Apocalypto Review
Clarifying Apocalypto
December 15, 2006
The new movie "Apocalypto" did not recognize the fact that the ‘first wave’ of “invaders" to Great Turtle Island (misnomer “western hemisphere”) was over 2,500 years ago - the original "pyramid builders" from the mideast who traveled and traversed the oceans in large ships, spreading and inflicting their male dominating, "pyramid hierarchy" system upon the innocent communities and nations in their path.
Between four and five thousand years ago, Egyptians and/or other north African and mideast cultures began the process of "pyramid making" to contribute to the previously concocted "god" concept which swept humankind beginning ten thousand years ago with the invention of money and the use of domesticated animals. Many tens of thousands of people were “conned” (religious fervor) into building the pyramids and some are thought to have been enslaved.
After the pyramid process was ‘perfected’, the “leaders” transported their confusion across the Big Water to land among Red Nations along the equator, such as the Inca, Mayan, and Aztec. Had slavery been employed in the pyramid construction process – which remains disputed, the Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples of the central regions of Great Turtle Island were prime subjects for slavery, as those humans living in equatorial tropics are more susceptible to enslavement, while “northerners” – or those human beings who face death by freezing each winter, are virtually impossible to manage into slavery.
After neighboring Red Nations finally had enough of the “pyramid savagery” and “uncivilization” however, the invaders were repelled and the pyramids left to rot and were grown over by local vegetation. Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples of the area were allowed to “rest” for a while – until the next wave, the Spanish conquistadors, came to once again disrupt and destroy nature and those who live in harmony with it.
Although the accurate historical facts are not mentioned in the movie “Apocalypto” the film is greatly directed by Mel Gibson (actor in “Brave Heart” and director of “Passion of Christ”). It compares to “Dances With Wolves” in cinematography and “Brave Heart” in its epic proportions.
Other than not mentioning the accurate and hidden history of the area, thereby allowing stereotypes of the viewing audience to continue within their minds, the movie “Apocalypto” may prove to be award-winning, with tremendous action scenes and a cast of brilliant and beautiful indigenous “Red Peoples” – actual “Indians” of the central areas of Great Turtle Island, fully able to out-act any of today’s “Hollywood stars.”

american Tragedy Petition
american Tragedy
Not since the murderous quest for Vietnamese off-shore oil and inland rubber trees (paid for by tax dollars to Michelin tire company after american napalm strafing and soldier recording under fire) and the genocidal theft of Lakota ("Sioux") gold from their sacred Black Hills ($9 trillion which now sits in Fort Knox yet to be returned to the 1851 Treaty landholders) has a greater tragedy enveloped the american people.
Rumsfeld firing only reveals the updated administration's desire to maintain in Iraq until all oil wells are depleted - despite the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi lives again to be sacrificed and the countless american troops soon to die for the greedy quest for mideast oil.
It is time america left the killing fields and instead paid fair market value from whoever of the Arab or Persian people controls mideast oil fields. Stop the genocide for oil. Stop the waste of tax dollars for big oil.

"Indians" Have Always Worn Feathers
The sacred Wanbdi of the sacred Bird Nation Peoples of Grand Mother Earth are most revered and honored by Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples of Great Turtle Island as they fly the highest and see the best, and are diligently utilized in Indigenous daily life activities, ceremonies, traditional dances, and spiritual exercise, as they have done for over 60 million years upon Great Turtle Island, the lands which they have always been.
Recently (1492), europeans invaded and occupied various parts of “north america” and caused – through slaughter and mass murder – the death of tens of millions of Wanbdi, but which Bird Genocide ceased finally when only a few hundred remained and which are now protected under “Occupation Law” through the u.s. government agency known as the “United States Fish and Wildlife Service”, who currently harass, issue citations, and arrest, Indigenous Peoples if they have in their possession their sacred Eagle Feathers.
We demand that the “u.s. gov't” require their legislators, senators, presidents, employees, and any and all agents to refrain from genocidal harassment of Indigenous Peoples and allow them their freedom and nation rights and adopt laws to keep american government and citizenry from further harassment/genocide so as to comply with their own genocide convention (Proxmire) act of 1988, the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, Article VI of the U.S. Constitution (“Supreme law Treaties&rdquo, international Treaties, and all national and international laws rights.
