Sudan Embassy Darfur Campaign Day #89

TUESDAY, Day #90 will be spent away from the Embassy Darfur Campaign on various campaign related tasks including blogging and preparing signs for marching that will not cover my soon-to-be Auschwitz-like physique.

Wednesday through MONDAY OR TUESDAY also may bring my absence from the Embassy as I continue the privelage of covering for Ellen, the hero that has been the sole support of the Darfur Sudan Embassy Campaign every day.

EVERYTHING - Darfur and the world. DEPENDS ON ESTABLISHING A Brigade of PeaceMakers: Darfur. Join. Get others to join. Now.

Sudan Embassy Darfur Campaign Day #80

NOTE: To help Ellen, the partner in this Sudan Embassy / Darfur Campaign will not be on site at Embassy Thursday 5/24 or Wednesday Thursday 5/31, 6/1. Will be collecting and distributing food for the needy in her stead.

Bathing, Laundry and Blogging at the Washington Peace Center this evening, Saturday.

Returning Sunday early afternoon after helping out at the Washington Peace Center that has been such an extraordinary daily support of the Embassy Campaign.

Next Wednesday for 8 days I will usually be at the Embassy on the usual Marching for Darfur in the morning, but in the evenings I will be assisting friends that have been supporting the Darfur campaign, and therefore absent from the Embassy except mornings and early afternoons. Regarding the Hunger Strike these days, I anticipate dropping Calorie intake to allow for the hours marching that will be sacrificed; dropping to 300-400 calories per day I'll guess - some fruit and a small piece of chicken or fish.

What will it cost us, this killing Darfur by lip service? This post might help you, as it helps me - link.

Modified Hunger Strike continues:

  • Marching to accelerate weight loss so as to become a visual on Mass. Ave of the forced starvation being visited by our neglect on Darfur; 8-12 hours per day burning up to 3000 extra calories.
  • Consuming about 800 calories per day to survive for as many months as it takes.

My energy, mental, and physical capabilities are well within the "green zone" as far as short or long term safety is concerned, but my productivity is definitely starting to suffer big time. My body and mind are getting a bit worn out. Much, much left, but clearly I am dropping away from my peak abilities, for now.

NPR: Darfur Sudan Embassy Vigil Day #75

Commentary: Hunger Striker Wants to Make Difference in Darfur
May-06-2007, All Things Considered
...believes his actions can make a difference in Darfur. He inspired this commentary from NPR's Kitty Eisele. KITTY EISELE: He calls himself ?Start Loving,? but actually it's the last...

Listeners Letters: McGinley Commentary, Immigrant Profile
All Things Considered, May 12, 2007 · Listeners air their thoughts on Kitty Eisele's commentary about Jay McGinley, and Debbie Elliot's profile of Dr. Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa, a former illegal migrant worker, now a citizen and a neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins University.

Start Loving - In defense of Ms. Eisele: "I take it as a kindness in support of the Darfur cause that NPR aired the comment above from the California listener. With all respect and affection for the listener, this Californian clearly did NOT understand Ms. Eisele's report. Clearly Ms. Eisele was communicating with courageous honesty her conflicted support and respect for my embrace of people 6000 miles away; and making herself extremely vulnerable to criticism through her selfless self-depreciation. God bless your courage, insight, compassion, skill and support for Darfur Ms. Eisele. Tragically so far, one in a million posses or use these wonderful characteristics you have displayed."

Start Loving correcting Ms. Eisele regarding White House protesters: "Among the only people in the world "sane" enough to stand for their brothers and sisters in Darfur, Iraq and other places thousands of miles from the U.S. are some of those "crazy" White House protesters you so carelessly maligned. Ellen Thomas, with support from her husband Thomas is the only person yet to come forward with daily support of the Sudan Embassy Darfur Action for which you have at least guarded hope. Ellen was one of those White House demonstrators for 18 years, and now chairs the Washington Peace Center and is a world respected anti Nuclear activist. Thomas is in his 26th year of White House vigil against nuclear armaments and for truth and wisdom in government. Thomas and Ellen's bill Prop 1 to eliminate nucs worldwide has been proposed by Rep. Eleanor Homes Norton every year for many, many years now and has ever increasing international support. Pretty Crazy huh?

The prophets of every age are judged by their peers as "crazy," and by history as the only ones that were "sane" in their time; the ones that if NOT "stayed away from" might have averted, well, Armageddon. Please take care. You, Ms. Eisele are so much better than that.

ps: Are there no crazies in-front-of the White House? Are there no crazies IN the White House?"

Darfur Sudan Embassy Campaign: Day 74 May 13th

About once per week I go to family's abode to bathe, blog and launder. 9pm my 12 hour march yesterday brought me to them. Usually I return by early morning to the Embassy but after blogging and writing all night long, at 6am I had hours more writing and blogging to do. So I took a nap, now am doing the blogging, and by early to mid afternoon will resume the Embassy campaign; UNLESS, I return tomorrow morning to the Embassy. I think a day away to refress may be wise.

By looks of the mirror it is within hours or days time of my shirt coming off and shorts on to show the initial inklings of Darfur Holocaust / Auschwitz on Embassy Row!!!!!!! I am so grateful.

More later today.

Darfur Hunger Strike Sudan Embassy: May 7

Things have never looked so bleak for Darfur. It turns out that Congress, the UK, and President Bush are every good at lip service and deception as el-Bashir and we-the-people are. We are going to talk our Darfuries to death.

It will take a miracle to break this deadly cycle of talk, do nothing, talk, do nothing....

We must wake up and see that they are our family. There is no other hope.
