Missouri DMH is inducted in Deaf Hall of Shame!










Since the Deaf Community filed lawsuit against Missouri Department of Mental Health some months ago, DMH has turned deafer, dumber and stupider than before! They have done NOTHING to this date. Here is an incident that makes them open for more lawsuits.

During a recent e-mail discussion, I got this reply from DMH Office -


"I am unavailable to reply to emails at this time. The Office of Deaf and
MutilCultural Mental Health Services do not provide individual assistance to
access to mental health services.

If there is a life threatening emergency, call 911.

"If you are seeking mental health services, please consult the following links
for help with locating and contacting providers of DMH psychiatric or substance
abuse treatment or services for people with developmental disabilities:


For mental health or psychiatric crisis or to request services, individuals
can use TTY, video relay or voice to call the ACI CRISIS LINE for your local
area: http://dmh.mo.gov/cps/ACImap.htm

For individuals who require treatment for alcohol or drug use, you can
review a directory of providers with contact information
at http://dmh.mo.gov/ada/TreatmentPreventionProviderDirectory5-10.pdf

For persons with a developmental disability. please contact the appropriate
DD Regional Office as identified on the map at http://dmh.mo.gov/mrdd/"

I checked out all links they provided.

230 offices around Missouri for hearing people! Wowee! That's a lot!

no tty or vp listings at all

all are fax and voice numbers -

It shows how callous they are towards the Deaf Community.

Now it is time to induct Missouri Department of Mental Health into the Deaf
Hall of Shame!

Shame on DMH!


My trip to KY DeaFestival 2010 at Horse Cave, KY










I took a trip to Louisville to spend the weekend there. I took a trip down to Horse Cave, KY to attend the DeaFestival event. It was fun seeing old friends and making new friends. I got to see more entertainers there. Nice selection of events and programs to watch. Pinky was there. Peter Cook was there. Roger Vass was there. CJ was there. Robert DeMayo was there. and many more.

Then I went back to Louisville for the evening. I enjoyed the trip and stopped off to explore French Lick in Indiana. A friend was showing me the architecture of the old hotel. I was fascinated by its odd design and the layout. It made me want to write a mytery novel about that place. Should I? *grinning*

A Friendly reminder - Louisville, KY is the site of NAD Conference in 2012 as well as DeaFestival 2012. I am eager to go there and I want to reserve a hotel now! Can't wait to visit the bluegrass country again!

Please read George Veditz's lips!





View externally







All the debate about using voice, please read George Veditz's lips throughout the less than 15 minutes of his presentation.

This is PURE ASL!

ASL in its divine right is the language we cherish!



Thanks to Gallaudet University Archives for the use of the video.

Please take your (spoken) voice elsewhere!










So it happens? ASL Advocates are right...The Gallaudet Campus is a sacred ground for American Sign Language since its founding It has no place for audism, oralism and anything pertaining to false facades of oralism.

With the recent debate on using voice to communicate with the deaf community, it can be joke one way or another. I remembered speaking to deaf audience without signing and using my voice. It did not work out as my voice may not be perfect. Interpreters may have misinterpreted... I never hear my own voice so who cares. Whether it be good or bad, I do not mind. If my hearing peers can understand me, that is great. If they were not sure, they should have spoken up sooner. They should not have let the issue remain unsolved. Communication is a two way street!

So back to Gallaudet Campus, it is a sacred ground since the 1860's...many deaf leaders have passed through the halls of Gallaudet including Laurent Clerc, George Veditz, Robert MacGregor and many others. It would be very considerate if anyone on the campus would choose to use sign language first.

Staring at the picture above with Reverend Thomas H. Gallaudet and Alice Cogswell, this is a proof of the beginning of American Sign Language and how he went to bring Laurent Clerc to the new world in 1816.

So I tell anyone who wants to use voice to stop jowling and use sign language please! Let the interpreters be your voice and accept the dignity of the deaf culture to use American Sign Language when communicating to the Deaf community.

and also more credits to Sophia Fowler Gallaudet - the wife of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and mother of Edward Miner Gallaudet. More information about Sophia can be seen at http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Sophia_Fowler_Gallaudet

So considerably please take your (spoken) voice elsewhere!

Questioning hearing people's integrity and professionalism in deaf programs....








Remembering Marcella's stand against odds in improving deaf services, this picture was when she helped a St. Louis organization start advocacy too.






After doing some research with some agencies serving the Deaf around the country, I came to realize that there are often more hearing people in agencies and programs serving the deaf and hard of hearing community.

I am avid fan of the late Marcella Meyer who ran GLAD in the golden days. I looked up to her and I love her witty comments and how she thought what Deaf can do.

She taught me important lessons about having the right to exist and work with hearing people. She hailed from Kansas City, Missouri and came to California to establish the programs that exist today. She taught the deaf community to empower themselves.

If you have not been to GLAD, you have missed something of an opportunity. There are other good organizations too.

What I am focused on is deaf advocacy.

Now I am questioning hearing people's integrity and professionalism in deaf programs......

I am noticing how the hearing people have higher comfort zone than the deaf people in some parts of the country.

Why are some deaf agencies run by hearing people?

To name a few, they are out there right under your nose.

Why do you allow hearing people to run deaf programs?

Are they being honest?

What is their integrity?

According to dictionary, adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character, honesty......

Come to think about the past 130 years of audism?

Were those hearing people running deaf programs being honest?

Maybe for their skills?

Maybe for their selfishness?

Who knows?

The truth will prevail in this matter.

This is just something to think about and hopefully the employment among the Deaf will fare better.

The hearing people have plenty of jobs outside the deaf community and we are still wanting more interpreters. Plenty of work in that arena!

Now can Deaf help themselves more?

Thank you for hearing me out! Pardon the pun!

Paul =)


PUNISHED FOR USING ASL!









Remembering the old days when looking at Clerc's Children Inc's plans, I was punished for using sign language. Please help vote everyday for the rest of August to make sure we get right information to the public.

Early Identification programs for babies are being manipulated by audists.

Please do not let that happen to them!

Please vote!

Please do not punish children for using sign language!

I was punished for simply expressing communications.

It left me damaged for many years!

I am an old man remembering the pains, frustrations and setbacks due to audism.

Please vote! Please go to the website at VOTE NOW FOR DEAF CHILDREN!

WHAT DO WE DO WITH ORAL PROGRAMS?








As I said in earier posting, that the war on audism is not over yet! I am asking everyone to stop and think about those oral programs that benefited from 130 years of oppression. We need to have them modify the programs to go back to pre-1880 deaf education programs.

Every action since September 11, 1880 were illegal.

With the recent developments, it will take another 130 years to undo the damages that audists have caused.

We need to get the ball rolling and get action done on remedying the wrongs of audism.

We will not be around in 130 years to witness the freedom of audism.

The freedom begins now!

Like Ruthie of Audism Free America says, "Let Freedom Roll!"

Thanks to ICED for turning it around after 130 years of abuses!

We need to keep it rolling further and wider!

The war on audism continues!

Thank you!

Paul

The war against audism is not over yet!








Paul Kiel designed the t-shirt for the purpose of educating the public on stamping out audism! Let's have STAMP OUT AUDISM DAY on September 11, 2010!





Despite the recent developments, the war against audism is not over yet! I do appreciate the recent developments. I do not see the real beef yet! Yeah! Show me the beef!

I want more to combat audism. It is rampant everywhere! It is time to move attention onto the hearing people who are unwittingly and unknowingly that they are contributing to the problems of audism - it is in hospitals, schools, courts, employment, social lives, community projects and more!

"If we can give a "playbook" for each deaf individual, we can win the war in our fight against audism. We cannot afford to be "reactive" -- we have to be proactive - it means strategic planning for the years ahead and install our dreams, wishes and hopes in our today's deaf youth. It means investing our wisdom and rsources in th em - it begins by taking the time to volunteer to help today's youth. Can you do it?

I am borrowing from NSC (NTID Student Congress' motto) "Today's motivation is tomorrow's fulfillment!"

Let's wage the war on audism!

It is time to STAMP OUT AUDISM!

For more information on STAMP OUT AUDISM, please visit www.deafimages.tv -if you click on the title above, it will lead you to the website. Thank you for your support!

AG BELL: The Father of Deaf Eugenics













Alexander Graham "Bell was connected with the eugenics movement in the United States. In his lecture Memoir upon the formation of a deaf variety of the human race presented to the National Academy of Sciences on 13 November 1883 he noted that congenitally deaf parents were more likely to produce deaf children and tentatively suggested that couples where both parties were deaf should not marry.[112] However, it was his hobby of livestock breeding which led to his appointment to biologist David Starr Jordan's Committee on Eugenics, under the auspices of the American Breeders Association. The committee unequivocally extended the principle to man.[113] From 1912 until 1918 he was the chairman of the board of scientific advisers to the Eugenics Record Office associated with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York, and regularly attended meetings. In 1921, he was the honorary president of the Second International Congress of Eugenics held under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Organisations such as these advocated passing laws (with success in some states) that established the compulsory sterilization of people deemed to be, as Bell called them, a "defective variety of the human race". By the late 1930s, about half the states in the U.S. had eugenics laws, and the California laws were used as a model for eugenics laws in Nazi Germany." (from internet sources)

Hitler benefitted from Bell's research. This shows proof why George Veditz wrote that many deaf people feared AG Bell. Today, any followers of AG Bell or any programs that are related to "eugenics" by any form or association are guilty by association with sick individuals who wanted to remove deaf from the human race. It is a sign of sickness on those hearing people who believe in Bell's dangerous fantasy.

Oral programs have hidden agenda for practicing eugenics. This is how and why many oralists are pawns of audism. Do not forget that 62% of AG Bell membership are in medical profession. Their only mission are very pathological and oppressive.

They spread lies through their manipulation of many innocent deaf babies. There is a reason for us to stop them in their tracks!


It is time to tell truth! Oralism is just a false facade for audism.

It is a form of physical and mental abuse that has gone on and on since September 11, 1880.

It is time to STOP IT!

NEVER TRUST AN AUDIOLOGIST!










This story is happening all over the world on how audiologists as well as other so-called hearing professionals who claim to be helping the deaf are TWO-FACED!!!

They lie just like Alexander Graham Bell. They all have been telling LIES since 1880!

They are conspirators of audism!

They are profiteering from deaf babies!

This is a BIG shame!

It is time to STAMP OUT AUDISM!

You need to get off your fannies and stop the madness caused by hearing people!

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! AUDISTS HALL OF SHAME OPENS!










`` KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! ``


It is ages old quote. It was quoted by Sir Francis Bacon in 1597. He quoted it as "Ipsa Scientia Potestas Est."

And Adlai E. Stevenson, Jr on October 8, 1952 said, "If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us. The free mind is not a barking dog, to be tethered on a ten-foot chain.

This is what hearing people are trying to dumb the deaf community down by using oral methods. It is a false facade of audism. Those conspirators of audism have no mercy or no excuses. It is a shocking shame how those hearing people are behaving towards deaf community at large. They are treating deaf people as barking dogs tethered on a ten-foot chains.

They are lying through their teeth like dogs when it comes to oralism. They are too stubborn and too selfish to let deaf use American Sign Language. It looks stupid and silly on them when they tell the public not to use ASL. It backfires on them and there will be more to come.

With the political turmoil and the AB2072, it is time to declare war on their stupidity, selfishness and aggorance.

It is time for cognitive restructuring. It is time to educate the public. It is time to air out their dirty laundry.

Now the Audists Hall of Shame is open and those people are inducted into the Hall of Shame for being conspirators in practicing audism.



AUDISTS HALL OF SHAME 2010







Alexander Graham Bell was the conspirator of eugenics in trying to remove the deaf from the human race. Adolf Hitler adopted his plans for his ill-fated country. Alexander even asked Congress to let him experiment on deaf people and even recommended sterilizing them to prevent more deaf born.






Tony Mendoza authored the bill AB2072 and is considered conspirator of audism.







Oberkotter Foundation is the conspirator of audism by combating ASL and forcing deaf babies to use AVT and cochlear implants. It is viewed as an "evil empire".






Karl White is a conspirator of audism. He was rude to deaf people at the meeting. He said, "Deaf people do not know what is best for deaf babies" quoted by Karl White of EDHI 6:27 PM Apr 21st 2010.






Central Institute for the Deaf is conspirator of audism.







St. Joseph Institute for the Deaf is conspirator of audism.






Jean Moog is conspirator of audism.






Theresa Bulger is conspirator of audism. She made rude comments about a deaf Texas girl who was killed by train.




If you know of anyone who should be in Audists Hall of Shame, let me know!
