NEW MEXICO PUBLIC SCHOOLS INSURANCE AUTHORITY (NMPSIA)

       Why does the NMPSIA which controls millions of dollars for health care and the disbursement of those millions use a totally Catholic version of the State of New Mexico appropriated sacred Zia Pueblo symbol?  Does this bigoted symbol convey a belief that all is well with the deposits?  (See symbol below used as the logo of the NMPSIA.)
       Their website reports "over 30,000 educational employees and their families," but does not openly reference the many other thousands of educational retirees paying into the fund.
        A search of their website does not reveal where the millions of dollars are located awaiting disbursement for healthcare bills.
        Who are the board members? What are their qualifications and whom are they employed by, or self-employed? One vague figure on website showed no funding for these Board members.
         A further search revealed the following appointments:
- Two teachers belonging to NEA.
- One teacher belonging to AFT/NM.
- Three by governor's appointment.
- One from Superintendent's Association
- One School Business official. (? What?)
- One from Education entities at large.  (? What?)
- One from School Boards Association.
- One from Public Education Commission.

            To alleviate any confusion about this design used by the NMPSIA, previous posts on this blog explain and show the difference.  Hint: note the larger gap between the bars providing three spaces referencing the Catholic "Holy Trinity."

THIS NEXT IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE BIGOTED CATHOLIC SYMBOL USED IN THE NMPSIA WEBSITE.

BIGOTRY AT ITS BEST, A FAILED LEGACY

        When the current culturally deficient mayor of Las Cruces, insurance agent Mr. Miyagishima, replaced the jocular travel agent bigot (see previous story of Holocaust ceremony), he immediately began his promotion of Christianity from his public mayoral office.
          There had been some hope of respite among The Other religious and non-believer minorities from the decades of unashamed religious bigotry of the city of Las Cruces.   That hope faded when Miyagishima introduced his decidedly Catholic mayoral plaque.  Ancestral experiences of racial and religious bigotry are sometimes lost on descendants, but their own, proudly carried on. 
           The divinely representative center cross with the rays of white light is the same cross that the sitting judge, federal magistrate Lourdes Martinez said she couldn't see.

        The other laughable followup project passed by the City Council, and approved by the state Legislature, is the vehicular license plate promoting the city-wide Christian bigotry.   The additional profits from the special sales of the plate was scheduled to provide monies for proselytizing the city's youth at the Meerscheidt Recreational Center. A daily, on going, enterprise.
        The interest in joining the city's promotion of religious bigotry was misjudged.  After several years of sales the total is less than a thousand.  The license plates are nice in that they help identify the proud bigots of their exclusive "City of the Crosses."

       The other laughable promotion is the engraved evangelical nickname for the city, "City of Las Cruces," on the front of the new city hall building.  "Las Cruces" is just not enough, when the purpose is to relate the name to the Spanish for 'the crosses.'  (see previous posts about the Las Cruces name from fakelore of Latin crosses over fictitious massacre graves.)

Now we have:

Las Cruces Sun-News. Las Cruces courtesy photo.

       Any passerby will know what this sign means.  The message is loud and clear:  'Christians are welcome.  This is a Christian city.  Non-believers don't tarry.'

      The failure of the local government's in-your-face plethora of Christian symbols, caused by the meaningless monotony of the City's gothic, pagan influenced symbol of the sun, and the trinitarian crosses that evolved from the fictitious graves' crosses, has generated a new direction to make proud the evangelical purpose of the City government to promote Christianity. 

       Announced 09-15-2014 in the local Las Cruces Sun-News, the City Council is considering the placement of large, 20' X 40', in-your-face billboards on I-10 (East and West), I-25 (North and South), and U. S. Highway 70 (from and to Alamogordo, NM), not only to proselytize the passing travelers, the other 150,000 Mesilla Valley residents, and residents of New Mexico, but to justify the promotion of Christianity .  The article revealed the head cheerleaders as Miyagishima, of course, and Mr. Udell Vigil, of the Public Information Office, the base for promoting government fundamentalism.

     "It's a branding effort," said Udell Vigil.  ".....city officials want to let visitors and motorists passing through know they are welcome."  Right!  If you are not here to be sanctified, you are welcomed to stay long enough to spend some money and kiss the Roadrunner's arse on the way out of the city.

    

OLD GLORY NEVER RAISED HER HEAD

     During the evening of 29 August 2014, there was excitement in the local public school district's football stadium nicknamed the "Field of Dreams."  Now a permanent designation, even lettered on the new Million Dollar Artificial Turf.  The turf was paid for in part, perhaps in toto, by stripping funds from the various schools' arts and music programs.
   
     From its provincial beginning, the field was curiously nicknamed after the baseball movie of that same name.  Though illegal in most venues, the school district allows the belligerent display of large, permanent Christian crosses of the Trinity on the street sidewall. Supposedly, in deference to the city's name source of crosses over fictitious graves from fictitious Apache massacres.

     The across-town rivalry joined two public high schools. One school dubiously named "Onate High School" by the Church for the blessed Mexico-born conquistador who only passed through the area.  Fans and students of the newer other, Centennial High School, were wearing shirts and other equipment with the intentionally modified Trinitarian Zia symbol part of the school logo.

     Adding to the religiously charged event was the fluttering extra-large, evangelical-modified, Christianized state flag hanging under what appeared to be a smaller Old Glory. (See modified flag at 10/10/13 post.)

     Throughout the event, played out in the warm desert breeze, the fluttering modified state flag displayed its true face, while that symbol that represents us all, Old Glory, perhaps in shame, never raised her head.  But, the Valley's 'golden calf' flag of religious bigotry pole-danced the night away.
