Have gotten the impression that some Christians expect me to close down the "police project?" Is it too much nonsense, and immoral? Maybe the good work has already been done, which can be? Well, I agree that some parts should close. But on the other hand, if some people have acted with true charity and concern about homosexual issues in the past it may be their efforts will remain!? There may yet be greater publicity, also? Am not sure what all the parties are thinking--there have been so many, with conflicting interests. Would like to air out the issues, as far as possible; and have been writing about this matter in the first blog, also.
If some parties were, or still are, exploiting me it's a concern. [The ones who do that don't seem to see it that way!?] They've been said to use my writing without any acknowledgement or compensation, when they've known I expected something in return.
"The truth comes out," is what I always used to say! And I believe all the real truth will come out, sooner or later. [Hopefully, sooner.]
This is the second part of my original Waterlily Story blog. Would like to tell more about myself and add some pictures. [For background information, please go to the first blog. People should also look through the list of Labels if they have concerns about a particular area. They can click on each subject separately, as they wish.] Thanks for visiting!

Another New Link
Have added a new Link today about "Bible answers." In the past I purposely left it out because I didn't want things to get too confusing! But maybe some people want to see what I believe in? Maybe they can relate also, more or less? And myself, I'm able to reconcile my beliefs with my politicking.

An Expert on Families
Dr. Laura Schlessinger, known as "Dr. Laura," has given a lot of advice on family life and how to draw boundaries while showing some respect even for abusive parents. She has been unique in my opinion--you don't often hear others speaking of the same kinds of ideas! [She has been on the radio and has written books, I believe.]

Celebrating Birth and Children, in the past
From about 1934 to 1943, the Province of Ontario basically took over the lives of quintuplet girls who were born in northern Ontario; and they were on display at an amusement park built for them, "Quintland." People came from all over the world and the business generated a lot of income. These girls were the first surviving quintuplets, as far as I understand. If there was exploitation involved on the part of the Province, the parents of the girls seemed to be worse.--There were allegations of abuse later on; and maybe the family was somewhat overwhelmed by the publicity and the forced separation. It's sad that things didn't go as well for the family, although they profited financially also, but the public seemed to be delighted by the babies who grew into identical siblings. [The public had something to be happy about during the Depression--and about life in general.]
A fictionalized novel and TV movie have been made about the above family, so far. [From the point of view of society, it remains that the girls were a bright spot in a dark period, in my opinion. Apparently, the girls had also left home around the age of 18 years and didn't maintain connections with their parents any longer.]

The Work of Secret Police
Does the average person know or understand what secret police/secret agents do??? Of course the public isn't meant to know everything that goes on or the work would be hindered! But can we imagine? We can only speculate from what has been revealed of past work and agents.
In Great Britain, like in the USA, there are numerous organizations which work together to provide intelligence to the government. Have found it interesting to be reminded of MI5 and MI6. The first refers to "Military Intelligence, Section 5;" and the second to "Secret Intelligence Service" [England]. They're separate agencies but work together directly or indirectly, as far as I understand. In the police project, the numbers 5 and 6 are emphasized at times--maybe it's a nod to these two agencies? Have wondered about it before!?
The government in England didn't even acknowledge until the 1990s that some of their intelligence work--was it MI6--existed? [MI6 provides foreign intelligence.] Was it in the 1980s when our CSIS--Canadian Security Intelligence Service was created?

Secret Connections--V / A Real-Life Hero!
Camp X was founded by a Canadian from Winnipeg who was living in England, at the time. He was also the head of the British intelligence during World War II. His name was Sir William Stephenson. One of his code names during wartime was "Intrepid;" and there's evidence the "James Bond: Secret Agent 007" stories were inspired by him--even if the stories were romanticized for entertainment purposes, to be sure.
When I was a child, a neighbour friend pointed out James Bond to me on TV and I recall watching a TV show or a movie. Bond must have been one of the original action heroes--and maybe others were inspired by him!?
So far, am not sure William Stephenson has really been celebrated enough, although he's of course recognized in his home town!?
[If there has been controversy about whether or not the original author of the James Bond stories attended Camp X, I don't think it matters much!? The point was he learned about the activities and about William Stephenson.--He didn't necessarily have to go to Camp X for information! (Although I wouldn't want to say he didn't attend either.--Some other authors were rumoured to be former students from there.)]

Secret Connections--IV
Camp X was run by the military and not by police, as far as I understand, but there were American police who came for training--and I'm guessing some Canadian police were involved somewhere along the way!? We didn't have our CSIS--Canadian Security Intelligence Service--yet but there was the RCMP Secret Service, if I'm not mistaken. Have added the Canadian Police label to the entries on Camp X.
[NOTE, added June 21: Have been reading further on the Internet and there seems to be reliable information that some RCMP officers did take training at Camp X. The Americans included agents from the FBI and from the OSS--Office of Strategic Studies--which was the forerunner of the CIA--Central Intelligence Agency.]
