nd. I am finding that the most Godly, Good, Humane group of size that I see on earth I see are our Muslim brothers and sisters... despite all odds they have withstood the onslaught of our corrupt western culture so rife with greed and self-centeredness. This is a finding that greatly surprises me. I also find that the most extremely Humane, Good people on earth, the small handful, are Jews, like this young woman, Jewish Voice for Peace, Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky, Gideon Levy, Amira Haas, Max Blumenthal, Glenn Greenwald, Henry Seigman, Heidi Epsteain, Hajo Meyer, Israel Shahak, the Israeli Refuseniks, Breaking the Silence..... Unimaginable Humanity. I find the most evil on earth the Judeo / Christian white fundamentalists - christians in the US and jews (zionists) in Israel and the US - F'ing Sociopaths, Clinically, and they are about to destroy everything because they have no serious opposition.

nd. "After 70 years of work, the Jewish archaeologists have found no historical or archeological evidence to back the biblical narrative of the Exodus, the Jews' Wandering in Sinai, or Jashua's conquest of Canaan. There is also no archaeological evidence to prove that the Temple of Solomon ever existed." Prof. Israel Finkelstein. " The Father of Biblical Archaeology". Tel Aviv University.

article. Clearest statement I've seen yet of the POLICY we can see Terrorist Israel executing every day: "Prof. Hillel Weiss addressed Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas (using his nickname, Abu Mazen). “Listen, Abu Mazen, you aren’t a people and therefore there’s no genocide,” Weiss wrote. “To annihilate you as a rabble is a mitzvah, and it will ultimately be carried out, even though the Israeli government still doesn’t recognize its own guilt for kindling your fraudulent national recognition, starting from [former Prime Minister Menachem] Begin and ending with [Meretz party leader Zahava] Gal-On, and for everything it has contributed to the deception of the entire world and the flourishing of all the monsters that arose because of its weakness and lack of faith. The faster you admit that you aren’t a people and don’t belong anywhere within the boundaries of the Land of Israel, the better it will be for you – the faster you voluntarily vacate this land.”" http://normanfinkelstein.com/2014/10/20/a-call-to-kill-people-is-un-jewish-and-immoral-but-actually-killing-them-espeically-if-they-live-in-gaza-is-not-just-moral-but-positively-jewish/

***** nd. FRIENDS: TO UNDERSTAND ME, AND MY 'HARSHNESS,' YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING. "HOLD ON TO THE TRUTH." This is the great Norman Finkelstein's synthesis/understanding of Gandhi's guiding star - Truth Force, Soul Force, Satyagraha. "HOLD ON TO THE TRUTH." It implies that one has devoted their every breath to this task, beginning and ending with paying the price to 'see' the truth... through objective, riggourous, scholarly, no sacred cows devotion to the Truths of any important situation. "HOLD ON TO THE TRUTH." Personally, I have found, with great and unexpected joy these last 12 years of practicing this, that it has cost me EVERYTHING materially, and given me EVERYTHING spiritually, AND, COUNTER-INTUITIVELY, because it has stripped me of all material resources, THAT IT HAS ALIGNED ME WITH THE TRUE, CENTRAL, PHYSICAL POWER OF THE UNIVERSE. My point to you? OUR 2014 REALITIES, THE TRUTHS... ARE END-TIMES HHHAAARRRSSSHHHHH!!!!!!! I WILL hold on to the Truths... I WILL HAVE THE TRUTHS HOLD ON TO ME, POSSESS ME...TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY AS I CAN... EVERY BREATH.. SO I WILL BE CONSTANTLY HARSH, HHHHAAAAARRRRRSSSSHHHHHH. BECAUSE I CARE FOR YOU, never the contrary.

***** article. “By all accounts, the Palestinian people now stand behind those engaging in belligerent reprisals against Israel. In the Gaza Strip, they prefer to die resisting than to continue living under an inhuman blockade. Their resistance is mostly notional, as makeshift projectiles cause little damage. So, the ultimate question is, Do Palestinians have the right to symbolically resist slow death punctuated by periodic massacres, or must they lie down and die?” Norman Finkelstein article in Global Research 072014

Cancer Update: You won't like this. You won't like this.

There is a 45% chance they can keep me alive, keep me at war. So I could be sand in your gears for another 5, 10, 15, even 20 years. And I'll have a 55% chance that I'll be gone from my war pretty soon.

As long as I'll be here, I'll not be found to become LESS GRITTY. I'm at war for the next 200 billion kids, and all of Creation. It is the most consequential war in the history of Creation, it is almost finally lost, seconds left on the clock, none by Diane Wilson, Norman Finkelstein, and a few others have a clue, or are fighting. I'll keep doing what I can to be sand in the gears of your status quo existing, to save you the lifelong Hell near certain for you now, of 'If I had ONLY...,' and give you instead the Eternal Joy of, 'Oh my Good, I woke up in time to...!'

Any of you on the left need be particularly concerned. Denial on the LEFT of Duty to stand and fight with your ENTIRE life, limb and treasure, unviolently, for the next 1000 generations makes the Left Creation Enemy #1, Citizen Enemy #1.

The right is irrelevant - unreformable lunatics.

You on the Left will be my primary target, your comfort, apathy, Soul and Creation killing excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses..., YOUR CRIMINAL DOUBLE STANDARDS - HOLDING PR. OBAMA ACCOUNTABLE TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS, IN YOUR TIMEFRAME, but YOU have ZERO MEASURABLE GOALS AS CITIZENS, ZERO TIME FRAMES FOR ACHIEVEMENT, ZERO PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, ZERO PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY AS A CITIZEN, HACTIVIST... ONLY EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE, AFTER EXCUSE, BUT NO EXCUSE EVER, FOR THE LIKES OF OBAMA.... Vomit, Vomit, VOMIT. STOP YOUR DISGUSTING DOUBLE STANDARDS. STOP IT. YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT.

And yes, there will never be any breath where you need to worry about me violating your personal boundaries. You even hint that you want the door closed, I never again come thru, with my Loving of you undiminished - unconditional.

Dr. F, liver surgeon, 11am today at GUH Transplant Center, was, well, he couldn't have been more helpful. Extremely bright, to the point, patient, thorough, generous, pleasant, kind, clear, present, human, humane, excellent communicator, clearly authoritative. We spoke for about 20 min, everything I needed to know.

The steps ahead are not as I had thought:

1. This chemo bag hanging on me will be the last I wear, forever, or at least till after recovery from the surgeries. Comes off tomorrow.

2. My odds are about 45% for a 'cure,' a normal lifespan. I had never been told, when they removed the 1/3 colon in Dec '12, they took out a whole bunch of lymph nodes (?), and all of them were free of cancer. That is a very good marker. The fact that only 2 metastatic tumors have been found, vs 7 or more, is another very favorable marker. A third marker for my case is an unknown, how long it took from cancer in colon to tumors in liver - could have been months, could have been years - we'll never know. The longer time elapse, the better - less malignant.

3. Doc F trains docs from Bolivia, all over, on my procedures. Everyplace but Howard U. Argh.

4. They don't remove the tumors!!!!! They remove 1/2 of my entire liver that contains the tumors!!! The whole thing! Wow. The liver, if all goes well, completely re-grows, re-generates, in about 4 months!!! If things don't go so well, it fails, I die, I guess. My Saint of a dad died from an operation that gave him better than 90% odds of full recovery.

5. But first, next week if it can be scheduled that soon, another doc will start the process of killing the half of my liver that has the tumors, by blocking, killing, the artery that feeds that half, shrinking it, and getting a jump on the 4 month regen process, by forcing the other half to start growing, to over-compensate, NOW!!! Reduces the odds of liver failure, too. Freekin amazing. That blood supply killing procedure may be outpatient, or may be 1 day in hosp. A needle, or wire, inserted.... I meet with that Doc B, this Monday, 2:30pm, I just learned. Procedure some days later. Late next week, I hope.

4. In about 4 weeks from now - major surgery - very large incision along the lower rib cage. The liver is a big organ, and the half they remove, that's big too! 5-7 days in hosp., eating within 2 days. Mid Oct I'll guess.

5. 6 weeks for full strength to return after the major surgery, but 70% return within a three weeks or so, I gather. Major operation 4 weeks after last chemo, which is four weeks from tomorrow, at the earliest. I'll guess this dreary Infirmary will be my cage for several more months. Then, back to the Can Emb, Creation's Murder Vigil, and the streets.

6. Wow, one of the tumors looked huge to me, on the high res CT scans. I didn't ask the Doc, but they looked much larger to me than the .7 cm and 1.5 cm I was told back in Feb. But I don't know. I'll ask, next opportunity.

7. I'm back at the Infirmary, ready for my 2-4 day Road Kill black out from the chemo, tho...

8. She reduced the chemo procedure - eliminated one of the drugs, cuz surgery can't happen within 6 weeks of that one, Avastin, and eliminating a syringe 'push' of the 5FU that is in the pump - earlier infusions a very very large syringe worth of the the 5FU is pushed in ahead of the 2 day pump worth. Totally wiped me out for 80 hours last cycle, so that indicates eliminating the Push.
