***** LOVING, WHAT IS YOUR THING WITH MCKIBBEN @!%?*!!

MOST URGENT POST <<<

Re the vid you sent me Here is a link, worth a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geIni_BwjGw&feature=share

***** Sister J, McKibben's my brother. I love him.  I believe it is existentially impossible that any of us, with any breath, to not do our best. He is doing the best he knows.

I could only stomach watching the last few minutes of this vid.

McKibbben is a stake through the heart of all hope - he has no historical, physical, technological, scientific... basis, excuse, for saying:

A. We may not win (this is criminal bankruptcy of leadership as he insists on ALWAYS saying it);

B.  A new twist (?) - we cannot even pay the price that King's folks did - they won't shoot us - DEATH FAST???? FOR EXAMPLE????).

NO, THE TRUTH IS WE COULD NOT LOSE, WE COULD NOT LOSE, WE COULD NOT LOSE, WE COULD NOT LOSE... IF ENOUGH OF US PAID, IN  MONTHS, NOT YEARS, THE PRICE THAT THE CIVIL RIGHT'S WORKERS PAID OVER DECADES.

WE COULD NOT LOSE, WE COULD NOT LOSE, WE COULD NOT LOSE... IF ENOUGH OF US PAID, OR OFFERED, THAT PRICE, IN COMING MONTHS.  WE COULD NOT LOSE....

THE INSANITY IS TOO GREAT THAT WE ARE PERPETRATING, THIS ECOCIDE, NEEDLESS, NEEDLESS, ECONOMICALLY INSANE.... ECOCIDE.

"WE COULD NOT LOSE, WE COULD NOT LOSE, WE COULD NOT LOSE... IF ENOUGH OF US OFFER THE PRICE OF OUR LIVES, NOW.  WE'D WIN INFINITELY FASTER, AS LOWER PRICE BY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE, WINNING MORE THAN ANY GROUP IN HISTORY BY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE... "

THIS SHOULD BE HIS MESSAGE - WE, BY EVERY HISTORICAL, FINANCIAL, PHYSICAL, SCIENTIFIC, TECHNOLOGICAL MEASURE - WE CANNOT LOSE IF ENOUGH OF US PAY, OR TOTALLY BEGIN TO PAY, OFFER TO PAY - THE TOTAL PRICE OF OUR LIVES, NOW.

 SEE IT, SISTER J, THEN...

TELL HIM, SISTER J.

THINK ABOUT "STEVENS" ROLE IN GETTING ABOLITION PASSED - AND LINCOLNS!

IT IS TOO LATE FOR 'SYMBOLOGY' YOU DEADLY MORONS.  MY GOD. MY GOD. MY GOD.

Comment to Chris -

Chris, watched your show segments. You are the greatest, man, so only you, and sometimes Rachel, could get me so depressed:  Allowing to stand, un-eviscerated, this insanity that Keystone is the Litmus for Pr. Obama?  Did no one see "Lincoln?"  Was nothing learned from the political necessities shown there - Lincoln, Stevens??? My God, the "Ahabs" for Keystone/Obama as Moby Dick are infinitely more dangerous than the more obviously insane on the right!  YOU, Chris, YOU have to be sharp on such things!  And hand in hand with that, Chris, yes, we the cowardly, stand for nothing, do nothing, blame everyone else left LOVE to harbor the illusion that Dr. King got us civil rights.  BUT YOU KNOW THE HISTORY!  He came on pretty much after it was a done deal - with the sweat, blood, lynchings... by CITIZEN ACTIVST ARMY.  Yet in your segment: 1. No mention, that I caught, of the most hopeful event in the last 20 year - Organizing for Action - by Obama - a Citizen Army!!!  THAT is what, if fully peopled, THAT is what can save posterity; 2. You allowed to stand assertion after gutless assertion that 'it is up to Obama!'  WHAT????  For how many months of success?  So, nothing else happens but Obama uses the EPA and Executive Action, in 2 years we lose the all important House again, cuz we've so inflamed the Right; in 2016 we lose the Presidency and Senate also, and whatever Prez O did gets wiped out! Clock runs out, game over! Pr. Obama can't be the only one thinking more than 2 weeks ahead, Chris!  3.  NOW, after the Inaugural, Pr. Obama is no longer in the cross-hairs of history; it is We the Citizens Chris.  It is WE that will go down in history as the most reviled in history, unless the few sane with a pulpet, in ADDITION to Pr. Obama - you, Rachel, Lawrence... SAVE US FROM OURSELVES, we Leftie-ion's!  Get the finger pointing the only, only, only... place there is a Hope - US, WE THE PEOPLE.  Loving

Joe Romm's Deadly Denial Unabated - The Atlantic

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/10/why-arent-politicians-listening-to-joe-romm-about-climate-change/263432/

Loving's comment:  I'm sorry.  Yes, that congress is not listening to 1 man, this is such a break with US and world history history of massive change!  Remember how they listened to 1 woman and gave women the right to vote?  Remember how they listened to 1 man and passed civil rights legislation?  Remember how it was the voice of 1 man that ended the Vietnam War?  Remember how the voice of 1 man got rid of Mubarak in Egypt?  Remember?  Oh.  Never mind. 

Romm is like Captain Ahab with this maniacal quest to bring congress to heal, single handedly.  Tragedy.  He, and the rest of the intelligencia on the left are vastly more valuable to the fossil fuel industry than the industry's own lobbyists.   The oil shills deny the science.  Romm and the the rest of the climate club deny not one, but  three things:
1.  The true human suffering already underway and impending.  Oh, they write ad-nauseum of the impending horrors, but you can see from their personal non-commitment, non-risk... that it is all abstract for them, remote, removed, academic; with the possible exception of Hansen who has put skin in the game.  The rest of the climate club, their own kids will be 'fine,' and you can see that in the seemingly infinite lipservice spit-balls they hurl for decades now at an industry after $20-80 trillion in fossil fuel reserves.
2.  They deny that there are only two means of bringing mass change - violence and unviolent action, and that the core, the very stuff of unviolent action is voluntary personal suffering.  Oh yes, he, McKibben, and the rest of the climate club say, NO, we can do this on the cheap;  Few if any need to suffer.  As I said, the deniers on the right deny the Truth of Science; the deniers on the left deny the Truth of unviolent historical change.  Gandhi, MLK Jr faced and embraced the essence of unviolent action.  Romm, McKibben, et al, make a tidy, self-righteous living, denying it.
3.  Romm and the rest of the climate club deny personal responsibility to meaningfully act.
Unlike the fossil fuel lobby, Romm flies under the radar of well intended folks, confuses the well intended as the right could never do, and costs the fossil fuel industry not a cent. 

That Romm's complicity is something he is in psychological denial about makes it no less deadly. 

Hmmm.  Einstein too was a physicist.  'The test of insanity is doing the same thing over and over [frenetic blogging, blaming of Washington, free-lunch 'demonstrations' in Romm's case for decades now]
and expecting different results.'

GWDF2 D12a F*ckrs!x# Hansen, Romm... write to write, not to EMPOWER CITIZEN ACTION!

 F*ckrs!x# Hansen, Romm, Brown, McKibben, Publious... write to write, not to EMPOWER CITIZEN ACTION!  Verbal masturbators, a big circle-jerk with thier bureaucratic budies, and the members of their club.  Nero had nothing on this lot.

I want to ACT.  I want to DO.  I want to KNOW WHAT TO DO.  And I can, with .1% of the information needed by others, DO SO!  Have been, my whole life.  BUT YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME SOMETHING TO WORK WITH!!!!

I've read Plan B 3.0 at least 7 times and am about to start my 8th.

I've read Storms of my Grandchildren twice and am about to start my 3rd time.

I scan maybe hundreds of articles per day, headlines at least.

I've read all McKibben's books, Gore's books.

YES, THEY TELL  ME THERE IS A PROBLEM.

AFTER ALL THIS STUDY, I STILL DON'T KNOW THE ESSENCE, THE ESSENTIALS, OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!

Tons and tons and megatons, gigatons of generalities, words, facts, detials...  MEANINGLESS!!!!!!!!  Infotainment!  EXPLOITATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO CONTEXT.
NO BOTTOM LINES.
NOTHING ACTIONABLE.  NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING.  THIS IS CRIMINAL.

GWDF D10B Stomach pain may force a temporary hold

It's borderline.  The pain is pretty much always there, but not always debilitating.  Yesterday was one of the days I've lost hours of work, just trying to manage the pain.  Today, so far, I can pretty well work.  I can't tell if the meds I'm taking are helping or causing.  Next day of incapacitation I expect to go back in for a consultation.  If tests could reveal some low cost treatment (that it is free to me is immaterial), or if there are low cost pain meds I could take, I'd like to know.

Over half way through Jim Hansen's "Storms of my Grandchildren," culling for the key "in their own words" quotes for the next book.  He's the only one of Romm, McKibben, Brown... in whom I find moral integrity - putting their bodies where their mouths are, to I think I'll still find useful words from the others, particularly before their mass surrender at Copenhagen.  Except for Hansen, they don't STAND for anything.  Auth-whores, nothing more? Just reporting a blow by blow of the rape from a comfortable distance?  If there's more, I can't find it.  Not anymore.  Just pandering to the gawkers and bureaucrats.
