Call for Participation by Dr David Schemberger:
.....TO ALL OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN THIS WORLD.....
....as many of you know i was recently dying of end stage 5 kidney failure due to a congenital polycystic kidney disease which began when i was 20 yrs. old....last november i prepared myself for death and was ready to let the river of life wash over me until some family (particularly my eldest grandson who flew 6000 miles on army special leave to say good bye) and friends gathered and convinced me not to let go because i had more love to give and more life to live
...at that moment my toxic uremic brain cloud cleared enough that i called and arranged an emergency dialysis cannula put into my subclavian vein and dialysis began at breakneck speed...i started to revive within 3 days ...my brush with death was over
...now nine months later on dialysis i have regained 60% of life’s function and am contented with that....so now i ask myself what do i do with my second chance at life...my brush with death taught me what life is really about and i have no fear of death so i can live freely and speak truth
...and the truth is that every american who does not support the 100 native indian tribal nations gathering at standing rock in some significant way is a hypocrite and a coward.....after 300 years of genocide and persecution and debasement and stealing back more land of these indigenous people we are back at it again...big oil corporate attack mercenaries and attack dogs from texass going after indigenous children, women and men just as they did 300 years ago when our government just killed them straight out
....we call ourselves civilized when our government allows these big oil corporate attacks on peaceful protectors of water rights on tribal nations land....our government gives half its financial budget (500 billion dollars) to the military industrial complex that kills millions of people around the world creating havoc throughout a multitude of sovereign nations....how psychopathic is that...our government is sick to its very core and must be stopped...the irony is that 4000 descendants of massacred indigenous tribes are now uniting at standing rock to protect us all from corporate and government atrocities and greed
....i was blessed with a deadly disease that our government pays under medicare 100% to give my life an extension that may go on for years if i stay on dialysis every other day...i thank them for that program...we are also blessed for a destitute indigenous people that still have the soul, spiritual character and courage to take on our massive government and its corporations on foot and by horseback...putting their lives on the line for us all
....rise up and stand up with them....that’s what i will be doing...i am planning to depart milwaukee for standing rock in our community garden school’s 2000 chevy blazer on sun. sept. 18th at 3am and hopefully returning sept. 19..one way is 800 miles and takes 12 hrs. drive time and 40 gal. gas...i am asking everyone i know, family and friends, to send any supplies and/or money no matter how small to take with me...toothpaste, soap, toilet paper and dollars..a list of their needs are posted on facebook
....my father was born to Romanian parents and raised in north dakota…as a teenager he helped the sick and infirm by giving them transportation in his horse and buggy....for me this is an inspired pilgrimage ...to show solidarity from wisconsin for the true americans who have not yet been slaughtered...i invite anyone who wants to caravan on this mission
....for further info and discussion contact me at drdave4health@gmail.com or cell 414-303-4796..or come by....829 E Clarke..riverwest community garden school.
....what these tribal nations are facing is all over FB....including jill stein’s (green party presidental candidate) and amy goodman’s (democracy now) visits to standing rock.
....our nation is founded on the killing and raping of indians and killing, enslavement and raping of Africans and the raping of the environment...we owe our comforts to them both...we owe reparations not further domination and intimidation.
....please stand with me to stand with them....we desperately need your help for those on the front lines against an evil, inhumane and insane govt. out of control....further posts will be forthcoming from me as they develop...i will be having a sale of everything i own to raise money for this mission...come by the above address to see what you need.
...love and blessings....dd
