America can not stand on her own two feet until she empowers and educates her people to stand on theirs. The Republican propaganda machine utilizes language acquisition and literacy education to deceive and enslave their constituency.

Language acquisition and literacy educators in our primary, secondary, and collegiate schools teach a theory of emotionally driven behavior. This cognitive construct must be further assimilated by a student to understand and comprehend more advanced works in literature, psychology, philosophy, religion, and law. This neurolinguistic programming is also reinforced with a socially accepted reflexive stimulus-thought-emotion-act cognitive construct as professed by our academia in literature, religion, psychology, law, and philosophy. The Republican propaganda machine makes full use of this animalistic reflexive cause and effect emotional process where thoughts stimulate emotions that drive behavior. But this is a false cognitive construct of a highly evolved and human cognitive-emotional re-processing mechanism where cognition, not emotion, precipitates the neurological and biochemical physiology that does drive behavior.

Emotions, as perception of physiological states of being, have evolved to guide, re-process, and re-construct cognitive behavior towards those thoughts and beliefs that feel good and empower the individual. The Republican propaganda machine relies on humanity’s ignorance and inability to re-process, re-structure, and re-organize one’s own internal thoughts, beliefs, and awarenesses towards joy, well-being, and success and rely on a person’s education into an automatic, reflexive, and animalistic behavior responses to blame their outside surrounding and observable “reality” (as the machine has defined it to be) as causal to their pain, suffering, and failure.

Americans are made weak and ineffective in their efforts to combat the Republican propaganda because they are “educated” and have accepted the Ancient Greek philosophers’ and today’s academic dissertations of emotional suffering, slavery, and vulnerability. Americans need to understand that emotional suffering, slavery, and vulnerability exists only when cognitively dwelling upon the lack or absence of that which is wanted, desired, or intended. The lack of our own educational academia to understand our highly evolved and human cognitive-emotional re-processing mechanism has created an opening for a power-hungry, apathetic elite to dominate the political landscape.

Our educators, especially those in language acquisition and literacy development need to understand they are teaching an erroneous psychology of emotionally driven behavior. Disempowering emotionally negative cognitive activities can be re-processed, re-structured, and re-developed into emotionally positive cognitions that reflect health, well-being, and success, if a person has developed the abilities, skills, and beliefs to do so. A Republican constituency of emotional suffering, slavery, and vulnerability can be transformed, transmuted, and reinvented into a humanity of joy, freedom, and power with the imaginative, artistic, and creative mind necessary to fashion and manifest their wanted, desired, and intended world, reality, truth, and favored fortune.

Or, like the Republican elite, is that not the American the Democratic elite want from our educational institutions?

Hello chickens! Come roost beside me; I know why you're here.

If you have read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman", you also know why. At least China gives their plan a name and does most of it out in the open.

Self-recrimination aside, what Thom talks about is sensible and do-able.

My friends and I fought a very destructive pipeline and gas export project for 15 years. We challenged every permit, our state did too for water and air; the owners failed and cancelled it. Most letters/emails I wrote ended with: "Sending fossil fuel from one end to the other of a tired, hot planet is insane!".

As we go green, we can make some amends, help ourselves, and do what is right for American generations to come.
