"To extend the music out from the indigenous ghettos, IR has created a new model of
partnership between indigenous people and western artists. This runs counter to the
"ROCK STAR MODE" (i.e., Sting, Paul Simon) of portraying exotic indigenous people
who are in need of rock stars to accomplish anything of importance and are
incapable of independent self-directed actions but excellent for photo ops standing
besides the liberal-leaning pop idols.
IR runs counter to trend of trying to this exotification of the indigenous in our
collaborations. IR works with indigenous people who live and fight in the jungles for their freedom, we also acknowledge and work with the thousands of indigenous
people who live in the favelas (poor areas) of Brazil's major cities like Sao
Paulo. These include indigenous computer wizards...Hackers. The image of
indigenous people being proficient with computer programming is counter to the
current exotic image of indigenous people."
IR also stands for indigenous reality, creating works that show the world of the
indigenous as they really are, not the manufactured photo ops published in the
mainstream press."

The Fire This Time

The smoking gun?

California attorney Orly Taitz, who has filed a number of lawsuits demanding proof of Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president, has released a copy of what purports to be a Kenyan certification of birth and has filed a new motion in U.S. District Court for its authentication.

So issued on the 17th February 1964 in The Republic of Kenya.
Just one problem. Kenya was not made a Republic until December 12th 1964!
O well, back to the drawing board!
