MLK Jr. + Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh



Brothers in the Beloved Community: The Friendship of Thich Nhat Hanh and Martin Luther King Jr.

Brothers (Parallax Press)
(Paperback) Author Bishop Marc Andrus has 4.7 out of 5 stars (with 105 reviews). This is the never-before-told story of the friendship between American Christian Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh—icons who changed each other and the world.

The day after Rev. King was assassinated in 1968, Thich Nhat Hanh wrote a heartbroken letter to their mutual friend Raphael Gould. In it he said: "I did not sleep last night.... They killed Martin Luther King. They killed us.

"I am afraid the root of violence is so deep in the heart and mind and manner of this society. They killed him. They killed my hope. I do not know what to say.... He made so great an impression in me. This morning I have the impression that I cannot bear the loss." More

AUTHORMarc Andrus is the American bishop of the Episcopal Church (Anglican Communion). He was the eighth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of California until his retirement in the summer of 2024. Prior to his election as Bishop of California, Andrus served as a suffragan bishop in the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama. More

Wolves are a keystone species to save

Justine Block | Facebook: Wolves need to be relisted on the endangered species list.

It's counterintuitive, but it'll work.
If I had to give one good reason to relist wolves on the endangered species list, it would be because they are a keystone species. Full stop. Their reintroduction will save the forest. The Native Americans knew it, and we forgot it and nearly lost all the wooded land. Now it's time to bring them back by protecting them as a vital part of nature. Join me in the campaign to save all animals but particularly the species central to the health of our woodlands.

Forget wolves. We're charismatic megafauna apex predators
Wolves: A Critical Keystone Species

Nature knows best. Bring back the animals.
An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. It includes all of the living things interacting with each other and non-living environments (weather, earth, sun, soil, climate, atmosphere) in a given area. In an ecosystem, all species rely on each other, and each organism has its’ own niche or role to play. A keystone species is a plant or animal that plays a disproportionately large role in the ecosystem – impacting both the prevalence and population levels of other species within their community. More

Greta gets Gaza aid past IDF to Egypt



Greta Thunberg’s Gaza-bound aid ship reaches Egyptian coast despite IDF’s warning of naval blockade
(Oneindia News) Premiered June 7, 2025: Greta Thunberg and 11 other activists aboard the Madleen, a ship carrying aid to Gaza, have reached Egypt’s coast. Part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the vessel departed from Sicily to challenge Israel’s blockade on Gaza. The crew, including German activist Yasemin Acar, say they are safe but prepared for confrontation. The Israeli Navy is expected to intercept the UK-flagged ship if it enters Israeli waters, a move rights groups say would violate international law. Britain has so far refused Israeli requests to block the ship’s entry into contested waters.

Moments before Israeli forces abduct activists
(Middle East Eye) June 8, 2025: “We are being intercepted right now.” Footage shared by Al Jazeera, including video from reporter Omar Faiad and onboard security cameras, shows the final moments before Israeli forces detained activists aboard the Madleen, part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. The video captures Israeli forces shouting commands as they prepare to board, while activists sit with their hands raised in a clear show of non-violence. The activists had confirmed that no one was injured prior to the boarding. All contact with those on board has since been lost.

That time my ANGER killed me (NDE)

But I hate him so much because he's so full of hate, and I hate hate and people who hate!

Why are you mad? - Oh, I'dunno, no reason.
Can anger grow so bad that it eats us alive? But anger is "natural," and it's not good to hold it in. Science has found that people who express their anger, say by beating a pillow, significantly worsen. Acting out what is a transient emotion into a practice trigger-and-response.

Ven. JC Reilly, Dr. Nicholson, and angry Sandler
Every time I hear that man's name, I get so triggered and p*ssed off, I'm just like Whoopi Goldberg cussing like I did when I was best friends with Mr. Trump, who often hired to me to cuss with my filthy mouth during my act.

Shut the h*ll up, Kids, before I beat you! - Yeah, you heard Mom, shut the h*ll up! - No, you!
.
The way to "manage" anger is to let it all hang out, behave irrationally, right? What could be healthier? When anger arises, watch it mindfully (non-reactively). If that is impossible, apply the immediately-effective antidote of metta (loving-kindness).

What are the Three Poisons the Buddha warned against? Craving, HATRED, and delusion.
.
If feeling cold indifference towards others and their plight, practice karuna (compassion).

If not happy enough and wishing to instantly be happy, engage in mudita (joy in others' joy), the opposite of schadenfreude.

(What's that? It's delight in the misfortune of others, like poor Mr. Trump, who has to wear an adult diaper and fouls himself daily, which is why his baggy pants are so ill-fitting and wrinkled and his posture so extraordinarily bad, pushing his butt out and behind him. Just ask firsthand witness Noel Casler.)

What's wrong with anger if I don't hurt anyone?
One of the very dysfunctional things about anger is that, without realizing it, we often use it as the basis of our bad habits: I have to drink, I have to party, I have to get my grind on...or I'll explode. First, make things internally intolerable with messy emotions. Then "solve" the distress with a dysfunctional coping method.

Angry activist dies from heart attack and discovers we are all one (NDE)
Anger Management my @$$!
(Coming Home) Mr. David Williamson shares the story of his near-death experience, dying of a heart attack brought on by hypertension after years of intense anger-fueled activism in support of the Black community.

During his encounter on the Other Side, he is surprised to realize that we are All One, while experiencing himself as a glowing orb of light and learning that no experience in this human life is ever lost or wasted.

Mr. Williamson shares how the experience transformed the way he views life now and how it changed the way he relates to all other people.

"We are creating our next life right now in this moment, with our attention"

Shani Louk dead b/c Netanyahu set her up?

Jimmy Dore, Due Dissidence, Kurt Metzger (The Jimmy Dore Show); Shauna Schwartz, Ashley Wells, Sheldon S., Pfc. Sandoval (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Did I have to die as a pretext for Bibi Netanyahu to launch his genocidal ethnic cleansing?
"Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a [comrade]," Bibi Jack.
What could be better than being a pretext for war, dead so that Israel can kill the young?

She was dressed this way when we picked her up. No one undressed her. She's a refusenik?
We miss Jewish peaceniks who party
with armed IDF soldier on leave!

Gen Z Jewish teen refuses to kill for Israel

A Gen Z Israeli has been sent to prison for refusing to enlist in the Israeli military, which ordinary citizens are forced to do in the apartheid state of Israel.
Hamas took my Boobala to Gaza.
Tal Mitnick says he cannot support [Israel's endless] cycle of violence and oppression of Palestinian people.

Mitnick has been sentenced to 30 days in prison before being screened once again [and he gets to keep his soul, unless Netanyahu needs it for something else in the future].
Bibi, give them their taxes! - Shut up, Joe.
A Gen Z Israeli is going to military prison after refusing to enlist in the country's military amid its war with Hamas, saying he won't be part of an 'eye for an eye' cycle of violence.

Jewish Tal Mitnick, an 18-year-old from Tel Aviv, Israel, is one of several young Israelis defying Israel's mandatory military service, but he is the first to be sent to military prison during his country's war on Palestinians using the pretext that it is only trying to kill "Hamas" (and its supporters and anyone who looks like they might be one or the other, which is just about everyone in Palestine).

See, these are good boys threatening violence.
Israel invaded Gaza and declared war against Hamas after the militant group fought back by attacking Israel's perimeter, where Israel put kibbutzim (militant communes spying on Gaza Concentration Camp and acting as a first line of defense hemming in Palestinians) in October. 

Mitnick was sentenced on Tuesday to 30 days in prison after refusing to enlist in the IDF (Israeli Offensive Forces), a spokesperson for the IDF told Business Insider.

We'll kick that peacenik Tal's ass later.
In a lengthy personal statement shared with Business Insider, Mitnick said that he supports Palestinian people and does not want to contribute to Israel's attacks on Gaza.

"Before the war, the [Israeli] army guarded [illegal Jewish Israeli] settlements, maintained the murderous siege on the Gaza Strip, and upheld the status quo of apartheid and Jewish supremacy in the land between the Jordan and the sea," Mitnick wrote in his statement. More

Israeli soldier IDF veteran of Gaza speaks out

Jews in newsroom reveal the truth of Israeli war crimes on CTV News (jimmydore.com)

This Israeli soldier fought in Gaza. Now he speaks out
(Owen Jones) Dec. 15, 2023: Commander Ariel Bernstein is a former IDF combat soldier who fought in the West Bank and Gaza in 2014. Now he campaigns for peace and against Israel's illegal occupation and Zionist settlements. This is one of the most fascinating interviews Owen Jones has done, according to Jones. Bernstein talks about his experience in Gaza, about dehumanization, mowing the lawn (a regular round of violence inflicted on the helpless, army-less Palestinians), Israel's wartime propaganda -- and where this is all heading.
  • BreakingTheSilence.org.il: Zionist-Jewish terrorist IDF soldiers speak out in regret, asking for peace from Israel over occupation, apartheid, racism, elitism, and police state (state-sponsored) terrorism on the civilian Arab population of Palestine (Jerusalem, Gaza, West Bank, and refugee camps outside the country)

Rosa Parks: The 'no' that sparked movement

Rosa Parks: The 'no' that sparked the civil rights movement
I have seen the Promised Land.
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white passenger.

In these exclusive BBC clips, discover how her courageous act of defiance set in motion a chain of events that ended segregation in the US, but at a personal cost to Parks herself.

On a winter's evening in 1955, a 42-year-old African-American woman named Rosa Parks, tired after a long day of work as a seamstress, boarded a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, to get home. She paid her fare and took an empty seat in the area of the bus marked "colored."


Ladies man Rev. MLK, Jr.
Fifty-five years earlier, racist Montgomery had passed a law to segregate bus passengers by race. The front of the bus was reserved for white travelers, the seats at the back for Blacks.

But it had also become a custom that bus drivers would instruct a Black passenger to give up a seat if there were no "white-only" seats.

As the bus filled up, bus driver James Blake demanded that she and three other black passengers give up their seats. Rosa Parks alone refused.

Females were attracted to MLK's charisma.
"I did this because I felt I was being violated as a human being. I had had a hard day at work on the job, [I was] physically tired as well as mentally vexed. I was sick of this type of thing we had to endure as a people because of our race," she later said in a BBC interview. More + VIDEO

Zionist Jews are worst RACISTS, says Jew

Miko Peled with Host Paul Jay, Reality Asserts Itself, The Real News Network, 12/12/16; Sheldon S., Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

The Jewish general's son: From privileged Zionist Jew to activist for Palestinian rights
(The Real News Network) On Reality Asserts Itself (RAI), Jewish Miko Peled tells Paul Jay that he's come to understand about the Israeli occupation and apartheid of Palestinian lands.

"Conspiracy theories" against Jews or just coincidences or something rotten about Israel?
"Hurt people hurt people" - victims of racism sometimes become worst perpetrators of it.
.
Orthodox Jews reject Israel.
It did not begin in 1948. That is when it culminated. Peled broke with the liberal Zionist belief in the "secularization of the Bible."

The Bible is not a history book, its biblical figures are not historical figures, and tracing some imagined lineage from the ancient Middle East to modern Europe (Ashkenazi racism) for the purpose of saying, "We own this land" is the racist mission -- not actually sanctioned by the British, as many have been led to believe, because its Balfour Agreement states that the people already living on the land, the "Palestinians" and their land, will be respected --  of inventing a "Jewish state" on top of other peoples' heads even if that means exterminating them like "vermin," a Nazi (and Trumpian) sentiment due to Hitler's rhetoric.

Those people are called "Palestinians," which racist Zionist Jews say, "are not a people and have never been a people and will never be allowed to be a people...because only 'Jews' are actual people."

Peled says BDS (the Boycott, Divest, and Sanction Israel movement) is an effective strategy that should be supported by all caring people around the world, other than Zionists, who should view it as an existential threat to their genocidal project in Palestine.
Blaming "Jews" for everything bad, when many Ultra-Orthodox have lived at peace alongside Muslims, Arabs, and Christians for centuries until European Jews (the Ashkenazim) arrived.

Let's get to know the Jews

I will be dictator one day. The CIA promised me.
It's doubtful there are even 1 million American Jews, much less 7 million, a number we have never heard, which would mean there are more Jews in the U.S. than in all of Israel. Jews are a minority in Israel, which is why a constitution cannot be ratified, a legal state declared, and an actual functioning democracy established: If it were, Jews would be in the minority. Few Jews want to move to this Zionist settler colonial project of perpetual war, forced enlistment, and genocide and ethnic cleansing, apartheid and illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine (e.g., in the West Bank), and constant state spying and oppression involuntary detention without charge, torture, and murder with impunity. Israel has to keep lying, because if people knew the truth, the whole colonial project might fall apart.
