Not only did they keep going, but they suppressed public knowledge of this information and fought efforts to stop them tooth and nail.

while this is a very very important and useful analysis, there is something to be highlighted, at one point in the video, the claim is made that declining literacy rates and reading rates among youth is largely a myth. this is not true.
It has always been bad, but it's never been worse. even in elite institutions, the rot has already reached inward so that management is struggling to process critical context in almost anything they read or wrote.
It's all falling apart and people are in deep denial because the only explanation is that it's by design, and they've been aggressively brainwashed into believing that nothing happens according to the design of a few, angrily and violently lashing out when that possibility is suggested, especially if hard evidence is provided to them.

Those who cannot deny what they see are desperately grasping at straws to explain it away without holding anyone culpable: "conspiracy-without-conspirators" is the new turn of phrase. It's utterly desperate.
Wo and despair to the makers of this descent to the end of their immense wealth on Earth, for we know what they've done!
