Notes From Gordon ~ The True Cost of Higher Miseducation

It is fair to say that just about every American my age once attended public school.

That’s because home schooling didn’t come along until the 80s.

And for you wise guys out there I’m referring to the 1980s, not the 1880s.

I was there at the dawn of the homeschooling movement, when parents were arrested for aiding and abetting truancy.

Their children were missing from public school, ergo, the parents were guilty of helping their little ones become truants.

The cops would take the parents downtown and book them, while social services took the kids into custody until the parents were released.

I kid you not.

Some Americans today attend public schools named after our most famous criminals, like the Lyndon B. Johnson Elementary School in Indio, CA… or the Richard M. Nixon Elementary School in Hiawatha, Iowa.

Bouncing further along my road to becoming formally educated, I learned that we live in a free and open society, and that America was founded along these principles.

Hmmm.... so why did delegates to the convention that drafted the Constitution that long, sweaty summer in Philadelphia proceed from the very first day to bar the door, shutter the windows and swear an oath of lifetime silence among the attendees until the last one had died?

What did they have to hide?

Could it be that they had been granted ZERO authority by their respective colonial legislatures to create an entirely new form of government, from scratch?

And why did George Washington who presided over the convention—and the shoo-in for the presidency—take James Madison's handwritten notes on the proceedings back to his private residence at Mount Vernon and squirrel them away so no one could read them?

Can you spell federalist coup?

I attended government public school until shipped off in my high school years to what, arguably, was at that time the world's most prestigious preparatory school: Phillips Andover Academy in Andover, MA where I received a rigorous classical education in the 18th century style.

My parents shelled out big bucks to assure that their son became properly educated in the ways of the world and fully prepared—morally, philosophically, scientifically and even spiritually (the Bible was required reading at "P.A.")—before allowing me to emerge into adult society as a functioning, taxpaying member of the middle class.

In hindsight, this was a questionable investment since most of what I learned in the decades to follow either filled in yawning chasms of missing information, or entirely reversed the truths of what I had been taught.

Further attempts were made to expand my education at Boston University where I was enrolled in pre-med, but it wasn't working.

My physics professor had no answers to uncomfortable questions about the seemingly magical origins of the universe, and my history professor had no answers to uncomfortable questions about the origins of the 5,500-year old social experiment we call government (and why it hasn’t gone all that well so far).

So I did the only logical thing I could think to do.

I left B.U. and went on the road playing electric bass in dives and beer halls in an R&B band.

Many decades later as I look back at all that was taught to me, and in consideration of all the money my parents paid for my education, I have to ask myself whether they might be entitled to a refund?

I distinctly recall no mention at either "P.A." or "B.U." of the fact that our hoary, old Constitution requires under Article 1, Section 10 that the states use "...no thing except gold and silver in payment of debts."

So what are all these green, debt-based Federal Reserve Notes doing in circulation, and what's up with the creepy seeing-eye pyramid?

Nor was there any mention during my rigorous education of the power of “free energy” to free humankind from fossil fuels.

It was in the early 1950's that a young, British electrician named John Searl was playing around with rotating magnets and created a purely mechanical device that, when spun up on his mother's kitchen table, transitioned into a superconducting state, crackled, rose off the table and smashed straight through, never to be seen again.

Now known as the Searl Energy Generator, this was not a so-called "perpetual motion" machine.

The device was simply harvesting ambient electrons from a rare earth core, spinning and concentrating them progressively outwards into successive layers of various materials, picking them up on the outer edge using standard armatures, then releasing them back into the environment.

The analogy that comes to mind is of a large dam holding back water which is allowed to spill through sluice ways and spin electrical generators, before heading down river to evaporate into the atmosphere, condense, rain down and complete the cycle.

Nothing wasted and no laws of thermodynamics violated.

Searl learned to control his inadvertently antigravitic device enough to create saucer-shaped flying platforms that he named "levity disks."

He later learned to control their flight using ham radios and eventually sailed at least one of them all the way around the world, as it was passed off from one ham radio operator to another.

This entire saga was covered extensively by the local press and even the BBC.

His apparatus was then quickly confiscated by British intelligence, much like Tesla’s notes were taken from his hotel room after he died.

My point being that at least one confirmed technology exists (and there are no doubt countless others) to generate unlimited, free energy from whatever you want to call it—the atmosphere, the quantum vacuum, the information field, the ether—without drilling, scarring and fracking the earth to burn fossil fuels, without using nuclear reactors and without dicing eagles in giant windmills.

Why do these long ago breakthroughs remained totally ignored today by even the most prestigious educational institutions?

You could pay a king's ransom at the likes of Harvard, Yale, Princeton or MIT and still never learn any of this.

Wouldn't you think that over 60 years of ongoing technological breakthroughs that could offer even the poorest of nations an abundance of unlimited, free energy would motivate our priciest institutions of higher education to at least mention them?

Here's another good one.

Why has the hidden global cartel that financed the American Revolution, the War Between the States, the founding of the Federal Reserve, the creation of the income tax, WWI, WWII and the "War On Terror" never once been identified in the mainstream media?

Don't they pay those reporters enough?

Here's a real knee-slapper for you.

The federal government can easily run countless printing presses 24/7 and print all the money it needs for anything you can think of: the roads, the military, grandma's Social Security, etc.

So... why an income tax?

Why send scary people with guns to take your house, your farm, your pickup and your bank account for failure to settle up with the tax man when all Uncle Sam has to do is print the money that he needs?

That's a good question, wouldn't you agree?

Was this question broached during your tenure in institutionalized education?

I'm guessing not.

Goodness knows, I could go on and on.

These and countless more are the important issues that go to the very heart of our understanding of real history, without which it's impossible to navigate the modern era.

Yet without this knowledge and the perspective to put it all together, you could be left wondering what happened to your money, your nation, your health, even your peace of mind.

Unfortunately, not a word of "any of the above" is breathed in public school, nor taught in college for the largest of student loans.

It gets zero coverage on TV, it's almost never brought up at family gatherings and it certainly isn't mentioned from the pulpit where the IRS keeps a close eye on the clergy lest they cross the line and get their tax exemption yanked.

Separation of church and state, indeed.

What forces could be powerful enough to suppress this information, this efficiently, this persistently and this effectively for so long?

That's the single most interesting question of all.

I started asking questions like these as a young man and received the greatest graduation gift possible: a lifetime of intense curiosity about the world around me.

That same curiosity led me to understand the scientific basis for the creation of both wealth and health, and I continue to learn something new every day.

I’ll do my best to keep passing along these insights for as long as I am able.

Not that I’m planning to reach my “use by” date any time soon, but because the same forces that have been working hard all these years to manage public perception via carefully filtered access to information are now hard at work on managing the greatest information sharing technology since the invention of moveable type.

The Internet itself.
