SPDF Day 24: Stamina and strength waning. On the Hill for 12 hours, unable to stay conscious for 3 hours or so. But surely I can't complain, after 24 days, virtually zero calories... and I still have many hours per day where I'm functional for Palestine. No complaints. Thank you body. Thank you Spirit. Thank you Creator.

***** vlog. SPDF Day 24: The Epitaph on EVERYTHING GOOD will be that the citizens of the world’s superpower found that there was nothing beyond themselves, not even their children, that they would die for
The epitaph on everything good will be that the citizens of the world's superpower found that there was nothing beyond themselves, not even their children, that they would die for. Nothing could be more self evident for the truth seeker, but the truth seeker would die for the truth, and we have virtually none today, which is another way of stating the same epitaph - Americans chose denial over Truth and the result was the destruction of all that was good, forever.
Young Gandhi was in the process of becoming a lawyer . But he encountered two books that caused his life to do a 180 when he was a young man studying in England. One of the books was Tolstoy's "The Kingdom of God is Within You." The other was .four essays actually, by John Ruskin . An idea that was central to those essays was the assessment that the the British population could be best understood as being comprised of five groups, Doctors ,lawyers, Ministers, soldiers, Merchants. What was considered most important in these essays was that four of the five groups could be expected to give their lives for their clients when circumstances called for it. But that one of the populations, merchants, could be depended on to never do so, and to only serve their own selfish interests. Thereby they were considered a cancer on society, by other words than these.
In 2015 American these essays would clearly have the state that no population any longer existed, with the possible exception of soldiers, who would die for anything but themselves .
This is why there is no hope to save Palestine, to stop ecocide, to save the last remaining remnants of democracy or any economic life worth living in America.
Both books mentioned can be found on Amazon, some libraries, or here (set the adblock on your browser FIRST to prevent the porn ads).

SPDF Day 24: on the Hill, in the rain...
The Weather Channel said zero chance of rain this morning. It has been raining for the last hour. I have coverings for me and the computer but not for the signs. I'm hoping I have weatherproof them enough that they are not damaged. This is the last day for the next 10 days that Congress is in session. Current reports say that the rain should stop by noon which is the next time Congress is scheduled to walk. And they say zero chance of rain this afternoon.

" As we now understand all too well, it is what is privately owned, not what is held in common, that faces destruction by avarice, bringing the rest of us down with it. Hardly a day passes without more confirmation of this fact." The Magna Carta Messed Up the World, Here’s How to Fix It The “logic” of capitalist development has left a nightmare of environmental destruction in its wake. Noam Chomsky
