George Santayana

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana, Reason In Common Sense

We learn from our personal experience, but we must not limit ourselves to learning only from those experiences. Knowledge is power. How powerful are you? George Santayana’s quote captures in a nutshell why education is so vital.

Artos Academy will help spread knowledge of history, current events, problems facing us today, and what you can do as an individual to help make the world a better place.

Successful people and thriving communities share a common trait: they are resilient. Resilience enables you to quickly bounce back from any difficult circumstance or disruption the world may throw at you. Resilience is a skill that we all must learn, particuarly when you consider how turbulent the world’s economic and political systems have become.

What Artos Academy does

How do you take control of your life in an unstable world?

Choose. Your success today is like a cork in ocean. Change that. Make the decision to take control of your future. This is not as easy as it sounds, because it requires you to change your mindset and perspective.

Act. Take active steps to limit your dependency and gain freedom. Learn how to produce what you need. Learn how to make an income locally or online in a way that has meaning and substance.

Align. Network with others who want control and meaning in their lives. Learn how to join or build online networks with those who have the expertise to help you become resilient.

Join. Build, join, or move to a local community dedicated to building a resilient future, not dependent on a global system run amok, and not vulnerable to disruptions. A community that rewards your contribution with reciprocal loyalty. A community you can trust. Learn how to form a community that’s worth living in and how to propel that community into a stable and abundant future.

The goal of Artos Academy is to help you with every step along this path.

Our Mission:

“To inspire, organize and mobilize individuals physically, emotionally and spiritually to restore the American dream.”

Be prepared

Take the Boy Scouts of America motto to heart. Being prepared doesn’t simply mean having a few gallons of bottled water on hand, or knowing CPR to help an unconscious stranger. True preparedness means having the physical, intellectual and spiritual resources to deal with anything life can throw at you. It enables you, your family and fellow man to survive and thrive.

How long would your family last financially if you lost your job? If food was in short supply due to disaster, could you help a neighbor avoid starvation? In desperate times, would you resort to desperate measures?

Preparedness means more than having a year’s food storage and crates of ammo in the basement – it’s knowing yourself, your capabilities and limitations while putting yourself in a position to handle life’s challenges. Artos Academy will help you be prepared.

How well do our leaders and decision-makers understand the catastrophic errors and miraculous successes of our past? There is a wealth of knowledge acquired throughout the thousands of years of human existence that can help us avoid repeating history’s mistakes, while maximizing human potential.

How well do you know history? Artos Academy will present not just the who, what, where and when facts of critical moments in history, but also – more importantly – the why and how. This education is essential to young and old alike.

Thumbs up!

Our youth are our future. Are we equipping them to take on the challenges that await them in the world?

Today our children face a bleak future of debt that can never be repaid. And they are bombarded with messages every day from parents, teachers, friends, media, celebrities, etc. Those messages are often destructive and hinder their intellectual, emotional and even therir physical development.

Every parent wants their child to have a better life, and it is important that we empower children to embrace good, reject evil, and contribute positively to our communities.

We can no longer leave the education of youth to faceless bureaucrats and teachers who may or may not perform their duties responsibly. Artos Academy will connect with youth, and give them the courage, strength and knowledge to blossom in life. Because if we don’t, someone else will, and it may not be the influence you want your child to be under.

Keep faith

Having faith in a deity, someone or something is not easy to do. Placing confidence something without concrete evidence that it will end positively for you, demands great faith.

Yet we do it all the time – faith in God, faith in a spouse, faith that the bridge we drive over will not collapse, faith that the food we eat will not poison us. Even atheism requires faith that there is no transcendent reality.

But having faith is not enough. How do you apply your faith? Everyone should be able to know your faith based on the way you live your life and the fruits of your labors. America’s freedoms, opportunities and Judeo-Christian foundation are being threatened as never before. Artos Academy will assist you in the application of your faith.

It is no surprise that the relationship between America and Israel was noted by our founders on many occasions. The connection between the land of Israel and its people goes back thousands of years. Their heritage is steeped with history, tradition, and holiness. Israel represents an island of freedom and religious tolerance in a sea of oppression amid constant threats of persecution.

It is vital that Israel be supported not just by Christians and Jews, but all who hold dear the ideals of liberty, peace and courage. Israel illuminates the danger facing America today. Artos Academy defends Israel and the Israeli people against its many determined foes, with the hope of lasting peace and coexistence.

Rebound, rebuild, rebirth

Although we face many trials, Americans are still great. This is our opportunity to rise and rebound. We must not occupy but organize; not revolt but rebuild. This is our unique moment in history, a calling to rise up and stand.

Our goal is that every like-minded citizen does everything possible to prepare for whatever may come. Prepared for emergencies big and small, natural and man-made. Have the food, medicine and necessities available, not only for your family, but to share with others in your neighborhood, church and community.

Artos Academy will act as a guide to mobilize Americans to assist each other as first responders, physically, emotionally and spiritually. We must give a hand up and not a hand out, while caring for the elderly and nurturing the young.

Artos Academy adheres to the original blueprint of the Constitution and Bill of Rights adopted by our Founding Fathers. A rebirth of their vision will spark a new industrial revolution in our nation. One that will bring skills and jobs back to the American people, one entrepreneur and one town at a time.

We must choose the path less traveled, because that is the road that leads to greatness. We will not be alone. Some will walk beside us, some will lead, some will follow, and some we must carry. Our journey will be rich with honor, achievement, and unshakable faith.

We must emerge from this looming darkness and follow the light. Godspeed America.
