September Red
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural
Dragon Skin....
Under the green leaves of the Dragon's skin
lay a vital and vulnerable heart.
As opposed to the well oiled mechanical Tin Man,
whose heart will never start beating,
As,
day after day,
week after week,
moon after moon,
year after year,
mile after mile,
measure after measure,
the mechanical beast devours
destroys,
murders
this place we call home
our grandmother earth
and
sacred life.

Who’s Planet?
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural
I was intensly dreaming this morning.....I was with a small group of people on some different planet. It seemed all but deserted at first. I won't go into details here, but when I woke, I wondered who's planet or what planet I was on.
Then I heard the bird song and remembered the mission we are on and smiled for the opportunity at one more day on this planet. The one we are blessed to live on. This is why I desperately try to help GrandMother Earth. How can we expect to evolve or transcend if we haven't learned to take care of what we've been given? Yes, there is eternity to do it in, but wow, sometimes all the hate and war gets old. It's like....I'm counting the days until I get outta here. Then I look at a child's smile or tears, and I know I have to keep shining light in dark places to end this madness our world has fallen into.
I feel some peoples misunderstand me/us. I am at a cross road. It is called the balance. there are two roads, a dark road and a light road and they intersect each other. I find it is wise to stay in the center, so as not to lose balance.
Just as we can get lost and are capable of traveling the dark road, the same can be said for the light road. Does anyone understand this? The light road here on earth can be just as blinding as the dark road is.
Balance. It's not always easy to do. But I'm trying. I appreciate all you beautiful people who are on the road with me. Much love going out to you all from here.

Prophessors and Professors
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural
Sometimes, it only gets stranger. Lightning and Dreams.
Do we ever "Teach" the Teacher?
Or do they just learn from us as we learn from them?
At times, even "Teachers," need encouragement
to complete the mission. It was so and accomplished.
Who are these twelve (?) persons
sitting around the rectangle table?
With candles? Making Feather Light of my heart?
Who is the Professor, who is not friendly to
colleagues nor alumni?
Yet he shoves the transcript at me
and says "Add to this what is yours in mine!!!"
What? Confusion, much confusion as I peer
inside the private book. What does he want?
He just ASSUMES I know.
Perhaps he does know.
He wants the Sacrifice Blues.

Defenders of the Black Hills summary special meeting
Category: News and Politics
Defenders of the Blackhills
Summary of the Special Meeting held July 19, 2008
A Special Meeting was held in the coffee room of St. Isaac Jogues Church to discuss a number of new projects that are coming into the Region.
A. The TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline will be traveling from Hardisty, Alberta, Canada through Montana and starting at the Northwestern corner of South Dakota, it will traverse the state in a diagonal line. The pipeline plans on carrying crude oil to Texas. Discussion centered on what can be done and who is already in opposition. This item will again be discussed at the Sept. meeting.
B. Ellsworth Air Force Base has plans on expanding their flight training area. Marvin Kammerer, a local rancher, presented a lot of information to the group and suggested that people call the Congressional delegates requesting the comment period be extended. This item will also be discussed at the Sept. meeting.
A committee was established regarding reclaiming the Powder River Basin. Garvard Good Plume and L. Elaine Eagle head the committee. Anyone wishing to be a part of that committee should contact either Garvard at 605-441-1254 or Elaine at 605-545-3091.
Discussion continued on a new law that is needed for safe decibal levels for humans as is in other nations of the world. Also, if the Air Force plans are approved, the building of large wind generators will be prohibited.
C. A Uranium Strategy Committee was established with Charmaine and Sandy Little. Sandy will contact a funding source so an Anti-Oil, Coal, Uranium Mining Campaign can be implemented. The USA has no regulations or monitoring of radiation in oil, nor regulations on coal-fired power plants for radioactive smoke. No new U mining should be allowed until ALL old open pit U mines are cleaned up, and old exploratory wells filled and marked. Anyone wanting to be on this Committee, please call Charmaine at 605-399-1868.
D. Further discussion was held on SD Highway Plans, new logging projects in the Black Hills, and comments for the Angostura Recreation Area . (See enclosed)
E. Plans for the Sept. 13 Meeting were discussed. Recommendation was to get a speaker to talk about water issue. A Rapid City Journal article stated that the 5 Major Rivers are Contaminated.
Handouts
1. A Declaration of Affirmation of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 was approved at the April 12, 2008, meeting and is enclosed. The Declaration be available soon in the Lakota language.
2. Copies of the Report given to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination were available at the April meeting but were soon depleted. A list of names was taken for Reports. However, we have been unable to complete the reports until now for a number of reasons. Those who signed up to receive the CERD Report will be receiving their copy shortly.
On another note, the CERD Report is in the process of publication by the University of Nebraska Press. The CERD Report gives a brief history of the Great Sioux Nation, the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, and the impact of nuclear radiation on the Region with particular attention to the survival of the Great Sioux Nation. The CERD Report is also available on the Internet on the Defenders website: www.defendblackhills.org/joomla
3. Copies of a preview of the Analysis of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples were also available at the April meeting. The Analysis is still being formatted as it is lengthy but gives the position of the Teton Sioux Nation Treaty Council and why they are opposed to the final document that was approved by the United Nations. Those who signed up to receive copies will receive them as soon as they are ready.
[Note: As mentioned above, when we send out copies of information, sometimes it is costly. Donations for postage and mailing are always welcome. We have not required postage for any mailing so that anyone wishing to receive information will not be denied.]
Angostura Reservoir Management Plans Call (605) 394-9757 Ext. 3004 for more Info.
Angostura Reservoir is located near Hot Springs, SD, and receives water from the Cheyenne River. The Bureau of Reclamation manages the Reservoir and is currently taking comments on their Recreation Management Plan. We are concerned that water flowing into the Reservoir may be contaminated with uranium and radioactivity. Our water samples further downstream show above maximum contamination from alpha radiation. If alpha radiation gets into your mouth, ears, eyes, nose, or a cut in the skin, then it can proceed to cause damage such as a tumor or cancer. Swimming provides a way for alpha radiation to enter the body. We hope the BLM will look at this issue in-depth, rather than just increasing more recreation opportunities. Please send comments by Aug. 31, 2008, to Ryan Alcorn, Bureau of Reclamation 515 9th Street, Room 101, Rapid City, SD 57701.

Ammonite Quakes
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural
Ammonite Quakes
Like Déjàvu of the Ancients
Antediluvian fate
it starts in Eurasia
and spirals
counter clockwise,
waves and waves of
seismic shakes
and quakes,
seconds turn to minutes
it does not stop,
minutes and more minutes
until it reaches the
top third of Africa
as it spirals out of control.
Adrenalin flowing, heart racing
a warning that can't be ignored.
Each day now given
is a blessing in and
of itself.
Walk in peace and beauty,
8/21/2008

Were these the people who were calling? Hmmmm....another search led to:
The Omega Group - who provides provides fire, education and police agencies with advanced mapping and analysis tools....who are introducing Crime Mapping this year...
Wow, Crime Mapping. Sounds interesting. But, were they the ones calling? I doubt it, but you never know....another search was VERY intriguing, it led too:
Omega Group - Brookhaven National Laboratory
Brookhaven National Laborato
Physics Department
Building 510A
Upton, Long Island, NY 11973
U.S.A.
Who are introducing....MicroBooNE, an approved experiment at Fermilab to build a large liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) to be exposed to the Booster neutrino beam and the NuMI beam at Fermilab. The experiment will address the low energy excess observed by the MiniBooNE experiment, measure low energy neutrino cross sections, and serve as the necessary next step in a phased program towards massive Liquid Argon TPC detectors.
Heaven knows those guys are too busy to call. My god, have you ever lost a quark and had to go after it? Leaves no time for fun and games....
So, I give up. I dunno who calls. Will have to wait and see who calls tomorrow. ;o)

Knights Templar ’Heirs’ Sue Pope For Billions
Category: News and Politics
Holy smoke....I don't know if they will be successful, but it will shine some light into dark places. Perhaps the descendants of the Cathar's, those of the Iguana, the Condor, and the Eagle, etc., etc., who suffered great genocide and loss of culture and homeland will now be able to follow the footsteps laid down here and seek correction. Prairy
---------------------------------------------------------------------
All Things Considered, August 17, 2008 · A group of people claiming to be the heirs of the legendary Knights Templar are suing Pope Benedict XVI, seeking more than $150 billion for assets seized by the Catholic Church seven centuries ago.
They also want to restore the order's good name. Founded in 1119, the Knights Templar was a secretive order of Christian warriors who protected pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem during the Crusades. They fell out of favor years later, and members were accused of denying Christ, worshipping the devil and practicing sodomy. Many Templars were tortured and burned at the stake.
In 1307, Pope Clement V accused the order of heresy and officially dissolved it.
Fiona Govan, who wrote about the lawsuit for London's Daily Telegraph, tells host Andrea Seabrook the order is believed to have gone underground and continued to practice, but that there is no firm, historical evidence to support it.
Last fall, the Vatican published secret documents about the trial of the Templars in a book called Processus Contra Templarios, Latin for "Trial Against the Templars." The volume included a parchment apparently showing that, contrary to historic belief, Clement had absolved the order of heresy.
Now, a group called the Association of the Sovereign Order of the Temple of Christ has filed suit in a Spanish court, asking for an apology from the pope and recognition that land and property worth about $150 billion today was seized from the Templars.
The Vatican will never reimburse the group, Govan says, because its members cannot prove that they are descendants of the Knights Templar.
She calls the claim "ludicrous" and says Spanish papers have suggested the issue is something for psychiatrists to decide rather than historians.

A Declaration of Affirmation of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868
Category: News and Politics
A Declaration of Affirmation of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868
with Recommendations to the United States of America
We affirm that the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 was enacted in 1868 as an international agreement between the Sioux: Brule, Oglala, Miniconjou, Yanktonai, Hunkpapa, Blackfeet, Cuthead, Two Kettle, Sans Arcs, and Santee, and Arapaho and the United States of America.
We affirm that the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 was enacted and ratified by the Congress of the United States of America under Article VI (2) of the Constitution of the United States which states:
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereon; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
We affirm that the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 was further protected by United States federal law, Statutes at Large, 16:566, the March 3rd Act of 1871 which states: "Provided, further, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to invalidate or impair the obligation of any treaty heretofore lawfully made and ratified with any such Indian nation or tribe…"
We affirm that the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 was not a treaty of land cession but was a treaty of peace, and that no land within the Treaty Territory as delineated within the 1868 Treaty and stated in Article 2: "…commencing on the east bank of the Missouri River where the forty-sixth parallel of north latitude crosses the same, thence along low water mark down said east bank to a point opposite where the northern line of the State of Nebraska strikes the river, thence west across said river, and along the northern line of Nebraska to the one hundred and fourth degree of longitude west from Greenwich, thence north on said meridian to a point where the forty-sixth parallel of north latitude intercepts the same, thence due east along said parallel to the place of beginning;…" has ever been ceded to the United States or any other government.
We affirm that the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 also did not cede any water, forests, minerals, air, animals, or other 'natural resources' to the government of the United States of America or any other government.
We affirm that the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 did not give to the United States of America the unilateral authority to make any laws regarding any aspect of the Indian tribes so named.
We affirm that the land, water, forests, minerals, air, animals and all other 'natural resources' within the boundaries of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 according to Article 2, were and are "set apart for the absolute and undisturbed use and occupation of the Indians herein named…"
We affirm that any use, abuse, sale, or exchange of the land, water, forests, minerals, air, animals or other 'natural resources' within the confines of the territory as delineated in the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 is illegal, trespass, and theft.
We affirm that the environment of the 1868 Treaty Territory has been almost completely destroyed under the illegal occupation of the United States of America.
We strongly recommend that the United States begin an awareness process to educate all of the people living in the American states of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska that they are illegally trespassing within the confines of the 1868 Treaty Territory.
We strongly recommend that the United States begin a process to compensate their citizens for any losses they sustain as a consequence of their believing they were able to live legally within the confines of the Treaty Territory, and also to provide assistance to relocate said citizens to other places.
We strongly recommend that the United States develop a plan for the return of the 1868 Treaty Territory to the Indian tribes so named, and that such plan shall also include compensation for the repair of all environmental damage including damage to the land, water, forests, minerals, air, animals or other 'natural resources.'
We strongly recommend that the United States develop a plan with enough appropriations for the repair of the societal structures of the Indians named for a period of at least 10 years.
We strongly recommend that the United States cease blocking the Great Sioux Nation and other Indigenous nations of the North American continent from participation at the same level as other Nation-States in the United Nations and other International Fora by the practice of the United States of declaring that such Indigenous nations are domestic nations when in reality the United States is illegally occupying Treaty territories and destroying the economies of once independent Indigenous nations.
CERTIFICATION
This Declaration was duly discussed and consensus reached at the 140th Anniversary of the signing of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 at Mni Luzahan within the confines of the Great Sioux Reservation on April 12, 2008.
Attest:
Charmaine White Face, Spokesperson
