En memoria amorosa de mi madre, Shirlee Sussman.

En memoria amorosa de mi madre, Shirlee Sussman.

Han pasado diez años desde que nos despedimos de una mujer extraordinaria, mi madre, Shirlee Parnell Sussman. No fue solo una luz brillante en nuestras vidas, sino el corazón y el alma de nuestra familia, y su recuerdo sigue inspirándonos cada día.

Mi madre, Shirlee, tenía 79 años en el momento de su fallecimiento el lunes 30 de septiembre de 2013, en Gilbert, Arizona. Tuvo una vida llena de propósito y dedicación. Junto con su difunto esposo, Wilbur B. Sussman, fue una fuerza impulsora detrás de Wilshire Enterprises. Su arduo trabajo y compromiso dejaron una huella imborrable en nuestras vidas y nuestra comunidad.

Para nuestra familia, no fue solo una madre amorosa. Fue una miembro dedicada de la Iglesia Católica Preciosa Sangre y una orgullosa graduada de la clase de 1952 de la Escuela Secundaria Kiser. Su activa participación en el Club Rotario de Northmont, incluyendo su cargo como presidenta pasada, mostró su inquebrantable compromiso con el servicio, un valor que inculcó en todos nosotros.

Lo que realmente diferenciaba a mi madre era su incansable defensa del programa Polio Plus de Rotary International. Su lucha contra la polio comenzó a la temprana edad de dos años, lo que le proporcionó una perspectiva única sobre los desafíos que enfrentan las personas con discapacidades. Su fuerza y determinación para vivir con la polio fueron una fuente constante de inspiración y admiración para nuestra familia.

Su experiencia personal también la convirtió en una influyente delegada en la Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades (ADA) durante la administración de Reagan. Las perspicacias y la dedicación inquebrantable de mi madre desempeñaron un papel fundamental en ayudar al Presidente Reagan a alcanzar sus objetivos para las personas con discapacidades, un testimonio de su pasión y compromiso.

Pero su dedicación no se detuvo ahí. Cuando enfrenté los desafíos abrumadores de vivir con el VIH, mi madre fue mi sólido pilar de apoyo. Ella me ayudó a sobrevivir al SIDA y a navegar por las complejidades de las situaciones médicas que enfrenté en mis 25 años de lucha contra el VIH. Su amor, cuidado y fortaleza durante esos tiempos difíciles fueron nada menos que extraordinarios.

Siempre atesoraré el recuerdo del día en que fui admitido en el Hogar de Enfermería Covenant en Trotwood, Ohio. Fue una decisión que permitió que mis padres se fueran de vacaciones durante diez días sin preocuparse por mí. Poco sabía entonces que sería una de las mejores decisiones que tomaría en mi vida, por muchas razones.

A lo largo de la línea de tiempo en curso, verán cuántas razones tengo para estar agradecido por el Hogar de Enfermería Covenant, que en ese momento era propiedad y estaba operado por la Federación Judía de Greater Dayton y los equipos detrás de él. Hice amigos de por vida entre el personal y conocí a algunas de las personas más increíbles de mi vida que estaban en su último viaje terrenal antes de partir hacia el eterno.

Mientras recordamos a mi amada madre, Shirlee Parnell Sussman, en este décimo aniversario de su partida, llevemos adelante su espíritu de servicio, resistencia y dedicación para hacer del mundo un lugar mejor. Puede que ya no esté con nosotros, pero su legado vive en nuestros corazones y en las vidas que tocó, especialmente la mía, como su hijo. Su apoyo inquebrantable durante mis batallas de salud me recuerda el poder del amor y la familia, y por eso estoy eternamente agradecido.

      NATO Escalates for World War; Military and Foreign Affairs Experts Release Proposal: Ending the War with a Negotiated Peace
      The following statement was released by the Schiller Institute internationally for immediate mass circulation on September 25.NATO Escalates for World War; Military and Foreign Affairs Experts Release Proposal:‘Ending the War with a Negotiated Peace’All reports indicate that President Biden intends to send U.S. Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) long-range missiles to Ukraine, with Germany then moving in lockstep, sending Taurus long-range cruise missiles to Kiev, capable of hitting 500 km deep into Russian territory. This escalation by NATO could very well bring NATO into direct warfighting with Russia and—by design or miscalculation—into a nuclear world war.The Schiller Institute is to
      Medvedev Writes, Russia Being Left with No Choice but Direct Conflict with NATO
      Sept. 27, 2023 (EIRNS)—Russia is being left with fewer and fewer options for avoiding direct conflict with NATO. “It appears that Russia is increasingly left with no choice but to engage in direct conflict with NATO on the ground,” Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian President and current Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, warned in a posting on his Telegram channel yesterday, reported TASS. “NATO has evolved into an openly fascist alliance, resembling Hitler’s Axis, albeit on a larger scale. We are prepared, although the outcome may come at a much higher cost to humanity than in 1945….”He cited the following developments to preface his warning:Canadian animals, led by Prime Minister
      Russian Security Chief: No Prospects for Settlement with Ukraine
      Sept. 27, 2023 (EIRNS)—Russian Security Council chairman Nikolai Patrushev, in Cairo yesterday for meetings with his Egyptian counterpart, said there are still no prospects for the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis. TASS, citing Rossiskaya Gazeta, reported that Patrushev pointed out that Russia supports the position of Egypt and a number of other African countries on mediation in the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis. However, “as of today, the prospects for such a solution are not visible,” he said. “Ukraine will not be allowed to go for a peace agreement and will continue to be used as a tool against Russia,” Rossiyskaya Gazeta quoted Patrushev as saying.At the same time, he thanked his

      Lavrov at UNGA Calls Out West’s Nuclear War Planning, Aimed To Stop Nations Cooperating as Equals
      Sept. 23, 2023 (EIRNS)—From the outset of his address to the UN General Assembly today, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov identified the underlying cause of conflict in the world, as being the Western powers’ desperation to stop the unstoppable: the nations of the world joining together in new ways—through the BRICS, the SCO, the African Union, ASEAN, CELAC, etc.—so as to develop in freedom. He was equally blunt about the supreme danger: The West not only seeks global NATO domination, but also has revived plans for nuclear war against the Russian Federation.An official translation of his speech is not yet available, but given its strategic importance, we provide here some key quotes via

      Edited Transcript of Remarks by Everett Suttle to 9/22 IPC MeetingSept. 24—Edited transcript of remarks by tenor Evertt Suttle to the Friday, Sept. 22 meeting of the International Peace Coalition.I have to say I learned something very, very profound yesterday, and that was the true power of music. To be honest, I didn’t know what I was getting into and Indira and I were just following Dennis Speed’s lead. And the madness that was going on all around, it was a little unnerving. But I remember the story of Roland Hayes when he went through something similar—when he made his debut in Berlin and all the Nazis and the racial slurs that were thrown at him when he entered—and he just got very quiet
      Former Daimler Manager Argues To Repair Nord Stream, Restart Nuclear Power, Stick with Gasoline Vehicles
      Sept. 23, 2023 (EIRNS)—Eckard Cordes, former chief of Daimler, blew the whistle on the insanity of the German government policy in an interview yesterday with the Berliner Zeitung. Germany is giving up its lead and sacrificing a key industry, even though demand for the product remains high. “The car industry is the backbone of the German economy,” says Cordes, pointing to the Germans’ lead: “We have the best know-how in the world when it comes to the internal combustion engine.” However, if there is no longer a market for internal combustion engines in Europe, plus extremely high energy costs, companies will pull out of Germany. German workers and their families will fall by the wayside. Ber
