Government front group Demos, an integral part of the British establishment which was founded by Marxists, is terrified that children are using the Internet to question what they are taught in school, and has vowed to abolish any such critical thinking to reinforce the education system's role as a tool of indoctrination.
A BBC News report reflects Demos' panic at "conspiracy theories" (ie any critical thought that questions the official consensus) being brought into the classroom.
It's a delicious irony that we've highlighted many times before and it underpins the entire education system. While complaining that children are not engaging in "critical thinking," Demos, a government front group, is abolishing any notion of critical thinking by telling students that they should only believe what the government and the mainstream media tells them is true – the same establishment that has been caught proliferating lies time and time again.
In reality, it is the very fact that students are increasingly engaging in "critical thinking," ie questioning the official version of events, that has the likes of Demos so petrified.
Having been caught lying and covering-up all manner of scandals, from the WMD farce, to Climategate, to the death of Dr. David Kelly, the British establishment and its sycophantic media cheerleaders like the BBC are losing credibility fast, that's why young people are turning to alternative sources of information to try and get the truth, something deemed intolerable by the system.
While young people are being intimidated out of critical thinking, they are simultaneously being bombarded with the likes of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, which was sent by the government to British schools in 2007, a documentary found by a British high court judge to contain nine significant errors while making claims in "the context of alarmism and exaggeration."
It seems believing in "conspiracy theories" is only acceptable for the likes of Demos and the British government if those "conspiracy theories" are generated by and supportive of the state.
Indeed, a University Professor in the United Kingdom recently conducted a comparative analysis of a BBC documentary on 7/7 "conspiracy theories" and an independent documentary in which the official story behind the London bombings is questioned. The Professor concluded that the documentary produced by "conspiracy theorists" was more accurate and more likely to be a truthful representation of the events of 7/7, but don't expect the government to recommend it be included on the curriculum any time soon.
Other government front groups have also launched state-funded projects to "demolish conspiracy theories" about events like 9/11, or in other words 'abolish' any critical thinking about the event and reinforce official propaganda through the school curriculum.
Demos is a front for the insidious Common Purpose network, a group that Lt Cdr Brian Gerrish has exposed as playing a fundamental role in the advancement of Britain's role in the new world order. Julia Middleton, Chief Executive of Common Purpose, sits on Demos' advisory council.
The group has waged war on "conspiracy theories," particularly the suggestion that 7/7 and 9/11 involved state complicity, and has urged the government to "fight back" by infiltrating conspiracy websites to spread state propaganda. Demos has also characterized people who question the official fable of 7/7 and 9/11 as extremists and terrorist recruiters.
The strategy mirrors that advocated by White House information czar Cass Sunstein, who in a 2008 white paper similarly called for conspiracy websites to be infiltrated and undermined in order to dilute their influence. In the same report, Sunstein also called for taxing conspiracy theories (any viewpoint that differs with the official version) and outright banning free speech of which the authorities disapprove.
Demos was founded in 1993 by marxists Martin Jacques and Geoff Mulgan, and was closely affiliated with Tony Blair's Labour government. Mulgan went on to work inside Downing Street in 1997. Current British Prime Minister David Cameron also works closely with Demos and has given speeches at the group's events.
Demos has routinely acted as a platform for elitists who wish to drastically alter society, eliminate freedoms, and sacrifice British sovereignty in pursuit of global government. On August 9, 2006, British Home Secretary Dr John Reid, another former marxist, gave a speech at a Demos conference stating that Britons "may have to modify their notion of freedom", claiming that freedom is "misused and abused by terrorists."
Demos is partnered with numerous other globalist organizations from government and industry, including IBM, The Carnegie United Kingdom Trust, and Shell International. The organization's logo includes an all-seeing eye within its design.
Although the group poses as an independent think tank, Demos is little more than a public relations firm for the British government and security services. Its efforts to demonize conspiracy theories in order to "increase trust in the government," as its own report states, is a transparent ploy to do the bidding of its masters, by demonizing anyone who challenges a corrupt, lying state and its nefarious activities as an extremist and a potential domestic terrorist, while infiltrating schools and acting as thought police to ring-fence what ideas children can and cannot entertain.
