hi there everyone
hope you are having a lovely day

in just a few months it will be the tenth anniversary of the raid at Camp Coldwater.
if you would like to donate supplies to help out with the Potlatch 2.0 planned to mark this milestone, please stay tuned.

also please note: on 10-11-08 you will be in good company if you speak up about the evils of irresponsible surveillance. I will post more info on this when I can.

here is a handy dandy form for folks who feel like complaining to the feds about how they have been treated by a lending institution.

hopefully your life story has not been as rich as mine in lending industry adventures. if so, I hope you will keep Shouseki gun laws in mind when musing on your past and present circumstances. using a gun to clear your head of these stories will not wash with the Shouseki authorities if it can be proven that you had even a teensy bit of ability to use a pen or pencil to accomplish the same goal.

more lending industry fairy tales at 11.

Love, Suzy

hi everyone. now I am ready to tell some lending industry adventure stories. I hope these will be useful to you. I hope you will find some good info within my stories which will help you accumulate a good credit rating within your credit rating framework of choice.*

now since this is a lending industry adventure story, you should have a hanky and a pen within easy reach. please, please, please do not keep a loaded gun within easy reach if you are currently shopping for seppuku options, no matter how casually. the rivers of misery in the tale I am about to tell could ooze into your brain and accidentally trigger a Shouseki gun law violation, to wit: the law in which persons shall not use a self-inflicted firearm wound to settle a debt with a credit card company.

so now that we have the rules of the storytelling parlor more or less laid out, here is how my tale begins: Muka-a-a-a-a-ashi mukashi, way back in the day of one forever ago, a little Someone walked into a lending institution and struck what she though was a fabulous deal with an associate there. this deal would enable food, ikigai farming tools, etc. to flow to the Someone's household on the basis of something called "credit", which was extended to the Someone on the basis of her having something called "income".

to be continued....

happy 9-20

hi everyone, happy 9-20. hope it is a beautiful day where you are.

things here are fine. Cleo is fine, I am fine, and feel ready to begin sharing tales of my adventures with the lending industry soon. if you have some lending industry tales to share, by all means please begin documenting them now as the Traces library will be harvesting such stories in the near future for use in creating the Big Mountain branch.

ja ne, have a beautiful day. -Suzy

hi everyone
I hope you are having a beautiful day

it is a lovely one on the shores of the reservoir here. the surface of the water looks nice, with no visible gasoline. great blue herons have been flying about in rather impressive numbers. and every day is Turkey Scratch!

I am working to establish a museum & library of Big Mountain culture in this near-paradise. if you wish to assist in this endeavor, there are many ways you can help. if you have access to United States currency and wish to buy a rug or painting to donate to the museum I highly recommend Gallery One Eleven.

Gifts of artwork, real estate, etc. are also being sought as a means of establishing this museum, so if you are in a burdensome ownership situation with real estate or art perhaps it is a good time to "go Zen" and divest of some of the things that are weighing you down.

Folks at the Roma Rez on Travianna Farm will be glad to help you get a clearer picture of how your donation to this project might create a win-win cultural jackpot machine which will keep functioning for years to come.

Hi everyone,

The image above was taken from the thinkprogress.org website and shows a scene from the protests happening right now in Minnesota.

I have only a bit of time to relay news, but here is what I have:

1. The Dakota are back at the Coldwater Spring location of the Minnehaha Free State, and are asking for media support.

2. Emergency library design support has been requested for the Coldwater Spring site and I am working to bring infrastructure there ASAP.

Please help pray for all those affected by events in the land of Smoky Waters, and the realms that surround it.

Namaste
Suzy

hi everyone
this is a picture of a 17-year-old who was brutally kicked and beaten by cops while peacefully trying to leave an RNC protest.

the Minnesota Independent has details on this and other police brutality taking place in the Twin Cities.

please help pray for Keith, his family, and for the sanity of all those who choose to participate in the censorship of events like this.

namaste, God bless. -Suzy

Calling all prayer leaders & aspiring shamans

Aloha folks
Here are some articles about the violence and repression happening in Minnesota

Police state on display in Minneapolis
Police brutality at National Republican Convention is out of control

I hope that none of you will feel too discouraged or anxious by these stories. If you do start fretting, please try to relax and take a deep breath and look to your nearest prayer leader for cues about how all this might fit in with Katuah's plan for self-healing.

If you are a seasoned prayer leader, please be aware that your help is needed, and has been specifically requested, by some folks who are working to create a new community near Ayuwa'si, Katuah. Prayer leaders and others who are weary of brutality and oppression should know that folks in & around Ayuwa'sishima are working as we speak to create an ocean of welcome mats that do a bit more than just offer that one word to those who have the ability to participate in the healing of our Nation.

This is perhaps an ideal time to reflect on the Ghost Dance, and on the promises made by Wovoka to his people in a time of extreme suffering.

Namaste, God bless, thanks for reading.
Suzy

hi everyone
I hope you are doing well, and hanging tough, but not too tough

please remember, if you can, all our brothers and sisters in need of your compassion today. like the folks who were not able to flee the Gulf to stay out of the path of Gustav. or the folks who are going to find out today that they are not getting invited to the Crying Helicopters wedding of the century.

yes, that's right folks, the cat is partially out of the bag. a huge Crying Helicopters wedding is going to be happening very very soon. if you have not already heard the news about this event, please be advised that it is bound to be an utterly amazing affair.

as you may or not know, the folks who are hosting this event are mega-wealthy in terms of what it takes to throw a proper wedding. so expect a massive guest list, with much flexibility in the inviting of extra guests. if you think you might be invited to this event, NOW is the time to start thinking about what outfits you are going to wear, what snacks and pals you are going to bring, and how you are going to contribute to the Monster Dowry that is being amassed as we speak.

now the sheer sumptuousness and size of this wedding makes it all the more important to treat the Definitely Un-Invited with a modicum of sympathy, while being mega-cautious not to wind up accidently allowing some delusional low-down coward and/or resource snarfer to infiltrate this incredibly important Shouseki family affair.

if you know someone who may wind up on the Un-Invited list, please be as kind as you can to them while the list drifts into public posession. please note that this does not mean holding their hand and so forth while they cry, since this can transmit Infiltrator Cooties. instead, educate the Un-Invited One in a caring, low-key way about the importance of not doing things like accepting money from the Federal Government of the United States to muddy a Nation's vision for a functional, harmonious, art-filled world.

folks who persist in doing things like this will be ultra-sad when they find out how they are going to get configured in the wedding entertainment. so, for the good of your dear one, please carefully clue them in about how they can get back ON the path of righteousness, and OFF the path that leads to a starring role in one of Aunti Nantoka's moderately hilarious fairy tales about crows, hobos, and everything in between.

See you at the wedding!

Much love,
Suzy
