The "Freedom Movement", the "winds of change" and The Republic of Lakotah. by Hickory Hendrickson

Many is the lad and many the lass who have made comment to their lack of understanding in regard to my rambling reports on the "Freedom Movement" that calls its-self the Republic of Lakotah. Brothers and sisters of the resistance hear my cry, feel my pain, be there with me when we triumph over the oppressors. To all those who love freedom I say, walk with us yet a little longer. The spirit of Freedom is strong......very strong. We will not fail! We can not fail!
As I draw closer to the center of the vortex, that this movement has become, the winds of change and power toss me hither and yon. They pull my "being" from within me and expose it for all to see. The vortex sucks me screaming over the edge yet I walk on the uplifting winds of the movement and the spirit of life and humanity and creation. The myth of the "calm in the eye of the storm" is just that, a myth. From the center I can see the true power of the storm and I am in awe. Nothing is calm, nothing is solid, nothing feels real, the vortex of change holds to many secrets for one man's simple mind to comprehend or grasp with true-understanding.
We need your help brothers and sisters of freedom. We need your unique understanding to complement our own. We can not walk alone and neither will you. The resistance is strong and it's numbers are many. We will have help! The road we travel is full of trials, tribulations, deadly pit-falls, and sinister traps to capture the un-aware or the un-awake . It's also a road covered by the asphalt of peace, hope and freedom. It's chasms are spanned by the bridges of fellowship with like minded individuals and it's surface is painted by the exchange of inspired ideas.
Will you walk with us? Will you stand at the helm of the cause with your face to the winds of change and your back turned towards a corrupt establishment? Will you help us share freedom with the world? Our cause comes at a price, our names are now recorded in the system-logs of the machine. Are you afraid? Will you let fear be your master?
The people are angry and their anger is a righteous one. Even the greatest of nations must one day fall to it's knees and ask forgiveness from those whom they have harmed.
Very soon I will write another chapter in this journal of freedom and share it with you. New things are on their way. The wind of change will not let our cause rest. Very soon the centers of corruption will shake on their mighty thrones and we will be given the opportunity to be the fulcrum for a giant lever which will bring them all crashing down. The lever of which I speak is called for now......the Freedom Movement.
Be ready for a new burst of information from the Republic. Genocide is an ugly word. Even Russia doesn't like it! Will the Petition for Recognition succeed? Understanding will come with time....I promise.

Me, I'm all for Lakotah, Indigenous Sovereignty. When I think of "us" and "we" I think of the Oyate. Those who Sundance and Vision Quest. When I think of "them", I think of the christian missionaries acoming to help us, to fix us...oh oh, here they come! Instead of jesus on a cross they got ronpaul on a blimp!
Thanks for sharing your heart. I sense that those of us who are in the Ron Paul Freedom movement feel very much the same--and I am going to send your heartfelt sharing to hundreds of people so that they can gain strength from your courage.
I will be keeping you and the Republic of Lokota in my heartfelt prayers.
Thank you sister, freedom lives! I'm glad we see things the same way. To me Ron Paul Freedom movement or Lakotah Freedom movement it's all the same. We all dream of Freedom and fear must not stand in our way!
Because people love pscyhopathtic tendancies right? ummmm yeah.
Why not ask russell means to save you? Even in the latest Black Hills Pioneer he stated this is the last chance his people have. He's tried putting himself as the savior of the people. Fact is, like has been said many times before, without the elders approval (for political and legal reasons), which is unlikely to come, then NO COUNTRY, will willfully support this movement. They might pat you on the back and wish you well, but thats about it. Because unlike what some want to think or admit, this supposedly new nation still doesn't exist and is still a legal part of the United States. It still must uphold the laws of the U.S..
Freedom is a perception. Many people in Iraq thought they were free before the U.S. invasion. Many people in Germany thought they were free under Hitler. Many people in China think they are free. And so on. There is no guarantee this idea some are spouting off about freedom in this new republic is actually an ideal freedom. Especially since they keep flip flopping things in regards to it.
Until the elders get behind this, this is nothing more than a typical attempt at some people trying to use their own ideals and beliefs to persue their own interests. It's no different than any other sort of cult like activity. "Follow us! Our way is better!".
Get this legalized, lay out a floorplan and stick to it, and we'll see where things go. Until then, it's just a bunch of people with no direction all knowing they want to go somewhere, but all have their own ideals and beliefs they want to instill on others. No matter how short sighted or unrealistic they are.
When the Lakota wiped out the tribes that inhabited the Plains and Black Hills, did they give those tribes a choice? Obviously not much of a good one. And until the Lakota try getting their land back in MN that the Chippewa kicked them off of, this is all just a running joke.
Protestor: "The white man stole our lands! We have treaties! They made promises and haven't upheld them!"
Average Joe: "Did you uphold any of your treaties or promises to the tribes your people wiped out about 100 years before the appearance of the white man? Obviously not. You killed them, lusting after their game and land, stole it outright. THEN claimed it as yours and your religious right. How does what the white man did make it any better than what you did to the previous tribes? It doesn't. It's making you look like a hypocrite."
History is a dangerous tool. It's no coincidence that they don't want people bringing up that part of the past. The land they are claiming as theirs was never theirs to begin with. Unless you consider stealing it and killing those on it to claim it as your religious right is considered honorable.

ron paul. lol loved him as the dimwitted, yet lovable "coach" on Cheers. I just want to pick him up and look him in the eyes and say "thanks, from a grateful nation", and then give him a little hug, so as not to break a hip on him.
