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.

“The history of the American and the history of the Indian have now come full circle and are intertwined in the dictatorial policies of those that control the monetary system of America,” remarks Means, pointing out that the elite are now so out of control that they are destroying themselves as well as the country.

“You’ve exported everything that makes a country run, for your greed, for Wal-Marts, for this idiocy of just buy, buy, buy and debt, debt, debt,” states Means, slamming apathetic Americans for allowing the Republic to be commandeered by two political parties who are almost identical. Means says Americans have lost their culture and dispensed with their values as a result, with families being broken up as a result of the de-industrialization of the country, allowing the nation to be subject to mob rule.

Means explains how the patriarchal pyramid structure of power is designed to prevent itself from ever being changed, which is why he urges Americans to “go local,” uniting families and communities and preventing people from being divided and conquered by building co-operative structures from the grass roots level on a model similar to that used by the Quakers. “It doesn’t mean uniformity, it doesn’t mean socialism,” explains Means, pointing out that such a system is built around common goals and unanimous outcomes.

Here is an interesting comment from the above Prisonplanet story that helps flesh out history a bit.

Russell Means: 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”.. when Congress “started giving banks the right to rule,” and private banking interests began printing the money.

between_the_lines:
I agree with Russel Means, and I would go on to generalize it a bit.
Colonizers uses colonies as sub-colonizers to colonize more colonies, and so on – to as many levels deep as they can get away with. And controlling the issuance of currency is the top-level colonizers main tool and weapon.
The Rothschilds colonized the Brits in 1694 when they established the Bank of England and started issuing the Brit currency(1). Since then, the only way the Brit king or government has been able to get currency is to borrow it from the Rothschilds at interest. The Rothschilds then used their Brit colony to colonize large chunks of the rest of the world. And the Brits in turn used their sub-colonies to colonize sub-sub colonies. For example the Brits used India, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Nepalese(Ghurka) and other regiments in a lot of their sub-colonial wars.
To that list I should add the United states. But with a caveat.
Up until 1776 the U.S. was a colony of the Brits, and the Brits were a colony of the Rothschilds. In other words, the U.S. was a sub-colony of the Rothschilds. After 1776 the U.S. became a directly-administered Rothschild colony, on the same level as the Brits.
Now the Rothschilds rule us directly with no middleman, same as the Brits and the Israelis.
For example:
The Rothschilds used us directly in WWI. Lord Rothschild brought the colonial troops of his U.S. colony into the war on the side of his Brit colony, on the Brit colony’s promise(1917 Balfour declaration) it would turn its Palestine sub-colony(as soon as it was secured) over to direct Rothschild rule.
.. And the U.S. performed so will in WWI the Rothschilds have used it as their Foreign Legion(main source of colonial troops)ever since.

But back to Russell means: The Indian reservations are colonies within a colony – sub-colonies. The U.S. is a colony of the Rothschilds, and the Indian reservations are colonies of the U.S. And the pattern is nothing unusual.

FOOTNOTE:
(1) The Bank of England was nationalized in the late 1900s but the currency-creation function didn’t go with the deal. Brit currency creation remains in the hands of Rothschild-owned banks. England remains a Rothschild (direct ruled) colony.

means doesn't miss by much.

fred reed has a take on america from another angle:

I agree that this fellow, for the most part has a good summation. What goes around comes around.

[SanderO]

Seconded.

Understanding begins with accurate observations. Both articled represent people who see the US for what it is. The elite can't see it or what it means for the people or the world, nor do they care because they are insulated (they believe) from collapse or whatever happens next.

Unless and until we have enlightened leadership who can address the fundamental changes required by accurate observation, the downward slide (destruction.. controlled demolition) of the USA cannot be stopped. Others have noted this, and they are ignored and ridiculed.

I always thought the Bank of England was established to rebuild the navy after French crushed them in 1690 to solve the royal insolvency and then to finance the empire and was proposed by Paterson and Montagu in the times when the Rothschild family didn't even existed. I always thought the Bank of England has the seat in the City, so it operates under the Crown, not constitution. I always thought the Rothschild takeover of the Bank took place in 1815 and that the bank was nationalized in 1946 and became public corporation in 1997.

England did not exactly suffer a 'crushing' as much of the fleet was away on other duties. Torrington and his Dutch allies were reluctant to take on the much larger French fleet because Shovell, his vice-admiral, with 25 ships was returning from taking King William to Ireland for the Battle of the Boyne and Killigrew Torrington's rear-admiral was at Cadiz with thirteen ships. The British and Dutch flags had agreed to wait at least until Shovell at least had joined before engaging the French but Queen Mary II overruled them and forced their hands.

To be sure the battle was something of a fiasco for the allies with the Dutch taking the brunt of the fighting, this drew some criticism onto Torrington but cowardice was not in his nature. It was probably the case that Torrington chose to accept the risk of censure to preserve a fleet-in-being. A reasonable decision as things turned out over the next few years with Barfleur and La Hogue reversing the fortunes with interest.

Now the Bank of England was established in 1694 whereby short-term government credit was stablilised by what was essentially a group of wealthy and credit worthy Whig financiers who receive a monopoly of joint-stock banking in return for making a large loan to the government. [1] Thus was set up the basis of a financial instrument that did so much to allow the Royal Navy to equip itself with new or rebuilt ships and the cannon to serve them, and to continue to do so.

It was the lack of robust financial institutions in France that caused so much trouble for them in the 7 years war and later after bankrupting their fragile economy largely by supporting the American rebellion.
