Reporters always ask me if it's true that my activism has disrupted my family. 1. Not one yet has understood that my activism is 100 percent about my family, my biological, and non biological Family, 2. If they understood what activism was, nonviolence soldiering, they would assume it has disrupted the biological family. Every type of soldiering does! ( correction. The writer at the Philadelphia Inquirer years ago understood.) if my answer was no they should know immediately that I was a fraud, an actor, a hypocrite... Yes, a modern-day activist.

***** Important FB dialog. Pls read: "Ah Loving, but your judgments come across very harshly sometimes...." (DETAIL)

S:   

Ah Loving, but your judgments come across very harshly sometimes. As in this little discussion. Pushing people to act more boldly, more deeply, actually effectively - I hear you and am with you. Commenting as if the people who don't go far enough are doing more harm than good - I'd like to see you win them over instead.

Loving:

S, thank you for your honest and thoughtful comment.  'Winning people over' is not my job, never has been, never will be. It may be someone's job in this, but it is not mine.  My mistake is in forgetting that.

Did you ever see 'An Officer and a Gentleman?'  Officer Foley, one of the greatest icons of Loving I've ever seen in literature, media.... He trained naval aviators, and if he failed, they died.  He had only weeks with them to get the job done. Like me, he didn't go after these recruits, he didn't invite people in.  But he was there for those who came; and he was the quintessential HARSH.  I don't try to emulate him, but he comes to mind in dialogs like this, which many, many times I've had throughout my adulthood, and my last decade in full time advocacy.

I try to warn folks that come near me, as anyone that knows me would have to acknowledge.

My calculation is that the kids of today will NOT thank the environmental 'adults' of today for being so nice, encouraging, kind, patient... as they are.  They will scream at us, in their minds if only there, WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE US THE F UP, OR DIE TRYING???  WHY DIDN'T YOU GET THRU TO US HOW HARSH IT IS????  WERE YOU AFRAID OF HURTING OUR FEELINGS, WHEN OUR LAST CHANCE SECONDS TO SAVE AN EARTH FOR US AND OUR CHILDREN WERE DWINDLING???!?!?!?!?  YOU AFFORDED YOURSELVES THE LUXURY OF IGNORING THE SCIENCE, JUST LIKE THE FOLKS ON THE RIGHT - THE SCIENCE SAID NOW OR NEVER, YOUR BEHAVIOR TO US SAID - OH, IT'LL ALL WORK OUT - IGNORE THE PLAIN AS DAY HISTORY OF THE TERRIBLE PRICE THAT CHANGE COSTS THE ACTVISTS....  JUST 'DO YOUR BEST,' DO WHAT IS CONVENIENT, SAFE, PAINLESS.... YOU WEREN'T OUR FRIENDS, YOU WERE OUR ENABLERS.

There is really 'nasty' stuff said by the left regarding the right.  I'll guess my friends on the left aren't horrified by much of that.  Why?  Because they see in those missiles a prayer that it will 1.  wake up some on the right; and 2. it will heighten the alarm felt by some on the left.  What I do is allow myself to discover, LIVE and speak the historically unprecedentedly HARSH Truth as best and honestly as I can, where those who may want to hear can hear it, which so far is a rapidly dwindling, miniscule few.  What I do is not really so different from what the left does as a mainstay to the right;  I'm not so much more harsh, than what I see the left offering the right; but the left has such a deadly, cowardly, double standard - they dish it out but reject it coming at them, at any price.  I ALLOW NO DOUBLE STANDARDS IN MY LIFE; NO ONE SHOULD.

S, this is an old, old, old... dialog with me on this subject, going back years before we met.  OF COURSE I may be entirely wrong in most or all I've said here.  I am convinced by a life dedicated to being a catalyst for high-stakes change,  I am not wrong.

The right is clinically insane in this country.  The left is no less so. That is a clinical judgement on my part, not a taunt, jab, attempt to be nasty....  The deadliest disease on earth is on the left, because it is on the left that any remaining shred of hope lies. That disease is unrecognized self-centeredness, cowardice, self-protection... no matter what; and by comparison to any and every major rights struggle in history that is glaringly, BLARINGLY, true.

I'll not stop studying, Living, and speaking the Truth on that as best I can.  I expect to make no difference.  I expect to die friendless, literally, I'm pretty close to that now (the one place I make unerring progress.  LOL).  I'll not stop trying to do my part, the tip of the spear part, of what is lacking, to the best of my ability.  (((((((HUGS))))))

ps.  What amazes me is when folks travel near to me, and don't leave; AND PERIODICALLY I PREEMPTIVELY WARN THEM.  At first, (and second and third...) they don't understand my warnings.  But finally, near all, do, and leave..  My Loving is unconditional, including when they leave.  I don't invite folks in. That is for the spirit, not me; or for others to do, which they pretty much never do.

pps:  It is NEVER my place to try to 'push others to do more.'  NEVER.  BUT IT IS MY ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY AS A BROTHER TO OFFER THAT OPPORTUNITY, WHICH I WILL DO, WHATEVER IT COSTS ME, WITH MY LAST BREATH.

ppps:  YES, I don't know ANYONE THAT AGREES WITH ME ON ANY OF THE ABOVE.  But know that it is totally clear to me that I'm in the right ball-park.  Occasionally, on FB and elsewhere, don't we each love the posts talking about the lone seeker that bucks the trend, and stands for the truth, no matter what?  Come on, we all love that one.  But we on the left, never think that it could be that we as a group are wrong, and that anyone could rightly be that individual standing apart, and Lovingly against, what we are doing, not doing, thinking, saying.  NO, NOT US?  Really?  "The world will not be destroyed by people who do evil, but by those who watch it and do nothing."  Who do we think Einstein was referring to as the 'the good people!??!?!"  The right wingnuts of his day?

---------------------

S:

Yes, Einstein was referring to us.

No, it's not everybody's job to win people over. It's not my job either... except that since I say my job is consciousness change, I guess it is. And you are attempting to change the consciousness of the Left - and I agree with your direction. I just don't see it happening. The thousand hunger strikers would have been effective. Well, maybe. Maybe 100,000 would be required. Why didn't I join you? Maybe because I thought it would be impossible. Maybe because I wanted things I would have lost.

The fact that people keep hanging around you proves that you are less alone than you think. Your opinions are more shared than you think. We all differ a bit in how we think it ought to be presented - strategy.
Could we form an alliance perhaps, of those who did read this note, to support each other in actually making the change?

I'm perhaps doing the least of anyone here. Sure, something could have happened on the Walk, but we minimized risk by minimizing confrontation. Now I'm going to grow food - small and local benefit - and asking myself what next to do to stop the climate from changing.

S:

I commented on the web page. Thank you for respecting me enough to listen and reply.

Loving:

S, there will never come a day I don't respect you, or any person, or any creature; unless and until I Die as the person I strive to be. I read your comment on the website, of course. 

WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING HERE IS THE HARDEST THING IN THE WORLD - MOVING FROM THE HEAD TO THE HEART. I KNOW THAT IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN SAVE US. I KNOW IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED EN MASSE, FOR OTHER THAN BRIEF MOMENTS IN HISTORY. I KNOW THAT THE LIKES OF THE BEST WE'VE EVER SEEN HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO MAKE MORE THAN A DENT - EVEN THE LIKES OF JESUS, BUDDHA.... WHY? BECAUSE IT IS THE HARDEST THING IN THE WORLD FOR HUMANS. BUT NOTHING LESS CAN SAVE US. 

I AM NOT SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW WHO CAN MAKE THE JUMP, WHEN. IT ISN'T MY BUSINESS, NEVER WILL BE. 

It is TOTALLY my business to make the jump myself, every day, every breath, as pitifully and ineptly as I may do it, and thereby do the most I can to help others make a similar choice. The only thing in the world I can change is me, and that, I'll pay any and every personal price to do.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE HARDEST THING IN THE WORLD. Please know, I totally get that. 

And I have ZERO illusion that I'll ever really be any help to anyone in this. But I'll give my every and last breath to the attempt, of that I am certain. Nothing else matters. 

Introjection: "Example is not the major thing in influencing people; it is the only thing." Albert Schweitzer, maybe my favorite quote of all time. "My life is my message," is Gandhi saying it a different way. Our heads know there are dire emergencies. BUT OUR LIVES DO NOT SHOUT THAT. AND OUR LIVES, NOT OUR WORDS, ARE WHAT THE ONLOOKERS, THE BENCH SITTERS, THE UNDECIDEDS LEFT RIGHT AND CENTER... ARE WATCHING. SO ALL EVIDENCE TO THEM IS - THERE IS NO EMERGENCY! 

The only thing I know is that stopping Global Warming (in time, by definition) WILL COST AN UNGODLY PERSONAL PRICE BY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH. AND A SMALL PRICE BY MILLIONS WON'T DO IT. THERE MUST BE A FIRE OF INTENSE HEAT, AND ONLY INDIVIDUALS UNMISTAKABLY BURNING CAN DO THAT. 'She who would give light, must endure burning." Eleanor Roosevelt. 

There is no ideal strategy, approach, idea, campaign... that will stop this. BUT IF THERE ARE EVER 2, THEN 10, THEN 100, THEN 1000... INDIVIDUALS PAYING THE PRICE, ONE OF THEM, ALL OF THEM... COULD START THE BLAZE. 

 ((((((HUGS)))))) to you all, forever. 

Loving:

I owe you all to be more of a Sgt Foley, not more approachable, not more gentle, kind, encouraging... but less. I confuse those around me otherwise. I am not here on earth to be 'friends' with anyone. I am here to be a friend TO EVERYONE, starting with the neediest, born, and to be born. Sgt. Foley, over and out.  

S:

I'll have to watch that film. When you write like you did above, you inspire me to do more.

(details) When Wm. Thomas Died, almost over night the Peace House became the Parasite House, and The White House Peace Vigil became Connie's Hate and Violence Vigil (details)

MLK Jr (as I recall): "Silence is Complicity."

 [[[Note, the following is my duty to share, as the Sole Individual Thomas asked to take on his part of the Vigil, which I did, not missing a shift, 24/7, for 2.5 years...

... now breaking my silence...

....because the Hate-Blinded, Self-righteous, 'Peace Activists' in and around DC, are by statement and Innuendo Slandering the Park Police and Secret Service; ...

...and in effect, DESECRATING, PROLIFERATING THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF, WHAT ST. WILLIAM THOMAS (NOT CONNIE, NEVER CONNIE, NEVER CONNIE) LIVED AND DIED TO CREATE, AND TO PROLIFERATE -

"WISDOM AND HONESTY."

Since Thomas passed, and with this recent Lie and Slander campaign, the sole function of this now Hate Vigil, is to spew...

"LIES AND DECEPTION."

It is my duty to Protect the Truth, and any and all Innocents, Thomas, Secret Service, Park Police, in this case... whereever they are and whoever they may be, or I am NO PEACE ACTIVIST, NO PEACE MAKER -

JUST A FRAUD, AN ACTOR ('HYPOCRITE,' FROM THE GREEK) ...
LIKE NEAR ALL THE REST.

Here is what is being shared: [[[






Concepcion Picciotto held a peace vigil outside The White House through six presidencies until police dismantled her tent Wednesday evening. When asked why she maintained the longest political protest in US history, suffering through brutally hot summers and freezing winters, Connie responded: “We have to stop the world from being destroyed.”

Connie's story should inspire us all, but unfortunately her story has only been shared less than 100 times on social media. If you are inspired, please pass this one along.

[[[NOTE: IT SEEMS THAT THE AUTHORS OF ALL THIS, LOVERS OF TRUTH THAT THEY ARE, WENT TO THE TROUBLE OF BLOCKING THE REPOSTING MY COMMENTS ON MY OWN WALL.  AMAZING.

HOW DO YOU SPELL H Y P O C R I T E S ???  Oh, Huff Post deleted my comment on this. Totally expected.  All the Left Wing Propaganda, Hate, that's fit to print.  ]]]]



The pic above is a Lie, unintended tho it may be. It is a lie. Gandhi, the consummate unviolent warrior, said the one thing worth instantly dying for was the Truth.  Obviously, that Devotion to Truth, DIED with MLK Jr, and Gandhi.  The US Left, the DC Activist Club, ever since pisses on the Truth at any whim. whenever it gets their rocks off. 

The Peace Vigil Died, when William Thomas died, largely haven been driven insane by Connie's relentless hatefulness, greed, violence, insane selfisness. 

The major reason the vigil exists since then, and before, is the Heroic NonViolence of the Park Police and Secret Service.  Despite a daily vomit of hate, violence, abuse, vile behavior by Connie toward them, reasonable rules violations... they, day after day, day after day, month after month, year after year... turn their heads, absorb her psychological, massive, hideous abuse, vile violations, her disgusting hypocrisy....

Oh, she cares about Palestine?  Nuclear Weapons?  You thing so? You fool. In a pigs eye.  Look at what 99.999% of the time is her handout - it is about her vendetta against those she alleges abused her with chemicals (insane) decades ago, decades ago, and one Marine, that she uses to visciously discriminate against ALL MEN IN UNIFORMS.  Uh, that's biggotry, folks. That's discrimination.

Oh, and it is about making about $100 a day in totally illegal tips.

Oh, and it is about meaningless photo ops with ignorant fawning tourists from around the world telling Connie what a wonderful person she is - when in fact, she is the opposite.

A circus side-show since Thomas Died.

Is all this Connie's fault? No. 

The larger part is the folks that have, and now I see, are renewing and redoubling efforts, to ENABLE her Hatefulness. 

Connie has True Goodness in her.  I've seen it.  But she is Clinically Addicted to her Hatefulness, and all the Criminally-blinded, lip-service, self-righteousness-addicted lefties in DC are her pushers, her pimps, her supply - enabling her rampant addiction to her Hate and Abuse, which they vicariously get off on.

My Authority in this?  Thomas, as he was in the final months of killing himself, said, 'Loving, you are the only one I want to take my place."  And I did for 2.5 year, and months before he finally died, without missing either of my even one of my 2 shifts of the 4 shift rotation, until I could no longer be part of Connie's reign of Hate.



And prior, I'd lived in Thomas house, at his insistence - 'Loving, as long as I am alive you will have a room in this house' - for years, watching it all, turning my primary priority to trying to do what I could to save Thomas, and Save what Good there was in the Vigil, and the Peace House. But I was way too little, way too late. With his death the Peace Vigil became the Unmitigated Hate Vigil, and the Peace House became the Parasite House.

Before God, before all that is Good, that at the White House, is a Hate Vigil, the opposite of a Peace Vigil.

Tragedy. Near all due to the cowardly enabling of Connie's pimps, of which I was one, for all too long.  And NO ONE is a greater victim of this, than Connie.

Now, her blood, and the propagation of the Hideous, Corrupting Lie, is on your hands.

ps:  I totally divorced myself from the vigil, and the Peace House, over two years ago, moving out into the street to live, rather than in any way enable the rank evil that was all that was left in both places.  I've never for one breath regretted that.  Sure, the street is hard. Nonviolence much better translates as Non-Evil. It is our highest duty to not enable Evil.  I finally found the courage, decency, Loving... to do just that, regardless of the massive material price to me personally.

My Point?  Although from my extensive experience with Connie and the Peace House after Thomas died tells me that the above remains true, 99.999% confident, I do not have in any form authoritative information that things did not go from Night to Day, Evil to Good, since then.

pps: I will gladly post any comments, expected to be hatefilled screeds at me, provided that the person(s) leaving the comment identify themselves.  Cowards need not apply.  That should do it.
