  1. As you say Thomas, 04:33 “It raises some interesting questions. All this meanness and mudslinging going on in politics, how do you discuss this with your kids? Actually I think it may be a great opportunity to talk about bullying in the schoolyard, bullying in school; this is what is happening in the White House; it’s a bad example; don’t do it”. Thomas, what are you saying? Why are you attempting to mollycoddle the next generation of voters? Why are you attempting to hide reality from the next generation? How do you expect them to learn? Remember, the oligarchs mollycoddle the current voters by creating an illusionary world through their media outlets and through what their puppet politicians say; why do you want to propagate this process? Parents should explain to their children that the US was founded on slavery and genocide by oligarchs of that day and since the late 1800s the Anglo-American Empire has embarked on butchery and theft around the globe in the interests of contemporary oligarchs. Parents should explain to their children how they fund the wars through their tax dollars and the US’s innate ability to print dollars and have the descendants of these taxpayers pay off that debt. Parents may also wish to give specific examples of US atrocities throughout the world such as the Hillary backer Madeline Albright. You must remember her; she clearly stated, "There is a special place in hell for those women who don't support Hillary Clinton". You may wish to explain to your children why she was responsible for the deaths of half a million Iraqi children under five years old by disease and starvation through sanctions. Parents should give particular attention to her response when she was asked about the cost of the half a million young lives when she said, “It was worth it”. Remember parents, nothing like the actions of a political psychopath to give your children nightmares. There are many examples of atrocities both domestic and international in the historical actions of the Anglo-American Empire. It shouldn’t be difficult for parents to select a factual part of history to teach their children. I wouldn’t depend on sanctioned corporate fascist state history books to deliver the truth; I would be looking for those history books that are more elusive. Maybe start with Smedley Butler’s “War is a Racket” as this encompasses some of the rise of US imperialism. And if you wish to understand how corporate America mollycoddles the American public, may I suggest an honest history book from the Harvard historian Kevin Kruse, “One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Created Christian America”. If you wish to raise intelligent, questioning, and responsible adults instead of the current swarms of Corporate Democratic Party supporting Useless Idiots of Empire, I suggest you ditch the state history books and go digging.
