Yad Vashem says UN must act in Darfur

Military force must be sent to Sudan, Holocaust Museum heads tell UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. 'Mere statements are no longer sufficient,' they say

The United Nations must take action to stop the genocide in the Darfur region, Yad Vashem heads said in a letter sent Sunday to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. (LINK ABOVE for full article.)

Darfur Hunger Strike Day #56 Sudan Embassy

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

I anticipate that with the work of yesterday through the wee hours of this morning I am ready to enter an assault on hearts / souls of months, maybe many many months in and around the Sudan Embassy.

The agony and the ecstasy continue. Much about the spiritual and physical aspects of this campaign are at http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/.

It is now a race against the clock for Darfur. Bush blustering creates and opportunity. China's attention is now on the implications of their obstruction. UK/US Security Council control through June 30.

I expect to be in a race to avoid Darfur / Global death 24/7, desperately trying to be God's Grief and Suffering regarding Darfur / U.S. - International Heartlessness at and around 221o Mass. Ave / Embassy Row, DC.

I expect to continue 10-12 hours/day forced marching for maximum communication with the new posters and to drop to an an Auschwitz physique (although I'm pretty close now). I'm thereby burning about 2500 cal/day and dropping an estimated 1-1.5 lbs per day. Within two weeks I expect to hit bottom and then, if God and Angels provide the 2500 cal/day I expect to continue to keep expending I'll stabilize indefinitely.

Pray for Darfur. Pray for my faithfulness. Pray for your loved ones born and yet unborn.

The fate of the world is being decided, now.

Darfur Heroics: Mia Farrow Genocide Olympics

Beijing Olympics 2008 official logo

The Chinese government funds the genocide in Sudan, and has been doing so for years..The Chinese Foreign Minister, when asked about it by a reporter for the New York Times, said "It is all just business to us."

The Chinese hope the Olympics will improve their image and bring them honor on the world stage. And yet they are sponsoring genocide. Indeed, oil that is fueling the building in preparation for the Olympics is pumped out of the ground in Sudan..and the money paid for that oil is used to by the government of Sudan, with Chinese approval, to commit genocide..

Darfur Heroics: Kristoff, FINALLY

Driving Up the Price of Blood (by Nicholas Kristof)
The "CFD" has posted his latest column (from Tuesday)...

Conclusion: "Perhaps the explanation for Mr. Bush’s passivity is the same as the explanation for Mr. Bashir’s brutality. Maybe Mr. Bush has made his calculations, looked at the number of calls and letters he gets about Darfur, weighed the pros and cons, and decided that Americans really don’t care enough about genocide to make him pay a major price for allowing it to continue."

We have given Bush/Congress neither a MANDATE nor an ULTIMATUM. Yet?

Darfur Heroics: Edmonton Students 8 Days Walk

Hmm, which sets a higher price on Darfurie lives:
A. Green wrist bands
B. One day fast from one of your luxuries
C. A postcard
D. 20 students walking 8 days for Darfur

"For the next eight days a group of 20 Grant MacEwan college students will walk more than 300 km from Calgary to Edmonton to raise funds and awareness for the plight of people in Darfur suffering and dying in a protracted genocide."

Darfur Heroics: Yad Vashem: For Darfur - NOTHING!

The world is doing nothing to halt the genocide is again being perpetrated in Darfur - that was the message from Yosef (Tommy Lapid), a Holocaust survivor from Budapest, who now serves as chairman of the Yad VaShem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem for the six million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis during World War II. Lapid was speaking at the annual Holocaust memorial ceremony this week. This is a translation of his address to the people of Israel and the world. Full article: DARFUR & THE HOLOCAUST

Every day horror, from Darfur to Paris

Editorial of the week of 21/04/2007
This week we wish to draw our readers’ attention to the situation in Darfur where, from February 2003, nearly 400 000 people have been massacred by the militias of the Sudanese government, and more than two million people have been forcibly displaced. Most editorialists are calling this the “Darfur crisis”, we prefer to call it the massacre or the crime against humanity.

DARFUR: Sudan Embassy Hunger Strike Day 45

Dr. King, "A man is not fit [equipped] to live until he knows what he would die for."

A Hunger For Justice : Darfur Becomes One Man's Cause for Deprivation
Delphine Schrank, C01 (Post) Washington Post, April 14, 2007

NOTE: WE HAVE UNTIL JUNE 30, CONTROL OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL, TO RESCUE & RESTORE DARFUR. JOIN A BRIGADE OF PEACEMAKERS, NOW, OR IT IS TOO LATE.

45 days now Darfur Hunger Strike at the Sudan Embassy in DC and every minute of every day bears out fully what Dr. King was saying. No one has more Peace, Love, Joy, and Life each minute of every day than I am having. Yes, and an enormous amount of Agony for my family, our family in Darfur, and here in the U.S. Oh my God, how can we here have become so dead in our Humanity that after four years we are not dropping everything, EVERYTHING to give Bush the unmistakable mandate he needs, HE NEEDS to pull out all the stops and PEACEFULLY but in an impeccable TOUGH LOVE, GENUINELY TOUGH LOVE MANNER TO STOP THIS GENOCIDE NOW AND RESTORE DARFURIES LOVINGLY AND RICHLY TO THEIR LIVES, with an air tight, extremely time-aggressive short, medium and long term solution?!?!?!?!?

Darfur is the battle for humanity for planet earth, AND for the Rescue and Restore of 2.5 million Darfuries currently in concentration camps. Worth giving your life for? Do you love your children, born and unborn? If using Darfur we in the U.S. don't / can't raise enough humanity to save them then there will no longer be enough humanity to counter the forces of destruction / entropy in the US or world wide. Game over, Armageddon begins / continues unopposed in a myriad of excruciating ways. For strategic background see: Darfur Hunger Strike Day 35: To The Death or Resolution by June 30 and also Darfur: Necessary components for resolution by June 30 .

Today began my power dive. Darfur and Washington need my body to immediately manifest the neglect we have been visiting on Darfur. As long as I can, 12 hours today, I will abstain from all calories and exercise all day long. Remember the pictures of Auschwitz? That is the picture I need to be on Embassy row in front of the Sudan Embassy ASAP. God grant me the speed.
Much computer work on these Sites has consumed evenings this week. With that work now complete I expect to be at the Sudan Embassy 7/24 through June 30.

Everything now hinges on 1 person joining the Hunger Strike. Then we can attract two more.... There is no other legitimate hope. Oh, we can continue counting on luck / divine intervention. There is NO CHANCE that this would lovingly Restore Darfur nor be sufficient to reverse the entropy destroying all aspects of earth; only raising our humanity can do that.

Darfur Hunger Strike Day 44 at Sudan Embassy.

"DO UNTO OTHERS ALL THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU," The Golden Rule of Humanity. Are you tired of acting NOT like the people in Darfur are your IMMEDIATE FAMILY; not doing "ALL that you would have them do unto you?" No one is behaving that way right? Never has a people been saved unless and until others laid down their life for them; right? Can't stand not to? Come join at the Sudan Embassy, 2210 Mass. Ave, Washington, DC.

[SEE: SEE: A Hunger For Justice : Darfur Becomes One Man's Cause for Deprivation Delphine Schrank, C01 (Post) Washington Post, April 14, 2007]

When there are TWO of us: we will stay at the Sudan Embassy

When there are FOUR of us: two will go to the Chinese Embassy

When there are EIGHT of us: Four will begin a series of actions at the White House demanding to meet with President Bush to have him tell us WHAT MANDATE WE CITIZENS NEED TO PROVIDE TO HIM so that he can bring the RESCUE AND RESTORE OF DARFUR to immediate fruition.

When there are SIXTEEN of us: Eight of us will begin nonviolent direct action to interfere with the flow of goods from China. We will interfere with the offloading of shipments from China, Picket certain stores....

When there are THIRTY TWO of us: Some of us will position ourselves in boats in front of Chinese tankers like SeaSheperds does to protect whales. Certainly people deserve more heroism than whales.

We're killing time. In God's name, Start Loving

Darfur Hunger Strike Day 35: To The Death or Resolution by June 30

Now is the time to end the Gencide - by June 30th. Darfur on Their Radar Screen, Washington Post. According to this article:

* Bush is furious at tepid sanction options and has called his staff for definitive ones.
* England has the Security Council in May.
* US has Security Council in June.
* Bush wants China to stop obstructing.

Just one problem. The citizens of the US have not given Bush 1/1000th of the mandate he needs. We've taken no risks and we are asking him to risk major political capital - his life. This is functionally, effectively and morally bankrupt on the part of we the citizens.

We all vote with our lives EVERY DAY! Like me most of my life we vote for bigger houses, better jobs, higher incomes, more DVD's, more reality TV, or Starbucks, more McDonald's, more Outback Steakhouse.... The elected officials see this and THIS is what the work on for us.

WE DO NOT VOTE WITH OUR LIVES FOR DARFUR. Yet.

For the next 2.5 months you and I need to VOTE WITH OUR VERY LIVES, giving an unmistakable moral and political mandate to Bush to invest the full moral, political, diplomatic and financial capital of this country to rescue and lovingly restore the people of Darfur now.

I'm going to vote with my life - I'm laying my life on the line. Next Tuesday will be day 41 of my water only hunger strike in front of the Sudan Embassy on Embassy row in DC. On water only I've got only about 20 days left I figure. But on 600 calories per day I can last until the end of June. So April 10th I go on 600 cal / day and fast either to the death, or until I see:

1. An absolutely certain plan to end the atrocities in the works;
2. An absolutely certain plan to restore the people of Darfur FULLY to their lives, IN THE WORKS;

Death or 1 & 2, which ever come first. This is the best I know how to put Bush in the strongest moral and political position to take the risks he needs to take.

What are you going to do? Join me. Or LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE UNMISTAKEABLY some other way. Now. Do it.

US DARFUR ACTIVISM - TOTAL MORAL FAILURE

Saving Darfur, Multiple Steps at a Time
Coalition's Lobbying Blitz Is Credited With Spurring Bush's Sudan Sanctions By Jeffrey H. BirnbaumWashington Post Staff WriterFriday, June 1, 2007; Page D01]

Day #93 Darfur Vigil at Sudan Embassy DC.

U.S. DARFUR ACTIVISM TOTAL MORAL FAILURE? Imagine the three people in the world you love the very most. Remember how much you love them. Do it. Ok. Now imagine that 4 years ago an all powerful entity, God, came and disguised these loved ones as Darfuries beyond any hope of recognition and placed them in Darfur; and further told you that if you told anyone that your loved ones would die immediately. You are told that the only way you can save them is to stop the genocide and restore Darfuries to their lives. WOULD YOU BE ACTING ANY DIFFERENTLY THAN YOU ARE NOW?!??!?!?!?!!?!?!?!??!? You sure as hell would.

Here is the other way that I look at it. Another one of tests of accountability I hold myself to in my personal actions is to imagine myself in Heaven after I die in front of my Darfur brothers and sisters explaining what I did or did not do. I think I'll do all right in these conversations. In similar conversations with my Cambodian, Rwandan, Balkan... brothers and sisters the behaviors of mine I describe will leave me shamed and without a shred of humanity.

[US & UK have the Security Council until June 30. This is your last chance to TRULY Stand with Darfur. Join a Brigade of PeaceMakers - Darfur, NOW.]

I apply the same test when considering the behavior of my brothers and sisters in the "Save Darfur Movement (SDM)." I envision the conversation going something like this:

SDM: "Yes, we knew it was 4 years. Yes we knew 450,000 exterminated. Yes we knew 2.5 million in concentration camps of forced starvation, rape, mutilation, murder and disease. We in the US agonized for you our Darfur brothers and sisters. We had meetings, and more meetings. We fasted from luxuries for one whole day per year. ONE ENTIRE DAY - WE ABSTAINED FROM ONE OF OUR LUXURIES! On another day we formed a human chain. On another day we sent postcards. POSTCARDS! In all there were one million! We divested our Colleges and States. Sure the real money came from China but it helped a little and it gave us great connections and enhanced our resumes too! Two different sunny afternoons we went to parks for demonstrations, and we even listened to some of the speakers! Wow, we really pulled out all the stops! I mean, what else would you have wanted??!?!?!

DARFUR: "We wanted you to treat us as you would your immediate family, which before God, we are. "Do unto others, ALL that you would have done unto you." We were raped every day. Our children were starved every day. Our men were shot every day. Our women were mutilated every day. YOU DID NOTHING."

The lesson of the holocaust was entirely: IN THE FACE OF GENOCIDE THE CITIZENS OF THE WORLD IMMEDIATELY LAY DOWN THEIR VERY LIVES UNTIL IT STOPS.

NEVER AGAIN DENY OUR FAMILY EMERGENCY! Eric Reeves, Brian Steidle and who else has laid down their lives for our Darfur FAMILY EMERGENCY?

The great desecration of the Holocaust didn't happen last month in Iran; it has been happening in the most Holocaust educated in the world, the US, for the last 4 years as we have risked nothing, suffered nothing, sacrificed nothing. We have done nothing.

Now we repent and vote immediately with our lives, WITH OUR LIVES giving Bush an iron clad, unmistakable mandate to end this, or we are Damned, and Darfur is dead.

Original, bad thinking? Strikingly parallel to what Rabbi Abraham J. Heschel had to say in 1938, possibly the most relevant prophetic, moral writing I've ever seen. For example:

* "We have trifled with the name of God. We have taken the ideals in vain. We have called for the Lord. He came. And was ignored. We have preached but eluded Him. We have praised but defied Him. Now we reap the fruits of our failure. Through centuries His voice cried in the wilderness. How skillfully it was trapped and imprisoned in the temples! How often it was drowned or distorted! Now we behold how it gradually withdraws, abandoning one people after another, departing from their souls, despising their wisdom. The taste for the good has all but gone from the earth. Men heap spite upon cruelty, malice upon atrocity."

* "Soldiers in the horror of battle offer solemn testimony that life is not a hunt for pleasure, but an engagement for service; that there are things more valuable than life; that the world is not a vacuum. Either we make it an altar for God or it is invaded by demons. "

* "The Almighty has not created the universe that we may have opportunities to satisfy our greed, envy and ambition. We have not survived that we may waste our years in vulgar vanities. The martyrdom of millions demands that we consecrate ourselves to the fulfillment of God’s dream of salvation. Israel did not accept the Torah of their own free will. When Israel approached Sinai, God lifted up the mountain and held it over their heads, saying: “Either you accept the Torah or be crushed beneath the mountain.

”The mountain of history is over our heads again. Shall we renew the covenant with God?"
