"It may change, but I am now clueless about fear of death.
I used to 'get it.'  I totally don't 'get it' any more. 
Oh, I desperately want to be here to help, as long as I can help!
But fearing death?  I just don't get it.  When the time is up, it is up!
What's to fear?  Twice last week cars almost took my life.
My pulse didn't rise a beat then, or now.  This is not about
being careless or reckless.  I'm sure it has to do with living
on the battlefield, ALWAYS, for a Mission worth more than one's life.

I find this quite amazing, and I can barely remember my old way, of fear." SL

SL dying in prison - Starts this Monday in Federal Court?

I am not worried or concerned.  Our Father's Will be done.  But you few
I've copied, I feel I owe such a "heads up," as this.

The several premonitions I've had like this before have come to pass -
For 5 years or so now it has seemed inevitable to me that I will die
in prison.  This doesn't trouble me.  It has never been a nightmare for
me, literally; never a cold sweat; never an elevated pulse (hmmmm, except
the adrenalin from an expected conflict).  I suspect it will come to pass in time,
but maybe it is just an acute clarity of how society's ways and mine are anti-matter
and matter - mutually annihilating.  Some of you have personally encountered
how stubborn I can be on what seems Important.  :-)  :-(  Standing as close
to the Truth as I do now will likely get me killed, one way, or another - exposure,
starvation, prison, murder....  He certainly does NOT want me by natural causes
just yet, having saved me from two near, might have been fatal near-car hit's last week -
neither my fault.  What am I rambling about?  This essay grasps the macro-physics-
reality that seems to have me (thank God) and society (thanks to unopposed
Satan / Evil / dEvil), in its grasp:  

THE MEANING OF THIS HOUR, ABRAHAM J. HESCHEL
The single most sacred essay I've ever encountered.

Monday, I've been subpoenad to appear in FEDERAL court.  No, nothing I've done,
yet.  As a witness.  Late fall, early winter, as I ever sooooooooooooo
vvvvvaaggguuueeeellllllyyyyyyyy recall, upon returning about 11pm from
my evening shift in the Park, in front of Ellen's house was a police cruiser(s),
group of officers, and someone being arrested (I'm pretty sure, I never
looked to see, as I recall).  There was a fence slat missing that I'd not
noticed missing before and a police woman, seeing me approach the house
asked if I lived there.  I said I did - I respect, and cooperate with the
police, IF and WHEN they operate within their job.  ('The only group in this
country I have any respect for is our men and women in uniform - they are
the only group that puts their life on the line for others,' I say to folks
every day at the Park.  Gandhi felt similarly.)

She explained that the person they were arresting had pulled the slat off
to attack them with, and that he (?) had done similar things ever so many
times, and that it would be a great kindness to HIM if I "witnessed" that
the slat was from the fence and it had repair worth that I set at $100 or
so.   The vaguest of recollections.  I DISTINCTLY recall the impression that
my "witnessing" that night  WAS ABSOLUTELY THE LAST I'D HEAR OF THIS!
Last week the subpoena arrived.

I gave them my name, the only name I'm known by in DC - Start Loving.
On prior arrests - Pentagon, White House... I've thought to give my old
name as well, but this time, it absolutely never even occurred to me -
I was doing her, the officer, and the person being arrested a "favor!"

Will I be jailed for giving the Feds a "false" name tomorrow?  What DID I witness
to?  I gave it almost no thought at the time, so I CERTAINLY don't recall now!
I'm required to bring ID.  I HAVE NO ID, refusing to have such under Bush.
What if what I can testify to now is in opposition to what I testified to
then?  I'LL NOT LIE.  I'll be sworn to "tell the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help me God."  AND THIS I'LL DO.  This is where I expect
they'll get me, cuz I AM IN CONTEMPT OF OUR IN-HUMANE "LEGAL" SYSTEM.
I'LL NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT REFER TO SOME OVER-PRIVILEGED WHITE GUY,
OR WHATEVER, AS "YOUR HONOR."  ETC, ETC, ETC.

"Contempt of Court" - is this how the end will start for me?  Cuz, I AM TOTALLY in
contempt of a system that incarcerates 2 million poor folks in this country.
Gandhi was asked - 'What do you think if Western Civilization?'  He
responded - 'I think it would be a good idea.'  He wasn't kidding.  Neither
am I.  Neither was Heschel (above).

THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK TODAY MAY WELL BE -



The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule  
Thomas Frank (born 1965) is an American author, journalist and columnist for the
Wall Street Journal
, authoring The Tilting Yard since May, 2008.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.... READ IT.  NOW.

"A no-holds-barred exegesis on the naked cynicism of conservatism in America."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Written with barbed wit and finely controlled anger, he skewers such juicy targets as libertarian strategist Grover Norquist and Michelle Malkin."—Publishers Weekly, starred review  "Glorious… Often brilliant… Frank's gloom is leavened by an eye for the unexpected and the absurd."—Los Angeles Times 
"Well-researched and witty… Provides a powerful liberal antidote to the high-volume rantings of Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter and Fox News."—Seattle Post-Intelligencer

"Frank's gifts as a social observer are on display… His analysis of why there are so many libertarian think tanks in a country with so few libertarians is dead on. In Thomas Frank, the American left has found its own Juvenal."—The New York Times Book Review

"Frank offers one damning anecdote after another. The Wrecking Crew explains how cynical conservatives have wrested control of the government by railing against its very existence, all while using federal perches to funnel billions into the pockets of lobbyists and the corporations they represent."—Time

"Thomas Frank is back with another hunk of dynamite. The Wrecking Crew should monopolize political conversation this year. It's the first book to effectively tie the ruin and corruption of conservative governance to the conservative "movement building" of the 1970s, and, before that, the business crusade against good government going back at least to the 1890s."—Salon.com

"Tom Frank has hold of something real. The Wrecking Crew can be good, spirited fun. Frank captures a quality of exuberant bullying in those of his conservative subjects he knows well enough to identify individually, rather than categorically."—The New Yorker

"Frank's sentences inhale and unfurl with a wit and verve…"—The New York Observer

"Conservatives in office have made their share of blunders and mistakes, and Frank is at his finest in depicting some of the stunning instances of hypocrisy and idiocy in the period of Republican rule."—The New York Post

"Smart, thoroughly researched, and written with wit and panache."—The Wichita Eagle

"A welcome read. There is no doubt that Frank is helping to restore the journalistic and literary standards to political books. Elegant… The Wrecking Crew has the rhetorical power to illustrate the dire consequences of a government sold off piece by piece to the highest bidder. One finishes the book feeling as if one's political vision has been brought into focus."—The Courier-Journal

"A superb follow-up to What's The Matter with Kansas?... Thorough reporting and incisive historical analysis. With genuine outrange and blasts of polemic, but Frank never allows The Wrecking Crew to become just another seething right- or left-wing political tract preaching to the choir."—The Oregonian

"Frank brings invaluable insider perceptions, ardor, and precision to his lancing inquiry into the erosion of democracy and the enshrinement of the mighty dollar… An electrifying, well-researched analysis of 'conservatism-as-profiteering.' This staggering history of systematic greed with inject new energy into public discourse as a historical election looms."—Booklist (starred review)



SL here. Friends EXTREMELY IMPORTANT - PLS ACT NOW

I just sent a letter. Please you too.  Hurry.  SHARE.  SL

To: start_loving@yahoo.com

Subject: Re: Sting the stinger - This is just embarrassing

Dear Start,

By now everybody knows that James O'Keefe, the anti-ACORN video stinger, is willing to lie, manipulate, and apparently break the law, in pursuit of his extremist agenda. Monday, sources inside the Brooklyn District Attorney's office, as reported by the New York Post (long hostile to ACORN) said the videos were a "heavily edited splice job".[1] The New York Daily News further reported that sources in the DA's office, which reviewed the unedited New York tapes as part of a five month investigation -- the first time anyone not associated with O'Keefe has seen unedited tapes -- said "they edited the tape to meet their agenda"![2]

As Media Matters columnist Eric Bohlert writes, "the '70s-era, blacksploitation pimp costume was a propaganda tool used to later deceive the public about the undercover operation."[3] If you watched the videos you probably thought he wore that suit inside our offices. He didn't. He dressed as a professional and presented himself as a boyfriend trying to help his girlfriend escape from an abusive pimp, something also noted in former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger's December 2009 investigation of ACORN.[4]

So why, then, does America's newspaper of record, the New York Times, insist in report after report -- as recently as March 1st -- that he presented himself as a pimp in our offices?[5] Can you send an email to the Times' Public Editor and tell him to retract the Times' erroneous reporting about O'Keefe and ACORN?

There are two critical reasons why this matters and my friend Brad Friedman of The Brad Blog lays them out nicely:

"Because O'Keefe is now facing federal felony charges and his past credibility is important to the future proceedings and because these videos, and the Times reports on them, resulted in the U.S. Congress passing legislation to deny ACORN federal funding based on what appears to be an entirely phony premise which … the Times went along with, in error, time and again." [6]

Incredibly, the New York Times' first response when challenged their reporting was to say, "If there is a correction to be made, it seems it would start with Mr. O'Keefe himself. We believe him. Therefore there is nothing for us to correct."[7]

Wow. To say that in the face of everything that's been laid out about how O'Keefe operates - lies, manipulation, even alleged illegal actions - well, that's just embarrassing.

Can you tell Clark Hoyt, The New York Times' Public Editor, that The Times needs to retract its past ACORN stories and report the truth about the anti-ACORN sting operation from now on?

The New York Times played a significant role in the breathtaking rush to judgment instigated by O'Keefe's work. As the blogger Digby said about the Times and other mainstream media, "in rushing to judgment they also failed in their journalistic duty to figure out if this story was true." [8] The Times perpetuated the idea that his videos represented what ACORN workers do all day. They do not. ACORN organizers spend their days talking with working families and helping them take action on issues like foreclosure prevention, raising the minimum wage, fighting for jobs, and working to hold the banksters accountable for their destruction of the economy.

That work, combined with our tireless efforts engaging working families and families of color in the electoral process, are the real reasons why O'Keefe and his corporate-funded backers in the attack media targeted ACORN.

The Times continues to refuse to state the obvious-that O'Keefe deceived the public, specifically by editing in "b-roll" of his absurd costume and more broadly by misrepresenting what ACORN organizers do. This despite the clear admission by O'Keefe co-conspirators Hannah Giles and Andrew Breitbart both being caught on tape saying he never wore the pimp suit in any ACORN office.[9] Despite the findings of the Harshbarger report. Despite Breitbart's admission that the pimp get-up was just a marketing gimmick. [10]

In fact, Clark Hoyt continues to profess, "I still don't see that a correction is in order, because that would require conclusive evidence that The Times was wrong, which I haven't seen." [11]

Can you help Mr. Hoyt see the conclusive evidence by sending him a letter in his role as the Public Editor of the New York Times?

With your help we can set the record straight and put America's newspaper of record on notice that we expect it to live up to its responsibility to us and to our democratic system and report the truth.

Lots of people have asked me why we don't just drop the topic of O'Keefe's video scam and move on. Believe me, no one would like to close the book on this story more than I would.. But the truth is important, and the truth is the lies that O'Keefe peddled and that news outlets that should know better continue to perpetuate, to this day, not only hurt ACORN -- they represent standing threat against anyone who empowers poor people and people of color in this country.

With your help we can help strengthen democracy in America and make sure that working families have a strong voice in 2010 and beyond.

I've "put up."  You?  sl

Organizing for America
Organizing for America
Friends --

As we head into an election year, the new strategy for killing reform is claiming that members of Congress who vote for it will suffer at the polls.

For months, our opponents have spread lies about reform to scare voters away. But the simple truth about what reform would actually do -- save jobs, guarantee all Americans affordable, stable coverage, and significantly reduce the deficit -- is something most Americans strongly support.

The question is, come November, will the voters know the facts?

OFA supporters have asked for a way to show every member of Congress that if they fight for reform now, we'll back them up this election season.

That's why we're launching "You fight, we'll fight" -- a volunteer pledge bank where you can commit your time to back up candidates and officials who fight hard for health reform.

We're shooting for 1,000,000 hours pledged to spread the word to fellow voters. And if we get there, we'll publish the total hours pledged in USA Today, so there will be no doubt that health reform is both good policy and good politics.

Can you pledge right away?
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/commitforhealthreform?source=VIC-021110

Pledge to volunteer


President Obama has made it crystal clear that he has no intention of walking away from health reform -- and this movement has made its desire to fight on just as clear.

And many members of Congress are already working hard by his side to get the job done. But for those on the fence about whether or not to proceed, knowing you are there to back up a courageous stand can make all the difference.

Your volunteer hours can have a huge impact no matter where you live. You can make calls into critical districts where health reform champions are in jeopardy, write letters to the editor, volunteer for nearby campaigns, or even just talk to friends, family, and neighbors to help cut through the special interest spin.

We'll offer lots of ways to get involved between now and the elections in November, and you can decide which are right for you -- the important thing right now is to publicly show your commitment to fight for those who make health reform a reality.

Please help us hit our ambitious goal of one million volunteer hours pledged:

We've certainly faced setbacks in this fight. But as President Obama told OFA supporters last week, that only means we need to work that much harder.

Thanks for making it possible,

Mitch

"The OUTCOME is NEVER the miracle. The ATTEMPT is the Miracle, always." SL

Sitting with my brother Macias today after my morning shift at the
Vigil (prop1.org) taught me this:

"The OUTCOME is NEVER the miracle. 
The ATTEMPT is the Miracle, always."
  SL

My brother Macias is on Hunger Strike day #40, or thereabouts.
He is fighting for immigration reform - NOW:

Youth Rally & Mass for Life 2010 - Hunger Striker
Risks All for his Brothers & Sisters

Water only.  I watch him get weaker and weaker every day.
I watch him get thinner and thinner every day.

I've watched him here in DC, alone, far from his San Antonio home
for 6 weeks or so.

Away from his friends, family, support network.  Living in strange
homeless shelters.

The repeated robberies of his belongings - hasn't slowed him down;
hasn't dampened his spirits; hasn't seemed to effect his spirits.

DC is filled with well funded organizations with a "supposed"
Interest in Immigration Reform.  ZERO SUPPORT.  ZERO CONTACT.
ZERO INTEREST.  Macias goes on, undaunted.

HIS ATTEMPT, IS A MIRACLE.

HIS COURAGE, IS A MIRACLE.

HIS GOODNESS, IS A MIRACLE.

HIS KINDNESS, IS A MIRACLE.  (He regularly brings FOOD for me,
from the shelters, so I am not  hungry.  Think about it.  And he
insists that I eat, while we work together on his campaign.  Think
about it.)

HIS FOCUS, IS A MIRACLE.

HIS ENDURANCE, IS A MIRACLE....

The Miracle wasn't the end of apartheid, but the endurance of
Mandela and others.

The Miracle wasn't the liberation of India, but Gandhi's endurance,
and that of others.

The Miracle wasn't major victories over Texas polluters, but Diane
Wilson's endless courage and sacrifice for the cause.

The Miracle hasn't been the termination of Mountain Top Removal,
but these s/heroes faithfulness to the cause.

Have you reached out to him?  Have you helped him?  Have you
ATTEMPTED to get him help and support?

SL here. To the True Friends - Thank you

Thanks for your help recently, you True Friends in the Attempt.

1.  I'm told by one of our heroes in West Virginia that all are now
out of jail, ON BAIL, in part due to the solidarity actions of some
of you.   (vid below)

Two Heroes Languish in Jail. Crime? Fighting for you. Mountain Top Removal.
I have no credit card, so the donations I've accumulated these
last several years, mostly $1 bills from school kids that came in the spring
this year (prop1.org), along with all my belongings that they can use,  have
to be sent to an address, that only today I was able to secure from
them ClimateGroundZero.org.  I'll be sending all that I own (the laptop I use
is not mine) that isn't essential to the prop1.org vigil tomorrow.  My point? 
These heroes -
 
A.  are now just beginning the COURT BATTLES - IF NO ADDITIONAL
$$$, GUESS IF THEY WILL BEAT THE MULTI-BILLION $ MASSEY ENERGY
IN COURT, IN COAL OWNED WV. UHHHHHHH?????;

B,. These Tough-Loving Warriors ARE JUST STARTING THEIR WORK,
you heard in the vid (below) - now they plan to expand to other 
MTR sites throughout Appalachia.  The Revolutionary. War Soldiers
were kept alive by citizens like you.  For God's sake, for YOUR sake,
FUND RAISE FOR THEM.  PLEASE.  THESE FOLKS ARE THE GLOBAL SPARK
FOR TRUE CITIZEN ACTION ON A WHOLE HOST OF ISSUES - THAT WE
NEED, THAT WE WILL DIE WITHOUT !!!!

2.  Thanks for your PROMOTIONAL help.  In part thanks to you this
channel jumped last week from 8,000 viewings per day to more than
35,000 per day.  We Friends are using this SL2 Chan as a powerful
platform for TRUTH, for SANITY!!  Just tonight you quickly, you True
Friends have given us a chance of being a strong moderator of the
debate about Pr. Obama's BRILLIANT NASHUA SPEECH TONIGHT. 

Pr. Obama (1 of 8) - Town Hall Nashua NH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ0tcU-q04I

ANYONE THAT IS WATCHING SHOULD know by now THAT ANYONE
THAT ISN'T STANDING, STANDING, STANDING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER
WITH PR. OBAMA - WILL GO DOWN IN INFAMY.  He IS the greatest
leader in the History of the world.  IF YOU COULD PICK ANYONE IN
HISTORY TO BE OUR CEO AT THIS TIME IN HISTORY - OBAMA IS THE
EASY, OBVIOUS CHOICE - ON EVERY DIMENSION.  WHATEVER GOD
IS, OBAMA IS A GOD-SEND.

barackobama.com - !!!! NOT ANYWHERE ELSE !!!!, IS WHERE WE NEED
TO UNITE, TO BRING OTHERS, TO FOCUS AND LEAP HUMANITY OUT OF
THE PYRE, AND ON TO A LEVEL OF SALVATION ONLY DREAMED OF BEFORE. 

CERTAIN HELL IS THE DEFAULT, IF YOU DON'T.  ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN.

Your brother,

"Start, are you trying to be like Gandhi, King, Jesus...? :-)" my friend
asked, trying to bring me down a peg.

"Hell yes!  Aren't you!?!?!?"  Unless we get a bunch of Gandhi's, King's,
Jesus's, Eleanor Roosevelt's, Diane Wilson's, Col. Ann Wright's...
running around, we're screwed for good!

THESE FOLKS DON'T DIE TO BE WORSHIPED!!!!

THESE FOLKS DIE TO BE JOINED   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not the Rethugs but the Lip-service Liberal citizens are destroying US

continuing a dialog with cc on this vid
Pr. Obama (1) - The Peoples Interview on YouTube.

[MLK Jr reached EXACTLY the views expressed below, 50 years ago.  Hmmmm, yes,
he expressed it a bit differently.]

ENTROPY WINS BY DEFAULT!!!!!
[[[TODAYS]]] RETHUGS ARE THE PARTY OF ENTROPY!!!! 
[McCain's mom disowns today's Rethugs.]

We have no excuse not to know this.

IF THE LEFT DOES NOT ACT - THE RETHUGS WIN, WIN, WIN BY DEFAULT.

!!!!! AND !!!!! THE RETHUGS ( / TEA PISSERS) ACT, AND WE DO NOT!!!!!!!

THE BLOOD IS ON OUR HANDS FOLKS. ALL OF IT.

THE RETHUGS OF TODAY ARE DUMB BEASTS - CLINICALLY; ACTUALLY; IN FACT - I'M BEING
HONEST AND ACTUAL, NOT SLANDERING OR UNKIND. They ARE my brothers and sisters.
NOTHING BUT DEATH IS TO BE EXPECTED OF THEM.

BUT WHAT OF US - WHAT OF THE LEFT?

WE ARE DESTROYING AMERICA WITH OUR INACTION.

ENTROPY WINS BY DEFAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Devote at barackobma.com now, or kiss America goodbye.

It may be too late already. 

But maybe not.

[For those of you like Gandhi and me that have a profound regard for the views
of Jesus note the email to K below.]

Barack's not
quitting. Me
either.

------------- email to K, a sheroic NE Lawyer serving the oppressed -----------------

RE:
Hey K - when you have a second

Don't let me distract you from your fires.

>>> CLICK HERE.  TRUST ME <<<

Regarding my replies this morning on your two long emails:

Was Jesus just being cute, or mean, or symbolic, or un-brotherly...
when on MANY occasions he DID NOT ENGAGE IN DIALOG / NEGOTIATIONS,
responding instead with silence, departure or HARSH REBUKE????

NO!!!!  It was the proper, the only constructive response to "Folly,"
"Blindness,"  "Evil,"  "Hypocrisy,"  "Satanic Spirit...."  Pls recall the MANY
occasions that Silence or Massively Harsh Words or Departure / Ignoring
were his response. OFTEN!!!!!!

Those that worship, not Our Father, but the OTHER father ARE OUR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS, but to treat them as though they were of Our
Father is to DO THEM INJUSTICE, AND HARM.   LIKE GIVING CRACK,
OR ALCOHOL TO AN ADDICT, OR A CIGARETTE LIGHTER TO AN INFANT.

Children that have selected Satan (thinking it is Our Father) FEED
ON GENUINE ATTENTION, AND THEY USE
DECEPTION TO BLEED OUR FATHER'S CHILDREN TO DEATH.
"They will kill you and think that they do Our Father's will."

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER do I try to convince you.  The Truth is between
you and Our Father.  HOWEVER, when something is CLEAR to me
I'll speak accordingly.

Love you.

ps:  My conviction also comes from lifelong practice and study of
just this issue, as a psychologist, enterprise leader, change agent,
brother....

'The job of the citizen is to die for the common good.' Gandhi synthesis

'The job of the citizen is to die
for the common good.'
Gandhi synthesis, consequence of his reading of
"Unto This Last," by John Juskin, one
of the two books that created the
man named Gandhi.

"My non-violence does not admit of running away from danger and leaving
dear ones unprotected. Between violence and cowardly flight, I can only prefer
violence to cowardice. I can no more preach
non-violence to a coward than I can tempt
a blind man to enjoy healthy scenes.

Non-violence is the summit of bravery. And in my own experience, I have
had no difficulty in demonstrating to men
trained in the school of violence the
superiority of non-violence.
As a coward, which
I was for years, I harboured violence. I began to prize non-violence only
when I began to shed cowardice.... A rabbit that runs away from the bull terrier
is not particularly non-violent. The poor thing trembles at the sight of the terrier
and runs for very life. (YI, 28-5-1924, p178), M.K. Gandhi.

I Adored my mother.  My poor, desperately sick
younger sister had her constantly under massive
psychological, viciously hostile, SCREAMING attack.
I totally didn't know what to do TO MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(And now I weep at the recollection.)
Violence (non-Loving) was not within me;
Nor was a REMOTELY sufficient
capacity or competence for Tough-Loving.
I just didn't know how, had not undergone the training.

I've been unwilling to remain incapable, incompetent.

My TOTAL AND COMPLETE HORROR at
war / NEEDLESS SUFFERING is ever more acute,
as is my recognition that it IS THE TOTALLY WRONG ANSWER.

Obviously my forecast was off. (Brain)-Storm not yet over. :-(
