  2. Alrighty then. Went on FB for my weekly check-in -- just long enough to firm up plans with a friend (though they have my phone #, whatev), get my niece's new phone number, post some political memes (that won't get seen), and then gave advice to a local about dealing with hydrogen sulfide odors in their pipes. Seems a bit appropriate! How to get rid of sewer smells from the stench of fascism? It might require bleach, but try baking soda, vinegar and hot water first...

    The Silent but Deadly Enemy: How to Neutralize Sewer Smell
    September 26, 2024 by Francis Olson

    "The pungent aroma of sewage [#fascism] is an unwelcome guest in any home or business [or country]. It’s a potent mixture of hydrogen sulfide, methane, and other volatile organic compounds that can make your eyes water, your nose curl, and your stomach turn [and pollute the environment]. But don’t worry, we’ve got the solution! In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the world of sewer smell neutralization, exploring the causes, consequences, and – most importantly – the cures for this unpleasant problem."

    #Navajo #protesters say people fear #deportation threats, other changes under #Trump

    by Arlyssa D. Becenti, January 29, 2025

    WINDOW ROCK — "Bryson Sam and his siblings stood at an intersection in the Navajo Nation capital under gray clouds and a chilly breeze, holding signs that read, 'No Human is Illegal on Stolen Land' and 'Native Youth Deserve Better.' Across the street, another protester waved a #Palestinian flag, holding a sign that read, 'Make White Supremacists Scared Again.'

    "The demonstration was their response to events unfolding across the country and in Arizona. Last week, The Arizona Republic reported on unverified claims circulating on social media that Navajo citizens were being detained in connection with President Donald Trump’s executive order on mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.

    "'My people outside of the Navajo Nation are getting a lot of backlash, thinking they're immigrants, when no one is illegal on stolen land,' said Sam. 'A lot of Native elders and adults aren't aware because a lot of stuff is being hidden. Native youth like me are aware but our voice feels dim. What happened in the 1920s in Germany is happening now, deportation, concentration camps, it's basically adding up. I don't want to make seem like we are letting it happen. A lot of my people are afraid. A lot of them saying we are scared for our future.'

    "Sam said he initially waited for someone else to take action, but instead of standing by, he decided it was up to him to step forward and make his voice heard. He emphasized that his protest is not only about raising awareness of the challenges faced by Native people in urban areas but also about shedding light on the broader threat of targeting of people of color by the Trump administration and ICE.

    "'I am afraid not only for my future but for everyone's future,' said Sam. 'Not only Native people, but #BlackPeople, #MexicanPeople, everyone. We are no longer individual tribes we stand together. Whatever feud we may have had back in the day, no more, because now it's time to stand together.'

    "Following a meeting last week, leaders have advised tribal members to carry state-issued identification, such as a driver’s license or another form of photo ID if available. Additionally, a Certificate of Indian Blood may be helpful.

    "Navajo tribal members affected by ICE raids can contact the Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission Office at (928) 871-7436. People who encounter issues with federal immigration officials can reach out to Operation Rainbow Bridge at 855-435-7672, visit their website at operationrainbowbridge . com, or email info @ operationrainbowbridge . com.

    The Hopi prophecies are coming true — here’s why we should pay attention

    by Cyril Christo | Aug. 4, 2021 |

    "In 1990, I had the extraordinary opportunity to visit the home of Martin Gashweseoma and Thomas Banyacya, Hopi elders in Hotevilla, the last traditional village on the Hopi Mesas, in the midst of the searingly dry and vast Arizona desert. To Western eyes, this almost inhospitable land is where one Nation, the Hopi have thrived without warfare for over a thousand years. There is a sense of profound freedom, clear and stark as the distant horizon. The Hopi are the preeminent dry farmers on Earth. When they speak about the elemental realities it is on the order of revelation. Thomas shared the vision of the now famous Hopi prophecies that describe this time of Powateoni, of purification, of social and ecological disruption that will eventually bring a time of lasting peace over the world’s people. But before that, we will have to go through the eye of the storm.
    When I first heard Thomas’ words, I received them mainly as stories, warnings about Western man’s way of life that was out of balance with the Creator’s Law, a law that was once the very basis of our own Declaration of Independence. An indigenous group has disappeared every year since 1900. What unique and immemorial relationship with existence has humanity expunged in the name of progress? The answers are starting to haunt civilization in ways we cannot measure.

    "The Hopi had been trying to get their message to the United Nations for years. They would succeed in addressing the General Assembly, but their voice would fall on deaf ears. Thomas raised his arms, as if brandishing an imaginary sword, the potential sword of nuclear annihilation, the nuclear sword of Damocles that hangs over all of civilization and the planet. The Hopi had suffered mercilessly at the hands of the U.S. government. In 1906 they were even starved so the “outlaw” traditional would sign a contract with Washington, DC. All in clear violation of what would later become the Genocide Convention Implementation Act."

    The article goes on to say: "There was a time when NASA scientists were asking Hopi elders about what they could share about the Earth changes. Now we know. They are happening. And there is precisely nothing we will be able to do except go through the storm. Civilization has unleashed a monster beyond the wildest dreams of Doctor Frankenstein. The prophecies are daunting. They are not mystical and numinous. They are about an opening of an entirely novel order of being and relationship to the planet. An ancient metaphysics with a clear plumb line to the soil was being desacralized when Arizona Public Service imposed water, sewer and electric lines on a people who wished to maintain their sovereignty and who had no desire to pay taxes or become federal subjects, as we have all become. An entire way of living entrenched in an order of coherence our mechanical world cannot fathom, was coming unglued. The entire life force on earth was now in question.

    "Today forces are being unleashed that will challenge the very foundations of society. The Hopi somehow foresaw the “talking cobwebs” and “flying villages” and even the house of Mica, the UN, generations before these things came into being. Knowledge that issued from a time before the computer and pollution that is killing clarity and life itself. I thought of the strength of the traditional elders years ago who were able to run dozens of miles a day. Much like the Tarahumara of Copper Canyon in northern Mexico. I thought of the prescience that came before computer models that so much of our society is beholden to. I thought of the crops the Hopi grew in near impossible conditions thanks to their prayers and songs. Science can dismiss these prophecies as mere superstition, as mere coincidence that cannot be proved or disproved. But to the Hopi the psychic pattern of the mind lives connected to its counterpart, the events of the worlds that unfold in the physical realm. The last time I saw the Hopi mesas, I felt an ancient metaphysics ebbing in the global drain. No discoveries by nuclear researchers at the CERN facility could match the intrinsic mindfulness of the elders.

    "We face a more radical change in civilization than has ever occurred in the human time frame. The elders have warned us that the dominant society so very bent on subjugation and extraction of resources has “stirred the underground serpent,” which is bound to wreak future military and ecological havoc. Already the signs are here. We need to strengthen ourselves by running and taking cold baths say the elders. With the heat of the world now upon us, that will be a welcome respite for what we have unleashed on the world.

    "Traditional elders have been locked in a battle with progressives for decades now, progressives who subscribe to the police state and the coal mines and the machinations of the dominant society. The traditional elders emphasize that the contest today is between those who subscribe to such prejudice and those who recognize the human family as a balancing influence within nature.

    "If the mentality that rules the modern world wins, and the true caretakers of land and life lose charge of their trust, the human sojourn in this world will come to a painful conclusion, along with almost every other life form. But if the wisdom of the Ancient World prevails, our peaceful tenure could last indefinitely. It is time humanity chose either the path of annihilation or the path of everlasting life.

    Not long ago Davi Kopenawa, an elder of the Yanomami of the Amazon, whose people have suffered invasions of their land, killings by foreign gold miners and unprecedented fires, told the world, whatever is happening to us, will happen to you.

    "Listening, respecting and acting on the wisdom of the first peoples of the world may save civilization. The elders have been right all along. The emergency is here. It has arrived. The time to act is now."

  7. "You have sеt something in motion
    Much greater than you've ever known
    Standing there in all your grand naivety
    About to reap what you have sown
    Time will feed upon your weaknesses
    And soon you'll lose the will to care
    When you return to the place that you call home
    We will be there

    On hands and knees, we crawl
    You cannot stop us all
    Our blood will stay
    We will not go away

    On hands and knees, we crawl
    You cannot stop us all
    Our blood, our grace
    Will never leave this place..."

  8. My theme song (since 1987):

    "If you want a revolution, baby
    There is nothing like your own
    You don't have to do all those burning books
    Revolutionize at home

    Someone's been hiding the pieces
    Someone been burning down the trees
    So we need your revolution, baby
    There's a planet to set free

    We are the revolution, baby
    Come to take you home
    If you say you want a revolution, baby
    There is nothing like your own

    We are the revolution, baby
    Come to set you free
    After you revolution, baby
    There is nothing you can't be

    Man's been killing the tigers
    Turn the green fields into sand
    And their saying how much they respect our work
    Oh, god and his final hand

    But the world spins on regardless
    Which is lucky for you and me
    'Cause of all the places in a year's ride from here
    This is the only place to be

    We are the revolution
    Come to take you home
    If you say you want a revolution, baby
    There is nothing like your own

    We are the revolution, baby
    Come to set you free
    After you revolution, baby
    There is nothing you can't be

    Don't need a red light
    Don't need a blue light
    Don't need a yellow light

    Take off from the green light now
    Take off from the green light now
    Take off from the green light now

    We got a revolution, baby
    Come to take you home
    If you say you want a revolution
    There is nothing like your own

    We are the revolution, baby
    We've come to set you free
    After you revolution, baby
    There is nothing you can't be"

  9. Laten we het nu alvast gelijk over het volgende WK's in 2026 en 2030 hebben.

    Heeft de KNVB al de requirements bij de FIFA neergelegd voor Nederlandse deelname aan beide WK's?

    En wat about de geruchten dat Saudi-Arabië de WK2030 aan het binnenhengelen is?
    Is de FIFA al aan de verdachte transacties monitor gelegd?
