J'avais "flushé" ce blog...
...et un mois et demi plus tard j'apprend que je peux le réanimer. C'est ce que j'ai fait parce que j'avais un peu regretté l'avoir éliminé vu qu'il y a quelques textes, liens, et autres que je veux maintenant conserver comme référence.
Voici mon nouveau blog:

I had flushed this blog...
.
..only to find out a month and a half later that I could revive it. So I did, because there are a few posts, links, etc. that I had regretted flushing. This one isn't active anymore.

Nous Avons Besoin De Tout
(Je ramène ce post en top de liste. Il peut servir de mini-forum pour cette discussion. -Misko, 14 février, 09)
**** ****
Afin de voir - et le plus tôt sera le mieux - un jour disparaître cette idéologie, et cette culture putride et omnicidaire qui en est 'née', il y a entre autres le travail de démantèlement, d'annihilation de cette gigantesque tumeur aux multiples excroissances, et il y a aussi bien sûr celui de construction, de création de nouvelles/anciennes manières de vivre sensées, pragmatiques et viables.
Bon, j'ai - pas très subtilement j'en conviens - usé de la première règle en matière de propagande, qui dit que si vous pouvez leur passer 'subtilement' votre ou vos prémisses sous leur nez, vous les avez. Donc, la prémisse que je ne tiens pas à vous passer sous le nez est que cette civilisation, cette machine de mort doit disparaître. Et comme sous-prémisse(?), j'ai ajouté que le plus tôt sera le mieux. Si vous êtes d'accord, tant mieux. Sinon...et bien, bienvenue quand-même.
Je veux me concentrer présentement sur l'aspect , 'construction, création de manières de vivre viables'. C'est que je pense qu'en plus d'être absolument nécessaire à la survie de l'espèce humaine, il sera de plus en plus difficile de soi-disant 'subvenir' à nos besoins via ce 'Trou Noir' qui est entrain de Tout siphonner sur son passage. Et donc, de développer d'autres manières de vivre, maintenant - viables et donc sensées cette fois ci, du moins pour ceux qui ne pratiquaient pas déjà un tel mode de vie, afin de subvenir à tous nos besoins, que ce soit de nous nourrir, loger, vêtir, guérir, protéger, éduquer, et ainsi de suite - sera très utile, et ce , assez vite je pense.

"Violence Never Accomplishes Anything..."
"...so Pacifists say"
Excerpted from 'ENDGAME vol2 - Resistance'
by Derrick Jensen
p. 747
****
"THE FINAL ARGUMENT I'VE OFTEN HEARD FROM PACIFISTS IS THAT
violence never accomplishes anything. This argument, even more than any of the others, reveals how completely, desperately, and arrogantly out of touch many dogmatic pacifists are with physical, emotional, and spiritual reality.
If violence accomplishes nothing, how do these people believe the civilized conquered North and South America and Africa, and before these Europe, and before that the Middle East, and since then the rest of the world? The indigenous did not and do not hand over their land because they recognize they're faced with "a high stage of social and cultural development." The land was (and is) seized and the people livivng there were (and are) slaughtered, terrorized, beaten, into submission. The tens of millions of Africans killed in the slave trade would be surprised to learn their slavery was not the result of widespread violence. The same is true is true for the millions of women burned as witches in Europe. The same is true for the billions of passenger pigeons slaughtered to serve this economic system. The millions of prisoners stuck in gulags here in the U.S. and elsewhere would be astounded to discover that they can walk away anytime they want, that they are not in fact held there by force.
Do the pacifists who say this really believe that people all across the world hand over their resources to the wealthy because they enjoy being impoverished, enjoy seeing their lands and their lives stolen - sorry, I guess under this formulation they're not stolen but received gracefully as gifts - by those they evidently must perceive as more deserving? Do they believe women submit to rape just for the hell of it, and not because of the use or threat of violence?
One reason violence is used so often by those in power is because it works. It works dreadfully well.
And it can work for liberation as well as subjugation. To say that violence never accomplishes anything not only degrades the suffering of those harmed by violence but it also devalues the triumphs of those who have fought their way out of abusive or exploitative situations. Abused women or children have killed their abuseers, and become free of his abuse.
(Of course, often then the same selective law enforcement agencies and courts that failed to stop the original abuse now step in to imprison those who sent violence the wrong way up the hierarchy). And there have been many indigenous and other armed struggles for liberation that have succeeded for shorter or longer periods..."

Power - Wanbli WiWohkpe
Hau Mitakiepi,
I come from a Family, some call our Family a gang, but either way, I come from People who always exercise. We have to. Due to the implosion of the Lakota Oyate, we grew up among a constant battle, some called it a feud.
All I know is it is more important than ever to be eating healthy and exercising. I work out every day. This beast known as america cannot last much longer. Indigenous Peoples know it will last not even 4 more years. Many "activists" do not know how reliant, dependent, and adherent to the system they really are. they are soft and not hard. They are takers and not makers. They are part of the system. We currently have no authority as Indigenous Peoples. Our Elders have been erased. We have olders now with no accumulated Wisdom.
Me though, I aint playing. I eat simply. I live simply. I am hard. I am this way because of the People I have been able to be around, my Relatives. They have taught me much. Whether winged, crawling, four legged or two, I have been listening. There are some of us left. There is still Lakota Oyate Ki. We shall remain as inherent to this Homeland and Grandmother of ours as ever.
For me, the battle I grew up in never ceased. My contemporaries of my Youth lay dead because they lived it all the way to the death. This is the example I follow. I shall consistently and constantly remain a living example of these ways walking.
Power is sometimes defined as strength and speed combining as relatives. Another kind of Power is the innate and inherent Power of our Roots as Indigenous Peoples.
My Relatives, time is short. Prepare for battle. Time herself shall separate the Buffalo from the bovine. KIKTAPO! Hecetuwelo.

No Need For Missionaries Carrying Diseased Blankets Anymore...
...Now, the 'Master Puppeteers and their hordes are using the winds...to open up 'new' territories:
[Industrial Pollutants] Change DNA In Greenlandic Inuit -- Perhaps For Generations
From AntiCiv.Net News"Despite living thousands of kilometers away from industry, Greenlandic Inuit have some of the world’s highest levels of industrial pollutants in their bodies. Air currents carry the compounds north. The chemicals fall to the Earth in the cold Arctic temperatures where they contaminate soil, water and wildlife. The Inuit's exposure to industrial pollution -- mostly through their food -- is believed to be harming their reproductive, endocrine and nervous systems.
POPs are considered some of the most dangerous chemicals in the world because they are widespread, long lived, collect in fat and are associated with cancer and other diseases in wildlife and humans. Most have been banned from production/use through a global POPs treaty, but exposure continues because they persist in the environment.
In this study, scientists measured several industrial pollutants -- including DDT and PCBs -- in blood samples collected through the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP). DNA methylation was determined in the same blood samples. The influence of age, smoking and other variable were taken into account in the study.
The researchers examined 71 blood samples from people between the ages of 19 and 67. The POPs levels measured in the samples "rank among the highest in the world," according to the authors."ORIGINAL SOURCE: Environmental Health News
