Every Native tribe in USA named (22 mins)

Europeans, particularly the Germans, know a lot about the Natives the USA killed off.
(Discover America) Every Indigenous Native American tribe named in 22 minutes

Indigenous were everywhere on this continent
The U.S. genocide of 100,000,000 (one hundred million) decimated the Indigenous population of the people's land for people with land but wanting another different one. Welcome, "Pilgrims" (Occupiers), "Settlers" (invaders), friends and comrades against other European occupiers and exploiters from England and France and Spain.

Who are the 'real' Mexicans? DNA evidence

Wait, what? We have our ancient Indigenous DNA still inside, with little Euro contribution?

Bad Bunny's HIDDEN Halftime message

Trump, Lindsay Graham at Super Bowl party watching Bad Bunny', not Kid Rock's TPUSA

The Dhammapada
Why did Bad "Benito" Bunny quote the Buddha at the Grammys and the Super Bowl? It's a good message. In the Dhammapada the Buddha:

"Hatred is never appeased by hatred in the world. By love (non-hatred) alone is hatred appeased. This is a timeless truth." (Dhp 1.5)

It's a way of saying that the ONLY thing more powerful than seething hatred (dosa) is cooling love (metta).
When the Buddha says, "This is a timeless truth," also translated as "eternal law," he is saying that it is nothing new to say so. Everyone knows or has known it; it has been taught before and will be taught again; it is not a truth that belongs to anyone.

Leaders are super friends, but not followers?
Surely, other doctrines and teachers teach and have taught this -- Jesus, Mohammed, Krishna, Medicine Women, tribal chieftains, and others. An atheist sitting in silence might even come to realize it.

Fire isn't really fought with fire, unless one doesn't mind more burning. Water wouldn't get rid of water without leaving extra water around. Sure, "like cures like" in homeopathy (and in Louis Pasture's discovery), but how does it do it?

No, you dummies, not water! "Fight fire with fire!" Drop more flames on top of these flames!
.
Fire! Burn, burn, burn! Burn it all down!
It does it by provoking a powerful opposite response. Firefighters know that we can burn grass off to stop a raging forest fire, thus depriving it of fuel to continue. That seems like fire fighting fire, but it's actually cleverness fighting it. And it is soon extinguished with what, more fire? No, with non-fire. Calming cool replaces raging heat.

In homeopathy, the very thing that is troubling one, like an allergen, can be intensified (by what looks like dilution but is actually rarefication and sublimation) by provoking the body to realize what it is up against and using its natural abilities to counteract it.

Another summary of the show

Q: What's the best way to do away with and be rid of an enemy? Hmmm. Think. A: Make that person a friend. That would end it right there.

Wouldn't it be so great to get along with the Spanish-speaking Americans we invade, colonize, and then discriminate against? Maybe one day Puerto Ricans could be "Americans." (Oh, they are? Well, there you go. Success!)

Slavery ended Feb 1, 1865? 13th Amendment


Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
We are all taught to celebrate Juneteenth (June 19th) as if that were when the USA abolished slavery. But that happened with the ratification of the 13th Amendment on Feb. 1, 1865. Of course, the American government didn't bother to tell slaves and thereby free them. But that is when it became de jure (by law) illegal. De facto (by fact) we still have slavery in many forms -- human trafficking, working convicts, secretly employing the vulnerable, sexual trafficking of women, children, and boys...


What do you mean you want to rape/enslave me?
There may have been more Native American (Indigenous, "Indians," Amerindians) slaves than Blacks or African imports. Most of them were worked to death or contaminated with diseases they had no immunity to deal with, and they are rarely spoken of; however, historians have documented this fact.

And when the USA invaded the Old West using the "Monroe Doctrine" and "manifest destiny" as pretexts, it stole half of the land that was Mexico, under Spanish rule. So a large part of this country is in fact Mexico except that "might makes right."

Black in America: Juneteenth 2025

If Jesus Christ (Saint Issa in India) were Black from Northern Africa (Egypt/Palestine)
Juneteenth has its own flag after many years of quiet celebration in the USA

What is "Juneteenth"?
Cultural riches hidden from us all
Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the US celebrated annually on June 19th to commemorate the ending of legal slavery in the United States.

The holiday's name, first used in the 1890s, is a portmanteau of the words "June" and "nineteenth," referring to June 19, 1865, the day when Major General Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War [8, 9].

In the Civil War period, slavery was brought to an end in various areas of the United States of America at different times. Many enslaved Blacks in the South escaped, demanded wages, stopped work, or even took up arms against the Confederacy of slave states.

We were lied to by the US gov't about Blacks
In January 1865, the U.S. Congress finally proposed the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution for the national abolition of slavery.

By June 1865, almost all enslaved persons had been freed by the victorious Union Army or by state abolition laws. When the national abolition amendment was ratified in December, the remaining enslaved people in Delaware and in Kentucky were freed.

Early Juneteenth celebrations date back to 1866, at first involving church-centered community gatherings in Texas. They spread across the South among newly freed African-Americans and their descendants and became more commercialized in the 1920s and 1930s, often centering on a food festival.

One Day, Everyone Will Have
Participants in the Great Migration brought these celebrations to the rest of the country. During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, these celebrations were eclipsed by the nonviolent determination to achieve civil rights but grew in popularity again in the 1970s with a focus on African-American freedom and African-American arts.

Beginning with Texas by proclamation in 1938, and by legislation in 1979, every U.S. state and the District of Columbia has formally recognized the holiday in some way.

Juneteenth is also celebrated by the Mascogos, descendants of Black Seminoles who escaped from slavery in 1852 and settled in Coahuila, Mexico [10].

The day was recognized as a federal holiday in 2021... More

Easy read: Orwell's 1984 graphic novel

1984: The Graphic Novel
One of the most influential books of the 20th century gets the "graphic" [think hardcover comic book] treatment in this first-ever adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984.


"War is Peace * Freedom is Slavery * Ignorance is Strength."
In 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching citizens and the Thought Police can practically read minds with their constant surveillance.


What is this, a comic book, pulp fiction?
Protagonist Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that he has a conscience and a memory that still functions.

Drawn into a forbidden love affair with Junior Anti-Sex League beauty Julia, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called the "Brotherhood," dedicated to the destruction of the totalitarian Party.

Together they hazard their lives in a deadly match against the powers that be -- having sex to stick it to the State.

With evocative, immersive art from Fido Nesti, this vision of George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece provides a new perspective for longtime fans but is also an accessible entry point for young readers and adults who have yet to discover the iconic story that is still so relevant today (and growing more relevant under Trump and cellphone technology).

  • Animals in Buddhism
  • To herald the coming birth of the Future Buddha, pregnant Queen Maya dreamed that she conceived of Prince Siddhartha when a white double tusker royal elephant entered her side: Queen Maya's Dream
  • In Buddhism, elephants get names like Parileyya and Girimekhala, usually after the woods in which they reside.

Conscious elephants in Buddhism: The Full Moon Honey Offering Festival

Animal karma (deeds) also bear karmic results
The Honey-Offering Festival is a Buddhist religious ceremony that commemorates the service and sustenance provided by animals to the Buddha.

It was during the Buddha's tenth Rains Retreat (Vas or Vassa) in Parileyya Forest.

According to legend, during his retreat to solitude, a wild monkey brought an offering of a honeycomb to give to the Buddha to eat, as an elephant named Parileyya brought fruit and protected the Buddha from fierce animals in the forest.

The 31 Planes of Existence
When the Buddha accepted the gift of the honeycomb, the monkey became so overjoyed that he began to leap from tree to tree, and in his exuberance fell to his death due to his reckless jubilation. However, because of his generous gift, that monkey was immediately reborn on a celestial plane called the World of the Thirty-Three (Tavatimsa), the second of the six heavens in the Sensual Sphere (below many other heavens of the Fine Material Sphere and Immaterial Sphere).

Since these events are believed to have taken place on the day of the full moon, the occasion has come to be commemorated as Madhu Purnima, or “Honey Full Moon.” The festival is observed on the full moon of the tenth lunar month in Theravada Buddhist countries in South and Southeast Asia. More

Conscious elephant karma
The “Four Harmonious Friends,” Bhutan
The Commentaries (e.g., DhA.i.48ff.; iv.26 ff. UdA.250f.; see Thomas, op. cit., 117 n) say that the elephant's name was Pārileyya (also Pārileyyaka) and describe in vivid detail the manner in which the elephant looked after the Buddha, omitting nothing, even to the extent of finding hot water for his bath.

Later, when the Buddha's attendant Ananda came with many others to invite the Buddha to return to Sāvatthi, the elephant Pārileyyaka provided all of them with alms food. The Buddha agreed and returned.

But such was the attachment the elephant had formed toward the Buddha that he died of a broken heart when the Buddha left the forest.

However, as a result of all his good deeds (wholesome karma) toward these enlightened beings, he was immediately reborn as a deva (angel, offspring of the gods) in Tāvatimsa in a golden palace (vimana, mansion) said to be 30 leagues high, where he is now known as Pārileyyaka devaputta.

This elephant is also identified with the elephant in the Bhisa Jātaka (J.iv.314). Source
