A brief study by the OECD concludes that excessive smartphone use is responsible for the decline in student achievement.
The latest OECD Pisa School Study 2022 confirmed this decline in performance.
The person responsible for education at the OECD, Andreas Schleicher, made the following explosive
statement to the Swedish daily newspaper "Dagens Nyheter":
"The link between school closures and the loss of knowledge is not as strong as the link we see between
pupils' smartphone use and falling learning performance."
Sweden and Denmark have even significantly reduced the use of digital devices in the classroom for these reasons.
Interestingly, however, neither the OECD nor the media were interested in publicizing these results.
For example, the press release on the study cannot be found on the OECD website.
And the media? You couldn't find titles like "Smartphones to blame for decline in education" in the newspapers either.
Instead, the magazine "DER SPIEGEL" ran the headline:
"OECD recommends the targeted use of cell phones in the classroom" and the text in the introduction:
"Pupils who are constantly staring at their cell phones don't get to learn.
But if cell phones are used specifically in the classroom, this can even increase learning success.
This is shown by an OECD study."
"DER SPIEGEL" managed the feat of completely reversing the tenor of the study in the headline.
Although all the results listed in the study had a cautionary undertone.
However, nowhere does it claim that the use of smartphones would lead to increased learning success.
Other leading media, such as the magazine "DIE ZEIT" and "ntv" have also reported on the
study in an idiosyncratic and distorted manner.
It makes it clear that smartphones are the least suitable teaching tool because they distract pupils from the lesson.
The study explicitly recommends a ban on cell phones, albeit with certain restrictions.
The media reports, on the other hand, unanimously claim the opposite, or something that
at least tempts people to think the opposite.
So where does this uniform twisting of the study's statements come from?
Some media do not even inform their readers that their text is essentially dpa agency material, i.e.
articles prefabricated by the German Press Agency.
And this despite the fact that they have adopted it almost word for word.
The journalists from dpa turned a report that was clearly critical of smartphones into an ostensibly pro-digitalization report.
But what reason does the dpa have to twist the statements into the opposite?
Aren't press agencies obliged to report neutrally, objectively and independently?
So it's worth taking a look behind the scenes at dpa:
The dpa - like the APA , the AFP and the government-funded research collective "CORRECTIV" - is a key member of GADMO .
GADMO is a German-Austrian digital media observatory that was founded in November 2022 and is funded by the EU Commission.
This monitors social media and controls social media platforms on behalf of governments.
GADMO claims to act independently and free from commercial interests.
Is that really the case?
The GADMO project is funded by the EU and is commissioned by the EU to check whether social platforms are implementing
the prescribed "Code of Conduct for Combating Disinformation".
The latter certainly has an interest in discrediting unpopular opinions, as the President of the European Commission, Ursula
von der Leyen, called on the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2024 to focus on combating so-called "disinformation".
The German government also donated one million euros of taxpayers' money to dpa to advertise for the
established media and combat independent competition critical of the government - known as "disinformation".
The problem is that those in power and their henchmen, the established media, define what constitutes "disinformation".
It is therefore not surprising that one member of the supposedly independent GADMO advisory board is
the managing director of CeMAS , Josef Holnburger.
CeMAS is a think tank that specializes in denigrating critics of the powerful as anti-Semites and conspiracy theorists.
Last but not least, a member of the influential American think tank Atlantic Council sits on the advisory board.
Against this background, it becomes clear why the media do not report neutrally and objectively, as they are
nothing more than the enforcement organs of the powerful.
Their task is to represent the predetermined, supposedly "correct" opinion.
Finally, an interesting detail:
The GADMO is linked to the EU's SOMA project, the "Social Observatory for Disinformation and Social Media Analysis".
Significantly, SOMA is the name of a drug used by those in power to keep the population calm and compliant in
Aldous Huxley's dark science fiction novel "Brave New World".
It is precisely in this sense that these observatories network and support fact-checkers loyal to the
authorities and supply them with the appropriate, already formulated narratives on all possible topics.
Conclusion: Why was it so important to the dpa and its backers to turn the study into the opposite?
One reason could be that the global string-pullers want to push for increasing
digitalization and people's dependence on smartphones.
For example, Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark said at the World Economic Forum 2022 that he expects telecommunications
devices to be built directly into our bodies by around 2030.
In this way, it would be child's play to control people and thus manipulate any mistrust or
questioning of predetermined political opinion.
In other words: to keep the population calm and compliant - in a "brave new world"!
So it's no wonder that critical voices about smartphones are unwelcome among the global string-pullers.
Dear viewers, this example clearly shows that news agencies and their fact-checkers are anything
but independent and free from commercial interests.
While on the surface we have the appearance of a democracy, ultimately everything is determined by a few backers.
In the case of children's cell phone use, for example, completely different goals are being pursued
- but by no means the well-being of our children!
Global organizations such as the OECD obviously have no interest in explaining the unforeseeable and
far-reaching consequences that the ever-increasing use of smartphones will have for our children.
And declining school performance is only one small aspect of the negative effects - as has
already been documented in many Kla.TV programs.
That's why you should listen carefully when the media, fact-checkers or so-called scientific
institutions try to tell you what is right and what is wrong.
Don't let them take away your power of judgment and discernment, but check their statements
and take action against lies and distortions.
Because you decide whether or not you and those around you will be euthanized by their "drugs".
