HoweEnterprise.com It’s the first time the Victory Light has been lit for back-to-back weeks since September 2018. ***** We had our largest listening audience ever for a Howe football game against Honey Grove.

Thanks to everyone who tuned in. This is the 29th season of broadcasting football games for this here guy. We had a good listening audience for the Tom Bean game as well, but by the looks of the bleachers—most people made it to the game. It was one of the largest crowds at Bulldog Stadium in years. Among those in the audience were the broadcast crew for the Denison Yellow Jackets on KMKT 93.1 FM. Lynn Burkhead and Ed Meacham were off Friday due to Denison playing on Thursday.

Coach Lance Bryan made a call out to fans to come out and see what this new team is all about. It appeared to work. ***** What in the world was the Joe Biden speech trying to illuminate? The backdrop to the “Red Sermon” looked like either a Moloch or Nazi tribute. One thing is for sure, he made it apparent that he hates the MAGA people. Ironically, that stands for Make America Great Again. However, he said he’s on board with the “mainstream” Republicans who are happy to destroy the dollar and strip us of our freedoms.

The Howe Bulldogs (20) moved from a 22game losing streak to a 2game winning streak Friday night with a dominating 49-6 win over Tom Bean (1-1). The Bulldogs racked up 503 yards of total offense and allowing Tom Bean only 129. The Dogs’ defense allowed a staggering 464 yards per game a year ago and have improved that to 192 so far in 2022.

Howe quarterback Austin Haley became the first Howe player in history to rush, pass, and receive a touchdown in the same game. He also moved ahead of Chase Fountain with his three touchdown passes on the night which gives him a total of 37.

Haley now only trails Jay Skipworth who has 39 career touchdowns.

Memorial Park

Children of the area take turns being the first to play on the new equipment.

Guided by Howe Mayor Bill French, the City of Howe recently forked over $55,000 for a playground set installed at Memorial Park. French told the city council in July that the retail price on the park equipment is $96,000 plus the cost of installation which clocks in at an estimated $30,000. He said the equipment company called him and invited the city to consider purchasing the equipment for $50,000 but the city would be on the hook for the installation.

According to the mayor, he counteroffered with $55,000 for a complete setup with installation which was later accepted.

The project was full completed last week in time for the company to have a photo shoot with children playing for their trade magazine.

The city council approved the moving of $50,000 from the reserves and also approved a note with Independent Fi-

nancial for that amount so that the $50,000 will go back into the reserves and the note will be paid over a 2-year period.

French told the council in July that Howe will be the only city north of Dallas to have a playground set such as this.

“This was a demo model that they had.

This was a take-it-as-it-is, that’s why it’s so cheap,” said French. “It’s not used, but it is a demo item that saves us $70,000 in cost,” said French.

Two years ago, a fundraiser was held for improvements to Memorial Park in which $5,750 was raised with donations from the Howe Area Chamber of Commerce, Provider Business Partners, Amanda Garner, CPA, Atmos Energy, and Baker Air Conditioning & Heating. Those funds have been secured in the Howe Development Foundation account awaiting the use and will be used towards the completion of the upcoming project.

FBC Howe places 1904 church bell on campus grounds

Several years ago, a Memorial Team was created at First Baptist Church of Howe to create a memorial location on the church campus grounds. The members of the committee were JoAnne Dickey, Nelda Allison, Norma White, and Donna Pelkey. This group created an idea to take memorial offerings to develop a place on the property where anyone could take time to pray, remember loved ones, and glorify God. Somewhere during the journey, it was mentioned that the church bell should be included in the project. This created the “Memory Bell Project.”

The original church bell for the First Baptist Church dates back to 1904 at the first location at the southwest corner of Denny Street and Davis Street.

The bell called Howe to worship for 50 years before being moved directly across Denny Street in 1955 to the newly constructed red brick church which is currently the Fellowship Hall.

When FBC Howe constructed a new sanctuary in the 1970s, the bell was left in the Fellowship Hall. In 2013, a metal roof was placed on the entire property which prompted the removal of the bell which has been in storage since.

Through the years, those with fond memories of the church bell wished it could be presented in some fashion. In 2013, the church voted to place the bell with the sign in the area of the yard between the Fellowship Hall and the Auditorium. The church electronic marquee sign was placed on the corner of the church property near Denny Street for visibility of drivers and passengers on Highway 5. But the bell remained in storage.

Taking up the mantle of the 2013 church vote, the Memory Bell team completed the project last week by placing it in the yard as originally voted.

The group, led by Art Rayburn, said inflation and other outside interference caused the team to make adjustments to the original blueprints, but with the help of Phillip Farris, the new and updated design was much more cost effective while still remaining beautiful to the original idea.

The team held true to the original concept of a metal bell housing that looks more modern, but blends in the traditions of the past. The metal bell housing sits on a concrete hexagon shaped pad with memorial bricks leading to the center. This is in keeping with the original vote in 2013.

There will also be a Memory Bell plaque attached to an Austin stone plaque holder. The plaque will read: Memory Bell 1905 Remembering Our Christian Heritage and Those Who Have Gone Before Us. The bell was recently sandblasted and sealed to be able to be withstand the weather. Two benches will be placed on either side of the bell housing that allows those to stay and pray. New trees and plants will also turn the area into a beautiful place of prayer.

Each memorial brick can be purchased by a church member and be engraved with either in memory or in honor of a loved one.

game and all classifications. Sophomore kicker Jonathan Garcia remains perfect on the season in extra points as he booted seven Friday night. Sophomore Beau Stephens racked up 13 tackles to lead Howe. Junior Mahlon Walker recorded two sacks and two tackles for loss. Junior Kolin Murphy had his first interception and senior Matt Hayes recovered a fumble.

Offensively, senior Antwone Rattler led Howe in rushing with 86 yards on 12 carries and two touchdowns. Haley, who is completing 71% of his passes thus far in 2022, at one point had completed nine straight before throwing an incomplete pass. He finished the night 15-of-18 for 306.

Senior Ryan Hough showed his explosiveness as he led Howe with five catches and 136 yards and a touchdown. Junior Cooper Jones added four catches for 94 yards and a touchdown.

Sophomore Braden Ulmer caught the first Haley touchdown and he finished with three catches for 43 yards.

Howe raced out to a quick lead and kept the dog paw on the throat throughout the game. On the fifth play of the game, Haley connected on a short pass to Ulmer who punished a defender on his way to a 10-yard score to give Howe an early 7-0 lead.

Tom Bean’s first drive stalled on third down when Tom Cat running back Gavin Hamilton fell into the arms of

Walker on third down forcing a punt.

Haley and Jones only needed one play to get in the endzone on a 71-yard scoring strike where Jones was all alone on the Howe side. The PAT by Garcia made it 14-0 with 7:26 left in the first quarter.

Tom Bean’s next possession went backwards as Walker picked up both of his sacks on the drive and the Tom Cats were forced to punt out of their own endzone. Jones ran the punt back inside the 10, but a penalty drove it back to the Tom Bean 22 yard line.

From there, it took five plays for Howe to reach the endzone when Rattler scored from the 1-yard line. Howe led 21-0 with 3:06 remaining in the first quarter.

Tom Bean started moving the football near midfield on their next drive, but Hayes forced a Hamilton fumble and Howe was able to score again one play later when Haley hit Hough for 54 yards. Howe led 28-0 with 1:55 remaining in the first quarter.

Tom Cat quarterback Branson Ashlock was unable to connect with receiver DJ Pearson on a home run throw and Tom Bean was forced to punt it back to Howe. Penalties began to rack up on the next drive, but after a Haley to Hough quick strike of 28 yards and an electrifying 25-yard run

by Rattler, Howe found themselves in the endzone again when Haley pulled the ball out of the gut of Rattler and went the 15 yards needed for the score.

(Continued from page 4)

Howe led 35-0 with 7:29 left in the second quarter.

Tom Bean put together their scoring drive on the next possession as they marched 12 plays and 70 yards before Hamilton scored from the two yard line. The point after was no good and the score was 35-6 with 1:14 left before half. Howe ran out of time on their next possession and the first half ended.

Tom Bean’s first possession of the second half ended with a great defensive play by sophomore Triston Williams who deflected the ball in the air where Murphy intercepted it. That set up Howe’s next drive that took eight plays, 66 yards and ended on a Jones to Haley pass out of the “Wild Dog” package for a 3-yard score. That gave Howe a 42-6 lead with 7:03 left in the third.

Tom Bean was forced to punt again thanks to a stingy defense led by Ste-

phens. Howe’s next possession traveled into the fourth quarter as the Dogs kept in the ground for the most part.

Big runs by senior Carson Daniels, Jones, and Ulmer capped off a 9-play drive that finished with a 7-yard score

by Rattler. That finished out the scoring at 49-6 with 10:26 left in the game.

Howe’s 49-6 win was the most lopsided win for Howe since the Dogs beat Tom Bean 77-0 in 2015 and set a school record for points in a game.

Howe moves to 2-0 for the first time since 2018 when they eventually started 3. Howe Head Coach Lance Bryan starts his Bulldogs career at 2-0. Other Dogs head coaches to do so are Jehling (3-0 in 2018), Corey Crane (40 in 2010), Davey DuBose (3-0 in 1996), Jim Fryar (2-0 in 1985), George Matlock (3-0 in 1948), Jack Osborn (8 -0 in 1946), John B. Lair (8-0 in 1945), Self-coached (2-0 in 1942), H.A. McDonald (4-0 in 1941), Wesley Cox (9-0 in 1940), L.B. Morris (2-0 in 1936).

Howe will host Commerce Friday night at Bulldog Stadium for a 7:30 kick. The Tiger are 0-2 after a 3231 loss to Leonard Friday.

The game will be aired live at HoweEnterprise.com and on YouTube at Studio42.

Texas History Minute

Students begin a new school year with hopes and dreams of better lives. Teachers and administrators similarly have high hopes for their stuKen Bridges dents, trying to create classrooms and schools of the highest quality where these dreams can be nurtured and minds developed, as difficult as this sometimes is given the limits of budgets. Southern Methodist University in Dallas was created with such hopes but also with many obstacles. In the end, SMU was the result of a fight to relocate another college and the fate of a Dallas medical school that culminated in a world-class university.

Southwestern University in Georgetown, just north of Austin, had been founded by the Methodist Church in 1840. As Texas grew, Methodist leaders at the turn of the century questioned if Georgetown was the best location. To many in North Texas, it only seemed reasonable that the college be relocated to Dallas or Fort Worth, given their large population of Methodists and growing business communities.

While some communities were hesitant to embrace colleges and universities in their communities, worried about rowdy students or radical ideas, Dallas leaders saw an opportunity.

They quickly realized that a top-rate university would become an important economic engine for the city, attracting students from far and wide and producing the skilled thinkers that businesses increasingly needed to operate.

Southwestern University ultimately stayed in Georgetown, but Dallas was able to secure the new university, in part from help from Southwestern. In 1903, Southwestern had opened a medical school and school of pharmacy in downtown Dallas. The school was small and a drain on resources.

Through the efforts of the school’s dean, Dr. John McReynolds, Southwestern handed ownership over to the new university to be established in Dallas.

SMU’s charter was signed in April 1911. Dr. Robert S. Hyer was hired by trustees to serve as the first president.

The medical and pharmacy schools were the only programs offered. Students paid tuition of $100 per year while SMU trustees poured in $25,000 trying to update the school’s facilities.

While it was a modest success, the costs made it difficult to expand into a full university.

Hiram Boaz was hired as vicepresident and fundraiser in 1913. Boaz, a Methodist minister and later a bishop in the church, had many connections needed to be able to secure

9

August 29, 2022

the donations the university needed.

Hyer meanwhile hired 37 professors and started an aggressive recruitment campaign. Dozens of acres were secured in North Dallas and tens of thousands of dollars were spent on the ornate Dallas Hall, the first permanent building on the new site.

In the summer of 1915, SMU was faced with a difficult choice. The university had the money to either operate the medical school or the new university. Trustees made the decision to suspend the medical school in favor of the new campus. By the fall of 1915, SMU opened in North Dallas. Some 456 students enrolled in the college’s first classes. Women were also admitted as students in a time when many colleges still refused to admit women.

A basic program of the liberal arts and sciences were offered as well as graduate programs and a school of divinity.

Two buildings were included on the campus, which included a fullyfunctioning library, with Hyer and trustees planning even more construction as time progressed.

A campus community quickly coalesced at the new location. The Daily Campus, the student newspaper, began publication that fall. At the university’s first graduation ceremony in June 1916, twenty-four bachelors degrees and seven masters degrees were granted. The first years were clearly a success. Anxious to expand the offerings of the university and acquire the talent needed to help manage the rapidly growing businesses in Dallas, the local business community pushed SMU to open a business school, which opened in 1920.

Hyer retired in 1920 but stayed with the university as a physics professor until his death in 1929. Boaz stepped into the position of president, for two years. Dr. Charles Selecman then became the university’s third president in 1923. The Methodist minister oversaw a massive building project and expansion of the university as it steadily matured.

Under Selecman’s tenure, SMU added nine more building to its campus. The SMU School of Law was opened in 1925. The university expanded even further with the opening of the engineering school that year. In 1927, the ornate Highland Park Methodist Church was completed on campus.

While the university and the nation struggled through the Great Depression in the 1930s, Selecman was able to keep enrollment and funding strong.

The college continued to grow, weathering war, controversy, and celebrating successes along the way. It grew over the intervening years to become one of the most respected universities in Texas. SMU today boasts more than 11,000 students pursuing dozens of majors.

City of Howe SECONDS COUNT IN AN EMERGENCY! That's why the City of Howe has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child or evacuation notices). The system is capable of dialing 60,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers a pre-recorded message describing the situations to a live person or an answering machine in the affected area possibly including instructions requiring action on the part of the recipient.

Once the situation is remedied, another call will be placed to the area signaling that the issue has been addressed and that normal activities can be resumed.

The following information is required to add a telephone number into the "CodeRED" database: first and last name; address (physical address, no P.O. boxes); city; state; Zip Code; and primary phone number. The system works with cellular phones but requires a valid street address. When entering information, please fill out all of the screens because the newest data entered will replace the old data.

Howe JV wins

August 29, 2022

Howe JV running back Knox Bounds scores against Tom Bean last Thursday. Photo by Heather Rodgers.

Howe's JV football team took an early lead and never trailed Thursday night in Tom Bean and finished with a 26-8 win. The Howe offense was led by the two running backs; Knox Bounds and Parker Daniels. Bounds eclipsed 100 yards rushing and was able to find the endzone twice, once on a 45-yard run.

Daniels runs between the tackles were vital on converting several third downs. Quarterback Devon Wallace used his legs for a rushing touchdown on a read option and Preston Reeves scored from 50 yards on a quarterback sweep in the fourth quarter.

Defensively, the Bulldogs were led by Gage Carr who totaled eight tackles and forced a fumble. The Bulldog defense pitched a shutout for three quarters before Tom Bean was able to string together a successful drive. The defensive line led by Dillon Patterson, Nathan Thorpe, and Michael Weimer controlled the line of scrimmage the entire game resulting in numerous tackles for loss.

The JV moves to 1-1 on the season after losing to Honey Grove in week 1, 26-6.

Living with children

Q: Ever since toddlerhood, we have had significant behavior problems with our 6-year-old son— defiance and genJohn Rosemond eral disrespect, mostly. We have tried various disciplinary approaches with little to no positive results. The latest problem involves the fact that I homeschool him. Although he was not a problem in private school kindergarten last year— obedient, responsible, achieving—he is not the least bit motivated to work under my direction. The curriculum is on his level and the materials come highly recommended by other homeschooling moms. Nonetheless, he seems uninterested and complains constantly that the work is too hard, which it definitely isn’t. Today, for example, because of complaining, purposefully not following directions, and generally goofing off, he ended up in his room by 10 AM for the remainder of the day with no screen time for the rest of the week. As I write this, he’s in his room screaming that I’m unfair. I have completely run out of ideas.

Help!

A: First, if your little rebel was not a problem in kindergarten last school year, then I recommend that you put him back in “regular” school.

Mind you, I applaud your attempt at homeschooling. I am an advocate, generally speaking, but I recommend against homeschooling when the teaching parent is experiencing significant discipline problems with the child in question.

One can only homeschool effectively if major discipline problems have been resolved. Your authority as your son’s teacher depends on his acceptance of your authority as his parent, which is obviously not the case. Another way of saying the same thing: Discipline problems at home are going to carry over into homeschool. That’s an example of what I call “parenting physics.”

Under the circumstances, and especially given that your son had no problems in kindergarten (which means he recognizes and accepts the authority of other adults), I have to believe that a standard group setting is the best match for him. Let’s face it, homeschooling is not “one size fits all.” Nor is any other educational option, for that matter.

If you decide that you’re going to push ahead with homeschooling, I make two suggestions: first, to get control of the discipline problems at home, read my bestselling book The WellBehaved Child; second, that you find and join a local homeschool cooperative.

The likelihood is—and his experience in kindergarten bolsters my view— your son is going to be far more cooperative with other mothers than he is with you.

Words can be forgiven but not forgotten We will never rise above or go beyond what we believe and what we speak.

It’s a spiritual revelation to comprehend that words have power and Dr. Billy Holland where there is privilege there is also responsibility. I realize that we have much to pray about, but this request is crucial if we are to live a holy life of integrity and respect. “Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips” Psalm 141:3. Since what we say is what we think, it would be wise to monitor what we listen to and what we speak. Communication not only shapes our views while influencing our thoughts and behavior, but words also expose who we really are as we can learn a great deal about a person when we hear them talk. The word fire produces a variety of emotional responses when used in different environments. For example, pleading for fire when we are rubbing two sticks together is a positive response especially when we are camping out in the cold weather and are hungry. However, screaming the word fire while in a crowded theater brings a negative reaction of fear and panic. As James chapter three points out, an evil tongue may be small but it can destroy the world.

Words can accomplish God’s intentions and carry us to amazing places, but, unfortunately, they can also lead us into situations we wish we had never known. As children, many of us quoted this little rhyme, “Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will never hurt us” which was a courageous stand as we were being threatened or made fun of, but we realized after we grew up that in most cases, words were actually more emotionally painful than if we had been physically assaulted. There’s a good chance that you remember when someone said something that caused you to feel rejection and pierced your soul. Maybe negative words from a parent, teacher, coach, a friend, a bully from school, or the neighborhood, and unfortunately these painful wounds will always be remembered. Thankfully, some individuals change over the years as they recall the bad things they have said and are convicted to

apologize and make things right as they realize that foolish people say foolish things.

On the other side of the two-edged sword of words, it’s astounding to understand they also have the power to bring inspiration, encouragement, and healing. In Proverbs 16:24, the Holy Spirit relayed to king Solomon that highly sensitive people are discreet and careful to use good judgment with their speech while the uncaring do not plan or consider what they say. We know this is true because we have been comforted by God's promises of hope and from those who deeply care about us. In the ancient world, honey was the sweetest substance available, and Solomon was intentional with his imagery as he penned these words, “Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” We have the opportunity to filter our speech through the Holy Spirit, but it’s our choice to apply spiritual principles or ignore them. The person who is wise and desires to walk in the awareness of God’s presence will learn to have control over their carnal nature. Our emotions are only interested in pleasing our flesh, but God’s will is about His desires and how He wants us to live.

One command associated with obedience to God is to develop spiritual sensitivity and self-control which are included in the fruits of the Spirit. As a result of choosing words wisely, our communication can become an important relay of God’s message. The Lord wants His people to reveal His character, and listening to individuals who follow His voice motivates us to embrace this beautiful way of connecting with others. Those who disregard spiritual discernment and do not care what they say are quite familiar with the flavor of their foot. “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen” Ephesians 4:29. Let us consider that what is in the well will come up in the bucket. In this light, we realize that negative and destructive words are not the tongue’s fault as it is only a servant to the mind and spirit.

Six Issues That Are Agenda 21

By Tom DeWeese Activist Post May 11, 2016

EDITOR’S NOTE—This section is reserved as an editorial and may not necessarily reflect the policy of this publication.

Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden held rallies in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania last week. The results do not equal what the 2020 election told us happened.

Do you remember when President Trump won Pennsylvania by 795,000 votes in a landslide and then Democrats locked the doors on the counting rooms and manufactured a million votes in five days to steal the election? ***** Climate change is the most evil dirty trick ever played on the human race. ***** Brian Cates—They spent almost two full decades building a corrupt US election system preparing for the day most citizens would become 'remote voters' and send their ballots in by mail or digitally using machines and electronic devices. That was always their goal - to get away from Election Day in-person voting with paper ballots.

They spent hundreds of billions of their dollars and ours - setting this system up in hundred and hundreds of US counties.

And we're going to prove early on in the development of these Election Management Systems, Platforms and Apps that our own political class in DC and in many states knew the Chinese Communist Party was all up inside this massive project, writing the code, creating the apps and platforms, setting up the digital highway for the election data to travel on.

They spent all that time and all that money setting up their EMCCS. [That's 'Election Management Cheat & Control Sys(Continued on page 16)

how it works and how the toe bone gets connected to the ankle bone ending up with the Frankenstein monster. Here are six issues that are rarely connected to Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development (especially when we are assured that Agenda 21 has nothing to do with local, state or federal government policy). However, these seemingly unrelated policies, once implemented, help enforce the stated Agenda 21 goal of “reorganizing human society.”

Every day, in meetings at all levels of government, representatives of NonGovernmental Organizations (NGOs), planning groups, and federal agents surround elected representatives and insist that their policies have nothing to do with international agendas. They regularly publish reports and rail against anyone even mentioning the names Agenda 21 or the new Agenda 2030. “No, no, no,” they insist. “Those people are just crazy conspiracy the- Issue 1: Global Warming/ orists.

Issue 3: The destruction of the free market system.

We have heard statement after statement from the UN; from members of Congress; the news media; and from Hollywood, all deriding the free market system as evil, corrupt and a tool of the rich to hold down the poor. So now, after deciding that the poor are expendable for the sake of stopping overpopulation, suddenly the planners are worried about them – if it leads to their ability to raid our bank accounts.

So are they really worried about protecting the environment – or are they actually honoring the tactics of Jesse James?

Redistribution of wealth is behind every policy that comes out of the UN, and now the Obama Administration as well.

The EPA is the attack dog to shut down entire industries like coal. It has become very difficult to operate a manufacturing business in the US, and nearly impossible to start a new one. Environmental protection is always the excuse, even when Obama’s own State Department said the Keystone Pipeline was not an environmental threat. A couple of years ago, radical greens, wielding torches, demonstrated outside the home of the head of the Keystone pipeline company. Visions of the terror of the Dark Agenda?

At the UN’s Rio + 20 Summit held in 2012, the idea of “Zero Economic Growth” was advocated – just to keep things fair.

It was stated that even the building of new roads upsets the status quo and disrupts a well ordered society. Such idiotic ideas are the driving force behind Sustainable De(Continued on page 16)

velopment. Again, images of the Dark Ages come to mind.

Yet, consider “local” planning programs that cut off access roads, and again, discourage cars.

What about the EPA’s war on industry. Pretty hard to have economic growth without industry.

The timber industry is killed and communities die. Dams are torn down and farmers disappear.

Zero Economic Growth in the making. Just local?

which provides less than 3% of our energy needs.

Why? What is the motivation to put such shackles on the US economic engine? The excuse is that energy use drives up CO2 emissions and accelerates global warming – the excuse necessary to “harmonize” the US into the socialist, Sustainable global noose.

Many current state and local policies now are moving to increase taxes at the gas pump to keep energy costs high. In addition, Obama just issued an Executive Order to ban any off shore drilling Again, not my words, let of oil.

To the average person the drive to stop any ability to obtain cheap energy makes no sense. People are hurting economically.

Jobs are lost. Energy costs are skyrocketing.

Any attempt to drill oil, fracking of shale gas, and mining coal are all vigorously blocked by government and green policy.

Yet the government spends billions of dollars on “alternative energy” such as wind and solar,

“The prospect of cheap fusion energy is the worst thing that could happen to the planet.” Jeremy Rifkin (Greenhouse Crisis Foundation).

Issue 5: Common Core.

Many people see the reorganization of the public school issue as separate from Agenda 21. It’s not.

Those who are promoting what they call the Agenda for the 21st Century understand that it is

going to be a long drawn out process. To “reform” a nation created on the ideals of limited government, free enterprise and individual liberty into one that unquestioningly accepts government top down control will take time and a determined effort. There’s no room in a Sustainablist society for those who believe that we were born with our rights and that government’s job is to protect those rights. The sustainable system says government will grant us our rights.

To enforce such a radical turn around of our society requires that the children be indoctrinated to accept it. The effort started in earnest in the 1990s under the Clinton Administration through the massive growth of the Department of Education in such programs as Goals 2000, School To Work and Workforce Development Boards.

The original American education system effectively provided an overall academic education from which students could choose their own futures.

No longer. Today, the new curriculum has morphed into what is called Common Core. It’s a State run central curriculum that revamps schools into little more than job training and indoctrination centers.

Because, you see, today’s public education system is also designed to strip the children of their attitudes, values and beliefs that parents may have instilled, and indoctrinate them into accepting global values – global citizenship and a global economy based on the sustainable agenda. Little of American civics and history are taught in today’s classroom. But text books contain whole chapters on the Five Pillars of Islam, while ignoring the 10 Commandments of Christianity.

The children are fed an unending diet of the evils of capitalism; the selfishness of individualism, and the social justice of redistribution of wealth.

It punishes students for possessing individuality and is designed to eliminate such natural human tendencies. That is the “common” in Common Core. Common values, common goals, common future. Don’t rock the boat of a well-ordered

society.

Common Core is the nationally dictated curriculum necessary for the acceptance and implementation of Agenda 21.

Of course, we still elect local school boards pretending they have some say over the curriculum.

It makes us all feel safer for our children. How, then do we explain the surge of Bernie Sanders and the Tsunami of Socialism? Well, today nearly every adult up to the age of 40 has gone thought this indoctrination, trained to accept a future chosen for them by someone else.

The education system was fully outlined in a very detailed letter to Hillary Clinton from Marc Tucker of the National Center on Education and the Economy in November, 1992, immediately after Bill. Clinton was elected President.

Said Tucker: “First, a vision of the kind of national – not federal – human resources development system the nation could have. This is interwoven with a new approach to governing that should inform that vision. What is essential is that we create a seamless web of opportunities to develop one’s skills that literally extends from cradle to grave and is the same system for everyone…” coordinated by “a system of labor market boards at the local, state, and federal levels” where curriculum and “job matching” will be handled by counselors “accessing the integrated computer-based program.”

to each body in its group in its native habitat. Sustainable medicine experts do not refer to citizens in sovereign nations, but to “humans” in their “settlements.” Sustainable medicine is the pivot around which all other Sustainable Development revolves. Principle #1 of the Rio Declaration that introduced Agenda 21 is that all humans must live in harmony with nature. The translation means rationing healthcare, low technology for health care treatment and emphasis on medical care not cure.

And that, of course, will lead to population reduction, as called for in Agenda 21.

These are the issues that are not usually discussed or connected to Agenda 21. Yet they are being implemented, step by step, by local planners in policies that are approved by befuddled elected representatives. It’s all driven through pressure from private NGO groups and funded by federal grants. That’s how it’s done, constantly driven a little bit with each innocent sounding

idea. Then, without warning, Frankenstein rises from behind the smokescreen, toe bones and anklebones fully operational.

Americans must understand and connect these dots to everyday issues so they can clearly see the root and long-term goals of these policies that are affecting our personal lives. Elected representatives at every level of government must come to understand that legislative actions have consequences far beyond their understanding.

Agenda 21 is the “common core” and it has already invaded every level of our society.

Our battle cry must be to stop this monster or watch freedom perish.

Tom DeWeese, president of the American Policy Center, is one of the nation’s leading experts on Agenda 21 and its assault on property rights and personal freedom.

He is author of the book “Now Tell Me I was Wrong” and editor of the monthly newsletter The DeWeese Report. For more information visit www.americanpolicy.org

Issue 6: Healthcare.

How is healthcare connected to Agenda 21?

Simply Google “Sustainable Medicine” and you will find more than 5,850,000 English language references to the subject. Read through the ideas expressed there and you will find nearly every provision of Obamacare.

An expert on Sustainable Medicine, the late Dr. Madeleine Cosman, put it this way: “Sustainable Medicine + Sustainable Development = Duty to Die.” Sustainable medicine makes decisions through visioning councils that determine what shall be done or not done
