EDF D10 - ??? YOU'RE LETTING DIANE WILSON DIE IN VAIN???
It is Day10 of my Fast.
[Note, Diane was not consulted by me in this, and may well be furious with me. Oh well. We've got 204 billion kids to save, and Diane, and Bob.]
3:30am this morning I awoke, and can't sleep. How can any of us sleep?
DIANE IS DYING. SHE'S ON DAY 44, or 45 of her Hunger Strike. THAT'S DYING. SHE COULD GO OF ORGAN FAILURE, TODAY. THIS MANY DAYS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. AND HER PARTNER BOB TOO.
[Recent: Specialists warn of potential consequences of Hunger Strike diet. Windsor Star]
The proof is in. There is no life on earth. There couldn't be. Diane Wilson, arguably the most Human, alive, compassionate, devoted... person / sister / activist on earth (SEE BELOW) is Dying for you, for your children, for your grand-children, for the bays, the oceans, the sea-life, the plants, the forests....
And not a sound. No tears. No clamoring of brothers and sisters to her side. No Unviolent Warriors working to leverage, to get full impact, full advantage from her efforts.
So you see, it is certain. There is no life on earth.
WILL YOU THEN NOT BE THE GENESIS DEVICE????? My Creator, I wish I were kidding.
WE NEED PRESS. THERE'S BEEN VIRTUALLY NONE. I'M TOXIC NOW TO, WELL, EVERYONE, PRESS, ACTIVISTS... SO I CAN BE OF NO DIRECT HELP IN THIS.
IT IS UP TO YOU.
1. WE NEED A PRESS RELEASE, TODAY. Below, I've pulled together some bio material on Diane. But do your own searching for more.
* Idle no More Indigenous Uprising is gaining press, as it should. Diane is Fasting in Solidarity with Chief Spence. Surely there is a tie in there. Whoever is working press for Chief Spence, will they not help? Contact them.
* Write one. Share it. Work like crazy to get it placed. Think. Think. Think.
* Check with Diane. (wilsonalamobay at aol dot com) Don't I recall from her book, "An Unreasonable Woman," that she has Native American ancestry, and grandfather?
2. Write a press release. Or write a story. Diane's life, and the life of our 200 billion kids is at stake. Get thinking. Local press, main-stream press,
3. Get those you trust, in whom you see life, involved. Get them to help. Get them to try to generate press.
4. Mention me in none of this - I'm toxic pretty well anywhere in the press or activist community.
5. I'm guessing, but once you have a story, or Press Release, exhaust your thinking, exhaust whatever contacts you can generate, but in addition, it may be that the so called Washington Peace Center has a, possibly extensive, press contact listing for DC. TRY. Please. And where's Code Pink in all of this!?!?! They have writers, press folks! Diane is a founder, for God's sake. Here's another press list I just came across https://sites.google.com/site/wealloccupy/media .
6. Let me know: A. will you help? B. of any progress.
Who can say that they really care about our children, grand children, nieces, nephews... their future, earth, all species... who can say that they are alive... while not lifting a finger to HELP DIANE HELP US!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!? No one can say that. HELP DIANE HELP US. NOW.

EDF 01.09.13 D7 A FB Note to my Honored Sister Blueskywoman Cree - My hope lies in our Indigenous Family
"Sister, I never told you. Hey, I'm a criminally over-privileged white boy by birth, and then 40 years of choice, of which I'm horrified, but nothing I can do about it now. But by 18 years or so ago, living in my, then (now long gone in my past), half million dollar house in a wealthy Philadelphia suburb, I remember driving through a massive local upscale shopping mall, built not long before on stunning fields of grass and trees, and telling my companion, "You know, the most civilized this land called the US ever was, was the day before Columbus landed. It was as True, as clear as day to me, then, and now, and I've repeated this story often.
Now, westerners, "christians," since then have decimated not only the bodies, but the Spirit of almost all of my Indigenous brothers and sisters. But unless there are still embers of that Spirit, that level of Civilization still glowing, deep in the souls of some of our Indigenous, then humanity, and Creation now, are all doomed.
But in you, in Chief Spence, in Idle No More.... I see Hope, for the first time in the a decade or so since my Re-birth.
I wish I had known deeply our Indigenous Elders, Chiefs, Warriors. I think we share the same Wisdom, the same Truths, the same Spirit... the same Creator, but I wish I could be more sure. Your Brother, Loving ps: I hope they are Proud, Approving of me, now."
