Notes from Indian Country
By Tim Giago
In the past few primary elections the Tea Party has won some and lost some. Lately it’s been more “lost some” than “won some.”
Several months ago I wrote that the Tea Party was founded on an act of impersonation based on an act of deception. They named themselves and patterned themselves after a bunch of so-called Boston Patriots who decided to rebel over a tax on tea by sneaking aboard a vessel that had received a shipment of tea and dumping the tea into the Boston Harbor. In order to conceal this criminal act from the authorities they dressed themselves up as Mohawk Indians hoping to transfer the blame to the Indian people.
The so-called Patriots who committed this criminal action were too cowardly to stand up and be counted as the heroes they envisioned themselves to be, but instead sought to deceive the authorities by shifting the blame upon the Mohawk and if believed, this act of cowardice could have been deadly to the local Indians.
When a group of Republicans decided they would shake up the Republican Party by forming themselves into the Tea Party, an ultra-conservative wing of the Republican Party, they decided to take a page from the history books and breathe new life into it by taking an extreme stance against federal spending and taxes. The Tea Party brought out its share of wing nuts as supporters and candidates with Sara Palin of Alaska grabbing the brass ring.
Since they were new and fresh-faced they did manage to get some of their candidates elected and this set the traditional Republican Party back on its heels. They didn’t know what to do with the newcomers who were vocal, rude and uncompromising. They also proved to be extreme
obstructionists who blocked any legislation introduced by President Obama and the Democrats. This Congress of 2014 has introduced and passed fewer bills than any Congress in history.
The old Republican Party is fighting back against the neo-conservatives as witnessed by the victory of Thad Cochran’s primary win over Tea Party candidate Chris McDaniel in Mississippi on Tuesday.
When the patriots dumped the tea into Boston Harbor and attempted to place the blame on the Mohawk Indians they knew that if their actions did indeed implicate the Indians, the consequences of their impersonation could have been deadly and disastrous to the Indians living in New England. The colonists at that time were looking for any excuse to slaughter the remaining Indians in New England and this act of deception could well have set off a slaughter of the Indians.
By assuming the name of a group of cowardly white men who tried to place the blame of their criminal actions on the Indian people the Tea Party has proven that they have a one-sided view of American history. The Tea Party was not made up of heroes then and it is not made up of heroes now.
Their political actions present a clear and present danger to the Native Americans of today just as they did in 1773. To endanger the lives of innocent Indians to protest a political point was not only cowardly, but an action constructed around a lie. And this is how the Tea Party adopted its name and the Tea Party of 2014 would cut the funds to tribal governments, Indian health, and Indian education.
It seems that the Boston Patriotic chickens are looking for another place to roost.

If you missed this outrageous study published earlier this month in an academic journal, here’s the nutshell version: In January 2012, a Facebook data scientist, along with two university researchers, tweaked the News Feed of almost 690,000 users to display more “positive” or “negative” stories to figure out if “emotions are contagious on social networks”.
If you’ve wanted the NSA and anti-spying campaigners to sit down and hash things out, you’re about to get your wish… well, sort of. MSNBC is holding a surveillance-themed debate between former NSA head Gen. Keith Alexander and ACLU Executive…
There is a little child in every one of us, no matter how “grown up” we look like, or how little hair left (for us men) that we have on our heads. If you want to dote on your kids or your grandchildren, why not get close to them with the $29.99 Big Light Up Red Rocket? This is going to be an extremely different take from the standard issue night light or lamp, as it will boast of pulsing rocket lights as well as soothing rocket sound, with it functioning as a white noise generator for your children.
You will be able to mount up the Big Light Up Red Rocket easily on just about any wall. All that you need to do is to load it up with batteries (not forgetting the remote, of course) and you can then blast off. Press the button in order to cycle through the three different modes (lights with sounds, lights only, or sounds only), and upon finding the one that you are happy with, your little one will enter dreamland soon enough, thanks to the pulsing glow of rocket lights and/or the soothing white-noise-esque rocket sounds. Within the next 20 minutes, it will then shut itself automatically in an effort to conserve battery power, now how about that for going green?

An Arizona State University professor who is facing charges of assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest says that police used excessive force in slamming her to the ground during an encounter.
On May 20, Ersula Ore, an English professor, was stopped by university police near the ASU campus. Police said Ore was stopped because she was walking in the middle of the street and refused to provide ID, and that she later kicked an officer in the shin after they had her handcuffed, according to the Associated Press. Ore claimed she was walking in the street to get around construction.
Now, dashboard video of Ore’s interaction with Officer Stewart Ferrin, showing Ore being physically forced down to the pavement, is attracting attention as she claims police used excessive force.
Video released to KTVK (above) shows part of the exchange between Ferrin and Ore:
Ferrin: “Let me see your ID or you will be arrested for failing to provide ID.”
Ore: “Are you serious?”
Ferrin: “Yes, I am serious. That is the law.”
In the video, Ore can be heard saying she has no problem following the law, but protesting that Ferrin is speaking to her in a disrespectful manner.
Ore: “I never once saw a single solitary individual get pulled over by a cop for walking across a street on a campus, in a campus location. Everybody has been doing this because it is all obstructed. That’s the reason why. But you stop me in the middle of the street to pull me over and ask me, ‘Do you know what this is? This is a street.'”
Ferrin: “Are you aware that this is a street?”
Ore: “Let me finish.”
Ferrin: “OK, put your hands behind your back.”
The officer appears to swing Ore in a circle before forcing her to the ground as Ore yells for the officer to stop touching her.
At least one person called 911 and said an officer was getting “way too aggressive” with Ore, according to a tape obtained by KTVK.
Ore was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, refusing to provide identification when requested to do so by an officer and obstructing a highway or public thoroughfare.
ASU did not respond to a request for comment from The Huffington Post. The school told KTVK, “ASU authorities have reviewed the circumstances surrounding the arrest and have found no evidence of inappropriate actions by the ASUPD officers involved. Should such evidence be discovered, an additional, thorough inquiry will be conducted and appropriate actions taken.”
The Arizona Ethnic Studies Network believes this incident may be connected to racial profiling, and is criticizing ASU for not undertaking a full investigation of the incident with Ore, who is black.
“In a state and metropolitan region in which racial profiling has been proven to be widespread, the ASU administration’s lack of concern for the well-being of an ASU community member of color is unacceptable,” the Arizona Ethnic Studies Network said in a statement.
Ore did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Huffington Post.
A petition on MoveOn.org with more than 2,800 signatures is calling on campus police to drop the charges and issue an apology.
A Toronto news outlet learned the hard way why you should always air live events on a 5-second delay.
After Brazil defeated Chile in Saturday afternoon’s World Cup game, a reporter for CityTV asked a fan if he was nervous during the intense match.
“I was very nervous,” he exclaimed. “F*ck her right in the p*ssy!”
According to Deadspin, the NSFW quote may have been inspired by an earlier news blooper that turned out to be a hoax.
The Daily Dot made the same comparison.
Watch the clip above.
After 120 tense and thrilling minutes left them deadlocked, Brazil and Chile were each given just five penalty kicks apiece to separate themselves. The drama continued until the final kick bounced harmlessly off the goalpost.
With Neymar converting the decisive kick for Brazil and Gonzalo Jara clanging Chile’s final effort of the post, the World Cup hosts prevailed 3-2 in the penalty shootout to clinch a spot in the quarterfinals. Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar made two key saves and received some late support from the woodwork to spark celebrations within and without Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte on Saturday.

Before Shia LaBeouf was escorted out of the Broadway musical “Cabaret” earlier this week, spitting at police and telling them, “I’ll fuck you up,” the actor tried to start a fight with another random person.
In a video obtained by TMZ, LaBeouf is seen outside of a strip club in New York City, shadowboxing — or sort of just jumping around or whatever — as the man who he had an altercation with for unknown reasons stands still, seemingly baffled by what exactly is happening in his life at that moment. However, at the end of the brief clip, LaBeouf opts out of the fight. Take a look.
