Is your fire extinguisher charged? Is it large enough to put out a fire the size of the room it’s in?
They have a rating system a.b.c. and d indicating which types of fire they a best suited for.
Periodically remove flammable materials or fuels from your shops and dwellings.
Class A ordinary combustibles.
For residential purposes the bigger the fire extinguisher the better.
Class B solvents, oil, grease, gas
Class C electrical or energized fires. Class D is for flammable metals.
There may be a valve on the back or side of an old fire extinguisher where you can recharge them with air. Some can be disassembled and filled with water or a mixture of water and baking soda. Videos on youtube may give further insight into how to do this.
Politicized: The illegal colony commonly known as the u.s is collapsing economically due to its own exploitive nature. The dollar will be worthless as soon as gold rises 4 more points. They started WW3 to attempt to use a war time economy to bounce back because all it has really developed despite taking our immense lands and resources is a military industrial complex as opposed to workshops and factories. Indigenous people are losing their lives at an accelerated rate worldwide. Powerful organizations have not been developed because colonized people are their own biggest obstacle, and they are choosing to boycott their own liberation struggles. Because of this anarchism which is really just a form of liberalism that boosts the empire is the dominant political grouping. I won’t validate it by calling it an ideology. Anarchists’ tactics are essentially dumpster fires. Half of them must be agent provocateurs. All that being said they vastly outnumber benevolent collectivists such as I.S.R For this reason, you definitely should prepare your fire extinguishers. You may need to defend yourselves and if you have weapons but no fire extinguisher i must say your priorities are skewed.
Introduction: For decades those of us who have been paying attention have told others that that an economy based off of exploitation and environmental degradation is unsustainable. Never before have we seen the contradiction of colonialism so heightened. Literally billions of lives are at risk due to climate catastrophe and global conflict both of which are caused by colonialism. Those who are informed understand that a famine is coming to Turtle Island and its already began. Colonizers have outsourced food production, inflicted poverty and artificial food scarcity. Rice crops in asia who have supplemented us have failed or been significantly smaller than usual.
Supply Chain: Westerners which subsequently includes colonized people living in the western hemisphere have been consuming food shipped from far off places such as India. It should go without saying that growing pickles in India and shipping them by sea and packaging them in Missouri and trucking them to the west coast for example is probably as far from a sustainable practice as one can get.
History: People survived WW2 and the great depression by growing gardens. This element is weak in the modern political climate. The masses are more engaged in celebrity culture and seem to be waiting for Kevin Gates or Keanu Reeves to save them. If the masses had any principle at all they would be engaged in growing their own food. Even with land restrictions people could be growing potatoes in buckets instead of crying about conditions and boycotting their own liberation.
Potatoes: Potatoes are easy to grow. The main attraction is the high calories and easy to store. Potatoes are indigenous to the western hemisphere and were hybridized centuries ago in Peru where there are 180 varieties. Even the potatoes in the Irish potato famine were actually from Peru. Potatoes may have shown up in Europe as early as the 13oo’s.
Sweet Potato: Unlike regular potatoes where the foliage is not safe to eat the foliage of the sweet potato is edible making this a top survival food.
Kale: Kale will grow throughout most of the seasons on temperate areas. It is a dependable survival crop. Once established it is easy to continue by letting some of it go to seed and perpetuating its cycles. More nutrients than calories.
Swiss Chard: Swiss chard contains betane the same compound found in beets. Its seeds are easy to propagate. It is dependable survival crop and performs similarly to kale.
Beans: Beans are another top survival food. Some can be dried and stored for a very long time. They contain a good source of calories. People who have had long lives are said to have eaten beans.
Cabbage: Cabbage can be eaten in soups or raw. Try to find heirloom varieties. Easy to grow. Prices on food are rising, grow your own.
Corn: Corn is indigenous to the western hemisphere. It can be dried and stored. It has calories as well as nutrients. Definitely seek out heirloom strains. Corn needs to be properly spaced and requires plenty of water.
Squash: Squash is able to store for a significant length of time without refrigeration which is important for survival food. It contains calories and nutrients. It has seeds that are easy for beginners to work with. The seeds are also edible and many aid in the removal of intestinal parasites in humans and livestock.
Lentils: People have been reported to have lived on lentils for extended periods of time. Some places the lentil is the main staple of the diet.
Herbs: Herbs are for flavor but also have medicinal value. They can help turn basic upgrade cheap foods such as rice and increase their value in your diet. Many herbs taken for granted have anti-viral, and anti bacterial properties such as oregano and thyme.
If you’re not in an organization the least, you could do is be growing food to lessen the impact of the inevitable collapse of western society including colonized and indigenous peoples trapped within the occupying colony. If you are not growing food you are in dereliction of duty.
Introduction: Multiple theories are speculating. One possible cause of the uprising could be that both humans and orca both eat the blue fin tuna. It’s possible that Gladis (Blanca Gladis or White Gladiator) a female whale was injured by fishing nets or a boat collision and was traumatized by it. In response Gladis started ramming boats. She figured out that the rudders and steering mechanisms on boats could sometimes be broken. Some boats have actually been disabled or sunk. Orcas are one of the smartest creatures on earth and have a larger brain to body ratio than humans. Gladis is doing what humans are reluctant to do which is organize. She taught the behavior to other whales, and they have been attacking boats in teams. Orca in the area are critically endangered and number 40 or less. Orca globally are stressed and seem to have an increase of incidents of them attacking several shark species and other whale species including sperm whales, pilot whales, beluga and humpback!
“According to Monika Wieland Shields, co-founder and director of the Orca Behavior Institute, orcas are culturally dialectical, and there’s only one orca culture that is bringing down ships. This particular orca culture has likely been heavily affected by fishing boats in the region, but has incorporated playing with ship rudders as a sport rather than revenge. While I can’t speak for Monika, I can say it makes sense for hyper intelligent aquatic species like dolphins and orcas to deal a poetic justice to some humans in the form of sport hunting. They’re supposedly not trying to kill people… Yet.
Around the time we wrote this another yacht was sank and extremely wealthy people were killed. Its impossible to know if orcas played a role.
Colonialism is at odds with human life and the earth in its entirety. It has been discovered that orcas are sinking yachts. All life is telling us to stop destroying our planet. I’m sure marine life is feeling the earth reach global boiling temperatures. We talk about revolution not as a choice but a science and a necessity. The resurrection of indigenous governance can save this earth as they lived with the earth instead of against it. How many more signs do we need that change is necessary? You cannot eat money and western civilization will learn this either way. The marine life incidents is a perfect example of what happens when we live outside our means.
We must do our part to decolonize our minds and hearts, our lives and ultimately our communities. Eventually we will decolonize the seas and life on earth will be able to balance out again.”
Politicized:
Orca are demonstrating organization. This is the main take away. Organization is critical for orca, they have not succumbed to western individualism.
2. The orca interacting with the yacht at least appear to have class consciousness and their target selection is superb. The greater left could benefit from emulating those traits. They play catchup to the orca.
3. Join I.S.R if wildlife conservation, and biology from an anticolonial perspective is something that resonates with you. Help build an essential apparatus for sustained decolonization. Help build the fledgling pan indigenous government to be more than a dream. We are nothing without the masses. We aint shit without you.
4. We want to dedicate this blog post to Captain Paul Watson who is being held in Finland for extradition to Japan for defending whales in the wild.

Story: A young wolf has been killed brutally. A man ran down and crushed a wolf pup then taped its mouth shut and took her to display at a local bar while she was still alive. Hope, which is the name that has been given to the 9-month-old female wolf was filmed while being tortured and dropped clots of blood on the floor. The video and pictures were shown online.
Politicized: This is the same ongoing violence by a colonial society. One that leaves a trail of extinction behind it wherever it goes. These issues will not be resolved without full revolution and the rise to power of the anticolonial pan indigenous government. This has been stated by us before, but this is yet another example you might see this time. The pan indigenous government would build its own courts to give people truly fair trials. We would be able to legalize our violence in response to these issues for the first time under indigenous rule. Similarly to the Egyptians who believed cats are sacred and punished people who killed them unnecessarily with death; we would be able to enforce our wildlife laws in this manner if needed. Punishment may include banishment to live on an island of bears without a weapon as this was a traditional punishment in some northern tribes. We will need to sentence colonists who refuse to embrace indigenous rule with work camps and reeducation in addition to deportation back to their continents of origin. It is known that wolves are sacred to indigenous peoples. We are never confused that these acts against wolves are in fact a hate crime. The earth has been stripped of power because indigenous people have been stripped of power. We are connected. We are the land. You won’t have one without the other. If you authentically want an end to colonial wildlife torture you would boldly support, I.S.R the fledgling pan indigenous government. Anything less is insincere. These courts do not exist yet and we lack the power to make good on our vision, but we must continue to dream of a new society. A society that understands reverence for the natural world.
“Colonialism is causing the desertification of the entire planet”
This blog issue is to address something disturbing that has been happening for at least a decade that we know of firsthand, and we suspect it’s been going on longer. We will shed light of some areas who are attempting to ban revolutionaries and some of the psychological, social and economic reasons for this.
Sweat Lodges: Revolutionaries have been banned or bullied in so called spiritual places known as sweat lodges. The people who attend them are almost always absent from struggles for liberation especially actual revolutionary organizations. Some of the reasons will be listed here. First off people attending sweat lodge are often using it as an escape mechanism. They are often addicts or ex addicts who still have the behaviors of addicts and drunks. In short, its pain avoidance and pleasure seeking. They use ceremony to try to feel a cultural connection, but they do it at the expense of those who make the culture even possible in the first place. All those participating in culture owe everything they do and every aspect of it to the revolutionaries. They do not want us at ceremony because it reminds them of how they are hiding and letting us carry all of their burdens while they attempt to escape the realities we have to deal with on their behalf. The contributions of the sweat lodge leaders in this decade have been to deprive revolutionaries of the healing they need then those spiritual leaders turned around and gaslight revolutionaries for things like p.t.s.d that were caused directly by depriving us. If revolutionaries are not attending your sweat lodges i will assume that your ceremonies are run by spiritual abusers. Derelicts. Revolutionaries such as myself are often not welcome in places where corruption exists. Cowards and the corrupt and big belly chiefs hang around ceremony while real warriors are tasked with the heavy lifting. We are not basking in a feel good we were awarded only pain. Bogus ceremony people know all of this. They may not be able to articulate it, but they damn well know it. Thats why we are banned. Any sweat lodge that is not healing the verry warriors who ensure indigenous lifeways should be torn down and those so-called leaders dismissed for corruption. It should also be stated that PDJ has held colonizers in organizing spaces when qualified indigenous people were available. This went on for over a decade. We suspect that revolutionaries may be being banned from Sundance as well.
Economics: Revolutionaries are banned from ceremony because ceremony people have widely betrayed the people in the sense that they are petit bourgeoisie aspiring sellouts. Many of the spiritual runs including Peace And Dignity Journeys actually extract from the same communities they should be serving. I’ve seen with my own eyes families give up vehicles and gas money and food to these bogus spiritual groups who shy away from revolution. PDJ has become a vacation for petit bourgeoisie aspiring sellouts. The organizers have literally grown fat off of the resources of the people, some of those people are struggling deeply and a prayer that lacks any dialectics whatsoever is sucking their life essence. Petit bourgeoisie sellouts are stained with the blood of their own people on their hands.
At times it has been stated that politics themselves are not welcome. This is a contradiction with an easy explanation. Any space that bans politics automatically defaults to supporting the status quo subsequently upholding the same empire responsible for their ongoing genocide. Politics are present everywhere. Even prisons ect. There are zero places on earth you can escape that truth.
Revolutionaries pressured the empire until ceremonies that were banned became able legal again after the Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978 and those same ceremony spaces turned around and banned the warriors who fought for their very existence. We implore the masses to put immense pressure on these gatekeepers and remove them from their ability to gatekeeps.
You need to be siding with the revolutionaries not the corrupt. Everything you do in life is made possible by us. I.S.R is not welcome in spaces where corruption exists. This is proof that you need to be standing with us unless you yourself are corrupt.
You should always think twice before you cross a talented writer who’s smarter than you. Just a reminder that this is never a good idea. Feel free to try to sue us. I relish the day i rip you up in a court room. We refuse to be bullied.
Politically illiterate people have gatekept these spaces. They accuse revolutionaries of being divisive. Here is the truth from an educated stance:
Excerpt from Pittfalls Of Liberalism by Kwame Ture: Whenever articles are written, whenever political speeches are given, or whenever analyses are made about a situation, it is assumed that certain people of one group, either the left or the right, the rich or the poor, the whites or the blacks, are causing polarization. The fact is that conditions cause polarization, and that certain people can act as catalysts to speed up the polarization.
Liberalism exists in indigenous spaces as well. We were not magically spare from that as a people. Always remember, it was an indigenous person who killed Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull……
These spiritual places are teaching the people to put their efforts into acts of symbolism as where dialectical materialism is desperately needed. Genocide cannot be overcome by prayer. The truth doesn’t care about your feelings.
We didn’t cause the division. It was caused by conditions. We were absolutely true to our role. I am a walking talking living breathing catalyst for change (revolution). We are the new era.
Join I.S.R we are to corruption like water is to oil.
The jaguar has a special relationship in the western hemisphere. The connection between the ancient Maya’s and the jaguar holds strong. They were revered as ancient Gods. The Mayan people understood the importance of the jaguar in the western hemisphere. Jaguars were excellent hunters as they kept prey population under control. They are the balancers. Jaguars could be found until the early 1900s. Colonialism and human migration has affected not only people but the environment and ecosystem. As the Colonialism moved in, the Jaguar population dropped down 50%. They are no longer in El Salvador or the so-called U.S. If you want to see a Jaguar today, you come to Belize as 35% of the country is protected Human and Jaguar conflicts are on the rise as the corridor in Belize losing their rainforest. This corridor is key for Jaguar’s to maintain genetic diversity and stop inbreeding. If we do not decrease deforestation, we will lose more jaguars and potentially more devastating effects to the environment. Colonialism not only destroyed civilizations and people but destroyed the environment and beautiful animals. Colonialism doesn’t seek to work with the Earth but to destroy it for profit. Indigenous people have always been at the forefront of protecting the planet. Decolonization is the only path forward for an equitable society and a balancing ecosystem.
Historical Territory: Prior to colonization Jaguar would have ranged from “Luisiana” to “Arizona” and all the way to the Amazon rainforest.
“Colonialism is causing the desertification of the entire planet” – Invisible Warrior
Implications Of A Colonial Border: In the 1990s the Jaguar began reappearing in mountain ranges in “New Mexico” and “Arizona” The border wall made by the empire is likely interfering with Jaguar populations.
Religion And Spirituality: Information about the importance of jaguar and spirituality of Mayans, Aztecs and others are resurfacing and this will be an ongoing topic pertaining to decolonization. Colonizers burned the books and erased the knowledge of the people thru missionaries and assimilation. An ember remains in the Jaguar.
Who’s to thank for the return of the Jaguar: Gratitude is owed to the process of decolonization itself. Those who contributed thought and ideology, those who galvanized anticolonial politic, the land defenders, the indigenous peoples themselves who’s way of life means defending the living world. The assassination and imprisonment of indigenous land defenders has increased. We are the land itself. Gratitude is owed to the Jaguar itself for being tenacious and capable of survival. For being highly resilient.
Future restoration: Everyone will be needed to protect the future of the planet. A revolutionary indigenous government will be needed and exists at I.S.R. The same threats to humanity also continue to threaten the jaguar. The top two threats at this time are climate catastrophe and global conflict. Life intertwines.

3 recipes that will not harm the greater ecosystem and are completely natural. Includes information on the effects of rat poison on water and wildlife.
Fill a container with corn meal and baking soda. This mixture will cause the rat to bloat with gas. Wildlife that might eat the rat later will be unaffected.
fill a container with 2-3 teaspoons of salt, 2-3 drops of dish soap and 1 cup of water.
Flour, baking soda, grated cheese. roll into dough balls.
Place these in your home and garden, behind appliances and where rats hide.
Let predators do their job. An owl can eat up to 12 mice. A coyote can eat up to 16 rats. Many snakes which are feared by humans eat primarily mice and rats.
Politicized: Rat poison would be banned under indigenous rule. It would be completely phased out and replaced with natural methods. Creating revolutionary changes by implementing it as law can be achieved by building the I.S.R pan indigenous government. Full dictatorship of the rightful stewards will immediately improve the quality of living for everyone who accepts indigenous rule as well as ensuring that the natural world heals and thrives. I.S.R will set the most advanced environmental standards the world has ever seen.
Conclusion: Rat poisons are unnecessary, ironically, they hinder rodent control. The practice is basically more colonizer confusion.
The land we know as Turtle Island (aka North America) has been occupied by a settler colonial government for hundreds of years. It’s time to get the #LandBack
ISR is a revolutionary pan-indigenous government representing the vanguard effort to restore social justice on Turtle Island by restoring power to the nations who this land rightfully belongs to.
Climate change is the 2nd biggest threat to humanity in the 21st century and as the rightful stewards of the environment, we are working harder than anybody else to be at the forefront of conservation efforts. It’s time we assert dominance of this land that was stolen. The environment has been brutalized by the settlers for too long.
The Illahee Spirit Runners are a hard-working collective of indigenous led activists committed to revolution, protecting society from the worst effects of climate change, and getting the land back.
Think of what’s at stake here. The majesty of our waterfalls, the essential life-giving water we need to survive, the soil we need to grow food, temperate rainforests, old growth and all of the plant and animal nations we share the land with are depending on us to do the right thing.
“At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that a true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love” Che Guevara
Conclusion: Any political ideology, organization that does not address climate catastrophe is not relevant at this current juncture. Raise the standards. #WaterIsLife
It’s important. That’s why we’re asking for your support. Don’t just talk about it, be about it.
Intro: I.S.R have many times been the work horses who received no credit. Liberal NGO’s aren’t going to do it for us. The colonizer is still trying to omit us from history. We are essentially forced to take every opportunity to celebrate our victories because we know for a fact our enemies will not. We accept victory and take a bow. Splendid is this excellence and I am truly grateful to be alive to see this go down. Elated. Accomplished. Goosebumps. Our suffering was not in vain. Will Wolverine travel past your town?
How did this happen? A lasting pressure from multiple sectors was put on trapping, which is dangerous, lazy and indiscriminate. Ultimately coyote hunters are killing everything except for coyotes, and they are being forced to give up trapping them for logical safety and ecology reasons. Coyote trappers are catching eagles and hawks, deer, endangered species such as fisher cats, wolves, wolverines, countless dogs and domestic animals and even human children including a child who was killed by a cyanide trap.
Story: Wolverine is a traveler. Wolverine journeys along the big river. Wolverine eats well at the big river. Wolverine climbs a mountain to get a better view. Wolverines are powerful relentless animals with a tremendous surging natural energy. The largest member of the weasel family. Super weasel. Wolverine decides to go to the beach. Wolverine has not seen the ocean since 1935. Colonists believed they had made Wolverine extinct by 1935. Wolverine is back! Its long been overdue. Wolverine decides to run to the edge of the earth. Wolverine succeeds.
Update: Wolverine after visiting the ocean ran over the coastal mountain range in 2 or 3 days. The epic trek of wolverine continues in the valley and beyond. A generation will know Wolverine outside of a comic book.
Conclusion: Some people think that change just happens. Those same people probably think revolution is an event. On the contrary. It is planned, cultivated and cared for. It is deliberate its foreseen. At I.S.R we knew that the return of Wolverine was inevitable.
The earth heals when colonialism is interrupted and ended. Colonialism is the core contradiction. Returning land to a revolutionary indigenous entity will expedite this process.

Throughout our formative years from our early days in radical wildlife conservation to the creation of the revolutionary pan indigenous government we have supported, hosted, assisted with fundraising, offered graphic design and participated in the Peace And Dignity Journeys. We were even able to protect one of the main organizers from white supremacists just by merely being present in 2012. A liberal and revolutionary divide exists even amongst indigenous. We have been kept at a distance and minimized which has caused us to limit our involvement. Unfortunately, in the indigenous community part of navigating is waiting for gatekeepers to reach the end of their time so new people can carry on. We realize those who are not radicalized have not faced as many defeats as those who are because radicalization is a process. It’s caused by losing after actually fighting. Over and over. It occurs by ethics and observation of circumstance. The Latin root of radical can be found in the word radish. It means we went to the root. The core contradiction is colonialism. Liberalism causes elements of the people to betray revolution, but the revolution is politically educated and disciplined enough not to betray the masses. The fledgling pan indigenous government which is a truly revolutionary entity according to definition continues to assist the Peace And Dignity run. The prayer run is widely symbolic so why would materialists participate you might ask? The answer is to connect indigenous communities which is absolutely paramount to an entity with an emphasis on community and sharing. A chance to gain insight into the material needs of those communities. That being said, it is crucial to connect all communities not just ones that don’t make elements of indigenous liberalism nervous. Sending runners was an ancient form of diplomacy. Why would militants participate? Because we tend to be disciplined, determined and physically fit enough to carry the prayer consistently year after year. Let’s tell the whole story instead omitting information from history. We are the element that ensures peace. We are the dignity.
“The existence of a nation is not proved by culture, but in the peoples struggle against the forces of occupation” Frantz Fanon
Conclusion: Please join I.S.R the fledgling pan indigenous government in supporting and participating again in the legendary Peace And Dignity Run because it is the correct thing to do.
