MNN. 6 NOV. 2019. “wasaseh” is sung when something is damaged and it has to be fixed. Singing songs is a language. Once the tone comes from inside our consciousness, we activate our attitude, love, appreciation, desire for information. We can communicate with everything that exists. We can sing to the sun, earth, water, each other.

I think in terms of Divest, Invest, Protect, I don’t consider myself so much a lobbyist as a reality check, and someone who is merely delivering facts and truth.
And ultimately, I think that one of the important things we are doing is that we are not there to ask these banks to pity us, we are giving them a very clear warning that their time of dominating this earth is coming to an end.

Terry Tempest Williams: Castle Rock is alive. It has a heartbeat.

As a child, Mormons told Terry Tempest Williams that she had no authority to speak. Today, she spoke to hundreds of great thinkers and she told them of the heartbeat of the Earth.

The extraordinary speakers today at Bioneers included author Terry Tempest Williams, who spoke passionately of her homeland Utah and what has happened to Bear Ears and the Navajo land at Aneth, Utah, invaded and eroded by oil and gas drillers.

Williams also spoke of the Mormons who told her as a child that women and Natives have no right to speak. Today, Williams spoke out. She spoke out about a heartbeat at home, in the red rock canyonlands of Utah.

On Arizona Border, Trump's Criminals Prey on the Most Vulnerable in Remote Areas, While Constructing Futile Border Wall

The most cowardly thieves and criminals -- within the U.S. government and its corporations -- prey on the most vulnerable, in the most remote areas.

Arizona/Sonora Border -- The U.S. government is preparing to spend another million dollars now to prosecute Scott Warren for a second time, for helping migrants in Arizona. Meanwhile, using a $100 power saw, people are sawing through Trump's new "impenetrable" border wall.

And an eight-year old scaled a mock model of the border wall in seconds.

The deaths in migrant concentration camps and border detention by U.S. Border Patrol and ICE continue, as the U.S. clearly has no regard for human life. In a crime of genocide, the Trump administration continues to separate migrant children from their parents and imprison them.

The lives of endangered species are now being destroyed by border wall construction and migration paths blocked. 

No More Deaths said, "Next Tuesday, November 12th, No More Deaths volunteers will walk into federal court once more to witness our friend and comrade, Dr. Scott Warren, be tried on felony harboring charges for providing two men from Central America with food, water, clothing and beds. This will be the fourth federal trial our organization has faced this year." 

The most cowardly thieves and criminals -- within the U.S. government and its corporations -- prey on the most vulnerable, in the most remote areas.

Trump gave the Arizona border wall contract to Southwest Valley Constructors in Albuquerque, but it is unclear who actually owns and benefits from the corporation headquartered in Delaware, a favorite state for corporate headquarters by those who benefit from offshore and foreign accounts.

Sonoran Pronghorn's migration path is between Arizona and Sonora, Mexico, and is being blocked by the border wall. Land at Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge has been given to the U.S. military. Already, the Pronghorn were being bombed at Goldwater Bombing Range.

There are only a few of these shy cats remaining on the Arizona border. Their remote migration path and habitat now bombarded by Trump's illegal border wall construction.

The endangered pupfish and the sacred spring at Organ Pipe National Monument are now in peril as border wall construction continues, eliminating all laws protecting the water, land, endangered species and Native American sacred places.
