The Two Row Wampum and the Rules of Law

Wed, 13 Nov 2013 06:42:33 -0500

An agreement between the Mohawk Workers and Guswenta Holdings Incorporated (a Canadian Holdings Company) has the Kanienke:haka and the Haudenosaunee community-at-large conflicted with the recent signing of that agreement. The two row wampum can be used as a mechanism that will break down the logic, the positions and identities of our “subject” in the paramount question, “who is who?”, and “where they are coming from?” Once we know who is who, and where each stand, the law of each and the conflicts that exist may become clear. Before the who, lets define the where, lets “discover” the foundations of the two possibilities, this and that, here and there, our rule of law and their rule of law.

WHY THE LEAVES ARE RED IN AUTUMN

A Wyandot (Huron) (Native American Indian) Legend.

“The wise men turned to him who wrote, then they looked at the trees on many hills. It was the autumn. The leaves had many colors.They said, ” We will tell you the story of the battle fought by the deer and the bear in the land of the sky.”

The bear was selfish and proud. He often made trouble among the Animals of the Great Council. When he heard that the Deer had walked over the rainbow Bridge into the sky land he was angry. “I WILL PUNISH THE DEER ” he said.

The Bear went to the Rainbow Bridge He leaped along its beautiful way of glowing colors. He came into the sky land. There he found the deer and said to him; “This sky land is the home of the Little turtle, Why did you come into this land? Why did you not come to meet us in the Great Council? Why did you not wait until all the Animals could come to live here?”

Then the Deer was angry, only the Wolf might ask him such questions. The Bear had no right to speak like that to the Deer.

The Deer said to the bear, “You have gone about making trouble among the Animals long enough You shall never do that again.”

The Deer said he would kill the Bear he arched his neck. He tossed his head to show his long sharp horns. The hair along his back stood up. His eyes blazed as if a fire burned in them. He thought to slay the bear with a single stroke of his terrible horns.

The Bear was not afraid. His claws were very strong. He stood erect for the mighty conflict. His deep growls shook the sky like rolling thunder. The struggle was terrific and long. The Bear was torn by the cruel horns of the Deer.

When the remaining Animals of the great Council heard the awful noise, the Wolf went up into the sky to stop the dreadful battle.

All the animals had to obey the Wolf, so the Deer turned and ran away. And the Bear fled along the paths of the sky. As the Deer ran, the Blood of the Bear dropped from his horns. It fell down to the Lower World and made the leaves of the trees many colors. Some were Red, some Yellow, Some were Brown. Some Scarlet, and some Crimson.

Now each year when the Autumn comes the leaves of the trees take on these many colors. The forests are flooded with soft and glowing beauty. The Wyandots then say the blood of the Bear has again been thrown down from the sky upon the trees of the Great Island.”

So, the leaves in autumn are red, brown & yellow because it is believed that the blood of the Bear has covered the leaves.

The Ten Mile Empire on Great Turtle Island

Wed, 09 May 2012 15:21:20 -0400

The Empire of the City consists of three cities, which belong to no nation or state and pay no taxes: Vatican City, the City of London (not London), and Washington DC. Vatican City controls the world through religion, the City of London controls the world through currency, and Washington DC controls the world through force.

The City of London (or the Square Mile) is a plot of land approximately a square mile in London. It is independent from England and is ruled by the City of London Corporation. Located in the center of each city is an Egyptian obelisk erect.

They are: the obelisk in St. Peter’s Square, the Washington Monument, and Cleopatra’s Needle in the City of London, which is a tribute to the Egyptian “pagan” sun god Amen-Ra, in the middle of Vatican City. Contained within these three cities is more than 80% of the world’s wealth.

The Empire of “the City” is essentially the British Empire, or more accurately, the forces behind the British Empire of the past. The Empire asserts its control over its colonies (such as the US, Canada, Australia, the European Union) through complicated means.

I hope this helps anyone that has been watching my updates, help by showing you how the Pope is our accepted brother through the Two Row Wampum with very limited powers here on turtle island, open your mind do not let our brother convince you the original people have perished, and they then lay seed and sow and reap our lands and families. There is no need to repudiate the Papal Bulls it was done by our grandfathers from the beginning here on Great Turtle Island.

The Hodenashuanee where not the only nations to refute the Bulls and the popes agents carrying his offers.

Hernando de Soto (Spanish conquistador), Invited Natche Cheif to visit with him saying that he too was the Sun of the Sun.

Natche Paramount Cheif, Sun of the Sun, responded, “With respect to what you have said, being the sun of the sun, let him dry up the great river and I will believe him, with respect to the rest, I am not accustom to visit anyone, on the contrary all of whom I have knowledge visit and serve me, and obey me, and pay me tribute.”

They never met., later pushing the conquistadores down the Mississippi river into mexico, however they left an ill man that wiped out many nations.

This is a brief hostory of the system of law pre-colonialism

Atl Law is an ancient oral equality system of law and language emerging from the Mesolithic Period (25,000 to 9,500 BCE) around the regions of Mexico, Central Americas, and the northern half of South America.

Atl law is named after the Atl indigenous of the Andes (Antis) Mountains and northern half of South America, otherwise known at the Atlanteans who believed their laws were passed down directly from flesh and blood higher order beings.

Atl Law evolved into the foundation of the lawsof MesoAmerican Civilizations (Olmec, Zapotex, Aztec and Maya), Andean Civilizations (Inca, Moche, Chibcha and Canaris) and the Great Plains Civilizations of North America such as Wampum Law.

As the Roman Cult is an imposter system founded by fraud in the 11th Century with finance from Venice and never was the founders of the Catholic Church nor Christian Faith, all law based on the Roman Cult including Feudal Law, Common Law, Civil Law and International Law is null and void from the beginning for all the lands and seas of North America, Central America and South America.

As Atl law was never legitimately replaced, nor the people of North America, Central America or South America lawfully conquered within the physical realm, thelaw of the land has remained unbroken the Atl Law of the indigenous nations.

As Wampum Law descends from Atl Law and incorporates the laws and knowledge of its common ancestry with the peoples of Central America and South America, Wampum Law remains the unbroken legitimate system of law of the land of North America. (source: link)

Below: George Washington Carrying the Two Row Wampum, behind a woman with an abundance of food Sculpture of George Washington and Skenandoah the wampum keeper of the Oneida Indians. A group of Oneidas walked more than 400 miles from Oneida Territory, in what is central New York, to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, carrying corn to feed the starving soldiers. Polly Cooper, the Oneida woman in the middle taught the soldiers how to cook corn- one of the Three Sisters, the sustainers of life, along with beans and squash. George holds the two row wampum belt signifying the desire of each of the nations not to interfere in each others internal affairs.

I will not make any further conclusions at the moment, but I think that this is quite an interesting visual coincidence.
