The united States Census Buerau - Making sure we have enough Congressmen representing you, so you'll have someone to call when we use the data to put you in camps.

WASHINGTON — Two scholars say in a new research paper that despite earlier denials, the Census Bureau was deeply involved in the roundup and internment of Japanese Americans at the onset of U.S. entry into World War II.

The academics say the Census Bureau’s involvement included identifying concentrations of people of Japanese ancestry in geographic units as small as city blocks, lending a senior Census Bureau official to work with the War Department on the relocation program and a willingness to disclose names and address of Japanese Americans.

While it is common today for the Census Bureau to publish reports that detail the number of people of a given race living in an area as small as a city block, such information was generally not available in the 1940s. But the authors of the paper contend that the Census Bureau provided such detailed information as well as age, sex, citizenship and country of birth to the War Department, now the Defense Department, on only one group — Japanese Americans.

In 1941 and ‘42, the paper says, Census Bureau officials believed that such information was valuable to the War Department’s effort in rounding up Americans of Japanese ancestry.

The paper, “After Pearl Harbor: The Proper Role of Population Data Systems in Time of War,” was written by William Seltzer, a statistician and demographer at Fordham University, and Margo Anderson, a history professor at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee whose area of expertise is the census.

Seltzer and Anderson plan to present the paper at the annual meeting of the Population Association of America next week in Los Angeles.

The practices described in the paper did not appear to have violated laws governing the census, which prohibit the bureau from disclosing information on individuals. But the authors indicated that Census Bureau officials appeared to be willing to provide such data. What is not clear is whether they were asked to do so.

“We’re by law required to keep confidential information by individuals,” the paper quotes the director of the Census Bureau, J.C. Capt, as saying at a meeting of the Census Advisory Committee in January 1942. But if the defense authorities found 200 Japanese Americans missing and they wanted the names of the Japanese Americans in that area, Capt said, “I would give them further means of checking individuals.”

WW2 American Concentration Camp

But Census Bureau officials do not dispute the findings of the paper. They say, however, that the strengthening of the laws protecting the confidentiality of data on individuals and the environment today would make a repeat of those abuses unlikely.

Japanese Americans have long suspected that the Census Bureau played a prominent role in the roundup and relocation of 120,000 residents of Japanese ancestry to detention camps in the interior.

“We’ve always suspected this,” said Norman Mineta, a former California congressman who was relocated with his family from San Jose to a detention camp in Wyoming. “After all, they are the keeper of this kind of information.”

On Dec. 9, 1941, two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Census Bureau produced a report titled, “Japanese Population of the United States, Its Territories and Possessions.” The next day it issued a report on the Japanese population by citizenship and place of birth in selected cities. The next day it published another report, this one on the Japanese population by counties in states on the West Coast. All reports were based on data from the 1940 census.

Capt justified the speed with which the bureau produced these reports by saying at meeting of the Census Advisory Committee in January 1942: “We didn’t want to wait for the declaration of war. On Monday morning we put our people to work on the Japanese thing.”

The United States declared war on Japan that Monday afternoon.

Southern Poverty Law Center

March 19, 2010 – After recovering from the “news” that the new film Camp FEMA is somehow racist, I thought it might behoove me to take another look. Maybe the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) knows something I don’t about “racism.” After exploring their interesting site, it has become even more clear that they are not on the side of We-the-People. In fact, they may have been founded on some very sound principles, but their present-day agenda is profoundly more nefarious.

Indulge me for a minute please…my family has fought racism throughout our generations. My grandfather preached equality for ALL in churches in the South. How easy do you think that was to do? My parents did not allow us to use derogatory words, even going so far as to not allow us to use a person’s skin color to describe them. I am still scarred from a battle I had at a United Methodist church in Louisiana, as a seventeen-year old girl, trying to fight racism and politics. Did the Southern Poverty Law Center bother to ask me any questions? No, they didn’t. Believe me, growing up in the South in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s, I know a thing or two about racism!

Many news outlets use the Southern Poverty Law Center to comment on racial issues. There are several; CBS, FoxNews, CNN, the New York Times, Newsweek, the Washington Post, the Associated Press, and more. A group that focuses on hate, The SPLC issues quarterly “reports” about hate…groups, actions, people. In its Spring 2010 Intelligence Report, they claim to have identified 512 “Patriot” groups in the US. (What is wrong with a “Patriot” group?) In their defense, the SPLC does say that being categorized as a “patriot group” does not mean these “groups” advocate violence or hate. Why, then, list them at all? Are they trying to put something in the public’s mind about these “groups?”

The SPLC, the MIAC Report and the Federal government have perverted the true definition of patriot. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a “patriot” as someone “who loves his or her country and supports its authority and interests.” The SPLC says that these groups “define themselves” as “opposed to the ‘New World Order,’ engage in groundless conspiracy theorizing, or advocate or adhere to extreme antigovernment doctrines.”

Shouldn’t Americans be opposed to a “New World Order”? A “New World Order” would be against our sovereignty as both a free country and free individuals. It has also been presented time and again by US officials, as well as foreign leaders, including Gordon Brown of England, who alluded to, and outright commented on, the New World Order many times. In 1991, Former President Bush, Sr. gave a speech in which we would be “forging for ourselves and others a New World Order,” where, oddly enough, he says the “rule of law” will govern. He further talks about the United Nations. The United States has a great “Rule of Law,” the Constitution, yet our elected officials ignore, circumvent, and issue “Presidential Signing Statements” to avoid that law, and have, since the beginning of our country. This idea is not as far-fetched as the SPLC would have you believe and the SPLC would have you look the other way while they defame the true defenders of the “Rule of Law”.

Engaged in “groundless conspiracy theories” is the SPLC’s opinion and lacks the journalistic integrity to be included in an “intelligence report”. Plus, exactly to which “conspiracy theories” do they refer…or are they referring to ANY questioning of the Federal Government as conspiracy theories? I hate to point it out, but in the United States, we are governed by the consent of the people, so the people are supposed to be in charge, and it is our duty to question what we 1) think does not add up, 2) do not understand, and 3) anything else that threatens our inherent rights granted to us by our Creator.

Of course, one of the “theories” to which they refer has to be the questions surrounding September 11, 2001. There are legitimate questions surrounding that particular event, and if the government wanted to shut up these particular “conspiracies,” all they would have to do is provide answers. In a BBC production from several years ago, Former Florida Senator Bob Graham (who co-chaired the Congressional Inquiry into 9/11) said, “I can just state that within 9/11 there are too many secrets, that is information that has not been made available to the public for which there are specific, tangible, credible answers and that withholding of those secrets has eroded public confidence in their government as it relates to their own security.” Graham was/is right, of course, as the numbers of those who have honest questions about 9/11 are still growing.

Another “groundless conspiracy theory” is that surrounding the afore-mentioned New World Order. At the Spring 2009 G20 Summit, England’s Brown pushed the global community into a New World Order. The discussion of our financial system coming under the regulation of the International Monetary Fund had Dick Morris and Sean Hannity realizing that one of the concerns of the “New World Order conspiracy theorists” was actually happening. In affect, these “theorists” had been “right” all along.

Yet another “conspiracy theory” was “Gulf War Illness.” Since the first Gulf War, veterans have been extremely ill and the government steadily denied “gulf war syndrome,” favoring to diagnosing these extremely ill men and women with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). But the government could no longer deny the existence of “Gulf War Illness,” almost 20 years later, when a federal report published in December 2008 acknowledged that there was, indeed, an actual illness related to the 1990/91 Gulf War. From an article revealing the report: “The 452-page report states that ‘scientific evidence leaves no question that Gulf War illness is a real condition with real causes and serious consequences for affected veterans.’”

Let’s move on to the SPLC’s claim of “antigovernment” extremism. One of the things that those so-called “antigovernment” agendas have in common is their love for country, love for freedom and love for our “Founding Documents,” which includes the Constitution. One must wonder how the SPLC can possibly think these groups are antigovernment when they hold so dearly to the Constitution! What these groups are against is an over-reaching, power-grabbing, intrusive government, a government that will not uphold the “rule of law!” What these groups are looking for is the government as defined in the Constitution of the United States of America. What is so wrong with that? It’s what our Founding Fathers fought and died for! Isn’t that the government that spurred the forging and forming of our country?

It is worth mentioning that maybe the SPLC got its definition of “antigovernment” or better yet, “patriot” from the government itself. In 2001, a pamphlet originating from the Phoenix FBI Office shocked people everywhere. This pamphlet tries to make us think that those who “defend the US Constitution” or those who “make numerous references to the US Constitution” are potentially dangerous. Even so, can’t an organization that is looked to for information make an educated decision about who could be dangerous without relying on an out-of-control government?

This brings me to what happened last summer. While the SPLC was investigating organizations like the Oath Keepers, the Liberty Restoration Project and We are Change, or people like Alex Jones, Gary Franchi and others, why wasn’t the SPLC “investigating” the FBI? Did they forget about radio host Hal Turner? Turner was a white supremacist that happened to be an asset to the federal government. When is the SPLC planning to investigate Federal government? If there is one “Hal Turner,” there must be others. Who are they? How many more “Hal Turners” are inciting hate and violence at the Government’s direction? Does the SPLC know the answer? Are they “investigating” that?

Recent comments made by Dr Heidi Beirich lead me to now ask, is the SPLC going to investigate one of their own? Dr. Beirich took the “opportunity” to call Gary Franchi “insane” and Alex Jones a “lunatic” and accuse Jones of “inspiring” the murder of three police officers in Pittsburgh last year. In response, Franchi says, “It is irrational to assume that because you are unhappy with the government you encourage people to become violent towards individual government employees.” When did questioning the government make you racist or a promoter of hate, and, now, someone who inspires murder? AND, what did Turner inspire, BACKED BY the government?

What is SPLC’s real agenda? They obviously do not promote freedom of speech unless you agree with their rhetoric. Maybe I will borrow words from readers of SPLC’s Spring article slamming Camp FEMA and Colorado’s KBDI: “How does wanting a new 9/11 investigation equate to hate speech?” or “What does Camp FEMA have to do with hate? It actually exposes hate” or “Those who feel this is hatred must also feel our founding fathers were bigots” or better yet, if you “don’t like programs that edge towards the truth keep listening to your elected officials and the mainstream media!” (Remembering that the approval rating for both is EXTREMELY low!) People should demand that the Southern Poverty Law Center come clean with their new agenda of pushing hate, because it is clear the SPLC has strayed far from the sound principles of their founding.

by Justin Kapacinskas

Friends, fellow thought-criminals, and all free persons from the constitutional underground: Feeling especially seditious and rambunctious today, I decided to post this extended rant for your entertainment and possible discernment.

For those not under the hypnosis of the “mainstream” media, you might be an anarcho-conspiracist if you would even entertain the question of the truth or falsehood of historical events as handed down by the High Priests of Official Knowledge and if you would dare show contempt for the “authority” of the state mafia ruling us to openly commit fraud, extortion, racketeering, larceny, torture, kidnapping, and murder.

Inside the Collectivist Matrix

In the New Orwellian Order (abbreviated NWO), the parameters of debate are usually not determined according to a democratic and open exchange in the free market of ideas. Instead, the controlled, self-reinforcing, and most importantly, false left-right paradigm is cunningly and surreptitiously imposed upon the collective psyche of the unwashed masses through various industrial-scientific means and modes. This virtual collectivist matrix is the chief purveyor of lies, yet it is claimed to be the sole arbiter of truth. Its aim is the control and bondage of the mind, body, and spirit. It is the antithesis to self-ownership and the opposite of freedom.

If it wasn’t on TeeVee, it didn’t happen, the cliche goes. But for the mind-numbed, decadent, dumbed-down, and desensitized public, this is effectively a truism.

Most criticism of the state, its quasi-private agencies, and corporate partners is expurgated from the official and corporate narratives broadcast and published daily. To the contrary, the state and its agents are routinely held up to Heaven and thanked and praised. The only officially-pronounced “serious” debate is then bounded by two corporate management and marketing teams who in substance disagree on very little. The only real argument is who should ceremoniously stand at the helm of the corporate-socialist leviathan.

The twin collectivist-statist parties prop each other up and effectively stage a theatrical production of the Big Government Party vs. the Bigger Government Party. The apparently unsuspecting, robo-voting hordes and devout adherents to the religion of American exceptionalism have been programmed to accept this false choice through the promulgation of sacred state-Myths, the institutionalized keeping of “state secrets”, black budgets, the tradition of framed and rhetorical debate, and ultimately, I suspect, through the despair brought to bear on the hoi polloi by the subconscious realization that nothing really changes from election to digitally-rigged election.

You want arsenic or cyanide with your “sugar-free” Koolaid (read: “already contains poison”)?

Within, at least, the sphere of public affairs and official policy, the consent-manufacturers in the corporate-government-media complex, in so-called “non-governmental organizations”, in the government mind-laundries, and in academia tend to discourage the consistent application of critical thinking and intellectual curiosity. Instead, from our professional political commentators, self-professed globalists, and official government spokespersons, we get the left-right label game and more government, more war, and less freedom.

Official history, the nature and origins of the state’s self-sanctioned monopoly on violence, and the resulting criminal belligerence and negligence, corruption, fraud, and abuse inherent to this form of state mafia syndicalism are outside of the boundaries of debate as framed by the above-mentioned excusers and authoritarians.

It seems that the internet is one of the final bastions of freedom and even here, through the cooperation of government and corporation, we are spied upon and our data is logged, tracked, traced, recorded, and mined. And even here we are propagandized and lied to. But at least here we can (still) open the unapproved channels of information not under the heel of leviathan and do a revolutionary thing: ascertain the facts for ourselves and reject the lies, distortions, and omissions offered in the official excuses and edicts.

SPLC Takes Aim

In its Spring 2010 Newsletter and a recent article about Colorado Public Television, SPLC appears to be becoming a mouth piece for an out-of-control government.

by Debbie Morgan, Staff Writer, TakeBackWashington.com | Is the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) running damage control for the Federal government? In Popular Mechanics denial fashion, its Spring 2010 newsletter and newest article are all but rejecting the widespread evidence about FEMA camps and they are taking potshots at a new documentary that includes information about FEMA. Considering the plummeting approval rating of the new President and Congress, the government must be feeling the pressure of anxiety among US citizens, especially with the outright anger caused by last year’s “leak” of the now-infamous MIAC (Missouri Information Analysis Center) report, the CNN attack piece on the Oath Keepers, and the fall 2009 release of the new film Camp FEMA, it seems likely that damage control is exactly what is going on.

After reading the recent rhetoric by SPLC, I think one has to ask, “What is an organization that is ‘dedicated to fighting civil rights and bigotry’ doing suppressing information about the interning of US citizens and FEMA’s roll?” After all, “FEMA camps,” as they are endearingly referred to by many, are for relocating US citizens from their homes in cases of Government-declared national emergency. Shouldn’t the “civil rights” group be advocating the rights of free US citizens to STAY in their homes, if they so chose? Also, how does the film, Camp FEMA, figure as a hate or bigotry-filled film? For that matter, how does the position of the Oath Keepers and Restore the Republic fall into that category?

The William Lewis Films/Gary Franchi production opens with newsreel footage from the World War II era explaining the internment of Japanese Americans. At that time, the facilities were not referred to as “FEMA camps” (for those with questions, research REX 84), but were called War Relocation communities, as there was no Federal Emergency Management Agency at the time. What is revealed by the first two minutes of the film, however, is that of those relocated to these “communities,” more than two-thirds were American citizens, a fact that sets the stage for the rest of the well-documented film.

In its March 11, 2010 offering, the SPLC also takes aim at Denver Public Television’s KBDI for airing Camp FEMA during its most recent fund drive. The station’s Executive Producer, Shari Bernson, told SPLC that calls about the controversial documentary were “overwhelmingly positive.” Bernson and KBDI are known for presenting programming that is not your typical public television fare. But then, shouldn’t ”public television” be about informing the public rather than “government approved” programming? Again, the film is well documented.

Camp FEMA boasts a collection of interviews with several in the forefront of revealing government corruption and sheds light on legislation and other information about FEMA. And, while the mainstream media would have you believe that some of the guests are “wacko conspiracy theorists,” more than one mainstream news talk show host has had to admit that these people have been right on the money with some of their information. In fact, many of these people are well ahead of mainstream news outlets at getting important information to the public.

SPLC’s spin is less than impressive, however. From FEMA’s inception, its mission statement, its absorption by the Department of Homeland Security to the National Guard ad seeking Internment Specialists (all exposed in Camp FEMA), it is really mind-blowing how the SPLC is able to overlook the interesting array of information readily available to the public.

SPLC also claims that William Lewis Films, Oath Keepers, Restore the Republic and a host of other “patriot-minded” people are militia and conspiracy minded, and, by planting the suggestion in the minds of their readers, that they might even have their roots in “white supremacy” (directly from SPLC: “Though some Patriot movement beliefs have roots in white supremacy”); yet they are nothing of the sort. If the Center had done their proper homework they would find that these people and groups only want the government to be held accountable for its egregious legislation and actions AGAINST the American people and to RETURN to a government that is aligned with our Founding Documents: the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. How, may I ask, is that “militia or conspiratorial minded” or “white supremacist?” Readers need to realize that these are the tools our government, and apparently SPLC, is using to create doubt in the minds of people unfamiliar with what is truly going on.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, the federal government and anyone else who thinks liberty-loving people looking out for their best interests are a threat need to re-read the Bill of Rights (including paying special attention to the Second Amendment) and the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence clearly states:

“…Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

What these people and groups want to do is to merely inform the public about reprehensible government activity and keeping the government in line; making the government live up to the dreams and desires of our Founding Fathers…Freedom…Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for ALL.

After the SPLC and anyone else has read that, they need to answer some questions:

· Why DOESN’T the SPLC and our elected-by-the-people government understand our inherent rights as US citizens?
· Why are YOU labeling freedom-loving, law-abiding United States citizens who question your motivations militia-minded or conspiracy theorists?
· Do you need the general public be in constant fear?

Those of us who hold fast to our inherent rights to freedom are no threat to anyone. That is the reason this country was founded…after all, it is our right and duty to watch our government, and to “provide new Guards for [our] future security…” if need be.

My suggestion is that all US citizens do a little research. READ the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and take a look back at our history. Look at the list of questions provided on the Camp FEMA website. Look at the mission statement of the Oath Keepers, an organization that merely wants to ABIDE by its oath to protect and defend the Constitution (something Congress and the President STILL haven’t figured out how to do!). Look at the information provided on the Restore the Republic website. Ask yourself what you would like to see on your television Public television. All that will be left to do after that is to ask yourself why the SPLC weighed in on this debate.

The Declaration of Independence
http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html

In it, the show’s 11-year-old protagonist, Johnny Test is given a 500-word history assignment on the town’s “Founding Fathers”.  Instead of reading up on the subject, Johnny steals a “replenish ray” from his genius twin sisters and takes it to the local cemetery with the intent of bringing the Founding Fathers back to life.  Things go predictably wrong when the corpses are only reanimated to “half-life”.

The Founding Fathers are depicted as three blue skinned, drooling “Zombies” with simple minds and retarded mannerisms.  Though they are supposed to be the Founding Fathers of the show’s fictional town of “Porkbelly”, they are an obvious smear on our Nation’s “Founding Fathers” as apparent from their 18th century garb and accompanying Colonial background music.

Instead of helping Johnny with his history report, the trio becomes distracted by their fascination with flushing toilets, television and vacuum cleaners.  They steal the family car and head into town where they cause mass hysteria.  Johnny assures everyone that “The Founding Zombies are just happy to be among the living and enjoy high top shoes and portable media”. Porkbelly’s Mayor calls an emergency Town Hall and warns that the Zombies will bring down property values.  The townsfolk scream in horror at the prospect of being homeless and prompt the Mayor to call in the military–who flattens the town with missiles.  One of the townspeople screams, “We’re homeless and they’re still alive!”

Johnny’s mother demands that he get rid of the Zombies.  The authority in her voice gives him an idea.  He goes back to the cemetery and reanimates the Mothers of the Founding Fathers who grab each by the ear and drag them back to the grave after reprimanding them with “You’ve had your time on this Earth, now let them have theirs!”

One of the common themes of this series, and in this episode in particular, is the marginal intelligence of males compared to females.  Johnny’s twin sisters are feminist, scientific geniuses while Johnny himself is portrayed as a manipulative troublemaker who gets his way through blackmail and theft.  This is consistent with the thinking of Cartoon Network founder Ted Turner, who is quoted as saying “Men should be barred from public office for 100 years in every part of the world… The men have had millions of years where we’ve been running things. We’ve screwed it up hopelessly. Let’s give it to the women.”

The Founding Fathers in this episode give an endorsement for the materialistic brain candy used to control contemporary society.  They spend all their time on petty indulgences and show no interest in whether or not the freedom and liberty they fought so desperately to pass on to future generations has survived intact.  The message is that things have vastly improved and that the world is much better off without the boring stodginess of old fools.  Though this can easily be discarded by adults as lame, it makes an indelible impression on young minds who will equate images of our “Founding Fathers” and the “Tea Party” movement as something to be feared or at least marginalized.

This type of indoctrination-through-cartoons has a history that can be traced as far back as 1990 when Ted Turner launched “Captain Planet and the Planeteers”. This show was partially responsible for schooling the current crop of “greenies” and global warming activists who are so brainwashed that they can’t even shake their indoctrination off long enough to recognize the flawed science behind their thinking.  The series centers around five ethnically diverse youths from around the globe who are given magic rings by Gaia, the “Spirit of the Earth.”  Each ring has the power to control an element of nature.  The kids use these powers to combat adult villains responsible for polluting the planet with smog, nuclear radiation, deforestation and toxic waste.  When they can’t handle the job alone, they summon the aid of “Captain Planet”, a rainbow colored demigod with the combined power of all five.  The intent of the series was to promote “earth worship” and to push the United Nations enviromental agenda.  In each episode, Earth was always in peril and it was abudantly clear that man was the most serious threat to its continued survival.  The series ran for two years just ahead of the 1993 “Club of Rome” document entitled “The First Global Revolution”which stated “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill.” Turner himself is a staunch environmentalist who has donated billions to United Nations causes dealing with the environment and population control.

Certainly in the last ten years, Cartoon Network has been more blatantly subversive with their programming.  In addition to “earth worship”, many shows promote paganism and the occult.  One of the most disturbing examples of this is “The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy”, which centers on a pre-school dominatrix (Mandy) who cruelly subjugates and berates a young submissive boy (Billy).  One day they happen upon the Grim Reaper, who has come to collect the soul of their sick Hamster.  Mandy refuses to give Grim the hamster and offers to play a game for its soul.  Mandy cheats and, as a result, wins eternal slavery from the Grim Reaper who is obligated to cater to her slightest whim.

The Cartoon Network is also notorious for its assaults on traditional family values.  2002 saw the debut of CODENAME: Kids Next Door. The popular series centers around five adolescents who run a spy network called Sector V from a high-tech tree house.  Their stated mission is to battle the tyranny of parents, teachers, senior citizens and other adults who try to oppress them.  Their arch nemesis is “Father”, a pipe smoking, clean cut adult who epitomizes the strong Fatherly image of a by-gone era.  Other villains represent various things that children find objectionable such as spanking (Count Spankulot), going to the dentist (Knightbrace) and taking a bath (Mrs. Dirt).  The show promotes eternal adolescence.  Children and adults are portrayed as two completely different species that have nothing in common.  Adults are looked upon as evil and untrustworthy.  This serves as a primer for children to turn on their parents, spy on them and report their activities to the authorities.  Bertrand Russell would be proud.  In his book, The Impact of Science on Society, Russell postulated “The only remaining possibility of unauthorized propaganda is by secret whispers from one individual to another. But this, in turn, is rendered appallingly dangerous by improvements in the art of spying. Children at school are taught that it is their duty to denounce their parents if they allow themselves subversive utterances in the bosom of the family.” The show is also heavy on themes relating to mind-control and brainwashing.  After a child reaches the age of 13, their memories are erased as they evolve into teenagers.  The entire series is in the tone of Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” where youth is glorified and the concept of family is considered pornographic.

The latest season continues this tradition of brainwashing with shows that are just outright violent.  “Destroy, Build, Destroy!” isa live-action game show that pits two teams of youths in a contest to see what they can build out of things they destroy.  To this end, they are supplied with real instruments of destruction like bazookas, rocket launchers, flamethrowers and actual explosives.  The winning team gets a cash prize and is allowed to destroy the losing team’s creation.  Sounds like an American military campaign, does it not?  The entire show glorifies conquest, destruction and the plundering of wealth and resources.  Rocker Andrew W.K hosts the show.  Just one look at the cover of one of his albums should tell you that this is not the kind of person you want your son to have as a role model.  And if that isn’t enough to convince you, read some of the lyrics to his songs:

You better get ready to die,

You better get ready to kill,

You better get ready to run,

Cause here we come,

You better get ready to die!

Get ready to die!

Get ready to die!

Or how about…

You’re not my mom and dad

And even they watch their backs

Cause they know what I hate

Any rules that I can’t break

Its hard enough raising kids under normal circumstances.  But when you have this level of brainwashing and indoctrination going on behind your back, you can almost be certain that future generations of our children be lost to “The State” and the one-world globalist agenda.  Children are being taught, through television, that parents are their enemy.  They are being schooled in anti-American rhetoric and historical fallacies. They are being urged to tolerate and engage in all manner of hedonistic fetishes.  They are bombarded with images of pornographic violence and taught to embrace the thrill of wholesale slaughter.  Girls are being trained to be whores.  Boys are being trained to be soldiers.  And with the way this country is headed, those may be the only two jobs left.

TURN IT OFF!
