The United States is one big reservation, and we are all in it. So says Russell Means, legendary actor, political activist and leader for the American Indian Movement. Means led the 1972 seizure of the Bureau of Indian Affairs headquarters in Washington, D.C., and in 1973 led a standoff at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, a response to the massacre of at least 150 Lakotah men, women, and children by the U.S. Seventh Cavalry at a camp near Wounded Knee Creek.
American Indian Russell Means gives an eye-opening 90 minute interview in which he explains how Native Americans and Americans in general are all imprisoned within one huge reservation. Means is a leader for the Republic of Lakotah, a movement that has declared its independence from the United States and refused to recognize the authority of presidents or governments, withdrawing from treaties it made with the federal government and defining its borders which cover thousands of square miles in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Montana.
Means explains how American Indians have been enslaved within de facto prisoner of war camps as a result of the federal government's restriction of their food supply and the application of colonial tactics, a process that has now also been inflicted on the United States as a whole which has turned into, "one huge Indian reservation," according to Means.
Means warns that Americans have lost the ability of critical though, and with each successive generation become more irresponsible and as a consequence less free, disregarding a near-perfect document, the Constitution, which was derived from Indian law. Means chronicles the loss of freedom from the 1840's onwards, which marked the birth of the corporation, to Lincoln's declaration of martial law, to the latter part of the 19th century and into the 20th when Congress "started giving banks the right to rule," and private banking interests began printing the money.

You're beyond comatose. You ain't no bear...You're a stork dropping. If you were face to face with a bear, you'd probably shit your crusty whitey tighties and cry for your mommy.

Oh, you're paying alright, better than you think. First, USA is a artificial country...a British corporation. You ain't nothing but a number and security for the stock market on Wall St. You read history? You believe what you're told to believe, you mind drone. There's a difference between white people and fascist Nazis, and I know which one you are. You do have your head so far up your ass you could nibble on the top of your own scalp. So, you ain't much of a threat, only to yourself.

The Jesuit puppeteered mafias started the casinos, who I may add, is a front for a much more dominating global syndicate. The first thing the indian does? Do you sleep with you're fabricated history books under your pillow? The attempted genocide never stopped with natives... Every US citizen now days are the new indians. I can see how much materialistic entertainment you programmed mind-box generates. The drug of your mind is the boob-tube you stick your head in to soak up the lies...Mr. Wussy

You're a slave of the economic and control system. The firewater isn't just a native thing, in case you haven't noticed, nor is any other poison that is intentionally fed to the population. Your new world order isn't going to treat you any different just because you remain a ignorant ass kisser to it, know that. You're children and grand-children are in the shadow of a threat that plans a totally enslaved world which will make the movie "Hunger Games" look like a sing-a-long summer camp.

You can't talk to government . Third party is the only way but until the people have been knocked down enough this will not happen. Government is built on lies to your people and their own people. They put fear into their own so once again the normal farmer who like your people just wanted to live off the land and in peace. But the government wanted power and $ they would say one thing to yours and another to us. They used FEAR as their greatest weapon and still do

If we had the American Indian's at our side this time as brother's side by side we could get our countries back on the right road. And only if they vote also the right people to guide us after. We need a chief that cares for people not $
