Merkel & Schulz Under Tremendous Pressure in Germany


Armstrong Economics Blog/Germany

Re-Posted Feb 13, 2018 by Martin Armstrong

The politics in Germany remain in turmoil. The CDU leader Angela Merkel is being attacked from within her own party. The dissatisfaction concerning Merkel has engulfed the CDU base. It has reached at times outright seething rejection of Merkel. The future of the Union really hangs in the balance. The CDU party congress takes place on February 26, and that will be when they vote on the coalition agreement.

Meanwhile, the SPD leader Martin Schulz has come under persistent criticism concerning his personal ambitions for the office of Foreign Minister. The view has been he was willing to enter a coalition to get that political position for himself. This is the problem with career politicians and now he has been forced to come out and stating that he would refuse that position in order to save the coalition agreement.

Keep in mind that political turmoil in Germany underpins the Euro.

A Refresher Talk on Political Islam


Hello, I would like to talk to you about Islam, but in particular, I would like to talk to you about political Islam and explain to you why the religion of Islam is of no concern to you, unless you’re a Muslim. But let’s ask a more basic question, is there some way that we can use rational, fact-based reasoning on Islam? Because notice carefully that the current methods are very subjective. How do people learn about Islam? Well, they go to an expert and this expert hopefully is a Muslim and then they tell ’em what Islam is, but notice something, you get the answer about what Islam is, depending on who you ask, if you ask a Jihadist, you get one answer, if you ask a professional engineer at work, you get another answer, so this method is subjective and I want to propose to you, that there is a completely objective way to answer all questions about Islam.

Now then, the most important question to ask about Islam is, what is Islam? No, it is not a religion found in the Quran, well, a little of that’s true, but actually, Islam is a complete way of life, it is a complete civilization, it is a religion, it’s a political system, it’s a culture, it’s a civilization and there’s no act so small as a human being, that Islam doesn’t have something to say about it.

So, what is Islam? Well, let’s begin with what every Muslim knows, there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger, this is called the Shahada and where do we find Allah? Well, we find Allah in the Quran, but there’s something peculiar about the Quran, it does not contain enough information to practice the Five Pillars of Islam. However, there’s a trapdoor built into the Quran and it’s the 91 verses, that say that Muhammad is the perfect pattern of a divine life.

So, where do we find Muhammad? Because if we’re going to imitate Muhammad, we need to know Muhammad. Muhammad is found in The Sira, his biography and in the Hadith, his traditions. So, Islam is the doctrine found in the Quran, the Sira and the Hadith, if it is in the Quran, the Sira and the Hadith, it is Islam, equally important, if something is said to be Islam, but it can’t be found inside the Quran, the Sira, and the Hadith, it is not Islam. So, Islam is Muhammad and the Quran or Muhammad and Allah, so if you’re speaking with the voice of Muhammad or the voice of Allah, then you’re talking about Islam.

Now there’s something sort of peculiar about this, the Quran and the Sira, the Hadith are mostly about the non-Muslim, the kafir, someone like myself and possibly you, the part that deals with the kafir is, I call it, political Islam, why? Because the Quran is defined as being completely outside of the religion, so if you’re not a Muslim and the Quran is concerned with you, it is not because you’re a Muslim, but because you’re just a human being. Now then, ways to talk about religious Islam, you’ll notice that it involves Paradise and Hell, whereas the political Islam is about how to treat the kafir.

What does the Quran say about the kafir? That the kafir is lower than an animal, filthy, cursed, mocked, can be enslaved, tortured and deceived and, yes, even raped. My most unfavorite part of the Quran is the part, 12 verses that say that a Muslim is never the true friend to the kafir.

Now then, if you’re going to talk about Islam, we have to talk about the tricky part, which is the confusion, because everyone’s heard this, everyone’s heard a good thing about Islam and a bad thing about Islam and so the question comes up, what is the real Islam? Well, the clue is this, it’s found in Muhammad’s career, after he became the messenger of Allah, he preached the religion of Islam for 13 years in Mecca and converted about 150 people, then he went on to Medina, where he became a politician and a Jihadist. Now then, Muhammad preached the religion of peace and converted 150 people, but as a Jihadist and a politician, he was a complete triumph, so what is Islam?

Well, it is the religion of peace and the verses of Jihad, so that’s what it is, it is both items, there’s two Qurans, the Meccan Quran, which is very religious and the Medinan Quran, written later, which is all about Jihad and politics, let’s be clear, there is no Jihad in Mecca, but 24% of the Quran written in Medina is about Jihad, Jihad is a systemic doctrine, it’s not about a verse or two, so Islam always has two meanings and this is very convenient, because it gets what it wants.

Now then, let’s talk about Jihad a bit, because it’s confusing, Jihad is not Holy War, Jihad comes in four flavors, Jihad of the Sword, Speech, Writing and Money, now let’s be clear, Jihad is not meaning war, it means struggle. Jihad uses pressure in all areas, food, migration, headscarves, education and the fact that you’re not allowed to criticize Islam, so Jihad is pure political Islam, Jihad is political action, designed to install a new civilization, based on Islamic principles, Sharia principles.

So there is an objective way to talk about Islam, as long as you’re listening to one of two experts, Muhammad or Allah, Islam is both a religion of peace and the politics of Jihad, which one is the real one? They’re both equally real. The religion of Islam is only important to Muslims, but the politics of Islam are important to all peoples, my advice to you is don’t discuss Muslims, but instead, talk about Muhammad and Allah.

We’re involved in a civilizational war, our civilization is based on critical thought and a unitary ethic, the unitary ethic is that all people should be treated as equal, Islam does not have those two principles, it has the authoritative thought, instead of critical thought and it practices dualistic ethics, instead of unitary ethics, the ethical system depends on who you are as to how you’re treated.

We can and must defeat political Islam, the religion of Islam is of no consequences to you, unless you’re a Muslim, this is a war of ideas and civilizations and there can be no compromise, our very existence depends on us asserting our ideas and our ideals. Thank you.

Soros – One of the Greatest Threats Against Society?


Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN

Re-Posted Feb 9, 2018 by Martin Armstrong

It is no secret that I have no respect for George Soros and that is aside from the fact that we would often be on opposite sides of the market. I never saw Soros as a great trader. Even the reputation that he broke the Bank of England was nonsense. The “Club” was all on that trade and it was a guaranteed trade where if the peg broke, you made a fortune and if you were wrong, you got your money back. I was on the opposite side back then being called in by those in the British government. After a 7-year bull market in equities, Soros finally threw in the towel ending his bets on the stock market crash only after being wrong for so long.

Soros lost big time on the Russian manipulation when the “Club” was bribing the IMF to keep the loans to Russia going so they could make a fortune in interest rates. That failed and ended up in Long-Term Capital Management debacle. Soros lost $2 billion on that one. I believe he also lost when the “Club” was targeting the Japanese yen in 1999. So I never saw Soros as some fantastic trader. I believe he was just simply on the right side of a few big plays orchestrated by the “Club” and never by himself.

Macedonia 3-26-2017

I personally find him very dangerous politically. He stands for control of the people and is always plotting for the manipulation of society. He is always on the side of Marxist/Socialism and disturbs me greatly. This is just his political philosophy. There has been a rising movement against Soros on a global scale. This is one person who the world will celebrate his death – not morn it.

The Telegraph is now reporting that Soros “is one of three senior figures linked to the Remain-supporting campaign group Best for Britain who plan to launch a nationwide advertising campaign this month, which they hope will lead to a second referendum to keep Britain in the EU.” Soros is on the wrong side. Europe has no chance of the EU Project actually succeeding long-term. The entire structure is completely unsound and the political process is anti-Democrat. The EU was purposefully designed to be as close to a dictatorship where the people are not trusted to make any decision and are too stupid to even know how to spend their own money. Nobody in the Troika ever stands for an election and they are the people who rule with an iron fist over the economy.

A Jihadi in Hijab


By Tabitha Korol

Linda Sarsour, American-born to Palestinian parents, is unreservedly an anti-Semite and anti-Israeli activist.  Identifying as a feminist and an advocate for human and women’s rights, she attracted 500,000 women to the January 2017 Women’s March on Washington.  She then added immigration reform, healthcare reform, reproductive rights, the natural environment, LGBTQ rights, racial equality, freedom of religion and workers’ rights to the mix of grievances, and proceeded to discredit the newly elected President Trump.

A former employee of the Arab American Association, Asmi Fathelbab, in need of an advocate, brought her 2009 grievance to light on the Daily Caller and Fox News.  She had complained to Sarsour, the AAA’s executive director and her direct supervisor, about a male volunteer who sneaked up from behind and sexually rubbed himself against her, but Sarsour vulgarly dismissed her, saying, “Something like that doesn’t happen to someone who looks like you,” thereby adding insult to injury.  Fathelbab emerged as yet another woman who experienced an unsafe, abusive workplace environment, but Sarsour disclaimed the occurrence, threatening to sabotage Fathelbab’s career in New York for “as long as she lives.”  Sarsour who lost her control and compassion for women when she tweeted her rage in response to the issue of FGM  (Female Genital Mutilation): “Brigitte = Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She’s asking 4 an a$$ whippin’.  I wish I could take their vaginas away – they don’t deserve to be women.”  Is this the behavior and language of one who cares about women?

This devious activist called for jihad when speaking of Donald Trump, claiming that jihad is a “struggle” without violence, although the accepted Islamic definition for jihad is “holy war,” with as much violence as needed.  Her expressions usually contain violence.  Islam is dualistic and the two Korans, the earlier one written in Mecca and the later in Medina, offer a choice of contradictions where both benevolence and malevolence are at work.  The doctrine that applies to kafirs (the non-believer majority) is political in nature and rarely positive or even neutral; by contrast, the doctrine that applies to Muslims, is cultural, legal, and religious.  The system conveniently allows for interpretation to suit the circumstances.  Like a chameleon, Sarsour uses deception to portray Islam as benign and the Palestinians as victimized by Israel, with the goal of luring unenlightened infidels to conversion. When she donned the hijab and declared her skin no longer white,  she exposed her dedication to the holy war obligation. 

A proponent of Islam’s mendacious dualism, Sarsour is also predictable with her use of the term Islamophobia to silence all dissent, and her promotion of the great Palestinian lie that they are willing to negotiate peace.  The technique is taqiyyah,   the Sharia-endorsed practice of blatant lying and deception in order to hoodwink the other.  Her feminist and human rights causes are a cover for her true pursuit. 

Traditionally, in the shame-honor Islamic culture, men are deemed superior while women are degraded   and the punishment for any disobedience to the Koranic proscriptions may be severe to fatal.  Children spend most of their early childhood raised by a distressed, devalued mother, deprived of a loving environment and fearful of losing favor, being beaten, punished with isolation, or even annihilated.  In The Jihadi Dictionary, Dr. Nancy Hartevelt Kobrin explains this as trauma-bonding.  Treated as objects, they fail to learn empathy and compassion, treat others as objects, and bond with hard objects (such as weapons).

The young boy will learn the art of beheading in kindergarten, slinging rocks at Israeli vehicles, taunting IDF soldiers, treating female as bodies for rape.  The young girl is further traumatized by the physically and psychologically painful FGM that could lead to lifelong infection and other complications, followed by supplementary mutilation at the time of marriage and childbirth.

Understanding her unwavering, limited destiny, the Muslim daughter may develop a resentment, even a repugnance and shame for her femaleness.  Sarsour was raised in an unassimilated environment in Brooklyn, helped care for her six younger siblings; attended a school she resented (her mother’s choice), where she joined an activist club; was forced into an early marriage and motherhood of three; absorbed her people’s resentments and hatreds but was required to repress the anger and aggression she felt against her family. This has produced hostility against other women, which is distinctly evident when she addresses an audience.

Linda Sarsour has become the jihadi,  internalizing the male’s rage and undertaking his role of leadership to promote a Palestinian state and Islam for the masses – ironically, this is a campaign for continuing the extreme cruelty to women.  Despite the pain at her own betrayal and surgery, she dismisses FGM as merely a “cut,” and, denying the right to free speech, rejects all further discussion.  A civilizational jihadist, she works to attract people to Islam while also vilifying Israel.

Islam was born out of envy and hatred of Judaism and Jews, in particular.  Their Prophet’s new religion of “peace” was markedly successful in converting the residents of Mecca and Medina when he slaughtered, enslaved, and thieved their resources as bounty.  Over a hundred verses in the Koran decree war with Jews and Christians, including extermination, and while it is estimated that 300 million Muslims believe in violent jihad, Sarsour’s chosen method is to push the narrative of Palestinian injustice in order to invalidate Israel and, therefore, justify Sharia and terrorism.  Her politics and perpetual rage, taking opportunity in American gullibility, enabled her to partially dismantle the New York Police Department (NYPD) and its stop-and-frisk program, and used the Harvey disaster-relief program to increase voter registration and direct funds to the villainous George Soros.  She defames Israel to negate the Jewish right to their land and state, slanders our President, and works to replace our way of life with Sharia.

Sarsour displays no feminine sympathy for the girls who are sexually mutilated and condemned to marry older, abusive men; or the Yazidi girls and women who were captured for a lifetime of sexual slavery; or the world of oppressed Muslim women, such as the Iranians who are bravely removing their hijabs and protesting their subjugation in this post-Shah era.  Rather, Sarsour’s mission is to promote Palestinian victimhood for Palestinian state to exist in place of Israel, and to vilify President Trump for his allegiance to American values and commitment to Jerusalem as Israel’s eternal capital, with the final goal being the destruction of Israel and America and the adoption of Sharia law for all under single world rule,  a global caliphate.

Sharia — Destroyer of Civilizations


Hello, I would like to talk to you about Sharia and how it destroys civilizations. Ever wondered how Turkey, Pakistan, North Africa, the Middle East and Egypt all became completely Islamic? Well, the answer is simple, Sharia was implemented, after Islam invaded.

Now before I tell you what Sharia is, we need to tell you what Islam is and no, Islam is not just a religion found in the Koran. The reason is simple, there’s not enough in the Koran to practice the Five Pillars of Islam. But there are 91 verses in the Koran, which say that every human being is to follow the perfect pattern of Muhammad’s life and Muhammad’s life is found in the Sira, his biography and the Hadith his traditions.

Now, Sharia is frequently called Sharia Law or Islamic Law, but it’s much more than law, it is a code of behavior, it is ethics, it is philosophy, it is religion. To call it Sharia Law is to make it too small, everything about how to lead your life as a human being, is found under this Koran and the Sira and the Hadith, but there’s too much information there and so what the Sharia does, it takes and summarizes and codifies and interprets the Koran, the Sira and the Hadith.

For instance, if you want to know about Islamic divorce, you don’t want to sit down and read all of the Koran, the Sira and the Hadith, but the Sharia does this for you. Sharia takes a topic like divorce and brings in everything from the Koran, the Sira and the Hadith, so that you can get a definitive answer. Since the Koran and the Sira and the Hadith include religion, politics, law and culture, Sharia includes religion, politics, law and culture.

There’s something interesting about the Sharia, you, whether you are Muslim or not, are found in the Sharia. This is a little odd, because Catholic canon law is for Catholics, Jewish law is for Jews, but all people are included in the Sharia. Sharia is Allah’s law and our laws are manmade laws, so it follows that the Sharia must rule all the world, including Europe and the United States.

All human actions have a place in Sharia rulings. The Sharia forbids criticism of Muhammad or the Koran or Islam, it also include Jihad and defines this Jihad. Jihad is simple, it is to be practiced, until the entire world submits to the Sharia. All Kafirs, non-Muslims, must become dhimmis. You don’t have to convert to Islam, but you do have to let Sharia rule and under the Sharia, dhimmis are second-class subjects, not even citizens.

Some rulings found under the Sharia, such as women, you have wife beating, which is part of the Sharia, child marriage is part of the Sharia, female genital mutilation is permitted, polygamy is permitted, honor killings are not punished and the rape of Kafir women is allowed, yes, that is true.

Under freedom, you need to understand something, under the Sharia, there’s a peculiar form of freedom, which is to be a complete slave to the Sharia. The Muslim is free as the slave of the Sharia. Free speech is forbidden, no one is allowed to criticize Islam, apostates can be killed without penalty, art may not include people or music and literature and songs may not blaspheme Islam, under business, interest is forbidden.

Now the purpose of migration is to establish the Sharia. Muslims don’t really care whether we convert or not, as long as we let the Sharia rule. Now Sharia is Allah’s law and our laws are manmade. Allah’s law is higher than man-made law, so therefore we must submit to Allah’s Law.

Now you probably say to yourself, I don’t know anything about Sharia, but you do know it without thinking about it. Every step of Islamification of your country is done under the pressure of Sharia, example, the demand to wear a Hijab at work, to have school prayer, the fact that you should not be allowed to criticize Islam, Muhammad or the Koran, these are all elements of the Sharia, the Sharia says that Kafirs, the non-Muslims must accept all Muslim refugees and support them. This is just the natural way that it is, the Muslim must be supported by the nonbeliever.

Now back to the question I asked at the start, the reason that all these native civilizations disappeared is that once Islam invaded, Sharia was implemented. Once the Sharia is implemented, the society becomes more and more Islamic, there may be a change of government, but it’s still an Islamic government.

Now most people are nice people and they say, “Well, if Muslims want a little Sharia, “we’ll give them a little Sharia,” but here’s the thing, Sharia includes codification for every act, so there is no end to the Islamic demands. You may not think you know anything about Sharia, but actually you do, all you have to do is to watch what Muslims do around you and they’re all part of Sharia. We must learn what Sharia is, if we’re to protect our society and we must not Islamicize any part of our society by yielding to the Sharia.

The Ban on issued Coins that Commemorated Waterloo


Armstrong Economics Blog/European Union

Re-Posted Jan 23, 2018 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Wrote said that under the EU organization, the French insisted there would be a prohibition against issuing any coin that commemorated Waterloo. Can you elaborate on that? I never heard of that clause before.

ANSWER: Yes, and Belgium defied the rule by issuing a commemorative 2.5 euro coin that was NOT for general circulation. It was a special issue collector’s coin. Great Britain also issued a commemorative 2-pound collector’s coin in 2015 also celebrating the victory at Waterloo. Both were for collector purposes and thus skirted around the prohibition included in the agreement for the Euro by the French.

The tensions between nations politically still survive throughout Europe. When the Eurostar was created so you can ride the train from Paris or Brussels to London, it was set to arrive in London at Waterloo Station. Despite the European project design to federalize Europe, the ill-feelings run deep and will remain going forward for you cannot change history.

Deep Weeds Beyond “The Big Ugly”…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on January 22, 2018 by

Allow me to share right away that if you haven’t followed the entire fourteen months of discussion surrounding The Big Ugly, this is not a discussion thread you will enjoy.

This is more digestible by those who have a comprehensive understanding of the 2016 back-story behind the DOJ and FBI surveillance program of Candidate Donald Trump, then President Trump, and the FISA-701(16)(17) issues therein.

On this subject, as with a few in the past, CTH has presented intricacies beyond the current story.

Oddly, when this happens, and specifically because of our prior crowd-sourcing track record, we pick up ‘nodes’, operational insiders who are curious about how we construct and predict seemingly invisible action.

That said, this entire Justice Department surveillance operation did not start with candidate Donald Trump.  It has been going on, albeit with slightly different methods, for many years.  The past 20 +/- years have seen an exponential growth of the electronic use of U.S. Justice Department political surveillance.

Hundreds of federal and state officials are monitored, and the reason therein is not as riddled with complexity as we might think.  The motives are not deep, they’re shallow. Ultimately, it is all about money.  If an entity can know, in advance, what actions are going to be taken by State and Federal officials, an entity can make massive amounts of money.  Think about government contract bids submitted electronically as one example.

There are billions of billions to be made with the right information.  As such, there are millions of millions to be spent on obtaining that information.  Everything is up for sale.

Hardware and infrastructure is not installed by government; it is installed by contractors who work for government.  Hardware is not manufactured by government, it is manufactured by contractors.  Which is more valuable: the door key into your home or the pass-code for the security system?

The metadata collection Ed Snowden discussed was the tip of the iceberg.  Snowden was inside the system, he discussed how information was gathered.  Snowden never discussed who actually controls the weaponization of the information from the outside.  Who pays?

Who pays for access to systems?  Who pays the DOJ and FBI officials for access?  Who pays for the information.  Ultimately, who controls that information.  It is all connected.

A reasonable guess would be eight-out-of-ten federal politicians are paid by entities outside government for access to existing systems and hardware.  Just because the system is intelligence, and might have national security ramifications, doesn’t change the process.

The Awan Brothers should be a solid reference point.  Watch:

.

Just like lobbyists paying politicians to write legislation beneficial to those paying for services, so too are foreign and domestic entities paying for access to federal and state information.  This has been happening so frequently the actual scale of the problem is larger than any capacity of the system to self-correct internally.

Almost every entity within the current political system is dependent on retention of a pay-for-information network that has been built-out over the past 15+/- years.  The scope of the growth in selling political information began escalating with Bill Clinton, by the first-year of President Obama’s second-term the growth was exponential.

Look at the number of people occupying K-Street offices in Washington DC.

Consider the sheer growth volume of lobbying expenditures:

See the scale of growth?

♦ Selling Information – There are massive metadata files on all key public officials.  The higher the official is in the influence chain, the move valuable their data-file.   Within their file EVERYTHING about them is available for purchase.  What they do, what they purchase, who they call, where they are, who they lunch with, who paid, what they ate, where they travel, what they are working on, etc. everything is available.

If an entity has a financial stake based on engagement with one or more of those officials, it is entirely possible to purchase the file (whole or in part).   This is the type of data, the type of business model, that Glenn Simpson, Bean LLC, aka ‘Fusion-GPS’ engage with.

Every keystroke the targeted official enters, in business or profession, is available for purchase; so too is the same information available on every one of their colleagues and family members; and that purchase can extend to their friends and their friends families.

The Awan Brothers were simply brokers for this type of information.

It is a massive business.  The annual federal budget is $4,000,000,000,000.00 +/-

Four trillion is four thousand billions.

It is specifically because of the financial opportunity within this business model the United States Justice Department has been corrupted.  Institutionally corrupted, top-to-bottom.

It is almost beyond the scope of us to understand is how incredibly difficult this is to fix.

What Chairman Devin Nunes, Chairman Bob Goodlatte, Chairman Chuck Grassley and Inspector General Michael Horowitz are trying to do is no less than an institutional purge to the entire U.S. Justice Department, while simultaneously keeping it running.

Beyond what those reformers are attempting we have the U.S. State Department – same problem, same scale, same issues.  Secretary Rex Tillerson is only beginning to scrape the surface of the problem.

Imagine how much more challenging it would be if the corrupt institution currently being confronted by Nunes, Goodlatte, Grassley and Horowitz was spread over the entire planet?

Think about it?

That’s currently Secretary Tillerson’s challenge to manage and control…..

…. we haven’t even begun to fathom that yet.

The Humanitarian Hoax of Common Core: Killing America With Kindness – hoax 19


by Linda Goudsmit
January 14, 2018

The Humanitarian Hoax is a deliberate and deceitful tactic of presenting a destructive policy as altruistic. The humanitarian huckster presents himself as a compassionate advocate when in fact he is the disguised enemy.

Obama, the humanitarian huckster-in-chief, weakened the United States for eight years presenting his crippling Common Core advocacy as altruistic when in fact it was designed for destruction. His legacy, the Leftist Democrat Party with its “Resistance” movement, is the party of the Humanitarian Hoax attempting to destroy the capitalist infrastructure of American democracy and replace it with socialism.

Common Core is a deliberate information war targeting American children. It is a deceitful campaign to undermine established American Judeo-Christian cultural norms celebrating patriotism, the meritocracy, and American sovereignty. The Leftist/Islamist axis is promoting collectivism in preparation for one-world government. This is how it works.

Serious educational reform enacted by the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001 was designed to provide high standards and measurable goals to improve individual outcomes in education. Federal funding was correlated to test performance. Rather than improving education the net effect of NCLB was education reformatted to teach to the tests. Education critic Alfie Kohn argued that the “NCLB law is ‘unredeemable’ and should be scrapped – its main effect has been to sentence poor children to an endless regimen of test-preparation drills.” There were loud calls for reform.

Enter Common Core State Standards (CCSS) launched under Obama in 2009 deceptively marketed by a propaganda campaign emphasizing the positive benefits of national standards and uniformity in curriculum guidelines with measurable effectiveness for American public education K-12. Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are mistakenly understood to be a derivative of the No Child Left Behind Act – they aren’t.

Obama’s 2009 Race To The Top program was introduced as a competitive grant program that awarded points to states for satisfying performance-based evaluations of teachers and principals based on measures of educator effectiveness. Sound familiar? It should because measurable effectiveness = student test scores. Even though Race to the Top did not mandate adoption of Common Core, to receive federal stimulus money states had to “commit” to adopting Common Core standards. Forty-two states now operate public and private education under the Common Core program.

So, what makes Common Core a humanitarian hoax? Let’s review.

Common Core Standards Mission Statement:

“The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy. . . These Standards do not dictate curriculum or teach methods.”

Sounds great. The problem is the deceptive language referring to the “real world” the “global economy” and the misleading statement that the Standards do not dictate curriculum or teaching methods. This is how it works.

Common Core State Standards are not a derivative of America’s No Child Left Behind. Common Core State Standards are a derivative of the United Nation’s Global Education First initiative (GEFI). The 3 Priorities of GEFI are:

Priority 1: Put Every Child in School

Priority 2: Improve the Quality of Learning

Priority 3: Foster Global Citizenship

It is Priority #3 that is most problematic and the basis for the humanitarian hoax of Common Core.

Obama’s Common Core is not teaching American children about the world and how to be effective and competitive in a global marketplace. Obama’s deceitful Common Core initiative is propagandizing American children toward collectivism, globalism, and one-world government with its anti-American, anti-Judeo-Christian, pro-Islamic bias. American public/private education no longer advocates American patriotism, the meritocracy, American exceptionalism, or American sovereignty. America is no longer in control of American education. This is how it happened.

Obama’s infamous Cairo speech launched an eight-year initiative to Connect All Schools that was fraudulently presented as a program to help different people who believe different things be able to communicate and understand one another.

Bethany Blankley’s stunning 4/2015 article exposes Obama’s Common Core as “originating from the One World Education concept, a global goal orchestrated by the Connect All Schools program to globalize instruction. Its origin is funded by the Qatar Foundation International (QFI). The director of QFI’s Research Center for Islamic Legislation and Ethics is Tariq Ramadan, grandson of Muslim Brotherhood founder, Hassan al-Banna.”

World Net Daily WND reported that in 2011 Qatar Foundation International “partnered with the Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education to facilitate matchmaking between classrooms in the U.S. and international schools through. . . the ‘Connect All Schools’ project.” QFI proudly states on its website that the initiative was founded in response to Mr. Obama’s 2009 Cairo speech with the Muslim Brotherhood prominently seated in the front row.

The conspiracy of the Leftist/Islamist axis to re-educate American children away from America-first patriotism toward global governance and Islam is well underway and well funded.

Qatari Foundation International unapologetically states its mission of advancing global citizenship through educational curricula on its Q&A page:

Why is your global presence limited to a select few countries?

While QFI’s mission is dedicated to connecting cultures and advancing global citizenship through education, our current focus is K-12 public and charter schools in the United States, Canada, and Brazil. To find out if a school near you is a QFI partner, see our map to find other resources that may help your child learn Arabic, visit Al Masdar.

Most parents have no idea what their children are learning in school unless their child asks for help with homework or relates an experience at school. Parents in any of the 42 states that have adopted Common Core State Standards need to start reading their children’s textbooks immediately. It is up to parents to decide if they support American sovereignty and fair trade in the global marketplace or if they support global citizenship and a globalized curriculum promoting one-world government. It is a matter of informed consent.

This brings us to the United Nations Agenda 21 initiated in 1992 and described in a lengthy report titled United Nations Sustainable Development. The entire document can be summarized in one sentence:

The United Nations Agenda 21 is a plan for a New World Order that internationalizes the entire world into a global society under its own UN global governance for our own good of course. Its lofty Preamble reads like the lyrics of John Lennon’s song “Imagine.” In the old days power grabbers for world domination were not so soft spoken. Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini did not sing lullabies of peace – but this is the 21st century and requires a different approach. We have “Imagine” and the updated 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The Culture War is an insidious information war being waged on America through the political correctness, moral relativism, and historical revisionism embodied in the informational materials supplied by the pro-globalism enemies of national sovereignty at the UN. Stealth jihad is quietly being fought in classrooms with the educational propaganda of the World Core Curriculum – not with bullets or airplanes.

In 1989 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) awarded its prize for peace education to the father of global education and creator of the World Core Curriculum (WCC) Robert Muller. He accepted his award saying, “I dream that UNESCO will study and recommend by the year 2000 a world core curriculum for adoption by all nations.”

Why is a world core curriculum desirable? Most people understand the mission of the United Nations to be promotion of mutual respect and understanding between sovereign nations with differing cultures. Were we mistaken or mislead? Was the goal of the UN always universal citizenship? Muller says, “In the final analysis… the main function of education is to make children happy, fulfilled, and universal human beings.” Universal human beings?? Really?

In November, 2010 Obama’s Secretary of Education Arne Duncan addressed UNESCO praising universal education without ever mentioning educational content. Educating the world’s children is a laudable goal. Putting every child in school and improving the quality of learning is an altruistic undertaking. The problem is that most people naively assume universal education advances literacy and do not realize it is a propaganda tool designed to advance global governance. It is a humanitarian hoax.

In a world of technology where hard copy books are increasingly being replaced with software and lessons taught on computers it is incredibly simple to alter, censor, and manipulate original texts. Having the world’s children literate and able to read about the world to better understand other cultures and live together in peace is not the same thing as having the children of the world literate to be propagandized by manipulated curriculum content.

There are 193 member states in the United Nations and only 86 are full-fledged democracies. The G77 has 134 members (69% of member states) and functions to advance the economic well-being of the Third World. It should surprise no one that UN educational objectives are in conflict with traditional American educational objectives.

Curriculum content for American educational materials must be developed by Americans for Americans with an unapologetic America-first foundation. Parents endorsing the Common Core State Standards are unwittingly endorsing the pro-Muslim anti-American globalized educational products designed by British publishing giant Pearson Education. Pearson Education supplies educational materials to Connect All Schools.

When the UK froze Muammar Gaddafi’s assets in 2011 The Sovereign Fund of Libya had a 3.27% stake in Pearson. Libya was the second largest shareholder in Pearson Education. CAIR, designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates, was also an investor. The anti-American, anti-Semitic, pro-Muslim Pearson educational products must not be allowed to propagandize American students.

Words matter. It is essential that Americans understand what one-world government global citizenship means in the Arab world. To Qatar and the Islamic world it means the re-establishment of the Islamic caliphate that rules the world under religious Islamic sharia law. It is equally important for Americans to understand what one-world government means to the secular globalist elite.

Secular one-world government was described in chilling detail 65 years ago by English aristocrat Lord Bertrand Russell in his alarming book, The Impact of Science on Society. Neither the secular nor the religious version of one-world government is the fulfillment of John Lennon’s iconic song “Imagine.” Both are regressive returns to feudal infrastructures consisting of the few ruling masters, the mass of ruled slaves, and an army of soldiers to enforce the pyramid. Both see the United Nations as the instrument for imposition and management of their own version of global governance.

If American parents do not become actively involved in discovering what their children are learning in school they will be unable to oppose the radical education initiative currently transforming the children of the world into “green” or “global citizens” prepared for the New World Order. The humanitarian hoax of Common Core will successfully propagandize American children to reject American citizenship and become citizens of a world dictated and governed by the United Nations. Ignorance is not bliss and willful blindness is not a position of strength – it is submission.
