I have had years to think about Chief Davis's plans, what can be accomplished realistically, and how to go about it very differently than those past conflicts.

And that is why I think it is better to evacuate people first. I remember the history of chief Joseph. The idea of an armed stand-off on a rez seems like it would be a suicide pact, too.

Sadly, too many of my political predictions do come true, simply because I consider how they would happen in a place populated by truly cruel and selfish people, something many refuse to do. I am basing my expectations on their true nature.

I agree, but I expect it to become that. As I said, I predicted at the start of the year that Trump would win re-election, I already have a good idea what that will look like, and so I chose to put those things into place I may actually need when the time comes, rather than have to rush later.

It's not impulsive, our prior chief made serious plans for war with the US, too. Not out of some belief we could somehow win, but out of the awareness we may have no other choice. I have asked myself how can I do this in the years since his passing, and for me the answer is ecotage.

Much of our tribal population had quietly migrated to Canada over the past 7 years. Chief Davis had been forced to arm our children to kill as young as 12, so this seemed better. I have recruited among the invader those they had excluded.

There are a lot of cruel and selfish, too. And at this point I am done with that. I never go back to where I have been abused.

But like most mass strategies it depends on a population that is actually not cruel and selfish themselves to execute it. That is why I have chosen to walk away, to arm for action, and to live among and arm the few free humans I can find, others disabled and rejected by this society, too.

And the lesser evil then says this is what the people mandated, "chose", so I have consent to do lesser evil, too. Forcing choices exclusive of lesser of two evil voting has become a means to generate a false legitimacy for evil. The idea of NO in November was to end that false legitimacy.

That sounds like that moment in the early summer of 2008 when Obama gave this very sincere interview describing Warren Buffet as his role model and ideal. So much for hope and "change you can believe in." The election was still months away, but right then I just knew we were fucked.

The UN convention on genocide offers a fairly broad definition of genocide, well beyond simple lethality. For example, removing children from one group to be raised and indoctrinated by another is also defined as genocide.

If you can take down their airforce you can begin a process that will lead to genuine peace. With the correct equipment, tactics, and training it actually can be done by a widely scattered guerilla army using Chinese or Iranian made manpads in the field, such as in Lebanon.

Yet in provincial France try to get something other than a damn croissant or some jam slapped on a baguette after it had been dragged thru the street, dropped a few times, and then put up on the shop counter. One blessed year I actually did find the only short order cook in France ;).

You must understand the US has a peculiar form of justice, as lynching never actually ended. Naturally, this can be reduced to a black man accused of raping and killing a white woman. I had guessed as much even before looking at the background. Some things never change in the US. Not at all.

This is NYC we are talking about. CPUSA declared it was no longer Marxist or socialist over two decades ago under Sam Webb, and even now still endorses "vote blue no matter who" ;). So I am not sure what even constitutes "radical red" in NYC...

I had been lucky to have collaborated with what was perhaps North America's last still active 20th century revolutionary, Russell Means. But I am too old for this shit, or at least too disabled. For this new century we need new revolutionaries, to continue the struggle for human dignity.

To get a real sense of what America is, yes, there is this. And the rez, too. At Pine Ridge, for example, adult male life expectancy has been down to 47 years, yes, lower than Haiti. Violence and dispossession is still far too often what it means to be a person of color in this thing called America

What people are willing to believe is what may often limit the actions they are willing to imagine or take against an illegitimate society. If they believe governments have power over them, it certainly will.

Apparently some believe it comes on a piece of paper given to them by a government, hence yes, just as easy to loose them, too ;). Personally I believe in birthright freedom, simple as that. But I could also easily see someone in the US acting just like her in the next decade.

I recall a Russian protest with a lady was screaming at a cop "your violating the constitution", and the narrator noting "people did nothing and lost those rights 19 years ago" and even if somehow it were fixed they would do it again, too. This seems America's future now.

Indeed, and yet Rome would never be a republic again. An Empire, if they could cheat it. A kind of theocracy, it would finally become after that.
