vid. George Carlin - THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU... AT ALL


From the Israeli declaration of independence -

THE STATE OF ISRAEL will be open for Jewish immigration and for the Ingathering of the Exiles; it will foster the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; it will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.

SPDF Day 26: Chris Hedges - State of Extraction - The fight for our lives

Begins at min 10:30

***** SPDF Day 26: ***** DYING IS NOT MY GOAL… life for at least one more Palestinian… is......

[Note: My brain is getting quite fuzzy, along with my eyesight. That coupled with deep fatigue... are resulting, I'm sure, in a higher rate of typos, and other errors, that I'm sure we both wish were not there.]

SPDF Day 26:  My goal is not to die.  My goal is that Palestinians not die, and I'll GLADLY pay any personal price for that goal.  I'm happy if that price is the ultimate price for me.

As I wrote several weeks ago, this Death Fast is correct for me in this time of complete and utter hopelessness for my Palestine Family.  In such complete darkness, complete hopelessness, objectively, based on all the self-serving, self-gratifying, hopeless, meaningless US 'activist' Free Palestine efforts... this Death Fast against such utter bleakness 'could' be seen at some time after my death, and awaken a few, to the only action that could be CERTAIN to Free Palestine, in sufficient numbers, and then to stop the descent of US into Fascism, and Ecocide.

If that utter bleakness dissipates beyond a point, this Death Fast by just one, me, would be throwing away life to no purpose. In a completely dark room, even a huge one, a tiny candle can be seen from anywhere in the room.  But if the darkness is dispelled, it cannot.

I'd be GLAD to have this Death Fast terminate my life.

I'd be GLAD to find out that a Real Dawn, aggressive, determined, committed, urgent Obama  Admin efforts... was breaking for Palestine.

I'd NOT be GLAD, but I'd recognize and possibly respond to... a 'possible,' 'perceived,' 'uncertain' dawn... such as the news that France is planning to reintroduce a 'Palestinian State' resolution in the UN, and that the US is 'planning' to go after AIPAC, and support a UN resolution.

If these dispel, for good or ill, the utter darkness of the moment, I'll be forced to consider terminating this Death Fast to avoid throwing away one of the only True US Activists that my Palestine has.

The potential harbingers of such 'light pollution,' if not true Light, that I see, the potentially Strategically important news, I' post on this site.

NOTE: If, as there would be, if there were Real Activists in the US, there were 100, or 1000 of us doing what I am, Death Fast... first to Free Palestine, then to save Democracy by getting the money out, then to stop Ecocide... then the above would be less of a factor, if any at all.  100 candles can be seen even in a semi-lighted room.  But one cannot.

SPDF Day 26: Even without opposition in the US Congress BDS cannot stop the slaughter of Palestine...

nd. SPDF Day 26: Even without opposition in the US Congress BDS cannot stop the slaughter of Palestine, but everyone is acting as though it could. It has a minor role to play. Most of Israel's economy is weapons and high technology that cannot be touched by boycott. They have Adelson and other billionaires willing to pay the companies that would otherwise be hurt by BDS.  It is criminal denial that  the free Palestine activists pretend that BDS  is the answer rather than a tiny part of the solution.

***** SPDF Day 25: Chris Hedges - These armies of [educated liberals] serve a corporate system that will quite literally kill us

 http://www.truthdig.com/report/page3/the_careerists_20120723

Christopher Browning’s collection of essays, “The Path to Genocide,” notes that it was the “moderate,” “normal” bureaucrats, not the zealots, who made the Holocaust possible. Germaine Tillion pointed out “the tragic easiness [during the Holocaust] with which ‘decent’ people could become the most callous executioners without seeming to notice what was happening to them.” The Russian novelist Vasily Grossman in his book “Forever Flowing” observed that “the new state did not require holy apostles, fanatic, inspired builders, faithful, devout disciples. The new state did not even require servants—just clerks.”

“The most nauseating type of S.S. were to me personally the cynics who no longer genuinely believed in their cause, but went on collecting blood guilt for its own sake,” wrote Dr. Ella Lingens-Reiner in “Prisoners of Fear,” her searing memoir of Auschwitz. “Those cynics were not always brutal to the prisoners, their behavior changed with their mood. They took nothing seriously—neither themselves nor their cause, neither us nor our situation. One of the worst among them was Dr. Mengele, the Camp Doctor I have mentioned before. When a batch of newly arrived Jews was being classified into those fit for work and those fit for death, he would whistle a melody and rhythmically jerk his thumb over his right or his left shoulder—which meant ‘gas’ or ‘work.’ He thought conditions in the camp rotten, and even did a few things to improve them, but at the same time he committed murder callously, without any qualms.”

These armies of bureaucrats serve a corporate system that will quite literally kill us. They are as cold and disconnected as Mengele. They carry out minute tasks. They are docile. Compliant. They obey. They find their self-worth in the prestige and power of the corporation, in the status of their positions and in their career promotions. They assure themselves of their own goodness through their private acts as husbands, wives, mothers and fathers. They sit on school boards. They go to Rotary. They attend church. It is moral schizophrenia. They erect walls to create an isolated consciousness. They make the lethal goals of ExxonMobil or Goldman Sachs or Raytheon or insurance companies possible. They destroy the ecosystem, the economy and the body politic and turn workingmen and -women into impoverished serfs. They feel nothing. Metaphysical naiveté always ends in murder. It fragments the world. Little acts of kindness and charity mask the monstrous evil they abet. And the system rolls forward. The polar ice caps melt. The droughts rage over cropland. The drones deliver death from the sky. The state moves inexorably forward to place us in chains. The sick die. The poor starve. The prisons fill. And the careerist, plodding forward, does his or her job.

SPDF Day 24:  Stamina and strength waning. On the Hill for 12 hours, unable to stay conscious for 3 hours or so.  But surely I can't complain, after 24 days, virtually zero calories... and I still have many hours per day where I'm functional for Palestine.  No complaints. Thank you body.  Thank you Spirit.  Thank you Creator.

***** vlog. SPDF Day 24: The Epitaph on EVERYTHING GOOD will be that the citizens of the world’s superpower found that there was nothing beyond themselves, not even their children, that they would die for

The epitaph on everything good will be that the citizens of the world's superpower found that there was nothing beyond themselves, not even their children, that they would die for.  Nothing could be more self evident for the truth seeker, but the truth seeker would die for the truth, and we have virtually none today, which is another way of stating the same epitaph - Americans chose denial over Truth and the result was the destruction of all that was good, forever.

Young Gandhi was in the process of becoming a lawyer .  But he encountered two books that caused his life to do a 180 when he was a young man studying in England.  One of the books was Tolstoy's "The Kingdom of God is Within You."  The other was .four essays actually, by John Ruskin   . An idea that was central to those essays was the assessment that the the British population could be best understood as being comprised of five groups, Doctors ,lawyers, Ministers, soldiers, Merchants.  What was considered most important in these essays was that four of the five groups could be expected to give their lives for their clients when circumstances called for it.  But that one of the populations, merchants, could be depended on to never do so, and to only serve their own selfish interests.  Thereby they were considered a cancer on society, by other words than these.

In 2015 American these essays would clearly have the state that no population any longer existed, with the possible exception of soldiers, who would die for anything but themselves .

This is why there is no hope to save Palestine, to stop ecocide, to save the last remaining remnants of democracy or any economic life worth living in America.

Both books mentioned can be found on Amazon, some libraries, or here (set the adblock on your browser FIRST to prevent the porn ads).

SPDF Day 24: on the Hill, in the rain...

The Weather Channel said zero chance of rain this morning. It has been raining for the last hour. I have coverings for me and the computer but not for the signs. I'm hoping I have weatherproof them enough that they are not damaged. This is the last day for the next 10 days that Congress is in session. Current reports say that the rain should stop by noon which is the next time Congress is scheduled to walk. And they say zero chance of rain this afternoon.
