WE ARE POWER by John Trudell

~ John Trudell ~  In honour of the Water and the Earth . .  A transcript . .



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.
