Guns 'n kids in settler colonial US, Israel

America’s firearm culture
 |
| Some whites sold us guns, and some shot us. |
As Europeans encountering Native Americans and wiping them out to make room for our settler occupier colonial project, our enslavement of Natives and Blacks, the civil war, and our ascent as the world’s first hyper-superpower. (Move over, England and Rome).
 |
| We played with guns as kids, and now we play with them for real aimed at Palestinians. |
 |
| We are a Christian nation of gun lovers ready to shoot the Darkies. With Jews. |
.
 |
| We can't wait to buy more guns! |
However, even this militarized history is not enough to explain why Americans suffer from the worst gun violence in the industrialized world.
Other settler colonial projects have as many guns per capita (such as our neighbor to the north) with only a fraction of the gun crime.
As of 2014, for every 100 Americans there are a staggering 90 privately owned guns. It's worse now.
The mass proliferation of firearms exercises a tyrannical hold over the American imagination.It is both a cause and an effect of the many social problems afflicting the nation.
With the country in political and ideological gridlock (and add to the mix the vested interests and lobbies with too much business to lose like the NRA or National Rifle Association), how can there be any resolution to the mass proliferation of firearms and US gun crimes?
 |
| Look, I'm just like Jewish Jesus but in a flag bikini! |
While wars of self-defense and geopolitical deceit are a reality of samsara, it is basically impossible for Buddhism to defend the arms trade in any form.
Dealing in weapons, people, poisons, animal flesh, or alcohol are the five kinds of trade the Buddha specifically warned against, labeling them "wrong livelihood," yet this is how so much ill-gotten gain is accrued by people who could care less about accruing terrible unskillful karma.
Guns loom large in our national imagination.
 |
| Look, everybody, look! I'm an "American" like in the movies! Bam bam, bam bam! |
 |
| My mom got me this jacket, my stepdad this Uzi. |
 |
| I can't believe they give us guns and tell us to kill Natives. We're teens raised on propaganda. |
 |
| We join for camaraderie and to become desensitized to the dirty desert rats' suffering. |
 |
| Our settler colonial project is almost complete. Now destroy West Bank, purge Jerusalem! |
 |
| To be, uh, masculine in Israel and get girls, must be killer with gun exterminating vermin. |
 |
| Kids, kill for the Fatherland, a Jewish state we can steal. The Bible says they're Amalek. |
.
Yet it is upheld as the nation's founding myth. The capabilities and symbolism of guns, from plastic pistols (Glocks) to semi-automatic AR-style rifles to modified fully automatic military guns, continue to exert such an irresistible allure that the more deaths that occur from shootings, the higher gun sales rise.

Who do you watch?/ Who's your leader? Which is your flock?/ Who do you watch? Who do you watch?/ (REPEAT)/ Who's your leader? Which is your flock?/ (REPEAT)/

Sharon Ward describes how intergenerational trauma rippled forward, turning her once-gentle mother into a raging alcoholic as soon as Westerners told Indigenous women they could legally drink alcohol in 1966, pulling her family into desperate poverty and more and more abuse by the system.
Despite Sharon Ward's own struggles — including navigating cultural identity and language barriers — she found her way through a 40-year healing journey rooted in Ojibwe spiritual tradition, self-forgiveness (particularly trying to overcome shame), and the belief that every person has a sacred purpose.
She culminates with a message of resilience: that some Creator or Great Spirit only allows people to face only what they are strong enough to bear, sharing her story serving as part of the work she was put on Earth to do.

Nat'l Hispanic Heritage Month (9/15-10/15)
 |
| Maybe Sofia Vergara should speak for US Hispanics |
 |
| Crystal Quintero, the Mexican Buddhist (WQ) |
The growing Latinx (Latina and Latino combined) population, popularly referred to as Hispanic (descended from Spain) is too big to be contained in one month. So we take up two, the second half of September and the first half of October.
It might have been better to claim November with its mass celebration of el Dia de los Muertos or "the Day of the Dead," which is quickly becoming the new Cinco de Mayo, the American celebration of "Mexican Independence Day."
Of course, Independence Day actually falls not on the 5th of May (cinco de mayo) but on Sept. 16th (el Grito de Dolores, "Cry of Dolores," which being a place rather than a person called Dolores, should perhaps be rendered "Shout from Dolores," a word that literally means "pains" as in birth pangs) at the beginning of National Hispanic Heritage Month. What do most Americans want, fanatical popularity or technical accuracy?
If "we are what we eat," can I be Mexican by eating real Mexican food?

| Plant-Based Mexican Recipes for Healing |
More than a cookbook, Decolonize Your Diet restores what "traditional" Mexican food means by reaching back through centuries of history to reclaim heritage crops as a source of protection from modern diseases-of-development. It was compiled by partners, California professors, and co-authors Luz Calvo and Catriona Rueda Esquibel.
When Calvo was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, they both radically changed their diets and began seeking out recipes featuring indigenous, healthy, vegetarian Mexican foods.
 |
| Did Mossad bring Mexico under Jewish rule? |
This led to the promotion of a diet rich in plants indigenous to the Americas (amaranth, maize, beans, squash, greens, herbs, and seeds) and a passionate idea that Latinxs in America, specifically Mexicans, need to ditch the colonial garbage, synthetic, artificial, and toxic fast food and return to their own culture's food roots for physical health and spiritual fulfillment.
This vegan and vegetarian cookbook features over 100 colorful recipes based on Mesoamerican cuisine and also includes contributions from indigenous cultures throughout the Americas. It is a winner of the International Latino Book Award for Best Cookbook. More

History
 |
| What have Mexicans ever done? |
In 1988, the commemorative week was expanded to a month (September 15 to October 15) by legislation sponsored by Rep. Esteban Torres (D–CA), amended by Sen. Paul Simon, and signed into law by Republican Pres. Ronald Reagan [3].
September 15th was chosen as the starting point for the commemoration because it is the anniversary of the Cry of Dolores (early morning, Sept. 16, 1810), which marked the start of the Mexican War of Independence.
 |
| The original Mexican flag (1821) had no snake |
The 30-day period also includes many dates of importance in the Hispanic (Spain-descended) community:
- Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua celebrate their anniversary of independence on Sept. 15;
- Mexico commemorates its independence on Sept. 16;
- Chile commemorates its independence on Sept. 18;
- the celebration day of reviled Jewish terrorist and Converso Cristobal Columbus (an Anus'i or Marrano), formerly known as
Columbus Daynow Día de la Raza [7]. More
