How to erase a people: forcible transfer

How to erase a people

What Euro-American culture is a gas (CIA).

(uncivilized) [What is "erasure" but a nicer (euphemistic) word for genocide, ethnic cleansing, forcible transfer to concentration camps ("reservations") then into oblivion, forced r*pe and extinction, forced blending, coerced disappearance? Indigenous or Native American Indians were treated this way, and Europe noticed. Hitler used it in Nazi Germany eviction and extermination campaign against Ashkenazi Jews, and the descendants of those Jews became the Zionists who did the same or worse to the Native Palestinians/"Arabs" of the Lavant, saying European and Europeanized peoples had more of a right to the "holy" land and a legal right of return than the people who never left, who genetic testing proves have been there all along. What was once called a "Holocaust" (mass burning) for dramatic purposes, to show us as the greatest victims the world has ever known, to the Nakba ("catastrophe"), just another genocide on the pile of history books.]

Texas unveils giant 'monkey god' statue

Monkeys are fun-loving and inquisitive mammals

Astonishing photographs of a 90-foot statue of the Hindu God Lord Hanuman — the third largest statue in the U.S.A. — have been obtained by Newsweek, following the unveiling ceremony in Texas.

The monument, known as the Statue of Union, stands at the Sri Ashta Lakshmi Temple in Sugar Land, Texas. Lord Hanuman is depicted as human, but with the head and tail of a monkey, as is customary.

The statue is holding both hands palm forward (mudra) and the end of the tail is twisted above the head, creating a halo effect.

Hanuman is a Hindu god known for his power, courage, and selfless service. He is also a symbol of power and celibacy.

The statue's unveiling on Sunday marks rapidly changing religious demographics in the U.S., with surveys showing a decline in the proportion of Americans who identify as Christian and a rise in those who say they are "nothing in particular" (the NONEs) or belong to religions which are followed by a minority in the U.S.

Speaking to Newsweek Ranganath Kandala, joint secretary of the Ashtalakshmi Temple, confirmed the statue is 90-foot-tall and said it was inaugurated in a Pran Pratishtha ceremony on August 18, celebrating it as a living embodiment of the deity. USA's new 'third tallest' statue

The breathing life into the statue ceremony

Most famous American Hindu Julia Roberts

The Sanskrit word pratiṣṭhā, which in general usage means "placement" of a murti (embodied solid object), is translated by Apte as "the consecration of a vessel or dwelling" [3].

The adjective pratiṣṭha means "installed" [4]. Prana means "life force, breath, spirit." The phrase Prana Pratishtha is a ritual that means "placing the breath-of-life into the image to establish it" [WQ] or "bringing life to the temple" [2].

It is also referred to as murti sthapana (image placement inside the temple). Traditionally, this was the step when the eye of the murti was sculpted open [2], inside the inner sanctuary (garbhagriha, the Purusha space) of a Hindu temple.

Young Hindu sadhvi priestess

This ritual typically involves a devotional ritual (puja) and the chanting of Sanskrit mantras as the deity is moved from outside into the center place.

It includes inviting the deity to become a resident guest of the temple, bathing and cleansing it, similar to welcoming a revered guest after a long journey.

This is followed by dressing and seating the deity in a place of comfort, with the image's face oriented towards the east (signifying the sunrise), followed by a Nyasa ceremony with hymns (act of touching different parts of the murti, symbolizing the presence of various gods as sensory organs:

• Indra [Sakka] as the hand,
• Brahma as the heart,
• Surya [Sol, Helios] as the eyes, etc.) [1].

The Hindu priest recites specific mantras and performs rituals to infuse the idol with the animating life force or "holy spirit" (prana).

During this process, the deity descends into the idol, making it a living representation [5]. After the infusion of prana, the deity is considered blessed and consecrated.

Devotees often seek the deity's blessings at this point. The ritual also includes the spraying of scented water and flowers, with the Chaksu͡unmilan ceremony (Sanskrit chakshu unmilan, "opening of the divine eye"), marking the high point of the ritual [6]. The image is then considered fully consecrated. More

Jews in danger? US college antisemitism?

If 700 million Christians can be wrong on Israel, can one Jew who travels the world?

Jon Stewart: US made deal with Israel to control M.E.

.

In fear we kill, not in hate, so we must stay fearful
to win our genocidal Zionist war against Gentiles.

“Anti-Semitism is NOT happening”! Cloistered coward, hermit millionaire Howie Mandel cannot face the truth. His mind is BLOWN by the on-the-ground reality as seen by traveling Jewish standup comedian Ari Shaffir!

Who are the ultimate victims? Self-loving Jews. Why? Everyone hates us and is trying to kill us for being Jews. That’s what other Jews tell us! Why would they lie? To get more donations for Jewish causes and to build intragroup cohesion, solidarity, and outrage?

Howie, Reclaim Your Humanity

If one would listen to Jewish propaganda and relentless public relations campaigns (particularly from Jewish magazines and sources), one is certain to believe that antisemitism is always on the rise and only going up, that we are hated by the world and every college student (all of whom are members of HAMAS), that Xmas is an anti-Jewish psyops in the Western world, that Jewish Jesus who was crucified by Jews is a Greco-Roman conspiracy to foment hatred of Jews, and that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism.

Does Iran hate Jews and Jewish temples (synagogues)? No, it only opposes Zionism (the idea of returning to Palestine and killing and displacing all the other religions there) not Judaism. Ultra-Orthodox Jews are fine with Iran and Iranians, even meeting with them warmly.

Breakthrough (Richard Forer)

But Secular Jews out to kill Palestinians, Gazans, West Bankers, Jerusalemites, Lebanese, Jordanians, Qataris, Bedouins, Palestinian Christians, and anyone else.

Stand up comedian Ari Shaffir ("Jew") tries to school fellow Jew Howie Mandel -- a fearful, neurotic, nebbish, Canadian, rich, entitled, germophobe, consensus reality (illusion) addicted fearmonger.

"How can Ari not agree with the most cloistered person on earth?"

Rich Forer awoke from Jewish fear

"How can actually walking around in real life possibly compare to the fevered dreams of a millionaire hermit?"

Chief Nerd: "You can see Howie’s brain melting on this one."

"Lol, you mean you trust your own eyes, Ari? How dare you!"

If long gone Jews get Palestine, do Natives...

Are Ashkenazi Jews (Germans and Europeans claiming descent from people who long agon left the Middle East) entitled white supremacists, going into Palestine to conquer darker people and occupy them until a genocide is completed that erases indigenous people and replaces them with white foreign invaders masquerading as "God's chosen people" and attributing their land rights to their divine real estate agent?

Help! We're down to our last few nuclear bombs and jet fighters! Send money or you're a Nazi!

LatinoLand: A Portrait of America's Minority

Latino rebel Che Ernesto Guevara  in 1964 in Cuba (Srkcxixngcpgn)

Che Lynch Guevara, the Latino-Irish revolutionary, is a world-famous symbol of resistance.

It's not just Mexicans in former-Mexico (now the US Southwest). Latinos are diverse.

.

Latinos are not only Mexicans.

Marie Arana, author of LatinoLand: A Portrait of America's Largest and Least Understood Minority, which has 4.4 out of 5 stars after 17 ratings, was on AirTalk today.

It's a sweeping yet personal overview of the Latino [Hispanic, Latinx, Mexican, Central American, South American, Spanish-speaking] population of America, drawn from hundreds of interviews and prodigious research that emphasizes the diversity and little-known history of our largest and fastest-growing minority.

Why are so many U.S. Latinos Mexican? - Because this land used to be our neighbor Mexico.

.

LatinoLand is an exceptional, all-encompassing overview of Hispanic America based on personal interviews, deep research, and Marie Arana’s life experience as a Latina.

Ethnic Realities of Mexican Americans (Guevara Urbina)

At present, Latinos comprise 1/5th or 20 percent of the US population, a number that is growing quickly. By 2050, census reports project that one in every three Americans (33%) will claim Latino heritage.

But Latinos are not a monolith. They do not represent a single group. The largest numbers are Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Salvadorans, and Cubans.

There's a look called feo, fuerte, y formal.

Each group has a different cultural and political background. Puerto Ricans, for example, are US citizens, whereas some Mexican Americans never immigrated because they didn't cross the border. The border crossed them.

That is, the US-Mexico border shifted after the US invasion of Mexico in 1848, stealing what is now the entire southwest of the United States.

Are you a rich elite, Cruz? - Are you a poor prisoner, AOC? - FU, Ted. - No, you, you b*tch!

Our Lady of Guadalupe, La Virgen

Cubans came in two great waves, those escaping communism in the early years of Fidel Castro, many of whom were professionals, conservatives, and wealthy elites. The second wave were those permitted to leave in the Mariel boat lift 20 years later, representing some of the poorest Cubans, including prisoners.

As LatinoLand shows, Latinos were some of the earliest immigrants to what is now the US — some of them arriving in the 1500s.

They are racially diverse — a random fusion of white, Black, Indigenous, and Asian. Once overwhelmingly Catholic, they are becoming increasingly Protestant and Evangelical.

Who are the Dreamers in DACA?

They range from domestic workers and day laborers to successful artists, corporate CEOs, and US senators.

Formerly solidly Democratic, they now vote Republican in growing numbers. They are as varied culturally as any immigrants from Europe or Asia.

Author Arana draws on her own experience as the daughter of an American mother and Peruvian father who came to the US at age nine, straddling two worlds, as many Latinos do.

LatinoLand unabashedly celebrates Latino resilience and character and shows us why we must understand the fastest-growing minority in America. More

Latinos are fastest growing numerical minority in US – also the least understood?

Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo (MX)

It's predicted that by 2050, over 30% of the U.S. population will have some Latino heritage. Despite a growing population, a lot is still unknown about the diverse fabric of this demographic group. Author Marie Arana (mariearana.net) takes up this topic in her new book LatinoLand: A Portrait of America's Largest and Least Understood Minority. The product of extensive research and personal experience, Arana attempts to understand and celebrate Latinos in America and their rich and varied contributions to the foundation of this country. She joins us today on AirTalk to discuss her new book.

The Trouble in Buddhist Burma (doc)

Inside a Military Dictatorship (Myanmar documentary) | Real Stories

(Real Stories) Nov. 19, 2023: Burma/Myanmar’s path to democracy leads along the bumpy road of a 50-year military dictatorship. Long stretches were traversed with the incomparable endurance of the hopes of Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.

Finally in power after more than 20 years of house arrest, the grave human rights violations by the country against the Muslim minority of the Rohingya [who long ago sided with the British and were defeated, leading to hatred by many in the country who regarded them as foreigners from neighboring Bangladesh and traitors who fought against the Burmese] nevertheless continue across the country.

• [When finally in power and asked about the Rohingya, Aung San Suu Kyi spoke like a politician or a person in denial about the military's atrocities with regard to the Rohingya ethnic minority. She fell from grace in the eyes of the West and presumably the rest of the world, while still loved by the Burmese people who are barred from having her rise to lead the country because the military dictators behind the scenes and now in front again have made laws the forbid it.]

Myanmar provides the setting for a seemingly absurd political power game. Filmmaker Karen Stokkendal Poulsen pointed her camera at the former peace icon and the retired generals to provide a captivating investigative exploration of the opposing coexistence of a woman and the military.

The story of a political miracle which, unfortunately, ceased to be one.

Teacher of year molests student, rearrested

Meet me afterschool? - A male teacher? No way!

Is it just us or are Asians -- the reputed "model minority" who work so hard to curry the favor of whites -- really coming into their own in America? Mass murdering, child molesting, thieving, drug dealing, mafia activity, Academy Award winning, best actressing, everything. Pres. Biden is in the San Gabriel Valley (Los Angeles, California) at this very moment clogging up traffic in the Pineapple Express downpour and the flooding it's causing because he wants to use recent tragedies at a dance studio, where an old Asian man shot up a dance studio and became a notorious mass murderer. Joe is going to use the bad news to promote anti-gun bills to deprive citizens of their weapons while loading police and criminals up with more and more powerful firearms. An Asian teacher child molester? Why is it when men do it, we're horrified, but when women do, it's a marvel? "Man bites dog" headline? Jacquie Ma's case was featured in the True Crime Tuesday segment of GAS (Gary and Shannon | iHeart).

Teacher of the Year Ma was first arrested on Tuesday [3/7/23] on several charges of sexual misconduct with a child under 14-years-old. National City Police detectives said their investigation into the sex case continued, and they developed probable cause to re-arrest Ma on additional felony charges.

According to records from the San Diego Sheriff's Department, Ma was booked on 14 new felony charges including:

• two counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14-years old
• seven counts of possession of obscene [pornographic] matter depicting a minor engaging in sexual conduct
• four counts of knowingly developing, duplicating, printing, or exchanging child pornography
• one count of intimidating a witness or victim.

Militant MONKS in Myanmar (video)

An Unholy Alliance: Monks and the Military in Myanmar

(Al Jazeera English, March 18, 2019) With almost 90 percent of Myanmar/Burma's population being devoted Theravada Buddhists, the religion [like neighboring Thailand] has been at the heart of the nation's very identity for centuries.

Sometimes monks gotta do "stuff" (CIA).

But while the pillars of Buddhist teachings are love (metta), compassion, and peace, there is a very different variation to the philosophy being taught at the Ma Ba Tha ("Patriotic Association of Myanmar") monastery in Yangon/Rangoon's Insein township.

The monks there are connected to one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, the systematic persecution and genocide of the Rohingya Muslim minority in Rakhine state.

Al Jazeera's unprecedented access to the Ma Ba Tha monastery and its leaders offers a glimpse into how their ultra-nationalist agenda is becoming the blueprint for the political structure of the country.

Is the joining of forces between monks and the dictatorial generals threatening Myanmar's young and fragile parliamentary democracy that incorporates Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi?

Free Speech, Hate Speech, or Right Speech?

LA.Shambhala.org/program...; Saffron Revolution in Burma VJ; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly

Free Speech, Hate Speech, Right Speech: Communication in the Age of Social Media: A Conversation with Ven. Ashin Issariya

"The Buddha also made right speech a core principle of the Noble Eightfold Path. He stressed the importance of establishing a gentle and compassionate attitude when interacting with others. However, right speech may also involve more pro-active engagement."

- Ven. Ashin Issariya

In this age of social media, where the right of free speech has seemingly spawned a proliferation in hate speech resulting harmful acts, what can the Buddhist principles of Right Speech teach us about how we can begin to work with our minds, speech, and actions?

How can we promote kind, compassionate, courageous dialogue and communication around difficult subjects and conflicts rather than give into the laziness of aggression and hatred?

Join this special evening with Burmese Theravada monk Ven. Ashin Issariya, whose own courageous speaking out against the hate speech used against Muslim Rohingya in his own country, Burma/Myanmar, is a model of bravery and right action.
