***** vlog. Priorities: Updating the blog, Compiling a Death Fast Book, Showing the way with my life of how to Free Palestine… how to pay the price for them....
(NOTE: There are two long pauses at the beginning of the video as I deal with technical issues of recording and conducting text to speech at the same time. And, obviously, there are major compromises to the the video in that I am punctuating, and speaking distinctly, for the transcription. I need to make every second count. We should all be making every second count. These are the final days of possibility and NO ONE is standing up. NO ONE.)
SPDF Day 9. Priorities: I do not know how much time I have left. Had I thought of an answer about five days ago I'd have thought just two or three weeks. I've never been so sick on any sort of a fast. Not nearly. But after being re-hydrated at the ER, and after some useful conversation there, as to diet, 100 calories or so per day to treat my extreme fatigue so that I can mobile, as I demand to be... my guess now is that this being day nine I have another month or two before going terminal. For this I am grateful. A longer show, a longer dramatization of the Holocaust, is a good thing, on Capitol Hill, Online, here in front of NPR (Nauseating Pablum Radio where I am this week till 7pm or so each night), and at the Washington Post and White House when congress is out of town and weekends.
But I don't know how long I've got. And for now I'm guessing that the nature of my online activities will change substantially.
As I noted yesterday in a crucial Blog Post (http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2015/03/pjc-of-bibi-and-barack-jvp-code-pink.html), Palestine was dying, is dying, for a lack of activists of REMOTELY the caliber, soul, commitment, embrace of the truth, determination to pay the price... that we last saw back in the sixties. So my high priority is to do some further work on my blog (which is easily gotten to by googling 'start loving,' or using the easy to remember relay site http://start-loving.blogspot.com), to devote my efforts to updating that blog, that message in a bottle I am leaving to the future, so that if after I'm gone someone's heart is awakened, someone's conscience is awakened, the curiosity of some serious soul is awakened, that I can serve them as best as possible based on my adulthood-long practice of high stakes leadership, high-stakes change, nonviolent study, nonviolent leadership, nonviolent (unviolent) practice.
Much of my time has continued to be devoted to studying the news on the extermination of Palestine and posting important stories. I'll continue the study, but I suspect I'll Post far fewer of the stories to conserve time and to avoid watering down the more strategic posts.
And the news doesn't change. It's the same moment by moment, hour by hour savagery, depravity, NAZI-esq, violation of all that is human and decent, moral degeneracy exceeded only by that of we Americans, we citizens, that sit by while our tax dollars, our weaponry, our power to obstruct in the United Nations, are used to torture, torment, terrorize, and terminate this part of the family.

SPDF Day 9: Favorite Poem of JFK before he died.
SPDF (Stop Palestines Death Fast) Day 9: I'm told this was a favorite poem of JFK, read to him by his daughter not long before his extermination, "I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air—
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.
It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath—
It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,
When Spring comes round again this year
And the first meadow-flowers appear.
God knows ‘twere better to be deep
Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,
Where hushed awakenings are dear...
But I’ve a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,
And I to my pledged word am true,
I shall not fail that rendezvous."

This meme I just created is mean and cruel. It is mean and cruel if facing the truth, the facts, in time to do something about it, regardless of how uncomfortable is, is mean and cruel. Today's liberals in, the United States at least, ever since the late sixties, never never never never never do this. They are my brothers and sisters. I love them. they have the right, legally at least, to choose what they are going to do. It is not my business to try and control what they do. it is my business to provide input, regardless of how unpleasant it may be , or a personal price, the total isolation, that it has cost me these last 6, 7, 8 years. Total exile . In my view I can think of nothing more mean and cruel than for the free Palestine movement to continue in the disgusting delusional thinking that currently and up until now embraces it. It too refuses to face the facts. It refuses to ask the question, regardless of how impossible, regardless of what would be the personal cost to me, what would it take to stop this genocide? It truly, savagely, mercilessly refuses to ask that question. If one does asked that question in light of all proven nonviolent theory, and the history of all proven nonviolent movements, then something like the meme above emerges. In a wonderful quote from Martin Luther King jr., he said, the three who walked past the victim lying by the dangerous road asked the question, if I stop, what will happen to me? The Good Samaritan ask a different question. If I do not stop, what will happen to him? If you find this post offensive, maybe you can be a little forgetting. I am on day 8 of the Stop Palestines Death Fast.3.09.2015
***** Palestine needs me (1000’s of us) to pay the ultimate price.
SPDF Day 7: Palestine needs me to pay the ultimate price. Each Palestinian child needs me to pay the ultimate price, so that maybe one less of them over the next 20 years or so has to. 1000's of us need to do the same, now, to heap up such a price, too pay such a price, that enough people on the sidelines can't bear the suffering, stand up, devote their lives to stopping this. This is the only hope. It is the only way. There has never been another way. No, it won't happen. But I'll do my part of showing the way. That's all I can do.
***** pic. Day 7: Why in front of NPR, National Pablum Radio? Without their incessant lies Israel / US couldn’t do the murdering.
SPDF Day 7: Why in front of national pablum radio? Last week in a survey their audience was rated as the most informed. If you spend hours as I have going through their so called reporting on Palestine and Israel you will find that their audience is profoundly misinformed. Invariably they refer to it as a conflict , as a war, as opposed to the brutal colonial occupation, ethnic cleansing , slow motion genocide , savage holocaust that it is. The audience of NPR is the nations intellectual elites. Thomas Jefferson believed that more important than government was the informing of the citizenry . This most elite information organization is systematically misinforming, propagandizing, lying, spouting the Israeli lies. I am here on the remotest of possibilities that between now, my death from this fast in the next month or so, weeks and months or years later someone at NPR that witnessed this death fast might have a twinge of conscience and become the journalist they probably dreamed of being when they started and stop lying and tell the truth whether it causes the loss of their job as it near certainly will, or not. I no longer have a body that is mobile on zero calories , sadly. But with the help of the emergency room visits yesterday I realize that I may have a body that can be mobile on a bottle of Gatorade every day , about 150 calories . I do not hunger strike from a cot like Gandhi did I need to be much more productive than that. I need to be mobile as I am now . Coming here is a 16 block roundtrip lugging all my gear. Surely I burn more than that 150 calories in the walk. This week there should be one more week day without rain and it is my hope I'll have the strength to be in front of the Washington Post that day. If I have the strength I hope to have, Sunday is forecast to be rain free and I plan to be on the north side of the White House. The current forecast for next week is decent weather and Congress is scheduled back in session starting Monday through Thursday and I plan to be on the hill.
