WIDESPREAD USE OF BRAINWASHING

WIDESPREAD USE OF BRAINWASHING

Scholars have known for several decades that religious leaders are using brainwashing as a control mechanism for parishioners. Throughout American history there have been several severe cases of religious brainwashing that has caused the death of hundreds of Americans. Brainwashing reached its peak when parents, not only drank the poisonous cool-aid, but gave it to their children. Today, thousands are trapped by religious organizations using fear as a false motivation for doing good. Nevertheless, America is a changing society and today, brainwashing can no longer be limited to just religious groups. Only in the last few years have Americans been exposed to political brainwashing. Confusion in the political arena has caused many Americans to seek extreme methods for “political correctness.”

Americans have never come close to experiencing the widespread use of political brainwashing as in the Trump administration. The majority of Americans never dreamed that a person could commit as many unlawful acts as Donald Trump and still be elected as the president of the United States. Sometimes when societies become confused and start looking for something better, they end up with something worse. It is time that someone respectfully tells Americans that the time for ignorance in the political system is over. We must for the sake of future generations save the greatest nation on the planet. For the sake of democracy, we must face facts and there are no alternative facts in this matter.

The word “cult” can no longer be associated with religious groups only. Republicans have turned a political party into a cult and within the Republican Party, Donald Trump, has been ordained as the divine leader. A cult is defined as an organization where devout followers believe that the leader can do no wrong, and whatever the leader says is true, is the truth.

Thomas Frank, a renowned author and public speaker, said in a recent speech entitled, WHAT TO MAKE OF THE AGE OF TRUMP, “The system is ridged and Donald Trump ridged the system. Even if Trump is defeated in November, Trump-ism will not go away. Rest assured Republicans will not take defeat lying down. Already there are those waiting in the wings, like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, who are ready to carry the Trump flag. However, they are smarter than Trump and will not make the same mistakes. They will not make fun of handicap reporters. They will not go around grabbing women by their privates. They will not write checks to pay to silence porn stars which they have had sex.” To support these acts or politicians who engage in such acts, is undeniable brainwashing.

Even though Joe Biden may win in November 2020, the Democratic Party will face serious challenges. What the Democrats need to do, at the present, is start looking for a young, Bernie Sanders. In order for the Democratic Party to remain a viable political party they must continue “the movement” started by Bernie. They must show America and the world that “Medicare for All” is a possibility. They must show Americans that education is high on their list of priorities. They must provide advance studies for all those who desire higher education. Democrats must prove that they are ready and willing to enforce a 15.00 dollar an hour minimum wage, plus annual wage increases in accordance with price of living index. Democrats must prove to all Americans that they will support legislation that makes it easier to join Labor Unions.

Even though this is called the Age of Trump and there are still thousands of “die hard” Trump supporters; in time, the Republican Party, as we know it today, will be defeated. The unscrupulous methods used by Republicans to remain in power will be rejected by American voters. It may not happen as quick as many of us would desire but it will happen. That being said, it does not keep many of us from worrying about America’s future. We must not take anything for granted. We must do everything within our power to see that citizens know the truth, and that nothing will keep us from voting in November.

(You can brainwash some of the people all the time; but you cannot brainwash all the people all the time.)

AND WE CALLED HIM BROTHER MYERS

I have written a book that tells the story of a famous, country preacher during the years of my growing up experiences in Louisiana. The church was the center of social activities, and this particular young boy spent many hours attending church services. In this book I not only relate some of the popular sermons preached by Brother Myers, but I also give examples of some things that happened in the church that were comical. For example, there was one night, during a serious sermon, that a big, bug got entangled in the hair of one of the sisters. To a nine year old boy comical reactions followed. That same bug began to dip down into the hair of other ladies in the congregation. Many interpreted their reactions as spirit-filled moments, but others saw the bug and knew the real story.

I also tell the story of the yellow jacket that got caught up under the skirt of Miss Nellie on one particular Sunday morning church service. Once again many thought that Miss Nellie’s actions were spirit-filled, but others knew that a yellow jacket was of the stinging type. The most exciting story that I describe is when Sister Simmons shouted during the annual church revival. Regular church members had learned to dodge the bobby pins that flew like bullets through the church when she performed her famous “head jerk,” procedure.

At the end the book I retell the story of White Sunday. It is an emotional story about an African Americn lady who wanted nothing more than her children to learn about Jesus Christ. So she asked permission for her family to attend a white church and sit on the back row. The act of having to ask permission and being forced to sit on the bank row disturbs me even until this day. This reminds me of present day evangelical Christianity, when a gay man is refused membership to a white church. Or when church members refuse to sit by same-sex couples in church, or when a sign is posted on the church door that says, same-sex couples not welcome.

From the beginning of evangelical Christianity in America, very little real Christianity has been portrayed. It is hard to imagine Jesus denying anyone the privilege of listening to his sermons. I speak with disgust, because it still gets under my skin that as a child I was brainwashed to take part in such unchristian edicts.

Moving from my soap box, I hope that many of you will read and be blessed by the book entitled, AND WE CALLED HIM BROTHER MYERS. The book can be ordered from Amazon.com and is part of my religious series.

GOOD MORNING CLASS

The vast majority of the world’s population has spent time in a classroom. Some of that time was interesting but most of the time was boring, some of the time was informative but most was a waste of time. The book GOOD MORNING CLASS is interesting, informative, and at times, emotional. Teachers, parents, and students, can benefit from the information contained within this book.

Most adults have an interest in what goes on inside the classroom. Parents have special concerns that their children are being taught by qualified professional teachers. This book proves what can be accomplished when a professional steps inside a classroom. Professionalism is required for a teacher to create an interesting environment for learning in a classroom filled with thirty or more diverse students. A professional is also required in maintaining order and establishing an informative environment conducive for learning.

Substitute teachers have a more difficult task engaging students in something other than what students call “busy work.” GOOD MORNING CLASS is a story of one day in the life of a substitute teacher who was determined to employ students in some kind of constructive learning other than busy work. In so doing he faced rudeness, criticism, and slander, which he handled in a professional manner. In the end, he gained respect from most of the students and managed to maintain a learning environment.

IT'S NOT ME

IT’S NOT ME

Mirror, mirror, answer me,
who is this strange face that I see?
Could it be someone I don’t know,
a different person in a different show?

For Father Time has not stopped,
the hands have moved around the clock,
And now I look and can barely see
the strange face that stares back at me.

But when I look deep into those eyes,
I see the roads and remember the miles.
I see the paths that I have crossed,
and remember the friends who paid the cost.

I read the signs along the way
and heard the many voices say,
so fast the time, so fast the years,
over distance meadows, and rolling hills.

Sunsets, sunrises, I have seen,
many happy times were meant for me.
But death did knock on my front door,
and say to me, “Time is no more.”

The creepy crawlers in the night,
came and tried to take my life.
But I awoke and cried out loud,
“This white sheet is not my shroud!”

There are too many places I’ve never been
and too many faces I’ve never seen.
Great bodies of water I have crossed,
and in a land of needy there were coins to toss.

I’ve talked with the living and held hands with the
dead,
And listened to the spirits play games in my head.
I’ve spoken in languages I did not understand,
and made peace with myself, in a far away land.

I’ve seen people with hands out needing coins to eat,
and watched hunger devour that wasn’t so neat.
I’ve seen people made happy with so little it seemed,
and I’ve learned great lessons about material things.

So if Father Time should say to me,
a little more time I give to thee.
I will use that time preciously.

But if I’m walking my last mile,
I will walk proud and I’ll wear a smile.
“If it’s minutes, if it is hours, if it is days…
I don’t know.”
But one thing’s for certain I’ve enjoyed the show.
