This year's Hiphop literacies conference compels us to ask: What is Hip-Hop's ongoing (re)vision and (re)valuing of Black life and culture in the Third Post-Reconstruction? How do Brown and Black peoples who are threatened by Trump's walls get ready to respond to and resist through Hiphop culture? How does Hiphop stand with Standing Rock and stand against colonization set in motion centuries ago? What are the hetero-patriarchal scripts that Hip-Hoppas will now rewrite? How will we sustain, maintain, and thrive as a legacy of our cultural survival?   The purpose of the Hiphop Literacies conference is to bring together scholars, educators, activists, students, artists, and community members to dialogue on pressing social problems. This year our working conference theme is Hiphop Justice (Hiphop in the 3rd Reconstruction). Participants of the Hiphop Literacies Conference join a community of those concerned with African American/Black, Brown and urban literacies who are interested in challenging the sociopolitical arrangement of the relations between institutions, languages, identities, and power through engagement with local narratives of inequality and lived experience in order to critique a global system of oppression. Literacies scholars who foreground the lives of Hiphop generation youth see Hiphop as providing a framework to ground work in classrooms and communities in democratic ideals.

However, his formal academic training allows him to express the hope and infinite possibilities people of color have in their daily lives. Craig completed his doctorate in English at St. John's University where he was selected as the Hooding Ceremony Student Keynote Speaker and awarded the Academy of American Poets Prize.

E the EMCEE will represent Science Genius B.A.T.T.L.E.S. at the Hiphop Literacies 2017 conference. Science Genius BA.T.T.L.E.S. is an initiative that is focused on utilizing the power of hip-hop music and culture to introduce youth to the wonder and beauty of science. The core message of the initiative is to meet urban youth who are traditionally disengaged in science classrooms on their cultural turf, and provide them with the opportunity to express the same passion they have for hip-hop culture for science. Concurrently, the project aims to display the interests of science enthusiasts who have a passion for hip-hop, and introduce both hip-hop and science to a wider audience.

Indígenas das Américas Admitem Sua Origem NÃO TERRESTRE

Indígenas de todo o mundo têm mantido pacífica e longeva relação com Extraterrestres, mas poucos são os líderes tribais que admitem isso. O silêncio, explicam, é em respeito aos seus “amigos cósmicos”.  

A cidade de Wagner, em Dakota do Sul, Estados Unidos, é palco de um acontecimento de importância histórica.  Por 15 anos seguidos a reserva Yankton dos índios Sioux tem sediado um dos mais concorridos eventos na área ufológica dos EUA...

Indígenas das Américas Admitem Sua Origem NÃO TERRESTRE

… Trata-se de um grande encontro entre os líderes de tribos indígenas norte-americanas e de todo o mundo, chamado Star Knowledge, a conferência sobre o conhecimento das estrelas. O evento é organizado por uma comitiva de índios chefiada pelo líder místico Standing Elk [Alce em Pé], da tribo Lakota. Standing Elk teve a ideia do encontro após uma visão em que lhe foi revelado que o conhecimento espiritual dos índios nativos dos EUA tinha grande relação com o que chama de “Nações das Estrelas”, os seres extraterrestres.

O chefe Lakota crê ainda que tal conhecimento deva ser compartilhado com outros povos da Terra e por isso convoca, a cada ano, indígenas de todo o planeta para trocarem informações e experiências.

A conferência é sempre organizada em obediência às profecias dos sábios das tribos Lakota e Hopi, mas até hoje não recebeu nenhum enviado das tribos brasileiras. Nos últimos eventos estiveram presentes indígenas místicos e espirituais da facção denominada Plains [Habitantes das Planícies], que compreende as tribos dos Lakota, Oglala, Dakota, Black Foot e Nakota, assim como os representantes orientais das nações Iroquoi, Oneida, Seneca e Choctaw, e os líderes dos grupos que habitam a faixa meridional dos Estados Unidos, Hopi, Yaqui e Mayan.

Dentre os chefes das tribos que compareceram anualmente ao encontro é importante destacar a presença do místico Maori, da Nova Zelândia, e da líder espiritual do povo Sammi, do Lapão. Standing Elk [Alce em Pé], líder místico da tribo Lakota Também participam ativamente do evento pesquisadores, antropólogos e ufólogos norte-americanos e europeus.

Entre eles está o ex-sargento da Organização do Tratado do Atlântico Norte (OTAN) Robert O. Dean, o contatado e escritor Whitley Strieber, o psicólogo Richard Boylan, os professores universitários Leo Sprinkle e Courtney Brown, o contatado e estigmatizado Giorgio Bongiovanni, o investigador alemão Michael Hesemann, o ex-funcionário da CIA Derrel Sims, a contatada Marylin Carlson e o investigador Randolph Winters, entre vários outros curiosos e interessados na temática. O psiquiatra da Universidade de Harvard doutor John Mack, recentemente falecido, era figura constante nos eventos indígenas.

Standing Elk

O objetivo das conferências é divulgar de maneira mais clara e ampla as tradições e os conhecimentos indígenas dos nativos norte-americanos – os peles-vermelhas –, que até o início dessa série de eventos somente eram mencionadas dentro do próprio grupo.

Todos os participantes deste acontecimento, ao longo dos 15 anos em que vem sendo realizado, têm plena consciência de que os desastrosos acontecimentos que ocorrem hoje em várias partes do mundo já haviam sido anunciados aos nativos através de antigas profecias de suas tribos.

Se já era conhecimento deles as mudanças pelas quais a Terra irá passar, decidiu-se através destes eventos difundir as profecias indígenas para o restante da população planetária. De acordo com o que foi discutido no último evento, por exemplo, a origem de vários grupos nativos dos EUA é considerada pelos próprios como de procedência extraterrestre, pois suas culturas são fortemente influenciadas pelos ensinamentos transmitidos pelo que chamam de “Povos das Estrelas”, quando em “visitas” aos peles-vermelhas.

A mais importante das profecias é seguramente a que se refere à iminente manifestação sobre a Terra das civilizações alienígenas, o que os indígenas acreditam que deverá acontecer muito brevemente. O idealizador do evento e guardião do chamado “altar da nação da estrela de seis pontos”, Standing Elk, revelou em sua apresentação que “os homens remediadores” – uma espécie de líderes místicos de cada tribo –, têm a capacidade de comunicar-se com entidades espirituais da Mãe-Terra, como a águia, o alce, o coiote e principalmente com seres provenientes das Nações das Estrelas.

Este poder de transmissão constituiria, segundo ele, uma séria ameaça para as instituições religiosas, econômicas, políticas e governamentais do planeta, pois civilizações do Universo estariam entrando em contato com os peles-vermelhas através de métodos espirituais – o que é abominado pelo governo dos EUA.

Segundo Standing, as Nações das Estrelas, como se sabe há milênios, não adotam qualquer sistema monetário em seus planetas, porque sua estrutura social é baseada em práticas mentais, espirituais e universais. Ele vê com apreensão o risco de colapso nos métodos financeiros mundiais, especialmente dentro dos Estados Unidos, e das instituições religiosas.

Este é o motivo principal que induziu os donos do poder a considerar ilegal o credo das tribos Lakota e Dakota, banindo suas tradições culturais seculares. A censura valeu até o momento em que o ex-presidente Jimmy Carter promulgou, em agosto de 1978, uma lei que reconhecia a capacidade de os nativos terem suas próprias formas de religiosidade – conhecida como Ato para a Liberdade de Religião.

Nos anos que precederam a promulgação da lei, o governo dos Estados Unidos punia os líderes espirituais com severidade, chegando a condená-los a mais de trinta anos de detenção caso fossem vistos ou se realizassem atos de prece às Nações das Estrelas durante as cerimônias tradicionais celebradas em sua língua original.

“Para cristianizar os pagãos, os EUA cortavam as rações de comida necessárias à sobrevivência dos peles-vermelhas. Usavam este meio para constranger os nativos a aprender o modo do viver de um cristão”, explicou Standing. Com isso, impediam que se alastrasse sua cultura tradicional, que os levou a crer que eram descendentes de seres não-terrestres.

Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 5

Air Date: 6/4/17

Warning: Contains Spoilers

Locations:

     Las Vegas, Nevada

     Buenos Aires, Argentina

     Buckhorn, South Dakota

     Yankton, South Dakota

     Twin Peaks, Washington

     Arlington, Virginia

     Philadelphia, Pensylvania

Who is Lorraine, the woman the hit-man talks to on the phone? Is this the one that Mr. Todd says to tell she has the job? Who is she calling? Phillip Jeffries?

What is the black box she reaches?

I did note previously that the only ring on Dougie’s wedding ring finger was the Owl ring. Now we see what happened to his Wedding Ring.

Why was Dougie’s wedding ring in Major Briggs’ stomach?

This threw me off at first as I began to wonder if the body was that of the original Dougie and when he was replaced with the other Cooper, they somehow messed with people’s minds so that they did not realize it. The scene later at the Pentagon, however, re-confirmed for me that this is indeed the body of Major Briggs.

Interesting that Evil Coop seems to be studying the workings of the prison (now food is coming) as if he’s hatching a plan.

CONFIRMATION! Bob is still inside of Evil Coop (though clearly it is the Doppelganger who has main control).

If they had just mentioned that Harry Truman was sick and moved on, that would have been one thing, but it keeps coming up again and again. This time Frank is talking to Harry on the phone. This leads me to believe that we may just yet get a cameo.

Frank’s conversation with his wife Doris was all too frighteningly realistic.

Addition: Some people have suggested that this interaction between Frank and Doris is all code. If it was something with Gordon Cole, like Lil in Fire Walk with Me, I could believe it. With Frank and Doris, I doubt it. If you go back and watch with this in mind, however, you can totally see why her words and gestures could be interpreted as code.

Why does Sunny Jim seem so sad?

$425,000 means that after paying the $50,000 they owe, they would still have $375,000!

I’m sure this means absolutely nothing to the story, but when I saw that statue I immediately thought of it as a statue of Roland (The Gunslinger) from Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. Here it is most certainly meant as a reference to law enforcement that helps in kick-starting Cooper’s memories. (Of course Roland is a Law man as well).

What is up with the Red Balloons? They keep popping up: at the drug addict’s, at Dougie’s from Sunny Jim’s birthday party, now on that white sculpture by the statue.

Totally missed the mark on that one. I thought with that jacket, and being in the house that is for sale with Jade, that Dougie was a real-estate agent. Turns out he was actually an insurance agent. This makes his choice of jacket actually strange.

Cooper seeing the flash of green on Tony’s face and automatically knowing that he is lying is further evidence of Cooper’s natural psychic tendencies showing through and furthers my suggestion that it may have been this, and not direct manipulation from the Lodge, that was responsible for his winnings.

Addition: The rims on Dougie’s car are completely different after it blows up than they are before it blows up.

When The Great Northern gets that Key, it will constitute the first hard evidence of the real Cooper.

Love the overhead shot of Becky smiling. Totally made me think of Laura.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens with those Golden Shovels Jacoby is selling. You just know that eventually someone is going to get whacked with one. Maybe Ed from Nadine.

We now know that the Ruth Davenport murder sequence actually does take place 25 years after the original series (and Briggs’ “death”). The sixteen hits over 25 years further my suspicions that Brigg’s did not actually die in that fire.

I knew there was a reason I didn’t like Deputy Chad.

Strange to think of that iconic image from Fire Walk with Me of the Cigarette butts all over the floor after the night with Laura, Ronette and Donna, then see No Smoking at the Road House. The Pink Room was over the border in Canada of course. It is true that No Smoking in public buildings is now a law in Washington.

How is Richard Horne related to the rest of the Hornes? Is Richard Horne half of the Richard and Linda that the Giant warned Cooper about?

Addition: Some people are theorizing that Richard is the result of a relationship between Audrey and Evil Coop after he comes out of the lodge. After that bomb in the Bank, however, Audrey is in no condition to be having any kind of relationship before Evil Coop disappears. The only possible way would be if Evil Coop forced himself on her in her hospital room. Although I could see Bob doing that, I just don’t think that this idea has any merit given the info we have at this time.

Are Evil Coop’s finger prints backwards? That’s how it appeared. but would the database really find it a match if the prints were identical but reversed? I don’t know.

Who is Mr. Strawberry? Warden Murphy seems to know who Evil Coop is talking about. That he is not taking calls suggests to me that he is dead (and Murphy probably had something to do with it).

It now appears that Evil Coop was not just retrieving info on Yankton Prison, but setting up something that he could trigger remotely through the phone.

When he first dials a number, you hear computer sounds, then he enters a code which triggers the computer program.

What’s up with that black box with the two red lights in Buenos Aires? At first I wondered if maybe it had shriveled into that little hunk after the woman at the beginning of the show called it, but we were just seeing it happen at the end. Upon re-watching, however, they lingered on the box longer that first time than it took to shrivel up after the lights flashed this time.

Of course Buenos Aires brings immediate thoughts of Phillip Jeffries in Fire Walk with Me. One suspects they are somehow connected.

Poor Coop misses his shoes.

I had not realized from what we had seen that Becky and Steven were actually married, but they both have the last name of Burnett in the credits. This conjures memories of Leo and Shelly and history repeating it’s self.

Sad to see that Toad (Marv Rosand) had passed away.
