PSYCHO-STATE ISRAEL...FOR REAL. Israeli parents show pictures of their children with signs they have made calling for the execution of terrorists.

Seen on Facebook: if you ever feel really stupid remember that there are people that believe that two Penguins walked all the way from the Antarctic to the Middle East to get on a boat.

pic. I see the most hideous ugliness of the Spirit everywhere that I see material wealth. Yes, especially the wealth of the middle class intellectual elite liberals... the true foot soldiers, enablers, of those destroying creation... the 'dead force' as Chris Hedges calls them.

Robert Reich
People seem to forget that the Greek debt crisis -- which is becoming a European and even possibly a world economic crisis – grew out of a deal with Goldman Sachs, engineered by Goldman’s Lloyd Blankfein. Several years ago, Blankfein and his Goldman team helped Greece hide the true extent of its debt -- and in the process almost doubled it. When the first debt deal was struck in 2001, Greece owed about 600 million euros ($793 million) more than the 2.8 billion euros it had borrowed. Goldman then cooked up an off-the-books derivative for Greece that disguised the shortfall but increased the government’s losses to 5.1 billion euros. In 2005, the deal was restructured and the 5.1 billion euro debt was locked in. After that, Goldman and the rest of Wall Street pulled the global economy to its knees – whacking Greece even harder.

Undoubtedly, Greece suffers from years of corruption and tax avoidance by its wealthy. But Goldman Sachs isn't exactly innocent. It padded its profits by catastrophically leveraging up the global economy with secret, off-balance-sheet debt deals. Did any of its executives ever go to jail? Of course not. They all got fat bonuses and promotions. Blankfein, now CEO, raked in $24 million in 2014 alone. Meanwhile, the people of Greece struggle to buy medicine and food.

SPDF Day 30 vlog: On Sanity, and Insanity

I consider it insane to value our own survival over a decent quality of life for our fellow human beings.  I consider it sane to be glad to give our life if it might save even one other human being.

I consider the desire to control the lives of others is insane, pathological, and that sanity is the willingness to pay joyfully with one's life if necessary that others can be free of the control of any one beside themselves.

I consider it insane to choose a life of pleasure over a life of service, and that sanity is exactly choosing the life of service over a life of pleasure.

I deem that our American culture is profoundly insane.

It seems to me that the only sane cultures that I see today are the indigenous Palestinians, although I can't yet reconcile how they keep having children in such a hellish environment, seems cruel and selfish; some of the indigenous of America and Canada  that are putting their lives in the way of the destruction of their/ our world. 

Among so called activists I see only the International Solidarity Movement as probably very sane; along with, possibly, Sea Shepherds.  The rest I see as wallowing in a self-gratifying lifestyle choice of doing what is safe and convenient, or even more so, but by not being willing and eager to pay the ultimate price for our fellow humans, as I said at the top, insane.
