The Assignment - In the year 2036, we lived differently than ever before. Everything has changed even our education system. It was demonic and stupid. It was brought about by the high echelons of power and we detectives and truth-seekers knew there was a purpose. Dumbing down our world through our educational system was the intention. There was no escaping it. And with this investigation, we were determined to prove it for all to see. Luckily we had much-needed help from a rebellious anonymous group that had the same agenda. Together we all worked to prove that anyone deserved the education of their choosing with no governmental interference. And so it was, America recovered and made it back from the brink of disaster before it changed society beyond repair. Don't believe anything you hear. Question everything because that's when the "real" truth comes out. https://www.heritage.org/education/commentary/im-former-teacher-heres-how-your-children-are-getting-indoctrinated-leftist **I hope you find these audio episodes interesting and I encourage listeners to do some deep-dive research and go down rabbit holes on the stories told in these episodes. The "real truth" is there. **All in story form, these episode topics have the truth within the storyline but please note that I took liberties and creative license with the names, people, pseudonyms, places, and events for a better storytelling experience.

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:07.400
of the episode is based on the truth, and in

00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:12.279
most episodes, some of the events, people, places, pseudonyms, and

4
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.160
the lifestyle that I lead as a truth Detective are

5
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:20.559
fictionalized for a better storytelling experience. For each episode, go

Enjoy this episode, Welcome This is Truth Detective with Stephanie Lee.

8
00:00:30.280 --> 00:01:02.079
Dystopian stories the assignment in a modern day dystopia world

9
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.959
of twenty thirty six, where individual freedom is a distant memory.

10
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:12.280
The government dictates every aspect of citizens' lives. Your very

11
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:18.040
own Truth Detective has found some devious actions in the works. Yes,

12
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.719
we all know that any type of true American education

13
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.879
as we knew it is a relic of the past,

14
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:31.120
a luxury reserved only for the elite echelons of society.

15
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:36.040
The middle and lower classes are discouraged from pursuing education

16
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.840
beyond what the government deems necessary for their assigned roles

17
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:45.879
in society. You see, everyone's assigned roles are based on

18
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.879
many things, family, class, and potential, proven skills or the

19
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:54.120
lack of skills. There is no choice in the matter

20
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:59.239
for these unfortunate students. Tests will be given to evaluate

21
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:03.560
each young What class lower or middle is your family

22
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:07.480
in the education system is given to the federal and

23
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:11.199
the individual state government that is the Department of Education.

24
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:16.879
And it also depends on the racial demographics and socioeconomics

25
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.599
of each state and what each state's natural resources are

26
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.479
that will in turn result in jobs from the citizens

27
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.080
of that state. This was not to my liking or

28
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.159
any of my detective colleagues liking. If your state resource

29
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.319
is coal, for example, then working in the coal mines

30
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:39.319
is your fate. If your state resource is chalk, then

31
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:44.039
working in the chalk minds is your fate, and so on. This,

32
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.840
it is believed, will result in fairness to all. No

33
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.080
one will be above anyone else. There will be no

34
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.439
more meritocracy. Yes, it was the truth. You will do

35
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.560
what you are told or suffer the consequences, whatever it

36
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.560
may be. There will not be any decisions about your future,

37
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.199
and it is a severe crime in today's America to

38
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.120
even think that there is. It certainly wasn't that way

39
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.039
when I was growing up. But that was forty years ago,

40
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.719
and as history has proven, many things can change in

41
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:24.599
far less time. We detectives navigate this oppressive society where

42
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:29.039
one's fate is predestined by not just the federal government,

43
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:33.520
but also by the state. Yes, all citizens are zombie

44
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.680
like now going to and from their respective jobs. Most

45
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.879
people hated what they were paid to do. I heard

46
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:46.000
words like on rewarding, mundane, and boring when asking about

47
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.759
the work. These American citizens were doing jobs that were

48
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:54.240
good for the state's economy and had no individual rights involved.

49
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.400
Everyone who was a truth seeking detective and today's America

50
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:03.000
was a detective. When American society started to change, we

51
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:08.520
were already college educated investigative researchers by our choosing. In

52
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:12.000
other words, we chose to be in our detective roles

53
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:16.279
at a very young age, by choice. So we were

54
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.720
an effect grandfathered in. We were secure in our profession

55
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.160
as detectives, even though the government didn't like it. They

56
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.720
had no choice but to accept what we did. Forty

57
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:33.160
years ago, my colleagues and I harbored a curiosity about

58
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.879
the world beyond our profession. Questioning the system is a

59
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.480
dangerous game. We all know that it now was a

60
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:44.600
society where descent is swiftly punished. We may not have

61
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:50.079
started as dissenters, but we were dissenters. Now the America

62
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.240
we knew was indeed no more. We detectives were trouble makers.

63
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.759
That's why we must keep a low profile, even if

64
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:02.959
we have permission to continue with our careers. As we

65
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:07.040
delve into this our latest case, a series of mysterious

66
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:11.199
disappearances from the Department of Education that the government dismisses

67
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.360
as irrelevant are uncovered and a hidden network of a

68
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:20.600
rebellious anonymous group emerges. This group, who dare to challenge

69
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:24.000
the status quo, Well, we detect this found through an

70
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.000
unknown but reliable source that some teachers are teaching what

71
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:32.399
is called wrongthink, a term used to describe firstly the

72
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.319
dumbing down of education which doesn't necessarily allow a student

73
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.600
to move ahead and their educational goals, but also the

74
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:44.399
anti American agenda. Didn't we know America was bad? And

75
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.240
if you were American, shame on you. And so it was.

76
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:52.839
This rebellious anonymous group believed in the same things we do,

77
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.959
and the power of knowledge and the importance of critical

78
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:01.319
thinking and education, readying an individual for a career of

79
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:05.720
their choosing rather than an oppressive educational system deciding the

80
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.399
career for each person, and of course, thinking what the

81
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:14.199
government decides it wants students to know. American values and

82
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:18.600
traditions that we Detectives and baby boomers hold dearly in

83
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.519
our hearts, are to be no longer taught. And so

84
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:26.680
it is. We wanted to reclaim freedom for all who

85
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.480
wanted to have any education, whether K through twelve, a

86
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.439
trade school, or a college education. In other words, freedom

87
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:37.959
to choose what a person's career path would ultimately be.

88
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.480
After all, everyone ought to be able to have individual rights,

89
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.759
individual thoughts and actions about the future they wished to lead.

90
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:50.519
We grew up that way, so why change something that's

91
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:56.519
not broken. Right way, Detectives and the rebellious Anonymous group

92
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.800
are growing strong in our desire to break free from

93
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:04.079
the constraints placed upon our youth and the American way

94
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.000
of life, which of course includes education, in other words,

95
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.439
the old way of American life. Making decisions about schooling,

96
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:17.360
future salary, and whatever socioeconomic level in life that ought

97
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:21.199
to be up to you, me and everybody. As we

98
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:24.680
unravel the truth behind the disappearance of these Department of

99
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:29.600
Education officials mentioned earlier, who were educational dissenters, quote unquote,

100
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.639
we begin to question everything we have ever known. Why

101
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:37.639
does the government fear the original education system? Are they

102
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:41.759
afraid of empowering our citizens to think for themselves? The

103
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.800
answer I'm afraid is yes. Through my research at the library,

104
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:51.079
I find an article on the Heritage Foundation website. It

105
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.600
states that your children are being indoctrinated by the education

106
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.959
system originally designed to teach them how to think critically,

107
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.600
and lately has been weaponized by the radical left to

108
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:08.879
push an anti American agenda. Well, the left uses a

109
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:14.040
combination of propaganda and suppression to push kids into socialism

110
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:20.959
and anti patriotism. It is brainwashing. Authentic American history lessons

111
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.680
were being censored and decidedly being left out of our

112
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.439
educational system. I believe this is true, and so do

113
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.080
all of us detectives who went deep into the rabbit holes.

114
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:36.120
After all, this was once the greatest country in the world.

115
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:40.120
We truth seekers grew up learning about America and through

116
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.320
that education, had a level of patriotism that I, for one,

117
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:48.679
was very proud of. This we understand is the dumbing

118
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:53.000
down of America through our current educational system. There is

119
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:57.240
no room for our minds, critical thinking and individual thoughts.

120
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:01.360
The only room is what those in power want you

121
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.840
to know. After all, it's so much better to control

122
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:09.799
the populace. As my colleagues and I research deeper, utilizing

123
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.840
the rebellious Anonymous group that we've become a part of,

124
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:17.679
we discovered the true extent of the government's control over society.

125
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:21.679
Jobs are not designed based on individual skills or passions,

126
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.240
but on what the government deems most beneficial to maintain

127
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:30.159
their power. The concept of meritocracy is a distant memory,

128
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:35.039
replaced by our rigid hierarchy that stifles creativity and innovation.

129
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.559
It's horrible. Through our journey we never waver or grapple

130
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:44.519
with the moral dilemma of upholding the oppressive educational system

131
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:48.720
that has defined our modern life. We naturally have joined

132
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:53.639
the rebellious Anonymous group and their fight for educational freedom.

133
00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:56.840
There is power in numbers, and as we uncover the

134
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.639
government's darkest secrets, were rebels and fact finders realize, of

135
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:06.320
course the obvious. The key to dismantling the oppressive regime

136
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:10.279
lies in the power of knowledge and education. How can

137
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:12.879
we stop them? We didn't know at first, and it

138
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.320
was a gamble, but we would give it a try.

139
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.120
This we all agree is our best bet to prove

140
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.799
to the global community that education is the way out

141
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.320
of this demonic world we now live in. We go

142
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.960
to pirate radio stations and use our Ham Radio licensed

143
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:35.039
detectives to let Americans know of their nefarious activities. We

144
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.799
protest and set up makeshift booths outside busy box stores,

145
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.120
and sure enough word got out. It began to spread

146
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:48.200
to all states of the Union what the evil intentions were. Unbelievably,

147
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:53.360
parents listened and teachers actually resigned in huge numbers. We

148
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.759
all must decide what type of world we want. Yes,

149
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.879
we must dream of a better society. Now know we

150
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.000
will fight their awful regime like never before and point

151
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.559
it out to everyone and hope people listen and make

152
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.559
the change. We will not allow this future of our

153
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.879
society that is on the brink of collapse. But rather

154
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.080
we look to a future where every man, woman and

155
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.519
child oversees their own destiny. And so as soon as

156
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.639
we detectives started getting the word out, they those devils

157
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.039
in charge had no power. The Board of Education dissenters

158
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:34.720
that I mentioned earlier in the episode were freed from

159
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:39.360
a hell like prison for speaking out against the educational

160
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.080
system that they had to teach under. We were so

161
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:47.399
gloriously happy that we all celebrated with drinks, cakes, candies,

162
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:51.080
and beasts of all sorts. The Department of Education in

163
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:56.759
our American government overturned their hideous, drastic anti American education system.

164
00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:01.080
After all, there were more of us than them. This

165
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:06.159
allowed students to choose rightly so their endeavors, whatever they

166
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:09.440
may be. We had won this battle, but there would

167
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.159
be more. We were ready for them no matter what.

168
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:16.519
With the assistance of these rebellious, anonymous groups that kept

169
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.120
showing up, we were determined to make all the changes

170
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.360
that would bring our country and ultimately the world, to

171
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.879
a beautiful place that we needed and deserved.
