  Keeping Family Secrets - Shame...

  All families have secrets but the facts requiring secrecy change with time. Nowadays a lesbian partnership, a "bastard" son, or a criminal grandfather might be of little or no consequence but could have unraveled a family at an earlier moment in history. Margaret K. Nelson is interested in how families keep secrets from each other and from outsiders when to do otherwise would risk eliciting not only embarrassment or discomfort, but profound shame and, in some cases, danger. Drawing on over 150 memoirs describing childhoods in the period between the aftermath of World War II and the 1960s, Nelson highlights the importance of history in creating family secrets and demonstrates the use of personal stories to understand how people make sense of themselves and their social worlds. 
   
   
   
  Keeping Family Secrets uncovers hidden stories of same-sex attraction among boys, unwed pregnancies among teenage girls, the institutionalization of children with mental and physical disabilities, participation in left-wing political activities, adoption, and Jewish ancestry. The members of ordinary families kept these issues secret to hide the disconnect between the reality of their own family and the prevailing ideals of what a family should be. Keeping Family Secrets sheds light not only on decades-old secrets but pushes us to confront what secrets our families keep today.

  Mexican Drug Cartels - Their...

  The Mexican drug war, also known as the Guerra contra el narcotráfico en México, is the Mexican theater of the global war on drugs, a campaign led by the United States federal government. This war has resulted in a protracted, asymmetric low-intensity conflict between the Mexican government and various drug trafficking organizations. The Mexican government’s main objective when it intervened militarily in 2006 was to curb drug-related violence, which had escalated in the preceding years. The government’s stated aim, in collaboration with U.S. officials, was to eliminate the cartels and reduce the demand for drugs trafficking. 
  Violence erupted after the 1989 arrest of Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, who was the leader and founder of Mexico’s first major drug cartel, the Guadalajara Cartel. His arrest led to the dissolution of the cartel as high-ranking members splintered off to create their own groups. This fragmentation gave rise to the Sinaloa, Juarez, Tijuana, and Sonora cartels, among others, which began to battle for control over lucrative trafficking routes and territories. This marked a new chapter in the drug war, with the cartels becoming increasingly violent in their efforts to secure dominance. 
  Mexican drug trafficking organizations have been a powerful force for decades, but their power surged significantly in the 1990s after the collapse of the Colombian Cali and Medellín cartels. By 2007, Mexican criminal groups controlled an overwhelming 90% of the cocaine entering the United States. Efforts to arrest cartel leaders, including those in the Tijuana and Gulf cartels, often resulted in even more violence, as smaller gangs competed for control over key drug trade routes into the U.S.

  Your Right to Self-Identify My...

  In today’s world, a new social contagion is being spread by provocateurs and social media influencers who are determined to pressure people into accepting falsehood over truth. Battle lines have been drawn on both sides of the debate regarding “Transgenderism” and the mental health effects of Gender Dysphoria. As the battle rages, First Amendments Rights of Freedom of Speech that protect people’s rights to say unpopular things without government interference, and the right to refuse to say things the government wants said, are being called into question. 
  The minority group argues that it is their right to “Self-Identify” as whatever they wish in order to accommodate their thoughts and feelings instead of accepting their bodily realities, thereby defying biological design in the process. In response, the majority fight to maintain their right to disagree with people who psychologists say suffer from mental health issues. Common sense and basic language are being challenged and unfamiliar and innovative words have been invented to define one hundred and twelve genders, as claimed by Transgender Activists. This recent phenomenon leaves society to face many provocative questions. 
  Should the thoughts and feelings of one group override another groups desire to rely on truth and biological facts? Who is oppressing whom? For the God-Conscious, what roll does our Creator play in it all?

  Heal the Presence of the Past

  HEAL PRESENCE OF THE PASTFamilies repeat unresolved trauma in future generations.We are influenced by those who came before us and influencing those who come after. Everything in the universe is interconnected so are we. We inherit cultures and experiences. This is known as collective unconscious or memory in nature.It organises itself in systems such as flock of birds, religions, countries, football teams and so on, but the most important system for human beings is the family. Family systems are responsible for how we live and how we thrive through natural laws called 'The Orders of Love".The orders of love rarely exist intact within the average family. They dictate who belongs and what will happen to the family when a member has been excluded by them in an attempt to achieve collective hamony. Exclusions are separations and create trauma, disruption and unbalance. They are known as entanglements and are cause of pain and suffering. Restablishing these orders will bring peace an freedom to the individual and to the group.'The idea of the memory being the brain is an assumption. Everything that happens in our culture we inherit,' Rupert Sheldrake.Whilst life is the greatest gift given to us by our parents, trauma is the greatest obstacle. It plays like a broken record, in cycles and shows itself through symptoms well known to all:  drug addiction, lack of motivation, new partner with the same behaviour as the old one, always working but broke most of the time...- What if a man’s drug addiction were really a search for connection with his father?- Suppose a suicidal adolescent was unconsciously trying to follow the fate of an older brother who wasn't born because the mother had a miscarriage?- What if a woman’s breast cancer were rooted in the unconscious feeling of guilt for having had an abortion?- Why do marriages where a spouse who cheated then was forgiven ends?This book brings, in simple language, the theory and 25 case studies.

  State of the Union 1988

  The 1988 State of the Union Address delivered January 25, 1988, extols individual rights, the free market, and the value of work, family, and religion, resulting in “the longest peacetime expansion in history”. Reagan stresses unity and common goals, saying there are no Republicans, no Democrats -- just Americans. 
  “We’re for limited government…”, free trade, a balanced budget, and the line-item veto. “[C]ontrol of our schools belongs to the States, local communities and, most of all, to the parents and teachers.” 
   “My friends, some years ago, the Federal Government declared war on poverty, and poverty won.” Our 59 major poverty programs have created a dependency trap that wreaks havoc on the family, the support system most needed to escape poverty. 
  We support a drug-free America, an end to federal funding of abortion, and “believe Congress should pass our school prayer amendment.” 
  “A creative, competitive America is the answer to a changing world, not trade wars that would close doors, create greater barriers, and destroy millions of jobs. … Protectionism is destructionism. America's jobs, America's growth, America's future depend on trade -- trade that is free, open, and fair.” 
  “We must … make adequate, stable defense spending a top goal both this year and in the future.” Our “efforts are to give future generations what we never had -- a future free of nuclear terror. Reduction of strategic offensive arms is one step, SDI another. Our funding request for our Strategic Defense Initiative is less than 2 percent of the total defense budget. SDI funding is money wisely appropriated and money well spent.”  
  We thank God for “this place called America, this shining city on a hill, this government of, by, and for the people. Thank you, and God bless you.”
