Good one Peter. I’ve noticed the flack I get for illustrating what Locke’s “Theories” enable in practise, as opposed to their rhetorical effect: the cant of ‘LINO’ - Liberty In Name Only.
So far I’ve been told that my work is “embarrassing” and also that it is a “moral imperative to crush” me because I have dared to cast aspersions on such an ‘esteemed intellectual figure’.
The loving cup itself is an interesting historical example of British colonial propaganda. It is a symbol of the “special relationship” that it decides it has with its subjects.
Historically the making of them can be traced back to the period of the establishment of pottery factories in the English Midlands and the Lunar Society (from which the term lunatics was derived). This was a society that met on the full moon and comprised entrepreneurs and enlightenment scientists of the day. Benjamin Franklin was known to be amongst their connections.
The monarchy soon caught on to the propaganda value and would commission limited editions or bespoke cups for coronations or symbolic cultural ties with its “allies “.
I was aware of the British taint in cable news, Comedy Central, and Hollywood, especially since that day when some people did something, in fact, I cannot buy groceries without seeing magazines glamorizing British nobles. The taint is everywhere, so it makes sense it would be in our classrooms too.
Andrew Carnegie’s agenda was to take America back via his influence (Carnegie Foundation’s financing of specific Education Pedagogy predicated on Social Science Methodologies) designed to undermine & negate The Principles & Premises of the American Constitution & Declaration of Independence. Essentially to design & deploy the Pedagogy & Praxis of State Education from its very inception, to condition the inner constitution of generations of teachers & students (for over a century now) their conscience & will to be formed in such a way that US Founding Constitutional Principles, Popular Sovereignty & Self Governance would be anathema to them. That ultimately there would be no need to destroy The Constitution (& American Independence) through direct external attack. But that ‘We The People’ would do this to themselves, willingly and with assurance (zeal) of occupying a moral high ground in doing so. Demanding a Declaration Of Interdependence and adherence to a New (Global) Social (Moral) Order, which negates American Sovereignty. This has been the entire telos of government schooling from the outset. The very opposite of The Founders Vision for Public Education - which was to develop the necessary discernment, embody the discipline, courage & the integrity to the keep the Internationalist Tyrants at bay! The Carnegie Commission On The Findings Of The Role Of Social Science In Education (1933/4) was one of the blueprints for revolution.
GPT: Alright, let's break this down in a way that's easy for more people to understand.
Andrew Carnegie, a super-rich industrialist from the 1800s, used his money and influence to shape the American education system. But instead of supporting education that encouraged individual freedom, critical thinking, and self-governance (the core ideas behind the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution), he pushed for an education system that trained people to follow authority and conform to a global, collectivist way of thinking.
How did he do this? He funded schools and educational programs that used "social science" methods to shape how students and teachers thought about government, society, and morality. Over time, this system conditioned people to see self-rule and individual rights as outdated or even dangerous. The ultimate goal was to make Americans willingly abandon their own constitutional freedoms, believing they were doing the right thing by embracing a new, global order where the U.S. would no longer be a truly independent nation.
Instead of an outside force destroying the Constitution, Carnegie’s approach was more subtle: if you train generations of people to think a certain way, they’ll eventually reject their own founding principles without realizing they’ve been manipulated. The Carnegie Commission’s research in the 1930s helped lay the foundation for this long-term shift in education.
In contrast, the Founders envisioned education as a way to create wise, disciplined, and courageous citizens who could protect their freedoms and resist tyranny. Carnegie’s vision was the opposite—education that would lead people to willingly surrender their independence in favor of a global system that undermines American sovereignty.
Yes, I would expect any of those "traitors" to be mischaracterized in Britannica... although I do think Paine may have some niggling issues if I remember correctly... (but who knows, that could be British propaganda too!) LMK if you find out! Please.

😄👍my kids & husband ask if I can be chipped yet so they can AI filter me every time I speak, in real time 🫶.
Did i miss Thomas Paine?
IDK, pray tell?
Well, i assume he would be extra slandered, as he already is in the encyclopedia britanica when i last checked. i though i would have missed it here.
Yes, I would expect any of those "traitors" to be mischaracterized in Britannica... although I do think Paine may have some niggling issues if I remember correctly... (but who knows, that could be British propaganda too!) LMK if you find out! Please.
will do.
Just the fact that people such as George Stephanopolous, Rachel Maddow, Deb Halaand and Pete Buttigieg are Rhodes Scholars exposes the agenda.
unfortunately, not. most people do not know, they're nescient.
