I became an American in 1983 (and maintained dual citizenship since the Philippines recognizes two allegiances) so I am not quite an outsider as Dharma is, but I share his sentiments and more. 1968 was the "earthrise" of which I was an intentional casualty, and in it, the picture of nations and their flags faded as the singular image of the earth took me in. I suppose, the Order was that for me, a new gluteal reality that transcended the fealty to nations, though we all still carried our individual passports.
Whether Hillary ever had an RS-I, or looked at the materials, is of no importance. And the US, in its quadrennial frenzy to have an occupant in the White House, has diminished the place's mythological powers, as it should. Camelot was a media image.
Obama is to be thanked for that for crossing the color line, and not acting cowed while in Office, and Hillary will act the same way as she will be the first woman president of the US. One only has to pick up an elementary School Social Studies book to see the pictures of the Presidents to be all male, and all white, until Barack.
Susan's calling Hillary "criminal" reflects an American perspective, though as Randy has said, he has yet to see any charge that she actually committed a crime, her understandable though perhaps unjustifiable use of a private Internet server as the Secretary of State, notwithstanding.
Hillary will be President, or I am returning my blue book. Wild, neh?

As an outsider, being in the Order/ICA gave me a close-up viewof the US and how its citizens related to it. In all those years, beginningwith Nixon all the way up to Obama, I?ve seen it invade and destroy nationsaround the world, releasing waves of refugees and other miseries. Butwithin? the US, people lived in a cocoon thathelped them avert their eyes. I remember the Vietnam war protesters and the manyyoung people who fled the US in order not to be driven to kill ?gooks?overseas. I noticed that at best, we were silent on this and at worst,disapproving. When I look back, I see that the protesters were the ?sensitiveand responsive? part that Niebuhr wrote about. I also noticed the hunger amongus to cite links to famous figures while pointing out that to live in the ?nolonger and the not-yet? was to be ?nobodies?.?Perhaps this was the effect of consuming the stories meant for ourframing and fund-raising strategies.
I see that same hunger now reflected in recalling somedistant crossing of trails with Hillary Clinton. Americans have been set up bythe political elite to adopt positions around two equally ugly candidates putbefore them for the exercise of their ?democratic rights?. For all the emotionsthe Republican-Democrat tension evokes in our emails, election after election, thatrivalry is a sham. This is a nation ruled by a ?single party with two factions?.Whichever you praise or denigrate, the real owners of the land always win. Andfor the rest of us around the world, we can only wait for the light from this ?beaconon the hill? to eventually fade. Then, perhaps, the US will ?take its place as an ordinary member in thecommunity of nations.

And to add insult to injury, she decided to run to be the first woman in the Office of President of the United States. How dare she. Despise h

I've heard the rumors, innuendos, exaggerations, conjecture, gross distortions and outright lies, everything but verifiable truth. Got any? Then let's have it. But double check your sources before you put it out there because there really are some malingering, deplorable liars afoot in the land and a lot of fools are believing them and then repeating what they heard them say and calling it truth, and it just isn't.?

Colleagues:
"The Naked Now" is not a book that I have read. However, if the author is worth his salt, then the purpose of the book is to note the collapsing worldview; the global social process is a shambles: after 2000, the Economic tried a few global forays with no success; The Political seems well illustrated by the fiasco of the US elections; The Social has long ago disintegrated. Remember, while the local is where we live, it is the global that has the greater impact.
Remember how we praised God for putting a tag on our big toe that recorded--"To be born in late 20th and early 21st Century. To be confessional, it is an exciting time.
The secret is that all those who are like me are invited to get out of the way! The future belongs to those born after 1985. Good luck and God Speed.
Pastor Bill.

WEDNESDAY,11/02/16, 3:00PM EST/2:00PM Central, IS THE NEXT RESOURCE EXTRACTION AND CLIMATE/ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AUDIO CONFERENCE CALL. COME GATHER AROUND THE TABLE!
PHONE #:
605-475-3215
Access Code: 180305#
THE FOCUS: WATER IS LIFE! MNI WICONI! STANDING WITH NATIVE AMERICANS AND OTHER WATER PROTECTORS AT STANDING ROCK VS. DAKOTA ACCESS PIPELINE (DAPL) [Black Snakes]
NEW information below and actions that be done NOW before the call.
Thank you for your continued concern and action.
Oct 27, militarized law enforcement agencies moved in with tanks and riot gear on water protectors who stand in opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline?a massive pipeline project that would cut through four states, impact the water to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and violate sacred sites and ancient grounds. While native elders prayed in peace, they were attacked with pepper spray, rubber bullets, as well as sound and concussion cannons. By the end of the day, more than 140 people were arrested.1 Please, add your name and demand that President Obama reject this pipeline once and for all.
My name is David Archambault II, and I'm the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, which has long opposed the Dakota Access Pipeline project. This proposed pipeline presents a threat to our lands, our sacred sites, and our water. Current and future generations depend on our rivers and aquifer to live.
Will you stand in solidarity and urge President Obama to reject the Dakota Access Pipeline, once and for all?
Reject the Dakota Access Pipeline and declare this land a cultural district, eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, to ensure its protection.

Dear Friends,
The time for our call is almost here and the situation at Standing Rock, ND is intensifying.
In case you have missed the news, Native American and other WATER PROTECTORS from all over the country and world are gathering to support the Sioux at Standing Rock, N. Dakota as they try to protect their land and water from the encroaching Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). Their mantra, as in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and so many other places is WATER IS LIFE!. So I thought I'd share a bit about how we are supporting that effort here through the Presbyterian Church (USA) networks.
The PCUSA is supporting the Sioux's effort to protect their land and water at many levels: presbytery, synod, GA and through groups like the Joining Hands Partnerships and Presbyterians for Earth Care/Earth Care Congregations. Below is information about how we are trying to support the effort.
Our next Joining Hands Resource Extraction and Climate/Environmental Issues Call is going to be Wednesday, November 2, 3:00PM EST/2:00PM Central. The focus of this call will be the N. Dakota Pipeline and Native American WATER IS LIFE movement and gathering at the Sacred Stones Camp in Standing Rock. The Rev. Irvin Porter, PC(USA) Associate in the Office of Native American Intercultural Congregational Support and The Rev. Paul Henschen, Coordinator of the Northern Plains Presbytery Presbyterians for Earth Care Team (see his article at the bottom about his trip to the Sacred Stones Camp) will be on the call. The Northern Plains Presbyterians for Earth Care Team has been involved in taking supplies to the camp. Anyone who is interested is welcome and invited to participate in this call.
Joining Hands is trying to connect the dots between our Joining Hands work with resource extraction that has affected indigenous communities in Peru and Bolivia and also the Presbyterians for Earth Care/Earth Care Congregations with what is happening in N. Dakota. There are many ways we can be supportive of N. Dakota, if not being there, then financially and by contacting our congress members and President Obama. In St. Louis, the Joining Hands Peru Partnership and the Earth Care Team together, as well as individuals have given financial support for supplies for the Sacred Stones Camps. I hope many of you will be able to do the same. Maybe some adventurous spirits might be interested in travelling there to see first hand what is going on.

My Trip to the Camp of Sacred Stones
at Standing Rock Reservation
by Rev. Paul Henschen, PEC Steering Committee
Paul Henschen drove to Standing Rock Reservation, where tribes were camping to protest the Dakota Access pipeline, with water supplies and food from his Presbytery?s (Northern Plains) Earth Care Team. Here is part of Paul?s account, sharing what tribe elders had to say about the pipeline after a large delegation of Native Americans from the Northwest arrived bringing a huge Totem Pole they were taking to a tribe in Manitoba.
After the procession that brought the Totem Pole ended, everyone gathered with drumming, chanting and dancing. Speeches were made to welcome everyone. Elders from all the tribes formed a circle and took their turn delivering speeches. They were very eloquent, and much of what they said was hard for me as a middle-class Caucasian to hear, but they spoke the truth. They talked of how the present white-dominated society was harming the earth and that this pipeline was just another in a long history of acts of desecration of the Creator?s world. They declared that this campsite was a place founded on prayer, and that no drugs or weapons were allowed. They spoke of how their people had been on this land from the beginning, and how white society had tried to get rid of them, but that they, the Indigenous People, would still be there in the end. They said that they would pray for what was happening at Standing Rock, and that they would especially pray for the whites, because
they would need it when they came before the Creator and had to answer for what they have done to the earth. All the elders expressed a strong sense of family and unity for the tribes gathered there, and that the stance by the Standing Rock Sioux against the Dakota Access Pipeline had made them a stronger family. These and many other things were said?all of them with conviction yet with a calm and gentle spirit. Violence of any kind was forbidden.
After two hours of speeches, songs were sung and a prayer circle was formed--much of this in Native American language. A press conference was held after which I left to return home. Going home I took a northerly route toward Bismarck, ND, and about 20 miles north of the campsite a roadblock had been set up by police. Why, I have no idea. They were checking vehicles headed south toward Cannonball and the campsite. The Native American elders had spoken of this roadblock and how many of them had to pass through it. Days earlier, the North Dakota governor had also sent police to the protest because of unfounded rumors. This roadblock seemed to be there as a reminder of police power?an action that was totally unnecessary. The Standing Rock Sioux and the other tribes of Indigenous People had gathered peacefully to protest?as is their right. Instead of coming together with them to learn, white society raised its ugly head in a show of force that created tension and resent
ment. As I stood there listening to the elders speak, there was a great deal of wisdom being shared that our white-controlled society needs to hear. I was personally challenged by what the elders said, and I am continuing to wonder how my life needs to change. And what will be the response of our society? Will we listen and learn from those who were here long before our ancestors arrived? Or will we stay on the same course toward destruction of the earth and ultimately of ourselves?
