Everyone would have left and gone home if gays, trans, Hispanics, blacks, or any other liberal supported group was so objectified and dehumanized as was reflexively and self righteously done throughout the entirety of that 2 hour violence training debacle to our men and women in uniform, our sisters and brothers in uniform, the police. With great sadness and a heavy heart I have departed from engagement with the Democracyspring.org activities. The infinite ocean of inclusiveness and love that was tangible for the last 10 days with those magnificent, Godly, loving, 140 Marchers from all over the country, as far away as Guam, was replaced with objectification, generalization, hatred, bigotry, discrimination, violence, abuse this morning in the typical, appalling, hateful 2 hour Violence Training that is always provided here in DC by the DC activist Club. Same hateful, arrogant, elitist, supremacist, self righteous, self-serving, divisive, ignorant lip-service liberal crap that I first saw 10 years ago upon arriving in DC. Everyone would have left and gone home if gays, trans, Hispanics, blacks, or any other liberal supported group was so objectified and dehumanized as was reflexively and self righteously done throughout the entirety of that 2 hour violence training debacle to our men and women in uniform, our sisters and brothers in uniform, in the police. I don't do violence. I don't do abuse. I don't do dehumanization. And I don't do hipocricy. I will not participate in it. Gandhi rightly said it is as much a duty to not cooperate with violence as it is to avoid doing violence, and this 2-hour violence training was disgusting violence against the human Integrity of every one of our brothers and sisters in uniform, every bit as much as is the discrimination against any segment of our population with respect to their right to vote. Silence is complicity. The last 10 days march are the happiest days of my life. Never in my life have I remotely been associated with so many loving Souls at one time, in one place, in one group. I will forever be touched, and blessed by the experience. I do not leave those Souls. I leave the spirit of hatred, violence, abuse, discrimination, bigotry, rank evil that was formerly introduced into that much larger group. Be well friends. I'm with Gandhi. 'I consider myself a soldier, though a soldier of peace.' And, 'Give me a military person to fight alongside any day, don't give me any [liberal] cowards.' How can these creatures conducting this training be so ignorant of the fact, so rigorously presented by Erica Chenoweth, in her copious research recently, that nonviolence never works, until the men and women in uniform are converted to their side? Breathtaking, criminally negligent ignorance.

***** Lol. I'm on the road. 6 in the morning my chain snapped. 4 miles out of town, territory I'm unfamiliar with. Inauspicious beginning. The whole idea of this two-week venture, DC to Philadelphia to depart Saturday on a 10-day March, democracy spring.org, back to DC for a week of Civil Disobedience including arrests, to get money out of politics, and to contribute energy toward the revolution that may be starting around the Sanders campaign that I fully support... the whole idea did not occur until midday yesterday. For a month or more I have been aware of democracy spring.org's plan but discounted it at the time as a distraction from electing Sanders. I now see it as contributing energy toward the Sanders related Revolution. And I have some fantasy on this slow March back to DC of doing constant phone banking. I'll have sufficient electricity and at walking speed I think I'll have the concentration to do it. I'll also maybe encourage others to do the same and I'll have plenty of electricity to support others in the effort as well with their cell phones. I spent the afternoon at a bike shop among other things getting the long chain tightened. Other work done as well. The vehicle is running well. I suspect that given the weight of this vehicle that every 2,000 miles or so, and that's what I've put on since July, the chain needs to be replaced. I'm stopped at a Starbucks. In College Park Maryland. There is a bike shop 2 blocks away that opens at 10. I suspect that I'll spend some time in the Starbucks and some time snoozing in the vehicle. I got 3 hours sleep last night, my mind whirring, contemplating what I needed to pack and various aspects of the trip until well after 1 in the morning. I got up at 4 and was on the road by 5:30. My urgent email and Facebook message to the organizers of this thing to see if unexpectedly they object to the idea of my vehicle making the march, I have heard no reply which is a bit disconcerting but I'll press on anyway. Assuming that I can get this chain repaired or replaced.
Ps. I'm sitting in the Starbucks and a fellow a little younger than me comes over, were you on K Street in Washington yesterday? Before answering yes, he had his cell phone where I could see it showing me the picture he had taken of the vehicle yesterday.

Help needed. Solar generators on car tops and or trailers......
I really want to see the following product line developed. My interest is not Financial, it has to do with saving the Earth from the fiery hell of global warming.
My interest is far from idle. I have miniscule means, but if by some miracle talented individuals, particularly engineering, emerge, what little monthly income I have I would be interested in putting behind such an effort, along with what talents I have or could develop for internet fundraising.
The idea is to develop to the point of feasibility ' and to promote the idea of , solar trailers and solar car tops. Did you know that 80% of residences that otherwise could use solar energy cannot do so because of the occupants being renters, or zoning, or other reasons?
You know of my solar trailer. What I am tantalized by is the possibility through a combination of things including clever folding mechanism, some sort of anchor to deal with wind issues, and even to track the Sun as it crosses the sky, to develop something that instead of being limited to about 100 Watts , could accommodate 2, 3, 400 watts (when stationary, and when wind conditions don't preclude doing so). I hope you can imagine the kind of thing I'm envisioning. Bicycles, electric bicycles, and cars be they electric cars or not, sit stationary for a long periods of the day.
Right now I'm sitting with my vehicle stationary at K Street, lobbyist Row in Washington DC, with my panel angled toward the Sun , I reposition it every couple of hours to be directly at the sun, generating electricity that I will use tonight to power some of my appliances in my apartment. If I had two or three or four hundred Watts I could easily generate enough electricity to power everything in my apartment including refrigerator and small range.
If you ever think of any talented individuals, most particularly mechanical and or electrical engineering, that might want to do even exploratory discussions on the electrical, mechanical, financing or marketing aspects of this PLEASE let me know.
And no need to consider this idea proprietary to me. As I say, I am interested in seeing it developed, my interest is not personal or financial.

***** A monumentally valuable gift for you. I received it weeks ago and I share it with you.
All of us in Western culture are taught in a million ways white supremacy. For many of us, it is taught as so benign. It is taught so unintentionally. Making it all the more Insidious.
The gift I received was a sentence that caught my eye in some article, I have no recollection of the article itself. It was the notion that people of color are the color of Earth, the color of nature. By implication, white people, like me, are not the color of Earth, are not the color of nature. More the color of death, the color of bleached bones.
Quickly this is showing promise as a tool that I was never human enough to even realize I wanted or needed. When I think to do so this notion naturally and easily allows me to catch a glimpse of we white folks as not the superior, but the mutant, the deathly mutations that in point of fact we are. It is not people of color that are in the final stages of destroying Earth. It is we white ones.
No, it is not my desire to learn to hate myself, or to view white people as inferior. But I welcome this potential 2x4 to wack some of the notion of white Supremacy out of me that permeates my every pore.
''You make my world better, just knowing that you exist.'' Surely one of the nicest things that has ever been said to me.

I suppose it was the same for the Liberals back in the 1930s in Germany.

***** Regarding Bernie and me: despite that I find him a godsend, last chance for us all, I am aware that my nervous system has kept me on the sidelines, just sending on favorable posts, but not diving in with what little resources I have or time to support the campaign. I think I have just understood why. A combination of feeling that the odds were too low that he would win the nomination, and not being drawn into efforts to win an election, that that was not promising enough. Now that it appears extremely unlikely that he will win the nomination I suspect I will begin working substantially , including limited funds, toward the campaigning. Odd, right? The reason is that now I feel that any efforts are less about getting him elected, not that that wouldn't be wonderful, but more about building, and advancing, sowing the seeds for, doing the education for.. a movement. I don't think I can resist participating in, working in furtherance of, that. And yes, this is contrary to what I had earlier said, that I would not work to advance anyone, that had not taken an unequivocal stand against the genocide of Palestine. But as I wrote last week I have undergone a substantial shift in that I seem to be finally finally finally metabolising that the disintegration of society and Humanity has begun but that there are still current and future survivors to protect and help, even in Palestine, and surely Bernie is the way Superior option in that regard for Palestine than are any of the other candidates.

One of the things I love about Sanders, and I did about Obama too, is they are very explicit about this. We ignored Obama in this obvious truth. If we elect Sanders, and we continue to ignore this obvious truth, on my god do we deserve what we get.

Friends, when people provide input on decisions I must make, such as my current Housing Choice, if I do not agree with or act in the direction of that input it does not mean I do not value it, or that I reject it, or that I dismiss it, or that I don't consider it. None of those virtually ever happens with me if someone gives thoughtful, honest input. If I do not comply or agree it is much more likely for reasons such as, I have embraced a value system that is totally contrary to the one that we have been carefully taught, for the best intended reasons, a value system that I embrace and that embraces me that is totally absolutely opposite and contrary to that which we university embrace in this now near dead rapidly dying culture, and a value system that is therefore all but incomprehensible to just about everyone but me.

If I accept the housing I think that it will enable me to attack things from a different angle and that is an experiment that might be worthwhile for a year. More than an experiment it may help me learn more quickly from a different perspective and achieve things that can benefit my work in the future. I feel very drawn to advocacy for my homeless and poor and abused brothers and sisters here in DC. See, the social services provided in DC tends to be a closed club that you cannot access, that is, you cannot assist with if you are among the homeless. They simply won't let you help. Which is pretty appalling in itself. But that's how it is. If I have housing I think it is possible that I can get a foot in the door, learn the strengths and weaknesses of the different groups and agencies as I can not do as a homeless person, and then a year from now quite possibly move back into homelessness but retain the access, leverage, and understanding I have to help those organizations do a better job than they could otherwise.

5, 10, 15 times a day, sometimes, I find myself revolted at someone I see. And then I choose to catch myself and to remind myself what life has taught me, if I had their upbringing and internal circuitry I'd be doing the same thing. I might be wrong, but that's how I see it. I chose to have them kill the cancer in me, but it didn't occur to me to hate the cancer. In fact, I'm quite certain I must have caused the cancer through really faulty eating habits. I'm just sharing.
If you support Hillary, Hell, as I know her, let's unfriend each other. My love is unconditional, but my time and attention or not, and neither should yours be.

***** Truly, in case you don't realize it, the psycho state Israel is literally at war on everything decent, everyone decent, every decency, and will gladly kill your f****** ass if they think it will help them one little bit. They are at war on the rest of the world. If you think I am exaggerating, mean in saying this, an antisemite in saying this, or anything other than truthful please unfriend me, now, would be a good time.

"Have faith," my friend said as I observed that the Titanic is going down. (In our society that almost always means have denial, have fantasy.) "What faith is that which I should have? Honesty and realism is how I think I can best serve, how I can best inform the steps in my life. Faith that doing good will help the world, attempting good will help the world, will help the Titanic, will help those on the Titanic, even as it inevitably is going down. That faith, yes," I replied.

The Titanic, US, is going down. My nervous system is just screaming that to me today. It does stuff like that, my nervous system. And far more often than not it is correct. I foolishly allowed myself a rush of optimism in recent weeks with the apparent surge of sanity from young people in the country supporting Bernie Sanders. I do think that is a show of health. But it is so miniscule, such a drop, in the ocean of evil in this country and around the world. It is a sacred drop. I try to be part of that dropp. I expect to try to be a part of that drop, and to make it a tiny bit bigger, with my last breath. But it is a drop. Titanic, she is going down. I must try and refine my understanding and strategy to avoid causing people to think otherwise, and to continue having children as a result, for example, and I must try and refine my strategy for helping others see and enter that drop of goodness which is the only psychological salvation.

All is fair in love and war. The Republicans are a fundamentalist insurgency waging war on America, on democracy, on decency. They are barbaric thugs that wish nothing but ultimate power and control. Why does the left talk about them violating rules, hypocrisy, going contrary to what they said prior.... This is really ridiculous. This is so irrelevant to what is going on. They are a mob, a bunch of thugs, at war for power and control. And they are winning.

I will vote for Bernie, or no one: Given the choice between Titanic, America, going down slowly or rapidly I choose rapidly for me and everyone I care about. I will not vote for Hillary under any circumstances, for that reason. I also will not vote for Bernie unless and until he comes out squarely against the genocide being waged on Arab Muslims of color in Palestine for 70 years now by US, Israel. A country, & a candidate, that stands for genocide is already dead. I am here for the living, not for the dead.

Those of us who are at all enlightened know reflexively, and somewhat practice, that in a personal relationship there is one thing, and one thing only that we can change, me, myself, ourself. We know almost instinctively and reflexively because we have heard it so often, that we cannot, cannot, cannot, change anyone else to achieve the change we want to see in that personal relationship. We can only change our self. But the left, the best intended, the most informed, rarely if ever carry that understanding into an arena where it is not a one on one personal relationship, but probably a situation involving many many many many people. But nothing changes with respect to the fact that the only thing that one can change is one self. I think my moment by moment reaction to the evils, the atrocities, that I spend all day studying around the world, first and foremost in Palestine, one way or another this is my reaction time and time and time again. I am horrified at the otherwise well-intended people that work to make President Obama change, the Republicans change, the deprived and frightened white people in this country change, Netanyahu change, the UN, the oil industry...change. They look to change anyone and everyone except the only person that they are in a position to change, themselves, and of course, that is the last person in the world that they intend to change.

***** Our nervous system is designed to be capable of different ways of being. These are all encompassing like operating systems, operating environments. They take constant work to build and maintain and therefore it is virtually impossible to maintain more than one or to switch from one to another. The notion of paradigm comes into play here. My early life experiences caused me to build the paradigm of oneness with creation, by whatever name, or no name at all. Not one in a million in our culture is caused to create this paradigm; rather most are discouraged from doing so by the extreme punishments for doing so. I was and AM, no credit to me, some combination of unable, and profoundly morally unwilling, to create and employ the paradigm of Group, nation, me.

By no stretch of the imagination did Obama save America. He may have turned the Titanic a tiny bit. He may have slowed the Titanic a tiny bit. Would anyone in history have done a better job? I can't think of anyone, particularly if their skin was turned black before they took office in 2008. Was he ever the well intended man I thought he was? I don't know anymore. I don't know if I ever will. My best theory is that there is a small circle that controls the government machine. They keep themselves hidden until the President is elected. And then they reveal themselves and literally scare the s*** out of him. I can't see any other way to explain Obama. http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2016/02/james-sanders-supporters-are-fraud-if.html
***** James: The Sanders supporters are a fraud, if, as we did in 2008 and again in 2012, go home after the elections as though anything significant has been won. Chris Hedges: the Democratic Party is the old Republican Party rebranded. The Sanders campaign is a fraud, and can lead to nothing but disappointment. Hedges is sadly, correct, if he is telling us that the entire Democratic machine is against us before, during, and forever after any given election. Their loyalty is to the corporate fascist status quo. Chris Hedges, our consummate, our ultimate intellectual today. A disturbing article. Maybe it is just a cry for attention by Chris. Maybe it is a poorly worded attempt to wake us up. Maybe he is attempting to give Sanders an opportunity to step things up. Maybe he is right.

Hillary is a bureaucrat, NOT a leader. You know the difference, correct? She couldn't, she WOULDN'T, lead a group of preschoolers out of a burning building. She would create policies , organize committees, phone political cronies, pontificate to the press, blame others, raise election funds and make excuses why the children can't be saved, instead. All the while believing herself to be a great leader, and deep inside knowing she is a total fraud, and terrified that others will see the truth, too.
