Rape

The term 'rape' has been bandied about lately in the press. By the very definition of the word it means a 'forced action' against someone else. Its origin is from the Latin 'rapere' meaning to seize of carry off by force. In another sense, it means an act of plunder, violent seizure or abuse; despoliation; violation: the rape of the countryside [dictionary.com]. The key to the use of the word is violent force. What do the banks do to us every day when they financially rape us? They force us to pay made up fees and charges that bolster their bottom line while they are using our monies to make excessive fortunes that are bled off as CEO 'bonuses'. Now, when these CEO's inflict these excessive fees and charges it, in effect, is creating the source of their 'bonuses'. They are complicit in 'raping' all of us! The greed of "I'm going to get mine" at the expense of decent hard working people who are just making the bills is deplorable! It is selfishness at its peak. Call your representatives and demand regulations of fees and charges in the banking industry. If you don't, your hard earned dollars will be supporting a 'fat cat's ' lifestyle while you eat oatmeal to survive. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

Government

Government has its functions and it is the conservative agenda to bring it down by just them working in it. That way they can control everything, everybody and pocket the goodies. Evil, despicable and totally corruptible. Their time is coming to an end. The Spirit of God is complete command and evil will reap what it sows. Allow the spirit to move through you to bring peace and justice to all of the world. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

Knowing

If we truly knew who we are we wouldn't even wonder or worry about death at all. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

After returning to Delaware in 1989, he functioned as keyboardist, manager, and producer for the SMI Music label's recording artist Steve Miceli, whose CD "A Step Away" was released in 1992.

Dean's management experience was derived from his work with Frank Zappa's one time manager Bennett Glotzer, where he worked on the radio promotion staff. He learned a great deal about public relations from his work with Jo Ann Geffen's firm. In the past he managed a former Motown great Antonio L. Newton (Tony Williams Lifetime, Smokey Robinson, G-Force (w/Gary Moore), and Thelma Houston). His past roster has included Miya Williams, Suzanne Oliver, Erin DeVore, Mary Archer, Steve Miceli, Dawn Platt of Tempting Fate, and co-management with Rick Dougherty of Hannon Tramp.

Branching out, Dean spoke on pursuing your dreams at a Mind, Body & Spirit Festival in San Diego, CA.

All in all, Dean has performed at a high caliber in the music industry. After relocating to Delaware in 1989, Dean formed a local music magazine called Music From the Ledge. During his tenure with the magazine as Editor-in-Chief, Dean interviewed such notables as Dio, Extreme, King's X, and Kansas. In the early 90's Dean was writing songs and soundtrack material for the United Kingdom based company, SMI Music.

During the late 90's, Dean designed and built a full service audio/video complex called the MultiMedia Mall, a consortium of graphics, web design, and audio/video production. Applying his understanding of multimedia production, Dean started a parallel career path as a Webmaster at the turn of the century.
