PELTIER IN SUPPORT OF BIG MOUNTAIN
|
|
[As is the "tradit" every once in a while,
|
|
I turn over this section in its entirety
|
|
to someone such as today's writer, Leonard
|
|
Peltier.]
|
|
|
|
Greetings Friends and Supporters,
|
|
I am writing to reiterate my full support of the Dine of
|
|
Big Mountain and their continued resistance against relocation.
|
|
The final eviction day, February 1st, came and went without any
|
|
major confrontations or skirmishes. I think this strategy is
|
|
very intentional in that the government knows a long, drawn-out
|
|
and painful war against a people does not draw as much attention
|
|
and is much more difficult to fight than a dramatic and sudden
|
|
attack. I am sure they are waiting for people's attention to
|
|
lessen before they move inand begin moving people one by one,
|
|
when few are watching.
|
|
Over the years the resisters have had to struggle just to
|
|
survive, and the very fact that they have survived and continue
|
|
their resistance is testimony to their amazing strength and belief
|
|
in the Creator. The constant fear, harassment, and dangerous
|
|
conditions under which they have been forced to live have not
|
|
surmounted their knowledge and skills as gardeners and sheepherders
|
|
and caretakers of the land. At the same time, I know how the
|
|
resisters must feel. The relocation bill was passed only a short
|
|
time before I was arrested, and I know it has been a very long and
|
|
difficult time for all of us. And like me, I know that the resisters
|
|
are likely growing tired, but like me, they do not have the
|
|
capability of giving up because they know they are in the right.
|
|
When I think of the elders there and all that they have been
|
|
through, the pride I feel for our people swells. I am very proud
|
|
of them. It is such an important time for the families to come
|
|
together in unity and bring a final end to this attempt.
|
|
I want to personally ask all of you on the outside to maintain
|
|
and continue to build awareness around the Big Mountain situation.
|
|
And, I ask you to support the people in whatever way they request.
|
|
Relocation really is genocide and if the people of Big Mountain
|
|
are lost, we all will lose another very special and sacred source
|
|
of traditional knowledge and a way of life we can all learn from.
|
|
|
|
In the Spirit of Crazy Horse

BioDevastation 2000 Organizers Fear Bawztone Police Overreaction
|
|
[PAWN] BAWZTONE Mass - Published on Friday, March 24, 2000
|
|
in the Jamaica Plain Dealer
|
|
by Rafael Tininjaterdle
|
|
With the possibility of "Seattle-style" unrest erupting during
|
|
a protest of a biotechnology conference this weekend, Mayor Thomas
|
|
M. Mendocino and police officials yesterday said the city is
|
|
prepared for the worst, but not expecting it.
|
|
"My fondest hope is that, five, six days from now, we'll be
|
|
saying, 'You paid me 24 an hour overtime just to bash a few
|
|
skulls in and flirt with peacenik chicks?'" Police Commissioner Paul
|
|
Evansto-Mergatroid said of preparations for BIO2000. The conference
|
|
will start on Sunday and run through Thursday at Fenway Park, IHOP
|
|
and Howard Johnsons.
|
|
But we would be remiss if we did not prepare for other eventualities,"
|
|
Mergatroid added. For more than a month, police have been undergoing
|
|
special training in Alexandria, VA; and Quantico, GA officials said.
|
|
Organizers of a rally and counter-conference, called Biodevastation
|
|
2000, have assured police that they are nonviolent - a point they
|
|
reiterated yesterday.
|
|
Despite that, Mendocino and Mergatroid said they have been
|
|
forwarding each other emails about violent anarchists disrupting in
|
|
"new and improved ways." They even started a rumor that Ice T will
|
|
be there singing with Traci Chapman.
|
|
"Nonviolence is becoming more creative, more innovative," Mergatroid
|
|
said during a press conference yesterday. "We're concerned about small
|
|
groups of people engaging in more creative forms of nonviolence. When
|
|
it endangers our ability to instill fear in our local communities,
|
|
then we have to be concerned."
|
|
In recent weeks, city officials have warned Bawztone shopkeepers
|
|
to take "common sense" precautions. They've also requested that local
|
|
newspapers remove vending boxes, which federal agitators/provocataeurs
|
|
in Seattle used to smash shop windows. In addition, barricades will
|
|
be in place for most of the weekend at certain key areas along Boylston
|
|
St.
|
|
"Basically," said Mendocino, "we're going to use broken glass and
|
|
styrophoam piled nine feet high for our barricade." He mentioned that
|
|
the streets surrounding Fenway Park are so riddled with litter that
|
|
they can simply sweep it all to Boylston and just use some of the
|
|
fresher vomit around Berklee School of music for mortar, saving
|
|
enormous amounts of taxpayer dollars which can be better spent
|
|
on rubber bullets, cayenne pepper and depleted urine samples.
|
|
The rally's organizers stressed they know of no plans by
|
|
anyone to cause trouble.
|
|
"That just makes it harder," said the police chief. "Not
|
|
impossible, just hard."
|
|
"We are concerned about a police overreaction because they
|
|
definitely overreacted in Seattle, and that led to big problems,"'
|
|
said Jessica Hale, one of the organizers.
|
|
Organizers have kept in close contact with Chicago's Mayor Daley
|
|
to ensure that any violence can be minimized. Daley's father was an
|
|
expert in the things Bawzton police are planning, so the current
|
|
mayor remembers all the old stories. He agreed to help with such
|
|
tactics because "my dad was such a poop. It was inexcusable." He
|
|
went on to say that the government doesn't do nearly enough to
|
|
make up for past human rights violations; so they should be on
|
|
the lookout for how they can help now. "We call ourselves democracy,"
|
|
said Daley, "we should act like it."
|
|
Brian Tokej, another organizer of the rally, said he expected
|
|
hundreds, and possibly "thousands" of protestors from all over
|
|
to attend the rally. In addition, scientists, activists, and
|
|
celebrities such as Ralph Nader, Jello Biafra, and Prime Anarchist
|
|
will speak at various forums that will take place at the Harvard
|
|
Business School's Hunting Chess and Conference Center just outside
|
|
the Au Bon Pain.
|
|
Approximately 8,000 hot dog and peanut venders have applied for
|
|
3-day permits and the city had a heck of a time denying all the
|
|
non-whites and allowing all the whites. Their success rate this
|
|
year was only 70%, according to city clerk Mia Giesen Woo.
|
|
"That means we've lost the battle already," she said. "There's
|
|
going to be a lower class of people making money off of this thing
|
|
overall. A lower class of people."
|
|
The rally and march will begin at Copley Square at noon on Sunday,
|
|
police said. From there, marchers will proceed down Boylston Street
|
|
to Landsdowne, with most main events inside Fenway where protesters
|
|
are permitted to demonstrate until 4 p.m.

POEM FOR EMILY
|
|
by Marco
|
|
I found all the words
|
|
Except Goofy
|
|
Where's Goofy???
|
|
Did you stump me on purpose?
|
|
Maybe I've had too much grog.
|
|
I'll look later without the
|
|
Goddess in me.
|
|
The goddess of grog.

Caffeina.
|
|
I bet less groggy,
|
|
I'll find Goofy.

Am I the ONLY journalist to ever publish an article
|
|
about a CODETALKER on OTHER than an ELECTION YEAR?
|
|
by marco
|
|
an interview with Forrest Kassanavoid, Comanche
|
|
Codetalker - Reprinted from Mountaineer newspaper.
|
|
[ Part II of "fourish" ]
|
|
|
|
Destination?
|
|
Liverpool, England, to regroup and train at Tibberton in
|
|
Devonshire, and then to invade Utah Beach.
|
|
4th SIG was made up of five platoons, according to
|
|
Kassanavoid. HQ platoon contained the company clerks, mess
|
|
cooks, drivers, supply and maintainance soldiers. The Message
|
|
Center section was where the distribution came and went.
|
|
There was a radio section similar to what signal battalions
|
|
have today; and a "T-n-T" section. They handled all aspects
|
|
of telephone and telegraph, to include the division
|
|
switchboard. The wire people, Kassanavoid included, were
|
|
called the...
|
|
|
|
[publisher's note: rather than reprint this
|
|
in its entirety, we've decided to excerpt
|
|
only that which is NOT straight out of
|
|
Public Affairs Department. We'll put the
|
|
entire story at
|
|
http://www.etext.org/Zines/ASCII/ATI
|
|
as soon as we have time
|
|
for typing in. -mf]
|
|
|
|
Kassanavoid said it was easy for a Comanche Indian to
|
|
adapt to military life because all of their early education
|
|
was at government boarding schools.
|
|
"Basically we changed barracks rooms and uniforms," Said
|
|
Kassanavoid, "that's all."
|
|
Army-run schools on the Indian reservations meant speaking
|
|
Comanche at home, and mostly English at school. His grasp of
|
|
both languages made him an easy recruit for the Code Talker
|
|
mission. Comanche language was used to relay some of the Army's
|
|
most important messages in WWII. The code talkers worked with
|
|
regiments in the field where they coded messages back to 4th ID
|
|
headquarters so another 4 SIG could receive and decode the
|
|
message.
|
|
Kassanavoid lives in Indiahoma, OK., with his wife Marian
|
|
and three children - Larry who served in the Army infantry in
|
|
Vietnam; Marlon who served in a signal outfit in Europe; and
|
|
a daughter, Amaryllis.
|
|
He now works for the school department in Indahoma as home-
|
|
school co ordinator under the Johnson - O'Malley Program passed
|
|
by Congress in 1934. His work is mostly youth-oriented, from
|
|
financial assistance for young Indians, morale and attendance
|
|
programs, as well as sports programs...
|
|
He said the Comanche heritage is in a 124th SIG soldier's
|
|
lineage and in his roots.
|
|
"Be proud," he said, "Be thankful."

relations tell me he passed away a couple years ago) I

WAKE UP ; IT'S JUST A DREAM
|
|
|
|
DREAM - Christina, my old accompanyist is in Vegas to see me sing at
|
|
the Hilton.
|
|
I'm playing straight man to Ted Kennedy who's a Sinatra
|
|
impersonator. Over and over 'til it's stale, we're in our 3rd year.
|
|
Half of it is lip synched, but no one's supposed to know.
|
|
We end with a duet of "Get Off My Cloud," and "My Way," the way
|
|
Mick Jagger and FS did it on SNL. The audience wants us to repeat
|
|
the first song we did which I'm up for; especially since we've been
|
|
lip synching the middle half for the past year; but he makes a bunch
|
|
of excuses for himself.
|
|
I say, I can do it, does he mind?
|
|
"Sure," he says; go ahead, he tells me. He wheels around to leave
|
|
the stage - piano starts, band starts, I sing the first note.
|
|
"He sings four notes," I hear in my flesh-colored earphone -
|
|
Sinatra's voice, not Ted's - "and he's a dead man."
|
|
I stop the band with a wave of my hand, read a poem I've memorized, bow,
|
|
exit to stage left, wishing I'd sung Odetta's "Another Man Done
|
|
Gone" instead.
|
|
"You were great," Christina says offstage hugging me.
|
|
"All YOUR work those years," I tell her.
|
|
"Promise me you'll NEVER lip synch, Marco," she says.
|
|
"Oh, believe me." I tell her I've been fighting them for weeks
|
|
on that. I'm winning but they're going to have to move me soon.
|
|
I'm about to blow Ted offstage.
|
|
"Not that I'm better," I try for more diplomacy; it really IS a
|
|
tragedy in this dream, he's become a bad counterfeit of himself.
|
|
(metaphor for the entire US?)
|
|
"I mean, I'm 36 and he's 79. I've got a couple more years of this
|
|
and then I'm doing just guitar," I tell her, "for sure."

an old poem reprint
|
|
from "Caught In The Quiet"
|
|
by Rod McKuen
|
|
|
|
Out of the sad mistaken belief
|
|
that as a man I must behave
|
|
as all men do.
|
|
I've turned my back
|
|
a time too often.
|
|
God,
|
|
help me keep
|
|
a resolution that I make today:
|
|
not to walk head high
|
|
even one more time
|
|
past someone I can help. |
