SPDF Day 6: I think a trip to the ER may be necessary.
SPDF Day 6: I think a trip to the ER may be necessary. This is the third day I'm too sick to get out of bed. This is a first. I've done a dozen or so severe hunger strikes and never anything like this sickness. Three hours ago I all but passes out with nausia when in the bathroom. Now I am sitting up and feeling a bit better. Maybe my body is stabilizing. We'll see. I think my blood chem must be all messed up and maybe the ER could stabilize that. I need to hang around at least until Congress gets back next Mon.
PS: That's odd, it seems I never posted of the ER visit. Blood work was fine, they judged me dehydrated and gave me two liters of saline. Maybe made me feel a little better. They wanted to give me a liter of glucose but to their credit they respected my wishes on the Death Fast.

The key lobbying group is the America-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), whose strategists have long known that they need to work with the wider US public in their purpose of heightening support for Israel. These strategists are aware that the most important element in this target constituency is "Christian Zionism", a phenomenon little recognised among western European politicians.

SPDF Day 4: Severe Starvation Sickness. "Mr. James, do you need an ambulance? Do you need me to buy some medications for you?" It was dear dear dear man that his been city corner in the cube where I have my bunk. I must look like hell, and he'd seen I'd been unable to get out of bed for 18 hours. I'm Praying this is the same sickness I've had on the many hunger strikes I've conducted before. Near as I can figure in the first 4-8 days the body is switching from consuming, well, me, fat, brain.... I don't recall ever being this sick before, this debilitated. I can't tell any of these guys what is going on with me cuz I think it could weird out the staff and they'd have to put me out. That would make it much much much much harder, on the streets. I'm guessing that will happen as I waste away but the later the easier. So I said, 'Mr. RJ, I'm ok. I'm very sick but I'll be ok, and it is not contagious." "I don't care if it is contagious, I just want you to feel better." It was clear that he meant it. We threw this profoundly gentle African American man in prison for years for a petty theft. The wrong people are in Prison, the victims, not we victimizers. Oh my, my typing accuracy has gone to hell. That doesn't usually happen until much much later. I've never gone on Fast without so many body parts they've taken for the cancer. All the others were training, practice, education... for this final one. I'm very grateful.

vlog. SPDF Day 3: I intend to remain functional as long as my body has strength...
vlog (upload problems, will upload tomorrow). SPDF Day 3: I intend to remain functional as long as my body has strength but I am not interested in prolonging this death fast. I expect no impact or attention before I terminate, any impact I expect will happen months or years or many years afterwards. It is patently obvious that death fast is the only weapon that we have in civil society of 2015 that can stop Palestine's death, can stop global warming, can stop the financial elite from continuing their totalitarian rule of us all. I defy you to find any 'activists' in any of these movements that will tell you when their tactics, their strategies, will result in success. These brothers and sisters of mine are cowards, they do not fight to win, they fight to feel good. I don't fight to feel good. I fight to win, willing to lose. I expect to lose, but not because I am using the wrong tactics and strategy. I am using the obviously correct tactics and strategy. I expect to lose because there are no longer enough healthy people on earth to see that this is the correct strategy, death fast, in larger and larger numbers. But I don't know that on this the most morally horrible issue, Palestines death, I don't know that there is no one that can learn from what I am doing. It is so obviously correct, it is so obviously needed, it is so obviously the only answer, that it is worth a try. What if the polio vaccine had been developed and no one chose to use it? Should it not have been developed in that case? Was it a waste of time? Jonas Salk did his job. I am doing my job. With zero support I am demonstrating this weapon. There may be someone on earth after I terminate that by my example senses the power of the weapon and is able to improve on and build on what I am doing. To remain functional as long as my body can continue I am taking vitamins, potassium, magnesium, electrolytes, plenty of liquids. I am not avoiding strenuous physical activity. Today I want several miles to secure the new poster, the vitamins, electrolytes, and herbal tea. Except when sickness from this fast, and the weather prevents me, I expect to be around DC with the posters. I pray that tomorrow Congress is in session. They are then off for a week. In the little time I have left I expect to make every moment cannont that I can with the posters. Weekends I expect to be back in front of the White House. Next week and the days that Congress is not in session I expect, finely, to haunt the Washington Post and NVR with my presence. Again, I expect to see no results from this in my lifetime. But I know that if I execute what I've described it will be seen, it will create suffering that otherwise would depend on the death of an additional Palestinians child, and by doing what I am doing fine now that I am saving a Palestinian Life, not today, not tomorrow, not next year, but by putting my life on the scale as I am I am bringing near the day of the torture of Palestine will stop.
***** vlog. SPDF Day 3: I think that anyone that does not undertake a Stop Palestine's death fast now is clinically in denial, a fool...
SPDF Day 3: A potential miracle!
A potential miracle! It is possible that today's snow day means that Congress, which was not in session today although they were scheduled to be, will be in session tomorrow which they were not scheduled to be. The reason that this could be a genuine miracle is because they are off next week and if they were not in session tomorrow them none of them will know of the Stop Palestine's Death Fast until they return the following week. The function of this death fast is to awaken conscience to some degree, to create suffering toward a level of suffering that some of these congress people cannont accept, on top of the suffering of Palestinians. Just like one soldier cannot win a battle of violence, one death faster cannot win an unviolent battle, but in both cases each soldier is part of the potential win. But if the unviolent soldier is invisible then the soldier can play no role in arousing conscience, in arousing humanity, in arousing sanity. Another part of the miracle was that staples remained open long enough, despite today's snow, to print the new poster which will announce the death fast and display how many days that it has lasted. It is only after midnight that a congressional web site displays whether they will be in session, so until then this is conjecture.
