Our Present Educational Crisis, Part One, Common Core




In the above video, a mother from Arkansas destroys common core education in front of her local
officials.  Watch the video.  It's pretty shocking, especially if you do not really know what common core is about.  It's not about education folks.  It's about the full fledged dumbing down of our youth.  It makes no sense whatsoever.  And the school boards all across this country are all screaming for more money.

  Here is the bottom line on what is really going on.  For the past 100 years education has been on a very steady downhill curve.  It's by design.  Can you think of a better plan to pull more money from people than to tell them you need more money to fix issues with education?  This ploy has been used on us for the same amount of time.  The state of education is falling, we need more money to fix it.  It never gets fixed.  It continues to get worse.  We need more money to fix this.  For a century we have been throwing money at a system that just keeps getting worse.  Blame the parents.

  Over the next few months we are going to cover many areas on the present state of education in this country and in Gloucester.  That is if you want to call it education.  It's going to offend a number of people, especially those employed in the field.  But hey don't worry about that, we are working on a new sensitivity program for you so that you will no longer be offended, instead you will back everything we say.  On some early advice, we recommend a mass exiting of all students from the public school system as fast as possible.  You will fully understand why when we are done with this series.

Governor McAuliffe Announces Technology Award Winners

~ Improvements in service delivery, efficiency by state and local governments, universities cited ~

RICHMOND - The annual Governor’s Technology Awards were presented to honorees in nine categories at a special ceremony at the Commonwealth of Virginia Innovative Technology Symposium (COVITS) in Richmond on Sept. 9. On behalf of Governor Terry McAuliffe, Secretary of Technology Karen Jackson presented the awards to a distinguished group of Virginia government entrants, including state and local government and universities. 

“I want to congratulate the winners of these awards,” said Governor McAuliffe. “Building a new Virginia economy requires the ability to innovate and find ways to increase efficiency in government. The future is bright for the Commonwealth as these talented groups continue to use technology to make government more efficient, less expensive and more responsive to taxpayers.”

Governor McAuliffe Declares September as Preparedness Month in Virginia

RICHMOND – Governor Terry McAuliffe has proclaimed September as National Preparedness Month in Virginia and he encourages business owners, families and communities to be ready for emergencies. 

“September has historically been the most active time of the year for hurricanes in Virginia,” Governor McAuliffe said. “Whether it’s a natural disaster like a hurricane or a human-caused emergency like terrorism, individuals, families and businesses that take the time to prepare are more resilient in the long run than those who failed to plan.”

Everyone can prepare for all emergencies, including hurricanes, by taking these steps:

  • Sign up for text alerts/weather warnings that may be offered by your locality. 
  • Have basic supplies on hand to last at least three days for each family member.
    • Food that won’t spoil, such as canned and packaged foods
    • Water, one gallon per person per day
    • A working battery-operated radio and extra batteries
    • Flashlights with extra batteries
    • First aid kit
    • A written list of your prescriptions and prescribing doctor(s) and at least a week’s supply of medications
    • Food and water for your pets
  • Create a family emergency communications plan. 
    • Decide how and where everyone will meet up with each other if separated
    • Choose an out-of-town emergency contact for your family and give that person’s phone number to each family member
    • Make a sheet of emergency contacts and post it in visible places in your home and workplace.  Don’t rely on your smart phone or online contact lists.
    • Get a free emergency plan worksheet and emergency contact cards atwww.ReadyVirginia.gov or www.ListoVirginia.gov or use the new Ready Virginia app.

People with disabilities or access and functional needs may need to take additional steps. Plan how to handle power outages and/or being asked to evacuate. For more information, visit www.vaemergency.gov/readyvirginia/getakit/disabilities.

The third National Day of Action on Sept. 30, known as America’s PrepareAthon! Day, is a nationwide, community-based campaign for action to increase emergency preparedness and resilience through hazard-specific drills, group discussions and exercises. To sign up for America’s PrepareAthon! go to www.ready.gov/prepareand register how you will take action to prepare in September.


(Just a quick question:  How does a governor of a state declare a National Preparedness Month?  Just asking.)

New York to Legalize Medicial Marijuana

New York is set to legalize medicinal marijuana as Governor Andrew Cuomo has reached a deal with lawmakers on the Compassionate Care Act. The bill's regulations are more conservative than the lax rules of other states who have legalized cannabis for medical purposes. Specifically, it only allows people to vaporize the drug, or to consume it in food while restricting them from smoking it. Additionally, only certain diseases will qualify for prescriptions. We take a look at the bill and why many supporters are calling this a historic victory, in this Lip News clip with Gabriel Mizrahi.

Gerald Celente - Trends In The News - "Progress For Power"

English: Andrew Cuomo, 11th United States Secr...
English: Andrew Cuomo, . (Photo credit: Wikipedia)



"The "new" primary mission of the FBI, senate talks take a "spiritual turn" behind closed doors.. & Gov. Andrew Cuomo to loosen New York's marijuana laws."

According to the above news, the FBI's new role is national security.  The coming legalization of marijuana in New York is well under way.  Now the potholes in New York will take on a new meaning to be doughnut holes filled with pot instead of street obstacles.  Not to worry, sit back, smoke a doobie and wait until your state passes legalization.  It's coming.  This way you won't be upset about all the other garbage going on in politics.

  You can claim separation of church and state all you want.  What we see is prophecy being fulfilled which ties church and state very much together no matter how much they claim said separation.  These folks are fulfilling the coming.  

"Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the LORD God had made".  Genesis  3:1

"The Nephilim were on the earth in those days - and also afterward - when the sons of God went in to the daughters of humans, who bore children to them. These were the heroes that were of old, warriors of renown".  Genesis 6:4

"Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence".  Genesis 6:11

"For my part, I am going to bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die".  Genesis 6:17

The second coming for Christians shows that times will be similar in the second coming as was before the first flood.  That means once again the seed of man is becoming more and more corrupt by fallen angles.  UFO's are not what you think they are but through popular media, you are being conditioned to the coming of fallen angles so that they may once again, mix freely with the masses corrupting the seed of man.  This is the fulfillment of prophecy for his second coming.  So one may view daily news as either bad or good.  

  For those who follow the secret teachings of the many secret societies the prophecy of the rise of the new Atlantis is being fulfilled.  The new world order is part of the structure of the new Atlantis and the United States is the seat of power in that rising.  Hidden history shows that the original Atlantis was the seat of power back in the times before the flood.  Denial and suppression of history to the masses was for the better of man in the view of those who control the information.  The secrets of secret societies however are not at all secret.  Anyone can find them if they are willing to do the research.  

  They are both one and the same when you boil it all down.  It is the rise of the dark lord if you will before the second coming, or in the case for the jewish community, the first coming.  Either way, we are all in for a very interesting ride.
