Fortitude – Wowačíŋtaŋka
Fortitude means facing danger or challenges with courage, strength, and confidence. Believing in oneself allows a person to face challenges. Fortitude includes the ability to come to terms with problems, accept them, and to find a solution that is good for everyone.
One of the first lessons a Lakota child learned in the old days was self-control and self-restraint in the presence of parents or adults. Mastery and abilities came from games and creative play. Someone more skilled than oneself was viewed as a role model, not as a competitor. Striving was for achieving a personal goal, not for being superior to one’s opponent. Success was a possession of the many, not of the few.
Fortitude may require patience, perseverance, and strength of mind in the face of challenges. It involves having confidence in oneself and the courage to continue even when all odds are against you. Fear still exists, but you proceed despite fear.
Generosity – Wačáŋtognaka
Generosity means contributing to the well-being of one’s people and all life by sharing and giving freely. This sharing is not just about objects and possessions but emotions like sympathy, compassion, and kindness. It also means to be generous with one’s time. The act of giving and not looking for anything in return can make you a better person and make you happy.
Giveaways have always been part of Lakota society. At important events, the family gathers their belongings and sets them out for any person in the community to take. “What you give away, you keep; what you keep, you lose” is an old Lakota saying.
Kinship – Wótakuye
Kinship is one of the essential values coming from the tiyóšpaye, the extended family. It includes the ideas of living in harmony, belonging, relations as the true wealth, and the importance of trusting in others. It is one of the values that made the tiyóšpaye work.
Family is the measure of your wealth. They will support you in good times and in bad times. For a Lakota, you belong to a tiyóšpaye through birth, marriage, or adoption. Your family even extends out to your band and the whole Lakota nation. Whenever you travel somewhere, you can expect to be welcomed and supported as if you were in your own immediate family.
In traditional Lakota society, wótakuye was a little different from what it is today. The Lakota were a warrior and hunting society. This meant the men might not return when they went out to fight or to hunt. So, the network of relatives ensured the women, children, and elders would not be left alone. In these times, generosity was the way of life, and resources were meant to be shared.
Prayer – Wóčekiya
The Lakota stress the importance of speaking directly to the Creator – Tuŋkášila, and to having a close and open relationship with the Great Spirit – Wakáŋ Táŋka.
They believe Mother Earth is sacred, and so they honor and respect her greatly. They give thanks to the Creator daily through living consciously and by praying to the Great Spirit. The Lakota people believe that the land does not belong to them, but rather that we belong to the land. As such, they recite daily prayers of thanks to Mother Earth and the Great Spirit for all they continue to bless us with and for the great privilege and honor of life.
Respect – Waóhola
Respect for the self, family, community all life. For people to live together in peace, they have to respect one another. The old are respected for their wisdom, and the young are respected because they are the people’s future. This attitude also means reverence for all other living things in the world.
Everything was put on this earth by the Great Spirit. All people and things are relatives. Holy men tell us “everything is one.” This reverence is expressed in daily prayers and by the way we act. The outcome of this respect is peace in families, among tribes and other people regardless of nationality.
Wisdom – Wóksape
The knowledge and wisdom of elders are very important for the well-being of the Lakota people. This is understood to be something sought and gained over the course of one’s entire life.
Wisdom has to do with understanding the meaning within natural processes and patterns. It means knowing the design and purpose of life.
It also has to do with understanding and living the spiritual values and beliefs upon which one’s culture is founded and being able to share these with others. Wisdom means being able to incorporate the sacred way of life into one’s own life and to respect and honor all life. It means being open to the dreams of the day and the night when spiritual direction may come to a receptive child or adult seeking wisdom.
Compassion – Wówauŋšila
Compassion and care for all especially the old ones, the young ones, those in mourning, those who work helping the people. Care for others as you would yourself because we are all part of this circle of life. Compassion is important to the Lakota people, as they all work together and lean on one another for support and survival. This includes following the values each day and including everyone in daily wóčekiya – Prayers.
Triggered me to include Lakotaabove after reading Paul’s piece: Life-rooted thinking
So I will explain that the reason why I am opposed to top-down authority of all kinds is that I know this runs counter to the natural and organic order whose symbiotic harmony not only does not need so-called authority in order to flourish, but is prevented from doing so by any such artificial interference.
I know that the removal of this authority would not lead to chaos, as we are usually told, but simply end the obstruction and constraint which prevents us from being what we are capable of being, both individually and collectively.
But we can always get Zeteo to bark with the other mainstream cunts:
Trump the Bathroom Slob?
The president is mad at authors Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan for the bathroom scenes in ‘Regime Change.’ Plus: the Supreme Court turns a blind eye to Trump’s racism as it screws over Haitians.
Back to the Jews . . .
- Maggie Haberman: Born and raised in New York City, she is of Jewish descent. Her father, Clyde Haberman, is a longtime journalist for The New York Times.
- Jonathan Swan: Born in Sydney, Australia, Swan was raised in a Reform Jewish household and was enrolled in the Emanuel Synagogue in Sydney before moving to the United States to pursue political journalism.
See the pattern?
I watched this, The Bride!, and boy oh boy, full of Jews:
Now, Maggie is set to release The Bride! – a retelling of the “Bride of Frankenstein” story — on Friday, March 6, which features Jake in a supporting role. This film marks the first time the pair have worked together since 2001’s Donnie Darko, where Maggie and Jake played onscreen siblings.
“I waited until I was absolutely sure that asking him to do this part was the right thing to do,” she recalled, referring to Jake. “I remember asking him and tearing up alone in this hotel room I was in, because it meant so much to me. It meant so much for me to interact with him.”
Maggie went on to explain that she “had to be separate” from her family and Jake “in the past.”
“Like, cool, I’ve got my own thing going. We both started so young. I think it was just a really honest, vulnerable, what’s underneath rage, reaching out,” she explained. “Just basically saying, I want to interact, and I know that this is a place where we can do it. I’m not asking him to do something that he can’t do. I’m making an offer, which is a generous thing to do.”
Jews:
The film’s New York premiere at the Ziegfeld Theater on Sunday, Sept. 23, attracted a protest by a group of nearly 50 parents and teachers. Partly funded by Walden Media, the same company that provided financing for Davis Guggenheim’s 2010 education documentary “Waiting for ‘Superman,’” “Won’t Back Down” has been criticized for what some feel is a sentimental and reductive portrayal of the complicated issues pertinent to underperforming public schools in inner-city areas and the disadvantages faced by students from low-income families.

Don’t Let ‘The Bride!’ Box Office Bomb Give the Wrong Lesson About Ambition and Originality
Over the past several years, documentaries that have tackled education reform and presented a pro-charter stance, including “The Cartel,” “The Lottery” and “‘Superman,’” have been targeted by teachers’ unions and parents for what they saw as the slander of teachers’ unions. “Won’t Back Down” now finds itself embroiled in a similar controversy prior to its official theatrical release Friday, Sept. 28 through Fox.
“Won’t Back Down” stars Maggie Gyllenhaal as Jamie Fitzpatrick, a single mother living on a salary of $23,000 in Pittsburgh. The discovery that her dyslexic daughter doesn’t receive special attention from her public-school teacher compels Fitzpatrick to take action. She rallies support from other dissatisfied parents and teachers to invoke a “Parent Trigger,” a new law that permits the parents of children at low-performing schools to pressure the school’s administration to make changes if they collect signatures from 51% of the school’s parents. Ultimately, such changes might include privatizing a public school or replacing uninspired teachers without the consent of the union. Although the film doesn’t explicitly mention the Parent Trigger Law by name, it is undoubtedly based on the legislation.
Barnz’s screenplay has been accused of pandering to viewers’ emotions and resorting to Hollywood tropes and quick, improbable solutions rather than capturing the multifaceted nature of the issues. But Barnz and the film’s producers remain committed to the film and its message, encouraging conversation about the key conflicts. Viola Davis, who co-stars in the film as a teacher and Fitzpatrick’s main cohort, told “The TODAY Show,” “I welcome protests. I welcome discourse; I think discourse is a good thing. I think it spearheads change… And you know what, in this movie the teacher at the end of the day is the hero. They save the day. And it’s a system that’s broken, that needs to be fixed.”
The film’s screenplay has generated criticism for being didactic and cliché-riddled, but it’s the movie’s so-called vilification of teacher’s unions that provoked the red-carpet demonstration Sunday. “Won’t Back Down” is not the first film to elicit strong opposition from teachers’ groups. Bob Bowdon’s 2009 documentary about New Jersey public schools, “The Cartel,” also received negative reactions from many pro-union individuals. One of the key issues emphasized in the film was the inability to fire tenured teachers, even if their teaching abilities are mediocre and they are detrimental to students’ education. Similarly, in reference to “Waiting for ‘Superman,’” a writer for the New Jersey Education Association emphasized, “Teacher unions are portrayed as ‘bad’ and teachers as ‘good.’ (Guggenheim fails to understand that the teachers are the union, they are the members. Teachers elect the union leaders. Teachers approve the negotiated contract.).”
We will give her this:
MULTI-MILLIONAIRES, man, POWER Couple, man.
Maggie Gyllenhaal has kept her personal political statements about the Gaza conflict out of the mainstream press to focus on fostering reconciliation. However, her stance is frequently tied to broader advocacy from within her family.
Advocacy and Family Connection
- Supporting Jonathan Glazer: Gyllenhaal was one of the roughly 300 Hollywood creatives who signed an open letter in support of The Zone of Interest director Jonathan Glazer. The letter defended his 2024 Oscar acceptance speech regarding the situation in Gaza and the right to name Israel’s occupation.
- Family Activism: Her daughter, Ramona Sarsgaard, was arrested at Columbia University during highly publicized anti-war and pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
But:
In the longer video below (pro-tip: skip the first minute if you watched the one above), Gyllenhaal also explains how President Obama broke her heart.
“I really believed in him and I’m not sure what he believes in any more.” She thinks he wasn’t aggressive enough in dealing with the National Security Agency, after it was shown that their activities were Enemy of the State-ish than most Americans had been led to believe.
“I still root for him,” says Gyllenhaal. “But I feel a little hopeless right now….I hope for a leader who will stand up and be unpopular.”
In a 2014 interview with TIME magazine, where she speaks about a series she starred in called “The Honourable Woman” that centres on the Israel-Palestine conflict, Maggie said she wanted to keep her “personal politics out of the press” and believes in “the possibility of reconciliation.”
A cynical explanation for why so many minors are dying in Israeli strikes on Gaza has been offered by a respected Western outlet: The Economist has published a piece pretending to answer why Israel is killing so many Palestinian children, or, as the British journal puts it, why “children are a very high proportion of the victims of war in Gaza.” The authors note that “in Ukraine, a conflict between two much bigger powers, children account for fewer than 550 of roughly 9,800 civilian fatalities over a much longer period.” Hence, they venture, “Gaza’s enormous child death toll reflects, among other things, its especially youthful demography.”
Brazenly, the article removes the actual killers from the picture (the children fall victim to “the war,” not to the Israelis), gives just enough room to US President Joe Biden’s mendacious doubting of Palestinian victim figures (in reality certain to be under-counts) to make the reader wonder, and never mentions the true answer: so many children are getting killed because Israel commits one war crime after another against civilians, in pursuit of a strategy of collective punishment that amounts to genocide and ethnic cleansing (though these definitions, as is often the case with Israel’s actions, are being debated at various official levels). And also, because it can, due to the West’s complicity. In sum, an ordinary example of much Western mainstream coverage.
Yet there is more to this spin presented as cool, English-style level-headed analysis, complete with statistics and a chart. Inadvertently, the article opens a wide window on something ugly but important: The point where narratives about who has how many babies, or demography, meet the dehumanization that facilitates atrocities against fellow human beings.
As Khaled Elgindy, the director of the Middle East Institute’s Program on Palestine and Palestinian-Israeli Affairs, has explained in Newsweek, dehumanizing rhetoric conveys the idea that “the lives, suffering and humanity of Palestinians are less worthy than the lives, suffering and humanity of Israelis.” And as the genocide and Holocaust expert Raz Segal has found, the Israeli assault is a “textbook case” by the criteria of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention, while making others appear less than human is a typical element of genocide.
But the beat goes on . . . Lee Camp: Silenced, Smeared, Still Fighting. MY FUCKING HELL!
Eight people who participated in a protest at the Prairieland ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, were sentenced on Tuesday to between 50 and 100 years in prison. A ninth person, Daniel Sanchez-Estrada, the husband of one of the demonstrators, did not participate in the protest, but was sentenced to 30 years in prison after he was convicted of moving boxes containing leftwing zines and other materials after a prison phone call from his wife.
“These sentences are a travesty and totally unjustified, but that’s the point. Americans hate the fascist Trump regime, so the only way they can try to cling to power is brute force,” the representative Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan, posted on X. “More bullshit ‘terrorism’ charges like these are coming.”
Sanchez-Estrada’s sentence in particular has been condemned by first amendment advocates, who say that it sends a chilling message about the kind of ideological material people are allowed to possess.
The zines Sanchez-Estrada was punished for moving are “no different from the pro-Revolution pamphlets this country’s founders had in mind when they drafted the first amendment’s press clause,” said Seth Stern (Jewish), the chief of advocacy at the Freedom of the Press Foundation.
“Sanchez’s case is the latest example of the Trump administration grasping at any legal straws it can to criminalize disfavored ideologies and writings, from conflating dissent with terrorism to deporting immigrants who report on protests or criticize wars the US bankrolls,” he said in a statement.

Demands for reparations in Ghana – A conference convened by Ghana’s president and backed by the African Union and UNESCO adopted the Accra Next Steps Commitment on Reparatory Justice, a comprehensive framework aimed at addressing the lasting consequences of slavery, colonialism, and apartheid against Africans and people of African descent. The framework seeks formal apologies, financial compensation, and accountability for slavery’s lasting impact. –TRT, UNESCO, TG
Israel defies Iran-US MoU – Israel has stated that it will not leave its occupied “security zone” in southern Lebanon even if the US demands it, and it will also stay in Gaza and Syria. In Gaza, the UN warns that nearly 1.7 million displaced Palestinians — around 80% of the population — are living in dire conditions with acute shortages of water and shelter. Israel has continued to bomb Lebanon, with environmentalist Mona Khalil among those it has murdered. The US temporarily lifted sanctions on Iranian oil. Iran has now announced the creation of a new “De-confliction Cell” to monitor ceasefire arrangements, as talks continue in Switzerland over 60 days. –MEM, MEM, MEE, GSW, TRT, TO.
Venezuela earthquake – Two earthquakes at over 7 on the Richter scale hit Venezuela last night. Tall buildings around the capital and in nearby states collapsed. At the time of writing, the confirmed death toll was 235, with 4,300 injured, though the final figure will likely be much higher, as rescue teams try to access people in the rubble, and tens of thousands have been reported missing. In the short term, the country’s biggest challenge is a lack of heavy machinery to remove rubble and quickly save people. Estimated economic losses are also very high, at 1-7% of the GDP, and the acting president has announced a huge IMF loan, without yet explaining what Venezuela will be forced to do in exchange for that. –N, P12, AJ
US imposes even more sanctions on Cuba – After Cuba was just recently pressured to pass 176 measures that largely opened the country up to private interests, the US has still gone ahead and added even more sanctions to existing ones that are choking the country. The latest sanctions target the Cuban Army and other state-owned companies, such as GeoMinera, a mining company. –BT

Residents are reporting acute shortages and are calling for a massive march. –I
