MORAL RESCUERS SHOULD JOIN (from Eva Fogelman's, "Conscience & Courage: Non-Jewish Rescuers of the Holocaust"): "Moral rescuers were people who, when asked why they risked their lives to save Jews often answered, "How else should one react when a human life is endangered?" Their concept of right and wrong was so much a part of who they were and are, that it was as if I had asked them why they breathed."
PEOPLE WHO ARE LITERALLY DYING TO STOP THE GENOCIDE SHOULD JOIN.
Anyone else should not.

What is at stake
2.5 million Darfuries are at stake.
The fate of the U.S. is at stake. The western "religion" of consumer capitalism has all but destroyed any vestiges of our humanity. Humanity is the counter to entropy (2nd law of Thermodynamics) the tendency of everything to decay.
Darfur is the West's last best hope to come alive, to regain its Humanity and to avoid the Armageddon of implosion to entropy. So far we in the west have shamelessly exploited Darfur for feelings of undeserved self righteousness for hanging banners and one day fasts from a luxury. If you want help remembering what true activism looks like these three sites are dedicated to that:
REAL ACTIVISM LOOKS LIKE THIS: Holocaust Rescuers
REAL ACTIVISM LOOKS LIKE THIS: Peace and Nonviolence
REAL ACTIVISM LOOKS LIKE THIS: David Dellinger
If you want a world to give your children, you must Rescue and Restore Darfur now.

What if we fail
There has never been such a Heart-provoking, Humanity-provoking situation as Darfur:
* Millions of pages of articles, studies... full global visibility.
* Excruciating man-made attrocity
* Slow motion development
* Petty, bully government that has shown it will be backed down with credible force.
* China and Russia its props for economic reason - easily manageable by world powers IF THEY HAD THE PUBLIC MANDATE TO DO SO.
THERE WILL NEVER AGAIN BE SUCH A HEART-PROVOKING OPPORTUNITY. WE WILL NOT GET A 2ND CHANCE TO COME ALIVE.

Who we are; Who we must become
Currently we are Start Loving.
Others are expressing interst. Why? Some are dying to stop the Darfur Genocide. Some are dying to live out their religion.
First we need to become two; then four; then eight; then sixteen....
Two... sixteen what? 100% dedicated activists dying to stop the Genocide. Start has given much thought to what is required of those in the Bridage: TRAINING, DISCIPLINE, PRACTICES, BELIFS...

What we believe
In general, passionate terms we believe:
* WHAT WE LACK IS THE GLOBAL CITIZEN WILL: Beyond question it is entirely possible to Rescue and Restore Darfur. Any imagining of the effort and elements required to do so are dwarfed by the US and worldwide resources to do so. Therefore, it is simply a matter of lacking, thus far, and raising the will to effect the Rescue and Restore. Start has given much thought to the how to prevail in this struggle.
* OUR ENTIRE WORK LIES IS RAISING THE WILL... IN TIME: Employees in this world can be counted upon to be selfish, whether we like it or not. This includes our Elected Government Officials. GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS DO WHAT IS IN THEIR INTEREST. HOW DO WE MAKE DARFUR CENTRAL TO THEIR INTEREST? OUR BEHAVIOR MUST BE THE CATALYST FOR THOUSANDS TO STAND SO CLEARLY, FIRMLY AND COMMITTEDLY THAT THE POLITICIANS SEE AN UNMISTAKABLE MANDATE OR ULTIMATUM.
Start, the first in this Brigade, has given much study and thinking to this including the PHYSICS OF THE BATTLE, THE MENTALITY at issue, THE MADNESS that keeps us all from acting accordingly, THE JOY of the attempt, and THE COST to those that make the attempt. Wisdom has been drawn from Gandhi's master - JESUS , and MANY OTHER MASTERS throughout history. FINDING THE COURAGE AND WISDOM as individuals.

How we will end the Genocide
One people have been saved only when another set of people lays down their life for them. South Africa, US Slavery, Civil Rights, Ending Vietnam War....
NO ONE IS YET LAYING DOWN THEIR LIFE FOR DARFUR. Until this changes Darfuries will die.
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 .
PRIME OBJECTIVE: Sense of Moral Reality and Urgency in the hearts of the DC / International community and President el-Bashir: HUNGER STRIKE: Stand with Darfur: Sudan Embassy . When we are two, a 2nd person joins we will both be at the Sudan Embassy. Fabulous drive by visibility for the entire DC NW metro area, and most of the world's embassies.
SECOND OBJECTIVE: Moral / Economic crisis for China: When we are 3-4, persons 3 & 4 will be 24/7 at the Chinese Embassy with signage to create a great moral embarrassment for China.
THIRD OBJECTIVE: Moral Focus Among Americans to Lay Down Their Lives: When we are 8, half of us will mount a moral action to demand that President Bush tell us what we have to produce FOR HIM to have the mandate he needs to bring this to an impeccible moral close for Darfur.
FOURTH OBJECTIVE: Mounting Moral / Economic crisis for China: When we are 16, half of us will begin Direct, Tough Love Brotherly Action to further wake up the humanity within our brother China. With total brotherly concern and responsibility we will disrupt the flow of China goods into the US - block strategic stores, baracade loading docks at ports, etc.
