YOU MAY REMEMBER that not too long ago I put together a short vid called "Strange Winters" for my MTV gig. The premise was simply a comment on the unusual weather patterns visiting the area I live in now, West Oregon and specifically, the Eugene area. The day before...

A Community Garden [Let's Have Nexus 6]

AND THE ANSWER for the human race and our oldest friend, the Planet Earth, is the re-centering the collective emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health of human beings—no, we must take it further, to plant/environmental and animal (including human) health rather than this gross heirarchical defect that takes the...

Tear Down the Wall

Categorized under Derechos Humanos , Signs of the Sixth Sun | Tags: , , , , ,


I WONDER sometimes if we (the human race) will ever live to evolve to a point (and yes it's "evolve" in my way of seeing things, hello, my blog, blog meet readers) where we look back on all the futile walls we tried to use to keep some people hungry...

AND MAKE IT CLEAR that they don't have beef with the citizens of the USA, but with the government, itself. And that they are not only withdrawing from the treaties and reclaiming sovereignty, but also initiating actions to reclaim the land. Following up on this amazing happening posted on...

Lakota Secede from United States of America

Categorized under Indígena , Signs of the Sixth Sun | Tags: , , ,


I GUESS THIS MEANS the Presidential Candidates don't need to do quite as much campaigning in the Northern plains area of the US? The Lakota Indians, who gave the world legendary warriors Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, have withdrawn from treaties with the United States, leaders said Wednesday. "We...

The Unnamed War Unfolding Around Us

Categorized under Signs of the Sixth Sun | Tags: , , , ,


RECENTLY I posted on YouTube's yanking of a vlogger's account due to the torture practices he was exposing that are perpetrated by Egyptian police. I was definitely disappointed in YouTube, although I sort of expect any large corporate entity to ultimately suppress free speech, because inevitably, free speech involves...

THE BLEATING of the White Power Structure as it realizes it is not Empire Eternal, after all, but only a temporary glitch in the natural order of things.

A FANTASTIC speech by Rep. José Serrano (D) NY on government, trends in Latin America, Hugo Chavez, oil, Cuba, America and the Brown™: They’ve tried it all in Latin America. They tried military dictatorships. The people didn’t try it. They were the victims of it, and it didn’t work. Then...

A COUPLE COMMENTERS who, ayer, visited the House of Nez on their way home from bloghomie Glenn Greenwald's jernt seemed a bit upset that I push back against the Bomb-Iran media blitz. I am reminded that Iran is a "repressive" and cruel nation. They insistently speak of persecution and violence...

The Coming Battle [Let's Have Nexus V]

Categorized under Corazón , Signs of the Sixth Sun , Violencia | Tags: , , , ,


THE GHOSTS STIR. The symbols of hate and division and dominance appear more and more. Do we see dismiss the single incidents one by one? Deal with each symptom to our satisfaction? Or do we sit back and note the larger mass, the overall pattern taking shape? CNN reported on...

THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN keeping up with the whole Ken Burns saga have watched a long series of events play out. From being excluded from any kind of representation in a war that many Latinos died in, to hearing it rationalized as "we wanted a universal appeal" (paraphrasing, but...

What Does Bravery Look Like?

Categorized under Signs of the Sixth Sun , Violencia | Tags: , ,


IT LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE THIS: A clampdown on the media by Burma's military government, which has banned gatherings of five people or more and imposed a night-time curfew, makes following the exact course of the protests difficult. It is known that several thousand monks and opposition activists moved away...

Happy Slaves Are Building Fences

The case of Elvira Arellano is symptomatic of the kinds of obstacles we face when trying to enforce immigration laws in the United States. Like other "essays" clinging to the web like lichen these days, this particular ugly growth waves a reasonable cluster of verbiage your way, an introductory phrase...

Categorized under Signs of the Sixth Sun | Tags: , , ,


Oaxaca, 20 July 2007 - George Salzman writes: The struggle between the popular movement of rebellion and the government’s actions to totally crush it is at a critical point.

I SHOW YOU, NOW, one of the most original, and heartfelt posts I've seen from el otro lado—that is, the other side of the white-brown thing—that talks about the White Lens, or the Haunted Land—or other things I've framed and named for my own landscape, but that we all...

Cusp

THERE IS MUCH TALK, whispering in the wind, fables unfolding, legends colliding; hints of a big change coming for us all. El Sexto Sol is one, the Rapture is another, Global Warming change is another, as is the The New American Century—I am not endorsing any of these in...

Black and Brown. Together. Then, and now.

LET THE BROWN AND THE BLACK come together in solidarity. Let us not be torn apart by those who would pit us against each other in order to maintain the dominant power structure. It is a trick, and a lie, and if we feed into it, we oppress each...

Greedom on the March

POTENTIAL PRESIDENTS are discussed like well-produced flicks making the circuit and the appraisal of their smashing box-office numbers leaves me just as cold. As with many other facts that aggravate my spirit, I am often told these realities are nothing to be overly-excited or angry about. This defaulted drool...

I GREW UP READING SCIENCE-FICTION, among other genres. I was heavy for a while into Fantasy and Sci-Fi. In that time, I read Clarke, Bradbury, Asimov, LeGuin, Heinlen, many others. In my youth there were films, here and there, about a strange future. A future in which a hostile government...
