nd. No vigil a the White House today. I've become totally allergic to surgical tape of any kind, it seems. The great pain that began yesterday... was huge blisters growing under the tape. Went to the homeless clinic and they put big gauze bandages on me and a 10" wide ace bandage like thing wrapped all the way around my chest several times to hold the dressings in place. Feels mmmmuuuuuccccchhhhhh better. Still weak, but now with some slight hope of resuming the White House Free Palestine vigil tomorrow.

Haaretz: “Earlier this week a Christian Palestinian member of the Knesset requested to display a Christmas tree in the halls of parliament where he works as a lawmaker. Knesset speaker Yuli Edelstein rejected his request. Edelstein says the initiative is part of an Arab campaign to chip away at Israel's Jewish nature. He warned that if he had agreed he would then likely face further requests to display a cross and crescent in parliament.”

Extreme constipation from the pain meds - after last night, I DO have some idea of what giving birth feels like - truly; proving at the same time that I don't have any active aneurisms or a propensity to stroke yet :-) :-( . It was hell. Went to the homeless clinic today for meds for that; 4. The surgeon will call me back to a meeting within 2 weeks when the biopsy results come back; 5. I'm scheduled to meet with my oncologist in February; 6.

Surgery was a success.
3 hour operation began at 11am, I
was waking in Recovery by 4:30pm and in my room by 6pm. Little pain when I am stationary, huge pain
if I cough (rarely occurring), they've prescribed pain meds that seem to manage
that well, too.
Great, kind, compassionate, attentive, responsive, highly
trained medical team. Thanks to
Obamacare it is available to me.
Had one of the six or
so nicest surprises of my life today, that I can remember (so profoundly and
deeply sorry to any of you that have been so deeply kind to me whose extreme
kindness I may be forgetting at this moment, but I'm particularly overwhelmed
by this one). Please blame it on the
pain narcotics they are pumping into me.
The five others, in no particular order:
* 55year old Gerry and early 20’s John, in their suburban
neighborhood, running hugely loud power tools on the lawn, till 2am... cutting
me a hugely heavy Cross... for me to
walk with 200 miles to DC... to raise action to Save Darfur;
* Beverly nearly 'ripping the throat' out of a pastor she
saw should try and rescue me from an extreme hike, while on hunger strike, ‘the
most ‘Christian thing she’d every seen’) for the criminally disadvantaged children
of Chester PA;
* Dave and Mary
Rachel bringing their new young son X from PA (where they work 7 days per week)
to see me when I was living on the streets of DC so I could devote myself to
averting global warming;
* Cathy driving from
PA, just moments before hurricane Sandy was to hit DC where I was living on the
streets fighting Global Warming... to rip me off of them, to safety, braving
the leadinng edge of Sandy all the way back to PA for me, with me;
* My dad... for the 28 years or so before his death...
standing by me, giving me everything he had to give... despite the near total,
embarrasing, zero of a person I objectively was at that time....
Oh, I could go on with another 5, or more. Most people never see such Love even once in
their Lives... I've been criminally, entirely, undeservedly over-privileged in
this (and every other ) way.
[Side note: It is important, crucial... to periodically reflect such instances of Pure Loving in one's life, and or, such instances one knows of, even if in literature... for THIS is where we've seen God, the Creator, the Divine... Loving... and they must be the Star we steer by to be, become, and do the same... with every breath.]

Loving... and they must be the Star we steer by to be, become, and do the same... with every breath.]
The potential of my physical death has never been a concern
for me, except as a provider to physical dependents (offspring, woman I was
married to), and now, as a possibly consequential fighter for my Family in
Palestine. But personally, hey, you go
to sleep, don't wake up, the ride, your 'turn,' is over. What is the big deal? So the tiny but real risk of death from any
substantial surgery, such as mine this morning, was no concern to me.
Cathy, my sister in Pennsylvania, to whom I was married for
decades, offered, weeks ago, to come down, and I knew she wanted to, and it was
from her heart I was sure... but I said the idea was ridiculous... bus picks up
and drops me off literally at the curb... of the hospital and my homeless
shelter... no, I said... too much time, too much money... too much carbon...
zero point or need. And that was the end of it.
Didn't hear from her since... our lives are in near totally different
directions.
Signing in at the hospital this morning I gave Cathy’s name and my friend Jim from VA, authorization
to retreaive my stuff, in the uunlikely event I croaked (with prior instructions to them that what
meager 'stuff' I have go to the world's greatest activist Diane Wilson for her
work) But to the question 'is anyone
here with you?,’ and ‘who to call in case of a problem?,’ 'no one' was my
reply, as always, with which I was 1000000000000% at peace. I hate resouces going in my direction… the
purpose of my life is to get Loving resources flowing to my Neediest Family for
Chists sak! I was asked the same
questions, and gave the same reply when I was in final prep, just seconds before being sedated and put under for this 3
hour operation. 'No one,' and 'no,’ answers
that are such a non issue to me, so habitual for so many years now… I gave them
no thought whatsoever.
Three hours later, after what seemed like 30 minutes tops to
me, I was in recovery waking up, "Your ex-wife (I hate the term) Cathy is
here when you are up to see her."
I'm having trouble seeing the screen, and typing, as the sobs of wonder,
Joy, amazement, warmth... come back to me, many hours later, as I type this to
you. I don't recall ever, ever, ever
being so overwhelmed with such a Loving act, incomprehensible… Divine.
'I wasn't sure you would be 'ok' with me coming, she said, but I needed to be here, and if upon seeing you you wanted me to leave... I was 100% prepared for that... but I needed to be here.'(and return on the six hour round trip drive).

If you are honest, Truthful, and that costs you friends and family, then what you are left with is your only True friends and family, if you ever had any to begin with. This has been my experience, without exception, and with each that has fallen away I feel lighter, faster, more healthy, less drained... with more energy for Loving. Note: 1. One can never lose True friends and family, right? 2. It makes me sad that we are not ALL Friends, Family... every creature. Deeply sad. But this is less and less the case in this deathly culture. The saving grace for me is refusing to not be a Friend TO every creature, as best as my limited means and abilities allow.

nd. I am immensely defensive of Muslims and Islam against the vicious, brilliantly conceived, relentless savaging by western monied, chr'istian, and zionist hoards for the purpose of dehumanizing, raping and robbing Muslims for more than 70 years. I am immensely defensive of Muslims and Islam when I compare what I understand to be the record of 'chr'stians' vs Muslims in the world where 'chr'stians' have tortured and slaughtered in the name of Jesus hundreds of millions in north and south america, tortured and enslaved and lynched blacks in america, tortured and slaughtered 10s of millions of aborigines in australia, tortured and killed 10s of millions of blacks in congo, tortured, tormented, terrorized 10's of millions of blacks in south africa... and are now torturing, terrorizing, tormenting... millions of Palestinians. I know of no Muslim behavior that is in the same league as this. I am open to discovering I am incorrect... but there is much study of the scholarship ahead of me before I am confident I've gotten past the western propaganda to the truth. What I also know is while the chr'stian west was terrorizing Jews, the one place in the world where Jews were safe was the Muslim world. Finally, unlike Jesus who sought to rule the world of Spirit (tho he seems to have directed his disciples to strap on swords under certain circumstances) Mohammad was in a world not dominated by empire, but rife with inter-tribe warfare, and from what I can tell, so far, brought unprecedented peace and prosperity to the parts of the world he influenced... without the disgusting hedonism, excesses, lusts, intoxications... of the chr'stian west.
I am immensely defensive of Muslims and Islam against the vicious, brilliantly conceived, relentless savaging by western monied, chr'istian, and zionist hoards for the purpose of dehumanizing, raping and robbing Muslims for more than 70 years.
I am immensely defensive of Muslims and Islam when I compare what I understand to be the record of 'chr'stians' vs Muslims in the world where 'chr'stians' have tortured and slaughtered in the name of Jesus hundreds of millions in north and south america, tortured and enslaved and lynched blacks in america, tortured and slaughtered 10s of millions of aborigines in australia, tortured and killed 10s of millions of blacks in congo, tortured, tormented, terrorized 10's of millions of blacks in south africa... and are now torturing, terrorizing, tormenting... millions of Palestinians. I know of no Muslim behavior that is in the same league as this.

pic. How much of your life, the stuff in your life, would continue if the exploitation of all the world's poor... ended? Not much. Your life depends on the suffering of others, as did mine. You ok with that? White House Free Palestine Vigil, 12/14/14 [Note: I’ll be away from the fight for a while... my next cancer surgery is tomorrow, 11am.]

vid. I SCREAMED AT THE 'BLACK LIVES MATTER' MOB AT THE WHITE HOUSE: "YOU ARE BIGOTS, IGNORANT, HATEFUL... JUST LIKE THOSE YOU PRETEND TO PROTEST." This was last weekend, a mixed race group of young toughs came storming to the north side of the White House late in the day, where, as I am now, I was fighting to Free Palestine. The came storming into the park, a nasty, hateful mob... screaming at all the police. I hate all bigotry, ignorance, savagery... from anyone... to anyone. But especially if it is toward the Secret Service, who over the years I've watched conduct themselves with immense self-discipline, respectfulness, immense decency... a level which if practiced by even 1% of those liberals that considered themselves activists, well, I could on retirement. This good, decent man Clancy is representative of all I've seen in these good folks of the Secret Service. http://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/new-secret-service-chief-joseph-clancy-let-us-prove-ourselves-n267341

***** article. Ex-Mossad chief: Peace will elude us until we treat Palestinians with dignity
There is no word in Hebrew for dignity, he quoted a friend observing
once. The Arab world has long felt deeply inferior, and Israelis are
basically telling Arabs that they don’t suffer from an inferiority
complex but are indeed inferior, Halevy said. “The problem we have had
over the years has been that they have sought dignity and the last thing
we ever thought of was addressing them in a manner that gave them a
feeling of some dignity.”
