She made Timothy Wyllie, a former Process member, take one of the Process children for a couple of years as a "punishment." He didn't feel it was a punishment and became very fond of the child, but the fact that Maryann considered being saddled with children as punitive speaks volumes.<br />Maryann was a Hitler fan. Hitler used to watch Jews being marched into the oven to perk him up when he was in a bad mood.<br />Maryann may very well have enjoyed the tales of carnage the pit bull initiative instigated. Maybe the money was just the icing on the cake.<br />Timothy Wyllie was still in contact with her until her death in 2005, he said, and at that time Maryann was still very much a Processean.<br />To this day, founder Michael aka Hugh Mountain runs a misanthropic website called Earth in Transition which commenters constantly claim to despise people and say we deserve our early demise.<br />The Process Church said this about us, "Humanity is the Devil."Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03838991082974156745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325894281523642428.post-26967882670313911572018-01-01T06:11:05.729-08:002018-01-01T06:11:05.729-08:00Don't pet food companies make food out of road...Don't pet food companies make food out of roadkill?

She also claimed she was Adolph Hitlers minister of propaganda incarnate. It's nosurprise BF is so excellent at marketing. <br />Maybe it's normal to do business as fifteen or so strange, unrelated names.<br />The wire jewelry available by Polaris is mostly moons and triangles.<br />If anyone has checked out Process Church magazines, or Foundation Faith literature, you can note the obsession with triangular emblems.

The one...I've read three versions of her death.<br />The one you cite here, which I believe Timothy Wyllie may have told an interviewer about many years ago.<br />There was a tale of her languishing in a coma for two years prior to her death.<br />In Timothy Wyllie's book, "Love Sex Fear Death," he says she was ill from lung related disease.<br />Maryann deGrimston died in 2005 with no obituary, no headstone, and her social security number was removed from the social security death index website.<br />There's no memorial on the BF website like there is for other BF founders. <br />Was it ever investigated as foul play? If MaryAnn were eaten by dogs, at BFAS would that not be huge news? I could not find any news accounts.<br />Wouldnt it have been investigated by authorities? This woman had enemies.<br />Consider the recent death of Bethany Lynn Stevens and the rampant speculation surrounding that, though Bethany was well loved.<br />MaryAnn MacLean, Moore, DeGrimston, DePeyer was not well loved at all.<br />She was the known head of the BF/Process/Foundation Faith, but isn't listed as a founder on the BF website, as other founders are. <br />Several accounts of child abuse and neglect have been recounted by former Process Church of the Final Judgement members.<br />It would be no stretch to imagine Maryanne, the tax evading former prostitute, just disappearing with her cut of the profits. Her death in November 2005 occurred short after BF ties to the Process Church were exposed.<br />Has the IRS ever investigated her? Or her estate? She died Maryann "Depeyer," remarried to one of the other founders.<br />Gabriel or Rapheal DePeyer. his son, Jonathon, wrote a book called "Coast to Coast" about his mother rescuing him from a cult when he was age six.

John Hall (D), abruptly announced last week that he was pulling out of the race “due to personal reasons.”<br />Saul gave no further explanation for his decision to drop out, though <b>it came just three days after The New York Times reported that Saul, who is vice chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, had accepted campaign contributions from developers who were bidding to build on MTA property in Manhattan.</b> Saul also had come under public criticism recently for coming out in favor of a proposed fare hike for public transit in New York."<br /><br />His daughter Jennifer Saul Yaffa also was running a state GOP lobbying and candidacy group and dropped out suddenly when her father's ethical issues hit the fan.<br /><br />Despite large, glaring ethical questions, and as a Bush pioneer, he still was allowed to run the Federal Thrift Retirement Investment Board. How does that work exactly, when a person has such campaign finance ethical questions they have to drop a political race they have raised the most money for in the state at the time?<br /><br />"Shortly after Saul assumed office, TSP Executive Director James Petrick resigned. It has been alleged by former FRTIB Chairman and Executive Director Roger Mehle that this occurred when Petrick wished to pursue a lawsuit against the contractor for the record keeping system which led to a conflict with the Justice Department over whether the board had standing to sue. Saul pursued a settlement and dropped the lawsuit. In 2007, Mehle launched his own lawsuit against Saul and the board which alleges that the board violated its fiduciary duty to TSP participants by forcing out Petrick in order to settle the lawsuit against the contractor."<br /><br />Saul is still very active in GOP political lobbying and politics. He is among a group of people who decide who will get to run for office, and who gets the support and contributions.<br /><br />Of all things, I think he now has a senior government job running transportation in New York, exactly the place where campaign contributions questions connected to him surfaced.<br /><br />Who is Andrew Saul?<br /><br />Board member and big donor to his sister's Animal Farm Foundation pit bull business.

And while I am sure some city shelters are like this, nowadays most of them are not. What they are is NOT built to house animals forever! This is because a city shelter is there to hold animals temporarily- take in strays for pick up by owners, hold dangerous dogs, and abused or abandoned pets. Keeping them endlessly was never a municipal goal, and shouldn't be. If they want to add a wing for longer term adoptees, that is great, but the idea that they ill keep all animals forever, is insane. (though they manage this by charging huge fees, refusing ferals, reducing intake to a drizzle…)<br /><br />In my city, they are just getting started priming the public for the start of a campaign for a state of the art shelter. But I have been at the shelter, and its fine. The only problems are caused by- you guessed it- pits! The cages are big enough, clean enough, and there is enough room to exercise them. The problem is that the kennels face each other and the pits cannot handle this. But the other dogs manage just fine. <br /><br />Is this ideal? Of course not. But we have a huge homeless problem here (our solution- a homeless "camp" with covered tents for 35 out of 4,000…), so putting millions into a new shelter for PITS, when we have KIDS on the street, is ABSURD.

Dunham has strong ties to GOP and other big business interests: http://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Economist-for-McMahon-has-strong-lobbying-ties-3707559.php<br /><br />Needless to say, paying a for-profit "guerrilla economist" to cook numbers is not sound science. Even though economics grad students could produce a genuine and virtually unassailable fiscal impact calculator for pennies on the dollar, Best Friends chose Dunham. That really says it all. Best Friends also hires Luntz Global, climate change deniers par excellence, to come up with their pibble marketing strategies. That would be Luntz Global, "winners" of a Politifact.com "Lie of the Year."<br /><br />Is the Best Friends Bullshit-O-Meter even remotely accurate for ANY city with BSL? The actual budget impacts associated with BSL are a matter of public record.
