"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" Tells the Truth about American Indian-European Relations

This scene does not get enough credit or attention from American conservatives and patriots generally.

The "Stolen Land" argument has been done to death, and it's time to confront the truth about the American Indians and their successors' outrageous arguments about "their stolen land."

          

• Col. Nelson Miles : Sitting Bull requested this council. We await his words.

  Sitting Bull : Take your soldiers out of here. They scare the game away.

  Col. Nelson Miles : Very well, sir. Tell me, then: how far away should I take my men?

  Sitting Bull : You must take them out of our lands.

  Col. Nelson Miles : What precisely are your lands?

  Sitting Bull : These are the lands where my people lived before you whites first came.

  Col. Nelson Miles : I don't understand. We whites were not your first enemies. Why don't you demand back the land in Minnesota where the Chippewa and others forced you from years before?

  Sitting Bull : The Black Hills are a sacred land given to my people by Wakan Tanka.

  Col. Nelson Miles : How very convenient to cloak your claims in spiritualism. And what would you say to the Mormons and others who believe that their God has given to them Indian lands in the West?

  Sitting Bull : I would say they should listen to Wakan Tanka.

  Col. Nelson Miles : No matter what your legends say, you didn't sprout from the plains like the spring grasses. And you didn't coalesce out of the ether. You came out of the Minnesota woodlands armed to the teeth and set upon your fellow man. You massacred the Kiowa, the Omaha, the Ponca, the Oto and the Pawnee without mercy. And yet you claim the Black Hills as a private preserve bequeathed to you by the Great Spirit.

  Sitting Bull : And who gave us the guns and powder to kill our enemies? And who traded weapons to the Chippewa and others who drove us from our home?

  Col. Nelson Miles : Chief Sitting Bull, the proposition that you were a peaceable people before the appearance of the white man is the most fanciful legend of all. You were killing each other for hundreds of moons before the first white stepped foot on this continent. You conquered those tribes, lusting for their game and their lands, just as we have now conquered you for no less noble a cause.

  Sitting Bull : This is your story of my people!

  Col. Nelson Miles : This is the truth, not legend. Crazy Horse has surrendered... with his entire band. And by his surrender, he says to you and your people that you are defeated. And by ceding the Black Hills to us, so say Red Cloud and the other chiefs, who demand that you end this war and take your place on the reservation.

  Sitting Bull : Red Cloud is no longer a chief. He is a woman you have mounted and had your way with. Do not speak to me of Red Cloud!

  Col. Nelson Miles : I suppose *you* are the only chief then. Sitting Bull is king of all the Indians! Now, humility is one of the four virtues of the Sioux chief. Sitting Bull shows his true nature now.

  Sitting Bull : I have had my say with you.

  Col. Nelson Miles : And I have had my say with you.

  Sitting Bull : Then we will have a fight.

  Col. Nelson Miles : So be it.

Jared Taylor Is Wrong (As Usual)

Jared Taylor thinks that having dark skin makes you backward, stupid, uncivilized, or worse yet uncivilizable.

Here's his "epic" takedown against a another racialist commentator on the Young Turks:

It is so beautiful to see a well prepared man say - "it’s actually an observation" with conviction and real facts to back his stance. pic.twitter.com/V3QJRi1Q8d

Don't get me wrong: The Young Turks and their race-baiting is a crime against humanity. Their anti-white bigotry should be confronted and resisted at every turn.

However, the answer to anti-white bigotry is not anti-black bigotry. The answer to racism is not more racist, but truth.

And Mr. Taylor has a hard time with the truth.

He asserts that in Sub-Saharan Africa, there were no two-story buildings, no calendars.

Let's focus on the two-story building charge first.

Guess what? Ethiopa is part of Sub-Saharan Africa.

And guess what? They had two-story buildings:

Here's a brief commentary on this building from Wikipedia:

The eleven Rock-hewn Churches of Lalibela are monolithic churches located in the western Ethiopian Highlands near the town of Lalibela, named after the late-12th and early-13th century King Gebre Meskel Lalibela of the Zagwe dynasty, who commissioned the massive building project of 11 rock-hewn churches to recreate the holy city of Jerusalem in his own kingdom. The site remains in use by the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Church to this day, and it remains an important place of pilgrimage for Ethiopian Orthodox worshipers.^[1] It took 24 years to build all the 11 rock hewn churches.

We are talking the 13th century, not the 20th century. This building do not arise because of European investment or imperialism.

These were Sub-Saharan Africans, and they built not one, not two, but ELEVEN mutli-story buildings.

And that's not all.

Check out the Nsude pyramids of Nigeria:

Only their remains ... remain, but these were constructions of considerable height, to be sure.

The Zaccheus Onumba Dibiaezue Memorial Library reports:

Therefore, one must marvel at the Nsude pyramids in Nsude, Enugu state, on the Onitsha–Port Harcourt expressway just before 9th mile. On the left-hand side, from Onitsha to Enugu, the area where they used to be can be seen at the foot of a low hill, densely wooded and quite distinct from the surrounding grassland.

And check out these structures in the Ivory Coast:

Consider also these constructions in the Kingdom of Mutapa, in what is now Zimbabwa:

Now let's consider Taylor's second charge, that there were no calendars.

That is another lie.

Back to Wikpedia, folks:

Ethiopian Calendar

[edit]

The Ge'ez or Ethiopian Calendar is a calendar originating from the Ethiopian Empire. It is the liturgical year for Ethiopian and Eritrean Christians belonging to the Orthodox Tewahedo Churches and closely follows the Coptic Christian calendar.

A useful chart providing all the equivalents can be found in Chaîne's book on chronology in Ethiopia and Egypt,^[55] and can easily be consulted online at the Internet Archive, from page 134 to page 172.

Nigerian Calendars

[edit]

The Igbo calendar is the traditional calendar system of the Igbo people from present-day Nigeria. The calendar has 13 months in a year (afo), 7 weeks in a month (onwa), and 4 days of Igbo market days (afor, nkwo, eke, and orie) in a week (izu) plus an extra day at the end of the year, in the last month. The name of these months was reported by Onwuejeogwu (1981). The Yoruba calendar is a calendar used by the Yoruba people of southwestern and north central Nigeria and southern Benin. The calendar has a year beginning on the last moon of May or first moon of June of the Gregorian calendar. The new year coincides with the Ifá festival. The traditional Yoruba week has four days, the four days that are dedicated to the Orisa.

Ghana/West African

[edit]

The Akan Calendar is a Calendar created by the Akan people (a Kwa group of West Africa) who appear to have used a traditional system of timekeeping based on a six-day week (known as nnanson "seven-days" via inclusive counting). The Gregorian seven-day week is known as nnawɔtwe (eight-days). The combination of these two system resulted in periods of 40 days, known as adaduanan (meaning "forty days").

Xhosa Calendar

[edit]

The traditional isiXhosa names for months of the year poetically come from names of stars, plants, and flowers that grow or seasonal changes that happen at a given time of year in Southern Africa.

The Xhosa year traditionally begins in June and ends in May when the brightest star visible in the Southern Hemisphere, Canopus, signals the time for harvesting.

Now, some may charge that these developments are irrelevant, because they were spurred on by Arab or European traders and missionaries.

If that is the case, then the whole discussion is moot, because Western and Eastern European barbaric tribes were just as backward.

What caused a real explosion of revelation, knowledge, and wisdom was the Greco-Roman innovations and insights (Reason) and Judeo-Christian Revelation. Skin color is immaterial to the matter entirely.

What caused some regions to thrive, and others to take a dive, was communication vs. isolation, trade vs. intransigence, and spiritual growth vs. stagnation. Skin color is immaterial to the matter.

The Fall of Europe: The Post-Modern Contradictions of Douglas Murray

 Douglas Murray is a conservative. He talks about conserving culture, promoting free enterprise, a robust foreign policy which ensures the hegemony and pre-emince of Western values around the world.

He is also openly gay.

He also calls himself an atheist.

In fact, he has styled himself a "Christian atheist".

Such a phrase is not just absolute nonsense, but an outright oxymoron.

He supports so-called Christian culture, but he is not a Christian himself.

His conflict of identity exposes the crisis of Europe in particular, and the Western World in general.

People want the trappings, the benefits, the effects of Christianity. They want the civilization, the freedom of enterprise, they want the trust and integrity of good will and good manners, which make commerce possible, and allow arts and proper inquiry to flourish.

But they don't want Christ.

You cannot have the thriving Western World without the One who made the worlds, and sent His Son to redeem the world.

Redemption is essential. The gift of righteousness is essential. The saving grace of God through Jesus is essential.

Faith is essential, and not merely some pathetic faith in man's abilities and intellect. The world needs faith in Christ Jesus to be saved. The West was saved, and then the West thrived. It's that simple.

Even Hegel, an arrogant crank of an academic who turned into an apologist for the Prussian State, had to conceded in his "The Philosophy of History" that there must be Reformation before there is Revolution. There can be no change in the culture, in the political framework of any country, until there is a spiritual awakening, a spiritual revival.

The United States. the Western World as a whole needs to get WOKE in the truest sense: a spiritual awakening. The whole world must awaken to righteousness.

The Western World has forgotten the Savior. They just want to save the good effects of good culture, but they cannot have the good without the godly, and they cannot receive the godly without the Gospel.

More reflections on this will come at a later time.

Pat Condell: Wise Words For America and to the Criminal Migrant

The Bible clearly states "The fool has said in his heart 'There is no God.'" (Psalm 14:1)

Pat Condell of Great Britian, a YouTube sensation who speaks truth to Progressive frauds, advertises himself as an atheist.

Yet he possesses an erudition and blunt courage with a decent level of wisdom.

Would that more elected officials listened to him, as he channels very effectively the outpouring outrage of Europe's masses.

He is not afraid to speak truth to Progressive power, seized in Europe Universities, Courts, and Parliaments.

This power has determined that equality and the well-being of criminal migrants infesting Europe is more important than the Western values which make civilization possible.

Condell has amazed millions around the world in his YouTube commentaries, millions woh are fed up with the stifling, fascist political correctness that silences reasoned dissent against mass migration, climate change, and crippling policies afflicting free markets and free people.

He loves to pillory the race card, and the real racists who employ the term to shame opponents of mass migration and progressive values (if they can be called such).

He routinely calls out the dedicated class of corporations, bureaucrats, and corrupt special interests , who have designs on Europe. They want a "common market" for their own vision of global peace and harmony, a technocracy of efficient governance unimpeded by individual prejudices. There is only problem with this globalist vision: it comes with a price--a boot in our faces forever, per George Orwell. Fascism is the end of this technocratic dream, which has become a bureaucratic nightmare for those who have to live under it and pay for it.

But this corrupt military-industrial complex is coming to an end, and Condell is happy to report the good news for us.

In Great Britian, the Brexit pushed aside the Europe Union's coven of cronies. 

In the Netherlands, more citizens are questioning the entire EU project.

In Italy, the political Establishment faces epic collapse over the Renzi government's failed referendum.

Corporate interests wanted to build a globalist society with themselves as a new aristocracy and everyone else reduced to second-class feudal status. The attempts by the political class to stifle this populist, back-to-basics uprising have failed.

The spark that set off the new populist podwerkeg?

Immigration, and the migrant crisis of abusive, perverse, destructive refugees overrunning and ruining Europe: women raped, children raped, men assaulted and killed.

Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, unprecedented after all the decades when the French Republic was touted as a haven of tolerance.

From the embittering arrogance of the political class, however, no compassion has been forthcoming, and no desire to safeguard these communities and the citizens of their countries. All of this has become not just intolerable, but has produced a screech of "Stop!" from the Europeans.

Condell announced to the criminal migrants despoiling Europe that "Their end is near."

I appreciate his cogent yet forceful disgust with these illegal aliens.

He is not afraid to call their "culture and values" barbaric.

He does not shy away from shaming the government institutions purportedly instituted to protect the rights of Europeans, but instead protect the terrorizing lawlessness of the migrants masquerading as refugees.

I particularly enjoyed his savage parody of the Left's buzzwords "tolerance" and "human rights," terms now laughably devoid of meaning. Activist judges use these terms to justify untold harms and abuses to Austrian, German, Swedish, British citizens, etc.

Multiculturalism takes a heavy hit, as well, since the term has become an excuse to drag Western Civilization into the backward, execrable Third World mire of misogyny, mutilation, rampant poverty, and corruption.

Were Condell not an atheist, his wisdom would be unassailable.

Despite his rejection of divine revelation, Condell is wiser than most in Europe, and he praised Americans for practicing their own wisdom by reject Crooked Dhimmi Hillary Clinton. 

Indeed, We the People of the United States dodged a bullet, rejecting European collectivism and one-sided multiculturalism.

Let's hope that in the months to come, the member states of Europe overthrow their would-be corporate-bureaucratic masters, secure their borders, and enforce the rights and privileges of their own people against the invading criminal migrants of the Middle East.

What Brexit Means for the Pro-Family Movement

The Brits voting overwhelmingly for Brexit was a wholesale repudiation of globalism, which places the interests of the world and global rule — in this case the interests of all Western Europe — above those of an individual nation.

The Globalists in our midst are statists, and I would venture further—Satanists.

They do not regard the Lord God with the full reverence He deserves. They want all references to His Divine authority removed and replaced with their own arrogant determinations.

To meet that end, where man is supreme, and humanism the final ideal, a one-world order is necessary. The erasure of distinctions and conflicts merely ensures a greater ease for imposing dominance on others.

Besides, unity free of conflict and discord appeals to less aware minds. The most well-intentioned of leaders, thinkers, and everyday people would like to see the removal of hardened barriers. Jean-Jacques Rousseau preached this secular hodge-podge Gospel, and the modern (yet in reality every backward) progressives dedicated their research and talents to creating a better world, a Novus Ordo Seclorum.

There is only one problem.

The concept of a unified world order sounds enticing at first, but it cannot happen without the unconditional surrender of individual sovereignty. Who should make these decisions?

Like the babbling idiots post-Babel, the devious ingenuity of man hits not just one, but many brick walls, and not only because he can no longer build with them.

The facts are that the small cadre of elites in our society want to reduce every person and local authority to their whim. From the major corporations out to make money, and distort the marketplace in the process, to the military-industrial complex, to the Big Everything litany—Big Banks, Big Business, Big Bureaucrats—out to enrich themselves through unaccountable law-giving and taxation, they are destined to make the state supreme, and themselves the supreme heads of that state.

One of the key policies in that agenda? The destruction of the family.

The homosexual barrage in numerous facets of our culture—education, media, entertainment, commerce–indicates the aggressive advancement of the Human Rights Campaign (inhuman and anything but right), all stem from this progressive insistence on removing Daddy and Mommy from kids’ lives. After all, Big Government requires not just removing the primacy of the individual, but also reducing the relevance and value of the family.

This disturbing tactic is nothing new.

Go back to Plato’s Republic, and the same agenda is spelled out by the mythical Socrates to his intellectual charges. If the benevolent despots wish to remake society in their own image (notice again the direct necessity of removing any mention let alone respect for God Almighty), the dangerous elites must get control of the children early.

Of course, the Greeks with all their “wisdom”, were not endowed with a sanctified revelation of the Living God who loves all mankind and wishes us to have life.

What about other groups?

The Islamic Ottomans would kidnap children in their blood-thirsty conquests throughout the Middle East and the Mediterranean. The Nazis took extra care to indoctrinate the Hitler Youth to pledge allegiance not to the state, or to the Nazi ideology, but the Fuhrer himself.

The determination has changed shape, color, and creed, but the impulse is still the same.

The Globalist agenda, anti-family and anti-liberty, is very pro-interventionist.

Let us have your children, and we will teach them cunningly devised fables.

They will believe in Big Brother, not YHWH. They will recognize the force of the state, and the Dear Leader of this or that dynasty.

Now we find them in less polished form, more dedicated to a calm neutrality, armed and ready to take the different nations by storm. The technocrats out of Brussels are worse than the fabulist philosopher kings of Plato, the fanatical janissaries of the Muslim world, or even the less spiteful kings of the Medieval times. The last of that sortie were rogues, but at least they recognized some sort of divine power.

The modern European Commissioners want to dispense with God and make themselves the final authority. No higher power than the European Superstate. Individual functionaries can rise through the ranks, but must adhere to the collective mindset. Inner Party v. Outer Party, Comrade Ogilvie goes down the Memory Hole. If you do not comply, you go to Room 101.

Yes, people, the European Commission, the unelected policymakers, regulators, and central bankers embody George Orwell’s 1984 nightmare.

Mom and Dad are gone, just open up your arms wide to Big Brother, even if the thought police have their guns pointed at the back of your head.

And of course, the future: A boot in your face forever. Yes, that is the sad game that the globalists want to play, and you and I will pay.

But not for long. The United Kingdom Independence Party fought for Britons to put Great Britain First! Nigel Farage, the long-standing leader of the movement, outlined clear, free-market principles. He also declared the party’s opposition to … gay marriage!

Biggest concern? The attacks on individual liberty and freedom of conscience!

He has also supported allowing every British citizen to own their own handgun.

The Brexit signals the restoration of sovereignty, and with that the restoration of family power. The British voters said “Enough!” Their declaration is not just for the individual nation state, but for the individual family, and the individuals themselves. Watch and see as pro-marriage and pro-life movements manifest themselves stronger than ever!
