Last Sunday night at Standing Rock, with fellow veterans at their camp. They established a command team and an operational TOC, and are assisting with safety and security operations in the camp. I’m honoured to have met these incredible veterans, who inspire as they continue their mission of service. They are in this for the long haul, planning to stay until the drilling pad and construction equipment are removed.

The top image is of militarised police of the sort set out by the oligarchs to beat and abuse the protestors. As Jay Gould put it, “I’ll hire half the working-class to beat the other half”. These men serve evil… if you serve evil, your goodness becomes weaker and weaker. This is the “conservative” mindset (especially noxious are so-called “paleocons”… they came up with the racist “Southern Strategy”). Evil strides across our land in ten-league boots; it calls itself “Conservative” and “Christian” (it’s why anti-religion is growing in the USA… true Christians must distance themselves from “Evangelical” sectarians or risk being lumped in with them).

The second image is of military veterans who are onsite with the First Nations protestors at Standing Rock. These people serve good… if you serve good, your bad impulses become weaker and weaker. This is Justice… Equity… Conservation… Fairness… everything that the “Conservative” Moloch opposes. These people stand on the barricades defending us from “Conservative” rapine and greed. They stand for everything that our Church truly teaches (our Church is NOT the plaything of the rightwing loudmouths, as much as that appears to be so here in the diaspora).

You must stand with one side or the other. You can choose Evil or you can choose Good. There’s no way around it; there’s no “middle ground”. Note well that the Fathers-quoting fanatics amongst us have chosen Evil. Yes… they chose it, with their eyes open. Remember what Our Lord said of those who claimed to have served Him and what His response was. Yes… the fate of our immortal souls are in the balance. Choose wisely…

4 December 2016. DAPL Stopped… FOR NOW… Will Trump Reverse the Order?

____________________________________

There’s much glee about the supposed rerouting of the DAPL by the Army Corps of Engineers. I’d say that it’s much too early to break out the bubbly. Trump will take office in six weeks, and he’s got his own money invested in the pipeline. Furthermore, he’s an asshat who enjoys suckerpunching people. Therefore, just because Obama and the Corps of Engineers rejected the present route, doesn’t mean that Trump won’t reverse that order. There’s no call for any celebration yet. It’s time to organise… for when the plug-uglies pull a fast one (it’s not a question of “if”). Besides, the Corps didn’t nix the pipeline, it merely rerouted it, which means that DAPL is still a threat to the environment. I’d point up that’s there’s no call for joy in Mudville, yet. There’s every chance that the oligarchs are planning a riposte, with their boy in office. Have a care… the times are evil…

The First Nations won a reprieve for the time being, not a lasting victory (sad to say).

Don’t Forget Standing Rock

00-usa-standing-rock-protest-211116

____________________________________

Police are shooting rubber bullets and water cannon at the Standing Rock Sioux and peaceful #NoDAPL protesters in -3 degree (27 degrees Fahrenheit) weather. What’s happening at Standing Rock is nothing short of state-sponsored violence in the name of oil rights and corporate profits. The DOJ must immediately launch an investigation into the continuing human rights abuses being committed in North Dakota. Peaceful protest is a human right.

30 October 2016. They’re NOT “Tribes”… They’re “Nations”… Treat Them That Way

00-trail-of-tears-160916

____________________________________

The First Nations are precisely that… “Nations”… “Nationalities”… NOT “Tribes”. Note well how the Anglos treated and still treat them. It shows Anglo rhetoric to be hypocrisy and lies. What does that tell you about Anglos? Nothing good, I’d warrant… they did acquit the Bundys even though they seized public property by force of arms, didn’t they? It shows you that all-too-many Anglos still worship violence, armed coercion, a twisted definition of “freedom” (“I get to do what I want and you can’t say a thing about it”), and anarchic chaos (but stacked in favour of them, natch). Their “Exceptionalism” is evil of the highest order, their rants that America is “Indispensable” fly in the face of history, their claims that America is the absolute hegemon in the world are absurd and derisory, and their submission that they’re the sole moral actors in the world is vile and drooling pretence.

Stop the Dakota Access Pipeline… there are other routes for it. It’s nothing but the physical expression of Anglo hubris, arrogance, and greed. God do spare us…
