having breath mints that looked like drugs, schools going into lockdown over a student seeing a stranger (who turned out to be a parent) in school, girls being suspended for shaving their head in solidarity with a friend who had cancer. Seriously, read the list. It’s insane.
Schools are littered with surveillance cameras, metal detectors, the constant presence of police who children are trained to believe are the only people who should have guns. Whitehead detailed the statistics that one out of three students will be arrested before they graduate from the government school system, over 3 million students are suspended or expelled annually usually for minor behavior infractions, 1,500 kids are tied up or locked down daily and 500 students daily are locked in solitary confinement. And it’s normal to not tell the parents.
And the solutions always sought are bigger government. As stated earlier, the “left” wants guns taken away. But the Republicans, the ones who lie about their love for the Constitution, push unconstitutional bigger government in the form of more police.
Whitehead wrote in 2018 about the Trump regime’s plans to double down on zero tolerance policies in schools and stealing more from taxpayers to fund more cops in schools. Of course, law enforcement is a function of local government and there’s no authority for the federal government to fund it. The same goes for schools. The federal government has no authority to do any of this. But who cares about Constitutional authority?
“Microcosms of the police state, America’s public schools already contain almost every aspect of the militarized, intolerant, senseless, over criminalized, legalistic, surveillance-riddled, totalitarian landscape that plagues those of us on the ‘outside.’…”
“Funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, these school resource officers have become de facto wardens in elementary, middle and high schools, doling out their own brand of justice to the so-called ‘criminals’ in their midst with the help of tasers, pepper spray, batons and brute force….”
“If you want young people who grow up seeing themselves as prisoners, run the schools like prisons.”
“If, on the other hand, you want to raise up a generation of freedom fighters, who will actually operate with justice, fairness, accountability and equality towards each other and their government, then run the schools like freedom forums.”
“Remove the metal detectors and surveillance cameras, re-assign the cops elsewhere, and start treating our nation’s young people like citizens of a republic and not inmates in a police state.”
Lockdown Forever
Something that disturbs me is that people actually think lockdown is over. It’s not. It was never lifted. Sure, we don’t see people wearing masks as much and parents are willing putting their kids back into the prison camps called schools. But the “emergency” unconstitutional declared by the Trump regime has remained in place under the Biden regime. And unless the people actually wake up, it will continue forever.
“The rulers of the United States have decided that the Covid public health emergency will remain in place past January 11th, 2023. The federal government did not notify states or healthcare providers on Friday of any intent to lift the declaration.”
“Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra has promised to give stakeholders 60 days’ notice before lifting the emergency declaration so they can prepare for a return to normal operations. In October, HHS extended the public health emergency until January 11th. This declaration is part of what ‘allowed’ the masters to commit human rights violations of all kinds against the slaves in the U.S.”
As Slavo notes, the puppet media continues the narrative and warning of another surge this winter. We might not look as extreme as China. It doesn’t matter if we see the masks or not or if the prison schools are open or closed. The prison cells have been built. We are in permanent lockdown.
And now that the social engineers know that the people were fine with being called “nonessential” over the common cold, lockdowns over the climate lie are on the horizon. Agorist wrote:
“According to her bio on her website, Mariana Francesca Mazzucato is an economist with dual Italian–US citizenship. She is a professor at University College London in Economics of Innovation and Public Value and she is the founder and director of their Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose. However, according to her recent essay, she’s also a tyrannical advocate of economic lockdowns. Unlike the crippling coronavirus lockdowns that sent overdoses into record breaking territory and childhood suicides through the roof, these lockdowns are for climate change. Unfortunately, she is not alone in her views either.”
“In her essay, which was endorsed by many in the establishment media, Mazzucato pushes for draconian measures to curb what she refers to as a tipping point on climate change. If we don’t take ‘dramatic interventions’ immediately, human civilization as we know it will come to an end and so will the planet, according to Mazzucato. These interventions are not child's play either. According to Mazzucato’s paper, which was reprinted in mainstream media outlets across the planet:
“Under a ‘climate lockdown,’ governments would limit private-vehicle use, ban consumption of red meat, and impose extreme energy-saving measures, while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling. To avoid such a scenario, we must overhaul our economic structures and do capitalism differently.”
“Given what we know about the covid lockdowns, the effects of such a system would likely have devastating consequences for every country and send shockwaves throughout every socioeconomic arena. So why on Earth would politicians and media be chomping at the bit to get on board?”
“Earlier this month, President Joe Biden used the recent hurricanes as ‘proof’ we’re in a ‘climate crisis’ and issued a ‘code red’ for the world. He was backed up by House climate adviser Gina McCarthy, who added that the climate crisis is now a ‘health emergency.’”
All Planned, On Purpose
As I detailed, the government schools were set up to train compliant, obedient servants to the state. They’ve been creating sheep for over a century.
It’s not just the schools. We’re trained every day when we consume the puppet media. We’re trained by accepting scam after scam. Now, we’ve got the Ukraine scam.
The COVID scam was a big one. I’ve seen the dependency in America for a long time, but I was still shocked watching the insanity unfold. I shouldn’t have been. It’s all steps towards the central planners’ goal of one world government.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò spoke to the Medical Doctors for Covid Ethics International recently, and his speech was published by Life Site News:
“Just in the past few days, at the G-20 Bali summit, Klaus Schwab instructed heads of government – almost all coming from the Young Global Leaders for Tomorrow program of the World Economic Forum – about the future steps to be taken in view of establishing a world government. The president of a very powerful private organization with enormous economic means exercises undue power over world governments, obtaining their obedience from political leaders who have no popular mandate to subject their nations to the delusions of power of the elite: this fact is of unprecedented gravity. Klaus Schwab said: ‘In the fourth industrial revolution the winners will take it all, so if you are a World Economic Forum first mover, you are the winners’ (here). These very serious statements have two implications: the first is that ‘the winners will take it all’ and will be ‘winners’ – it is not clear in what capacity and with whose permission. The second is that those who do not adapt to this “fourth industrial revolution” will find themselves ousted and will lose – they will lose everything, including their freedom. In short, Klaus Schwab is threatening the heads of government of the twenty most industrialized nations in the world to carry out the programmatic points of the Great Reset in their nations. This goes far beyond the pandemic: it is a global coup d’état, against which it is essential that people rise up and that the still healthy organs of states start an international juridical process. The threat is imminent and serious, since the World Economic Forum is capable of carrying out its subversive project and those who govern nations have all become either enslaved or blackmailed by this international mafia.”
“In light of these statements – and those of others no less delusional than Yuval Noah Harari, Schwab’s adviser – we understand how the pandemic farce served as a trial balloon for imposing controls, coercive measures, curtailing individual freedoms, and increasing unemployment and poverty. The next steps will have to be carried out by means of economic and energy crises, which are instrumental to the establishment of a synarchic government in the hands of the globalist elite.”
“And here, dear friends, allow me to speak as a bishop. Because in this series of events that we are witnessing and will continue to witness, your commitment could risk being thwarted or limited by the fact of not being able to see its essentially spiritual nature. I know that two centuries of Enlightenment thought, revolutions, atheistic materialism and anticlerical liberalism have accustomed us to thinking of Faith as a personal matter, or that there is not an objective Truth to which we all must conform. But this is the fruit of a propaedeutic indoctrination, one that happened long before what is happening today, and it would be foolish to believe that the anti-Christian ideology that drove the secret sects and Masonic groups of the eighteenth century had nothing to do with the anti-Christian ideology that today drives people like Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and Bill Gates. The driving principles are the same: rebellion against God, hatred for the Church and humanity, and destructive fury aimed against Creation and especially against man because he is created in the image and likeness of God.”
“If you start from this evidence, you will understand that it is not possible to pretend that what is happening before our eyes is solely the result of profit-seeking or the desire for power. Certainly, the economic part cannot be disregarded, considering how many people have collaborated with the World Economic Forum. And yet, beyond profit, there are unstated purposes that stem from a ‘theological’ vision – one that is turned upside-down, it’s true, but still theological – a vision that sees two opposing sides: the side of Christ and the side of the Antichrist.”
Whitehead warned about what was coming in 2019. We’ve been on this road to one world government for a long time. He wrote:
“In the future imagined by the Pentagon, any walls and prisons that are built will be used to protect the societal elite—the haves—from the have-nots.”
“If you haven’t figured it out already, we the people are the have-nots.”
“Suddenly it all begins to make sense.”
“The events of recent years: the invasive surveillance, the extremism reports, the civil unrest, the protests, the shootings, the bombings, the military exercises and active shooter drills, the color-coded alerts and threat assessments, the fusion centers, the transformation of local police into extensions of the military, the distribution of military equipment and weapons to local police forces, the government databases containing the names of dissidents and potential troublemakers.”
“The government is systematically locking down the nation and shifting us into martial law.”
“This is how you prepare a populace to accept a police state willingly, even gratefully.”
“You don’t scare them by making dramatic changes. Rather, you acclimate them slowly to their prison walls.”
“Persuade the citizenry that their prison walls are merely intended to keep them safe and danger out. Desensitize them to violence, acclimate them to a military presence in their communities, and persuade them that there is nothing they can do to alter the seemingly hopeless trajectory of the nation.”
“Before long, no one will even notice the floundering economy, the blowback arising from military occupations abroad, the police shootings, the nation’s deteriorating infrastructure and all of the other mounting concerns.”
“It’s happening already.”
“The sight of police clad in body armor and gas masks, wielding semiautomatic rifles and escorting an armored vehicle through a crowded street, a scene likened to ‘a military patrol through a hostile city,” no longer causes alarm among the general populace.”
“Few seem to care about the government’s endless wars abroad that leave communities shattered, families devastated and our national security at greater risk of blowback.”
“The Deep State’s tactics are working.”
“We’ve allowed ourselves to be acclimated to the occasional lockdown of government buildings, Jade Helm military drills in small towns so that special operations forces can get ‘realistic military training’ in ‘hostile’ territory, and Live Active Shooter Drill training exercises, carried out at schools, in shopping malls, and on public transit, which can and do fool law enforcement officials, students, teachers and bystanders into thinking it’s a real crisis.”
“You want to change things? Start by rejecting the political labels and the polarizing rhetoric and the ‘us vs. them’ tactics that reduce the mass power of the populace to puny, powerless factions.”
“Find common ground with your fellow citizens and push back against the government’s brutality, inhumanity, greed, corruption and power grabs.”
“Be dangerous in the best way possible: by thinking for yourself, by refusing to be silenced, by choosing sensible solutions over political expediency and bureaucracy.”
“When all is said and done, the solution to what ails this country is really not that complicated: decency, compassion, common sense, generosity balanced by fiscal responsibility, fairness, a commitment to freedom principles, and a firm rejection of the craven, partisan politics of the Beltway elites who have laid the groundwork for the government’s authoritarian coup d’etat.”
“Let the revolution begin.”
The central planners know how to take peoples' eyes off the real issues. When it comes to schools, many parents have justifiable grievances with the curriculum or sexually explicit books available to minors.
However, those are just symptoms of the problem. The real problem is the system. The real problem is parents being dependent on the state to educate their children when that has always been the responsibility of the parents. So, you might take care of this symptom or that symptom, but hundreds more will pop up in its place. Nobody should be surprised by the depravity that is the government schools. They are deliberately dumbing down America. They’ve been systematically training prisoners.
The only way to change course is for individuals to start thinking for themselves and taking responsibility.
“Most of you think you have been given a break, and that things are ‘going back to normal’ when in fact, the primary agenda of world control is advancing faster and faster every day, while you are completely blind to this reality, because you are focused on every single sub-plot and every bit of daily minutia being fed to you by the state and its media. Many or most of you are lost in the fog of ignorance, while your lives are being destroyed with your blessing.”
“The ruling ‘elites,’ the ‘intelligence’ agencies, the military industrial complex, the corporate monsters, the government, and the technological industry scum, will swallow all on earth. This threat of annihilation is real, it is happening, and only you can stop it. Each of us as individuals has to take part in dismantling this evil that has consumed this country and the world. If we do not do so, hell on earth will be the result, and the fate of your children and grandchildren will be in the hands of these human traffickers and controlling devils bent on world domination.”
