On Sunday a nice collection of new Amazing, Funny, Weird, and some Insane or Cruel links, all here for you ;)
Sunday links,
Marriage proposal in the cornfield
Man's marriage proposal is etched in a cornfield, the man used a year so it wasn’t an impulsive proposal I guess. Read the story and view the picture of that cornfield ;)
Intelligent design
Intelligent Design: Any movie with out-of-wedlock monkey intercourse has got the attention of a lot of people; this is a nice 3D animation ;)
Weight loss mowing
Weight loss plan: I'll mow your lawn for free. How a web posting started a media virus and gave a Coon Rapids man instant, unsought attention. It’s good he didn’t mow the cornfield above ;)
One handed bass player
One handed bass player. Amazing left hand technique; it’s a good example of what we can do with our handicaps, learn to live with them, respect for this musician ;)
Homeless farmer had to sell his robots
Homeless farmer forced to sell home-made robots. "I love to play with robots. The cleverer they became, the deeper the emotional link I felt to them; later, I began to call them my sons." I guess this farmer can find another job, he’s a talented technician ;)
Hiodilialiti

Summer sips
14 Summer Cocktail Recipes: Mojitos and martinis are so two years ago! This summer, set the trends -- and add sizzle to summer parties -- with these sexy and sumptuous cocktails and spiked punches. Yes the weather is good now we need the cool drinks too ;)
Dubai international airport
Dubai is the fastest growing city with - the world's only - 7-Star Hotel. I has the tallest building in the world being built. And Dubai has the world's largest airport being built too. Currently boasts an airport unmatched in the aviation world with variety. You can see where the money is, and guess where it comes from ;)
Meth missile
Kentucky man guilty in case of ‘meth’ missile that failed to fire; Missouri Highway Patrol trooper Tommy Wally pulled over the pair, opened the trunk of the red 1990 Ford Thunderbird and found the 4-foot-long cylindrical device stuffed with 2 pounds of "ice," or methamphetamine. I am afraid that more criminal suckers will try this way to smuggle drugs in the near future. I hope the law give them a big penalty I won’t see them again in society for a very long time ;(
My animated world
My Animated World: This Stop Motion Animation takes you into another world. In this world no physical laws count. The only laws that count are the laws of the Animator. Well done homework ;)
Police officer kills his son
Police officer killed his son as they played being gladiators.
Base jumping
As it cool as this might be to do it’s got to take some balls to actually stand on the side of a cliff and then jump off. Amazing how close these guys get to the side of the mountain on the way down.
Stickman madness
An awesome stickman shooting game; it's quite difficult. If you have trouble playing this game, turn down the quality by right clicking on the game ;)
Joey trying to talk French
The funniest clip I ever seen for Joey….he tried to learn the language, didn’t you see that girl…it was for her he did his best, ha ha ha ha ;)
Helicopter and plane collision
Takes someone with no brain as a pilot in a plane; to end up having this kind of crash…..He should never get a second chance to crash a plane ;(
People’s hands
How to play with your friends' hands ;)
Fast ball
Kid gets knocked out by a flying ball, poor kid
Drunken homeless guy auditions for American Idol
What a star!
Insane suicidal bridge jumping
"If you get caught jumping from this bridge, you are put on suicide watch." Sign this crazy lunatic up...5 times.
Helicopter pilots argue
Two pilots argue whether they can fit between two trees, and well you will just have to find out what happens! ;(
Public Chinese executions in the street
Step right up, and get your very own bullet in the back of the head. I'm not sure why this is happening, but maybe it's Chinese population control. This is probably footage from the past, but in some societies it’s a regular procedure to repress and put down the people. Now anyone in the street knows to keep their mouth shut, the power of the state is obvious, its pure and common political malpractice in totalitarian regimes ;(
Murderers beaten in Court
Relatives dishing out their own justice, and we understand all their reasons to do so, but it’s against the law. This shouldn’t be possible; the law has to protect the family and relatives for such an emotional act in court ;(
The Darfur Genocide
The genocide occurring in Darfur is lucky to make it on the back page of the newspaper under the used car ads, but what's happening there is real and devastating.

CALL TO BATTLE: LAUNCH ALL-OUT NONVIOLENT WAR IN JULY TO RESCUE DARFUR. Fast Day #8; Vigil Day #59 - A CONCRETE PROPOSAL
www.standwithdarfurwhitehouseii.blogspot.com
We are years, YEARS behind in stopping this Genocide; a tragic, inexcusable failure of will and humanity on our part. We must bring this to an end. Bashir's Genocide is exterminating 500 people per day, more than one 9/11 per week. We are giving crystal clear signals to Bashir that he has the time to exterminate, NOW, the remaining 3,000,000 people. Oxfam is pulling out, and the other aid groups are on the verge of following – too hostile on the ground. We are training ourselves to the "gradualism" that was Dr. King's greatest enemy and horror. We are fast depleting the energy that was so valiantly raised by so many of you by April 30th.
Nonviolent wars are not started with tricks and manipulation, emails, four hour demonstrations, letters or phone calls (although, brilliantly, the efforts by many of you thus far have set the stage). We can now win the war if we unleash the masses. Now. ALL-OUT NONVIOLENT WARS OF THE MASSES are ALWAYS STARTED by a small group of NONVIOLENT "MARINES", fully acting out their anguish, agony and horror at the suffering of others (In APPENDIX below: Gandhi in India, Civil Rights Movement...). When these "Marines" do so and sufficiently pay an honest price, it is an irresistible media spectacle. The radical self-sacrifice of these "Marines" ignites the hearts of the masses – possessing less vision, imagination and information. Here is the idea:
STAGE #1. IGNITE THE ALL-OUT NONVIOLENT WAR - DEPLOY THE NONVIOLENT "MARINES" to Rescue and Restore Darfur. Nonviolent campaigns need to be started by the few on the nonviolent side.
I pray that anyone that passionately wants to join will emulate the Gandhi/India campaign (APPENDIX) as follows:
We will begin a long, drawn out series of rolling arrests. Where? The White House. Alternate targets could be the Sudan Embassy, Chinese Embassy, Russian Embassy, United Nations in NYC, or one of the network headquarters for their profound non-coverage of Darfur. If it is the White House, this is not a protest aginst the White House, or President Bush. Why?
WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE PROBLEM AND THE ONLY SOLUTION. WE MUST DELIVER A MANDATE THAT 20-30,000 PEACEKEEPERS (preferably African Union and non-Western UN) BE ON THE GROUND IN DARFUR, BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, with sufficient empowerment/funding/support. With an unmistakable outcry from the masses, the administration and congress have given every sign that they will happily comply. They need a "win."
PHASE A: A minimum of 20 people are required for us to enter this phase. We need to dramatically demonstrate and HONESTLY EXPRESS the despair we feel over the agony of our Darfur family.
Every 3 hours (so it stretches over days) one of us nonviolently violates the rules at the White House President's Park so as to get arrested. The law is that for the first arrest there is likely to be a 12 hour or less holding period, a $50 fine, and then release.
Phase B. If by the end of this cycle of arrests (3 days elapsed?) we do NOT see the beginning-of-the-end of Hell for Darfur in sight the same group immediately goes through the process a 2nd time, knowing full well that 6 MONTHS IN PRISON may well be the price. This phase goes on until 1. all of us are in prison, OR, 2. the end of Hell for Darfur is assured.
Obviously numbers count for this initial action. If instead of the example of 20, it is 200 or 2,000 people, the impact goes up astronomically. Maybe "prison" will be avoided, but this CANNOT be our goal.
Those involved must fully accept responsibility for staying the course and make certain over the months and years ahead that US Imperialist Tendencies do not come to bear, and that we Rescue, AND Restore Darfur.
STAGE #2. THE MASSES OF NONVIOLENT WARRIORS BECOME ENGAGED, ORGANIZED AND DEPLOYED IN THE FIGHTING.
For every one of the initial "Marines" (just one riding alone across the battlefield in "Dances with Wolves"/100's walking into swinging clubs in Gandhi's India/100's facing the fire hoses down South - APPENDIX) the numbers multiply: 1,000, 10,000, 100,000. The masses become warriors too. National organizations (Africa Action, Save Darfur Coalition, STAND, Genocide Intervention) and other vehicles exist to register this 2nd tier of 100,000's, 1,000,000's of nonviolent fighters and to effectively utilize and deploy them; radically for the Save Darfur Coalition 9/17 event at the United Nations for example.
HOW TO ORGANIZE THE INITIAL STAND? Some thoughts:
Let's not care whose idea or what idea we implement. Instead, let us care that it is the best possible shot at raising the mass army THAT FIGHTS TO WIN, immediately. We must "be" the Truth Force that Gandhi so powerfully weilded. We must be the Truth of Darfur’s desperate need at the White House, at the United Nations, and wherever we go.
Got any ideas you think are good? Better? AWESOME! Contact me or tell me how to contact YOU! Want me to come and talk with you or your group? Want me to join and follow your group? Let's do it. Contact your friends, associates, acquaintances who might be interested.
Let's make this happen. We're killing time. Lets stop the Genocide This Summer, while there is life in Darfur to save.
Sincerely, Jay McGinley

Appendix: ADDITIONAL RATIONALE AND PERSPECTIVE
EXAMPLE: Do you remember the scene from "Gandhi" when for days, man after man after man walked headlong into swinging British clubs? Well, so did the millions of India, and the entire civilized world watch and remember, and ACT.
EXAMPLE: Do you remember the beginning scene from the movie "Dances With Wolves," when, impossibly, the hero rode across a Civil War field raging with gunfire, both sides behind stone walls, totally in stalemate? His insane ride miraculously shocked his side out of passivity and denial to follow him across the field and rout the opposition. (Yes, this was a violent war but it still illustrates the dynamic that radically committed leaders cause the masses to fight; no other way does it as well. Ever.)
EXAMPLE: Do you remember the TV images of the Civil Rights marchers getting fire-hosed, beaten, and attacked by Police Dogs then doing it all again? And how only then did the MILLIONS of US Citizens go to war? And, on, and on....
Harvard’s Samantha Power’s Pulitzer Prize winning Genocide study of the last 100 years presents a clear conclusion: “the battle to stop genocide has thus been repeatedly lost… [because] Americans outside the executive branch were largely mute….” From "Problem from Hell."
Isn't God/Goodness/Justice/Humanity/History asking us: "WHY DON’T YOU GO TO ALL-OUT NONVIOLENT WAR FOR YOUR FAMILY IN DARFUR?" We must start BEING THE ANSWER to this question by July’s end.
I am open to any appropriate way to go to nonviolent war as long as it equates to fighting to win and doing the very best that we can do.
