I'm trying to work out having an Elf as the home-base for my now 8 (or so) years of activism for humanity here in DC. I think I've healed enough from the cancer to have the physical strength to make this my full time base of operations. My Soul says I need to amp-up, radicalize, my work... and I think this can be an instrumental piece of the puzzle, of my advocacy, my Lived Solidarity... for Palestine, Earth, the Homeless and Destitute. http://organictransit.com/ IF YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT WISHES TO CONTRIBUTE FINANCIALLY TO THIS PROJECT SO IT CAN HAPPEN (big or small)... LET ME KNOW.

SPDF Day 52--3: Awake for hours last night with ... more

SPDF Day 52--3:  Awake for hours last night with stomach pain.  Regaining the ability to metabolize food is very difficult, and very exhausting.  Unable to be at White House today.  Must work on restarting gut, stomach, inntestines, today and tomorrow.

SPDF Day 52-1: Breaking the fast carefully, sort of.... White House tomorrow? Or... May be chained to a toilet this weekend.... more

I am breaking the fast, carefully, I hope.  Yesterday I hit a local farmers market just before it closes - sour kraut to restart the wee beasties in my gut; fresh pears, fresh lettuce (not iceberg), fresh gazpacho soup. Low sodium V8.....

My stomach is rumbling and cramping now... hopefully a good sign.  Trying not to eat too much, too fast.  We'll see.  Strength returning.  Maybe eyesight, too. 

Tomorrow weather would permit me being at the White House, with Sunday projected with rain.  However, tonight will tell me if my bowel will be stable enough to be at the White House tomorrow, or not.  It could be exploding, for days.   We'll see.

SPDF Day 36. vlog. Doctors visit, blood work, psych eval, etc.

It's about 11am on April 7th. This is an update on a variety of things.

This morning was a review with my Sainted Doctor, about the results of yesterday's bloodwork. She said everything looks fine.  She has me on a regimen of two, horse pills, of potassium every day. She also has me on a multi vitamin. They are both seemingly doing their jobs.

My eyes have gone blurry as has happened on prior fasts.  To read anything on computer or my tablet it must be held very close to my face, but thankfully that seems to work ok.

I had a candid conversation with my Doctor about my concern regarding her concern as to my mental health.  I told her it was nothing I needed her to resolve, that I am capable of surviving the situation; but that I could not assume she understood how important she is in my life and work, so I told her briefly, that she is one of the only people I know whose life , and work path, I respect; this Georgetown grad that has devoted her life to we homeless.  And that I wondered if she could imagine if one of the people in her life that she most respects raised the question about her mental health, particularly as it relate to using her greatest skills in the direction that they found questionable, such as ministering to the poor. I asked her if she could image how troubling she might find that, especially if this individual she highly respected was entirely wrong.

I expounded a little bit, but she understood my point and as I stressed what I wrote about last week after seeing her and a psychologist that she asked me to speak to, I made no assumption that she was questioning my sanity, this wonderful Doctor. I took her at her word that she was just trying to be extremely cautions, and today she only emphasized that and explained that she wanted to be extremely sure that the medical work that has gone on with me over the last two years, major operations, had not had some impact my psychology. She indicated that although she didn't see it, at all, she wanted to be extremely careful with another opinion.  I made it clear that I was not second guessing her, but that it is an issue of importance to me, and I feel that it was entirely resolved this morning.

I told her prior to creating an opening for her to provide a response to me, that I just outlined, that my campaign is entirely about sanity. That no credit to me I have worked my way to a position of sanity and exactly I am trying to address the mass insanity in our culture which has lost any all notion of an adult sacrificing their own life constructively so that the young can have a future, whether it is a habitable planet to live on, one with some shreds of democracy left in America, or one without the methodology of police state being perfected on an indigenous population in Palestine, and that technology being exported and brought to oppressed peoples worldwide including in the United States.

My assessment is that it was a very comfortable, brief, conversation, and my sense is that this person in my life in whom I have a great respect, although I would not put her in the postition of stating so exactly, does not have a concern about my mental health and understands and respects the work I am doing.  So that was quite nice.

Rain is expected on and off today, tomorrow and the next day.  I expect to be here in front of Narcotic Paralyzing Rubbish Radio through lunch time and to leave and hopefully get back to the shelter prior to when at 3pm rain becomes more likely.  And tomorrow and the next day I anticipate coming back here during those parts of the day where rain is less likely.

I am feeling particularly weak today, but it turns out I had enough strength to change the tire of a young lady whose car I passed, an African American woman, in front of the Union Station area, a fairly posh bakery and lunch spot. She was holding what I recognized to be a jack in her hand, and looking rather dazed, like she didn't know what to do with it. I don't think she did know what to do with it.  She was surely intelligent, but it was folded in such a way that it took me several minutes how to take it apart.  So I had the strength to do that.

To her credit afterwords she offered me $20 which of course I refused. I did tell her she could help me by watching my belongings for a few moments and by giving me a $1 to offer to the restaurant manager so he would allow me to wash of my hands, the grime off my hands, from changing her tire.  Happily she agreed, the restaurant did not require the $1 which I happily returned to her; and I think she experienced this as an event that she will probably remember for some time; and when kindness is so remembered, sometimes they propagate themselves.

SPDF Day 27: White House since 9am...

SPDF Day 27:  White House since 9am, until 5:30, to Free Palestine.  If the weather, and my strength, hold, then most of Mon thru Fri I'll be in front of National Pablum Radio or the Washrag Propaganda 'news' organizations.

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.

nd. SPDF Day 22: On Capital Hill since 10am...

nd.  SPDF Day 22: On Capital Hill since 10am. Likely to be here till 4pm or 7pm.  Losing much strenght, along with the ability to generate body heat.  The hike up Capital Hill, even with much of my stuff on hand truck, is getting much more difficult, and llllooooonnnngggg.

pic. Wonderful news. Looks like the rain/sleet/snow is holding off until 10am or so. Satanyahu talks to congress at about 8:45am. SO, I can be on the Hill, health and police (high security for Satanyahu) permitting, with the posters starting early!!!!

***** I think that the only way to avert the next slaughter in Palestine is to massively escalate the pressure on the US Congress / US Gov / White House..., to 1. Stop obstructing the UN, 2. Stop Funding Israel, 3. Hold Israel to International law. I think the time is now: A. The unprecidented 'split' Netanyahu has handed us in the Congress; B. We know the clock is ticking toward the next slaughter... NOW is the time to act. I am thinking seriously of beginning a death-fast on Capital Hill, 24/7, beginning in the next week or so. My target, the point of my effort, would be Congressman John Lewis, the only man that may still have a conscience, and the Black Man that SHOULD understand that the slaughter of Palestine IS A READ LINE THAT CANNOT BE CROSSED, and President Obama who wants to do the right thing more than I do but is facing impossible odds. Both of these men are great men, they are the only ones that can lead what needs to be done and I and we must do all in our power to inspire them to impossible levels of courage and leadership, now. As many of us as possible must pay, and at least offer, the ultimate price in order to remind them to do the same. There is no other way. There has never been any other way. There will never be any other way. If not now, when? . I'm not sure if I would be allowed to sleep in a chair on the Hill. I think so, but not sure. I might need logistical support to pull it off. It would be stronger if people joined, but that will not influence whether I begin, and finish, or not. I'm open to EQUIVALENT, OR SUPERIOR (more promising) ideas. A Death Fast is a Hunger Strike (Water Only) that is expected to go to death unless the demands are met. The current PROBABILITY IS THAT THE MASS KILLING IN PALESTINE, 1000'S, WILL TAKE PLACE WITHIN THE NEXT 2 YEARS. If, 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 1000 of us offered our lives now, in the US, NOW... maybe we could reduce the slaughter by 1, 2, 4, 8... then. I THINK PEOPLE IN PALESTINE SHOULD JOIN. I HAVE NO CONTACTS. THERE. PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH THOSE IN PALESTINE, IF YOU HAVE THE CONTACTS. I'm open to Ideas, Alternatives, Support, Comrades. Let me know. I am NOT open to A. Idle chatter, B. Hand wringing, C. Pointless planning. SHARE this with anyone you think should see it. http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2015/03/i-think-that-only-way-to-avert-next.html
