nd. nd. If you were not born yet, would you want to be born into the 2015 world, with its dystopian future? Not me. No way in Hell. 1. Get out of Amerikka... go to Scandinavia if you are young. 2. DON'T HAVE CHILDREN. 3. DO WHAT YOU CAN RESPONSIBLY TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS THE MERCY OF ABSTAINING FROM HAVING CHILDREN, AS WELL.

nd. I just saw an article briefly about an upcoming conference to reduce the threat of a nuclear holocaust. I can think of nothing more merciful for humanity now than a global, thorough, total, nuclear holocaust, extinguishing everyone, everywhere, instantly. I can't. The near universal, inescapable suffering currently assured for us is beyond unbearable. (The only 'escape' will the 'transport,' 'Salvation,' to the Creator's Kingdom, for those 1 in a million in every faith and no faith at all that respond to the horror by moving into that part of ourselves which is Universal Loving - Serving the neediest, from the Soul, in Solidarity. Their material world will be Hell but their experiential, psychological, Spiritual world will be Heaven, Joy, Loving, total Peace of Heart.)

***** A note to my dearest.....

A note to my dearest, shared with the few others who are, or were,

close to me as well.

This will sound sooooooooooooooo paranoid.

People like me sounded reallllllllllly paranoid:

*  Before the crash of 1929(?)

*  Before the takeover by Hitler

*  Before Nov 1947 when the faux-jews that had been taken

in lovingly by Palestinians showed themselves as the savage

unhuman Raptors they were....

I was pretty bed-ridden all day today with this cold in its

third week, but tonight and the two days prior I've been deeply

studying Chris Hedges, clearly the greatest, most prepared,

most grounded, most trained, most educated, most widely read,

most compassionate, most courageous, most experienced (war

correspondent for the NYT for 15 years during the revolutions in

south american, eastern europe, middle east.....

He made a comment, just a comment, in these hours I've been watching

online, but it hit me like a lightening bolt, the truth, and profound

impact.  'We are headed toward a massive devaluing of the currency,

near certainly, like has happened in the world at other times in

history... where it will take wheelbarrows of money to buy a loaf

of bread. 

My point?  Keep this possibility in mind.  Just keep it in mind.  Yes,

if you do, it will worry you and that is a minus, but when it comes, you

will be better psychologically prepared for it. 

I suspect what it will mean for you is that you and your extended family

will come physically together and live together and by pooling your

resources, 'survive,' better than most.

You cheat yourself if you do not at least watch the video I sent the other

day, from min 15.30 all to the end, several times if needed, and even

then research further.  

http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2015/02/vid-chris-hedges-myth-of-progress-and.html

I am not chastising you, telling you what to do,

trying to shame you into it....  The chances that within the next 10 years

the middle class ship, ocean liner, you live on does not change hugely

for the negative are very low.  I think you are better off facing it now,

than having the entire shock of it come on you all at once.

((((HUGS))))

***** Given the inexpressible, not-to-be-stopped, horror of a 'future' that we are every second allowing to be unleashed on Amerika and the world, THE MOST MORAL ACT I can think of is the responsible attempt to stop the birthing of new children into this soon undeniable, inescapable living Hell. The most IMMORAL, CRUEL, SELFISH, HATEFUL, UNFORGIVABLE act I can think of is to bring a new life into this unfolding HELL. FOR THE SAKE OF THESE UNBORN SOULS... THINK... OF THEM, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR THEM.

ADDITIONALLY:  Any young person with children for whom it is remotely possible should work toward moving abroad... NOT to Canada which is just a few years now behind Amerikkka in the race toward Totalitarianism, but to Scandinavia (well, that is if you are Caucasian.)

***** vid. Chris Hedges: The Myth of Progress and the Collapse of Complex Societies..... If you ever wanted to know to the next level what forces have been acting on me, and that I've been responding to, I've just seen, and you could see them too, in this long, dry, BRILLIANT, PROPHETIC video.

If you ever wanted to know to the next level what forces have been acting on me, and that I've been responding to, I've just seen, and you could see them too, in this long, dry, BRILLIANT, PROPHETIC video.  I feel forces years, decades, before I can identify what they are.  This is a gift I leaned to trust  and follow many decades ago.  Chris Hedges, who I consider the Greatest intellectual  of our age, has allowed himself to feel and respond to the same forces... but has devoted  decades starting much earlier than I, to academically understanding what is going on.

3 years ago my body just started acting broken.  I assumed it was 'old age' and the   abuse from my Radical Service choices.  About 2 years ago Doc Cardile and others began showing  me 'academically' what was going on.  Monday, only this Monday, I came to understand it  at the level of 'stage 4 cancer possibly in remission.'

In watching this video just now I feel like I've just had the 'medical team' explain technically,  academically, comprehensively, what has been 'going on' with my life for the last 15 years or so.

I am NOT asking you to watch it.  That's entirely up to you.

I've come across it because while my health and the weather are forcing me indoors I'm  taking a deep dive on study in a range of related subjects, and Chis Hedges is at the forefront of people that have done much of the intellectual work I need to profit from.  

Note: I did NOT bother with the intro to this vid.  Chris begins at about 15:30.

***** WOW. '“We don’t read anymore,” Goldman said. “We don’t learn anymore. History is disappearing. People talk about living in the moment as if it is a virtue. It is a horrible vice. Between the twitterverse and the 24-hour cable news cycle our history keeps disappearing. History is something boring that you had to endure in high school and then you are rid of it. Then you go to college and study finance, accounting, business management or computer science. There are damn few liberal arts majors left. And this has erased our history....' [Brilliant article: Two fatal flaws: 1. Empire is not the problem. The problem is the hearts of the victims that allowing Empire is worth prostituting themselves for to pay, whether they are at the top, bottom, or in between; 2. Willingness it kill is not the solution, tho it may at times be a necessary tactic. King was right, 'Hate cannot eliminate hate; only love can do that.' We must Truly Hate the Sin, and even kill to stop it; but the instant we are not Loving, all hope is lost.]

***** article. 'Congress and the US-Israel 'strategic partnership' ' TRAITORS. MADMEN. INSANITY. CRIMINALITY. The new law provides "a legal commitment to guarantee Israel's military superiority, making it 'stronger than all its opponents combined'. This law also dictates an increase in the number of American weapons stored in Israel to be used during times of emergency, valued at around $2 billion instead of $200 million at the moment...Thus, Israel has access to two arsenals; one built from US military support which provides it with the most up-to-date weapons, and the other from being handed the keys to American reserves."

nd. If I were a young man, and wise, I'd make a life almost anywhere else in the world besides the US. The fight here, is over; the quality of life for all... will only decline. Americans don't want to be saved, so what is the point of trying to help them? But for me, this remains the right place. My generation unleashed the downfall, and it is here I can best fight to slow the destruction of, well, at least, the Palestinians.

nd.I'll keep on saying it out for duty to future children: HOW CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY - I CAN PROVIDE A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR A CHILD I'D BRING INTO THIS 2014 WORLD!?!?!?! Truly, I say with huge horror and sorrow, it seems to me a criminal selfishness on the part of any parent to bring a child into the world today. I know of no objective views to the contrary. FOR THE CHILDREN'S SAKE... THINK! ADOPT! Don't make new children suffer. If I were an unfertilized embryo I'd consider it an unforgivable crime to bring me into the world today.

nd. I've really fallen out of love with the human species. I find zero desire that it continues. Now, individual humans who are suffering will have the devotion of every waking second of my life as long as I have breath. I think it is cruel, and wrong, to bring more humans into such a suffering, broken, sick... species and world. Among other things, we have a duty to stop destroying, stop polluting the universe, and it is clear that we are incapable of doing so as long as we exist.

"Leader Cantor Applauds Passage Of Israel Resolution. Posted by Nick Marcelli on July 11, 2014...
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor released the following statement following House passage of H. Res. 657, a bipartisan resolution sponsored by Representatives Steve Israel (D-NY) and Tom Cole (R-OK) expressing U.S. support for the State of Israel as it defends itself against unprovoked rocket attacks from the Hamas terrorist organization:

"Israel is one of our nation's strongest democratic allies and its security is directly tied to our own. Hamas' outrageous and unprovoked war against Israel must end. Until Hamas accepts the Quartet principles, abandoning violence and recognizing Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state, there will not be peace. There is no justification for Hamas' violent assault on Israel, which withdrew completely from Gaza in 2005. Since then, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have lobbed thousands of rockets into Israel and Hamas staged a coup against the Palestinian Authority, assuming complete control over Gaza and turning it into a den of terrorism." http://majorityleader.gov/
