la mujer y la luna
la luna representa a la mujer. es la dualidad del sol y es esencial a nuestra existencia.
la luna sustenta a la tierra con fuerza magnética, cuyas fuentes controlan los líquidos y hacen fluir las emociones. las olas del mar son impulsadas por la fuerza magnética de la luna.
es por eso que se le dice a la mujer que está en "su luna": la luna conecta con la sangre del cuerpo y ayuda a la mujer a inconcientemente purificarse una vez al mes. la luna es purificadora.
es por eso que se les llama "lunáticos": la luna llena irradia sus poderes magnéticos con tanta fuerza que los fluidos del cuerpo, principalmente la sangre, responden al llamado. la sangre sube a la cabeza e inquieta al sujeto. es por eso la asociación de los hombres lobos y las brujas con la luna llena.
las "brujas" no eran brujas. el wicca, la práctica y religión de "las brujas," es una religión que venera a la luna y a la naturaleza. reconoce la importancia femenina en el mundo y la espiritualidad dual. el cristianismo, religión patriarca, exitosamente persiguió y castigó a las mujeres que practicaban esta religión, llamándoles brujas y muchas veces quemándolas vivas en el acto de fe. millones de mujeres murieron en manos de la iglesia católica durante la época de la inquisición.
cuando la mujer cese de adorar a un dios patriarca y comienze a adorarse a sí misma - ese día la mujer y la luna serán eternamente libres.

i'm not a racist, i'm a revolutionary
so, i've been thinking a lot about race and the movement. the 1960's Brown Berets and Black Panthers were nationalist organizations. although I don't agree with everything they stood for, I still hold them in high regards for their contributions to the 1960's civil rights movements. we have to give respect to those who laid out the playing field, you know? in trying to understand why many organizations of the 1960's excluded white participation in the movement, I have come to a conclusion.
first of all, let me make it perfectly clear that I am not a racist. at least I don't consider myself one. you, on the other hand, might think otherwise, and that's okay. I don't consider myself a racist not because it's "un-PC" to be one, but because my ancestors were never historically racist. although they recognized the four races of the world (red, black, white, & yellow; represented by the four original colors of corn), they believed in equality among all relations. being "indian" was not based on the color of one's skin, but on one's acceptance of their values, worldview, customs, culture, and traditions. in present-day Florida, the Seminoles engaged in two wars against the American Government for refusing to hand over runaway African slaves. those African brothers and sisters would eventually become part of the tribe. when the first two Spanish invaders shipwrecked in what is now known as the Gulf of Mexico, they were both welcomed into a local Mayan tribe. when Cortes arrived in Mexico in 1519, he was surprised at seeing one of his own compatriots married to a Mayan woman, and with children.
the belief of blood-quantum is a European belief imposed on all indigenous people to cause division. it is a remnant of colonization. I would be falling in their trap if I were to discriminate anybody based on the color of their skin. but there are just some things which have got me thinking..
first of all, America is a white country. I do not speak of the historical land, but of the country per se. anyone who calls him or herself an American recognizes the legitimacy of a racist and genocidal country. plain and simple.
if the current movement is to do away with a legacy of genocide and greed, then the movement must be one to completely displace this land of any type of system which would promote the current status-quo. a status-quo which benefits most white people. from the most conservative, to "far-left liberals," almost all white people still recognize the legitimacy of this country. white liberals don't know how to react when true revolution is mentioned to them. they don't know how to react when asked if they would support handing over full power to Native Americans. from the conservatives to the liberals, they still call us "immigrants" and don't take seriously the fact that we are autochtonous to these lands. from conservatives to liberals, they both believe we should embrace this country, vote, buy a house, open a business, and do what Americans do. they both don't see the bigger picture: we're not here to please them, but to please ourselves. we are here to survive, not to fit in. we didn't cross the white border because we wanted to, we crossed it because we had to.
with that said, how could conventional white Americans fight for true revolution? it doesn't benefit them. the conservatives worry about their multi-billion dollar businesses, and the liberals worry about their peaceful privileged lifestyle. the 1960's militant movement was replaced by these white liberals promoting peace because peace doesn't really bring change. conformity doesn't bring change. non-confrontational politics doesn't bring change. freedom isn't handed out like confetti, freedom is taken...always!
while I have love for those white brothers and sisters fighting for true change, they need to understand that this movement for social justice might impact their lifestyle and privileges. the gradual distribution of wealth is not happening, and therefore it needs to be taken. if after reading this you are still down for the movement, regardless of race, culture, or creed, then you are my comrade. see you in the streets.

novus ordo seclorum
i have heard all these neo-cons talking about how the Iraq War compares to World War II because they are both "just wars." i am sick of it.
the only link between WWII and the Iraq War is the Bushes political dynasty. Prescott Bush (Dubya's grandfather) had business relations with the Nazi German businesses which financed Hitler's rise to power. Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) was the US base for the German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, who helped finance Hitler in the 1930s before falling out with him at the end of the decade. the Union Banking Corporation (UBC), of which Prescott Bush was director, represented Thyssen's US interests.
that set the stage for George Bush Sr. to become CIA director in the 70s, president in the 80s and 90s, and for Junior to become president twice in the new millenium. it brings us up to date, where we face a "pre-emptive war on terror."
get it straight, the only link between WWII and the Iraq War is the american vision of "novus ordo seclorum," (new world order) just like the nazis.

HR4437
so much has happened and so much is waiting to happen. the movement is alive and well. we don't need to unfold an american flag to validate our struggle. in fact, we invert the american flag! it is because of the extreme capitalism this country has modeled for the world that my homeland is suffering, as well as every other "third-world" country. foreign policies and economic oppression lead to an exodus of people trying to survive. my people don't cross a deadly border every day because this country is "so great." they do it to escape a corrupt repressive U.S.-backed government which through neo-liberalism, NAFTA, and the excuse for "progress" fucks over its own people to enrich U.S. corporations. capitalism is the problem. colonized countries will never be equal to colonizing countries...it's not how it's supposed to be. Manifest Destiny, the Monroe Doctrine, and now the Wolfowitz Doctrine are all strategies to further colonization. read some fucking history before opening your mouth to criticize immigration. fuck your immigrant concept. we are not immigrants, but migrant people returning to our land, which was taken amidst genocide and slavery by the Spanish, and then through lies and deceit (not much has changed, peace to my arabian brothers and sisters) by the Americans.
all these bitch-ass rich white people writing to their local newspapers talking about illegals drain our economy. motherfuckers, they are rich enough and they are still bitching because poor working-class people are trying to survive? they are the enemy! they are the ones who continue to benefit from their legacy of white supremacy and white power. they continue to reap the benefits of a racist past full of war stories and slave trades. first degree genocide of Native peoples and first-degree ignorance through Chinese Exclusion Acts, Japanese concentration camps, National Origins Acts, and now HR4437 and Kennedy-McCain bullshit bills. these rich white folks driving their SUV's and living large are benefitting from their privileged past, yet they are still bitching. it's not only about "immigrants" coming to work, it's about the human right to survive. to all those who claim to be for immigration because who will pick the strawberries, clean the restrooms, and mow the lawns?...fuck you too! people shouldn't have your sympathy simply because their potential non-existence threatens your way of life. don't be so damn egotistical! if you're gonna be with us, be 100%, and be sincerely for human rights, not just because your livelihood is threatened.
the movement is about human rights and everyone is welcome to fight alongside us. it's not a brown thing. it's not an immigrant thing. it's a human rights struggle, and I welcome you with open arms. let's do this shit!

gangs.
not really gangs, but street tribes waiting to be politicized. it's our job to do it.
north side. south side. east side. west side.
regardless what you claim, you have to understand we're all part of the four directions and we compose a sacred circle, just like our ancestors did.
there is an ancient prophecy from our ancestors which states that one day the eagle (which represents the north) and the condor (which represents the south) will unite! the time is now to fulfill that prophecy and realize we are pointing the gun in the wrong direction. do not quit banging! you are part of that circle. we need to stop banging against each other, and bang against the system!
