Sitting Bull (Tatanka-Iyotanka) ca. 1831-1890.
Turtle Island - every square inch belongs to the indigenous people.
Before the strangers landed on Turtle Island, the indigenous people had lived here for thousands of years.
Today, Turtle Island is known as the United States of America.
While the Indigenous took little from the land and other resources and left more for future generations - the strangers want it all - cutting down old-growth forests - just to make tons of money selling the timber.
Once, millions of buffalo roamed the plains - only for greedy strangers - to kill the buffalo - not for their meat - but to make money by selling the buffalo's fur.
The culture of the indigenous tribes was connected to the land - Mother Earth - and everything the Earth saw and felt on this Earth - was near and dear to the indigenous tribes of Turtle Island.
Up until 1927 - here in California, one could murder an indigenous person and fetch $5 for a scalp. This history is not taught in schools and colleges - and those privileged - think their shit doesn't stink.
Some think slavery does not exist - in fact, it does - one has just to look at how most people live - paycheck to paycheck. Many work two or three jobs - and many die working hard - and no one cares.
The Indigenous people of Turtle Island suffer the most - and while the United States has profited from the Indigenous people - to this day, it has not apologized to the Indigenous people, and that is a crying shame.
The Elders who had wisdom - Indigenous - warned us all - do not trust those that speak with a forked tongue.
Those that murdered the Indigenous, stole the land, and raped the women who committed the worst atrocities ever - will reap their reward here on Earth.
In the year 2024 - those who stole the land - created a Constitution of sorts - called it an experiment - and are drowning in the cesspool of their own creation.
We all know it is easy to destroy something complicated, but creating something extraordinary requires time and patience.
During my sojourn on this Earth, I traveled worldwide and saw the good, the bad, and the ugly with my own eyes.
We human beings are all beholden to a greater power, and while we must respect and honor one another - we have some - the curse of the Earth who murder and kill - as we see in Gaza and Ukraine.
If we want to live in peace here on Turtle Island, we must respect and honor the Elders - indigenous.
Learn to live in peace - with all those who have invaded Turtle Island - including those who will be in the White House in 2025.
We have 547 Federally recognized tribes. Of these, 347 are within the 48 contiguous states, and 227 are in Alaska.
More than 200 indigenous tribes who have lived in the United States for more than 20,000 years - are NOT on the Federal Register.
Chief Joseph (Heinmot Tooyalakekt) 1841-1904.
The recent elections saw the downfall of the Democrats - who lost the elections because they failed to communicate with the people and listen to their pleas - the economy stupid.
The majority of the citizens of the United States live paycheck to paycheck. What does this mean?
It means that as much as our Democracy means well - talks the talk, it does not walk the walk. We talk about Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion.
Guess What?
Donald Trump and his goons are out to get rid of Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI). Large businesses like Walmart already openly state they will serve all - and not focus on DEI.
People of color and others who need help, the mentally and physically challenged, LGBT, and Trans who are qualified - will be denied work - under any pretest.
Hurdles will be put in the way - just because of their sex preference - giving access to restrooms - creating divisiveness and eroding the unity and bipartisanship that existed here in the United States.
Fanatics and egomaniacs, the likes of Donald Trump - love to win all the time - they will not take NO from anyone - if they are defeated, they will take revenge - they talk about God, but no one knows what god they believe in.
Donald Trump thinks he won the election.
Donald did not, and he hoodwinked many in broad daylight.
It is just a matter of time before all those who voted for him - will repent - especially those of color - Donald Trump is a racist, and he will never, ever be for equal opportunities - he is always - for himself.
We. the people -did not have an election by any measure.
We. had some marketing scheme - where millions of dollars were used to convince those exposed to the advertisements - to lies, hoodwinking broad daylight - and the crooks succeeded and will set us back.
We, the people, are a Republic - we believe in the Constitution, we believe in standards - we must not lie, cheat, we pay our taxes, we respect our mothers, girls, and women
Donald Trump treats women like chattel - and men in the United States must stand shoulder to shoulder with our women - so that we may together go to a better place.
Donald Trump has his own bible - but knows nothing much about what the Bible stands for - he is not a student of Theology or Philosophy - the only qualification he is known for - is a cheat - of the first order.
The Democrats failed miserably - failing to listen to the people and cater to their daily essential needs.
The Democrats have only themselves to blame - and it will take them some years - to get back on track.
The Democrats are now all called "leftists," whatever that means.
No cult that is unethical has a place in the United States - we are a land of laws, and NO one is above the law. The Constitution lays the facts - and we have the empirical data.
Donald Trump must find out what is the etymology of narcissists and egomaniacs. It is in this category the jackass feels comfortable - loving his fast food and feeding his mind and soul with the divisiveness of the worst order.
The only people who have a claim to Turtle Island, which is now known as the United States, are the indigenous people.
Make no bones about this fact - the indigenous Elders warned us - do not trust those who speak with a forked tongue.
Only those whose hearts are in the right place can take others to a better place.
I give Donald Trump six months before one witness infighting - it is already brewing - uncouth, unethical, unqualified candidates chosen to lead our country - we are becoming the laughingstock - of the world.
The strangers who live today on Turtle Island - are greedy.
Greed and avarice will never, ever satisfy any human being - we know this from wisdom - the indigenous people of Turtle took little and left more for future generations.
Today, strangers have lost their minds. If they do not respect themselves, how can they respect others?
The Founding Fathers created our Republic and formed a government with checks and balances—the concept of an experiment they wanted to work on. Today, it has failed us, with the President elected openly stating that he does not believe in our Constitution—he and his fanatics.
The population of the United States is about 345 million.
The United States has large swaths of land - 3 717 812 . 8 square miles.
At one time for thousands of years, the Indigenous people traveled freely to visit their relatives and some tribes with whom they interacted by marriage and giving gifts.
We know this from their archeology, architecture, writings, and the many artifacts they left us. We still marvel at their works and civilization.
No other country on this Earth - has removed thousands of Indigenous people - who have lived on the tribal lands for thousands of years - and have chosen not to apologize to the victims - Indigenous Tribes of Turtle Island.
The Republicans who have agreed to have one man control a cult and defy the norms of our nation - should be ashamed of themselves.
The Democrats, for all their talk, had no walk.
In 2027, the Democrats may have a chance to take over the government, and if they miss that one chance, good luck to most.
Frederick Douglass
Frederick Douglass was born a slave and was self-educated.
He was a genius and a good friend of President Abraham Lincoln.
Frederick Douglass helped the women involved in the suffrage movement.
Frederick Douglass worked with Harriet Tubman and was linked to the Underground Railway.
He was also a great orator who mesmerized those who heard him speak.
Here is a speech I would love you to read:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/23/opinion/election-frederick-douglass.html
As I said, the experiment failed us all. The Founding Fathers never, ever expected a candidate for the President of the United States would be a convicted felon, liar, rapist, a person that refuses to pay his taxes - a narcissist and an egotistical maniac.
The two key parties - the Republicans and the Democrats - have to move forward and bring about progress to create viable and sustainable programs and projects.
Not long ago, the two parties sat at the table and resolved issues bipartisanly.
Not - not anymore - in Donald Trump, we have a thug who does things in the manner he deems best.
Donald Trump has initiated all sorts of divisiveness - fostered hatred and is determined to destroy our Democracy as we understand it.
We must serve all, uplift all, and avoid blatant discrimination.
Today, the Democrats are in shock. The leaders linked to the Democratic Party are confused, confounded, and perplexed.
Today. Democrats, the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Zoe Lofgren, and Chuck Schumer, cannot figure out what happened - the loss to Donald Trump was of their own doing - failing to listen to the people who voted for the Democrats.
Here in San Francisco - it is time the Independents move quickly and fill the void - send the Democrats packing - let them fade into oblivion. Pathetic!
How can anyone think about harming millions of immigrants - when we, the United States, played a key role - in creating the Banana Republics.
At one time, the United States openly went to a country in South America and toppled the government.
It used our assets to remove the country's leader - until Executive Order 11905, signed by President Gerald R. Ford on February 18, 1976 - banned assignations.
Assignments led by the United States were once shared; we must remember that fact.
The United States politicians conduct themselves as representatives. Still, many of them have a hidden agenda - their greed knows no bounds - in the land that they do not own - each and every square inch stolen from the Indigenous Tribes of Turtle Island.
In less than two hundred and fifty years - the greed of those who are strangers to this land we call Turtle Island - contaminated the land, the water, the forests, the air - you name it.
Today, we have a cult that is racist, and we must not allow these fanatics to ruin this nation. That the fanatics, their ancestors were strangers from Europe and elsewhere - their leaders' autocrats - more narcissists than the likes of Donald Trump.
This is not Russia or China, and we must nip this nonsense in the bud.
We must reduce the terms of the United States - Senators and Congresspersons - many of them created this confusion - that the time has come for the people united to take charge of the situation and lead.
It is a shame for months on end, the U.S. Congress fails to address the key issues that the citizen of the United States - and the Indigenous Tribes whose land this is - are promised things - lied and no one care to serve and find a solution. Talk is cheap.
Good action counts - our infants, children, youth, Elders, those with compromised health - the mentally and physically challenged are all left to fend for themselves.
Two percent of the filthy rich - control ninety-nine percent of the economy and conduct themselves selfishly - arrogant and ignorant of the abuse - crimes against humanity - compromise - the quality of life issues.
It is a shame that the filthy rich will soon get breaks - capital write-offs - while those working two and three jobs - will have to pay their taxes.
In the interim, the Elders suffer past the fifth day of the month - they have no money for food - and spend more on their medication.
Childcare is expensive, colleges and universities are costly, and curricula are poor.
We must change all this and provide focused training to help people gain excellent skills and have promising careers.
Beware of Project 2025 - Donald Trump lied when he said he knew nothing about Project 2025.
Shame on those who voted for Donald Trump - more those people of color - Donald Trump is a racist.
Donald Trump is out to destroy our values and our freedom.
Suffice it to say the time has come to visit the experiment of our Founding Fathers - and come up with a model that keeps fanatics, maniacs, and narcissists at bay.
Let us honor our Elders - those with wisdom.
Let us thank our Indigenous Elders and those who have endured so much - this Thanksgiving, let us make a change for the better.
Turtle Island has been here for a long time.
For thousands of years, before the strangers landed on Turtle Island, the indigenous tribes lived here in what is now the United States of America.
God bless you all.
Only those whose hearts are in the right place can lead anyone to a better place.
Soon, the fanatics want to get rid of the government workers - they fanatics want to traumatize those that keep the government going - the fanatics have no permission to conduct themselves like dictators - much like Trump does.
These fanatics want to control us, and we must fight them on every level - and shut them down right now - by exposing their evil policies - Project 2025 is one of them - we must stop this nonsense - before it gets out of hand.
Our military swear their allegiance to the Constitution - not to any entity or person. The fanatics must be reined in, and those who break the law - be booked and jailed - using our laws - with specific punishment for traitors.
Some of us have detailed plans for the destruction by Donald Trump's fanatics.
We must expose the fanatics' plan's details within a month - time is running out - to destroy Democracy as we know it and how it should work.
We must take charge of the situation - and oppose the fanatics - who will fail.
We must be organized, with planned resistance and progressive actions.
The people united will never, ever be defeated.
For sure, most sensible people do not care about Donald Trump - a felon who does not pay his taxes, rapers women - lies a lot - and for all practical purposes - is an egotistical maniac.
Our children and youth matter, and in the last twenty years - we have failed our infants, children, and youth - bombarding them with actions that are devious and having no thoughts - how these actions traumatize our future.
In my past and current work, I have spent time listening to children and youth, and I see they need more confidence in their future.
With the Indigenous children and youth and the Blacks from the inner cities - most suffer from trauma - extreme poverty, the use of drugs and alcohol, killing, and shooting.
Domestic violence and chronic heart, asthma, mental wellness, and poor nutrition. We call ourselves a Superpower - if only we knew.
Lack of recourses and lack of opportunities to have career jobs.
Once, millions of buffalo roamed the plains, only for greedy strangers—good for nothing—to kill them for their fur and leave piles of meat to rot. This and more speaks to the kind of human beings some are.
This murderer, President Andrew Jackson - murdered and destroyed the lives of thousands of Indigenous tribes - we all know about the Trail of Tears - to this day, we remember, and as long as we remember, the strangers will suffer and have to repent.
The United States Public Law 280 altered the allocation of federal and state criminal jurisdiction.
Thousands of indigenous tribes on the many reservations suffer - the increase in rapes, missing indigenous women, and other atrocities that the United States knows about - kicks the can down the street.
In the early 1830s, over 125,000 indigenous tribes lived on millions of acres in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida.
People like President Andrew Jackson and others took land that the indigenous had cultivated for thousands of years.
This monument was removed in San Francisco by the main library.
Protest in front of SF 850 Bryant Street.
Buffalo Soldiers.
The United States government is duty-bound to address the many atrocities committed against the Indigenous people of Turtle Island - Crimes against Humanity.
The present Secretary of Interior - Debbie Harland, will soon step down - good riddance of awful rubbish.
We had an opportunity to see the hundreds of Indigenous Tribes who are not on the Federal Register - acknowledged in their own country - but that did not happen.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had several opportunities - to do right by the First People - but they did not.
Here in San Francisco - it is the same - jackasses at SF City Hall - have no clue about the history of the Ohlone and have not once had a hearing - on the Muwekma Ohlone, who was on the Federal Register - and was removed illegally.
London Breed could have helped the Muwekma Ohlone. Instead, she sticks to people who are dubious in nature. As a result, she now has to take a hike, and I hope she keeps her mischief away from San Francisco.
We have a new Mayor, Daniel Laurie - here in San Francisco.
Daniel Laurie - has chosen a team to vet and place some talent - they must have at least 25 years of experience - have standards, and acknowledge ethical practices.
I hope Daniel Laurie learns about the Muwekma Ohlone and helps the other tribes sent by the United States government - in the 1960s - a brother of Los Angeles - a sister to Oakland.
Life is for the living, not the dead.
Only those whose hearts are in the right place - can take others to a better place. Aho.
