Ben Simmons' Relationship with 76ers Reminds Me of Workplace Harassment & Bullying

 

Written by Alberta Parish

The situation with the 76ers and Ben Simmons, one of their star players, who no longer wants to play for the organization, is a stark reminder of what happens when an employee is fed up with his or her company. The more I think about this story, the more I think about the situations I went through with former employers, with managers and supervisors who were bullies that routinely harassed and bullied me. I remember my last employer, Shoe Show, and the HR personnel, and the managers, and how insensitive and controlling they all were. I was with that company for over two years, and I endured two years of workplace harassment. At the time I began working at Shoe Show, I had a rough time dealing with my mom’s death, and I remember how insensitive the district manager was. She came across very cold at times. And I can only assume that she didn’t want me to be in that headspace, but she offered no emotional support either. Not even a conversation about my mom’s death and how I was feeling. She wanted me to act in ways where she didn’t have to put up with my energy or me being in that grieving state. 

I look at Ben Simmons, and I see somebody who wants out of an abusive arrangement or perhaps, an arranged marriage with the Philadelphia 76ers, and I don’t blame his actions or attitude, because I know what it’s like to not be fully embraced or respected by an organization or company. I know what it feels like when people constantly criticize you for everything and never have anything nice to say. And the harder you work, the nastier their attitude becomes toward you. Then, you start asking yourself, am I doing something wrong to make you hate me so much? The relationship becomes so toxic that you get to a point where you are now indifferent, and you just don’t care about any of it. 

Ben Simmons' relationship with the Philadelphia 76ers reminds me of the abusive relationship I endured under three past employers. Before the start of the NBA preseason, Ben Simmons' request to be traded by the 76ers is enough indication for me to know that the relationship between Simmons and the 76ers organization was that of toxicity and it was also a trigger for me reminding me of times when I didn't want any part of a company or employer. The only difference is Simmons makes millions of dollars to play a sport and I don't. However, the relationship between him and the company is extremely toxic, and based on my own personal experiences, I can see that he wants out of that abusive marriage. Because one thing I know when working with other black people is they can be extremely abusive and discriminatory toward other black people. They can be as toxic, discriminatory, and abusive as white people, costing you career opportunities, advancements, money, locking you out of the job market, out of the industry, blackballing, and denying your rights despite the 1964 Civil Rights Act that made it illegal to discriminate based on race, color, national origin, religion, and sex.

There is a famous quote by the actor Chris Rock who said, "If you're black, America's like the uncle that paid your way through college—bus molested you." The same abusive relationship Ben Simmons has with his employer is the same abusive relationship that black people have with the Democratic Party; the same abuse most of you still endure with a spouse, or partner, or coworker, or family members.

It is always people who are closest to you that can do the most irreparable damage to you and cause the most harm to you. I think it may have been when I reached age 40 that I began assessing more carefully my work relationships and whether I truly wanted to continue those abusive relationships or trade it all in for peace of mind because most workplace bullying came from black people. I am black and black people are the closest to me in proximity. Therefore, I had to be keenly aware of those closest in proximity to me even more than focusing on white people. Because it's not always the enemy that you don't see who will kill you. It is usually the enemy that is around you...in close proximity. And I'm not excusing the abusive nature that white people continue perpetuating, because systematically to this very day, they still have systems in place that openly and covertly discriminate against black people and people of color. Systematically, they continue to abuse their power in working against the interests of other groups.

There is a love-hate relationship between black people and white people. The same love-hate relationship also exists between black people and the Democratic Party. President Biden and Vice President Harris ran on a ticket of putting together a plan for Black America that would benefit black folks. The Biden Plan for Black America made promises to advance the economic mobility of African Americans and close the racial wealth and income gaps. But the only thing black people have gotten in return for their vote is an agenda that will ensure equity between the lower income earners and the poor by making the poor even poorer and the rich richer. Now, our very constitutional rights are not only being threatened, but our money doesn't go as far as it once did. When I go to the gas pump to fill up, I pay more for gas than I've ever paid before. I pay more for food at the grocery store. The price of goods and services are so much higher than before the pandemic. 

For the past couple of years, I've observed the behavioral patterns of people as their actions and attitudes, much of which based on their own faulty decision-making due to a pandemic, became increasingly worse. Many had to make choices they otherwise would not have made, as business owners all over the country could no longer keep their doors open, millions of jobs had vanished, job hours had been cut, the price of goods and services began increasing, etc. The pandemic followed by nationwide protests in 2020 had a major psychological impact on entire families, and many became completely out of touch with what was happening around them, as many also continue acting in ways right now showing their non-concern for the current discourse and rhetoric coming from the White House, which will produce major consequences in all our lives.

Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" plan seeks to squeeze the last dregs of whatever currency (capital) we all have left in our bank accounts, savings, Social Security, disability benefits, and if you did manage to create a safe cushion to fall back on with a 401K plan or pension, they will snatch that cushion out from under you.

Since the pandemic, America has changed for the worse and things are never going back to the ways things were prior to the pandemic. What do I mean by this? I'm talking about the economy, the job market, the price of goods, infringement of your constitutional rights, religious freedom, freedom of the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. When you go to the supermarkets, the shelves are half-full. When you fill up at the gas pump, you are paying on average anywhere between $3 and $7 more for gas. There's less quantity of goods at the supermarkets and smaller stores.

Joe Biden has presented a 3.4 trillion-dollar infrastructure bill that the Democrats want to pass in the Congress and Senate before the end of the year, which is going to impact every poor person in this country and by proxy, the middle-class. Some of you think you're safe because you're in a middle-class tax bracket but your money won't mean anything when this economy collapse and the dollar fails. And it will. When the dollar fails, your pension and 401K will go away. The middle-class will be just like they were before they started working.

Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" plan was written over 1000 pages long, and most black people are not going to read a thousand pages worth of legislation. Most black people won't even read a hundred-page book. I still see too many black people walking around under a delusion that they're free. I still see dead people. They look like you and I. Talk like you and me. But they're spiritually dead and, therefore, cannot see those things that are right there in front of them...even though if they looked closely enough, they would still be able to discern.

While the protests against police, and the riots, and looting of stores had our attention diverted throughout 2020, they were planning the takedown of the country, our civil liberties, and the economy. They tricked black people into putting them in power only to pass laws and create policies against our interests. Government handouts in exchange for freedom and liberty is what will make many people sell their soul. We've seen it time and time again. People become like ravenous beasts when they're starving to death. You can look at countries like North Korea where people literally do not have enough food to eat, and criminal organizations have overrun places like Venezuela where women and children are preyed upon by predators.

American black people—although many are proud gun owners, still do not possess military might. Therefore, it would be easy for the government to round us all up overnight and take us all to concentration camps without the world even knowing about it, especially in the event that the government controls social media, which is privately owned for the time being. However, private ownership of social media is subject to change in the future.

The thing that most puzzles me is the lack of urgency in the American Negro to not only see the full scope of the transforming of the country under the Biden-Harris administration but the lack of interest in ensuring that we maintain the basic freedoms that we still can access and utilize as long as the Bill of Rights and Constitution remain legal documents.

It is amazing how so many black people are so smart when it comes to everything except discerning the signs of the time in which they live. They got all the knowledge to go beat other people over the head with but cannot see what is going on directly around them or right there in front of their faces. And this is the plight of black people in the wilderness of North America. They have eyes to see but don't see.

I realize times are different. Things have changed for the worse in America. Not only must I prepare for the worst-case scenario but in worst-case scenarios, men become monsters. In fact, a lot of people that are in close proximity to you will hurt you more than a stranger ever will. For me, being around people who are abusive has made me realize how expendable one's life truly is, and you must always be vigilant because the monsters that exist around you are constantly watching. They don't want you to be happy since they're not happy. And if they can't have their way with you or dominate you, they want to subdue you, choke the life out of you, steal your life force, and stamp out your light.

To me, black people have been what the dominant society has historically done to black people. To this day, whenever I'm triggered, I can see my abusers and the mental health crisis they experienced, as they projected their mental illness onto me. When I see certain behavioral patterns, I make no difference between black people and any other group that could potentially harm me. I put them all in the same boat. They're all dangerous in my eyes. I see no difference between dangerous black people and dangerous white people, except one group is in power and the other is not.

The thing I realize the most having been born in the wilderness of North America, raised in Liberty City, Florida, and bred in the Deep South is that the majority of people living on this planet have the potential to exact violence and aggression toward people who are closest to them, which makes living in a broken-down system with a collapsed economy in an environment full of desperate and hungry people a dangerous environment. Perhaps, the most dangerous.

Jesus: From Palestine to Ancient India & Back Again

 

Jesus: From Palestine to Ancient India & Back Again 

Written by Alberta Parish

Hell Is Full of False Prophets & Cult Leaders 

As a Christian, I have studied the history of Christianity. I also know that Hinduism preceded Judaism and modern-day Christianity. Islam is an offspring of Christianity, and the Qur'an is a borrowed version of the Septuagint, the Greek New Testament, and the Hebrew translations of the Old Testament, which include the Torah/Tanakh. In the book called The Lost Years of Jesus, Elizabeth Clare Prophet wrote that Brahman priests kept records about Saint Issa also known as Jesus/Yeshua whom they wrote two thousand years ago had traveled from Jerusalem to the Orient (India). Prophet said that in 1887, a Russian journalist named Nicolas Notovitch discovered ancient scrolls documenting the life of Saint Issa at the Himis monastery in Ladakh. These records talk about the missing years of Jesus between the age of 13 and 29, and those years Jesus spent in India is where he also studied with the Brahman priests who taught him to read and understand the Vedas, (which are ancient Hindu religious texts), and to teach, heal, and perform exorcisms. Prophet wrote that Jesus was also part of a group called the Sudras, which were those of the lower caste who was preaching against the Brahmans. According to Prophet, Yeshua was sent by the Essene scholarship body in Israel to study under the Noble Brahmans of the Indian subcontinent. Based on the ancient records of the Brahman priests, discovered by Nicolas Notovitch in 1887 at the Himis monastery and other eyewitness accounts of Jesus' pilgrimage from Jerusalem to India, Jesus spent 17 years in the Indus Valley, as both student and teacher. This is why the synoptic gospels and the Gospel of John doesn't record his life beyond the age of 12 because he allegedly departed for India at age 13. He returns to Palestine around age 29 when it is then recorded in Matthew that his cousin John baptized him in the River Jordan.

In 1890, Russian traveler, Nicolas Notovitch, published his translation of the Buddhist legend in his book, The Unknown Life of Jesus. Records of Jesus' missing years also exist in Tibet amongst the lamas.

As a Christian, a non-Christian should not know more than you about the history of Christianity including that of Universal Catholicism and Protestantism. 

It is incumbent upon every believer in Christ to be able to give an answer to the skeptic and nonbeliever. Many souls have been turned into Hell because of false teachers, false prophets, and cult leaders. Christians are purposely being led astray by not only wolves in sheep's clothing but by cult leaders teaching heresies, and denying the physical existence and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 

Peter says, "Save yourselves from this untoward generation."

The Spirit of Antichrist 

In this modern technological era, many who think themselves wise must become fools. The spirit of antichrist—already on the land—walks among the skeptic and nonbeliever. The Bible says that there are many antichrists on the land, and who is an antichrist? One who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh; one who deny both the Father and the Son.

In the seventeen missing years of Jesus from the canonical New Testament, the young man is alleged to have passed his time in the Indus Valley and the Himalayas, as both student and teacher, while also spreading the Word of His Father. Then, upon returning to Palestine around age 29, he began his ministry. He healed the sick, cleansed the lepers, performed many miracles, and raised the dead. But Pilate seeing him as a seditionist and a possible insurrectionist who could overthrow Rome's government in Palestine, he sought to destroy him. Christ was crucified and, according to Prophet's The 'Lost Years' of Jesus, he was raised from the dead, and was seen in Palestine by many. 

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto his servant John who bare record of the Word of God, and of all things he saw, was stranded on the Isle of Patmos for the Word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ, and penned the letters to the seven churches in Asia. John wrote to the leaders of the seven churches, revealing all that he had seen and was unveiled to him concerning the churches. 

According to John, there will also be a man—the beast—who would come into the world in the latter days, and take the place of the true Christ, and demand the whole world worship him and receive his "mark" in their right hand or in their foreheads, and that no man/woman would be able to buy or sell unless he/she had the mark of the beast, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name in their right hands or in their foreheads (Revelation 13:4-18).

Since many Watchers have already deduced that the Antichrist is already in the world, there could only be one prophetic revealing left and, that is, the Antichrist making a Seven-Year Peace Covenant in the Middle East, with the State of Israel, according to the Book of the Prophet Daniel. Daniel Chapter 9 and Verse 27 (NASB) says that "he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."

Jesus' End Times prophecies (from St. Matthew) also deduces that the Abomination of Desolation will stand in the holy place, which will mark a time of great tribulation.

Listening to the haters of God and his people won't make these prophetic sayings any less important or any less real. It is time to open your eyes, and start thinking for yourself and look around at what's happening before your very eyes, so you can save yourselves from hell fire and stop listening to religious skeptics and antichrists that permeate the earth, as they offer you nothing except death, destruction, and hell.
