"BUNKER BUSTER" NONVIOLENT ACTION: THE DEFINITIVE ESSAY
THE DEFINITIVE ARTICLE ON "BUNKER BUSTER" NONVIOLENT ACTION:
LOVE IN ACTION - THE ULTIMATE WEAPON
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gandhi (paraphrase):
"What do I mean by "nonviolence?"
I mean by nonviolence the Love of a Mother for her Child.
I would have called it that but the word Love
has been corrupted beyond redemption."
"Love cannot remain passive
in the face of suffering."
Teresa of Calcutta
"If you love the poor
you WILL share their fate."
Oscar Romero
"Love is Universal
or it is not Love."
Start Loving
Is there anything an
individual can still do?

SPIRITUAL DEATH: "A COUNTRY THAT SPENDS MORE ON THE MILITARY...
"A COUNTRY THAT SPENDS
MORE ON THE MILITARY
THAN IT SPENDS ON SOCIAL UPLIFT,
IS APPROACHING SPIRITUAL DEATH."
The U.S. Budget is the only
place, the only "real" place that
"Obama's" change, the only place
that the U.S. people's change,
and the only place the world's change
can take place.
Anything and everything else
is simply a mirage,
and our loved ones are almost dead
of thirst.

ALL CURRENT AND ONGOING "PROGRESSIVE ACTIVISM" IS NO MORE THAN STRAIGHTENING THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC
[...with a few notable exceptions including Diane Wilson, Liz Hourican, Col. Ann Wright, Vandana Shiva, Amy Goodman (before being "Institutionalized"), Rick Hohensee...]

CHRISTMAS EVE TO-DEATH-OR-TO-KUCINICH HUNGER STRIKE. CUT WARMAKING, FUND PEACEMAKING $200 BILN. TO END WHEN KUCINICH SAYS "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED."
I expect to stop when Dennis Kucinich (I trust him) comes out to tell me it has been arranged, or when it is time to meet our Maker. This, the battle of the purse, the battle for ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY is the unfinished business of the American Revolution. It is now, or it is NEVER. This is the final great battle for Humane Existence. How could I have been so slow in seeing it. This is the battle worth living for, and if necessary, dying for. We owe it to those alive today, and even if we fail, we owe it to the few survivors generations hence. Let it not be said that no one put it ALL on the line in this ultimate Planetary Emergency.
THERE IS NO FEBRUARY 09. IT IS NOW OR NEVER. THE SHIP IS STEAMING OUT OF THE HARBOR AND WITHIN DAYS WILL HAVE LOCKED IN COURSE AND SPEED. UNLESS WE ACT TODAY IT IS "TITANIC" ALL OVER AGAIN; FOR THE LAST TIME.
Total Fast is expected to begin on Christmas Eve by noon Capitol Hill at the northwest corner of the Cannon House Office Building, round the clock, 7 days per week. It is imperative that millions of us take up this Vigil / Occupation / Fast immediately, or the equivalent. The Species, and the Ship we inhabit is exactly at the edge of the cliff, on its way over. We have this one, perfect chance for Salvation. Miss it, as we are likely to do, and all is lost.
The stars are miraculously aligned. The country's most promising president in history, but the President CANNOT LEAD US OUT OF THIS. To make the attempt WILL be immediate political castration.
ONLY WE THE PEOPLE CAN LEAD ON THIS DRAMATIC SHIFT OF FUNDS FROM DEFENSE TO OFFENSE, and Obama will brilliantly guide, facilitate and enable our leadership. This is political reality. You know it.
MONEY TALKS; ONLY MONEY, ULTIMATELY TALKS. Only a fundamental $200 BILLION shift in the budget will cause the rhetoric of this historic Obama campaign to become reality, and only a dramatic shift in budget from War to PeaceBuilding NOW will constitute such a commensurate, meaningful budget shift. NOTHING ELSE, NOTHING LESS WILL DO IT. EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON THIS. THIS IS A DEATH AND LIFE STRUGGLE. THE MI COMPLEX WILL FIGHT THIS TO THE DEATH. SO MUST WE-THE-PEOPLE. AND WE WOULD WIN.
These two, brief, under 2 min videos are essential for understanding this action:
Under ideal conditions a hunger strike is dangerous. 7/24 in the elements in DC adds considerable risk, but with the entire fate of Humanity hinging on the next 30 days nothing less is acceptable from me.
If you are ready to join, great! Let's talk.
If you wish to help that could mean the difference between me being carted away with brain damage, terminating the campaign prematurely. The most crucial support needed is bringing water in bottles periodically, and at the same time taking away bottles I've filled. Yup. Also, I expect to have a large battery so I can have some time online, and that will need to be taken and charged, and returned. Troy at the Washington Peace House, 202 682 4282 can fill you in and put you on a schedule (that currently is, well, blank). If Troy is not there, ask for Steve, Ellen, or leave a message.
Now, today, is the time to turn America from WarMaker to PeaceBuilder. Tomorrow is too late, and ALL will be lost.

INDISPENSIBLE. URGENT.
For 1/09, this most consequential of all months for humanity, the end, or the beginning (no 3rd option) there are two books that are indispensable:
- "People's History of the United States," Howard Zinn, for seeing the true face and substance of America.
- "The Great Turning," David Korten. This guy is blind emotionally, but intellectually he is brilliant and this book is an indispensable analysis of where we are and where we need to go. I IMPLORE YOU TO GET IT, READ IT, MASTER IT, AND TAKE US BEYOND. I am in the process myself.

GOD IS TRUTH. GOD IS NOT THE BIBLE. DUH.
"The Kingdom of God is within you.
Be like a child and enter in."
Be like a child and enter in."
Reason, reasonableness... will not save us now. It will take a miracle. Miracles come with extreme faith.
There is nothing "mystical" about this.
This is entirely about what Sorokin called the Supra-conscious.

THANK GOD! I'VE BEEN REUNITED WITH MY FAMILY IN THE FUTURE
For a year or three I've had the "idea" that it was right for me to include in my "immediate family" not only my 6.7 billion currently born, but also 50 billion or so in the not too distant future.
But it was only 2 nights ago, as I began to truly face for the first time, as Jesus did, that the current generation may well be beyond redemption, that I united with them, they became real in my heart. Oh God, what a gift.
I think that courage, and Love are to be found, and demand that in such a wretched and wicked generation, that we hold ourselves primarily in front of, and accountable to our children's children's children, the few likely to be left after the armageddon we are choosing not to stop. They will need to know how womenmen are to live, to know that some tried, and to have models to emulate. We are dying for models, and they in generations hence must not do so.
They need as many legends as we can give them, so they avoid the traps that have doomed the majority of us alive today.

"I came not to bring peace, but to divide with a sword." Jesus
I find myself becoming much more harsh than ever I have been in my life.
I believe that anger against anyone, meanness against anyone, release against anyone, anything against anyone is ALWAYS hostility, always per se EVIL. So am I doing evil?
I think I am doing good.

I think I am doing good.
- My harshness is that of a surgeon, an MD attempting to pierce the skin with scalpel or hypodermic.
- My harshness is that of an enlightened loved one delivering Tough Love to an otherwise dying addict; dying from denial I try to pierce.
WE ARE DOOMED. "Many are called but FEW are chosen."
I see at long last that Jesus was infinitely more Humane / Compassionate / Loving than I'd realized. I thought He Died to save all of Humanity. But He didn't. He saw clearly that almost, ALMOST all of us were beyond redemption.
Jesus gave His life, He died to save just a few,
literally one in a million I figure.
Infinitely more Heroic, Loving, Selfless
than I had heretofore realized.

NOTHING IMPORTANT EVER BEGINS WITHOUT INDIVIDUALS. NOTHING IMPORTANT EVER SURVIVES INSTITUTIONALIZATION.
What brings this to my mind is the following:
WE ARE WATCHING THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF DemocracyNow.org!!!!!
At GreenFestival 08 here in DC I heard the most extraordinary speech by one of the world's great sheroes, Amy Goodman of DemocracyNow.
But during it a horrible quote from history was shared with great enthusiasm regarding DemocracyNow by one of her "appostles," regarding how they are institutionalizing what Amy has begun:

Never does anything important continue without institutionalization."
Never does anything important continue without institutionalization."
(Yeah, like Khristianity, Unionizm, Demokracy, Buddhizm, Socializm, Communizm....)
"Never does anything important begin without individuals;
NEVER DOES ANYTHING IMPORTANT SURVIVE INSTITUTIONALIZATION,."
THIS is the Truth.
NEVER DOES ANYTHING IMPORTANT SURVIVE INSTITUTIONALIZATION,."
THIS is the Truth.
INDIVIDUALS, ALONE OR WORKING TOGETHER ARE THE ONLY SOURCE OF GREATNESS, EVER.
INSTITUTIONALIZATION ALWAYS DISPLACES, MURDERS THE INDIVIDUAL, AND THEREFORE INSTITUTIONALIZATION ALWAYS TERMINATES GREATNESS.
INSTITUTIONALIZATION ALWAYS DISPLACES, MURDERS THE INDIVIDUAL, AND THEREFORE INSTITUTIONALIZATION ALWAYS TERMINATES GREATNESS.

UNREASONABLENESS: EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON IT NOW
"The reasonable man adapts himself to
the conditions that surround him...
The unreasonable man adapts surrounding
conditions to himself...
All progress depends on the unreasonable man."
George Bernard Shaw
"People are always blaming their
circumstances for what they are.
I don't believe in circumstances.
The people who get on in this world
are the people who get up and look
for the circumstances they want,
and if they can't find them, make them."
George Bernard Shaw
"Forget about likes and dislikes.
They are of no consequence.
Just do what must be done.
This may not be happiness, but it is greatness."
George Bernard Shaw
"A life spent making mistakes
is not only more honorable
but more useful than a life spent doing nothing."

CRIMINAL: I AM AND ALMOST CERTAINLY YOU ARE.
Literally and actually.
Criminal neglect - LITERALLY a Crime Against Humanity. You are guilty. I am guilty.
The homeless, the 2 million in prison, the 100's of millions that will be displaced or killed by our murder of THEIR environment.... THEIR BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS, AND MINE.
Negligent homicide through my massive consumption of goods that were life itself to present and future generations.
