This just makes me cry.  WTH?  Seriously, what is WRONG with you?  What threat does this older gentleman pose to you…does his drumming for connection to God threaten you?

Perhaps you should ask yourself why you feel threatened by someone connecting with God??

You are allowing satan to guide your thinking…or as the Native legend, coyote is guiding your thinking.  Coyote = bad ways.

I pray you ask God for guidance, for information you need to see who is evil and who is not.

God Bless the elder who bravely continued during a near riot.

**UPDATE 1.21.19–

I found it hard to get to sleep last night thinking about this.  It made me angry on so many spiritual levels — wanting justice, wanting to be able to pray to the Creator as we choose, wanting truth, wanting peace.

I thought about what has been happening to me as I grew spiritually and began to go my own path and the backlash I have experienced:

Nails in my tires by the woman next door to me in Spearfish, S.D., because she didn’t like the buffalo in my car, my composting, and when I got tired of her looking in my apartment and car windows, asking her to stop parking in my spot.

This woman harassed me every single day with making banging noises throughout the night until I finally left an apartment that I had every right to live in.  And even though she admitted she put the nails in front of my tires, all charges were dropped.

And when I left, she and, I believe her friend the landlord’s secretary, went in and trashed my apartment so that I would not get a good recommendation for another place to live!

This in addition to what I witnessed at Standing Rock.  The media was highly slanted the story to make it appear that we were violent.  It was stressed over and over again by the camp elders that anyone caught with weapons, booze, or drugs would be asked to leave.  We were a prayer camp– violence was not condoned– the elders even got after the ones playing loud music in the middle of the night.

There are some who say that healing took place there…an aside to the battle for clean water and for sacred spaces.  It was beautiful.  More on Standing Rock and what I have learned in recent days below.

So I looked at a couple more media sites regarding this report, and here’s what I found–

CBSN, on youtube, immediately jumped to the defense of the Catholic man smirking in the face of the drumming elder.  It did not show the students making the tomahawk arm bend nor any of the other mocking gestures as the elder drummed.  The elder, Nathan Phillips, was interviewed by CBS, and typical of the Native folk, he did not want to go against the reporter.  He did, however, say that he tried to move to the right, and the student, Nick Sandmann, moved in front of him.  Phillips then moved to the left, and Sandmann moved in front of him.  He would not let him move away from them.  He was surrounded.

I’m not going to put the interview here, but you can find it on youtube for your own viewing and conclusions.

The reporter starts off by saying that “we have more info to provide more context….”

What he means is “we’re going to edit the story so that your thinking is directed another way…because you might see the truth with your own eyes and we want to make sure that you don’t trust your own judgment…”

The reporter emphasizes that Phillips, the elder, inserted himself in between the white Catholics and the Black Israelites.  He was trying to pray to diffuse the situation!!  But the reporter was insinuating that he was trying to start trouble!

Next, Phillips tells the reporter that Sandmann left and came back with twice as many students.

Again, I am in awe of Phillips continuing to drum and pray through this.  He just wanted to be left alone to pray in his own way.

The media is not able to distort the story this time because it is right there in front of our faces.

The second media report was from Washington Post.  It was a good report that at least tried to appear to be journalism, that is, reporting all sides of an issue and letting people make up their own minds.

It starts off by allowing Native Nathan Phillips make a statement as to what happened — the Black Israelites were crowding them in their allotted *free speech* space.  But he said nothing to them.  He makes a profound statement that they said they were the chosen ones by God and they reminded Phillips of the Westboro Baptist Church — you know, those pretend Christians who protest funerals for gay people. Two sides of a coin one might say.

The report goes on with Phillips continuing to drum while Sandmann blocks his moves to exit.  He clearly has a smirk on his face as his classmates goaded him on.  He was not smiling to diffuse the situation as he claims.

Sandmann and his family are now claiming to receive death threats.  Really?  In the era of cell phones with numbers clearly visible, how about showing some proof of those threats?  I’m just not buying it.  Playing the victim is a mark of the narcissist personality when they have been called on their behavior.

I found this powerful video featuring Nate Phillips — a Vietnam veteran with a history of the Catholic school brutality so facing a Catholic boy was probably even more traumatic.

ON STANDING ROCK —

So I had read about the mercenary group, TigerSwan, being hired by the oil company.  I read about it on the supposedly truth-telling media site The Intercept. But the Intercept forgot to mention something important…more on that below.   And they did reveal letters and such by TigerSwan where we water protectors were portrayed as terrorists (!).  I still can’t get over that — how is prayer considered a terrorist act??

Anyway, TigerSwan had infiltrated the water protectors.  One such group in camp, the Red Warrior Camp, was edgy and the elders had asked them to leave at one time, then allowed them to come back with clear perimeters of what was expected.  There would be no violence.  Period.

So it appears that one of the infiltrators, Joel McCullough, was busy supplying pot, booze, hotel rooms, money for bills, and so on, to gain protectors’ trust and lower their defenses.

As stated in the article,

By that December at Standing Rock, “Literally everyone was suspicious of everyone,” Mendoza said. “It was infuriating and debilitating for the movement — it really was. I hate to admit that, because it’s almost an admission of defeat that their tactics are so good that it worked, but no one trusted anyone — family members, people that grew up together, people that had been together since day one.”

I was standing in the food line, just behind Ryan Red Hawk, who looked all cool and pretended to be one of the protectors, but he was in fact an operative.

He is in the video below with his face covered:

 

 

This whole thing was a psy-op.  All constructed.

Red Hawk had stated that his best buddy was a black ops personnel.  I have a strong feeling this so-called pipeline security employee was his buddy…probably working for TigerSwan.

Red Hawk did a good job of appearing sympathetic and wanting the protectors to succeed, but it was revealed to me in a vision a few months afterwards that he was an operative.  In the vision, he was at a table with a military man in fatigues, with two men in black on either side of the military man.  Red Hawk was reading from a notebook to them. I imagine it was a report on myself and the other water protectors.  He had them all fooled.  I had another vision after posting about him that the Natives took care of him.  He was amused at the whole thing — like it was some big joke.

I also saw Red Hawk at the gathering of 400 people at Spearfish who objected to the land grab.

So the newest in the saga of Standing Rock was another discovery…

TigerSwan is based in….are you sitting down…Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.  Yep.  So much for American defense contractors.  When do we start calling this treason?  And who would poison their own water supply?  Nobody in their right minds would!
