Lakotah Nation severs ties with USA

Yoinked from :

i’ve been meaning to make this announcement since late December, but i got caught up in travel plans for the holidays, work, and preparation for school. However, this is such important and exciting news that i had to make sure i came back here and let everybody know about it. In mid-December, the Lakotah People withdrew all of their treaties from the United States. This makes them an autonomous entity within our borders (awesome!), and rumor has it that the entire Sioux Nation is planning on doing the same…

Now, all of this hasn’t made big headlines, and i imagine there is some sort of media blackout regarding the People’s withdrawal. However, news of this is big amongst indy media sources. If, indeed, the lack of attention to the Lakotah’s withdrawal is from some government plan to go in there and quash their independence, i (for one) plan to move to stand in solidarity with the Nation. Please inform your friends and please keep informed.

i’ve included a link straight to the Republic of Lakotah website. Click HERE.

I am not afraid.

From Bruce Schneier’s blog, who got it from here:

“I am not afraid of terrorism, and I want you to stop being afraid on my behalf. Please start scaling back the official government war on terror. Please replace it with a smaller, more focused anti-terrorist police effort in keeping with the rule of law. Please stop overreacting. I understand that it will not be possible to stop all terrorist acts. I accept that. I am not afraid.”

This is exactly how I feel about this issue.

This is the video of the Mayor of San Diego explaining why he changed his stance on gay marriage. He gets very emotional, and I respect him for doing something so hard in front of so many people.

“In the end, I couldn’t look them in the face and tell them that their relationships, that their very lives, were any less meaningful than[mine with my own wife].”

AP Wire: EARTH DECLARES INDEPENDENCE FROM AMERICA!

A hemp paper document was delivered to the White House this morning, signed by the leaders of every nation on the planet, declaring their independence from American rule. It was very brief and to the point.

“We the people of Earth have decided that we are unanimously sick of your shit and are declaring our independence from America. Henceforth, we are reforming the UN without you in it because all you ever did was veto any progressive idea we ever put forth. We are sending all your companies, corporations and citizens found outside US borders back to your country forthwith. Furthermore, Nippon will no longer be selling you any cars or electronics, nor shall Australia or Africa sell you any of the fissionables you need to maintain your atomic weapons arsenal, nor shall China, Korea, Mexico, or Taiwan provide you with any cheap labor and/or manufactured goods to support your gluttonous economy. No Arabic nation nor Russia will be providing you with any more fossil fuels. Good luck trying to survive without the people you’ve both depended on and bullied for the last several decades. If you threaten us in any way we will invade your nation with the combined might of all the militaries of the world and give your entire country back to the Native Americans.

Signed,
Everyone But You

P.S. from France – A freighter will be arriving in New York shortly to take our statue back.”

Solar power is feasible in Spain.

This article makes me think… there are a whole lot of Native Americans that our government pissed off by moving them to desert reservations. If they built a whole lot of these things, they’d have the country by the balls as far as power production. And it would be CLEAN. It’s not a rolling-up of this world and a restoring of the last, but what’re you gonna do?
