***** vid. The Joy of Loving is the only thing worth living for.


A man I respect took me to task yesterday for my bold stance in support of Pr. Obama. My reply: "The INSTANT I conclude that Pr. O PREFERS, not abhors, such policies (drones, targeted killing, Guantanamo, deportations, fracking, TPP, Israeli Extermination of Gaza...) I'll be his most strident opposition. Dietrich Bonhoeffer abhorred killing... but set his life's course to murder Hitler. Yes, the targets in these cases differ but the core moral dilemma is the same - striving for the impossible - how to be 'good' in a near totally, totally, totally, totally, totally... evil world."

***** vid. RT. Why Doesn't the Media Care About Dead Palestinians?

***** vid. Young American Jew stands for Peace - Mugged by Police


***** STOP. WATCH NOW. DID YOU KNOW... GAZA. SHARE

nd. There is little or anything more politically dangerous for anyone in the US middle class, career dangerous, than standing for what is right in Palestine.

nd. The two greatest evils in the world, I've perceived for 5 years now... are the burning of fossil fuels (BY ANYONE) and any of us allowing the right wing Israeli extermination, genocide, of Palestine.

nd. I pledge allegiance to all of creation and to the unconditional loving from which it expands, One universal family, of the heart, with solidarity and joy for all.

Article: Satanyahu: So many Palestinians to exterminate. So little time.

See pic. Gandhi. Never be afraid to do what's right especially if the safety of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the destruction of the soul which results if you do not. Paraphrase. See pic.

nd.To those few traveling with me: Number one, my comments are never directed at you, although sometimes I think you feel that they are. :-) number two, all of us with hearts, tend to see history, historical figures, as though they knew the outcome beforehand. At least, I think most people do. Rosa Parks fought alone for decades before she's sat on that bus. She didn't know she would win. She didn't know anyone would notice. She knew only that she was going to fight. (Correct, Diane Wilson? :-) )

Article. Important read. Six studies that prove Republicans wrong wrong wrong

Friends, please hear me. Immediately, please stop talking directly to trolls, Republicans, climate change deniers, Tea Party... It feeds them and bleeds you. Instead, hear them, Pivott, and address the onlookers in a way appropriate to what this idiot traitor just set up for you. It will shame them, enrage them, and to them and the onlookers it will express you're all important disdain, disgust, and disrespect with what they are doing. Please consider this deeply and implement immediately.

Loving is the only True religion. Serving the neediest, from the soul, in solidarity. "Organized" religion is justified ONLY to the extent it makes us Loving.

ON OUR WATCH. ON OUR US $$$ - HOLOCAUST 2014 - ISRAELI/US EXTERMINATION OF PALESTINIANS.

ON OUR WATCH.  ON OUR US $$$ - HOLOCAUST 2014 - ISRAELI/US EXTERMINATION OF PALESTINIANS.

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.

I am NO fan of Hamas, and obviously I am no fan of the Satanyahu gov'. And I am morally and STRATEGICALLY against the use of force by Hamas - I think they have the theoretical 'moral' right and international 'legal' right but every rocket they fire, every person they kill is certain of one thing, and one thing only - the brutal death of 100 Palestinians... it IS CRIMANALLY STUPID STUPID CRUEL STUPID STUPID STUPID. (Read Erica Chenoweth's recent studies on the historical stupidity of violent conflict. look for the torrents)

Facebook pic. It takes courage to stand up to your opposition. It takes more courage to stand up to your family and friends.

A nice fella, reporter for The Washington Post, just stopped by and we chatted. He is curious about why so few demonstrators seem to be out and he may do a story on that. Once he sees my facebook page and how I am excoriate ing my brothers and sisters in Israel for their savagery I suspect that is the last he and I will speak. :-(

Headed to the emergency room for x-rays. My hip totally froze up exactly in the middle of Independence Avenue up on Capitol Hill. Had a passing democratic Staffer not noticed my plight I would still be in the middle of the road.

***** Activinos (activists in name only) do infinitely more damage than non activists. [This is going to come out so mean. But I am NOT feeling mean, or intending to be so at all.] Teresa of Calcutta said of the church, ' the greatest obstacle to people becoming Christian are those who preach the gospel but do not practice it.' Gandhi said 'if Christians would practice their Creed there would be no more Hindus.' We instantly see the truth of this, right? But not when it comes to activism, activinos do not see it in themselves. We deny it with all of our might. Maybe you knew what the English translation of the Greek for 'acting' is. I had no idea until a few years ago. Hypocrisy. Hypocrisy, in the Greek, means to 'act the part.' Now acting, can be a noble pursuit, right? Unless it is undisclosed acting, acting the part of a brain surgeon, for example. Then, it can be a murderous crime. Activinoism is such a murderous crime. Albert Schweitzer spoke what is probably my favorite quote of all time, 'example is not the major thing in influencing people. It is the only thing.' If activists show that we do not really need to pay a dear price for what we want, that mere 'acting' will suffice, well then, A. Those who are influenced by such activists will do no more then the same, and B. Do you really think that the onlookers, and the opposition, cannot tell the difference between an actor and the real thing? The activino(s) himself has strong motivation to deceive himself. But the onlooker, and the opposition, have ample motivation to see the truth, the hypocrisy, and by gum, they always do!!! They always do. This is the 50th anniversary of the Freedom Summer. Does anyone today think those folks were acting? It was even immensely difficult, near impossible, for the most evil opposition, or the most cowardly onlooker, to think that those folks were acting back then. Why? Because what an activist does, what a true activist always always always always does, is offer to pay, in unmistakable terms, an ungodly price, and sometimes, unflinchingly, unfailingly, willingly pay the price if it is demanded. Watch Freedom Riders. Watch Gandhi. Watch Iron Jawed Angels. Watch Malala. Watch Diane Wilson in the mini documentary Texas Gold on Hulu and YouTube ( where I pirated it and put it up years ago). Oh, and by the way, if you watch or deeply ponder any of those folks, ask yourself this question: yes, as true activists, they pay an ungodly price, but would they rather be acting? :-) . LOL. Activism is just another word for loving, for serving the from the soul in solidarity with the neediest. This is the ONLY physiological source for joy, for the generation of joy for oneself. And it is generated with every breath for the true activist regardless of the material hell they invariably bring upon herself. Why else would folks like Jesus do what they do? They are simply the enlightened greedy, and if there is to be a future for creation it is long past time to learn to follow their example, greedily. Gandhi did not say 'act,' or preach of, or demand.... the change you wish to see in the world. He said 'be the change you wish to see in the world.' Be the change you wish to see in the world. It is the joy, the only joy, that surpasses all understanding.
