“Blacks in America have lived with terrorism for centuries”: Monstrous history at the heart of the Charleston massacre

***** I feel kinship with infants, toddlers. I feel a kinship with worms, snakes, dolphins, mosquitoes, trees, grass, sea urchins ... There are very few human teens or adults with which I feel kinship. There are a few, but it is very few. Certainly not with the middle or upper classes in any country, nor those who aspire thereto. Never have, never will. I always have, but more and more, I understand life as inseparable from soul, and the middle and upper classes and those who aspire thereto have unwittingly lost, sold, their souls.... Pretty much only with those whose lives are devoted to the global neediest.

***** breathtaking humanity and sanity. Jon Stewart calls Charleston massacre a ‘terrorist attack
***** This is American terrorism: White supremacy’s brutal, centuries-long campaign of violence
***** YOU. US. Pope lays climate guilt at feet of rich
***** Awareness of the poor—so absent from most of what we read and hear all day—permeates the encyclical from start to finish. The earth itself is celebrated as “among the most abandoned and maltreated of our poor.” Here the pope has come into the fullness of his name—Francis. So simple a name, and yet rejected by every pope until now. Francis encyclical on the environment.

Lip service from liberals is more of the same snake oil that has now all but drowned to death any future worth living.

Regarding President Obama and TPP... Obama deliberately threw the game. : The following is important because intellectual honesty is a pre-requisite to the potential of being a positive force for good. Although TPP is one of the final straws causing me to replace my respect for Obama with contempt ... Intellectual honesty forces me to recognize the following: virtually all that I have seen in the first 5 years of this man's presidency tells me that although it is possible he was never the profoundly good man that I had thought he was, what is more likely than that he was corrupt all along, or is corrupt now, is that he deliberately threw the TPP game. Yes, I cannot piece together all the reasons, but the obvious political blunders at his feet these recent months on TPP are grossly uncharacteristic of the political brilliance and profound competence he has demonstrated up until now. The most likely scenario is that he deliberately threw the TPP game and had planned to do so all along.
***** The central purpose of money is to separate us from the existential need of Solidarity with our fellow creatures. Hence money is the consummate evil, the consummate corruptor, by its very nature, the ultimately destructive cancer of all life.

Wow wow wow wow wow. If this is legit, this could be a game changer. Video. Trailer. The Stanford Prison Experiment.
***** The very existence of Zionist Israel in every respect depends, ever since the instant it was conceived in the late 1800's, on the obliteration of Judeo/Christian ethics, the rule of Just Law, and all sane notions of human decency that have taken thousand of years to establish. This is obvious, historical record, now, plain as day, for everyone even remotely interested in verifiable Truth to see. (Oh, by the way, we have let them all but finish the job.) http://Start-Loving.blogspot.com

I want legislation requiring the President of the United States, not some kid in Iowa, to personally pull the trigger on every drone kill. The kid can fly it, but the President, watching on the High Resolution monitor, has to Personally Fire the missile, or drop the bomb. Oh, and he/she has to watch the impact and results, high res. F'ing coward, f'ing murderer... Obama.
Don't be the coward I was. I devoted near 30 years to a partnership with the most blindingly talented person imaginable... and only after all that time faced that I couldn't think of a year, month, week,day, hour or minute..., literally, actually, truly... when that individual was devoted to me, my needs, my goals, my joy, my wellbeing........
The US government cavalierly, aggressively, moralistically demands the right of collateral damage in its various wars of corporate corporate conquest inside America and around the world . But they deny the right, the same right, to allowable collateral damage by Constitution defending courageous patriotic citizen whistleblowers like Snowden? I don't think that is democracy I don't think that is rule of law. duh

Stop watching Hillary's lips and look at what she and Bill have done to the American people. Look. Look. Look. With their four hands they have done more to destroy, and transfer power and wealth to the elites, then Reagan Bush and Shrub combined.

History repeats itself
2015 fundamentalist Christian America is just like 1939 Germany before it.
A census of Nazi Germany in May 1939, six years into the Nazi era, and incorporating the annexation of mostly Catholic Austria into Germany, indicates that 54% considered themselves Protestant (including non-denominational Christians), and 40% Catholic.

I am wearing a diaper. Ever since the onset of cancer 3 years ago I have had a horribly unstable bowel. My choice is to stay indoors or to wear a diaper and fight for Palestine. Tuesday I forgot the diaper, had to walk across Washington on business and needed to spend 45 minutes in a Whole Foods restroom cleaning up.
The people that do not make negative posts, and or object to them, are in pathological denial how dire the future is in every aspect, primarily due exactly to that pathological denial.

The reason that virtually everyone that has ever gotten close to me, leaves, it's because after some time, a very long time often, they realize that I really am who I say I am. Sometimes it takes them a long time before they understand. For the longest time people always find it inconceivable that I really who I say I am. Amazing.

From almost literally my earliest recollections I was a raging sexaholic, thinking it a virtue given the culture in which I was raised, American, Disney, Hollywood, mass media, Wall Street suburb... Culture. My culture, our culture, taught me this was virtue and I thought it was. Only by about 14 years ago could I finally see, and more importantly feel, experience, that I was living a grotesque-feeling addiction, addictive life, simply the life our sickest of all cultures teaches us is normal, healthy, desirable, exciting, good, appropriate.... I thought I was living a life of love. Primarily I was living a life of lust. I would trade any moment then for the life, the sexless life EXPERIENCE, that I have now. ANY OR ALL of my pitiful existance of lustings, then, for more moments of my life of Loving, now.
***** The price of facing and living the truth in this society is so total, materially, that virtually no one, probably including you, chooses to do it. Truth is God. God is truth. As Gandhi explicitly recognized. Consequently, neither any of us, or our all powerful culture, are living in alignment with Creator, doing the will of Creator, rather we live opposite. This is why all is coming to an end now.

Dire warning to those that think that the right-wing reactionary reversals we are seeing today, like that mentioned below, those who think this is an aberration, please heed the following: I too was clueless that we could go so radically backward. Look up United States reconstruction after the Civil War. His name escapes me at the moment, Columbia University I think, a professor that is a world noted authority on the subject. That is, if you are not as clueless on the subject as almost all of us are. I am learning recently that reconstruction was a breathtaking time radical social justice. And within 20 years the counter revolutionary forces had virtually completely reverse the good that had been done and that was intended. That is exactly what we see repeating itself now and the evil is just as likely to prevail now as it did then.
