You know, as someone who has been protesting since the early '80s, that lives on the same hill as Columbia, let me just say the idea of outside agitators is ridiculous because I would have loved to have been involved but it is something that is very different than my thing
And I would have had to have been invited in
First place, Columbia made that impossible by locking down
But secondly, they're doing things differently now and I would need to learn The outside is not teaching kids this
The violence that students are enduring right now pretty universally when they express opinions against the Zionist entity Just goes to show that it is the legitimacy of the entire nation state system that is at risk here
The complexity of the Middle East has made it impossible to gird that part of the globe into a nation state system.
A very good explanation as to why all nation states must be destroyed and that there's a possibility now
And my first mistake as far as I'm guessing is that I should not have had the fries on Monday
Didn't really bother me that much actually but then the next day when I tried to have just a burger after having mana bread, I dry heaved afterward and had incredibly painful movements
Then I started sloughing off bloody tissue and today the second day of that made it clear that I should go in especially with the pain

Not being a doc, but knowing many, that sounds like a poisoning of some sort. Sloughing off intestinal tissues is severe. I'm away from home, or I'd look into the med books. Dad has a couple book cases of them.
So I am hearing that there was a stunning walk out by #Columbia professors
Which is very encouraging because there was a huge police presence this morning and I'm betting they had wind of the walkout and were going to make some arrests
But looking at that picture, they had no chance it's like 50 protesters to every police officer
Very. Satisfying.
And at this point since it's proliferating there may be no stopping it
So I have some neighbors that are in their '70s or '80s from Japan
He's a Christian minister
We bonded because he had a very old dog that knew my first dog
Anyway I was talking about Columbia and they said I know it's terrible I said no it's wonderful and she asked Oh are you for Hamas?
It occurs to me that like the good Germans, Japanese r a country of defeated fascists and therefore very sensitive to the notion that they may be, overly sensitive to the point where they may defend them
Yes but it is an older couple, with limited English skills and the inoculation of hours of propaganda on MSNBC CNN or God forbid Fox So it's just sort of a punt at that point
The next time I see him I will politely smile and not wave and if he waves the second time I will tell him that frankly I am very concerned that he supports fascists and leave it at that unless there's a better way of doing it that someone might know?

I'm debating on going. It's 9.5 hours drive each way including charging. From 2017 experience, I need to go early to get ahead of the traffic. That means leaving 13 to 14 hours before the start of the eclipse. I'd sleep in the car.
