FEAR OF CHANGE
An argument heard from too many politicians seems to reflect a fear of change. Away from what comes with change? So far we have wealth inequality protected by law rather than free market principles, political Parties that protect themselves rather than principles of the US Constitution, a judicial system that ensures it is better to be rich and guilty than poor and innocent, Climate Change, and imperialism, to name a few of the changes politicians fear to challenge. We also have the propaganda that capitalism is synonymous with democracy, which it is not. Voices other than supporters of this system are censored. Censorship is associated more with hierarchy than with democracy. So let’s consider change.
Another reason I love NYS—https://mailchi.mp/oneida-nation/oneida-indian-nation-report-march-2021-nation-partnering-with-oneida-county-on-vaccine-distribution-4964654?e=164b4d6ef1 –The installation’s central image, the tipi, pays homage to Western Tribal Nations and the collective challenges faced by Native Americans. Although the Oneidas and other Haudenosaunee lived in longhouses, not tipis, the tipi offers a universally recognized symbol of Native American identity.
“We hope The Passage of Peace will bring attention to continued hardship taking place in many parts of Indian Country, while delivering a message of peace and remembrance with our neighboring communities here in Upstate New York. The tipi has become a universally recognized symbol of Native American identity. It also represents the traditions of Indigenous Nations in the Western U.S., many of which have experienced tremendous loss of life and suffering during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

As one who finds inspiration from living upon traditional Indigenous land, it isn’t forgotten that reportedly the US Constitution stands upon the shoulders of the Iroquois concepts of governance.
https://www.history.com/news/iroquois-confederacy-influence-us-constitution –What evidence exists that the delegates studied Native governments? Descriptions of them appear in the three-volume handbook John Adams wrote for the convention surveying different types of governments and ideas about government. It included European philosophers like John Locke and Montesquieu, whom U.S. history textbooks have long identified as constitutional influences; but it also included the Iroquois Confederacy and other Indigenous governments, which many of the delegates knew through personal experience.“You had the Cherokee chiefs having dinner with [Thomas] Jefferson’s father in Williamsburg, and then in the northern area of course you had this Philadelphia interaction with the Delaware and the Iroquois,” says Kirke Kickingbird, a lawyer, member of the Kiowa Tribe and coauthor with Lynn Kickingbird of Indians and the United States Constitution: A Forgotten Legacy.–end of history info–
Received from lakotalaw info–For the first time since the Obama administration held a similar event in 2016, the President of the United States welcomed tribal leaders from across Indian Country to the White House Tribal Nations Summit this week. The two-day gathering started on Monday and featured opening remarks from U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland (the first Native Cabinet-level secretary in U.S. history), First Lady Jill Biden, and President Joe Biden. At the conclusion of his opening remarks, the president signed a critical executive order directing four cabinet-level agencies to confront the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) — in consultation and cooperation with tribal governments. I encourage you to read the order, which outlines several key methods and timelines to improve public safety and promote justice for our Native populations.–end of lakotalaw info–
Interest in Indigenous people includes Native Americans but isn’t limited to one group. Indigenous people around the globe seemed particularly competent in living symbiotically within the natural world; and this includes people in Europe. Recently Establishment have attempted indoctrination that capitalism is democracy. This is not FACTual. Consider a book Bloodlines—-https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/601146.Bloodline_of_the_Holy_Grail –From royal and suppressed archives comes documented proof of the heritage of Jesus in the West and the long awaited discovery of the Holy Grail. In fulfilling this time-honored quest, penetrating new light is cast upon the Grail Code of Service and the venerated feminine element, upheld in chivalry but forsaken by the Church in order to forge a male dominated society—end of bloodlines info–
A benefit of reading old texts (which Bloodlines is not), is the ability to read perceptions as written almost a millennia ago devoid of modern-day interpretation. One such work is that of Chaucer who describes churchmen that suggests, for example, the transformation of Saul into Paul on the road to Damascus with the resulting religious hierarchy as compared to honest workers in matters of the spirit.
Interestingly presumed historical documents as described in Bloodlines suggest precisely the build out of hierarchical economic Establishment using tyranny by religion as the foundation.
Paul surely didn’t invent patriarchy but he seemed to understand the benefit of combining religion and finances and the sacrifice of portions of the public to build the prosperity of others.
This divergence of government grounded upon concern for humanity as compared to “running government like a business” is apparent today.
We might consider inclusiveness in spirituality or as suggested in the US Constitution, Freedom of religion.https://wildhunt.org/2021/11/four-pagans-talk-their-experiences-at-parliament-of-worlds-religions-2021.html –She described her first PoWR as “a vast treasure of knowledge and experience from so many different people.” Twila described the PoWR as an “interwoven intricate tapestry of art, knowledge, people, religion, culture, and food.”–end of wildhunt info–
Discrimination implies violence and we are all onlmy too familiar with the results—Received from popularresistance — https://mailchi.mp/popularresistance/kflayh9p2i?e=1b0a9c0541 —

Fear and violence promote profiteering more than does peace of mind. Indoctrination into acceptance of ongoing tension could be replaced by demands for a society that upholds human and natural requirements rather than economic gain.
Veteransforpeace continue to work toward restoring Armistice Day as a day of peace — https://veteransforpeace.salsalabs.org/armistice2021recap?wvpId=f6a93b7e-671f-415a-9230-16ff5ce87934 –Veterans For Peace Chapters and Members across the U.S. and abroad once again took the lead to #ReclaimArmisticeDay as a “day dedicated to the cause of world peace,” as it was celebrated at the end of World War I when the world came together to recognize the need for lasting peace. Veterans For Peace started this campaign over 8 years ago to challenge the overt celebration of militarism and redirect our cultural celebrations to highlight moments when the world came together to work towards peace and the common good. And it is clear that it is working! More and more people are hearing our message!–end of vfp info–
