With the HOPE Conference on Healing from Child Sexual Trauma just around the corner in Billings, Montana, we hope you’ll read further into the history of this monster legacy to determine why we do what we do and more importantly how we are to heal from it. See info on the HOPE conf. at end of column.
Thanks to Ruth Hopkins for this column.

Pre-mediated Cultural Genocide by Mental, Physical, and Sexual Abuse. We’re on the long road to healing. Let’s Rise Everyday.
What do we do? Our very future is at risk, hanging in the balance, hanging by a rope, literally, metaphorically. What do we do? In the work I do, as a pediatrician, an adolescent medicine specialist, I see so many youth who have already been traumatized, by the age of 13 years old. They have seen too much, been through too much, and why?

Reuters reports Mining Industry impacted by IdleNoMore, now German Research Institute pulls out of Canadian Tarsands project. Blihiciyapo Mitakuyepu: INM, Tarsands blockade, DGR, NYM, Owe Aku, Honor Earth, RedLakeBlockade, 350.org, Occupy! And every human that wants a better world. Those in control rely on our fear and state of misinformation. Life as a carbon consumer slave is no life at all. Can you hear that? It is the sound of their world crumbling.

“In African studies, historically and currently, the creation, constitution and production of knowledge remains a privilege of the West. […] The fact that Western Women were the researchers studying other women was seen as proof in itself that they were better off in their own situation, this was evidenced by their new-found position as creators of knowledge. This “positional superiority,”put them in a powerful position […]. Western feminists did not explain their privileged status, however, in terms of their race and the internationalization of a Western-originated capitalist system; they took for granted that it was a result of how far they had progressed as women in their own society. What white women did not realize was that if they were motivated by women’s subordination in their own society to study “Other” women, it was their economic and racial dominance in the global system that made it possible. The idea that the West could learn about itself and hence that feminists could find themselves in Africa was not a new one. Ranging from the explorers who used their (mis)adventures in Africa to text their manhood, through the Christian missionaries proselytizing for the sake of their own salvation, to the feminists in search of themselves, Africa represented a mirror to the Westerners in which they perceived themselves. [..] At a certain level, cross-cultural research was primarily a narcissistic undertaking.”

Because hacking a meager website is apparently worse than rape or murder. Guess I’m screwed
