Randy Weaver, Still Kickin'

Old Sweet Beggar

This
Path to God
Made me such an old sweet beggar.

I was starving until one night
My love tricked God Himself
To fall into my bowl.

Now Hafiz is infinitely rich,
But all I ever want to do

Is keep emptying out
My emerald-filled
Pockets

Upon
This tear-stained
World.

(The Subject Tonight is Love - versions of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky)

john at loony dot org - Saturday, April 21, 2001 - I still have tears in my eyes from this one. Welcome to the world, Brigid Rose. Just reading your father's story about your light has brightened my day. [loony]

Amber Kronberg - Friday, April 27, 2001 - thanks, Amber, for the kind words about my little blog. [eden]

I want every person I know to read Bill's site EVERY DAY. I want people to be aware of more than just the stories considered to have importance by the mainstream media. I want people to think and learn and reconsider and laugh and cry.

john at loony dot org - Thursday, October 26, 2000 - a good rant on the loss of privacy and the coming complete disappearance of privacy compliments of the techno-fascist state. [eden]

I have an idea...

Lets round up every American and put one of those radio-transmitter collars on them, and wire it to every department store security system and video camera in the United States. That way, when the government needs to know what you are doing and where you are, all they have to do is punch up a couple of screens of information.

...

I'd rather die as a John Doe than safely exist my entire life as #273645-88435, with Uncle Sam keeping close watch over whether I am naughty or nice.

I read the new issue of Doing Freedom!. An excerpt from one of Claire Wolfe's new books. A great story by Victor Milan. Farewell from Don Lobo Tiggre. Sunni's going to be editing Doing Freedom! by herself from here on out, while Don Lobo works on a new, as yet unamed, project.

Smith & Wesson Cam is a webcam of a Model 19. You can help its owner watch for signs of gun violence. Hehe.

Anne Hull at The Washington Post - Randy Weaver's Return From Ruby Ridge BugMeNot - a good article on Randy Weaver's life today with his new wife in Iowa. [grabbe]

It's hard to say who Weaver is now. The industry of rage and resentment makes certain demands upon him. He is a folk hero of ultra-right-wing groups. When asked about McVeigh's impending execution, he says almost reflexively, "There should be a bunch of federal agents lying right beside him on the gurney."

Randy Weaver and Family
Submitted by Julie (not verified) on Sat, 2006-05-20 14:18.

Having met Randy and Vicki when they lived in Cedar Falls, Iowa...I was a college student at UNI at the time, I came to know them quite well, enjoyed the time I spent with them and listened and learned a lot about their feelings, beliefs and values. I have to wake up and thank God every single day of my life for having put Randy and Vicki in my path. I grew up attending a Methodist Church with wonderful parents who had a deep love of the Lord and made it well known. I did not, however, grow up having heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the true scriptures regarding salvation through Jesus Christ. That is, until I met Randy and Vicki Weaver. I thank them for showing me the words I hadn't seen, I thank them for presenting it to me in a way that a wayward college student could and would understand, I thank them for taking the time to pray for me, I thank them for always being there in friendship and in faith, I thank them for believing and knowing the difference, I thank them for not believing in the falsehoods that plague our world, I thank them for not only believing, but standing for their beliefs in this world where folks can't and won't stand up for what they believe in, especially when it will result in the criticism and obvious resentment that it caused. I truly have and always will be thankful for having had them in my life for the period of time that I did. I pray for Randy and the girls well being and I know that their foundation of faith in Jesus Christ and taking only the Bible as Gospel will prevail when all else fails for them. I am sad for their loss, I pray that their loss means that others will have their eyes opened to what is and is not real. Randy, to many you will never be known as or thought of as a Hero. I know that deity and idol worship is truly not of God, but I do have to say that as far as I can call someone or something a Hero, it would be you and you know what I mean.

Love to you and yours always......Julie and Joey

I will happily forward a message if anyone who wants to contact James doesn't want to make their own contact details public. Post here that you want to contact him, and send contact information (email, telephone, or snail mail address) to bill at billstclair dot com. Then, hopefully, James will do likewise, and I can pass along the information.
