Because of the Kennewick Man case, Rep. Doc Hastings has introduced legislation that further strengthens scientific claims to indigenous remains at the expense of indigenous rights to have our ancestors graves NOT raped.

ALLEGATIONS OF SCIENCE

So here, I will give a brief history of the alleged science of archaeology as well as the history of the Kennewick Man case with some details often left out of the major media.

Archaeology started out in the U.S. in the 1800's as a science called "phrenology," the study of human skulls. The idea was to prove the superiority of the white race over all others by studying the size and shapes of skulls but especially the super sized brain capacity of white folks over the rest of us inferior races. It didn't quite work out, but eventually evolved into the alleged science currently called "archaeology."

Another great archaeological discovery that is commonly accepted deals with demographics. After years of reducing the numbers of the pre-Columbian populations, a scientist by the name of Kroeber in the early 1900's came to the conclusion that there were less than a million Indians in North America in 1492. How did he come to this commonly accepted conclusion amongst scientists today? [The official number has been raised to around 2 million only because of the protestations of indigenous folks.] Because he said there simply could not have been more than a million here in 1492. That's it. No crunching of numbers. No sustainability studies. In fact, no studies at all. It was simply concluded by a white man with a Ph.D. and therefore it must be true. I have a book around the house here somewhere that states the official number at around 980,000 and is very specific, like 982,236. If I could find it, I would give the exact number, but it is pretty odd how they came to such a SPECIFIC number. Scientists! I tell ya! [You can read further details about the alleged science behind the demographics in, "A Little Matter of Genocide," by Ward Churchill.]

"SITE REPORT! WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING SITE REPORT"

Fast forward to the 1996. A couple of audience members at a boat race on the Columbia near Kennewick, Washington find a skull. After the race the notified the authorities and along comes James Chatters, the man who proclaims himself the discoverer of Kennewick Man.

After removing at least one set of remains, Chatters went to the Corps of Engineers for a permit, and was issued a permit retroactively...A FELONY. The permit process usually involves a 30 day grace period in which burial sites are looked up in a secret ledger (to prevent "pot humters" from stealing indigenous ancestral remains). Then, if it is a reasonable request, it is presented to the tribes of the area for approval. NONE OF THIS WAS DONE!

Chatters dug up at least 5 other sets of remains, three beyond the pervue of his illegal permit, each counting as a felony. Some of these remains, known graves of around 200 years old, were in close proximity to the Kennewick Man remains which were found on or near the banks of the Columbia.

I'm sure you've all seen pictures or even dramatic portrayals of an archaeological dig. The site gets gridded. Many details are presented. Everything is carefully dug and catalogued for future evidence. Many photos and drawings are made. The site is carefully dug up. All of this is presented to the proper authorities by REQUIREMENTS of the issuance of an archaeological permit. The report that is presented is called a "site report." Should this report not be made, it is a FELONY! Alleged scientist James Chatters has NEVER to this day presented a site report as required by his illegal permit.

RADIO-CARBON DATING

Chatters found a stone point too old to be stuck in a leg bone of his find. It seemed too old of a style, so he had his illegal find radio-carbon dated. The results came back as 9300 years old. Now here is the tricky part, and folks who believe in science like a religion get angry at me when I bring up the fact that NO SCIENCE WAS DONE AT THE SITE.

There is supposed to be evidence that would help in supporting a radio-carbon dating report. This evidence would come from the site report, showing which layers of earth the bones came from, placement, other cultural implements, etc. But there is no site report. There is no evidence that is supposed to be gathered at the site that supports the radio-carbon dating range.

According to I believe "Scientific American" and quoted in Vine Deloria, Jr.'s excellent work on the fallacy of the alleged science of archaeology, "Red Earth, White Lies," radio-carbon dating is highly inaccurate. It did things like date a freshly killed seal at 600 years and a living tree at some 10,000 years. Why did this happen? Because when there are higher levels of carbon and or radiation present within the site, the dating process can be thrown off. Now here is an interesting point. The bones were near the surface of the earth. The site was near the banks of the Columbia River where there was a boat race going on. A boat race where carbon is shot out the tail pipes of gas engines. The site is also down river from a leaky nuclear reservation known as Hanford. There were, obviously, higher levels of carbon and radiation at the site.

According to David Liberty, co-host of "Mitakuye Oyasin" radio program on KBOO and former Ph.D. candidate in archaeology/anthropology at the University of Oregon studying under Bonnichsen, lead alleged scientist in the Kennewick Man case, if Chatters was a smoker and handled those bones with his bare hands, that would have thrown off the radio-carbon dating. Besides, "there is no real way to 'prove' radio-carbon dating as accurate." [David resigned his Ph.D. candidacy during the Kennewick Man case because of the racism involved.]

Armed with this information, I confronted Chatters at a lecture he gave on the book he wrote about what a great alleged scientist he is for stumbling across Kennewick Man. I asked him about the accuracy of radio-carbon dating. It is "highly accurate," he told me. How does he know this? Why, he is a white man with a Ph.D., and the words flowed from his lips, therefore, it must be true.

KENNEWICK MAN WAS [NOT] WHITE

Now James, using his great scientific mind, came initially to the conclusion that Kennewick Man was not indigenous considering ONLY the shape and size of the skull. So, AGAIN, using his great scientific mind, he came to the initial conclusion that Kennewick Man was white. What scientific method did he use to come to this conclusion? He was watching "Star Trek: Next Generation," saw Patrick Stewart, and realized, "there's my Kennewick Man." I wish I was kidding.

Thus began the long and drwan out argument that Kennewick Man was white and that the Indians who were "here second" thus slaughtered out their far superior white brothers and originally stole the land from whitey. Ask the Asatru Folk Assembly, they'll tell ya.

In my opinion, all of this happens for a reason, but I will discuss that at the end of this post.

In a discussion with David Liberty on "Mitakuye Oyasin," I cornered him on the subject of phrenology and the racism of the alleged science of archaeology. David told me a few rather interesting facts, again not brought up in the scientific community. In order to have a specific scientifically based study on the race of skulls, one has to have a rather large amount of skulls to come to any form of conclusion. The amount seems to be lacking in this case.

As well, David gave me a rather interesting statement, one that I quote frequently: "The skull shape and size varies more within the group than within the groups." In other words, there will be a greater variance in skull shape and size amongst the Umatilla Indians than say, amongst the Umatilla, Navajo, Mohawk, Blacks, Whites, Jews, etc. Think about it, folks.

DOC HASTINGS CREATES A NEW LAW

Recently, Rep. Doc Hastings has introduced legislation that will give a stronger grip to scientists right to study the remains of our ancestors while not making them give them back to the folks they rightly belong to. This, of course, based on the Kennewick Man case which is a pretty piss poor case of alleged science if you ask me. Why do you think that would be? Money?

There is a lot of grant money being tossed about in academia. Thousands, sometimes hudnreds of thousands of dollars change hands so folks like, say, Bonnichsen can make a study on the remains of an indigenous ancestor using some seriously faulted science and breaking many laws already in place.

Not to mention that this sort of thing can turn on some seriously sexy co-eds to professors who like them "young and ...." and probably couldn't get a date any other way.

THE COLLUSION CONCLUSION

As we have all learned about the media recently, they have a way of, say, NOT REALLY DOING THEIR JOB. As you may have noticed if you followed any of this case that there is no investigation by reporters into such issues as the felonious lack of a site-report. Nor is there any investigation into the alleged science of archaeology. Why do you think that is?

Well, IN MY OPINION, The U.S. government knows that it is guilty of the crime of genocide, as well as many other crimes against indigenous folks, that it must justify its actions by using what is commonly accepted as scientific fact.

So, white men with Ph.D.'s declare that Indians have only been here between 11,000 and 26,000 years (the 26...added only by political pressure, not scientific fact). They have declared that Indians are immigrants, and therefore, this somehow makes it PC to have committed genocide to steal their land for the wealth of white folks.

Now, since reporters REFUSE to do their job and investigate this case, as they are not SUPPOSED to upset the status quo, an alleged congressman has now introduced legislation that will again help white men in their dominance of indigenous folks.

My suggestion to you all, since reporters who are paid to do investigation but don't because they are more concerned with their career than upsetting the status quo, that you all do a little research yourself. You will see that this type of racist behavior even using science is quite common in the United States. You may just start to question everything these folks do, even alleged scientists. And the status quo can't have that! It may just start to upset their status quo!

The photos I wanted to post here I have been unable to find. They are of the invasion of East Timor by the Philippines in 1975. One is of soldiers with the heads of East Timorese which they severed and took a few trophy photos. The other was more horrifying to me. It was of the paratroopers being launched out of a plane. I couldn't find any of them on the internet, so I won't be posting any photos, especially of Suharto.

On Democracy Now, January 28, 2008, Amy Goodman did an in depth special on this whore to the U.S. empire and genocidal criminal who passed away with military honors, living a long and successful life, and having been responsible, I heard on the show, of some 1,000,000 lives not to mention the oppression of millions more.

Suharto's name goes down with other genocidal criminals who lived long and successful lives without ever facing prosecution: Richard Milhouse Nixon, Ronald Reagan, etc. I, for one loud mouthed asshole, fail to appreciate such things.

Here are the names of some of the genocidal criminals who will live long and successful lives despite the death and destruction they have caused throughout the world:

George Walker Bush
George Herbert Walker Bush
Dan Quayle
Albert Gore, Jr.
William Jefferson Clinton
Madeline Albright
Condeleeza Rice
Paul Wolfowitz
Paul Bremmer
Donald Rumsfeld
Robert McNamara
Henry Kissinger

So, if you will add names of current genocidal criminals slated to live long and successful lives despite the lives they participated in destroying, please add them in the comments section.

If you have links to the photos that I was seeking, it would be much appreciated, I would really like to get them up.

One last question, why the fuck do we allow these genocidal criminals to walk this earth?

One last thing: My friend Jim Craven is listed in "Who's Who in the World." He has tried to get himself delisted on several occasions without success because he doesn't want his name mentioned in the same book as that genocidal criminal, Henry Kissinger, as well as others.
