Yes, school and university education is under serious assault.

Interesting read. Based on what they are teaching the kids in California high schools I think there's something to this. They really are destroying deduction in a pretty clear effort to create mindless, violent activists. It's really something to hear...

Well, let's don't paint everyone with the same brush!

That could be sweet revenge. Snitch on the snitchers.

The best defense against a Stasi is to flood it with anonymous complaints against loyal supporters of the regime. Although I foresee a technological "arms race" between the anons and the spy agencies.

He lost me far earlier than that... I learned long ago to NEVER trust CIA people. Ever!

I like the way you put that, evlwhtguy!

We are already part of the way there with modern US Corporate Human resources departments. They tend to be the bag men for every whiney little bastard that wants to lay the shiv to anyone that they think is dong better than they are.

Power corrupts.
Only brave People can stop it.

Yes. George #1 wanted a 'One World Government.' He wanted to be President of the world. He lost me at that time.

Firstly, it does seem that History is being stage-managed on a daily basis in an organized manner to control the narrative of past, present, and future of the entire globe.

Secondly, I believe a case can be made to trace the origins of an American Stasi to the first decade of the twentieth century. Progressive President T. Roosevelt was quoted as saying in 1903 “I have always believed that the national government should have complete power as to the organization and capitalization of all concerns involved in interstate commerce.”

His Attorney General, Charles Bonaparte (yes, a descendant of the other Bonaparte), began in 1908 to hire special agents to investigate perceived crimes of politicians, capitalists, criminals, and anarchists. These agents were organized into a department that morphed into the FBI.

Since men who are handed unlimited power tend to become dictators, it should come as no surprise that the heads of the FBI and CIA began to investigate and spy on ordinary citizens early into the twenty-first century (Re: Edward Snowden) and actively worked to destroy the presidency of Donald Trump.
