Once upon a UFO


I just recently was abducted by a UFO. No, but I have talked to someone that was abducted by a UFO. It's kinda funny and scary at the same time. I guess you could say that it was really meant for me to meet this guy and hear his story. He is an elderly Caucasian man and his name will be omitted for his sake.

I will call him "Jim." I first met Jim through another Caucasian guy named Scott. I happened to meet Scott a few years ago at the Red lake powwow and fair. Can you imagine one lonely White man sitting at the Red lake powwow? When I approached Scott, I had asked him what he was doing here(Red Lake). He was trying to sell a Deer head mount to the casino. By the end of the powwow, I end up giving Scott 40 dollars to return home. Unfortunately, I did not see Scott for around almost two years. When I finally did run into him, he had returned the 40 dollars and introduced me to Jim. I got Jim's contact information and eventually contacted him. When I did contact Jim, I was trying to locate my friend Scott. Jim had warned me not to get into any business with Scott, and I let him know that there was no business going on with Scott and that I was just trying to find out how he was doing. Jim gave me some not so surprising new in regards to Scott. Besides that, me and Jim started to talk about many things going on in the country and some of the ideas and concerns we both had in regards to these things. Eventually, it was time for me to end the call(about three hours). Just before I was ready to hang up, Jim had asked me, "did I tell you about that time I think I was abducted by aliens?" I replied "no." I had than asked him to proceed to tell me.

What was really bizarre before this conversation ever came up was a few things. One of the things I discovered by talking with a few elders was that there was this new company called Meg-tronics. An Iron ore kind of conglomerate that could establish new, high grade iron ore from old tailing's left from the old iron ore companies. If you have ever visited old mining towns within the "Iron range" you can't help but notice the labyrinth of old hills that dot the scenery in some of these old mining towns. What I have discovered was that these "hills" are not natural at all, but all man made. THE HILLS ARE REMNANTS OF OLD IRON ORE. When I first discovered this information, I was of course bothered and amazed, all at the same time. Somewhere in Anishinabeg history there was suppose to be some compensation to Anishinabeg peoples from the mining companies for all of the Iron Ore that was excavated. The numbers were like one cent for every ton of Iron Ore that was excavated. But, just like the power dam on the Lac Courte Orielles Ojibwa reservation, there was no such compensation. In that particular case, NSP power company was suppose to give free or practically free electricity to the Lac Courte Orilles Ojibwa peoples for the construction of a power dam. This is how the Honor the Earth pow wow was established, because when the power damn was created, it flooded thousands of acres of wild rice beds on the reservation. So, in essence, Ojibwa people got the end of the raw deal. There was no proof that NSP would give free or cheap electricity. When hearing of the "discovery" of Meg-tronics, I happened to meet another elderly individual, who, actually met the inventor of the machine, which is the powerhouse behind Meg-tronics. This elderly man named "Gus" is one of the casino locals. He is a retired Mine worker. When I had mentioned this new technology and company, he excitingly admitted to me that he met the man who invented this machine. "He was sitting in this cafe and he was as dirty as a pig in the mud," he replied. "So, I asked him, where do you work, what kind of job do you have?" The man had replied, "I just invented a machine that can make new Iron Ore from old Iron Ore." "It took me almost twenty years, but I finally got someone to believe me."
And that was that. Little did I know what I was about to hear and how this new profound information would or could be related to alien technology or aliens for that matter.
Jim proceeded with his encounter. "I don't know exactly how or where I got to the spaceship, it was like, I was just lifted out of the roof of my house." What was really startling was the next piece of information he was going to say. "When I left my house, the Aliens or what not brought me to the shore of these lakes called twin Lakes." GULP. DOUBLE GULP. That was my first reaction. "You mean, Twin Lakes. like on the White Earth Reservation," I replied. "Yep."
Why I had to take two deep breaths and gulp was the fact that Twin Lakes is a place where my birth Mother wants to return to. That is where my Mother lived when she was a little girl.

Lost thinking and intuition


I just returned from the Northwest. Washington State, to be exact. While being there, I was very humbled by all of my experiences. But, wait, there I go using the "I" word.


First Nations people in the past have never put the "self" before the whole of the group. "I" guess you could say that, in today's fast world, the word "I" is as common as school and I-pods. As the strokes of these keys try to interpret the "voices" that exist without a physical, "I" will try to do my best to tell you what needs to be told.


Firstly, lets say that, it's easier to be a groupie, rather than by one's self. If "I" am eventually deemed a domestic terrorist for the words that "I" muttle, so let it be. "I" mean, what brainwashed fool, would ever want their ideas and name, closely related to the word "terrorist?" Let's just say that, true Spiritual knowledge is earned by Genes, never by a series of degrees or self appointed hierarchy. Some people who have had direct Spiritual Wisdom have become tired, weary and or have already left this world. The individuals that are left have become victims of the Western worlds reaches and poisons. Have "I" you might ask, been selfish? Physically, " Yes." Spiritually, "No". Western philosophy's are addictive and dangerous. Western(Euro-Anishinabeg) ideas promote the "I" and a selfishness, that permeates the every inch of man.

Have "I" been selfish and self centered? "Hell yes!" Was it because "I" thought of myself first? " No!" Was it because "I" witnessed imbalances of Anishinabeg culture? "Yes!" Some of the reasons "I" was selfish at times,was because everyone, at the time was too god-damn scared. Most people love to talk about something or someone, including me. "I," however like to talk about the process's someone or something has taken to become what a human self witnesses. So, if "I" have been talking about you, come on, don't take it literally!

Institution, Institution, Institutional Norms, Ideas and Solutions



Dang. Look at this pic. I know we all have had days like this. But what is funny and really detrimental is the state of mind most people tend to inherit, for the most part of thier labor working lives.

What I am trying to express and bring to light is that, there are many factual problems and that these problems are all man made social engineering schemes meant to keep people divided and fighting. Every problem we face and encounter seriously needs much debate and discussion, as to what is law and what is not law. The modern day state of being needs a makeover, but what a modern day being does not know and tends to not care to know, will just keep him in a "death" orientated state of mind. The fictiousus state of the human mind and Spirit is nothing far from serious.


Some might ask, Fictiousus??? Yeah, come on lets be real, can you really handle and interpret the word institution and admit to yourself what that word really means . Most people do not like to admit to the Pharma-Military concept of divide and conquer and most of these same individuals can't admit that military agendas keep our society unruly by a process called; COMPARTMENTALIZATION.
That is what Aboriginal Governments and people live their professional and personal lives by, well ,at least, most Aboriginals. What I should share and say is that most people love social order and most people demand that their be social order. Some of these same individuals will never truly remember the 60's and how many people and organizations were "infiltrated" by some sort of government affair which allowed most civil rights movements to be dissolved. Written documentation has proved that every civil group that was established(Panthers, Puerto Rico groups, A.I.M, ect.) during the 60's and afterwards was eventually staffed and discussed by white house officials.
The main pervert of compartmentalization is the military and the modern day school system. I, have had to sit in a classroom for hours upon hours and for what. To be a professional student of the US government? I don't think this individual sees and feels freedom and it's associate counterparts is truly a positive statement. We all have to pay a fee for something, even if that means if we want to live free.
Most people that have read my posts think that i am a dissident and angry person. This is untrue. What is true is the fact, that, i have had the ability to see the real truths about real productivity within our so called modern day laws and governments.People that tend to get angry at my words are full of fear. For example, lets look at the wealth of the United States and who really shares the bundle of "lies, imbalances and atrocities." What this means is that, someone who is driving a 20,000 dollar vehicle or has a house that is worth more than 70,000 dollars has lied, cheated and contributed to the imbalances of rich and poor.Am i saying that i am am jealous or that i want those things; NO. Do I need them things, not necessarily, but I am truly dissecting and connecting the dots of what is real wealth and what it really means to be wealthy. So, in case i ever have a chance to own a 20,000 dollar car or if i decide to buy a home that is valued at 70,000 or more, i than, will have no strings attached to me or my family. But for now, I am still trying to do my homework in regards to " compartmentalization "and how it is reflected in every aspect of Anishinabeg life and ceremonies.
Why in the world if you have been institutionalized all of your young life, choose a profession that keeps you institutionalized? Wouldn't you eventually try to think for yourself and family? Pupillage is a disease and is very detrimental in our modern day lives on many different professional levels. Pupillage spreads lies, misinformation and deceit in every corner of life it touches. Many Aboriginal people blame the "white man" for their problems. Now that we have a black brother in office, i ask aboriginal people " now what do you think?" Meaning, that the "white man" has been and will continue to be a compartment that controls every aspect of our world, whether we want to admit it or not. Having a black brother in office is not going to change the social compartment, because the social compartment is written to stay, not be amended.

Not in my back yard


Not in my back yard. We have all heard that expression.

When i hear that phrase a lot of things come to mind.


"I'm going to rape her"


This is what a young man had said one time at our ceremonies. The young kid(obviously) did not know the ramifications or magnitude of what he really said AND Meant for that matter.

This young man and his family had attended our ceremonies as participants, believers and healers.

From this point on, when the young man had said what he said, the powers that be(supposedly) ostracized him and his family. The family was publicly humiliated in some grand-small way. The young man was targeted and lab led as "troubled." First of all, what he said was purely wrong, but, that didn't matter to the powers that be and contiue to be. He was marked and labled(oh my gosh does'nt this happend in the school system?". His father was told that " he had to watch his kid at the ceremonies."

In our Midewiwin faith, the real believers and humans are versatile and very thick skinned. We have lived amongst the Anishinabeg people and "natives" all of our lives. We understand the common man and his thinking. We TRULY know the power of forgiving.


FORGIVE AND FORGET


The leader and his brother were the victims here. Even though no apparent action was ever taken by the young man(perpetrator). When the leader and his brother were threatened in their limited tribal worlds, of course they reacted. They reacted to what they know best and what they have been trained to do from the elite social groups and universities. THEY SIMPLY TOLD THE FAMILY TO CONFORM TO THE FICTITIOUS-MAN MADE WAYS OR LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK.

And that's precisely what this family did, they left the ceremonies a few years ago and NEVER came back. Thanks, Foxy and white foxy, you really are true Anishinabeg people.


This is one problem wrong with tribal communities and worlds. We allow the dominating western-trained tribal people in to our worlds and we allow them to think and manipulate and dictate their "social orders" unto our communities. So, when a young man as myself address the problems of balance and human nature, i am treated as the "stupid kid in the center of the classroom." I am labeled as a "quack", "unauthentic", a traitor and all the crap that goes with western training, bureaucracy and thought process's.


I am not perfect and have never given the vibe of perfection. I am not arrogant nor boastful. I do know what is happening to our Spiritual teachings and way of life. That is why I write. If my writing is nor perfect or legible, um what do we say in our language when it comes to mistakes........the Spiritual beings of the Earth know what is in my heart and mind, so they (Spiritual forces) will correct and fix what i have ill-communicated..


Back to the rapist story.......


Neither once did Foxy or white foxy ever apologize to the family. Why would they have to humble themselves, they are true blood brothers. They do now allow themselves to be a real family with the rest of the Spiritual people. They have shown by their own selfish acts, that they are their own family and that they do not need to care or hear anyone elses oppinions. But, most people who watch these two(plus their cronies) individuals can pinpoint that, these two individuals are much more the perpetrators than the young man. Yes, the young man said some disturbing things, but he is one of many Aboriginal youth who have been scarred for life. Why, because my community of Mide people allowed it to happened.


When i was in high school i was labeled. I was labeled many things. One of the things I was labeled by my teachers was a "big-mouth." Why? Because I had a voice and i knew how to use it. Granted I needed some real positive guiding with my words and actions, i was still very vocal. I witness social problems happen many times in tribal life.Problems that have unmasked for the past few centuries. I see Aboriginals who allow their voices to be heard, be shunned and made examples of. That is of course, if they sound very negative and anti-social.


GAWAABIIGAUNIKAAG


The place of white earth. Recently, I have heard first hand accounts of the "Camp-Justice" partaking on the White Earth Indian Reservation. One of the accounts was related by my mother who lives on the White Earth Indian rez. She had related to me first hand a few of the events that has been going on in regards to "camp justice."

Where their is common hood there exists fear, fear, and more fear. For the readers out there, White Earth reservation is trying to replenish and refocus the bureaucracy of the tribal governing body. Anywhere their exists a private source of power, there tends to loom dictatorship and "hitlerism."

As the case in White Earth and every where in bureaucratic systems. Having a social order allows the bureaucratic machine to thrive and replenish. Beings or humans who conform to the machine be it a doctorate degree, a license of some sort are the machines disciples and practitioners. Because if you allow yourself to have some type of "label" than you are the energies in which i write about and slay. As in the White earth justice camp. People want change and are tired of the ways that have continued to govern Aboriginal peoples.


But camp Justice is compromised of troubled individuals


Yes, we all have some type of problem unfolding in front of our eyes. The problem with tribal agencies is unique and complicated. That is why we were allowed to have tribal governments, tribal governments can conform to the western ideals much more easily than the individuals who make up the tribe.


I am just warming up..........................................................


Right now, i have to go and sip my star bucks and get into a fist fight with some cronies of some sort. Maybe I will head to White Earth and truly fight the powers that be. But, wait. I have deadlines and appointments. So, I don't think i really want to get involved in real grass roots movements. I risk my name and credentials. If I get involved I will not get that grant I applied for from the humanities council. Shit. Damn. I better behave and be a good citizen. I do not want to be la bled as a trouble maker and a quack.........................................................


Want a free tazer session?


This is what is going on in White Earth. People are being tazed. More than once-if you would. There exists true fear. Fear from the tribal council, the reservation cops, the county cops and the state patrol. These are just a few of the public officials who are trying to "sweep" up the trouble makers at White earth. My friend who was at camp justice, also has related to me that Federal agents arrived in White Earth. Good for White Earth. Count me in. But wait, i have to finish this article and get the word out.........................................................


Foxy and cronies, you better check yourself and count your p's and q's................................................................................................................


Real movements are on the verge.

Midewiwin ....is coming to a whiteman near you

How many times do i have to say and spell out WHITEMAN.

Lets be real and straight to the point. White people have infiltrated the sacredness of our midewiwin society. It is one thing or more to be mixed with a European bloodline. But, there are many issues from a humanities level that need to be addressed and acknowledged. One of many issues that need to be discussed and addressed is the fact that, there is no real decision making going on in the ceremony. One person dictates and that is what is followed by the rest of the people. So, when someone like me comes around(who thinks of all people-whether they are poor or not) people tend to get nervous and shaky.

For example:
Two years ago I had borrowed my mother-in laws van for use to travel to the midewiwin ceremony. However, within a few days of arriving, my mother's van had lost the function of the alternator. For most of you people who are not mechanically driven, the alternator is what keeps your battery charged and your car on the road. Anyhow, at the same time, the bank I was banking with had messed up my account information and my finances were in flux. That is okay, money, wealth and prestige does not define my Spiritual being. But, if you come to the midewiwn ceremony, you will notice that the ones that make all the decisions at the ceremony are money and greed orientated. Back to my story. So, eventually what happened, is that late one night after the ceremony, the alternator in the van had expired. Guess what, do you think any of the "midewijig" had stopped on the road and assisted me. Hello-no! This included the so called "leader" of the lodge, his brother, the so called head helper( OShkabewis) and their clicks. Myself and my wife had already known the fact that most of the Mide people would not stop and assist, what was sad, was the fact that, our kids were with us and not one so called "mide" person had the decency or courage to ask us if we were all alright. Most people who are in the decision making of the Midewiwin ceremony are heartless-spineless individuals. They fear the government and real leaders. That is why, they do not press real issues facing the Aboriginal peoples. Who did come to our rescue was a "real" community member. Might I say, a non-midewiwin person.
From there another community member had asked to work on our car. His name was Richie Merrill, a now deceased individual. Upon working on our vehicle, he decided to make sure that our battery was good(that way it could hold a charge). What he did do that i did not know at the time, was that he "borrowed" another battery from a car that was parked in my fathers driveway. Okay, in all good faith, he had the greatest of intentions and needed a few bucks.
From this point, as you can read in one of the older posts-someone had commented on me stealing form an"elder." This "elder" was the person in which Richie had borrowed the battery. So, when i was confronted by this middle aged man(elder-not really) about taking his battery, i had said no. Than when i had found out that the battery in my vehicle was his, i had promptly returned it along with a Spiritual gift.
The sad thing about the whole thing is that most people at the midewin ceremony are fakes and false believers. Don't get me wrong, not all midewiwin people in my community are that way, just, some of the ones who have European blood and do not live on a "reservation.' Because that is beneath them and their lifestyles.
Being midewiwin is a gift. It is a hard way of life. To be Midewin is to treat ALL of creation and it's inhabitants as equal. I can attest that this is not the way most people who are "mide" act in my community. Most who are in charge of the ceremony are Sunday midewiwin people. That means, they are like most Christians out there in the world. They are only true to the lord on Sunday, the rest of the time they don't have to care for shit or the world. Because on Sunday, the Lord will show his mercy upon them. This is sad, but, travel to my community, and you will witness first hand the true-Spiritual people. The Spiritual people who would give you their last five dollars or hell, in my case one of their cars to use. But, be warned be weary of the individulas who smile in your face and drive silver cars. They are the ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Hello again

Hello again to my family, friends and associates. Hello out there to all the youth in america. Hello to all the elderly of america. Hello to all the politicians out there in the world. Without politicians, our world, in some sense would be such a better place to live. Hello out there to the disenfranchised and sick of the world. Without you disenfranchised people, Spiritual people of the world would only have their own boxes to learn from. Hello out there to all the evil-no-do-gooders of the world. Without you, the world would be so imbalanced. Hello to all the good people of the world, do I need to say anymore?

I recently have had the chance to help a young Anishinabeg person with some Spiritual teachings. This young man is on his journey to becoming a very vocal leader and Spiritual person. For most of us who recognize our journeys as Spiritual and not physical, we can only pray that this young man stays positive and pure on his life long journey. One of the cool things about this young man, is that he graduated from high school-a huge milestone in Aboriginal communities. So, as I have reconnected with this youth, i could not help but notice his demeanor and energies towards certain events. Tonight after talking with him, he had related to me that he wants to pray for his Native peoples and youth. Insisting that his heart and actions are non-selfish, i decided to give a few pointers and teachings, as to what "praying" for people really means. Praying or having the higher intuition for praying for people is a gift given to all peoples of the world. However, not many people are lead to understand this important event and feeling. Western diets, Western culture and Western norms., are always inhibiting peoples minds and souls, to make them think, that praying is less important and viewed as some type of "perfect-don't make an error phenomena." This young man, had the higher intuition to "pray" or offer some type of higher knowledge to his cabin crew he is in charge of. He asked me, what can I do? I replied, get a 50 cent album and let the young people he works with listen to it. No! Just teasing. I than had to share with him, that praying for people is a very great honer and responsibility. "Praying" is what has kept the Aboriginal Peoples of this world alive and surviving, I responded. I asked him to first share his knowledge with an elder if that was possible. Without elders in our lives to guide us and keep an eye on us as "people who pray" our communities would be perish and loose existence with old knowledge and thoughts.

Just a post of thoughts for the past few months and weeks...

It seems as if the tribal worlds of our Native peoples is in need of a huge fix and repair. First of all, how many Parents and Grand Parents continue to believe in the modern state of medicine. I have many friends and family members that continue to deny traditional healing and ceremonies. Most of our First Nations peoples want to unite with their traditional ceremonies and customs, but what i have encountered and witnessed is many attributes of decision making that never fully allow individuals to have or possess a "true" connection to the Spiritual world. Our lives that we are forced to live in the states is a sham and hoax. Many First Nations peoples are left behind when it comes to the true healing of our Spiritual side of life.
For example, Let's take the people coming out of the prison system. Things we should be asking our selves about our past incarcerated peoples is;
                           1.) Who are these individuals
                           2.) What are their experiences in life
                           3.) Do these individuals think of themselves as "Spiritual"
And, so on and so on......

The current state of laws that most First Nations Peoples have adopted from Euro-America needs to be addressed and acknowledged. Euro-America has dominated  and trampled First Nations Peoples rights throughout the globe.
How about traditional societies that govern the Spiritual teachings of the peoples. These societies, if ever brought back , need to be composed of "true-Spiritual" peoples. Learning the sacred languages and customs of a traditional society does not make a true spiritual society. It only keeps a huge void in the common peoples daily lives and struggles. There needs to be individuals that can process the true Spiritual gifts of the Creator which in return will allow these gifts to be explained and foretold to the common people.This will in return,will unite and strengthen true sharing and Spirtual growth of both parties.Most common people are so inundated with stress, crappy food and huge imbalances that to "feel" where their Spiritual knowledge can be applied in Euro-America is to alien for them.. There needs to be apprenticeships that allow all individuals of First Nations to come together and truly share their gifts of the creator. Let's pool all of our resources and money together, oh wait, i must be foolish and absent minded to be thinking that way. See what i mean, there is always going to be selfish people who only want for themselves ant their families.
What about putting our feet down. I mean,  like telling Obama administration that we want new and sustainable relationships with their Government. Let's have a traditonal war. Put the the armed forces down and let's battle hand to hand or dance to dance. Before we can do this, we need to put our feet down to all these poor individuals who are ruing our First Nations. Let's rent space from the Red Lake Nation, i mean, Jail space, and start traditionalizing so called "modern day traditionalists. Let's have our Childrens voices and ideas be made to be laws and guiding instruments. But than agoin, they are children and they do not have the capabilites to "lead" the people. See what i mean, we have listened to Euro-america values for so long, that there are individuals that actually believe that crap.

Later,  maybe some day...............................................................................................Jason lee

Man, i love myself

Seems like my teachings from old wise people has made some people very mad. I have decided to publish their comment. Of course, if they allowed themselves to be known, than they could'nt say their oppinion.

Yes, Yes, Yes I am a hypocrate. Didn't you read that. We are all hypocrates. Even you!, for trying to put me down and hand me the complement of calling me dirt. Atleast people on this Earth, in Anishinabeg aking, are starting to recognise the teachings that I share. How about you? Why don't you post a comment and tell the readers a little about yourself. Do you give Anishinabeg names, can you speak in Anishinabeg for a bowl, can you bury our dead???
If you can, great, good for you , we need more people like you. Why don't you hook up with Billy Blackwell and morris Blanchard, they would love to have you as thier understudy.
Yes, i am the dirt everyone walks on, it is everywhere and it is the cover to our mother Earth. So, do you really have respect for women, because you certainly do not have respect for our mother Earth..................................................To be continued...................
