Blow The Mountain Top Cut the Tit!

 "When I witnessed mountain top removal for the first time in the hollows of West Virginia, it put everything I believed about democracy into question," says Terry Tempest Williams.  http://earthjustice.org/mountain-heroes/mymtrstory







Something is happening beneath the surface, right beneath our noses and on top of the world. Things like this often happen while most are distracted by a major event in the public eye of no real consequence to the betterment of the whole! So what is insignificant that is occurring and getting your attention while something fundamental to our freedoms, and our very lives is being threatened with extinction that has your attention? Who cuts the tops of mountains to create wealth, and expand an industry, or develop beautiful islands in the water for the rich to enjoy? 


Like many the thought of, and the 'how' such a practice could have been conceived staggers the mind of most people because the mountains are where people, their histories and homes are and have been, and where prayers ascend from to the Most High, and where animals and birds live their productive lives. Mountains have been revered since our first time as people upon the Earth, our Mother! The insensitivity of a group of people who would conceive of such a thing have their own dilemma with their grandchildren becoming environmentalists, and disagreeing with the tactic. The people who profit from the destruction of mountains have an origin, a creation story, and a history we need to discover, and dissect. That being said I want to ask the proponents and those opposing this practice a series of questions beginning with how could such a thing be conceived, developed and acted upon? What kind of people believe in, and come from such an energy force, or level of consciousness? 

I don't know how to arrive at an answer to the three questions I raised without making the obvious connections to the rape of the Earth, our Mother and the rape of women. The correlation is clear. The horror visited upon one is visited upon the other. That being said where should focus now be centered in our introspection? What is the name of the monster chopping the tops of mountains off, and the one who takes pleasure in cutting the nipples of his victims' bodies? 

We can protest, and be outraged and sign petitions, march on Washington, but those actions will be as effective as slamming one's fists into the ocean outraged at the creation and power of a tsunami if we don't understand the beast created, or find out who, and what mindset, and cultural perspective created this monster! It is the lack of understanding origins that leads to gross assumptions, and disallows introspection to lead good people to correct strategies to develop and unfold in the war that should start within our very beings and follow the wisdom of knowledge, and rituals of purification that should lead the best leaders to lead the best of people to permanently stop the actions of the men who come from two cultures that have darkly, and with light altered the world we live upon. 

I asked six questions. The answers will determine outcome. These are my words. I am Gregory E. Woods, the first born of Herbert and Constance B. Woods. I am also named Alowan Chanteh Inyan Wichasha. I am a Sirmiq Aattuq Wisdom Keeper, a Keeper of Stories, a Grandfather Teacher, a Muskogee Indian-African Man speaking for the next seven generations.
