***** A note to my dearest.....
A note to my dearest, shared with the few others who are, or were,
close to me as well.
This will sound sooooooooooooooo paranoid.
People like me sounded reallllllllllly paranoid:
* Before the crash of 1929(?)
* Before the takeover by Hitler
* Before Nov 1947 when the faux-jews that had been taken
in lovingly by Palestinians showed themselves as the savage
unhuman Raptors they were....
I was pretty bed-ridden all day today with this cold in its
third week, but tonight and the two days prior I've been deeply
studying Chris Hedges, clearly the greatest, most prepared,
most grounded, most trained, most educated, most widely read,
most compassionate, most courageous, most experienced (war
correspondent for the NYT for 15 years during the revolutions in
south american, eastern europe, middle east.....
He made a comment, just a comment, in these hours I've been watching
online, but it hit me like a lightening bolt, the truth, and profound
impact. 'We are headed toward a massive devaluing of the currency,
near certainly, like has happened in the world at other times in
history... where it will take wheelbarrows of money to buy a loaf
of bread.
My point? Keep this possibility in mind. Just keep it in mind. Yes,
if you do, it will worry you and that is a minus, but when it comes, you
will be better psychologically prepared for it.
I suspect what it will mean for you is that you and your extended family
will come physically together and live together and by pooling your
resources, 'survive,' better than most.
You cheat yourself if you do not at least watch the video I sent the other
day, from min 15.30 all to the end, several times if needed, and even
then research further.
I am not chastising you, telling you what to do,
trying to shame you into it.... The chances that within the next 10 years
the middle class ship, ocean liner, you live on does not change hugely
for the negative are very low. I think you are better off facing it now,
than having the entire shock of it come on you all at once.
***** Given the inexpressible, not-to-be-stopped, horror of a 'future' that we are every second allowing to be unleashed on Amerika and the world, THE MOST MORAL ACT I can think of is the responsible attempt to stop the birthing of new children into this soon undeniable, inescapable living Hell. The most IMMORAL, CRUEL, SELFISH, HATEFUL, UNFORGIVABLE act I can think of is to bring a new life into this unfolding HELL. FOR THE SAKE OF THESE UNBORN SOULS... THINK... OF THEM, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR THEM.

NOT to Canada which is just a few years now behind Amerikkka in the race toward Totalitarianism, but to Scandinavia (well, that is if you are Caucasian.)

***** I wish I could find hope in the approach of the Nile project, breaking down the barriers between people, learning the similarities, learning to like them. I wish I could find hope from this approach but I do not. It was the approach that my generation embraced and it has not slowed, it probably has lubricated, our race off the cliff to oblivion. I've spent the last several days studying who I now consider by far the most important prophet on Earth today, Christopher Hedges. For two decades, among other things, he was a war correspondent for The New York Times covering revolutions in Eastern Europe, South America, around the world. He has sacrificed all the trappings of that, leaving the New York Times, so that he could freely write, speak and live the truth. Three things in the many hours I've watched these last several days, come especially to mind regarding the Nile project. 1, to the Sunis and Shia in iraq it was inconceivable that they would never turned on one another. They were friends, they were intermarried. And now they are trying to slaughter 1 another. 2, he observe that the people he has seen lead profound positive change did it not because they thought they should, not because they thought it was a good idea, they did it because they could not do otherwise, by their very constitution, they could not sit by in the face of the evil, they could not fire on innocent people, etcetera. 3, he said you cannot teach morality, you can only live it, and I think, he meant, there by become something that can awake in the same in others, and thereby spread . Now, my point is not to denigrate the nile project. To the degree that people involved are taking extreme personal risk, risking everything, to bring peace through this project, because they find that personally they cannot do otherwise, then it is exactly what Hedges and I have come to understand is required.

Obama's short memory. "The question is: Why since its inception 14 centuries ago, did the Muslim world not generate or incubate the kind of violent extremism that we witness today? If it's not religion, as the president argues, and I concur it is not, what drives it? The short answer: continuous war, occupation and oppression."

***** vid. Chris Hedges: The Myth of Progress and the Collapse of Complex Societies..... If you ever wanted to know to the next level what forces have been acting on me, and that I've been responding to, I've just seen, and you could see them too, in this long, dry, BRILLIANT, PROPHETIC video.
If
you ever wanted to know to the next level what forces have been acting
on me, and that I've been responding to, I've just seen, and you could
see them too, in this long, dry, BRILLIANT, PROPHETIC video. I feel
forces years, decades, before I can identify what they are. This is a gift I leaned to trust and follow many decades ago. Chris Hedges, who I consider the Greatest intellectual of our age, has allowed himself to feel and respond to the same forces... but has devoted decades starting much earlier than I, to academically understanding what is going on.
3 years ago my body just started acting broken. I assumed it was 'old age' and the abuse from my Radical Service choices. About 2 years ago Doc Cardile and others began showing me 'academically' what was going on. Monday, only this Monday, I came to understand it at the level of 'stage 4 cancer possibly in remission.'
In watching this video just now I feel like I've just had the 'medical team' explain technically, academically, comprehensively, what has been 'going on' with my life for the last 15 years or so.
I am NOT asking you to watch it. That's entirely up to you.
I've come across it because while my health and the weather are forcing me indoors I'm taking a deep dive on study in a range of related subjects, and Chis Hedges is at the forefront of people that have done much of the intellectual work I need to profit from.
Note: I did NOT bother with the intro to this vid. Chris begins at about 15:30.

Cancer Update. I asked my oncologist today when we met to describe my situation. She said, 'Unfortunately, you are a stage four cancer patient... but fortunate.' She further explained, your cancer learned how to send out seeds and so far we've seen seeds growing into tumors in your liver and more recently your lung. But your scan of two weeks ago is clean, and it has been a year since your chemo and liver section. So, for now, we need to watch you carefully and frequently to see if any other seeds decide to grow, pretty intensively for the next 3 years or so. We'll do CT scans every 4 months for now, to see if anything grows. We'll do another colonoscopy asap, she does not want to wait. Within the next several weeks I expect. She emailed the specialist and we need to schedule something. But she said, 'this is really your first 'well baby' visit, we call it. We need to look at diet and exercise now. You walk quite a bit so I think you are ok with exercise. I want to you to take three things daily, pills: children's aspirin, fish oil, and calcium with vitamin D. My next consult, ct scan with blood work is end of May. Must make every day count... for my most desperate family... in Palestine.

***** Palestinians prepare 'Diplomatic (AND NON-VIOLENT) Intifiada' - According to this official, the Palestinian leadership is contemplating how to deal with this situation. He claims that the region and the world will hear about Palestine in two forms come April 2015. The first new front line would be a "diplomatic intifada," calling on international and regional frameworks for conflict resolution and statehood, based on international law. This diplomatic attack will be followed by a nonviolent popular intifada that will combine more demonstrations around settlements, the separation wall and East Jerusalem. He said, "This is the time for independence either by diplomacy as a kind of a war of independence."
