Members of the Shinnecock nation outside court in Central Islip, New York, after filing papers claiming tribal ownership of land in the Hamptons. Photograph: Ed Betz

Native American tribe reclaims slice of the Hamptons after court victory | World news | The Observer.

From a distance the teardrop-shaped peninsula looks just like any other bit of the famed Hamptons shoreline. Thick woods crowd down to the water’s edge, and through the trees houses and roads can be glimpsed.

But this land is not part of the Hamptons, neither is it really part of the United States any more. This patch – in the middle of the playground to Manhattan’s social elite – is proudly and fiercely Native American country.

Almost four centuries since their first contact with the white man and after a 32-year court battle that has just ended in victory, the tiny Shinnecock tribe has now been formally recognised by America’s federal government.

The decision means that the Shinnecock, numbering some 1,300 members, many of whom live in deep poverty compared with their wealthy neighbours, can apply for federal funding to build schools, health centres and set up their own police force. It means their tiny 750-acre reservation is now a semi-sovereign nation within the US, just like much bigger and more famous reservations in the west.

In order to qualify the Shinnecock literally had to prove that they existed, submitting thousands of pages of tribal records. It was a process that has left a bitter legacy. “Why do we need federal recognition to show we are who we are?” said Shinnecock leader Lance Gumbs as he sat in his office in the community centre. “It’s a humiliating, degrading and insensitive process. Why do Indian people have to go through that? No other peoples are treated like that.”

Many believe that the lengthy and painful process that the Shinnecock have been forced to go through is explained by the tribe’s position bang in the middle of the Hamptons, the string of Long Island towns where rich New Yorkers come to party away the summers. The difference between Shinnecock land and the rest of the Hamptons is jarring. The reservation, signalled by a line of stalls selling cheap cigarettes, sits side by side with the town of Southampton, heart of the Hamptons scene.

On the reservation, some roads are dusty and unpaved. The houses can be ramshackle. Unemployment can be a problem for many Shinnecock members. Outside it on the streets of Southampton, stretch limos and black Lexus prowl down streets lined with shops selling Ralph Lauren and Diane von Furstenberg. A real estate agent on Southampton’s main street happily advertises a local house going for $12.2m.

Historically – and indeed pretty much since Europeans first arrived in the area in the 1600s – the Shinnecock have been on the retreat. They lost land steadily as more and more Europeans began to farm their traditional territory, eventually leading to an agreement in 1703 that saw them confined to a broad swath of land around Southampton under a 1,000-year lease. However, in 1859 the pressure of development saw that deal scrapped by the settlers and the Shinnecock reduced to their current tiny holding. For years tribal members then eked out a living working on white farms or helping local fishermen and whalers.

Now that is all set to change as a key part of federal recognition allows the Shinnecock to do the one thing that has changed Native American fortunes more than anything else in the last 100 years: build a casino. Gumbs now sees real power finally in Shinnecock hands. “We are going after everything we are entitled to,” he said. “I am not a big fan of Southampton. They were happy as long as we were the good little Indians in the corner. Well, that’s changed now.”

It is unlikely that the Shinnecock will build their casino in the Hamptons itself, which is already notoriously crowded and traffic-clogged. Instead the simple threat of it is likely to eventually see them negotiate the right to build a casino elsewhere in Long Island, an area that is seen as ripe for the development of a gambling mecca.

Either way, it seems Shinnecock fortunes are set to be dramatically reversed. For many tribal members it is a chance to rescue what remains of the tribe’s culture. Sitting in the tribal museum and cultural centre, Winonah Warren, 71, remembers being taken as a young girl to see a Shinnecock medicine man. She sees the deer that she spots in her garden as a spiritual sign.

She practises a Native American religion in which she takes peyote. It is about as far from the Hamptons scene as it is possible to get. “I love being on the reservation. Even when I am not here, I feel that my heart is,” she said, touching her chest.

Some even feel that federal recognition – and the prospect of a casino – might be the beginning of a wider Shinnecock resurgence. In the white land grab of 1859 an area of land called the Shinnecock Hills was taken. Many Shinnecock held it to be sacred ground. It is now full of rich houses and the famous Shinnecock Hills golf club, with total real estate worth more than a billion dollars. The Shinnecock have sued to get it back.

For many of the Hamptons residents the prospect no doubt seems ridiculous: a relic of ancient history and long-forgotten wrongs. But not so for some of the Shinnecock. Elizabeth Haile, a 79-year-old tribal member, remembers her grandmother telling her how the Shinnecock Hills had been stolen.

Does she think the tribe will ever get them back? “Yeah,” she said with no hesitation, and then added with a smile: “It is a prediction. Some people never thought we would get federally recognised.”

Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether saw it in Sun or BBC 1
Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruct
You coulda Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction

My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
He sat on my bed told me some facts.
Son, I have the duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave my little soldier
And don’t forget all I told ya
Your the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss
Then I had to say goodbye
In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I’m only a kid
Certain things can’t be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold
I said, momma it will be alright
When daddy comes home, tonight

The skin under my chin is exploding again.
I’m getting stress from some other children
I’m holding it in.
We taking sides like a politician
And if i get friction we get to fighting.
I’ll defend my dad he’s the best of all men
and whatever he’s doing he’s doing the right thing.
It’s frightening, but it makes me mad,
Why do all of these people seem to hate my dad?
And if that ain’t enough now i get these spots.
I go to sleep every night with my stomache in knots
And what’s more, i can hear momma next door
Explore the radio for reports of war.
And all we ever seem to do is hide the tears.
Seems like daddy been gone for years.
But he was right, now i’m geared up for the fight
and he would be proud of me.

My story stops here, lets be clear.
This scenario is happening everywhere.
And you ain’t going to nirvana or far-vana,
you’re coming right back here to live out your karma.
With even more drama than previously, seriously.
Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free?
And we refuse to see
that people overseas suffer just like we:
Bad leadership and ego’s unfettered and free
Who feed on the people they’re supposed to lead
I don’t need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight.
There’s only now, do it right.
‘Cos I don’t want your daddy, leaving home tonight

Its been a fantastic year since we’ve restarted grooveTEK electronica music. “Thank You” to all the excellent artists that participated in making this self promotional blog a success.

We’ve recently decided to go back to  moonbase alpha as well as our old bimonthly podcast only format. Of course we are still looking for great mixes from others for the podcast, so continue to send them along. All future podcasts will still be posted here and on ITunes.

We are independent artists and filmmakers ourselves and we know the time and effort it takes to produce a painting, song, photograph, film, dj mix, poem, book and …

The Net has provided us a way to share our work and the work of others, providing you with alternatives. This experimental site and project is totally self-funded and the artists presented here share their work with you freely.

Keep the independent art coming and

Financial Terrorist Playing Cards Now Available to Order.

This will be the final part of this series.

There aren’t many things that I’m sure of these days and as I get older “sureness” becomes less clear. One issue that has repeated itself throughout my life and that I “am” sure about, is war;  its impact on the peoples of the world. War is “Death.”

And again we see how, once thought of, respectable organizations, media or foundations have been co-opted. It is as plain as the “nose on your face” when a peace organization legitimizes war to suit it’s constituents (i.e. the Greedy Ones) desires.

Enlightenment on the other hand seems a transitional experience. It probably wouldn’t occur if good and evil didn’t exist together. There’s the rub; as well as the anti-warrior’s challenge.

So you say you want a revolution. All you need do is shake them off!

Here’s a couple of enlightenment tools for your enjoyment and use.

Part IV

First, let me apologize for being lax about updating this series. This is old but extremely important news, so please bear with me.

Old paradigms are always hard to shake and admitting one might have been fooled is a non-starter with most of us. I am concerned only with the truth as many of you are. If you are reading this series you know I don’t believe in or support any war. That is not to say that I will not defend myself but from my readings of the Founding Fathers , we -- Americans -- were warned about minding other people’s business.

Recently it was announced that Presdent Obama would be presented the Nobel Peace Prize. Alfred Nobel was a Swedish industrialist who invented dynamite and ballistite -- explosives. The Peace Prize was to be administered in Norway.

According to Nobel’s will, the Peace Prize should be awarded to the person who: during the preceding year [...] shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses

The video I’ve attached is ingenious (Rah Rah to its creators) There really is no need in trying to imitate its message with my words.

And Thorbjørn -- “I’m sure you’re not totally responsible for this decision but you’re their front man and will have to take the heat. Don’t do our world any more favors by legitimizing bad behavior.”

A couple of notes:

1. I watched the Nobel Prize announcement on the BBC. I believe you can still find the clip on its website. There is a man behind Thorbjørn Jagland, Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee that seems to begin to laugh as Jagland announces President Obama’s prize. Was he laughing because he was happy for the President or because he knew what bullshit this really was. We’ll never know.

2. I’ve attached a link to George Orwell’s Newspeak Dictionary for those who would like to follow along with the Wall St / Washington program.

Part III

Not to be accused of partianship, I’ve attached a clip from former President Bush. Are these men and their supporters serious? Are these America’s best and brightest or have we been fooled again?

Listen Now!

George Bush on “getting fooled” again

Part II

Note: Someone continues to pull this video from You Tube. We can only imagine the reasons. Here’s the text; It’s just as effective to read!

“I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank.”

Barack Obama Campaign Promise -- October 27, 2007

www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr9ywEFRQkQ

Part I

Now that the Left in America has assumed power, has anything with respect to war really changed?

Left Right, Right Left -- both wings on the same bird. The war goes on. Innocent peope die and if you’d ask most Americans, they wouldn’t know why -- nor do I.

The fair-weather anti-warriors have all disappeared, now that their guy is in, with the exception of one, Cindy Sheehan; still fighting, still speaking the truth.

Good on you Cindy! -- Great Job. -- BB

Editor’s note: The story below Cindy’s is not for the squeamish. It reveals the “horrors of war.” It clearly depicts the extremely dangerous situations the American People place their young service men and women in. And not to forget the innocent people who are also killed. The questions I ask is, “Is it worth their lives?”

NOW HEAR THIS: Cindy’s Internet broadcasts continue!

On Sunday (September 6th), this week’s guest is former Green Party V.P. Candidate AND Hip-Hop Scholar, brilliant Rosa Clemente! Cindy and Rosa chat about everything from Mumia to Federal Electoral Politics. Be sure to listen in.

By the way, President Obama: Where’s the change? Maybe we’ll find out on Wednesday, when you speak to both Houses of Congreee on health care reform. Are you going to change your position? (What the *bleep* do I know anyway? Should I change my mind about supporting you?)

The show will be ready this Sunday. Click here to listen or download, beginning at 2:00 PM San Francisco time.

Lance Cpl. Joshua Bernard is tended to by fellow U.S. Marines in Afghanistan.

Photograph: Julie Jacobson/AP

It is a graphic image of the harsh realities of war: the fatally wounded young marine lying crumpled in the mud, his vulnerable face turned to the camera. And it is one the US defence secretary would rather you did not see.

Lance Corporal Joshua Bernard, pictured being tended by comrades in southern Afghanistan, died of his injuries soon after. Now the release of this record of the 21-year-old’s last moments has divided America, prompting furious debate over the sanitisation of war at a critical time for the military offensive.

The US defence secretary, Robert Gates, condemned the decision by the news agency Associated Press to publish. “I cannot imagine the pain and suffering Lance Corporal Bernard’s death has caused his family. Why your organisation would purposefully defy the family’s wishes, knowing full well that it will lead to yet more anguish, is beyond me.

“Your lack of compassion and common sense in choosing to put this image of their maimed and stricken child on the front page of multiple American newspapers is appalling.”

However, AP, whose photographer Julie Jacobson took the shot after being caught in the middle of an ambush while accompanying marines on patrol, said it had acted only after a “period of reflection” and argued that the picture illustrated the sacrifice and the bravery of those fighting in Afghanistan. “We feel it is our journalistic duty to show the reality of the war there, however unpleasant and brutal that sometimes is,” said Santiago Lyon, the director of photography for AP.

The row reflects rising tensions over the impact of the death toll on an already wavering American public, with support for the war dwindling and President Barack Obama warned this weekend by leading Democrats that any attempt to send more troops is likely to meet resistance in Congress.

It also recalls the controversy four years ago when the Pentagon finally released pictures of flag-draped coffins returning from Iraq, overturning a ban imposed in 1991 on the US media photographing military caskets in transit.

In that case, the concerns of families were also repeatedly cited as justification for suppressing images of the dead, and they were only published after a freedom of information request by a professor of journalism, who argued that they were a matter of public record. By contrast, the British media has regularly covered the return of coffins.

In extracts from her journal published by the US website huffingtonpost.com, Jacobson described the moment when she watched a marine lose his life “for the second time in my life”. “He was hit with the RPG which blew off one of his legs and badly mangled the other… I hadn’t seen it happen, just heard the explosion.” She described how she heard Bernard calling out that he could not breathe, and his friends telling him he was going to make it.

About 20 American newspapers and some websites used the image, sent out alongside photographs of Bernard’s life in uniform and his memorial service, last week, but it was taken on 14 August when Bernard’s patrol in the village of Dahaneh was ambushed. He was airlifted to the US base at Camp Leatherneck but died there of his wounds, the 19th American to lose his life in Helmand that month at the height of the fighting.

AP said the images had been shown to his family in advance, but said that reporters had not specifically asked the family’s permission to publish, admitting that his parents had not wanted the photographs to be used.

The son of a retired marine, Bernard, from New Portland in rural Maine, was described as a devout Christian, an Iraq war veteran, a keen snowboarder and an avid hiker. His father, John, described him as a “humble, shy, unassuming” man who did not smoke or drink and whose main friends were from his church group. Three weeks before Joshua died, Bernard Snr had written to his congressman expressing frustration at what he said was a change in the rules of engagement to spare civilians, calling the move “disgraceful, immoral and fatal” to American forces in combat.

Asked to sum up his son, John Bernard suggested the words “service and personal honour”.

But as America continues to debate the use of his image, Joshua Bernard has now come to symbolise something more: the suffering inflicted on America’s sons and daughters in uniform, and the unease of fellow citizens forced to confront the grim truth about their deaths.

48% See Government Today As A Threat to Individual Rights – Rasmussen Reports™.

Nearly half of American Adults see the government today as a threat to individual rights rather than a protector of those rights.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 48% of Adults see the government today as a threat to rights. Thirty-seven percent (37%) hold the opposite view. Fifteen percent (15%) are undecided.

Most Republicans (74%) and unaffiliateds (51%) consider the government to be a threat to individual rights. Most Democrats (64%) regard the government as a protector of rights.

Additionally, most Americans (52%) say it is more important for the government to protect individual rights than to promote economic growth. Just 31% say promoting economic growth is more important. But again a sizable number (17%) of Adults aren’t sure which is more important.

(Want a free daily e-mail update ? If it’s in the news, it’s in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.

This nationwide survey of 1,000 Adults was conducted on June 18-19, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Men strongly believe it is more important for the government to protect individual rights, while women are almost evenly divided on the question.

Fifty-five percent (55%) of whites feel the emphasis should be on protecting individual rights. African-Americans are closely divided over which is more important.

There is little partisan disagreement when it comes to individual rights versus economic growth.

Data released earlier this week shows that 62% believe politicians want the government to have more power and money. At the same time, 58% think most voters want less power and money for the government.

This gap helps explain why just 21% believe that government today has the consent of the governed.

The Declaration of Independence asserts that governments are instituted among men to protect certain inalienable rights including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Sonikross AKA Nigel Ross first appeared on the dance music scene as SonikKross. His debut single, a collaboration with Michel Spiegel, (Nuw Idol, WellWicked Records) “SonikKross – Walking With Dreamz”, got major aclaim with a No.1 from John 00 Fleming in DJ magazine and pride of place as the last tune on the “Christopher Lawrence, Around The World” compilation!
In 2004, he and DJ friend John Hutchison(Johnny Frenetic) formed the live house band Tokyoblu. Nigel took on what became a huge task of co-writing and producing the music to be played live by the band at the monthly Edinburgh club also called Tokyoblu. The bands live set up consisted of 2 vocalists, guitar, bass, keys, drums and decks with Nigel controlling things from a laptop and also adding extra guitar on his rockier numbers!!
They gained great success on the live scene being touted as the “Scottish Bassment Jaxx” and packed out the monthly clubnight playing nonstop sets constructed just like a DJ set. This then transfered itself to festivals with amazing sets to thousands at T in the park, V festval and Becks Fusions.
Tokyoblu’s debut EP “Groove Tonight” (containing no less then 4 mixes produced by Nigel Ross) charted at no3 in the DMC chart and no6 in the Upfront House chart. This added to some amazing bootlegs have ensured Nigel’s mixes are sitting in many a top DJ’s record box.
The next chapter has only just begun! With numerous remixes due for release and new original material under way there’s big things in store from Sonikross!

Jim was a Llewellyn setter born of pureblood champion field stock in Louisiana. Though his litter mates were selling for $25 each, a goodly sum in 1925, he was considered the most unlikely of the litter and came into Sam VanArsdale’s hands for less than half that amount. Attempts to train Jim for the field seemed futile as he lay in the shade watching while the trainer worked with the three other dogs. However, when taken to the field that fall for the first time, he immediately went to a covey of quail, came up on perfect point, held steady until the quail was shot, and immediately brought the bird to Mr. VanArsdale on the order to “fetch”. He proved to be a marvelous hunting dog, knowing where there were quail, and refusing to hunt where there were none. His master, an avid hunter who traveled from state to state hunting, kept track of birds shot over his beloved dog. He stopped counting at 5,000, a total no other dog ever reached. Outdoor Life Magazine termed him “The Hunting Dog of the Country”.

However, Jim was much more than just a champion hunting dog since Mr. VanArsdale found, quite by accident while in the field one day, that his dog could understand what he was saying to him and carried out his commands. It was a hot day, and Mr. VanArsdale said, “Let’s go over and rest a bit under that Hickory tree”. Although in a woods of numerous kinds of trees, he went to the Hickory. Surprised by this, he asked Jim to go to a Walnut, then a Cedar, a stump, and a tin can, which he did rapidly and perfectly.

This was the start of the amazing things the dog did on command. When told to do so, he could go out on the street and locate a car by make, color, out-of-state, or a license number. From a crowd he could select the “man who sells hardware”, and the one who “takes care of sick people”, or the “visitor from Kansas City”.

He carried out instructions given to him in any foreign language, shorthand, or Morse Code. He was capable of predicting the outcome of future events. He chose the winner of seven Kentucky Derbies, The World Series of baseball and the sex of unborn babies.

Mr. VanArsdale arranged for a demonstration at the University of Missouri with Dr. Durant, head veterinarian. He could find nothing physically abnormal from any other dog. He was tested by a group of college students and passed each command with flying colors.

In 1935 Jim performed at the Kemmerer Hotel in Kemmerer, Wyoming. After his successful perfomance, an article was written in the Gazette of Kemmerer on Friday, August 30, 1935, telling of this performance and referring to Jim as “The Wonder Dog”.

Jim also performed before the Missouri Legislature and at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia. Newspaper and magazine writers came to witness Jim and were stunned. They wrote of incredulous things they saw and Jim’s fame spread across the United States and elsewhere. He was featured in Ripley’s Believe It or Not.

He is buried in Marshall’s Ridge Park Cemetery with a grave stone and is probably the only animal in a people cemetery. Caretakers say his is the most visited grave there and is seldom without flowers and coins left on it. The site of the Jim The Wonder Dog Garden off the northwest corner of the Square is the place once occupied by the Ruff Hotel where Jim lived with his owner Sam VanArsdale, the hotel manager. This is Marshall’s way of commemorating one of it’s most famous “citizens”.

News of the cancellation follows last week’s raid by the Israeli military against an aid flotilla bound for Gaza, which killed nine pro-Palestine activists. However, the Pixies’ publicist in Israel, Shuki Weiss, did not name the raid — or anything else — as the reason for the cancellation.

Despite the political unrest in the region, performers including Elton John and Rod Stewart still plan to play Israel this summer, according to AP.

Two weeks ago Elvis Costello canceled his plans to perform in the country. The British singer-songwriter took to his website to explain his reasons, citing what he described as the “intimidation” and “humiliation” of Palestinians by Israel.

Gil Scott-Heron also recently canceled an appearance in Tel Aviv after protesters interrupted one of his shows at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
