Do we celebrate the Jewish Holocaust? Then why the celebration of the holocaust of millions of indigenous people of Turtle Island??
As long as Americans celebrate this holiday of massacre, they are complicit in the holocaust of the indigenous people. They are also tuned into the idea of colonialism as an option for dominance over another people and the taking of their land. They are desensitized with lies that led people into wars and continue to fight for the Imperial wizards of the world, having learned this from a very early age. Yet to protest this is to protest the deeds of their forefathers, particularly Pres. Lincoln who made it a national holiday for one day, instead of the week long celebration and murder that pursued for nearly 100 years or more. Teaching this to the children will bring them to question many things, including the Pledge of Allegiance, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It is a dangerous thing to do, when the system depends on the manufacturing of sheeple for the herd. I started to share this story, but thought better of it.
NPR can only go but so close to the truth. As long as we insist on living a lie, then we will remain its captive. Truth is freeing, lies are prisons. People can be united without ignoring the truth, but can join in the fact that we are all human and that the indigenous people did not deserve it. It could become a time for folks to go to the reservations, send a donation to a fund for Indigenous Americans, etc. Instead, filling our guts with food till we drop, and call that Thanksgiving. Giving thanks should occur each day, nothing stops us from doing that. By participating in this holiday we deny humanity on every level across the board. Question: Would they make a holiday celebrating the Jewish Holocaust?? Or is it a memorial??? It boggles my mind that people who are in the progressive lane of knowledge, wisdom and understanding, going straight and strong, then take a detour when the holidays come… Thanksgiving and Christmas. It demonstrates to me, how hard-wired we are into the system and how we choose those stances that are the least conflictual, while in the privacy of our own lives we support the warriors who have the courage to stand up for truth across the board. They (Truth Warriors) are turning over the rocks, finding the worms and making changes for those of us who slide by or look the other way, even if we stub our toes in the process. I have received so many emails from folks wishing me a Happy Thanksgiving. No way.. I have followed these folks posts about truth and justice, Humanity Healing for example, only to get a “Happy Thanksgiving” from them??? Not to mention the OWS and this Black friday Christmas shopping debackle!! That is why the elite ain’t sceeered of nobody, they know folks are gonna go right back to business as usual. It takes guts to stand up for truth, and then stay standing. It don’t take no guts to sit in a tent day after day… but when your family starts calling you all kinds of crazy or even sending you plane tickets “home” to celebrate the Holocaust of the People of Turtle Island, well you best get on that plane, your next meal may depend on it, and when it comes down to your next meal and acceptance by your family and friends for standing for truth, then your family will-out because they are the wardens, and it is their job to keep your from breaking out of prison….!!!!
Let me say this, having been involved in many rituals over the years I have inhabited this planet, I have found that many of the “so-called” Western/Christian Holidays are shrouding the so-called pagan practices of old. No matter how you slice it, we have lived in a world dominated by one main mind set, that is control/domination. If connecting the pagan rituals to the Christian ones meant getting more money from the pagans, then why not? I will go a little deeper and state, that these pagan rituals also tend to shroud the true controllers behind them. In that sense, we are bombarded by protocols and the rights of ritualizing or risk some form of chastisement aimed at making us conform. It is the conformity that makes us controllable and easy to manage. Yet even in that, it has cause tribal wars and division among the people. “
“Today, it is infinitely easier to to kill a million people than to control a million people.”- Zbigniew Brzezinski, imperialist/globalist/war-monger, former policy advisor to Obama, CFR and Trilateral Commission founder, lamenting about how the global political awakening is making it increasingly difficult to sedate/exploit and the masses.”
In the past, religion was used… Each of us must find our God-Consciousness within and make that first priority to what we think and do. And that takes a lot of work and study of the “Self”
EARTHLINGS is the single most powerful and informative documentary about society’s tragic and unforgivable use of nonhuman animals, narrated by Joaquin Phoenix with soundtrack by Moby. Directed by Shaun Monson, this multi-award winning film by Nation Earth is a must-see for anyone who cares about nonhuman animals or wishes to make the world a better place.

David Icke Newsletter PreviewOH, WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE …
… WHEN FIRST WE PRACTICE TO DECEIVEEurope now looking for a bailout from China – just as the United States is drowning in debt to China.Coincidence? Not a chance.The David Icke Newsletter Goes Out On SundayIn this cold and calculated way, the original crisis for the banks in 2008 has become a crisis for virtually everyone – except those who caused it – and vast tracts of public wealth have been transferred to those who caused it. But this is not the end of this process. Oh no. The idea is to bring every country to its financial knees so they can be absorbed into a world government and central bank and the plan is to keep on increasing the scale of their debts until there is a collective ‘bang’ that would heard on Mars.
We had all that ‘debt ceiling’ theatrics in the United States a few months ago with ‘crisis talks’ to increase the US ‘debt ceiling’ beyond what the law allowed. That law was always going to be changed to ensure the debt was increased, as I said at the time. It was all a stage show. It was like ‘phew, crisis over’, when the inevitable agreement was secured; but it was not crisis over at all. It was crisis worse. How can a debt crisis be over when the ‘solution’ is to raise the ceiling and incur massively more debt before the next crisis occurs at a far higher level of indebtedness?
It is crazy, or crazy if you think governments are supposed to be serving the interests of the people. It is genius if you know that the idea is to destroy America so it can be crushed by the world government jackboot. The same is happening in Europe where this week the Sarkozy-Merkel alliance won agreement for a new ‘bailout fund’ of a trillion euros. Where does that come from? More debt. This is the game – to increase debt to the point where the whole system comes down and a new one – the Cabal’s one – steps forward to replace it. This would be based on a world government, central bank and army.
Current events financially, politically and militarily are one giant collective Problem-Reaction-Solution – the more problems you create, the more solutions (your solutions) you can sell to a bewildered and ever more anxious and fearful public. And you knowit, too, don’t you, Obama, Sarkozy, Merkel, Cameron, Harper, Gillard and all the other souls for sale?

Notes: The ravaging of Africa has been enriching Europe and North America for more than 500 years. First, European empires imposed slavery and colonialism on the continent. After 1945, the United States took over as the dominant neo-colonial power.
Through the Pentagon and the CIA, the U.S. government has fueled 14 wars in Africa. The methods employed include direct and proxy invasions as well as arms transfers and military training. The U.S. has used the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to systematically demolish African economies and health and education sectors. This military and economic war enables the looting of Africa’s resources by Western multinational corporations. Washington’s genocidal imperial strategy has killed more than 26 million Africans but failed to suppress popular resistance.
Twenty-eight activists from 16 African countries were interviewed for the series. The documentary is based on Asad’s award-winning article of the same title. For his publications visit? http://www.asadismi.ws To respond email? aismi@can.rogers.com

REVIEWS:
1. “A must-listen documentary, especially for those entities (both in and outside Africa) whose role it is to chart a sustainable course for the continent’s future. It’s also a powerful tool for those individuals and groups that are actively involved in challenging the Western bastardization of the African continent. This well-researched documentary provides credible evidence of how the Western European nations and the United States have for many years been devastating the African continent through the plundering of its precious resources, as well as by their continuing support for and instigations of military wars. The documentary successfully highlights some of the serious problems that nations in Africa continue to face as they struggle against the United States’ selfish determination to dominate their turf. This documentary cannot be ignored by anyone who cares about Africa’s economic, social, and political emancipation from the bondage of neo-colonialism.” –Maria Mboono Nghidinwa, Ex-combatant of South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO), the former liberation movement of Namibia. Ph.D., Mass Communication and Media Studies, Howard University, Washington D.C. [SWAPO is presently the ruling political party in Namibia].
2. “A great project. ‘The Ravaging of Africa’ can be of enormous educational importance in reinforcing African perceptions of the sources of their current predicaments, and in educating those searching for ways out of their present desperate straits. Warm thanks for your efforts.” –Professor Dennis Brutus, Honorary Professor, Centre for Civil Society, University of Kwazulu-Natal Durban, South Africa. Professor Emeritus, Department of Africana Studies, University of Pittsburgh (U.S.).
3. ” ‘The Ravaging of Africa’ must count as one of the very best set of podcasts available about the way in which Africa has been looted by multinational corporations and U.S. imperialism. The recordings of the voices of African militants were prepared during the Nairobi World Social Forum. What is remarkable is that there is a coherent political analysis that enables the listener to have a clear context for the perspectives provided by African activists. We can only hope that the producers will continue to publish further series of these outstanding podcasts. These are vital listening for all those committed to social justice in Africa.” –Firoze Manji, Editor, Pambazuka News; Director, Fahamu – Networks for Social Justice. http://www.pambazuka.org [Pambazuka News is a leading African electronic newsletter and website focused on social justice].
4. “An excellent series that really gets to the heart of the matter and lets you listen to those radical African voices you won’t hear anywhere else.” –Roberto Nieto, Media activist and radio-host, CKUT Radio 90.3 fm at McGill University, Montreal.
5. “A fantastic series. We air tons of good programming, but ‘The Ravaging of Africa’ really stood out, because it tied together the various ways Africa is impacted by the imperial project, something you usually don’t get in a single program or news report. I really appreciated the rich production as well.” –Leigh Robartes, News Director, KRFP / Radio Free Moscow 92.5 fm, Moscow, Idaho (U.S.) [Pacifica Radio Affiliate]
6. “Thanks for the excellent programming. So many Americans are unaware of how people live and struggle in other parts of the world. This program provides vital information about Africa and its people.” –Cathy Murillo, News and Public Affairs Director, KCSB 91.9 FM at University of California-Santa Barbara, CA [Pacifica Radio Affiliate].
7. “A true work of broadcasting art! Thank you so much to the entire crew who worked on this special! The Ravaging of Africa was one of the most insightful and intriguing documentaries that the station has had the pleasure of playing. It not only received phone calls with reactions like, ‘I had no idea this was all going on! Thank you for making me aware!’ or ‘The program was so well done! Thank you for letting people know about what is going on in Africa!’ from listeners, it also garnered great praise from our programmers as well. Some of our programmers sit on either side of the fence politically but they all agreed that the program was very well produced and very informative and intelligent.” –Jason Wellwood, Program Manager, CILU 102.7FM at Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, ON.
8. “‘The Ravaging of Africa’ is a compelling and timely new media presentation of the over 500 years of the West’s pillaging of Africa. The body of work is firmly ensconced in the tradition of Walter Rodney’s ‘How Europe Underdeveloped Africa’ and Patrick Bond’s ‘The Looting of Africa’. ‘The Ravaging of Africa’ deserves the widest possible distribution as it does a tremendous job of sharing with the public a critical prism through which Africa’s relations with the West ought to be viewed and analysed.” –Maurice Carney, Executive Director, Friends of the Congo (U.S.), http://www.friendsofthecongo.org
9. “The unprecedented affluence we enjoy in the Global North is directly dependent on the violent plunder of resource-rich nations across the Global South — particularly the nations of Africa. ‘The Ravaging of Africa’ provides both the historical overview and the illuminating details we need to make sense of this crime-in-progress, and gives prominent place to the voices of front-line African activists leading the resistance.” –Dave Oswald Mitchell, Editor of Briarpatch Magazine
10. “I just came across and listened to “The Ravaging of Africa” and wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can’t quite explain precisely how important your documentary has been to me as a person living in the African diaspora in the West and as someone who so often can’t find the words to express the frustration he feels at the forcible dispossession of the continent of his mother’s ancestors. But it’s been profoundly important, your documentary. So thank you.” –Dave Hudson, Listener
