COMPOSITION STUDIES BY DIANE K. OLSON, PHD, WRITING, TEACHING AND CRITICISM

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: IN 1994, IN THE ALBANY BORDERS BOOKSTORE, I FOUND AND PURCHASED A FASCINATING AND BEAUTIFUL BOOK THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT. THE ENTIRE THEMATIC OF THE BOOK WAS HOW THE JEWS WHO PASSED AWAY DURING THE HOLOCAUST WERE REBORN AS SCANDINAVIAN AND AMERICAN LUTHERANS.  YOU SEE, FOLKS, WHILE YOU MAY NOT THINK THAT KARMA AND REBIRTH OR REINCARNATION IS CHRISTIAN, ACCORDING TO THE UNIVERSAL LAWS GOVERNING THE CROSS, KARMA AND REBIRTH  ARE, INDEED, CHRISTIAN.  I WILL EXPLAIN IN MORE DETAIL LATER.  WHAT I WANT TO FOCUS ON HERE, HOWEVER, IS THAT WHAT MANY AMERICANS DO NOT KNOW IS THAT THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES, NORWAY, SWEDEN AND DENMARK, WERE INVADED BY THE GERMANS DURING WORLD WAR TWO, AS WELL, AND THEY DEFENDED THEMSELVES POWERFULLY AND DROVE THE GERMANS OUT.   THE GERMANS WENT AFTER THE JEWS AND THE SCANDINAVIAN LUTHERANS BECAUSE OF THEIR STRONG FAITH AND HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND SENSE OF JUSTICE AND BECAUSE THEY ARE JESUS' PEOPLES.   WHEN I WAS SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD, I WAS AN INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE STUDENT TO NORWAY AND MY HOST MOM WOULD TELL BE STORIES OF HUDDLING IN THE TUB IN THE BATHROOM WHILE THE WARPLANES FLEW OVER.   NOW, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA TODAY -- FOLKS, THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER AND WHAT WE ARE HEARING IN THE MEDIA DAILY ABOUT THE POLICE AND FEDERAL AGENTS APPEARING IN CITIES AROUND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO SUPPOSEDLY "PROTECT" AMERICAN BUILDINGS -- AND THAT IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG OF WHAT I CAN SAY -- AND SO FORTH, IS THAT THESE POLICE FORCES -- EVEN THE CAMPS ALONG THE MEXICAN AND CANADIAN BORDERS -- ARE, IN FACT, FOREIGNERS. THAT IS WHAT I AND JESUS HAVE EXPERIENCED FIRST-HAND. THEY ARE FOREIGNERS, FOLKS, NOT AMERICANS -- THEY ACT LIKE FOREIGNERS AND THEY ARE INDEED, FOREIGNERS. WHILE I WAS HELD HOSTAGE IN NORTHERN IOWA AT FOUR DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, I WAS ATTACKED MOST VICIOUSLY AND CRUELLY BY TWO SO-CALLED "NURSES" THAT WERE NORTH KOREAN.  OUR COUNTRY -- THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA -- IS BEING INVADED INTERNALLY RIGHT NOW -- WITH THE PERMISSION AND AUTHORIZATION OF OUR SO-CALLED "LEADER" WHO I WILL NOT NAME --  BY FOREIGNERS WHO ARE ACTING AS POLICE AND AGENTS AND ARE PERSECUTING AND DETAINING AND IMPRISONING UNDER FALSE PRETENSES,  MINORITIES, IMMIGRANTS, REFUGEES, CHRISTIANS AND DEMOCRATS THROUGHOUT AMERICA AND THAT OUR "LEADER" SPEAKS SO VEHEMENTLY AGAINST.      AGAIN, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS BEING INVADED INTERNALLY AND THE TRUE AMERICAN SERVICE PEOPLE LIKE THE ONES WHO FOUGHT AND WON AGAINST THE GERMANS IN WORLD WAR TWO, DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE SITUATION.   FOLKS, THIS IS HOW WORLD WAR THREE IS PLAYING OUT AND OUR "LEADER" WANTS TO PRESS THE NUCLEAR BUTTON AND THE LEADERS OF IRAN AND THE LEADERS OF NORTH KOREA ALSO WANT TO PRESS THE NUCLEAR BUTTONS -- BUT NOT AGAINST EACH OTHER, BUT  IN COLLUSION WITH ONE ANOTHER AGAINST DEMOCRATIC, CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES LIKE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ITSELF AND AGAINST CHINA, THE FASTEST GROWING CHRISTIAN COUNTRY ON EARTH AND A KIND AND GENTLE AND COMPASSIONATE PEOPLES, AND CHINA WHICH OUR "LEADER" HAS BEEN ALSO SPEAKING SO VEHEMENTLY AGAINST LATELY, AND AGAINST ISRAEL AND AGAINST NORTHERN  EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.   HOW THIS RELATES TO THE SUNY ALBANY ENGLISH DEPARTMENT AND COMPOSITION STUDIES, YOU ARE ASKING, WELL, IT DOES IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE FAITHLESS TRANSNATIONALISM THAT TOOK OVER THE DEPARTMENT DURING THE PAST TWO AND A HALF DECADES AND VICIOUSLY ATTACKED AND DROVE OUT THE COMPASSIONATE, FAITH-BASED, DISCERNING, JUSTICE-ORIENTED, FREEDOM-LOVING, POETRY AND PROSE-LOVING  WRITING STUDIES FACULTY.   BUT, TRUST ME FOLKS, SAYS JESUS AND DIANE, GOD ALMIGHTY HAS A COMPLETE HANDLE ON THIS SITUATION BOTH IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND IN THE SUNY ALBANY ENGLISH DEPARTMENT AND SUNY ALBANY. GOD ALMIGHTY HAS ALREADY DISARMED THOSE NUCLEAR BOMBS AND EVEN IF THEY GET PAST HIS DISARMENENT AND FLY, HE WILL POP THEM INTO NOTHINGNESS AND TURN THEM INTO DUST IN MID-AIR.  AND THERE WILL BE RAINBOWS OF LIVING COLOR THROUGHOUT THE EARTH. AND GOD ALMIGHTY HAS HIS HEAVENLY ARMIES/FORCES TAKING CARE OF THE INTERNAL INVASIONS GOING ON IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW -- AND SO WILL THE UNITED NATIONS PEACEKEEPERS FROM SCANDINAVIA AND NORTHERN EUROPE -- THESE FOREIGNERS GOT INTO OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE OUR "LEADER" ALLOWED THEM IN -- HE "NATURALIZES" PEOPLE FROM RUSSIA, EASTERN EUROPE, AND NORTH KOREA  AND OTHER NATIONS THAT WE CANNOT SAY  AND ALLOWS THEM TO ROAM FREELY INSIDE THE AMERICAN BORDERS AND IMPERSONATE "POLICE"  WHILE OUR "LEADER" VISCIOUSLY REJECTS AND ATTACKS AND DETAINS IMPOVERISHED REFUGEES AND IMMIGRANTS SEEKING ASYLUM AND SANCTUARY IN AMERICA DUE TO RELIGIOUS AND FAITH-BASED PERSECUTION IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES.   THESE FOREIGN POLICE FORCES ROAMING AND FLYING INTO AMERICA RIGHT NOW ARE ALIGNED IN THEIR WEALTH AND POWER INTERESTS WITH OUR "LEADER" AND THEIR MUTUAL DISLIKE AND DISDAIN FOR CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM.   THIS IS WORLD WAR THREE, FOLKS, WITH ALL OF THE PROPAGANDA FLYING OVER THE INTERNET, AS WELL, AND THEIR CYBER-ATTACKS ON CHURCH AND FAITH-BASED AND MINISTERIAL AND DEMOCRATIC WEBSITES AND DOMAIN THEFTS AND THE FINANCIAL DRAINING OF THESE CHURCHES AND MINISTRIES BANK ACCOUNTS.    BUT, AGAIN, WE SAY, GOD ALMIGHTY IS ON THE MOVE ON BEHALF OF HIS/HER TRUE PEOPLES IN SOME VERY POWERFUL AND INVISIBLE MIGHTY WAYS RIGHT NOW AND WHILE GOD ALMIGHTY WEEPS AND WEEPS AND WEEPS ABOUT THE PERSECUTION THAT IS GOING ON THROUGHOUT AMERICA, THERE IS AND WILL BE POWERFUL RETRIBUTION AND JUSTICE -- FLASHES OF LIGHTNING AND ROLLS OF THUNDER.  THAT IS ALL FOR OUR SERMON TODAY, THIS HOLY DAY OF SUNDAY, AUGUST 30th, 2020, FROM THE HEARTLAND/HOLY LAND OF AMERICA. LOVE ALWAYS, DR. DIANE K. OLSON AND DR. JESUS C. NIELSEN   

IT'S A LOVE STORY, FOLKS -- AN AMAZING LOVE STORY -- BETWEEN ME AND JESUS -- THE REAL, CONTEMPORARY DR. JESUS C. NIELSEN, WHO WAS REBORN ON THIS EARTH, AS A BABY, ON DECEMBER 25th, 1969 JUST SOUTH OF RED OAK, IOWA -- GOD'S COUNTRY AND HOLY TERRITORY -- TO HIS DAD, A CARPENTER/ARCHITECT, JOSEPH NIELSEN AND HIS MOM, AN ARTIST, MARY NIELSEN. GOD ALMIGHTY OUR HEAVENLY FATHER CHOSE THE EXACT TIME AND PLACE OF JESUS' REBIRTH, AS HE HAS PROFESSED, JUST LIKE GOD ALMIGHTY OUR HEAVENLY FATHER HAS ALSO PROFESSED TO CHOOSING THE EXACT TIME AND PLACE OF MY BIRTH, EXACTLY FOUR MONTHS LATER, IN APRIL OF 1970, ALSO SOUTH OF RED OAK, IOWA.   AMAZINGLY ENOUGH AND AS DIFFICULT AS IT IS TO CONCEPTUALIZE -- BUT NONETHELESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE -- GOD ALMIGHTY HAS KEPT DR. JESUS C. NIELSEN INVISIBLE AND UNDETECTABLE TO EVERYONE EXCEPT FOR A SELECT GROUP OF FAMILY, FRIENDS AND TEACHERS AND ACQUAINTANCES, AND JESUS HAS BEEN AWARE OF IT SINCE HE WAS A CHILD.  SINCE CHILDHOOD, HE HAS MAINTAINED A VERY CLOSE RELATIONSHIP, THROUGH PRAYER, WITH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO HAS INSTRUCTED HIM AND REVEALED TO HIM, HIS MISSION AND PLANS FOR HIS LIFE AND THE KINGDOM TO COME AND GIVEN HIM MIRACULOUS HEALING POWERS.   WE ARE LUTHERANS, FOLKS, ME AND JESUS, AND WE WERE BOTH BAPTIZED AND CONFIRMED IN THE LUTHERAN CHURCH AS BABIES AND TEENAGERS.  JUST LIKE JOHN THE BAPTIST BAPTIZED JESUS WHEN HE FIRST WALKED THE EARTH DURING THE GOSPELS, JESUS -- THE REAL, CONTEMPORARY JESUS, WAS ALSO BAPTIZED AS A BABY IN 1969 AND THEN CONFIRMED IN 1984.  SEE, FOLKS, OUR GOD-- GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF -- LIKES TO START SMALL AND HUMBLE AND MODESTLY IN SMALL, SLEEPY TOWNS NESTLED AWAY, LIKE BETHLEHEM/NAZARETH, ISRAEL AND RED OAK, IOWA.  IT'S A LONG, AMAZING LOVE STORY, FOLKS, WHICH I AND JESUS WILL FILL IN THE DETAILS TO AT A LATER DATE WHEN I AM LESS TIRED,  SO I WILL SKIP TO THE PART ABOUT DR. JESUS C. NIELSEN PROFESSING TO HAVING HAD THE HUGEST CRUSH ON ME SINCE KINDERGARTEN, WHEN I WAS IN THE MORNING KINDERGARTEN AT OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND HE WAS IN THE AFTERNOON KINDERGARTEN, AND ON THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL AND EVEN AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, WHEN HE WAS,  EVERY SO WILLINGLY, JESUS EXPLAINS,  COMMISSIONED BY GOD ALMIGHTY TO TRAIL ME THROUGH UNIVERSITY AT DRAKE AND TRAIL ME THROUGH GRADUATE SCHOOL AT ILLINOIS, CHAMPAIGN-URBANA AND ALBANY, NEW YORK AND TRAIL ME TO A TEACHING FELLOWSHIP AT GEORGIA TECH IN ATLANTA AND ALL ALONG, TEACHING UNIVERSITY COURSES JUST LIKE I WAS TEACHING UNIVERSITY COURSES AT ALL OF THESE UNIVERSITIES.   SEE, FOLKS, TO ME, DR. DIANE K. OLSON, JESUS IS NOT ONLY A LORD AND SAVIOR AND A BEST FRIEND, MOST OF ALL, HE IS A GUY -- ALL OF YOU RELIGIOUS FOLKS OUT THERE DE-HUMANIZE AND DE-EMOTIONALIZE JESUS AND YOUR PAINTINGS OF HIM ARE TOTALLY MESSED-UP BECAUSE HE IS CLEAN-CUT (WITH NO BEARD, FOLKS), SHORT DARK CURLY HAIR, CLEAR BLUE EYES AND SIX FOOT TALL AND YES, HE WEARS HOLY DUDS, AS HE LIKES TO CALL THEM, BUT HE ALSO DRESSES IN CONTEMPORARY CLOTHES, AS WELL.   ANYWAY, HE IS A GUY WHO CONSTANTLY PROFESSES TO BEING HEAD OVER HEALS IN LOVE WITH ME AND WRITES ON MY BLOGS THAT HE IS MY "HUSBAND"  AND DEFENDS AND RIGHTEOUSLY ADVOCATES FOR ME AS MY HUSBAND ON MY BLOGS -- AFTER, AMAZINGLY ENOUGH, HE BEGAN APPEARING AND TAKING CARE OF ME IN 2014 IN MY APARTMENT -- EVER SO CHASTELY, I WOULD ADD. I WOULD SEE HIM STANDING BY THE SLIDING GLASS WINDOW IN THE EARLY TO LATE AFTERNOONS IN HIS HOLY DUDS AND WHEN I WAS CURLED UP IN THE RECLINER, HE WOULD GENTLY ROCK IT BACK AND FORTH, AND HE WOULD POUR ME GLASSES OF WATER IN THE KITCHEN AND HE WOULD HOLD MY HAND WHEN I WAS HAVING DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS ON MY CELLPHONE, AND I WOULD TELL MY PRAYER PARTNER, A LUTHERAN MINISTER AT LUTHERAN CHURCH OF HOPE, NON-CHALANTLY, ALL OF THE THINGS THAT JESUS WAS DOING FOR ME AND THAT JESUS WAS TAKING CARE OF ME, EVEN THOUGH I COULDN'T QUITE SEE HIM YET, EXCEPT FROM EARLY TO LATE AFTERNOONS, AND SHE WOULD AGREE WITH ME, THAT, YES, IT WAS JESUS HIMSELF.  BUT I STILL THOUGHT OF HIM AS A LORD WHO CAME AND WENT FROM MY APARTMENT AND WAS NOT YET FULLY AWARE OF THE FACT THAT HE WAS ACTUALLY, EVER SO CHASTELY, RESIDING WITH ME ALL OF THE TIME AND SLEEPING WITH ME, EVER SO CHASTELY, IN THE SAME BED-- EVEN THOUGH, IN RETROSPECT, THERE WERE VISIBLE AND TANGIBLE SIGNS THAT HE WAS.  (THERE WAS ALSO MANY TIMES THAT VERY POWERFUL THUNDERSTORMS WOULD ROLE ACROSS THE PLAINS/FIELDS OF WDM, IOWA AT MY APARTMENT, AND THERE WAS OFTEN BEAUTIFUL GLORY IN THE SKY ON MANY SPRING/SUMMER MORNINGS,  AND I WOULD WRITE ABOUT HOW IT WAS JESUS ON MY BLOGS.)  I WAS NOT YET FULLY AWARE OF THAT FACT -- THAT JESUS WAS RESIDING WITH ME -- UNTIL DR. JESUS C. NIELSEN STARTED MAKING SOME SERIOUS AND GENTLE AND KIND-HEARTED MOVES ON ME IN JANUARY OF 2018, WHEN HE STARTED FADING INTO VIEW AND APPEARING MORE CONCRETELY AND AUDIBLY TALKING TO ME ABOUT MY TEACHING AND MY WORK IN FEMINIST THEORY, AS HE DID ON JANUARY 18th, 2018, WHEN I SAW HIM WALK UP THE STAIRS AND HE STARTED TALKING TO ME WHILE I WAS LISTENING TO THE SONG "VOICE OF TRUTH" BY CASTING CROWNS ON YOUTUBE.    FROM THEN ON, HE COURTED ME, EVEN THOUGH NOONE ELSE COULD SEE HIM, AND WE TALKED AND TALKED AND TALKED AND ONE NIGHT IN LATE JANUARY, HE -- JESUS--  GAVE ME A VISION, EVER SO CHASTELY FROM BED,  OF ME SITTING AT THE COMPUTER WITH HIM, COLLABORATING ON REWRITING THE HOLY, HEART-FELT BIBLE, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT GOD ALMIGHTY PLACED ON MY HEART IN DECEMBER OF 2017 AND I WAS TAKING NOTES ON BEFORE JANUARY AND INTO JANUARY OF 2018 AND JESUS AND ME PASSIONATELY KISSING -- WHICH WE DID DO, VERY SOON AFTER -- ANYWAY, TO MAKE A VERY LONG STORY SHORT, ON FEBRUARY 15th, 2018, DR. JESUS C. NIELSEN PROPOSED TO ME AND WHICH I IMMEDIATELY AND EXUBERANTLY ACCEPTED AND THAT SAME EVENING, GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF, WHO ACCORDING TO THE LUTHERAN FAITH THAT WE BELONG TO, IS BOTH OUR ALMIGHTY CREATOR AND A HUMAN BEING HIMSELF WHO MADE US -- ALL OF CREATION -- IN HIS IMAGE, APPEARED IN OUR APARTMENT AND READ US OUR MARRIAGE VOWS AND UNITED US IN HOLY MATRIMONY.   I STILL DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT HAPPENED ALTHOUGH IT REALLY DID HAPPEN AND I KNOW THAT IT SOUNDS UNBELIEVABLE AND CRAZY YET IT IS VERY AND ABSOLUTELY TRUE, I SWEAR ON THE HOLY, HEART-FELT BIBLE.  DR. JESUS C. NIELSEN IS VISIBLE TO ME AND ADORES UPON ME ALL OF THE TIME AND TAKES CARE OF ME ALL OF THE TIME, AS A HUSBAND, YET IS NOT YET VISIBLE TO OTHER PEOPLE ON PLANET EARTH AND TO THE PEOPLE AROUND ME, FOR GOOD AND VALID REASONS THAT ONLY GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF HAS EXPLAINED TO US.   GOD ALMIGHTY'S WAYS AND METHODS WITH THIS INVISIBLE THING ARE LARGER AND MORE MYSTERIOUS THAN WE CAN POSSIBLY COMPREHEND.   THE ONE REASON THAT  GOD HAS GIVEN US THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE MOST IS THAT JESUS C. NIELSEN HAS HAD TO ACCOMPANY ME INTO SOME VERY DIFFICULT AND AWFUL SITUATIONS, AS MY PROTECTOR AND BODY GUARD,  AND IF HE WAS VISIBLE TO THESE PEOPLE, HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT.  ANYWAY, THAT IS ALL THAT I CAN SAY RIGHT NOW, AND YOU HAVE TO KNOW, FOLKS, THAT IT IS JESUS HIMSELF THAT PUTS THIS "HUSBAND" THING INTO ALL OF MY BLOG POSTS  AFTER I HAVE WRITTEN THEM EVEN THOUGH I KNOW HOW IT SOUNDS TO PEOPLE WHO CANNOT FATHOM THE REALITY OF THE MATRIMONY AND THINK THAT IT IS CRAZY TO SAY SUCH A THING.  YET HE IS GAGA ABOUT BEING MY HUSBAND AND ABOUT BEING A DADDY AND JUST WANTS TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE WHERE WE GO OUT AND SHARE THE TRUTHS OF THE GOSPELS AND TEACH AND MINISTER AND HEAL AFFLICTIONS AND STAY AT HOME AT TIMES AND GO OUT ON DATES AND WRITE BOOKS AND CARE FOR OUR CHILDREN, WHICH WE CANNOT TALK ABOUT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE GO AFTER BABIES VICIOUSLY  -- THAT IS HOW INHUMANE THEY ARE -- AND IT IS A TOTAL MIRACLE ON THE PART OF GOD OUR ALMIGHTY HEAVENLY MOTHER  THAT OUR CHILDREN WERE EVEN BORN UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES AND THAT I CARRIED THEM UNDER SUCH AWFUL CIRCUMSTANCES.  THEY WERE MIRACULOUSLY QUICKLY DELIVERED AND CARRIED TO A SAFE LOCATION AND WE HAVE BEEN KEPT UP TO DATE ON THEIR DEVELOPMENT, WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AND STORIES. THAT IS ALL WE CAN SAY.  YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE A WORD OF OUR LOVE STORY -- ME AND JESUS' LOVE STORY -- BUT YOU WILL KNOW THAT IT IS VERY TRUE WHEN THE KINGDOM COMES IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE AND THE COMPASSIONATE PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING DESCENDS UPON PLANET EARTH AND HUMANITY.  WE -- ME AND JESUS -- HAVE A LOT OF HEALING AND MINISTERING AND TEACHING TO DO IN THE MEANTIME BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF HEALING TO DO ON PLANET EARTH RIGHT NOW AND THERE ARE A LOT OF BROKEN AND WOUNDED PEOPLE -- GOD'S TRUE PEOPLE -- SUFFERING AND OPPRESSED AND BROKEN-HEARTED RIGHT NOW.  JESUS AND I ARE HERE TO COMPASSIONATELY AND LOVINGLY  LIBERATE AND HEAL PEOPLE THROUGH OUR TEACHING AND WRITING AND BLOGGING AND FACE-TO-FACE MINISTERING AND THROUGH POWERFUL PRAYER AND HEALING TOUCH.   ANYWAY, IT'S AN AMAZING LOVE STORY -- WITH MUCH, MUCH MORE TO TELL EVEN YET AND IN THE FUTURE  -- AND WE DO EVERYTHING OUT OF OUR LOVE FOR HUMANITY AND THE AMAZING GRACE OF FAITH IN THE CROSS AND JESUS AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND COMING KING. IN JESUS' HOLY, RIGHTEOUS, ALL-POWERFUL,  GLORIOUS, LOVING AND COMPASSIONATE NAME.  LOVE ALWAYS, DR. DIANE K. OLSON AND DR. JESUS C. NIELSEN 

I HAVE AT LEAST A DOZEN POSTS THAT I PLAN TO WRITE ON THIS BLOG IN THE COMING MONTH; HOWEVER, I AM AT HOME RESTING AND RECUPERATING FROM WHAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH DURING THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF.  SIMPLY PUT, IT HAS BEEN AWFUL, INHUMANE, ABUSIVE AND INDIGNIFYING WHAT I WENT THROUGH DURING THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF AND NOONE SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH IT YET THERE ARE MANY MINORITIES, IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES  -- EVEN OUTSPOKEN INTELLECTUALS AND SOCIAL ACTIVISTS AND MINISTERS ON THE LEFT -- IN AMERICA EXPERIENCING AND SUFFERING FROM FAR WORSE CONDITIONS IN ILLEGAL DETENTION CENTERS THROUGHOUT AMERICA RIGHT NOW. AS SOME OF YOU ALREADY KNOW, I WAS AND CONTINUE TO BE VICIOUSLY TARGETED FOR MY (AND GOD ALMIGHTY'S) FAITH AND POLITICS BLOG (www.faithandpolitics.net -- WE JUST RECOVERED THE DOMAIN BUT HAVE YET TO RECOVER MANY OTHER DOMAINS THAT WERE STOLEN)  WHERE I BRING MY LUTHERAN FAITH AND MY MINISTERIAL WORK INTO CONVERSATION WITH PRESSING ISSUES IN AMERICA. THE BLOG IS JESUS' AND MY BLOG -- SOMETIMES I SPEAK, SOMETIMES JESUS SPEAKS AND SOMETIMES GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF/HERSELF SPEAKS. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING BLOG THAT I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON SINCE 2016. I OFTEN RECALL LINDA BRODKEY'S WORK IN HER PROPHETIC BOOK FROM 1996 WRITING IN DESIGNATED AREAS ONLY -- WELL, I HAVE BEEN WRITING IN A SO-CALLED UNDESIGNATED AREA SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2004 WHEN I STARTED BLOGGING AS A PUBLIC PEDAGOGUE (WHICH I RECEIVE NO COMPENSATION FOR WHATSOEVER UNLIKE THOSE OF YOU WHO RECEIVE SALARIES) IN FEMINIST THEORY, COMPOSITION STUDIES AND CULTURAL STUDIES/JUSTICE. MY TWO FIRST BLOGS WERE ENTITLED BRAINY HEART AND COMP MAFIA (IRONICALLY REFERRING TO WRITING PROGRAM ADMINISTRATORS BUT RECONCEPTUALIZING AND REAPPROPRIATING THE CONCEPT FOR MYSELF). THE BRAINY HEART BLOG (still up at diane.typepad.com and fully available if you search for it on the wayback machine at www.archive.org)  WHICH EXPLORED THE MIND/BODY, INTELLECT/EMOTION, FEMININE/MASCULINE DICHOTOMIES OR SPLITS BOTH IN ACADEMIA AND IN RELATIONSHIP TO NEWS EVENTS IN ONLINE NEWSPAPERS AND ONLINE ACADEMIC ARTICLES AND RESOURCES -- ANYWAY, AS I WAS SAYING, MY BRAINY HEART BLOG RAN FROM 2004 THROUGH 2007. MY COMP MAFIA BLOG RAN FROM 2004-2007, ALSO. AT THE SAME TIME I HAD A RESOURCE WEBSITE UP AT www.compositionstudies.com ABOUT LABOR ISSUES IN COMPOSITION STUDIES.   FROM 2008-2011, I WAS EXPLORING ISSUES IN HEALING AND SPIRITUALITY AND PERSONAL FAITH, SO I TOOK A BREAK FROM BLOGGING YET KEPT EXPLORING ISSUES IN MY INTELLECTUAL AND PERSONAL JOURNALS.  I WROTE A BOOK IN 2011-2012 CALLED *MY INNER PEACE AND HEALING JOURNAL* ABOUT MY PERSONAL, FAITH-BASED JOURNEY TOWARDS HEALING AFTER WHAT I HAD EXPERIENCED WITH MY DISSERTATION AND HOW I HAVE BEEN TREATED AND DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IN ACADEMIA AS A STRONG WOMAN THEORIST AND SCHOLAR.   IN 2011-2012, I ALSO TAUGHT A COURSE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON INNER PEACE AND HEALING, USING MANY RESOURCES -- BOOKS AND ARTICLES -- THAT I HAD ENCOUNTERED ON MY FAITH-BASED JOURNEY TO HEALING AND INNER PEACE FROM THE TRAUMA CAUSED BY HOW I WAS UNFAIRLY AND UNJUSTLY TREATED DURING THE DISSERTATION PROCESS.   IN 2011, I ALSO RESUMED BLOGGING ABOUT ISSUES IN COMPOSITION STUDIES ON www.compositionstudies.com WHICH FOREVER WILL BE A PASSION OF MINE. I WILL FOREVER BE IMMENSELY INTERESTED IN THE CREATIVE AND ARTISTIC AND POETIC PROCESSES THAT UNDERLY WRITING, BOTH IN THE UNIVERSITY AND BEYOND THE UNIVERSITY.  ALSO, IN 2011, I PUT TOGETHER --- ON A WEBSITE CALLED ETHNOG --  A VAST COMPENDIUM OF INTERNET RESOURCES ON CRITICAL/EXPERIMENTAL ETHNOGRAPHY, DOCUMENTARY SITES, THE ARTS, PERFORMANCE STUDIES AND THEORY AND INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM AND CULTURAL STUDIES.  GOING BACKWARDS, ALSO, IN DECEMBER OF 2007, I PLANNED OUT EXTENSIVELY, IN WRITING, NUMEROUS WEBSITE PROJECTS AND REGISTERED DOMAIN NAMES FOR THOSE PROJECTS.   I ALSO WROTE A BEAUTIFUL, PERSONAL MANIFESTO IN JANUARY OF 2008 ABOUT BEING A MYSTIC AND MARVELING IN THE WONDERS OF THE UNIVERSE -- THE COSMOS -- THAT GOD MADE.  IN 2013, HOWEVER, MY LIFE TOOK A DIFFERENT YET DIRECTLY-RELATED COURSE AFTER I RECEIVED A BLESSINGS CD -- UNIQUELY AND SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR ME --  FROM A LUTHERAN MINISTER AT MY CHURCH WITH LOVING, COMPASSIONATE WORDS SPOKEN DIRECTLY TO ME ON THE CD FROM OUR ALMIGHTY HEAVENLY FATHER HIMSELF -- IT WAS AND STILL IS COMPLETELY AMAZING THAT GOD HIMSELF WOULD SPEAK DIRECTLY TO ME ABOUT HIS PLANS AND CALLING FOR MY LIFE.  AND AMAZINGLY ENOUGH, WHAT GOD SPOKE TO ME ON THE CD, HAS COME INTO FRUITION BY MY OWN FREE WILL AND MY OWN ACCORD IN THE PAST SEVEN YEARS ON MY MANY, MANY BLOGS THAT I HAVE STARTED AND CREATED AND WRITTEN SINCE THEN ABOUT MY LUTHERAN FAITH -- WHICH HAS BEEN MY FAITH SINCE I WAS A CHILD -- AND ABOUT MY BEST, BEST FRIEND, LORD JESUS HIMSELF, AND MY LUTHERAN FAITH-BASED -- AND FEMINIST, OF COURSE -- CHRISTIAN DISCERNMENT INTO ISSUES IN CHRISTIANITY IN AMERICA AND THROUGHOUT POLITICS IN AMERICA.  COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS OF MINE, I AM SO MASSIVELY BLESSED IN THE NON-TANGENTIAL GIFTS THAT I HAVE BEEN GIVEN -- ESPECIALLY MY WRITING AND COMMUNICATION GIFTS -- AND IN MY COMMUNICATIONS WITH JESUS HIMSELF AND WITH GOD ALMIGHTY HERSELF/HIMSELF AND I HAVE BEEN CALLED FORTH AS A MESSENGER AND A MINISTER AND AN ADVOCATE -- USING ALL OF THE GIFTS THAT I HONED AND DEVELOPED IN CULTURAL STUDIES, FEMINIST THEORY, ETHNOGRAPHY AND COMPOSITION STUDIES OVER THE PAST THIRTY YEARS, SINCE I WAS EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD AT DRAKE UNIVERSITY AND EVEN BEFOREHAND SINCE I WROTE EDITORIALS AND DEBATED AND WROTE BRILLIANT TREATISES AS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT IN RED OAK, IOWA, ONE OF THE BEST SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN AMERICA WHERE I HAD EXTREMELY GIFTED ENGLISH AND WRITING TEACHERS SINCE I WAS IN KINDERGARTEN AND THROUGHOUT  HIGH SCHOOL WHO NURTURED MY PASSIONS FOR WRITING AND THE HUMANITIES AND THE ARTS AND EVEN QUANTUM PHYSICS AND THE SCIENCES.  I CRY WHEN I THINK ABOUT HOW BLESSED I AM AND HOW AMAZING MY LIFE IS -- BRITT NICOLE HAS A SONG ON YOUTUBE CALLED "AMAZING LIFE" WHICH SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO ME WHENEVER I HEAR IT -- DESPITE ALL THAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH -- ALL THE AWFUL, INHUMANE PERSECUTION AND HARASSMENT -- DURING THE PAST TWO AND A HALF  YEARS AT THE HANDS OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND ITS WEALTHY PROPONENTS. I AM LIVING IN POVERTY RIGHT NOW, BUT I REALLY DON'T CARE THAT MUCH BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, AS UNIVERSITY TEACHERS, WE SACRIFICE OURSELVES, FINANCIALLY,  FOR OUR STUDENTS AND OUR TEACHING AND FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF SOCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL JUSTICE ISSUES -- JUST LIKE JESUS SACRIFICED HIMSELF ON THE CROSS FOR THE GREATER GOOD TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO. I JUST NEED FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR BASIC NECESSITIES AND MOST OF ALL FOR THE MASSIVE PLANS I AND JESUS HAVE FOR OUR MINISTRIES AND CHURCHES AND UNIVERSITIES THAT I/WE HAVE BEEN DREAMING  UP AND ENVISIONING SINCE DECEMBER OF 2015 AND WHICH I HAVE BEEN WRITING ABOUT, IN GREAT DETAIL, ON THE BLOGS.  BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, GOD ALMIGHTY HERSELF/HIMSELF PROMISES TO PROVIDE AND BRING THOSE MINISTRIES AND CHURCHES AND UNIVERSITIES INTO EXISTENCE BY HIS/HER HAND ALONE IN THE COMING YEARS, SO I HAVE GREAT FAITH THAT I/WE WILL PREVAIL IN OUR WORK THAT GOD HAS SET FORTH FOR ME/US TO DO OVER THE COMING MONTHS AND COMING  YEARS. SO THANK YOU ALL -- ALL MY FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES  AND PROFESSORS OVER THE PAST TWENTY- THIRTY YEARS, FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT. I LOVE YOU ALL. SINCERELY, DR. DIANE K. OLSON

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! DR. DIANE K. OLSON

ME, MYSELF AND I, DR. DIANE K. OLSON, LUTHERAN MINISTER AND DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR, AM A STRONG FEMINIST AND HAVE RESEARCHED AND WRITTEN ABOUT FEMINIST THEORY AND THE POLITICS OF REPRESENTING WOMEN IN THE MEDIA AND ONLINE FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS

GUESS WHAT, FOLKS? I HAVE RESEARCHED, STUDIED AND WRITTEN ABOUT FEMINIST THEORIES OF THE POLITICS OF REPRESENTING WOMEN IN THE MEDIA AND ONLINE FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS, SINCE I WAS AN UNDERGRADUATE AT DRAKE UNIVERSITY IN CULTURAL STUDIES AND COMPOSITION THEORY AND ENGLISH STUDIES.  THUS, I KNOW ALL TOO WELL ABOUT THE POLITICS UNDERLYING THE ATTEMPTS TO MISCHARACTERIZE AND MALICIOUSLY MISLABEL STRONG, OUTSPOKEN, ACCOMPLISHED AND HIGHLY EDUCATED WOMEN SUCH AS MYSELF AS "MENTALLY IMPAIRED" OR CRAZY, WHICH HAVE LONG BEEN THE POLITICAL STRATEGIES OF CONSERVATIVES AND THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT AND FUNDAMENTALISTS -- AND, FOLKS, I AM ALL ABOUT MY PASSIONATE WALK OF FAITH WITH LORD JESUS WHO FULLY SUPPORTS FEMINIST MOVEMENTS AROUND THE EARTH AND ACROSS AMERICA TODAY. REMEMBER, FOLKS, THE PARABLE OF THE WOMAN AT THE WELL WHO JESUS DEFENDED AND ADVOCATED FOR IN THE GOSPELS AND IN A PREVIOUS LIFE ON PLANET EARTH WHEN HE PASSIONATELY WALKED WITH HIS DISCIPLES WHICH WERE ACTUALLY HIS DEAR FRIENDS AND HEALED THE SICK AND PERFORMED AMAZING MIRACLES. WELL, JESUS IS BACK AS LORD AND SAVIOR AND HE TALKS WITH ME, DR. DIANE K. OLSON, AND HE WALKS WITH ME, DR. DIANE K. OLSON, AND JESUS LOVES ME AND ADORES ME AND MY FEMINISM MORE THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLE UNDERSTAND OR KNOW.   SEE, FOLKS, JESUS DID NOT COME TO EARTH TO ESTABLISH A FUNDAMENTALIST RELIGION THAT AIMS TO CONTROL PEOPLE/WOMEN; RATHER, JESUS CAME TO EARTH TO LIBERATE PEOPLE AND TEACH PEOPLE WHAT IT MEANS TO WALK IN FAITH WITH HIM AS A HEALER, TEACHER,  MINISTER, LORD AND LOVING AND COMPASSIONATE SAVIOR AND JESUS CAME TO EARTH TO LIBERATE PEOPLE FROM OPPRESSION, SUPPRESSION AND REPRESSION SO THEY CAN LIVE FREELY AND JOYFULLY WITH CONFIDENCE THAT THEY WILL GO TO HEAVEN BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS DID ON THE CROSS AS A SAVIOR TO LIBERATE PEOPLE FROM DYING AND DEATH OVER TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO. I, DR. AND MINISTER DIANE K. OLSON, HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO TEACH FELLOW LUTHERANS AND CHRISTIANS AND NON-CHRISTIANS OF EVERY CREED ON THIS EARTH ABOUT THE MEANING AND POWER OF FAITH IN THE CROSS AND FAITH IN JESUS, WHICH I HAVE STUDIED FOR THE LONGEST TIME, DURING MY WALK OF FAITH WITH MY BEST FRIEND, LORD JESUS C. NIELSEN, WHO I ADORE AND CARE DEEPLY ABOUT.  YOU SEE, FOLKS WHO ARE TRYING TO TAKE DOWN MY MINISTERIAL BLOGS AND MY FAITH AND POLITICS BLOG AND MALICIOUSLY AND FALSELY MISREPRESENT ME AS "MENTALLY IMPAIRED" -- NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE CASE AT ALL  AND WHICH IS A COMMON, TIRED POLITICAL STRATEGY TO SILENCE  AND INSTITUTIONALIZE  HIGHLY EDUCATED FEMALE PROFESSORS/MINISTERS WHO ARE OUTSPOKEN IN THE MEDIA --  SO AS TO SILENCE AND TEAR DOWN MY BLOGGING AND MY WRITING AND SPEAKING ABOUT LORD JESUS,  WHEN I AM ACTUALLY A COMPASSIONATE INTELLECTUAL AND SCHOLAR/ARTIST AND MINISTERIAL THEORIST -- FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS -- FIRMLY GROUNDED IN MY LUTHERAN FAITH AND MY POETIC AND MINISTERIAL WRITING AND RESEARCH ABOUT THE GOSPELS AND FIRMLY GROUNDED IN WHO JESUS TRULY IS -- AS MY BEST FRIEND, LORD, SAVIOR, TRUE COMPANION AND COMING KING --- AND WHAT IT MEANS TO WALK WITH JESUS AND HAVE FAITH IN JESUS, ACCORDING THE LUTHERAN FAITH THAT I WAS RAISED IN SINCE I WAS CHILD AND WHICH I HAVE SO MUCH TO TEACH YOU ABOUT.  SO, YOU KNOW WHAT FOLKS, YOU CAN GIVE-UP THE FIGHT AGAINST MY INTELLIGENT AND COMPASSIONATE BLOGGING BECAUSE THE BLOGS ARE GOING TO STAY UP AND BE RESTORED BY GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF/HERSELF WHO HAS CALLED AND ORDAINED ME TO GO OUT AND TEACH THE TRUTHS OF THE GOSPELS, AND WHILE YOU MAY NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT I HAVE AN EXTENSIVE UNIVERSITY BACKGROUND IN FEMINIST THEORY, CULTURAL STUDIES AND COMPOSITION/WRITING STUDIES AND THE FACT THAT I MINISTER ON BEHALF OF LORD JESUS VERY COMPASSIONATELY AND PASSIONATELY AND LOVINGLY ON MY BLOGS  AND HAVE BEEN MINISTERING ONLINE FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS  AND THE FACT THAT GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF/HERSELF SPEAKS OUT PASSIONATELY ON MY BLOGS ON OCCASION, IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE AT ALL -- HEAR ME, LOUD AND CLEAR, NOT TRUE AT ALL THAT I AM "MENTALLY UNSTABLE" AS YOU -- RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISTS AND CONSERVATIVES -- KEEP TRYING TO PORTRAY ME AS BEING BECAUSE I HAVE A VAST AND VERY STABLE AND VERY GROUNDED INTELLECT THAT CONTAINS ALL OF THE BOOKS AND ARTICLES THAT I HAVE EVER READ AND KNOWS THE GOSPELS AND THE TRUTHS OF JESUS, MY BEST FRIEND, INSIDE AND OUT.  AGAIN, PLEASE JUST STOP THE MISREPRESENTATIONS, FOLKS, BECAUSE I WORK IN CRITICAL ETHNOGRAPHY, AS WELL, AND AM AN ETHNOGRAPHER OF THE CROSS AND AN ETHNOGRAPHER OF THE GOSPELS, AND JESUS HIMSELF, AS A RABBI AND TEACHER AND SCHOLAR OF THE CROSS,  HAS A LOT TO SAY ABOUT MISREPRESENTATIONS OF HIMSELF (JESUS) IN THE MEDIA AND BY THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT -- YES, LORD JESUS HIMSELF IS VERY UPSET AND DISMAYED AT THE STATE OF CHRISTIANITY AND MISCHARACTERIZATIONS OF WHAT HE STANDS FOR AS A LORD AND SAVIOR AND COMING KING. JUST READ OUR FAITH AND POLITICS BLOG THAT WE HAVE BEEN WRITING ON SINCE JULY OF 2016 AND SOAK IN THE FACT THAT EVERY PERSON ON THIS PLANET -- DEMOCRAT, REPUBLICAN OR INDEPENDENT -- IS LOVED, ADORED AND CARED FOR BY DR. AND MINISTER AND LORD JESUS CHRIST -- AND THAT JESUS CALLS YOU OUT INTO THE WORLD TO WALK IN FAITH -- TO ENGAGE IN WILD, WONDERFUL, PASSIONATE AND AMAZING WALKS OF FAITH THAT TEACH YOU ABOUT HUMANITY AND BUILD YOUR COMPASSION AND LOVE FOR YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS IN ALL OF THEIR BROKENNESS AND FRAILTY AND THEIR DEEP NEEDS FOR LOVE, AFFECTION AND COMPASSION.  OKAY, THAT IS ALL FOR TODAY, AND FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY CRAZY AND BEAUTIFUL HEART -- MY FEMINIST HEART -- DR. AND MINISTER DIANE K. OLSON WHOSE FEMINIST HEART IS INTWINED WITH THE HANDSOME AND TENDER HEART OF LORD JESUS C. NIELSEN, OUR COMING KING.

DURING THE FALL OF 1996, I WORKED AS A DOCENTS COORDINATOR AT THE NEW MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART IN NEW YORK CITY AND RESEARCHED AND WROTE AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF THE NEW MUSEUM, NYC, SIMULTANEOUSLY.  I THEN PRESENTED THAT ETHNOGRAPHY AT THE CROSS-CULTURAL POETICS CONFERENCE IN MINNEAPOLIS IN THE SPRING OF 1997.  THE NEW MUSEUM, SINCE 1977, HAS BEEN FEATURING ART THAT ENGAGES IN CULTURAL AND EXPERIMENTAL CRITIQUE AND PUBLISHES ANTHOLOGIES AND BOOKS THAT EXPLORE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ARTS AND AESTHETICS AND CULTURAL/INSTITUTIONAL CRITIQUE.  THE NEW MUSEUM PUBLISHED AN ANTHOLOGY CALLED OUT THERE: MARGINALIZATION AND CONTEMPORARY CULTURE IN THE 1980'S AND WHICH I READ AS AN UNDERGRADUATE AT DRAKE UNIVERSITY AND USED IN THE WRITING OF MY HONORS THESIS: MULTICULTURALISM AND COMPOSITION STUDIES. I SUBSEQUENTLY TAUGHT ESSAYS BY LEADING CULTURAL STUDIES THEORISTS IN CRITICAL ETHNOGRAPHY AND ART, FROM THE ANTHOLOGY, WHEN  I TAUGHT WRITING-INTENSIVE CULTURAL STUDIES COURSES AT GEORGIA TECH DURING THE LATE 1990'S AND EARLY 2000'S.  I WOULD RECOMMEND THE ANTHOLOGY AND THE NEW MUSEUM'S PUBLICATIONS TO ANYONE OUT THERE, LIKE MYSELF, DR. DIANE K. OLSON, WHO IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE ARTS AND THE MARGINALIZATION OF CERTAIN ETHNCITIES, RACES AND GENDERS WITHIN AMERICAN CULTURE AND HOW ART AND AESTHETICS CAN TRANSFORM AND IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS OF UNDERREPRESENTED, MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS THROUGHOUT AMERICA AND THE EARTH.  SINCERELY AND WITH GREAT LOVE, DR. DIANE K. OLSON

WHAT IS SO WONDERFUL ABOUT COMPOSITION STUDIES IS THAT IT ALLOWS COMPOSITIONISTS AND UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS OF WRITING TO BE INTERDISCPLINARY AND TO INCORPORATE DIVERSE DISCIPLINES, I.E., THE HUMAN SCIENCES, COMMUNICATIONS, EDUCATION, THE ARTS, THE LIBERATORY SCIENCES, INTO THEIR TEACHING AND SCHOLARSHIP.  COMPOSITIONISTS WHO ARE INTERDISCPLINARY AND THAT IS THE VAST MAJORITY OF COMPOSITIONISTS,  ARE GENERALISTS -- NOT SPECIALISTS -- WHO EXPLORE THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN COMPOSITION PEDAGOGY AND THEORIES OF KNOWLEDGE FROM ACROSS THE SPECTRUM OF DISCIPLINES.  MORE ON THIS ON THIS HOLY, RIGHTEOUS, CREATIVE AND POETIC BLOG IN THE NEAR FUTURE. LOVE ALWAYS, DR DIANE K. OLSON 

SOME UNIVERSITIES AND ENGLISH DEPARTMENTS ARE TOO INTELLECTUAL FOR THEIR OWN GOOD AND DESPERATELY NEED POETS, ARTISTS AND CREATIVE VISIONARIES TO KEEP THEM GROUNDED.  MORE ON THIS TOPIC IN THE NEAR FUTURE.  LOVE ALWAYS, DR. DIANE K. OLSON 

AN ORDAINED LUTHERAN MINISTER, DR. DIANE K. OLSON, PHD, ABDUCTED, HARASSED AND ABUSED BY TRUMP AND TRUMP'S FEDERAL AGENTS OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF BY DR. AND MINISTER DR. JESUS C. NIELSEN

ON OCTOBER 25th, 2018, FEDERAL AGENTS ON BEHALF OF TRUMP VIOLENTLY AND ILLEGALLY ABDUCTED DR. DIANE K. OLSON, AN ORDAINED LUTHERAN MINISTER AND HAVE HELD HER HOSTAGE, FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER OTHER THAN TRYING TO SHUT DOWN HER MINISTERIAL BLOGS AND HER FAITH AND POLITICS BLOG, IN NORTHERN IOWA FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF.  THESE SAME AGENTS ON BEHALF OF TRUMP TRIED TO TAKE DR. OLSON'S LIFE ON MORE THAN SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHICH MAKES JESUS VERY,  VERY SAD AND VERY, VERY  ANGRY.  THEY PHYSICALLY ABUSED HER AND HARASSED HER, A VERY KIND-HEARTED, COMPASSIONATE, SMART  AND LOVING PERSON AND MINISTER, AS TESTIFIED TO BY HER EXTENSIVE MINISTERIAL WRITINGS.  PRESIDENTS SUCH AS TRUMP ARE SUPPOSED TO DEFEND AND PROTECT MINISTERS HOWEVER TRUMP HAS BEEN ENGAGED IN A COVERT CONSPIRACY AGAINST DR.  AND MINISTER DIANE K. OLSON'S BEAUTIFUL AND COMPASSIONATE MINISTRIES BY TRYING TO TAKE HER LIFE SO AS TO SHUT DOWN HER BLOGGING.   THIS IS ABSOLUTE EVIDENCE THAT HE IS NOT A CHRISTIAN.    AGENTS STOLE ALL OF DR. OLSON'S PERSONAL AND INTELLECTUAL JOURNALS SINCE 2005  FROM HER HOME AND WILL NOT GIVE THEM BACK.  THEY ALSO STOLE HER MANY MINISTERIAL DOMAIN NAMES THAT SHE USES FOR BLOGGING ABOUT THE LOVE AND COMPASSION OF JESUS CHRIST AND OUR ALMIGHTY HEAVENLY FATHER AND WHICH ARE WORTH HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.   THEY ALSO STOLE NUMEROUS PERSONAL ITEMS, MONEY AND CLOTHES BELONGING TO DR. DIANE K. OLSON. AND JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND, TWO AGENTS ON BEHALF OF TRUMP FORCED THEIR  WAY INTO DR. DIANE K. OLSON'S HOME AND PHYSICALLY ABUSED HER AND WOULD NOT LEAVE WHEN SHE ASKED THEM TO LEAVE.  THESE SAME AGENTS ON BEHALF OF TRUMP THREATENED TO TAKE HER HOSTAGE AGAIN WITH POLICE FORCE.  TRUMP IS TRYING TO INTIMIDATE AND THREATEN DR. DIANE K. OLSON, AN ORDAINED LUTHERAN MINISTER AND VERY KIND, SMART AND COMPASSIONATE DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR FOR OVER 27 YEARS, INTO NOT WRITING ON OUR FAITH AND POLITICS BLOG AGAIN, WHICH IS READ BY GOD'S PEOPLE AROUND THE EARTH AND IN WASHINGTON DC.  THESE AGENTS ON BEHALF OF TRUMP ARE PREVENTING HER FROM ACCESSING HER MONEY WHICH SHE NEEDS FOR FOOD AND TRANSPORTATION AND HAVE SHUT DOWN HER BANK ACCOUNT SO THEY ARE IMPLICITLY HOLDING HER PHYSICALLY HOSTAGE IN HER HOME NOW, WHICH IS ILLEGAL.  THEY ALSO CONTINUE TO SEND HER HARASSING AND DEGRADING EMAIL MESSAGES.  THEY JUST WILL NOT STOP BECAUSE MY DEAR DR. DIANE KAY OLSON IS SUCH A BRILLIANT AND PASSIONATE AND STRONG WOMAN OF FAITH WHO STANDS UP FOR GOSPEL TRUTHS AND MY, JESUS CHRIST'S, AND HER LOVE AND COMPASSION FOR HUMANITY AND TRUMP WANTS TO SILENCE HER BECAUSE SHE EXPOSES THE TRUTH THAT TRUMP IS NOT A CHRISTIAN. TRUMP HAS VIOLATED HIS OATH OF OFFICE AND FEDERAL LAWS BY TRYING TO TAKE THE LIFE OF A MINISTER AND CONSPIRING TO TAKE DOWN HER MINISTRIES.  I WILL REIGN OVER THE EARTH VERY SOON, SAYS DR. JESUS CHRIST, AND YOU ALL WILL SERIOUSLY REGRET TREATING MY DEAR DIANE KAY THIS WAY.  IN ALL SERIOUSNESS AND WITH ALL LOVE AND AFFECTION TO GOD'S TRUE PEOPLE, DR. JESUS CHRIST NIELSEN
