Here's something I just discovered in one of the newslists I subscribe
to... an obvious copy-cat of the red Masked Avenger (the original
Indigenous super-hero)!

MNN Exclusive. The Ten Infinite Commandments of the Incomparable Red- X
MNN Mohawk Nation News. Kahnawake Mohawk Territory. June 9, 2004. The
sun never seems to set on the infamous Red-X. This may have something to
do with the inspirational itinerary of this inexhaustible sage. MNN got
lucky this week and caught him for an impromptu interview as he mounted
the big silver eagle to head out to the land where the sun always rises
to smile on the shining Keepers of the Haudenosaunee Eastern Door.
"Enlighten us oh Red-X" MNN asked. "How do you live your life as a field
warrior?"
"That’s Easy" pontificated the great Red instructor. "I just follow the
Ten Infinite Commandments."
"Can you elucidate this for us?" we queried.
"I am so glad you asked", sayeth the Red-X. He scratched his wonderful
face which is covered most of the time by a beaded black hood and sun
glasses.
"In order for a people to go forward there must be guiding principles.
As I will illuminate for you, there was once a previous time long, long
ago. That’s when I was trying to instruct my people on how to survive in
the desert with just a mouth full of water. In that ancient and ill
begotten era we came upon a burning Bush. It was sending smoke signals
up into the great night sky. That’s how we found the Ten Infinite
Commandments that led us to fulfill our inordinate potential as shit
disturbers, pains in the neck and general tourist attractions. This is
the source of our inexhaustible infallibilism:
BE BRAVE AND FEARLESS. Always look every House Injun in the eye. Stare
them down every chance you get. Don’t blink and never turn your back.
You just gotta know, those knives’ll spring out in a flash. They’re
gonna stab you every chance they get.
BE STRONG. Keep your rez bombs and pow wow cars in shape. Make sure they
can outrun the master’s security vehicles and the House Injun’s S.U.V.
Respect the women - especially those fightin’ insurgent field warrior
women who chase off all them cops and peepin’ tomahawks tryin’ to invade
the plantation.
FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS. Even a dirty look calls for action. Keep your
cell phone charged and your windshield bug spray topped up at all times.
Make sure your arsenal is in order. Remember your bag of pebbles for
your sling-shot, your bottle of Deep-Woods OFF and your ever-ready mask.
MAINTAIN A STRONG SENSE OF NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE. Don’t incubate your
dirty laundry in public. Don’t vote in externally imposed elections or
indorsate their incumbent candidates. To accept the House Injun’s
institutions is to colonize your mind to weakness.
MAINTAIN INSPIRATIONAL INITIATIVE. Always instigate nature’s law of
self-preservation. Beat the shit out of the master and all those House
Injuns who try to destroy you, mislead your people and track mud on the
floor.
DEVELOP THE SPIRIT OF CO-OPERATION. Work with everyone who is ready to
help you. But beware of those bearing gifts who might be on welfare or
government grants. These are signs that someone might want to make weird
deals. They might try to infiltrate your insulation to conduct low level
surveillance or bring in surgeons to turn you into a plastic Pocahantis.
Beware of interior decorators whose underlying agenda is to put all the
Indians in the cupboard. They might even want to start re-modelling your
house by burning it down.
THINK RIGHT SO THAT YE SHALL DO RIGHT AND BE RIGHT. Right? And the right
reason for doing this is to make sure there is something LEFT in the
future for our children and our institutions and our traditions.
RESPECT OTHERS & THEIR RIGHTS. But if they don’t want to respect yours,
then give them the first of three warnings before dropping the black
beads. If they hold the shells clutched in a panicky grip, and show
signs and symptoms of behavioural modification, concede to mercy for the
poor slob. Use your own inspirational imagination when passing sentence
on those who collaborate with the enemy and remember to treat everyone
equally. This means inculcating the master and the House Injun exactly
the way they inculcate others. Following the indoctrinations of their
church and their state, they seem to have inordinate inclinations
towards burning at the stake, child abduction, perversions, the death
penalty, depleting uranium in warfare and so on and so forth.
ACQUIRE WISDOM AND KNOWEDGE OF THE WORLD. Make sure you understand your
enemies. Especially the integral workings of incipient institutions like
the church, the state and big corporations. Case in point: most of the
colonized people don’t realize that Jesus Christ was actually a human
being. He was born of a Jewish mother from the royal house of Benjamin
and he had a twin brother named James who was also conceived out of
wedlock by the Roman Emperor Tiberius. The whole story is part of one of
the oldest and most infamous disinformation campaigns in the world. My
commandments, on the other hand, are just facts of natural law. If you
follow yourself and the Ten Infinite Commandments you will not be
trapped by the whimsical religious fantasy of a church established to
dominate and control as so frankly admitted and expressed by Pope Leo
13th. In other words, don’t wait for some mythical being to save and
indoctrinate you. You already have the weapons of your own salvation –
truth, beauty, imagination, immortality and whatever. But enough of this
subject, because it really irritates the Red-X, and he doesn’t want you
to forget the one last rule of inalienable and inexpressible importance:
ACQUIRE ADVANCED HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS. Don’t have sex with interplanetary
aliens. Avoid inbreeding and don’t let yourself be cloned.
And if none of the above work, then make sure you have an arsenal of
weapons in that little cubby hole in your shanty on tobacco road. You
need weapons you can dig up when the moment comes and the smoke gets in
your eyes .… weapons like Pinesol, papal and imperial edicts, herbal
essence air conditioner, international and constitutional conventions,
not to mention Indigenous law - especially the Kaienerekowa - the Great
Law of Peace.
"The infinite moral of this story" said the Red-X, "is to remember that
the eagle never flies with the dove, nor does the lion lay with the
lamb, unless the dove is clutched in the eagle’s claws and the lamb’s
carcass is in the jaws of the lion. This is nature’s law, like it or
not, and like the Great Law it is good law. In other words, never depend
on the preachings of the revisionists.
