Choosing Mediocrity

Major strides have been made since the 1970s. Still much of the movement is still there in their maturity and level of political education and understanding. Those groups were not successful because they had incomplete ideologies and or incorrect political summations. Some have become national bourgeoise, some are neocolonial, some fell short of their development at anti racist because they are unable to face the core contradiction of colonialism. Some are anarchistic and fight against any organization who could actually rival the empire which enforces status quo. This is why cointelpro has declared that they like to infiltrate anarchist movements for exactly this reason. Some of you have behavior that is so bad that your doing the work of cointelpro but your too stupid to get a check for it. Some are hopelessly hung up on eco sabotage when it’s not a bulldozer that needs to be destroyed it’s the power system that has the keys to that said bulldozer in the hands of colonists. Some of these groups only have egos in place of their political education programs. Their sources if they have any at all are corrupt. Some of them are using globalism to undermine indigenous people while the rest of you are too politically illiterate to notice. These groups are the cause of political illiteracy amongst our elders. There is also a phenomenon where people who are not organizers are calling themselves organizers. First off you must actually be in an organization to call yourself an organizer. Otherwise, you’re using the word so broadly that even a baby who puts away their toys is an “organizer”. Most who claim to be an organizer have never even served on a committee and actually have no frame of reference to actual organizing which is why they act confused and angry when we agitate folks on the fact they need to be in an actual revolutionary anticolonial organization that intends on rivaling the empire. Some indigenous groups still think their clan alone is enough and they only need to organize with their tribe or extended family. This is what Kwame Nkrumah called the limitations of tribalism. Your clan alone cannot rival the empire. Infact if you understood dialectical mind historical materialism you would understand that that is how they conquered us in the first place. Clan by clan. When you speak in that individualistic way it exposes your lack of political education. I.S.R has the highest standards. Many of the old organizations are not organizations at all they are merely an idea and a logo. This behavior makes it difficult to tell real organizations form poser organizations. Anarchism has infected the land defender movement and kept it impotent. They do not organize to make victory certain. Instead they roll the dice and sometimes they get lucky, other times their adventurism and their need to put a dopamine fix over doing the boring work of actually building an organization that can rival the empire. Anarchism in the land defense movement is just going to catch people a bunch of 15-year prison sentences. Anarchism has also left cities like “Portland” unlivable. Even the so-called activists are moving away. If you do not join benevolent organizations, the masses will have no recourse for injustice but to continue to riot which will eventually bring about martial law. Again, this is why all the fbi/cia agents are in your anarchist movements. You seem to like to organize with pigs and like a pig by not joining actual benevolent organizations like I.S.R. Furthermore, if your so-called organization does not intend to rival the empire then chances are your just in the way. They way you choose mediocrity and fracture power instead of consolidating it is like taking a mighty river and dividing it into creeks then dividing it into trickles until it no longer flows. Your ego does this. It does this because you cannot fathom that we have studied harder than you. Studied with maniacal furvert for years. We have been on the forefront of every major land struggle and gained wisdom. You cannot fathom that we were invited to education programs by the top political educators, and we have an extremely strong lineage. Frankly we outworked everyone setting an insane grind. Many of you are in competitive video game leagues that will kick you out if you become inactive for 2 weeks. You love these competitive video game leagues. Thing is you’re going to have to take revolution more seriously than you take your video games if you want to win. Even most of the artists that surround the movement refuse to join and work in an organization. This is selfish individualism. I have yet to see a native hip hop artist who is anything more than an opportunist looking for personal gain by being in proximity to a movement that they refuse to join and refuse to put any real work into. Your ego cannot fathom that I.S.R and our unique brand of unity politics is the best. You cannot fathom that for the first time in history someone has responded by developing a revolutionary government that for the first time in history has developed proper anticolonial power structure. Your ego cannot fathom that we have done all this with hundreds of people attacking us and trying to stop us. It is us who got 34 million for the tribes. It is us who have had so many victories we cannot count them anymore. It is us who have completed 300 actions. It was us who could have made it a thousand if you would stop choosing mediocrity and join the group with 18 points of accountability and the highest standards and most powerful program created to date. It is us and only us by virtue of indigenous nations united, the #RightfulStewards that gives a right to forge a legitimate government here. Any and all governments or organizations that do not operate under indigenous rule are illegitimate, illegal trespassers who do not have the right or permission and consent to organize on this continent. You fail because you can’t see the most active indigenous resistance group on the continent. The one who is has graduated form protesting to nation building and is now a revolutionary government. Weve developed the best program. All we had to do was look at all the mistakes American Indian Movement, Black Panthers, Rainbow Coalition made and do better. Panthers abandoned political education. Frantz Fanon occurs twice on their reading list but none of them seem to have studied it or are able to apply it. Rainbow Coalition is merely antiracist instead of anti colonial so it misses the core contradiction and ends up being harmful to indigenous people. Your liberation cannot come at the expense of indigenous people and land. That is not justice. The failings of the American Indian Movement are too numerous to mention. I.S.R is the new era. We designed it better on purpose. It took us 15 years to do all this. The least you could do is acknowledge what you already sense and that is that I.S.R is the best. Stop going against your best hopes for a better future. Tell your ego to stfu. Empty your cup. Be ready to learn. Put the work in. Build actual meaningful relationships with us and join. We run this shit. Our programs are elite. Stop choosing mediocrity, at this point you are choosing to be oppressed. You are also making a choice that you want others to be oppressed. Do better. Mediocrity is weakness. Remove weakness from your mind and body. Do better. Be responsible. Mediocrity brings mediocre results.

Toy Soldiers

Everyone knows a few of them. You know, someone who poses in militant clothing and openly displays their weaponry to everyone. This type rarely seems to be in an actual organization with a program. Usually, they rally behind causes that are essentially just a logo or an idea without working actively in and belonging to an actual organization that has any hopes of rivaling the empire. They tend to place emphasis on being armed, which is important but far from beneficial. Without political education this is far from optimal uneducated and untrained people with firearms is just unsafe. There’s already 3 guns per person in the so called u.s. Without constant political education all you will have is a bunch of idiots with guns. The 2a march in Tulsa was a good example where somebody had accidentally discharged a firearm. Clearly that was lack of training.

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

The superficial ego based expression of the toy soldier broadcasts to colonists and letting them know where weapons are and who to come after first. All the while they accuse those who do not brandish weapons of not having weapons. They accuse those who are more intelligent than them of having nothing material to offer. In this way the toy soldier becomes an unwitting informant. Thru a process of political education and actually being deeply involved in actual organizing i have grown to have more respect for someone who can be consistent and hold it down on a committee or any kind of benevolent program such as childcare or growing food for the organization than I do for the poser toy soldier type. Im not undermining the need for warrior prowess I’m merely suggesting that in a real organization our babysitters, teachers and gardeners might actually have a higher level of warrior prowess than the toy soldier. This is not cosplay. We are not l.a.r.ping. If you just want to play dress up try comicon, or cyber punk. This is revolution. Do better. You absolutely must be in a hardcore anticolonial organization doing the DAILY tasks needed to be done. Understand the toy soldier when you see one. Know them for what they really are, paper tigers. Yall just frontin.

The cost of currency for funerals

{A burial in the sky}

Losing a loved one is hard . Capitalism makes it harder .

There are many things a person can do to make their death easier for their family . One of those things is to prepay for their final expenses so as to not leave behind a burden for their family as to how to pay these costly expenses.

This can be achieved by finding an insurance company. Sometimes the person will have a beneficiary to handle this , but often the funeral home will handle this . This is determined when the insurance is taken out . The person taking out the insurance will decide on how much to pay based on what they want . Cremation or burial , or if they want a funeral service . The insurance company isn’t actually paying for anything, they are just handling the funds that the person put into it . It is their own money . Sounds simple right ? But it’s far from simple under capitalism.

After a loved one dies the grief can be overwhelming. You pick out a funeral home. Talk to them on the phone . You ask if they take the insurance and they say yes and to bring the paperwork in to the mortuary when you come in . The death happens and they come and get the body . You don’t get an appointment at the mortuary for a week later . When you go to the appointment you show them the insurance and they tell you that they actually don’t take insurance. You can’t change your mind and find another mortuary because you would then owe them for the cost of the transportation, and the storage of the body that they have had for a week . You then find out they own most of the mortuaries in the area anyway .

The funeral home tells you they will fill out the insurance paperwork for $300. The forms are simple and the funeral director tells you that if you pay it the insurance company will just reimburse you . Without much of a choice at this point you pay for it , fill out the paperwork and wait to get reimbursed.

Weeks go by without a response. You call the insurance company, and they want more documentation, so you get it and send it in. Now months have gone by, and you call again. The insurance company first tells you that you didn’t send anything in. When you get upset, they tell you that you are too angry, and they threaten to hang up on you. They then go from we didn’t get any paperwork to the paperwork you sent in doesn’t work. After you mention getting a lawyer the paperwork now works, but the money that you paid out of your own pocket now belongs to your deceased parent and they will be sending the estate the check. You will now have to take the check to probate court. It is $150 to file and an extensive amount of paperwork. If probate court clears it, you have to then deal with the bank and hope they will cash it for you. All of this because a loved one didn’t want their death to be a burden on their family, and to get your own money back. My mother died on August 2nd 2022 and I’m still waiting for the check.

Summation: After doing some research and finding out that funerals all over the world are costly. Cuba has one of the best situations and even it has many drawbacks. Caskets are in low supply and burial/cremation has to take place within 24 hours because there is not adequate refrigeration. Logically the best funeral accommodations go to officers of the revolution. Spain also has some of the best conditions around cost of funerals. Under their system they are starting to offer free funerals for those that contribute as organ donors. They have been able to get the countries rate of organ donors up to just under 35 percent with this technique. The moneychangers have literally created a world where many cannot afford to live and cannot afford to die. This is unfathomable and we at I.S.R find it completely unacceptable.

Where do we do from here? I.S.R is already using our radical imaginations to bring dignity to the masses. From an indigenous lens currency could not be accepted for a funeral because it is a sacred time. Once currency is involved with spirituality it is no longer sacred. As part of the restoration of Turtle Island we will bring back the sky burial. Our united native nations will join the Tibetan Buddhists as cultures that still have intact sky burial practices. Historically several cultures used sky burial including Celtics. Cremation and earth burial will also be options but will have more sustainable practices around it. Considerations will be made for the earth and this process will aid in restoring health and vitality to a damaged continent. Graduate from “activism” to nation building. Our minds are our primary weapons. Under indigenous rule and as one united Turtle Island there is nothing, we cannot find solutions to. We are those modern-day dreamers and visionaries. As the #RightfulStewards of this continent, we have the authority to do this. Red Power! Join I.S.R the fledgling pan indigenous government.

“There is no old way or new way. There’s just a way. A way to live with earth or not to live with earth. We choose the way of earth”.

Confront Colonialism-Restore Turtle Island

Wolf pups in Karuk territory

The “Whaleback Pack”, as colonial agencies are calling them. Are living in Karuk territory, delivered a historic litter of pups in 2022. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed the pack added 8 pups this year, the largest known litter of wolf pups in over 100 years!

The “Whaleback” Pack now sits at 10 known wolves after the male gray wolf, dubbed OR-85, mated with the female for the second time in two years. With the wolf pack delivering 15 pups in just two years of living in Karuk territory. This would not have been possible without the constant devotion of Mko the Invisible Warrior to resisting the colonial wolf slaughter. I.S.R take credit for this victory. We know full well it is us who are responsible for future generations to experience wolves outside of colonial national parks. To even be able to experience them west of the Rockies is because i myself the invisible warrior was present to fight them since the first wolves stepped over the so called “Oregon” border. A generation will experience megafauna and apex predators. We were also responsible for getting the first grizzly bear reintroduced into the northern cascade mountains. Colonial agencies and NGOs try to credit for some of these victories, but they weren’t even present for the physical confrontation element and fail to acknowledge indigenous revolutionaries because their careers depend on stealing our accolades.

There are 3 wolf packs total in so called California. The only other known pack in to live in Siskiyou County this century was the Shasta Pack, which have been missing since 2018. There are currently multiple investigations pertaining to the suspicious disappearance of the wolves. Colonists’ inability to protect wolves to the extent of losing entire wolf packs is a perfect example of how their negligence forfeit their duty back to the rightful stewards who should have been in control of wildlife conservation in the first place. Colonists investigating colonists is a terrible power dynamic. Leaving wildlife conservation in the hands of the same people whose colonial violence made them extinct in the first place. These anticolonial truths about wildlife conservation can only be made real by I.S.R the fledgling pan indigenous government.

Wolf numbers are higher than they have been in 100 years thanks to I.S.R repeatedly and thru great obstacles continued to confront them, showing up again and again often in rural hard to reach places. These kinds of ecological struggles don’t take place at the park in New Jersey, downtown Chicago or so-called Portland Oregon. Those who were there know i spent a decade very uncomfortable and struggling as a result of my persistence in resistance. /Takes a bow. Your welcome.

If your interested in wildlife conservation from an anticolonial analysis you should join I.S.R.

On militarism.

No Militarism

We are a militant indigenous government, but we do not support the militarism of the so-called U.S military. Militarism is defined as the belief or desire of a government or people create armies who operate outside of their homelands, and of a colonial and environmentally exploitive nature. (Example: The so-called U.S has 800 military bases worldwide who exploit the local populations where these bases exist). The U.S is the largest polluter on the globe. I.S.R strongly seek to create new environmental standards that would look tremendously different than what the colonial empire is doing. Our allegiance remains to the earth. The government of ISR seeks world peace by policing our own continent not everyone else’s. Under indigenous rule we will be able to enter into worldwide nuclear disarmament talks in a legitimate way for the first time ever in history.

We recognize that we are under the repression of a brutal regime who’s guiding spirit is colonial violence. We continue to undermine this by working towards peace. We must fight the repression of the state with organized, principled action guided by dialectical materialism. Peace is always preferable to war a people who understand the horrors of war know this. Our time is better spent planting crops, healing each other and restoring the land. Indigenous rule will bring about leaps and bounds in agriculture/horticulture.

I.S.R see giga death on the horizon due to climate catastrophe, the only thing that could surpass that is if the world erupted in world conflict. We at I.S.R resent the warmongers for delaying the attention of the global community which should be focused on climate solutions and making the world a better place. Sometimes they even site economic reasons for their wars but it’s like they don’t understand that there can be no economy without a healthy environment. These are the top 2 issues facing humanity. If you’re not in a political organization that is capable of producing solutions to the top issues facing humanity, then you might want to find a better organization. One that is hyper relevant to the times we are living in now. You might not want to wait until the last minute to make the switch either. You must be in an organization. Step number 1. No individual will impact these issues. No individual will overturn colonialism. Colonial warmongers interrupting the global communities attempts to address climate catastrophe will certainly lead to giga death. It is a most dire, sorrowful, ultraviolent and eminent situation. Colonialism is attempting to murder everyone on the planet by causing climate catastrophe. It must be overturned. The pan indigenous government must be built in its place. An entity that can keep the colonist from returning.

It is the duty of ever cadre member and officer to be principled in their advocacy and their actions. Tell the youth not to join the U.S military. Tell them to defend the earth and defend Turtle Island from colonization. Parents, tell the so-called U.S military that your young ones are too good for the military and that they can no longer use our children to fight other colonized people around the world. Militarism is Stockholms syndrome. Nobody here is impressed with your grampas war medals. We do not sympathize or identify with our colonial captures/abusers. Militarism like a poisonous weed, must be rooted out wherever encountered.

How to make winter emergency candles

Disclaimer: Candles are dangerous. Always use caution. I.S.R Government is not responsible for any damages. Use at your own discretion.

Ingredients: You will need coffee can or large soup can, coconut oil, used candle wax, tall candles to use as wicks or wicks, spoon.

Using metal cans allows you to gently heat them on an electric range or gas stove. The wide base makes them more stable. You will want to break up the pieces of used candle wax so that they melt more evenly. Place the coffee can on the range and gently begin to add heat. Begin adding coconut oil and used candle wax and start to melt it together. Stir periodically with spoon. Add more coconut oil and used candle wax until the contents reach the top line of the coffee can. At this point you will want to remove any debris from the used candle wax and make sure the mixture is stirred. A few lumps are ok. Now you may remove the coffee cans from the heat and let them start to cool and solidify. Coconut oil works best in winter. Once the candles start to cool you shove the long candles or wicks down into the mixture. I like to place 2 or 3 wicks in each coffee can. This method makes candles into super winter survival candles that will burn for days. This is a political act of self-determination to address the material needs of the people. We hope that this brings you some warmth and light this winter.

Stay safe out there, take care of each other and join a serious anticolonial revolutionary organization.

Foraging/Gathering 2022

Individualists are not the type to concern themselves with other people.

My dismay at the constant contradictions of a modern reservation system has given me a migraine from hell.

Maple trees line the roads. The leaves of the maple trees are bright to dark red.

Imagine real maple sugar, wild rice, and clean water as medicine.

Im just beginning to learn of the variety of plants that serve as food and medicine in the woods.

Imagining, all the folks that I feed narcotics to, on plant medicine. Yes, this is legal.

My guide and me were gathering plants for the cultural center at Nagachiwinong,

As one expression of “usufructuary rights” to hunt , fish and gather.

The 1854 colonial treaty boundary begins about 20 miles south of Sturgeon Lake Minnesota.

Enbridge is omnipresent on Nagachiwinong. Smiling and waving at us, as we passed by the workers and their trucks. Monitoring the pipeline? It was unclear what their purpose was by the lake. They barricaded the road as we were finishing gathering a few medicinal plants.

In my slide show, you will see the resting lake where Calamus is found.

The root of Calamus looks much like an iris or a lily.

Several, not all, reservation rice lakes in Minnesota , are resting this season from ricing. However, the neo colonial reservation business committee saw fit to allow white people to hunt ducks on this small resting lake. Signs posted ” resting lake” There was no bumper crop of wild rice this year. Wild rice is a picky plant. Wild rice is intolerable of sulfates in the water.

When the cedar begins to turn orange, late August early September, is the usual ricing time.

Make no mistake about it, the tribal DNR uses the same tactics as state DNR.

Like ” electrocuting the lake” to obtain fish samples.

Indigenous people’s unwillingness to join the anticolonial, revolutionary government, lack of revolutionary political education lead by I.S.R, and overall lack of political will has led to incomprehensible demoralization.

People are still under the impression that the right job or a proper loan of money is going to fix this.

What are children taught in the public schools about the rightful stewards of the natural world? About being addicted to narcotics, strung out and dead of an OD?

Or the proper way to treat one’s body. I.S.R has solutions to these and other problems. We do not intend to give away our recipe. You need to actually apply a base level of commitment and join.

There’s no god going to step in and fix this.

We at ISR do not aspire to be president, mayor or on city council. When the people , of Nagachiwinong tell city council ” no means no” and they shove pipelines through the land anyway, there is a specific word that comes to mind. Only through decolonization, and the undermining of empire- will we be set free. Free from economic strangulation. Free from hunger. Free from rape.

Unified for a safe space for shelter. See: Committees, and Eco village. All are welcome. Provided, you agree to some simple rules. See: group rules.

Its going to be 30 to 40 ° degrees below this winter in Minnesota. Duluth needs to stop murdering people with felony records. But, that’s a whole other story.

Or is it?

We are our own search and rescue, through organizing on our own.

Deb Haaland is not involved. She is a neocolonial sell out with the blood of her own people on her hands.

On Nagachiwinong, the signs and symptoms of neocolonialism were everywhere, all at once.

The straight line ditch, that stopped meandering rivers and streams, compliments , ACOE. In the 1930′ s

Huge trucks with the company logo, rumble through the rez and down the logging roads. If we had any dignity as a people, we would set roadblocks on our reservations and close them to exploitation projects, they may even find where some of our missing and murdered indigenous people keep going but as wards of the state the reservations lack the political will to assert themselves because the power dynamic of sovereignty is a power under situation. A new indigenous government is needed. One that is actually revolutionary. One who’s power dynamic is a power over dynamic until the empire is overturned and any colonists who refuse to accept indigenous rule along with all counterrevolutionaries are deported or run into the oceans and seas.

Minnesota nice is pervasive. White devils with smiling faces tell lies. Crimes against the land and the people, insidious.

After the humiliation and verbal battery of one young water protector, by a group of ” elders” , the demoralization of various anarchist style water protectors was complete. This water protector had put up a valiant fight. There could have been a vastly different outcome through organizing from within, rather than organizing with outsiders. In my opinion, these adventurists need an apparatus or a structure for survival and for life. The absence of the revolutionary government leaves anarchists who would oppose a revolutionary government who might actually have a chance at rivalling the empire alone to battle with politically illiterate elders.

Neither wolf nor dog, the Anishinaabe numerically have sided with exploitation. The RBC conceded to this land and water theft.

They concede to duck hunting by outsiders in a resting lake. According to one spiritual leader who’s opinion I respect, ” we cant keep hammering away at the lakes” Hence the resting lake with ” no ricing” signs posted.

It was a beautiful day in Indian Country.

Warm by afternoon, Cool morning that required a light jacket.

I thought that the plant nations were and are stunning in their tenacity for survival.

Where we were harvesting wintergreen, (an indigenous plant), a perfectly round spot on the moss where waawashkeshi had bedded down.

I understand these pipelines, to be dirty and destructive beyond reason. I don’t know what the people in the trucks were doing, aside from smiling and making their presence known. By the time we were done harvesting, the truck people were barricading the road for no further entry. One young man had a really special helmet on. He worships the beast.

I feel devastated sad and guilty for this generation.

Mainly, the pipelines have to do with to much TOXIC CO 2 in the atmosphere.

As every living system and all beings are related, all sentient beings will be eradicated by the toxicity of empire.

At ISR, we want to bring people the education and the tools to begin anew.

Learn the lost art of self determination

for health care, womans health care, or otherwise. We have our own.

Respect is a requirement.

Knowledge of the plant nations is gradual and in person to person.

That knowledge can’t be analyzed through the lens of Western medicine.

Indigenous Dissent Against Car Culture

Taking the grandchildren to see the horses. I never knew the Ojibwe to have a relationship to the horse. This relationship to these smaller, woodland dwelling horses was not something we talked about in ” First Nations Studies”, UWS.

In fact, our relationship to the natural world is as fractured as anyone’s. But Im working on that relationship.

While the boys are still interested in going places w grandma, we went last weekend, to view a small-scale herd of horses.

The horses are cared for by an Ojibwekwe, and her husband. Their goal is to help facilitate viable population of these horses.

And that the Ojibwe themselves / children/ average people would have access to these horses.

These horses were almost eradicated by colonists in the early part of the 19th century, as a so called, public nuisance. Similarly, the herds of the horses of the Niimipoo or Nez Perce by the U.S Army. It is mainly wealthy white people that own the horses now. White privilege is actually white supremacy. The u.s owes indigenous people’s reparations for their scorched earth campaign. These reparations will never be paid because they are too immense, too vast. We will sooner see reparations by way of self-determination by creating and asserting a new revolutionary anticolonial pan indigenous government.

The horses helped the Ojibwe with trap lines and hauling.

Roadkill factor. Racoons and Fox. Porcupine. Lots of deer.

The highways in Minnesota and Wisconsin are painted red with animal blood, mainly during deer hunting season. Oil wars feed the empire with the blood of our young people. Fossil fuel Blood money. Amerikkka has a love affair with cars.

Vehicles cause the most animal deaths. Cars kill more animals than that despicable colonialist past time, sport hunting. Displaced as these creatures are, from their world in the woods, of so-called Minnesota. June is the season for turtles to lay their eggs. For millions of years. At least, in this part of the Northern hemisphere.

At a turtle’s pace, turtles may try to cross the road. To lay their eggs, for life to continue.

It saddens me that I can’t make a road trip without viewing the mangled remains of various animal species.

Ironically, I make a lot of road trips.

Take out a pinch of tobacco & put it out when seeing a dead non – human.

Pack some heavy gloves in your trunk.

Carefully move their bodies off of the road.

Capitalism exasperates climate catastrophe.

My rickety 05 Grand Caravan was breaking down. And grotesque with rust. So unattractive. It has a mismatched red fender. We couldn’t find a blue one from the junk yard. At my partners prompting, I was persuaded to take out a loan for a 09 Chevy Impala. It was perfect well. comparatively…gold in color and almost perfect interior. Although I wouldn’t turn down a 64 Chevy Impala, reminiscent of low rider culture, and my beloved East Los. I have the credit score & he’s got the better income.

It is inevitable. Did I consider that a 12-year-old NASA study named automobiles the # 1 contributor to greenhouse gas emissions? It’s easy to imagine Amerikkka as the ” spiritual home of car culture”

Trying to imagine my way out of this mire.

Sad.

I am now enslaved to that loan. I am enslaved to that car. 30 + frog skins oil change. 32 frog skins renew my license. 40 for tabs. Have already put some 300 into it to keep it going.

Never really considered my relationship with the various vehicles I had owned over the years. Since I have lived in Southern Minnesota, I am on my 4th vehicle. Will it be my last, I ask myself. As many road trips as I take, it will be a good day to die one day. I visit dying rivers and homeless encampments. I managed to round up 5 people for a direct action to protect wolves in the wild. Had to bring 3 from Duluth. 200 miles from here to Duluth. I go to Duluth a lot..

I have 5 children. I had to buy (at one time) bags and more bags of food from the grocery store. It is inevitable under capitalism.

I’m one of those people that complains about climate change without an awareness of my own contribution.

I now commute 48 miles round trip to a gig in Northfield. Without the gig, I can’t afford the loan or the insurance.

The relationship of vehicles to climate catastrophe and the desecration of mother earth, cannot be overstated.

Although some people making a voluntary shift to horse, dog, bicycle or some kind of truly sustainable form of transportation it is only decolonization or collapse that will bring an end to cur culture. This decolonization can be brought about by indigenous rule. New environmental standards will be set by the pan indigenous government local food collectives will be mandated. Decolonize! Take the land back. Bring back the horse.

Animals Defending Themselves From Colonialism part 2

Let’s talk about some examples. I don’t know if it’s just me but incidents of animals fighting back are either gaining in frequency. When i started researching online i found these examples of animals defending themselves and their habitat in just 2022 alone. I wanted to give credit to the animals who are fighting back. Eagles are attacking drones and all kinds of stuff. Here is 20 recent examples. Current news. And 2022 isn’t over yet. Animals are resisting. Are you?

A man in Australia was brutally beaten to death when his dogs got into it with an adult male kangaroo. Kangaroos are buff and this kangaroo probably got tired of dogs and colonists and put a lethal beat down on them.

An alligator bit someones arm off in “Florida” Seminole territory.

A leopard seal in the arctic bites and punctures a zodiac raft in the frozen water.

A large antelope gored a zookeeper to death in Sweden.

Animals are reported to be attacking people out of desperation in Ethiopia. Probably attacking native as well on this one.

Monkeys defend themselves with violence in northern India.

Woman attacked by bull shark in the Bahamas

An elephant chases a jeep out of its territory in India.

Bear attacks colonist in so called Vermont.

Polar bear wounds a person in Norway.

A monk seal attacks someone in Hawaii

Bison and Elk are attacking people and stealing their pants in Eastern Shoshone, and Lakota territory.

A grizzly bear broke the spine of a long-distance cyclist in Assinaboine territory

An 11 year old boy was also bitten by a bull shark in Seminole territory. Bull sharks are handling their business.

Another man was killed by an alligator in South Carolina, Cherokee territory.

A so called U.S soldier was killed by a bear when the soldier approached its den in Alaska Tlinget, Innuit territory.

Great White shark takes out a colonist over the colonizers holliday in Pomo territory “California”.

Geese attack people every year. They consistently hold their own against humans.

Grizzly bear takes out another hiker in Montana, Crow, Blackfeet and Assinaboine territory

A bull moose attacked a dog sled team and fought the sledder and the dog team for an very intense hour long conflict.

I read Jeriah Bowsers book “Elements Of Resistance” and it talks about how animals do not use nonviolence. I would agree ive only ever seen domestic animals use nonviolence. You can see the evidence of the domestication of humans in the political climate. You can read more here.

Report Back Siletz River

Regarding the action to shut down hwy 101 at a strategic location to force concessions towards water quality and conservation was a massive success. Concessions are basically when the oppressor throws the people a bone partly because they are caving to the demands and pressure put on them by revolutionary elements who intend on doing more than put up water tests results and vote. tribal people who had been monitoring water quality and raising awareness. Raising awareness is a great first step it helps lay the groundwork for actual revolutionaries who should take up a cause later. So many people think raising awareness is the end all be all. Those people are incorrect. Raising awareness does nothing until people like me come along. A revolutionary element brings about change by force. The other reason is to save face and appear to be in the interest of the people. Those with Stockholms syndrome eat this up and people who never wanted to resist very hard are easily satisfied. Clearly the benefactors of the worlds largest and ongoing genocide do not and have never had the best interests of indigenous peoples in mind….. These changes are concessions brought about by force. That being said 34 million dollars was awarded to the state of so called “Oregon” and tribes for wastewater treatment.

What happened at the action that forced this? I previously released a statement saying openly what i was going to do as a warning that if not headed would bring about shut downs on hwy 101. When they were not headed i came back to make good on it. At a well scouted and strategically powerful location i set out to shut down Hwy 101. I scouted it so well that i was certain of some kind of victory before i committed to the action that i knew could potentially end me up in jail if i made too many wrong moves. I invited many tribal people and activists on the coast, I invited an indigenous motorcycle club, and militants from around Illahee but none showed up. I had committed in my mind to do this by myself if i had too which i knew was very dangerous. Just as i was about to do it myself a couple people showed up. Although only a few people showed up, my opposition is threatened by my alliances, they are extremely nervous that elements of the local salmon tribes and beyond will back me up on this and could be actually mobilized to take decisive action. We maneuvered oversized signs around a strategically powerful area backing up traffic for miles. Police showed up because colonists called them. The first police showed up and i was able to mentally dominate them and diffuse the situation. Traffic continued to be delayed. A young colonist tried to hit me with a vehicle. I dodged it like a bullfighter dancing around a bull and continued. I was playing recordings of Grandmother Agnes on a loudspeaker so people in the cars could hear her talking about the water and the salmon while i worked my magic. I wasn’t quite breaking the law but i bent the shit out of it severely. After a good while longer and having really backed the highway up for possibly 5 miles “Oregon” state troopers blitzkrieged my ass and threw me and one of my crew in handcuffs. There i was about to get cuffed and stuffed for the Salmon but i have training and this wasn’t my first rodeo. I convinced the police to release us on a technicality. I was able to relate as a human being but carefully without incriminating myself because you should never talk to cops. The police were shocked at how effective i was. They kept looking around and asking if i had more people with me. Almost like they didn’t think just the few of us could do all that. Also, kind of in a way that seemed to suggest why the hell didn’t I have more support because this was so ace. The officers decided that the law had not been broken and that i had only just bent the shit out of it severely. The officers said that they loved the salmon too and they released us. I thanked them for not roughing us up and we went on our way. Like an artist who understands how to use my palate. By this time Hwy 101 was at a complete stand still. We had secured a victory.

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both”.
Frederick Douglass

Who is to thank? Your champions are not who you would think.

1. A man who has defended forests and fought for the rights of the homeless and continues organize around a creative recycling program in Portland. He is known as Mo.

2. A non-native and a communist who loves the river and does not wish to be named.

3. Myself, War Chief Mko who has completed 300 actions and who’s dedication is unrivaled.

Whats next where do we go from here? Although this is one of our top achievements and we acknowledge it isn’t finished. This isn’t over yet we realize these are just concessions and we continue to build power for our own pan indigenous government who will one day rival the empire. Water quality is still being monitored by tribal people as well as the scientific community. We suspect one more wastewater treatment plant is still shitting on tribal people and poisoning the river with a mix of sewage, medical and industrial waste. I.S.R will lead an effort to shut them down too as soon as data comes back and the people fully back I.S.R pan indigenous government and our efforts by what is now our own department of natural resources within I.S.R. I.S.R as a government will implement our own environmental standards for the first time as the rightful stewards and revolutionary indigenous government.

Next is the lost art of self-determination. Some of the money that was given should be used for composting toilets that have already proven to save millions of gallons of water. They should be put in by the state who needs to be forced to have some kind of environmental standards. Their 1930s kkk laws have them embarrassingly shitting on indigenous people in 2022. Even rodents know not to defecate in their drinking water, but a colonist is lower than a rat therefore this and all efforts should be lead by the indigenous. We are asking that the existing tribal government of Siletz who has been reluctant to resist the poisoning of their own river now keep up their end. Siletz tribe could and should also put in composting toilets but this time flexing their tribal sovereignty to take it to the next level and start to produce a safe humanure. This humanure can safely be used for certain horticulture such as fruit trees or corn etc. The flushing toilet is only around 1000 years old. Ancient people just composted it. It is absolutely paramount that indigenous peoples who have input into how they run their own sovereign nations to flex on this and lead this decades late undertaking. We call for a massive increase in composting toilets by all indigenous nations. If this is not embraced by these nations it will serve as further proof of the necessity of a new pan indigenous government. One born of revolutionary struggle.
