Make a Different Difference

An analysis of Irelands CSPE program

A Tik Tok video of a school book, circulating on social media recently caught my attention.  I found the content within the pages quite sinister and disturbing, so I decided to look a little bit further into it.  It turns out it’s a book that’s on the new Junior Cycle CSPE school curriculum in Ireland called ‘Make a Difference’ (of which there are two volumes), published by Folens and written by Conor Harrison and Máirín Wilson.  Both of these co-ordinators cut their teeth in two very familiar centres of learning, Maynooth University and Trinity College Dublin, respectively.  Like so many of the people involved in the now patently obvious and deliberate transformation of our nation by stealth, on behalf of undemocratic globalist organisations; the authors of these books, have also passed through these institutions.

I listened to a webinar with the two individuals in question and of course they come across quite pleasant in that typically, socially awkward, middle class academic way.  However, upon listening to both of them speak, it soon became pretty clear to me that they have come through years of these globalist training programs, which read from a script verbatim to sell the various liberal agendas at play in a positive manner - and far more worryingly, presenting them to the students as the only option for the future of humanity.  A collectivist, internationalist, servile model at the expense of Ireland’s former “backward view of sovereignty” as Tanaiste Michael Martin, infamously said in a speech in Dáil Éireann.  These people I have no doubt fully believe what they say, that much is clear.  But I would have my doubts whether either of them once questioned their own training when the quasi-religious dogma was being downloaded by them, when presented to them on slide shows in the same biased manner it appears on their neatly illustrated pages.

Both Harrison and Wilson are so completely ideologically aligned with the ideas (that’s all they are) and new value system, laid out in the books, that the contents are presented as fact and simply the way the world is.  There is more than one side however, but as we have witnessed over the past number of years, alternatives are often completely ignored, or attacked when they can’t be.  Yet further proof that a dominant left wing way of thinking, has permeated every crevasse of the system.  A thought form which unilaterally promotes only this side of the political spectrum, with its proponents having long entrenched themselves within our educational system, penetrating it so deeply it’s now unrecognisable to anything encountered by todays adults in childhood.  There is now a blatant confirmation bias.  There is clearly and evidently a singular approach towards political and civic education being employed now in this country.  With the goal of creating the obedient, neo-liberal foot soldiers the system desires.

I would also wager these pedagogues, would not even see the point in presenting an opposing argument, regarding anything traditional or indeed Irish, because that is now considered simply obsolete in academic circles and is not how they themselves view the world.  Wilson claims that the purpose of this course is to help get children’s engagement and to familiarise them with the world around them.  The world according to whom?  You Ms. Wilson?  The UN?  This appears to me, more like manifesting destiny than education.  The world is not yet fully how these books present it.  But it is getting there.  This looks suspiciously like it’s intended to finish the job, so the children go out into society to create this world that is presented to them all by  themselves.

Taking an educated guess, I would imagine it to be highly plausible that the authors, would consider even the mildest of conservative views as far right, judging by the content displayed within the books pages.  This program of indoctrination is basically a sales pitch to the children for the new world they want them to live in.  It’s presented as benevolent and democratic, but we have already seen how the adults who disagree have been treated over the past few years, the impact on children will be far more psychologically detrimental, when the aim for many of them is generally to simply fit in.  It’s deeply disturbing.

Flicking through the pages there is a total absence of any mention of their own cultural identity or heritage (because of course we are globalised now), no real focus on individual development, only broadly focusing on their roles within a group dynamic and their responsibilities to society and dare I say, the common good.  It’s essentially a training and instruction manual to produce communitarians, who will prioritise the greater good above the needs of the individual, which is antithetical to the concept of a republic.  The children who do this best will progress up the levels of the social pyramid and become the well groomed, finely tuned leaders of tomorrow.  The next wrung down will become the guardians, gatekeepers and snitches.  The organs of the state and government departments are heavily referenced within the book, however there is little reference, if at all as to where their power to govern is actually derived from.  That being of course, the sovereign Irish people.  An ever diminishing notion.

It will be up to parents to work closer with their children, if they want them to remain ‘their’ children.  The ‘experts’ have plans for them and will use terms like ‘age appropriate’ so the parents with lesser critical thinking skills, will be subdued and reassured into accepting that everything is in hand and under control.  It is under total control alright, just not in the way they think it is however.  Skewing the reality of children by presenting them with one and only political view is in essence what every totalitarian regime in history has done and they too said they were democratic and benevolent.  I’m an expert when it comes to my own children, having nurtured them from birth, not some stranger with a PhD which was obtained due to how much they agreed with and could regurgitate back onto a page the theories and teachings of the Frankfurt school or other such source institutions.

This is how you change the world.  Create a top down framework, infiltrate all the institutions over a period of time and then get into schools.  Starting with universities and then gradually progressing down the age levels to ‘educate’ children on how that world works, presenting it as ‘getting them active’ and teaching them how to ‘engage with the world around them’.  The world they’ve created that is.  It’s presented as empowering them but in reality, from what I can see anyway, there is nothing empowering within these books.  It doesn’t encourage them to be leaders, it encourages them to follow.  It’s a book designed to create followers, written by followers.  Subservience and servile to the point of nausea.  They have been hugely successful at third level, but many people have become aware now that they have decided to target secondary and primary pupils.

There are absolutely no conservative views expressed in these books from what I can see.  If the children are not presented with even the most reasonable of right wing views, how are they expected to approach adult life with any degree of balance.  The cynic in me is leaning towards that being the whole point.  These academics who are responsible for writing the syllabus, have spent the entirety of their education and careers, mostly behind campus walls.  They have always managed to put food on their tables by theoretical means.  Many have a warped understanding of the real world and never really had to get their hands dirty out in the industrial world, therefore they have no practical experience of it.  Listening to both speakers on the webinar, my primary takeaway, is an overwhelming perception of an almost childlike naïveté.

The types who would have no thought filtration process of the information they are promoting.  One doubts whether they would see anything remotely negative in the modern day secular commandments of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which on the surface appear benevolent, but the vagueness and unrealistic expectations laid out in them, deserve far more rigorous scrutiny than they are currently receiving.  No doubt this will be reflected in the CSPE course itself.  This UN agenda will be presented as the only viable option on the table, in order to achieve the sustainable world they insist upon ramming down our throats on a daily basis through advertising campaigns.  These people are not who we should be entrusting with the stewardship of our children’s education.  Our children should remain Irish and not ‘global citizens’.  Whatever that nonsense means.

I’m sure the intentions of the authors of these books are not in any way malicious or malevolent, but they don’t have to be.  They have simply guzzled down pints of the coolade.  The authors of the ideas and concepts they unquestioningly and unwaveringly present, however - do have malevolent intentions, they tell us so regularly.  The ones really calling the shots, want the average man and woman financially, culturally and spiritually poorer, so we can be more easily managed and controlled.  The destruction of the family is also one of their key aims, which is why this framework is targeting children so pervasively.  They also want less of us around, because of course there are far too many of us plundering ‘their’ resources.  Is it a mere coincidence that a new school curriculum has miraculously aligned perfectly with this timeline?

So what’s the answer?  How do we combat this?  The structure of todays’s society makes it extremely difficult for people to simply pull their children out of school.  Is running and hiding from this a viable option anyway?  People have varying ideas, but if you do just sever all contact, these conversations will definitely not happen within these schools, which is where they need to take place.  The children will be left to the mercy of group think.  In the schoolyard amongst friends and away from the presence of an authority figure, the thinking children can still communicate ideas contrary to what’s being taught.  If this doesn’t happen and there is no alternative dissenting voice at source, society will move along this path unmolested and we will inevitably be faced with a bleak future with no possibility for debate, as children will neither possess the tools or the skills to engage in debate or the capacity or mental faculties to actually even disagree.  The biggest victim with the most protected characteristics wins.  That is the new model.  That is not conducive to a healthy confident society, but it is precisely the one which will manifest, should we do nothing to intervene.  Much to the delight of the system’s architects.

Parents are the primary educators of their children not the state or any of their agents.  If you can educate and get your children to present sensible social arguments to their peer groups, you can in turn get them to present them with a more plausible explanation for what’s happening in the world around them, than their teachers can.  Teachers have already demonstrated how easily they will fall into line with orders from above, regardless of children’s wellbeing when most had no issue with them wearing masks.  The children who are independent thinkers will become leaders.

That is how you change society.  Steadily, sensibly and patiently.  Ideologically biased individuals have captured every institution in order to change the very nature of who the Irish people are.  We are too xenophobic and nationalistic in the eyes of the open borders advocates so we need to be changed.  This period is a struggle for them, with the upheaval  and social tensions that come with such an undertaking, so they are hoping to avoid that with the next generation by indoctrinating people’s children to mould them into the manageable digital global citizens they wish them to be, this will make the transition run more smoothly.  Parents of course should have no say in the eyes of these experts who ‘know best’, even more than parents know their own child.  The wishes of parents is of little consequence and even irrelevant to collectivists, who see them as all the same anyway.  A blank slate, to upload their ideological software onto.

How we change this and solve this problem we are presented with, is not through hysteria or anger (although justified).  It is with calm and poise, and by very simply communicating a loving message to our children.  Drumming into them the notion of the family and the home being absolutely sacrosanct.  The outside world should be treated with trepidation and caution.  Stranger danger.  Trust must be earned, especially the trust of an authority figure who has the ability to abuse their power.  Many people say pull them out of school, but that in my view is a touch knee jerk.  We need to give the children more credit.  Let them witness the propaganda first hand and teach them how to decode it, carefully deconstruct it down into its nuts and bolts.  Children are incredibly bright and will respond to the level of trust you place in them and keeping them informed, by reciprocating that trust and speaking to you about things.  Invaluable in a teenager.  Be your child’s refuge from the big bad world.  Make them aware that this subject is extremely politically and ideologically one sided and subjective and there is actually another side.  A more traditional, conservative and nationalist viewpoint being completely ignored that is of the utmost historical value and significance.  Keeping alive family values with also a love of community, nationhood and even religion (although I myself am not religious but do see the value in it).  There is far more to our beautiful children, than just to become a cog in a global machine, with responsibilities to the state as a citizen, rather than the other way around.

Children will only get one side in an establishment institution.  They are being reframed to be activists who protest and push for agenda’s the government actually favours.  Much like Jessica Dunne and Saoirse Exton who are such a danger to the prevailing orthodoxy that they are given a platform on RTÉ.  Effectively creating a new voter base who are aggrieved about government policies not being implemented quickly enough, rather than not at all, effectively lobbying themselves for a predetermined, already decided upon outcome, to present the illusion of democracy.  Totalitarianism by osmosis.  A huge number of college students are left wing, neo-liberal activists.  That was a roaring success, now they are coming for the secondary and primary students for the next round of programming and indoctrination.  Get them younger and soon every child will be a mask wearing Trans/BLM/climate activist and that’s how they want it, to impose upon the body-politik a completely new reality with no counter narratives.  A gaudy, synthetic monoculture, effectively no culture.  With the ultimate goal, the unnatural homicide of our vibrant and rich Irish culture.  Caffrey’s Irish Pub, brought to you by Amazon.

Our own indigenous culture (which we are being encouraged to cast aside) is far superior and far more spiritually fulfilling than any of this nonsense they are trying to brainwash our children with, so it shouldn’t be too daunting a task to usurp.  It’s essential however, that parents get involved and scrutinise what their kids are being taught so they can present their children with logical cogent counter arguments that make sense.  If you don’t present your children with alternatives they will most certainly not be  presented with them at a state school.  This curriculum - if unchallenged - will create ideological robots with an unwavering allegiance to the state.  Is this what we want for our children?

In Padraig Pearse’s famous essay, The Murder Machine, he provided us with many tools we could avail of in the modern day, like returning to teaching our children of the sagas and the many heroes in Irish mythology.  Lugh Lamhfada, Cuchulainn, Fionn McCool and (my addition) Pearse himself and the many great patriots - such as Collins - who were inspired by his writings.  The framework to create inspirational leaders is all there within our Gaelic traditions and mythology.  I would suggest our children would be far better served by being re-immersed in the richness of their own culture, their own land, language, arts, history and tradition, rather than an American Walmart postcard version of Ireland with no authenticity.  In the future don’t be surprised to see it die out altogether should we continue on this path.  All that will remain will be a tokenistic trinket to be displayed in glass cases, mere museum artifacts of the old world, carefully curated by those who destroyed it.  The creeping loss of identity is a very real prospect facing the Irish if we don’t start presenting a positive version of nationalism that is not misrepresented as fascism.  We need to start figuring out what we truly want as a people and get out of reactionary mode.  Positive, forward thinking goals to counteract the plans already made for us, that we won’t very much enjoy.

It appears the globalists and their NGO affiliates are using a similar blueprint to the one implemented by the British in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.  Keep the Irish beaten down, hampering their potential by keeping Irish children in the dark about their true origins and failing to nurture their extraordinary talents and genius.  I would favour the blueprint laid down by Pearse in his essay, as the most effective means of getting the best out of Irish children, although his views would of course be derided as regressive, antiquated and outdated, by those who seek to ensure Ireland becomes a mere region in the new international archipelago.

When reading this extract, it is extremely difficult to ignore the parallels with todays version of Pearse’s Murder Machine;

“If the true work of the teacher be, as I have said, to help the child to realise himself at his best and worthiest the factor of nationality is of prime Inportance, apart from any ulterior propagandist view the teacher may cherish. The school system which neglects it commits, even from the purely pedagogic point of view, a primary blunder, It neglects one of the most powerful of educational resources.

“It is because the English education system in Ireland had deliberately eliminated the national factor that it has so terrifically succeeded. For it has succeeded - succeeded in making slaves of us. And it has succeeded so well that we no longer realise that we are slaves. Some of us even think our chains ornamental, and are a little doubtful as to whether we shall be quite as comfortable and quite as respectable when they are hacked off.”

The more things change the more they stay the same and as Mark Twain once said - and I paraphrase, “History doesn’t repeat, it rhymes”.  The implementation of a more totalitarian rules based system of social responsibility can only be achieved, by completely overhauling the way children are taught and how they see themselves and view their place in the world.  They are being moulded to serve the world, rather than been encouraged to seize opportunity and use their talents to fashion the world into serving them.  Can this perspective even enter their thoughts with such a heavy unchallenged liberal bombardment?  As someone who would consider himself a centrist with no real ‘dyed in the wool’ political allegiances, possessing some left leaning and some right leaning views, I believe children should be presented with all opinions so they can evolve naturally and make up their own minds about things, instead of being coached towards specific outcomes, designed to create a self fulfilling prophecy of sorts.  Censorship disguised as fact checking, to firewall their consciousness.  The aim of indoctrination is the only logical conclusion one can arrive at.

What I find most startling is the sheer lack of any focus on personal development and individuation.  The need for outside validation and the externalisation of issues is at the core of this new doctrine.  How can children be expected to effect change in the world if they have no clue who they are themselves?  When millions of children who have collectively not been encouraged to do any inner work, with little to no emphasis on personal development, project outwardly their grievances en masse, it will manifest disastrously in the outside world.  We have already witnessed this with the NGO ready product coming from the collegiate conveyor belt - now multiply that twenty fold.

In an equity based system these greater things are less important, because excellence is now being encouraged to put the breaks on to allow mediocrity to catch up.  Creating an artificial level playing field, when in reality one doesn’t naturally exist.  It cannot.  Resulting in the unnatural death of meritocracy.  This of course requires top down construction and intervention.  A new nanny state.  Victimhood is at the heart of this new program.  Organisations which have been proven to be fraudulent, like Black Lives Matter are championed in these books.  A brief look beyond the common flow of information, towards the actively censored and suppressed tributaries, would to a genuinely open mind render their inclusion in a book for adolescence wholly inappropriate bordering on scandalous.  A strong confident black woman like Candace Owens (who exposed this organisation) would be a far better role model for black and white children alike, than George Floyd could ever have been.  That would be a positive conservative role model to present in a  more balanced publication.  Omitted no doubt due to ideological differences with the authors.

Again you would have to question not only the critical thinking skills of these authors of the program, but also their actual in depth knowledge of global issues and affairs and not a surface level, neutered, sales pitch version, they would have encountered in both their training and through the non-stop regular media reinforcement.  The fact checker mindset which discounts information by reflex action, should it conflict with their world view, is absolutely fatal to any prospect of a free society.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs is referenced on a few occasions both in the webinar and in the books themselves.  The ultimate goal of which is to achieve self-actualisation and live a life of optimum happiness.  What if the version of that self-actualisation is contrary to the ideals set out on the course?  What if a confident already self-actualised child presents a sensible counter argument to the sustainable goals and argues with the teacher?  I’m sure it will be “where are you hearing all these far right views, Fintan?”  The experts have already decided.  The use of these diagrams and charts are only to present a scientific appearance.  They are twisted to suit a specific purpose.  If a child actually goes off script you can be guaranteed - just like their parents - they will be told they are wrong and far smarter people than them have this all figured out already.  Therefore, self actualisation in its truest sense cannot in fact be achieved.  If it falls outside the boundaries or needs of the system, it will likely be ridiculed, labelled and eventually attacked if it gains enough traction.  You can only self-actualise to the extent to which the machine allows you to.

Are we so reprehensible, that we need to be changed as a people?  If your answer to this question is no, you need to start doing something to try to prevent this from happening.  This is a culture war and if we want our culture to survive we need to teach our kids the rules of engagement and how and when to fight.
