College at a distance

Institutions of higher learning are less about preparing you with information to lead a fulfilling life and more about indoctrinating you and creating someone just smart enough to pay taxes but not smart enough to rebel. The Covid-19 Plandenic has given the minions of the Deep State one more powerful tool in their bag of tricks of molding young and impressionable minds. A possible defense is distance learning.

Regionally Accredited Online Schools for Distance Learning

Accredited Online Schools

Accreditation is the recognition that a school or program meets the standards of an external evaluative body, such as an education council or professional organization. Some organizations recognize entire schools, while others only accredit programs in their industry. Online schools may be recognized by regional accrediting agencies that evaluate schools in particular areas within the United States. Interested students can enroll in public, private, nonprofit and for-profit schools that offer online education.

Public Schools

Public institutions are schools that are partially funded by the government. They may offer both undergraduate and graduate-level degree and certificate programs, and they may provide education in the liberal arts and more career-specific topics, like nursing or education. Although residents of any state are often permitted to enroll, the tuition rate is typically higher for non-residents. Here are five accredited public schools with extensive online offerings:

University of North Carolina

Pennsylvania State University – World Campus

University of Oklahoma

Arizona State University

Oregon State University

Private Nonprofit Schools

Private nonprofit schools are not funded by the government, but their main goal is to provide education for their students; they do not expect to turn a profit by offering degree or certificate programs. Like public schools, private nonprofit schools provide courses and programs in a wide range of subjects at multiple degree levels. However, unlike public schools, the tuition rate at private nonprofit schools is usually the same for all students. These five accredited, private nonprofit schools offer online education:

Boston University

George Washington University

University of Miami

University of Denver

University of Southern California

For-Profit Schools

For-profit schools are institutions that were founded with the goal of making money by offering educational programs. This does not always mean that their educational offerings are inferior to those of public schools and private nonprofit institutions, since they may also be accredited, indicating that they fulfill the same educational standards. However, it is important to note that tuition is sometimes more expensive at for-profit schools. Many for-profit schools also focus on providing career training programs rather than liberal arts education. The following are well-known, accredited for-profit schools with online offerings:

Strayer University

Fortis Institute

Capella University

Full Sail University

National University

There are several types of accredited online schools from which to choose. Students can earn degrees and certificates in a wide range of subjects through online educational programs.

What’s the Difference Between Regional, National and Program Accreditation?

Regional accreditation organizations operate within a given area, say, the Southwest or MidAtlantic. They were the first regulatory bodies to emerge in the American education system, so they are traditionally associated with higher educational standards and nonprofit, public or degree-oriented institutions. Some regional accreditation organizations include:

Middle States Commission on Higher Education

Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges – Western Association of Schools and Colleges

Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges

National accreditation is a newer idea and is often linked to for-profit schools and religious institutions. Some national accreditation organizations include the Distance Education Accrediting Commission and the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges. Program accreditation refers to accrediting boards that focus on one degree field, such as education or nursing. Popular program accreditation agencies include ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology), American Council on Education, and Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.

Why Is Accreditation Important?

Accreditation matters and here’s why — these organizations ensure that institutions of higher learning all adhere to a set of educational and ethical standards. Regional accrediting associations emerged in this country first, so they’ve been around longer and they generally hold stricter standards than national accreditation organizations (though this isn’t always the case). Students interested in a traditional degree should look for regionally accredited universities while those who want to pursue a vocational or technical degree might look for a nationally accredited school.

It’s not the 1960’s

This is not the 60’s. I remember the 1960’s very well… There were protests, and shootings, and riots. But statues were still standing.

This is not the 60’s. I remember the 1960’s very well… There were protests, and shootings, and riots. But statues were still standing. When the protests turned to riots in Chicago during the democratic convention the democratic mayor hesitated not at all, his name was Richard J. Daley. There were no flower power, hippie camp grounds that were allowed to mature into cesspools. Government at all levels generally strove to maintain order and to ensure domestic tranquility.

This time is different, very much so. Government has abrogated it’s responsibility to maintain domestic tranquility, its responsibility to its prime purpose, its only purpose, to keep the citizen safe and secure in his life. Today there are stories about anti-white behavior sponsored by the government are seemingly growing exponentially on a daily basis.

For the most part basic human nature can be summed in one word. That word is sheeple. People want to be concerned with the fulfillment of their basic needs: Food and shelter. They are not Plato or Locke or Edmund Burke. They are not members of the French Revolution Committee of Safety. So they are easily led by those who control the means of communication. When radio, TV, Movies, and the news media all concentrate at one end of the spectrum then it is hard to expect that the sheeple will understand and act rationally.

This is a watershed time. This is a time that, like the Civil War, will change the face and composition of this nation forever. You can not expect to return to the time of 2018, or 1960, that will never happen. Unless we are prepared to seriously take up arms and follow the admonishment of Thomas Jefferson to water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants then we are as responsible. We are more responsible because of our failure to act than those who are acting on the other side.

I am well past my prime and my best years are far, far behind me. So I will defend myself and my little patch of this world to my death for the simple reason that I do not want to see what is on the other side.

No this is not like the past.

Very,very alert

We are moving backwards in almost every area of life – not forward. The exception being technology, and of course, that crown isn’t sitting on America’s head any longer.

I am very concerned – with some justification, for the very survival of our Constitution. Every young woman, and many of generation X, have drunk the revisionist history kool-aid.

Most are convinced that “White Privilege” is real and very important, and that BLM is just a peaceful protest against the murder of George Floyd. They have no idea that the founders are both actual Communists, and have admitted so. They have no idea of the political goals of the movement, which include overthrow of the US government, and destruction of the family unit.

This is not just a fad. We have had two generations of people indoctrinated in high schools and college to believe that not only is America not exceptional, but is actually evil.

Howard Zinn’s hit-piece on the US “A People’s History of the United States” is a complete diatribe against America and against European and Western culture. People look at Zinn’s writing as “the real truth” and ignore all of the evidence that America is a good nation and overall an extremely positive force in the world.

We must win this election. Otherwise there is real danger that we will lose the 2nd Amendment. The Democratic candidate has made statements that show this is his intent. I don’t need to say more than that.

The most important thing we can do other than vote – is to do what we can to educate our youth, and try to re-enter universities and high school teaching positions to change the narrative being fed to our young.

I use my Facebook page and blog to try and convince as many friends as possible about the goodness of America, and the falsehood of the leftist narrative.

We are moving backwards in almost every area of life – not forward. The exception being technology, and of course, that crown isn’t sitting on America’s head any longer.

Possibly the most frightening thing is the recalled conversation with an old friend who died many years ago. She was a German and her family escaped just before the fall of the Reich. I asked her “how will we know when America is close?” Her answer –

“EVERYTHING will become political. Every news story you read, or hear on the radio, no matter the subject, will have a political slant.

Sermons will become political speeches as patriotism and duty to country, becomes the new religion. Music, theater and art, all political. Where you shop, the type of car you drive, the style and brands of clothes you wear, your hairstyle, even your shoes, all political.

Secondly, the rise of corruption in the judicial system and the police state. Those who are elected officials, wear a military uniform or a badge, are exempt from the laws they enforce on others, and their lives will be seen as more valuable than those of civilians, even when those civilians are also party members themselves.”

I asked her, based on what she saw of America at the time, when she expected we might reach this point. This was at the height of the cold war in the early 80’s and her answer was, “after the turn of the century but before you die.”

When I asked her what I could be doing personally to prevent that she said, “there is nothing you can do get out now.”

“If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.” -Ronald Reagan

Stay Focused

Yes. They are lying to you. They want you to be scared. People who are fearful are more likely to OBEY without question.

How we got here is irrelevant. Blathering on about the poor education system that for the last few decades has been growing us a nice crop of commie scum is counterproductive. We are here, now, because of that and trying to assign fault to what has already happened is silly. That the “protester” who’s about to smash your car’s windows out with a rock is simply a misguided soul who was lied to by his socialist teachers is not a valid reason to delay preventative measures so you can engage him in a pleasant discourse of the differences of socialism versus democracy.

Its too late for that. No, I’m not saying people cannot have a reasonable discourse on events, I’m saying the middle of a danged riot is not the place to discuss it.

We’re in the middle of it now.

Information is a valuable commodity. Waiting until the threat is on your doorstep is poor planning. You must do better than that.

Recognize that the mainstream media, ALL of it is corrupt. They ALL have an agenda. “Oh, but I get my news from FOX”. Yeah….no. FOX is CNN with the dial slightly twisted to the right. Some of the other “conservative” news outlets are that with their dials set a bit farther to the right than that. Most of them serve a purpose to incite their “base”. Few actually have fair and balanced information but it is out there if you take the time to look.

That’s the real challenge because there’s so much crap out there it takes time to get through that just to find the one or two little nuggets of real information. So take a little time out of your already busy day to LOOK.

Be informed. You make better decisions that way.

Yes. They are lying to you. They want you to be scared. People who are fearful are more likely to OBEY without question. This is why the media does not present the full range of information on covid. This is why the WHO and other organizations do what they do. The whole bleeping thing is a construct of falsehoods, hype and BS designed to turn us against one another, be distracted while they act on other fronts and ultimately, change the course of our Country.

The media shows you the armed BLM “platoons” at Stone Mountain Georgia stopping motorists and demanding reparations, or the “chop” BS is Seattle. They do not show you the totally awesome speech President Trump gave at Mount Rushmore. They loudly announce each day’s death totals and new cases of covid but never mention that “the flu” is many times that nor do they note that heart disease, cancer and other ills kill more than this stupid virus. They omit other statistics and as a result governors around the country are shutting businesses down…again. Gee, I wonder why.

Stay informed. Don’t let them manipulate you. Focus on what needs to be done because tomorrow may be here sooner than you think.

Something evil

So, again, from a historical perspective, and solely in my opinion, comparatively. Once this pandemic* “ends” we will already be within a depression.

If you look back at the Great Depression timeline, it started in 1929 and lasted thru 1939. Starting 10 years following the 1918-1919 pandemic.

However, and less historically notable, was the recession (or mini depression) of 1920-1921.

Regardless of what, how, or why, we are well far and away above the depression zone (so to speak). In my opinion.

So, again, from a historical perspective, and solely in my opinion, comparatively. Once this pandemic* “ends” we will already be within a depression. Rather than a mini-depression / short lived recession, as in 1920-1921. But a move of the follow on timeline back-to-back overlapping with the current plandemic*/Great Depression.

How long will it last?

Anyone’s guess. Truly.

Same guess as how long this current plandemic* will last.

No one knows. Again, truly.

If “everything” were to open back up today, as “if nothing happened”, we would still be in disastrous economic forecast zone. That wishful thinking is simply not occurring.

So, again, the depression will just linger on longer on the other side, once whatever “new normalcy” is truly reached.

What folks CAN do, at the individual/family level is prepare. Prepare for hard economic times, and the accompanying problems associated with said.

Folks whom are not recognizing the economic implications, well, not much to do about them. Normalcy bias I suppose.

*Whether one believes the current plandemic is true, or is false, makes no difference as to the economic ramifications of it.

The ControlYa Virus

Looking historically at that pandemic (1918-1919), then globally there is far far worse to come.

I have one question for you folks, and I hope it inspires some actual thought, reflection and perhaps some research. Though that may be hard as this thing has made the world so Orwellian with a touch of Atlas shrugging. Here is the question:

What is the historical precedent for the reaction this country and the world has had to this disease?

When in history was the last time we closed down businesses because of a sickness? When was the last time we quarantined THE HEALTHY? When was the last time in history we controlled how many folks could come together at one time? When was the last time in history that face masks were mandated?

The purpose of this post is for folks to think, remember, and research the questions. It is NOT to debate current closures and mandates.

The only answer I can find is the 1918-1919 flu pandemic.

Looking historically at that pandemic (1918-1919), then globally there is far far worse to come.

We are looking at a global depression. Followed by major/regional shooting war(s).

No idea, truthfully, on where/what/how. Wars could also be minor conflict types as well, land grab/resource grab kinda deals as well. Who knows?

That will occur well following the virus resolve, again if the timeline holds similar to 1918-1919, virus resolve should be under a few years (2-5, IMO).

Looking at WW2 in relation to the 1918-1919 pandemic, and the economic repercussions of such, I’d up a “predicted” time frame for similar type armed conflict by a decade. So whereas WW2 started in 1939, 20 years after the pandemic. I recon, we would experience large shooting conflict in a shorter time frame.

Within 5 to ten years following this pandemic resolve.

Simply put, due to more people on the planet, losing more due to the follow on depression. Idle hands, and all that, promulgating regional political change (ie brown shirts in Bavaria).

Could occur anywhere, however “easiest” to see would be a far more strict China when “push comes to shove” on the political side. Return towards hard core communism (never actually left, mind), however ‘en-mass at that point. No special economic zones & such. Return towards everyone wearing a potato sacks etc, because of “the EVIL West” kinda thing. etc.

China, in my opinion, would be the overlooked bear in the room in common main-stream media discussing such. In the short term following virus resolve.

China would have much to lose in a global depression, which again in my opinion, they caused.

If they lost all gained over the past 40 years, economically speaking, with ‘enmass corporate pullouts, sanctions etc they MAY deem themselves “up against a wall” and take things nuclear. “Simply” (in their minds) to even the field.

But again, who knows??

Could be regional South Africa trying for water.

Russia trying to revisit perceived/erroneous glory of “Union” days.

Pakistan not liking them folks over in India or vs a vs.

Once upon a time…

“Yes, you see, Grandma didn’t like vaccines. I didn’t want to vaccinate my children, but a few years after covid-19 we lost the right to choose things like that.

“Grandma, did people really not wear masks when you were a kid?”

“No, they didn’t. People didn’t start wearing masks until I was 33, in 2020. Reuben, your daddy, was 4 when it all started.”

Bobby wrinkles his nose at me and picks up his mask by the door.

“You mean you didn’t wear a mask at ALL?!” He says, swinging his around on his finger.

“No, not ever.” I say.

“But how did you stay safe?” Bobby says, setting his mask down.

“Oh, we got sick a lot. Your daddy had the flu when he was 3. It was scary, but he pulled through. He’s had his share of colds as a child.”

“That’s scary. It’s bad to get sick.”

I stop, and think. Is it time? Yes, it must be time. Bobby will be eight soon, and there are things he needs to know. Things it might not be safe for his father or his mother to talk about, things that are safer shared from an older mouth.

I snuggle him up on the couch and try to think of where to begin.

“Now Bobby. I’m going to tell you some things. I want to you to hold these things inside of you and don’t talk about them to anyone else, you hear? Some of these ideas can be misunderstood if the wrong person hears them.”

I think he understands. I hope he understands.

“Back in 2020 there was a virus. You probably learned about it in school.”

“Covid 19.” Bobby says. He isn’t smiling. “I did.”

“Yes, Covid 19. That was when everything changed.”

“Is that why you had to go to jail, Grandma?”

Now my heart sinks. He’s getting ahead of me.

“No, not really.” I say.

“Daddy says you had to go to jail when he was little and he missed you a lot.”

I feel tears prick the edges of my vision, but I blink them away.

“Yes, you see, Grandma didn’t like vaccines. I didn’t want to vaccinate my children, but a few years after covid-19 we lost the right to choose things like that. But Grandma didn’t give up. I fought for the right to keep Reuben and Rebekah free from vaccines, so I went to jail for awhile. It was hard for your daddy, he missed me a lot.”

Bobby holds my hand, and I remember another little boy, so many years ago who also sat on this couch and held my hand. And I remember his tears as the police took me away from him. I don’t want to remember this.

“But vaccines are good for you, Grandma. They keep you safe. We learned about them in school.”

I sigh.

“That’s what they say.” I say. “Yet, back when I was a kid, sometime people died after they were vaccinated. Sometimes people were damaged by the vaccines. And we still don’t know what is in them. No one will tell us.”

I turn to look into Bobby’s eyes. “People still are damaged by vaccines now. Just no one talks about it.”

Bobby scrunches his eyes up. He’s trying so hard to wrap his mind around my words.

“The world was a very different place when I grew up.” I say. “We had coins, like the ones in my collection. We spent those coins as money, instead of using the chips we have today. No one wore masks and you didn’t have to get vaccinated if you didn’t want too. Parents could teach their kids at home if they wanted, and school wasn’t year round. You could think what you wanted, no one was arrested for speaking their mind. People met in churches to sing to God.”

Bobby still looks confused. I wonder if he can even picture a world like I am describing. I wonder if he can even understand.

“Kids played together in the streets. We had birthday parties where people would come to your house and hang out. I could hug my friends whenever I wanted.” Now I am getting a bit choked up. It must be my age. I’ll be 76 this January.

I swallow.

“Now, Bobby dear, don’t go repeating anything I’ve told you. Keep it hidden in your heart, like the verses we learn over breakfast.”

“Like the bible under the planks in the shed?” He asks. I nod, yes, like the bible hidden in the shed.

Bobby slips from my side. I let him go, hearing the legos tinkle from the other room. The legos his dad collected as a kid.

I sit for awhile, thinking back. Times sure have changed. I don’t think they have changed for the better, no matter what the government says. I wonder what other things will change, before my bones go into the Earth. Soon the memories of that other world, that world of freedom and breath… will be buried in my tomb with me. And only the young will remember.

If they can.

It’s only a mask child, it’s only a mask.

It’s only for a month child, it’s only for a month.

It’s only six feet distancing child, it’s only 6 feet.

It’s only a vaccine child, it’s only a vaccine.

It’s for your safety child, it’s for your safety.

It’s for your own good child, it’s for your own good.

Get into the boxcar to go to a safe place child, get into the boxcar.

Hate speech

Speaking your mind on any issue cannot be labeled “hate speech” as it is your opinion or view that you are entitled to. Acting on some words is a different issue all together.

It is the SJW way of eliminating “Free Speech” by labeling speech as “Hate Speech”. To me, there is no such thing as “Hate Speech”. There are speech/words some people want to hear and agree with. And there are speech/words that some people do not want to hear and do not agree with.

Agree or disagree, folks are free to say whatever they like. There may be consequences of saying some word in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that does not make it “hate speech”. Yelling “FIRE” in a crowded theater comes to mind. Anyone is free to yell that out but sure enough, there will be a price to pay for doing so. Granted, there is a fine line there on what would be considered in that general. Telling someone you are going to open a can of Whoopass on them may have consequences also.

Speaking your mind on any issue cannot be labeled “hate speech” as it is your opinion or view that you are entitled to. Acting on some words is a different issue all together.

Take all the folks that are paying the price for putting words in the public domain. Those were their opinion that they were entitled to at that time. They were free to say them. They are now paying the consequence for saying them. Should their employer fire them for having said them? No. In a right and just America of the past it would be illegal to fire anyone for saying something in the past.

This SJW technique is only effective if the majority let it be effective and right. If someone ever tells me what I have said is “Hate Speech” I would just laugh at them. I would most likely throw it right back at them and call their not liking my speech “Hate Speech” towards me!

Think back not that long ago when the SJW/gender confused folks wanted everyone to use their “preferred gender pronoun.” How did that work out for them? Society dictates what words are acceptable and adopted, not someone’s opinion of them. Those gender pronouns died out pretty fast because society did not adopt them. You cannot force a society/people to use a certain speech, they have to willingly accept it. This whole “Hate speech” thing is exactly the same. SJW’s are trying to FORCE society to adopt certain words as unacceptable. It is only going to work if the majority let it.

No MASKS!

I believe my best offense is a good defense. My body has a functioning immune system and I think it knows how to use it.

I do not wear a “Mask”. Public or private I have yet to don one. If a business requires me to wear one, I just do not give that business my business, I go elsewhere. I do respect a business’s right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason. I have stated I cannot wear one and many have accepted that without question. The ones who yell to GET OUT!! I simply turn and walk away, never to return.

For my reasons. First, I do not believe this virus is anywhere near the threat it is made out to be, not at all. It has over a 90-some percent survival and I believe, 99%+ survival rate in non-… what is the word they use… susceptible or something… groups, like being aged with other health issues that ANY flu would complicate. From all I can read it has a better survival rate that many “seasonal flu” pandemics. Yeah, I used their word, pandemic, because the seasonal flu is a pandemic. They just have never called it that before. It sounds much scarier.

What give me the most reason for this is using my eyes to observe. Think about this. Our politicians must have known about this from day 3 or 4, at the latest. You can’t convince me that no one in the US Government did not know something was up in China. Did any of the Congress-critters run to their little hidey holes and disappear? No? What would be the first thing you would do if you were “in the know” and found out a deadly, killer virus was just released in China? You knew within a few days or weeks it was going to be rolling across the world. Me? I would be stocked up and holed up in my little safe space not letting anyone or anything near me under threat of death. Yet Nancy Pelosi, whom I would consider as in the know as anyone, went to Chinatown 2 months into it and was interacting with the general public, no safeguards at all, no mask, no distancing, nothing. Look at what all the other “in the know” politicians were doing also. None went into hiding from it, none.

I do not know how it is transmitted but from what I can discern it is the same as any seasonal flu. Being around a lot of folks who have it, gives you a better chance to catch it. Avoid crowds as much as possible. Basic sanitation will help avoid it also. No, not sanitizing everything you touch or after you touch everything. That is ridiculous.

I believe my best offense is a good defense. My body has a functioning immune system and I think it knows how to use it. I eat dirt on a regular basis to help boost it. Yes, I go out in the garden and simply rinse the soil off stuff and eat them raw. I get lots of little bugs and bacteria that way. I also interact with the general public, mostly neighbors. This gives me exposure to small amounts of whatever “bugs” are floating around and give my body a taste of them so it can build antibodies. Do this regularly and it can adapt much better to the new, seasonal varieties as they are all similar to the last one. Covid is no different. Sars-Covid it is called. Remember the Sars death virus that was going to kill us all off? Sanitize everything in your environment, and your body has no chance to build a functioning immune system.

For the mask. No public official has given any warnings about proper use of “The Mask”. That raises the flag for me. It is just “Mandating” everyone wear one. Doesn’t it seem odd that no “instructions” or specifications went with this mandate? We just need to wear a face covering, is all I have heard. If they were all that concerned wouldn’t precautions be sent out also? What kind of “mask” is most effective? How to properly wear one. Proper sanitizing of one. Nothing.

For folks using “The Mask” what about after they touch it? Their hands are now contaminated and everything they touch is also. If they pull it down, then back up, any disease that was on the outside, is now on the inside! Folks use the same mask for days, no one warned them not to. Just NEED to use one. How about how long to have one on? Isn’t wearing one harmful to ones health? Build up of carbon dioxide, lack of oxygen in the system, re-breathing your exhaled breath… There is a long list of cons against wearing a piece of cloth over your nose and mouth all day. What about the eye membranes? They would be just as susceptible to virus entry and breathing them in. No mention of covering your eyes with anything.

After all that I make my way to the “shutdown”. The big elephant in the room. It was simply a blanket “shut it down”. Everything. Doesn’t that strike you as odd? Then, certain “essential” businesses were given exception to open. Remember the lists of “essential businesses”? Remember the lists of things folks were not allowed to buy? Paint. We can’t buy paint but we can buy anything else in that same store? Now about the lists of non-acceptable activities? There is a real winner there. You can’t go out to a park, or go fishing, In a whole state like Washington you cannot go fishing, anywhere!! You can go to the beach, but you can’t go swimming. Some places you can’t even go to the beach, others you can, but can’t have a chair. No rhyme or reason to any of it, none. That tells me they do not have a clue.

And this blanket “shut it all down” was for everyone, small and big. A place like NYC had the same restrictions as small-town flyover country. No tailoring it to anything. No partial, not hotspot shutdown, everywhere. Another no clue situation here.

Overall, no one has given me any reason to suspect I have to do any of the things they are “mandating”” besides the fact they say so under penalty of being thrown in jail. But wait! They can’t throw me in jail because they are letting prisoners OUT of jail.

How about the “mostly peaceful protests”. Just think back to the restrictions put on the general public and how they are different for the BLM “mostly peaceful protestors”. If that doesn’t tell you they do not have a clue about any of this, nothing will.

I will leave this long, too long… part with what about my rights here in what still is the United States of America. It is not the Governments place to be dictating what I can and cannot do as long as it is still legal. As far as I have heard, no one has created any laws that I have to abide by in this Coivd thing, none. A “mandate” is not a law passed by a house in the legislature by our elected officials.
