Our Blog is a conglomeration of conversations which took place around the breakfast table in one or another Bettina Network home. We cover a wide range of topics.
As members of the Bettina Network Community send us information they would like disseminated to a large audience, or something happens which just strikes our fancy and we want to share it with all of you - it will go immediately to Bettina Network's Blog.
Mass. Department of Revenue! Black in Greater Boston. Are you next?
A tax lien has been filed against Rev. Dr. Robert Bennett. BUT, he has no taxable income and he files jointly with his wife and has for 38 years. The Dept. of Revenue of the Commonwealth knows they are doing wrong, but are intent on continuing the wrong doing. They claim the tax lien comes…
Retaliation or Coincidence?
by: Marceline Donaldson So much harassment has happened since the last Bettina Network Blog was circulated. That last article was about the $300,000.00 and counting drained from our assets by Somerville Cambridge Elder and Protective Services. I should add, since our horribilis experience we have discovered several African Americans and Jews who have had similar…
$300,000.00 – and climbing! The amount spent to destroy the marriage, business, life and health of an African American family!
Rev. Dr. Robert Bennett and his family are still trying to recover from the anti-psychotic drugs given to him daily in Mass General Hospital when he clearly did not want to be in the hospital and did not want all of the drugs forced down his system. Dr. Bennett was forced to take many drugs…
Historically Speaking –
We need to become more knowledgeable about history. What is happening today will make a lot of sense if you know your personal history – the history of your country – the history of your family, etc. Let’s take a look at what is happening in Texas and put it in a historical context: What…
Stefanik, a Harvard University product!
by: Marceline Donaldson It has been amazing the directions my life has taken. None more so than my time at Harvard Graduate School of Business, being the second woman and one of the first two black women accepted into the Business School’s Executive Programs. As I watched this Elise Stafanik thing, I realized she is…
Michael Cohen, A Jew – Experiencing Structural and Institutional Bigotry by the FEC
Michael Cohen, at the direction of his boss, Donald J. Trump, acted in a way which violated the law. He was tried and convicted and sent to prison. Donald Trump, his boss, did the act which caused the problem. He then required Michael Cohen to carry to its fruition the cover-up so Trump would not…
Identity Politics – U.S.A. Style
We are currently deep into “Identity Politics” – put there by Donald Trump and his push for power at any cost. We had a hilarious time as we gathered because someone brought up the current Republican drive to become the WASP Party in America. It was hilarious because the remaining people who identify as Republicans…
A Message from the Heart of an Elderly Person to your Heart!
We found this in the office of an excellent geriatric physician – Dr. Hollis Day. It is quite an office with rooms in which beautiful dolls from many countries can be found. What a walk down memory lane scooping up the humanity on which we seldom stop to reflect. “When I spill some food on…
A Reader’s Request Re: Rev. Dr. Robert Bennett
“I tried to follow the blogs which talked about what happened to Rev. Bennett. I was a student of his and felt great pain reading that. A more gentle caring man you can not find so to read about how he was treated is just horrible. I have a question, which may make me sound…
QANON, Donald Trump, KKK – have what in common?
Our research is pointing to the fact that QANON is the reincarnation of the Ku Klux Klan. It makes sense as we look under every rock we can find. Donald Trump has an early acquaintance with the KKK through his father who was, apparently, a member of the KKK and took part in their march…
