NOTICE: 051315... I anticipate slowing down my posts on Palestine or anything else. ... detail
NOTICE: 051315... I anticipate slowing down my posts on Palestine or
anything else. Why? Have you radically re-arranged your life to get in
the way of Palestines Death, Ecocide, Amerikan Fascism, mass worship of
Consumption??? Sooooo, nothing is changing... except... we are
ACCELERATING toward these chasms. Little that is new, to report. My
reading and study are accelerating, but my reporting will decelerate, I
expect. If everyone else is going to stay 'involved,' but not 'committed,' (think the chicken and the pig), I'm going to stay committed, unless I can figure out how to be MORE SO... so I'll devote less time to posting, and more time to studying and growing my own efforts.
***** SPDF (Stop Palestines Death Fast) Day 52-20: Medical update, status, outlook....
SPDF (Stop Palestines Death Fast) Day 52-20: Medical update, status, outlook....
* For maybe 4 days now my body has felt very tired, as always happens after hospital visits for me, and anesthesia (colonoscopy), but other than that, I feel really normal... no obstructions, normal bowel movements for the first time in 3 years.....
* Note, when I broke the fast 20 days ago, that day I realized the farmers market was open, bought and consumed organic sauerkraut to restart the wee beasties in my gut... never paid attention to that... my bowel, when not obstructed, has bee NORMAL EVER SINCE! Greek yogurt, too.
* Sat and Sun I was at the White House to Free Palestine. Not since - too fatigued, weak, and too hot out, for me, yet. Today I have some tasks to execute. I expect to be on Capital $ Hill Thu and Fri; White House, Sat and Sun.
* Also, I'm spending time close to toilet while I learn the new rythms of my newly 'normal' bowel... when I can eat so I don't have to rush to toilet while I'm on post at White House... or Capital $ Hill.
* I am spending my time online in deep study of a range of issues - Israel's mutilation of Palestinians, TPP, chr'stian zionism, the Republican brain, Gross National Happiness (GNH) and related subjects, Happiness Psychology, Judaism (healthy and malignant cultism / zionism), etc....
* I expect this may be my last, or one of my last SPDF posts. I've always found that the end of the fast, trying to take food on a body that has forgotten, and in whom the wee beasties in the gut have died... is the most dangerous. This one was soooooooo dangerous that the docs kept me in hospital on watch for emergency surgery about 8 days due to 5 bowel obstruction events including a complete obstruction where the NG tube released a gargantuan 2 liters of stuff within 120 seconds. Hence the 52 days minus 20 days... a 72 day Offering, Ransom to Reedeem Palestine. Yes, to no avail.
* I now have the expectation of future bowel obstructions... due to the scar tissue from my cancer and other abdominal operations... and the damage done by each of the last 5 obstructions these last 20 days. The docs could operate but they are way loath to because, well, it would just create more scarring (the cause of the obstructions), and could damage the intestines... which is way dangerous. So, I just wait for the next one, and eat cautiously in the meantime.
* Within the next week I expect to finalize the Stop Palestines Death Fast Book.
* I have a thought I'm extremely passionate about for a way to amp up my four activist areas - Stop Palestines Death, Stop Ecocide, Creation Economy (near zero consumption, near total 'free' contribution living), and Humanity for we Homeless... all with one, relatively expensive (up front, zero over the years) tactic. It may push the boundaries of high-security DC tho my intent is nothing of the sort, and the limits of any financing I can secure... but I am exploring every option.... including something that would put my health insurance at risk, but for these causes, none of us can afford to be conservative... if there is anyone now, or in the future, on earth, that we Love. If I can work out the details I'll be providing the opportunity for folks to chip in to make it happen.

***** nd. I'm homeless. We need to stop throwing crumbs at feeding and sheltering we homeless... and step up to the real issue... expanding society so there is room socially and economically for we homeless to come in from the cold. This is Jesus Gospel - nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. THIS is the Only Revolution that can save Amerikkka or Earth now. Everything else is just more of the same.

***** A recent experience: A Homeless cell-mate of mine, Peter, I'll call him, mid 50's clean off probation since 2008, has EVERY DAY placed numerious applicaitons for work (sh*t jobs mopping floors, anything) for 8 months now. Breaks my heart. I've watched him. Two churches come to the shelter every weekend. I told a man in each of Peter's need for work. One said, "Tell him about Jesus." The other one said, "Tell him to see me and I'll see what I can do." In effect, one said 'Tell him about Jesus,' the other said, in effect, 'Bring him to me, I'll SHOW him about Jesus.' Which one is the man of God? (Subsequently the 2nd man began producing 'real' opportunities for Peter, giving Peter his phone number (he is a mid level computer executive), staying in regular phone contact TO Peter. Peters begins his new job at a nursing home next week.)

***** article. Anyone who bemoans the weakening of Americans should look at the hardy homeless. It takes tremendous strength to get through a day. I’m stronger, healthier and happier than ever. There’s more respect for a homeless woman out on the streets than there is in a warehouse for Amazon workers.

'CHRISTIAN NATION' MY ASS. Without Press Coverage? Really? Is the criminalization of the poor, homeless, in DC, 'Democracy's Capitol,' really to happen without press coverage?
Is the criminalization of the poor, homeless, in DC, 'Democracy's Capitol,' really to happen without press coverage?
30,
40 years ago people died, here in DC, including a US congressman... to
get dignified, humane... treatment for the poor, and homeless, in DC -
including creation of the CCNV shelter.
It
is being dismantaled... thru inaction... non attention... as a
consequence, and SYMPTOM... of the death of the American Humanity.
CCNV
lease runs out in 2016... hugely valuable real-estate - and the ever
gentrified DC residence - GET RID OF THESE POOR FOLK - WE DON'T WANT TO
SEE THEM - GET THEM OUT OF OUR SIGHT.
There
will not be OFFICIAL plans to criminalize, and CLEANSE DC of the poor
and homeless... it will just be allowed, crushed silently under the
weight of our increasing deadness.
REALLY, NO PRESS COVERAGE????
I
will not go silently from the capitol of the US. I will not SILENTLY
allow my activism to be conveniently 'removed' from DC because I can't
be homeless, and poor - in the nations capitol. They will remove me to
prison, only a few years down the road... but I will not go under my own
steam... not if it means every last decade of my life in and out of
prison.
IS
THERE ANY MORE CENTRAL STORY TO THE DEATH OF THE AMERICAN SOUL... THAT
THE CRIMINALIZATION AND CLEANSING OF THE POOR FROM DC, AND THE NATION?
NO, THERE IS NOT.
'CHRISTIAN NATION' MY ASS.
