Executive Summary of a Plan for A Fundamental Reform of Illinois' Tax and Education Systems
By Bruno Behrend
Illinois is in deep crisis Before the 2006 elections, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich announced a grand new scheme to "fund education" with yet another application of Illinois Lottery money. In this scheme, the lottery was to be "privatized," with the proceeds to be used for funding schools. His opponent, Judy Baar Topinka, ran on a platform of giving Mayor Daley his coveted Chicago Casino. These are more examples of the lack of seriousness on the part of Illinois’ political class. Illinois elected officials are basically playing shell games with state revenue streams while ignoring the State's looming financial debacle. Something must be done to break the tax-and spend cycle that plagues Illinois. This document summarizes a real plan for reform. Unlike the Governor's and the legislature's shell games and Band-Aids, it actually solves specific problems. Let’s start by defining what those problems are. Illinois needs radical financial reform, not Tax Increases State of Illinois would be considered legally bankrupt if it were held to the standards of the private sector, and even some states. Most legislators believe we can tax or grow our way out of the problem. We can't. Tax increases will only provide incentives for more individuals and businesses to leave Illinois. Though politically difficult, combining spending cuts with a change in Illinois tax structure is a superior solution. The question is, “Where is it possible to cut?” The answer is to curtail the massive spending increases in the state's broken and unsustainable education bureaucracy. If we make the transition to smaller and more effective education system, we can create dynamic benefits for Illinois children and taxpayers. The Fundamental Reform Plan summarized in this document details the numerous benefits of dramatic reform, the most important of which include; • A large phased in tax cut for most Illinois citizens and businesses • Equalized funding for Illinois' school children • A dramatic increase in Local Control of schools • A dynamic education system that is there for the citizens - not politically powerful interests • Increased revenues for the State Government.

Prepared by Berit Kjos......Has our education system failed America's children? Not in the minds of "progressive" educators and utopian globalists. They have yet to fulfill their revolutionary vision, but they are well on their way to a tragic victory. So while you and I decry the destruction of an academic system that produced nearly 100% literacy (at least in California) -- seventy years ago, others cheer the changes that have traded facts for fantasy, truth for myths, academics for collective socialization and individual thinking for group manipulation. It happened slowly -- largely through stealth and deception. Today's educational establishment, birthed over a century ago by John Dewey and his associates, learned early the tactics of social transformation: infiltration, propaganda, secret councils and continual multiplication through networks of influential new organizations. New York city Mayor John Hylan described it well back in 1922, "... the real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, State and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of self-created screen. It seizes in its long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."[1] D. L. Cuddy. This malignant "octopus" grew until its tentacles reached around the world. Strengthened by its countless affiliates -- including tax-exempt foundations that shared its vision and funded its programs -- NEA leaders and their international partners won power and influence in every strategic corner of the world. All along the way, they were molding minds that would fit their quest for a new world order. From the beginning, they were determined to destroy the old education system in order to build the collective world of their dreams. Reporting to the annual NEA meeting in 1935, Willard Givens (soon-to-be executive secretary) wrote: "...many drastic changes must be made.... A dying 'laissez-faire' must be completely destroyed and all of us, including the 'owners', must be subjected to a large degree of social control.... The major function of the school is the social orientation of the individual. It must seek to give him understanding of the transition to a new social order."[2] Samuel Blumenfeld. Psychology would provide the "scientific" tools for that transition. Dewey -- who equated individual thinking with insanity -- had begun experiments with behavioral psychology even before 1900. Half a century later, B.F. Skinner outlined the practical steps to behavioral control. "Operant conditioning shapes behavior as a sculptor shapes a lump of clay," he wrote in Science and Human Behavior (1953).

By Liberty...
In the fifteenth century some guy on traveling on a horse add numerical markings to phrases and sentences. He split Gods Word into sections and gave them numerical markings. We call these markings today Chapters and Verses. The God inspired writers didn't put them there. The God inspired writers wrote the books, letters, poems and songs to be read as “ Books” “Letters” “Poems” and “Songs” and for the meaningful understanding of their story. God wants us to use that understanding of His Story's and Communications to understand His will, not only to live by but also to use in accomplishing the commissions he's laid out in them. I'm not saying this was anything demonic or done for any other reason than to make it easy to go back and find or reference certain sentences or phrases of thought. But, I am saying this has resulted in people reading the God's word out of context the majority of the time. i.e. If you take one phrase ( verse ) out of a book ( context ) you have removed it from it's context. No sentence (verse) explains a story. The simple act of removing sentences and phrases form their contextual locations and compiling them into a sermons or positions has created thousands of different church's,secs and cults with the numbers growing daily. This is a constant every day event within every church. They are constantly splitting. As soon as a denomination gets started it starts splitting. How many different Baptist churches are there or Episcopalian or Christian, or Church of Christ or on and on... I have sat and watched many take scattered phrases of Gods Word and apply them to the strangest non-biblical worldly positions and when people go to look-up all the verses ( phrases) presented they say ..Yep that's the verse he used and then go along with what ever he was trying to get them to do. We have seen every form of sin proclaimed by God justified and accepted by someone quoting some certain verse or a piece mill of verses ( phrases ) in the Bible. Or with a sentence here and a sentence their create a whole new personal religion with thousands who follow because ...Yep that's the sentence he read and yep there's the other one, he must be inspired. Just ask anyone in Brooklyn, Indiana about the Landers mansion. We also see another result of this when we hear all those who say “ that's your interpretation “ or “everyone has their own interpretation” or “ that's one interpretation “ and by doing so completely discredits God's true words as authority in the act, especially with those who are searching. Hum.. funny how we don't hear much of that about other books. Didn't we read God writing through John in His book of revelations say that anyone who adds to His Book will have plagues added to them? I guess some have thought that must mean added written sections of words but, I pose this. Written sections of words that don't sync with the rest of the book would be easily spotted and assumed not part of the inspired original work thus making it a non-fruitful attempt by satan to deceive us . BUT, now I think we can see the most damaging thing that can be added aren't words, but the numbers that was " added ”. Numbers that has separated and fragmented it's meaning and by doing so His people. If we read and study the books in the Bible as we should and as often as a Christian should we will have no problem flipping to the spot we want to show someone quickly and easily. I read once of how the teachers of the law knew the words but didn't understand their meaning. I suggest we go for the context because that's the only place we will find the understanding and meaning of the God's Word. The phrases will still stick in our minds and in our hearts but with the accuracy of their true intended meaning. Satan isn't referred to as the "Great Deceiver " for nothing. He's the Micheal Jordan of deception which means you won't even know when you're being deceived. You can fined the Bible without these additions if you look hard enough. .

by Liberty... I know it can be confusing at times but when you read the New Testament for meaning, not by "numerical verses" which were added by more recent man but in full context you will see that all responsibility is personal. Individual. All relationships with Christ and others are personal. Individual. This isn't by command but by human design and thats by Christ. According to the Word no man can get to Heaven because he's with a group. There are no group tickets sold for that event but they do offer individual tickets for free if you choose to follow. If it's not in ones personal heart it has no value to God in Heaven. That go's for all things, even good deeds and giving. MT 6: Whats done before man is reward by man whats done only before God ( secret ) is rewarded in Heaven. Because the value is in the heart felt purpose not the act. Anyone ever talk about what good things they have done? You may get your praise and recognition by man but according to the Word....you will have received it in full (on earth). In the same way our forgiveness to those who sin against us has to be PERSONAL and from our INDIVIDUAL heart because we will be forgiven in the same way we forgive. Yes there are references to groups of Christian churches to how to operate and such and Yes Christ referenced their failures and calls some out in Revelations but as a group who's members were individually infected with sin. Now, it can't be any other way. It's all personal responsibility. All relationship with Christ are personal. All forgiveness to for each other must be personal. No church, or preacher or priest or GOVERNMENT makes any difference. That is how the human mans brain, social physics were all created. Because each of us have been given a different heart each has a been given Personal Responsibly. A government can't be compassionate or caring or Christian because it has no individual heart and soul thats required to feel that sentiment. Each citizen can though and that's the only place the responsibility sits. Trying to squeeze heart felt emotions out of a ink printed name on paper of a group ( GOVERNMENT) is as stupid as trying to start a fire with water. Just like Bobby Knight said folks if you don't master the fundamentals you'll never understand how to play the game and you will constantly loose. Now that the fundamentals are understood let play ball. People who break the law of the land the Word tells us to "live by " have a certain PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY to the society that prescribes the penalty. If you are fined for speeding and then you say " I've seen the light and will never speed again" The judge will say " Good, then you won't have to pay the 100 buck your paying now again". The judge may PERSONALLY forgive them but the agreed upon ( voted for) system we established as a civil society to live by must be kept in order for it to exist. And God tells us to live by it. Jesus referenced warnings of prison/jail for those who commits crimes against another but he never condemned the jail or prison or even the need for them. His Word also says uses shame if Christians can't deal with their own so the worldly law doesn't have to. He also told us in His Word to not forget those in the prison but He didn't ever condemn the jails or prison because He's the one who designed the fallibilities of man so we can have things to overcome and be able to make the PERSONAL CHOICE to repent of those fallibilities and follow ( CHOOSE) Jesus. Other wise it would be by default and that wouldn't be from the PERSONAL heart. When you show compassion to those in prison by visiting and accepting them as real humans in conversations and relationships it can mean a lot to them. There are vast numbers of people in a prison ministry that are doing that every day just like Christ says. Through these relationships prisoners are shown that God has not forgotten them. They are of the same value to Him as anyone and His offer is still on the table. And, if they repent and accept Christ as their Savior the the price paid on the Cross covers their ticket cost too, just as it would anybody else's. Oh what a beautiful day that will be. Now, Jesus has a witness in a prison where he can be of great value to the Lord. Like Jonah he may not want to go that route but if God needs him there, who are we to try to take him away from there. Since Jesus tries to teach us in His Word that the value of life is found in Heaven and that His Reward is Heavenly, not on earthly. What we are doing here is not a reward but hard work, tough choices and Personal Responsibility as we prepare other for His kingdom. Kinda like .. we already have the ticket paid for and we are waiting for the train. So while we're waiting we are showing others how to get in on the free ticket thing and inviting them to take the trip with us. Some are standing on the train platform in Indy, Some on platforms at a Haiti orphanage, some on platforms in Iraq and yes some are waiting on the platform at the Indiana State Prison. I rejoice for them too for they have overcome and received the reward of eternal life. They also have a richer harvest field more plentiful than any. If we try to take that away from Him...........That reminds me of what Jesus said to Peter when he did something very similar and tried to save Jesus from the wrath of the law........" But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, because you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but on man’s " Can you find that in the Book of Matthew ? . (Read Matthew in full for context.)
WOW, I'm really glad Peter didn't get his way and help Jesus out of that....aren't you ?. Go and read Matthew and see... Humm.... I wonder if our founders understood that God given Personal Responsibility thing is the only way it would work when forming this nation on His principles ? . I would have given more Scripture verses (Verses meaning numerical marked phrases added to the Bible by more recent man) but I would rather people read the books and letters in context because that's where truth and understanding will be found.

Written by Liberty.. This is in response to two articles in the newspaper. Not to be the one to blow out the torch on the socialist trophy of " re-definition control " or refused to have my toes licked by the tongue of liberal propaganda ( the required tool for their mere existence ) but the infected's ongoing quest for control over perceived knowledge and definitions has to be checked and exposed at every turn. Let just say it's part of the defense system that protects Liberty. Last night I started to research this and feel I have to point out and expose some of their liberal motive. First, the paper here, has two articles on this subject at the same time. One proudly proclaiming a significant, " never before" First Time" report by the liberal University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Liberal Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funded by Annenburg and Titled " Report reveals healthiest counties " CLICK HERE "or if not a subscriber to the Paper CLICK HERE Having already researched the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation push for obama care back during the " obama care " campaign and knowing their make-up and funding I knew exactly what the report was going to promote and the article states It well " The report is designed to help public health and community leaders, policy-makers, consumers and others see how healthy their county is, compare it with other counties within their state, and find ways to improve the health of their community. " . YEP you guessed it folks" obamacare" or the take over and socialization of the free citizens health care system. Robert Woods Johnson Foundation is part of the system of liberal foundations who's queen bee is the Annenberg Foundation who's funded the Bill Ayers project "Annenberg Challenge" and ooP's who did he appoint to the board ? yep, his radical friend Barrack obama who together promoted their radical education ideas and funneled more than $100 million into the hands of community organizers and radical education activists. . CLICK HERE FOR ARTICLE. Now Annenberg has a long history and mission to control the definitions and perceived thoughts through propaganda . Remember folks, Americans aren't used to this. The traditional American has generally always operated on seeking truths, principle, honor and integrity. We aren't used to socialism and the propaganda techniques used to control of the two required things to sustain it and those are one's thoughts and actions. Thus, Annenberg Public Policy Center started FACKCHECK.ORG and appointed two left wing reporters from CNN and Time Mag, Viveca Novak and Brooks Jackson ( who also started the same "factcheck" scheme for CNN ) to run it. CLICK HERE...SEE THEIR BIO's ON THEIR SITE. The deception ( propaganda) used to try and hide this attempt at to hijack the truth and facts and use them to elect and promote socialism agenda didn't go unnoticed by the leftist feminist group " Association for Women in Communications (AWC) " who's dedicated to leading progressive change in communication professions through information exchange." I didn't write that, that's from their website folks. SEE it HERE. Now who did this group who is "dedicated to leading progressive change" award their coveted " Clarion award for election coverage" to ?????... envelope please...i can't wait...surly it's someone who best supported their cause......YES..YES...YES !!!! It's Annenberg's FACKCHECK.ORG clap..clap..clap. Now, they have taken the next step in their mission to control the definitions and perceived thoughts through propaganda to the teacher unions who fund the same liberal causes .....yep.....FactCheckEd.org is an educational resource for high school teachers and students. " It’s designed to help students learn to cut through the fog of misinformation" CLICK HERE to see for your self. ooP's This will probably make those parent's who sentenced their children to GEC mad. ..Nah. Now lets bring this back to the article. The report the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (who campaigns for obama care and funded by Annenburg ) thats titled "“County Health Rankings ” Report reveals healthiest counties " CLICK HERE TO SEE ARTICLE " is full of data that is 90% subjective politically and open for debate on it's relevance of the state of health in our county but yet is presented as and to establish authority of the matter. It uses criteria such as Education, Employment, Income, Family and Social support. CLICK TO SEE SITE And since is written by those who campaign for obamacare is highly and suspiciously viewed as another continual punch in the face of the American public that overwhelmingly is against obamacare and the socialist take over of the control of each and everyone of our lives. It also shows the deceit and corrupt collaboration and use of " layered overwhelming protection "( I'll pen this LOP ) through all the connected foundations and and groups all with a centralized collaborated effort to promote obama's hope for socialist change. lets see....hum....does obamas organizing arm ACORN and its hundreds of sub names and groups ring a bell.? LOP is socialist scheme that will overwhelm a system with excessive layers to make it to confusing for investigators to figure out. Nothing new. The MOB has always used it to cover-up their crime tracts. The Idea is to make to costly to unravel and thus, freely living outside the law , laundery money and funds into private pockets etc. Ever wonder what happened to the stimulus billions that went to zip codes that didn't exist ? Ever wondered why the attorney general won't investigate ? Just asking. I'm not against everyone trying to improve their health. I'm all out for that. But, people don't compete with others to see whos can be healthier that another. The whole concept of this approach of competition can only effect one group who is easily motivated to compete in the eyes of the public and that's the politicians. Even the paper has two articles written by the same writer on the same day. SEE # 1 to proclaim the " Oh WOW " then SEE # 2 instigating the reaction that only serves policy change. And after all the sifting trough all the goody “Kum Bah Ya” public image stuff that's the sole reason for all this. It's the deeper extremes of deceit that brings us here that outrages me. I also say all this to warn my friends and neighbors, that anyone who sees or hears someone or group trying to take ownership of reality by hijacking the perceived definitions of facts using a website or program proclaiming they are the Fact Checkers or they have Snooped the truth be ware. This is becoming the standard tactic of the socialist, who can only exist through re-definition control , and thinks they are clever to to have thought of it. If you aren't afraid of the the teacher union thugs, call your child's school and make it known to not expose your children to this sneaky crap. ( sorry to use the "C" word but the thesaurus couldn't provide an better one ) Be prepared to duck.
