"Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Daughter Indicted for Alleged Money Laundering"

"By LEE FERRAN (@leeferran) and BRIAN ROSS (@brianross)

April 11, 2013"

"The daughter of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Obama's controversial former pastor, has been accused of laundering money in an alleged $1.25 million fraud led by an ex-police chief in Illinois.
Jeri L. Wright, 47, was indicted by a federal grand jury Wednesday for allegedly accepting $28,000 from former police chief Regina Evans and her husband, ex-police officer Ronald Evans, for Wright's supposed work related to the Evanses' not-for-profit program called We Are Our Brother's Keeper. Approximately $20,000 of that money, however, found its way back into bank accounts controlled by the Evanses, prosecutors said.
According to a release from the Department of Justice, Wright was playing a part in a scheme by the Evanses to misuse a $1.25 million state grant that had been awarded to the not-for-profit program in 2009.
We Are Our Brother's Keeper was supposed to spend the money on training up to 40 participants in bricklaying and electrical work at a Regal Theater also owned by the Evanses, but the indictment alleges that "little, if any, of the training provided in the grant agreement was ever completed."
The Evanses have been charged with more than 10 fraud-related counts. In addition to the alleged money laundering, Wright stands accused of making false statements to federal law enforcement officers and lying to a grand jury. If convicted, Wright could face potentially decades in prison."

Dear Ones:
     Heaven knows that the world of organized religion regularly 'sees' its share of gross illegalities and immoralities.
     But this article about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's daughter, Jeri L. Wright, got our attention.
     You will recall that Wright is a major proponent of the 'Black Liberation Theology' and its follow-up 'white privilege programs', popular not only in his Chicago church, but here, as well,  in the progressive liberal United Church of Christ And Unitarian Universalist churches in Connecticut and elsewhere.
     The 'theme' of these 'paradigms' is not to 'unite', but to 'demonize and divide'.
     Worse , the ultimate goal is to 'dominate' those who were former oppressors.
     As if.
     As if that is a suitable solution, any more than 'white supremacism' is a suitable solution.
      People need to get real!
      Any movement set upon deliberately shredding and unraveling the racial fabric of the United States has historically been doomed to failure ever since the Civil War.
     Somehow or another, Americans have managed to have the ''triumph of spirit' that allowed for this.
     But I see a 'change' in the air.  I see a country in all kinds of distress.  And I see a complete 'system overload' on 'false dialogues on race'.
     What might have started as reasonable dialogue has, thanks to the deadening overkill of 'political correctness', dissolved into silent resentment, fear, deceit and the bearing of false witness.
     'Race communications' have fallen by the 'wayside' in the looming shadow of threats of terrorism, financial collapse and other 'quality-of-life horrors' so endemic in the United States today.
     Worse, 'race conversations' that remain are being further obfuscated by those injecting 'Islamist' considerations them, in this day and age where everything revolves around 'terrorism'.
     I say Americans need to 'reboot and reengage' on the race issue.  We need to not 'give up' on discussions of race, because we are witnessing a decline in interracial civility, the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time.
     But we have to keep it 'real', as I said.  And the way to do that is to disregard all vestiges of the bogus 'political correctness' that have brought us to where we are today.
     We can and should rationally observe the actions of those who abuse their 'positions of power' on ALL sides of the race debate, learn from them and vow to never 'do the same', ourselves.
     We can 'say we've had enough' and choose to work for 'good', but only if we throw off the mantle of false speech, false pride and false doctrine.  If you can't play this way, this is not for you, of course.
     For all others, especially for those of the Judeo-Christian tradition and for those who do not purely wish to 'dominate others', I suggest this:
     Let us subscribe to 'God Liberation Theology' first.
     It's worth a shot.
God Bless You
With Love In Christ,
Rev. Barbara Sexton

"Please Join Me In Prayer For FCC Stamford Right Now" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

 Rev. Dr. Cari Jackson preaching on gay rights in Cuba.

Dear Ones:
     I hardly ever ask you for a very personal prayer, but I must now.
     Please pray for my church FCC Stamford (The First Congregational Church of Stamford CT).
     This is the 'church that founded Stamford'.
     This is the church that celebrated 'the first Thanksgiving', right here in New England with the Native Americans...both of whom I love so much.
     FCC Stamford was 'gathered' in 1635 and that has to count for something.
     But now it is literally at risk of total collapse.
     This is the church that was 'right and ready' at old 'Fort Stamford' to meet the needs of the people, so many years ago.
     Yet here, today, we are 'at each others' throats' over base things like politics, gay rights, power and money.
     Truly, we are in trouble and I am putting a call out for all 'prayer warriors' everywhere in the world to petition God on behalf of our church so that we do not fail due to human shortcomings.
     Yesterday, our pastor The Rev. Dr. Cari Jackson RESIGNED suddenly and abruptly, without any notice and she left the church in a state of crisis.

LINK: http://www.facebook.com/fccstamford?sk=wall

     Lord God, I humbly ask that you will make things right and help us see our way,
     Myself, I also ask dear Mother Mary to please intervene on my behalf and on the behalf of those who have lost their way at FCC Stamford.  I pray that you will open the minds and the hearts of those who no longer believe in the sanctity of YOU...especially the gay people amongst us who feel so unwanted and unloved.
     Help us all remember that you are the mother of our Risen Lord.
     Help us all remember to cast aside Christian denominational differences, 
     And help us to always remember to  pray FIRST to GOD THE FATHER and to our Brother, your Precious Son JESUS, to the Holy Spirit and also to YOU, dear Lady.
     I thank you Holy Trinity and dear Blessed Mother as your daughter for listening to all this.
In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit-
AMEN
Reverend Barbara Sexton
God Bless You All

"All Sharia All The Time: The Mutual Love Of Gov Dan Malloy & Midhat Syed & Co." By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry' "

WATCH THIS ON YOUTUBE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7JZBeSPCEI&feature=player_embedded#at=19

Dear Ones:
     I certainly have spoken enough in the past about the ever-burgeoning presence of Sharia- compliance in the Nutmeg State of Connecticut.  (See keywords below for a number of articles of interest)
     But the dearth of 'views' of the video above is SHAMEFUL!
     This is something not only every person in STAMFORD, CT should watch....but so should everyone in this COUNTRY!
    Oh, and President Obama, you need to watch this, too.
     I know you and Dan are 'buds', but I do believe he's after your job!
     Clearly, the Muslim population of Stamford and CT think VERY HIGHLY of our new Governor Dannel Malloy!
     Sharia lawyer Midhat H. Syed (Midhat Hassan?) (that's the guy lauding Malloy in the bottom end of the video) formerly (?) of Murtha Cullina LLP, Stamford, CT sure likes Malloy, anyway.
     And that's GOOD....isn't it?
     I, for one,  'wish' that Dan would use his ever-increasing outreach to the Muslim community to address THE GROSS PERPETUATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AND PERPETUALLY INCREASING VIOLENCE of Muslims against Christians and Jews all over the world, especially in Pakistan, Egypt, Libya and Syria.
     It would be nice if Malloy would have a care for the treatment of WOMEN in Syed's Pakistan and other areas of the world where male Islamodominance prevails.
     But for now we are content to just 'get out the word' and  have as many people as possible watch the video above so that they can draw their own conclusions, since in this day and age, we can hardly believe what our leaders tell us anyway.
     Witness the recent killing of Bin Laden, with it's myriad of twists and story-telling, and fabrications and nonsense proffered forth by a W.H. spokesman barely old enough to shave.
     Good luck getting at the the truth anymore, but that's what happens when political callings are at stake in the rough and tumble business known as American politics.
     The truth becomes fungible.
     Freedom and freedom of speech is variable and is no longer a 'right' in America today.
     So take a look at the characters in the video above and consider what this all means regarding the phenomenon known as 'creeping Sharia'.
     It's 'all good', right?

"My Neighbor's Faith- FCC Stamford 'Son' John Thomas Just Another Swaggart, Bakker,Long" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

WATCH THIS ON YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYla5xdPTUg 
ABOVE: Rev. John Thomas defending Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Rev. Otis Moss
Dear Ones:
     There is a sorry story unfolding 'behind the scenes and under the wire' involving John Thomas, past President of the UCC, the United Church of Christ.
     You can get all the sordid details you like here:
"United Church of Christ suspends ministry of former national president"
LINK: http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2011/01/post_427.html  
     Thomas is a 'son' of the First Congregational Church of Stamford (FCC Stamford)....One of it's 'shining star's' in the world of Progressive liberal clergy, and an influential one at that up until very recently.
     Some 'background' on his growing scandal:

Why John Thomas Matters...as if thinking Christians, anti-Christians, atheists and agnostics can't figure it out for themselves:

     John's mother Margaret Thomas was a beloved life-long member of FCC Stamford (also known as 'The First Congregational Church of Stamford') long-remembered for her stalwart faithfulness to our church and it's members, as well as for her 'forward-looking' personal theology embraced by the UCC-at-large.

http://www.reformationucc.org/

Rev. Lydia Velika-'the other woman and frequent flyer with Rev. John Thomas'...on whose buck?

    
     Margaret was ever-proud of the influence her son John had for decades on not only our local church, but internationally, as well...heady influence, indeed.
     This is not to say that all of us at FCC Stamford agreed with her and her son's convictions, for we did not.  Nevertheless, we kept tithing in good and with good faith.
     A handful of us would have no part of violation of our second amendment (gun) rights, Black Liberation Theology, politicking in the Sanctuary during Worship Services, blanket right to abortion at all stages, including late-term abortion, comprehensive 'blessing' and 'performance' of same-sex marriages in church Sanctuaries, and--a real sticking point for me: the severe anti-Israel, anti-Semitic sentiment of John Thomas and the UCC-at-large.

LINK: Barack Obama and the UCC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Church_of_Christ
     The few of us balked and still do at various UCC 'resolutions' and 'statements' and refused to 'sign onto' a number of them.  But none of that matters anymore, for the precepts above are now fully ingrained into the UCC and FCC in Connecticut and the rest of the country.  
     What does matter, though, is the IMPACT the Thomas church and theology currently has on the citizens here in Southwestern CT and specifically in Stamford!
     Today's FCC Stamford's 'relatively new' pastor Rev. Cari Jackson feeds the flames of the Progressive Lib church culture in the church that John Thomas hails from. 
     Jackson furthers what Thomas planted and fomented over the decades of his life here in Southwestern Connecticut.    
     And this same church has increasing involvement with The Interfaith Council of Southwestern Connecticut and The Rev. Kate Heichler, Rabbi Josh Hammerman and others who 'speak for and represent' the 'faith community'.

     Now the 'John Thomas tradition' permeates Stamford's Mayor Pavia's new 'Multicultural Council', as well, which I find to be 'kind of strange' for a so-called 'Republican', Pavia:

LINK:
http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/default/article/Stamford-panel-to-discuss-religious-relations-1031478.php#ixzz1FBQbKPpU
     As a TEA PARTY PATRIOT in Progressive Lib Connecticut, I wonder if anyone is looking out for TAXPAYER MONEY with Mayor Pavia's newly-established 'Multicultural Council'?
     Have all the 'religious parties involved' with this new council been properly 'vetted'?
     I've written before about my concern's for pro-Muslim sentiment generated in Southwestern Connecticut. 
     And with this piece, I am taking us all 'out of our comfort zones' to address a very real example of the foolishness of mixing 'politics and religion'.
     It will be interesting to see if the 'John Thomas Scandal' so in the tradition of Swaggart, Bakker, Long and company ultimately impels the probably well-intentioned-though-perpetually-misguided Interfaith Council of SW CT to 'straighten up and fly right'.
     Money talks when all good persuasions cannot.  It is not the root of all evil, but the love of money most certainly is.
     Let that 'love' be looked into on behalf of TAXPAYERS all over the United States, especially when it comes to 'religious types' preaching 'politics from the pulpit'.
     It's the right thing to do and will lessen the possibility that good people will be taken advantage of by those like John Thomas and the ones over whom his vast influence extends.
     Not even Thomas's blog makes mention of his years-long shenanigans and recent downfall:
LINK: http://www.ctschicago.edu/index.php/mnusocialmedia/john-thomas-blog/312-the-bipartisanship-we-dont-need
     Therefore, I urge all people of good faith to steward themselves, lest they try to proffer forth anything that will mislead the easily-mislead public.

LINK: http://interfaithcouncil.net/Documents/Flyer-MyNeighborsFaith-2.pdf
      "For shame", to those who do otherwise.
     When John Thomas got arrested in October 2007 for attempting to storm the White House with a stack of sexual-libertine doctrine, "Thomas reminded the crowd of martyred theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who said, "The church has been a silent partner in evil deeds...We are breaking that silence today".
     All I have to say is 'he-Thomas-would know'...and yes I am.
     I thank God that Margaret was 'spared witness' of the downfall of her son, but truly he has fooled us all.
May God Bless Us & Show Us His Mercy
