"' FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MIND-CONTROL PROGRAMS SUBVERT US EDUCATION GARY NULL (GN) (interviewer): There's a lot in our educational system that we're not teaching that should be a part of the curricula. I've invited someone who is now on the line. My guest is Beverly Eakman. She's an author. She's an educator. She is a per son concerned in the areas of politics, education and public affairs. She has served as the chief speech-writer for such figures as Richard Carlson, the Director of The Voice of America, and Chief Justice Warren BlI[ger. She has also written for various publications. Welcome to the program, Bev. Let's go to some allegat~ons. And I'd like you to address them in detail, with documentation for each allegation. BEVERLY EAKMAN (BE): Alright. The allegations in my loook, Educating for the New World Order, first and foremost are that the. [US] Federal Government is developing .and establishing curriculum in violation of federal law. The state governments have the right to establish curriculum, but not the federal government. Secondly, that testing and curriculum are connected to each other, and that both are coordinated and funded using federal dollars (and that is what took four years to uncover) in such a way that the federal government would pick up on it. Thirdly, that the OS Department of Education is in collusion with the Carnegie organi sation-:primarily with the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (there are others and they all trade money back and forth)-and that they are also in collusion with state education agencies, which they have revamped and restructured, so that they could help tum around the educational system ma completely different fashion, dedicat ing it to totally different ellds. That brings me right into the fourth allegation: Privacy Act violations are rampant, par ticularly with regard to the computerisation of ltesting and survey devices in conjunction with the use of social s.ecurity numbers and other identifiers which permit data to be linked with the federal and state computer systems. And, of course, that does readl to this dossier-building capability. Th.e fifth allegation is that state and federal education agencies are fraudulently passing off attitudinal, psychological and behavioural surveys, studies, tests and curricula as acad emic and substantive learning. In fact, Bob Gray of the Privacy Office up there in Washington, said that our best' case probably was fraud. He had the fraud hotline, as a m.aner of fact. And he said that it was one of the best cases of fraud be'd ever heard. The sixth allegation is from the professional literature associated with the testing and survey devices that we found via computer. Those learning programs-when you get the administrative literature and the interpretive literature-state plainly what ,the lhrust of the materials are. But this information is kept from parents and the casual investigalor. In other words, when they came out of the computer, if they were psychological therapy, it said SQ. But nothing like that is stamped on the material once the teacher has it in hand or when the parents get hold of it. 'The seventh allegation is that in the process of rerming 'these attitudinal, psychological and behavioural strategies that are being used in the classroom, the government, through its tal-supported labs and c_entres (which is where a lot of this stuff comes out of), is sup porting a policy of irresponsible scientific experimentation. That is, the government is subsidising the practice of medicine without a licence, in effecl. TOe experiments are poorly controlled, the repercussions are not fulJy understood, and the strategies them selves are ofoon not Mly accepted by professionals in the field.
