Pliny: 'They came'
'They came'
First they came for the tribes' land,
said it was empty and stole it,
but we did not speak up because we were not tribesmen,
and our laws encouraged it.
Then they came for what was under the tribes' land,
said it was rich and dug it up,
but we did not speak up because we were not tribesmen,
and our economy needed it.
Then they came for the tribes' culture,
said it was primitive and destroyed it,
but we did not speak up because we were not tribesmen,
and our own culture confirmed it.
Finally, they came for the tribes themselves,
said they weren’t real people and killed them,
but still we did not speak up because we were not tribesmen,
and our science proved it.
There was no need to come for us
because we were on their side.
No longer!
Now we will speak up!

SPIRITUAL EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN
Image by Chris Weisberg via Flickr
By Stephanie M. Schwartz Excerpted from the book, “An Old Woman Speaks” © 2009 Member, Native American Journalists Association (NAJA) Published at www.SilvrDrach.homestead.com/Schwartz_2009_Jun_22.html --
Today we are facing a new Era. The ancient Mayan culture speaks of this change, the ending of their old calendar in 2012, and the beginning of a new age. They, along with many other indigenous cultures, also speak that this coming time will be one of a more feminine nature, based in the heart.
But women in our modern world have a problem. Thus far, they have begun to become financially empowered and professionally empowered. Yet the most important need, for spiritual empowerment, has often been neglected or ignored.
Our world is already in the time of transition and it will be a difficult time until the new era blossoms into an age of peace and understanding. If our world is to survive, spiritually empowered women must take their place in helping. It’s time for them to step up and step out. The time of hiding is over.
Most “aware” people know that it is necessary to heal our Grandmother Earth if we are to survive. However, it is equally as imperative to also heal each other through love, compassion, respect and, most of all, prayer. Prayers of the heart are one of the most powerful influences in the universe. Moreover, women also need to help men develop their own feminine aspects of gentleness and sensitivity, compassion, nurturing, and kindness. They need to help men learn to work from the heart.
If we don’t do all of this, we can’t help our planet and humanity risks extinction.
Women are powerful, truly powerful, with unique gifts that are far-reaching. That is why they have been considered a threat by so many male-dominated modern cultures and religious hierarchy. Women are especially tuned to walk in both the spiritual world and the mundane world. They are particularly adept at creating energy and change. Their great capacity for bonding has made them especially empathic and gifted at seeing and understanding past surface levels. Ultimately, their roles as caretakers and nurturers have opened their hearts and awareness to many levels of the universe. Their spiritual gifts can be profound.
Unfortunately, women have begun to lose that understanding of their gifts as they have grappled to survive in the callous societies of today. Many live tentative, cold, and fragmented lives as victims of violence, victims of unspeakable offenses against honor. Too often, their hearts and spirit have become uncertain and lost, awash in grief and fear. They have forgotten who they are. They have forgotten their original instructions as human beings and as women.
Yet, most indigenous cultures recognized the unique and powerful qualities of women. In many cultures they were revered and respected. In some, the entire societal structure was Matriarchal. In others, the special spiritual gifts of women were recognized and they were considered to be the nurturing connection to the Divine. Throughout the indigenous world, women often held the honored roles of leaders, advisors, or wisdom-keepers. Many times, they were also found as the community healer and seer, although in some cultures that was reserved for women in their post-menopausal years.
It was also fully recognized that a woman’s moon-time, her period of menstruation, was her most powerful, albeit her most uncontrolled, time. More importantly, however, her moon-time was considered her own personal sacred ceremony, a time where she is quite literally shedding her blood for humanity, purging and purifying herself to make room for the creative energies and life to arrive.
Due to the sacredness of this, some indigenous cultures sequestered their women away from the village during their moon-time. This wasn’t a banning or shunning as is popularly assumed today. This was a period of protection and rest from the duties of their very hard lives, a few days off each month. It was where they were waited upon by other women and served food they didn’t have to cook themselves. It was also a time for reflection or sharing and bonding with other women. In short, it was a time of respect and honor and rest.
During this time, they also did not participate or go near any ceremony being conducted outside their seclusion. There was good reason for this. The main reason, very logical, is that it is never a good idea to cross ceremonies (start a ceremony while another one is in process). At best, it just all blows up and becomes so diluted into confusion that nothing happens for anyone. At worst, you can get some very crossed energies going with highly negative and chaotic results. Therefore, since the women were already in their own ceremony, it was highly unadvisable for them to go near anyone else’s ceremony.
A secondary reason was simply the powerful but raw, uncontrolled energies that sometimes occur when a woman is on her moon-time. Few women know how to control it and that kind of energy is quite literally capable of blasting anyone and anything, intentionally or unintentionally. If you don’t know what I mean then simply think of the last time you crossed a woman who was on her moon-time. It’s not a pretty sight.
The ancient cultures all knew and understood these things. Unfortunately, the truth has often been lost along the way to modern times or misconstrued and twisted into untruth. Women have nearly forgotten their place in the Universe.
So it’s time that women start looking at their power, their bodies, and their cycles with respect instead of as a “curse.” It’s vitally important that women choose to heal themselves and regain the understanding of their own unique gifts; to re-claim their own power and themselves. Then it will be up to each woman, her beliefs, and her Divine as how to best walk with it all.
It is said we are the sacred 7th generation. For our children and grandchildren, for the next 7 generations, for ourselves, it’s time for women to harness their power and get to work helping to save our world. Women can do it; they are particularly suited for this need. But it’s a choice.
To quote an ancient indigenous song, “Women of the earth, take courage. You carry the teaching of a people who look to you for guidance. Be mindful of your walk.”
We are the ones we have been waiting for. It’s time to step up. And yes, I’m speaking to you.

"Must Brown People Be Martyred For Americans To Be Motivated?"
Read the rest of this thought provoking post at "What Tami Said"."Why must we see an Iranian woman die on a city street in order to understand the gravity of the country's political upheaval? Why must we see brown bodies bloated and floating to give a damn about the tsunami in Myanmar or the hurricane in New Orleans? Why did we have to see Oscar Grant killed in cold blood by police on a BART platform to talk about racism and the justice system? Why did it take the mangled body of 14-year-old Emmitt Till to give America an inkling of the tyranny and danger that black folks faced in the South every day?
I think Americans are fetishizing video of Neda Soltani's death in a way they would not if she were a young, blonde, American college student shot down on an American street. We do not need to see the lifeless bodies of those women in order to care for them. But people like Neda owe access to their deaths so Americans can access their own humanity.
Isn't there something wrong with this?"
SIDENOTE: I came across the post above after reading a post by Fatemah at Muslima Media Watch entitled "There Will be Blood: Neda Agha Soltan’s Post-Mortem Image in the Media".
Fatemah rightly questions the manner that Neda Soltan's dying image is being used in the Western media. She writes:
"Neda is represented as a corpse just as often as she is represented the way any murdered American woman would be: alive and smiling, usually in a picture given to the media by her family or friends ...What speaks loudly to me in both posts above is that Nadia Soltan is made to disappear in acts of media erasure that sell her death/murder to the prejudicial whims of largely ignorant Americans, in particular.
Aside from the talk that she is a martyr for Iran’s opposition movement, many in the West are using her death to educate themselves about Iran’s current crisis, viewing Iran through a lens of violence and cruelty, which many add to their current knowledge of the country as repressive, backward, and unsafe for Americans. Neda’s death may help Iranians band closer together and become stronger in their fight for a government that treats them with respect, but here in the West, her lifeless body is little more than another reminder of the instability and danger of 'over there'.
What difference has her death made here in the West?"
By obscuring/erasing Ms. Soltan her complexity, and the politics around her, is framed and made accessible for a prejudicial mindset that is contained by a long history of imperial reductionism.
Nadia Soltan was an innocent no doubt. But so are the 40 plus Pakistani innocent civilians the US massacred in northwest Pakistan two days ago.
Who speaks for these 'faceless' people? Where is the outcry in the US media and its citizenry?
Mathew Cassell in an article in The Electronic Intifada entitled "The Western Media and Iran" puts it aptly when he writes:
Now what say you?"The US media often celebrate themselves as the "freest and fairest" in the world, completely independent of a state unlike, for example, the media in Iran. Yet, an astute observer will notice that the US media generally choose stories and cover them in a way that play directly into the US's global agenda.
Who decides whether or not a particular issue is "newsworthy?" One would think that this is the role of the media, to cover issues like conflict or rights abuses as they happen around the world. Although, it seems this isn't the case. Most Western media appear to follow their government's lead when focusing on different issues and then cover them in a way fitting with the government's position, hence the complete domination of events in Iran in nearly every single Western media outlet and the overwhelmingly positive portrayal of the protestors and the opposition as just. The current case of Iran makes it clear that it is governments who are directing the media's coverage, instead of the actual news organizations themselves."
Onward!

Update from the Sydney G20 Solidarity Collective
Trials of the three remaining arrestees from the anti-G20 demonstrations in Melbourne 2006 will begin on June 30 at the Melbourne Magistrate's Court. We urge people to come to Melbourne to show their support and political solidarity to the arrestees.
These trials do not mark the first of such kind, but more importantly, they do not mark the last. We need to build a strong culture of providing meaningful political solidarity to those targeted by the state.
About the trials
The first person to face court is a mother from Melbourne – all the prosecution are saying she did was wave a flag and yell, and she is fighting riot charges, as well as charges of affray and criminal damage. Her trial begins on June 30.
On July 13 two men from Sydney go to trial. They are facing charges of aggravated burglary, which can carry a 25 year jail term, for allegedly walking into offices on ‘Corporate Engagement Day’ with nothing more than glitter and water pistols.
One of them then has another trial after that for allegations of assaulting police.
All of these trials will be in front of a jury in Melbourne Magistrates Court.
What were the G20 protests?
In November 2006 the G20 (the finance ministers from the 20 richest countries) met in Melbourne. Protests against them began on Friday with ‘corporate engagement day,’ which targeted offices including defence force recruiting, a company called Tenix, which is a military contractor, and branches of ANZ bank, which is profiteering from the occupation of Iraq.
The next day thousands of people defied police intimidation to protest in the streets of central Melbourne for a variety of reasons, including opposition to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and to the neoliberal agenda being pushed in the Pacific through agreements like PACER. A few hundred people diverged from the rally, ran around a bit, dismantled some barricades and smashed the windows of a police van.
Arrests began the next day. All up 28 people were charged. One person, Akin Sari, is currently in jail serving a 28-month sentence. Most of the other arrestees pleaded guilty to reduced charges and got fines, suspended sentences and/ or community based orders.
Regardless of your opinion of the protests, it is important to realise that the police response and the severe charges given were unprecedented and out of all proportion. It was an attempt to isolate and intimidate people and discourage political activity.
Solidarity
With people coming together for the trials, we want to take the opportunity to talk to one another. One afternoon on the weekend of July 18th and 19th, there will be a discussion about developing and improving a culture of political solidarity in the face of state repression, using the current example arising post-G20 2006. Following this, a similar discussion will happen in Sydney during August. The dates and locations are yet to be finalised: please contact us for more information.
Please come to support people in the courtroom if you can. If you have money, please donate to the solidarity fund so we have money if it’s needed for legal and other support costs.
These political prosecutions are part of a much broader attack – and their outcomes, and how we deal with them, will affect all of our abilities to act on our opposition, whatever tactics we use.

Talking points
Indigenous peoples rights must be respected by Peru, included in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted in 2007.
The right of consultations with Indigenous peoples is included at the ILO 169 Convention. This must be done with respect and honest intention of defending the rights of all Peruvian citizens and not only the interests of multinational corporations.
This massacre is a direct result of an abusive implementation of policies included in the US-Peru Free Trade Agreement, by Peru’s president Alan Garcia who used it as an instrument of corporate corruption and collusion in the genocide of the Indigenous peoples.
The Peruvian government is presenting this tragedy as if it was caused by the Native peoples, which is not truth. Amazonian peoples protested without violence for almost 2 months, until the Police attacked them. All the casualties are unjustified and should have never happened.
The Peruvian media which is mostly biased and controlled by the government and corporate interests, is reporting that Police officers were kidnapped and massacred by the Indigenous peoples, but is not reporting about the abusive attack on civilians, and snipers and helicopters shooting at civilians including children. Witnesses have said that dead bodies were burned down and thrown to the rivers, and that police prevented civilians from rescuing injured protesters.
In the last 56 days, Amazonian Indigenous peoples of Peru are fighting to protect their territories, as the government of Lima has passed decrees that lease 73% of the Amazon forest and allow extractive industries corporations to take over their land, without previous consultation. The Amazonian peoples are requesting especifically for Lima to repeal those decrees.
Indigenous peoples do not oppose progress and private investment. They want to protect their land, their families and the environment, they want for corporations to respect their traditions and ways of living.
There have been years of protests since the signing of the Peru FTA by then presidents George W. Bush and Alejandro Toledo. Indigenous peoples have tried to dialogue, but the Lima government refused to listen and even prevented a national referendum in 2006.
As a way to protest and demand to be heard, the Amazon Indigenous peoples started popular strikes, oil facilities takeovers and road blockades in 8 regions of the country. This was replied by the Garcia administration by sending police and military forces to repress the protesters violently. People in Bagua responded burning down government buildings and lootings have also occurred.
Indigenous peoples value the land as a part of a our system of life, we don't own the land but we belong to it. There will not be a way for the government of Peru to impose its corporate benefiting laws because Indigenous people will defend their territories.
After the recent bloody attack, violence has slowed as today Sunday June 7. The military has taken over control of the region in conflict, but Lima has issued a warrant arrest for Alberto Pizango, the most prominent leader of the Amazon Indigenous peoples and his whereabouts are unknown at this moment.
Unfortunately, other leaders are also being prosecuted by the government and there is a possibility of future attacks of the military on other Indigenous communities. WE MUST ACT NOW!

An Open Letter to the People, the Churches, and the Government of Canada on the First Anniversary of Canada's "Apology"
Or to 50,000 other Dead Children?
at the United Church's Edmonton Indian Residential School
An Open Letter to the People, the Churches, and the Government of Canada on the First Anniversary of Canada's "Apology" to Residential School Survivors, from indigenous elders
June 11, 2009
- Not one person has been arrested or tried for the death of a child in a residential school
- The churches responsible for the deaths of more than 50,000 children in these "schools" have been exonerated for their crime
- There will be no criminal investigation, naming of names or accountability regarding the residential schools
- The remains of the children who died have not been returned for a proper burial
- Over half of the survivors of the residential schools genocide have been disqualified from any compensation or recognition
- All of the survivors continue to die at genocidal levels because of what they suffered in these "schools"
- Justice is obstructed, as the full truth of the residential schools genocide continues to be suppressed and denied by the government and churches responsible
No-one who caused the death of even a single child would claim to be "reconciled" with their victim's family, or freed from prosecution, simply by issuing a verbal "apology" and a bit of money. On the contrary, such behaviour would be considered an attempt to miscarriage justice.
Then why, and how, have the Catholic, Anglican and United churches been able to do so, over their killing of untold thousands of children, aided by the government of Canada?
We have spent years trying to hold these murderers accountable for their crimes against our people and our land. But since they are the law, and determine "justice" and "healing" on their own terms, we will never win justice from them.
A year ago, "Prime Minister" Steven Harper exonerated his government and these churches with a hollow "apology" that released them from any responsibility for their murder of our children. Today, we declare that these institutions are not absolved from their guilt, or their liability, for their murder of our people.
As elders from the Nishgaa, Coast Salish, Cree, Anishinabe and Metis Nations, in alliance with Euro-Canadians who have renounced their allegiance to the genocidal Canadian state and the so-called "crown", we declare our intent to put these criminal bodies of church and state on trial and bring the guilty to justice by the following measures:
1. We hereby and forever expel the Catholic, Anglican and United Church of Canada from our territories;
2. We declare a public banning and boycott of these churches and ask all people to avoid all contact with or funding of them;
3. We hereby and forever declare our sovereignty as indigenous nations under a federated Republic of Kanata, and sever all connection with the so-called "crown" and the government of Canada, and all its agents, including the fraudulent "Truth and Reconciliation Commission", native band council chiefs and the government-funded "Assembly of First Nations";
4. We hereby establish indigenous courts of law on our own territories, in which we will try and convict those responsible for residential school crimes, including the murder of children, and all other crimes against our lands and our people, and
5. We call for international and diplomatic recognition of these measures, and request international human rights monitors and peacekeeping teams to come to our territories as witnesses to our efforts and demands.
These are the steps by which justice will be won for our people, and for the murdered residential school children. We will issue a more formal Declaration of Independence this September.
We call upon all people of conscience to rally behind us and our five steps.

Browser Issues
If the IIN newsblog looks queer on your monitor, you´re most likely using a merde browser that doesn´t support modern web standards. Internet Explorer, we are looking directly at you, sir. Google Chrome however only gets a passing glance. Please be smarter than the average 1´st worlder, download and use either Firefox, Opera or Safari because they are safer for your OS, respectful of your privacy, cross-platform and help you get the most out of the world wide web. And of course, they are offered at no cost to the global Internet public.
