The EVIL History of our Education System Documentary

https://rumble.com/v5q2txk-the-evil-history-of-our-education-system-documentary.html

Rockefeller created the current school system to create employees. He wanted workers he didn't want people to think for themselves

Rockefeller designed the school system to create a workforce that was just smart enough to operate machines but not smart enough to realize how they were getting manipulated,, Modern "education"
....This was at the turn of last century.

For over 100 years, we’ve been stuck in the same cycle:
“Go to school, get a job, save money, buy a house”—but have you ever questioned why?
In 1902, J.D. Rockefeller and his foundation took control of the education system, creating The General Education Board.
Rockefeller himself said,
“We are not in the business of creating thinkers, we are in the business of creating workers.”
The system wasn’t built to inspire innovation or independent thought—it was designed to churn out obedient employees, not future leaders or entrepreneurs.

Think about it:

Why are so many of today’s most successful entrepreneurs and business owners high school or college dropouts?

They rejected a system that was never meant to help them succeed.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

We’ve all been manipulated.

This routine has been passed down from generation to generation—our grandparents taught it to our parents, who passed it to us, and now we’re teaching it to our children.

But it’s a lie.

The system was designed to keep you stuck, believing that life is hard, that struggle is inevitable.

But with the right knowledge and mindset, life isn’t hard.
Starting a business is simple when you break free from the mental conditioning we’ve all been subjected to.
The only reason it feels difficult is because we’ve been programmed to think it is.
It’s time to wake up.

Challenge the system. Break the cycle. Rewrite your story.

You are not here to just work and survive—you’re here to think, create, and thrive.

Indoctrination and Capture of the Educational System:

It may already be obvious that the educational and academic systems are captured and have been designed to target children and young minds with psychological manipulation tactics and the indoctrination of the controller narratives.

History is rewritten by the Controllers; the children are educated to believe the new falsified accounts of history.

The educational system is based upon the text books provided for and approved by the elite that reinforce the falsified histories that dumb students down and mold them to grow into adulthood as obedient and predictable employees or worker slaves.

Through the investigative research of John Gatto,
a former teacher,
school was designed to be a branch of industry and a tool for governance by the power elites that gained ground at the turn of the century.

Gatto examines the problems with schooling being structural and that it is unable to be reformed,
because it has been built to serve a particular function.

A function that at its core is anti-human.
John D. Rockefeller founded the General Education Board In 1903,
which provided major funding for schools across the country and was especially active in promoting the State-controlled public-school system.

The Rockefellers, along with other elites such as the Gates, Carnegies and Vanderbilts,
along with their false fronts posing as philanthropic organizations,
have been able to mold society by funding and pushing compulsory state schooling for the masses.

Up until the 1840’s, the American school system was mainly private, decentralized, and home schooling was common.

Americans were well educated and literacy rates were high. In 1902,
John D. Rockefeller created the General Education Board with the cost of $129 million.

The General Education Board and other Corporate Foundations including the Carnegie Foundation provided major funding for schools across the nation and was very influential in shaping the curriculum and format of the current school system. Predictably,
the board started to exert strong control on the policies of the State educational institutions based upon their funding and research grants, placing demands on standardizing courses and inventing a bureaucratic maze of conditions and educational reforms.

Those teachers, schools, Universities and researchers that took the funding and did what they were told were greatly rewarded and they quickly advanced to be placed in charge.

The resulting system of schooling creates the receptivity to mind control tactics that are used to obeying commands, but not rewarded for thinking critically.

This is just what the Controller’s had in mind as currently in 2020,
it is estimated that 34% of the population have basic literacy levels while half of U.S. adults can’t read a book written at the 8th-grade level.

This means that due to many factors such as an overload of stress, media literacy skillsets are very low.

Many adults are unable to discern, comprehend or synthesize the information they are reading,
and thus rely on the televised propaganda churned out by the Controllers mainstream media broadcasts of CIA owned news anchors. (Energetic Synthesis)
