This is a wonderful lady who has spent decades in the education system uncovering and exposing the true agenda of the people at the top of the education departments. A brave lady.
Antony Cyril Sutton (February 14, 1925 - June 17, 2002) was a British born economist, historian and writer. He was an economics professor at California State University Los Angeles and studied at the universities of London, Goettingen and California and received his D.Sc. degree from University of Southampton, England. He was a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution from 1968 to 1973. During his time at the Hoover Institute he wrote the major study Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development, detailing how the West played a major role in developing Soviet Union from its very beginnings up until the present time (1970). He was forced out of the Hoover Institute after publishing National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union in 1973. CIA Director Glenn Campbell threatened Sutton saying, "you will not survive," pertaining to academia.
Sutton's next 3 major published books detailed Wall Street's involvement in the rise of the Bolshevik Revolution, Adolf Hitler and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He then set his work towards exposing secret societies, namely the Trilateral Commission and the Skull & Crossbones (The Brotherhood of Death). Sutton considered his book America's Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones to be his most important work.
His work on the formation of the major socialist movements in the early 20th century are largely ignored by mainstream historians, but are certainly well known in the academic community. Professor Richard Pipes of Harvard noted: "In his three-volume detailed account of Soviet Purchases of Western Equipment and Technology ..." Sutton comes to conclusions that are uncomfortable for many businessmen and economists. For this reason his work tends to be either dismissed out of hand as 'extreme' or, more often, simply ignored."
The co-founder of the Trilateral Commission and national security advisor to Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote: "For impressive evidence of Western participation in the early phase of Soviet economic growth, see Antony C. Sutton's Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development: 1917-1930, which argues that 'Soviet economic development for 1917-1930 was essentially dependent on Western technological aid' (p.283), and that 'at least 95 per cent of the industrial structure received this assistance.' (p. 348)."

Are you blind? You don't see these exact things unfolding right before our eyes? Do you read or watch any alternative news? This is all coming to light.
Germans didn't lose the war. They just had to move. They've been Ruling the states for over 50 years. Much information coming out in the last 3 years.

I guess that you're right. Some things on this very web site confirm Iserbyt's fears. For example, regarding her warnings that the purpose of the US education system is partly, "to use the schools to change America from a free, individual nation to a socialist, global 'state,' just one of many socialist states which will be subservient to the United Nations Charter, not the United States Constitution", I have to say that this guy could be considered to be evidence.
I know no-one likes to hear "I told you so", but "I told ya so". Hehe! Just kidding of course. We're all struggling with the disbelief of the events that are unfolding in front of our eyes. There are several people who have been reporting consistently from inside sources for several years about these exact events. Webster Tarpley, Benjamin Fulford, Max Keiser come to mind. Ummm.......do you think that you might perhaps give the Iserbyt Award thingy a second thought. You've also got a guy on there that I know by the name of ChristopherABrown that is working with some very important people on his Article V convention and the "Greater Meaning of Free Speech" amendment. It is garnering momentum as we speak. Just a thought.
You cited three authors other than Charlotte Iserbyt. Have you actually read what those authors wrote, or are you just regurgitating citations that you think back your narrative?
I ask, because ChristopherABrown inspired the Iserbyt Award, for a combination of accomplishments, one of which is that he continues to cite Iserbyt's book when he openly admits that he hasn't read her book. That's just dumb, and it's an example of the kind of "dumbed down" American that Iserbyt was warning about. Do you see the irony here? He's citing her book about the 'dumbing down' of Americans as he willfully dumbs himself down by refusing to even read the book that he cites. He cites it because he thinks that it backs the narrative that he's pushing, but actually Iserbyt's book says the opposite. And that's how I can tell that you are also not familiar with Iserbyt, even though you're citing her to back your narrative just like ChristopherABrown.
If you were familiar with Iserbyt, then you would know that the issue that she's obsessed with is the idea that a communist conspiracy is working to indoctrinate children with "values education", which is aimed at "brainwashing our children, starting at birth, to reject individualism in favor of collectivism", and "to reject truth and absolutes in favor of tolerance, situational ethics and consensus". She says that the aim is to subvert the US Constitution from within.
Why then, would anybody cite her in support of a proposal to add, "forgiveness, tolerance, acceptance, respect, trust, friendship and love, protecting life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," to the First Amendment? She rants very clearly against teaching children liberal values like, "tolerance", as a way of subverting the Constitution but you think that she would support a proposal to add the word, "tolerance", to the First Amendment? It's very obvious that you have no idea what Iserbyt has spent her entire life preaching, yet you're trying to cite her to back your narrative, exactly like ChristopherABrown.
ChristopherABrown inspired the Iserbyt Awards for three separate reasons. One reason was that, like Charlotte Iserbyt and her far-right extremist conspiracy theories, he preaches a crackpot ideology. The second reason is that he's an example of the precise variety of 'dumbed-down' American that Iserbyt warned about, with a relativistic value system. The third reason is where he cites Iserbyt's book, which he has confirmed that he has not read, willfully dumbing himself down and then admitting it. For stubbornly refusing to either read the book or stop citing it, even after learning that it doesn't say what he thinks that it says.
You're the third documented case that I've run across in the last year of somebody citing Charlotte Iserbyt who obviously has not read her book. Who obviously doesn't know much about what she has spent her entire life preaching. All three examples, sadly, are evidence that she's at least partly right. Not about the secret fifth-column Soviet conspiracy within the US federal government, but about the 'dumbing down' of Americans.

I named the Iserbyt Award for her.

lol OWS' libertarian moles eat their own
The Federal Government needs to get the hell out of the education business. It has no place being there. When Federal Government gets involved in the education, the propensity for propaganda and indoctrination is too easily done. The power mongers can't help themselves.
It starts with getting rid of the the Teachers Unions and forces the teachers to start getting paid based on the results of there students instead of tenure. Pay for results will fix our education system.
I agree. We need real commitment from teachers and we need real results. No results, no pay. Simple.
What a great idea. We need these kinds of creative thinking with education and in other areas of life as well.

LOL.. and on the other hand you want free education? How do you reconcile your demand for free education with this particular demand that govt not be involved in it?
Well I guess, OWS hippies can demand anything. You don't necessarily need to be logical.
Through State government, not Federal.
And that will be any different how?
It will not be as conveniently manipulated as it is more dispersed, less centrally controlled.
I just love you naivete
Oh yes, bail out every 'bankster' and fund every ridiculous war - but no money should be spent on building the U.S.A.
I stand vindicated.
