Darfur Hideous: More Bush Lip Service
Bush Looks To Intensify Pressure On SudanBy Michael Abramowitz
Washington Post, May 29, 2007
LIP SERVICE. We-the-people, under the leadership of the timid, uncommitted, selfrighteous Save Darfur coalition, pay LIP SERVICE to Darfur. Bush and Congress see this, and give us LIP SERVICE in return, and we have no right to expect anything further. I can go into a Lexus dealership and try every trick in the book to get them to "give" me a car. They may be polite to me. But until I go in ready to "PAY THE PRICE," NO CAR! JUST LIP SERVICE is all I will get. Clearly, we-the-people prove day after day that WE WILL NOT PERSONALLY PAY THE PRICE TO STOP THIS GENOCIDE. Green wrist bands? YES! Banners on churches and busses? YES! Personal risk? NO!!! Personal inconvenience? NO!!!!! 21,000 non Jews risked self AND FAMILY to save Jews during WWII. We-the-people under the non-leadership of Save Darfur risk nothing, pay nothing, do nothing. Well, not surprisingly, the unstated response from Bush and Congress is the same as ours. LIP SERVICE. And, as we should expect, all we get from Al-Bashir and China is LIP SERVICE. God save us. IT IS TIME FOR WE THE PEOPLE TO PAY THE PRICE. Start Loving, Day #90, Sudan Embassy Vigil, StandWithDarfurSudanEmbassy dot blogspot dot com.

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 and Thursday 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.

Commentary: Hunger Striker Wants to Make Difference in Darfur

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 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.

ACTIVIST HYPOCRICY: LIP SERVICE BUYS NO MERCEDES
How much longer will we InActivists kill Darfuries just so we can enjoy the delusion that our Activist whining and LIP SERVICE will save Darfur? I can have an uncle running a Mercedes dealership, I even can have recommended (voted him in) my Uncle for the job, BUT WITHOUT $$$$ (PAYING THE PRICE) NO MERCEDES!!!!!!!!!
Bush is our paid employee. He is not on commission (except from the corporations.) We the people can whine and give LIP SERVICE on Darfur till every Darfurie is tortured to extermination, BUT UNTIL WE STEP UP WITH THE PRICE, LIP SERVICE IS ALL WE WILL RECEIVE IN RETURN, along mutilated Darfurie corpses.
This is the seminal, and to be expected finding of Samantha Power's brilliant, "Problem From Hell," a work she seems promptly to have forgotten upon receiving her Pulitzer. Her conclusion is 'Genocide has never been stopped because the people have never stood up!' THE POLITICIANS WILL NOT TAKE RISK UNTIL WE GIVE AN UNMISTAKABLE MANDATE OR ULTIMATUM TO THEM - WE MUST VOTE WITH OUR BODIES (fingers sending emails, postcards, dialing phones do not count.)
It has been four years. IF we citizens want the genocide to stop we must vote unmistakably with our BODIES.
IF AN ALL POWERFUL ENTITY PLACED YOUR DEAREST LOVED ONE IN A DARFURIE CAMP TODAY AND GAVE YOU UNTIL JUNE 30 TO STOP THE GENOCIDE AND SAVE THEM, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? (Oh, so now you see the sham of emails, green bracelets, more postcars and lobying....) WHAT YOU WOULD DO FOR YOUR DEAR ONE, DO IT FOR DARFUR. NOW. My suggestion is DARFUR'S LAST HOPE: Brigade of PeaceMakers: for Darfur. JOIN NOW.
