    The World Desperately Needs Copper. Corporate Greed Is Getting In The Way

    From the first part of the article:


    Shaman Davi Kopenawa says: “Salgueiro’s honoring the Yanomami is going down in the history of the people—of the forest and of the city.”

    In a conversation with the website Brasil de Fato (The Real Brazil), Davi Kopenawa, principal leader of Yanomami Land, celebrated his first experience of taking part in the parade of the Salgueiro Samba School in the 2024 Rio de Janeiro carnival last month.

    “For all those who want to know my thoughts [after the parade], I speak with love, I speak with love. I love the Land, I love my Amazonia, the coordinator of the Hutukara Yanomami Association declared.

    He spoke movingly of the happiness he felt passing through the Sapucaí parade grounds on top of a thematic float beside his “warriors.” Furthermore, the leader reiterated his demand that the illegal miners leave the territory.

    “[The parade] was very good, very good, very strong, healthy and joyous. This is history that we’re bringing to Rio de J

    I would also make one for: Tawantinsuyu National Authority; for Aymara National Authority; Guarani National Authority; Anahuac National Authority; Maya National Authority; Turtle Island National Authority; Mapuche National Authority; Aboriginal National Authority; and so on. But that's just too much effort and I don't think it is needed for now lol.

    Colonizers also claimed whites were "indigenous" to Africa

    Just as modern Zionists claim to be indigenous to Palestine, 19th-century British colonialists in Africa claimed that white people had lived in Africa since ancient times.

    When Cecil Rhodes sent in his agents to rob and steal in Zimbabwe, they and other Europeans marvelled at the surviving ruins of the Zimbabwe culture, and automatically assumed that it had been built by white people.

    -How Europe Underdeveloped Africa (Walter Rodney), Chapter 2.2g, p. 105

    Actually, Europeans were so impressed with what they saw in the interlacustrine zone [in Uganda] that they invented the thesis that those political states could not possibly have been the work of Africans and must have been built at an earlier date by white ‘Hamites’ from Ethiopia. This myth seemed to get some support from the fact that the Bachwezi were said to have been light-skinned. However, in the first place, had the Bachwezi come from Ethiopia they would have been black or brown Africans

    Proposal for the Decolonization of North AmeriKKKa

    After the revolution (or even before if possible), we should immediately create autonomous regions (ARs) based on the traditional territory of all native groups. This will include but not be limited to current reservations, even if those reservations are located outside of their traditional homeland (such as those in Oklahoma).

    These ARs will be able to make their own laws that apply to everyone in their territory, including non-natives. They will have their own elected governments, control of their natural resources, and have their own official languages. The current US Congress will be abolished and replaced by a Council of the Union (elected based on population) and a Council of Nationalities. Both will have to approve all national laws by a majority vote. Large native nations will have 8 representatives, medium-sized ones will have 3, and small ones will have one. There will also be a large number of representatives for the New Afrikan and Chicano nations and a smaller number for

    When studying the US or Canada, we are not studying a nation, but rather a prison house of nations bent on replacing the native or totally assimilating. Like Israel, this is the stated goal of the US project and it is no wonder why ‘manifest destiny’ bears barely any discernible differences from ‘lebensraum’ or ‘Zionism’. The most important aspect to these projects is the myth making that underlies their so-called rights to the land, and none of them are particularly unique. Instead all find themselves firmly justifying and creating the “white” identity, ever fluid, they pick and choose who constitutes ‘white’ and define it based on exclusion of an ‘other’. This is a trend we see manifest itself in medieval antisemitism which lies at the root of the story of the Zionist entity's creation. We also see the beginnings of whiteness form in the crusades and Spanish Reconquist

    Hello relatives, comrades, and allies. My name is Sungmanitu. I formed this collective of activists last winter in order to fundraise and bring out wood to keep elderly alive during the winter. This was a great accomplishment for us, and so this summer we helped put on a traditional ceremony known as Sundance that is historically one of the longest standing Sundances that was continued in the Badlands during the period of history they were outlawed.

    The way of life the Sundance helps preserve is called “the Red Road” or Chunka Luta which is where our name comes from. It is a message of hope and an offer of direction to those who lack direction, but know it is time to do something to build the world we want to see for the next generation. This traditional seat of power has withstood the test of time against US Imperialism, and therefore I think is worth investing our time and energy in. So we hope to raise a grand total of

    What does decolonization of Hawaii, and the US look like? From one Native Hawaiian's perspective (me)

    The US military is destroying our islands along with the 12 million tourists under foreign billionaire-owned tourism. Too many Americans are buying up our lands forcing us out by jacking home prices to $1.5 million etc.

    But the solution in places like Hawaii, North America is not as simple as everyone who is white or non-indigenous simply leaving.

    If the people in Hawaii & North America could repair the inequities with the indigenous people there, respect treaties, allow indigenous and ethnic minorities to exist as equal yet different - the way Vietnam, China have 50+ ethnic minorities who co-exist, allow them to speak languages, don't mass-arrest imjpoverish, etc - then everyone would not need to leave.

    If the colonizer-mindset people in Hawaii leave and go to N America, that pushes the problem to Native Americans. If they go to Europe, at least you don'
