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.

“Any unarmed people are slaves, or a subject to slavery at any given moment”.

Huey P Newton

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.”

Invisible Warrior

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.

Tears Of The Empire

The U.S is the only nation in the world to use a nuclear weapon. This decision has caused unmeasurable damage some parts of the earth are already radioactive for thousands of years. Their decision to do so has terrorized not only humanity but the entire natural world where resources for these weapons are now extracted by all peoples who require defense from the colonial blood sucking vampire the u.s. There are over 5000 abandoned uranium mines on Dine’ lands alone. We are obligated to speak for mammal, fish, bird, reptile, insect, fungi, and plant nations. Some of the most sinister effects of uranium mining has been the contamination of water which is the source of all life. #WaterIsLife

The U.S is only able to terrorize the globe because they are exploiting indigenous land and resources. There’s uranium in the ground. There’s lithium in the ground. They need our copper; they need our timber. Move beyond symbolism. Nobody cares about us. Deprive them of material resource. Join revolutionary organizations savvy enough to understand the difference. Mature politically enough to be able to function in those organizations. Indigenous people were the racial group with the highest representation per capita during Vietnam. Some of us have mistakenly been proud of that when we should have been ashamed. Deprive them of bodies as a resource. Deprive them of Indigenous, African and oppressed bodies. Deprive them of all bodies. This is unity politics we urge the Europeans to deprive them of their bodies as well. Do not enlist. Resist the draft. I.S.R understands it will take all of us to win. 7

Thomas Banyacya who was able to obtain conscientious objector status for followers of the Hopi religion; knocked 4 times on the white house doors. A metaphor for the 4 trips he made to D.C. His requests fell on deaf ears, and he was ignored. On the final trip he was barley listened to and most of his target audience neglected to meet with him. They mocked him because he did not understand power. They actually put him in prison for refusing military draft. Should we knock one more time for Thomas? No, we will not be fooled this time. Kwame Ture reiterate what we already know; That the U.S has no conscious.

For nonviolence to work, your opponent has to have a conscience. The United States has no conscience.”
Kwame Ture

Better if through I.S.R and by any means necessary get our lands back. Neocolonialism must be neutered and stomped on. Traitors dealt with. Nationalize our resources as a pan indigenous government and seize the means of production for benevolent purposes or no purposes. We must refuse and resist we must be willing to finally build the pan indigenous army and fight them before we allow them to brutalize others the way they have brutalized us. We cannot negotiate with terrorists we must stop you. I.S.R current belief is to buy land back as a revolutionary entity in order to have the legal right to defend it by force. I.S.R seeks to create our own courts and legalize our violence as any government does. We intend to rule. Such is politics. Do politics or politics will do you. #RightfulStewards

“Love without power is weak and anemic”.
M.L.K

Most importantly build. They strangled us but we have reached equilibrium and are gaining in numbers now by the thousands. We must consolidate to build something that can strangle them back.

“When you see people call themselves revolutionary always talking about destroying, destroying, destroying but never talking about building or creating, they’re not revolutionary. They do not understand the first thing about revolution. It’s creating.”
Kwame Ture

We are obligated in this endeavor by the simple fact that we are the exploited. Wounded Knee, and Cheyenne, Arapaho and Kiowa have been fighting against uranium mining along with the Lakota since gold was discovered in the Back Hills in the 1870s. Black Mesa, Yakima, Cayuse-Umatilla Hanford, Marshal Islands, Yucca Mountain, “Nevada” test site, #LandBack

We stand on the shoulders of giants.

Battle Of The Wabash

The greatest defeat of the U.S in history. Battle Of the Wabash. A battle that occurred Nov. 4, 1791. St. Clair who was the governor of what colonists were calling the Ohio territory. St. Clair tried to lead 1400 troops against a confederacy of indigenous tribes who’s forces were 1000 to 1200. St. Clair became overconfident. The indigenous confederacy was able to form a crescent moon shape around the u.s army killing almost all of the troops leaving them only one direction to retreat. This tactic would have made even general Sun Tzu smile. The indigenous confederacy took minimal loses. The indigenous forces included Little Turtle of the Miami’s, Blue Jacket War Chief of the Shawnee who forever turned his back on the whites and proved himself under the leadership of Tecumseh, also present were Delawares, and the Potowatomi.

The Indigenous victory in the Battle of Wabash on November 4 1791 was the most overwhelming military victory by Indigenous nations in our fight against colonialism. It was such a huge win for indigenous people, that the U.S has tried to cover up the event, also known as St. Clair’s Defeat.

People may be anxious with the elections, and world events but we can find hope with this victory of pan indigenous warriors against colonialism 200 years ago!

Colonizers are mortal, and the colonial empires they build are not invincible – they’re constantly crumbling from the inside with internal contradictions that can never been resolved. With luck to be at the right time and place, and with organization and numbers, empires can die.

The pan indigenous warriors of the Western Confederacy prove we can win.

When the amerikkkan revolution ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1783, Great Britain gave colonial control over the Eastern coast of Turtle Island. The amerikkkan frontier — the border between the settler colonies, and Indigenous lands — was around the Ohio River.

George Washington placed another colonist, Arthur St. Clair, into two very important positions: the leader of the u.s. Army and also the governor of the “Northwest Territory”, the Indigenous lands to the west of the Ohio River.

A confederacy of colonized Indigenous nations united — Chippewa, Ottawa, Potawatomi, Wea, Pianka Shaw, Wyandot, Mississauga, Menominee, Shawnee, Lenape, Miami, Kickapoo, Kaskaskia, Chickamauga Cherokee, and Upper Muscogee — all in rejection of U.S claims to the Northwest Territory.

They also knew that through their unity to reclaim the land, victory was guaranteed. So, they united their fighting forces into a pan indigenous alliance known as the Western Confederacy.

At the same time, Washington ordered army general St. Clair to remove the anticolonial warriors, and so St. Clair gathered all the colonizers he could to try and go and fight. He first had 2,000 but the colonizers were so lazy that half the cowards left.

When they got to the Wabash River the colonial army set up camp. Nearby, the Western confederacy, led by Little Turtle of the Miamis, Blue Jacket of the Shawnees, and Buckongahelas of the Delawares spied upon the settlers.

Early on the morning of November 4 1791, the pan indigenous warriors launched their strike.

The colonists crumbled under the organized strength and tactics of the pan indigenous warriors. The Western Confederacy had fewer fighters than the colonial army, and it was a massive military victory against colonialism.

After 3 hours of fighting, only 200 colonizers were able to escape with their lives with roughly one thousand dead.

This enormous loss for the colonists undermined the u.s and gave power back to Indigenous nations. Washington forced St. Clair to resign, and the next u.s. army leader had to remake the military from scratch.

“THE FORTUNES OF THIS DAY HAVE BEEN AS THE CRUELEST TEMPEST TO THE INTERESTS OF THE COUNTRY AND THIS ARMY, AND WILL BLACKEN A FULL PAGE IN THE FUTURE ANNALS OF AMERICA”

Was the amerikkkan victory against Great Britain a fluke? Would the country continue to lose in military battles?

The Western Confederacy continued our anti-colonial resistance, but in the decades after the colonizers gained control over the region and formed the state of Ohio there. The Indigenous nations continued to resist, but we were removed from our homelands.

Ultimately, control over land is the source of power. The pan indigenous alliance known as the Western Confederacy was able to badly defeat the u.s army by having control over our land and our strength of unity.

Centuries later, the colonial nation is again crumbling with disorganization and corruption. Colonizers and sellouts are deeply divided about which colonizer candidate they want to control the White House.

The fledgling pan indigenous government is getting stronger, and more united day by day.

To continue the victorious legacy of the Battle of Wabash, join I.S.R today and build the pan indigenous government. 7

Land Back!

Old school “Anderson” shelter.

Introduction: A government who cared in the slightest would prepare their people for difficult times. You can see clearly for yourself who is mindful of survival and who is not. I.S.R fledgling pan indigenous government is miniscule in its current size, but our hearts are still large despite the deplorable, foul behavior of the masses at this time. Although we are frustrated with poor behavior and lack of participation, we have still held 2 nuclear survival trainings open to the masses. Now we follow up with how to build your own shelter for your family. Our ideology states we must address the needs of the people and we are disciplined enough to follow our own ideology even when times are difficult. Approach your tribe about building some kind of fallout/ survival shelters right away if you have not done so already.

“The enemies of a people are those who keep them in ignorance.”
Thomas Sankara

Anderson Shelter: During World War two England gave part of its population simple and innovative for the time corrugated steeled shelters. They were given free to people who earned less than 200 British pounds per year. These shelters could be buried, or half buried and then covered with earth, sandbags or other materials. Most were very simple occasionally elaborate. Sometimes a booklet was included with ideas on how to make your shelter more comfortable. Bunks with wood frames and wire mesh were sometimes used for sleeping. Technology has improved significantly since WW2 you may now be able to add L.E.D lights and modern features. Possibly solar power. Let your mind have fun designing it. For added protection against gamma rays consider putting concrete and several 6 feet of earth or more. Your first step is you must have a will to survive. Many at this time do not. In our recruiting this year we found that some people didn’t want to join organizations because they wanted to die. They have already capitulated. Attention to collective mental health and developing fortitude at this time is of preference.

Pros: Benefits to this design is relatively low cost and the ability for you to replicate it yourself by welding a few pieces of steel together and going from there is possible for a number of people especially if they work collectively which obviously you should. Anderson shelters are fairly easy to hide if you disguise the door. Grass and other plants can be planted over the top out it. At this time, it could ease homelessness in a way, nobody really wants to sleep in a bomb shelter, but it could be a step up for somebody struggling to find shelter. This shelter will be sufficient against many different kinds of attacks.

Cons: The downsides to these shelters were that they do not have a place to put human waste. Perhaps a compostable toilet could be considered if you could make a design that can handle smell. People seemed not to like them because they were small. There is no c.b.r.n filter air intake for nuclear but you could design one with a snorkel. The Anderson shelter is separate from the house which meant you had to go outside to get in your shelter. If one has the means they might build something in their basement, so you don’t have to exit the house in an emergency. Possibility of moisture in the bottom, suggestion is to put a layer of gravel underneath. Some people will not have access to land enough to build an Anderson shelter. Land Back is more than a slogan, land is power. Some of you have mocked your own liberation struggles and their attempts to get power. Not having places to build fallout shelters is a direct result of that. A shelter like this is not going to protect people from a ground blast nuclear event in most cases, it’s not going to have enough layers to stop intense gamma rays. Eventually technology to locate bunkers by detecting co2 will be common you may need to disguise your vent system. Filtration systems for bunkers are on a one year back order because everyone knows what’s coming.
