GWDF D14a Wiki- Self-Immolations since 1960 - US, WW

 Email note sent to several friends, followed by Post, below -


"Whoever makes extreme unviolent action impossible, makes violence, misery, mass torture..., and now, extinction of all life on earth, inevitable (Book 3: NASAs Dr. Hansen - for...everyday citizens)."  Loving, informed by John Adams, and JFK (JFK, or was it Bobby, like MLK Jr, was deeply changed, and motivated by the the Buddhist self-immolations in Vietnam).

That we may no longer have humans like MLK Jr., with enough humanity/sanity to be inspired, does not change the relative strength of such weapons, but Death Fast is the right weapon for today; and/or wave upon wave of ceaseless, until victory is won, hunger strikes, to death's door but not through, regroup, recover, restart... till we win.  By way of analogy, everything else is the equivalent of spit-balls against Iran's deep nuclear labs.  The Pentagon would break the rank of, and discharge any such mental and intellectual lunatics that suggested such spit-balls. 

But against environmental armageddon?  Against the most highly financed mercenary army in world history, the $20 to 70 trillion fossil fuel industry?  Spitballs have been the order of the day (blogging, writing (to inflame, not to empower, or to generate commensurate action); hopeless, token, time-killing legislative bull shit like the Cap and Trade treason of 2 years ago; 4 hour jailings (what a desecration of history's real unviolent actions and actors) for what, 15 or 30 years now? 

And such deluded, left-wing-nut Deniers of history of change, and personal duty, show every sign of continuing doing the same thing another 15 - 30 years (Einstein's definition of insanity; Loving's definition of Denial and Delusion, well, yes, insanity); even though it may be just 15 or 30 weeks, or months at the most, that the next 200 billion kids have left.  My God. 

No God could have mercy on our Souls for such cowardice, failure of imagination, failure of humanity, failure of Heart, failure of Loving.

And NO God can undo what we are in the last stages of finalizing - Hell on earth.

Only we can.

----- Post, below --------------

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_self-immolations 

I don't think that self-immolation is the right weapon for use in the US, or by me.  But we don't know what the right weapon is to defeat the WWIII, Terror War, Holocaust... being visited on the next 200 billion kids, either.  And, if there is anyone sane, or honest, we know that no one, maybe literally no one, is stepping up in any way that honestly, rationally, historically, psychologically... has a prayer of stopping our mass insanity of side-line sitting, blogging, talking, watching, talking, planning, talking, writing, planning, discussing... before all opportunity to save a future is gone, if indeed time still remains - Dr. Hansen (Book 3: NASAs Dr. Hansen - for...everyday citizens) - Someone(s) have got to give us a chance of beginning - SSSSSTTTTTTOOOOOPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!

Let it be me, but not by self-immolation, I expect.  Death Fast, or Death By Force Feeding in a mental ward for decades, not self-immolation, is the correct weapon for today, to begin a real, hopeful, meaningful, commensurate, historically rational... process of 'SSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!! In time.
