First 'Thanks-taking' was US genocide


Lakota historian on Thanksgiving, settler colonialism, continuing Indigenous resistance
(Democracy Now!) Nov. 28, 2024: Lakota historian Nick Estes talks about the violent origins of Thanksgiving and his book Our History Is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance. "This history…is a continuing history of genocide, of settler colonialism and, basically, the founding myths of this country," says Estes, who is a co-founder of the Indigenous resistance group The Red Nation and a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.

Our History Is the Future
Our History Is the Future features a new afterword by Nick Estes about the rising Indigenous campaigns to protect the environment from extractive industries and to shape new ways of relating to one another and the world.

In this award-winning book, Estes traces traditions of Indigenous resistance leading to the present campaigns against fossil fuel pipelines, such as the Dakota Access Pipeline Protests, from the days of the Missouri River trading forts through the Indian Wars, the Pick-Sloan dams, the American Indian Movement, and the campaign for Indigenous rights at the United Nations.

In 2016, a small protest encampment at the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, initially established to block construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline, grew to be the largest Indigenous protest movement in the 21st century, attracting tens of thousands of Indigenous and non-Native allies from around the world.

Its slogan Mni Wiconi — “Water is life” — was about more than just a pipeline. Water Protectors knew this battle for Native sovereignty had already been fought many times before. They also knew that even with the encampment gone, their anti-colonial struggle must continue.

While a historian by trade, Estes draws on observations from the encampments and from growing up as a citizen of the Oceti Sakowin (the Nation of the Seven Council Fires) and his own family’s rich history of struggle.

Buy a plot of land to own something

Jen Bradford, Ananda (Dharma Buddhist Meditation), Wisdom Quarterly


Best structure in the desert? Pyramid
What can one do with 1,000 square feet of land? It's enough for this solar powered shelter that can keep warm and cool in spite of the weather. It makes for an excellent place to meditate, to withdrawn from the din and noise of human companionship.

Withdrawing in this way, one will eventually gain concentration. On the other hand, Joshua Tree is the perfect place for exploring nature, preserving plants and trees, hiking, attending concerts, visiting sites of spiritual significance like Dhamma Dena (dhammadena.org) and the Goenka Vipassana Center (dhamma.org).

No building materials? Use the earth itself.
It's no coincidence that they are so close to one another and that both teach the same thing at the core, expressed radically differently. Why? Both founders had the same teacher, Burmese meditation master U Ba Khin, both attained the meditative states and progressed to the stages of enlightenment, but they both had a different view about how their (Ruth Denison and S. N. Goenka) students would best progress.

Is the REAL Mt. Sinai in Saudi Arabia?

David Guzik, premiered May 29, 2023; Sheldon S., CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Judaism took flood story from old Sumerian texts with Epic of Gilgamesh
So we're agreed? Our Sumerian Semitic scriptures say so, it's Jabal Maqla? - It's clear.

Is Jabal Maqla, Arabia, the REAL Mt. Sinai?
(David GuzikSAUDI ARABIA This is the story of four Christian pastor friends from Southern California who went to Saudi Arabia to investigate the plausibility of the alternative site for Mount Sinai, a mountain called Jabal Maqla that fits the biblical account of its location.

This video considers the traditional view of the location of Mount Sinai in what is today called the Sinai Peninsula (not its original name) in Egypt, North Africa, with the alternative suggestion of an Arabian site for the "Mountain of God" (Herob). #scripture #Christian #faith

House we can afford! Only $260K w/ catch

"Skinny House, "a meter wide" (BuzzFond); CC Liu, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly


A skinny house in Deerfield, Illinois, recently went viral on TikTok and sold for $260,000. Is the place so small that the owner can't walk around it? No. Let's see what it really looks like inside.


This is a view of its modern kitchen.
The skinny house has about 500 square meters of living space, with two bedrooms and three bathrooms. Although one side of the house measures only three feet wide, the other side expands to around 20 feet in width. Now let's step in.




When entering the house, there is a nice living room. It's not as spacious as that of a typical house, but it's quite comfortable and beautiful. Hardwood floors and warm lighting bring a sense of coziness. More

David Icke explains WHY we're locked down

David Icke (davidicke.com), Brian Rose (London Real) via bitchute.com; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly


Powers at the top pull the strings, not TV faces.
"Why?" That's the question, and only one man has answered it. He is giving verifiable research results, not opinions and speculations, so we can all check for ourselves, if we have the guts to dare. He says, "There is no 'COVID-19.' It doesn't exist. It's a hoax."

There's a plot afoot taking advantage of the crisis
How is that possible if people are dying and everyone is sheltering in place, economies are collapsing, and we're all worrying to death? What about that scary picture of the corona-ball?

Exosomes are released by poisoned cells, but these vesicles are not "viruses." What poisoned them? We are being poisoned -- as Dr. Thomas Cowan, MD, explains -- by 5G bombardment.

This weakens immunity and makes us susceptible to the flu and everything else. But the upper respiratory illness (COVID-19 is also known as SARS-2, or severe acute respiratory syndrome) is what happens when someone is bombarded by with 5G radiation.

A New York doctor broke rank and reported what he was seeing in the city -- not a disease, not a flu, but an immunity reaction, a strange lung condition from deprivation of oxygen. It is as if victims were in thin air at the top of a mountain without first having acclimated.

Underlying illnesses (called "co-morbidities"), which correlate with age, are the causes of hospitalization and mortality rates. Bad air like that of Milan, Lombardy, Italy and Wuhan, Hubein province, China are infamous for contribute to the need for hospitalization and need for coma-inducing ventilation.

Dr. Joel Wallach (criticalhealthnews.com)
Populations, like that of pasta-addicted Italy, have diets full of gluten, which Dr. Joel Wallach warns makes us very weak and sickly by causing malabsorption of nutrients.

The 5G rollout around the world is sickening all of us, less so young healthy people with strong immune systems. This is because the powers-that-be insist on deploying 5G, mass surveillance, AI (artificial intelligence), self-driving vehicles, and increased automation of everything in the coming "Internet of Things."

Invisible Rainbow: A History...
To cover up that 5G illness, which is unavoidable if 5G is fully deployed, W.H.O.-funded China and the U.S. military get blamed for their genetically manipulated bioweapons, wet markets, devouring up animals and ruining ecosystems and immune systems. But until now no one could point out the real cause of this "pandemic" and every draconian thing done in its name, as happened with 9/11.

Arthur Firstenberg in Invisible Rainbow reveals the real cause of pandemics, which is the increased electrification of the world, first with radio then radar then [HAARP?], 3G, 4G, and so on. What was the first city in the world to be fully blanketed in 5G? Wuhan, China. More

Why a pandemic? CV and 5G connection

David Icke.com via Bitchute, London Real; Pfc. Sandoval, Seth Auberon, Wisdom Quarterly

No "virus": poisoned cells excrete exosomes.
Finally, someone explains WHY, not only how, the world is locked down by a hoax scare, an exaggerated annual coronavirus flu. The common cold is also caused by a coronavirus. What is a "virus"? Dr. Thomas Cowan, MD, quoting Rudolf Steiner and investigative science journalist Arthur Firstenberg (author of Invisible Rainbow), says there is no such cell. What is there are exosomes, excretions of poisoned cells containing RNA, DNA, and other material.

What does he get for his efforts? Censored, banned on YouTube, relegated to bitchute.com.

Coronavirus terror: Is COVID-19 alarmism being used to seize our civil rights and manipulate economies? Governments are catching on and taking advantage of the situation. As one of the world’s eminent interpreters of what's really going on, David Icke (pronounced ike) is a regular guest on London Real, discussing topics as controversial and diverse as 5G, 9/11, and internet censorship. He is a renegade who speaks out against Orwellian manipulations of society. More
