Native children are taken from their parents at a higher rate than any other demographic of child in the USA. A recent decision from a Texas court has given non-indigenous people increased access to native children.
The system is now fully committed to removing indigenous children from their communities and their culture. This has been ongoing for hundreds of years. From the Spaniards dashing the heads of babies against rocks, to the pilgrims cutting babies from their mother’s bellies European-americans have had a long history of killing the indian.In Trump’s USA the war against the indigenous people of our Turtle Island has been kicked into high gear with the zero tolerance policy being enforced along the border by the Department of Homeland Security under the auspice of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The people being incarcerated are often non-spanish speaking indigenous people from central american nations. These third world people are often fleeing drug wars and cartels in an attempt at survival. They would be considered refugees by the United Nation, but the fascists running the U.S. government right now classify the people as criminals.The fact that indigenous people are being killed in central and south america by cartels funded by the U.S. CIA to bring drugs into the USA is not lost on those of us who keep our antenna up. We see who has been funneling money into these countries and how that money has funded land grabs. We see who has been training militants to facilitate the ongoing “drug war” in central and south america. The fact that the mainstream media fails to mention the facts which relate to the drug wars in the countries south of our border lets you know who these media companies serve. Reporting on money laundering for drug kingpins by banks like HSBC and CITI are few and far between, after all these media outlets don’t want to alienate their advertisers.
Interestingly the same banks which are funneling drug money through their systems are also the banks which invest in private prison companies like Core Civics and Geo Group.
Specifically the Vanguard Group and the Blackstone group. These massive wealth management companies have doubled down on their investment in the future of incarceration. Not only are they funding incarceration for nonviolent crimes, they are also increasing funding to lawmakers which are susceptible to bribery through groups like ALEC and the DNC. Massive non-profits which are allegedly nonpartisan create laws and legislation which not only increases prison populations, but which prevent individuals from effectively organizing resistance.The public seems largely apathetic in the face of fascism on the rise in the USA. We see only a small number of people joining up with the anti-fascists, and many willing to stand by while the alt-right actually murders people.
Among those apathetic towards rising fascism are the prosecutors of the USA. They seem unwilling to bring charges against the fascists who are carrying out ethnic cleansing in the name of patriotism. There are Nazis marching in the streets, and the police are more concerned with protecting the Nazis than the fact that these fascists openly call for murder of reporters and activists.Imagine how quickly the prosecutors and police would react if anti-fascists were calling for the murder of reporters or activists. Imagine how all of the doors kicked in at 4am so that people could be disappeared into black sites to be tortured. Imagine it, because this is our immediate future.
Section 1021 of the NDAA which is renewed each year gives government the right to indefinitely detain suspects, citizens of the USA without ever bringing charges or allowing the suspects access to lawyers or phone calls.
This section was specifically fought by reporters in 2012. They filed suit against the Obama administration for writing a law which would have a potential chilling effect on journalism. Chris Hedges along with other journalists had seen similar legislation used in foreign countries as a forerunner to fascism. They knew the direction this law would push the country and made a legal stand for the rights of the people.Now with the supreme court striking down the law which prevented white families from stealing native children and robbing them of their culture, language and heritage there will doubtless be a rush on behalf of the the so called white saviors who want to pray the savage out of the child and help them to assimilate to the “american way” of life.
Bare in mind that native children raised by white families are often victims of abuse by their foster families. Not only physical abuse, but mental abuse which teaches the children to hate themselves for their identity as natives. It is a sickening thing to see the rights of the indigenous people stripped from them. Institutions like Child Protective Services have often cast traditional lifestyles and spiritual ways of native people as being savage, and endangering the child. This has led to a tactic of white parents stripping half native children of their heritage and ancestry. The native child being raised in a white family is taught that they are not as good as the white children. I have seen this with my own eyes, the parents treat the indigenous child as less than. It’s truly sickening to see indigenous children in the care of white parents, not because white parents are bad, but because native children are taught self loathing by parents who treat the native family as less than. Often, very often, the judicial branch plays a role in reinforcing white supremacy in Child Protective Services.The role the judicial branch played in the past was so evident that a law was written specifically to protect the rights of native parents and children to have access to their own culture and language. This law which once kept native children safe from non-indigenous values was recently struck down. Now native children can be placed in white families.
The genocide of native peoples is in it’s final stages in the USA, and the responsibility is largely in the laps of institutions of finance. Banksters fund legislation, banksters fund prisons, banksters fund schools. If anything is to be accomplished in this so called land of the free it has to be approved by a bank.
I am making a direct call for action. Divest from banks which fund the oppression of indigenous peoples. Remove your finance from institutions which buy and sell politicians. All genuinely caring people have an obligation to remove their funds from banks which directly fund oppression and disenfranchisement.Thanks for reading this far!
