John Lewis just revealed himself as a selfserving, grandstanding, selfcentered fraud, as I have seen him to be for years now. "When you use your history as a hero of the Movement to disparage others because you never personally knew them, it is a slap in the face to all those people who fought hard and never made it into the history books or into Congress. It is a slap in the face to people like my grandmother."

To my friend who started storm is coming, who I still respect: There are 6 captains on the Titanic. Four of them demand that the ship go faster in the same direction. One of them, a lady, of very questionable sincerity, says that maybe, possibly, under certain circumstances, don't look at my crossed fingers, I might want the ship to turn a little bit and to slow down a little bit, but you know, that really isn't possible we have to be real. And one of them, and old man with white hair but full of fire says that the ship is going too fast that it has to turn or it will hit the iceberg, that we will all have to stand together to overcome the forces that want to go straight and fast, and you say, folks we have to stand together and no matter what, vote for him or the lady? F*** you.

No credit to me, for years now, I pretty much live as though Creator is watching me every moment. I pretty much live accordingly. And it is so superior to all the other ways I've tried, so infinitely joyful, interesting, enriching, absorbing, challenging. One of the major ways, if not the major way, that we defend ourselves from a radically moral life, is the device, good. Being good. We use that name to turn the joy of radical virtue into the endured suffering of taking one's bitter medicine because it is good for us. That which is the joyful path is the radically virtuous path, the extremely virtuous path. And we have a trillion reasons that we've created for ourselves to not see it. Oh well. Thanks for hearing me. Hugs I will fail in trying to have radical virtue proliferate. But I will not fail to try. It is the hope. It is the only practical hope.

***** NY’s Public Theater cancels Palestinian production, ‘The Siege,’ it agreed to stage in May
"For anyone who wants to diminish murder and mayhem and terrorism around the world, and to protect the earth and everything in it from the ravages of capitalist greed – getting the United States off the neoliberal-neoconservative track that it has been on since at least the late 1970s should be Priority Number One. This means that the first order of business now is defeating Hillary Clinton....„
Video. Watch. Israel's policy of breaking the bones of Palestinians. Watch. You are funding this with your taxes. You are supporting this with your silence.

Help requested: if you know who is playing in this year's Super Bowl, please make absolutely certain, not to tell me. Yes, I am not kidding. I always hated our worship of this type of competition, from my earliest memory. It is absolutely how we prepare our children and ourselves for colonial wars, and justifying the wars of economy that we participate in against each other, thinking that it is virtue. I hate it.

***** I was kindly asked if I knew of any Muslim Americans who distance themselves from so-called Islamic terrorists and I replied: By a factor of 100, or 1000, or 10,000 Muslims are the victim of so-called Muslim terrorists. Frankly, I question the decency of Muslims in America who publicly decry so-called Muslim terrorists. Had I been alive in the time of slavery, or more particularly the time of Jim Crow, I would have decried the blacks who spoke out in favor of the white oppressors and against the black people struggling for their basic human rights. We Americans have slaughtered millions of Muslims in the last 50 to 100 years. Between us and the French and the British we have colonized, disrupted, terrorized, carved up the Muslim Middle East so that we could divide, conquer, oppress, and rape their resources. We have bombed advanced civilizations of Iraq back to the Stone Age, and Yemen, Libya, Lebanon and Palestine. I have trouble respecting a Muslim that speaks against resistance to this colonial oppression. But there are many. America and Britain have absolutely created Muslim terrorists. Without dispute Britain and America funded and armed the Taliban, a brutal, KKK version of Islam, as a proxy army against Russia in Afghanistan. Beginning in the 18 hundreds Britain, followed happily by America, funded the small KKK like Muslim sect now called Wahabi, that the vast majority of Muslims around the world they are not Muslims at all. Decade after decade after decade through today America and Britain fund them, now, as their proxy army against the government in lran. All that I have just stated is very clear, my point being, that each and any point that I have just made can be quickly determined to be lie or fact by anyone with an interest to do so. And I have not spoken about how Britain and America have tormented, humiliated, desecrated the Muslims in the Middle East by thwarting the government that they seek to establish and installing instead of oppressive puppet regimes who screw their people, skim off oil revenues for themselves, but pass on the bulk of their people's wealth to western corporations. If Islam were not profoundly profoundly profoundly a religion of peace I can't explain why 1.5 billion Muslims in the world aren't at perpetual war against we Western barbarians.

***** Some of us crave social power, social significance, the way a crack addict craves the drug, and or fears the lack of these things the way some people are terrified of torture and death.
Now Democrats, you educationally intellectually emotionally advantaged... what is it that you still don't understand about white male Republican's bullying, guns, hatred of human rights, women's rights, and minorities?
Till they recognize a better way to achieve social power, social significance, or a preferable substitute for these, they are not going to change their ways. They prefer death over feeling weak (preferably your death... but even their own.)

***** We are taught that sexual relations are the heart of a life worth living, in this sickkkkkk culture. I lived that theory for most of my decades. I wish I had every second wasted in that pursuit back. I wish that the circuitry and hormones that I have had never been part of me. I have pushed all of that totally and completely and actively out of my consciousness, out of my daily life. My life is so much richer, filled with such infinitely more gratifying things, as a consequence. We don't choose rape, being raped, war, evil, anger, hatred, exploitation, inequality.... We choose selfishness and the results are these things.

***** Regarding the recent death of an Israeli at the hands of a Palestinian, an Israeli soldier I'm told, but I view that nearly all of the Israelis are actively responsible so either way: I think I have as much compassion as most people, and some would say that, actually, it has been said, that I have a tragic case of runaway compassion. Somewhere in the recesses of my compassion I can feel sorry for the soldiers of Germany that exterminated Jews and were killed themselves. Theoretically, I'm sure I can. Theoretically, I'm sure I can find the compassion to feel sorry for people in the South African Secret Service that tortured and murdered native Africans and were killed themselves. But that's a theoretical proposition that I could do that. My concern is with the vast preponderance of the victims, and in this case it's the Palestinians. I'm perfectly willing to be hated for this flaw. I do not hate myself for this flaw, I think it is sanity.

“As a leading source for news in the United States and in the world, the New York Times has a responsibility to its readers to provide fair, balanced, and fact-based coverage. Our paper reflects the news that we wish the Times and other papers would report,” said Jewish Voice for Peace New York organizer Candace Graff. “It includes the context and facts too often missing from the New York Times and other U.S. media outlets.”
***** PLS READ THIS. Israel seems to think that what worked well in its society and succeeded in almost totally wiping out all consciousness and awareness, will work just as well in the rest of the world. That the brainwashing campaign that was such a dazzling success here will be just as effective abroad – it’s all just a matter of “hasbara,” the Israeli euphemism for propaganda – and of budgets, of course

To my friend that Sanders is giving hope: I understand, but for me, genocide is a red line. Unless and until Sanders comes out centrally and unequivocally to stop the US genocide of Palestine I frankly don't give a f*** about America or humanity. Unless and until that happens America is already Dead and I say let it decompose as fast as possible. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. But if, as I'm sure he will not, if and when he comes out unequivocally against the genocide of Palestine I, in all likelihood, will devote every penny and every breath and to the campaign he is waging.
