Rogue River Wars

Intro: Historians have written about this but always from a reformist or petit bourgeoisie academic point of view. We intend to revisit, further record and give insight from an actual revolutionary perspective.

Lynch Mob Kills son of Chief John: Chief Johns son and another band member were hung by a lynch mob of angry colonizers what is now known as Eureka California around this time. The colonizers want indigenous land, and they want gold.

Tekelma Uprising: An uprising took place in 1853 lead by the 3 of the chiefs and General Lane was sent to confront them. This led to the Table Rock treaty of 1853. Something that is crucial to remember in all this is that colonizers don’t sign treaties with people that can be easily defeated militarily. Later fort Lane would be built. It is said that the colonists in the area were so bloodthirsty and murderous that this fort was actually built to protect the indigenous who had signed the treaty of Table Rock. Chief Johns son and another band member were hung by a lynch mob of angry colonizers what is now known as Eureka California around this time.

Williams: A militia leader with the last name Williams shot and killed more indigenous who were trying to surrender. The town of Williams “Oregon” is named after this P.O.S

Coos Bay: The colony in Coos Bay was started by 20 or 25 mercenaries known as dragoons who washed up on the shore and beached themselves. They were afraid and could not see so they made an executive decision to get drunk on the ships alcohol supply. When they woke up the cowards could see the beach and walked their hungover colonizer pirates filth to shore and started taking over. The indigenous were able to trade with them and get them to give up their best weapons. Probably because they were starving. Colonizers always seem to be starving here.

Chetco Massacred repeatedly: The Chetco were severely massacred. Christian colonizers commit genocide on the Tolowa. The Tolowa are still struggling against ongoing loss of land and have 805 acres. https://ndnhistoryresearch.com/2022/01/06/persistence-of-genocide-upon-the-chetco-people/

Bates House Massacre: Indigenous people were tricked into coming into a house for a beef dinner and were shot through holes in the wall by colonists waiting to ambush them.

Coquille River Massacre: Natives are massacred on the mouth of the Coquille River. 1854 https://ndnhistoryresearch.com/2017/08/18/coquille-massacre-narratives/

Massacre Rock: Massacre Rock is a series of large boulders on the Rogue River where colonizers waited for indigenous folks to float by in their canoes and then jump up and shoot them.

Lupton Massacre: James Lupton and a group of volunteers drank alcohol all night in a bar and then massacred another group of indigenous people. This group was women and children plus a few old men.

October 9 1855: After trying to go along with relocation the indigenous are attacked and massacred again. This time the tribes retaliate and wipe out several colonial homesteads. One colonist was shot dead right in his doorstep of his squatter shack while his family watched. A few colonists were burnt alive inside their cabins. A mining town was also attacked for a day. Including being shot with flaming arrows.

Colonizer vs colonizer?: Colonizers have long sought to set up a white utopia in the so-called pacific northwest. However, colonist disagreed on how to do that. Liberal colonizers who wanted to put natives on reservations to be assimilated vs elements including self-proclaimed Indian fighters and Indian exterminators who wanted to completely eradicate us and take our land. The Rogue River Wars would have colonists pointing muskets at each other over how best to proceed with colonization. By this point in time after colonizing the west coast Pope Paul for what it’s worth declared that indigenous people were human.

October 31st The Battle Of Hungry Hill: By now John Tecumtums band and others had begun to gather near a very steep hill with strategic positioning. It may have been known to several groups that one day they might have to make a stand here. The people were under the leadership of old chief John Tecumtum but he may have still been in the valley. Leadership at the hill was by the daughter of Chief Joe of the Tekelma. The colonizers called her Mary some might have called her “Queen Mary” If that is correct then that means her father signed the treaty, but his own daughter refused to surrender and kept living out on the land. In fact, it turned out that the u.s kidnapped the son and daughter of Chief Joe and held them for ransom to get him to sign the treaty of Table Rock. This must have been a terrifying experience for the young “Queen Mary”. The best time to fight if your connected to the land is right before winter. If you die, you’re at least sparred the struggle of one more winter. People in Illahee know that October is when the weather changes. Sometimes to the day. The actual “Hungry Hill” may be near a place known today as Wolf Creek. “Queen Mary” proved to be a deadly and capable General. She fought at the right time and the right place. She knew that hill was very steep because she was a basket weaver and gathered roots there. The Rogue confederacy displayed outstanding guerilla tactics throughout the Rogue River Wars. It is said that three hundred colonizer militia and one hundred troops lost their lives attacking “Queen Mary” and the guerilla fighters who lost around seven or eight. Colonizer history covered this story up because they don’t want to admit they lost to a female General. Her tribal name appears to be lost. If anyone knows it please let us know. The world deserves to know her name. The place does appear to have a name Hak’welsamen

Indigenous Sharpshooter: It is said that the bulk of the kills came from a skilled hunter/sniper who was positioned and dug in. We couldn’t find their name either. Another unknown defender.

“One warrior willing to die can terrify a thousand”. – General Sun Tzu

After the battle of Hungry Hill Chief John Tecumtum had a few bands that continued to harass colonists.

February, 1856. Tututni uprising: Tututni tribe attacks the settlement of what is now known as “Gold Beach”. Tactic used was to attack when colonists were at a community dance. 30 or more colonial invaders were killed and the town was burnt down. Fire seemed to be a repeated tactic. The u.s army was called in and reported that up and down the coast was burnt dwellings of colonizers. Natives killed several more settler families including a father and two sons. They did this of George Washingtons birthday. Instead of celebrating “presidents day” indigenous folks and those sympathetic should be celebrating the Tututni uprising.

Big Bend, Chief John Tecumtum defends the people: The u.s army ordered natives to surrender at Big Bend. The people feared it was a trap because it was. Quickly the multiple indigenous groups found themselves surrounded by soldiers. These conditions are asinine because its very difficult to surrender when you get attacked when you do so. This illustrates repeated failings of the u.s army.

“One warrior defending their homeland is more powerful than ten hired soldiers.”
General Sun Tzu

Chief John Tecumtum and 30 plus warriors. Probably the elite squad snuck up the river and some snuck down the river and they surrounded the soldiers who had set a trap for the people. Fighting lasted 2 days. The soldiers got their asses handed to them. The u.s army had to send reinforcements. Two weeks later Tecumtum and his elite warriors surrendered on the coast. Chief John had the brilliance and foresight to tell colonizers to their face that people seemed to think the colonial way of living is good, but we will see how good it is two hundred years from now. When we look back now from the vantage point of a collapsing empire, we can see that Chief John was telling the truth. Colonialism and capitalism have no longevity. Thay were never sustainable. The largest Ponzi scheme in world history is coming to an end. Also known by the name “Elk Killer” was from the Etch-kah-tah-wah band. John was worldly wise. He knew powerful chiefs such as Sitting Bull Were defeated yet he struggled on. Johns band was known for adopting a a very solid guerilla tactic of shooting the officers of armed units who came after them.

Alcatraz Island: Chief John and his other son Adam were sent to be imprisoned at Alcatraz Island. Many indigenous people were imprisoned there. Colonizer history tells you about hardened criminal that served there. Colonial history doesn’t tell how it send indigenous resistance to elements to serve time there. Chief john was eventually released when he was old and the u.s didn’t fear him. He went to live on the Grande Ronde reservation but was always suspected of planning revolt until he finally passed about one decade after the Rogue River Wars.

Trail Of Tears and forced relocation: Hundreds of natives were taken to the newly formed Siletz and Grand Ronde reservations. Many were brought by wagon. Another large group was brought up the coast of the “trail of tears” for the Rouge confederation. An ugly soldier fort is still being preserved at Yamhill.

The Rouge confederation today: The people of Chief John live on today in and around Grand Ronde and Siletz, Cow Creek but also have moved back into ancestral homelands such as Ashland. They live in places like Salem the states capitol as well as Portland. That ugly soldier fort was burnt down sometime in the late 1990s i believe. The revolutionary spirit of Chief John live on in the people today. Your ancestors battled hard for your existence today because they had to. Sometimes we forget that. Part of the reason for this blog entry was to illustrate that. It is now your turn to honor them and do your part to continue the culture. The most important part of any culture, the part that makes all other parts possible is its revolutionary elements. Those who take up the resistance. Elements of the Rogue confederation are and have been active in I.S.R. Our War Chief Mko used to discuss resistance with the late grandmother Agnes who passed in 2019. It is noteworthy that these paths had crossed. It is imperative that the next generation take up the struggle and stop shirking the biggest tasks and responsibilities of their lifetimes. Tyee John Tecumtum is within you. Its your turn. Join I.S.R

On Trust

In response to a trend in distrust portrayed by unprincipled random social media entities.

Why trust is important. Trust is necessary for people to live in harmony. Trust is being eroded seemingly on purpose almost like a psyop and it appears to be weaponized propaganda that is negatively affecting the masses. As our ideology informs us we know that individuals cannot really achieve anything. This is not a new phenomenon, historically people lived in groups such as villages etc. most of the time. Trust is one of the factors that make humans overcome complex barriers and adversity through cooperation, historical and collective brilliance. Trust is part of why human beings have been successful as a species. Trust is a form of social currency for the oppressed. You can have nothing and still get involved with your people’s liberation struggles as long as you have integrity.

Psychological attack: Using meme culture that hijack images of Tupac and changing his words to promote messages such as “Don’t trust anybody”. Whoever is creating those memes are engaging in psychological attacks on the masses. I want to counter these sell outs. Tupac knew more than most the importance of community. Multiple unprincipled sources seem to be spreading a message of distrust. This weakens the masses. These messages have to be spread by someone. Unwittingly the masses are spreading a message that is contributing to their downfall.

Why are people spreading a harmful message of distrust? Some of them are parroting online entities and sources because they seem popular. Basically, capitalizing off of herd mentality. Some of them have been victims and some in extreme ways and have given into depression and fear. Some are getting paid. It has become profitable for some people to attack the masses these people are corrupt and counterrevolutionary. Others find it amusing or entertaining. We assure you. There is absolutely nothing funny about disunity and disempowerment. Some people do it because they are not accountable to anybody or any organizational entity that would correct them. Sometimes people do it because they themselves are not trustworthy, so they project it on to others. It is likely these are all examples of liberalism.

“Every comrade must be helped to understand that as long as we rely on the people, believe firmly in the inexhaustible creative power of the masses and hence trust and identify ourselves with them, we can surmount any difficulty, and no enemy can crush us while we can crush any enemy”. Mao
“On Coalition Government” (April 24, 1945), Selected Works, Vol. III, p. 316.

What to do about it? A higher level of principled revolutionary political education is needed so that first off people can address these psychological attacks and not get duped by them. To understand these things more deeply so they can act against this harmful misinformation. I think it is within reason to keep records, when possible, of who the sell outs are who are creating this kind of anti-human propaganda. Remove your support of them. Many are celebrities who do not represent the masses they are the sock puppets of the ruling class. Instead spread messages from principled, benevolent sources such as I.S.R or A.A.P.R.P. In the future the masses may be able to form a pan indigenous government who could hold them accountable later on. We must continue to point out the logical truth that humans must relearn to trust each other in order to prosper. Healthy people trust each other. Perhaps you might even get burnt once in a while, yet you set your resolve to trust people. Seek out and embrace political efforts at unity such the pan indigenous government of I.S.R. Embrace the 18 points of accountability promoted as a way of life. We intend to rule. Support the full dictatorship of the #RightfulStewards

Respitory health including herbs.

Question: Have you been noticing a lot of coughing and absent people from your work/school?

Bulk: While many seem to have forgotten COVID exists, the virus has continued to spread unmitigated, wrecking carnage on working class populations, causing acute disease, disablement, and death. COVID is a name used in reference to SARS-CoV-2, which stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2. Governments around the world, especially in the West, have encouraged people to remove their masks and have not provided updated vaccines, even going so far as to require people to come into work and school sick with COVID. During the beginning of the pandemic, the CDC claimed masks were not effective, blatantly contradicting the fundamentals and basics of virology, a point they still maintain to this day. These western governments ignored, minimized, and suppressed the direct evidence that COVID is a deadly airborne disease, spread via air currents in enclosed spaces, capable of persisting in the air for several hours. In the face of this evidence, they instead directed their public statements on handwashing, covering mouths while coughing and sneezing – strategies that are ineffective and deflect attention from the main vectors of transmission. They also minimized the deadliness and severity of the disease itself, comparing it to the common cold. They did all of this while simultaneously internally categorizing it as a Biosafety Level 3 – reserved for “infectious agents or toxins that may be transmitted through the air and cause potentially lethal infections”. Many countries are seeing a large percentage of their population being diagnosed with Long COVID, a chronic condition that can last for months or years after infection. Some countries, such as the UK and US, are seeing numbers around 3-30% of their population (US Census Bureau, UK Census 2023), which is accelerating economic decline in both places. Instead of responding to this rationally, most places and governments have turned to denial. We’ve begun an era in which getting sick multiple times a year is considered normal, a phenomenon that hasn’t been seen in decades.

Part of the reason this disease has spread so quickly and caused so much damage is because people are completely uninformed about both basic science (such as what a virus is and how it works) as well as the severity of COVID. Most governments have greatly minimized the danger it poses, claiming that it is like a cold or flu. This is incredibly misleading, as HIV also begins with flu or cold-like symptoms along with many other viruses, due to the fact that those symptoms are produced by the body’s immune system reaction to a virus rather than the virus itself per se. Like HIV, COVID damages T cells and the body’s ability to produce them, as well as causing multi-organ damage and nerve damage. It has been recognized as a vascular disease almost right away but was marketed as a respiratory disease. I say “marketed,” because capitalist governments did exactly that. As we know, disease is a tool wielded by settler colonial/capitalist states to kill off undesirable minorities. This behavior fits the long historical precedent, such as the use of plague blankets to harm indigenous people, extending to modern times with tuberculosis and anthrax human experimentation, as well as injection of syphilis into test subjects from the black population. It was announced almost immediately in 2020 that we shouldn’t worry too much about COVID because the people most likely to die from it are the disabled and elderly. In other words, we shouldn’t care enough to protect the lives of the disabled and elderly to take precautions like wearing a mask. There is no other term to describe this but eugenics, as they shaped their policy around the abandonment of these groups of people. Of course, those aren’t the only ones affected. Stats came back almost immediately demonstrating that minorities such as Black and Indigenous people were being killed and disabled by the virus in much higher numbers than white people, and yet zero policy changes were made. These are deliberate choices made by governments worldwide, but especially the US, that led to tens of millions of preventable deaths and counting.

We are now in the second-highest surge of the entire pandemic, and yet the revocation of the emergency mandates has not been reversed. Well over the WHO’s reported number of 4 million people have died worldwide from COVID, as few countries are still even testing for COVID in patients with obvious COVID symptoms. 65 million are estimated to have longcovid, which is almost certainly an undercount. Most governments have instead chosen to eliminate testing and all methods of tracking case loads. The only reason we have numbers from some countries like the US is due to the ability to test wastewater to get an idea of how many people currently have COVID.

Another very peculiar element of the COVID pandemic is the fact that declassified documents from the US government show a US patent on the SARS-CoV-2 virus, as well as its sequence and method of transmission, which prove without a shadow of a doubt that it was artificially created and then leaked by a US biolab staffed by mostly US citizens in Wuhan, China. Many people are suspicious that it could’ve been either a US bioweapon meant to attack China, or that US bioweapons labs are incredibly incompetent and at risk of future leaks.

If we want to protect the lives of our friends, families, and communities, we will need to become much better at handling pandemics as a population. We will not be able to continue to face future problems by simply denying they exist. Such denial will only allow the problems to worsen, making us vulnerable to future threats (be it future pandemics, crises and collapse of capitalism, or climate related disasters), putting in existential peril our species as well as the other flora and fauna on Earth. We need to be familiar with protocol for surviving all forms of disasters, whether natural or human-caused, as climate change will greatly increase the rate of mutation for microbes and make pandemics a frequent occurrence. Let’s start today by committing to wearing a mask, social distancing, isolating when sick, getting vaccinated, and being there for sick comrades.

Herbal Information: Madagascar was succsesful at running the virus off of their island with herbal medicine. Lets consider that this could be a logical course of action in treating and preventing the virus. Some herbs that have been used are neem leaf, artemisia annua (wormwood), Thyme, Allium sativum, malva, aloe, salvia officinalis, cynara scolymus, erigeron abajoensis, hanocornia speciosa, isatis indigotica, alnus japonica, paulownia tomentosa, torreya nucifera, artemesia caprillaries thumb, angelica decursiva, glycyrrhiza. lions mane and reishi mushroom may be helpful with the effects of long covid, ginger root, lemon, mulien, elderberry, echinacea, clove, chinese star anise, eucalyptus, oregano oil/tincture, horehound, licorice, astragalis.

The Modoc Wars

Have you ever heard of the Modoc war of 1873? Let us take a look at this historical period of indigenous resistance.

Preface: The Modoc lived around Tule Lake, Medicine Lake, Mount Shasta and the lava fields. What is referred to by colonists as northern California and southern Oregon. They knapped arrowheads at an obsidian mountain. Roots would have been a big part of their diet. The Modoc had their land stolen by colonists who didn’t and still don’t know what to do with the land they stole. For a colonist its generally too rugged. 16 years ago, i stood in the Medicine lake and a Modoc holy man prayed for me and blessed me with a golden eagle feather fan he dipped in the lake.

Applegate Trail And Colonial Land Theft: Settlers complained that the indigenous were menacing them and petitioned the U.S government in 1872. Applegate, the man the trail is named after hated indigenous people. Colonists were burning effigies of The Modoc warriors at one point. Colonists at this place in time had a series of cruel interactions with indigenous peoples. They behaved like they just wanted the indigenous gone. The colonists destroyed Modoc root gardens and took their best hunting grounds. President Grant was calling for the extermination of the Modoc. Modocs resisted land theft and were far bolder than colonists expected. One incident claims a group of 12 Modocs came to a homestead and invited themselves in for dinner and ate until they were full.

Hooker Jim Takes To The Warpath: Hooker Jim who was around 18 years old took his band and attacked settlers trying to liberate the land. The Modoc didn’t understand the concept of how many colonists were coming some thought they could kill the colonists and that would be that. Hooker Jims band was able to kill 14 settlers and attacked a house.

The pettiness of tribalism: Hooker Jims band betrayed Captain Jack by helping the army look for him and later they would be forced to stand together at the stronghold after the betrayal. Klamath were competing against the Modoc and would not allow them water and food eventually. These and other instances are examples of what Nkrumah calls the pettiness of tribalism. We can learn from this thru historical and dialectical materialism the need for a pan indigenous government and pan indigenous unity. These and continued acts of pettiness are barriers to unity.

Ghost Dance: A ghost dance leader was present at the stronghold. A giant circle marked in red was created on the lava. It was said by the ghost dance leader that they could not be harmed in the circle. Also with this belief came an element of the dead being brought back to life and all the Europeans to go away. Even though the Modoc were surrounded by troops and militia they danced the ghost dance. Most likely they completed a 4 day dance.

Stuff Your “Peace” Commission: The Modoc present at the stronghold took a vote. Colonists were determined to exploit the Modoc and “peace” was really just a word for the end of the way of life for the Modoc so they voted to attack the so called peace commission. Captain Jack who was only 36 at the time would go along with the vote and lead the attack. He was accompanied by Boston Charlie, Schonchin John, and Black Jim who later would hang in the gallows for it. Captain Jack shot General Canby right under the left eye. The resistance fighter of Illahee had adopted a splendid guerilla tactic of greasing all the officers. They killed many officers and this time they killed a General. It is said that Hooker Jim, Shacknasty Jim and Steamboat Frank and others were there as well.

“We are not dogs. Me and my men refuse to be slaves to a race that is no better than mine” Captain Jack

At The Stronghold: The Modoc wars were one of the most costly wars in U.S history. It took 1000 U.S soldiers to take on 50 to 70 Modocs a few of which were women. A baby was born at the stronghold during the standoff. We don’t die we multiply. The lava flow takes up some 47,000 acres and has a few hundred caves. The lava also provided walkways where the Modoc could defend one side of the lava beds and then run to the other and defend there. At one-point soldiers went in to negotiate. Modocs wanted their own reservation. They asked for a piece of land valued around 20,000 dollars and were refused. The army would pay a lot more than that by the time this was all done. The stronghold protected the Modoc from artillery shells that the soldiers were firing at them. General Canby’s scalp would end up being flown off the medicine pole at the stronghold. Captain Jack was seen eerily running around in the dead Generals uniform.

Alcatraz: Modoc who were pardoned from the hanging were sent to Alcatraz. In school they taught you that Alcatraz Island was a place for the most dangerous criminals in the west. What they didn’t tell you was that’s where they sent indigenous anti-colonial freedom fighters from the Modoc Wars, Rogue River Wars and others.

Trail Of Broken Treaties: Termination era was the catalyst that set off the old American Indian Movement. Much of it was a mobilization out of necessity. It resulted in a massive march to D.C. The formation of A.I.M lead up to the standoff at Wounded Knee exactly 100 years after the Modoc wars. The u.s has been careful since then not to set off a spark like that. Some have tried such as with the Mashpee Wampanoag but people with more sense have talked them out of it. Durring the trail of broken treaties A.I.M members sometimes walked into stores and took supplies as reparations. They ended up taking over the B.I.A building and rigging the doors so that tipi poles would fall on anyone who opend the doors.

Reference: Where White Men Fear To Tread by Russel Means

Modoc Today: The Modoc became part of the Klamath reservation. Many are intermarried and refer to themselves as Klamath/Modoc. Yahooskin Paiutes lived there too. The Klamath/Modoc reservation was stolen from the people during what became known as termination era in the early 1970s. They still sing that Modoc Sundance song. They live in southern “Oregon” and places like Portland. Another faction of Modoc who were rebellious were sent to Oklahoma. Some Modoc were given a check from the federal government that was tiny. An insult. A man named Edison Chiloquin was the last Modoc to refuse the check and continue to live on the land. Today Modoc are members, supporters, and affiliates of I.S.R. The Pan Indigenous Government. I keep a picture of Edison Chiloquin; it reminds me that there are people with great integrity. Modoc up and join I.S.R!

Message from Loraine Butler: Captain Jack and five other men sentenced to death by hanging on October 3rd 1873 the men whose lives were spared were in prison in Alcatraz a handful of Modoc women men and children held off the US army and Stunned the Whole Nation! They were pulling Troops in nearly a Thousand to Battle anywhere between 50 and 70 Modoc Warriors and Those Warriors held the Military off for nearly a year. The Military would spend millions of dollars to feed and supply the military But the tribe Sought everything for their freedom because that And tribe and every other tribe on Turtle Island deserve to be free. The Captain Jack people fighting for their way of life. John and hooker Jim became famous. It just so happens to be less than two centuries ago. Ben Wright had to come to the west to mine gold he was notoriously ruthless. He killed over 30 men women and children. They didn’t write their own histories they didn’t get to tell their own histories. I feel that these warriors that held off the US military has made an inspiring and Major impact on myself. That is the major reason I am writing this paper to and for the future generations and personal healing for myself to be able to pass this information to the Future generations to come.

Wolverine Protected

Introduction: Efforts of the fledgling pan indigenous government continue to force concessions in the wildlife conservation sector.

Story: U.S federal and state government f’ed around and found out when they tried to enact a second extinction of wolves. It became a worldwide point of ridicule. People from diverse political ideologies want to see wolves make a full recovery. Only after massive political pressure not only by I.S.R a revolutionary government but by countless others. Only after this tremendous pressure are colonial wildlife agencies flipping the script and pretending to support recovery. We know that many people involved in these colonial wildlife agencies are involved in promoting the killing of wolves. Boise Sherif’s department encouraged people to shoot wolves without a tag. Some wildlife officials have openly displayed the “smoke a pack a day” stickers on their vehicles. This is closer to the truth than how they are portraying themselves now in order to get funding. It’s been a process of a decade and a half of resistance to the wolf hunt that has brought us to this point where protection for other furbearing mammals and what trappers call non target species. The critically endangered wolverine is now off limits to trapping! Many animals are going to benefit because traps are indiscriminate. Traps kill fisher cats, bob cats, hawks and eagles, dogs, humans and human children. They will even kill herbivories that get snared or clutched by conibear traps. Trapping is a lazy and irresponsible way of hunting. In the formative years leading up to I.S.R we faced huge obstacles, we endured suffering. Years we are stacking wins. Knowing that the next generation has a chance to see or know what a woverine or a fisher cat even is was why we went thru that.

Conclusion: The NGO’s are already taking credit for our victories. They want you to believe the non-profit industrial complex brought you these concessions. This is not true. The NGO’s took you donations and used it to enable and prolong the colonizers land theft and theft of natural resources including wildlife. Therefore, we openly claim victory for I.S.R and another victory for the natural world. I want to extend thanks to everyone who struggled with us.

Solution: Land Back. Give land to the fledgling pan indigenous Government.

Operation Bow And Arrow

Operation bow and arrow is a mass call to action. Its a a material response to injustice. In the current overall political climate emphasis is being put on what you say or post on social media. The thing about this is nobody cares about your opinions. Right wingers and those of the left who are materially savvy are stocking up on bullets. I want to make it clear that your opinions will never stand up to bullets, to think that way is completely asinine. Furthermore, what does it matter what you think if you’re not organizing towards that as a revolutionary goal within a revolutionary organization? Absolutely nothing. You’re still wishing upon a star. It’s embarrassing. Indigenous people such as I are surviving a current ongoing genocide. We know all about it. Mohawks and Lakota’s were listed as insurgent for 500 years. Infact its us you should be going to for strategy and tactics. Speaking about genocide is one thing. Organizing accordingly is another. What you do far outweighs what you say. “I am tired of words that come to nothing”. Chief Joseph. As a general rule I.S.R is consistently several steps ahead of the competition.

“In order for nonviolence to work your opponent must have a conscience. The united states has none”.
Kwame Ture

Operation bow and arrow is a powerful act of self determination.

Tip: Try repurposing fiberglass rods and pvc pipe to create bows. Try making arrowheads out of scrap metal, spoons or reuse glass.

“You have to quit crying on the shoulder of the guy who stole your land” Arthur Manuel

Greater Call To Action: The pan indigenous government is instructing all oppressed people on Turtle Island to acquire archery tools. Bows, crossbows etc. You may consider making your own. Make seize the means of production more than a hip slogan. We challenge you to follow thru and be honest/consistent. Learn to make your own arrows. I.S.R has demonstrated archery as a step towards unity in the sense that all continents of the world except for Australia have independently created bow technology. I.S.R as the rightful stewards intend to initiate an archery renaissance on our continent. Operation bow and arrow is to be done in conjunction with steady political education. It is undesirable to have more armed uneducated people running around and this step cannot be skipped. You should be in the revolutionary government or at least in a revolutionary organization that has a skilled political executive who puts their members through rigorous political education.

“Without patriotic political education, a soldier is only a potential criminal”. Thomas Sankara

It is your duty to be armed. Remember what happens when they take our arms. Remember Wounded Knee Massacre. Once we laid down arms the U.S tested machine guns on us with exploding shrapnel that were not approved for conventional warfare against the other colonial entities such as the French. When we lay down arms, they engage in war crimes. It’s just a historical and material fact.

I.S.R is elite however from our studies we know for a fact that we cannot proceed without the support of the masses. Even if you’re not ready to join we urge you to head this call to action. I.S.R leads the way by reminding you that the bow and arrow cannot be restricted by u.s law. The masses must dirty their hands in this revolution. Anyone who doesn’t is a traitor. Engage in your own liberation struggles and end your boycott on revolution. Use hashtag #OperationBowAndArrow

Wolves released in “Colorado”

Wolves have been released into the wild on Eastern Shoshone, Kiowa, Cheyenne, Pueblo territory. However, only a tiny portion of the story is being told. We intent to tell you the invisible part of the story. Let’s give respect and credit where its due.

Between 2011 and 2021, people joined together in an effort to protect wolves who had been reintroduced. Wolves which had been protected under the endangered species act were turned over to state agencies long before they made a full recovery which has still not been achieved today. For a few months i waited for someone to set up some protests. One happened in Idaho and among the first was an African man who staged a sit in at Washington D.C. Ater this there was a frustrating lack of action so I realized I myself would have to do something. An elder had already told me to.

The states are trying to act like the heroes when “Oregon” was trying to kill wolves ever since the first wolf pack arrived in the state with less than 12 members. “Idaho” killed thousands it was a bloodbath. “Montana” nearly as bad. “Alberta Canada” tried to kill 5000 wolves with cyanide to make way for a pipeline. “California” has been resisting wolves since they arrived, and “Utah” has a shoot on sight policy. Do not let them posture on this. Supreme victory on the restoration of wolves on Turtle Island goes to the Invisible Warrior War Chief Mko and I.S.R the fledgling pan indigenous government.

Over that decade hundreds of protests happened that escalated over time from vigils and prayer events, worldwide hunger strike to protests then to taking over offices. Towards the end i had perfected an unstoppable cat and mouse confrontation tactic. I was able to get international support. I was able to get people in other parts of Turtle Island to follow suit and we would strike on the same day to flex. I had scientists joining in, and people were traveling long distances to rebel with me. I completed 100 actions in 2012 alone. I got into it with the army, mounted cavalry, state troopers from two different states, armed rangers, cowboys, liberals, gangsters, and wolf hunters. On top of it all i had learned to become media savvy in a political environment that was deliberately conspiring to censor us. I had become a problem. These efforts resulted in many political concessions. In the case of revolution, the empire will give concessions to maintain control and make it look like it was their idea the whole time. In actuality they are yielding to a revolutionary force without resorting to acknowledging it. Similarly, many NGOs will also probably claim victory, so we intend to make sure the whole story gets told. This is a story of decolonization. The restoration of the ultimate anticolonial animal. Wherever colonists go they come into conflict with the 73 species of wolves on the planet. The empire intends on keeping indigenous revolutionaries’ unseen this has worked against them in this case and has helped to create the legend of the Invisible Warrior.

These efforts did not end until covid closed the offices. I was unyielding. The empire must sense that the issue could flare up again at any moment hence the concessions.

In actuality the wolves that have been released in so called Colorado do not belong to the empire. They belong to the indigenous of this continent as a cultural resource. They belong to I.S.R who has proven us by measure of sacrifice that we love them. A whole new generation gets to experience wolves on the west coast because of us. This will be my greatest success. The thing that makes me invincible. I’m already and will forever be victorious. From the wild spirit of the wolf, we invoke a wolf nation with a flag that bears the symbol of a wolf with lightning coming out of its mouth as seen in a vision. Mobilization transformed into organization. The fledgling pan indigenous government seeks land for wildlife conservation so we can take it to a whole new level. We are tasked with proving that we are the #RightfulStewards and we are just getting started.

10 Tips To Ready Yourself To Join I.S.R

Specific suggestions on how to ready yourself for membership within I.S.R pan indigenous government. By now more of you are coming to understand that you need to be in a revolutionary organization. Perhaps you have tried individual efforts and met with little or no success. Those who understand that a lone wolf is a dead wolf should read on.

Originally, I.S.R intended on being a mass party. We overestimated the political maturity and the political will of the masses. We are heavily involved in political education and training within the party and a portion of that is passed on to the masses while they prepare to make a commitment to membership where they will finally engage in cadre development. At this current juncture we are a vanguard party able to train others. Because of our high standards and maniacal political drive with emphasis on political education we have become the special forces of indigenous resistance. This being said we need everyone from the front lines to the chow lines. Teachers, builders, security, people with a wide range of skill sets. We are willing to work with newbies if you excel at listening and following directions. I.S.R is militant. Common sense should tell you not to enter a militant environment if you have an aversion to discipline. A tremendous amount of people are copying us and trying to run off with a watered-down version of our ideas at this time. You may as well just discipline up and join something elite. I.S.R is temporarily closed to new members because of the poor behavior of the masses. We are preparing to resume recruiting in 2024.

We hope your thinking about joining. The masses must embrace the pan indigenous government. Things you can do to get yourself ready to join I.S.R

1. Study political education materials off of the i.s.r study list. A study list exists for I.S.R if you can’t find it feel free to ask, its a public study list it has been made public specifically to help you prepare for membership.

2. Start learning archery. I.S.R has identified archery as a point of unity. Every continent in the world except for Australia used bow and arrow. This attention to archery will bring militancy to the masses. I.S.R has an archery club to help develop this. If archery is of interest to you then consider I.S.R.

3. Learn about plants. I.S.R stresses relationship to plants for members. You may be asked to grow some kind of food or medicine. You will be introduced to herbs thru our weekly mental health meetings these herbs can heal your body and mind.

4. Learn first aid. I.S.R militants are trained in first aide. cpr etc. we are trained with the skills to kill in one hand and heal with the other. This is part of the lightning medicine.

5. Clear up your Sunday schedule for i.s.r. Sunday is our busiest day, we have a mandatory roll call followed by meetings, political education trainings and discussions. We have taken our Sundays back from the church forever.

6. Learn tech skills. We are a worldwide organization. Colonization is a worldwide issue. It is only possible to address this with computers. Computer skills are needed for production of digital materials. I.S.R hope to attract people with tech skills. If you went to college for tech please stop hoarding your skills and give freely to the revolution.

7. Increase your physical fitness. Responsibility will fall on you to protect others physically in a militant government. This requires physical fitness. Combat training is mandatory at I.S.R for all members and this is not negotiable. Disabled members may see the Disabled Karate Federation as a reference.

8. Practice being on time and well organized in your life. Modern life requires people to be on time. Its an issue of responsibility, integrity, consistency. Cultivate a habit of showing up 10 min. early to allow for connectivity issues etc. High discipline equals high morale.

9. Follow along online and share i.s.r materials. Responsibility for spreading materials falls on the collective. Indigenous peoples are made invisible. It is a direct challenge to empire to make our liberation struggles visible.

10. Prepare yourself to embrace life in a collective. Being in a collective is a significant change to people who have been conditioned by american individualism. You may prepare yourself by collective life by putting others before yourself. At I.S.R you will be part of a team. You will become part of a collective brilliance. Begin to make that mental transformation now.

We hope you are thinking about joining. The masses must embrace the pan indigenous government. Begin doing these things to get yourself ready to join I.S.R

Can sage improve your relationships?

Insight and observations around sage and its uses in occupied Turtle Island. Sage is a commonly exploited plant in the colonial culture of exploitation where it is common to be out of reciprocation and engaging in the exploitation of plants. Most people who use it have never grown it. Never contributed to land where it is growing wild. Never cultivated or seeded it. Never even watered it. Yet they take from this hyper exploited plant under some very selfish contexts. The very title of this blog which grabbed your attention is exploitive. That was clickbait homie. But now that your here we can learn how to be better people. At the risk of sounding like Kennedy it’s not what sage or a revolutionary organization can do for you its wat can you do for sage or a revolutionary organization. Covid interrupted human relationships and at some point, it will have to be remedied. When we don’t know how to be in relation with plants the corporation decides for us. Failure of indigenous people to seize the means of production. Failure of indigenous people to defend and claim sage as a cultural resource has left it to be hyper exploited by everyone including Wal-Mart. I think about how things could be different if people had relation to plants without exploitation. For me this came into focus at a time when i was trying to figure out how to protect an indigenous food/medicine. I quickly learned that i could not hardly speak of it. That only a small and barley existent portion of the mass’s population were capable of being in knowledge of their existence without engaging in some form of exploitation with them. There are still plants who are not ready to be known. At least by colonists. Although they eagerly try hence the existence of “ethnobotany” which is nothing less than an entire science field dedicated to exploiting indigenous knowledge of plants. Stop being a culture vulture. Colonists have become increasingly sloppy by not making their children grow plants at home. If they succeeded there perhaps, they could get a bunny or a dog. If one cannot be in relation with a plant, they are unfit to be in relationship with animals or humans. Consistency is a trait that is in shortage. Plants respond extremely well to consistency; they even enjoy what some growers call a watering schedule. Amazing. Some natives under colonialism have taken to holding us back with the concept of “indian time” yet the pants clearly understand. One cannot be in relationship with plants without knowing consistency. If you fail to water the plant relative it will die. Fail to give it nutrient or protect it from pest or disease, it will also die. There are many adult children around the peripheral of revolutionary spheres who could benefit from these lessons. You might even find it helps your romantic relationships which are also strained. Give sage a reach around. You might find it improves all of your relationships. It improves your relation to family and out from there. Working your way up from there you might gain the responsibility level and ability to reciprocate and function within a revolutionary organization. It could be said that a person’s political ideas should not be listened to unless that person can grow plants. It gives them no frame of knowledge to the basic foundations of life. Youve heard me speak about revolutionary prerequisites in the past. This is one of them. If all your plants die, that is an indication you’re probably not ready for a revolutionary organization and need to mature in that area before going forward. Your relationships with plants have bearing on your relationships with each other. Trees are and many other plants are communist in nature. They rebel if you try to make them other than. There are many things you could learn from a responsible relationship with a plant. My best ideas have not been released to the public because more of you are interested in taking wisdom to use for your own organizations or personal use that you have no willingness or intention of being in relationship with us. Meaningful solidarity is about joining. Many of you have neglected to join organizations because you espouse to be anarchist. Well, any real anarchist would remind you that anarchy depends on volunteerism. You’re not volunteering for anything. The ideology your actually committed to in a dedicated way by your actions or inaction is actually referred to as American consumerism. American individualism. Liberalism. Muddling along perfunctorily. Counter revolutionary in nature. Far from what you imagine yourself to be.

“You cannot be in solidarity with a people you have no relationship with.”

Spare your comrades of finding out the hard way that you can’t remember to water them.

Instructions for growing your own sage:

Sage is best for intermediate to advanced level growers. Although it is thought of as a desert plant it will be happier if it has some shade. Sage also likes a sandy soil. If you are a person who uses sage regularly you should definitely try growing it. I grow all the sage i use in a year myself now. It is a correct feeling when you finally come into relation with the sage, having supported it thru its entire life cycle. However, this is not about a feeling this is about being in material relation. A reality. A symbiosis. If you have not completed this step of growing sage, you actually have not earned the natural right to use it. Sage is a perennial so if you cultivate the right conditions, it will come back to greet you again each year.

Repossessing Natural Authority

In the last few years wildlife conservation and habitat restoration has occurred at the newly formed I.S.R Department Of Natural Resources. I.S.R which has zero funding has taken the first tiny steps at actually rivaling the very existence of illegitimate colonial wildlife and conservation agencies. In just a short time we have documented a return of insect life that had disappeared from the area.

We personally spearheaded several indigenous plant restorations including elderberries and wetland plants including native grasses and tubers. I.S.R is seeking to reclaim land for wildlife conservation.

Restoring Chepenefu

Early moral adopters of this politic should contact I.S.R to return land for conservation. We are convinced that implementing our politic on our land through possession of land deed and title will finally allow us to defend that land by force from the constant exploitation of colonists. By any means necessary. Defending land by force is the only way to get the colonizer to act with any level of integrity. For example, some states like Pennsylvania colonists at Fish And Wildlife will have 3 to 6 thousand black bears killed. In many cases this is done with taxpayer funding. When hunter do not make quota then the equivalent of mercenaries is used. These wildlife killing mercenaries kill wildlife for fiat currency. In many cases they were trained by the u.s military as ex-military get priority when applying for wildlife agency jobs. In some cases, they are the same people who have killed oppressed people globally. This simply will not occur on lands that have been reclaimed by REVOLUTIONARY indigenous elements such as the pan indigenous government of I.S.R. We understand the difference between identity politics and revolution. Lesser people might be confused but we are not. We stand incorruptible with a pure intention, and this is why we continue to be a threat. We clearly understand the difference between neocolonial land back efforts that bolster the empire and true revolutionary efforts. Fish And Wildlife has been aware of our demands for over a decade and has sought only to further undermine us as the rightful stewards. Today we return the favor and undermine them again by informing them thru this blog which will be sent to so called state and federal entities of colonial wildlife “management”. As a response to end stage colonialism which we know to be the cause of climate catastrophe we stand firm. We seek to test the ability of the empire to make war against the entire planet and still make war against wildlife populations that do not belong to them as a natural/ cultural resource. We will stop at nothing less than the full benevolent dictatorship of the continent of Turtle Island including the Caribbean and Pacific Islands.
