The mediocre and the not-so-serious want a little fun. They want to find a
slogan that makes their juices flow, their stomachs jiggle and their heads spin.
Nothing surprises nor shocks them when it comes to human evil. They just
want to have fun. They have seen it all, I do mean all, and they don't know
why others are so paralyzed with fear. (yawn)
So what if pharmaceuticals are creating software technology to manufacture
drugs with the use of genetic material. Ooh. Soon designer drugs will be able
to change your birth right characteristics. Watch out plastic surgeons and
diet programs. Soon compulsive eating, drinking, smoking, fucking and all
other acts of self-destruction will be profitable for a few patented drugs with
a few pharmaceuticals. Oh, excuse the language.
Fern has never had problems with addiction. Many of her compadres have
no problems with addiction despite the weight of responsibility for many lives,
despite their own trauma and loss and despite all unfairness found in society.
The wah-wah's of society want you to know that their problems are worse
and more important than anyone else's. Yeah, right.
Healing is a subjective process. I say dignity is the only means to healing in
modern society where constitutional rights have provided us the means to
explore the ineffabable and the unknown. Dignity lies in acknowledgment of
truth about who we are, what we do and how others are impacted by this on
a daily level when we are in a position of power. How can anyone live while
undermining the dignity of others? Well, it's about character, ain't it?
Fern wants you to know that those who have known her and obsessed about
her are those who never asked enough questions about who she is, how she
lived, never took the time to find out in a process that acknowledged that she
has her own journey, her own priorities, her own needs and her own right to
say "no" anytime, to anyone under any circumstances in defense of her dignity.
If you must know, Yukie Yamada has worked as professional and volunteer
for many years with at-risk populations. She has concluded that this job should
be done by others after her work with violence facilitation, diversity and diversity/
workplace productivity training, applied movement education, HIV prevention
training, women's health education and critical care nursing.
She has refused to license herself in the State of Hawaii since 2006 after having
documented and verified fraud, waste and abuse in all practicing areas for a
number or years as an employee and independent contractor. Your hair would
stand on end knowing how blatant and prevalent these activities are in Hawaii.
As for working with those prone to narrow diagnosis, she worked a few months
with male junvenile sex offenders in a certifiable program that integrated 5 different
models in dealing with reducing sexual violence. It is claimed that while most inmates
continue in criminal activities, they do not return to sexual violence. This model is
the taxpayer's option to a very expensive incarceration and recidivism.
Those who qualified filled a specific profile that included drug addiction, learning
disabilities, sexual offender status, and other types of indicators used by program
managers to find the most specific and tailored treatment for this group.
On a daily level, male participants who lived in a partial incarceration setting, were
required to ask verbal permission with any request to any staff such as getting a
drink of water, walking from one room to another, going to the bathroom and when
they wanted to approach the desk area for information. They had individual and
group sessions that articulated the specific means of committing sexual violence
as a predator. For example, "I used deception, manipulation, coercion and group
pressure" to force my victim "so-and-so" into sexual activity.
This repeated formula was matched with thinking process exercises that taught
them to identify when they felt bodily or emotionally at stress,with written and
documented progress of their personal awareness. They also made taped state-
ments of deviant sexual fantasy accompanied by breaking ammonia vials open on
their own to de-condition themselves. This two-year program was contradictory
in nearby suburban neighborhoods, as you can imagine.
I left this position after 3 months with a hand-written statement to the manager
about incidents that indicated risk and the potential for a break-out. The capacity
for 10 males included a multi-level administration staff with all forms of counseling
and included a special education instructor for half-day school courses. The daily
staff on the weekends included a nurse site manager and only two large male mental
health technicians who worked about 80 hours/week at two jobs to sustain a livable
salary for their families. It is a very expensive program justified because the prisons
in Hawaii are so full that inmates are being "boarded" in Mainland prison industrial
complex facilities.
Yukie has interest in working with plants and information with animals as friends
in the future. Her work in holding officials accountable for corruption is her favorite
activity these days after having been victimized by systems who do not value the
service and commitment of those who do the most important jobs to maintain the
collective spirit and safety of our drug-laden communities.
Yukie sent a series of comprehensive complaints to the Government Accountability
Fraud Office regarding such practices, including her own experiences with criminal
abuse in health systems, since 2007. The GAO Fraud Office likely knows that Hawaii's
HUD Office is already being investigated for insider trading for their "secret little" grant
network. Their DHS, DOH and DOE Offices have been under scrutiny for their Consumer
Directed Personal Programs for severe, pervasive abuses and violations, including violations
against service providers who went over and beyond to report risks, threats and crimes.
