Be Careful How You Speak

President Joe Biden, apparently is growing weary, of all of the negative criticism. That he has been receiving from people. Could it be true that anyone who criticisms him could be in jeopardy of losing his/hers job? If they work for a governmental agency that is directly affiliated with The Department of Social and Health Services better known as DSHS? When I was in my teens, in the late 1960's, my family lived in a housing project in North King County. The low-income housing project Balinger Homes, boarded a city in Snohomish County, Mountlake Terrace. My mother, Eleanor May Dubarry was employed by western Industries. Western Industries once held the consignment for the Boeing Cafeteria. My mother was employed as a sand which wrapper by them during their grave yard shift. Because she had a job, DSHS approached her and asked her to be one of their spies! They wanted her to spy on her neighbors, who were their clients. To make sure that they were not in violation of any of their regulations. My mother told them her answer was no! She already had bad enough trouble with her neighbors! Extra trouble like that she did not need! Although our family could have used the extra money that they promised her! She did the right thing by turning down their blood money! DSHS probably has its very own under cover spy net-work also in Snohomish County? Any one who is affiliated with them probably hast to walk on egg shells? In order to keep his/ her employment? The same probably holds true for their clients as well? This time it is the virus's fault! This gives them a viable reason to tighten their spy network? People have reported actually being spied upon by DSHS undercover agents? They spy upon their employees and their clients? This applies to any governmental agency affiliated with them? They are right, of course, this virus is spreading just like California's wild fire seasons! The ends always justify the means! Will their spy system end with the ending of the virus? Do not hold your breath! I do not work for DSHS! I will pray for their clients and all their connected agencies! When Ronald Regan was president, a man mentioned casually in a bar. "Ronald Regan should be taken out and shot!" It was a common enough expression that nobody took seriously except the USA's government. He was arrested for threatening the president. Somebody actually did try to assassinate him and he almost died! Roxanne Lea Dubarry Roxy Lea/ October Country January 24, 2022
