****Tribute to a Humanitarian
On 2-19-09, in her remarkable on-line diary, Mia Farrow posted this anonymous "Tribute to a Humanitarian" from a woman in Somalia:
If you see a world torn by famine and war and feel in some way responsible, you know the meaning of love.
If you see people with little or no hope and believe their survival is somehow linked to your own, you know the meaning of brotherhood.
If you feel those of us who have been blessed with abundance should share with those less fortunate, you know the meaning of charity.
If you can travel to the end of the world to bring hope to those who would otherwise never know it, you know the meaning of courage.
And if you can see a smile in the faces of those who should have no reason to smile, you know that there is still time."

Fw: My greatest personal fear: "CHURCH." CHURCH HAS BEEN THE ULTIMATE THREAT TO MY LIFE; IT REMAINS MY / OUR PERSONAL "TERRORIST" NETWORK
<<< THE CHURCH. There have been many threats to my Life, but periodically, entirely unbidden it comes to me that "Church" has been the most terrifying, most potent threat to and barrier in my arrival at Life; my RETURN to Life, my 
RECOVERY of Life.The "Church" IS "Smith" in the matrix. They seem these nice folks, but their sole purpose is to "find" those with inclinations that "things are not quite right with the status quo," and to find them and pull them back into the matrix, using whatever hypocrisy, deception, lies and deceit it takes. I thank God I finally, after many decades of struggle, and only through the Grace of God escaped. UTTERLY TERRIFYING TO ME. The ultimate nurse Ratchet / Cuckoo's nest. And they continue to murder my most promising "family" and I can't defeat them, yet.THE CHURCH >>>

******President Obama wins big points with speech; poll shows 80-88% SUPPORT after first address to Congress
[SL here: I FREQUENLY here, "Well, I wonder how Obama is going to to on XXXX or YYY issue." Hmmm. That strikes me like the members of a losing basketball team, a bunch of underperforming slugs, upon learning that Michael Jordan is joining the team saying, "Hmmm, I wonder how Michael is going to do." What!?!?!??! I WONDER HOW WE-THE-SHEEPLE ARE GOING TO DO. ARE WE GOING TO GET OUT OF OUR DRUG DENS AND INTO THE STREETS TO FIGHT FOR THE SURVIVAL OF AMERICA AND THE PLANET?

Three set themselves on fire in central Beijing
[I was horribly appalled as a spoiled, stupid, western, "ruling class" youth at the self-immolation of the Buddhist monks to end the Vietnam War. I thought they were just plain wrong. Dr. MLK on the other hand, was finally awakened by them to his full Humanity, and the speech at Riverside Baptist that got him murdered exactly a year later to the day, DEMANDING an end to the Vietnam Genocide was inspired by those same expressions of ultimate human outcry to Humanity. "THERE COMES A TIME, when silence is betrayal," MLK. SL]

Three people set themselves on fire in the heart of downtown Beijing on Wednesday, state media and a witness said, and city police said they appeared to have come to the capital to voice "personal complaints". The trio set off the blaze in their car just before 3 p.m. (0700 GMT) at the intersection of the city's main Chang'an thoroughfare and high-end shopping street, Wangfujing.

*****Harvard professor named to Pentagon post Weapons-buyer appointee has criticized stockpile
http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2009/02/24/harvard_professor_named_to_pentagon_post/
BOSTON GLOBE: President Obama nominated yesterday Harvard professor Ashton B. Carter, a leading authority on arms control and a longtime academic, to serve as the Pentagon's chief weapons buyer.The choice of Carter to run the office that oversees hundreds of billions of dollars for new weapons and research - and is the focus of intense lobbying by defense firms, retired generals, and members of Congress - sparked concern within the defense industry and parts of the Pentagon bureaucracy when it was first rumored last month.But that may be exactly what Obama and Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates wanted.

REUTERS: Democratic chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Carl Levin, said legislation aimed at preventing chronic cost overruns in many Pentagon weapons programs would be introduced this week."It will create a presumption that a (weapons) system will not continue" if there is a cost overrun, Levin told a gathering at the White House looking at government procurement contracts."It breaks that barrier. That defense system will not be built," Levin said. "Enforcement teeth will be restored in a bill that we will be introducing today or tomorrow."

START'S SHORT TERM PLANS
Beloved comrades,
I hope you are all well!
I'm pondering how to best serve next. Hope you don't mind me talking out-loud to you about it.
This Obama character continues to blow me away - greatest leader in the history of the world - will not amount to a hill of beans if we-the-sheeple don't get on the field of battle - but we are - more than I've seen before on many fronts - especially environmental - but environmental impacts war and economy - budgets! "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste." Obama. Yup!!!!!
My youtube following is up to almost 280 Subscribers - which means everything I publish they scan through at some time, if only the title. That is probably a pretty big source of influence by me on a self-selecting, "radicalized" audience. Of them110 are "Friends" which means videos I publicize specially they see twice, and immediately, if only my inflamatory titles! :-) . They can drop the chanel any time, but instead, both lists are increasing by 2 or 3 per day. Hmmmm. Half a million viewings so far about 5 active months so far.
The two new blogs you may have seen (below - HomeearthSecurity and America$BleedingWar$...) - I'm getting better at formatting and designing the sites (take a look) and sharpening up the POSTS so it is becoming a quite valuable source on those subjects IMHO. Only a handful of "subscribers" to the daily summary so far, but it is educating me greatly on the issues (my original, sole intent) and might grow in audience too. So far, I think these sites fill a very strategic niche. If you have NOT subscribed (I would have no way of knowing - it is blind) I really suggest you try it. It is quite good! You can drop instantly that you want to. Tell others, if you agree it is valuable.
Whereas I'd like to be on the Hill starting tomorrow, I think that with all the huge dynamics unfolding right now here in DC, I might better serve by being a "News" "channel" for a while longer, and contnue with a daily evening shift at the White House signs, and being some addional help at the Peace House...
Yes, I know you will like the idea of me being out of the cold a bit longer. Me too! But that is not a determining factor - comfort I mean. How best to serve is the question.
Thanks for letting me share.
Eager for any thoughts you may have, but feel NO obligation to respond.
Your loving brother.

"MAN DOES NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE." JESUS' GREATEST UNDERSTATEMENT
Man does not live by bread AT ALL. This is my Testimony. It is now years since I've had any fear of physical death. Why? Because I am so totally hooked on Life - Serving the least of these my family. THIS IS THE LIFE JESUS DIED TO GIVE US.
There is nothing more important in my Work, in The Work, than Living this truth - Living On and For the Unconditional Love provided by God / Reality / How it Is - and accepting the consequences when it is Not offered.
Why important? The scene from It's a Wonderful Life comes to mind - poor example - but it will do. How did Clarence Save our Hero? He put his life in his hands.
I don't PUT my life in my brother's hands, I ACKNOWLEDGE that my life is in my brother's hands, and refuse to Live the lie that it is not - fatal Enabling.

** Israel's targeting of civilian resistance to the separation wall
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/feb/20/israelandthepalestinians-israeli-elections-2009
GUARDIAN: Israel's targeting of civilian resistance to the separation wall proves the two-state solution is now just a meaningless slogan.
GUARDIAN: Israel's targeting of civilian resistance to the separation wall proves the two-state solution is now just a meaningless slogan.
it is quite likely that you have not heard of the most important developments this week in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the West Bank, while it has been "occupation as normal", there have been some events that together should be overshadowing Gaza, Gilad Shalit and Avigdor Lieberman.
First, there have been a large number of Israeli raids on Palestinian villages, with dozens of Palestinians abducted. These kinds of raids are, of course, commonplace for the occupied West Bank, but in recent days it appears the Israeli military has targeted sites of particularly strong Palestinian civil resistance to the separation wall.
For three consecutive days this week, Israeli forces invaded Jayyous, a village battling for survival as their agricultural land is lost to the wall and neighbouring Jewish colony.!!! Wake Up Call: Activists Visit 'The Army Experience'
On Monday, February 16th about 50 activists decided to take a trip to the Franklin Mills Mall right outside Philadelphia, PA to get their look at a new "store". "The Army Experience" (AEC), as it is called, built by the taxpayers to the tune of $12 million, attracts local kids to play video games, most of which are high tech simulations of combat situations.
The group was made up of members from all over the area. World Can't Wait from New York City and Philadelphia; Delaware Valley Veterans of America; Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW); Veterans for Peace from the Philadelphia area; CodePink Women for Peace; Granny Peace Brigade; and, the Brandywine Peace Center converged on the mall at about 10:30 AM, greeted by a heavier than usual security force.2.20.2009
ANTIWAR: U.S.-Israel Storm Clouds Ahead? [With Jesus and King we just sat back and watched. With Obama?]
http://www.antiwar.com/lobe/?articleid=14282
But the clear priority stabilizing Southwest Asia is being given by the new administration and the abrupt change in the rhetoric emanating from Washington about Iran – not to mention abiding concerns regarding Iran's ability to destabilize Iraq – clearly run counter to Israel's efforts to depict Tehran's nuclear program as, in Netanyahu's words, "the greatest challenge facing the leaders of the 21st century..." And it will surely make it more difficult for him or anyone else in the next Israeli government to "harness the U.S. administration to stop the threat."

!!!! CONSORTIUMNEWS: Obama [has a DANGEROUSLY] rising tide of dangers around him.
http://www.consortiumnews.com/2009/022009.html
Only one month into his presidency, Barack Obama is finding himself confronting not only George W. Bush's left-behind crises but an array of influential enemies in the military, financial circles, the political world and the media – determined to thwart Obama's agenda for "change."
Though Obama has maintained his trademark equanimity in the face of this resistance, he appears to be sensing the rising tide of dangers around him.CHI. SUN TIMES / HARRIS POLL: Obama beats out Jesus as America's #1 hero
