Native American Rights. The thoughts of a leader.

Let me introduce to you, Ben Carnes, Choctaw, a leader among all the tribes, a man who has seen the inside of prison and come out to lead spiritually and politically in the struggle for Native American Rights.

The struggle of many groups for their rights has been long recognized, and the state of these groups has improved, but the Native Americans are still denied the full use of our lands, and the treaties ignored, with the Federal Government claiming possession of lands that belong by treaty to the Native American Tribes, the original inhabitants of Turtle Island, the land now know as North America, comprising the United States of America and Canada.

Our government is now also treating the descendants of the Europeans, except for the genocide, as subjects, not citizens. When they come to take your lands, who will be there to stand beside you and defend that land that once was held by my people, and now you believe you own?

The incidents of local governments using Eminent Domain to confiscate the lands and home of private citizens for commercial projects have just begun. Only a few communities have been affected, two close to each other in Texas.

Will you continue to close your eyes to injustice?

Eminent Domain defined:

Eminent domain (United States, Canada), compulsory purchase (United Kingdom, New Zealand, Ireland), resumption/compulsory acquisition (Australia) or expropriation (South Africa and Canada's common law systems) is the inherent power of the state to seize a citizen's private property, expropriate property, or seize a citizen's rights in property with due monetary compensation, but without the owner's consent. The property is taken either for government use or by delegation to third parties who will devote it to public or civic use or, in some cases, economic development. The most common uses of property taken by eminent domain are for public utilities, highways, and railroads[citation needed], however it may also be taken for reasons of public safety, such as in the case of Centralia, Pennsylvania. Some jurisdictions require that the government body offer to purchase the property before resorting to the use of eminent domain. The legal doctrine of eminent domain, like the doctrine of seizure of contraband, allows expropriation of property within the existing system of law. Otherwise, expropriation may imply either a criminal or a revolutionary act.

Iranian Protests Again

The Iranian Green opposition is at it again and seems even more determined than ever to force change in the Regime of Ahmadinejhad and the Mullahs. They are willing to face death, and have attacked both the militia and the police this time.

Please pray for this courageous people who are determined to overthrow the current regime.

Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei could flee to Russia should the situation in his country continue to spiral out of control, according to Radio Netherlands.

The media organization reports that the Supreme National Security Council ordered a check-up Sunday of the jet on standby to evacuate Khamenei and his family should the need arise."

Will the Iranian people throw off the shackles this time, or will the military move in great violence against their own people while the Grand Ayatollah is safely out of the country, leaving his hand puppet, Ahmadinejhad in charge?

Let us pray that they win their freedom.

The truth of the History of Native Americans and this Nation.

How many of you know the true history of the United States regardin the treatment or mistreatment actually of Native Americans throughout our history? This is not the history you learned in public schools or college.

Columbus didn't "discover" America, he stumbled upon Turtle Island as it was known before the Europeans came. He proceeded to enslave the Indigenous Natives of the islands first, the Caribs, followed by those on other islands, in hte pursuit of wealth to pay back his debt to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. He allowed his men to rape and murder women as they wished, and to murder any native man on a whim, like to test the sharpness of their blades.

You can't cram all the history into five episodes, but the five episodes on PBS are well researched, historically accurate, and balanced.

One of the episodes, number 3, is the story of my people, the Cherokee, or Aniunwiyun as they were know to themselves. It is perhaps the best example of how a people who had done all they could to adapt white culture were cheated of their land, promised in perpetutiy by treaty, by the signing of the "New Echota Treaty", a treaty signed by men who had not the authority to represent the whole of the Cherokee Nation.

I pray that you will watch all five episodes, in order, to get a better appreciation of why we are still fighting for our rights.

I'll choose Freedom

Gagging the Opposition

The powers that be in Congress have gone through a government agency to start an investigation into HumanaCare for mailing out brochures to their insured customers explaining changes to their health care under Medicare Plus if the reforms being considered in both houses of Congress now are passed.

The transcript of Sen. Mitch McConell's comments on the actions taken at the request of Sen. Max Baucus are found at the link provided by clicking on the title for this particular blog.

It is generally accepted in law and precedents set that are followed in court that Corporations have a right to Free Speech under the First Amendment just as citizens do.

Amendment I §

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

To deny a corporation the right to communicate with it's customers is without precedent, but if this is not stopped, a precedent will have been set that leads down a primrose path.

Are you prepared to surrender your First Amendment rights to communicate to others your concerns and complaints to government actions, you right to petition for redress of grievances?

Complain, loudly and often to your Senators and Representatives about such infringements on you Constitutionally protected Rights. They are not Privileges to be doled out by Washington DC, they are our inalienable rights.

Okay, I have been falling behind again, so here are links with a vendetta in mind, against those who would enslave us in the name of "Freedom".

This Administration is obviously taking us down the primrose path, not at a walk, but at a dead run. Those who would surrender their liberties for security deserve neither. Ben Franklin I think, but check me at Bartlebys.com.

In mitigation of my protracted absence. I have been ill again; some king of infection spread in my blood, musical chairs with medications, on Cipro for the nest three weeks, and tha is after a week of it already.
Doing better now, thank you for asking.

Folks, let me add to this that statin drugs for cholesterol are one of the ost dangerous, the most deadly drugs on the market. Don't take them, there are safer ways to lower cholesterol, beginning with diet.

God Bless America, we are going to need His help more than ever these days.

A few thoughts on HealthCare

President Obama and his henchmen and women are calling people who are opposing the Healthcare plan fishy, evil, troublemakers, unpatriotic, un-American, Fascists, and Nazis for expressing opposition to the bill, and asking serious questions at Town Hall meetings.

Town Hall meetings held by Democrats are increasingly being packed with union members who are told to arrive early. Members of the SEIU have perpetrated violence against one man, and threatened and harassed others, outside of the meetings.

These tactics have one thing in common, TYRANNY. The Bolsheviks used these tactics, Stalin used these tactics, Hitler used these tactics. Every election with few exceptions, on the African continent,
are plagued by the use of these tactics by tyrants. The Chinese still use these tactics, although they have shifted to a more capitalistic economy.

Are we entering and age of world wide tyranny in every country? Truth is, we have never left the world of tyranny behind, except for a few shining examples, like Great Britain, and the United States, and Canada, and Japan and Germany. But like the rest of the world, even these free and democratic nations are being chipped away at.

I believe in the eschatological interpretation of the book of Revelation which holds that before the return of Christ, the world will fall under the rule of a one world government, a tyranny which will become the most vicious there has ever been. The signs that we are fast approaching this world end are everywhere, yet none of us can say with certainty when Christ will come, or when the Anti-Christ will reveal himself.

So in the mean time, walk with the Lord, vote for people who exhibit Christ on the outside, and not just make a show of Christianity, continue to love one another, reach the lost, help the poor and the widows and orphans.

Stay occupied in the things that the Lord has asked of us, and we will not be found napping when He comes.
