Fantasies of Scientific Infallibility

FANTASIES OF SCIENTIFIC INFALLIBILITY

CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM OBSERVATIONS, LIFE LIVED, AND PERSONAL READINGS OF EUGENE JOHNSON, BEING OPENED TO DISCUSSION, CHALLENGES, SUPPORT, OR WHATEVER…

By Eugene Johnson

SCIENCE

There are many “theories” that Native Americans committed genocide amongst each other and thus, the American genocide of Indians is perfectly OK. It is rarely stated as such, but more often than not this is the insinuated meaning. Where do these academics come up with these hypotheses?

Let’s visit one of my favorite archaeological anthropological misinformation campaigns, Kennewick Man. When Jamie Chatters discovered Kennewick Man, he stated Kennewick Man was white. How did he come to that conclusion? Because he didn’t have the typical skull of an indigeous person as stated through the alleged science of archaeology, Chatters decided he was white. In a well publicized statement about the identity of his discovery, Chatters stated he was watching “Star Trek: the Next Generation,” saw Patrick Stewart and said, “There’s my Kennewick Man." Thus, it is commonly believed that Kennewick Man is white. This, in spite of the fact that I was told by a former Ph.D. candidate in the field of archaeology and anthropology, David Liberty (six months from his dissertation he resigned over what he alleges to be racism around the Kennewick Man case as he was studying under Bonnichsen at the time, the man who came to head the case), told me that there is more diversity of skull shape and size within a particular racial group than there is between the racial groups.

Kennewick Man was dated at 9,000 years old. Radio carbon dating has been proven inaccurate especially where rates of carbon and radiation are higher than natural. There was a boat race going on in the area and the site was down stream from the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. When I confronted Chatters with this information, he said I was wrong and that radio carbon dating is accurate.

There were also no site reports made. No archaeology. No site studies that corroborate the rest of the data collected. However, it is known that the remains of five or so others stolen from the area by Chatters were around 200 years old.

Kennewick Man also had an arrow head in his thigh bone that is stated to have been made only in a certain time area. Did Indians recycle? Could that arrow head have been picked up and attached to an arrow shaft centuries later? Is it possible that someone 200 years ago knew how to make arrow head like that? All legitimate questions that are not considered because, Chatters, having a degree (in prehistoric climatology or something like that) is infallible.

Thus, the theory that follows and is now commonly accepted amongst the unquestioning populace is this: White folk were in the western hemisphere before Indians and thus Indians came out of Asia on the Bering Land Sea Bridge (again, no substantiating evidence of this theory either but lots to negate it) and slaughtered out the truly good white folk. Then, Indians slaughtered each other and stole each others stolen from white man lands and thus, the genocide enacted by the great white master race is perfectly legitimate. However, white academics who seem to be mathematically challenged don’t seem to be able to put two and two together. If the current white lead genocide against Indians is OK because Indians committed genocide, what is to stop a genocide against the genocidal white folk? And, since pre-emptive war was made perfectly legal by team Bush and Cheney, what is to stop folk from taking on a pre-emptive war against the U.S. especially since it faces economic collapse? Wouldn’t said pre-emptive war be perfectly legal?

To quote Robert McNamara when talking with Colonel Lemay about the firebombings of Japan, (I paraphrase) “If we win the war we’ll be heroes. If we lose the war we’d be tried as war criminals and executed.”

So now we have a completely fabricated history of what happened in the Western hemisphere backed up by extremely faulty science. What is fun for me is to bring this issue up in front of folk you think would know better and you can hear their butt holes pucker when you go at them with such crazy and stupid things as ACTUAL FACT! It amazes me how folk see the great science god as infallible as the pope. They seem to forget that it was a pope who told the world that he is the infallible word of god, it wasn’t god or an outsider that declared this cultural norm. And this norm is perpetuated upon whatever god the public sees fit, in this case the alleged sciences of archaeology and anthropology.

ACADEMIA

Academics often come to us whose roots are in lesser society and tell us what we are all about without ever asking us or being respectful in any way shape or form. They also seem to forget that the alleged sciences of archaeology and anthropolgy ARE ROOTED in proving that the white race is indeed the master race. This root is institutionalized to the extent that folk simply believe it to be true without exception. Infallible.

I have heard the story hundreds of times that folk sometimes know their teachers to be wrong, but if they question them they can compromise their grade and thus not be able to move on. Mine was when I did a book report about Columbus in second grade. I knew without having read or been told that a lot of nasty shit had to have happened in order to make us Indians less populace as the white folk and since I was the only Indian in the school, I would not have had a whole lot of defenders should I have questioned the status quo. Thus I started, “Columbus was a great man.” You know that the ideals of your teacher, who has a degree and alleged qualifications to teach under an INSTITUTIONALIZED setting, cannot be wrong. You are taught AUTHORITY is always right, infallible, and should never be questioned. You are taught that a theory based on one bit if bastardized and faulty evidence is true because a (usually white male) person with a degree and education in what is seen as HIGHER is as infallible as the pope because they have some letters after their name.

However, should said person with letters after their name do anything crazy like challege the infallible institution of higher education and the money it makes and the corrupition and misinformation it provides in order to serve the few at the expense of the students, then said person has to be excommunicated as if they were within the confines of, dare I say…A RELIGION! Enter Ward Churchill.

WARD CHURCHILL

Since Ward Churchill is an in your face academic who backs his information with such stupid and unacceptable things as FACTS, all of which challenge the academic status quo and the American cultural status quo, Ward Churchill had to be fired in what is obviously an attempt to shoot his works down. To quote James Craven, a Blackfoot academic in Economics and author of the indictment of the governments of the United States and Canada for the crimes of genocide, “to put a poison pill in the body of his work.” If any of you have ever read anything written by Ward Churchill, you have noticed that he has a lot of notations, probably more than any other person ever within the field of academia. In other words, he really backs his work up. If the alleged higher education system has its way, academics will no longer be allowed to quote from his work. They will, however, in the fields of archaeology and anthropology, be able to quote Carlos Castenada, a PROVEN FRAUD who has abslutely NOTHING to back up his works around Don Juan. Interesting, isn’t it?

What a lot of academics base their accusations of Native Americans committing genocide on is the alleged civilizations of meso-America. What they usually state is that since Aztecs, etc., committed genocide, it is OK for the Euros to commit genocide against Indians. This is more insinuated than actually blurted out. What said academics fail to note, however, is that their predecessors wiped out the Aztecs and almost all of the information about them and their culture. Aztecs had vast libraries. Vast information store houses. A vast history, almost all of it destroyed by the alleged master Euro race. What is left is like the blink of an eye of ones lifetime. When the Euro slaughter was started by that piece of crap Cortez, the Aztec warriors didn’t fight back. The reason being was that they had a very strict code of warfare from what I read in “American Holocaust” by David Stannard. Warfare was practiced in a balanced form of equal amounts of fighters with equal weapons on both sides out of the way of civilian populace. What they saw the Spaniards doing was so offensive that they refused to take up arms against the assholes. But wait, a white male academic with some letters behind his name stated that the Aztecs were genocidal. How are strict codes of warfare genocidal? Oh well, one should never question the infallible white males with letters behind their names.

SOME CONCLUSIONS

So, here are my conclusions:

Academics, especially white male academics, in the commonly accepted fields of the alleged sciences of archaeology and anthropology are INFALLIBLE just like the pope. Those who preach the messages of these white male academics are just as infallible. Those who question the theories set forth by ifallible white males with letters behind their names are simply wrong because these folks are too uneducated to understand the infalliblity of said white males.

Science is NEVER wrong and should NEVER be challenged…EVER!

Genocide is OK because it has been committed throughout time, unless, of course, folk decide to commit genocide against white males ESPECIALLY Americans, then it would be wrong.

Since science claims that some folk in the Western Hemisphere committed genocide because they said so, they can thus paint the whole indigenous population as genocidal. However, many tribes were NOT genocidal, and thus, NO peoples in the Western Hemisphere ever committed genocide. One should be able to make the same conclusion as the first sentence in the second sentence because it is true that some indigenous populations were not genocidal. The only difference of my conclusion from the genocidal conclusion is that I am not a white man nor do I have letters after my name nor is my conclusion based in justifying the genocidal behaviors of my particular nation.

LAW

Enter the law.

Fact. Indians were here prior to the arrival of Europeans in 1492, thus, Indians, according to the LAW, were possessors of the land (this is the legal sense).

Provable fact. The Euros started a mass extermination campaign to steal the land and its resources from the indigenous people. Mass murder has been illegal for centuries in many but not all cultures. In 1942 the name “genocide” was given to it.

Provable fact. The U.S. constitution, article 6, section 2, states “treaties are the supreme law of the land.” Since the U.S. has violated each and every treaty with the indigenous nations of this country according to a study headed by Congressman Daniel Inouye, legally all of the United States and Canada are occupied lands illegally belonging to the indigenous nations therein.

FURTHER UNEDUCATED CONCLUSIONS

All the lands of the United States are illegally occupied by the U.S. The U.S. has committed acts of genocide to steal the land, a genocide which continues TO THIS DAY!

Remember when you were a kid and you did something wrong? What did you do? You lied, misinformed, or when it came close to the truth coming out, you minimize your action. “I don’t know what happened to your gum. Bobby must have taken it. The wrapper under my pillow…ummm…Bobby put it there. The gum in my mouth, well, you see, umm…Bobby was chewing it, spit it out, I found it and started chewing it myself. Yeah. That’s it. That’s the ticket!”

A good example of this in U.S. genocidal behavior is the U.S. refused to sign the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide until 1988, 40 years after it was drafted. When they did so, they did so with exemptions known as the Helms, Lugar, Hatch exemptions which basically state that the constitution as interpreted by the U.S. trumps international law. At the Nuremburg Trials, the Nazi’s used the same argument. They didn’t break any German Laws in committing genocide. Then comes the question: Why would the U.S. state that U.S. law trumps international law if they haven’t done anything genocidal?

Said genocidal actions must be justified in various arenas of U.S. culture; law, religion, SCIENCE, etc.

Thus, I conclude that the alleged sciences of archaeology and anthropology are little more than justification of the U.S. crime of genocide. They minimalize by saying things like there weren’t more than 1 million Indians here before Columbus. How do they know this? As stated by some of these alleged scientists, “There just couldn’t have been more than one million.” In other words, they made it up. But since they are white men with letters behind their names, they are as infallible as the pope.

When one reads the work of Vine Deloria, Jr., “Red Earth, White Lies” about the alleged sciences aforementioned, one understands that these guys make a lot of this stuff up. But since it is considered a science, and since the U.S. culture needs to justify their current ILLEGAL occupation of lands that do not belong to them and the genocide done to achieve said occupation, it is considered fact.

“It wasn’t me, it was Bobby. That gum in my mouth I found after he had already chewed it, yeah. You believe me, don’t you?”

Fun With Killing

The company formerly known as Blackwater, now called Xe in order to step away from the bad press they have gotten for their many mass murders of civilians around the world for the United States Government, has been in the news again. They stole weapons from the U.S. government using the name of a South Park character. Maybe it was "Mr. Hanky." Anyway, as I'm sure you've heard, a few of these weapons were used to murder civilians in Afghanistan in a drunken killing spree by some of the Blackwater employees, now Xe employees. But that was only a few of the hundreds of weapons stolen. My theory is that this corporation of mass murder, Xe, sold them. Just a theory, but I bet they're doing a little illegal arms dealing. Whaddya think?

Anyway, my main issue here in this tiny post is that I know Xe, formerly Blackwater, will get away with this crime just like they have all their other crimes. Murder, rape, and theivery are highly profitable if you have the right connections, especially in the United States Government. The shit that is going on for them now is nothing but show. They'll get away with their crimes and not only that, they will become even more profitable. Just wait and see. It is a pattern.

Christians. Funny folk. Claim to be "pro-life" because god said "thou shalt not kill," and then they run around slaughtering all kinds of folk and make all sorts of money off of it.

Catch Word

Why do complex issues
have to be put in such simple terms
to keep the people simple minded?

Pro-life? Really?
What about children starving to death,
being bombed
raped and abused,
tortured and imprisoned?
Pro-life? Really?

Pro-choice.
In the land
of alleged freedom
women,
the human gateways of life
are told they have no right
over their bodies.
Their bodies are the property of others
or men
and do not belong to them.

Obomber (or Bush, or Cheney)
or any alleged leader, for that matter,
slaughter thousands, MILLIONS, a year
and more often than not,
these alleged leaders are anti-abortion.

CAN'T KILL 'EM
OR RAPE 'EM
IFFEN THEY AIN'T
LIVIN'!

Is this Pro-Life?

Sanctity

It must mean something different
than in the Christian sense.

How is it that Walt Whitman
having sex with other men
could destroy the "sanctity" of marriage?

Do you mean sanctity in the sense of
beating, raping, and killing your spouse
as some marriages do?
Do you mean the lifelong beauty
of some non-christian marriages?
Do you mean marriages are sacred
where a parent beats and rapes their children?
or kills them?

How is Walt Whitman having sex with a man
going to destroy the Love between a man and a woman?
How are gays and lesbians
which to my limited understanding
have been around throughout history
destroying the Love between my wife and I?

And why is it all marriage is considered sacred
when there are also marriages of abuse?
When there are marriages without Love?
And how can marraiges of Love
be so easily destroyed by people of the same genders
having sex or being in Love with each other?

"You have some 'splainin' to do, Lucy."

Creature of Habit

1.
One boiled egg
One grapefruit
One piece of toast.

A glass of water,
a cup of coffee with honey and cream,
a cup of lemon ginger tea.

Vitamins and other health items

2.
Check e-mails,
check my bank account,
check my library account,
read news and or other blogs

3.
Prepare my book and lunch bags:
carrots, celery, apples, sandwich,
maybe other goodies.
to go cup of coffee
drive to work

4.
I love listening to books on CD
while driving three days a week to Eugene.
I love driving to Eugene
three days a week
so I can listen to books on CD.

5.
Red tail hawks
sit on fences and in trees
along I-5.
Sometimes I get to see them catch
and not release.

6. House of Death
I live in a
house of death.
Here you must expand your definition
of what a house of death is.
This is not a house where gruesome murders have taken place.
No, you must expand you mind
around an ever expanding definition.
Don't limit yourself to imagining a
house of death
as a horrible thing.

My wife is a hospice nurse,
she helps people die.
Her son picks up
dead people.
This is a house of death
but not a horrible disgusting tragic event
but a beautiful caring loving house.

Were I to die,
I would want my wife
to help me journey down that path
kiss my lips in one final act of Love.
Her son would carry me to the fire
and they would return me to the earth
preferably around Lower Falls.

7.
But,
I am a creature of habit
and old habits die hard
and this old habit will not be going
any time soon
at least that is what I have been told
and I will enjoy the habits
of Love I feel and find in this house
vibrant and out in the open
or hidden in a surprise
in a dusty forgotten corner.

8.
Shower,
eat dinner,
brush my teeth.
"Well,
I'm off to bed.
See you when you come to bed, Beautiful."
Kiss wife goodnight,
slip under the covers,
dream...

Smoke 'em If You Can


I still feel the desire
to smoke pot from time to time

Not daily
like I used to
to ease the pain of healing my soul

But just time to time
when the urge hits me

To feel that dive down
into uncontrollable stupidity
where for the first five or ten minutes
I can't put two words together
to form a coherent sentence
then...

I can ride comfortably into whatever activity I so desired:
dancing, watching TV, cooking,
cleaning, laughing, the art of conversation,
reading, walking, riding my bike,
shopping, working, taking the bus...

I could always do anything when high
sometimes better, like my rhythm,
sometimes not,
but it just felt good.

I can drink
if I wanted to
and do occasionally have a beer or a glass of wine

If I wanted,
I could be like my dad
who drank himself to death
all the while working for his money.
That's legal!

If I smoke pot
they random at my work
I could lose my job
so I don't

When I was young
and I would occasionally go to a bar
and most of the time
I would feel the desire to fight
I never did
but the desire was there

When I was high
I just enjoyed life

I can and do enjoy life without it.

And the sex!

Harry Anschlinger
the first drug czar
being a good christian man
hated three types of people.
He hated blacks because they were black humans and not slaves.
He hated Mexicans because they had good times.
He hated jazz musicians because they didn't play good christian hymns.
He noticed these three types of people had one thing in common,
many smoked pot.
Unlike alcohol,
pot wasn't killing them off,
thus he worked much of his career
making marijuana illegal.

And thus
from time to time
I only think of getting high
and just thinking about it is fine
as one doesn't get addicted to the stuff
and thinking about it
doesn't lose me my job.

I Will Never Title a Poem After Its First Line

I will never title a poem after its first line
As I drive down the road
listening to a bland reader
giving voice to
Walt Whitman's
"Leaves of Grass,"

"To the Garden the World"
To the garden the world

"From Pent-Up Aching Rivers"
From pent-up aching rivers

For some reason this just annoys me
for some reason this just annoys me

thus

I will never title a poem after its first line

Mind you

There is power
in repeating the word
there is power in
repeating the word
there is power
in repeating
the word

But to come out of the chute with it
just annoys me

Then again,
it could just be
the annoying voice of the reader
who gives life
(somewhat)
to the words
of this great writer
whose subject matter
you would think
would have gotten him murdered
considering the times he had written it in.

Still,

I will never title a poem after its first line.
