Aho Mitakuyepi

Grandmothers Counsel The World.

Author: Carol Schaefer.

Aho mitakuyepi,

Aho mitakuye oyasin.

So what’s my problem with the world today? Let’s have look shall we?

I’ve been reading a book recently, that has given me a very powerful insight to what some very powerful women have to say about this planet, and what we need to do.

This book is about thirteen indigenous grandmothers, who have very deep concern this planet. Their concerns cover the destruction of our one and only life supporting Mother Earth, the wars around the world with the atrocities that come with war, the endless supply of poverty, a culture of materialism, the epidemics threatening the health of our human species, and the possible destruction of indigenous ways of life.

The International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, tells of our ancestral ways of prayer, peacemaking, and healing, and how it’s so important to keep these traditional teachings alive in todays needs. This is a time of uncertainty for our very own future, and if we don’t act now to preserve what we have, we are going to lose everything through the actions of a few of the corporate and political devastation cast upon us. This being so, it’s our responsibility to make the changes required for a better life, a better environment, and better sustainability for our Mother Earth, in her providing for the next seven generations, and all following generations to live in a place they call home.

A book I can recommend worthy of reading, for those of us caring for our Mother Earth, and all her inhabitants. If you come across it, read it. It’s given me plenty of information to use as a platform, in writing up a post about what’s going on around me, with serious concerns to our planet.

We really do need to take action against the threats of the serious problems we are facing today.

Ho! Mitakuye oyasin. Hecetu welo!

Wakan tanka kici un.

Toksa ache wanchiyankin kte.

All my relations, it is indeed so!

May the Great Spirit bless you.

I will see you again eventually.

 

Stake your claim to enter a place so forbidding,

Then the outcome be of your own dare,

For what you see may not bring what is expected to be!

Feel reality so cold and dark inside,

Behind entities portal so far from reach,

A doorway longing to be opened from the outside,

Yet no key to turn the lock.

 

Here one makes their final stand,

Under cold falling rains,

With every passing hour of question,

Is there life beyond,

To be set free from the infliction of pain and misery?

 

Welcome to the world of the infidel,

Trapped inside intoxications creation of a crazy dream,

Maybe someday they’ll come to take you home.

 

Under skies of a blood red moon,

On a winters’ night,

The flow of ice cold air crawls slow and thick through your marrow,

One’s sanity fighting against the wind and rain beating strongly,

Entwined with sounds of hells thunder and lightning,

Drowning out all other forms of sound and outward appearance,

Now cloaked in possession of a blackened darkness.

Where no other soul heeds the crying calls,

Only yourself, still unable to perceive the screams of your silent pleas.

 

There on sodden foundations you lay yourself down,

As loneliness seeps into your soul.

Sightly trails from your eyes show stained tracks of bleeding tears,

While shaking hands hold a cracked heart.

Slowly lifes’ remains ebb away.

 

A legend is dying,

The fight has been lost.

Hear the fife play lowly an ode,

To this prisoner within a crazy dream.

 

Maybe in time,

They’ll come,

To take me home.

 

Been a wee while since I last posted up. have been seriously busy at work, and my involvement in political and private matters.

Been gathering info to see if the people of New Zealand can produce grounds to kick our Prime Minister out of Parliament. things are looking good so far, but still a wee way to go yet. will keep you posted as things progress.

Catch up with you all soon.

I will see you again eventually.

 

VIII.8 New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament, and Arms Control Act 1987.

4. New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone.

There is hereby established the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, which will comprise:

(a) All of the land, territory, and inland waters within the territorial limits of New Zealand; and

(b) The internal waters of New Zealand; and

(c) The territorial sea of New Zealand; and

(d) The airspace above the areas specified in paragraphs (a) to (c) of this section.

9. Entry into internal waters of New Zealand.

(1) When the Prime Minister is considering whether to grant approval to the entry of foreign warships into the internal waters of New Zealand, the Prime Minister shall have regard to all relevant information and advice that may be available to the Prime Minister including information and advice concerning the strategic and security interests of NewZealand.

(2) The Prime Minister may only grant approval for the entry into the internal waters of New Zealand by foreign warships if the Prime Minister is satisfied that the warships will not be carrying any nuclear explosive device upon their entry into the internal waters of New Zealand.

11. Visits by nuclear powered ships.

Entry into the internal waters of New Zealand by any ship whose propulsion is wholly or partly dependent on nuclear power is prohibited.

So, my understanding is that, if the American warship being sent to New Zealand to celebrate New Zealands’ 75th Naval birthday, will neither confirm nor deny that it will not be carrying any nuclear arms, or is wholly or partly propelled by nuclear power, then that American warship cannot enter into the internal waters of New Zealand by any means. If the Prime Minister allows any foreign warship that’s nuclear armed/propelled by nuclear power, and the Prime Minister is aware of such information, then the Prime Minister has breached the laws of our nuclear free zone. Any foreign warship that enters our internal waters of New Zealand, regardless of being nuclear armed/powered, and/or under neither confirming nor denying it’s carrying nuclear arms, is declaring itself hostile.

There it is folks, written in black and white. Put simpy, any foreign warship that doesn’t abide by our nuclear free zone policy, is not allowed within any area of our internal waters, and will be of hostile declaration upon breached entry of New Zealnds’ internal waters.

Hear the voice in the back of your mind,

Calling from the shadows of the whispering winds.

Your eyes witness the black nightingale as it soars,

Beneath the moon blood red, offering shimmering sweet disposition.

 

There stands a woman so alone among the children.

Her man cannot protect her, for he’s been incarcerated,

For reasons of dissenting untruths, so they say.

More the truth be known,

He would not fight their war upon his principle of choice.

Hear starvation cry out from the mouths of so many,

While others lay silenced from mutilations wounds.

Politicians claim intervention of terrorism, and to create peace.

Soldiers say it was an accident, a ricochet from a stray round.

The innocent victims call it as it is, none other than political atrocities of war crimes.

A life of walking along the road of desolations loneliness to tyranny,

Ruling with a destiny where conscience betreays,

Through eyes of paradise filled with decoys.

 

There is no salvation of offering heads for prayers.

The bridge you travel leads to no glimpse of reality to return.

Truth has died once stripped of all virtue and sanity.

Still the heart claws and crawls through dirts pain,

In desperation of mere chance to reach solsce in solitude.

 

How long will this vision of insanity remain, before the eyes fall,

In readiness to be taken under darkened flight in transition?

Within the chilling hold beyond reach of calling,

Where only a memory stands above for all to see,

Soon to forget as the passage of time passes over.

 

Why are there so many innocent people suffering in this world we live in?

We don’t need your soldiers to tend to the weeding of our crops of humanity.

I ask what the United Nations Council is contributing to world peace?

And what are the ogilarchs of the corporate society contributing to world peace?

What about the bank owners, what are they contributing to world peace?

All our world leaders in politics, are they contributing to world peace?

The innocent people of the world are contributing to a call of world peace.

They’re protesting in the name of world peace.

The musicians, they’re singing in the name of world peace.

They’re calling out in voices of harmony, for world peace.

Make your voice heard, or ask someone to speak out for you.

The time has come to make that call,

A call for World Peace.

 

I lay no claim to sole rights of ownership of this article, as it’s owned by everyone around the world, who believes in world peace.

I’ve written this poem, this plea, on behalf of every innocent victim, living and deceased, in the name of sanity, in a call for world peace.

Help me spread it through other sources of social media like Facebook, Twitter, and any other media sourced outlets.

Get the attention of the mainstream media sources, to present this article on radio, television and through your own local media.

Publish this in every country around the world, translate it into your mother tongue.

Present a copy to your Prime Minister/President, or any other political representative responsible of their duty to protect their people, in calling for world peace.

Send a copy to the United Nations and NATO.

I want every innocent human, who hasn’t contributed to the causes of warmongering, propaganda, terrorism, profiteering through war, oppression and/or the suchlikes, to share and spread this article around, with the same passion in belief as I do towards world peace.

 

There has been too much blood shed on the soil of our one and only Mother Earth.

Our Mothers’ lands are for living on in peace, growing crops so everyone can eat.

The politicians and their corporate elite, do not have the right to profit from war! their job isn’t a warmongering role!

We have the right to live in harmony.

This is the time to stand up and shout out across the world, enough is enough!

It is our right to live in world peace.

 

 

We’ve seen the world of politcs change dramatically over time, moreso since the end of WWII. And the last 50 odd years things have changed much faster.
War has occupied a very wide area of our planet, based on political power and corporate wealth. All this is covered up through a war machine involving propaganda, lies, murder, control of foreign resources, invasion incorporating the excuses of defending from terrorism. How can a nation such as America use defense from terrorism by invading the country they accuse of being a terrorist state? How can the American powers that be fight a terrorist group they created? How can the politicians, the corporate lobbyists and the military powers blatantly lie to their own people? Easy. None of them have any scruples or honour. Profit is their only concern.
Then we’ve got the likes of this TPPA situation cropping up around the world. Another corporate strategy designed for the purpose of increasing the already over-indulgent wealthy in ever increasing profit. Only this dirty system uses the basis of a legal system created by the wealthy few to protect the wealthy few from being prosecuted, but allowing the multi-national corporates to prosecute any government that doesn’t abide by corporate trading through means of suing the government involved with any corporate that’s trapped that government into an unrepayable debt.
All this would be incomplete without the corrupt politicians, directly/indirectly involved. Wheeling and dealing in bribes, financially influencial gains, anything that gives them a big return with very little effort and expense to themselves, yet is proven to be an expense to anyone else, usually the victim of this game being those unaware of the situation, until it’s too late to realise and act. And even if anything could be done, nothing would be returnable to the victim/s, as the loss would be to the victim in the long run, and not the wealthy instigator/s involved.
So what can be done? Well, to start with, we have to recognise and accept the fact that it’s time to stand up and be heard. We have to find a ways and means of fighting back against such unacceptable behaviour. the corporatists, their lobbyists, the politicians, the military strategists, they’re aware of the wrong they’re committing, their positions of responsibility involved, and the consequences that come with their actions.
We can voice our stand through petitions, or we can follow that of our Icelandic and French brothers and sisters, by making a protest. We could take the simpler more placid method of voting these sort of corrupt politicians out at election time, but what impact would that make on any future government. our Icelandic and French relatives have made their mark by not only letting their government and fellow populace knowingly witness what they stand for, but their impact has spread across the world. I truly admire and respect these people for their courage and belief in their stand against political distortion of law, and the abuse of power by those responsible for the running of their day to day affairs of political administration and representation of the people.
If any member of the public can be arrested for an act of violence, or any form of activity that requires the law to step in and be upheld, then the same should be applied to those breaking the law from within the political and/or corporate sector of society.
The law was originally designed as a vessel of one law to be obeyed by all. So let’s get our legal system back up and running as it was originall designed to serve. It’s time for justice to be served.

A democracy should give citizens many opportunities to participate in decision making and provide;

● checks and balances so that people with power cannot abuse it

● respect for the voices of the minorities as well as the majorities – the general public of the New Zealand people are the voice of the majority, yet are seen as the minority of class, as seen by the elite wealthy

● independent and impartial judges who treat everyone equally

● a free press

● access to official information – which shouldn’t be redacted

● protection of individual rights

● freedom from corruption

Unfortunately for the people of New Zealand, none of the above mentioned has been acted on in good faith by our present government, run by a financial investor, ex banker and embezzler, claiming himself to be the Prime Minister of this once great country. his Ministers are his dog soldiers, who help with the political manipulations operation, under a propaganda guise of lies as their mechanism of self-serving.

Fact: Rulings on standing and non-standing orders and proceedures.

Electoral Act 1993, s. 268

General

143/3

The House is bound by a statutory obligation, just as it is bound by every other provision of the law. The House and its member’s are not above the law, although certain laws do not apply in their full rigor in respect of parliamentary proceedings. It is the duty of the Chair to ensure that, so far as possible, the House complies with it legal obligations and in presiding over the House the Speaker will attempt to see that that is done.

Added to all this, is the;

Public service code of conduct: Officials’ relationship with Ministers and Government

2.62 The public service code of conduct […] is based on the following principles:

Principle 1. employees should fulfill their lawful obligations to the government with professionalism and integrity.

Principle 2. employees should perform their official duties honestly, faithfully and efficiently, respecting the rights of the public and their colleagues.

Chapter VIII

Contempt of House

The House may treat as a contempt any act or omission which –

(a) obstructs or impedes the House in the performance of its functions, or

(b) obstructs or impedes any member or officer of the House in the discharge of the member’s or officer’s duty, or

(c) has a tendency, directly or indirectly, to produce such a result.

Examples of contempts

Without limiting the generality of Standing Order 392, the House may treat as a contempt any of the following –

(a) the breach of one of the privileges of the House;

(b) deliberately attempting to mislead the House or a committee (by way of statement, evidence or petition);

(f) as a member, receiving or soliciting a bribe to influence the member’s conduct in respect of proceedings in the House or at a committee;

(g) as a member, accepting fees for professional services rendered by the member in connection with proceedings in the House or at a committee;

(k) reflecting on the character or conduct of the House or of a member in the Member’s capacity as a member of the House;

(l) misconducting oneself in the presence of the House or a committee;

(o) failing to attend before the House or a committee after being summoned to do so by the House or the committee;

(p) intimidating, preventing or hindering a witness from giving evidence or giving evidence in full to the House or a committee;

(q) refusing to answer a question or provide information required by the House or a committee;

(r) assaulting, threatening or disadvantaging a member on account of the member’s conduct in Parliament.

Just some of the rules of conduct in the House or a committee by any member of parliament. And there is so much more to cover, like our nuclear policies, the UN Charter, the UDHR Universal Declaration of Human Rights), International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Disnation against Women, Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and also the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

These are the sort of things that our government leaders, both nationally and internationally, need to be reminded of from time to time. And this also applies to reminding the UN of their charters and responsibilities being aired every so often.

So be aware all you politicians who think you’re above the law. You’re not a god, you are human, just like the rest of us. The law was designed to protect everybody equally – a law for one is a law for all. That is democracy, and that’s how democracy should be, applying to everyone, from all walks of life.

Hokahe. Cante waste nape ciyuzapo. Trevor emanciyapi. Masaglasa. Doe ksh kay ya oun hey?

Wichasa na winyan otoiyohi igluhapi na iyehanyan wowazapi. T anmahel slol’ic’iyapi na kichiwichowepi s’e kichichuwapi kta hecha. (Universal Declaration of Human Rights).

Ho! Mitakuye oyasin. Hecetu welo!

Welcome to my home. I greet you from my heart. My name is Trevor. I am English. How are you?

Each and every man and woman is free and has equal rights to things. They are sure of themselves in their mind, and they should treat each other as if they were siblings. (UDHR).

All my relatives, it is indeed so.

I’ve chosen the language of the Teton Oglala Lakota Sioux as my second language, for my own purposes of  learning, to share with the Lakota people, to help with my spiritual beliefs through meditation, and to share with any other brothers and sisters of any and all other nationalities, no matter who you be or where you’re from, or what your religion or belief be.

My interest is in living in peace and harmony. My simple request is for world peace. That has been my interest in life from childhood. My other childhood connection has always been with the Native American Indian in general. As a child, I was always told to play the role of the Indian. Over the years, this particular nation of people somehow stayed with me, followed me, become a part of me. Strange as things seem, it’s true. And here I am at 56 years of age, learning their language, learning their spiritual ways, collecting items of interest and importance to me. Studying their history through reading books, watching documentaries. this isn’t an infatuation or a phase in life only to be forgotten after a few weeks. this has been with me for a very long time, and when it comes the time for me to reach the end of my road in life, and go to the day of the quiet, then I’ll be ready for my   Spirits to greet me.

I mentioned my interest in a simple request for world peace. I believe it’s not a difficult task to fulfill for the human race. It’s only become a difficult task to accomplish, by those few humans who find their pleasure in ignoring what is a legal entitlement to the many disadvantaged humans. Those few humans who demand more than they need, while denying their many innocent fellow humans that suffer at the hands of the inhumane humans, our oppressors. those few fellow humans that seem to place themselves above the law of the land, and the law of others. A legal system created as one set of rules and regulations, developed for the purpose of protection and obedience by all humans. Now it has been rewritten, manipulated, picked apart, played to serve  the advantage of favour to one party while levering disadvantage to the other. The equality of humanity being swiftly separated into two disproportionate chunks of social class, the wealthy versus the poor, classic stations in life. One self-important, the other struggles.

This has become something of an unacceptable standard of life for living. Two such extravagant levels in life. Something needs to be done. Something needs to be changed. this much is true.

So how will it be done? Who will lead the way? What will the cost be in financial terms, and human grief? Will it come to a revolution by the people?

Will our governments come to their grip of reality and understand the mentality of their responsibilities? Are they capable of making such an effort in facing the truth in their destructive appetite? I don’t know, I’m not a medicine man, or a holy man, I cannot predict the future. I’m just a passionate believer of hope. And with that hope, I’d like to share with everybody who feels the same as I do, that someday, world peace will come to us all.

Atanikili. Anepetu waste yuha po. Toksa akhe wanchiyankin kte. Philamaya.

You are awesome. Have a nice day. I will see you again eventually. Thank you.

 

 

What’s with all the violence happening of late around the world? do we really need it, and just what’s going to be accomplished by it?

If all politicians expect their people to keep an oath of allegiance to their country, and abide by the very laws that have been set down, then what’s the problem with these very same politicians performing the very same expectations of them in return?

Guess not. perhaps they’d rather bring in military law, with the ridiculous excuse of “preparing for civil unrest”, a distraction from the truth that they want covered up, which is their means to control their citizens from standing in further protests at the dirty politics being hurled upon the people of  the country in concern, in this case, America. Bringing in the UN troops against their very own people. Why commit such an action upon the people, when the people have been the victims of tyranny and political abuse, as well as the police and “terrorist” shootings.

I can only wonder at the politicians who hunger for warmongering with an attitude of “What’s the point of negotiating to get what we want, when it’s easier to use a gun.”

With an attitude such as that, you can only state that the politicians, lobbyists and corporatists have convinced themselves they’re untouchable gods.

In reality, let’s face the fact that with politicians being driven by their corporate lobbyists to profit from war, we’ve become the perfect species for war, should aliens need to call on us for services of a military purpose. It would probably work out more profitable for the aliens in the long run.

Militia/marshall/military law in America? Will it come to New Zealand? Is this just another means for our political/corporate arena to make an excuse to create their New World Order? Is it just another excuse to bring another war upon the worlds population, so these politicians and their mogul backers can use an easier way of gaining bigger profits for themselves? Is it really that hard for the wealthy to do an honest days work for an honest days reward? how would the ogilarchs feel, if all their very own doings turned tables back onto themselves? Why do they persist in causing mayhem on innocent lives around the world?Why do these warmongers blame all other citizens for the very actions that have began from corporate-driven and politically endorsed from origin? Why are we seeing UN troop movement within America? where is it going to go from there? Why is it that the political and corporate sectors are the root of all unrest with the people of the world? are the “terrorist attacks” in France “staged”? why hasn’t the “terrorist group” ISIS/ISIL/Daesh/IS not been destabilized or taken out, after how many years of fightinhg have passed? Why has America been at war for almost 300 years, in which only 17 of those years have been of peace for America? why hasn’t the United Nations, the International World Court, and the many other institutions stood up and held these warmongering countries accountable for any war crimes? If Saddem Hussein was captured, detained, tried and executed for his part in any war crimes, why isn’t Obama, Clinton, Key and others from the politcal heirarchy been caught, detained, tried and executed for their very own involvements in war crimes? Why is there one set of laws for the corporate/political society, and another set of laws for the common people? How can this rule of two laws be justified by those from the corrupted influencial party? Why must so many innocent people pay the price with their lives for the ruthlessness of the cowardly few, who consider themselves above a law of their own creation? What will these carelessly inhumane troublemakers of the world achieve from all of this, when they themselves are dead? they can’t take their ill-gained wealth with them into the Otherworld can they? So why bother with their fight for wealth over and against peace in the first place?

I might be crazy, but I’m not insane. Are you?

I know where I stand, and what I stand for. Do you?

I don’t want my children and grandchildren to face a world war. Do you?

Why should we leave an unnecessary impact on the next seven generations to live in just to clean up? Do you think that’s fair?
