MINDLESS: HOW THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IS INDOCTRINATING CHILDREN AND DESTROYING OUR CIVILISATION

This book Mindless: How the Education System is Indoctrinating Children and Destroying Our Civilisation by d’Abrera, Bella (Wyborn Press, 2026) has 270 pages devoted to showing how the rot has set into Western education (looking primarily at Australia, America and England), d’Abrera asks, ‘What is to be done?’ She looks at how America is leading the way here, with Australia and the UK lagging well behind.

She notes how Washington, under Trump, “turned off the money tap”. For example, it “began freezing billions of dollars in federal research grants in response to what it described as ‘institutional antisemitism’ and entrenched ideological bias on campus.” (p. 273)

She offers various examples of this, and then writes: Whatever one thinks of Trump, the freeze has exposed a reality. Supposedly, sovereign institutions have long been propped up by federal support, and Washington can hold them to account if it chooses…

Ultimately, it appears that ‘what is to be done?’ cannot be left to the universities themselves. The solution, therefore, lies outside the system. And in this respect, America is leading the way. There, individuals with dedication, energy, and awareness of how precarious things have become, are establishing new universities. Their aim is simple: to restore the university to its true purpose and ensure that they are not beholden to the state. (pp. 274-275)

Hillsdale College in Michigan is one such example of this, as is the University of Austin in Texas. Things are tougher in this regard in England, but Australia has had some success in creating new educational institutions, including Campion College in Sydney, Alphacrucis University College in Melbourne, and St John Henry Newman College in Queensland.

And the corruption in schools, and not just in higher education, can also be challenged. Thus, the rise and rise of things like homeschooling, private schooling, Christian education, charter schools, and so on. School choice, as in the voucher system, is an important way forward.

She says this about the situation in America: Down in Texas and Arizona, school choice legislation has expanded dramatically, making it possible for parents to send their children to charter or private schools with state-backed vouchers. Vouchers are essentially public grant money which gives families the genuine freedom to decide where their children are educated, and to take them out of the ideologically captured public system.

Vouchers don’t just give parents freedom to choose, they open up an immense range of choices. Parents can send their children to one of seventy-five Chesterton schools, whose curriculum is everything that today’s state system is not. Children are immersed in Homer, Dante and Shakespeare. Where government schools strip away the arts, Chesterton insists every child must paint, sing, and perform. There is no climate change anxiety, no gender confusion, and no racial tensions. (pp. 280-281)

She goes on to discuss the importance of parents in schooling: To reclaim education, they must first reclaim their role as parents. It is mothers and fathers who bring children into the world, who give them their moral and spiritual formation, not the state. They must start to recognise the ideological dangers that the system is posing to their offspring and become far less trusting. It is time for parents to stop outsourcing authority and for the family, that building block of society, to reclaim the child. This means rejecting the Rousseau-inspired deception that only experts can raise children, which has permeated Western culture, and which has to some extent, given parents licence to abnegate responsibility. (p. 283)

d’Abrera closes her book this way: Where we go from here will decide whether the Western mind survives. If children continued to be subjected to mass conditioning while being denied the chance to flourish in truth, beauty, reason, and reality, then Western Civilisation itself will not endure. The closing of the Western mind is not merely an educational crisis, but a civilisational one. We are teetering on the edge, but it is not too late. Our survival won’t depend on the rising generation now rebelling against the system, whose minds remain open enough to chart a course out of the ideological doldrums into which we have drifted. (p. 285)

It is wonderful to see efforts to turn our world back to God however God’s Word declares that we are already in the end times prior to Jesus return to restore righteousness. Sadly, we know that God allows Satan to do His utmost with the Antichrist and the False Prophet having 3 1/2 years to rule this world. However, during this time God pours out His wrath upon the Earth with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. We are called to persevere and not deny His Word during this time but to fulfill all that He has called us to do.

PROPHESIED END TIMES EVENTS ESCALATING

Over the past 20 years, beginning with Hurricane Katrina, the United States has seen its 10 most costly natural disasters. Hurricane Helene could top them all at an estimated $200–$250 billion in damages. The fires currently ravaging California might add to this grim record, with total costs yet unknown. That doesn’t count the irreplaceable loss of human life. Take a look at Ray Comfort’s video below on what could put these fires out.

Much of the crisis in Los Angeles stems from poor policy decisions, including environmental regulations that diverted 95% of crucial rainwater to the ocean instead of reservoirs. The Los Angeles Fire Department’s (LAFD) Strategic Plan for 2023-2026, “enhance[ing] community resilience, disaster recovery capabilities, and environmental sustainability”, ranked seventh out of seven prioritiesdead last. Much higher on the list was promoting a “progressive work environment” (second) and committing to “embrace[] diversity, equity, and inclusion” (third). These priorities reflect the goal of LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley, touted as “the first female and LGBTQ Fire Chief in the LAFD.

Turning away from God and His values results in chaos and, eventually, God’s judgement. When truth is rejected, justice suffers, and the consequences, though not always immediate, can be devastating.

Jesus actually warned of days like these. In Luke 21, when His disciples asked about the signs of the end times, He said, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences… and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.” He then cautioned that believers would face persecution and be brought before leaders for His name’s sake, calling it an opportunity to bear witness.

So, how do we prepare for these unsettling times? Jesus offers a clear answer later in Luke 21, verse 36: “But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things… and to stand before the Son of Man.”

By escaping, He does not mean running away, but standing firm, with confidence and compassion because you’re watching and praying, not hiding and complaining. Hard times can also become times of opportunity. When we remain alert and prayerful, we can respond in faith and compassion instead of fear. For those who are prepared, adversity can forge strength and testimony. Instead of giving in to panic, we are to rely on prayer, leaning on the eternal God, creator and sustainer of all things.

THE LEADERS BEING ELECTED INTO HIGH OFFICE IN THE USA

All of America’s financial problems have been solved by the economic mastermind, Jamaal Bowman. We simply have to create the money out of thin air and give it to people according to the wishes of politicians. Jamal Bowman is a congressman representing constituents in New York City.

His latest crusade is to demand that descendants of former slaves receive, “at a minimum”, a whopping $14 trillion worth of reparations. Bear in mind that $14 trillion is more than half the size of the entire US economy, more than three times federal tax revenue. It’s an absurd amount of money… raising an obvious question: where in the world does he think this money will come from considering the national debt is already $34 trillion?

“Where did the money come from,” Bowman asked, “when Covid was destroying us?” His answer? We spent it into existence.”

Don’t worry, Bowman says, the MINIMUM $14 trillion he’s proposing doesn’t have to be paid all at once. It could be paid over 5 to 10 years.

Can you believe 133,567 voters in the greater New York City area saw fit to elect Jamaal in a landslide victory? History indicates that bad economic times and financial crises tend to give fanatical socialists the opportunity to win elections. They promise the world– free money for everyone, with no consequences and plenty of voters are gullible enough to believe the lies.

Thank goodness Jesus is returning soon to restore righteousness on this Earth with his millennial reign.

Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also, I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.” Revelation 20:4-6

WHERE IS ALL THIS INSANITY HEADED?

This article in Sovereign Man by the Founder is worth reading, for me, it just confirms the Biblical end-times prophecy of a one-world government will be fulfilled.

In a world full of unimaginable absurdity, we spend a lot of time thinking about the future… and where all of this insanity leads.

December 1, 2028: United Nations COP33 Climate Conference Urges Americans to Stop Eating

As world leaders gather for the 33rd COP Climate Summit, the theme of this year’s event is “Just Stop Eating”.

Farming, especially the production of meat animals, is contributing to the warming of the globe at an unprecedented rate,” said Secretary-General of the United Nations Justin Trudeau as he opened the conference. “And to tackle the root cause, we have to tackle demand— that is, people eating food.

This is a matter of public health. And as we learned from successfully combating Covid-19 with lockdowns and other restrictions, public health issues need the heavy hand of government to be solved.”

Anything based on science can be justified as a public health mandate,” Trudeau said. “The scientific health benefits of fasting and calorie restriction are clear. And therefore these could, and should, be mandated on the American public.”

Trudeau also said that they are working with the Pope to get Catholics back to fasting from meat on Fridays and Lent but also at the next COP33 Climate Conference, we will host spiritual guru Charlotte Tan who promotes the practice of sun gazing to replace meals. “When you commune with nature, you realize the abundance around you. Gazing at the setting or rising sun can provide enough nutrients to your body to replace about half of your calories.”

Tan says that her “Nature’s Bounty” walks have also been popular among spiritually in-touch Americans. “What we do is take a quick walk around a yard or a city block and find all the unused food resources just there for the taking. By eating edible weeds like dandelion or chickweed, people can save money, which gives them more time for meditation and activism.” “But we don’t stop there,” Charlotte Tan continued, “Crickets, grubs, maggots— these might seem disgusting at first glance. But enlightened people realize these are just parts of nature. They are wholesome, fulfilling, and rich in high-calorie lean protein. And best of all, they don’t add to a human’s carbon footprint. In fact, by eating them, we reduce it.” Tan said that scorpions were especially popular food last year at her tent at Burning Man.

“In the past, we have focused on data and logic to try to convince people to eat bugs,” Secretary-General Trudeau said before the conference’s first night meal of filet mignon. “This approach tackles the emotional side. Tapping into the spiritual awakening happening around the world is a great way to advance our collective mission.” “We’re in this together,” he added, chewing his steak.

THIS RULING CLASS IS TOTALLY INCOMPETENT

The ruling class had its big climate summit in Egypt called COP27; they flew in on their private jets and ate expensive steak, while their ideas for the rest of us include travel restrictions, taxes on cow farts, and eating bugs and weeds. You just can’t make up this level of incompetence and hypocrisy.

Hosting more than 100 Heads of State and Governments, the 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27), took place in the Egyptian coastal city of Sharm el-Sheikh from 6 to 20 November. It concluded with a historic decision to establish and operationalize a loss and damage fund.

Momentum towards climate regulation is only picking up speed. And it doesn’t look like there’s anything on the horizon to stop it.

It would at least be somewhat digestible if their ideas were actually sensible. But instead, their ‘solutions’ are borderline insane.

They spent an entire day at COP27 talking about gender identity as if that has something to do with the climate. They obsessed over incredibly inefficient sources of energy (like corn-based ethanol, which has soundly been proven to be one of the WORST and most INEFFICIENT forms of energy). But was there any discussion at COP27 about nuclear power? None.

Just look at this statistic: matching the energy value of just two months’ worth of natural gas that Europe consumes would require building $40 trillion worth of batteries. Something that would take all the world’s battery factories a combined 400 years to produce! Despite this reality, politicians are smothering the fossil fuel industry and spending absurd amounts of cash on “green energy.”

And that makes it really difficult to take these people seriously. They reject good ideas. And they keep coming up with bad ideas… which ultimately means less efficiency, more taxes, and more regulations.

It’s only a matter of time, for example, before many developed countries require airline passengers to buy carbon offsets when they travel… which will eventually be built into ticket prices. And we could easily see carbon taxes on gasoline, heating, and electricity.

Fortunately, Christians know that we are in the prophesied “end times” and that Jesus Christ’s return is not too far in the future. God’s Word tells us how this insanity ends, and whilst we endure increasing persecution/tribulation and in fact, part of the time the Antichrist dominates world events, we know that the Holy Spirit dwells in us and that we will be able to endure all that Satan throws at us, and that our efforts during this time of tribulation will bring glory to God and bear good fruit. Note how in control God is as these events unfold. God sends a strong delusion to those that reject the truth about God and His Son.

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him,.. Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness (Antichrist) is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God… The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.2 Thessalonians 1, 3-4, 9-12

HOPE THE LEGISLATORS LEARN FROM CHLOE COLE’S STORY

Detransitioned Teen Who Underwent Double Mastectomy, Took ‘Experimental’ Hormones as a Child Now Suing Medical Group

At just 13 years old, teenager Chloe Cole — who thought she was a boy — started taking puberty blockers, began a round of testosterone, and, just two years later, underwent a double mastectomy. Now she’s suing the medical group that allowed it all to happen.

The 18-year-old Cole announced Thursday her intent to sue the Permanente Medical Group, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals whose medical personnel “performed, supervised, and/or advised transgender hormone therapy and surgical intervention for Chloe Cole when she was between 13-17 years old.”

In a press release, Cole, represented by attorney Harmeet Dhillon, said her teenage life “has been the culmination of excruciating pain, regret, and most importantly, injustice.”

“I have been emotionally and physically damaged and stunted by so-called medical professionals in my most important developmental period,” she continued. “I was butchered by an institution that we trust more than anything else in our lives. What is worse is that I am not alone in my pain.”

“I will ensure that the blood and tears of detransitioners like me will not be in vain,” Cole continued. “It is impossible for me to recoup what I have lost, but I will fight to ensure that no other children will be harmed at the hands of these liars and mutilators.”

Dhillon, CEO of the Center for American Liberty, explained during an appearance alongside her client on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that Cole is the victim of “medical malpractice and frankly mutilation.”

“The medical system shouldn’t dictate the future of young children’s lives,” Dhillon said in a statement. “Through this legal action, we will hold the ‘professionals’ involved accountable for their deliberate choices to mutilate children and financially benefit from it without regard to the human tragedies they created.”

Cole explained to Fox News host Tucker Carlson that she was just 12 years old when she was told she could medically change her sex from female to male. From day one, she said, she was affirmed in her decision — as a child — to permanently alter her body.

She said neither she nor her parents were ever “informed of the option of psychiatric treatment or an approach that attempted to treat the underlying psychological conditions to bring about a mental state congruent with [her] biological sex.”

Furthermore, the now-detransitioned teenager said she and her parents were “falsely informed” she was at an elevated risk of committing suicide and were faced with this terrifying ultimatum: “Would you rather have a dead daughter or a live son?”

The fear-mongering questions and misleading advice has left Cole in a tragic position.

“They removed both of my breasts, and I will never have them back,” she told Carlson. “As an adult, I never will be able to breastfeed whatever children I will have. I don’t even know if — because I was put on puberty blockers and testosterone at only 13 years old — I don’t know if I’ll even be able to conceive a child naturally, because I made an adult decision as a child.”

“I’m 18 years old now and I’m, quite frankly, I’m devastated with what has happened to me,” she continued. “It’s been very hard to cope with the loss of my breasts and it’s affected other areas of my life as well. I’m really not sure about the overall picture of my reproductive health and I’ve been … the treatments have made me very sickly, actually.”

News of Cole’s lawsuit comes as lawmakers in states like Florida and Tennessee are fighting to ban clinics and hospitals from performing irrevocable transgender-related surgeries and treatments on minors. Cole’s story should help sanity prevail.
