The
United States is one big reservation, and we are all in it. So says
Russell Means, legendary actor, political activist and leader for the
American Indian Movement. Means led the 1972 seizure of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs headquarters in Washington, D.C., and in 1973 led a
standoff at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian
Reservation, a response to the massacre of at least 150 Lakotah men,
women, and children by the U.S. Seventh Cavalry at a camp near Wounded
Knee Creek.
American Indian Russell Means gives an eye-opening 90
minute interview in which he explains how Native Americans and
Americans in general are all imprisoned within one huge reservation.
Means is a leader for the Republic of Lakotah, a movement that has
declared its independence from the United States and refused to
recognize the authority of presidents or governments, withdrawing from
treaties it made with the federal government and defining its borders
which cover thousands of square miles in North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska, Wyoming, and Montana.
Means explains how American
Indians have been enslaved within de facto prisoner of war camps as a
result of the federal government's restriction of their food supply and
the application of colonial tactics, a process that has now also been
inflicted on the United States as a whole which has turned into, "one
huge Indian reservation," according to Means.
Means warns that
Americans have lost the ability of critical though, and with each
successive generation become more irresponsible and as a consequence
less free, disregarding a near-perfect document, the Constitution, which
was derived from Indian law. Means chronicles the loss of freedom from
the 1840′s onwards, which marked the birth of the corporation, to
Lincoln's declaration of martial law, to the latter part of the 19th
century and into the 20th when Congress "started giving banks the right
to rule," and private banking interests began printing the money.
"The
history of the American and the history of the Indian have now come
full circle and are intertwined in the dictatorial policies of those
that control the monetary system of America," remarks Means, pointing
out that the elite are now so out of control that they are destroying
themselves as well as the country.
"You've exported everything
that makes a country run, for your greed, for Wal-Marts, for this idiocy
of just buy, buy, buy and debt, debt, debt," states Means, slamming
apathetic Americans for allowing the Republic to be commandeered by two
political parties who are almost identical. Means says Americans have
lost their culture and dispensed with their values as a result, with
families being broken up as a result of the de-industrialization of the
country, allowing the nation to be subject to mob rule.
Means
explains how the patriarchal pyramid structure of power is designed to
prevent itself from ever being changed, which is why he urges Americans
to "go local," uniting families and communities and preventing people
from being divided and conquered by building co-operative structures
from the grass roots level on a model similar to that used by the
Quakers. "It doesn't mean uniformity, it doesn't mean socialism,"
explains Means, pointing out that such a system is built around common
goals and unanimous outcomes.
