NVDA Training Teaches White Paternalism at Camp Standing Rock

"I sat in on the first two non violent action trainings brought into the camp to help teach protestors how to "de-escalate" even to the point of pulling young men (warriors) aside and chastising them (gently of course) for their anger. They were also told not to wear bandanas over their faces but to proudly be identified. A chill went up and down me."

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. The 2010 People's Agreement (Cochabamba, Bolivia), led by Indigenous peoples, is an excellent example of just this. The white man has proven incapable of involvement if he is not soon in charge. He has proven himself incapable of following, learning, listening… standing behind. Keeping his mouth closed. The ugly reality is that these are racist, fascist organizations, only there to protect current power structures and count bodies. Social media metrics are far more important than disposable people.

FLASHBACK | 350.org: Environmental Corporatism

"Yet those who flaunt the term "astroturfing" -- namely, those on the left of the spectrum -- have shown a certain reluctance to acknowledge the fact that this same method is being applied to progressive grassroots movements as well, re-concentrating disenfranchisement with the dominant institutions of power into a manageable opposition capable of acting as a voting base. This is not a recent development; it dates back to the "Progressive Era" of American political history, and it forms a central apparatus of US foreign policy abroad under the non-descript diplomacy of "democracy promotion."
