The Government is Screwing With Our Lives! Shutting Down the Government... Open Memoir

 

By the time I was promoted to Associate Director of Facilities Planning and Management, which I later learned had been negotiated by my former boss, Bill Campbell, Director, I'd had over 30 years in the administration of West Virginia University.

The last years of that career were changed by...white men seeking power... until I went into Job Burnout trying to deal with men who knew nothing about my job...

It is now Day !?! (Who knows how long it will last?) of the shutdown, with soldiers not being paid, their family begging for exempting them from the closure... With more people being fired, with the democratic party being blamed for not being willing to support a decision to take away health care to millions... Do they really think anybody other than these White Supremacists Men think we believe their shenanigans, their lies, their game playing?!?

I've been listening to Frank Shaeffer who says that he's an atheist who prays... I liked the fact that he is willing to share that, with his background, he is not quite sure how to come right out and say he believes...

After all, he was the son of a major Evangelical Christian preacher who led us into the present crisis in 2015 when that group chose and openly supported a man who has been proven over and over to be a criminal... and a racist, which he learned from his father as they formed a policy to not rent spaces in their apartments... Buildings his father had received government financial support to construct. (Read Mary Trump books on BRH.)

But Schaeffer in this video was the first who mentioned what I had already connected--I'll be writing more on connections--which, I believe, was the beginning of violence in church families...

I learned about a man named Dobson from this book--I did several  posts on this on BRH so do check it out if you have not already read these articles.

First, Dobson was head of the family organization who came to lead the Christians. I'd heard of him, but never thought of learning more at that time. Until I read this book. You might say that Dobson was much like Trump. He was not a leader in the church, he was a psychologist, or some other title in the sciences. But he became a cult leader, much like we had today. Tell me, why do Christians depend upon somebody other than God if they believe in God? I have the same question for the Catholica church... Why do they need somebody between Jesus and me... Plus all those saints... I'm not ridiculing what that church offers. I am merely asking the question... As part of the discussion...

Specifically, Dr. Dobson, when asked about the rod and the child from the Bible, he decided it was proper to punish children... If you immediately see the connection I did, then you are beginning to understand my thinking... If you disagree, let's talk about it...

If a child is physically touched in anger from the parent, that is not what Jesus teaches! He said to have the children come to Him... Can we then connect that those who followed the Dobson cult that they also believed in guns, guns, guns... and all that that has led to, including the murder of children, often by other children. Surely we must connect the possible abuse of children by parents to the later abuse and bullying of other children, and ultimately to take a gun and shoot other children??? All within the Christian family who were Dobson followers?

Let me just say that the only other important point for me in relation to politics, was that Dobson refused to even talk with Candidate Obama, who later was elected for two terms! 

Was that when the underbelly of hate, power-hungry white men started to plan for Project 2025? And the catastrophe that has become Today's Republican Party which cannot do their job without bowing to King-wannabe Trump? I tend to think so. Because we all know by now that Trump was not competent enough to do in his first term, what he is now doing...direct from his mandated playbook from the richest and most powerful groups who obviously are white supremacists... I didn't read the book but Velshi, MSNBC news commentator has devoted many sessions going over that close to 1000-page book which details specifics of accomplishments to be achieved... Those, we know, was what were signed by Executive Orders when Trump came into office, often not even knowing what the Order was about, but signing anyway... Those smarter than Trump knew they could achieve their secret desires to move white supremacy with Christian Nationalism as the United States religious mandate... Just like so many immigrants came to America to escape, these strongmen wannabes are striving to recreate a power structure that will smother out any thought of freedom... loss of Freedom of Speech is already in effect in many ways. Don't believe me...keep reading because I'll be talking more about it... using another past Christian leader to start the conversation...

A final thought... Recently as I talked about what is happening with my best friend, these words came out of my mind... "When Jesus died and his words were recorded, the Old Testament should have been Archived..." Was that just my own thinking from all the reading, or a God Incident giving the words? Think about it and I'll be talking about it more later...

God Bless
