Truth is God and America is built on a trillion lies told to every citizen in every newspaper, home, history class since day one. That built on lies cannot last.

Update: since the cancer of years ago I have only about 12 hours of productive capacity per day but those are quite productive and I suppose I should be grateful for that. And I suppose I am. Much of the last six months has been spent in incremental steps of making this miraculous vehicle sustainable and stable and there is reason to think that that has been largely achieved which is a mercy. I continue to perceive that humanity is lost, has made excuses for avoiding curing the cancer of universal selfishness for many thousands of years and malignancy now is Unstoppable. But what of the few cells that could be saved? This remains my interest but the overall situation is profoundly depressing to me. Side note, I'm using all of my skills including alcohol in strong moderation each day, to enable me to fight with all of my strength. My personal experience, and my theory is, that aligning one's life to a dedication to goodness is the ultimate Human Experience and the ultimate hope for exit from the suicide collectively. The productive hours I have each day are spent on scholarly study of this issue. My perception is that to do this in natural beauty accentuates the hopefulness of this work so I do so and expect to continue to do so into the foreseeable future. So my days are spent traversing the natural beauty that is available. And to be listening to the most important scholarly works that I can find while doing so. It is agonizing to me that I cannot do more. It is severely depressing to me that I cannot do more. It is the joy that keeps me alive that I can do what I can do.

Trump is a twisted grotesque psychological and emotional cripple of a humanoid. We are now finding out if America, and the world, is no better. I am not optimistic.

A note of thanks to the benefactor that month after month after month after month has helped keep this Mission afloat.  Today turned out to be a pretty encouraging test run of so many of the little and large modifications that have taken place in recent months in part through your help. The vehicle seems to be drastically more solid now. Today's 28 Mi round trip included 1400 feet of climbing most of which was fairly moderate but there was an 11-degree grade, that's really steep. And the vehicle had the power to go up it solidly but with a lot of work, and more importantly it was able to come down it at very low speed with only a little bit of regular breaking. The regenerative braking worked well and seems to be very solid now. And some of the travel included Sandy Road fairly well packed but some loose sand and some washboard. And recent enhancements on the vehicle now enable it to travel very very slowly over such sections to avoid the horrible bouncing that washboard was delivering before. This is very encouraging. Thank you for your part in it with all your patient trusting support. James

I think it is sick, pathological, to want to be happy in this 2018 World where Evil is increasing by the second and misery is so prevalent. The joy..... of service is an entirely different matter. In my now fairly extensive study of the current scholarly work on these subjects, Joy versus happiness, there is no apparent recognition that they are two different things and certainly no study on the joy of serving. Absolutely sick.

About my nightly consumption of alcohol. Central to my work these last 20 years has been trying to understand the joyful path in a catatonically sick culture. I have believed there is one, I have spent almost all of my time on that path but occasionally I have lost it particularly as the world descends deeper into evil. For a host of reasons, by the end of Standing Rock last February, I saw that there was no hope of saving major populations on Earth. To my surprise I chose to face five years in prison by staying because....

Central to my work these last 20 years has been trying to understand the joyful path in a catatonically sick culture. I have believed there is one, I have spent almost all of my time on that path but occasionally I have lost it particularly as the world descends deeper into evil. For a host of reasons, by the end of Standing Rock last February, I saw that there was no hope of saving major populations on Earth. To my surprise I chose to face five years in prison by staying because...... I learned that I could make such a stand for my notion of what is good where prior I could only do so with the notion that there was some prayer it might help someone in need. This was a huge step for me for which I'm very grateful.. prior to that I had been devoting my life to standing with the most oppressed and brutalized populations but each time I had at least some  tiny shred of Hope  of helping those neediest. But the large hole in my life since losing all hope a year ago, the hole represented by the alcohol I've been consuming each evening, was new and associated with the lack of hoping that I could help anyone on Earth substantially. It continues to be that the notion of standing with what is good largely sustains me but still this relatively new hole. Possibly a glimmer today of what was missing. Renewal of a thought that I've had before but has moved out of my life and now may be moving back in. The people Downstream, and there will be survivors of the political moral material Holocaust that is unfolding. Living for them, trying to understand how I would instruct them, what messages I will try and send forward in a bottle, NBA example of how in fruits to live joy in the midst of hopelessness that I want to give them, that they might find joy in an unimaginably tortured world.

Human progress is the steady victory of greed over goodness with a few well-publicized shallow exceptions.

For probably 15 years I was substance-free, not to suggest that I was ever what society would consider a abuser, I never was.. I could continue that way but I am choosing to take enough beer or whiskey in the last several hours before I go to sleep to give me a pretty solid buzz. I don't think I have to do this but I choose to do so. I find that living in this 2018 World almost intolerable, the Avalanche of evil every hour every day, I find joy in fighting it but it's a real struggle. Until recent months I had a shred of Hope for the future of creation, just a shred, but it was there. No longer. Again, I think I could manage without the alcohol, but my sense is that I do better with it. And I'm able to face the next day with full energy. I'm concerned about this and I'll continue to monitor it but that's where I am so far. James

On Easter Sunday 1873, 145 years ago, hundreds of white men in Colfax County, Louisiana, took up arms after Sunday morning worship services and marched to their county courthouse to reclaim control of the local government from representatives who had been democratically elected by black and white people voting together. Standing their ground in the hopes that federal reinforcements would arrive in time, every defender of democracy at the Colfax County courthouse was murdered.

White Democrats across the South took their cue from this violent coup d’etat and developed the “Mississippi Plan,” which capitalized on the narrative of white fear to suppress black political power in the presidential election of 1876 and overturn Reconstruction through a compromise with Republican President Rutherford B. Hayes. This white supremacy campaign also sometimes goes by another name: the “redemption movement.”
