“It’s called The American Dream because you have to asleep to believe it.” Very telling words stated once by George Carlin. Wish I could prove him wrong. But the truth is, the American way of life is not only a dream, it’s a racket.
If you haven’t heard about the news buzzing around regarding The College Loan scandal. A scandal that I am sure will be resolved the way government solves the problems it creates, more agencies to oversee the problem so that everyone feels like somebody is doing something.
Here are some of the headlines and background info on what is happening.
- Student Financial Aid Scandal grows. “…Documents also show the bank, JPMorgan Chase, paid five college student-loan officers to work for the bank while they still held their jobs at the colleges….”
- Education Dept. Rules on For-profit Schools created with Investor’s help. “A proposed regulation from the Education Department threatens to devastate for-profit career or trade schools, but one thing is even more controversial than the regulation — how it was crafted. Education Department officials were encouraged and advised about the content of the regulation by a man who stood to make millions if it were issued. It’s all part of a growing scandal, in which lenders gave colleges and top officials money and perks — sometimes based on how many students signed up for their loans…”
- Student Loans make Education affordable or do they? “Everyone knows we Americans are swimming in credit card debt. But just this year a new debt has quietly surpassed our consumer spending addiction. Student loans, now at $829 billion.”
- Price of Admission: America’s College Debt Crisis. “As millions of American families struggle to cope with college costs that are rising at twice the rate of inflation, CNBC investigates a system that encourages widespread borrowing—often with little regard to a student’s ability to pay—leaving the average college graduate with tens of thousands of dollars in student-loan debt.”
- College Conspiracy.PLEASE Watch this. Period.
Long story short, the bubble is about to burst… the cat is out of the bag. What cat? An American College Education and the Government’s push through the Department of Ed and all the Testing companies to push “The College Education Agenda” is beginning to being exposed for what it is, a system designed to create lifetime indentured servants. The entire loan industry is a scheme to make a few rich and make everyone else poor and indebted for life.
Friends, follow the money… just follow the money. Wars i.e. The Military Industrial complex; Education i.e. The Education industrial complex; Medicine i.e. The FDA and Big Pharm industry. It’s all big racket. Just follow the money. It’s not rocket science. It just takes an ounce of your interest and curiosity ( the very traits that our well organized and effective Government Schooling has succeeded in schooling out of us ) it just takes your interest to *see*. To see the machine and to see it for what it is. Money is what keeps it moving. I think many of us still believe we live in a period that wrestles between political ideologies and ideas. However, that time has passed. Nobody really believes in that system anymore and certainly not the ones who reap all the benefits. Only the poor souls who still think we live in a Democracy do. I won’t even call it a Republic, that died a silent death to cheers a long time ago.
It’s a machine and every day that we send our kids to it’s schools, that we swipe that credit card, that we buy the car and house we can’t afford, that we take out that loan that we will never pay back, that we tell ourselves we are sick and depressed and need a pill to make us happy, that we believe there is something wrong with our children because their bodies and souls are screaming to us to not imprison them in jails called schools with overwhelmed and trained guards called teachers and so we drug them so they can sit still… so the machine can do it’s thing.
Every single day that you participate in this madness, you hand over a part of your freedom. You hand over a part of your humanity. You hand over good old common sense. All so that a handful make huge profits. There is no Freedom. There is no choice. The only Freedom and Choice is to pull away, to unplug from these institutions of control and death. There are only 2 million Home Ed Families in America today. Let’s make that 5 million, 15 million, 20 million. Let’s work together to wipe out Government Regulation of our families. Let’s prepare our children for real life, action and responsibility and not some Job and the illusion of choice. Choosing between job security A or B, 600 channels and between puppet Red or puppet Blue is not a choice.
It’s all a big racket. All of it. They make money and we keep paying. We pay with our children, our health, our financial freedom. We pay.
What’s left to do? Leave it. Don’t try to change it, IT CAN’T BE DONE. Want to see it end? Walk away from it. Take that first step… and don’t look back. Starve it. Only then can we begin something new.
