Dear Reader:

Preface.

Suck is gone mad – touched mad – deleting posts throughout Faceplop, anything that presents ideology that he opposes.

Notice on posts at my Faceplop page that Suck deleted the URL links and posts that reference to my Faceplop page:

**
This content isn’t available right now
When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.
**

**
Page not found. 
The page you requested was not found.
**

Here are today’s Faceplop Memories of this date at prior years, with selected narrative.

Fear not, Dear Reader.  I continue posting current original compositions – I have countless ideas about topics that I have never discussed here or not commented in depth.  Posting these recent ‘Memories’ allows me to catch up to what past essays I missed posting here concurrent with Faceplop posts.

 – Sharon

The Trump movement has created an epidemic of fanatically self-righteous cheaters, liars and grifters
Jeremy Sherman, AlterNet
June 12, 2018, 1:43 PM ET

Here in the US, we’re suffering an epidemic of dishonest fake belief, promoted by the people who took over the conservative party. Just call yourself a Christian, a patriot, a True American and you can get away with anything. All the perks, none of the costs of actually behaving in accord with any kind of disciplined lifestyle ­– license to indulge from the moral high ground. Trump takes it to a new level.

Trump plays classic Western god – self-obsessed, petty, petulant, disappointed, vengeful, cliquish, devoted solely to building his fan club, chronically bitter about being under-appreciated. And most of his followers are typical dishonest fake believers. They love him because they want to be like him. Trump teaches that earning respect by being honest isn’t the only way. Fellow liars will respect you if you lie and always get away with it.

With dishonest false belief you get to swagger like the moral police without living by your proclaimed moral standards. You can claim the piety even as you cheat, lie and steal.

It’s a win-win for the false believer. Your supreme piety rationalizes acting like a pig. You’re free to cheat because you’re fighting on the side of the righteous. You feel both righteous and clever, saintly and sneaky. Smart because you embrace true virtue; smart because you know how to fight dirtier than your dumb opponents.

It’s more tawdry even than the 9-11 fundamentalists drinking and whoring before they suicide bombed the Twin Towers. As Susan Sontag dared to comment right after the bombing, it’s no good calling suicide bombers cowards. They made sacrifices. That’s a costly signal one can’t fake. Dishonest false belief is a better bargain than that.

In sum, three categories for fanatics:

True believers who really try to live by their principles.

Dishonest false believers who don’t try to live by their principles but pretend that they do.

Honest false believers who don’t try to live by their principles and admit it, not taking their beliefs seriously, while still going through the motions for ritualistic sake.

Dawn Farnham.

Another flip of political parties.

The Democratic Dixiecrats continued the ideology of the Confederacy – White supremacy – as presented by their foundation documents:

– Declaration of Independence of the Confederate States of Amerika

– Cornerstone Document

– Constitution of the Confederate States of Amerika.

These platforms are now the Republi-con Party ideology while the Democratic Party represents Freedom and Equality, fights against discrimination and bigotry, supports Voting Rights, Civil Rights, Constitutional Rights, Human Rights.

Doing Internet searches is quite interesting. I can start by looking for one thing and soon look for something else.

So it was Tuesday night.

My friend and I were chatting about Trans airline pilots. I remembered Karen, one of my contemporaries. We never met. I saw her frequenting the 1980s TV interview circuit with a few other Trans persons willing to go public about their private lives.

Karen’s airline fired her because she Transitioned – same as my situation at about the same time (early 1980s). She fared better than me; though she lost her case at the US Supreme Court, her employer eventually settled.

Karen led the way for Trans pilots.

If I could have had a lawyer, that lawyer would have known her case and likely my results would have been totally different. Maybe both of our cases could have been joined together and we would have both done better.

But no lawyer accepted me. I had to fight for my Unemployment Insurance on my own when Forest Service objected. I won my case at the Utah State Supreme Court – they ruled that Forest Service conducted six years of a hostile work environment against me.

Karen died a few years later – 1989, about the same time as Billy Tipton, Christine Jorgensen, and my father.

(https://www.revolvy.com/page/Karen-Ulane?cr=1)

I went to ‘Images’ to make screen prints of whatever might be available about Karen. OMG – there is a picture of Denise among pictures of Karen. Some special force in the Cosmos is telling me to go search Denise (my mentor from the early 1970s). I found an article back in maybe 2015 that reported her death, but that article didn’t seem credible, so I hadn’t checked since then. After a few whirlwind years of publicity, Denise went private. I uphold her privacy.

I was sharing a memory about Denise with my friend. I told her how I travelled out of town. My thought seeing Faith was ‘Small world, eh?’ and instead I met someone who would become my mentor. Thus, I met Denise quite by accident when I mistook that she was Faith, one of my high school class-mates.

There I was – searching for Faith on the Internet. Instead of finding her picture, I found her obituary.

Next, I landed at my high school where I attended 12th Grade. I found too many more names of class-mates and school-mates at the school’s obituary page.

I enrolled in my high school’s Facebook page and posted an introduction.

*

Up-date (12 Jun 2019):

This up-date is for me, for the record. It really does not belong with this article about Karen, her Pioneer status, and today’s Trans airline pilots. I shall likely move this segment to its own post at some future date.

I went to check on my post to the high school Facebook page. Wow – several comments, several ‘Like’.

So it begins …

Keith was one of my class-mates who knew me during 12th Grade.

Keith wrote a comment – he wrote that that he remembers me.

Uh-oh!

Which me? Nick? Sharon? Or does he think that Nick was Sharon? Not Nick? My ‘then’ picture is Nick, not Sharon. My current picture is Sharon, not Nick.

I decided to browse his Facebook page to see where he is. Most students were military children whose parents worked at the military base.

He speaks on some pages. His voice is as I remember it.

Nope! That was as far as the positive goes.

I certainly knew going in that I would find possible danger.

He’s Republi-con and Christian Con-servative. Right from the beginning. He has an article supporting a Right-wing Republi-con Christian Con-servative. Someone whose political agenda is the total demise of LGBT.

Not one sign of rainbows or unicorns. No LGBT colors. No Trans colors.

There’s a post about his support for Chick-fil-A. To be fair, it is about good customer service. To be critical, I doubt that Chick would do the same for an LGBT customer.

Keith can browse my Facebook page as easily as I read his.

I shall let him decide what he wants to do after he sees my Facebook page.

I graduated from a Baptist university. It has been a Baptist university for all its years.

When I attended two decades ago, there was little push about religion at class, among students, with the faculty and administrators. Many students were not Baptist, so Baptist people were ‘live and let live’ toward non Baptist and non Christian back then.

I had a good two years there even though their policy was openly opposed to LGBT – no LGBT students, no LGBT teachers, no LGBT administration. No LGBT on campus. Yet not once did anyone at university ever question me. I have no recollection that any one at any time ever said any thing derogatory about LGBT the entire time I attended as a student, came on campus as a community member.

I recently read that the university is now an open and welcoming campus for LGBT.

I was always respectful toward the university people – Baptist or not. Being deep stealth, I was certainly not going to out my presence to anyone; I still don’t.

Keith would know about the university – know that it’s Baptist. Dunno if he thinks that I am Baptist.

Huh?

I went away for a while. I went to browse the Buena page where I posted.

There is Ronda’s entry in my Notifications. When I tap it – blank screen, nothing.

Or?

– Is it there but that it does not show on my connection?

– Is my page is loading different?

It was good that I made a screen print of the comments to my post.

The comment from Ronda with my reply, Keith’s reply that he remembers me, and my reply to Keith’s comment earlier this afternoon about our shared experiences – it’s gone. Deleted. That entire group of comments are gone from my post, from my view.

Keith removed his ‘Like’ from the post.

Did Ronda and Keith browse my Facebook page? Were they NOT amused?

At least my post remains – for now. For how long?

Meanwhile, I found a series of Keith’s comments from another post. Keith misses his brother’s death by a year. Robert died February 1977.

I went to Keith’s Recent Activity page at the school’s page. There was an entry in Recent Activity for the missing thread. As I was about to make a screen print – it disappeared.

I located Ronda’s actual Facebook page. Ronda – maybe a troll – not much to her About page nor her Timeline page.

I sent a text message to the school moderator asking what happened and why the series of comments are deleted.

I went to look at my post at the high school page a few more hours later. Those comments are still missing. More people are checking ‘Like’ – the count is more than 30.

I am having second thoughts. I made a big boo-boo. Maybe I should have just posted my current picture, should not have posted my ‘then’ picture from my graduation. I am Nick in my ‘then’ picture and now there’s Sharon in my current picture – that attracted the wrong attention. Lesson learned.

Okay. Gonna admit that I am making presumptions that might mean nothing at all. Kick me in the shins for this.

Lesson learned about Keith. I didn’t have any expectations from him. I hadn’t even thought about him – I could not remember his name. To me, he demonstrated what his religion does for him – hate. He was okay about me til he probably came to my page, read my essays, and decided that I am not his idea of whomever he might have presumed to be.

Then the obvious hit me. My current icon is the Kiera Butterfly in the Trans blue, pink, and white. Sheesh! I’m denser than anyone to have missed that.

I suppose that I am coming from knowing the Trans blue – pink – white butterfly. I am supposing that a Christian Con-servative would know. They know who we are, they are posting about killing us all.

Here I am adding this update. That is essentially for me alone, for the record. I don’t expect that people return to any of these posts once they read it. I also plan to post this experience to my web-site. That draws a likely different audience – people who occasionally browse old essays when they read the new essays. That I know because I check my statistics page. I am regularly amazed when I see that someone read an essay from the past. Thank you, Dear Reader.

Here’s this article:

Karen Ulane

Crash Kills Sex-Changed Combat Pilot Karen Ulane
From Associated Press

Karen Ulane, a decorated Vietnam combat pilot who was fired by Eastern Airlines after a sex-change operation in 1980, was killed in the crash of a World War II-vintage charter plane. She was 48.

Ulane, known until her surgery as Kenneth Ulane, was at the controls when the twin-propeller DC-3 owned by an air taxi and cargo service crashed and burned in a field near here Monday. Two others aboard were killed.

Ulane had a sex-change operation and hormone treatments in 1980 after 12 years with Eastern. The airline fired her, citing possible safety hazards in stressful situations. U.S. District Judge John F. Grady ordered reinstatement and $158,590 in back pay and other expenses in 1983. An appeals court disagreed and reversed the decision, and the U.S. Supreme Court in 1985 let the appellate ruling stand.

Ulane eventually received a settlement from Eastern that was “substantially more” than the amount ordered by Grady, said her attorney, Dean Dickie.

Survivors include a son from a marriage while she was Kenneth Ulane.

Here’s another article:

Karen Frances Ulane (December 10, 1941 – May 22, 1989) was an American airline pilot who was dismissed by Eastern Airlines after undergoing sex reassignment surgery in 1980.[1] The case Ulane v. Eastern Airlines became the federal legal precedent for transsexual legal status under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.[2]

Life and career

Ulane was born in Chicago, Illinois and graduated from St. Ignatius College Prep. Ulane joined the United States Army and flew combat missions in the Vietnam War from 1964 to 1968, then became a pilot for Eastern Airlines.[2] Following employment with Eastern Airlines, Ulane transitioned from Kenneth to Karen Frances in April 1980.[3]

T.R. Buttion, the Senior Vice President of Flight Operations presented her with a letter of termination on April 24, 1981 that read, “It is our belief that the controversial nature of the operation you have undergone will detract from and prevent any flight crew of which you are a part of from operating in the integrated, coordinated fashion that is necessary to attain the highest degree of safety.” The letter also noted that other Eastern pilots would refuse to fly with her.[4]

Ulane filed a discrimination charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission which resulted in the civil case, Ulane v. Eastern Airlines. In her case against Eastern Airlines, Ulane reported coping with gender dysphoria from the age of 5 or 6.[3] Although she won the case against Eastern,[5] it was overturned on appeal the in U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.[2][6][7]

Ulane died in the crash of a chartered DC-3 she was piloting on a training flight, approximately five miles southwest of DeKalb, Illinois on May 22, 1989. Two others also died in the crash.[8][9]

PILOTS KILLED IN CRASH MOURNED
Joseph SjostromCHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Aurora Municipal Airport`s American flag is at half-staff in honor of three aviators with strong personal and professional links to the airport who died in the crash of a DC-3 airplane on Monday.

Those killed were Paul Killman, 56, of Aurora, chairman of the airport`s advisory board since October and a board member since 1981; Karen Ulane, 48, of Aurora, a decorated military pilot, a board member and a pilot for the charter firm that owned the DC-3; and Arthur Lutz, 72, a ”pilot`s pilot” who had been flying since World War II and who was also a pilot for the DC-3`s owner.

”Paul and Karen were the two most unselfish people I ever met,” said Robert A. Rieser, director of the airport, which is owned by the City of Aurora.

Rieser and others were perplexed about the crash`s cause. Who was piloting the aircraft when it crashed is not known, but Lutz had thousands of hours of experience flying DC-3s and Ulane also was qualified in the DC-3. The airplane itself had recently undergone extensive renovation and recertification by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Killman was along for the ride.

”You couldn`t keep him out of an airplane,” Rieser said.

”Lutz was one of the best pilots, and he was flying one of the best airplanes,” said Ernest Kobrow, a part-owner of Condor Enterprises Inc., based in the Aurora airport. Condor Enterprises recently was certified by the FAA to use the renovated DC-3 for charter flights.

The DC-3 that crashed Monday was on a checkout flight before a charter, Kobrow said. It hit the ground and exploded in a field about five miles south of De Kalb about a half-hour after taking off from Aurora.

Ulane, a native of Chicago`s Bridgeport neighborhood, learned to fly in 1959. Then known as Kenneth, Ulane flew combat missions for the Army in Vietnam, earning the Air Medal of Honor.

Ulane was later a pilot for Eastern Airlines, rising to the rank of first officer and flight instructor, before taking a leave in 1979 for a sex-change operation and changing her name to Karen.

Eastern fired her, citing possible safety hazards, but Ulane filed suit in federal court and briefly won reinstatement and back pay. An appeals court reversed her victory, and the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the reversal to stand.

Since leaving Eastern, she had piloted planes for charter firms at the Aurora airfield and operated several businesses, including a flower shop in Wheaton and an aviation equipment business in Aurora, Rieser said.

She was building her own airplane, a single-engine GP-4, out of wood and fiberglass.

Killman was also building his own airplane, a bi-winged acrobatic aircraft, and was finished except for the engine and instruments, Rieser said. Killman, a retired AT&T supervisor, was converting a small boat drydocked on the airport grounds to use as a charter fishing boat.

”Sometimes I`d see him just sitting on the boat, watching the world go by with his aircraft radio on,” Rieser said.

Lutz, a pilot in World War II, later worked for major airlines piloting various aircraft, including jumbo jets, Kobrow said. He had accumulated 30,000 hours of flying time.

Services for Lutz will be held at 11 a.m. Friday in St. Michael`s Episcopal Church, 647 Dundee Ave., Barrington.

Graveside services for Killman will be held at 3 p.m. Friday in the New Rosehill Cemetery, in Downstate Marion.

Mass for Ulane will be said at 10 a.m. Saturday in St. Mary of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 1039 W. 32d St., Chicago.

‘Pure Evil’: Report On Trump Administration Draining Fund For FDNY’s 9/11 Responders Draws Outrage

TOPLINE A New York Daily News scoop published Thursday revealed that the Trump administration has siphoned around $4 million from the New York City Fire Department’s fund for its September 11 first responders, drawing outrage on the 19th anniversary of the attacks, but the U.S. Treasury says the money was diverted because of “delinquent debt” owed by New York City to the federal government.

KEY FACTS

The funds are part of the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program, which was established by the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010, a bill passed by Congress that provides healthcare to first responders who have suffered a range of illnesses from exposure to dust and smoke at Ground Zero.

“TRUMP DOESN’T ONLY HATE VETERANS, HE HATES FIRST RESPONDER HEROES,” tweeted actress Debra Messing in reaction to the Daily News report.

Fred Guttenberg, father of Parkland school shooting victim Jamie Guttenberg, said he was “F—KING P⁠—-ED” about the report, because his brother died of cancer from 9/11.

“From the administration whose identity is built on claims of honoring first responders,” Julie Cohen, director of the RBG documentary, wrote on Twitter.

“This doesn’t surprise me at all,” Army veteran and advocate Paul Rieckoff wrote on Twitter. “Trump did NOTHING to push for the extension of #Zadroga last year.”

“We are also working with Congressman King and others to examine any potential authorities to provide relief in this case to support our nation’s 9/11 heroes,” the Treasury spokesperson. told Forbes, but could not provide any examples of how they would do it, and did not have a timeline.

CRUCIAL QUOTE

“Here we have sick World Trade Center-exposed firefighters and EMS workers, at a time when the city is having difficult financial circumstances due to COVID-19, and we’re not getting the money we need to be able to treat these heroes,” FDNY Chief Medical Officer David Prezant told the Daily News. 

CHIEF CRITIC 

“Pure evil,” tweeted Dr. Dena Grayson, a medical expert who specializes in ebola and other viruses.
