Targeted by Russian bombs Aleppo, Syrian civil war maybe a contrived human sacrifice. The population of Syria had and maybe still have a high population growth percentage, women having too many children. I speculate, when the Syrian civil war ends another conflict will begin in some other part of the Middle East.

Nicolas Cage, “Lord of War” 2005 movie, myself having seen the movie on television during late night hours, the movie describes how worldwide terrorism is armed with AK47s. At the end of the movie, Nicolas Cage says to his Interpol capturer police officer, “the president of the United States sells more weapons in one day than I sell in an entire year. The president needs me to sell weapons to people he doesn't want to be seen selling weapons to”. Interpol police officer is commanded by a general to release Nicolas Cage.

Hollywood produces many Apocalypse story movies as though Hollywood is producing new story line bible stories, Hollywood being the new bible story presenter. The Jesus cross being holly wood, provides a clue.

To get away with lies, making out that Western economy leaders are morally good, school education traumatises children, to believe what they're told, in story format, based on the idea that people "get stories" as in people like to listen to stories, understanding similar themes.

The few people realising human sacrifice redirected lies, are believed by leaders that badly educated humans can't accept reality.

I theorise, the reason many people/adults love their childhood sports, are that their parents followed the same sports, that children copy behaviours from their parents to fit in, and aided by classroom boredom and mental stress, children playing sports, feeling absolutely fabulous compared to school work.
While children are playing sports, spending time watching fellow students playing sports, children grown into adults are bringing back childhood memories of feel good hyperactive induced endorphins, reinforcement pleasures. Adults whom love to watch sports remember images which stimulates endorphins into their brains. As sports loving brains are all about the amygdala and mentally stress damaged hippocampous.

I Googled: “education is about cannon fodder”
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/10/education_and_the_cannon_fodder_2014.html

Be aware, continued research leads readers to vague and boring long readings, I accuse of wearing down readers willingness to continue reading. Be aware that a number of readings focus on more resent names and events, yet exclude any psychological mental stress arguments to be the more relevant active dummying tool. Somehow published arguments don't strongly support education as dummying down population so populations may believe lies to allow populations to except being cannon fodder.

Below is a good quick read using statistics, yet, be aware of website downloads many follow up attachments:

Instead of reading above website page, I “paste special” the below reading for people who fear viruses, into a below PDF file attachment.

At the bottom, another link provides the many readings a poster has posted on the website.

The collapsed private training provider named “Vocation” mentioned September 28, on 10 news, was reported to be 80% financed by government; having collapsed last year; having ASIC investigate the share market traded company. A report shown by channel 10 news showed “inadequate controls” and “a lower quality training experience”.

below is a quicker reading, yet less detailed than attachment above:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-28/john-dawkins-faces-court-over-vocation-collapse/7883942

The company director focused upon for being responsible for the training skills provider Vocation, is former Keating and Hawke government era treasure and education minister, aging John Dawkins.

Channel 10 news said, after the government withheld $20 million of payments, $350 million share price was wiped off the value of the company, I can assume caused the company to collapse.

I strongly suggest this is another example of boom and bust intentionally planned trickery-scam-theft from traumatised by educated investors, using capitalism excuses to trick people out of their investment savings.

An item of propaganda influence:
News media may announce that billions of dollars of unclaimed money is sitting in bank accounts in Australia. All people have to do is to go a website and enter your name and see if there is any unclaimed money you can claim as your own. How many people actually receive unclaimed money is a mystery. Yet, the propaganda value of wanting people to receive unclaimed money is good for providing anecdotal evidence that the capitalist system is not trying to steal citizens savings money.

I'd say, John Dawkins is an old, does what he's told, member of the establishment. As a former minister of education and former treasure, investors would feel John Dawkins would know what he was doing. Financial advisers could recommend Vocation shares as a good/safe investment based on John Dawkins past experience.
Past history, ABC Learning 2009 collapsed would have investors cautious, using John Dawkins would aid investment incentives.

“Vocation” has managed to waste student applicants' time and money, having delayed students time in entering skilled proven by a training degree employment.

The Vocation company collapse is one more indication of government seen attempting to provide skilled workforce training, blaming organisers of providing sub-standard teaching, denied future funding rather than insisting teaching standards need to be fixed. Announcing future funding will be refused, would obviously send traded share prices down.

Many Asian countries who are reported to have poor higher education standards, send their children to Australian universities because Australian universities are said to be believed to have a recognised better quality of education. Yet, you can read how Australian universities standards are sabotaged by foreign student poor speaking skills and the need for universities to provide a positive outcome service to paying customers. Foreign students cheating has been mentioned in the media several times. Foreign students becomes an intentional accuse for poor universities curriculum falling standards.

Poorly educated Asian/foreign students that can't correctly submit to universities studying are themselves, were intentional traumatised by foreign educational institutions, into being easily tricked by government media propaganda.

Wealthy Asians could send their children to Japan and/or Korea, known for excellent schooling and high suicide rates. I suggest, wealthy Asians are sending their teenagers to Australia for faked reasons of university studying, may well be away for Asian teenagers to enter into Australia as Asian students, avoiding Australian immigration laws. Foreign students become a foreign currency income excuse.

Several years ago, an unknown man suddenly appeared on a television news program, saying, “immigration is more like, foreigners need only find an employer, who will agree to hire a foreign visitor, and the process starts from there”.

Does, Official immigration data leave out illegal visa over staying their time and/or the idea of foreign students are allowed to stay, entering through the back door of immigration laws.

Foreign students are an excuse to dumb down the education curriculum to allow Australian universities a need to make profits because government budgets are strained to finance student education. Governments saying by giving tax breaks to high income tax payers, who would also place their unused income money into superannuation funds. Counties can better compete in globalisation economies.

A recent SBS Insight program on literacy, had four middle aged adults being interviewed on why their reading literacy skills were very poor. The adults being questioned seem to focus their blaming accusations onto their school teachers, that teachers believe students couldn't to taught how to read, that students were too dumb.
http://www.sbs.com.au/news/insight/tvepisode/reading-between-lines

Teachers not wanting to teach students; students believed to be too dumb to teach; accusing students of being impossible to teach, provides evidence to my accusations that children are having their learning ability to memorise, traumatised. Aids arguments that HSC leaver teenagers are more difficult to train, compared to, what I believe to be more capable to think children/teenagers that had not gone through school classroom learning education.

When I attended school in the 1960s, I can't remember ever being asked to read. All that teachers asked students to do was to copy blackboard readings into student's text books before the period of the curriculum subject was suddenly ended, beginning a new curriculum subject. Students who could not read from the beginning of first entering school, could copy groups of letters without needing to read any words. I accuse the chalkboard copying as intentional hurrying tactics to stop many children from learning how to read, traumatising future learning incentives. Hurrying also limits students who could read needs to comprehend what's being read.

Children who could read, reading short sentences, holding short sentences for short periods while copying short term memorised sentences into text books, than having to read the next short sentence, hold short term memories until each sentence is copied into a text book. All this hurrying turns into mental stress attached to short memory readings.
