OPEN HEART CLOSED CASE - WEED OUT THE HATE - 

In Chicago, Charleston, Baltimore, San Bernardino, the Middle East, Nigeria ( and Africa in general) and Connecticut God is being put on the back burner to self interest, Loved is being overtaken by hate. Law enforcement itself is being polarized within and without.

 

We need to move as soon as possible  using academics as a base for clergy and laity to find a way to move self interest to the back burner and move God to preeminence once again. We are trying to organize such a meeting at Dominican University.

 

I would like to see the following three initiatives introduced at this broader meeting in Dominican University.  

 

1. We am initiating an effort to get licensed private detectives to offer 20 hours of free services over two months to help local law enforcement look at Murder, Missing Person, and Exploited Child cases. I have 45 detectives with law enforcement experience (retired) signed up. Cases are underway in Gig Harbor Washington and in DC so far.

 

2. We am promoting the Cold Case Open Heart initiative and declaring Interfaith and Racial Harmony Month nationwide in March. 

 

 

3, We also want to support The Weed out the Hate initiative.

 

The Weed Out Hate Initiative

What is it?

The Weed Out Hate Initiative is a campaign that engages children and adults to relate rooting out and composting garden weeds to weeding out the hatred that fuels school bullying, racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophia, and global terror.

What is behind it?

After visiting the Dachau Concentration Camp grounds for the very first time, I became inspired to relate the deepest roots of my own Jewish heritage, the Wisdom of Kabbalah, with the modern day cultural gardening rituals. I came to the conclusion that the 19^th century German pedagogues were on the right track with their kindergarten concept i.e.- conditioning kids attitudes through gardening for peace.

Sunflower Peace Seeds

These sunflower seed packs give instructions of kids can engage in social inclusion gardening games by choosing partners of different ethnicities and religions for grasping upon weeds of hatred together and replenishing the earth with sunflower seeds of peace.  This started as an anti-bullying campaign.

Weed Out Hate to Root Out Racist Social Divides

When the demonstrations broke out after the death of Mike Brown, I visited Ferguson and weeded out hate with dozens of local residents and residents, while handing out hundreds of peace seed packs.

Weeding Out Hate in Germany

In May of 2014, U.S. Ambassador Philip Murphy  to Germany integrated Weed Out Hate in their We Have A Dream program, for commemorating the 50^th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream Speech.  In September of 2015, I delivered a Weed Out Hate tribute Dr. King’s visit to East Berlin in 1964.

Weed Out Hate Goes Political

I have been challenging Donald Trump and will be challenging the rest of the serious candidates to stage of Central Park event  in which 100,000 Hispanics, Blacks, Whites, Asians, Christians, Jews, and Muslims weed out the hate behind bullying, racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophophia and global terror.

I am requesting the help of the press and media to publicize the Weed Out Hate Initiative and its noble objectives to press the candidates.
