MON. EVE: MAJOR TECH PROBLEMS.

Return to the Hill delayed another day.

Plan B 3.0 now available, free not only PDF but NOW online in AUDIO (CORRECTED / CHANGED from earlier today):
Although I expect to work through the night, Wednesday morning looks like the time of return to the Hill for the 24/7 occupation.

CAMPAIGN 1 MORE DAY OFF THE HILL - COMPUTER WORK

Work is keeping me off the Hill one more day, but still on the Hunger Strike.

Tremendous technical problems, but worth fighting through.

God (Reality!) willing, by the time I return to the Hill:
  1. Plan B 3.0 chapters 1 and 13 will be on YouTube.
  2. Complete audio-book version of Plan B 3.0 will be available online to listen via mp3/Ipod
  3. MLK's final warning to us, "A time to break the silence" speech from Riverside Church for which our handlers shot him one year later will be edited and ready for us to blast on the Hill for when Congress returns next week. " A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."
So much yet to attempt, so few days left.

Hunger Strike / Hill Occupation Day 11: Off the Hill 2 days to Communicate this to you

"GIVE ME MILITARY MEN TO WORK WITH ANY DAY.
DO NOT GIVE ME COWARDS."
Gandhi (paraphrase)
------
Would you risk your life to prevent this (photo at left)? Would you sacrifice your life to prevent this? Of course you would. I AM. THAT IS WHAT THIS HUNGER STRIKE IS ABOUT. YOU JUST DON'T SEE THE IMMINENT END OF CIVILIZATION, AND I DO. (If you "see," and you do not "do," you do not "see.")

Don't feel bad about not seeing it.
My entire adult career / training / passion / expertise / commitment was seeing large scale calamity months, years or decades before others - in time to starve it off - saving organizations in the computer industry which I did with some regular success. My whole life, on important matters, I simply "see" many, many times further than others. Simply a gift I've received, I use, and I die to share.

We've got about 30 days; NO MORE. By February 1st it will be too late for you, or me, or anyone to prevent it. No, not a civilization extinction from space. The planetary holocaust weeks away from irreversible certainty is man made - you and I made it.

And if it is going to be prevented, you and I have to do it, TODAY - BEFORE THE MILITARY - CORPORATE - INDUSTRIAL INTERESTS FORCE OBAMA INTO A "THEIR" AGENDA, "THEIR" BUDGET, "THEIR" PLAN. IT WILL THEN BE YEARS BEFORE A MAJOR COURSE CHANGE COULD HAPPEN, IF EVER - AND THAT IS YEARS TOO LATE. TODAY Obama is at the height of his political capital. TODAY the US Citizens are at the height of their readiness to participate. These stars, aligned today will be out of alignment by Feb 1.

On the Hill (so I was already totally committed, day 6 of the Huger Strike) on Christmas, I began a book I suspected was essential for me to read. Although obvously I could see why it was time to lay our lives on the line, I had no hope of effectively communicating to you "why," that we were facing calamity worth sacrificing our lives for, let alone communicating to you why it had to be TODAY, NOT TOMORROW. My only opportunity was to do my part in showing you "that" we were facing calamity worth sacrificing our lives for by doing so myself. "Example is NOT the major thing in influencing people. Example is the ONLY thing." Albert Schweiter.

Whereas this is the most important quote for this time, this place, and this crisis; explanation, clarity, vision, information does have a place as well. By December 26th as I completed my first reading of the book, on the Hill, I realized that the book I was reading was that vision, information Divinely articulated, impeccably researched and miraculously substantiated....

In finishing my 2nd reading today I realized the imperative of getting to a computer and:
  1. getting this initial alert to you, and
  2. creating a more extensive tool to get this information available to people, which I'll hope to complete by tomorrow or Tuesday so I can return to the Hill. The Hunger Strike continues, although to clear my head for this computer work I am taking juice tonight and probably tomorrow for which I expect to subtract one or two days from the Hunger Strike count.
On the Hill I've had no computer capacity because the laptop Dave and MR loaned me is in the shop for repair. But this is not the major reason that, if you've tried to contact me, you've had no response. With the few days I may have left, there is no time for emails. The time for chat is past. The time for dialog is past. The time to discuss - "how is Start's health, safety..." is totally unimportant. We are facing the imminent extinction of Human Civilization, and if by the time you finish this email and the first two (1 and 2 below) "need to do's" below, you still don't "get" that, go find your child, niece, nephew or grandchild and kiss their ass goodbye.

What you need to do:
  1. Read chapter 13 of Plan B 3.0 NOW - free, online here at the Earth Policy Institute:
    The Great Mobilization
    (pdf)
    Introduction
    Shifting Taxes and Subsidies
    Summing Up Climate Stabilization Measures
    A Reponse to Failing States
    A Wartime Mobilization
    Mobilizing to Save Civilization
    !!!! Ignore the last section, "What you can do" unless you like masturbating - it is too late for his recommendations written months ago. Feb 1 or die.
  2. Digest, consume the entire book cover to cover. Do it now. Better do it on an empty stomach - it is utterly horrifying - and it can save the life of all your progeny AS NOTHING ELSE CAN.
    Table of Contents
  3. NOTE: IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN MP3 PLAYER - GO GET ONE. BY MONDAY OR TUESDAY DOWNLOAD AN AUDIO-BOOK VERSION OF PLAN B 3.0 HERE OR HERE (CHANGED MON. NITE!!!). "READ" IT DURING YOUR COMMUTE TIME, LAUNDRY TIME....
  4. Join this Hunger Strike / Hill occupation - details here (scan around the last few week's posts (mostly one-liners)). Do it NOW. Check this site in another day or so regarding details - what you'll need, what to expect....
  5. GET OTHERS to join the Hunger Strike / Hill occupation. Do it now. Why Hunger Strike, and nothing else, nothing less? BUNKER BUSTER NON-VIOLENT ACTION: THE DIFINITIVE ESSAY, by Thick Nhat Hanh
  6. MAKE SURE THAT KUCINICH KNOWS (and unless YOU'VE gotten word to him - HE DOES NOT) THAT THE HUNGER STRIKE / OCCUPATION BEGAN 12/19 AND WILL NOT END UNTIL:

    A. THE HUNGER STRIKER(S) EXPIRE, OR
    B. HE COMES OUT TO TELL US THAT THE $200B SHIFT FROM WAR-MAKING TO PEACE-BUILDING IS "IN THE BAG."

    Kucinich is NOT the TARGET of this campaign. Kucinich can be the/a
    HERO, THE CHAMPION in this campaign! HE is the one that has been calling for a Department of Peace. HE is the unimpeachable, COURAGEOUS patriot on the Hill. THIS CAMPAIGN, IF SOMEONE GETS IT TO HIS ATTENTION IN TIME, can give him the empowerment he, AND OBAMA DESPERATELY NEED AND WANT!!!!! Remember how FDR said to Sidney Hillman the Labor Leader? "Sidney I agree with everything in your proposal, it is all exactly right, now you just go back home and make me do it." If Obama tries to shift $200B from WarMaking to PeaceBuilding, WITHOUT IT COMING FROM PUBLIC PRESSURE, his administration is DEAD ON ARRIVAL. Obama knows this. BUT IF THE $200B SHIFT DOES NOT HAPPEN THEN ALL WE HAVE IS ANOTHER "ENRON," ANOTHER "MORTGAGE CRISIS," A CERTAIN IMPLOSION OF "ILLUSORY," "FAUX" GOOD WORKS BUILT ON SAND, FUNNY-MONEY, A HOUSE OF CARDS. "FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU, FOOL ME FOR A 9TH YEAR!?!?!?!?!?"
  7. Check this site over the next few days for information about how to join the hunger strike, etc., clarification and elaboration of the themes of this email....
More from me over the next day or so, but you don't need it now. If you are going to "get it," this email/post will suffice. "I will admit but one tyrant in my life; the still small voice within." Gandhi. Better listen HARD to your inner voice. Now.

There is no Feb. 2nd.

"Some people make things happen, some people watch things happen, some people say what the f*ck happened."

If you value your child's, niece's or grandchild's ass.....

PROPOSITION ONE (PROP 1), OUR LAST BATTLE AGAINST SPECIES aRMAGEDDON - PROP1 IS WHAT I DEMAND. THAT IS WHAT I AM WAGING MY LIFE FOR.

The name does not matter. It must not be said that the campaign I am joining (scroll down main page for details) is for Prop 1. Why? Because I don't care what it is called, and neither should anyone else. Substance is what we must demand.

HOWEVER, the essence of what I am committing everything to now is wonderfully represented in Proposition One, a Bill taken in the House of Representatives EVERY YEAR by Eleanor Homes Norton for the last decade!!!!

Hunger Strike begun at 12:01 AM Dec. 18th

Hello.

The Hunger Strike (scroll down for details; water if provided and vitamins) to bring about the immediate shift of $200 BILLION FROM WARMAKING TO PEACEBUILDING began at 12:01 AM December 18th, one week before the birthday of my #1 hero and Gandhi's and ML King Jr's - Jesus. Racing to get on the Hill by MONDAY morning. We are out of time. Forgive my silence up until now. Causing this immediate $200 Billion SHIFT, NOW, demands all my attention; ALL OUR ATTENTION. Any questions you have will have to be addressed at this site or youtube: StartLoving1. The time for "talking" is passed. LONG passed. We KNOW what to do, and we're going to die avoiding it. If The Great Turning is going to happen for all but the survivors, WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN NOW BY BRINGING ABOUT THE "SHIFT." There is no February 09.

This is already my most difficult hunger strike as the previous ones have sapped much of my physical and emotional strength, and every day of my journey these last 3 years it has become more clear, and more disheartening, how beyond redemption we 2009 humans have become. "Oh you twisted and faithless [Humanity-less] generation. How long must I bear with you?" Matt 17:17. This country is a graveyard, filled with walking dead; vampire zombies. But those few that survive in future generations must have their legends - that a few DID try to Live for them. peaceandnonviolence.blogspot.com/2007/03/is-there-anything-individual-can-still.html I expect to be in an emotional and physical "cave" until either Dennis Kucinich informs me that the "Shift" is "going to happen," or my body gives out. No, he knows nothing of this, unless you have gotten word to him. I expect from time to time I will record insights and thoughts at http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com if the charging of my batteries is accomplished by someone, and I am supplied with water, and waste water removal. Physically I am in final preparations away from the Hill until Christmas Eve morning (now Monday morning, tomorrow. No time to wait) at which point I expect to remain on the Hill 24/7 until either of the two eventualities mentioned above.

ChristianiZm, ActiviZm, VoyeuriSm

Like Christianizm, in my years of searching I've not found a ChurZh OR an Activizm Group THAT IS OTHER THAN A SOCIAL CLUB WITH A THIN VENEER OF TRUTH, COMMITMENT, WISDOM, HONESTY, UNIVERSAL LOVE. THEY ARE JUST ANOTHER BRAND OF THE EMPIRE, GREED, SELFISHNESS CULTURE.

"There is nothing so dangerous as
evil in the guise of virtue."

ML King, Jr.

Now, I hold out some hope for those working intimately with Vandana Shiva, that THEY may be True Activists, the True opposition to the armies of destruction, but I have insufficient information so far to know. Maybe Teresa of Caltutta's group, some of them is the real deal, the real opposition. A small subsegment of IVAW seems "real," and a small subsegment of CODE PINK IS REAL - (LIZ, DIANE, ANN YOU ARE OUR SHEROES!!!)

It hit me within recent days that the groups here in DC associated with Activizm are either significantly infiltrated by anti-Democracy government agents, or this infiltration has NOT happened because the bumbs, neredowells, delusionals, incompetents, slackers, slugs and hasbins (all my brothers and sisters whose Life I am giving mine for) ... that fill the ranks of these groups are already serving the purpose that the FBI, CIA, NSA... would otherwise have had to infiltrate!!! I have never been more serious, better informed, or objective. My God, how did it take me 4 years to see this clearly.

There are no more than 5 that would have made it among the 1000's of high performing, high output, HUMANE, COMPASSIONATE, "GOOD" employees and associates I've had over the years in industry. Appalling lack of discipline, courage, focus, honesty, compassion, pride, humanity, sense of urgency, stamina, truthfulness, trustworthiness, follow through, RESPONSIBILITY, INITIATIVE, GENEROSITY, ALIVENESS.....

Activizm is where you go when you want to be a bumb, and feel good about yourself. OR to sanitize your wretched, middleclass overprivelege, and for some reason Church will not do for you.

THERE IS NO PEACE MOVEMENT, just like THERE IS NO CHURCH.

THERE IS NO ARMY WAGING LIFE.

There IS an army of darkness - the Corporate - Military - Industrial Complex of which virtually all my fellow Americans WAGE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION FOR, one way or another.

MY POINT IS NOT TO CONDEMN.
MY POINT IS TO WARN US ALL.
IT IS NOT TOO LATE.
THERE ARE STILL SECONDS ON THE CLOCK.

"BUNKER BUSTER" NONVIOLENT ACTION: THE DEFINITIVE ESSAY

THE DEFINITIVE ARTICLE ON "BUNKER BUSTER" NONVIOLENT ACTION:

LOVE IN ACTION - THE ULTIMATE WEAPON

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

Gandhi (paraphrase):
"What do I mean by "nonviolence?"
I mean by nonviolence the Love of a Mother for her Child.
I would have called it that but the word Love
has been corrupted beyond redemption."

"Love cannot remain passive
in the face of suffering."
Teresa of Calcutta

"If you love the poor
you WILL share their fate."
Oscar Romero

"Love is Universal
or it is not Love."

individual can still do?

ALL CURRENT AND ONGOING "PROGRESSIVE ACTIVISM" IS NO MORE THAN STRAIGHTENING THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC

[...with a few notable exceptions including Diane Wilson, Liz Hourican, Col. Ann Wright, Vandana Shiva, Amy Goodman (before being "Institutionalized"), Rick Hohensee...]

http://www.legalmoviesdownloads.com/movie_screenshots/Titanic/Titanic_3.jpg

PROGRESSIVES / CITIZENS / PATRIOTS
NEED TO OCCUPY THE WHEELHOUSE (DC),
FORCE INDUSTRY (SPEC INTERESTS)
OUT OF THE WAY TO

PROTECT THE CAPTAIN
(PRES. OBAMA) FROM
THE CORPORATIONS,
DRAMATICALLY
!!!!SHIFTING FUNDING!!!!
AWAY FROM WAR-MAKING
TO PEACE-BUILDING.
FOREVER.

NOW.

OR NEVER.

CHRISTMAS EVE TO-DEATH-OR-TO-KUCINICH HUNGER STRIKE. CUT WARMAKING, FUND PEACEMAKING $200 BILN. TO END WHEN KUCINICH SAYS "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED."

I expect to stop when Dennis Kucinich (I trust him) comes out to tell me it has been arranged, or when it is time to meet our Maker. This, the battle of the purse, the battle for ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY is the unfinished business of the American Revolution. It is now, or it is NEVER. This is the final great battle for Humane Existence. How could I have been so slow in seeing it. This is the battle worth living for, and if necessary, dying for. We owe it to those alive today, and even if we fail, we owe it to the few survivors generations hence. Let it not be said that no one put it ALL on the line in this ultimate Planetary Emergency.






THERE IS NO FEBRUARY 09. IT IS NOW OR NEVER. THE SHIP IS STEAMING OUT OF THE HARBOR AND WITHIN DAYS WILL HAVE LOCKED IN COURSE AND SPEED. UNLESS WE ACT TODAY IT IS "TITANIC" ALL OVER AGAIN; FOR THE LAST TIME.


Total Fast is expected to begin on Christmas Eve by noon Capitol Hill at the northwest corner of the Cannon House Office Building, round the clock, 7 days per week. It is imperative that millions of us take up this Vigil / Occupation / Fast immediately, or the equivalent. The Species, and the Ship we inhabit is exactly at the edge of the cliff, on its way over. We have this one, perfect chance for Salvation. Miss it, as we are likely to do, and all is lost.

The stars are miraculously aligned. The country's most promising president in history, but the President CANNOT LEAD US OUT OF THIS. To make the attempt WILL be immediate political castration.

ONLY WE THE PEOPLE CAN LEAD ON THIS DRAMATIC SHIFT OF FUNDS FROM DEFENSE TO OFFENSE, and Obama will brilliantly guide, facilitate and enable our leadership. This is political reality. You know it.

MONEY TALKS; ONLY MONEY, ULTIMATELY TALKS. Only a fundamental $200 BILLION shift in the budget will cause the rhetoric of this historic Obama campaign to become reality, and only a dramatic shift in budget from War to PeaceBuilding NOW will constitute such a commensurate, meaningful budget shift. NOTHING ELSE, NOTHING LESS WILL DO IT. EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON THIS. THIS IS A DEATH AND LIFE STRUGGLE. THE MI COMPLEX WILL FIGHT THIS TO THE DEATH. SO MUST WE-THE-PEOPLE. AND WE WOULD WIN.

These two, brief, under 2 min videos are essential for understanding this action:





Under ideal conditions a hunger strike is dangerous. 7/24 in the elements in DC adds considerable risk, but with the entire fate of Humanity hinging on the next 30 days nothing less is acceptable from me.

If you are ready to join, great! Let's talk.

If you wish to help that could mean the difference between me being carted away with brain damage, terminating the campaign prematurely. The most crucial support needed is bringing water in bottles periodically, and at the same time taking away bottles I've filled. Yup. Also, I expect to have a large battery so I can have some time online, and that will need to be taken and charged, and returned. Troy at the Washington Peace House, 202 682 4282 can fill you in and put you on a schedule (that currently is, well, blank). If Troy is not there, ask for Steve, Ellen, or leave a message.

Now, today, is the time to turn America from WarMaker to PeaceBuilder. Tomorrow is too late, and ALL will be lost.

INDISPENSIBLE. URGENT.


For 1/09, this most consequential of all months for humanity, the end, or the beginning (no 3rd option) there are two books that are indispensable:
In the meantime please study all 4 segments, deeply, as I have:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKtdNjC0j5g

GOD IS TRUTH. GOD IS NOT THE BIBLE. DUH.

"The Kingdom of God is within you.
Be like a child and enter in."

Reason, reasonableness... will not save us now. It will take a miracle. Miracles come with extreme faith.

There is nothing "mystical" about this.

This is entirely about what Sorokin called the Supra-conscious.

THANK GOD! I'VE BEEN REUNITED WITH MY FAMILY IN THE FUTURE

For a year or three I've had the "idea" that it was right for me to include in my "immediate family" not only my 6.7 billion currently born, but also 50 billion or so in the not too distant future.

But it was only 2 nights ago, as I began to truly face for the first time, as Jesus did, that the current generation may well be beyond redemption, that I united with them, they became real in my heart. Oh God, what a gift.

I think that courage, and Love are to be found, and demand that in such a wretched and wicked generation, that we hold ourselves primarily in front of, and accountable to our children's children's children, the few likely to be left after the armageddon we are choosing not to stop. They will need to know how womenmen are to live, to know that some tried, and to have models to emulate. We are dying for models, and they in generations hence must not do so.

They need as many legends as we can give them, so they avoid the traps that have doomed the majority of us alive today.

"I came not to bring peace, but to divide with a sword." Jesus

I find myself becoming much more harsh than ever I have been in my life.

I believe that anger against anyone, meanness against anyone, release against anyone, anything against anyone is ALWAYS hostility, always per se EVIL. So am I doing evil?

I think I am doing good.
  • My harshness is that of a surgeon, an MD attempting to pierce the skin with scalpel or hypodermic.
  • My harshness is that of an enlightened loved one delivering Tough Love to an otherwise dying addict; dying from denial I try to pierce.

CRAZINESS, VISION: THE SAME HALLMARK - YOU ARE ALONE IN YOUR THINKING.

WE ARE DOOMED. HUNGER STRIKE CANCELLED / POSTPONED.

Explanation in this updated video:

WE ARE DOOMED. "Many are called but FEW are chosen."

I see at long last that Jesus was infinitely more Humane / Compassionate / Loving than I'd realized. I thought He Died to save all of Humanity. But He didn't. He saw clearly that almost, ALMOST all of us were beyond redemption.

Jesus gave His life, He died to save just a few,
literally one in a million I figure.


Infinitely more Heroic, Loving, Selfless
than I had heretofore realized.

NOTHING IMPORTANT EVER BEGINS WITHOUT INDIVIDUALS. NOTHING IMPORTANT EVER SURVIVES INSTITUTIONALIZATION.

What brings this to my mind is the following:

WE ARE WATCHING THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF DemocracyNow.org!!!!!

At GreenFestival 08 here in DC I heard the most extraordinary speech by one of the world's great sheroes, Amy Goodman of DemocracyNow.

But during it a horrible quote from history was shared with great enthusiasm regarding DemocracyNow by one of her "appostles," regarding how they are institutionalizing what Amy has begun:

"Never does anything important begin without individuals.
Never does anything important continue without institutionalization."
(Yeah, like Khristianity, Unionizm, Demokracy, Buddhizm, Socializm, Communizm....)

"Never does anything important begin without individuals;
NEVER DOES ANYTHING IMPORTANT SURVIVE INSTITUTIONALIZATION,."
THIS is the Truth.

INDIVIDUALS, ALONE OR WORKING TOGETHER ARE THE ONLY SOURCE OF GREATNESS, EVER.

INSTITUTIONALIZATION ALWAYS DISPLACES, MURDERS THE INDIVIDUAL, AND THEREFORE INSTITUTIONALIZATION ALWAYS TERMINATES GREATNESS.

WE ARE WATCHING THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF DEMOCRACYNOW.ORG.
