'SL'S ISOLATED CUZ EVERYONE ELSE IS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE.' SL
It has been stunning, and until recent years, devastatingly painful, to find that just the people and groups with whom I expected to find kinship - ZERO. Dead. Cold as Ice. Total alienation. 'peace activists,' 'churches,' 'catholic workers,' etc, etc, etc. Yesterday was a huge leap for me in terms of clarity as to what is going on -
I had a really important clarity yesterday. As you may know, but the McKibben Climate club doesn't know, or care, I've been planning this action for months. They show up here about 10am and move to just inches behind where I stand about 11am. I have a sound system blaring clips from Plan B 3.0, the 'failure is not an option' scene from Apolo 13, and my own What Start Proposes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kThsp2aAaA . Well, you can imagine their rage, and most days someone comes over, frustrated as hell, 'WILL YOU PLEASE TURN THAT DOWN? THE NATIONAL MEDIA IS HERE. WE WANT TO GIVE SPEECHES. BLAH BLAH BLAH. 'No,' is my reply. Yesterday the semi-drunk guy that came to ask me, after hearing 'no,' 3 times, in desperation added, 'WELL, WE'RE ON THE SAME SIDE, AREN'T WE?' I thought for a moment, 'No,' I replied. This was enormously clarifying for me. Thinking more of it later I realized - WE ARE ON EXACTLY OPPOSITE SIDES - YOU ARE ON THE SIDE OF 'ME,' 'SELFISHNESS,' 'DO SOMETHING AND FEEL BETTER,' and I'm on the side of 'WE,' 'BROTHERHOOD,' 'SOLIDARITY,' 'FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.' THESE ARE THE TWO EXACTLY OPPOSITE WAYS OF BEING. D, this is why you are the only compadre, and maybe Lizzie, that I have. slSee More

'Catastrophic' Vermont Floods Kill Three, Governor Blames Climate Change
MONTPELIER, Vermont, August 30, 2011 (ENS) - At least 24 people have died across eight states as a result of Hurricane Irene, according to emergency officials. After first making landfall in North Carolina on Saturday, August 27, Irene had decreased to tropical storm force by the time it reached Vermont late on Sunday. Nevertheless, the impact was devastating.... |

D50+17 'I'm 100% Certain that if anyone Lives stand with me they would or will.' SL
Of course I continuially search for, is this Hunger Strike the right way to
fight for A Future, for our lives, for a life not full of torture and needless
suffering. 'YES,' is the answer I keep getting.
Yes, I'm standing alone, 100% alone. In a graveyard you stand alone,
if you stand.
I think we're all dead - zombies, drones, humaniods - clinically. But I
don't know that, and what little hope there is to head off climate genocide
depends 100% on igniting what infinitesimally little dry wood there might
be, in time. So, 100% alone, 100% alone, I am at complete peace that
this is the right action, at the right time, in the right way. If it costs me
my life (doubtful), or my health and faculties (likely), I'm 100% at peace
with that.
Come to think of it, I suspect this is how Jesus viewed it at the end.

it goes soon, but time will tell.

This guy is dooming us all. What a whack job. On of his drones just approached me
in the park. 'Oh, we're on the same side,' he said. 'I'm with Deep Green Resistance.'
'You're going to doom all our chances with your stupid attempts at sabotage. This
will be a police state in a minute,' I said. 'It is already a police state,' this idot said.
Egypt was a police state. These guys are doom unless we ignite the right movement
