Look What Government Did To The First Americans US Secretary Interior Bruce Babbitt Confronted

[NeSsBiCh]

governments are the destruction of the earth, they are responsible for everything that goes wrong in the world. They shape the enviroments we live in, and we become products of the enviroment. Nobody is born "bad" its all about "self" knowledge, not theyre ideas of knowledge. They create schemes to make people turn on eachother, through music, through clothes, material things that are useless. Nobody follows theyre hearts anymore, its all about trying to live in a world that is not just...

[asus3852]

Shine the light of truth on the government!

[saladfork8]

Can't wait till they implement the New World Order so we can all live like this :) People it is time to throw these bums out.

[rehwr]

Really the lesson here! Don't let the government run your lives no matter what your color is!

We shouldn't look at history as a black and white sheet! The settlers did terrible things to Natives! The Natives did Terrible things to settlers! Let's learn from those mistakes, and become a stronger nation for it!

[1androo2]

@MrDemonhunter12 - use some GOD DAMN PUNCTUATION

[1androo2]

@MrDemonhunter12 - punctuation is used so that people can read and understand what youre saying instead of sounding like a total fuckin retard. I really see no point in attacking people's videos, so if you wanna bitch about my dead cousin's quad go for it. JUST USE SOME FUCKING PUNCTUATION

[1androo2]

@MrDemonhunter12 - hhahahahahaha. My cousin's video has more views than all your gay little videos combined. Hey hey, i know, maybe if you sucked balls instead of kicked them you might have a thousand or two more views, LOL. Retards like you make me laugh and pity this world. Thanks, you're the reason the planet is shit, how does that make you feel?

nevermind you're probably too fucked in the head to understand what i mean by that... well have a nice life, don't get hit by a train now, ya hear?

[TheLaura1655]

Why should those people have to do that terrible soul-destroying work,when you think of how they used to live off the land. That was their choice and it was taken away from them. Time we all woke up to what democracy really means.

[Monasukapanough]

Federal tribes will say this about the Federal Government...yet they allow the Federal government say who is or is not Indian....they will sit and DEFEND genocide on our east coast tribes...they will sit and call east coast tribes fakes and frauds and "wanna be's"....and say only the Federal government can say who is or is not a indian...these federal tribes will wave their "Federal" card in front of the east coast tribes and laugh in the east coast tribe's faces!!!

[MrKilla235]

this video won't change anything , Bruce Babbitt is one guilty muther fucker tho hey .

[MrTimothytim]

I couldnt watch this its to sad man. hope ure goverment acts fast

[branni79]

all the choktaw have done is become like the people who enslaved them. Once your in this system its a load of shit. Knock down your western homes and stick up your wig wams or earthen homes. Re learn your old skills and way of life and live your dreams like your ancestors. Dont buy into this western world of crap, be proud and be who your supposed to be and do what feels natural to you all. Its very sad to see these vids of your tribes. Dont let them win.

[RealTalk147]

@branni79 Don't you fuckin' get it by now moron!! They don't HAVE to get shit from the government! When is this song and dance going to END! It's 2011. They don't HAVE to live like this. Again, when is this song and dance going to end! When am I not going to see Indian tribes and people in this country not thinking they can't fall back on their ancestor's ways?!?! WHEN! Who the fuck is stopping them? You got to be kidding me!

[RealTalk147]

@branni79 Are you guys trying to tell me that you need land to speak your native tongue? Or fillet a fish? Well, you all have bases in country, it's called reservations. And last time I checked, you weren't bind to them. So, you can go get something if need be away from the reservation, come back, and do your thing. There are over 300 reservations in this country. At what point does the government end and the personal fire within kick in?

[RealTalk147]

@branni79 THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO POWER ON A RESERVATION! YOU CAN TELL THEM AT ANYTIME TO TAKE THOSE CHECKS AND SHOVE IT!

[ilikepancakes555]

to HELL with welfare.

Make them make their own money.

And I'm half native myself and I haven't touched a single dollar of welfare in my life

And I'm fine.

[bakukenshin]

God has nothing to do with it. If we mortals don't get our act together we will suffer and die. Period. We are the generators and negation of our own suffering.

[DuncanDonuts3]

I find it interesting that somehow God will preserve the native tribes while cleansing the land of everyone else. It will come to pass.

[ClassicRockfan79]

I want to see the native american people gain control and take america back from the crooked government..

[rehwr]

@ClassicRockfan79 I want to see All Americans (Natives included) take the country back!

[WatchHWuMove24]

This is ridiculous and sad they take everything ,man,,, all this shit got me teary eyed ,infants dying ,mistreatment of another man and their people because of race and money ,evilness in its purest .As a man a black man in America i've been fooled and tricked by the mishandling of power ,Information and resources.I pray & hope consciousness of overall love & respect changes the wicked heart of evil men.

[israelseekingtruth]

God bless all my Native American brothers and sisters. I know that if we think this thing through we can make it. Lets stand on our own two feet and make a change. If we come together I know the Most High/Great Spirit will help us to victory. Lets get rid of sin, come to the Lord Jesus Christ, and love one another in these last days. Peace, Shalom.

[AnalieSkywind1]

Because the only thing we can come up with to make pounds of crude oil out of is plastic utensils we throw away to contaminate the earth.

[savage0swag]

I am a kalispel from Washington, and my tribe is doing tremendously well we just put a 40 million dollar expansion on our casino and none of it was because of the BIA.

[runfayalife]

I think people would start to feel better if they stopped saying, "I'm sorry for what happened" and start saying, "I'm glad I did what I did."

DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!

[LadiHawkz]

I agree as my home (where I was born & raised) is in South Dakota.

met Russell Means and many other notable proud, strong Native's

I've personally seen the affects that this video shows & I strongly

disagree with the govt. and the treatment of our 1st True Americans

I say AMEN to all the exposure & awareness that is brought to this

true injustice of American history & present.

"The Government breaks your legs, gives you a set of crutches, and says "see, without us you couldn't walk." - Harry Brown

FEDGOV can't tell where 2.5 Billion went, but they know each and every time a Reservation Store sells a pack of smokes without paying the proper taxes.

[fractalchez]

Babbitt: "What's the name of the show? 'The government is wasting your money. They are corrupt and incompetent.'"

Well, he at least had one good idea! Maybe we can start from there.

Hey, the next time I'm called into a meeting with my boss and I'm worried it's going to be about my performance, can I just walk out too?

[dwcarkuff]

The part about the choctaws - just goes to show what setting people free does. given even half a chance people will do amazing things. The welfare system itself is the biggest destroyer of lives in this country.

[CurtHowland]

Babbitt is a coward.

[2ndAsstJizzMopper]

wonder if that fuck running from the mic calls himself the usual clod BS "public servant". your servant! royalty is what he evinces.

i'm on team wandering bear. always have been.

[888music]

This is what the Feds want to do to everyone eventually...

[lgfarlow]

This is what all of America is soon going to look like.

[ftorresgamez]

Interesting, the Choktaw actually have their own country with a libertarian-esque spin, and they are prospering, whereas the Lakota live off government welfare and are dying . . . Gee, I wonder if there is a lesson to be learned here . . .

[JamJHolmes]

@ftorresgamez Yes, and the the answer to that is a nonsellout, RON PAUL!

[medicatedsaint]

The truth is we stole, killed and beat these great people with lies, religion and brute force into what they are today. Both conservative/liberal, republican and democrat keep treating them like crap. Thankfully many of them are saying screw you to us and getting back on their feet.

So many things I want to say about this issue but I'll just keep it to what I said. Thanks for posting the video.

[bakukenshin]

I think that's exactly the point. First we beat them into a corner and boxed them into some of the most inhospitable regions of the nation and then we "supposedly" reformed our treatment of them to try and help the indians because they didn't have the resources to help themselves. The reason was that we denied them the resources, but that's conveniently overlooked. And now that they are trying to stand on their own, the gov can only interfere. We should believe in freedom and let them be free.

[JumpinJesuits]

@bakukenshin also keep in mind guys "we" didn't DO any of this, don't fall into this collective responsibility BS. what happened was bad, and many if not all are partly descended from those that did those heinous crimes, but that doesn't mean you're literally responsible for the sins of the father/ancestor.

other than that though, great video and I can't wait for the American Indians to get their justice. Russell Means is a great activist.

[principles101]

@bakukenshin Just wait. Karma has arrived to bite the very ancestors of a generation of American minions that were sent out to chase these people off of their lands and corral them onto reservations. Guess what is happening now to millions of ancestral Americans and their homes? Foreclosure!  What goes around, comes around.

[bakukenshin]

@principles101 Karma has nothing to do with it. Bad financial decisions entrap many Native Americans. Bad financial decisions entrap all Americans. The principle is that government decisions are bad financial decisions by definition. The reason being that government decisions preempt the choices that individuals would make for themselves to optimize their survival. This means that someone who has less of an idea what you need to survive than you do, has more power to make your decisions.

[529dsk]

@bakukenshin bad financial decisions based on greed do indeed create negative karma. imo, you and principles101 are both correct.

[CurtHowland]

@medicatedsaint The only caveat I would give is that I, nor you, didn't do any of those things.

The US Government did it, and condoned it, and such. By continuing to "manage" these people, the government continues the same murderous policies that Sherman followed murdering their ancestors.

The best thing that could happen for them is the same best thing that could happen for everyone else: Abolish the Federal Government!

[jimmyjoe1975]

@medicatedsaint I am with John on this one. I laugh though anyone describes a group of people as being great. Makes me want to know what people are not great. Indigenous people are people....some individuals are great, some not so much.

[midpopcorn]

@medicatedsaint white people brung destruction & oppression to all people of color whats new?

[DuncanDonuts3]

@midpopcorn Pffft. All men are wicked in their hearts and blasphem the Lord God most high.

All men are given a chance to come face to face with their creator and do justice.

Who are you to judge anyone? Nobody, that's who. Hell is real.

[medicatedsaint]

"Altruism is never about the "helped". It is always about the helper. And its goals are not beneficial for mankind."

I don't believe that. But we will probably agree that it based on intent. When you base "help" on an educated, wise informed intent you wont have issues like this. This reporter is a against government helping anyway. But using the Native Americans as an example is ridiculous. And the Indians are being used as stooges again for other debates going on in this country.

[bakukenshin]

Whether or not you as an individual choose to dedicate your assets to some charitable institution is your right and choice. Whenever people are forced to help and forced to be helped, then you get an inversion of human dignity and virtue. Your intent doesn't matter. Educated immorality is just as immoral as uneducated immorality. The issue is if you have the right to order people around. I recommend you also look into Dambisa Moyo's book on negative effects of Aid in Africa, "Dead Aid".

[medicatedsaint]

@bakukenshin You made some good points. I don't necessarily agree with everything but I respect what you nicely took the time to say. I'll look into Dambisa Moyo's book as soon as I get some time.

[branni79]

@bakukenshin

yourt right aboput the dead aid thing. There is a saying 'give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life'. This system that is taking over the world is removing everyones ability to be self reliant/self sufficiant and thats what the greedy elite want. A world full of dumbed down, uneducated workers who rely on the system. Its very sad but true. To hunt, fish or forage for food you need a government license. Very sad indeed....
