The Progenitor of Evil isn’t Just Your Bloody Bible Story, the Book of Genocide, or Fallen Angels

After bicycling around the USA for three years, George Walter Chyz moved to Maui, Hawaii. There he explored alternative living close to nature while designing and building unique structures that fit the landscape and local weather conditions. His designs merged simple yet practical structures with the mild climate to create an indoor/outdoor experience.

His Bio:​

His adventures led him to discover how opening and following his heart and opening to love are the keys to happiness and genius. Then, having lived the way of the heart, he eventually sat down to share what he had discovered.

After 17 years of writing essays, booklets, and finally his well-documented book, The Magnificent Soul, George has brought forth a landmark work that may influence the way humanity views the world and the human soul.

With a background in science and a life filled with intuitive experiences, George has bridged the spiritual and scientific worlds in a new and fascinating way that turns reality right side up by placing consciousness at the foundation of the universe.

To provide sanctuaries for open-hearted people to escape the madness of the world and live in harmony, George was guided to provide the Soul Covenant Organization. While the world continues to grow more divisive, violent, and extreme, this organization hopes to establish sanctuaries that will provide safe havens for people to follow the way of the heart with kindred souls.

George and I attempted to unpack his latest book. Actually, this book is a memory lane trip into distinguished people discussing evil at the corporate and megalomaniacal level, you know, the One Percent, err, what, 3,800 billionaires and 39,000,000 millionaires?

It’s difficult for me to go back into the anthropological record, or even with Ishmael, Daniel Quinn’s great book that talks about Mother Culture and the leavers and takers.

BECAUSE?

Gaza, man, and the evil there, not just the psychopaths in the Knesset, on the streets, the uniformed mercenaries of the IOF. GAZA, and billions made on the weapons, the AI, the tracking tools, the bloody tools of the Tech Monsters.

Are monsters evil?

I call Robert Oppen-Monster-Heimer for some very basic and foundational reasons: He knew what he was doing, and testing (sic wording) of his Manhattan Project evil weapon was ALWAYS in his wheelhouse. DO not be fooled by movies and revisionist crap.

Is that evil, this monster?

What are the classic traits of evil and psychopathy?

As Hamad walked away, she went back inside to gather clothes for him and for her uncles sitting naked in the cold. They wouldn’t be released yet for weeks. Some of those men would be executed.

She and Hamad made it out together. When they finally arrived somewhere safe, they realised his leg had been broken, his wrists were cut by the plastic ties, and his back bore the Star of David.

Donald Trump exhibits the classic traits of psychopaths — superficial charm, grandiosity and self-importance, need for constant stimulation, a penchant for lying, deception and manipulation and incapacity for remorse or guilt.

But is he evil?

If, as the philosopher Susan Nieman writes, evil is not simply the opposite of good but inimical to it, if the aim of evil is to destroy all moral distinctions, then Trump qualifies as evil. Morality, for Trump, is for losers. All life is transactional. Self-interest and self-enrichment usurp all other considerations. No one else matters.

In her new book, Call It Evil: Understanding the Trump Era, Neiman argues that evil “isn’t cruelty but something much worse: the ideas that allow cruelty to become ordinary.”

She continues:

There’s a difference between calling one action evil and calling another a crime. Crimes are things for which we have procedures—at least for punishing, if not for preventing. This means that a crime can be fit in some way into the rest of our experience. To call an action evil is to suggest it cannot—and that it thereby threatens the trust in the world that we need to navigate it. There’s no signpost on the border between evil and awful. Evil is what you say when your jaw begins to drop if you sense that a line has been crossed.

Dr. Nahreen Ahmed has now become one of the most significant medical witnesses to the situation affecting children in Gaza. She is a pulmonary and critical care physician from Philadelphia, works as a volunteer with MedGlobal, and has already been in Gaza five different times. Each time she comes back from a visit, she has more stories than any doctor ever ought to have to tell. At her speech to the United Nations, she did not include any statistics or use any diplomatic wording; instead, she brought the children she has treated — those who survived, those who did not, and those who are still stuck in a system that has collapsed around them.

Dr. Ahmed talks about the kids she held in her hands. She describes wounds that don’t make sense on a child’s body — shrapnel tearing through limbs, quadcopter bullets entering and exiting in multiple places, crush injuries from buildings pancaked on top of families. She says the infections set in almost immediately because there are no antibiotics left. She says children are dying from wound infections that should never kill anyone in 2026. She says surgeries are being done without anesthesia. She says dialysis machines don’t exist anymore. She says even pain relief is gone.

Dr. Ahmed tells the United Nations that the hospitals are no longer hospitals; instead, they have become shelters, food queues, orphanages, and morgues all in the same place. Thousands of displaced families sleep within them. Children lie on the floors, in the stairwells, and down the corridors. It is impossible to carry out infection control, and disease spreads through the buildings as easily as smoke. She states that she had to treat children who were starving while at the same time dealing with infections, while also attending to wounds caused by bombs, and while also being dehydrated since clean water is hardly available.

Her warnings concerning hunger are some of the most serious. She states that the rate of malnutrition among children under the age of five has surged from less than one per cent before the war to 16 per cent in northern Gaza. She says that children are dying as a result of hunger coupled with disease, and that even if aid were to arrive suddenly, the damage would already be too great. She says that she witnessed children whose bodies had already started to shut down. She also says that she saw babies whose growth had completely stopped.

The fact that Dr. Ahmed has experience makes her evidence much more difficult to ignore. She has worked in Yemen, Ukraine, Sudan, Syria, and in the Rohingya camps; she set up the Bangladesh Ultrasound Initiative and teaches at the University of Pennsylvania. She is not new to crisis areas and is not easily shocked. However, Gaza has had an effect on her, something which she admits and states that she has never before seen children suffer so much.

Her appearance at the UN was not a speech; it was a warning, a statement of facts, and a request that the world cease pretending it does not know what is going on. She demanded the fundamental conditions necessary for a child to live—such as food, water, medicine, and safety—and she asked the world to stop treating the death of Palestinian children as normal.

The testimony is now held in the UN archives, in the humanitarian briefing, and in the interviews given to Democracy Now!, NPR, and OCHA. It forms part of the increasing amount of evidence provided by doctors who have worked within Gaza’s dysfunctional medical system. It is included in the account that will be told long after this genocide is over, and it is also one of the reasons why the world cannot claim it didn’t know.

George has a front face:

In many books, experts focus exclusively on their particular realm of expertise. That approach can cause them to miss important factors outside their field. As a result, these pundits become so entrenched in their particular field that they often fail to consider causes and solutions from outside their discipline. For instance, a book written by an economist about the rich versus poor divide is not going to notice that psychopaths occupy more positions of power than mentally healthy leaders. Psychopathy is so far outside the realm of issues contemplated by economists that it would most likely be ignored. Conversely, this book emerged from a wide-open systems view of humanity to expose a wide range of factors that have led to and reinforced civilization’s problems that prevent peace and prosperity from embracing the world.

What’s truly remarkable about this book is how it identifies a hidden root cause that has eluded detection for thousands of years; it’s not economic, it’s not geopolitical, it’s not ideological. The hidden cause of civilization’s systemic problems is a very difficult-to-diagnose psychological disorder commonly referred to as psychopathy. With this clarified, numerous tools used to expand and maintain control by psychopaths are identified.

About 10 years ago I started investigating psychopaths, sadists and other mental disorders that are much more prevalent in leaders compared to the general population. Looking back in time, thousands of years to the beginning of civilization, Professor Micheal Hudson’s research into the origins and evolution of money provides clear evidence that powerful oligarchs have always exhibited a disorder that fits psychopathy.

In this book, I pull on this curious thread to unravel how civilization’s systemic ills are created and maintained by psychopathic oligarchs using financial power, hierarchy, propaganda and many other systems to control governments, corporations, the media, military, police…you and me. Regrettably, psychopaths are concealed by masks of sanity that psychopaths use to appear totally normal and even quite charming. In fact, psychologists have difficulty diagnosing these monsters. Behind their masks of deception psychopaths are cunning, manipulative, untrustworthy, unethical, parasitic, and utterly remorseless. Supporting evidence indicates that these mentally deranged control freaks actually founded and molded civilization from its inception around 5,000 years ago. As an American, many but not all of my examples involve the USA. Despite that, the message contained herein applies to the entire world. Many sources are cited to support the message with reliable facts, quotes and real-life examples.

Ahh, evil, and psychopathy:

Dutton’s Top 10 Psychopath Job List

In 2018, Business Insider ran a five-part series on psychopaths. One of the Business Insider articles is entitled The 10 Professions With the Most Psychopaths. That article was based on Kevin Dutton’s 2013 book, The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success. Here’s an excerpt of that book’s description found on Amazon.com:

…Dutton argues that there are indeed ‘functional psychopaths’ among us―different from their murderous counterparts―who use their detached, unflinching, and charismatic personalities to succeed in mainstream society, and that shockingly, in some fields, the more ‘psychopathic’ people are, the more likely they are to succeed. …he puts forward the argument that society as a whole is more psychopathic than ever: after all, psychopaths tend to be fearless, confident, charming, ruthless, and focused―qualities that are tailor-made for success in the twenty-first century.

Here’s Dutton’s top 10 list of the professions that attract the most psychopaths. Top 10 Psychopath Job List

1) CEO (Chief Executive Officer)

2) Lawyer

3) TV or radio personality

4) Sales

5) Surgeon

I’ve studied the pathologies, man, of evil in the boardroom, the evil of sanctions, the evil of Edward Bernays and the Mad Men that “do” coups, “do” hawking of freedom torches, i.e., cigarettes, and “do” brainwashing, all of that, and the whole Citizens United scandal of corporations, those psychopathic things, gaining personhood.

These are some of the books on “those” evil ones — you know, the Jack the Ripper types, which to me are aberrations.

• The Anatomy of Evil by Michael H. Stone: A scientific look at evil that analyzes biographies of violent criminals to build a 22-level hierarchy of malevolent behavior.
• Eichmann in Jerusalem by Hannah Arendt: A classic reporting piece exploring the “banality of evil” through the trial of a Nazi war criminal, showing how ordinary people commit atrocious acts.
• The Science of Evil by Simon Baron-Cohen: A psychological examination that links cruelty and dark human actions directly to an erosion or absence of empathy.
• Less Than Human by David Livingstone Smith: An accessible look into the history, psychology, and philosophy of dehumanization.
• Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty by Roy Baumeister: Explores the gap between how perpetrators and victims view evil acts, often showing how people rationalize cruelty as good.
• The Myth of Evil by Philip Cole: A skeptical critique arguing why the traditional concept of evil can be empty or dangerous.
• Evil and Moral Psychology by Peter Brian Barry: A focused look bridging ethics and psychology to define what makes an evil person rather than just an evil action.

I go toward the psychosis of whiteness, by Kehinde Andrews:

Take a step through the looking-glass to a strange land, one where Piers Morgan is a voice worth listening to about race, where white people buy self-help books to help them cope with their whiteness, where Boris Johnson and Donald Trump are seen by the majority of the population as ‘the right (white) man for the job’. Perhaps you know it. All the inhabitants seem to be afflicted by serious delusions, for example, that racism doesn’t exist and, if it does, it can be cured with a one-hour inclusion seminar, and bizarre collective hallucinations, like the widely held idea that Britain’s only role in slavery was to abolish it. But there is a serious side too. Society cannot face up to the racism at its heart and in its history, so the delusions, irrationalities and hallucinations it conjures up to avoid doing so can only best be described as a psychosis, with the costs being borne by the sons and daughters of that racist history. Living in a racist world is like living in a world that bears no resemblance to reality. Black and brown people suffer from a greater number of mental health difficulties too, caused in no small part by trying to survive a racist society. Kehinde Andrews gives you your piercing, wry, and not a little funny guide back to sanity, unpicking the absurd and outrageous lies society tells to keep up the status quo. The Psychosis of Whiteness is your lifeboat out of this topsy-turvy world.

We are looking right at a cultural phenomenon that refuses to name itself, and that avoidance is precisely where the pathology lives. When you trace how dominant power structures operate across generations, you realize that the refusal to confront historical reality is not an accidental oversight; it is an active, engineered cognitive defense mechanism. Scholars across disciplines have spent decades attempting to articulate this peculiar brand of social sickness, giving it rigorous terminology to match its devastating systemic impact. When you examine the mechanics of whiteness as a structural arrangement, you find a continuous loop of denial, projection, and self-delusion that manages to masquerade as objective normalcy.

One of the most insidious mechanisms of this white psychopathology is what scholars call epistemic exploitation. This takes place when privileged persons compel marginalized persons to produce an education or explanation about the nature of the oppression they face. Epistemic exploitation reproduces structures of exploitation by remaining wedded to the perspective of privilege and placing the onus of responsibility on those experiencing oppression to account for or prove their oppression, thereby typically depicting their oppression as personal or cultural failure.

As such, it burdens the oppressed with engaging in psychologically and emotionally demanding labor that tends to remain uncompensated and unrecognized. By disingenuously presenting itself as a vital instrument to the virtuous endeavor of scientific progress, epistemic exploitation succeeds at reproducing systems of oppression by, on one hand, keeping the oppressed systematically busy with accounting for their oppression and on the other, keeping the oppressed relieved of the burden to account for their privilege.

The core argument is that this flavor of psychopathology is a socially constructed system of power that operates through the collective psychological dysfunctions of man. You know I like words with a whole bunch of syllables. This includes delusion, narcissism, and psychosis that are socially sanctioned and cause widespread harm. The literature argues that this pathology is not blackness. It is the system of whiteness itself because it is always trying to get us lost in the sauce. It defines the problem of racism as an individual prejudice rather than us getting into the institutions and systems. I used to argue that this was a psychological disorder that is embedded within the social fabric of this country, especially when it comes to the structures. They do not want you to talk about it.

This is the policy of the Empires, the Iberian, the British, all those others — Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands; you get the drift. Brutes, Unpeople, Deplorables, One-hundredth Humans:

Back in October 2014, Elon Musk stood in front of a room full of MIT students and told them that with artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon and compared it to those old stories where some guy with a pentagram and a bottle of holy water is totally sure he can control whatever comes through the door. The whole room laughed like it was a bit, and then Musk went home and built one of the biggest AI companies on the planet anyway.

Well, I had James on my old radio show in Spokane:

Social psychologist James Waller uncovers the internal and external factors that can lead ordinary people to commit extraordinary acts of evil. Waller offers a sophisticated and comprehensive psychological view of how anyone can potentially participate in heinous crimes against humanity. He outlines the evolutionary forces that shape human nature, the individual dispositions that are more likely to engage in acts of evil, and the context of cruelty in which these extraordinary acts can emerge. Eyewitness accounts are presented at the end of each chapter. In this second edition, Waller has revised and updated eyewitness accounts and substantially reworked Part II of the book, removing the chapter about human nature and evolutionary adaptations, and instead using this evolutionary perspective as a base for his entire model of human evil.

Oh, that effing bible:

• The Concept of Herem: The Hebrew word herem means total consecration to God through destruction.
• Conquest of Jericho: In Joshua 6, the Israelites destroy the city and kill men, women, children, and animals, saving only Rahab and her family.
• Destruction of Ai: In Joshua 8, the army kills about 12,000 people in Ai and burns the town

Many Christians say they have trouble believing God had anything to do with one commandment that Moses attributed to him:

George and I talked for an hour, with some internet interruptions via his Maui connection, on the internet, making those “free” calls from afar. He’s a good man with good intentions.

Now now, what is the leading edge of this feces coming from the rapist and pedophile’s mouth/brain? We know the rape and child porn-rape tapes the Mossad has on him are high-definition evil makers for sure.

But . . . How many nations are doing business with the Evil Occupied Palestine Jews? How many countries had that Adolph Bibi fly over, Scott Free? Adolph Hitler in New York City last week? WOW.

Right, the faces of death, we the people, the No Bodies, are the evil doers’ marks, proving ground, crash test dummies, and Stockholm Syndrome abused citizens.

Rape of the Mind, man: The Year Before I was Born…. 1956!!

• Menticide: Joost Meerloo coined this term—meaning “the killing of the spirit”—to describe systematic mental pressure and brainwashing that destroys a person’s inner autonomy and forces false confessions.
• Totalitarian Tactics: The book details how isolation, physical exhaustion, endless interrogation, and calculated terror reduce a person to a trance-like state where they adopt the captor’s “truth”.
• Cultural and Democratic Coercion: Joost Meerloo warns that thought control is not restricted to prison camps or totalitarian states; free and democratic societies face subtle mind-influencing tactics through mass media, propaganda, technology, and political conformity.
• Semantic Fog and Verbocracy: The author examines how the abuse of language—such as endless bureaucratic jargon, slogan-shouting, and distorted definitions—confuses the human mind and makes people easier to manipulate.
• Defense of Freedom: The final sections advocate for education that teaches mental resilience, independent critical thinking, and emotional self-awareness to resist creeping psychological coercion.

A Story of the Seven Sacred Laws —

Paintings by Henry Guimond, Turtle Lodge. Used with permission.

As the Knowledge Keepers of our Nations, we carry the protocols of living close to the land. There are Seven Sacred Laws that act as the foundation of the relationship we have with the land. Seven animals act as the holders of these laws. It is the animals who deliver the laws to the People. The Animal Nation has been given the responsibility by the Creator to give us these teachings, trying to show us that we are a part of nature.

I am going to tell you a story of a young man… what I am going to tell you is based on a true story.

A young boy was troubled by what he was seeing in the world. He saw how humans were not taking care of the land. Concerned about climate change, the wars, violence and hatred, he decided to approach Grandfather and ask him what he could do to bring change to the world.

He knew enough to offer a gift to Grandfather. He came with a pouch of tobacco and a beautiful starblanket. Grandfather was sitting by a fire, drinking a cup of tea. Happy to see his grandson, he noticed the boy was troubled. Elders always seem to notice those things. Grandfather accepted the gifts and smiled: “How can I help you, my Grandson?”

The boy with an expression of concern responded, “Why is our world in so much trouble and turmoil?”

“Grandfather,” he pleaded, “What can I do to help the Earth?”

Grandfather replied softly, “I am so happy that you ask such an important question. Very few are asking this question, because most are so filled with trying to survive in the world that man has created, a world that is destroying him and the Earth we depend on for our survival. The question that you are asking can only be answered by going on a Vision Quest.”

The young boy’s eyes widened. “What is a Vision Quest?” he asked.

“It is a rite of passage to help you become a man,” answered Grandfather. The time is now for you to go to the land, the true teacher of how to survive by learning the order and laws of Creation. To help you understand who you are, you must ask your ancestors your question, and call on the Earth and nature to teach you. All that you will need is tobacco that you will surround yourself in a circle with, once you have found a place on the land, preferably on a sacred site your ancestors left for you. We have a special place called Manitou Api, meaning ‘the place where the Great Spirit sat’. You will be alone for four days and four nights. You will fast with no water and no food. This will help you to clear your mind and cleanse your body so it can be ready to receive and live your vision.”

The young boy thanked Grandfather and said he would return with his vision once he had received it. Grandfather offered a prayer for him on his quest to find himself.

The young boy arrived at the sacred site of his ancestors. He chose a place close to the pine trees. He placed his offering of tobacco in a circle, and seated himself at the centre. Night time came quickly. He gazed at the brightness of the sky, stars and the Milky Way. It was so beautiful. He finally fell asleep.

Suddenly, he was awakened by the sound of a howling wolf in the distance. He was a bit afraid, but as the sunrise came, he felt more at ease as the sun warmed him up. He heard the birds singing as if in joy seeing the sun rise again.

There was no vision, but the boy could now see more of the land – more of nature – than he had ever noticed before. He saw a deer walk by gracefully, not taking notice of him sitting there.

He saw little creatures on the land – little bugs crawling around, little birds flying by, a butterfly that landed on his hand before flying away. It brought him so much comfort and appreciation to receive a touch and visit from such a beautiful butterfly.

Throughout the daytime, the boy witnessed and felt so much. So much was happening inside of him, his emotions running in many different directions. His mind questioned why he was there, and the land somehow kept him in the circle.

For three days and nights he could feel a transformation he was going through, and yet… there was no vision.

The fourth night came along, and he asked the Spirit for a vision. Then he drifted off to sleep.

In a dream state, he suddenly found himself surrounded by seven animals, standing around within the circle he had made. Amazing how real it all seemed!

As he sat in the centre of the circle, Buffalo stepped forward and spoke.

“I am the spirit of the Buffalo. I bring you the Law of Respect. I will walk with you to teach you this law. Respect is all about giving and sharing, one of the greatest secrets to a good life. I will give you every part of my physical being to provide you with food, clothing, and every part of me to use in your life. Use my hide for the sacred drum you will hold to carry your hopes and prayers.

The Buffalo said, “I come to let you know you must now serve your people. This is what respect is – to give yourself to the people using the laws we will bring you. The greatest gift you can give your Nation is yourself, being a model and example of the Seven Sacred Laws.”

Then the Buffalo returned to his spot in the circle.

Then an Eagle that had landed from the sky slowly made his way to the young boy and said, “I, the Eagle, bring you the Law of Love. This love I bring is the essence of the Great Spirit. Love is the essence of that shining blue light that is in all of Creation. Love is the essence of your own spirit. Mother Earth is filled with this love, giving you all that you need to survive because of the love she has for all of life. Return that love to her by first loving yourself and who you are.”

Eagle said, “I can help heal your spirit. We all need love to heal properly. In love you will defeat all that is evil in your world. Every act of kindness and love will change the universe and change your world. All it needs is one to begin this change. Will you be the one?”

The Eagle then returned to his place in the circle.

The Bear then stepped forward. “I, the Grandfather Bear bring you the Law of Courage. In life you will need the spirit of courage to overcome your fears, live your true spirit, and overcome the evil you will find in the world created by humans. To walk in courage is to do the right thing – to always take the high moral road. You will need courage to live your true spirit that is your identity.

The Bear said, “I will give you the courage to become close to Mother Earth who will teach you.”

As the Bear returned to his spot, the Sabe stepped forward toward the young boy and said,

“I am Sabe. Some call me Bigfoot or Sasquatch. I bring you the Law of Honesty. As you reach to live a good life, always be honest with yourself and your fellow man. To be honest is to speak from your heart. Be honest with who you are, and whatever you speak, but make sure your words show kindness for all of Creation. Don’t deceive yourself or your fellow man with lies, gossip or words that could hurt anyone. Do not judge or condemn your fellow man. This will not change them, leads to anger, and will only delay teachings that they have to learn. Just be true to yourself in following the laws we have brought you.”

Sabe said, “The more honest you are in your life, the more tall you will become as I am as the Sabe. I live in the trees, watching and listening to see if you are honest. I bring medicine from the land to keep you strong and healthy. I am always there to help you.”

The Sabe touched the boy on his head with his furry hand before he returned to his spot.

The Beaver then stepped forward. He said, “I, the Beaver, bring you the Law of Wisdom. Wisdom is knowing your gifts and using these gifts to serve your fellow human beings. Living your gifts will define your identity and purpose in life. Your gifts are to help you build a world connected to the Laws we have brought, to bring peace and balance. To know wisdom is to know yourself. If I did not use the gift that I have been blessed with, my sharp teeth, to build dams, my teeth would grow long and I would get sick and eventually die. The same is true for you. If you don’t use your gifts, it will affect your health and life. Stay true to your identity and gifts. Now is the time to bring them forward to help build a new world. What are your gifts?

The Beaver returned to his place in the circle.

Then the Wolf stepped forward, bowing his head in humbleness, being in the presence of a human being. He said, “I, the Wolf, bring the Law of Humility. In life you must walk in humbleness. Never put yourself above any of your fellow human beings and never put yourself above Nature because she is our Mother. I also bring you other teachings that are good from your brothers and sisters that have arrived on your homeland we call Turtle Island. Always show gratitude for the blessings you receive in life.”

The Wolf said, “You must live the Laws we have brought you in a most humble way, and we will always be here to answer your call. Walk gently on Mother Earth. Treat everyone as your brother and sister with humbleness and kindness.”

The Wolf returned to his place in the circle.

Finally, the Grandmother Turtle slowly made her way to the young boy. “Beautiful Grandson,” she said, “I bring you the Law of Truth. You ask, what is Truth? Truth is walking all the laws that have been brought to you by the spirit of the Grandfather Animals that came before me. We are Spirit Grandfathers and Grandmothers who sit at the Central Council Fire who oversee all of Creation and provide spiritual help. At times we will come to you in dreams or vision. Sometimes we will give you strong feelings, and put words in your mind to speak. When you are able to walk all Seven Sacred Laws is when you live and walk in Truth.”

“I, Turtle, represent Woman, the giver of life – your Mother Earth, and your own mother who gave you life. I bring you the ways of your ancestors, who walked with these Laws. There is so much suffering today because the people have forgotten the Laws and are walking another path that has taken them into darkness. When the human beings walk with the Seven Sacred Laws, then there will be peace.”

“On my back are thirteen markings, representing the truth of the thirteen moons of the journey Mother Earth makes around Grandfather Sun, a symbol of the Great Spirit. Thirteen also represents the nine moons it takes to be created in the womb of your mother, plus the four seasons that you must follow, the four elements of life – Earth, air, water and fire, the four elements of your human nature – spirit, emotions, body, and mind, and the four directions where the Grandfathers and Grandmothers sit in the spirit world.”

“Follow this trail I make for all of you, a trail made by the Seven Grandfathers. When you are able to do this, you will become free to live what your ancestors lived – Minopimatiziwin – a good life.

The young boy suddenly awakened, knowing he had received his vision. He was excited to return to see Grandfather.

Grandfather said, “It is now your choice whether to answer the call of Spirit, my Grandson. You are free to make your choice. The Seven Sacred Laws can make you free. If you live in opposition to these Laws, you will be out of balance. Your troubles as man began when you lost touch with the Earth, the Original Mother to all life. Man became cold in the heart and allowed his gift of the mind to overwhelm the other gifts. The mind lacked the spiritual foundation to guide its thoughts and actions. It was easy for the dark energies to seize control over the minds of men to destroy life by destroying the Earth. Man has yet to awaken from this nightmare he is in.”

Grandfather looked closely at the boy. “Within the Earth sit the spirits of the Seven Grandfathers who can guide man to find his own spirit again. Only then will he wake up. Man must begin by going back to the land, your mother, who will help awaken anyone who searches for the light, for the truth. You have been given your vision, Grandson. What will be your choice?”

Fortitude – Wowačíŋtaŋka

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

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

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

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

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

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

In my county, the early birds lining up for dwindling food supplies and SNAP/Food Stamp cuts. Talk about passive and shadowy EVIL:

Evil — We, the Nobodies: And this is acceptable, no, and so are aunt and uncle and mom and dad evil for telling the kiddos “stay away from that person . . . you might get a disease . . . or knived . . . or panhandled.”?

The Nobodies

The nobodies: nobody’s children, owners of nothing. The nobodies: the no ones, the nobodied, running like rabbits, dying through life, screwed every which way.

Who are not, but could be.
Who don’t speak languages, but dialects.
Who don’t have religions, but superstitions.
Who don’t create art, but handicrafts.
Who don’t have culture, but folklore.
Who are not human beings, but human resources.
Who do not have faces, but arms.
Who do not have names, but numbers.
Who do not appear in the history of the world, but in the police blotter of the local paper.
The nobodies, who are not worth the bullet that kills them.

That’s $11.50 for a bowl of oatmeal. Imagine what our grannies and papas are doing in their GRAVES?

George writes in his book about that golden time in America, you know, middle class (hmm, how many homes were with mortgages), and that was after the fabricated WWII all the way through the Reagan Year One? Hmm, how many dual-use bloody shit were they, the middle-classers, doing?

The United States of War during that glorious bountiful economic period — 1946 to ‘88?

Contextualize NOW, 2026. Oh, you figure out the changes since 2020:

George’s hope:

Democracy does not consist of choosing one’s masters, but of having none. The advantages of Direct Democracy include:

• Increased citizen participation and engagement in the self-governing process.

• Direct representation of citizen interests.

• Accountable and transparent government is maintained.

• Elimination of special interest group lobbying.

• The sane majority overrules the psycho minority.

Direct Democracy is the only system that can produce prosperity despite the existence of psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists, and sadists because they are all small minorities. Direct Democracy is so powerful that oligarchs preemptively attacked it by using the label “mob rule.” That’s because the psycho oligarchs see “We the People” as a “mob” that must be controlled.

Outnumbered 99 to 1, psychos are terrified that We the People will revive the ancient Direct Democracy system, stripping them of the power they have retained for millennia.

And it’s always back to the UnUnited Inbred Queen-Dumb:

EVIL: EPISTEMICIDE!

Definition: the systematic destruction, silencing, devaluation, or annihilation of a marginalized knowledge system to replace it with a dominant, colonizer- or hegemony-controlled paradigm.
