Some years ago I was working for a small Indian Center
located in San Luis Obispo County California. Among the projects we were
working on was the development of Title IV Indian Education projects in
the school districts in Central California. We were having a lot of
trouble convincing the school administrators to do the student count and
apply for the funds to develop the programs.
About the same time, I went to an Indian Education conference in
Sacramento and happened to speak with an Indian educator about our
difficulties. She told me a story about a study that had been done a few
years before about Indian students and their performance in public
schools. The study, she said, had shown that Indian students did as well
or better than non-Indian students until they reached the third grade.
After the third grade, the grades and test scores of Native American
students took a nose dive and all of us know the rest of that story; high
drop out rates, low grades, difficulties getting into college, and so on.
The sponsors of the study wondered, why third grade? Turns out, that is
when they began teaching history.
Through the years I have looked for that study and have not been able to
find it, but know from personal experience that it is true.
I went to a small Catholic school in Kansas and vividly recall my initial
lessons in American history. Sister Ancilla was teaching the class and
since the first lessons were about Indians, I was interested.
I remember one of the first stories was about how those "savages" had
attacked and burned the wagons of the "innocent women and children" whose
only intent was to settle on farms and "tame the wilderness." The nun gave
rather graphic details about Indian scalping and slaughter and I went home
with those pictures in my mind.
There at home, in the kitchen as I did my homework, was one of those same
savages and she was wielding a butcher knife, cutting up some chickens for
supper.
Now, I knew I was Indian, my family was Indian, but for some reason it
stuck in my head that my mama was a "real Indian." And she had a knife.
And she was rather skilled with the intricacies of slicing apart some
innocent chickens. I recall wondering if she had the same facility or
desire when it came to defenseless white settlers.
As I tried to focus on my homework, I kept one eye on my dear old mama as
she flipped the chicken this way and that. There was a moment when she
laid one of the legs down and whacked it clean through the joint in one
hard stroke. I jumped. My own scalp tingled at the thought that my mama
and her relatives in the past had done that very same thing to innocent
women and children.
I have long since grown out of that fear and the end of that particular
day of sidelong glances at my mother and her skill with a knife at cutting
up chickens and settlers ended on an emotional note. I told her what
Sister Ancilla had said. She cried.
My mama cried for what she had experienced in hearing those powerful and
hurtful words in her own life. She cried also that her own son would be
made afraid of his mother on the basis of a word, some lies told in
defense of Manifest Destiny, a term she never, ever, understood.
Near where my mother grew up is Tecumseh, Oklahoma and the name of their
high school team, their mascot, is the Savages. When I lived near there, I
would often see Indian people wearing t-shirts and hats which carried the
name of the team.
The local tribes, Shawnee, Kickapoo, Sac and Fox, and my own tribe, the
Potawatomi, do nothing to change the name of that team or the dozens of
others throughout the state. There are Indians across the United States
who think that working to change the names of these mascots is a trivial
issue and not worth our time and effort.
Yes, health care is important, but so is education. And the mascot issue
is not so much about the names of teams. For me, it is about the fear and
ignorance engendered by the use of those names. It is about being eight
years old and hearing the word savage and then going home and finding one,
with a knife, slicing up a chicken to feed her kids.
Those words are lies and Indian people who want to wear lies as a banner
of pride must remember that they just might scare the self- respect right
out of their own children.
I was lucky. My mama and I talked about it and I can still remember her
holding me as she cried about the ignorance of a society that treats us
something less than human. And I still remember her words. "Oh Johnny,"
she said softly, " I am not a savage."
This is a crazy world. What can be done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that
we can control government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel Bauer,
told the secret of controlling the government of a nation over 200 years ago. He said, "Permit me
to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws." Get the picture?
Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for each individual. Not only does
this end personal debt, it places the people first in line as creditors to the National Debt ahead
of the banks. They don't wish for you to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really
are in A
New Beginning: A Practical Course in Miracles, an informational study.

"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a
lie." (II Thessalonians 2:11)
Quicktime Movie
to help you to stay centered and peaceful in the midst of war and hate in a
chaotic world..
"I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on
Israel, we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it." -- Ariel
Sharon to Shimon Peres, October 3rd, 2001, as reported on Kol Yisrael radio.
What Can I Do? Your power is actually infinite, but your programming has you
believing that you are weak and vulnerable. It also depends upon whether your sense
of WHO you are is limited to the "what" that you are.. While necessary to keep our eyes on the prize, we must
nevertheless keep our eyes on what can we do each day, each hour, to avert this
catastrophe and yet remain detached from the 3-D experience to watch ourselves
having this experience.
Stop Praying for Peace
but Paying for War!!!
How do you strike at the root? You've probably heard the aphorism, "Money is the
root of all evil." Well, it's truer than you might have suspected. For over 300
years the Illuminati,
comprised of the world's richest families, the international bankers and
financiers, have been playing
both ends against the middle by implementing
wars in which armaments and men are needed on both sides. Financing for
these great expenditures comes from the Illuminatist
Bankers and Financiers. War
weakens both countries and the Illuminati step in to buy property and
influence. When the wars are over armaments must be replaced and the
devastation of war must be repaired. They
make money at the beginning, in the middle and in the end.
So how can you strike at this root of oppression
and violence?
Take back your power, cancel
the illegal contracts that you've been conned
into signing, eliminate
credit card debt, use
your credit that the US government has been
using as collateral against their
enormous debt, your
birthright. It's been stolen, misappropriated,
and you've never even been told that it even
exists. By presumption, the US government
has held YOU as collateral for their wasteful
spending on wars and oppressive conquest....truly
IN YOUR NAME! You've been praying for peace
while paying for war. That is not a clear
spiritual or patriotic action, rather like
sitting on the fence. Regardless of your
vote, your conscience, you've been paying
for war and oppression
of others while praying for peace. You
have a choice to legally and honorably end
your forced dilemma.
Are you concerned about the morality of eliminating your debts? What you don't
know is that by accepting the illusion of banks LOANING money, you have fallen into
the trap of supporting oppression and war. Vote with your MONEY! Take back your
credit you have let them use YOUR WHOLE LIFE!. Take back the energy you have loaned
THEM to load the dice against peace. Yes. You did! Find out how and then ACT NOW!
In fear of your government you have accepted their authority to levy taxes.
In mid- August 2003, Vernice Kuglin of Memphis, Tennessee, was acquitted by a jury
of her peers of the IRS charge of tax evasion. She had been studying the tax code for
several years looking for the statute that said that she must pay
taxes or file income tax forms. Not finding any, she wrote two letters to
the IRS asking them to help her find the authorization for the IRS to
collect taxes from her. They didn't answer either letter. Eight years later,
Vernice was ordered to stand trial. She won. The IRS could not provide the
legal citation. Paying taxes is paying for
war and oppression, murder and torture, exploitation and crime. You have
options to end that moral dilemma. We can
provide you with those options and the coaching to implement them.
But how would the country pay for the needed services and infrastructure? Who would
pay for the roads, elder care, education? There are two answers to that
illusory dilemma. First, you must understand that the governments at all
levels--national, state, county, city, even school districts--have been keeping two
sets of books. The accounting system usually seen by the public is the budget
and the required taxes to fund the items on the budget. You will not find the
gross revenues in these public documents. Hidden in what was once called the
Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report, are the gross revenues
from investments, loans, and other funds controlled by the government
officials. These are usually far in excess of the revenue needed to facilitate the
budget. Taxes
are actually not needed. Several years ago Orange County, California proclaimed
a budgetary crisis warning of the probability of a terrible bankruptcy. When
someone pointed out their gross revenues the problem disappeared from the news
immediately.
The second answer to the question, "How would we pay for the needed services and
infrastructure if no one paid taxes?" is to understand our
illegal money system. Few people know the history or the nature of the Federal
Reserve System. With "Federal" in the name, most people assume it is an
arm of the Federal Government. Actually, the Federal
Reserve is no more "Federal" than Federal Express. A private corporation, Its
Board of Directors are the primary financiers, the international bankers, known as
the
Illuminati- -Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Warburg's, etc. They RENT Federal
Reserve Notes to the US government as a loan, even though the printing was done
by the US Government for pennies on the dollar. This IS the
New World Order being formed under your nose, piece by piece, and you are
paying for it. You can begin a shift to another private money system that is supported by REAL
VALUE, independent of the Illuminati and Zionist bankers and manipulators.
You say you don't have time, you've got to earn money to keep afloat? Go to the ACT NOW
page for ideas to strike at the root while providing for your needs. This is a
battle that you cannot afford to lose unless freedom and life itself have no
meaning for you and your loved ones. This is not alarmist. This is an alarm
sounding. I don't have a horse or the time to trot about and shout that the
redcoats are coming.
They are here and they are in control.
Reliance on pharmaceuticals and the "Western" Medical Model of health-care is
hazardous to your health. Vaccinations can and
will be used against you. Not all long clouds in the sky are . Food products are
contaminated with Genetically
Modified Organisms IN THE FOOD itself and has caused cancer and other medical
problems.
Talk to other people. Let them know what you know or question what you have learned
to question. Your informed conversation will let them know that they are not alone
in wishing for peace so that they can have the courage to speak, too.
Show them some of the ways you have discovered to help take your power and your
country back.
Let Congress know how angry you are. Forget emails or FAX, CALL. a congressman
every day. Be polite. Do not threaten. Tell them firmly that what is happening is
NOT OK.. Tell your friends to do the same. Tell them to tell THEIR friends
and so on and so on. Go to Thomas
Legislative Information web site for contact information.
Most importantly, get informed about the
New World Order Agenda. The torture of Iraqi prisoners was SET UP to turn the
Islamic world against the US. When the Islamic states shift from US Dollars for the
medium of exchange in the petroleum market, the US economy will take a steep plunge
and so will much of the rest of the world economy. Then people who were not
prepared will become dependent upon the good will of the New World Order. Many will
die. Now that they have control of most of our resources and have used us to fight
their wars, they will discard America as their superpower support as we become
their virtual colony. The last bastion of freedom will have lost its capacity to
respond to the coming despotism of the New World Order. I apologize if this sounds
grim. It just is. 911 has
shown us the face of the New World Order.
911 was truly a wake up call if you are sharp enough to comprehend. |

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the
animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or
your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly
upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." -
Samuel Adams
"My country, If right, to be kept right, and, if wrong, to be set right. The American
people" Schurz continued, "should be specially careful not to permit themselves to be
influenced in their decisions by high-sounding phrases of indefinite meaning, by vague
generalities, or by seductive catchwords appealing to unreasoning pride and reckless
ambition. More than ever, true patriotism now demands the exercise of the soberest
possible discernment." Senator Carl Schurz
[1800s]
