JIC someone is wondering, the interview series was conducted by Richard Grove, who has a fantastic weekly podcast called Grand Theft World.
Also, in this absolutely must watch documentary, they bring up many times Carroll Quigley’s Tragedy and Hope.
Here’s a summary an introduction to Quigley’s 1300 page literary/academic book. Also a must, for anyone who wishes to understand “where we are and how we got here”
I have seen several interviews with him and I sure wish he were around when we were fighting Common Core. I have a couple of his books too. Thanks for posting the interview. If I can squeeze it in to my Substack for next week I will surely do so.
Looking forward to watching the JTG interview — I met him at an educational conference, and his talks inspired me to keep on homeschooling my girls through high school. He reminded me of a big Teddy Bear... Miss his approach to education.
This is great. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of John Taylor or heard him speak until today. I must find all of his work and interviews. I’m just one hour into this 5 hour production and I’m totally blown away. It’s so crazy, that even after I was told I was autistic-retarded as a child, by the system, these same teachers still felt the need to punish and beat me into “learning and conforming,” even though they must have always known it would alway be impossible for me to “ever” convert into a non-individual; a slave. To this day, I’m still totally incapable of “going along with the crowd” like a typical sheep-slave, like everyone else. I’m Not now, nor have I ever been, “trying” to be stubborn about it, I just can not do it, damnit. I’m insanely driven, unlike most people I have known, for constant knowledge. I want to, I need to, I must create, build, evolve, research and learn something new every second of every day, or I feel like my brain will explode. I’ve been this way since birth, and the monsters really hate it. I wouldn’t dunk & cover, say the pledge every day, sit up straight…and today I MUST refuse to be politically correct just the same; I refuse to support the fraud of scarcity, overpopulation, war, mass vaccinations or masking-up, and “they” hate me for that, too. But I don’t hate them or anyone—I just want to be free of them, so I rant, as always. I keep telling them, as always, I just want to be free to be just me. And they hate that, too.
perfect segue from the mercola article on the origins of psyops, to the gatto intvu ❤❤❤
for anyone unfamiliar with his work, don't let the occasional absurdity (hampshire college is best in the world??) turn you off. he was one of the great polymaths. his observations on how public education is a campaign for mass disempowerment and propaganda is spot on.

What is more, if you listen to the podcast version (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnkhjkRyBrHYgJXzwY14cVnrVx2F3j68m seems to have it), Richard Grove and someoen else I cannot remember intersperse the interview with comments and explanations. It makes it even longer, but even better!
I agree, it's a very interesting interview. And long. It can be sped up to 25% or even 50%, though the current, calm pace does allow for the gold nuggets Gatto drops to settle more firmly.
"So my theory is that when aspiring conformists — who look for love in any form — grow up without seeing the face of the machine, they remain compliant."
What an amazing article Tessa.👏 100% true.
And also there's fear. Fear is a big deal in those psychological manipulation tricks. It is the energy that creates all this ugliness in the world. Fear withholds love.

Thank You for the piece you wrote onMercola's site,Tessa.
You interviewed Cyd Charise Ropp, a Gnostic practitioner and writer.
I am enjoying her work on her new Substack. https://cydropp.substack.com/p/new-gnostic-psychology#details
:-)
Thank you, John! I am so happy when good people make friends through something I did :) xoxoxo
:-) (The magic is workng, at least a little bit.)
Thank you Tessa for posting this interview with John, a great soul, a great educator.

Tessa, you grew up in the USSR. You know way more than you realize about this subject.
Brilliant Tessa Lena, thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Alex!! And I am so happy to hear from you!
I will remember Gatto for, in one or two of his books, singing the praises of Gates - yes, that Gates.
I agree, it's a very interesting interview. And long. It can be sped up to 25% or even 50%, though the current, calm pace does allow for the gold nuggets Gatto drops to settle more firmly.

Thank you, Gina!! And yes, fear is extremely toxic, and the people with not so good intentions love to use it for their purposes
if you go to Grand Theft World you will be able to find all the videos from this interview (3 or 4 videos), it is a great interview!
