Oregon Prepares Its American Indian Students For Failure With Freebies

By: Bruce Gilley September 07, 2022part 1 of 2

When states likeOregon put equity over quality, students suffer, no matter how little tuition they pay.

The fall semester is getting underway and with it comes a de facto residential school system for Native American college students in Oregon with all the costs, none of the benefits, and many new harms.

In May, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced free college, including housing, for all students who claim American Indian ancestry in the state. Under the Oregon Tribal Student Grant program, the students will get free tuition, housing, books, and “other costs not covered by other grants” for both undergraduate and graduate studies at public and some private colleges and universities in the state.

Michigan and Montana already offer free tuition to Native American students, along with a handful of public universities, notably the University of California system. But Oregon is the first state to go all-in with wrap-around costs for housing and incidentals.

Oregon taxpayers are on the hook for $19 million for the program’s first year, or $27,000 per student for the expected 700 enrollees(450 have applied so far). Brown wants it to be a “model” for the whole country and has asked for two more years of funding.

Revisionist History of Indian Residential Schools

The changes are a response to the moral panic that gripped the American left in 2021 when false claims of “unmarked graves” at Canada’s former Indian residential schools were made. That prompted Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to launch a review of the 408 original Indian residential schools (including nine in Oregon) that existed in the U.S., most of which closed a century ago.

The resulting report charged that the schools inflicted “intergenerational trauma” on today’s Native Americans.

Democratically-controlled federal and state governments have been scrambling to assuage their guilt ever since. In the process, they are inflicting real harm on students who identify as Native American and are sticking taxpayers with wasteful open-ended entitlements.

For their time and place, the Indian residential schools in both Canada and the United States were appropriate interventions to bring American Indian youth out of tribal society and into the modern world. They were also enormously popular with their parents. Paying the full costs made sense back then to get the students into the educational system.

Today, the Department of the Interior still funds 183 residential and non-residential Indian schools at the K-12 level, mostly tribe-operated. The department indignantly maintains that “in sharp contrast to the policies of the past, these schools aim to provide a quality education to students from across Indian Country and to empower Indigenous youth to better themselves and their communities.”

The data suggest otherwise.The tribal schools are longhouses of failure. They cost 60 percent more per student than average public schools and are rife with miseducation, absenteeism, tribal rent-seeking, and anti-American indoctrination.

Failing Up

Nonetheless, Oregon is extending this K-12 failure into higher education. There are already 34 government-funded tribal colleges and universities in the nation that Native American students pay little or nothing to attend. Average graduation rates were an abysmal26 percent in 2019, according to Department of

Education data, a bracing achievement given that the institutions are pre-committed to graduating any student with a pulse.

Median earnings three years after graduation, meanwhile, are only $25,000, over a third lower than for American college graduates as a whole.

It is an old adage that anything that is free is not worth having. It’s particularly true in college education, where students must be highly motivated and internally directed to plan for, choose, excel in, and then make good use of their credentials.

Non-native college students should thank their lucky stars that Democrats are not trying to impose similar systems on them, even though a 2021 analysis in Oregon found embarrassingly that white students face the same challenges of paying for college as Indian students in the state. This makes a mockery of the state’s claim that such a race-based program is needed for “eliminating college affordability barriers” for Native American students…

The Oregon program will no doubt boost the “output” metric of Native Americans showing up on campus. That might have been a reasonable assumption for the old Indian residential grade schools but not for higher education in modern society. Native American students should be ready to join other citizens in saving for, paying for, and rationally calculating the costs and benefits of their own college educations. This includes valuing it and putting efforts into it precisely because one is paying for it.

The $9,000 gap in annual income between white and Native American bachelor’s degree holders in Oregon 10 years after graduation — mainly driven by degree choices, academic performance, later job choices, and of course job performance but which Democrats reductively attribute to “racism” — is certain to widen under this program.

When Leftists Put Equity Over Quality

The universities, meanwhile, are promising to compound the harm by delivering to the Native American students not the latest cutting-edge knowledge presented in an atmosphere of vigorous debate, but degraded woke education tailored for native students who are presumably not smart or resilient enough to survive in modern society. Portland State University president Stephen Percy promised “to create a welcoming educational environment for Indigenous students” through “the emerging integration of Indigenous knowledge and focus across many of our programs.”

If the universities do not go far enough, native radicals will push them anyways. “We still have the heavy work of when you get inside the institution… because these institutions do not mirror our indigenous culture,” a tribal member who is a professor at Portland State University told local television in May. In this view, the students are “decolonizing” the public institutions that should by rights be controlled by them anyways since they sit on “stolen land”, a farcical claim that every Oregon public college and university now accepts with an official land acknowledgment.

Gov. Brown was surely correct in May when she promised that the new system would “profoundly impact the future of Oregon’s tribal students.” If she had bothered for a moment to take off her “equity lens” and put on instead an “individual responsibility and freedom” lens, she would realize how profoundly negative this impact will be.

Theprogram will create a victim mentality in American Indian residential schoolsystems whose inter-generational trauma will be sure to keep those students failing and resentful of their failure. This will generate sub-standard outcomes for those students, thus providing further “evidence” of marginalization, systemic racism, and the need for equity-based special needs programs. This is called a perpetual motion machine, which while impossible in physics is entirely possible in politics.

As the Oregon model spreads to other states, Americans of goodwill who actually care about better outcomes for Native American youth should work with their state representatives to ensure that such new residential dependency programs are defunded.

The Trilateral Commission established in 1973 was to destroy independent countries, society, education, unions and financial independence so the NWO takes over.

The top three goals were stated by Brezinski, American youth have too much freedom of speech, we need to stop that, so they devised inflitrating unions, education and religions along with other sections of the country. Education was a major focus, so they have been working at this since 1973, it's going on 50 years that they infiltrated education to make children stupider. They with their radicals removed civics, creative outlets like music, art (severly downgraded if not remove), history of the US, and started the victim mentionality with emotional learning. Wokeness is killing our nation. It must be stopped.

Any doubt on the question of TC goals is answered by David Rockefeller himself, the founder of the TC, in his Memoirs (2003): “Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”

lurk more or not at all, ty for reading a fascinating article.

I'm sure states are not all red or blue so find a blue area in your own state. Good luck with your victim mentality.

To Restore Americans’ Faith In Elections, Fix Sloppy Record-Keeping

By: John R. Lott, Jr and Steven M. Smith September 07, 2022

Unfortunately, election officials across the country are not keeping the most basic data to monitor election outcomes. Even when they say they do, the numbers do not come close to matching up.

It was a simple goal: match the number of voters with the number of ballots cast. After the last general election there were concerns that ballots were counted multiple times (so that there could be more ballots cast than voters who voted) and that ballots were destroyed (so that there could be more voters who voted than ballots cast). But, through our examination, we learned that it cannot be determined if these discrepancies exist, because most states and counties simply do not keep timestamped records of who voted as required by law.

The America First Policy Institute made public records requests based on state-specific laws for the top 100 most-populated counties in the traditional 14 swing states that typically determine presidential elections.Ninety-four of the 100 counties did not keep records of who voted in the 2020 election, and only two state-wide election officers had the records preserved. Equally disturbing, even in the six counties that did keep records, there was on average a 2.89 percent discrepancy between the number of people voting and the number of ballots cast.

In Miami-Dade, Florida, the discrepancy was about 1.6 percent — a difference of 16,617 votes. Ninety-two percent of the precincts had more recorded ballots cast than voters (for a total of 15,854), and the other 8 percent had more voters than ballots cast (763). Since 12 percent of precincts were missing records, we didn’t include those. That’s a discrepancy that can very well swing elections. For example, in 2018, Republican Rick Scott won Florida’s U.S. Senate seat by 10,033 votes.

Cobb County, Georgia, had a massive discrepancy of 34,893 votes, or 8.8 percent.All but one of the precincts had more ballots cast than voters. The gap was more than two and half times the 13,471 votes.

Bad Record-Keeping

The Federal Civil Rights Act of 1960 requires that “all records and papers… relating to any… act requisite to voting in such election [for federal office]” be kept for 22 months. But, within days after an election,we found that county election officials began updating their original digital voter list for when people move or die. Incredibly, they saved over the original computer file and did not retain a separate copy of the original file, thus making it impossible to match up the data. This could point to a need to educate election officials regarding the requirements under the law. What we know is that data storage is trivially inexpensive, and it would be easy to save a file time stamped on election day.

Montana as a Bad Example

Missoula, Montana’s entirely mail-in election shows why record-keeping is crucial. A January 4, 2021, recount of the 2020 election found 4,592 fewer envelopes than the County Election Office’s tally of 72,491 votes. That is a 6.33 percent difference in votes counted. A second March 28, 2022, recount found only 71 fewer envelopes than votes. During that recount, two more boxes of envelopes were discovered.

But it should be easy to alleviate people’s concerns about what happened. We should be able to simply watch the video of the envelope opening on election night and count the number of opened envelopes. Indeed, that is precisely why election officials make these videos. But there is a big problem. Missoula County erased the video shortly after the election.

New Effort to Preserve Records

After reviewing our findings regarding state and local officials not following the Civil Rights Act of 1960, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose of Ohio is now spearheading a national effort with the support of Secretary of State Mac Warner of West Virginia to ensure the preservation of election day files going forward. They are calling for states to pass legislation requiring the maintenance of digital, publicly accessible voter records.

Something needs to be done. Fifty percent of likely U.S. voters think it is likely that “widespread cheating will affect the outcome of this fall’s congressional elections,” including 35 percent of Democrats and 70 percent of Republicans.

If we can address and enforce the Civil Rights Act of 1960’s data retention requirements, we will be able to help restore confidence in our system. Americans could see a clear picture of who voted (not how they voted) in the general election, and any discrepancy could quickly and easily be addressed or investigated. Doing so will ensure it is easy to vote in America but harder to cheat.

Patrick Wood: Technocracy Rising Interview (Part 1 of 3)

Starting of the Trilateral Commission and their goals

Author Patrick Wood discusses his recent book "Technocracy Rising", in a 3-part interview. (Summary of parts, below) http://www.technocracyrising.com/

Patrick Wood is an author and lecturer who has studied elite globalization policies since the late 1970's, when he partnered with the late Antony C. Sutton to coauthorTrilaterals Over Washington, Volumes I and II. He remains a leading expert on the elitist Trilateral Commission, their policies and achievements in creating their self-proclaimed "New International Economic Order.”

An economist by education, a financial analyst and writer by profession and an American Constitutionalist by choice, Wood maintains a Biblical world view and has deep historical insights into the modern attacks on sovereignty, property rights and personal freedom. Such attacks are epitomized by the implementation of U.N. policies such as Agenda 21, Sustainable Development, Smart Growth and in education, the widespread adoption of Common Core.

Wood is a frequent speaker and guest on radio shows around the nation. His current research builds on Trilateral Commission hegemony, focusing on Transhumanism, Technocracy and scientism, and how these are co-opting economics, politics and religion around the world.

Part 1: Energy based Currency, Columbia University origins of Technocracy, Eugenics, Population Control, and Agenda 21, origins of Positivism and Scientism;

Part 2: Trilaterals, CFR, Rockefellers, U.N., 1992 Rio Conference, Agenda 21 and Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP);

Part 3: Wood's work with Antony C. Sutton, the Origins of the Trilateral Commission, Trilaterals and Larry King, and how the Trilateral Commission influenced the U.S. Govt. since 1973 to present day. Thanks to Ernie & Donna Hancock at FreedomsPhoenix.com for the use of their studio, and to Rick Malchow for his assistance in bringing you this interview.

Good basis of starting to learn all TLC and NWO, WEF, etc. about why we are at right now, and how society is being torn apart, to steal our freedom and liberty from all.
