US: Republican Party rides wave of backlash against Obama Administration. Campaign rhetoric is full of promises to trim government, reduce controls, regain prosperity, restore the Constitution, and “take back our country.” [Beware! This is the same old two-party ping-pong game that has been played for decades. Vote against the previous Party but don’t think too deeply about the replacement. Most of these so-called Constitutionalist politicians have voted against the Constitution at every turn throughout their careers. As Lenin once said: “Words are one thing. Actions another.” Judge Republicans and Democrats alike; not by their present words, but by their previous actions.]

THOUGHT CONTROL THROUGH EDUCATION
2010 Sep 20 from Catherine Collin
Dear Mr. Griffin…
First of all, let me tell you that your essays really left a strong impression in me. It “rang a bell” somewhere…
Growing up in Brazil during the military regime (courtesy of the U.S.A.) and going to school there, at first didn’t seem to be very difficult, but it really opens your eyes as to how deceiving education can be. As soon as the I was at the primary school, I could sense that our “Educacao social e fisica” books (social education) was a bit “biased”. From about 11 years old, I used to tell my dad that they were wrong but, at that age, I couldn`t point it out what.
That became more clear when I was in the PUC (pontificia Universidade Catolica) University doing my degree in Psychology; I was so very frustrated by every year in College that I used to cry everyday going there. I had expected so much and, again, I couldn`t point out what was wrong with it.
The same feeling comes now, studying to pass an exam, to do post-graduation in Criminology in a University in Athens, Greece. Reading various books on the matter, I realized that the line of thought of modern education is “truncated”. It is not continous. I remember studying Freud in the University and I realized we never read one single book that he wrote; we used to read parts of them. In criminology, it is the same system, the books describe different theories on the matter, never deepening in any line of thought. Maybe you would think that there is no problem with that but, if you compare it with the Platonic or the Pythagorean Universities, where lines of thought were studied so deeply they could be translated mathematically, you realize that there is something wrong with modern education. As you said in your text, ” create attitudes”. As a psychologist, I can tell you that you create attitudes when you teach someone how to think. If people are given just “techniques” to “do a job”, they never learn HOW to think – they become conditioned by the WAY they think.
That is very clear in the way people in Greece (and world wide)are responding to the crisis. I have an economist friend (and economists in general) that think it is perfectly all right to borrow from the IMF and instigate austerity measures to solve economic problems. Besides that being completelly ilogical (as punctuated by different economists such as Max Keiser and others) it shows that the human brain can only grasp the truncated notions of different techniques (increase taxes, pay debts, cut jobs), but is unable to bind/join/ link those acts together like…in a mathematical equasion (A+B+C=D).There is no continuinity.
By coincidence, I found a text about Foucault. A text about “disciplined society”; he realized that, from the 16th century, the system used techniques from psychiatric hospitals and prisons to condition, control, and keep society productive and disciplined. He called it “the birth of BIO- politics”, “psychiatric power”, “carceral continuun”, “government that regulates population by Bio- power”. I think you would be interested in his books.
Thank you for sending me “Unfiltered News”.
