Reflections
from the Ahnishinahbæótjibway (We, the People)

Greetings, pilgrims! And
to the
rest of the descendants of the Western European immigrants, I hope all
of you
had an enjoyable holiday while celebrating your “independence” in the
Land of
the Free, and violently pursuing your traditionally elusive happiness.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: The
good
upstanding, moral citizens of California have enacted an
unconstitutional
Proposition which denies all government services to illegal aliens, a
foreign
kind of discrimination against immigrants based on date of arrival—the
second
sons of the old European blue-bloods didn’t have green cards, either,
and the
U.S. Constitution is a European immigrants’ document based on imported
Roman
and English law. The recent
undocumented immigrants pay more than their fair share of taxes, and
subsidize
the economic system in California with wages which are far below the
poverty
level. The fruit growers and other
agribusinesses welcome these so-called illegal aliens with open arms
and pats
on the back, exploiting their cheap labor, and then, when the crops are
harvested, instead of receiving unemployment compensation or social
security,
the I.N.S. has a big roundup, fines the workers a hefty percentage of
their
earnings, and deports them back south of the border using firearms and
batons
(clubs). So much for “affirmative
action” for the most recent immigrants without green cards.
Affirmative
action has been touted to “disadvantaged
minorities” as redressing the legacy of centuries of discrimination. A very few Uncle Toms, Uncle Tomahawks and
some Aunt Jemimahs and Pocahantases got middle-class jobs as tokens
under
affirmative action, which maintains the status quo—it was not designed
to
assimilate or desegregate the good ol’ WASP boys’ economic system. The people who have benefitted from the last
three decades of affirmative action are the white businessmen,
including
consultants, federal contractors, and office supply companies. Under Affirmative Action, the big
corporations get wealthier and minority employees have less take-home
pay than they
used to—for the working people, nothing’s adjusted for inflation and
never will
be.
Affirmative
action has been an unwritten law for a long time,
under other names. In one example of
affirmative action, the self-proclaimed upper class labelled their
lower class
“White trash,” and used them to do the carpetbaggers’ and squatters’
dirty
work: the K.K.K. dressed in white robes and carried crosses in the
south. In the north, affirmative action
was
promoted by White squaw-men carrying crosses and dressed in Black
Robes, who
segregated the French “[clearcut] Jackpine Savages” and sawed-off
“Burnt
Stumps” from the allegedly “civilized” WASPS, laying the foundation for
what’s
now called “Indian [quasi-] Sovereignty” (held in trust for their
Indian wards
by the United States Government). The
mixed message is an illusion, a dichotomy of slogans: “Church and State
are
Separate,” but “In God We Trust;” greenbacks pack a bigger clout than
green
cards, and blood runs thicker than water.
Any Affirmative Action program designed by the WASP elite is
going to
benefit nobody else, but it turns Congressional politicians into rabid
demagogues and provides the White lower classes and riffraff with an
expedient
scapegoat.
GET GOVERNMENT OFF OUR
BACKS: There
has been much ballyhoo, by people who made their fortunes and social
position
from Anglo government give-aways (including four centuries of
pork-barrel
distribution of Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ property), to “get
Government
off our backs.” Just the other night,
television news featured cry-baby American auto makers whimpering about
not
having a “level playing field” for selling shoddy, left-hand drive,
gas-hog
cars in the islands of Japan (maybe they’re hoping that if they send
enough
Detroit-irons over there, they’ll sink those tiny islands and their
competition
along with it). The elite who is urging
the American public to “get government of your backs” is subsidized by
American
public taxpayers though the gas taxes, energy programs, trade stipends,
etc.,
etc. But, in the good old American
Tradition of greed, they want more!
They’re asking Government to get on somebody else’s back, and
nuke the
Japanese if they don’t agree to buy an Affirmative Action quota of
American
cars.
GROUNDWATER: The electric
companies
are spraying an incestuous close cousin to Agent Orange on the
power-line
right-of-ways east of the Reservation.
Poison is poison, and what they’re spraying to kill the plants
is also
killing the birds, insects, deer and what’s left of the vanishing
species that
comprise the wildlife in the Northwoods (whoops, I meant
Northbrush—it’s all
been clearcut) of Northern Minnesota.
The herbicides also get into the surface water and the
groundwater—instead of providing summer jobs cutting brush, the
electric
companies are creating a time bomb for future generations.
NASA is promoting its space program, but the
utility companies have another space program all their own—they are
completely
disconnected from Grandmother Earth, out of balance and in disharmony.
I.R.A. NEWS: The Big
Indians are
gearing up for the White man’s colonial Democracy (presented to the
public as
“Tribal Elections”), and the Real Chip-away politicos are jockeying
around,
playing Indian in a context of French feudalism. One-term
Chief Gerald Brun is gone, and after only two years in
office it looks like Bobby Whitefeather will be another One-term Chief
unless
the Democratic Party pulls off a miraculous feat of ballot-box stuffing
and
raising the dead. Judy Roy has
political ambitions, and is maneuvering to become Chieftainess. Bobby Whitefeather, run like a Deer (but not
to Ada)—there’s another Mankiller here, and she’s not from Oklahoma.
