Society's Child
Many years ago in the USA, for example, much money was poured into education by the Rockefeller-created National Education Association, with the help of the Carnegie Foundation and later on the Ford Foundation. The result of the efforts of such organizations can be seen worldwide today in the real purpose of the education system which is to teach children and young people: 1) Reward comes from accurate memory recall from heavy repetition. 2) Non-compliance will be punished. 3) Acceptance that 'truth' and what is 'real' comes from authority.
Thus, the real purpose of the education system is to cultivate conformity and prohibit critical thinking about anything of real importance.
Starting at 4 years old (and what could be a better age to start a mass indoctrination?)and finishing by the time an individual comes out of the education system, some 12 years plus on, children have had more than their fair share of programming and brainwashing, and as a result are unable to really think for themselves. Moreover, any genuine outside-of-the-box thinking with significant potential humanitarian or Mother Earth-friendly benefit is ignored, quashed, ridiculed or suppressed by the influence of those hidden controllers if it is perceived as a threat to any of their businesses.
But, as Einstein said, 'real thinking is to think the unthinkable...'

The human wall protest in Juarez was one of many planned throughout the coming days and saw over 800 students form up along the US-Mexico border in solidarity and protest.
The chain began at the site where Pope Francis gave his speech at Cruz del Migrante on the banks of the Río Grande a year ago, in which he decried forced migration as a "human tragedy."
When prosecutor Michael O'Malley first took office last month, he began looking into hundreds of cases marked 'inactive' in the computer system. As he began reviewing those cases, he found dozens of instances of rape and sexual assault cases involving children that he said prosecutors "ignored."
"There was a conscious decision (by prosecutors) to make some of these cases inactive," O'Malley said. "It's outrageous."
O'Malley has discovered around 70 cases so far, but because there are more than 1,900 cases in the system, he expects to find even more.
The incompetence and sheer failure of prosecutors to close these cases are more glaring than the thousands of rape kits that are collecting dust in police departments across the state as many of these cases involve an actual confession from the suspect.

Recently, author Veronica Roth - of "Divergent" fame - came under fire for her new novel, "Carve the Mark." In addition to being called racist, the book was criticized for its portrayal of chronic pain in its main character.
These days, though, a book may get an additional check from an unusual source: a sensitivity reader, a person who, for a nominal fee, will scan the book for racist, sexist or otherwise offensive content. These readers give feedback based on self-ascribed areas of expertise such as "dealing with terminal illness," "racial dynamics in Muslim communities within families" or "transgender issues."
"The industry recognizes this is a real concern," said Cheryl Klein, a children's and young adult book editor and author of "The Magic Words: Writing Great Books for Children and Young Adults." Klein, who works at the publisher Lee & Low, said that she has seen the casual use of specialized readers for many years but that the process has become more standardized and more of a priority, especially in books for young readers.
Sensitivity readers have emerged in a climate - fueled in part by social media - in which writers are under increased scrutiny for their portrayals of people from marginalized groups, especially when the author is not a part of that group.
Comment: Its understandable that authors would want to portray their characters in a culturally realistic way but certain social climates, like this one, fear of offending peoples' delicate sensibilities can override an author's artistic license.
The jets flew at supersonic speeds and residents were startled by the loud boom, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, NORAD, said in a statement. The two fighters were able to establish communication with the aircraft. This incident occurred at about 7 p.m. ET. No further details were immediately available.
"The intent of military intercepts is to have the identified aircraft re-establish communications with local FAA air traffic controllers and instruct the pilot to follow air traffic controllers' instructions to land safely for follow-on action," the statement read.

Rescuers and police officers stand next to the wreckage of a passenger train after it derailed in Kessel-Lo near Leuven, Belgium February 18, 2017.
The Leuven fire department has confirmed to local media that two people are in critical condition and 23 others have been injured. 14 people have already been transferred to local hospitals for treatment.
"The victim who died, was not on the train," Leuven mayor Louis Tobback told VTM. "A judicial inquiry should determine what that person was doing there," he added.
The school is enforcing the ban after staff, parents and students looked "to minimize distractions in the classroom and reduce the inappropriate uses of the devices during the school day," school principal Bill Vatzolas wrote in a letter to parents this week.
The Grades 7 and 8 students will be permitted to use their devices during lunch hour with restrictions, Vatzolas wrote. But the rules will be: no social media, no texting, no taking or viewing photos and videos.
The Austin City Council authorized the settlement on Thursday minutes after Mayor Steve Adler announced the sum, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
The settlement stems from a February 8, 2016, encounter during which Officer Geoffrey Freeman, also a black male, fired twice at a nude, unarmed Joseph, 17, in response to calls that a man was harassing residents in a North Austin neighborhood.
Comment: The wanton abuse and murder of innocent or unstable people will never end in the U.S. until every guilty officer - and their superiors - are made to account for their grisly behavior. So, keep suing and incarcerate (not merely fire) the guilty!

This Saturday, Feb. 11, 2017, aerial photo released by the California Department of Water Resources shows the damaged spillway with eroded hillside in Oroville, Calif. Water will continue to flow over an emergency spillway at the nation’s tallest dam for another day or so, officials said Sunday.
RUNNETH OVER
This week, 188,000 Californians were evacuated because an emergency spillway was damaged at Lake Oroville.
With more rain coming and a massive snow pack piling up, the state's reservoirs and dams are being pushed to their limits
DAMS AND RESERVOIRS
According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's National Inventory of Dams, there are 1,585 dams in California.
At 770 feet tall the Lake Oroville Dam is the tallest in the U.S. It was finished in 1967.
Here is a profile of dams in California from the National Inventory of Dams.
