***** SPDF Day 25: Chris Hedges - These armies of [educated liberals] serve a corporate system that will quite literally kill us
http://www.truthdig.com/report/page3/the_careerists_20120723
Christopher Browning’s collection of essays, “The Path to Genocide,” notes that it was the “moderate,” “normal” bureaucrats, not the zealots, who made the Holocaust possible. Germaine Tillion pointed out “the tragic easiness [during the Holocaust] with which ‘decent’ people could become the most callous executioners without seeming to notice what was happening to them.” The Russian novelist Vasily Grossman in his book “Forever Flowing” observed that “the new state did not require holy apostles, fanatic, inspired builders, faithful, devout disciples. The new state did not even require servants—just clerks.”
“The most nauseating type of S.S. were to me personally the cynics who no longer genuinely believed in their cause, but went on collecting blood guilt for its own sake,” wrote Dr. Ella Lingens-Reiner in “Prisoners of Fear,” her searing memoir of Auschwitz. “Those cynics were not always brutal to the prisoners, their behavior changed with their mood. They took nothing seriously—neither themselves nor their cause, neither us nor our situation. One of the worst among them was Dr. Mengele, the Camp Doctor I have mentioned before. When a batch of newly arrived Jews was being classified into those fit for work and those fit for death, he would whistle a melody and rhythmically jerk his thumb over his right or his left shoulder—which meant ‘gas’ or ‘work.’ He thought conditions in the camp rotten, and even did a few things to improve them, but at the same time he committed murder callously, without any qualms.”
These armies of bureaucrats serve a corporate system that will quite literally kill us. They are as cold and disconnected as Mengele. They carry out minute tasks. They are docile. Compliant. They obey. They find their self-worth in the prestige and power of the corporation, in the status of their positions and in their career promotions. They assure themselves of their own goodness through their private acts as husbands, wives, mothers and fathers. They sit on school boards. They go to Rotary. They attend church. It is moral schizophrenia. They erect walls to create an isolated consciousness. They make the lethal goals of ExxonMobil or Goldman Sachs or Raytheon or insurance companies possible. They destroy the ecosystem, the economy and the body politic and turn workingmen and -women into impoverished serfs. They feel nothing. Metaphysical naiveté always ends in murder. It fragments the world. Little acts of kindness and charity mask the monstrous evil they abet. And the system rolls forward. The polar ice caps melt. The droughts rage over cropland. The drones deliver death from the sky. The state moves inexorably forward to place us in chains. The sick die. The poor starve. The prisons fill. And the careerist, plodding forward, does his or her job.

SPDF Day 24: Stamina and strength waning. On the Hill for 12 hours, unable to stay conscious for 3 hours or so. But surely I can't complain, after 24 days, virtually zero calories... and I still have many hours per day where I'm functional for Palestine. No complaints. Thank you body. Thank you Spirit. Thank you Creator.

***** vlog. SPDF Day 24: The Epitaph on EVERYTHING GOOD will be that the citizens of the world’s superpower found that there was nothing beyond themselves, not even their children, that they would die for
The epitaph on everything good will be that the citizens of the world's superpower found that there was nothing beyond themselves, not even their children, that they would die for. Nothing could be more self evident for the truth seeker, but the truth seeker would die for the truth, and we have virtually none today, which is another way of stating the same epitaph - Americans chose denial over Truth and the result was the destruction of all that was good, forever.
Young Gandhi was in the process of becoming a lawyer . But he encountered two books that caused his life to do a 180 when he was a young man studying in England. One of the books was Tolstoy's "The Kingdom of God is Within You." The other was .four essays actually, by John Ruskin . An idea that was central to those essays was the assessment that the the British population could be best understood as being comprised of five groups, Doctors ,lawyers, Ministers, soldiers, Merchants. What was considered most important in these essays was that four of the five groups could be expected to give their lives for their clients when circumstances called for it. But that one of the populations, merchants, could be depended on to never do so, and to only serve their own selfish interests. Thereby they were considered a cancer on society, by other words than these.
In 2015 American these essays would clearly have the state that no population any longer existed, with the possible exception of soldiers, who would die for anything but themselves .
This is why there is no hope to save Palestine, to stop ecocide, to save the last remaining remnants of democracy or any economic life worth living in America.

SPDF Day 24: on the Hill, in the rain...
The Weather Channel said zero chance of rain this morning. It has been raining for the last hour. I have coverings for me and the computer but not for the signs. I'm hoping I have weatherproof them enough that they are not damaged. This is the last day for the next 10 days that Congress is in session. Current reports say that the rain should stop by noon which is the next time Congress is scheduled to walk. And they say zero chance of rain this afternoon.

Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya.... Your words are nice, your cowardice is CERTAIN DEATH TO PALESTINE. There is no alternative to violence except the willing placing ones own life, limb and treasure at risk for the goal, the willingness in action to die for the cause. Surely you are not so ignorant of history that you don't know this. AJ Muste, "If men are not willing to practice the way of non-violence with the same kind of commitment and recklessness of cost or consequences as they practice the way of war and as Communists work for Communism, clearly non-violence will not work." http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/international/236846-change-in-israel-will-only-come-from-outside-pressure

it’s time American Jews let all that mythology go. That’s what Obama is also nudging us towards. The most disputed territory in the Middle East is between American Jews’ ears; once American Jews give up the idea of a two-state solution, and of a Jewish state, we can proceed (calmly, I pray) to the next phase. - See more at: http://mondoweiss.net/2015/03/sitting-shiva-solution#sthash.kRFMccas.dpuf
