***** vlog. SPDF Day 17:I EXPECT TO TERMINATE THIS DEATH FAST...

SPDF Day 17: I expect to terminate this death fast within the next few days. I'm no expert on missiles but I know that some are equipped with an abort mechanism.  Anyone that launches a campaign of any sort and regardless of changing circumstances is unwilling to change their plans as a zealot, a madman.  This death vast was begun on the day, on the night before, Netanyahu was here in Washington enabling Congress to demonstrate its complete corruption, and his as well.  It was a time of complete darkness.  Utter hopelessness.  Absolute shamefullness among the cowardly inadequacy of the American Free Palestine activities. 

We American activists don't do what's needed.  We do what's convenient.  We do what feels good.  We do what attracts money, followers, accolades, while enabling us to continue on with our over privileged lifestyles.  The exceptions prove the rule. 

I think that may have changed now.  No, it has changed.  The question is how substantial is the change, and will it continue. 

I posted earlier today some discussion of my analysis of the situation.  At the core is the widely covered news that the Obama Administration may have been given enough license by this criminal Netanyahu and his criminal Israeli country to act aggressively to impose the international law of record, the 1967 borders and the right of return for the 3.5 million  Palestinian refugees.  I make not the slightest assumption that tomorrow's headlines might not reverse all this.  But I do make the assumption, it is my analysis, that A. it could be substantive, and B. It changes the clarity of the situation with in which I am on Death Fast.  Even the most infinitesimal candle in a room of absolutes darkness and be seen.  Well I could be that candle on the day, and on the days since, Netanyahu was here in town.  But for the moment the room is no longer nearly so dark with these obvious considerations on the part of the Obama Administration.

I suspect that I'll not reach a final conclusion for several days.  I'll continue to watch the news for clues as to whether this is substantive or illusory.  But within hours or days I think there is an excellent chance that the best way I can serve the part of my family that is Palestine is to terminate this death fast, regain strength, continue my online work, probably continue my vigil and work, and to watch for the next point of clarity as to how I can serve, which could well be, if the next absolute darkness appears even almost immediately, to launch another death fast.

As I wrote in an immensely important post the other day, I feel not the slightest hesitation to have my life terminate now, this instant, if it can save one Palestinian in the next 20 years.  But the clarity for that at the moment may have been lost, and there may now be new and better opportunities to serve even more.  I'll see.

I will, I AM giving my Life for Palestine, for the infinite Joy of it. The only variable  is how to best serve in doing that.  I'll continue to re-calculate breath, by breath, by breath.

***** SPDF Day 17 MUST READ.: MY DEMAND IS NO LESS THAN....

 ***** SPDF Day 17 MUST READ.: My demand is nothing less than the immediate restoration and of full human rights, 100% human rights....

My demand is nothing less than the immediate restoration and of full human rights, 100% human rights, for the seven million Palestinians of my family who have been Tortured, and tormented, terrorized, dispossessed, humiliated, defiled, degraded... by the US and Israel for 68 years now.  More specifically I demand of my government that they obey the law, they stop supplying weapons to a terrorist state Israel, they stop providing funding to a terrorist state Israel, they stop obstructing in the UN almost all countries of the world in holding Israel to international law.  United States law forbids the providing of weapons to a country that uses those weapons for offensive purposes.  Israel is the quintessential example of that notwithstanding the tidal waves of Israeli lies and deceit, propaganda, to the contrary. 

My goal is not to die.  My goal is to bring about to some even minuscule measure this objective.  My goal is at minimum to save the life, to reduce by even one day, the torture and torment of one of those seven million Palestinians of my family over the next 20 years. And that I can do.

In an important post of several days ago I described the law of social change which is the law of sufficient suffering, sufficient paying the price for the change.  That is based on an extensive study of a history of change, particularly unviolent change, and is indisputably the way change happens. 

I cannot have the impact that millions of my brothers and sisters in the over privileged, colonial, terrorist, US could bring to bear by joining me and doing their part.  But I can do my part.  Mine can be one of the Lives, it will be one of the lives, on the scale of change, and when enough are added to the scale, the rest almost certainly to be Palestinian children and other inocent Palestinians, due to our collective apathy, inhumanity, cowardice on the left, in the scale will be tilted to Justice.

No, I do not expect this to happen before the last Palestinian is exterminated.  Netanyahu and his satanic minions are acting and speaking just as the Nazis did in the lead up to the extermination of the Jews.  They are absolutely the children, the psychological and philosophical and spiritual descendants, of Hitler and the Nazis.  That's not a condemnation per say.  It is a rather expected psychological fact.  Those who are abused frequently learn and adopt and practice the lifestyle of abusers.  Netanyhu and his sick, sociopathic, psychotic, post traumatic, siege mentality hoards are no exception.

I do not know what impact if any the news of today and the last several days will have on this death fast campaign.  It is possible that the game has changed dramatically now.  It has been and remains my belief that Pr. Obama is a profoundly good man and detests the human rights desecration of the Palestinians as much as I.  The great Edward Said was his professor.  Pr. Obama has just appointed his classmate from Harvard, Robert Malley, as his point man on this situation, to the fury of the Zionists.  Malley, a graduate of Yale, Harvard, Oxford, it seems unlikely to me that Pr. Obama would have appointed him to a meaningless post this month, or that Maley would have accepted. 

I consider Pr. Obama the greatest president this country has ever seen, consummately brilliant, profoundly serious, and I think it is entirely possible that he has been working to enable Netanyahu to accumulate enough rope for himself that he hang himself.  And it could be that Netanyahu did so in the final days of this past election. 

Also possible, I believe, is that Netanyahu could be in on it to some degree.  Not so much that I care, but this is quite possible.  Netanyahu could have enough sanity that he sees and cares that Israel is headed toward global pariah status in the world community for as long as Israel survives.  He could have enough sanity to see and care about this.  Im not betting on it, but it is possible.  And his calculation, possibly in consultation with the Obama administration, could have been, could be, that the only way to bring about a just resolution, given the insane Israeli and U.S.  Zionist right wing , was to maneuver such that Pr. Obama could get away with imposing it on Israel.

***** vlog. Day 17 (Capital Hill): "Palestinians... "Cheap,' 'near worthless.' This is the price that the U.S. activists, so called activists, to Free Palestine, are establishing on Palestinian Life and Human Rights.

SPDF Stop palestine's death fast the 17 (Capital Hill): "Cheap,' 'near worthless.'  This is the price that the U.S. activists, so called activists, to Free Palestine, are establishing on Palestinian Life and Human Rights.  Near worthless.  No?  Have you forgotten what setting a price, setting a value, looks like?  The marchers in Selma set the price on the life and human rights of black Americans.  The Salt Marchers in India, the marchers on the Salt Works in India, set the price, set the value, on the life and rights of Indians.  The young Egyptians in Tahrir Square set the value of Egyptian freedom, and Egyptian rights.  The International Solidarity Movement workers in Israel are setting the price on Palestinian Life.  They're setting it very high.  Rachel Corrie is the clearest example but many many other young international's are setting the ultimate value on Palestinian Life.  But their work is obscured, hidden, not only by the Zionist terrorized U.S. Media, but it is diluted to nothingness by the infinitely larger price setters, the infinitely more visible U.S. so-called Free Palestine activists. 

Now some of these so called Free Palestine activists take my breath away with their humanity and courage.  Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky a few of the heroic actions of Jewish Voice for Peace.  The BDS activists on college campuses are light years beyond my humanity, or rather my inhumanity, when I was a self absorbed air head when I was in college.  But that doesn't change the fact that the price they all are setting on Palestinian Life is 'virtually worthless.'  The value they are setting on Palestinian Life is virtually nil.  No?  The price of black lives and black freedom back in the sixties set by college students was risking their lives and careers and education and reputation by leaving their campuses, leaving their towns, leaving their homes and going in droves, to work in what must have been terrifying back reaches of the south, and or to go to prison like Parchman Prison.  Some of them paid with their lives setting the life of black life, and black freedom, at the ultimate value, at the ultimate price, where it belongs.

These are facts.  They are historically indisputable facts.  Yes, today, neither on the right for the left do we value facts.  Especially among US liberals, especially amoung US liberal 'activists.'  We value opinion.  We value group consensus (you know, circle-jerking).  We don't value historical fact.  We fear historical fact because historical fact condemns our current cowardly inaction and demands that we act differently.

***** SPDF Day 16: "Israel will become much more fanatic.....

***** SPDF Day 16: STOP. STOP AND READ THIS ENTIRE ARTICLE. NOW.  Israel will become much more fanatic and extremist than ever before with a lot less inhibitions. I am therefore worried about the Palestinians and wonder how much more of this they could possibly take and what they can expect in the next few months and years. Israel isolating itself is more dangerous for the Palestinians because world public opinion will no longer be a moderating factor on Israel’s behaviour. And believe it or not, it did have a moderating effect. What you have been seeing so far and what Palestinians have been experiencing is not yet the worst. Gaza gives you the idea of what Israel has in mind for all Palestinians. - See more at: http://mondoweiss.net/2015/03/netanyahu-won-what#sthash.otrAxBo0.dpuf

SPDF Day 16:  CAUTION:  I am on a mission. It is a mission I've been training for, preparing for, my entire life.  I have little time left to finish my work. I study, analyze, plan, replan, rethink... every day, using my lifetime of training, learning, expertise.  I am not perfect at what I do, but frankly, I see no one, no one, no one... involved in working to Free Palestine that understands the situation, needs, and required action as I do. That is neither to my credit, nor necessarily, to the discredit of others.  But it is part of my assessment of the situation.  I benefit from breathtaking minds every day.  My google alerts include some of the finest minds and souls I've ever seen - Max Blumenthal, Glen Greenwald, Jimmy Carter, Emira Hass, Norman Finkelstein, Chris Hedges, Gideon Levy, Robert Reich, Philip Weis, Noam Chomsky....  Many of these have devoted decades to bringing Justice to Palestines, and I have been devoted less than a year.  But, well, take today, for example, after the Satanyahu election.  Some of these are breathless with amazement at the results, at what it shows them about the true character of the Israeli psycho state, etc.....  I've been at this less than 9 months and they are only now seeing what I already saw clearly months ago??????  I couldn't be where I am without them, and others, but they do not have my background in analysis, visioning, ACHIEVING RESULTS, FAILURE-IS-NOT-AN-OPTION, leadership, implementation, 100% to the death solidarity with the needy.  No discredit to them. No credit to me. My point?  I seek better alternatives EVERY DAY, ANY MOMENT OF ANY DAY.  But I'm not playing, I'm a world class expert at what I do, and I have not one second to waste.  Anyone that comes my way that has an extremely well thought out, massively important comment, suggestion, addition, alternative... I'll be immensely interested and grateful.  Anyone that tries to use my time for drama, hysterics, attention to me (instead of Palestine), less than gold-standard, historically and theoretically solid alternatives, suggestions, corrections... will receive a stern, 'Good day to you,' from me.  Full Stop.  NONE OF US should have a second to waste, and I do not, and will not, whatever the price to me personally.  I'm willing to fail; I'm unwilling to not give this every nano-second of my best attention, time and effort till the end.
