It’s more than a little amusing to hear the little churchills condemn the “boy wizard” in Harry Potter and then turn right around and believe the Itacan of Lakotah when he states:
“that his group has liberated the land”
Magical thinking abounds! Until the ''provisional government'' of the Republic of Lakotah enforces one of its threatened liens this whole ‘action’ remains moot and an internet fantasy.
At least Potter fans know the reality of their enjoyment, little churchills will believe any fanciful revolutionary cant, no matter how stupid and ill-conceived.
Ward/Whitmer have assured everyone that the Lakota are shortly to become ‘stupid rich’. Now let’s see them deliver. The clock’s tickin’ guys. Work that old article six with all you’ve got.
Would anyone be prepared to revisit this issue in a year, remembering all the current rhetoric and bombast and give an objective appraisal of how this ‘action’ turned out? Didn’t think so.

"Russell Means speaks for the Lakota" is magical thinking also.
Do any of his favorite treaties and constitutional amendments have legal specifications to identify "hang-around-the-fort" indians?

"Hang-around-the-fort Indians" is racist in the same way Harry Belafonte (among others) calling Powell and Rice "house niggers" was.

Also since the Lakota Freedom seceded from the US does that imply that when they cross the mythical border that they'll be illegals if they don't have their passports?

That's supposed to be "Grant Crowell, Associate Member of the Republic of Lakotah." I start all my speaking engagements by saying, "Hello my relatives, I bring you greetings from the Republic of Lakota," ruled by a provision government and Bigfoot.

I don't see you mentioning anything about an honorary *membership card*, Crowell. Without a membership card, or a videotape of your initiation ceremony, or a secret decoder ring, or some other tangible proof, your claim will have to be regarded as problematic.
If you've constructed anything marked "Authentic Indian Art," I suggest that you take it out in the yard and hammer it into fragments immediately. That mirror image of the Frederic Remington piece, too. All of it.

" He further noted that his group has liberated the land and established the ''Republic of Lakotah,'' which he said has been done legally according to Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution, the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties and the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. "

Whitmer is now in the midst of trying to figure out how to exact revenge on the local media which portrayed him suitably as a lowlife—that, after working really hard on the image.
Tryworks seems to be working on a retro cross-over thing, the revolutionary shit-kicker. We got a bunch of sheltered urban/university boys who think counting coup in the library stacks is pretty fearsome work--fighting off the library oppressors and such. Fussing with their unpublished critiques and such.
In the Churchillian world there’s a lot of guns, booze and dressing up as revolutionaries. A lot of straining to exude male stereotypes. A lot of attempts at put-downs and rib poking. Posing as Indians, bad boys and delinquents. And then they’re offended by the press they get. Sensitive things, aren't they?

So CF Means is out pounding the pavement for donations to the Republic of Lakotah, COAIM and the T.R.E.A.T.Y. school. Does anyone know if a shovel has hit the dirt to build that school yet?
Why doesn't Russell just sell that nuke they found? That should bring in some dinero. No more begging.

Is it true that Whitmer’s balding and that’s the reason for all the pulled down hats?

Fred: "Is it true that Whitmer’s balding and that’s the reason for all the pulled down hats?"
I would bet money that it's the reason for the shaved head. With a rim of hair around the back of his head, he'd look his age, not to mention resembling a greengrocer. "Bald by choice, fuckin'-A."
I think in a cold sunny climate, a hat to cover such a bald dome is to be recommended. A black SWAT-looking hat with a gun company logo, of course; a hat that most normal 14-year-old boys would be proud to wear.
Whitmer has claimed the hat enhances his "body-guarding" at Churchill's public appearances.
It's a minor point, just illustrates the neediness and image-consciousness thing you referred to above.

I'd say Whitmer is about 35 years old and rather plain looking. I don't see how the hat helps. Anyway, the way he carries himself says he expects someone to pop him in the nose at any time. Sick little guy. Too bad. He's clearly damaged goods, so it doesn't matter what he looks like.

Now and again, General. Don't ask me why. They don't care or unable to communicate, IMHO. Unless, of course, it's poopie talk. I admit they are fairly well versed in that subject. Anyway, I do have a life. If I don't comment for 5 or 6 days, they whine. I'm a mom. I can't ignore crying children.

um, most of you people don't have your photos online, but with the Martin vs. Benjamin phototaking here, there is a pretty clear distinction. Which of these two looks normal, and resembles a camp counselor, who you would you feel comfortable dropping off your child with for daycamp? vs. which one would you not leave your child with, seems sort of creepy and is trying to take photos for his collection?

Hilda poses a conundrum:
“…who you would you feel comfortable dropping off your child with for daycamp?”
Um, I’d go with guns, booze, violence and vulgarity, so I’d pick Whitmer. He likes to give children nightmare inducing books and instruct them in the more brutal aspects of the world. I’m surprised you even ask.

oh yes. JGM is a big birdwatcher which means he can't be all bad, despite his 'drunk' blog. Anyway, you guys were talking appearance. You were making fun of his hat. In those photos, jgm has a similar black hat, BW looks friendly, their chins are essentially the same, BW isn't bald in his hatless photo in the westword which you linked to somewhere.
It wouldn't be easy to be Ward's guard either. I was once with a group which invited Michael Moore to speak at their bathe-in demo at a department store which was opposing a hygiene center downtown where the homeless could wash their clothes and take showers, by saying that there were enough bathrooms at businesses. The real organizer turned to people with no tasks and said they were security, and should stop anyone trying to tackle Moore. That didn't seem too likely, but sure enough, an unbathed drunk guy started stumbling onto the concrete thing Moore was standing on, and at that point we realized we had no idea how to respond to him. Should we get pushy and take him by the arm and lead him away, or do we sort of wave a newspaper at him or let him do what he wants.

What an exciting story, Hilda. You must have felt that you had a purpose in life for a few hours. i should hope that Moore took a bath too.
You directed people to a photo of JGM looking like just about anbody would if they were pulling their chin back as far as possible. He was operating a video camera, you may have noticed.
The ridiculing of phizzes begins with immense hostility that exists for other reasons, it does not cause the hostility. The personal attacks began with the Churchill camp and in particular the sick fantasies of Churchill, Whitmer, and Mad knitter.
How many professors nationwide do you suppose have "bodyguards," Hilda? You may have noticed that Churchill and the people around him (i.e louts) behave in a way such that outsiders might need to be guarded from them, not the other way around.
