The (Benyon) Family - Brighton Massachusetts - Auburndale Mansion - 1872 - Artist George Henry Story


The Family - by George Henry Story
(Public Domain)


The great 19th century successful American Middle Class grand family portrait painting – “The Family” by Artist George Henry Story is said to be of the Boston banker Abner Ingalls Benyon's family, and said to be painted in 1872 in the Benyon Mansion in Auburndale Massachusetts.

Public records show the Benyon family situated in Brighton Mass. where all their children were born.

The year 1872 seems to be highpoint in Abner Ingalls Benyon’s banking career with a listing at the National Exchange Bank as both president and a director in 1872, having working his way up through the ranks first as a Paying Teller in 1856 at this same bank and along the way working as a Cashier, next step up in the banking business, in 1862 at the Brighton Market Bank in Brighton Mass..

The year 1872 saw Abner Benyon named as Vice President of a new Homoeopathic Medical School also operating as the Medical Department of Boston College. This alongside his other duties as one time Treasurer and long term Trustee of same college / university 1872-1883.

Abner Benyon, with a middle name of Ingalls that matches a middle name of the brother in law of the artist, Hannibal Ingalls Kimball, the commission for the painting may have come through a family connection.

Mr. Benyon was all the talk of the east coast in 1882 when he quickly migrated to Canada and Mexico and back to Canada after indictments of embezzlement against him were about to be delivered on him in his then position as president of the Pacific National Bank Boston.

Abner Ingalls Benyon born 1832, died in Toronto in 1888 and is buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery Cambridge Mass..

Rick Warren Keeps Getting Fatter and Fatter

Rick Warren keeps getting fatter and fatter. His books sell millions. His opinion supposedly carries weight. President Casper Milquetoast was so afraid of the big man of religion that the big man of religion showed up in his very big clothes at Inauguration Day to invoke his god of success on himself and to the cameras.

Other than the 10,000 people who show up every week at his mega church in California, who does the good pastor serve except maybe a dozen tailors working overtime on his expanding waistline.

Warren does not serve humanity. The Jerry Falwell success model is based on money and power. Warren has the money. He is waiting for a Christian President, Sarah Palin(?) to anoint him in similar fashion as the emperor-god Reagan anointed Falwell to bring out the GOP vote on election day.

In the meantime, a bunch of anti-Jesus agenda freaks aka as The Family, the Doug Coe Family, have taken over the country of Uganda, with taxpayer money (something of a Charlie Wilson’s war scenario – but without a good ending).

Where is the MSM? In bed with Glenn and Rupert again? (naughty boys!)

The Family has talked the Ugandan’s out of condoms in favor of abstinence and prayers to Jeebus to cure HIV/AIDS there. The sales commission or bonuses on that inhumane bullshit from the Vatican must be in the tens of millions.

Chickenfeed when compared to a Purpose Driven African nation that can muster arms and god to conquer all of the extremely rich mineral rich territory of all of Africa in the purpose driven game plan of decades to come. Of course most of them, the Africans will be dead from HIV/AIDS, but isn’t that God’s will and not Goldman Sachs?

Rachel Maddow has now challenged Rick Warren to do more than a little mumble of his disapproval of the official Uganda Gay Hate Bill on her cable TV Show. Mumble on Rick - The mediocre, Jesus vomits out.

Maddow to Warren: Come on air to denounce anti-gay Uganda bill
Night after night, Maddow, who is gay, has been hammering conservative U.S. evangelical leaders and politicians for failing to speak out promptly, loudly and clearly against a bill in Uganda that would criminalize homosexuality.

After days of being blasted by name, a few politicians have now issued statements against the bill, just recently toned down from a life imprisonment and death penalty provisions to mere jail time for being actively gay -- or even knowing someone gay and failing to report them. (Imagine the chaos that would create for the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, apart from legitimizing hate.)

Earlier this week, Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life and leader of vast social action networks in Africa under his PEACE plan, issued his first specific denunciation of the legislation, days after initially saying he couldn't interfere in another nation's politics.
The Christian world, the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Family, the Jerry Falwell wannabes do not give one shit or damn about the people of Africa except to manipulate then or reinslave them in this new modern Goldman Sachs redesigned imperialism and colonialism.

The money changers are in charge of the churches and or the purpose averted mission of Jesus. They got there with permission of Goldman Sachs and other ruling world leaders. Is this the New World Order?

Obama, the congress, healthcare, climate control is all just some sideshow with all the cameras in Washington doing a daily soap opera.

The sooner that a greed monger like Museveni gets replaced by moderate, reasonable, humane leadership in Uganda and other African countries, the sooner that humanity can mature toward the true message of Jesus which is people first, state and religion second.

The gospel of Jesus is to make a better world. It is not to make your life more comfortable by letting the people you do not like or do not like you – be killed.

Killed because of the omission of your humanity. Killed because of your purpose averted humanity doctrine.

Playing God in Washington - - - or the Killing Fields of Uganda

-
There is an awful lot of ego in Washington D.C. but there does not seem to be a lot of soul.

Pathetic corporate Parasites like Joe Lieberman flourish in their own fertilizer factory patch of earth.

I have waited on this. I sometimes jump into the current MSM political malaise and add my comments. I write this blog for some regulars and the occasional reader who wanders in out of nowhere and usually goes back out there too and comes back again sometimes.

To comment on Huffington Post with a thousand other commentators is more like Black Friday everyday than once a year. I have to give it to Arianna. I remember when she started with books about mismanaged politics and greed. Now she is a force to be reckoned with in determining opinion within the left side of the political aisle.

The right side of the aisle as I have recently commented elsewhere is going along with the party of kooks that are in something like a Las Vegas crap shoot. All or nothing. They are hoping to win by default and not by merit. They in all likelihood have plans to do a massive raid on the treasury one day as spoils in a Gordon Gekko mindset and victory.

But of all the deeply rich offensive to me losers in the Senate and the House are the Fundamentalists members of the Doug Coe kristian fascist Family tax set up and or “Church”.

As I have stated previously in this blog, if you can set the perimeters of any argument, you have a home team advantage so to speak of winning in any argument. In other words if you are there first with a definition of God as in Constantine’s sanctioned tax abated definition of God then you and your cronies have the home team advantage in any philosophical theological theoretical arguments about such.

This is not about religion. Or is it? You tell me. This is I think about how a fascist organization masking itself in the name of the real Jesus has gone into a broken war torn nation like Uganda to lay down a new Christian definition of evil in terms of the Victorian label of homosexuality. The Victorians were good at naming things, very scientific, Darwinian, German.

I guess the politicians in Oklahoma are aware with its long history of violence and abuse on all levels and have a unique form of Christian fundamentalism – Christian mentalism? Well anyway, Tulsa is like Mecca. The Fundies have the oil money there. The sheep in Oklahoma have generational nightmares going back to Andrew Jackson’s genocidal “trail of tears” for native Americans. They are followed by violence on the frontiers on the periphery of Bleeding Kansas, the Civil War, Land grabs, Land Rushes, refugees from the defeated Confederacy and of course you have the oil, the big money thing mixed in.

In a way if a corporate lawyer named Lincoln had not fused the Union into a one and undividable unit, Oklahoma today would be in many ways a lot like Uganda, full of war, poverty and ignorance. It is like Senator Inhofe sees the need to preach the unique form of Oklahoma Jebus to the dark ignorant masses in the Oklahoma sister state of Uganda.

History being what it is – a possible learning book to learn from past human successes and past failures, I have to wonder if Doug Coe or Jim Inhofe understand the consequences of their hardball covert political actions in Uganda. Nixon bombed Cambodia to get the North Vietnamese hiding in the Cambodian border. Cambodia got destabilized. It got taken over by a bunch of religious fanatics, Communists ( Communism is considered a religion by the Vatican).

The resulting Killing Fields of Cambodia happened when foreigners came in to set a western goal on an Asian country. Of the estimated two to three million dead from those Cambodian killing fields, the Khmer Rouge, the communist religion party in charge only executed about two to three hundred thousand people. The other odd million or two or three died of starvation and disease in a country destabilized by a sure as dandy winning Pentagon war plan approved by the emperor-god Nixon.

What makes any of these Fundamentalist Lunatics not see that killing Gays would only be the start of new Killing Fields in Uganda. Once such a heinous bill is on the books any and all of your political enemies can be labeled as Gay and then legally murdered. The Doug Coe, Jim Inhofe plans for world domination are all fucked up like their queer version of “religion”.

When you go into foreign places and start small things, plant seeds, those seeds might also become extremely destructive instead of being a good thing.

Senator James Inhofe seems to have made Uganda a second home on the taxpayer’s dime and is rumored that he has largely been responsible for the “Kill the Gays” bill sponsored in the Uganda Parliament by a Coe Family Member under the atrophied rule of Museveni. That bill has now been watered down because of public opinion in this country catching up with those starting, experimenting, fulfilling a non-christian hate of homosexuals in a distant experimental African country.

My advice to Jim Inhofe – shit or get off the pot!

Be a full time senator to the people of Oklahoma. Or be a full time minister in the Doug Coe religion army. No man can serve two masters.

Don’t play God. The world is getting smaller and smaller all the time. Dress up acting and God playing are so childish and potentially disastrous and not to mention downright EVIL.
