D85 40 'Marching to Block Hell's Gates With My Life.' (1) SL txt youtube
15:29 
The form of this march for me, to Hell's gates, to block it with my body, for as long as I can, is to resume my zero net calorie hunger strike, taking vitamins, 0 cal electrolytes, and nothing else. Starting at midnight last night, and staying on that until I arrive at the gates of Hell, at Death's Door, which I expect to be election day, a year prior, so somewhere around November 3 [6th], and then hold there by resuming maintenance calories 4 to 800 cal a day, and staying at skeleton level for as many, as many weeks, or months as I can. It's my expectation that this the best way I can serve; this is my best chance to stop eternity's young from being stuck through Hell's gates by our criminal, disgusting, insane denial and apathy. It's my best way to show others the level of devotion, the level of commitment that giving eternity's young a future will require. No I have no illusions that will make any difference. I have the certainty that it could, and that's enough. I have a certainty that anything else I can contemplate is too little too late. I have the certainty that any historical models that I can think of, contemporary and going back as far as forever are too little too late. We have a window to hit, turning this upcoming election into, not so meaningless decision of who the next captain of the Titanic is, but the successful nonviolent commandeering of the Titanic, steering it away from the carbon iceberg, the insane, disgusting, corrupt, entirely corrupt US fossil fuel energy policy, and steering it toward a future for our children, which is implementing somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 million wind towers on our midwest farms, and northeast, and other places in the country. Implementing concentrated solar plants in our southwest desert, and probably most challenging because of all lthe land-rights issues, right of way issues, implementing a low loss grid, a DC grid, which can distribute this renewable energy and in the process of distributing these variable sources of energy, as they appear in a discreet location, when they're brought together on a low loss grid, which is technically a nonissue, this grid is burried by the way, so that it is not the eyesore that today's high loss transmission lines are, that it makes the variable feature of the energy in a discreet location a nonissue because as the nationwide sources together they cancel each other out.
We don't have a technology problem. We haven't had a technology problem for 15 years. We don't have energy problem - 200 times as much sun, eight times as much wind, at least, as we need to replace every lump of coal, and every drop of oil.
We don't have a financial problem, unless you consider it a financial problem to stop charging our children, sticking them with 80% of today's energy bill. So when you pay $3.50 a gallon of gas at the pump, you're sticking them with $11.50. When you pay the electricity bill, you're sticking them with three times as much cost with, every bill you pay, every day, every week, every month, the costs are being accumulated, friends. You're sticking them with the bill. So if you consider that a financial problem,then we have a financial problem. Otherwise what we have is an accounting scam problem. The bill is going to be paid, the remediation costs are going to be paid; the implementation costs are going to be paid. We've hit peak oil, and without question, in another 10-15 years the climate cataclysm will be so clear that we'll stop using coal, but then it will be too late to stop the tsunami, the killed her storm surge, of Arctic methane and rain forest carbon, from deluging spaceship Earth destroying it's life support systems forever, irreparably forever. So you can stop screwing your kids, you can stop sticking them with three quarters of your energy costs, Or you can hide bloody, criminal language such as energy tax. The way to do in Good's eyes, in Sanity's eyes is to shift our tax dollars from income to carbon use, and the money collected from those that use more than their share of carbon is evenly distributed to all taxpayers. It is a net zero impact on your taxes, and it will be done over the next 10, 15 years, gradually, year-by-year, so that those who want to adjust can adjust.
I'll bet truckers were hurt in World War II; I'll bet that everyone except the God damned warlords were hurt in World War II financially, but we did it, and we were proud of do it. We realized it was sane to do it, and we did it from our hearts, and we did it with love, and we did it with passion. Now it's our turn; now it's my turn.
So I anticipate the next 22 or so days to be on net 0 cal hunger strike. I expect to have with me some bottles of Ensure, because it is not my intention to wind up incapacitated and unable to fulfill this role. So if an emergency, a medical emergency arises then I expect to consume that so that I can continue in my work, and when I find that I am physically at deaths door, which I expect to be somewhere around 22-23 days from now, that I will take 4-6-80 cal a day, the BRAT diet of bananas, rice, applesauce, toast sole director of so as not shock my intestines too much, my system too much, and I'll maintian the right right with my near-dead body to block Death's door, to prevent our children from being stuffed through. And you need to figure out how to same, or stay out of my way. If you need help it's at my blog and secondarily at my YouTube channel. And if you conclude as I have that you need to take everything you have, and everything you are, and march to death's door, and block it with your body, and you exhaust the resources that are provided in this Start Loving blog, and at my YouTube Chan, then yours will be the only inquiries via Facebook or my Yahoo e-mail account, start_loving@yahoo.com, that I'll reply to; I don't have time to play. I don't have time to have you feel good with token efforts; I don't have time to help you feel good with your apathy, with your cowardice. You're my brothers and sisters all but this will take everything I have, and everything I am, and I'll not wast it on those who cower on the sidelines, including my brothers and sisters of faith who have chosen to use the most courageous of all human beings as an excuse for their cowardice. Oh, armageddon is coming, there's nothing we can do; we just need to get ready. That is so Antichrist; that is so un-Christlike. He was the first to march his body to deaths door and to block it with his life , to Hell's gates and to block it with His life. Love as I have loved; it's who knows how many people that came after Him that gave us all this garbage about Armageddon, and its inevitable, and all the bull shit, not Jesus. So if you want to be a Paulian; if you want to be a Jamesian; if you want to be a Johnian fine. But my God, find the courage to at least admit what you're doing. You don't like what Jesus had to say, you don't the courage that he showed you don't like the selflessness that he showed. So go be a Paulian, go be a Lukian, go be a Matthewian, but stop calling yourself a Christiann, my God, how Satanic, to be part of part of obscuring the greatest hope that in Gandhi's eyes, we were ever given; the life and teachings of the man, Jesus; not his bling followers up through today.
