Book Review: "Cloning Of The American Mind" By B.K. Eakman

‘Cloning Of The American Mind: Eradicating Morality Through Education’ is a comprehensive indictment on the sinister nature of the modern day education system.
The book begins with the deliberate big brother testing tactics from Pennsylvania. Through the Educational Quality Assessment (EQA), our tax supported public schools have collected personal information via “attitudes, worldviews and opinions” culled from non-educational queries. Forget the fact that student IQs have been sliding downward, let’s mold their independent ideas into a programmed state with suggestive questions. Then, repeat those questions through the life of their public education until they yield to the pressure of conformity.
Collecting information extends beyond the classroom as surveys by mail flood post office hubs nationwide. Most effective are the political party surveys meant to extract contributions, in the guise of collecting constituent’s views on ‘hot button’ issues, and to permanently affix a label on each contributor as a future source of income.
Today, marketing deals with information gathering in an invasive manner to determine predictors using individual variables.
Then, there is the “information underground” who unearth your ‘private’ data for resale. As Ms. Eakman explains,” For a price, the intelligence underground superbureaus like Tracers Worldwide in Elmhurst, Illinois, will produce your unpublished phone number, the location of your safe deposit box, the latest credit charges on all your various accounts, a list of your phone calls (local and long distance), your income tax forms, workman’s compensation records, mortgage payment records, marital history and driving records.”
Big brother isn’t the only one watching you these days. He’s been joined by little sister, third cousin ‘what’s his name’ and crazy uncle, Leroy.
Getting back to the children, when the tests are completed, many groups have access to the results. For example, 29 organizations can view the National Assessment.
To expedite the transfer of information among school institutions, a system called SPEEDE/ ExPRESS was implemented. SPEEDE/ExPRESS stands for Standardization of Postsecondary Education Electronic Data Exchange/ Exchange of Permanent Records Electronically for Students. No doubt a child with ADD would never be able to spit out that entire title in one sitting! On a side note, my father cured ADD years ago with one really good, politically incorrect spanking.
The danger of SPEEDE/ ExPRESS is that it also easily enables the “transfer of records among government agencies, corporations and countless other entities.”
In addition to students, B.K. Eakman’s “Cloning Of The American Mind” also touches on the pressure of conformity applied to teachers.
Thus, teachers of students whose beliefs do not change over time, and who will not use the “psychological strands” provided by the department head in his or her subject area, may be judged “ineffective.” While tenure may protect some teachers for a time, there are other ways to get rid of them- such as giving them students with the worst behavior problems every year.”
Through the “unified coding system”, students now have a “permanent record” that can be referenced by law enforcement agencies, potential employers and, no doubt, a litany of hackers, creeps and people that go bump in the night. The book explains that this is one short step before DNA microchipping.
The author spends time explaining the causes that led to the cavernous moral changes in American culture. Among them, she lists the introduction of rock music, drugs and behavioral sciences.
Eakman exposes some interesting techniques in use today, such as: opinion molding, consensus building and the science of coercion. She also points the finger at tax exempt foundations; many formed by the Rockefeller dynasty.
The connections are made to a harvesting of molded minds with the vision of a New World Order. Nationalism is treated as a “mental illness.” What ever happened to reading, writing and arithmetic?
This book is not a one sitting read but I can honestly say that no pages are wasted. The information is invaluable particularly if you had no clue (like me) about what is going on today in our schools. It’s absolutely dreadful.
However, unlike many books that cry foul but leave no solutions, Bev Eakman lays out a solid plan on how to take back our schools from the ‘mad scientists.’
Cloning Of The American Mind” by B.K. Eakman is an extremely important book to add to your reading list.
