Sit­ting Bull
Pho­to Cred­it: Wikipedia

COMMENT: Reflect­ing on the sor­ry state of this coun­try, the wis­dom impart­ed by Sit­ting Bull in the 19th cen­tu­ry looms large. Sit­ting Bull at the Pow­der Riv­er Coun­cil The fol­low­ing words were spo­ken by Sit­ting Bull at the pure­ly Indi­an “Pow­der Riv­er Coun­cil” of 1877, as recount­ed by men who were present to Charles A. East­man (author of Indi­an Heroes and Great Chief­tains): “Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has glad­ly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love! Every seed is awak­ened, and all ani­mal life. It is through this mys­te­ri­ous pow­er that we too have our being, and we there­fore yield to our neigh­bors, even to our ani­mal neigh­bors, the same right as our­selves to inhab­it this vast land.” “Yet hear me, friends! We have now to deal with anoth­er peo­ple, small and fee­ble when our fore­fa­thers first met with them, but now great and over­bear­ing. Strange­ly enough, they have a mind to till the soil, and the love of pos­ses­sions is a dis­ease in them. These peo­ple have made many rules that the rich may break, but the poor may not! They have a reli­gion in which the poor wor­ship, but the rich will not! They even take tithes of the poor and weak to sup­port the rich and those who rule. They claim this moth­er of ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence their neigh­bors away from her, and deface her with their build­ings and their refuse. They com­pel her to pro­duce out of sea­son, and when ster­ile she is made to take med­i­cine in order to pro­duce again. All this is sac­ri­lege.” “This nation is like a spring freshet; it over­runs its banks and destroys all who are in its path.” “We can­not dwell side by side. Only sev­en years ago we made a treaty by which we were assured that the buf­fa­lo coun­try should be left to us for­ev­er. Now they threat­en to take that from us also. My broth­ers, shall we sub­mit? or shall we say to them: ‘First kill me, before you can take pos­ses­sion of my father­land!’ ”

  1. Nobody’s talk­ing about and it’s ter­ri­fy­ing that they’re not mil­lions of bees have died this year it’s quite the worst loss in record­ed his­to­ry one bee­keep­er says so as we’re going to get to uh this could lead to a col­lapse of our food sys­tem that’s great let’s add anoth­er thing to the list of prob­lems that will even­tu­al­ly destroy us that nobody’s doing any­thing about, The U.S. Bee­keep­ing indus­try is in cri­sis over the shock­ing and unex­plained deaths of hun­dreds of mil­lions of bees over the last eight months it’s an unfold­ing dis­as­ter for the indus­try Blake Shook one of the nation’s top bee­keep­ers has found tens of thou­sands of dead insects at his busi­ness­es he said that he’s nev­er seen loss­es like this, the data is show­ing us this is the worst bee loss in record­ed his­to­ry shook told CBS Sat­ur­day morn­ing shout out to CBS for actu­al­ly like cov­er­ing these researchers are strug­gling to under­stand what’s caus­ing the deaths.

    CBS Sat­ur­day Morn­ing

    MILLIONS OF BEES HAVE DIED THIS YEAR. IT’S “THE WORST BEE LOSS IN RECORDED HISTORY,” ONE BEEKEEPER SAYS.

    The U.S. bee­keep­ing indus­try is in cri­sis over the shock­ing and unex­plained deaths of hun­dreds of mil­lions of bees over the last eight months.

    It’s an unfold­ing dis­as­ter for the indus­try. Blake Shook, one of the nation’s top bee­keep­ers, has found tens of thou­sands of dead insects at his busi­ness­es. He said that he’s nev­er seen loss­es like this.

    “The data is show­ing us this is the worst bee loss in record­ed his­to­ry,” Shook told “CBS Sat­ur­day Morn­ing.”
    Researchers are strug­gling to under­stand what’s caus­ing the deaths.
    Juliana Rangel, an ento­mol­o­gist at Texas A&M Uni­ver­si­ty, has been study­ing bee hives in her lab. There are a few poten­tial expla­na­tions, she said, includ­ing chang­ing habi­tats and weath­er pat­terns. But there’s no cer­tain answer, she said.

    Bees play a crit­i­cal role in U.S. food pro­duc­tion. In addi­tion to mak­ing hon­ey, they pol­li­nate 75% of the fruits, nuts, and veg­eta­bles grown in the U.S. That’s $15 bil­lion worth of crops. Shook said the cur­rent loss­es are unsus­tain­able.

    “If this is a mul­ti-year thing, it’ll change the way we con­sume food in the Unit­ed States,” Shook said. “If we lose 80% of our bees every year, the indus­try can­not sur­vive, which means we can­not pol­li­nate at the scale that we need to pro­duce food in the Unit­ed States.”

    One exam­ple is almonds. With hon­ey­bees pol­li­nat­ing them, almond trees pro­duce two to three thou­sand pounds of almonds per acre, Shook said. With­out that pol­li­na­tion, almond trees pro­duce only 200 pounds of nuts per acre.
    “There is no almond crop with­out hon­ey­bees,” Shook said.

    One of Shook’s busi­ness­es focus­es on rebuild­ing dead hives. He’s receiv­ing an alarm­ing num­ber of those hives, he said, from com­mer­cial oper­a­tions across the coun­try. Bee­keep­ing groups say 25% of those com­mer­cial oper­a­tions may be put out of busi­ness by year’s end because of the loss­es.

    “I got a call from a friend who had 20,000 bee­hives at the start of the win­ter, and he’s at less than 1,000. He said ‘This is it, I’m done.’ I’ve had far too many of those calls in the last few weeks,” Shook said. “It’s not just a bee­keep­er issue. This is a nation­al food secu­ri­ty issue.”

    It’s great it’s a won­der­ful won­der­ful time to piss off every sin­gle Ally we have because you’re war­mon­ger­ing or try­ing to tar­iff them. What a great time where we have a cri­sis brew­ing here that he prob­a­bly does­n’t know dic about right so we got that going on and yeah piss off Cana­da, piss off, piss off Every­body, piss off any­body who could help us through a cri­sis if it were to come about like what the are we doing what are we doing and you know it makes you think of cli­mate change right how much evi­dence needs to be pre­sent­ed that this is an exis­ten­tial cri­sis and not only are they doing noth­ing they’re mak­ing every­thing worse any­way real­ly awe­some stuff that uh we lost 80% of our bees which we need to grow our food which uh there are very few peo­ple talk­ing about and you will only hear it from a YouTu­ber with a loud mouth or a Pod­cast­er.
