TO THE 7 THAT WERE PLANNING TO FUND THE POSTERS: I’ve been near catatonic these last 20 hours or so, literally confined to bed but for moments here or there..... (detail)
TO THE 7 THAT WERE PLANNING TO FUND THE POSTERS: I’ve been near catatonic these
last 20 hours or so, literally confined to bed but for moments here or there. I feel you are due this update so as to
re-determine if you wish to contribute to the posters as we previously
discussed. I’m going to proceed, using what little funds
I’ve hoarded over the months… but based on the following you may and should
fully re-consider whether you wish to stand by your pledges of support – and you
will have zero second-guessing from me if you pull back. If you do not pull back, then if and when you
send the funding you discussed it will help my work be whole, replenish my
funds, for this wave of my efforts, and those to come. Please let me know what to expect.
I wish I had never been born, to be in a world a country, a
time, so evil. I wish I had never been born.
That’s how I feel, deeply.
For almost 15 years I’ve devoted my life to fighting evil –
the resource-starved and loving-starved children of abandoned Chester PA, for our
family in Darfur being exterminated by their government, for our family in
Palestine being destroyed by the Zionis, for our own children and grandchildren
having their future destroyed by our non-terminating the use of fossil fuels.
In all of these cases I was fighting acts of omission… we, the US, we US
Citizens were not stepping up to stop unspeakable evils.
But now for the first time in my life I am “seeing” (I may
have missed many others), but I am “SEEING” my country, my government, my
fellow tax payers COMMIT GENOCIDE, COMMIT THE EXTERMINATION OF AN ENTIRE PEOPLES - OUR PALESTINIAN FAMILY. Because we hate them? In some cases yes – we have been very
thoroughly, carefully, brilliantly taught to fear and hate Muslims. But in the case of our congress and media, it
is GREED AND FEAR that have 100% of Senators and Congresspeople and media BACKING
Israel in their Genocide, Holocaust, Ethnic Cleansing, Extermination. They are literally terrified to not spread
the horrific Zioni propaganda lies… and handsomely rewarded for doing so.
We US citizens are so callous we are content to slurp down
the Zioni-authored “News” propaganda year after year, decade after decade, and
afraid to be the subject of ‘controversy’ so we don’t to the main-stream review
of the scholarship and easily available facts – to “see” the unequalled evil of
what we are committing through our ignorance.
I never comprehended that this could happen – the US be the
PERPETRATOR of the Ultimate Evil – not with our full knowledge, as is the
case. Some of you will rightly laugh, or
be angry, at my huge naiveté, ignorance, stupidity, willful blindness….
I sensed, but only now see, that with the exception of you
seven, the armies of FaceBook “activists” are and will talk our Palestinians literally to DEATH… and will
never, never, never pay any personal price to save them. Further, among those that have been the most
dear in my life, most or all will neither ‘talk’ nor ‘support’ my meager
efforts (nor anyone else’s) to help our Palestinian family. I’m not surprised, but now I see it. How very dark.
I don’t know who I am, what to do, how to live. I can’t predict me, right now. I could, yesterday, and the day before…
before this hit me so clearly and squarely.
But I’m in a foreign land,on a
foreign planet, in a foreign country… one that commits genocide not just by
omission, but by EXPLICIT COMMISSION.
I’ve also spent many hours agonizing over the execution of
this plan with the Posters, and the following insights and changes have
occurred to the plan:
1.
Little if
any time will be spent in front of the Holocaust Museum. The intent of the poster effort is NOT to
change the mind of the Zionis and their supporters, but to change the hearts
and minds of one or two of those uncertain, or on the sidelines. For what they are, I think the posters can do
that IF “SEEN.” I realize now that the
logistics are such that to have the posters in front of the Holocuast Museum –
the Posters would not be “seen,” the content would not be “seen,” all that
would be “seen” is that someone was demonstrating in front of the memorial.
2.
I DO expect (see #3) to be some combination of
A. 3 blocks from the Holocaust Memorial near the Washington Monument; B.
Lafayette Park north side of the White House; C. Other high traffic tourist
sites that on windier days may shield the signs from the wind, Park Police
permitting.
3.
There are three huge logistical factors I’d not
considered fully, and will only learn by doing.
The Park Police, the wind, and bleaching of the posters by the sun. I’ve done man-years worth of work with
posters… but never with very light foam core picture posters as is needed now –
I don’t have a rolling cart to transport heavy stuff and support vinyl posters,
nor heavier PVC ones – so the 14 blocks each way to the places I described – I need
light stuff… but that makes the wind a huge factor, how big and manageable, I’ll
not know till I try. As to the Park
Police – they may give me zero trouble or make things impossible at all but the
north side of the White House where I know the rules and at least in the
blocked off street there – I can’t be stopped or interfered with – but are
subject to unblocked wind, and a 3rd factor – sun bleaching of the
posters and me – which I need to try and minimize – and there is little or no
shade in the blocked off White House
street.
4.
Not only will I be precluded from being on post
with the signs on rainy days as I’d alerted you, but certainly heavy, and maybe
even light wind days. I won’t know till
I work things out through trial and error.
5.
I DO know that I cannot see another issue for me
besides fighting this US EXCEUTED GENOICIDE… until it, or my life force,
stop. I now have ZERO interest in
stopping ecocide, global warming, and am prevented by conscience from
attempting so unless and until we prove to be a species that will not allow
this televised Satanic Genocide to continue.
We are far too dangerous to the universe, otherwise, and I have no right
to do anything that might help prevent or slow, the extinction of such a
species. Truly. In my heart.
Have you seen the movie Noah?
Well, that’s enough for you to decide whether to continue
with your funding, or not. I hope to
find my catatonic state subsiding, lifting, and to be on post with the posters
by the weekend, if not sooner, using up what little reserves of funds I
had. If you continue with your pledge,
that will be a Godsend, but my Loving of you will be unaffected either
way. Oh, and I’ll also have a $27 PA
speaker broadcasting tight clips of Pr. Carter reading Palestine: Peace not
Apartheid. The book starts slow (I just
finished listening to it last week) but I now understand why the Zionis assassinated
Pr. Carter on this issue. If you listen
closely (MUST READ) you can hear him, scream, seethe, with rage, outrage, HORROR
at what Israel is doing to the Palestinians with the complicity of the US.
Pr. Carter’s voice is so recognizable, and in a few short
clips that I’ll share with you later, he lays the entire Zioni Genocide out,
right at the feet of the Zioni leaders – explicitly, and exonerates the Palestinians,
Hamas, PLO…. In my words, not his, ‘a
girl being raped by a gang… there are no moral limits on how she fights back…
whatever she does to fight back is moral… until they stop.” This gang rape has been going on for 67 years
according to all the historical scholarship in virtually every university on
earth, INCLUDING ISRAEL.
Please let me know you r intentions, so I know what to
expect, what to look for, or not look for.

"The most common sentence I heard when people began to talk about cease-fire: Everybody says it's better for all of us to die and not go back to the situation we used to have before this war. We don't want that again. We have no dignity, no pride; we are just soft targets, and we are very cheap. Either this situation really improves or it is better to just die. I am talking about intellectuals, academics, ordinary people: Everybody is saying that."

nd. Within a week or so I expect to create a page at one of the fundrasing sites. With my newly regained physical strength (plus daily immodium that, so far anyway, breaks my cancer-after-effects chains to the toilet) I can justify giving folks the opportunity to contribute to my work. I need $50 a month for my mobile wifi (I don't afford a phone) so I can be on in the streets demonstrating AND fighting online, a change of underwear, $50 to replace the 2 shirts that are my uniform that get destroyed by being in the sun all day, $0 food (dumpsters suffice), $0 entertainment (I have zero time or interest), $8 per week for coffee & tip (my rent for a table at a cafe when weather is bad or I need to do intensive internet work undisturbed), a $400/yr equipment fund (working on the street as I do, and in the shelter, as careful as I am I need to replace computer or power equipment from time to time due to wear, tear, vandalism or theft). When I create the page on a fundrasing page, with the above spelled out in slightly more detail I'll share it.

nd. Most of the tiny few 'activists' that have fought closely alongside me, were not activists at all, tho I love them. Turns out, they were looking for the father, brother, friend, 'activist identity'... they desperately wanted, and when they find out I am a friend 'WITH' no one, SO THAT I CAN FIGHT AS A FRIEND 'TO' ALL... they instantly, in fury, abandon the relationship. I love them none the less... but so much time wasted. So much potential wasted. In His lifetime Jesus saved hardly anyone, and seems it will go down the same for me.
