It is instructive for any thinking person to examine the events that led up to the US/NATO intervention in Libya and the events as they have unfolded since, because Libya is a classic case of US foreign policy. We are also now privy to the emails of one of the main proponents of the intervention and these provide added confirmation that our power hungry leaders see humanity as pawns to be played in advancing their imperialist ambitions.

The modern society has created many illusions for you to buy into: being rich, successful, fighting for your rights, individualism, and   pleasure seeking. All these areas keep you externally focused on any agenda they set for you, encouraging emotional and reactionary behaviour.

In indigenous societies, people live under a different governmental structure that is typically ruled by a traditional king and lesser kings (big chief and small chiefs). Under these structures, a king is responsible for anything that happens within his kingdom. There is no room for the king to try to escape responsibility.

In this article, we are celebrating a generation of M’TAM initiates that reached an important milestone within this initiation process that I am talking about. This important occasion is the graduation from the first level (Per Ankh) of the M’TAM initiation. Their graduation was held on the 29th of Kpekhan, 414 (June 6th, 2015).

On December 6, 2015 in Paris, France, 195 nations were in a meeting to negotiate the United Nations climate pact. Outside the conference were people that came from all over the world, unified in protest, demanding that indigenous rights be included in the negotiations of the UN.
