Contacts for Knight High School, Should You Choose to Voice Your Opinion

Thank you Professor Black Woman for bringing our attention to the proper folks.

Knight High School is the School in Palmdale where the young Black woman was attacked by a big fat white security guard which was caught on video (see "Whitey Is On The Job" post).

I am asking that everyone send in the official complaint form indicating this incident to both the high school and the school district fax. Please circulate this information including the story, the fax numbers, and the official school district complaint form. In your complaint you may also want to reference the Williams vs. State of California Case settled in 2004 section 2 which requires that all school districts provide “a safe environment” for education. The court case was originally about school disrepair and lack of books but of the three decisions made, section 2 clearly states “a safe environment” must be provided. When students are assaulted, especially after repeatedly complying with the requests made of them or in the process of documenting civil rights violations, and then arrested and charged for standing up for themselves the school district is clearly in violation of providing “a safe environment.”

New Photos

I have three new small series of photos on Pudgy Indian Photos blog. Click on any of the photos to take you there.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

A handful of folks in Lewiston, ID were arrested after not only beating an Indian girl, but after harassing her and her mother. They were often heard yelling "White Power."

Here is a photo of these folks. Click the photo for a link to the story.

Here is what cracks me up:

'“We haven’t been aware of any white supremacy groups in the area. I don’t believe there any here. I believe they are people who have come to community and decided to commit crimes,” Lewiston Police Lt. Tom Greene said.

This is the second hate crime to strike the small community in less than a month. In August, two men, one with a swastika tattoo, were arrested for shoving then chasing an African American man around the gas station parking lot.'

Okay, folks, this is Idaho, former home to the Aryan Brotherhood and many other white racist groups. Maybe it's true that these folks aren't "organized," as it were, but they are definitely present. These folks in the photo don't exactly look like brain-trusts. They may be smart, but I'm gonna put my money on stupid. And if stupidity and violence are the best things white folks have to offer the world, I would suggest you all look for some other cultural construct that might warrant some respect.

There is not much of a cultural difference in violence. I know of violent folks in pretty much all nationalities and all classes. Being violent isn't setting whitey apart from anyone. In fact, if violence is superiority, I'd have to say the Burmese Military is superior to these folks, and they aren't white. The U.S. military could be defined as "superior" in terms of violence as well, but they have yet to defeat a group of greatly lesser armed resistance and get them to submit to what is ultimately "whitey rule" in the middle east. Mind you, lots of non-whities in the U.S. military, which makes me think of "Operation Human Shield" form "South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut."

Whitey Is On the Job!

A young woman, 16-year-old Pleajhai Mervin, drops a piece of birthday cake at Knight High School in Palmdale, CA, and Whitey is on the job. As you can see in the photos, Whitey has jumped the young woman, even calling her "nappy head" which she didn't know was a RACIST term. Whitey even BREAKS HER WRIST! Turns out that Whitey was upset with Pleajhai because after her third time of cleaning up the cake off of the floor, it wasn't done to Whitey's liking, and therefore punishment had to be administered so the "nappy head" would remember her place.

Then, as you can see in the other photos, Whitey assaults the kids taking pictures and videos using their cell phones because WHITEY ALSO HATES WITNESSES TO THEIR CRIMES! and deals with them accordingly.

Now here is the great part:

"In an even more shocking development the security guards later had the mother of the girl arrested after she sought out an attorney and demanded that the guard be arrested, telling her that if she wanted the guard detained then she herself would also be charged with battery after she allegedly pushed the guard and an assistant principal of the school. She has also been suspended from her job at another school in the county."

from Info Wars

Let's see, a paid for profit Whitey, attacks a young black woman for dropping a piece of birthday cake at her high school and breaks her wrist. The young womans mother then, and rightly so, demands the arrest of said Whitey, only to be arrested herself and the high school IS COMPLICIT in her arrest. The mother has been suspended without pay from her job WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT!

What if the security guard were Black and the victims were white? What do you think would happen then?

People like to think racism is gone, because if they think that way, they won't have to face justice for the racism that actually is still rampant in this alleged nation. People of color know otherwise because this, like Jena and so many others, is not an isolated incident.

To the best of my knowledge, Whitey is STILL ON THE JOB protecting the floor from any other violations from, well, let's be honest here, ...from tiny young Black Women easily dominated by Whitey's horrific brutal mass.

Keep in mind, folks, people like these are in all of our high schools. And, I'm sure if there was an ACTUAL investigation into security firms specifically in high schools, let alone the rest of them, I think you may just find that these folks OFTEN ABUSE THEIR AUTHORITY, and just like the Catholic Church loves covering for pedophiles, I'm sure the various school districts will cover for these folks like they are doing for these Whitey's right now.

She also Shusli's blog. See also the following post about Blackwater, which, I'm told, on board some ships, "blackwater" refers to used toilet water.

P.S. I forgot to metion this, also from the Info Wars article:

"The school expelled Pleajhai for five days before then having her arrested for battery and for littering (the dropping of the cake). Then they had the pupil who captured the video arrested along with his sister who was merely present at the scene."

Murdering MIddle Easterners Is Profitable!

Imagine a person walks into a croded mall, opens fire with an automatic weapon, kills maybe a dozen people or so. Would you award that person a mall security contract?

http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/09/29/4206/

Turns out if you murder Middle Easterners, strike terror into the hearts of Middle Easterners, commit torture and rape of Middle Easterners, you could make MILLIONS, just like Blackwater.

One thing that strikes me as odd and nonsensical is that folks think this is unusual for the United States to be so criminal and murderous. When one really studies history, one realizes that the U.S. has been like that since the beginning. I think it is time it is stopped, and under the current conditions, I think it will wind up dying of a heart attack on its own. Co-King George has been good for something, I guess. I didn't have to be this way, but that brutal genocidal maniac has brought it to this poing.

A Couple of Wedding Photos

Here are two photos from our wedding.

The top is Shusli (Rhonda) and I, the bottom is the wedding party. From L to R:

David Lichtenstein, Lisa Loving, Sheila (Shusli's best friend), Me, Shusli, and Shusli's daughter Rachel.

We did not get pictures of the actual ceremony because it involved a loaded pipe. Leas Averill is responsible for these two. Thank you Leas.

Don't forget, folks, you are all invited to our reception at Liberty Hall, 311 N Ivy St., Portland, Oregon on Sunday, October 7, from 1-5pm. See you then, if not sooner.

Somtimes I'm Just Filled With Hate

I was talking with my friend, Blackfoot Solicitor General James Craven, yesterday morning. I told him I had heard about the approximate $2 billion payout by the Canadian government for its role in the genocide of the Indians in their illegally occupied territories.

He told me of how my adoptive Blackfoot dad accepted the payout because he is so poor. Part of the reason he is so poor is because of illegal confiscation of his livestock by the illegal occupational government currently known as Canada. He, of course, was coerced into signing a document stating there will be no future litigations coming from him, otherwise he doesn't get the money. You see, just like the illegal occupiers to the South, Canada refuses to take responsibility for their actions. Why should they?! They have the military might to force impoverished nations (impoverished by the Canadian government) to do what they want them to or pay the price.

I have talked with my daughter, Felicia about taking responsibility for her actions. She's done some stupid and mean (though not realizing how mean it was at the time of her actions) things. She blamed others. I made sure she learned that it was not others who are responsible for the actions or inactions she has taken, it is hers, and she had to fix them!

The illegal government in the occupied territories of Canada doesn't want to take responsibility because taking the responsibility and facing actual justice for GENOCIDE is a pretty big thing. Afterall, Nazi's were hanged for the crime and some of them did absolutely no killing.

Jim also told me of a woman who was raped and tortured for 7 years by the Church of Canada. 7 YEARS! She was given $10,000 dollars for her torture and repeated rapes as a child by good christian folks. But wait, it wound up being $3,000 because they lawyers had to get their cut.

You know...sometimes I am just filled with hate...give me a reason not to be...

...Arnold Sylvester, who attended Kuper Island school between 1939 and 1945, corroborates this account.

“The priests dug up the secret gravesite in a real hurry around 1972, when the school closed. No-one was allowed to watch them dig up those remains. I think it’s because that was a specially secret graveyard where the bodies of the pregnant girls were buried. Some of the girls who got pregnant from the priests were actually killed because they threatened to talk. They were sometimes shipped out and sometimes just disappeared. We weren’t allowed to talk about this.” (Testimony of Arnold Sylvester to Kevin Annett, Duncan, BC, August 13, 1998).

Judicial Findings From The Inter-Tribal Tribunal on Residential Schools in Canada
(Held June 12-14 in Vancouver, B.C.)

Submitted by James M. Craven, Tribunal Judge

( c Copyright James M. Craven July 14, 1998, All Rights Reserved)

“You Can Recognize a Red Indian by His [or Her] Way of Life, Not by His [or Her] BloodPercentage.” Chief Lame Deer, Lakota

Some Principles and Concepts of Aboriginal Life and Law Guiding My Inquiry and Findings:
1. TRUTH, JUSTICE, HEALING, RECONCILIATION AND PREVENTION OF FUTURE
ABUSES: THE FOCUS OF INQUIRY, JUDGMENT and DISPOSITION:
“Probably one of the most serious gaps in the system is the different perception of wrongdoing and how to treat it. In the non-Indian community, committing a crime seems to mean that the individual is a ‘bad person’ and therefore must be punished...The Indian communities view a wrongdoing as ‘a misbehavior which requires teaching or an illness which requires healing.’“(Justice proposal by Sandy Lake First Nation (Oji-Cree) quoted in Ross, 1996, p.
5)

“Peacemaking is generally not as concerned with distributive justice or ‘rough and wild justice’ (revenge, punishment, control, determining who is right) as it is
with ‘sacred justice’. Sacred justice is that way of handling disagreements that helps mend relationships and provides solutions. It deals with the underlying causes of the disagreement...’Sacred justice is found when the importance of restoring understanding and balance to relationships has been acknowledged. A peacemaking process tends to be viewed as a ‘guiding process’, relationshiphealing’ journey to assist people in returning to harmony.” (Quoted in Ross, 1996, p. 27)

Starwalker and Yeti

While at KBOO doing phone shifts, I got a call shortly before noon from Shusli telling me that Suzette, Eli's girlfriend, had miscarried. Suzette had a dream message sent to her, a kind of premonition, that I won't detail here.

Shusli's son, Eli, and his girlfriend, Suzette, are...well...I guess I don't really have to explain, but they are grief stricken.

I got up this morning at 1:30am, to find Rhonda still awake and the above piece of art in honor of our little grandson who decided not to join us, Starwalker, and our kitty, Yeti.

I don't want to write anymore about this.

Yeti Passed Away on the Harvest Moon, Super Moon 9-26-07

Yeti, our great and glorious spirit kitty has passed away. Shusli has written a wonderful poem for the crazy creature on her blog.

Shusli told me one of the kitties had peed in my laundry basket. She also told me Yeti had seen someone walking down the street and ran to the fence to get some attention earlier.

After reading blogs and checking e-mails, I grabbed my laundry basket and headed for the hose where Yeti was laying. Yeti had a habit of just flopping wherever he danmed well pleased, so this didn't surprise me until I saw a fly on his face and he wasn't moving.

We had a beautiful ceremony for his huge carcass and buried him in the back yard.

This was one of my favorite pics of the guy, shortly after he was shaved. Rhonda and I were thinking of giving him back to the HS because of the massive amounts of hair and kitty litter all over. I called the day she was to take him back and she no longer wanted to. I said we'd be putting up with hair and a dirty floor, so she took him and had him shaved. According to the groomer, he was an 8 and a scale of 10 for cats who fight being shaved. However, he soon liked the new do and started cleaning himself and soon was bringing us cabbage leaves and rose petals.

We have many good stories about this crazy cat. He chose to leave us on the eve of the Harvest Moon, a Super Moon, whatever that is.

We went for a walk, sung and danced under the moon in the city of Portland, came home and our door was open. I immediately headed in and started checking rooms when Alia came running out of one, then another black cat came running out of another.

Life is pretty weird today!

Catching Up on the Insanity

First, I would like to say it is good that there was no terrorist act in the U.S. It is not good that there probably were in other countries this time that Shusli and I have been getting married and such. Catching up on the insanity since our marriage this last weekend has been quite the OVERWHELMING chore.

Rhonda has been given a new name, as stated in a previous post. Her name is Shusli Cedutna, Spring Thunder. It was given to her by her family at the Agnes Powwow at the spot where the CCC forced her grandfather to take a bulldozer and push the sweat houses from the land and into Foster Creek.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was in the states recently, and causing quite a stir, well, being part of an orchestrated stir in the drumbeat for using any excuse to slaughter the Iranian populace for King Dick and co-King Georege, the Genocidal Duo, and their corporate owners. I really think it is funny how people are getting worked up about his stance on gays in his nation...HELLO! STUPID FUCKING AMERICANS! SINCE WHEN HAS ANY U.S. PRESIDENT GIVEN A SHIT ABOUT GAYS IN THIS NATION!? The leadership in this nation still considers gays to be immoral. HELLO! Jesus fuck! Going to war with Iran over their stance on gays would be like how the U.S. used Afghanistan's treatment of women as an excuse to kill a large number of them and others...AND NOTHING HAS FUCKING CHANGED! Jesus fuck! How'd y'all get so FUCKING STUPID!?

OK...Nike has made a shoe specifically designed for Indians. You see, I guess Phil...OK, let me give you a little background on how I feel about Phil Knight before I proceed:

A couple of Catholic activists went to Indonesia to try to get a job in one of Phil's factories. Unable to do so, they decided to live in the slums of the factory workers on the same wages they were getting. I believe the man lost 32 pounds and almost died once, the woman lost 26 pounds. We could call this "The Phil Knight Diet." Armed with this information, Phil Knight REFUSED to see them or discuss their findings with them. Can you say COLD HEARTED SON OF A BITCH! ...I knew that you could.

Nike folks looked at the feet of some 200 Indian folks (Mixed bloods, full bloods, who are these Indian folks) and designed this shoe (please google search this article, the link is way too long). Seems Nike is concerned about the rampant obesity problem in Indian communities, kinda like they are concerned about the conditions of their workers. They allegedly are concerned about Indian health. And the shoe wholesales for $42.80 which means it will cost probably well over $100 and will be sold exclusively to Indians with some of the proceeds going to help Native Health Programs.

You ever been to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation? Folks there are so poor they are starving at the end of every month. It isn't because they aren't pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, it's because the American Government has its boot on the throat of their economy and FORCES them to live in poverty. Do you think they're gonna be able to afford this STUPID FUCKING SHOE! The only Indian folks gonna be able to afford this shoe will be Tribal Council Folks.

Here is my theory as to why Indians are so fat these days. The U.S. government in order to beat us into the ground and more, destroyed and continues to destroy the foods we ate traditionally. This is called Genocide (article 2c). In the initial stages of our full on oppression, Indians were often starved. Foods sent to keep us alive were often stolen by non-Indian Indian Agents. There was no oversight because, like usual, the U.S. government wants us to die off and thus solve their "persistent Indian problem." Under the psychological conditions of genocide when starvation is used as a tool, it becomes somewhat genetic to want to hoard, usually hoarding within ones own body when one has plenty to eat, like nowadays. Add into this that the U.S. designed a forced diet for us Indians of commodities, foods high in fat and low in nutrition.

Depression also leads to poor health choices, and aint a whole lot more depressing than having suffered at the genocidal hands of the U.S. government.

What Indians could use as far as health goes is:

GET THE U.S. BOOT OFF THE NECK OF OUR ECONOMIES SO WE CAN HAVE REAL SOVEREIGNTY!

Put some nutritional food in them commodities.

Fund dietician programs on the rez as well as train Indians to be dieticians.

Shit like that would help, but it AINT GONNA HAPPEN.

So you see...Ain't no fuckin' shoe gonna help with the Indian obesity problem, especially an unaffordable thing created by Phil Knight in sweat shops in Indonesia and elsewhere.

Oh, by the way, there are more military exercises coming up in October. Keep your heads up, King Dick really wants a terrorist attack excuse to get folks behind a genocidal attack on Iran so he can steal their resources also. However, if they can't find a kinda legitmate excuse, they'll make one up. Like maybe "Mahmoud doesn't respect the rights of gays, therefore we have to slaughter as many Iranian civilians as possible to show our displeasure. And while we're at it...Might as well steal their resources also!

Woodpecker

Shusli and I got ready late in the day on Saturday and we arrived at the Yoncalla sundance grounds at dark. We set up our tent and got all the stuff into it thinking it may rain. However, the clouds cleared off and it got extremely cold that night. Made us wonder how the folks on the hill were doing.

When we greeted Tim, our officiator, the next morning, we saw a bird fly across camp. That bird was a woodpecker. Tim mentioned to Rhonda that he knew the woodpecker was sacred to her people, which made Rhonda beam with the fact that he knew this.

Rhonda and I drove back to the freeway and set up paperplate signs for folks to get to the place.

When we got back, Bernie was off of the hill, if I remember the time sequences correctly, and I'm not sure that I do. Let's see if I can do the math correctly. Tim is married to Gogi and Bernie is one of her sons. I had met Bernie before, but was unaware that he was Gogi's son.

We were asked for the things we prepared for our altar, and off I headed back to the freeway to guide in Rhonda's daughter, Rachel. On the way out, I noticed that all of our signs had been taken down, but not only that, I noticed one sign had been set up to misdirect folks away from our wedding. I guided Rachel all the way to camp then drove back to find any folks who may have followed the sign when I noticed Roxanna pulling off of the freeway. I got her and her kids and Felicia directed to camp and noticed that not only was their one sign misdirecting, but the fella who did that took the rest of our signs to misdirect folks even further. I took them all down and drove around to see if I could find anyone who was lost, but did not. This angered me quite a bit as we expected a few folks from Portland besides my sister. It's one thing to take down the signs, but pretty mean to misdirect folks as well.

Back at camp, I found not only my sister and family, but also found Lisa Loving, David Lichtenstein, and their kids, James and Lela. Leas Averill and his son Brian were there as well. Ernie and Erica came down from Portland as well. As I was greeting and making sure everyone out of town made it OK, we were called to load the pipe. After the pipe was loaded, Rhonda and the women who wanted to went into the sweat. I got myself ready to sweat and David Lichtenstein volunteered to sweat with us. It was me, Tim, and David, and the first time David sweated in a ceremonial fashion. I really appreciated David coming in there with us.

Tim asked me to think of Rhonda and I, old, a few less teeth, completely gray hair, wrinkled skin, still holding hands and looking into each others eyes with the Love we feel for each other now. This was not at all difficult for me, as I have been doing that off and on for quite awhile already.

Coming out, I found Rhonda and her best friend Sheila getting ready for the wedding in our tent. Soze you all know, we are not superstitious about seeing each other before the wedding, and we even helped each other get ready. I chose Lisa and David to be my witnesses, Rhonda chose her daughter Rachel, and her best friend Sheila. Everyone was told to go to the Sundance arbor and the wedding parties headed down there shortly there after.

Our altar was set up in the arbor, our colored sticks set up in the four directions, the big sticks set up with our flags in the four directions, a buffalo robe with cedar pointing to the four directions.

We stood on the robe as Tim passed on our instructions. We were married with the pipe and our feather. Tim wrapped our blanket around us, "Coyote and the Huckleberry Sisters." Lots of crying was going on. During the ceremony, however, we could hear the woodpecker call as well as poking holes into a tree. After the ceremony, the wedding party sat around and smoked the pipe, and off we went a feasting.

Rhonda had prepared much wonderful food; several pans of lasagna, buffalo, squash, salads, wonderful pies and a cobbler, etc. As well as the camp had their food to add into the whole feast. Lisa Loving brought some cupcakes, and all was good in the world. We were greeted with much Love from all the folks present.

We then did our giveaway, giving special gifts to a few people, and then laying out many items on a blanket for others to enjoy. It took a while for them all to be nabbed up.

At ceremonies, we don't ask for presents, we do giveaways as a sign of appreciation to those who came to partake in the ceremony or bear witness.

So, Shusli and I had our ceremony on a Sundance grounds, in the arbor, with four folks still on the hill and one who came down and bore witness, with groups of friends who drove down from Portland and Shusli's daughter, Rachel, on a buffalo robe used to cut and pierce the dancers, with the sacred Woodpecker there to bear witness. Folks...there is NO adequate way to describe our most beautiful union ceremony.

Here I wish to give great praise to a few folks. First, Tim Labato, who performed the ceremony for us and is a long time friend to the Fry family, Shusli's family. They met many years ago when he was asked to do the crossing over ceremony for her grandfather. Tim and I met at the Hornsbrook Sundance, the last Sundance that Martin High Bear officiated, where Tim was the man who cut me. We didn't see each other again for another 11 years, shortly after Rhonda and I first met, at our first Tipi meeting together (where we were often cuddling under the same blanket). Later, we talked and I found out that Tim was the man who cut me all those years ago.

Gogi, Tim's wife, I met more recently. This woman is so awesome. I don't know how to explain her presence more than that. She is always laughing and filled with humor and Love for her fellow human beings.

Lisa Loving! When I became homeless for a day (I still had a job, just no home to speak of), Lisa Loving volunteered her home for me to live in. We had known each other for years via KBOO and I had always admired her work. Suddenly, without knowing me all too well, she invites me to live with her and David and their kids. It was a wonderful experience. When Shusli and I needed our own spaces for a bit, Lisa immediately opened her door for me to live there again, and again, without question. She helped me through many a rough spot, and David and their kids are absolutely wonderful folks. If you don't know them, you should.

Leas and Brian are also KBOO folks. Leas was the publisher for my one and only book of poetry. It did my heart well to see this man, who is ALWAYS busy, much busier than me, to take the time out of his busy life to come to our ceremony. Thank you Leas and Brian.

It was really good to see Bernie again. I had forgotten that he and Andrew don't live all that far from us. All of the above folks, and more, Shusli and I plan on creating closer relationships with in the years that pass.

Felicia and Rachel, our daughters. Felicia is an awesome young not quite a woman. Although her and I have started butting heads recently, she is one awesome kid. Rachel and her boyfriend, Louis, may wind up living with us for a while. I have always admired Rhonda's...Shusli's kids. Rachel is full of life and it is great to see her happy in a relationship that is obviously beautiful. I hope they don't mind the squeaking floor at horrific hours as I'm getting ready for work!

I thank Woodpecker for coming around and sharing its blessing on our union.

I really want to say that I Love Shusli so much that you all can't imagine. I have Loved her for so long and each day it seems our Love is growing. We make a great Revolutionary team together. She is kind and Loving and FIERCE in her fighting for what she knows is right. And, as on into the future of our old age, we hold hands, look into each others eyes, and share an expression of Love that I pray all of you get to experience if you don't already.

Many blessings to you all, and yes, the words on this blog will again be throwing stones into the fight for what I know to be right! as well as sharing the Beauty that is so easily found in the world as well.

REVOLUTION BE WITH YOU!

Photos

I have photos up on my other blog. Click one of these two super hot photos and get transferred to the others. It was done in 2 parts with 21 pictures in each, 42 pictures in all. I'm gonna be late for work, but this was well worth it.

Not Much Time

I haven't had much time since being back to write nor to post some of the pictures I would love to get on my photos blog. I just haven't had time.

Rhonda and I are still getting ready for the wedding and tonight, a friend of mine will be taking me out for a pint.

Our experiences this weekend at the powwow were amazing. See Rhonda's post on her blog. We sill most likely be working with some of her relatives on pulling this particular tiny powwow together next year. There are some politics to be dealt with and peace to be made, but it will indeed all work out well, I can tell already.

On "Mitakuye Oyasin," we play a piece by performance artist, Robert Greygrass, where he plays a man, Tyee John. The battle he talks about with the empire 150 years ago took place where we had the powwow. Rhonda and I went to the trenches, where the soldiers were pushed back to. She told me of the man who was lowered down the cliff who ran to get reinforcements. They overtook the Indians and put them on their death march. That mans name was Foster, and his name is attached to the creek where we camped. What is it with you Americans and your blood lust and you SICK Love for genocidal maniacs?

"Run to the Rogue," is like a reverse trail of tears put on by the Siletz every year. We went to where they ended that and talked with a few folks. One woman was describing how during the American Forced Death March, that people were not allowed to look back or they would be killed. Your kid fell, you couldn't look back because they would kill you.

Another woman told us of how the Indians were kept on an island in the ocean for weeks in hopes that they would die, but instead, they killed seals on the other side and drank their blood and sustained their lives.

Rhonda talks of how Indians, her folks, were held in open pens at Port Orford for weeks, again, in hopes that they would just die off and thus solve Americas "persistent Indian problem" ("Jewish question" to the Nazi's).

I must say it was nice being out where there is no artificial lights. It has been years. I Love the dark. You can really see the stars. I really Love being with Rhonda, and we grew more together during this time.

Being back in the city is frustrating and angering and we may be moving soon if Shusli Chudutna gets a job she has been interviewing for. In that case, we will be living between both our ancestral homelands, the Rogue River and the Umpqua River.

One thing kept occurring to me over and over during our journey and since. I have been told many times to "just get over it," "it," being, of course, the horrific genocide of my peoples. I don't believe people know what they are asking. So, I have a tendency to ask them, "Get over what?" I have YET to find an asshole that asks me that question who is willing or knowledgeable enough to answer that. What they are REALLY saying is, "I don't want to have to pay for the crimes my ancestors committed or their crimes that I am currently benefitting from that they committed, which is also a crime. I just want you to accept all these crimes as the situation you are forced to live under now and I don't want you to have justice because that may effect me and what I possess that is stolen from you or others." Another thing folks say is to "get over" our "victim mentality." Why would we feel like victims? If we're victims, who is the perceived perpetrator? What did this perpetrator do for us to think we are victims?

You see, I have a long list from 10-12-1492 to the present and on into the future. None of the folks that say "get over it" or "stop playing the victim" are even capable nor willing to tell me one of those things on the list. They are only concerned about themselves and the crimes they benefit from or perpetuate against our Indian peoples. Get over it? Howz about some FUCKING JUSTICE?! We are DEMANDING IT!

Apologies

Sorry I haven't written anything here lately. Been busier than heck. I was gonna post a few pictures the other day, but my program disappeared from the screen, so maybe after I get that figured out. I haven't forgotten about you all. May all be well, and RHONDA AND I ARE GETTING MARRIED THIS WEEKEND!

WOO-HOO!

ELI'S HOME

Eli and Suzette have spent the night. I didn't get a photo of Suzette because she wasn't here yet before I had to hit the sack. We will all be heading to the powwow this weekend in Agnes Oregon. Hope to see you there. We have someone checking in on the cats. I probably won't read nor catch up on this thing until at the earliest, Tuesday. See you all then, and thanks for your support.




PS don't forget to keep a heads up for a possible terrorist attack, Friday, 9-14. A massive U.S. Airforce stand down will be happening with King Dick at the helm. I'm not saying one will actually happen, just saying keep your heads up. King Dick and co-King George, the Genocidal Duo, really want a war with Iran and need an excuse to do so.

Talk to you all when we get back, and no doubt will have many photos of the powwow and such to share.

Makah Show, 9-13

"Mitakuye Oyasin," the Makah Whaling show, went off pretty damned well.

In order of appearance, we have: Arrigon Starr, John Talley (not at mic), Rhonda Baseler, David Liberty, Louis Sosa (not at mic), Richard Ullum (engineer), and Me. Hopefully Stella's picture showed up, but as I'm writing this thing, the technology isn't behaving.

My favorite parts of the show where Stella and her boyfriend talking about the Makah whaling from Makah and Tulalip points of view.

However, someone called in and asked that we have a point of view from the alleged environmental side. As David Liberty was quick to point out, we are the environmentalists. It wasn't us that have made the whales and salmon almost extinct. I stated that I would never have Paul Watson on my show, as the caller suggested. I hate the rotten bastard. I said I would have one of his crew members if they are allowed to talk. Well, a former crew member called. He wasn't against the Makah whaling either. He said he agreed with my assessment of the megalomaniac, Paul Watson. He said Paul Watson is a heavy self-promoter.

As well, the great Maire Cullen called in and expressed her point of view as well as gave us an important 9-11 rememberance message as it has been 358 years since Cromwell slaughtered every man, woman, child, and beast, within the walls of the town of Drogheda in Ireland.

Many thanks to the great Rhonda for getting Stella and Matt for the show.

Many thanks to Arrigon Starr, an extraordinary talent, for singing for Stella and Matt and promoting her show and redoing a song for the Makah folks.

Thanks to all who listened and who support KBOO.

I couldn't get Stella's photo on here, so go to Rhonda's blog, if you wouldn't mind.
