TACT, MR.LINCOLN-SIMPLE LINCOLN. (by: Paul Dewitt Goree 2014/10 phxaz)

TACT, Mr. Lincoln (“Simple Lincoln”)

I have been posting several post (various social networks) that are beneficial to me as I go through what I am perceiving as it is happening to me. Thus since 2013 I’ve been posting about a Default (last/formal declaration or accordance) resulting in a Revolt. And until the revolt has closure, all that was constructed cannot simply be abolished. For several reasons, first we (I) am an American, and with that title comes the rights of expression. I cannot nor will wavier my freedom to express, that which I believe is correct. Likewise I encourage all to utilize to the most, their liberties, advocate our liberties and allow all to do the same. The events of my revolt, are due to the negligent actions of 2 case managers (Juan (Johnny) Garcia and Margret Finn) at SouthWest Behavioral Services. I can’t believe that the state of Arizona has licensed 2 case managers, providing them the right to do as they please. The disruption of another persons life could have been prevented by them. The additional comments and suggestion from other professionals, (like the Phoenix Police Department) went unattended to, as I let my life plunged downward, shock that these events are going unattended. As of 10/30/2014 legal action seems to be either too expensive or difficult. Thus I am left to continue writing and posting that maybe LIBERTY in the United States is bias. And that characters, such as Finn and Garcia can actually get away with murder. How many other clients have they done wrong. I’ve met 5 other. So Arizona is in the end responsible for licensing unethical case managers!

With that in mind, this week (Monday 20, 2014) I came across an uplifting article in the Smithsonian. The article was uplifting because it made me realize that my actions as they may be perceive by others, at some point are not well with me either. For example this article is definite proof to me, that my effort has interfered with my prior developed intent. The article was published February 2014 and I am just now reading it October 2014. Shame on me!!! But then it’s best to receive information when it is timely. Timely for me, is this week.The article Lincoln’s Boys is by Joshua Zeltz. As I read this article, I was amazed, up to page 77. Upon which the amazement became an internalization (providing for me validation or my purpose). What was written is as follows…

“(Lincoln) Populated his cabinet with former opponents for the Republican presidents discernment and magnanimity in choosing men who he “did not know”…He recognized them as governors, senators, and statesmen, while they yet looked upon him as a simple frontier lawyer at most, and a rival to who chance had transferred the honor they felt to be due to themselves.” Presaging the popular argument that Lincoln forged a “team of rivals”…the strong personalities and talents who constituted his inner circle did not always appreciate, “the stronger will and …more delicate tact [that] inspired and guided them all.” (Smithsonian, pg.77)

Upon reading this section, I paused and quickly reflect upon my own life (my entire life). What first comes to thought is the book, The Elephant in The Room by Eviatar Zerubavel. Lincoln’s elephant was his life developed tact (which I term his Americanism), and how that lived tact flourished to it’s fullest purposes (regardless of all else, it seems at times). The fact that others ignore or are in denial of the elephant, doesn’t diminish from their effort, as far as Lincoln is concerned. Seeming through his actions alone, accepting them as the persons that they are, as they introduce themselves, as they follow through with their corresponding actions. Still isn’t reason for him to alter any aspect of his life, as lived. Their appreciation of his life development, criticized by them with expression of his leadership abilities, his simple minded ways and thoughts, his inability to choose worthy persons (from his wife to generals), his gullible nature, awkward stance, and peculiar essences. With all of their comments/thoughts/critics, he did by action alone, let them and their expression be, as they should be: VALID. Seeming this is the United States of America, and their opinions are guaranteed through the INDIVIDUALISM of our LIBERTY. Very well tact, Mr. Lincoln was.

I at this point in my life, having be so tolerable and accepting of much, cannot and will not alter, what is already developed. Some still criticize me for being gullible in nature when it comes to all of those I seem to so easily let drift into my life: which results in various attempts of mayhem. I’m ok with that, knowing that it is of my intent to never prevent another from expressing themselves as they attempt to explain or correct what they perceive. Humiliation is insignificant, when principles of expression, individualism, liberty and justice are in question.

I chose to only express my ordeal over the internet. That is my intended thought, by which much criticism is obtain by using such a limiting (as some may perceive) medium to deal with something that is personable. But then I have always admire those who push their freedoms and agendas, seeming it is through those actions that they become LEDGENDARY in the minds of those of the future. All events on the various blogs and social networks are my expression of events that occurred from 11/2012-06/2013 and have trickled down to a revolt of standards of the SCR. No event is without causation. No causation exist upon its own existences. In this social (SCR) reality, we are a social people, and all actions done upon one, eventually effects the entire. Thus Onward with my Default/Revolt.

Also in the spirit of all that has been expressed by me in this posting. I would like to give some credit to a great church/organizational program. Whereby I needed some “pray” for motivation, and I got a daily bread tract plus note in a purple envelope (scan posting to follow soon). I received this purple envelope on 9/28/2014 when I, going through the dull routine events of my REVOLT in Phoenix (again, explanation posting to come). The result of one of these dull events is complete dehydration and energy lost due to no food. I went their and got a lunch sack. There was a purple envelope that stated in a note, Romans 15:13 and a personal note (daily bread) stating, “I am praying that you will see God’s Blessings today”. Which I did, as I read the tract included and it Romans 3:23:6:23. Thank You CHURCH ON THE STREET for being and providing that “pray” I needed 10/13/2014, when I finally opened the envelope and read it

Tribo De Jah- Pueblo De Jah.wmv

Many times I look at the world and beginning to think. 

In these bad days where is Jah people?

 I see by the world this is not- In America, in East,or in Africa 

Where is Jah people? Mi village where this? 

Many days pass on after the last words After Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Samuel, David, Salomon.

After Pedro Paulo and Jesus Christ- Nothing else it was continued- Nothing more than sacred it was written. There is something at end of the book - I surely credit: Only the righteous will be saved !

olamente los justos seran salvos Muy poco seran los elegidos Solamente los justos seran salvos Muy poco seran los elegidos

Don esta mi pueblo de JAH?

Leave your worries behind

'Cause rain, shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight

Internalizing JFK: Social Workers Obligation to Humanity

Internalizing JFK: Social Workers Obligation to Humanity

By: Paul D Goree

Arizona State University

10/27/2011

November 29, 1962, John F. Kennedy avowed to the American public "...I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed over our cities, we, too, will be remembered not for victories or defeats in battle or in politics, but for our contribution to the human spirit." (From the National Guard Armory in Washington, D.C., November 29, 1962) When I think of how I want to touch the world with my social work education and experience, the words of Mr. Kennedy echo through my heart, as an obligation to be upheld. How I have in the past and how I intend to continue my, “contribution to the human spirit?" Is the plight of my total existence?

My journey has been a long winding epic, of voluminous parables, of which I am proud to have established what I intend to be my reparation to society: Humanitarian endeavors. My journey started in 1992. I was 22 years old, attending Seattle Central Community College. I was majoring Social Welfare, with intention to complete my Associate Degree and certificate of CDP (Chemical Dependency Professional). I had glorious plans on revolutionizing substance abuse and assisting in a victorious triumph in the "War on Drugs". These days, those earlier ambitions seem humorously perspicacious. Although I was eager and zealous, my true passion and concern for others, was inevitable and a future in social welfare, would be my destiny.  As life has its winding ways, I had to put my academic endeavors aside and obtain employment. Luckily, I secured contract positions with various agencies, whereby my passion for social work, would not idle.  

The most enjoyable years, were 1997-1999.  I was a contract administrative assistant to a human resource benefit director. My administrator and I were responsible for retirees and surviving spouse benefits. Our job duties would have been conventional; as in providing retirees the opportunity to change their health care plans during open enrollment or assisting surviving spouse with their benefit options. However, the company for which I was contracted had announced their intended closure in the coming years, meaning a major cut in the steel industry of Cleveland, Ohio. The trickling effects this announcement had on the community was devastating, seeming that steel had been the blood line of that economy for nearly a century.

Four hours a day, my administrator and I handled countless panic phone calls from retirees and surviving spouses, who had become alarmed by the news of the closure. Some days the heart grief of our clients was unbearable. I was assisting the retirees and surviving spouse who had overcome the Industrial Revolution, World War 1 and 2 and had cemented American work ethic into the soul of our canvases. These were the generations I admired and to be assisting them was an honor. During many of those panic phone calls, I found myself naturally doing, what social workers do best: listening, assessing, informing and referring. The most benefiting thing I provided my clients, especially surviving spouses, was information regarding other health care options they had available to them. Many of the surviving spouses were spouses of veterans and were eligible for veteran surviving spouse benefits and or medicare widow benefits, yet were not aware of these options.  

I cannot explain the delight of the many clients who called back to thank me and my administrator for referring them to Veteran Services and or the Social Security Administration. The removal of worrying about medical care was one less distress upon them, of which they could have some comforted reassurance. Today as I think back upon those clients, I am even more impressed with legislation which has resulted in more options such as Medicare Part D. These types of events are evidence to me that social welfare is where my soul code resides. (James Hillman)

The next 10 years after those contract positions, my life, consisted of a continuous "peak and valley" rollercoaster ride. During the midst that time period (2006), I found myself assisting my co-workers with what soon would be the collapse of our economy and the recession/depression of 2008. Again my natural passion for social welfare prevail my own circumstances. At the onset of 2008 and with my recent unemployment, I decided to write and maintain a blog concerning unemployment in Las Vegas, Nevada in comparison to the nation (www.paulgoree.wordpress.com).

As our nation witnessed high unemployment levels and the extension of tier benefits, I documented how these efforts were affecting my community in Las Vegas and what unemployment legislation was our elected officials considering. I am proud of the work I did on this blog, for I experienced another venue of social welfare, not often considered by others. For me the number one function of a social worker is assisting those in need of assurance. The assurance usually has to do with economy security.  

Therefore as our nation experienced the trails of a dooming economy during from 2008 – 2010: I provided accurate, up to date detailing of tier benefits to support the ever increasing 99er population.  Also I felt it was my duty to encourage my readers, and facilitate our Presidents optimism of economic recovery.  I often quoted inspirational thoughts from Franklin D. Roosevelt, during the Great Depression of 1932.  One of my more popular post, I advised fellow unemployed persons of a FDR quotes from 1932. In an attempt to prevent lofty behaviorism, FDR instructed the America public "...above all else, do something…” And to engrave endurance, he stated, “…“ When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.”(Franklin D. Roosevelt )

Keeping in the spirit of FDR, I decided to volunteer my time at the Salvation Army. The majority of my time was spent, assisting the homeless in the DRC (Day Resource Center), where they could take a shower, get assistance with social service and medical needs, and get referrals to veteran assistance and social security.  Volunteering provided me with real life grassroot experience and insight into  the societal need of social workers.  When my employment situation did eventually get  better,  I unknowingly was experiencing employer abuse and warned my blog readers about the consequences of prematurely waivering ones labor rights out of desperation for some employment during this recession/depression. I informed them of the state and federal laws that assign the titles of contract employee verse contingent workers. This was valuable information, for many employers sought to cut operation expenses by using contingent workers as contract employee and avoiding employment insurance taxes.

Over the last two years I have put a lot of thought into my passion (social welfare) , its history and how I intended to re-enter the academic world. The most inspiring thing I have constructed is a list of historic personalities, whom I term "My Scholar Heroes".  These are persons I have researched, admire and plan on dedicating my life towards their endeavors. They include, Benjamin Franklin, General William Booth, Jean Henri Dunant, Clara Barton, Ron Dellums, Jane Adams, Mary Richmond, Jimmy Carter, Edit and Grace Abbot, Lester Blackwell Granger, and so many others I am endlessly adding to my list. The one attribute each of these, scholar heroes have in common is they each contributed to humanity something of a social welfare value. They touched the world, by providing from their passion to assist in the overall betterment of humanity. I believe the most effective way to accomplish this is through social welfare, which includes education.    

Today I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to continue my education at Arizona State University majoring in social welfare. My intentions are to finally complete my undergrad degree, obtaining a BSW in 2013. At which time I am planning on achieve what I think is the ultimate in my field, a JD/MSW. How I plan on touching the world with social welfare is by completing my educational goals, then continuing what I have been doing for almost 20 years now, simply providing some assurance to those who seek it. I have a specific interest in homelessness and want to be involved with non-profit homeless services.  As our economy idles, more and more working Americans are finding themselves unable to keep up with their family living expenses.

 Many of them are falling victim to depression and the fear of homeless for themselves and families is an event of failure. I think it is critical that stigma associated with homelessness, poverty and social welfare be removed, in order for recipients to fully benefit from all that is available to them. When I was volunteering, I witness the tragic depths of self guilt and pity, by men and women who felt they had lost their grasp of industriousness. They had internalized national unemployment as a personal guilt. I sought to it; to remind them that our current economic condition is not their fault and they (we) are not victims. 

Like FDR, I reminded them that during these times of misfortune, we must keep functioning. The social welfare tools available to society are in part paid for by them, when they were employed. Simple awareness is sometimes the best antidote. I want to fill the social welfare field with awareness.  Fortunately with a JD/MSW I will have some leverage in policy making, which I intend to use for the reassurance of social justice (economically and civilly). 

Case Manager Violating 5th Amendment! What is fair and not in America these days?

All the time this discussion was going on, client 2 was in his room, with a few of the strangers who were not interested in what client 1 had to say. A few days following this discussion, client 2 walked into the apartment with equipment he had purchased from Cox Communication. Client 1 had already had an account with Cox Communication for Wi-Fi service only. The account was established September 2012. Client 2 opened a new account in his own name for DSL telephone service (seeming the apartment lacked the stated telephone for emergency calls) and cable television services (the only television was in client 2’s bedroom). In order for the DSL telephone to function, it needed client 1’s Wi-Fi box and service. At first client 1 had no problem with letting client 2 use the service. However on this particular day, client 1 was working on some class work on his blackberry phone, seeming client 2 had stolen his laptop. Client 2 arrived home and went to turn on the DSL, interrupting the Wi-Fi signal of client 1.

 A confrontation resulted, whereby client 1 unplugged the Wi-Fi box and placed it in his room. Client 2 demanded that client 1 plug it back in. Client 1 refused. Client 2 then proceeded to go to the front office of the apartment complex and call the case workers. Client 2 returned and informed client 1 that both case workers were coming over. When the case workers arrived they attempted to resolve the problem. They did not address any of the prior 6 months of neglect and police reports, or the condition of the apartment, the welfare of the clients, simply the issue at hand. Client 2 explained the event, by accusing client 1 of not allowing him to use the cable signal for a telephone call. Client 1 respondent by informing the case managers that the cable signal is not the problem, the problem is that he was in the middle of doing some class work on his private property, with his private account that he had invested over $700 in over the past 10 months with Cox Communication, and that he did not feel he had to attend to Client 2’s disrespectful demand! Client 1 pointed out to the case managers that not only has he let client 2 use the Wi-Fi box, not once did client 2 show any appreciation with a simple thank you. He was upset with client 2’s constant plug in of the DSL box when both clients have cell phones, and that it cost him $75 dollars deposit for the connection to function, by which client 2 didn’t pay one dime. Thus in order for it to be equally shared doesn’t seem possible, seeming client 1 had the main account first and paid the deposit.

 The case workers respondent by urging client 1 to cooperate and let client 2 share the Wi-Fi signal. Client 1 concluded at this point that these two case workers were incompetent and that actions must be taken to have them reviewed.  A temporary agreement was made, which client 2 enjoyed, but client 1 felt was unfair. How could two case manager instruct a client as to how they need to allocate their private property against their will. This was a violation of client 1’s civil liberties (5th Amendment.). Within the 5th Amendment, it is stated..."be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation..." Considering this clause, it is important that the following is understood, with regards to private property:

1.) The owner's exclusive authority to determine how private property is used.

2.) The owner's peaceful possession, control, and enjoyment of his/her legally purchased, deeded private property.

3.) The owner's ability to make contracts or decisions to use, sell, rent, or give away all or part of the legally purchased/deeded private property. (Tom Deweese, 2012).

Entrapment

Entrapment

Prosecuting so-called "victimless crimes" (such as narcotics offenses, prostitution, and pornography distribution) relies heavily on sting operations in which undercover officers posing as fellow criminals gain the confidence of suspects and catch them dirty. Other kinds of crimes can also involve a suspect's misplaced trust in an undercover agent, including bribery, fencing, auto theft, sale of alcohol to minors, and even solicitation for murder.

When working these kinds of cases, you're allowed to go to certain lengths to create opportunities for crimes or to fool suspects into thinking you're a lawbreaker yourself so as to induce them to attempt or commit a crime, for which you can then arrest them. But there's a limit. If you exceed it, you allow the suspect to raise a defense of entrapment.

My Thoughts:
Common sense...anyone ACCUSING another of being an officer or under
cover or co-operative is probably not who they say they are! And maybe
trying to create confusion of a mask for themselves!!!
