There are insane people who wish to
rule the world. They wish to continue to rule the world
on violence and repression and we are all the
victims of that violence and repression.
We, as the indigenous people of the western hemisphere (USA area) have been resisting this violence and this oppression for five hundred years. We know that the black people have been resisting it for at least that long and we know that the white people had to endure it thousands of years, and now it's come full swing to this generation that we live in.
Nuclearization of the world.
See we cannot allow this to continue to go on. We cannot do it. See we cannot expect that the pro-nuclear oppressor - that other side, we cannot expect that they're going to change for us. They are going to become more brutal they're going to become more repressive because it's a matter of dollars and their illusionary concepts of power.

We have to reestablish our identity. We have to understand who we are and where we fit in the natural order of the world because our oppressor deals in illusions
They tell us that it is power, but it is
not power. They may have all the guns and they may
have all the racist laws in judge's and they may control all the money But that is not power, these are
imitations of power and they are only power because in our
minds we allow it to be power.
Imitation Power
But it's all an imitation. Racism and violence, racism and guns, economics the brutality of the American corporate state way of life is nothing more than violence and repression and it has nothing to do with power, it is brutality. It is a lack of a sane balance.
The people who have created this system and who perpetuate this system, they are out of balance. They have made
us out of balance. They have come into our minds and come
into our hearts and they have programmed us because we live in this society they have put us out of balance. Because we are out of balance, we no
longer have the power to deal with them.
They have conquered us as a natural
power, See we are power, they deal in violence
and repression. We are power we are part of the natural world all the
things that the natural world are a natural part of the creation and feed
off the energy of our sacred mother earth.
We are power.

But they have separated us from our spiritual connection to the earth so people feel powerless. We look at the oppressor and we look at the enemy because they have the most guns and the most lies in the most money and people start to feel powerless.

We are power.
We are a natural part in the creation we were put here on the sacred mother earth to serve a purpose and somewhere in the history of people we are forgetting what the purpose is.
We are a natural part in the creation we were put here on the sacred mother earth to serve a purpose and somewhere in the history of people we are forgetting what the purpose is.
- The purpose is to honor the earth.
- The purpose is to protect the earth.
- The purpose is to live in balance with the Earth.
Oppressor Hypocrisies
Because all of our resistance and all of our struggle is hollow it's false its another one of those oppressors hypocrisies.
If we do not look out for the welfare of the earth first because I do not care who it is -- 'Any child that turns on their mother is living in a terrible terrible confusion'. The Earth is our mother, we must take care of the earth
They Pollute. This oppressor, this machine, this
machine that has gone mad, and run amok, It is berserk. They keep telling
us you know 'progress'. They keep telling us face 'reality'. Ok
well let's deal with reality.
Progress and Reality
Reality is the earth can no longer take this attack. We cannot, we can no longer allow this thing to continue where it is polluting the air. It is polluting the water, polluting our food. They pollute the air, they pollute the water, they pollute our food, they pollute our minds. They have put us out of balance. They have made us be insecure with ourselves.

They pollute the air, they pollute the water, they pollute our food, they pollute our minds. They have put us out of balance. They have made us be insecure with ourselves.
They have put us into a situation where we have to play many roles. We gotta be chauvinist or we gotta be on some kind of class trip or some kind of an illusionary power trip and we gotta play a role see. We gotta play a role to communicate with other people. We gotta go through this charade because they have attacked our self-confidence.
They have attacked our self-confidence and they have made us to listen to them. They have made us to believe they are power. But they are not, they are violent and they are brutal but they are not power.
We are a natural part of the earth. As a natural part of the earth we have the energy and the power that is the earth. The Earth will take care of us if we will remember the earth in more than just our words: If we will remember the earth in our way of life, we are all here to play a role in all of the animals in all the life on the earth is playing its proper role except the human people.
Somehow we are betraying, we
are betraying our purpose here and that is why we live in the confusion
that we live in. They tell us, they want us to believe
that we are powerless.
We are a natural part of the Earth, we are an extension of that natural energy. That natural energy which is spirit and which is power. A blizzard is power, an earthquake is power, a tornado is power. These are all things of power that no oppressor and no machine age can put these things of power in a prison.

A blizzard is power, an earthquake is power, a tornado is power. These are all things of power that no oppressor and no machine age can put these things of power in a prison.
No machine age can make these things submit to the machine age, that is natural power. Just as it takes
millions and billions elements to make a blizzard to happen or
to make the earthquake to make the earth to move then it is going to
take millions and billions of us.
We are power, we have that power. We have the potential for that power.
I remember in the sixties and the seventies I heard all these things about power to the people and I never really understood because everyone was saying power to the people who were talking about demonstrating they were talking about bolt. They were talking about dealing on the terms of the oppressor.
Our power will come back to us, our sense of balance will come back to us
when we go back to the natural way of
protecting and honoring the earth.
If we have forgotten how to do it and if we think that it looks overwhelming and
we can never accomplish it then all we have to do in each of us as
an individual can go out and we can find some spot on the Earth that we could
relate to and feel that energy, feel that power. That's
where our safety will come.
Earth will take care of us. We have to understand that the american corporate
state will not take care of us, they do not care about us. Maximize their
profit, that is where there whole life value was
placed upon maximize the Profit.
They will turn us against each other to
maximize the profit because they have done it in the past.

We will not destroy the world.
We are arrogant and we are stupid and we are foolish if we believe that we will destroy the world. Man has the ability to destroy all of the peoples ability to live on the earth, but we do not have the power to destroy the earth. The Earth will heal itself. The earth will purify itself of us. If it takes a billion years to get rid of the radiation, the earth will do it because the Earth has that kind of the time, we do not.
Our obligations and our loyalties have to
be to the earth, and they have to be to our sense of community and to our people and to our relations. Our obligations and our loyalty should
not be to a government that will not take care of our needs.
Our obligations and loyalty should not
be to a government that has proven time and time again that it is the enemy
of the people unless the people are rich in dollars.
Government is not an Ally
That has been the consistent history of Western civilization and the American corporate state government. That's reality!, They are not our friends, they do not care for us. We have to face that reality that we have an enemy. We want to talk about nuclear war, Everybody's afraid of nuclear war, it's gonna come between the Americans and the Russians and the Chinese or whoever. But are they not waging nuclear war on us now when the miners die from cancer from mining that uranium?

Are they not waging nuclear war with Three mile island when they release that stuff into the
air?
Are they not waging nuclear war when they build all of these nuclear reactors and it's not safe?
Are they not waging nuclear war when they attacked the Indian people on their land. Militarily attacked the Indian people and racistly attacked the Indian people so that they can get the natural resources to feed their radioactive machine?
War against us
That is war, and they are waging it against us. They bribe congress, they bribe your elected officials. They terrorize and intimidate your elected officials by getting the FBI to blackmail them. Those are acts of war. It will come in our lifetime when we're going to have to deal with the fact that the enemy has taken over your government. The government is not your ally. The government will use you, chew you up and spit you out. You think that we are wrong ?
You think that we are talking unrealistically? Then go and look at your elders and see what has happened to your elders in your machine age society. See what kind of respect that they get?

See what kind of a voice they are allowed into your society. What kind of input they have. See what their final reward of happiness is after working for the slave state for thirty or forty years and allowing someone else to exploit their their labors.
What is racism? Racism is an act of war, sexism is an act of war. It's a war against our human dignity and our rights to self respect. This is the war that they wage there
War they are warlike! We have to understand that America
American corporate state got to where it's at through the act of war.
The next war you might think about a war, the next war that you better be concerned about is the one that they're gonna fight here. Here in the continental United States. They have fought many wars here. They fought us all along see because we said its ours, you haven't got a right to it.
They fought us ...now you all are claiming that its yours under this illusory concept the private ownership of property and they are going to fight you. But they're gonna call it national security or an energy crisis. They are gonna call it a constitutional rights and they are gonna call it judicial proceedings. They going to nationalize the police departments, that is your military coup.
In the name violence, and rising crime. But all we gotta do is look in the corporate office and see the rising crime that is taking place there and nobody's going to jail for it. So we got to understand that they are arming themselves to wage

Resistence
Resistence
For five hundred-years my people have
resisted, for five hundred years we will resist
again if it becomes necessary. We want to be
able to relate to communicate with all of the people that are living on this
land, but we want to be able to relate and
communicate from a position of truth.
You all got to face the truth, we have had
to face it through five hundred years of
genocide, we have had to face the truth,
we have had to live the truth,we have had to die the truth.
Before we gonna ever see our evolutionary
liberation, the people that call themselves Americans are going to have to face the truth also.
They tell us to be realistic that
progress means all these things have to happen.
They tell us that we can't go back to
the old way. They tell us be realistic.
But there is no old way, no new way, there
is a way of life. We must live in balance with the earth. We must do it, we have no choice, if we allow ourselves to be
apathetic or we allow ourselves to be lied to, or tolerate their lies about what they are doing to the earth then we are betraying our intention. We are
betraying our purpose here! We cannot protect that seventh
generation if we do not protect the Earth. We cannot protect ourselves if we do not
protect the earth.
The Earth gives us life not the American government. The earth gives us life not the multinational corporate government.
But there is no old way, no new way, there is a way of life. We must live in balance with the earth.
The Earth gives us life not the American government. The earth gives us life not the multinational corporate government.
The earth gives us life, we need to have
the earth. We must have it otherwise our life will
be no more. So we must resist what they do. They want
to break our spirit. They will do everything and anything to break our spirit, our will to live. We must learn to resist, we must learn to
see . . . . We must learn to look.
