Dear Bobby,
As I come to the end of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s bestselling book titled: The Real Anthony Fauci, I could not help thinking about the question you asked me about the “bottom line” when it comes to the political Left's agenda. While I no longer have any reservations when it comes to their plans for our children and grandchildren, I now know that Mark Levin (another bestselling author) was correct when he gave the first chapter of his latest book: American Marxism, the title: It's Here.
With the aforementioned in mind, I decided to revisit Kennedy's book as a way of finding an answer to your question. Based on more than 2400 sources/citations, it not only represents what Levin has been warning us about for two decades, but I believe it offers a clear and chilling summary of what the “game plan” for the United States and the world we live in really is. In the end, it is not just about a dysfunctional government and a White House in complete disarray but, rather, a godless driven ideology that is much...much deeper than we think. Please note the following four paragraphs from Kennedy's extensive research:
“Beginning shortly after World War II, the military introduced Scenario Planning as a strategic device for their corporate clients in the 1970s and 1980s. Their goal: to coordinate the global dismantlement of democratic governance. By the millennium, simulations had evolved into an indispensable vehicle for military policy makers, intelligence agency planners, public health technocrats, and the petroleum and pharmaceutical multinationals for reinforcing prescribed responses that allow predictable and rigid control of the outcomes of future crises.
After 9/11, the rising biosecurity cartel adopted simulations as signaling mechanisms for choreographing lockstep responses among corporate, political, and military technocrats charged with managing global exigencies. Scenario planning became an indispensable device for multiple power centers to coordinate complex strategies for simultaneously imposing coercive controls upon democratic societies across the globe.
Virtually all of the scenario planning for pandemics employ technical assumptions and strategies familiar to anyone who has read the CIA's notorious psychological warfare manuals for shattering indigenous societies, obliterating traditional economies to crush resistance, to foster chaos, demoralization, dependence and fear, and for imposing centralized and autocratic governance. (p. 405)
And finally, on April 18, 2018, in a speech delivered at the Malaria Summit in London, England, Bill Gates, who by now had been in a partnership with military and intelligence planners to stage regular follow-up simulations, reiterated the purpose of his simulations by saying, 'The world needs to prepare for pandemics in the same serious way it prepares for war' to which Kennedy responded by saying, “Gate's simulations invoke the concept of “total war” meaning the mobilization of entire populations, the sacrifice of global economies, and the obliteration of democratic institutions and civil rights.” (p. 412-417)
Less than two years later, a Chinese lab, following the script of Bill Gate's simulations and covered from top to bottom with Dr. Anthony Fauci's finger prints, gave the world the COVID-19 virus. How is that for a “game plan” that is meant to determine the fate of our children and grandchildren...forever?
Bobby, what is happening in public education today has become apparent by a dramatic change in the narrative. No longer nurtured by Judeo-Christian values or what is best for the well-being of our children and grandchildren, the Scenario Planning mentioned in Kennedy's book has become the vehicle that is being used to change the culture. Beginning with the Obama administration, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association (i.e., Education Minnesota) have taken the reins in this collectivism over individualism and its new method of instruction. If you read Manifesto of the Communist Party by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, you will find the forfeiture of individual identities. In the end, “The teachers will use critical race theory and other Leftist methods to turn our children and grandchildren into Marxist agitators” (The Judicial Watch, January 2022, Volume 28, issue 1).
In looking back on my 77 years of life, I am reminded that I can make the claim that I have lived during the administration of 15 presidents. Eight Democrats and seven Republicans, it was standard procedure to see philosophical changes from one administration to the next. After all, we all assumed that these were people who were not only proud to be Americans, but it was their sworn duty to maintain the stalwartness of the greatest Republic the world has ever known. Sadly, there has been a visible paradigm change. You see, the word “proud” went away under the Obama administration and the word “stalwartness” has been shattered by the Biden administration. Two presidents, two administrations, and a political party hellbent on destroying a country and its way of life using the educational system. And to think that they wanted us to believe that they are Christians.
This brings me to the school district I am willing to fight for: Kenyon-Wanamingo Public Schools. Now that it has been established that there are district wide needs for improvement, we can no longer afford to remain static as our school board tries to decide whether or not they should get involved in writing the school district's much needed strategic plan, the administration continues to raise eyebrows based on substandard evaluations and objectionable behavior, the teaching staff awaits their cues from the socialist influence of the Minnesota Department of Education and Education Minnesota, and our children and grandchildren are caught in a political cross fire that needs our help without delay. Is there any wonder why low student achievement has become the school district's “hallmark” of alarm?
Bobby, you and I spent our careers trying to meet the needs of our students. While I realize that times have changed over the years, at least one “given” remains for educators who are committed to excellence: when they are called on to fight for students...they fight.
And so in closing, permit me to end with an old Latin Proverb that says, “If there is no wind, row.” Sadly, and because it is obvious that the bad guys have a head start on us (socialists never sleep), it is going to take a lot of commitment from KW patrons willing to turn the tide. Just remember, the “bottom line” for old educators like us was always about the students. With this being said, it is time for the Kenyon-Wanamingo School District to consider a new school board, a new emphasis on administrative leadership qualifications and expectations, teachers willing to put the needs of our children and grandchildren as their top priority, and, less we forget, a time to start rowing.
Godspeed friend,
James
