What is clear once reading about what is happening in Russia compared to West when excluding the mass media propaganda it is clear that there is really nothing to tell them apart. Names and places have been changed to protect the guilty but the same totalitarian program is proceeding at full speed.

I take some solace in the fact that total reliance in technology will be the downfall of the technocracy, imagine if every person had just one kind of ID. Then the system would have all the secret police in every country generating countermeasures and ways to subvert it because they will not trust their criminal friends and it must at least look like they have an enemy. These vulnerabilities will LEAK and a moment (repeatedly) will come when the system is totally compromised and people can expose truths or manipulate their own freedoms. Like the Russian state media was hacked and Finnish mental health patient details reached the internet so too will all other centralised systems be vulnerable.

Their hubris is bigger than they believe and it will be their downfall.

Riley, there you are, i was getting worried not seeing anything from you in a couple of weeks. Whew! Thanks for this look at Russia's "alternative" mode of education, sounds just like over here in the States. :-) Reminder that i've posted several times about Pavel Luksha, a leading transhumanist who is in charge of restructuring not only Russia's education system, but the systems of the BRICS bloc, to prepare for the Great Reset/4IR. Look him up, his outfit Global Education Futures and the Ervin Laszlo Foundation which he sits on the board of, Laszlo being one of the original transhumanists.

Hi Riley, you are probably aware of the work of Alison McDowall at ´´wrenchinthegears.com´´.

She has often highlighted the fact that Russian education and finance specialists are heavily involved in developing global pilot cyber educational programmes that will work in tandem with AI development on one hand and banking ´´impact investment´´ product rollout on the other.

´´Human data´´ will be the new ´´oil´´ feeding an alternative derivatives ponzi investment scheme, a new fun space for investors/bankers to place their bets on impacts/outcomes (´´negative´´ as well as positive impacts) of various intervention programmes in health, education etc . Poorer communities of course (like the ´´rural´´ ones you mention in Russia) are already being targeted for the first phases of experimentation in data harvesting through virtual reality classrooms (headsets for teachers) and their accompanying trial investment programmes.

I attach a link to one of Alison´s recent posts

This is brilliant for introducing the impact investment concept IMO. If any of you think so..share it around

Yey, Riley is back and keeps fearlessly exposing globalists in Russia! And I was beginning to worry if the Tbilisi Hill or maybe too much khachapuri has finally gotten to him. Yes, those Gref & Co. in Russia are not losing any time. While the population is being distracted with the ongoing not-a-war in Ukraine, they keep pushing various schemes related to education, total digital control and the continued lucrative business of not so harmless injections. Not to mention scheming behind the backs of the fighting troops on how to exchange Kherson for a "peace" deal, a "dogovorniak" (dirty backroom deal) as Russians call it. But, on a positive side - Russia is pregnant with change. The situation defined by Lenin as when "the lower class doesn't want to live as before and the ruling class can't" is approaching rapidly. The hope is only on the "Western partners of Russia", as Putin calls them. He also called Zelensky and his clique "our Ukrainian partners" at a recent press conference. Was it a Freudian slip of a tongue? Dear Western partners of Russia, dear President Zelensky - don't let the pressure up, don't agree to any concessions, don't propose any half-baked deals - you are the agents of change for Russia. Help Russia change, give the world a hope!

Excellent. The Kleptocracy, Mars bars the WEF, the Huffington Post, Animal Face Recognition technology and the devolution of humanity, it’s history and education all in the same post? Such riches!

Ah yes, the classic government lie.

Say you can't afford a vital public service and then spend billions on a war, digital mass surveillance and your mate's buddy's friend's COVID-19 testing kit services down the pub.

Good to read you Riley, hope you are fine.

In France there is a doctor in neuroscience who has specialized in screens and childhood. He has written two books, one called TV lobotomie and the other one, La Fabrique du crétin digital (the factory of digital moron). The result of his research and all the researches worldwide lead to the same unambiguitous conclusion: computer schooling just doesn't work! No way, no debate. During a conference I attended two years ago, one guy in the audience tried to argued but Michel desmurget just told him that there existed no experiment demonstating otherwise. It is a failure.

This is interesting because I have always believed that Mars is a CIA front company of some sort. When I saw your headline, I knew the candy bar company would be Mars.

Are we sure that it's a "Western Education system"? Really? Whose ideology lays behind that? In the West, McKinsey focuses on "improving education". But McKinsey does exist in Russia, it has only changed its name for "YAKOV AND PARTNERS" (Яков и Партнёры).

The current fratricide in Ukraine has laid bare the veritable rot that pervades the Russian Federation, an entity borne out of the illegal and capricious dissolution of the USSR 31 years ago. Despite the geopolitical kabuki theatre taking place worldwide, what we're witnessing IMHO is an updated version of the inter-imperialist rivalry which culminated in 1914 with the outbreak of WWI. Whether it's the "G7" or "BRICS" and their affiliated satrapies, it is above all a competition among leading gangster states over who will preside over the updated, digitalized version of imperialist rapine.

Charlotte Isserbyt wrote a huge tome entitled "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" http://deliberatedumbingdown.com/ddd/

“The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America — A Chronological Paper Trail”, will change forever the way you look at your child’s education. Written by whistleblower Charlotte T. Iserbyt, it is the result of what she discovered while working in the US Department of Education and her subsequent research on the subject. First published in 1999, the original edition of the book contains 743 pages replete with documentation of the policies, conversations and events that led up to the way our educational system is run today.

Riley, you're back! Yes! And just as insightful and wry as ever.
