Public Education is Being Deliberately Manipulated to Dumb Down the Population
(Tom: This was written for US figures but no prizes for you if you figure the Australian situation is similar.)
Per the people who keep track of the S.A.T. scores in Princeton, in 1963, the average S.A.T. MATHEMATICS score for high school seniors who wanted to go on to college, was “502”.
Figures were recently released showing that the S.A.T. MATH scores for graduating seniors today is “466”.
Keep in mind that the test has been getting easier. For example, in 1963, you received 1 pt for a correct answer and lost 1/4 pt for a wrong answer. Today, you receive 1 pt for a correct answer and you lose no points for wrong answers, which means that it pays you to guess.
Finally, the 1963 test was 4 hours long. The new, on-line, test is 2 hours and 15 minutes long. That includes Math and English comprehension. The questions, as long as I have been a proctor for the exam, have become much easier.
Clearly, math is being de-emphasized in the high schools.
In 2016, the college board tried to adopt an “Adversity Score” which was based upon the applicants Zip code and how many ‘free lunches’ were given in his/her school. Since then, the general population has complained mightily against this score, asking, how does a single diversity number measure the applicant’s ability to do well in college? The diversity score has since been abandoned.
Finally, the new, on-line, SAT test senses how well you are doing in part One. If you aren’t doing that well, it will provide subsequent questions that are easier in parts 2,3 and 4. Conversely, if you are doing well, it provides more difficult questions. When they score your test, the number of right answers coupled with the point rating of the difficulty of the questions answered, are used to calculate your actual score. They are still taking into consideration a more level playing field, but sacrificing overall quantitative accuracy. Do the research yourself.

CCHR Exhibition
Seriously worth seeing. A real eye opener and game changer! I mean that more than anything else I have ever written. Considering that behind every bad condition will be found a psychiatrist, if every single person of good intent knew the content of this exhibition and applied their knowledge it would revolutionize society!

Bummer Lamb
Every once in a while, a ewe will give birth to a lamb and reject it. There are lots of reasons she may do this. If the shepherd tries to return the lamb, the mother might even kick the baby away. Once a ewe rejects a lamb, she will never change her mind.
The little lamb will hang their head so low that it looks like something is wrong with their little necks. Their spirit is broken.
These lambs are called “bummer lambs.”
Unless the shepherd intervenes, that little lamb will die – rejected and alone.
Do you know what the shepherd usually does?
The shepherd will take that rejected little lamb into their home, hand-feed it and keep it warm. They will wrap it up with blankets and hold it to their chest so the little lamb can hear their heartbeat.
Once the lamb is strong enough, the shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock.
That sheep never forgets the shepherd’s love and care when their mother rejected them. When the shepherd calls for the flock, guess which sheep runs first? That sheep knows the shepherd’s voice.
The bummer lamb isn’t loved more, it just knows intimately the one who loves it. It trusts the shepherd because it has experienced love.
I can’t remember for sure who told me this years ago. But it made an impression on me in many ways.
Have a good day.

Welcome to THE GLOBAL GULAG…
A cogent, concise summary to remind and inspire you to take appropriate action.
What exactly are ‘greens powders’ – and are they worth the hype?
(Tom: Surprising to see the main stream media begrudgingly admit benefits in even normal greens let alone my superfoods!)
They are especially high in a number of key nutrients, including folate, vitamin K, vitamin C and vitamin E. A high intake of these nutrients is associated with a reduced risk of developing a number of types of cancer, including colon and breast cancer. They also play a key role in protecting the body’s cells from damage on a day-to-day basis. While there is strong scientific evidence that associates a high intake of several of these key nutrients with improved immune function and a reduced risk of developing a number of lifestyle diseases, including some types of cancer, the direct relationship between supplementary forms of these nutrients and health outcomes is yet to be seen.
