The past 515 years have seen a continual struggle between indigenous Traditionalists and indigenous 'Progressives'. Unlike India, American Indians did not have a massive population base to sustain their culture. Still it took nearly 400 years to destroy the Native civilization. Importantly, the greatest struggle that the Indians faced was the internal battle. Tribes were torn apart, families separated and lives lost in the struggle between those Natives committed to their Traditional culture and those Natives that rejected the old ways as useless. Traditionalists were targetted simply for practicing their ancient traditions, speaking their language and worshipping in their native way.
In the USA, not until 1978 were Indians allowed to legally practice their religion. Not until 1978 were American Indians guaranteed custodial rights to their own children. These facts are widely known and verifiable.
Curiously, despite all this information being common knowledge, despite the fact that billions of dollars have been spent on research, books, documentaries and films regarding the Native struggle, many leading PhDs, Scholars and Researchers such as Witzel, Farmer, Courtright etc. continue to pursue a campaign of cultural genocide. Despite massive learning, volumes of books, prestigious recognition and an allegedly balanced outlook on the world, scholars like Witzel act in ignorance. They can not recognize the fact that history is being repeated and that they are prime movers in this ongoing brutalization of the Traditionalistists' sense of self-worth.
They forget that behind every genocide one can find a scholarly rationale. Today Witzel is at the forefront of this rationalization. Thus when terrorists kill Hindus, the media instantly trumpets the idea that it is fault of those 'fascists' Hindutwavadis. They claim its 'understandable' that terrorists are blowing up Hindus in reaction to those RSS 'fascists'. Witzel and his psuedo-secular Overlords have therefore provided the rationale for genocide.
These allegedly logical minds can not recognize another simple and very basic fact. While the ancient traditions and cultures of India have a proven track record in sustaining and maintaining the World's largest and ongoing cultural paradigm along with a massive population base, the modern paradigm is constantly changing and failing. The modern paradigm is unsustainable and can not fit into the natural law of the universe. This is because it is basically artificial, disconnected and unsustainable.
On one hand we have an obviously successful, credible and sustainable reality
based on the Traditional outlook. On the other hand we have the views of those
representing a paradigm that is unsustainable and thin on credibility. They
represent a paradigm that has absolutely failed to maintain or even develop
a balanced civilization.
Modern civilization is such a whack job that it requires abortion in order to maintain a semblance of functionality. A society that can not support its own birth rate is a failure at a very fundamental and foundational level. So these idiots, blinded by their own 'scholarly knowledge' want to foist this failed civilization on the world. They attempt to package their failed civilization's academic outlook as scientific and authoritative and bury the modern day Traditionalist outlook. Traditionalists are not allowed to own their past. Attempts at outreach are painted in the darkest colors of racism, hate and violence. Any efforts to promote traditional values and historical perspectives are brutally savaged.
Paradoxically, in many so-called Democracies most motivated Traditionalists are denied access to mainstream society. The level of commitment to one's Traditional Cultural is used as a guage to qualify or disqualify one from participation in day to day life. A commited traditionalist is therefore labeleled a fundamentlist and a fanatic and thus percieved as unsuitble and unstable. Meanwhile the opposite lack of Traditional commitment and opposition to Tradition is not equally perceived as fanatical nor unstable.
Today, instead of the cowboy-like Witzel killing Indians from horseback he now savages their very sense of Identity. He kills their very sense of belief in themselves. He savages the wisdom of the ancient ones with his fancy Harvard titles and condacending arrogance as an appointed guardian of the status quo. Despite all his learning he is ignorant to the fact that it was this same status quo of superiority and arrogance that demanded the massive genocide of the American Indians. By the belittlement of the elders, native people learned to dismiss the practical wisdom of the ancients as nothing more than superstition. By replacing native loyalties to tradition with a sense of self-loathing and backwardness, many indigenous people turned on each other.
Cultivating a sense of indigenous inferiority, the cultural genociders reaped a harvest of broken hearts and scattered minds. Through conversion or straight out murder, the status quo demanded that the Natives abandon their own history, culture and traditions. A Native Traditionalist's struggle to be faithful to their Grand-parent's culture became a death warrant in the hands of the so-called progressives and their allies.
Simply believing in Hindu traditions and historical perspectives is enough for Witzel and his allies to dismiss anyone. In their eyes they are dead people, representing a dead culture. According to these 'guardians of truth' Traditionalists' have no relevance nor place in politics, education or any other part of mainstream civil society. The views of Hindu traditionalists are considered useless, irrellevant and worthy of denigration and dismissal in the guise of scholarly expertise.
Instead of 6-shooters, today's cultural genociders use sick and slick shooting campaigns of dis-information and innuendo in an attempt to discredit the very essence of a Traditionalist's existance. These are people who lament the destruction of an unused mosque as the 'darkest day in India's history,' despite India having over 100,000 terror victims and millions of famine victims. This one fact alone is enough to expose the inhumanity of the Indian secular media and the many anti-hindu activists such as Witzel. Witzel is at the forefront of denying basic human rights to native peoples. He and his ilk have decided that Traditionalists have no right to a functoning life. Thus they have no shame in their efforts to deny such basic rights to life, liberty and justice. According to them Traditionalists have no right to redress past wrongs and should not dwell on the past. Despite this, the anti-Traditionalist camp is constantly harping on an alleged native past that is full of invasions, horror, tyranny and social injustice.
The American Indian Traditionalists have united, battled, bargained, sued, protested and exposed the lunacy of the Native Progressives' betrayal of the culture. In the same way the RSS has fulfilled this role as guardians of India's indigenous Tradition and Culture. The RSS is constantly being attacked by so-called progressive secular Indians. These Natives are drunk on the psychic poison that is professionally packaged and labelled as fact by the 'guardians of truth' at Harvard and Oxford. Basically the Anti-Traditionalist Native is a trojan horse packed full of disinformation meant to divide, disrupt and dissipate the very essence of tradition values and culture. In the same way that American Indians in the past stood their ground and organized themselves in order to counteract this corrosive impact, the RSS is doing the same for Hindus.
As an example, if we superimpose the RSS into the American Experiance, it becomes obvious that all the great American Indian leaders would have naturally supported such an organization. By comparing the mission statement of the RSS with the mission statement of AIM it becomes crystal clear that we are all part of the same ongoing indigenous struggle.
So yes I say it loudly:
The same dedication and commitment that inspired Crazy Horse, the Cherokee leader Sequoyah, Pontiac, Geronimo, Sitting Bull, Tecumseh, Roman Nose, Little Turtle, Metacomet, Chief Joseph, Black Hawk, among many other great Indian leaders, is the same commitment to indigenous tradition that embodies the Rashtriya Svayamsevak Sangham. In other words, if they were here today these noble souls, who gave their lives to protect their traditions, would naturally support the Hindu Traditionalist Cause. In their own time these Traditionalists were labeled as murderers, malcontents and butchers. They were attacked for their efforts to defend traditional values and culture. However, today, they are recognized as true American heroes. Thus most US military helicopters have Indian names such as Iroquois Warrior, Sioux Scout, Cayuse and Apache. Corporate America has co-opted their names thus we can drive a Jeep Cherokee or a Pontiac Grand AM. US paratroopers shout Geronimo as they jump, and many US States, cities and major sports teams have Indian names.No one considers them noble because they were beaten. Nay, their nobility was recognized because they took a stand for their people, traditions and cultures.
Let the Hindus not die out before the world realizes they are worthy of honor. Let the world recognize who they really are and what they truly stand for. The Hindu Traditionalists are the current champions of the ancient world's traditions and culture. Let their be unity amongst all those struggling to preserve and enhance the Indigenous Traditions and Cultures of the world.

AIM, American Indian Movement is basically the RSS for the American Indians.
"The movement was founded to turn the attention of Indian people toward a renewal of spirituality which would impart the strength of resolve needed to reverse the ruinous policies of the United States, Canada, and other colonialist governments of Central and South America. At the heart of AIM is deep spirituality and a belief in the connectedness of all Indian people..The philosophy of self-determination upon which the movement is built is deeply rooted in traditional spirituality, culture, language and history...Indian people live on Mother Earth with the clear understanding that no one will assure the coming generations except ourselves. No one from the outside will do this for us. And no person among us can do it all for us, either. Self-determination must be the goal of all work. Solidarity must be the first and only defense of the members." "we are criticized meticulously for our right to be who we are."FROM AIM 101http://www.dickshovel.com/aim101.html
Similar to the efforts in India and elsewhere to demonize the RSS as a racist violent organization, the US govt and media attempted to destroy AIM. See links below. http://www.aimovement.org/moipr/USvAIMbackground.html http://www.indiancountry.com/content.cfm?id=1096413635
The Propaganda War
In pursuing such a policy the U.S. power elite
has replicated the tactics and conditions more typically imposed on its colonies
abroad. First, there is the matter of "grey and black propaganda"
through which U.S. covert agencies, working hand in glove with the mainstream
media, distort or fabricate information concerning the groups they have targeted.
The function of such a campaign is always to deny with plausibility public
sympathy or support to the groups in question, to isolate them and render
them vulnerable to physical repression or liquidation. As concerns AIM, grey
propaganda efforts have often centered upon contentions (utterly unsubstantiated)
that the "Indian agenda" is to dispossess non-Indians of the home-owner,
small farmer or rancher type living within the various treaty areas.
[This flies directly in the face of the formal positions advanced by the AIM
and associated groups working on treaty land issues. AIM has consistently
held that it seeks lands held by the U.S. and various state governments (such
as National and State Parks, National Forests and Grasslands, Bureau of Land
Management areas, etc.) as well as major corporate holdings within the treaty
areas. Small landholders would be allowed to remain and retain their property
under "landed immigrant provisions" or, in some cases, naturalization.]
In terms of black propaganda, there have been
a number of highly publicized allegations of violence which, once disproven,
were allowed to die without further fanfare. This has been coupled to "leaks"
from official government sources that AIM is a "terrorist" organization.
[This is based on testimony of a single informer at a hearing at which the
AIM leadership was denied the right to cross-examine or to testify.]
The propaganda efforts have, in large part, yielded the desired effect, souring not only the average American citizen's perception of AIM, but-remarkably-that of the broader U.S. internal opposition as well. The latter have been so taken in upon occasion as to parrot the government/corporate line that Indian land claims are "unrealistic," "not feasible," and ultimately a "gross unfairness to everyone else."

AIM has some interesting documents regarding Ward Churchill. Once again, similar to India's fraud Ajitha, it appears that the heroes of the Global Secularists are themselves the agents of the very terror and repression that they publicly rage against. Check it out.

The Role of AIM Leaders in Indian Nationalism

The revolutionary fervor of AIM's leaders drew the attention of the FBI and the CIA, who then set out to crush the movement. Their ruthless suppression of AIM during the early 1970s sowed the seeds of the confrontation that followed in February, 1973..

"Pledged to fight White Man's injustice
to Indians, his oppression, persecution, discrimination and malfeasance in
the handling of Indian Affairs. No area in North America is too remote when
trouble impends for Indians. AIM shall be there to help the Native People
regain human rights and achieve restitutions and restorations."
