Erased By False Victory: Obama Hasn’t Stopped DAPL

"All Native struggles in the United States are a struggle against erasure. The poisoning of our land, the theft of our children, the state violence committed against us — we are forced to not only live in opposition to these ills, but also to live in opposition to the fact that they are often erased from public view and public discourse, outside of Indian Country.

All Eyes On Dakota Access – All Eyes Off Bakken Genocide

For media sensation and photographs that will travel the globe, those at the helm of the non-profit industrial complex ensure that publicly, Indigenous Peoples most always appear in the forefront – all while strategizing behind closed doors to take leadership. When they cannot do so, they vacate the movement, work to marginalize and if possible bury, the legitimate work they were unable to take over.

Time will tell if this will ever be addressed accordingly. Yet, the doomsday clock keeps on ticking. The question is if anyone is listening. "

‘Activism’ and Its Consequences: Syrian Refugees Are Not Subjects for a Social Media Gallery

"The Italian ‘activist’ was keen on that photo, as if her social media activism career was dependent on it. As if the misery of the poor Syrian child was not palpable enough in his dejected face and his rash-infested skin, she wanted to define a point of absolute misery for a perfect Instagram photo."

Is Venezuela on the Verge of a Another Coup?

"The growing divide between the Venezuelan grassroots and global left is not only discouraging but systematically intentional."

Media Conspiracy of Silence While Colombia’s Largest Indigenous Group is Dying

"... while the press covers the shortages in Venezuela nearly every day, and in a quite histrionic fashion which ignores the complexities and subtleties of the situation there, there is almost a total blackout of the real famine confronting The Wayuu of Colombia just over the border."
