The faith based, corporate, partisan-political lobby organization known as the Hamilton-Wenham Human Rights Coalition, is now waging a full-on “Culture War” in Hamilton according to the Cult Leader, Anna Voldemort, in a recent interview in the Salem News (Thursday April 6th). Cult Leader Anna Voldemort says she and her Coalition are waging war against Hamilton for trying to actively roll back the rights of humans. The Cult Leader calls those of us who have the highest expectations for HWHRC, “racists” and “bigots” at the same time they coddle and protect the racist and bigoted Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary from legitimate criticism.
According to Joshua Eaton’s headline, written last fall…..”SEMINARY’S RACISM DEEPER THAN BLACK PROFESSOR’S LAYOFF, STUDENTS SAY”
The HWHRC hypocrisy is serious, and outrageous, and it destroys their credibility as honest brokers – because they are anything but…..and in addition to the Seminary, some HWHRC Board and regular members have signed their signatures as affirmation of anti-gay documents – as a condition of receiving monies from being employed by Gordon College. Many Cult Leader followers are also guilty of signing these anti-gay documents for cash/money/bread. Their purpose in this Culture War is to divide the community at any cost – in order to gain power and influence unto themselves using fear and name-calling.
The Coalition Cult Leader even made sure that the December winter holiday Covid Test Kits were taken without authority, and disbursed – by an unauthorized, faith-based, group or groups – to Wenham, Topsfield, and Essex. Older and highly vulnerable Hamilton residents were excluded from accessing these hard-to-find-kits because the faith-based Cult Leader Anna Voldemort explained that the seniors were too wealthy (the HWHRC said Hamilton seniors live in big houses with spare bedrooms, and they have lots of land, and some even drive Land Rovers, too!) and therefore were not entitled to have access to their own tests, according to the Cult Leader who took charge of the test kits. Even though December test kits were not readily available from retailers to anyone at any price, the seniors in Hamilton who needed the test kits for the holidays were instead removed from having access to their own kits. No kits for senior citizens during the busy holiday visitor and travel season, and that means seniors were put at risk for no good reason. This was done without any authority, so in essence, they were stolen from the Town. What Town resources will go missing next?
Did the low-income but healthy young students at Gordon Conwell get their test kits????! I would like to know more…it’s the height of hypocrisy that Coalition leaders are quick to call people racists and bigots because they spoke up to include people like me: women and atheists excluded from protected class status in the Hamilton Human Right Commission policy. Although the Commission and the Coalition are different entities, they share the same hateful leaders and spokespeople, and the blatant hypocrisy of all these self righteous zealots is staggering…..
