Caleb Medley - Marine - California

Marine Caleb Medley, age 26, of Colorado, died in the line of duty on February 26, 2013, in Perris, Riverside County, California. 

Caleb was stationed at Camp Pendleton, California. He was an assistant radio operator with the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division.

He was on a skydiving training exercise with other marines. His parachute failed to open and he fell to his death. 

This tragedy occurred at Perris Valley Skydiving, which is not a government run facility. However, military personnel do skydiving training exercises there. Military personnel from around the world have been training at the site for the past decade. There have been at least 15 deaths at the site since 2000, with about 140,000 jumps taking place every year.

Gabriel, Archangel, who stands
in the presence of God, pray for Caleb
Since this terrible tragedy occurred in February of 2013 and 15 deaths have apparently occurred at this site since 2000 - then on average more than 1 person has died there every year. If this many deaths occur, then perhaps the 140,000 jumps per year are beyond their capacity to safely handle.

One of mankind's primal fears is the fear of falling. The fear of falling is evident in infants and across all cultures. Falling to one's death is particularly gruesome.

The Government of California and the Federal Government should be looking into the operations of this skydiving company with a view to determining what is going on there.  The military should suspend contracting out skydiving training exercises to this company, pending investigation.

Caleb was a combat veteran who had previously served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Caleb had received two combat Action Ribbons for having been under fire.

Our soldiers die in the line of duty even when they are not in combat zones.

Caleb is survived by many loving friends and relatives.

Pray for all who die in the line of duty.

Pray for all who die by misadventure. They are with us one moment and gone the next. Amen.

Thank you for serving, Caleb.

Let us pray that Caleb Medley is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.

Impermanence and the Human Condition

The photograph below was taken in 1913 in Washington, District of Columbia.  



This photo is truncated.  There are many more individuals in the original photo who have been cropped out in order to fit this blog page.  

The thousands of people captured here are all dead.  Every one.  And so will we all be. 

In 2113, someone will be on the computer and will be looking at photos of 2013 and will say "They're all dead now."  

That is the impermanence of the human condition. 


Tempus fugit, therefore:  

Let's all work seriously toward an end to War. 

Let's all work toward justice. 

Let's all work toward equality. 

Let's try to make this
World work.....
Let's all work toward religious tolerance.

Let's all work against religious isolationism and towards the Doctrine of Inclusion. 

Let's all work toward providing peace and safety, lodging, food, clean water, health care, and the necessities of life for everyone, world-wide. 

God help us all.  Amen. 

Do not forget us, Father.  Amen.

All saints and all angels pray for us.  Amen.

Brittany Clardy, age 18, died sometime in February of 2013, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

Brittany went missing on February 11, 2013. She had taken her mother's car to go shopping.

Her car was found on February 13, 2013 and towed to an impound lot by a towing company. They didn't check the vehicle. On February 24, 2013, it was confirmed that Brittany's body was inside the vehicle. 

Her death is being investigated as a murder.


It has been reported that Brittany was involved in prostitution and a man who was a client is the person who killed her.  This may be so or not. 

However, judge not, lest you be judged.  He who is without sin, cast the first stone. 

She had worked for three years in an elementary child care program.

Manitoba Mennonites and Catholics - not in support of anti-bullying law

The government of the Canadian Province of Manitoba has legislation up for consideration (Bill 18) to attempt to put an end to bullying at schools or at least to try to curtail it somewhat. 

The proposals are based on similar legislation in effect in the neighboring province of Ontario. 

Manitoba Mennonites praying that Anti-Bullying legislation
doesn't pass into law

The legislation is expected to pass by September of 2013, so that it is in place for the Fall school term. 
Gay Straight Alliance Groups at
School - prohibited

This is a good thing, as any attempts, at any level to prevent the torment of kids and young adults is the right way to go.  We should want to prevent teen suicides and the trauma from bullying that can be carried well into adulthood and can profoundly affect an individual's perception of their worth. 

However....apparently Mennonites and some Catholics in Manitoba are praying that this Anti-Bullying Bill is not passed.

Why you ask?  Because private Mennonite and Catholic schools may be forced by this legislation to accommodate gay and lesbian support groups and Gay-Straight Alliance Groups. 

Apparently, Bill 18 proposes that schools must allow student groups that promote respect for sexual orientation and gender identity to use school facilities for meetings.

This, the opponents say, strips faith-based schools of the right to set rules according to their beliefs.  What a load of rubbish.

Mennonites and Catholics should not be praying unto God for inequality. 

Pray that we all get with the human program for today - which includes equality for all.  You can't cherry pick human rights if you have a conscience. 

Do we have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st Century?  Are we going to continue to "party like it's 1899"?  

India - Rockets and Priorities in the Modern Era

There's money for this...
On February 25, 2013, India successfully launched a rocket carrying seven satellites from various countries into orbit.

The satellites include one looking for asteroids hurtling towards Earth, another to monitor for climate change, and changes in ocean currents and so on.  These satellites came from Canada, Austria, Denmark and Britain. 

India, which aims to send its first manned flight into space in 2016, has emerged as a significant player in the lucrative global commercial satellite-launch market, according to space experts.

India wants to launch a manned flight into space?   Why?

How about launching some programs in your own country that could possibly benefit your citizens? 

God save us from our governments.  Amen. 

India - the transportation system
India - the Urban Renewal System

India - the social welfare system 

India - the electrical system


Aaron Dugmore - bullied to death in England

Aaron Dugmore, age 9, of Erdington, died on February 12, 2013, at a hospital in Birmingham, England.

He had hung himself. 

His mother and step-father allege that Aaron was bullied to death by students attending Erdington Primary School. They allege that he endured months of bullying by Asian fellow students who taunted Aaron for being "white". 

His family say that Aaron was threatened with a plastic knife by one Asian pupil who warned him: “Next time it will be a real one.”

Aaron's family also state that they complained to the school but nothing was done to stop the bullying. 75 percent of the students at this school come from ethnic backgrounds. 

Aaron's mother also stated: “We are not racist people. Aaron got on with all the children at his last school, and for him to have been bullied because of the colour of his skin makes me feel sick to my stomach.”

They stated that after Aaron began attending this particular school he became troubled, argumentative and unhappy. It was then that he admitted that he was being bullied at school.
Saint Christopher, pray for
Aaron

It is alleged that the school principal said to Aaron's family when they complained: "You didn’t have to come to this school, you chose to come here.”

If this is the case, the school principal should be fired. This is not how reports of bullying should be handled by a responsible administrator. 

If the principal and teachers at a Primary school can't monitor and handle kids under age 12, then what hope is there when these kids attend secondary schools as teenagers? Do they just run amok? 

Aaron is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his mother, Kelly-Marie Dugmore and his step-father, Paul Jones. 

God save the children from torment.  Amen. 

Let us pray that Aaron Dugmore is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.

Horsemeat scandal in Europe - not really funny

The entire horsemeat scandal in Europe has some people chuckling and coming up with witty slogans and signs about eating horse. 
"No horsemeat" sign

It isn't really all that funny. 

Horse DNA has been found in food products such as lasagna, burgers, ground beef and other beef related products. 

Tests are being conducted by the British Government to determine the amount of Horse in particular products and for the presence of phenylbutazone, which is a horse medication prohibited for human consumption. 

It has been stated by some that the amount of horse that has been found in European processed food is negligible and that horse is generally safe to eat. 

We would suggest that someone is making money substituting horse for beef. This is called "fraud".  Horse is cheaper than beef. 
I'm a food broker.  I have a shipment
of Ground Beast to sell you.
Oops!!!  I meant Ground Beef. 

If we wanted "Black Beauty Horse Burgers", we'd buy them.  But nobody does and that is why they are labelled as Beef Burgers when they aren't. 

Scams and frauds by food suppliers, slaughter houses, food brokers and food manufacturers are rampant world-wide. 

A U.S. university recently did a test study on fish. Red Snapper samples were obtained from fish markets, restaurants and grocery stores. 120 samples of Red Snapper were purchased and tested. 7 of them were actually Red Snapper. 

These two men were executed over
contaminated food
On November 24, 2009, China executed two men for their role in a tainted milk powder scandal in which at least six children in China died and more than 300,000 became sick.

The case was one of China's worst-ever food safety scandals, involving tainting of infant formula with the industrial chemical melamine, which can and did cause kidney stones and kidney failure. Melamine, used in the manufacture of plastics and fertilizer, was added to watered-down milk to fool inspectors testing for protein, and to boost profits.

It is all about corporate and individual greed.


God save us from the Corporate thieves. Amen.
