Russell Means & Mike Ruppert Telling It Like It Is

"You know there was an artist, a very perceptive, very famous artist back in the first half of the 1800s. It was called the 19th Century. And for 8 to 9 years he lived among the Indians. He traveled among many of them, and he got to know them. Sometime after 1840 he wrote... a book. Many books, in fact. And I want you to listen to George Catlin's Creed. George Catlin, wow, what a man. He said:

I love a people that have always made me welcome to the very best that they had.

I love a people who are honest without laws, who have no jails and no poorhouses.

I love a people who keep the commandments without ever having read or heard them preached from the pulpit.

I love a people who never swear or take the name of God in vain.

I love a people “who love their neighbors as they love themselves.

I love a people who worship God without a Bible, for I believe that God loves them also.

I love a people whose religion is all the same, and who are free from religious animosities.

I love a people who have never raised a hand against me, or stolen my property, with no law to punish either.

I love and don’t fear mankind where God has made and left them, for they are his children.

I love the people who have never fought a battle with the white man, except on their own ground.

I love a people who live and keep what is their own without lock and keys.

I love a people who do the best they can.

And oh how I love a people who don’t live for the love of money.

...

So America is no different than this Indian Reservation. You're dependent on the Government now, and you're getting what you deserve. And any time you try to get away from the Government they'll kill you. They'll put you in prison, or they'll let you become an American. (laughs)... If you catch my drift. 'Cuz you're the New Indians. You're the New American Indians. Welcome to the club."
