    New Zealand: Hunt for 'filthy savage' Maori  after rape attack
A man who repeatedly raped a woman in her South Auckland home on Tuesday night was a "filthy savage" who must be stopped, say police.
Detectives said they were appalled by the savagery of the attack when the man, who smelt of alcohol, handcuffed his 37-year-old victim and beat her repeatedly for five hours to make her do what he wanted. Police said the attack was vicious, prolonged and premeditated, as the man had been watching the woman before he attacked. The deeply traumatised woman was staying with relatives and may not go back to the home she owned and moved into less than a fortnight ago. Detective Senior Sergeant Neil Grimstone said the man tricked his way into the woman's Pukekohe house about 9pm on Tuesday. Once inside the man, a Maori in his late 30s or early 40s, handcuffed the woman, put a pillowcase over her head and "over the next four to five hours subjected her to an horrific sexual attack". "This filthy savage needs to be held to account and he needs to be caught and caught quickly. "In the space of four to five hours he has completely destroyed this woman's life and no female should ever be subjected to what this woman has gone through. - (Newsroom)

    Letter says Yale Skull and Bones secret club has Geronimo skull  - Discovery lends weight to ultra-secret Skull and Bones society lore
A Yale University historian has uncovered a 1918 letter that seems to lend validity to the lore that Yale University’s ultra-secret Skull and Bones society swiped the skull of American Indian leader Geronimo. The letter, written by one member of Skull and Bones to another, purports that the skull and some of the Indian leader’s remains were spirited from his burial plot in Fort Sill, Okla., to a stone tomb in New Haven that serves as the club’s headquarters.   According to Skull and Bones legend, members — including President Bush’s grandfather, Prescott Bush — dug up Geronimo’s grave when a group of Army volunteers from Yale were stationed at the fort during World War I. Geronimo died in 1909.

    Bolivia: Morales to Seek Blessing From Andean Gods - No Human Sacrifice Reported
Tiawanacu idolEvo MoralesIn the ancient temple of a lost civilization far from the capital, Evo Morales will ask Andean gods for help and guidance Saturday on the eve of his inauguration as Bolivia's first Indian president.   Tens of thousands of people are expected to converge on the archaeological remains of the Tiawanacu civilization that flourished around 5,000 B.C. near the shores of Lake Titicaca, 40 miles outside of La Paz. There, Morales, a U.S. critic who won by a landslide on a leftist platform, will be blessed by Indian priests who consider themselves inheritors of this pre-Incan culture, which had no written language and disappeared mysteriously. Morales will walk onto the Akapana pyramid, put on a red tunic with gold and black detail, and accept a baton from the priests that symbolizes his Indian leadership. Morales will then walk alone and barefoot into the Kalasasaya temple before emerging to greet the crowd. - (Abo)

    IMAGINE, A GOVERNMENT THAT REALLY IS ONE WITH ITS PEOPLE
(BLUEPRINTS, GLUE, AND HAWAII) by H. Millard © 2005
Native HawaiiansWhat is the most essential and basic glue that binds living, and formerly living, and yet to be living individuals to other individuals whether they are animal or plant? Is it a piece of paper such as a constitution? Is it nebulous concepts such as "freedom" and "democracy"? Is it that they have occupied the same piece of land? No. Not one of these things is essential or basic. And none of them are very strong glue. What naturally glues together things that live or have lived or will live is having the same genome. In humans, this is usually expressed as being of the same race. - (Commentary) - (H. Millard index)

The Ignoble Savage - by Thomas S. Garlinghouse
Bashers of Western civilization wax nostalgic over an imagined Golden Age, when Noble Savages, uncontaminated by capitalism, enjoyed peace, harmony and environmental balance. In reality, prehistoric peoples waged incessant, brutal wars and hunted vast numbers of animal species to extinction - perhaps even the woolly mammoth and other great Ice Age creatures of North America.
