The Annapolization of America: A Social Epidemic The National Review has recently brought to the nation's attention the fact that the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD has become 'civilianized' -- to the point that the main purpose for its being, that is, producing 'warriors' and inspiring the 'warrior ethos' in our future naval core combat leadership -- and may spread the 'virus' to other of our nation's premiere service academies. In a word, the other service academies fear that they may become Annapolized -- and thus, destroyed. At this link, read this cogent article and then read the essay attached to it, 'The Annapolization of America: A Social Epidemic.' This essay summarizes a book written by Gerald L. Atkinson in 1996, entitled "The New Totalitarians,' which (along with this Web Site) document in detail the truth and accuracy of the National Review article. This essay reveals that the Annapolization virus may not only be spreading to our other premiere service academies, but has been spreading for the past 40 years in every institution in the land. The essay reveals the nature of this contagion, the mechanism for its rapid spread, and the role played by Chaos Theory, Network Theory (in the context of the popular idea of 'Six Degrees of Separation'), and a 'Tipping Point' idea as a means of explaining the process by which the 'science of surprise' is carried out.
The de-facto Peter Singer Chair of Ethics at the U.S. Naval Academy. This 'shadow' ethics chair results from the fact that Peter Singer's text has been mandated by civilian professors there as required reading in the Academy's New Age 'ethics' program. Singer is the Princeton bio-ethicist who has recently publicly praised bestiality (sex with animals) and who has in the past written in favor of neonaticide (killing of unwanted infants up to 28 days after birth). Will the Naval Academy Foundation use its $175 million fund raising drive to make this de-facto Distinguished Chair a funded reality in the future?
Secular Humanism at the U.S. Naval Academy Choose this link to find out how the New Age 'ethics' program at the Academy promotes America's new state-sponsored religion -- secular humanism. About a year ago, a former chaplain (who resigned his commission and retired as a result of what he saw being developed in the 'ethics' program) at the Naval Academy told me that the military chaplains there are expressly forbidden to participate in the Character Development Seminars, which are touted as the centroid of the new 'ethics' program. Navy O-5s and O-6s are eligible to lead and 'facilitate' Midshipmen, that is, be the New Age 'priests' and 'pastors' in the new 'ethics' seminars, but ordained military chaplains are not allowed to participate. So, what is going on here? This means that chaplains, who traditionally tended to the moral development and ethical practices of our nation's military personnel are now expressly forbidden from participating in the central activity of their craft in the new 'ethics' program. Meanwhile, uninitiated, ill-prepared, and over-worked Naval officers are forced to take on the task of 'informing' the ethical character of the Academy's midshipmen. And the Mids under their charge are forced to complete a mandatory 'ethics' program. That, folks, is secular humanism - the New Age, enforced, state religion in which America's young are being indoctrinated at the Naval Academy. At this link, read my essay on how this fits in with the other aspects of the Clintonized 'ethics' and education programs at the U.S. Naval Academy.
The de-facto Jane Fonda Distinguished Chair of anti-Vietnam War Studies at the U.S. Naval Academy. Choose this link to read about the anti-Vietnam War novels by Tim O'Brien which have been mandated as required reading in the Academy's English Department. O'Brien's novels, celebrated by the power elites of the Boomer generation, who dodged the draft, fled to Canada, demonstrated against that war (some overseas, and others in capitals of communist states), and who let others less fortunate than they serve and die in their stead, have a single purpose -- to apply Critical Theory to America's involvement in that war. Will the Naval Academy Foundation use its $175 million fund raising drive to make the de-facto Jane Fonda Distinguished Chair of anti-Vietnam War Studies a funded reality in the future?
A 'shadow' de-facto Women's Studies and African-American Studies Department at the U.S. Naval Academy. These 'shadow' studies programs have been implemented within the English Department at the U.S. Naval Academy. Such politically correct programs are a fact of life in the nation's major liberal-left colleges and universities. There, they are at least in the open for all to see. They are in operation at the Naval Academy under the cover of mandatory required reading of texts in English courses. Choose this link to read about these texts by Toni Morrison, the de-facto holder of the 'shadow' Distinguished Chair of Race and Gender at the Academy. Toni Morrison shares more than the holding of Distinguished Chairs at Princeton University with Peter Singer. Both write about bestiality (sex with animals); Singer as an ethical practice, Morrison as a novelist who celebrates bestiality, necrophilia (sex with the dead), and incest as a means of portraying the depravity of black men and the victimhood of black women. And it is all the 'white man's' fault. Toni Morrison is a master at applying postmodern deconstruction and Critical Theory to race and gender in America. Will the Naval Academy Foundation use its $175 million fund raising drive to make the 'shadow' de-facto Women's Studies and African-American Studies Programs a funded reality in the future?
Rebuttals to the 'Proceedings' Defense of the New Age Ethics Program at the Academy
This series of essays by Dr. Gerald L. Atkinson and VADM Must Remain Anonymous USN (Ret.) rebuts CAPT Mark Clemente's defense ('Why We Teach Leadership and Ethics at the Naval Academy') of the new 'ethics' program at the U.S. Naval Academy which appeared in the February 2000 issue of the Navy's 'Proceedings' magazine. This series of essays are presented here because the 'Proceedings' would not publish them (even in abbreviated form) without myriad delay and 'censorial' editing. They are entitled, 'The Stockdale Dilemma: Why Stoicism at the Academy?', 'The Nancy Sherman Dilemma: Who is Conning Whom?', 'Who Chooses America's heroes?', 'Two Major Faults in the New Ethics Program,' and 'Leadership, Ethics, and POWs.' The latter essay was authored by VADM Anonymous.
The Judas Goat at the U.S. Naval Academy
This essay describes the roles of the shepherd, sheep, black sheep, and the Judas Goat in the new 'ethics' program at the Academy. Black sheep are the 'apparent' leaders. Other sheep instinctively follow the black sheep. There are only a few black sheep in any herd. Small groups of sheep may graze with a black sheep and follow it wherever it goes. When all of the flock's black sheep are present, one knows that all of the other sheep in the herd are present. This provides an efficiency for the shepherd. All one has to do is count the few black sheep. If all are present, then all of the sheep are accounted for. The other, more dangerous category of naval officer, is akin to the Judas goat. The stockyards use such a goat to lead the sheep to slaughter. Without the aid of a Judas goat, the sheep would mill around endlessly in the pen and would not enter or traverse the chute to the slaughter house. The Judas goat, mingling with the sheep, is trained to lead them out of the pen and down the chute to the slaughterhouse. And at the last second, the Judas goat is allowed to escape by a side-gate while the sheep go to their appointed end. Read this essay to find out who the most dangerous Judas Goat was in the Academy's new 'ethics' program.
Nuns and Midshipmen This essay tells the story of how an Immaculate Heart of Mary order of nuns was destroyed by the 'sensitivity training' methods of Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow in the mid-1960s. They had become famous in the early 1960s for promoting a humanistic or 'third force psychology.' They were the forerunners of today's therapeutic education movement. Both were well-schooled in the 'sensitivity training' methods of small-group encounters developed by Kurt Lewin in the U.S. and the Tavistock Institute in Britain. In 1965 they drew the attention of the Mother Superior of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) order of nuns in Los Angeles, CA. This innovative order conducted a retreat in which 'all community rules were suspended.' Outside psychologists conducted a 'teach in. The results of this sort of innovation were predictable. After allowing the psychologists in, the nuns became aware of 'how dictatorial superiors were and in turn how dependent, submissive and helpless nuns were when it came to working with the outside world.' As a result of this experiment, hundreds of nuns (out of the 590 in the order) asked to be dispensed from their vows. In a period of just a few years, Carl Rogers had destroyed the IHM order and the 90 schools at which the nuns taught. The sensitivity training sessions had separated them from their religious discipline and plunged them into a 'renewed' religious order, which meant "we were together constantly, talking endlessly and intensively ... about love and hope and philosophy." All of this "intensely emotional talk" about "great thinkers and modern psychology" inevitably led to sexual feelings, which inevitably led to sexual activity, which inevitably led to a religious crisis when it became apparent that the nuns were acting in ways which were incompatible with the vows they had taken." Compare this account with the writings of Dr. Nancy Sherman, the architect of the new 'ethics' program at the U.S. Naval Academy. They are strikingly similar!
'Leadership and Ethics Training at the Academy' (click this link to see entire essay)
This essay summarizes the 'ethics' training introduced at the Academy by Dr. Nancy Sherman and her 'change agents' in the 'ethics' department. The former Superintendent, ADM Charles Larson, describes the required 'ethics' course and a new Mandatory Integrity (or Character) Development Seminar series which inculcate 'situational ethics' into the psyche of the unsuspecting midshipmen. Evidence of this trend is taken from the official publication of the USNA Alumni Association, Shipmate. A prize-winning essay by a Midshipman 3/C is analyzed for evidence of the New Age 'values clarification' program at the Academy.
'What is Sensitivity Training?'
This essay introduces the subject and traces its development to its roots in the psychological warfare experiments conducted by the U.S., Britain, and the Soviet Union during WWII. It reveals roles played by Kurt Lewin of the U.S., the Tavistock Institute in Britain, and Alexander Luria in the Soviet Union. It describes how 'sensitivity training' was introduced into the public schools K-12 education curricula, business, government, and now in the U.S. military.
'Sensitivity Training in the U.S. Military'
This essay describes the extent to which this mind-control method has been embedded into the military through a structure of equal opportunity or 'affirmative action' commissars. Specific examples from recent experience are provided.
A Real-Life 'Sensitivity Training' Session. Choose this link to find the truth about the totalitarian nature of 'sensitivity training' as it is practiced in American culture today. This 'first hand' account of such a session undertaken by Dr. Gerald L. Atkinson is described in detail. If you have never been exposed to the most effective tool in the modern science of coercion, 'sensitivity training,' it is well worth the effort to seek out the opportunity to attend such a session. The subject of the training session was 'Making Our K-12 Schools Safe for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered Youth,' which was the theme of the Workshop conducted under the auspices of the Center for Disease Control, the AIDS Administration of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and the Maryland State Department of Education -- our federal and state tax dollars at work. And what does one learn from such a 'sensitivity training' session? First, one learns that these sessions are extremely authoritarian and tightly controlled by the 'facilitator.' Second, one must understand that these 'sensitivity training' sessions are very carefully orchestrated to serve an AGENDA. The subject matter is very carefully regimented and controlled by narrowly defining the range of discussion topics. This is an important part of assuring the desired outcome. And what is that? You will either be forced to change your 'world view' on the subject matter by the coercive psychological methods of the encounter group -- using peer pressure -- or if that does not work, you will be rendered 'passive' by the confrontational atmosphere if you have a 'differing' view of the world and can be intimidated into silence. You will be rendered unable to formulate a RESISTANCE to the radical feminist agenda. And if that does not work, you will be excluded from the group. Anyone who opposes this coercion will be either silenced or expelled. That is how 'sensitivity training' is being used in America today -- in our public schools, in our elite universities and in our public discourse. That is how it was conducted in this workshop. Read this account of a real-life 'sensitivity training' session and become AWARE!
'What is the Frankfurt School?'
This essay summarizes the activities of a group of German Marxist intellectuals who migrated to the U.S. in 1933 and became the primary motivators behind the counter-culture revolution of the mid-1960s. It reveals who they were, what their intentions were, and how they took over the psyche of the elite Boomers who now have absolute power over every institution in America. It reveals their connections to the gurus who invented sensitivity training.
'Cheating at the U.S. Naval Academy'
For the past two years, officials at the Academy have failed to properly discipline two Midshipmen for violations of the Honor Code. One cheated on an assigned term paper by copying (nearly verbatim) another's term paper and submitting it as his own. According to the Baltimore Sun, the school's faculty handbook states that, "...a finding that a midshipman has violated the honor code 'will normally result in separation' from the Academy." The Mids, both football players, one of whom was charged last summer with raping a female midshipman at an off-campus party in Arnold, MD, played and practiced with the team until the latter was suspended in July pending the outcome of his trial. His story is discussed in the essay entitled, "Affirmative Action at the U.S. Naval Academy," at the link 'latest news' on ethics at the academy on this page. The 'cheater' has yet to be disciplined. He has been given a 'pass.' The fact that the U.S. Naval Academy serves radical feminism and gives 'preference' to certain groups is described in 'The Pilson Case' essay at the same link above. The story regarding the latest 'cheating' scandal at the Academy is at the link to the Baltimore Sun article.
