Silent US Genocide against the "Heart of the World: Kogi Indians"

Dear DUers,
My head is EXPLODING!
I am so outraged right now at what I have just
learned about what has been done to the
beautiful Kogi tribe of South America by the
MURDEROUS thugs controlling our country.

Let me explain:
In the early 90's I saw a documentary called
"From the Heart of the World: A Message from the Elder Brothers"

It haunted me for years- a BBC employee made the film.
I saw it once and could not stop thinking about it for years.
I finally tracked it down, thanks to the net, and corresponded
briefly with the man who made the documentary and discovered
that I could get a copy.

In short, the message from the Elder Brothers, as the
Kogi refer to themselves, was based in CENTURIES of
spiritual teaching regarding a mountain which they believe is the
heart of the world- the message? When the mountain began to
die, so would the world. HELLO? Global warming has fulfilled
this warning.

Well, I just went to the Foundation trust site for the Kogi and
found this: An Open Letter to the President of the United States:
PLEASE READ IT AND FULLY COMPREHEND WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
http://www.taironatrust.org/

Like I said, knowing what little I do know about the Kogi,
one of the last Indigenous peoples to remain as they have
for CENTURIES on the planet, a BEAUTIFUL society living
in complete harmony with the planet, my head is exploding.
The utter EVIL that the Bushites are doing on this planet MUST stop.
NOW.

About the Kogi:
http://www.labyrinthina.com/kogi.htm
"The Kogi know secrets about nature that would make our scientists rethink their ideas on the environment and the universe. They have a presence about them that commands respect. The power of their mind is beyond comprehension. But few people outside of Colombia know who they are and what they represent. Why do they call themselves the Elder Brothers and how can we learn to live in the spiritual world that this lost tribe lives in?


8 years ago I saw an amazing video called "From the Heart of the World, The Elder Brothers Warning." It was about a unique indigenous community that lived in Northern Colombia who say they are keeping the world in balance. I was so impressed with these people because they are still living with the same spiritual values and traditions of their ancestors. But the ecological warning the Kogi shared touched a nerve and made me realize they may be right."

Please consider supporting to the
Tairona Foundation- they will send you a
copy of the documentary and believe me,
it will change your life.

it is so very devastating.

Open Letter to the President of the United States George W. Bush


COLOMBIA
About fumigations in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta


I work for a French NGO , "Tchendukua" whose goal is to recuperate land
for the Kogi Indians living in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in
Colombia.

In 2000 we bought, La Luna, a land, with access to the sea, It was the
first time since the Spanish invasion, the Kogis had a low land. They
where so happy, full of hope.
At the end of June 2004, La Luna became an " Indigenous Reserve" , a
protected area...
The Sierra is also one of the UNESCO's "Biosphere Reserves".
Fifteen days later, on July 17th, a plane from Dyncorp passed only once
to fumigate La Luna. That was enough to provoke a complete disaster.
Some days ago, I saw the rushes of a second movie we have made on the
Kogis.
Now, La Luna is like some places in Asia after the tsunami... I could
not believe it.

The Kogis took five years to regenerate the soil, now they will have to
wait, at least, five more years to replant. Everything is contaminated
and the streams are dry because there are no more trees to retain water.
What are they going to eat? What are they going to drink? Where to go?
Tchendukua's director in Santa Marta organized some time ago with the
Kogis and the farmers around, the eradication of coca by hand. There was
no coca in La Luna.
It is impossible that your sophisticated planes are unable to detect
Indians villages.

In the movie there is a scene with a Kogi shaman sitting in front of his
house, in the middle of the devastation. He is crying.
This image is unbearable and it will remain in my memory forever.
Yes, Mr. Bush, an image can turn people really angry.
Remember the picture of Nick Ut showing a little girl naked, burned by
Napalm, running on a road in Vietnam. This image had an incredible
impact in America.

Condolezza Rice wants Colombia to change its laws and spray in National
Parks such as La Macarena, El Catatumbo, La Sierra Nevada de Santa
Marta, etc...
To achieve that dirty job, a new aerial base for fumigation planes will
be build, $125 million.


The fumigation of La Luna on July 17th 2004 was completely illegal.

In the Sierra, Kogis, Arsarios-Wiwas, Kankuamos and Arhuacos are
starting to have health problems , especially children (see notes-page
14).

In Vietnam, after 45 years, Agent Orange is still active.
The new poisoned cocktail is called Agent Green. If you take the
ingredients one by one, it doesn't seem so dangerous. If you mix them,
highly concentrated, it is a terrible weapon. The mixture is made with
Monsanto Round Up Ultra, Cosmoflux 411F (illegal in the US), POEA and
the fungus fusarium oxysporum EN-4.

Dr David Sands, an American scientist who made some researches on EN-4
admits
( interview with the BBC-2000) that you can call it a Green Warfare or a
Biological Warfare.
When you had a few cases of Anthrax in your country it was immediately
called a terrorist biological attack...

The Dutch government donated 500.000 euros for the eradication of coca
by hand in the Amazonas and the Sierra. A part of this donation is
dedicated for substitution cultures and social development.
The Netherlands asked the parks director, Julia Miranda, to confirm
whether the decision to fumigate on the protected aeras was definitive,
because if it were so, "it could be motive to request the suspension of
activities financed by his Embassy".

Mr. Bush, you and your government, you will be responsible for the
genocide or ethnocide (see notes-page 10)) of the most ancient and
sophisticated precolombian cultures in Colombia.

The proper name for this worthless so-called drugwar is < BIOLOGICAL and
CHEMICAL WARFARE <.

Before writing this, I've asked to a Dr in Molecular Biology if I could
use those words, the answer was yes.

Mr. Bush, will you dare to say that you are doing this "In the Name of
God"?

Where are the courageous American scientists who helped to stop the
fumigations with Agent Orange in Vietnam in 1971?

COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS Sixty-first session Item 15 of the
provisional agenda

INDIGENOUS ISSUES
Human rights and indigenous issues.
Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights and
fundamental freedoms of indigenous people, Mr. Rodolfo Stavenhagen
Addendum MISSION TO COLOMBIA*

Page 10

On the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, an area
visited by the Special Rapporteur, the Kankuamo people (3,000 families,
13,000 people and 12 communities), who live inside the "black line"
which marks the traditional boundary of their territory, are now in the
process of reclaiming their indigenous identity. Their lands have been
recognized, but no reserve has yet been established. Guerrilla groups
started arriving in the 1980s and AUC set up a base there in the 1990s,
with the result that the number of kidnappings and murders escalated to
a level far above the rural and regional average, particularly from 1998
onwards. It was then that the massacres of indigenous people, the mass
displacements, the blockades and the forced confinement of communities
to their villages began. More than 300 families are reportedly still
displaced as a result of attacks and threats of various kinds. The
accounts given to the Special Rapporteur testified to the continued
ethnic!
cleansing, genocide and ethnocide of the Kankuamo people despite the
protective and precautionary measures requested by the Ombudsman and the
Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and several urgent appeals by
a number of special mechanisms of the Commission on Human Rights.

Page 14

Indigenous organizations described to the Special Rapporteur the adverse
effects of indiscriminate spraying, including environmental damage to
the topsoil, fauna, flora and water, the destruction of subsistence
crops and direct damage to human health, including birth defects. The
Special Rapporteur was also told that there are technical and scientific
studies to substantiate these assertions. The indigenous peoples see the
aerial spraying of coca plantations as yet another violation of their
human rights and, save for a few occasions when they have given their
consent, actively oppose the practice; this position again brands them
as guerrilla sympathizers, as happened after the rights marches
organized by certain indigenous communities to protest against the
spraying. The Office of the Ombudsman has received 318 complaints
concerning spraying operations in three municipalities in Putumayo in
July 2002 and their effect on 6,070 families and 5,034 hectares of land.

I have not stopped thinking about it for nearly
15 years now.
It has haunted me, literally.
The Kogi principles are very much like the Hopi,
who also consider their sacred land to be
the Heart of the World- the similarities in their
elder teachings is astonishing when you
consider the fact that neither had any contact
and yet developed very similar "end of time"
teachings.
We are so fucked.
The Kogi believe that they are responsible
for keeping the world safe- and NOW WE ARE KILLING THEM.
GOD DAMN YOU FUCKING BUSHITLERS.
FUCK YOU TO HELL.
BHN

If nothing else, it will encourage
you to consider what is coming
and prepare.
BHN

but I think I had heard of it somewhere.

The Hopi also came to mind when I read this.
Many think the Hopi predicted the atomic bomb in their prophecies. How sadly ironic that the material for the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan came from Hopi land.

ALL indigenous peoples on the planet are under assault today, if they haven't already been crushed.
Just as when a community of elephants is disconnected from the knowledge of their elders because of criminal poaching. Deep knowledge that has been passed on through generations is being lost forever. Like the young elephants the human race is being cut off from it's roots.

But who needs roots when you can buy cheap crap at Walmart?

Humans are the ONLY species on Earth
that actively bring about their own destruction.
Unfortunately, we destroy everything else with ourselves.

The BBC documentary by Alan Ereira is impossible to
find- I know, I searched for years.
It made such an impact on me, that I never stopped
searching- I finally found out how to get a copy
when I found the Tairona Trust web site.
They don't exactly advertise the fact that is available
until you click on the donation link. I think that is
deliberate. I think the documentary was pulled from
circulation due to the TRUTH that is discloses.

I knew it was the TRUTH when I saw it and I think
other people who saw it knew then too.

As we know, the TRUTH is very threatening to
the powers that be.

BHN

if there's a 'silver lining' in all that's going on (i literally can't listen to 'news' anymore) it is that the bushpigs and the neocons and the law'n'order' and the 'burn again' crowd etc have backed the enemy of life itself, in their fury at tolerance and generosity and public spending on the public etc...the poor dupes sorta know that something is hideously wrong, and that each victory of their side aggravates the wrong...hahaha. 'Nothing fails like success when working for the devil' is an apt criticism of rightwing domination of news and politics...unfortunately, too much innocence, too much beauty and too much goodness must be detroyed to get at the evil that bushinc represents. The best anyone can do is clue the mindless punks into the fact there probably is a god, and HE will truly need eternity to punish those who shit in the life nest, again and again and again....
:)

I highly value their wisdom and ways and hoped they would weather the storm they warned us of, but the bastards managed to find a way to poison their small corner of the world. It was an Eden. Was.

:kick:

many years ago. It touched me deeply.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0679406182/002-5543055-9912819?v=glance

I can't really find any words to respond to this shocking and horrible news -- I had hoped that the Kogi remained safe on their sacred mountain. I had no idea... :cry:

I really think this has HUGE implications-
You can contact the film maker you know-
he is quite receptive to correspondence.

Actually, I invited him to join us at DU to inform
our community about the Kogi and what is happening.

I agree with you- the letter brought tears to my eyes.
The Kogi are the most beautiful people on the planet.
We could learn SO much from them.
BHN

I gave it a vote, too.

Alan Ereira seems like a wonderful human being, I'm glad to know he's still hanging in there watching out for the Kogi.

The fact is, the evil people that control the world right now are the enemies of all beauty and light. It's not just the Kogi who are endangered, it's all of humanity.

For the Kogi, for ALL of us, these monsters must somehow be vanquished -- I just don't know if it will happen in time.

ALL the traditional indigenous people of the world know that we are reaching the point of no return. The Lakota wise men say that the day is coming when the earth will "shake man off as dog shakes off fleas".

The Hopi prophecies say that unless humanity turns away from materialism and violence the Fourth World will fall into ruin and darkness. The Hopi, like the Kogi, consider it their sacred duty and trust to preserve their ceremonies in order to maintain balance -- but we have moved so far OUT of balance that our destruction may be inevitable.

I think we have about run out of chances to turn the tide. Bringing down bushco would be a positive move in the right direction -- but how much hope is there of even that?

sw

a Francis Ford Coppola movie worth viewing.....

Thanks BHN for posting this about the Kogi. I had no idea our (deleted) gov't destroyed their beautiful land. Words fail me. My heart is heavy. I am furious and stunned into such an inability to even breathe. I can't believe they would do this and yet I am not at all surprised.

It is clear there are two paths in this world...are there enough on the one to lift the others from leading us down a path of no return, seems to be the recurring question......

the Kogi are an incredible light......I pray they keep shining that light as long as they can....

:hi: scarlet woman...yeah,I feel that we are too far out of balance....when things are tipped out of balance they usually fall, don't they? I just hope the landing is gentle for those who see the truth.

:hug: to all my brothers & sisters on this thread.
DR

prayers & light & whatever else we can do for the Kogi....

This is horrendous beyond description. This is an example of power gone mad. How could this happen. The Kogi are an extraordinary treasure that should be protected.

I'm saddened and sickened by this beyond words.

BHN

Very important.

I'll just make a quick comment, which is related. A little over a decade ago, I took part in the "test case" to put teeth into the Indian Burial Protection and Repatration law. We went to NYS Supreme Court in the Ondaga Nation v NYS OPRHP and DEC. The long story short is that politics and economics won out. A large interest that included construction companies was allowed to mine a "sacred site" and use the "fill" to cover a toxic waste site.

That which is sacred is being destroyed by the unconscious force.

Thank you for posting this.

I think the implications of what is happening
to the Light Workers and sacred sites on the planet is
fairly conclusive as to what the future holds.
Not good, not good at all.
If you have never seen the Kogi documentary,
PM me.
BHN

I have seen it, and believe I still have a copy of it here. It could be at my cousin's. I would look now, but I took a hard fall yesterday, and am limited right now. I think I'm okay from the neck up, though. (grin)

My cousin came up a week or two ago to cut up some trees that had come down. He brought his youngest son, age 14, and his son's best friend. The friend is a nice kid who has been thrown away emotionally by his parents. They are, like most children that age, more interested in video games and sports than the quiet woods. But my cousin e-mailed me two days later, and said now these boys want to come up and learn what a sweat lodge is about.

Maybe that is, on a tiny scale, part of the answer. Yet I know there are thousands of children living in concrete, blacktop, and steel worlds who never get a chance to go into the woods. No wonder their brains work so very differently.

When those two boys sweat, and then go afterwards to the falls to dip in the water -- and the season has created a lush environment there this year, with deep cold water, and giant green plants -- these two boys will have an experience that they will always remember. And it will change the way they relate to the world around them. I think both will be ready to take up he Good Fight.

I'm glad to take part in this thread. I have one that I might put on this weekend, about the concept of The Power of the Good Mind. It includes information on why coalition (actually, "confederacy") politics is so important. I think it will match with this thread.

on that thread.. :-)

yes, a sweat can change somebody, offer a deeper glimpse into one's 'self' and an opportunity to merge with the elements in a non-cerebral way. To offer this gift in a good way to fellow beings is a very gracious and loving thing to do IMO.

Our modern culture also offers very few, if any, healthy 'rights of passage' for young people becoming adults. Instinctively many seek that, but find mostly unhealthy cultural patterns (such as gangs etc.)

And agree that we need to encourage
the young to connect with nature- to understand their
relationship to living things.

The Kogi story upset me so much because clearly
they are among the last people on the planet
who understand the interconnected relationship
of all life and could teach the rest of us so much.

Their belief that a great change is coming sounds
true enough to me. At the very least, I would
like to learn more about the best way to
prepare for the transition from them.

BHN

that has the power of the disturbed mind, regarding Karl Rove. Either later tonight or tomorrow, I'll try to get the other one up.

Tom Brown, Jr's books? Are you familiar with them? (Hah! One question first, tho, is "do they read?") The Tracker is his first book, but there are a number of others. VERY readable, absorbing, and I can't imagine them not appealing to young men who are discovering the sacred outdoors.

to young men. They seem to have made quite an impression on one young man who practically moved into my shop.


Sometimes all it takes is to get one interested and he'll tell his friends...

They will if they keep coming to my house! I'm not familiar with Tom Brown, Jr's books. Tell me about them? I'm always looking for good books to get people, and that age group can present problems.

Thanks.

With an update.

People are fed up with bullying. Somehow there has to be a rallying to this cause.

from circulation.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to get.
Poof- gone from existence.
The ONLY way to get a copy is
by donating to the Tairona Foundation
which I do gleefully.
The Kogis are my heroes- the last hope
I have for the world- the fact that they have
been chemically attacked sickens me beyond
words.
BHN

Or whoever controls the broadcast rights..

PBS surely has a copy of the tape on file. I saw it on PBS. The Beshara Trust magazine did the article that introduced me to the Kogi a decade ago, and I'm sure they would be interested in helping or informing.

I'm livid, I want to do something. I'll donate to the cause, and I'd love to have a copy of the tape, but I want this brought to the attention of the masses. I'm alerting a few people in the media.

Something must be done.

I know you feel like I do- any one who saw that
amazing documentary can not help but feel
this way.

I don't know why the BBc doesn't offer it, but they
don't. As far as I know anyway- I mean I looked
for it for YEARS and couldn't find a trace of it.
I started to think I had dreamed the whole thing.

I agree with you completely- people MUST learn about the
Kogi and what has been done to them by these EVIL
pieces of shit.

I invited Alan Eriere to DU with the suggestion that
he inform our community and request our support.
Have not heard back from him yet, but given that
he is in the UK, he is probably asleep and has no idea
that we are furiously discussing the situation.
(I suggested that he post in GD, or GD Politics
for the best visibility, so help me keep this thread
kicked in case he shows up...)

It is evident that there has been a complete media
black out on this and who knows what else.
I think some DU activism directed at the media
is a GREAT idea, and I would LOVE to see
the documentary broadcast here again
for all the fucking dumb asses who actually believe
that there is no such thing as global warming.

BHN

They play all sorts of documentaries. Hell I would PAY them to put it on! Thank you for the post BHN. We are all fucked because of the BFEE.

:(

Do you want to alert them, or should I?

maybe even Bravo??

I alerted Sundance.

The cost in US funds is $50 and the link is:

(Posting it here as it took me a bit of time to find it.)

Thank you, BHN, for bringing this out for us to discuss.

inhuman, inhumane people that have taken over the seats of power. This is a nightmare.

In all the bullshit about "kkkristianity" they spout, didn't they ever read that "The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth"?

:kick::kick::kick:

Your anger is very evident, and I share the feelings of anguish. Have you ever considered though, the theory of Gaia wherein the power of the living planet being Earth is simply far more powerful than the power of mankind to destroy. When we become too much of an irritant, the planet will find a way to destroy the "virus". The whole "dominion over nature" thing is hilarious to me.

Makes sense to me though-
We are SUCH a destructive force to the planet.
A threat to ALL beings and life here on Earth.
My dad always said that eventually a virus would
wipe us out- he said Mother Nature had no
choice but to rid herself of us.
If I could cast a vote for one group of people to survive
such a thing- I would vote for the Kogi.
That is why the news that they had been
attacked with chemical spraying by a Dyncorp plane
made my head explode.
They live in perfect harmony with nature-
Reports from those gifted with observing them
in person tell of a people with no gray hair,
no disease, superior mental capacity and
livestock and agriculture that would put
paradise to shame.
To attack such a pure society with chemical
warfare is an abomination beyond my comprehension.
BHN

The evil daisies are the weeds killing ALL of our chances
of survival. We need a heavy dose of weed killer right about NOW.
This passage at the end of the link you gave us says it ALL.
BHN
"Our experiment with global warming
cannot be halted when we are uncomfortable with the effects;
by then it may be too late. And once a species is extinct, it
cannot be restored. We are just one part of a larger system, and
are reliant on that system for our continued existence. We harm it
at our peril."

Horton Hears a Hoo was, after all, as prophetic as anyone suspected.:)

Dr. Suess, modern day prophet.
BHN

The only way to obtain a copy of the documentary
is through a donation to the Tairona Trust.
Making a donation makes me feel that somehow I
am fighting the evil done with my tax dollars.
I highly recommend that you do the same.
BHN

undeserving place on it. Would be nice if man discovered balance and respect with our
host earth but if as it appears we do not I certainly wish well to the survivors of our demise. Ironically, a good contender for survivorship in my book would be; the viruses.
Now, to google Gaia.

http://www.gaianet.fsbusiness.co.uk/gaiatheory.html

EXCELLENT site.

Side note to your post about balance:
It is up to US to create balance- those among us who
are awake must begin a concentrated effort and
take unified action against the forces that have
wrought such devastating destruction.
The world belongs to all of us- and we have the right
to say NO- NO MORE.
BHN

i really do understand why you are.

it is unendurable

please keep on


peace

solidarity

We are all suffering- and why?
Because a FEW greedy fuckers
have decided the course of our lives.
If we do not balance their actions, they
will destroy us all.
BHN

Nominate for Greates!

I sincerely hope he will join us and
tell us how we can best help.
Please keep this thread kicked so he can find us.

This is an extremely worthy cause that really needs your help. Like BHN said, the documentary will change your life. These people are truly amazing. Unique, and wise in ways all their own.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate
your help in keeping this thread alive-
I know the in-your-face topical issues are
extremely important; Rove-gate, DSM and all,
but somehow, this story about the Kogi
have hit me on a very deep level.
I somehow feel that the harm done to
the Elder Brothers has allowed the in-your-face evil
to flourish. In my heart of hearts, I feel that
we must protect the Kogi, assist in whatever
way we can to restore the balance and
the people like Rove and the issues like DSM
will be taken care of too.
Anyone understand or feel this way too?
BHN

understand and feel exactly like that.

very well said, BHN, imho.


peace

but a little more broadly.

indigene around the world are warning us - western industrial... - and saying they are considering walking out of this so-called reality that so many of them are holding together, keeping in balance.

i cherish the philosophy:

we are dolphin's dream


(that is my ignorant paraphrase of that philosophy. i don't know whose it is, or first was. i have searched for that info. does anyone else here know, maybe?)

anyway, please keep on caring so deeply!!!


peace!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=111x43861
I recently posted this in the Meeting Room forum,
asking for help with the Dolphin symbol which I have never
encountered in a dream.
It was an AMAZING dream.
What are you referring to when you mention
Dolphin's dream?
BHN

Look forward to hearing more about the dolphin's dream.
As you might imagine, you have aroused my curiosity.
BHN

genocide of the a-mazing Kogi is too important for me to further stretch the subject on this thread.
thank you for your interest, though.

and thank you for the sweet dreams!


peace!

i have to go, but will check back later to see if the filmmaker has joined in, and to kick some more again.


i hope what i added in my previous post is okay with you, BHN - i kind of stretched your original topic, sorry. i am interested in your thoughts on that, should you have a chance to say.
no rush. i must off for now.

be well!



peace!

Or is empathy such a unknown emotion to you that you feel compelled to mock it?

Which is it?

sw

that along with a large dose of good old
'murikkkan ARROGANCE.

I always find it interesting to watch which threads
attract "them," whoever they are.

BHN

response to honest emotion about a greivous injustice?

How many people reading this thread had a reaction of "get a grip"? Certainly no one else who posted on it. Horror and dismay over the fate of the Kogi were the immediate reactions of those who posted here.

What kind of person reads about other human beings having their lives destroyed and posts "get a grip" to someone who finds that appalling?

I really want to know. I simply can't imagine an interior life that doesn't grieve for the suffering of others. How does that person justify not caring?

sw

Every thing he has posted so far is exactly
of this nature-
Ridiculing, taunting and well, guess
which button I have used on every post
I have found?
Nuff said.
Buh-bye Bocceballs.
Let us know when you get to Iraq.
BHN

But I waited until after I posted my reply, because I really did want to see if "it" would answer. ;-) Oh well...

Anyway, g'night, dear BHN. I've got to get to bed now. :hug:

sw

You know that the keyboard bullies never reply!
Especially when we ask them their Iraq departure date.
"Get a Grip' dear...
LOL,
Nighty-night,
BHN

That is where the trolls drop in and spray their negative attitude. How sad to live such a narrow life.

since none of us can "get a grip"
we are counting on keyboard warriors like yourself
to take care of things that matter-
So when do you leave for Iraq?
BHN

:kick:

:(

might dig up the previous threads on the Kogi and post the links here.

It would be a big help.

Kick.

snip

They survived as a culture because the Kogi focus all their energy on the life of the mind as opposed to the life of a body or an individual.

Fundamental to that survival is the maintenance of physical separation from their world and the rest of humanity. They are very protective of their sacred space and the dense jungle is not kind to tourists.

They worry about the destruction of the rain forest as well as the planet itself. This area embraces some of the most biologically diverse tropical rainforests on the planet. The Kogi are inseparable from the rainforest habit in which they have lived since the dawn of time.

As with most indigenous tribes a connection to Spirit or entities from other worlds who bring messages, is found.

Through oracle propheices and message with Spirit, they are aware of a great change that is coming now to planet Earth. Their Mountain is dying, symbolizing this transition. Similar to what many other tribes around the world see is a world that was about to be destroyed by the misuse of consciousness. Then they saw the emergence of light consciousness as part of the process of humanity emerging as a race of beings in higher evolved light bodies. This strongly connects with the metaphysical teachings of our times.

I think people should NOT enlist or submit to a draft.

Too much crime Too much greed.

our country has sociopaths leading it.And they will not be stopped easily.We need people evil enough to fight the corrupt.And moral enough to stand up for people like the kogi.

If sacrifice is what you think is noble sacrifice your home and arrange for a few Kogi to stay there.I dunno.

America sucks.And her people are cowards in the face of authority figures.

And I send this to the Kogi .I am so very sorry.I hope you all hear me and those of us who think this is so wrong...
I learned about your tribe about three years ago.
I for one will be glad when it's all over and the human blight the white eyed monster is dead along with it's sociopath human hosts.I don't know who brought death here.I know we were once an eternal self sustaining system of being..before the monsters got in,before the evil mixed in with the good principles ,and made our lives into a salad dressing of joy and misery so difficult to separate.All is not one.really Death was not here until it was brought here..
I do not know what I can do now the sickness is so entrenched.
And it hurts.It scares me that so many can't even feel it.

Indigenous peoples have felt it and
been warning for decades.
Look up Thomas Banyacya (Hopi Elder)
Think I spelled his name right...
if not I know another DUer will help out.

Edit for spelling

especially when they start to get pissed. :nuke:

There's nothing I wouldn't do to help preserve the Kogi. They are a treasure, there is so much we could learn from them.

It is an evil force that has led to this atrocity. It is so frightening that so few recognize this.

The heartbeat of humanity is weakening.

Totally amazing website. There are some unbelievable pictures. This just proves that our misAdministration is making our entire world less safe, not safer. Thanks so much for posting!

:hi:

is well on its way to destroying many life forms on this planet. Including homo sapiens...

communities too...several of you PM'd me
with your actions that way- YOU GUYS ROCK!

I know much of what we are doing in Colombia but this is new to me. I'll be happy to join in with the rest on keeping this kicked up and spreading the word.

Peace

peace!

* edit to add "outstanding" because it is.

A delegation of elders will come to NYC, upstate NY, and then cross the country with a few steps. Still in the works. Will post details to DU when we settle them.

Do you have any links that haven't yet been posted?

If lost, will be lost forever.

Thank you, BHN... "Please consider supporting to the Tairona Foundation-" Will do.

And thread nominated.

They are, indeed, a treasure. They're the only tribe in Columbia the Spanish couldn't conquer.

I thinki t might have something about this...

Love to all of you who have tended the thread today-
I just got back home and will kick it till the
cows come home-
Like I said in an earlier post-
The Kogi have told us that for a long time, they
have kept the world in balance, or safe.
The message they gave us through Alan's documentary
was that they needed us to change, that the imbalance
was growing out of control, too drastically for them to keep us
safe. Pardon my bad paraphrasing, but TRULY, I feel that
protecting them is essential to defeating the evil of the
Bush Administration and the forces that are destroying us all.
Again, I ask, does anyone else know what I am talking
about?
I mean, perhaps we have survived as long as we have
as a species due to the Elder brothers.
If they are destroyed, what then?

This is a really important message. I would love to get a copy of the documentary. I was going to nominate your wonderful work here, but apparently I missed the 24 hour window in which to do so. I will bookmark this one though. :-) Thanks for putting this together.
