This is for your mp3 player. This is to be burned on disc and taken on trips while you travel. This is to be played on your home stereo equipment while you cook, wash dishes, mop or scrub. This is to be played as you work in your shop, pull weeds in a garden or clean the garage. Don't neglect listening to this over and over and over again so as to have it's concepts be a part of you and have this information at the top of your mind as you throw wrenches---credible and effective wrenches---into the vicious machinery of Lucifer's public school system and those who uphold it when given the chance. (Inasmuch as there is a devil in hell, he indeed has authored the vicious system of compulsory schooling in the United States.)

“The United States is not the kingdom of God, neither is England, Germany, or France….Satan has control now. No matter where you look, he is in control, even in our own land. He is guiding the governments as far as the Lord will permit him. That is why there is so much strife, turmoil, and confusion all over the earth. One master mind is governing the nations….it is Satan himself.” (Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, Vol. 3, pp 314-15)

Satan, in control in our own land, even the United States, has a death grip on so called "education."

Lucifer and his agents have, with the current and compulsory American system brought forth "enforced priest craft," as Elder H. Verlan Anderson eloquently pointed out in his wonderful books.

Note, John Taylor Gatto right off acknowledges Brigham Young (the "American Moses" who lead a persecuted people across the plains and settled the intermountain west and a staunch upholder, promoter of education), in opposing Government involvement in schooling, particularly public monies being used.

Here is a snippet of what Brigham taught, taken from the Harvard graduate and BYU professor and LDS General Authority, H. Verlan Anderson's prized book "The Great and Abominable Church of the Devil:

The Views of Brigham Young

"If it be true that the socialized education does in fact constitute the sin of enforced priest craft, and if an education without God is a curse rather that a blessing, why have latter-day prophets not spoken out against it? It may come as a surprise to many that back during the days before public schools were common in Utah, but were being advocated in some quarters, the prophets made their stand very clear---they were opposed to the education of children with public funds. Later on, after the principle had been incorporated into the constitution and laws of the state, and the people had come to accept it, little was or has been said.

"Brigham Young, who was the prophet during those early days when the issue was being mostly hotly debated, fought valiantly against the adoption of tax-supported schools. He was bitterly criticized for so doing as the following excerpt from his general conference address of April 6, 1877 indicates:

' Many of you may have heard what certain journalists have had to say about Brigham Young being opposed to free schools. I am opposed to free education as much as I am opposed to taking property from one man and giving it to another who knows not how to take care of it. . . .

' But when you come to the fact, I will venture to say that I school ten children to every one that those do who complain so much of me. I now pay the school fee of a number of children who are either orphans or sons and daughters of poor people. But in aiding and blessing the poor I do not believe in allowing my charities to go through the hands of a set of robbers who pocket nine-tenths themselves, and give on-tenth to the poor. Therein is the difference between us: I am for the real act of doing and not saying. Would I encourage free schools by taxation? No! (JD 18:357)' " (H. Verlan Anderson, The Great and Abominable Church of the Devil, p. 137)

Joseph F. Smith, counselor to Brigham Young, and later 5th President of the LDS Church spoke against tax funded education:

"The government of the State has provided for the common schools up to the eighth grade, and meets the general expenses of these schools. The treasury of this state has provided for one of the best universities that can be found in any state in the Union; thoroughly equipped for the highest education in the land. The State Legislature has also provided out of the State treasury, for an agricultural college, a most worthy and efficient institution of instruction and training for the youth of the people of the state. In addition to these, we are having forced upon the people high schools throughout every part of the land. I believe that we are running education mad. I believe that we are taxing the people more for education than they should be taxed. This is my sentiment. And especially is it my sentiment when the fact is known that all these burdens are placed upon the tax payers of the state to teach the learning or education of this world. God is not in it. Religion is excluded from it. The Bible is excluded from it. And those who desire to have their children receive the advantages of moral and religious education are excluded from all these state organizations, and if we will have our children properly taught in principles of righteousness, morality and religion, we have to establish Church schools or institutions of education of our own, and thus the burdens of taxation are increased upon the people. We have to do it in order that our children may have the advantages of moral training in their youth. I know that I shall be criticized by professional "lovers of education," for expressing my idea in relation to this matter.

- President Joseph F. Smith General Conference, October 1915

Gatto points out that the last strong hold of resistance to coercive, intrusive, centralized, mandatory, compulsory government schooling was Cape Cod, Massachusetts in the 1880's where armed militia marched school children off to the government prison (school by coercion) for the young. All this was designed to "dumb them down" and make children turn out into stupid adults. The system has worked flawlessly.

Gatto too reports the President of Harvard, having eyes to see, revealing the "coup" that took place upon American education, which for obvious reasons, is obscured from the populace today.
