Born in the Caribbean island The Dominican Republic in 1953, during a tyrannical time of brutal dictatorship under President Trujillo.  In 1965, at age 12 I was brought to New York City by my Mother, who had divorced my Dad a year earlier.  The US Navy had just invaded D.R. to prevent a Democratic electorate process from going forward toward a socialist head of State immediately following a people's revolt, which assassinated Dictator Trujillo, after   enduring severe longtime despotism. Since then, the Dominican Republic has been under US control,  which of course is the reason to also never allow Haiti's autonomy, which shares a Third of the Island in the middle of the Caribbean Ocean.

What high power has ever bestowed a Country like the US  the right to interfere with other governments on Earth???
That per Dr. Martin Luther King;"The US is the worst purveyor of destruction throughout The World" is an understatement...
 
ξ That religion has been a mayor culprit in this effort...

Bella's recommendation on this read...  "Not only is it the true riveting historical depiction of the US illegal intervention into the Philippines/Puerto Rico and Cuba beginning in 1898-99, under false pretence to be on the side of the Philippines at Manila Bay, to help as well fence off the Spaniards from its stronghold of Philippino lands, but a complete early colorful archive of US  false political propaganda, which to date has been so perfected into maintaining an entire population in the dark..."  " Truly, History 101-a new revelation on what US History books should say, but do not !!!..."

     Some renown Authors' commentaries...
¨ The brutal war waged by the United States against the Filipino people at the turn of the century has been shrouded in darkness for a long time, the truth concealed from generations of Americans. THE FORBIDDEN BOOK brings that shameful episode in our history out in the open, with a wonderful combination of crystal-clear text and extraordinary cartoons. The book deserves wide circulation.
-Howard Zinn, Professor Emeritus, Boston University; author of A People's History of the United States

¨ Brimming with insights into the beginnings of American imperial policy overseas, this book reconstructs an era that was to shape and refine U.S. intervention in the modern world. Through political cartoons in an era when the colonizer itself worked to hide the truth from the American people about the forgotten war a century ago, this book restores for the present generation a past marred by misinformation, racism, blind patriotism and outright lies. A thought-provoking education about the miseducation of the American people by arrogant imperial leaders whose successors never seem to learn the lessons of history. A particularly relevant book which makes it essential reading for the present generation of Filipinos and other colonial subjects of the modern PAX AMERICANA.

-Roland G. Simbulan, Professor of Development Studies & Public Management, and Vice Chancellor, University of the Philippines

¨ In this extraordinary collection of political cartoons from the period of the Philippine-American War and subsequent colonization, frank visual satire and caricature vibrate with 'forgotten' histories from the turn of the 19th century: they link U.S. imperial conquests in the Pacific to those in the Caribbean, refract American perceptions of Filipinos through its devastating treatments of blacks and native peoples, explicitly admit U.S. ambitions to employ not only war, but education and culture, to surpass the reach and power of the European empires by the end of the 20th century. These 'forbidden' images are windows onto an earlier moment in the history of American empire, a history in which we still live and struggle today.

-Lisa Lowe, Professor of Comparative Literature, University of California, San Diego; author of Immigrant Acts.

    
       Who knows democracy???   Sadly, only those in other lands who have been denied participatory communion
       in their respective  lands in the electorate structure, may be best qualified to understand what it means....

Constitution anyone????

The following material is from my up coming future Book...  An expose on the US presidency;that all those taken the oath to defend the US interests has been a well lid farce ...  Are all US presidents criminals?????

On July 4th, 1776, The Western Northern lands (Later to be known as The US), signed a Declaration of Independence from Great Britain's colonizing/tyrannical/taxing & economic systems that was being imposed on these lands, do to their long time land conquests.

OK, but what needed to happen next for these lands to cohesively operate within a collective social, commerce, taxing and more importantly for the times being developed, politically?
Here's some background:
Between 1776 and 1780, every state had written its own constitution, and even before the Declaration of Independence was signed , New Hampshire, South Carolina, Virginia and New Jersey (in that order) had adopted provisional constitutions, and Rhode island had converted its original colonial charter to the equivalent of a constitution by removing all references to Great Britain and king George III.  Soon by the end of 1776, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina, and Connecticut (in that order) had followed suit.  And in 1777, Georgia, New York, and Vermont followed the craze, so in June of 1780 the Massachusetts constitutional convention ratified its own state constitution.  Thirteen states in all…

So now comes crunch time…
Decision time became a major preoccupation for this emerging nation!  Well, those who would benefit by rearranging the new political system structure under which a very few would have a say so over the very many got very busy…

Thus, an effort to forge a new nation began, for these lands to weather be governed
as a loose federation of 13 independent states or would it be a single unified nation, made up of separate, but independent states?

So, it would take ten more years for a Convention to be convened where a greater number of states would begin to participate in dialogue on the Articles of a Confederation.  However, all along, these Articles of Confederation were being hammered out between some states, interested parties, etc. In effect, it created a "Continental Congress".  Under this Continental Congress a national government would function solely through its legislature managed by this Congress.

Finally, this Congress found the time to approve the fist American constitution
on November 15, 1777, known as The Articles of Confederation.

This new Congress was empowered to declare war and make peace, draft men for the army, conduct diplomatic relations with foreign countries, regulate American Indian affairs, coin money, and issue currency.  But Congress could not levy taxes and was therefore entirely dependent on the individual states to contribute monies voluntarily to enable Congress to carry out its national duties.  Indeed, the Articles left no doubt that the states were supreme over this newly formed Congress, where each state retained its sovereignty, freedom, independence, every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States in congress assembled.
Congress could recommend laws to the states, but each state held final authority to pass only such legislation as it saw fit, regardless of any conflicts among the different states.

Further, the Articles established no single head of the national government nor did it institute a system of national courts.

The very organization of this new government under the articles of Federation, fostered
a weak, leaderless, and decentralized system.  Delegates to Congress were selected annually by state legislatures.   No delegate could serve more than three out of every six years, thereby preventing experienced representatives from helping to improve the functioning of the national government on a consistent basis.  To add to the lack of continuity, sessions of congress rotated among Philadelphia, Princeton, Annapolis, and New York City and on many occasions not enough state representatives were present to constitute a quorum (the minimum number necessary to conduct a valid session), thereby preventing any business from being accomplished.

Meanwhile, what was being now called "America", was still fighting a war with Britain, which did not end until Lord Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington at Yorktown in 1781.

But to skip over much detail, on September 17, 1787, after the final draft of the Constitution was read to the delegates, Benjamin Franklin made an impassioned plea to any who had reservations and join in unanimously supporting it.

Franklin confessed that 'there are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve," but having lived so long he said he had learned "to pay more respect to the judgment of others."  He observed that most men "think themselves in possession of all truth." 

However, in 1776, an opportunity to remove the stain of slavery was squandered.  Despite the principles of equality and freedom that animated the declaration of independence and despite the devotion of all the delegates to these abstract ideals, at no point did the Convention officially consider the abolition of slavery.

And since these struggles for independence, 41 Presidents have been swarmed into the US Office of the presidency...



Planting Seeds...
Bella  De Soto wrote on 9/01/03, while I volunteered for then, US Pres. Dem. Candidate Dennis J. Kucinich.

Silence of the lambs no more...

What is this "Shadow Government Worldwide"?  The tip of the Iceberg...

On two recent books by Chalmers Johnson: "Blow back", & most recently
"The Sorrows of Imperialism, Secrecy & The End of Empire", outlining for us quite eloquently;
intent/root cause/symptom/ideology, & consequence of U.S. National & International Policies,
by referencing these strategies to the prevalent parallels of The Roman Empire's eminence & downfall documented in history.
Several books have been written over time in attempt to disclose/expose the sad state of
governance in this country, like the series 1985 "The Unseen Hand"  488 PP, Volumes 1 & 2, by Author
A. Ralph Epperson on Publius Press, Tucson, AZ.  A brilliant thorough compellation of introduction
to the conspiratorial view of History of the Elite/Shadow Government in the US and globally.
Sample excerpt: P 24... Should war as a means of acquiring property fail, those who wish to acquire the
property of others must design other strategies.  One method was earlier devised was...  See other frame below...
In order to tie it all together/comprehend all the ills committed by our Government, under the banner of
defending democracy/liberating peoples/stopping the spread of communism, hence ( "The Cold War" era was propagandized, to deceitfully sell the U.S. pop. the need to invade all over the world), which in reality is to prevent any country rich with natural resources/national civil policies from advancing its national interests,
why is so crucial we must put into perspective the context under which many elected officials, both Republican/Democrat have acted in unison to create for many years this "Shadow Government"
to benefit their pockets, while turning a blind eye!!!!
"Case in point;why Wars are so profitable for this "Shadow Government".
With regards to U.S. multinational Co's., ushered in a century long to date of U.S. military
interventions/ covert/overt insurgencies through military might, CIA orchestrated civil riots,
coups, regime change by assassination of democratically elected heads of states on a global scale. 
Thereby installing/sustaining puppet regimes (Dictators/Client States) with our Income Tax dollars
throughout the Globe in over 50 years !!! 
These Client Governments (puppet regimes), must never consider their respective country's
national interests, rather to sell out/give away all national resources to multi national Corporations. 
Of course, these Companies operate in continents around The World  with impunity!  Meaning,
this could not be possible without a nudge from our own U.S. Congress/The IMF/WTO/World Bank,
& other forces to insure U.S. interests (these Companies's insatiable culture of greed for wealth)
the only concern satisfied, without regard to the local needs of the peoples, from human/civil rights,
the right to assemble/organize for labor representation to negotiate/demand living wages/adequate
working conditions, etc...  
Instead, terrific chaos/destruction in the environment/fishery/agriculture/export/import/displacement
of farmers caused to lose their farms for hostile takeover by the influence of these Corporations/
ecological fabric of these countries.  It should not be surprising that among these sick Corporate
structures are Golf & Western/Oil Contortions/G.E./Monsanto/Enron/Hali Burton/Bechtel/the 6 Media
& Clear Channel Corporations, controlling all programming on the Tube/Print/Radio, & through great
efforts by the FCC, to allow for further consolidation by the big 6 & Clear Channel to completely control
all dissemination of information!!!
In short, America, while all its manufacturing jobs are been exported at an alarming rate in pursue
of cheaper & cheaper labor, without Environmental/worker rights, or protection laws, our country is
nearing becoming a consumptive/service/none manufacturing, & Fascist country, where labor right
is attacked daily to squelch resistance to this "Shadow Government".
We Americans, through shear apathy, resulting in ignorance/lack of info, have allowed/maintained the
endurance of this U.S. destructive/endemic campaign!!!
In closing, it may be easy for some to be confused from a line up of 9 Democratic Presidential
contenders...  However, if you truly read/hear the stark differences among them, It is very easy
distinguishing which one offers America a real choice for the progressive needed changes. 

Ohio Dem. Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich is that candidate, as CO-CHAIR to The Progressive
Caucus in Congress, currently championing Legislation for Healthcare for all Americans, no if's,
or buts, as the only man in Congress ever to lead instituting a Peace Department, to counter a
pervasive Defense Dept. (Offense Dept.), and a relentless fighter for social justice every/any where.
Mr. Kucinich will eliminate The WTO/NAFTA/The false War on Drugs/legalize medicinal drugs,
preserve/insist on all human/worker/Gay rights, re-appeal the infamous Oct/02 preemptive attack
resolution/all recent tax cuts/protect our global environment, etc. 
With this progressive platform, Mr. Kucinich is well poised to receive his party's nomination. 

Recently, notably Mr. Howard Dean has been getting much media coverage with falsehoods,
and Mr. J. Kerry, at Meet The Press on Sun/8/31/03 was confronted with the revealing inquiry
about his involvement in the secret society of "Skull & Bones" at Yale University; his reply
was condescending "Well no comments, is secret!", while also flip flopping on several issues
then/now!!!  Well, when debate time comes around, we'll see who's vision is really true.

So please do the right thing when your vote counts...

About Free Speech TV
The Nation's First Progressive Television Channel
Free Speech TV reaches over 25 million homes in the U.S.
What Democracy Looks Like

Finally, after 50 years of television broadcasting, there now exists a national television channel that reflects the diversity of our society, provides perspectives that are under-represented or ignored by the mainstream media, and shines a national spotlight on engaged citizens working for progressive social change.

Our Structure
Free Speech TV is a publicly-supported, independent, non-profit TV channel that is a project of Public Communicators, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit, tax-exempt organization. It is available nationally, 24/7, on DISH Satellite Network. Selected programs are available on 140 community access cable stations in 30 states. Click here to see the members of the Free Speech TV Advisory Board

The Vision
Seizing the power of television to expand social consciousness, FSTV fuels the movement for progressive social, economic, and political transformation. By exposing the public to perspectives excluded from the corporate-owned media, FSTV empowers citizens to fight injustices, to revitalize democracy, and to build a more compassionate world.

Programming
Free Speech TV broadcasts independently-produced documentaries dealing with social, political, cultural, and environmental issues; commissions and produces original programming; develops programming partnerships and collaborations with social justice organizations; provides special live broadcasts from remote locations; and maintains an adjunct Web site that hosts one of the Internet’s largest collection of progressive audio and video content.

Core Strategies
Movement Building — Empowering global citizens, by exposing abuse of power in all its forms, and by highlighting efforts of resistance.

Partnerships — Building partnerships with social justice organizations and directing viewers to their work.
Independent Media — Working with, and supporting the growth of independent media.
Creativity — Celebrating creativity and artistic expression as a vital part of any healthy society.

History
Free Speech TV was founded in 1995, but our roots extend back to The 90’s public television show and The 90’s Channel on cable television, both of which were founded in 1989. From 1995 to 2000, we provided weekly programming via videotape to a network of 50 community cable channels. In 2000, FSTV realized its goal of launching the first national progressive television network when it was awarded a full-time satellite channel on DISH Network as a result of an FCC policy to set aside 4%-7% of satellite channels for public interest channels.

"Every day and night, hard-working people come home from their jobs and turn on their TV sets. Never before have they had so many channels to choose from, yet never before have their choices been so limited. ... Americans want a channel that is dedicated to asking the hard questions about the issues affecting their kids’ future. They want a channel that’s not afraid to confront abuses of power that rob them of jobs, health care, a meaningful education, a clean environment, civil rights for all, and a government by, for and of the people. . . . Free Speech TV stands alone in the industry in its dedication to creating such a channel."

-TIME FOR JUSTICE-
   On Mon, 10 May 2004, at 7:00 PM some of us Activists met at Restaurant to put fourth strategies to Impeachment of the US President George W. Bush...

    A few weeks later this meeting 10 of us met with Congressman Henry Waxman at his office, to appeal to him, and present a clear case for Impeachment.
  
    To our chagrin, he was not moved...
    His comment was that his guy was then running fro US President-John Kerry, and that under the current political climate it would be too difficult to even think about it! 
    That he would continue exposing the no bid contracts to Companies as Hali Burton and the likes...

    Each one of us made a presentation for Impeachment, but
    withou avail!!!  I even read a then most moving recent open letter from
  
   Mr. Ramsey Clark...


Coming soon an Open Letter (Circa 2004) from Mr. Ramsey Clark...

Religion = Business (Capitalism)
Religion = Business (Capitalism)
Bella says  ¬®   Religion = Business (Capitalism)
Ala/Jesus Christ (Jesu Cristo)/Mohammad/Jehovah, the Bible, etc., and all Mythical Deities have been created over the centuries as security blankets, but to spouse & foster false security.  Prophets are not Gods, but mere MORTALS Men/Women, and Gods do not exist...  But we Humans, are high beings, therefore, are the high ones.  Is time we take this responsibility...  Professing falsehoods has kept the World population in a stupor of blinded devotion, difficult to relinquish.  Until we take the step to analyse this critical matter, we Humans, will never be able to reclaim our personal / individual supreme values...

Fundamental to consumerism/commercialism is Religion = Business/Capitalism...
God was fabricated by the World Gentry to rule the rest... 
Please wake up everybody...  
The lure of consumerism is the sleeping giant...    
Our sub-conscience has been contaminated since in the womb,
that we humans have no inner strength except derived from some
external supernatural higher being as a supreme reality! 

Of course, in any Religion/Church we are taught not to even think about any earthly matters because "That other supreme being!!!" is the only one who holds the lever...

That all our earthly concerns are of no consequence in the now, but instead to not
worry our tiny heads, for we can not change anything!!!!!!!!!!!   (The gentry can!!!!!)

What bull is this???????????  I am a person of supreme value!  Therefore, I matter, therefore, my surrounding must concern me, and all those in that space, etc,etc,etc...

Brotherhood/Sisterhood?  No thanks, not in this Club!  Sadly, all those in it can't bring them selves to see the reality!

Subject: "Community Garden Pulled By Its Roots"
After much has been written over this matter, here's my take,
while reviewing the legend, & recently consulting with the
Gardeners/Farmer's Rep. Ms. Rufina Juarez Sat. 11/15/03.
The highlights are:
Food Safety
Open Park
Family Space
Activities
Self Reliance
At a perilous time of history in LA, following the Riots in 1992,
a unique space of land (14 acres) was considered/designated to
provide much relief to an already disenfranchised community
around 41st Street/Alameda.
Through an agreement bet. The City of LA & the LA Regional
Food Band, the 2nd-largest distributor of free food to the urban poor,
to use these 14 acres as a community Park Garden. 
Henceforth 11 years, 347 families have been partaking  in this venture as organic
farmers, forming a most formidable environment.  By harvesting an assortment
of organic vegetables, essential to any diet, which feed each family, who's
make-up is bet. 5-8 members, as also benefiting the nearby residents.
Now, for political gains, this effort is being used as a bargaining chip, by some LA
City Council Elected Officials!!!
Food Safety:
The vegetables grown in this Park are fresh, organic,
seasonal, not readily available at the local markets!

Open Park:
In South Central LA, this Park, is a safe environment, free of gang/crime activity,
in an area plagued by these, it is unique in itself! 
Under favorable wether conditions, about 1,000.00 neighborhood folk stroll
weekly through the Park Gardens, to pick their weekly vegetables, habits developed
over the past 11 years.
It is one of ten such Parks in the poorest LA neighborhoods, but the only one of its size,
and achievements.

Family Space:
Each family responsible for its lot space, which range in different configurations, minds the
maintenance & security, as children run free, while adults attend the crops.
About 50% of these families reside in this community, & the rest in the surrounding areas.
This Park Garden, is an inviting space for all to share in something very special worth preserving!
It has become a main staple to South Central LA, since inception.

Activities/Self reliance:
There are regular monthly meetings among the families harvesting the 14 acres, to discuss main-
tenance, etc.  One idea, which sprung with the alliance of LA Community Gardens since April, till
the City notice in Sept., was the farmer's market, to service the community, with entertaining
activities for the kids.
This space, is consistently used by Public Schools & Non Profits on their field trips.
During the Summer months, workshops on Compost/Organic Fertilizer, Water Conservation, Efficient
Planting & Space Usage are taught by volunteer master gardeners.
The LA Regional Food Bank located across from the Park, routinely receives donations of organic materials
& seeds, for use in the Park.  Thereby facilitating a perpetual self reliance mode.
Through these means of harvesting, these families promote clean air & the value of growing food vs just
picking from the rack at the store.  These values are not taught in our Public Schools, therefore, this Park serves
this necessity!

Closing Statement:
It is clearly demonstrated heretofore, that hope and pride can thrive from a 20 x 20 piece of land, if you can harvest it
with your own hands, and the teaching of ancient values can be passed on to young generations, to insure our
obligation to take care of our Mother Earth.
It is your conscience, at this time, which can, or not do the right thing!

Nobody sees a flower, really - it is so small - we haven't time, and to see takes time,
like to have a friend takes time...                Georgia O'Keeffe

ALWAYS AGAINST THE TIE...
NOT EASY WHEN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MAINTAINS PERPETUAL SHACKLES ON A NAIVE POPULOUS, WHO CONTINUES VOTING AGAINST THEIR INTEREST EVERY TIME THEY VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS...

IF THE FEW LIKE KUCINICH / LEE & MCKINNEY WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND JOIN BERNEY SANDERS-INDEPENDENT, VT.  NOW RUNNING FOR THE US SENATE TO REPLACE SEAT HELD BY A FORMER REPUBLICAN SENATOR, JIM JEFFORDS, WHO BAILED OUT AND BECAME INDEPENDENT WHEN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TOOK OVER THE HOUSE/SENATE IN 2000, AND BEGAN PUSHING DRACONIAN LAWS...

So who is owed all the respect and thanks for always exposing NOT JUST the Liberal intelligencia in the US, but of course, the ruthless ways of the conservatives (but mostly all Neo-Cons)???? 
RALPH NADER THAT'S WHO!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW DARE ANYONE EVEN SPEAK OF MR. RALPH NADER IN THE SAME BREATH OF Democrats/Liberals!!!

Who is Emperialist?  Liberal Democrats that's who!  Who is Emperialist?  Conservatives that's who!  Who is Emperialist/Fascist?  Neo-Cons That's who!

Ingnorance kills... Wake up all, is a new dawn!

Why did the democratic Party invested so much money to sue Mr. Ralph Nader in olmost every State of the union, to of course prevent him any possible edge ????

Why did they?    More shameful still, the so called "legal Liberty Unions for Social defense" all, declined to assist him and his team, TO FIGHT BACK THE POWERFUL DEMOCRATIC MACHINE, so who could he get help from but from some Republicans with a heart....

of course, this was most ideal for the Democratic Party to also use in their insistent false propaganda against Mr. Ralph Nader!

To be continued soon...

This sentiment echoes the famous statement of Rev. Martin Neimoeller afterWorld War II about his native Germany:
First they came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't aCommunist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a
Protestant. Then they came for me, but by that time, no one was left to speak up.

ROTINONHSONNION:WE INTERNATIONAL PETITION

TO: MME. MICHAELLE JEAN, GOVERNOR GENERAL OF CANADA info@gg.ca
And MR. GEORGE BUSH, PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES comments@whitehouse.gov

FROM: THE ROTINONHSONNION:WE/SIX NATIONS CONFEDERACY, OUR FRIENDS, ALLIES AND
SUPPORTERS

REGARDING: THE ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF OUR INDIGENOUS LAND ON TURTLE ISLAND NORTH

WE OBJECT TO:

1. THE INVASION AND OCCUPATION OF TURTLE ISLAND NORTH BY COLONIAL
GOVERNMENTS AND THEIR CORPORATE ENTITIES;
2. THEIR VIOLATION OF THE NATURAL RIGHTEOUSNESS EMBODIED IN THE
KIANEREHKOWA, OUR GREAT LAW OF PEACE; AND THEIR ONGOING AGGRESSION AGAINST NATURE;
3. THE VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAWS; AND
4. THE CRIMINALIZATION OF OUR PEOPLE WHO PROTECT OUR LAWS, LANDS AND PEOPLE.
DATE: November 16, 2006

WHEREAS, UN Resolution 1514 affirmed independence of Indigenous people and that
colonial practices violate international law. UNTS 1021 condemns colonial states
that force assimilation policies on us which constitutes genocide. [The Mabo case
in Australia];
WHEREAS, the Noongar Aborigines of Australia were affirmed on September 21, 2006, as holding title to Western Australia in Bennell v. State of
Western Australia, by proving they continue to exist and are still part of the land.
WHEREAS the UN Charter requires that its members cannot use armed force to resolve international differences.
WHEREAS these colonial states must respect the political rights of the People as set out in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights;
WHEREAS General Assembly Resolution 1541 (XV) requires the informed consent of a people before they are included in another state [Western Sahara case];

WHEREAS the United Nations Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination found on March 6, 2006 that the United States was
denying the Western Shoshone people “their rights to own, develop, control and use their land and resources”.

WHEREAS international law rejects colonial encroachment on our land; that our land cannot be developed without consultation with us and our consent; and our perspectives cannot be ignored;

WE, THE ROTINONHSONNION:WE, wish to end the breach of the peace that is being inflicted upon us.

a). Our governance is based on relations of equality and mutual respect as affirmed by the Kaianereh’ko:wa, our Great Law of Peace. Our relationship with the colonists is based on the Guswentah, the Two Row Wampum. We agreed to travel on different paths on the same river without interfering with each other.

b). We are the trustees of our land for the future generations of our People and cannot be alienated. Colonial states have removed many of us to exploit our resources.

c). Colonial states have failed to respect their promises to protect us from their encroachment. Squatters illegally occupy our land, steal our resources and poison our land, water and air almost beyond repair. Corporate government, entities and agendas have been illegally imposed on us.

d). We took our issues with Canada to the League of Nations. In 1923 the Six Nations Confederacy from Grand River sent Deskaheh to apply for membership and was denied a hearing. His mistreatment set a precedent for colonial states to ignore the sovereignty of Indigenous nations worldwide upon whose land colonial states have imposed themselves. We have been silenced and denied our rightful place as equals with all other nations in the world.

e). Their justice system functions to keep the stolen property, to continue the theft and to undermine us. No third party can be neutral in mediating the disputes between the colonizers and their victims.

f). Returning to the principles of natural righteousness can attain peace and equity and return our ecosystem to a healthy state.

WE, THE ROTINONHSONNION:WE, AND OUR SUPPORTERS, WISH TO PROTECT OUR PHYSICAL INTEGRITY AND OUR LEGAL RIGHTS THROUGH PEACEFUL MEANS.
1.That colonial states uphold freedom, justice and peace including our inherent right of self-determination. They cannot force their laws on us without our fully informed consent and consensus of the majority of our people.
2. That our land belongs to the faces yet unborn. We maintain our stewardship so our children will be born free from bondage.
3. That we be dealt with on a nation-to-nation basis. Colonial states cannot deal through their unlawfully imposed corporate puppets backed by armed threats [band and tribal councils]. We have a right to exist. Creation gave us the natural instinct and will to survive.
4. The “rule of law” comes from Creation. It encompasses all that is good for humanity, that of being one mind based on natural righteousness. To create peace we must live in balance with the natural world, according to our own teachings, direction, language and culture. Foreigners to Turtle Island must respect the
Indigenous law of our land. They cannot legislate over or judge us.
5. Colonial states cannot criminalize us for upholding our obligations. We have an inherent right to preserve our land for our coming generations. Our acts have been defensive and peaceful.
6. Colonists came here to escape atrocities. They now commit these against us, eroding and destroying everything that helped us to survive. We wish to return to all that has sustained us.
7. We have a right to live a healthful and meaningful life. We can conserve the biological and cultural diversity of our ecosystem so that our children and people shall not suffer.

WE, THE ROTINONHSONNION:WE, insist that all our lands, right and possessions be restored to us.
For 500 years we resisted colonial efforts to do away with us and impose their unnatural institutions on us. The colonizers need to develop a peaceful relationship with us according to the principles of the Two Row Wampum agreement,
that they remain on their ship and not steer our canoe. The formula to peace is the Kaianereh’ko:wa, which was meant for everyone. To develop humanity and sustain life we must all come together as one with our environment.

Silencio de las Obejas no mas...
(El resto sera traducido pronto...)  Tiempo es el enemigo...

What is this "Shadow Government Worldwide"?  The tip of the Iceberg...

On two recent books by Chalmers Johnson: "Blow back", & most recently
"The Sorrows of Imperialism, Secrecy & The End of Empire", outlining for us quite eloquently;
intent/root cause/symptom/ideology, & consequence of U.S. National & International Policies,
by referencing these strategies to the prevalent parallels of The Roman Empire's eminence & downfall documented in history.
Several books have been written over time in attempt to disclose/expose the sad state of
governance in this country, like the series 1985 "The Unseen Hand"  488 PP, Volumes 1 & 2, by Author
A. Ralph Epperson on Publius Press, Tucson, AZ.  A brilliant thorough compellation of introduction
to the conspiratorial view of History of the Elite/Shadow Government in the US and globally.
Sample excerpt: P 24... Should war as a means of acquiring property fail, those who wish to acquire the
property of others must design other strategies.  One method was earlier devised was...  See other frame below...
In order to tie it all together/comprehend all the ills committed by our Government, under the banner of
defending democracy/liberating peoples/stopping the spread of communism, hence ...
( "The Cold War" era was propagandized, to deceitfully sell the U.S. pop. the need to invade all over the world), which in reality is to prevent any country rich with natural resources/national civil policies from advancing its national interests,
why is so crucial we must put into perspective the context under which many elected officials, both Republican/Democrat have acted in unison to create for many years this "Shadow Government" to benefit their pockets, while turning a blind eye!!!!
"Case in point;why Wars are so profitable for this "Shadow Government".
With regards to U.S. multinational Co's., ushered in a century long to date of U.S. military
interventions/ covert/overt insurgencies through military might, CIA orchestrated civil riots,
coups, regime change by assassination of democratically elected heads of states on a global scale. 
Thereby installing/sustaining puppet regimes (Dictators/Client States) with our Income Tax dollars
throughout the Globe in over 50 years !!! 
These Client Governments (puppet regimes), must never consider their respective country's
national interests, rather to sell out/give away all national resources to multi national Corporations. 
Of course, these Companies operate in continents around The World  with impunity!  Meaning,
this could not be possible without a nudge from our own U.S. Congress/The IMF/WTO/World Bank,
& other forces to insure U.S. interests (these Companies's insatiable culture of greed for wealth)
the only concern satisfied, without regard to the local needs of the peoples, from human/civil rights,
the right to assemble/organize for labor representation to negotiate/demand living wages/adequate
working conditions, etc...  
Instead, terrific chaos/destruction in the environment/fishery/agriculture/export/import/displacement
of farmers caused to lose their farms for hostile takeover by the influence of these Corporations/
ecological fabric of these countries.  It should not be surprising that among these sick Corporate
structures are Golf & Western/Oil Contortions/G.E./Monsanto/Enron/Hali Burton/Bechtel/the 6 Media
& Clear Channel Corporations, controlling all programming on the Tube/Print/Radio, & through great
efforts by the FCC, to allow for further consolidation by the big 6 & Clear Channel to completely control
all dissemination of information!!!
In short, America, while all its manufacturing jobs are been exported at an alarming rate in pursue
of cheaper & cheaper labor, without Environmental/worker rights, or protection laws, our country is
nearing becoming a consumptive/service/none manufacturing, & Fascist country, where labor right
is attacked daily to squelch resistance to this "Shadow Government".
We Americans, through shear apathy, resulting in ignorance/lack of info, have allowed/maintained the
endurance of this U.S. destructive/endemic campaign!!!
In closing, it may be easy for some to be confused from a line up of 9 Democratic Presidential
contenders...  However, if you truly read/hear the stark differences among them, It is very easy
distinguishing which one offers America a real choice for the progressive needed changes. 

Ohio Dem. Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich is that candidate, as CO-CHAIR to The Progressive
Caucus in Congress, currently championing Legislation for Healthcare for all Americans, no if's,
or buts, as the only man in Congress ever to lead instituting a Peace Department, to counter a
pervasive Defense Dept. (Offense Dept.), and a relentless fighter for social justice every/any where.
Mr. Kucinich will eliminate The WTO/NAFTA/The false War on Drugs/legalize medicinal drugs,
preserve/insist on all human/worker/Gay rights, re-appeal the infamous Oct/02 preemptive attack
resolution/all recent tax cuts/protect our global environment, etc. 
With this progressive platform, Mr. Kucinich is well poised to receive his party's nomination. 

Recently, notably Mr. Howard Dean has been getting much media coverage with falsehoods,
and Mr. J. Kerry, at Meet The Press on Sun/8/31/03 was confronted with the revealing inquiry
about his involvement in the secret society of "Skull & Bones" at Yale University; his reply
was condescending "Well no comments, is secret!", while also flip flopping on several issues
then/now!!!  Well, when debate time comes around, we'll see who's vision is really true.

So please do the right thing when your vote counts...

Subject: Erosion of Unions Hurts Women, Particularly Latinas

"Erosion of unions hurts women, particularly Latinas"
By Linda Chavez-Thompson and Gabriela Lemus
Although women have made many gains since the 1960s,
they must still catch up with men when it comes to
equal pay and the benefits that generally accompany it,
like educational attainment and access to health
insurance, paid leave and other benefits. This is
particularly true for women of color who have the
highest levels of disparities in income in comparison
to men. In 2006, women overall made 77 percent of men's
annual earnings.
The wage gap is stark irrespective of one's ethnic
group, but for Latinas it is singularly startling.
Latinas earn only 52.4 percent when compared with men.
In industries that are job-typed, such as teaching and
nursing where many Latina workers are concentrated,
unions have fostered change in closing the pay gap and
given Latinas access to health insurance and other
benefits. We must assess the remaining barriers to
economic equality and push hard for policies that are
even-handed and diminish gender- and racial-inequities.
If ever there was an argument for joining a union, then
this would be it. And if ever there was an argument for
having the capacity to bargain collectively without
retribution, this would definitely be it.
Women are struggling. As a result, their families are
also facing challenges. Women are the foundation for
family decisions and unfortunately, more and more, they
carry the primary responsibility and are the sole
decision-makers in their children's welfare. Latinas
also often uphold their family and cultural traditions
to take care of their elders. Women's role as
caretakers in our society is one factor in pay
inequity. Absent strong government-provided safety
nets, like quality affordable day care, women will
continue to be forced to choose between their families
and their jobs.
Not everything is at the federal level. States have an
important role to play in the shifts of women from
poverty to economic prosperity. States can implement
innovative programs that assist women by providing
educational and training programs to maximize women's
earning potential or alternatively, they could set
their own minimum wage laws and strengthen pay equity
at the state level. Yet, local, state and national
policies continue to lag behind the changing realities
of women's lives as they struggle to balance the need
to work with their obligations to care for their
families.
At the federal level, there is legislation in Congress
that could potentially address part of the solution
toward pay equity, and that is the Employee Free Choice
Act. EFCA would restore workers' freedom to form unions
and collectively bargain, while strengthening penalties
for companies that coerce or intimidate employees. It
is critical that women be allowed to form unions and be
part of a process where they can express an opinion by
the simple but deliberate signing of an authorization
card. Union women earn 31 percent more in their median
weekly earnings than those without a union, which
translates into $758 per month in comparison to $579
without a union.
The freedom to join a union is a fundamental right
protected by our country's constitutional freedom of
association, its labor laws and the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. Yet, this right continues
to be eroded, and as a result, more and more women have
become the victims of harassment, discrimination and
even termination for attempting to improve their lives
by forming unions.
Clearly, women have the right to improve their economic
well-being and the welfare of their families. By so
doing, they also help to strengthen the communities
they live in by being able to contribute more to their
local and state economies. On this Equal Pay Day,
government and employers have a unique opportunity to
come together with workers to both create a better
environment in the workplace and improve economic
equality.

Wednesday April 22, Mother Earth Day    
Bolivian President Evo Morales Ayma will visit the United Nations in New York City on April 22, and will deliver a historic speech in Harlem. The Bolivian government seeks recognition for Mother Earth Day – an initiative that will promote the right of humankind to live healthy and in harmony with nature. Mother Earth Day would celebrate April 22nd as an annual international event incorporating an indigenous approach to the current Earth Day celebration — which is not officially celebrated at the UN.
