This episode of

It's the End of the World as we know it

0:00:08.998,0:00:09.680
and I feel fine

0:00:09.680,0:00:12.016
was made possible by contributions

0:00:12.016,0:00:13.072
from slaves like you.

0:00:13.412,0:00:14.418
Spank you very much!

0:00:14.849,0:00:16.289
There's a militant group operating

0:00:16.289,0:00:17.345
on the reservation.

0:00:18.079,0:00:20.120
Call themselves A.R.M.

0:00:20.120,0:00:22.591
Aboriginal Rights Movement.

0:00:23.891,0:00:25.360
Extremely violent.

0:00:25.660,0:00:27.228
They say they've gone there the defend

0:00:27.228,0:00:28.296
the traditional Natives against

0:00:28.296,0:00:30.665
the pro-government Natives.

0:00:30.665,0:00:32.250
It's turned into a civil conflict -

0:00:32.250,0:00:33.919
Indian against Indian.

0:00:33.919,0:00:35.370
Whole place is a tinderbox.

0:00:41.636,0:00:43.812
Gooooooooood morning slaves,

0:00:43.812,0:00:45.647
and welcome to another sedition of

0:00:45.647,0:00:47.215

0:00:47.215,0:00:48.850
and I Feel fine

0:00:48.850,0:00:50.018
the show where hackey-sack

0:00:50.018,0:00:51.553
is a full-contact sport.

0:01:00.161,0:01:01.496
I am your host the Stimulator,

0:01:01.496,0:01:02.564

0:01:09.571,0:01:11.046
Prison-Industrial-Complex.

0:01:11.246,0:01:12.286
"I can't go to jail...

0:01:12.307,0:01:13.341
I'll die in there!"

0:01:13.451,0:01:15.443
Well… for several years now,

0:01:15.443,0:01:17.012
anarchists and other trouble-makers

0:01:17.012,0:01:19.347
have been combining their love for one,

0:01:19.347,0:01:21.063
with their hatred of the other,

0:01:21.063,0:01:22.884
ringing in the new year

0:01:22.884,0:01:24.720
by showing solidarity with those forced

0:01:24.720,0:01:27.389
to spend the holiday locked up behind bars.

0:01:27.389,0:01:30.191
And New Years Eve 2015, was no exception,

0:01:30.191,0:01:31.226
with noise demos

0:01:31.226,0:01:32.962
and impromptu firework displays

0:01:32.962,0:01:34.428
taking place outside jails

0:01:34.428,0:01:35.563
and penitentiaries

0:01:35.563,0:01:37.265
in dozens of cities around the world.

0:01:37.495,0:01:38.875
This year, many of those

0:01:38.875,0:01:40.439
New Year celebrations were carried out

0:01:40.439,0:01:42.806
under the insurrectionary banner of

0:01:42.806,0:01:43.771
BLACK DECEMBER

0:01:44.105,0:01:46.741
as peeps answered a call made in November

0:01:46.741,0:01:49.343
by imprisoned Greek anarchists Nikos Romanos

0:01:49.343,0:01:50.845
and Panagiotis Argirou,

0:01:50.845,0:01:52.313
urging comrades around the world

0:01:52.313,0:01:54.349
to step up their game by increasing

0:01:54.349,0:01:56.118
the anarchist offensive against

0:01:56.118,0:01:57.019
the world of Power.

0:01:57.192,0:01:59.302
By the time the smoke had cleared on 2015

0:01:59.321,0:02:01.857
over 100 separate solidarity actions,

0:02:01.857,0:02:03.358
demonstrations, events,

0:02:03.358,0:02:04.893
and clandestine attacks

0:02:04.893,0:02:06.094
had been carried out

0:02:06.094,0:02:07.348
in 20 different countries,

0:02:07.348,0:02:09.797
all under the banner of Black December.

0:02:10.214,0:02:12.840
Several got in just under the wire

0:02:12.840,0:02:14.403
on December 31st,

0:02:14.403,0:02:16.167
including a sledgehammer attack

0:02:16.172,0:02:17.905
on a weapon manufacturer,

0:02:17.905,0:02:20.809
BAE Systems, in Melbourne, Australia;

0:02:20.809,0:02:23.277
a Molotov attack on a Porsche dealership

0:02:23.277,0:02:24.945
in Montevideo, Uruguay;

0:02:24.945,0:02:27.685
and two separate attacks in Germany:

0:02:27.685,0:02:29.250
the torching of several Federal

0:02:29.250,0:02:31.759
Customs Administration vehicles in Leipzig

0:02:31.759,0:02:33.425
and a series of coordinated arson

0:02:33.425,0:02:35.030
and sabotage attacks

0:02:35.030,0:02:36.991
carried out against the sprawling,

0:02:36.991,0:02:37.895
CO2-belching,

0:02:37.895,0:02:39.937
open-pit brown coal mine

0:02:39.937,0:02:41.400
in the Hambach Forest.

0:02:42.873,0:02:44.937
Meanwhile, the past month has seen

0:02:44.937,0:02:46.657
an intense escalation of repression in

0:02:46.657,0:02:50.004
Kurdish regions of southeastern Turkey.

0:02:50.004,0:02:51.138
including the imposition of

0:02:51.138,0:02:52.475
round-the-clock curfews

0:02:52.475,0:02:54.338
in Kurdish districts in the cities of

0:02:54.338,0:02:57.645
Cizre, Silopi, Nusaybin and Diyarbakir

0:02:58.012,0:02:59.711
and a full-fledged onslaught

0:02:59.711,0:03:01.549
by the Turkish fucking military.

0:03:02.417,0:03:03.689
"We have left our neighbourhood

0:03:03.689,0:03:05.051
and we are leaving town.

0:03:05.051,0:03:06.362
They are shelling us with mortars

0:03:06.362,0:03:07.621
and attacking with tanks,

0:03:07.621,0:03:09.165
so we are going to another region."

0:03:09.399,0:03:11.299
As those who watched my previous report

0:03:11.299,0:03:13.168
on the Kurdish insurrection in Turkey

0:03:13.168,0:03:15.098
will know, back in August

0:03:15.098,0:03:18.207
Turkey's aspiring Führer, Tayipp Erdogan,

0:03:18.207,0:03:20.838
took a shit on the country's peace process

0:03:20.838,0:03:23.205
and restarted a nearly 40 year-old

0:03:23.205,0:03:25.511
civil war with the PKK,

0:03:25.511,0:03:28.008
or Kurdistan Worker's Party.

0:03:28.438,0:03:29.544
In response,

0:03:29.544,0:03:30.844
community assemblies in the country's

0:03:30.844,0:03:32.774
Kurdish southeast moved to declare

0:03:32.774,0:03:35.121
autonomy from the Turkish state

0:03:35.121,0:03:37.021
and began preparing to defend themselves,

0:03:37.021,0:03:38.321
by digging trenches

0:03:38.321,0:03:39.723
and building barricades.

0:03:39.951,0:03:41.192
Since then, there have been

0:03:41.197,0:03:43.356
51 curfews imposed in this region

0:03:43.356,0:03:45.424
including the latest wave,

0:03:45.424,0:03:47.592
which began on December 14th.

0:03:47.592,0:03:49.300
After sealing off neighbourhoods

0:03:49.300,0:03:51.068
with tanks and special forces,

0:03:51.068,0:03:53.110
and imposing a media blackout,

0:03:53.110,0:03:54.207
Turkish snipers have been shooting

0:03:54.207,0:03:57.112
anyone who leaves their house on sight,

0:03:57.112,0:03:58.941
while the army pummels the region

0:03:58.941,0:04:01.278
with artillery, and patrols the streets

0:04:01.278,0:04:03.340
in tanks flanked by helicopter gunships.

0:04:03.608,0:04:04.813
"We can't raise our heads.

0:04:04.817,0:04:06.217
There are tanks... artillery.

0:04:06.217,0:04:08.421
Our children's mental health is damaged.

0:04:08.421,0:04:10.057
There's nothing to wear. Nothing to eat.

0:04:10.057,0:04:11.609
We want this to end. Enough!

0:04:11.609,0:04:14.019
We have been at war since the 1990s."

0:04:14.129,0:04:16.074
This latest upsurge in violence

0:04:16.074,0:04:17.685
has already claimed the lives of hundreds,

0:04:17.685,0:04:19.793
if not thousands of peeps,

0:04:19.793,0:04:21.562
mostly Kurdish civilians.

0:04:26.042,0:04:28.141
But despite this fucked up level

0:04:28.141,0:04:30.552
of state repression, Kurds in Turkey

0:04:30.552,0:04:31.876
have continued to resist,

0:04:31.876,0:04:33.776
with the YDG-H,

0:04:33.776,0:04:36.111
or Kurdish Patriotic Youth Movement

0:04:36.111,0:04:38.223
attacking Turkish personnel carriers

0:04:38.223,0:04:39.743
with Molotov cocktails

0:04:39.743,0:04:41.551
and even engaging Turkish troops

0:04:41.551,0:04:42.821
and police in firefights.

0:04:43.298,0:04:44.653
Solidarity actions

0:04:44.653,0:04:46.462
have also taken place across the region,

0:04:46.462,0:04:48.158
with tens of thousands of Kurds

0:04:48.158,0:04:49.748
from around the country

0:04:49.748,0:04:51.825
traveling to the besieged city of Cizre

0:04:51.825,0:04:54.192
to demand an end to the military crackdown

0:04:54.192,0:04:56.102
and massive rallies taking place in

0:04:56.102,0:04:57.372
parts of Kurdish cities

0:04:57.372,0:04:59.576
not currently under strict curfew conditions.

0:04:59.762,0:05:01.044
Most importantly,

0:05:01.044,0:05:02.543
the Kurds have not backed down

0:05:02.543,0:05:04.910
from their declaration of autonomy,

0:05:04.910,0:05:06.078
which has since been adopted

0:05:06.078,0:05:07.826
by the leaders of the reformist

0:05:07.826,0:05:09.761
pro-Kurdish HDP party,

0:05:09.761,0:05:11.615
and new community self-defense forces

0:05:11.615,0:05:13.047
have been formed, modeled after the

0:05:13.047,0:05:16.186
Syrian Kurdish defense forces of the YPG

0:05:16.186,0:05:17.720
and YPJ.

0:05:51.152,0:05:52.158
To protect and defend,

0:05:52.158,0:05:53.022
they left us for dead.

0:05:53.022,0:05:53.968
It's time to put some lead

0:05:54.921,0:05:55.724
That's how it goes here.

0:05:55.724,0:05:56.933
There's consequence to

0:05:56.933,0:05:57.999
the actions they make.

0:05:57.999,0:05:58.832
And they can't get away

0:05:58.832,0:05:59.797
with the slaughter and rape

0:05:59.797,0:06:00.732

chunk of time showcasing stories from the

global motherfuckin Indigenous resistance.

0:06:42.212,0:06:43.510
From the Mapuche nation

0:06:43.510,0:06:45.441
fighting against the ongoing theft

0:06:45.441,0:06:47.269
of their lands by the Chilean state,

0:06:47.269,0:06:49.778
to Palestinians resisting illegal settlements

0:06:51.881,0:06:53.954
anti-colonial resistance is alive and well

0:06:53.954,0:06:56.321
in today's so-called post-colonial world.

0:06:56.435,0:06:58.322
In resisting the ongoing colonization

0:06:58.322,0:06:59.927
of their traditional territories,

0:06:59.927,0:07:02.731
Indigenous land defenders form a primary

0:07:02.731,0:07:04.834
global line of defense against

many of the destructive mega-projects

and the construction of

0:07:18.710,0:07:19.775
oil and natural gas pipelines

0:07:19.775,0:07:21.910
and the motherfuckin Tar Sands.

0:07:21.910,0:07:23.312
For much of the past decade

0:07:23.312,0:07:25.212
this resistance has taken place under the

0:07:25.212,0:07:27.284
reigns of Klanada's petrol-pimping

0:07:27.284,0:07:29.123
Prime Minister, Stephen Harper.

0:07:29.237,0:07:35.025
♬♬ West Alberta... county mama

0:07:35.025,0:07:36.831
take me home.... ♬♬

0:07:36.831,0:07:38.745
An ultra-conservative ideologue,

0:07:38.745,0:07:41.571
and former oil industry lobbyist, who

0:07:41.571,0:07:43.366
went out of his way to gut domestic and

0:07:43.366,0:07:45.914
international ecological regulations,

0:07:45.914,0:07:48.237
muzzle his environmental critics,

0:07:48.237,0:07:50.638
and callously ignore the demands

0:07:50.638,0:07:51.872
of Indigenous peeps,

0:07:51.872,0:07:53.207
both at home and abroad.

0:07:53.374,0:07:56.144
But back in October of last year,

0:07:56.146,0:07:57.734
politricks in Klanada

0:07:57.734,0:07:58.977
got a fucking face-lift.

0:07:59.387,0:08:00.882
Harper got his pasty ass

0:08:00.882,0:08:01.882
tossed to the curb

0:08:01.916,0:08:03.752
and the voters elected themselves

0:08:03.752,0:08:05.620
a hunky new overlord -

0:08:05.620,0:08:06.772
Justin Trudeau!

0:08:12.775,0:08:15.118
Despite the fact that Trudeau voted for

0:08:15.118,0:08:17.384
the totalitarian police state-inducing

0:08:17.384,0:08:19.739
legislation Bill C-51,

0:08:19.739,0:08:21.506
and unequivocally supports

0:08:21.506,0:08:23.726
existing pipeline proposals, and the

0:08:23.726,0:08:26.311
expansion of the motherfuckin Tar Sands,

0:08:26.311,0:08:28.546
loads of so-called “progressives”

0:08:28.546,0:08:29.384
are swooning.

0:08:29.801,0:08:32.607
In part, this is typical lesser-evilism

0:08:32.607,0:08:33.845
similar to when

0:08:33.845,0:08:35.049
the man your mama calls Obama

0:08:35.049,0:08:36.451
took over from the

0:08:36.451,0:08:39.086
Bush and Cheney cabal in 2008,

0:08:39.086,0:08:41.162
and this is just an expected byproduct

0:08:41.162,0:08:42.859
of an electoral system

0:08:42.859,0:08:44.260
managed by PR companies

0:08:44.260,0:08:47.095
and mediated by corporate and state media.

0:08:47.471,0:08:50.335
But another one of the insidious reasons

0:08:50.335,0:08:53.241
why peeps have shown JT so much love

0:08:53.241,0:08:56.177
lies in his professed plans to reboot

0:08:56.177,0:08:57.772
the federal government’s relations

0:08:57.772,0:08:59.681
with the country’s First Nations.

0:08:59.681,0:09:01.347
This shift in tone was signaled, in part,

0:09:01.347,0:09:03.907
by his nomination of the country's

0:09:03.907,0:09:05.769
first Indigenous Attorney General,

0:09:05.769,0:09:07.420
Jody Wilson-Raybould,

0:09:07.420,0:09:09.088
a former regional chief

0:09:09.088,0:09:11.526
of the BC Assembly of First Nations who

0:09:11.526,0:09:13.426
before joining the federal government,

0:09:13.426,0:09:15.417
oversaw several rounds of

0:09:15.417,0:09:16.626
treaty negotiations

0:09:16.626,0:09:18.485
that attempted to assimilate

0:09:18.485,0:09:20.395
the unceded Indigenous territories

0:09:20.395,0:09:21.970
of so-called British Columbia

0:09:21.970,0:09:23.432
by bringing them under the legal

0:09:23.432,0:09:26.135
jurisdiction of their colonial occupier.

0:09:26.135,0:09:27.709
As the head honcho of the

0:09:27.709,0:09:29.040
country's justice department,

0:09:29.040,0:09:31.214
she is now in charge of dealing with

0:09:31.214,0:09:32.880
troublesome Native groups who continue

0:09:32.880,0:09:35.413
to maintain their territorial sovereignty,

0:09:35.413,0:09:37.177
such as the Unist'ot'en clan

0:09:37.177,0:09:38.853
blocking pipelines in unceded

0:09:38.853,0:09:39.920
Wet'suwet'en lands.

0:09:40.057,0:09:41.657
As western corporations

0:09:41.657,0:09:43.079
and their political pets

0:09:43.079,0:09:45.325
get increasingly wise to the threat posed

0:09:45.325,0:09:46.757
by the current upsurge

0:09:46.757,0:09:48.128
in Native-led resistance,

0:09:48.128,0:09:49.896
attempts to co-opt their struggles

0:09:49.896,0:09:51.328
will no doubt increase.

0:09:51.328,0:09:53.421
But grassroots Indigenous activists

0:09:53.421,0:09:55.067
and land defenders live lifestyles

0:09:55.067,0:09:56.956
very different from the sellout leaders

0:09:56.956,0:09:58.541
that the state handpicks

0:09:58.541,0:09:59.709
as negotiating partners.

0:09:59.943,0:10:01.335
These differences have incredibly

0:10:01.335,0:10:02.180
high stakes.

0:10:02.600,0:10:04.606
Particularly when it comes to negotiating

0:10:04.606,0:10:06.942
treaties and signing infrastructural

0:10:06.942,0:10:08.136
development projects.

0:10:08.136,0:10:10.081
To learn more about some of the real life

0:10:10.081,0:10:11.981
shit affecting grassroots Indigenous peeps

0:10:11.981,0:10:13.789
in Turtle Island, I recently caught up

0:10:13.789,0:10:16.187
with Ant-Loc, MC for one of my favourite

0:10:16.187,0:10:17.946
hip hop groups, Savage Fam.

0:10:17.946,0:10:19.956
My name don't matter in this situation.

0:10:19.956,0:10:21.855
We represent Savage Fam:

0:10:21.855,0:10:23.796
Standing Against Violent Adversaries

0:10:23.796,0:10:25.066
and Genocidal Environments

0:10:25.066,0:10:26.264
Forever Always Movement.

0:10:26.264,0:10:27.270
The voice of the voiceless.

0:10:27.270,0:10:29.271
The people that nobody speaks for.

0:10:29.271,0:10:31.567
The people that aren't allowed to speak

0:10:31.567,0:10:32.292
for themselves.

0:10:32.292,0:10:34.239
I'm from the Lower Elwha Klallam people

0:10:34.239,0:10:36.133
in illegally occupied Washington State.

0:10:36.133,0:10:37.479
North-west portion of the

0:10:37.479,0:10:38.506
United Snakes of America.

0:10:38.678,0:10:40.568
To most peeps out there, Savage Fam

0:10:40.568,0:10:41.568
is a hip hop group.

0:10:41.568,0:10:43.812
But to others, it's much more than that.

0:10:43.812,0:10:44.979
Can you explain?

0:10:45.112,0:10:46.881
Some people consider us, you know,

0:10:46.881,0:10:48.757
music or hip hop artists, or rap artists

0:10:48.757,0:10:50.781
or whatever the fuck that is, but I feel

0:10:50.781,0:10:54.623
like Savage Fam was a coming together

0:10:54.623,0:10:57.093
of a lot of people that were tired of

0:10:57.093,0:10:59.627
having to face the sicknesses, the death,

0:10:59.627,0:11:00.895
the destruction that was going on on our

0:11:00.895,0:11:02.263
communities. And I think that some of us

0:11:02.263,0:11:05.857
grabbed on the portion of music, hip hop

0:11:05.857,0:11:07.275
because it was something that was listened

0:11:07.275,0:11:08.972
to in our communities. But realistically

0:11:08.972,0:11:11.511
the way we always address it - I know when

0:11:11.511,0:11:12.781
we are sitting behind closed doors, and

0:11:12.781,0:11:14.081
we're conversing with ourselves,

0:11:14.081,0:11:15.981
the fact is that Savage Fam is a voice..

0:11:15.981,0:11:17.779
it's an idea, it's a concept.

0:11:17.779,0:11:19.252
It's a way of being that existed

0:11:19.252,0:11:21.416
even before we gave it a name.

0:11:21.416,0:11:22.777
Like the way it's broken down:

0:11:22.777,0:11:24.088
Standing Against Violent Adversaries

0:11:24.088,0:11:25.683
and Genocidal Environments - what that

0:11:25.683,0:11:29.025
suggests is that, not only do we function

0:11:29.025,0:11:31.300
with addressing the issues in terms

0:11:31.300,0:11:35.029
through music, we also confront the system

0:11:35.029,0:11:36.227
- we have confronted the system,

0:11:36.227,0:11:38.371
we have been arrested... got down doing

0:11:38.371,0:11:40.254
what was necessary to hold it down for

0:11:40.254,0:11:41.276
our people.

0:11:41.276,0:11:42.536
We've crossed the country helping out

0:11:42.536,0:11:44.639
our people in every way possible....

0:11:44.639,0:11:46.813
not just through music. But music was the

0:11:46.813,0:11:48.316
way that people got to know us, Savage Fam

0:11:48.316,0:11:50.145
When I first saw y'all perform,

0:11:50.145,0:11:51.740
y'all had more rappers on stage

0:11:51.740,0:11:53.182
than the Wu Tang Clan.

0:11:53.182,0:11:54.808
How many peeps are in Savage Fam?

0:11:54.808,0:11:56.494
Many people, like, grabbed onto this shit

0:11:56.494,0:11:59.420
and we never wanted to turn anyone away

0:11:59.420,0:12:01.391
in terms of being a part of this shit.

0:12:01.391,0:12:03.697
In terms of being like "Well I got nobody

0:12:03.697,0:12:06.389
else. I have fuckin nothing remaining

0:12:06.389,0:12:08.065
of my identity. I have nothing remaining

0:12:08.065,0:12:09.162
of any of this shit, because this shit

0:12:09.162,0:12:11.702
has been stripped from me by every

0:12:11.702,0:12:13.642
possible means there is. And you're

0:12:13.642,0:12:14.973
the only fucking thing we have...

0:12:14.973,0:12:17.706
is this shit. I seen in this video

0:12:17.706,0:12:19.077
where y'all were getting arrested

0:12:19.077,0:12:20.814
at fuckin Columbus Day in Denver.

0:12:20.814,0:12:23.618
I seen this shit when y'all came over

0:12:23.618,0:12:25.020
to the spot and droppred some clothes off.

0:12:25.020,0:12:27.681
Y'all came up to the spot when the girl

0:12:27.681,0:12:29.419
killed herself just to come show support."

0:12:29.419,0:12:30.658
People were like "Fuck that, we wanna

0:12:30.658,0:12:32.192
be a part of this shit, you know what I'm

0:12:32.192,0:12:33.888
sayin? Yeah man... fuckin this is all we

0:12:33.888,0:12:36.357
have. You make us feel strong.

0:12:36.357,0:12:38.368
You make us feel this, or you make us

0:12:38.368,0:12:39.963
actually only fuckin feel like somebody

0:12:39.963,0:12:41.396
gives a fuck about us."

0:12:41.396,0:12:42.503
Like, that simple. Like "you actually

0:12:42.503,0:12:44.870
fuckin care about some shit that

0:12:44.870,0:12:46.069
we're going through, and we can tell you

0:12:46.069,0:12:46.942
really been through it."

0:12:46.942,0:12:48.436
So Savage Fam spans all the fuck over.

0:12:48.436,0:12:49.512
You might find a motherfucker in

0:12:49.512,0:12:51.077
Nova Scotia... you might find some

0:12:51.077,0:12:52.804
motherfucker in South America.

0:12:52.804,0:12:54.612
A lot of the lyrics y'all drop are about

0:12:54.612,0:12:56.084
the motherfuckin police.

0:12:56.084,0:12:57.721
Why do y'all hate them so much?

0:12:57.721,0:12:58.848
And what is their role

0:12:58.848,0:13:00.543
in the colonial process?

0:13:00.543,0:13:02.820
Pigs and military, they hold in place

0:13:02.820,0:13:04.253
an illegal occupying force.

0:13:04.253,0:13:06.691
So like, the system of the United Snakes,

0:13:06.691,0:13:09.728
the systems of anything else that exists

0:13:09.728,0:13:12.796
here, is held in place by the policing

0:13:12.796,0:13:14.635
system and by the military system,

0:13:14.635,0:13:16.535
which in a sense, if you look at it, are

0:13:16.535,0:13:18.241
very much one and the same.

0:13:18.241,0:13:20.771
Because under the US view of the world

0:13:20.771,0:13:22.173
might makes right, so the more power

0:13:22.173,0:13:23.209
that you exert, the more power that

0:13:23.209,0:13:25.413
you show in terms of policing the streets

0:13:25.413,0:13:27.344
with guns.. the Feds, the pigs,

0:13:27.344,0:13:30.412
what they do, is they continuously

0:13:30.412,0:13:34.658
hold down - they make sure that this

0:13:34.658,0:13:37.319
occupancy is continuing, and ongoing.

0:13:37.319,0:13:38.955
And I think - that's like, from an

0:13:38.955,0:13:39.727
Indigenous perspective.

0:13:39.727,0:13:40.692
When you look at it from

0:13:40.692,0:13:41.759
a human perspective, or any other

0:13:41.759,0:13:43.557
perspective, you can see every single day

0:13:43.557,0:13:44.796
people being killed by the police.

0:13:44.796,0:13:46.361
You can see people being raped

0:13:46.361,0:13:48.362
by the police. You can see how corrupt

0:13:48.362,0:13:51.765
the system is. How misplaced the idea

0:13:51.765,0:13:53.706
of justice is.

0:13:53.706,0:13:56.144
Because what they have created is

0:13:56.144,0:13:59.445
bullies with badges, bullies with guns.

0:13:59.445,0:14:01.041
People that kind of, can get away

0:14:01.051,0:14:01.989
pretty much with anything.

0:14:01.989,0:14:03.688
Are there any groups or movements

0:14:03.688,0:14:05.106
out there that you have affinity with?

0:14:05.106,0:14:07.552
Any other movement outside of an anarchist

0:14:07.552,0:14:10.254
movement has always been about "how do we

0:14:10.254,0:14:11.819
find our place for justice

0:14:11.819,0:14:13.048
within the system?

0:14:13.048,0:14:15.584
How do we find our place to exist within

0:14:15.584,0:14:16.669
the system, but equal?

0:14:16.669,0:14:19.526
How do we find our place within the system

0:14:19.526,0:14:21.762
but have our piece of the pie as well?"

0:14:21.762,0:14:23.986
And under that, there's no addressing of

0:14:23.986,0:14:25.835
the fact that people are - everyone is

0:14:25.835,0:14:27.978
illegally occupying Indigenous homelands.

0:14:27.978,0:14:30.711
And I think that is a fundamental flaw

0:14:30.711,0:14:32.946
in every single movement that needs

0:14:32.946,0:14:34.317
to be addressed, first and foremost

0:14:34.317,0:14:36.277
before I even listen to anybody about

0:14:36.277,0:14:37.645
anything. That's me personally...

0:14:37.645,0:14:39.984
because I think that it's very dangerous

0:14:39.984,0:14:42.483
to assume as anybody - and I don't care

0:14:42.483,0:14:45.023
what P.O.C. organization you come from,

0:14:45.023,0:14:46.892
whatever it is, if you're not addressing

0:14:46.892,0:14:48.324
first and foremost, that you occupy

0:14:48.324,0:14:51.321
Indigenous homelands illegally

0:14:51.321,0:14:52.794
- regardless of the circumstances that

0:14:52.794,0:14:54.095
got you there - if you do not address that

0:14:54.095,0:14:56.634
fact, first and foremost,

0:14:56.634,0:14:59.976
then you disrespect and you disregard

0:14:59.976,0:15:03.847
the ongoing occupation, and the injustice

0:15:03.847,0:15:05.747
that continues because of that ongoing

0:15:05.747,0:15:07.442
occupation - that colonization process.

0:15:07.442,0:15:10.344
Colonization is simply the process of

0:15:10.344,0:15:13.153
coming through forcefully, and pushing

0:15:13.153,0:15:15.325
a new worldview, and a new way

0:15:15.325,0:15:17.458
of functioning on a group of people or

0:15:17.458,0:15:19.957
group of peoples. And so if you're willing

0:15:19.957,0:15:21.948
to accept that, just as long as you

0:15:21.948,0:15:23.330
can have your piece of equality within

0:15:23.330,0:15:25.230
that, then it's problematic for

0:15:25.230,0:15:26.393
the Indigenous population.

0:15:26.393,0:15:28.531
Do you think people on this continent are

0:15:28.531,0:15:29.628
paying more attention to

0:15:29.628,0:15:30.523
Indigenous issues?

0:15:30.523,0:15:34.301
Yes... but that's only in the context of

0:15:34.301,0:15:36.272
like it fits now with environmental issues

0:15:36.272,0:15:38.273
where we're seeing drastic environmental

0:15:38.273,0:15:39.950
changes. And because of that, we're

0:15:39.950,0:15:42.184
afraid of what might happen.

0:15:42.184,0:15:43.820
So... the Indigenous population has always

0:15:43.820,0:15:45.953
been the people to go to to be like

0:15:45.953,0:15:47.020
"Oh, what the fuck should we do,

0:15:47.020,0:15:48.452
because our fuckin world is changing, and

0:15:48.452,0:15:49.610
it's turning all bad?" because they know

0:15:49.610,0:15:50.860
how to take care of the land and shit.

0:15:50.860,0:15:52.120
And so everyone's like

0:15:52.120,0:15:53.349
"Oh, let's figure out a way

0:15:53.349,0:15:55.360
to see what these Natives are doing."

0:15:55.360,0:15:57.991
But even then, it's underground.

0:15:57.991,0:16:00.135
And it's very very much underground.

0:16:00.135,0:16:01.293
So like, right now, we're talking about

0:16:01.293,0:16:03.132
a fuckin coal train that's going through

0:16:03.132,0:16:04.899
Lummy, and nobody fuckin knows that

0:16:04.899,0:16:06.840
even exists because people are so busy

0:16:06.840,0:16:08.110
dealin with like, one or two

0:16:08.110,0:16:11.005
major projects that are fuckin set up

0:16:11.005,0:16:12.473
by the media to be important. But there's

0:16:12.473,0:16:14.509
a thousand different projects going on.

0:16:14.509,0:16:15.877
There's thousands of different things

0:16:15.877,0:16:17.344
that are going on. There's fucking farms

0:16:17.344,0:16:19.380
on rivers... there's fuckin ongoing

0:16:19.380,0:16:20.882
deforestation and logging.

0:16:20.882,0:16:22.918
Until it affects them in their back yard..

0:16:22.918,0:16:23.885
then it's like "Let's bring in the

0:16:23.885,0:16:25.553
Natives, and let's have a picture of the

0:16:25.553,0:16:26.688
Natives and what they're doing,

0:16:26.688,0:16:27.789
and let's support them."

0:16:27.789,0:16:29.626
Again, this is allyship at its finest,

0:16:29.626,0:16:31.292
because this is when people like,

0:16:31.292,0:16:33.027
bring Natives to the forefront, and have

0:16:33.027,0:16:34.095
them be the voice. And they actually

0:16:34.095,0:16:36.598
become the ones who are chased after

0:16:36.598,0:16:38.500
and incarcerated, murdered, all those

0:16:38.500,0:16:40.568
different things behind closed doors.

0:16:40.568,0:16:42.770
And everybody else gets their accolades

0:16:42.770,0:16:44.138
and shit. People wanna do the shit

0:16:44.138,0:16:45.235
that gets them in front of cameras,

0:16:45.235,0:16:47.145
gets them on pictures and shit like that.

0:16:47.145,0:16:48.283
And I know we're sittin in front of

0:16:48.283,0:16:49.378
cameras right now, but what I'm sayin is

0:16:49.378,0:16:51.147
that people wanna do the pretty shit.

0:16:51.147,0:16:52.854
People wanna do the fuckin - all the

0:16:52.854,0:16:56.054
little shit that's the "major world" shit,

0:16:56.054,0:16:58.360
so they can get a little fame and fortune

0:16:58.360,0:16:59.660
behind what they're trying to do.

0:16:59.660,0:17:02.058
But nobody really knows - people don't

0:17:02.058,0:17:04.567
know about the fact that every fucking day

0:17:04.567,0:17:06.030
there's kids killing themselves.

0:17:06.030,0:17:07.401
People don't know the fact that, fuckin,

0:17:07.401,0:17:09.396
there's kids overdosing themselves every

0:17:09.396,0:17:11.038
fucking day - which doesn't mean shit to

0:17:11.038,0:17:12.440
society at large. But when you have

0:17:12.440,0:17:13.903
a population of 500 fuckin people,

0:17:13.903,0:17:16.910
some places 30 people, some places 100

0:17:16.910,0:17:18.210
people. When you have a population

0:17:18.210,0:17:20.414
like that, and you see 10 people die

0:17:20.414,0:17:23.045
a fuckin year? That's fucking significant.

0:17:23.045,0:17:24.986
But nobody fuckin pays attention

0:17:24.986,0:17:26.387
to that shit. Ain't nobody coming

0:17:26.387,0:17:28.378
to fuckin any kind of camp to, say,

0:17:28.378,0:17:29.750
stop the child molestors from coming

0:17:29.750,0:17:31.254
in our community. But if we have some

0:17:31.254,0:17:32.889
big shit that affects them, they'll come

0:17:32.889,0:17:34.423
fuck with us. But they won't fuck with us

0:17:34.423,0:17:36.394
if we're talkin about let's try and

0:17:36.394,0:17:37.694
protect our children. Let's try to protect

0:17:37.694,0:17:40.823
our women. Let's try - it's not - it won't

0:17:40.823,0:17:42.632
go down like that. Because personally,

0:17:42.632,0:17:44.369
I don't believe anyone really gives a fuck

0:17:44.369,0:17:46.004
unless they got some kind of stake in it.

0:17:46.004,0:17:48.058
But we always got a stake in it.

0:17:48.058,0:17:50.444

There can never really be justice

0:18:54.027,0:18:55.884
on stolen land!

0:18:55.884,0:18:56.954
See you next time, suckers.
