Sorry! I said the comments were open to everyone but evidently clicked the wrong thing when I was sending, fixed it now.

thanks for the video, lots of nuggets amid the ramble. trudel says that the ruling class owns whatever the local ideology is. no doubt. "which vampire is the best?"

"we cooperated with them even when we rebelled"

so he says we have to base future resistance strategies on non-cooperation. valid point, etienne de la boetie agreed

just like the sticker says: your compliance is only prolonging the agony

John Trudell's wife...

"On February 12, 1979, Manning perished along with her unborn baby Josiah Hawk, three other children; Ricarda Star, Sunshine Karma, and Eli Changing Sun, and her mother, in a house fire on the Duck Valley Reservation. Her father was the only survivor. The cause of the fire was never determined, but it was considered suspicious and deemed probable arson by John Trudell and others, as it took place the day after Trudell led a protest against the FBI in Washington, D.C."

Tessa. Thank you for sharing this John Trudell video. I agree with your appreciation of it. I wasn't familiar with John Trudell. Felt like a concerned old friend speaking to me. Very uplifting.

Wow. I love this John Trudell talk. Incredible. It reminds me of how each time I hear "AI" as if it's going to help or solve or "scale" "solutions", I imagine what could be possible if *actual* intelligence was meant instead of the other AI.

Too many powerful thoughts to quote here. Thank you for lifting this up.

Wow! Just wow... Trudell was on my periphery but now he's front and center. What an incredible speech! He goes right to the heart of it all... to the core... I would love a transcript if you know of one. Thank you, Tessa!!!

Thank you Tessa for sharing powerful, thought changing people like John Trudell. He quickly takes us away from all our current worries and mind ramblings, to a place where we can contemplate a grander scenario and walk with our spirit. I definitely feel much lighter after listening.

I highly recommend the documentary “Trudell” if anyone wants to learn more about this man. He was a true spiritual warrior and brave human.
