Free Blue Bell Wednesday Published Monday, July 29, 2024 OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER 800 Nazih Zuhdi Drive, OKC, OK THIS WEDNESDAY The history of Ricky Dickson’s career as CEO of the Blue Bell Creameries reveals one of the most severe of storms to assault a corporation. Nine years ago, on April 20, 2015, Blue Bell Creameries shut down all three manufacturing plants and issued a nationwide recall on all their products. Ricky Dickson was then the Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Over eight million gallons of ice cream was destroyed. Furloughs and layoffs followed. It was an hour of darkness which was overcome by trust in the divine hand of providence. Hear first hand the highs and lows and the principles which restored the company and elevated it to an even higher plane. Over-the-top safety features and over-the-top sales growth. ___________ Ricky's book will be on sale for $22.99 and he will autograph them for you before and after the meeting. His book, One Scoop at a Time, is centered on turning fear into faith. It is the heart and soul of the roadmap leading to peace in the midst of a yet-to-be resolved storm!

Marie Antoinette’s beheading, a part of that revolution, was a main feature. It celebrated Robespierre’s reign of murderous terror and sexual debauchery. During the opening ceremony, on the river Seine (the French pronunciation is sin), a performer dressed as a decapitated Marie Antoinette popped up on screen to sing an execution ballad made popular during the revolution's Reign of Terror. Many such beheaded performers were featured as a prominent theme of the festivities. They are too repulsive to include in this newsletter. You may "Google" the images. The Olympics, representing the nations of the world, was once a centerpiece for national unity and dignity. This international affair was opened last Friday night, July 26, on the river Seine in Paris by a presentation disgracing Christianity through its pronounced sexual perversions with unimaginable contempt for the standards which built the West. Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper of Christ was sexualized and desecrated. The memory of Sodom and Gomorrah was emphasized by the smoke which billowed from the windows. These scenes are reminiscent of the Christless darkness which has engulfed large areas of the world over the span of more than a century. The Olympics last week celebrated decades of efforts to remove religion from the face of the earth. Its replacement is sexual hedonism. See comments from the Wall Street Journal, the Denver Gazette, and the Catholic Church. The Paris Olympics have accentuated the fact that the twenty-first century’s opening quarter is a continuation of the twentieth century’s dark age. It is a darkness which comes from the disconnection of Christianity from the affairs of state. So dark, last week the nations of the world celebrated the more than 15,000 Frenchmen (Marie Antoinette included) who were victims of a violent Reign of Terror as the world’s Olympics opened. The carnage of the last century came from governments which separated religion and church from both the state and its schools. Lenin’s 1918 Constitution of Soviet Russia, in the thirteenth provision (Article Two, Chapter Five) separated both the state and education from the church. Lenin’s atheistic paradigm now dominates the classrooms of American school. WE ARE COMMITTING NATIONAL SUICIDE! In these two centuries, thanks to the separation of church and state, well over 100 million citizens were slaughtered by their own government. The Foundation touched upon this in our May 8, 2023 edition here. Lenin murdered over eight million of his own citizens. It is what governments untethered to Christianity do. Overall, 160 million people died in the last century by democide. In all cases (Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and many others) these murders were committed by governments not bound to Christianity. The voices of Oklahoma’s political left promote Lenin’s removal of religion from all influence over the state and education. I’ve heard them quote with passion the separation of church and state element of Lenin’s constitution at the monthly meetings of Oklahoma’s State Board of Education. Christian Karl Josias Bunsen (1791-1860), Christian scholar and philosopher of Germany in his Philosophy of Human History wrote: The noblest nations have ever believed in an immutable moral order of the world, constituted by divine wisdom and regulating the destinies of mankind. The truly philosophical historian must believe that there is an eternal order in the government of the world, to which all might and poser are to become and do become subservient; that truth, justice, wisdom, and moderation are sure to triumph; and that when the contrary appears to the case, the fault lies in our mistaking the middle for the end. There must be a solution to every complication, as certainly that a dissidence cannot form the conclusion of a musical composition. In other words, the philosopher who will understand and interpret history must believe that God, not accident, governs the world. Our founders had the advantage of ministers who understood that their responsibilities extended beyond the pulpits to the government as well. Rev Thomas Reese, graduate of Princeton and a presbyterian minister, in 1788, wrote this about the fundamental importance of our national identity being tied to the adherence to Christianity: Morality, independent of religion, never existed. ____________ "To be antagonistic toward God is to be antagonistic toward the foundation of the freedoms enshrined in our Constitution." ~Tulsi Gabbard, For Love of Country SEND THIS NEWSLETTER TO A FRIEND HERE.
