One hundred years later in the year 2000, the world population of people has been reported in recent times, to apparently exceed 6.07 billion people. So in just 100 years and by the year 2000, the world population of people had almost quadrupled. Also understand that during the past 100 years or so, huge populations of people have been murdered and died due to many horrific wars, genocides, abortions and infanticides, government devised famines, and overexposure to environmental toxins to suggest several calamities. In understanding these facts and under all these miserable conditions for many, still the world population of people remarkably has been stated to have quadrupled in a relatively short period of time. Therefore, it can be surmised that when evil societal forces interfere with a human being’s personal and private decisions regarding family matters and matters of religion, that general havoc is wreaked on the entire population of people. It is this author’s belief that in particular, extraordinary fertility rates have been God inspired to considerably increase for some groups and select nationalities of people during the past 100 years due to the interference by some human beings in the sole jurisdictions of God, regarding procreation. Also understand that through evil societal policies of gross immorality, a relatively few people have become extremely wealthy, powerful, and controlling of vast populations of people through the above stated murders, enactments of certain immoral laws and legislation, the incessant promotion of immorality within the society, coercion, brainwashing, mind control, and other strong arm measures that have dictated the very private and very personal aspects of the individual’s life. One of the purposes of the writing of this abridged autobiography is to provide a historical record and an account of the typical common practices, methodologies, and generalities of this society during the past fifty plus years from this author’s perspective. Many specifics and details have been decidedly removed for the consideration of other’s personal privacies and to avoid additional trouble. Be forewarned that violators of this writer’s personal privacy may regret their decision to uncover more detailed facts regarding the incidences and stories presented in this book. Also beware that investigations into another’s personal privacy is in violation of at least one Law of God. Another reason for the writing of this book is to provide the reader with some autobiographical information regarding some of this writer’s life’s experiences which has led to some of the statements of Commentary shown at the end of this book. Other statements written in this section were the combined result of extensive research over the course of about ten years. Also, a recognition, sympathy, and empathy for people who were left ignorant of knowledge regarding history, religion, and science and how world events are interrelated with these subject areas, necessitated the writing of this book. Until provided with an antivirus protected internet access in August of the year 2002, this vital information was withheld from this author as well. However, if capable, free thinking adults still desire to engage in immoralities after reviewing the facts thus acquiring a competency of knowledge, then the consequences of illicit immoral behavior is probably deserved. The hope is that future generations will be better able to recognize a society in decline through the reading of this autobiographical book and take the measures necessary to correct the small problems before overwhelming problems consume the society. Personal advice is offered throughout this book as well as through bibliography cited author’s written discussions and recommendations. In particular, and 2 based on today’s society of vast evil and immorality, one has found many of Richard W. Wetherill’s (“Right is Might”) suggestions and examples helpful when essentially combined with the following of The Ten Commandments and other morality expounded in The Bible. The literary style of this book as some may recognize is basic and reflects to a mild degree the general conversational pattern of today’s society. In conversation today, subject matters are quickly broached and abruptly changed by people as other topics are addressed one after the next in unison, which in this author’s opinion shows a lack of willingness by many to discuss, resolve, and solve problems that is likely due to an inability to cooperate with others, among other factors. This inability to cooperate is at least partially based on the immoral viewpoints of some conversational participants and the interference of evil that causes anxieties and other ailments and repercussions among some or all of the conversational participants perhaps due to a tyrannical mind control situation. Should every person decide through the following of The Ten Commandments and avoidance of Capital Sins and Abominations to assist in solving for the good, only and just one of the critical issues presented in this book, many of today’s societal problems would be solved resulting in happiness, peace, and prosperity for all human beings. Of course this cannot be accomplished without earnest prayer, praise, and thanks to God. It also would be wise to ask God for His mercy in forgiving people including ones own self for immoral behaviors as we too forgive others. A Bible was procured that was promoted as a direct translation from the ancient Aramaic Bible which one initially believed to likely be the most accurate Bible. However in Exodus 20:13 of this Book, Commandment VI is stated “You shall not murder”. As many people who study foreign languages know, a word could have several meanings and connotations. So some people know that there is no one word translation of some words within a native language when translated into another language. If this is the situation then perhaps several words could be shown in parentheses when translating one word to more accurately define the one word being translated. One therefore questions the word murder translated from the ancient Aramaic. Could the word murder in Aramaic also mean to destroy or kill? It seems probable that God would consider brain damaging a person or crippling a person to be destroying or killing a person based on the degree of damages inflicted. Therefore I have decided to use the word kill in Commandment VI as is stated in many other Bibles because kill can mean murder or the destruction of a person by means other than murder. Also, the beginning word of You as stated in some Bibles in Commandments II, III, VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X was not used because You can be interpreted by some people to mean You but not Me. Therefore I have decided to use the word Thou as stated in other Bibles because Thou can be more precisely defined to encompass both You and Me. Due to the realization that some people need and require a group affiliation or many educational and/or professional credentials when presenting information regardless of the evidence presented in that information, one has decided to present the population of people with likely spiritual credentials that are in addition to recognized limited professional and educational experiences. 3 One day before my birth, Pope John XXIII was elected Pope to assume the position of Pope Pius the XII who had departed this world earlier in the month of October 1958. John is the name of my godfather. My brother Paul was born in April of 1963. Pope Paul VI assumed the position of Pope, after the death of Pope John XXIII in June of 1963. In August of 1978, Pope John Paul I was elected Pope following the passing of Pope Paul VI. He died approximately one month later and was succeeded by Pope John Paul II. It is interesting to note that a duality of Popes names (which happen to be my godfather’s and brother’s names) has never occurred prior to 1978. Also, the selection of names of these Popes, John and Paul perhaps reflects New Testament doctrine related to those historical times of the last years of the 1950’s through to 2005. In addition, one’s birth time was documented to be at 11:23 pm on Wednesday, October 29, 1958, which is the same time shown on a pocket watch on the book jacket of “Tragedy and Hope” “A History of the World in Our Time” authored by Carrol Quigley. Added to this, it has been documented that the first internet transmission (ARPANET) occurred on October 29, 1969. The word “login” was apparently the desired first word to be transmitted. However, only part of this word “lo” arrived at its’ destination at 10:30 pm on October 29, 1969. It has been reported that the second part of this word “gin”, “arrived about an hour later”, perhaps at 11:23 pm on October 29, 1969. Another important historical book “Annals of the World” written by Reverend Archbishop James Ussher and first published in the year 1658 states on page 17, that God finished His creation of the world on October 28 and rested from His work on Saturday, October 29. Obviously interpretation is needed here. Perhaps if all calendars and months of the year are analyzed equally (a ten month calendar was the common calendar used at the time of Jesus Christ’s birth) together with documentations of the sightings of the “Star of Bethlehem”, and careful New Testament scrutiny combined with the examination of other historical records, Saturday, October 29 may have indeed been the date the Messiah, Jesus Christ was born. So, I do believe that I was dedicated to God to work on this project prior to my birth (dedicated by whom I do not know) to perhaps to be a messenger. As messenger the requirement was and is to present testimony and documentation regarding aspects of this immoral society to people for their consideration, contemplation, and analysis and also to further inform people of impending disaster if they do not return to adhering to The Ten Commandments and to avoid Capital Sins and Abominations. Realize that serious and earnest prayer to God, repentance, penance, and forgiveness of others are part of this formula. 4 Family Background My paternal great grandparents on my father’s side of the family, includes early 1900’s immigrants from the Southern Province of Calabria in Italy to the United States. Great grandfather born in Italy, established a successful construction company and owned substantial tracts of land in a metropolitan area of New Jersey which he lost to bank foreclosure during the depression of the 1930’s. Italian great grandfather and great grandmother were the parents of nine children, five boys and four girls, who for the most part were religious and followed the doctrine of the Catholic Church. My father’s grandfather on his mother’s side of the family was of a Welsh immigrant father and American Indian Creek Tribe mother descent. My father’s grandfather on my father’s mother’s side of the family owned a technologically innovative for that period of time, refrigeration business. Father’s grandmother on the maternal side was a homemaker of paternal German Jewish and maternal German Lutheran extract who bore five children, two boys and three girls. My father’s mother died a few months after delivering my father due to the additional stress of childbirth which further weakened her heart that was damaged from a childhood illness suffered diagnosed as rheumatic fever. At the time she acquired this disease at twelve years old, antibiotic medicines were still not discovered. Father was born two months premature and weighed 2.2 pounds at his birth in 1931. My great grandmother often commented that father was so small at birth he could have easily “fit into a cigar box”. After five months in a hospital incubator, he was released to be cared for by his maternal grandmother and grandfather, who as far as I can determine were of agnostic faith but Protestant religion. Several years later, my paternal grandfather remarried a woman of Swiss descent and subsequently became the parents of three boys. Paternal grandfather became the mayor of a town in New Jersey, who lived a modest lifestyle with his family. Shortly after my father’s, father’s remarriage, my grandfather invited his older son, my father to join with him and his wife in their home, however my father declined the invitation as he was already very well settled, after living twelve years with his maternal grandparents in their home. My maternal grandparents emigrated from the Southern German state of Baden-Wurttemberg in the 1920’s and considered themselves to be Schwabisch. My maternal grandfather arrived first after being sponsored by an uncle who was a naturalized United States citizen. After my grandfather established himself in secure employ, he arranged for his wife to immigrate. They settled in a metropolitan apartment house in a town in New Jersey. My maternal grandfather worked in a bakery and received a reduced rent for their living arrangements because he accepted a job as the superintendent of the apartment house where they lived. He worked from the early hours of the morning to mid afternoon in the bakery and then worked to satisfy tenants in the apartment house and maintain the premises in the later afternoon to evening hours. When my mother was a toddler, the small family purchased a home. My grandfather left his lower paying job at a bakery to accept a higher paying job at a pig slaughter house. Maternal grandmother procured work in a sweater factory after enlisting the help of a relative who came to live in their house to provide child care for my mother. Maternal grandparents were mostly confined to the area where they lived, as neither of them learned how to drive an automobile. My maternal grandfather attempted to learn to drive however his attempt resulted in an accident where he collided with a service station gasoline pump which forever extinguished his desire to drive an 5 automobile. Maternal grandparents were privately practicing Catholics who I suspect read The Bible somewhat regularly, but did not regularly attend Catholic mass. During their childhoods, both my mother and my father received the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, Communion, and Confirmation at the ages designated by the Catholic Church at that time. My father served in the United States army in the department of signal corps during the early years of the 1950’s. He was not deployed to Korea, but was commissioned to France instead. Both grandparents and paternal parents prayed to God and requested of town officials that my father not be sent to a war zone, due to the fact that he was the sole surviving child of his deceased mother. My mother visited relatives in Germany at age sixteen where she was awakened to the devastation of World War II and the family casualties suffered due to this horrific war. My parents who became acquainted with each other in high school, married in 1954. During their early years of their engagement and marriage my father worked at a strenuous job at a paper mill. My mother was a legal secretary for a Wall Street law firm. Later and after moving away from their family in a metropolitan area of New Jersey to a quiet former farming community of New York State, my father successfully completed a union trade program and began work as an apprentice. The home they purchased in the year 1956 was a Cape Cod style home, located on a quiet neighborhood street. It contained two bedrooms downstairs and a living area, an unfinished attic dormer upstairs, a full unfinished basement, and a carport on one third acre of property. Their home was larger than their parent’s homes, as they followed along with their peers, in pursuit of the “American Dream”. Historical Events 1900-1910: The Boxer Rebellion begins in China.

In the United States people focus on achieving the “American dream” of ever increasing materialism. 1958 After mother suffered through some issues of infertility, I was born on October 29, 1958, at a local hospital in a former farming community of New York State, delivered by a general practice physician. According to family, my birth was a normal delivery however labor was lengthy, lasting more than 24 hours with no drugs administered to my mother. Mother was required to recover, rest, and recuperate in the maternity ward of the hospital for one week prior to discharge. The total costs for physician and hospital were less than five hundred dollars. Upon release from the hospital, grandparents assisted my mother until she was fully recuperated. A first priority for my family was to arrange with the Catholic Church for my Baptismal ceremony at three weeks post birth. It was understood by Catholic parents at that time that the Church expected that parents select a first and middle name for their child based on the names of Catholic Saints. The first name Barbara and middle name Mae were chosen as representative names of Saints and were also the names of family members. The first born half brother of my father and a close friend of my mother were asked by my parents, and accepted the responsibility of godparents. A reception buffet dinner was held for family, friends, and neighbors at my parent’s home, following this sacrament. Retrospective: Provided a pregnancy was routine, a general practice physician was able and capable of delivering an infant. More time was allotted for recuperative care by remedy specialists. Today, one has noticed that many Catholic children do not have the first name of a Catholic Saint. By the year 2000, media publicized and corporations promoted contests that encouraged parents through monetary awards to name their newborn child after a consumer product or service. Perhaps the Catholic Church has tried in the past to protect Catholics from this type of evil influence by requiring that children born into the faith be given the names of Catholic Saints. The costs of medical care were vastly lower in 1958 even in comparison to the lower wages paid at that time. A possible explanation for this is that people were more religious at that time and therefore were satisfied with less materialism. Receptions and parties were usually given at the homes of people rather than at reception halls. Family and friends usually offered assistance in meal preparations, serving, and after the party clean up thus reducing the stress of the host and hostess. Historical Accounts 1958: 7 The first parking meters were installed in Great Britain on June 10. The Iraqi Revolution begins on July 14 resulting in approximately three thousand people killed. NASA is created on July 29. A typhoon kills more than twelve hundred people in Japan in September. 8 Pope Pius XII dies on October 9. Pope John XXIII is elected the Pope on October 28.

Brazil plays against Sweden to win the World Soccer Cup. Remarks: Communism continues to consume countries around the world. Some people revolt, to no avail. Some people attempt to separate themselves from communistic influences through the joining of patriotic groups in the United States that also provided the American people with information regarding communistic and atheistic infiltrations. The United States government provides taxpayer funds for the exploration of space. World governments seek ways to increase revenues. 1959 At three months old in January, I suffered a health crisis due to a cold virus which caused a high fever and loss of appetite. A general practice physician paid a visit to our home to evaluate my health and to provide for remedial advice. No medication was prescribed for this health crisis but a room vaporizer was recommended. During this illness, I returned close to my birth weight of seven pound, four ounces. After recovery, mother was determined to add plenty of extra weight to my small frame. By my first birthday, I weighed thirty-two pounds. My first year diet consisted of whole milk beginning at five months, cereal, pastina, and homemade prepared mashed fruits and vegetables. A “milkman” regularly delivered dairy products to our front door which was convenient and eliminated some of the need for a second automobile. My parents, who were on a strict budget necessitated the fact that mother prepare baby foods and launder diapers. Because there were many children who remained at home during the daytime in the neighborhood, mother and I sometimes spent the afternoons socializing with other mothers and their children. No vaccines were administered to me or other young infants for that matter during their first year and so mother and father were cautious about over exposing me to germs. There were two parties given at home for my first birthday, one with neighborhood children and one with family relatives. As a matter of fact, several of my childhood birthdays consisted of two parties, a children’s party and a family relative’s party. Throughout young childhood, I remember feeling annoyed and disappointed during the years when I was told that there would be only one birthday party, exclusive of neighborhood friends. My parents pledged money to help build a Catholic elementary school in our small but growing town. This growth was largely due to the recent completion of a bridge that allowed people easier access to 9 the bustling areas of commerce and industry. Although my parents suffered through economic hardship, as my father became unemployed due to a recession in 1960, they fulfilled their obligation and paid the money pledged for the building of the school. The construction of the school was completed in 1961. Retrospective: Physicians routinely advised parents in the 1950’s and 1960’s to remove infants from formula at five months old. Today babies require expensive formula in their diet for one year or longer leading one to believe that perhaps infants’ metabolic processes have changed during the past fifty five years or so. Ill children were not brought to a physician’s office for care, due to the societal idea that the illness could become worse by removing the child from necessary recuperative rest. Also, people believed that a seriously sick person would be exposed to other germs by visiting a physician’s office while in a weakened condition in seeking help for their illness and conversely germs would be spread from the seriously ill person to others in the physician’s office. So, physicians in the 1950’s routinely made house calls to attend to the more gravely ill. Most parents prepared their own baby food for their infant to provide for nutrition and extra flavor through the addition of butter and other added ingredients. Nutritious and appetizing baby food can be easily prepared today through the use of a blender or food processor. Store bought baby food, during this era, was also considered by many to be expensive. Disposable diapers were of poor quality and costly so most women laundered their own child’s diapers or some, who were more affluent subscribed to a diaper service. Diaper service at that time, required the parental removal of feces from the diaper prior to the service laundering the diaper. The use of cotton cloth diapers reduced waste in landfills. In addition, cotton cloth diapers eliminated some allergies in infants who had especially sensitive skin. During this era, most women with young children were homemakers and thus there was some extra time for socialization between mothers which included various exchanges of information regarding many topics and issues. Two birthday parties for a child, one with family and one with neighborhood children were common place. This concept perhaps leads to a degree of self centeredness. It would be beneficial to patients if house calls could be made for a reasonable cost, by a physician or other qualified medical staff, to attend to the more gravely ill. Also perhaps telemedicine could be used for some situations of medical care through a computerized SKYPE arrangement. Most people during this era could be relied on to fulfill promises and obligations even under difficult circumstances. As a matter of fact, at that time a handshake was considered by many to be more reliable than a written legally binding contract. Historical Accounts 1959: 8 Alaska is admitted to the United States as the 49th State in the Union on January 3. Fidel Castro establishes Communism in Cuba on January 7. The Barbie Doll is promoted for sale at a New York toy fair on March 9. Busch Gardens opens in Tampa, Florida on March 31. 10 The United States military in conjunction with the United States Postal Service experiments with delivering mail by missile on June 8. The first skull of Australopithecus is discovered by Louis and Mary Leakey in Tanzania on June 17. The Kitchen debate between Vice-President Richard M. Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev is televised in the United States and the Soviet Union on July 24. A flood in Taiwan kills about two thousand people on August 8. Hawaii is admitted as the 50th state in the United States on August 21. The first paper copy machine is introduced by Xerox Corporation on September 16. More than five thousand people are killed in Japan in a typhoon on September 26. The Declaration of the Rights of the Child is adopted by the United Nations on November 20. Remarks: The United States continues to expand dominion. Parents begin to lose authority over their children. Entertainment for children and adults alike becomes a priority. Well published anthropological finds influences the beginnings of a disbelief in God or an agnostic view of God and in the perception of erroneous Biblical doctrine. Communism continues to expand its’ influence reaching the North American Hemisphere. Two world leaders debate in a typical suburban kitchen about the issues of the day. 1960 During the course of this year, my father became temporarily unemployed from his union job due to a significant recession occurring at that time which resulted in a downturn in the construction industry. My parents became increasingly concerned with their financial situation as they were quickly depleting their savings and they did not have a credit card, as credit cards were virtually non-existent during that era. The building contractor with whom my father was previously employed telephoned our home to speak with my father. I answered the telephone and asked him why he had removed my father from his job. My parents were aghast that I would say such a thing at the young age of two years old and quickly removed the telephone receiver from my hand. The building contractor stated to my father that he was disturbed by my comment. My father apologized and stated that his daughter was merely repeating and synthesizing conversation heard between him and his wife, in their home. Later that day, a scolding ensued where answering the telephone was for me forbidden, for some years. In the course of that year, mother obtained evening employment bridging the shortfall of funds for household expenses. A family pet was a Beagle hound that I enjoyed playing with during my second year. Another enjoyed pet was a parakeet that was occasionally let out of his cage for a flight around the house. Favorite toys and activities were baby dolls and puzzles. Bedtime was promptly at 7:00 pm and afternoon naps were at a designated hour of each day. Sometimes there was rebellion at bedtime where I was able to move the crib from one area of the room to the door. At times, I would pound on the closed door for quite 11 awhile before finally drifting off to sleep. Father, who was annoyed at this behavior, resolved this problem by drilling holes from the basement, to the floor of my bedroom and then bolting the crib legs to the floor at the designated area of the room for the crib. Retrospective: Some people in 1960 may have been objecting to and protesting the introduction of the birth control pill on religious grounds and for other reasons of ethics, including regard and concern for the health of women. These protests may have resulted in a punishment by evil doers in authority positions that attacked the livelihoods of people through the initiation of a significant recession that occurred in the early part of 1960, where many people lost their jobs. A tight money policy initiated by the private banking system initially affects the construction industry in economic downturns, as bank borrowing is usually a component of this industry. This recessionary period where many lost their jobs, also may have served as a deterrent to other people, from becoming involved in the protesting of this immoral introduction of an abortifacient and dangerous contraceptive hormonal drug supplied to the general population of women. Young children are inclined to be truthful in their communication. They later learn tact, deception, and manipulation of language, to varying degrees based on the morality of society. In an immoral society, children learn to lie. Many times, mothers who were homemakers in the 1950’s, 1960’s, and 1970’s, would temporarily find employment during times of a family financial crisis to provide for the monetary needs of the family until the father and husband, secured permanent employment. Family pets provide children with a sense of compassion, responsibility, and love for warm blooded living creatures. They also provide for the needs of companionship and friendship during those times when other children are not available for play. The selection of favorite toys by children is somewhat determined and based on societal norms and morals. For example, in a society that values family, baby dolls may be a favorite play choice for many little girls. Young children require a basically determined and adhered to schedule to provide for good habits, preparation, anticipation, confidence, security, comfort, and knowledge. Historical Accounts 1960: 9 A particle accelerator begins its first operation in Switzerland on February 5. An earthquake in Morocco kills approximately fifteen thousand people on February 29. Two scientists descend into the ocean in the bathyscaphe to be the first people to reach the lowest area on earth on January 22. The United States launches the first functioning weather satellite on April 1. The birth control pill is approved as an oral contraceptive for the first time worldwide by the United States Food and Drug Administration on May 9. The largest earthquake ever recorded occurs in Chile at a 9.5 rating on the moment magnitude scale killing approximately six thousand people on May 22. 12 A revolutionary music group called the Beatles, makes their debut on August 17. A book publisher of a novel titled “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” is found not guilty of distributing obscene literature on November 2. Remark: The beginning year of this decade represents a year of dismantlement, upheaval, and change. The birth control pill begins to be distributed to women in the United States causing early abortions. Also women taking this pill become subjects of an experiment as the long term side effects of this drug are unknown. The earthquake in Chile was the most powerful ever recorded at 9.5 on the moment magnitude scale. During this era mild forms of pornography were not tolerated by many people resulting in litigation. 1961 By the time I was three years old, permission was granted to leave our property to engage in play with other children within the immediate vicinity of our home. Some games of play determined by a group of young children during this era was a popular game called “Cowboys and Indians”, other games included Hide and Seek, and a game called “House” where children would designate themselves as father, mother, and children. Parades viewed in town were influential and organized as play by this childhood group, using various toy musical instruments. Television also had an influence on children’s play, as it is recalled that most of us sported a “Beenie and Cecil” cap. At this age, my hair was long, thick, and very curly creating agony during hair brushing and combing. Mother became tired of the screams and tears and so brought me to a local barber shop for a short haircut. Playmates would mildly tease that I looked like a “Tomboy”. A few years later, a famous model made my childhood hairstyle vogue and popular with the “pixie” haircut. During the next thirty five years or so, it was important when styling one’s hair that a desired part be precisely drawn straight. By the late 1990’s and the early years of the turn of the century, many people were sporting crooked, sloppy parts incorporated into their hairstyle. It was at this time that I decided to forego a middle part in my hair, and brushed my hair completely back with no part. Once a month, mother and I would shop at an all inclusive department store for household items and clothing. These excursions I greatly looked forward to as the store contained an interesting pet department, wonderful toy department, and a tantalizing candy section. Any desired toy seen in the store was relegated to a birthday or Christmas list. The store also contained a diner like restaurant where we would have a meal prior to beginning our shopping expedition. On a weekly basis, I accompanied mother to the supermarket, which was a less interesting shopping experience for me. The candy displayed at the checkout area however gained my attention and on one occasion several packages of candies were dropped into a shopping bag by me as mother was busy with the cashier at the register. Upon arriving home, mother discovered the candy in the shopping bag, promptly scolded me, and explained that what I did was stealing and that groceries are paid for with 13 money. Later, I removed the candy from where mother had stored it and shared the contraband with neighborhood friends and a guilty conscience. I had a sense of only partial punishment for that incident. Frequently, family members would visit with us or vice versa on a weekend day to join together for dinner and conversation. During these visits, a beverage was offered prior to the dinner with no snacks or hors d’oeuvres served because it was believed at that time, by most people, that snacking prior to a meal would “spoil ones appetite”. By the middle of the 1960’s, celery, carrot sticks, and olives were offered by most, in addition to a beverage that was served prior to a meal. At the end of this decade, cheese and crackers were offered in addition to the above. This concept has progressed throughout the decades to include a “smorgasbord” of hors d’oeuvres served prior to a meal by 2013. In the summer of the year, early one weekend morning, I awoke mother and father asking for breakfast. They told me it was too early and that I should return to bed. I countered with a threat to drive to the favorite department store for breakfast. Mother remarked that I should “go ahead” as father and she were not arising from bed. Believing this to be real permission granted, I left the house and entered the car parked on the top of our hilly driveway. I put the clutch in neutral and released the emergency brake as I had seen my parent’s do many times. The car began to slowly move down the driveway. Panicking, I jumped out of the moving car to an area on the side of our driveway. From there I watched the car cross the street between fences on either side of the driveway and come to a stop on the neighbor’s lawn, just several feet from their house. A short time later, I heard father’s anxious call. After a few moments of hesitation and thinking perhaps of indefinitely hiding, I answered his call. A considerable spanking ensued with a punishment of confinement to the property for a lengthy time. Retrospective: Based on a particular area of residence, many children were free to navigate their neighborhood and engage in play with other children. Speeding cars and pedophiles were not a thought or consideration to most people. All people drove slowly through neighborhoods, were better educated in morality, and at minimum, publicity was not given to immoral deviates, if they did exist. Youngsters planned most all their own activities and games. Television, somewhat influenced these choices of games played. The physical appearance of girls began to change as many girls wore pants for play and kept their hair cut short. Shopping trips to purchase household items and clothing were much less frequent than today. Many people listed items needed and saved that list for the designated “shopping day”. Credit cards were not available which eliminated much impulse shopping with sometimes the accompanying debt. It appears as though people have become more gluttonous throughout the past fifty years as exemplified by the incremental additions and then the over abundance of foods served prior to a meal. Most young children do not understand sarcasm and believe what is told to them in a literal way. Historical Accounts 1961: 10 The United States invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs begins and ends in defeat two days later on April 19. 14 Yuri Gagarin of the Soviet Union becomes the first human being to navigate space on April 12. Genetic engineering begins with Heinrich Mattaei’s discovery on the genetic code on May 15. The construction of the Berlin Wall begins on August 13. The Vietnam War officially begins on December 11. An Israeli war crimes tribunal sentences Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichman to death on December 15. An early NASA program launches Ham the chimpanzee into space aboard the Mercury rocket ship. Alan Shepard Jr. becomes the first American and second person to explore space aboard the MercuryRedstone 3. Remarks: A physical barrier, to separate Communist Europe from other nations is erected, but this symbolic wall is ineffective as Communist philosophy continues to expand throughout the world. Within forty years of this date every person’s heredity can be determined by a select few people in positions of authority. Read the Commentaries on Genetic Identification and Science and Technology for further information regarding the dangers of the above science. A war officially fought for twelve years begins. The Nazi’s of World War II continue to be brought to justice. Communists assume control of countries throughout the world extending their influence into the North American hemisphere. Space exploration becomes a United States priority. 1962 Most of our family vacations in the early to middle 1960’s were spent on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Usually a small beach cottage was rented for the week, where we spent our once a year vacation on the beach swimming, sunning, beachcombing, and exploring areas that became familiar and new. In the early years of the 1990’s, I returned to this area with my spouse and two children and noticed how greatly the land area had changed. Erosion over the years, made this once familiar place unrecognizable. On frequent occasions father would announce a slide show presentation. A tripod screen was erected in the living room, with the projector placed several feet from the screen. After mother and I were seated, the lights were turned off and father would place one slide at a time into the projector, carefully explaining each slide. I immensely enjoyed viewing these pictorials. Then one afternoon during required nap time, I decided to view these slides on my own. The projector, screen, and slides were stored inside of my bedroom closet. While removing the projector from the floor of the closet, the case opened and the projector fell to the floor, breaking the lens. Mother sternly entered the room and punished me for this mischief. Eventually, father had the projector repaired but we seldom used it after this incident as photographs became less expensive to develop and were easier to view. Italian grandfather, grandmother, and young uncles frequently visited our home which was always a pleasant and fun experience. I enjoyed listening to grandfather’s stories and felt safe with his 15 authoritative advice. These grandparents always seemed to select the most interesting and liked toy given to me as a gift, sometimes for no specific occasion. For Easter however, instead of a toy, grandfather provided me with a live duckling that created much pleasure and excitement. The duckling followed me constantly for weeks until released by mother into a nearby pond. Mother decided to accept a part time position of employment, working two days a week. Mother explained that I would be staying with a babysitter whom she wanted me to meet. I voiced my chagrin with her decision to return to work, but to no avail. Prior to her beginning her job, we visited with the babysitter at her home. There were many beautiful dolls and interesting toys displayed in a room of her home, which I was looking forward to playing with and so decided that perhaps I may like this arrangement after all. Gradually, however, I realized that the lovely toys in one room of the babysitter’s house were for display purposes only and not to be touched by children. Other toys that were available for play were broken, missing parts, or damaged in other ways. Coloring books offered, contained pages that were already filled so one spent most of the day at the sitter’s house watching television. As I was the only child cared for by her and with no other playmates, I despised the days that mother worked. This situation, fortunately did not last long as mother was asked to resign her position due to a clear showing of pregnancy. Retrospective: Due to increases in pollution caused largely by increases in the burning of fossil fuels and uses of other toxic chemicals, polar ice has melted which has caused the erosion of many beach areas around the world. Solar power and/or other clean energy sources will hopefully solve this problem. Viewing and reviewing slides together as a family can create a sense of family cohesiveness and opportunities for discussion. The individual viewing of photographs, removed this positive family activity. Children who sometimes are involved in mischief are actually calling for attention, whether negative or positive. Older family members in the recent past were usually revered for their life experiences and wisdom. Historical Accounts 1962: 11 An avalanche in Peru kills approximately four thousand people on January 10. The United States Supreme Court on June 25, rules that mandatory prayers in the public schools are unconstitutional. The world is threatened with nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the United States due to the installation of Soviet missiles in Cuba. The missiles are removed by the Soviet Union, averting this potential disaster on October 14. The Beatles rock and roll group releases their first single “Love Me Do” in early October. NASA: John Glenn becomes the first person to orbit the Earth aboard the spacecraft Friendship 7 Brazil defeats Czechoslovakia to win the world soccer cup. 16 Remarks: Telling children to pray to God in the public schools becomes unlawful thus handicapping vast populations of children. Evil and immoral forces in positions of authority, threaten the people of the world with a nuclear war (refer to the Electoral System Commentary for a possible solution to this problem). The space program expands with additional goals and achievements. A unique, “long haired” rock and roll musical group named “The Beatles” releases their first single on a 45 rpm (rotations per minute) record. 1963 In the spring of this year, mother and father prepared for the birth of their second child and my sibling. The crib that was in storage was cleaned and assembled and placed in their bedroom. Yellow, green, and white infant layette clothing that I wore as an infant was laundered and placed in drawers. Other infant items were cleaned as well, in preparation for this greatly anticipated baby. It was arranged that paternal grandmother (my great grandmother), would stay at our home just prior to the expected birth and immediately following the birth and home coming of the baby. After mother and baby arrived home, the plan was that German grandmother would stay for as long as needed while great grandmother, returned to her home. Brother arrived at a local hospital on a sunny day in April. I begged father to take me to visit mother and new brother but it was explained to me that young children were not permitted to visit inside of the hospital. After a one week hospital stay, mother arrived home with our new baby. The total cost for the hospital was less than $800. The fee for the specialist obstetrician was extra. I was very excited to see, and looked forward to holding the new baby. German grandmother scolded that I was overly anxious and that mother and baby needed rest. Finally, I was able to see my new brother closely after washing my hands and face and donning a face mask that covered my mouth and nose. It was recommended at that time that all others, except for the parents, wear a mask when in close proximity to a newborn to prevent the spread of germs. We often visited German grandmother and grandfather’s home in New Jersey, for the holidays. Two courses of the three course meal were always predictable. The meal always began with a beef broth vegetable soup with matzo dumplings and ended with a dessert of a hazelnut mocha raspberry torte offered from a special bakery in a nearby town. After many years of eating the same dessert at grandparents home, I began to despise this torte. However, several years after my grandparents died I craved this cake and sought it out at many bakeries (as the one grandmother attended had closed) to no avail. I have yet to be able to find the same mocha raspberry hazelnut torte of this childhood experience. The dinner table conversation at grandparents home at times centered on the past and included discussions about World War II and some of the events leading to this catastrophic war. Grandmother would relay stories about family members in Germany who were subjected to Nazi genealogical investigations in the regimes quest to identify and perhaps murder those people of the Jewish faith or Jewish ancestry. Although both grandmother and grandfather’s family were of the Catholic faith, they were unsure if Jewish ancestors were in their background. This situation as we were told created much anxiety for my grandparents and the extended family residing in Germany. In addition to conversation centering on World War II, grandmother usually spoke about her various 17 physical ailments and frequent visits to a physician whom she held in high esteem. Mother was annoyed that grandmother relied to an extreme on this physician to solve her minor physical problems. Another impressionable story relayed to us by grandmother was about a dear friend who had visited Bethlehem with her husband. I recall grandmother showing me a Holy Land postcard sent by this couple to grandparent’s home and thinking that someday I would like to visit this area. However, after hearing further concerning this visit, grandmother relayed information regarding how disappointed her friends were, with the various exploitations of the Holy Family that were seen in restaurants and shops in and around the town of Bethlehem. As the story progressed to include the above information, my desire to visit this city waned. Prior to beginning Kindergarten in the autumn, mother was made aware of the dress expectations of the school district. As part of the dress code, boys and girls were required to wear a clean cloth handkerchief pinned onto their garment at shoulder level. The reason for the close in proximity handkerchief was to provide for the cleaning of the nose or to cover ones mouth when coughing or sneezing to prevent the spread of germs. There were two Kindergarten classrooms and two sessions, morning and afternoon that were alternated in the middle of the school year. I enjoyed school, but found writing difficult as it created pain in my hand. School was my first introduction to many rules and regulations which sometimes resulted in me forgetting some of them. My teacher was firm and from my recollection had many discussions regarding “tattle tailing”. She taught the class to discern between minor and major tattling for infractions of school rules and behavioral problems. Any dangerous behavior observed concerning personal and group safety were always reasons to inform the teacher. In Kindergarten, I weighed eighty five pounds and was probably the tallest in my class. At five years old, many people thought me to be nine or ten years old. This also created greater expectations of me by some adults, who thought that I should be accomplishing more. However, mother always reminded them of my young age. I recall an overwhelming sense of excitement, joy, and terror during the Christmas of 1963. Every year, an adult family member would dress up as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, to deliver gifts to brother and I. Probably due to the birth of my brother earlier in this year, my parents, for a variety of unknown reasons decided to provide me with many gifts. To distract me from the “Santa” preparations, a family member lured me to the basement and then locked the door. The light was off and I was petrified. I screamed, kicked, and pounded on the basement door crying for someone to open the door. A few minutes seemed like an interminable amount of time. Finally, the door was opened and there before my eyes, was Santa Claus with more toys than I could possibly imagine creating an incredible ecstatic, joyful excitement in me. This over abundance of toys included a toy dog that walked, and dolls that talked, a kitchen set and a doll bassinet and so much more. Retrospect: Newborn infants were treated with extreme care during this time period. Parents were cautious regarding the spreading of germs through dirt and air. Infant’s heads were always carefully supported and the soft spot was guarded. Their delicate skin was protected with appropriate clothing. Newborns were sponged bathed daily. The temperature of formula was precisely measured to body 18 temperature. Baby bottles were sterilized through a special bottle sterilization kit. Newborns were not permitted to cry for long and were tended to promptly. It appears as though a genetic identification project was well underway beginning in the 1930’s. The research into the general population’s genealogy by the Nazi’s likely caused much anxiety for many people. It is also likely that this type of background investigation silenced many would be dissenters and protesters of Nazism. In the 1980’s, parents were asked to regularly send into school with their young child tissues, for the children’s use should a child have a minor cold. It is ones belief that a handkerchief pinned to the young child’s garment is a more sensible way to prevent a contagion in the classroom due to the closer proximity of the handkerchief versus a box of tissues. During this era the Kindergarten classes contained at least double the amount of students with classes of two sessions, as compared to twenty five years later. When daughter and son attended Kindergarten years later in the same school district there were two all day Kindergarten classes. This “Santa Claus event” was insane. Parents sometimes try to compensate for some personal or family perceived inadequacy through the presentation of gifts that can lead to the spoiling of a child. Extra time spent with a child is many times all that is necessary to alleviate personal guilt. Historical Accounts 1963: 12 An erupting volcano kills about fifteen hundred people in Bali in January. Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova becomes the first woman in space on June 16. Pope John XXIII dies on June 3 and is succeeded by Pope Paul VI on June 21. Martin Luther King Jr. delivers his famous “I Have a Dream” speech at a rally in Washington D.C. on August 28. A hurricane kills more than seven thousand people in Cuba and Hispaniola in early October. On November 18, Bell Telephone introduces the first push button telephone to the public. United States President John F. Kennedy is assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald on November 22. NASA launches their first orbiting satellite Syncom. Remarks: Martin Luther King Jr. leads a peaceful ethnic movement to establish equal rights for African Americans. The presidential assassination of 1963 is still being investigated as of 2013 in a quest to solve a continued much publicized conspiracy theory. As feminists begin their causes demanding equal opportunities in the work force, a woman is selected for a mission in space. The first United States communication satellite that orbits around the earth is launched. People begin to push buttons on telephones, but still say (even to this day) that they are dialing a number. 19 1964 In January, we received tragic news that our beloved father and grandfather had died. Italian grandfather passed away prematurely in late middle age, leaving behind my step grandmother and three teenage boys. The funeral was large as grandfather passed away while holding office as mayor of a town in New Jersey. I did not attend the funeral as mother and father believed me too young to experience this event of sadness. It was time for brother to move into his own bedroom thereby assuming my bedroom. The plan was for me to move upstairs to a section of the Cape Cod attic dormer that was completed with sheetrock, paint, and moldings. I objected, refused, and cried when informed that I would sleep upstairs by myself. I feared the dark and additionally feared sleeping on a level of the house alone. My parents decided at this time to purchase a different style of home in a new housing development that was being erected not too far from our current residence. The above controversy was one of several reasons for the decision of my family to move. The home my parents purchased was a four bedroom colonial with a living area downstairs and all bedrooms upstairs. My father did considerable construction work on the house to save money off of the purchase price. I would accompany father on these excursions to work on our new home that was under construction. One time I played with and rubbed the soft and fuzzy wall insulation on my face and arms only to be in agony sometime later. After the fact, father reprimanded me and said that this soft and fuzzy substance contained shredded pieces of glass. We moved into the home during the summer. It was planned that during the move that I would visit with the widow of Italian grandfather to allow mother and father to better concentrate on moving and organizing furnishings and other household items. Shortly before moving and in the springtime, our family acquired another pet, a sweet tempered, black and white tiger stripped kitten. After arriving home from grandmother’s house and during the first day in our new home, I sought out the kitten. Mother informed me where the cat was located and when the kitten was found, I quickly discovered that the personality of the cat had changed from gentle to vicious, biting and scratching me as I held her. I stated to mother that this cat had changed after the move to becoming mean and nasty and that I no longer liked this animal. Mother then admitted that during the move, the kind kitten was found dead on the side of the road. Knowing how much the animal was loved by me, she promptly replaced the kitten with an identical one given to her by an Italian woman she knew whose cat had kittens. Over time, this kitten became tame when we subsequently discovered that the cat had a strong penchant for spaghetti with tomato sauce that was demonstrated by begging, purring, and crying when we ate this food for dinner. Finding this behavior to be amusing and comical, we always rewarded her with a bowl of spaghetti. Later, mother discovered that the Italian woman who had given the kitten to mother, regularly fed her cats spaghetti with tomato sauce instead of cat food. This summer of the move, I enjoyed climbing on the mountains of dirt resulting from the construction. A cornfield, apple orchard, lake, and woods were nearby that I explored with newly found playmates who were also residing in the neighborhood. One day while exploring the wooded area behind the cornfield alone, I happened upon an animal trap that was opened with metal razor sharp jaw like teeth waiting to 20 ensnare a small animal of the forest. I picked up a stick and snapped this trap shut and simultaneously watched this stick snap into two pieces. I thought this method of hunting to be cruel and inhumane. After snapping the trap, I noticed a small black leather change purse lying on the ground near the trap. I picked up the purse that was devoid of an identity card and found three bills inside of the purse. I sensed an unnatural reward for perhaps saving the existence or limb of a living creature. Mother enrolled me for first grade at the local school which years ago was converted from a high school to an elementary school. I was also enrolled for religious instruction at the local Catholic parish. Early dismissal from public school every Tuesday afternoon with town provided transportation, dropped children off at the parish school for one hour and later returned to provide transportation to the children’s homes. Town transportation services had ended for religious instruction by the time my children were to attend Catechism. The religious education teacher was a full time teacher in the Catholic grammar school who taught religious instruction to public school Catholic children for one hour a week. One recalls her reading to the class stories from The Bible. A story read was the story about Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son, Isaac at God’s command. The story can be found in Genesis 22. One thought that God was being cruel and unfair to Abraham and Isaac because of this mentally tormenting request that was for no apparent reason. At that point, I was thinking that I did not want to attend religious instruction any longer. Years later in 1999, after reading The Bible, I realized that God was punishing Abraham and Sarah for an arranged adulterous relationship with a servant that resulted in the wanted earlier birth of Ishmael, after God stated to Abraham that his wife Sarah would give birth to their child which they did not believe, due to Sarah’s advanced age. This story can be found in Genesis 15-16. In addition, the relationships between Abraham, Sarah, the servant Hagar, and Ishmael were strained and argumentative causing Abraham to send Hagar and Ishmael away after Isaac was born. This story can be found in Genesis 21. So much later in life, I finally understood the reasons why God subjected Abraham and possibly Isaac to the mental torment of the possible murder of Isaac, at the hands of his father, Abraham. One requirement of the public schools was a strict dress code. Girls were expected to wear dresses or skirts and blouses with appropriate undergarments such as slips, stockings, knee socks, or ankle socks, and shoes. On the day designated for physical education girls were permitted to wear slacks if desired with rubber soled shoes or sneakers. The requirements for boys were to wear belted dress slacks and a woven button down shirt, long or short sleeve, with socks and shoes. Sneakers were only permitted to be worn on physical education day. Blue jeans, or other colored denim were never acceptable to be worn for school, as clothes made from this fabric were considered to be clothes worn for playtime. One morning, confused with which day of the week it was, I dressed for physical education day wearing slacks and rubber soled shoes to school. Immediately upon entering the classroom that morning, the teacher sent me to the school office where mother was telephoned to retrieve me from school for a clothing change. The desks in the classroom were organized in rows with an individual seating arrangement. The instruction was rote, methodical, and specifically followed the textbooks. Accompanying workbooks provided for additional practice. All school work was thoroughly corrected by the teacher and the concept and acceptance of, for example, “inventive spelling” did not exist. The 21 classroom for religious instruction was designed in a similar way. Next to my desk, posted on the wall were The Ten Commandments. The teacher reviewed these with the class and instruction centered upon the learning of prayers in preparation for the Sacrament of Communion scheduled for the following year. I recall questioning what the word “fruit” meant in the context of “The Hail Mary”. The teacher explained that this word was an analogy to explain Jesus Christ in the womb. Many years later, when I taught religious instruction, a child asked me the same question, and I uncomfortably gave her the same answer because a fruit is most insignificant when compared with a child. Beginning in first grade through third grade, a series of phonics reading books titled “Alice and Jerry” were used to instruct students. I enjoyed reading these stories that were moral, adventuresome, and sane tales about the lives of ordinary children. Asking mother if she could perhaps purchase these books for me to read at home, she replied that these series of books were only made available to schools and not to the public. Retrospective: Many parents accommodated children to alleviate fears. Sometimes a death in the family, prompts people to change their environment, perhaps in an effort to somewhat forget an upsetting occurrence. In the 1960’s most families were larger than they are today. Most mothers were homemakers who had the time to care for the family. Women were also more involved in the community and with school curriculum. Abortion was considered to be immoral.There were clear expectations and enforcements regarding public school requirements to include dress codes. Today the wearing of clothes for play to secular public school is the expected dress of attire that could result for some students in a casual attitude towards learning. The ability for children to focus was greater with an individual seating arrangement. “Creative” lessons and other fanfare were not part of the curriculum. Textbooks were closely followed and were read together in class. Workbook activity required quiet individual study and practice. Homework was distributed daily with a possible reprieve on weekends. In 2009 and with internet service, one discovered that used “Alice and Jerry” books could be purchased online through book outlets. Other sane early reading books for children are also currently available online by searching “basic reading books for children” followed by the individual years of the 1950’s and/or the 1960’s. Historical Accounts 1964: 13 A woman is stabbed to death on March 13, while many of her neighbors hear her screams and do nothing. Psychologists labeled this human behavior as the “bystander effect”. Aspects of this effect include the lack of willingness of some people, to accept any responsibility. The most powerful United States earthquake occurs in Alaska on March 27 at a magnitude of 9.2 on the moment magnitude scale. At least forty hidden microphones are found inside of the walls in the United States Embassy in Moscow on May 19. 22 On June 25, the Catholic Church expresses their condemnation of the birth control pill. NASA launches Ranger 7 containing television cameras to photograph the moon and launches Mariner 4, also containing television cameras, to photograph Mars. Remarks: Many people prefer not to “get involved”, even when other’s lives, their own lives and the safety of many, may be threatened. People are stunned to see the after effects of a tremendously powerful earthquake. It becomes more widely known that the personal privacies of all people are put at risk. The Catholic Church advises against the use of the birth control pill. NASA obtains clearer images and photographs of the Moon and Mars through the use of television cameras. 1965 Father had assumed the responsibility of bringing me to church with him for Sunday mass. A requirement of girls and women at that time was to cover ones head with a hat or a veil. I despised the hat designated for me to wear for Sunday’s mass. It was a large brimmed straw hat with a banded fake flower trim at the base of the hat. After viewing adult women in church wearing veils, I asked mother for this kind of head covering. She exclaimed to me that children do not wear veils, they wear hats. Continuing to resent having to wear this hat for mass on Sundays, one wished that this was not a requirement of the Church. Eventually, my wish was granted. The summer of 1964 seemed to be extraordinarily hot and sticky one without the availability of a swimming pool. The sprinkler mother supplied did not provide for a lasting cooling of the body. As the summer of 1965 approached, I suggested to my parents that we purchase a pool similar to the small three foot pool we had while living at our previous address. Mother stated that the time spent needed to level an area for the pool and the pool assembly combined with pool maintenance would hinder the completion of other projects planned, that were deemed of a higher priority. Mother informed me that a new State park pool would be opening in the area at the beginning of this summer that we would regularly frequent. Our first visit to the pool was pleasant. There was room to swim and the area surrounding the pool was clean and had a fresh scent. The staff was accommodating and the people attending the pool were polite and civilized. Mother, brother, and I were pleased and looked forward to our next visit. We were surprised however that by our next visit, the number of people attending the pool had substantially increased. Several busses of children of various ages were in attendance. There was some rude and uncivilized behavior, but this was kept under control by a diligent staff who could manage this increased and somewhat unruly crowd. Our third visit to this pool was horrendous. Many bus loads of youngsters were in attendance, the bath houses contained an unpleasant order and the pool was extremely crowded. Pushing and vulgar language abounded and the staff seemed to have visibly lost control of the bathers and those sunbathing and playing in the surrounding areas of the pool. A final straw of feces floating in the toddler pool prompted mother to quickly summon brother and I to leave this swim park, never to return. We suffered through the large remainder of that summer with a sprinkler used for cooling. By the summer of 1966, father erected a four foot high swimming pool in our backyard. 23 Beginning in the early 1960’s great grandmother and great aunt would send me birthday and special occasion cards that contained pockets inserted with coins. The denominations of coins added to the card, likely to compensate for inflation, were first nickels and then dimes and finally quarters. I was happy to receive these coins and would count and add the total amount to a ceramic bank where my money was saved usually to purchase a wanted toy. As an aside, it is interesting to note the changes in the value of consumer goods throughout a forty five year time period. For example, an average doll to include a “fashion” doll cost about seven dollars in the middle 1960’s. A typical single serving candy bar cost between five and ten cents at that time. By 2013, the same or similar doll can be purchased for five dollars while the similar candy bar costs one dollar. Perhaps toys are less interesting to children today and candy bars are more desirable thus the consumer demand of these products is reflected in the price (supply vs demand?) or maybe toys are purposely priced low to inspire a materialistic and selfish attitude in children or to confuse children through an over abundance of toys purchased due to their low cost. The last coin filled card received was from great grandmother that contained pockets filled with quarters where I was overjoyed with the total sum of this gift. I participated as a group member in the Girl Scouts throughout grades one through six. Our troop was large, containing about thirty five girls. The leaders were active planning outdoor activities including woodland hikes and craft projects where I learned the skill of knitting. Projects of community service were also part of this program. For one community service project, we discussed how we could help or bring cheer to the elderly in our town. The idea decided on was to present an impromptu bouquet of flowers to an elderly person in one’s own neighborhood. In my neighborhood, one elderly woman was friendly and very well known and I expected and knew that she would receive many bouquets of flowers from other Girl Scouts living in the neighborhood. I knew of another elderly woman living not too far from my neighborhood who was less well known and so I decided to provide her with a flower bouquet. The bell was rung on the door of her home as I patiently waited for her to answer holding this pretty bouquet of flowers. She answered the door and I announced that these flowers were a gift to her from the Girl Scouts. She scowled and said she was not interested in flowers and slammed the door. With a lump in my throat, I delivered the flowers to the husband of the popular, friendly elderly woman in the neighborhood. In second grade, I had a teacher who was not only strict, but kept the class on constant high alert. She carried a yardstick that she would pound on student’s desks to inspire academic achievement. I suspect however, that some students were petrified and this tactic for them may have had an opposite effect on learning. Throughout elementary school, there were repeated fire drills that required leaving the building, and nuclear war drills where we filed down to the school basement and put our heads against a cinder block wall. After asking about the effects of a nuclear war and receiving the answer, I wondered how putting our heads against a cinder block wall in the school basement would save us. Retrospective: It appears that some people take advantage of a crowded situation to create trouble and cause mayhem. A few immoral troublemakers can influence many others to partake in like immoral 24 behavior. In an immoral society, where many have been deprived of a Biblically based moral education, limits should be placed on the number of people permitted to attend an event or facility. In a good, moral society, people police themselves and take the initiative to chastise others who are causing trouble. One has noted throughout the past forty five years to 2013, that some specific non edible consumer goods have remained constant in price (even with a considerable inflation rate over the years), while the cost of other goods and services to include energy products, have skyrocketed. Some people take their frustrations, anxieties, and aggravation out on others. Children may be especially vulnerable to these attacks. Avoiding people of this nature is recommended. Historical Accounts 1965: 14 The Vietnam War escalates and the first major protest of many begins on April 17 and is organized by the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) in Washington, D.C.. The Voting Rights Act to end voting discriminatory practices against African Americans is signed on August 6, by President Lyndon B. Johnson. The United Kingdom abolishes the death penalty on November 8. A power outage lasting more than thirteen hours affects the Northeastern United States on November 9, which resulted in looting and property damages caused by wayward people. NASA launches the first two person crew into orbit aboard the Gemini 3. Gemini 4 astronaut Edward Higgins White accomplishes the first space walk. Gemini 5 astronauts spend eight days in space, the longest length of time to date. Gemini 6 and Gemini 7 are launched and establish contact with each other in space. Remarks: Disenchantment and outrage with government policies regarding the Vietnam War spurns many protests, mostly by young adults. Immoral people use the compromising situations of others to inflict harm and damages on people. There are many launches by NASA this year including five launchings of the Gemini program. 1966 The spring of 1966 centered on Communion and a party planned afterwards to celebrate this Sacrament. German grandmother took my measurements to sew a dress for this occasion. After completing the sewing of this white eyelet dress, I tried it on to examine the fit shortly before the Communion date only to find out that the measurements taken months earlier had changed as I had put on a few extra pounds. Annoyances and frustrations were expressed and blame was cast, that this stressful situation was because of me. Grandmother quickly made some adjustments on the dress but still the dress was tight. Mother, who suffered from occasional back problems, became incapacitated shortly before the Communion date which required her to remain in bed this day. German grandmother stayed with mother to help and to prepare for the after Communion party. Father and other relatives 25 attended the ceremony. Our class received Communion outside of the area designated for the altar where others who previously made this Sacrament regularly accepted the Communion Host. The small to medium sized church was constructed in 1894 in the traditional style of that era. The tall ceilings made the church appear larger. Beautifully carved wood and quality stained glass windows adorned the building. The ceremony was lovely and accomplished as practiced and all remembered not to chew on the Communion Host. I knew of two families in our neighborhood who had adopted their children. The children were given this information by their parents and so told other children that they were adopted. During this era, the recommendation was to inform adopted children of their adoption and state to them that they were selected and special. After finding out this information, I approached mother stating that the parents of these children were not their “real” parents. Mother said that she had information for me as well, stating that I was also adopted. I was upset by this new revelation and began to think about who my “real” parents were and where they might be. I began to withdraw from family conversations and resented some discipline and the required chores, believing that my “real” parents would be more understanding and nicer. A few weeks later mother confessed that she did indeed give birth to me but said that she was teaching me a lesson regarding who real parents are, as real parents are those who provide for the upbringing of a child. One evening in early summer, father hurried into the house from outside where he was mowing the lawn to inform mother, brother, and I that he had seen a low flying meteorite racing above the cornfield moments earlier. Quickly we dashed outside and looked towards the cornfield where we saw red, orange, yellow, and pink streaks left in the atmosphere of the meteorites path. Other neighbors viewed this scene as well. Father stated that because the meteorite was so close to the ground, it probably landed in the apple orchard next to the cornfield. The police were notified about this unusual occurrence where they stated that the meteorite was reported to have landed about ten to fifteen miles away in a wooded area of another town. In third grade, my eyes were opened to the societal problems and concerns of pollution. The teacher of this third grade class seemed to have a personal mission of teaching the class about pollution in addition to the other subject areas. I suspect that her obvious personal health problems of allergies may have contributed to a need to teach this subject area somewhat extensively to her students. We read various books on pollution, did reports on pollution, and viewed documentaries depicting smog, polluting smoke stacks, garbage strewn along waterways, and thermal pollution from nuclear facilities that resulted in detrimental changes to land and water ecosystems. The teacher discussed the relationship between environmental pollutants and the increased health problems of people. The class was made aware of the need for clean, alternative sources of energy. After receiving the above instruction, I recall becoming aggravated with a town mosquito spraying program conducted for a few years in the summer months of the second half of the 1960’s. This surreal experience began with town officials driving a car into our neighborhood and announcing by bullhorn that all people should return to their home, close all windows and doors, and remain inside their home. Shortly thereafter a truck would enter the desolate 26 neighborhood spraying the entire area with a chemical that created a thick fog obscuring all windows views to the outdoors. Sometime later, the official’s car would once again return and an official would announce by bullhorn, that it was safe to leave one’s home. One morning father received a concerned telephone call from a neighbor who said to him that a “peeping Tom” was discovered roaming the neighborhood. Through a succession of telephone calls and direct conversation with others residing in the neighborhood, everyone was alerted to this still not apprehended immoral deviate. The incredible outrage displayed by some people regarding this “peeping Tom” baffled me at this time. Mother purchased two Siamese fighting fish, a male and a female, a ten gallon aquarium, gravel, a filter, and a water heater from a local pet store. Also purchased was a booklet containing information about this variety of fish. She announced to me that we would be beginning a new hobby raising Siamese fighting fish. I was amazed at the brilliant colors on the fins of the male fish and watched him battle himself as he viewed his reflection on the glass of the fish tank. A short time later we realized that the female was with eggs. Mother informed me that it was imperative that the water temperature remain constant for the fry in the low 80 degrees Fahrenheit. After the male fish squeezed the eggs from the female, mother removed the female from the tank to prevent her from eating the eggs. We watched the male fish carry each egg in his mouth to a “bubble nest” built by him that was floating on the surface of the water. Once reaching this nest, he deposited the egg inside of a single bubble. A short time later we viewed tiny fry inside of the bubbles. The following weekend, mother had planned with father an evening out to a restaurant and a movie. She stated that a babysitter would be caring for brother and me during their excursion. The following morning we went into the room housing the Siamese fighting fish and the newly hatched fry only to realize that the tiny fish had all died. It was discovered that the babysitter had turned off a switch that operated the water heater. For various occasions my family would be invited to visit with German grandmother and grandfather. On one of these visits, grandmother, mother, and I were in the kitchen helping to prepare a meal to be served and were talking about various topics. The subject arose of an abortionist living in grandparent’s town. The house cited to me was familiar as we took many walks around grandparent’s neighborhood. The house was large for that era and had a meticulously maintained professionally landscaped property. I did not understand the word abortionist and asked what the word meant. After the definition was provided I quickly exclaimed that the police should be notified. The retort was that many people in town knew about this man and his practice, and so let somebody else call the police. Retrospective: Joyous events and occasions can sometimes be dampened or ruined due to the stress of party planning that is usually the responsibility of one individual. Fair divisions of tasks among family members would most likely solve this problem. If others are not willing to help then perhaps a desired celebration after an event should be cancelled. Some substances used for pest control in the 1960’s, were later found out to be extremely hazardous to humans. For example, DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) has been found to cause genetic mutations that could cause birth 27 defects among other problems. DDT has also been linked to the formation of cancer. This compound has also had a devastating effect on wildlife, especially birds, driving some species to the brink of extinction. Invasive technology has reduced the outrage expressed about the “peeping Tom’s” of yesteryear to a basic non issue. Caretakers should be informed of all important matters prior to assigning responsibility and departing an area. Due to increasing immorality in the society, it appears that an increasing number of people begin to suffer from the “bystander’s effect” perhaps due to a perceived realization of potential persecution for reporting wrongdoings within an ever increasing immoral society. Probably because many people did not report known illegal abortionists in neighborhoods throughout the United States prior to the legalization of abortion, abortion was easily legalized by evil doers beginning in 1967. Historical Accounts 1966: 15 The first artificial heart is installed in a person on April 21. The National Organization for Women (NOW) is begun in Washington D.C. on June 30. The building of the World Trade Center begins on August 5, using the architectural plans of Minoru Yamasaki. An earthquake in Turkey kills approximately two thousand four hundred people on August 19. Video games are invented by Ralph Baer in September. NASA launches Gemini 8 to dock spacecraft in orbit. There was a critical failure requiring the astronauts to return to earth. Explorer 32 is launched to research the atmosphere. Gemini 9 mission accomplishes the second United States walk in space. Gemini 10 successfully docks with another spacecraft and sets a world record, reaching 474 miles in altitude. Lunar Orbiter 1 is launched to probe the surface of the Moon. Lunar Orbiter 2 is launched to examine the Moon. England defeats West Germany to win the World Soccer Cup. Remarks: An American Japanese architect plans the construction of the World Trade Center. An outspoken feminist organization that supports abortion for women is launched. Many people most likely begin to question the increasing number of launches of the NASA space program with the accompanying taxpayer expenses. 1967 German grandmother was diagnosed with a terminal illness that I believe inspired an outrage in our family. Grandmother, who worked very hard all of her life and who was close to retiring from her long time job, had acquired a debilitating and deadly illness. Sometimes it is not easy for one to understand God’s reasons for tragic occurrences. Grandfather, mother and father had decided together with the physicians, not to inform her of the diagnosis to hopefully provide her with a positive outlook and hope for recovery. Treatment for grandmother’s illness was administered at a renowned city hospital that 28 specialized in remedies for her particular sickness. I was horrified and saddened to see the results of her therapy and dreaded these hospital visits. Her recuperation from this debilitating therapy was also lengthy and upsetting to me. The quaint and beautiful church in our town where I made my First Holy Communion the year prior had burnt to the ground. Therefore the Sacrament of Confirmation was scheduled to be held in the school auditorium of the local Catholic school. Relatives remarked that the age of eight years old was young for Confirmation and informed me that their Confirmation was at the age of twelve years. To make ready for this Sacrament, instruction centered on preparedness for the acceptance of the Holy Spirit. The Ten Commandments were referenced and basically explained. I asked about the meaning of keeping the Sabbath Day holy and was told that it meant attending mass on Sunday. As my family did not regularly attend Catholic mass, I resigned myself to the fact of probable condemnation regarding the violation of this Commandment. I realized much later in life, that perhaps there is an alternative to attending church services to satisfy a requirement of this Commandment. All students were asked to select a Confirmation name of their choosing provided the name chosen was the name of a Catholic Saint. I selected an aunt’s name on father’s paternal side of the family named Louise. An uncle teased me about the selection of this name, and mother was insulted as she was hoping that I would choose her name, Eleanor. I relented and decided to please mother and so selected her name. The ceremony required the wearing of a white rented gown. My assigned Confirmation partner was a boy I liked for his pleasantness and kindness to others. The vague recollection that I have of this ceremony is the Bishop confirming my acceptance of the Holy Spirit under the Confirmation name selected. Instruction in religion ended after receiving this Sacrament. Fourth grade as I recall was a year of confusion and an engagement in “daydreaming” for me. The method of teaching and instruction had changed this year to student’s being grouped by ability, at least for reading instruction. Prior to this time we read reading books together as a class taking turns reading book paragraphs in order according to individual desk assignments. The Science Research Associates reading program (SRA) was implemented in the school and students sat in groups (the desks were pushed together), for this instruction (goofing off with classmates was also part of this experience). The groups were categorized as A,B,C,D, and E with group A representing excellence and group E representing below average with a required remedial intervention. Each group read and worked on different reading and comprehension materials which were based on a graduated color coded card system. I remember wondering at that time how one teacher could administer to these five different reading programs, at the same time. The answer gradually became clear to me as all students basically worked independently or shared their answers with group members, which I interpreted as cheating. I also believed that the arrangement of sitting in a group was noisy and affected my concentration level because of the various diversions and distractions caused by group members and the other groups within the classroom. I was assigned to group B throughout the remainder of elementary school, although at one point, I was threatened with being moved down to group C, due to a careless attitude regarding the thorough completion of assignments. I recall sympathizing with the students in groups D and E, as they were thought by other student’s to be dumb. 29 Beginning at about this time, bizarre fads began to surface among youngsters. For examples, beginning in fifth grade in elementary school and beyond a child would be ostracized by peers for wearing white sneakers and/or white socks. If the white sneakers were dirty, that was accepted. By high school, using an umbrella to shield oneself from the rain inspired the ridicule of peers. Later and by the year 2000, children were likely persecuted by others for wearing a jacket or coat in cold weather as many students were seen not wearing this essential article of clothing in winter. An interesting and popular toy that brother and I liked playing with on occasion was a red and clear plastic rocket ship that we filled half way with water. The rocket ship set included a launch pad air pump combination piece that the partially filled water rocket attached to prior to launching. Brother or I would pump air into this rocket and then push a button attached to the air pump launch pad combination piece and watch the rocket soar into the air sometimes releasing water along the way. I often thought, even as a child that there was an important energy source available, but yet to be developed based on the concept of this toy. The releasing of air from a balloon is similar to this idea. Mother had suggested that I learn to play a musical instrument. Objecting to this suggestion due to an uncomfortable experience contending with a belligerent instructor of violin a year earlier, I expressed a protest to her suggestion. Later there was a reconsideration of thought and so mother enrolled me in desired lessons of accordion. After months of study and practice, the accordion teacher encouraged me to enter a musical contest where young musicians were invited to compete at a hotel in the city. At the contest two judges were assigned to my performance. The selection of instrumental played was accomplished without error and the judges complimented me on this performance. The judges then asked me to replay the musical piece at a quicker pace where one, then two, then many errors were made due to nervous anxiety. A merit trophy was the result of this performance. In the summer of this year, mother suggested that I attend an all girls’ overnight camp for two weeks. I was hesitant about attending, but after reviewing the activities through a camp information guide, I decided that this might be a fun experience. The girls in the camp were assigned to specific areas based on age. Further assignments by college age counselors were to tents containing four girls to each tent. All of the girls in the tent of my assignment were compatible. We talked incessantly and were constantly punished through loss of privileges and activities for speaking after “lights out”. One girl in our tent, who attended the camp in a prior year, discussed a panty raid that took place during each camp session. We asked this girl to explain the event more thoroughly. She stated that the older girls raided the camp section of the younger girls, taking their underwear, sometimes from their luggage, or sometimes from their bodies. All of us in that tent were terrified and began to dread this event. Fortunately, it rained for about twelve days, causing most of the activities and events to be cancelled. I returned home with a moldy sleeping bag and a vow to never attend overnight camp again. Great grandmother, great aunt, and her husband paid frequent visits to mother during week day afternoons. When arriving at the top of our street on the walk home from school and viewing their car in our driveway, I would happily race home to speak with these loved relatives. Great uncle was an 30 outspoken and feisty World War II veteran who enjoyed speaking about issues, World War II, and politics. An abominable story he relayed that one never forgot was about a battle he was about to engage in located in the South Pacific. He stated to us that upon arriving at the place of battle, he saw local women nursing piglets at their breasts because the mother sow was killed for food. Later, in the United States and by the 1980’s working mothers used a machine to pump milk from their breasts for their infants’ consumption while at daycare. By the early years of the twenty first century, some establishments were involved in the abominable practice of producing cheese from women’s breast milk. Lower priced department stores frequently contained a pet department offering small animals for sale such as birds, hamsters, fish, and young turtle hatchlings. This year, mother had purchased for me a turtle terrarium and four turtles. The turtles were lively, interesting, and fun to observe and handle. One day after arriving home from school, I discovered that one turtle had escaped over the four inch wall of the terrarium. Two weeks later, the turtle was found in mother and father’s bedroom but was weak from lack of food and water and died shortly thereafter. Later that summer, the remaining three turtles were released into a garden pond that father had constructed in the backyard. A short time later, I voiced my objection to mother and father about a new government regulation enacted that forbid the sale of these small turtles. The apparent reason for this was that some kids were putting the turtles into their mouths or were not washing their hands after handling them and were contracting salmonella poisoning. This resulted in all people not being permitted to purchase these interesting and educational creatures. One day, upon arriving home from school, mother surprised me with a dog, a striking black and tan female German Shepherd. The service station where mother repaired her car was seeking a home for this gentle, nine month old dog that allowed their service station to be robbed. Upon father’s approval, this dog joined our other much older Beagle as a family pet. I enjoyed taking the German Shepherd regularly for long walks in the farm area as well as in the forest near our home. For Memorial Day weekend, mother and father informed brother and I that the family would be vacationing for a few days at a town located along the coastline of New Jersey. I was pleased with this short beach excursion but was concerned with the care of our pets while we were away. Mother stated that a neighbor would be caring for our older Beagle hound, cat, and other small animals but the German Shepherd, who was a young rambunctious dog and in estrus, would be placed in a kennel because of concerns that she would be too difficult for the neighbor to handle. So the German Shepherd was dropped off at the kennel just prior to us entering the interstate highway which was about ten miles from our home. On our return and before arriving home, we stopped at the kennel to retrieve the dog. At that time, the kennel owner informed us that the dog escaped by digging under an outdoor pen. I was extremely upset, dismayed, and in disbelief that my beloved pet had run away from this facility. For days mother and I searched the large wooded area behind the kennel calling the dog’s name but to no avail. About two weeks later and as I was overcoming my grief, mother retrieved me from school and informed me that the lost dog was found and safely at home. Mother elaborated further by informing 31 me that the dog had crossed directly in front of her car many miles away from our home while she was returning from a shopping trip. Upon arriving home, one ran to the dog, embraced her and noted that her paws were red, bruised, and cut in areas. Expecting a litter of mongrels to be born sometime later, mother was pleased that the dog apparently was completely focused on returning home and rejected a natural instinct to mate. One could not believe this miracle of the dog’s return and henceforth always believed this dog to be a special animal. Retrospective: Thought should be given to the selection of a relevant and significant Confirmation name by the Catholic candidate. For a student to select a saint’s name that has no meaning or importance to the Confirmation candidate suggests a lack of respect for family, mentors, or close friends by the young person. To assist one with the selection of a Confirmation name, choose the name of a living or deceased relative, the name of a godparent, a mentor, or the male or female version of the name selected by one’s parents should one have been born of the opposite sex. For example and hypothetically, if a girl named Catherine had been born a boy, the parents would have selected the name Michael. Catherine therefore may want to select the name Michelle for her Confirmation name as it is the feminine version of Michael. Paint sprayers sold in the stores are based on the same concept of the rocket ship toy. Paint is placed in a container where air is pumped into this container and compressed. A hose and handle connected to the container releases paint when a lever on the handle is depressed. The amount of paint released is based on the pressure applied to the handle lever. Is it possible that air pressure could be used to operate machinery including vehicles with minimal fossil fuel energy (or perhaps solar energy) required to operate an air pump to be fed into an engine? If this is possible then air is a clean, unlimited, free, and safe source of energy. Accidents, mistakes, and an inability to think clearly are sometimes the results of a hurried environment. As a greater number of mother’s engage in various employments, summer camps are established to fulfill child care needs. Many times punitive laws are enacted effecting all individuals, due to the carelessness of a few people. Our family’s home life began to reflect to a greater extent the happenings within the society. Sadness, aggravation, annoyances, confusion, a sense of hurriedness, fighting, fear, and frustration for examples became a part of everyday living. Leisurely walks and explorations of nature provided a relief for me from these emotional upsets. Historical Accounts 1967: 16 The body of Dr. James Bedford becomes the first to be preserved through a process called cryonics on June 12. The Great Britain Parliament decriminalizes homosexuality on July 4. The Great Britain Parliament approves abortion on October 25. The Beatles release “I Am the Walrus” on November 24. The United States, States of Colorado, California, Oregon, and North Carolina approve abortion. 17 32 Protests escalate against the Vietnam War. NASA: Three astronauts are killed in a fire aboard Apollo 1. That same day, three countries sign the Outer Space Treaty. NASA continues to launch four spacecrafts this year. Remarks: A dividing line is crossed to engage vast populations of people in gross immoralities. Various rock and roll groups try to relay this message through music. 1968 In the spring of this year, mother suggested that we breed our German Shepherd to provide an educational experience for brother and I. Mother reflected on her positive experience with her childhood dog that also had puppies. I was excited about this idea and offered any assistance required. Mother contacted the American Kennel Club (AKC), who provided her with information regarding kennels in the area specializing in this breed of dog. A local kennel was contacted and arrangements were made for a sire. Mother would not permit me to view the breeding process which was fine with me. A week or so prior to the expected delivery date, father built a whelping box in the downstairs laundry room for the German Shepherd to sleep in to accustom the dog to the desired place for the birth of her puppies. Mother worked two days a week and this day that I returned home from school, she was at her place of employment. Upon arriving home, I sought out the dog who was nowhere in the downstairs living area. I nervously climbed the stairs calling her name and began searching the upstairs bedrooms. My parent’s bedroom contained two twin beds that were pushed together. I located the German Shepherd lying in father’s bed with two puppies that had already been born. Frantically, I telephoned mother at her job with this information. She hurried home to attend to the birth of four more puppies. When father arrived home from work, he was stunned and aghast to discover this brood of newborn puppies on his bed. Mother dog and puppies were relocated downstairs to the whelping box and father spent a few nights on the couch during the bed cleanup process. I immensely enjoyed these puppies and mother and I became involved with a German Shepherd dog club that was years ago established in the area. After deciding to keep one puppy from this brood, I became involved in dog training and dog shows where several ribbons were won over the course of several years. At one time, we owned five dogs and father’s threat to leave, when the dogs outnumbered the people in the house, never came to fruition. Frequently on a Saturday or Sunday, my family would drive to New Jersey to visit with relatives. Our first stop along the way was usually to great grandmother’s home where we would sit in the kitchen eating an apple tart that she always made on Saturdays, and exchanged news. If we visited on Sunday, the apple tart had a moth ball taste as she always used camphor in her cabinets to ward off flour bugs. I learned to politely decline that tart on a Sunday visit. Great grandmother always reminded us of the daily pill she had to take for an illness. I had great empathy for poor great grandmother who was required to take a pill every day, in order to continue to live. 33 During the spring vacation of this year, I spent one week visiting first with maternal German grandparents and then with paternal great aunt and uncle. At grandmother’s home, I rested with her as she watched soap operas on television. I accompanied her on the walk to the grocery store. She taught me how to sew and arranged for an excursion to the city to see an Easter show which I much enjoyed. Great aunt picked me up later in the week to stay with her and great uncle who were childless. Great aunt was an enthusiastic personality and young for her years. She enjoyed bowling and was a member of a bowling team. Hence, time was spent bowling and chatting with league members. (A few months later she brought me a bowling ball, and I joined a bowling league.) During this visit, she and I visited a department store where we browsed through swimsuits. I saw a bright, multicolored bikini with a matching cover up that I liked very much. I informed great aunt however, that I was not permitted to wear a bikini. Great aunt laughed and bought me this swimsuit ensemble stating that it was an early birthday gift. She also provided me with nail polish and an electric leg shaver that I thought was amazing. Needless to say, mother was not pleased with these gifts and complained to father about his aunt. In the neighborhood, lived a child who was regarded as a “genius” with whom I had the opportunity to be acquainted. The boy was about three years younger than I and at three years old gave his father the correct instructions on how to repair their lawn mower. At this young age, his vocabulary was equivalent to that of a college professor. The child was an accomplished reader and knowledgeable about various scientific topics prior to beginning public school. The public school district was unsure about a grade placement for the boy so various tests were administered where it was determined that at least an upper elementary level was the appropriate placement based on his intellect. However, other concerns and factors were examined by the parents and school district such as various psychological considerations. For example, because his physical development was that of a five year old, concerns were that perhaps he would be bullied by other older children in the grade. The parents who were religious Catholics decided to place the boy one grade ahead of his age and supplement him with a higher level of instruction taught at home. A few years later and during a conversation with the boy, who amused and amazed me with his intellectual prowess, the suggestion was made by him that we form a band as through the conversation he became aware that I played the accordion. I humored him by agreeing that perhaps we should form a band. Days later he called at my home to inform me that he had “signed on” other members to join the band and that he wanted to arrange for a practice date. Realizing that “I had put my foot in my mouth”, as I knew him to be an accomplished player of several musical instruments while I was a novice accordion player, I politely declined his invitation stating that there was a reconsideration of thought on my part not to join the band as my schedule would not allow time to participate in practices. After the boy left our home, I stated to mother that this boy would likely solve many of the world’s problems as it appeared to me that he always had the correct moral answers and solutions to problems. Years later while visiting mother and father as an adult, one asked what had become of this boy known in childhood. Mother stated that he had obtained a job as a foreign language instructor. 34 In fifth grade, an afternoon assembly lasting at least three days was planned for grades fourth through sixth where students were brought to the auditorium to view film footage of the Jewish holocaust of the 1930’ and 1940’s. These films were extremely disturbing and students asked why it was necessary to view this horror. School administration stated that perhaps by viewing these films a future catastrophe such as presented in the films, would be prevented from ever occurring again. My personal view towards humanity changed after viewing these films from a completely positive impression of people to a cautiously optimistic view of people. I discussed my distain for these films with mother and she stated that there was more to this story then met the eye and that I would understand this when older. It became apparent shortly after the second half of fifth grade that our teacher was expecting a baby. Most students became extra helpful to her and exhibited especially good behavior. This teacher experimented with a variety of seating arrangements possibly to keep students alert and engaged in the lessons taught. Sometimes our desks were arranged in rows, at other times desks were arranged in small groups, large groups, and an open ended circle facing in the direction of the chalkboard. For some lessons, especially arithmetic, students solved problems in front of the class on the chalkboard, explaining each step and the reasoning used to arrive at the answer, to the class. It was at this time that I thought about becoming an elementary school teacher. As a matter of fact, at 5’4 and weighing 120 pounds, some people who viewed my fifth grade class photograph, thought that I was the teacher. Retrospective: The raising, breeding, training, and showing of German Shepherds provided a good focus and interest to divert me from the ever increasing and disturbing societal news. Visiting with extended family was a priority for us. Some people appear not to taste a strong mothball flavor in foods that they store in cabinets treated with camphor. In comparing great grandmother’s requirement to take one pill a day for an illness with today’s over abundance of drugs prescribed for the same illness, I cannot help but wonder if the human body has evolved in an accelerated way during the past fifty years or so. Without a competent education in Biblical morality, it is a “lost cause” to prevent immoral societal forces from heavily influencing children, and I believe great aunt realized this fact. Historical Accounts 1968: 18 Martin Luther King Jr. is assassinated on April 4. Pope Paul VI publishes encyclical Humanae Vitae on July 25. News documentary 60 minutes televises their first show on September 24. On September 24, Yale University opens enrollment to women. The United States Congress legislates on November 14 that the dollar will no longer be backed by gold. NASA launches four Apollo spacecrafts. Remarks: An African American leader is assassinated causing some people to riot and protest. The Catholic Church continues to condemn abortion. A news show I watched regularly beginning at age 35 twelve years old debuts. I was pleased with this documentary news show and was under the impression that “60 Minutes” solved some problems and assisted in serving some justice within the society. Women demand admission to formally all male colleges and universities. It appears that the government and corporations are fully deciding the value of money. NASA continues launches into space. 1969 We were informed by great aunt that compassionate great grandmother peacefully died in her sleep to our astonishment as she appeared to be in good health during a recent conversation. Mother and father decided that brother and I would not attend this funeral of grief. Mother chastised me for watching too much television and encouraged me to read books instead. I agreed with her and stated that at times cartoons and other shows created a sense of frustration in me and stated said that I would rather be “doing than watching”. Mother provided me with many books that she had read as an older child and suggested that I read them. I opened one book and turned the yellowed pages and began reading. The characters described in the book seemed old and outdated and so I decided and told mother that I was not interested in reading these “ancient” books. She purchased me a Nancy Drew mystery book and the “right” reading material was found. I read every book in the Nancy Drew series during the next two years. Frequently, and on our way driving to a shopping area, mother and I would pass a stately white building with several large white columns supporting the front roof. The building had a large sign attached in the front of the building identifying it as a Masonic Lodge. I asked mother to explain to me the definition of a Masonic Lodge. She stated that it is a place where Mason’s regularly conduct meetings and they are a group to “stay away from”. Additionally, it was implied that they were involved in some vague form of corruption. Years later and by the 1990’s this building became The Church of Scientology. By 2010, one recognized the similar agendas of both groups. By the end of the 1960’s the State of New York permitted all retail concerns to remain open for business on the Christian Sabbath Day of Sunday thus effectively negating blue laws that required Sunday closures of many retail outlets prior to this time. The above legislation resulted in for those people who were not well versed in abiding by The Ten Commandments, avoiding Capital sins, and Abominations an increased influence over those individuals by merchants who desired to sell their wares on God’s designated day of rest. Also employees of the merchants were largely expected to work on the Sabbath Day. Declining to work on this day could have resulted in job dismissal for some employees. This legislation also likely contributed to an increased sense of hurriedness and anxiety in most all people living in the society. Obviously, the negating of blue laws were related to other immoral factors occurring in the society which were an increasing general disregard in adhering to God’s Laws by many. Sixth grade was my final year of attendance at the elementary school. Teachers dedicated a large percentage of this year to the preparation of students for a new educational experience in junior high school. So, instead of one teacher, I had two teachers because the subject areas were divided. My English teacher was especially fussy and taught in the methodical traditional method of an earlier 36 curriculum. Essay and report writing were an integral part of instruction. She was a stickler for neatness, demanded impeccable handwriting, and insisted that students follow the proper guidelines of storytelling or report writing by answering the important questions of who, what, when, where, which, why, and sometimes how, in all written work. During a sixth grade science lesson with another teacher, I learned that if one parent has brown eyes and the other parent has blue eyes, that there is a one in four chance that the child will have blue eyes. I also learned that two blue eyed parents could never have a brown eyed child. I failed to understand this reasoning explained to me several times by science teachers throughout this year and other years, as the human body contains many chromosomes containing millions of genes connected to these chromosomes from past relatives. Throughout elementary school, teachers at times would appoint two team “captains” to choose team members for sports or other activities. Repeatedly, the same few students were always last to be selected by their peers due to some perceived notion of some deficit of those children. Then one time when I was selected as team “captain” I choose one child who was always last to be selected, first. The child was elated and overjoyed but I was booed by my peers. Sympathizing with these few children and myself after this booing experience, one then thought that perhaps the teacher should select and assign team members. Mother, father, brother, and I would somewhat regularly visit at a renowned military academy in the area. The grounds were lovely and provided an overlook of magnificent views of a river and valley. At this academy there were frequent concerts and football games that were scheduled on the weekends which were also open to public attendance. Nearby, there was a women’s college that mother wanted me to attend. Mother was not pleased with my idea of becoming an elementary school teacher citing a lack of jobs in that profession. Instead, she promoted the idea of becoming a nurse and marrying a cadet from the military academy. I liked this idea and decided that I may pursue this plan in my teenage years. Mother and father planned with neighbors to spend a long August weekend with both families at a well known mountain resort a few hours from our home. Mother announced that there were children’s programs at the resort for brother and myself and the neighbor’s two children to participate in. With suspicion regarding the children’s programs, but still harboring a positive attitude, I departed with family and neighbors who were driving their own car, for this short vacation. As we neared the resort, we noticed a traffic slowdown. We began to look around and noticed the people in the cars and vans on the roadway. All were young people with many wearing anti-establishment clothing. Many of the men had long hair. Some of the cars and vans had overheated and sat at the side of the road. Some of the inhabitants of these vehicles, who were now sitting or lying on the grass, appeared to be under the influence of marijuana or other drugs as their behavior was erratic. Father was beside himself and wondered what the reason was for this unruly crowd. Mother turned on the radio only to find out that the Woodstock Concert was this same long weekend of our resort vacation. Father became increasingly nervous and agitated as we sat in bumper to bumper traffic. I was amused by this circumstance and found it to be odd and interesting. We finally arrived at the resort after hours and hours on the highway, almost missing dinner hour. Immediately, father and the neighbor with maps in hand, strategically 37 planned another route for the return trip home. As far as I was concerned my suspicions of the children’s program, including a separate dining experience for children were well founded. There were too many rules and regulations with regard to age. For example, a good swimmer was not permitted in the deep end of the swimming pool based on age alone and not skill or ability. Dinner consisted of the foods “children like” such as hot dogs, hamburgers, and spaghetti and these were served on a long table in a dark windowless room. After giving this arrangement a try, I complained to mother and father that I did not want to participate and so was excused from the resort’s children’s programs. Neighborhood children usually played and engaged in activities outdoors. Games of ball and other childhood games were organized by groups of friends. Fighting occurred from time to time, usually dueto name calling. Physical appearances and perceived personality deficits were cited to instigate these brawls. My group of friends arranged for adventures in fishing, hiking, sledding, skiing, and skating in the nearby natural area, in addition to participating in the neighborhood activities of ball and brawls. After moving from this area, and then returning in adulthood, I took a walk along the same wooded paths as in childhood, a sense of relaxation and safety departed from me however, when I noticed a hunter’s deer perch constructed in a tree along the pathway. Retrospective: Children should be encouraged to read sane books. Parents can assist by providing a choice of several different varieties of books written in series format, to let the youngster decide on their favorite character(s) and series. Patronizing business concerns on the Sabbath Day whether for reasons of leisure or otherwise encourages widespread societal violations of Commandment IV. Not all plans are achieved. Children seem to become a nuisance to some parents requiring a separation from them during vacation time. Some people make statements in an immoral society that defy common sense and become facts. In an immoral society, ways of life change quickly. Historical Accounts 1969: 19 The gay rights movement begins on June 28 with the Stonewall riots. In Great Britain, the half penny is no longer considered to be legal tender as of July 31. The first men walk on the Moon on July 21. The United States erects the U.S. flag on the Moon’s surface. Pope Paul VI sends 73 messages of congratulations to NASA, from international leadership. The first internet message is sent through the ARPANET system on October 29. The second moonwalk is accomplished on November 19. Remarks: Homosexual’s gain political clout that is based on sexual relations. The United States makes first claims to the Moon by erecting a flag. The first message is sent via the internet. It would take more than thirty years for many people to have access to this form of communication. 38 1970 In the winter of this year, we were notified of the impending and expected death of my maternal grandmother. She was admitted to a nursing care facility two weeks prior to her death due to the inability of grandfather and parents to care for her in an increasingly difficult situation because of her rapidly deteriorating health. German grandmother, a proper and genteel woman had departed our family leaving a void, never to be filled. Mother and father determined that brother and I would not be attending the sorrowful event of her funeral. At Easter time, a local pet store displayed many newly hatched chicks in their store window. One day while visiting this pet store without mother and father one decided to purchase these chicks at the price of six for one dollar. I was hoping that the chicks bought were hens to provide our family with fresh eggs. Upon arriving home, mother expressed some chagrin with this purchase but allowed me to keep these birds. Initially, the chicks were housed in a large cardboard box that was set on the dining room table. After three weeks though, it became clear through the emerging combs that all the chicks were roosters. Releasing these birds into the backyard, they fought with each other continually until one day three were discovered dead. Disgusted with this situation, I realized my mistake in purchasing these creatures. Mother then boxed the remaining three birds and brought them to a local resident who accepted them into their backyard chicken coop. During the spring of this year, father became temporarily unemployed due to a downturn in the construction industry. Father stated that the expectation was that this period of unemployment would be extended and lengthy. At the end of the school year, and in June mother called me into the kitchen to discuss an important matter. I began to anticipate more bad news but contrary to this newly developed attitude of pessimism, she stated that the family would be taking an extended vacation to Europe. I could not believe what I just heard and was overwhelmed with joy, excitement, and anticipation. This was like a dream come true as many of the faraway places that I read about in school social studies, would be visited! The plan was that grandfather and I would leave two weeks prior to father, mother, and brother’s departure to Europe to stay with relatives and visit with extended family members in Germany. Mother and father had purchased a German car to be picked up upon their arrival with brother in Stuttgart. They would drive to the small town in Germany where grandfather and I were staying with a great aunt and uncle. From this point, grandfather, mother, father, brother, and I would begin our European tour. Mother advised me that a passport and a small pox vaccination would be required. Shortly after receiving this immunization, I complained to mother about not being able to think clearly, connect thoughts, and focus. She stated that this was just my imagination and these symptoms were likely due to the anxious anticipation of the impending trip. As luck would have it, a few days later I fractured my wrist playing softball. Another girl and I were in the outfield of a school athletic field running for a hit ball when both of us slipped on the grass of the morning dew and collided. Mother brought me to a physician who confirmed a fractured wrist through x-rays. Fortunately my wrist did not have to be reset and so a cast to the elbow was administered by a local hospital. I was very upset with this problem occurring at such an inopportune time. I was told that perhaps the cast could be removed 39 prior to the recommended six weeks if I drank plenty of milk. This advice was followed and the cast was indeed removed after three and one half weeks later as the fracture was shown to be healed through an x-ray examination. I was supplied with a tan elastic bandage to support this sensitive area for the duration of the next few weeks. A day later, grandfather and I departed on an evening flight to Frankfurt, Germany. I had some reservations about flying on an airplane and so suggested to mother and father that we travel to Europe by ship. They replied that this suggestion was absurd and nonsense as the journey would take too long. My fears about travelling by airplane were alleviated as the flight progressed. I witnessed on this journey, the Northern Lights which were awe inspiring. After arriving at the Frankfurt airport, grandfather and I boarded a train to a small town in Southern Germany. After settling in at great aunt and uncle’s home, several excursions to visit extended family in Germany were arranged. One visit was to a relative’s farm where grandfather, speaking in German conversed with cousins. Not able to understand this language, I ventured into the farm pasture to view the cows. The animals were standing close to the roadway so I crossed the pasture to obtain a closer look and to possibly pet these large but docile animals. Suddenly I felt a wave of electricity surging into my leg and then throughout my body. Quickly, I looked close to the ground and noticed a thin silver wire installed around the perimeter of property close to the street. I desperately tried to move my leg but my leg seemed to be frozen in place. After what seemed to be an interminable amount of time, finally I was able to pull back my leg from this connection with an electrical wire. I could not believe what had just transpired and thought to myself that this was a cruel way to keep animals confined to an area. We visited pleasantly with other cousins at their homes and made excursions with them to several restaurants in the countryside where we took leisurely and serene walks after eating our dinner. Three cousins were about the same ages as brother and I so we engaged in discussions with them regarding culture, sports, music, school, and other areas of pre teen to teenage interests. Within a few days, grandfather, mother, father, brother, and I departed for our three week excursions to Switzerland, Italy, and Austria. We all had a very enjoyable time visiting historical landmarks and experienced the vibrant and lively cultures of these countries. I began a new junior high school in September with a foreign routine that I was somewhat prepared for in elementary school the school year prior. Students had five subject area teachers and teachers for special subject areas. An electronic alarm sounded at the end of class to signal the moving of students from one class to another. I was not forewarned and so had a sense of incredulity when told of the preparatory requirements for physical education. I brought my sneakers to school on the first designated day for physical education that was typed on a schedule and expected to change my shoes for a sports activity. The students were told however, that a complete change of clothing was required and orders were taken for physical education uniforms. We were given a tour of the locker room. The room was open with shower stalls and no privacy for changing clothes. For several physical education classes, I sensed a wave of embarrassment as I quickly changed clothing for this class. I began to experience troubles in the understanding of the logic in solving mathematical problems and was 40 faltering in that subject area. Father stated that he could help me with homework. However, he also did not understand the procedures shown in the textbook. He showed me another simpler method he learned to solve similar problems. In school this other method was not acceptable because all the steps as shown in the textbook were required to be written by the student for full credit, with partial credit given for the steps shown in arriving at the answer. At this point I became confused and continued to falter in mathematics throughout the remainder of school. A series of occult books were unsolicited and were being widely distributed through the mail in the United States by a major publishing company during this year. This decade was the era of published encyclopedias, which were heavily marketed to a specified group within the United States and were based on specific subject areas. Mother for example, subscribed to a wildlife encyclopedia series after receiving a free first volume book in the mail. One afternoon, a free first volume book of this occult encyclopedia series arrived at our home. The first free volume eerily depicted a Satanic like creature on the cover of the book. Curious, I browsed through this book and suggested that mother subscribe to the other books in this twenty four volume set. 20 She declined this suggestion and retorted that reading about the occult, many times results in evil influences gaining power and control over the individual thus resulting in the initiation of that person into the occult. This “free” book quickly “disappeared” from our household. Retrospective: The early months of this year were a grievous one for our family. Mother lifted us out of these doldrums with an extended, interesting, and varied summer vacation. One can compare aspects of the current “Don’t ask”, “Don’t tell” government military policy with the purchase of the chicks. A cruel way of confining farm animals to an area becomes common place for family pets by the end of the century, with an electrified collar system. Dogs have turned to viciousness against their owners because of this way of confining an animal to an area. After vacation, I returned to the questioning of various situations, authoritative decrees, rules, and procedures that did not seem to make sense, be moral, or just. By 2013, one recognized the effects on the individual with the relatively modern concept of school districting. Large school districts where thousands of students between the ages of ten and eighteen years attend together can confuse, disorient, divert, and distract from the school curriculum thus affecting not only the students, but the parents as well. This large “corporation” mentality beginning at a young age leads one to experience a loss of sense of self, individuality, and a degree of authority as a person and as an individual whose opinion is listened to, valued, and respected. In these extraordinary large schools young people, at a transitional time in their lives, can become overwhelmed and over exposed to many, many fellow students problems and concerns while most of the students are not even very well known to them, as in elementary school. This environment is analogous to students being treated like “branded cattle” with each assigned a number. It should also be noted that large district schooling of students is a Communist concept. Therefore, one suggests returning to the concept and implementation of small neighborhood, town, and hamlet schools for all children five to eighteen years to provide for a sense of self, family, a focus on studies, and a true concern for others due to the smaller and more manageable environment. With the adoption of a small neighborhood school system, should the student wish to attend college in likely a much larger and perhaps corporate like environment, that 41 student and young adult has established a strong sense of individuality and morality because of a good preparation and a solid foundation in his or her small school experience. And certainly, the massive school buildings that have been constructed can be put to good use as merchandise marts, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, or used for other business concerns. Perhaps, some of these buildings could be converted to community work and study homes. Read the Commentary on Welfare for further information regarding this concept. And of course all funds obtained from the sales of these buildings could be used towards the construction of many smaller school buildings throughout the nations. Evil doers are promoting the occult and its’ practices to others, especially young people. Historical Accounts 1970: 21 A powerful earthquake kills over fifteen thousand people in China on January 5. The State of New York joins other States in approving abortion for New Yorkers on April 9. 22 A powerful earthquake kills approximately one hundred thousand people in Peru on May 31. A powerful cyclone kills over five hundred thousand people in Bangladesh on November 1. Bolivian artist Benjamin Mendoza attempts to assassinate Pope Paul VI on November 27. Various terrorist groups around the world are involved in kidnappings, assassinations, and attacks against the public and public representatives. A harrowing occurrence aboard Apollo 13 causes astronauts to abort their mission. Brazil defeats Italy to win the world soccer cup. Remarks: People around the world fail to be “on the same page at the same time” creating situations of political, psychological, religious, and social mayhem and catastrophe. A return to the following of The Ten Commandments, avoidance of Capital Sins and Abominations would more than likely grant people the skills necessary for compromise, for one example. Individual and population repentance is part of this formula. An unusual number of powerful natural disasters occur. 1971 We received a telephone call from a neighbor of grandfather’s to inform us of his sudden death after calling for him at his home. After receiving no answer after knocking at the door of his home and telephoning him, the neighbors called the police who discovered his body inside the house. From time to time, grandfather complained of headaches but this news of his sudden death was completely unexpected. Grandfather was basically a quiet man who I joined on many walks around our and his neighborhood. Mother and father believed me to be old enough to attend his funeral. Mother worked three days a week in a local office building. At dinner one evening, she remarked about a significant number of out of state licensed cars parked in the parking lot of her place of employment. 42 As the State of New York had approved abortion the year prior, she realized that the out of state cars parked, were due to the establishment of an abortion clinic that had recently opened in the same building of her employment. She additionally exclaimed that she and another working in the office of her employment, swore that they heard the cries of babies coming from a nearby dumpster. My retort was that we had to do something. Mother eased my fears and concerns by suggesting that the Catholic Church would intervene in this nightmare. Two of our female German Shepherds had given birth to a total of three broods of puppies. For each brood of puppies born, we would assign a letter of the alphabet to that brood. Then each puppy was assigned an individual name beginning with that letter of the alphabet, assigned to the brood. I grew fond of all the puppies and hoped that they would be purchased by good, responsible people. At times, mother and I would inquire of the puppies by contacting the purchasers by telephone. My interest began to subside with regard to the breeding of our dogs after receiving a couple of disturbing telephone calls from former puppy owners. These people called to tell us that the dog they purchased from us was hit by a car and they were inquiring if we might have another puppy to sell to them. For one class in school, we had an engaging teacher who occasionally digressed from lecture and other classroom studies to tell us about a new puppy that his wife brought home. Every morning, this teacher had a mess of excrement to clean up before leaving for his teaching job. It was an amusing story and provided a short diversion from class work. At about this time, I discovered a practical joke item at home. In a drawer, I found a plaster and paint replica of dog feces. It reminded me of this teacher’s story and so I brought it to school. I showed this item to several classmates prior to class and jokingly and mildly suggested that we put it on the floor of this teacher’s classroom, prior to his arrival in class. A classmate grabbed this fake excrement out of my hand. I demanded that she return this to me as my suggestion was in jest. She refused to return it, and placed it on the floor just seconds before our teacher walked into the classroom, allowing me no time to retrieve it. Upon entering the classroom, the teacher was visibly taken aback and aghast, believing this prank to be real. Someone in the classroom exclaimed that the teacher’s puppy was here. His surprise turned to anger when he realized that this was a practical joke. He picked up the painted plaster and asked who it belonged to. No one in the class spoke a word. The entire class was threatened with indefinite after school detention until the owner was identified. Still no one spoke. The teacher proceeded to give everyone detention beginning that afternoon. At that point, I stated that the replica of dog excrement belonged to me. I waited for the person who put it down on the floor to also admit her guilt, and I also thought others in the class would tell the truthful story. No one said a word. It was demanded of me by the teacher to take this embarrassing prank to the school principal. In junior high I became more than aware of a young girl who was expecting a baby. I complained to mother and father that I believed that this girl should not be attending school as she was a negative influence on the other students and contributed to an increased atmosphere of promiscuity. Mother gave me another of many moral lectures. 43 In homemaking class, we learned how to sew using a sewing machine. The teacher determined that we would be sewing skirts and so mother purchased the needed material for this project. After completing the skirt and liking this finished work, I decided that I would like to make more skirts at home however through investigation I realized that it cost substantially more to make a skirt than to buy one. Maxi dresses (dresses with length to the floor), were popular during this era and so after requesting this style of dress, mother one day purchased me a dress of this style. After wearing the dress to school one day however, I despised it as I had a sense of wearing a nightgown to school and could not focus on school curriculum. Near the end of the school year, students were informed that we had won a “Carefree Sugarless Gum” contest where the Raspberries and Grass Roots rock and roll bands would be giving a concert at our junior high school. I thought that this concert would most certainly be held during after school hours. However, it was scheduled and attended in the school’s auditorium during regular school hours. Mother, at this time experienced a health problem where it was required by the physician that various laboratory tests be conducted on her blood. After obtaining the results of one test, the physician remarked that mother’s blood contained a healthy high content of iron. The physician asked mother if she was ingesting iron supplement tablets and her reply was no. The physician then asked mother about the material of the pans that she used for cooking when it was determined that a cast iron frying pan frequently used to cook foods was supplying not only her, but also our family with this necessary nutrient.The above short story warrants a discussion about changes in cookware and bake ware that began occurring at about this time. Teflon, which is a non stick plastic coating, was increasingly being applied by houseware manufacturers to the interior of pots, pans, and baking sheets to prevent food from sticking to the above resulting in the easier cleaning of these household products. Prior to the inside applications of Teflon or T-Fal, cookware and bake ware were completely constructed of cast iron, an aluminum and stainless steel alloy, stainless steel, aluminum, or heat resistant glass. In reviewing information on Teflon and T-Fal, one becomes aware that upon reaching a range of high temperatures, noxious fumes are emitted from this substance. Pet birds have died from these fumes and people have become ill with influenza like symptoms after inhaling these vapors. One also wonders if ingesting foods cooked or baked in Teflon coated products is harmful. A family member confirmed information to me through a story about a large tropical bird owned by the family member that died while the family member was cooking with a Teflon coated pot. Personal experience regarding the use of heat resistant glass resulted in one episode of the glass shattering into the food while baking this food in the oven. By 2013, many cookware manufacturers were offering pots and pans with glass lids perhaps leading to the same type of accidents as described above. One would also like to discuss the change in the handles of cookware. Years ago, various brands of cookware offered handles constructed of a heat resistant material where heat from the hot pot or pan was not conducted to the handles of the above unlike today’s cookware that requires the use of a pot holder. A return to the exclusive use of cast iron, an aluminum and stainless steel alloy, and stainless steel cookware and bake ware with heat resistant 44 handles would prevent health problems and also accidents due to the unprotected grasping of a hot handle or problems associated with the shattering of glass into foods while cooking and baking. Annually, and in summer father, mother, brother, and I would attend a popular amusement park in the area. On my last visit to this park as the park was closing due to the planned construction of high rise apartments on the property, I took possibly my last ride on the park’s impressive roller coaster. Upon disembarking from this ride and exiting the perimeter of the ride, I saw a nameplate necklace lying on the pavement just outside of this roller coaster. I picked up the necklace and read the name “Rebecca”. I brought the necklace home and considered wearing it as it was attractive but then thought how foolish and deceptive this would be as my name was not “Rebecca”. I vowed that although I liked the name, I would never change my name. Retrospective: Grandfather’s funeral was not the morbidity I expected. It was a solemn mass held in tribute to grandfather. Why would some people think that if one is irresponsible the first time that they would be trusted with similar responsibility the second time, especially with regard to living creatures? There are psychological situations that occur in this society, that I do not understand thus disqualifying me from answering. Early, in the twenty first century, it was reported that this same school that I had attended was giving a presentation by an outside expert on internet safety, to include the issues of sexual predators, “sexting”, bullying, and other immoral uses of the internet at 7:00 pm in the auditorium. In an almost purposeful way, people have been discouraged from making their own clothing. Logic seems to have become an undesirable trait of personality. Some people are asked by their employers to change their name by 1997. Historical Accounts 1971: 23 The height of the buildings of the World Trade Center, are completed on July 19. An earthquake in Turkey kills more than one thousand people on May 22. On August 15, President Nixon freezes wages, prices, and rents for 90 days. A cyclone in India kills over ten thousand people on September 29. NASA astronauts ride in a lunar rover. Remarks: The tallest buildings in the world as of this date are constructed. The government intervenes with personal livelihoods. Two astronauts are the first to drive a vehicle on the Moon. 1972 In March and during lunch time, students were informed of a horrific accident and tragedy occurring in the area of my residence at a railroad crossing where a train hit a school bus. Five high school students died in the crash and forty four other students were physically injured, some seriously, requiring the amputations of limbs and other permanent injuries. The railroad crossing did not have gates installed on 45 either side of the road but did display a standard stop and go railroad sign. The driver, who was apparently behind schedule stated that he did not hear the train nor did he see the stop light. In addition to the school bus driving job, the bus driver was also employed full time at another job. After arriving home from school this day, I was invited to view the accident scene but declined this invitation believing that I would be overwhelmed emotionally. Mother and father for the first time announced to brother and I, that they would be vacationing by themselves. I felt insulted and annoyed and asked them the reason for being left out of this trip. They stated that they received a good off season rate through a travel agent, which would be considerably higher during school vacation time. Mother informed me that uncle, aunt, and their infant daughter would be spending the week with brother and I. I half understood their reason for vacationing without us and was happy that my uncle and his family would be caring for brother and me during their trip. On parents return, many souvenirs were given and mother provided us with the specifics of their wonderful vacation on the island of Jamaica and stated that the entire family would be returning there next year as they felt twinges of guilt, vacationing by themselves. High school, beginning in early September was thwarted by at least three bomb scares during the first week of school attendance requiring all students to vacate the school buildings while all areas were checked for incendiary devices by outside authorities. These “bomb scares” were becoming commonplace beginning in junior high school through the early years of high school and caused significant anxieties and disruptions to student studies. I remember wondering at that time if there was a way to trace the telephone calls of those individuals responsible for calling in these threats. I began to spend increased time with school friends who lived in the neighborhood and other friends who lived outside of the neighborhood which required some taxiing on the part of parents. The nature of our friendship interests changed from being based on mostly outdoor activities to indoor activities. We paid visits to a shopping mall, attended movies, listened to music, and talked confidentially to each other about peers we liked and disliked. We did however and on occasion organize hikes through wooded areas. It was about at this time that I became aware of an increasing number of people who were suffering from allergies. Mother often stated that the culprit of these new illnesses was the contemporary idea of flooring one’s home with “wall to wall” carpeting. Even after vacuuming, these carpets are never completely clean. Dirt remains at the bottom of the carpet that vacuums cannot capture. This dirt resurfaces and becomes airborne causing an eventual allergic reaction in some people. In the past, outside carpet cleaning companies would be hired on occasion to steam clean carpets however, unless done quite regularly sensitive people still experienced the misery of allergies. While browsing at the mall one afternoon, I wandered into a pet shop and saw the most magnificent fantail guppies. I purchased a few pairs of these fish and began another new hobby of raising fantail guppies. At one point, I had at least one hundred of these fish in two fish tanks and a breeder tank. It 46 was interesting and an enjoyment for me to see all the different variations of color produced through breeding, on the large tails of the male guppies. This summer, the family vacationed in a town alongside the New Jersey shoreline. The days were spent at the beach and for some of the evenings we decided to stroll on the boardwalk. Alongside the boardwalk were rides of amusement, food kiosks, small stores selling for example beach souvenirs, beach attire, and play clothes. Also alongside the boardwalk were various booths of games of chance and skill. Some of the prizes given at many booths were tee shirts. For the first time I viewed shirts containing designs and messages of extreme vulgarity, rudeness, and outrageous pornography. I was in further disbelief to see people actually wearing these shirts. For examples, one tee shirt worn depicted two animated pigs copulating with the message “Makin Bacon”. Another shirt I recalled seeing showed a finger pointing to the left or right with the message “I’m with stupid”. Would people in a sane society produce or wear shirts such as these? Retrospective: Fatigue caused by over working combined with a sense of hurriedness has resulted in many accidents. For a few years there seemed to be attacks by some individuals against the educational system. However, in retrospect, I recall being told by school authority that these frequent bomb scares were a way to protest against the Vietnam War. Even then, I failed to understand this reasoning. I thought why would people target children in schools to protest a war? Most children and young adults were unaware of invasions of personal privacy launched against law abiding ordinary citizens. Perhaps even then, children’s future careers and health were being handicapped do to an ignorant ease of conversation with parents and friends. A word of slang is used to describe this situation, it is called “blacklisting”. In my observation, 1972 marked the beginning of the mass production of vulgar and immoral clothing that was targeted against certain groups within the population. Historical Accounts 1972: 24 An earthquake in Iran kills about five thousand people on April 10. In May, the Burundian Genocide begins. More than five hundred thousand people are murdered. The State of New York rescinds its abortion law however the governor vetoes the repeal on May 13. 25 The Watergate scandal begins in June. A powerful earthquake kills approximately five thousand people in Nicaragua on December 23. A wave of terrorist activity is prevalent throughout the world. The first hand held calculators are available for sale. NASA launches Apollo 17 with a last Moon walk mission. 47 Remarks: The first hand held calculators make their market debut. Eventually, most people rely on these for arithmetic computations leading to an inability by some to do simple calculations. When possible try to add, subtract, multiply, and divide without using this computer, so as not to lose these skills. Eavesdropping devices are discovered in government offices leading to an extensive televised inquiry into this circumstance. President Nixon eventually resigns due to this scandal. There is a significant increase in worldwide acts of terrorism this year. NASA concludes the Apollo program with a last walk on the Moon 1973 As promised the previous year, mother arranged a trip to Jamaica to include the whole family. I was excited about this vacation but at the same time experienced a sense of trepidation regarding the airplane ride and the visit due to mixed expectations based on some information provided about this country. We arrived in Montego Bay where I was astonished at the small size of the airport however I immediately felt at ease because it was simple to find one’s way around the airport. My parents hired a taxi to take us to our place of vacation in Ocho Rios. Along the way I began to view many situations of abject poverty that dampened my enthusiasm for this trip. During our stay, we enjoyed the general hospitality of the people, viewed beautiful underwater coral reefs through snorkeling adventures, an impressive waterfall was visited, a plantation tour was taken, and a White River raft ride was pleasant. One day while snorkeling, two young men approached me and asked if I would like to learn to water ski. I replied that I would and asked father for the money to participate in this activity. I paid the men and they gave me two skis to attach to my feet, one ski was longer than the other ski. Objecting to this mismatched equipment, I was assured by them of its functionality. I held on to the tow line as their boat picked up speed and tried to pull myself up out of the water. At the same time, the boat bowed out but the long tow line still remained straight. Looking several feet ahead, I saw a large coral reef just below the surface of the water. Quickly releasing the line, I realized how dangerously close I was to being dragged over a reef. I noticed that many of the school children in Jamaica attended Catholic school. Contrary to this, there were others who practiced the occult voodoo and some combined occult voodoo with Christianity. A return to the following of the Ten Commandments, avoidance of Capital Sins, and Abominations would eliminate evil from within the society, probably resulting in a noticeable increased prosperity for the people, among other positive developments. Beginning in high school, one realized that the fluorescent lighting in the classrooms seemed to have an adverse effect on my ability to think, focus, and concentrate on lessons. This became apparent to me after leaving the classroom when I believed myself to be restored to “normal”. Later and by 2002 and with internet access, one discovered that fluorescent bulbs contain mercury and are extremely dangerous if broken. In addition, a unique type of radiation is emitted from fluorescent light bulbs. It is suggested that one researches the dangers of fluorescent lights on the internet for further information. Tenth grade biology was marked with students dissecting a fetal pig. I thought this requirement of the course was gross and remarked to the teacher that the pig reminded me of a baby. I recall that the 48 biology textbook provided about two paragraphs that discussed creationism, which were not based on any known facts, and so was unbelievable to most students. A section shown in the textbook, on embryonic development compared the developing human being to a developing lizard and developing chicken. The three illustrations shown appeared very similar. A chapter read in health class discussed human sexuality, venereal diseases, birth control, and abortion, of which the last was briefly addressed as being an individual moral choice and issue. The birth control pill was cited as the most effective form of birth control. No mention was made of its abortifacient nature. As the teacher discussed, taught, and questioned students on this material, there was a marked change in the class behavior. Student’s began “goofing off” and became quite disruptive sometimes throwing balls of paper around the room. Through this instruction, I became aware of the venereal diseases of syphilis, gonorrhea, genital warts, and herpes where the last two conditions which are not as serious as the first two if left untreated, are however chronic for life with no cure. These diseases combined with an anxiety of pregnancy at an inopportune time of my life contributed and/or prevented me from becoming promiscuous. As far as I was concerned, it was not logical to risk the above circumstances that could result from promiscuous behavior. Later and by the year 2000, apparently over eighty different venereal diseases had surfaced in addition to the possibly devastating HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) that sometimes leads to the deadly AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) conditions that were discovered in the early 1980’s. Yet and unbelievably promiscuous behavior continued at a brisk pace in the population of people and was beginning at younger ages to include pre-teens through to the year 2013, leading one to believe that mind control is likely a factor of these absurd and dangerous circumstances. During this year, we began to read various renowned novels. Some of these books were perverted and disturbing. Perhaps one reason for reading these books was to psychologically examine and interpret some kinds of human behavior, as this was discussed in depth in class. We read “Lord of the Flies”, “1984”, “Animal Farm” and “Hiroshima” for some examples. I became uninterested in reading anymore of these kinds of books, and so used comic books that provided a shortened highlighted version of the story or relied on “Cliffs Notes” to complete assignments. At about this time, it was discovered by me that the teacher’s union, The United Federation of Teachers and possibly to also include the American Federation of Teachers, supported abortion policies. I was aghast at this media revealed revelation and presented the question to mother and father that “Why would teachers who are suppose to like children based on their job selection, support and agree with the murdering of children?” The oil embargo beginning this year created much aggravation for mother and father. Supplies of gasoline were greatly reduced by OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) apparently to protest the sales of weapons to Israel, for the Yom Kippur war. In the United States, people could only procure gasoline for their vehicle on a weekday and had to follow an odd/even system based on the day and the license plate number of their vehicle. Father would arise before dawn on his designated days to 49 fuel his car at a local gasoline station only to find a long line already established, prior to daybreak. Sometimes the station ran out of gas and those waiting on line, sometimes for hours, were dismissed. As many would surmise, fighting and arguing were also prevalent. Father was also given the task of fueling mother’s car. In the neighborhood, people were being robbed of gasoline during the night time through siphoning. Mother and father then purchased gasoline caps with locks. In addition to the above aggravation, there were also shortages of certain products including sugar, coffee, Tuna fish, bread, and toilet tissue which required mother to purchase large quantities of these items when found available in stores. Later in the 1970’s, there was a water shortage where restaurants were required to stop serving water to customers unless water was specifically requested. During World War II, there was a vegetable oil shortage. Mother had discovered a recipe for apple fritters that our family much enjoyed. We raved about how delicious this food was and so mother made these apple fritters on a frequent basis. After weeks of eating apple fritters, I however began to tire of eating this same food regularly. Politely and with consideration for mother, I decided to keep this thought to myself. A short time later when apple fritters were served again, father noticed carpet nails in his apple fritter. Bellowing, he told everyone not to eat these apple fritters and inquired of mother on how these carpet nails came to be in the fritters. Mother had no idea until she searched a bag of flour stored under an all purpose kitchen drawer that contained some hardware items. The bag of flour contained many carpet nails that apparently spilled from the top drawer into the bag of flour used in the recipe for the apple fritters. After being attacked by the family for this inattentiveness, mother never prepared apple fritters again. Retrospective: Countries that promote tourism as a main source of income usually are blessed with beautiful natural resources. These countries should realize that a considerable number of potential visitors may not want to visit a country where many of the native people live in poverty. Vacations are to have a good time and relax, not to get depressed over the plight of people living in the country. A fair and intellectual discussion on creationism is most times not offered in secular school textbooks. Abortion is not an individual moral issue. Abortion harms everyone in the society. The truth was not provided to students regarding the birth control pill. This method and other methods of birth control (refer to the commentary on Abortion), can cause early abortion subjecting people to a wrath of God specifically lodged against the individual and the society. Some people feel uncomfortable discussing private, personal matters with other people of general acquaintance therefore causing perhaps, rebellious behavior. The reading of perverted and other immoral books influences people in a detrimental way. The interpreting of many books was a priority in schools and in media reviews of literature during this era, while The Bible was largely ignored and if read or mentioned, was left without interpretation by most readers. As many people protested the approval of abortion in the United States, evil doers in positions of power and authority created various hardships for people that resulted in the population once again, agreeing to accept more evil in their lives. Preoccupations with societal immoralities resulting in frequent problems cause people to become inattentive to tasks at hand likely resulting in more frequent accidents, satisfying an agenda of evil to inflict harm on people. 50 Historical Accounts 1973: 26 The Supreme Court approves abortion for the United States on January 22. 27 The Vietnam War officially ends on January 27. The first cellular telephone call is accomplished on April 3. The World Trade Center officially opens on April 4, as the world’s tallest building. The Sears Tower becomes the world’s tallest building on May 3. NASA launches Mariner 10, the first space probe to reach Mercury. Remarks: Abortion is approved throughout all nine months of pregnancy in the United States. Citing The National Right to Life’s “Abortion History Timeline” it is stated on January 22, 1973 that “The Supreme Court issues its ruling in Roe v. Wade, finding that a “right to privacy” it had earlier discovered was “broad enough to encompass” a right to abortion…”. All should recognize that the “right to privacy” in other words, Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s house (Commandment X), negated these similar laws of God and government with the approval of abortion (to include abortifacient substances first approved of and introduced into the market by the United States government’s approval in 1960). So through societal acceptance, engagement in, and approval of abortion, evil doers were granted the ability by Satan to enter with impunity another’s private domain. A war fought for nineteen and one half years finally ends. The World Trade Center’s “Twin Towers”, the tallest buildings in the world open. A short time later, the Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois becomes the tallest world building. There is an economic downturn likely related to the protesting of abortion approval. NASA’s Mariner 10 gathers atmospheric information on the planet Mercury. 1974 During my forty years of movie viewing, I walked out of the theater during only one movie “2001 A Space Odyssey” due to becoming disturbed after viewing a baby in a large test tube. I also fell asleep during only one movie “Independence Day” apparently tired of all the movie violence and creatures from outer space. Movies viewed at about this time were The Exorcist, Carrie, and The Amityville Horror. The first movie, The Exorcist was released in 1973. I recall attending the theater with two girl friends. As this was the first movie we had ever viewed of this occult nature it appeared that not only I, but my friends were dumbfounded while exiting the theater at the end of the movie. All of us stated that the movie was weird and anxiety producing. We promptly changed the subject and went to a fast food restaurant for a late evening snack. The book, Carrie published in 1974 which later became a movie in 1976, was also the story of a possessed girl. At the time, I thought this movie to be complete nonsense, bizarre, and second rate as far as the acting was concerned. The final rejection of most Hollywood movies, including movies containing much violence, such as the “Dirty Harry” and Mafia movies including the “Godfather” series movies culminated for me with “The Amityville Horror”, showing in 51 theaters in 1979 which was a story about a haunted residence. At some point during the second half of the 1970’s, I tried to dissuade friends from going to the movies, suggesting alternatives. Sometimes I was successful in changing their minds but usually I was not. As far as I was concerned, going to the movies to be terrified was not an enjoyable leisure activity. Therefore, I made my own decision to decline some invitations by friends to view a movie that I did not want to see. Beginning in the early 1970’s, consumer product companies began marketing deodorants that prevented perspiration. Discussing these new products with family, mother stated that it is unhealthy to prevent the natural perspiring of the body because through perspiration, the body cools down and toxins are released. This information can be verified today on the internet. Perhaps some illnesses experienced by people are related to the removal of the ability of the body to perspire naturally. Also and since the 1990’s, other products have widely been marketed to whiten teeth. One has noticed that people who regularly use these products have teeth that have become to a degree translucent (removal of tooth enamel) possibly caused by the bleaching agents contained in the tooth whitener which can result in various dental problems. Throughout the years of junior high school and high school increasing observations of affection were displayed by some students attending school to include passionate kissing, caressing, and amorous embracing in the hallways of the school. One thought these kinds of private emotions made public to be disgraceful, raunchy, and embarrassing to the participants as well as to the observers. The curriculum for social studies this year was the study of American History. I recall liking the textbook, as it was well organized and followed a clear chronological presentation of events. It was an easy to understand general history book beginning with the history of the early years of the inception of the United States and ended with the war in Vietnam. The class progressed through the book at a moderate pace until reaching the Civil War. It seemed as though months were spent on the Civil War with still having about half of the book to complete. Finally, near the end of the school year we began to read and study about the events leading to World War I, only to have school end a couple of weeks later. Beginning in the early teenage years, one began to recognize and was taught that the societal expectation is that one should “wear many hats”. Throughout schooling it was learned that constant adjustments of personality were necessary to be successful in one’s life. For examples, behavioral, intellectual, and physical changes were considered necessary to compete academically, in ones job, in sports, with one’s spouse, with one’s children, with one’s associates, with one’s friends, with one’s family and while shopping to list several “hats”. Thought should be given to this relatively modern psychological concept because one innately suspects that the “wearing of many hats” contributes to various stresses in one’s life as well as varying degrees of mental illnesses and perhaps could lead to insanity. Logically it makes sense that one should be basically the same person in all endeavors and situations. Therefore the promoting by evildoers in the society to “wear many hats” is a “survival of the fittest mentality” and is evil in intent. Akin to this philosophy, one has noted that some political representatives and some others in the “professions” tout an extraordinary listing of credentials. One 52 often has thought throughout the years while reading the long lists of an individual’s credentials to include high positions in many associations, that it is not humanly possible for one person to participate in so many activities and situations. Later one began to realize that perhaps a network of corruption enters into this picture to obtain certain job positions by well connected and specific groups of people living within the society, possibly to fulfill the evil goals of a larger group. A family member began objecting to various immoralities to town and school officials to no avail, as no positive moral changes in policies and procedures were evident. The family member then decided to write a poignant letter to the United Nations discussing areas of vital moral concern regarding national and world societies. Shortly after writing this letter, the family member and spouse were audited by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) creating turmoil and anxieties to the couple until the audit was concluded. In the autumn of this year, I procured my first “official” job at a pharmacy/department store. Prior to this job I earned money through babysitting and an allowance given to me by mother for cleaning the downstairs of the house. At this new employment, I was trained on the operation of the cash register. Later, I was assigned to the department of tobacco and photograph development. I enjoyed working in this area and especially liked the aroma of all the various pipe tobaccos. I suggested to father, that he might want to smoke a pipe. He playfully agreed and so I bought him a corncob pipe and a bag of cherry tobacco. We all laughed to observe father smoking a pipe and realized that this habit was not befitting of him. About a year and one half later while assisting at a front register, two men approached me asking to change a twenty dollar bill for a poker game. Then they asked for more change and more change. I suddenly realized that there was much less money in the cash register drawer. Subtly, I summoned a store manager to the register. While quickly explaining what had transpired, the doors to the store were locked and the police contacted resulting in the arrest of these two men for engaging in what is commonly known as “flim-flamming”. I was reprimanded for “making change”, and soon after left this job partly due to a sense of guilt and embarrassment over this incident. On my birthday, I took the test for a drivers learning permit. Father taught me the skill of driving. As part of the requirement to obtain a drivers license, an instructional film on driving had to be viewed. One recommendation expounded in this film was never to tailgate as many accidents are caused due to this behavior. I have always tried to adhere to this bit of advice and believed it has saved me from accidents. I failed my first driving test because of a poor performance in parallel parking that was largely due to nervous anxiety. Waiting another six weeks, I retook the test passing the second time. Father sold me his car for a slightly discounted price off of book value. By the beginning of 1975, I was driving my own car. To gain experience for a desired nursing career and help people at the same time, I volunteered first as an unpaid ambulance corps youth member and later as an unpaid volunteer in the escort department of a local hospital. This job involved transporting people by wheelchair into and out of the hospital. I would chat with the patients and try to relieve their anxiety regarding health concerns and the hospital 53 environment. I was hoping to obtain a volunteer position as a candy striper, delivering reading material and snacks to patients in a cheerful way, but this volunteer position was eliminated some years prior. During the latter half of the 1970’s a “new” method of giving birth to a child was promoted by media sources to women as a less painful and a more natural way to deliver a baby. This method of childbirth was to give birth in a pool of water. Magazines illustrated infants floating underwater in pools after being newly born. After viewing these pictorials I stated to mother that it is likely that infections to both mother and child are more easily transmitted and acquired through this contained aquatic environment. One also believed that perhaps through momentary inattentiveness, the infant could drown. At about this time, I began attending “discos” with peers. As the admittance age was eighteen years old or older, false identification was needed to participate. Driver’s licenses at that time did not contain a photograph identification, so all that was necessary was to find an eighteen year old or older who matched one’s description in gender, approximate age, height, and eye color and borrow their license. The vast majority of students in school were not involved with drugs. There was a small group of students in a class of over five hundred who were easily identified by their attire, grooming, and unkempt appearance that most knew to be involved with marijuana and other drugs. This percentage of students involved with drugs, drastically increased by the time my children were to attend the same school twenty five years later. During the middle 1970’s alcohol, especially beer and wine were the desired contraband of consumption. For summer vacation, it was decided by a girl friend and I that we would approach our parents about spending a week at the New Jersey shore. After considerable nagging, our parents granted permission for this trip provided we take the bus. An aunt of mine suggested a place to stay where she knew the owners of a small motel. This trip was somewhat dampened however, by a red tide that prevented us from bathing in the ocean. An abundance of jellyfish of many varieties, including Portuguese Man O’ War also prevailed in this disgusting mixture. Retrospective: The idea behind popular movies for young people like the Exorcist or Carrie was perhaps to influence people into believing that they were possessed. Carrie went a step further by suggesting that a person could will things to happen. Most young people were deprived of a Biblically based moral education and some instead believed in ESP (extra sensory perception) and a sixth sense. Those individuals may have been subjected to a strong, evil occult influence. Fortunately, most people at that time viewed these films as “hogwash” and a Hollywood, make believe tale. Later in the decade, movies such as the Amityville Horror and television shows on haunted houses suggested that houses became haunted, based on some evil that previously transpired in a house. These suggestions possibly lead some people into cursing a house, for all kinds of reasons. In an evil society, where God is deposed and Satan rules, evil and immoral others assume control of most aspects of society including private homes. A return to the following of The Ten Commandments, avoiding Capital Sins, and Abominations is necessary to restore society to good. Perhaps a reason for not finishing the American history textbook was to avoid uncomfortable questions by students. The results of the instruction and promotion of the 54 necessity to “wear many hats” in the society lead to various mental illnesses some of which were described in two popular books of this time titled “The Three Faces of Eve” and “Sybil”. “The Three Faces of Eve” was a nonfiction book written in 1957 that portrayed a woman with three distinct and separate personalities which were identified and diagnosed by those in the psychology disciplines as “Dissociative Identity Disorder”. By the 1970’s and beyond, this mental malady also known as “Multiple Personality Disorder” became more severe likely affecting a greater number of people. A true story of a woman with sixteen distinct personalities was written about in the book “Sybil” published in 1973. In 2013, an investigation into the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) targeting “conservative groups” was revealed in the media as a relatively new phenomenon as was cited in articles regarding a recently formed “moral group” (The Tea Party), who were being subjected to financial audits. As one can note through an above paragraph, moral and religious people who speak and write about the need for moral and religious change in the society, have been targeted and persecuted for decades by the governmental tax collecting agency of the IRS. So, all should understand, that this harassment by the IRS directed towards moral and/or religious people and groups which is recently being investigated, is not a new development. Movies influence people to engage in many kinds of behavior, both good and bad. The movie “Paper Moon” was released at about the time of my experience with “flim-flam , which is a clever way to steal. By the 1990’s many children were no longer or could no longer (mind control?) assist their parents with household tasks and chores such as cleaning the home or mowing the lawn whether being paid a weekly allowance or not. Car ownership represented freedom for me, as I could mostly come and go as I pleased. Precise dancing became a priority for many young people. The use of drugs both illegal and prescription became more and more prevalent as the society continued its downward spiral into a society devoid of the God represented in the Bible. Today it is stated that red tides and an over abundance of jellyfish are not caused by pollution. In the 1970’s it was well documented that the above, was caused by sewerage, phosphates, and other pollutants. Historical Accounts 1974: 28 The first bar code is scanned on a package of Wrigley’s chewing gum on June 26. A purported closer human ancestor is found on November 22, named Australopithecus afarensis. Scientists name the skeleton Lucy. Darwin, Australia is mostly destroyed by a cyclone on December 24-25. Terrorists continue lethal attacks against the public. West Germany beats The Netherlands to win the world soccer cup. Remarks: Computers begin to assume a larger role in daily living. Lucy is reported to be the oldest human ancestor found which basically reiterated a similar story from 1959. Perhaps the publicity surrounding this discovery was also used to promote and suggest to a new generation the deposing of God. 55 1975 Sometime during one’s years of high school attendance, taxpayers residing in the area became increasing disgruntled with their ever increasing school tax bill. So one year when the annual school budget was presented to the people for a “vote” to approve or disapprove the budget, the people “voted” against additional school tax increases. A few revisions were made to the budget by the school district but still the budget was defeated. In September, when school began for the next year, one noted that it appeared that all of the administrators and teachers were still employed at the school. However, the janitorial staff was greatly reduced resulting in the school becoming very dirty. I stated to mother and father that the school was becoming a “pigsty” because the school budget was defeated by the voters. One then began to recognize a system where the lower paid workers were dismissed to create a hardship for the students and parents while the higher paid workers remained in their jobs. This strategy employed over the years, resulted in the “voter” approval of most school budgets. In the late spring of this year, two girl friends and I decided not to attend school and drive to the New Jersey shore instead. We convinced our parents that no new school curriculum was being presented, as the school year was coming to a close. Basically, the days at the end of the school year were spent in reviewing material for final exams that my friends and I believed that we already knew. Leaving early on a bright sunny clear day in June, I drove with two friends seated in the front seat of the car, listening to music played on an eight track tape player, to a beach area along the New Jersey coastline. On that day, I felt that life could not become much better. We enjoyed our day at the beach and drove toward home stopping along the way for dinner. During dinner one friend suggested that we take a small detour to view the church where she attended mass and participated as a member in youth activities. This girl was a Mormon who spoke frequently of that religion and the certain practices connected to Mormonism. On our way to view the Church, a driver did not see a stop sign and so drove within several feet of my car not allowing me enough time to stop my vehicle. My car collided with this car resulting in an accident with visible physical injuries to my friends. One girl’s leg was cut by the tape player and the other girl’s head struck the windshield, resulting in a bump on her head. I sustained unapparent injuries to my neck and back. An ambulance was summoned to bring my two friends to the hospital. I asked about the passengers of the other car and was told that they were an elderly couple, and that the wife on the passenger side of the car suffered a non-specified injury. Mother and father arrived at the scene and drove me home. Fortunately, no one appeared to be seriously injured. I had a sense of guilt over this incident and thought perhaps that God was punishing me for not attending school that day and for participating in boisterous behavior. My car was out of commission for about two months during the investigation and repair process. After this accident, the car was always mechanical trouble. A friend became involved in a dangerous activity unbeknownst to the friends parents. One advised this friend to quit this pursuit, citing the possibility of serious injury or death should an error occur. The friend cited to me “back up” safety measures and exclaimed that the friend would continue to participate in the activity. Discussing this situation with mother, I stated that one was undecided about whether or not to inform the friends’ parents about this friends’ engagement in this dangerous activity because the friends’ parents used corporal punishment to discipline this teenager, instead of other less physically painful measures. So, one decided not to inform the friends’ parents because of their method 56 of disciplining. At the same time, I was hoping not to be informed when the friend planned to repeat an engagement in the dangerous activity and if one was informed, I hoped that the friend would not be injured or killed. Another girl that I became friendly with through an association with a high school ski club was of an enthusiastic, vibrant, and outgoing personality. Together we looked forward to weekend day ski trips to nearby skiing centers. Both of us were novice skiers so we became companions on the various beginners slopes offered by the ski centers. Over a short time period, we believed ourselves to be accomplished enough to advance to the intermediate ski slopes. After descending from these more challenging slopes only a few times, the girl stated that she was advancing to the professional ski slope. I advised her against this idea believing the slope to be too dangerous for our level of skill. Disregarding this advice, she ascended the advanced ski slope. A short time later I was concerned to see that she was brought down the slope on a stretcher by a rescue team after breaking her leg. Mother reported to us that an acquaintance was adopting from an orphanage a bi-racial child from Vietnam who was the child of a Vietnamese woman and an American serviceman. Mother further commented that many of these bi-racial children born during the Vietnam War were orphaned because of the ostracism experienced by many of the Vietnamese women who gave birth to mixed race and possibly the enemy’s child (North Vietnam). Mother suggested the idea that we too adopt a bi-racial child from Vietnam. I was happily excited about this idea and offered any assistance needed. However upon further discussion, mother and father decided against pursuing this contemplated adoption partially due to their job related time constraints. During this year, I suffered from some health problems that were real, but perhaps brought on by a degree of hypochondria which lead to becoming self absorbed due to various physical ailments and symptoms. Physicians could not identify any particular causes for my illness. At this time, I decided to attend Catholic mass regularly on Sundays. I attended several masses but felt self conscious as I attended mass alone. There is also a part of the Catholic mass where it is expected that people turn to one another and say “Peace be with you” that is offered through a handshake. My last visit to mass during this period of my life was when I extended my hand to say “Peace be with you”, to a person in the vicinity, who was shaking hands with someone else. This was an uncomfortable and humiliating experience for me and so, I felt anxiety about attending mass and quit this requirement of a Commandment. The high school curriculum I was registered for was termed the “academic track” which was a curriculum of required specified courses of study to be enrolled in, based on a student’s decision to attend college. I struggled through four years of mathematics courses including introduction to algebra, algebra, intermediate algebra, and geometry. Walking through the school hallway with a school friend one day, I could not help but notice a math grade on an exam that she had recently taken. The grade was in the nineties and so I congratulated her on this excellent score. Looking at the problems on this test, I realized that I could easily solve these problems. The course was a general math course that was 57 not part of the “college track” program. Later when I applied to some colleges for possible admittance, I realized that a person’s overall cumulative high school grade point average was most important concerning the four major subject areas and not the decreed difficulty of the courses taken. One evening I discussed plans with father to go to a nearby disco with a friend. Father stated that 10:00 pm was late to go out and that I should stay home. I remarked that my friend was already on the way to our home and we were going out but would be home by a 1:30am curfew. Father stated that he advised against me going to this disco, but we proceeded anyway. I enjoyed discos for the dancing and socialization and these establishments provided me with an alternative to viewing bad movies. We left the disco that night to find that my car was nowhere in the parking area. I began to panic, believing my car to be stolen. I could not call the police because I was underage for this disco activity and it was illegal for a sixteen year old to be driving at night unless it was for employment reasons. I telephoned home and explained this situation to father, who did not seem very concerned. He drove to the disco to bring us home. On the drive home, he seemed aloof and a bit jovial as I was upset and ranting about my “stolen” vehicle. When we entered the driveway of home there was my parked car. Father and mother had driven to the disco with a spare set of keys and drove the car home. I thought father was wrong as he should have stated definitely that I was not permitted to go out that evening. Much later, I realized with my own teenagers, that due to evil forces within the society, parents lose much authority over their children that may necessitate the reliance on sometimes complicated and damaging psychological punishments or no punishments, rather than on emotionally inspired truthful confrontations as would be expected in a good, moral society. This year, I had an engaging and enthusiastic teacher for the subject areas of sociology and anthropology. In the sociology half of the course, I recall viewing a popular film about Eskimos involving a Caucasian sociologist who researched and spent time living among this group of people. An aspect of Eskimo society depicted in the film was the sharing of wives between these people, to promote friendship relationships. I recognized this practice to be adultery and could not understand how the society could function normally under these arrangements. At the same time, some students in the class thought this to be an interesting idea worth pursuing. The study of anthropology was largely based on the evolution of man. The teacher advised the class repeatedly however, that there were gaps in the evolutionary theory. Occasionally, a teacher would be absent from school, requiring a substitute teacher to be assigned for the day. The behavior of some students in class became horrendous under the authority of the substitute teacher. Some students tried to unnerve the teacher in as many ways as possible. I empathized with the substitute teacher’s predicament and later thought that perhaps a review test to consume the entire class period, should be made available for a substitute teacher to administer to students in a classroom, where an assigned teacher is absent for one day. Retrospective: Teenagers are permitted to view violent and other movies of gross immorality but are not permitted in a disco until eighteen years of age. I graduated high school with a cumulative grade 58 point average (GPA), which was in the middle of a class of over five hundred students. Mathematics brought my average down considerably. If I had registered for general mathematics courses in high school, I would have done well, which would have resulted in a substantial increase in my GPA (grade point average). A university that I wanted to attend rejected me due to their requirement of a higher GPA. As the courses taken were not specifically cited by this university, I was under the impression that GPA counted more towards admission than the difficulty of courses. In other words, I was sorry that I had not enrolled in general math courses in high school. A university staff member suggested that I first attend a community college to raise my GPA and then transfer the credits to attend this university of my choice. This advice was followed. In a secularized society where children are deprived of Bible study in the schools, various immoralities read about in books and shown through films may appeal to some students thus resulting in the individual becoming involved in the immorality portrayed. After enrolling in three algebra courses, I could still not find the value of X. Historical Accounts 1975: 29 In January the first small computer is available for sale named the Altair 8800. An earthquake in China on February 4 kills approximately thirteen hundred people. United States military Operation Babylift crashes moments after takeoff on April 4. India is declared in state of emergency by Prime Minister Indira Gandi on June 25. A dam collapses in China on August 8, killing approximately one hundred seventy one thousand people. An earthquake in Turkey kills approximately two thousand three hundred people on September 6. Kidnappings, bombings, and assassinations are prevalent. NASA begins the Viking program with a launch to Mars. Remarks: Final airplane flights to evacuate some people from South Vietnam before the control of Saigon is turned over to North Vietnamese results in this one disaster. Internal strife in India results in the suspension of the democratic process. An extraordinary amount of rainfall results in the worst dam collapse in history. Earthquakes kill many in two countries. 1976 Father would sometimes speak of people he encountered who annoyed him as they knew something about every subject matter but did not know enough about any one subject area to be an expert in one field of work or profession. He would remark to mother, brother, and I that this kind of person was a “ham and egger”. Mother would restate this phrase as a “Jack of all trades and a master of none”. I often thought that this was the kind of person that I would like to be, as I could intelligently converse with many people, from all walks of life and professions. 59 A family member invented a helpful and useful tool for the construction industry. The family member believed that this time saving device would be a popular item to purchase by tradesmen and so he sent the plans he had drawn for this invention to the government’s patent office. After approximately a six month waiting period, a patent number was finally issued for this invention. Shortly after receiving the patent number, the family member noticed in a construction industry supply store the same apparatus for sale that he had invented. Upon further scrutiny of the device, the family member detected a small modification to his design. I worked part time at a department store where I was assigned as a sales clerk to men’s apparel. This position required one to assist customers, restock merchandise, place orders with manufacturers, price label merchandise, tidy the department, merchandise the apparel to appeal to customers, and organize the merchandise for special sales and promotions. I liked this job and enjoyed working with the other clerks assigned to this department. Leisure suits were a popular ensemble during this era and sold very well. Suddenly and abruptly leisure suits crashed leaving the store with huge inventories to mark down to an extremely low price. Still the leisure suits did not sell requiring the store manager to discard these suits. The suits were cut and thrown in a dumpster. I was disturbed by this action of waste and suggested that the suits be donated to charity. The reply was that charitable donations are returned to the store by some unscrupulous and corrupt individuals for a refund of money or store credit. Driving home from work one night in December, a car in front of me drove off the road and slightly up onto an embankment, knocking a few large boulders onto the roadway. The car returned to the roadway with a driver who continued to drive erratically. I was annoyed as I thought that I might have hit these boulders with my car. Additionally, I thought the driver to be under the influence of alcohol. Driving around the boulders knocked onto the road, I decided to obtain the license plate number of the car. I followed this car into a neighborhood off of this main road and made note of the license plate along with the neighborhood where this person lived. Upon returning home, I telephoned the police department with the above story and the license plate number of the car involved. I was told that the license plate number obtained was not a valid number. Through personal investigation, I discovered that a prominent town official was the owner of this vehicle. Mother had approached me with information that she obtained regarding weekend dances held at the prestigious military academy that we frequently visited when I was a child. The sister college to the academy was closing its doors for unknown reasons, that removed this possibility for my college attendance. Mother further informed me that invitations from the academy were extended to girls from the community who were interested in attending these weekend dances. I asked three girl friends if they would be interested in attending this social gathering. They said they would like to go and so we attended several of these gatherings at the military academy. These dances however, were held for freshman only. No upper class cadets attended this event and I was more interested in meeting an older group of young men. Also, I sensed that the freshman were not really interested in establishing any relationships due to the stringent requirements of school. Believing that I was wasting my time, I ceased to attend these social events however my friends continued to attend these functions. 60 The second half of the decade of the 1970’s ushered in the concept of the “ideal woman”. Included in this concept was the notion that women should be thin with little regard to bone structure and metabolism. The media heavily promoted this concept to the society resulting in many women and teenage girls becoming ill with anorexia, bulimia, and other illnesses including physical, mental, and intellectual deficiencies due to malnutrition. A significant number of women have also died throughout the following three and one half decades because of the societal promotion of this immorality. In addition, and by the 1980’s this concept was expanded by influential media and remedial specialists to include babies and young children which has resulted in illnesses and deaths to these members of society. Parents should apportion plenty of extra time to feed their children nutritiously to prevent the above calamities and to counter the attacks by evil against their family. Senior high school year consisted of one social event after another that led me to have a sense of frustration due to the lack of accomplishment. It was time for me to move on. At the same time, I sensed that I was losing some of my intelligence by attending these constant picnics and parties. Therefore, I applied for and was accepted as a part time early admittance student at a local community college. I attended high school during the day and college classes three times a week in the evenings. I always procured good grades in high school English and social studies so my parents and I were in disbelief when I obtained a failing grade in English during mid-term. Four years of high school English were needed to graduate. For some unknown reason (as I was always well behaved in class), a personality clash between the teacher and I was determined to be the reason for this failure. When it became known that I procured a good grade in college English, I passed high school English. However, my high school GPA score was affected by this low passing grade. After leaving a classroom one day and arriving at another scheduled class, I realized that I had inadvertently left my pocketbook hanging by its shoulder strap on the back of a chair in the previous classroom. I asked permission to retrieve my purse but was told to wait until the end of class. After that class ended, I hurried back to the classroom for my purse. It was gone. I was upset by this as important identification documents and other necessities such as my car keys were contained in this pocketbook. At the end of the school day, I noticed a girl who I was cordially acquainted with walking out of the school with my purse. I stopped her and asked her what she was doing with my purse. She said that it was her purse and that people do buy the same style purse. Scuffs on the purse made this pocketbook recognizable as mine, so I took it back and reported this theft to a school administrator. He verbally scolded her and let her leave the office with no additional punishment. Physical education consisted of various programs of sports that students would engage in for a specified time period. Gymnastics was one physical education curriculum where students were introduced to the trampoline. Activity on the trampoline was considered to be potentially dangerous, as falling the wrong way could result in serious injury. A family member confirmed the possible hazards of the trampoline through a story about a girl that was known, who fell the wrong way on this equipment resulting in an injury that left her wheelchair bound for life. In physical education spotters were required to stand 61 around the trampoline and the physical education teacher would carefully monitor the one student assigned to the trampoline. During the winter of this year, I acquired a sinus infection. To alleviate the symptoms of this infection, one purchased nasal sprays and an “over the counter” remedy to dry the sinus cavities in the head. After months of using the above remedies, one was still not cured of this infection. I decided then to forego using the sinus drying pills and nasal sprays resulting in the illness cured within a week after abstaining from the use of these drugs. A high school administrator, who had one duty of assigning after school detention to the wayward enrolled, had a child who attended high school. This teenager was occasionally part of my circle of friends. This student was constantly attacked by some of those students who were not following school rules and assigned detention by the teenager’s father. At home, I stated to mother that the harassed and incessantly attacked student should not be attending the school where the father was employed in one aspect of the job, as a detention official. The student died shortly after high school of a substance abuse problem. In senior year, I was enrolled in an ecology course. The teacher was professional and knowledgeable about this subject area. He provided students with information regarding ecosystems and the importance of maintaining the natural balance of the environment. The teacher reaffirmed to us that pollution was a serious threat to living creatures and needed to be reduced for the well being of all. An assignment that I thought was unusual and odd was delivered to the class for completion within a specified time period. The assignment was to seek out and procure a soil sample known or thought to be polluted that lacked the nutrients for plant growth. After a few days of thinking about where one might find soil of this nature, I concluded that no soil like this existed in the area. After further careful thinking however, one realized that plants do not grow in gravel. So, through travelling to a local granite rock quarry, I obtained two scoops of pulverized stone resembling the consistency of course soil. Two students brought in soil that was heavily soaked with gasoline leading to a foul odor and noxious fumes emitted into the classroom. Other students stated that their soil samples were obtained at known polluted sites in the area. In school, seeds were planted in all the soil samples procured by students. The outcome of this experiment was that plants grew in all the soil samples except for the soil soaked with gasoline and the sample I procured of pulverized rock. So one could surmise and perhaps conclude that unless circumstances are extreme, plant growth does occur even in polluted soil. Students were also invited to participate in an excursion on a weekend day to a cranberry bog, where we walked on spongy sphagnum moss wearing tall boots. We also visited an interesting area of New Jersey where primitive and prehistoric plants such as the Venus flytrap still grew. Retrospective: In an evil society, people who are well versed in many subject areas are often attacked by others. The personal computer has likely eliminated some of the fraud and corruption associated with personal patent and copyright infringements by providing dated documentation of work. The requiring of receipts for all merchandise returns would eliminate fraud. The work of evil is apparent with the 62 constant promotion to students of picnics, special frivolous events, and parties. It seemed as though the girl who stole my purse, was scolded for getting caught. Today parents purchase trampolines for their children for backyard play. It is suggested that parents research trampoline accidents on the internet before allowing their children to engage in trampoline use. Be advised that the popular inflatable bounce house, for use by children, is like the trampoline. It appears that the rules for all people are not the rules for some people, as discussed in the story of the DWI driver. Historical Accounts 1976: 30 More than twenty two thousand people are killed in an earthquake in Guatemala and Honduras on February 4. In a highly publicized right to die case, it is ruled by judges on March 31 that Karen Ann Quinlin can be disconnected from a ventilator. An earthquake in China kills two hundred and fifty thousand people to perhaps six hundred and fifty thousand people on July 28. About thirty nine hundred people are killed in an earthquake in Turkey on November 24. The first supersonic transport (SST) airplane is made available for commercial use on May 24. The fastest train in the world begins service in Great Britain. NASA lands Viking 2 on Mars. Remarks: Many people die in three natural disasters. Karen Ann Quinlan, who was in a coma, lives nine years after being disconnected from a ventilator. Also recognize, that some people who are in a comatose state, do regain consciousness. Flights on the supersonic transport airplane known as the Concorde take less than half the travel time of conventional airplanes. 1977 I registered at the local community college for the course requirements needed to obtain a registered nursing degree. After engaging in one semester of book theory and simulated practice, students were assigned to various medical facilities. One of my assignments was to a unit in a general hospital where I was further given a patient assignment. According to the patient’s chart, the diagnosis was a terminal illness. Upon entering the hospital room, the patient was looking out of the window at a large cemetery located across the street from the hospital. I felt compassion for this patient and disgust for the locating of a hospital across the street from a cemetery, where patient’s window views were of this depressing scene. Another requirement of this program was to memorize a long list of pharmaceutical drugs and their uses and possible side effects. One believed after reviewing the effects of some of these drugs on the human body that these prescriptions were dangerous and were sometimes more detrimental to the patient, than the ailment for which the drugs were prescribed. So for a least two of the above reasons I 63 decided that nursing was not for me, and quit the program enrolling in the school’s business curriculum instead. Mother, at this time, made a decision to change careers. She enrolled in the community college’s social service curriculum and program. This was a slight annoyance to me as it was an embarrassment concerning my peers to have mother walking the hallways of the school that I too attended. She did not however make a nuisance of herself although at times, I thought she was monitoring me. I was beginning to become disturbed with Americans concerning obsessions with materialism. Much of the conversation engaged in centered on procuring possessions such as certain automobiles. Other conversation was self centered, sports related, or jovial. I liked to discuss issues and possible solutions to problems and usually when I approached an issue oriented topic with American peers, the subject was changed or dismissed. The college hosted various clubs that students were invited to attend. I joined the international club where I met many interesting and issues oriented students from around the world. It was at this time that I met my future spouse who lived in two foreign countries and is multi-lingual, speaking four languages fluently. Professors were assigned to this association to provide guidance to students. Student members of this club were from many countries including: Austria, Brazil, British Guyana, China, Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, India, Iran, Japan, Nicaragua, The Philippines, Turkey, and the United States. In the spring of this year, some members of the international club, including myself joined together in a French club sponsored three day tour to Quebec City, Canada. Two small vans were chartered for the several hours drive to our destination. The scenery viewed through the Adirondack mountain range was breathtaking and inspiring as we listened to classical music befitting this experience. Two professors from the history and French department chaperoned students on this excursion. The French professor was an eccentric individual who emigrated from Belgium. He sometimes spoke in riddles with comical and perhaps cynical undertones. Prior to this trip, students were discussing Eastern European politics. Someone had a question about Albania that no one could answer. The French professor challenged students to research this question and provide the group with the answer. Several days later, the professor approached the students to inquire about the answer to the Albanian question. No one bothered to research this question to find the answer. Henceforth, the group attending the visit to Quebec City was designated by the professor as the Albanian Delegation. Blue tee shirts were distributed to each student attending this tour with the words Albanian Delegation written on the front of the shirt with the address of the pensione’ where we lodged. It was recommended that we wear the tee shirt for the duration of the visit. We arrived in Quebec City, a town that reminded me of the traditional quaint villages of Europe with its Tudor style architecture and narrow cobblestone streets. We secured our reservations at a bed and breakfast inn, unpacked our luggage and dined at a recommended modern restaurant situated atop a tall office building in the new area of the city. The floor of the restaurant revolved slowly around affording customers a complete view of the city. I was pleased that my seating was next to the wall of windows, affording the best view. Sometime later during the meal I desired to retrieve something from my purse that was placed on the 64 floor next to my chair. Not touching the strap of the bag, I looked to the floor where it was placed. The pocketbook was nowhere in the vicinity. A feeling of panic swept over me as I thought about my vacation money, passport, and other items of importance that were contained in the bag. Realizing that the purse was placed on a stationary ledge, I circled the large restaurant, finally finding the purse where it was placed, halfway around the establishment. Perturbed with this technology and wanting to remain within a manageable environment, we dined at small cafes for the remainder of the visit. In the autumn, I was legitimately elected as vice president of the international club. During this term, a large international luncheon was planned and organized with food prepared by club members and other food donated by ethnic cuisine restaurants in the area. Some students preformed dances that were native to their countries. All college faculty and students were invited to attend this event. Most all Iranian students at the college were engineering students. By the autumn of 1978, shortly before the Shah was deposed, it seemed as though most of the student body at the college were Iranians. In a jocular way, I suggested that the name of the college be changed to Persian Community College. In a conversation with mother I stated that Iran is likely going to have an over abundance of engineers that will result in lower salaries paid to this educated group. After the Shah went into exile in early 1979 however, most all Iranian students returned to Iran. There was a self proclaimed Communist who was an occasional member of the international club. This student caused considerable consternation between members of the group and had a volatile temper. The student caused many arguments due to the student’s insane ideas. Most of us were relieved when this student left the meeting room. There was a street in the town of one’s residence that presented a hazard when turning from this road onto a major thoroughfare due to a blind area caused by a hill that obstructed drivers’ views. I stated to mother and father that the above situation was dangerous to drivers and that it represented “an accident waiting to happen”. Some people agreed with this assessment and notified the town about the probability of accidents occurring at this location. Through hearsay, the reply given by town officials to the above concerns was that funds were not available for a traffic light. A short time later, a young teenager known to me was killed in a horrific accident at this intersection. After this accident, a flashing hazard light was installed. Retrospective: If the view is dismal from a window of a patient’s room in a medical facility then perhaps a vinyl window appliqué can be attached to the glass. Some of these appliqués are frosted and others have various designs to allow the light through, but obstruct outside views. Some students seem unwilling to do extra research unless compensated by a grade as suggested by the outcome of the Albanian question. So many engineering students from one foreign country seemed strange and perhaps worthwhile investigating. Communists instigate plenty of trouble to achieve their atheistic goals. It is important that one does not stop fighting with Communists otherwise they gain positions of authority within a society, and eventually destroy the society with the assistance of Satan. To end the constant battle and fight against Communism the vast majority of people should return to the 65 adherence of The Ten Commandments and other morality expounded in The Bible thereby gaining God’s support to remove these evil doers from positions of authority. To digress and stereotype a bit, one has noticed that Communists in positions of authority have pristinely clean automobiles, on the other hand, Communist followers own cars that are more than often full of garbage, junk, and other possessions. Historical Accounts 1977: 31 The world’s first personal computer named the Commodore PET is introduced in an electronics show in January. Vietnam draft evaders are pardoned by President Carter on January 21. Snow falls in Miami, Florida on January 19. A twenty five hour power failure in New York City results in some people looting and causing other damages on July 13. The United States Senate investigates MKULTRA beginning on August 3. The “Wow” signal is documented through “The Big Ear” radio telescope on August 15. NASA launches the Enterprise from the top of a 747 airplane. Remarks: People begin to purchase personal computers for home and office use, exposing themselves to increased radiation due to the close proximity of the computer screen to one’s body. Families whose drafted sons died and were seriously injured in the Vietnam War are affronted by the pardon of other drafted sons who escaped the war by departing the country and then who were granted an invitation to return to the United States this year “without penalty” by the President. Strange weather happens in tropical Miami, Florida. Some people take advantage of a power outage to loot and engage in other stealing in violation of at least one Commandment. The MKULTRA hearings conducted by the United States Senate gives credibility and recognition to decades of planned, designed, and implemented programs of first brainwashing and then the mind controlling of people which was the desire of evil doers in positions of authority for the purposes of gaining wealth, power and control over the populations of people. Recognize that these gross immoralities entered the society likely due to the population’s own immorality. Many people were not following The Ten Commandments and were engaged in Capital Sins and Abominations thus subjecting themselves to this type of brutality. This situation continues to this day. Also recognize that believing the lies of witches, warlocks, wizards, magicians, and fortune tellers also increases the peoples’ susceptibility to being first brainwashed then mind controlled. An outer space signal is recorded leading some people to believe in outer space creatures thus resulting in the possible deposition of God. 66 1978 I was made aware of an international study program through a professor at the community college attended. Discussing this program with my parents, they decided to grant permission for my participation in this international language, living, and study experience. Arrangements were made for me to attend a school in Germany. I departed the United States on a rainy, cold day in February arriving at a major airport in Germany where I boarded a train to the city of my destination. Someone from the school was supposed to have met me at the local train station but was not there. I hailed a taxi cab to an office address that was provided to me prior to my departure from the United States. At the office, I was informed that my schooling and living arrangements had not yet been confirmed. Worried and tired, I waited in the office until the end of the day when I was finally told that a room was made available at the school on a temporary basis. A few days later, it was confirmed that I could stay in this facility for the duration of the semester. I entered the assigned room on the second floor of the school and found it to be pleasant. The small room contained a desk and book shelves, an armoire, a sofa that converted to a bed, and a sink with an above mirrored cabinet. The large windows offered a view of the front entrance and a small parking area. The toilet and shower facilities for single rooms such as the one assigned to me, were located in another area. The school attended here, was many years ago a hotel that was converted into a school. The students who were assigned two to a room had a full bathroom attached to their private living area. On one occasion while visiting with a fellow classmate in her double room, I used the lavatory that contained a bidet in addition to the other common lavatory porcelain fixtures. Recalling viewing this fixture on my previous trip to Europe in 1970, one was curious about how this apparatus operated. Fully clothed, one fiddled with some knobs attached to the bidet but was unable to turn it on and humorously asked the girl who was assigned to that room for assistance. She entered the lavatory and showed me how to operate this device. We both laughed when viewing the strong jets of water emitted and dispersed around this piece of equipment. I immediately recognized this device, apparently promoted for cleanliness purposes to be a sexually stimulating apparatus perhaps inspiring promiscuity. For a short time period, I did not have a key to the room and so I confined myself to the room until provided with a key. A student in a neighboring room suggested that I lock the door of the room from the inside, climb out of the window along a ledge and enter this student’s room through a window. I thought this was a dangerous idea and declined this suggestion. Then the student proceeded to demonstrate this tactic. Imploring the student to return to the room, a school official noticed this escapade and the student was reprimanded. The course of study was one of language immersion. The curriculum consisted of classroom textbook study and practice in a language laboratory where individual cubicles were equipped with headphones to receive recorded lessons in the language. Most of the students attending this school were from regions of the Middle East and the surrounding area. There were students from China, Cyprus, Greece, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kurdistan (a region of Iran), Turkey, and the United States. Some students claimed that their parents were politically connected to their home countries. Needless to say, there was much political conversation concerning various perceived inequities regarding government policies. By the time I left this school, I was tired of talking about politics but not about societal issues. Meals were served three times a day, with dinner served at mid-day. Each day of the week had a specific meal 67 designated, that repeated for that day week after week. On Sunday’s, the kitchen was closed. I dreaded Friday’s meal of a blood sausage which was a loosely filled sausage of blood and gristle that was served with boiled potatoes. Each student was assigned a small refrigerator with a lock and key that was built into a wall near the cafeteria. Some students complained about the cost of having to purchase meals in town on Sunday, the one day of the week that food was not served to students. To accommodate some student’s requests, the school administration permitted the students the use of the kitchen on one Sunday. After arriving back from town, I heard noise and a commotion permeating from the kitchen. I went in to see what was happening. There were many students cooking all kinds and varieties of food simultaneously leading to a foul order. I greeted them and declined their invitation to sample some of this food, and left the kitchen. At daybreak the following morning, a school official was pounding on the door of my room demanding that I open the door immediately. Sleepily I arose from bed, answered the door and asked what was wrong. He stated that the kitchen was left a mess and that I had been seen in the kitchen the previous evening. He asked me if this was true. I replied yes, but tried to further explain that I neither cooked, nor ate any of the food. The school official paid no attention to my explanation and so I was also held responsible for the kitchen clean up. Upon entering the kitchen that morning, I could not believe what I saw. Piles of filthy pots, pans, plates, and bowls were left along with greasy and food encrusted appliances and countertops. Although I did not have full bathroom facilities in my room of assignment, I was relieved and grateful that I had my own place of solace. For many students who roomed two to a room there always seemed to be some controversy, trouble, and the casting of blame. Once a week, housekeeping services were provided where rooms were vacuumed and cleaned in accessible areas. I was complimented on the tidiness of my room, which I did not think was very clean due to a dust build up on the bookshelves. I then wondered about the appearance and condition of some of the other student’s rooms. Frequently during the week, I would venture into town sometimes with fellow students or solitarily. I noticed a considerable population of young people with birth defect deformities that were caused by the drug Thalidomide. This drug was prescribed to pregnant women from 1957 to 1961, to prevent morning sickness. A point worth noting is that Thalidomide has a similar chemical compound structure to methylphenidate (brand name known as Ritalin) both of which are teratogenic drugs meaning that these drugs cause birth defects. A rehabilitative hospital was located in the city where I attended school which explained the considerable presence of this afflicted group. It was disturbing to see these atrocities caused by a drug that was negligently approved for use by pregnant women, in some countries around the world. During a long weekend recess a student offered a ride in a car to visit Paris. Four students and I departed on a bright and beautiful day in springtime enjoying the sights along the way. Especially stunning were the groves of blooming cherry trees seen in the countryside of France on our way to visit Paris. We arrived in Paris by late afternoon and immediately sought an inexpensive hotel in which to lodge for two nights. The group asked me to inquire about vacancy and price as I appeared more European. At the first hotel of inquiry, I spoke English to a woman at the front desk. She asked me what my nationality was 68 and I stated American. No vacancy was available. At the second hotel, I decided to speak in German and rooms were available. After making the rooming arrangements, the group from the car joined me in the hotel. In the morning, we discussed plans for the day. Everyone but I was interested in shopping. Reluctantly, I agreed to join the others on a shopping excursion to find specific electronic items that the other students wanted to buy, that apparently were less expensive in France. After shopping all morning and still not finding the items sought, I was beginning to feel frustrated and aggravated as I felt that precious time in Paris was being wasted. Viewing a historic fort from the shopping district, I excused myself from the group, agreeing to meet up with them later in the day. I walked to the fort, then to the Eiffel Tower. Contemplating a visit to the top of the structure, I decided against it after finding out from a person about a crowded restaurant at the peak and long lines inside a narrow area that reminded me of a sensation of claustrophobia that I experienced while visiting the Statue of Liberty. I met with the group in the late afternoon at a café on the Champs Elysees, near the Arc of Triumph. As it turned out they still had not found all of the items they were seeking to purchase and would be shopping again the following day. The next morning, I decided to visit the Louvre museum, The Cathedral of Notre Dame and the Sacre Couer. Once again, plans were made to meet up with the group later in the day. My visit to the Louvre was my first experience touring a large art museum. Realizing the enormity of the museum, I walked through it at a moderate pace however a few paintings were captivating, obligating me to examine them more closely. Scene du deluge by Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Trioson depicts one man’s desperate effort to rescue his family who are possibly brainwashed, from certain death ( check online: “Scene of the Flood” by Anne Louis Girodet de Roucy-Trioson). Le concert champetre by Le Giorgione depicts women as ignorant sexual objects who are possibly brainwashed and subservient to men (check online Le Giorgione Pastoral Concert (Fete Champetre). Les Sabines arretant le combat entre les Romains et les Sabins by artist Louis David shows one woman’s attempt to stop a raging battle of carnage in a city where some people appear to be insane (check online The Sabine Woman 1799). Exiting the Louvre later than expected I walked briskly to the Cathedral of Notre Dame. I entered the Cathedral through a heavy door and was amazed by the colossal size of the interior. Notre Dame was constructed between the tenth and twelfth centuries in a gothic architectural style. Few visitors were inside the Cathedral at that time and so the sounds of a few footsteps echoing within the walls of this enormous church, created an ambiance of eeriness. I thought about the story of the Hunchback of Notre Dame and left the premises noticing a dark winding staircase near the heavy doors on my way out. The school semester officially ended in June requiring me to make a decision on whether to return to the United States or remain in Europe for a while longer to travel additionally, which would necessitate being on a very tight budget. A student at the school was planning to travel after the completion of school thus providing me with a possible travel companion however, the student changed plans and left to visit Turkey. I decided to remain one extra month if I could stretch the German Mark that long to travel within Germany and Austria. I packed the essentials in a large knapsack and left the remainder of my luggage at a secure place in the school. Carrying with me a tour book, map, and youth hostel guide, I set out on the journey that included the two cities of Munich and Salzburg. In Munich I intended to visit 69 the sight of the former concentration camp Dachau but changed my mind as I reconsidered that this planned visit would be too depressing. I visited the desolate 1972 Olympic Stadium instead. This huge area for the most part was suprisingly devoid of people. The visit to Salzburg was interesting as the city could be viewed from the train as a circle nestled in among the beautiful Alps. I viewed the largest chess set that I have ever seen in that city’s square. Most Europeans at that time could identify my nationality prior to conversation by my shoes which were sneakers. I discovered in the food market a kind of milk that did not need to be refrigerated and so I drank this for the low cost nutrition it provided. During my travels, I met someone in the German army (Bundeswehr) who told me about a six month mandatory service for all German men within a specified age group. In times of peace this group serves in projects of public works. In Germany, many churches were visited, some grand and some small that usually provided me with a sense of relaxation. I wondered why however, skeletal bones were displayed in some of these churches. Arriving home at the end of July, I procured full time employment at an apparel department store assigned first as a cashier and then as a sales clerk in the women’s department. I attended the community college in the evening earning twelve credits and an associate’s degree by December. I applied for and was accepted at the four year university that I had wanted to attend after high school. I now had the good grade point average that was needed for full time admission. My future spouse was also attending a university of his choice, one of the most prestigious business schools in the country. This was indeed a Happy New Year and was celebrated with another couple at a Yugoslavian restaurant in the city. The food ordered was good and the live band enjoyable but the octopus served gratis, prior to the meal was gross. Retrospective: I was annoyed that arrangements were not secured for me at the language school prior to my arrival as was “confirmed” prior to my departure. Sometimes a preoccupation with evil in the society makes some people appear to be incompetent. In a good society, if one abuses a privilege, do not expect any other privileges to be granted as in the example of the students who left a mess in the kitchen. In an evil society, people that are not responsible for immoral situations are sometimes forced to help rectify problems and situations. All college students who require boarding on school premises should be provided with a small individual and compact room preferably with a window, shower, sink, and toilet facilities to provide for the sanity of the student. It is important to realize as well that based on the potential differing of moralities and immoralities of roommates, that a moral or perhaps a moral and religious roommate would be ensnared by an immoral roommate to engage in various immoralities to include promiscuity. Also, in some cases it is easier to ascertain damages to property when individuals are made responsible and accountable. There is reason for concern that the popularly prescribed drug Ritalin could have lasting adverse effects on a future developing human being. The obsessive acquiring of material goods seems to have become an international priority as well, as discussed by the example of the students in Paris. Based on the above cited Louvre paintings, it is most appropriate at this time to discuss public nakedness. In the second half of the 1970’s in the United States some young people became involved in a fad called “streaking”. This phenomenon, involved people running through neighborhoods naked that caused many other people viewing this insane and immoral behavior, to 70 become upset. At about the same time, nudist beaches became more prevalent. College and University art classes required the painting of nudes, enlisting a nude model to be present in the classroom. Public exposure to nakedness continued to increase to today’s widespread decadent exposure and bombardment of the masses, to public nudity. For example: Bicyclists have been permitted to ride their bikes nude in a major world city. Thousands of ordinary people have shed their clothes for a famous artist’s photography. Some municipalities in the United States permit people to walk around town nude. Groups ride the city subways scantily clad in their underwear and other groups hold special events and festivals wearing only their underwear. In examining art work throughout the ages, it is noted that nakedness appears in art during certain specific times in history, perhaps times where evil has gained wealth, power, and control over the population. It is further likely that the widespread population’s absurdity to agree (likely due to the influence of evil) to remove one’s clothes, is a precursor to a “Sodom and Gomorrah” situation that will most likely result in the complete and total destruction of the society. It is a good idea to involve all young people in mandatory service to a country, but not necessarily military service, for a reasonably designated period of time. This concept can provide the youth with career and personal life experiences, an appreciation for one’s own country and people, and cohesiveness within the society. After arriving home from Europe, my desire to wander was satiated. I was now strongly focused on achieving the mature goals of completing university studies, procuring a well paid job that I enjoyed, “marrying”, and establishing a home together with my partner. Historical Accounts 1978: 32 It is declared by the United States Court on March 28 that judicial immunity applied in a case of involuntary sterilization in Stump versus Sparkman. In the United States, the production of the life killing but building saving Neutron bomb is postponed on April 7. The first test tube baby is born in the United Kingdom on July 25. Pope Paul VI dies on August 6 and is succeeded by Pope John Paul I on September 28, who dies and is succeeded by Pope John Paul II on October 16. A leader of a cult group in Jonestown, Guyana appears to have brainwashed and mind controlled over nine hundred members into committing suicide on November 18. Argentina plays against The Netherlands to win the world soccer cup. Remarks: The United States legal system declares that courts cannot be held responsible for judicial decrees of involuntary sterilization. The manufacture of the Neutron bomb is halted by United States President Carter. The first test tube baby is born initiating the beginning and proliferation of fertility clinics, where human beings are killed en masse . During this decade it is revealed through various news stories that the brainwashing and subsequent mind controlling of individuals and groups was occurring, which is and was likely due to attacks by evil against them. Mind controlling can occur because of the 71 increased immorality within societies, thus allowing evil to manifest itself (gain a stronghold) in those societies. Adhering to the following of The Ten Commandments, avoiding Capital Sins, and Abominations is no longer a priority for many people during this age. 1979 Prior to beginning the university, I expressed reservations to mother and father about being able to maintain a paid job and accomplish the requirements of the courses at the university. After reviewing the costs of gasoline, tolls, and other necessities, father offered to provide me with an adequate allowance which made it possible to quit my job and devote most all of my time to the requirements of the courses at the school. The first semester at the university was the most difficult one for me. I especially found a BASIC (Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) computer course and an accounting course to be formidable. Seeking tutorial assistance with accounting, I passed with an adequate grade. My desperation and frustration with the computer course caused considerable angst. In this age, computers were huge room size machines requiring key punched cards to be scanned in order, to receive a printout of a program. After key punching hundreds of cards, I would arrive at the computer terminal and wait on sometimes long lines with other students for the opportunity to run my program. Invariably, some cards were punched incorrectly that created errors in the program which required me to key punch new cards and then resume the procedure again. The final project assignment was to create a market research questionnaire and to compile the results of a survey using the BASIC program. Overwhelmed with a general lack of direction with this project, a fellow student offered assistance. I also passed this course with an adequate grade. Beginning in high school through college, group term projects became requirements of many courses where the same grade was given to all group members or two grades were assessed, an individual grade and a group grade. Through the years, I learned to seek out the more diligent, studious, responsible and focused students in the class to team with, after experiencing memberships in groups where some team members were not fulfilling their obligations. This slothfulness by one or more group members resulted in a lower grade for all group members inspiring an ire within me. In contemplating this method of instruction further, one recognizes a Communist ideology associated with some group projects including corporate and compensation, where all group members are paid similarly regardless of an individual’s efforts and achievements as a group member. In April, my future spouse and I became engaged to be married. Not quite convinced that I wanted a diamond ring to represent our engagement, I spoke with friends about perhaps selecting another possible stone and asked of them their opinion on this matter. They discouraged me from selecting another gem stone stating that a diamond is the traditional stone for all engagements and a diamond ring, worn on the ring finger of the left hand is an unspoken way to communicate a woman’s unavailability to other men. A ring of another stone, worn on the ring finger of the left hand, is irrelevant to an engagement. 72 Beginning in 1976, we vacationed at a seaside area of Maine that we enjoyed very much. Initially invited to stay at a cottage that friends of my parents had rented, we continued to visit this less developed and quieter seaside area. One day during a drive along a rocky coastline, we decided to stop the car and explore the scenic area. We happened upon pristine tidal pools containing small crabs, fish, snails, starfish, and other interesting sea creatures. Then we noticed that some large rocks were hung with mussels. We decided to gather these mussels for the evening’s meal. We returned back to the cottage to cook the mussels and add them to a sauce. While cooking the mussels, we noticed many black pearls that were inside of the shells. Some of these pearls were larger than others, interesting, and provided us with an amazing surprise. The meal was delicious and so we decided to return to this area to gather more mussels for another meal. So, we returned once again and filled our container with more of these shellfish. Taking a different route back to the car, we viewed what appeared to be an old rusty town sign stating a warning not to eat the mussels as they are contaminated with nuclear waste. We looked around at this uninhabited, natural, and clean environment and wondered why this sign was erected. Later during our visit, we went huckleberry picking in a wooded area not too far from the cottage. Brother, fiancé, and I gathered huckleberries for a fresh fruit dessert. Father stated to fiancé that these berries were called something derogatory meaning hemorrhoids. Hence, fiancé, an immigrant, had no idea what he was saying, when referring to the name of these berries, creating plenty of laughter on this trip. Later, he was told the true meaning of this derogatory word and chuckled. In the autumn, I became particularly focused on my studies spending long hours in the school library working on research assignments. Some of these assignments necessitated the scrutiny and examining of statistics. At that time, I thought that I should return to examine some of these statistics more carefully, when more time was available as there appeared to be discrepancies with some statistics within a subject area. Along with extensive course requirements, professors would also provide students with recommended reading lists that were sometimes very long and extensive. After briefly reviewing these lists, I felt overwhelmed and sensed a need to withdraw. After a period of time, I reconsidered this thought and decided that perhaps I would like to read some of these books on the lists after all, but postponed that idea for a less hurried time of my life. Increasingly, my attention was centered on completing school with a good grade point average and obtaining gainful employment. Although the university offered opportunities to participate as a member in various clubs and organizations, I refrained from joining any group partly because of time constraints. Tentatively, fiancé and I intended to marry in the summer of 1981, so in addition to school and career concerns, wedding arrangements were also contemplated. Retrospective: For many students a minimum wage job and other jobs, interfere with a student’s ability to do well in school that in some cases result in student failures. Prioritizing school work before paid employment is suggested. Perhaps a loan or other arrangements can be made for expenses during the time of school attendance. Group projects can inspire engagement in Capital Sins based on the dynamics of the group. Each group member should bear complete responsibility for their contribution to the group by assigning individual grades. In some countries around the world such as Poland, the 73 engagement ring and wedding band are worn on the right hand. The diamond ring as a symbol of engagement came into vogue during relatively recent times. In some countries, two rings are exchanged to represent the engagement of the man and the woman, thus making it known to others, the unavailability for dating, of both the man and the woman. Foreigners and immigrants are sometimes purposely given wrong information for all kinds of reasons, by native people. In an evil society, anything of importance should be further researched by the foreigner or immigrant. Until in a predicament, I did not read any of the suggested books provided by college professors due to a perceived lack of time. It is wise for one to make time for important books. In conjunction with this suggestion, is an idea for people who have accumulated important books in their library. The idea is to place labels on each book deemed to be important. One label can be placed on the book jacket and another placed on the front book cover should the jacket be removed, to advise future heirs not to discard the book. The reason for this suggestion is that important books have “disappeared” throughout history, leaving populations of people ignorant of imperative and life saving information. For example, in one’s own library the intention is to label the books included as references in this book to state: “Important Book, Do Not Discard under any Circumstances”. By the third year of college, I became more self centered and less involved in fraternizing with peers as I was focused on achieving personal goals. Historical Accounts 1979: 33 The Three Mile Island nuclear disaster occurs in Pennsylvania on March 28. McDonald’s introduces the “Happy Meal” in June. Pope John Paul II‘s visit to Poland marks the beginning of the solidarity movement on June 2. Smallpox has been determined to be eradicated worldwide on December 9. China’s one child policy is implemented. NASA’s Voyager I photographs the rings of Jupiter. Remarks: A dangerous and deadly disease is deemed to be eradicated leading to the abolishment of the smallpox vaccine. McDonald’s, a popular self serve franchise restaurant offers child size food products containing a protein and starch and include a toy for an inexpensive price. Perhaps the toy has replaced the fruit or vegetable. Pope John Paul II’s visit to Poland results in the beginnings of an anti-communist movement in that country. A meltdown of a nuclear power plant results in the emission of dangerous radioactive substances. People in China are forbidden to have more than one child resulting in massive abortions and other societal immoralities. 1980 One day while fiance’ was driving, he became involved in a fender bender with another vehicle. The circumstances of this small collision took place at a stop sign where both cars were stopped. Fiance’ 74 thought that the car in front of him was moving and so he moved his car forward and bumped the car in front of him causing about $100 in damages, to the rear bumper of the car ahead. The police were summoned to the scene of the accident and a report was filed. During this time period between the collision and the police officer completing the accident report, the driver of the other vehicle was biting his lips causing his lips to bleed. The police officer asked this man to please stop biting his lips. A short time later, fiance’ was served with a legal action where he was being sued for $1,000,000. This created about two years of emotional distress to fiance’ and I, until this case was settled. There was talk about garnishing his salary after full time employment was obtained after completing his university studies. This lawsuit affected his and my ability to concentrate on school studies. I was thoroughly disgusted that an attorney would accept a case such as this and believed at this time that there was a serious problem with the legal system in this country. To reliably transport me to school, a new car was needed as my old car was a gasoline guzzler and mechanical trouble since the accident several years earlier. Savings were used to purchase the car and a loan was secured to be paid after securing full time employment. Before purchasing the car, reports on the automobile manufacturer and model were researched and scrutinized to avoid purchasing an automobile model with known mechanical problems. The car selected was a used one year old small economy car with a manual transmission that delivered between thirty to thirty five miles for each gallon of gasoline consumed. The car was most reliable during the ten years of ownership when it was finally sold due to a perceived discomfort with the interior seating. One regretted selling the car because of this problem. Years later in 2000, one purchased a similar style of automobile where the highway gas mileage was only between twenty five to thirty miles a gallon, which lead one to believe that instead of progressing with gasoline engine efficiency, the society was retrogressing concerning this matter. Throughout college regular visits to libraries were necessary to complete required reports and projects. One visited several large libraries in the vicinity of my residence where usually the important books and periodicals sought related to the thorough completion of the project, were not available at these sizeable libraries. Through investigation one discovered a very small library that usually contained all the information one needed to complete an assignment. I often wondered aloud to fellow students why the larger libraries did not have in their inventory the precise sources needed to thoroughly complete a topic for college reports. The students agreed with me but could not answer my question. The course requirements of this year demanded intensive research, study, and reporting, sometimes requiring a written and oral presentation. A group project in which I partook involved the hypothetical, complete marketing of a new and innovative product. Our group, with the professor’s approval selected a novel product to market. My responsibility in this group project was to report on the most cost effective way to transport and deliver the product to the retailer. Some of the research involved contacting various transportation companies including truck, rail, and airline companies. Through investigation, I recognized another mode of transportation, a concept called “piggy backing” which is the idea of combining freight carrying trucks with railroad service. A local trucking company did not have time to answer my questions regarding transportation costs but invited me to their office to research 75 through trade books the various costs to transport goods by truck from one location to another. To research the costs of airline transportation and the costs of “piggy backing”, I discovered that the New York State Library of The Transportation Department of New York State was located in one of the buildings of the World Trade Center. I visited this library and was thus able to compile all the costs necessary to include in my assigned area of the group marketing project. It was taught during this era that marketers focus on one attribute of a product, to sell a product. Two of the reasons given for this concept were that too many attributes of a product promoted, would confuse the individual. There was also the idea of shared business between competitors, based on each competitor focusing on one aspect (market niche), of like products. For example, in 1980, in selling a tooth paste, one marketer would focus on cavity prevention while another marketer would focus on bright, white teeth. Today, many benefits of a product are sometimes promoted to appeal to all possible perceived needs. In the above case, today, one marketer promotes cavity prevention, tooth whitening, breathe freshening, germ fighting, etcetera, in selling a tooth paste. Other projects assigned to students required a marketing revitalization campaign for common existing products whose sales were in decline. These students reports were presented orally and some were very innovative and impressive. A short time later, through public advertising campaigns in print and televised media, I saw two of these almost exact marketing campaigns being used by the manufacturers of the products that students had reported on in their oral reports months earlier at the university. I enrolled in a one credit course to provide for the one needed business credit to graduate. This course was a weekly seminar style course where students listened to and took notes on the discussions of chief executive officers of corporations. Each week a different chief executive officer was scheduled to discuss a business topic. One chief executive officer, who worked for a major food products corporation, discussed keeping costs low and managing to excel within a thrifty budget. This executive claimed to live this corporate philosophy in the executive’s own personal life and provided one example of this philosophy by driving a small, compact, economy car. In the last semester of school, I pondered the idea of pursuing a degree in law at this university to help rectify injustices in the legal system, and believed that I would be admitted to law school based on a good grade point average. Discussing this idea with my parents, mother stated that jobs in that profession were scarce due to an over abundance of attorneys and further stated that they would not be paying for additional schooling. I contemplated obtaining a student loan to pay for the law school tuition but decided against this when realizing the amount of debt that I would incur upon graduating. Because I commuted to the university and did not live in an on campus dormitory, I was less involved in the social “scene” and other occurrences at the school. One day, I heard sirens and looked to where these loud sounds were coming from. There were at least two fire trucks parked in front of the university dormitory. I expressed my concerns about the safety of students living on campus and their possessions to another student who lived on campus. I was told by this student that dormitory fires are frequent enough, so there was no need to be alarmed. On a cold cloudy December afternoon, I drove into a parking space in the parking lot of the university thinking about a project presentation due when news was delivered by the car radio that former Beatles 76 member, John Lennon had been shot dead. I was sad and thought about the image of John Lennon who had been portrayed as a peaceful, non violent person who tried to deliver this philosophy of love for life and people through his songs. I wondered who could murder such a seemingly gentle and kind person. Sensing that I might cry, I refocused my attention on the tasks at hand and proceeded to class. School ended in December, but graduation ceremonies were scheduled for February. Diplomas were mailed to students in January. On opening and viewing my diploma, I noticed immediately that business was spelled incorrectly. Annoyed, I telephoned a fellow student with the news of this error. The student stated that this student’s diploma would be returned for a corrected one and asked me if I would be doing the same and also asked about us, attending the graduation ceremony. Replying that my contemplation was to keep the blundered document, I stated that I would not be attending the ceremony. The completion of university studies with a 3.1 cumulative grade point average, earned a BBA (bachelor of business administration) degree. Retrospective: Some people have no scruples in inflicting harm on others to gratify themselves. Products are marketed to the public somewhat differently today. Instead of focusing on one market niche, many supposed attributes of a product are promoted. Perhaps this tactic leads to the confusing of people and removes competition from the market place. Or perhaps people are now required to know something about everything (a Jack of all trades and a master of none). There are at least several explanations for the apparent corruption discussed in the case of the two student reports, used by professional marketers. Perhaps, these almost exact reports presented by students in the classroom, and then seen in outside media was just an odd coincidence. Or, maybe invasions of personal privacy in the homes of students where reports were discussed with family members and stolen through eavesdropping, occurred. Or perhaps there was a “student spy” in the classroom, relaying information to businesses promoting products. Another possibility is that student’s ideas are being provided to outside businesses, by the college or university. If that is the case, then the student should at least receive credit for his or her idea(s) to include on a resume when seeking a job. If one in an authority position touts good values, such as in the corporate executive’s use of an economy car, then others may become thrifty with their budgeting. Diversions and distractions on school campuses that have possibly lead to fires and other emergencies could be reduced through the assignment of students to individual rooms, where the student is held accountable for their room of assignment. Historical Accounts 1980: 34 Time can be automatically and precisely set via a satellite transmission to clocks (including household clocks) containing the receptor for a global positioning system on January 6. A heat wave in the United States kills about seventeen hundred people from June 23 to September 6. The longest tunnel in the world, the St Gotthard Tunnel opens in Switzerland on September 5. An earthquake in Algeria kills more than three thousand five hundred people on October 10. 77 An earthquake in Italy kills more than twenty nine hundred people on November 23. NASA’s Voyager I discovers a moon of Saturn. Remarks: Household clocks can be automatically reset by outside sources. If someone can come into one’s home to reset a clock, what else might this technology assist an evil doer in, with regard to one’s own private domain? 1981 Securing three interviews for sales positions in three different areas of business, I contemplated which position would be mutually beneficial to both the employer and me. The first interview was secured with a financial investment firm where I was offered a position as an investment advisor. One reason I decided to decline this position was that I felt uncomfortable investing other’s money, based on advice given by me. I did not want to be possibly responsible for losing the hard earned money and savings of other people. The second firm of interview was for a sales position at a personnel agency. I thought that the two interviews for this position went well and expected to either be called in for a third interview or be offered a personnel agent position with the firm. The third company interviewed was for a position of junior sales representative for an apparel manufacturer in the city. After three successful interviews I accepted this position. Shortly after accepting the position of junior sales representative, I was offered the position of personnel agent but declined this offer as I had already accepted another offer and had more experience with the sales of apparel due to the part time jobs held while attending school. I quickly became accustomed to the grueling two hour morning commute and two hour return, by bus transportation into and out of the city. As the bus entered the port authority terminal, each morning I viewed the dismal living conditions of those people who dwelled near this port authority building and wondered why their living conditions could not be improved. Shortly after beginning this job, I was asked to learn more of the responsibilities of the position by working together with a veteran salesman for a specific designated time and who resided and worked in the Denver, Colorado area. As this was my first visit to the western area of the United States, I was interested in how the land area appeared from the airplane. The land area around the city of Denver appeared like a parkay floor from this aerial window view. At the airport, I was met by the salesman and his wife who were a friendly and hospitable couple. After checking in at a local motel, I agreed to meet the salesman the next morning at a specified hour. On my way out of the motel room the following morning, I experienced a mild earthquake for the first time in my life. Shaken by this event, I was reassured by the salesman that there was no need for worry. Some time transpired uneventfully as I learned and practiced the skills required for this job. One evening, the salesman invited me to dine with him and his wife in a suburban area just outside of Denver. Driving on our way to his home, we noticed many police officers and other security. The salesman was asked to halt his vehicle which he did and identification inquiries were made of both of us. When the salesman asked of the problem, we were informed that an assassination attempt was made on President Reagan and that the potential assassin lived in the area. That night, I witnessed an incredible meteor shower on the deck attached to the salesman’s home. A few days later, I awoke to a 78 major snowstorm with about a foot of snow already on the ground. With a rented vehicle, I carefully drove to the salesman’s office in the Denver Merchandise Mart. By lunch time no trace of this major snowstorm was visible outside, as all the snow had melted. Needless to say, I was happy to return home when this learning experience was over. As the job responsibilities became more known to me, I realized the seasonality of this business with times of the year that were hectic and other times of the year that were dull, with little to do. I did not like the fact that the job was not consistent in work and daily routine. This city job also exposed me to more immorality. One afternoon, a police officer informed our office of a “peeping Tom” who was apprehended in the ladies room lavatory who was observing women from a toilet stall in the bathroom. I wondered about the time I used the ladies room that day and the subsequent possible violation of my privacy, and was perturbed and embarrassed. Another time someone claiming to be from a messenger service, walked out of our office with bags of apparel. After verifying that no messenger service was called by office personnel, I pursued this individual following him onto the elevator and demanded that this apparel be returned. The potential thief released the bags of apparel from his hand and I took this merchandise back up on another elevator to our office. A short time later, a police officer was investigating an assault on a man in an elevator. The assaulted man cited me as a possible corroborating witness to his assault. I stated that I did not see this man assaulted but was merely reclaiming stolen merchandise. Apparently after I reclaimed the merchandise from this thief and left the elevator, the thief assaulted someone else on the elevator. Later, the manager of the office chastised me for pursuing the thief. The manager stated that the thief may have had a gun and used this against me or other people. At this job, the women who worked in the office did not take an outside lunch break and were expected to remain in the office throughout the entire day which resulted in the mid day meal being procured, through food delivery services. I found this expectation to create fatigue in me as I always seemed to need a breath of fresh air sometime during the work day. At various times during the year, sales meetings were attended at different locations across the United States. After one sales meeting, I decided to join a group in a golf game. As I never golfed before, the ball landed far from the hole. I became the brunt of jokes and mild ridicule from this group that I had joined. However the group quieted down when I accomplished a hole in one. The circumstances of this unusual achievement involved me hitting the ball and watching it skip over a pond, ascend onto an embankment and enter the hole at the top of the hill. No mention was made of this feat, but I was laughingly cited at dinner time for my poor golf performance and given a gift of “super grip” to use during my next golf game. After a sales meeting scheduled in Colorado Springs, the sales representatives and managers were invited to attend a barbeque at the top of Pike’s Peak where a picnic area was established. One sales person remarked to me that the view was astounding from this vantage point. Looking at the rolling hills surrounding us and noting burned out and browned vegetation from a drought situation, one remarked that the view displayed was too scrubby and dry for my liking. 79 I was asked to cover a market where the salesman assigned could not cover his territory for a short period of time due to personal circumstances. While setting appointments and planning the itinerary, I was offered a piece of cake to eat by an employee of the organization. I expressed thanks for the offering and proceeded to take a bite of this cake. As I proceeded to bite into the cake their seemed to be a reconsideration of thought on the offering of this treat, as I was told that the cake contained hashish. Increasingly, I was made aware of problems with the “draw against commission” salary system of the company which was implemented for the sales representatives. This method of payment advanced a set salary that was paid to sales representatives regularly but was deducted from their end of the season commission once the merchandise was shipped. In other words, sales people worked only on a commission basis but most of the future commissions expected to be paid to the sales representatives were advanced to them, through as I recall bi-monthly salary checks. This system caused much anxiety to the sales people not only regarding the placement of orders but also regarding the shipping of orders. Sometimes, due to internal manufacturing problems the apparel was not shipped on time resulting in retail buyers threatening to cancel orders because of untimely seasonal deliveries. Sometimes orders were cancelled, leaving the sales representative indebted to the company for the commissions already paid to the sales representative. One thought this salary system to be unjust because the sales representatives were held responsible for manufacturing and shipping problems that were beyond their control. One can further realize how a person or a particular person, who is perhaps targeted by evil, could be rendered financially bankrupt due to this system. As fiance’ and I had arranged to marry in the summer, I stated to my parents that fiance’ and I would be vacationing for a long weekend in May at a beach area in a nearby state. Mother was aggravated at this statement and informed me that I was to wait for these excursions until after our marriage was official. Not wishing to cause consternation with mother and father just prior to our wedding, I cancelled these plans. Fiance’ and I were marrying on Saturday July 25. Arrangements were made with a travel agent for a honeymoon in Jamaica. I was annoyed that the costs for airline and hotel were considerably higher for a Sunday departure as compared with a Saturday departure. I invited all of the workers in the office where I worked to the wedding and the reception. Most of them sent back the response card stating that they would be attending. At the wedding rehearsal in a Catholic Church, I was informed that the traditional “Ava Maria” would be played on the church organ after the marriage ceremony. I was a bit disappointed and expressed this to church members who officiated over weddings as I was hoping that “Here Comes the Bride” would be played. I was pleased that during the ceremony “Ava Maria” was played on the walk to the altar and “Here Comes the Bride” was played on the walk from the altar at the conclusion of the ceremony. After the Catholic Church ceremony the traditional rice, apparently symbolizing fertility was over abundantly thrown at spouse and I. By the end of the 1980’s, bird seed was thrown at just married couples and by the 1990’s, bubbles were blown as the couple left the church. It is interesting to note that during the medieval times, flower petals were tossed at the 80 newlyweds. At the wedding reception the table designated for office workers from the office of my employment was left empty, costing my family a considerable amount of money. On our honeymoon, a friendly chap who was Jamaican, asked us if we would like to explore the surrounding area near the hotel where we were staying. We replied yes as we continued our friendly conversation and walking at the same time. We walked for a short distance and suddenly found ourselves in a maze like area, where people were gardening with machetes’. He then asked us for money regarding this “tour”. Unable to find our way back, we provided him with one quarter of the amount asked for. One night in summer while driving home from mother and fathers house to our apartment and on a major highway, our car began to experience mechanical trouble. The car was pulled over to a grassy area on the side of the road where spouse and I contemplated a course of action with regard to this incident. Spouse decided to venture out into the dark to telephone a local service station to tow the car off of the highway and then to repair the vehicle. Upon returning from a local service station, spouse informed me that the highway authority has contracts with a select few service stations based on the highway location of the inoperable vehicle. Spouse stated to me that a service station located many miles away would be sending a tow truck based on this highway authority contractual agreement. After waiting for a considerable amount of time, a tow truck finally arrived to remove the car from the highway and to provide a ride for spouse and I to the repair station. At the service station the repair was promptly accomplished where apparently there were several issues and problems with the vehicle resulting in what one considered to be exorbitant charges. One suspected corruption regarding these repairs but realized that there was little spouse and I could do and so paid the costly bill by credit card. In August, spouse and I received our wedding photograph proofs where we selected some of these photographs to be enlarged and incorporated into wedding albums. Some of the photographs were weird as the photographer super imposed our faces in unnatural settings. For example, spouse and I were shown in one photograph looking down from the ceiling of the Church at our wedding ceremony. It is debatable but probably likely that this kind of distortion of reality is immoral. As time transpired, it became obvious that that the autumn months of 1981 consisted of either spouse or I having to leave on a business trip, leaving little to no time for the “one year after the marriage honeymoon”. By 1982, I tried not to let the agendas of others interfere in the harmony and peace in my life. It is most appropriate at this time to divulge to the reader my personal views on an intimate relationship between a loving couple who are obligated and entrusted to one another. A person’s reproductive organs have always been considered by me to be “sacred ground”, which means that these parts of the body should never be violated, and will inspire a wrath of God against the individual and society, if they are violated. Some examples of violations against reproductive organs include: abortion, birth control devices that are inserted or worn, douches, tampons, genital mutilation, thermometers, and the unnatural entry of anything that is not as God the Creator of nature intended these organs to function. Throughout our marriage, spouse and I subscribed to an aspect of the natural family planning method 81 that gave us the desired number of children that we felt at that time, that we could spend time loving, caring for, providing for, disciplining, teaching, and managing. Retrospective: Without making a promise, as many times unforeseeable circumstances occur especially in an evil society, a person should try to abide by agreements to provide for a positive moral view of the individual and societal stability. All people should be provided with decent living quarters. Also, consider that perhaps dismal living areas may be purposely located near port authorities, as an unspoken threat to people commuting into cities. The strange events in Denver, Colorado that occurred during a short period of time were eerie and surreal. The job in the city exposed me to the immoralities of perversions, trickery, thievery, and assaults. To revive and refresh oneself during the work day, everyone should be expected to take a short mid day recess from work. My poor performance in the golf game was not due to my inability to hold onto the golf club. If I had eaten the hashish cake, I would have been physically incapacitated for at least two days and afflicted in other ways. Honoring your father and mother provides one at minimum, with a supportive family. Taking advantage of certain situations of people to earn more money is corrupt. Some people take advantage of others predicaments to steal from them. One also questions the legality of highway service station contracts to perhaps include other government and select business arrangements that serve the public, unless the lowest prices are obtained in serving the public through these contracts. Accepting an invitation to an event and then not attending the event (unless an unusual problem arises) is bad manners. Threatening and confusing people to acquire money, is immoral and corrupt as shown in the example of the Jamaican tour. A good way to gain an understanding of the reproductive organs is to acknowledge these parts of the body as “sacred ground”. It is necessary to also note that birth control pills and other birth control devices that do not violate the concept of “sacred ground” are none the less immoral and dangerous. The long and short term consequences of using these drugs can result in damages to other organs in the body, as the human body is an interrelated system. In addition, some religious groups such as Catholics, Orthodox Jews, and Shiite Moslems have condemned the use of certain birth control devices (read the Commentary on Abortion), because they can end a human life in violation of Commandment VI. An evil society desires to dissolve personal relationships between people. Had I known that invasions of personal privacy were occurring whether frequent or infrequent and recognized the implications of this fact, it is likely that I would not have “married”. Instead, I probably would have remained single, chaste, and focused most all of my attention and energy on a job. Historical Accounts 1981: 35 The Soviet Union initiates the popular western daylight savings time on April 1. An assassination attempt is made against Pope John Paul II on May 13. “Propaganda Due”, results in the resignation of the Italian government on May 26. The rock and roll band The Rolling Stones begins a “Tattoo You” tour on September 25. 82 A NASA test of the Columbia Space Shuttle results in three workers killed. Remarks: The Communist Soviet Union wishes to conserve energy as well. A professed Communist, attempts to assassinate Pope John Paul II that results in the transport of Catholic Popes by a protected pope mobile. The Masonic government in Italy is apparently deposed. A greater number of people begin to have themselves tattooed thus resulting in the defilement of their bodies by wizards. 1982 In January, I was beginning to become disgruntled with many aspects of American Society. Amongst problems of increased immorality, I noticed that people in general were becoming more abrupt, nasty, and combative. Seeking to make a change from this environment, I applied for spouse and me to immigrate to Australia. Hearing positive reviews about this country and the people, I believed this nation to be a congenial and friendlier place to live. An application for permanent residency was filed through the Australian Consulate in a city. I was disappointed and insulted when our application for permanent residency in Australia was returned denied. The reason stated for the denial was that business and commerce people were not needed in the country. Teachers were cited as needed and given priority for immigration. I decided that a job change was necessary after hearing from another employee that I was hired to satisfy the government’s requirement for business firms to hire people to comply with “Affirmative Action”. I regarded this comment as the “final straw”. To think that I was hired not for qualities to aid the organization in achieving sales goals, but rather to satisfy a government requirement was beyond insulting. I applied for and was hired by another apparel firm for the position of showroom manager. Prior to beginning this new employment spouse and I vacationed in Aruba. This island was a pleasant place to visit as no poverty could be visibly ascertained. Most all of the people living there appeared to have a nice home. We stayed at a small resort on the island that did not have a casino. Speaking with the native people, I was informed about a desalinization system to supply the needed fresh water to the island’s inhabitants. I was impressed with this idea and thought that other countries could satisfy drought situations using this technology. I was however, alerted to the fact that aquatic animals including coral reefs were dying due to the high concentrations of salt that were dumped back into the ocean following the desalinization process. Our stay at this small resort was peaceful and enjoyable. One night however, we did attend a gambling casino of another larger resort. At one point spouse and I were winning money, and then lost the money plus more. I found this activity to be anxiety producing, aggravating, nerve wracking, and not a pleasant way to spend vacation time. I began my new job directly after returning from vacation and was immediately put on guard when I was introduced to another woman who was hired for the same position as I. Both the other woman and I were not made aware on the interviews that two people would be hired for the same position. I sensed that one of us would be dismissed after a trial period. Both the other woman and I were compatible, and so neither of us lost this job. The other woman eventually requested and was granted a transfer to 83 another state. The manager of the office was a young middle aged woman who dressed in brightly colored clothing, with shoes to match and sported plenty of costume jewelry. I admired her courage in wearing these ensembles and wished for the same courage to wear like outfits, when reaching her age. There was a woman who worked in this office who had recently given birth and had returned to work shortly thereafter. She brought a device into the office that I had never seen before. It was a breast pump. The woman excused herself to the ladies room several times during the day to pump milk from her breasts to supply the daycare provider with milk for the employee’s baby. I believed this media promoted phenomena, to be animalistic and dehumanizing, the equivalent of treating a woman like a cow or goat. From time to time, models were hired to help promote the sales of apparel. I noticed that one model had white powder on her face. Informing her of what I thought to be talc under her nose, resulted in plenty of office laughter. I was later informed that this was not talc, but cocaine. To partially divert ourselves from the plight of other people, spouse and I decided to buy a house and move from our apartment that we rented after our marriage, near the city. After reviewing real estate newspaper advertisements we decided to investigate a house in a small city area of New Jersey. This house was an older colonial on a small lot of property. It contained seven bedrooms, a nice living area, a full finished basement, on a maintenance manageable lot of property for an inexpensive price. Both spouse and I wanted to purchase this first house viewed. A family member however inspected the house and stated that the house posed a hazard due to old electrical wiring. In the autumn we investigated an old cottage, near to parent’s home that was dilapidated and in dire need of repairs. Father was optimistic that these repairs and an addition could be completed at a reasonable cost. Based on this advice and the parental offering of repair and construction assistance and an interim loan, spouse and I decided to purchase this home. It was believed by family members that the house would not pass a bank inspection without major repairs and renovations. Mother and father loaned spouse and I some money until a mortgage could be secured with a bank, when at that time, spouse and I would repay the loan. A new supermarket was constructed in the vicinity of our apartment of residence. One decided to visit this new store during the time of its “grand opening”. After grocery shopping at this new supermarket and proceeding to the register to pay for these items I saw for the first time a checkout system that was based on inventory bar codes. Each item was scanned through a computer system where a computerized and electronic voice would state to the customer the price of each item scanned. I did not like the system due to its impersonal nature, the hypnotic electronic voice stating each price of an item (implemented perhaps as a way of brainwashing customers among other reasons), and the possibility that customers could be overcharged for items because the grocery items were not individually price labeled. Therefore, I returned to shop at an older supermarket in the area that ticketed each item with its price and where I could view the price of each item displayed on the register at the time of checkout. Beginning in October of this year, our weekends were spent demolishing and discarding old and rotten materials from the small house. As it turned out, more of the house needed to be demolished than was 84 originally thought. An architect was hired to plan a new home, combining the salvageable areas of the old home, with the new. To save money, mother and father were in charge of hiring subcontractors. We quickly realized that to hire workers paying an hourly wage, resulted in the hired help working at an extremely slow pace. Hourly paid foundation workers were dismissed due to the slow completion of the job, thus exceeding our budget for this work. Mother, father, brother, spouse, and I finished the foundation work by podging over the cinder block with cement. Carpenters were hired to frame and roof the house. Fortunately, the roof was on the house before winter weather struck saving us possible damages to the interior plywood used as a base for flooring. By the end of winter, the outside shell of the house was complete. Retrospective: Perhaps some people are not permitted to emigrate by governments unless they agree with societal immoralities. A person should be informed on the job interview that he or she is being hired because of an “Affirmative Action” issue with the government. Realize, that some people may not want to work for a firm, where the firm has been somewhat forced into hiring a particular group of people. Affirmative Action programs could also negatively affect work relationships within a company. If more than one person is being hired for the same position, potential employers should inform the prospective employee of this fact on the job interview. It should be noted that coral reefs are being destroyed throughout the Caribbean. One hypothesizes that perhaps other Caribbean countries’ coral reefs are also being adversely affected by desalinization processes where high levels of salt are released into the sensitive ocean ecosystems of that area. As many know, ocean currents are of a largely contained circular pattern in that region of the world. I began to realize how widespread the illegal drug problem is in this country when I began interacting with people from different professions, in the city. I still think about how my life may have been different, had spouse and I purchased the first house we viewed and were interested in buying. By the time of the completion of this book, all major retail stores used computerized billing and receipt system where merchandise is not labeled with a price and is scanned very quickly, which does not allow the customer time to view a price during the time of checkout (the computerized voice stating the price was eliminated within a short time of this year). In addition, merchandise that is higher in price is many times placed on shelves that are labeled with a lower price resulting in higher charges. Also, computer inputs sometimes do not reflect the price shown for an item on the shelf of display resulting in a higher price charged to the customer. To assist in solving these problems all merchandise should be individually ticketed with the cost of the product. Also, some of these suspected purposeful “bait and switch” practices of some retail stores are corrupt and against written laws of this land which are unfortunately increasingly not enforced by the authorities. Historical Accounts 1982: 36 Eight planets in the solar system align on one side of the sun on March 10. An assassination attempt is made on Pope John Paul II on May 12. Many countries agree not to participate in the killing of whales and join with the International Whaling Commission to end the slaughter of whales worldwide on July 23. 85 An earthquake in Yemen on December 13 kills over two thousand people. People are murdered in the United States due to product tampering by the deranged. Italy beats West Germany to win the world soccer cup. NASA launches the Columbia Space Shuttle for three different missions. Remarks: An unusual astrological event occurs that happens only about every one hundred years. A priest attempts to stab Pope John Paul II, while on a visit to Fatima, Portugal. Product safety seals and other tamper proof packaging are the results of the murders apparently tied to a pain relief medication. Today however, some tamper proof packaging, makes accessing the product extremely difficult. Also, some tamper proof packaging is now attached to products that are not ingested, causing considerable aggravation. 1983 By late winter, spouse and I relinquished our small apartment close to the city of our employment and moved in with mother and father. This temporary situation allowed us more time to work on the construction of our home after work hours and save money on the apartment rent. We were however back to the same grueling long commute as prior to our marriage. We purchased attractive solid oak kitchen cabinets second hand from someone who was renovating their kitchen with white Formica. Spouse and I saved thousands of dollars on this buy. Brother and I tiled the bathrooms, spouse installed all the interior molding, father in law built a shed, and all family members painted the interior of the house and floored the kitchen. Workers were hired to install wood flooring in other areas of the house. Subcontractors installed the sheetrock, electrical, insulation, and plumbing. One time, mother brought a case of beer to some construction workers. This good will gesture resulted in mistakes made in that particular area of construction. Still without heating, spouse, I, and a newly acquired dog moved into the house in early May. The furnace selected to heat the house was a computerized energy efficient furnace that caused considerable trouble during the first several years of operation requiring plumbers to circumvent certain aspects of the initial installation. We quickly realized that the warranty on the furnace was not worth much. This computerized, energy efficient furnace was very expensive to fix and was extremely noisy, growling and popping constantly during its twenty seven years of operation. A bank mortgage was secured for an annual variable rate of twelve and one half percent. Fixed rate mortgages were at about seventeen percent at that time, prompting spouse and I to select the variable rate. Father and mother were repaid the money borrowed during the several months construction time frame. A few years later, we obtained a thirty year fixed rate mortgage at about a twelve percent interest with a local bank. I was perturbed when the mortgage we obtained through a local bank was sold to an out of state bank more than a thousand miles away. I was also annoyed at a bank requirement stipulating that a seven hundred dollar credit card balance (our only outstanding debt 86 besides the mortgage) had to be paid before we could secure the fixed rate mortgage. The selling of the mortgage resulted in the escrow account withholding to be increased from one year to one and a half years reserve, causing a financial hardship to spouse and I. Our summer vacation was spent in Maine, at a rented ocean front two family house that we would return to a few times over the next five years or so. On our last visit to this house, the ocean at high tide was under the pilings of the house that caused the dwelling to shake causing concern to spouse and I. There was also a for sale sign in the front of the house that the ocean apparently had bought, because in a subsequent visit to this area in Maine a short time later, the house had disappeared. In October, spouse and I had decided to view a movie after eating dinner that was showing at a local cinema. The dinner dishes were cleaned but hot food that was left over, remained on the kitchen counter to cool. Our young dog was confined to the laundry room as she could be destructive at times by chewing on furnishings. Spouse and I then left the house for this two hour movie. Upon our return, we entered the kitchen and noticed a door molding detached from the frame. I remarked to spouse that he did not use enough nails when installing the moldings. Then I saw the left over dinner on the table with utensils and a bottle of half consumed beer. Realizing that someone had entered our house, I ran around the home checking rooms. The dog was safe, but our belongings were burglarized. All my gold, gemstone, and silver jewelry were gone and spouse’s commuting bus tickets were stolen. We called the police and filed a report. Later, I thought about a small half dollar coin collection owned which was contained in a coin bank. This bank as I remarked to spouse several times over the year, was very well hidden and the hiding place was divulged to spouse. The bank was inside of a wall unit cabinet behind record albums and other papers. When I went to retrieve this bank, I realized that it too was stolen. I wondered for many years how the burglar found this bank and eventually resigned myself to the fact that he was probably a professional “cat burglar”. I was extremely upset after this incident, feeling personally violated. In addition, irreplaceable family heirlooms were stolen causing additional grief. During the week after the burglary, I prayed to “Italian grandfather in heaven” that the burglar be caught. I thought about praying to God, but reconsidered that God was too busy to be concerned with my stolen jewelry. By the following weekend, father telephoned the house of friends that we were visiting that evening, to inform me of the apprehension of the burglar by the police. I could not believe what I just heard and asked him why he was notified. Father told me that the burglar was caught burglarizing another person’s home and he was wearing my high school ring with my name engraved inside the ring. Spouse and I quickly left the home of friends and drove to the police station where the burglar was being held. In a hurry, I drove with the hazard lights on my vehicle. Someone driving in front of me did not pull over but instead, would not let me pass. This one sided game went on for some time. I remarked to spouse that if someone was ill, a deranged individual like the one driving in front of me, could cause the death of a person. After arriving at the police station, I was informed that this burglar was out on parole from a state prison. He also was a drug addict and apparently desperate for money to support his habit. Although I never saw the burglar, they asked me to pick him out of a five man lineup. I stated that a sneaker foot 87 print left on my kitchen door, as he kicked the door in to gain entry to our home, suggested the thief was small in stature. And so, I picked out the smallest man in the lineup, who was indeed the burglar. Unfortunately, all of the items stolen except for my high school ring were not retrieved. The police had originally stated that they retrieved a Seiko watch that I owned and perhaps a few other non descript items from the burglars home, but these items were no longer available when I telephoned two police stations (due to different jurisdictions), to pick them up. The burglar stated that the jewelry was sold to a pawn store in the city. For a short period of time, I checked a few pawn stores in the city to see if my stolen jewelry was displayed. Early one morning, prior to sunrise and following my work morning routine, I sleepily entered the kitchen to prepare the coffee. Deciding to have a piece of cake for breakfast, I reached to a cake box that was set on top of the refrigerator and placed it on the kitchen counter. Upon opening the box, a rat jumped out startling me and putting me on high alert as it jumped off of the kitchen counter. My dog chased the rat to a corner of the living room where a base board radiator pipe came up from the basement. I watched this animal mold its body like gelatin, to squeeze through the opening in the floor cut for the pipe. I took a break from work to investigate remedies for this situation at a local city hardware store. The clerk recommended first putting out rat poison. I objected to this method of exterminating the rodent because of my fears that the dog and other benign animals may eat the poison. The clerk then suggested rat traps, baited with peanut butter. I agreed to try this method and so purchased the rat traps and a jar of peanut butter. The only animal caught with the rat traps was my dog. After several unsuccessful attempts at catching the rat using this method, I resorted to the clerk’s first recommendation of using a rat poison which was placed in the attic and half basement to avoid ingestion by our dog, which finally did away with the critter. In later years, daughter complained about a mouse that had invaded her home. She too tried mouse traps that were ineffective. Discussing this matter with her, I suggested that she use poison to rid herself of this (or probably these) creatures once and for all. She stated that she would place the poison in the kitchen where she had seen a mouse. With a dog and a child I suggested that the poison be placed in the attic. She stated to me that the mouse is not in the attic, it is in the kitchen, but she decided to follow my advice for a short time. Within a week, the pesky critter(s) was gone. In conjunction with this advice, I would also recommend that ant traps be placed on a high shelf in a home as family pets and possibly young children are attracted to this poison as well. At the end of the year, I came to expect a bonus from my employer. For this Christmas, all the women in the office received a red purse. Upon opening the purse, I anticipated the end of the year bonus to be inside. The purse was empty. One day after cashing my paycheck at a bank in the area of my employment, a well dressed man in a three piece suit bumped into me in the bank lobby. I turned to my left, and noticed his hand in my purse. Grabbing hold of his wrist and then his other arm, I summoned for help. At that point, another man bumped into me causing me to release the pick pocket. Both men quickly departed from the bank. No money or other items were taken. 88 Retrospective: A God given energy of youth allowed spouse and I to work long hours in the city and then to work late hours on the building project of our home. If it is possible, a fifteen year mortgage is a more sensible loan to obtain. Bankers lose a good rapport with customers when they sell customer loans to another financial institution. It was a dangerous situation to stay in a home where the ocean was under the house and immoral to rent a vacation house under these circumstances. At the time, I had a wrong view of God. God is personal and is everywhere. To this day, I wonder how the burglar found the bank of coins. After the burglary, I felt like everything in the house was dirty. If someone is flashing hazard lights on their vehicle, there is obviously a problem. Other drivers should be courteous and considerate of this fact and let the driver of such a vehicle pass. People addicted to drugs are the cause of much crime. Eliminating the evil of drugs from a society should be a priority for all. Be aware, that dress presentation in the case of the well dressed pick pockets, can be used to steal or inflict other harm as people usually “let their guard down” among well dressed and groomed individuals. Historical Accounts 1983: 37 A man receives six years in prison for bigamy on April 11. State abortion restrictions in the United States are declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on June 15. 38 Sally Ride becomes the first United States woman in space on June 18. Riots in Sri Lanka in July, result in approximately three thousand people dead. The first sustainable embryo transfer from one woman to another occurs in July resulting in a February 3, 1984 human birth. A recording of the lowest temperature on earth is found in Antarctica at -89.2 degrees Celsius on July 21. Several situations of alert occur in nuclear plants around the world. NASA’s Pioneer 10 is the first space vehicle to exit the solar system. Remarks: Do bigamy laws still apply in the society, where the religious sacrament of marriage itself is in question? Some human beings increasingly interfere in matters of God regarding procreation which results in all people living in the society to be harmed. Nuclear power plants are proven to be accident prone and dangerous. Individual States in the United States continue to lose autonomy and authority. 1984 By early February, those in the office of my employment were made aware of serious problems at the firms manufacturing facility in Italy, where the apparel was obtained for resale through our office. In 89 March, goods were still not available resulting in the dismissal of most all of the workers, including myself. I was relieved with this occurrence as I discovered that a baby would be born to spouse and me in September. Waiting for the designated time period, unemployment insurance covered about half of my weekly salary for six months. I did however show an earnest attempt at finding a job to the New York State Unemployment office. I obtained several interviews, but was not hired most likely due to the pregnancy. During this relaxed time and unhurried environment, I accomplished jobs around the house and assisted mother with her employment, gratis. In the spring, mother and father invited spouse and I to attend with them a Sunday buffet brunch offered at a hotel located on the premises of the prestigious military academy located near to our homes. It had been years since I visited this academy and was surprised and pleased that the academy hotel was offering a buffet brunch opened for attendance by the general public. Expecting the usual pancake breakfast with eggs, hash browns, sausage, and bacon with perhaps deli meats and rolls to be displayed and offered, one was in awe upon entering the dining room. I viewed the most sumptuous gourmet food including expensive smoked fish and shell fish and costly cuts of beef all available for unlimited dining at a low price. I wondered and questioned how the establishment could realize a profit from such an extravagant yet inexpensive offering. As the years progressed, these kinds of Sunday brunch buffets were and are available at many varied restaurant establishments throughout the United States An important factor and criteria in selecting an obstetrician was that the physician did not provide abortion procedures. I did not want the first hands holding my child to be the hands of an abortionist. It was difficult to find a physician meeting the above criteria. Eventually, through the recommendation of an acquaintance a physician was found who was purported not to engage in abortion practices. Another factor considered in the selection of an obstetrician, was that the physician have a low rate of cesarean birth deliveries. I did not want a surgery that would result in the scarring of the uterus thus limiting my potential for future conceptions and/or births of children. I was also concerned about health problems that could arise later in life, due to this procedure. The initial examination began with me stating that I confirmed my pregnancy through a store purchased pregnancy determination kit. A physical examination however, was still required that included an internal administered by the physician. After this rough procedure, I felt sick and thought that I may suffer a miscarriage because of this routine obstetrical protocol. A gel like substance was then applied to my abdomen and then an electronic device resembling a microphone was placed upon the gel. The physician informed me that this was an ultra sound stethoscope to obtain the heartbeat of the baby. One thought that this discomforting device had the potential to be dangerous. I arrived home, rested and then drove to the pharmacy to purchase the prescribed vitamin pills. At about this time, I noticed pregnant women on exercise television shows, exercising vigorously. I was confused watching this and thought this to be a dangerous situation for the continued viability of the developing baby. Questioning 90 the physician on this, the statement was that this kind of exercise was fine. The physician scheduled a glucose tolerance test at the office to test for diabetes. Prior to attending this appointment, I was outside mowing the lawn. Hot and thirsty, I drank about a quart or more of sugary ice tea just prior to the physician’s appointment. Needless to say, the results of the test returned positive for an above normal sugar content in my blood necessitating a visit to a laboratory where my blood was taken at about one hour intervals for about four hours. Later in the pregnancy, the physician suggested an ultrasound procedure. I stated my objections to this, innately believing ultrasound to be possibly dangerous and untrustworthy and so declined this suggestion. It was also suggested that I take a test to determine if the baby I was carrying, had spinal bifida. I rejected this test, realizing that if the results were positive then perhaps abortion would be recommended which I would reject rendering the test useless. As the delivery time approached, it was stated to me that the physician would be away on vacation during the time that our baby was due and that a substitute physician would be on call if the baby was not born within a week. I was infuriated when informed of the substitute physician as this physician was also a known abortion provider. As it turned out, the baby was born within the week. My last visit to the physician’s office prior to the birth, involved an uninformed painful internal where membranes were stripped causing an early labor situation. A day or two later a full labor situation began, when at that time I was admitted to a local hospital. There, a shot of Pitocin was administered causing extremely painful contractions. No pain medication or procedures were offered to me nor were any asked for by me. Our baby girl was born naturally on a Saturday afternoon, appeared healthy and alert, and provided me with a grand diversion from the earlier bad experiences. The birth of my daughter was probably the happiest day of my life. Throughout the two nights at the hospital, I was constantly awakened for blood pressure and temperature checks and other requirements. I was anxious to leave with our baby and was discharged two days later on Monday. The total costs for a routine budget delivery (tests, prescription drugs, and other procedures were declined) was about $8000. Weeks later, I reviewed the hospital bill. Most of the costs were astronomical including a charge of $22 for an acetaminophen (Tylenol) tablet (by 2013 the cost of this tablet rose to $60). One contacted the hospital regarding these vociferous overcharges to complain when subsequently one was informed by a hospital official that people with health care insurance pay for those without insurance, through their insurance plans. I stated to spouse that taxpayers should pay for those people without medical insurance not the people with private medical insurance plans. The obstetrical, pediatric, and hospital costs were largely (85%) covered by job provided insurance. Still, overcharging for products and services, results in all people paying more through insurance plans and taxes. And, if those with insurance plans are truly paying for those individuals without insurance then insured people should be made aware of this fact and the real charges of medicines and procedures should be billed accurately and not inflated to cover those without insurance. Perhaps an additional surcharge added to the bill can be implemented, to pay for those who do not have medical insurance. At home, baby, spouse, and I quickly settled into a routine. The day was organized basically on a schedule with some flexibility that provided for the smooth functioning of the household. I decided not 91 to breast feed because the expected uterine contractions due to this method of feeding the infant provided me with an uncomfortable and unnatural sensation. In conjunction with my philosophy that the genitals, to include those of infants and children are “sacred ground”, the touching of these parts of the body of children was to me immoral and abhorrent. Whenever changing diapers, a tissue, baby wipe, or wash cloth was used as an intermediary to attend to the necessary removal of excrements or to the applications of ointments applied to our infant children. A first priority after arriving home was to make arrangements for our daughter’s baptismal with the Catholic Church. A friend and brother agreed to accept the responsibility of godparents. Daughter was baptized at seven weeks post birth. A large party to celebrate this event was given at our home which thoroughly exhausted me. One afternoon in middle December, I decided to put my infant daughter out on the deck for some fresh air. I bundled her up, placed her in a blanketed stroller and wheeled her onto the deck, off of our kitchen, in a quiet backyard. As I was cleaning the kitchen, I looked out of the kitchen glass doors from time to time to check on her. On the last glance, I saw an American pit bull terrier with his head in the baby stroller. Petrified, I remained calm and coaxed the dog away from the stroller. I was relieved and thankful that the baby was fine. An elderly woman who I was acquainted with was seriously ill and hospitalized. In years prior, this pleasant woman spoke to me about the history of the area of our residences in the 1940’s. I sensed a quaint nostalgia when she spoke of the many herds of deer seen throughout the area during this time. I surmised that the past rural nature of the community was the reason for the abundance of deer which were rarely, if ever seen roaming the many populated neighborhoods of this era’s community. Later and by 2000, the community of our residence and neighborhoods were inundated with many deer, pheasants, wild turkeys, coyotes, occasionally bears, and other unusual untamed wildlife. The reason for this phenomenon is an enigma based on my past instruction and experience related to the behavioral nature of wildlife. Deciding to visit this kind lady in the hospital one afternoon, dinner was delivered to her room while I was in attendance. She was too weak to feed herself so I fed her. On my way out of the care unit in the hospital, I saw many food trays being retrieved in the hallway, untouched by the patients. Spouse while on a business trip for a corporation, inadvertently left a satchel containing the receipts for the hotel, meals, and transportation costs of this trip on the seat of a taxi cab resulting in these business expense verifications becoming lost. Upon arriving home and after explaining this situation to his superior, it was stated that because of spouses’ inattentiveness regarding this matter, he would not be reimbursed by the corporation for these business expenses. On hearing this reply, one was flabbergasted and completely disgusted and stated to spouse that a person cannot be a human being in this company who occasionally errs. After paying a substantial credit card bill for this corporate business trip, spouse procured a job with another corporation in 1985. 92 Retrospective: When manufacturing ceases, many become unemployed. Losing a job at this time largely was a godsend as I was able to remove much stress during this circumstance of my life. Most employers understandably do not hire pregnant women. To this day, one is suspicious of the motivation behind a gourmet buffet offered at an inexpensive price where logically no or little profit is realized from this endeavor. The situation of pregnancy, in some way provided me with a considerable sense of vulnerability as I had to solely rely on my spouse for financial support, confidence, and worthiness. Some obstetrical procedures are invasive, unnecessary, and cause psychological distress to the patient. It is not logical or reasonable to accept the fact that about half of today’s births, necessitate a cesarean section. Why would a physician who does not provide abortions, enlist a substitute who does provide abortions? Ultrasounds deliver sound waves through barriers to provide one with an image of the baby in the womb. Remedy specialists have stated that this procedure is safe for an unborn child because of the low levels of decibels used to gain an image of the baby. Many times these images of the unborn child are blurred probably due to the low level of sound waves administered. Ultrasound photography studios however promise a clearer image of an unborn child likely due to the use of a higher level of sound waves administered to the unborn child. Beware, that sound waves do cause damages to various materials and as many know, high decibel sound waves can break glass. So how much more susceptible and vunerable is the fragile unborn child to this technology? In addition and throughout subsequent years, one increasingly noted that incrementally to 2013, more and more children were suffering from varying degrees of mental retardation and physical and developmental disabilities and handicaps. One suspects that ultrasound and amniocentesis are responsible for two, among other factors of these lamentable circumstances of many of today’s youths. So if this hypothesis is correct then the very instruments and procedures used to identify certain and specific defects in human beings for mainly abortion purposes, may be actually inflicting other undetectable defects on the developing human being within the womb. Do not ingest sugary substances just prior to a glucose tolerance test. It is interesting and worth researching a comparison of costs, average salaries paid during these times and insurance plans, together with the accommodations of obstetrical care in 1958 with 1984. Individuals should review all costs associated with covered insurance plans and complain to insurance companies and those issuing the bills when charges are outlandishly high, to help reduce the insurance costs for everyone. Neighbors should not allow their dogs to freely run around the neighborhood. Perhaps the idea of a patient advocate presented in the Commentary on Remedies could assist with the difficulty of providing necessary nutrition to patients, who are unable to feed themselves. Historical Accounts 1984: 39 There are several child care sexual abuse stories in the media during the 1980’s. One of these stories is the McMartin Preschool abuse story of March 22. Indian troops kill an estimated two thousand people at a religious Sikh’s shrine on June 6. A young man in the United States remained in a coma for nineteen years beginning on July 13. He finally awakens in 2003. 93 After Sikh security guards assassinate Prime Minister Indira Gandi on October 31, anti Sikh riots cause the killing of perhaps twenty thousand or more Sikh’s in India over the next four days. A poisonous gas leak from a Union Carbide Chemical plant kills over eight thousand people and injures over one half million people with twenty three thousand people later dying of their injuries beginning on December 3. A famine in Ethiopia kills one million people. Two NASA astronauts accomplish the first tether free space walk. Remarks: It appears as though some children are being abused in daycare as their parents earn money at jobs. Many people in comas eventually regain consciousness and so should not be considered to be volunteer “organ donors” (as many times other people give apparent permission (mind control?) for the donation). One has noticed “cause and effect” situations in many of the historical accounts. A return to the following of The Ten Commandments, avoidance of Capital Sins and Abominations will hopefully curtail or greatly reduce worldwide violence and disasters. The poisonous gas leak in Bhopal, India detrimentally effects the environment to this day. 1985 Partially due to the loss of a second salary, spouse sought and was hired for a higher paying job within the industry of his experience. Still, we were on a very strict budget having sixty dollars a week for food and baby formula after all the bills were paid even though spouse had more than doubled his salary in just five years. The prices and costs of taxes and services such as utilities, insurances, various home repairs requiring the hiring of tradesman for examples, were skyrocketing. This necessitated stretching the dollar as far as it would go. Turkey, ham, chicken, chopped beef, and pasta, were the main food fare. Garage sales and rummage sales provided for the extras. This financial situation was all worth it to me as I was happy and enamored with our baby daughter and always seemed to manage to engage in pleasant activities with her costing little or no money. Returning to full time work to earn extra money was not worth the sacrifice of losing precious time with our baby. By the spring of 1985 however, I decided to seek part time employment to cover one particular debt that we had incurred. The position was for employment on holidays and weekends leaving husband to care for infant daughter. I applied for and was hired to work in a medical facility. Prior to employment, it was required that five medical tests be taken on my blood thus requiring five test tubes of blood. I reluctantly agreed to this requirement. Thinking the test tubes to be small (about three inches in height and a half inch in width, as seen in school laboratories), I was aghast to see the size of the test tubes used. They were about eight inches high and one inch wide. After taking this blood, I thought that I would faint and so was told to rest for awhile. The position was for a job where I had access to medical records. A record viewed contained information about a young woman who was the mother of a young child and who was pregnant with a second child. The woman and her unborn child died due to the 94 woman’s previous to the pregnancy, diagnosed diabetic condition. A short time later, I viewed the chart again, and noticed that large amounts of information regarding this woman’s death were removed. I left the job shortly thereafter. During the middle of the 1980’s, a new idea for living was touted and recommended to women in the United States known as the “supermom” philosophy. This idea was largely and heavily promoted through the mass media vehicles of magazines and television. The “supermom” worked full time (40 hours a week) with extra time needed for commuting. The “supermom” was a loving wife and mother of usually at least two minor children, who was actively engaged in the lives of family members. “Quality time” for family was promoted as being far more desirable than “quantity time”. This meant that about a half hour to one hour per day was spent on concentrated, intense time with family which was deemed more valuable than many hours spent with family in a relaxed atmosphere. The “supermom” was very well organized and managed the family’s life extraordinarily well. Setting appointments, scheduling, and early planning were key components to the success of this life style. In addition to scheduling “quality time”, “supermoms” also accomplished household work daily after their full time job and commute. The life philosophy of the “supermom”, made many traditional moms who stayed home with their families, sense feelings of inadequacy and incompetence. As I was always busy on a daily basis with child care, house, yard, and errand responsibilities I wondered how the “supermom” could physically and mentally accomplish so much in one day. A few years later and by the end of the 1980’s, stories began surfacing about young working moms who were becoming ill do to exhaustion and hectic, stressful days of work and family responsibilities. I realized then that the “supermom” philosophy was hogwash and evil in intent. Later the philosophy of the “stay at home dad” was promoted which I believe at this time, has fizzled. Probably for some couples, resentments between husband and wife surfaced perhaps due to a reversal of the traditional roles of men and women. Today, many parents of young and minor children work full time, relying mostly on paid help with the rearing of their family. It would be best for all concerned if the traditional family roles were reestablished. To possibly assist with this return process read the Commentary on Family shown at the end of this book. Beginning in the middle 1980’s through to the time when I last departed my home in 2005 one frequently experienced an anxiety related to the logistical thinking of mothers with children in shopping center parking lots. On frequent occasions one viewed while driving in the parking lot, young children left unattended by mothers who were busy loading packages and strollers into the trunks of their vehicles. These children at times would step or run onto the parking lot driveway causing considerable angst to those driving past the parked cars. It is also likely that children have become injured or have died due to the adults’ inattentiveness regarding this matter. Therefore one suggests that upon arrival at a shopping center parking location the adult should remove the stroller or carriage from the trunk of the vehicle prior to removing the child(ren) from the vehicle. After shopping, secure the child(ren) in the vehicle prior to placing items in the trunk of the vehicle. Retrospective: At that time, it was amazing how a determined person could stretch a dollar to make ends meet. For some examples, a ham or turkey can last all week and provide a new and different meal 95 every day. Garage, yard, and rummage sales provided all kinds of household goods and toys in almost perfect condition, for very little money. Turning down the thermostats and shutting off the lights when leaving a room considerably reduced our utility bill. All outside landscaping and yard upkeep was accomplished by spouse and I. Engaging in “do it yourself” projects reduced the hiring of tradesmen. Clipping coupons and stocking up on extraordinary priced sale items reduced our grocery bill. Using a hand towel instead of paper towels to dry hands reduced our costs of paper goods. Vacationing within driving distance and renting an inexpensive cottage where we prepared our own meals reduced vacation costs. Shopping at the end of the season for clothing and shoes for the following year reduced our costs for apparel. Confining celebrations and special events to the house, reduced entertainment costs. Filling the car gasoline tank half way reduced frivolous driving. Repairing holes in socks reduced the cost of hosiery. Adding insoles to sneakers prolongs the life of these shoes. Visiting farm stands in less expensive areas of the state provided fresh produce at a low price. The purchase of a less expensive economy car provided a savings in vehicle price and gasoline consumption. Beginning in the latter years of the 1990’s through 2013, it became increasingly clear to me that many people, especially the early middle aged and younger, do not know how to budget or to be thrifty with expenses resulting for some in huge debts and unpaid bills. Whether this behavior is due to a childhood where many hours were assigned to a daycare provider and/or is societal based (mind control?) is unknown to me. Possibly a lack of discipline is a factor as well. Day care providers often do not discipline a child thoroughly for bad behavior due to fears of litigation. “Time out” is the “catch all” style of disciplining today regardless of the type of bad behavior displayed. In the past there were many ways to discipline a child based on the poor behavior exhibited. Read the Commentary regarding this topic in Just Thoughts. In the 1960’s and before, budgeting limited funds was a major factor in maintaining the family’s well being. Nutritious meals were planned by mothers using food products that were on sale at the market. Sometimes large roasts of meat could provide through the cook’s use of ingenuity a varied and sumptuous meal for most of the week. Media supported the idea of stretching and reducing a food budget by depicting cooking shows demonstrating to viewers how to cook tasty meals on a small budget. Throughout the years, one usually subscribed to an American Indian and religious philosophy that food should not be discarded but eaten until finished. For example, all meat on a turkey should be eaten and the carcass used for a base broth in soup. Gristle or undesirable meat can be served to pets to reduce pet food costs. In the past, used clothing in good condition and toys were graciously accepted from relatives and friends whose children had outgrown these items. Children, many times also enjoyed wearing the clothing of an older and well respected relative or friend. Couples reviewed their finances together and agreed on how the available money would be apportioned, spent, and saved with future needs or potential future needs taken into consideration. Sometimes in reviewing bills together, couples would decide that some services were unnecessary or could be reduced resulting in substantial savings to the family. Through experience, one can tell another that these money saving suggestions when implemented can become over a short period of time fulfilling and satisfying accomplishments to family members. On the other hand, today some parents refuse to accept “hand me downs” from relatives and friends even when these items are in good to excellent condition. Some couples today do not combine their income and plan how their money is to be wisely spent and saved. Instead some money is contributed to the 96 household by the partners while other money is kept in an account for an individual’s exclusive use. One has noted that animosities and resentments surface in a couples’ relationship due to this arrangement. When I saw the size of the test tubes to take my blood for a job position, I should have walked out and found another job as this practice is, in one’s opinion an unethical requirement to obtain a job due to its’ pervasive invasiveness. Historical Accounts 1985: 40 Mohammed Al Fayed buys a famous London department store on March 11. About ten thousand people are killed in a cyclone on May 25 in Bangladesh. A powerful earthquake kills over nine thousand five hundred people in Mexico on September 19. The first of a series of video game systems is released on October 18. A volcano erupts in Colombia on November 13 killing twenty three thousand people. The first Arabic Muslim travels in space for NASA as a payload specialist. Remarks: Muslim’s become more visibly involved in the Western world. Three natural disasters result in the deaths of many people. Attention deficit disorders in children become more prevalent at about the same time video game systems are marketed to the youth. 1986 The winter of this year was a gloomy one. A childhood friend had died at the young age of twenty eight years old from what I believed to be an illness caused by over exposure to environmental toxins. I attended the wake and funeral. At about the same time, I began to hear about other high school classmates who had died or were seriously ill. It was about at this time that I began to believe that we were being overcharged for our school, town, county, and local taxes. Our house was shown on the tax rolls to have been newly built in 1983. I stated to spouse that at least one third of the house rests on an old foundation. The fireplace and some exterior walls were also from the original building built sometime in the 1930’s. A family member suggested that I research other houses in the neighborhood comparing their home and taxes with ours and provide this information, together with the information concerning the old sections of our house to the town assessor. I researched houses in the immediate surrounding area built in the 1970’s. In some cases, the square footage of these homes was considerably larger than ours, and they were paying less in taxes. I delivered this information to the town assessor together with the information concerning the older sections of our home. I requested that our assessment be pro- rated or averaged and reduced based on the sections of the home constructed in the 1930’s. After a short time, I was notified by mail that our application and request for assessment reduction was denied. Sometime later in the early 1990’s, I was informed that many people in town were hiring private firms to reduce their home 97 assessment and hence their town, county, local, and school taxes. I believed this to be corrupt because these private tax reductions effected public funds and so I refused to participate in this scheme. In February, I was elated to learn that spouse and I would be anticipating the birth of our second child in early October. I returned back to the physician who attended to the birth of my daughter. Knowing what to expect, I declined all unnecessary tests and ultrasounds and remembered not to ingest anything sugary before the glucose tolerance test. The pregnancy was routine however I refrained from mowing the lawn due to an experienced abdominal pain during one grass cutting. This resulted in tall grass growing in our yard with snakes enjoying this habitat, during the times of spouse’s business trips, which were sometimes quite lengthy. I developed varicose veins on one leg, that trouble me from time to time, to this day. By about middle October, the baby was more than a week and a half past due and so the physician stated on a Friday that an inducement would be necessary by the following Monday. On Saturday night, my labor began at about 9:30pm. I telephoned the physician’s home to state that my labor had begun with the time given between contractions. The physician’s spouse answered the telephone and asked me to hold for the physician. I was holding on the telephone for more than one half hour. The spouse returned and asked if I was still holding on the line. I replied yes, the spouse apologized and once again summoned the physician. At about 10:30pm, the physician answered my telephone call. I explained to the physician that my labor had begun and notified the physician of the time between contractions. The physician stated that this was impossible as the physician had just seen me on Friday, and nothing was happening regarding the impending birth. The telephone call ended and incredibly so did my labor and contractions. At about midnight, a call was received from the physician asking me where I was. Confounded by this question I stated that I was at home and that the labor contractions had stopped. The physician informed me to come to the hospital immediately. I telephoned mother and asked her to babysit daughter as spouse and I were leaving for the hospital. Remembering to pack the acetaminophen, spouse and I departed for the hospital after mother and father arrived at our home. I arrived at the hospital at about 1:00 am on Sunday and was brought directly into the hospital delivery room. The physician requested at some point during the delivery to stop pushing as the physician could ascertain within the birth canal that the umbilical cord was around the baby’s neck. The cord was loosened and removed from the neck of our child, to my relief. I will be forever grateful for this God inspired, physician’s expertise regarding this matter. Our son was delivered naturally fifteen minutes after the arrival at the hospital, with no drugs or inducements administered. I remarked to spouse that this was the second happiest day of my life. Directly following the birth, the physician asked spouse if he would like to request “a husband’s stitch”. Requiring to use the lavatory facilities in my assigned room immediately following the birth of our son, I entered the hospital bathroom and noticed blood on the seat of the commode. I summoned hospital staff, but no one came to clean up this body fluid that was apparently left by the roommate. After cleaning up the mess myself, one was able to use the commode. The hospital roommate was a woman who had just given birth to a fourth or fifth child. As I was resting and recuperating the morning after giving birth, the spouse of the hospital roommate entered the hospital room and began ranting and raving at her for giving birth and stated that she should have had an abortion. This was upsetting to me and so I asked the physician to discharge me and 98 our baby from the hospital as soon as possible. I declined the circumcision on the baby scheduled for later that day that was offered for “cleanliness purposes” and departed the hospital on Tuesday morning. Upon arriving home, company awaited me where I felt obligated to serve coffee and cake. The total cost for this basic routine pregnancy and birth was about $10,000. Less than a week after arriving home from the hospital, spouse was required to leave on a lengthy business trip. Miraculously, I had the energy and strength to solely care for a two year old and a newborn during this business trip. I became aware of a new trend that some people were becoming increasingly involved in with regard to the birth of their child. The taking of photographs and the videotaping of childbirth was gaining in popularity with young couples. Thought should be given to this practice as childbirth is a traumatic experience involving the considerable exposure of private body areas and bodily fluids such as blood. To wantonly film or photograph this occasion is in one’s opinion, immoral. In the summer of this year, spouse and I invited friends, a young couple with a one year old child to visit our home. While the woman and I were in the kitchen chatting, spouse and spouse were in the backyard chatting. The children were both outside in the backyard. Both the woman and I assumed that spouse and spouse were watching the children while we prepared the food to be served. After a short while, I walked outside to discover that the friend’s one year old child was floating on the surface of a one and one half foot deep garden pond installed on our property. Horrified, I quickly ran to lift the child out of the water. The child vomited water but thankfully, appeared to be otherwise fine. Scolding the spouses, I realized that the woman and I had not officially given the responsibility to the men, to watch the children. During the 1980’s and the early years of the 1990’s, one became annoyed with a device that many people were purchasing and installing in their backyards, known as a “bug zapper”. This gadget when lit at night would draw insects to it and then would electrify the bugs. I stated to spouse that people using this equipment do not realize that they are drawing more bugs into their yard rather than eliminating insects from their yard. Retrospective: Some methods for assessing a home are unjust and possibly corrupt (this may depend upon who you are). All women should avoid vigorous exercise during pregnancy regardless of the promotion by evil media, of pregnant women shown exercising on television. It is brutal, insensitive, and evil to suggest a “husband’s stitch” to a spouse directly after the woman has given birth to a baby. A person has obviously lost their mind when it is suggested to a spouse who has just given birth to a baby, that the child should have been aborted. The insanity is compounded when this statement is made in front of another woman, who has just given birth to a baby. It appears as though rises in prices, sometimes results in reduced and substandard services. Make clear to all concerned when authority or responsibility is granted or delegated. Historical Accounts 1986: 41 99 The first computer virus named “Brain” infects personal computers beginning on January 19. A national resistance group allegedly responsible for the deaths of one half million people assumes power in Uganda on January 25. Pope John Paul II is the first contemporary pope to visits a Jewish synagogue on April 13. On April 26, a devastating nuclear disaster occurs at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union. Carbonic acid omitted from Lake Nyos on August 21 kills about seventeen hundred people. An earthquake in El Salvador kills approximately fifteen hundred people on October 10. NASA’s space shuttle Challenger explodes in mid air 73 seconds after launching killing all seven people on board. Argentina defeats West Germany to win the world soccer cup. Remarks: The first of many computer viruses render personal computers useless. Tracking these virus’s to those who are responsible for their disbursement, should be a priority of investigative agencies of law enforcement. The nuclear substances emitted from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant wreak havoc around the world for several years. An unusual occurrence in a lake kills many people. The Challenger launch was viewed by me on live television. I was shocked and saddened by this tragedy. 1987 Our son was baptized in early February at the age of almost four months old. I continued to postpone the baptismal ceremony due to a sensing of the necessary requirement to plan and host a party after the event. Busy with a two year old, an infant and household responsibilities, I had no inclination, time, or extra motivation to move forward with party planning. Recognizing that we were waiting too long to have son baptized, spouse and I decided to skip the party plans and made arrangements with the Catholic Church to have son baptized. Brother and his fiancee’ were asked and accepted the responsibility of godparents. Mother, father, father in law, brother, his fiancee’, spouse, daughter, and I dined at a restaurant after this sacrament, to celebrate son’s baptismal. At the end of February, we were invited by mother and father to attend with them a rustic resort in the Adirondack Mountain area of New York, for a few days. Mother and father had reserved a cabin for this excursion. The dining facility was contained in a lodge on the premises of the resort, requiring a short walk to dine. At night, the temperature dropped to an exceedingly low level most likely several degrees below zero Fahrenheit. The heat in the cabin was not working efficiently requiring me to sit with infant son during the night, near a fire in the fireplace of the cabin. I was very concerned that son, with red and chapped skin would become ill during this excursion. On the day of our departure, we quickly realized that the battery in our car was dead due to the bitterly cold temperature. We telephoned a local 100 automobile service station to jump start our vehicle. That business did well that day, as most of the cars in the parking area had the same problem. The utility company serving electricity and natural gas to the area of our residence included two bar graphs comparing customer usage of natural gas and electric for the current year and the prior year on the statement of the charges billed monthly. Initially, one believed that every year our family was consuming more and more natural gas and electric. One then would state to spouse that we needed to be more diligent about turning down the thermostats and shutting off the lights in the house. Later, and at about this time one realized that an ever increasing quantity of natural gas and electric was not being consumed by us but rather the utility rates were increasing. One then realized the “usage charts” displayed on the bill to be false. In middle summer, we procured tickets to see a performance held at the prestigious military academy near to our home. This occasion was one of the very few times that spouse and I left young daughter and/ or, infant son with a babysitter. The girl asked to babysit was a seemingly pleasant young teenager that I had not asked to babysit before. Spouse and I left that evening at about 7:30 pm and returned home at about 11:30pm, relieving the babysitter at that time. Quickly checking on our sleeping children after arriving home, spouse and I went to bed. In the morning, I entered our infant son’s room to retrieve him from the crib. It was at this time, that I saw many small cuts on his thighs. Summoning my two year old daughter, I asked her what had transpired the night prior. She stated that she did not know and that the babysitter stated to her that these small bloody cuts on the baby’s legs were from a “lollypop”. Spouse and I concluded that these small cuts were inflicted by fingernails. Confronting the girl who babysat for us later that morning, I was informed of a recent parental hospitalization and the young girl then ran away from me. Suspecting then that the family was troubled, there was an inquiry made of an acquaintance who worked for the Department of Social Services. The advice given was not to pursue this matter with social services as spouse and I might be accused of this child abuse, potentially resulting in the removal of our children from our home. At the end of the summer, spouse, daughter, infant son, and I vacationed at our usual vacation seaside town in Maine. Upon arrival to the rented cottage and after unpacking our belongings, we strolled to the beach. Infant son was walked to the beach in a stroller and this was left at the entrance of the beach while we took a short walk on the beach. On returning to the beach entrance after our walk, the stroller was gone. I was disgusted to realize that some people are so immoral that they would even steal a baby’s stroller. We carried our son for the extent of that vacation. Retrospective: Society influences people to engage in activities and events that they may not really want to participate in. Through repeated self examination obviously conducted over a lengthy period of time, it is possible to decline these expectations and the influences of others. Examine obvious factors of a circumstance before deciding to participate. For example, before deciding to go to the Adirondack Mountain region for a long weekend in February with an infant, the temperature should have been checked for that area, during that time of the year. The babysitting experience was a horror for me. It 101 was something that I wanted to forget. An employee of social services frightened me and so this abuse was not reported. At the same time, I did not want to become involved with a family who was obviously troubled. I also recognized at about this time, that other families seemed to have become more troubled. Infant son, a chubby boy, appeared to be happier when carried. Historical Accounts 1987: 42 A Disneyland theme park is approved to open in France on March 34. The Harmonic Convergence occurring on August 16-17, where the planets were exceptionally aligned, correlates with an ancient Mayan calendar. A conference to discuss artificial life is sponsored in California from September 7-24. A radiation accident occurring on September 13 in Brazil causes the deaths of several people and the demolition of several city blocks. A typhoon on November 25 kills more than one thousand people in the Philippines. The movie “Moonstruck” is released on December 16. A Philippine passenger ship, the MV Dona Paz sinks on December 20 after colliding with an oil tanker killing all four thousand three hundred and seventy five people on board. No missions occur for NASA this year. Remarks: The French agree to absurdities as well. The grand tine is ushered in with the coming of the end of “Hell Cycles” beginning an age of “universal peace”. A conference to recognize artificial life is begun in the United States State of California. The “Moon hit’s one’s eye like a big pizza pie” in “Moonstruck”. NASA has no missions for this year. 1988 In early January, spouse was dismissed from his job position due to the selling of the corporation and the subsequent mergers and acquisitions by other corporations, of the various divisions, within the sold corporation. The employees who decided to stay with the division of their assignment in the sold corporation were required to relocate to another area of the country, required by the purchasing corporation. Spouse and I although concerned about this situation of unemployment were confident that another job would be secured promptly as spouse had good credentials, experience in the industry, and spoke four languages fluently. Others in the family seemed to be more upset with this occurrence than spouse and I. During this time of unemployment, together we enjoyed our young family. Shortly following his dismissal, spouse procured a job with another corporation in his field of experience. This job was obtained with the employer knowing about spouse’s jobless situation. The salary offered was for slightly less than spouse’s salary at his previous job. Spouse and I were a bit disgruntled over this fact 102 and so when another job opportunity arose a few months later, spouse quit this job and joined another company offering a higher salary. At this time, the company who paid the lower salary offered spouse an increase in wages which was above the salary offered of the new job accepted. Questioning the ethics of this situation, spouse declined the offer and joined the other firm. It was recommended by the school district that incoming Kindergartners have nursery school experience prior to beginning full time school. Various reasons were cited for enrollment in nursery school including the providing of young pre-school children with peer socialization skills, beginning learning skills, artistic skills, and physical exercise. I agreed with this recommendation and therefore enrolled daughter whose fourth birthday was in the autumn, in nursery school. At home, I prepared daughter for this experience and she seemed to look forward to this new two and one half hour morning routine. On the first day of nursery school, I walked her into the classroom and encouraged her to become familiar with the atmosphere of many children, books, toys, and other displays in the room. Satisfied that she was comfortable, I bid her farewell promising to return within a short time. Daughter began crying and asked me not to leave. I explained to her that parents are not permitted to stay in the classroom during class time. Daughter became hysterical begging me not to leave her. The teacher at that point firmly stated that I should not be manipulated by this behavioral outburst. Not believing this behavior to be manipulative but rather inspired by fear, daughter and I departed the classroom. No refund for the semester’s tuition was issued for this situation. By the spring of 1989, daughter was prepared for nursery school and attended the school with confidence. On one routine physical examination for daughter and son, instead of seeing the pediatrician, we were assigned to a nurse practitioner who worked at this physician’s office. I thought the physical examinations by the nurse to be thorough and satisfactory. When inquiring about the amount of money owed for these visits, I was asked to pay a figure familiar to me for the pediatric physician’s visit. I asked the desk clerk why the fee was the same for the nurse as the physician. Expecting to hear a logical explanation for this, the desk clerk reduced the amount owed for the physical examinations of daughter and son. I thought this to be outrageous. At another visit, I questioned the physician on an article that I had recently read in the local newspaper. The article stated that the fluoride placed into the water system in this area for healthy teeth could cause kidney damage. I was reassured by the physician that the quantity of this element was so miniscule that kidney damage could not occur. A telephone call to a town official provided similar reassurance. At about this time Jehovah Witnesses briefly visited our home and provided me with a book that I found to be informative. The story of the Creation and Adam and Eve was explained in a logical way that coincided with the scientific evidence regarding early civilizations established by man. The book explained that for millions of years, human beings were ignorant animals relying on hunting and gathering for food and caves for shelter. But as it was explained in the book, about twelve thousand years ago, Adam and Eve became aware of God’s existence and this was the beginning of the intelligence of man. After reading this book, one vaguely became aware and was somewhat enlightened to the probability that incomplete and perhaps false instruction was being taught in the public schools. 103 A short vacation was taken to a mountainous area of New York State that offered a large animal park, horseback and pony riding, and a theme park. While attending the theme park, we boarded a small train that rode us around the facility. The train went through a wooded area where unexpectedly, “robbers” came out of the woods, boarded the train, and demanded gum or candy from the passengers. Daughter was petrified and began crying. I was annoyed that a theme park where most people should be having an enjoyable visit causes grief to some people, especially children. Some of the toys that were popular at about this time included motorized vehicles and a talking animated bear that sang songs and told stories through a cassette tape inserted into the back of the bear. Another toy that was popular was a computerized doll that interacted with a child. How this toy operated is an enigma to me, to this day. The motorized vehicles I disliked immediately and refused to purchase this item for my children. I believed that these vehicles were depriving children of healthy and necessary physical exercise which is needed to build muscles, especially in growing children. I do not believe that I made this sentiment clear to family members however, as they purchased a motorized car for daughter and son for Christmas. Our children used this vehicle two times. Both times, my shins were the target for the little drivers of this car. When the battery died after two uses, I refused to recharge it and so the vehicle remained in our garage taking up space until it was finally discarded a few years later. The talking bear, also a popular toy, I ignorantly liked at that time. A toy like this confuses children into believing that machines are real living creatures. One can ponder the dangers of this situation. Another toy purchased for daughter was downright evil. This toy was a doll that conversed with people and spoke some very nasty language. As a matter of fact, some people who purchased the doll claimed that the doll spewed curse words. This doll was never played with by daughter as it appeared to frighten her and the doll too was eventually discarded. Some businesses were marketed to appeal to children and provided adults with entertainment as well. One restaurant attended offered a large indoor playground for children. One piece of equipment was a structure containing many balls that children inside the structure played with. The last time this equipment was used by daughter and son was when I viewed another child vomit inside this structure. The restaurant also contained an animated animal band. These machines were larger than adult people and played various musical instruments, songs, and offered a comedy show, while patrons dined. Once again, ponder the dangers of animated machines that appear real. The consequences of indoor play equipment, toys, and crazy play contraptions at establishments seemed to result in children acquiring more frequent viral and bacterial infections than in the past. This situation necessitated more frequent visits to a physician’s office where an antibiotic in the form of a pink liquid was prescribed. Patients were told to finish the bottle of antibiotic even if the symptoms of the cold were gone. So based on the frequency of illnesses and the body’s resistance to the antibiotic that occurs over time, the drug was reported during this time, to be losing its effectiveness. I also noticed that some parents were not dressing their children appropriately for cold weather. Hats and hoods were especially neglected to be put on children prior to venturing out into the cold. A short time 104 later, all cords to tie a child’s hood to their head were removed by clothing manufacturers with the statement that hoods with ties to secure under the chin, represented a choking hazard to children. Retrospective: If the first company offering spouse a job had set a wage equal to or for slightly more than his previous salary at the disbanded company, spouse would not have sought another job. Many schools are unreasonable regarding the issuing of refunds for some situations. Throughout the years it became known to me that The Jehovah Witnesses publishes religious, educational, informative, and interesting facts and stories in two booklets issued monthly in addition to other available educational materials that are freely distributed to the populations of people, regardless of their religion. Theme parks should carefully review their programs. If there is anything frightening in a program for example, then a warning should be posted to advise all of this fact. Toys for children should be carefully, morally scrutinized before purchasing. To maintain sanity, surreal business establishments should be avoided. Indoor toys and play equipment where many children are using these items should be washed and sanitized regularly to reduce the transfer of germs. Most heat in the body is lost through the head. It is important to wear a hat in cold weather to provide for a stronger body resistance to cold germs. Historical Accounts 1988: 43 The Great Seto Bridge, the world’s longest automobile and railroad bridge, opens for traffic in Japan on April 10. The United States Surgeon General equates nicotine addictions to heroin and cocaine addictions on May 16. The Iran and Iraq war officially ends on August 20 with one million casualties. An earthquake occurring on August 21 in Nepal and India kills about one thousand people. It is reported that thousands of people are killed in a cyclone in Bangladesh on December 2. An earthquake in Armenia on December 7 kills between twenty five to fifty thousand people. The United States embassy in Moscow is demolished on October 27 due to eavesdropping devices built within the building. NASA launches the space shuttle Discovery. Remarks: People continue to be diverted with engineering feats. Some people fail to recognize the dangers of technology and the importance of Biblically based religion. It is stated that people who smoke cigarettes are equal addicts to those who use heroin and cocaine. One has been acquainted with people over the years who have quit smoking cigarettes in one day unlike heroin or cocaine addicts who require lengthy intervention to eliminate their addictions to these substances. Perhaps an unspoken threat (other more serious addictions to contend with based on mind control?) to those who smoke 105 cigarettes and their families (as much publicity abounded in media since the 1970’s to convince people to stop smoking cigarettes) was an intention of this statement. 1989 I began to notice housing developments being erected in the area of our home. These developments were like nothing that I had ever seen before. One house after the next, were the size of mansions and priced at about $1,000,000. I wondered how so many people could afford to purchase such expensive homes. I reasoned that two good salaries and a large debt incurred by the owners of these houses were the likely circumstances for most of the purchasers, of these gigantic homes. One day after arriving home from work, spouse announced a new dress code for Friday’s at his place of employment termed “casual Friday’s” where one was expected to wear a collared knit or woven shirt with no tie, blazer jackets, casual shoes but no sneakers, and casual slacks not made from denim or fleece. This requirement necessitated the purchasing of a third wardrobe of clothing causing a financial hardship for ourselves and other families who were on a strict budget. Our week’s summer vacation for this year was spent visiting Orlando, Florida and the vicinity. We stayed outside of the Disneyworld resort area at a nice hotel. Daughter and son enjoyed their first airplane ride and the two days spent at Epcot Center and Disneyworld. I thought the technology enlisted in the Disneyworld haunted house was a bit extreme as we were joined by a “ghost” in the assigned family ride cart. The technology in Epcot’s dinosaur ride and exhibit was incredible. I was annoyed with the “visiting” of countries around the world, as this word used was false and likely has confused children into thinking that they have actually visited these countries and places portrayed. A pleasant time was spent visiting Sea World and an alligator zoo where I was awakened to how fast an alligator can move when hungry. One day, the decision was made to visit the nearby Coco Beach. After renting an umbrella, we chose a place on the beach to sun ourselves, picnic, and swim. Spouse went into the ocean for a swim leaving daughter, two and one half year old son, and me on the beach. Daughter began feeding pigeons near to our picnic area. I was tending to son for a few moments and then returned my focus to watch daughter feed these birds. Both daughter and the birds were nowhere in the vicinity. I began yelling and summoning spouse out of the water. He returned my rants from the beach with a friendly wave from the ocean. People picnicking on a towel near to ours offered to watch toddler son while I searched the beach for daughter. At that point, I feared that I might lose two children. I declined their offer and carried our heavy son, trying to run at the same time, seeking daughter who was lost on the beach. All of the umbrellas were the same colors of yellow and white, further disorienting me. Finally, spouse joined me on the beach where daughter was found crying a short distance away. One was disturbed by advice given by remedial specialists during this time period regarding childhood illnesses that included a symptom of fever. Parents were being told by remedial specialists to submerge their child in a cool bath to reduce the child’s fever. As many older people know, chills often accompany a fever and placing a person in a cool bath could result in a more serious illness. Advice given by remedial specialists in the 1960’s regarding a fever was to give the ill person plenty of clear fluids to 106 drink to prevent dehydration, perhaps administer a cool wash cloth to the forehead, and give the ill person an aspirin or acetaminophen to ingest to assist in reducing the fever. During the summer, daughter was registered with the public school system to attend Kindergarten. Later in the summer, we were notified and invited to attend an orientation where we met the teacher and viewed the classroom. The classroom appeared much different from the time when I attended Kindergarten in the same school district. Many play stations surrounded an area of tables. When I attended Kindergarten, there were no toys in the classroom. The instruction in the early 1960’s was rote, and organized with textbooks and workbook reliance. Questioning these arrangements, we were told that the individual child learns in different ways and so a “play, debrief, replay” philosophy was enlisted as a way of teaching in this classroom. I felt leery about this new method but trusted that educators were competent, proficient, and gained good results, through this teaching approach. The day I sent daughter off to school on the school bus, was an anticipatory day for both daughter and I. I could not understand at that time, why another mother was crying at the bus stop. For a holiday celebration in daughter’s Kindergarten, parents were asked to send in treats. As a class mother, I was to attend the event to assist the teachers and one also volunteered to bake cupcakes for the students in the class. After preparing, baking, and frosting, and setting the cakes on trays at home, one proceeded with the cupcakes to the school to help with this event. Upon arriving in the class, I noticed that another parent(s) had also sent in cupcakes with their child. These cupcakes were from a bakery and were topped with plenty of frosting, sprinkles, and other attractive to children, plastic decorations. Both sets of cupcakes were delivered to the children when I quickly realized that they preferred the commercial bakery product to my home made cakes. Hence, all of the cupcakes that I prepared early that morning were thrown in the garbage. I stated to spouse that one person should have been assigned to prepare cupcakes for the children. With daughter off to full day Kindergarten and perceiving that son needed more socialization with other children I contemplated acquiring a part time job. I also had a nagging sensation that I should be contributing financially to the family even if only to pay the grocery bill. So, I applied for and was hired for a part time job with a medical billing firm. Son attended a nursery school three days a week and a babysitter twice a week, for four hours a day. This job became quickly disturbing to me as I noted the astronomical medical bills sent to people. Even after payments by insurance, people still owed exorbitant amounts of money, bills beyond belief, for usually a serious and lengthy illness. I stated to spouse that one illness could completely bankrupt a person. I was beginning to become sickened by this job and was not happy with son’s babysitting arrangements as I believed there to be too many children, under the care of one woman. The small amount of money obtained from this job, was not worth the family and personal sacrifice and so, I quit this job. After departing from the above employment, I contemplated purchasing a food truck to deliver frankfurters, hamburgers, sandwiches, and beverages to people attending the town parks in the area. I believed this would be a likely lucrative business as this kind of business idea had not yet been tapped 107 by others and there was a need for this kind of service for people participating and attending ball games and playgrounds in the area. A town official was contacted to procure a permit to engage in this business where it was stated by the official that food and beverage vending was not permitted on or near town parks. After returning from Florida in 1999 and during the attendance of daughter’s softball games, a truck selling ice creams, cakes, candies, and chips to park attendees was viewed on the road at the side of the park. Son was very interested in books and so he and I frequently visited the local library to review and borrow books pertaining to his interest of dinosaurs and pre-historic mammals. A designated amount of books on a topic were permitted to be borrowed at one time, so son carefully scrutinized the books and then decided which ones to borrow for that week. He became so proficient at three years old in knowing all the dinosaur names, their habitat, and other characteristics about them that when I viewed a five year old child prodigy on a television talk show discuss his knowledge of dinosaurs, I thought about contacting the show to discuss our son, who might be considered by the show’s producers, to be a younger child prodigy. While at the library, I browsed through many children’s books that I thought to be crazy in content. Some other books depict ethnic groups as less intelligent than others. For example, African Americans or immigrants are sometimes portrayed to have a poor command of the grammatical structure of the English language. The writing of these kinds of books for “special effects, can lead one to a prejudice against certain groups and can promote to the reader, poor language skills. In the adult reading area of the library I scanned through mystery novels, but could find none of interest due to too much violent or insane content. I eventually found my way to the biography section and borrowed books about the lives of renowned people. It was at about this time that I considered and contemplated writing my own autobiography about the life of an ordinary person, as no books in the biography section of the library could be found covering this kind of story. I also borrowed books found in the travel section on places that our family might enjoy visiting. I was also interested in local history. This topic with its selection of books was difficult to find as the history books regarding the local area were contained in a small separate room within the library building. I went into the room over a course of a few visits to investigate town history and historical buildings in the area. These books could not be borrowed so time was needed for library research. I did find out some surprising facts about the community and vowed to return to this room for further research when more time was available to me. The Parent Teacher Association was sponsoring a book fair in the school’s gymnasium and was asking for parent volunteers to assist with book sales at this event. I offered to volunteer for one afternoon of the several days fair. Immediately after arriving at the book fair I assisted a customer with a purchase of several books by calculating with a pen and paper the amount owed for the books. Suddenly and abruptly another PTA volunteer pulled the paper containing the completed calculation from the table stating to me “that we use calculators here”. Speechless and appalled at this rudeness of the ill mannered woman, I observed her as she recalculated the figures for the books using a calculator that arrived at the same figure as I. Expecting an apology for this abrasive behavior none was offered so I departed the event. 108 This year’s Christmas Eve dinner as usual, consisted of the preparation of fish. I was hosting Christmas Eve dinner to mother, father, brother, his wife, father in law, and our family. After the dinner celebration was over, the dishes were cleaned and our family retired to bed. A few hours later, I awoke with strong abdominal pain. Son also was ill with similar pain. Both of us had a high fever and experienced severe digestive system remorse. The next day mother informed spouse of a rash that she acquired. Mother and son recovered from this illness thought to be food poisoning. I however continued to experience severe abdominal pains and so spouse brought me to the hospital. Here it was most likely confirmed that I had indeed suffered from food poisoning. For many months, my digestive system had still not returned to normal requiring several visits to various physician specialists where tests were administered to ascertain the problem. All of these tests were returned normal. Waiting sometimes weeks for the test results however created anxiety in me, which probably compounded my abdominal distress. Through other physician examinations at this time, it was recommended that I procure a mammogram screening. I was annoyed at this suggested test as my problem was digestive related. However, I followed the physician’s advice and made an appointment for a mammogram. Informed that this procedure was a minimal, painless procedure, I was in awe when I viewed the size of the mammogram machine. It was a floor to ceiling gigantic piece of equipment that presses a woman’s breast onto a metal plate at mid level. This procedure was not painless and I feared that I might acquire cancer due to this test. By the middle of 1990, I quit visiting physicians and sought out a chiropractor who eventually solved whatever problem I had. Retrospective: It appears as though some people have sacrificed large amounts of family time to achieve materialistic goals. Illusions create insanity in people. Hand signals were reviewed with spouse after the Coco Beach incident. Trust one’s initial instinct regarding a situation. If instructed otherwise, investigate and research the history of anything of importance and armed with evidence, reject ill begotten advice or procedures. Societal pressure, especially more pronounced in an evil society, greatly influenced me into believing that I needed a job with a salary. At this time, I was more valuable to my family working at home. It appears that the rules for all people are not the rules for some people as shown through the story of the desired food truck business. Many young children’s books do not illustrate children but instead picture animals or creatures that cannot be discerned, but portray childlike speech, activities, and other child characteristics which may confuse young children into believing that they are animals or some other weird creature (children’s television shows are similar). A uniformity of health care procedures based on a particular illness, may result in the substantial lowering of costs. Hypochondria can exacerbate a problem or create new problems. Historical Accounts 1989: 44 The first Global Positioning System (GPS) is launched on February 14. Two media giants Time Incorporated and Warner Communications begin a process to merge on March 5. A Quebec electricity system collapses due to a geomagnetic storm on March 13. 109 The Exxon Valdez spills 240,000 barrels of oil in an Alaskan sound on March 24 damaging the natural environment. A tornado in Bangladesh kills approximately one thousand three hundred people on April 26. The Berlin Wall is dismantled in November. Illuminated communists are gaining more power throughout the world. NASA launches space shuttle Columbia on a “secret mission”. Remarks: The initiation of satellite systems to track people and things are placed in orbit. A strange event causes a major power outage. Deceptions abound in the world. Absurdities are becoming increasingly common. Two colossal media giants assume even more power. 1990 Father in law was not feeling well and so spouse or sometimes I would accompany him on visits to the physician. Father in law also seemed a bit confused on these physician office visits so either spouse or I would accompany him into the examination room as well. The first physician attending to him tried various remedies to reduce his cholesterol and assist with other problems and health related complaints. Still feeling ill, a specialist was recommended who diagnosed him with a debilitating, terminal illness. Based on father in laws personality, spouse and I decided not to inform him of this grim diagnosis as spouse believed that this information would depress him thus further affecting his physical health. A therapy was offered that both spouse and I knew to be torturous. The physician also stated to spouse that the progression of this illness would likely be slow, based on his older age. Both spouse and I therefore made the decision to forego the debilitating remedial treatment offered to us for father in law. While at a scheduled parent /teacher conference, one discussed an aspect of the elementary grade curriculum that appeared to me to be confusing and disorienting to students. The teacher replied that I was the only parent questioning and complaining about this aspect of the curriculum which created an unsettling feeling in me and extinguished my desire to pursue this issue further. In the spring of this year, I decided to return part time to school to earn a master’s degree in elementary education. The reasons for continuing on with my education were at least three fold. A career congenial to daughter and son’s schedule was desired. I also wanted to fulfill an earlier career goal and wished to be more aware of what was being taught and how curriculum was taught, in the public schools. The return to university studies also provided me with a return to a “sense of self” as I began to regain some perceived lost intellect. 110 One day, while visiting a fire truck exhibit in the community with young son, I met the obstetrician who attended to the birth of our children. This physician was attending this leisure event, with the physician’s own children. I felt a sense of uneasiness meeting with this person in a casual way, in town. At about this time, spouse, daughter, son, and I attended a large three ring circus at an arena. This event brought back memories of my visit to the circus in the 1960’s, where the same feelings of confusion, disorientation, mild annoyance, excitement, and anxiety resurfaced. Based on daughter and son’s behavior at this three ring circus, I became aware that they were likely experiencing similar emotions as I. At this time, I realized that this atmosphere of attempting to view the three different performances, in each of the three rings at the same time, may very well be inflicting psychological damage on people. A one ring circus is the saner circus to attend. Sometime during the early 1990’s I read an article in the local newspaper that requested volunteers to provide assistance in a local food pantry and clothing depot. I decided to answer this call and visited this organization where I stocked food items according to categories on shelves. After completing this job, I asked the pantry manager to provide me with a schedule to return for repeated assistance. I was told to come whenever I desired. By my second visit, there were several volunteers in the pantry where we were bumping into each other as we stocked the shelves. At that point, I did not believe assistance was needed and so I quit volunteering for this charity. In the early 1990’s, spouse, daughter, son, and I visited an Amish area of Pennsylvania and Washington D.C., on two separate long weekend journeys. During our visit to the Amish country, we toured an old Amish farmhouse where I was enlightened to the mechanics of wind energy used to provide an energy source to this home. This old technique is only now gaining in popularity as a viable energy source. For the first time, we visited a wax museum in the area that was eerie and surreal. One child became frightened, cried, and screamed when viewing a lifelike wax rendition of Abraham Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address. The first and only cat show attended happened to be hosted in the hotel where we stayed for that weekend. I was in awe of all the various breeds of cats including an unusual hairless variety. Our first time, three day visit to Washington D.C. reminded me of the time spent in Paris due to similarities in the architectural designs of both cities. We visited landmark buildings and monuments, an aquarium, Smithsonian Museums, and toured the White House. This tour required arriving by 5:00 am to purchase tickets and then wait on an already long line at that early hour to only gain entry to the White House, several hours later. I thought the wait was worth the visit but chastised myself for not arriving earlier. I was especially saddened by the viewing of the names of soldiers killed during the Vietnam War that were engraved at eye level on a simply constructed marble stone monument. A vendor offered a photograph with a novel life size cardboard rendition of the President and his wife. I thought this deception to be crazy, but amusing at the same time. This summer, our family was invited to attend a picnic sponsored by spouse’s employer. The picnic was held in a lovely wooded area of New Jersey and was administered by a catering business that specialized in large group outings. Good food and drinks were served, amusements were provided, and raffles for 111 prizes were won. I could not believe however, the uncivilized behavior of some young people attending this picnic compound. I was aghast to view a few male youths standing next to the swimming pool, with genitals exposed and urinating into the pool. Wanting to become more involved with daughter, her classmates, and the school she attended, I volunteered to be a class mother and a Daisy Girl Scout co-leader. Meetings were regularly held in the school cafeteria during after school hours, where a troop of about fifteen girls worked on craft projects. I suggested to the parent’s of the girls that excursions into the outdoors be planned, that would benefit the girls. An apple picking excursion, a day fishing outing, and a hike were offered for parental consideration. These suggestions were declined by most parents due to fears of Lymes disease. By the time our daughter entered the first grade, another troop was organized based on what seemed to be religious designations. There was basically a Christian Girl Scout troop and a Jewish Girl Scout troop. I decided to quit co-leading at this time. This year I had access to a video camera. Initially pleased with access to this equipment, I quickly realized that I was missing important events by looking through a lens. Somehow recording and then viewing the recorded event, was not as relevant and fulfilling as actually viewing the event. Retrospective: Spouse and I considered the decisions regarding father in laws illness to be extremely difficult requiring much ethical discussion between spouse and I. A stronger religious affiliation may have assisted us at that time. I do believe however that God aided us in making the right decision for father in law regarding his illness. Reading informative books and watching less television can assist one in maintaining a higher level of intelligence during the times of life that are less intellectually stimulating. Sometimes divisions of groups within the society serve the purposes of evil. Provide unpaid volunteers with a schedule to eliminate the appearance of an over abundance of volunteers. Wax figures and cardboard renditions of people are occult inspired “contributions” to society. It is best to avoid contact with these types of art forms. Sometimes simple memorials deliver a more effective message to the public than the larger, grand memorials. It appears as though evil forces are gaining an increasingly destructive influence over some of the youth. Historical Accounts 1990: 45 Bell Labs creates a digital optical processor on January 29 that uses light rather than electricity which may result in the development of faster computers. McDonald’s, a fast food restaurant opens in Moscow, Russia on January 31. Large bank accounts are inaccessible in Brazil for eighteen months beginning on March 15. On June 21, approximately forty thousand people are killed in an earthquake in Iran. About one thousand five hundred people are killed in a tunnel stampede leading to Mecca on July 2. 112 Sixteen hundred people are killed in an earthquake in the Philippines on July 16. McDonald’s, a fast food restaurant opens in China on October 8. The channel between the United Kingdom and France is established on December 1. NASA launches the space shuttle Atlantis on a “secret mission”. West Germany defeats Argentina to win the world soccer cup. Remarks: For years, havoc was wreaked on Alaskan wildlife due to the Exxon Valdez disaster. Alternate routes to the city of Mecca should be established for pilgrims, to prevent stampede situations. “Happy Meals” are offered to more people around the world. 1991 Occasionally and at about this time, one would be invited to join with other women for a “girl’s night out” which sometimes included visits to bars, pubs, and taverns. I would decline these invitations because of my commitment to spouse and believed that our relationship would be compromised if I accepted these invitations. In the 1960’s and 1970’s, “married” women (which should have, but did not include some “married men”), did not singly carouse with friends in nighttime establishments and if they did, most people believed the marriage to be doomed which usually was the case. At this time it is appropriate to mention because of an increase in popularity, some parties and practices of some events that I believe have crossed a line from acceptable morality to unacceptable immorality. Some people became involved in hosting lingerie parties that apparently seemed to have replaced the more morally acceptable household items and giftware parties. These lingerie parties were attended by women who were acquainted with each other. At this kind of party, women were expected to purchase obscene intimate garments. Coffee and cake were served as usual. For other parties, to replace benign party games, outside entertainers were hired such as belly dancers and male or female strippers that were sometimes initially dressed in bizarre and sometimes frightening costumes. Games of physical activity or skill for children at special events were replaced with immoral face paintings on children that became increasingly evil with skeletons and devils applied onto the faces of youngsters. Temporary tattoo’s to attach to one’s body some with rhinestones and other colored “gems” were becoming commonplace. Salon birthday parties, with a focus on cosmetics applied to young girls became prevalent. Discotheque, laser gun tag, and slumber parties which should be of concern to parents in an evil society, and other outlandish birthday parties for young children hosted by parents at home and establishments, were becoming commonplace. The above mentioned parties replaced the more morally acceptable children’s parties of the past that consisted of serving cake and ice cream, opening the gifts and thanking the guests for these gifts, and providing for a few children’s games such as pin the tail on the donkey, musical chairs, and bobbing for apples for some examples. 113 Many children were no longer involved in “free play” situations with other neighborhood children. The scheduling of play dates became commonplace where calendars were marked with appointment times for child socialization. I refused to agree with this new procedure for arranging playtime and so the children of parents who did this, did not play with our children due to the absence of the spontaneity to socialize with a friend. In other words, getting together to play with a friend became a “forced” situation because of a parental desire to adhere to a playtime schedule. I also noticed an increasing lack of respect shown by children to adults. Many children began to address adults by their first name with permission granted by some adults to do this. This general lack of respect for adults by children can lead to a lack of obedience shown by children when chastised for bad behavior or dangerous behavior, by the adult in authority. Also noted were the presumptuous and rude behaviors of some child guests who helped themselves without asking permission to food items in the visiting household. I also noticed that small groups of children when playing together with minimal adult supervision resulted in destructive behaviors, such as the wanton throwing of toys around a room. Additionally, this behavior suggests a lack of ability regarding an organization of play, by the children. Outdoor play sometimes consisted of children screaming when engaged in an activity which I despised as this behavior created an anxiety in me due to a sensing that perhaps a child was physically injured. My life became increasingly hectic due to the running to our children’s school for a variety of reasons including scouts, PTA (parent teacher association) meetings and events, class mother duties, and the frequent bringing and returning of our children to and from school. The birthday parties of children’s classmates consumed many weekend hours due to the transporting of our children and the cordial, friendly conversation with other parents whose children were also attending these parties. I began to wonder how parents with more than two children could manage the logistics of this society’s requirements. Religious education scheduled one day a week at the local Catholic parish also necessitated the transport of daughter and son. Also, to help at the parish and gain teaching experience, I volunteered to teach a second grade religion Communion class. To digress a bit, I was surprised when provided with a monetary payment at some point during the religious education term. When first provided with a check, I inquired about the reason for this payment. It was stated to me that a small stipend was paid by the Church to cover teacher’s costs. This was completely unexpected and I stated this to a religious education staff member. The staff member said that the policy is to issue the check but the money could be donated back to the Church. In addition to all the above activities, I was enrolled in nine credits of courses per semester at the university that demanded time for class, study, and research assignments. Spouse also continued to travel extensively with his job which necessitated the delegation of all household and yard upkeep responsibilities to me. In the autumn of this year, spouse had resigned from his current job to accept another job with a higher salary and more responsibility. This job required more extensive and frequent travel. To boost my energy level, I purchased a box of “energy” vitamins that contained individual packets of about five vitamins in each packet to be consumed daily according to the directions on the box. On day two of ingesting these vitamins, I became sick and nauseous disgorging the contents of my stomach. Later, I thought that 114 possibly I experienced a bout of vitamin poisoning and that this quantity of vitamins prescribed to be ingested, was dangerous to people. Telephone calls provided a constant disruption to my schedule and diverted my focus from the tasks at hand, creating a frustration and annoyance in me. Some people began to purchase answering machines which aggravated me further as the person telephoned by me answered my telephone call at their convenience through this message system and I answered the caller’s call at the caller’s convenience. Eventually, I too purchased an answering machine which over time became a ridiculous situation as call back messages went back and forth via these machines. It was confirmed in thought and spoken about with family members at about this time, that I would write an autobiography sometime in the future about the life of the common, average person living in the United States, during this day and age. For our tenth anniversary, spouse and I visited the Bahamas for five days and four nights without daughter and son who stayed at mother and father’s home. This vacation provided me with a well needed rest and relaxation. I thought some of the man made atmosphere in the resort where we stayed to be incredible. Spouse and I dined in restaurants contained within the resort that specialized in various international cuisines. These restaurants made one almost sense that he or she was dining in the country where the kind of cuisines were served, due to the extraordinary and illusionary decorating schemes. I was worried, anxious, and perturbed however, with wild jet skiers who were driving these vehicles too close to ocean bathers. Earlier in the summer, a family vacation was spent on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I noticed that beach erosion on some areas of the Cape was great when comparing the beach area to earlier childhood visits. On this visit we avoided visiting artistic and “bohemian” Provincetown where many homosexuals reside, due to the growing epidemic of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) among the homosexual population. I believed that this virus could be transmitted through a mosquito bite as in the case of the virus of yellow fever. Retrospective: Some aspects of the decade of the 1990’s initiated many people into a “pre-hell”. People should decline invitations to immoral gatherings. If one is surprised at some unexpected immorality at a gathering or event, one should leave. Festivals and events containing aspects of evil should be avoided. As more adults engage in immoral behavior, so do children. Also, engagements in immoral behavior by the individual, when not a subscriber to evil occult philosophy, many times, results in reduced intelligence. Eliminating unnecessary outside activities reduces stress, provides for more family productiveness, and the maintenance of sanity. In the past it was considered rude not to open birthday gifts and personally thank the gift giver at the birthday party. It is remarkable and bizarre that many people today cannot seem to be without a mobile cellular telephone. Perhaps this phenomenon is related to increasing abortions within world societies (surgical, drug, and laboratory). Many people in the early half of the 1990’s and before, regarded most telephone calls which were land line based, as an interruption and a nuisance. The corruption of the real environment creates problems of perception in the individual that evil uses to gain power and control over the population. 115 Historical Accounts 1991: 46 An earthquake kills approximately one thousand two hundred people in Pakistan and Afghanistan on February 1. A well known media promoted physician, assists patients with suicide. One State revokes his medical license on February 5. Operation Desert Storm ends on February 28. Approximately thirty five thousand people are killed in this seven month war. The Croatian War begins on March 31. More than ten thousand people lost their lives in this civil war. A cyclone kills one hundred and thirty eight thousand people in Bangladesh on April 29. A bank is indicted for defrauding depositors of five billion dollars on July 29. The deception of the dissolution of the Soviet Union occurs. Illuminated Communists have likely assumed control of the world. Remarks: Physician assisted suicide makes its debut. Many people die in a cyclone. This author has suggested the reading of some books and websites in the bibliography of this book to substantiate the fact that world power and control has been assumed by a relatively few individuals largely due to the fact that a majority of people no longer abide by The Ten Commandments, avoid Capital Sins and Abominations. 1992 Father in law, a strong and determined man for his age continued to farm an acre of property surrounding his home where he mostly grew tomato plants. Some of these tomatoes that he harvested were the size of large grapefruits that he shared with family and neighbors. He also raised chickens, rabbits, and owned a flock of fancy pigeons. One day he desired to remove himself of the pigeon hobby and so captured these birds and put them in a box that was then loaded into his automobile. He drove many miles away with them and then released the birds into a large wooded parkland area. Upon arriving home from this trek, he saw the pigeons waiting for him on their perch outside of his house. By the autumn however, father in law, a feisty eighty two year old World War II veteran, had to be hospitalized for a condition that was apparently not related to his terminal diagnosis. After a day or so, father in law commented to spouse about the good and friendly care he was receiving at the hospital. He remarked that many physicians stopped by at his assigned room to greet him and inquire about his health. Expecting him to be quickly released from the hospital, spouse and I were horrified when informed by a hospital staff member that father in law had suffered a debilitating disorder rendering him incapable of speech and the consumption of food and liquids. The physician advised spouse and I that a feeding tube inserted into father in laws abdomen could result in infections. While spouse and I 116 were debating the insertion of this feeding tube for about half a day, father in law died, relieving us of this difficult decision. Father in law passed away less than one week after entering the hospital, leaving a void in our lives that was never to be replaced. Father in law was given a Russian Orthodox funeral on a cold, drizzly, dreary, dark day in November. Daughter and son did not attend the wake due to the usual protocol of the open casket but did attend the funeral. After the funeral, it was expected that spouse and I would host a gathering of the funeral attendees. I was not in the mood to entertain after this gloomy event but agreed with social protocol and provided a meal to the guests after the funeral. As this was my first experience in arranging for a wake and funeral one was aghast at the procedure involved in the selection of a coffin. The arranger of the wake invited spouse and I into a room at the funeral parlor containing several coffins. Here we received a “sales pitch” on the benefits of the different coffins offered. I was sickened by this procedure believing it to be insane and bizarre. After this “shopping experience” I stated to spouse that all dead people should have the same decent coffin offered to relatives for funeral services. Another idea would be to allow the family to privately inspect the different coffins with the prices displayed of the various coffins and then to provide the funeral arranger with their decision regarding the selection of the casket. By the middle of spring, daughter was completing her requirements to receive the Sacrament of Communion. The instructor responsible for the student practice of the Church Communion ceremony was a nun. In the Church, a considerable number of mothers expressed outrage over some of the aspects of the Communion ceremony. I could not believe at that time that some people would dare to question the authority of a nun concerning religious procedures. Having completed the Sacrament of Reconciliation, daughter, participated with other children in receiving her first Holy Communion Host. A large family party was held at our home to celebrate this occasion. University studies were coming to an end with my final year requiring teaching and classroom observations and a student teaching experience in the last semester. In the spring, two classroom observations, one for reading and one for mathematics were required. The public school reading instructional observation experience began with the teacher providing a general instruction to the entire class on topics of reading, including comprehension, grammar, and writing skills. After completing this instruction, students proceeded to their reading group where the expectations were to complete other assignments in a group setting. One teacher was assigned to oversee several reading groups with each reading group assigned different reading curriculum that was based on individual student assessments. The second experience was an observation of a parochial school’s mathematics class. After the teacher provided the students with a mathematics lesson shown on the chalkboard, students were told to reference previously assigned work. Proceeding by rows, every student had the opportunity to state an assigned problem, explain how the problem was solved, and provide the answer to the class. This instruction was rote and methodical and provided an ease of understanding. In the autumn, I was assigned to two public elementary school teachers, spending approximately two months in each classroom. The first experience required the teacher to spend about three to four weeks 117 preparing the children to learn after the extended summer vacation. Many students appeared restless and seemed to lack an ability to focus on the lessons at hand. After the students became accustomed to the classroom routine, the teacher progressed slowly with the curriculum. I noticed that when the pace of teaching and work assignments increased, sloppy and incomprehensible class work was returned by a considerable number of students. I further noticed that some children lack the ability to write as they speak. Provided a child is speaking properly, there should be no reason why this language cannot be written comprehensibly. Possibly due to anxieties and the inability to slow down, comprehensible sentences are extremely difficult for some children to write. The children seemed also to be motivated by a materialistic reward system where stickers or school supply items would be awarded for returning the careful completion of school assignments. During this two month observation and participation experience I noted that the student’s behavior and demeanor changed from a general disengagement to alertness and disciplined preparedness for learning. It was at this time that I noticed the disruptions that occur when students are removed from the classroom for remedial or enrichment curriculum with a specialized teacher. These interruptions occur on a daily basis, sometimes two times a day. The children return back to the classroom in a confused and somewhat disoriented state of being. The classroom teacher at this time interrupts classroom instruction to inform the absent students of the missed lessons and the expectations of the students, to complete that work. I suggested that students requiring specialized instruction be given this either before school, during recess, or after school to benefit all concerned. I noticed that some students suffered from considerable emotional problems due to societal abuses included in general immoralities, which can be expected in an evil society. For examples, a student showed me a burn mark apparently inflicted by an adult on the student’s body. This was reported. In another case, a quiet and seemingly congenial student unexpectedly lashed out for no apparent reason and knocked over this student’s desk, during instruction time. The student was removed from the classroom. Another student occasionally left school grounds during less supervised times such as recess, knowing full well of the punishment the student would incur for this repeated behavior. The second student teaching assignment began after the term was well underway. This teacher covered the curriculum at a brisk pace where students were expected to maintain their focus, follow instructions, and move at a moderate rate during the transition from one subject to another. There were considerable behavioral problems with these students, which required an interruption of the lessons for reprimands. Between my university educational experiences and my experiences with daughter and son’s schooling, I noted some “catch all” phrases that people seemed to be believing and adhering to, including myself at this time. For examples, “It does not matter what children are reading, as long as they are reading” and “It is more important that children write down their thoughts and stories than to pay attention to proper English grammar and the spelling of words”. It was also believed that some children were “learning disabled”. The first phrase, “It does not matter what children are reading as long as they are reading” probably inflicted much damage on the youth. For example, a popular series of books marketed to children between the ages of eight and twelve years old known as “Goosebumps” was a destructively evil set of reading material designed to engage children in occult practices. The second 118 phrase “It is more important that children write their thoughts and stories than pay attention to the spelling of words”, became known as “inventive spelling” and was accepted by teachers so therefore the spelling of words were not corrected in written assignments. This practice perpetuated an increasing amount of errors in all of the student’s written work. One reason stated for the acceptance of “inventive spelling” was that educators did not want to harm the self esteem of the beginning writer. I also began to realize that some teachers had other jobs after their jobs teaching at school, where the acceptance of “inventive spelling” for example, became a convenient reason not to thoroughly correct student’s work. When I attended public school, the quantity of assignments and instructional practice was much greater necessitating plenty of teacher time required, to correct the work of students. In my opinion, many so called “learning disabled” children fail to understand certain disorganized classroom procedures and the general dynamics of the classroom. In addition, it was not uncommon for one third of students in a classroom to be under the influence of the teratogenic drug Ritalin ingested for apparent concentration problems. The potential for short and long term detrimental effects of this drug on children and others warrants investigation. It should also be noted here that certain apparel worn by some students distracts other students from their studies. For example, shoes with flashing lights, regardless of what school personnel may tell one, causes a distraction to many people including students and teachers. Retrospective: If I had been previously informed that the casket was to remain open during father in laws Russian Orthodox funeral ceremony, young daughter and son would not have attended this mass. I thought the process in the selection of a coffin to be bizarre and unnerving. It is my opinion that all people, after death, should have the same decent coffin. The first Bible our family received was thankfully provided by the arrangers of the wake. This Bible greatly assisted me by the beginning of this century, in the understanding of how religion, history, social studies, and science are interrelated. After reviewing father in laws hospital bill, apparently every greeting by a physician cost at least $100, as there were many charges on the bill for about this amount. In conjunction with a return to morality in the general society which consists of abiding by The Ten Commandments and avoiding Capital Sins and Abominations, to help correct the learning problems of children, a return to individual seating arrangements with a greater reliance on textbook, workbook, and writing instruction would likely eliminate the decline of student academic achievement that is so prevalent in the public schools today. It is also suggested that to significantly increase student achievement, Bible study should be incorporated into all public school curriculum because any education is grossly incomplete without this study. With the implementation of these suggestions, children become self motivated and self rewarded when good work is accomplished at school which eliminates the need for special privileges or materialistic rewards to be disbursed to students, for accomplishing school requirements. Perhaps the lengthy summer vacation should be reduced to prevent the loss of some school skills requiring extensive reviews in the next grade, to regain these skills. Historical Accounts 1992: 47 A war between El Salvador and rebels ends on January 16 after twelve years of fighting that resulted in the deaths of seventy five thousand people. 119 Hurricane Andrew strikes South Florida on August 23 causing $26.5 billion in damages. No human casualties are reported. Hurricane Iniki that caused $1.8 billion in damages to the Hawaiian Islands of Kauai and O’ahu on September 11 was reported to have caused six deaths. Riots beginning in December in India kill more than one thousand people. An earthquake in Indonesia on December 12 kills approximately two thousand five hundred people. A civil war in Afghanistan that continues to this day has killed more than one million people. NASA launches the first flight of space shuttle Endeavour. Remarks: It appears that some major storms incredibly and unbelievably, have resulted in relatively low human casualties. 1993 By January, I had completed the studies at the university, for a master’s degree in elementary education. I attended the graduation ceremony in May earning a MS (master in science) degree with a 4.0 graduating cumulative grade point average. At about this time, one planned to return to academia to earn a PhD in a field of which I was uncertain. Most of our spare time during the spring, summer, and autumn was consumed with repairing the inherited house of father in law. Spouse and I desired to rent the house until the time daughter and son were grown where we seriously contemplated dividing the property in two and giving each child a half acre lot to build their own home. I wanted daughter and son to remain close throughout their lives, assisting each other when needs arose. The house was a small two bedroom cottage that was originally built in the 1920’s most likely used as a summer home as there was no insulation in the outside walls. Some of the interior of the exterior walls were removed due to extensive damage where we noted that newspapers from the 1920’s were used as what appeared to be, a kind of insulation between the inside lathe and the outside wall. Father, brother, spouse, and I insulated the exterior walls and then sheet rocked the interior side of the walls. The house water was derived from a well on the property that left rust stains on the porcelain plumbing fixtures. The health department was contacted to test the safety of this water for consumption. It was determined by them that the water was safe to drink, but contained a high iron content caused from the pipe leading from the well to the house. The rust stains necessitated the cleaning of the porcelain fixtures daily so I investigated connecting a water pipe from the house to town water. A neighbor told me that there was a waterline in the street running adjacent to the house. This was also verified to me by a representative of the water company. With this information, an excavator was hired to dig a trench for the waterline. A plumber was hired to convert the well water system to a town water system and to install the water pipe from the house to the street. When the line was ready to be connected, I telephoned the water company to schedule a connection 120 date. At about this time, I was informed by the water company that there was no water line in the roadway in front of the house. I was greatly perturbed at the original information provided to me by a water company representative and requested that restitution be paid to reimburse us for the expenses incurred that were apparently due to the negligence of a water company employee. After much contact with the water company, restitution for costs incurred were finally provided by this corporation. Months later, another neighbor positively informed me that there was a water line in the road that extended for the entire length of the road. A business that specialized in the sale and installation of carpet was hired to provide flooring in an area of the house. Instead of parking their large truck on the driveway and carrying the rolled carpet to the house, the driver of the truck drove this vehicle onto the lawn and as far as possible to the door of the house. After the carpet was installed, the driver of the truck attempted to back out of the yard. The truck tires became stuck in the soft soil under the grass leaving us with a significantly damaged front yard to repair. An apology was offered by the carpet company. In early autumn, the house was in good condition and available to be rented. Our philosophy regarding the determination of a rental fee was to set a monthly rental price significantly below comparable rentals in the area. Through this reduced rent, spouse and I hoped that the tenant would be satisfied and would not damage the property. By October, spouse rented the house to a man and his elderly mother. Spouse was impressed that this man knew much about construction and even offered to make minor repairs on the house if needed. I had mentioned to the tenants that the electric heat in the house could result in large utility bills for these renters. The tenant seemed unconcerned with this notification until receiving the first bill. Within two months, the tenant expressed his outrage over the cost of this energy source. At this time, spouse and I purchased a wood burning stove that was inserted into the fireplace of the home. Thereafter, the tenant complained that the house was too hot requiring the opening of windows. I applied for an elementary teaching school job with three school districts near to our home. I was hoping to receive a teaching job that was confirmed by the late spring, to begin in September as I believed that summer preparation would provide for a good classroom organization and plan. But for the interim, I applied to several school districts for substitute teaching and was called in to substitute in many classrooms. Substitute teaching can be anxiety producing as one never knows what to expect in each new classroom of assignment. Some teachers leave no plan or minimal plan for the day. Student’s many times also take advantage of the substitute teacher’s unfamiliarity with a classroom routine and behave atrociously. Other teachers are better organized for absences with plenty of review work that is clearly labeled for use by the substitute teacher. Sometimes the students in these classrooms are also previously advised that there will be a punishment for misbehaving with a substitute teacher. Some of my experiences substituting were in special education classrooms. These classrooms contained less than one half of the number of students of a regular classroom. Here I noted a wide range of abilities and disabilities of the students contained in one classroom. Some students appeared to be normal while others appeared retarded. I wondered about the effect of those students with greater disabilities on those students who appeared normal. I was also astonished at the number of special education classrooms contained in some elementary schools. When I attended elementary school in the same area, special education classes were virtually nonexistent. Except for special education, where there are 121 usually two teachers assigned to a classroom, I can offer some suggestions to classroom teachers for the smooth functioning of their class during times of teacher absences with the following: Assign to substitute teachers the class reading of textbooks where students can take turns orally reading from the textbook. Assign review questions usually shown at the end of textbook chapters, to be answered in written format and returned to the teacher. Assign review tests to maintain order and quiet in the classroom. Provide the substitute with plenty of worksheet materials. Provide a book of literature to be read to the class by the substitute teacher. Ask the substitute teacher to provide the names of those students who are misbehaving for future punishment. By September, I had not procured a teaching job but was offered a job of teaching assistant which I accepted in my mind as a one year “stepping stone” to a permanent teaching job. This teaching assistant job was part time where I worked with small groups of students on reading, writing, and comprehension skills. It is my opinion that the noise level permeating from other reading groups contained in the classroom results in a distraction that effects the concentration of both students and teachers. A suggestion was provided by spouse and me to son during this autumn, to join a young boys’ soccer team that was established in the area. Son was congenial to this suggestion and so he became a member of this young boy’s team. There were a few practices prior to the first game played where the coaches introduced the boys to the rules and mechanics of the game. The first game was played between two teams on a middle school’s sports field. During the game, I could not believe how the tempers of some people and one particular coach were flaring based on some of the young boy’s performances on the field which seemed to create further anxiety in the boys. One boy was found running in the wrong direction and was subjected to the red faced anger and derogatory remarks of a coach. After viewing this incident, spouse and I decided that son would no longer be participating in this sport. One snowy, cold and icy winter evening after gratefully arriving safely home from work and errands, I realized that there were few groceries in our home to prepare dinner. One of our children suggested that food be ordered from a restaurant providing delivery service. I stated to daughter and son that if one believes that the weather to be too dangerous for driving, then one should not expect another to drive in said weather to service the person who is unwilling to venture out in the weather him or herself. Years later a person known to me and as part of the person’s job requirement, was to deliver prepared foods to people. This person stated that food delivery requests to private homes are busiest during snow and ice storms and other dangerous inclement weather. In the spring, spouse, daughter, son, and I vacationed for about one week and a half on the Hawaiian Island of Maui. We received an excellent discounted price by a major hotel which prompted us to make these vacation travel arrangements. We realized why the special deal was offered after we arrived at the hotel. The hotel swimming pool was not available for use as it was being repaired and refurbished. I remarked to spouse that people should be informed of facts such as this by a hotel prior to confirming reservations with payment. We spent our holiday visit bathing in the beautiful warm ocean, touring a plantation, visiting a sugar museum, ascending to the crater of a large volcano, whale watching, and 122 exploring an interesting roadway with sights along the way to a well known town. Unbeknownst to spouse and I, the visit to the top of the volcano required the wearing of a sweater or jacket as the temperature was below freezing with flurries of snow. Needless to say, we were uncomfortable walking around this crater in summer attire. The road to a popular town with renowned sights along the way suddenly found us driving on a one lane road designated for two way traffic. In addition, this section of the road was constructed on the side of a high mountain with no guard rails installed, to prevent a vehicle from possibly descending off of this mountainous cliff side road. I was petrified and hoped that a car would not be coming from the opposite direction. At one point along the way we were finally able to turn the car around. Family members in our rented vehicle were silent until we safely arrived back on the roadway off of the mountain. I remarked to spouse that signs should be posted warning people not to drive on this dangerous stretch of roadway. There is a kind of bird native to Maui that caused me considerable angst while driving. This bird is a mynah bird that travels in small groups and lands at an alarming rate on roadways in front of oncoming traffic. I remarked to family that this kind of bird appears to be suicidal. Having a good time on the island of Maui, we departed with many souvenirs and sections of Plumeria branches that did bloom after a year in potted soil. Retrospective: It appears as though some people purposely try to aggravate and harass other people for apparently no rhyme or reason. In an evil society, it is very difficult to please many people. All people should be informed of procedures, requirements and other “surprises” applicable to them before agreeing to become involved in a situation. I was aghast to find such a dangerous section of roadway in the United States, State of Hawaii. I could not find any information to explain the strange behavior of the Hawaiian mynah birds. Historical Accounts 1993: 48 United States President Clinton reverses most all pro-life progress in government accomplished over many years on January 22. 49 A ferry accident in Haiti on February 17 kills one thousand two hundred and fifteen people. There is an attempt to blow up the World Trade Center from a parking garage in the North Tower on February 26. Six people die in this explosion. The World Health Organization declares a crisis on April 23 due to the resurgence of tuberculosis. Pope John Paul issues encyclical Veritatis Splendor on August 6. More than one thousand people are killed in Operation Gothic Serpent in Somalia between August 22 and October 13. More than ten thousand people die in an earthquake on September 30 in India. NASA launches space shuttle Endeavour to repair the Hubble Telescope. 123 Remarks: Five executive orders regulating abortion are rescinded with a signature implemented with the sweeps of a pen. 1994 In June, I completed an application and interviewed for a teaching job at the school where I was teacher assisting. I was astonished at the number of people participating in this first interview. At a round table sat several teachers and a school administrator where I was questioned by this group on how I would teach and manage a classroom of students. My ideas were contrary to some of the accepted school practices. I believed that a return to the traditional methods of instruction to include a strong reliance on textbook, workbook, and other relevant materials were the way to successfully teach students. I also stated that to prevent confusion and disorganization, all students in a classroom should be “on the same page at the same time” as this philosophy has been proven to be an effective way to teach and learn. After the interview, it was commented to me by a member of the interview group that the presentation was good, but the content was rejected. However, I was invited to remain in my current position of teaching assistant. I departed this job in June, at the end of the school year. In the early months of this year, I suggested to brother that we host a party for mother and father for their fortieth, ruby wedding anniversary. Brother and his wife thought this to be a good idea but due to their time constraints, could not be involved in the planning process. I offered to plan the party and brother and his wife offered to pay half of the party costs. Reservations were secured at a reception hall for a Sunday afternoon to accommodate seventy five people. A variety of hors d’oeuvres were arranged to be served in a room adjacent to the dining room. Three different entrées were selected to be offered to the guests at the sit down dinner and a three tiered cake was selected to be served for dessert. After confirming these arrangements with the reception hall, I reserved a disc jockey and a photographer for that date. Custom invitations were ordered through a greeting card store where mother and father’s wedding picture was portrayed on the front of the invitation. In addition, small bottles of wine were purchased as party favors and personalized with mother and father’s anniversary date. The total costs for this anniversary party were less than one fifth the costs of a comparable wedding reception. A week following the anniversary party, son having completed the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the requirements for the Sacrament of Communion, participated with other children in receiving this first Holy Communion Host. Because of the large party held for mother and father the week prior, a small gathering with immediate family celebrated this occasion at a favorite restaurant. By the early spring, the tenant was in arrears with his rental payments. His elderly mother who was apparently helping to pay the rent had moved out of the house. The tenant repeatedly provided me with checks returned for insufficient funds. Due to these circumstances I insisted to him that he pay the rent in cash which he did on two occasions. But by the summer, the tenant was at least two months behind in rent payments and I was becoming increasingly aggravated with him and his excuses. At that time, I was beginning to think of filing eviction proceedings against him. Shortly thereafter, I was contacted by an attorney that the tenant had hired so that he could remain in our house without paying 124 rent. I could not believe that this action was legal. Deciding to take matters into my own hands, I informed the tenant that he could remain in our house but that spouse, daughter, son, and I would be moving in with him. At that point, the tenant moved out leaving his Argentinean Mastiff for us to care for, for the next eight years. Years later, at a shopping center the attorney who assisted the tenant to remain in our house without paying rent, was handing out political flyers to promote himself for the political office of judge. I reminded the attorney of this incident and remarked that he had gall to solicit my vote for this office of judge. He told me to leave or he would contact the police. I left and made a personal visit to the police station to report him. This person became judge in town for many years. Our two week summer vacation was enjoyed visiting the national parks of Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Slide Rock and Red Rock. The planning of this vacation began on a snowy day in January when I reserved accommodations at Yellowstone for a three night stay at different lodges within the park. In July, airline transportation brought spouse, daughter, son, and I to an airport in Montana. There we assumed our reserved rental car and drove to the north end of Yellowstone Park requiring us to pass through a high mountain range. Just prior to crossing the mountain pass, we visited a town where I entered the largest candy store ever seen. A family restaurant where we dined provided us with our first tasty meal of chicken fried steak. After dinner we proceeded on our journey through the mountain pass. At the top of the mountain it was snowing and icy making driving hazardous. The natural beauty of this area however was breathtaking. Various kinds of wildlife abounded throughout Yellowstone Park and incredible geological wonders of nature astounded us. Also impressive were the other parks visited in the nearby area that provided us with a well needed natural, fresh air atmosphere of enjoyment and relaxation. We departed for home, happy and satisfied, from an airport in Arizona. For son’s birthday, a party was arranged at the local bowling alley. I was asked by a bowling alley employee if I would like wedges placed in the gutters of the two lanes reserved. I stated of course not and asked the reason for this strange inquiry. I was told that some children become upset when their ball falls into the gutter and so to prevent disappointment and to provide for a child’s positive self esteem, wedges are placed in the gutter that results in all children knocking down pins. I began noticing many children with braces on their teeth. I asked a friendly acquaintance why her daughter was wearing braces as this girl had straight teeth. She informed me of some obscure problem that was virtually undetectable. Years later, a dentist stated that daughter and son needed braces. I declined this absurd recommendation as both our children had straight teeth. During the early 1990’s, I became increasingly aware of a DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program offered to the public schools through local police departments. Many schools participated in this weekly program that required time allotted away from school curriculum, to address the societal illegal and rampant drug problem. Some children who were left ignorant of drugs and their uses became well versed in the many varieties of drugs and the effects of these drugs on the human body. The program was engaging, exciting, and involved students in role playing. The automobiles driven by the 125 police officers were vehicles confiscated from drug dealers. These cars were often “hot rod” vehicles that attracted the student’s attention and were awe inspiring to some youths. At one open house, I noticed and read essays that were written by students and posted in the classroom and the corridor of the school. The topic of the essay paraphrasing was “If one wish or want could be fulfilled, what would you ask for”. Most of the content of student’s essays consisted of the desiring of material goods or personal attributes related to an aptness in sports. Few essays contained desires for the resolutions of national and world problems. In 1989, localities in the State of New York began enacting a series of laws regarding the mandatory wearing of bicycle helmets. The laws first applied to children under the age of five years of age, and then in later years, expanded to include all ages in some counties. To some people, this law is considerably oppressive and could be dangerous for one’s health as most body heat escapes from the head. The wearing of a helmet could cause some people to overheat, causing heat related stress to the body to include for examples, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Individuals should be relied on to make common sense decisions regarding the wearing of a bicycle helmet. For example, when first learning to ride a bicycle perhaps a helmet should be worn, or if one rides a “racing bicycle” ( a bicycle with thin tires) that can skid easily, then perhaps a helmet should also be worn. In the autumn while outside raking leaves in our yard, a bus on a scheduled route was driving past our home. Suddenly, I heard the brakes of the large bus come to a screeching halt to probably avoid hitting a car that I had seen at about the same time which was turning around and exiting from a neighbor’s driveway. The driver of the bus exited that vehicle and asked to use our telephone because a man who was standing on the bus had fallen to the floor and was injured. The paramedics were called and arrived at the scene and the man was taken away to a hospital by ambulance. At about this time, I observed a car and a driver driving by this accident scene, that appeared to be the same car seen turning around earlier in the neighbor’s driveway. I noted the license plate number and provided this to a police officer called to the scene. By about the following week, I was asked to give two testimonies concerning the observation of this accident, one to a bus company representative and one to an insurance representative. Later in 1998, an attorney contacted me at me at my home in Florida and wanted me to testify in court. I stated that the officials involved in this case had my written testimony given in 1994 and I asked why there was a need for me to appear in court. The attorney stated that the passenger who was standing on the bus and had fallen to the floor was suing the bus company, the person pulling out of the neighbor’s driveway was involved, and there were other problems surrounding this case. The attorney offered to pay my airfare to New York to testify in court. I declined this offer and stated that our family would soon be moving back to our residence in New York. I also stated that the testimony that I had given in 1994 was accurate and I questioned my ability, four years later to recall the specifics of this witnessed accident. Shortly after arriving home in New York in early 1999, an attorney contacted me to meet at an office located in the town of my residence in New York . After agreeing to meet with this attorney I was astonished to realize that the meeting was attended by several attorneys about the specifics of my 1994 testimony. It appeared to me as though through much probing of these several 126 attorneys that they were trying to convince me through various means to change my 1994 testimony. Later in the summer of 1999, and after and during evil attacks from evildoers from within the society, a private investigator came to my home to ask me to sign a paper that was contrary to my original testimony. After a significant amount of preceived verbal coercion, I still refused to sign this paper. Later in the autumn of 1999, another attorney came to my home one evening after I arrived home from work and stated to me that I would be monetarily paid to give my testimony in court concerning this case. At that point, I became perturbed and told this attorney that I would no longer be assisting them in this litigation. Retrospective: It is good for business to employ over qualified people in low paid jobs. Price gouging seems to be evident for certain celebrations. The laws in the United States seem to protect immoral people to the detriment of moral people. A vacation in a natural, pristine environment provides for peace of mind. Disappointments are an expectation of life for which children should be well prepared. Skill is not mastered when cheating is permissible. Installing braces on the teeth of children for little to no reason is one of many examples as to the reason why many of us pay extraordinarily high insurance premiums. In some ways, the DARE program could entice some students into becoming involved with drugs due to the many exciting aspects, fanfare, and content of the presentations. When I attended junior high school, students were required to individually submit an extensive semester report for a class in health, on the dangers of drug use. The corrupt treatment of witnesses by authorities is perhaps one reason why people do not want to become involved or assist in helping others in legal or other situations. All passengers should remain seated on a bus until the bus stops. Historical Accounts 1994: 50 In January, a United States physician’s organization endorses the training of laymen to provide abortions. The Rwandan genocide begins in April resulting in the estimated murders of one million people. A tunnel connecting England with France is completed on May 6. Sweden legalizes civil unions between homosexuals on December 19. The NASA space probe Magellan is destroyed in the atmosphere of Venus. Brazil defeats Italy to win the world soccer cup. Remarks: Blood money is satisfied with the deaths of multitudes of people. An engineering feat is completed after many years. Back alley abortionists are resurfacing. The acceptance of homosexuality, thereby increasing the prevalence of homosexuality, is agreed upon by the mainstream society. 127 1995 The firm of spouse’s employment advised him of the necessity to relocate to South Florida. I thought this directive to be incredulous and asked spouse for clarification and the firm’s reasons and motives for this transfer of our family. Among other reasons, spouse stated that a consolidation of a sales department was desired by management. I inquired of spouse about the possibility of seeking another job within the industry of his experience but he was not pleased with this suggestion as he liked his current job at this firm. Deciding to make the best of the situation, we were invited on an exploratory visit by the corporation, to view our possible new area of residency. So in February, spouse, daughter, son, and I departed for a long weekend to a city in South Florida. Combining leisure activities with inquiries into the costs of housing in the area, we departed South Florida with a positive preliminary view and attitude concerning this relocation. A major concern of mine regarding the move was the quality of education in this area as I had heard negative comments concerning the city’s public schools. One stipulation that I had with regard to the move, is that we maintain our residence in New York to provide an easier return for our family should the transfer be deemed detrimental. In April, spouse, daughter, son, and I departed for a long weekend on a house seeking expedition to South Florida, leaving our two dogs a Golden Retriever and an Argentinean Mastiff, in the care of mother and father. After viewing several houses, spouse and I settled on purchasing the first house viewed, a four bedroom ranch house built in 1960, with a nice pool on one third acre of property that was situated on a main road but was abutting a typical 1960’s, early 1970’s neighborhood. It was at about this time that I began noticing the confusing and disorganized layouts of some of the newer homes built. Some of these homes provided me with the sense of being in a maze. Bedrooms were scattered throughout some houses and not confined to a specific area. Open living areas made it difficult for me to discern exactly which room I was viewing. Realtors stated that rooms such as these could be designated for any desired living area. I rejected this kind of house based on in my opinion, a disorganized private living area. Another house viewed that was for sale was owned by a retired career military man and his wife who raised four children in the home built sometime during the early 1970’s. The home was located in a nice neighborhood of similarly styled homes. The home featured four comfortably sized bedrooms, an extra large living room containing a large television set that was obtrusive, no dining room and a very small kitchen barely fitting a table built for two. I wondered how a family of six could have shared their meal together in this tiny kitchen. The reason for the skewed size rooms of the kitchen and living room, with no dining room became more than apparent to me by 2013. The corporation had hired a relocation consulting business to provide us with information concerning various aspects of the area, including the school districts. The home we purchased was purportedly in a good school district of this area of South Florida. Still uncomfortable with the schools, I decided to investigate private and parochial schools in the area after moving into the house in early summer. Upon arriving home from this April trip, a very injured Argentinean Mastiff greeted us at the door of mother and father’s house. Upset about the physical appearance and condition of this animal, mother told me that the dog had broken through an all glass door of their house after spying a cat in the backyard. The dog, bleeding profusely, was taken by mother and father to a veterinarian where many stitches were required. After several weeks recuperation, the dog recovered. 128 Daughter and son seemed to be pleased and happy concerning this move but were dismayed with leaving school friends who were invited to visit us if in the area of our new home. Over this three year transfer period, several friends, immediate family members, and extended family members did visit us. During the time of the proceedings to close on the house in Florida, I contacted a realtor to rent our residence in New York to pay for our taxes and other costs on this residence. The house was leased to a congenial couple and their child. Previously, reliable and responsible tenants were selected by me to lease father in laws former house. Mother agreed to collect the rents, pay the taxes, mortgage, and other expenses and handle minor repairs through the contacting of tradesmen if necessary. This was a big relief to me as I was unsure how I would manage this real estate from a distance of over a thousand miles. At that time, I had a local or location mentality where I believed that physical presence in an area was a necessary ingredient for functionality. And so, with the above concerns resolved, mother, a cousin, and I departed for Florida to paint the newly purchased house and arrange for new carpeting to be installed in this home. Minor repairs were also necessary which we decided to resolve after moving into the house. Prior to moving, I discussed with daughter and son the sorting through of their numerous toys and the subsequent decisions involved in deciding which toys to keep. I too decided to purge our home of unwanted or unnecessary household belongings. We decided to sell these items at our first and only garage/yard sale. Most all of the items were priced under $5.00 with the majority of items priced below $1.00. I could not believe how some people still insisted on bargaining to receive a cheaper price on an already ridiculously low price. At that point, I decided that in the future I would donate all unwanted household items to charity. On a hot, stifling day in early July, we supervised the moving company who loaded our furnishings and belongings into a large truck to be moved into the newly purchased home in Florida. The truck departed one day prior to our family as we decided to spend the night at mother and father’s house, to start fresh on our travel early the next morning. We awoke early the following day and drove to our home to survey the house for the last time prior to the moving in of tenants. While out on the deck of the house, spouse saw our cat that had disappeared months earlier, running towards our home. The cat bounded onto the deck, excited and seemingly relieved to see us. We were pleased that this cared for pet returned to us who was apparently lost for months in the neighborhood, but I could not believe the cat returned at such an inopportune time. Fortunately, mother and father had a cat carrier available for us to use on this extensive road travel trip to South Florida. So, before 9:00 am, spouse, daughter, son, and I departed in two vehicles for Florida. In addition to two people in each car, each car contained a large dog, one car contained our long lost cat, and the other car contained daughter’s gerbils. Our trek to Florida involved several stops along the way to relieve ourselves and our pets. We stayed overnight at a middle way point in South Carolina. The following day, we passed the moving truck containing our belongings on the interstate and early the next morning, we met the moving truck at our home in Florida. After unpacking and settling into this house, many minor repairs were made by ourselves and through the hiring of tradesmen. There were substantial differentials in the costs to hire 129 tradesmen in Florida versus New York where qualified people in Florida could be hired for considerably less money. A first priority was to investigate the schools in the area. The elementary school son would attend I believed to be aesthetically and academically sufficient. The middle school daughter would attend I was not impressed with due to two factors. The physical appearance of the school was a windowless building reminding me of a jail. Also, many school personnel were inattentive in acknowledging me as I waited for a considerable time at a counter in the school’s administrative office, before leaving. It was at this time that I thought about homeschooling but as I had no internet access, I was lost in understanding on how to proceed with this arrangement and time was of the essence as the beginning of school was just a few weeks away. Private schools in the area were for the most part were expensive and some of the curriculum shown to be taught at some of these schools, appeared odd to me. Finally, spouse and I decided to send daughter and son to a Catholic school where I transported our children back and forth on a weekday daily basis. Daughter and son liked this school and son became involved in school activities. Son joined the Boy Scouts and the school track team and received a commendation from a Florida congressional representative for academic excellence. Daughter continued with her previous interest in gymnastics. Throughout childhood that began with the planting of flower seeds that were purchased through a PTA school fundraiser and enjoying the results of these plantings, I increasingly developed throughout my life an interest in plants and gardening. The house spouse and I purchased in South Florida was set on a property containing many unusual and interesting trees, shrubs, and plants. As a matter of fact, one reason for purchasing this house was that an old majestic ficus (banyon) tree was located on the front yard of the property. The yard contained other trees such as coconut palms, carambola (star fruit), papaya, guava, mango, sugar apple, jack fruit, longan ( bearing fruit similar to lychee in taste), tamarind (used to manufacture worcestershire sauce), meyer lemon (a green citrus fruit resembling a lime), wax jambu otherwise known as a rose apple and more. I learned that due to nematodes and other pests inhabiting the soil that it is required that citrus trees and some other varieties of trees in South Florida need to be grafted onto the roots of another tree that is immune to these pests, to insure healthy growth. One fruit tree that was especially prolific in fruit yield in our yard was the sugar apple. One stated to spouse that this fruit could easily compete with the sugar cane industry in quantity available related to price to offer people an alternative to cane sugar. In other words, I believe that the same amount or weight of sugar apple fructose sugar could be purchased for the same or similar price as sugar cane based on the prolific yield of this tree. Fructose as some people know is healthier and more easily metabolized by the body than sucrose and so is especially beneficial to the digestive systems of children and the elderly. The method to derive sugar from the sugar apple would also likely be simpler than the processes involved in deriving sugar from cane. One day after shopping in a local supermarket, a horrific thunderstorm began just minutes before I was about to exit the supermarket. After waiting for sometime in the store, the rain unabatedly continued. A store employee offered and then gave me an umbrella someone else had lost, to shield me from this 130 extended and heavy rainstorm. The employee insisted that I keep the umbrella. This act of kindness was unexpected. When first arriving at our home in South Florida, I realized how attuned I was to the surrounding perimeter of my being. On our property and throughout the area many quickly moving lizards dwelled causing me to jump with each movement of these creatures that were within the vicinity. By the end of our stay in Florida, I was no longer as jumpy and was more relaxed with the disturbing actions of not only lizards but of others, including both animals and people. I credit this “lizard training” for providing me with a more relaxed disposition. During the summer, I encouraged daughter and son to become familiar with the neighborhood and hopefully meet other children within their age group. A park was nearby that I gave permission for daughter and son to independently visit. One day daughter and son arrived home from this park with a pail filled with water containing mosquito fish that they had caught in a canal in the park. I looked at their legs thinking that mud was splattered on their calves and shins. Within seconds I realized that this was not mud but leeches. I forbid them to venture into this canal for this reason. A few weeks later I provided daughter and son with another good reason for not entering the canal as I viewed a water moccasin snake curled up at the canal’s water’s edge. A short time later, I was disturbed by a story in the local newspaper of a young boy who was murdered on his way home from school. I did not allow daughter and son to independently visit this park again after reading this story. Retrospective: I had nagging thoughts that we may not like this new area and mistrusted the corporation’s reasons for the relocation. I had heard about other people who were relocated due to a corporate move who regretted selling their home in their former area of residence, as they later found themselves without a job shortly after moving. If my family was contented in Florida after approximately five years, we intended to sell our residence in New York but maintain father in laws former home. I found the relocation expert hired by the corporation to be helpful in familiarizing us with living in this new area of the country. The consultant hired was a person who lived in this area of South Florida for many years and thus could offer much advice as well as statistical information. An all glass door has been responsible for many injuries and deaths over the years. It is wise to attach decals or some other identification to clear glass so both people and animals recognize this kind of barrier and door. Some people who are unfamiliar with the computer and the internet still view life on a local level. We more frequently had repairs accomplished on our home in Florida due to the reduced costs of hiring tradesmen. Home schooling children is much easier today because of the internet as much and varied school curriculum can be found on this medium. At times I saw groups of children jumping from a bridge in the nearby park into the canal to swim. Perhaps the posting of signs regarding dangerous wildlife inhabiting the canals such as poisonous snakes and alligators would dissuade youths from this activity. Historical Accounts 1995: 51 An earthquake occurring on January 17 in Japan kills about five thousand people. 131 The Dow Jones Industrial Average surpasses 4000 for the first time on February 23. A computer hacker is arrested for infiltrating security protected computer systems on February 15. Pope John Paul II issues the encyclical The Gospel of Life on March 30. Valeri Polyakov becomes the first person to remain the longest in space on March 22. A bomb destroys a large United States federal building on April 19 in the State of Oklahoma killing one hundred and sixty eight people. An earthquake in Russia occurring on May 28 kills about two thousand people. About eight thousand five hundred people are killed in Bosnia. NASA’s space shuttle Atlantis docks with the Russian Mir space station. Remarks: Spouse returned from a business trip in the former country of Yugoslavia and showed me a book given to him there. The book depicted artist renditions of the Bosnian genocide where the heads of people were shown being kicked around a field like balls. It was suggested that we deliver this book to the United Nations. One was horrified at these renditions and discarded the book. A member of a militia group destroys a government building in Oklahoma. Later, in 2002, I became aware that apparently this person was found to have in his possession the Operation Vampire Killer 2000 report. 1996 Early in this year, I was informed by a family member that grandmother, the widow of Italian grandfather had acquired a terminal illness. I was upset and perturbed that kind and congenial grandmother was suffering. In August, spouse and I visited with her at her apartment where she was being cared for by a competent and efficient Polish woman who was referred to a family member by the Hospice organization. I was saddened during this visit and could not think of what to say. Spouse did most of the talking to her and I was amazed at how lucid grandmother was as she responded well to a discussion and conversed intelligently with spouse. It was recommended to us on this visit that we not return to Florida as the expectation was that grandmother would die within a few days. Annoyed with this statement, I returned to Florida with spouse as I did believe in miracles and no human being knows when another human being will die. Life and death are the jurisdiction of God. The following day in the month of August and after arriving back in Florida, a telephone call was received that beloved grandmother had passed away. I immediately made arrangements with an airline to transport me back to New Jersey to attend grandmother’s funeral. By January, we were well settled into our home and had become familiar with the area of our residence in Florida. I was busy maintaining the house and yard when I realized that four full days were required to maintain the premises with Friday reserved for a shopping day. In Florida, the constant raking of leaves was added to outdoor responsibilities as tropical trees are always shedding their leaves. Spraying to 132 eliminate bugs was also added to my weekly repertoire. Saturdays and Sundays were reserved for family time. One beach we inadvertently visited on a section of long beach allowed topless women bathers. No sign that we viewed informed us of this fact. We vowed never to return to this area of beach and inquired about and discovered a “family beach”. Later however and in 1998 we saw a young woman on this “family beach” completely naked and apparently on drugs who was being tormented by some men. An interesting visit to a national park culminated in producing an anxiety in me as alligators roamed freely on pedestrian walkways. Another park we visited near to our home to swim and sunbathe had many raccoons roaming throughout the park that picked through the trash barrels. I expressed my concern to spouse that these animals could be carrying the rabies virus because raccoons by nature are nocturnal animals. After smelling a foul odor and noting a large pipe running under this body of water used for swimming and wading, I thought perhaps that this bathing area was contaminated with sewerage, so for two reasons we no longer returned to this park to swim and bathe. Eventually, we discovered quieter areas of beach to visit that were not as decadent and bizarre. The home purchased by spouse and I was about one half mile from a large salt water bay. One day while driving along a roadway adjacent to the bay, I noticed an old house that was left to deteriorate facing the bay that exhibited a sandy beach area in the back of the dilapidated structure. That evening at dinner, one wondered to spouse why smaller beach areas were not available for community enjoyment alongside this bay. In planning an outing to the beach in this area of South Florida, one needed to drive many miles away and through much traffic to attend designated crowded beach areas where exposures to considerable immoralities were occurring to those attending these beaches. A few times, we enjoyed excursions on an airboat which brought us through a major wetland area that contained alligators, unusual and interesting birds, and fish. At some point during this airboat excursion people on the boat were invited by the guide to step out of the airboat barefoot and onto a spongy, water covered moss contained in the wetland. Later, I realized how potentially dangerous this action was as the marsh contained, in addition to alligators, many poisonous snakes. On one visit to a wildlife sanctuary, I viewed a young couple who was picnicking along a brackish water tributary that led to the ocean. They were eating food from Styrofoam containers and when finished eating threw these containers, bags, and other garbage into the tributary. I was greatly perturbed as I watched this garbage float away in this pristine, natural area. For my birthday, greeting cards were received from people of my acquaintance. After thoroughly cleaning our home either on or near my birthday, I received a birthday greeting card in the mail one afternoon. Sitting down at our dining room table, I proceeded to open the mail beginning with this birthday card. Upon opening the card, I discovered it to be filled with sequins, small pieces of confetti, and glitter. I was annoyed as this mess spilled onto our dining room table but was relieved that I did not open the card while standing inside the area of our home. Through a discussion with an acquaintance of who was of Cuban heredity, I discovered that vital medicines such as inexpensive antibiotics were being withheld from many people living in Cuba, 133 resulting for some people in early deaths. The person explained to me further that when this person or other family members visited with a physician for their health concerns that they would ask the physician to prescribe extra antibiotics. This person would then mail the unused antibiotics to extended family residing in Cuba. On one occasion while we were entertaining a young child visitor from New York, I reserved accommodations for the five of us to depart on a one day cruise that began in the morning and ended in the late afternoon. There were a considerable number of children aboard this small ship. After lunch time dining, the passengers were invited to attend a show in the lounge/auditorium. Some of the content of the show was extremely lewd and pornographic and definitely not appropriate for children. I stated to spouse that all people should be advised of a show’s licentious content prior to entering the lounge/auditorium, to view a show. As a family, we became members to area zoos, a botanical garden, and a planetarium and wildlife center. These memberships were relatively inexpensive and provided us with free unlimited admission to the facilities for one year. I particularly enjoyed our visits to the botanical garden and daughter and son enjoyed the zoos and animal parks. I began to realize that one aspect contained in most animal parks is a program where an “expert” discusses the various habitats and habits of some animals to an audience of park visitors. The expert many times, handles the wild animals and sometimes invites audience members to do the same. These kinds of presentations lead some people, including children to believe that they can handle wildlife when finding these creatures in the natural environment. I would constantly remind daughter and son that a snake bite by a non venomous snake could still cause an infection and a bite by a wild animal could cause disease. Daughter joined with other girls from her school to participate in a cooking contest that was held at a county fair in a large park. Upon paying admission at a booth and entering the park fairgrounds, I immediately noticed people bungee jumping from a high platform. This activity created an anxiety in me where I chose not to watch these bungee participants. I believe this activity to be crazy and dangerous. Also at this fair was a large tented area containing farm animals. Noticing a large crowd of people gathered in one area of the tent, I ventured there to see what was occurring. There I saw a highly distressed cow giving birth to a calf. I thought this to be disgraceful and cruel to the animal to have her give birth in such a crowded with people and unfamiliar area. I was also concerned with some people who viewed this trauma, including children, as much blood surrounded the birth area. Another component of this fair was an exhibit of Native American Indian crafts, and various demonstrations of American Indian culture including dance and instruction in the ways of Native American Indians. It was here that I was informed that Native American Indians were permitted by the government to kill endangered species such as the Florida panther. I believed and stated to spouse, that this law of exception contributes to an animosity by some people within the general population, to a prejudice against Native American Indians. Daughter’s team of two girls, were judged to win a third place ribbon for a meal prepared. 134 Son became involved with a Boy Scout group from school where he embarked on a camping excursion with spouse and some others in the group to a camping area on the bank of a large lake. During the night a large storm struck the area that caused considerable angst to both spouse and son as they huddled together in a small tent. Spouse and son enjoyed building and racing a pinewood derby car at a Boy Scout event where they won second place. Another event organized by the regional Boy Scout group of the area, was a family evening and night Halloween outing that invited participants to explore a “spooky forest” after dark. The forest was a pine forest where scouts were dressed in ghoulish costumes and would attempt to frighten people who walked along a dark path through this wooded area. At the end of the pathway that circled back to the campground, a substantial hole was dug that some people fell into in this dark area. I was most disgusted with this hole and finale, as some people could have suffered a serious physical injury due to falling into such a large and unexpected hole. The family vacation for this year was our first extended excursion on a cruise ship. We vacationed for one week touring the Eastern Caribbean waters and visiting the islands of St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and a cruise line private island which we enjoyed. I thought this kind of vacation to be lavish, extreme in some cases, and well planned by cruise line employees. A full daily itinerary that was placed under the door of our cabin early each morning created a sense of hurriedness in me, prior to breakfast. The amount of food and quantity of meals served aboard this ship was gluttonous and many times wasteful as people would fill their plates with more than they could eat thus discarding the leftover food. I stated to spouse that two meals and a snack daily would have been more than enough to eat. A disco for young teens did not allow parental entry which perturbed me greatly. This policy was not stated or posted prior to the admittance of teens. Port holes that I discovered in an inside the ship’s lounge provided an underwater view of people bathing and swimming in the pool which provided me with an uncomfortable feeling and so after that discovery I avoided the activity of swimming in the ship’s pool. Later in 2001-2002, Spouse daughter, son and I were on a Christmas/New Years cruise where we attended a New Year’s Eve celebration on the ship. The celebration consisted of viewing the most mind boggling magic show that I have ever seen. At the end of this show and at midnight the ceiling of the auditorium opened to release thousands and thousands of balloon and “tons” of confetti resulting in the adults in the audience becoming knee deep in this celebratory material. I thought this entire evening to be bizarre. Also during this cruise, a woman with an infant of about ten months old was seated directly in front of me holding her baby whose head was at her shoulder level. We were seated close to a passage way to the outside ships’ deck. I was talking to the baby who faced me and who was lively and engaging. The mother, who I believe was from Spain, appeared not to speak English. Suddenly, a tall heavy set English speaking man wearing an oversized Disney World tee shirt and who was walking through the passage way grabbed the baby from the woman arms and tossed the baby in the air a few times catching him each time. A wave of anxiety overtook me as I observed this scene in disbelief. The woman and mother of the baby had a frozen smile on her face as she waited for this unknown “goon” to return her child to her. After giving the child back to the woman we both nodded our heads to the left and the right while engaging in eye contact as she quickly departed the area with the baby. 135 By early spring, I began to wonder if my twenty year high school reunion was in the planning process. As I learned from almost missing my ten year reunion, I knew it necessary to contact the appointed classmates to inquire of the reunion date, time, and location. In 1986, I was dismayed to realize that mother and father were not notified by mail or telephone call of my reunion as other classmates parents were. I could not understand this as my parents address had not changed since high school. About five hundred people or more, including some spouses, attended the ten year high school reunion in 1986. So for this year, I contacted a class officer and discovered the date, time, and location of the high school reunion. Airline transportation and then a car rental, brought spouse and I to this event in August. It was nice to see my former classmates and interesting to share news. I was disappointed however when only seventy nine classmates out of a graduating class of four hundred and ninety seven people attended the event. In 2006, mother and father were contacted this time regarding my class reunion, but I was homebound due to attacks by evil and too immersed in this project to attend my thirty year high school reunion. Later, and by 2011 I began to wonder how many former classmates were still living. As one can note, there was a huge difference in reunion attendance between ten years and twenty years. In an evil society, vital information is withheld from the population because people are attacked and sometimes murdered. Therefore it is suggested that high school graduating classes establish a network perhaps on the internet to communicate with all (based on permission granted by the classmate) fellow classmates. In December of this year, a teacher had suddenly departed the Catholic school of daughter and son’s attendance. I was asked if I would like to assume the abruptly departed teacher’s job. After substituting for two weeks in this upper elementary school classroom and contending with a significant number of incorrigible youths and also having no time to prepare for this class, I declined this offer. It was at this time that I became more aware of the extent of immorality in the schools including elementary schools where I was awakened to the fact that “having an abortion” was common enough even within this young age group. Beginning in 1996 to about 2002, there was a marked change in contemporary music. The music promoted to the youth through media at this time exuberated hypnotic orchestrated melodies perhaps to further aid in brainwashing and mind controlling the public and especially the youths to engage in immoralities. Retrospective: Evil exposes all people to immorality by not clearly labeling through signs for one example, decadent beaches. Some people attack or take advantage of people who are ill or under the influence of drugs. When one with knowledge remains silent about potentially dangerous situations other ignorant people are subjected to harm. Students are not receiving a good education regarding environmental issues. Some people try to annoy other people for apparently no rhyme or reason (mind control?). All people should be advised of a program’s content prior to agreeing to participate. It is very likely that many children have been injured or died partially due to the casual attitude of some wild life experts regarding the handling of wild animals. Some people inflict much psychological damage on others. A return to the following of The Ten Commandments, the avoidance of Capital Sins and Abominations enlists God’s support to protect one from these psychological attacks. The issuing of meal 136 tickets or a meal card for two meals and a snack daily for each person would likely reduce gluttony and food waste on cruise ships. Charging a price for each meal is another idea that would also likely help to eliminate the wanton discarding of food on cruise ships. Perhaps the posting of daily itineraries in various locations throughout the cruise ship, instead of submitting itineraries under each cabin door, would provide passengers with a more relaxed atmosphere. The schools alone cannot solve the problems of an immoral society. An effort by all major societal groups, individuals, and parents is necessary to remove evil from within the society. Historical Accounts 1996: 52 The first small and light weight cellular telephone is introduced into the market place on January 3 by Motorola. A ferry sinks in Tanzania on May 21 killing about one thousand people. The first mammal, a ewe named Dolly is cloned in Scotland on May 21. In the United States and on June 12 a panel of federal judges rejects a law against obscene material presented on the internet citing the right to free speech and expression. A cyclone in India kills approximately one thousand people on November 7. NASA examines a meteorite found in Antarctica and suggests that this rock contains evidence of life from the planet Mars. Remarks: Many people purchase mobile cellular telephones subjecting themselves to dangerous radiation. People become increasingly reliant on these telephones that cause sometimes accidents or fatal distractions. Some people continue to interfere in jurisdictions of God through the cloning of mammals further likely inciting His wrath against the people. 1997 In December of 1996, mother and father visited at our home in Florida for the Christmas holidays. Father was being treated by a physician for a long standing problem. I noticed that he developed a physical problem that was most assuredly not related to his long term illness. I inquired of mother and father if the physician attending to him on a regular basis had noticed this other ailment and the reply was no. With this information, I insisted that father see another physician. Upon arriving home in New York in January 1997, father visited with a few physician specialists when it was finally determined that father had a serious, life threatening problem that required timely surgery. I made arrangements to travel to New York for father’s surgery which was thank God, successful. Rehabilitation at a specialized hospital was necessary for his recovery. So after recovering somewhat from the surgery which was about within two months, father was scheduled for therapy. I, once again arranged to travel to New York to visit with him and mother during some of the time of his rehabilitative therapy. Joining him at a 137 few therapy sessions, I noted one aspect of the therapy for his condition, was to rest his weight on a large three to four foot soft ball and move around the therapy room while trying to maintain his balance. I thought this therapy to be absurd and preposterous as even I, in good physical condition could have easily fallen off of this ball and sustained an injury. In the spring of this year, a dreaded problem with tenants had occurred. The tenants who had rented father in laws house telephoned my mother upset due to the fact that a skunk had apparently inhabited the basement of the house. Mother telephoned me with this problem and seemed aggravated with this situation. Partially because of this problem with the skunk, the tenants decided to vacate the premises. The security payment provided by the tenants upon renting the property was returned in full as the premises were left in good order. After discussing the difficulties of managing a property from a long distance, reluctantly spouse and I decided to sell this property. The house was sold shortly thereafter. Beginning in the second half of the 1980’s, many towns and municipalities across the nation instituted laws and requirements regarding the recycling of materials initially to include only paper but in later years expanded these programs to include glass, plastic, and aluminum. I have for the most part been diligent in recycling these materials over the past twenty five years or so. During the late 1980’s and 1990’s, I became annoyed with restaurants that provided meals and left over meals in containers that were less biodegradable and not recyclable such as Styrofoam. In New York State, a deposit fee of 5 cents is added to each and every soda and beer bottle and can as a deposit and incentive for people to return these containers to the store of purchase. This procedure has created aggravation for many people who have very busy lives. Many people do not return these containers to the store but rather place these in recycling bins for weekly pick up hence losing their deposit money. In the State of Florida, a deposit is not charged on soda, beer, or any other recyclable containers. All recyclable materials are recycled by people in Florida that appears through my observations, to be at about the same rate of recycling participation as in New York. One day while housekeeping, I glanced out of a window in the front of our home and viewed a small bulldozer truck carrying plenty of yard waste including stumps of trees and large branches. I watched the person driving this truck dump the entire load of yard waste onto the front lawn of our property. I rubbed my eyes, was dumbfounded, and momentarily paralyzed as to what I just observed. After emptying this load, the truck turned around and proceeded back down the street. At that point I decided to pursue this slow moving vehicle on foot. The bulldozer turned down a street and into a neighborhood. I finally caught up with him at a home location where significant landscaping and tree cutting was being accomplished. Out of breath, I chastised the driver of this vehicle for his audacity in dumping this yard waste on our lawn. The driver told me that he was not responsible for this action and that I should speak to his “boss”. His superior apologized and told the driver of the truck to pick up the yard waste dumped onto our property. After removing this yard waste from our lawn, it appeared that this load was then dumped on someone else’s property further up the street. I noted the name of this business and decided to report them first to the police where I was told that this situation was not 138 within their jurisdiction and then I sought to report this business to the Better Business Bureau. It was at this time that I discovered that the city had no Better Business Bureau. Throughout the course of this year, I was increasingly reading in the newspaper about various newly approved English curriculums in the United States public and secular school system. One program read about, termed “Ebonics”, was approved for a large school district on the West Coast of the United States. I remarked to spouse that this language was a conglomeration of languages and slang that would likely render the students handicapped when the time came to seek a job to provide a living for these former students. I also was becoming confused and disoriented in communicating with some young people. Slang and the “bastardization” of the English language, made it extremely difficult to understand what was being spoken by some youths. One began to recognize that many people were purchasing “take out” meals perhaps due to a perceived lack of time to cook a meal at home. One stated to spouse that by the time a meal is ordered over the telephone combined with a waiting time issued for “pick up” by the food business together with driving time to retrieve the meal, a person could easily have prepared a warm meal at home saving money, time, and a degree of aggravation. One weekend day, I watched on television a potato peeling competition that I thought to be akin to corrupt. Participants in the contest were given a barrel of potatoes to peel and the first person to finish peeling this barrel of potatoes was the “winner.” Contestants used a paring knife instead of a vegetable peeler as a tool to accomplish this goal. I was disgusted to view the contestants removing most of the potato along with the skin for discard. I remarked to spouse that apparently product waste was not a consideration in the formulation of rules for this debased televised contest. During this year, I was disturbed to view in the area of our residence in South Florida a large shopping mall built in the middle of the 1980’s being demolished to erect another shopping mall. I thought this action to be insane and wasteful. I decided to purchase a curio cabinet to safely display family heirloom figurines and other porcelain and crystal items. Delivery men employed by the furniture store delivered this piece of furniture to our home and placed it in the desired location. They also set several glass shelves in place using shelf pegs. Pleased with this purchase, I placed the above items into the curio cabinet. A short time later, I heard a crash coming from the location of the new cabinet. Running to this area, I found to my devastation broken figurines and other cherished items. The delivery men neglected to put the total amount of pegs required under each glass shelf. Spouse and especially I were involved in son’s many sports activities. One activity was track where son competed with a team of students from the Catholic school of his attendance against other students from other Catholic schools. On occasion and after school, I provided transportation to son for track meets that were a considerable distance away from our area of residence. At one track meet, a fierce thunderstorm began just prior to the time of the event. Expecting the event to be cancelled, I was 139 disturbed when the group officials decided to proceed with this activity. Determining that the “lightening had passed”, the athletes ran in the pouring rain. Son was also involved for two years with a Khoury baseball league organized in the area. I volunteered to be score keeper which required my attendance at every game. At times this volunteer activity was annoying to me as I could not watch the game because I was too busy keeping an accurate count and score. In addition to weekend games played, much practice was required during the weekdays. The Khoury league home games and most practices were accomplished at a field bordering a major highway. The first time I viewed a baseball fouled off onto this major roadway, I became concerned and nervous for the drivers of vehicles on this highway (later I became use to this occurrence). Fortunately, no driver that I saw during this time was injured nor a vehicle damaged. I remarked to another parent attending the game that the location of this baseball field was dangerous for drivers on the highway and especially for those people driving a convertible, roofless automobile. I believe the reply was that this was true but there were no other fields in the area where the team could play. One day, after dropping son off at baseball practice, I had to retrieve our ill Golden Retriever dog from a veterinarian. After arriving at the office, the veterinarian informed me that it was likely that our dog suffered from a terminal illness. As this was not verified, I decided to bring our beloved pet home. Two men working at the veterinary office picked up our dog and proceeded to carry her to my car. Suddenly and robotically, they dropped the dog on the floor of the office lobby. Maintaining my composure and politeness, I reaffirmed to them that I was taking the dog home and to please carry the dog carefully to my car. Upset with this experience and with the dog in the back seat of the car, I hurried to retrieve son from baseball practice. As I reached the main road, I realized that due to a power outage that every traffic light was not functioning on a major United States Florida highway causing a traffic nightmare. Worried about son, I was relieved and grateful that a baseball coach stayed with him until I arrived at the baseball field about one hour after the designated practice time ended. The team to which son belonged achieved second place in the area in 1996 and first place in the area in 1997, where they were involved in playoffs with other teams in the city. In the autumn, son joined a basketball team that occupied his free time during this season. It is appropriate to mention here some dangerous actions regarding the collection of money for children’s sports related activities. On a busy, multilane highway, I repeatedly observed children running onto this roadway during apparent traffic stops (turning lane arrows not included) to collect donations from drivers for sports uniforms and other sports related activities. Also, infringements and invasions of personal privacy were noted at some sports stadiums where officials demanded to search individual’s pocketbooks and bags. As a subscriber to the city’s newspaper, I began to read an increasing number of disturbing and deranged stories. At some point, I ceased to read this paper in its entirety and selected only those stories that were less bizarre. There were many stories in the newspaper that reported on children killing and murdering themselves and each other with guns. Some stories stated that parents had insisted that the guns were well hidden and that they could not understand how the youngsters found these dangerous weapons. Also, there was a placement that was shown in the newspaper on a regular basis that I thought to be odd. These were lists, contained in several pages of newspaper that showed 140 the names of many, many people that could not be located by banks who were seeking them out for inactive bank account activity. Through television and in the newspaper I became increasingly aware of the growing tragedies of missing persons. Relatives and friends reported that adults and children left their homes never to return. If a missing person states to another where he or she is going prior to departing an area and then not returning, suspicion should be cast on the intended destination of the victim. Authorities should pursue with vigor the contact person last intended to be seen by the missing person. Be advised that evil doers in positions of authority to include perhaps a doctor, lawyer, or “Indian Chief” may have killed the missing person but deny ever having contact with the person. One day while driving through a town in South Florida, spouse, daughter, son, and I became stalled in traffic in front of a large convention center. The convention center was hosting an exhibit of guns for purchase. As “presentation is half the battle” one observed some of the most unscrupulous appearing individuals and groups that I had ever seen to this year, departing that convention hall. During the dry season beginning from December to May in South Florida, many wild fires are a concern to many people living in this area. In the rainy season beginning from June to November however, the area experiences an abundant amount of rainfall. Thinking about the drought situation in this area of South Florida after returning to New York that was also experiencing an unusual drought, one realized that to my knowledge, manmade reservoirs to contain water from the rainy season do not exist in the area of South Florida. Reservoirs would likely be of great benefit to the people residing in this area of Florida during the dry season. A priority of mine after arriving in South Florida was to register to vote. One day while casting my votes through a ballot system, one realized that the wording of various referendums were very confusing. For example, there was an environmental issue concerning pollution being emitted into the Everglades by a corporation in the area. Environmentalists desired to issue sanctions against this company to end the pollution and voter support was required for the above measure through voting for the corporation being permitted to continue to pollute the Everglades or against the corporation therefore requiring sanctions to be implemented to end the pollution. In reading this referendum one recognized that if one thought that one was voting against the corporation, one was actually voting for the corporation because of the wording regarding this issue. On returning home from this “voting” experience I stated to spouse that a person requires to be highly intelligent to decipher the “double speak” when voting on some issues. At the end of October, I applied for and was hired as a reservationist in the travel industry. Prior to beginning employment, a urine test was required which necessitated my attendance at facility designated by the corporation to administer this test to determine narcotic use. I was asked to provide a sample of urine and shown the lavatory. The laboratory attendant requested that my purse remain outside of the lavatory during the procuring of this sample which caused me angst as I thought that perhaps I would be robbed. A two month training period required intensive instruction on the 141 corporation’s computerized reservation system. After completing this extensive program, I was informed that I was required to change my name. I was furious that this requirement was not told to me prior to learning and studying the company’s products and procedures as I would not have accepted this job, had I known about this requirement prior to beginning employment. I asked why this name change was necessary and was told that there is another “Barbara” working for the corporation. I stated that one of the reasons for a last name is to solve the problem of confusion due to a duplication of a first name. The retort was that it is not “safe” to use one’s last name when in contact with the public. At that point I reluctantly assumed my Confirmation name for this job. At the end of the training program, it was required that the class view the products of the corporation exhibited at another location. I was one of several employees designated as a group driver. This required using my own vehicle when corporate vans were plainly visible and available for use in the corporate parking lot. I was annoyed that I was required to take the roadside risk with employee passengers in my vehicle for corporate business. I was also not reimbursed for mileage on this visit. In addition, one was dismayed to realize that Christmas Eve was a full working day with some shifts ending at 11:00 pm. Most all management did not work on Christmas Eve night. Other “lower level” employees working that night were required to prepare materials for promotional mailings to members of a travel club because there were very few reservations made and inquiries from the public that evening. As far as I was concerned this corporate policy was worse than a “Scrooge” situation where even “Bob Cratchit” was dismissed from his job earlier on Christmas Eve. Retrospective: I believe that one aspect of father’s post surgery therapy where he was required to balance himself while resting his weight and moving around on a large ball to be insane. Government should rely on a publically educated and an environmentally concerned population of people to recycle materials without charging deposit fees on some kinds of containers. To provide additional incentive for some people, a widely publicized bulk price could be set for recycling paper, glass, aluminum, and plastic. It appears as though some people purposely try to aggravate others for no apparent reason. Reporting these people and businesses through various avenues on the internet may assist in solving this problem. It is recommended that shelf pegs be glued into a curio cabinet for one example prior to installing a shelf. Some aspects of an immoral society require people to be overly cautious through various legislations of law that serve to annoy many people. Other aspects of an immoral society permit crazy, insane, and dangerous situations, procedures, and activities. There are still a significant number of religious and moral people in today’s society which provides one with hope and faith in humanity. Apparently the virtue of not being wasteful and the words of wisdom that state “waste not, want not” ceases to be of moral relevance in today’s society as shown in the examples of the potato peeling contest and the demolition of the large shopping mall. There are less dangerous ways to collect donations or earn money for children’s sports. Laboratories designated to conduct tests on individuals for outside groups, should provide lockers where clients can safely deposit valuables if necessary. Once again, all people should be advised of a program, procedures, or requirements prior to agreeing to a situation. A solution to this huge problem may be obtainable through the reporting on various avenues of the internet immoralities inflicted by some people and businesses on other people. It is also 142 important to note that people who do not divulge the full content of a known situation are probably guilty of “bearing false witness against neighbors” which is in violation of a Commandment of God. Historical Accounts 1997: 53 An earthquake in Iran kills approximately two thousand people on May 10. A DNA analysis completed on July 10 of a skeleton identifies the fact that many people are related to a one hundred to two hundred thousand year old woman whose remains were identified by scientists as “Eve”. The Dow Jones Industrial Average doubles in just thirty months to close for the first time above 8000 on July 16. NASA launches a space probe to Saturn. Remarks: DNA dating to about one hundred and fifty thousand years ago is identified as being contained in people living today. Read about the potential dangers of this technology in the Commentary on Genetic Identification contained in this book. 1998 In June of 1997, shortly before daughter had completed the Catholic grammar school, I investigated perhaps enrolling her in a Catholic high school. This high school was a considerable distance from our home and was a girl’s only Catholic school. While touring the school, I noticed some wise and arrogant attitudes of a considerable number of students. The school was also overcrowded where daughter would have been placed on a waiting list. The tuition was also significantly higher in cost than the Catholic grammar school. Next, I explored a public magnet high school where students focused their studies on a specific curriculum or industry of potential employment. Daughter and I visited reportedly one of the best magnet schools in the city that was far from our home requiring personal transportation, but focused on daughter’s current contemplated future career interest. Daughter was not enthusiastic about attending this high school as she was not positive about definitely and seriously pursuing this future career goal. So, I enrolled her in what was reported to be a good general curriculum high school in close proximity to our home. At about the same time, I noticed and was informed of some additional problems that were occurring in the Catholic grammar school of daughter and son’s attendance. Some students were “out of control” and appeared to be corrupting other students. For examples, dress codes were constantly being violated and circumvented. Girls were required to wear skirts to a length of just above the knee. Some girls were wearing mini-skirts to school causing classroom disruptions. Boys and girls were required to wear a collared knit shirt tucked into their trousers or skirts. Some students initially were not tucking in their shirts and then eventually most all students were not tucking in their shirts. Vandalism of hallways and restrooms was becoming more frequent. Some students refused to participate in curriculum and were apparently not motivated by the possibility of failure. When son failed to turn in a tuition payment that remained in his knapsack about a month after its due date, I was 143 thinking that perhaps he too was losing his focus. By the time daughter and son departed the Catholic school most students were no longer using knapsacks to carry books but wheeled their books in luggage. People in the area of our neighborhood advised me to enroll son in the gifted program at the middle school, as most children in the neighborhood apparently were enrolled in this program. I believed son to be a bright boy but not exceptionally “gifted” so he was enrolled in the school’s regular curriculum classes. I was disturbed to learn at this time that public middle and high schools nationwide hired security to patrol the schools. When I attended these schools in the 1970’s, no security was necessary as outlandish problems with students were few. I also noticed that not many parents were involved with their children’s school as the parental attendance at parent’s night yielded minimal participation for students enrolled in the regular school curriculum. Perhaps parental participation was greater for those students enrolled in the gifted program. In the spring, daughter had completed the requirements to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. I was pleased that the students were provided with The New Testament of a student Bible for religious study. This was the first year a Bible was used for religious study. In prior years, religious workbooks were distributed to students to provide for curriculum and study. Daughter chose a Confirmation name of her choice as she could not be influenced to choose my name. She was confirmed on a day in May at the local parish church. It is probably appropriate to mention here a huge change in people’s behavior regarding Communion. At an Easter mass, I viewed most people chewing on the Communion Host after receiving this Host from the priest. When first seeing this at mass I was flabbergasted as I was strictly taught by the nuns of my religious education that one never chews on a Communion Host. It was stated at the time of my instruction that the Host dissolves in one’s mouth as one is engaged in prayer. After a long day, usually I would watch television for about an hour or so prior to falling asleep. I did not for the most part watch regular television but instead viewed shows on the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) of this city because I believed these shows to be more educational and less “crazy and insane” than the shows presented through other networks. One day while viewing an initially pleasant PBS show on Chinese culture that depicted old traditional Chinese values and various customs, I was horrified, sickened, and shocked to view at the end of the show the murder of a beautiful baby girl. Apparently, the parents were in violation of China’s one child policy. The chubby infant was born lively and alert and then she was quickly stabbed in the back of the neck by the attending physician. Later in 2002, and with internet access I discovered that the same hideous and horrific situations of infant murder were occurring right here in the United States. At about this time, I also viewed on television the many repetitions of an advertisement that I thought to be insane, incredulous, and grossly immoral. A renowned statesman/politician was shown on television discussing his penis erectile dysfunction problem. I was hoping that daughter and son would not see this advertisement that promoted a dangerous drug to apparently solve this highly personal and embarrassing problem. At that point, I became furious with the government and wondered what kind of “One nation under God” government was leading this country. 144 Beginning in 1997, spouse was increasingly complaining about problems with his job concerning and including corporate politics and personality clashes between workers among other more serious problems. One of many stories was a ridiculous one regarding the arguing and fighting over pens that were ordered and purchased for customers. Some employees wanted to keep one pen for their own use. Others insisted the pens were gifts for customers only. Several memorandums were exchanged until this crazy situation was finally resolved. After moving to Florida, spouse was repeatedly threatened with job dismissal not due to his lack of sales procured but rather due to other problems, including some of the problems mentioned above. During this turmoil, I was relieved that we made the decision to maintain our residence in New York. Finally, after hearing enough insanity concerning this job, I took personal action and spouse was dismissed from his job in February. I increasingly began to note, especially concerning adults as they are expected to know what is proper, poor etiquette and manners. For examples when a guest is invited to one’s home and provides a cake to the hostess, it is improper for the hostess to deliver the cake to guests for serving in the container the cake was placed in at the time of purchase. It is also poor etiquette not to bring a small gift for the host and/or hostess who are sponsoring a gathering. In addition, chewing food and speaking at the same time can not only can lead to choking on food but is also unmannerly. It is considered to be uncivilized behavior to make noise with one’s mouth when chewing food. Food should be chewed quietly and swallowed with the mouth closed. It is also audacious to request of an acquaintance to borrow another person’s automobile. It is plain to understand the reasons, as the risk factors connected with driving a person’s car who is not a family member can cause significant angst and expense (if in an accident) to the owner of the vehicle. In August, an opportunity presented itself to visit the ancient Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza in Mexico. While at this site of antiquity, a tour was embarked on where various ruins were identified, described, and interpreted by the tour guide. The Mayan culture was also discussed where I learned that many of the Mayan people were born with a “butterfly” birthmark shown at the base of their spine. My interest was piqued at this revelation because a few family members were also born with a “butterfly” birthmark, also known as the Mongolian birthmark, on the base of their spine. Years earlier, mother confirmed to me that this “butterfly” birthmark originated from her German side of the family. In researching history, areas of Germany were infiltrated and under the authority of the Huns, who apparently based on this birthmark, were related to the Mayan Indians of Mexico. This circumstance further proves that many people throughout the world are genetically related. In some ways it was a relief for me to be working full time as domestic responsibilities were becoming increasingly overbearing and aggravating. To relieve stress and increase my energy level and stamina and endurance, I began bicycling two times a day, once in the morning prior to work and once in the evening after work accomplishing a total of twenty miles each day. As time progressed at my job, I realized that this environment at monetarily paid employment was also crazy and aggravating. A considerable number of employees appeared not to know how to dress professionally for the job. I followed the required dress code and always wore a skirt suit or pantsuit with appropriate hosiery and 145 dress shoes to work. Some others would wear sweatpants, sweatshirts, no hosiery, sheer clothing allowing others to view underwear and believe it or not, no underwear that showed nudity, low cut shirts were worn exhibiting the partial breasts of women, and extraordinary tight pants with sometimes high heeled shoes were worn by men. These people were in violation of the corporate dress code and were constantly reminded by management of this fact. I stated to a manager that people in constant violation of the dress code should be either dismissed from their job or should be required to wear a uniform. At about this time, I applied for and was appointed as employee advocate. As many employees had complaints, I decided to gather their suggestions on ways to improve sales, compensation, and working conditions. I asked each employee in my group to personally provide a suggestion or suggestions regarding the above matters. Good suggestions were returned to me but management appeared not really to be interested in these ideas. I noticed that a considerable number of people working for this organization could not write comprehensively, creating problems when examining the history of reservations for one example. The corporation soon after began summoning some employees to attend English classes which were conducted on a regular basis during working hours. The call center contained open cubicles that required an individual to maintain full focus and concentration on the task at hand. I noticed that for some people this was difficult or became difficult over time due to the high level of noise in the area. Perhaps smaller groups contained in sound proof rooms would have eliminated some of this noise. Another practice at this corporation was to post every individual’s name and their weekly sales on an erasable board that faced each sales group. Some people seemed to be adversely affected by this practice where they believed themselves to be incompetent based on a perceived poor weekly sales performance (which could drastically change on a weekly basis) as compared to others. Some employees contributed to this feeling of inadequacy by the lower sales achievers, by teasing those with low weekly sales. Good employees seemed to quit the job likely due at least in part, to this system. In addition, some people working at the corporation acted as if they owned the office supplies, promotional materials, and other materials necessary for all to accomplish one’s job. Any request for these items, many times resulted in a nasty attitude by the designated disburser of these items. In the reservation call center hundreds of people answered inquiries from the public and secured reservations for the corporation. For most, this required sitting in a chair for seven hours daily (one half hour for lunch was granted as well as two fifteen minute recesses). Many of the chairs provided for workers were old and did not provide good back support that could lead for some, to health problems. At other jobs worked at, my complaint was the same. Leaning back on a chair, could result in toppling over. Much fighting ensued between employees to procure one of a few new or restored chairs which were intermittently made available. Towards the end of my employment with this corporation, I recognized the solution to this problem as well as the solution to the constant “fight” for office supplies. Employees may want to consider investing some personal money to purchase their own chair and office supplies thus alleviating and/or eliminating the constant “battles” to obtain these job necessities. After approximately eight months viewing a computer monitor at work and on a full time basis, I began to experience vision problems. I complained to spouse and family that my former good vision of 20/20 was damaged very quickly working behind this monitor. Others too were seen at the end of the work day departing their computer based jobs, with severely bloodshot eyes. I also began to 146 suspect that substantial increases in young women acquiring breast cancer could be due, at least in part, to radiation exposure that is emitted within close proximity to the human body via the computer screen. As part of an employee compensation package, all individuals working for the corporation were provided with an annual vacation at the small cost of taxes and other low fees. The requirement for all workers regardless of job position was to be employed for ten months with the organization, before receiving this benefit. As time progressed, I realized that the rules for all people concerning the time constraints of this benefit were not the rules for some people as some people in certain positions, were allowed to take a vacation prior to the ten month waiting period. Occasionally flowers would be delivered to people at work for various occasions such as a birthday. It was at this time that I noticed that many of the flowers appeared unnatural. Inquiring as to the name of some of these flowers, I was told of a name of familiarity but then it was stated that the flowers were dyed sometimes in iridescent colors. I thought this practice to be absurd, crazy, and evil. At about this time I also discovered that engaged couples were arranging for financial prenuptial agreements. I believed that this practice doomed a committed relationship from the inception. At the end of one working day while exiting the office, I could not help but notice a piece of machinery left on the top of the stairwell that was leaking a strong odor of gasoline in this area. I asked a couple of employees for assistance in this matter as I feared that a fire could erupt in this building but they declined to help. Lugging this machine down to the lobby, I asked another employee for advice on where to safely store this gasoline leaking piece of equipment. This employee recommended that it be placed in an exceedingly hot furnace/generator room located across the road from the office building. This insane recommendation was immediately rejected. Shortly thereafter, I found a janitorial closet contained in the parking garage where I safely stored this machine. On another day, I was asked to attend a travel expo in another state. The expo was located inside a well known large hotel where room was available to make a reservation. An employee advised me not to stay at this hotel where the expo was located but to stay at another hotel, located miles away from the travel expo. The employee’s reasoning for this advice was that the recommended hotel offered by this employee had more luxurious accommodations. I failed to understand this logic as a close proximity to the job at hand would likely be for most thinking people, to be of a higher priority. Another concern of mine at this job was a dangerous crumbling parking garage where many small and large chunks of concrete were falling from the ceilings of this multilevel garage presenting a physical danger to people and damages to vehicles. I stated to management that the garage should be closed until repairs were made. A large empty field was located nearby that could have provided temporary employee parking. This advice was completely ignored. Shortly thereafter a few employees were increasingly talking about the same conversations with me at work that spouse, daughter, son, and I had just discussed the evening prior at home during dinner time. At first I thought this to be coincidental. Later, and after thinking carefully and noting the spy retail stores in the area, I began to think that perhaps eavesdropping by outside others was occurring inside of our residence. But on the other hand I thought this to be ridiculous as our family were average law abiding citizens. A short time after being suspicious of this severe invasion of privacy, two employees of the corporation were making odd faces at me when encountering them in the corporate parking garage. When I inquired about why they were making these strange faces, they denied that they were making faces. At that point I believed that our 147 family was being attacked by satanic evil forces within the society and so I quit this job almost immediately after this incident. After departing this job in September, I became increasingly concerned for daughter and son’s safety as it was beginning to become apparent to me that other people seemed to be under similar attacks by evil forces. I insisted on driving son to school when earlier he rode his bicycle to the school with other boys from the neighborhood. Daughter was also driven to high school by me and another family in a car pool arrangement. At this time, I noticed that an important stop sign was removed from a dangerous intersection near the middle school. After witnessing several near misses regarding collisions of vehicles, I telephoned the county and inquired as to the reason of why this stop sign was removed and strongly recommended to the official that it be restored. The county official stated that the stop sign was moved further down the street where large homes were in the process of being constructed and that the county regulations state that only a certain number of stop signs were allowed on this kind of neighborhood roadway. I reiterated to them, to no avail, that the law in this case was absurd and that the stop sign at this location was necessary and should be replaced. Within a short time after this telephone call, I witnessed the aftermath of a horrific accident when driving towards home from the middle school. One early weekend morning while spouse was bicycling in the neighborhood he saw a baby of about two years old wandering on the roadway in bedclothes. Spouse stopped his bicycle to ask the child his name and inquire where he lived. The baby could not speak and so spouse thought to bring him home to our house where the police would be notified. Shortly thereafter, another bicyclist stopped his bike and spoke with spouse about this potentially dangerous circumstance of the child. Soon afterwards however, a panicked father emerged from a home a short distance away calling the baby’s name and so the child was found. Also at about this time, a substantial increase in the number of stray dogs was noted. Many people seemed to be oddly and wantonly releasing their dogs this year to run freely throughout the neighborhood which was a dangerous situation for the animals because the neighborhood abutted a very busy roadway. Some of these dogs also had nasty dispositions proven with one dog biting me on the leg while I was bicycling. In October of this year, son had appeared pale for a few weeks and not generally appearing well. I decided that he should visit a physician for a physical examination. I telephoned the medical office that we had visited in the past and was provided an appointment for son with a physician that we were acquainted with from a prior visit. When the physician entered the examining room with a young child carrying an inflatable beach ball, I realized that this person was not the physician we were familiar with during a past visit. I asked the physician his name and he stated the name of the physician that I was familiar with at a previous visit. I asked him that if you are this physician, then who was the other physician? He stated that he did not know who the other physician was even after I provided him with the other physician’s physical description. Deciding to put this confusion aside, the young child was identified as his daughter who he was minding for the day. As son was being examined, the young, approximately two year old child was resting her weight on this inflatable ball and was moving around 148 the examination room that was reminiscent of father’s therapy the year prior. I was afraid that she would fall backwards and injure herself on the tile floor of the examination room. The father and physician of the toddler seemed unconcerned with my fear concerning his daughter. At the same time, I was worried about son’s health. Through an examination and a test, it was determined that son was fine. Retrospective: Many youths are no longer abiding by adult authority. To prevent frequent disruptive and belligerent protests by a girl or girls, parochial schools should require girls to wear uniform skirts below the knees to prevent mediocre, time wasting disruptive disputes with teachers who sometimes use rulers to ascertain appropriate skirt distances from the knee and others in authority at the parochial school (in other words if a girl’s knees can be seen then she is in violation of the dress code and should be sent home to change her clothes to be in compliance with the dress code or for repeated infractions, be dismissed from the school). Including shares of stock for all employees in a company where one works as part of the annual compensation package would likely improve employee diligence and work efforts within the firm. Some people seek clandestine ways to protect their families from evil when the society becomes increasingly immoral. In an evil society, many people become unconcerned with their own safety and the safety of others. In an evil society, the destruction and/or murder (or killing) of other people grants those in positions of authority more power, wealth, and control over the population resulting in tyranny. A return to the following of The Ten Commandments, avoidance of Capital Sins and Abominations and the removal of evildoers in authority positions which can be accomplished for one example through a verifiable voting system (read the Commentary on the Electoral System), is necessary to return the society to good. Prenuptial agreements are likely appropriate today based on the presumption that “marriages” have become like a business arrangements and some participants may be mind controlled. Read the Commentary on Tyranny for further information. If a child has a tendency to wander, a lock should be installed on the child’s bedroom door. Son appeared ill to me just following a required by the school district immunization for hepatitis B which is a required series of three immunizations administered over a three year period. Due to this apparent reaction to the vaccine, I refused to have him immunized for the other two other vaccines in the series. I sensed that son and I were being attacked by evil during that appointment with the physician. Historical Accounts 1998: 54 More than five thousand people are killed in an earthquake in Afghanistan on February 4. The largest suspension bridge in the world is completed on April 5 in Japan. More than five thousand people are killed in a second earthquake for this year in Afghanistan on May 30. A tsunami in Papua New Guinea kills about one thousand five hundred people on July 17. A war begins on August 2 in The Congo resulting in the murders of about four million people by 2003. 149 A flood in China on August 7 kills approximately four thousand people.

Engineering feats continue to astound many. Four million people die needlessly during a change of government due to the fact that election systems have been proven to be corrupt. The chipping of human beings for identification, location, and other purposes begins. Read the Commentary on Environmentalism shown at the end of this book to understand the potential dangers of this procedure and technology. 1999 By the end of 1998, spouse had obtained another job that was not within his industry of experience. This job required relocation to New York which suited our needs but the work hours were long, about sixteen hours a day including the commute to a nearby city. Spouse worked at this job for several months before procuring another job within his industry of experience. In November, I interviewed and was hired for a job in the travel industry working on a part time basis for five and one half hours daily. The day I began paid employment, I was required to fill out necessary forms. The manager of the department of my assignment excused me upon arriving at work in the morning, to the office lobby to complete paperwork. The human resource employee gave me at least a six inch stack of forms that needed to be completed. By afternoon, the manager of my assignment came to seek me out where she found me still completing paperwork. It was noted by both of us that the amount of forms required for completion for a job had substantially increased over the years. On arriving home, I discussed this phenomenon with spouse. We agreed that the amount of forms and paperwork to be completed throughout all aspects of business, medicine, law, and government for examples had reached the point of harassment. In addition many required forms to be read contained “double speak” and other incomprehensible language. The working atmosphere of this job was considerably quieter than the previous job in Florida. In early December of 1998, daughter and son were enrolled in school at two former schools of my teen and pre teen attendance. This transition was not as difficult as the Florida transition as daughter and son were familiar with many of the students in this area of our residence prior to moving to Florida. Spouse, daughter, son, and I temporarily moved into mother and father’s home until the house in Florida was sold in April. At the end of March, knowing the sale of our home in Florida was probably secured through a contract, the tenants renting our New York home were given two months notice to vacate the premises. By the end of May, arrangements were made to move the 150 contents of our home in Florida to New York. Having just about a week between the vacating of the tenants and the moving in of our household furnishings and belongings from Florida, we felt it necessary to hire an interior painter where under less hurried circumstances we would have painted the interior of the house ourselves. Also hired was a restorer of wood floors. This man was asked to sand the existing wood floors and apply a semi-gloss varnish surface coating (there was a flat varnish on the floor prior to the restoration), so that I would not be burdened with the constant waxing of these wood floors. The day prior to the scheduled moving in of our furnishings and other household belongings, I realized that the man restoring our household wood floors had applied a flat finish varnish on the wood floors. At that point, there was no time to redo the floors with a semi-gloss varnish. The tenants left the house in May with some issues of repairs that required immediate attention. Most likely, some of the security money should have been withheld as there were some damages inflicted to the premises that were not due to normal use of the residence. I however was in no mood to potentially argue my case for withholding the security due to attacks by evil against my family and me, so we returned the full security to the tenants. By the end of summer, spouse and I had fixed other issues of repairs in the house and on the premises. By the spring of 2000, a new roof was needed on the house. After obtaining three prices from different roofing contractors, we selected the lowest price from all bids submitted that were equal regarding the services of the contractor. At this time, I realized how extreme in cost bids for a job could be. In the 1960’s and into the 1970’s, most contractors charged about the same price for a particular job. By the 1990’s and the early years of this century, the prices charged for a job could vary by more than several thousand dollars. Due to this circumstance, I began to recognize a strange “dual” economy in the United States. I also became in a crazy way grateful to the workmen who charged the lower price even though based on the salaries of spouse and I, the prices charged were what I considered to be fair with some workers but still expensive with others workers chosen (as we chose the lowest price). Also, one noted that in some areas of the trades there were few to only one business to choose from regarding certain contractual work. For one example, one desired to activate an old well on the property to supply water to the outside gardens of our home. One business in the entire county specialized in this trade who when asked for an estimate for this job, provided me with an extraordinarily high price to reactivate the well, resulting in the postponement of this idea. Returning to discuss the installation of the new roof on our house, I was pleased with the contractor’s workmanship but I was aggravated when he placed a sign advertising his business on our property without asking spouse or I for permission to do this. After returning home from work, I saw that the roofing contractor had placed his business advertising sign in a newly seeded flower bed. I removed the sign and placed it on the ground. The following day after arriving home from work, I saw that this sign was attached to a telephone pole located on the property of our home. Using a ladder, I removed this sign as well. Later, in the early years of 2000, I purchased a tool shed from a home improvement store to be delivered and placed on our driveway next to the house. After arriving home from work, I was flabbergasted and greatly perturbed to see the shed installed facing the neighbor’s side of the property instead of facing forward towards the street. I politely telephoned the home improvement store to reschedule a day for the tool shed to be positioned correctly. One day while I was working, they returned and positioned the shed correctly, but left about a one foot access between the shed and a fenced backyard access gate. 151 In the spring of this year, one was invited to attend a conference and seminar concerning the joining of a firm to sell financial investments to others. The financial company was owned by a major world corporation. A film was viewed and lectures were presented to convince the attendees to join the company. A repeated statement in the lectures and in the film was that financial investments offered by this corporation were “not a pyramid scheme”. The frequent number of times this phrase was repeated made one suspicious that perhaps this was a pyramid scheme and the corporation was attempting to brainwash the participants through the continuous repetition of the above phrase. Through careful scrutiny, one recognized and concluded that these financial investments were pyramid schemes where the majority of people lose their money invested while those involved with the firm from the early stages, gain the money lost by the majority. Of course most can recognize this system as a clever way to steal, and is in violation of a Commandment. This year, I noticed that most all of the school busses in the community had changed the former clear glass windows of a few years earlier and replaced them with very dark, almost black tinted glass. Since the weather in this area is not particularly sunny, such as in South Florida, I contemplated the possible reasons for this likely expensive change to the windows of the school busses. Throughout the former years and in the 1980’s and early 1990’s, I noticed at times children fighting on school busses as I was driving my car around town. I recall complaining to spouse about this bad behavior of some of the youths and remarked that it is difficult to operate the school bus vehicle under these circumstances. Years ago when I attended public school, students’ who caused altercations on school busses were banned from riding the bus. I then thought that perhaps the clear windows on the busses were changed to a very dark glass to prevent others in the community from viewing what was transpiring inside the school busses. During this year, one noticed an extraordinary amount of litter and other garbage strewn along roadways in the area of our residence. I wondered aloud to spouse why suddenly there appeared to be so many slobs in our community. Shortly thereafter, one read about volunteer litter removal crews being established to clean up and dispose of this unsightly and incredible over abundance of garbage strewn. Coinciding with and possibly because of this uncommon amount of garbage scattered along roadways, the area became inundated with very large and aggressive black crows. I observed one of these birds knock over a bird bath in our backyard. However, once the litter problem was resolved by the volunteers, the crows left the area. In the autumn while grocery shopping one day, I viewed a long line of people that stretched horizontally from one end of the large supermarket to the other. Curious about the reasons for this line and expecting that food sampling was in progress I was aghast to observe an individual on line being immunized with a syringe, for as it became known to me was an immunization against the influenza virus. I believed this practice to be unsanitary, unpalatable, and completely inappropriate based on the food environment of this business establishment. It also occurred to me that perhaps in the future, people would be standing in line inside this supermarket for a euthanasia shot. 152 One evening while viewing television with a “family cable” subscription, I viewed for a few minutes a most disturbing, pathetic, and a tremendously psychologically damaging show. The host of the show refereed a “race” between two naked women with blackened circles applied to nipples and front genitalia running with quarter coins placed in between the cracks of their derrieres to a finish line. Throughout this year and the beginning years of the twenty first century one read many disturbing stories of youths in the local news who were frequently killed and seriously injured in car accidents and through drug overdoses and suicide pacts. For example, one story described a group of teenagers in a neighboring county who jumped off of a high waterfall resulting in their deaths. Other frequent suicides involved individuals jumping off of a nearby bridge or stepping onto the railroad tracks in front of oncoming freight trains. The railroad’s reaction to these disturbing tragedies was to install louder, blaring horns on the trains and the thruway’s response to people jumping off of the bridge was to install suicide call boxes close to the roadway on the bridge. Also, news reporters who interviewed some people who knew the victims would bizarrely state that the deceased youths were behavior problems and trouble makers in addition to other derogatory remarks, concerning the sad and early demise of these children. Acquaintances offered me some advice regarding the ever increasing immorality within this society. One acquaintance suggested that I ingest drugs which instilled in me a quiet outrage as I rarely ingested as much as an aspirin throughout my lifetime. It was also remarked that “Jesus provides” which I did not understand at that time. Later I interpreted this message to “hey Zeus provides” when I recognized how people gain wealth and power over others through the promotion of evil in the society (read the Commentaries shown at the end of this book). Another acquaintance suggested that “I move closer to God”. This advice I found to be most helpful as I began to diligently read The Bible. Another acquaintance informed me of the terminal illness of a family member. I was sorry to hear about this illness and expressed and extended my sympathy to this person and the person’s family. The acquaintance then informed me that funeral arrangements had already been made for this ill family member. I thought this to be bizarre as the family member was living. After resettling into our home in New York and by the early autumn, son, thirteen years of age began to receive disturbing solicitation in the mail. This solicitation invited him to join the NRA (National Rifle Association) which I was staunchly against as I despise the aftermath of what firearms have inflicted on many people in this country. Several pieces of solicitation mail from the NRA were received over a two month period. Finally exasperated and aggravated with this solicitation of a minor to join a gun club, I telephoned the organization to express my disgust with these harassing materials sent to son and also stated that I believed that this solicitation to be illegal as son was considerably underage for gun ownership. The group member spoken with over the telephone apologized and removed son from their mailing list. Throughout this year, I began to experience an unusual fatigue and exhaustion. Deciding to seek remedial assistance, a physician prescribed various blood tests. All of the tests conducted on my blood 153 were returned normal except for a thyroid test. I was told by the physician that to remedy this thyroid problem, a daily pill would be necessary to ingest for the rest of my life and blood tests would be required every three months. I rejected this remedy as I despise pill taking. About this time, other family members related by blood or marriage and acquaintances were also diagnosed with thyroid problems. I thought this to be odd and wondered about the reasons for the apparent increases in problems with the thyroid gland. Later and by 2010, it appeared through extensive internet research, that environmental factors including the adding of fluoride to the water system was adversely affecting the thyroid health of many people, including young people. During our three year stay in Florida, the New York area of our residence experienced an unprecedented drought situation. Upon arriving home, I viewed an almost dry reservoir and dead animals and trees scattered throughout the area. Son, a fisherman was lifting fish with his hands out of muck and small pools of water from a greatly shrunken tributary leading to the reservoir. The county of our residence enacted several water emergency measures to curtail water usage. One measure forbade the watering of vegetation growing outside. To enforce this temporary decree, helicopters patrolled the neighborhoods at night with flood lights causing loud and anxiety producing night time noise and disruptions to probably many people. Later however and by September, a hurricane struck the area and released about nine inches of much needed water onto the ground. But due to the severe dryness of the land, floods caused extensive damages throughout the community. Shortly after the hurricane, the county returned to the severe situation of drought. I decided to attend a meeting in town regarding this water emergency where alternate water supplies were being discussed among other matters. At this meeting, a chart was presented by the water company that was the most incomprehensible chart that I have ever viewed. Very expensive solutions were presented to solve the county’s inadequate water supply such as installing a pipeline from upstate New York to our area. Some officials at the meeting blamed an increase in population in the county for the drought rather than the unusual extended dry weather pattern. Exasperated with what I perceived as nonsense, I suggested that brackish water be removed, desalinated, and purified from a nearby river that contains along its banks some industrialization. At this meeting, some people were inquiring about federal funds that were made available to the community following the hurricane. It appeared to me that some people were trying to fix long standing drainage problems on their property at taxpayer expense. I also noticed that some people were coddling to town officials for this money. For example, I viewed a woman at this meeting wearing a mini skirt and go-go boots inquiring as to when someone from the town would come to her home to re-survey her property for apparently a previously existing drainage problem. Upon arriving home after our three year hiatus in South Florida, I became increasingly aware of what seemed to be an inordinate amount of noise in our neighborhood. I asked spouse if this was just my perception or did he too sense the same quantity and variety of noise as I. He agreed that the area of our residence had become extremely noisy. Shortly after moving back into our home, jack hammering on the road near to our home was occurring. Traffic had substantially increased on the road in front of our house. Vehicle horn blowing became much more prevalent. Noisy yard equipment was being used to the extreme. Tree cutting and wood chipping became common and regular. The playing of loud music 154 at parties became prevalent. Shooting at a nearby police firing range seemed to have increased. Blasting at a nearby rock quarry was frequent and seemed to have increased in intensity resulting in the considerable shaking of our house. Airplane traffic to nearby airports seemed to have redirected their routes to fly above our home which was documented in the local newspaper. And many pickup trucks and other large vehicles in the area contributed a frequent loud electronic beeping noise when reversing. A short time later, emergency sirens from a nuclear power plant located in the area, would continually be tested. I believed that in the summertime, our family was more subjected to these noises more than others because we do not have air conditioning where the closing of windows would have been a possible small buffer to some of this noise. To digress somewhat, my views and reasons for not using air conditioning are that it is expensive to operate in this area (it is less expensive to operate in Florida) and can cause illness due to inside/outside temperature extremes. Our house also contains casement windows that make it impossible to install an air conditioning unit. Cutting a square into the exterior wall of our home was not an option that spouse and I would consider. In addition to the above noise and on a few occasions, nails were discovered in the tires of our automobiles. Also windows of family vehicles were discovered smashed in apparent overnight vandalism. Later, and by 2011 this vandalism continued with extensive damages inflicted with likely a hammer or crowbar on another family vehicle. The harassment mentioned above was just a sampling of some of the persecution my family and self endured for not agreeing with societal immoralities including abortion. At times I purchased goods from catalog companies and later by 2003 purchased personal and household items from internet retail sources. This year as well as into the early years of the 2000’s, I became aggravated with a seemingly new post office policy that required the recipients of any size package to retrieve that package at the post office. I remarked to spouse that if postage is paid to a specific address, then it is the responsibility of the post office to deliver that package to the address identified on the label of the package. Later, and by 2003 packages were delivered to our home address but were always delivered on Fridays. This problem however by 2009, was apparently resolved as packages were received at our home address as normal, throughout the business week. Another complaint of recent development regarding the mailing of certain correspondence as certified mail resulted in return receipts with illegible signatures and printed names. One asked spouse, why does one pay a premium for certified mail, when the person receiving the mail cannot be identified should a problem arise concerning the delivery? In addition to sensing fatigue and exhaustion, I experienced aches and pains that I believed were related to back problems. I sought the assistance of a chiropractor for this matter and shortly thereafter quit these visits due to a new therapy I thought to be uncomfortable and unsound. This therapy was the application of a damp cloth that was wired to administer low levels of electricity into the body. Another family member sought assistance from a physician for feelings of general malaise. After a physical examination, the physician exclaimed to the family member that this family member was the “walking dead”. I was horrified that a physician would state this to a patient who is feeling ill, and promptly secured an appointment with another physician. 155 I became aware and subsequently visited with a woman to whom I was cordially acquainted and who was ill with usually a very long term debilitating disease, but in her case, the disease became extremely accelerated. The woman had three young children that she tried to care for, to little avail during the daytime. The interior of the house was in shambles and dangerous for little children to inhabit. I asked her full time employed spouse if assistance could be provided to her on a daily basis through social services or insurance. He stated that eligibility for home aid care could not be provided through any government agency or insurance. Trying to seek assistance for this woman and her children through charity, I joined a volunteer group at the local Catholic parish. I notified the leader of the group of this woman’s and her children’s plight but was told that this Catholic group only helps the elderly. Thinking that perhaps I could change their minds and obtain assistance for this woman and her children, I joined this unpaid volunteer group where I was assigned to a pleasant woman of Polish descent who lived with extended family members. After accompanying her over a several week time span to medical appointments and assisted shopping excursions, I decided that she did not vitally need my help. In addition, this Catholic volunteer group required that I submit time sheets for the hours spent volunteering. I asked the reason for this nuisance paperwork and was told that the Archdiocese wanted to document the number of people the Church was helping. Returning back to visit the debilitated and incapacitated woman and her three children, I saw three kittens in the house. She informed me that her spouse brought the kittens’ home to her to provide her with company. I thought this to be bizarre. After attending school, daughter offered unpaid volunteer babysitting care for the three youngsters. While minding the children outside one day on our driveway, a car drove by containing teenagers who were shooting paintballs at daughter and the children. This crazy situation aside, a good opportunity is presented to discuss this latest fad and sport of the late 1990’s to early 2000’s. Many youths during this time purchased paintball guns for games of sport. I noticed that this sport activity inflicts considerable pain on the participants when struck by a paintball thus leading to and creating anger and participation in other Capital Sins in the youths. In the spring of this year, I contemplated together with spouse the possibility of hosting a foster child at our home. Deciding to gain more information on this, I attended a social services informational meeting on foster care. At this meeting I was astonished at the large amount of money provided by this agency on a monthly basis for the care of one child. There was a range of fees paid to foster parents based on the age and circumstances of the child with a top fee paid of $1200 a month for a disabled child. In addition to this monetary amount other allowances were made for clothing and medical care. One person attending the meeting asked if social services also pays for college. A single person was inquiring about hosting a foster child and was apparently eligible to do this. I left this meeting saddened and no longer desired to host a disadvantaged child at our home. Prior to beginning monetarily paid employment, an odd visit was paid to me by a parent of a friend, of a family member. Invited by me into our house, this person who I discovered to live in a wealthy neighborhood inquired of me of my opinion on the installation of both indoor and outdoor in ground swimming pools that this person was contemplating installing at this person’s home. As our family does not have an in ground swimming pool, I especially thought this inquiry to be bizarre. After much 156 prodding of me by this person unknown to me, I politely suggested that the person speak to someone specializing in the swimming pool installation field. With the assistance of spouse who thankfully arrived home from work earlier than usual, we slowly succeeded in ushering this person out of our home. During the course of this year, I began to read The Bible for the first time and vociferously recognized the huge trouble that this nation and world was in and would increasingly continue to be in, if people do not repent and return to the following of The Ten Commandments and other morality expounded in The Bible. To repent for my transgression of not keeping the Sabbath Day holy, I read and reread the Bible on a daily basis for several years. I did attend Catholic mass on several occasions during this year but was disturbed about some occurrences that were not within the ordinary expectations of mass. For one example, it was announced at services that Communion hosts were found on the floor of the church. A church official chastised the parishioners for what I believed to be a great sacrilege. Retrospective: Evil desires to confuse, frustrate, and disorient people through excessive and/or incomprehensible paperwork. Some people appear to purposely not follow instructions even when paid monetarily to accomplish a job. People under attack by evil lose some or all of their ability to work for their family’s best interest. The abiding by The Ten Commandments, avoidance of Capital Sins and Abominations together with earnest prayer to God can offer protection from evil doers. The high decibels of sound emitted from the emergency sirens of the nuclear power plant that are regularly tested, should be investigated for causing hearing loss especially in young children and infants as this group is probably most susceptible to damages of the inner ear. Some people during the hot and stifling days of summer, blast their air conditioning leading to a strain on the power system thus potentially causing power outages. This selfish practice causes others who use less energy consuming fans for cooling, to unfairly suffer. The electronic beeping sounds emitted from pick-up trucks when in reverse, in my opinion is an unnecessary annoying noise that people should not be subjected to. One’s experiences with package (mail) deliveries this year and in some later years, led to the contemplation that perhaps important mail is being withheld or delayed to some people to harass specific people for a variety of unknown reasons. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find competent paid professionals to assist in solving problems. In an immoral society, some people brazenly assume liberties over other people’s family and property. Paint ball gun play many times illicit the responses of pride and anger in the participants who are struck by paint balls both of which responses are Capital Sins. Games of laser gun tag can also result in similar reactions. Anxiety, agitation, and motivations for revenge are components of both games and so for these reasons, the above popular games should be avoided. Eliminating the addition of fluoride to the water supply may result in reduced thyroid problems for people living in the society where this substance is added. Some people appear to have no common sense in a society where many people are agreeing with gross immoralities. In an evil immoral society, some people in authority positions become abusive towards others. Evil doers within the society seek to eliminate in as many ways as possible those people that are speaking out against immorality and who are offering sane solutions to problems. Beware of people that use clever ways to gain access to one’s home. 157 Historical Accounts 1999: 55 An earthquake occurring on January 25 in Colombia kills more than one thousand people. Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones, become the first people to circle the earth in a hot air balloon concluding on March 21. The Dow Jones Industrial Average reaches above 10,000 on March 29. An earthquake in Turkey on August 17 kills more than seventeen thousand people. An earthquake in Taiwan kills about two thousand four hundred people on September 21. Exxon and Mobil Corporations merge to form the world’s largest corporation on November 30. A woman becomes the first person to row across the Atlantic Ocean by rowboat on December 3. NASA launches the Terra program which consisted of a group of satellites placed in orbit to monitor the Earth. Remarks: Unprecedented feats are accomplished by individuals. Many people are killed in natural disasters occurring throughout the world. 2000 As I knew abortion to be one of the gross immoralities in the United States, I wrote and prepared a letter to be sent to President Bush regarding the tax payer funding of fetal stem cell research for experimentation in laboratories. I was against this tax payer funded support of embryonic stem cell research. The letter written stated my objections to this kind of research that in essence was due to abortion and based on abortion. I further objected to the use of human beings for laboratory experimentation purposes. But before I had the opportunity to mail this letter in August, President Bush had made the decision to allow the federal funding (tax payer money), to be distributed for embryonic stem cell research in laboratories for sixty four approved embryonic stem cell lines which rendered my letter invalid and passé. Therefore I discarded the letter. At about this time, I began watching the daily workings of government through the televised transmission of activities in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. Much of what was being discussed contained an extraordinary large amount of abbreviations which made most of these programs incomprehensible to me. After watching many of these performances, I arrived at the conclusion that the government was purposely trying to confuse, confound, and disorient the American public who were viewing these shows. At this time I ceased to watch the daily happenings within government. On July 4, spouse, daughter, son, and I attended a fireworks display sponsored by a nearby town. On exiting this event and while walking to our automobile, one noticed an oblivious appearing young woman pushing a baby stroller containing an infant of about one year old. The child was sucking on a 158 pacifier whose large handle emitted many haphazard flashing lights. Sadly and looking at the baby’s forlorn face one realized that an infliction of brain damage was likely occurring to this child. Later and by 2012, one became aware of other apparently less obtrusive “lighting systems” being marketed to babies and young children. For examples lighted pillows, blankets, and wall lights depicting various designs and changes of color, likely results in producing illusions to tired children, that affects a child’s way of defining reality. Also these lights could have a hypnotic effect on the young child’s developing brain. During the winter of this year as I was driving to work but stopped at a traffic light, I noticed children standing at street corners apparently waiting for school busses in below freezing weather, wearing no winter coats or jackets. I further and increasingly understood at this time the urgency of correcting societal immoralities. One read an impressionable and disturbing story in a Sunday newspaper magazine supplement about an African woman who gave birth to twelve children but was left with only one or two children because the others had died of malnutrition and disease. She spoke about her plight with a reporter where it was explained that she relied on periodic charitable distributions of rice to sustain her family. She spoke of how often times her large bag of rice was stolen from her hut shortly after obtaining this food thus leading to the starvation deaths of some of her children. The village where she lived, in the past, was a self sustaining village based on an agricultural economy where most people living in the village planted and harvested their food supply. This food supply was stored in a cooperative community type of warehouse where it was recently repeatedly stolen by a few people living in the village and then sold in a city market to the benefit of those few, which left most of the people living in the village without food. The reporter asked her why she did not leave the village to live in a more prosperous area. She lamented that she was too confused and too weak to leave. Some of the comments written by readers of this article shown in the magazine the following week were extremely wicked. Some people wrote that she should not be giving birth to children and if she finds herself expecting a child, she should abort that child. No comments that I recalled offered good advice or a possible solution to this poor woman’s and the honest villagers’ plight. Perhaps through the abiding by The Ten Commandments, avoidance of Capital Sins and Abominations the villagers can gain God’s assistance to restore the village to a moral foundation and thus prosperity. There was a story in the local newspaper about a single parent with several children who was financially incapable of providing enough financial support for his family. He lost the place of his and his family’s residence and so social services intervened in this family’s plight. Apparently, since no affordable housing was available, the family was placed in a motel for about six months. At the end of this time period, the bill to taxpayers amounted to close to $60,000. I stated to spouse that this large amount of money could have likely come close to purchasing a condominium for this family with little or minimum mortgage. At about the same time, a large parcel of land owned by the State of New York containing many quality multi-story grey stone buildings in a wooded and natural area became available for purchase by the county or a town. A town in the county purchased this expansive property and officials asked the public for their input on how this property should be used. A meeting was scheduled that I 159 attended to discuss this issue. I was thinking that a section or all of the property (based on need) could be used for a community work and study home as explained in the Commentary on Welfare. Contrary to my thought of using the property to help the poverty stricken, most all of the people attending the meeting suggested that the property be used for leisure activities of town residents to include the establishment of a golf course. A few suggested that a portion of the property could be used for town offices. After listening to other’s ideas concerning the use of this property, I decided not to broach the subject of a community work and study home with this group of people, due to fears of attacks by evil. I dishearteningly left this meeting as no suggestions were made to address the concerns of the many needy people residing in the county and the astronomical costs to the taxpayers due to the lack of affordable housing and the lack of comprehensive career training for the poor. One evening while attending a high school open house and meet the teachers’ night at daughter’s and son’s and my alma mater school, one noted several trailers used for classrooms placed on the lawn of the school. As the school enrollment was significantly less than when I attended this same school, one questioned the reason for these portable classrooms. The answer received informed one that a large section of the school containing many classrooms was no longer available for use by students and teachers because this area was now designated for storage. This summer, I purchased a new automobile to reliably provide me with transportation to and from work as my older vehicle was increasingly experiencing mechanical troubles. Shortly after purchasing this vehicle that I was pleased with, a driver hit the rear of the car while I was stopped at a traffic light. Within a few weeks after this car was returned to me repaired from the automobile body shop, daughter asked me to drive home a friend of a friend. I asked daughter if there was someone at the friend of a friend’s home who could give this girl a ride back to her house. The reply was that no one could give her a lift home. Reluctantly, I agreed to transport this girl to her house. Without giving me prior advisement that I was nearing the home of the girl, I was told to make a left now as I was about to pass her house. Not seeing an approaching car due to the obtrusive lighting at dusk, my car was hit on the passenger side. Thankfully, no passengers inside the vehicle were seriously hurt. I noted that at least two adults were in the home of the friend of a friend’s house, with at least one car in the driveway, as I waited for forty minutes before the police arrived at the scene. The driver of the car that hit mine stated that he was driving a rental car as he was in an accident just a few days prior to this one. He could not believe these circumstances and stated that we should get together for dinner. I stated that I had just purchased this car and already was involved in two accidents after not having had an accident since I was sixteen years old. I interpreted these two accidents within this short period of time to be attacks by evil doers within the society. Through limited internet access at work, I became aware of an internet business that offered investigative services to the general public at a nominal fee. These services were advertised to supply the patron with highly personal information on anyone desired of the patron’s request. I was greatly perturbed at this sanctioned invasion of an individual’s privacy. A few years later, I was disgusted to learn that satellite views of individual’s homes could be accessed on the internet. In both of the above 160 cases no permission granted by the subject of the inquiry was needed. By 2006, I recognized more invasions of personal privacy as most everyone’s home address is posted on the internet with no permission granted by the person of residence. The above stated examples of privacy invasions are likely in violation of God’s Law regarding coveting. In the winter of this year, spouse, daughter, son and I together with another family of our acquaintance attended a bowling alley to engage in this sport. The interior of the bowling alley was darkened and multicolored lights were flashed in a strobe light way onto the bowling lanes as loud music played. I could not concentrate on my bowling technique and could not clearly see the pins at the end of the lane. I believed this to be an absolute insane way to engage in this sport and have not participated in this activity since. Over the course of the previous few years and well into the early years of the twenty first century, I noticed how extravagant gift giving was becoming. Bridal and baby showers changed from casual acquaintances giving small gifts to many giving very expensive gifts. For example, the purchase of a carriage for a baby in the past was usually given by a close family member or was a combined gift of several family members. During this time, a casual acquaintance would purchase this large and expensive gift for example, for someone with whom they were merely friendly. In addition, registries with a listing of desired gifts, was distributed to party attendees by the future recipient of gifts. Through further contemplation of this practice, it becomes clear that some people are politely demanding certain and specified gifts. In the past, this practice would have been considered to be extremely rude and ill mannered behavior. This year one became aware of some people seeking vacation excursions that included programs to swim with sharks. By 2012, a sea aquarium in the vicinity of one’s residence invited children and others attending the aquarium, to “pet” sharks contained in a shallow pool. A student had informed me about a disturbing phenomena that was occurring at school. After paying for lunch, many students would throw any returned change (coins) around the school cafeteria and school corridors. I would surmise that some school employees acquired plenty of extra money due to this crazy behavior. I also was alarmed with the over abundance of curse words and lewd discussion that I had heard permeating from the mouths of youths and other young people who were not only students but also employees of the corporation of my employment. I stated to daughter and son that through the use of expletives people lose their civilized vocabulary and thus can only speak using cuss words. In addition, I increasingly noticed the volatile tempers of all people both young and old. The slightest inconvenience or problem experienced often times resulted in an outburst of intense anger usually directed at a particular person. In the past and as a youth, I commonly recognized the grouchy and nasty attitudes of some older people but rarely did I witness this in younger people. Now, both old and young exhibited irritable dispositions. The tattooing of one’s skin and multiple piercings of one’s body to include ear lobes, tongues, and the naval area were also becoming very prevalent with the youth. Discussing this increasing problem with a parent acquaintance, the acquaintance stated that the tattooing of her child 161 would be fine, but she objected to the possible use of non sterile instruments during the tattooing procedure and so she accompanied her daughter to the tattoo parlor. At this time I recalled the elementary school that both of our children had attended. The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) had sponsored a weekend fair at the school where face painting and temporary tattoos were offered to the children of the school attending this social outing. I recognized during this discussion that young children were being prepared by the Parent Teacher Association to have their bodies desecrated in later life through this apparent benign introduction to “temporary” tattoos many years earlier. Still, I thought this parental attitude to be bizarre. Later this year, I became aware of the extreme promiscuity of young people. Many were involved in sexual activity and viewed this God ordained intimate aspect of marriage, as a physical education exercise involving many people and partners (this was a type of an insane sports team mentality). In conjunction with the above stated immoralities, the showering and washing of one’s body sometimes three to four times a day became commonplace. Among several reasons given for this obsessive behavior was that the shower provides one with a means of relaxation. Drug use apparently was another means of a highly destructive way to relax as the schools became infiltrated with illicit drugs. Beer and wine, the popular intoxicating beverages of my era of youth in the 1970’s and legal for purchase at eighteen years old was legislated to be illegal in recent times until reaching the age of twenty one years of age. In an almost purposeful way, dangerous drugs replaced these low in alcohol beverages. Spouse, daughter, son and I were invited to and attended a sixteen year olds birthday party that was held in the large basement of a church. This event included a variety of participants including young and old, traditional and conservative and liberal and progressive. The music played at this celebration was a combination of the reflections of all of the above kinds of philosophies and lifestyles, which in at least two of the above listed cases is most inappropriate based on the location of the event. Therefore it is suggested that any celebration’s program attended at a church or contained on church premises be carefully scrutinized by church officials for good moral content, prior to the event. This includes the type of music desired to be played, as well as certain performances and activities that will be portrayed to parishioners and the general public on church property. I was mortified when informed that the local Catholic Church, a beautiful and quaint field stone building was scheduled to be demolished to build a larger church on this same plot of land. This demolition did not make sense to me as I believed that an addition to the existing church could have easily accomplished the perceived need for a larger church, at much less of a cost than building a new church while at the same time, maintaining this most loved church. After suggesting this idea to a church official, I was told that builders had stated that it was more cost efficient to demolish the old church and then construct a new church. I thought this reasoning to be bizarre. In the spring, son was confirmed in the parish school due to the demolition of the church. Son selected brother’s and godfather’s name for his Confirmation name. A requirement of the Confirmation program was for the youths requesting to receive this sacrament to attend Catholic mass regularly. Attendance cards were required to be submitted to the priest at the conclusion of mass. I thought this to be disparaging, an affront, and an undue additional burden on the priest. 162 Retrospective: The use of abbreviations is one method evil uses to confuse language and confound the listeners. For one example on how language is confused, I noticed that some abbreviations can refer to more than one meaning. An investigation should be conducted to ascertain valid reasons why a large section of classroom space is no longer available for students and teachers use. Also, is this bizarre situation of available classroom non use to the preference of rented portable classrooms, occurring in other schools? People are increasingly attacked by evil within the society. Reject insanity by not participating in deranged activities and other situations. God warns people not to tattoo themselves. Read the Commentary on Attire and Body Art shown at the end of this book regarding the Bible passage related to tattoo’s. People are accepting decrees that defy common sense. Historical Accounts 2000: 56 Scientists basically can identify the genes of all human beings by June 26. NASA launches five space shuttle missions. Remarks: Many people do not understand the tremendous dangers of genetically identifying individuals. Read the Commentary on Genetic Identification shown at the end of this book for further information. 2001 I was increasingly recognizing that I was experiencing a problem comprehending conversation. I was unsure if this problem was due to me, or the others that I was conversing with. I decided to read some of the textbooks that students were were using in school. Much of what was written in the textbooks, I perceived also to be incomprehensible. I read sections of these textbooks to spouse and also our children. Spouse agreed that some passages written in these textbooks made no sense. Certain words of irrelevance not related to the subject of the sentence, were haphazardly placed in sentences seemingly designed to confuse and confound the reader. In addition, some sentences included in paragraphs were shown to have nothing to do with the topic of discussion. Also the use of two negatives in sentences actually resulted in a positive (turning English into mathematics) further confused and disoriented the reader’s understanding of a topic. When I approached some students with this fact, it was remarked that it does not matter what is written in the textbooks as the teachers do not use or closely follow these books for instruction. Apparently also report “writing” consisted of printing information off of the computer and turning this information in to the teacher for a grade. I also became aware that young people were identifying most ingestible substances as drugs. I was told that because I smoke cigarettes and drink coffee or occasionally tea that I was a drug addict. Upon inquiry, I later discovered that this curriculum was being taught in the schools. As one can realize the above curriculum taught to young people justifies the use of extremely dangerous pharmaceutical grade drugs. Another course offered at school required students to actually sell a confectionary product. Apparently, the students that sold the most products received the higher grade. I do not know where the money was disbursed from the sales of these products. During this time I curtailed my acceptance of social invitations. One of the last social gatherings I attended was a few weeks after the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center 163 buildings, where I was discussing this horror with others at a table. Shortly thereafter, all of those sitting at the table removed themselves from the table and left me sitting at this table alone. My focus then concentrated on family, job, and the seeking of reasons for the increasing insanity of the society. Even though I infrequently communicated with others outside of family, I still became aware of two atrocious and audacious situations concerning the children of acquaintances. Apparently, these families of my acquaintance were reported and then subjected to the decrees of outside authorities regarding the disciplining of their children (with the threat of the removing of their children from the home if the agency’s program was not followed). This made no sense to me as I believed both of these families to be upstanding, righteous citizens. Through a school and community program (D.A.R.E.) it also appeared that many other parents were being reported by children and others to school officials and other officials, and then subsequently to social service authorities for the “abusive” disciplining of their children. On one business trip to South Florida for the purpose of instruction on a cruise line’s policies and to view cruise ships, I was scheduled on a flight from New York to a South Florida city. The first flight scheduled was a connecting flight which required me to board the smallest airplane that I have ever ridden. There were about twenty people on board and the stewardess announced that the weight of the airplane had to be balanced prior to takeoff so people were asked to change their seats. After this harrowing flight and arriving at my destination of an in port cruise ship tour, I viewed a most disturbing and eerie display on one ship. Mannequins with the faces of past celebrities were scattered throughout the ship’s facilities. I was also introduced on this trip to new security technology where a person’s retinas were scanned prior to boarding the ship (one believes that a person’s fingerprints are sufficient for infallible identification purposes). One also believes this technology to be innately evil, perhaps even inflicting blindness in some select targeted people. This device may also have been put to use to threaten other people who may have been objecting to societal immoralities whether through discussions inside their homes (obtained through extremes of coveting) or with others outside of their homes. On another business trip, I viewed people while walking along the ship’s deck, inside of front windows abutting the ship’s deck, obtaining various body massages. I thought this practice to be an invasion of personal privacy to the recipients of the massages and I also believed this display to also inflict psychological harm on the ignorant passersby. Prior to boarding an airline flight to the city of a ship’s departure for a vacation, airport personnel searched one’s handbag where the agent discovered a small travel sewing kit that contained thread, a needle, safety pins, and a small three inch scissor with a one inch blade. The small scissor was confiscated and placed in a bin where I noticed other items some of which were not sharp, prompting me to wonder why these were taken from other passengers. A confusing new method of written communication debuted and was used especially by many young people that combined numbers with words. For example, instead of writing the word “before” the word and number combination “B4” would be written. Many times one became confounded with this type of communication. One day and while at work, a co-worker notified me and also possibly the client, that a 164 travel reservation made cancels “2nite”. One questioned the co-worker on this note where it was asked, does the reservation cancel tonight or in two nights? A short time later, a manager asked the co-worker to correct this language to reflect “old” English grammar because others might still be thinking the same way as Barbara. During the winter of this year, I planned a long weekend excursion to a mountainous upstate area of New York State where spouse, daughter, son, and I engaged in the activity of skiing. On the last day of our visit, daughter suggested that we participate in horseback riding that was offered in the area. Daughter had previously and regularly partook of this activity in Florida for several months but quit after a disturbing incidence. After the riding instructor in Florida changed stables for lessons, the owners of the second stable released several dogs out of their home during the instruction time causing the horse daughter was riding on to jolt and act erratically. I therefore determined that this new stable of lessons was unsafe and so daughter quit the program. But to return to the horseback riding offered in New York State, I agreed to engage with family in this activity. After crossing a snow covered field on horseback, the guide directed our group to a trail that ascended a hill. We noticed that there were two snowmobiles driven by people within a near but acceptable distance from the horses. I expected these snowmobilers to stay clearly away from the horses as any moral person or people would do. Instead however I was terrorized when the snowmobilers crossed directly in front of the animals causing the horses to become highly agitated. The horses that we were riding bucked and one sprung up on its hind legs. I was very concerned for son who was new to this activity. Thankfully, we all arrived back to the stable safely where my legs felt extremely weak upon descending from the horse I was riding. Beginning on Friday evening September 7, I wrote a letter to be copied, distributed, and mailed to the president, vice president, and all senators and members of The House of Representatives. I innately knew that the craziness and insanity in the society was somehow due to abortion. I also believed that people were becoming ill and dying prematurely likely also due to abortion policies. I recognized this as an emergency situation and so this weekend I was very motivated to write and send this letter to all members of the federal governing bodies which was placed in the outside mailbox at the local post office on Sunday evening, September 9, 2001. The content of the letter is shown below. September 7, 2001 Dear Honorable Congressmen and Senators, As decisions are currently made, pending, and forums for discussion established regarding stem cell research, it is necessary to carefully review where we have been, where we are going, and where we want this Nation to be, in the future. Is one human soul worth more than another? Is the human soul becoming a commodity to be produced, bought, and sold by Corporate America? Has permission been given by the dead embryos (murdered human souls), to extract their stem cells (genetic material), to benefit other living human souls? And, most of all are we completely losing our humanity? 165 Sanctioned abortion is a horrendous tragedy permitted by our Great Government (built under God), with the passing of Roe vs. Wade in 1973. Such an important ruling, with tremendous moral implications, affecting every man, woman, and child in America, was never voted on (in a “democratic” society), by the American People. The law was passed, basically due to the influence of “special” interest groups and agreeing “Supreme” Court Justices, with absolutely no consideration for the views of Americans, and most citizens were staunchly against the passing of that law. However, over time, most of US have become conditioned and have adjusted to the ultimate ramifications of the passing of the right to abortion law. Americans can rationalize “As long as it is not my child they are killing”. But the irony is, our children, grandchildren, and families are all being killed, but in a different way. Examine the content of the media (network television, movies, and some internet content), and the violent materials and weapons sold and look at the recent occurrences in the biotechnological complex. We do not need “specialists” or rocket scientists to tell us in what direction to head. What we need are thinking, common sense, stable, and well grounded people in politics, who are truly working to bring America back to sensibility. While abortion remains permissible, there can be no peace of mind nor conscience in America. A $300 tax rebate is nice, but it is not what America needs nor truly wants. (*author’s note: tax rebates were being increasingly offered by government and publicized in the media) Facts need to be faced. Roe vs. Wade needs to be overturned and this gentlemen, is the real issue we are currently facing. If there is no abortion allowed, then the entire stem cell issue (cloning, “Genetic enhancement” etc.) is moot in not only the public sector, but private sector as well. No decision will ever be necessary regarding an aborted human soul’s genetic material. We can put an end once and for all to the questions, compromises, and painful decisions made, regarding the use of aborted human body parts. It is time that the abortion issue be rekindled by Conscionable People and brought forth to a democratic vote by the American people. Yours truly, Barbara Nikonoff On Tuesday morning September 11, 2001 I felt an anxiety and a strange sense of foreboding upon entering the parking lot of the business of my employment as one observed a taxi cab departing the parking lot that was advertising a movie titled “Original Sin” on the roof of the cab. Shortly after settling in at work, word was delivered via the internet that one airplane had struck the World Trade Center building in New York City. A sense of excitement and stress combined with anxiety overtook me. While trying to maintain my composure, I learned that another airplane struck the World Trade Center. Shortly thereafter, I was introduced to a woman of Egyptian birthplace and descent who was hired to begin employment this day. I was asked to introduce her to the responsibilities of the job. I wondered why she began work on a Tuesday and I thought about the odd coincidence of the letter I had just mailed and was sickened. I requested to leave work and was dismissed from my job early that day. The first place I drove to after leaving work was daughter and son’s school. As I entered the long in length school parking 166 lot, I was stopped by a security guard just after turning off of the road and into the parking area where I was told to “slow down”. I did not believe myself to be speeding but further slowed my vehicle to a few miles per hour. To digress a bit, at a later date while retrieving one of my children from the school, security was voraciously waving the people on who were driving vehicles to move faster within the area close to the school that was infiltrated with young people standing outside of the school and crossing parking lot roadways. I was annoyed at this procedure and was reminded of the earlier security chastisement of September 11, 2001. I reported this abuse of security forces to a school official where I was asked to identify the culprit(s). I gave a physical description of one security employee, but mentioned to the school official that all of the security guards in that area at that time were involved, so the description given of one person was meaningless. The school official stated that she would investigate the incident. Shortly thereafter, the school official informed me that security was reprimanded for this affront and breech of their own policy. But to return to the events of September 11, 2001, upon driving to the front doors of the school, I observed daughter, upset and sitting on a wall in the front of the school being comforted by a teacher. There were no other students in the vicinity. I retrieved daughter and proceeded to drive home when I noticed that there were no other parents coming to retrieve or inquire of their children in the parking lot at that time. Upon arriving home with daughter, I believe that I telephoned the school inquiring of son’s health where I was informed that he was in class. Especially this day, and the months following this catastrophe a sense of surrealism became part of my everyday life. Shortly after the September 11 catastrophe I erected large anti-abortion signs on the front lawn of our property. I was given some flack by town officials for the erection of these signs but after investigation by town attorneys and other officials it was determined that these signs were legal under law. Further explanation is given of these incidences in a 2003 letter written to those involved in the World Trade Center catastrophe in New York City. During the winter, it was required by my employer that I attend a job seminar presented in a conference room at a local hotel where other employees from throughout the area would also be attending. Prior to beginning the seminar, employees were invited to procure a beverage and continental breakfast that was provided on a buffet table in a section of the room. Shortly after sitting at tables with our pastries and beverages and listening to the presentation, blood curdling screams and crying were heard emanating from the catering room next door. These screams of terror were followed with the loud applause and laughter of many people. Employees attending the seminar just glanced at each other some in a confused way and others in a disgusted way. Feeling sickened and upset with this occurrence I decided to investigate during a short seminar recess what was occurring in the room next door only to find out that this “celebration” was a Bris Milah. I thought that the laughter and applause following such a painful and solemn ceremony was completely inappropriate and lacked compassion for the tiny infant. At the end of the year, an opportunity presented itself through my job where spouse, daughter, son, and I could relatively inexpensively, vacation aboard a cruise ship with ports of call including Jamaica, Colombia, and Panama. In Jamaica, after visiting a renowned waterfall, we once again found ourselves in 167 a maze like situation as we tried to find our way back to the bus which was soon to be departing back to the cruise ship. The entrance from the parking lot into the area of the waterfall was straight and within a short walking distance. The hurried exit from the waterfall was long, winding, and arduous as we maneuvered around many retail shops. The suggestion is to switch the entrance and exit to this magnificent waterfall as some people may be in a hurry to catch a bus on exiting this natural wonder.In Colombia, we hired a tour guide to show us the sights of the quaint and antique areas of the city of Cartagena. We visited an antique Catholic monastery located on the top of a hill where we were mistakenly told that St. Augustine resided there. Later, and after provided with home internet access and reliable service, I discovered this monastery to be not where St. Augustine resided but to be an Augustinian monastery. While on the way to the monastery I was disturbed to view a partially clothed baby precariously tottering near a precipice of a hill. Inside the monastery, very old and antique Spanish coins were displayed in glass cases in a museum room. I wondered why however, newly minted Susan B. Anthony coins were also displayed together with these antique coins. Visiting a church in town, I was frightened to view a complete skeleton of a renowned church leader displayed in front of the altar. I believed this display to be evil. Later we shopped for souvenirs. One shop entered displayed large amounts of emerald and gold jewelry on the top of empty glass jewelry security cases. I thought this to be bizarre. In Panama, I noted the severe poverty situations of many people residing in Colon. I wondered how this could be possible as the country of Panama most logically receives huge revenues from the fees paid by the thousands and thousands of boats and ships that pass through the Panama Canal on an annual basis. The infrastructure of this area of the country is also primitive. Some roads are dangerously narrow and unpaved. While visiting an old and ancient fort at the top of a hill, our tour guide’s automobile tires became stuck in mud as the access road to this fort and popular tourist destination was unpaved. Retrospective: When I attended public schools in the 1960’s to 1970’s, textbooks were relied on for most all classroom instruction. At that time and for the most part these books were comprehensible. Public school districts may want to reference textbooks from the 1960’s for comparison purposes. In an immoral society, many people do not want to discuss issues of societal importance or become involved in changing immoral situations thus giving evil doers, free reign to inflict further immorality and damages on the society. Children and others are reporting parents for some perceived or real injustice or abuse that is similar to what was written in the prophetic book “1984”. Perhaps also some parents are being reported through extremes of coveting occurring inside of their homes. As far as one is concerned, items “taken” from passengers should be returned to them when reaching the destination of their flight. Confiscated items could be placed in a package and sent to the departing flight where airline personnel could maintain the designated contraband until arriving at the destination when it is then returned to the passengers. Considerable thought should be given to the wanton practice of circumcision where Biblical religious instruction is void or lacking for the male children undergoing this procedure. This Jewish Covenant, when there is little or no teaching of Biblical morality could serve the purposes of the occult. In other words the Covenant is not between God and the person but between the occult and the person. The occult therefore could gain an evil influence over the biblically 168 uninstructed circumcised male who may have, because of the circumcision, a tendency to agree with societal evils. Contrarily uncircumcised males lacking a biblically based moral education may be a specific target of evil within the society due to an innate tendency to disagree with some (but not all) evil agendas. If an uncircumcised or circumcised male adheres to biblically based morality, protection from evil is granted although this becomes complicated as asking for materialism (a job for example), usually becomes a request and component of legitimate religious people in an evil society. Attacks continue against people for apparently no rhyme or reason. Strange and odd occurrences and situations appear to be happening in other areas of the world as well. The letter sent to federal lawmakers in September of this year, contained information pertaining to one of many major problems in society. The timing of this letter sent was eerie as prior to this I had only sent one other letter to an official and that was in the early half of the 1990’s. If the other problems are not resolved to a specific extent in conjunction with the elimination of abortion, it will probably be extremely difficult if not impossible to end abortion. Although if abortion did end, people would likely become more moral and thus not be as easily influenced and/or mind controlled by evil hence their sanity would be restored, resulting in the ending of the other major immoralities within the society. Read the Commentaries and The Ten Commandments for Today’s Society shown at the end of this book for further information. Also, at the time of the writing of this letter I was deprived of important information as I did not have reliable and virus proof internet service at our home. Historical Accounts 2001: 57 Noah, an Indian Bison is the second cloned animal to be born on January 8. Two earthquakes occurring on January 13 and February 13 in El Salvador kill about one thousand four hundred people. An earthquake on January 26 in India kills more than nineteen thousand people. About three thousand people are killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, Pennsylvania, and Washington D.C.. About one thousand people are killed in mudslides in Algeria on November 10. NASA’s NEAR shoemaker is the first spacecraft to land on an asteroid. Remarks: The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks results in an unprecedented increase in security in the United States that corresponds with many people losing various liberties and freedom. 169 2002 By January, I decided to become involved in the pro-life movement as I began to more clearly recognize that abortion and infanticide were one of the major reasons for the increasing immorality and insanity in the society. I joined a local Right to Life group who arranged for bus service to Washington D.C. for the March for Life demonstration and walk on Constitution Avenue to the Capital building. Upon arriving in Washington D.C., I was astounded to view the large crowd of people that gathered from all areas of the country for this event. After listening to speeches from religious groups and political leaders the people attending the event proceeded to walk to the Capital building. I decided that rather than to try to follow the local Right to Life group who was maneuvering through this crowd of people, I would instead view what was occurring at this March. This decision resulted in me losing the familiar faces of this hometown group. After the March, I somehow found my way through a complicated and attendant free but computerized subway system to the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception where I attended Catholic mass. Prior to attending the scheduled mass, one stopped at the cafeteria of Catholic University which is next to the Cathedral, to procure a small meal. I brought this meal to an outside table where other students sat at other tables and dined. While the students dined, one watched food packaging debris blow off of a table that was not retrieved by the any of the four students, sitting at the table. I was disgusted to view this general lack of concern for the environment by the students. After attending mass I strolled through this immense Cathedral together with thousands of other people. I noted in the center of the dome of the Cathedral a painting of a blond, blue eyed man. I thought to ask who this person was but decided against it as I was in a solemn mood that day and did not desire to converse with others. I assumed this man to be a Catholic saint. Bus transportation was provided from this location back to the area of my residence. During the next four months at work, I regularly checked a mass media news source to scan the news for any progress in the correcting of immoralities within this society. I strongly believed that the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center buildings were most definitely related to abortion. Most all news reviewed suggested that instead of rectifying societal problems (including abortions in laboratories), societal immoralities were increasing. At this time, I thought about quitting my job to work full time to assist in the goal of eliminating abortion. So finally, one day in May I left the company of my monetarily paid employment. After leaving my job, I discussed the critical need to end abortion with various people including some of those in the prolife movement. I believed that an intensive national educational campaign was needed to end this tragedy. The responses I received ranged from indifference to mild acknowledgement of this problem where it was explained to me that funds were not available for such an endeavor. Frustrated and exasperated with the above conclusion and resignation, I decided to attempt to raise money for a national highway billboard campaign to alert the population to the urgent need to end abortion. One idea contemplated for products that I could sell in order to raise the necessary funds for this project, were religious flags. This idea was solidified one day while driving through town. At the local Catholic school, I noticed the flag pole installed on the premises with two flags flying on one pole, the American flag was positioned on top of the flag of the religious order. I was thinking at the time that a religious flag should be flown above the national flag (as we are “one nation under God’) when two flags are 170 flown on the same pole. But with that suggestion aside, I visited the local library to research the symbols of the five major world religions and discovered that the Buddhist religion was represented with a Wheel, Christianity a Cross, Hinduism an Om, Muslim a Crescent Moon and Star, and Judaism with the Star of David. I believe Divine inspiration assisted me in selecting the colors of the flags to arrive at the following combinations: The Buddhist Wheel was represented in gold with a dark green background, the Christian Cross was shown in brown with a yellow background, the Hindu Om was depicted in red with a gold background, the Moslem Crescent Moon and Star was shown in white with a navy blue background and the Jewish Star of David was depicted in blue with a white background. I also thought about combining these symbols on one flag to suggest cooperation between these faiths. The background color selected for this representation was purple with a dove and olive branch featured centrally. I hired a computer graphic designer to photograph the flags and place them on an advertising slick for mailings and Sunday newspaper supplement promotions. Somehow I managed to find addresses of flag manufacturers in the area on our virus infiltrated home computer. After a few telephone discussions with different companies, I settled on one company in New Jersey to manufacture six sample flags. I then visited our home computer to provide me with directions to the sales office of the flag manufacturer. The directions provided by our computer stated that one needed to cross a bridge over a river only to cross the river again after driving several miles on a highway, by tunnel. I stated to spouse that the computers were likely being programmed to provide false and illogical directions. Through this experience one can surmise that other false and illogical information is being provided to the population of people through “reliable” sources on the internet. After procuring the sample flags from the manufacturer, the promotional business hired photographed the flags and produced ten thousand, eight and one half inches by eleven inches advertising slicks. The advertisement is provided to view by the reader at the end of this year’s autobiography. The business address has been removed. Shortly after producing this advertising material the graphic artist’s home and place of business was infiltrated, burglarized, and vandalized by a group of wayward youths while the graphic artist and the family were not at home. In conjunction with this flag manufacturing and promotional process, I sought the assistance of an attorney to explain the establishment of various business options. I requested that this flag company be established as a not for profit organization as all profits procured were intended to be used for an educational campaign to end abortion. The attorney informed me that there were certain restrictive government rules and regulations regarding charitable, not for profit organizations and when some of these were explained, I rejected this type of business establishment due to these restrictions as these restrictions would have prevented me from saying what I wanted to say. The attorney then stated that a corporation would be established with charitable deductions taken at the end of the fiscal year. The attorney gave me the example of Paul Newman’s pasta sauce company where all profits from the business benefit charity. This is how the attorney stated the flag company business would be established. Prior to soliciting flag sales from the general public, fifty letters and as I recall other pertinent information were sent to major corporate foundations requesting financial support for a national 171 highway billboard campaign to end abortion. Forty eight letters and cards were returned rejecting this request for funds. I realized that religious organizations would be a key market for the purchase of these flags and so I procured a four volume directory set of books containing the names and addresses of every religious organization in the United States. An advertising company was hired to place the flag advertising slick into the coupon section of the Sunday newspapers in the markets of Portland, Bangor, Lewiston, Waterville, and Augusta Maine, Camden and Woodbury New Jersey, St. Paul Minnesota, Chattanooga Tennessee, Roanoke and Lynchburg Virginia, and Lafayette and Lake Charles Louisiana. In addition, son and I addressed and mailed a cover letter and the advertising slick to 8791 religious facilities of all denominations throughout the United States. The letter is shown below. Dear Religious Leader: Flags of Inspiration, a private and not for profit organization, is offering Flags of Religion to end the murderous Right to Abortion, in the United States of America. Since 1973, in the United States, a holocaust of 45,000,000 human souls have been systematically exterminated with the seemingly “Good Housekeeping” stamp of approval of the United States Government. This translates to a daily execution of 3,500 human lives. As we all know, this horrendous desecration and attack on human life was not voted on by the people, in a “democratic” society. Basically, it was passed, on the opinions of a few people (“special” interest groups) and agreeing “Supreme” Court Justices. This travesty of legislation, has resulted in the tossing of our Nation’s people into moral and mental turmoil. People seem to be no longer as caring, loving, and concerned about others, as they were in the past. The approval of Roe vs. Wade, has caused the loss of our own humanity. Flags of Inspiration, is planning a National Billboard Campaign to eradicate this awful tragedy. The hope is that a national “Grass Roots” highway advertising effort, encouraging the public to contact political officials regarding this heinous “right” will result in the rescission of this wrong. All profits received from the sale of Flags, will be used to fund a National Highway Billboard Campaign to rescind the abortion wrong. Flags of Inspiration, is offering Flags of 5 World Religions and a World Unity Flag depicting an Understanding and Respect for other’s beliefs. The Flag of your choice can be displayed with dignity at the Community’s Place of Worship. Also, congregational members can demonstrate their support for ending abortion, by purchasing a Flag for display at home. And, as we are “One Nation under God” the consideration may be, to display the Religious Flag of God, above the National Flag. Thank you for your support. 172 This four month long extraordinary effort yielded one order for a flag from the State of Ohio for the Jewish Star of David. The purchaser of this flag was sent the sample flag free of charge and the personal check was returned together with this flag. Needless to say, I was upset with the outcome of this endeavor but at the same time I became highly suspicious as to what was transpiring in this country. It is most appropriate at this time to discuss the computer as it related to the lives of our family. In the early 1990’s, spouse and I purchased a second hand computer that included many programs for daughter and son’s use. Although the program materials were good as they contained educational subject matter including encyclopedias and specialized subject oriented materials, the computer was extremely slow and frustrated daughter and son. In 1997, spouse and I purchased a new computer system with similar educational materials and games that were included with the purchase of the computer. This computer system was a “closed” system as it was not connected to outside internet. At that time I recall that internet services were just beginning to be introduced to this area of South Florida. My objection to this home computer system purchased was that there were too many games included with the purchase of the computer. In the year 2000, spouse subscribed to an internet service almost exclusively used by daughter and son. I was not pleased with the service as it was recognized by me that daughter and son were likely accessing some illicit websites. Every time I tried to cancel this service, the corporate representative of the internet provider would insist that I continue the service through giving me a huge range and variety of reasons to keep the service. Shortly after subscribing to this internet service, the computer became infiltrated with so many viruses that it was virtually rendered useless except for what seemed to be plenty of invitations to view pornography. Finally, after a flaring of tempers, I was able to cancel the subscription with this internet service provider. Due to all the viruses that infiltrated the computer system, the computer was discarded. To accomplish some research on questions that arose related to the abortion issue, I borrowed books and used the computer at the local library for internet research. There were about seven computers available for public use at the library with each computer given the name of one of the seven dwarfs in the fairy tale story of Snow White. This method of using the internet became frustrating to me as questions could not be researched and possibly answered immediately as a trip to the library was necessary. Also, there were sometimes long lines of people waiting to use the library internet service. In August of 2002, spouse purchased a new computer with protection from viruses. From about this time we also hired a computer technician on an annual basis to install anti-virus protections as new viruses are always surfacing on the internet. Finally in August of 2002, I could reliably research from home, topics pertaining to abortion and other related evils within the society. Researching one afternoon, I happened upon a news story related to the Oklahoma bombing of a government building that mentioned the Operation Vampire Killer report. 58 Once I discovered and read this report, I was on my way to the solving of so many puzzles. An important book that was mentioned in the report which seemed to suggest, based on a book excerpt, that invasions of people’s personal privacy were occurring since the early years of 1970, was incredibly not available at the large local library. As a matter of fact, the only library that this out of print book was available at within the closest proximity to our residence, was Rutgers University Library. At that point, I believed that important books were being withheld from the general population of people to perhaps 173 keep them ignorant of important history (and life saving information) regarding the implementations of evil policies by industrialists and government. Through considerable and extensive research on the internet over the course of nine years I discovered some other very important historical books that explained the progression of evil in modern day society. After much reading and some sorting of books that I believed were not as important or contained possibly damaging to the reader, occult information, I condensed my findings to a book list placed in the original consequencesofabortion.com for consideration of books to read, by the viewers of this website. Questionable information gathered through the reading of some of these books prompted me to further verify what was written by the authors through researching on the internet for the purpose of confirming facts stated in these various books. Most of the time, verifying information for what was stated in the books read could be found through other sources on the internet. One book in particular, “Tragedy and Hope” required several months of careful reading. This book in my opinion states the system implemented by evil to achieve the goals of gaining wealth, power, and control over the population. In other words, creating a tyranny situation for secular populations of people because and due to the people continually agreeing with, which results in engaging in, immoral policies and practices. All facts stated in this book of my investigation were verified through other sources on the internet. I thought that this book contains so much information that perhaps hundreds of books could be spawned through more specific and detailed analysis of some of the topics and issues presented in “Tragedy and Hope”. Another key book of importance that the reader should pay careful attention to is “Votescam”. This book documents the extensive corruption in the tallying of votes. Other information regarding this critical priority for rectification is found in many other websites (search: corruption in the voting system, electoral fraud, tampering of electronic voting machines etc.). The books on the website book list and book bibliography together with the other websites, audio courses, and documentary DVD’s shown essentially combined with Bible reading, presents all of the evidence both concrete and circumstantial that is needed to determine that the masses of people suffer greatly (through illness, poverty and death (murder, killing, and suicide) when Biblical morality is not adhered to by the people. In addition, statistics were reviewed including crime statistics from 1960 to 2000 where it was shown that there was a marked increase in all crimes during the period from initial abortion approval in 1960 (abortifacient birth control pill) to more recent times of rampant, overt abortion. Also, various illnesses were researched showing an increase in occurrences of all illnesses and especially and unexpectedly in the youth of the general population of people during this time span. A wide range and large number of charitable organizations were also established and surfaced during this 40 year time period as well, most likely due to the above stated facts. Shortly after being provided with reliable internet service, one began to realize how explanations of procedures and systems had changed after the internet became widely available for the public’s use. In the 1970’s through the 1990’s when one questioned people in positions of authority on practices and/or procedures that seemed odd or immoral, warped but logical explanations for the above were provided to me which one reluctantly accepted based on the authority’s “expert” position and lack of knowledge on my part. Later in the early years of 2000 and after internet access and Bible reading, when questioning immoral practices and procedures to officials by stating the evidence gathered to support my position, it was then stated that the official was just following the guidelines by the official’s 174 authorities. In other words they were “just following orders” which is reminiscent of the explanations of lower level Nazis concerning the Jewish genocide during World War II. The reader of all past letters written by me should read these letters with an understanding that I was still grappling and in the process of acquiring more information. Obviously, these same letters would not be written today. In some cases I have interjected an author’s note so as not confuse the reader with regard to the progression of and the completeness of this project and conclusions finally reached in 2013 and provided to the reader through the completion of this book and Commentaries shown at the end of the book. That being said, the following letters were written to officials in 2002. I have decidedly removed some passages of the following letters to prevent the identification of private ordinary people should some other people decide to engage in coveting and possibly harassment and other more major crimes against individuals. In other cases, the author’s discretion was used to edit other passages. Where editing has occurred, this will be noted to the reader through the use of parentheses and a *. Also, some grammatical errors have been corrected. In August of this year I wrote and sent a letter to the Commissioner of Education for the State of New York. As has been written in this book throughout the years, I became increasingly concerned for the well being of the youth of this country. As has been shown, the public secular schools over time and in many instances have completely replaced parents as the primary educators of their children. I noted that the youth of today were clearly being educated into increasing immorality resulting in the destruction of many youths. At the time, I did not positively realize that this was being done purposely to gain more wealth, power, and control over the population by evil. The content of this letter is shown below with authors’ notes. Dear Commissioner Mills: The decision to write this suggestive note is based on the experiences encountered during the 13 year time span of New York State school attendance of my children. (*Author’s note: I decided not to elaborate on the three year hiatus in Florida due to complications and distractive long windedness and irrelevance, as this is a national problem). The advice of education experts was strictly adhered in our household. “Inventive spelling” was the order of the day. Experts touted that “it is more important that a child express views than to err in the spelling of those views”. Thus, many times spelling was left uncorrected by the teacher. The result of this philosophy was that the simplest of words and grammatical structure were deficit in children well into the junior high and high school years. Employers are now dealing with these communication problems of employees. “It does not matter what children are reading, as long as they are reading” was recommended. Therefore comic books, Goosebumps novelettes, and other questionable literature were not discouraged, and even encouraged by teachers and other revered administrative staff. This viewpoint has contributed to children’s attitudes changing to a more violent and warped view of society and 175 human kind. An open house in my son’s middle school’s art class showed that many children, when asked to draw freely drew devils, monsters, and other hideous creatures and depicted violent acts. This artwork was displayed to parents, who were visibly shaken and distraught over these illustrations. The key phrase of the time was “Higher order thinking skills are most important in this environment of technology”. Never mind that children cannot add or multiply two simple figures in their head, without the use of a calculator. It seemed as though common sense skills, according to curriculum masters were no longer necessary. After years of following “experts” advice, the conclusion is that they are very misdirected in their philosophy. This severe inaccuracy of child guidance has resulted in a significant majority of children that are unable to contend with the basic requirements and issues of life. My daughter has graduated from high school and my son is in 11th grade. Neither will benefit from any new school reforms. The suggestions offered are based on experiences (theirs and mine) with the school district and Albany mandated curriculum. The hope is that other children will benefit thus ensuring future competent leaders and citizens. 1. Textbooks are a teaching tool and usually cover a full school year’s curriculum. Textbooks should be used. A teacher should not deny the use of the designated textbook in favor of endless “creative” lessons. Curriculum in the textbook needs to be closely followed to ensure that the required skills and knowledge are acquired by the student. The teacher and the students have a full schedule abiding by the textbook curriculum and accompanying materials (ie: workbooks). An effective teacher corrects student’s work thoroughly, plans future lessons, and contacts parents regarding student’s progress when necessary, without having to plan constant creative lessons. 2. Teachers should be only responsible for teaching the basic grade levels’ required curriculum. These include English, mathematics, science, social studies/history, and a foreign language if grade appropriate (*Authors note: At that time I did not realize the vital importance of Bible study to the complete education of the child.) Extra curricula are the responsibility of parents and the religious organization to which the child is affiliated. Too much subject matter to cover results in a rushed and/or “watered down” curriculum. Other topics are not the responsibility of the school district. 3. The mathematics curriculum needs to emphasize universal life mathematics skills. Additional and more advanced skills are the curriculum of colleges and universities. A suggestion for high school students is to require a year long course on Federal and State income tax filing. Certainly, different scenarios can be explored and computed using basic arithmetic skills and the deciphering skills required in solving word problems. The result of this educational agenda, should lend itself to adults that can understand their own financial situation. Also, this will probably result in greater honesty in filing. Accountants know all the “loopholes” the average person does not. 176 4. There has been much discussion about increasing the length of the school year. In the distant past, children were required to assist in family farm fields, as we once were a largely agricultural society. This no longer applies to most children, yet they continue to remain off from school for 3 months. Teachers do need planning time, professional training time and rest, as time spent being a thorough teacher during the school year, can result in days where teachers work past midnight. A compromise to teachers and solution to excessive non productive time off is to make mandatory one month of community service work over the summer, in order to fulfill graduation requirements. High school students are usually blessed with much enthusiasm and energy. I’m sure charitable and not for profit organizations throughout the State would be pleased to have the added assistance and helping hands for those in need. The benefits to students will be the peace of mind and good feeling that one receives from helping others, a greater appreciation for their own life situation, and perhaps have an idea on a fulfilling career goal. Of course, students should be able to choose from a variety of charitable organizations to fulfill graduation requirements. So, the suggestion is to extend the high school year by one month, to include community service work. 5. “Centers” in the early primary years, can add to or create attention deficit disorders. Centers involve children’s assignment to various school work areas (blocks, dress up, etc.). It goes without saying and based on talent and interest, that a child will favor one center over another. A child will watch others, and want to be at their favorite center. However, rotation is the “order of the day” and so the child faces anxiety until their turn comes to go to a favored station. Is it possible that all children in a classroom can be “on the same page at the same time”? Education experts seem to have to justify their expertism at the expense of harming children by creating curriculum that can lead to anxiety, frustration, and attention deficit in students. If the basics work (as they have in the past), then why change tried and true curriculum? Additional excitement, mayhem, and sometimes chaos, especially in these times are unnecessary. Children need stability, consistency, and clear direction in assignments and expectations without added distractions. Basic and common sense skills are the requirements that are necessary to succeed in managing life’s situations. Too many children have attention deficit disorders and are medicated with Ritalin on the recommendations of health professionals and school staff. Have studies been conducted as to why this is occurring in an unprecedented way? My notion is that a new and exciting lesson plan on a regular basis and rushed curriculum can only add to the problem of over stimulated children. The basics and repetition are the requirements for success in the classroom. And probably, there should be periods of rest and meditation at appropriate intervals. 6. Finally, state school psychology practices need to be carefully examined. At an open house, I viewed 3 posters on the psychiatrist’s office window, inviting students to gay/straight alliance meetings. I thought to myself, if you’re not a homosexual now, you will be when you leave the meeting and a partner will even be provided, courtesy of the school district. Years ago, if a student had that kind of inclination, he or she would be referred to an outside agency for counseling or help, if requested. Why are these types of meetings taking place in the public 177 school system attended by underage children? Let’s even put sexual orientation aside. These meetings are directly or indirectly promoting sexual promiscuity. It is beginning to appear as though there is an orchestrated effort to undermine the success of many students. For example, a social studies course properly entitled Participation in Government was abbreviated (by Albany mandate, as told to me by a school counselor) as PIG Issues. The students thought this abbreviation on their schedules was humorous and therefore did not take the course seriously. Perhaps, the abbreviation was purposely imposed, to keep young people out of a well defined government hierarchy of self serving politicians involved in graft and corruption. In addition, school counselors are advising students on which courses are “important to graduate” and which courses are “unneeded”. Why should a student or anyone for that matter work on a project that is unneeded? This is bad advice to give a student. School districts certainly cannot be blamed for all of society’s woes. However, they do not need to further contribute to the problems. Schools can be and should be one of the stabilizing forces in a student’s life. Yours truly, Barbara Nikonoff The above letter was copied to the local school superintendent and local board of education. The Federal Department of Education was copied as well as a New York State senator. In June spouse, son, and I attended daughter’s high school graduation ceremony. Years earlier I had graduated from the same school. Three hundred and twenty one students graduated with daughter. Four hundred and ninety six students graduated with me. The county population of people grew by approximately one third from 1976 to 2002. Based on these figures and with comparable fertility rates, my hypothesis is that probably more than half of daughter’s graduating class was aborted. During the ceremony there were three students each to the left and right (total of six students) of the central speaker at the podium, who were translating speeches into sign language. I thought that only one person was necessary to accomplish this translation should there have been persons in the audience who were hearing impaired. After the ceremony, one became aware of a student friend of daughter’s who “won” a scholarship to a nearby college. After congratulating her and her parents on this award, I was informed of the school’s tuition. The student’s mother stated that the annual tuition to this mediocre school was thirty thousand dollars and that the five thousand dollar annual scholarship received still made the college expensive. The parents had another school in mind for the student to attend that was less costly however because of the scholarship award, the student insisted on attending the more costly school. I stated to spouse that a scholarship of this nature was nothing more than a discount coupon that served to entice and influence students into enrolling in an expensive school resulting for some in large debts. 178 This year, son expressed an interest in acquiring a tattoo. As I was in the process of reading and rereading The Bible, I recalled a passage that warned people against defiling their bodies with tattoos. However, I could not specifically recall where I had read this passage in The Bible. Hurriedly and exasperated I searched The Bible to present proof of God’s disgust with tattoos. Finally, after much searching, the passage was found in Leviticus 19:28. Beginning in August, there was a construction project underway at our home where spouse and I hired construction workers to install on a backyard deck a sun porch. This construction was well worth the cost as the large amount of natural light provided by this room aided in maintaining a good, positive mood for me throughout the seasons of the year but especially in winter and also during the years of home confinement beginning in 2005 to the present day. Over the course of the past decade and one half, major highway authorities in the States of New York and New Jersey became increasingly oppressive with regard to toll collecting. In the 1980’s, a New York bridge toll discount coupon booklet was sold to daily commuters for a reduced toll when crossing a bridge in the area. This coupon booklet was purchased by placing an order with the attendant at the toll booth. Later and by the early 1990’s, a highway authority banking system was established where commuters desiring a reduced toll for the bridge crossing would be required to place funds in an account (where money was electronically withdrawn) at a location miles away from the bridge crossing. If a highway authority bank account fell below the required funds for toll payment, the commuter was charged an extraordinary fee or penalty for insufficient funds. Also, a deposit for an electronic device was required which one placed on one’s vehicle windshield for scanning at the toll area. Over time and by this year, toll lanes in New York and New Jersey accepting cash payments were greatly reduced and inconveniently positioned for some drivers on the roadway causing an increase in accidents as drivers attempted lane changes to reach a cash toll booth. In addition, many large lighted signs flashing directions, sometimes not in unison at each toll booth, disoriented and further confused many drivers likely leading to additional vehicular accidents. On September 2, 2002, I wrote a letter to alert forty seven major national newspapers throughout the United States of the urgent need to end abortion. The content of this letter is shown below. This letter has been edited from the original shown in consequencesofabortion.com. Dear New Editor: Since 1973, in the United States, a holocaust of 45,000,000 human souls (or developing human beings), have been systematically exterminated with the seemingly “Good Housekeeping” stamp of approval of the United States Government. This translates to a daily execution of 3,500 human lives. As we all know, this horrendous desecration and attack on human life was not even voted on by the people, in a “democratic” society. Basically, it was passed on the opinions of a few people (“special interest groups”) and agreeing “Supreme Court Justices”. Any attempt to overturn Roe vs. Wade was based on the “exception to the rule” rather than common circumstances.This travesty of 179 legislation has resulted in the tossing of our Nation’s people into moral and mental turmoil. In general, people seem to be no longer as caring, loving, and concerned about others as they were in the past. The approval of Roe vs. Wade has caused a loss to our own humanity. Enclosed is a letter mailed to more than 500 Senators, Representatives, the Vice-President and President. The last of several groups of letters were mailed on September 9, 2001. Eerily, 2 days later, the passenger jets hit the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and one destined to hit the White House, crashed in Pennsylvania. Over the past several years, I have become increasingly concerned about the state of our Nation. Media seemed out of control with blatant indiscretion in reporting and programming, internet arrived totally unregulated, guns and other weapons were being sold indiscriminately (and all these horrors still exist). The final straw, to me personally was and is the human cloning issue and genetic manipulation, coupled with the use of aborted fetus stem cells to insert into others. I was unusually motivated and compelled to write and send the enclosed letter (dated 9-7-2001), out by the date it was sent. (*A representative from)Vice-President Cheney’s office phoned me shortly after the anthrax incidences and advised me that while every Senator received the enclosed letter, members of Congress (Representatives) did not. I was asked by his office (*representative) if “I knew how Washington worked?” I said no. If I send a letter to a person with the correct address, I expect them to receive it. I told (*the representative of) Vice President Cheney’s office that I verified the addresses before sending the letters, with Representative Benjamin Gilman’s secretary, as she informed me where to find the addresses on the internet. Vice-President Cheney’s office told me that most of the letters sent to the U.S. House of Representatives were being forwarded back to N.Y. Representative Benjamin A. Gilman. Mr. Gilman received about 250 (*authors note: corrected to 434) letters destined for and addressed to members of the House of Representatives. I am asking for any assistance that you can provide to rescind Government sanctioned abortion in the United States. Americans are upset by this abortion “right” and would rather not know the details and horror of abortion. The rescission of abortion is a major necessity to help America achieve the morality and conscience we once had as a Nation. “As we continue to kill our own, our own in turn will be killed” not necessarily physically but perhaps mentally. Please deliver this message, as the well being and continuance of the Nation and World depends on Government sanctioned abortion being rescinded. Yours truly, Barbara Nikonoff During this same month, I mailed all the letters to date to 191 Ambassadors of the United Nations. On my way to the post office to mail a batch of some of these letters to the United Nations and sensing a stressful urgency, I was pulled over by a police officer (which I regarded as a nuisance that 180 I did not need at this time) where he attempted to give me a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt. I refused to accept this ticket and told him to send it to my home. This incident resulted in me being strong armed and brought to a county facility to speak with a psychiatrist. This incident is further explained in another letter written in 2003. It did not seem possible with so much correspondence sent to government and other officials that this imperative issue to eradicate abortion could result in no positive changes. As a matter of fact, abortion was increasing especially in laboratories. I began to contemplate that perhaps people were not receiving the letters sent. The example of the 434 Congressional Representatives who did not receive the letter sent dated September 7, 2001 only fueled this thought. So, at the end of September, I decided to hand carry these letters to other government agencies including The Federal Communications Commission and The Department of Justice. I also delivered the letters to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, The National Right to Life office and once again to The Washington Post. I was also beginning to sense that some people were trying to prevent me from delivering the truth to the American people. I stated to mother that I might not return from this visit as I might be shot by an assassin. She advised me not to go but I insisted on this visit to hand deliver the letters and other information on abortion to the above mentioned groups. Shortly after arriving home, I was horrified to learn that a sniper was murdering people in Washington D.C.. After my failed individual attempt earlier in the year to raise money for an educational national billboard campaign to end abortion in the United States, I decided to attempt to enlist the support of pro-life groups, to raise this money collectively. I thought it would be easy enough for many members of Right to Life and other pro-life groups to sell chocolate bars to earn the money for a national educational campaign to end abortion. A distributor of chocolate bars came to my home in November to discuss this potential fundraiser. Following this visit, I wrote a letter sent to four Right to Life leaders and copied three politicians and the chocolate distributor on this letter. The content of the letter is shown below. The names of some people have been removed from the original letter. “Dear Right to Life Leader: A chocolate distributor for both Hershey Chocolates and Nestle Chocolates stopped by my home for a meeting on 11-8-2002,(* author’s note: The name of the person and telephone number has been omitted) to discuss a possible candy fundraiser for Right to Life Groups to partake in at the national, state, and local levels. The time is now for Right to Life Groups throughout the Nation to organize and move forward with a National Public Service Message Campaign. The statistics on abortion, a phone number to call, and perhaps a graphic display of this horror will convince mostly unaware Americans, to act against this National Tragedy. 181 One idea is to present this message through National Highway Billboards. An East, West, North, South campaign on major National Highways inundated with the above message will be the catalyst to rescind Government sanctioned abortion, once and for all. Several highways that can be suggested are Interstate 95, Routes 80, 5, 40, 10, and 35. About 10 billboards on each highway repeating the message should result in a positive outcome. In this era, most people have a cellular phone available to them as they drive and will make that important phone call. Obviously, this type of Public Awareness Campaign costs money. I spoke with a national outdoor billboard advertising company (author’s note: The name of person, telephone number, and company has been omitted). This person gave me an approximate cost to advertise a message on a billboard for 30 days at the rate of about $5000 per billboard. The cost to advertise is based on the population exposure in the different areas. If we ran the campaign for 3 months, the cost per month would be less. The rate declines according to the length of time that the advertisement is displayed. So, if National Right to Life Organizations could raise $1,000,000 through the sales of chocolate bars, we could accomplish this very important public service message goal that I believe will result in the rescission of abortion not only on a state level, but national level as well. The chocolate distributor has provided me with samples of the fund raising candy. Each confection will cost about 46 cents. The distributor explained that we could possibly receive a further reduced price (probably based on quantity) from the National Account manager at either Corporation. Each confection is suggested to retail at $1.00. We can work together on the best distribution method and the payment terms can be negotiated. Kathryn Beich Chocolate was originally a company from Ohio that produced chocolate bars strictly for fund raisers. They were purchased by Nestle and were recently resold to an investment group. Their sales of chocolate are still limited to fund raising groups. 30 chocolate bars (samples provided), are included in each box (10 caramel, 10 crunch, and 10 almond). A sample of each variety has been provided to you. Nestle Corporation can provide us with the phone number of the recent new owners. Nestle has offered their commercially sold turtle product with a fund raiser label as well at about the same price. Hershey Corporation does not offer a special chocolate confection for fund raisers only. Samples of the various offerings have been included. My suggestion is to sell a chocolate bar that is not offered in the stores. Kathryn Beich, a fundraiser bar only and a quality chocolate, offering 3 varieties, seems most suitable. However, whatever the consensus is, I am sure they are all good products. The goal is to raise enough money to inform the general public of this Great American Tragedy and to enlist the public’s support to eradicate abortion. 182 I was hoping that we could pass out leaflets to Marchers in January requesting information on the organizations interested in participating in this campaign. Members of organizations could fill out forms at the March or send back the name and address at a later date to a designated office to let us know if they are interested in participating in the fundraiser. The person to contact regarding this suggestion is Miss Nellie Gray, the organizer of The Right to Life Marches for the past 30 years, for her opinion or feedback. To reiterate, and based on recent election results, we currently are in a strong position and have the support in Washington to end abortion. We now need the help of the American Public to “drive this message home”. Prayer, determination, and action achieve goals! Yours truly, Barbara Nikonoff There was no response to the above plan to raise money collectively for this suggested public service message campaign to end abortion. Later on the 18th of November, all the letters written to date were mailed together with another letter to all Supreme Court Justices, their Law Clerks, all Senators, the President, the Vice President, and a New York State Congressional Representative. This letter was also shown in the original consequencesofabortion.com. Dear Supreme Court Justice and All Law Clerks, Enclosed is information provided to our Senators and information that was attempted to be provided to our Congressional representatives just prior to the September 11, disaster. Also included are the reports on the endeavors that I have personally undertaken to rescind abortion following the events of 9-11-01 and other relevant facts that are indirectly related to the approval of abortion, by the United States Government. In determining upcoming agenda priorities, the rescission of Roe vs. Wade is of the utmost importance and is vital to the National Security of this Country. Hopefully, after reading the enclosed material, you will be convinced that it is imperative that this “right” be declared murderous and against The Constitution of the United States of America. Our forefathers, in writing The Constitution, intended that all innocent life be revered, held sacred, and be protected by the laws of this Country. A correction of this gross error and severe injustice against humanity by our previous “Supreme” Court Justices, is necessary. The well being of our families, friends, neighbors, and Nation depends on this horrific evil being finally denied, negated, and overturned by the last judges, that are hopefully working for the People of The United States of America. At this point in time, you will 183 decide the ultimate fate of this Nation and will also influence World Policy regarding the heinous “right” to abortion, otherwise known as baby killing. Please, when faced with this decision, make the good choice and abolish the killing of our own young and at the same time, save the people of this Nation from additional mental and physical harm. Yours truly, Barbara Nikonoff At about this time, a gentleman came to my home and introduced himself as an attorney with whose name I was vaguely familiar. He then proceeded to discuss Planned Parenthood and also provided me with Planned Parenthood’s regional offices’ 990 income tax return. After he left my home, I thought the visit to be odd and turned to spouse and asked him for his suggestion on what to do with this completed 990, 2001 Planned Parenthood income tax form. Then I mildly suggested that perhaps I should turn it over to our accountant . Retrospective: This year, I was hurried to acquire as much information on abortion as possible. It was beginning to become known to me that this issue was a major reason for the increasing and evil immoralities within the society. The elimination of a reduced toll system for some people (for example commuters), would eliminate some of the evil and corruption of the highway system. A legitimate government elected by the people in a verifiable voting system (read the Electoral System Commentary) could investigate and prosecute highway authorities charging exorbitant tolls. The outcome of my attempts to raise money for a public service message campaign against abortion, were bizarre. I thought that at some point I would return to reexamine the possible reason(s) for procuring only one sale from the effort to sell religious flags, when more time was available. The implications of my experience regarding this business are great for many people. Is evil determining the livelihoods of the small business owner? Is evil destroying the businesses of people to gain additional wealth for itself? Is evil preventing good business ideas from coming to fruition? Are potential patrons of businesses being prevented by evil from purchasing the products or services of some business establishments? The reader can likely ponder more questions regarding my experience with the religious flag company and the implications of this experience for other people. Once provided with reliable internet access, I became overwhelmed with an incredible amount of information. My days of educational wondering were largely over. I decided to focus on one issue at a time to provide for sanity. Over time and through careful study and the extensive research of individual issues and then eventually combining this knowledge of individual issues, conclusions were derived resulting in the completion of this book. I believe that the Spiritual guidance of Jesus Christ assisted me in at minimum, the organizing and sorting of this information. Regarding statistics, it should also be noted that the immigrant population has soared over the past two decades or so possibly to provide the appearance by evil of a still vibrant and numerous population, economy, and country. If lack of money is an issue to deliver pro-life messages than perhaps 184 campaigns can be organized to raise the needed funds. By 2011, one had arrived at a solution to finding specific Bible scripture regarding various subject areas of concern. This could be accomplished by having a Biblical index shown, listing topics of interest and the page numbers showing where those topics are addressed in The Bible. Historical Accounts 2002: 59 The Open Skies Treaty is signed on January 1 regarding the gathering of information about activities of concern to the military of some nations. The No Child Left, Behind, Act is signed into law in the United States on January 8. About two thousand people are killed in Nigeria during explosions on January 27 at a military installation. The Sierra Leone eleven year civil war ends with approximately fifty thousand people killed on January 18. NASA replaced all of the original instruments in the COSTAR (Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement) system on the Hubble Telescope. Brazil defeats Germany to win the world soccer cup. Remarks: People are ignoring critical issues regarding the rectification of immorality. Children are continually harmed as a result of this attitude. 186 2003 One afternoon, a young woman called at our home to procure signatures for a potential candidate who desired to be elected to a local political position. At that time, I had only glanced through articles on the internet that strongly suggested that the voting system was corrupt. I decided to return to the evidence regarding corruption in voting at a later date as I was immersed in gathering information on the abortion issue and delivering this information to leadership. The woman asked me to sign a petition to endorse this particular candidate for political office. I stated to this person that I had found some information on the internet that strongly suggested that the voting system was corrupt and that I would not endorse this candidate due to this probable fact. The woman stated that many people know the election system is corrupt and told me to sign the petition. A wave of unusual confusion overcame me as I asked the woman to leave and ushered her out of my home. My days of regularly voting on election days were over at this time as well as a past retort to people who did not vote but still complained about political and social issues. This retort was “If one does not vote, one has no right to complain” as this adage was based on a false notion that the voting process and election system was legitimate. Finding out about the corruption in the voting system was devastating for me especially by 2004, when at that time I began to research this issue further. The book “Votescam” however together with other information found on the internet brought me out of my mood of desolation as it was suggested that a sinister, worldwide conspiracy by a relatively few individuals, was well underway to gain complete and total control over vast populations of people (tyranny). I decided to also alert people to this likely fact. In January, I convinced spouse to accompany me to the March for Life in Washington D.C. and to attend the conferences sponsored by the March for Life organization that were scheduled two days prior to the March. Spouse and I drove to Washington D.C., leaving daughter and son in the care of mother and father (due to possible attacks by evil) as this visit required two overnight accommodations at a hotel. At the conferences I was made aware of the severe population decline in the peoples of Europe largely due to abortion. Apparently immigrant groups were increasingly fulfilling the necessities of societal functionality in Europe. I believed that this was also occurring in the United States. At the hotel of the conferences I glanced around the lobby only to view too many young people sitting on the lobby floor who were tattooed, body pierced, and disheveled in appearance and who were supporting an end to abortion in the United States through the attendance of The March. At that time, I thought about what I could do to further assist in ending this Great American tragedy. A speaker at the March for Life Conference was an attorney from the Texas Justice Foundation who stated that this legal group was in the process of litigation to overturn Roe versus Wade. I believed this to be a step in the right direction but realized that the support of many more people was probably necessary to overturn this court case. Several weeks after arriving home from the March in Washington D.C. and on March 24, I wrote and sent the following letter together with some of the previous letters shown in this book, to two attorneys of the Texas Justice Foundation. The names of the attorneys have been removed. The county of my residence has also been removed. 187 Dear (Attorneys): Enclosed is information that you may find, if not valuable, then informative regarding efforts to overturn Roe vs. Wade. My husband and I had the opportunity to hear Mr. (attorney’s name) presentation at the conference sponsored by March for Life this past January. Your organization offers a last hope for the continuance of meaningful life, health, and prosperity for The People of The United States of America. The majority of Americans pray that The Texas Justice Foundation is successful in overturning the murderous legislation decreed by our Supreme Court in 1973. As an individual, I have been frustrated and at times exasperated, in the discussions and endeavors with various right to life groups throughout our Nation. While support to rescind Roe vs. Wade is described as the “Mission” of these organizations, I do not see a Major Public Awareness Effort taking place. A lack of money seems to be the constant excuse. Please contact me regarding any assistance that can be provided in the further dissemination of information or financial concerns that myself or (County) Right to Life can provide, with regard to this vitally important lifesaving litigation. In God We Trust Barbara Nikonoff The Texas Justice Foundation’s response to this letter was the sending of an informational package regarding the Court Case and an informational advertisement designed to gain public support for this endeavor. Discussing this need for more population support regarding the ending of abortion with spouse, we decided to place a full page advertisement that was provided by the Texas Justice Foundation in our local hometown newspaper on May 14. This full page advertisement cost several thousand dollars and the money spent dishearteningly appeared to be in vain by July, as other courts dismissed the case of The Texas Justice Foundation to overturn Roe versus Wade. However an attorney of the Texas Justice Foundation felt confident as was stated to me on the telephone that probably on appeal, the case would be reinstated. In addition to this disappointment, an attorney from the Texas Justice Foundation informed me in a letter dated May 21 that only four friends of the court forms included in the advertisement placed by me, had been returned to The Texas Justice Foundation. However, on the positive side of placing this expensive advertisement, I had faith that infant’s lives were saved in our community as a result of the placing of this public service message advertisement. Within three weeks after returning home from The March for Life and on February 9, I wrote and sent a letter to the President, Vice-President, all Senators, all members of the Supreme Court, some members of The United Nations, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of State. The complete content of this letter is shown below and was included in the original consequencesofabortion.com. The author has interjected current notes. 188 Dear Political Leader: Once again, information is being provided to you with an answer regarding the current situations of alert in our Nation, and similar alert situations in many other Nations throughout this world. (*author’s note: The newly formed United States Department of Homeland Security issued a color coded system for alerting citizens to varying degrees of terrorist threats.) I cannot speak for other Countries. Cultures and priorities certainly vary among Nations however, there is a need to inform the leaders of other Nations, as well as our leaders, of the harm they are indirectly inflicting on their citizens and themselves, through Government sanctioned abortion policies. Enclosed is information provided to all members of the United Nations in September 2002. An additional letter mailed to the United States Supreme Court (including all Justices and Law Clerks), was delivered in November 2002. As you may know, the United States has recently suffered yet another devastation. That devastation was the destruction of the Colombia Space Shuttle. (*author’s note: Odd occurrences and increasingly strange and bizarre behavior of people were being reported through news agencies and through general observations of other people throughout the society. Some oddities have been mentioned in this book.) We have been told that this was due to foam insulation bumping the left wing of the space shuttle at life off. American’s do not believe this explanation and neither should our international neighbors. The United States Government is in the process of trying to present another plausible fabricated story. The answer to this question is “The Power that Is” will make things that are. No Nation with a policy of murder will survive. This murder includes the murder of little unborn Citizens. Messages of warning are given to all. The shuttle disaster was a warning. I attended the March for Life in Washington D.C. on January 22, 2003. Also attended, were the conferences held for two days prior to the March. These conferences were sponsored by March for Life (President Nellie J. Gray). The most powerful presentation was delivered by a theologian who happened to be an audience participant and who was asked during a lunch recess to substitute for a speaker who cancelled at the last minute. His presentation was an exclamation of the fact that our leaders have ceased to work for the “Common Good”. This occurrence has lead to the gradual destruction of the family unit and society as a whole. This destruction has become increasingly accelerated. A solution for a return to normalcy of the human being and society at large (at least in the United States), is to ratify The Human Life Amendment (number 28). (*author’s note: One has concluded that the right to life of all human beings should be written into the primary document of the Constitution as Amendments can and have changed.) Four inclusions to our Constitution are necessary. The following necessary inclusions are listed. 1. 2. 3. 4. The personhood of the child is established to be at conception. The unborn child has the right to life from conception to natural death. The unborn child has full legal protection and rights provided by this Constitution. Upon the date of the ratification of this amendment, the act of abortion shall be prohibited. 189 Although abortion was approved from the “bottom up” (States to Federal Government), there is a need now, to have abortion voided from the “top down”. I think we can all realize that “time is of the essence”. March for Life delivers a gift of red roses each January 22 (the anniversary date of abortion approval (January 22, 1973)) to our President, Vice-President, Senators, and Congressional Representatives. The true meaning of the red rose is one that symbolizes short life and martyrdom. However, the interpretation of red roses to me and to most American’s is a gift of love. Red roses are usually sent to sweethearts. So, I did not participate in the March for Life Red Roses Campaign. This campaign raised money to deliver red roses to political officials on January 22 (the date of the March). Instead, I am forwarding on a Turtle Chocolate Bar and a pin that represents the little feet of United States Citizens slaughtered since the approval of abortion by Government. Please enjoy the chocolate bar and do not “stick your head in a shell”. Our citizens need “Good News” and want an end to the environment of terror and anxiety. Also, with hope a place can be found beside the flag pins displayed on many officials lapels, for these tiny little feet. Once again, these feet represent the feet of precious Americans that have been exterminated and are exterminated daily with the approval of our Government. Yours truly, Barbara Nikonoff Due to the signs erected on the front lawn of our property that were admittedly abhorrently graphic in the depiction of abortion and included abortion statistics and a telephone number to call, neighbors apparently were increasingly complaining to town officials about these signs. On March 27, I decided that an explanation to neighbors within the vicinity of our home was needed so the letter below was delivered to neighbors together with information regarding The Texas Justice Foundations litigation and a newspaper editorial that was well written by a local resident who was confident that Roe versus Wade would be overturned. The local resident’s name has been removed as well as our home address. Dear Neighbor: It has come to light that there are neighbors or is a neighbor, (who) has objected to Town Officials concerning a Public Service Message Awareness Effort displayed outside of my home at (address). I apologize for these signs that neighbors have been subjected to during the past year and a half. At this point in time, it is probably necessary to offer an explanation as to why these signs were erected. The intention of these signs is not to desecrate our neighborhood. I too value a clean, tidy environment and also do not like to be subjected to disturbing messages. However, perhaps after reading the enclosed information, you may understand and agree that there is a greater need to deliver this important message to not only our local citizens, but Nation as well. There is important litigation regarding the Rescission of Roe vs. Wade and the supporting case of Doe vs. Bolton (information from The Texas Justice Foundation and an informational editorial by a local resident 190 is enclosed) that will be brought forth to the Supreme Court, sometime this summer. I have been told that it will be sometime during the month of July. I am asking that neighbors please bear the signs for another year, with the hope that this message will inspire our citizens to telephone Washington D.C. and express their outrage regarding Government approved abortion legislation. If Roe vs. Wade is not overturned by litigation brought forth by The Texas Justice Foundation, I will remove all signs and the flagpole with flags from my property and hope for the best. Yours truly, Barbara Nikonoff On March 15, after reading an article in the New York Times Magazine posted on March 9, that discussed the progression of abortion in the United States and mentioned the Fourth Circuit Court in the article, I decided to write and send the enclosed letter to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal Judges, Law Clerks, Circuit Executive, and Clerk of the Court. Other letters included in this book were forwarded on as well. Written below is the content of this letter included in the original consequencesofabortion.com. The author has added one current note to the original letter. Dear Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal Judges and Law Clerks: After reading an article published in the New York Times Magazine on March 9, 2003, I feel that it is imperative that the enclosed information be provided to you. There have been profound changes that have occurred in our Nation after the approval of Roe vs. Wade in 1973. These changes are not generational changes. Consideration and respect for others, as well as our own sense of dignity have largely been lost in the years following the Federal Government’s approval of abortion. I fear that if our Nation continues to uphold this immoral legislation, within 20 years, we will cease to exist. Communities throughout America seem to have lost a sense of humanity after the approval of Roe vs. Wade, and this loss includes genuine concern for others. In the past, children in our town were regularly outdoors playing with other children in the neighborhood. Over the years and since 1970, there has been a slow but marked and insidious change to this normal environment. Today, rarely are children seen outside playing and conversing with one another. Recreation equipment abounds in our neighborhoods but it has become unusual to view children using this equipment. As a matter of fact, so few people are seen in their yards that the deer, coyotes, and bears have moved into our living area and neighborhoods. Please review the enclosed materials and decide on matters of Court with good and moral conscience to help the United States of America become the Great Nation we once were. We cannot continue to cower down to the microscopic few that are largely without morals, a social conscience, and are 191 completely self serving. They have dictated National Policy for too long to the majority’s detriment. Exceptions to the rule, should not be the basis for Governing America. (*author’s note: Exceptions to the rule and small minorities of people who tout and promote immoral values have been increasingly the basis for changing policy, laws, and legislation in America to likely aid in engaging the masses of people in the same immorality of the few. Therefore, evil doers in positions of authority should be removed.) Yours truly, Barbara Nikonoff Between the years of 2001 to 2003, I regularly attended county legislature meetings especially when Planned Parenthood funding was to be discussed and more than likely apportioned to this agency in the coming fiscal year. Protests against the funding of this agency occurred throughout the year where prolife people were given the opportunity to speak for three minutes to state their case against the funding of taxpayer dollars to be given to this evil agency. During this time frame, I delivered a presentation that is shown below to the county legislature regarding this funding. Several words have been added for clarity shown in parentheses. Some words have been removed to prevent identification of the locality and individuals. “My name is Barbara Nikonoff, and I am here tonight to address the Legislature regarding the approval of funding for Planned Parenthood with taxpayer dollars. The funding of $18,500 was approved at the December third meeting. It is difficult to fathom that the Legislatures (*in the) Democratic Party, a party established to serve in the best interests of the working people, could vote to fund an agency so harmful and destructive to the minor youths and parents of this county. As far as I am concerned, these people are not Democrats. As a matter of fact, through this funding approval they have worked against the Democratic ideals and principles to protect underage children. Even after being provided with information regarding the deceptive and clandestine operations of Planned Parenthood at the November sixth meeting, nine legislatures, all Democrats still apportioned taxpayer funds to this organization that diligently works against American Family Values and the doctrines of all religions. Planned Parenthood has a policy of confidentiality that extends to minor children. They also have become a child referral (*agency) for public middle school and high school nurses, not only in this county, but statewide (*and country wide). Parents are not made aware of their own child’s dangerous behavior. School nurses that are privy to promiscuous or contemplated promiscuous activity (*of children), do not contact parents and neither does Planned Parenthood (*contact parents). So what can result from these deceptions? The answer is dead children. Death sentences through HIV infection can result and parents 192 are never made aware of their child’s harmful and potentially deadly activity by very aware (*and) so called “professional adults”. A school nurse in (the) county who is also the president (of an important nurse’s association), stated in an editorial printed in the (local newspaper) on October 13, that “Planned Parenthood is one way for school nurses to offer assistance to children whose parents have chosen not to educate them.” She also states that an effort is made to have a child get parental support for their actions. Where are the thinking adults in this picture? These people are working against families and unfortunately so are a majority of our elected legislative officials. Please contact your local assemblyman or a New York State Senator regarding this obscenity of legislation to fund Planned Parenthood.” Pro-lifers delivered information to the local legislature regarding a link between the development of breast cancer and prior abortion(s). Research indicated that women who had abortions were more subjected to this devastating disease. I hypothesized that other societal ills were also related to abortion. A chart was presented to the local legislature explaining my theory that breast cancer, rampant drug use, crime and violence, attention deficit disorders, divorce, and other societal ills were related to abortion approval and connected to this government funding of Planned Parenthood, an organization that provides abortions and abortifacient birth control to the public. I also believed that annual mammograms recommended by physicians to begin at age forty contributed to an increase of radiation accumulated over time in this sensitive area of the body, thus perhaps causing cancer. Questions regarding the above statement and hypotheses would likely be: Demographically, which women are following the physician’s advice? Are they largely women who have had abortions? Are women following this advice, agreeing or complacent with evil? Are women following this advice fearful of retribution by evil if they do not agree to annual mammograms? Are women following this advice not following religion as taught in the Bible? These hypotheses however were not stated in my presentation to the county legislature as they were additional complicated thoughts. On May 6, another presentation was delivered to the county legislature. The content of this three minute presentation is shown below. “Good evening, my name is Barbara Nikonoff, and I am here tonight to address the Legislature regarding their approval of the County Taxpayer dollar funding of Planned Parenthood. This organization perverts our young people into engaging in life threatening, dangerous promiscuous behavior. Planned Parenthood has contributed to the HIV infection epidemic and the murder of human life throughout our communities and nation. So tonight, I will correlate two fairy tales that are relevant to this funding that we are all probably familiar with. The first fairy tale is The Pied Piper of Hamelin. As most know, the Pied Piper stole all of the children from a town called Hamelin. For purposes this evening, I have renamed the story The Pied Piper of United States Government and their affiliates. 193 Our legislatures by approving the tax payer funding of Planned Parenthood, have become Pied Pipers. Our children are being stolen away from their families by officials in town government and stolen away by the schools that we all support. Parental knowledge and permission is not needed for any underage child to receive an abortion or birth control drugs from Planned Parenthood. Even our school nurses that are aware of a child’s potentially deadly behavior do not inform the parents of the child. Our children are being corrupted by trusted, outside forces to self destruct. The second fairy tale to be discussed is The Emperor’s New Clothes. In this story, all the adults in town agreed that the Emperor was wearing the most exquisite clothes that anyone had ever seen when in fact, he was wearing nothing. An innocent child pointed out that he was stark naked. Finally, after the child’s recognition, the adults in authority positions were brought to conscience and agreed that they had all accepted a lie. Nine of our legislatures, even after being provided with testimonials from citizens and other verifiable information, still refuse to recognize the heinous truth that Planned Parenthood indoctrinates and decrees (evil) to the underage young people of this community and nation. Other citizens as well recognize the truth but are reluctant to step forward to express dissatisfaction with government policy and the dissatisfaction with the microscopic few that seem to always dictate policy. More people are needed to call themselves to conscience and rise up to protect their children and families (from) the forces that can and will infiltrate and destroy lives given the opportunity. Government approved abortion has influenced our leaders to embrace a terrible disregard for all human life. Fortunately there is hope. The Texas Justice Foundation is currently involved in an extensive effort to overturn the case of Roe versus Wade and the supporting case of Doe versus Bolton. To find out more about this life saving litigation please telephone one of the numbers shown. (*author’s note: The Texas Justice Foundation’s telephone numbers were presented to the audience.) Thank you” An above ground pool was installed on our property in the late 1980’s. The pool’s wall was composed of many interlocking aluminum slats that were designed to last for many years. To save money on our water bill (as the water rate increased after April 30), spouse and I cleaned the pool and refilled the pool with clean water by the end of April. Upon arriving home in the evening after the legislature meeting where I delivered the above public address, I heard a tremendous explosion coming from our outside yard. Concerned, spouse and I investigated the outside perimeter of our property in the dark, only to 194 find that a slat of the wall of this pool had been pushed out from the other aluminum slats causing the pool liner to tear and simultaneously caused a loud, explosion like noise with the subsequent result of the pouring of thousands of gallons of water that rushed out through this small opening in the pool wall. In May, one decided to purchase a dog to provide a playmate and companionship to another dog purchased in November of 2002. The breed of dog decided on was a Rough Collie that after some investigation one was able to purchase from a specialized breeder of these dogs for eight hundred and fifty dollars. The seven week old puppy purchased was lively, disciplined, and of an affectionate disposition who I knew would be compatible with our other young dog. After the purchase was complete, one reviewed with the seller the American Kennel Club (AKC) papers depicting the puppy’s heredity lineage when it was discovered that the puppy had already been assigned a name by the seller. Objecting to this situation, I was informed that this was the procedure and policy concerning this breed of dog and that one could not change the official assigned name. Later and on the drive home, I expressed my aggravation and disbelief over this oppressiveness with spouse stating that a person was not even allowed to select the registered name for a dog purchased by them. At home we reassigned another name to the dog selecting the name of the same breed of dog from a television show of yesteryear named “Lassie”. Still viewing no positive news in the corrections of societal immoralities through the processes of laws and legislation, on May 22, I decided to send the following letter to many former tenants of The World Trade Center and to the Port Authority and Fire Department of New York as these workers were largely involved in administering emergency services after the destruction of the immense, skyscraper buildings. Some editing has occurred from the original website posting. The recipients of this letter also received other letters presented in this book to date and as I recall, some information on abortion. Dear Select Former Tenants of The World Trade Center, The Port Authority of New York, and The Fire Department of New York: After providing information to Political Public Servants and after exploring other political avenues with minimal results, it is probably necessary to provide the former Tenants of The World Trade Center, Emergency Service Workers, and Others involved with the same information that was provided to our Political Representatives. In addition to the enclosed information that is all verifiable, there have been other unusual circumstances that have occurred that you or your organization may want to consider and investigate. As you can see, much correspondence has been sent to Political Representatives just prior to and following the September 11, 2001 catastrophe. This further background report is included as an addendum to the information provided to officials. On the afternoon of September 10, 2002, I was arrested by (the police) for the failure of not having my seatbelt attached. I have always worn my seatbelt in the past although I felt that the shoulder harness was uncomfortable and a distraction to driving. After noticing many vehicles with black glass, I decided 195 that the law was no longer fair and is unreasonable. Even the (police department) vehicles have black glass. But because I own a vehicle with clear glass, there is subjection to unfair treatment of law. Police officers can see inside a car with clear glass versus not being able to see inside a car with black glass. However as you read further, you may understand that the seatbelt law was not the real reason for my arrest. In my experience as a lifelong resident of (the county), New York and a resident of the above address for 20 years, (*authors note: I decided not to discuss the long windedness of the three year corporate transfer to South Florida) never have I seen such meticulous police monitoring of (*a road that is) one block from my home, that transpired on the one year anniversary week of September 11, 2001. My theory for the reason of this harassment is described below. Anti-abortion signs revealing abortion statistics and telephone number to call were erected outside in the front of my home shortly following the September 11, 2001 disaster. The (Town) Code Enforcement Officer stopped at my home and advised me that the Town Code dictates that all signs erected must be erected 20 feet from the property line. However, most sign displayers do not follow this restriction and are not asked to move signs further from the property line to accommodate the Town Code. Some examples of groups and individuals that do not follow Town Code regarding sign display are political candidates and businesses that promote their services and products. But “to keep the peace”, we promptly moved the signs 21 feet off of our property line to adhere to the Town Code regulation regarding sign display. The date of my arrest, September 10, 2002, the officer at the scene tried to provide me with a ticket for this seatbelt infraction. I refused to hand accept the ticket and told him to send it to my home around the corner. He told me to get out of the car and with another police officer called to the scene, pushed me into the outside of a police vehicle, handcuffed me tightly and brought me to (a local) sanatorium. At the sanatorium and after this demeaning treatment by (the police), I was required to interview with a psychiatrist at the facility. After a brief interview, I was told that I was free to leave. A taxi cab was called to bring me back to my home. While waiting for the cab, a neighbor who also is the minister’s wife from (a Christian Church in the county) and who happened to be visiting a sick friend that day, saw me standing outside of the complex waiting for a taxi cab and offered to give me a ride home. After arriving home, I was furious and was in disbelief due to the treatment inflicted on me by local town police officers. I thought about a course of action and decided to telephone The Federal Bureau of Investigation in Manhattan. Prior to phoning the F.B.I., I informed my husband and the carpenters who were working on an addition to my home (of) the recent events that had just occurred to me. No one could believe this horrible treatment. I telephoned the F.B.I. from my son’s room as it was the quietest room in my home because of the construction taking place at the time. My dog was in the room with me because he became agitated by the construction noise. While reporting this police incident to the F.B.I., my dog in seemingly perfect health (*died). My husband and son buried the dog in the backyard that evening. 196 The next day, September 11, 2002 at 9:00am, I delivered all information provided to you up to 9-11-02, to the captain of the (town) police department. After thinking the seatbelt incident over carefully, I decided to hand deliver the enclosed information to various official offices in Washington D.C., as I felt that local officials were trying to frighten me into remaining silent. On September 12, 2002 I provided the psychiatrist who interviewed me at the sanatorium with the same information provided to you. A few days after the delivery of the information, there was a sewer explosion at the sanatorium and a 40 year old employee of the complex died in the explosion. Even though I was upset over these occurrences, I still decided to go forward with the planned trip to Washington D.C.. I suggested to mother that I may not return home alive because someone may shoot me due to this honest revelation. She of course advised me not to go, but I insisted that I must proceed because there was the need to hand deliver this important message to others not previously informed. I was hoping that others might help, where previous people contacted failed to do so. So on this trip 9-24-02 to 9-26-02, I hand carried the information provided to you up to that date to the National Right to Life, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, The Federal Communications Commission, and The United States Department of Justice (*authors note: Scottish bagpipe music was being played by a musician outside and in front of this building). Shortly after I arrived home on September 26, 2002 the sniper began killing people in the Washington D.C. area. If necessary, further information can be provided for your review and consideration regarding other unusual circumstances that have occurred just prior to September 11, 2001 and events that have occurred after this catastrophe. Lessons from high school state that “we do not kill the messenger because we do not like the message” or perhaps many people do like the message and would like to help change society for the good of all people. The Texas Justice Foundation is asking for your support to help overturn Roe vs. Wade and to have abortion be declared against the Constitution of The United States of America. Government approved abortion legislation has resulted in the killing of our own young and the physical and mental killing of existing lives as well. Financial assistance is needed to proceed with this litigation in a thorough manner where “no stone is left uncovered”. Friends of the Court Documents and Affidavits are needed. A Public Service Message Awareness Effort is needed. Informing the public can be accomplished through volunteer work, newspaper editorials and paid advertising. 197 We are all held responsible for the murderous abortion legislation approved by Government. We pay for abortions annually (through) our tax dollars sent to Government. Twenty two million dollars in the year 2000 alone was disbursed by the State of New York for Medicaid sponsored abortions. Other tax dollars are indirectly used to fund abortion through Planned Parenthood funding on both a State and Federal level. Please read the enclosed editorials on how Planned Parenthood has influenced our underage children in publically supported schools. Once again, all of these issues presented are either directly or indirectly related to abortion approval by Government. Society has paid and will continue to pay while Government sponsored abortion continues to exist. The Texas Justice Foundation can help. Please contact this organization to find out how you can support either individually or collectively The Texas Justice Foundation in their efforts to overturn Roe vs. Wade and end abortion in the United States of America. Yours truly, Barbara Nikonoff By middle June, I was still haunted with the fact that 434 Congressional representatives had not received the letter sent dated September 7, 2001. Since that time, I had acquired more information regarding the devastating consequences of abortion and believed it to be imperative that all leadership be informed of the facts and circumstances that I had uncovered. So, this month I compiled packets of information containing all the letters written since September 11, 2001, editorials written by others concerning abortion, information on The Texas Justice Foundations efforts, a chart depicting some of the societal ills due to abortion, information on my own personal efforts to raise money to end this tragedy, and a prolife periodical magazine distributed that discussed the harms of abortion. Each informational packet was placed in 435 manila clasp envelopes and loaded into luggage to be personally delivered to the Congressional Representatives working in the Capital building in Washington D.C.. Upon arriving in Washington D.C. on June 22 and at the Capital building I was informed by a tattooed security guard that no mail would be accepted into this facility. I asked how mail is delivered to the Congressional Representatives and was told that the mail, due to anthrax contamination fears was scanned at another location unbeknownst to him. Finally, and after more inquiries another guard gave me the approximate address of a Pitney Bowes facility for scanning the mail prior to delivering it to Congressional Representatives. Somehow I found the facility and brought in the luggage containing all of these packets. At that point, they informed me that I would have to pay postage and that checks and credit cards were not accepted. Exasperated, an employee of the organization stated that I could visit a business nearby and purchase a money order based on funds in my checking account and with a credit card number for further payment security. So I visited this business and was relieved after this considerable trip to Washington D.C., to obtain a money order for a considerable amount of postage due. After a few hours of waiting for the processing of this mail and the acquiring of the money order, I was told that the packets of information would be accepted and delivered to each Congressional 198 Representative. Also at about this time, I visited the New York State Capital in Albany to deliver the same packet to the governor, the United States Marshals, and the New York State Right to Life office. While in the building of the governor, I was directed upstairs to the lobby of the governor’s office by a security guard where I was told that I could leave the packet with a secretary. The secretary informed me that procedure had changed due to the anthrax contaminations and that the mail would be received at another building in the complex. I finally found the mail facility after descending down a freight elevator to an underground parking garage where there was a small, obscure office to accept mail in this darkened garage. Satisfied that leadership had received all the information that I believed to be important, I spent the next several months scanning the news for positive developments to eradicate abortion. Much to my chagrin, nothing of a significant positive development occurred regarding the abolition of abortion. At this time, I believed that the public needed to be informed about this devastating issue that had permeated the society and was the cause of so many societal problems and ills. In October, I consulted with a website company, managed by young adults, to place all letters and other information on the worldwide internet. I was disinclined to select repulsive photographs of aborted infants for the introductory page of the website. I thought that perhaps these photographs should be placed at the end of the website as I did not want to sicken the readers of this site. On the other hand, I thought that people should become more aware of what abortion does, in addition to ending a human life, to many babies. So, three photographs of abortions were shown on the introductory page. These photographs are not included in this book. After much “trial and tribulation”, the website consequencesofabortion.com was finally established by middle November. After believing that I had exhausted all avenues with various organizations of leadership, I reluctantly decided to inform the general public of this serious problem with the hope of gaining the people’s support in the quest to eradicate abortion. I had previously assumed that the general population of people, were not responsible for laws and policy implemented by those in authority. I later realized that all adult people share in varying degrees in the responsibility to return the society back to a moral foundation. A first priority was to inform people about basic moral law through providing them with The Ten Commandments as I increasingly recognized that many people were not following these Laws. The avoidance of Capital Sins and Abominations are to a slightly lesser degree foundational, but of extreme importance because if people are engaged in these severe sins, they are more than likely to eventually violate some or all of The Ten Commandments. So, in the initial offering of the website, in addition to the letters posted, the foundational Biblical Laws, advisement of Capital Sins, and the referencing for the reader’s research of Abominations, was presented. This website posting in November 2003, is shown below under a heading of Reminder. I have changed the word You as originally posted to Thou as explained in the Introduction. 199 Reminder These Ten Laws of God are listed in The Bible, explained in the Quran, alluded to in The Books of Buddhism, and strongly suggested for a harmonious and peaceful life in The Hindu Books. I. I the Lord, am thy God…you shall not have other gods besides me. II. Thou shall not make unto thee any image of idolatry, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. III. Thou shall not take the name of Lord your God in vain. IV. Remember to keep Holy the Sabbath Day. V. Honor your father and mother. VI. Thou shall not kill. VII. Thou shall not commit adultery. VIII. Thou shall not steal. IX. Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. X. Thou shall not covet your neighbor’s house. Bearing false witness against your neighbor can be defined as concocting purposeful, malicious lies against others for destructive purposes. Coveting your neighbor’s house includes harming others by enlisting technology to enter another’s private domain. An intellectual, forthright, devoted, and trustworthy Society can review these Laws of God and understand their meaning. Capital Sins These sins committed without recognition and repentance will lead to the breaking of God’s Laws. Example Anger Destructive criticism Envy Resentment of other’s blessings Greed Demanding more than a comfortable life Gluttony Consuming more than needed Lust Promiscuity and sex without love Pride Destructive competitiveness Sloth Purposeful sloppiness in endeavors 200 Commentary 1. The Creator and The Creator alone is solely responsible for determining the genetic codes and traits of all living creatures. 2. The Creator and The Creator alone determines when a Life begins and when a Life ends. 3. The creator and The Creator alone decides on the laws of science that can be relied upon as fact. Abortion, Cloning, and ( Fetal) Stem Cell Research have resulted in an unreliability of all scientific, rules, laws, and facts.” To return to this book, a question that arose through my inquiry of several Bibles is the fact that probably a further more detailed definition of Commandment II is necessary as various Bibles state this Commandment differently. So, Commandment II likely needs to be clarified for the masses of people who may reference several different Bibles. Commandment IV concerning keeping Holy the Sabbath Day and designating this Day as a day of rest, states throughout the Bible that this day is Saturday according to when the world population of people begin their week (on Sunday). Obviously it is important to ascertain the correct day as Sabbath because God has stated and designated the last day of the week, as the Sabbath Day. The statement of the selection of this day as a day of rest should probably be further analyzed. Perhaps if Christians began their week on a Monday then the Sabbath Day is correct as Sunday. However, it might be to everyone’s benefit to have the same Sabbath Day for all, especially in this modern day world of interrelated world business and commerce. It is also more than likely that specifics regarding all the Commandments should be more clearly explained to the people especially and due to the highly technical and complicated aspects of society today. A Diagram is shown at the end of this book to suggest a possible hierarchy of “Responsibility for Interpreting The Ten Commandments for Today’s Society”. To follow religious practices when one knowingly or unknowingly violates The Ten Commandments which are the basic and foundational Laws of religion is ludicrous. Practices are important to bring one closer to God as one acquires a greater understanding of God. So in other words, the hierarchy would be to first abide by The Ten Commandments followed by adhering to other lesser laws to include avoiding Capital Sins and Abominations followed by the engaging in the required practices of the religion. I was seeking a history of abortion to answer the questions on how the history of abortion related to religious Law as Stated in Commandment VI and also how societies were affected by abortion policies in the past. I recognized that in almost every Book of the Bible, abortion was directly or indirectly cited through meticulous interpretation, as the killing of a human being and was a primary cause for the destruction of a society. I could not at that time find any significant information on the internet regarding a secular history of abortion. Whether this was due to my ineptness of searching or the unavailability of information is unknown to me. An erroneous account of St. Augustine of Hippo was provided on the website based on information given to me by a tour guide in Colombia where we visited an Augustinian Monastery in the year 2001 (the reader can reference this year for further information). This false information posted on the website has been removed from this book. To find the date of the 201 beginning of government approved abortion in the modern day world as this could not be found by me on the internet, I telephoned a pro-life organization where I was told that abortion was first approved in the Soviet Union in the year 1920. As an aside, the second country in the world to approve abortion discovered through as one recalls the same source, was Sweden in 1938. The first proliferation of pornography in the United States was introduced from Sweden sometime in the early 1960’s (about the same time the abortifacient birth control pill was introduced). Whether or not this is related to Sweden approving abortion as a “freer” socialist country and the development of the pornography industry is a valid question. Communist countries only allow citizens to violate a “few” of The Commandments and other lesser Laws to maintain a semblance of sanity in the society until greater purposes are realized. Other less oppressive occult controlled societies permit greater immoralities to destroy the population of people until a plan is realized. The information as shown on the website of the initial offering is below. “In 1920, Russia approved abortion for the people of that country. The scourge began. Their legislation affected the United States social and economic well being in the 1920’s. Other nations during that time period were equally affected. However, still other nations followed Russia and approved legalized abortion for their citizens. Abortion approval by government has created a worldwide moral decay. Family and community values have deteriorated and this situation has become increasingly accelerated.” “Wars fought prior to World War II (*author’s note: possibly corrected to World War I, based on country) and prior to abortion approval were fought in vastly different ways. Before World War II a greater degree of compassion, concern, and respect was shown towards others, friend or foe. Prior to World War II, civilian populations during war time were not military targets. During World War II, people were exterminated based on predetermined political, religious, and racial and cultural designations. Huge masses of men, women, and children were murdered with no human compassion shown.” “During the past 36 years of abortion approval by government, the United States has suffered. Please investigate and draw your own conclusions as to how abortion has affected your life and the lives of others you know and love. “The Power that Is” will make things that are and that is based on our own decisions. We cannot continue to kill our own innocent children and expect a peaceful and continuing world.” “After examining all of the evidence (*author note: available to me at that time), it is my opinion that malicious people have gained an evil power, through government approved abortion policies.” I then related the above information to religion using information on the “Vision at Fatima” in Portugal that was discovered by me in the book “Fatima and the Great Conspiracy”. This information is presented as was shown in the original presentation of consequencesofabortion.com “The following events are a short summation of the first chapter of a book entitled Fatima and The Great Conspiracy written by Deirdre Manifold. The first chapter discusses the Vision witnessed by three 202 children from Portugal and others in the year 1917. The remainder of the book discusses the rise of Communism and the role that religion plays in identifying the sources and policies of evil, that if left unchecked, will result in Worldwide annihilation.” 1. “May 13, 1917: A vision appeared to three children from Fatima, Portugal. The Vision asked the children to return to the same location for 6 months on the 13th of each month.” 2. “June 13, 1917: The Vision provided the children with information regarding their lives.” 3. “July 13, 1917: The Vision provided the children with a prediction of a horrific war due to the evil planning by the impending new government of Russia. Government approved abortion was part of the Communist plan. The Vision stated to the children that evil planning by the Russian government and subsequent policies enacted would spread like a plague throughout the world.” 4. “August 13, 1917: The children were kidnapped by a government official and therefore could not be present for the Vision. However, eighteen thousand people assembled at the meeting area and witnessed a miracle. The children were released from captivity on August 19, 1917. 5. “September 13, 1917: The Vision promised a miracle on October 13, 1917.” 6. “October 13, 1917: A miracle of the sun was witnessed by seventy thousand people. Some of the people attending were disbelieving journalists who were hoping to discredit these Visions. They could not deny that what they saw was fact and completely inexplicable.” A rudimentary, handmade chart was also presented in the initial offering of the website. The chart featured abortion as the central problem with lines drawn from the center to identify some of the promoters of abortion. The chart also identified some of the damaging results of abortion on the society. This chart has been decidedly removed from the book due to the possible confusing of the reader because of the incompleteness of the chart. After establishing the website, my task became much more simplified in the delivery of information. Small cards were printed containing the website address and included the statement that September 11, 2001 and Abortion are Related. These cards were mailed to many, many organizations and schools throughout the United States and many other countries around the world. On the early morning of December 5, I passed out cards to employees of the United Nations as they entered the facility for work. After approximately one hour of distributing these cards, the last card distributed on this day was to a belligerent woman who demanded to know my group affiliation. The reply was that I was a member of a right to life group but was representing myself as an individual. The woman held the card given to her up to my face and tore the card in half and abruptly walked on. Distraught with this nastiness, one ceased distributing cards to employees of this organization and left the area. As far as I was concerned, this year ended on positive notes regarding this issue and I sensed somewhat of a relief because others were being informed of potentially lifesaving information, and were additionally being informed of one of the major reasons for the ever increasing societal immoralities. People were also informed of the basic reasons for the moral, social, political, economic, and religious decay of today’s societies through for one example, the violations of The Ten Commandents. 203 Retrospective: Some people appear to be assuming an unnatural, evil influence over other people. The point is to no longer work for the overturning of Roe Versus Wade as this is likely to be used as a rue to eliminate religious and moral people who are and have been working to end abortion. As most can realize, the overturning of Roe Versus Wade and the accompanying case of Doe versus Bolton will likely have to be approved by each individual State taking many years for this positive legislation to happen in all fifty States under the current corrupt election system. In the meantime, the too few pro-lifers and outspoken religious people who are working to end abortion will most likely be eliminated from this issue due to an extended time factor thus eventually rendering the abolition of Roe versus Wade and Doe vs. Bolton void and null as some corruptly elected leaders in some States will continually dismiss all attempts to eradicate abortion. Read the Commentary on the Electoral System for further information. Evil, after this “setback” will continue on its way to the New World Order plan to murder up to 75% of the world’s population and place the remaining 20%(about 5% will be leaders) in a worse than slavery situation (due to extremes of coveting in a 24 hours of surveillance and monitoring of slavery individuals combined with the mind controlling of slaves). Therefore, the right to life of all human beings, beginning at conception, should be written into the primary document of the country. In the case of the United States, this document is The Constitution. An Amendment to The Constitution is no longer acceptable, as Amendments can and have been changed in the United States (note the Amendments on prohibition in the United States, 1919 and 1933 for examples). Let it also be known that there is no “fight” to end abortion and there are no winners. What moral and religious people seek are resolutions and moral solutions to ever increasing and widespread societal problems. When all of the evidence is presented, both concrete and circumstantial, the facts speak for themselves. Those people who still demand that abortion remain legal and sanctioned by government are either evil or insane. For some people in authority, it apparently does not matter how much evidence is presented regarding the detrimental outcomes inflicted on other people through evil policies and legislation. Funding and support of evil agencies and practices is continually approved by those in authority positions. One way to “love your enemies” as taught by Jesus Christ may be not to specifically identify them. I increasingly realized that to arrive at the truth, a competent education and the integration of history, religion, and science were necessary. Historical Accounts 2003: 60 The Iraq war begins on March 19 resulting in the deaths of one million five hundred thousand people by 2011. The Human Genome Project is completed on April 14 where human genes are identified to almost 100% accuracy. An earthquake in Algeria on May 21 kills approximately two thousand two hundred people. Dewey, a cloned deer was born in the United States on March 23. Prometea, a cloned horse was born in Italy on May 28. 204 An unprecedented heat wave kills more than seventy thousand people in Europe from June to August. An earthquake in Iran on December 26 kills and estimated twenty six thousand people. NASA’s space shuttle Columbia explodes upon entering the atmosphere for a scheduled landing in Texas. All seven astronauts on board were killed. Remarks: Many people die in wars and natural disasters. The implications of genetic identification and how this relates to Biblical teachings are made known to me in 2011. Read the Commentary on Genetic Identification regarding the possible consequences of engaging in the use of this technology. 2004 Recognizing that there were no real positive developments to remove the evil Planned Parenthood influences from the secular public schools, I investigated hiring an attorney to possibly litigate against this organization which I believed to be in clear violation of government laws regarding minor (underage) children. The following is the letter sent to an attorney together with other information, concerning this matter. Identifying names and locations have been removed. “Enclosed is information regarding the September 11, 2001 catastrophe, the influence of Planned Parenthood in (said) county, and common school practices and agendas (occurring) within our (school) districts. Demographically, people residing in this community have achieved a middle to upper middle class lifestyle. Most people residing in (said) county have attained a (school) degree beyond a high school diploma. Certainly, the community is representative of (where) the people of America aspire to be, at least economically. So, it is difficult to fathom the “mindset” of so called experts working within our school districts and government.” “Please review the editorial written by (a public school nurse) and printed in the (local newspaper) on October 13, 2002.” “(The school nurse), is the president (of an important nurses association), and a nurse at (said high school). After reading her editorial, my understanding is that (said school nurse) is recommending the services of Planned Parenthood to our minor children and is likely advising school nurses throughout the State to do the same. It also appears that this advice is given to our underage children without parental knowledge. If you agree with my interpretation of her essay, then our children are in grave danger.” “If this perverted advice is given to children by revered adults in our community and State, I can guarantee that this sinister promotion of immorality and destruction to children is occurring to school children nationwide. Parents, who love their children above all else are not made aware of their child’s potential deadly behavior by trusted “professionals” who are aware.” 205 Please review the enclosed materials and advise if litigation against the (said school district) and the State of New York is warranted and viable. If you (believe) that there is justification for a lawsuit, please advise of the legal fees. Yours truly, BarbaraNikonoff Within ten days or so after sending the letter and package of information, I contacted the attorney to perhaps schedule a visit to his office. At that time I was informed by him that one “cannot sue the Federal Government”. I contemplated the implications of this statement and realized that all of the children would either be dead or destroyed by this agency and/or this agency’s “mindset” that was apparently adopted by many evil doers within the society to gain wealth, power, and control over the people. I refused to accept this verdict. (For additional information on how Planned Parenthood promotes their immoral agendas to minor children, a Planned Parenthood website designed for the youth can be found at this time on teenwire.com.) A return to the following of The Ten Commandments, avoidance of Capital Sins, and Abominations together with earnest prayer to God could remove evil doers from their positions of authority, thus returning the society to a moral foundation. In January, spouse was required to participate in a conference sponsored by members of the industry in which he was employed. Upon returning home and within two weeks, a traffic ticket violation was delivered to our address. The ticket showed a photograph of the license plate attached to spouses’ vehicle and a charge for a considerable sum for driving through a red stop light. Spouse remarked that the light was green as he was driving through the intersection and then suddenly within fractions of a second changed to red as he drove under the traffic light. Spouse did not recall viewing the amber light of caution that allows one the extra time to pass through an intersection. Other people have also complained of similar experiences where apparently the amber light of caution has been removed from some traffic signal lights. A few months after beginning the website consequencesofabortion.com and in February, spouse was dismissed from his job apparently due to a redundancy of a position based on a corporate merger. By August however, he had procured another job in the industry of his experience. One viewed at about this time, an interesting documentary on television that discussed the implementation, process, and construction of large bicycle roadways in the South American city of Bogota, Colombia. Discussing this documentary with spouse, one thought that this idea could benefit many people residing in congested cities in the United States such as New York City for one example. The documentary viewed depicted large bicycle lanes established, which were the size of a two lane roadway that were separated with large concrete barriers from the motor vehicle roadway shown adjacent to the bicycle roadway. Bicycle racks were installed throughout the city for the residents use to secure their privately and individually owned bicycle. Racks were also freely installed in areas containing apartment buildings and other multi-family dwellings. Bogota city officials involved in establishing this 206 program repeatedly remarked about the success of this implemented idea for transporting people in a safe way from one area of the city to another. In 2013, one read in “The Wall Street Journal’s” May 28 edition about a new bicycle “ride and share” program established by New York City officials touted to be the first transportation innovation in this city in 75 years. This program offers designated bicycles to rent that are provided for public use by private investors in the program. Narrow and possibly dangerous bicycle lanes have been established on motorized vehicle roadways throughout New York City for this “innovative” transportation initiative. The cost to use a “city” bicycle, if an annual member, is $95 a year. This fee allows the bicyclist the use of a city bicycle for forty five minute intervals at a time. Others using the bicycles pay a $9.95 daily fee or a $25 weekly fee. One does not know if a fine is levied against annual members if the bicycle is not returned to a station within forty five minutes. As one can clearly note in comparing the two bicycle programs, the New York City program is profit oriented, elicits safety concerns, and is designed to confuse to a degree those who wish to participate in this “ride and share” bicycle program. On the other hand, Bogota, Colombia’s bicycle program was designed to help and assist the city’s residents as their program was financed through business and public taxes costing bicycle riders no additional money. Also, the Bogota program encouraged the private and individual ownership of a bicycle likely leading to less “wear and tear” on the apparatus resulting in less product waste. In March, spouse, daughter, son, and I vacationed at a renowned seaside resort. As this time of year was considered to be “off season”, spouse and I received a good discounted hotel rate. Upon arrival at the hotel and at check in, we were given our room assignments. Daughter and son were assigned to an ocean front room while spouse and I were assigned to a parking lot view room. Needless to say, I was aggravated at the hotel’s “trouble making” attempts to cause consternation within our family. At that point spouse and I decided that most all of our meals would be purchased outside of the premises of the hotel. We also vowed never to return to this resort. After vacation, I began to search for other historical information on the internet that could be possibly related to government approved abortion. The following is an excerpt of some very basic information and odd coincidences that I had uncovered regarding abortion approval and historical events. I immediately added this information to the website to hopefully pique the interest of historians into examining more closely the issue of abortion and its interrelatedness with history, thus relieving me of some of the responsibility of this massive project. Shown below are excerpts of a rudimentary “Analysis” added to the website on April 27. The author has made a few current changes shown with parentheses. Analysis Points to consider: The first state to enact abortion legislation (approve abortion) was the state of Colorado in 1967 under the Lyndon B. Johnson presidential administration. Abortion was approved for the entire Country, under the presidential administration of Richard M. Nixon. The date of National abortion approval, January 22, 1973 former President Lyndon B. Johnson died of a massive coronary. 207 The war in Vietnam dramatically escalated under the Lyndon B. Johnson presidential administration. Most Americans followed the war closely through information provided by the media. Anti-war protests and riots were also of deep concern to Americans. In other words, United States citizens were completely absorbed with the Vietnam War, other events related to the war in Vietnam, and domestic events of (much) strife and turmoil (occurring at that time). As the American people were being diverted with a barrage of Vietnam War news and other significant movements and events occurring at that time, abortion legislation was approved by our political leaders with relative ease and little complaint from the public. In January of 1973, then President Richard M. Nixon announced an accord with North Vietnam. This (was) the exact month and five days after abortion approval for all the people of The United States of America. With (complete national) abortion approval, (greater) power and control over the population was obtained by those in positions of authority.” (*authors note: Abortion was approved for the United States on January 22, 1973. A peace accord to end the Vietnam War was signed in Paris on January 27, 1973) Please investigate all of the spy equipment products available for purchase to the general public. Various eavesdropping equipment is freely sold on the internet. The least expensive eavesdropping device is the SS Sound Receiver, selling for $39. This equipment is sold openly to further control the population. A jamming device for self protection is not offered to the general public. (Therefore), the people of the United States of America should conduct themselves in the utmost professional manner, as anything you say or do inside the “privacy” of your home can and will be used against you. On May 23, after recognizing that there were no results in my attempt to engage others in historical research and its connection with abortion, I decided to increase the scope of the results of abortion approval in the United States. With web placement difficulties, several ideas were presented to the public through the website consequencesofabortion.com as shown below in a heading labeled as “Discussion”. “Discussion: Abortionists at Work” Some examples: It has been brought to my attention that our voting system has been corrupted. As most people know, our votes are cast as numbers (supposedly for reasons of confidentiality). These numbers are being manipulated with to “elect” predetermined candidates to public office. A solution to this problem is to provide the voter’s name (author’s note: and identification number), with how the person voted. This information should be open to public review. Accountability insures honesty. To lodge a formal complaint, contact the Federal Election Commission at 202-566-3100. A national plan to effectively educate our children is necessary. Most of us have recognized a dramatic increase in special education classes and confusing class curriculums. The result of 30 years of largely chaotic indoctrination has resulted in many people lacking the basic skills necessary to function as 208 responsible citizens. A basic educational plan to recover the higher educational standards our nation was once known for is shown below. School uniforms: A national school uniform policy for grades K-12 is necessary. Various articles of clothing worn to school creates distractions and irrelevant and destructive competition among our children. National Textbooks: a universal (national) textbook policy with textbooks carefully chosen for accurate and factual content information will alleviate the discrepancies in the quality of education that children receive based on school district. All children in our nation will have similar knowledge and skills. Workbooks and other materials that follow the textbook curriculum are also essential. Discipline: An integral component of a student discipline plan is to insist that abortion be declared against The Constitution of The United States of America (see the information provided in the website). Many teachers have complained about ever increasing behavioral and emotional problems of students. These problems can be directly correlated and attributed to abortion approval beginning in 1967 by government. To comment, please contact The Federal Department of Education at 800-872-5327. A vast majority of our trusted physicians are offering advice and remedies to patients that defy the realm of human common sense. Our doctors are over prescribing drugs to the detriment of people’s health. Advice and remedies based on a holistic approach to medicine are rarely offered and recommended. Some advice given to people by doctors is downright dangerous. Some women have undergone life threatening surgeries to remove their healthy breasts because someone in their family had breast cancer. Others have had their sweat glands removed by doctors because the patients felt that they were perspiring excessively. Some physicians have informed our young people that headsets are not dangerous, nor responsible for hearing loss. And the list goes on, on, and on with this type of irresponsible and dangerous advice given by our physicians. To express your opinion, contact The American Medical Association at 312-464-5000. The Federal Communications Commission has permitted harmful and mentally damaging programming to be aired to our population. I think we can all agree that a large portion of children’s programming is dangerous to the competent mental development of our youth. Many other shows are bizarre, incomprehensible, and insane in content. Networks, both radio and television have not been held accountable by our “policing agency”, The Federal Communications Commission. To voice your concerns contact The Federal Communications Commission at 888-225-5322. The Federal Department of Energy has been severely remiss in exploring the capabilities of solar energy technologies (search solar power and solar energy). Fossil fuels and nuclear power are still being touted by The Federal Department of Energy as the most effective energy sources. It is my belief that currently 95% of our nation’s energy needs could be served through a solar energy program. Solar energy is clean, completely safe, and inexpensive. As most know, a global warming trend has caused increasing environmental concerns and this problem is directly related to the emissions created from the burning 209 of fossil fuels. Also, many employment opportunities would be made available during this 50 years plus conversion process. To demand that this technology be given serious consideration, contact The Federal Department of Energy at 202-586-1924. (*author’s note: this section has been edited from the original posting) There is a report written in 1992 and currently shown on the internet that many Americans may find relevant to the abortion issue and the malicious plans of government entitled “Operation Vampire Killer 2000. (*author’s note: The second half of the report suggests that Americans should arm themselves with guns. This may not be the best advice based on the immoral and insane progression of the society.) Son, who was graduating from the high school of my former attendance, was in the process of selecting a college or university for enrollment in September. A high school guidance counselor recommended a school that did not offer courses in his desired field of future employment. Other frivolous attributes of this school were being promoted to him. It took much convincing on my part to dissuade son from attending this senseless college based on his career choice. I was annoyed at this interference and bad advice given by the high school guidance counselor. The university son eventually attended, spouse and I visited with son, to attend an orientation. The orientation for son’s desired course of study was satisfactory but the living quarters shown for the occupation of four students were completely substandard. I wondered how four adults could possibly store their belongings, sleep, shower, dress, and eat in such a tiny area and still maintain their sanity. I remarked to spouse that son would need a larger living area. At this time, I also became aware of financial aid for students. Some students I discovered were obtaining government grants for free college or university attendance while their parents built large additions onto their homes or purchased new and expensive automobiles. I decried this system for its inequity and corruption believing that all students and/or their families should pay for school tuition. Low interest loans are a good option for those students who are lacking the funds necessary for school attendance. No free government money (taxpayer funds) should be disbursed for an individual’s college or university costs. Son graduated from high school together with three hundred and eighty two classmates. By late spring, I realized that a more intensive promotion by me regarding the website was necessary as no positive changes were observed concerning the abolition of abortion. As I had already spent considerable personal and family money on this endeavor, I thought about how I could deliver the website address to many people at a low cost. One day while driving, I noticed a bumper sticker on another driver’s car. At this time I thought that this method of advertising the website would be a relatively inexpensive way to promote the website consequencesofabortion.com to others. So, by summer bumper stickers were printed with the website address and the statement that September 11, 2001 and Abortion are Related. Other bumper stickers were purchased that stated Abortion= one dead and one wounded. I applied a few of these bumper stickers to the rear and front fenders of my car and drove around the local area in an attempt to deliver this important message to the communities of the county of my residence. One day while driving through a neighborhood of newly built mega-mansions, I 210 noticed two trucks about to pull out of a very long driveway. Off the foot of the driveway was a narrow, circular turn around. Logistically, to allow one truck to pull out, I believed it necessary to pull into the long driveway as the first truck was in the process of pulling out of the driveway. This resulted in my vehicle facing the second truck just several feet onto the driveway. After pulling out of the driveway, the driver of the first vehicle disembarked from the truck and told me he was telephoning the police as I had entered his property. I told him to go right ahead as this was completely an absurd reaction based on the circumstances. I was surprised when the police actually arrived at this scene. The police officer stated that I was trespassing. I retorted that there was a logistic reason for pulling into his driveway and that some people pull several feet into my driveway to turn around and that I would never telephone the police concerning this frivolous matter. The police officer then stated that the road was a private road. In the past in our community, if a road was private this was posted at the entrance of the road. In this case there was no sign posted informing other residents and snow plows of this fact. A short time after this incident, I sensed harassment as many cars began to pull into my driveway and turn around over a short period of time. I however, did not telephone the police. I purchased a list from a pro-life group that contained the names of corporations, businesses, and other organizations that supported through their donations the murderous and destructive agency of Planned Parenthood. I was astounded at the many familiar and trusted names on this list. I boycotted, to the best of my ability the organizations shown on the list through the removal of patronization of these concerns. Also contacted in 2004, was the pro-life group who released the list where I inquired of possible private labeling contracts of those listed, as some of the organizations shown may have been involved in this kind of business. The pro-life group could not give me any information on the private labeling contracts of the businesses shown on the Planned Parenthood donation list. Later, and by 2011 another list was published free of charge, containing the names of corporations and pharmaceutical vaccines containing the fetal stem cells of aborted human beings. Some food companies also were using derivatives of these cells for flavor enhancers. This tremendously evil occult practice is designed to engage masses of people in the horrific immorality and crime of cannibalism so that evil doers can gain more power over the population and wealth for themselves. Comparing the list of 2004 with the list of 2011, I realized that a few major food corporations owned hundreds if not thousands of brand names. I stated to spouse that to reject this insane and despicable immorality, one may not be able to eat. An interim solution to this problem may be to consume only fresh and natural (organic) products. However, most of us do not know if the businesses engaged in adding aborted human beings cells to food products, are also involved in the farming, meatpacking, and seafood industries for some examples. I believe the responsibility for the deplorable addition of aborted human beings stem cells in food products, vaccines, and body creams, rests with the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and possibly with the law enforcement agencies of government. Through the media, one was informed of an August march across a bridge in a city to support abortion policies in the United States. Believing that this group of people failed to recognize the intense destructiveness of abortion on the society, I decided to notify the marchers of their grave mistake in supporting abortion, through the delivery by car of information on bumper stickers containing the 211 website address “consequencesofabortion.com” and the statement that” Abortion and September 11, 2001 are Related”. After arriving at the destination one noted thousands and thousands of mostly women marching across a large pedestrian walkway located centrally on the bridge. Upon entering the ramp to the bridge, one obtained a closer look at the participants. Most of the marchers were young tattooed and body pierced women, some displayed an unnatural haircut and hair color and many appeared disheveled. These women were led in groups by older women between the ages of approximately fifty to seventy years of age who on the other hand appeared conventional. Puzzled and alarmed at this scene, one wondered what was really transpiring here. Experiencing a sense of urgency, one drove across the bridge several times to deliver the important message of consequencesofabortion.com. By late summer, short overnight and two night trips were made to Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, upstate New York, Ohio, and Rhode Island. Through increased investigation on the internet, news stories, insane and crazy stories related to me by acquaintances, and Bible reading, I recognized an impending emergency situation in the country and decided to alert the national population to the probable need of a complete governmental change accomplished through a non violent removal of current government officials and the implementation of an interim government who would promptly be required to legitimize the election system through voter identification and verification methods. The following are excerpts of this “Recommendation” added to the website consequencesofabortion.com on October 14. Based on the information provided in this website, it is essential that a complete change in government occur. The Operation Vampire Killer 2000 report referenced in the website proves together with the researching of other unrelated sources of like information investigated and divulged on the internet that the objective of our government is to kill as many Americans as possible. Additional investigations can be conducted from information presented in Operation Killer 2000 that further proves the malicious plans and power obtained over the people by the government through abortion agendas. To repeat, the government has obtained an evil power over the population due to government approved abortion policies. Our government has completely ceased to work for the Common Good of the people of this Nation. Therefore, a revolution is necessary to remove these dishonorable and untrustworthy people from political office. One suggestion is to move as many unarmed people to Washington D.C.. About twenty million people are estimated to logistically arrive in Washington D.C. over a five day period because of traffic considerations. The plan is to physically remove all Senators, Congressmen, the Vice-President, and the President from office in a non-violent way, and place on an interim basis, trustworthy leaders in their place until legitimate elections can be established. One way to verify the legitimacy of the election process is to provide the voter’s name, the voter’s social security number, and how the vote was cast. It is necessary that this information be open to public review and scrutiny to verify that the votes were counted as cast. 212 A life is defined as a human being capable of making his or her own decisions. Animals are servants of human beings and servants of each other and are never to be abused. However animals are incapable of making their own decisions and are completely directed by God or Satan based on the circumstances. After thorough investigation, I have concluded that a revolution is vitally necessary to ensure the continuance of this Nation and our Nation’s people. Following the above addition, a more extensive road trip to promote the website through advertisement on bumper stickers was accomplished to notify inhabitants of States to the South of New York. The States visited on this trip included Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. Upon returning from this trip and viewing no positive news regarding the abolition of abortion or the legitimizing of the electoral system, I decided to cross the country to promote the website. The tires on the car were checked by a local service station where it was determined that the tires were still in good condition for this approximate 6000 mile road trip. At some point along the way to Los Angeles and about mid way through the country, I decided to apply additional bumper stickers which included the website address to the doors and back of the car. Unless I stayed overnight at a one story motel where rooms were easily accessible from the parking lot, I found that I would be assigned to one of the most inconvenient rooms of a motel complex which required me to lug a heavy suitcase up many stairs. I believed this situation to be an attack by evil as most motels were not crowded at this time of year. If I asked for a ground floor room, I was told that none were available. On this road trip, as well as previous road trips I noted some very dangerous road construction zones. One zone in particular contained probably hundreds of saw horses with electronic flashing lights attached that were placed within a few feet of each other causing me to experience on one early morning, a bout of driver disorientation and dizziness. This experience was somewhat alleviated when I decided to try to ignore the saw horses and focus on the lined roadway. Another roadside hazard of relatively recent development was the installation of strobe lights on police vehicles. During the course of my cross country trip, there was an accident on a curved highway above the road of my travel. Two police cars were at the evening scene of the accident, flashing the police vehicles roof top strobe lights that momentarily blinded me (until I passed the scene) causing concern that I might have an accident too. At a gasoline stop in Utah, a station attendant without solicitation stated that I needed new tires on my car. Concerned about this observation as the tires were checked prior to my departure from New York, I self examined the tires and determined that they still had plenty of tread. Every morning on this trip before setting out on the highway, I stopped to refuel at a combination gasoline and food service shop. At that time, I would purchase my morning coffee and hoped to procure a buttered roll. During all of my road trips, not one convenience store offered a buttered roll for sale. All of these shops sold only doughnuts or Danishes for a quick breakfast snack. To compare and in the past, buttered rolls or bagels were always available as a purchase option in addition to doughnuts and Danishes in these kinds of establishments. One also noted that ranchers and burly appearing men in the western area of The United States were waiting on a long line at a convenience store to fill their coffee cups not with regular coffee (as there was no line for this coffee), but with cappuccino coffee which is a sweet frothy coffee that is usually a favorite of women. The States visited on this eleven day cross country trip included 213 Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. One also drove through the grounds of the prestigious military academy near to ones’ home to alert cadets of the website address with the hope of assistance to correct societal immoralities, from this group. After this extensive road trip, it seemed to me that a considerable number of people encountered along the way appeared to be ill. Concerned about this observation, I added the following passages on November 12 to the “Recommendation” of October 14 which is edited from the version shown in the original addition to consequencesofabortion.com. The United States of America in the year 1917 helped to finance the Communist Revolution and thus, was indirectly involved in introducing abortion to the Russian people. This was the beginning of a larger plan by world leadership to dominate the people of the world. The consistent breaking of God’s Law “Thou Shall not Kill”, grants an evil power and control over the people to leadership. Abortion agendas have become a bounty of power for the “merchants of death”. These merchants of death have deceived the people with the question as to when life begins. The discourse and confusion that this question has raised, has allowed for the massive murder of human life. Whether a soldier is murdered on the battlefield or a human life is murdered in the womb or in a laboratory that is considered by God, to be an equal breaking of God’s Law “Thou Shall not Kill”. Therefore, the correct answer to the question when does human life begin is human life begins at the moment of conception. The plan of world government is to eliminate half of the world population and place the remaining half of the population in a situation that can only be described as worse than slavery. It is the responsibility of the people to remove these “merchants of death” from power positions in a non-violent way and place in political office leaders that are truly working for the best interests of the people. To prevent the rise of tremendously evil men to power positions, it is necessary that government abortion policies be abolished on a worldwide level. A revised and simplified chart was also added to the website on this date that featured abortion as the central problem causing many societal woes. The woes included on the chart were: increased crime, illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, and mental imbalances. Other results of abortion policies were depicted and shown as increases in suicides, accidents, homosexuality, invasions of personal privacy through technology, contaminated vaccines, and power over the population (tyranny). This rudimentary, handmade chart is not included in this book. This year ended on an aggravating, disheartening, and incredulous note as no positive moral changes could be ascertained by me in the society of The United States of America. Retrospective: Family members should become more aware of purposeful and destructively evil interference by others launched against families by outsiders. Most of the time, older family members 214 are working for the good and best interests of the family group. All members of a family group should cooperate and abide by the older patriarchs and matriarchs of the family as it is more than likely that these people have greater wisdom due to a larger number of life’s experiences, as compared to the younger members of a family group. In other words, “Honor your mother and father” that also likely includes in this Commandment of God, grandmothers and grandfathers. Crowding people into a small area is used by evil doers to further agendas of immorality to include abortion. I noticed vast tracks of uninhabited land during my drive throughout the United States where it seemed at times that I could drive for hours without viewing a home. Over the past one hundred years, people have been increasingly directed and crowded into metropolitan areas perhaps to aggravate secular people thus leading to further public support for abortion agendas. Proof of this mechanism used by evil was stated to students in the college classrooms of the late 1960’s and 1970’s. Some college professors informed students that given the current population increase each person would have by a near future date, the equivalent room of one eight and a half inch by eleven inch piece of paper for living space. Obviously, this instruction contributed to the ever expanding evil within the society. I visited thirty nine States to deliver and inform people of the consequences of abortion and the suggested need for moral change within the society. Historical Accounts 2004: 61 South Korean scientists report the cloning of thirty human being embryos on February 13. Except for voting rights, the Vatican becomes a full member of The United Nations on July 1. A hurricane in Haiti kills over three thousand people on September 13. The world’s highest bridge opens in France on December 14. A horrific earthquake and tsunami devastates Southeast Asia killing more than two hundred and fifty thousand people on December 26. The tallest building in the world opens on December 31 in Taiwan. NASA’s Scramjet achieves a new world speed record which was recorded at nearly 7000 miles per hour. Remarks: Scientific ethics by 2004 appears to be a non issue. One of the worst natural disasters documented occurs in Asia. Hours prior to the tsunami striking, some people reported that animals inhabiting the area were seen flocking to the hills and mountains. 2005 Combining a statement made by an author in an important, out of print book written in 1970 with Bible reading and subsequent interpretation, I realized that God, the benevolent Creator would never allow other evil human beings to invade and infiltrate the personal privacy of moral people to include family homes, automobiles, and other places where people congregate for meetings, discussions, and other 215 individual personal matters. The reason for this gross immorality of privacy invasions became clear as I examined the abortion issue. Later, it was recognized that the violations of most or all of The Ten Commandments by many people has led to the inevitability of violations and abuses against all individuals to include for one example invasions of an individual’s privacy, by strangers. Still not recognizing the complete magnitude of this problem but realizing that the immorality of abortion was connected to invasions of privacy, I added the following, but perhaps incomplete “Explanation”, to consequencesofabortion.com on January 26. Two recommended websites have been removed from this explanation as shown in the original website, but are included in an investigation section added in 2006. World government has been aware for many years, that Satan provides for an enslaving of the population through government approved death agendas. Prior to abortion approval by the government of The United States of America, any person eavesdropping on another through electronic means was promptly killed by God. Zbigniew Brezhinsky, National Security Advisor to former President Jimmy Carter and advisor to four other presidents stated in his book “Between Two Ages” (published in 1970), that “Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up to date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. (*author’s note: This is circumstantial evidence regarding the corrupt practices of privacy invasions. The government was waiting for complete national abortion approval to potentially invade all American homes with impunity.) These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.” To reiterate, this satanic evil of surveillance and eavesdropping was granted through government approved abortion policies. The government of the United States of America approved abortion between the years (*author’s note: corrected to 1960) 1967-1973, to move forward with their agenda to enslave and slaughter the people of the United States of America. As abortion was beginning to be approved for the people, by world government, Winston Churchill, the former Prime Minister of England stated to the London press in 1922 that a “band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their head and have become the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.” Russia’s Communist government approved abortion for the Russian people in 1920. For further information reference the Operation Vampire Killer 2000 report. With abortion approval came intensive government surveillance and monitoring of the Russian people. On March 23, a New World Order membership list was cited on the original website of consequencesofabortion.com. The 1999 list was placed on the internet by a Denver, Colorado spiritual group that I thought to be interesting (this list has apparently been removed from the internet at this time). The list cited members of the Tri-lateral Commission, the Bilderberg group, and the Council for Foreign Relations. When I removed the duplication of names the number of people I counted belonging to these three groups, totaled 666 members. For those people who believe the “mark of the beast to be 666” as stated in the Bible’s Book of Revelations in 13:18 as follows: “Here is wisdom: Let him who has understanding compute the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man and its number is six hundred and sixty six.” 216 I believed this find to be significant. Below is this addition with minor editing and an author’s note, which was added to the original website in the basic section titled “Analysis” presented on April 27, 2004. There is a New World Order (NWO) Membership List that can be retrieved through (a) search engine that many people may find to be interesting, telling, and important. (author’s note: Steps to arrive at the numerical figure 666 were shown to the reader.) A. B. C. D. E. Review the names on this list. Remove the redundancies (duplication of names). Caution: Some have used first name and middle initial in some places and used first initial and middle name in other places, with the last name. Attending a Bilderberg meeting does not necessarily make that person a Bilderberg member. One last name is not shown (so) therefore that name was not counted. After removing the repetition of some names, the total number equals 666 new world order members. Double check the figure for yourself. Read The Book of Revelations in The Bible, and draw your own conclusions. I recognized that although many people desired to change immoral situations, people continued to participate and engage in activities and certain procedures and situations that allowed evil to continue unchallenged. In other words, an increasing number of people were becoming complacent or stated that they were agreeing with evil (possibly to “keep the peace” for one example or perhaps people were being threatened or mind controlled). The result of these attitudes or situations is devastating to society. View the diagrams presented in 2006 concerning this topic. To provide advice concerning potential immoral situations, the following addition titled “Consideration” was added to consequencesofabortion.com on January 15. This has been edited from the original presentation. 1. Avoid admittances to hospitals that encourage a “culture of death” philosophy. For example, some hospitals permit abortions and euthanasia to be committed on hospital premises. All lives are placed in jeopardy in these “hospitals of death”. 2. Turn off the television as most programming is intended to cause psychological damage to the viewing audience. 3. Decline the “right on red” option when operating a motor vehicle. This suggestion was created to cause increased vehicular accidents. Also, some “turning lanes”, especially those that share a turning lane with opposing traffic have caused “head on” collisions and should be avoided. 4. Shun movies, museums, sporting events, shopping malls, street fairs, gambling casinos, pornography, Broadway shows, concerts, picnics, parties, (and other events) that serve to distract and divert (people) from the abortion issue (and other societal immoralities) thus causing additional mental damage. 5. Do not vote on any election days. This includes all local, state, and federal elections. The numbers are being manipulated with to serve the “Communists” death agendas. 217 6. If family and friends feel comfortable discussing the information presented in this website, the information provided in “Fatima and the Great Conspiracy”, and the information supplied in the Operation Vampire Killer 2000 report, it will be therapeutic to those concerned, as recognizing problems is the first step in changing situations. (*authors’ note: On April 5, Considerations 7 and 8 were added.) 7. Reject assistance from fertility clinics if desiring to conceive a child. Some clinics are delivering excess sperm and eggs to fetal stem cell research laboratories for experimentation purposes. For further explanation read “Beyond Abortion: A Chronicle of Fetal Experimentation”, by Suzanne M. Rini. Also (search) “World Stem Cell Map” and “Brave New Babies: Stem Cell Research”. 8. Consider abstaining from all sexual activity as the entire adult population of this country and other countries in “abortion world” are being forced into a life of prostitution, pimping, pornography, and worse. (*authors’ note: On November 21 Consideration 9 was added) 9. Investigate companies where investments have been made through stock purchases including mutual funds, 401K and pension retirement savings plans. Even some innocuous seeming corporations have invested profits in fetal stem cell abortion laboratories. Examine the company’s 10K disclosure statement for corporate profit investments. This statement is sometimes included in the annual report. If not included, the report is available on request. Consider divesting from stocks and securities held in corporations that contribute to human death agendas. (*authors’ note: On December 26 Consideration 10 was added) 10. Most of the people living in this nation can discern between right and wrong and good and bad. It is the responsibility of the individual and their family group to reject persuasions of decadence and messages of encouragement to engage in immoral behavior provided by the surrounding environment. By agreeing with agendas that we know are wrong and bad for ourselves and our families, we permit the government of the New World Order to achieve its’ goal of mass murder. By the third week of April, one had become increasingly annoyed with the police department’s lack of action concerning the increasing immoralities occurring within the community of one’s residence to include problems occurring in the middle school and high schools especially with regard to rampant student drug abuse. In addition, one was aggravated with the police due to perceived personal attacks launched against oneself by this department of law enforcement. So, one afternoon I decided to tailgate a police car resulting in a well deserved ticket for following too closely. It is most appropriate at this time to discuss common dental practices and the influence of dentists in my life over the course of fifty years or so. Beginning at about the age of five years old, mother annually scheduled me for dental visits. I can recall that during the early years of my dental experiences that there was usually a large crowd of people waiting to see this professional. In later childhood, more dentists moved into the area of my residence and so appointment times were usually on schedule due to an apparent decline of patients per dentist because the number of dentists increased. Today, in a county of approximately three hundred and ten thousand people, I have counted six pages of dentists 218 listed in an eight and one half by eleven inch telephone book. Each page contains four rows of approximately forty dentists per row. Large advertisements have been excluded from the page count and only single lines containing the names, addresses and telephone numbers have been included. Whether a perceived over abundance of dentists is significant to current prevalent absurd and insane dental practices is unknown to me. Perhaps there is another reason for many dentists, at least in this area of my residence. Beginning as a young child, x rays were always part of the initial dental examination. In the early years, these x rays were taken without chest protection. In later years a lead apron was placed over the chest area for protection from radiation. Usually after the initial examination, mother was informed that I had several cavities that needed to be attended to. As a young girl and upon arriving home, I would look in the mirror to find these cavities. Usually I could only view one or two brown spots on the teeth in my mouth. I would then complain to mother that I could only see one or two possible cavities where the dentist had stated that there were several. Mother would explain that the x rays are finding cavities that I cannot see with the naked eye. Later, and as a teenager I would be told on occasion that I had two, three, or four cavities in one tooth. I found this very hard to believe but the repair work was accomplished. Sometimes after leaving the dentist’s office, I felt extremely disoriented and confused and recovery from this experience seemed to take several days or weeks before I hopefully regained my full focus and intellect. I also gradually began to realize that the biannual cleaning of teeth may have actually resulted in the removal of important tooth enamel due to the use of a grinding machine and another sharp instrument thus perhaps resulting in a greater number of cavities. By the age of nineteen, most of my back molars were completely covered with silver colored fillings. At this age, I began to suffer from headaches that apparently were due to three impacted wisdom teeth which were removed by an oral surgeon. Also at about this age, I had some root canal accomplished on a few teeth. The dentist I attended recommended that these “dead” teeth be capped. I postponed these capping procedures until I was in my middle thirties. After moving to Florida in 1995, I sought out a dentist through an apparent prestigious dental network organization. The dentist I selected was within close proximity to our home. During an initial visit, I was aghast when I viewed the x ray machine. This machine resembled a deep sea diving helmet that was completely placed over one’s head. Needless to say, I experienced trepidation with this new machine. After the technician took the x rays, I heard loud exclamations in Spanish emanating from the x ray analysis room. Inquiring as to what was transpiring, the technician informed me that the x rays would have to be retaken as nothing could be discerned. I exclaimed that I had received enough radiation for one day and excused myself from this office, never to return. Later, and while still living in Florida, I made an appointment with another dentist who I was initially very satisfied with. The dentist capped one “dead” tooth in my mouth by first filing down the tooth and then crafting a temporary cap while impressions made were sent elsewhere for the sculpting of a permanent cap that would fit precisely with my other teeth. This cap was installed in my mouth approximately two weeks later. After about a year however, I noticed a general deterioration of the office and noted some unsanitary conditions so I ceased to attend this dentist. Asking for a dentist recommendation from an acquaintance, I scheduled an appointment with the recommended dentist. 219 During the examination, the dentist and his assistant were watching a television talk show. I ceased to attend this dentist as well. At this point, I thought there was a problem with dentists in this area of Florida. After arriving home in New York, I attended a few other dentists where I noted other unprofessional behaviors and practices. For examples, one dentist tied my tongue with a string with a later explanation that this procedure was a test for cancer. Another dentist answered what seemed to be every telephone call while in the middle of dental procedures even when a receptionist and secretary were employed at the dentist’s office. Still another dentist stated to me that a cavity I detected through a mirror view was merely a discoloration of a tooth. Another dentist confirmed to me that this “discoloration” was a massive cavity that had to be attended to immediately. Finally, and after the above confirmation, I believed that I had found a knowledgeable and professional dentist who was a little short tempered but at least appeared sane. After attending this dentist for more than a year and in 2005, I decided to cap my two front teeth as they were pitted and slightly chipped. Initially, an anesthetic (probably novocaine) was administered to me before the front teeth were filed down for the supporting stems of the caps. The dentist then formed two temporary caps from an impression set in dental cement which was placed over the filed teeth. I was then scheduled to return in two weeks to have impressions made for permanent caps that would be manufactured, as I was told, in California. Another dentist also informed me at an earlier date that permanent caps he installed were also manufactured in California, as the price was charged was less. I thought this to be odd. Upon returning two weeks later and sitting in the dental chair, I noted much surgical equipment on the trays next to the dental chair. I thought this to be unusual as impressions for caps involve merely placing one’s teeth in a contoured mold which is filled with softened dental cement. When the cement dries, it is forwarded on to a specialized business that sculptures the permanent cap to precisely fit over the stem and to comply with the other teeth in the individual’s mouth. The dentist then proceeded to insert a needle behind my upper lip and administered some drug where I began to experience difficulty in breathing. The dentist then stated that he was “wiring up my teeth”. I then sensed that I was beginning to lose consciousness. At about this time two teenage girls walked into the dentist’s examination room and asked to use the lavatory and asked for directions to the lavatory located in his office. At about that time I summoned all the energy I could and praying to God, I stood up from the dental chair and dashed out of this office. Terrified, I somehow drove home. Upset and at home, the dentist’s assistant telephoned to reschedule another appointment. I stated to her that I would not be returning to this office. At this time, and by the first week of May 2005, I believed my life to be in danger and therefore decided not to leave the premises of our home and property. To the date of April 2013, I left my home by automobile on only five occasions, two of these occasions were in March 2010 to visit another dentist where I had to have a tooth extracted that was causing a painful periodic flaring of my cheek due to an infection. The dentist attended, referred me on to another dentist and oral surgeon to have this back molar pulled. Spouse accompanied me into the examination and procedural rooms as a patient advocate during these visits. It occurred to me at about this time in 2005 that I had never read or heard about malpractice lawsuits lodged against dentists. The people may desire to ponder the reasons for this anomaly. 220 By this year, it became clear to one that some people are permitted freedom of speech as guaranteed in the United States Constitution but others are persecuted in many ways and/or perhaps murdered when they exercise their right to freedom of speech. It is also important to note that the type of freedom of speech widely permitted in this nation and in media over the course of forty years or so has been largely immoral. One desired at this time to perhaps have the website www.consequencesofabortion.com translated into several foreign languages to aid other non-English speaking people with the understanding of the vital need to return to the adherence of The Ten Commandments and other morality expected of people by God. So in June, one began corresponding through email with a translation business in the United Kingdom that was located near London. Shortly after informing the representatives of the translation business about the above website to be translated into several foreign languages, subway bombs were detonated by deranged individuals resulting in the deaths of fifty two people and the injuries of more than seven hundred people. Further information on these bombings can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_july_2005_London_bombings. Immediately following the subway bombings, the translation business one was corresponding with ceased communicating with me regarding translation services and costs but did send irrelevant emails. So, one decided to abandon this translation project due to perceived threats launched by evil doers against the society. Later one was pacified with the knowledge that foreign language readers could obtain a poor translation of www.consequencesofabortion.com through the internet at http://translate.google.com/ . During these past few years and at this time, one experienced an unusual wave of appliances that were breaking and ceased to function. For examples, an oven and range, two clothes washing machines and a dryer, refrigerator, freezer, barbeque grill, and two dishwashers had to be replaced within a short period of time. Some of these appliances were less than five years old. As odd as this conclusion may seem to some people, one believed this phenomena to be further financial attacks against our family by evil doers. One day after spouse arrived home from work and at dinner, I remarked to spouse that a window cleaner I was using was actually making the windows dirtier by causing a streaking of the glass with oil like smears. A day later and while at work, a manager of the firm of spouse’s employment remarked to spouse that a window cleaner he was using was actually making the windows dirtier by causing a streaking of the glass with oil like smears. Spouse relayed this story to me at dinner time the following day. We glanced at each other with disgust. By August and after securing an important business contract, spouse was dismissed from this job for reasons unknown to him. This began two and one half years of financial hardship for our family. Just before spouse acquired another job in January 2008, spouse, daughter, son, granddaughter, and I were prepared to permanently leave the United States for a country in South America. During this extended period of unemployment, no charity such as food stamps was applied for as accepting charity from evil sources, subjects those who are accepting the charity, to be influenced by evil. 221 In November, a family member underwent rehabilitative surgery. Unable to visit this family member at the hospital, I worried at home about this individual’s well being. In the afternoon following the surgery, a frantic telephone call was received by another family member. This family member stated that following the surgery, the physician prescribed morphine via an intravenous system to be taken by the patient, when experiencing post operative pain. The family member and patient overdosed on this substance requiring an emergency visit to the cardiac care unit in the hospital where thankfully the family member recovered. I was upset and in disbelief of this apparent and blatant malpractice. At about this time, I received several telephone calls from a financial institution where the representative advised me that daughter and son were entitled to have free jurisdiction over their financial accounts. I stated to the representative that I would not be disbursing the accounts to daughter and son until they reached the age of twenty five. In subsequent telephone calls, I was threatened by the representative that I was in violation of government law. This remark by the financial representative caused considerable consternation between me and daughter and son. Later, I was attacked by evil forces for refusing to turn over these accounts to our children. Therefore, sensing considerable coercion, the accounts were turned over to our children where I hoped that they would responsibly maintain their wealth for a contribution towards the purchase of their future homes. By the end of this year, in addition to much cleaning and organizing of our home, I became involved in craft projects including the painting of shapes and abstract artwork on canvas. Retrospective: It appears as though some people are being brain damaged and possibly murdered by trusted remedial specialists. In today’s highly technological oriented society, it is difficult to determine by moral and religious people whether people are being targeted for invasions of privacy and harassment by Satan, or by actual eavesdropping (for one example) through technology implemented inside or outside of private domains by evil doers. Many “adult” children squander parental savings for them due to immaturity at the ages of eighteen to twenty one years of age and squander these savings due to the interference of immoral “outsiders” interfering in family business. Read the Commentary in Just Thoughts about this topic for a possible solution to this problem. Historical Accounts 2005: 62 Pope John Paul II dies on April 2. Pope Benedict XVI succeeds him on April 19. A hurricane on April 29 results in more than one thousand eight hundred deaths in the United States. The largest United Nations World Summit is held in New York on September 14. An earthquake on October 8 in Pakistan kills more than eighty thousand people. Scientists state on December 12 that they have created mice with human brain cells. Suicide bombings are prevalent throughout the world in the years 2002-2008. 222 NASA deliberately strikes the comet Tempel 1 with a component of a deep impact probe to study the materials emitted from the comet and the crater resulting from the impact. Remarks: A horrific earthquake in Kashmir and the surrounding area results in the deaths of multitudes of people and the disappearances of entire towns. A new priority for scientists appears to be to increase the intelligence of some animals. 2006 Beginning on January 6, I continued to add some advice, information, and ideas to “Consideration” as a title in the original website in 2005, to the established website begun in 2003. Below are shown these additions to the original website consequencesofabortion.com. 11. For perhaps some peace of mind concerning required dental or medical intervention an organization of professionals who support life principals can be found on the internet. The association of participating dentists and physicians deplore the destruction of human life whether the murder is (committed) through surgical, drug induced, or laboratory means. This medical association is also against euthanasia, assisted suicide, and the killing of the human person by other methods. Information on this association including a nationwide listing of participating dentists and physicians can be obtained by logging onto cmda.org. (*authors’ note: In retrospect, this organization contains too few remedial members and the medical and dental referral system likely voids any benefits or peace of mind this organization provides to patients.) (* On February 20, the following was added to Consideration.) 12. Research blackbox voting, corruption in the voting system, and vote fraud. Also read “Votescam, The Stealing of America” a book that can be purchased or read in its’ entirety on the internet. Diligent investigation will reveal that a foolproof and verifiable voting system is necessary. The following solution is offered: Votes registered by voting machines could be directly posted onto the internet showing the following information. 1. the voter’s name 2. the voter’s identification number 3. the individual voter’s vote(s). This tabulation method ensures accuracy as the individual and others can self check the vote. Protecting the confidentiality of the voter’s vote, lends itself to the following question. Are the people really concerned (about) keeping their vote “confidential” when all personal lives have been stolen and in many cases destroyed partly due to a significant number of people attaining political office illegitimately? (*On August 2, the following was added to Consideration.) 13. If seeking an obstetrician or gynecologist for required care, contemplate telephoning the selected physician’s or midwife’s office prior to scheduling the visit. Ask if he or she provides abortion services or gives abortion referrals in addition to the ordinary gynecological and/or obstetrical practices. For obvious personal safety reasons and for the safety concerns of a conceived infant if carrying a child, ponder selecting a physician who does not provide abortion services nor gives abortion referrals. On March 5, I added a short commentary to the title of “Explanation” shown in the original website and added on January 26, 2005. Below is shown this edited commentary. 223 World government is currently in the process of (public relation campaigns) to approve abortion for the people of South and Central America, African countries, and the Middle East. The Iranian government recently approved abortion for the people of Iran in July of 2004. One way to force through abortion policies is to maintain severe poverty situations for a majority (of people in a country that has not approved abortion.) For example, on a recent visit to Panama (a country that has not approved abortion), I noticed many people living in horrible squalor conditions in the city of Colon. One mile (from the downtown area) were many vacant and abandoned quality apartment buildings that were rendered unoccupied when the United States of America’s government relinquished its’ authority over the Panama Canal on December 31, 1999 to the government of Panama. It is my opinion, that the people have not been relocated to an improved living area because abortion continues to remain illegal in Panama. In the early months of this year, I decided to provide the people with some Biblical references regarding the grave sin of abortion. The following March 13 addition to consequencesofabortion.com contains this information. Some editing and identified additions to the original presentation have changed this website addition from the original offering. Many of the more recent editions of Bibles, erroneously use the word pregnant to describe a woman carrying a human life. Older editions of Bibles use the words “woman with child”, to describe the earliest stages of human development. To illustrate (and) referencing four Bibles including The Family Rosary Commemorative edition of The Catholic Bible copyright 1950, The New American Bible 1992-1993 edition, The Holy Bible King James Version copyright 1977 and The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures revised in 1984, the 1950 and 1977 Bibles state throughout the text (when referencing pregnancy) that a woman is” with child”. The more recently published Bibles 1992-1993 and 1984 editions state that a woman is pregnant. The word pregnant dehumanizes human life. This perversion of vocabulary has equated a human life with that of an animal servant. The definition of pregnant shown in Webster’s Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 1971 states the meaning of pregnant as; 1a: containing unborn young within the body: Gravid b: capable of producing 2: abounding in fancy, wit, or resourcefulness: inventive 3: rich in significance or implication: meaningful 4: containing the germ or shape of future events 5: exhibiting fertility: Teeming. “A woman with child” obviously ascertains that the woman is carrying a human life. Pregnant on the other hand has five distinctly different meanings. Definition one states containing “unborn young within the body”. The body, could be that of an insect, fish, animal, or human life. Recognize that human beings are unique lives created in the image of God, who are capable of making their own decisions and have been endowed by The Creator with a moral sense of duty and justice. The Ten Laws of God provide humanity with the definition of morality. Other creatures are servants with no moral understanding. Animals have instinct and instinct is directed by God (*author’s note: or Satan). 224 The Ten Commandments are the Laws of God. Breaking these Laws results in severe punishments inflicted on the individual and/or society as a whole. Should a government establish laws that supersede The Ten Laws of God all of the people living in that society are punished through tyranny for one example. Abortion is exemplary of human government legislating laws permitting or in some cases mandating infanticide (which) are in direct defiance to The Laws of God. Throughout the seventy-three Books of The Bible (*author’s note: some Bibles have sixty six Books), abortion and the slaughter of other innocents is completely addressed in both a straightforward and ambiguous way. Societies that have wantonly murdered the innocent together with the guilty suffered their own complete demise. The Book of Exodus describes the Pharaoh’s and the Egyptian government’s fear of a remarkably fertile group of people, the Israelites who resided in their community. (*Perhaps) the government was fearful of being displaced politically so they ordered that all male infants born to the Israelites be put to death. Corrupt government fears dissent among a vast population and so tries to reduce the population as well as gain control over the population through evil policies. In recent times this has been accomplished largely through abortion (murder) and through the enlistment of eavesdropping and surveillance equipment (coveting) that has been used against the people. Be reminded that evil abortion policies permitted this type of coveting. Contemplate also the six day journey of the human being through the fallopian tube and the seventh day attachment to the wall of the womb, with six days of toil and the seventh day of rest on the Sabbath. An analogy can be drawn to some birth control drugs that in essence cause abortion by prohibiting the human person’s attachment to the wall of the womb on the seventh day. Peace of mind escapes the people while these drugs are approved for use by government. Divine Knowledge is Imparted to People Genesis: 1:27 God created man in his image; in the Divine image He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis: 2:7 The Lord God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living human being. Genesis: 2: 21-22 So the Lord God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was asleep, He took out one of his ribs and closed up the place with flesh. The Lord God then built up into a woman the rib that He had taken from the man. Genesis: 1:27 explains that human beings are unique beings created by God. Genesis: 2:7 teaches that man was granted with a life, when God made him aware of God’s existence. Rudimentary moral Laws of 225 good and bad, right and wrong were bestowed to man by God and these Laws were expected be followed. Genesis: 2 21-22 explains that God imparted woman with Divine knowledge as well. A story of two human beings, Adam and Eve is presented in The Bible. The name Adam is a connotation for the word “man” in Hebrew. After God imparted Adam and Eve with rules to follow, Adam and Eve decide to defy God and break His Law. The punishment delivered by God for breaking His Law was a complicated life filled with hardship. Adam and Eve repented for their transgressions and thus were permitted by God to maintain their superior intelligence over the beasts of the earth. Descendants of Adam and Eve progressed insightfully to become agrarian farmers and foragers of metal tools thereby advancing human civilization.” The Bible Condemns Abortion As stated previously The Bible addresses the issue of abortion straightforwardly and ambiguously. Examples of the sanctity and personhood of the human being from the moment of conception are provided from select Books of The Bible. With further independent research many more examples can be found. It is clear that abortion is considered to be murder by God. The Book of Psalms is a collection of Hebrew songs that contains Scripture of The Lord. The beginnings of human life, with a definitive personhood beginning at conception, are discussed. Psalms: 22: 10-11 You have been my guide since I was first formed, my security at my mother’s breast. To You I was committed at birth from my mother’s womb. You are my God. This passage explains that God lives within us from the moment of conception and provides care and nourishment to us through our mother. Psalms: 139: 13-16: Discusses the individuality of the human life beginning at conception. Truly You have formed my innermost being; You knit me in my mother’s womb I give thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your Works. My soul also You knew full well; nor was my frame unknown to You when I was made in secret, when I was fashioned in the depths of the earth. Your eyes have seen my actions; in Your book they are all written; My days were limited before one of them existed. Psalms 139:13 discusses (*the soul), genetics, and predispositions (*possibly based on society of the times) that are determined at conception together with the growth of the child within the womb. Psalms 139: 14-15 gives God thanks for His awesome creation of human life. A recognition that God knows each soul from conception and the strength of character connected to the soul, is acknowledged. Psalms 139: 16 reaffirms that God is all knowing and remembers everything. He reminds us that an individual person’s life is finite. 226 Further exacerbation of Biblical condemnation of abortion is shown in Exodus (*:21: 22-25.) When men have a fight and hurt a woman with child, so that she suffers a miscarriage, but no further injury, the guilty one shall be fined as much as the woman’s husband demands of him; and he shall pay in the presence of judges. But if injury ensues, you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. (*author’s note: I would like to offer to the reader, this passage as stated in The Hebraic Roots Bible which is a literal translation from the ancient Aramaic Bible as follows:) And when men fight, and they strike a pregnant woman, and her child goes forth, and there is no injury, being fined he shall be fined. As much as the woman of the husband shall put on him, even he shall give through the judges. But if injury occurs, you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, branding for branding, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. It is my opinion that the above passage is very important. The passage defines a life, and the punishment for ending a life including the life of an unborn human being. Some evil entities have changed this passage in some Bibles to suit their needs for wealth, power, and control (*tyranny) over the population of people. For example in the above compared passages, a “miscarriage” means the death of the unborn human being while a “child going forth” means an early birth but not necessarily the death of the infant. Beware of the Purveyors of Death Deuteronomy 14 states the kinds of animals that the Israelites were permitted to eat and forbidden to eat. Further insight and study of this passage may reveal additional meaning. The final sentence is a forewarning to society on the dangers of surrogate parenting, which is so common today. Deuteronomy 14, passage 21 concludes with “You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.”(*author’s note: One possible interpretation of the above passage is that) others who are not the child’s parents should not deceive the child with false moral messages of caring and understanding. Many times, destructive advice is given by these purveyors of immorality thus inflicting harm on the child. Organized groups such as Planned Parenthood have assumed the parental role of moral teacher with programs that promote immorality, for a larger evil purpose. Planned Parenthood is an organization that is partially funded by federal, state, and local taxpayer dollars. When society supports such an organization, parents lose their influence and authority over their children and the evil purveyors of death gain that influence and authority. Among other Laws broken, children cease to honor their father and mother. Government approval of abortion in the cases of rape and incest goes against Biblical teachings. Rape, is considered to be a Capital crime usually caused by lust and anger. Incest is an Abomination. The child that may result from these crimes is completely innocent of engaging in these evils. If the government compounds these crimes by permitting an act of murder to be committed against an innocent person, that is the unborn child, (*then) society is punished. 227 Deuteronomy 22: 25-26 addresses the crime of rape. If, however, it is in the open fields that a man comes upon such a betrothed maiden, seizes her and has relations with her, the man alone shall die. You shall do nothing to the maiden since she is not guilty of a Capital offense. This case is like that of a man who rises up against his neighbor and murders him. (* author’s note: Recognize that the rapist is not murdered (in violation of Commandant VI) by those seeking justice but rather his life is removed through other means.) Betroth as defined by Webster’s Dictionary is a promise to marry. It is plain to see that the above Biblical decree can also be applied to a married woman. In the circumstance of consensual or nonconsensual sexual intercourse, Deuteronomy 22: 28-29 further teaches: “If a man comes upon a maiden that is not betrothed, takes her and has relations with her, and their deed is discovered, the man who had relations with her shall pay the girl’s father fifty shekels and take her as his wife, because he has deflowered her”. Here it is explained that a punishment must also be determined by society for the rape of an unengaged woman. The abomination of incest is explained in Leviticus. Abominations are considered to be high crimes, grave sins that are worse than Capital Sins. Webster’s Dictionary defines an abomination to be something extremely disgusting and hateful. A Pessimistic Outlook on Life Does Not Justify Abortion The Book of Job is a Biblical story about a man named Job who was considered to be a God fearing, righteous citizen who resided in the land of Uz. He was blessed with seven sons and three daughters, wealth and prosperity. Satan tested Job and within a short length of time, Job’s seven sons and three daughters (apparently) died (for examples of various deaths: spiritual, intellectual, physical, or psychological) and he lost all of his worldly possessions. Shortly thereafter, Satan returned again and inflicted a physical ailment of boils on Job’s skin. Job became emotionally distraught and was filled with despair. Three friends, upon hearing of Job’s misfortune, journeyed to Job’s home to console him. Job, in his depressed state of mind, laments to his friends: Job: 3: 3-4, 11, 16, 12-13 “Perish the day on which I was born, the night when they said “The child is a boy”! May that day be darkness: let God above call for it, nor light shine upon it! Why did I not perish at birth, come forth from the womb and expire? Or why was I not buried away like an untimely birth, Wherefore did the knees receive me? Or why did I suck at the breasts? For then I should have lain down and been tranquil;” Abortionists have used these passages to affirm and to convince an ignorant public that God, through this writing condones abortion (interpreting writings out of context). An additional passage that has 228 been cited in Job by the purveyors of death, speaks of Job’s continued laments to his friends that he wished he had never been born. Job:10: 18-19 “Why then did you bring me forth from the womb? I should have died and no eye have seen me. I should be as through I had never lived; I should have been taken from the womb to the grave.” The story continues as his three friends believe that Job is somehow responsible for his serious misfortunes but they surmise that perhaps he is not responsible and so they sympathize with Job. Job recognizes that God has always guided him and was his mentor, beginning at conception. Job: 31: 18 “Though like a father God has reared me from my youth, guiding me even from my mother’s womb”. The story concludes with God speaking to Job who repents for questioning God’s actions. Job’s seven sons and three daughters were restored to him as well as his prosperity. It is important to note that at the beginning of the story, Job’s sons and daughters were reported dead, but at the end of the story were restored. This explains that death can occur in (at least) two ways, spiritually and physically. A spiritual death is caused by a loss and/or void in morals that leave a life unfulfilled and empty. Abortion policies cause spiritual deaths.” God is with Every Person God has a plan for every life prior to conception. The word of God is spoken in Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you.” God’s plan for Jeremiah was to become a prophet. God has a plan for each person (and grants talents to each person). However, decisions of man sometimes prevent God’s plan for each person’s happiness and fulfillment in life from being realized. It is clear to recognize how God’s plan for those lives aborted, will never come to fruition. Jeremiah 1:5 explains that God considers the unborn to be human lives. Trickery is Treachery Some have quoted passages (from) The Bible to justify the murder of the born and unborn. These passages are always taken out of context. Examine the complete story. Read about the transpiration of events prior to the decision to commit murder of innocent lives and the repercussions or aftermath that followed. The Bible, read in its’ entirety with intent focus will yield a clear understanding of the consequences that human lives suffer for the breaking of God’s Laws (The Ten Commandments). The Text likewise repeatedly demonstrates how corrupt government leads people astray into breaking The Ten Commandments for governments own short lived benefit of great wealth, power, and control (tyranny) over a continuously decimated population until the society as a whole is destroyed. 229 Psalms: 106:36-41 provides an example of a society destroyed. “They served their idols which became a snare for them. They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons. And they shed the innocent blood of their sons and daughter, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, desecrating the land with bloodshed. They became defiled by their works, and wanton in their crimes. And the Lord grew angry with his people, and abhorred his inheritance; He gave them over into the hands of the nations, and their foes ruled over them.” A Statement on Science Scientifically it (has been) proven that life begins at the moment of conception. Cells begin to divide (growth occurs) at the time the man’s sperm has penetrated the woman’s egg. During the process of the journey from the fallopian tube to the womb, the human life is growing. Upon attachment to the wall of the womb, the human life continues to grow further. (*author’s note: After an individual is born, the human being continues to grow until reaching the age of approximately 21 years of age.) A child is not viable or able to live outside of the womb usually for nine months. A woman carrying (a human being) has a moral obligation to adhere to the Laws of God by (allowing her body) to provide nourishment and habitat to the (human being) during the first nine months of life. (*authors note: If circumstances are inconvenient for the parents to care for the baby after the birth, then adoption is the moral response.) Modern science has shed additional light on how The Immaculate Conception of Jesus Christ may have occurred. Realize that a woman’s egg contains the complete requirements for life of forty six chromosomes prior to fertilization. (*author’s note: Read the information provided in Just Thoughts, regarding the biological processes of this phenomena.) Further Biblical Statements on The Laws God provided The Ten Commandments to prevent human lives from suffering needlessly due to ignorance of God’s Laws. “Timothy: 1: 8-11 “But we know that the Law is good, if a man uses it rightly, knowing that the Law is not made for the just, but for the unjust and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for criminals and the defiled, for patricides and matricides, for murderers, for immoral people, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine, according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which has been committed to my trust.”” Jesus Christ speaks with a rich man who asks what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus Christ replies: Mark: 10: 19 “You know The Commandments: “You shall not kill: you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and mother.” 230 (As of this writing), a good discussion offering a Biblical perspective on abortion policies and government can be found on the internet at www.covenantnews.com/cspa990830.htm. In April and May, extensive internet research was accomplished to investigate the Illuminati and the havoc that this occult organization has inflicted on the world during the past 125 years or so. The following simplified and basic presentation regarding this subject was added to consequencesofabortion.com on May 20. I believe that Jesus Christ assisted me in the sorting of a tremendous amount of information concerning this time period to provide the people with a basic understanding of the transpiration of events occurring at this time. The presentation as shown in the original consequencesofabortion.com under the subtitle: ”Consider the Facts and Examine the History” is below. Some corrections, minor editing, and current author’s notes are included. The Seeds of the Apocalypse Adam Weishaupt the founder of the Illuminati was born of February 6, 1748 and died on November 18, 1830. Weishaupt had a parochial school education and was taught by Jesuit priests. He founded the Illuminati of Bavaria, Germany on May 1, 1776. The Illuminati and its’ affiliates the Masons and Freemasons gained in popularity and membership throughout Europe and America. The goals of the Illuminati were to establish an all powerful one world government through the abolishment of traditional religion, family and culture, love for one’s own country, and private property ownership. Weishaupt read many books on the practices of the occult. He believed that “if the profit is greater than the damage, it becomes a virtue.” Weishaupt has been credited with establishing the “Kingdom of Satan” on earth, which is a kingdom of eternal death. Karl Marx was born on May 5, 1818 and died on March 14, 1883. He was a descendent of several family members who were rabbis in Trier, Germany. Marx’s father converted from Judaism to Christianity because he was threatened with losing his position as a lawyer if he did not proselyte. Marx’s most influential writing was the “Communist Manifesto” published in 1848. The Manifesto called for the existing form of government to be replaced with a deadly, Communist ideological form of governance. The “Communist Manifesto” opposed all religion and The Laws of God, morality as taught in The Bible, family and traditional values, eternal truths, private land ownership, and family inheritance. The Manifesto proposed that the government assume the role of teacher of children, control of the economy, medicine, social programs, and most everything else concerning the individual’s life. The “Communist Manifesto” proposed the establishment of an income tax to support the programs of the Communist government. It is likely that Karl Marx and others read the writings of Adam Weishaupt as much of the Communist philosophy is identical to the beliefs of the Illuminati. Illuminati and Communist ideology circulated throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. The Illuminati and Communist philosophies at one point in time were combined. Illuminated Communist leadership 231 believes that God exists and recognizes the path of righteousness but decides instead to subscribe to occult teachings, that is, anti-Christ agendas (the opposite of the Laws of God and Biblical codes of conduct). (author’s note: to gain power and wealth over the population masses through engaging the people in immoralities.) The Communist ideology of atheism is arranged for the belief of the population masses so the Communist government can assume the position of God with Satan’s assistance. The general dissatisfaction of people with the monarchial governments that were prevalent at that time provided a ripe opportunity for the Illuminated Communists with their well defined alternative government, to incite further increased discontent among the population. Russia was the initial target of the illuminated Communists as the poverty situation of the people, especially the peasant farmers was most severe in that nation. In 1883, Russia’s first illuminated Communist group was established. The group actively sought the support of industry workers in their attempts to overthrow the existing government. On January 22, 1905, the Illuminated Communists with their followers revolted against the monarchy. The revolt resulted in the deaths of one thousand people and that day is remembered as “Bloody Sunday”. The Seeds are Planted As Illuminati and Communist doctrine continued to circulate throughout Europe, various groups organized as followers of these philosophies. A follower of an illuminated Communist group known as “The Black Hand” instigated the beginning of World War I by assassinating Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Austria-Hungarian Empire on June 28, 1914. The assassination and the social action that followed provided other illuminated Communist groups with the prime opportunity to revolt against the existing European Monarchies. Within a short period of time, a full fledged war developed involving more than twelve nations. During the course of the war other crimes against humanity were committed by illuminated Communists such as the genocide of the Armenians. More than one million Armenians living in Turkey were killed by Turkey’s newly formed government known as the “Young Turks”, an organization that developed from secret societies. The result of World War I was more than fifteen million people killed (perhaps not inclusive of genocides) and a large Communist nation established named the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, formerly known as Russia. With the illuminated Communist’s mission completed in Russia, the new government quickly proceeded to approve abortion in 1920 and subsequently and covertly engaged in the use of basic espionage technology equipment to eliminate (murder) those people deemed to be enemies of the State. Untold millions of human beings lost their lives through these Soviet government policies. Under the leadership of Josef Stalin, (at least) twenty million Russian people were killed for disagreeing with government policies. Josef Stalin, an illuminated Communist ruled over the Soviet Union from 1924 to 1953. Stalin attended a seminary school as a youth and at one time considered becoming a priest. This religious knowledge, reversed to occult practice, served Stalin’s illuminated Communist agendas. 232 Beginning in May 1917 to October 1917, a monthly message from God was delivered to three children and others in the town of Fatima, Portugal. The message warned the people against supporting the illuminated Communists that were quickly gaining public support throughout the world. This message was largely unheeded. In 1918 to 1919, an influenza epidemic killed millions of people worldwide. Charles Darwin’s book “Origin of the Species” (first) published in (1859), discussed the process of natural selection in animals. During the early 1900’s the book’s ideas were transformed and were applied to human beings becoming the foundation of the eugenics movement. Hitler’s plan to develop his own godlike “Aryan Nation” was based on eugenics theory publications that were popular reading at that time. An influential woman in the Communist movement in the United States was Margaret Sanger. She was born one of eleven children in 1879 to a poor family living in Corning, New York. Margaret Sanger’s sister helped to pay (for) Sanger’s tuition at a nursing school (that) she attended in early adulthood. Her training as a nurse was used to promote birth control to the poor living in New York City during the early years of the 1900’s. Sanger was an atheist who proclaimed “No God, No Masters”. Additional quotes spoken by Margaret Sanger (*author’s note: were offered on a website that is no longer available, one quote in particular shown on this website, indicated that Sanger desired to eliminate African Americans.) Sanger aligned herself with like minded Communists promoting eugenics, euthanasia, selective breeding, and sterilization. She became Planned Parenthood’s first president and eventually promoted the use of the abortifacient birth control pill through that agency. Malignant Roots Spread Illuminated Communists continued to infiltrate the nations across Europe, Asia, and America with their Godless society ideologies. The Second World War instigated by the governments of Germany and Japan began in 1939. Adolf Hitler, Germany’s leader envisioned a consolidated Europe under his Nazi control. Hitler attended Catholic a school as a child, was an altar boy, and considered becoming a priest. Hitler’s fragmented knowledge of religion served an illuminated dictatorial agenda. As leader of the Nazi regime, Hitler implemented eugenics programs to accomplish his goal of achieving a “master race”. He deemed that the Jews and the handicapped were not human beings and were to be killed. Dissenting people who spoke out against the Nazi government were also murdered. A total of twelve million people were killed under the Nazi regime. Meanwhile in the Soviet Union “Stalinist Purges” continued as more than twenty million Russian people were killed for dissenting against government policies. To replace the dwindling population, Stalin outlawed abortion in 1936 (*authors’ note: by 1955, abortion was reapproved in the Soviet Union). In 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union signed an agreement called the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact to divide Europe between the two countries. Japan had similar ambitions to consolidate Asia under Japanese authority. China was suffering from internal strife as the Communists continued to gain influence in that nation. 233 More than nine nations were involved in World War II resulting in sixty two million people killed and many nations delivered into the situation of illuminated Communist governance which was the desired outcome of world leadership. The Roots Metastasize Near the end of World War II, illuminated Communists had infiltrated the United States and were given cooperation of government. In 1944, the first in vitro conceptions of (human) life occurred in a laboratory. (authors’ note: In vitro fertilization of rabbits occurred in 1934 initiated by scientist Gregory Pincus. 63 In vitro conceptions of human beings occurred in 1944 initiated by John Rock.) Thereafter, untold numbers of human lives continued to be created, killed, experimented on, and implanted into uteruses. At this juncture, that is permitting the massive slaughter of innocent human life, the United States became a nation of “fighting Communists” vying for control of other nations to consolidate power for a one world government. The Korean War fought during the years 1950 to 1953 resulted in the deaths of approximately six million people. The war was apparently fought to prevent the Soviet influenced “hard line” illuminated Communists in Northern Korea from inflicting oppressive policies in Southern Korea. This also served to divert and distract attention away from the immoral and murderous scientific breakthroughs that were occurring at that time in the United States. (The) development of the birth control pill, a drug that sometimes causes abortion began in 1951. By 1960 the United States Food and Drug Administration approved the abortifacient birth control pill for use as a contraceptive. It was unbeknownst to the majority of users that the pill could cause the abortion of a conceived (human being). Most women were told that the drug prevented ovulation. (As of this writing and) for further information on the history of the birth control pill search (on the internet) “American Experience The Pill Timeline.”64 In 1955, the Soviet Supreme Court secured their power by legalizing abortion for all the countries seized by the Soviet Union after World War II, with the exception of Albania. The war in Vietnam was officially fought between the years 1957 to 1975. Escalation of the war occurred between the years 1966 to 1971. A peace agreement was reached on January 27, 1973, with final troop withdrawals completed in 1975. Basically the premise for fighting this war was the same as for fighting the war in Korea. Vietnam served as a diversion and distraction to the American public from focusing attention on the “soft line” illuminated Communist seizure of political power in the United States. Agendas of mass murder that are typical of illuminated Communist strategy to confiscate power expanded in 1967 with surgical and drug induced abortion approved by four State governments. The Federal government’s approval of the slaughter of innocent unborn human lives through abortion, was legalized for all fifty states by the Supreme Court on January 22, 1973. (As of this writing) see www.nrlc.org/abortion/facts/abortiontimeline.html for further information. (A primary) purpose of the Vietnam War complete, a peace accord was signed in Paris five days later. 234 The official reason given for the war in Vietnam was to prevent the “hard line” illuminated Communists in North Vietnam from seizing power in South Vietnam. Approximately three million people lost their lives as a result of the war. Among other United States illuminated Communist agendas deceitfully foisted and promoted to the public and legalized during this Vietnam War (and) abortion approval time period, was gambling through government sponsored sales of lottery tickets which became an encouragement to commit the Capital Sins of greed, (gluttony, and envy). And, the rescission of Sunday business closure laws (which was) an encouragement to defy God’s Law regarding a holy day of rest on the Sabbath Day, also occurred during this time. Throughout this century, the genocides of many have occurred worldwide ordered by illuminated Communist governments. From 1976 to 1979 the Khmer Rouge, the brutal “hard line” government of Cambodia was responsible for killing five million people (authors’ note: almost one half of the population) in an effort to (apparently) depopulate cities. The Khmer Rouge, lead by Pol Pot was fearful of the educated people dwelling in the cities who had begun to protest government policies. The Khmer Rouge after reading Marxist theory, considered people in cities to be threats, parasites, and a hindrance to an illuminated Communist utopia where few people are needed to serve the State. At this Time (2006) The illuminated Communists in control of the United States have decreed the status of Americans now to be that of “fighting Terrorists”. With the advent of billions of human lives killed in laboratories, millions killed through drug induced and surgical abortion, and potentially much of the population murdered through new laws permitting euthanasia and assisted suicide, this label may be appropriate. The short term survivors of these policies can expect to experience reduced intelligence, confusion, and other syndromes as people revert to animal status. The Iraq war began on March 20, 2003 and continues today. (*author’s note: The Iraq War ended on December 18, 2011.) Estimated deaths due to this conflict, has exceeded two hundred and fifty thousand people. (*author’s note: by the end of the War the human casualties were estimated to be more than one million people.) Is it likely that this war’s purpose is to further the Terror Illuminated Communists agendas in the Middle East (authors’ note: and South and Central America) and to serve as a diversion and distraction to euthanasia and assisted suicide laws approved in the United States? Following the above website additions in March and May, I read The Qur’an to prove and to show as one example how The Ten Commandments are stated in the religious book of the Moslem religion. This author is confident that The Ten Commandments are also stated in the religious books of the Buddhist and Hindu religions as well. Others are invited to do this research. The following text was added to consequencesofabortion.com on June 2. 235 Correlation A common theme restated throughout the Qu’ran is the constant battle to contend with the various injustices inflicted on the population of believers, by unbelievers. The believers can be defined as those people who follow The Laws of God and adhere to morality as taught in The Qur’an and clearly defined in The Bible. Conversely, unbelievers either do not abide by all of God’s Laws and moral codes of conduct or choose those Laws and morality that are most convenient to follow at a given time, based on circumstances. Unbelievers if provided the opportunity can incite believers to commit Capital Sins, Abominations, and perhaps violate God’s Laws due to the unbelievers negative effect (and influence) on society. See the diagrams at the end of this section. It is vitally important for people to acknowledge and seriously consider adhering to The Laws of God. The purpose of this presentation is to disclose The Ten Commandments written within The Qur’an and to provide examples from The Qur’an that teach about the grave sin of aborting an innocent human life.

Mary, Book XIX, passage 20” The Choice A. Verbal and visual attacks and actions against The Laws of God and morality (evil) are subdued with an equal reaction by those who follow the Laws of God and Biblical moral codes (good). B. An increasingly greater number of people are participating in evil. Those involved in works of good become tired and either agree with evil, stop caring, or become complacent. C. People recognize evil and repent for sins committed. They pray to God to intercede and assist in the fight against evil. D. Less people participate in evil. Maliciousness loses its’ momentum. E. Refusal to comply with evil results in the triumph of good. Evil is subdued through the vigilance of the good. (*author’s note: In other words, people repent for their immoralities and return to the following on The Ten Commandments, avoid Capital Sins and Abominations therefore gaining God’s assistance in removing evil doers from the society.) 239 A. Verbal and visual attacks and actions against The Laws of God and morality (evil) are subdued with an equal reaction by those who follow the Laws of God and Biblical moral codes (good). B. An increasingly greater number of people are participating in evil. Those involved in works of good become tired and either agree with evil, stop caring, or become complacent. C. All people participate or comply with evil. D. The society is destroyed. A. All people recognize and follow the Ten Laws of God and adhere to the moral codes as taught in The Bible, resulting in happiness, prosperity, health, and peace for all. B. Or verbal and visual attacks and actions against the Laws of God and morality (evil) are subdued with an equal reaction by those who follow the Laws of God and Biblical moral codes (good). The Righteous Path and The Wrongful Road “Have We not appointed him two eyes, and a tongue, and two lips and guided him on the two highways? Yet he has not assaulted the steep; and what shall teach thee what is the steep? The freeing of a slave, or giving food upon a day of hunger to an orphan near of kin or a needy man in misery; then 240 that he become of those who believe and counsel each other to be steadfast, and counsel each other to be merciful.” “Those are the Companions of the Right Hand. And those who disbelieve in Our signs, they are the Companions of the Left Hand; over them is a Fire covered down.” The Land, Book XC, passages 10, 15, and 20 Noah speaks to God about his attempts to forewarn the people before they are killed and the land destroyed. “He said, My Lord, I have called my people by night and by day, but my calling has only increased them in flight. And whenever I called them, that Thou mightiest forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, and wrapped them in their garments, and persisted, and waxed very proud.” Noah, Book LXXI, passage 5” On June 15, a compilation of references that I believed to be significant for the people to read and research was offered in the original website under the heading “Query”.

In addition, hundreds of cards and e-mails were sent to travel resorts and others involved in the travel industry around the world. 243 Retrospective: Agents from foreign countries have increasingly provided resources (money for one example) to some nations to approve abortion and expand immorality within that nation’s society. The Bible provides indisputable information and evidence that abortion is considered to be the murder of a human being which is in direct violation of the sixth Commandment. People who continue to defy God through the violating of one or more of The Ten Commandments are responsible for the destruction of the society and the people residing within that society. Historical Accounts 2006: 67 About one thousand four hundred people are killed in a ferry accident in Egypt on February 3. A mudslide in the Philippines on February 17 kills one thousand one hundred and twenty six people. In May, the Human Genome project (genetic identification) is completed. An earthquake on May 27 in Indonesia kills more than six thousand people. NASA’s Stardust mission returns to earth with the first dust from a comet for analysis. Italy defeats France to win the world soccer cup. Remarks: It appears as though scientists have made it possible to now positively identify the ancestry of all human beings. Read the Commentary on Genetic Identification to understand the possible repercussions to human kind due to this technology. Another earthquake kills thousands of people in Indonesia. 2007 In January, an acquaintance of daughter’s, daughter’s employer, and I hosted a baby shower for daughter. Among the over abundance of gifts received, cold medicines and other over the counter drugs for children were given to daughter. I thought these “gifts” to be completely inappropriate and an immoral influence on daughter. I noticed throughout recent years that parents were relying heavily on medicines both prescription and over the counter for the slightest infant and/or childhood cold. I stated to daughter not to use these medicines unless the illness situation of her child was close to an emergency (for example, a high fever). An important article regarding the disbursing of cold remedies for children was found on the internet titled “Cold Remedies put Children at Risk” which discussed how many children are being poisoned and die due to over medicating them with these drugs.68 A short time later, spouse was contacted for a job interview with an over the counter drug manufacturer. After researching the company, spouse discovered a lawsuit launched against them because hundreds of children in a Caribbean nation died apparently due to the ingestion of one of the corporation’s over the counter drug products. I thought this “coincidence” to be harassment by evil. 244 At about this time, it became known to me that some retailers and credit card companies included expiration dates on gift cards. If a gift card is paid for with cash to the amount on the card, it is stealing to include an expiration date on an issued gift card. In February, spouse and I welcomed our first grandchild, a girl who was born to daughter. The birth and the next several weeks after grandchild’s birth were however, harrowing for me. Daughter was less than one week past her due date for infant delivery but the physician deemed that labor induction was necessary. On the day scheduled for labor inducement, daughter was informed of the drug to be administered for this procedure. Daughter rejected this drug as she was aware of several dangerous side effects to the infant resulting from the use of this substance. Instead, she requested a “safer” drug to be administered for labor inducement. Experiencing significant labor discomfort for more than thirty six hours, granddaughter was finally born naturally. Daughter requested that the hepatitis B immunization not be administered to the newborn. Two days later, daughter was dismissed from the hospital but the physician stated that infant granddaughter must remain in the hospital due to a blood infection and a jaundice condition. It was a sad day when daughter returned home without her baby. A few days later infant granddaughter was released from the hospital. Daughter had decided not to breast feed the baby and so a brand of infant formula was prescribed by the pediatrician and a small supply of this formula packaged in individual serving bottles was provided to daughter by the hospital at the time of the baby’s release from this facility. Upon daughter arriving home with granddaughter, I proceeded to warm a bottle containing infant formula on the stove by placing the bottle in water that was contained in a sauce pan (microwave ovens remove nutrition from food). Daughter asked me why I was warming the bottle of formula as it was stated to her by a staff member working at the hospital that the formula should be given to the newborn infant at room temperature. I was aghast at this detrimental advice given to her by a professional. I explained to daughter that the body temperature of a breast feeding woman is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit and that any formula or food given to an infant should be at or close to this temperature. Exhausted and emotionally drained, daughter also recognized and could not believe this bad advice given by a remedy specialist. I particularly noticed that infant granddaughter’s eyes appeared to indicate an illness to me and so I was extra diligent and attentive to the baby and would not allow her to express discomfort through crying for a need. One also innately believes that a post traumatic stress syndrome could develop in infants that are left to cry for a lengthy period of time. By the time the remnant of the umbilical cord became dislodged from the infant’s naval, daughter was told that a bath, through the submersion of the infant in water, could be ministered to the baby. So, within two weeks of birth, granddaughter was placed on a soft contoured sponge that was submerged in a shallow bath. After being placed in the bath, infant granddaughter became overwhelmed and flailed her arms and legs. Daughter immediately removed her infant from the bath and wrapped her tightly in a towel where the baby drifted off into a deep sleep. While dressing her, granddaughter could not be roused. Daughter frantically telephoned the pediatrician about this circumstance and visited with him and granddaughter immediately. The physician also could not rouse granddaughter from her slumber and suggested to daughter that the baby may have had a seizure. The pediatrician telephoned the hospital and admitted infant granddaughter for various tests. The baby awoke from her sleep while at 245 the hospital two hours after the bath incident and appeared normal as reported to me by daughter. Daughter remained at the hospital for several days to care for her newborn baby while awaiting the results of the tests prescribed by the pediatrician. Since testing done on the infant required results to be obtained by a laboratory in Chicago, Illinois a lengthy stay in the hospital was required because of the wait involved to obtain the results in writing from this distant city. After arriving home, daughter and I decided not to submerge granddaughter in a bath of water until she was three months old and so daily sponge baths became routine for granddaughter during the next two and one half months. Through news reports, one became aware of the hazards of BPA (bisphenol A), which is a chemical used in the manufacturing of linings for metal cans that contain food products. It was reported that BPA can cause brain and nerve damage, cancer, hormonal problems resulting in reproductive problems and/or human developmental defects and is especially harmful to infants. A news story from China, depicted parents with infants waiting on long lines to procure medical help for the children apparently made ill by BPA. Television reports alerted people in the United States to the dangers of this substance. Concerned with the lining of granddaughter’s baby formula cans, one contacted the formula manufacturer to inquire if BPA was a compound in the linings of the formula cans used by this company. The reply was yes that BPA was used in the lining of cans and that the FDA (Federal Food and Drug Administration) had approved the use of this chemical compound for lining the cans of food products. At three months old, daughter desired to have portrait photographs taken of granddaughter. Granddaughter was dressed in a formal dress in preparation for these milestone photographs. Daughter selected a photography studio contained within a major department store to take and develop these photographs. After taking several photographs of granddaughter in various poses, it was suggested to daughter by the photographer to remove the clothing from granddaughter for additional poses and photographs. In August, granddaughter received the sacrament of Baptismal at a local Catholic Church. A small dinner party to celebrate this event was given at our home. Over the course of the year, granddaughter recovered from what seemed to be an early ill beginning. Vaccinations were declined and granddaughter became a chubby, strong, vibrant infant who began walking at nine months, one week post birth. She amazed me with her memory and recall and was able to recite with very little adult help, the poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas” at age twenty- two months post birth. In 2011, when daughter was reviewing papers in a file cabinet, she discovered that granddaughter was immunized with the hepatitis B vaccine shortly following birth. A quiet outrage over came me as I then realized why granddaughter may have suffered from these earlier health problems as a newborn baby. It is most appropriate at this time to discuss the environmentally polluting (to human beings and nature), disposable diaper. A half century ago and before, babies undergarments consisted of a cloth diaper with perhaps a liquid proof pant worn over the diaper. It is also interesting to note that most children at that time were completely toilet trained by two years old. At this time, it is not unusual to 246 hear of a child who is still not completely toilet trained at four years old. Today, disposable diapers are offered for purchase that contain within the diapers, a potentially dangerous liquid absorbing gel. If this gel is released from its’ containment within the diaper while worn by the infant, harm could possibly be inflicted on the baby. In addition, these diapers are contributors to creating the huge amounts of waste seen in landfills. Today, quality cloth diapers can be purchased with safe Velcro closures. Biodegradable paper diaper inserts can also provide extra protection from leakage and allow for ease when changing a baby’s diaper. Soft reusable vinyl and cotton pants can also be found for sale on the internet to provide additional protection from leakage. In the autumn, a disturbing, barely discernable telephone call was received by son who was away from home attending a university. He informed spouse that he was attacked by a group of wayward youths the night prior and had just been released from the emergency room of a hospital located in the area of his school attendance. After hearing of this attack, spouse drove to son’s off campus apartment that he shared with other students, to visit with son. Son suffered a concussion and other head injuries and trauma including lacerations requiring stitches on his lips, head, and chin, a black eye, and a swollen face. Other bodily injuries were sustained as well. Son had informed spouse and me that in addition to being attacked by several individuals, broken glass bottles were being used by the wayward youths as weapons against him. I suggested after this incident that son return home from school and attend a college in the local area where he could commute to school but son refused as he was determined to complete his studies at this far from home university. Because spouse was dismissed from his job in August 2006, health insurance coverage had expired for our family. Fortunately however, the police informed us that the money to pay for son’s extensive treatment in the emergency room of the hospital for injuries sustained during this attack would be covered under a crime victims fund established apparently by government. Retrospective: Progressively, and comparing the pregnancies and births of my parent’s children, our children, and daughter’s pregnancy and birth of her child, mothers in a vulnerable, ill, and recuperative position are increasingly expected to be on guard for attacks by evil doers against them and their newborn babies. A possible solution to this problem is to provide a patient advocate for all patients contending with various remedial specialists and this suggestion should also probably include a patient advocate for infants (as our granddaughter was given an immunization that was declined by daughter, for one example). It is safest not to submerge a newborn in water for a bath until the baby reaches three months post birth as a bath in water can traumatize some newborn infants. Is it possible that the hepatitis B immunization routinely administered to newborns, causes a blood infection in some babies? A comprehensive DVD explaining and depicting good and proper infant care should be distributed to all new mothers by all facilities involved in providing childbirth services. Prior to the distribution of this DVD, the content should be reviewed and approved of by other outside interested groups such as some prolife groups and religious organizations for two examples. Laboratories within close proximity to one’s residence and treatment center should be used by remedy specialists (this includes the manufacture of dental apparatuses) to provide for timely results. People should beware that pedophiles and pornography inspired individuals are prevalent throughout an evil society and are sometimes engaged in 247 specific professions to satisfy their perversions. Babies and young children need careful supervision at all times to protect them from these unscrupulous individuals. I believed that granddaughter’s good memory, recall, and physical health were due to not immunizing her and the providing of good and proper nutrition with an accompanying relaxed atmosphere of rest. Artificial vitamins were not given to granddaughter. I believed that attacks by evil continued to be launched against our family during this year because I do not agree with and speak out against the immoralities in today’s society. Historical Accounts 2007: 69 A $1.5 billion international program to study the North and South poles is approved by international government on March 1.

Remarks: An increasing number of people are apparently enamored with the occult. Delving into the practices of the occult can result in people becoming occult members. One suicidal person kills many people in Iraq. A cyclone, once again kills multitudes of people in the poor country of Bangladesh. 2008 After reading a book containing historical documents related to the inception of the government of the United States, I realized that many people were either knowingly or unknowingly involved in treasonous activity against the foundations of United States government policy and laws. Without a doubt, the formation of the government of the United States is based on The Ten Commandments of God. To prove this point, excerpts from The Bible, the book “Freedom Documents”, and personal commentary was added to the original consequencesofabortion.com on January 5. Below is shown this addition with some minor editing and current authors’ notes. The Geneva Bible 1560 Exodus XXI:22 Also if men strive and hurt a woman with childe, so that her childe depart from her and death follow not, he shall be severely punished according as the woman’s husband shall appoint him, or he shall pay as the judges determine. (*authors’ note: Commandment VI states Thou shall not kill.) 248 This older edition of the Bible clearly recognizes that the unborn child is a human being with exactly the same rights as an adult. Today abortions continue unabated in laboratories and through drug and surgical procedures. In the United States, (more than) fifty million people have been murdered by surgical abortions alone (since 1973). One state has approved euthanasia and assisted suicide as a further way to murder people. One can only imagine where this will lead. Arbitrary decisions will be made by others regarding an individual’s life and some will be “assisted in suicide” whether they want to die or not. It is time for a new government. Quotes Citing God and The Bible in Founding Government Documents The Mayflower Compact of 1620: “In the name of God, Amen”…”Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia.” Fundamental Orders 1639: “Forasmuch as it hath pleased the Almighty God by the wise disposition of His divine providence”…”to maintain and preserve the liberty and purity of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus which we now Profess, as also, the discipline of the Churches, which according to the truth of the said Gospel is now practiced amongst us; as also in our Civil affairs to be guided and governed according to such Laws, Rules, Orders, and Decrees as shall be made, ordered and decreed as followeth:” The Rights of the Colonists and a List of Violations of the Rights 1772: “Among the Natural Rights of the Colonists are these First: a Right to Life: Secondly to Liberty: Thirdly to Property, together with the Right to support and defend them in the best manner they can”…”Just and true liberty, equal and impartial liberty in matters spiritual and temporal, is a thing that all Men are clearly entitled to, by the eternal and immutable Laws of God and nature, as well as by the laws of Nations and all well grounded in municipal laws, which must have their foundation in the former”…”In the state of nature, every man is under God, Judge and sole Judge, of his own rights and the injuries done him:” Thomas Jefferson on Slavery 1784: “And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever; that considering numbers in nature, and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation is among possible events; that it may become probable by supernatural interference! The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest.” The Northwest Ordinance 1787: “Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.” 249 Ben Franklin’s Call to Prayer 1787: “I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: ‘that God governs in the affairs of man’…”We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they Labor in vain that built it.” George Washington’s First Inaugural Address 1789: “I shall take my present leave: but not without resorting once more to the benign Parent of the Human Race, in humble supplication that since He has pleased to favor the American people with opportunities for deliberating in perfect tranquility and dispositions for deciding with unparalleled unanimity on a form of government for the security of their happiness, so His divine blessing may be equally conspicuous in the enlarged views, the temperate consultations, and the wise measures on which the success of this government must depend.” George Washington’s Farewell Address 1796: “Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to Political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensible supports”…”Let it simply be asked, Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice?” Second Inaugural Address of President Abraham Lincoln 1865: (with regard to slavery) “Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces, but let us judge not, that we not be judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been fully answered fully. The Almighty has his own purposes. Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs Be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.” The Biblically Based United States Constitution 1788 During inaugural ceremonies where public officials take their oaths of office, a hand is placed on the Bible. This oath is a promise to fulfill the duties of the position to the best of one’s ability. By placing a hand on The Bible, the unsaid oath is to uphold Biblical principles while in the position of serving the public. Citing the United States Constitution, Article II section I, the last paragraph concerns the oath of the office of the President of the United States and states as follows: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” It has been protocol and custom in this Biblically based society for the newly appointed President to place his hand on The Bible while taking his oath and also adding “So help me God” after the oath. The gesture of placing one’s hand on The Bible and the ending statement demonstrate that there is recognition that God’s Laws supersedes the laws of men and women. The internet is a good source to review past (United States) Presidential inaugural ceremonies. 250 Senators and congressional representatives assume their positions of office in a similar fashion. While the oath is read, the prospective public official places a hand on The Bible. Article VI, third paragraph of the United States Constitution explains: “The senators and representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under The United States.” The writers of the United States Constitution knew and recognized that no religious Test is necessary. When one places his or her hand on The Bible, that person is held accountable by God and obliged to God to abide by Biblical principles (at least) while in the position of public trust. There is also recognition in the United States Constitution that Sunday is regarded as the Sabbath Day as the majority of citizens are of the Christian faith. As stated in Article I, Section 7, second paragraph: “If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within Ten Days (Sundays excepted) After it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a law, in like Manner as if He had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be Law.” The Presidential inauguration day is always on January 20. If this day is on a Sunday, the public inaugural ceremonies are scheduled for the next day, Monday as further recognition of the Sunday Sabbath Day (*authors’ note: Commandment IV states to Remember to keep the Sabbath Day holy).” It is also interesting to note that of the twenty-seven Constitutional Amendments, seven concern voting and voting rights (Amendments XII, XV, XVII, XIX, XXIII, XXIV, and XXVI). The irony is that currently there is sufficient evidence and reason to believe that the voting system is completely corrupt. Caveat Emptor The pledge of Allegiance to the Flag recited daily by multi-millions of people affirms the existence of God as the Omnipresent Supreme Being (*authors’ note: and whose Laws are expected to be followed). (The United States Pledge of Allegiance) is stated below: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” “One nation under God” was added in 1954. The explanation for the addition is stated in the congressional record, United States Senate: The pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, June 22, 1954.” People who are ignorant of the Congressional record’s explanation and reasons for including “one nation under God” in the Pledge (of Allegiance), may believe that the government legislates laws and decrees in accordance with Biblical teachings. People may also believe that they are absolved of the 251 responsibility to embrace, (abide by), teach and enforce as individual citizens, Biblical (Laws), morals, and codes of conduct. Likewise, the discussions and reasons for this addition to the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, have been severely neglected to be taught (to children) in the United States public school system. These (three reasons and examples) could be interpreted to mean intentional deceit on the part of government. From the Declaration of Independence 1776 “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness. That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed. That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Forms, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness”…”But when a long Train of abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.” (authors’ note: The Ten Commandments are shown throughout the structure of the building that houses the United States Supreme Court in Washington D.C. and are depicted in other government State buildings throughout the United States, as well. It is also important to note that either God or Jesus Christ (as The Messiah) and whose Laws have authority over government laws is specifically referenced in the United States Constitution in Article VII as follows: “The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same. Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth. In Witness whereof We have hereunto subscribed our Names.”) A point for all people to ponder is that when a government such as the government of the United States assumes the apparent responsibility for the enforcement of Biblical morals and codes of conduct for the people living in a nation, the people living in that nation may erroneously believe themselves to be relieved of the responsibility for doing their own due diligence in maintaining religious morality in the society. The above assumption many times results in evil doers in positions of authority to cease to enforce religious morality within the society (for self wealth, power and control), while the population of people still believe the government is enforcing morality. It should also be noted with disgust that a considerable number of religious organizations have also mislead their members. By the time the masses of people realize what has occurred and are finally awakened, the society many times is saturated in immorality making it nearly impossible to change these immoral situations due to an establishment of a tyranny situation. The return to the following of The Ten Commandments, avoidance 252 of Capital Sins, and Abominations and serious prayer to God with repentance and penance for sins committed will hopefully remove this situation of tyranny so people in the society can accomplish the positive moral changes within the society as explained in some circumstances in The Bible. By the beginning of the fourth week of January, spouse, after much diligent job searching over the course of the previous two and one half years, secured a job in the industry of his experience. Throughout this year, I spent much time reading books, three of which I deemed to be important and are included in the book list shown in 2006 and specifically identified in the addition of 2008. Daughter had returned to her full time job which required me to care for her infant daughter. The child brought much joy to spouse and me throughout this year as we both enjoyed caring for her. This experience also led to the contemplation and subsequent resolution of thought that unless financial circumstances are dire for grandparents who care for their grandchildren while parents work, no money should be exchanged between close family members for this arrangement. I was also aware of child tax credits granted by the government where tax money collected, is returned at the end of the year to the parents for child care expenses. I do not believe that close family members or grandparents should charge taxpayers for providing care for their own close relatives or grandchildren. I also believe that evil gains an influence over the participants of this innately and potentially vastly corrupt system and arrangement. Through the progression of information added to the website of consequencesofabortion.com, one began to realize that important testimonies written by others like myself would be of great benefit and perhaps life saving, to other individuals who are reading and also hopefully recommending these stories to others. A worthwhile, timeless book read at this time that contained some testimony of the age of the fourth century is “The Confessions” written by Saint Augustine where one recognized that similar immoralities were occurring in this age as are occurring today. Another testimonial book of interest read that is also relevant to current times is “The Mammoth Book of Eyewitness Ancient Rome”. One afternoon in December as I was in the process of writing and sending holiday greeting cards, I was reminded that a relative had moved from the address of the prior year. Mother, who usually keeps tabs on family address changes, was not available to speak with so I impatiently decided to check for this address on a directory on the internet. After finding the relatives’ new address on the internet, I experienced a wave of guilt after realizing that I had likely engaged in a form of coveting because the relative did not grant permission to have the home address posted on the worldwide internet. I realized this year that older small appliances were more efficient and designed to function properly as compared to new small appliances recently purchased. For two examples, in the early 1990’s spouse and I were given a gift of a coffee pot that attached to the bottom of a cabinet to provide for no loss of countertop space in the kitchen. The coffee pot operated well for many years and so when it ceased to function, one purchased the same brand and type as a replacement for the prior coffee system. After installing the new under the cabinet coffee pot and preparing coffee one immediately became aggravated because the spout on the new coffee pot caused the coffee poured to spill onto the counter. 253 Unless pouring the coffee very slowly into a cup from this container one could expect to clean up spilled coffee. Another appliance given as a gift to spouse and I was a hand held mixer. Time after time while whipping heavy cream with this mixer, one would remark to spouse that it is taking an extraordinary long time to whip the cream. At first I thought this was due to the relatively new process of ultra pasteurization of dairy products. Later and by 2013 while using an old mixer from the 1980’s, one realized that there was a problem with the design of the new mixers whipping attachments as the old mixer whipped the cream much more quickly as compared to the new. Retrospective: One believes that all intellectual people can agree after reviewing the evidence regarding the establishment of the government of the United States, that the foundation of this government is based on the adherence to The Ten Commandments of God. In today’s immoral society, evil doers deceptively provide ease, convenience, and expediency to engage others into violating one or more of The Ten Commandments and/or to engage people in Capital Sins and Abominations. Historical Accounts 2008: 70 The first artificial eyes are implanted in blind patients in the United Kingdom on April 22. A cyclone in Burma on May 3 kills more than one hundred thirty three thousand people. An earthquake in China on May 12 kills more than sixty nine thousand people. Athlete Michael Phelps wins eight gold medals by August 17 at the Olympics. The first proton beam circulates on September 10 in the large antimatter Hadron Collider located at CERN in Switzerland. More than ten thousand international scientists are involved in this project. NASA launches the space shuttle Atlantis to deliver a scientific laboratory to the International Space Station. The spacecraft Phoenix lands on Mars. Remarks: An athlete acquires more gold medals than any athlete in recorded history. A potentially devastating anti-matter technology is activated and celebrated by the scientists engaged in this project. Anti-matter equipment renders the subject of criminology as we know and understand this field, null and void. 2009 In browsing the history of organ donations and the donations of other human body parts, I recognized that in the early years of these procedures, organ donations were just that, donations. No money purportedly exchanged hands, for human organs. The procedures involved in the installation of organs were costly but remedy specialists stated that the organs transplanted into needy individuals were a free and priceless gift of life given by one person to another. By the 1980’s, the illegal selling of human organs began. Beginning in 2000, I began reading disturbing mainstream media news stories where human cadavers were found to be missing body parts and organs throughout the United States. The 254 style and way the stories were written, led me to believe at that time that these body parts were removed at the morgue or funeral parlor, after death. Later, it gradually occurred to me that these missing human organs and body parts were likely removed prior to the death of the person thus causing the death of the person. By 2004, China apparently became the world’s largest source of human body organs for purchase. Through initial investigation, I discovered that in particular Falun Gong members (a spiritual, humanitarian group in China) were being arrested and imprisoned for their beliefs. Additionally, it appeared that this group was being widely targeted as well as other prisoners, for execution through organ removal performed at Chinese prisons. At this time and for further information regarding these gruesome atrocities review http://educateyourself.org/cn/sujiatundeathcamp30mar06.shtml . Also review Wikipedia Encyclopedia under the heading “Organ Transplantation in the People’s Republic of China.” 71 In 2011, I read an anxiety producing United States mainstream media news story about a young man who awoke from a coma hours before remedy specialists were scheduled to remove his organs for transplant. (Read “21 Year Old Man Wakes from Coma Before Doctors Take Organs” available at this time on the internet.) 72 Another story read discussed a nurse practitioner who was dismissed from his job as a transplant coordinator after objecting to the removal of organs from some patients who he considered to be recoverable. This story is currently available under the title” Organs taken from patients that doctors were pressured to declare brain dead: suit”. 73 Through researching these inhumane abuses of organ donation I came to realize that the removal of organs from one living person to cause the death of that individual in order to provide an extended life to another individual is still the unquestioned murder of a person (the one whose organ(s) were removed). Akin to this immorality and violation of Commandment VI (Thou shall not kill), is the growing of organs from a conceived human being (all human beings have been conceived) to serve another human being through the conceived human being’s destruction, is once again in violation of God’s Law. For further information on this application of technology read on the internet available at this time “Cell Scientists Hope to Grow Human Spare Parts”, CNN, May 22, 1999. Many people residing in an evil society have been increasingly finding themselves to be “in the wrong place at the wrong time” and suffering various hardships and anxieties due to this phenomenon. A short story immediately comes to mind exemplifying the above statement. A neighbor was seen outside gardening in his yard one sunny and breezy afternoon while a family member worked nearby on our property on the installation of a fence that bordered the two properties. Suddenly and in disbelief and awe, one watched a large tree fall to the ground just moments after the neighbor left the area of his gardening work thus narrowly escaping serious injury or perhaps death. Jesus Christ informs us of these circumstances with the following Biblical passages in Luke 13: 1-5 “And some were present at the same time reporting to him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices. And answering, Jesus said to them,” Do you think that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they were killed this way? I say to you, But if you do not repent, you will all likewise be destroyed. Or those eighteen on whom a tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that these sinners were sinners beyond all men who lived in Jerusalem? No, I say to you, But if you do not repent, you will all likewise be destroyed.” 255 Jesus Christ also provides us with advice concerning these unusual accidents, frequent accidents, and near accidents due to the evil of the times with the following passage from Matthew 6:34 “Then do not be anxious for tomorrow. For tomorrow will be anxious of itself. Sufficient to each day is its own trouble.” In the spring of this year, I decided that a dilapidated fence surrounding our backyard needed replacement. New wood fencing was purchased and delivered to our residence when I applied a wood preservative to the fence and the supporting posts. Following the application of the preservative and to prevent the early decay of the posts, I dipped each supporting fence post into a bucket of tar to coat the lower end of the post with this substance prior to ground installment. After accomplishing this preparation, a family member offered to install this fence together with an acquaintance. Work on the fence was halted when it was recognized that the fence was being installed crookedly. By the autumn, two men were hired to install the remainder of the fence and realign and straighten the fencing that was installed crookedly. The agreed upon installation price was quickly increased due to a stated need by the men to purchase additional materials to accomplish the job. After providing a partial payment for about one quarter of the work accomplished and the extra money requested, the two men did not return to complete the job. By the spring of 2010, I contacted another business to have the majority of the fence installed. This company decided on by spouse and I to install the fence, requested a considerable sum of money upon the signing of the contract. I refused to disburse any money until work was accomplished and offered to pay the installers daily after work was completed for that day. The spokesman for the company informed me that this arrangement would necessitate an approval by another individual. The spokesman left our home that day but contacted me several days later to state that our payment terms would be accepted. The fence was then installed and straightened to spouses’ and my satisfaction. Later, in 2010 a small section of the fence was damaged by a storm. I telephoned the company who installed the fence to possibly accomplish this needed repair only to discover that the telephone number of this business had been disconnected with no forwarding telephone number offered. A popular apparent independent news source offered to readers a possibly prophetic statement spoken by Jesus Christ two millenniums earlier found in The Hebraic Roots Bible in Luke 10:18 that states: “And He said to them, I saw Satan falling out of Heaven as Lightening”. It was stated in the article that in ancient Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus Christ, that the word heaven in Aramaic is ubamah and the word lightening in Aramaic is baraq. The article implied that current President Barack Obama is the anti-Christ through the restating of Luke 10:18 to be “I saw Satan fall like baraq ubamah (pronounced the same as Barack Obama). After reviewing Luke 10:18, one was confused with this interpretation and so decided to replace the words heaven and lightning with ubamah and baraq in the true passage of Luke 10:18 to read as follows: And He said to them, I saw Satan falling out of ubamah as baraq. One may then interpret this passage as the removal of a satanic possession or mind control of the person. 256 After arriving home from Florida in 1999, I increasingly noticed a large number of retarded people being shuttled throughout the town and county in vans being driven on roadways. I wondered why suddenly and recently, there were so many mentally challenged people residing in this relatively small community. In later years and through internet research, I realized that perhaps some of these retarded people had mental retardation inflicted on them by others. In addition, I became aware during this year that normal preschool children whose parents had a low financial income were offered free nursery school for their children at a large preschool for mentally, intellectually, and physically disabled and challenged children. I remarked to spouse that normal preschool children would likely suffer from problems perhaps similar to the disabled children through attending class together with this group. The community of my residence lost a considerable number of people in the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center disaster. Therefore, and as of this date, community memorial ceremonies to honor these victims are annually scheduled for on or about, September 11. In reviewing the evidence and testimonies provided by many architects, it unequivocally appears that a conspiracy to destroy those buildings was enacted by others besides (in addition to) the obvious perpetuators of the plan. Building seven of the World Trade Center was destroyed several hours after the attacks by airplane on buildings one and two of the Trade Center. In addition, architects have repeatedly stated that two airplanes striking these buildings could not completely destroy these gigantic skyscrapers as they were destroyed. It has also been suggested by demolition experts that buildings one and two of the World Trade Center were imploded shortly after the airplanes struck the buildings through the use of incendiary devices that were installed in the buildings, prior to the airplanes striking these two buildings. Retrospective: Beware of disbursing large sums of money to hired workers prior to starting a job especially when the materials for a job have been acquired by the homeowner. Contemplate paying workers on a daily basis after portions of the job are accomplished to satisfy the hired help. One may also contemplate purchasing the materials by one’s self for a hired help job due to much corruption and fraud in the home repair and improvement industry. Older pre-teen and teenage children may be able to assist at preschools where disabled children are enrolled. Using normal preschool children to assist disabled preschool children is detrimental to both groups of children. It is one’s opinion that the World Trade Center attacks were used as a premise to start another immoral war or wars (perhaps even World War III). A return to abiding by The Ten Commandments, avoidance of Capital Sins, and Abominations would likely gain God’s favor and assistance in removing evil from positions of authority. Historical Accounts 2009: 74 An earthquake occurring on September 30 kills about one thousand people in Indonesia. Scientists claim on October 1 to have discovered the earliest human skeleton to date named Ardipithecus ramidus. Scientists discover thirty two planets outside of the Solar system by October 20. 257 Scientists have divulged on November 13 that water was discovered on the Moon. NASA launches a space photometer through the Kepler Mission to search for extrasolar planets in the galaxy of the Milky Way. Remarks: Some scientists continue to spend taxpayer money on inconsequential matters while many people on Earth are suffering and in need. 2010 This year I sent a charitable donation to a group after receiving interesting and pleasing “free” gifts in the mail from this group. For my birthday, the charitable group sent me a birthday greeting card. I was annoyed and wondered how this group discovered my birth date and also thought about other information that this group may have accumulated about me. Over the course of the years of my home and property confinement, I believed it necessary to maintain a daily schedule to provide for a sense of accomplishment, satisfactory mood, and disposition. With the arrival of granddaughter and on the days’ daughter worked, the early part of the day was scheduled to teach the child about shapes, alphabet letters and sounds, counting, vocabulary through story time, opposites, sorting, patterns, calendar, science topics, and religion for some examples. Granddaughter learned this preschool curriculum well and progressed nicely. I was pleased with the results of this instruction. At this time, I contemplated, investigated, and decided to home school granddaughter provided that daughter approves of this kind of instruction. After moving to Florida in 1995, I thought about home schooling daughter and son but due to the fact that we did not have internet service at that time, I was unaware of how to acquire different curriculum for this endeavor. The assumption was that textbooks and other materials were supplied by the school district to the homeschooling parent and so the only perceived benefit to this situation at that time was to remove daughter and son from potential adverse social situations in the public schools. Later, I discovered on the internet many accredited home school curriculums available for purchase. Combining this discovery with my own observations of granddaughter’s rapid progression with letter recognitions and sounds, arithmetic concepts, religion, and science and health curriculum, I decided that homeschooling would be of great benefit to granddaughter’s intellectual development. On the other hand, there were concerns about social skills regarding interactions between other children in her age group to provide for socialization and to prevent self centeredness. However, this concern was countered with the acknowledgement of possible attacks launched by evil in the schools against children (by other children or adults), in today’s immoral society. It would be ideal to instruct two or three other children of the same age to provide for socialization, empathy for others, and increased motivation in today’s age. Another thought considered was that perhaps granddaughter would not be prepared to survive in an evil society after completing years of home school studies. It is a pity that a parent should have to consider this circumstance. Also, when reviewing assessment requirements for home schooled students in the State of New York, I realized that some immoral curriculum would be necessary to teach to granddaughter in order for her to pass the secular school tests thus subjecting her to evil influences. A possible solution to this problem is 258 to establish home school assessment tests created by a home school council. Likewise, parochial school evaluations and assessment tests should be created by parochial school councils to eliminate the need for some immoral instruction that is necessary to pass required secular school tests. Some people may be interested in reading an article found on the internet at this time titled “Home Schooled Students Excel in College” at http://www.hslda.org/docs/nche/000000/00000017.asp . It would be interesting to investigate how many students in this study had a comprehensive religious education home schooled experience and how they fared after completing college. Following teaching time with granddaughter, about one hour was spent outdoors regardless of weather and temperature with the exception of rain. Lunch was provided to granddaughter followed by an afternoon children’s show on DVD or VHS format. These children’s shows were for the most part selected by me. Most of the shows purchased, I thought to be of adequate moral content. Some shows selected were discarded after viewing due to extreme evil content. Broadcast television was not watched by granddaughter at our home. By the time granddaughter was nearing her fifth birthday, she began pointing out to me violations of The Ten Commandments depicted in some children’s shows. I thought this discerning by granddaughter to be a positive development. Usually either during or shortly following the children’s show, granddaughter napped for about two hours. I would like to mention at this time granddaughter’s requirements for sleep were largely comparable to an adult’s schedule. She slept throughout her five years of age about eight hours a night with a one and a half to two hour nap in the afternoon. I do not know if this abnormal sleep pattern for a baby and toddler is currently prevalent throughout the society or not (young children usually require twelve hours of sleep at night in addition to a nap). Perhaps others may desire to research this perceived anomaly. While granddaughter napped, small household tasks were accomplished. Following her nap and seasonally dependent (due to time changes and daylight) she played outdoors. Afterwards, dinner was served, preparation for bed was accomplished, another children’s show was viewed, and bedtime determined by her degree of tiredness, was usually between 8:00 to 8:30 pm. The summer time was more relaxed regarding preschool instruction as we spent more time outdoors. On the days daughter was off from her job, extensive cleaning, yard work, or perhaps household repairs or maintenance were scheduled. Our home was thoroughly cleaned twice annually through the moving of furniture. This heavy duty cleaning usually required several weeks of my time to accomplish. I was never disappointed with the amount of dust that accumulated behind and under furniture over a six month period. To provide for the anticipation of a somewhat different and leisurely activity, family birthday events were celebrated with much more fanfare than in the years prior to my home confinement. By following this schedule and routine, it unexpectedly seemed that the years went by more quickly than ever before experienced in my former more active, adventuresome, and at times hectic life. However, I did experience much frustration due to this considerable personal sacrifice inflicted on me by evil doers within the society. This congenial schedule was basically abandoned by this year due to the decision to write this book at this time. As I was pre-occupied with the taking of many notes throughout a two year period in preparation for this project, many other tasks fell by the wayside. But I realized that unless this explanatory book was written, I would not be able to help my family choose the path of righteousness 259 and morality because of the ever increasing immorality within the society that they would be surrounded with and subjected to on a daily basis. I also asked myself the questions of how much is my family worth? How much are acquaintances worth? And how much are neighbor’s worth who I define as populations of people throughout the world. The answers to these questions further prompted and dedicated me to this extensive and considerable project. One major concern of mine during the course of writing this book was the necessary need to occupy granddaughter. Although most of this book was written during daughter’s days off and during the night, to present this book in a timely fashion, some days required book writing while granddaughter was under my care. Much to my chagrin, children’s DVD’s and VHS shows were relied upon by me more than under ordinary circumstances. However, and to contradict incomplete scientific research that states “Children should not be watching more than four hours of television daily”, (for one example read “Mental Health Deteriorates with Increased Television Viewing” posted at this time on the internet.) 75 I counter with the question of content. Is one hour of extremely violent television more detrimental to children than four hours for example of educational or moral television? When the questions of programming content are related to the time spent watching television are answered, then legitimate conclusions can be drawn regarding television viewing. During this year one became increasingly aware of the damages inflicted on other people through “social networking” on the internet. Private information divulged, lies, harassment, persecution (bullying), defamation of character, and other attacks launched by some people against other people abounded through this form of public communication. Some people who were the targets of others were destroyed in various ways through psychological distress which lead to suicides, murders, and the destruction of personal relationships, job losses, and physical illnesses including damages to the brain for some examples which once again serve the purposes of evil to gain more wealth, more power, and more control over people. It is also important to note that this form of communication likely involves participants in the violation of at least two Commandments being Thou shall not covet and Thou shall not bear false witness against neighbors which renders social networks immoral because of the way the networks are used by a substantial number of people. People should seriously consider abstaining from the use of these forms of communication until people understand how to communicate in a public forum. Also, it is unusual that social forums do not charge a subscription fee. Have people wondered how the social forum business can continue to function without an income. Perhaps social forum businesses earn their money through an unknown network where money is funneled into these organizations for destructive reasons. The responsibility for paying the bills to include the review of credit card charges was relegated as a responsibility of mine, after a twelve year hiatus partially due to spouses’ at times, hectic schedule. Through the review of charges, one recognized several unauthorized charges to our credit card. Some of these charges were for small amounts of money (twenty dollars and below) where one realized that some busy people would likely just pay the bill and not question these small charges to the credit card company thus permitting the thievery to continue. Also, and by 2013 bills were received containing charges for services not rendered. For two examples, a utility company charged a substantial cancellation fee when services were discontinued because the promised lower utility rate was false. On 260 another occasion spouse cancelled an appointment at the last minute due to unforeseeable job circumstances. A large bill was delivered because of this situation. One contacted both businesses where it was stated that these corrupt bills would not be paid. In winter and after a snowstorm, granddaughter and I frequently ventured outdoors to toboggan from a hill on our front property. As granddaughter tobogganed down the hill, I was reminded of the anxiety experienced with daughter and son regarding this activity years earlier because of the location of trees at the base of the hill. This apparatus together with like apparatuses marketed for children’s use do not contain a steering mechanism. Over the years, one read stories in the news about people and especially children who were killed or seriously injured when their uncontrollable toboggan or “saucer” crashed into a tree, causing head injuries to the riders of these apparatuses. Is it possible to attach a steering mechanism to this snow gliding equipment? By the third week of October, I began writing this book beginning with the end of the book. With many unorganized notes in hand, I organized and sorted through these for topic relevance. Articles copied over a several year period were also referenced as well as, and to a lesser degree, books read because the information contained in these books was known. I began writing with the Commentary on Attire and Body Art partially due to the problems of finding respectable clothing at a reasonable price for young granddaughter. I was also aware of how fashion attire digressed, deteriorated, and became extremely immoral over the course of about twenty five years. I recognized this phenomenon together with the promotion of body desecrations as occult generated in their attempts to consume the society through immorality. As usual, the occult targets the youth of a society probably because they are most impressionable and are willing to try “something different or new”, among other reasons. At this time in my life, I was awakened to how manipulative psychology was used against the population, including myself to achieve the personal goals of evil doers (wealth, power, and control over the people) within the society. Several examples of some of the psychological methods evil employs to convert the population to immorality were written in the Commentary on Manipulative Psychology. News stories in the mainstream media became increasingly disturbing regarding murders, suicides, and serious injuries of students occurring either off campus or on the premises of universities and colleges. Combining my college and university experiences of my youth and books read with today’s profound campus immoralities, the Commentary on University Calamities was written to suggest an evil conspiracy designed to inflict harm on the youth through the extensive promotion of immorality. I recognized that many and a wide variety of illnesses were consuming the population of people including the young. Several possible reasons for this anomaly were discussed in the many Commentaries presented. One reason cited for the increasing health problems of people was poor nutrition. The Commentary on Artificial Vitamins and Real Nutrition was written to alert the people of a concerted effort by evil to weaken them. Suggestions and advice were offered to improve the diet of the population of people and to assist in eliminating the health problems of individuals. I also believed it necessary to point out the increasing obsessive behavior of many people. Moderation of behaviors is lost in an immoral society. One type of obsessive behavior can manifest itself with compulsive game playing. Therefore, the Commentary on Games was written to alert the people to this diversionary, distractive, and possibly 261 physically damaging tactic used by evil to obtain their goals of wealth, power, and control over people leading to population demise and obliteration. Another more dangerous obsession creating substantial mental health problems in people is that of pornography. The mechanisms used by evil to engage many people in these Capital Sin’s of lust and likely anger and possible Abominations were discussed in the Commentary on Pornography. In November, the Commentaries on Family, Drugs, Electoral System, Environmentalism, Economy, Remedies, and Secular Education were written. Throughout the past thirty years or so, evil has created situations to harm individuals emotionally, psychologically, economically, socially, and physically through attacks against the primary and extended family. The Commentary on Family provides some examples of the devices implemented by evil to destroy the family for evil’s own gain of wealth, power, and control over the population which eventually results in the complete demise of the society. A return to the following of biblical morality by family members would assist in reducing evil within the society. In an immoral society various coping mechanisms are relied on by many people. Some coping mechanisms are positive while others are harmless, less harmful, and harmful. For examples a positive coping mechanism is praying to God perhaps with no particular request in mind as God knows a person’s concerns. A harmless way to cope with stress due to societal immoralities for example is to walk in the outdoors. A less harmful way to cope with societal immoralities is to perhaps ingest a few glasses of wine at the end of the day. This coping mechanism however requires discipline to avoid harmful alcoholism. A harmful way to cope with societal immoralities is through drug use. The Commentary on Drugs addresses this problem together with examples of other more serious crimes that drug use perpetuates. The Commentary on the Electoral System suggests the root of societal problems. To remove some of the evil doers in authority positions within the society, the election system should be legitimized. A suggestion on a way to legitimize voting was presented in this Commentary. The Commentary on Environmentalism was written to enlighten the people to the harm being inflicted on them by evil doers through the ever increasing introductions of toxins emitted into the environment which includes the human body. The hope is that through increased awareness of toxic attacks by evil that people will be better able to protect themselves from environmental poisons through the refusal and rejection of participation or involvement in activities, procedures, practices, applications, and technologies that are dangerous to one’s health. The Commentary on the Economy was written to present some examples on how the economy is corrupt. The root cause of many economic problems more than likely rests with the Federal Reserve (and other connected world banks), where evil doers always earn wealth regardless of the prosperity or poverty of the population of people. In an immoral society the “dictators” of the economy can prevent all people from sustaining a living wage through tyranny. Social policies are also “dictated” by the evil doers of the banking system. Suggestions to fundamentally rectify this situation were offered in the Commentary on the Economy. Through research, I came to the conclusion that a considerable number of remedy specialists are agents of evil who should be removed from their positions of authority. It is obvious that an extensive review of all remedy practices, procedures, and prescriptions is necessary. This review should be initiated and implemented by moral and religious people who are knowledgeable in remedial fields. Examples of 262 remedy abuses were cited in the Commentary on Remedies. The Commentary on Secular Education provided several examples of the vast immoralities occurring in the secular public schools together with remedial advice and possible solutions to problems. Further information and many more examples of the destructive nature of public secular schooling can be found in this abridged autobiography and in the books shown in the resource section of 2006 and the bibliography shown at the end of this book. It is more than obvious through the presentation of much evidence that evil is destroying the youth of this country (and perhaps world), through immoral indoctrination in the public schools. In December, the Commentaries on Public Welfare, Mass Media, and Tyranny were written. The Commentary on Public Welfare discusses a system that is self perpetuating to the recipients of welfare and does not provide sufficiently for the self reliance of the welfare recipient. The people relying on welfare for sustenance should realize that accepting money and services (especially with no exchange of work) from evil sources, subjects those individuals to added societal influences of evil. Suggestions were presented to solve some of the problems of the welfare system. In contemplating all of the good, moral, sane, educational, and religious programs that could be presented to the population of people through mass media, one can easily become outraged over the current status of programming and written content of much of mass media. It should be noted that television, in and of itself, may be in violation of Commandment II as stated in The Hebraic Roots Bible Exodus 20:4 as follows: “You shall not make a graven image for yourself, or any likeness in the heavens above, or in the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth;”. The Ten Commandments were cited in this Commentary on Mass Media to basically inform the population of people on the machinations evil uses through mass media to engage many people in immoralities. The last commentary written during this year was the Commentary on Tyranny. The horror of this situation was briefly explained through a short history provided to the reader with a few examples of the implications of this depraved state of the society. Retrospective: It is likely that the charitable group sending the birthday greeting card was violating the Commandment that states Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s house. Examining The Ten Commandments for today’s society could answer questions like the above. During times of emotional and/or psychological stress, one should occupy one’s time to focus on other less stressful topics and activities to provide for the continued functioning of self and family. Organization and a clean environment contribute positively to one’s mood when under stress or confinement. A preoccupation with accomplishing one task causes considerable frustration and exasperation with other tasks deemed to be less important but necessary to accomplish as well. Beware of some of the previews of other movies shown in parentally approved children’s DVD and VHS format shows. Some movie previews of other children’s shows depict evil thus exposing the child to evil. By November, I realized the content of each Commentary was one part of a larger puzzle. The best way I thought to express this concept was to present each Commentary in a debatable hierarchy within a triangular pyramid depicting the eye of evil at the top in a position of authority promoting, directing, and causing evil within the society with the assistance of other evil doers and potential evil doers within the society. 263 Historical Accounts 2010: 76 The tallest building in the world opens in the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates on January 4. An earthquake kills over two hundred and thirty thousand people in Haiti on January 12. An earthquake in China kills more than two thousand people on April 13. The largest oil spill in history occurs in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20. The human genetic identification project discovers on May 7 that Neanderthals and human beings may be genetically related. Heavy rain kills more than one thousand six hundred people in Pakistan by July 29. Antimatter is captured in the Hadron accelerator in CERN Switzerland on November 19. NASA: As a member of The International Space Station, NASA together with other members achieves the longest duration of a human occupation of space measured at eleven years seventy two days. Spain defeats the Netherlands to win the world soccer cup. Remarks: A devastating oil spill wreaked havoc on the fragile ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico and its’ shorelines. It appears that scientists can genetically identify people living today back to eighty thousand years ago. The disappearance of people, places, and things becomes more plausible through the containment of anti-matter. One has noticed through the review of historical data that large commercial airplane crashes that were numerous over the past twenty five years or so have been greatly reduced in the recent few years. 2011 In early January, the Commentary on Abortion was written. A brief history on how abortion has affected societies from ancient to modern times was generally addressed with the hope that people would further investigate this gross immorality to gain more specifics and details concerning the demise of past societies largely due to abortion. One can tie together the rise of the occult Illuminati and illuminated Communists with the gradual introduction of birth control which led to the eventuality of rampant abortion which was promoted by this group to populations of people throughout the world to amass wealth, power, and control over the people. In the early years of this dastardly plan, Russia was likely chosen as a “world base” for the illuminated Communists because Russia was the largest country in the world. Tyranny for the Russian people began almost immediately in 1920 (the year of rampant abortion approval) which was shortly after the illuminated Communists assumed power in this land (1917). It was suggested in this Commentary that to gain the most wealth, power, and control over populations of people that a deceptive murder policy be promoted to populations of people otherwise a birth control program for men would have been established. Although a birth control program for men would be 264 considered an Abomination, it is a lesser crime than murder (abortion) thus resulting in less wealth, power, and control over people by the occult. One can also easily understand that proclaimed “environmentalists” who were apparently concerned about “too many people on the planet” and who promoted abortion, were deceiving people. Why did the “environmentalists” not establish and promote a birth control program for men? Reread the above hypothesis and possible reason. By early February, questions regarding The Ten Commandments for Today’s society were written. Throughout the writing of the Commentaries and this book, I recognized the critical need of the population to not only return to abiding by these Ten Laws of God but to also reexamine the Laws and to apply these Laws to today’s modern society. A diagram has been presented at the end of this book to suggest The Responsibility for Interpreting The Ten Commandments for Today’s Society. Throughout the writing of the Commentaries and book manuscript thoughts, observations, occurrences, suggestions, and advice were presented in Just Thoughts. This Commentary in particular is likely to expand from the presentation of the book manuscript to the official published version of this book. By the second week of February, the completed Commentaries were put into PDF format and e-mailed to the website company hosting consequencesofabortion.com to add to the original website. Additionally, a paper copy was sent priority mail to the website company’s mailing address. Shortly after adding the “Book Excerpts” title to the website that contained the Commentaries, I noticed errors and missing text. I contacted the website company about these problems which were promptly corrected. I stated to spouse that I understood that PDF format could not be changed or manipulated, and yet it apparently was with this addition. The implications of my experience are significant for many other people. Can PDF format be changed or put in another format where changes or omissions to text can be done? Also, can websites be manipulated or changed by outside others? An e-mail sent to me by the website company regarding this new addition of “Book Excerpts” when opened, contained a virus that was not contained by our current antivirus protection service and so rendered our computer damaged. Eventually some of this damage was circumvented by a knowledgeable technician hired by me to correct the computer problems. By early April, the paper copies of the Commentaries sent to the website company were returned to me by the postal service as undeliverable as addressed and unable to forward. By March, attempts were initiated to begin writing this book but attacks by evil prevented me from this endeavor until finally I was able to start the writing of this book in earnest during the last week of July. While in the process of re-reading the Book of Jeremiah in The Bible, I also began investigating the Human Genome project. With Divine assistance, I was awakened to the likely horror and the dire consequences of genetic identification technology. At this juncture, I realized that I had not included a vital Commentary in the “Book Excerpts” added to consequencesofabortion.com in February 2011 so the Commentary on Genetic Identification was written and is included with this book manuscript. To present the book in the most understandable and comprehensive format, I decided to organize this abridged autobiography by year. To inform the reader of my background, a short history of my family was presented. I believe that current events affect the lives of all individuals therefore several selected historical references for each year were presented to the reader to provide a focus. For the most part, these selected accounts were based on horrific natural disasters, new technological developments and 265 scientific inventions and discoveries for the reader to perhaps analyze further. A retrospective containing a current personal interpretation of each year was also included to inspire reader discussion. Remarks on the historical accounts were posted to initiate and inspire a combined effort by many individuals to interpret and draw conclusions about specific kinds of current events and then realize the implications of these for society. I became disgusted with a kitchen soap dish because water drained into the dish after using soap, scouring cloths, and steel wool pads. These items sat in the drained water and would quickly disintegrate. I decided to search the internet for a soap dish constructed of any material where a drain system was part of the soap dish purchase. Many soap dishes for a reasonable price were found but they contained no drain. Soap dishes with drains were available but were expensive as most cost above $15. Finally, a ceramic soap dish with a removable raised wooden slated drain was found for about $10. I still considered this price to be expensive for a soap dish but at least the problem was resolved. Another complaint and pet peeve of mine was the recommended temperature to bake some frozen prepared food products. I recognized that if one followed the instructions on the packaging for baking, this resulted in a burnt food product. I solved this problem by lowering the oven temperature by at least twenty five to fifty degrees from the stated temperature on the package. I also was annoyed at the lack of standardization of toothbrush handles. Prior to the 1990’s most all toothbrush handles fit inside toothbrush holders that were placed around a ceramic cup holder which was installed in most bathrooms at the time of a home’s construction. Today’s toothbrush handles due to their wide width, required the necessity to purchase a free standing toothbrush holder thus cluttering one’s bathroom vanity. The lack of a window crank option on the purchase of a new automobile was also found to create significant aggravation in the later years of a car’s ownership. The electric window opener notoriously faulted after several years of use thus requiring expensive repairs to be accomplished after being subjected to inclement weather entering one’s automobile. I also increasingly noticed that weather reporting throughout approximately a twenty year time frame regarding the amount of rain received in an area, was in extreme error. After raining an entire day for example, it was reported in some cases that one quarter of an inch of rain fell. Initially, I believed this grossly inaccurate measurement. Later and after viewing rain filled gardening pails left outside in the yard, I realized that some weather men and women were providing the public with false measurements. At other times it was reported that the day was cloudy when one could view bright sunshine outdoors. I began to wonder if weather men and women looked out of a clear glass window. I concluded that perhaps they were basing their forecasts on erroneous technological data provided by computers or they were violating God’s Laws. In the morning of the late autumn of 2010, spouse and granddaughter were sitting on a sofa in our backyard sun porch room when suddenly a raccoon ran out from underneath a backyard structure. The raccoon then proceeded to run up the stairs of our backyard deck and began scratching at the glass sliding door of the room while showing its’ sharp teeth in an attempt to gain entry into our house before quickly turning around and departing the area. After spouse and granddaughter explained this story to me as I was unavailable to witness this unusual occurrence, I believed the animal to have rabies. Concerned for my family, children, and neighbors living in the area, I decided to telephone the animal control office in 266 town. No one was available to take my call so a message was left. At about noon time, the animal control officer returned my telephone call and I explained this situation to the officer. The animal control officer explained to me that wild animals sometimes attempt to gain entry into a home when the weather becomes cold. I stated that raccoons are nocturnal animals and that this kind of unnatural behavior was indicative of a rabid animal. The animal control officer reiterated the above explanation that chilled animals sometimes seek a warm area to inhabit during cold spells and also stated to me that if this happens again that I should first telephone the police. Not wishing to argue a probable rabies virus infecting this animal and after concluding the telephone call, I stated to spouse that I think every incident that occurs in this town regardless of subject matter, must first be reported to the police by the citizen. These short stories and vignettes have been presented as examples of the neglect of basics in the society as “higher order thinking skills” are promoted and advanced to the population by evil doers which results for many people in increased stupidity, satisfying a goal of the occult. So, one could state that the more technologically advanced a society becomes, the more that basic foundations crumble leading to a general lack of common sense in the population of people. Certainly, the abandonment of abiding by The Ten Commandments and/or the engagement in Capital Sins and Abominations are the deciding factors of this statement. In a moral society, technology is combined with a thinking human being’s observations and calculations to arrive at legitimate conclusions. During the summer, a visit was paid to our home by an acquaintance of a family member. The occupation of the visitor was that of a nurse who worked at a city hospital. This person informed me through a discussion that the same women repeatedly procured abortions at this hospital. I realized at that time that perhaps a relatively few mentally ill women are responsible for not only the mass murder of their children but are also likely responsible for perpetuating other gross immoralities against others living within the society through these abortions. In addition, abortions occurring at hospitals throughout the world are largely ignored by the pro life movement, while independent abortion clinics are focused on for closure by these groups. Granddaughter stated to me one afternoon that she was about to eat a cookie and remarked that this cookie was a dog biscuit cookie. After showing me this cookie, I stated that this was not a cookie but a dog biscuit. She laughed and showed me the bag of cookies newly marketed by a popular snack food manufacturer for human consumption that appeared to be exact replicas of dog biscuits. At that point, I had a discussion with granddaughter on how this immoral deception could result in illnesses for children as food safety requirements are different for people than for animals. Many times animal food products are stored on the floors of possibly dirty warehouses prior to packaging. If a child is confused between the dog biscuit cookie and a dog biscuit, that child is at risk for acquiring a physical illness. Other children who are eating “dog biscuit cookies” are at risk for mental illness. A concern in our community and probably other communities throughout the United States is the increasing problem of pedophiles. In our community and under law, citizens are continually notified of the residences and resident address changes of pedophiles. A disturbing story written in the local newspaper reported that a father and his two children, a boy and a girl visited a nearby shopping mall to 267 view a movie. After the movie, the father’s young daughter required to use the lavatory. The girl entered the ladies room only to be molested by a man waiting inside this facility. Due to the vast immoralities of the society, a possible solution to this increasing problem is to provide a children’s lavatory for parental accompaniment at places where this is feasible. Approximately twenty five years ago I acquired a children’s book for daughter and son at a yard sale titled “Three Big Hogs” by Manus Pinkwater. This book is an amusing story about three domestic hogs who were cared for by a farmer who one day stopped feeding them. The three pink hogs then set out to find food but soon realized that if they remained in the neighborhood, they would become food. So they ventured into the woods and foraged for themselves. Within a short period of time they grew long hair on their bodies and grew tusks on their heads becoming wild boars which adapted them to be able to survive in this wild environment. Prior to obtaining internet service, I wondered if this situation was true of domestic animals that escaped into the wild. Years later and after rereading this story to granddaughter the same question resurfaced and piqued my interest. So now with internet service one discovered that some domestic animals do revert back to a wild state in nature provided they are able to survive long enough in a wild environment until these “evolutionary” changes are accomplished. Because of this fact, the theories of evolution as one believed and understood this discipline in the past, one now realized at this time to be completely false. Also one has noted “evolutionary” changes in people over recent years. Some people known to me appear differently than in the past. For examples eyes have changed from round to almond shaped, lips have changed from thick to thin, noses have changed from smaller to large or rounded to pointy etcetera. During the course of this year, one became aware of a program where law enforcement officials could purchase a home for half the asking price through a special program where the only requirement was that the officer reside in the home for three years before re-selling the house. One wondered aloud and questioned to family who was paying for this program. One then surmised that likely taxpayers were subsidizing this exceptional offer to officers of the law. As most can realize, the above is another example of corruption. In the spring and after acquiring and working at a “job” for several months that cost son, spouse, and I money as no money was earned at this “job” and expenses were incurred by son, son sought another job. I stated to son that working for any legitimate company where a salary was paid to him would be fine except for one particular corporation in the United States that I believed to be especially destructive. His resume was posted on line where several contacts from potential employers inquired of him further. Within a few days after stating to son that I did not want him working for this perceived destructive corporation, son was contacted by this company for an interview. After a few interviews, he was hired. Silently, I recognized this to be another attack by evil. Shortly, and within a few months after learning many of the corporate procedures concerning this job, son was dismissed from this “job” causing him a considerable emotional upset and distress. 268 Retrospective: Some people gain a tremendous amount of wealth through the murdering of other people and this includes the murder of the unborn human being. By the way, this wealth is likely acquired through a sanctioned system of stealing from other people (and perhaps murdering other people), including moral and religious people. Why was there almost a two month long duration between sending the paper copies of the Commentaries through the post office to the website company (located about thirty miles from our home) and then returning them to our address in April, as undeliverable? Law enforcement should trace those people who are sending viruses to other’s computers and then prosecute these evil doers. After the posting of the Commentaries the website consequencesofabortion.com was transferred to another web hosting and design company. Tinted glass yields a distorted view of the outdoors. Beginning in the 1970’s, one noticed a progression throughout the years of the absence of storytelling that was usually delivered by older family members to teach others about various situations of life. This has lead to the younger generations experiencing many types of avoidable problems because they were not forewarned through the one means of storytelling. Experience may or may not be the “best teacher” and the “school of hard knocks” is evil in intent. Evil believes people are animals and diligently attempts to treat them as such. Evil desires to inflict much psychological damage on others and has gained an influence over people and is dictating to them through Satan. Historical Accounts 2011: 77 It is reported on January 11 that over nine hundred people are killed in flooding and mudslides in Brazil. An earthquake and tsunami on March 11 kills about twenty thousand people in Japan. The first artificial organ transplant occurs in Sweden on July 7. It is reported on September 24 that about three thousand people are killed in a Syrian uprising. More than one thousand people are reported killed in floods in the Philippines on December 16. NASA: A spacecraft photographs a substance resembling water on Mars. Remarks: Scientists are constructing artificial organs for transplant into human beings. The earthquake and tsunami in Japan occurred near a nuclear power plant resulting in damage to the plant and the subsequent releasing of dangerous radiation into the environment. 2012 By the third week of January, one was relieved to realize that I had included a triangular chart that libeled me for an infringement of the licensing agreement of Microsoft Corporation. Because I used their purchased software templates and an eye logo for a chart in “Book Excerpts” offered freely in the original consequencesofabortion.com I recognized after reading the licensing agreement carefully one realized that when offering this book for sale that this chart could not be used. At this juncture, 269 questioned the legality of this licensing agreement especially regarding templates. For example, if one purchases actual templates to be used to possibly earn money, the manufacturer of the templates obviously cannot litigate against the purchaser of their product or perhaps now they can. I contemplated hiring a graphic artist to design the charts and diagram but due to fears of possible attacks by evil against this person (read 2002) I decided to do the graphics myself. The book (initial offering) was completed by the fifth week of January and prepared to be placed on consequencesofabortion.com. Due to the abridged autobiography’s inclusiveness, the original website was removed and replaced with the (incomplete) manuscript of the book. At about this time, one confirmed contemplated plans regarding potential sales of the published version of “Dinner at My House” “An Abridged Autobiography of the Years 1958 through 2013” by Barbara Nikonoff. It should be noted for clarification purposes that one initially selected for the original posting of the incomplete book in February 2012, a pen surname for privacy considerations and to exacerbate the fact that most likely all individual’s surnames are false due to extremes of coveting launched against “married couples” through the use of technology beginning in 1920. Later, and by 2013 the decision was made to use one’s legal surname in presenting the completed book to prevent future confusion regarding the authorship of this book. Profits received from the sale of the book will be designated for a worldwide print media advertising campaign to hopefully educate as many people as possible, through the reading of this book. The content of the proposed public service message campaign will invite people to log onto consequencesofabortion.com to read “Dinner at My House” and hopefully place an order for the published book. As I realized over the course of about a decade and one half, some people do not share information so an advertising campaign to promote this book, would reach many of those people left uninformed and ignorant. For those people who were assisted or helped through the reading of the original website and/or this manuscript, (and one year later, completed book) the placing of an order or orders for this book will be appreciated. Also, this book is in one’s opinion is a life saving book. Through the purchase of this book, one will be helping others who will also be informed of the important information contained in this book that perhaps, based on sales, will be translated into several languages to help save others lives, through a worldwide media print advertising campaign (likely accomplished through highway billboards). In addition, this book offers helpful advice to young people establishing their homes for the first time (a great house warming gift). The book is also an important addition to add to one’s own personal library. The purchase of this book will also aid in eliminating eye strain due to the reading of the text on a computer screen online, which as most know, emits dangerous radiation. So, there are several good reasons for purchasing this book provided that one has the extra available funds to assist others and ones own self. On Friday, February 10, the (incomplete) manuscript was posted on the internet by a website company. I anticipated and expected preliminary orders to be placed over that weekend for an estimated July delivery of the published book. Preliminary orders confirmed an individual’s intent on purchasing the book through the providing of name, address, and contact information. No payment or deposit of money was requested at this time. I was disappointed when no orders were received on Friday and Saturday, February 10 and 11 and so I decided to check and test the preliminary order system 270 established by the website company by placing preliminary orders myself. No orders that I had tested were arriving in the email established in my home computer designated for preliminary book orders. Fearing that preliminary orders were lost, I telephoned and spoke with a representative of the website company on Monday February 13 about this problem. The website company’s representative checked the system and informed me of an error where orders were sent into the email address of the website company. It was at this time that I was informed that no preliminary orders were posted in the website company’s email for the intended purchase of this book. This error was promptly corrected and testing confirmed that preliminary orders sent by purchasers would arrive at an email address established for book orders to my home computer on February 13. More than nine weeks transpired where the official published book was offered for sale. Incredulously, not one preliminary order was placed for the published version of this manuscript on the worldwide internet. I then recognized that it strongly appears that some people cannot earn an independent living or perhaps any living because potential patrons of businesses are being prevented by evil forces in the society from purchasing the products and services of some people living in this world (an obvious tyranny and occult situation). Perhaps another reason for no orders procured is because I refuse to pray to “God” for materialistic requests (such as the procuring of sales of a product) as I believe this to be indirectly stealing from people through a kind of “mind control”. In a religious and moral society people decide for themselves regarding the purchases of products and services. Also recognize that this was my second attempt to earn money to be largely used for an educational campaign to assist in ending abortion and in restoring religious morality to the United States and other countries around the world. Read 2002 for further information regarding the first endeavor. These two situations that I have experienced I interpret for myself and others in like situations, as indirectly stealing large sums of money from some or select groups of people who have invested money, other wealth, and time in businesses and other job endeavors that were apparently doomed to failure from the onset due to occult interference and attacks against some people by evil doers. As a matter of fact, the above situations inspired and prompted me to reflect on other overt and unusual financial circumstances that have occurred to spouse and I in the past that I now also believe (in addition to the above) to be corruption in the form of stealing from some people for the purposes of redirecting the stolen money to others who are perhaps asking or demanding of additional wealth through possible requests to Satan or through requests made for additional wealth to evil doers in positions of authority. For some examples, in the 1980’s, I completed and filed income tax returns for our family. On one return in the second half of the 1980’s, I neglected to take a deduction of State income tax paid, off of our federal return. I realized this mistake incurred to the advantage of the Internal Revenue Service the following year, after making this error. No refund for this obvious error was returned to us. Later, in the early 1990’s another small error was made on income tax to our advantage. The Internal Revenue Service quickly notified and charged spouse and I for this error plus interest charges. By 1993, spouse and I hired an accountant to complete our income tax returns which the accountant does to this present day. Shortly after being attacked by evil in 1999, the Internal Revenue Service charged spouse and me an exorbitant sum of money in 1999 apparently owed for back taxes which under ordinary and normal circumstances, I would have challenged. Also, during the 1990’s, spouse and I owned shares of stock in a major, conservative United States corporation. The price of 271 shares of stock in this corporation steadily increased and dividends were paid to shareholders. Suddenly, abruptly, and unexpectedly the stock plummeted resulting in many shareholders including ourselves to lose money invested. A short time later, the corporation reestablished itself in the same line of business with a new name and new owners. One can attest to this personally as I was employed by one corporation that was part of a large corporate park. The corporation in which spouse and I owned shares also had offices contained in this corporate park of my employ. When the original company declared bankruptcy, the new company assumed their office space, changed their name, repainted corporate vans previously owned by the former corporation, and was involved in the same line of business as the previous corporation. In retrospect, I believe the money invested by many people was redirected to some people through a sanctioned form of stealing that also involves other immoralities lodged against possibly objecting individuals to this system, and other corruption. Due to these kinds of apparent corrupt circumstances, religious and moral people who follow and abide by The Ten Commandments and avoid Capital Sins and Abominations may consider expressing concerns to God regarding perceived wealth stolen from them. Some people may desire to ask God as judge, to have the perhaps stolen wealth returned to them by those who stole the wealth, as part of serving justice. This request is likely based on whether or not individuals were or currently are, asking or demanding of materialism which also likely includes the requesting or demanding of certain job positions. For granddaughter’s birthday, spouse and I desired to purchase a United States savings bond to be hopefully used for granddaughter’s future needs as a young adult. Spouse was informed at the bank that savings bonds could no longer be procured through United States banks as of December 2011 for this circumstance and could only be purchased on the internet, with no paper bond issued to the recipient of the bond. I was perturbed with this new system as many people who do not have internet service most likely would no longer purchase savings bonds thus eliminating a substantial number of people who might otherwise purchase these bonds for children or grandchildren for examples. Due to the above fact, I have become suspicious of this apparent “low risk” investment because of the designed elimination of some investors. Spouse who barely and minimally attended dentists over the course of thirty years but still paid into a group dental insurance plan at his jobs over the years, required to have somewhat extensive dental restoration work accomplished on his teeth at this time. He was advised that insurance coverage for this year’s extensive dental treatment would not be completely covered under the annual benefit thus requiring spouse to postpone some dental treatment for next year. I stated to spouse that dental insurance benefits should roll over from year to year if not used by the insured during some or many years. In the autumn of 2011, daughter acquired a Quaker parrot through unusual circumstances. Daughter and granddaughter were visiting at mother and father’s home. Granddaughter was playing outside in the backyard when the Quaker parrot flew close to granddaughter and remained on a low branch of a tree. Granddaughter ran inside of the house to report this “strange” bird to her mother and great grandparents. Daughter hurried into the backyard and quickly captured this somewhat tame and leg 272 banded, tropical bird. Daughter contacted the authorities to inquire if this bird was reported missing by its’ owner. No one in the area reported a “lost bird”. Daughter purchased a large cage and decided to keep this bird as a pet. This bird has an impudent and somewhat nasty personality, attacks people and nips and bites on occasion, which led me to believe that the previous owner may have purposely released this pet bird into the chilly autumn climate. However, daughter and granddaughter believed the bird to be humorous and frequently removed the bird from the cage. One day, spouse viewed the bird sitting on granddaughter’s shoulder and relayed a story to her and daughter about a boy he once knew who owned a parrot that he would invite at times to perch on his shoulder. During the last invitation, the parrot removed the boy’s eye. Daughter was moving from one residence to another and was in transition while her new residence was undergoing repairs. During this repair process, daughter moved into our residence with some household items some of which were stored in our dining room together with her small pets to include a hamster, two parakeets, and a Quaker parrot. She also temporarily moved back into our home with her pet dog, a Boston Terrier. One “privately” complained to spouse that we would now be caring for four dogs to include our three dogs. Later that day and at about midnight, a family member informed me that our Golden Retriever dog acquired in 2002 and nine years old, was found dead in a room in our home. Arising from bed, one did not believe what I just heard but sure enough, our sweet tempered dog had died with no indication of an illness (the dog had completely eaten dinner earlier that evening and no pain was expressed). One was quite upset with this bizarre circumstance and believed this to be another attack launched by evil against our family. Early the next morning, family members brought the dog’s body to a local veterinarian for cremation. During this spring and over the course of the past twenty five years or so, I viewed Canadian geese once again flying above our home in a haphazard and disorganized way. Years ago and as a child, I always viewed Canadian geese in this area, flying in a well defined V formation. Beginning in the 1970’s, infant swings became a popular item to purchase for newborn and infant use. I noted that when using this contraption for our children as infants, a few concerning side effects were evident. One of our children appeared to be mesmerized and possibly hypnotized when placed in the swaying swing. Our other child was terrorized by this device and so was not placed in this apparatus after attempting a few trials. Granddaughter was never placed in an infant swing. Based on our family’s experiences with the infant swing, I have hypothesized that perhaps the infant swing negatively affects the sensitive and newly developing brains of infants. This hypothesis is worthwhile investigating by concerned others. I was reminded to include this information after reading a recent disturbing mainstream media story about an infant who was killed by the family dog while in an infant swing. It should also be noted that some dogs become highly agitated by swings. Our dog who otherwise has a good temperament with family members has tried to nip five year old granddaughter when she is using an outdoor swing so therefore the dog is confined when granddaughter is using this playground equipment. 273 By the fourth week of April, most of the above text of February 10 through to the end of April was emailed to and posted by the website company to inform others of the outcome of preliminary order placements for the published book version of this manuscript. In December, one began the completion of this manuscript. During the course of the remainder of this year, my focus was on accomplishing necessary home repairs and maintenance. The first project and most imperative was the installation of new sheetrock and tile surrounding the bath tub area of the lavatory. Over the past fifteen years, water damages were sustained to this area of our home due to what one considered to be the over use of the shower by family members. Years ago and in the 1960’s, few people cleansed their bodies through showering. Instead people bathed in the bathtub thus averting damages to the wall area surrounding the shower and bathtub. The tradesmen hired, completed this work in one day, charged a reasonable price, and I was satisfied with the workmanship. Later however, a modern dial like faucet installed created aggravation as filling the bathtub required moving the dial controlled by a lever from hot to cold at intervals to provide for an acceptable bath water temperature. At some point I plan to change this “innovative” dial faucet back to a two knob, hot and cold system where the water temperatures are combined upon exiting the faucet. Following the completion of this project, I installed a Styrofoam tile onto interior hall ceilings that showed imperfections. This tile was light weight, easy to cut and install, inexpensive, and resembled an old fashioned tin ceiling when painted. I also attached pennant lighting to old and outdated “high hat” fixtures in the halls. This innovative lighting did not require any rewiring. All that was necessary was to attach an electrical cord with a socket attachment from the old fixture to the new that resulted in an attractive, quaint appearance to the hallways and blended well with the “tin ceiling”. A tradesman was hired to attach molding between this ceiling and the walls which gave the halls a more elegant appearance. His partner repaired sheetrock in the areas of the house that had shown wear over the years where re-taping, spackling, and sanding was necessary. Through a discussion with these men, it was revealed that a lack of union jobs in the construction industry prompted them to seek independent work on their own. Later I stated to spouse that there is a need in our community and likely other communities in this nation and world for new affordable housing that could maintain jobs for a lengthy time for construction workers, and be of great benefit to many people. An idea for a specific kind of affordable housing likely pleasing to most, especially single people, young couples with perhaps one or two children, and the elderly is different than what is commonly offered and available and is written below as follows: Housing style: ranch built on a slab with no stairs to climb. Various options made available to people for exterior siding to express a person’s individuality Living area: modest sized to include a living room, dining room, comfortably sized kitchen with room to seat four to six people, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a laundry area Land area: small, self manageable lot of property (for example 50 feet to 75 feet by 100 feet) with a level fenced in backyard for children’s and pet’s safety and for privacy 274 Price: inexpensive in relation to other larger housing contained on bigger property lots in the area It is also convenient and prudent to position the front entrance of the house closest to the driveway for easier access when carrying into the house, groceries for one example. In conjunction with this affordable housing development idea, one would like to offer architectural ideas to reduce wasted living space within one’s home. Over the past years, one realized that two interior hallways leading to the bedrooms consumed much potential living area within our home. Should another architectural design been offered for construction workers to follow with a reduction of hallway space, spouse and I would easily have had an additional room in our home. Perhaps then the living room could serve as a homes’ focal point with doors leading from the living room to bedrooms. The concept of a small hallway foyer at the front entrance of the house is however desirable to probably many people because a foyer affords privacy to most of the interior of a home. In other words, people who call for another at the front door do not have a view of the living room or other areas of the home. In addition, one has found that having a lavatory in one’s master bedroom to be annoying. Showers, baths, and various odors can aggravate a spouse who is also in the room resting or sleeping. Also to provide for sound barriers from other rooms within the home, one may consider installing insulation between the interior walls as well as the exterior walls, at the time of the homes construction. Another tradesman changed old and unreliable for light delivery, recessed lighting fixtures in the kitchen. These were replaced with modern fixtures providing a “cleaner” appearance to the kitchen. The tradesman also rewired a non functioning hanging tiffany style lamp that provides extra light to the kitchen table. He also replaced other electrical outlets in the house that were no longer delivering electricity to lamps and appliances. After completing this maintenance and improvements, I repainted the kitchen, applied a new wall border and re-varnished the oak cabinets. Almost pleased with the new appearance of the kitchen, I stated to spouse that a new countertop may be needed as the old countertop clashed with the multicolored mosaic tiled wall behind the countertop. Realizing that a new countertop would be of a considerable expense, I searched the internet for tile paint where it was discovered that a waterproof tile, fiberglass, and porcelain paint did exist and was available for sale. The paint was purchased and applied to the tile where I was most pleased with the result. In addition to the above home projects, I repainted most of the rooms in the house with a fresh coat of paint. The sunroom that was installed on a backyard deck in 2002 began to leak rain water inside the room beginning in 2008 where the sunroom met and was joined to the house. Believing this to be a problem with a seal, an employee of the sunroom company who constructed the room was hired to hopefully fix this problem. The employee stated that there was a problem with the back roof and that a costly reconstruction of the roof was necessary to fix this problem. One stated that the room only began leaking in rain water in 2008, suggesting a cracking or problem with a seal between where the house ended and the sunroom began. The employee insisted there was a problem with a back section of the house roof but with my insistence of a seal problem, he apparently chalked the area between the roof and the sunroom for a considerable amount of money. Shortly thereafter and during a rainstorm the leaking was noted to be worse than before. Exacerbated, as I viewed puddles on the floor and furniture 275 leading to water stains on furnishings, I silently wondered what to do about this situation and worried about the next rainstorm. Then, through what I believe to have been divine intervention, one was told to retrieve from the garage a roll of heavy duty transparent plastic that was left here years ago by the former owner of the property. Forgetting about this roll of plastic, one questioned where it was stored or thought perhaps it was discarded. Checking in the garage, one was guided to the place where the roll was indeed located. At that time, I realized how to temporarily fix this problem using a stapler. Where the interior room met the house, the plastic was looped in half and stapled on either end of a fascia board where the leaking was occurring and where the house met the room. This solved the problem as rainwater was collected into this bag averting water dripping onto the floor and furnishings. Aesthetically this plastic bag appeared terrible however the problem was solved until a more permanent and inexpensive solution could be found. Discussing this situation with spouse, who was not interested in a more permanent and attractive solution to the problem, I realized that an interior gutter would be inexpensive and suitable however one did not know how to attach the gutter to the fascia board. Divine information then stated to me that two lengths of gutter should be purchased and joined and sealed together using waterproof silicon. Then through the use of hooks and chains the gutter could be supported by the one inch in width fascia board. The procedure was to attach one hook to the inside of the board and directly opposite another hook should be attached on the outside of the fascia board. The chain was then to be wrapped around the gutter for the support of the gutter. Determining that about a five hook and chain system would be required to support approximately a nineteen foot gutter, I telephoned two gutter installation businesses to install this apparatus. After arriving at our home and viewing the situation, both businesses told one that they could not do this simple solution to the problem but instead offered other very expensive solutions. Not wishing to argue, I wondered why they could not do what I asked. Discussing this with spouse, it was decided that I would try to install this system myself. After about two years of draining water out of the bag system, finally and by this year, a family member purchased two ten foot gutters, ten hooks, and five eighteen inch lengths of chains. After promptly adjusting the measurement and joining these gutters together with silicon and attaching one end cap with silicon on one side of the gutter, I attached the hooks to the fascia board. With spouse’s assistance, the gutter was hoisted up where then the chains were looped around the gutter and the links were attached to the hooks for supporting the gutter. The eighteen inch chains provided for adjustment so the water would not spill out from the open end used for draining. After a few rainstorms, spouse checked for an accumulation of water inside the gutter, but to our pleasant surprise it was discovered that all the water dripping into the gutter had evaporated. In the autumn, a chimney cleaning company was hired to clean out the flu of the fireplace and install a cap over the outside chimney to prevent snow and ice from freezing the damper shut, making it impossible to open during bitter cold weather. In the course of conversation with this tradesman, I discovered that the fireplace style in our home was known as an English fireplace, a style commonly constructed in the 1920’-1940’s. The way this fireplace is constructed yields much heat delivered to the interior of one’s home. This revelation was significant to me because people of my acquaintance would complain over the years that more heat escaped from their home when using their newer and more 276 modern fireplace. Perhaps the construction design of fireplaces should be revisited and investigated to provide people with the best design for delivering and not removing heat from one’s home. Also accomplished this autumn was the sealing of the outside driveway that was newly redone five years earlier. Gravel contained in the blacktop was beginning to loosen so this sealing was necessary to prevent damages to the asphalt. The business hired, did not collect payment after the completion of the job, but rather sent a bill in the mail. This was a positive development because tradesmen, through my experiences, usually expect to be paid immediately following the completion of a job, through the course of a job, or sometimes even before the job was begun. In May, one presented a catalog to daughter containing information on an excellent home school Kindergarten curriculum that I volunteered to teach to granddaughter. The curriculum offered an extensive and comprehensive number of books and other educational materials included for the child’s use listed as, four mathematics books, six reading books based on the phonics method, six religion books including a children’s Bible, two handwriting books, one science book and twenty nine science lessons on DVD’s, five art books, and two music CD’s. Although daughter liked the home school curriculum, she was concerned that granddaughter would become a loner and estranged from her peers so daughter decided to enroll granddaughter in the public school. Until June of 2012, granddaughter had only one immunization for Hepatitis B which was administered without permission granted by her parents, shortly after her birth. To prepare for public school requirements daughter consulted with granddaughter’s holistic oriented physician where special measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccines were ordered that did not contain cells derived from aborted human beings. Granddaughter was vaccinated with this “three in one” immunization together with a polio vaccine in June. After beginning school and in September, a telephone call was received by a school official stating that granddaughter needed additional immunizations against measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus otherwise she could not attend school. Daughter objected to immunizing granddaughter within just three months of receiving four vaccines. A school district official then contacted daughter’s job and spoke to her job supervisor about this circumstance but the supervisor remarked to daughter that granddaughter’s immunizations were not of his concern. Apparently after feeling further pressured, daughter had granddaughter immunized with the above vaccines. About a week after receiving these vaccines, granddaughter contracted the mumps. I was horrified and disgusted when one viewed granddaughter’s swollen neck. I spoke to a school official about this matter when one was told that this bout of mumps was not due to ten vaccines being administered too closely together but rather due to an unusual “wild” mumps strain. Through discussion and the examination of granddaughter’s school photograph, it became known to me that there were five boys and ten girls in her Kindergarten class. Questioning daughter on this gender anomaly I discovered that the other Kindergarten class in the school also contained five boys and ten girls. Thinking that perhaps this skewed two girls to one boy ratio was confined to this area, I decided not to give this odd circumstance not much further thought but stated to family that a normal gender distribution in a general classroom should be about an even number of boys and girls in any grade level. As school progressed, granddaughter informed me of a game played in school called “Poison Rope”. I asked her to explain this game to me when it was stated 277 that if the rope used in the game touched a Kindergartner, the child was “dead” and out of the game. I stated to spouse whatever happened to the game “Duck, Duck, Goose” that was played when I attended Kindergarten. On Thanksgiving Day while preparing our meal, I asked granddaughter for the reasons of this celebration. She stated to me that we celebrate Thanksgiving “to give thanks to the Indians for helping the Pilgrims”. I promptly corrected her and stated that we give thanks to God for inspiring the Indians to help the Pilgrims and give thanks to God for bestowing His daily blessings on us. Later that day, I received an email from a Christian ministry that discussed the true story of the first Thanksgiving that one was also left unaware of throughout my years of schooling. The story discussed a Paxuxets Indian from what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts named Squanto who was sold into slavery prior to the Pilgrims arriving in Plymouth. Squanto was brought to a slave trading port in Malaga Spain where he was rescued by Christian friars. The friars instructed him in the Christian faith prior to him joining with an Englishman travelling to London. In London, Squanto lived with a wealthy merchant where he learned to speak the English language. Later, Squanto joined a ships’ crew led by Captain Dermer who sailed to New England and dropped Squanto off in Plymouth. Shortly thereafter, the Pilgrims arrived in Plymouth sailing from Holland aboard an English ship. It is important also to note that the Pilgrims were not leaving Holland to escape religious persecution as stated in many school textbooks. The Pilgrims had already escaped religious persecution by leaving England to live in Holland. The reason they left Holland was to escape the decadent society that they realized their children were becoming immersed in. So, the Pilgrims left Holland to protect their children from the immoral influences of that society which were occurring at that time. To assist in hopefully changing the public school Thanksgiving Day curriculum, the following note together with the email sent to me by the Christian ministry containing the true Thanksgiving Day story were sent in November to the United States Secretary of Education, the New York State Commissioner of Education, the local superintendent of schools, and the principal of granddaughter’s elementary school.78 Dear Educators: Enclosed is the true story of the first Thanksgiving Day, which teachers throughout the nation may want to consider in incorporating into the current public school Thanksgiving Day curriculum. It has been brought to my attention that the reason for celebrating Thanksgiving Day according to current school curriculum, is that it is a day to give “thanks”. When questioning a public school student on whom do we give thanks to on Thanksgiving Day, the reply was that “we give thanks to the Indians for helping the Pilgrims”. As one can understand through the reading of the attached story, the above answer is grossly incomplete and bordering on erroneous. In the past, public school Thanksgiving Day curriculum concluded with that we give thanks to God for inspiring the American Indians to help the Pilgrims and we thank God for His blessings bestowed on us in our own lives. For further understanding, one can gain additional insight and enlightenment through the reading of the enclosed true 278 Thanksgiving Day story. This being that one American Indian “hero” Squanto who was instrumental in helping the Pilgrims was instructed by Christian friars in Europe in Bible study and Bible interpretation years prior to helping the Pilgrims in Plymouth. Please consider adding a more thorough explanation for the reason of the celebration of Thanksgiving into school instruction. It is time that God be brought back into the public school curriculum. Yours truly, Barbara Nikonoff Beginning in 1999, the intensity and frequency of storms considerably increased in the area of our residence. Even thunderstorms and other typical rainstorms resulted in high winds and torrential downpours. At our home a section of a neighbor’s driveway washed out onto our property resulting in much asphalt and gravel deposited in the backyard. Other thunderstorms and hurricanes resulted in large limbs breaking from trees and/or fallen trees and power outages. Needless to say, the yard cleanup from these storms accomplished by myself and occasionally son was arduous, laborious, strenuous, and all too frequent. After a hurricane in 2011 and due to the flooding of this storm, I decided to purchase a small gasoline powered generator to supply power to basement sump pumps and possibly the refrigerators. On October 29, 2011 an unusual early snow storm dropped several inches of snow resulting in many fallen trees due to the accumulation of a heavy wet snow on trees that were still bearing leaves. On October 29, 2012 a severe unusual hurricane struck the area depositing only about one quarter of an inch of rain but contained within its’ system extremely high winds. At about midnight, this storm was most harsh, snapping live hardwood trees at their base like thin twigs. This night I witnessed from a window one large tree on our property fall against another tree but its’ long large branches still hit a transformer attached to a telephone pole on the property that resulted in a power outage. In the morning, son and I surveyed the property (spouse was away on a business trip and due to airport congestion could not secure a flight home) for damages, to discover the large limbs of a tree blocking the entrance of our driveway. A third large tree was uprooted and fell with its’ fork wedged against another tree. Son and I removed the large limbs of the tree that had fallen across the driveway by using a dull electric chain saw connected to the gasoline powered generator and a reliable hand saw. Our family was without electrical power for about one week relying on the fireplace and oven that does not have an electronic ignition for heating, and candles and flashlights for light. The generator was disconnected from the refrigerators due to a sputtering of the generator, where the appliances were shutting on and off too frequently leading to a concern that damages to the appliances would occur. So the food contained in the refrigerators was moved outside to a table located on the deck connected to the house to provide for a cooler temperature. Later, a squirrel discovered this food and was caught helping himself to a small bounty. Exasperated, one then decided to discard most of the food. The storm created much devastation throughout the area especially to coastal communities where tide levels rose to destroy entire neighborhoods. I could not help but wonder if evil was somehow responsible for this storm. As many know, Stalin commanded Russians to pray to “God” to ask for an early snowstorm that 279 did indeed arrive to prevent a Nazi invasion during World War II. Be reminded that God relinquishes His authority to Satan in an evil and immoral society. One may also believe that Satan has been in authority during the past twenty five years or more through the historical examination of frequent natural disasters and commercial airplane crashes occurring during this approximate time period. One has thankfully but cautiously noted during the past three years, a tapering off of these great calamities likely due to the people recognizing the one true God and thus have become more religious through the following of The Ten Commandments, avoidance of Capital Sins and Abominations. This change in behavior also results in evil doers in positions of authority being deposed from those positions, to be replaced by religious and moral people, resulting in good changes for all people. In any case, one is hoping for, but not praying for an uneventful and calm October 29, 2013. In 1977, the United States Senate conducted hearings into the mind controlling of people to also include the inflictions of hallucinations on people. The name assigned to this program is called MKULTRA. Twenty thousand surviving documents (many documents were destroyed prior to the hearing) were reviewed where it was learned that people were being controlled by other persons’ directions. The control was apparently based on the subject’s exposure to chemical, biological, and radiological agents. One believes that psychological factors can also lead to mind control and the creation of hallucinations by evil doers launched against others. These psychological factors include but are not limited to overexposure to violence, abortion, pornography, subliminal messages in media meant to brainwash, stressful life situations, and the believing of lies for several examples. When people are deprived of a religious education to include the necessity to follow The Ten Commandments, avoid Capital Sins and Abominations the people are highly susceptible in an evil society to becoming first brainwashed and then mind controlled. Some people who have recognized this evil have also become subjected to tyranny situations for perhaps not obeying orders by the evil doers who are delivering messages to them as individuals or as members of a group. It is one’s opinion that some of these mind controlled individuals are also used by evil to varying degrees to attack religious and moral people and their families who are fighting against and exposing evil. For an example and at an extreme level, this year a young man dressed as a character in a movie showing at a theater shot and killed twelve people and wounded fifty eight others in the State of Colorado. It has been suggested that this described intelligent doctoral graduate student was swiftly mind controlled due to his father being involved in an investigation to expose “the largest bank fraud scandal in world history”. As of this writing more information concerning this matter is available in an article titled “Batman Massacre: Why, and How, and Who” found on the internet at www.helpfreetheearth.com . So, and to reiterate, the United States Senate through the holding of these hearings gave credibility to the established mind control programs that included punishments inflicted on the victims by Satan if the victim does not do as told, launched by evil doers against the people of the United States and World. The implications for this type of diabolical “warfare” are great for all people. To reiterate once again, all people should think carefully about the potential outcomes of mind control programs and the effects of these on the world population of people. One concern and question of mine regarding this treachery is are women being forced into promiscuity and then forced into aborting their child due to Satanic mind control with torture inflicted 280 on the women if they do not obey so evil doers can gain more wealth, power, and control over others. And are women who are not promiscuous being forced through mind control to abort their unborn children for the same above reasons? Perhaps the elimination of abortion to include abortifacient birth control drugs and laboratory abortions would end the mind control of people. Once again to protect oneself and family from this extreme evil, refuse to “think, say, and do what is wrong”, abide by The Ten Commandments, avoid Capital Sins and Abominations and pray earnestly to God. In December, another youth and a reported former honor student was Satanically inspired to first murder his mother, and then to enter the local elementary school where he murdered twenty, six and seven year old children in a first grade classroom and six other adults to include teachers and other school officials before turning the gun on himself, committing suicide. This tragedy was especially devastating and disturbing to me not only because so many innocent lives were taken in an innocuous typical setting but also because spouse, daughter, son, and I had visited the town where the massacre occurred in the early 1990’s where we considered buying a house and moving to that area of Connecticut. Spouse was employed in that State at the time requiring a lengthy commute from our home in New York. The most affordable area closest to his job was Newtown and so we sought perhaps to purchase a home in that area. This typical New England “Currier and Ives” type of town was remembered as quiet, quaint, and picturesque. During our drive through a downtown area I noted many people ice skating on a pond. Sandy Hook is an area or hamlet within Newtown, that was comprised at that time of older modest sized houses where many people were seen walking in neighborhoods. Other areas of Newtown contained neighborhoods of newly built large homes and mansions. No people were seen walking outdoors in these neighborhoods. Later, one noted the same phenomena in other like neighborhoods scattered throughout the nation containing large homes and mansions. Viewing the Sandy Hook Elementary school, I remarked to spouse and to our children that the school closely resembled daughter and son’s elementary school in our community both of which were constructed in the 1950’s architectural school style of the times. We decided to postpone the idea of moving to Newtown when it was discovered through a realtor that water to fill a swimming pool had to be delivered by truck so as not to drain wells in the area. Since this area was not particularly dry, I thought this town requirement to be inconvenient and odd. Shortly thereafter, spouse was asked by his employer to relocate to South Florida. After receiving the December 31, 2012 issue of “People” magazine reporting on the story of the Newtown tragedy and the individuals murdered, one realized that there were seven boys and thirteen girls in this first grade class counting the one girl who survived the shooting by lying still among her dead classmates. One then realized through this Sandy Hook tragedy that there was closely a two girls to one boy ratio in this general classroom as well. This skewed gender ratio is not normal and should be investigated for future population considerations if this is becoming the norm throughout the nation and possibly the world. Following the Newtown tragedy, many people purchased guns for perceived protection purposes. The federal government then quickly reacted to this surge of gun purchases by approving legislation to 281 restrict and in some cases prohibit gun ownership based on some background checks of individuals applying to own this type of weapon. Various interest groups fought this legislation by citing the United States Constitution where it is stated that citizens have a right to bear arms. One thought that the right to life is also stated in the Constitution, but has been disregarded, ignored, and not enforced for at least fifty years leading one to believe that this important document is irrelevant in today’s evil society. It is important to note however, that both the right to life and the right to bear arms are ambiguous in the context that these “rights” were written in the United States Constitution. Note that the right to life shown in Amendment XIV, line 2 states that “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The clause “without due process of law” could mean that if the law changes which it has, then others could have the right to murder other human beings in defiance of God’s Law that states Thou shall not kill. Regarding the “right” to bear arms, Article II (Amendment II) states “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” The clause “A well-regulated militia” could result in the government completely regulating this “right to bear arms” by only permitting a few select people to own arms. The obvious solution to eliminate increasing violence and immorality in the society, is to restore the nation to a religious and moral foundation which is based on biblical morality that at its’ very core stresses the necessity that people abide by The Ten Commandments, avoid Capital Sins, and Abominations. Read the Commentaries shown at the end of this book for possible solutions to problems. Throughout this year and the end of the prior year, a family member was given the use of spouses’ automobile. The family member continued to drive through highway tolls resulting in extraordinary fines levied and sent to spouse as owner of the vehicle. When questioning the family member on why the tolls were not being paid, the retort was that the family member “did not know”. One stated to spouse after receiving several of these bills not to allow the family member the use of his car any longer but for some reason spouse appeared to be compelled to continue to allow the family member use of his automobile. Believing this absurd situation to be further attacks by evil against our family, the following note with copies of the many numerous toll violations were sent in November to two highway commissioners and the United States Transportation secretary. Enclosed is a package of toll violations totaling $1893.70 for actual tolls totaling $43.40, that (Spouse) and Barbara Nikonoff residing at (our home address was written), have paid since September of 2011 to the present date. A family member was given use of our automobile and had the funds to pay for these tolls but for reasons unknown to us did not pay these tolls leaving Barbara and (Spouse) Nikonoff responsible for these payments. I have several questions as follows to ask and would appreciate a written response to these by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. 282 Does it seem odd that some people continue to pass through tolls without paying even though they have the money to pay for the toll? Why are some toll violators charged for just the unpaid toll, while other toll violators are charged the toll plus an extraordinary penalty? Are some people being targeted by evil doers not to pay the toll, perhaps as a way of attacking the owner of the vehicle, if the vehicle is driven by another, who is not the owner of the vehicle? Why are the owners of vehicles charged for toll violations when someone else other than the owner is driving the vehicle? Why are the penalties exorbitantly high in relation to the actual toll charge? Are Barbara and (Spouse) Nikonoff due a refund? Yours truly, Barbara Nikonoff Two years ago and for Easter, a female short haired rabbit was acquired for granddaughter. The rabbit is quite tame and although housed in a hutch outside is at times permitted to roam in a room in our home for granddaughter’s enjoyment. Last year, another long haired male dwarf rabbit was purchased to enjoy as a pet and to possibly breed with the female rabbit for an educational experience for granddaughter. In the late spring, the rabbits briefly were put together by me in an exercise pen separated with half inch wire mesh screening when granddaughter was not at our home. This resulted in a July birth of three identical long haired dwarf rabbits. Granddaughter enjoyed playing with the rabbits and their kits but at six weeks old it was time to find homes for these small pets. A sign was erected on our property facing the busy roadway in front of our home which advertised the kit long haired rabbits for sale for $10. No one purchased a rabbit, much to my chagrin. Concerned about possibly having to care for five rabbits, I was relieved when a local pet store offered to find homes for these creatures. Within a day or two after giving the rabbit kits to the pet store, one noticed that the mother rabbit was once again pulling out her fur to build a nest. Concerned that perhaps she was psychologically traumatized when her kits were removed, one checked on the internet regarding this behavior of a “non pregnant” rabbit. It was discovered that rabbits do suffer from psychological problems and so I believed that she was upset when the kits were taken from her. A day later however, six newly born rabbit kits were discovered in the hutch. In disbelief on how this could have happened, I questioned family members on perhaps one of them playing a role in putting the rabbits together. All family members denied a role in this possible mischief. Wondering if perhaps the rabbits bred through the wire mesh screen dividing the exercise pen, I telephoned a local veterinarian who stated to me that it is unlikely but possible that the rabbits mated through the screen. So once again, after six weeks one erected the sign to sell these attractive all long haired dwarf rabbit kits for $10. No one stopped to view or purchase these rabbits. I jokingly remarked to spouse that in this evil society one could not even sell inexpensive 283 and attractive rabbits if one disagrees with societal immoralities. Daughter decided to keep one rabbit from this brood to house at her home and I kept one female for mother’s company and gratefully another pet store in the area offered to find homes for the remainder of these small pets. After this incident, a double barrier system was constructed in the rabbits exercise pen. One viewed a disturbing and horrifying documentary on “China’s dying rooms” where babies that are abandoned by their parents perhaps due to China’s one child policy, are brought likely to die. In this orphanage toddlers were shown tied to chairs where they sat and cried most of the day in filthy conditions. Other younger infants were depicted in cribs lying in their excrement, some crying and some in a dazed state. It appears that once a child is born, the Chinese do not murder the born baby due to violations of the one child policy but instead allow Satan through his agents to kill the child gradually. Less extreme and less obvious are situations occurring in the United States which can also result in the torturous deaths of children where evil agents combined with the complicity of parents are destroying babies and children. For some examples, the administration of too many vaccines resulting in possible damages to the brain and other organs, dangerous drugs administered to children such as Ritilin, psychologically damaging media, false school curriculum, damaging advice given by professionals, evil toys and amusements, poor nutrition, and exposures to poisons and dangerous procedures all contribute to the demise of children in the United States and elsewhere. In early October, it was time to renew the website domain name consequencesofabortion.com. One renewed the website for a ten year time period to expire in 2022 however, and at this time I thought it would be important to future generations to view this website. Perhaps a fund could be established by the website owner and a website company offering this service, that guarantees that a website domain name with hosting will remain on the internet for a hundred years or longer. Prior to departing for an appointment in a nearby town, spouse gathered coins to place inside one of the parking meters, which were located and installed in this town’s downtown area. After arriving home, spouse stated to me that the town had removed the parking meters in the area where he parked the car but still a parking ticket was placed on the windshield of the vehicle. One inquired as to why this ticket was issued as there was no parking meter where spouse had parked the car. The reply from a town official advised me of the installation of “muni-meters” that are located somewhere within fifty feet of available parking areas. I stated to spouse that one now needs to search within fifty feet of one’s parked car for a possible “muni-meter” to avoid receiving a parking ticket. Early in the year, a family member sought out and attended a remedy organization to assist with a chronic problem. The family member had private medical insurance with a major medical insurance company which was underwritten through a corporate group plan. The plan spouse selected and where partial premiums were paid by us, was for eighty five percent coverage of medical costs by the plan after a deductible was satisfied. Over a seventh month time frame billing statements were received where it was shown that most of the charges were denied payment by the insurance company. The remedy organization demanded from us what they called the fifteen percent co-pay. After reviewing the 284 insurance statements one realized that our obligation was for about sixty five percent of the charges. After much exasperating inquiry with the insurance company through telephone and written correspondence, it was discovered that the remedy organization was not billing the insurance company correctly. This was finally revealed about nine months after the family member began treatment. The insurance company then informed one that after a six month time period, the claim will no longer be paid by them thus leaving the patient possibly responsible for the bill (this may also depend upon who you are). I stated to spouse through this experience that patients were seemingly being held responsible for how a remedy organization processes the billing to the insurance company. In early 2013, another “explanation of benefits” was received by the insurance company that denied payment of a claim. I contacted the physician’s office immediately about this matter as the remedy organization through which one received the bill, was selected through the physician. The physician’s office worker instructed one to disregard this statement because there was a problem with the method on how the billing was processed by the recommended remedy organization. Based on the previous experience, I stated to the office worker that if the bill is not paid by the insurance company within six months, the patient could be held responsible for the charges so it is imperative that the charges be billed correctly to the insurance company. One also recognized at this time that medical insurance companies have contractual agreements with remedy organizations where less money is paid and accepted under a contact. For individuals paying their own medical costs their charges are substantially higher. As one can realize, this is a corrupt system. While reviewing the costs of medication prescribed to a family member who is insured under an apparent greatly reduced price prescription drug group plan, one realized that privately purchasing these medications from a wholesale prescription drug outlet would cost one less money. One then telephoned the corporate administrator of the group plan with this information. After much discussion regarding comparisons of costs of various drugs, it was finally revealed to me that one was charged more because of the way the prescriptions were written. Through this conversation, one discovered that a ninety day supply of medications costs considerably less than a thirty day supply. This year one discovered a booklet published in 2008 by a large and renowned charitable organization on the “proper” care of an infant. The booklet was printed to be freely distributed to new mothers who more than likely were low income because this booklet was free of charge and was printed by a charitable group. After reading through this booklet that was written in a condescending and abrasive way, one recognized that some instruction was detrimental to newborns and other imperative instruction was not included in the booklet. For examples, in a section on feeding the infant, no mention was written about heating the formula to body temperature prior to feeding the newborn. After feeding the infant, the recommendation was to wash the bottle with hot, soapy water. Newborns bottles should be sterilized to prevent illness. Other instruction stated to swab the umbilical area with rubbing alcohol to prevent infection. An antibiotic ointment applied to this area after cleaning the area with soap and water would likely be less painful than alcohol and serve the same purpose. The booklet stated that infants can be bathed in a bath after their umbilical cord dries and dislodges from the naval area. Realize that many infants become traumatized and anxious by bathing in a shallow tub of water. This trauma 285 could result in an illness related to the central nervous system or possibly even SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). Read 2007 regarding our experience with granddaughter bathed in a shallow bath at two weeks old. It is prudent therefore to sponge bathe the infant until three months old. The booklet promoted the use of a rectal thermometer to ascertain the infant’s body temperature but advised parents not to insert the thermometer too deep. A less invasive and accurate way to obtain an infant’s body temperature is through the use of a digital ear thermometer. For an illness with symptoms of congestion, the booklet stated that parents should insert saline drops into the infant’s nose. These drops irritate the sensitive membranes within the nostrils that could cause further infection. A cool mist humidifier was advised to be used to alleviate congestion. Cool mist humidifiers dampen the environment perhaps resulting in the chilling of the ill infant. A hot mist humidifier is the logical choice for this circumstance. The booklet also instructed parents to use a nail clipper to trim infant’s nails which could result in cuts to the baby’s fingers. One recommends using an emery board to trim a newborn’s nails. One was dismayed to learn that two States in the United States approved the use of marijuana, a substance that was formally classified as a narcotic and an illegal substance. Years ago in the 1960’s and the early 1970’s, it was taught in the schools that marijuana contains a substance known as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) that causes genetic and chromosome damages to the human body which can result in organ damages including brain damages. Marijuana use also increases the risk of birth defects in the future children of the users of this substance. The above instruction prevented me from becoming involved in the use of this narcotic. Also, due to this approval of a narcotic substance by two States in the United States together with other like prescription drugs written and prescribed by remedy specialists, one wonders about the possible recourse of those who have been imprisoned due to engagements in this narcotic and other similar narcotics. Frequently, spouse would bring granddaughter to local area playgrounds for an outing. On one occasion, granddaughter reported to me that she saved a baby from possibly being hit by a car because the toddler wandered far away from the parent and was exiting the fenced playground through a gate. Granddaughter viewing this scene quickly retrieved the young child and alerted adults in the area to this circumstance. Also occasionally reported were young children that wandered freely in front of and behind children using swings and slides resulting at times in injuries to the toddlers. The above are merely two examples of adults not minding or carefully watching their children or the children they are responsible to care for. Instead parents and other adults are seen mesmerized by a cellular phone or engaged in conversation with other adults. A story was reported in the media about a high school student and her parents who objected to global positioning devices installed in students’ identification badges. The parents litigated against the school district due to this requirement stating that the global positioning device installed within the student identification badge was an invasion of personal privacy. One agreed with the position of the student and her parents however at the same time realized the current widespread use of these devices. For 286 example, all passports contain a global positioning device (radio frequency identification/RFID chip). Later and by 2013, it was reported that the judge ruled against the student and her parents. Retrospective: As no preliminary orders were placed for the incomplete book, one continued writing until May 2013 to offer the completed version to the public freely or for purchase. Instead of helping to rectify immoral situations in the society, many people find individual temporary solutions and answers to ever increasing problems. For example some people purchased large natural gas home conversion units after the devastating October hurricane to provide for the ease of unlimited power to their home during increasing frequent power outages. Based on the current situations of narcotic approvals by government is it just to imprison some people for narcotic use? Historical Accounts 2012: 79 Encyclopedia Britannica on March 13 suspends the printing of these books for the first time in 244 years of publication. The Large Hadron Collider has apparently made it possible for scientists to discover the elusive Higgs Boson on July 4. Multi millions of people are affected by a power outage in India occurring on July 30-31. A typhoon in the Philippines kills more than one thousand people between the dates of November 25December 9. Remarks: More than six hundred and twenty million people are left without electricity due to a collapse of a power grid. Hopefully solar power and other independent sources of energy can avert disasters like this one in the future. 2013 In contemplating perceived reasons as to why I was chosen as a messenger to exacerbate the dire need for the people to return to following The Ten Commandments and to avoid Capital Sins and Abominations, one initially believed me to be most unqualified due to a lack of education and almost complete ignorance in the disciplines of theology and history. Incredulously and in disbelief that gargantuan national and world problems would be a responsibility of mine to relay important life saving information to the people, I struggled and desperately sought out sources of information that could assist me in this monumental endeavor. Thankfully and likely due to God’s guidance, relevant history books were discovered through advertising at an apparent independent website news source. These books are included together with other books discovered from other sources in the bibliography. I surmised that through a progression of information provided to the people that the helm of this massive project would probably be assumed by other more qualified individuals. Later, and by 2012 one realized that a tyrannical mind control likely gripped the entire population of world people because no positive moral changes were occurring and some or many people were being increasingly subjugated and 287 enslaved by evil which has been proven through verifiable evidence that has been presented throughout this book. Also and in some cases more immoralities were being approved by governments and read about in the news. Recognize that God does have mercy when people take responsibility and repent for their transgressions (many of which were due to programs of a designed lack of education, ensnarement, lies that some believed as truths, coercion, and persecution for not agreeing with evil which eventually resulted in some people agreeing with evil) and return to the adhering of the Laws and expectations of the one true God. Hopefully and prayerfully people are able to assume this responsibility to change their immoral behavior and repent. One also wondered why the Catholic Church would be possibly complicit in relying on me to assist in correcting severe major world problems which I determined was not coincidental based on the names of the Popes beginning one day prior to my birth and other pertinent related information. Read the Introduction regarding this matter. Thinking about this more carefully, one then thought that perhaps the Illuminati occult played a part in the selection of Popes names during these years as a way to perhaps eventually incite the people to blame and attack the Catholic Church for assigning an ignorant, albeit dedicated individual to significantly assist in restoring religious morality to the world through the delivery of truthful messages, should these messages somehow and someway be capable of being delivered. Believing that many other people, The Prophets and even Jesus Christ Himself had a more extensive religious education prior to beginning their ministries than I, it seemed unlikely that the Catholic Church would choose me for such a complex, extensive, and difficult job. Also, logically and innocently, if a message is being delivered about the next Popes’ name, the Papal conclave’s elect for Pope certainly would select the name of the next Pope that is being delivered to him by God which is likely based on the historical times that is perhaps occasionally relevant to New Testament doctrine among other factors. This acceptance of a name most likely became more difficult when two names were chosen by the Pope elect which was unprecedented beginning in 1978 with Pope John Paul I. Perhaps Pope John Paul I, questioned these dual names in 1978 and then realized together with some others, that The Church itself was under a tyrannical situation perhaps and because most all of the Western World and Asia had accepted abortion for one example as a government approved policy, thereby making abortion “permissible and approved” for those people residing in these societies to accept, engage in, and support as followers of laws of rogue governments and those few who have assumed control of these governments and the economic world and subsequently of most all aspects of the societies. Also, and equally relevant is that most all societies and countries in the world approved abortifacient birth control drugs and devices that end the life of a human being by 1978 and laboratories involved in various endeavors were also contributing to the demise of conceived human beings at this time as well. Thus, and hypothetically due to duress, The Church may have reluctantly accepted the dual names of two Popes. In addition, and as many people know, the occult Illuminati to include Masons, Freemasons, Communists, Nazis, Zionists, Scientologists, Raelists, Kabbalists, and Shriners, and other like organizations are diabolical, deceptive, manipulative, clever, and tricky sects and all of the above violate 288 The Ten Commandments and are involved in Capital Sins and Abominations . These organizations and groups consider the Catholic Church to be among their biggest adversary and so a goal of these occult groups is to destroy the Catholic Church through by one means, the changing of public opinion from a positive view of The Church to a negative view of The Church. This long standing goal and mission of the Illuminati to destroy the Catholic Church is written about somewhat extensively in the book “The Mystery of Freemasonry Unveiled” shown in the bibliography section of this book. Be advised when reading this book however, that there are several pages in the book that discuss Illuminati practices. The reader may desire to refrain from reading this section of the book to protect oneself from evil influences. So, whether or not I was selected prior to my birth by the Catholic Church or the Illuminati to complete this writing is irrelevant to me as I believe that the one, true God has intervened and assisted me in the delivery of important life saving messages to the world population of people. I began to recognize that some people require immediate or future reciprocal help or assistance from those who were given the help. For example a common mentality today is for one to state that because I have helped someone without monetary compensation, I expect that person to help me in return when I need assistance. As one can realize by this statement, assistance is rarely freely offered in an immoral society and is based on compensation and not free help. It should be noted that some people who require help cannot reciprocate the helper for that help at the time the help is given, or ever. In a moral and religious society, people freely help others with no expectation of reciprocity. If a person who freely helps others requires help, then God provides another person to help that individual under ordinary circumstances. A short story comes to mind regarding this religious philosophy. One day in the early 1980’s a tire deflated on my vehicle while driving requiring me to move to the shoulder of a roadway where I anxiously sat and wondered what to do as I did not know how to change a tire and cellular phones did not exist for most at that time. An unknown “good Samaritan” stopped his vehicle to lend assistance in changing this tire for me with no monetary or other compensation expected. I was grateful to this person who perhaps through a religious education was inspired to help me and I thought about how I could help another individual or people in need of assistance in the future. Throughout the past thirty years, one became increasingly aware of corruption and stealing occurring within charitable organizations. Money donated to disaster relief organizations has been documented to have been stolen by some individuals employed by various charities. In other cases, presidents and other executives employed by charities have been shown to be receiving exorbitant salaries consistent with chief executive officers and presidents of worldwide corporations. Some charities deceive contributors by not revealing to them the percentage of the donation that will actually be used to assist those in need. In some situations five percent or less of the donation is used to help the afflicted while the larger portion of the donation is used to pay the salaries of the solicitors and other salary and administrative costs. Religious groups have also violated and compromised their teachings, through volunteering to campaign for funds to assist renowned charitable organizations, who for example help the ill or impoverished but support abortion policies. Thoroughly researching a charity’s ethics regarding their adherence or non adherence to The Ten Commandments would likely eliminate biblically based religious groups from becoming involved in the solicitation of funds for a rogue charity. Another scheme 289 read about, discussed a large corporate foundation that supports abortion policies who donated a large sum of money to a biblically based religious charity. This large donation given to the religious charity was then publicized by the corporate foundation to the people who were receiving the assistance from the religious charity. So, the people receiving the assistance were grateful to the religious charity as well as the corporate foundation that provided the money to the religious charity for disbursement to the poor and impoverished. Later it became known that the corporate foundation that indirectly helped the above group was now promoting abortion to the same group of people previously assisted by them, through their publically known indirect donations to a religious charity who disbursed the funds. Hopefully, through extensive educational programs delivered to the needy, the people will reject these types of deceptive and manipulative practices of some large “philanthropic” groups. A disturbing news story viewed depicted a woman residing in a rural area of India who engaged in the infanticides of several of her daughters through suffocation after their births. The woman appeared to be smiling in an insane way as she showed the reporter the infants’ graves. On the other hand, another story read discussed a mass sterilization camp in India where women undergo tubal ligation procedures in an abusive way. Shortly after obtaining sterilizations, the women are released into a field to find their way home. The work of evil is apparent in both the above reports because foreign aid money received through the World Bank and other organizations by some people in India is dependent on many women in India obtaining sterilizations, abortions, and likely also received through the practices of infanticides. So it is plain to understand that as more women and their spouses agree to participate in infanticides and sterilizations, a few people gain more wealth, gain more control, and become more powerful over the vast majority of people through tyranny situations that once again, are largely created by the above factors to also include abortion. A return to the adherence of The Ten Commandments, avoidance of Capital Sins, and Abominations would eliminate the brutality inflicted on many others by evil doers. More information regarding these “camps” and the financiers of the above program can be found on the internet in an article titled “Who’s Behind India’s Barbaric Mega Sterilization Camps” by Celeste McGovern. An elderly ill man known to me was asked to vacate a nursing home that was providing him with care, apparently because his medical insurance had expired for this care. Because the man was a veteran of the armed forces, he was entitled to free care at a veteran’s facility. Upon inquiry into this benefit it was discovered that no beds were available for him in this area of veterans’ homes. Discussing this problem with a family member, the family member remarked that more veteran’s homes should be built to serve ill and recuperating previous members of the military. Annoyed with this situation, I stated that what should be done is not done and what should not be done is done. To support this statement one cited a large shopping mall in the area of my current residence that was newly renovated with expensive additions and new and lavish remodeling in the 1980’s that was currently in the process of being torn down to build another shopping mall. Another disturbing action of waste written about in the local newspaper was a story about a large complex of solid brick apartment buildings that house low income and welfare recipients that has been 290 scheduled to be torn down to build a new apartment complex to serve the above groups need for decent housing. To offer an alternative to the above demolition, incrementally and one by one an individual apartment house could be completely “gutted” and rebuilt in the interior while maintaining the sturdy brick structure and foundation of the building. Through this suggested cost savings process, less people would be displaced and could likely return to a new apartment within a shorter period of time both of which serve the needy and the taxpayers. During the course of the early months of this year and in 2012, one became aware, even with minimal socialization of four couples “divorcing”, some after many years of “marriage”. Three of these couples have children who are teenagers or children who about to enter their teen years. Stating to spouse that these “divorces” are only adding “fuel to the fire” as the teen years can be a difficult time in a moral environment and extremely difficult and challenging for both teens and parents in an evil society. One then reflected over the years and realized that many more couples known to me “divorced” when their children were teenagers. By this year, it became more than clear that perhaps evil outside others were responsible for strongly influencing and possibly even mind controlling these “divorces” at an especially difficult time for the family to destroy individuals within the family. Hopefully through awareness and a change of behavior to benevolently cooperate with family members this common, detrimental to the family, life changing situation can be averted. An initially disturbing statistic was made known to me by a reliable source on the internet. The 2012 United States presidential voting statistic stated that 50 percent of Catholics “voted” for abortion supporter Barack Obama while 48 percent “voted” for Mitt Romney who has been reported to be against abortion. Also stated was that of those Catholics who attend mass regularly on the Sabbath Day, 42 percent “voted” for Obama and 57 percent “voted” for Romney. Upset with this revelation that still about half of Catholics “voted” for Obama, one then realized that these statistics were missing a variable. That variable is how many Catholics have stopped voting because the election and voting system is corrupt? A few days later, a statistic was provided by another source regarding the number of eligible to vote people, who are still voting in the United States. That statistic showed that 27 percent of all those eligible to “vote” are “voting”. This statistic, if true is none the less disturbing. Realize that one quarter of the population can and has been directly and indirectly responsible for tyranny situations and the destruction of the majority of the people living in a nation in the past and present. On the other hand, if an oppressive mind control has become a factor for some people, but at this point in time, not all people, then it does not matter to those completely mind controlled people, whether the voting system is legitimized or not. If completely mind controlled individuals are told to “vote” and told to “vote” for certain candidates, then that is how they “vote”. This is the predicament that I believe that we are currently facing in today’s vastly immoral society. Recognize however that if the election system was legitimized years ago when the society was more religious and moral then perhaps this tyranny situation experienced today, would not exist. Another statistic made known to one cited through numbers was the vast reduction of abortion clinics operating in the United States during the past twenty five years. It has been stated that these clinics have been reduced by thousands since the middle 1980’s 291 to just over 600 by 2013. My question is how many general hospitals are involved today in administering abortions to women to compensate for the closings over the years of independent abortion clinics? A family member notified me of apparent new procedures regarding the ownership of certain stocks. Forms were received in the mail by the family member with instructions necessitating the completion of these forms. The instructions stated that if the completed forms were not returned within fourteen days, the stocks owned by the family member, would be declared abandoned and confiscated by the corporation. By this year, it became increasingly clear to one that most people would not deliberately and intentionally invest their money in biotechnology corporations that were involved with the destruction of human life and/or genetic manipulations. In reviewing the vast number of these large corporations established and engaged in this pursuit (review www.mbbnet.umn.edu/scmap.html) one wondered how these corporations obtained the funds to remain solvent. It is also likely that most people would not invest their money to construct a dangerous device like the Large Hadron Collider whose estimated cost is nine billion dollars for this single unit. Other projects like this one are in construction and in operation in areas around the world with a similar price tag. Once again, the question is how are the funds being acquired to pay for these horrific projects? Gradually one realized that the funds to support projects like the above are most probably acquired through the stealing of money from the populations of people. For examples, many people especially those in the fifty to sixty year old age range have realized in the United States that much of their 401K retirement pension funds have been removed close to the time of expected retirement and after retirement. Approximately a decade ago, it was reported in the news that many people in the country of Argentina were robbed of their savings accounts with no recourse to the depositors. It is one’s opinion that pension funds and savings accounts are being stolen from religious and moral people to pay for immoral and destructive projects like the above examples and to supply evil doers with additional wealth. If that is the situation one may perhaps ask God as judge to serve justice to those responsible and to restore the perceived money stolen, to the victims. It was reported in the local news of the community of my residence that it costs more than $23,500 to educate one student for one year in the public schools in this area. I stated to spouse that for that amount of money, one could hire a private tutor to instruct one’s child for at least four hours a day with assignments of individual book work to be corrected daily by the parents. By April, emergency procedures regarding terrorist attacks, fires, and wind storms in the school district of one’s residence were made known to me as follows. For attacks of terrorism, students are required in the early elementary grades to huddle quietly together in a closed door, darkened classroom lavatory. During a fire, students are instructed to quickly exit the school building in line formation and through brisk pace. For a wind emergency such as a hurricane or tornado students are told to crouch in the classroom and cover their heads with their hands. School classrooms in the area of one’s residence largely exhibit one wall of windows. It is a dangerous situation for students to remain in a classroom during a high wind storm due to the possibility of the glass windows shattering. It would be more 292 prudent and sensible during a high wind emergency to evacuate the children to a windowless area of the school building such as an interior hallway. Throughout last year and this year, one became increasingly aware that items viewed by oneself for possible purchase shown on retail websites were being advertised to me on news websites that I frequented. Contemplating perhaps advertising this book on the news websites frequented, one then wondered if perhaps the advertisement for this book would be shown only to me, or to those known to me through a manipulation of the computer “airwaves”. In an immoral society, even with much legitimate information, one never stops wondering. By the end of February, one’s question regarding the above possibility was answered. A news source frequented on the internet was delivering different news to spouse’s setting on the computer in comparison to my setting. Both settings were viewed a few times for verification purposes, within seconds apart and showed different news from the same news source, being delivered to spouse’s setting as compared to my setting on our home personal computer. Once again, the implications for these types of computer “airwave” manipulations that are delivering different information by the same source to individuals or select groups of people (perhaps based on psychology among many other factors) are great for all people from all “walks of life” in this world. During the 1980’s, one became aware of the concept of the reverse mortgage where equity accumulated in a home is disbursed to the homeowner at intervals to a specified percentage of the value of the home. Perhaps this scheme prevents some stealing that may have been occurring with the home equity loan concept, where lump sums are distributed to homeowners based on accumulated equity which many times is quickly removed from the homeowner due to “unforeseen” circumstances. In the 1980’s and in the United States there were no age restrictions to acquire a reverse mortgage. But by 2012, the age restriction to participate in this system was increased to sixty two years of age and older. There are initial substantial fees to be paid to lenders and others involved in securing reverse mortgage approvals by the homeowner who desires to obtain a reverse mortgage. After these fees are paid, the reverse mortgage can be secured. By 2013, much advertising in print media and television promoted this idea to senior citizens. Recognize that if one’s home is too costly to maintain then perhaps less expensive housing should be sought. The extra money accumulated from the sale of the more expensive home could be used by the homeowner for future possible needs. One should always ask oneself the question “what will happen to me and others who may be residing in the home with me, when the reverse mortgage ends? If one sells their home after the reverse mortgage ends then the person will have much less money to apply to another home and less money for savings. As the above is a logical way of viewing a situation where some homes have become too expensive to maintain, then one may ask the question are people being mind controlled to continue to remain in a home that they can no longer afford? One may further ponder the reasons for promoting this illogical reverse mortgage system. Perhaps evil is using this scheme to remove the wealth from the elderly to create future hardships for them and to remove inheritance from their children and/or heirs. Through personal experience, one has recognized that if extra money is not available to be used to expose evil agendas to 293 others, then evil continues unabated in destroying many people in the society. Also, and as many people know, removing inheritance is one goal of illuminated Communists to keep populations of people in a predicament and weak. I became involved in a conversation with another concerning the proliferation of homosexual behavior where one stated that the ever increasing homosexual problem in this country together with abortion approval has resulted in an atmosphere of increasing violence perpetuated against others within the population because of these engagements in violations of God’s Laws and Abominations. The person I was conversing with stated to me that the above statement was “hate speech” and that one should not hate another based on their sexual preference. I retorted that I have never hated anyone and that criticizing wrong behavior and hating a person are two separate definitions. Note that the term “hate speech” was heavily promoted in the media where people were threatened with arrest for speaking out against immoralities in recent times and through these threats was used as a way to eliminate and silence the criticisms of religious and moral people. A story in the local news exacerbates a growing problem that one has noted throughout the community of my residence over the past twenty years or so. On the one hand, this community exhibits many extra large homes and mansions. On the other hand, older neighborhoods are comprised of smaller, more modest sized housing. People living in these smaller homes are finding that it is becoming increasingly more difficult to maintain their house due to rising costs and high taxes. In our family, spouse and I have decided to reduce some of our high cost expenses through the elimination of an automobile and annual vacations in order to accomplish necessary home repairs and maintenance and to pay for other unexpected costs that one believes were due to a degree of mind control. The article read stated that a woman was found dead in her home after falling through a floor in the house that was damaged by water. The woman was discovered days after her death after she did not report for duty as a nurse in a nearby hospital. A photograph was shown of this circa 1970’s bi-level home where the outside of the house did not appear to be in dire need of repair but obviously the inside of the home was uninhabitable. These increasingly frequent disastrous living conditions of many people are not the result of a “robbing Peter to pay Paul” situation where a “little” stealing is occurring for a “good” reason. Religious and moral people are being destroyed by wealthy others who continue to ask and demand for more money and other wealth to satiate their ever growing “needs”. I purchased for granddaughter a picture book of rhyming Bible stories for young children. While reading a rhyme about Jesus and the children that loosely cited Luke 18:15, we viewed an illustration of ten people gathered on a hillside. The rhyme was written as follows: “All day long The People come. Jesus greets them One by one. Short ones, tall ones, Big ones, small ones, Happy ones, grumpy ones, thin ones, plump ones,” etcetera (excerpt from “The Rhyme Bible Storybook” by L.J. Sattgast, 1999). I asked granddaughter to find the shortest person and the tallest person in the illustration. Granddaughter selected the illustration of a boy as the shortest person when there was shown another illustration of a woman holding a baby. Stating that she was wrong in selecting the boy as the shortest, one asked her to carefully review the picture again. She scrutinized the illustration for a time but could still not see the 294 baby carried by the woman. One thought that this inability to notice a baby is typical in a society that has approved abortion, where infants are not considered to be important and valued. This perception has contributed to an atmosphere of terror in immoral societies. The Bible substantiates this conclusion in Matthew 14: 13-34. On February 11, Pope Benedict XVI announced that he would be resigning from his Papal duties apparently due to increasing health problems. Later it was revealed that the Pope was retiring due to God’s request, which was likely a way to make a further statement regarding the current immoral state of affairs in this world. So, perhaps and most assuredly there were multiple reasons for the Pope’s retirement. The last resignation tendered of a pope to this date was Pope Gregory XII, who resigned during the time of the Great Western Schism beginning in 1378 and stated to end in 1417. Pope Gregory XII was replaced by Pope Martin V. In reviewing information regarding this history, one noted another Pope John XXIII named at this time, and Pope Benedict XIII and Pope Benedict XIV, who were involved in this turmoil of vying factions within the Catholic Church. It is apparent through the review of this information that confusion existed within The Church that was likely due and related to turmoil and confusion occurring within the societies at that time. Realize that the Great Western Schism occurred during the time of the bubonic plague (otherwise known as the “black death”) which killed multi millions of people throughout Europe and Asia. Also, before and during the plague, a considerable number of people living in those areas of the world were practicing sorcery and other forms of occultism, abortions, and infanticides. With regard to the appointment of Pope John XXIII in 1958, it has been stated that this was legitimate because there was no Pope John XX. On February 15, a large meteor, about fifty feet wide landed in Russia in the Ural Mountains area. The sound emitted from the crash injured more than one thousand people, broke windows, and damaged buildings in a nearby city. Later this day, an asteroid one hundred and fifty feet wide, passed within the relatively close range of 17,200 miles of earth. It is likely that the large meteor striking Russia was a fragment of this asteroid. One believes that these events of the Pope resigning, the meteor striking Russia, and the asteroid passing close to earth are further warnings from God to exacerbate the need that people change their immoral behaviors and repent for their transgressions and return to the following of The Ten Commandments and avoid Capital Sins, and Abominations. True and serious prayer to God combined with an expectation of penance for wrong doings are also expected. On March 13, a pope was appointed named Pope Francis. The last time a pope assumed a unique name was in the year 913, when Pope Landus was ordained to this position. Pope Francis has stated that a reason for the selection of this name is that he regards Saint Francis of Assisi in high esteem due to Saint Francis’s concerns and works of good in helping poor people and so Pope Francis would like to emulate this Saint in his Papacy. In addition to helping the poor, Saint Francis of Assisi is known as the Patron Saint of animals and the environment. This unprecedented name selected by the Pope can be further analyzed and perhaps interpreted for today’s world societies. In one’s opinion, this original name may represent something new that is occurring in today’s society that has never occurred before. Pondering this further, one recognizes that extremes of coveting, through enabling and sophisticated technology 295 has never been experienced by human beings throughout world history. At this time, it is likely that many people around the world have by this date, recognized this fact of a severe violation of a Commandment which has also been a factor in violations of other Laws of God. Based on the evidence obtained through research, abortion policies accepted by the majority, has most probably resulted in these severe invasions of privacy and accompanying mind control programs inflicted by evil doers on the people of the world. So the unique name of the Pope could be an acknowledgement of the fact that people understand the harsh reality of these times. Enlisting God’s support through the following of God’s Laws and other expected moral behaviors will hopefully eliminate the extreme evil permeating world societies today. In May, this book was completed and prepared to be forwarded to an editor of a large publishing company. The requirement for editing was to combine separate word files into a one word document format. I did not know how to accomplish this task so a computer technician was hired to combine the approximate seventy five word files into a one word document and file. After completing this job, the computer technician forwarded the text of this book via email to the editor of the publishing company. Later this same day, one reviewed the one word document only to discover that large amounts of text were missing from this book. Checking through the saved individual files, one noted that in particular a Commentary “Just Thoughts” was missing most of the text. Outraged over the likely “hacking” of my personal saved word document files that are “protected” by an anti virus program with firewall protection, one contacted the F.B.I. (Federal Bureau of Investigation). An agent spoken with about this incident informed me that this agency does not become involved with individual matters of “hacking” by outside others. The agency only assists and investigates groups (corporate and government for two examples) who have been subjected to this malicious crime and fraud. The F.B.I. agent suggested that I contact the cable/internet provider about this concern. After speaking with the internet provider, one was informed that nothing could be done to trace the source of this “hacking”. Frustrated, one contacted the editor of the publishing concern and informed her of the missing text from this book. Later, one remarked to spouse that delivering the text via computer to a publisher could be an exercise in futility. One then decided to forego the editing and have this book printed the “old fashioned way” through a printer who provides a binding service. So, the missing sections of this book require retyping through a saved printed copy and handwritten notes. An ISBN (international standard book number) was secured and a copyright application was submitted to the government’s copyright office. With regard to the issuing of a copyright, one can offer a suggestion regarding this process. The current procedure is to file an application and include the published or unpublished work together with a fee to the copyright office. Some people may not desire to publish a written work without a copyright. On the other hand, to send an unpublished work to the copyright office may result in the inaccurate documentation of the work by the copyright office because the author may change the unpublished work. Therefore one suggests that it would be more sensible to issue a copyright on a temporary basis perhaps for between six to twelve months to provide the author time to submit the accurate published work with the copyright to the federal copyright office. Once the work is submitted to the copyright 296 office, then and at that time, the copyright becomes permanent. If the accurate work is not submitted within a designated time frame then the copyright could be revoked. Retrospective: A possible interim solution to the infanticide problem in India and in other areas around the world experiencing the same problem, is to notify the people of adoption options through publicity campaigns where members of likely religious organizations, can retrieve the unwanted infant from the biological parents and place that child with an adoptive family, rather than murder the infant. Perhaps to eliminate the “desire” to “divorce” a couple should acknowledge the probable fact that real marriages do not exist in today’s evil world (but be reminded that adultery does exist through the changing of partners). Instead, agree to be partners in an obligatory and committed relationship to provide for family stability and function. Historical Accounts 2013: 80 On February 15, a meteor strikes Russia injuring more than one thousand four hundred people. Pope Benedict XVI resigns his Papacy on February 28. On March 13, Pope Francis is selected to lead the Catholic Church. Remarks: none Commentary Genetic Identification Genetic information unique to each individual is contained in blood for one example and specifically is found in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which is located in the nucleus of a cell. DNA identification began in 1976 with an accepted profiling technique established in 1984, which is used today in several United States DNA databases. Other techniques for profiling genetics are used in other databases throughout the United States. Many countries throughout the world also have DNA databases that store individual’s genetic information. It has been discovered that unauthorized (no permission granted by the individual), data basing of individuals DNA is being stored in DNA data base centers. Some people are concerned that this data basing of people’s DNA will be or could be used for evil purposes. One article posted on the internet titled “Bill to Ban Unauthorized Use of Infant DNA Clears Senate Committee” currently available at http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/287446 discusses briefly the trepidation of several people concerning DNA data basing. A stated benefit to genetically identifying individuals is the identifications of predispositions to various diseases with accompanying early intervention by remedy specialists, regarding these potential disease(s). Informing people of a future potentiality for acquiring a disease or diseases for example, may result in a hypochondria situation for the individual, which can result in the actual acquiring of the disease(s). Experts have given other reasons for the genetic identification of people such as criminal identification, paternity identification, and family identification that can identify individual and family genealogy dating back to thousands of years ago. 297 To contemplate one aspect of the above stated “benefits”, family identification is cited as a great threat to all people around the world. Throughout history, various groups of people have been targeted and annihilated based on a genetic group affiliation. In recent times, the Nazi’s targeted the Jews, based on their heredity and religion, for death. Also understand that all German’s were subjected to heredity investigations by Nazi committees. During the Nazi regime, genealogical records of all German’s were researched through records and information that were stored in town buildings, churches, and synagogues. Anyone found having Jewish heritage was potentially subjected to the same fate as the professed Jews. The people in countries that were occupied by the Nazi’s during World War II were also subjected to similar genealogical searches in the Nazi’s quest to eliminate (murder) those people of Jewish heritage and/or ancestry. The Bible states that the descendants of Abraham are God’s “chosen” people and will eventually become as numerous as the stars in the sky as God stated to Abraham in Genesis 15:5 He took him outside and said, “Look up at the heavens and count the stars, if indeed you can count them.” Then He said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” It is possible that the occult and other evil forces may be targeting the Jews and those of Jewish ancestry through DNA genetic identification , to gain complete, absolute, and unquestioned control over the world as part of an anti God and anti Christ occult philosophy. Thought should be given to the fact that most Europeans probably have at least one Jewish ancestor based on a study of European history. Be aware that the continent of Europe is currently also experiencing a population implosion (a significant decline of births as compared with the number of deaths), that could possibly be related to an initial singling out of secular Jewish ancestry Europeans. The people of the United States, Canada, Australia, South America, and Central America, as well as, perhaps people in other areas around the world, most likely also have at least one Jewish ancestor. Inhabitants of the Middle East and the surrounding areas more than likely have Jewish ancestry that can be found through genetic identification. World War I and World War II resulted in evil gaining more wealth, power, and control over the world population of people partly due to the fact that many practicing humanitarian and secular war wearied people reluctantly agreed to the furthering of evil, immoral agendas that were devised by the wicked. Further beware that through DNA identification, the diabolical agenda that the Nazi’s began, could conceivably be completed resulting in evil obtaining complete and total control over the world. Genetic identification could be used as an ultimate weapon against people and is an invasion of God’s privacy as well as, a tremendous invasion of the individual’s personal privacy. The obvious suggested solution is to eliminate all aspects of genetic identification of the individual. A return to the following of The Ten Commandments, the elimination of Capital Sins and Abominations and earnest prayer to God to enlist His support against this evil is suggested. Also, evil doers in positions of authority should be removed. In addition, be aware of this statement in Jeremiah 31:37 298 This is what the Lord says: “only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done” declares the Lord. One may perhaps contemplate the above Bible passage in relation to invasions of privacy which include genetic identification (Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s house). The unthinkable horror and hopefully remote possibility of the targeting for destruction and death of vast populations of world people through DNA genetic identification renders the following conclusion in Ecclesiastes 12: 13 and 14 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His Commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. Evil desires complete and total control over the world. One way to achieve this is possibly through the annihilation of God’s “chosen” people who can precisely be identified through DNA genetic identification. Commentary Electoral System Samuel 8: 6-9 But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their King. As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do.” For over two hundred years in the United States, most people voted for political candidates whose ideology agreed with theirs, with complete confidence that the votes were counted accurately and assigned to each candidate as cast. Recently however, it has come to light that the voting system whether ballot, electronic, or lever, has been compromised resulting in false tally’s. After reviewing much information and evidence regarding vote tampering, many people have stopped voting as they have determined that the voting system is completely corrupt. Others however, continue to vote apparently ignorant of the information provided in books and on the internet, or they are complacent with the corruption of the voting system, or they are agreeing with the corruption of the voting system. Some people may consider “voters” with full knowledge of the evidence regarding stolen elections as traitors to the nation. In the past, traitors have been severely punished for their disloyalty to the documentation regarding the establishment of the existing government. The evidence presented has shown that electronic and lever voting systems have been programmed to change the votes from one political candidate to another and add votes to a candidate when no person or people in fact, have 299 voted. The “phantom voters” have been discovered when comparing voter sign in sheets to the votes counted in a voting district. Ballots also have been tampered with as it has been shown that election officials have overstuffed the ballot box with votes of a desired candidate to obtain political office. On some occasions ballots were removed if cast for an “undesirable candidate” by those who are responsible for counting the votes. In both cases of ballot tampering, many times the sign in signatures of voters did not match the vote counts in a district. At other times, names shown on sign in sheets were the names of nonexistent individuals. In addressing the current situation of maintaining a “confidentiality of the vote”, it is important to note that some people may know how individuals are voting. Under the current voting systems, a sign in signature could be matched to the person’s vote. After signing in, an individual is assigned to a voting booth under the lever and electronic voting methods. The signature, matched to the booth assignment could reveal to officials the individual’s vote. Given this fact coupled with the realization that most of the individual’s personal privacies have been removed (review the commentary on Tyranny), then it is logical for one to ask; why are the votes kept confidential? The very aspect of confidentiality of the vote lends itself to the potential for huge corruption. A solution to this problem is to remove the “confidential” aspect of the electoral process. Full disclosure regarding the votes is necessary. This can be accomplished by providing the voter’s name, the voter’s identification number, and the voter’s vote(s). This information, open to public review and scrutiny would eliminate most all corruption in the tallying of votes. Realize also, that at this time, there appears to be a grand conspiracy to gain complete control of the world by some individuals. There is no better way to achieve this then by a concerted manipulation of the voting system. This conspiracy, with all of its human rights abuses, is part of the New World Order plan that many are familiar with. Some of these human rights abuses include: increased surveillance and monitoring of the population including private conversation and private activities, mandatory vaccination programs with an ever increasing quantity of vaccines administered to people, taxes to remove a person’s savings and inheritance, mandatory abortion and sterilization, euthanasia and assistance in suicide, increased exposure to radiation, legalizing and promoting dangerous drugs, depleting a nations resources with little or no benefit to the population, to identify several. In the United States, some people are realizing that the Democratic and Republican parties have the same agendas of working towards a New World Order consolidation of world governments. One party moves more quickly towards that goal, while the other party moves more slowly toward the New World Order plan. In summation, the outcome for the people is the same however, the time of attainment differs. For those people that are speaking out against immoralities and the destruction of society, taking a few steps backwards by one party to gain extra time to silence the protesters is many times all that is necessary. This is an old tactic used by evil to exhaust and remove moral opposition and resistance to evil agendas. 300 Furthermore, in most countries where abortion has not been approved, a mandatory voting system is the law of the land. The Central Intelligence Agency, World Fact book shows, when researching government under the heading suffrage, that Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru to identify some, have compulsory voting systems. 81 A few questions need to be answered. Could a “confidential” compulsory voting system that people suspect may be corrupt but are forced to vote in, lead to a power and control over the population? Could a “confidential” compulsory voting system lead to eventual abortion approval? Has abortion approval in other countries made it unnecessary to make voting compulsory and if so why? Evil desires power over the population. One way to achieve this is through a corrupt voting system. Commentary Abortion Jeremiah: 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart, I appointed you as a prophet to the nations”. One can likely trace the practice of abortion to the time period of Adam and Eve, the beginning and ancient years of a reasoning human civilization. In reviewing the history and rises and falls of past civilizations and empires , it becomes clear that successful societies were brought to their demise through a series of common occurrences, for examples, most all had similar and/or comparable problems of political strife, economic hardship, and militaristic brutality and/or incompetence. However, further research will sometimes provide information regarding societal practices. Where this information is provided, it is shown that one component that crept into the society and became part of past civilizations and empires societal values, just prior to their demise, was the social approval of child sacrifice including abortion and infanticide. Abortion procedures in the ancient past to more recent past, involved the ingestion of poisons by the woman, insertion of sharp materials into the cervix and womb, or physical trauma to the abdomen. During the middle ages, the bubonic plague otherwise known as the black death, resulted in the deaths of most of the population of people in Europe. Understand also that prior to and during this plague, many people in Europe were involved in occult practices including aspects of child sacrifice, including abortion and infanticide. The purpose of the above discussion, is to cite Europe during the middle ages as an example of a commonly known society destroyed, due to abortion and other occult, evil practices. Realize however, that similar situations have occurred time and again throughout the world, during various times in history. Following the middle ages, Western Civilization entered a time period of enlightenment where a good education became a population priority. Scholarly books became more widely available to the middle class population as the cost of books decreased due to the invention of the printing press. The Bible therefore became a widely read book. Beginning in the 1820’s in the United States, individual states began enacting laws rendering abortion illegal with the eventuality of all states criminalizing abortion by the year 1900. In 1869, the Catholic Church declared abortion at any stage of pregnancy to be homicide. That same year Canada prohibited abortion with a severe penalty for violating the law. In 1944, the first conceptions of human life occurred in a laboratory in the United States. Henceforth, laboratory abortions have become commonplace as people involved in implantation procedures, choose the number of children desired, the gender of children desired, and the heredity traits of the children desired for some examples. In addition, human beings are used in laboratories and clinics, for various experimentation procedures prior to being discarded. By the year 1960 in the United States, the abortifacient birth control pill was made available for public use. At about the same time in the United States , individual states began to approve abortion for reasons of rape and incest. 301 The birth control pill is a hormonal drug of progestin, estrogen, and steroids which are ingested on a daily basis, monthly basis, or quarterly basis, depending on the program. The birth control pill can prevent the conceived human being from attaching to the wall of the womb, causing abortion. Other abortion inducing drugs that can prevent implantation are administered through other various means including injection, insertion, and absorption. An absorption product available is a patch applied to the skin to release hormones into the body (Ortho Eura). An insertion product available is a thin rod inserted under the skin releasing hormones (Implanon). Other insertion devices are the vaginal ring and the intra uterine device (IUD). A contraceptive hormone injection is also available(Depo-Provera). And another ingestible contraceptive available that is commonly known as the morning after pill (Mifepristone), can be a combination of the hormones oestrogen/progestogen, or only oestrogen or only progestogen. 82 Once again, all of the above mentioned contraceptives can cause the abortion of a conceived human being by causing and preventing the individual’s attachment to the wall of the womb. These forms of contraceptives can also cause extensive health problems to the bodies of women who undergo these procedures. As one can clearly understand from the above discourse, women have been targeted and exploited by evil to obtain power over the population and vast wealth for themselves, through the obvious and clandestine killings of the human being. This premise and proof can be further argued with the following questions. Why was not a birth control agenda for men set forth, perhaps using a similar hormone and steroid based drug program? Is it possible that no wealth or power would be gained by evil through a contraceptive birth control program for men, due to the fact that no human life would be extinguished? Beginning in 1967 in the United States, individual states began to approve surgical and other drug induced abortion culminating with all states approving these methods by the year 1973. Later laboratories and clinics began procuring sperm and ovum through cash payment incentives and patient infertility issues, to be used for implantations and experimentations which in and of itself, has resulted in a massive loss of human life, further serving the agendas of evil. The obvious suggested solution to this problem is to eliminate all aspects of abortion procedures through government laws and legislation and through widespread population education programs that should include comprehensive historical and religious information. For those people seeking to reduce the number of children conceived and desire to assume some responsibility for this decision, the Natural Family Planning method has been shown to be effective (this advice is not based on the recommendation of abstinence in the commentary on Tyranny). Evil desires a brutal, immoral population. One way to achieve this goal is through the killing of the unborn human being. Commentary Secular Education Proverbs 22: 6 Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Early public education in the United States consisted of the exclusive teaching of six subject areas including reading, writing, mathematics, history, geography, and Bible study, according to bibliography reference “The Five Thousand Year Leap”. As the United States Constitution was written in accordance 302 to, and to comply with Biblical teachings, educators believed it imperative to include Bible study as a subject area to be taught in the public schools. Through this curriculum, the people of the United States became very well educated. Even foreigners who visited the United States prior to the middle 1850’s were amazed at the superior intellectual abilities of the general population. By the 1840’s however, Horace Mann, an influential national leader, promoted the beginnings of a new secularist public school curriculum where Biblical religion, morals, and values were merged with nationalism. Eventually this resulted in a gradual but complete disappearance of Bible study and the teaching of Biblical morality in the public school. Today, school boards and school administrators decide on the relevance of subject areas for study and they decide on the curriculum and how the curriculum is to be taught. Henceforth, they establish their own morality to be taught to school children. Currently, the “morality” taught in secular schools is a curriculum of immorality, which serves the New World Order’s evil philosophies. It is important to realize prior to this commentary, that for each and every immoral instruction, harm is inflicted on the school child. Satanic forces can begin to gain control over the school child beginning in kindergarten. As the child progresses through thirteen years of secular schooling, he or she has experienced and has been subjected to usually an onslaught of immorality. Colleges and universities may further compound these attacks with further exposure to more immorality. For children who are not well versed in Biblical morality, evil expands through ill begotten indoctrination. It is no wonder why society is currently facing extremely difficult and insurmountable problems (see the other commentaries for examples), as it is today. Creationism, if taught at all in secular schools is presented to students in a vague, unbelievable, illogical, way for deceptive purposes. An important part in the teaching of creationism is to explain this topic in a historical, religious, and scientific context. Human beings have inhabited the planet earth for over two million years, feeding themselves through hunting and gathering. About twelve thousand years ago, they suddenly realized that food could be raised and grown right outside of their home. Thus people became farmers and life became easier. This increased intellect in becoming farmers, most probably and logically coincides with the arrival of Adam and Eve, according to a Biblical timeline citing the arrival of Adam and Eve at 4000 years plus BCE (before the common era). Adam and Eve were provided with increased intelligence by God, provided that they abide by the rules that were set forth by God. One can now understand this part of creationism as it is explained in a factual, verifiable, and logical way. Teaching a tolerance for homosexuality is abominable, immoral, and subjects students to the harm of evil. The teaching of tolerance of immorality is akin to the acceptance of immorality which many times, results in the individual engaging in immorality. The teaching of students about the dangers of drugs involves identifying most everything as a drug. Coffee, tea, cigarettes, and many foods contain drugs according to the masters of curriculum. Therefore many students can surmise that taking drugs is acceptable based on the teachings that most everything contains drugs as chemicals are drugs. An elementary school curriculum to differentiate the difference between a fruit or vegetable states that the determining factor is that a fruit contains seeds, and a vegetable does not contain seeds. Therefore, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers for examples, are fruits. The determination of a fruit or 303 vegetable is based on the sugar content of the produce at the optimum ripeness, perennial or annual nature of the plant and the plant genus. It is clear that some educators desire to confuse and corrupt the children and cause consternation with parents. These examples of immoralities taught, bears false witness against neighbors and violates at least one Commandment. Many secular schools have decided that basic skills are no longer necessary due to various computer reliance and so have omitted primary teachings from curriculum. This has resulted in the destruction of the foundation that other ideas are built upon therefore limiting a child’s scope of thinking. In addition, reliance on computers in an evil society is foolhardy and dangerous. At some point during the early years of this century, some computers were beginning to be programmed to provide false answers. Too many subject areas covered in school curriculum results in watered down, insignificant, tidbits of information being acquired by students that cannot be considered to be learning. Much curriculum of subject matters are taught as separate entities with little or no relevance to other subject areas which results in student’s inability to understand worldly matters as one matter relates to another. Johann Pestalozzi, a Swiss educator of the nineteenth century, wrote extensively about the importance of showing relevance to all subject areas to develop a basic wisdom in people so as to better serve God, themselves, and others. Also, curriculum has become increasingly disjointed with following little or no sequence from year to year throughout schooling. This creates confusion, frustration, and complacency in students that further serve evil’s agendas. Parental authority is continually usurped through various means. Legitimate disciplining of the student child by parents has been reported to teachers and school officials who contact social services to chastise parents for not disciplining children in the way that social services and the secular school, deems is appropriate. On the other hand, serious violations against children are reported to school officials but have been ignored, largely due to the fact that that particular family has already been destroyed. Journal/diaries are requirements in some classrooms where students are asked to write about their personal thoughts on various topics or simply free will writings. These writings are reviewed by teachers, school psychologists, and other staff who sometimes uses the writings for justification to interfere in private and personal family matters. Interruptions occurring throughout the day, deprive students of learning. Special remedial or advanced programs in the secular schools require some students to be removed from the classroom at various times during the school day. This results in distractions and an interruption of learning for all students and becomes an added burden for teachers as they need to provide for a repetition of instruction for absent students. It is plain to understand by this example, how secular schools accommodate corrupt practices as it relates to an individual and how they do not accommodate good practices as it relates to individuals, as part of a larger group. Complicating curriculum has been another agenda of evil in the secular school system. Beginning in the early 1970’s new mathematics replaced the older, easier way of solving mathematical problems. This resulted in many students becoming confused and frustrated resulting in an increase in student’s failures in mathematics. Phonics, as a proven successful way of 304 learning to read, was replaced with a whole language approach resulting in serious illiterate problems of students extending into upper elementary to high school years for some. Secular schools today do not seem to subscribe to the old adage of wisdom that states “If it is not broken, then do not fix it”. Many instead subscribe to “If it is not broken, then break it”, an obvious evil rendition of the anti-good. Literature reading programs in secular schools many times, require the reading of violent, pornographic, and psychologically bizarre books, furthering evil’s desire to convert the youth to deadly agendas of immorality. Certain reading incentive programs, some involving outside groups are shown to be corrupt. The outcome of one reading program pressures parents to dine at a specific restaurant through the issuing of coupons to students, while the teachers promoting the program, earn free airline tickets. Inviting outsiders into the secular schools for various programs creates at minimum diversions and distractions from learning and at maximum inflicts sometimes irreparable damages on students, such as those school programs offered through Planned Parenthood. There seems to be a correlation that providing more money to schools, has resulted in poorer academic student achievement. Also realize that most of the additional money funded to schools is to provide for the ever increasing salaries and annual pensions of secular school staff. Explicit sexual education programs causes anxiety, embarrassment, and sensations of incredulity in many student’s psyche due to being taught such a personal topic in a communal setting. High school locker rooms and showers provide little privacy for changing into gym and sports uniforms. It is likely in an evil society such as this, that much immorality has transpired in the secular school’s communal “bath houses”. In addition, school sports uniforms, cheerleader’s dress and other sports team’s attire, has become increasingly scanty over recent years. Expanded school sports programs have resulted in an inordinate amount of academic time, used for frivolous activities. After graduating from secular schools and obtaining employ, many employers have found it necessary to teach employees basic reading, writing, and grammatical skills as the secular school employee is unable to function competently in their job due to a severe lack of basic educational skills. To remedy the serious problems in today’s secular schools, several suggestions are offered with the following. A return to the exclusive teaching of the six subject areas (reading, writing, mathematics, history, geography, and Bible study), that were successful in the past are needed as well the addition of science. These subject areas should follow in sequence from year to year to build a solid foundation and provide relevance for the students. Computers should not be used or be relied on by students, for the duration of grades kindergarten through eighth grade. Special remedial or advanced programs for some students should be offered before or after school or during recess, to prevent needless interruptions and distractions for all students during the designated school day. Mandatory after school hours volunteer programs, to involve high school students in the community, benefits both students and recipients. Benefits to students include an expanding of their understanding of others through important compassionate work in perhaps by serving in nursing homes, hospitals, social service programs to feed and house the needy, or by serving the community in other ways. Through 305 volunteering, the student also gains valuable experiences for the benefit of his or her future occupation. The benefits to the recipients are obvious as there are more people available to attend to the various needs of the community. For parents who are currently struggling with secular school curriculum where homeschooling or parochial schooling options are not a viable alternative, then the parental supplementing of a religious education program based on the Ten Commandments, Capital Sins, and Abominations taught to one’s own child(ren) is advisable. Various books geared to specific age groups are available to assist with this instruction. All students should be provided with a lunch break in a cafeteria setting and the “grab and go” policies of eating lunch in the classroom should be eliminated due to the problems at minimum of student distractions and insect and vermin infestations in classrooms. Expanded after school sports programs belong in the realm of town and community recreation programs. Too much academic time is being wasted with sports related events and fanfare during the school day. School curriculum is everybody’s business. If the schools are graduating immoral youths, everyone’s life is placed in jeopardy (refer to the other commentaries and the books in the bibliography). Therefore, all school curriculum including the textbooks used for instruction, worksheet materials, other literature books read, films viewed, activities planned, health appointments scheduled with the school nurse, and specific, weekly teacher’s plans for examples, should be posted on the website of the school. The posting of a confirmed specific curriculum should be made available for public review and scrutiny one year prior to implementation, to allow for community study, objections if any, and the subsequent community approval of the curriculum. Evil desires a population of immoral idiots. One way to achieve this is to prevent intelligent learning. Commentary Mass Media Mass media can be defined as the delivery of information to a large population of people. The first modern venue used to convey information and influence the masses was the newspaper and magazine largely distributed to the population beginning in the early years of the 1800’s, in the United States. The oral presentation of information to the masses began in the United States with the debut of the radio in 1920. Television appeared, using both oral and visual methods to engage and indoctrinate viewers by the middle of the 1940’s. At this time, a few media moguls began to gain control over newspapers, magazines, radio, and television. In understanding the evil New World Order’s goals and agendas, the probability of a specific ongoing brainwashing agenda delivered to the public over a course of about eighty years through compounded mass media outlets (newspapers, magazines, radio, and television), is likely. The situation of a few controlling the dissemination of information through these vehicles of mass media only began to change in the middle to late 1990’s when internet access was made available to the general public. By the early years of this century, finally alternate views and information could be and were presented to the public by other groups and individuals. Many of these views were written to 306 counter at least eighty years of indoctrination by evil that used mass media vehicles to accomplish malicious goals. To substantiate the above discourse of the gradual and insidious process used to convert the population to gross immorality a few obvious examples are provided with the following facts. In the early years of televised broadcasting, people on television were shown to the public in a professional way through a tidy appearance that included neat attire and good grooming. Cussing, derogatory language, and disgusting subject matter was considered completely off limits and outrageous by the moral majority and thus was not permitted to be aired to the population, by the governmental authorities. During the early years of mass media, programming usually followed the proper guidelines of storytelling by answering the important questions of who, what, why, when, where, which, and sometimes how, that provides a sane way of delivering information. Adult couples were never shown occupying the same bed on mass media television and the results of violence were not graphically depicted. The early years of radio followed a similar professional format using appropriate and civilized language to relay information. Gradually, over time, however various restrictions and restraints on television and radio were removed resulting in the gross immoralities that one views and hears today on a continual and constant basis. At this time, violence for example, is depicted on television in a horrendously graphic way, submersions into the occult world are suggested in much programming, pornography and pornographic subject matter overwhelms viewers and listeners alike, and invasions of beings from outer space have terrorized viewing audiences. To provide further analysis and evidence regarding an evil conspiracy to destroy populations of people through immoral mass media indoctrination, The Ten Commandments are cited together with examples on how the media influences the public to violate these Laws. I: I the Lord, am thy God… you shall have no other gods besides me. There are many examples the mass media uses to suggest violating this Commandment. One way is through programming stories about out of space creatures and monsters that are promoting and influencing a disbelief in God. Another way to suggest the deposing of God is through the mass media’s depictions of manmade extraordinary scientific feats. II: Thou shall not make unto thee any image of idolatry, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. As most people know, idols are constantly being promoted by the media to the public. For examples actors, actresses, and various consumer products can become idols for some people. The second part of this Commandment is continuously violated in the media through various images. In addition, subliminal messages in mass media exposes viewers to immorality in a psychological way that influences viewers to agree with the immorality being promoted, unconsciously. 307 III: Thou shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. An example portraying and promoting a violation of this Commandment is depicting the calling on God in a casual way, as seen on some sitcoms. IV: Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day. Probably most media should not be viewed on the Sabbath day due to the heavy influence, promotion, and suggestions of violating God’s Laws. V: Honor your father and mother. Most can clearly recognize how media parents are many times lied to, screamed at, badgered, disregarded, and belittled to provide some examples, by their media children thus promoting this same behavior by real children to real parents. VI: Thou shall not kill. The population has been overwhelmed with the presentation of murder, extreme murder, and bizarre murder that is portrayed and constantly viewed by the population, through the vehicles of mass media. VII: Thou shall not commit adultery. The suggestion to commit adultery through depictions of adulterous relationships in mass media, has inundated the population to the point where committing adultery has almost become an acceptable expectation. (This commentary is not based on some of the questions raised in the Commentary on Tyranny.) VIII: Thou shall not steal. Portrayals in the mass media of stealing are divided. Some programming depicts stealing as a punishable crime, whereas other mass media depicts a kind of appreciation, humor, and heroism for thieves. IX: Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Lying is rampantly depicted in most media and is common place in much on the children’s programming, resulting in the teaching of the young, mostly innocent mind to engage in lying and exaggeration which becomes a strong precursor to violating the other Commandments and engaging in Capital sins and Abominations. X: Thou shall not covet your neighbor’s house. Enticements and temptations to want what others have overwhelmed viewers continually in mass media, through various programming and advertisements. The result of acting on mass media’s 308 bombardments of displays of wealth and product advertising for example, have resulted in huge debts and misery for some people, serving evil’s purposes. Rejection of the mass media that influences the violating of some or all of The Ten Commandments is an initial step and an important part of removing evil from within society and necessary to reestablish a covenant with God, as Kings 2: 23:14 states: Josiah smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles and covered the sites with human bones. Based on the above analysis it is understandable and obvious how evil has used the vehicles of mass media to infiltrate homes and harm individuals through brainwashing techniques and to convert people to deadly immoral agendas that are determined by the wicked. The best advice that can be offered is to remove as much exposure to mass media by substituting the time allotted for mass media with other activities. This is difficult at first but becomes easier as time transpires. In fact, mass media can become repulsive to one over a time period of abstention. Also, many people view television when tired which may add to the susceptibility of the person to the brainwashing techniques of television media. For this situation, the reading of moral books may be a good substitute for those seeking a restful alternative to television. Due to invasions of privacy, more people rely on mass media for one way communication. It is very likely that brainwashing and indoctrination through mass media outlets has increased, due to more people spending increased time viewing television and internet for the above stated reason. Evil is also aware of this situation and therefore may have intentionally increased the amount of immorality portrayed, through mass media outlets. For some parents, it has become difficult to have lengthy conversations with their children because of fears of privacy invasions, so these parents may turn to television to occupy children’s time. Until this situation is resolved, parents can review children’s programming in DVD or VHS format prior to the viewing by children. Through careful discernment, much immoral children’s programming can be eliminated. Parents may consider that some children’s television programming is morally acceptable, and thus permissible for children to view. But be advised that some commercials shown in between the programming can be immoral. Adults can also protect themselves from immoral indoctrination by viewing only moral, advertisement free, DVD’s and VHS format shows. In conclusion, most of the mass media suggests and promotes the breaking of some or sometimes all of The Ten Commandments, influences participation in Capital sins, indirectly promotes Abominations, and uses a variety of psychological devices against the public to achieve their goals. The mass media is a major machination used by evil to obtain goals of perpetuating misery and destruction on the population of people for the purpose of providing a relatively few people, with vast wealth and a power over the population, that is provided by Satan. To combat the largely insidious nature of mass media’s influences, sincere prayer to God, careful scrutiny, and/or a rejection of mass media is necessary. Evil desires a population that agrees with evil for destructive reasons. One way to achieve this goal is through brainwashing the population to immorality, through the use of mass media. 309 Commentary Tyranny In researching the history of invasions of personal privacy through the use of technological devices, one can deduce that the onset of this perversion began in the Soviet Union by the year 1920. It has been documented that by 1960, Eastern Europe was inundated with electronic eavesdropping devices. The approval of abortion by the communist governments beginning in 1920 in the Soviet Union and 1955 for most all of the communist bloc nations of Eastern Europe, correlates with privacy invasions for these nations, through the use of espionage technology. It is likely that the approval of the abortifacient birth control pill in other countries around the world, subjected entire populations of people to technological invasions of privacy. The term abortifacient can be defined as any drug or device that can allow for the conception of a human life but prevents the human being from attaching to the wall of the womb, that is of course necessary for sustaining that individual’s life. To prevent the attachment of the human being to the wall of the womb is akin to depriving a person of food, oxygen, and water to cause the death of an individual. In the United States, beginning in the year 1944, human beings began to be conceived in laboratories for experimentation and implantation procedures, which over time has resulted in the massive loss of human life and the subsequent breaking of God’s Laws, which further enabled evil to invade personal privacies. It should also be noted that one country, Romania, severely restricted drug induced and surgical abortion between the years 1967 to 1989, however abortifacient birth control drugs and devices were still available that most likely subjected the country’s population to invasions of privacy through technology. Also, other evil agendas in Romanian society continued unabated. Thirty nine years ago in June 1972, it was found in a political party’s main office in the Watergate office complex in Washington D.C., well hidden, miniscule eavesdropping devices. The outrage that followed resulted in an inquiry and the subsequent conviction of five men involved in the installation of these devices. Several years later retail stores began operations selling eavesdropping, surveillance, and tracking equipment for some examples, to the general public thereby engaging the users of this equipment in various Capital sins and at minimum the breaking of two Commandments, Thou shall not covet and Thou shall not steal. At this time, as many know, technology has advanced at a tremendous rate since the early years of the 1970’s. Today, if one is not involved or parlay to technological invasions of privacy, it is difficult to know for certain how extensive, frequent, and widespread these assaults are against the population of people. Recent documentations of invasions of personal privacy are few. One recent news report however, discussed computers that were equipped with a web camera that when activated, violated the personal privacy of some individuals through the transmission of various images to an outside source. Goggles enabling the viewer to see through clothing were available for purchase in the early years of this century. Many consumer and industrial products contain and/or have access to the necessary equipment for eavesdropping and surveillance. Some of these devices include transmitters, transistors, microphones, transducers, amplifiers, cameras, satellites and fiber optic systems. Gaining one way access to personal, private information such as intimate conversation and activities may be as simple as dialing a number or pushing buttons with a code specifically assigned to an individual, a residence, or a place of business. It is easy to surmise why evil may desire personal information on people as evil desires to destroy people in as many ways as possible (see the other 310 commentaries for examples), to gain power over the population and wealth for themselves. People are harmed through invasions of privacy in many ways. For example, lives are stolen, relationships are destroyed, and ideas and intellect are denied to their rightful owners. Invasions of personal privacy yields vast information concerning individuals including, but not limited to social, psychological, intellectual, sexual, and religious profiles. Also, habits, energy levels, attitudes, opinions, likes and dislikes, dedication, principles, ethics, and motivation to suggest some, are subject to the study of evil for destructive purposes. Evil can use this information to launch attacks against individuals or groups of people. The results of invasions of personal privacy can include stress, anxieties, confusion, disorientation, engagement in further immoralities, and sometimes even death to the victims of this travesty further serving the agendas of evil. A further clarification is cited in Daniel 11: 31 and 32: His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice. Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation. With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him. If the private homes of human beings have indeed been invaded through the use of technological devices, then the entire issue of marriage for example and the sanctioning and validity thereof, is in question. It is commonly believed that marriage is an intimate relationship between two people, a man and a woman. Be aware however, that this fact is not stated in Black Law’s Dictionary’s definition of marriage nor is it stated in Webster’s Dictionary’s definition of marriage. Perhaps old editions of these dictionaries yield a definition based on the commonly known definition of marriage. Probably God would not sanction a marriage where the personal home of the couple is compromised by “invisible strangers”. The validity of marriage may be subject to the prior knowledge of the couple entering into the marriage union. Therefore, the implications for marriage alone, where the personal privacies of the couple have been violated through technological means are great. It is little wonder, why society is currently facing legalizations of same sex “marriage”, multiple partner “marriage”, and other insane “marriage” schemes and arrangements. An ever increasing “divorce” rate under these circumstances is also understandable. If invasions of personal privacy are occurring and one may believe that they are based on circumstantial evidence and sufficient although limited solid evidence, then sexual orientation does not matter, as all people should abstain from sexual relations. In addition, any incriminating conversation should be eliminated (see the discussion in this commentary on profiles). Personal sacrifice is many times necessary to remove tremendous evils from society together with earnest prayer to God. To eliminate this extremely malicious evil from society, a return to following the Ten Commandments including eliminating abortifacient birth control drugs and devices and drug and surgical induced abortion as well as the discarding and experimentation of laboratory conceptions of human life, is necessary (Thou shall not kill). Capital sins and abominations as well should be eliminated as a possible action or reaction to circumstances. It is also more than likely, based on the reading of some of the 311 Books in The Bible, that population repentance (that is the repentance of many individuals) from grave sins, is necessary to enlist God’s support in removing invasions of personal privacy by evil. Evil desires an undignified, subservient population. One way to achieve this is through enlisting technology to invade the personal privacy of people. Commentary Family Throughout the millenniums the family has been the mainstay and the reason for the very survival of the human race. The dividing of jobs among family members, usually satisfied the requirements for life of the group. The emotional support of love, care, and concern for family members provided for family productiveness and happiness. During various times in recorded history, the family was attacked by evil within the society which when left unchecked, eventually resulted in the destruction of that entire society. In recent history, strong and moral families have been credited with the prosperity that many of us have enjoyed until more current times. Immoral evil forces understand that the way to undermine and fracture society, gaining tremendous wealth and power for themselves and their families, is to annihilate the families of the populace through immorality. During modern times, the recommended moral route was for a couple to remain chaste before marriage, working at jobs and focusing their attention on the accumulation of wealth to be used for their future home. After marriage most couples continued to work at places of employment until children arrived, requiring the wife and mother to indefinitely postpone career endeavors. This suited the family’s needs as the man earned the wages and the woman served as caregiver to the family. This congenial situation was torn asunder beginning in the 1960’s. Women representatives of evil forces known as “feminists” were able to influence women into believing that their jobs at home were unappreciated by family members and were menial jobs of drudgery and uselessness. The “feminists” convinced women across the United States that jobs of importance with good salaries were waiting for them in the workforce. Some men also became stingy with the purchasing of necessities and told their wives to earn some money. Others suggested their wives return back to work to provide the family with extra material goods that were being heavily promoted and advertised at that time on television and in print media. Women with young children were concerned with the “right time” to return to work. Mental health professionals created a dissonance among women as the more conservative ones stated that six years old (full time student) was the “right” age. Others stated that three years old was the “right time”. So, depending upon a liberal or conservative point of view, women with young children returned to the workforce, relying mostly on babysitters for childcare. Today, the “right time” for a woman to return to work is when her infant is six weeks old. This mentality of women quickly returning to the workforce with young children at home has created a wide array of problems for all family members and has resulted in the disintegration of many family units. For example, babies and children in day care situations, have suffered from an inordinate amount of illnesses. At the end of a long day in day care, babies and young children are not just tired, but are 312 exhausted, cranky and overstressed. Some babies suffer from post traumatic stress disorder where they have become so overwhelmed and frightened to be left with strangers, that they become numb and emotionless akin to the removal or dulling of the human spirit. Proper nutrition of the child and all family members has suffered in a hurried environment. Dirty houses due to lack of time to thoroughly clean all areas of the home, has resulted in allergies that rarely existed prior to women returning to paid employ. Stress, the result of a rushed, disorganized living environment has caused mental and physical health problems, divorces, and family estrangements. Other problems of immorality in the schools and community that are left unchecked due to the lack of time, have allowed evil to continue unabated with devastating consequences to families. Unattended and unsupervised children have become involved in the immoralities of promiscuity, drugs, alcohol, violence, pornography, and have become victims of pedophiles and rapists. Children are not receiving a religious education or the education of common sense taught by families in the past. This has lead to vast differences in society’s perceptions of developmental age and chronological age. Many children are less mature for their age now than they were in the past. However, society still allows some adult privileges at a given age. For example, most teenagers today are not responsible enough or mature enough to drive a car, yet they are permitted to do so by the government. This has resulted in unprecedented accident injuries and fatalities among the youth. Children of low maturity level are also provided with a detailed sexual education through public school and media that has inflicted great harm on many youths. The return of women with minor children to employment has also resulted in a preoccupation with materialism that has resulted for some, in huge debts. And, men’s salaries in real terms (purchasing power), has declined to reflect a workforce that has doubled. In considering the above history and effects of women with minor children returning to the workforce, it is easy to understand how evil forces have meticulously planned a strategy to devastate families. Another falsehood that has been promoted by evil to destroy the family through an innuendo is that others care more for family members than the family cares. This tactic involves evil troublemakers and outsiders who cause situations, to create family animosities, divisions, anger, mistrust, anxieties, and other problems that occur when evil interferes, exerting and peddling it’s influences ( refer to the other commentaries) for examples. In an evil society such as this, the first and foremost priority should be the protection and continued functioning of the family.
