Great interview with Nick Tilsen (NDN Collective) about how the Oglala Sioux and Cheyenne River people are making it known that they explicitly prohibit the colonist's "President" from trespassing and intruding on their sovereign sacred territory. He does not have permission at this time.
The colonial state of South Dakota's "governor" Kristi Noem recently stared her hideous face and vacant, dead eyes into a TV camera and insisted that neither masks nor social distancing would be required the rally Trump wants there.
As Covid-19 cases have been accelerating in several states, the idiocy of colonist leaders cannot be underestimated.
Lots of love to the indigenous people of the region; keep yourselves safe.

Heard on the radio yesterday that our marches and protests are working. Uh... they are sorta* working? No, not really. The average street person hearing that $15 million of PPB's (Portland Police Bureau) funds are being diverted[1] may be initially hopeful, but would be ultimately hasty, to claim victory.
The PPB budget is $245 million dollars ($15 million is barely 6 percent); in other words, it is basically NOTHING in the grand scheme of the Evil Realtors' and Landlords' nefarious plots to keep the #CommunityWealth concentrated in their own hands, and in the pockets of their associates**.
The biz model of advertising trendy hipster flats and rowhomes, pushing contracts, "renters insurance" (HA!), colonist cash deposits, and other BULLSHIT on all the MLS websites and rental portals IS NOT A JOB the police should be protecting.
*"The PPB budget — about $245 million — is part of the whole city budget of $5.6 billion."
Where the hell is the city of Portland getting $5.6 billion dollars?
Yes, Black Lives Matter; however, we cannot overlook the reality that MOST of the budget's dollars are going into "policing for" (serving eviction notices) and protecting the fat landlords and Realtors in their little bubbles. Round up the homeless folk, put fences around them to keep them out of the brochures. Make the rental contracts longer and more complex to nickel and dime the workers. Turn them into wage slaves.
The only constant in the last 528 years of colonization is the exponential increase of greed of the colonists.
Colonist cash has always been, and will always be the root of oppression.
**The HARSH REALITY that still needs to be addressed is that the Realtors' and Landlords' constant demands for commissions and rent money prove that they ARE THE OPPRESSORS. NOTHING they can do changes their role or can make them into "good guys" (no, not even offering "free rent" in exchange for work).

Watch Russell Means explain that "where white men fear to tread" is actually quite large:
(Skip to ~7 mins in for some encouraging words regarding the wars of oppression)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWnk0FAYG9A
The tragedy is that because the white man could never face his past, THAT is why he has no future.
Specifics matter. The toppling of the statue of Columbus:
"On Wednesday afternoon, a 10-foot tall bronze Christopher Columbus statue was taken down on the east side of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul, Minnesota by members of the American Indian Movement (AIM).
It was the second Columbus statue taken down in as many days. On Tuesday night, a Columbus statue was torn down and thrown in a lake in Richmond, Virginia.
Columbus is no hero to American Indians and considered part of a false narrative of written American history."

Update to this thread: new Norlisk-related industrial contaminations in the #arctic
sea (expand thread to read full discussion):Melting permafrost behind the worst spill in Arctic history[2]:
"A vast Arctic state, Russia is warming 2.5 times faster than the world average.
Sixty-five percent of the country is covered by permafrost and the environment ministry warned in 2018 that the melt threatens pipes and structures, as well as buried toxic waste, which can seep into waterways.
Northern regions have also rung the alarm, with the eastern Arctic Yakutia area for years lobbying Moscow to pass legislation protecting permafrost.
Environmentalists said the spill was the worst such accident ever in the Arctic region and the second worst in modern Russian history.
The Ambarnaya River, which is affected by the spill, feeds into Lake Pyasino, a major body of water and the source of the Pyasina River that is vitally important to the entire Taimyr peninsula.
Satellite images released by the European Space Agency and Russia's Roscosmos show a large spot of reddish fuel had traveled over 20 kilometers toward the lake from the spill site.
Russia's fisheries agency and some environmentalists have said that the floating barriers erected on the river by responders are unable to stop the majority of the pollution, which can quickly dissolve or sink.
The spill also polluted 180,000 square meters of land before reaching the river, regional prosecutors said.
The area has been pummeled by decades of pollution from metals production and other industrial activity in Norilsk, Russia's most polluted city.
World Wildlife Fund expert Alexei Knizhnikov said local residents have long since stopped fishing in the river.
He added that despite damage to permafrost, the disaster could have been avoided if the company followed the rules, such as erecting a barrier around its fuel reservoir to contain spillage."

It's interesting that the generation that would be celebrating graduating high school right now... this generation that has for its whole existence been neck-deep as unwitting participants ("lab rats") in the biz model of neurosis-based advertisment assault by corrupt for-profit "social media" machines... this generation that has been psychologically profiled with individually-tailored and targeted political messages, coerced into being more disposable (brainwashed thinking in default terms of "u gotta rent and buy disposable everything") ... it's interesting that this generation is taking the biggest risks to overthrow the capitalistic machine that is enslaving us all.
In #Portland and #Seattle, the PNW Youth Liberation Front[1] organized vigils and protests (including the 2000+ person lay-down on Burnside Bridge). Is it working? Is it going to work?
Did you know that HALF of Los Angeles' city budget goes to funding militant police forces and cops?[2]
Generational pushback can't happen soon enough, it seems. Every new crop of youth helps... but seriously: How many generations have to scream that we don't want the racist, sexist, patriarchal garbage of the delusional settler colonialism of the 20th century ... how many voices[3] before the supposed adults running the country start to listen?
I've studied system dynamics as a hobby pretty much my whole life, and I dont have the answer. I do, however, have observation from many iterations of restrospective: it takes a LOT of time, energy, effort, money, and people to hold up broken and defective systems. Those most invested in keeping the broken things have the most to lose when they break.

The pallet crates are awesome. Vertical space is often overlooked as area for growing.
We saved quite a bit of wood from the deconstruction at the Ecostead, and vertical gardening as a #LivingWall of edibles / food is one of the later projects we've planned.
The new roof line is going to affect some areas of sunlight, and raising the beds will help.

Strange how none of my "facebook friends" (back in 2018 when checking fb occasionally was something I did) happened to get the news that the bronze statue of that TYRANT CORNWALLIS was finally, finally, FINALLY REMOVED FROM the PREMISES!!! In 2018? Why did it take so long to make this known?
The harder they try holding back the truth, the harder it hits them in the face...
Getting rid of colonist and tyrant names and namesakes on "place names" is about the smartest thing any community that desires decolonization can do.
"The removal of the statue, which was installed by the Canadian National Railway in 1931, came after increasing controversy over Cornwallis’s so-called scalping proclamation that offered a cash bounty to anyone who killed a Mi’kmaw person.
“It’s important for us to have the statue removed because white supremacist groups were rallying around the beliefs and ideologies Cornwallis had perpetuated hundreds of years ago,” said Patles.
“And we believe the scalping proclamation … is the seeds of missing and murdered Indigenous women.”
A municipal staff report last week recommended removing the statue in the name of public safety.
The report stated there could have been attempts during Sunday’s rally to tear down the statue as well as possible violent clashes between protesters.
Last year, on Canada Day, a group of protesters demonstrating in front of the statue was confronted by a smaller group called the Proud Boys. While the confrontation didn’t become violent, the incident intensified the debate about the statue."

"From the beginning of European control there has been an unrelenting drive to commit genocide over another culture. The American Indians were a majority so the Europeans called them an enemy. One of the major facts the United States Government has failed to understand is that the spiritual aspect of life is inseparable from the economic and the political aspects.
American Indians felt comfortable with the environment, close to the moods and rhythms of nature, in time with the living planet. Europeans were quite different, viewing the earth itself as lifeless and inorganic, subject to any kind of manipulation or alteration. Europeans tended to be alienated from nature and came to the New World to use the wilderness, to conquer and exploit its natural wealth for private gain.
American Indians’ agricultural and medical wisdom had been ignored by the European invaders. In their rush to control the land and people much has passed them by and much has been destroyed."

Only one case and zero deaths?
The unmistakably wise Julian Runner Bear informs the disease of Kristi Noem and her pompous, pasty-faced goons and monstrosities that, "No", they are _not_ allowed anywhere near protected territories.
"“Governor Noem miscalculates our level of dedication to protect our most vulnerable people from crony capitalism’s thrust to force us to open our economy as they choose to do,” Runner Bear wrote."
Smart move: that colonist governor is a proven vector of disease.

There's a plan more effective than adding infinite zeroes to what the settler state sees as infinitely-exploitable and capitalistically-limitless "growth" systems on what is a finite-sized planet.
Listen to the sustainability engineers: there are steep, steep differences in effectiveness. Neither the delusion of "infinitely exploitable" nor the sickness of "capitalistically-limitless" are actually sustainable. Neither one provides any basis for the continuation of life. Ancient people have been involved in the sustainable solutions for a long time. Why won't anybody listen to us?
Heres a beautiful #LandTitle #template anybody can use and #adapt to overthrow white priviliege if you are... say... finding yourself as the deeded "title holder" of any lands occupied by pre-Columbian inhabitants on any parcel of dirt in the US of A:
"For the consideration of zero units of colonial money, and with solidarity for 500+ years of indigenous resistance against broken treaties, forced relocations, Indian boarding schools, internment camps, MMIW, desecration of sacred sites, and other pollution of inhumane treatment against indigenous peoples...
Let the County record reflect that this parcel is among Pre-Columbian settlements belonging to [Hopi, Zuni, Pueblo, Apache, and Navajo Nation] people, as it always has been; it does not fall under any jurisdiction claims brought forth by the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA or colonist settlers. Grantor hereby covenants with Grantee that Grantor has right and lawful authority to RETURN TITLE and CONVEY TO GRANTEE this deeded parcel of land ... and WARRANTS and agrees to forever defend the right and title to the above described property unto the said Grantees against the claims of any settler colonist or other person whose ancestors’ occupation of North America started after the late 1400’s.
This document was prepared for the OFFICIAL RECORDS OF [APACHE] COUNTY."

Every continent where English is spoken has a history of genocide and oppression against native people.
Australia has been under the most brutal direct attacks by Rupert Murdoch's monstrosity of corporate disasters. Pollution on media waves everywhere; very few people can get the facts.
Well here they are: if you want start decolonizing, start using #decolonized names wherever possible. The decolonization from corrupted technology is, for some people, a little more difficult (see infographic).

There's no such thing as a pure trade.
"Carbon trading" as it has been marketed by corrupt fossil fuel companies, actually involves 5+ chemical compounds identified by the Kyoto Protocol.
"Carbon trading, carbon offsets and REDD+ are fraudulent climate mitigation mechanisms that in fact help corporations and governments keep extracting and burning fossil fuels."
"The majority of the tools for mitigating climate change, both within the US and globally, focus on carbon pricing and carbon counting, and continue to exploit people and communities most impacted by climate change, while providing special favors to the very fossil fuel and agricultural industry corporations most responsible for climate change.
The climate is changing faster today than it ever has before in human memory. Hurricanes are bigger, stronger, and more frequent, the sea level is rising, and agriculture is increasingly affected by changing rainfall patterns. Even small changes in the climate can have major effects."

PUBLISH All The Facts:
Where anybody wandering by might see them.
For any town that became a city and decided to think about trails and paths and sidewalks ... are there any outdoor landing spots for bugs and pollenators ... ?
And what about refugees from neighboring spaces?
How many prisons and prison camps have corrupt Republicans opened?
We at the Ecostead would eventually like a more official yard sign for Mark Charles 2020 campaign, too. #AllThePeople

Added the above quote to the decolonization doc... the whole essay is awesome:
"As Indigenous anti-futurists, we are the consequence of the history of the colonizer’s future. We are the consequence of their war against Mother Earth. We will not allow the specter of the colonizer, the ghosts of the past to haunt the ruins of this world. We are the actualization of our prophecies.
This is the re-emergence of the world of cycles.
This is our ceremony.
Between silent skies. The world breathes again and the fever subsides. The land is quiet. Waiting for us to listen.When there are less distractions, we go to the place where our ancestors emerged.
And their/our voice.
There is a song older than worlds here, it heals deeper then the colonizer’s blade could ever cut.
And there, our voice. We were always healers. This is the first medicine.
Colonialism is a plague, capitalism is pandemic."

Reading about the Bayou:
"The Chitimacha subsisted on maize, potatoes, and wild game. They preferred deer, alligator, and aquatic species. Hunting and fishing were accomplished with the aid of bone, stone, or garfish scale pointed arrows, or through the use of blow guns and wooden darts, as well as, nets and traps for fishing. The Chitimacha were prolific ceramics producers until about 200 years ago when those techniques were lost to history, however the designs are said to have been similar to those employed in basketry.
The crown jewel of the Chitimacha cultural tradition is river cane basketry, both single and double woven. According to tribal legend, basketry was taught to the Chitimacha by a deity and has been practiced by tribal families for thousands of years. There are at least 50 different design elements, which can be combined to create hundreds of different basket designs.
At the time of contact with European explorers and other non-indigenous populations, the Chitimacha were known as the most powerful tribe between Texas and Florida. Iberville, an early French explorer, encountered the Chitimacha and one of their subdivisions, the Washa along the shores of the Mississippi River in 1699. In 1706, as a response to slave raids and French aggressions, a group of #Chitimacha killed St. Cosme, a priest and slave owner, and several members of his party, who were missionaries to the Natchez Tribe. Bienville responded to this by convincing other tribes to help them make war on the Chitimacha. This war lasted until 1718 when a Chitimacha Chief met Bienville in the fledgling city of New Orleans. A treaty establishing peace was signed and a ceremony was held, which ended the long war in which the majority of the tribal members were annihilated. In the twelve years of conflict, many Chitimacha were forced into slavery and were the most enslaved of any population in Louisiana during that time period."

#PSA and friendly reminder:
"Saints" are a colonial invention. They are part of the settler tradition to attempt to "reframe" what actually happened in the past 528 years, to minimize the horrific severity of what their ancestors (both white settlers from Europe who displaced and killed Native Americans on their conquests west, AND Spanish Conquistadors who similarly plundered and murdered Indians' villages and people as they traveled north) did. Spanish "colonial" style extravagances of large crosses and churches and missions are evidence of this genocidal history.
Settler histories are predicated on faulty notions that the continental landmass today which contains the US of A was available for the taking. Religious falsehoods about saints were beaten into children forced to attend Indian Boarding Schools. The texts of history books were embellished to disguise or mask the truly horrific abuse and genocidal historical events.

Land acknowledgements, and to honor the #MMIWG by listening to one of the survivors.
"During the American period, Indian female children were sold for $200 pursuant to state indenture laws, while Indian adults were hunted as bounties. The militias were paid 50 cents to $5 per scalp.
In 1860, the California government spent $1.6 million on the hunting of Native Peoples. This would equate to $46,400,000 today. When white men would bring in a scalp, it would drip with blood in order for them to trade for their money. Hence the term redskin, which is the name of Washington, DC’s football team. This term embodies genocide of Native American people, yet the capital city of our country wears it proudly.
The history of California is gruesome and cruel, yet Native American people were able to endure multiple waves of genocide while still cultivating their connection to culture. Native American Peoples’ existence today is resistance in itself.
We were not expected to survive 300 massacres in California and many more across the country. We were told to kill the Indian and save the man by suppressing our ceremonial practices, stories, and languages.
Today we stand stronger than ever as we initiate the movement from symbolism to reality. The history of my ancestors must be respected and learned, because in order to respect the Earth, we must respect Indigenous Peoples.
This history is not a plot for the next blockbuster movie."

These #OpenFacts are not sweet sugar-coated things.
[1] The KKK is who funded that guy named G. Borglum to work on that atrocity of what settlers call "Mount Rushmore".
[2] Sand Creek Massacre: 500 Arapaho and Cheyenne men, women, children, and babies brutally killed (some were mutilated) by crazed settlers looking for more ways to make themselves and the kyriarchy (KKK rich) by westward expansion.
[3] Abraham Lincoln unleashed "some of the most brutal acts of genocide and destruction against indigenous peoples" because he was caught between the proverbial (or maybe not so much proverbial) rock and a hard place. The only way to gain favor among enslaved black settlers was to "value" them more than indigenous peoples... and this 3/5ths of a citizen is why he wanted his legacy to be civil rights. The real truth is much darker.
---There's nothing here to be debated. If you LISTEN to the words of survivors, you can learn some important things ...
When things get hard, if/when you become "desperate", don't be like G Borglum or hold to the delusion that money will be your ticket out of the tough spots.
Realize that the 20 or 30-something "prepper" who uses reddit religiously to antagonize or incite divisiveness among PoC ... that is the modern KKK doing exactly what LIncoln did. They're very active on Facistbook and Twitter too. Nothing scares these guys more than the idea of #AllThePeople calling them on their bullshit.
Force your Senators and Reps to #Decolonize their delusions. Make them listen to you, and when they won't, bring in the mental health professionals.
