Trump and Company -- Anyone Believing the Rich have Our Backs is Beyond Any Re-education Camp I Can Set up in the Woods
...they are not just seeing us as useless, but they treat us like feedlot fodder, filling us up with roadkill, poisonous chemicals and data, and general junk until the slaughter house -- slow death
The good old days, with this good old boy, fourth-generation cattleman, feedlot practitioner: Almost 20 years ago, my article, and then a documentary a decade old, and we are fucked.
Cattle: Around 1.5 billion cattle are raised worldwide.
Pigs: There are roughly 1 billion pigs on the planet.
Chickens: The number of chickens is significantly higher, estimated at around 26 billion.
Cowboy Critic
"Hello, my name is Howard Lyman and I am a recovering meat eater ... dairy consumer ... factory farmer." Something for an Oprah show? Dr. Phil's forte?
The Oprah reference is an accurate one for Lyman, the former operator of a super-industrialized livestock lot and dairy farm, now author (Mad Cowboy and No More Bull, both co-written with Glen Merzer) and advocate of vegetarianism, animal rights and stewardship of the land through sustainable agriculture. It was during an April 1996 Oprah show that the fourth-generation Montana cattleman -- now living in Ellensburg -- "let the cattle out of the bag" by confronting a spokesman for the National Cattleman's Beef Association about the practice of feeding vegetarian ruminants their own kind. He suggests that the practice is a bizarre cannibalistic ritual set upon the industrialized meat-raising system to satisfy greed and the bottom line.
On the show, Lyman asserted that he and thousands of other cattle operators had been feeding their herds dead cows -- downer cows put down because of cancer, viral diseases, genetic anomalies and mysterious neurological ailments -- mixed with parts from butchered cows, including pulverized cow manure.
The proverbial cow pie hit the fan when it was acknowledged that this practice had rendered America's beef supply susceptible to Mad Cow disease (BSE, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy), which had already taken its toll in the United Kingdom just a year earlier. Lyman, known as the "Mad Cowboy" or the "Vegan Rancher," continues to speak out about abuses in industrial dairy and beef operations like the one he ran outside Great Falls, Mont.
Lyman saw the light after more than 20 years of using road-kill and slaughtered cows as ground-up feed. After hundreds of gallons of antibiotics. After daily chemical fogs to douse flies -- the No. 2 bane of feedlot operators "after bovine diseases in their various forms." In the feedlot business, that pesky fly takes a toll on huge operations because of all those cattle unnaturally crammed into one small space.
"With every cow in a pen producing 25 pounds of manure in a day," Lyman says, "the flies can get so thick that they actually threaten a cow's ability to breathe."
"Better farming through chemistry" was Lyman's mantra before his transformation, so he attacked the insect problem on an industrial scale.
"Early in the morning I would fill up a fly fogger with insecticide and spray great clouds of it over the whole operation," Lyman writes in his book. "The insecticide would of course fall into the feed and the water of the cattle, as well as on the trees and the grass and the crops."
To Oprah -- and Court
Lyman's story hinges on his early years working with his grandfather and father.
"At 8 or 9 I began milking cows and branding calves," he writes. "At 10 I learned how to castrate calves. At harvest time, I'd work long past dark cutting the grain. I'd rake hay and stack it, and I learned to drive a tractor and a team of horses. I worked every day of the year but two: July 4th and Christmas."
Then he went off to college, leaving the 540-acre spread to his father and cancer-stricken older brother.
At the College of Agriculture at Montana State, Lyman was thrown into classes taught by chemists and academicians "without an hour's worth of real farming experience among them." It was the dawn of pesticides, herbicides, hormones and antibiotics.
In the early 1960s, his father was barely making ends meet; Lyman was going to take over the family business only if he could employ Big Ag's bag of tricks. "My father had no choice," he says. "He handed over the farm. But as he shook my hand on the deal, he had a few short words for me. He told me I was wrong."
Eventually, Lyman saw the big picture when he scooped up that fourth-generation Lyman farm dirt and found it to be a lifeless, oily smelling, grey media for all the chemicals.
Jump ahead 20 years and picture Lyman in the Chicago studio of Harpo Productions. The audience is aghast at the commentary this ex-rancher is giving. Oprah and her brethren are freaked out by the prospect of that mad cow prion in the food supply, ready to attack humans -- as it was doing in England.
Two months later Oprah, Harpo Productions and Lyman were hit with a "food disparagement" suit by Paul Engler, a Texas feedlot operator, and other Texas cattlemen as plaintiffs.
In 1998, Oprah, her production company, lawyers and Howard Lyman ended up in Amarillo, the first individuals sued under the Texas Food Disparagement Act. Her show went on, from Amarillo.
On Feb. 26, 1998, the jury found in favor of Lyman and Winfrey. No disparagement of beef. No damages levied.
Hold the Beef
Lazy R Ranch cattleman Maurice Robinette gets a kick out of Lyman's claim to fame: "You have to hand it to him ... he's really found an interesting niche -- vegetarian cattle rancher." Robinette's a third-generation Cheney cattleman with several university degrees who sees a future in responsible and sustainable cattle ranching. He runs 80 pairs of cattle and another 100 yearlings out of his Cheney operation. He also is Eastern Washington's coordinator for the Washington Sustainable Food and Farming Network.
Robinette -- who heads up Spokane's Sustainable Agriculture Leadership Team, which helps local, small farmers -- is battling against industrial farming, genetically modified crops, the huge bio-tech and ag giants, and the practice of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs).
The reformed Lyman tips his hat to men like Lazy R's owner for raising beef the old-fashioned way -- grass-fed, with no hormones or antibiotics applied, in a manner that protects the soil and abates the impacts on the entire ecosystem.
Oh, the readers who think ice core science and wetlands biology and wave energy research and coral reef bleaching reports and heating atmosphere studies and shifting jet streams analyses and weakening of ocean currents articles, and deforestation and desertification essays, all of that research is motivated by some fucking George Soros and World Economic Forum goddamned conspiracy to stop growth and to turn us into compliant Soylent Green eaters.
So, that Exxon conspiracy?
A comprehensive, peer-reviewed academic study of ExxonMobil’s internal deliberations, scientific research and public rhetoric over the decades has confirmed empirically that the oil giant misled the public about what it knew about climate change and the risks posed by fossil fuel emissions, the authors said on Tuesday.
The paper confirms the findings of a 2015 investigative series by InsideClimate News that was based largely on the company’s internal records, and also of independent work published by the Los Angeles Times. That reporting ignited investigations by state attorneys general that are still in litigation.
“On the question of whether ExxonMobil misled non-scientific audiences about climate science, our analysis supports the conclusion that it did,” Geoffrey Supran and Naomi Oreskes of Harvard University wrote in the study, published today in the scientific journal Environmental Research Letters.
Across the board, the paper found “a systematic discrepancy between what ExxonMobil’s scientists and executives discussed about climate change privately and in academic circles and what it presented to the general public,” the authors said.
“ExxonMobil contributed quietly to the science and loudly to raising doubts about it,” they wrote.
The authors explicitly rejected Exxon’s main defense, which was to claim that journalists were “cherry picking” the company’s record and that its positions had always been in step with the state of the science. The company often said that anyone who read the full documentary record would see matters Exxon’s way.
The Harvard researchers said their task was to accept Exxon’s challenge to review the full record. Among the documents they examined were dozens cited in ICN’s work, as well as more than 50 scientific papers Exxon frequently mentioned in its own defense and its issue advertising.
Supran and Oreskes called their conclusions “an expansive, quantitative, independent corroboration of the findings of investigative journalists.”
In an interview, Supran said the evidence was unambiguous.
The authors reviewed 187 public and internal Exxon documents over the past four decades, including many that were brought to light by ICN’s reporting.
In one finding, they judged that 83 percent of peer-reviewed papers written by company scientists and 80 percent of the company’s internal communications acknowledged that climate change is real and caused by humans. But among Exxon’s advertisements on the editorial pages of The New York Times, a proxy for communications aimed at a broad public audience, only 12 percent acknowledged climate change as real and human-caused, while 81 percent expressed doubt.
Yep, these people, who actually are well informed but organized in a ruckus society kind of way, they are the protestors.
Do you see protestors doing the same thing — gluing hands to cars, defiling stupid fucking paintings in the Smithsonian, burning tires on roads, throwing rotting tomatoes at senators’ and congress people’s townhouses and cars?
Yeah, all those climate change derangement fucks, man, all over Substack, etc. It’s amazing how they believe oil and coal and natural gas are king. We are of course hooked, but we also are being led down the death march of millionaires and billionaires and your local blue collar pukes and your statewide white collar Eichmanns determining the dirty air, water, soil, food, products and media in your small community, or large one.
You like this fucking headline, then, climate change deniers?
Climate Chage Deniers, Rejoice:
You can’t have your Wheaties without eating Atrazine, man:
Glyphosate exposures in food and in the environment need much more scrutiny, according to a group of 20 doctors and scientists who put their concerns in writing last month:
“Should the public be assured of the safety of glyphosate? We think not…” the group wrote. “We urge the public not to be duped by chemical company apologists who attempt to obscure independent scientific findings that threaten a highly profitable product.”
In 2015, the World Health Organization confirmed that glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller, is a probable human carcinogen, based on strong evidence linking it to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Since then, 140,000 glyphosate-exposed cancer victims have filed lawsuits against Bayer. The company is expected to pay $16 billion in jury awards and settlements by the time all the cases have been adjudicated.
Cancer is just one risk of glyphosate contamination.
Recent research from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health shows that childhood exposure to glyphosate is linked to liver inflammation and metabolic disorder in early adulthood, which could lead to liver cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease later in life.
Glyphosate was found in 99 percent of pregnant Midwestern women tested by the Indiana University School of Medicine between 2013 and 2016. Higher maternal glyphosate levels in the first trimester were associated with lower birth weights and higher NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) admissions.
Sure, those climate change deniers just love their fucking masters below:
The toxicity, management, politics, economics and governance of pesticides are interrelated, with compounding detrimental impacts that require thorough analysis. According to Pesticide Action Network,
" Aſter World War II, chemical companies needed a market for wartime inventions and pesticides were put to work in the fields. In the decades that followed, trade and development policy — coupled with savvy marketing by chemical companies — effectively developed an entire model of industrial agriculture."

An Original Nations’ Examination of “Freedom,” “Human” and “Human Rights”
By : Steven Newcomb August 14, 2023
In our view, the claim of a right of domination, and the behaviors that follow from that claim, are the main cause of the global problems we all face. This is why opposition to that claim is a potentially unifying theme for homo sapiens.
This essay reveals why, from an Original Nations’ Perspective, the term “human,” in the Greco-Roman-Judeo-Christian sense, as traced to the Vatican papal bulls of the fifteenth century, means “living under domination,” which in turn changes our understanding of the term “freedom.” We will explain why the international framework of human rights is not designed to liberate Peoples from the claim of a right of domination.
Peoples who were labeled and categorized as “barbarous,” “infidel,” “heathen,” “pagan,” and “savage” by the ancient political powers of Western Christendom, are still being labeled and categorized in that manner by the present-day successors of those political powers. It’s a tradition held together by means of, for example, active Supreme Court precedents that have those labels and categories embedded in them.[3] Those labels and categories are rooted in the past and ongoing in the present.
Domination has been defined as “living under the arbitrary will of another, [or] having to conform one’s actions to a will external to one’s own.”[4] This essay will explain that the claim of a right of domination is a hidden dimension of the terms “barbarous” and “human.” We have identified this covert dimension by studying fifteenth century Vatican papal bulls that labeled our non-christian Peoples “barbarous” and called for the oppression (“deprimantur,” in Latin) of our Original Nations and Peoples.
An Original Nations’ Examination of “Freedom,” “Human” and “Human Rights” By : Steven Newcomb August 14, 2023
Listen now, climate change deniers.

‘One of the gravest threats we face’
Let’s start first with the “biodefense” rationale—which as bioweapons expert Sam Husseini explains, is just a euphemism for biowarfare:
“Governments that participate in such biological weapon research generally distinguish between ‘biowarfare’ and ‘biodefense,’ as if to paint such ‘defense’ programs as necessary. But this is rhetorical sleight-of-hand; the two concepts are largely indistinguishable. ‘Biodefense’ implies tacit biowarfare, breeding more dangerous pathogens for the alleged purpose of finding a way to fight them. While this work appears to have succeeded in creating deadly and infectious agents, including deadlier flu strains, such ‘defense’ research is impotent in its ability to defend us from this pandemic.”
Since the technology was developed, genetic engineering has played a central role in U.S. and international biowarfare.
Michael J. Ainscough, in a 2002 paper titled: “Next Generation Bioweapons: The Technology of Genetic Engineering Applied to Biowarfare and Bioterrorism,” wrote that the “history of warfare and the history of disease are unquestionably interwoven.”
Ainscough, a medical doctor, Air Force flight surgeon and one-time diplomat of the American Preventive Medicine in Aerospace Medicine, argued that “organisms with altered characteristics are the ‘next generation’ of biological weapons:
“In this century, it is widely predicted that advances in biology and biotechnology will revolutionize society and life as we know it. At the same time, [this technology], which can be used to create biological weapons, will be one of the gravest threats we will face.”
Genetic engineering technology has evolved since Ainscough wrote on the subject two decades ago. Today, scientists warn that the newer gene-editing and synthetic biology technologies pose even greater risks in the realm of biowarfare.
Toby Ord, senior research fellow at Oxford University’s Future of Humanity Institute, told GM Watch that the risks posed by these newer gene editing technologies are among “the highest existential threats we face.” As GM Watch reports:
"Ord’s concerns about gene editing being used to genetically modify a pathogen are shared by the U.S. intelligence community. In fact, in 2016, the technique was added to the list of ‘weapons of mass destruction and proliferation’ by the top U.S. intelligence official for this very reason. The late Stephen Hawking also thought the genetic engineering of viruses had created the risk of a lethal ‘own goal.’ And by ‘lethal’ he meant not just as deadly as the current pandemic, but something that could make the planet completely uninhabitable for humans."
‘Research that panics people, without actually learning much—if anything’
The other rationale for gain-of-function research, “biomedical” research, sounds less nefarious. But it ranks low on both the plausibility and ethics scales.
In 2017, after learning that the Trump administration had lifted the “pause” on gain-of-function research that had been instituted under Obama (in 2014), Marc Lipstich, an epidemiologist who directs the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at the Harvard School of Public Health, spoke out.
Lipsitch told the New York Times that recent gain-of-function experiments “have given us some modest scientific knowledge and done almost nothing to improve our preparedness for pandemics, and yet risked creating an accidental pandemic.”
In a recent interview with Organic Consumers Association, Jonathan Latham, who has a PhD in virology and directs the Bioscience Resource Project, said this about the risks vs. the benefits of gain-of-function research:
“You've shown that you can make a pandemic-type virus in the lab. But on a global scale, it is potentially disastrous but a scientifically trivial demonstration. These people are doing research that panics people, without actually learning much—if anything.”
So why create a “pandemic-type virus” in a lab, if the risks far outweigh the benefits?
The public-facing rationale, Latham suggests, is this: By creating highly transmissible, potentially deadly (on a massive scale) viruses in a lab, researchers can study how to respond should such a virus ever evolve in nature and infect humans.
But Latham rejects that argument. Why? Because it involves a whole lot of guessing about how a virus might evolve in nature:
“People can say they've made a pandemic virus in a particular set of cells, that's their scientific finding, and that's what they publish. But the natural world doesn't say that it has to evolve in those kinds of cells. It could come from a different species via another backbone, with a different spike. Are they going to do these experiments forever? Creating pandemic viruses, simply to generate research funds?”
And that, suggests Latham—the prospect of landing huge government grants—is the primary motivation for most gain-of-function research. Even though that research could potentially wipe out a huge percentage of the human race, in return for little if any benefit.
‘Hundreds of accidents, safety violations and near-misses’
The risks scientists assign to gain-of-function research are grounded in facts, not speculation. Labs, including in the U.S. and China, have poor track records when it comes to ensuring that potentially lethal, genetically engineered viruses won’t escape.
“Inside America’s Secretive Biolabs,” an investigative report published in May 2015 by USA Today, revealed reports of hundreds of accidents, safety violations and near-misses at biosafety labs—and that was just in the U.S. (In April of this year, the Washington Post reported on memos relating to safety lapses at the Wuhan Virology Lab, in Wuhan, China, the lab where COVID-19 was most likely created).
A follow-up USA Today news report on biolab safety issues, published in June 2016, prophetically likened the combination of risky gain-of-function research and lax safety measures to a “screenplay for a disaster movie.”
In October 2019, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health published the Global Health Security Index, which warned of the “increased potential threat of accidental or deliberate release of a deadly engineered pathogen, which could cause even greater harm than a naturally occurring Pandemic.”
The report also concluded, prophetically, that most countries, including the U.S., are woefully ill-prepared to address pandemics.
Scientists sounded alarms, years before COVID-19
In July, 2014, 327 international scientists signed a consensus statement calling for a moratorium on gain-of-function research, or what the group called “Potential Pandemic Pathogens.”
Citing biolab safety lapses, the Cambridge Working Group wrote:
“For any experiment, the expected net benefits should outweigh the risks. Experiments involving the creation of potential pandemic pathogens should be curtailed until there has been a quantitative, objective and credible assessment of the risks, potential benefits, and opportunities for risk mitigation, as well as comparison against safer experimental approaches.”
The Obama Administration took note, and in October 2014, shut down all U.S. funding for new gain-of-function research pending a thorough risks-benefits analysis.
But some gain-of-function research projects already in progress were allowed to continue. And then in December 2017, under the Trump Administration, the National Institutes of Health lifted the moratorium, paving the way for U.S. taxpayers to once again fund research that some scientists believe poses an existential threat to life on earth.
‘Exquisitely designed to infect humans’
Despite widespread efforts to convince a concerned public that COVID-19 occurred naturally, jumping from a bat, perhaps through a pangolin, eventually to humans, that narrative doesn’t withstand the scrutiny of scientists who have been studying, and opposing, gain-of-function research for decades.
Even the Chinese government has now admitted that COVID-19 did not arise from the Seafood Market in Wuhan, China.
In May, a team of Australian scientists studied COVID-19 and concluded that the virus targets humans more potently than any of the tested animal species. The study’s lead author, Nikolai Petrovsky, told one media outlet that COVID-19 is “exquisitely adapted to infect humans."
GM Watch recently reported that Rutgers University Professor Richard Ebright, a biosecurity expert who has been speaking out on biosafety issues for nearly 20 years, suspects an accidental lab release led to the COVId-19 pandemic.
Stuart Newman, professor of cell biology and anatomy at New York Medical College in Valhalla, New York and co-author of Biotech Juggernaut, referred GM Watch to papers going back 20 years on engineering coronaviruses. Newman told GM Watch:
“Even most biologists are not aware that virologists have been experimentally recombining and genetically modifying coronaviruses for more than a decade to study their mechanisms of pathogenicity.”
Given the evidence, given the warnings, given that the risks far outweigh the benefits and given the urgency, all governments should immediately shut down gain-of-function experiments.
Not just Jews Working on Military testing:
Sewage in Palestine?
The JDAM bombs include precision-guided 1,000 and 2,000-pound “bunker-busters.”
“It turns earth to liquid,” said Marc Garlasco, a former Pentagon defense official and a war crimes investigator for the U.N. “It pancakes entire buildings.”
Washington has donated 100 BLU-109 bombs to Israel that are meant to penetrate hardened structures before exploding, the report said.
The 2,000-pound BLU-109 bomb was specifically designed to kill civilians by penetrating hardened targets below the ground where families may be taking cover. A delayed-action fuse detonates the 550 pounds of high explosive tritonal, ensuring complete destruction of the location.
Tritonal
Tritonal is made up mostly of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, known as TNT. It accounts for a large portion of the explosives-related contamination in Gaza. TNT presents various health and environmental concerns. Potential symptoms of exposure may include irritation of the skin and mucous membrane, liver damage, jaundice, cyanosis, peripheral neuropathy, muscle pain, kidney damage, cataract, dermatitis, leukocytosis, anemia and cardiac irregularities. (NIOSH 2016)
The most likely routes of exposure to TNT are from drinking contaminated water or skin contact with contaminated surface water or soil. Potential exposure to TNT also occurs through inhalation, or by eating crops grown in contaminated soil (ATSDR 1995) The European Chemicals Agency, ECHA says this substance may cause cancer, is suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child, and is suspected of causing genetic defects.
General Dynamics has made fantastic profits peddling this deathly substance. The company employs more than 100,000 people worldwide and generated $42.3 Billion in revenue in 2023, more than the annual gross national income of most nations on earth. (115 nations.)
A kind of false circular reasoning holds that manufacturing weapons for use in Israel by Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin and others is good for the American economy. Actually, the weapons are provided to Israel at U.S taxpayer expense while the product of the munitions adds nothing of positive value, like building hospitals or rebuilding crumbling infrastructure in the U.S. or Gaza.
The explosive compound RDX helped make America a superpower. Now, it’s poisoning the world’s water and soil. ProPublica
The explosive charge in many conventional bombs often consists of RDX. Gazans may be exposed if they breathe RDX fumes from explosions. People may also be exposed to RDX by drinking contaminated water or by touching contaminated soil. RDX is associated with Liver Injury, Edema, Anemia, Hemosiderosis and Spinal Diseases.
The Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Kingsport, Tennessee. This ammunition plant is the only remaining manufacturer of RDX in the United States, and for years dumped as much as 68 pounds of RDX directly into the Holston River each day.
A combine harvests corn grown on the former Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant near Grand Island, Nebraska. Chemicals from decades of operations at the plant contaminated the groundwater beneath it, spreading all the way to the taps of residents of Grand Island.
Dennis Mudloff, now 64, worked on the grounds of the former Cornhusker Ammunition Plant for twenty years, drinking from well water near the site of the old explosives building. Mudloff’s doctors say his numerous neurological and other health problems are likely caused by his exposure to the explosive RDX in drinking water.
This from 2017. We are cooked, climate change deniers.
Although Syria has long complained of Israel’s use of Napalm, we don’t have evidence of its use in Gaza, although we know the Israelis are using White Phosphorus, another frightening incendiary weapon. It is extremely toxic to humans.
Gazans are exposed to white phosphorus by breathing in air that contains the chemical or by swallowing water or food contaminated with it. White Phosphorus is a chemical made from phosphate rocks. Manufacturers use white phosphorus to make products like bombs, computer chips and rat poison. It’s a brave new world.
White phosphorus bombs can cause injuries that are more serious and harder to treat than injuries from conventional bombs. White phosphorus causes very painful burns. People have reported seeing smoke coming from their injury as the white phosphorus continues to burn in their skin. It’s evil. Because white phosphorus dissolves easily in fat, it is absorbed through the skin and into the body, where it can cause damage to the kidneys. liver, and heart.
As Nada Majdalani explained, Gaza is entering its rainy season. Rainwater washout of bomb sites contaminates nearby waterways, their sediment, and the aquatic life people consume.
Pesticides
Israel has a history of spraying heavy doses of pesticides along the buffer zones with Gaza to deprive potential ‘terror elements’ of cover, but farmers in Gaza say their crops and livelihoods are damaged.
We saw Israel’s lax enforcement regarding PFAS and brominated fire retardants, so it is not surprising that the nation is swimming in pesticides. Environmental and Health agencies designed to protect public health are instead subservient to the corporate national security state.
The use of pesticides and insecticides in Israeli agriculture is among the highest in the world, another factoid for the BDS folks. The most contaminated fruits and vegetables are: apples, leafy vegetables, wheat, barley, strawberries and grapes.
It’s not surprising that Israel also has among the highest rates of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the world. Israeli children are widely exposed to organophosphate pesticides.
There aren’t any grownups in the Israeli room. We are witnessing the maturing of a rabid fascist state. Israel is leading the way to a new world order! Addressing the rise of the far-right in America, Noam Chomsky explains,
“The ground is well prepared for the rise of neofascism to fill the void left by unremitting class war and capitulation of the mainstream political institutions that might have combatted the plague.”
For tens of thousands of years, our Original Nation ancestors lived truly free here on this Turtle Island continent (“North America” ) with our own unique languages, values, and Sacred Responsibilities to care for our homelands. Our Ancestors used their free existence to evolve for us, their future generations, systems of Spiritual Understanding, Knowledge, and Wisdom. They were able to maintain a deep relationship with and an abiding appreciation for all Life, especially the Waters of Life, without which nothing can live. Our songs and ceremonies, our stories, our agricultural practices are all directed toward the accentuation and furtherance of Life.
However, centuries of unrestrained domination, which Christian Europeans call a “human” existence, have culminated in the waters of Mother Earth and our own bloodstreams being poisoned by carcinogenic and neurologically destructive toxic chemicals. The effect of this toxicity on the mind also needs to be taken into account. All this has happened as a result of a “human” economics of unbridled militarism, corporate gluttony, and greed.
The ecosystems of the planet have been horrifically impacted, while poverty and abuse have proliferated everywhere. The suffering caused by poverty and degradation is contrasted with a massive accumulation of wealth and power by the masters of the domination system. The wealthy and the powerful create the appearance of “green,” “healthy,” and “democratic” solutions, which are measures that merely reinforce the existing patterns of militarism, colonization, authoritarianism, and suppression.
During the past five centuries, the vast majority of the original old growth forests on this Turtle Island continent (“North America” ), which our ancestors nurtured, have been cut down, along with much of the rainforests to the South. Massive numbers of species have been wiped out. Genocide—the intention to destroy, in whole or in part, an entire nation or people—was committed against the Buffalo Nation, and against our Original Nations throughout this Western Hemisphere.
