Watch as the suspect Ernest Hayes, [br]who police say was avoiding arrest,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
throws Septa police officer Samuel Washington [br]on the ground and pins him under a bench.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Police say he was wanted in connection with [br]a Septa ticket scam,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when officer Washington stopped him,[br]this is what happened.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

but before we look at the riot porn [br]from Mexico and Brazil,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'd like to pay tribute to Herman Wallace,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the badass freedom fighter who was locked up[br]in solitary confinement for 41 fuckin years
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for co-founding one of the 1st prison chapters[br]of the Black Panthers.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Even though Wallace was dying of liver cancer,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the motherfuckin' state would not let [br]this valiant brother out.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That is, until the judge granted him freedom[br]just days before his death.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Wallace's case is not unique,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as dozens of political prisoners

I asked author Chris Hedges if he had been following the Black Bloc during the brazil teachers strike.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[ Hedges ] Y'know, I have been following that,[br]because the brazilian papers have interviewed me,

um, and, uh, a lot of people in the unions,[br]and a lot of people in brazil

uh, and I don't even say "they"
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because everybody has this misnomer that the Warrior Society is an organization, it's not.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's a movement.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's like... of course in the media they try to paint a picture like the Warrior movement
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is like organized crime or some kind of[br]almost like a biker gang,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when we're not, it has nothing[br]to do with that.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There are people who confuse...[br]between beign a gangster and being a warrior.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There's a very big difference between the two.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There's a line that divides the two.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The warrior society is a movement
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that came to, in the late 60's, early 70's,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
kinda coincides with the start of the [br]American Indian Movement,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and also the rights movements that were going on during 1960's,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the Civil Rights movement and so on.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And the warrior movement just simply[br]a rekindling of the duties and responsibilities
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of men and women in traditional societies,[br]and the roles & duties in defense of their people.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and it's part of the Longhouse, [br]the Longhouse people,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the Great Law, Gayanashagowa, [br]all governs the actions of this movement.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There are some, I feel that they take the movement,[br]they try and separate it from the Longhouse,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and try to separate it from that, try to have it, something that's gonna be self-regulating,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it doesn't work that way.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The warrior movement is part of the Longhouse,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the Longhouse controls the warrior movement.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And the warriors, there's no membership criteria,[br]
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
except being Ongweoweh, meaning native,[br]being Indigenous,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and having Gayanashagowa in your heart.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Theres the warrior flag that you see from 1990[br]with the Mohawk on it.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That's one flag,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but the original Mohawk flag has a man and a [br]woman, this is what it's supposed to be right?
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's not a male-dominated movement.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It' the women who have a big part [br]to play in this movement.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And you hear the media talk about "well the warriors are hiding behind the women."
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
First of all, you don't tell a Mohawk woman what [br]to do, y'know, she won't take it from you.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
She'll do what she wants to do.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And that's what... we've known that, we had that wisdom to say that women have their place,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and they have a right to do what they're doing,[br]and have a right to take part in everything.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So then in 1990 when you seen the warriors there, and the women were approaching the police,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
tellin them y'know that they have to move, [br]you have to go,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
what theyre doing is... they're not... [br]the men are not hiding behind the women.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The women are actually protecting our adversaries,[br]they're protecting them from us.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's their duty and their role, [br]to first put that olive branch, right?
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Bring out that laurel, here, lets discuss this,[br]let's negotiate,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and they refused to negotiate with us,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so then, y'know, the final step is the women,[br]the women pull back and the men take over.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And this is the thing, it's a big decision to make.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In the traditional world, the way we look at it as Kanien’kehá:ka people, which is Mohawk,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Kanien’kehá:ka people, it's the women who are in charge of warfare,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it's the women who call the shots, it's the women[br]who decide that men will go to war,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
not men, it's not a male decision.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Women will say to the men "now you can go to war,[br]i'll bury the fire, put out the flames,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I put out the hearth, you can't come home to the hearth, there's nothign here,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"you have to go out and fight"
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That's a woman's decision.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[ STIMULATOR ] And can you explain [br]what the Longhouse is?
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[ CLIFTON ] OK the Longhouse is, it's basically [br]what we call ourselves,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
um, it's based on a traditional dwelling[br]that we used to live in,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is an elongated family dwelling.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
... a matrilocal dwelling, where the clan would live.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In our society, our lineage and descent [br]goes through the women,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so it would be the woman's, the matriarch's house,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is long, with many fires for different families,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So you have a nuclear family of a mother, a father[br]or husband, and their child,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they'd be a family, and each of these families[br]would share a hearth with another one.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So it'd be an elongated house.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So the Confederacy of Iroquois Nations
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we would call it our Haudenosaunee in Mohawk,[br]or Onandaga as Haudenosaunee,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which literally means The People of The Longhouse.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And this is a symbol of what we use [br]as a symbol of our people.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you look on the spiritual and political end of it,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the Longhouse is the structure that was used[br]to meet and have ceremonies in.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So our political structures would be [br]in the Longhouse,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and our religious ceremonies would be[br]in the Longhouse.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So you hear the pan term "Longhouse",[br]Longhouse people,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you hear Iroquois people saying this often.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[ STIMULATOR ] I've heard peeps say that [br]there's similarities
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
between anarchists and some traditional cultures,[br]what the fuck?
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Yeah, as anarchists I think it's a natural thing,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for Haudenosaunee people to be anarchists.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I always liked the, one of the quotes, I don't know[br]what his name was,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
maybe you could find it and research, he's a Jesuit,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who wrote about Haudenosaunee people,[br]and Mohawks in particular,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I love what he said when he said
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Each and every one of them are sovereign [br]unto themselves,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they follow no one [br]and they take orders from no one."
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So that, to me, speaks volumes [br]about being an anarchist,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you are sovereign unto yourself,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you know, you have no king, [br]you have no masters.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Our people, historically, did what they wanted, [br]when they wanted and how they wanted,
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
both the men and the women.
9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[ STIMULATOR ] Thanks Clifton.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
