Bye to 2011 and Hello to 2012!










Whoo! I was looking back the whole year of 2011. I am realizing that I did a lot in a short time. I have missed a few opportunities and I am trying to bring them to front burner, but it takes time. Just in few days, 2011 will be disappearing into the mists of time. Where did the time go?

My grandfather, Kenneth Howe usually keeps a diary. He titled "How(e) Time Flies!"

He would show it to me what he was doing daily while in Gamaliel, Arkansas. Facebook is similiar to what he did. We keep notes and share news and information. It is interesting.

I loved reading his journals everytime I go down there to Lake Norfolk. I miss it very much, but I am disappointed as they took out ferries and put in bridge on Highway 101.

Will plan to visit that area the Spring of 2012 before the summer crowd takes over the lake. I used to spend summers with my grandfather fishing at the lake. I cherish every moment with him. He tried his best to talk to me, but it was difficult to read his lips so I had no patience. I am kind of wishing I did learn to be more patient, but after 20 minutes or more, I am outta here. This is why he wrote journals to help himself remember and me to read. Even tho brief notes, it spoke volumes.

Now back to year in review of 2011 -- I need to prepare some plans for 2012. Yes, I will continue teaching ITP program and I need to benefit more by going to workshops or training to enable me to help ITP students.

I try few sources, but the schedule is not there and I hope there is something that can help me prosper as ASL Professor. I need workshop on linguistics as well as other pertinent curriculum for a 4 year program. June 30, 2012 is supposedly the deadline for requirements to be implemented for a 4 year program for interpreters. This is a new challenge to learn and go along!

and also I want to see more opportunities for CDI (certified Deaf interpreters)...yes, I mean deaf people in interpreting profession. It has been considered for more than 50 years, yet the oppression continues in that area from some hearing interpreters.

Good news is that those audistic interpreters are being reduced, but still the system needs to be overhauled somewhat!!! I frankly am not satisfied with those organizations, but no offense to them - I am outsider and it is easy for me to notice some areas that need strengthening. I do rely on sign language interpreters for legal, medical and personal needs.

Being a consumer of interpreting services, I am sharing my experiences and my dedication to raise the bar with the interpreting programs that can churn out professional interpreters.

Sign Language Interpreters are the gatekeepers of communication, therefore it is our dedication to see that the system be compatible and satisfactory for the deaf community at large.

As I said more than a few times, that we need laws with more teeth to keep those interpreters on respectable level and be respectful to our communication needs. This is how and why we need political process to protect our proud Deaf culture. So be it and onward we go!

Quincy University goes silent for Deaf Awareness Day



Quincy University goes silent for Deaf Awareness Day


or copy on url: http://www.wgem.com/story/16069286/2011/11/17/quincy-university-goes-silent-for-deaf-awareness-day



QUINCY, IL (WGEM) -- Imagine a world without sound and not being able to communicate with a vast majority of the people around you.

That's the reality for millions of people who suffer from hearing loss.

Quincy University held a Deaf Awareness Day on campus Friday and did something to get people's attention; they made a statement without saying a word. Students and staff went the whole day communicating only by sign language, to show how difficult it can be.

"We want to make sure everyone knows about deaf culture, about sign language. Trying to develop more awareness so that people know how hard it is for deaf people to communicate and more hearing people need to know," signed Paul Kiel, American Sign Language Teacher at Quincy University.

Students and staff wore blue ribbons today to bring attention to the discrimination against the deaf.

My mom and her breast cancer








Jane Howe Kiel (mother) and Paul Kiel (son) - Thanksgiving 1972 ( not realizing it was her last picture. )




At around 4 a.m. the morning of October 25, 1973, my maternal grandmother woke me up to inform me that my mother had passed around 12:30 a.m. October 25, 1973.

I was trying to get awake from lack of sleep the past 2 weeks since I got home from Gallaudet College. I was at her bedside days and nights. I was hoping for miracle, but my family doctor said that there was no hope. It was advanced cancer as a result of a breast cancer.

Trying to snap out of sleep, I told my grandmother, Ruth and my younger brother, Robert to hurry up and get in the car. Once everyone was in the car, I put the car in reverse and pulled out of the driveway. I made a beeline for the hospital.

I rushed into the hospital and jumped into the elevator going up to the 5th floor... (more in my book, To Be Deaf or Not To Be Deaf...)

**October 25, 2011 - now 38 years later - I am pleased with today's results of women group fighting for breast cancer awareness. Back in 1973 - it was not a reality and it was a "hush" "hush" -- something like in dark ages. The family doctor was male and his attitude sucked.

Everytime I observe the breast cancer awareness program (25 years) and Susan G Komen Race for the Cure (28 years), it reminds me how difficult and emotional life was with my mother.

Yes, it was very difficult watching her die of cancer. it all started back in October of 1970. We were excited about planning a trip to Houston, Texas to see family for Thanksgiving.

I got home from high school football game and was heading to my room. My mother was taking bath and she used her hand to hit the bathtub to make noises to get my attention.

"Jay", Jane yelled, " get over here please!".

I turned around and asked her what was wrong and I saw her look on her face. She asked me to feel that lump on her breast and she knew I recently took Health course at school where we recently discussed the very same subject. Feeling for lumps on body...she asked me to do it and I felt it. Yes, there was a lump.

The next 3 years was hell! (more in the book)...

My mother was special and my best friend. I miss her!

Mom, thank you for being with me with the time we had!

Love,
Paul..

BEHIND ENEMY LINES: AUDISM










I agree with Candy.

Miss Kat and parents are making mountain out of molehill.

I am the culprit in her story about leading a deaf group.

I speak the truth from my heart in deaf activism and advocacy.

So to turn the tables, some hearing people (audists) are the enemy.

I did offer to meet Miss Kat and her parents to share the notes.

I am looking forward to meeting such a brilliant lady.

Cheers,

Paul

Dummy Hoy was on St. Louis Browns baseball team in 1891!










While watching Cards, it is worthwhile remembering a great Deaf hero in baseball....Dummy Hoy played for St. Louis Browns here in 1891. I am proposing to local deaf club to have a wall mural about him to remember his history and his contribution of the signals that umpires and players use nowadays! He is a hero in my heart! See his uniform with St. Louis Browns.

Audists/Cronies of Bell: PLEASE MOVE OVER! GO AWAY!










September 24, 2011

(in honor of Deaf Awareness Week - WFD)

Jean Moog, Moog Deaf Education Center, St. Louis Mo.
Robin Feder, Central Institute for the Deaf, St. Louis, Mo.
To whom it may concern, St. Joseph Institute for the Deaf, St. Louis, Mo
Special School District of St. Louis

and many oral programs around the world including USA (from sea to shining sea)

Re: To Be Deaf or Not To Be Deaf

After more than forty years, the answer has fallen on my lap in the search for truth in deaf education.

I am pleased that Audism Free America had prepared this important information package that is long overdue.

Please review this link:
http://audismfreeamerica.blogspot.com/2011/09/afas-dos-and-donts-for-parents-of-deaf.html

I am asking you who are running oral programs in St. Louis to please modify the program to fit in with the AFA's Do's and Don'ts for Parents of Deaf Children.

This will be included in present and future EHDI activities.

It is time to stop hogging the deaf community to meet your selfish wishes and goals that only benefit you and your cronies.

I am slamming my foot down and ready to draw the line between you audists and my deaf community.

It is time to modify the deaf education programs at your respective schools as well as many other manipulated deaf education programs under your selfish management.

It is time to end years of lies and misinformation.

I dare you to clean up your acts now or get out of the picture of our deaf community. You do not fit in our picture and it is time for you to pack up and leave.

I am pointing my finger to the EXIT door and I am asking you to cease and desist your manipulation of our Deaf education.

Flashback: Audism at Work 1997











Flashback: Audism at Work 1997

This is the note that I wrote to my supervisor, Chris Brown at a bank where I was employed. I worked in the Operations Center and we were handling the business accounts of the bank customers. It was my third year with them. I saw an announcement posted on the bulletin board. They announced a staff meeting for all employees. I was considered to be part of the department. I simply wrote a note to remind my supervisor. I tried to get his attention, but he was busy running back and forth from his desk to the department divisions. I was furious as I thought he was being rude.

I wrote the note:

December 21, 1997
Sunday

Chris Brown -

I noticed that there is a staff meeting scheduled at 9 a.m. tomorrow as per the announcement on the bulletin board. I wonder if you had arranged a sign language interpreter for that purpose.

Thank you,

Paul J. Kiel

I gave it to Mr. Brown. He put it in his shirt pocket. I left for the day.

======

The next morning, December 22, 1997 Monday

I found note at my desk station.

He replied,

"Paul, I am sorry I was not able to set this up_ I did not work Sunday night. I hope you got the information you needed., Chris"

I looked at the note and was puzzled. He was actually there yesterday and yet he said he did not work Sunday night. I caught him in a lie. I got upset and demanded to see Nicole, the manager.

More information is in the book, To Be Deaf or Not To Be Deaf.

Vultures Meeting At AGBAD










It depicts their behavior lately!


AGBAD: a group of vultures








I view AGBAD and others as a group of vultures circling above the deaf community...



Crybaby Award 2011 goes to....










What is a crybaby? It is a person given to frequent crying or complaint.

This Crybaby Award 2011 goes to those people and groups who whined about the incident at the Volta Bureau recently.

They seem not to understand the abuses by those people since 1880.

It is time to pull up our socks!




Call those deafies who practice oppression on deaf, "Uncle Al"?

After reading some blogs of how those stuck up deafies whined about other deafies, I think it is time to term them with a new name. If those peeps want to throw barbs and zings our way, they are considered, "Uncle Al"

A new derogatory term for those who practice audism against deaf friends or a deaf person who sucks up to hearing people and let them manipulate him or her. I am using Al from Alexander Graham Bell. So be it!

This comes from Uncle Tom idea -

Uncle Tom is a derogatory term for a person of a low status group who is overly subservient with authority, or a black person who behaves in a subservient manner to white people.[1][2]

ASHA + AGBAD = FRAUD!










Now with recent discovery of Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA) filing federal lawsuit against American Speech Hearing Association (ASHA), it is obvious how AGBAD and ASHA continue to abuse deaf community with their DISHONEST practices!!!

See this link: http://www.audiologist.org/_resources/documents/legal/Complaint%20w%20exh%208-2-11.pdf

another link: http://audiology.advanceweb.com/News/News-Watch/ADA-Files-Federal-Lawsuit-Against-ASHA-Alleging-Fraudulent-Activities.aspx

With recent dishonest activity by AGBAD to term all teachers as hearing specialists, it knocks them together as partners in crime as well as they sleep in same bed with cochlear implant companies.

They have been abusing us since 1880! It is important that we fight back and put them OUT OF BUSINESS!

IT IS TIME TO DECLARE WAR ON THEM!

DOD is soliciting contracts to wipe out the deaf community?










Is the Department of Defense taking out the contract on the Deaf community just like a mafia contract?

Is it a repeat of Logan's Run under the guise?

If you can remember 1976 science fiction film, "Logan's Run" it "depicts a dystopian future society in which population and the consumption of resources are managed and maintained in equilibrium by the simple expediency of killing everyone who reaches the age of thirty, preventing overpopulation." from Wikepedia, the free encyclopedia.

Please review this link as Department of Defense has awarded or seeking business with cochlear implant companies. It reeks of suspicious behavior of investors and greedy people who have their own agenda. They are invading deaf communities by leaps and pounds all over the world.

https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=0ae5917f0f5b9ec10c081f3a73c7bb1a&tab=core&_cview=0

It is getting to the point of abuses and profiteering.

Please look again at what Department of Defense is doing....

This paragraph is eerie and it shows how greedy people are:

"The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Denver Acquisition & Logistic Center (DALC), in support of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and the Department of Defense (DoD), has requirements for Cochlear Implants and associated items that are expected to be satisfied with Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery contracts awarded to two or more qualified manufacturers. The contracts are anticipated to cover national requirements for a base year and four one-year option periods."

Review where they are leaving numbers open to get large quantity of cochlear implants. See two strong indicators of abuse - "indefinite quantity/indefinite delivery contracts to two or more qualified manufacturers." This may help profit the pockets of investors for the next five years.

Who is profiteering from this abuse?

I could understand it if it is for aging veterans, but why have it at infinity number? It reeks of abuse and profiteering.

Then the hospitals will be purchasing them for babies and unwilling people.

What is going on?

Where is Paul Revere when we need him? He could alert the community that the Cochlear Implant companies are invading our privacy and lives.

Are we going to look the other way and kiss our Deaf culture gone?

Shame on Department of Defense and Cochlear Implant companies for sleeping in the same bed! They are whoring with each other!

"Hearing Specialist" card is a straw that broke the camel's back!

August 5, 2011

Alexander Graham, CEO, AGBAD
Susan Boswell, Director of Communications and Marketing, AGBAD

With recent bad membership campaign, it is a straw that broke the camel's back.

Having studied the influences of AGBAD for more than 40 years, I am finding that AGBAD employ same tactics that Taliban, Nazi, KKK and evil groups use to gain dominance in the deaf community and belittling those who are against them. You use the tactics to propagate your lies. You took advantage of many families who are hurting from your evil actions.

Your organization is not telling the truth and you are continuing the lies that Alexander Graham Bell started in the 19th century.

I was raised in oral communication program and I find it not acceptable and hurting the deaf community.

I was ex-member of ODAS (Oral Deaf Adult Section of AGBAD) and I find it uncomfortable and disrespectful.

I saw what you have done for more than 40 years including the tactics you have employed since September 11, 1880 and I am labeling you as one of the terrorist organizations.

Let me remind you once more what Alexander Graham Bell did in his evil ways and you are the party to his evil deeds.


The Infamous Milan Conference and its Eight (8) Evil Resolutions:

============================================

1. The Convention, considering the incontestable superiority of articulation over signs in restoring the deaf-mute to society and giving him a fuller knowledge of language, declares that the oral method should be preferred to that of signs in education and the instruction of deaf-mutes.

Passed 160 to 4

** This motion enabled your group to terrorize deaf programs and schools starting on September 11, 1880.

============================================


2. The Convention, considering that the simultaneous use of articulation and signs has the disadvantage of injuring articulation and lip-reading and the precision of ideas, declares that the pure oral method should be preferred.

Passed 150 to 16

**This motion enabled your organization to propogate lies of oralism. The history has proven that there are many deaf people suffering mental health problems due to your selfish actions. The Babbage Report of 1965 and The Deaf Education Act of 1988 have indicated that the oral programs have failed.

============================================


3. Considering that a great number of the deaf and dumb are not receiving the benefit of instruction, and that this condition is owing to the impotence of families and of institutions, recommends that governments should take the necessary steps that all the deaf and dumb may be educated.

Passed unanimously.

**It is your lame excuse to divide and conquer the deaf community. You were responsible for firing many deaf teachers and used illegal tactics to reduce the number of deaf staff at each program right after the infamous Milan Conference of 1880. You are lining the pockets of politicians and bureaucrats just exactly like Alexander Graham Bell did when he went to the Patent Office to bribe his way to fame. He stole the inventions of other people to gain his evil control of the deaf community. You are sleeping in same bed with cochlear implant industry who are busy whoring with you with millions of dollars to buy your influence.

============================================

4. Considering that the teaching of the speaking deaf by the Pure Oral method should resemble as much as possible that of those who hear and speak, declares

a) That the most natural and effectual means by which the speaking deaf may acquire the knowledge of language is the "intuitive" method, viz., that which consists in setting forth, first by speech, and then by writing the objects and the facts which are placed before the eyes of the pupils.

b) That in the first, or maternal, period the deaf-mute ought to be led to the observation of grammatical forms by means of examples and of practical exercises, and that in the second period he ought to be assisted to deduce from these examples the grammatical rules, expressed with the utmost simplicity and clearness.

c) That books, written with words and in forms of language known to the pupil, can be put into his hands at any time.

Motion carried.

**This motion is a "Trojan horse", a destructive program that you are using to cover your stealth ways to dominate the deaf education. It is known as "the mask of benevolence." There is a book with same title written by Harlan Lane who detailed how audism is affecting the deaf community and how AGBAD is doing it.

============================================

5. Considering the want of books sufficiently elementary to help the gradual and progressive development of language, recommends that the teachers of the Oral system should apply themselves to the publication of special works on the subject.

Motion carried.

**This is how and what you are doing to dumbing down the deaf community and forcing them to stay at very low level and develop poor literacy.

============================================

6. Considering the results obtained by the numerous inquiries made concerning the deaf and dumb of every age and every condition long after they had quit school, who, when interrogated upon various subjects, have answered correctly, with sufficient clearness of articulation, and read the lips of their questioners with the greatest facility, declares

a) That the deaf and dumb taught by the Pure Oral method do not forget after leaving school the knowledge which they have acquired there, but develop it still further by conversation and reading, when have been made so easy for them.

b) That in their conversation with speaking persons they make use exclusively of speech.

c) That speech and lip-reading so far from being lost, are developed by practice.

Motion carried.

** There were several studies available that favored deaf students to use ASL. Bell chose to oppress the information and dominated his way around. He used his influence and finances to bribe people. Two federal studies (1965 and 1988) have proven otherwise. In a local oral program, 98% of graduates/left school are using ASL.

============================================

7. Considering that the education of the deaf and dumb by speech has peculiar requirements; considering also that the experienced of teachers of deaf-mutes is almost unanimous, declares

a) That the most favourable age for admitting a deaf child into school is from eight to ten years.

b) That the school term ought to be seven years at least; but eight years would be preferable.

c) That no teacher can effectually teach a class of more than ten children on the Pure Oral method.

Motion carried.

** This is how and why you fired deaf teachers to gain dominance over deaf education. Your actions have dumbed down the deaf consumers for over 131 years.

============================================

8. Considering that the application of the Pure Oral method in institutions where it is not yet in active operation, should be to avoid the certainty of failure prudent, gradual, progressive, recommends

a) That the pupils newly received into the schools should form a class by themselves, where instruction could be given by speech.

b) That these pupils should be absolutely separated from others too far advanced to be instructed by speech, and whose education will be completed by signs.

c) That each year a new speaking class be established, until all the old pupils taught by signs have completed their education.

Motion carried.

** This is a pure example of your dominance of deaf education. You have undermined and handicapped the deaf community. It is a practice of audism.

============================================

This shows how greedy and selfish hearing people were and still are to this day! This is why oralism is a false facade.
Those audists have undone what Laurent Clerc, Thomas H. Gallaudet, Alice Cogswell and others have put together.

Having pure oralism philosophy is NOT helping thousands of deaf children globally.

Oral deaf people have higher mental health problems than the deaf who have accepted American Sign Language.

Why do we have to struggle to get as much as 30% on lipreading and it takes 70% of guesswork to complete the communicaton process?

Your organization as well as other audistic groups are employing tactics to dominate, restructure and exercise authority over the deaf.

Shame on you!


Sincerely in disgust,

Paul J Kiel
a tireless Deaf Adovocate

"A day when deaf people and their language are completely accepted -- no, more than that, truly welcomed -- as a part of the family of man, in which god created diversity not to oppress the minority who are different, but to enrich the lives of all."

The Audists are coming for you...











Remember this poem by Pastor Martin Niemller. Adolf HItler had him spent 7 years in concentraton camps after speaking out.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for the sick,
the so-called incurables, I didn't speak up,
because I wasn’t mentally ill.


When they came for the Catholics, I didn't
speak up because I was a Protestant.

When they came for me,
there was no-one left to speak out.

This can be you as the audists are coming for you!

Audism spreads while good Deaf people do nothing!

"Audism spreads while good Deaf people do nothing!"






Suffice to say, this video is a powerful one. We need to combat audism now! Copy this url and paste in your browser.

(_http://www.bslbt.co.uk/zoom/films/zoom_focus_2011/the_end/_)

It is good video. It is already happening globally. It is those who act like ostriches and kept sticking their heads in the ground. I have rattled my saber for years and years warning that the tide of audism was approaching in our communities from sea to shining sea including the global communities.

We need to pull up our sleeves and work harder to combat audism.

It means taking extreme measures and enact tougher laws and policies to add more teeth to protect our proud culture.

It also means kicking ass with your deaf friends who keep waffling and who have "do nothing" attitude.

I have said this quote before and I will repeat - "Audism spreads while good Deaf people do nothing!"

Attending oral school reunion is like attending butcher's birthday party!










Glad you had good time the past weekend at oral school reunion - There is something that you all need to take to your hearts and think it over - the more you go in that direction - you are hurting the deaf community. You use sign language, yet you go to the place where it is oppressed in classrooms as well as its philosophy. It is double standard. This is why I have boycotted oral school reunions since 1981. I asked some members to make motion to have 51% deaf on board, hire Deaf teachers to be role models to deaf students, incorporate the use of ASL in classrooms and reduce audism at the school.

It is ironic how the members suckered up to the hearing people at oral school and how they swept the suggested motions under the rug. This is how and why I gave them the OSTRICH Award. They continue to stick their heads in ground while deaf issues fly over.

I am telling you that it is like sending sick children to a butcher's birthday party. I have to do this kind of analogy to show comparison of how hearing people are treating deaf children in that capacity. It is like Mask of Benevolence....the cochlear implant companies are greedy and raking in millions of dollars. They are abusing the system already.

The more the hearing people in oral programs use you, the more the public views them as higher authority on deaf culture. They are using you for propaganda to further their goals as part of their pathological quest for recognition in medical field

Lastly, I made the move to demand that the oral school remove my great great uncle, Henry W. Kiel, (Mayor of St. Louis - 1913-1925) from any publications or any comments in their websites or pamphlets or any PR stuff. I did not want my ancestor to be part of that oral school program like I have refused to acknowledge anymore that part. I know I cannot change history, but the bottom line is they cannot use it anymore.

So it is important that the members stand up and request those changes. We have been guinea pigs long enough and it is time to sign "Enough is enough!"

Look at many changes around the country and the world in reducing audism. You need to take the lead and go in the right direction!

Good luck!

A true story of audism from Aristotle time to now. Why are we letting audism happening? Is it time for social change?

AG BELL IS STILL A PUBLIC ENEMY #1










AG Bell is considered a public enemy #1 in the eyes of the deaf communities worldwide!


‎"On April 8th, 1886, Patent Examiner Zenas Fisk Wilber in a sworn affidavit admits receiving $100 from Bell for showing him the original drawing of the telephone transmitter in Gray's caveat." ((From Telephone Gambit)) -

that was how AG Bell stole the invention and stole our deaf lives! He can burn in hell for eternity! The most conniving and snake oil salesman of 19th century!

Bell fooking bribed for $100.00 and Bell amassed fortune based on lies!

He then lied about oralism and AG Bell Association/Volta Review... Everything is a BIG LIE!

In 1884, Bell published a paper “Upon the Formation of a Deaf Variety of the Human Race,” in which he warned of a “great calamity” facing the nation: deaf people were forming clubs, socializing with one another and, consequently, marrying other deaf people. The creation of a “deaf race” that yearly would grow larger and more insular was underway. Bell noted that “a special language adapted for the use of such a race” already was in existence, “a language as different from English as French or German or Russian.” Some eugenicists called for legislation outlawing intermarriage by deaf people, but Bell rejected such a ban as impractical. Instead he proposed the following steps: “(1) Determine the causes that promote intermarriages among the deaf and dumb; and (2) remove them. The causes he sought to remove were sign language, deaf teachers, and residential schools. His solution was the creation of special day schools taught by hearing teachers who would enforce a ban on sign language. ((Through Deaf Eyes))

More lies coming from Bell - it is time to rectify the wrongs!

Suffice to say, he was stupid man who feared.. His own mommy and wife were deaf, too. What the fook!

He established barbaric methods to force millions and millions worldwide of poor deaf children through his evil empire a.k.a. oralism.








Shame on AG BELL!

$100.00 in 1886 could amount to $10,000.00 today... it is probable...the truth prevails!

In Memory of Alan Champion...










There was discussion about having interpreter flag...so I thought it be a perfect time to have interpreter flag made...and go to half-staff in memory of our wonderful interpreters. Of course, it will go up and down eventually.

Help 2 Deaf Audition for The Biggest Loser!! We need your votes!


A word from Paul Kiel, the contributor to SHOW ME DEAF COMMUNITY







Be sure to watch The Deaf Wire soon!










A message from Anne Geary, Deaf Specialist at Paraquad, Inc (St. Louis, Mo) - a good and powerful statement to encourage us all to help these two people get chance to be on that show, "The Biggest Loser"



Hello everyone,



Do you recall the times when there was a deaf person on reality show such as Survivor, The Amazing Race, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Super Nanny, and few other television shows that we all huddled and glued our eyes on television? Don’t you love when you see a deaf person on television and feel the pride being Deaf?



Do you want to see a couple of deaf people on The Biggest Loser?
If yes, then please click on this site and pass the word about this site:



http://youtu.be/fc0OTfF59pw



Kevin Meyer is one of Deaf Way’s Independent Contractor and Michelle Weider is one of DEAF Inc’s Program Specialists. Kevin and Michelle are auditioning for the couple spots in The Biggest Loser.



There are ways to get The Biggest Loser to notice those two deaf candidates:


1. Visit their video on YouTube to increase the number of viewers (The current number is under one thousand viewers, we need to get them over ten thousand viewers)


2. Spread the word about their video on YouTube and encourage other deaf people to support them (Each time you play it doesn’t increase the number, you need to play it at different IP address, that’s why I encourage you to send the link to other deaf people)


3. Post it as a page on Facebook


4. Tweet about it on Twitter


5. Write an article about them in local newspaper


6. Contact Channel 2, 4, and 5 about them auditioning for The Biggest Loser


7. Get more support everywhere, not just in the state of Missouri…go nationwide and international



We need your support to get them on “The Biggest Loser” television show! We need your help in marketing Kevin and Michelle as perfect candidates for The Biggest Loser!

Survivor: Amazon (2003)—Christy Smith

2012 is time to tell EHDI to pull up their socks!










This idiom means "If you aren't satisfied with someone and want them to do better, you can tell them to pull up their socks."

I am not satisfied yet with EHDI (Early Hearing Detection and Intervention) programs and I would like to help them to do better so it means telling them to pull up their socks! I noticed throughout the country that their information seems biased and not detailing enough about American Sign Language and our proud Deaf culture. More needs to be done!

See you on March 5 and 6 2012!

NO SUCCESS WITH A COCHLEAR IMPLANT...










NO SUCCESS WITH A COCHLEAR IMPLANT...

It is part of brainwashing system that manipulates the patients into believing what doctors say.

The audists have developed a system of brainwashing oralists as well as those with cochlear implants.

They assault on identity, manipulate on guilt, make them feel self-betrayal, push them to breaking points, they offer no leniency and they are selfish.

With recent wave of illegal kickbacks and corporations in trouble for variety of reasons, it shows how greedy the people at the top are.

They are unable to cure deafness.

They continue to spread lies and manipulate uninformed patients and families.

They are more concerned about their financial portfolios than the well being of the patients.

It is time to reset the system and let the deaf community dictate the lives together without audism. It is time to stop fixing something that is not broken. This is why audists love to divide and conquer the deaf community.

Then there is no success with a cochlear implant. It is just like the old western where the snake oil was sold. Watch out for audists! They are out to try to pull the wool over your eyes. Get over it! Cochlear implants are merely expensive amplifiers.

A fool and his money are soon parted...

Note for CID, St. Joseph's, Moog and SSD!










Note for Central Institute for the Deaf, St. Joseph Institute for the Deaf, Moog Center for Deaf Education and Special School District -- Here is the video as it is truth and a proof that it works. Please adapt your programs to follow this workable solution for deaf education. You need to amend your evil ways and means to help more Deaf children be happy adults.

Your programs are the result of many suffering mental health. Two federal studies have proven your programs flunked twice! You need to stop your lies and dishonesty! Hire deaf teachers and implement ASL into daily program at schools. The lives of deaf children are precious. You have done nothing, but harm poor deaf children.
