Welcome again to
Digital Disconnect.
00:00:18.88\00:00:20.78
I'm your host Scott
Ritsema for these 13 programs.
00:00:20.98\00:00:24.05
We are now in episode 8 of 13
00:00:24.25\00:00:26.65
and boy was episode 7 a
"doozy. " Media Manipulation.
00:00:26.86\00:00:30.86
This is sort of a part 2 of that
00:00:31.16\00:00:33.43
as we take a look at
how the powers that be
00:00:33.63\00:00:36.30
in the media establishment
have sought to conform
00:00:36.50\00:00:39.60
the "group mind" as
Edward Bernays called it
00:00:39.80\00:00:41.97
to shape the thoughts
and beliefs and world view
00:00:42.17\00:00:44.64
and the habits and
tastes and ideas of
00:00:44.84\00:00:48.48
the people of the last days.
00:00:48.68\00:00:50.15
Satan is using media as
one of his critical avenues:
00:00:50.35\00:00:54.38
one of his most important
methods or tools in his bag.
00:00:54.58\00:00:58.35
And we're going to expose that
as it says in Ephesians 5:11.
00:00:58.75\00:01:02.19
"Have nothing to do with
the fruitless works of darkness
00:01:02.39\00:01:04.99
but rather expose them
and bring the light of truth
00:01:05.19\00:01:08.53
and the love of Jesus Christ.
" So shall we begin with prayer?
00:01:08.73\00:01:11.73
Father, thank you so
much for this privilege
00:01:12.30\00:01:14.94
of using media to Your glory.
00:01:15.14\00:01:17.07
Taking back these
tools to be used to the ends
00:01:17.47\00:01:21.14
and goal of Your kingdom.
00:01:21.34\00:01:23.14
May the enemy's stronghold
fall as we draw closer to
00:01:23.35\00:01:27.18
Jesus Christ. In
Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
00:01:27.38\00:01:30.45
I want to begin
with a quotation.
00:01:31.45\00:01:34.52
You're going to see
a graphic on the screen
00:01:34.72\00:01:36.46
from one Bertrand Russell,
a famed social engineer.
00:01:36.66\00:01:41.03
He said:
00:01:41.23\00:01:42.56
He goes on:
00:02:08.69\00:02:10.39
Pause right
there! You might think:
00:02:26.51\00:02:28.38
"Well, are we dealing with
secular entertainment in this
00:02:28.58\00:02:31.68
particular episode
as we look at Hollywood
00:02:31.88\00:02:35.68
and the music industry and the
manipulation that's taking place
00:02:35.88\00:02:38.75
in that? " Well,
I'll tell you something:
00:02:38.95\00:02:41.46
It's called
"secular" entertainment
00:02:41.66\00:02:43.93
but the very secular
atheists like Bertrand Russell
00:02:44.13\00:02:47.53
who go back half
a century or more
00:02:47.73\00:02:50.57
have said: "You know, the
number one way that we use
00:02:50.77\00:02:53.27
propaganda is through
the entertainment industry.
00:02:53.47\00:02:56.04
It creates a
uniformity of thought... "
00:02:56.24\00:02:58.44
"conformed to this
world" as the Bible calls it...
00:02:58.64\00:03:01.24
and he says: "These
producers of Hollywood
00:03:01.44\00:03:04.51
are the high
priests of a new religion. "
00:03:04.71\00:03:06.72
Let's take a look at
the rest of the quote:
00:03:06.92\00:03:08.55
OK... let's just let
that sink in right there.
00:03:45.29\00:03:47.66
He just alerted the power
elite to that fact that if
00:03:48.06\00:03:51.16
people engage in serious
thought and start thinking
00:03:51.36\00:03:53.80
for themselves... maybe we
would say studying the Bible,
00:03:54.00\00:03:56.97
finding freedom from media
addiction and worldly habits...
00:03:57.17\00:04:00.24
that could be a
danger to the status quo...
00:04:00.44\00:04:03.71
the power structure holding
the grip tightly on the minds
00:04:03.91\00:04:07.88
of the masses. He says
this small group of people
00:04:08.08\00:04:10.78
who do things other than
take in our amusements...
00:04:10.98\00:04:14.42
you remember
what that word means?
00:04:14.62\00:04:15.95
Amusement means to not
think; to passively receive
00:04:16.08\00:04:19.49
the Hollywood
download and template
00:04:19.69\00:04:21.46
to subconsciously be programmed
according to their ideology
00:04:21.66\00:04:25.36
and agenda. That is a danger.
This small group, he says,
00:04:25.56\00:04:28.56
if people ever wake up
and stop doing our amusement.
00:04:28.76\00:04:31.70
An amazing quotation
from one Bertrand Russell
00:04:31.90\00:04:34.87
who spoke of the power of the
high priests of a new religion.
00:04:35.07\00:04:38.87
That's the name of
this particular episode:
00:04:39.07\00:04:41.61
The High Priests
of a New Religion.
00:04:41.81\00:04:43.75
Now there are a number of
other people who have spoken
00:04:43.95\00:04:46.48
to this issue of
the power of Hollywood.
00:04:46.68\00:04:49.92
One of them was a screenwriter.
His name was Paul Schrader.
00:04:50.12\00:04:52.65
And he actually came out
and said to religious people,
00:04:52.85\00:04:55.56
he said: "We are there to
thumb our nose at your values. "
00:04:55.76\00:04:58.46
"We don't care if you
like us. We don't like you. "
00:04:58.66\00:05:01.53
I'm quoting now. He
says: "People think Hollywood
00:05:01.73\00:05:04.77
has principles, morals,
and values. It doesn't. "
00:05:04.97\00:05:07.80
Now that was quite a
confrontational statement
00:05:08.00\00:05:10.41
from the
screenwriter Paul Schrader
00:05:10.61\00:05:12.57
but he's saying
what we all kind of knew:
00:05:12.77\00:05:15.04
Hollywood doesn't have
principles, morals, and values.
00:05:15.24\00:05:17.65
Well they have counterfeit
ones. They have distorted ones.
00:05:17.85\00:05:20.48
Their principles are principles
of the kingdom of the enemy.
00:05:20.68\00:05:23.92
Another filmmaker
named David Putnam
00:05:24.32\00:05:26.89
once said: "Movies are powerful.
00:05:27.09\00:05:30.13
They steal up on you in
the darkness of the cinema
00:05:30.33\00:05:33.23
to form or
conform social attitudes.
00:05:33.43\00:05:36.80
They tinker around
inside your brain. "
00:05:37.00\00:05:38.97
The ideas of the
media... that's end quote...
00:05:39.17\00:05:41.17
the ideas presented in Hollywood
00:05:41.44\00:05:43.81
are tinkering
around inside our brain
00:05:44.01\00:05:45.84
conforming the social
attitudes of the generation.
00:05:46.04\00:05:49.18
The Bible says: "Do not
be conformed" in Romans 12:2.
00:05:49.38\00:05:53.18
Another filmmaker
named Kevin Smith also said:
00:05:53.38\00:05:56.02
"I always like to think of it as
like I've got 'em sittin' there.
00:05:56.22\00:05:59.05
Whip a little message at 'em.
00:05:59.25\00:06:00.66
Whip a little moral at 'em.
00:06:00.86\00:06:02.22
Whip a little of what
my view of the world is
00:06:02.42\00:06:04.46
because that's what
every good filmmaker does. "
00:06:04.66\00:06:06.90
End of quote.
00:06:07.30\00:06:08.63
Kevin Smith was saying
what we probably would assume:
00:06:08.66\00:06:10.90
they've got a soapbox...
They've got a platform;
00:06:11.10\00:06:13.13
they're going to
present their world view
00:06:13.34\00:06:15.40
which is derived
from the enemy of souls:
00:06:15.60\00:06:17.91
false, counterfeit, deception...
you name it. Immorality,
00:06:18.11\00:06:23.24
destruction of the family.
We're going to get into all
00:06:23.45\00:06:24.91
of that. But the founder of MTV
00:06:25.11\00:06:27.42
stated it even more bluntly.
00:06:27.62\00:06:29.28
His name was Robert Pittman
and he came out and said:
00:06:29.48\00:06:32.05
"The goal is to get
people's emotions going,
00:06:32.25\00:06:35.02
make them forget their logic,
00:06:35.22\00:06:37.33
and at that
point you've got 'em. "
00:06:37.53\00:06:39.19
Yeah, but how is that possible?
00:06:39.39\00:06:40.73
It's in Walt Mueller's
book Youth Culture 101.
00:06:40.76\00:06:43.43
By the way, if you
want all these quotes
00:06:43.63\00:06:44.97
you can look at that
on Media on the Brain.
00:06:45.13\00:06:46.74
I'm not going to be
giving you all the sources.
00:06:46.94\00:06:48.80
We're going to try and
get through it more quickly.
00:06:49.00\00:06:50.37
Or send me an e-mail:
scottritsema@gmail.com
00:06:50.57\00:06:53.27
I will send you the
quotes and the references
00:06:53.48\00:06:56.64
so that you can compile
and collect this information
00:06:56.85\00:06:59.05
'cause it is voluminous, eye-
opening and ultra-crystal clear.
00:06:59.25\00:07:03.32
scottritsema@gmail.com
00:07:03.52\00:07:05.52
Another thing that Robert
Pittman, the founder of MTV said
00:07:05.92\00:07:10.09
was... He says: "At MTV
00:07:10.29\00:07:13.43
we don't shoot for the
14-year-olds... we own them. "
00:07:13.63\00:07:17.60
So this is a form of
modern mental and spiritual
00:07:17.80\00:07:20.80
slavery. We are
getting owned by Hollywood
00:07:21.00\00:07:23.64
to the extent that we open
up our souls to their influence
00:07:23.84\00:07:26.81
and that of our children.
00:07:27.01\00:07:28.34
Another quotation that
is particularly helpful is
00:07:28.44\00:07:30.98
an advertising
executive who gave the credit
00:07:31.18\00:07:34.45
to where the credit would be due
00:07:34.65\00:07:36.38
if you're serving
the kingdoms of darkness.
00:07:36.58\00:07:38.79
And she stated in a back-room
conversation with the author
00:07:39.19\00:07:45.13
of that book Youth Culture 101
00:07:45.33\00:07:47.13
she said: "We've taken
a page from Satan's book.
00:07:47.33\00:07:50.73
Find a point of weakness & lust
in every man, woman, and child
00:07:50.93\00:07:54.64
and target that weakness to make
them want to buy the product. "
00:07:54.84\00:07:57.84
Now that is important
because it's very eye-opening.
00:07:58.04\00:08:01.61
But also it pins the target
00:08:01.81\00:08:06.48
on the correct enemy. Is our
battle against flesh and blood?
00:08:06.68\00:08:09.85
As Christians we can
quote these Hollywood people
00:08:10.05\00:08:12.39
and so on but they
are flesh and blood.
00:08:12.59\00:08:14.56
They are not the enemy so
much as Satan is the enemy.
00:08:14.76\00:08:17.93
So this advertising executive
said: "We've taken a page
00:08:18.13\00:08:21.10
from Satan's book. " I
appreciate the clarification
00:08:21.30\00:08:23.87
there that our battle
is not against these people
00:08:24.07\00:08:26.67
who themselves are
victims in Satan's hands
00:08:26.87\00:08:28.87
and then are used as agents
for the destruction of souls.
00:08:29.07\00:08:31.77
Like the founder and CEO of HBO.
00:08:31.97\00:08:35.61
He actually admitted they were
trying to get people addicted
00:08:35.81\00:08:38.25
to their
programming 'cause he was asked:
00:08:38.45\00:08:40.88
"Are you aware that
people are stealing your movies
00:08:41.08\00:08:42.85
basically by sharing
passwords and logging in online
00:08:43.05\00:08:46.05
and the person
didn't buy the movies? "
00:08:46.25\00:08:48.32
He said: "Oh yeah... we
want them to become exposed
00:08:48.52\00:08:50.66
to it and addicted to it
because 'that is what we are in
00:08:50.86\00:08:53.90
the business of doing:
building video addicts. ' "
00:08:54.10\00:08:57.33
End quote! So they get
very blunt and honest at times.
00:08:57.53\00:09:00.74
And remember in the
previous episode we saw how many
00:09:00.94\00:09:04.01
big tech executives and
Silicon Valley engineers
00:09:04.21\00:09:07.24
were protecting their own chil-
dren from the harmful effects
00:09:07.44\00:09:09.71
of interactive screen time
in early childhood particularly.
00:09:09.91\00:09:12.98
Well there are also Hollywood
people... I want you to see
00:09:13.18\00:09:16.08
some of the faces and
names. Music industry insiders,
00:09:16.28\00:09:19.02
actors, film makers.
You probably know these.
00:09:19.22\00:09:22.26
These are household names
who protect their own children
00:09:22.46\00:09:25.13
and they came out in interviews.
Two were men; two were women
00:09:25.33\00:09:27.70
there and admitted: "We
don't allow actually this
00:09:28.20\00:09:31.57
same material that they
are producing to be shown
00:09:31.77\00:09:35.50
and listened to
in their homes. "
00:09:35.70\00:09:37.47
In fact, even to the point of
one of the people on that screen
00:09:37.67\00:09:40.71
was not having her children
looking at Disney films.
00:09:40.91\00:09:45.25
And you might say: "Disney? Well
that's child's entertainment.
00:09:45.45\00:09:47.42
That's not as big of a deal
as some of these other things
00:09:47.62\00:09:50.55
we're discussing. " But I
found it very interesting.
00:09:50.75\00:09:52.85
I was viewing a
fantastic documentary
00:09:53.05\00:09:55.32
about Disney. It
was called Magic Kingdom
00:09:55.52\00:09:57.63
by a fantastic group
called Little Light Ministry.
00:09:57.83\00:10:00.43
And in that documentary
they take on the film Aladdin.
00:10:00.63\00:10:04.30
And in Aladdin the
theme is you've got the lady
00:10:04.50\00:10:08.90
and the man, and
it's this love story.
00:10:09.10\00:10:10.94
The man Aladdin is this thief
00:10:11.14\00:10:14.81
and he's running around
stealing. And he's the good guy
00:10:15.01\00:10:17.48
in the movie, and we start
to like him because he's so fun
00:10:17.68\00:10:20.65
and cool and nice to
children and monkeys and all.
00:10:20.85\00:10:23.69
I won't get
into all the details.
00:10:23.89\00:10:25.32
Probably most people viewing
this have seen this film.
00:10:25.52\00:10:28.29
But Jasmine is the young lady.
00:10:28.49\00:10:30.23
She's the daughter of the king.
00:10:30.43\00:10:31.89
Now interestingly when
you think about the king
00:10:32.09\00:10:34.50
and the father you start think-
ing spiritual analogies here,
00:10:34.70\00:10:37.23
don't you? Because Aladdin,
who is a professional thief...
00:10:37.43\00:10:40.17
remember the devil comes only
to steal and kill and destroy.
00:10:40.37\00:10:42.97
To steal. So we don't believe
in stealing as Christians.
00:10:43.17\00:10:45.74
We believe the Ten
Commandments prohibit stealing.
00:10:45.94\00:10:48.21
Even if you're
stealing because you are in need
00:10:48.41\00:10:50.95
stealing is wrong.
00:10:51.15\00:10:52.48
Well, he's trying to steal
if you will the heart of young
00:10:52.51\00:10:55.25
Jasmine from the
father who is the king
00:10:55.45\00:10:57.52
who is her authority. And
he says: "No one to tell us no
00:10:57.72\00:11:01.36
or where to go. " Do you re-
member hearing that in the song?
00:11:01.56\00:11:03.93
And it's like: "Wow!
That's total rebellion
00:11:04.13\00:11:05.83
against parental authority. "
00:11:06.03\00:11:07.93
And beyond that it
goes to the point where
00:11:08.13\00:11:10.73
he takes her up at a high
elevation on this magic carpet
00:11:10.93\00:11:13.84
ride and he sings to
her: "I can show you the world
00:11:14.04\00:11:17.71
and it's splendid.
" Now wait a minute!
00:11:17.91\00:11:20.41
He goes above the clouds and he
takes her up on a high elevation
00:11:20.61\00:11:23.98
and he shows her the
world and it is splendid.
00:11:24.18\00:11:27.22
Now I remember
reading in Matthew 4...
00:11:27.42\00:11:29.32
Have you read it? Jesus is
taken up on a high elevation
00:11:29.52\00:11:32.79
by somebody, and this person
shows Jesus the whole world
00:11:32.99\00:11:36.52
in its splendor. Word for
word. Showed Him the world
00:11:36.73\00:11:39.33
and its splendor. And
in the very song in Aladdin
00:11:39.53\00:11:42.10
he shows her the
world and it's splendid.
00:11:42.30\00:11:44.83
Well who is that that
took Jesus up on the mountain?
00:11:45.23\00:11:48.00
That was Satan.
00:11:48.20\00:11:49.54
And who was it that said: "I
will ascend above the clouds"
00:11:49.60\00:11:52.21
in Isaiah 14? Is
this all a coincidence?
00:11:52.41\00:11:54.38
This is pretty weird
stuff that this all shows up
00:11:54.58\00:11:56.68
in this very same song in
this one particular movie.
00:11:56.88\00:12:00.02
He also tells Jasmine
to "follow your heart. "
00:12:00.42\00:12:03.12
"When is the last time
you let your heart decide? "
00:12:03.32\00:12:05.69
And the Bible says clearly
that the heart is deceitful
00:12:05.89\00:12:08.29
above all things and we
should not let that decide
00:12:08.49\00:12:10.76
anything for us. We
should let the Word of God
00:12:10.96\00:12:13.60
and truth and Jesus
dictate... not our hearts.
00:12:13.80\00:12:17.90
Then one very eye-opening
thing happens in the song
00:12:18.10\00:12:21.04
that really makes me go:
"OK there is something going on.
00:12:21.24\00:12:23.41
I don't know what's
going on but there's something
00:12:23.61\00:12:25.21
going on with this song. "
00:12:25.41\00:12:26.74
And it goes
like this... he says:
00:12:26.88\00:12:29.21
"I'm like a shooting
star. I've come so far.
00:12:29.41\00:12:32.98
I can't go back to
where I used to be. "
00:12:33.18\00:12:35.75
Now that sounds familiar because
a star in Biblical prophecy
00:12:35.95\00:12:39.15
represents an angel,
and Lucifer is the son of
00:12:39.35\00:12:42.12
the dawn, the
morning star which fell.
00:12:42.32\00:12:44.19
And here you have Aladdin
saying: "I am like a shooting
00:12:44.39\00:12:47.30
star that can't go back
to where I used to be. "
00:12:47.50\00:12:50.30
Satan was cast out of heaven.
00:12:50.50\00:12:52.00
Interesting. Well,
it goes beyond that.
00:12:52.20\00:12:55.17
Here it is with
Eve... I'm sorry, Jasmine.
00:12:55.37\00:12:58.97
I don't know why I
always make that mistake.
00:12:59.17\00:13:00.81
Because Aladdin
grabs a piece of fruit,
00:13:01.01\00:13:03.91
hands it to Jasmine, just like
this is in the Garden of Eden.
00:13:04.11\00:13:08.35
She looks at the
fruit: "Oh, how tempting! "
00:13:08.55\00:13:11.15
Isn't the symbolism
here quite striking?
00:13:11.35\00:13:14.66
So you could draw
conclusions and speculate about
00:13:15.06\00:13:17.53
the film makers of Aladdin
and what they were thinking
00:13:17.73\00:13:19.69
and doing, and I don't
know. But I CAN say the fruits
00:13:19.89\00:13:22.80
of that - no pun
intended - are representing
00:13:23.00\00:13:26.13
rebellion and the very
themes of the great controversy
00:13:26.33\00:13:28.87
putting Satan as the good guy.
00:13:29.07\00:13:31.04
And then you get Frozen.
00:13:31.34\00:13:32.87
And in Frozen the young
lady sings, and I quote:
00:13:33.07\00:13:36.18
"There's no right and no wrong.
No rules for me. I'm free. "
00:13:36.38\00:13:40.38
Now as Bible-believing
Christians we don't believe
00:13:40.58\00:13:43.02
freedom is found in licentious-
ness and license to do
00:13:43.22\00:13:46.25
whatever you want.
Freedom is found in obedience
00:13:46.45\00:13:48.76
to Christ in the
power that He gives us
00:13:48.96\00:13:50.89
to throw off the chains
of sin and find the grace
00:13:51.09\00:13:54.30
and power of Jesus in our lives.
00:13:54.46\00:13:56.53
Contrary to Frozen
and Elsa who sings:
00:13:57.30\00:14:00.24
"There's no right; no
wrong... no rules for me. "
00:14:00.44\00:14:02.60
And that's how she
finds so-called freedom.
00:14:02.80\00:14:05.04
We know that's
bondage. The Bible says
00:14:05.24\00:14:07.08
we will either be slaves to
sin or slaves to righteousness.
00:14:07.28\00:14:10.25
Now when we speak about
the targeting of the children
00:14:10.45\00:14:13.58
in Aladdin, I have a
quotation from the person
00:14:13.78\00:14:16.58
who was sort of the pioneer
of marketing to children.
00:14:16.79\00:14:20.42
His name is James U. McNeal.
So this is not on Disney.
00:14:20.62\00:14:23.59
It's just the concept of target-
children with your advertising
00:14:23.79\00:14:26.83
which they didn't
used to be allowed to do.
00:14:27.03\00:14:28.73
But James U. McNeal in
the 1970's was pioneering
00:14:28.93\00:14:31.93
this new field of
advertising to children.
00:14:32.13\00:14:34.57
And he said:
"The consumer embryo
00:14:35.07\00:14:37.37
begins to develop during
the first year of existence.
00:14:37.57\00:14:40.21
Children begin their
consumer journey in infancy
00:14:40.41\00:14:43.65
and they certainly deserve
consideration as consumers
00:14:43.85\00:14:47.65
at that time. " In the
first year of existence
00:14:47.85\00:14:50.02
the baby is considered a
consumer by this industry
00:14:50.22\00:14:53.46
And one of these industry execu-
tives was confronted about this.
00:14:53.66\00:14:57.56
Her name is Lucy Hughes.
00:14:57.76\00:14:59.26
And she was asked in a docu-
mentary called Consuming Kids
00:14:59.46\00:15:02.46
about this concept
of targeting children
00:15:02.66\00:15:05.57
to try to nag the parents
to try to get the parents
00:15:05.77\00:15:07.87
to buy all the
goodies and the unhealthy food
00:15:08.07\00:15:09.80
and the video games,
etc. And that was the strategy
00:15:10.01\00:15:12.44
in board rooms
in corporate America
00:15:12.64\00:15:14.74
They asked her to
comment on this, and she says:
00:15:14.94\00:15:18.31
"Well somebody asked me:
'Lucy, is that ethical? '
00:15:18.51\00:15:21.45
You're essentially
manipulating these children. "
00:15:21.65\00:15:23.75
And her answer is: "Well,
is it ethical? I don't know. "
00:15:23.95\00:15:27.79
So she poses herself
the softball question
00:15:27.99\00:15:30.46
"Is this ethical
even what you are doing? "
00:15:30.66\00:15:32.79
And the answer is: "If
I'm honest, I don't really
00:15:32.99\00:15:35.33
know if what we are
doing is even ethical. "
00:15:35.53\00:15:38.50
So in their honest moments
they tell you what they're doing
00:15:38.70\00:15:41.60
and they've had much success.
00:15:41.80\00:15:43.47
Since 1984 when they began
advertising directly to children
00:15:43.67\00:15:46.98
children's spending
increased 35% per year
00:15:47.18\00:15:50.91
over the next 30 years.
00:15:51.11\00:15:52.98
Thirty-five percent per
year outpaces economic growth
00:15:53.18\00:15:56.65
tenfold. I mean,
we're happy to have 3.5%
00:15:56.85\00:15:59.69
economic growth
in the whole economy.
00:15:59.89\00:16:02.99
Thirty-five percent increase per
year is a vastly higher rate.
00:16:03.19\00:16:06.63
Children now spend 40
billion dollars per year
00:16:06.83\00:16:09.56
and influence their parents
to spend 700 billion dollars.
00:16:09.76\00:16:13.44
The family I grew up in my
parents made the decisions.
00:16:13.64\00:16:16.14
It wasn't the
children nagging the parents
00:16:16.34\00:16:18.51
and getting the things
that they want in that way.
00:16:18.71\00:16:21.78
That is a dangerous reversal
of the position of authority.
00:16:21.98\00:16:24.95
And of course we want to
give good gifts to our children.
00:16:25.15\00:16:27.55
The Bible says: "The
Father in heaven will
00:16:27.75\00:16:29.52
give good gifts to His
children just like if a child
00:16:29.72\00:16:33.46
comes and asks
bread of his father
00:16:33.66\00:16:34.99
he will not give him a
scorpion or a poisonous snake. "
00:16:35.19\00:16:38.09
So we can know that we
have good things coming our way
00:16:38.29\00:16:40.86
so I don't want
children to feel deprived
00:16:41.06\00:16:43.20
if you don't get
everything you want.
00:16:43.40\00:16:44.73
Sometimes not getting
what you want is a great gift
00:16:44.83\00:16:47.24
in itself 'cause it
teaches us self-denial.
00:16:47.44\00:16:49.87
And then, of course, Jesus
loves to pour out His blessings
00:16:50.07\00:16:52.84
in creation and the
presence of your parents.
00:16:53.04\00:16:55.41
And that's the number one gift
we can give to our children,
00:16:55.61\00:16:57.51
isn't it? Our own
presence; our own time;
00:16:57.71\00:17:01.58
our investment in them.
00:17:01.78\00:17:03.39
Now I want to share with
you some things about the real
00:17:03.59\00:17:05.42
targeting of the children
in this high priest of a new
00:17:05.62\00:17:08.12
religion media
manipulation segment.
00:17:08.32\00:17:11.16
Because the number one
tool in Satan's arsenal
00:17:11.36\00:17:14.16
to target the minds of
the masses, particularly
00:17:14.36\00:17:16.67
from early ages,
is through the media.
00:17:16.87\00:17:18.53
But he's got two. The second
is the worldly schooling system.
00:17:18.73\00:17:23.20
And that has been in
place for over 100 years.
00:17:23.41\00:17:25.97
One of the founders of
American public schooling's
00:17:26.17\00:17:28.81
name was John Dewey. I
want you to hear his quotation.
00:17:29.01\00:17:31.51
Now you might think
they're supposed to be learning
00:17:38.25\00:17:39.95
reading, writing,
and arithmetic. No!
00:17:40.16\00:17:41.99
Well that sounds like not
what I thought school was for.
00:17:48.16\00:17:51.87
But these founders
of American schooling
00:17:52.07\00:17:56.14
their methods and ideology
were very similar to that
00:17:56.54\00:17:59.41
of the media heads
that we're reading about.
00:17:59.61\00:18:01.61
I want you to
hear from a statement
00:18:01.81\00:18:03.18
from the
Rockefeller Education Board
00:18:03.38\00:18:04.91
where they came out and said
exactly what their ideas were
00:18:05.15\00:18:08.68
with forming and funding
this thing called American
00:18:08.88\00:18:12.39
public schooling. And
most teachers don't know this
00:18:12.59\00:18:14.26
and aren't a part of this, but
this is the founding principle.
00:18:14.46\00:18:16.36
So you might say:
"They actually said that? "
00:19:00.54\00:19:02.14
Yes. You thought that these
were the things we're trying to
00:19:02.34\00:19:05.17
help our children become.
But the devil has his target
00:19:05.37\00:19:08.51
on the children as he
did in the time of Pharaoh:
00:19:08.71\00:19:10.81
throwing them in the
river, and at the time of Herod.
00:19:11.01\00:19:12.88
Here he is in the last
days with his final assault
00:19:13.08\00:19:15.48
upon the children. I want
you to hear another quotation
00:19:15.92\00:19:18.25
from one of the founders
of modern public education.
00:19:18.45\00:19:20.79
His name was William
Torrey Harris and he said:
00:19:20.99\00:19:23.22
What does that mean?
00:19:46.11\00:19:47.45
To subsume one's individuality
00:19:47.58\00:19:50.62
is to take the little piece
of dough that is its own unique
00:19:50.82\00:19:54.52
texture and flavor and
to mass it into the great
00:19:54.72\00:19:58.69
beige sameness that is
the social lump of dough
00:19:58.89\00:20:03.40
that the child is
being subsumed into
00:20:03.60\00:20:05.73
and losing their
individual character.
00:20:05.93\00:20:08.10
I have a series called
Schools: the Deliberate Agenda:
00:20:08.30\00:20:11.17
to destroy individuality,
reduce intelligence,
00:20:11.37\00:20:15.11
and re-engineer society.
That's exactly what these
00:20:15.31\00:20:18.18
founders of American public
schooling in concert with the
00:20:18.38\00:20:20.65
media agenda have been
up to for over a century.
00:20:20.85\00:20:23.85
Ninety-nine students have
been turned into automatons
00:20:24.05\00:20:27.09
out of 100. And this
dates back to the Dark Ages.
00:20:27.29\00:20:29.69
At the time of the
Dark Ages the power that be
00:20:29.89\00:20:33.46
wanted to keep people
ignorant. "If we can keep people
00:20:33.66\00:20:35.83
illiterate then they can't
come to a knowledge of truth
00:20:36.03\00:20:38.67
in the Bible for themselves. "
00:20:38.87\00:20:40.47
Well, then something happened
called the printing press.
00:20:40.67\00:20:42.97
We'll talk about that
in a subsequent episode.
00:20:43.17\00:20:45.54
At that time people got the
Bible in their own language,
00:20:46.37\00:20:49.54
became enlightened,
and reformation began.
00:20:49.74\00:20:52.61
The Protestant
Reformation it's been called
00:20:52.81\00:20:54.52
and it's one of the greatest
epochs in human history.
00:20:54.92\00:20:57.62
Well, it got the
concern of the established power
00:20:57.82\00:21:01.72
structure. The
priest class of Europe
00:21:01.92\00:21:03.63
were very worried that
the people were rising up
00:21:03.83\00:21:05.96
and establishing their own
understanding of truth and now
00:21:06.16\00:21:08.63
no longer under the grip
and control of papal Rome.
00:21:08.83\00:21:11.77
And so the
Jesuit Order was formed.
00:21:12.17\00:21:14.70
And here's what Bertrand
Russell tells us. Interestingly
00:21:14.90\00:21:17.27
as a historian
he points out that
00:21:17.47\00:21:19.21
the Jesuits formed an
education system that:
00:21:19.41\00:21:22.14
Contented with whatever
lot you may be delivered
00:21:41.80\00:21:44.20
as an autonomation and
a cog in this great system
00:21:44.40\00:21:47.20
of control. He said: "We
want them to be thoughtless.
00:21:47.40\00:21:49.77
We want them to be
under the caste system.
00:21:49.97\00:21:54.01
One type of education
for the people who will be
00:21:54.21\00:21:56.34
brought into the power structure
00:21:56.54\00:21:57.88
and mass
'education' for the masses. "
00:21:58.01\00:22:01.55
The definition of
schooling and education is
00:22:01.75\00:22:03.95
to subsume the individual.
In fact, the founder of
00:22:04.15\00:22:07.76
Prussian-style school... You
may have never heard of Prussia,
00:22:07.96\00:22:10.36
Germany, the
German states uniting
00:22:10.56\00:22:12.89
under Otto von Bismarck in
the 19th century. Prior to that
00:22:13.09\00:22:16.20
you had the Prussian state
wanting to be the strongest
00:22:16.40\00:22:18.83
imperial power on
the continent of Europe.
00:22:19.03\00:22:21.80
And so they said:
"We're going to do that by
00:22:22.00\00:22:24.64
starting young with our
children. We're going to have
00:22:24.84\00:22:26.44
state education -
public education -
00:22:26.64\00:22:28.48
and here's what they
said in their statement.
00:22:28.68\00:22:30.75
This is from Johann
Gottlieb Fichte. He said:
00:22:30.95\00:22:33.05
So you can see the
agenda going on there
00:22:50.53\00:22:53.10
in 19th century Prussia.
00:22:53.34\00:22:54.70
It was interesting, too,
because there was a founder
00:22:54.90\00:22:57.31
of American public schooling way
back in the early 19th century
00:22:57.51\00:23:00.51
advocating for compulsory
schooling. Where kind of
00:23:00.71\00:23:03.78
right now we get every
child involved with the media
00:23:03.98\00:23:06.21
every child was to be in
the public schooling system
00:23:06.41\00:23:09.45
under the
indoctrination, and that began
00:23:09.65\00:23:12.12
under Horace Mann, who may
have had good intentions also,
00:23:12.32\00:23:15.49
but interestingly it
was a prophetic year - 1844-
00:23:15.69\00:23:19.19
that was the birth of modern
public schooling in America.
00:23:19.39\00:23:21.93
1844 we saw in the first
episode of Digital Disconnect
00:23:22.13\00:23:25.60
was when the birth of
modern media took place
00:23:25.80\00:23:27.80
with the
telegraph. God can use media
00:23:28.00\00:23:30.11
as we're using it now.
Satan says: "We're going to
00:23:30.31\00:23:32.34
co-opt it and we're going to
destroy people using media. "
00:23:32.54\00:23:34.98
And interestingly, the same
thing is true about education.
00:23:35.18\00:23:37.81
You can have
godly, true education,
00:23:38.01\00:23:40.52
Christian
education, home education,
00:23:40.72\00:23:42.92
awesome academies
and church schools.
00:23:43.12\00:23:45.42
You have Satan's counterfeit.
00:23:45.62\00:23:47.12
And I know there's a lot of
good people in the public school
00:23:47.32\00:23:49.02
system. There's frankly
good people in the worldly media
00:23:49.22\00:23:51.79
who are just part of...
they're not necessarily serving
00:23:51.99\00:23:54.76
in an evil aim. They
don't even understand
00:23:55.06\00:23:56.73
what they're a part of. They're
a technician or whatever.
00:23:56.93\00:23:58.67
BUT I was a public
school teacher so I can say that
00:23:58.87\00:24:01.97
with some credibility that
there are lots of wonderful
00:24:02.17\00:24:04.14
people trying to do the best
they can buy these children.
00:24:04.34\00:24:06.98
But the system was designed
to subsume the individuality,
00:24:07.18\00:24:11.18
to actually reduce
intelligence. I don't have time
00:24:11.38\00:24:13.15
to give you the 3- hour
seminar called Schooled.
00:24:13.35\00:24:15.88
But I will sum up with this:
00:24:16.08\00:24:17.95
I want to think about the
social control aspect of this.
00:24:18.15\00:24:21.72
There was a guy who wrote
a book called Social Control.
00:24:21.92\00:24:23.96
His name was Edward
Alsworth Ross and he said
00:24:24.16\00:24:26.09
the goal of the
social engineers is to:
00:24:26.29\00:24:28.40
There was another
one similar to Ross
00:24:37.54\00:24:39.87
who I'll quote here from
The Social History of the
00:24:40.21\00:24:42.64
American Family. This
is Arthur Calhoun speaking
00:24:42.84\00:24:45.25
in the early 20th century also.
00:24:45.45\00:24:47.12
He says: "The child passes
more and more into the custody
00:24:47.32\00:24:50.12
of community experts
who are qualified to perform
00:24:50.32\00:24:53.59
the 'complexer'
functions of parenthood. "
00:24:53.79\00:24:57.03
So the state will
become the parent.
00:24:57.23\00:24:58.66
Now that raises my
alarm bells as a parent.
00:24:58.86\00:25:01.43
You see the assault
on the family going on
00:25:01.63\00:25:03.77
through many of these
sessions: through media,
00:25:03.97\00:25:05.67
through this
social engineering system
00:25:05.87\00:25:07.94
to the point
where you can look at
00:25:08.14\00:25:09.90
not just Arthur
Calhoun's quotation
00:25:10.11\00:25:12.67
but also Ellwood
Cubberley. Listen to this one
00:25:12.87\00:25:14.88
on the graphic. He says:
00:25:15.08\00:25:16.41
Then you might say:
"Well that's impossible!
00:25:35.06\00:25:38.07
How are they actually
going to make that claim? "
00:25:38.27\00:25:40.07
Well there was a judicial pro-
clamation in the Ninth Circuit
00:25:40.27\00:25:44.21
Court of Appeals that
actually came out and said:
00:25:44.41\00:25:47.34
"Through the public school sys-
tem we're... " indoctrinating...
00:25:47.54\00:25:49.44
Well, that's my word...
"indoctrinating children
00:25:49.64\00:25:51.21
with a certain ideology
about sexuality for example. "
00:25:51.41\00:25:54.88
And they said: "There is
no... " This is the judicial
00:25:55.08\00:25:58.19
system in America
stated: "There is no
00:25:58.39\00:26:00.72
fundamental right of parents
to be the exclusive provider
00:26:00.92\00:26:03.83
of information regarding sexual
matters to their children. "
00:26:04.03\00:26:06.46
I beg to differ.
00:26:06.66\00:26:08.00
But they said: "Parents
have no due process or privacy
00:26:08.03\00:26:10.57
rights to
override the determinations
00:26:10.77\00:26:12.83
of public schools as to
the information to which
00:26:13.03\00:26:15.17
their children will be exposed
while enrolled as students. "
00:26:15.37\00:26:17.97
That's a good call to
not be enrolled as students
00:26:18.17\00:26:20.18
in those particular
schools. We've gotta support
00:26:20.38\00:26:22.68
our godly Christian schools.
00:26:22.88\00:26:24.68
So the United Nations
has also discussed this.
00:26:24.88\00:26:28.08
And as the Media on the
Brain guy like this one just
00:26:28.28\00:26:30.99
blew my mind when
they actually came out:
00:26:31.19\00:26:33.46
The United Nations Convention
on the Rights of the Child.
00:26:33.66\00:26:36.36
I won't quote it
for the sake of time,
00:26:36.56\00:26:38.93
but they basically say in that
Convention in that statement
00:26:39.13\00:26:42.53
of rights - Declaration
of Children's Rights - that
00:26:42.73\00:26:44.57
children have the right to
watch whatever media they want
00:26:44.77\00:26:46.97
and to consume
whatever media they desire
00:26:47.17\00:26:49.67
and the parents have
no authority over that.
00:26:49.87\00:26:51.57
So ooh... is that
God's idea or Satan's?
00:26:51.77\00:26:54.31
You know, God
created the family structure.
00:26:54.51\00:26:57.01
And so when I see the
literal Baphomet statues
00:26:57.21\00:27:00.78
being erected in Detroit, MI
00:27:00.98\00:27:03.05
where they've got the
image of the horned deity
00:27:03.25\00:27:05.52
and they're like
"We're Satan worshipers"
00:27:05.72\00:27:07.09
what is the key part of that?
00:27:07.29\00:27:09.66
See if you can take a
look at the graphic here.
00:27:09.86\00:27:11.59
It's children looking up in awe
00:27:11.79\00:27:14.73
at the disgusting
deity there of Baphomet.
00:27:14.93\00:27:20.17
So you know a
Satanic agenda is on
00:27:20.37\00:27:23.27
as the high
priests of a new religion
00:27:23.47\00:27:24.94
which we thought was
secular entertainment
00:27:25.14\00:27:26.98
and secular schooling...
there is something deeper
00:27:27.18\00:27:29.64
and darker and I
have some good news:
00:27:29.84\00:27:31.91
we say in Child
Guidance - a wonderful book -
00:27:32.11\00:27:34.72
it says: "The only true
light is in Jesus Christ. "
00:27:34.92\00:27:37.52
It says: "Have nothing to
do with the things that are
00:27:37.72\00:27:39.65
bewitching our children. "
So we turn to Jesus with joy.
00:27:39.85\00:27:42.82
We gather our children
unto us like they did at
00:27:43.02\00:27:45.13
the Exodus and we walk
together to raise our children
00:27:45.33\00:27:48.30
to be the light
to this dark world
00:27:48.50\00:27:50.27
to win souls from
this system of control.
00:27:50.47\00:27:52.60
