NAD, only for the oppressed?
Holism Is NAD (National Association of the Deaf) only for deaf people who suffered and were oppressed against?Are you unqualified because you might not have suffered or experienced oppression as a deaf person?That is what I was told by a deaf gay man. To begin with I thought it was a laughable notion until I realized how serious this man was and that he really believed it. &...

Thank you GLBT, our Trojan Horse!
Holism In my recent blog post titled "Dear NADQ (National Association of the Deaf Queers)" I began to realize something quite essential. The Trojan Horse has invaded NAD! Much to our surprise this Trojan Horse was filled with GLBT warriors. I'm not kidding you here. The GLBT has invaded NAD (National Association of the Deaf) and applied enough pressure and change...

Dear QNAD (Queer National Association of the Deaf)
Holism Dear QNAD (Queer National Association of the Deaf),I apologize for my tardiness in the coming but I was able to catch a whiff of what has just developed over at NAD on the subject of queer deaf people. I thought it was rather interesting because I didn't know that NAD had a vested interest in people's sex lives or people's sexual lifestyles. I've read some...

AFA's Demands. EHDI's Response.
Holism One other letter was brought to my attention just now and due to the nature of recent debates on AFA (Audism Free America) and EHDI (Early Hearing Detection & Intervention) I thought I'd share this one with you. This one was written some time in Janyary 2012 and is older than the earlier one I posted. That is what makes it even more interesting. Before I publish...

Black, Gay, Women Rights. Deaf Rights?
Holism I have been observing some of the 'Deaf' rights movement for the past several years and I had to wonder if they really knew what they were doing. They kept comparing their movement with black movement, gay movement, women movement and such. Oftentimes they would make reference to civil rights leaders such as MLK Jr. and such.Well, comparing us to the blacks, gays and ...

Oh Really? (for TheDeafEdge)
Holism Instead of leaving a comment under your recent blog I thought I'd respond via my own blog. One reason is because I know you do not like me. This much is evident every where. For as long as I could remember you, dating back to at least four years ago, you have spoken ill of me numerous times. One source told me you had a healthy disdain for smart men. Go figure. ...

AFA = American Failures Association
Holism It was brought to my attention that 'Aufism Free America' was in fact a hideous mask, to supposedly mean 'American Failures Association. In short, if you feel that you have failed as a deaf person then you are entitled to register with American Failures Association who will then assist you in staging anger-based rallies against those who we believe were responsible fo...

AFA Strengthens EHDI
Holism After watching some of the recent videos released by AFA (Aufism Free America) seen here, it was not difficult to see how they actually helped EHDI (Early Hearing Detection and Intervention) organization. The aggressive behaviors demonstrated in these videos will only drive parents of deaf children further away from the signing community. Don't mark my words. Watch th...

Turning A Blind Eye on Karl White's Letter
Holism Call it stinky politics. I have here with me a piece of hard evidences (a smoking gun in fact!) showing that some of you knew of this nice letter prepared by Karl White in advance of the EHDI conference in St. Louis. This letter was circulated in a closed "Deaf Community Action" group on Facebook, which some of you (big "D" radical militants) belong to. But yet you ...

EHDI Karl White's Position
Holism So... what is Karl White's (Director of EHDI) position on the matter? According to this local St. Louis article seen here at StLToday.com Karl White made his position clear on where he stood. Read below. ----Quoted ----Karl White, director of the National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management at Utah State University, said EHDI participants recognize deafness...

Nano-sized "D" Movement Goes Undetected!
Holism I turned on my radar system during the weekend, waiting to hear about this so-called rally / protest arranged by Deaf Bilingual Coalition / Aufism Free America / Deafhoodized people. The whole weekend I was waiting for a sign of life coming from this rally but saw absolutely nothing. Not a single blip! I nearly fell asleep because of the inactivity.After the rally was...

Who Is Being Delusional? Eh?
Holism Greetings. I stumbled into Mishka's recent blog seen here. I had to chuckle at some of the hilarious and misleading statements and comments that were made under her blog. I meant no offense to anybody but kindly understand the irony here. Mishka along with some people accused Hear Indiana and AGBADHH for being delusional. However if you read carefully it's not dif...

Dismissal & Imposing by "D" Extremists
Holism Greetings readers. It's been a long while since I've blogged on a subject. Two reasons. 1) The editors at DeafRead.com have been rejecting my blogs. Instead of publishing it on their main page they'd hide it in the extra page. I suspect that their editors do not like me and the views I bring to the table. It's becoming a waste of time for me to try and understand what...

The Drive For Economic Power. Really?
Holism It is high time I v/blogged on this subject. Earlier in 2011 I had the itch to respond to Ryan Comerson's video known as "VRS Our Economic Power?" but apparently the itch was not strong enough for me to respond until now. I've been observing recent developments such as 1) Sentences that were given to Yeh brothers. 2) The cheering of some people who were glad to see t...

Our Embattled Leader, John TC Yeh
Holism I've been meaning to v/blog on this subject for a while now but didn't until I was absolutely sure that the hearing date was set on the stone. Now that we're nearing upcoming sentence hearing for our embattled leader, John TC Yeh and his brother Joseph Yeh I decided to v/blog about it, to talk about my lifelong friend and mentor. Here's a story on how I met him 25 y...

Two Visions
Holism A true Lakota story on two visions. Two elders had different visions with different outcomes for the same tribe. One vision showed total destruction of their people. One vision showed harmony and growth for their people. So which vision turned out to be true? The answer is both. Both visions became true. It boiled down to what the people believed, as in “word become...

The Damage Has Been Done!
Holism Sometime ago I v/blogged on the subject of Closed Society and how I thought it would be defeated by the Open Society, every time, due to information age that we all live in. Some time passed before I found an excellent example of the earlier point I made. Somebody in the facebook posted this video seen here at; I watched it and thought it was a simple inspirational ...

Why I said ASL Failed and Disintegrates
Holism Why I said ASL failed and what I meant by the statement. Carrying the 7th generation "deaf family" label I witnessed and observed at least four generations of deaf people and their so-called communities. I can safely vouch the important fact that ASL lacks structural values necessary for our own defense and how it seem to disintegrate deaf people's vocabulary and gr...

Intertribal Deaf Council
Holism Ella and few others came up with desperate final shots and accused me of destroying Intertribal Deaf Council. I thought I’d grab the opportunity and explain what really happened. In 2006 when I attended IDC gathering they were over-taken by “wanna-be” white leaders. I might be the person that broke the IDC’s back but it was only because of their lengthy dishonest and ...

Not A Leader?
Holism Hmmm... I decided to v/blog on this subject. One of a known leader abruptly made a declaration that she is not a leader but a follower instead. Let's take a deep look at why she said it. The timing of her statement is so essential. She's the one that brought deafhood to America and developed an American version of deafhood by trying to interpret deaf journey for us ...

ASL Reductionists!
Holism Before you roll your eyes and spit out nasty words for me, take a deep breath and hear me out for few minutes.Thanks to reductionists who manage to minimize ASL every time they tried to retrieve it. These are the same people that are constantly trying to discredit PSE and English with hope to give ASL the boost it desperately need. Take a peek at this video done by D...

Helping A Drowning Society
Holism I've been doing some serious thinking for the past several weeks about the society that seem to be making the desperate gasping sound of a drowning community. One thing came to my mind, that of helping a drowning society and the dire consequences behind the noble effort to rescue them. And why it's happening.Many of you know I've been v/blogging on various topics fo...

Update on Convo Relay & ASLRucks.net
Holism I v/blogged on the subject recently therefore I felt the obligation to provide my viewers and readers with an update. As of today, November 15th, 2010 Convo Relay has decided to terminate their relationship with ASLRocks.net. I know that certain people from ASLRocks.net are going to assume that I'm excited about the news. It's far from the truth. The truth is I'm ...

Does Convo Relay Support Cyberbullying?
Holism I had to say something about what I am seeing here between Convo Relay company and ASLRucks.net. And no I did not spell rucks by mistake. It is Rucks as in Ruckus! The credit goes to my son and his latest vlog seen here on DeafVideo.tv.Allow me to get right back to the point of this blog. I have absolutely no interest in ASLRucks.net and their contents however due to...

Deaf, World Class Whiners
Holism Just wanted to point out the obvious for you.Numerous so-called culturally and linguistically "D" deaf people are world class whiners. Thanks to long historic line of Deaf Whiners, the deaf community is known as the society of world class whiners.Mind you, whining is as contagious as our laughter and smile. When you laugh there is almost certain somebody nearby that...

Court Docs. on Imperia Invest
Holism Is this going to be the next wave of legal proceedings against some of the deaf people who actively pursued deaf investors and recruited them for Imperia Invest IBC?According to the court documents prepared by U.S. Security & Exchange Commission it could happen. This is no laughing matter because the investment involves 6,000 deaf people who poured four million dolla...

Johnny, You Still Hurting?
Holism I have a question for you, John Egbert. Are you still hurting from the DBC ship that capsized at the deep sea? Sure sounded like it.As usual, when you blog about something you have always demonstrated the art of selective hearing. You have a long history of posting only what you wanted people to see and then you would hide your head in the sand when you see somethi...

Trust Your Leaders On AB 2072?
Holism I've been watching different announcements and statements coming from deaf leaders on AB 2072 after it was vetoed by California's Governor. Some of them tried to save their faces by celebrating. Some of them went even further and misled their people. Some of them misinterpreted the veto statement by the Governor. What kind of leaders are they? How could they allo...

New! Deafhood Video Game!
Holism My son Cobi created this humorous vlog after watching Jeff's vlog on Deafhood Church and following the turmoil that occurred at aslrocks.net. He created the entire game from scratches and did an excellent job, in my opinion. And then he asked me to join him in doing a play for the video. Was fun while it lasted. Enjoy it but don't watch it if you do not have an ou...

ASL Community, a Society of the Infested?

It is my understanding that he is currently in jail.I would not care to elaborate on that but wanted to say that I traced the news all the way to an individual I've never heard of. His user name with youtube w...

Last Stand? Prayers Have Been Answered.
Holism Just wanted to say that my prayers may have been answered. I've been praying for the radical "D" people to make their "Last Stand" at some point. And finally there seem to be an indication of an upcoming Last Stand!This morning I ran into a blog site, issuing a call to make the last stand. How exciting! It could mean we're going to finally witness the fall of extr...

AB 2072 Opponents, One Confused People!
Holism I have to say something here about the opponents of AB 2072. They are one really confused group of people. Seriously.Most of you will remember my initial v/blog on AB 2072 where I stated for the record on how I saw the original bill as an opportunity to market ASL. It was the truth because it allowed organizations like CAD, DCARA, GLAD, NORCAL and such entities to c...

Deaf Culture?
Holism I posted a comment under Candy's Blog and thought I'd blog about it as well. Here goes....Candy's blog offered an interesting read again. I decided to post my thoughts on the subject because of the irony. Last night I was having an interesting ‘cultural’ discussion with members of K’amligihahlhaahl. They're also known as Nisga'a. This Native American tribe is l...

NAD, a society of the Illusions?
Holism I'm presently enjoying myself some where in the far north this morning, smelling the scents of pine and tamarack trees with a world class view of a very calm river. I see a couple of fishing boats sporting for hearty meals, tempting me to try my luck some time soon. As I sat here this morning watching the faithful sun making its regular visit this time of the day I h...

Our ethnic group is in lieu of what?
Holism This blog is in response to John Egbert's recent posting of an article titled "Deaf-world an ethnic group not a disabled group". It sounded like a severe case of self-denial on Harlan Lane's part as well as John Egbert. Allow me to explain this further.First, let's look up 'ethnic group' in Collegiate Edition of Merriam Websters. It says;1 : Heathen2 a : of or rel...

Are We Really That Helpless?
Holism The subject of "earned rights" versus "free rights" came up once again when I asked a friend to help and prepare an unofficial transcript on AB 2072 Senate Health hearing. I made it happen within 2 days and yet Ella discouraged people from reading it. What is she afraid of? Is she trying to dumb down the deaf community and keep them on the dark side? Does she really b...

Saving Faces on AB 2072
Holism The AB 2072 oppositions are now trying to say they won the battle at the Senate hearing. It was rather interesting to wait for their response at the end of day. They came out, slowly and unsure of themselves. And then they tried to desperately save their own faces. The latest messages seem to be that they managed to squeeze in their own amendment and it passed in ...

A Flattened Peacock on AB 2072
Holism Can't say I didn't warn you about the peacock effect on AB 2072. Simply put. The peacock was flattened during the process. The Senators at the hearing passed the bill, 5 to 1. Senate Romero was the sole Senator to have opposed the bill. I watched the entire AB 2072 hearing on the Senate floor. The video was not captioned but the staff in charge of the live stream...

Peacock Effects on AB 2072
Holism Apparently somebody went to a zoo recently and observed some of the peacocks. And came up with a brand new strategic idea, a new trick called illusions. They have to. Illusions are the only thing they have to work with. They can't even drum up enough support any where so they depend on world of illusions to help their causes. DBC and AFA were full of it. They ...

Stupid, no. Lack of knowledge, yes.
Holism I'd like to respond to those who thought Candy was calling them stupid. First thing first... Candy never called anybody stupid. Secondly, she never said you guys could not read. She was only saying that some of you didn't read the bill and because of that there are numerous myths and lies flying around on what AB 2072 really means for deaf children in California.I'...

Free rights are free because we did not pay for these rights. It's the public that...

The Third Mask!
Holism Beware of the third mask created by the same deafhood leaders. This third mask is known as Deaf Civil Rights group. Deafhood leaders started with DBC and it almost worked. Over 700 people fell for their original mask trick but the crowd dispersed to less than 10 during their next rally. They went back to the drawing board and created AFA. Needless to say that I c...
