Kinder FBI....what total rubbish,they have never been kind.In the 50's and 60's ,when I was young,the FBI sent undercover ops into the KKK.The idea was to break them up.There boys whent one better and even participated in lynchings,burnings,and general mayhem in the Black community.For my 10th birthday I was treated to the site of Dayton Police use of cattle prods,electrically charged batons,to disperse protesters whom wanted to be able to sit at the lunchcounter at the Department store.The actions taken on the people were carried out by local cops under the direction of the feds. In the late 60's the feds and the C.I.A. became a joint unit for domestic spying and 'black ops' activities.Through coersion and intimidation they infiltrated many groups that faught for social justice.A.I.M.,The Black Panther Party,Students for a Democratic Society,the Labor Unions,even the Woodstock nation. They targeted and terminated people in all these groups.If they did'nt kill you,they would mess with your job,alter your mail,send people into your group for the sole purpose of creating dissent among the ranks.All the while knowing that those very actions were what the Revolution was faught for,without a care to the constitution,bill of rights,or just plain decent human treatment. In Leonard's case,the Feds not only admitted they uesd fake evidence(sound familiar?),beat people into false statements,they were braizen enough to get this crap treated as 'real' evidence,thanks in large part to the influence of the Whitehouse.If anyone wants to read the transcripts,you can find them in the back of 'In the Spirit of Crazy Horse'.Read it,because they have'nt changed a bit,only now all of us are targets. In the 70's the Feds flooded Haight Ashbury with high intensity speed and Herion,because Hippies smoked herb and did acid,founded free food kitchens,free clothes centers,free clinics,and the former were good tools for destroying any unifying activities. All through the 80's till Garcia's death in '95,the big dogs ran a program called 'Operation Dead Stop'.It was the same cointelpro crap revisited to the traveling roadshow that was known as 'The Deadheads'. Such is your lot in life when you value peace,freedom,and liberty over dead rulerships and anti-human treatment. Truth is Leonard got royally screwed because he was willing to stand up for his people,his spirituality,his homeland(which we stole by the way)and a path in life that honors all life.For this he was willing to die for.Not for the Oil in Iraq,or the uranium in the Black Hills,or the gold.But for his people and their way.Not many White folks have that kind of commitment.If we did, this country would'nt be as bad off as it is. If you think the feds don't have a sight on us all,that we live in a 'Free Society',that we were really attacked by terrorists,and the leadership has the best intrests of us all,than pal,you drank the koolaid and assumed the position.I've had my phone tapped,listening vans around my house,and other garbage.For the sole reason that I have the balls to speak from my wheelchair, two words,two words that shakes the system,two words that the theives who stole this country fear the most.....FREE PELTIER!!!

Recently we've been saturating the T.V. airways with alot of ultra-pro war propaganda.Not just carefully slanted news,but so-called 'educational'programs feature these same 'Gotta Kill 'em Before They Kill Us' mind set. The most recent send up was on our 'Secret Forces'.Just like the film 'Men in Black', these folks go by initials only,and, just like the by-gone days of the American West,their job is the same; Move in with the people,make friends,indoctrinate, then murder all those whom stand in the way of the stated mission.This time we call them Al-Queda,Extremists,and insurgents.In the old days they were just 'Hostiles' and 'Renagades'. Well the names have changed along with the dates,but, the tactics are still the same. You take a young man or woman, fill their heads with so much 'Gung-Ho' attitude that they believe the sunrise could be the enemy and 'sic 'em' on someone.That's actually an oversimplified statement.It takes alot to ruin a culture. Firstly you get folks on the inside,you know,really make the people think you're on their side.Maybe even learn a few basic words in their language like ;'Thank-you' or 'Friend'.Then find a few souls that are willing to give you the benifit of the doubt and accept you as 'friend'. All the while,learning the weaknesses,the strengths,locations of food stores,defensive stores,the how's and why's of folks actions and reactions to eachother within that culture.Then after you know all that,you can devise a removal plan for the inhabitants.and an aquisition plan for the resourses and valuables.Then hand out awards and decorations to 'The Vanquishers' thus completing the Nation Building. This is going on right now in Iraq,Afganistan, Columbia,and smaller nations,but a short look backwards can tell us how little things have really changed. In the American Northeast we moved in with the Nations,learned their ways,acted as friend and brother,and when it was convienient dispose of them.Washington,Jefferson,and Jackson all used Indians for what they could get.If they could'nt kill them off their land,they would swindle them,or force aggreements upon the people that were made with folks whom had no athority to make such deals.It was the open hospitality of the Tribes that made getting information easy. As soon as anything of monetary value was found amongst the People,they were no longer 'Friend' and 'Brother'but rather 'Hostile','Renegade'and favorite of the day...'Bullet Catcher'. The Cherokee were so 'Civilized' the had Mansions,schools,blacksmithers,and stores within their Nation.What happened? They found gold in 1829,They were 'Removed" by the following year,forced to walk 'The Trail of Tears'.Such is the price of assimilation. The Ho-Chunk and Menominee were displaced by the discovery and subsiquent usage of lead found on their lands,oh yeah, they had a couple trees too. The Cheyenne and Lakota were friends at first,when we only wanted passage through their lands for the 'Iron Horse'Too bad they did'nt know then it was the beginning of the 'Get rid of these Savages' movement,or they may not have waited for the Great Liar,Gen. Custer.I can say that about him because not only was it true,but I'm his Great-Nephew,and that's what he did.He got in with the people,had a family(I'd like to meet my cousins someday)became friend of the People,found gold,screwed them all,and paid the Liar's Price.Uncle Bad...Indians Good. They went after religion too.Lodges broken down,Spiritual Elders killed,and the 'Mother-of All-Putdowns' the massacre of 300+ Men,Women, Children,and Elders,With WMD,for practicing thier faith at Wounded Knee.The reward for these 'heros' was The Medal of Honor. Slaughter of the helpless has always been worthy of 'honor'amongst the 'Rulership of the Tyrants'. It has been the continuation of these practices that has formed and still forms our concept of 'Manifest Destiny'The taking of America was just the 'dress rehersal' for world domination. Great wealth creates great lunacy.The lunacy that you can poison every living thing for money, the lunacy that coersion and intimadation are viable methods of diplomacy,the lunacy that killing is somehow our divine right under the god of the almighty economic denomination. Have we as a spieces become so droll that acts of violence are our first response,so arrogant that we force people to accept our ways and then dispose of them at our convience,or so blind that see no consequence for heartless actions? It is possible to manifest a destiny that includes all people.We just have to give up the idea of Peace through Force,I'm sorry, Strength. That coersion is longer lasting than cooperation. That threats of death work better than gaining concensus to solve problems.In short give up the kindergarten attitude of control by force and aquisition by theft. The Chinese centuries ago knew when they discovered gunpowder,that it would not be good for 'average' thinking people to have.Why? Because these dullards blow things up when they run out of reasons to talk!If the foregoing statement had held sway,Damascas would'nt have invented the gunbarrel in 1050,suits of armour would'nt have been made,the Dutch would'nt have invented barrel-rifiling to penetrate armour,Rulerships would'nt have become so fond of conquest as a way to gain land,wealth,and power without this great substance.Maybe so many would'nt have had to be felled at Gettysburg,or Birmingham,or Kent State.or for that matter WW1, WW2,Korea,Vietnam,Afganistan,Iraq,Chicago or L.A. How about,just for the sake of life itself,we stop killing.All weapons,the ones the Government owns,both public and secret,weapons held by State,County,Cities and Towns,and all personal defense/hunting weapons be destroyed. It starts with all the World Governments disarming...everything from handguns to cruise missles to space-based lasers,tanks and warships. Then the States disarm,no lethal ability of any kind.Then and only then would the citizens of the world feel safe enough to disarm themselves and serious dialog could ensue with all the People of the World. If we allow ourselves a brief second to imagine life without fear of force,the first thing that comes to mind,my mind anyway,is how many hundreds of billions of dollars that won't be spent on feeding the killing machine.That could mean; Everybody would have a safe home. Everybody could have healthcare. Every man,woman,and child would have good food. The water could be made pure. The air could be made healthy to breathe. Dispair would'nt force people to crime or addiction,because there would be the ability to create real oppurturity,true enterprise zones in the inner city with schools with smaller class sizes,better equipment,and better administrations that don't create indroctrinated workforcers but rather respected,wellrounded individuals that are educated and able. Usually when folks meet each other on the street 'I wanna blow yer head off' is'nt their first thought.Unkind thoughts generally are not our first response.That alone tells us that deep within our being,we know each other to be good,and that is how we really want to treat each other. The deathculture crazies don't want us to be any thing like that,there's no profit in it. It must be clearly understood...There is no profit in Deathcultuer thinking! Stop supporting the resourses of the rulership.Get out of that thinktank,stick your toes in the mud.Learn to respect life in as many ways you can think of, then stop and look some more,because new ways are abundant.Respect people as people frist.Not because they have money or big guns hanging around their necks,for both of those things make them only slightly better the a shaved ape. We can change the world as a whole,as a People. We just have to change our minds.Change from being fearful,greedy,toddlers with guns and angry attitudes to Cheerful,Generuos Adults with compassion for all as caretakers of the Earth. I already know the group I belong to,so you'll find me in the south where the spring is blooming and the fullness of life is comming alive,sharing my life with alll of life where you don't need a gun.

We have this big 'push' going on lately from so-called "Christian Conservatives'.These are the same kind of yahoo's that washed up on this land 400 yaers ago.They were 'christian' and conservative of their own intrests,and sure of their god-given right to slaughter helpless Elders,women,and children to stake out their chunk of paradise and have the first 'Thanksgiving'. Today's batch of so-called 'christians'seems to be an arm of governmental control,policy makers and captains of industry.Hardly the 'Life of Poverty' we've been taught it was best to aspire to.By the way,the truest definition of 'poverty' is a life free from lust for money.Not grovelling in food lines and picking bugs out of your flour like we define 'poverty' today. Now these governmental and 'Corpie' type 'christians' are all over the place.Telling us what to watch,what to wear,whom we should hang out with,whom we should hate,and whom to trust. They have no concern for women's rights,except in the home,or for the caretaking of the Creation.These 'christians' are responsible for poisioning all life.By their Industrial operations and the environmental laws they help get passed by their 'christian' politicians.Whom later make sure fat contracts go out to these same folks,who, in the course of their doings,bring us to this 'christian' war. I have highlighted the word Christian in this discussion because there is good reason for the diffrence.The actions of the 'Christian Conservatives' are,well...the actions of the Anti-Christ.This statement comes not as an attempt to raise someone's hackles,but after long observation of The Beast. Would Christ develop an Atom Bomb? I don't think so.Would Christ build a plant that poisons every living thing by it's operation,then pay workers squat on top of endless hours of toil? I think it's safe to say NO.Would Christ weave a ball of lies and deciet and use every possible means of media with full pomp and circumstance to 'Terrorize'people into war? No. These are the actions of those who shit in the face of "Love thy Neighbor" and "Turn the other cheek". They turn the other cheek only to shield their faces from the blast.They love only the neighbor who can pick up the tab.Their axiom is 'Blessed is he who swings a mighty cross,for he shall aquire the world's wealth" Last time I checked people like that were called 'Blowhards'and their actions were seen as hipocritical. The big problem with 'Christian Conservatives' isn't their virus-like influence.It's the fact that they are hung-up on horrifying,tortureous death.That's why they worship a mutilated figure,streched on a stick,hungout like last weeks wash.Completely missing the point!! The man Jesus had to through that hell wrought by men because he taught that WE ARE living beings that never die.He came back to prove it too. Twice actually,because Thomas did'nt believe it till he saw him all hacked up.Some people are just hard to convince.He must have been a conservative. So this is your notice all you 'christian conservatives'.All your cross waving and bible thumping are meaningless trappings that conceal hearts given over to the blackest of orifices.We see whom you worship with your cruise missle collection plate and M.O.A.B. chalice. You serve a deity that measures it's congregation by 'the bottom line'.Whose only mantra is 'Conquest and Control' for 'Profit and Plunder'.Your God is paper pictures of dead genocidal maniacs with numeric symbology.One that calls for the heads of every living thing so the 'chosen' laplickers can have their 'Earthly' reward now.Because for these folks heaven would royally suck. Everybodies happy,you don't need money,there's no pollution,noone's scamming you so there's no reason to kill.In short it would be 'Christian Conservative' Hell.Maybe we could give them Hell-on-Earth here...now...today. Maybe today we could not have bad thoughts for eachother,maybe we could do something because it's the right thing to do and not for the most profit.Perhaps if an industrial plant were made that was harmless to the environment we could hearld it as a true Legacy for future generations of our human family.Perhaps if we wake up to the notion that The Creation smiles on all of us equally,there will be no more misguided notions of superiority or necessary control.When our actions are expressed as kindness to all, harm to none,then we're where we should be. We won't be 'conservative','libral','right', 'left', or even governmental.It would become unnecessary.We are the only ones who can change our world,by simply changing our minds.When we treat everyone like family,wish harm to no living thing,solve problems for the benifit of all,and take care of the Planet that gives us all life,we are living lives that are deep in spirit. As for the Anti-Christ Christian Conservatives we can only say..."Forgive them,they know not their heads are in their ass".

More and more people these days are all asking the same question;'How did we screw this up so bad?' That's a complex querie,seeing as how there were 70,000 years of human caretaking on this side of the world before Columbus,and in the 513 years hence we've turned half this land into a garbage dump. That historical fact should be the beginnings of an eye-opening.We got here full of contempt for the ruling systems we left,when we started anew we fell back on the 'old forms'.The beginning of the end! Conquest for the for the sake of depriving one of their possessions has become "The American Way',with regards to forign policy.Confiscation has become the way when dealing within our own borders.We not only set up the means to rise to the top,but,have a back-up plan to bring you down when you talk too loud about real issues or stand up for something other than rampant greed. Deciet,bribery,double-speak and force of arms has been the working practice of every President this country has ever had.The truth is Mt. Rushmore is an icon to genocide,racisim.and wontan greed.'Aquire at all costs our Manifest Destiny'should be the catch pharase at the Mount.Why? Because the faces on that rock are... Criminals!!! They all slaughtered helpless women and childern and elders,just like their contemporaries.which includes both Bush incarnations. Do I have some current facts to prove how deep these creatons will go to get their way? Sure,my own experience with 'The Beast'. Ran for Governor in my home State,a strong environmentalist and human rights activist, I was warned 'You keep your eyes open because you don't know how wierd they are going to get.'I found out in a hurry. When I said I'd finance my own campaign,( I was really being a smart ass,I'm more broke than the Ten Commandments)the system cut my V.A. pension in half.When the campaign joined up with Ojibwa 'Protect the Earth Journey'we endured police hassles and bullshit for 250 miles.At one point a Thompson (yea THAT Thompson)supporter rear-ended our car and drove off,hit and run on the Freeway.Our reply to that was an illegal march on the State Capital with a few thousand environmentalists. The treatment we got from the people on the path of the Walk was quite diffrent.They welcomed us.Gave us a place to set up camp.Fed us.Shared the stories of how their water and lands had been and continue to be poisoned by under controlled indurtrial involvment in the modern 'Manifest Dingifacation'.It is these people whom 'buy' the right to poison us all for money that are the real terrorists. There is no Freedom in a choking gas cloud. This myth of Freedom has been fed to us in layers of smoke and mirrors.We're taught that the Freedom was won,that there's a cost for Freedom,and that Freedom isn't Free.What Bullshit! We are born Free,without constraints of any kind excepting only those of simple human respect for eachother as beings of a great Creation.Freedom is what those who think they are the 'social betters 'seek to control.Freedom gives us the power to stop these zealots through the action of unity.Freedom says 'You can't poison us for your bank account balance.'Freedom says 'We decide for ourselves whom or what the real enemy of the people is.Freedom is the choice of how to deal with this enemy.Freedom is not the right to wage war at the whim of corrupt idiots who use force of arms to hide thier own dirty dealings. If we are to be truly Free,we need all voices heard in desicission making,youngest to oldest.We need true'Popular Vote' for all offices from dogcatcher to President.The press has to cast off thier kiss-ass editors in favor of those who will expose what's wrong so real problem solving could be manifested.Inteligence gathering for the sake of 'Enemy Building' must stop for it's become the weaver of lies.Killing for the sake of getting your point across has to be seen as the crutch of the weak.These so-called 'Terrorist Acts' are the response of poeple whom are greatly oppressed,by political as well as militaristic and econimic means.They represent the proverbial 'cornered' animal.We all know how that scene worksout.But that is what our leaders have done. They've put out Liberty's Torch and replaced it with a cruise missle. The Bill of Rights has been rendered 'Quaint' in the face of Homeland Security.My screen is monitered even while I write this.For the last 20 years public phones have been bugged.Twice a month every phone line in the country gets a 'listen in' and if too many 'hot phrases' get said you get put on a higher level monitor.If you and three of your friends like the same music and have similar dress...you're a gang.You can hang out with your friends and play drums in the park,but if you move into someplace hard to see into....you're a conspiritor.If you speak out for others and stand against warfare...you're un-american.When did we become such butchers? 1492,1776,1890,1969,1993 or 2003? Maybe it happened when we started to value money more than people,or was it when we left the sesspool of old Europe and found a garden here and raised contempt for the ones who took better care of thier lands than our euro ancestors. If we are ever to get out of this mess we have to do some serious 'get-it-togethering'.Change the way we look at eachother.Be honest about people whom use lies and mis-speak as an M.O. and deny them political office.Let no entity be allowed to poison the air,water and ground.Stop calling the removal of poor people from their housing to make way for a 'Valet Parking' shopping mall..urban redevelopment.We have to start living in a way that says 'We won't kill because of a disagreement but keep working for a solution,no matter how long it takes.'.There must be real effort on all our parts to recognize that we are ALL part of a great Creation.We may not understand all the how's or why's but we are still part of it,and as such, all living things are worthy of Respect,Life and Freedom with the Peace to be whatever their lifepath leads them to For it is the right of all to stand in the face of Tyrants any count. Yes, this Country and indeed all our people can be the Hearld of Freedom but we first must rest the handle from 'The Plumbers'.
