Loving, here. Pr. Obama, I hope you lose the election.

Son, this is a dead, lifeless planet - http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2012/09/gwdf2-d15h1-i-find-this-to-be-lifeless.html and nowhere more dead than US.  "The greatest poverty I've ever seen is the poverty of Spirit in the west." That was many decades ago, said by Teresa of Calcutta, and it's gotten infinitely deader, since then.

I hope you lose good man, you and your family.  Go and enjoy yourselves.  Creator knows, you've earned it.  There is nothing too save, left.  Not your fault.  I wouldn't see it either, but I do now.

GWDF2 D15H1  I find this to be a lifeless planet.  Truly.  I see no signs of life.  Rachel Corrie is dead.  Steve Biko is dead.  Gandhi and King are dead.

I see NO signs of life.  Only an all-embracing desire for The Matrix - Right and Center, and LEFT.

A friend had me watch the movie Wall-e recently.  We don't know how many hundreds or thousands of years he worked alone on a fully dead earth, until signs of life began to show, and then he took full advantage.

It may be that I too am to wait until such time as signs of life show up, preparing by writing, researching, vigiling at my Canadian Embassy outpost.

I don't know.

I see no signs of life.

As of this moment, I remain on "hold," as of today taking 1600-1800 calories per day to stay at my current 157, Day 15 weight.

I don't know what tomorrow brings.

Throughout most or much of his adulthood, England wanted nothing to do, NOTHING to do with Churchill; only when they saw existential threat, and then they wanted his help.  What did he do in the meantime?  Sharpened the saw, I'll guess.

GWDF2 D15 Hold: On Hold the Death Fast is now. 9/11/12

I don't know what has changed, but something(s) has, and I must get my arms around it, and I need a clearer head to do so.  For an indeterminate number of days, I'll hold at D15 by going to a maintenance diet at this weight of approx 157 lbs, down 10 pounds from my starting point 27 days ago.  I expect to consume 1800 calories per day.  I expect to remain on post 22 hours per day here at the embassy working on "Actionable Essentials 2 - Lester Brown's Statements," and possibly several more in the series in the process of gaining the personal clarity I need to proceed -

As of now, "you look thinner than when I saw you 3 weeks ago," I was told Saturday; indeed I am, having adhered to 900 calories per day - half rations, my 'maintain' target being 1800 calories per day.

I don't know what has changed, but something has.  Some element or combination of:

*  Feeling the pregnancy of a next Pr. Obama term.
*  Slightly renewed confidence that he and Chu have been quietly waging war against env armagageddon with ARPA-E - see Atlantic article.
*  The slightest of optimisms that we may be better off than I thought:
a. Lester Brown's 3.0 may have been needlessly pie in the sky - calling for accomplishments by 2020 that James Hansen may not call for until 2030+;
b. On some or all fronts renewable energy may be moving faster than I or anyone thought due to technology, price points;
cwhat impact the global economic slowdown - how much time is that buying us;
d. Is natural gas giving us an added 2-5 years?

*  Where are we?  I'm getting closer to answering that, these last few weeks, so I have an acute sense that I maybe can, and need to find out with higher clarity where we are, before I should have my life terminate on less than now close to available to me information.
