Diversity Is The Long Game
According to the 2016 Census*, there remain only 1.6 million Indigenous survivors of Canada’s dark history of colonial oppression and genocide.

New study shows mask-wearing children at risk for ‘unacceptable’ CO2 levels, cautions against the practice
[image: undefined] We've spent over a year debating nonexistent evidence that masks effectively protect against the spread of viruses. However, there has been little debate and few published studies on potential harms of mask-wearing, a reality that has allowed zealous maskers to aggressively push their mandate as harmless, with no downside. Well, now we have a randomized controlled trial published in JAMA that raises serious concerns about this practice. Researchers from Germany conducted a blinded randomized controlled trial of 45 children wearing masks and measured the baseline ... read more

Horn of Africa — Washington’s Next Arab Spring?
The Biden State Department has just named career diplomat Jeffrey Feltman to be Special Envoy to the Horn of Africa. Given the geopolitical powder keg in the region and given the dark history of Feltman, especially in Lebanon and during the infamous CIA Arab Spring interventions after 2009, the relevant question is whether Washington has decided to explode the entire region from Ethiopia down to Egypt into a repeat of the Syria chaos only far more dangerous.

He feigned outrage at accusations the military was becoming “woke.” His cavalier response showed that at best he’s ignorant, and at worst he doesn’t care.

*Warfare History Network* *Security, Asia* The Battle of Iwo Jima has rightfully gone down in history as a turning point in the war. *Key Point: *No foreign army in the 5,000-year history of Japan had ever successfully conquered Japanese territory. In late 1944, American war planners were about to challenge that statistic on the tiny Pacific island of Iwo Jima.

"Stumbling Toward Reality"
*"Stumbling Toward Reality"* by Jim Kunstler "Dr. Anthony Fauci, who answers to the title “The Science” in certain circles, said this week that there are going to be two Americas, the vaxed and the unvaxed. Earth to Fr. Fauci: we are already two Americas: the reality-onboard and the reality-optional. One reality is that vaccines developed at “warp speed” appear to have gnarly side-effects that can outweigh the risk of the disease they’re engineered to protect against. Another reality is that the Delta variant of SARS-Covid-19 is more contagious, but also weaker, less likely to resu... read more
Why do I get the feeling they're getting desperate?
We've heard a great deal about the new "Delta variant" of COVID-19, which is being hyped around the world as a major threat. It's said to infect even people who've been vaccinated, and has even led some areas to reimpose mandatory masking and other precautions. Trouble is, the symptoms of the Delta variant are indistinguishable from plain, ordinary, seasonal hay fever. The fact that the Delta variant was identified *precisely during hay fever season in the northern hemisphere* makes me suspicious, to put it mildly. Is it possible that the powers that be, desperate to hold on... read more

The Pueblo of Zuni would be remiss in this context to remain silent on the recent legal position taken by the Biden-Harris Administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding Chi'chil Bildagoteel (i.e., Oak Flat) and the Resolution Copper mine in Arizona. The Administration's stated position is unfortunate and extremely troubling, as it is in fact little more than a continuation of a policy of containment and erasure of Native peoples that directly contradicts in substance, content, and spirit the Administration's own E.O. 13985. This position is a reinforcement and reproduction... read more
