“Brainwash!” - The Rockefeller’s School Psyop WORSE Than You Think | Spencer Taylor • 410

Guest: Spencer Taylor · Host: Joey Def, Julian Dorey
This conversation centers on filmmaker and humanitarian Spencer Taylor, who spent a decade making a documentary about the American public school system. He traces the roots of compulsory education to Horace Mann, who after visiting Prussia in the 1840s imported that empire's rigid, bell-driven, standardized model to Massachusetts, and argues that the same industrial-era architecture still shapes classrooms today. He connects the Rockefeller-funded General Education Board and the NEA (dating to the 1850s) to a system he says was built by elites who never sent their own children through it. The discussion moves through the erosion of recess, brain-science research on unstructured play and 'yet/not yet' grading, Finland's education model, charter and micro-schooling alternatives, and Taylor's undercover footage inside an NEA conference concerning SOGI curriculum and gender-identity content in early grades. He describes the union's political funding, dark-money networks steering school board elections, and argues centralization of authority — whether in czarist Prussia, the Soviet Union, or Nazi Germany — reliably precedes collapse. The conversation broadens into Taylor's humanitarian work in Ukraine's Donbas, Gaza, and flood-ravaged Pakistan, describing mass graves, drone warfare, and civilian suffering, before turning to faith, fatherhood, narcissism baked into modern incentive structures, and his hopes for decentralized, parent-driven education.

“Not the actual people. I haven't seen that yet, but like all the mentions of them were in the Epstein file.”
“So the word education comes from the Latin word aduko which means to draw out from or to develop from within.”
“The system was created by elite narcissists and so they created a system that incentivizes more people who are narcissists that want to become elite to rise up through it.”
