Renowned educator Condoleeza Rice is taking charge of Jeb Bush’s Foundation for Excellence while Bush runs for President.
Former Secretary of State Rice established her credentials in K-12 education when she co-chaired a task force with Joel Klein at the Council on Foreign Relations, which concluded that public education in America was so dreadful that it threatened our national security.

Just as David Coleman and his mother have done (she was the president of Bennington College), Condi has added her voice to the narrative of the failing American public schools. She’d probably agree with Bill Gates, who declared that high schools are obsolete. It might just be a story, but what a powerful story it has become.

Funny way of framing it, in a bitter sort of way.
Just finished reading articles about NC UNC system Board of Governors ousting the pres of the system for possible political reasons.
The Bush family has always taken care of Condi. She is the proud grand daughter of a Presbyterian minister. As am I. But I can’t figure her out even after reading her auto-biography. Mostly, I think, Condi knows what’s good for Condi.

One does not get to be invited into the Council on Foreign Relations without the endorsement of three other members and the approval of David Rockefeller. One doesn’t take a position at the CFR on a Task-Force for education reform without knowing exactly what one is expected to do, the mirage one is expected to create, the talking points one is expected to send rippling out to the media. She played her role well.
I do not care if Condoleeza Rice is the daughter of a minister and a professing Christian. She works with David Rockefeller who has admitted to working against the best interests of the U.S. She works for the CFR which is devoted to eradicating our republic and replacing it with a world government. In my book, that amounts to treason. Considering her as a presidential running mate should be abhorrent to any patriotic American who loves this country. The fact that it is actually plausible is evidence that the general population is truly brainwashed and ignorant of history, even very recent history. A sad commentary…
In his memoir on page 405, David Rockeller writes, “Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) 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’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”.
Another Rockefeller excerpt:
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”

Dawn, I greet you from the other side of the “populist” political spectrum. It isn’t so much a global government as a global economic order, the same one that is meeting now in Davos. All the governments bow to the oligarchy.
Condi’s career is a trail of dots connecting the Iraq War to Walmart, and they run through our schools. We should opt out every time somebody asserts that our job is to supply human beings to met the needs of global markets, or to maintain our country’s position in the global economy.
Your mention of the Rockefellers caused a couple of dots to connect in my own mind. The ocean oil tankers are the progenitors of today’s great container ships and the monster overfishing factories.
My oceanography students spent this week of studying ocean surface currents. We considered the Kon Tiki voyage, Ben Franklyn’s first map of the the Gulf Stream, the Triangle Trade, and the arctic passage found by a cargo of yellow rubber ducks that fell off a container ship into the Kuroshio Current on their way to Walmart.
We watched Planet Ocean yesterday. Check it out. Watch from 50 to 1:02 minutes. It is a breathtaking visual track from the oil tankers to a portrait of the container cargo port of Shanghai.

Why is the audio clip described as a “voice simulation” in that video?
LikeLike
Voice simulation. Point noted. The fact that he made this speech in 1991 has been corroborated. If you had any historical frame of reference, had read Tragedy and Hope by Prof. Carroll Quigley, read anything by Prof. Antony Sutton, or had done any research at all into the activities of David Rockefeller, you would know that it would be typical for him to say something like this. I am glad you are so determined to make sure the source is valid.
I am curious if you apply this same level of skepticism when you watch the “news” on TV. My point is that Rockefeller has been controlling the media, what gets said and what doesn’t get said for many decades now. The CFR is central to that endeavor. Condoleeza Rice is complicit in all of this. She doesn’t deserve any respect for what she has done in the past or speculation about what she will do in the future. She and David are both traitors to our country. Her intrusion into education reform is illegitimate.
It is people who trust Rockefeller and the UN and do not question their motivations when we observe their destructive actions who allow the deception to go on and on and on. You love to pick at me in the hopes of finding some flaw in my arguments. Go for it. I am not intimidated by you. I only bother to respond to your accusations because other people may read your posts and call mine into question (which is your aim.)
I stand by the validity of this quote:
“We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”
David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.

Dawn, if I can’t convince you that it actually matters whether something can be verified, I cannot convince you of anything. I don’t know whether David Rockefeller said what you claim he said. Frankly, I’m curious. But I also know that when you pasted in the quotation here, you also didn’t know whether he had actually said it, and that speaks volumes. Absolutely, assume that my intention is to discredit you personally; I’m comfortable with that assumption.
